SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Fentanyl is a dangerous, synthetic opioid that's 50 to
        100 times more potent than heroin and morphine and lethal in
        doses as small as approximately 2 milligrams. Current
        sentencing enhancements do not reflect the danger fentanyl
        poses at lower quantities compared to other illicit substances.
            (2) Because a lethal dose of fentanyl can be accidentally
        inhaled or absorbed through the skin, it's not just deadly to
        its users, but it also threatens the lives of law enforcement
        and customs officials, public health workers, first responders
        and postal workers who risk unknowingly coming into contact
        with fentanyl in its different forms.
            (3) From 2013 to 2014, the number of drug seizures by law
        enforcement that tested positive for fentanyl increased by 426
        percent and synthetic opioid-related deaths increased by 79
        percent, with over 700 overdose deaths related to fentanyl.
        However, due to variations in States' medical examiner and
        coroner testing and reporting techniques, and deaths attributed
        to heroin, this figure is believed to be significantly higher.
            (4) Illicitly manufactured fentanyl, pill press machines,
        and other supplies needed to manufacture counterfeit pills
        containing fentanyl are primarily sourced from China and widely
        available for purchase on the Internet. Traffickers can
        typically purchase a kilogram of fentanyl powder for as little
        as $2,000 from a Chinese supplier, transform it into hundreds
        of thousands of pills, and sell the counterfeit pills for
        millions of dollars in profit.
            (5) In 2015, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and
        Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued
        nationwide alerts identifying fentanyl as a threat to public
        health and safety and stating that the rise of counterfeit
        pills that contain fentanyl in the illicit drug market will
        likely result in more opioid-dependent individuals, overdoses,
        and deaths.
            (6) The DEA has identified two key challenges for using the
        Controlled Substances Analogue Enforcement Act of 1986 (21
        U.S.C. 801 note) to prosecute individuals for violations
        relating to fentanyl:
                    (A) The law requires that the substance have a
                substantially similar chemical structure to a
                controlled substance in order to be considered an
                analogue, yet the threshold for ``substantially
                similar'' has been cited by numerous courts as
                difficult to apply.
                    (B) Each case requires additional investigation to
                determine whether the substance in question was
                ``intended for human consumption'' and can therefore be
                considered an analogue.
            (7) Illicit fentanyl manufacturers are continuously
        manipulating the chemical structures of the analogues in order
        to stay ahead of researchers and law enforcement, thus making
        prosecuting these crimes overly onerous. Furthermore, the speed
        at which these alterations can be made outpace the current
        authorities of the Department of Justice to schedule new
        compounds and analogues under the Controlled Substances Act (21
        U.S.C. 801 et seq.).
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the trafficking in fentanyl and other synthetic opioids
        represents a public health emergency in the United States and
        requires a comprehensive legislative response;
            (2) the United States Government should use all available
        measures to reduce the availability of illicit fentanyl, its
        chemical precursors, and the equipment by which fentanyl may be
        milled into counterfeit prescription pills;
            (3) the United States Government should make grants
        available for State and local medical examiners and coroners to
        screen for fentanyl in suspected opioid overdose cases in
        regions reporting increases in fentanyl seizures, fentanyl-
        related overdose fatalities, or unusually high spikes in heroin
        or unspecified drug overdose fatalities;
            (4) State and local law enforcement should, if safe and
        possible, prioritize and expedite testing of drug samples taken
        from drug overdose scenes and share the data on fentanyl drug
        seizures with local health departments, coroners, and medical
        examiners;
            (5) grants made available to address the opioid epidemic
        should be used to improve States' surveillance of fentanyl-
        related deaths and to expand access to naloxone for first
        responders, law enforcement, and health care personnel given
        that multiple doses of naloxone must be administered per
        overdose event; and
            (6) the United States Government, including the Secretary
        of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland
        Security, and the Director of the Office of National Drug
        Control Policy, should use the broad diplomatic and law
        enforcement resources of the United States, in partnership with
        the Governments of Mexico and China, to stop the trafficking of
        illicit fentanyl into the United States.

Output: Comprehensive Fentanyl Control Act This bill amends the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) to modify the definition of "controlled substance analogue" to mean a substance that has a similar (previously, substantially similar) chemical structure and pharmacological effect to a schedule I controlled substance.  Additionally, it modifies the treatment of controlled substance analogues. Under current law, a controlled substance analogue that is intended for human consumption is treated as a schedule I controlled substance. This bill replaces the "intended for human consumption" qualifier with a "not a chemical substance subject to the Toxic Substances Control Act" qualifier. Specifically, a controlled substance analogue that is not a chemical substance under the Toxic Substances Control Act is treated as a schedule I controlled substance.  The bill modifies the drug quantity thresholds that trigger a mandatory minimum prison term for a defendant who manufactures, distributes, or possesses with intent to distribute fentanyl.  It also establishes a consecutive mandatory prison term for a defendant who commits a drug offense involving a detectable amount of heroin or fentanyl.  The bill allows the Drug Enforcement Administration to temporarily place a substance into schedule I if it reasonably believes that the substance: (1) is a synthetic opioid analgesic; (2) is the object of clandestine importation, manufacture, or distribution; and (3) poses an imminent hazard to public health and safety. Finally, the bill makes it a crime to knowingly mail to an unauthorized person equipment that may be used to manufacture counterfeit controlled substances.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Commission on Probabilistic Methods
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) probabilistic methods have wide applicability in
        improving process efficiency and eliminating overdesign in
        government programs and purchases;
            (2) the integration of probabilistic methods into business
        practices has contributed significantly to the success of
        industry quality programs and has saved billions of dollars for
        companies;
            (3) Federal use of probabilistic methods is less advanced
        than it is in industry;
            (4) probabilistic methods hold out the promise of better
        understanding of safety and environmental risks, and if
        properly applied can lead to more business-friendly
        regulations;
            (5) if made an integral part of federally funded design
        efforts, probabilistic methods could lead to a better
        understanding of the specifications a product must meet and
        reduce overdesign and associated costs; and
            (6) appropriate use of probabilistic methods within the
        programs of the Department of Transportation could lead through
        quantification of uncertainties to more reliable, less costly
        components of our transportation system, including roads,
        bridges, and automotive, aerospace, and mass transit systems,
        and could also benefit the programs of other Federal agencies
        such as the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce,
        and the National Institutes of Health.

SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT.

    The Administrator of the Research and Special Programs

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Plymouth 400th Anniversary
Commemorative Coin Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the arrival of the Pilgrims in Massachusetts in 1620 is
        an important landmark event in the history of the United
        States;
            (2) the United States is poised for an anniversary of
        national and international significance, in 2020 with the 400th
        anniversary of the Mayflower's voyage, signing of the Mayflower
        Compact, and the founding of Plymouth Colony;
            (3) the Plymouth 400th anniversary will highlight the
        cultural contributions and United States traditions that began
        with the interaction of the indigenous Wampanoag and English
        peoples, a story that significantly shaped the building of the
        United States;
            (4) the settlers, now known as the Pilgrims, and their ship
        the Mayflower, have come to represent national and
        international symbols of freedom and law;
            (5) the indigenous Wampanoag people, and their interaction
        with the Pilgrims, created an important legacy through their
        assistance and association, including participation in the
        first shared harvest, which serves as an indelible iconic
        moment in United States history;
            (6) the ``Mayflower Compact'', signed near Provincetown
        before the Pilgrims explored Provincetown and Cape Cod and
        subsequently landed in Plymouth, was the colonial cornerstone
        for self-governance in the New World and had a profound
        influence on later developments related to the Constitution of
        the United States and the Bill of Rights;
            (7) the story of the Wampanoag people, the Pilgrims, and
        the Mayflower are iconic symbols for the world representing
        freedom, family, law, and justice;
            (8) today, people from across the 50 States and around the
        world visit Massachusetts to see the sights of the first
        landing in Provincetown, early exploration of the New World
        along Cape Cod, and the ultimate landing and settlement in
        Plymouth (commemorated by Plymouth Rock), as well as to visit
        the re-created Mayflower and Plimoth Plantation, trace their
        ancestry, and learn about the indigenous Wampanoag and their
        integral role in the history of the United States;
            (9) there are more than 20,000,000 descendants worldwide
        who trace their ancestry back to the Mayflower passengers
        arriving in 1620 and on subsequent ships in the 1620s;
            (10) there are two federally recognized Indian Tribes in
        the Commonwealth of Massachusetts--the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay
        Head (Aquinnah) and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe--that have
        tribal members or citizens who descend from the historical
        Wampanoag Indian people whose sachem Massasoit signed the
        Wampanoag Treaty of 1621;
            (11) in 1897, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants
        was formed with the purpose of creating permanent records of
        those with lineage to the Mayflower Pilgrims, and to educate
        the public about the impact the Pilgrims had on Western
        civilization;
            (12) in 2009, a nonprofit organization, Plymouth 400, Inc.,
        was established to ensure a suitable national observance of the
        Plymouth 400th anniversary to include the themes of
        exploration, innovation, immigration, self-governance,
        religious freedom, and thanksgiving, which are legacies that
        were sparked by these historic events and that continue today
        as cornerstones of the United States;
            (13) Plymouth 400, Inc. will lead, support, and facilitate
        legislative and marketing efforts for a commemorative coin
        series, United States postage stamps, and related activities
        for the Plymouth 400th anniversary observances and
        commemorations in 2020;
            (14) a commemorative coin series will bring national and
        international attention to the lasting legacy of Plymouth
        Colony, the indigenous Wampanoag Tribes, and the Pilgrim
        settlers; and
            (15) the proceeds from a surcharge on the sale of such
        commemorative coins will assist the financing of a suitable
        national observance in 2020 and 2021 of the 400th anniversary
        of the Pilgrim landing and historic events, including the
        signing of the Mayflower Compact, the first shared harvest,
        interaction with the indigenous Wampanoag people, and other
        significant events of the period.

of 1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States promotes efforts to prevent harm to
        the environment generally, including fish, wildlife, endangered
        species, and other natural resources, and to encourage
        sustainable development.
            (2) Free trade agreements and other major trade actions may
        have significant effects, positive and negative, on
        environmental resources.
            (3) Those effects may be within or outside of the
        territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
            (4) The interaction between increased liberalized trade and
        the environment is a complex and little understood issue.
            (5) Free trade agreements and other major trade actions
        have traditionally been excluded from any environmental
        assessment or monitoring requirements.
            (6) As part of its responsibilities under the Constitution
        to regulate commerce with foreign nations, the Congress
        considers legislation to grant negotiating authority to the
        President for free trade agreements, and legislation to
        implement those agreements.
            (7) The Congress and the public should be apprised of the
        environmental effects of free trade agreements and other major
        trade actions.
            (8) The environmental effects of free trade agreements and
        other major trade actions should be identified and considered
        by the President before entering into such actions.
