SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Sportsmen's Bill of Rights Act of
1997''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) fishing is an important and traditional recreational
        activity in which 36,000,000 Americans 16 years old and older
        participate;
            (2) hunting is an important and traditional recreational
        activity in which 14,000,000 Americans 16 years old and older
        participate;
            (3) survey data from a recent comprehensive 3-year study
        entitled ``Factors Related to Hunting and Fishing Participation
        in the United States'' suggest that 95 percent of Americans
        approve of fishing and 81 percent of Americans approve of
        hunting;
            (4) anglers and hunters have been and continue to be among
        the foremost supporters of sound wildlife management and
        conservation practices in the United States;
            (5) persons who hunt or fish and organizations related to
        those activities provide direct assistance and support to
        wildlife managers and enforcement officers of Federal, State,
        and local governments;
            (6) funds raised through license, permit, and stamp
        purchases as well as through excise taxes on goods used by
        anglers and hunters have generated more than $6,000,000,000 for
        wildlife research and management;
            (7) fishing and hunting are essential components of
        effective wildlife management in that they tend to reduce
        conflicts between people and wildlife and provide incentives
        for the conservation of wildlife and the habitats and
        ecosystems on which wildlife depends; and
            (8) each State--
                    (A) has established 1 or more agencies staffed by
                professionally trained fish and wildlife management
                personnel;
                    (B) has legal authority to manage the fish and
                wildlife found within the State; and
                    (C) carries out sound programs of fish and wildlife
                management.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that, in
performing duties under Federal law, each Federal agency that has
authority to manage a natural resource, or the land and water on which
a natural resource depends, shall exercise the authority in a manner so
as to support, promote, and enhance fishing and hunting and
opportunities for fishing and hunting.

SEC. 3. TAKING OF FISH AND WILDLIFE ON FEDERAL PUBLIC LANDS.

    (a) In General.--Federal public land shall be open to access and
use for fishing and hunting of wildlife, unless--
            (1) the responsible agency of the State in which the
        Federal public land is located limits access to and use of the
        land as part of wildlife management by the State; or
            (2) the Federal agency responsible for the Federal public
        land limits access and use--
                    (A) for reasons of national security; or
                    (B) for reasons related to specific statutory
                requirements regarding the management and use of the
                Federal public land, including public safety.
    (b) Certain Lands Administered by the National Park Service.--
Nothing in this section compels the opening to access and use for
fishing and hunting of wildlife of any national park or monument
administered by the National Park Service.
    (c) No Priority.--This section does not require a Federal agency to
give preference to fishing or hunting over other uses of Federal public
land or land management priorities established by Federal law.

SEC. 4. PROTECTION OF THE INTEGRITY OF SPORTSMEN'S TRUST ACCOUNTS.

    (a) Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act.--The Act entitled ``An

Act'') (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.), is amended--
            (1) by striking ``Secretary of Agriculture'' each place it
        appears and inserting ``Secretary of the Interior''; and

        following:
    ``(c) Use of Funds.--The amount of funding made available to the
Secretary of the Interior for expenses under this section shall not be
available to replace funding that is--
            ``(1) authorized for any other expense under the
        jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior; and
            ``(2) decreased under any other provision of law.''.
    (b) Federal Aid in Fish Restoration Act.--Section 4 of the Act
entitled ``An Act to provide that the United States shall aid the
States in fish restoration and management projects, and for other
purposes'', approved August 9, 1950 (commonly known as the ``Federal
Aid in Fish Restoration Act'') (16 U.S.C. 777c), is amended by adding
at the end the following:
    ``(f) Use of Funds.--The amount of funding made available to the
Secretary of the Interior for expenses under this section shall not be
available to replace funding that is--

            ``(2) decreased under any other provision of law.''.

SEC. 5. EVALUATION OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT EFFECTS.

