Example Output: Promoting Closed-Loop Pumped Storage Hydropower Act (Sec.2)This bill amends the Federal Power Act to authorize the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to establish an expedited licensing process for issuing and amending licenses and preliminary permits for closed-loop pumped storage projects (in which the upper and lower reservoirs do not impound or directly withdraw water from navigable waters, or that are not continuously connected to a naturally flowing water feature). In establishing the expedited process, FERC shall convene an interagency task force with appropriate federal and state agencies and Indian tribes to coordinate the regulatory process associated with the authorizations required to construct and operate closed-loop pumped storage projects. FERC must assess the safety of existing dams and other structures related to the project before issuing any license for a closed-loop storage project. FERC must hold a workshop to explore potential opportunities for development of storage projects at abandoned mine sites. FERC must also establish criteria that a project shall meet to qualify as a closed-loop pumped storage under this bill, including requiring that the project cause little to no change to existing surface and groundwater flows and uses and that the project is unlikely to adversely affect species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. (Sec.3)Licensees are not required to pay an annual charge for administrative expenses until construction commences.

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Rural Education Development
Initiative for the 21st Century Act''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE.

The purpose of this Act is to provide rural school students in the
United States with increased learning opportunities.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) While there are rural education initiatives identified
at the State and local level, no Federal education policy
focuses on the specific needs of rural school districts and
schools, especially those that serve poor students.
(2) The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES)
reports that while 46 percent of our Nation's public schools
serve rural areas, they only receive 22 percent of the Nation's
education funds annually.
(3) A critical problem for rural school districts involves
the hiring and retention of qualified administrators and
certified teachers (especially in Special Education, Science,
and Mathematics). Consequently, teachers in rural schools are
almost twice as likely to provide instruction in two or more
subjects than teachers in urban schools. Rural schools also
face other tough challenges, such as shrinking local tax bases,
high transportation costs, aging buildings, limited course
offerings, and limited resources.
(4) Data from the National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP) consistently shows large gaps between the
achievement of students in high-poverty schools and those in
other schools. High-poverty schools will face special
challenges in preparing their students to reach high standards
of performance on State and national assessments.

SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.

(1) Elementary school; local educational agency; secondary
school; state educational agency.--The terms ''elementary

applicable to a family of the size involved.
