Fellowship Program Act of 2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Nearly one-third of the population of the United States
        participates in fish and wildlife-related recreation annually.
        In 2001, 82 million people participated in wildlife-related
        recreation, including sport angling, hunting, birding,
        photography, and other activities.
            (2) Vibrant, healthy, and well-managed natural living
        resources are essential to obtaining the economic benefits
        derived from them. Wildlife-related recreation contributes
        significantly to the United States economy. In 2001, the
        economic impact of fishing and hunting was $116,000,000,000 and
        $68,000,000,000, respectively. In addition, approximately
        1,000,000 jobs were created as a result of such recreation.
            (3) There are over 50 university programs, dozens of State
        and Federal agencies, and over $1 billion dedicated to
        fisheries and wildlife research, management, and conservation.
            (4) Expertise in freshwater and anadromous fisheries and
        wildlife policy is paramount to the future effective management
        of the Nation's fish and wildlife resources.
            (5) The National Sea Grant John A. Knauss Fellowship has
        been successful in promoting stewardship of the Nation's
        natural marine and coastal resources. Since 1979, over 528
        marine scientists have been awarded fellowships that have
        enabled them to bring their scientific expertise to the Federal
        agencies and the Congress while obtaining valuable policy
        experience. Many of the fellows continue to serve as marine
        policy professionals in the Federal Government, the private
        sector, and the university research community.
            (6) Currently no formal mechanism exists to secure
        individuals with specific expertise in freshwater and
        anadromous fisheries, wildlife, or conservation biology, or
        related natural resource management, while simultaneously
        providing valuable policy experience within the Federal
        Government and the Congress. Such a mechanism would support and
        enhance stewardship of the Nation's fish and wildlife.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Worker Protection Against
Combustible Dust Explosions and Fires Act of 2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) An emergency exists concerning worker exposure to
        combustible dust explosions and fires, and there is a
        significant risk of death or severe injury to workers employed
        at facilities where combustible dusts are present.
            (2) Following 3 catastrophic dust explosions that killed 14
        workers in 2003, the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation
        Board (CSB) issued a report in November 2006, which identified
        281 combustible dust incidents between 1980 and 2005 that
        killed 119 workers and injured 718. The CSB concluded that
        ``combustible dust explosions are a serious hazard in American
        industry''. A quarter of the explosions occurred at food
        industry facilities, including sugar plants.
            (3) In November 2006, the CSB recommended that the
        Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issue a
        standard designed to prevent combustible dust fires and
        explosions in general industry, based on current National Fire
        Protection Association (NFPA) dust explosion standards.
            (4) Fourteen workers were killed and more than 38 seriously
        injured in a catastrophic combustible dust explosion at
        Imperial Sugar in Port Wentworth, Georgia on February 7, 2008.
            (5) An investigation by the CSB found that the explosion at
        Imperial Sugar was fueled by a massive accumulation of sugar
        dust throughout the packaging building, triggering a series of
        secondary explosions throughout the factory.
            (6) The CSB's final report of September 24, 2009, regarding
        the Imperial Sugar Refinery explosion reiterated its previous
        recommendation from November 2006 that OSHA proceed
        expeditiously ``to promulgate a comprehensive standard to
        reduce or eliminate hazards from fire and explosion from
        combustible powders and dust''.
            (7) Explosions continue to injure workers and cause
        property damage. In the 3 years since the February 7, 2008,
        explosion at Imperial Sugar, there have been 24 additional
        combustible dust explosions or fires resulting in 4 deaths and
        65 injuries to workers through February 7, 2011, according to
        data released by the Chemical Safety Board.
            (8) On October 21, 2009, OSHA issued an advance notice of
        proposed rulemaking in response to the CSB's recommendation;
        however, a final rule will take at least 4 more years, during
        which it is foreseeable that additional workers will be
        seriously injured or killed.
            (9) OSHA issued a grain handling facilities standard (29
        C.F.R. 1910.272) in 1987 that has proven highly effective in
        reducing the risk of combustible grain dust explosions,
        according to an OSHA evaluation.
            (10) No OSHA standard comprehensively addresses combustible
        dust explosion hazards in general industry.
            (11) Voluntary NFPA standards exist that, when implemented,
        effectively reduce the likelihood and impact of combustible
        dust explosions. In particular--
                    (A) certain requirements currently apply to
                existing establishments, which NFPA refers to as a
                ``retroactive'' application, and include hazard
                assessment, housekeeping, control of static
                electricity, control of open flames and sparks, use of
                certain tools, employee training, and requirements for
                inspection and maintenance of equipment;
                    (B) other requirements include conventional
                ignition source control and dust emission control
                technologies, such as ventilation systems that capture
                fugitive dust, and enclosure of dust generating
                processes;
                    (C) many employers currently implement such
                requirements from NFPA standards to address combustible
                dust hazards in the workplace; and
                    (D) many employers maintain written combustible
                dust safety programs and involve employees in
                implementing the program, which are important aspects
                of a comprehensive combustible dust hazard control
                system.
            (12) Implementation of such means of hazard control is both
        technologically and economically feasible and would
        substantially reduce risks related to combustible dust fires
        and explosions to workers.

SEC. 3. ISSUANCE OF INTERIM STANDARD ON COMBUSTIBLE DUST.

