SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

Quality Assistance Act of 1998''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) bounty hunters, also known as bail enforcement officers
        or recovery agents, provide law enforcement officers and the
        courts with valuable assistance in recovering fugitives from
        justice;
            (2) regardless of the differences in their duties, skills,
        and responsibilities, the public has had difficulty in
        discerning the difference between law enforcement officers and
        bounty hunters;
            (3) the availability of bail as an alternative to the
        pretrial detention or unsecured release of criminal defendants
        is important to the effective functioning of the criminal
        justice system;
            (4) the safe and timely return to custody of fugitives who
        violate bail contracts is an important matter of public safety,

            (5) bail bond agents are widely regulated by the States,
        whereas bounty hunters are largely unregulated;
            (6) the public safety requires the employment of qualified,
        well-trained bounty hunters; and
            (7) in the course of their duties, bounty hunters often
        move in and affect interstate commerce.

        date of becoming an inmate of a public institution and who is a
        youth (as so determined) at the time of release from such
        institution, if the individual was enrolled for medical
        assistance under the State plan immediately before becoming
        such an inmate the State must suspend, rather than terminate,
        such enrollment for such individual during the period in which
        such individual is such an inmate in a manner such that--
                    ``(A) the enrollment of such individual shall be
                reinstated upon release from such institution unless
                and until there is a determination that the individual

                is still a child at the time of release from such
                institution, if the child was enrolled for child health
                assistance under the State child health plan
                immediately before becoming such an inmate the State
                must suspend, rather than terminate, such enrollment
                for such child during the period in which such child is
                such an inmate in a manner such that--
                            ``(i) the enrollment of such child shall be
                        reinstated upon release from such institution

                        the child is no longer eligible to be so
                        enrolled; and
                            ``(ii) any period of continuous eligibility
                        in effect on the date the child became such an
                        inmate shall be reinstated as of the date of
                        the release and the duration of such period
                        shall be determined without regard to the
                        period in which the child was such an

        of a State plan for medical assistance under title XIX of the
        Social Security Act, or a State child health plan for child
        health assistance under title XXI of such Act, which the
        Secretary of Health and Human Services determines requires
        State legislation (other than legislation appropriating funds)
        in order for the plan to meet the additional requirement
        imposed by the amendment made by subsection (a)(3) or (b),
        respectively, the State plan or State child health plan,
        respectively, shall not be regarded as failing to comply with
        the requirements of such title solely on the basis of its
        failure to meet such respective additional requirement before
        the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the
        close of the first regular session of the State legislature
        that begins after the date of the enactment of this Act. For
        purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a State that
        has a 2-year legislative session, each year of such session
        shall be deemed to be a separate regular session of the State
        legislature.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``United States-Japan Trade Equalizing
Act of 1993''.

