       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that on June 14, 2021, the 
     Supreme Court of the United States decided the case of Terry 
     v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1858 (2021), holding that crack 
     offenders who did not trigger a mandatory minimum do not 
     qualify for the retroactivity provisions of section 404 of 
     the First Step Act of 2018 (21 U.S.C. 841 note).
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to clarify that 
     the retroactivity provisions of section 404 of the First Step 
     Act of 2018 (21 U.S.C. 841 note) are available to those 
     offenders who were sentenced for a crack-cocaine offense 
     before the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-220) 
     became effective, including individuals with low-level crack 
     offenses sentenced under section 401(b)(1)(C) of the 
     Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1)(C)).

       ``(5) Criteria for determinations.--
       ``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall make a determination 
     about whether a fishery resource disaster has occurred, based 
     on the revenue loss thresholds under subparagraph (B), and, 
     if a fishery resource disaster has occurred, whether the 
     fishery resource disaster was due to--
       ``(i) a natural cause;
       ``(ii) an anthropogenic cause;
       ``(iii) a combination of a natural cause and an 
     anthropogenic cause; or
       ``(iv) an undetermined cause.
       ``(B) Revenue loss thresholds.--
       ``(i) In general.--Based on the information provided or 
     analyzed under paragraph (4)(B), the Secretary shall apply 
     the following 12-month revenue loss thresholds in determining 
     whether a fishery resource disaster has occurred:

       ``(I) Losses greater than 80 percent may result in a 
     positive determination that a fishery resource disaster has 
     occurred, based on the information provided or analyzed under 
     paragraph (4)(B).
       ``(II) Losses between 35 percent and 80 percent shall be 
     evaluated to determine whether economic impacts are severe 
     enough to declare that a fishery resource disaster has 
     occurred.
       ``(III) Losses less than 35 percent shall not be eligible 
     for a determination that a fishery resource disaster has 
     occurred.

       ``(ii) Charter fishing.--In making a determination of 
     whether a fishery resource disaster has occurred, the 
     Secretary shall consider the economic impacts to the charter 
     fishing industry to ensure financial coverage for charter 
     fishing businesses.
       ``(iii) Subsistence loss.--In considering subsistence loss, 
     the Secretary shall evaluate the severity of loss to the 
     fishing community instead of applying the revenue loss 
     thresholds described in clause (i).
       ``(C) Ineligible fisheries.--A fishery subject to 
     overfishing in any of the 3 years preceding the date of a 
     determination under this subsection is not eligible for a 
     determination of whether a fishery resource disaster has 
     occurred unless the Secretary determines that overfishing was 
     not a contributing factor to the fishery resource disaster.
       ``(D) Exceptional circumstances.--In an exceptional 
     circumstance where substantial economic impacts to the 
     affected fishery and fishing community have been subject to a 
     disaster declaration under another statutory authority, such 
     as in the case of a natural disaster or from the direct 
     consequences of a Federal action taken to prevent, or in 
     response to, a natural disaster for purposes of protecting 
     life and safety, the Secretary may determine a fishery 
     resource disaster has occurred without a request.
       ``(6) Disbursal of appropriated funds.--
       ``(A) Authorization.--The Secretary shall allocate funds 
     available under paragraph (9) for fishery resource disasters.
       ``(B) Allocation of appropriated fishery resource disaster 
     assistance.--
       ``(i) Notification of funding availability.--When there are 
     appropriated funds for 1 or more fishery resource disasters, 
     the Secretary shall notify--

