2017'' or the ``FUTURE of Artificial Intelligence Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) understanding and preparing for the ongoing development
        of artificial intelligence is critical to the economic
        prosperity and social stability of the United States;
            (2) as artificial intelligence evolves, it can greatly
        benefit society by powering the information economy, fostering
        better informed decisions and helping unlock answers to
        questions that, as of the date of the enactment of this Act,
        are unanswerable;
            (3) for the reasons set forth in paragraph (2) it's
        beneficial to better understand artificial intelligence and
        foster the development of artificial intelligence in a manner
        that maximizes its benefit to society; and
            (4) it is critical that the priorities of the advisory
        committee established under section 4(a)(1) include developing
        guidance or recommendations--
                    (A) to promote a climate of investment and
                innovation to ensure the global competitiveness of the
                United States;

SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

    (a) In General.--Except as provided in subsection (b), in this Act:
            (1) Artificial intelligence.--The term ``artificial
        intelligence'' includes the following:
                    (A) Any artificial systems that perform tasks under
                varying and unpredictable circumstances, without
                significant human oversight, or that can learn from
                their experience and improve their performance. Such
                systems may be developed in computer software, physical
                hardware, or other contexts not yet contemplated. They
                may solve tasks requiring human-like perception,
                cognition, planning, learning, communication, or
                physical action. In general, the more human-like the
                system within the context of its tasks, the more it can
                be said to use artificial intelligence.
                    (B) Systems that think like humans, such as
                cognitive architectures and neural networks.
                    (C) Systems that act like humans, such as systems
                that can pass the Turing test or other comparable test
                via natural language processing, knowledge
                representation, automated reasoning, and learning.
                    (D) A set of techniques, including machine
                learning, that seek to approximate some cognitive task.
                    (E) Systems that act rationally, such as
                intelligent software agents and embodied robots that
                achieve goals via perception, planning, reasoning,
                learning, communicating, decision making, and acting.
            (2) Artificial general intelligence.--The term ``artificial
        general intelligence'' means a notional future artificial
        intelligence system that exhibits apparently intelligent
        behavior at least as advanced as a person across the range of
        cognitive, emotional, and social behaviors.
            (3) Narrow artificial intelligence.--The term ``narrow
        artificial intelligence'' means an artificial intelligence
        system that addresses specific application areas such as
        playing strategic games, language translation, self-driving
        vehicles, and image recognition.
    (b) Modifications.--The Federal Advisory Committee on the
Development and Implementation of Artificial Intelligence established
under section 4(a) may revise such definitions under subsection (a) of
this section as the advisory committee considers appropriate.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Arctic Climate Adaptation Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States is an Arctic Nation with--
                    (A) an approximately 700-mile border with the
                Arctic Ocean;
                    (B) more than 100,000,000 acres of land above the
                Arctic Circle; and
                    (C) a broader area within the Arctic isotherm that
                encompasses most of the Bering Sea.
            (2) The Arctic region of the United States--
                    (A) is home to an indigenous population which has
                subsisted for millennia on the abundance in marine
                mammals, fish, and wildlife, many of which are unique
                to the region;
                    (B) is known to the indigenous population as
                Inuvikput or the ``place where we live''; and
                    (C) has produced more than 16,000,000,000 barrels
                of oil and, according to the United States Geological
                Survey, may hold an additional 30,000,000,000 barrels
                of oil and 220,000,000,000,000 cubic feet of natural
                gas, making the region of fundamental importance to the
                national interest of the United States.
            (3) Temperatures in the United States Arctic region have
        warmed by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius over the past half-century, a
        rate of increase that is twice the global average.
            (4) The Arctic ice pack is rapidly diminishing and
        thinning, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
        Administration estimates the Arctic Ocean may be ice free
        during summer months in as few as 30 years.
            (5) Such changes to the Arctic region are having a
        significant impact on the indigenous people of the Arctic,
        their communities and ecosystems, as well as the marine
        mammals, fish, and wildlife upon which they depend.
            (6) Such changes are opening new portions of the United
        States Arctic continental shelf to possible development for
        offshore oil and gas, commercial fishing, marine shipping, and
        tourism.
            (7) Unprecedented storms over an area of Arctic waters that
        are now ice-free are eroding sections of Alaska shoreline at
        rates of 45 feet or more annually. Thawing permafrost is
        causing roads and the foundations of public buildings and homes
        to buckle. Entire Alaskan Arctic villages are at risk of
        serious erosion or of being washed into the sea.
            (8) As many as 4 of Alaska's coastal villages are at
        immediate risk and will face overwhelming relocation costs in
        the during the period from 2009 through 2014 as the lack of
        winter ice pack allows increased wave energy to erode
        beachfronts that are no longer held together by frozen soil.
        The Government Accountability Office estimates that relocation
        costs for those 4 villages will be $450,000,000 and that as
        many as 30 additional Alaskan coastal villages will face
        similar threats during the period from 2009 through 2019.
            (9) A study conducted by the Government Accountability
        Office published in June 2009, states that ``most of Alaska's
        more than 200 Native villages were affected to some degree by
        flooding and erosion,'' and recommends that ``Congress may wish
        to consider designating or creating a lead Federal entity that
        could work in conjunction with the lead state agency to
        coordinate and oversee village relocation efforts''.
            (10) A 2009 study by the University of Alaska's Institute
        for Social and Economic Research concluded that the added
        adaptation costs for Alaska's public infrastructure resulting
        from climate change impacts will range up to $6,000,000,000 by
        2030.
            (11) Coastal erosion and thawing permafrost threaten the
        public infrastructure, including airports which are often the
        only link to the outside world, roadways, and other basic
        utilities, of many of Alaska's 267 incorporated communities,
        with an estimated adaptation cost in the tens of billions of
        dollars during the several decades following the date of the
        enactment of this Act.
            (12) Additionally, rising ocean temperatures and increased
        ocean acidification result in changes in fish habitats and
        invasive fish species jeopardizing both Alaska's commercial
        fisheries, which produce 60 percent of the United States
        commercial catch, and the subsistence hunting, fishing, and
        gathering that supplies as much as 90 percent of the protein
        supply for as many as 214 economically disadvantaged Alaskan
        Native villages from Metlakatla in the south to Point Barrow in
        the north.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Equity in Athletics Disclosure
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) participation in athletic pursuits play an important
        role in teaching young Americans how to work on teams, handle
        challenges and overcome obstacles;
            (2) participation in athletic pursuits play an important
        role in keeping the minds and bodies of young Americans healthy
        and physically fit;
            (3) there is increasing concern among citizens, educators,
        and public officials regarding the athletic opportunities for
        young men and women at institutions of higher education;
            (4) a recent study by the National Collegiate Athletic
        Association found that in Division I-A institutions, only 20
        percent of the average athletic department operations budget of
        $1,310,000 is spent on women's athletics; 15 percent of the
        average recruiting budget of $318,402 is spent on recruiting
        female athletes; the average scholarship expenses for men is
        $1,300,000 and $505.246 for women; and an average of 143 grants
        are awarded to male athletes and 59 to women athletes;
            (5) female college athletes receive less than 18 percent of
        the athletics recruiting dollar and less than 24 percent of the
        athletics operating dollar;
            (6) male college athletes receive approximately
        $179,000,000 more per year in athletic scholarship grants than
        female college athletes;
            (7) prospective students and prospective student athletes
        should be aware of the commitments of an institution to
        providing equitable athletic opportunities for its men and
        women students; and
            (8) knowledge of an institution's expenditures for women's
        and men's athletic programs would help prospective students and
        prospective student athletes make informed judgments about the
        commitments of a given institution of higher education to
        providing equitable athletic benefits to its men and women
        students.