                   TITLE I--FINDINGS AND DEFINITIONS

SEC. 101. FINDINGS, PURPOSE, AND DISCLAIMERS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States trade deficit with Japan has
        increased substantially over the past decade. In 1991, the
        United States trade deficit with Japan was $43,400,000,000. The
        trade deficit increased by 14 percent in 1 year, to over
        $49,400,000,000 by the end of 1992.
            (2) The traditional domestic motor vehicle and motor
        vehicle parts sector directly employs more than 1 million
        workers and indirectly employs several million more. The
        workers are skilled, hard working, productive, capable, and
        proud of their work. The workers and their employers have
        achieved great improvements in quality, performance, fuel
        economy, safety, and design of domestic motor vehicles.
            (3) The domestic motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts
        sector directly and indirectly accounts for about 12 percent of
        our gross national product and generates more than
        $200,000,000,000 a year in revenue.
            (4) The domestic motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts
        sector is a major consumer of steel, glass, textiles, rubber,
        aluminum, machine tools, chemicals, electronics, and other
        important products.
            (5) Recognizing the competitive pressures facing the motor
        vehicle industry, Japan has operated under a voluntary export
        restraint arrangement since 1981 that has not been recognized
        or enforced by the United States Government.
            (6) Since 1986 the United States Government has engaged,
        with little result, in a negotiating process with the
        Government of Japan to obtain fair access to the markets of
        that nation for United States producers of motor vehicle parts
        and manufacturers of motor vehicles.
            (7) Despite these negotiating efforts, in 1992 the United
        States posted a $49,400,000,000 trade deficit with Japan of
        which over $30,000,000,000 was accounted for by the automotive
        sector deficit ($9,800,000,000 of which was attributable to
        motor vehicle parts), and there is little evidence that the
        Japanese Government is seriously trying to eliminate such
        deficits which are detrimental to the United States economy and
        jobs.
            (8) In addition to transplant assembly facilities in the
        United States that are owned or controlled by Japanese persons,
        motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts are being imported from
        Japan into the United States in such increased quantities and
        under such conditions as to cause, or threaten to cause,
        serious injury to domestic manufacturers of like or directly
        competitive products and to the domestic workers producing such
        products.
            (9) In the last 5 years, transplant assembly facilities in
        the United States that are owned or controlled by persons from
        Japan have not shifted significantly their procurement to
        traditional United States producers of motor vehicle parts, as
        illustrated by the fact that--
                    (A) the United States automotive parts trade
                deficit with Japan grew between 1985 and 1990 at an
                annual average rate of 17 percent and totaled
                $9,800,000,000 in 1992; and
                    (B) only 12.5 percent of the customs value of
                vehicles manufactured in such transplant facilities in
                the United States is based on parts produced by
                traditional United States motor vehicle parts
                producers, while 35.1 percent of such value is based on
                imports from Japan and 32.4 percent of such value is
                based on purchases from Japanese-affiliated parts
                producers located in the United States.
            (10) The pattern of procurement described in paragraph (9)
        has contributed significantly to the overall United States
        merchandise trade deficit with Japan.
            (11) The continuation of current procurement practices by
        automobile companies owned or controlled by persons from Japan
        and the increased production of vehicles by transplant
        facilities in the United States is projected to result in a 110
        percent (or $21,990,000,000) increase in the United States
        motor vehicle parts trade deficit by 1994.
            (12) Aftermarket parts are likely to account for 50 percent
        of the motor vehicle parts trade deficit with Japan by 1994
        because transplant facilities are not purchasing sufficient
        quantities of original equipment from United States suppliers.
            (13) Traditional United States motor vehicle parts
        manufacturers are particularly underrepresented in the
        production of motor vehicles produced by transplant facilities
        in the United States in the following 3 major, high value-added
        vehicle systems:
                    (A) Engines.
                    (B) Transmissions.
                    (C) Body structures.
            (14) In the 1991 National Trade Estimates Report, the
        United States Trade Representative listed ``close and durable
        relationships'' between Japanese motor vehicle makers and
        suppliers as a barrier to United States motor vehicle parts
        sales in Japan.
            (15) The market share of Japanese motor vehicle
        manufacturers in the European Community is currently 10 percent
        while their market share in the United States is about 35
        percent.
            (16) The European Community has negotiated an understanding
        with the Government of Japan limiting the market share of motor
        vehicles produced by Japanese motor vehicle manufacturing
        companies both in Japan and in the European Community to less
        than 16 percent until the year 2000.
            (17) The home market for motor vehicles and motor vehicle
        parts in Japan remains largely closed to all foreign
        manufacturers whose combined market share equals no more than 3
        percent.
            (18) Japan's nontariff market barriers include onerous
        inspection and certification systems that discriminate against
        foreign-made motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts, a tax
        system that discriminates against foreign-made products, closed
        distribution systems and dealer networks, and government-
        tolerated ``Keiretsu'' relationships involving motor vehicle
        and motor vehicle parts manufacturers and dealers. At the same
        time, Japanese firms enjoy open markets in the United States
        with no limitations or discrimination.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to decrease the
merchandise trade deficit of the United States with Japan by providing
for a staged merchandise trade deficit reduction over a 5-year period.
    (c) Congressional Disclaimers.--It is the intent of Congress that
this Act shall not be deemed to modify or amend the terms or conditions
of any international treaty, convention, or agreement that may be
applicable to motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts and to which the
United States, on the date of the enactment of this Act, is a party,
including, but not limited to, the terms or conditions of any such
treaty, convention, or agreement which provide for the resolution of
conflicts between the parties thereto. Nothing in this Act shall be
construed (1) to confer jurisdiction upon any court of the United
States to consider and resolve such conflicts, or (2) to alter or amend
any law existing on the date of the enactment of this Act which may
confer such jurisdiction in such courts.

             TITLE II--MERCHANDISE TRADE DEFICIT REDUCTION

SEC. 201. STAGED TRADE DEFICIT REDUCTION.

