    Sec. 621. (a) <<NOTE: Firearms.>> Tracing studies conducted by the 
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are released without 
adequate disclaimers regarding the limitations of the data.

    (b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shall 
include in all such data releases, language similar to the following 
that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to draw broad 
conclusions about firearms-related crime:
            (1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement 
        authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale 
        and possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies 
        may request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons 
        are not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all 
        firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced 
        are used in crime.

[[Page 119 STAT. 2342]]

            (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for 
        purposes of determining which types, makes or models of firearms 
        are used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not 
        constitute a random sample and should not be considered 
        representative of the larger universe of all firearms used by 
        criminals, or any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally 
        traced to the first retail seller, and sources reported for 
        firearms traced do not necessarily represent the sources or 
        methods by which firearms in general are acquired for use in 
        crime.

    Sec. 622. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be used by 
the Federal Communications Commission to modify, amend, or change its 
rules or regulations for universal service support payments to implement 
the February 27, 2004 recommendations of the Federal-State Joint Board 
on Universal Service regarding single connection or primary line 
restrictions on universal service support payments.
    Sec. 623. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available 
under this Act may be used to issue patents on claims directed to or

this Act shall be used in any way whatsoever to support or justify the 
use of torture by any official or contract employee of the United States 
Government.

    Sec. 625. Of the amounts made available in this Act, $393,616,321 
from ``Department of State''; $27,938,072 from ``Department of 
Justice''; $14,107,754 from ``Department of Commerce''; $426,314 from 
``United States Trade Representative''; $575,116 from ``Broadcasting 
Board of Governors''; $291,855 from ``National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration''; and $79,754 from ``National Science Foundation'' shall

to Congress that such payments would not result in the loss of skills 
related to the safety of the Space Shuttle or the International Space 
Station or to the conduct of independent safety oversight in the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

    Sec. 627. Notwithstanding 40 U.S.C. 524, 571, and 572, the 
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration may

    Sec.  628. (a) In General.--The <<NOTE: President. Guidelines. 42 
USC 2451 note.>> President of the United States through his designee the 
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and 
in consultation with other Federal agencies shall develop a national 
aeronautics policy to guide the aeronautics programs of the 
Administration through 2020.

    (b) Content.--At a minimum, the national aeronautics policy shall 
describe--
            (1) the priority areas of research for aeronautics through 
        fiscal year 2011;
            (2) the basis on which and the process by which priorities 
        for ensuing fiscal years will be selected;
            (3) the facilities and personnel needed to carry out the 
        program through fiscal year 2011; and

[[Page 119 STAT. 2343]]

            (4) the budget assumptions on which the national aeronautics 
        policy is based.

    (c) Considerations.--In <<NOTE: President.>> developing the national 
aeronautics policy, the President shall consider the following 
questions, which shall be discussed in the policy statement--
            (1) the extent to which NASA should focus on long-term, 
        high-risk research or more incremental research or both and the 
        expected impact on the U.S. aircraft and airline industries of 
        those decisions;
            (2) the extent to which NASA should address military and 
        commercial needs;
            (3) how NASA will coordinate its aeronautics program with 
        other Federal agencies; and
            (4) the extent to which NASA will fund university research 
        and the expected impact of that funding on the supply of U.S. 
        workers for the aeronautics industry.

    (d) Consultation.--In developing the national aeronautics policy, 
the Administrator shall consult widely with academic and industry 
experts and with other Federal agencies. The Administrator may enter 
into an arrangement with the National Academy of Sciences to help 
develop the national aeronautics policy.
    (e) Schedule.--The Administrator shall submit the new national 
aeronautics policy to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
and to the House Committee on Science and the Senate Committee on 
Commerce, Science, and Transportation within one year of enactment of 
this Act. The Administrator shall make available to the Congress any 
study done by a non-governmental entity that was used in the development 
of the national aeronautics policy.
    Sec. 629. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or treaty, 
none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available under this 
Act or any other Act may be expended or obligated by a department, 
agency, or instrumentality of the United States to pay administrative 
expenses or to compensate an officer or employee of the United States in 
connection with requiring an export license for the export to Canada of 
components, parts, accessories or attachments for firearms listed in 
Category I, section 121.1 of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations 
(International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it 
existed on April 1, 2005) with a total value not exceeding $500 
wholesale in any transaction, provided that the conditions of subsection 
(b) of this section are met by the exporting party for such articles.
    (b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export license--
            (1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any Shipper's 
        Export Declaration or notification letter required by law, or 
        from being otherwise eligible under the laws of the United 
        States to possess, ship, transport, or export the articles 
        enumerated in subsection (a); and
            (2) does not permit the export without a license of--
                    (A) fully automatic firearms and components and 
                parts for such firearms, other than for end use by the 
                Federal Government, or a Provincial or Municipal 
                Government of Canada;
                    (B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or 
                complete breech mechanisms for any firearm listed in 
                Category I, other than for end use by the Federal 
                Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of 
                Canada; or

[[Page 119 STAT. 2344]]

                    (C) articles for export from Canada to another 
                foreign destination.

