        by the total number of hours not to exceed 106 hours, in the
        regularly scheduled tours of duty during the biweekly period.
Rates are computed to the nearest cent, counting one-half and over as a
whole cent.
    ``(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), for pay
computation purposes affecting an employee who is not a firefighter but
who performs firefighting duties during a biweekly pay period, the
biweekly pay for that period shall be the greater of pay calculated
under--
            ``(A) subsection (b) of this section and sections 5542(a),
        5545, and 5546, using the employee's annual rate of basic pay;

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Internet Fairness and Interstate
Responsibility Act'' or ``Net FAIR Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) By exercising its authority under article I, section 8,
        clause 3 of the United States Constitution, Congress may best
        achieve a consistent and coherent national policy regarding
        regulation and taxation of Internet activity and the
        concomitant uniformity, simplicity, and fairness that is needed
        to avoid burdening this evolving form of interstate and foreign
        commerce.
            (2) Because the Federal Government and State and local
        governments will have numerous reasons to interact over the
        Internet with the individuals and companies that use it, a
        lexicon of terms relating to the Internet and its use is vital.
            (3) A limited number of States have already adopted by law
        or regulation various forms of taxes that apply to commercial
        activity that are unique to the Internet or to providers of
        Internet services.
            (4) There are approximately 30,000 separate taxing
        jurisdictions in the United States, thus presenting the
        potential for an enormous variety of taxes and tax rates on
        Internet activity.
            (5) The unique character of the Internet transcends
        physical and political boundaries and permits commercial and
        intellectual communications to move from city to city, State to
        State, and nation to nation without any set path in a manner
        that is virtually unparalleled in history.
            (6) The Internet is a global network that offers the
        potential for entrepreneurial individuals and small businesses
        throughout the United States to reach customers and markets
        throughout the world with their products and services.
            (7) The United States must create an example for the rest
        of the world by preventing discriminatory taxation on Internet
        activities so that the United States can persuade our trading
        partners to resist the temptation to tax such activities and
        thereby limit the potential growth of such activities.
            (8) The innovation and creativity that has helped computer
        technology evolve into the present-day Internet has thrived in
        a tax-free environment and should be granted protection from
        local, State, and Federal taxation in order to permit this new
        medium to reach its fullest potential.
            (9) The President should seek bilateral and multilateral
        agreements through the World Trade Organization, the
        Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Asia
        Pacific Economic Cooperation Council, and other appropriate
        international organizations and fora to establish that
        commercial transactions using the Internet are free from tariff
        and discriminatory taxation.

SEC. 3. MORATORIUM ON IMPOSITION OF TAXES ON INTERNET AND INTERNET-
              RELATED COMPUTER SERVICES.

    (a) Moratorium.--Except as otherwise provided in this section, no
State or political subdivision thereof may impose, assess, or attempt
to collect a tax directly or indirectly on--
            (1) the Internet or Internet-related services; or
            (2) the use of the Internet or Internet-related services.
    (b) Preservation of State and Local Taxing Authority.--Subsection

3(a)(1) for which the United States has reserved rights for national
park purposes to all the water within those lands that was
unappropriated at the time those lands were included in Rocky Mountain
National Park, those existing rights shall be deemed sufficient to
fulfill the purposes of the wilderness designation of those lands made
by section 3(a)(1).

