SEC. 4. ADDITIONAL REVISIONS TO DEFINITIONS.

    Section 721(a) of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C.
App. 2170(a)) is amended--
            (1) in paragraph (4)--
                    (A) by striking ``by a foreign government'' and
                inserting the following: ``by--
                    ``(A) a foreign government'';
                    (B) by striking the period and inserting ``; or'';
                and
                    (C) by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(B) a person with access, directly or indirectly,
                to below-market loans or other financing from a foreign
                government.''; and
            (2) in paragraph (6)--
                    (A) by striking ``virtual, so vital'' and inserting
                the following: ``virtual--
                    ``(A) so vital'';
                    (B) by striking the period and inserting ``; or'';
                and
                    (C) by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(B) in a critical infrastructure sector, as
                determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security
                pursuant to the Presidential Policy Director titled

                Security and Resilience' (Feb. 12, 2013).''.

Output: Foreign Investment and Economic Security Act of 2017 This bill amends the Defense Production Act of 1950 to provide for: (1) national security reviews of transactions involving the construction of a new facility in the United States by any foreign person (currently, national security reviews are conducted only for certain mergers, acquisitions, or takeovers by or with a foreign person); and (2) net U.S. benefit reviews of new construction, mergers, acquisitions, or takeovers by or with a foreign person.  The bill makes net benefit reviews mandatory for transactions that meet specified Clayton Act requirements.  The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) shall consider a transaction's effect on: (1) employment, resource processing, utilization of parts and services produced in or imported into the United States, and exports; (2) industrial efficiency, technological development, technology transfers, and product innovation; (3) domestic or foreign competition; (4) compatibility with national industrial and economic policies; and (5) public health, safety, and the environment.   In the case of a net benefit determination concerning a foreign government-influenced transaction, the CFIUS must consider:   the governance and commercial orientation of the foreign person engaging in such transaction;  the extent to which the foreign person is owned, controlled, or influenced by the foreign government; and  adherence to U.S. law and corporate governance standards, engagement of the foreign country with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and the likelihood of commercial operation.   The bill prohibits transactions that the President determines are not of net U.S. benefit and bars judicial review of such determinations. The bill also revises the composition of the CFIUS for the purpose of carrying out net benefit determinations.  The term "foreign government-controlled transaction" is revised to include a person with access to below-market loans or other financing from a foreign government.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Park Snowmobile
Restrictions Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) President Nixon in 1972 issued Executive Order 11644
        establishing standards on snowmobile use on public lands,
        including the requirements that snowmobile use in a national
        park be permitted only when the National Park Service
        determines that such use will not adversely affect the park's
        natural, aesthetic, or scenic values, and that the National
        Park Service monitor the impacts of any such use in a national
        park to assure compliance with those standards.
            (2) President Carter in 1977 issued Executive Order 11989
        establishing additional standards on snowmobile use on public
        lands, including the requirements that the National Park
        Service, whenever it determines that any such use is causing
        considerable adverse effects on the natural resources of a
        national park, immediately halt the use or otherwise take steps
        to prevent those effects.
            (3) In compliance with these Executive Orders, the National
        Park Service in 1983 issued regulations (section 2.18 of title
        36, Code of Federal Regulations) providing in part the
        following: ``Snowmobiles are prohibited except where designated
        and only when their use is consistent with the park's natural,
        cultural, scenic and aesthetic values, safety considerations,
        park management objectives, and will not disturb wildlife or
        damage park resources.''.
            (4) Pursuant to these general regulations, the National
        Park Service has issued special regulations designating routes
        on which snowmobiles may travel in 41 units of the National
        Park System.
            (5) A survey the National Park Service conducted in 1999-
        2000 on snowmobile use in units of the National Park System
        revealed that--
                    (A) with respect to most of the units in which
                snowmobile use occurs, the Service had never made a
                determination that such use would be consistent with
                the requirements of Executive Orders 11644 and 11989
                and its own general snowmobile regulations;
                    (B) snowmobile use was occurring in two units for
                which no routes had been designated for such use by
                special regulations, and, in other units, snowmobile
                use was occurring on routes which had not been
                designated for that use by special regulations;
                    (C) in most units in which snowmobile use occurs,
                the Service had not conducted and was not conducting
                the monitoring required by Executive Order 11644 of the
                impacts of that snowmobile use; and
                    (D) snowmobile use in many units was causing
                impacts inconsistent with the standards of Executive
                Orders 11644 and 11989 and the general snowmobile
                regulations.
            (6) In April 2000, to come into compliance with the
        requirements of Executive Orders 11644 and 11989 and the
        general snowmobile regulations, the National Park Service
        announced that it--
                    (A) had determined that, in most instances,
                recreational use of snowmobiles is not an appropriate
                use in units of the National Park System; and
                    (B) was initiating a process to adopt new
                requirements to limit snowmobile use in units of the
                National Park System (other than units in the State of
                Alaska and Voyageurs National Park) to short routes
                providing access to adjacent public lands open to
                recreational snowmobile use and to routes providing
                necessary access to private property within or adjacent
                to such units.
            (7) In November 2000, based on a final environmental impact
        statement on a winter use plan for Yellowstone National Park,
        Grand Teton National Park, and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
        Memorial Parkway and on other studies and information, the
        National Park Service adopted a record of decision determining
        that the snowmobile use occurring in those parks is causing
        impacts that are inconsistent with--
                    (A) Executive Orders 11644 and 11989 and the
                general snowmobile regulations;
                    (B) the requirements of the Clean Air Act (42
                U.S.C. 7401 et seq.); and
                    (C) the requirement of the first section of the Act
                of August 25, 1916 (16 U.S.C. 1; commonly known as the
                National Park Service Organic Act) that the Service
                manage units of the National Park System ``in such
                manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired
                for the enjoyment of future generations''.
            (8) In January 2001, to implement the record of decision
        referred to in paragraph (7), the National Park Service adopted
        final regulations amending part 7 of title 36, Code of Federal
        Regulations, to phase out by the winter of 2003-2004 all
        snowmobile use in Yellowstone National Park and the John D.
        Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway and most snowmobile use in
        Grand Teton National Park, as published in the Federal Register
on January 22, 2001 (66 Fed. Reg. 7260).
            (9) The new regulations referred to in paragraph (8) or
        other regulations under consideration by the National Park
        Service to restrict snowmobile use in units of the National
        Park System do not apply to other Federal lands, where the
        overwhelming majority of the snowmobile use occurring on
        Federal lands takes place and will be able to continue to take
        place.