    (a) Application and Rulemaking.--Not later than 1 year after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Labor shall promulgate
an interim final standard regulating occupational exposure to
combustible dust hazards. The interim final standard shall, at a
minimum, apply to manufacturing, processing, blending, conveying,
repackaging, and handling of combustible particulate solids and their

dried blood), plastics, sulfur, wood, rubber, furniture, textiles,
pesticides, pharmaceuticals, fibers, dyes, coal, metals (such as
aluminum, chromium, iron, magnesium, and zinc), fossil fuels, and
others determined by the Secretary, but shall not apply to processes
already covered by the occupational safety and health standard on grain
facilities contained in section 1910.272 of title 29, Code of Federal
Regulations.
    (b) Application.--The interim final standard required under this
section shall be based on those portions of the National Fire
Protection Association Standards in effect on the date of enactment of
this Act that--
            (1) apply to existing facilities; or
            (2) call for source and dust emission control technologies,
        such as ventilation systems that capture fugitive dust, and
        enclosure of dust generating processes.
    (c) Requirements.--The interim final standard required under this
section shall include the following elements:
            (1) Requirements for hazard assessment to identify,
        evaluate, and control combustible dust hazards.
            (2) Requirements for a written program that includes
        provisions for hazardous dust inspection, testing, hot work,
        ignition control, and housekeeping, including the frequency and
        method or methods used to minimize accumulations of combustible
        dust on ledges, floors, equipment, and other exposed surfaces.
            (3) Requirements for engineering controls, administrative
        controls, and operating procedures, including means to control
        fugitive dust emissions and ignition sources, and the safe use
        and maintenance of process equipment and dust collection
        systems and filters.
            (4) Requirements for workplace inspection and housekeeping
        to prevent accumulation of combustible dust in places of
        employment in such depths that it can present explosion,
        deflagration, or other fire hazards, including safe methods of

              HOSPITAL STAYS.

    (a) In General.--
            (1) Development of criteria.--The Secretary shall develop
        appropriate criteria with regard to the two-midnight rule (as
        defined in subsection (e)) for payment under the Medicare
        program under title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
        1395 et seq.) for a short inpatient hospital stay (as defined
        in such subsection).
            (2) Requirements.--The criteria developed under paragraph
        (1) shall--
                    (A) account for medical necessity and the
                appropriateness of an inpatient stay that is less than
                the two-midnight benchmark; and
                    (B) subject to paragraph (3), be developed in
                consultation with interested stakeholders.

        2015.
    (b) Development of Short Inpatient Hospital Stay Payment
Methodology.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall develop a payment
        methodology under the Medicare program under title XVIII of the
        Social Security Act for hospitals for short inpatient hospital
        stays. Such methodology--
                    (A) shall be implemented in a budget neutral
                manner;
                    (B) may be a reduced payment amount for such
                inpatient hospital services than would otherwise apply
                if paid for under section 1886(d) of the Social
                Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395ww(d)) or be an alternative
                payment methodology; and
                    (C) shall take into consideration the criteria
                developed under subsection (a).
            (2) Timeframe.--The Secretary shall promulgate such

                10 codes to relevant CPT codes, and the relevant CPT
                codes to relevant ICD-10 codes, in order to permit
                comparisons of inpatient hospital services, for which

        payment for inpatient hospital services furnished by a
        hospital, or inpatient critical access hospital services
        furnished by a critical access hospital, for which payment may

                limits.--The Secretary may not increase the sample of
                claims selected for prepayment review under the
                Medicare Probe and Educate program above the number and
                type established by the Secretary under such program as

Output: Two-Midnight Rule Coordination and Improvement Act of 2014 - Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop appropriate criteria with regard to the two-midnight rule for payment under title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act for a short inpatient hospital stay. (The two-midnight rule allows Medicare coverage of only hospital stays for which a physician admits to a hospital a beneficiary expected to require care that crosses two midnights, but generally denies coverage of care expected to require less than a two-midnight stay.) Requires the criteria developed by the Secretary to: (1) account for medical necessity and the appropriateness of an inpatient stay that is less than the two-midnight benchmark, and (2) be developed in consultation with interested stakeholders. Directs the Secretary to develop a budget-neutral Medicare payment methodology for hospitals for short inpatient hospital stays. Allows the methodology to be: (1) a reduced payment amount than would otherwise apply to inpatient hospital services if paid for under the Medicare prospective payment schedule, or (2) an alternative payment methodology. Directs the Secretary to develop: (1) general equivalency maps to link the relevant International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD)-10 codes (used to report medical diagnoses and inpatient procedures) to relevant Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, and the relevant CPT codes to relevant ICD-10 codes, in order to permit comparison of inpatient hospital services and hospital outpatient department services; and (2) a second crosswalk between Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) codes for inpatient hospital services and Ambulatory Payment Class (APC) codes for outpatient hospital services. Prohibits the Secretary from enforcing the two-midnight rule for admissions occurring: (1) before October 1, 2014; and (2) on or after that date until October 1, 2015, or the new two-midnight rule criteria are implemented, if sooner (applicable date). Prohibits a Medicare review contractor from denying a claim for inpatient hospital services furnished by a hospital, or inpatient critical access hospital services furnished by a critical access hospital, on the basis of the two-midnight rule for discharges occurring before the applicable date for: (1) medical necessity due to the length of an inpatient stay in such hospital or due to a determination that the services could have been provided on an outpatient basis; or (2) requirements for orders, certifications, or recertifications, and associated documentation relating to such matters. Declares that nothing in this Act shall be construed to preclude the Secretary from continuing the conduct by Medicare administrative contractors of the Medicare Probe and Educate program for hospital admissions during the delayed enforcement of the two-midnight rule.  Prohibits the Secretary from increasing the sample of claims selected for prepayment review under the Medicare Probe and Educate program above the number and type established by the Secretary as of November 4, 2013, such as 10 claims for most hospitals and 25 claims for large hospitals.
