(5) distribute the obligation limitation provided for Federal- 
aid highways, less the aggregate amounts not distributed under

hood Reinvestment Corporation for mortgage foreclosure mitigation 
activities, under the following terms and conditions: 
(1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (‘‘NRC’’), 
shall make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by 
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 
(with match to be determined by the NRC based on affordability 
and the economic conditions of an area; a match also may 
be waived by the NRC based on the aforementioned conditions) 
to provide mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance primarily 
to States and areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures 
to help eliminate the default and foreclosure of mortgages of 
owner-occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such 
foreclosure. Other than areas with high rates of defaults and 
foreclosures, grants may also be provided to approved coun-
seling intermediaries based on a geographic analysis of the 
Nation by the NRC which determines where there is a preva-
lence of mortgages that are risky and likely to fail, including 
any trends for mortgages that are likely to default and face 
foreclosure. A State Housing Finance Agency may also be 
eligible where the State Housing Finance Agency meets all 
the requirements under this paragraph. A HUD-approved coun-
seling intermediary shall meet certain mortgage foreclosure 
mitigation assistance counseling requirements, as determined 
by the NRC, and shall be approved by HUD or the NRC 
as meeting these requirements. 
(2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only 
be made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes 
with mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mort-
gages shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and home-
owners will be provided such assistance that shall consist of 
activities that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result 
in the long-term affordability of the mortgage retained pursuant 
to such activity or another positive outcome for the homeowner. 
No funds made available under this paragraph may be provided 
directly to lenders or homeowners to discharge outstanding 
mortgage balances or for any other direct debt reduction pay-
ments. 
(3) The use of Mortgage Foreclosure Mitigation Assistance 
by approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing 
Finance Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the 
borrower’s financial situation, an evaluation of the current 
value of the property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling 
regarding the assumption of the mortgage by another non- 
Federal party, counseling regarding the possible purchase of 
the mortgage by a non-Federal third party, counseling and 
Requirements.

or the approval of a work-out strategy by all interested parties. 
(4) NRC may provide up to 15 percent of the total funds 
under this paragraph to its own charter members with expertise 
in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a certification 
by the NRC that the procedures for selection do not consist 
of any procedures or activities that could be construed as an 
unacceptable conflict of interest or have the appearance of 
impropriety. 
(5) HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing 
Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall 
have demonstrated experience in successfully working with 
financial institutions as well as borrowers facing default, delin-
quency and foreclosure as well as documented counseling 
capacity, outreach capacity, past successful performance and 
positive outcomes with documented counseling plans (including 
post mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan workout 
agreements and loan modification agreements. NRC may use 
other criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas. 
(6) Of the total amount made available under this para-
graph, up to $3,000,000 may be made available to build the 
mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity 
of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with 
HUD-approved counseling intermediaries and their partners, 
except that private financial institutions that participate in 
NRC training shall pay market rates for such training. 
(7) Of the total amount made available under this para-
graph, up to 4 percent may be used for associated administra-
tive expenses for the NRC to carry out activities provided 
under this section. 
(8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance grants may 
include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, 
as determined by the NRC.

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as 
the Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services 
Committee on its efforts to mitigate mortgage default.

all firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms 
traced are used in crime. 
(2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for purposes 
of determining which types, makes, or models of firearms are 
used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute 
a random sample and should not be considered representative 
of the larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or 
any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally traced 
to the first retail seller, and sources reported for firearms 
traced do not necessarily represent the sources or methods 
by which firearms in general are acquired for use in crime.

include preliminary findings and a description of areas of particular

in subsection (a) by an Inspector General is completed, the Sec-
retary, Attorney General, Administrator, Director, or President, 
as appropriate, shall make the results of the audit available to 
the public on the Internet website maintained by the Department, 
Administration, Foundation, or Corporation, respectively. The 
results shall be made available in redacted form to exclude— 
(1) any matter described in section 552(b) of title 5, United 
States Code; and 
(2) sensitive personal information for any individual, the 
public access to which could be used to commit identity theft 
or for other inappropriate or unlawful purposes. 
(c) A grant or contract funded by amounts appropriated by 
this Act may not be used for the purpose of defraying the costs 
of a banquet or conference that is not directly and programmatically 
related to the purpose for which the grant or contract was awarded, 
such as a banquet or conference held in connection with planning, 
training, assessment, review, or other routine purposes related to 
a project funded by the grant or contract. 
(d) Any person awarded a grant or contract funded by amounts 
appropriated by this Act shall submit a statement to the Secretary 
of Commerce, the Attorney General, the Administrator, Director,

the grant or contract will be made available through a subcontract 
or in any other manner to another person who has a financial 
interest in the person awarded the grant or contract.

