(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 1400E of the Internal

communities) is amended by adding at the end the fol-
lowing new subsection: 
‘‘(g) EXPANSION OF DESIGNATED AREA BASED ON 
2000 CENSUS.— 
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—At the request of all gov-
ernments which nominated an area as a renewal 
community, the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development may expand the area of such commu-
nity to include any census tract if— 
‘‘(A)(i) at the time such community was 
nominated, such community would have met the 
requirements of this section using 1990 census 
data even if such tract had been included in 
such community, and 
‘‘(ii) such tract has a poverty rate using 
2000 census data which exceeds the poverty 
rate for such tract using 1990 census data, or 
‘‘(B)(i) such community would be de-
scribed in subparagraph (A)(i) but for the fail-
plicable low-income individual exceed, as esti-
mated by the Secretary, the average amount 
paid in a year under section 1860D–14 on be-
half of a subsidy eligible individual (as defined 
in section 1860D–14(a)(3)(A)) with income 
that is the same as the income of the applicable 
low-income individual. 
‘‘(3) APPLICABLE LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUAL.— 
For purposes of this subsection, the term ‘applicable 
low-income individual’ means an individual who— 
‘‘(A) is eligible for, but not enrolled in, a 
prescription drug plan or MA–PD plan under 
this part, and who is enrolled in a State phar-
maceutical assistance program described in sec-

‘‘(B) would be a subsidy eligible individual 
(as defined in section 1860D–14(a)(3)(A)) if 
the individual were enrolled in such a plan. 
‘‘(c) PAYMENT METHODS.—

retary determines. The Secretary may establish a 
payment method by which interim payments of 
amounts under this section are made during a year

The birth rate among unmarried women in 
2001 was 4 percent lower than its peak reached 
in 1994, while the proportion of births occur-
ring outside of marriage has remained at ap-
proximately 33 percent since 1998. 
(C) The negative consequences of out-of-
wedlock birth on the mother, the child, the fam-
ily, and society are well documented. These in-
clude increased likelihood of welfare depend-
ency, increased risks of low birth weight, poor 
cognitive development, child abuse and neglect, 
and teen parenthood, and decreased likelihood 
of having an intact marriage during adulthood. 
(D) An estimated 24,500,000 children do 
not live with their biological fathers, and 
7,100,000 children do not live with their bio-
logical mothers. These facts are attributable 
largely to declining marriage rates, increasing 
divorce rates, and increasing rates of nonmar-
ital births during the latter part of the 20th 
century. 
(E) There has been a dramatic rise in co-
habitation as marriages have declined. Only 40 
percent of children of cohabiting couples will 
see their parents marry. Those who do marry

To reduce temporarily the royalty required to be paid for sodium produced 
on Federal lands, and for other purposes. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
APRIL 22, 2004 
Mrs. CUBIN introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee 
on Resources 
A BILL 
To reduce temporarily the royalty required to be paid for 
sodium produced on Federal lands, 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. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Soda Ash Royalty Re-
duction Act of 2004’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) The combination of global competitive pres-
sures, flat domestic demand, and spiraling costs of
production threaten the future of the United States 
soda ash industry. 
(2) Despite booming world demand, growth in 
United States exports of soda ash since 1997 has 
been flat, with most of the world’s largest markets 
for such growth, including Brazil, the People’s Re-
public of China, India, the countries of eastern Eu-
rope, and the Republic of South Africa, have been 
closed by protectionist policies. 
(3) The People’s Republic of China is the prime 
competitor of the United States in soda ash produc-
tion, and recently supplanted the United States as 
the largest producer of soda ash in the world. 
(4) Over 700 jobs have been lost in the United 
States soda ash industry since the Department of 
the Interior increased the royalty rate on soda ash 
produced on Federal land, in 1996. 
(5) Reduction of the royalty rate on soda ash 
produced on Federal land will provide needed relief 
to the United States soda ash industry and allow it 
to increase export growth and competitiveness in 
emerging world markets, and create new jobs in the 
United States.
SEC. 3. REDUCTION IN ROYALTY RATE ON SODA ASH. 
Notwithstanding section 24 of the Mineral Leasing 
Act (30 U.S.C. 262) and the terms of any lease under 
that Act, the royalty rate on soda ash produced on Federal 
land in the 5-year period beginning on the date of the en-
actment of this Act shall be 2 percent. 
SEC. 4. STUDY. 
After the end of the 4-year period beginning on the 
date of the enactment of this Act, and before the end of 
the 5-year period beginning on that date, the Secretary 
of the Interior shall report to the Congress on the effects 
of the royalty reduction under this Act, including— 
(1) the amount of soda ash produced on Fed-
eral land during that 4-year period; 
(2) the number of jobs that have been created 
or maintained as a result of the royalty reduction; 
(3) the total amount of royalty paid to the 
United States on soda ash produced during that 4- 
year period; and 
(4) a recommendation of whether the reduced 
royalty rate should apply after the end of the 5-year 
period beginning on the date of the enactment of 
this Act.
