    ``(2) The balance of the CIRI Property Account shall be increased
by an amount equal to the fair market value of the subsurface estate of
the approximately 61,440 acres of deficiency selections made by
Alexander Creek, as described in paragraph (1): Provided, That the
value of such subsurface estate shall not be less than 61,440
multiplied by the acre equivalent value of the Region's entitlement
lands under paragraph (2) of the second section of 12(b)(7)(iv) of the
Act of January 2, 1976 (Public Law 94-204). The funds added to the CIRI
Property Account pursuant to this subsection shall be segregated from
all other funds therein by a method to be mutually agreed by CIRI and
the Secretary of the Treasury.
    ``(e) Land Exchange.--The Secretary of the Interior shall enter
into negotiations with Alexander Creek, no later than 180 days after
the date of the enactment of this Act, to attempt to conclude, under
the authority of section 22(f), a land exchange to acquire lands not
within any conservation system unit from the State of Alaska or the
Matanuska-Susitna Borough under the same procedures set forth in
section 22(f) to enable Alexander Creek to obtain additional public
lands within Alexander Creek's original withdrawal area in Alaska, as
identified by Alexander Creek. The subsurface to lands conveyed to
Alexander Creek under subsection (d) shall be conveyed, without
consideration, to the Region and shall be treated for all purposes as
subsurface land conveyed to the Region under section 14(f). Any land
exchange to be undertaken pursuant to this subsection must be approved
by Alexander Creek, and must be completed no later than 36 months after
the date of the enactment of this Act.
    ``(f) Adjustment in Account.--If a conveyance of surface estate is
made to Alexander Creek pursuant to subsection (e), the Alexander Creek
account shall be reduced by the amount of the actual acres conveyed
multiplied by the average value per acre of the surface acres appraised
under subsection (g). If a conveyance of subsurface estate is made to
the Region pursuant to subsection (d), the CIRI Property Account shall
be reduced by the amount of the actual acres conveyed multiplied by the
average value per acre of the subsurface acres appraised under
subsection (g).
    ``(g) Appraisal.--(1)(A) Subject to subsection (d)(2), the
Secretary shall determine the amount to be deposited into the Alexander
Creek and CIRI Property accounts by separately appraising, on a
reasonable basis, based on all available evidence, the fair market
value, as of the date of the enactment of this section, of the surface
and subsurface of each section selected as a separate parcel and
considering that `public interest' use may be the highest and best use
of such parcels.
    ``(B) Alexander Creek and the Region shall each have the
opportunity to present evidence of value to the Secretary solely with
respect to the respective estates involved, comprising surface estate
for Alexander Creek and subsurface estate for the Region. The Secretary
shall provide Alexander Creek and the Region with a preliminary draft
of the appraisal. Alexander Creek and the Region shall have a
reasonable and sufficient opportunity to comment on the appraisal.
    ``(2) The Secretary shall forward a certified copy of the appraisal
of their separate and respective estates each to Alexander Creek, and
the Region.
    ``(h) Implementation.--(1) Alexander Creek may assign to any person
or corporation without restriction any or all of the Alexander Creek
account upon written notification to the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Secretary of the Interior. In the event that such an assignment is
made to the Region, on notice from Alexander Creek to the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Secretary of the Interior, and subject to the
written consent of the Region in its sole and absolute discretion, the
amount of such assignment shall be added to or made a part of the CIRI
Property Account, and may be used in the same manner as other funds in
that account.
    ``(2) Except for such lands as Alexander Creek has received prior
to enactment of this section, and such lands it is entitled to recover
as a Group Corporation, upon completion by the Secretary of the
Interior of the appraisal process pursuant to subsection (g), and
notification to the Secretary from Alexander Creek that Alexander Creek
accepts the results of the appraisal process, Alexander Creek shall be
deemed to have accepted the terms of this section in lieu of any other
land entitlement it could have received as a village pursuant to this
Act, including, without limitation, any lands it would have received
pursuant to section 12(b). Such acceptance shall satisfy all claims
Alexander Creek had or may have had against the United States on the
date of the enactment of this section.
    ``(3) Any land acquired by Alexander Creek with funds from the
Alexander Creek account shall be deemed to be a conveyance pursuant to
this Act.
    ``(i) Treatment of Amounts From the Alexander Creek Account.--The
Secretary of the Treasury and the heads of agencies shall administer
sales pursuant to this section in the same manner as is provided for
any other Native village authorized by law as of the date of the
enactment of this section (including the use of similar accounts for
bidding on and purchasing property sold for public sale).
    ``(j) Limitation on Agents' and Attorneys' Fees.--No more than 2.5
percent of payments received by or on behalf of Alexander Creek under
this section may be paid to or received by any agent or attorney for
services rendered in connection with obtaining such payment, any
contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person who violates this
subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a
fine in the amount provided in title 18, United States Code.
    ``(k) Shareholder Participation.--Alexander Creek shall notify each
member of the Native village recognized under this section that, upon
the effective date of this provision, such members shall cease to
receive benefits from the Region as at-large shareholders pursuant to
section 7(m), and that all future resource payments from the Region

