IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 16, 2002
Mr. SHIMKUS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce
A BILL
To reinstate the license and extend commencement of con-
struction deadlines for the Carlyle Hydroelectric Project
in the State of Illinois, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. REINSTATEMENT AND TRANSFER OF A SUR-
RENDERED LICENSE.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission shall,
upon the request of licensee for the FERC Project No.

the effective date of the surrender thereof.
SEC. 2. EXTENSION OF DEADLINE.
Notwithstanding the time limitations of section 13 of
the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 806), the Federal En-
ergy Regulatory Commission shall, upon the request of the
licensee for FERC Project No. 11214 (and after reason-
able notice) in accordance with the requirements of such

abortion, the parental consent or notification, or judicial
authorization took place that would have been required by
the law requiring parental involvement in a minor’s abor-
tion decision, had the abortion been performed in the
State where the individual resides.
‘‘(d) CIVIL ACTION.—Any parent who suffers legal
harm from a violation of subsection (a) may obtain appro-
priate relief in a civil action.
‘‘(e) DEFINITIONS.—For the purposes of this
section—
‘‘(1) a law requiring parental involvement in a
minor’s abortion decision is a law—
‘‘(A) requiring, before an abortion is per-
formed on a minor, either—
‘‘(i) the notification to, or consent of,
a parent of that minor; or
‘‘(ii) proceedings in a State court; and
‘‘(B) that does not provide as an alter-
native to the requirements described in sub-
paragraph (A) notification to or consent of any
person or entity who is not described in that
subparagraph;
‘‘(2) the term ‘parent’ means—
‘‘(A) a parent or guardian;
‘‘(B) a legal custodian; or
purchase garments made in sweatshops and sold into
interstate and international commerce.
(4) The Congress concurs in the findings of the
Comptroller General that most sweatshop employers
violate the recordkeeping requirements of the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 201 et
seq.).
(5) The failure of these employers to maintain
adequate records, as well as the lack of access to
such records by consumers, employees, consumer
and employee representatives, and the public at
large has adversely affected and continues to ad-
versely affect the ability of employees and the De-
partment of Labor to collect wages due to workers
and to otherwise ensure compliance with the Act’s
wage and hour, child labor, and industrial homework
provisions.
(6) These failures of recordkeeping and lack of
access to records—combined with the inadequacy in
the scope of information that manufacturers have
been required to record and disclose—also obstruct
consumers from freely and knowingly choosing
whether to buy garments that are made under
sweatshop conditions.
to States authorized under part B of the Indi-
viduals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),
the adjustment shall be for fiscal year 2006,

$5,180,000,000 in new budget authority and
outlays flowing therefrom.
‘‘(G) ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING.—If a bill or
joint resolution is enacted that charges Federal
agencies for the full cost of accrued Federal re-
tirement and health benefits and a bill or joint
resolution making appropriations is enacted
that provides new budget authority to carry out
the legislation charging Federal agencies for
such accrued costs, the adjustment shall be
equal to the reduction in mandatory budget au-
thority and the outlays flowing therefrom esti-
mated to result from the legislation charging
Federal agencies for such accrued costs.
‘‘(H) RECLASSIFICATION OF STUDENT AID
ACCOUNTS.—If a bill or joint resolution is en-
acted that amends the Higher Education Act to

nual appropriations, the adjustment shall be:

obligation 
limitation 
in 
excess 
of

grams, projects, and activities within the high-
way category, the adjustment to the highway
category shall be equal to the excess but not to
exceed $1,180,000,000 in outlays for fiscal year
2003.
‘‘(ii) LIMITATION.—An adjustment may
only be made under this subparagraph if the
bill or joint resolution establishing the obliga-
tion limitation provides that the obligation limi-
tation is made available solely for programs,
projects, or activities as distributed under sec-
tion 1102 of the Transportation Equity Act for
