Revises assessment requirements. States that the assessment rate for calendar years 2008 and 2009 shall be equal to two-tenths of 1% per gallon of distillate liquid (currently, No. 1 distillate and No. 2 dyed distillate).

Declares that, beginning with calendar year 2010, the annual assessment rate shall be sufficient to cover the costs of the plans and programs developed by the Alliance.

Sets forth: (1) a maximum assessment rate; and (2) limitations on any assessment increase.

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Chesapeake Bay Watershed Nutrient 
Removal Assistance Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) nutrient pollution from point sources and nonpoint 
        sources continues to be the most significant water quality 
        problem in the Chesapeake Bay watershed;
            (2) a key commitment of the Chesapeake 2000 agreement, an 
        interstate agreement among the Administrator, the Chesapeake 
        Bay Commission, the District of Columbia, and the States of 
        Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, is to achieve the goal of 
        correcting the nutrient-related problems in the Chesapeake Bay 
        by 2010;
            (3) by correcting those problems, the Chesapeake Bay and 
        its tidal tributaries may be removed from the list of impaired 
        bodies of water designated by the Administrator of the 
        Environmental Protection Agency under section 303(d) of the 
        Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1313(d));
            (4) more than 300 major sewage treatment plants located in 
        the Chesapeake Bay watershed annually discharge approximately 
        60,000,000 pounds of nitrogen, or the equivalent of 20 percent 
        of the total nitrogen load, into the Chesapeake Bay; and
            (5) nutrient removal technology is 1 of the most reliable, 
        cost-effective, and direct methods for reducing the flow of 
        nitrogen from point sources into the Chesapeake Bay.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to authorize the Administrator of the Environmental 
        Protection Agency to provide financial assistance to States and 
        municipalities for use in upgrading publicly-owned wastewater 
        treatment plants in the Chesapeake Bay watershed with nutrient 
        removal technologies; and
            (2) to further the goal of restoring the water quality of 
        the Chesapeake Bay to conditions that are protective of human 
        health and aquatic living resources.

SEC. 3. SEWAGE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY GRANT PROGRAM.

    The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) is

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Shelter, Land, and Urban Management 
(SLUM) Assistance Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Approximately 51 percent of the world's population 
        currently lives in cities of all sizes and produces the 
        majority of the world's economic output.
            (2) Approximately one billion people currently live in 
        slums, and more than half of this population is under the age 
        of 25.
            (3) It is estimated that by 2030 the number of people 
        living in slums will double.
            (4) Slums are characterized by inadequate access to safe 
        water, sanitation, and other essential infrastructure, 
        overcrowding, poorly structured housing, and insecure 
        residential and property ownership status.
            (5) Eighty-eight percent of all disease is caused by unsafe 
        drinking water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene and 
        almost 50 percent of all people in developing countries suffer 
        health problems caused by water and sanitation deficits.
            (6) Over 1.1 billion people lack adequate access to safe 
        water and nearly 2.5 billion lack access to sanitation 
        services.
            (7) The costs of diseases and productivity losses linked to 
        water and sanitation in less developed countries amount to two 
        percent of gross domestic product and up to five percent in 
        sub-Saharan Africa.
            (8) Insecure lease and real property ownership tenure often 
        subject slum dwellers to arbitrary, often supra-market rents, 
        forced evictions, threats, and harassment.
            (9) In 2007, approximately five million people were subject 
        to forced evictions, and projections show that the number of 
        forced evictions are likely to increase to between 40 million 
        and 70 million in the next 20 years.
            (10) Insecurity of tenure severely inhibits economic 
        development by undermining investment incentives and 
        constraining the growth of credit markets, imperils the ability 
        of families to achieve sustainable livelihoods and assured 
        access to shelter, and often contributes to conflict over 
        property rights.
            (11) Women make up 66 percent of the world's work force, 
        but own less than 15 percent of the property globally.
            (12) Women are affected disproportionally by forced 
        evictions and insecure tenure as a result of gender 
        discrimination, often including gender-biased laws that define 
        women as legal minors or otherwise prevent them from acquiring 
        and securing land, property, and housing lease or ownership 
        rights, making them more vulnerable to poverty, violence, and 
        sexual abuse.
            (13) Adequate housing and universal access to basic shelter 
        serve as catalysts for social and democratic development.
            (14) The 2006 National Security Strategy states, 
        ``America's national interests and moral values drive us in the 
        same direction: to assist the world's poor citizens and least 
        developed nations and help integrate them into the global 
        economy.''.
            (15) Goal 7 Target 11 of the Millennium Development Goals 
        sets the target that ``By 2020, to have achieved a significant 
        improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum-
        dwellers.''.
            (16) The United States formerly provided significant levels 
        of overseas development assistance for shelter and affordable 
        housing, but in recent years this amount has declined.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It should be the policy of the United States--
            (1) to establish and implement, as a major objective of 
        United States overseas development assistance strategy, 
        particularly in developing countries, programs that foster 
        improved urban management, that foster sustainable urban 
        development, that increase the security of real property 
        tenure, and that expand access to basic shelter, affordable 
        urban housing, and essential urban services and infrastructure, 
        particularly by the poor and others who lack such access in 
        whole or in part;
            (2) to allocate increased levels of United States bilateral 
        assistance for programs described in paragraph (1); and
            (3) in order to prevent waste and duplication in the use of 
        United States overseas development assistance with respect to 
        the programs described in paragraph (1) and in order to foster 
        cooperative relations with foreign governments, 
        intergovernmental organizations, and private business and 
        nonprofit entities that singly or jointly support or implement 
        programs similar to those described in paragraph (1), to seek 
        and actively support innovative international mechanisms
