SEC. 634. None of the funds provided in this or any previous 
Act, or hereinafter made available to the Department of Commerce 
shall be available to issue or renew, for any fishing vessel, any 
general or harpoon category fishing permit for Atlantic bluefin 
tuna that would allow the vessel—

fishing for, catching, or possessing Atlantic bluefin tuna; or 
(2) to fish for, catch, or possessing Atlantic bluefin tuna 
located by the use of an aircraft. 
SEC. 635. (a) This section may be cited as "Amy Boyer's Law", 
(b) Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The inappropriate display, sale, or use of social security 
numbers is a significant factor in a growing range of illegal 
activities, including fraud, identity theft, and, in some cases, 
stalking and other violent crimes. 
(2) Because social security numbers are used to track finan-
cial, health care, and other sensitive information about individ-
uals, the inappropriate sale or display of those numbers to 
the general public can result in serious invasions of individual 
privacy and facilitate the commission of criminal activity. 
(3) The Federal Government requires virtually every 
individual in the United States to obtain and maintain a social 
security number in order to pay taxes, to qualify for social 
security benefits, or to seek employment. An unintended con-
sequence of these requirements is that social security numbers 
have become tools that can be used to facilitate crime, fraud, 
and invasions of the privacy of the individuals to whom the 
numbers are assigned. Because the Federal Government cre-
ated and maintains the social security number system, and 
because the Federal Government does not permit persons to 
exempt themselves from the requirements of that system, it 
is appropriate for the Federal Government to take steps to 
stem abuse of the system. 
(4) A social security number is simply a sequence of num-
bers. In no meaningful sense can the number itself impart 
knowledge or ideas. Persons do not sell or transfer such num-
bers in order to convey any particularized message, nor to 
express to the purchaser any ideas, knowledge, or thoughts. 
(5) No one should seek to profit from the display or sale 
to the general public of social security numbers in cir-
cumstances that create a substantial risk of physical, emotional, 
or financial harm to the individuals to whom those numbers 
are assigned. 
(6) Various entities may display, sell, or use social security 
numbers, including the private sector, the Federal Government 
£ind State governments, and Federal and State courts. Whatever 
the source, the inappropriate display or sale to the general 
public of social security numbers should be prevented. 
PUBLIC LAW 106-553—APPENDIX B 
114 STAT. 2762A-115 
(7) Congress should enact legislation that will offer an 
individual assigned a social security number necessary protec-
tion from the display, sale, or purchase of the number in 
circumstances that might facilitate unlawful conduct or that 
might otherwise likely result in unfair and deceptive practices.