    (a) Statement.--No Federal agency action that may significantly
diminish opportunities for, or access to, engaging in fishing or
hunting on Federal public land shall be effective until the agency
prepares a detailed statement evaluating the effect of the action on
fishing or hunting.
    (b) Notice and Hearing.--Before taking an action described in
subsection (a), a Federal agency shall--
            (1) provide notice of the proposed agency action to the
        appropriate State agency responsible for the conduct or
        oversight of fish and wildlife management; and
            (2) conduct a public hearing in the vicinity of the
        proposed action.
    (c) Judicial Review.--A person that may be adversely affected by a
loss of fishing or hunting opportunities on Federal public land as a
result of an agency action described in subsection (a) may bring a
civil action in United States district court for review of the adequacy
of the statement required by subsection (a).
    (d) Emergencies.--Nothing in this section precludes an agency from
exercising statutory authority to close to access and use for fishing
and hunting of wildlife any Federal public land in an emergency or
other exigent circumstance.
    (e) Effect on Other Law.--Nothing in this section affects or has
application to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.) or
the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et
seq.).

SEC. 6. CIVIL ACTIONS.

    (a) Intervention.--A person interested in engaging in fishing or
hunting shall be entitled to intervene as a matter of right in a civil
action, brought under any other Federal law relating to the use of any
Federal public land, in which the plaintiff seeks an order that would
require the use (or nonuse) of the land in such a manner as to impair
such access to or use of the land for the purpose of fishing or hunting
as is required by this Act.
    (b) Consideration of Interests.--If an intervenor under subsection
(a) shows that the application of another Federal law as sought by the
plaintiff would be likely to impair such access to or use of the land
for the purpose of fishing or hunting as is required by this Act, the
court shall not grant the relief sought unless the plaintiff shows that
the interest intended to be advanced by the other Federal law clearly
outweighs the interest of protecting access to and use of Federal
public land for fishing and hunting.

SEC. 7. STANDING TO BRING A CIVIL ACTION.

    An individual who is licensed by a State to engage in fishing or
hunting, or an organization representing the interests of such
individuals, may bring a civil action in United States district court
to seek declaratory or injunctive relief regarding the implementation
of any provision of this Act, including--
            (1) a declaration that a civil action brought by a person
        may significantly disrupt or eliminate opportunities for
        fishing or hunting; and
            (2) an injunction against the prosecution of the civil
        action.

SEC. 8. AUTHORITY OF THE STATES.

    (a) In General.--Nothing in this Act impairs the primacy of State
authority in regulating the taking of fish and wildlife on land within
the State, including Federal public land.
    (b) Federal Authority.--Except as expressly provided by Act of
Congress, the authority of a Federal agency regarding the taking of
fish and wildlife on Federal public land managed by the Federal agency
shall be no greater than the rights of a private owner of land.

Output:
Sportsmen's Bill of Rights Act of 1997- Requires Federal public land to be open to access and for use for fishing and hunting if:  (1) the responsible State agency in which Federal public land is located limits access to and use of the land as part of wildlife management by the State; or (2) the Federal agency responsible for Federal public land limits access and use for national security or for reasons related to specific statutory requirements regarding the management and use of the land, including public safety.
Amends the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act to authorize the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to cooperate with the Secretary of the Interior of Puerto Rico (currently, Secretary of Agriculture of Puerto Rico) in the conduct of wildlife-restoration projects.  Prohibits the amount of funding made available to the Secretary for expenses in the administration and execution of wildlife-restoration projects and the Migratory Bird Conservation Act from being made available to replace funding that is:  (1) authorized for any other expense under the Secretary's jurisdiction; and (2) decreased under any other provision of law.
Amends the Federal Aid in Fish Restoration Act to prohibit the amount of funding made available to the Secretary for fish restoration and management projects from being used to replace funding that is authorized and decreased as above.
Prohibits a Federal agency's action that may significantly diminish opportunities or access to engage in fishing or hunting on Federal public land from being effective until the agency prepares a detailed statement evaluating the effect of such action.  Provides for judicial review of such action.
Entitles a person interested in fishing or hunting to intervene as a matter of right in a civil action brought under any other Federal law relating to the use of Federal public land, under specified conditions. Bars the court from granting the relief sought unless the plaintiff shows that the interest intended to be advanced by the other Federal law clearly outweighs the interest of protecting access to, and use of, Federal public land for fishing and hunting.
Allows an individual licensed by a State to fish or hunt or an organization representing such individual's interests to bring a civil action in a U.S. district court to seek declaratory or injunctive relief regarding the implementation of this Act, including a declaration that a civil action brought by a person may significantly disrupt or eliminate opportunities for fishing or hunting and an injunction against the prosecution of the civil action.
Reaffirms the primacy of State authority in regulating the taking of fish and wildlife on such State's land, including Federal public land, stating that a Federal agency's taking authority in such regard shall be no greater than that of a private landowner.

