SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Reporting on Influence and 
Subversion by the Kremlin Act'' or ``RISK Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 1986, an interagency working group issued a report 
        assessing ``active measures'' by the former Soviet Union 
        against the United States.
            (2) The working group concluded that ``there is a massive 
        and highly organized effort by the Soviet Union and its proxies 
        to influence world opinion''.
            (3) The working group further observed that ``this effort 
        includes public diplomacy to enhance the Soviet image abroad 
        and . . . also includes a persistent, widespread program of 
        disinformation and deception designed to discredit the U.S. 
        image abroad and disrupt U.S. policy objectives.''.
            (4) Active measures by the Russian Federation have shown no 
        diminution since the last report issued by the working group in 
        1987, including--
                    (A) to influence world opinion;
                    (B) to undercut democratic processes and 
                institutions in the United States and partner nations;
                    (C) to challenge the international liberal order; 
                and
                    (D) to establish an unfettered sphere of influence.
            (5) The Director of National Intelligence concluded in 
        light of the Russian Federation's hacking of the 2016 
        presidential election that ``Russian efforts to influence the 
        2016 U.S. presidential election represent the most recent 
        expression of Moscow's longstanding desire to undermine the 
        U.S.-led liberal democratic order.''.
            (6) The Russian Federation is deploying an array of 
        military, cyber, intelligence, and economic tactics to weaken 
        United States democratic institutions, divide Europe from the 
        United States, divide Europe from within, undermine 
        organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
        and the European Union, and coerce partners to cooperate with 
        Russia.
            (7) Militarily, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered 
        the forcible and illegal occupation of Crimea in March 2014 and 
        the invasion of Georgia in 2008.
            (8) The Russian military, in which President Putin has 
        invested heavily, continues to engage in acts of aggression and 
        intimidation against United States allies across Europe.
            (9) The Russian Federation's subversive activities 
        undermine trust in democratic systems, giving rise to political 
        instability.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Bucket Drowning Prevention Act of 
1993.''

SEC. 2. LABELING STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.

    On October 1, 1994, or 240 days after the date of the enactment of 
this title, whichever first occurs, there is established and effective 
a consumer product safety standard under section 9 of the Consumer 
Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2058), to eliminate or reduce the risk of 
injury or death resulting from infants falling into 4-gallon to 6-
gallon buckets containing liquid. Such standard, when established, 
shall require straight sided or slightly tapered, open head containers 
with a capacity of more than 4 gallons and less than 6 gallons 
(referred to in this Act as a ``bucket''), to bear one warning label in 
English and Spanish. The label shall meet the following requirements:
            (1) The label shall be permanent so that such label cannot 
        be removed, torn or defaced without the aid of tools or 
        solvents.
            (2) The label shall be at least 7 inches in height, and 
        3\1/2\ inches in width, or any larger size as the labeler may 
        choose.
            (3) The label shall be centered on one side of the bucket 
        just below the point where the handle is inserted.
            (4) The label shall have a border or other form of contrast 
        around its edges to delineate it from any other information on 
        the bucket.
            (5) The label shall bear (A) the signal word ``WARNING'' in 
        both English and Spanish, in bold uppercase lettering, and (B) 
        in upper and lower case lettering the words ``Children Can Fall 
        Into Bucket and Drown. Keep Children Away From Buckets With 
        Even a Small Amount of Liquid.'', with an equivalent Spanish 
        translation in at least the same type size as English. The 
        signal word panel shall be preceded by a safety alert symbol 
        consisting of an exclamation mark in a triangle.
            (6) The label shall be clear and conspicuous and in 
        contrasting colors.
            (7) The label shall include a picture of a child falling 
        into a bucket containing liquid. An encircled slash symbol 
        shall be superimposed over, and surround the pictorial. The 
        picture shall be positioned between the signal word panel and 
        the message panel.

SEC. 3. CERTAIN BUCKETS NOT AFFECTED.

