    [[Page 132 STAT. 393]]

        Sec. 752. (a) The Secretary of Agriculture (referred to in this
    section as the ``Secretary'') shall carry out a pilot program during
    fiscal year 2018 with respect to the 2017 crop year for county-level
    agriculture risk coverage payments under section 1117(b)(1) of the
    Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017(b)(1)), that provides all or
    some of the State Farm Service Agency offices in each State the
    opportunity to provide agricultural producers in the State a
    supplemental payment described in subsection (c) based on the alternate
    calculation method described in subsection (b) for 1 or more counties in
    a State if the office for that State determines that the alternate
    calculation method is necessary to ensure that, to the maximum extent
    practicable, there are not significant yield calculation disparities
    between comparable counties in the State.
        (b) The alternate calculation method referred to in subsection (a)
    is a method of calculating the actual yield for the 2017 crop year for
    county-level agriculture risk coverage payments under section 1117(b)(1)
    of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017(b)(1)), under which--
                (1) county data of the National Agricultural Statistics
            Service (referred to in this section as ``NASS data'') is used
            for the calculations;
                (2) if there is insufficient NASS data for a county (as
            determined under standards of the Secretary in effect as of the
            date of enactment of this Act) or the available NASS data
            produces a substantially disparate result, the calculation of
            the county yield is determined using comparable contiguous
            county NASS data as determined by the Farm Service Agency office
            in the applicable State; and
                (3) if there is insufficient NASS data for a comparable
            contiguous county (as determined under standards of the
            Secretary in effect as of the date of enactment of this Act),
            the calculation of the county yield is determined using reliable
            yield data from other sources, such as Risk Management Agency
            data, National Agricultural Statistics Service district data,
            National Agricultural Statistics Service State yield data, or
            other data as determined by the Farm Service Agency office in
            the applicable State.

        (c)(1) A supplemental payment made under the pilot program
    established under this section may be made to an agricultural producer
    who is subject to the alternate calculation method described in
    subsection (b) if that agricultural producer would otherwise receive a
    county-level agriculture risk coverage payment for the 2017 crop year in
    an amount that is less than the payment that the agricultural producer
    would receive under the alternate calculation method.
        (2) The amount of a supplemental payment to an agricultural producer
    under this section may not exceed the difference between--
                (A) the payment that the agricultural producer would have
            received without the alternate calculation method described in
            subsection (b); and
                (B) the payment that the agricultural producer would receive
            using the alternate calculation method.

        (d)(1) There is appropriated to the Secretary, out of funds of the
    Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $5,000,000, to remain available
    until September 30, 2019, to carry out the pilot program described in
    this section.

    [[Page 132 STAT. 394]]

        (2) Of the funds appropriated, the Secretary shall use not more than
    $5,000,000 to carry out the pilot program described in this section.
        (e)(1) To the maximum extent practicable, the Secretary shall select
    States to participate in the pilot program under this section so the
    cost of the pilot program equals the amount provided under subsection
    (d).
        (2) To the extent that the cost of the pilot program exceeds the
    amount made available, the Secretary shall reduce all payments under the
    pilot program on a pro rata basis.

    Council or Mayor of the District of Columbia from addressing the issue

    government-to-government relationship between the United States and that
    tribe, or that tribe's ability to access future appropriations.
        Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds available to
    the Bureau of Indian Education, other than the amounts provided herein
    for assistance to public schools under 25 U.S.C. 452 et seq., shall be
    available to support the operation of any elementary or secondary school
    in the State of Alaska.
        No funds available to the Bureau of Indian Education shall be used
    to support expanded grades for any school or dormitory beyond the grade
    structure in place or approved by the Secretary of the Interior at each
    school in the Bureau of Indian Education school system as of October 1,
    1995, except that the Secretary of the Interior may waive this
    prohibition to support expansion of up to one additional grade when the
    Secretary determines such waiver is needed to support accomplishment of
    the mission of the Bureau of Indian Education, or more than one grade to
    expand the elementary grade structure for Bureau-funded schools with a
    K-2 grade structure on October 1, 1996. Appropriations made available in

    a charter school that is in existence on the date of the enactment of
    this Act and that has operated at a Bureau-funded school before
    September 1, 1999, may continue to operate during that period, but only
    if the charter school pays to the Bureau a pro rata share of funds to
    reimburse the Bureau for the use of the real and personal property
    (including buses and vans), the funds of the charter school are kept
    separate

