Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Broadband Opportunity and 
Affordability Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The adoption of broadband service results in enhanced 
        economic development and public safety for communities across 
        the Nation, improved health care and educational opportunities, 
        and a better quality of life for all Americans.
            (2) Continued progress in the adoption of broadband service 
        is vital to ensuring that the United States remains competitive 
        and continues to create business opportunities and job growth.
            (3) The price of broadband service is a barrier to adoption 
        for low-income households and can be an impediment to full 
        participation in the emerging broadband economy.

SEC. 3. PILOT PROGRAM TO EXPAND LIFELINE PROGRAM TO INCLUDE BROADBAND 
              SERVICE.

    Section 254(j) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 254(j)) 
is amended to read as follows:
    ``(j) Lifeline Assistance.--
            ``(1) Impact of section on lifeline assistance program.--
        Except as provided in paragraph (2), nothing in this section 
        shall affect the collection, distribution, or administration of 
        the Lifeline program.
            ``(2) Pilot program to expand lifeline program to include 
        broadband service.--As soon as practicable after the date of 
        enactment of the Broadband Opportunity and Affordability Act, 
        the Commission shall implement a 2-year pilot program to expand 
        the Lifeline program to reduce the cost of broadband service 
        for low-income consumers that will--
                    ``(A) apply to such broadband service as the 
                Commission may determine to be appropriate for purposes 
                of the pilot program;
                    ``(B) provide such levels of support as the 
                Commission may determine to be appropriate for such 
                purposes;
                    ``(C) be available to such consumers as the 
                Commission may determine to be appropriate for such 
                purposes under such eligibility criteria as the 
                Commission may determine to be appropriate for such 
                purposes; and
                    ``(D) reimburse broadband service providers for 
                each customer served, subject to prior authorization 
                from the Commission to participate in the pilot 
                program.
            ``(3) Criteria for pilot program.--In developing the pilot 
        program required by paragraph (2), the Commission shall 
        consider--
                    ``(A) whether State matching funds must be provided 
                as a condition of eligibility for low-income households 
                within a State;
                    ``(B) the prevailing market rate for broadband 
                service and the prevailing speed of broadband service 
                adopted by households, using information that the 
                Commission routinely collects or that is publicly 
                available; and
                    ``(C) how to ensure that the program is neutral as 
                to the types of technology used to provide broadband 
                service in order to promote competition from broadband 
                service providers to qualify for participation in the 
                pilot program.
            ``(4) Status report.--After the pilot program has been 
        operational for 18 months, the Commission shall submit a report 
        to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
        Transportation and the House of Representatives Committee on 
        Energy and Commerce on the status of the pilot program.
            ``(5) Lifeline program defined.--In this subsection, the 
        term `Lifeline program' means the service described in section 
        54.401(a) of the Commission's regulations (47 C.F.R. 
        54.401(a)).''.

SEC. 4. EXPANSION OF LINK UP PROGRAM REPORT.

    (a) In General.--Within 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Federal Communications Commission shall initiate a notice 
of inquiry with public notice and opportunity for comment, to 
determine--
            (1) whether the Link Up program could be expanded to reduce 
        the cost of initiating broadband service through providing 
        support for computer ownership;
            (2) what equipment would be supported by such an expansion;
            (3) how much support would be available with such an 
        expansion; and
            (4) the eligibility criteria for consumers to qualify for 
        such an expansion.
    (b) Report.--The Commission shall submit a report to the Senate 
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and the House of 
Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce containing the 
Commission's findings, conclusions, and recommendations from the 
inquiry.

program'' means the service described in section 54.411(a) of the 
Commission's regulations (47 U.S.C. 54.411(a)).

Example Input: SECTION 1. KOREA VISA WAIVER PILOT PROGRAM.