    The standard established by section 2 applies only to buckets 
manufactured or imported on or after the effective date of such 
standard, and buckets manufactured or imported before such effective 
date may be sold without the warning label required by section 2 even 
though such sales occur after that date. The Consumer Product Safety 
Commission, by rule, shall prohibit a manufacturer, filler, 
distributor, and retailer from stockpiling buckets to which consumer 
product safety standards established by section 2 of this title would 
have applied but for the preceding sentence. For purposes of this 
section, the term ``stockpiling'' shall have the same meaning as that 
provided by section 9(g)(2) of the Consumer Product Safety Act.

SEC. 4. PROHIBITED ACTS.

    (a) Removal of Label.--Once placed on a bucket pursuant to the 
standard provided by section 2, it shall be a prohibited act under 
section 19 of the Consumer Product Safety Act for any person in the 
chain of distribution of the bucket to intentionally cover, obstruct, 
tear, deface or remove the label.
    (b) Consumer Product Safety Standard.--The standard established by 
section 2 of this title shall be considered a consumer product safety 
standard established under the Consumer Product Safety Act.

SEC. 5. EXISTING LABELS.

    Notwithstanding section 2, any bucket label in use on September 1, 
1993, may, if such label is substantially in conformance with the 
requirements of paragraphs (3), (4), (5), and (6) of section 2, 
continue to be placed on buckets until 12 months after the date of the 
enactment of this title. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, 
buckets subject to the provisions of this section must bear both an 
English and Spanish language label on and after the effective date of 
the standard established by section 2.

SEC. 6. AMENDMENTS.

    Section 553 of title 5, United States Code, shall apply with 
respect to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's issuance of any 
amendments or changes to the bucket labeling standard established by 
section 2 of this title. Sections 7 and 9 of the Consumer Product 
Safety Act shall not apply to such amendments or changes.

SEC. 7. RESPONSIBILITY FOR LABELING.

    (a) Labeling.--The standard established by section 2 requires the 
labeling of buckets covered by such standard to be the responsibility 
of the manufacturer of any such buckets, unless otherwise specified by 
contract between the manufacturer, and either the filler, distributor, 
or retailer of such buckets. Under no circumstances shall any such 
bucket enter the stream of commerce without such label.
    (b) Time for Placing Labels.--The required label must be on the 
bucket at the time it is sold or delivered to the end user of the 
bucket or its contents or, in the case of a bucket intended to be sold 
to the public in an empty state, at the time it is shipped to a 
retailer for sale to the public.

SEC. 8. PERFORMANCE STANDARD.

    (a) Performance Standard.--Within 30 days following the date of 
enactment of this title, the Consumer Product Safety Commission shall 
commence a proceeding under the Consumer Product Safety Act for the 
issuance of a performance standard for buckets to address the drowning 
hazard associated with this product. Section 553 of title 5, United 
States Code, shall apply with respect to the issuance of such standard. 
Sections 7 and 9 of the Consumer Product Safety Act shall not apply to 
the issuance of such standard. Such standard shall take effect at such 
time as may be prescribed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 
but in no event later than 15 months following the date of the 
enactment of this title. The Consumer Product Safety Commission shall 
consider any American Society for Testing and Materials voluntary 
performance standard in existence prior to such date of enactment.
    (b) Labeling Requirements.--The labeling requirements under section 
2 shall not apply to buckets certified by the Consumer Product Safety 
Commission as meeting the performance standard in subsection (a).

SEC. 9. CONSULTATION.

    To avoid duplicative and conflicting labeling, the Consumer Product 
Safety Commission shall complete a consultation with relevant Federal 
agencies within 30 days following the date of enactment of this Act.

SEC. 10. REQUIREMENT FOR CPSC STUDY.