SEC. 903. COASTAL IMPACT ASSISTANCE. 
The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et 
seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following: 
"SEC. 31. COASTAL IMPACT ASSISTANCE. 
"(a) IN GENERAL.—Nothing in this section shall be construed 
as a permanent authorization. 
"(b) DEFINITIONS.—When used in this section: 
"(1) The term 'coastal political subdivision' means a county, 
parish, or any equivalent subdivision of a Producing Coastal 
State all or part of which subdivision lies within the coastal 
zone (as defined in section 304(1) of the Coastal Zone Manage-
ment Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1453(1)). 
"(2) The term 'coastal population' means the population 
of all political subdivisions, as determined by the most recent 
official data of the Census Bureau, contained in whole or in 
part within the designated coastal boundary of a State as 
defined in a State's coastal zone management program under 
the Coastal Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.). 
"(3) The term 'Coastal State' has the same meaning as 
provided by subsection 304(4) of the Coastal Zone Management 
Act (16 U.S.C. 1453(4)). 
"(4) The term 'coastline' has the same meaning as the 
term 'coast line' as defined in subsection 2(c) of the Submerged 
Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1301(c)). 
"(5) The term 'distance' means minimum great circle dis-
tance, measured in statute miles. 
"(6) The term 'leased tract' means a tract maintained under 
section 6 or leased under section 8 for the purpose of drilling 
for, developing, and producing oil and natural gas resources. 
"(7) The term 'Producing Coastal State' means a Coastal 
State with a coastal seaward boundary within 200 miles from 
the geographic center of a leased tract other than a leased 
tract within any area of the Outer Continental Shelf where 
PUBLIC LAW 106-553—APPENDIX B 
114 STAT. 2762A-125 
a moratorium on new leasing was in effect as of January 
1, 2000, unless the lease was issued prior to the establishment 
of the moratorium and was in production on January 1, 2000. 
"(8) The term 'qualified Outer Continental Shelf revenues' 
means all amounts received by the United States from each 
leased tract or portion of a leased tract lying seaward of the 
zone defined and governed by section 8(g) of this Act, or lying 
within such zone but to which section 8(g) does not apply, 
the geographic center of which lies within a distance of 200 
miles from any part of the coastline of any Coastal State, 
including bonus bids, rents, royalties (including payments for 
royalties taken in kind and sold), net profit share payments, 
and related late payment interest. Such term does not include 
any revenues from a leased tract or portion of a leased tract 
that is included within any area of the Outer Continental 
Shelf where a moratorium on new leasing was in effect as 
of January 1, 2000, unless the lease was issued prior to the 
establishment of the moratorium and was in production on 
January 1, 2000. 
"(9) The term 'Secretary' means the Secretary of Commerce. 
"(c) AUTHORIZATION.—For fiscal year 2001, $150,000,000 is 
authorized to be appropriated for the purposes of this section. 
"(d) IMPACT ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS TO STATES AND POLITICAL 
SUBDIVISIONS.—^The Secretary shall make payments from the 
amounts available under this section to Producing Coastal States 
with an approved Coastal Impact Assistance Plan, and to coastal 
political subdivisions as follows: 
"(1) ALLOCATIONS TO PRODUCING COASTAL STATES.—In each 
fiscal year, each Producing Coastal State's allocable share shall 
be equal to the sum of the following: 
"(A) 60 percent of the amounts appropriated shall be 
equally divided among all Producing Coastal States; 
"(B) 40 percent of the amounts appropriated for the 
purposes of this section shall be divided among Producing 
Coastal States based on Outer Continental Shelf produc-
tion, except that of such amounts no Producing Coastal 
State may receive more than 25 percent in any fiscal year. 
"(2) CALCULATION.—The amount for each Producing Coastal 
State under paragraph (1)(B) shall be calculated based on the 
ratio of qualified OCS revenues generated off the coastline 
of the Producing Coastal State to the qualified OCS revenues 
generated off the coastlines of all Producing Coastal States 
for the period beginning on January 1, 1995 and ending on 
December 31, 2000. Where there is more than one Producing 
Coastal State within 200 miles of a leased tract, the amount 
of each Producing Coastal State's payment under paragraph 
(1)(B) for such leased tract shall be inversely proportional to 
the distance between the nearest point on the coastline of 
such State and the geographic center of each leased tract or 
portion of the leased tract (to the nearest whole mile) that 
is within 200 miles of that coastline, as determined by the 
Secretary. A leased tract or portion of a leased tract shall 
be excluded if the tract or portion is located in a geographic 
area where a moratorium on new leasing was in effect on 
January 1, 2000, unless the lease was issued prior to the 
establishment of the moratorium and was in production on 
January 1, 2000.

