Q: SECTION 1. PARTICIPATION OF TAIWAN IN THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized
agency of the United Nations, charged with coordinating health
efforts within the United Nations system. The World Health
Assembly (WHA) is the decision-making body of the WHO, which
convenes annually in May to set the policies and priorities of
the organization. Statehood is not a requirement for attendance
at the WHA, and numerous observers, including non-members and
non-governmental organizations, attended the most recent WHA in
May 2017.
(2) Taiwan began seeking to participate in the WHO as an
observer in 1997. In 2009, with strong support from successive
United States Administrations, Congress, and like-minded WHO
Member States, and during a period of improved Cross-Strait
relations, Taiwan received an invitation to attend the WHA as
an observer under the name ''Chinese Taipei''. Taiwan received
the same invitation each year until 2016, when following the
election of President Tsai-Ing Wen of the Democratic
Progressive Party, Taiwan's engagement in the international
community began facing increased resistance from the People's
Republic of China (PRC). Taiwan's invitation to the 2016 WHA
was received late and included new language conditioning
Taiwan's participation on the PRC's ''one China principle''. In
2017, Taiwan did not receive an invitation to the WHA.
(3) Taiwan remains a model contributor to world health,
having provided financial and technical assistance to respond
to numerous global health challenges. Taiwan has invested over
$6 billion in international medical and humanitarian aid
efforts impacting over 80 countries since 1996. In 2014, Taiwan
responded to the Ebola crisis by donating $1 million and
providing 100,000 sets of personal protective equipment.
Through the Global Cooperation and Training Framework, the
United States and Taiwan have jointly conducted training
programs for experts to combat MERS, Dengue Fever, and Zika.
These diseases know no borders, and Taiwan's needless exclusion
from global health cooperation increases the dangers presented
by global pandemics.
(4) Taiwan's international engagement has faced increased
resistance from the PRC. Taiwan was not invited to the 2016
Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), despite participating as a guest at the organization's
prior summit in 2013. Taiwan's request to participate in the
2016 General Assembly of the International Criminal Police
Organization (INTERPOL) was also rejected. In May 2017, PRC
delegates disrupted a meeting of the Kimberley Process on
conflict diamonds held in Perth, Australia, until delegates
from Taiwan were asked to leave. In June 2017, the Republic of
Panama granted diplomatic recognition to the PRC, terminating a
longstanding diplomatic relationship with Taiwan.
(5) Congress has established a policy of support for
Taiwan's participation in international bodies that address
shared transnational challenges, particularly in the WHO.
Congress passed H.R. 1794 in the 106th Congress, H.R. 428 in
the 107th Congress, and S. 2092 in the 108th Congress to direct
the Secretary of State to establish a strategy for, and to
report annually to Congress on, efforts to obtain observer
status for Taiwan at the WHA. Congress also passed H.R. 1151 in
the 113th Congress, directing the Secretary to report on a
strategy to gain observer status for Taiwan at the ICAO
Assembly, and H.R. 1853 in the 114th Congress, directing the
Secretary to report on a strategy to gain observer status for
Taiwan at the INTERPOL Assembly. However, in 2016 Taiwan did
not receive invitations to attend any of these events as an
observer.
(b) Augmentation of Report Concerning the Participation of Taiwan
in the World Health Organization.--
(1) In general.--Subsection (c) of section 1 of Public Law
108-235 (118 Stat. 656) is amended by adding at the end the
following new paragraph:
''(3) An account of the changes and improvements the
Secretary of State has made to the United States plan to
endorse and obtain observer status for Taiwan at the World
Health Assembly, following any annual meetings of the World
Health Assembly at which Taiwan did not obtain observer
status.''.
(2) Effective date.--The amendment made by paragraph (1)
shall take effect and apply beginning with the first report
required under subsection

(c) of section 1 of Public Law 108-235 that is submitted after
the date of the enactment of this Act.

Passed the House of Representatives January 9, 2018.

Attest:

KAREN L. HAAS,

Clerk.