    [[Page 132 STAT. 650]]

    and apart from Bureau funds, and the Bureau does not assume any
    obligation for charter school programs of the State in which the school
    is located if the charter school loses such funding. Employees of
    Bureau-funded schools sharing a campus with a charter school and
    performing functions related to the charter school's operation and
    employees of a charter school shall not be treated as Federal employees
    for purposes of chapter 171 of title 28, United States Code.
        Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 113 of
    title I of appendix C of Public Law 106-113, if in fiscal year 2003 or
    2004 a grantee received indirect and administrative costs pursuant to a
    distribution formula based on section 5(f) of Public Law 101-301, the
    Secretary shall continue to distribute indirect and administrative cost
    funds to such grantee using the section 5(f) distribution formula.
        Funds available under this Act may not be used to establish
    satellite locations of schools in the Bureau school system as of
    September 1, 1996, except that the Secretary may waive this prohibition
    in order for an Indian tribe to provide language and cultural immersion
    educational programs for non-public schools located within the
    jurisdictional area of the tribal government which exclusively serve
    tribal members, do not include grades beyond those currently served at
    the existing Bureau-funded school, provide an educational environment
    with educator presence and academic facilities comparable to the Bureau-
    funded school, comply with all applicable Tribal, Federal, or State
    health and safety standards, and the Americans with Disabilities Act,
    and demonstrate the benefits of establishing operations at a satellite
    location in lieu of incurring extraordinary costs, such as for
    transportation or other impacts to students such as those caused by
    busing students extended distances:  Provided, That no funds available
    under this Act may be used to fund operations, maintenance,
    rehabilitation, construction or other facilities-related costs for such
    assets that are not owned by the Bureau:  Provided further, That the
    term ``satellite school'' means a school location physically separated
    from the existing Bureau school by more than 50 miles but that forms
    part of the existing school in all other respects.
        Of the prior year unobligated balances available for the ``Operation
    of Indian Programs'' account, $8,000,000 are permanently rescinded.

                (1) ensure that Federal policy relating to forest
            bioenergy--
                        (A) is consistent across all Federal departments and
                    agencies; and
                        (B) recognizes the full benefits of the use of
                    forest biomass for energy, conservation, and responsible
                    forest management; and
                (2) establish clear and simple policies for the use of
            forest biomass as an energy solution, including policies that--
                        (A) reflect the carbon-neutrality of forest
                    bioenergy and recognize biomass as a renewable energy
                    source, provided the use of forest biomass for energy
                    production does not cause conversion of forests to non-
                    forest use.
                        (B) encourage private investment throughout the

                              (i) working forests;
                              (ii) harvesting operations;
                              (iii) forest improvement operations;
                              (iv) forest bioenergy production;

                              (vi) paper manufacturing;
                        (C) encourage forest management to improve forest
                    health; and
                        (D) recognize State initiatives to produce and use
                    forest biomass.

    for borrowers of loans made under part D of title IV of such Act who
    would qualify for loan cancellation under section 455(m) except some, or
    all, of the 120 required payments under section 455(m)(1)(A) do not
    qualify for purposes of the program because they were monthly payments
    made in accordance with graduated or extended repayment plans as
    described under subparagraph (B) or (C) of section 455(d)(1) or the
    corresponding repayment plan for a consolidation loan made under section

    cancellation as described in the matter preceding this proviso and the
    most recent monthly payment made by the borrower at the time of such

    calculated under, and for which the borrower would otherwise qualify
    for, clause (i) or (iv) of section 455(m)(1)(A) regarding income-based
    or income-contingent repayment plans, with exception for a borrower who
    would have otherwise been eligible under this section but demonstrates

