II
117th CONGRESS1st Session
S. 861
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

March 18, 2021
Ms. Smith (for herself, Mr. Young, Mr. Grassley, and Mrs. Feinstein) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions

A BILL
To establish an interagency One Health Program, and for other purposes.

1.Short titleThis Act may be cited as the Advancing Emergency Preparedness Through One Health Act of 2021. 2.FindingsCongress finds the following:
(1)The term One Health reflects the interconnectedness of human health, animal health, and the environment. As technology and population growth facilitates increased interaction of human settlements with wildlife habitats and as international travel and trade increases, the interface between these elements will also continue to rise. (2)When zoonotic diseases spill over to humans, there are often enormous health and economic costs. The World Bank estimates that, between 1997 and 2009, the global costs from six zoonotic outbreaks exceeded $80,000,000,000 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are annually 2,500,000,000 cases of zoonotic infections globally, resulting in 2,700,000 deaths.
(3)There are also immense effects on the agriculture sector. In 2014 and 2015, a high pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak in the United States led to the cull of nearly 50,000,000 birds, and imposed up to approximately $3,300,000,000 in losses for poultry and egg farmers, animal feed producers, baked good production, and other related industries. (4)Public health preparedness depends on agriculture in a variety of ways. For example, a wide range of vaccines, including those for influenza, yellow fever, rabies, and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), are primarily cultivated in poultry eggs. Egg shortages resulting from zoonotic disease outbreaks could impose serious risks to vaccine manufacturing efforts.
(5)It is estimated that approximately 80 percent of potential pathogens likely to be used in bioterrorism or biowarfare are common zoonotic pathogens. (6)While existing Federal Government initiatives related to One Health span multiple agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention One Health office and the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services' One Health Coordination Center, additional interagency coordination is necessary to help better prevent, prepare for, and respond to zoonotic disease outbreaks.
3.Interagency One Health Program
(a)In generalThe Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the Secretary of Agriculture (referred to in this Act as the Secretaries), in coordination with the United States Agency for International Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce, and other departments and agencies as appropriate, shall develop, publish, and submit to Congress a national One Health Framework (referred to in this Act as the framework) for coordinated Federal Activities under the One Health Program. (b)National One Health Framework (1)In generalNot later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretaries, in cooperation with the United States Agency for International Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce, and other departments and agencies as appropriate, shall develop, publish, and submit to Congress a One Health Framework (referred to in this section as the framework) for coordinated Federal activities under the One Health Program.
(2)Contents of frameworkThe framework described in paragraph (1) shall describe existing efforts and contain recommendations for building upon and complementing the activities of the Department of the Interior, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, the Department of Agriculture, the United States Agency for International Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Homeland Security, and other departments and agencies, as appropriate, and shall— (A)assess, identify, and describe, as appropriate, existing activities of Federal agencies and departments under the One Health Program and consider whether all relevant agencies are adequately represented;
(B)for the 10-year period beginning in the year the framework is submitted, establish specific Federal goals and priorities that most effectively advance— (i)scientific understanding of the connections between human, animal, and environmental health;
(ii)coordination and collaboration between agencies involved in the framework including sharing data and information, engaging in joint fieldwork, and engaging in joint laboratory studies related to One Health; (iii)identification of priority zoonotic diseases and priority areas of study;
(iv)surveillance of priority zoonotic diseases and their transmission between animals and humans; (v)prevention of priority zoonotic diseases and their transmission between animals and humans;
(vi)protocol development to improve joint outbreak response to and recovery from zoonotic disease outbreaks in animals and humans; and (vii)workforce development to prevent and respond to zoonotic disease outbreaks in animals and humans;
(C)describe specific activities required to achieve the goals and priorities described in subparagraph (B), and propose a timeline for achieving these goals; (D)identify and expand partnerships, as appropriate, among Federal agencies, States, Indian tribes, academic institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and private entities in order to develop new approaches for reducing hazards to human and animal health and to strengthen understanding of the value of an integrated approach under the One Health Program to addressing public health threats in a manner that prevents duplication;
(E)identify best practices related to State and local-level research coordination, field activities, and disease outbreak preparedness, response, and recovery related to One Health; and (F)provide recommendations to Congress regarding additional action or legislation that may be required to assist in establishing the One Health Program.
(3)AddendumNot later than 3 years after the creation of the framework, the Secretaries, in coordination with the agencies described in paragraph (1), shall submit to Congress an addendum to the framework that describes the progress made in advancing the activities described in the framework. (c)Authorization of appropriationsTo carry out this section, there is authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary.
4.GAO reportNot later than 2 years after the date of the submission of the addendum under section 3(b)(3), the Comptroller General of the United States shall submit to Congress a report that— (1)details existing collaborative efforts between the Department of the Interior, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Agriculture, the United States Agency for International Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Homeland Security, and other departments and agencies to prevent and respond to zoonotic disease outbreaks in animals and humans; and
(2)contains an evaluation of the framework and the specific activities requested to achieve the framework.

