SEC. 3. IMPROVEMENT OF HABITAT FOR GREATER SAGE-GROUSE AND MULE DEER.

    (a) Categorical Exclusion.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall develop 1 or 
        more categorical exclusions (as defined in section 1508.4 of 
        title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (or a successor 
        regulation)) for covered vegetation management activities 
        carried out to protect, restore, or improve habitat for greater 
        sage-grouse or mule deer.
            (2) Administration.--In developing and administering a 
        categorical exclusion under paragraph (1), the Secretary 
        shall--
                    (A) comply with the National Environmental Policy

                Federal Regulations (or successor regulations), in 
                determining whether to use the categorical exclusion; 
                and
                    (C) consider--
                            (i) the relative efficacy of landscape-
                        scale habitat projects;
                            (ii) the likelihood of continued declines 
                        in the populations of greater sage-grouse and 
                        mule deer in the absence of landscape-scale 
                        vegetation management; and
                            (iii) the need for habitat restoration

    (b) Implementation of Covered Vegetative Management Activities 
Within the Range of Greater Sage-grouse and Mule Deer.--If a 
categorical exclusion developed under subsection (a) is used to 
implement a covered vegetative management activity in an area within 
the range of both greater sage-grouse and mule deer, the covered 
vegetative management activity shall protect, restore, or improve 
habitat concurrently for both greater sage-grouse and mule deer.
    (c) Long-term Monitoring and Maintenance.--Before commencing any 
covered vegetation management activity that is covered by a categorical 
exclusion under subsection (a), the Secretary shall develop a long-term 
monitoring and maintenance plan, covering at least the 20 year-period 
beginning on the date of commencement, to ensure that management of the 
treated area does not degrade the habitat gains secured by the covered 
vegetation management activity.
    (d) Disposal of Vegetative Material.--Subject to applicable local 
restrictions, any vegetative material resulting from a covered 
vegetation management activity that is covered by a categorical 
exclusion under subsection (a) may be--
            (1) used for--
                    (A) fuel wood; or
                    (B) other products; or
            (2) piled or burned, or both.
    (e) Treatment for Temporary Roads.--
            (1) In general.--Notwithstanding section 2(1)(B)(xi), any 
        temporary road constructed in carrying out a covered vegetation 
        management activity that is covered by a categorical exclusion 
        under subsection (a)--

                later than 3 years after the earlier of the date on 
                which--
                            (i) the temporary road is no longer needed; 
                        and
                            (ii) the project is completed.
            (2) Requirement.--A treatment under paragraph (1) shall 
        include reestablishing native vegetative cover--
                    (A) as soon as practicable; but
                    (B) not later than 10 years after the date of 
                completion of the applicable covered vegetation 
                management activity.

            Passed the Senate September 6, 2018.

            Attest:

                                                JULIE E. ADAMS,

                                                             Secretary.

Answer: Sage-Grouse and Mule Deer Habitat Conservation and Restoration Act of 2017 This bill directs the Department of Interior to categorically exclude vegetative management activities that establish or improve habitat for greater sage-grouse and mule deer from environmental review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Examples of vegetative management activities include restoring native vegetation following a natural disturbance or preventing the expansion of nonnative or invasive vegetation into such habitat.  A categorical exclusion under NEPA is a category of actions which do not have a significant effect on the human environment and for which neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is required. The bill prohibits the categorical exclusion from including: (1) activity conducted in a wilderness area or wilderness study area, or (2) activity for the construction of a permanent road or trail. Before commencing a vegetative management activity that is covered by a categorical exclusion, Interior must develop a long-term monitoring and maintenance plan, covering at least 20 years, to ensure that management of the treated area does not degrade the habitat gains secured by the vegetative management activity. Vegetative material resulting from vegetative management activity may be: (1) used for fuel wood or other products; or (2) piled or burned, or both.  Native vegetative cover must be reestablished on a temporary road constructed in connection with a categorically excluded vegetative management activity in order to minimize soil erosion from areas disturbed by the temporary road.

Answer:
Free Market Healthcare Restoration and Coverage Act of 2015 This bill repeals the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the health care provisions of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, effective May 31, 2017. Provisions amended by the repealed provisions are restored. PPACA and the Internal Revenue Code are amended to repeal the requirements for individuals to maintain minimum essential coverage and for large employers to pay penalties if a full-time employee: (1) must wait longer than 60 days to enroll in an employer-sponsored health plan, or (2) receives a premium assistance tax credit or reduced cost-sharing. Coverage reporting requirements for providers and large employers are also repealed. These amendments are applied as if the repealed provisions had not been enacted. Individuals enrolled in a health plan purchased through the federal health insurance exchange at the time of enactment of this Act who are ineligible for a premium assistance tax credit solely as a result of a determination by the Supreme Court in King v. Burwell are eligible for the tax credit. This applies to coverage months beginning after December 2013. Group health coverage in which an individual was enrolled for any period after enactment of PPACA (March 23, 2010) is a grandfathered health plan under PPACA and is exempt from some coverage requirements. Essential health benefits are defined by states. This amendment takes effect as if included in PPACA. The budgetary effects of this bill must not be entered on the PAYGO scorecards maintained by the Office of Management and Budget.
