Example Output: National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program Reauthorization Act of 2006 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to change from 2000 to 2020 the target year for achieving the objectives established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for reductions in the rate of mortality from breast and cervical cancer in the United States for the committee coordinating Public Health Service activities.

Directs the Secretary to establish a demonstration project which allows the Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to waive requirements for awarding breast and cervical cancer grants that require 60% of grant funds to be spent on screening and referrals for medical treatments and no more than 40% to be spent on other activities for not more than five states, if: (1) the state involved will use the waiver to leverage private funds to supplement screening and referral services or the application of such requirements would result in a barrier to the enrollment of women; (2) the state involved provides assurance that the state will annually demonstrate how it will use the waiver to maintain or expand the level of screening and follow-up services provided; (3) the state involved submits to the Secretary a plan for maintaining the level of activities carried out under the waiver after the expiration of the waiver; (4) the Secretary finds that granting such a waiver to a state will not reduce the number of women in the state who receive such services, including screening for both breast and cervical cancers; and (5) the Secretary finds that granting such a waiver to a state will not adversely affect the quality of such services. Requires the Secretary to grant such waivers for a period of two years. Allows the Secretary to extend a waiver, upon request of a state, for additional two-year periods if the Secretary reviews performance under the waiver and finds that the waiver requirements are and have been met.

Requires the Secretary to include as part of the evaluations of the activities carried out pursuant to breast and cervical cancer grants: (1) the total amount of dollars leveraged annually from private entities in states receiving a waiver and how these amounts were used; (2) for states receiving a waiver, the percentages of the grant expended on screening and referral services and on other services or activities; (3) the number of states receiving waivers annually; (4) the number of women receiving screening and referral services in programs before and after the granting of a waiver; (5) the average annual level of state fiscal expenditures for such services for the year preceding the grant of the waiver; and (6) the amount of non-federal contributions by the state according to source and the proportion of non-federal funds to federal funds. Prohibits the use of amounts to which a waiver applies to increase the number of salaried employees.

Authorizes appropriations for breast and cervical cancer grants from FY2007-FY2011.

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Seafood Safety Enforcement Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS

    (a) Chloramphenicol, a potent antibiotic, can cause severe toxic 
effects in humans, including hypo-aplastic anemia, which is usually 
irreversible and fatal. The drug is administered to humans only in 
life-threatening situations when less toxic drugs are not effective.
    (b) Because of these human health impacts, chloramphenicol and 
similar drugs are not approved for use in food-producing animals in the 
United States. However, other countries have been found to use these 
drugs in the aquaculture of shrimp and other seafood, including 
Thailand, Vietnam, and China.
    (c) The majority of shrimp consumed by the United States is 
imported. The nation imports 400,000 metric tons of shrimp annually, 
and the percentage of shrimp imports rises each year. Thailand and 
Vietnam are the top two exporters of shrimp to the United States, and 
China is the fifth largest exporter of shrimp to the United States.
    (d) Upon detection of chloramphenicol in certain shipments of 
seafood from China and other nations, in 2002 the European Union and 
Canada severely restricted imports of shrimp and other food from these 
nations.
    (e) The United States Food and Drug Administration inspects only 2 
percent of all seafood imports into the United States and utilizes a 
testing procedure that cannot detect the presence of chloramphenicol 
below 1 part per billion. The European Union and Canada use testing 
protocols that can detect such substances to 0.3 parts per billion.
    (f) While Food and Drug Administration import testing did not 
detect chloramphenicol in shrimp imported from these nations in 2002, 
independent testing performed by the state of Louisiana detected 
chloramphenicol at a level of over 2 parts per billion in crawfish 
imported from China.
    (g) Imports of seafood from nations that utilize substances banned 
in the United States pose potential threats to United States consumers. 
Denial of entry to contaminated shrimp and other products to the 
European Union and Canada will likely redirect imports to the United 
States of contaminated products turned away from these countries.
    (h) Immediate and focused actions must be taken by the Federal 
government to improve enforcement of food import restrictions of 
seafood imports in order to protect United States consumers and ensure 
safety of the food supply.

SEC. 3. CONTAMINATED SEAFOOD.

    Section 801 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
381) is amended by--

        more substances listed in section 530.41(a) of title 21, Code 
        of Federal Regulations, or (5) such article is seafood 
        originating from an exporter or country that the Secretary has 
        identified in guidance as a likely source of articles subject 
        to refusal of admission under clause (4) of this sentence, then 
        such article shall be refused admission, except as provided in 
        subsection (c) of this section and, with respect to articles 
        subject to clause (5) of this sentence, except as provided in 
        subsection (b) of this section.'';
            (2) redesignating subsections (b) through (n) as 
        subsections (c) through (o), respectively; and
            (3) inserting after subsection (a) the following:
    ``(b)(1) Notwithstanding clause (5) of the third sentence in 
subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary may permit individual 
shipments of seafood originating in a country or from an exporter 
listed in guidance to be admitted into the United States if evidence 
acceptable to the Secretary is presented that the seafood in that 
shipment does not bear or contain a substance listed in section 
530.41(a) of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations.
    ``(2) The Secretary may remove a country or exporter listed in 
guidance under clause (5) of the third sentence of subsection (a) of 
this section only if the country or exporter has shown to the 
satisfaction of the Secretary that each substance at issue is no longer 
sold for use in, being used in, or being used in a manner that could 
contaminate food-producing animals in the country at issue.''.

may consider--
            (1) the detection of substances described in section 
        801(a)(4) of that Act by the Secretary;

        substances in shipments of seafood that originate from such 
        country or exporter; and
            (5) other evidence or information as determined by the 
        Secretary.
    (c) Annual Report.--The Secretary shall provide a report within 30 
days after the end of each fiscal year to the Senate Committee on 
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and the House of Representatives 
Committee on Energy and Commerce setting forth the names of all 
countries and exporters for which the guidance described in subsection 
(a) was issued during that fiscal year.
    (d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this Act, and no amendment 
made by this Act, shall be construed to limit the existing authority of 
the Secretary of Health and Human Services or the Secretary of the 
Treasury to consider any information or to refuse admission of any 
article under section 801(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (21 U.S.C. 381(a)).

of Federal Regulations, then the Secretary shall notify the Senate 
Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and the House of 
Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce before issuing that 
tolerance. The Secretary shall include in the notification a draft of 
any changes in Federal statute law that may be necessary.