    (a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) travel and tourism play a major role in reducing the 
        United States unfavorable balance of trade;
            (2) the characteristics of the Korean travel market do not 
        permit long-term planning for longer trips;
            (3) applications for United States visas cannot now be 
        processed in a reasonable period of time;
            (4) the Secretary of State has attempted to solve the 
        problem by adding additional staff to the consular section at 
        the United States Embassy in Seoul;
            (5) unfortunately, these additions have not resulted in any 
        discernable improvement in reducing visa processing delays;
            (6) further, it is unlikely, given the current fiscal 
        environment, to expect funding to be available for further 
        staff additions in sufficient numbers to effect any significant 
        improvement in the time required to process visa applications;
            (7) most of the nations of the South Pacific, Europe, and 
        Canada do not currently require Koreans entering their 
        countries to have a visa, thus providing them with a serious 
        competitive advantage in the tourism industry;
            (8) the United States territory of Guam has been permitted 
        by the United States Government to eliminate visa requirements 
        for Koreans visiting Guam, with resultant impressive increases 
        in travel and tourism from citizens of the Republic of Korea;
            (9) any application under existing procedures to add the 
        Republic of Korea, or any other nation to the group of favored 
        nations exempted from United States visa regulations, would 
        require many years during which time the United States could 
        well lose its competitive advantages in attracting travel and 
        tourism from the Republic of Korea;
            (10) the Republic of Korea, as a gesture of goodwill, has 
        already unilaterally exempted United States tourists who seek 
        to enter the Republic of Korea from the requirement of 
        obtaining a visa; and
            (11) growth in Korean travel to the United States has not 
        kept pace with growth in travel to non-United States 
        destinations, and cumbersome and time-consuming visa processing 
        procedures are widely recognized as the cause of this loss of 
        market share and competitiveness with alternative destinations.
    (b) Pilot Program.--The Secretary of State and the Attorney General 
jointly shall establish a pilot project (in this section referred to as 
the ``pilot program'') within six months of the date of the enactment 
of this Act under which the requirement of paragraph (7)(B)(i)(II) of 
section 212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
1182(a)(7)(B)(i)(II)) is waived during the pilot program period in the 
case of any alien who meets the following requirements:
            (1) National of pilot program country.--The alien is a 
        national of, and presents a passport issued by, the Republic of 
        Korea. The Republic of Korea is urged to provide machine 
        readable passports to its citizens in the near future.
            (2) Seeking entry as tourist.--The alien is applying for 
        admission to the United States during the pilot program period 
        as a nonimmigrant visitor for pleasure (as described in section 
        101(a)(15)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
        1101(a)(15)(B))), as part of a group tour to the United States.
            (3) Period of stay.--The alien seeks to stay in the United 
        States for a period of not more than 15 days.
            (4) Executes immigration forms.--The alien before the time 
        of such admission completes such immigration form as the 
        Attorney General shall establish.
            (5) Entry into the united states.--If arriving by sea or 
        air, the alien arrives at the port of entry into the United 
States on a carrier which has entered into an agreement with the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service to guarantee transport of the 
alien out of the United States if the alien is found inadmissible or 
deportable by an immigration officer.
            (6) Not a safety threat.--The alien has been determined not 
        to represent a threat to the welfare, health, safety, or 
        security of the United States.
            (7) No previous violation.--If the alien previously was 
        admitted without a visa under this section, the alien must not 
        have failed to comply with the conditions of any previous 
        admission as such a nonimmigrant.
            (8) Round-trip ticket.--The alien is in possession of a 
        round-trip transportation ticket (unless this requirement is 
        waived by the Attorney General under regulations).
    (c) Waiver of Rights.--An alien may not be provided a waiver under 
the pilot program unless the alien has waived any right--
            (1) to review or appeal under this Act of an immigration 
        officer's determination as to the admissibility of the alien at 
        the port of entry into the United States, or
            (2) to contest, other than on the basis of an application 
        for asylum, any action for deportation against the alien.
    (d) Termination of Authority.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
of this section, the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, 
acting jointly, may terminate the pilot program under this section on 
or after a date which is one year after the date of the establishment 
of the pilot program if--
            (1) during the preceding fiscal year, the overstay rate for 
        nationals of the Republic of Korea entering the United States 
        under the pilot program exceeds the overstay rate of such 
        nationals entering the United States with valid visas; and
            (2) the Attorney General and the Secretary of State have 
        jointly determined that the pilot program is leading to a 
        significant increase in the number of overstays by such 
        nationals.
    (e) Special Bond and Notification Requirements for Tour 
Operators.--
            (1) In general.--Nationals of the Republic of Korea may not 
        enter the United States under the terms of this section unless 
        they are accompanied for the duration of their authorized 
        admission period by a tour operator who has fulfilled the 
        following requirements:
                    (A) The tour operator has posted a bond of $200,000 
                with the Secretary of State.
                    (B) The Secretary of State, under such regulations 
                as the Secretary may prescribe, has approved an 
                application by the tour operator to escort tour groups 
                to the United States.
                    (C) The tour operator provides the name, address, 
                birthdate, passport number, and citizenship of all 
                prospective tour group members to the Secretary of 
                State no less than one business day prior to the 
                departure date of the group, under such regulations as 
                he may prescribe, in order to determine that the 
                prospective travelers do not represent a threat to the 
                welfare, health, safety, and security of the United 
                States.
                    (D) The tour operator excludes from the tour group 
                any person whom the Secretary of State denies 
                permission to travel to the United States.
                    (E) The tour operator provides written 
                certification or other such evidence prescribed by the 
                Secretary of State and Attorney General which documents 
the return to Korea of each tour group member.
            (2) Forfeiture of bonds.--Bonds posted in accordance with 
        this subsection shall be forfeited in whole or in part and a 
        tour operator's authorization to escort tours to the United 
        States may be suspended or revoked if the Secretary of State 
        finds that the tour operator--
                    (A) has failed to disclose a material fact in 
                connection with the application required under 
                paragraph (1)(B);
                    (B) fails to comply with the advance notification 
                and refusal requirements of paragraphs (1)(C) and 
                (1)(D);