(7)
(A)In the case of an individual whose primary insurance amount would be computed under paragraph (1) of this subsection, who—
(i) attains age 62 after 1985 (except where he or she became entitled to a disability insurance benefit before 1986 and remained so entitled in any of the 12 months immediately preceding his or her attainment of age 62), or
(ii) would attain age 62 after 1985 and becomes eligible for a disability insurance benefit after 1985, and who first becomes eligible after 1985 for a monthly periodic payment (including a payment determined under subparagraph (E), but excluding (I) a payment under the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 or 1937, (II) a payment by a social security system of a foreign country based on an agreement concluded between the United States and such foreign country pursuant to section 233, and (III) a payment based wholly on service as a member of a uniformed service (as defined in section 210(m)) which is based in whole or in part upon his or her earnings for service which did not constitute employment as defined in section 210 for purposes of this title (hereafter in this paragraph and in subsection (d)(3) referred to as noncovered service), the primary insurance amount of that individual during his or her concurrent entitlement to such monthly periodic payment and to old-age or disability insurance benefits shall be computed or recomputed under subparagraph (B) or subparagraph (D) (as applicable).
(B)In the case of an individual who first performs service described in subparagraph (A) after the 12th calendar month following the date of the enactment of the Public Servant Retirement Protection Act, if paragraph (1) of this subsection would apply to such individual (except for subparagraph (A) of this paragraph), the individual’s primary insurance amount shall be the product derived by multiplying—
(i)the individual’s primary insurance amount, as determined under paragraph (1) of this subsection and subparagraph (C)(i) of this paragraph, by
(ii)a fraction—
(I)the numerator of which is the individual’s average indexed monthly earnings (determined without regard to subparagraph (C)(i)), and
(II)the denominator of which is an amount equal to the individual’s average indexed monthly earnings (as determined under subparagraph (C)(i)),rounded, if not a multiple of $0.10, to the next lower multiple of $0.10.
(C)
(i)For purposes of determining an individual’s primary insurance amount pursuant to subparagraph (B)(i), the individual’s average indexed monthly earnings shall be determined by treating all service performed after 1950 on which the individual’s monthly periodic payment referred to in subparagraph (A) is based (other than noncovered service as a member of a uniformed service (as defined in section 210(m))) as employment as defined in section 210 for purposes of this title (together with all other service performed by such individual consisting of employment as so defined).
(ii)For purposes of determining average indexed monthly earnings as described in clause (i), the Commissioner of Social Security shall provide by regulation for a method for determining the amount of wages derived from service performed after 1950 on which the individual’s periodic benefit is based and which is to be treated as employment solely for purposes of clause (i). Such method shall provide for reliance on employment records which are provided to the Commissioner and which constitute a reasonable basis for treatment of service as employment for such purposes, together with such other information received by the Commissioner as the Commissioner may consider appropriate as a reasonable basis for treatment of service as employment for such purposes.
(D)
(i)In the case of an individual who has performed service described in subparagraph (A) during or before the 12th calendar month following the date of the enactment of the Public Servant Retirement Protection Act, if paragraph (1) of this subsection would apply to such individual (except for subparagraph (A) of this paragraph), there shall first be computed an amount equal to the individual's primary insurance amount under paragraph (1) of this subsection, except that for purposes of such computation the percentage of the individual's average indexed monthly earnings established by subparagraph (A)(i) of paragraph (1) shall be the percent specified in clause (ii). There shall then be computed (without regard to this paragraph) a second amount, which shall be equal to the individual's primary insurance amount under paragraph (1) of this subsection, except that such second amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to one-half of the portion of the monthly periodic payment which is attributable to noncovered service performed after 1956 (with such attribution being based on the proportionate number of years of such noncovered service) and to which the individual is entitled (or is deemed to be entitled) for the initial month of his or her concurrent entitlement to such monthly periodic payment and old-age or disability insurance benefits. There shall then be computed (without regard to this paragraph) a third amount, which shall be equal to the individual’s primary insurance amount determined under subparagraph (B) as if subparagraph (B) applied in the case of such individual. The individual's primary insurance amount shall be the largest of the three amounts computed under this subparagraph (before the application of subsection (i)).
(ii)For purposes of clause (i), the percent specified in this clause is—
(I)80.0 percent with respect to individuals who become eligible (as defined in paragraph (3)(B)) for old-age insurance benefits (or became eligible as so defined for disability insurance benefits before attaining age 62) in 1986;
(II)70.0 percent with respect to individuals who so become eligible in 1987;
(III)60.0 percent with respect to individuals who so become eligible in 1988;
(IV)50.0 percent with respect to individuals who so become eligible in 1989; and
(V)40.0 percent with respect to individuals who so become eligible in 1990 or thereafter.
(E)
(i)Any periodic payment which otherwise meets the requirements of subparagraph (A), but which is paid on other than a monthly basis, shall be allocated on a basis equivalent to a monthly payment (as determined by the Commissioner of Social Security), and such equivalent monthly payment shall constitute a monthly periodic payment for purposes of this paragraph.
(ii)In the case of an individual who has elected to receive a periodic payment that has been reduced so as to provide a survivor's benefit to any other individual, the payment shall be deemed to be increased (for purposes of any computation under this paragraph or subsection (d)(3) by the amount of such reduction.
(iii)For purposes of this paragraph, the term periodic payment includes a payment payable in a lump sum if it is a commutation of, or a substitute for, periodic payments.
(F)
(i)Subparagraph (D) shall not apply in the case of an individual who has 30 years or more of coverage. In the case of an individual who has more than 20 years of coverage but less than 30 years of coverage (as so defined), the percent specified in the applicable subdivision of subparagraph (D)(ii) shall (if such percent is smaller than the applicable percent specified in the following table) be deemed to be the applicable percent specified in the following table:
