                          Purpose and Summary

    H.R. 1132, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 
Detection Program Reauthorization of 2007, amends the Public 
Health Service Act to provide a five-year reauthorization of 
the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 
(NBCCEDP), and in addition, to provide waivers relating to 
grants for preventive health measures concerning breast and 
cervical cancers.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    Established by Congress in 1991, the NBCCEDP provides free 
and low-cost breast and cervical cancer screenings to low-
income, minority, or uninsured women. Following Federal 
clinical guidelines, the program targets women between the ages 
of 40 to 64 for breast cancer screening and between the ages of 
18 to 64 for cervical cancer screening. Services offered by the 
program include mammograms, clinical breast examinations, 
Papanikolaou or ``Pap'' tests, surgical consultations, and 
diagnostic testing. Administered by the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC), the NBCCEDP operates in all 50 
States, four U.S. territories, the District of Columbia, and 13 
American Indian and Alaska Native organizations.
    Partnering with State, local, and private entities, the 
NBCCEDP also provides education and outreach services to 
diverse populations of women. Research indicates that racial 
and ethnic minority women are less likely to have access to 
information about breast cancer or the financial resources to 
pay for important health services, including mammograms. Thus, 
the NBCCEDP makes a special effort to target racial and ethnic 
minority women for screening, outreach, and education. As a 
result, over half of all women screened by the program are 
ethnic and racial minorities.
    According to the CDC, breast cancer is the second most 
commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. It is second 
only to lung cancer as the most common cause of death among 
women. Breast cancer mortality has steadily decreased since the 
late 1980s, a trend that experts attribute to increased 
mammography screening. It is estimated that timely mammography 
screening of all women over the age of 40 could prevent between 
13 to 15 percent of all deaths from breast cancer. When breast 
cancer is detected early, while still confined to the breast, 
the five-year survival rate is more than 95 percent. Similarly, 
cervical cancer was once the leading cause of death for women 
in the United States. Since the 1950s, however, there has been 
a 90 percent reduction in the mortality rate for cervical 
cancer. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH) has attributed this decline to 
effective Pap smear screening.
    In recognition of the clear value of breast and cervical 
cancer screenings in reducing mortality from these diseases, 
the NBCCEDP is part of a multifaceted effort to provide access 
to those women at highest risk. Since 1991, the NBCCEDP has 
served over 2.5 million women, provided over 5.8 million 
screening examinations, including more than 2.8 million 
mammograms, and diagnosed more than 22,000 breast cancers and 
1,500 cervical cancers. The NBCCEDP currently performs 
screening on more than 600,000 women annually.
    In 2000, Congress passed the Breast and Cervical Cancer 
Treatment and Prevention Act. That legislation gave States the 
option to provide Medicaid coverage for treatment of women 
diagnosed with cancer through the NBCCEDP. In 2002, Congress 
passed the Native American Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment 
Technical Amendment Act, which added Native American women to 
the optional Medicaid eligibility category. Currently, all 50 
States plus the District of Columbia have elected this option.
    Under current law, funded programs must spend at least 60 
percent of the cooperative agreement funds awarded on 
screening, referral, and follow-up services. The remaining 40 
percent of funds awarded may be allocated toward other 
infrastructure development activities, including public 
education, professional education, quality assurance, and 
surveillance and evaluation efforts. While the emphasis on 
service provision required by the 60/40 split is appropriate 
for the vast majority of grantees, unique challenges exist in 
implementing the required 60/40 split for programs serving 
smaller populations. The cap on program activities that are not 
administrative, particularly outreach and client recruitment, 
has made it difficult to reach some eligible women, especially 
in rural States. For this reason, H.R. 1132 would allow for a 
grant 60/40 requirement waiver for no more than five States.
    This legislation would require that programs requesting a 
waiver provide to the Secretary of Health and Human Services 
justification and documentation that the number of women who 
receive preventive health and early detection services will 
increase as a result of a 60/40 requirement waiver. The 60/40 
requirement waiver will have a duration that is not less than 
one year but not more than two years. Additionally, H.R. 1132 
allows the Secretary of HHS to grant a State a waiver 
extension, upon their request, for a period that is not less 
than one year but not more than two years.
    Since the program's inception in 1991, the NBCCEDP has 
contributed to an 18 percent increase in mammography use among 
women over age 50. The Committee generally affirms the 
recommendations of the Institute of Medicine, the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services through its Trans-HHS 
Cancer Health Disparities Progress Review Group, and such 
patient advocacy organizations such as the American Cancer 
Society and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, that 
increased funds for the NBCCEDP are justified so that more 
women may have access to these vital cancer screening services. 
As a result, the bill provides an increase in the program's 
authorized funding level for fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
    At the time of Committee consideration, this bill had 66 
cosponsors and is supported by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 
Foundation and the American Cancer Society.

