industry standards established by the National Emergency Number 
Association or other applicable industry standards organizations. Such 
entity shall provide access to the infrastructure at just and 
reasonable, nondiscriminatory rates, terms and conditions. The 
telecommunications carrier or other entity shall provide such access to 
the infrastructure on a stand-alone basis.
    (c) State Authority.--Nothing in this Act, the Communications Act 
of 1934, or any Commission regulation or order shall prevent the 
imposition on or collection from a provider of voice services, 
including IP-enabled voice services, of any fee or charge specifically 
designated or presented as dedicated by a State, political subdivision 
thereof, or Indian tribe on an equitable, and non-discriminatory basis 
for the support of 911 and E-911 services if no portion of the revenue 
derived from such fee or charge is obligated or expended for any 
purpose other than support of 911 and E-911 services or enhancements of 
such services.
    (d) Standard.--The Commission may establish regulations imposing 
requirements or obligations on providers of voice services, entities

[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``San Francisco Bay Shipping and 
Fisheries Enhancement Act of 1997''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) San Francisco Bay is a vital environmental, industrial, 
        and recreational resource to the San Francisco Bay area and to 
        the Nation.
            (2) Over 800 tank vessels enter San Francisco Bay each 
        year, carrying hundreds of millions of gallons of oil and other 
        hazardous substances.
            (3) The small oil spill of October 28, 1996, showed that 
        current safeguards against oil pollution are inadequate, and 
        that even small oil spills in San Francisco Bay are both costly 
        to mitigate and harmful to the environment, including fish, 
        mammals, and birds.
            (4) Because of the bathymetry of San Francisco Bay, the 
        Coast Guard has been unable to make needed improvements in the 
        routing of tankers and other deep draft vessels.
            (5) The presence of multiple underwater hazards less than 
        40 feet below the surface and in close proximity to shipping 
        lanes, combined with increased traffic of tankers with drafts 
        in excess of 45 feet, significantly increase the likelihood of 
        collisions that would result in the release of substantial 
        amounts of oil or other hazardous substances, severely damaging 
        both the economy and the environment of the San Francisco Bay 
        area.
            (6) Removing hazards to navigation to allow greater 
        separation of vessels carrying oil or other hazardous 
        substances is a simple and economical step that can be taken to 
        reduce substantially the risk of oil pollution, improve the 
        safety of navigation, and reduce threats to the fish, wildlife, 
        and environment of San Francisco Bay.

SEC. 3. NAVIGATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of the Army shall develop and carry 
out in accordance with this section a navigation project in San 
Francisco Bay, California, to remove underwater hazards to navigation 
in the vicinity of Alcatraz Island.
    (b) Rerouting of Vessel Traffic.--The Secretary shall design the 
navigation project under this section to facilitate the rerouting of 
vessel traffic in San Francisco Bay to minimize the risk of an oil or 
hazardous substance spill resulting from collisions between vessels or 
with an underwater hazard.
    (c) Minimization of Impact.--In developing and carrying out the 
navigation project under this section, the Secretary shall minimize, to 
the maximum extent practicable, impacts on the environment and on 
commercial and recreational fisheries.
    (d) Plan.--
            (1) General requirement.--In consultation with appropriate 
        Federal, State, and local government agencies and in accordance 
        with applicable Federal and State environmental laws, the 
        Secretary shall develop a plan for implementation of the 
        navigation project under this section.
            (2) Contents.--The plan shall include initial design and 
        engineering, underwater hazard removal, and, if needed, 
        environmental mitigation.
            (3) Target dates.--
                    (A) Feasibility study.--The first phase of the plan 
                shall be completed within 1 year of the date of the 
                enactment of this Act and shall consist of a 
                feasibility study for the project described in 
                subsection (a). The feasibility study shall include 
                scoping, development of alternative designs for the 
                project, cost/benefit analysis, and selection of final 
                project design. In conducting the cost/benefit analysis 
                and selecting a final project design, the Secretary 
                shall consider the economic and environmental benefits 
                of oil spill aversion reasonably to be expected from 
                the completion of the project.
                    (B) Implementation.--The second phase of the plan 
                shall be completed not later than 3 years after the 
                date of the enactment of this Act and shall consist of 
                underwater hazard removal, transportation, and disposal 
                of the removed material in accordance with the final 
                project design.
                    (C) Mitigation and monitoring.--The final phase of 
                the plan shall consist of any mitigation needed due to 
                environmental impacts, and environmental monitoring of 
                removal, disposal, and mitigation sites (if different 
                from the disposal site or sites), shall commence as 
                soon as is practicable after the completion of the 
                implementation phase, and shall continue for not less 
                than 5 years thereafter.
    (e) Non-Federal Participation.--The non-Federal share of the cost 
of developing and carrying out the project under this section shall be 
25 percent.
    (f) Reports to Congress.--Not later than the last day of each of 
the time periods referred to in subsection (d)(3), the Secretary shall 
report to Congress on the progress being made toward development and 
implementation of the project under this section.

SEC. 4. MODIFICATION OF NAVIGATION LANES.

    The Commandant of the Coast Guard shall modify navigation lanes and 
reroute vessel traffic after the completion of the second phase of the 
navigation project required by section 3 to improve the safety and 
efficiency of vessel traffic in San Francisco Bay, California. In 
carrying out this section, the Commandant shall develop a vessel 
routing program that minimizes the risk of an oil or hazardous 
substance spill in San Francisco Bay.

SEC. 5. OIL SPILL RISK ASSESSMENT.
