To extend the possession tax credit with respect to American Samoa an 
additional 10 years. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MARCH 25, 2003
Mr. FALEOMAVAEGA introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on Ways and Means 
A BILL 
To extend the possession tax credit with respect to American 
Samoa an additional 10 years.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘American Samoa Pos-
session Tax Credit Act of 2003’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The United States territory of American 
Samoa lies 2,300 miles southwest of Hawaii, covers 
a land area of 76 square miles, has a population of
less than 70,000, and a per capita income of $4,300 
per year. 
(2) Due to scarcity of land, labor and capital, 
economic growth and development in American 
Samoa has been limited. 
(3) In fact, more than 80 percent of American 
Samoa’s economy is dependent either directly or in-
directly on two United States tuna canneries which 
employ more than 5,150 people or 74 percent of the 
workforce. 
(4) A decrease in production or departure of 
one or both of the two canneries in American Samoa 
could devastate the local economy resulting in mas-
sive layoffs and insurmountable financial difficulties. 
(5) Although wage rates are $0.60 and less per 
hour in other tuna catching nations and $3.60 per 
hour in American Samoa, the possession tax credit 
offered by section 936 of the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986 has encouraged both canneries to remain 
and invest in the Territory. 
(6) Such credit is scheduled to expire in Janu-
ary 2005 and this may likely lead to the departure 
of one or both canneries. 
(7) To protect American Samoa’s present econ-
omy and to encourage and foster other investment
(1) present a comprehensive program for the 
conservation, interpretation, funding, management, 
and development of the proposed national heritage 
area and of the historical, cultural, and natural re-
sources and the recreational and educational oppor-
tunities of the proposed national heritage area, in a 
manner consistent with the existing local, State, and 
Federal land use laws and compatible economic via-
bility of the proposed national heritage area; 
(2) involve residents, public agencies, and pri-
vate organizations working in the proposed national 
heritage area; 
(3) specify and coordinate, as of the date of the 
management plan, existing and potential sources of 
technical and financial assistance under this and 
other Federal laws to protect, manage, and develop 
the proposed national heritage area; and 
(4) include—
(A) actions to be undertaken by units of 
government and private organizations to pro-
tect, conserve, and interpret the resources of 
the proposed national heritage area; 
(B) an inventory of the resources con-
tained in the proposed national heritage area, 
including a list of any property in the proposed
and development in the Territory, it is necessary to 
make permanent or extend the possession tax credit 
with respect to American Samoa an additional ten 
years. 
SEC. 3. EXTENSION OF POSSESSION TAX CREDIT WITH RE-
SPECT TO AMERICAN SAMOA. 
Subparagraph (A) of section 936(j)(8) of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to special rules for certain 
possessions) is amended by inserting before the period at 
the end the following: ‘‘(January 1, 2016, in the case of 
American Samoa)’’.
