SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Seafood Safety Enforcement Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS

    (a) Chloramphenicol, a potent antibiotic, can cause severe toxic
effects in humans, including hypo-aplastic anemia, which is usually
irreversible and fatal. The drug is administered to humans only in
life-threatening situations when less toxic drugs are not effective.
    (b) Because of these human health impacts, chloramphenicol and
similar drugs are not approved for use in food-producing animals in the
United States. However, other countries have been found to use these
drugs in the aquaculture of shrimp and other seafood, including
Thailand, Vietnam, and China.
    (c) The majority of shrimp consumed by the United States is
imported. The nation imports 400,000 metric tons of shrimp annually,
and the percentage of shrimp imports rises each year. Thailand and
Vietnam are the top two exporters of shrimp to the United States, and
China is the fifth largest exporter of shrimp to the United States.
    (d) Upon detection of chloramphenicol in certain shipments of
seafood from China and other nations, in 2002 the European Union and
Canada severely restricted imports of shrimp and other food from these
nations.
    (e) The United States Food and Drug Administration inspects only 2
percent of all seafood imports into the United States and utilizes a
testing procedure that cannot detect the presence of chloramphenicol
below 1 part per billion. The European Union and Canada use testing
protocols that can detect such substances to 0.3 parts per billion.
    (f) While Food and Drug Administration import testing did not
detect chloramphenicol in shrimp imported from these nations in 2002,
independent testing performed by the state of Louisiana detected
chloramphenicol at a level of over 2 parts per billion in crawfish
imported from China.
    (g) Imports of seafood from nations that utilize substances banned
in the United States pose potential threats to United States consumers.
Denial of entry to contaminated shrimp and other products to the
European Union and Canada will likely redirect imports to the United
States of contaminated products turned away from these countries.
    (h) Immediate and focused actions must be taken by the Federal
government to improve enforcement of food import restrictions of
seafood imports in order to protect United States consumers and ensure
safety of the food supply.

SEC. 3. CONTAMINATED SEAFOOD.

    Section 801 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
381) is amended by--
            (1) striking all of the text in the third sentence of
        subsection (a) after ``section 505,'' and inserting ``or (4)
        such article is seafood that appears to bear or contain one or
        more substances listed in section 530.41(a) of title 21, Code
        of Federal Regulations, or (5) such article is seafood
        originating from an exporter or country that the Secretary has
        identified in guidance as a likely source of articles subject
        to refusal of admission under clause (4) of this sentence, then
        such article shall be refused admission, except as provided in
        subsection (c) of this section and, with respect to articles
        subject to clause (5) of this sentence, except as provided in
        subsection (b) of this section.'';
            (2) redesignating subsections (b) through (n) as
        subsections (c) through (o), respectively; and
            (3) inserting after subsection (a) the following:
    ``(b)(1) Notwithstanding clause (5) of the third sentence in
subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary may permit individual
shipments of seafood originating in a country or from an exporter
listed in guidance to be admitted into the United States if evidence
acceptable to the Secretary is presented that the seafood in that
shipment does not bear or contain a substance listed in section
530.41(a) of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations.
    ``(2) The Secretary may remove a country or exporter listed in
guidance under clause (5) of the third sentence of subsection (a) of
this section only if the country or exporter has shown to the
satisfaction of the Secretary that each substance at issue is no longer
sold for use in, being used in, or being used in a manner that could
contaminate food-producing animals in the country at issue.''.

SEC. 4. GUIDANCE FOR REFUSING ENTRY OF SEAFOOD FROM A COUNTRY OR
              EXPORTER.

    (a) Issuance of Guidance.--Upon a determination by the Secretary of
Health and Human Services that, based on information acceptable to the
Secretary, an exporter or country appears to be a source of articles
subject to refusal under section 801(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 381(a)(4)), the Secretary shall issue
guidance described in section 801(a)(5) of that Act.
    (b) Determination Criteria.--In making the determination described
in subsection (a), or any determination under section 801(a) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 381(a)), the Secretary
may consider--
            (1) the detection of substances described in section
        801(a)(4) of that Act by the Secretary;
            (2) the detection of such substances by a person
        commissioned to carry out examinations and investigations under
        section 702(a) of that Act;
            (3) findings from an inspection under section 704 of that
        Act;
            (4) the detection by other importing countries of such
        substances in shipments of seafood that originate from such
        country or exporter; and
            (5) other evidence or information as determined by the
        Secretary.
    (c) Annual Report.--The Secretary shall provide a report within 30
days after the end of each fiscal year to the Senate Committee on
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and the House of Representatives
Committee on Energy and Commerce setting forth the names of all
countries and exporters for which the guidance described in subsection
(a) was issued during that fiscal year.
    (d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act, and no amendment
made by this Act, shall be construed to limit the existing authority of
the Secretary of Health and Human Services or the Secretary of the
Treasury to consider any information or to refuse admission of any
article under section 801(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (21 U.S.C. 381(a)).

for any of the substances listed in section 530.41(a) of title 21, Code
of Federal Regulations, then the Secretary shall notify the Senate
Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and the House of
Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce before issuing that
tolerance. The Secretary shall include in the notification a draft of
any changes in Federal statute law that may be necessary.

