     terminate the approval of a mortgagee to originate or 
     underwrite single family mortgages if the Secretary 
     determines that the mortgage loans originated or underwritten 
     by the mortgagee present an unacceptable risk to the 
     insurance funds. The determination shall be based on the

     prior written notice of any termination under this 
     subsection. The termination shall take effect at the end of

     notice, the mortgagee shall be entitled to an informal 
     conference with the official authorized to issue termination 
     notices on behalf of the Secretary (or a designee of that 
     official). At the informal conference, the mortgagee may 
     present for consideration specific factors that it believes 
     were beyond its control and that caused the excessive default 
     and claim rate.''.

     Urban Development shall maintain any rental assistance 
     payments under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 
     1937 that are attached to any dwelling units in the property. 
     To the extent the Secretary determines that such a 
     multifamily property owned or held by the Secretary is not 
     feasible for continued rental assistance payments under such 
     section 8, the Secretary may, in consultation with the 
     tenants of that property, contract for project-based rental 
     assistance payments with an owner or owners of other existing 
     housing properties or provide other rental assistance.

                      TITLE IV--GENERAL PROVISIONS

       Sec. 401. Where appropriations in titles I, II, and III of 
     this Act are expendable for travel expenses and no specific 
     limitation has been placed thereon, the expenditures for such 
     travel expenses may not exceed the amounts set forth therefor 
     in the budget estimates submitted for the appropriations: 
     Provided, That this provision does not apply to accounts that 
     do not contain an object classification for travel: Provided 
     further, That this section shall not apply to travel

     forth in the estimates only to the extent such an increase is 
     approved by the Committees on Appropriations.
       Sec. 402. Appropriations and funds available for the 
     administrative expenses of the Department of Housing and

     voucher or abstract which describes the payee or payees and 
     the items or services for which such expenditure is being 
     made; or
       (B) the expenditure of funds pursuant to such 
     certification, and without such a voucher or abstract, is

     corporation or agency and in accord with law, and to make 
     such contracts and commitments without regard to fiscal year 
     limitations as provided by section 104 of such Act as may be 
     necessary in carrying out the programs set forth in the 
     budget for 2002 for such corporation or agency except as 
     hereinafter provided: Provided, That collections of these 
     corporations and agencies may be used for new loan or 
     mortgage purchase commitments only to the extent expressly 
     provided for in this Act (unless such loans are in support of 
     other forms of assistance provided for in this or prior

     may proceed with the development of such a rule.
       Sec. 423. Except in the case of entities that are funded 
     solely with Federal funds or any natural persons that are