"(3) 
PAYMENTS TO COASTAL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS.— 
Thirty-five percent of each Producing Coastal State's allocable 
share as determined under paragraph (1) shall be paid directly 
to the coastal political subdivisions by the Secretary based 
on the following formula, except that a coastal political subdivi-
sion in the State of California that has a coastal shoreline, 
that is not within 200 miles of the geographic center of a 
leased tract or portion of a leased tract, and in which there 
is located one or more oil refineries shall be eligible for that 
portion of the allocation described in paragraph (C) in the 
same manner as if that political subdivision were located within 
a distance of 50 miles from the geographic center of the closest 
leased tract with qualified Outer Continental Shelf revenues: 
"(A) Twenty-five percent shall be allocated based on 
the ratio of such coastal political subdivision's coastal popu-
lation to the coastal population of all coastal political sub-
divisions in the Producing Coastal State. 
"(B) Twenty-five percent shall be allocated based on 
the ratio of such coastal political subdivision's coastline 
miles to the coastline miles of all coastal political subdivi-
sions in the Producing Coastal State. 
"(C) Fifty percent shall be allocated based on the rel-
ative distance of such coastal political subdivision from 
any leased tract used to calculate that Producing Coastal 
State's allocation using ratios that are inversely propor-
tional to the distance between the point in the coastal 
political subdivision closest to the geographic center of 
each leased tract or portion, as determined by the Sec-
retary. For purposes of the calculations under this subpara-
graph, a leased tract or portion of a leased tract shall 
be excluded if the leased tract or portion is located in 
a geographic area where a moratorium on new leasing 
was in effect on January 1, 2000, unless the lease was 
issued prior to the establishment of the moratorium and 
was in production on January 1, 2000. 
"(4) FAILURE TO HAVE PLAN APPROVED.—^Any amount allo-
cated to a Producing Coastal State or coastal political subdivi-
sion but not disbursed because of a failure to have an approved 
Coastal Impact Assistance Plan under this section shall be 
allocated equally by the Secretary among all other Producing 
Coastal States in a manner consistent with this subsection 
except that the Secretary shall hold in escrow such amount 
until the final resolution of any appeal regarding the dis-
approval of a plan submitted under this section. The Secretary 
may waive the provisions of this paragraph and hold a Produc-
ing Coastal State's allocable share in escrow if the Secretary 
determines that such State is making a good faith effort to 
develop and submit, or update, a Coastal Impact Assistance 
Plan. 
"(e) COASTAL IMPACT ASSISTANCE PLAN.— 
"(1) DEVELOPMENT AND SUBMISSION OF STATE PLANS.—The 
Governor of each Producing Coastal State shall prepare, and 
submit to the Secretary, a Coastal Impact Assistance Plan. 
The Governor shall solicit local input and shall provide for 
public participation in the development of the plan. The plan 
shall be submitted to the Secretary by July 1, 2001. Amounts 
PUBLIC LAW 106-553—APPENDIX B 
114 STAT. 2762A-127 
received by Producing Coastal States and coastal political sub-
divisions may be used only for the purposes specified in the 
Producing Coastal State's Coastal Impact Assistance Plan. 
"(2) APPROVAL.—The Secretary shall approve a plan under 
paragraph (1) prior to disbursement of amounts under this 
section. The Secretary shall approve the plan if the Secretary 
determines that the plan is consistent with the uses set forth 
in subsection (f) and if the plan contains each of the following: 
"(A) The name of the State agency that will have 
the authority to represent and act for the State in dealing 
with the Secretary for purposes of this section. 
"(B) A program for the implementation of the plan 
which describes how the amounts provided under this sec-
tion will be used.

tunity has been accorded for public participation in the 
development and revision of the plan. 
"(E) Measures for taking into account other relevant 
Federal resources and programs. 
"(3) PROCEDURE.—The Secretary shall approve or dis-
approve each plan or amendment within 90 days of its submis-
sion. 
"(4) AMENDMENT.—Any amendment to the plan shall be 
prepared in accordance with the requirements of this subsection 
and shall be submitted to the Secretary for approval or dis-
approval. 
"(f) AUTHORIZED USES.—Producing Coastal States and coastal 
political subdivisions shall use amounts provided under this section, 
including any such amounts deposited in a State or coastal politicgd 
subdivision administered trust fund dedicated to uses consistent 
with this subsection, in compliance with Federal and State law 
and only for one or more of the following purposes: 
"(1) uses set forth in new section 32(c)(4) of the Outer 
Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.) proposed 
by the amendment to H.R. 701 of the 106th Congress as 
reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural 
Resources; 
"(2) projects and activities for the conservation, protection 
or restoration of wetlands; 
"(3) mitigating damage to fish, wildlife or natural resources, 
including such activities authorized under subtitle B of title 
IV of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 1321(c), (d)); 
"(4) planning assistance and administrative costs of comply-
ing with the provisions of this section; 
"(5) implementation of Federally approved marine, coastal, 
or comprehensive conservation management plans; and 
"(6) mitigating impacts of Outer Continental Shelf activities 
through funding of: (A) onshore infrastructure projects; and 
(B) other public service needs intended to mitigate the environ-
mental effects of Outer Continental Shelf activities: Provided, 
That funds made available under this paragraph shall not 
exceed 23 percent of the funds provided under this section.