SEC. 3. AMENDMENT.

    Section 485 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 is amended by
adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(g) Disclosure of Athletic Program Participation Rates and
Financial Support Data.--
            ``(1) Data required.--Each institution of higher education

Output:
Broadband Program Reauthorization Act of 2010 - Amends provisions of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 concerning access to broadband telecommunications services in rural areas to authorize appropriations to cover the costs of grants, loans, and loan guarantees for broadband infrastructure in any area of the United States. Gives priority in making such grants, loans, and loan guarantees to projects that provide service to the highest proportion of rural residents that do not have access to broadband service and to project applications that will expand broadband opportunities in rural and tribal areas.

Permits, under the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, entities that have received waiver authority from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to use the 763-768/793-798 MHz (700 MHz) public safety broadband spectrum to apply for funding. Authorizes appropriations for such Program.

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) repeal the expensing and 60-month amortization of intangible drilling costs; (2) repeal percentage depletion for oil and gas properties; and (3) deny the deduction for income attributable to the domestic production of oil, natural gas, or its primary products.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The number of couples reporting infertility has
        increased from 6.1 million in 2002 to more than 7.5 million
        currently.
            (2) Studies reveal that 80 to 90 percent of infertility is
        acquired and could be prevented.
            (3) Sexually transmitted diseases (``STDs'') are the most
        preventable causes of infertility and potentially fatal tubal
        pregnancies.
            (4) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
        estimates that 19 million new STD infections occur each year,
        with almost half of them among young people ages 15 to 24 and
        with an increased incidence in minority populations.
            (5) New data reveals that environmental toxins, including
        lead and mercury, as well as tobacco and alcohol, are a direct
        threat to reproductive health.
            (6) The Nation's expanding aging population requires that
        health care providers and government agencies be prepared to
        address the fertility complications of aging.
            (7) In 10 percent of infertility cases, the causes cannot
        be explained.
            (8) Public awareness of the causes of infertility can
        reduce its incidence.
            (9) Many medical schools lack the resources to adequately
        train students in the causes, treatment, and patient counseling
        needed to reduce the incidence of infertility.

SEC. 2. INTERAGENCY INFERTILITY PREVENTION TASK FORCE.

    (a) Establishment.--There is established a task force to be known
as the ``Infertility Prevention Task Force'' (in this section referred
to as the ``Task Force'').
    (b) Duties.--The Task Force shall develop a strategy for the
Federal Government to facilitate activities to prevent infertility,
including strategies for--
            (1) maximizing cooperation among departments and agencies
        of the Federal Government and the use of resources of the
        Federal Government in compiling data on the incidence of
        infertility and the incidence and impact of the various
        contributing factors;
            (2) coordinating and encouraging research in the public and
        private sector on the causes and treatment of infertility;
            (3) developing integrated Federal policies to promote
        public awareness of the causes of infertility that would
        include substantial participation by the private sector;
            (4) creating an infertility prevention curriculum to serve
