                        the program, including placement into high-

    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section take 
effect on October 1, 2005.
[A]: Revises the mandatory work requirements of part A (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) (TANF) of title IV of the Social Security Act with respect to the limitation on the number of persons in a state who may be treated as engaged in work by reason of participation in educational activities. Removes two-parent families from the formula for such limitation. Creates an exception to the limitation for education in preparation for sector-specific, high-skill occupations to meet employer demand.

Defines sector-specific, high-demand, high-skill occupation to meet employer demand as an occupation that: (1) has been identified by the state workforce investment board or by the state agency administering the state TANF program as within state needs with regard to current and projected employment opportunities in specific industry sectors; (2) requires occupational training; and (3) provides a wage of at least 75 percent of the state median hourly wage.

SEC. 7. EXCEPTIONS.

    (a) Critical Uses.--A use of decaBDE, decaBDE mixtures, or decaBDE 
products by the Armed Forces or the aviation industry shall be exempt 
from the annual quotas or ban imposed by this Act if the Administrator 
determines that there is not a feasible alternative to such use. Such 
exemption shall be for a term of 5 years, and the Administrator may 
renew such exemption only if the Administrator determines that there is 
not a feasible alternative to such use at the time of such renewal.
    (b) Recycled Articles.--A recycled article that contains decaBDE 
shall be exempt from the annual quotas and ban imposed by this Act, 
unless the Administrator determines by rule that the article poses a 
threat to public health.

decaBDE product subsequent to its first sale at retail.
    (d) Low Concentration Articles.--The Administrator may by rule make 
exemptions from this Act for articles that contain decaBDE in 
concentrations that the Administrator determines to be unavoidable due 
to contamination of the environment by decaBDE.

SEC. 8. SAFER ALTERNATIVES.

    (a) Policy.--DecaBDE shall be replaced by safer alternatives. For 
the purposes of this section, a ``safer alternative'' means a 
substitute process, product, material, chemical, strategy, or 
combination of these that serves a functionally equivalent purpose to 
decaBDE that, when compared to decaBDE, would reduce the potential for 
harm to human health or the environment.
    (b) Replacements.--With regard to a use of decaBDE, decaBDE 
mixtures, or decaBDE products, no chemical substance (as defined in 
section 3(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act), mixture (as defined 
in section 3(8) of the Toxic Substances Control Act) containing that 
chemical substance, or article containing that chemical substance may 
be used in lieu thereof if the Administrator determines that such 
chemical substance is a persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic 
chemical.
    (c) Studies and Notification.--The Administrator shall require any 
entity who produces for distribution in commerce a chemical substance 
that is a substitute for decaBDE to provide the Administrator with all 
existing information about the hazard and exposure characteristics of 
the chemical substance that--
            (1) is known to, in the possession or control of, or 
        reasonably ascertainable by the entity; and
            (2) has not previously been submitted to the Administrator. 
        The Administrator shall require any such entity to notify the 
        Administrator not less than 90 days before new or existing 
        chemicals are introduced into interstate commerce for 
        significant new uses as substitutes for decaBDE.

SEC. 9. REPORT TO CONGRESS.

    The Administrator shall monitor, and, not later than December 31, 
2014, submit a report to Congress on, the production, use, and 
consumption of decaBDE. Such report shall include data on production, 
use, and consumption of decaBDE in the United States and on the 
environmental and economic effects of decaBDE.

SEC. 10. RELATION TO OTHER LAWS.

    Nothing in this Act affects the right of a State or local 
government to adopt or enforce any regulation, requirement, or 
liability that is more stringent than a regulation, requirement, or 
liability established by this Act.

[A]:
Decabromine Elimination and Control Act of 2009 - Makes it unlawful, beginning January 1, 2013, to produce for distribution in commerce, distribute in commerce, import, or export decabromodiphenyl ether, CAS No. 1163-19-5, either pure or in commercial mixtures which are predominantly decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE) or decaBDE mixtures or products. Phases in such ban through a series of annual quotas through 2012.

Requires each entity that engaged in such decaBDE activities during 2009 to report on them, including the amount of decaBDE and decaBDE mixtures used, and to then report annually.

Requires an entity that engages in decaBDE activities to: (1) disclose to any entity that receives decaBDE, decaBDE mixtures, or decaBDE products that these contain decaBDE; and (2) disclose to the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) any articles that contain decaBDE.

Applies to violations of this Act the enforcement procedures applicable to violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Allows citizens' civil actions to restrain violations.

Provides exceptions from the restrictions imposed by this Act relating to critical uses, recycled articles, resale, and low-concentration articles.

States as policy that decaBDE shall be replaced by safer alternatives and prohibits use of any alternative determined to contain a chemical substance that is a persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemical. Directs the Administrator to: (1) require any entity that produces a chemical substance that is a substitute for decaBDE to provide all existing information about the hazard and exposure characteristics of the chemical substance that is known to, in the possession or control of, or reasonably ascertainable by the entity and that has not previously been submitted; and (2) require any such entity to notify the Administrator at least 90 days before new or existing chemicals are introduced into interstate commerce for significant new uses as decaBDE substitutes.
