    With respect to chimpanzees that have been used, or were bred or
purchased for use, in research conducted or supported by the National
Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, or other
agencies of the Federal Government, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall, not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act, submit to the Congress a report providing the following
information:
            (1) The number of such chimpanzees in the United States,
        whether owned or held by the Federal Government, any of the
        States, or private entities.
            (2) An identification of any requirement imposed by the
        Federal Government that, as a condition of the use of such a
        chimpanzee in research by a non-Federal entity--
                    (A) fees be paid by the entity to the Federal
                Government for the purpose of providing for the care of
                the chimpanzee (including any fees for long-term care);
                or
                    (B) funds be provided by the entity to a State,
                unit of local government, or private entity for an
                endowment or other financial account whose purpose is
                to provide for the care of the chimpanzee (including
                any funds provided for long-term care).
            (3) An accounting for fiscal years 1997 and 1998 of all
        fees paid and funds provided by non-Federal entities pursuant
        to requirements described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of
        paragraph (2).
            (4) In the case of such fees, a specification of whether
        the fees were available to the Secretary (or other Federal
        officials) pursuant to annual appropriations Acts or pursuant
        to permanent appropriations.

Output: Postresearch Chimpanzee Care Act - Amends title IV of the Public Health Service Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide for the establishment and operation of a national sanctuary system for all surplus federally owned chimpanzees that are no longer needed in research conducted or supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, or other Federal agencies.  Mandates that any surplus chimpanzee that is not owned by the Federal Government be accepted into the system if the owner transfers title to the chimpanzee to the Federal Government. Provides for standards for permanent retirement of surplus chimpanzees into the system.  Requires such standards to authorize the Secretary to authorize imposition of a fee (except in certain circumstances) for accepting a non-Federal chimpanzee into the system.  Outlines provisions for the awarding of contracts for operation of the system. Provides for funding.

        environmental impact statement for the applicable forest land
        and resource management plan. The procedures under such Act,
        and any review, consultation, or coordination under other laws,
        including the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning
        Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.), Endangered Species Act of
        1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and National Historic
        Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470), shall be completed within one
        year after the Forest Service, in consultation with the North
        Central Idaho resource advisory committee, issues the public
        scoping notice regarding the proposed schedule.
            (2) Resources.--The Forest Service, and any other Federal
        agencies involved in the process described in paragraph (1),
        shall provide sufficient personnel and other resources,
        directly or through contracting, to complete the review,
        consultation, or coordination within the required one-year
        period, and without substantially delaying implementation of
        other forest management activities in Region 1 of the Forest
        Service. The Forest Service and other involved agencies may
        rely upon or use any analysis, documents, or procedures
        previously performed under the National Environmental Policy
        Act of 1969 or other law for any activity in the schedule.
            (3) Effect of failure to complete process.--If any review,
        consultation, or coordination required under the National
        Environmental Policy Act of 1969 or other law has not been
        completed for a schedule within the required one-year period,
        the lack of completion shall not be a basis for challenging or
        delaying submittal, approval, or implementation of an activity
        in the schedule, if the applicable Forest Supervisor, in
        consultation with the advisory panel, finds that sufficient
        review, consultation, and coordination regarding the activity
        has occurred and a sufficient record exists to make a reasoned
        decision regarding approval of the activity.
    (g) Review by Forest Supervisor.--

(Sec. 3) NIST must provide guidance for agencies to incorporate into their information security risk management efforts the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (Framework). Such guidance shall:  describe how the Framework aligns or augments existing agency practices;  identify any areas of conflict or overlap between the Framework and existing cybersecurity requirements;  include a template for federal agencies on how to use the Framework and recommend procedures for streamlining and harmonizing existing and future cybersecurity-related requirements;  recommend other procedures for compliance with cybersecurity reporting, oversight, and policy review; and  be updated to reflect what NIST learns from ongoing research, cybersecurity audits, information compiled by the federal working group, and annual reports. NIST must chair a federal working group to coordinate the development of metrics and tools to measure the effectiveness of the Framework for federal agencies protecting their information and information systems. The federal working group must assist the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in publishing annual reports on agency adoption rates and the effectiveness of the Framework. NIST must initiate an individual cybersecurity audit of certain agencies to assess the extent to which each agency meets information security standards. NIST shall prepare a needs-based plan for the audits that includes: (1) a description of staffing plans, (2) workforce capabilities, (3) methods of conducting such audits, (4) coordination with agencies to support such audits, (5) expected timeframe for the completion of the audits, and (6) other relevant information. NIST must report on the audit of each agency to: (1) OMB, (2) the OSTP, (3) the Government Accountability Office, (4) the agency being audited and its inspector general, and (5) Congress.
