(2) CONTENTS.—The analysis required under 
paragraph (1) shall include with respect to aquatic 
invasive species— 
(A) an analysis of pathways, including— 
(i) identifying, and characterizing as 
high, medium, or low risk, pathways re-
gionally and nationally; 
(ii) identifying new and expanding 
pathways; 
(iii) identifying handling practices 
that contribute to the introduction of spe-
cies in pathways; and 
(iv) assessing the risk that species le-
gally introduced into the United States 
pose for introduction into aquatic eco-
systems; 
(B) patterns and rates of invasion and sus-
ceptibility to invasion of various bodies of 
water; 
(C) how the risk of establishment through

(H) interferes with the orderly and fair 
marketing of goods in commerce; and 
(I) in many instances, may deprive workers 
of equal protection on the basis of sex in viola-
tion of the 5th and 14th amendments. 
(4)(A) Artificial barriers to the elimination of 
discrimination in the payment of wages on the basis 
of sex continue to exist decades after the enactment 
of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 
201 et seq.) and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 
U.S.C. 2000a et seq.). 
(B) These barriers have resulted, in significant 
part, because the Equal Pay Act has not worked as 
Congress originally intended. Improvements and 
modifications to the law are necessary to ensure that 
the Act provides effective protection to those subject 
to pay discrimination on the basis of their sex. 
(C) Elimination of such barriers would have 
positive effects, including— 
(i) providing a solution to problems in the 
economy created by unfair pay disparities; 
(ii) substantially reducing the number of 
working women earning unfairly low wages, 
thereby reducing the dependence on public as-
sistance;

Any non-Federal land acquired by the Secretary under this 
Act shall be managed by the Secretary in accordance with— 
(1) the Act of March 1, 1911 (commonly known 
as the ‘‘Weeks Law’’) (16 U.S.C. 480 et seq.); and