                            (ii) by striking ``currency or other
                        monetary instrument'' the second place it
                        appears and inserting ``currency, other
                        monetary instrument, or tangible mechanism'';
                        and
                            (iii) by inserting ``(including the funds
                        or value of funds accessible by such tangible
                        mechanism at the time of the offense)'' after
                        ``facilitate the offense''; and
            (6) in the table of sections--
                    (A) by striking the items relating to sections 5316
                and 5317 and inserting the following:

``5316. Reports on exporting and importing monetary instruments and
                            access devices.

``5317. Search and forfeiture of monetary instruments and access
                            devices.'';
                and
                    (B) by striking the item relating to section 5332
                and inserting the following:

``5332. Smuggling of cash, monetary instruments, and means of access to
                            funds or the value of funds into or out of
                            the United States.''.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``North Korea State Sponsor of
Terrorism Designation Act of 2016''.

SEC. 2. REPORT ON DESIGNATION OF NORTH KOREA AS A STATE SPONSOR OF
              TERRORISM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Government of North Korea has harbored members of
        the Japanese Red Army since a 1970 hijacking and continues to
        harbor the surviving hijackers to this day.
            (2) North Korea bombed Korean Airlines Flight 858 in
        November 1987, killing 115 people, and carried out the Rangoon
        bombing of 1983, killing 21 people, including 13 senior South
        Korean officials and two members of the Presidential Guard.
            (3) In 2005, a North Korean agent, Ryu Young-Hwa, was
        convicted in a South Korean court and sentenced to 10 years in
        prison for his involvement in the kidnapping of the Reverend
        Kim Dong-shik, a lawful permanent resident of the United
        States, in 2000. In 2005, then-Senator Barack Obama was among
        20 members of the Illinois congressional delegation stating
        that they would not support the removal of North Korea from the
        list of state sponsors of terrorism until it provided a full
        accounting of Rev. Kim's fate.
            (4) Of the three states currently on the list of State
        Sponsors of Terrorism, both Iran and Syria are designated as
        State Sponsors of Terrorism for their support of Hamas and
        Hezbollah. The Department of State's 2005, 2007, 2010, 2012,
        and 2013 ``Country Reports'' all cited Iran and Syria for
        supplying weapons to Hezbollah through Syrian territory, and
        most of them also cited Iran's training of Hezbollah.
            (5) In October 2008, a South Korean court convicted Won
        Jeong-hwa, a North Korean agent, for attempting to assassinate
        a South Korean military officer in Hong Kong, and sentenced her
        to 5 years in prison.
            (6) In December 2009, a North Korean arms shipment aboard
        an Ilyushin Il-76 cargo plane was discovered and seized by
        authorities of the Government of Thailand. The cargo, which was
        marked as consisting of oil-drilling equipment, contained 35
        tons of rockets, surface-to-air missiles (MANPADS), explosives,
        rocket-propelled grenades, and other weaponry. A similar
        shipment was impounded in the United Arab Emirates a few months
        earlier in July 2009. A third shipment was intercepted by the
        Israeli government in the Eastern Mediterranean in November
        2009. According to published media reports, United States and
        Israeli intelligence agencies concluded that the shipments were
        destined for Iranian-backed terrorists, including Hezbollah,
        Hamas, and the Quds Force. Another large quantity of shipments
        to both Hamas and Hezbollah, is believed to have been
        transferred unnoticed.
            (7) In June of 2010, Major Kim Myong-ho and Major Dong
        Myong-gwan of North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau pled
        guilty in a South Korean court to attempting to assassinate
        Hwang Jang-yop, a North Korean dissident in exile, on the
        orders of Lieutenant General Kim Yong-chol, the head of North
        Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau. The court sentenced each
        defendant to 10 years in prison.
            (8) On July 16, 2010, in the case of Calderon-Cardona v.
        Democratic People's Republic of Korea (case number 08-01367),
        the United States District Court for the District of Puerto
        Rico found that the Government of North Korea provided material
        support to the Japanese Red Army, designated as a Foreign
        Terrorist Organization between 1997 and 2001, in furtherance of
        a 1972 terrorist attack at Lod Airport, Israel that killed 26
        people, including 17 Americans.
            (9) On November 23, 2010, North Korea shelled South Korea's
        Yeonpyeong Island with at least 50 artillery shells, killing 4,
        including two civilians, and injuring 22 others.
            (10) In November 2012, a South Korean court sentenced An
        Hak-young, a North Korean agent, to 4 years in prison for
        attempting to assassinate Park Sang-hak, a North Korean
        dissident in exile.
            (11) In December 2012, according to South Korean press
        reports, South Korean prosecutors determined that North Korean
        agents assassinated Kim Chang-hwan, a human rights activist
        helping North Korean refugees, in Dandong, China in August
        2011, using a poisoned needle.
            (12) According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, a
        North Korean agent was suspected in an attempt to assassinate
        another human rights activist with a poisoned needle in Yanji,
        China, the following day.
            (13) North Korea has committed violent acts directly
        against its own citizens abroad. In 2013, news reports
        highlighted an attempt to kidnap a North Korean student in
        Paris.
            (14) On April 18, 2013, Michael Flynn, the Director of the
        Defense Intelligence Agency testified that Syria's liquid-
        propellant missile program depends on essential foreign
        equipment and assistance, primarily from North Korean entities.
        Further statements by United States Government officials report
        that North Korea helped Syria build the Al Kibar nuclear
        reactor, which Israel destroyed in 2007, and could have been
        used to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons.
            (15) In the case of Chaim Kaplan v. Hezbollah (case number
        09-646), a United States district court found in 2014 that
        North Korea materially supported terrorist attacks by
        Hezbollah, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, against
        Israel in 2006.
