SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``No Child Left Unimmunized Against
Influenza Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The influenza is a contagious respiratory illness
        caused by influenza viruses. The best way to prevent the
        influenza is by getting a influenza vaccination each year.
            (2) Every year in the United States, on average, more than
        200,000 people are hospitalized from influenza-related
        complications, and about 36,000 people die from influenza-
        related causes.
            (3) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
        Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends routine
        influenza vaccination for all children aged 6 months through 18
        years with influenza vaccine, effective July 1, 2008.
            (4) Children 2 to 17 years of age are twice as likely to
        get influenza as adults, including the elderly.
            (5) School-aged children are the population group most
        responsible for transmission of contagious respiratory viruses,
        including influenza.
            (6) The elderly and young children are the most vulnerable
        population to severe illness from influenza due to weaker
        immune response to vaccination. Experts have recognized that
        the best way to protect the elderly from influenza may be to
        vaccinate children.
            (7) School-based vaccination programs are effective and
        cost-saving ways to vaccinate children while reducing
        transmission and infection rates to the larger community and at
        the same time reducing rates of school absenteeism due to
        influenza.
            (8) Increased focus on providing influenza vaccine to
        children targeted for immunization will also help efforts to
        build a sound foundation for future vaccination efforts.
            (9) School-based vaccination programs also potentially
        represent the most feasible mechanism for community-based
        pandemic vaccination.
            (10) Increased participation in annual influenza
        vaccination programs builds the infrastructure necessary for
        pandemic vaccination.
            (11) School-based programs will investigate the feasibility
        of conducting mass immunization clinics and build partnerships
        with local public health teams, in the event of a public health
        emergency.

SEC. 3. DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM USING ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS AS
              INFLUENZA VACCINATION CENTERS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services, in
consultation with the Secretary of Education and the Secretary of
Labor, shall carry out a multistate demonstration program designed to
test the feasibility of using the Nation's elementary schools and
secondary schools as influenza vaccination centers in coordination with
school nurses, school health care programs, local health departments,
community health care providers, State insurance agencies, and private
insurers.
    (b) Program Description.--
            (1) Vaccination.--
                    (A) Children covered by other federal programs.--
                For children who are eligible under other federally
                funded programs for payment of the costs of purchasing
                and administering the influenza vaccine, the Secretary
                shall not use the demonstration program under this
                section to supplant payment of such costs.
                    (B) Children covered by private health insurance.--
                For children who have private insurance, the Secretary
                shall work with the Secretary of Labor, State insurance
                agencies, and private insurers to ensure that such
                children have coverage for all reasonable and customary
                expenses, including the costs of purchasing and
                administering the vaccine, incurred when influenza
                vaccine is administered outside of the physician's
                office in a school or other related setting.
                    (C) Other children.--To the extent to which payment
                of the costs of purchasing and administering the
                influenza vaccine for children is not covered through
                other federally funded programs or through private
                insurance, the Secretary may pay such costs through the
                demonstration program under this section.
            (2) ACIP recommendations.--The demonstration program shall
        be designed to administer vaccines consistent with the
        recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization
        Practices for the annual vaccination of all children aged 5
        years through 19 years.
            (3) Locations.--
                    (A) Selection.--The Secretary, in consultation with