    Secretary shall develop and make available a simple method for borrowers
    to apply for loan cancellation under this section within 60 days of

    provide loan cancellation under this section to eligible borrowers on a
    first-come, first-serve basis, based on the date of application and
    subject to both the limitation on total loan volume at application for
    such loan cancellation specified in the second proviso and the
    availability of appropriations under this section:  Provided further,
    That no borrower may, for the same service, receive a reduction of loan
    obligations under both this section and section 428J, 428K, 428L, or 460
    of such Act.
        Sec. 316.  Of the amounts made available under this title under the

    under part D of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 who may
    intend to qualify for loan cancellation under 455(m) of such Act (20
    U.S.C. 1087e(m)), to ensure that borrowers are meeting the terms and
    conditions of such loan cancellation:  Provided, That the Secretary
    shall specifically conduct outreach to assist borrowers who would
    qualify for loan cancellation under 455(m) of such Act except that the
    borrower has made some, or all, of the 120 required payments under a
    repayment plan that is not described under section 455(m)(A) of such
    Act, to encourage borrowers to enroll in a qualifying repayment plan:
    Provided further, That the Secretary shall also communicate to all
    Direct Loan borrowers the full requirements of 455(m) of such Act and
    improve the filing of employment certification by providing improved
    outreach and information such as outbound calls, electronic
    communications, ensuring prominent access to program requirements and
    benefits on each servicer's website, and creating an option for all
    borrowers to complete the entire payment certification process
    electronically and on a centralized website.

    of 1 calendar year in payment to the United States of principal or

    manner.
        (e) Determinations.--
                (1) In general.--The provisions of this section shall not

                    reimbursement of such taxes; or
                        (B) the foreign policy interests of the United

                    that United States assistance is not subject to
                    taxation.
                (2) Consultation.--The Secretary of State shall consult with
            the Committees on Appropriations at least 15 days prior to

            applicable to United States foreign assistance for such country
            generally, or an individual agreement between the Government of
            the United States and such government that describes, among
            other things, the treatment for tax purposes that will be
            accorded the United States assistance provided under that
            agreement.
                (2) Taxes and taxation.--The term ``taxes and taxation''

            include individual income taxes assessed to local staff.

    State or the United States Agency for International Development that are
    specifically designated for particular programs or activities by this or
    any other Act may be extended for an additional fiscal year if the
    Secretary of State or the USAID Administrator, as

    [[Page 132 STAT. 869]]

    appropriate, determines and reports promptly to the Committees on
    Appropriations that the termination of assistance to a country or a
    significant change in circumstances makes it unlikely that such
    designated funds can be obligated during the original period of
    availability:  Provided, That such designated funds that continue to be
    available for an additional fiscal year shall be obligated only for the
    purpose of such designation.
        (c) Other Acts.--Ceilings and specifically designated funding levels

                          arab league boycott of israel

        Sec. 7035.  It is the sense of the Congress that--
                (1) the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the secondary
            boycott of American firms that have commercial ties with Israel,
            is an impediment to peace in the region and to United States
            investment and trade in the Middle East and North Africa;
                (2) the Arab League boycott, which was regrettably
            reinstated in 1997, should be immediately and publicly
            terminated, and the Central Office for the Boycott of Israel
            immediately disbanded;

            country; and

            specific steps being taken by the United States to encourage
            Arab League states to normalize their relations with Israel to
            bring about the termination of the Arab League boycott of
            Israel, including those to encourage allies and trading partners
            of the United States to enact laws prohibiting businesses from
            complying with the boycott and penalizing businesses that do
            comply.