A: (Sec. 1) This bill requires the annual reports submitted by the Department of State to Congress concerning the U.S. plan to endorse and obtain observer status for Taiwan at the annual summit of the World Health Assembly (WHA) held by the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, to include an account of the changes and improvements that the State Department has made to such plan following any annual meetings of the WHA at which Taiwan did not obtain such status.

''(20) Consideration of impact from cross-subsidization of
customer-side technology.--
''(A) Definition of customer-side technology.--In
this paragraph, the term 'customer-side technology'
means a device connected to the electricity
distribution system--
''(i) at, or on the customer side of, the
meter; or
''(ii) that, if owned or operated by, or on
behalf of, an electric utility, would otherwise
be at, or on the customer side of, the meter.
''(B) Consideration.--Each State regulatory
authority (with respect to each electric utility for
which it has ratemaking authority) and each
nonregulated electric utility shall consider, to the
extent a State regulatory authority or nonregulated
electric utility allows rates charged by any electric
utility to include any cost, fee, or charge that
directly or indirectly subsidizes the deployment,
construction, maintenance, or operation of customer-
side technology, whether subsidizing the deployment,
construction, maintenance, or operation of a customer-
side technology would--
''(i) result in benefits predominately
enjoyed by only the users of the customer-side
technology;
''(ii) shift costs of a customer-side
technology to electricity consumers that do not
use the customer-side technology, particularly
in cases in which disparate economic or
resource conditions exist among the electricity
consumers cross-subsidizing the customer-side
technology;
''(iii) negatively affect resource
utilization, fuel diversity, grid reliability,
or grid security;
''(iv) provide any unfair competitive
advantage to market the customer-side
technology, including an analysis of whether
the State regulatory authority or other State
authority has uncovered any fraudulent
customer-side technology marketing practices
within the State; and
''(v) be necessary to fulfill an obligation
to serve electric consumers.
''(C) Public notice.--At least 90 days before the
date on which a State regulatory authority or
nonregulated electric utility holds a proceeding that
would consider the cross-subsidization of a customer-
side technology, the State regulatory authority or
nonregulated electric utility shall make available to
the public the results of the evaluation conducted
under subparagraph (B).''.
(b) Compliance.--
(1) Time limitations.--Section 112(b) of the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2622(b)) is amended
by adding at the end the following:
''(7)(A) Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment
of this paragraph, each State regulatory authority (with
respect to each electric utility for which it has ratemaking
authority), and each nonregulated electric utility shall, with
respect to the standard established by paragraph (20) of
section 111(d)--
''(i) commence the consideration referred to in
section 111; or
''(ii) set a hearing date for the consideration.
''(B) Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of
this paragraph, each State regulatory authority (with respect
to each electric utility for which it has ratemaking
authority), and each nonregulated electric utility, shall--
''(i) complete the consideration required under
subparagraph (A); and
''(ii) make the determination referred to in
section 111 with respect to the standard established by
paragraph (20) of section 111(d).''.
(2) Failure to comply.--Section 112(c) of the Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2622(c)) is
amended by adding at the end the following: ''In the case of
the standard established by paragraph (20) of section 111(d),
the reference contained in this subsection to the date of
enactment of this Act shall be deemed to be a reference to the
date of enactment of that paragraph.''.

A: Ratepayer Fairness Act of 2015 This bill amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) to require a state regulatory authority and a nonregulated electric utility (entities), to the extent that they allow electric utility rates to include charges that subsidize customer-side technology, to consider whether that subsidy would: result in benefits predominately enjoyed by only the users of the customer-side technology; shift costs of a customer-side technology to electricity consumers that do not use it, particularly in cases in which disparate economic or resource conditions exist among the electricity consumers cross-subsidizing the customer-side technology; negatively affect resource utilization, fuel diversity, grid reliability, or grid security; give any unfair competitive advantage to market the customer-side technology, including an analysis of whether a state regulatory authority has uncovered fraudulent customer-side technology marketing practices; and be necessary to fulfill an obligation to serve electric consumers. The bill sets deadlines within which the entities must set a hearing date to consider and subsequently determine the subsidization of customer-side technology.