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Superfund Equity and Megasite
Remediation Act of 2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
        and Liability Act of 1980 established a Federal Superfund trust
        fund for the purpose of hazardous substance removal and
        remediation at sites across the Nation.
            (2) The release of hazardous substances may threaten and
        impair public health, the local environment, community
        infrastructure, the economy, and social well being.
            (3) The Environmental Protection Agency has evaluated more
        than 45,000 sites and has currently listed 1,086 non-Federal
        sites on the National Priorities List.
            (4) One in 4 Americans lives within 3 miles of a Superfund
        site.
            (5) The expiration of the Superfund crude oil, chemical
        feedstock, and corporate taxes in 1995 has contributed to a
        funding shortfall and has shifted the burden of cleanup to the
        general public, which has prevented numerous Superfund sites
        from receiving new construction funding in fiscal years 2004,
        2005, and 2006 and slowed the pace of existing cleanups.
            (6) Delayed and slowed Superfund cleanup actions magnify
        public health risks and increase total remediation costs.
            (7) Responsible parties or potentially responsible parties
        would continue to be liable for hazardous releases under the
        Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
        Liability Act of 1980 after reestablishment of Superfund taxes.
            (8) Although costs vary from site to site, costs at some
        sites are substantial and place a greater demand on the
        Hazardous Substance Superfund resources to clean up
        contamination.
            (9) The Environmental Protection Agency generally considers
        Superfund sites where cleanup costs exceed $50,000,000 to be
        megasites.
            (10) Megasites typically are among the larger, more
        complex, and more severely contaminated of sites, presenting
        the greatest cleanup challenges. As such, megasites are a
        substantial factor driving future funding needs to clean up
        hazardous substances under the Superfund program.
            (11) The Environmental Protection Agency commits a large
        percentage of annual Superfund obligations for long-term
        ongoing cleanup work at only a few sites. These megasites
        siphon funding from other Superfund sites and result in
        construction delays. In fiscal year 2006, 45 percent of funds
        for Superfund construction and post-construction activities
        went to only 14 sites.
            (12) As more megasites move beyond the analysis and design
        phase into actual construction, funding needs for these sites
        will increase. The average annual cost per megasite is
        projected to be at least $140,000,000.
            (13) Megasites differ from non-megasites in that they
        require more resources over the long term to address
        complexities associated with developing remedies and cleaning
        up contamination that can cover many square miles and may
        involve multiple communities, responsible parties, Indian
        Tribes, or States.
            (14) For some megasites there is no ascertainable final
        remedy because remediation may involve decades of sequential
        actions, and institutional controls may be required in
        perpetuity. According to the Environmental Protection Agency,
        more than half of the mining sites currently listed on the
        National Priorities List will require operation and maintenance
        in perpetuity.
            (15) Responsible parties may not be able to fund megasite
        remediation activities that are anticipated to last for decades
        or longer. The lack of a dedicated revenue stream raises
        serious concerns about how a remediation program expected to
        last for decades, if not centuries, can be successfully
        implemented.
            (16) At megasites with no viable responsible parties, the
        Federal Government pays 90 percent of the construction costs,
        with the State paying the other 10 percent. Once construction
        is completed, the State is solely responsible for paying all
        operation and maintenance costs, a time frame that for many
        megasites may extend in perpetuity.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Home Mortgage and Loan
Performance Registry Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) there is no standardized, centralized data readily
        available and reliable for government use that details national
        mortgage foreclosure rates for single-family housing,
        multifamily housing, and small farms, or mortgage default
        statistics;
            (2) currently there is no public database that is easily
        accessible to determine mortgage lending and foreclosure
        trends;
            (3) the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 could be used
        as a means of collecting data at loan origination and using
        such information throughout the life of the loan; and
            (4) the current mortgage crisis demonstrates the need to
        establish a centralized system to collect and disclose such
        information.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to establish a National
Home Mortgage and Loan Performance Registry--
            (1) to provide the public with timely mortgage performance
        information that can be used by the Departments of the Treasury
        and Housing and Urban Development, and other agencies of the
        Federal Government to monitor trends in the mortgage market,
        identify emerging problems, make decisions about necessary
        interventions, conduct research, and effectively evaluate the
        housing market in the United States and Federal housing
        programs; and
            (2) that meets the reporting needs and requirements of the
        Federal Housing Finance Agency to provide timely mortgage
        performance information.

SEC. 3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REPORTED BY LENDER AT LOAN ORIGINATION.

    Section 304(b) of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 (12

            (1) in paragraph (3), by striking ``and'' at the end;
            (2) in paragraph (4), by striking the period at the end and
        inserting ``; and''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(5) a unique identification number for each mortgage
        loan, which shall be a part of the permanent record for such
        loan that is transmitted to any subsequent servicers of the
        loan;
            ``(6) for each mortgage loan, the appraised value of the
        residence for which the loan was made as of the time of the
        origination of the loan;
            ``(7) for each mortgage loan, a classification of the
        structure of the loan, by loan terms, including interest rate
        and repayment terms, such as 30-year fixed, balloon payment, 5-
        year adjustable rate, and such other categories as the Board
        may establish; and
            ``(8) for each mortgage loan, the lowest interest rate for
        which the borrower qualified without payment of discount points
        (commonly referred to as the par rate) to permit identification
        of mortgagors eligible for prime loans who were provided
        subprime loans.''.
