     whose rights and privileges, secured by the United States 
     Constitution, have been deprived by final actions of Federal 
     agencies, or other government officials or entities acting 
     under color of State law; to prevent Federal courts from 
     abstaining from exercising Federal jurisdiction in actions 
     where no State law claim is alleged; to permit certification 
     of unsettled State law questions that are essential to 
     resolving Federal claims arising under the Constitution; and 
     to clarify when government action is sufficiently final to 
     ripen certain Federal claims arising under the Constitution 
     (Rept. No. 105-242).