Region shall not be liable under any State, Federal or local law, or
under State or Federal common law, for damages arising out of or
related to the cessation of payments to such individuals under section
7(m) pursuant to this section.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Underserved Adult and Adolescent
Immunization Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) While the United States achieved record levels of
        immunization in the 1990s and childhood immunization coverage
        has dramatically increased, certain problems persist within the
        national immunization system. The Nation still needs to address
        persistent disparities in childhood levels of immunization
        coverage in high-poverty areas. In addition, immunization
        coverage rates for adults are well below those achieved for
        childhood immunizations. Thus, there is a vital need to step up
        our activities to immunize underserved adults and adolescents.
            (2) Presently, many at-risk adults and adolescents are not
        getting the vaccines they need, such as influenza,
        pneumococcal, hepatitis B, chickenpox and mennigitis vaccine.
        Moreover, adolescents and certain adult subpopulations
        (minorities, seniors, the uninsured, persons with chronic
        diseases) have significantly lower coverage.
            (3) This past season's shortage of influenza vaccine
        emphasized that the United States has no comprehensive flu
        vaccination plan. Delays in vaccine production and a haphazard
        distribution system creates shortages, and drives up vaccine
        prices. This past season, much of the available vaccine went to
        programs that immunize mostly lower-risk people (colleges,
        workplaces, shopping malls), leaving out the elderly and sick,
        for whom immunization could make the difference between life or
        death.
            (4) Vaccine-preventable diseases in adults cause staggering
        deaths and illnesses. Each year, about 20,000 Americans die due
        to influenza or influenza-related pneumonia. Over 90 percent of
        the deaths occur in persons aged 65 years and older. Moreover,
        pneumonia and influenza together are the fifth leading cause of
        death among older adults. The Centers for Disease Control and
        Prevention estimates that the overall cost to society from
        these vaccine-preventable diseases of adults exceeds $10
        billion per year.
            (5) The problem is exacerbated by the fact that Federal
        resources for immunizations have decreased over the last five
        years. This unpredictable funding has created uncertainty in
        State and local planning efforts. Increasingly, State health
        departments are facing difficulties in monitoring the
        effectiveness of immunizations, since the majority of vaccines
        are delivered in private health care facilities. Thus, long-
        range data collection, assessment of immunization rates and
        strategic planning efforts have suffered.

SEC. 3. PROGRAM FOR INCREASING IMMUNIZATION RATES FOR ADULTS AND
              ADOLESCENTS; COLLECTION OF ADDITIONAL IMMUNIZATION DATA.

