        respectively, the permittee shall implement such measures.
            ``(B) If additional conservation and mitigation measures
        are deemed necessary to respond to changed circumstances and
        are not specified in the operating conservation program of the
        conservation plan for the permit or in such agreement,

        demonstrating that unforeseen circumstances exist, using the
        best scientific and commercial data available. The Secretary
        shall clearly document any finding that unforeseen
        circumstances exist, and shall base such finding on reliable
        technical information regarding the status and habitat
        requirements of the affected species. In making such finding,
        the Secretary will consider, among other matters, the following
        factors:
                    ``(I) The size of the current range of the affected
                species.

                affected by the conservation plan or agreement.
                    ``(III) The percentage of such range conserved by
                the conservation plan or agreement.
                    ``(IV) The ecological significance of that portion
                of the range affected by the conservation plan or
                agreement.
                    ``(V) The level of knowledge about the affected
                species and the degree of specificity of the species'
                conservation program under the conservation plan or
                agreement.
                    ``(VI) Whether failure to adopt additional
                conservation measures would appreciably reduce the
                likelihood of survival and recovery of the affected
                species in the wild.
            ``(iv) The Secretary shall--
                    ``(I) present a record of the analyses of the
                status of unforeseen circumstances to the permittee
                before requiring any additional conservation or
                mitigation measures of the permittee or agreement party
                under clause (ii); and
                    ``(II) include in the record a qualitative and
                quantitative analysis of each of the factors specified
                in subclauses (I) through (VI) of clause (iii).''.

        candidate conservation agreement under this subsection, and is
        in compliance with the agreement, may not be required to
        undertake any additional measures for species covered by such
        agreement if the measures would require the payment of
        additional money, or the adoption of additional use,
        development, or management restrictions on any land, waters, or
        water-related rights that would otherwise be available under
        the terms of the agreement without the consent of the person
        entering into the agreement. The Secretary and the person
        entering into a candidate conservation agreement, by the terms
        of the agreement, shall identify--

SEC. 4. SAFE HARBOR AGREEMENTS.

    Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539)
(as amended by section 3) is further amended by adding at the end the
following:
    ``(l) Safe Harbor Agreements.--
            ``(1) Agreements.--

                habitat or by maintaining currently unoccupied habitat
                for endangered species or threatened species. Under an
                agreement, the Secretary shall permit the person to
                take endangered species or threatened species included
                under the agreement on lands or waters that are subject
                to the agreement if the taking is incidental to, and
                not the purpose of, carrying out of an otherwise lawful
                activity, except that the Secretary may not permit
                through an agreement any incidental taking below the
                baseline requirement specified pursuant to subparagraph
                (B).
                    ``(B) Baseline.--For each agreement under this
                subsection, the Secretary shall establish a baseline
                requirement that is mutually agreed on by the applicant

                will, at a minimum, maintain existing conditions for
                the species covered by the agreement on lands and
                waters that are subject to the agreement. The baseline
                may be expressed in terms of the abundance or
                distribution of endangered or threatened species,
                quantity or quality of habitat, or such other
                indicators as appropriate.
            ``(2) Criteria for approval.--The Secretary may approve an

SEC. 5. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

    Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539)
(as amended by section (4)) is further amended by adding at the end the
following:
    ``(m) Financial Assistance.--
            ``(1) In general.--In cooperation with the States and
        subject to the availability of appropriations, the Secretary
        may provide a grant of up to $10,000 to any individual private
        landowner to assist the landowner in carrying out a candidate
        conservation agreement with assurances or safe harbor agreement
        under this subsection.
            ``(2) Prohibition on assistance for required activities.--
        The Secretary may not provide assistance under this paragraph
        for any action that is required by a permit, candidate
        conservation agreement with assurances, or safe harbor
        agreement under this Act or that is otherwise required under
        this Act or other Federal law.
            ``(3) Other payments.--A grant provided to an individual
        private landowner under this paragraph shall be in addition to,
        and not affect, the total amount of payments that the landowner
        is otherwise eligible to receive under Federal law.''.

