TION OF NUTRITION SERVICES.—The Assistant Secretary
shall designate an individual in the Administration who
shall be responsible, under the supervision of the Assistant
Secretary, for the administration of chapter 3 of subtitle
A of title III. Such individual shall—
‘‘(1) have expertise in nutrition and dietary
services and planning, and
‘‘(2)(A) be a registered dietitian,
‘‘(B) be a credentialed nutrition professional, or
‘‘(C) have education and training that is sub-
stantially equivalent to the education and training
for a registered dietitian or a credentialed nutrition
professional.
‘‘(f) DESIGNATION RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRA-
TION OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE PROGRAMS.—The Assistant
Secretary shall designate an individual in the Administra-
tion who has experience and expertise in administering vol-
unteer programs for older individuals and who shall be re-
sponsible, under the supervision of the Assistant Secretary,
for the administration of title IV.
‘‘SEC. 112. DUTIES OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY.
‘‘The duties of the Assistant Secretary are as follows:
‘‘(1) ADVOCACY.—To serve as the effective and
visible advocate for older individuals, within the De-
information contained in an existing rule, the Director
shall—
‘‘(A) publish an explanation thereof in the Fed-
eral Register; and
‘‘(B) instruct the agency to undertake a rule-
making within a reasonable time limited to consider-
ation of changes to the collection of information con-
tained in the rule and thereafter to submit the col-
lection of information for approval or disapproval
under this chapter.
‘‘(3) An agency may not make a substantive or mate-
rial modification to a collection of information after such
collection has been approved by the Director, unless the
modification has been submitted to the Director for review
and approval under this chapter.
‘‘(i)(1) If the Director finds that a senior official of
an agency designated under section 3506(a) is sufficiently
independent of program responsibility to evaluate fairly
whether proposed collections of information should be ap-
proved and has sufficient resources to carry out this re-
sponsibility effectively, the Director may, by rule in ac-
cordance with the notice and comment provisions of chap-
ter 5 of title 5, United States Code, delegate to such offi-
cial the authority to approve proposed collections of infor-
United States. Of those employed, 70 percent receive 
employment-based health insurance. Of unemployed 
Americans, 30 percent receive employer-sponsored 
health insurance. 
(2) Despite the large percentages of coverage, 
as health care costs climb, the percentage of Ameri-
cans who receive health insurance through employers 
has fallen significantly over the last decade—from 
70 percent nationwide in 2000 to 60 percent in 
2011, according to a report by the Robert Wood 
Johnson Foundation. 
(3) According to recent surveys done by the Na-
tional Business Group on Health and the Kaiser 
Family Foundation, most companies continue to 
provide health insurance for employees and wish to 
continue doing so into the future. 
(4) Employers who offer insurance will not con-
tribute additional risk to the health insurance ex-
changes established in the Patient Protection and 
Affordable Care Act (in this Act referred to as 
‘‘PPACA’’). 
(5) The transitional reinsurance program, es-
tablished in section 1341 of PPACA, is intended to 
stabilize risk in the individual health insurance mar-

(2) The filing of tax returns and other tax-re-
lated documents with the Internal Revenue Service 
often requires the submission of information to the 
Federal Government that taxpayers would otherwise 
consider private. 
(3) To ensure widespread voluntary compliance 
by taxpayers, the American public must have abso-

in a non-partisan manner.

ment by the Internal Revenue Service will not be

entation, religious beliefs, or political creed, includ-
ing their support for or opposition to any Govern-
ment policies. 
(5) The confidence of taxpayers in the system

sign tax treatment based on political beliefs or ac-
tivities. 
(6) The targeting of certain individuals and

The Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) A serious groundwater overdraft problem
exists in the Pajaro Valley of Santa Cruz and Mon-
terey Counties, California.
(2) The groundwater overdraft problem in the

try in the Pajaro Valley, with gross receipts of more
than $460,000,000 in 1994.
(4) The Pajaro Valley Water Management
Agency (‘‘Agency’’) was established by the State of
California and the citizens of the Pajaro Valley to
eliminate the groundwater overdraft and preserve
agricultural production.
(5) The Agency was directed by California stat-
ute to develop a comprehensive plan to stabilize
groundwater supplies in an economically and envi-
ronmentally acceptable manner.
(6) The Agency has drafted and approved a
comprehensive plan, entitled the ‘‘Basin Manage-
ment Plan’’ dated November 1993, which will, when
implemented, stabilize the water resources of the
basin and address the problems of overdraft and
seawater intrusion by emphasizing water conserva-
tion and by developing supplemental sources of
water.
(7) The Secretary of the Interior needs author-
ization in order to enter into contracts or agree-
ments to assist the Agency in implementing the

mate, nondiscriminatory reasons for the con-
duct alleged to be the unlawful disparate treat-
ment; and

parate practice.

tice based on disparate treatment may be established.’’.
