SEC. 2. MEDICARE PAYMENT FOR AMBULATORY SURGICAL CENTER SERVICES.

    (a) In General.--Section 1833(i) of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 1395l(i)) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(i)(1) Payment shall be made under this part in the amount 
specified under paragraph (2) for facility services furnished to an 
individual in an ambulatory surgical center in connection with any 
outpatient surgical procedure covered under this part as a hospital 
outpatient department service, except for those procedures that the 
Secretary designates, in consultation with appropriate trade and 
professional organizations (including those having direct experience 
with ambulatory surgical centers) as posing a significant safety risk 
or requiring an overnight stay when performed in ambulatory surgical 
centers. Not less frequently than once every two years the Secretary 
shall review and, may, after public comment, make appropriate 
adjustments to this list of procedures excluded from coverage when 
performed in ambulatory surgical centers as the Secretary deems 
necessary.
    ``(2)(A) Subject to subparagraphs (B) and (C), the amount of 
payment to be made under this subsection for facility services 
furnished to an individual in an ambulatory surgical center in 
accordance with paragraph (1) shall be equal to 75 percent of the fee 
schedule amount determined under paragraph (3)(A) of subsection (t) for 
payment of the same service furnished in hospital outpatient 
departments, as adjusted under paragraphs (4)(A), (6), and (15) of such 
subsection, less a 20 percent beneficiary copayment.
    ``(B) For covered ambulatory surgical center services furnished on 
or after January 1, 2008, and before January 1, 2012, for which the 
ambulatory surgical center payment amount payable under this subsection

amount') is less than 75 percent of the hospital OPD fee schedule 
amount under subsection (t) in 2007 for the same services, the amount 
of payment under this subsection shall be calculated as follows:
            ``(i) For services furnished during 2008, the amount shall 
        be equal to the sum of--
                    ``(I) 80 percent of the 2007 ASC payment amount, as

                increased under clauses (i)(I) and (ii)(I) and as

subchapter II of chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code, is amended 
by adding at the end the following:

``3559. Privacy breach requirements.''.
answer:
Safe and Secure Federal Websites Act of 2015 This bill establishes security and privacy requirements for new federal websites that collect personally identifiable information (PII) (i.e., information that can be used to distinguish or trace the identity of an individual or that is linked or linkable to an individual).  (Sec. 2) A federal agency may not deploy or make available to the public a new federal PII website until the agency's chief information officer (CIO) certifies to Congress that the website is fully functional and secure. The CIO must make such certification within 90 days after enactment of this Act. After such 90-day period, any new federal PII website that has not been certified must be rendered inaccessible until certification is submitted.  The prohibition does not apply to a website that is: (1) operated entirely by an entity that is independent of the federal government, or (2) in a development or testing phase (beta website). The exemption for beta websites applies only if: (1) a member of the public may access PII-related portions of the website only after executing an agreement that acknowledges the risks involved; and (2) no agency compelled, enjoined, or otherwise provided incentives for a member of the public to access such website.  The bill defines a "new federal PII website" as a website that: (1) is operated by (or under contract with) an agency; (2) elicits, collects, stores, or maintains PII and is accessible to the public; and (3) is first made accessible to the public and collects or stores PII on or after October 1, 2012. The bill also sets forth requirements that must be met to deem a new federal PII website as "secure." (Sec. 3) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) must establish and oversee policies and procedures for federal agencies to follow in the event of a breach of information security involving the disclosure of PII, including: (1) notice, not later than 72 hours after discovery of a breach or possible breach, to individuals whose PII could be compromised; and (2) timely reporting to a federal cybersecurity center designated by the OMB and defined in this Act.  Agency heads must ensure that agency actions taken in response to a breach of information security involving the disclosure of PII comply with OMB policies and procedures established by this Act. The OMB must report to Congress, not later than March 1 of each year, on agency compliance with such policies and procedures.  A "federal cybersecurity center" is defined to include: (1) the Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, (2) the Intelligence Community Incident Response Center, (3) the U.S. Cyber Command Joint Operations Center, (4) the National Cyber Investigative Task Force, (5) the Central Security Service Threat Operations Center of the National Security Agency, (6) the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team, and (7) any center that the OMB determines is appropriate to carry out privacy breach notice and reporting requirements.

Supporting Academic Freedom through Regulatory Relief Act - (Sec. 2) Repeals certain Department of Education regulations that for purposes of determining whether a school is eligible to participate in programs under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA): (1) require institutions of higher education (IHEs) and postsecondary vocational institutions (except religious schools) to be legally authorized by the state in which they are situated, (2) delineate what such legal authorization requires of states and schools, (3) impose standards and disclosure requirements on programs that prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation, and (4) define "credit hour."  Restores regulations that were in effect on June 30, 2011, but were amended by the regulations that this Act repeals. Prohibits the Secretary of Education from promulgating or enforcing any regulation or rule not in effect on the date of this Act's enactment regarding: (1) the state authorization for IHEs to operate within a state, or (2) the definition or application of the term &quot;gainful employment.&quot; Ends that prohibition when a law is enacted that extends by at least two fiscal years the authorization or duration of one or more programs under the HEA. Prohibits the Secretary from promulgating or enforcing any regulation or rule that defines "credit hour" for any purpose under the HEA. (Sec. 3) Amends title IV (Student Assistance) of the HEA to authorize nonprofit IHEs to make payments to third-party entities for services that include student recruitment and are based on the amount of tuition that the IHE generates from student enrollment if the third-party entity: (1) is not affiliated with the IHE, (2) does not provide incentive payments to its employees for their success in enrolling students or securing financial aid for them, (3) is not paid by the IHE solely or separately for student recruitment services, and (4) will not make student recruitment information available to any other person or entity.