Output: Permit Reassurances Enabling Direct Improvements for Conservation, Tenants, and Species Act of 2018 or the PREDICTS Act of 2018 This bill amends the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to provide statutory authority for requirements regarding habitat conservation plans, candidate conservation agreements, and safe harbor agreements. Those plans and agreements give nonfederal property owners incentives, such as assurances regarding resource use restrictions, if the owner contributes towards the recovery or conservation of an endangered species, a threatened species, or a species that is a candidate for listing as an endangered or threatened species.  Under current regulations, a habitat conservation plan is required for entities to hold an incidental take permit for a project that may result in the incidental taking of an endangered or threatened species. Under candidate conservation agreements and safe harbor agreements, property owners enter into agreements with the Department of the Interior or the Department of Commerce, as appropriate, to address the needs of endangered, threatened, or candidate species in exchange for assurances regarding resource use restrictions that might be imposed if circumstances change. Each incidental take permit, candidate conservation agreement, and safe harbor agreement must contain certain assurances governing permit revocation, changed circumstances, and unforeseen circumstances as prescribed by the bill. The departments may provide grants to individual private landowners to assist the landowners in carrying out candidate conservation agreements or safe harbor agreements.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Electronic Commerce Enhancement Act
of 2000''.

                      TITLE I--ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Commercial transactions on the Internet, whether retail
        business-to-customer or business-to-business, are commonly
        called electronic commerce.
            (2) In the United States, business-to-business transactions
        between small and medium-sized manufacturers and other such
        businesses and their suppliers is rapidly growing, as many of
        these businesses begin to use Internet connections for supply-
        chain management, after-sales support, and payments.
            (3) Small and medium-sized manufacturers and other such
        businesses play a critical role in the United States economy.
            (4) Electronic commerce can help small and medium-sized
        manufacturers and other such businesses develop new products
        and markets, interact more quickly and efficiently with
        suppliers and customers, and improve productivity by increasing
        efficiency and reducing transaction costs and paperwork. Small
        and medium-sized manufacturers and other such businesses who
        fully exploit the potential of electronic commerce activities
        can use it to interact with customers, suppliers, and the
        public, and for external support functions such as personnel
        services and employee training.
            (5) The National Institute of Standards and Technology's
        Manufacturing Extension Partnership program has a successful
        record of assisting small and medium-sized manufacturers and
        other such businesses. In addition, the Manufacturing Extension
        Partnership program, working with the Small Business
        Administration, successfully assisted United States small
        enterprises in remediating their Y2K computer problems.
            (6) A critical element of electronic commerce is the
        ability of different electronic commerce systems to exchange
        information. The continued growth of electronic commerce will
        be enhanced by the development of private voluntary
        interoperability standards and testbeds to ensure the
        compatibility of different systems.

SEC. 102. REPORT ON THE UTILIZATION OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE.

    (a) Advisory Panel.--The Director of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (in this title referred to as the
``Director'') shall establish an Advisory Panel to report on the
challenges facing small and medium-sized manufacturers and other such
businesses in integrating and utilizing electronic commerce
technologies and business practices. The Advisory Panel shall be
comprised of representatives of the Technology Administration, the
National Institute of Standards and Technology's Manufacturing
Extension Partnership program established under sections 25 and 26 of
the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 278k

Authorizes the Director to prescribe reasonable minimum standards for benefits offered by such plans, including a prohibition against excluding or penalizing an employee for a preexisting condition.

Requires individuals eligible for coverage under a disability insurance plan to be responsible for 100% of the premiums for the coverage offered.

Establishes in the Employees' Life Insurance Fund a Non-Work Related Disability Insurance Administrative Account, which shall be available to OPM to defray reasonable expenses incurred in administering this Act and to which contracted carriers shall make contributions necessary to cover such expenses.

SECTION 1. PURPOSE.