"(g) 
COMPLIANCE WITH AUTHORIZED USES.—If the Secretary 
determines that any expenditure made by a Producing Coastal 
State or coastal political subdivision is not consistent with the 
uses authorized in subsection (f), the Secretary shall not disburse 
any further amounts under this section to that Producing Coastal 
State or coastal political subdivision until the amounts used for 
the inconsistent expenditure have been repaid or obligated for 
authorized uses.".

tial adverse impact on competition that outweighs the bene-
fits of improving access to the signals of a local television 
station in a nonserved area or underserved area and is 
commercially viable; 
(D)(i) the loan— 
(I) is provided by any entity engaged in the busi-
ness of commercial lending—

affiliate 
transaction 
restrictions to which the entity is subject under 
applicable law; or

of a nationally recognized statistical rating organiza-
tion; 
(ii) if the loan is provided by a lender described in 
clause (i)(II) and the Board determines that the making 
of the loan by such lender will cause a decline in such 
lender's debt rating as described in that clause, the Board 
at its discretion may disapprove the loan guarantee on 
this basis; 
(iii) no loan may be made for purposes of this Act 
by a governmental entity or affiliate thereof, or by the

Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, or any institu-
tion supervised by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise 
Oversight, the Federal Housing Finance Board, or any

(A) the Board has been given documentation, assur-
ances, and access to information, persons, and entities nec-
essary, as determined by the Board, to address issues rel-
evant to the review of the loan by the Board for purposes 
of this Act; and 
(B) the Board makes a determination in writing that— 
(i) to the best of its knowledge upon due inquiry, 
the assets, facilities, or equipment covered by the loan 
will be utilized economically and efficiently; 
(ii) the terms, conditions, security, and schedule 
and amount of repayments of principal and the pay-
ment of interest with respect to the loan protect the 
financial interests of the United States and are reason-
able; 
(iii) the value of collateral provided by an applicant 
is at least equal to the unpaid balance of the loan 
amount covered by the loan guarantee (the "Amount" 
for purposes of this clause); and if the value of collat-
eral provided by an applicant is less than the Amount, 
the additional required collateral is provided by any 
affiliate of the applicant; 
(iv) all necessary and required regulatory and 
other approvals, spectrum licenses, and 
delivery 
permissions have been received for the loan and the 
project under the loan; 
(v) the loan would not be available on reasonable