                        (A) has demonstrated a firm commitment to peaceful

                    terrorism and terrorist financing in the West Bank and
                    Gaza, including the dismantling of terrorist
                    infrastructures, and is cooperating with appropriate
                    Israeli and other appropriate security organizations;
                    and
                (2) the Palestinian Authority (or the governing entity of a
            new Palestinian state) is working with other countries in

    [[Page 132 STAT. 900]]

            the region to vigorously pursue efforts to establish a just,
            lasting, and comprehensive peace in the Middle East that will
            enable Israel and an independent Palestinian state to exist
            within the context of full and normal relationships, which
            should include--

                    force;
                        (D) freedom of navigation through international
                    waterways in the area; and

                    the refugee problem.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
    governing entity should enact a constitution assuring the rule of law,
    an independent judiciary, and respect for human rights for its citizens,
    and should enact other laws and regulations assuring transparent and
    accountable governance.
        (c) Waiver.--The President may waive subsection (a) if the President
    determines that it is important to the national security interest of the
    United States to do so.
        (d) Exemption.--The restriction in subsection (a) shall not apply to
    assistance intended to help reform the Palestinian Authority and

                    will not be available for obligation, for such fiscal
                    year because of the imposition of any obligation
                    limitation for such fiscal year.
                (2) Ratio.--Funds shall be distributed under paragraph (1)

    project or projects to another multifamily housing project or projects.
        (b) Phased Transfers.--Transfers of project-based assistance under
    this section may be done in phases to accommodate the financing and
    other requirements related to rehabilitating or constructing the project
    or projects to which the assistance is transferred, to ensure that such
    project or projects meet the standards under subsection (c).
        (c) The transfer authorized in subsection (a) is subject to the
    following conditions:
                (1) Number and bedroom size of units.--

                    number of dwelling units in the receiving project or
                    projects to allow for a reconfiguration of bedroom sizes
                    to meet current

    [[Page 132 STAT. 1030]]

                    market demands, as determined by the Secretary and
                    provided there is no increase in the project-based
                    assistance budget authority.
                (2) The transferring project shall, as determined by the
            Secretary, be either physically obsolete or economically
            nonviable.
                (3) The receiving project or projects shall meet or exceed
            applicable physical standards established by the Secretary.
                (4) The owner or mortgagor of the transferring project shall
            notify and consult with the tenants residing in the transferring
            project and provide a certification of approval by all
            appropriate local governmental officials.
                (5) The tenants of the transferring project who remain
            eligible for assistance to be provided by the receiving project
            or projects shall not be required to vacate their units in the
            transferring project or projects until new units in the
            receiving project are available for occupancy.
                (6) The Secretary determines that this transfer is in the
            best interest of the tenants.
                (7) If either the transferring project or the receiving
            project or projects meets the condition specified in subsection
            (d)(2)(A), any lien on the receiving project resulting from
            additional financing obtained by the owner shall be subordinate
            to any FHA-insured mortgage lien transferred to, or placed on,
            such project by the Secretary, except that the Secretary may
            waive this requirement upon determination that such a waiver is
            necessary to facilitate the financing of acquisition,
            construction, and/or rehabilitation of the receiving project or
            projects.
                (8) If the transferring project meets the requirements of
            subsection (d)(2), the owner or mortgagor of the receiving
            project or projects shall execute and record either a
            continuation of the existing use agreement or a new use
            agreement for the project where, in either case, any use
            restrictions in such agreement are of no lesser duration than
            the existing use restrictions.
                (9) The transfer does not increase the cost (as defined in
            section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended)
            of any FHA-insured mortgage, except to the extent that
            appropriations are provided in advance for the amount of any
            such increased cost.

    determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local government,
    that such a multifamily property owned or held by the Secretary is not
    feasible for continued rental assistance payments under such section 8
    or other programs, based on consideration of (1) the costs of
    rehabilitating and operating the property and all available Federal,
    State, and local resources, including rent adjustments under section 524
    of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997

    effect prior to foreclosure, subject to the exercise of contractual
    abatement remedies to assist relocation of tenants for imminent major
    threats to health and safety after written notice to and informed
    consent of the affected tenants and use of other available remedies,
    such as partial abatements or receivership. After disposition of any
    multifamily property described under this section, the contract and
    allowable rent levels on such properties shall be subject to the
    requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.

