Eliminates adjustments of appropriations designated as emergency requirements under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

Amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to define "emergency" as an unanticipated situation that requires new budget authority and outlays (or new budget authority and the outlays flowing therefrom) for the prevention or mitigation of, or response to, loss of life or property, or a threat to national security.

Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to set forth requirements with respect to: (1) the President's budget request for reserve funds for emergencies; (2) treatment of emergency legislation to fund both nonmilitary emergencies and certain military operations; and (3) committee notification of any emergency legislation.

Prohibits floor amendments to amendments reported by the Committee on the Budget (or from the consideration of which the Committee has been discharged) with respect to legislation for emergency reserve funds for certain military operations.

        including its main stem and east and west branches for
        potential inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers

        Management Plan, June 2011, that establishes objectives,
        standards, and action programs that will ensure the long-term
        protection of the outstanding values of the river segments
        without Federal management of affected lands not owned by the
        United States;
            (4) the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook Wild and
        Scenic Study Committee has voted in favor of Wild and Scenic
        River designation for the river segments, and has included this
        recommendation as an integral part of the management plan;
            (5) there is strong local support for the protection of the
        Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook, including votes of
        support for Wild and Scenic designation from the governing
        bodies of all ten communities abutting the study area;
            (6) the State of Connecticut General Assembly has endorsed
        the designation of the Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook

            (7) the Rainbow Dam and Reservoir are located entirely
        outside of the river segment designated by section 3 of this
        Act, and, based on the findings of the study of the Lower
        Farmington River pursuant to Public Law 109-370, operation of
        this hydroelectric project (including associated transmission
        lines and other project works) is compatible with the
        designation made by section 3 of this Act.

                  TITLE III--LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING

SEC. 301. SMALL TOWN AND RURAL TRAINING PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--There is established a Rural Policing Institute,
which shall be administered by the National Center for State and Local
Law Enforcement Training of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
(FLETC) as part of the Small Town and Rural Training (STAR) Program

        Metropolitan Statistical Area; and
            (3) conduct outreach efforts to ensure that training
        programs under the Rural Policing Institute reach law
        enforcement officers in units of local government and tribal
        governments located outside a Standard Metropolitan Statistical

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Prosthetic Limb Access Act of
1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) over 10,000,000 people in the world are amputees, and
        each year more than 250,000 people become amputees;
            (2) thousands of citizens of the United States depend on
        the availability of prosthetic devices in order to function
        fully in contemporary society;
            (3) a sizable number of amputees are unable to afford
        adequate prosthetic care;
            (4) used prosthetic devices could be recycled for reuse by
        amputees in the United States, but, because of the potential
        liability of providers of those prosthetic devices, the
        prosthetic devices are shipped to Third World countries;
            (5) making recycled prosthetic devices available to
        economically disadvantaged amputees would enable those amputees
        to live more comfortably and function fully;
            (6) nonprofit organizations would be uniquely suited to
        provided recycled prosthetic devices to amputees, if they could
        be enabled to do so in a cost-efficient manner;
            (7) in order to enable nonprofit organizations to provide
        recycled prosthetic devices to amputees in a cost-efficient
        manner, immediate action is needed to--
                    (A) limit the liability of nonprofit organizations
                in serving as providers of recycled prosthetic devices;
                and
                    (B) minimize the cost of litigation against those
                providers by establishing expeditious procedures to
                dispose of unwarranted actions.

        nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector.
            (2) Access to current, accurate, uniform, and standards-
        based geospatial information, tools, and training to
        characterize the United States coastal region is critical for
        public safety and for the environment, infrastructure, and
        economy of the United States.
            (3) More than half of all people of the United States
        (153,000,000) currently live on or near a coast and an
        additional 12,000,000 are expected in the next decade.

        persons per square mile, compared with the national average of
        98.
            (5) On a typical day, more than 1,540 permits for
        construction of single-family homes are issued in coastal
        counties, combined with other commercial, retail, and
        institutional construction to support this population.
            (6) Over half of the economic productivity of the United
        States is located within coastal regions.
            (7) Highly accurate, high-resolution remote sensing and
        other geospatial data play an increasingly important role in
        decision making and management of the coastal zone and economy,
        including for--
                    (A) flood and coastal storm surge prediction;

                change;
                    (E) local planning and permitting;
                    (F) habitat and ecosystem health assessments; and

                                 AN ACT

To require the Secretary of Commerce, acting through the Administrator
of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to establish a
 constituent-driven program to provide a digital information platform
 capable of efficiently integrating coastal data with decision-support
   tools, training, and best practices and to support collection of
 priority coastal geospatial data to inform and improve local, State,
regional, and Federal capacities to manage the coastal region, and for
                            other purposes.

Output: . The expanded summary of the Senate reported version is repeated here.)  Digital Coast Act (Sec.4)This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to establish a constituent-driven Digital Coast program. (This program currently exists under NOAA to provide data, tools, and training that communities use to manage their coastal resources.) The program must: (1) provide an online resource that integrates geospatial data, decision-support tools, training, and best practices to address coastal management issues and needs, and to enhance resilient communities, ecosystem values, and coastal economic growth and development; and (2) provide for the documentation, dissemination, and archiving of the data. NOAA must focus on filling data needs and gaps for critical coastal management issues and support continued improvement in existing efforts to coordinate the acquisition and integration of key data sets needed for coastal management, and other purposes. NOAA may: (1) enter into financial agreements and collect fees to carry out the program; (2) enter into contracts with private sector entities as may be necessary to collect, process, and provide remote sensing and other geospatial data and products. Additionally, NOAA may establish publicly available tools that track ocean and Great Lakes economy data for each coastal state.
