Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Block Access to North Korea Act of
2016'' or ``BANK Act of 2016''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) North Korea continues to develop a ballistic missile
        and nuclear weapons program, despite numerous United States and
        international sanctions, including United Nations Security
        Council Resolutions 1695, 1718, 1874, 2087, 2094, and 2270,
        among others.
            (2) North Korea tested its fifth and largest nuclear device
        on September 9, 2016.
            (3) North Korea has increased the pace of its missile
        testing, including the test of a submarine-launched ballistic
        missile, potentially furthering the development of a second-
        strike capability.
            (4) North Korea has persistently demonstrated an
        unwillingness to meaningfully negotiate with the United States
        regarding denuclearization.
            (5) By its actions and continued investments in its nuclear
        program, it is clear that the Government of North Korea has no
        intention to reduce or eliminate its nuclear weapons program.
            (6) Specialized financial messaging services allow for
        messaging and contact, including the transfer of funds, between
        financial institutions.
            (7) The Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of
        Korea and certain other financial institutions are currently
        able to avail themselves to financial messaging systems which
        could be used in funding the North Korean nuclear program.
            (8) Experts link North Korea to the hacking of specialized
        financial messaging institutions, resulting in the theft of
        $81,000,000 from the central bank of Bangledesh.
            (9) North Korean provocations continue to endanger its
        citizens, those of United States allies, and those of
        Americans.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) providers of specialized financial messaging services
        are a critical link to the international financial system;
            (2) directly providing specialized financial messaging
        services to, or enabling or facilitating direct or indirect
        access to such messaging services for, any financial
        institution is inconsistent with paragraph 11 of the United
        Nations Security Council Resolution 2094; and
            (3) the United States reaffirms its commitment to its
        allies in the region, including the Republic of Korea and
        Japan, which are directly threatened by North Korea.

SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE
              PROVISION OF SPECIALIZED FINANCIAL MESSAGING SERVICES TO
              THE CENTRAL BANK OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF
              KOREA AND CERTAIN OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND
              SANCTIONED PERSONS.

    (a) In General.--The President shall impose sanctions pursuant to
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq.) with respect to a person if, on or after the date that is 90 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the person continues to
knowingly and directly provide specialized financial messaging services
to, or knowingly enable or facilitate direct or indirect access to such
messaging services for--
            (1) the Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of
        Korea;
            (2) a financial institution that facilitates any
        transaction or transactions or provides significant financial
        services for nuclear development or proliferation for or on
        behalf of North Korea; or
            (3) a person identified on the list of specially designated
        nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Office of
        Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury by
        reason of assisting the nuclear development or proliferation
        efforts of North Korea.
    (b) Waiver.--The President may waive the requirement to impose
sanctions with respect to a person under subsection (a) if--
            (1) the person is subject to a sanctions regime under its
        governing foreign law that requires it to eliminate the knowing
        provision of such messaging services to, and the knowing
        enabling and facilitation of direct or indirect access to such
        messaging services for, the Central Bank of the Democratic
        People's Republic of Korea, any financial institution described
        in subsection (a)(2), and any person described in subsection
        (a)(3);
            (2) the person has, pursuant to that sanctions regime,
        terminated the knowing provision of such messaging services to,
        and the knowing enabling and facilitation of direct or indirect
        access to such messaging services for, the Central Bank of the
        Democratic People's Republic of Korea, any financial
        institution described in subsection (a)(2), and any person
        described in subsection (a)(3); and
            (3) the President determines that such a waiver is in the
        national interest of the United States.
    (c) Clarification.--For purposes of this section, enabling or
facilitating direct or indirect access to specialized financial
messaging services for the Central Bank of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, a financial institution described in subsection
(a)(2), or a person described in subsection (a)(3) includes doing so by
serving as an intermediary financial institution with access to such
messaging services.

Output: Block Access to North Korea Act of 2016 or BANK Act of 2016 This bill requires the President to impose sanctions pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, with specified waiver authority, against a person that continues to knowingly and directly provide specialized financial messaging services to, or to knowingly enable or facilitate access to such messaging services for:   the Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea),  a financial institution that facilitates any transaction or provides significant financial services for nuclear development or proliferation on North Korea's behalf, or  a person identified on the list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control for assisting North Korea's nuclear development or proliferation efforts.

                TITLE IV--STOPPING THE INTERNET GIVEAWAY

SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Protecting Internet Freedom Act''.

SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Department of Commerce and the National
        Telecommunications and Information Administration (in this
        section referred to as the ``NTIA'') should be responsible for
        maintaining the continuity and stability of services related to
        certain interdependent Internet technical management functions,
        known collectively as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
        (in this section referred to as the ``IANA''), which includes--
                    (A) the coordination of the assignment of technical
                Internet protocol parameters;
                    (B) the administration of certain responsibilities
                associated with the Internet domain name system root
                zone management;
                    (C) the allocation of Internet numbering resources;
                and
                    (D) other services related to the management of the
                Advanced Research Project Agency and INT top-level
                domains.
            (2) The interdependent technical functions described in
        paragraph (1) were performed on behalf of the Federal
        Government under a contract between the Defense Advanced
        Research Projects Agency and the University of Southern
        California as part of a research project known as the Tera-node
        Network Technology project. As the Tera-node Network Technology
        project neared completion and the contract neared expiration in
        1999, the Federal Government recognized the need for the
        continued performance of the IANA functions as vital to the
        stability and correct functioning of the Internet.
            (3) The NTIA may use its contract authority to maintain the
        continuity and stability of services related to the IANA
        functions.
            (4) If the NTIA uses its contract authority, the
        contractor, in the performance of its duties, must have or
        develop a close constructive working relationship with all
        interested and affected parties to ensure quality and
        satisfactory performance of the IANA functions. The interested
        and affected parties include--
                    (A) the multistakeholder, private sector-led,
                bottom-up policy development model for the domain name
                system that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
                and Numbers represents;
                    (B) the Internet Engineering Task Force and the
                Internet Architecture Board;
                    (C) Regional Internet Registries;
                    (D) top-level domain operators and managers, such
                as country codes and generic;
                    (E) governments; and
                    (F) the Internet user community.
            (5) The IANA functions contract of the Department of
        Commerce explicitly declares that ``[a]ll deliverables provided
        under this contract become the property of the U.S.
        Government.''. One of the deliverables is the automated root
        zone.
            (6) Former President Bill Clinton's Internet czar Ira
        Magaziner stated that ``[t]he United States paid for the
        Internet, the Net was created under its auspices, and most
        importantly everything [researchers] did was pursuant to
        government contracts.''.
            (7) Under section 3 of article IV of the Constitution of
        the United States, Congress has the exclusive power to
        ``dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations
        respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the
        United States''.
            (8) The .gov and .mil top-level domains are the property of
        the United States Government, and as property, the United
        States Government should have the exclusive control and use of
        those domains in perpetuity.

SEC. 403. MAINTAINING THE IANA FUNCTIONS CONTRACT.

    The Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and
Information may not allow the responsibility of the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration with respect to the
Internet domain name system functions, including responsibility with
respect to the authoritative root zone file and the performance of the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority functions, to terminate, lapse,
expire, be canceled, or otherwise cease to be in effect unless a
Federal statute enacted after the date of enactment of this title
expressly grants the Assistant Secretary such authority.

SEC. 404. EXCLUSIVE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF
              .GOV AND .MIL DOMAINS.

    Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this title,
the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information
shall provide to Congress a written certification that the United
States Government has--
            (1) secured sole ownership of the .gov and .mil top-level
        domains; and
            (2) entered into a contract with the Internet Corporation
        for Assigned Names and Numbers that provides that the United
        States Government has exclusive control and use of those
        domains in perpetuity.

Output: This bill provides continuing FY2017 appropriations to most federal agencies until the earlier of December 9, 2016, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations legislation.  It prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur when FY2017 begins on October 1, 2016, because the FY2017 appropriations bills that fund the federal government have not been enacted. The bill specifies the rates of operations for security and nonsecurity programs for the duration of the continuing appropriations.  The bill enacts, by reference, the provisions of the conference report for H.R. 2577 (Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017 and Zika Response and Preparedness Act).  American Security Against Foreign Enemies Act of 2015 or the American SAFE Act of 2015  The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence must take specified actions to ensure that certain aliens from Iraq or Syria receive thorough background investigations and are certified not to be a security threat prior to being admitted to the United States as refugees.  Protecting Internet Freedom Act  The Department of Commerce may not allow the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's responsibility for Internet domain name system functions to cease unless a federal statute enacted after enactment of this bill expressly grants Commerce the authority.  Commerce must certify to Congress that the United States: (1) secured sole ownership of the .gov and .mil top-level domains, and (2) entered into a contract with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers that provides the U.S. government with exclusive control and use of those domains in perpetuity.

Output: Reigniting Opportunity for Innovators Act This bill amends title IV (Student Assistance) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to make qualified founders and full-time employees of small business start-ups eligible for deferring for up to three years their loans under the federal Direct Loan program. If the start-up is located in an economically distressed area, qualified founders and employees are also eligible for loan cancellation of up to $20,000 under that program.