            (16) In July 2014, press reports indicated that militants
        from Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization,
        attempted to negotiate a new arms deal with North Korea for
        missiles and communications equipment that would have allowed
        the militants to maintain their armed terrorist attacks against
        Israel. Security officials announced that the deal between
        Hamas and North Korea was worth hundreds of thousands of
        dollars and was handled by a Lebanese-based trading company.
            (17) On November 24, 2014, a hacker group that identified
        itself as the ``Guardians of Peace'' leaked confidential data
        from the film studio Sony Pictures Entertainment. The data
        included personal information about Sony Pictures employees, e-
        mails between employees, information about executive salaries
        at the company, copies of then-unreleased Sony films, and other
        information.
            (18) On December 16, 2015, the ``Guardians of Peace'' sent
        a message to Sony Pictures, to ``clearly show it to you at the
        very time and places `The Interview' be shown . . . how bitter
        fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to''. The
        message further stated, ``The world will be full of fear'',
        ``[. . .] Remember the 11th of September 2001'', and ``We
        recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that
        time.''. The threat caused theaters across the United States to
        cancel showings of ``The Interview'' and caused Sony Pictures
        to cancel the release of the film in theaters.
            (19) On December 19, 2015, the Federal Bureau of
        Investigation concluded that North Korea was responsible for
        the cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment and the threat
        against the movie theaters, and that the ``Guardians of Peace''
        was a unit of North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau, its
        foreign intelligence service.
            (20) In March 2015, the South Korean government publicly
        accused North Korea of responsibility for a December 2014 cyber
        attack against multiple nuclear power plants in South Korea,
        stated that the attacks were intended to cause a malfunction at
        the plants' reactors, and described the attacks as acts of
        ``cyber-terror targeting our country''.
            (21) On April 13, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the
        District of Columbia, in the matter of Kim v. Democratic
        People's Republic of Korea (case number 13-7147), awarded Rev.
        Kim's family $330,000,000 in compensatory and punitive damages
        against the Government of North Korea for the kidnapping,
        torture, and murder of Rev. Kim.
            (22) On May 17, 2015, prosecutors in Seoul announced the
        arrest and indictment of three South Koreans for conspiring to
        murder Hwang Jang-yop and other North Korean dissidents in
        exile, at the behest of the Government of North Korea.
            (23) On October 22, 2015, Ambassador Sung Kim, Special
        Representative for North Korea Policy with the U.S. Department
        of State, testified before the House Foreign Affairs
        Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade that
        North Korea's ``conduct poses a growing threat to the United
        States, our friends in the region, and the global
        nonproliferation regime'' and Ms. Hilary Batjer Johnson, Deputy
        Coordinator for Homeland Security, Screening, and Designations
        with the U.S. Department of State noted that ``weapons
        transfers that violate nonproliferation or missile control
        regimes could be a relevant factor for consideration, depending
        on the circumstances, consistent with the statutory criteria
        for designation as a state sponsor of terrorism''.
            (24) North Korea was designated a State Sponsor of
        Terrorism on January 20, 1988, for repeatedly providing support
        of acts of international terrorism.
            (25) However, on October 11, 2008, North Korea's
        designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism was rescinded,
        following commitments by the Government of North Korea to
        completely, verifiably, and irreversibly dismantle its nuclear
        weapons program.
            (26) Consequences of a State Sponsors of Terrorism
        designation include a ban on arms-related exports and sales;
        restrictions on exports of dual-use items; restrictions on
        foreign assistance; financial sanctions against transactions
        with the designated government; imposition of miscellaneous
        trade and other restrictions; and potential liability in United
        States courts for acts that fall within the terrorism exception
        of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. The Criminal Code also
        prohibits financial transactions by United States persons with
        the governments of State Sponsors of Terrorism listed states.
        Issuers of securities must disclose in their public filings any
        investments in states whose governments sponsor terrorism.
        Finally, a designation requires United States representatives
        to oppose any benefits or extensions of credit to the listed
        states by international financial institutions.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that North
Korea meets the criteria for designation as a state sponsor of
terrorism and should be so designated.
    (c) Report; Determination or Justification.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of
        the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the
        appropriate congressional committees a report that finds, with
        respect to each of the acts described in paragraphs (1) to (23)
        of subsection (a), whether--
                    (A) the Government of North Korea, including any
                agents or instrumentalities of the Government of North
                Korea, directly or indirectly, committed, conspired to
                commit, attempted, aided, or abetted such act; and
                    (B) such act constitutes support for international
                terrorism.
            (2) Determination or justification.--If the Secretary finds
        that the Government of North Korea, including any agents or
        instrumentalities of the Government of North Korea, directly or
        indirectly, committed, conspired to commit, attempted, aided,
        or abetted any of the acts described in paragraphs (1) to (22)
        of subsection (a), and that any such act constitutes support
        for international terrorism, the Secretary of State shall also
        submit to the appropriate congressional committees--
                    (A) a determination that North Korea is a state
                sponsor of terrorism; or
                    (B) a detailed justification as to why the conduct
                described in the report required under paragraph (1)
                does not meet the legal criteria for such a
                determination.

