SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Preventing Our Federal Building 
Workers and Visitors From Exposure to Deadly Smoke (PRO-FEDS) Act of 
1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) environmental tobacco smoke comes from secondhand smoke 
        exhaled by smokers and sidestream smoke emitted from the 
        burning of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes;
            (2) since citizens of the United States spend up to 90 
        percent of a day indoors, there is a significant potential for 
        exposure to environmental tobacco smoke from indoor air;
            (3) exposure to environmental tobacco smoke occurs in 
        schools, public buildings, and other indoor facilities;
            (4) recent scientific studies have concluded that exposure 
        to environmental tobacco smoke is a cause of lung cancer in 
        healthy nonsmokers and is responsible for acute and chronic 
        respiratory problems and other health impacts in sensitive 
        populations (including children);
            (5) the health risks posed by environmental tobacco smoke 
        exceed the risks posed by many environmental pollutants 
        regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency; and
            (6) according to information released by the Environmental 
        Protection Agency, environmental tobacco smoke results in a 
        loss to the economy of over $3,000,000,000 per year.

    (b) Adoption of Guidelines.--
            (1) In general.--As soon as is practicable after the date 
        of issuance of the guidelines referred to in subsection (a), 
        the head of each Executive agency, and the Director of the

        a waiver from instituting or enforcing a nonsmoking policy (or 
        policy requirement) under the guidelines issued pursuant to 
        subsection (a). The Administrator of General Services may waive 
        the requirement if, after consultation with the Administrator, 
        the Administrator of General Services determines that--
                    (A) unusual extenuating circumstances prevent the 
                head of the Federal agency from enforcing the policy 
                (or a requirement under the policy) (including a case 
                in which the Federal agency shares space in an indoor 
                facility with a non-Federal entity and cannot obtain an 
                agreement with the other entity to abide by the 
                nonsmoking policy requirement) and the head of the 
                Executive agency will establish and make a good-faith 
                effort to enforce an alternative nonsmoking policy (or 
                alternative requirement under the policy) that will 
                protect individuals from exposure to environmental 
                tobacco smoke to the maximum extent possible; or
                    (B) the head of the Executive agency will enforce 
                an alternative nonsmoking policy (or alternative 
                requirement under the policy) that will protect 
                individuals from exposure to environmental tobacco 
                smoke to the same degree as the requirement under the 
                guidelines issued pursuant to subsection (a).
            (2) Agencies of the judicial branch.--After consultation 
        with the Administrator, and after providing public notice and 
        reasonable opportunity for public review and comment, the 
        Director of the Administrative Office of the United States 
        Courts may, on the basis of the criteria for a waiver referred 
        to in paragraph (1), make such modifications to the nonsmoking 
        policy required to be carried out pursuant to subsection (b) as 
        the Director determines to be necessary. The Director may not 
        make any modification that violates the criteria for a waiver 
        under paragraph (1).
            (3) Agencies of the legislative branch.--After consultation 
        with the Administrator, and after providing public notice and 
        reasonable opportunity for public review and comment, the 
        appropriate entity or individual referred to in subparagraphs 
        (A) through (C) of subsection (b)(2) may, on the basis of the 
        criteria for a waiver referred to in paragraph (1), make such 
        modifications to the nonsmoking policy required to be carried 
        out pursuant to subsection (b) as the entity or individual 
        determines to be necessary. The entity or individual may not 
        make any modification that violates the criteria for a waiver 
        under paragraph (1).
    (d) Collective Bargaining Agreements.--
            (1) In general.--In a Federal agency in which a labor 
        organization has been accorded recognition as a bargaining unit 
        pursuant to chapter 71 of title 5, United States Code, the 
        Federal agency shall engage in collective bargaining pursuant 
        to section 7114 of title 5, United States Code, to ensure the 
        implementation of the requirements of this section that affect 
        work areas predominately occupied by the employees represented 
        by the labor organization by the date of the adoption, pursuant 
        to this section, of a nonsmoking policy applicable to the 
        Federal agency.
            (2) Exemption.--

                        paragraph (1) has in effect a collective 
                        bargaining agreement with respect to which a 
                        Federal agency is a party; and
                            (ii) the collective bargaining agreement 
                        referred to in clause (i) includes provisions 
                        relating to smoking privileges that are in 
                        violation of the requirements of this section,
                the head of the Federal agency may exempt work areas 
                predominately occupied by the employees subject to the 
                collective bargaining agreement from the nonsmoking 
                policy that the Federal agency is required to be 
                carried out under subsection (b).
                    (B) Termination of exemption.--
                            (i) In general.--An exemption referred to 
                        in subparagraph (A) shall terminate on the 
                        earlier of--
                                    (I) the first expiration date 
                                (after the date of enactment of this 
                                Act) of the collective bargaining 
                                agreement containing the provisions 
                                relating to smoking privileges; or
                                    (II) the date that is 1 year after 
                                the date of issuance of the guidelines.
                            (ii) Implementation of nonsmoking policy 
                        after termination date.-- By the applicable

                        agreement that contains provisions that are

Output: Preventing Our Federal Building Workers and Visitors From Exposure to Deadly Smoke (PRO-FEDS) Act of 1993 - Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue guidelines for enforcing a nonsmoking policy at Federal agencies.  Requires such policy, at a minimum, to prohibit smoking in each portion of a Federal building that is not ventilated separately. 
Directs the heads of Federal agencies, the Director of the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts, and specified entities of the legislative branch to adopt such a nonsmoking policy. 
Authorizes agencies to petition for a waiver from the general requirements if extenuating circumstances prevent enforcement and such agencies make a good-faith effort to enforce an alternative policy that will protect individuals from exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. 
Requires Federal agencies in which a labor organization has been accorded bargaining unit recognition to engage in collective bargaining to ensure implementation of requirements that affect work areas predominantly occupied by the organization's members.  Exempts such work areas from the nonsmoking policy if the bargaining unit and the Federal agency have a collective bargaining agreement that includes provisions relating to smoking privileges that are in violation of this Act's requirements.  Terminates such exemption on the earlier of the first expiration date of the agreement or one year after the date of issuance of the guidelines. 
Directs the Administrator and the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide technical assistance to Federal agencies and other persons who request it. 
Requires the Administrator to:  (1) establish an outreach program informing the public of the dangers of environmental tobacco smoke; (2) establish an Environmental Tobacco Smoke Advisory Office within the EPA Office of Radiation and Indoor Air; and (3) report to the Congress on compliance with this Act and an assessment of the legal status of smoking in public places.
