    (c) Review.--After submission of the education plan or any
amendment or modification to the plan to the Secretary, to the extent

        contained in an education plan;
            (2) are consistent with information and data available to

appropriations Acts, the Secretary may, subject to the limitations of
this title and upon such terms and conditions as the Secretary may
prescribe, guarantee and make commitments to guarantee, the notes or
other obligations issued by local bond authorities, for the purposes of
financing repairs to school infrastructure.
    (b) Lack of Financing Elsewhere.--A guarantee under this title may
be used to assist a local bond authority in obtaining financing only if

without the use of such guarantee and cannot complete such financing
consistent with the timely execution of the program plans without such
guarantee.
    (c) Terms of Loans.--Notes or other obligations guaranteed pursuant
to this title shall be in such form and denominations, have such
maturities, and be subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by
regulations issued by the Secretary. The Secretary may not deny a
guarantee under this title on the basis of the proposed repayment
period for the note or other obligation, unless the period is more than
20 years or the Secretary determines that the period causes the
guarantee to constitute an unacceptable financial risk.
    (d) Limitation on Outstanding Guarantees.--No guarantee or
commitment to guarantee shall be made with respect to any note or other
obligation if the total outstanding notes or obligations of the issuer
guaranteed under this title (excluding any amount defeased under the
contract entered into under section 302(a)(1)) would thereby exceed an
amount equal to 5 times the amount of the grant approval for the issuer
pursuant to title III.

SEC. 302. SECURITY AND REPAYMENT.

    (a) Requirements on Issuer.--To assure the repayment of notes or
other obligations and charges incurred under this title and as a
condition for receiving such guarantees, the Secretary shall require
the local bond authority issuing such notes or obligations to--
            (1) enter into a contract, in a form acceptable to the
        Secretary, for repayment of notes or other obligations
        guaranteed under this title;
            (2) pledge any grant for which the issuer may become
        eligible under this Act;
            (3) demonstrate that the extent of such issuance and
        guarantee under this title is within the financial capacity of
        the local bond authority and is not likely to impair the
        ability to use grant amounts under title I; and
            (4) furnish, at the discretion of the Secretary, such other
        security as may be deemed appropriate by the Secretary in
        making such guarantees.
    (b) Repayment From Grant Amounts.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Act--
            (1) the Secretary may apply grants pledged pursuant to
        subsection (a)(2) to any repayments due the United States as a
        result of such guarantees; and
            (2) grants allocated under this Act for a local bond
        authority may be used to pay principal and interest due
        (including such servicing, underwriting, and other costs as may
        be specified in regulations issued by the Secretary) on notes
        or other obligations guaranteed pursuant to this title.
    (c) Full Faith and Credit.--The full faith and credit of the United
States is pledged to the payment of all guarantees made under this
title. Any such guarantee made by the Secretary shall be conclusive
evidence of the eligibility of the obligations for such guarantee with
respect to principal and interest, and the validity of any such
guarantee so made shall be incontestable in the hands of a holder of
the guaranteed obligations.

SEC. 303. PAYMENT OF INTEREST.

    The Secretary may make, and contract to make, grants, in such
amounts as may be approved in appropriations Acts, to or on behalf of a
local bond authority issuing notes or other obligations guaranteed
under this title, to cover not to exceed 30 percent of the net interest
cost (including such servicing, underwriting, or other costs as may be
specified in regulations of the Secretary) to the borrowing entity or
agency of such obligations. The Secretary may also, to the extent
approved in appropriations Acts, assist the issuer of a note or other
obligation guaranteed under this title in the payment of all or a
portion of the principal and interest amount due under the note or
other obligation, if the Secretary determines that the issuer is unable
to pay the amount because of circumstances of extreme hardship beyond
the control of the issuer.

SEC. 304. TRAINING AND INFORMATION.

    The Secretary, in cooperation with eligible public entities, shall
carry out training and information activities with respect to the
guarantee program under this title.

SEC. 305. LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNT OF GUARANTEES.