        also be included in the first annual report required to be

        Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 (22 U.S.C. 2656f)
        on or after the date of the enactment of this Act.
    (d) Form.--The report required by subsection (c)(1) shall be
submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex, if
appropriate.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1996''.

   TITLE I--REPEAL OF THE PUBLIC UTILITY HOLDING COMPANY ACT OF 1935

SEC. 101. PURPOSE.

    (a) The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 was intended to
facilitate the work of State and Federal regulators by placing certain
constraints on the activities of holding company systems. Developments
since 1935, including changes in other regulation and in the industry
itself, have called into question the continued relevance of the model
of regulation established by the statute.
    (b) There is, however, a continuing need for limited Federal
regulation in this area to ensure the rate protection of utility
consumers. The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1996 is intended
to eliminate unnecessary regulation, yet still provide for consumer
protection by providing for State commission access to books and

Output: Soil Health and Income Protection Program Act of 2017 or the SHIPP Act of 2017  This bill amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to establish a voluntary soil health and income protection program.  Landowners and operators may enroll eligible land in the program by agreeing to adopt certain practices to conserve and improve the soil, water, and wildlife resources of the land for a period of three to five years in exchange for rental payments and additional crop insurance premium discounts.  During the period of the agreement:   the lowest practicable cost perennial conserving use cover crop must be planted on the enrolled land at the expense of the enrollee;   the land may be harvested for seed, hayed, or grazed outside the nesting and brood-rearing period, but may not be insured and is subject to a 25% reduction in rental payments if the land is harvested for seed;   the land may be eligible for a walk-in access program of the applicable state; and  a nonprofit wildlife organization may provide to the owner or operator of the eligible land a payment in exchange for an agreement by the owner or operator not to harvest the conserving use cover.   Beginning, small, socially disadvantaged, young, or veteran farmers and ranchers are only required to pay 50% of the cost of planting the conserving using cover crop and are eligible for increased payments and crop insurance premium discounts under the program. A maximum of 15% of the eligible land on a farm may be enrolled in the program.
