     subsystems in the building, such as the envelope, the 
     heating, ventilation, air conditioning and water heating 
     system, and the lighting system shall be allocated to the 
     appropriate building subsystem based on system-specific 
     energy cost savings targets in regulations promulgated by the 
     Secretary of Energy which are equivalent, using the 
     calculation methodology, to the whole building requirement of 
     50 percent savings.

     the person who on the credit allowance date holds the 
     instrument evidencing the entitlement to the credit and not 
     to the holder of the bond.
       ``(2) Certain rules to apply.--In the case of a separation 
     described in paragraph (1), the rules of section 1286 shall 
     apply to the qualified public school modernization bond as if

     as if it were a stripped coupon.

     purposes of sections 6654 and 6655, the credit allowed by 
     this section to a taxpayer by reason of holding a qualified

     made by the taxpayer on such date.

                   CHILD TAX CREDIT.

       (a) Findings.--
       (1) There are over 12,000,000 children in poverty in the 
     United States--about 78 percent of these children live in 
     working families.
       (2) The child tax credit was originally designed to benefit 
     families with children in recognition of the costs associated 
     with raising children.
       (3) There are 15,400,000 children whose families would not 
     benefit from the doubling of the child tax credit unless it 
     is made refundable and another 7,000,000 children live in 
     families who will not receive an increased benefit under the 
     bill unless the credit is made refundable.
       (4) A person who earns the Federal minimum wage and works 
     40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year earns approximately 
     $10,300.
       (5) The provision included in section 201 would give 
     families with children the benefit of a partially refundable 
     child tax credit based on 15 cents of their income for every 
     dollar earned above $10,000.
       (6) For a family earning $15,000 that is an additional $750 
     to help make ends meet.
       (7) Doubling the child tax credit to $1,000 and making it 
     partially refundable will benefit over 37,000,000 families 
     with dependent children.
       (8) The expansion of the child tax credit included in 
     section 201 is a meaningful and a responsible effort on the 
     part of the Senate to address the needs of low income working 
     families to promote work and such an expansion would provide 
     the benefit of a child tax credit to 10,700,000 more children 
     than the provision passed by the House of Representatives.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the ``10-15'' child tax credit provision included in 
     section 201 is a worthy start, and should be maintained as 
     part of the final package.

     this part,

     such bond shall not fail to be a qualified 501(c)(3) bond by

     used in a manner consistent with the stated charitable 
     purposes of the 501(c)(3) organization.

     to, or other use of the renewable resource by, an 
     unaffiliated person to the extent that such sale, leasing, or 
     other use does not constitute an unrelated trade or business, 
     determined by applying section 513(a).

     purposes of section 147(b), the cost of any land or renewable 
     resource acquired with proceeds of any bond described in

     subsection, the term `unaffiliated person' means any person 
     who controls not more than 20 percent of the governing body 
     of another person.''.

     shall apply to obligations issued after January 1, 2002, and 
     before January 1, 2007.

       (a) Excise Tax.--
       (1) In general.--Chapter 43 (relating to qualified pension, 
     etc., plans) is amended by adding at the end the following 
     new section:

     ``SEC. 4980F. FAILURE TO PROVIDE NOTICE OF PENSION PLAN 
                   AMENDMENTS REDUCING BENEFIT ACCRUALS.