    (a) Aggregate Fiscal Year Limitation.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of law and subject only to the absence of qualified
applicants or proposed activities and to the authority provided in this
title, to the extent approved or provided in appropriations Acts, the
Secretary may enter into commitments to guarantee notes and obligations
under this title.
    (b) Authorization of Appropriations for Credit Subsidy.--There are
authorized to be appropriated to cover the costs (as such term is
defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974) of
guarantees under this title such sums as may be necessary for each of
fiscal years 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Social Security Number Online
Protection Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The inappropriate display of social security account
        numbers has contributed to a growing range of illegal
        activities, including fraud, identity theft, stalking, and
        other crimes that have a substantial effect on interstate
        commerce and public safety.
            (2) The Federal Government requires virtually every
        individual in the United States to obtain and maintain a social
        security account number in order to pay taxes, to qualify for
        old-age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits under
        title II of the Social Security Act, or to seek employment. An
        unintended consequence of these requirements is that social
        security account numbers have become one of the tools that can
        be used to facilitate crime, fraud, and invasions of the
        privacy of the individuals to whom the numbers are assigned.
        Because the Federal Government created and maintains this
        system, and because the Federal Government does not permit
        individuals to exempt themselves from those requirements, it is
        appropriate for the Federal Government to take steps to stem
        the abuse of social security account numbers.
            (3) In most jurisdictions throughout the United States,
        State and local law requires that certain public documents,
        such as business filings, property records, and birth and
        marriage certificates, be made available to the general public.
        These documents may contain an individual's social security
        account number. An increasing number of official records
        repositories, such as repositories maintained by a Secretary of
        State's office or a local clerk's office, are storing such
        records on the Internet. While online availability of public
        records improves access, it also increases the risk that social
        security account numbers will be widely displayed and misused.

SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON THE DISPLAY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON THE
              INTERNET OF THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF SOCIAL SECURITY ACCOUNT
              NUMBERS BY STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

              Internet of the last 4 digits of social security account

    ``(a) In General.--A State, a political subdivision of a State, or
any officer, employee, or contractor of a State or a political
subdivision of a State, shall not display to the general public on the

State statute, regulation, order, or interpretation, if the restriction
or limitation is greater than that provided under this section.
``Sec. 2732. Penalties

or practice of substantial noncompliance with this chapter shall be
subject to a civil penalty imposed by the Attorney General of not more
than $5,000 a day for each day of substantial noncompliance.
``Sec. 2733. Enforcement

political subdivision of a State, or any officer, employee, or
contractor of a State or a political subdivision of a State, in any

        after the close of the first regular session of the State
        legislature that begins after the date of the enactment of this
        Act. For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a
        State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year of such
        session shall be deemed to be a separate regular session of the
        State legislature.

Output:
At-Risk Youth Medicaid Protection Act - Amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act to prohibit a state from terminating (but requires it to suspend) eligibility for medical assistance for an eligible juvenile during the time he or she is an inmate of a public institution.

Requires the state to establish a process to ensure that: (1) it does not claim federal financial participation for items and services excluded from covered medical assistance, and (2) the eligible juvenile receives items and services which are covered and for which federal financial participation would have otherwise been permitted but for the juvenile's status as an inmate.