    [[Page 132 STAT. 1033]]

        Sec. 215.  The commitment authority funded by fees as provided under

    or guideline relating to asset management that restricts or limits in
    any way the use of capital funds for central office costs pursuant to
    section 9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42
    U.S.C. 1437g(g)(1), (2)):  Provided, That a public housing agency may
    not use capital funds authorized under section 9(d) for activities that
    are eligible under section 9(e) for assistance with amounts from the
    operating fund in excess of the amounts permitted under section 9(g)(1)
    or 9(g)(2).

        Sec. 218.  No official or employee of the Department of Housing and
    Urban Development shall be designated as an allotment holder unless the
    Office of the Chief Financial Officer has determined that such allotment
    holder has implemented an adequate system of funds control and has
    received training in funds control procedures and directives. The Chief
    Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a trained allotment holder
    for each HUD sub-office under the accounts ``Executive Offices'' and
    ``Administrative Support Offices,'' as well as each account receiving
    appropriations for ``Program Office Salaries and Expenses'',

    [[Page 132 STAT. 1034]]

    Counsel shall include any such projected litigation costs for attorney
    fees as a separate line item request. No funds provided in this title

    payment contract.
        (b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection (c) when a
    multifamily housing project with a section 8 contract or contract for
    similar project-based assistance--
                (1) receives a Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS)
            score of 60 or less; or
                (2) fails to certify in writing to the Secretary within 3

                (H) work with the owner, lender, or other related party to
            stabilize the property in an attempt to preserve the property
            through compliance, transfer of ownership, or an infusion of

            available as deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary.

            assistance.

                ``(1) In general.--In every even-numbered year, the
            Commission shall review the schedule of application fees
            established under this section and, except as provided in
            paragraph (2), set a new amount for each fee in the schedule
            that is equal to the amount of the fee on the date when the fee
            was established or the date when the fee was last amended under
            subsection (c), whichever is later--

            fee was last adjusted under paragraph (1), or the date when the
            fee was last amended under subsection (c), whichever is latest.

    required by subsection (b), the Commission shall by rule amend the

    established under this section shall be deposited in the general fund of

    regulatory fees to recover the costs of carrying out the activities
    described in section 6(a) only to the extent, and in the total amounts,
    provided for in Appropriations Acts.

    collect regulatory fees at such rates as the Commission shall establish
    in a schedule of regulatory fees that will result in the collection, in
    each fiscal year, of an amount that can reasonably be expected to equal
    the amounts described in subsection (a) with respect to such fiscal
    year.
        ``(c) Adjustment of Schedule.--

        ``(d) Amendments to Schedule.--In addition to the adjustments
    required by subsection (c), the Commission shall by rule amend the
    schedule of regulatory fees established under this section if the
    Commission determines that the schedule requires amendment so that such

    bureaus and offices of the Commission, adjusted to take into account
    factors that are reasonably related to the benefits provided to the
    payor of the fee by the Commission's activities. In making an amendment
    under this subsection, the Commission may not change the total amount of
    regulatory fees required by subsection (b) to be collected in a fiscal
    year.

            from paying such fee.

            this section shall be deposited as an offsetting collection in,

            Federal and non-Federal users already operating on the
            frequencies described in that subsection.
                (3) The criteria that may be necessary to ensure shared
            licensed or unlicensed services would not cause harmful
            interference to Federal or non-Federal users already operating
            in the frequencies described in that subsection.
                (4) If such sharing is feasible, an identification of which
            of the frequencies described in that subsection are most
            suitable for sharing with commercial wireless services through
            the assignment of new licenses by competitive bidding, for
            sharing with unlicensed operations, or through a combination of
            licensing and unlicensed operations.