    (a) Trade Deficit Reduction Targets.--
            (1) In general.--The trade deficit reduction target for
        each of the calendar years listed below is an average monthly
        merchandise trade deficit of the United States with Japan
        during such year that does not exceed an amount that equals the
        applicable percentage of the baseline deficit that appears
        opposite such year:

Calendar year                       Applicable percentage of baseline
                                            deficit
    1994..........................................           80 percent
    1995..........................................           60 percent
    1996..........................................           40 percent
    1997..........................................           20 percent
    1998..........................................            0 percent
            (2) Special rule for 1998.--For calendar year 1998, the 0
        percent trade deficit reduction target shall be treated as
        having been met if the merchandise trade deficit of the United
        States with Japan during such year does not exceed--
                    (A) an amount equal to 5 percent of the value of
                the aggregate bilateral merchandise trade between the
                United States and Japan during such year; or
                    (B) $5,000,000,000.
    (b) Computations.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than January 1 following each
        calendar year listed in subsection (a)(1), the Secretary shall
        compute whether the trade deficit reduction target for such
        year was met.
            (2) Announcement of import restriction implementation
        period.--If the Secretary finds under paragraph (1) that the
        trade deficit reduction target specified under subsection (a)
        for a calendar year was not met, the Secretary shall announce,
        by publication in the Federal Register, that the import
        restriction implementation period is in effect beginning on
        January 1 of the year after the year to which the finding
        applies.

SEC. 202. COMPUTATION OF IMPORT RESTRICTIONS IF TRADE DEFICIT REDUCTION
              TARGET NOT MET.

    (a) In General.--On January 1 of the first calendar year (and each
calendar year thereafter) for which an import restriction
implementation period is in effect, the Secretary shall compute and
publish in the Federal Register the quantitative import restrictions
for such calendar year.
    (b) Computation.--
            (1) In general.--For purposes of subsection (a), the term
        ``quantitative import restrictions'' means the aggregate
        quantity of Japanese motor vehicles and the aggregate quantity
        of Japanese motor vehicle parts that may be entered into the
        United States (in accordance with paragraph (2) or (3)) for a
        calendar year described in subsection (a).
            (2) First year restrictions.--The aggregate quantity of
        Japanese motor vehicles and Japanese motor vehicle parts that
        may be entered into the United States, during the first
        calendar year for which an import restriction implementation
        period is in effect, may not exceed the aggregate quantity of
        such motor vehicles and the aggregate quantity of such motor
        vehicle parts entered into the United States during 1993,
        reduced by 20 percent.
            (3) Subsequent years.--In the case of any calendar year for
        which an import restriction period is in effect after the first
        such calendar year, the aggregate quantity of Japanese motor
        vehicles and Japanese motor vehicle parts that may be entered
        into the United States shall not exceed the amount of such
        motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts entered during the most
        recent preceding calendar year for which an import restriction
        implementation period was in effect, reduced by 20 percent.
            (4) Administration.--In order to prevent import surging or
        to otherwise ensure the efficient administration of this Act,
        the Secretary may impose temporary quantitative import
        restrictions on Japanese motor vehicles and Japanese motor
        vehicle parts entered during the first 3 months of a calendar
        year in an import restriction implementation period.

SEC. 203. REPORTS.

    Within 30 days after a computation is made under section 201 or 202
with respect to a calendar year, the Secretary shall submit to the
Congress a report setting forth the bases of the computation.

SEC. 204. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ACHIEVEMENT OF MERCHANDISE TRADE
              DEFICIT REDUCTION TARGETS.