Requires the state to: (1) restore automatically full eligibility for such medical assistance to an eligible juvenile upon release from the institution; and (2) take all necessary steps to ensure that the juvenile can begin receiving medical assistance under Medicaid immediately upon such release, unless he or she no longer meets state or federal eligibility requirements.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Wildlife Global Animal Information
Network for Surveillance Act'' or ``Wildlife GAINS Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the ongoing panzootic of highly pathogenic avian
        influenza (HPAI) strain H5N1 in Asia and Eurasia is a threat to
        global human health and the global poultry industry;
            (2) the HPAI virus is capable of causing massive avian die-
        offs, and response can easily involve the culling of tens of
        millions of domestic poultry or domestic waterfowl, resulting
        in significant economic losses;
            (3) the fatality rate due to infection in humans may be 30
        to 50 percent or more;
            (4) it has long been known that wild birds are a reservoir
        host for avian influenza viruses worldwide;
            (5) the 1918 pandemic, the most lethal of the three
        pandemics that killed over 40,000,000 people worldwide, was
        caused by an influenza virus that initially jumped directly
        from birds to humans and subsequently evolved an ability to
        transmit from human-to-human;
            (6) this precedent for an avian influenza virus to transmit
        directly from birds to humans, then spread among humans,
        significantly raises the concern about the current H5N1
        influenza strain;
            (7) increased surveillance, including on migratory birds,
        is critical to controlling avian influenza and preparing for
        other potential emerging infectious diseases;
            (8) the capacity to proactively detect the threats could
        result in significantly improved disease prediction and
        prevention capabilities;
            (9) international wildlife health surveillance does not
        clearly fall under the jurisdiction of any Federal or
        international agency;
            (10) there is a continued inability to share real-time data
        across the human, agricultural, wildlife, and veterinary
        agencies on zoonotic threats;
            (11) while surveillance at domestic poultry and domestic
        waterfowl production facilities and farms is an immediate and
        on-going monitoring need and is being supported through
        relevant agencies, surveillance in wild bird populations that
        may have been exposed to the virus is a critical component to
        determine the spread of the virus, implement control measures,
        and protect human, livestock, and wildlife health;
            (12) monitoring and surveillance of wild migratory and
        resident water birds are critically important to identifying
        all strains of influenza viruses in wild birds as a library of
        possible genotypes, determining their role in the spread of the
        virus, and anticipating where outbreaks may occur to enhance
        preparedness;
            (13) improving surveillance of wildlife health around the
        world would close significant jurisdictional and scientific
        gaps in current emerging infectious disease preparedness;
            (14) other emerging diseases beyond bird flu merit similar
        attention, in terms of the potential threats to global public
        health as well as agribiosecurity and biodiversity;
            (15) the majority of emerging infectious diseases
        identified in the past several decades have moved from wildlife
        to humans, largely due to human incursions into or alterations
        of wildlife habitats and hunting, consumption, and trade of
        wildlife species;
            (16) the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virus moved
        from chimpanzees to humans via these mechanisms;
            (17) many factors contribute to disease emergence and
        spread from wildlife to domestic animals and humans, including
        environmental degradation and the handling, consumption, and
        trade of wildlife and wildlife-derived products;
            (18) from avian influenza to the severe acute respiratory
        syndrome (SARS), from bovine tuberculosis to the Ebola virus,
        and from HIV/AIDS to monkey pox, a long list of zoonotic
        diseases negatively impacts people's lives and livelihoods and
        costs the global economy billions of dollars; and
            (19) the Government of the United States lacks a
        comprehensive program to monitor wildlife health around the
        world, a program that could proactively inform preparedness not
        just in the case of a potential H5N1 influenza strain pandemic,
        but also for a broader array of emerging infectious disease
        threats that often arise at the interface between wildlife,
        humans, and their domestic animals.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this Act is to establish a Wildlife Global Animal
Information Network for Surveillance--
            (1) to more rapidly and efficiently detect, verify, and
        report on the presence of infectious diseases, such as highly
        pathogenic avian influenza, in birds and other wildlife around
        the world;
            (2) to use information on pathogens found during
        surveillance of wildlife to better delineate potential threats
        to domestic animals, humans, as well as wildlife itself;
            (3) to use information on when and where HPAI and other
        pathogens of concern are identified in wildlife--
                    (A) to better guide preparedness in the United
                States and around the world; and
                    (B) to carry out a strategic wildlife health
                surveillance initiative that will provide regions,
                countries, and specific locations with early warning
                information that will help target resources toward
                enhancement of agribiosecurity, surveillance, public
                health vigilance, and related areas;
            (4) to create an open access database within which
        information on HPAI and other pathogens of interest identified
        in wild birds and other wildlife can be shared as close to real
        time as possible;
            (5) to protect the health and safety of United States
        citizens and officials traveling or living abroad; and
            (6) to protect the economic interests of the United States
        and its partners from threats to health, agriculture, and
        natural resources, including wildlife itself.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Child Product Safety Notification
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death
        among children, and for every such injury that is fatal,
        approximately 18 children are hospitalized and 1,250 are
        treated by emergency departments for such injuries that are
        nonfatal.
            (2) According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an
        average of 50 children under the age of 5 die each year in
        incidents associated with nursery products, and about 16 of
        these deaths each year are associated with cribs.
            (3) In 2003, an estimated 60,700 children under the age of
        5 were treated in United States hospital emergency rooms for
        injuries associated with nursery products, and there were
        10,700 injuries to children under the age of 5 years associated
        with strollers alone.
            (4) Of the 397 recalls issued by the Consumer Product
        Safety Commission in fiscal year 2005, 109 (or 28 percent) were
        children's products. Children's products were recalled, on
        average, over 2 times per week, and accounted for 19,635,627
        individual units.