        (d) Commission Action.--The Commission, in consultation with the
    NTIA, shall seek public comment on the reports required under
    subsections (a) and (b), including regarding the bands identified in
    such report as feasible pursuant to subsection (c)(4).

                    submitted under section 113(h) of the National
                    Telecommunications and Information Administration
                    Organization Act (47 U.S.C. 923(h)) to accept payments
                    could result in access to the eligible frequencies that
                    are being reallocated for exclusive non-Federal use or
                    shared use sooner than would otherwise occur without
                    such payments; and
                        (B) include the findings under subparagraph (A),
                    including the analysis under paragraph (2) and any
                    recommendations for legislation, in the report.
                (2) Analysis.--In considering payments under paragraph
            (1)(A), the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications
            and Information shall conduct an analysis of whether and how
            such payments would affect--
                        (A) bidding in auctions conducted under section
                    309(j) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C.
                    309(j)) of such eligible frequencies; and
                        (B) receipts collected from the auctions described
                    in subparagraph (A).

                        (A) Payment.--The term ``payment'' means a payment
                    in cash or in-kind by any auction winner, or any person
                    affiliated with an auction winner, of eligible
                    frequencies during the period after eligible frequencies
                    have been reallocated by competitive bidding under
                    section 309(j) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47
                    U.S.C. 309(j)) but prior to the completion of relocation
                    or sharing transition of such eligible frequencies per
                    transition plans approved by the Technical Panel.
                        (B) Eligible frequencies.--The term ``eligible

    enactment of this Act, including an opportunity for public comment, the
    Commission, in collaboration with the NTIA, shall--
                (1) conduct a bidirectional sharing study to determine the
            best means of providing Federal entities flexible access to non-
            Federal spectrum on a shared basis across a range of short-,
            mid-, and long-range timeframes, including for intermittent
            purposes like emergency use; and
                (2) submit to Congress a report on the study under paragraph
            (1), including any recommendations for legislation or proposed
            regulations.

        (b) Considerations.--In conducting the study under subsection (a),
    the Commission shall--
                (1) consider the regulatory certainty that commercial
            spectrum users and Federal entities need to make longer-term
            investment decisions for shared access to be viable; and
                (2) evaluate any barriers to voluntary commercial
            arrangements in which non-Federal users could provide access to
            Federal entities.

        (a) In General.--After public notice and comment, and in
    consultation with the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications
    and Information and the head of each affected Federal agency (or a
    designee thereof), with respect to frequencies allocated for Federal
    use, the Commission shall adopt rules that permit unlicensed services
    where feasible to use any frequencies that are designated as guard bands
    to protect frequencies allocated after the date of enactment of this Act
    by competitive bidding under section 309(j) of the Communications Act of
    1934 (47 U.S.C. 309(j)), including spectrum that acts as a duplex gap
    between transmit and receive frequencies.
        (b) Limitation.--The Commission may not permit any use of a guard
    band under this section that would cause harmful interference to a
    licensed service or a Federal service.
        (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be
    construed as limiting the Commission or the Assistant Secretary of
    Commerce for Communications and Information from otherwise making
    spectrum available for licensed or unlicensed use in any frequency band
    in addition to guard bands, including under section 603 of this title,
    consistent with their statutory jurisdictions.

