    Congress finds the following:
            (1) On December 5, 2016, Craig Whitlock and Bob Woodward of 
        the Washington Post published an article entitled ``Pentagon 
        Buries Evidence of $125 Billion in Bureaucratic Waste'' 
        (``Article'').
            (2) In this article, Whitlock and Woodward made public the 
        Defense Business Board report ``Transforming DOD's Core 
        Business Processes for Revolutionary Change'' (``Report'').
            (3) Recommendations on page 22 of the report state that a 
        ``move to managed print services'' presents a ``20-30% savings 
        opportunity'' which would save the American taxpayer millions 
        of dollars annually.

SEC. 3. MANAGED PRINT SERVICES.

    The Secretary of Defense shall, to the extent practicable, pursue 
managed print services within the Department of Defense.

Title: To amend the Black Lung Benefits Act to provide equity for certain eligible survivors, and for other purposes.
Policy area: Labor and Employment

Summary:
This bill amends the Black Lung Benefits Act to preserve specified amendments made by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in the event those amendments are repealed. The amendments expanded the application of certain eligibility requirements for black lung benefits to claims that were pending on or after the enactment of PPACA. Those requirements: (1) established a rebuttable presumption for claims filed by a miner who worked at least 15 years in an underground coal mine that a disabling lung or respiratory condition was due to black lung disease, and (2) entitled the survivors of a miner who, before death, was determined to be eligible for benefits to those benefits without the survivors being required to revalidate the miner's claim. (Previously, survivors were required to prove that the miner's death was caused by black lung disease).

Title: ATF Wrongful Reclassification Act
Policy area: Crime and Law Enforcement

Summary:
ATF Wrongful Reclassification Act
This bill amends the federal criminal code to modify the definition of "armor piercing ammunition." Currently, armor piercing ammunition includes certain projectiles or projectile cores that may be used in a handgun. The bill limits that definition of armor piercing ammunition to certain projectiles or projectile cores that are designed and intended by the manufacturer solely for use in a handgun.
The bill also revises the standard for determining when armor piercing ammunition is exempt from federal prohibitions on import, manufacture, and distribution. Current law exempts armor piercing ammunition that is primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes, as determined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This bill replaces the "sporting purposes" standard with a new standard that exempts armor piercing ammunition that is primarily intended by the manufacturer to be used for lawful purposes.
