       Sec. 507.  If it has been finally determined by a court or

     the United States that is not made in the United States, the

       Sec. 511.  Hereafter, none of the funds appropriated

     used for--
       (1) the implementation of any tax or fee in connection with 
     the implementation of subsection 922(t) of title 18, United 
     States Code; and
       (2) any system to implement subsection 922(t) of title 18, 
     United States Code, that does not require and result in the 
     destruction of any identifying information submitted by or on 
     behalf of any person who has been determined not to be 
     prohibited from possessing or receiving a firearm no more 
     than 24 hours after the system advises a Federal firearms 
     licensee that possession or receipt of a firearm by the 
     prospective transferee would not violate subsection (g) or 
     (n) of section 922 of title 18, United States Code, or State 
     law.
       Sec. 512.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
     amounts deposited or available in the Fund established under 
     42 U.S.C. 10601 in any fiscal year in excess of $705,000,000 
     shall not be available for obligation until the following 
     fiscal year.
       Sec. 513.  None of the funds made available to the 
     Department of Justice in this Act may be used to discriminate 
     against or denigrate the religious or moral beliefs of

     legal guardians of such students.
       Sec. 514.  None of the funds made available in this Act may

       Sec. 515.  Any funds provided in this Act used to implement

       Sec. 516. (a) Tracing studies conducted by the Bureau of 
     Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are released 
     without adequate disclaimers regarding the limitations of the 
     data.
       (b) For fiscal year 2012 and thereafter, the Bureau of 
     Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shall include in 
     all such data releases, language similar to the following 
     that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to draw 
     broad conclusions about firearms-related crime:
       (1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement 
     authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale 
     and possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies 
     may request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons 
     are not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not 
     all firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms 
     traced are used in crime.
       (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for 
     purposes of determining which types, makes, or models of 
     firearms are used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected 
     do not constitute a random sample and should not be 
     considered representative of the larger universe of all 
     firearms used by criminals, or any subset of that universe. 
     Firearms are normally traced to the first retail seller, and 
     sources reported for firearms traced do not necessarily 
     represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general 
     are acquired for use in crime.
       Sec. 517. (a) The Inspectors General of the Department of 
     Commerce, the Department of Justice, the National Aeronautics 
     and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, 
     and the Legal Services Corporation shall conduct audits, 
     pursuant to the Inspector General Act (5 U.S.C. App.), of 
     grants or contracts for which funds are appropriated by this 
     Act, and shall submit reports to Congress on the progress of 
     such audits, which may include preliminary findings and a 
     description of areas of particular interest, within 180 days 
     after initiating such an audit and every 180 days thereafter 
     until any such audit is completed.
       (b) Within 60 days after the date on which an audit 
     described in subsection (a) by an Inspector General is 
     completed, the Secretary, Attorney General, Administrator, 
     Director, or President, as appropriate, shall make the 
     results of the audit available to the public on the Internet 
     website maintained by the Department, Administration, 
     Foundation, or Corporation, respectively. The results shall 
     be made available in redacted form to exclude--
       (1) any matter described in section 552(b) of title 5, 
     United States Code; and
       (2) sensitive personal information for any individual, the 
     public access to which could be used to commit identity theft 
     or for other inappropriate or unlawful purposes.
       (c) A grant or contract funded by amounts appropriated by 
     this Act may not be used for the purpose of defraying the 
     costs of a banquet or conference that is not directly and 
     programmatically related to the purpose for which the grant 
     or contract was awarded, such as a banquet or conference held 
     in connection with planning, training, assessment, review, or 
     other routine purposes related to a project funded by the 
     grant or contract.
       (d) Any person awarded a grant or contract funded by 
     amounts appropriated by this Act shall submit a statement to 
     the Secretary of Commerce, the Attorney General, the 
     Administrator, Director, or President, as appropriate, 
     certifying that no funds derived from the grant or contract 
     will be made available through a subcontract or in any other 
     manner to another person who has a financial interest in the 
     person awarded the grant or contract.
       (e) The provisions of the preceding subsections of this 
     section shall take effect 30 days after the date on which the 
     Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in 
     consultation with the Director of the Office of Government 
     Ethics, determines that a uniform set of rules and 
     requirements, substantially similar to the requirements in 
     such subsections, consistently apply under the executive 
     branch ethics program to all Federal departments, agencies, 
     and entities.
       Sec. 518.  None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
     available under this Act may be used to issue patents on 
     claims directed to or encompassing a human organism.
       Sec. 519.  None of the funds made available in this Act 
     shall be used in any way whatsoever to support or justify the 
     use of torture by any official or contract employee of the 
     United States Government.
       Sec. 520. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or 
     treaty, hereafter, none of the funds appropriated or 
     otherwise made available under this Act or any other Act may 
     be expended or obligated by a department, agency, or 
     instrumentality of the United States to pay administrative 
     expenses or to compensate an officer or employee of the 
     United States in connection with requiring an export license 
     for the export to Canada of components, parts, accessories or 
     attachments for firearms listed in Category I, section 121.1 
     of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations (International 
     Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it 
     existed on April 1, 2005) with a total value not exceeding 
     $500 wholesale in any transaction, provided that the 
     conditions of subsection (b) of this section are met by the 
     exporting party for such articles.
       (b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export 
     license--
       (1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any Shipper's 
     Export Declaration or notification letter required by law, or 
     from being otherwise eligible under the laws of the United 
     States to possess, ship, transport, or export the articles 
     enumerated in subsection (a); and