park, the Secretary shall ensure that the impacts of that use are
monitored to assure that it is consistent with the standards specified

                                                 JEFF TRANDAHL,

                                                                 Clerk.

Output:
Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research Amendments Act of 2004 - (Sec. 2) Amends the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act of 1998 (HABHRCA) to repeal the President's authority to disestablish the Interagency Task Force (thus retaining the Task Force).

(Sec. 3) Directs the Task Force to complete by specified deadlines, and submit to Congress, scientific assessments of: (1) harmful algal blooms (HABs) (first on marine HABs and subsequently on both marine and freshwater HABs, including those in the Great Lakes and upper reaches of estuaries); (2) current knowledge of freshwater HABs and coordination of related Federal research; and (3) hypoxia in U.S. coastal waters, including the Great Lakes. Directs the Task Force to develop, and submit to Congress, a plan for a comprehensive and coordinated national research program to develop and demonstrate prevention, control, and mitigation methods to reduce the impacts of HABs on coastal ecosystems (including the Great Lakes), public health, and the economy. Requires such plan to include to the maximum extent practicable diverse institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities and those serving large proportions of Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, and other underrepresented populations. Directs the Secretary of Commerce to: (1) establish a research, development, demonstration, and technology transfer program that meets the priorities and guidelines established under the Task Force's research plan; (2) ensure that research program results are communicated to State, Indian tribe, and local governments, and to the general public; and (3) do so in conjunction with other appropriate Federal agencies. Requires the Task Force to work with the appropriate State, Indian tribe, and local governments to ensure that the assessments and research plan fulfill requirements of this Act. Requires the Secretary to provide for local and regional scientific assessments of hypoxia or HABs. Directs the Secretary to do so in coordination with the Task Force and appropriate State, Indian tribe, and local governments and at the request of such governments. (Sec. 4) Authorizes appropriations for FY 2005 through 2007 to the Secretary for research, education, monitoring, demonstration, and technology transfer activities related to the prevention, reduction, and control of HABs and hypoxia. Requires that specified amounts of such funds be used for: (1) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research and assessment activities, including procurement of necessary research equipment, at research laboratories of the National Ocean Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service; (2) the Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB) project, with a specified portion for research on freshwater HABs; (3) the HABHRCA national research program to develop methods to reduce impacts of HABs; (4) the Monitoring and Event Response for HABs (MERHAB) project; (5) activities related to research and monitoring on hypoxia; and (6) the HABHRCA local and regional scientific assessments of hypoxia or HABs.