    It is the sense of the Congress that representatives of the United
States and Japanese Governments should undertake continuing discussions
regarding the means and measures, to be selected by the Japanese
Government, to achieve the merchandise trade deficit reduction targets
required under section 201(a). During the discussions, the Trade
Representative should particularly address market access priorities for
United States exports to Japan.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2016''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) More than 730,000 radio amateurs in the United States
        are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission in the
        amateur radio services.
            (2) Amateur radio, at no cost to taxpayers, provides a
        fertile ground for technical self-training in modern
        telecommunications, electronics technology, and emergency
        communications techniques and protocols.
            (3) There is a strong Federal interest in the effective
        performance of amateur stations established at the residences
        of licensees. Such stations have been shown to be frequently
        and increasingly precluded by unreasonable private land use
        restrictions, including restrictive covenants.
            (4) Federal Communications Commission regulations have for
        three decades prohibited the application to stations in the
        amateur service of State and local regulations that preclude or
        fail to reasonably accommodate amateur service communications,
        or that do not constitute the minimum practicable regulation to
        accomplish a legitimate State or local purpose. Commission
        policy has been and is to require States and localities to
        permit erection of a station antenna structure at heights and
        dimensions sufficient to accommodate amateur service
        communications.
            (5) The Commission has sought guidance and direction from
        Congress with respect to the application of the Commission's
        limited preemption policy regarding amateur service
        communications to private land use restrictions, including
        restrictive covenants.
            (6) There are aesthetic and common property considerations
        that are uniquely applicable to private land use regulations
        and the community associations obligated to enforce covenants,
        conditions, and restrictions in deed-restricted communities.
        These considerations are dissimilar to those applicable to
        State law and local ordinances regulating the same residential
        amateur radio facilities.
            (7) In recognition of these considerations, a separate
        Federal policy than exists at section 97.15(b) of title 47,
        Code of Federal Regulations, is warranted concerning amateur
        service communications in deed-restricted communities.
            (8) Community associations should fairly administer private
        land use regulations in the interest of their communities,
        while nevertheless permitting the installation and maintenance
        of effective outdoor amateur radio antennas. There exist
        antenna designs and installations that can be consistent with
        the aesthetics and physical characteristics of land and
        structures in community associations while accommodating
        communications in the amateur radio services.

SEC. 3. APPLICATION OF PRIVATE LAND USE RESTRICTIONS TO AMATEUR
              STATIONS.

    (a) Amendment of FCC Rules.--Not later than 120 days after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Federal Communications Commission
shall amend section 97.15 of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, by
adding a new paragraph that prohibits the application to amateur
stations of any private land use restriction, including a restrictive
covenant, that--
            (1) on its face or as applied, precludes communications in
        an amateur radio service;
            (2) fails to permit a licensee in an amateur radio service
        to install and maintain an effective outdoor antenna on
        property under the exclusive use or control of the licensee; or
            (3) does not constitute the minimum practicable restriction
        on such communications to accomplish the lawful purposes of a
        community association seeking to enforce such restriction.
    (b) Additional Requirements.--In amending its rules as required by
subsection (a), the Commission shall--
            (1) require any licensee in an amateur radio service to
        notify and obtain prior approval from a community association
        concerning installation of an outdoor antenna;
            (2) permit a community association to prohibit installation
        of any antenna or antenna support structure by a licensee in an
        amateur radio service on common property not under the
        exclusive use or control of the licensee; and
            (3) subject to the standards specified in paragraphs (1)
        and (2) of subsection (a), permit a community association to
        establish reasonable written rules concerning height, location,
        size, and aesthetic impact of, and installation requirements
        for, outdoor antennas and support structures for the purpose of
        conducting communications in the amateur radio services.

SEC. 4. AFFIRMATION OF LIMITED PREEMPTION OF STATE AND LOCAL LAND USE
              REGULATION.

    The Federal Communications Commission may not change section
97.15(b) of title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, which shall remain
applicable to State and local land use regulation of amateur service
communications.

SEC. 5. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) Community association.--The term ``community
        association'' means any non-profit mandatory membership
        organization composed of owners of real estate described in a
        declaration of covenants or created pursuant to a covenant or
        other applicable law with respect to which a person, by virtue
        of the person's ownership of or interest in a unit or parcel,
        is obligated to pay for a share of real estate taxes, insurance
        premiums, maintenance, improvement, services, or other expenses
        related to common elements, other units, or any other real
        estate other than the unit or parcel described in the
        declaration.
            (2) Terms defined in regulations.--The terms ``amateur
        radio services'', ``amateur service'', and ``amateur station''
        have the meanings given such terms in section 97.3 of title 47,
        Code of Federal Regulations.

            Passed the House of Representatives September 12, 2016.

            Attest:

                                                 KAREN L. HAAS,

                                                                 Clerk.

Output: (This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on September 9, 2016.  Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2016  (Sec. 3) This bill directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to amend station antenna structure regulations to prohibit a private land use restriction from applying to amateur radio stations if the restriction:  precludes communications in an amateur radio service,  fails to permit a licensee of amateur radio service to install and maintain an effective outdoor antenna on property under its exclusive use or control, or  is not the minimum practicable restriction to accomplish the lawful purposes of a community association seeking to enforce the restriction.  Before installing an outdoor antenna, however, an amateur radio licensee must obtain a community association's prior approval. A community association may: (1) prohibit installations on common property not under the exclusive control of the licensee, and (2) establish installation rules for amateur radio antennas and support structures.
