shall conduct an experimental program to test whether
low-power FM radio stations will result in harmful inter-
ference to existing FM radio stations if such stations are
not subject to the minimum distance separations for third-
adjacent channels required by subsection (a). The Com-
mission shall conduct such test in no more than nine FM
radio markets, including urban, suburban, and rural mar-
kets, by waiving the minimum distance separations for
third-adjacent channels for the stations that are the sub-
ject of the experimental program. At least one of the sta-
tions shall be selected for the purpose of evaluating wheth-
er minimum distance separations for third-adjacent chan-

SEC. 635. (a) This section may be cited as ‘‘Amy
Boyer’s Law’’.
(b) Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The inappropriate display, sale, or use of
social security numbers is a significant factor in a
growing range of illegal activities, including fraud,
identity theft, and, in some cases, stalking and other
violent crimes.
(2) Because social security numbers are used to
track financial, health care, and other sensitive in-
formation about individuals, the inappropriate sale
or display of those numbers to the general public
can result in serious invasions of individual privacy
and facilitate the commission of criminal activity.
(3) The Federal Government requires virtually
every individual in the United States to obtain and
maintain a social security number in order to pay
taxes, to qualify for social security benefits, or to
seek employment. An unintended consequence of
these requirements is that social security numbers
have become tools that can be used to facilitate
crime, fraud, and invasions of the privacy of the in-
dividuals to whom the numbers are assigned. Be-
153
•HR 5548 IH1S
cause the Federal Government created and main-
tains the social security number system, and because
the Federal Government does not permit persons to
exempt themselves from the requirements of that
system, it is appropriate for the Federal Government
to take steps to stem abuse of the system.
(4) A social security number is simply a se-
quence of numbers. In no meaningful sense can the
number itself impart knowledge or ideas. Persons do
not sell or transfer such numbers in order to convey
any particularized message, nor to express to the
purchaser any ideas, knowledge, or thoughts.
(5) No one should seek to profit from the dis-
play or sale to the general public of social security
numbers in circumstances that create a substantial
risk of physical, emotional, or financial harm to the
individuals to whom those numbers are assigned.
(6) Various entities may display, sell, or use so-
cial security numbers, including the private sector,
the Federal Government and State governments,
and Federal and State courts. Whatever the source,
the inappropriate display or sale to the general pub-
lic of social security numbers should be prevented.
(7) Congress should enact legislation that will
offer an individual assigned a social security number
154
•HR 5548 IH1S
necessary protection from the display, sale, or pur-
chase of the number in circumstances that might fa-
cilitate unlawful conduct or that might otherwise
likely result in unfair and deceptive practices.
(c)(1) Part A of title XI of the Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. 1301 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end
the following new section:
‘‘PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN MISUSES OF THE SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBER

this section, no person may display or sell to the general
public any individual’s social security number, or any iden-
tifiable derivative of such number, without the affirma-

individual.
‘‘(b) No person may obtain any individual’s social se-
curity number, or any identifiable derivative of such num-
ber, for purposes of locating or identifying an individual
with the intent to physically injure, harm, or use the iden-
tity of the individual for illegal purposes.