    (a) The Consumer Product Safety Commission shall conduct a study to 
determine:
            (1) consumer use patterns of new and used 4- to 6- gallon 
        steel and metal buckets; and
            (2) the prevalence of incidents of death or injury to 
        children associated with the use of such containers.
The study also shall be designed to identify use patterns that may 
signify that such containers are being used by consumers in and around 
a household, residence, school or otherwise. The study shall be 
completed within 12 months of the date of enactment. The study shall be 
repeated for two consecutive years following completion of the initial 
study. The study shall be repeated if necessary to track any changes in 
use patterns or to identify incidents of death or injury.
    (b) During the pendency of this study and in the absence of any 
regulation of 4- to 6-gallon containers by the Commission thereafter, 
metal containers which would otherwise be required to comply with the 
labeling requirements of section 3 are exempt from such requirements. 
For the purposes of section 26 of the Consumer Product Safety Act, such 
exemption shall be considered a consumer product safety standard. Upon 
review of the results of the study, the CPSC shall decide whether to 
continue this exemption, to require compliance by metal containers, or 
to consider further study in the future.
answer:
Bucket Drowning Prevention Act of 1993 - Establishes a consumer product safety standard requiring four- to six-gallon buckets to bear a warning label that includes a picture of a child falling into a bucket and the words, in English and Spanish:  "WARNING.

answer:

Temporary Extension Act of 2010 - (Sec. 2) Amends the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 with respect to the state-established individual emergency unemployment compensation account (EUCA). Extends the final date for entering a federal-state agreement under the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program through April 5, 2010. Postpones the termination of the program until September 4, 2010.

Amends the Assistance for Unemployed Workers and Struggling Families Act to extend until April 5, 2010: (1) federal-state agreements increasing regular unemployment compensation payments to individuals; and (2) requirements that federal payments to states cover 100% of EUC.

Amends the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2008 to exempt weeks of unemployment between enactment of this Act and September 4, 2010, from the prohibition in the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 against federal matching payments to a state for the first week in an individual's eligibility period for which extended compensation or sharable regular compensation is paid if the state law provides for payment of regular compensation to an individual for his or her first week of otherwise compensable unemployment. (Thus allows temporary federal matching for the first week of extended benefits for states with no waiting period.)

Requires specified transfers from the general fund of the Treasury to the EUCA to fund the extension of the EUC program.

(Sec. 3) Amends the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to extend through March 31, 2010, the eligibility of a qualified beneficiary for COBRA (health insurance continuation benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985) continuation coverage and premium assistance.

Redefines "premium assistance eligible individual'' for COBRA continuation coverage to treat as a qualifying event for such coverage the involuntary termination of employment after enactment of this Act of any qualified beneficiary who did not make (or who made and discontinued) an election of such coverage on the basis of a reduction of hours of employment.

(Sec. 4) Extends specified appropriations and funds made available and authority granted pursuant to the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2010 for continued extension or reauthorization of certain surface transportation programs through the earlier of March 28, 2010, or enactment into law of an Act to extend or reauthorize such programs.

Declares that such extension shall not apply if an extension of such programs and authorities for a longer term is enacted before enactment of this Act.

(Sec. 5) Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to extend through March 31, 2010: (1) the 0% update to the conversion factor in the Medicare physican payment computation; and (2) the Medicare physical therapy services caps exceptions process.

(Sec. 7) Amends the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010 to extend the use of 2009 poverty guidelines through March 31, 2010. Prohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) from publishing updated poverty guidelines for 2010 until after such date.

(Sec. 8) Amends the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2010 to extend through March 28, 2010, the national flood insurance program.

(Sec. 9) Amends the ARRA to extend through March 28, 2010, the small business loan guarantee program. Authorizes appropriations.

(Sec. 10) Extends through March 28, 2010, the adjustment of royalty fees for the secondary transmission of the primary analog transmissions of network stations and superstations. Extends through such date the moratorium on copyright liability for subscribers not receiving a signal of Grade A intensity of a local network television broadcast station and receiving signals of network stations affiliated with the same network, if such subscribers had satellite service of such network signal terminated between July 11, 1998, and October 31, 1999.

Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to extend through March 28, 2010, the exemption of a subscriber from the originating station consent requirement for retransmission of broadcasting station signals if the subscriber receives the retransmitted signals directly to a home satellite antenna, is located outside the station's local market, and resides in an unserved household.

Extends through March 29, 2010, the requirement that certain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit: (1) a television broadcast station that provides retransmission consent from engaging in exclusive contracts for carriage or failing to negotiate in good faith; and (2) a multichannel video programming distributor from failing to negotiate in good faith for retransmission consent.

(Sec. 11) Designates this Act, except Sec. 5, as an emergency in the House of Representatives pursuant to the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, and in the Senate as an emergency requirement.