2065(b)), promulgate a final consumer product safety standard under
section 7 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 2056) to require manufacturers of
durable infant or toddler products--
            (1) to provide consumers with a postage-paid consumer
        registration form with each such product;
            (2) to maintain a record of the names, addresses, email
        addresses, and other contact information of consumers who
        register their ownership of such products with the manufacturer
        in order to improve the effectiveness of manufacturer campaigns
        to recall such products; and

required to be provided to consumers under subsection (a) shall--
            (1) include spaces for a consumer to provide their name,
        address, telephone number, and email address;

        legible recording of all desired information;
            (3) be attached to the surface of each durable infant or
        toddler product so that, as a practical matter, the consumer
        must notice and handle the form after purchasing the product;

        recall of or safety alert regarding that product.
In issuing regulations under this section, the Commission may prescribe
the exact text and format of the required registration form.
    (c) Record Keeping and Notification Requirements.--The standard
required under this section shall require each manufacturer of a
durable infant or toddler product to maintain a record of registrants
for each product manufactured that includes all of the information
provided by each consumer registered, and to use such information to
notify such consumers in the event of a voluntary or involuntary recall
of or safety alert regarding such product. Each manufacturer shall
maintain such a record for a period of not less than 6 years after the
date of manufacture of the product. Consumer information collected by a
manufacturer under this Act may not be used by the manufacturer, nor
disseminated by such manufacturer to any other party, for any purpose
other than notification to such consumer in the event of a product
recall or safety alert.
    (d) Study.--The Commission shall conduct a study at such time as it
considers appropriate on the effectiveness of the consumer registration
forms in facilitating product recalls. Upon the conclusion of such
study, the Commission shall report its findings to Congress.

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fort Peck Fish Hatchery
Authorization Act of 2000''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) Fort Peck Lake, Montana, is in need of a warm water
        fish hatchery;
            (2) the burden of carrying out efforts to raise and stock
        warm water fish species in the State of Montana has been
        disproportionately borne by the State despite the existence of
        many Federal projects on waterways in the State;
            (3)(A) as of the date of enactment of this Act, eastern
        Montana has only 1 warm water fish hatchery, which is
        inadequate to meet the demands of the region; and
            (B) a disease or infrastructure failure at that hatchery
        could imperil fish populations throughout the region;
            (4) although the multipurpose project at Fort Peck,
        Montana, authorized by the first section of the Act of August
        30, 1935 (49 Stat. 1034, chapter 831), was intended to include
        irrigation projects and other activities designed to promote
        economic growth, many of those projects were never completed,
        to the detriment of the local communities flooded by the Fort
        Peck Dam;
            (5) the process of developing an environmental impact
        statement for the update of the Corps of Engineers Master
        Manual for the operation of the Missouri River recognized the
        need for greater support of recreation activities and other
        authorized purposes of the Fort Peck project;
            (6)(A) although fish stocking is included among the
        authorized purposes of the Fort Peck project, the State of
        Montana has funded the stocking of Fort Peck Lake since 1947;
        and
            (B) the obligation to fund the stocking constitutes an
        undue burden on the State; and
            (7) a viable warm water fishery would spur economic
        development in the region.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to authorize and provide funding for the design and

SEC. 2. IMPACT ASSISTANCE FORMULA AND PAYMENTS.