       ``(I) the public; and
       ``(II) representatives of affected fishing communities with 
     a positive disaster determination that is unfunded;

     of the availability of funds, not more than 14 days after the 
     date of the appropriation or the determination of a fishery 
     resource disaster, whichever occurs later.
       ``(ii) Extension of deadline.--The Secretary may extend the 
     deadline under clause (i) by 90 days to evaluate and make 
     determinations on eligible requests.
       ``(C) Considerations.--In determining the allocation of 
     appropriations for a fishery resource disaster, the Secretary 
     shall consider commercial, charter, headboat, or seafood 
     processing revenue losses and may consider the following 
     factors:
       ``(i) Direct economic impacts.
       ``(ii) Uninsured losses.
       ``(iii) Losses of subsistence and Tribal ceremonial fishing 
     opportunity.
       ``(iv) Losses of recreational fishing opportunity.
       ``(v) Aquaculture operations revenue loss.
       ``(vi) Direct revenue losses to a fishing community.
       ``(vii) Treaty obligations.
       ``(viii) Other economic impacts.
       ``(D) Spend plans.--To receive an allocation from funds 
     available under paragraph (9), a requester with an 
     affirmative fishery resource disaster determination shall 
     submit a spend plan to the Secretary, not more than 120 days 
     after receiving notification that funds are available, that 
     shall include the following information, if applicable:
       ``(i) Objectives and outcomes, with an emphasis on 
     addressing the factors contributing to the fishery resource 
     disaster and minimizing future uninsured losses, if 
     applicable.
       ``(ii) Statement of work.
       ``(iii) Budget details.
       ``(E) Regional contact.--If so requested, the Secretary 
     shall provide a regional contact within the National Oceanic 
     and Atmospheric Administration to facilitate review of spend 
     plans and disbursal of funds.
       ``(F) Disbursal of funds.--
       ``(i) Availability.--Funds shall be made available to 
     grantees not later than 90 days after the date the Secretary 
     receives a complete spend plan.
       ``(ii) Method.--The Secretary may provide an allocation of 
     funds under this subsection in the form of a grant, direct 
     payment, cooperative agreement, loan, or contract.
       ``(iii) Eligible uses.--

       ``(I) In general.--Funds allocated for fishery resources 
     disasters under this subsection shall restore the fishery 
     affected by such a disaster, prevent a similar disaster in 
     the future, or assist the affected fishing community, and 
     shall prioritize the following uses, which are not in order 
     of priority:

       ``(aa) Habitat conservation and restoration and other 
     activities, including scientific research, that reduce 
     adverse impacts to the fishery or improve understanding of 
     the affected species or its ecosystem.
       ``(bb) The collection of fishery information and other 
     activities that improve management of the affected fishery.
       ``(cc) In a commercial fishery, capacity reduction and 
     other activities that improve management of fishing effort, 
     including funds to offset budgetary costs to refinance a 
     Federal fishing capacity reduction loan or to repay the 
     principal of a Federal fishing capacity reduction loan.
       ``(dd) Developing, repairing, or improving fishery-related 
     public infrastructure.
       ``(ee) Direct assistance to a person, fishing community 
     (including assistance for lost fisheries resource levies), or 
     a business to alleviate economic loss incurred as a direct 
     result of a fishery resource disaster, particularly when 
     affected by a circumstance described in paragraph (5)(D).
       ``(ff) Hatcheries and stock enhancement to help rebuild the 
     affected stock or offset fishing pressure on the affected 
     stock.

       ``(II) Displaced fishery employees.--Where appropriate, 
     individuals carrying out the activities described in items 
     (aa) through (dd) of subclause (I) shall be individuals who 
     are, or were, employed in a commercial, charter, or Tribal 
     fishery for which the Secretary has determined that a fishery 
     resource disaster has occurred.

       ``(7) Limitations.--
       ``(A) Federal share.--
       ``(i) In general.--Except as provided in clauses (ii) and 
     (iii), the Federal share of the cost of any activity carried 
     out under the authority of this subsection shall not exceed 
     75 percent of the cost of that activity.
       ``(ii) Waiver.--The Secretary may waive the non-Federal 
     share requirements of this subsection, if the Secretary 
     determines that--

       ``(I) no reasonable means are available through which the 
     recipient of the Federal share can meet the non-Federal share 
     requirement; and
       ``(II) the probable benefit of 100 percent Federal