[[Page 15904]]

       (2) does not permit the export without a license of--
       (A) fully automatic firearms and components and parts for 
     such firearms, other than for end use by the Federal 
     Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of 
     Canada;
       (B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete 
     breech mechanisms for any firearm listed in Category I, other 
     than for end use by the Federal Government, or a Provincial 
     or Municipal Government of Canada; or
       (C) articles for export from Canada to another foreign 
     destination.
       (c) In accordance with this section, the District Directors 
     of Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or 
     temporary export without a license of any unclassified 
     articles specified in subsection (a) to Canada for end use in 
     Canada or return to the United States, or temporary import of 
     Canadian-origin items from Canada for end use in the United 
     States or return to Canada for a Canadian citizen.
       (d) The President may require export licenses under this 
     section on a temporary basis if the President determines, 
     upon publication first in the Federal Register, that the 
     Government of Canada has implemented or maintained inadequate 
     import controls for the articles specified in subsection (a), 
     such that a significant diversion of such articles has and 
     continues to take place for use in international terrorism or 
     in the escalation of a conflict in another nation. The 
     President shall terminate the requirements of a license when 
     reasons for the temporary requirements have ceased.
       Sec. 521.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
     hereafter, no department, agency, or instrumentality of the
                                 ______

     49, United States Code, may be expended by any entity unless 
     the entity agrees that such expenditures will comply with the 
     requirements under this section.
       (b) Preference.--
       (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, the Secretary of Transportation may not obligate any 
     funds appropriated under this title to carry out parts A and 
     B of subtitle V of title 49, United States Code, unless all 
     the steel, iron, and manufactured products used in the 
     project are produced in the United States.
       (2) Waiver.--The Secretary of Transportation may waive the 
     application of paragraph (1) in circumstances in which the 
     Secretary determines that--
       (A) such application would be inconsistent with the public 
     interest;
       (B) such materials and products produced in the United 
     States are not produced in a sufficient and reasonably 
     available amount or are not of a satisfactory quality; or

     Transportation determines that a waiver of subsection (b)(1) 
     is warranted, the Secretary, before the date on which such 
     determination takes effect, shall--

     justification of the need for such waiver on the Department

     may not impose any limitation on amounts made available under

     manufactured goods to correct, after bid opening, any 
     certification of noncompliance or failure to properly 
     complete the certification (except for failure to sign the 
     certification) under this section if such manufacturer or 
     supplier attests, under penalty of perjury, and establishes, 
     by a preponderance of the evidence, that such manufacturer or 
     supplier submitted an incorrect certification as a result of 
     an inadvertent or clerical error.

     amounts appropriated under this title to carry out parts A 
     and B of subtitle V of title 49, United States Code, if a 
     court or department, agency, or instrumentality of the

     inscription having the same meaning, to goods sold in or 
     shipped to the United States that are used in a project to

     the ``Emergency Response, Research, and Management: Stopping 
     the Spread of the Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus Act''.
       (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Salmon are a keystone species, sustaining more than 180 
     other species in freshwater and marine ecosystems.
       (2) Salmon are a central part of the culture, economy, and 
     environment of Western North America.
       (3) Economic activities relating to salmon generate 
     billions of dollars of economic activity and provide tens of 
     thousands of jobs.
       (4) Infectious salmon anemia poses a risk to wild and 
     hatchery salmon populations and therefore threatens--
       (A) commercial, tribal, and recreational salmon fishery 
     jobs;
       (B) ecosystems which rely on healthy salmonid populations; 
     and
       (C) ecosystem based processes which rely on healthy salmon 
     populations.
       (c) Research.--
       (1) Research coordination.--The National Aquatic Animal 
     Health Task Force shall coordinate research, monitoring, and 
     reporting efforts of infectious salmon anemia in the 
     waterways of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, and 
     Idaho.
       (2) Research objectives.--The Task Force shall establish 
     infectious salmon anemia research objectives to assess--
       (A) the prevalence of infectious salmon anemia in both wild 
     and aquaculture salmonid populations throughout Alaska, 
     Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho;
       (B) genetic susceptibility by population and species;
       (C) susceptibility of populations to infectious salmon 
     anemia from geographic and oceanographic factors;
       (D) potential transmission pathways between infectious 
     Canadian sockeye and uninfected salmonid populations in 
     United States waters;
       (E) management strategies to rapidly respond to potential 
     infectious salmon anemia outbreaks in both wild and 
     aquaculture populations, including securing the water 
     supplies at conservation hatcheries to protect hatchery fish 
     from exposure to the infectious salmon anemia virus present 
     in incoming surface water;
       (F) potential economic impacts of infectious salmon anemia;
       (G) any role foreign salmon farms may have in spreading the 
     disease to wild populations;
       (H) the identity of any potential Federal, State, tribal, 
     and international research partners; and
       (I) other infectious salmon anemia research priorities, as 
     determined by the Task Force.
       (3) Research collaboration.--The Task Force shall--
       (A) collaborate with the Government of Canada and Federal, 
     State, and tribal governments to acquire baseline data and to 
     carry out the research objectives described in paragraph (2); 
     and