       ``(a) Imposition of Tax.--There is hereby imposed a tax on 
     the failure of an applicable pension plan to meet the 
     requirements of subsection (e) with respect to any applicable 
     individual.
       ``(b) Amount of Tax.--
       ``(1) In general.--The amount of the tax imposed by 
     subsection (a) on any failure with respect to any applicable 
     individual shall be $100 for each day in the noncompliance 
     period with respect to such failure.
       ``(2) Noncompliance period.--For purposes of this section, 
     the term `noncompliance period' means, with respect to any 
     failure, the period beginning on the date the failure first 
     occurs and ending on the date the notice to which the failure 
     relates is provided or the failure is otherwise corrected.
       ``(c) Limitations on Amount of Tax.--
       ``(1) Tax not to apply where failure not discovered and 
     reasonable diligence exercised.--No tax shall be imposed by 
     subsection (a) on any failure during any period for which it 
     is established to the satisfaction of the Secretary that any 
     person subject to liability for the tax under subsection (d) 
     did not know that the failure existed and exercised 
     reasonable diligence to meet the requirements of subsection 
     (e).
       ``(2) Tax not to apply to failures corrected within 30 
     days.--No tax shall be imposed by subsection (a) on any 
     failure if--
       ``(A) any person subject to liability for the tax under 
     subsection (d) exercised reasonable diligence to meet the 
     requirements of subsection (e), and
       ``(B) such person provides the notice described in 
     subsection (e) during the 30-day period beginning on the 
     first date such person knew, or exercising reasonable 
     diligence would have known, that such failure existed.
       ``(3) Overall limitation for unintentional failures.--
       ``(A) In general.--If the person subject to liability for 
     tax under subsection (d) exercised reasonable diligence to 
     meet the requirements of subsection (e), the tax imposed by 
     subsection (a) for failures during the taxable year of the 
     employer (or, in the case of a multiemployer plan, the 
     taxable year of the trust forming part of the plan) shall not 
     exceed $500,000. For purposes of the preceding sentence, all 
     multiemployer plans of which the same trust forms a part 
     shall be treated as 1 plan.
       ``(B) Taxable years in the case of certain controlled 
     groups.--For purposes of this paragraph, if all persons who 
     are treated as a single employer for purposes of this section 
     do not have the same taxable year, the taxable years taken 
     into account shall be determined under principles similar to 
     the principles of section 1561.
       ``(4) Waiver by secretary.--In the case of a failure which 
     is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect, the 
     Secretary may waive part or all of the tax imposed by 
     subsection (a) to the extent that the payment of such tax 
     would be excessive or otherwise inequitable relative to the 
     failure involved.
       ``(d) Liability for Tax.--The following shall be liable for 
     the tax imposed by subsection (a):
       ``(1) In the case of a plan other than a multiemployer

     SEC. 901. ENSURING DEBT REDUCTION.

       (a) Trigger.--
       (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     this Act or any other law, the effective date of a provision 
     of law described in paragraph (2) shall be delayed as 
     provided in paragraph (3).
       (2) Provision described.--A provision of law described in 
     this paragraph is--
       (A) a provision of this Act that takes effect in calendar 
     year 2003, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, or 2007 and results in a 
     revenue reduction; or
       (B) a provision of law that--
       (i) is enacted after the date of enactment of this Act; and
       (ii) takes effect in fiscal year 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 
     2006, or 2007 and causes increased outlays through mandatory 
     spending (except for automatic or annually enacted cost of 
     living adjustments for benefits enacted prior to the date of 
     enactment of this Act).
       (3) Delay.--If, on September 30 of fiscal year 2002, 2003, 
     2004, 2005, 2006, or 2007, the Secretary of the Treasury 
     determines that the limit on the debt held by the public in 
     section 253A(a) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985 has been exceeded for that fiscal year, 
     the effective date of any provision of law described in 
     paragraph (2) that takes effect during the next fiscal year 
     shall be delayed by 1 calendar year.
       (4) Discretionary spending limitation.--Notwithstanding any 
     other provision of law, in any fiscal year subject to the 
     delay provisions of paragraph (3), the amount of budget 
     authority for discretionary spending in each discretionary 
     spending account shall be the level provided for that account 
     in the preceding fiscal year plus an adjustment for 
     inflation.
       (5) Reports to Congress.--On July 1 and September 5 of each 
     fiscal year, the Secretary of the Treasury shall report to 
     Congress the estimated amount of the debt held by the public 
     for the fiscal year ending on September 30 of that year.
       (6) Congressional Action.--
       (A) Trigger.--
       (i) Modification.--In fiscal year 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 
     2006, or 2007, if the level of debt held by the public at the 
     end of the preceding fiscal year, as determined by the 
     Secretary of the Treasury, would be below the debt target for 
     that fiscal year in section 253A(a) of the Balanced Budget 
     and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 as a result of the 
     effect of the triggering of paragraphs (3) and (4), any 
     Member of Congress may move to proceed to a bill that would 
     increase the rate of discretionary spending and make changes 
     in the provisions of law described in paragraph (2) to 
     increase direct spending and reduce revenues 
     (proportionately) in a manner that would increase the debt 
     held by the public for that fiscal year to a level not 
     exceeding the level provided in section 253A(a) of the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. 
     The motion to proceed shall be voted on at the end of 4 hours 
     of debate. A bill considered under this clause shall be 
     considered as provided in sections 310(e) and 313 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 641(e) and 644). 
     Any amendment offered to the bill shall maintain the 
     proportionality requirement.
       (ii) Waiver.--