                                Hearings

by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to 
section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

                  Congressional Budget Office Estimate

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the following is the cost estimate 
provided by the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 
402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                    Washington, DC, March 23, 2007.
Hon. John D. Dingell,
Chairman, Committee on Energy and Commerce,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 1132, the National 
Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 
Reauthorization Act of 2007.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Tim 
Gronniger.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Peter R. Orszag.
    Enclosure.

H.R. 1132--National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 
        Reauthorization Act of 2007

    H.R. 1132 would modify the Public Health Service Act to 
authorize funding for programs to detect breast and cervical 
cancer. The bill also would set rules and conditions for grants 
to states for cervical and breast cancer detection programs, 
and would specify circumstances under which the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services could waive those rules. The bill 
would authorize the appropriation of $225 million in 2008 and 
$1.25 billion over the 2008-2012 period. ($202 million was 
appropriated for those programs for 2007.)
    Based on historical spending patterns for those activities, 
and assuming appropriation of the specified amounts, CBO 
estimates that implementing H.R. 1132 would cost $86 million in 
2008 and $1 billion over the 2008-2012 period. Enacting H.R. 
1132 would not affect direct spending or receipts.
    H.R. 1132 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, and in 
some cases it would ease the conditions of grants that states 
receive for programs to detect breast and cervical cancer.
    The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 1132 is shown in the 
following table. The costs of this legislation fall within 
budget function 550 (health).

             Section-by-Section Analysis of the Legislation

Section 1. Short title

    Section 1 establishes the short title as the ``National 
Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 
Reauthorization Act of 2007.''

Section 2. National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program

    Section 2 amends title XV of the Public Health Service Act 
(42 U.S.C. 300k et seq.) by updating the current law respecting 
the existing coordinating committee regarding year 2000 health 
objectives from 2000 health objectives to year 2020 health 
objectives.
    Section 2 provides that the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services may waive the 60/40 funding requirement for no more 
than five States if the following conditions apply: (1) the 
State will use the waiver to leverage non-Federal funds; (2) 
keeping the 60/40 requirement in place will result in a barrier 
to women seeking services; (3) the Secretary determines that 
granting such a waiver will increase the number of women in the 
State that receive screening services; (4) the State will 
maintain the average annual level of State fiscal year 
expenditures for screening services for the period for which 
the waiver is granted at a level not less than the level of the 
State fiscal year expenditures for such services and activities 
for the fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year for which 
the waiver is granted or at the option of the State, and upon 
approval by the Secretary, the average level of the State 
expenditures for such services for the 3-fiscal-year period 
preceding the first fiscal year for which the waiver is 
granted; and (5) granting the waiver will not adversely affect 
the quality of services available.
    Section 2 provides that waivers will last for a period that 
is not less than one year but not more than two years. The 
Secretary may grant a renewal of a waiver for an additional 
period, of not less than one year but not more than two years, 
if the following applies: (1) without a waiver extension, a 
barrier to eligible women will result; (2) the State will use 
the waiver to leverage non-Federal funds; (3) the waiver has 
increased, and will continue to increase, the number of women 
receiving services; (4) the waiver has not adversely affected 
the quality of services available; and (5) the State has 
maintained the average annual level of fiscal expenditures for 
the screening services for the fiscal year preceding the first 
fiscal year for which the waiver was granted or, with approval 
by the Secretary, the average level of the State expenditures 
for the 3-fiscal-year period preceding the first fiscal year 
for which the waiver was granted.
    Section 2 also includes reporting requirements to ensure 
that the waivers are achieving their intended results. To this 
end, HHS will include the following in its required reports: 
(1) a description of the total amount of dollars leveraged 
annually from non-Federal entities in States that receive a 
waiver; (2) for States that receive waivers, the percentage of 
the grant that is spent on each service must be specified; (3) 
States receiving waivers must be specified; and (4) States that 
receive waivers must include a description of the number of 
women receiving services as well as the average annual level of 
State fiscal expenditures for these services for the year 
preceding the first year for which the waiver was granted. 
Furthermore, Section 2 includes a limitation requiring that a 
waiver shall not be used to increase the number of salaried 
employees.
    Section 2 also includes a sunset whereby the Secretary may 
not grant a waiver or extension after September 30, 2012.
    Section 2 authorizes appropriations of $225,000,000 for 
fiscal year 2008; $245,000,000 for fiscal year 2009; 
$250,000,000 for fiscal year 2010; $255,000,000 for fiscal year 
2011; and $275,000,000 for fiscal year 2012.

