SOLUTION: Medical Device Cybersecurity Act of 2017 This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in coordination with others,&nbsp;to create a cybersecurity report card for devices that have network or Internet connectivity, connect to an external drive or external media, or have any other cyber capability. Report cards must contain specified information, including: (1) information pertaining to the essential elements described in the most recent version of the Manufacturer Disclosure Statement for Medical Device Security, (2) a cybersecurity risk assessment conducted by the manufacturer or third party, and (3) whether the device is capable of being accessed remotely. A cyber device manufacturer must include&nbsp;a report card in any premarket notification or application for premarket approval. The&nbsp;FDA shall provide a copy of a device's report card&nbsp;if requested&nbsp;by a health care industry entity or an entity with a valid interest in the report card.&nbsp; The bill establishes procedures, including notifications to&nbsp;providers and patients,&nbsp;for manufacturers&nbsp;when cyber devices are&nbsp;remotely accessed or no longer going to be sold. Fixes and updates to cyber devices must be free of charge for specified time periods. The bill expands the responsibilities of the Department of Homeland Security's&nbsp;Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team to include investigating cybersecurity vulnerabilities of cyber devices that may cause harm to human life or the significant misuse of personal health information, and coordinating device-specific responses.

        operation, and maintenance backlog needs exist for normal 
        summer operation;
            (4) the Many Glacier Hotel and Lake McDonald Lodge are on 
        the National Register of Historic Places and are National 
        Historic Landmarks;
            (5) other accommodations operated by the concessionaire 
        that have possessory interest and are listed on the National 
        Register of Historic Places are the Rising Sun Motor Inn and 
        Swiftcurrent Motel;
            (6) the historic hotels in the Park, operated under 
        concession agreements with the National Park Service, are 
        essential for public use and enjoyment of the Park;
            (7) visitors to the Park deserve safe hotels in the Park 
        that meet basic needs and expectations;
            (8) the historic hotels in the Park have deteriorated 
        significantly and need substantial repair;
            (9) repairs of the hotels in the Park have been deferred 
        for so long that, absent any changes to the Federal law 
        governing concessionaires and the availability of historic tax 
        credits for up to 39.5 years, the remodeling costs for the 
        hotels exceed the capacity of the hotel concessionaire to 
        finance the repairs with hotel revenues;
            (10) the remodeling costs of Park hotels are so high that 
        the concessionaire will need to finance the cost of those 
        repairs by borrowing the remodeling expenses and repaying them 
        over time out of net hotel income, which by current law is 
        limited to 20-year concession agreements;
            (11) the season of operation for hotels is about 4 months 
        because the developed areas of the Park lack--
                    (A) water, sewer, and fire protection systems that 
                can operate in freezing conditions;
                    (B) building insulation; and
                    (C) heating systems;
            (12) because of many factors, including the high projected 
        costs of remodeling, the relatively short tourist season in the 
        Park, and the requirement that concession agreements may not 
        exceed 20 years, concessionaires are unable to carry out the 
        scope of remodeling that is needed for the hotels in the Park;
            (13) the National Park Service Concessions Management 
        Improvement Act of 1998 (16 U.S.C. 5951 et seq.) is based on 
        sound principles and is achieving its basic purposes, but there 
        appear to be selected instances in which the National Park 
        Service needs additional authority to conduct demonstration 
        projects; and
            (14) a demonstration project is needed to carry out repairs 
        of the historic hotels in the Park.

                services (including conference facilities) for groups 
                of visitors in the early spring and late fall months, 
                especially as those additional services may provide 
                extra revenue needed to finance improvements for the 
                historic hotels in Glacier National Park; and
                    (B) is consistent with section 402 of the National

                            (ii) available at a reasonable rate--
                                    (I) to be approved by the Secretary 
                                in accordance with section 406 of the 
                                National Park Service Concessions

                                improvements for visitor services to be 
                                recovered within a reasonable amount of 
                                time by the concessionaire that 
                                financed the improvements;
                    (B) the leased property will be properly maintained 
                by the lessee, and, with respect to historic property 
                that may be leased, preserved, and maintained in a 
                manner consistent with the historic character of the 
                property, as determined by the Secretary; and
                    (C) assure the lessee of adequate protection 
                against any loss of investment in an improvement to 
                real property that the lessee may make to the leased 
                property (including an obligation of the United States 
                to compensate the lessee for any loss of investment in 
                an improvement to real property in any circumstances 
                that the Secretary determines to be prudent).
    (c) Leasehold Surrender Value.--In any contract for improvements,

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Civil War Sesquicentennial 
Commission Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The American Civil War was a defining experience in the 
        development of the United States.
            (2) The people of the United States continue to struggle 
        with issues of race, civil rights, the politics of federalism, 
        and heritage which are legacies of the Civil War and 
        Reconstruction.
            (3) There is a resurgence of interest in the Civil War, 
        that is evidenced by the multitude of publications, exhibits, 
        reenactments, research organizations, Internet and multimedia 
        resources, historic parks, and preservation associations 
        focused on the Civil War.
            (4) The years 2011 through 2015 mark the sesquicentennial 
        of the Civil War.
            (5) The sesquicentennial of the Civil War presents a 
        significant opportunity for Americans to recall and reflect 
        upon the Civil War and its legacy in a spirit of reconciliation 
        and reflection.
            (6) The United States Civil War Center at Louisiana State 
        University, Louisiana and the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg 
        College, Pennsylvania have been designated by the Federal 
        government to plan and facilitate the commemoration of the 
        sesquicentennial of the Civil War.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to establish a Civil War 
Sesquicentennial Commemoration Commission to--
            (1) ensure a suitable national observance of the 
        sesquicentennial of the Civil War;
            (2) cooperate with and assist States and national 
        organizations with programs and activities for the observance 
        of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War;
            (3) assist in ensuring that any observance of the 
        sesquicentennial of the Civil War is inclusive and 
        appropriately recognizes the experiences and points of view of 
        all people affected by the Civil War; and
            (4) provide assistance for the development of programs, 
        projects, and activities on the Civil War that have lasting 
        educational value.