bilization Act of 2008. 
(2) The term ‘‘covered dealership’’ means an automobile 
dealership that had a franchise agreement for the sale and 
service of vehicles of a brand or brands with a covered manufac-
turer in effect as of October 3, 2008, and such agreement 
was terminated, not assigned in the form existing on October 
3, 2008 to another covered manufacturer in connection with 
an acquisition of assets related to the manufacture of that 
vehicle brand or brands, not renewed, or not continued during 
the period beginning on October 3, 2008, and ending on 
December 31, 2010. 
(b) A covered dealership that was not lawfully terminated under 
applicable State law on or before April 29, 2009, shall have the 
right to seek, through binding arbitration, continuation, or 
reinstatement of a franchise agreement, or to be added as a 
franchisee to the dealer network of the covered manufacturer in 
the geographical area where the covered dealership was located 
when its franchise agreement was terminated, not assigned, not 
renewed, or not continued. Such continuation, reinstatement, or 
addition shall be limited to each brand owned and manufactured 
by the covered manufacturer at the time the arbitration commences, 
to the extent that the covered dealership had been a dealer for 
such brand at the time such dealer’s franchise agreement was 
terminated, not assigned, not renewed, or not continued. 
(c) Before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date 
of the enactment of this Act, a covered manufacturer shall provide 
to each covered dealership related to such covered manufacturer

to a covered dealership and the specific criteria pursuant to which 
such dealer was terminated, was not renewed, or was not assumed

(d) A covered dealership may elect to pursue the right to 
binding arbitration with the appropriate covered manufacturer. 
Such election must occur within 40 days of the date of enactment. 
The arbitration process must commence as soon as practicable 
thereafter with the selection of the arbitrator and conclude with 
the case being submitted to the arbitrator for deliberation within 
180 days of the date of enactment of this Act. The arbitrator 
may extend the time periods in this subsection for up to 30 days 
for good cause. The covered manufacturer and the covered dealer-
ship may present any relevant information during the arbitration. 
The arbitrator shall balance the economic interest of the covered 
dealership, the economic interest of the covered manufacturer, and 
the economic interest of the public at large and shall decide, based 
on that balancing, whether or not the covered dealership should 
be added to the dealer network of the covered manufacturer. The 
factors considered by the arbitrator shall include (1) the covered 
dealership’s profitability in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, (2) the 
Deadlines.

covered manufacturer’s overall business plan, (3) the covered dealer-
ship’s current economic viability, (4) the covered dealership’s satis-
faction of the performance objectives established pursuant to the 
applicable franchise agreement, (5) the demographic and geographic 
characteristics of the covered dealership’s market territory, (6) the 
covered dealership’s performance in relation to the criteria used 
by the covered manufacturer to terminate, not renew, not assume 
or not assign the covered dealership’s franchise agreement, and 
(7) the length of experience of the covered dealership. The arbitrator 
shall issue a written determination no later than 7 business days 
after the arbitrator determines that case has been fully submitted. 
At a minimum, the written determination shall include (1) a descrip-
tion of the covered dealership, (2) a clear statement indicating 
whether the franchise agreement at issue is to be renewed, contin-
ued, assigned or assumed by the covered manufacturer, (3) the 
key facts relied upon by the arbitrator in making the determination, 
and (4) an explanation of how the balance of economic interests 
supports the arbitrator’s determination. 
(e) The arbitrator shall be selected from the list of qualified 
arbitrators maintained by the Regional Office of the American 
Arbitration Association (AAA), in the Region where the dealership 
is located, by mutual agreement of the covered dealership and 
covered manufacturer. If agreement cannot be reached on a suitable 
arbitrator, the parties shall request AAA to select the arbitrator. 
There will be no depositions in the proceedings, and discovery 
shall be limited to requests for documents specific to the covered 
dealership. The parties shall be responsible for their own expenses, 
fees, and costs, and shall share equally all other costs associated 
with the arbitration, such as arbitrator fees, meeting room charges, 
and administrative costs. The arbitration shall be conducted in 
the State where the covered dealership is located. Parties will 
have the option of conducting arbitration electronically and tele-
phonically, by mutual agreement of both parties. The arbitrator 
shall not award compensatory, punitive, or exemplary damages 
to any party. If the arbitrator finds in favor of a covered dealership, 
the covered manufacturer shall as soon as practicable, but not 
later than 7 business days after receipt of the arbitrator’s deter-
mination, provide the dealer a customary and usual letter of intent 
to enter into a sales and service agreement. After executing the 
sales and service agreement and successfully completing the oper-
ational prerequisites set forth therein, a covered dealership shall 
return to the covered manufacturer any financial compensation 
provided by the covered manufacturer in consideration of the cov-
ered manufacturer’s initial determination to terminate, not renew, 
not assign or not assume the covered dealership’s applicable fran-
chise agreement. 
(f) Any legally binding agreement resulting from a voluntary 
negotiation between a covered manufacturer and covered dealer-
ship(s) shall not be considered inconsistent with this provision 
and any covered dealership that is a party to such agreement 
shall forfeit the right to arbitration established by this provision. 
(g) Notwithstanding the requirements of this provision, nothing 
herein shall prevent a covered manufacturer from lawfully termi-
nating a covered dealership in accordance with applicable State 
law.