                                    serve a rural area; and
                        (B) if the Commission finds that such a program
                    would promote--
                              (i) the availability of advanced
                          telecommunications services in rural areas; or
                              (ii) spectrum availability for covered small
                          carriers.
                (2) Considerations.--In conducting the rulemaking proceeding
            under paragraph (1), the Commission shall consider, with respect
            to the program proposed to be established under that paragraph--
                        (A) whether reduced performance requirements with
                    respect to spectrum obtained through the program would
                    facilitate deployment of advanced telecommunications
                    services in the areas covered by the program;
                        (B) what conditions may be needed on transfers of
                    spectrum under the program to allow covered small
                    carriers that obtain spectrum under the program to build
                    out the spectrum in a reasonable period of time;
                        (C) what incentives may be appropriate to encourage
                    licensees to lease or sell spectrum, including--
                              (i) extending the term of a license granted
                          under section 301 of the Communications Act of
                          1934 (47 U.S.C. 301); or
                              (ii) modifying performance requirements of the
                          license relating to the leased or sold spectrum;
                          and
                        (D) the administrative feasibility of--
                              (i) the incentives described in subparagraph
                          (C); and
                              (ii) other incentives considered by the
                          Commission that further the goals of this section.
                (3) Forfeiture of spectrum.--If a party fails to meet any
            build out requirements set by the Commission for any spectrum
            sold or leased under this section, the right to the spectrum
            shall be forfeited to the Commission unless the Commission finds
            that there is good cause for the failure of the party.
                (4) Requirement.--The Commission may offer a licensee
            incentives or reduced performance requirements under this
            section only if the Commission finds that doing so would likely
            result in increased availability of advanced telecommunications
            services in a rural area.

            Act of 1994 (34 U.S.C. 12621), as added by this Act.

            consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services,

    [[Page 132 STAT. 1123]]

            does not believe that the use of such device is necessary or in
            the interest of the child or adult under supervision.

     DIVISION R--TARGET <<NOTE: Targeted Rewards for the Global Eradication
    of Human Trafficking. 22 USC 2651 note. 22 USC 2708 note.>>  ACT

    SECTION 1. SHORT TITLES.

        This division may be cited as the ``Targeted Rewards for the Global
    Eradication of Human Trafficking'' or the ``TARGET Act''.

    SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) Trafficking in persons is a major transnational crime,
            as recognized by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000
            (22 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.; division A of Public Law 106-386).
                (2) Trafficking in persons is increasingly perpetrated by
            organized, sophisticated criminal enterprises.
                (3) Combating trafficking in persons requires a global
            approach to identifying and apprehending the world's worst human
            trafficking rings.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
    Department of State's rewards program is a powerful tool in combating
    sophisticated international crime and that the Department of State and
    Federal law enforcement should work in concert to offer rewards that
    target human traffickers who prey on the most vulnerable people around
    the world.

    SEC. 1002. <<NOTE: 22 USC 2378c-1 note.>>  FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The Palestinian Authority's practice of paying salaries
            to terrorists serving in Israeli prisons, as well as to the
            families of deceased terrorists, is an incentive to commit acts
            of terror.
                (2) The United States does not provide direct budgetary
            support to the Palestinian Authority. The United States does pay
            certain debts held by the Palestinian Authority and funds
            programs for which the Palestinian Authority would otherwise be
            responsible.
                (3) The United States Government supports community-based
            programs in the West Bank and Gaza that provide for basic human
            needs, such as food, water, health, shelter, protection,
            education, and livelihoods, and that promote peace and
            development.
                (4) Since fiscal year 2015, annual appropriations
            legislation has mandated the reduction of Economic Support Fund
            aid for the Palestinian Authority as a result of their payments
            for acts of terrorism including, in fiscal year 2017, a
            reduction ``by an amount the Secretary determines is equivalent
            to the amount expended by the Palestinian Authority, the
            Palestine Liberation Organization, and any successor or
            affiliated organizations with such entities as payments for acts
            of terrorism by individuals who are imprisoned after being
            fairly tried and convicted for acts of terrorism and by
            individuals who died committing acts of terrorism during the
            previous calendar year''.