    (a) There is established a fund in the Treasury of the United

Assistance Fund'' (hereinafter referred to in this Act as ``the
Fund''). Allocable new revenues determined under subsection (c) shall
be deposited in the Fund.
    (b) The Secretary of the Treasury shall invest excess monies in the
Fund, at the written request of the Secretary, in public debt
securities with maturities suitable to the needs of the Fund, as
determined by the Secretary, and bearing interest at rates determined
by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration current
market yields on outstanding marketable obligations of the United
States of comparable maturity.
    (c) Notwithstanding section 9 of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands
Act (43 U.S.C. 1338), amounts in the Fund, together with interest
earned from investment thereof, shall be paid at the direction of the
Secretary as follows:
            (1) The Secretary shall determine the new revenues from any
        leased tract or portion of a leased tract lying seaward of the
        zone defined and governed by section 8(g) of the Outer
        Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1337(g)), or lying

        geographic center of which lies within a distance of 200 miles
        from any part of the coastline of any coastal State
        (hereinafter referred to as an ``eligible coastal State'').
            (2) The Secretary shall determine the allocable share of
        new revenues determined under paragraph (1) by multiplying such
        revenues by 27 percent.
            (3) The Secretary shall determine the portion of the
        allocable share of new revenues attributable to each eligible
        coastal State (hereinafter referred to as the ``eligible
        coastal State's attributable share'') based on a fraction which
        is inversely proportional to the distance between the nearest
        point on the coastline of the eligible coastal State and the
        geographic center of the leased tract or portion of the leased
        tract (to the nearest whole mile). Further, the ratio of an
        eligible State's attributable share to any other eligible
        State's attributable share shall be equal to the inverse of the
        ratio of the distances between the geographic center of the
        leased tract or portion of the leased tract and the coastlines
        of the respective eligible coastal States. The sum of the
        eligible coastal States' attributable shares shall be equal to
        the allocable share of new revenues determined under paragraph
        (2).
            (4) The Secretary shall pay from the Fund 50 percent of
        each eligible coastal State's attributable share, together with
        the portion of interest earned from investment of the funds
        which corresponds to that amount, to that State.
            (5) Within 60 days of enactment of this Act, the Governor
        of each eligible coastal State shall provide the Secretary with
        a list of all counties, as defined herein, that are to be
        considered for eligibility to receive impact assistance
        payments. This list must include all counties with borders
        along the State's coastline and may also include counties which
        are at the closest point no more than 60 miles from the State's
        coastline and which are certified by the Governor to have
        significant impacts from Outer Continental Shelf-related
        activities. For any such county that does not have a border
        along the coastline, the Governor shall designate the coastline
        of the nearest county that does have a border along the
        coastline to serve as the former county's coastline for the
        purposes of this section. The Governor of any eligible coastal
        State may modify this list whenever significant changes in
        Outer Continental Shelf activities require a change, but no
        more frequently than once a year.
            (6) The Secretary shall determine, for each county within
        the eligible coastal State identified by the Governor according
        to paragraph (5) for which any part of the county's coastline
        lies within a distance of 200 miles of the geographic center of
        the leased tract or portion of the leased tract (hereinafter
        referred to as an ``eligible county'') 50 percent of the
        eligible coastal State's attributable share which is
        attributable to such county (hereinafter referred to as the
        ``eligible county's attributable share'') based on a fraction
        which is inversely proportional to the distance between the
        nearest point on the coastline of the eligible county and the
        geographic center of the leased tract or portion of the leased
        tract (to the nearest whole mile). Further, the ratio of any
        eligible county's attributable share to any other eligible
        county's attributable share shall be equal to the inverse of
        the ratio of the distances between the geographic center of the
        leased tract or portion of the leased tract and the coastlines
        of the respective eligible counties. The sum of the eligible
        counties' attributable shares for all eligible counties within
        each State shall be equal to 50 percent of the eligible coastal
        State's attributable share determined under paragraph (3).
            (7) The Secretary shall pay from the Fund the eligible
        county's attributable share, together with the portion of
        interest earned from investment of the Fund which corresponds
        to that amount, to that county.
            (8) Payments to eligible coastal States and eligible
        counties under this section shall be made not later than
        December 31 of each year from new revenues received and
        interest earned thereon during the immediately preceding fiscal
        year, but not earlier than one year following the date of
        enactment of this Act.
            (9) The remainder of new revenues and interest earned in
        the Fund not paid to an eligible State or an eligible county
        under this section shall be disposed of according to the law
otherwise applicable to receipts from leases on the Outer Continental
Shelf.

SEC. 3. USES OF FUNDS.