    It is the purpose of this Act to ensure that Federal funding is
provided to support and sustain the longstanding Federal mandate
requiring Fort Lewis College in the State of Colorado to waive tuition
charges for each Indian student it admits to an undergraduate program,
including the waiver of tuition charges for Indian students who are not
residents of the State of Colorado.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) Fort Lewis College in the State of Colorado is a
        signature school for Indian students from throughout the Nation
        and graduates more Indian students than any other baccalaureate
        institution of higher education;
            (2) in 2009, Fort Lewis College awarded 95 degrees in
        science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to Indian
        students, representing 13.5 percent of degrees awarded by
        baccalaureate institutions of higher education to Indian
        students, more degrees than any other comparable baccalaureate
        institution in the Nation;
            (3) as of the 2010-11 academic year, Fort Lewis College
        provides federally mandated tuition-free education to
        approximately 786 Indian students from 124 different Indian
        tribes and 34 different States, representing approximately 20
        percent of the overall student population at this non-tribal
        institution of higher education that serves Indian students;
            (4) the Federal mandate to provide tuition-free education
        to Indian students was first placed upon the State of Colorado
        under section 5 of the Act of April 4, 1910 (36 Stat. 273,
        chapter 140), as a condition of the transfer of the land,
        buildings, and fixtures comprising Fort Lewis School, which had
        been federally operated;
            (5) the amount of funds expended by the State of Colorado
        to meet the waiver of tuition obligations under section 5 of
        the Act of April 4, 1910 (36 Stat. 273, chapter 140), for all
        Indian students, both out-of-State and in-State, far exceeds
        the value of the land, buildings, and fixtures that the State
        of Colorado holds for the benefit of Fort Lewis College;
            (6) the State of Colorado has expended more than
        $110,000,000 in the past 25 years to meet the costs of the
        tuition waivers for Indian students at Fort Lewis College from
        44 different States; and
            (7) the federally mandated tuition waiver program for
        Indian students at Fort Lewis College is at risk of being
        reduced by the severe budget constraints of the State of
        Colorado, thereby jeopardizing the education of many talented
        Indian students from around the Nation, in present and future
        classes.

SEC. 3. STATE RELIEF FROM FEDERAL MANDATE.

    (a) Amount of Payment.--
            (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), for fiscal year

        Indian students who are not residents of the State of Colorado
        and who are enrolled in Fort Lewis College for the academic
        year ending before the beginning of such fiscal year.
            (2) Limitation.--The amount paid to Fort Lewis College for
        each fiscal year under paragraph (1) may not exceed the amount
        equal to the charges for tuition for all Indian students who
        were not residents of the State of Colorado and who were
        enrolled in Fort Lewis College for academic year 2010-2011.
    (b) Treatment of Payment.--Any amounts received under this section
shall be treated as a reimbursement from the State of Colorado to Fort
Lewis College for complying with the requirement of section 5 of the
Act of April 4, 1910 (36 Stat. 273, chapter 140), to admit Indian
students free of charge of tuition.
    (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act shall be construed
to relieve the State of Colorado from reimbursing, for purposes of
complying with the requirements of section 5 of the Act of April 4,
1910 (36 Stat. 273, chapter 140), Fort Lewis College for each academic
year--
            (1) with respect to Indian students who are not residents
        of the State of Colorado and who are enrolled in Fort Lewis
        College, any amount of charges for tuition for such students
        that exceeds the amount received under this section for such
        academic year; and
            (2) with respect to Indian students who are residents of
        the State of Colorado and who are enrolled in Fort Lewis
        College, an amount equal to the charges for tuition for such
        students for such academic year.
    (d) Definition.--In this section, the term ``Indian students''
refers to the term ``Indian pupils'' in section 5 of the Act of April
4, 1910 (36 Stat. 269, chapter 140).
    (e) Funding.--There are authorized to be appropriated, and there
are appropriated (in addition to any other amounts appropriated to
carry out this section and out of any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated), such sums as may be necessary to carry out
this section.

Output:
Requires the Secretary of Education, beginning in FY2011, to pay to Fort Lewis College in Colorado an amount equal to the charges for tuition for enrolled Indian students who are not Colorado residents.