expected. 
(e) CONSIDERATIONS.— 
(1) TYPE OF MARKET.— 
(A) 
PRIORITY 
CONSIDERATIONS.—^To the 
maximum 
extent practicable, the Board shall give priority in the 
approval of loan guarantees under this Act in the following 
order: 
(i) First, to projects that will serve households 
in nonserved areas. In considering such projects, the 
Board shall balance projects that will serve the largest 
number of households with projects that will serve 
remote, isolated communities (including noncontiguous 
States) in areas that are unlikely to be served through 
market mechanisms. 
(ii) Second, to projects that will serve households 
in underserved areas. In considering such projects, the 
Board shall balance projects that will serve the largest 
number of households with projects that will serve 
remote, isolated communities (including noncontiguous 
States) in areas that are unlikely to be served through 
market mechanisms. 
Within each category, the Board shall consider the project's 
estimated cost per household and shall give priority to 
those projects that provide the highest quality service at 
the lowest cost per household. 
(B) ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION.—The Board should 
give additional consideration to projects that also provide 
high-speed Internet service. 
(C) PROHIBITIONS.—The Board may not approve a loan 
guarantee under this Act for a project that— 
(i) is designed primarily to serve 1 or more of 
the top 40 designated market areas (as that term is 
defined in section 122(j) of title 17, United States 
Code); or 
(ii) would alter or remove National Weather Serv-
ice warnings from local broadcast signals. 
(2) OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.—The Board shall consider 
other factors, which shall include projects that would— 
(A) offer a separate tier of local broadcast signals, 
but for applicable Federal, State, or local laws or regula-
tions; 
(B) provide lower projected costs to consumers of such 
separate tier; and 
(C) enable the delivery of local broadcast signals 
consistent with the purpose of this Act by a means reason-
ably compatible with existing systems or devices predomi-
nantly in use. 
(3) FURTHER CONSIDERATION.—In implementing this Act, 
the Board shall support the use of loan guarantees for projects 
that would serve households not likely to be served in the 
absence of loan guarantees under this Act. 
(f) GUARANTEE LIMITS.— 
(1) 
LIMITATION ON AGGREGATE VALUE OF LOANS.—The 
aggregate value of all loans for which loan guarantees are 
issued under this Act (including the unguaranteed portion of 
such loans) may not exceed $1,250,000,000. 
PUBLIC LAW 106-553—APPENDIX B 
114 STAT. 2762A-133 
(2) GUARANTEE LEVEL.—^A loan guarantee issued under 
this Act may not exceed an amount equal to 80 percent of 
a loan meeting in its entirety the requirements of subsection 
(d)(2)(A). If only a portion of a loan meets the requirements 
of that subsection, the Board shall determine that percentage 
of the loan meeting such requirements (the "applicable portion") 
and may issue a loan guarantee in an amount not exceeding 
80 percent of the applicable portion. 
(g) UNDERWRITING CRITERIA.—^Within the period provided for 
under subsection (b)(1), the Board shall, in consultation with the 
Director of the Office of Management and Budget and an independ-
ent public accounting firm, develop underwriting criteria relating 
to the guarantee of loans that are consistent with the purpose 
of this Act, including appropriate collateral and cash flow levels 
for loans guaranteed under this Act, and such other matters as 
the Board considers appropriate, 
(h) CREDIT RISK PREMIUMS.— 
(1) ESTABLISHMENT AND ACCEPTANCE.— 
(A) IN GENERAL.—^The Board may establish and 
approve the acceptance of credit risk premiums with respect 
to a loan guarantee under this Act in order to cover the 
cost, as defined in section 502(5) of the Federal Credit 
Reform Act of 1990, of the loan guarantee. To the extent 
that appropriations of budget authority are insufficient 
to cover the cost, as so determined, of a loan guarantee 
under this Act, credit risk premiums shall be accepted 
from a non-Federal source under this subsection on behalf 
of the applicant for the loan guarantee. 
(B) AUTHORITY LIMITED BY APPROPRIATIONS ACTS.— 
Credit risk premiums under this subsection shall be 
imposed only to the extent provided for in advance in 
appropriations Acts. 
(2) CREDIT RISK PREMIUM AMOUNT.— 
(A) IN GENERAL.—The Board shall determine the 
amount of any credit risk premium to be accepted with 
respect to a loan guarantee under this Act on the basis 
of— 
(i) the financial and economic circumstances of 
the applicant for the loan guarantee, including the 
amount of collateral offered; 
(ii) the proposed schedule of loan disbursements; 
(iii) the business plans of the applicant for provid-
ing service; 
(iv) any financial commitment from a broadcast 
signal provider; and 
(v) the concurrence of the Director of the Office 
of Management and Budget as to the amount of the 
credit risk pr^-mium. 
(B) PROPORTION.\LITY.—To the extent that appropria-
tions of budget authority are sufficient to cover the cost, 
as determined under section 502(5) of the Federal Credit 
Reform Act of 1990, of loan guarantees under this Act, 
the credit risk premium with respect to each loan guarantee 
shall be reduced proportionately. 
(C) PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS.—Credit risk premiums 
under this subsection shall be paid to an account (the 
"Escrow Account") established in the Treasury which shall 
114 STAT. 2762A-134 
PUBLIC LAW 106-553—APPENDIX B 
accrue interest and such interest shall be retained by the 
account, subject to subparagraph (D). 
(D) DEDUCTIONS FROM ESCROW ACCOUNT.—If a default 
occurs with respect to any loan guaranteed under this 
Act and the default is not cured in accordance with the 
terms of the underlying loan or loan guarantee agreement, 
the Administrator, in accordance with subsections (i) and 
(j) of section 5, shall liquidate, or shall cause to be liq-
uidated, all assets collateralizing such loan as to which 
it has a lien or security interest. Any shortfall between 
the proceeds of the liquidation net of costs and expenses 
relating to the liquidation, and the guarantee amount paid 
pursuant to this Act shall be deducted from funds in the 
Escrow Account and credited to the Administrator for pay-
ment of such shortfall. At such time as determined under 
subsection (d)(2)(E) of this section when all loans guaran-
teed under this Act have been repaid or otherwise satisfied 
in accordance with this Act and the regulations promul-
gated hereunder, remaining funds in the Escrow Account, 
if any, shall ^ 
refunded, on a pro rata basis, to applicants 
whose loans ^aranteed under this Act were not in default, 
or where any default was cured in accordance with the