          (1) In general.--The Secretary shall establish a 
        demonstration project under which the Secretary may 
        waive the requirements of paragraphs (1) and (4) of

                of the services or activities described in 
                paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 1501(a);
                  (B) the application of such requirement would 
                result in a barrier to the enrollment of

                          (i) demonstrates, to the satisfaction 
                        of the Secretary, the manner in which 
                        the State will use such waiver to 
                        expand the level of screening and 
                        follow-up services provided immediately 
                        prior to the date on which the waiver 
                        is granted; and
                          (ii) provides assurances, 
                        satisfactory to the Secretary, that the 
                        State will, on an annual basis, 
                        demonstrate, through such documentation 
                        as the Secretary may require, that the 
                        State has used such waiver as described 
                        in clause (i);
                  (D) the State involved submits to the 
                Secretary--
                          (i) assurances, satisfactory to the 
                        Secretary, that the State will maintain 
                        the average annual level of State 
                        fiscal year expenditures for the 
                        services and activities described in 
                        paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 
                        1501(a) for the period for which the 
                        waiver is granted, and for the period 
                        for which any extension of such wavier 
                        is granted, at a level that is not less 
                        than--
                                  (I) the level of the State 
                                fiscal year expenditures for 
                                such services and activities 
                                for the fiscal year preceding 
                                the first fiscal year for which 
                                the waiver is granted; or
                                  (II) at the option of the 
                                State and upon approval by the 
                                Secretary, the average level of 
                                the State expenditures for such 
                                services and activities for the 
                                3-fiscal year period preceding 
                                the first fiscal year for which 
                                the waiver is granted; and
                          (ii) a plan, satisfactory to the 
                        Secretary, for maintaining the level of 
                        activities carried out under the waiver 
                        after the expiration of the waiver and 
                        any extension of such waiver;
                  (E) the Secretary finds that granting such a 
                waiver to a State will increase the number of 
                women in the State that receive each of the 
                services or activities described in paragraphs 
                (1) and (2) of section 1501(a), including 
                making available screening procedures for both 
                breast and cervical cancers; and
                  (F) the Secretary finds that granting such a 
                waiver to a State will not adversely affect the 
                quality of each of the services or activities 
                described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 
                1501(a).
          (2) Duration of waiver.--
                  (A) In general.--In granting waivers under 
                paragraph (1), the Secretary--
                          (i) shall grant such waivers for a 
                        period that is not less than 1 year but 
                        not more than 2 years; and
                          (ii) upon request of a State, may 
                        extend a waiver for an additional 
                        period that is not less than 1 year but 
                        not more than 2 years in accordance 
                        with subparagraph (B).

                (A)(i), review performance under the waiver and 
                may extend the waiver for an additional period

                          (ii) the State requesting such 
                        extended waiver will use the waiver to

                          (iii) the waiver has increased, and 
                        will continue to increase, the number

                        described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of 
                        section 1501(a); and
                          (v) the State has maintained the