    United Nations personnel, and nearly 18 percent of the nation's
    civil service, as well as 300,000 injured, 115,000 homes destroyed,
    and 1,500,000 people displaced.
        (2) According to the Post Disaster Needs Assessment conducted
    by the Government of Haiti, with technical assistance from the
    United Nations, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development
    Bank, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean,
    and the European Commission, an estimated 15 percent of the
    population was directly affected by the disaster and related
    damages and economic losses totaled $7,804,000,000.
        (3) Even before the earthquake, Haiti had some of the lowest
    socioeconomic indicators and the second highest rate of income
    disparity in the world, conditions that have further complicated
    post-earthquake recovery efforts and, according to the World Bank,
    have significantly reduced the prospects of addressing poverty
    reduction through economic growth.
        (4) According to the World Food Programme, more than 6,700,000
    people in Haiti (out of a population of about 10,000,000) are
    considered food insecure.
        (5) In October 2010, an unprecedented outbreak of cholera in
    Haiti resulted in over 500,000 reported cases and over 8,000 deaths
    to date, further straining the capacity of Haiti's public health
    sector and increasing the urgency of resettlement and water,
    sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) efforts.
        (6) The international community, led by the United States and
    the United Nations, mounted an unprecedented humanitarian response
    in Haiti, with donors pledging approximately $10,400,000,000 for
    humanitarian relief and recovery efforts, including debt relief,
    supplemented by $3,100,000,000 in private charitable contributions,
    of which approximately $6,400,000,000 has been disbursed and an
    additional $3,800,000,000 has been committed as of September 30,
    2013.
        (7) The emergency response of the men and women of the United
    States Government, led by the United States Agency for
    International Development (USAID) and the United States Southern
    Command, as well as of cities, towns, individuals, businesses, and
    philanthropic organizations across the United States, was
    particularly swift and resolute.
        (8) Since 2010, a total of $1,300,000,000 in United States
    assistance has been allocated for humanitarian relief and
    $2,300,000,000 has been allocated for recovery, reconstruction, and
    development assistance in Haiti, including $1,140,000,000 in
    emergency appropriations and $95,000,000 that has been obligated
    specifically to respond to the cholera epidemic.
        (9) Of the $3,600,000,000 in United States assistance allocated
    for Haiti, $651,000,000 was apportioned to USAID to support an
    ambitious recovery plan, including the construction of a power
    plant to provide electricity for the new Caracol Industrial Park
    (CIP) in northern Haiti, a new port near the CIP, and permanent
    housing in new settlements in the Port-au-Prince, St-Marc, and Cap-
    Haitien areas.
        (10) According to a recent report of the Government
    Accountability Office, as of June 30, 2013, USAID had disbursed 31
    percent of its reconstruction funds in Haiti, the port project was
    2 years behind schedule and USAID funding will be insufficient to
    cover a majority of the projected costs, the housing project has
    been reduced by 80 percent, and the sustainability of the power
    plant, the port, and the housing projects were all at risk.
        (11) GAO further found that Congress has not been provided with
    sufficient information to ensure that it is able to conduct
    effective oversight at a time when most funding remains to be
    disbursed, and specifically recommends that a periodic reporting
    mechanism be instituted to fill this information gap.
        (12) Donors have encountered significant challenges in
    implementing recovery programs, and nearly 4 years after the
    earthquake, an estimated 171,974 people remain displaced in camps,
    unemployment remains high, corruption is rampant, land rights
    remain elusive, allegations of wage violations are widespread, the
    business climate is unfavorable, and government capacity remains
    weak.
        (13) For Haiti to achieve stability and long term economic
    growth, donor assistance will have to be carefully coordinated with
    a commitment by the Government of Haiti to transparency, a market
    economy, rule of law, and democracy.
        (14) The legal environment in Haiti remains a challenge to
    achieving the goals supported by the international community.
SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.
    It is the policy of the United States to support the sustainable
rebuilding and development of Haiti in a manner that--
        (1) promotes efforts that are led by and support the people and
    Government of Haiti at all levels so that Haitians lead the course

    shall be struck only at the United States Mint at West Point, New
    York.
        ``(8) Marketing study defined.--The market study described in
    paragraph (1) means an analysis of the market for palladium bullion
    investments conducted by a reputable, independent third party that
    demonstrates that there would be adequate demand for palladium
    bullion coins produced by the United States Mint to ensure that
    such coins could be minted and issued at no net cost to
    taxpayers.''.