       (I) In General.--The delay and limitation provided in 
     paragraphs (3) and (4) may be disapproved by a joint 
     resolution. A joint resolution considered under this 
     subclause shall not be advanced to third reading in either 
     House unless a motion to proceed to third reading is agreed 
     to by three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn.
       (II) Low Growth.--(aa) The delay and limitation provided in 
     paragraphs (3) and (4) may be disapproved by a joint 
     resolution for low growth as provided in this subclause. A 
     joint resolution considered under this subclause shall not be 
     advanced to third reading in either House unless a motion to 
     proceed to third reading is agreed to by a majority of the 
     whole body.
       (bb) For purposes of this subclause, a period of low growth 
     occurs when the most recent of the Department of Commerce's 
     advance, preliminary, or final reports of actual real 
     economic growth indicate that the rate of real economic 
     growth (as measured by real GDP) for each of the most 
     recently reported quarter and the immediately preceding 
     quarter is less than 1 percent.

       (B) Other fiscal years.--
       (i) In general.--In fiscal year 2008, 2009, or 2010, if the 
     level of debt held by the public at the end of the preceding 
     fiscal year, as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, 
     would exceed the debt target for that fiscal year in section 
     253A(a) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
     Act of 1985 as a result of the effect of the triggering of 
     paragraphs (3) and (4), any Member of Congress may move to 
     proceed to a bill that would defer changes in law that take 
     effect in that fiscal year that would increase direct 
     spending (except for automatic or annually enacted cost of 
     living adjustments for benefits enacted prior to the date of 
     enactment of this Act) and decrease revenues and freeze the 
     amount of discretionary spending in each discretionary 
     spending account for that fiscal year at the level provided 
     for that account in the preceding fiscal year plus an 
     adjustment for inflation (all proportionately) in a manner 
     that would reduce the debt held by the public for that fiscal 
     year to a level not exceeding the level provided in section 
     253A(a) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
     Act of 1985. The motion to proceed shall be voted on at the 
     end of 4 hours of debate. Any amendment offered to the bill 
     shall either defer effective dates or adjust discretionary 
     spending and maintain the proportionality requirement.
       (ii) Consideration of legislation.--A bill considered under 
     clause (i) shall be considered as provided in sections 310(e) 
     and 313 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 
     641(e) and 644).
       (b) Public Debt Targets.--The Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Act of 1985 is amended--
       (1) in section 250(c)(1), by inserting `` ` debt held by 
     the public' '' after ``outlays', ''; and

       ``(b) Adjustments to Debt Targets.--
       ``(1) In general.--The debt held by the public targets may 
     be adjusted in a specific fiscal year if the Secretary of the 
     Treasury certifies that the target cannot be reached 
     because--
       ``(A) the Department of the Treasury will be unable to 
     redeem a sufficient amount of securities from holders of 
     Federal debt to achieve the target; or
       ``(B) the social security and medicare revenues are less 
     than assumed in the concurrent

     83).

     available to redeem debt held by the public.
       ``(3) Congressional action.--The adjustment provided in 
     this subsection may be disapproved by a joint resolution. A 
     joint resolution considered under this paragraph shall not be 
     advanced to third reading in either House unless a motion to 
     proceed to third reading is agreed to by a majority of the 
     whole body.
       ``(c) Suspension of Limit on Debt Held by the Public for 
     War.--If a declaration of war is in effect, the limit on the 
     debt held by the public established in this section is 
     suspended.''.
       (c) Congressional Budget Process.--

     following:

     be in order in the Senate to consider any concurrent 
     resolution on the budget or amendment, motion, or conference

     result in the limit on the debt held by the public in section