    (c) <<NOTE: Canada.>> In accordance with this section, the District 
Directors of Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or 
temporary export without a license of any unclassified articles 
specified in subsection (a) to Canada for end use in Canada or return to 
the United States, or temporary import of Canadian-origin items from 
Canada for end use in the United States or return to Canada for a 
Canadian citizen.

    (d) <<NOTE: President. Federal Register, publication.>> The 
President may require export licenses under this section on a temporary 
basis if the President determines, upon publication first in the Federal 
Register, that the Government of Canada has implemented or maintained 
inadequate import controls for the articles specified in subsection (a), 
such that a significant diversion of such articles has and continues to 
take place for use in international terrorism or in the escalation of a 
conflict in another nation. <<NOTE: President.>> The President shall 
terminate the requirements of a license when reasons for the temporary 
requirements have ceased.

    Sec. 630. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no department, 
agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving appropriated 
funds under this Act or any other Act shall obligate or expend in any 
way such funds to pay administrative expenses or the compensation of any 
officer or employee of the United States to deny any application 
submitted pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B) and qualified pursuant to 
27 CFR Sec. 478.112 or .113, for a permit to import United States origin 
``curios or relics'' firearms, parts, or ammunition.
    Sec. 631. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used 
to include in any new bilateral or multilateral trade agreement the text 
of--
            (1) paragraph 2 of article 16.7 of the United States-
        Singapore Free Trade Agreement;
            (2) paragraph 4 of article 17.9 of the United States-

        Free Trade Agreement.

    Sec. 632. <<NOTE: Gasoline and petroleum.>> Of the funds 
appropriated to the Federal Trade Commission by this Act, not less than 
$1,000,000 shall be used by the Commission to conduct an immediate 
investigation into nationwide gasoline prices in the aftermath of 
Hurricane Katrina: Provided, That the investigation shall include: (1) 
any evidence of price-gouging by companies with total United States 
wholesale sales of gasoline and petroleum distillates for calendar 2004 
in excess of $500,000,000 and by any retail distributor of gasoline and 
petroleum distillates against which multiple formal complaints (that 
identify the location of a particular retail distributor and provide 
contact information for the complainant) of price-gouging were filed in 
August or September, 2005, with a Federal or State consumer protection 
agency; (2) a comparison of, and an explanation of the reasons for 
changes in, profit levels of such companies during the 12-month period 
ending on August 31, 2005, and their profit levels for the month of 
September, 2005, including information for particular companies on a 
basis that does not permit the identification of any company to which 
the information relates; (3) a summary of tax expenditures (as defined 
in section 3(3) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act 
of 1974 (2

[[Page 119 STAT. 2345]]

prices and gasoline price-gouging on economic activity in the United 
States; and (5) the overall cost of increased gasoline prices and 
gasoline price-gouging to the economy, including the impact on 
consumers' purchasing power in both declared State and National disaster 
areas and elsewhere: Provided further, That, in conducting its 
investigation, the Commission shall treat as evidence of price-gouging 
any finding that the average price of gasoline available for sale to the 
public in September, 2005, or thereafter in a market area located in an 
area designated as a State or National disaster area because of 
Hurricane Katrina, or in any other area where price-gouging complaints 
have been filed because of Hurricane Katrina with a Federal or State 
consumer protection agency, exceeded the average price of such gasoline 
in that area for the month of August, 2005, unless the Commission finds 
substantial evidence that the increase is substantially attributable to 
additional costs in connection with the production, transportation, 
delivery, and sale of gasoline in that area or to national or 
international market trends: Provided 
further, <<NOTE: Notification.>> That in any areas of markets in which 
the Commission determines price increases are due to factors other than 
the additional costs, it shall also notify the appropriate State agency 
of its <<NOTE: Reports. Deadlines.>> findings: Provided further, That 
the Commission shall provide information on the progress of the 
investigation to the Senate and House Appropriations Committees, the 
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and the House

written interim report 90 days after such date, and shall transmit a 
final report to those Committees, together with its findings and 
recommendations, no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act: Provided further, That the Commission shall transmit 
recommendations, based on its findings, to the Congress for any 
legislation necessary to protect consumers from gasoline price-gouging 
in both State and National disaster areas and elsewhere: Provided 
further, That chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code, does not apply 
to the collection of information for the investigation required by this 
section: Provided further, That if, during the investigation, the 
Commission obtains evidence that a person may have violated a criminal 
law, the Commission may transmit that evidence to appropriate Federal or 
State authorities: Provided further, That nothing in this section 
affects any other authority of the Commission to disclose information.

            (3) Energy.--The effect of the large and growing economy of 
        the People's Republic of China on world energy supplies and the