     associated with each activity as part of the Budget 
     Justifications. For fiscal year 2002, HUD shall transmit this 
     information to the Committees by January 8, 2002 for 30 days 
     of review.
       Sec. 426. Section 70113(f) of title 49, United States Code, 
     is amended by striking ``December 31, 2001'', and inserting 
     ``December 31, 2002''.
       Sec. 427. All Departments and agencies funded under this 
     Act are encouraged, within the limits of the existing 
     statutory authorities and funding, to expand their use of 
     ``E-Commerce'' technologies and procedures in the conduct of 
     their business practices and public service activities.
       Sec. 428. The Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
     Agency, pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act, shall 
     immediately put into effect a new national primary drinking 
     water regulation for arsenic that--
       (1) establishes a standard for arsenic at a level providing 
     for the protection of the population in general, fully taking 
     into account those at greater risk, such as infants, 
     children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with a 
     history of serious illness; and
       (2) lifts the suspension on the effective date for the 
     community right to know requirements included in the national 
     primary drinking water regulation for arsenic published on 
     January 22, 2001, in the Federal Register (66 Fed. Reg. 
     6976).
        Sec. 429. Arsenic in Playground Equipment. (a)  
     Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Department of Health and Human Services has 
     determined that arsenic is a known carcinogen, and the 
     Environmental Protection Agency has classified chromated 
     copper arsenate (CCA), which is 22 percent arsenic, as a 
     ``restricted use chemical''.
       (2) CCA is often used as a preservative in pressure-treated 
     wood, and CCA-treated wood is widely used in constructing 
     playground equipment frequented by children.
       (3) In 2001, many communities in Florida and elsewhere have 
     temporarily or permanently closed playgrounds in response to 
     elevated levels of arsenic in soil surrounding CCA-treated 
     wood playground equipment.
       (4) The State of Florida recently announced that its own 
     wood-treatment plant would cease using arsenic as a 
     preservative.
       (5) PlayNation Play Systems, which manufactures playground 
     equipment, announced in June 2001 that it would no longer use 
     CCA as a preservative in its playground products.
       (6) In May 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency 
     announced that it would expedite its ongoing review of the 
     health risks facing children playing near CCA-treated wood 
     playground equipment, and produce its findings in June 2001. 
     The EPA later postponed the release of its risk assessment 
     until the end of the summer of 2001, and announced that its 
     risk assessment would be reviewed by a Scientific Advisory 
     Panel in October 2001.
       (7) The EPA also plans to expedite its risk assessment 
     regarding the re-registering of arsenic as a pesticide by 
     accelerating its release from 2003 to 2002.
       (8) The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has the 
     authority to ban hazardous and dangerous products, announced 
     in June 2001 that it would consider a petition seeking the 
     banning of CCA-treated wood from all playground equipment.
       (9) Many viable alternatives to CCA-treated wood exist, 
     including cedar, plastic products, aluminum, and treated wood 
     without CCA. These products, alone or in combination, can 
     fully replace CCA-treated wood in playground equipment.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the potential health and safety risks to children 
     playing on and around CCA-treated wood playground equipment 
     is a matter of the highest priority, which demands immediate 
     attention from the Congress, the Executive Branch, State and 
     local governments, affected industries, and parents.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Environmental 
     Protection Agency, in consultation with the Consumer Product 
     Safety Commission, shall submit a report to Congress which 
     shall include--
       (1) the Environmental Protection Agency's most up-to-date 
     understanding of the potential health and safety risks to 
     children playing on and around CCA-treated wood playground 
     equipment;
       (2) the Environmental Protection Agency's current 
     recommendations to State and local governments about the 
     continued use of CCA-treated wood playground equipment; and
       (3) an assessment of whether consumers considering 
     purchases of CCA-treated wood playground equipment are 
     adequately informed concerning the health effects associated 
     with arsenic.
       Sec. 430. Experimental Program To Stimulate Competitive 
     Research. From amounts available to the National Science 
     Foundation under this Act, a total of $115,000,000 may be 
     available to carry out the Experimental Program to Stimulate 
     Competitive Research (EPSCoR), which includes $25,000,000 in 
     co-funding.
       Sec. 431. Sense of the Senate Concerning the State Water 
     Pollution Control Revolving Fund. (a) Findings.--Congress 
     finds that--
       (1) funds from the drinking water State revolving fund 
     established under section 1452 of the Safe Drinking Water Act 
     (42 U.S.C. 300j-12) are allocated on the basis of an 
     infrastructure needs survey conducted by the Administrator of 
     the Environmental Protection Agency, in accordance with the 
     Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996 (Public Law 104-
     182);
       (2) the needs-based allocation of that fund was enacted by 
     Congress and is seen as a fair and reasonable basis for 
     allocation of funds under a revolving fund of this type;
       (3) the Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
     Agency also conducts a wastewater infrastructure needs survey 
     that should serve as the basis for allocation of the State 
     water pollution control revolving fund established under 
     title VI of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 
     U.S.C. 1381 et seq.);
       (4) the current allocation formula for the State water 
     pollution control revolving fund is so inequitable that it 
     results in some States receiving funding in an amount up to 7 
     times as much as States with approximately similar 
     populations, in terms of percentage of need met; and
       (5) the Senate has proven unwilling to address that 
     inequity in an appropriations bill, citing the necessity of 
     addressing new allocation formulas only in authorization 
     bills.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the 
     Senate should be prepared to enact authorizing legislation 
     (including an equitable, needs-based formula) for the State 
     water pollution control revolving fund as soon as practicable 
     after the Senate returns from recess in September.
