SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Prehistoric Trackways National
Monument Establishment Act''.

SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) Monument.--The term ``Monument'' means the Prehistoric
        Trackways National Monument established by section 4(a).
            (2) Public land.--The term ``public land'' has the meaning
        given the term ``public lands'' in section 103 of the Federal
        Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1702).
            (3) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary
        of the Interior.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) in 1987, a major deposit of Paleozoic Era fossilized
        footprint megatrackways was discovered in the Robledo Mountains
        in southern New Mexico;
            (2) the trackways contain footprints of numerous
        amphibians, reptiles, and insects (including previously unknown
        species), plants, and petrified wood dating back approximately
        280,000,000 years, which collectively provide new opportunities
        to understand animal behaviors and environments from a time
        predating the dinosaurs;
            (3) title III of Public Law 101-578 (104 Stat. 2860)--
                    (A) provided interim protection for the site at
                which the trackways were discovered; and
                    (B) directed the Secretary of the Interior to--
                            (i) prepare a study assessing the
                        significance of the site; and
                            (ii) based on the study, provide
                        recommendations for protection of the
                        paleontological resources at the site;
            (4) the Bureau of Land Management completed the Paleozoic
        Trackways Scientific Study Report in 1994, which characterized
        the site as containing ``the most scientifically significant
        Early Permian tracksites'' in the world;
            (5) despite the conclusion of the study and the
        recommendations for protection, the site remains unprotected
        and many irreplaceable trackways specimens have been lost to
        vandalism or theft; and
            (6) designation of the trackways site as a National
        Monument would protect the unique fossil resources for present
        and future generations while allowing for public education and
        continued scientific research opportunities.

SEC. 4. ESTABLISHMENT.

    (a) In General.--In order to conserve, protect, and enhance the
unique and nationally important paleontological, scientific,
educational, scenic, and recreational resources and values of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Student Breakfast and Education
Improvement Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) approximately 60 percent of students in the United
        States are eligible to receive free or reduced-price school
        lunches under the school lunch program established under the
        Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et
        seq.);
            (2) in fiscal year 2008, 8,520,000 students in the United
        States consumed free or reduced-price school breakfasts
        provided under the school breakfast program established by
        section 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1773);
            (3) as of the date of enactment of this Act, approximately
        83 percent of all public schools in the United States provide
        9,500,000 school breakfasts each year under the program
        established by section 4 of that Act (42 U.S.C. 1773) to at
        least 130,000 students;
            (4) less than \1/2\ of the low-income students who
        participate in the school lunch program also participate in the
        school breakfast program;
            (5) many students who are eligible for reduced-price
        breakfasts and lunches can afford only 1 of those meals per
        day;
            (6) almost 17,000 schools that participate in the school
        lunch program do not participate in the school breakfast
        program;
            (7) as of August 2008, over 13,000,000 children, or 18
        percent of all children, in the United States were living in
        poverty, and, in 2007, and 11 percent of households in the
        United States were food insecure;
            (8) missing breakfast and the resulting hunger has been
        shown to lower the ability of children to learn and hinder
        academic performance;
            (9) Provision 2 as established under subsections (b)
        through (k) of section 245.9 of title 7, Code of Federal
        Regulations (or successor regulations), reduces application and
        administrative burdens for schools that provide universal free
        meals;
            (10) schools electing to implement school breakfast
        programs face significant hurdles, such as start-up costs and
        lack of participation, that require various additional
        resources for the best solution;
            (11) school districts that are participating in the
        Provision 2 option described in paragraph (9) have found that
        the school districts can often provide universal free breakfast
        in schools with as little as 60 to 75 percent of students who
        are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals due to the
        savings realized from reduced administrative costs and improved
        economies of scale;
            (12) studies suggest that eating breakfast closer to class
        and test-taking time improves student performance on
        standardized tests relative to students who skip breakfast or
        have breakfast at home;
            (13) studies show that children experiencing hunger are
        more likely to be hyperactive, absent, tardy, or have
        behavioral or attention problems;
            (14) students who eat a complete breakfast have been shown
        to make fewer mistakes and work faster in math exercises than
        those who eat a partial breakfast;
            (15) eating school breakfast has been shown to improve math
        grades, attendance, and punctuality;
            (16) providing breakfast in the classroom has been shown in
        several instances to improve attentiveness and academic
        performance, while reducing tardiness and disciplinary
        referrals;
            (17) providing universal free breakfast, especially in the
        classroom, has been shown to significantly increase school
        breakfast participation rates and decrease absences and
        tardiness;
            (18) studies suggest that children who eat breakfast have
        more adequate nutrition and intake of nutrients, such as
        calcium, fiber, protein, and vitamins A, E, D, and B6;
            (19) studies suggest that some students who participate in
        the school breakfast program or other nutrition programs have a
        lower body mass index and risk of being overweight; and
            (20) use of local produce--
                    (A) reduces dependence on foreign oil by reducing
                fuel consumption rates associated with the production
                or transportation of fruits and vegetables; and
                    (B) can help to improve the ability of individuals
                using the procurement system to provide education on
                nutrition, farming, sustainability, energy efficiency,
                and the importance of local purchases to the local
                economy.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to improve student
learning and the classroom environment through expanded and improved
school breakfast programs, particularly universal programs provided
during the school day.