    [[Page 132 STAT. 1144]]

    SEC. 1003. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

        Congress--
                (1) calls on the Palestinian Authority, the Palestine
            Liberation Organization, and any successor or affiliated
            organizations to stop payments for acts of terrorism by
            individuals who are imprisoned after being fairly tried and
            convicted for acts of terrorism and by individuals who died
            committing acts of terrorism and to repeal the laws authorizing
            such payments;
                (2) calls on all donor countries providing budgetary
            assistance to the Palestinian Authority to cease direct
            budgetary support until the Palestinian Authority stops all
            payments incentivizing terror;
                (3) urges the Palestinian Authority to develop programs to
            provide essential public services and support to any individual
            in need within its jurisdictional control, rather than to
            provide payments contingent on perpetrating acts of violence;
                (4) urges the United States Permanent Representative to the
            United Nations to use the voice, vote, and influence of the
            United States at the United Nations to highlight the issue of
            Palestinian Authority payments for acts of terrorism and to urge
            other Member States to apply pressure upon the Palestinian
            Authority to immediately cease such payments; and
                (5) urges the Department of State to use its bilateral and
            multilateral engagements with all governments and organizations
            committed to the cause of peace between Israel and the
            Palestinians to highlight the issue of Palestinian Authority
            payments for acts of terrorism and to urge such governments and
            organizations to join the United States in calling on the
            Palestinian Authority to immediately cease such payments.

                    violence against Israeli citizens and United States
                    citizens that are perpetrated or materially assisted by
                    individuals under their jurisdictional control, such as
                    the March 2016 attack that killed former United States
                    Army officer Taylor Force, a veteran of the wars in Iraq

                    imprisoned for such acts of terrorism and to any
                    individual who died committing such acts of terrorism,
                    including to a family member of such individuals;

    [[Page 132 STAT. 1145]]

                        (C) have revoked any law, decree, regulation, or
                    document authorizing or implementing a system of
                    compensation for imprisoned individuals that uses the
                    sentence or period of incarceration of an individual
                    imprisoned for an act of terrorism to determine the
                    level of compensation paid, or have taken comparable
                    action that has the effect of invalidating any such law,
                    decree, regulation, or document; and
                        (D) are publicly condemning such acts of violence
                    and are taking steps to investigate or are cooperating
                    in investigations of such acts to bring the perpetrators
                    to justice.
                (2) Additional certification requirement.--The Secretary of
            State shall include in the certification required under

    DIVISION V-- <<NOTE: Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act.>> CLOUD
    ACT

    SEC. 101 <<NOTE: 18 USC 1 note.>> . SHORT TITLE.

        This division may be cited as the ``Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use
    of Data Act'' or the ``CLOUD Act''.

    SEC. 102 <<NOTE: 18 USC 2523 note.>> . CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

        Congress finds the following:
                (1) Timely access to electronic data held by communications-
            service providers is an essential component of government
            efforts to protect public safety and combat serious crime,
            including terrorism.
                (2) Such efforts by the United States Government are being
            impeded by the inability to access data stored outside the
            United States that is in the custody, control, or possession of
            communications-service providers that are subject to
            jurisdiction of the United States.
                (3) Foreign governments also increasingly seek access to
            electronic data held by communications-service providers in the
            United States for the purpose of combating serious crime.
                (4) Communications-service providers face potential
            conflicting legal obligations when a foreign government orders
            production of electronic data that United States law may
            prohibit providers from disclosing.
                (5) Foreign law may create similarly conflicting legal
            obligations when chapter 121 of title 18, United States Code
            (commonly known as the `` Stored Communications Act''), requires
            disclosure of electronic data that foreign law prohibits
            communications-service providers from disclosing.
                (6) International agreements provide a mechanism for
            resolving these potential conflicting legal obligations where
            the United States and the relevant foreign government share a
            common commitment to the rule of law and the protection of
            privacy and civil liberties.

                (1) Amendment.--Chapter 121 of title 18, United States Code,

    regardless of whether such communication, record, or other information
    is located within or outside of the United States.''.

            121 of title 18, United States Code <<NOTE: 18 USC 2701

            contents of a wire or electronic communication of a subscriber

                        ``(ii) that the required disclosure would create a

                    Such a motion shall be filed not later than 14 days