SEC. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendments made by sections 2 and 3 shall take effect on the
date of the enactment of this Act.

Output:
Restoring America's Commitment to Consumers Act of 2009 - Amends the Truth in Lending Act to prohibit the annual percentage rate (APR) applicable to an extension of credit on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan from exceeding 16%.

Includes in an APR any compensation fee (including a membership fee or an annual fee) for: (1) opening or maintaining the account; (2) granting an extension of credit; or (3) making available a line of credit.

Authorizes the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to make adjustments to the maximum APR limitation; but creates the presumption that any increase by the Board to the maximum limitation is not in the public interest unless severe economic conditions justify the increase.

Prohibits construction of this Act as an endorsement by Congress of a 16% APR.

Declares the intention of Congress that: (1) such maximum APR limitation should merely serve as a ceiling on consumer credit cards and few, if any, consumer credit card accounts would ever bear the maximum rate; and (2) consumer credit card issuers should strive to maintain APRs most advantageous to borrowers.

Treats as an unfair or deceptive act or practice a credit card account which, as of December 11, 2009, bears an APR that is less than 16%, and subsequently increases it between December 11, 2009, and 60 days after enactment of this Act.

Imposes a $15 cap upon certain credit card account fees, including fees (such as late fees, overdraft fees, or over-the-limit transaction fees) for borrower default or breach of any condition upon which credit was extended.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``District of Columbia Fair Federal
Compensation Act of 2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
            (1) A General Accounting Office (GAO) report of May 2003
        found that the District of Columbia has a substantial
        structural imbalance, ranging from $470,000,000 to
        $1,100,000,000 annually, and that this imbalance is beyond the
        direct control of local officials because it is caused by
        mandates, legislation, and other requirements imposed by the
        Federal Government.
            (2) The GAO report was preceded by 2 reports by
        distinguished groups who also concluded that the District had a
        structural imbalance: A 2002 McKenzie study commissioned by the
        Federal City Council (an organization of regional and local
        business leaders), and a 2002 study by the Brookings Institute,
        led by Alice Rivlin, the former director of the Congressional
        Budget Office and former chair of the District of Columbia
        Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority.
            (3) The components of the structural deficit are all
        Federal in origin and consist of the following: Locally
        provided services to the Federal Government; a Federal statute
        which exempts from taxation 66 percent of the income earned in
        the District; the exemption from taxation of 42 percent of the
        real property owned by the Federal Government; and the
        requirement to provide State services, such as special
        education and mental health, although the District is not a
        State.
            (4) The District's tax burden is among the highest in the
        Nation because of the Federal requirements documented in the
        2003 GAO report. However, the funding provided by these taxes
        is still insufficient to meet the obligations of the District,
        especially the long-term obligations to carry out critical
        capital projects to maintain and improve the District's
        infrastructure, projects that are not only typically funded by
        a State but that the District must carry out because of its
        mandate to support the infrastructure needs of the Federal
        Government and the entire Washington region. As a result, the
        District must obtain the funds needed to meet these obligations
        through a continuous series of borrowings, incurring more and
        more debt service payments each year, and causing the
        District's per capita rate of general obligation debt to be the
        highest in the Nation.
            (5) The GAO concluded that greater management efficiency by
        the District government is necessary, but that ``management
        improvement will not offset the underlying structural imbalance
        because it is caused by factors beyond the direct control of
        District officials''.
            (6) The GAO recommended against the only 2 alternatives
        available to the District. Raising taxes would ``worsen D.C.'s
        competitive advantage in attracting new businesses and
        residents'' and cutting services for residents and visitors
        would have ``undesirable consequences for the District's
        economy''.
            (7) According to the GAO, the options are to ``change
        Federal procedures to expand the District's tax base or provide
        additional financial support and a greater role by the Federal
        Government to help the District maintain fiscal balance''.
            (8) The District of Columbia, through prudent budgeting and
        improved management, has had a balanced budget with surpluses
        for 7 years; however, the District's Chief Financial Officer
        (whose position was created by a Federal statute) has found
        that severe fiscal problems are inevitable as the District
        works to close spending pressures and find remedies to its
        inherent structural imbalance.
            (9) Maintaining financial stability in the District, just
        as in other cities, requires a stable, predictable source of
        revenue that increases modestly but regularly over time.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to provide an efficient
mechanism and formula for the transfer of revenue from the Federal
Government to the District government, and to dedicate this revenue for
the sole purpose of rectifying an annual structural imbalance which is
due to--
            (1) Federal requirements and limitations on the ability of
        the District of Columbia to generate revenue;
            (2) the use of District of Columbia real property by the
        Federal Government for Federal facilities and other Federal
        purposes; and
            (3) the District's status as a Federal city which is not
        part of a State but incurs many of the same expenses as a State
        that would otherwise be responsible for these expenses.
