PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Space Tourism Promotion Act of 
2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) humans have long had a yearning to travel in space and 
        experience conditions beyond Earth's atmosphere;
            (2) forty years of human space flight experience have 
        demonstrated the feasibility of safe travel to and from space 
        as well as the ability of humans to live and work in space;
            (3) the Nation's human space flight program has developed 
        technologies and operational procedures that the private sector 
        could make use of to enable American citizens to experience 
        space travel;
            (4) space tourism has the potential to become a significant 
        industry and a powerful stimulus for advances in space 
        transportation;
            (5) the Federal Government could play an important role in 
        stimulating the development of space tourism by means of 
        guaranteed loans, tax credits, expeditious establishment of a 
        straightforward and predictable regulatory structure, and 
        research and development in technologies that may enable the 
        private sector to develop operational passenger-carrying space 
        transportation systems and on-orbit habitations;
            (6) as the agency of the Federal Government primarily 
        responsible for the development of America's commercial sector, 
        the Department of Commerce, and in particular its Office of 
        Space Commercialization, should have the lead role in 
        encouraging the growth of space tourism;
            (7) as the agency of the Federal Government currently 
        responsible for regulating America's commercial space 
        transportation industry, the Federal Aviation Administration, 
        and in particular its Office of Commercial Space 
        Transportation, should have the lead role in establishing the 
        regulatory structure necessary to ensure the safety of United 
        States space tourism;
            (8) as the agency of the Federal Government responsible for 
        carrying out the major share of the Nation's civil space 
        activities, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
        should continue its traditional role of conducting research and 
        development related to new space technologies and systems and 
        facilitating their transfer to the private sector;
            (9) it is an appropriate role for the Federal Government to 
        undertake measures to encourage the development of space 
        tourism in the United States; and
            (10) at the same time, it is an inappropriate role and a 
        misallocation of taxpayer-provided resources for the Federal 
        Government to compete with the private sector in the provision 
        of transportation vehicles or facilities for space tourism.

SOLUTION:
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal Amendment Act - Amends the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal Act to repeal definitions relating to:  (1) no-migration determination; (2) retrieval; and (3) test-phase and test-phase activities. 
(Sec. 3) Declares that existing rights under specified oil and gas leases shall not be affected unless the Secretary of Energy determines that acquisition of such leases is necessary for the long-term protection of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) (currently, unless lease acquisition is required to comply with final disposal regulations or with the Solid Waste Disposal Act). 
(Sec. 4) Repeals the mandate for test phase and retrieval plans, and the attendant performance assessment report. 
(Sec. 6) Authorizes the WIPP to receive from the Secretary transuranic waste which did not result from a defense activity but that is under the Secretary's control on the date of enactment of this Act. 
(Sec. 7) Revises the requirements for commencement of disposal operations to authorize the Secretary to begin the disposal phase after review and certification by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (the Administrator) that Department of Energy's (DOE) application reasonably addresses final disposal standards. 
(Sec. 8) Directs the Secretary to submit transuranic waste disposal recommendations and surveys to the Congress. 
(Sec. 9) Prescribes criteria under which the Administrator shall certify compliance with disposal regulations.  States that the Administrator shall disapprove DOE's application only upon finding that the preponderance of evidence shows that the Secretary has failed to adequately address long-term environmental and human-health related risks.  Precludes the Administrator from conducting an independent evaluation of the analyses used to evaluate long-term disposal system performance. 
(Sec. 10) Instructs the Secretary to determine whether or not engineered barriers, or both (sic), will be required to comply with specified Federal regulations.  (Current law requires the use of both engineered and natural barriers.) 
(Sec. 11) Exempts the Secretary from complying with certain Solid Waste Disposal Act proscriptions against land disposal of specified wastes.  Repeals the mandate for:  (1) periodic oversight and compliance determination by the Administrator and the State of New Mexico (the State); and (2) determination of noncompliance during disposal and decommissioning phases. 
(Sec. 12) Repeals retrievability requirements.  Declares that it is the intent of the Congress that after completion of the Administrator's review and certification under this Act, the Secretary will begin the disposal phase by June 30, 1997. 
(Sec. 13) Repeals the mandate for:  (1) a WIPP decommissioning plan; and (2) the deadline for the Secretary to develop a management plan for the Withdrawal. 
(Sec. 15) Revises authorization of appropriations guidelines to authorize payments directly to the State instead of to the Secretary for subsequent payments to the State.