Output:
Student Breakfast and Education Improvement Act of 2009 - Amends the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to require the Secretary of Agriculture to award competitive grants to state or local educational agencies (LEAs) for the establishment or enhancement of school breakfast programs at, and through the provision of subgrants to, schools where at least 65% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price school lunches under the school lunch program.

Authorizes schools to use the school breakfast subgrants to: (1) increase the quantity of local or fresh food available under their programs; (2) provide nutrition education and first-hand knowledge of food systems to students; (3) extend the period during which breakfast is available, including during the school day; (4) increase participation in their breakfast programs, including through the provision of universal free breakfasts; or (5) collaborate with institutions of higher education or other research entities in compiling data and reports on their breakfast programs.

Gives priority to subgrant applicant schools at least 75% of whose students are eligible for free or reduced-price school lunches and which intend to use the funds to procure local produce, provide universal free breakfasts, or provide breakfast during the school day.

Directs grantees, at least 180 days before the end of a grant term, to evaluate whether it would be cost-effective for subgrantee schools to provide universal free breakfasts under the school breakfast program.

                          findings and purpose

    Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds and declares that--
            (1) Federal regulation of State and local governments has
        become increasingly extensive and intrusive in recent years;
            (2) such regulation has, adversely affected State and local
        governments by placing excessive fiscal burdens on such
        governments;
            (3) such excessive fiscal burdens have weakened the
        foundation of the Federal system of government; and
            (4) there is a lack of adequate fiscal resources to carry
        out necessary Federal regulation of State and local governments
        in order to enable such governments to comply with
        intergovernmental regulations currently in effect.
    (b) Therefore, it is the purpose of this Act to establish
procedures to assure that the Federal Government pays the total amount
of additional direct costs incurred by State and local governments in
complying with any intergovernmental regulation.

        required to expend in carrying out such activity in the absence
        of such law, except that such term does not include any amount
        which a State or local government is required by law to
        contribute as a non-Federal share under a Federal assistance
        program;

        to receive or continue to receive Federal assistance and which
        requires the termination or reduction of such assistance if
        such government fails to comply with such conditions;

            TITLE I--REVIEW OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS

                            report required

    Sec. 101. (a) Not later than thirty days after the date on which
the President transmits a budget for a fiscal year to the Congress
pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, the President
shall submit to the Congress a report specifying and evaluating the
economic costs, noneconomic costs, and additional direct costs which

                regulation in each such fiscal year; and
                    (B) the ratio (stated as a percentage) which the
                total amount of additional direct costs that have been

an intergovernmental regulation in any fiscal year shall be an amount
which bears the same ratio to the total amount for reimbursement of
additional direct costs for all State governments and local governments
described in section 201(a) with respect to such regulation for such

        respect to such regulation for such fiscal year, multiplied by
            (ii) the ratio (stated as a percentage and estimated by the

        amount of additional direct costs incurred by such local
        government in complying with such regulation in such fiscal
        year bears to the total amount of additional direct costs
        incurred by all local governments in such State in complying
        with such regulation in such fiscal year.
    (B) Each State government which receives payments under this
section for any fiscal year shall provide by law for the estimation of
the amount of additional direct costs incurred by each local government
in such State in complying with an intergovernmental regulation for
which such payments are received. In providing for the estimation of
such costs, the State shall establish procedures and methods for the
estimation of such costs which are reasonably related to the actual
additional direct costs incurred by such governments in complying with

              COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.

    (a) Authority.--To the extent or in such amounts as are provided in
appropriation Acts, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (in
this section referred to as the ``Secretary'') may, subject to the
limitations of this section and upon such terms and conditions as the
Secretary may prescribe, guarantee and make commitments to guarantee,
the notes and obligations issued by Indian tribes or tribally
designated housing entities (as such term is defined in section 4 of
the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of
1996 (25 U.S.C. 4103)) with tribal approval, for the purposes of
financing activities, carried out on Indian reservations and in other
Indian areas, that under the first sentence of section 108(a) of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 are eligible for
financing with notes and other obligations guaranteed pursuant to such
section 108.
    (b) Low-Income Benefit Requirement.--Not less than 70 percent of
the aggregate funds received by an Indian tribe or tribally designated
housing entity as a result of a guarantee under this section shall be
used for the support of activities that benefit low-income Indian
families (as such term is defined for purposes of the Native American
Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996) on Indian
reservations and other Indian areas.
    (c) Financial Soundness.--The Secretary shall establish
underwriting criteria for guarantees under this section, including fees
for such guarantees, as may be necessary to ensure that the program

for such program, as determined based upon risk to the Federal
Government under such underwriting requirements.
    (d) Terms of Obligations.--Notes or other obligations guaranteed
pursuant to this section 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

        Secretary shall require the Indian tribe or housing entity
        issuing such notes or obligations to--
                    (A) enter into a contract, in a form acceptable to
                the Secretary, for repayment of notes or other
                obligations guaranteed under this section;
                    (B) demonstrate that the extent of such issuance
                and guarantee under this section is within the

                    (C) furnish, at the discretion of the Secretary,
                such security as may be deemed appropriate by the
                Secretary in making such guarantees, including

                activities assisted by a guarantee under this section
                or disposition proceeds from the sale of land or
                rehabilitated property, except that such security may
                not include any grant amounts received or for which the

        made under this section. 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.

Indian tribes and tribally designated housing entities, shall carry out
training and information activities with respect to the guarantee
program under this section.