appropriated under titles III through VI of this Act may be made 
available to provide assistance for a foreign country under a new 
bilateral agreement governing the terms and conditions under which 
such assistance is to be provided unless such agreement includes 
a provision stating that assistance provided by the United States

ment, and the Secretary of State shall expeditiously seek to nego-
tiate amendments to existing bilateral agreements, as necessary, 
to conform with this requirement.

be withheld from obligation from funds appropriated for assistance 
for fiscal year 2011 and allocated for the central government of

PUBLIC LAW 111–117—DEC. 16, 2009 
(1) The provisions of this section shall not apply to any 
country or entity the Secretary of State determines— 
(A) does not assess taxes on United States assistance 
or which has an effective arrangement that is providing 
substantial reimbursement of such taxes; or 
(B) the foreign policy interests of the United States 
outweigh the purpose of this section to ensure that United 
States assistance is not subject to taxation. 
(2) The Secretary of State shall consult with the Commit-
tees on Appropriations at least 15 days prior to exercising 
the authority of this subsection with regard to any country 
or entity. 
(f) IMPLEMENTATION.—The Secretary of State shall issue rules, 
regulations, or policy guidance, as appropriate, to implement the 
prohibition against the taxation of assistance contained in this 
section. 
(g) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section— 
(1) the terms ‘‘taxes’’ and ‘‘taxation’’ refer to value added 
taxes and customs duties imposed on commodities financed 
with United States assistance for programs for which funds 
are appropriated by this Act; and 
(2) the term ‘‘bilateral agreement’’ refers to a framework 
bilateral agreement between the Government of the United 
States and the government of the country receiving assistance 
that describes the privileges and immunities applicable to 
United States foreign assistance for such country generally, 
or an individual agreement between the Government of the 
United States and such government that describes, among other 
things, the treatment for tax purposes that will be accorded 
the United States assistance provided under that agreement. 
RESERVATIONS OF FUNDS 
SEC. 7014. (a) Funds appropriated under titles II through VI 
of this Act which are specifically designated may be reprogrammed

designation if compliance with the designation is made impossible 
by operation of any provision of this or any other Act: Provided, 
That any such reprogramming shall be subject to the regular 
notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations: Pro-
vided further, That assistance that is reprogrammed pursuant to 
this subsection shall be made available under the same terms 
and conditions as originally provided. 
(b) In addition to the authority contained in subsection (a), 
the original period of availability of funds appropriated by this 
Act and administered by the United States Agency for International 
Development (USAID) that are specifically designated for particular 
programs or activities by this or any other Act shall be extended 
for an additional fiscal year if the USAID Administrator determines 
and reports promptly to the Committees on Appropriations that 
the termination of assistance to a country or a significant change 
in circumstances makes it unlikely that such designated funds 
can be obligated during the original period of availability: Provided, 
That such designated funds that continue to be available for an 
additional fiscal year shall be obligated only for the purpose of 
such designation.

‘‘(3) The authority to make loans under this section shall 
expire on the date that is 5 years after the date of the enactment 
of this paragraph unless the Secretary of the Treasury, not 
later than 60 days before such expiration date or 60 days 
prior to the renewal of the decision governing the New Arrange-
ments to Borrow (NAB), whichever occurs first, certifies to 
the appropriate congressional committees, that— 
‘‘(A) no amendments made, or anticipated to be made, 
to the NAB to achieve an expanded and more flexible 
NAB, as described in paragraph 17 of the G20 Leaders’ 
Statement at the 2009 London Summit, will impair the 
ability of the Secretary of the Treasury to consider a 
renewal of the NAB decision at intervals no greater than 
5 years and to withdraw the adherence of the United 
States to the NAB decision as is currently provided under 
paragraph 19 of the New Arrangement to Borrow, adopted 
by the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund 
(IMF) on January 27, 1997; and 
‘‘(B)(i) the IMF will borrow resources from members 
under the NAB only when quota resources need to be 
supplemented in order to forestall or cope with an impair-
ment of the international monetary system or to deal with 
an exceptional situation that poses a threat to the stability 
of that system; 
‘‘(ii) the IMF has, prior to any activation of the NAB, 
fully explored other means of funding to supplement any 
potential shortfall in quota resources necessary to forestall 
or cope with an impairment of the international monetary 
system or to deal with an exceptional situation that poses 
a threat to the stability of that system; or 
‘‘(iii) it is in the United States’ strategic economic 
interest to maintain the relative size or lower of the United 
States contribution to the NAB as in effect on the date 
of the certification. 
‘‘(4) Not later than 15 days before submitting the certifi-
cation under paragraph (3), the Secretary of the Treasury shall 
consult 
with 
the 
appropriate 
congressional 
committees 
regarding such certification.’’.