    (a) Activities of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.--
Section 317(j) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247b(j)) is
amended by adding at the end the following paragraphs:
    ``(3)(A) For the purpose of carrying out activities toward
increasing immunization rates for adults and adolescents through the
immunization program under this subsection, and for the purpose of
carrying out subsection (k)(2), there are authorized to be appropriated
$50,000,000 for fiscal year 2002, and such sums as may be necessary for
each of the fiscal years 2003 through 2005. Such authorization is in
addition to amounts available under paragraphs (1) and (2) for such
purposes.
    ``(B) In expending amounts appropriated under subparagraph (A), the
Secretary shall give priority to adults and adolescents who are
medically underserved and are at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases,
including as appropriate populations identified through projects under
subsection (k)(2)(E).
    ``(C) The purposes for which amounts appropriated under
subparagraph (A) are available include (with respect to immunizations
for adults and adolescents) payment of the costs of storing vaccines,
outreach activities to inform individuals of the availability of the
immunizations, and other program expenses necessary for the
establishment or operation of immunization programs carried out or
supported by States or other public entities pursuant to this
subsection.
    ``(4) The Secretary shall annually submit to the Congress a report
that--
            ``(A) evaluates the extent to which the immunization system
        in the United States has been effective in providing for
        adequate immunization rates for adults and adolescents, taking
        into account the applicable year 2010 health objectives
        established by the Secretary regarding the health status of the
        people of the United States; and
            ``(B) describes any issues identified by the Secretary that
        may affect such rates.
    ``(5) In carrying out this subsection and paragraphs (1) and (2) of
subsection (k), the Secretary shall consider recommendations regarding
immunizations that are made in reports issued by the Institute of
Medicine.''.
    (b) Research, Demonstrations, and Education.--Section 317(k) of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247b(k)) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating paragraphs (2) through (4) as
        paragraphs (3) through (5), respectively; and
            (2) by inserting after paragraph (1) the following
        paragraph:
            ``(2) The Secretary, directly and through grants under
        paragraph (1), shall provide for a program of research,
        demonstration projects, and education in accordance with the
        following:
                    ``(A) The Secretary shall coordinate with public
                and private entities (including nonprofit private
                entities), and develop and disseminate guidelines,
                toward the goal of ensuring that immunizations are
                routinely offered to adults and adolescents by public
                and private health care providers.
                    ``(B) The Secretary shall cooperate with public and
                private entities to obtain information for the annual
                evaluations required in subsection (j)(4)(A).
                    ``(C) The Secretary shall (relative to fiscal year
                2001) increase the extent to which the Secretary
                collects data on the incidence, prevalence, and
                circumstances of diseases and adverse events that are
                experienced by adults and adolescents and may be
                associated with immunizations, including collecting
                data in cooperation with commercial laboratories.
                    ``(D) The Secretary shall ensure that the entities
                with which the Secretary cooperates for purposes of
                subparagraphs (A) through (C) include managed care
                organizations, community based organizations that
                provide health services, and other health care
                providers.
                    ``(E) The Secretary shall provide for projects to
                identify racial and ethnic minority groups and other
                health disparity populations for which immunization
                rates for adults and adolescents are below such rates
                for the general population, and to determine the
                factors underlying such disparities.''.

Output: Underserved Adult and Adolescent Immunization Act of 2001 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize appropriations for FY 2002 through 2005 for project grants for preventive health services. Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to give priority to adults and adolescents who are medically underserved and at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Quadrennial Energy Review Act of
2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the President's Council of Advisors on Science and
        Technology recommends that the United States develop a
        Governmentwide Federal energy policy and update the policy
        regularly with strategic Quadrennial Energy Reviews similar to

            (2) as the lead agency in support of energy science and
        technology innovation, the Department of Energy has conducted a
        Quadrennial Technology Review of the energy technology policies
        and programs of the Department;
            (3) the Quadrennial Technology Review of the Department of
        Energy serves as the basis for coordination with other agencies
        and on other programs for which the Department has a key role;
            (4) a Quadrennial Energy Review would--
                    (A) establish integrated, Governmentwide national
                energy objectives in the context of economic,
                environmental, and security priorities;

                energy policy decisions;
            (5) a Quadrennial Energy Review should be established
        taking into account estimated Federal budgetary resources;
            (6) the development of an energy policy resulting from a
        Quadrennial Energy Review would--
                    (A) enhance the energy security of the United
                States;
                    (B) create jobs; and
                    (C) mitigate environmental harm; and
            (7) while a Quadrennial Energy Review will be a product of
