''(B) Purpose.--The purpose of this paragraph is to
promote the adoption of broadband Internet access
service by all people of the United States while
recognizing that the price of broadband Internet access
service is one of the barriers to adoption for low-
income households.
''(C) Establishment.--
''(i) In general.--Not later than 270 days
after the date of enactment of the Broadband
Adoption Act of 2015, the Commission shall
adopt a final rule establishing Lifeline
support under the Lifeline program for

usage patterns of residential
consumers.
''(ii) Information.--In carrying out clause
(i), the Commission shall rely on information
that--
''(I) the Commission routinely
collects; or
''(II) is publicly available.
''(F) Technology neutral.--
''(i) In general.--To promote competition
from service providers to qualify under the
Lifeline program, the Commission shall ensure
that the final rule adopted under subparagraph
(C)(i) is neutral as to the types of technology
used to provide voice telephony or broadband
Internet access service under the Lifeline
program.
''(ii) Authorization.--A participating
broadband Internet access service provider--
''(I) shall not be required to be
an eligible telecommunications carrier
(as designated under section 214(e)) to
receive support under the Lifeline
program; and
''(II) shall obtain authorization
from the Commission in order to
participate in the Lifeline program.
''(G) Accountability.--
''(i) Nonduplication.--The final rule
adopted under subparagraph (C)(i) shall
incorporate regulations of the Commission in
effect on the date of enactment of this Act
that prevent the receipt of duplicative support
under the Lifeline program.
''(ii) Preventing waste, fraud, or abuse.--

agencies, shall establish a national database
to determine qualifying low-income consumer
eligibility for Lifeline program subsidies.
''(H) Evaluation reports.--Not later than 1 year
after the Commission adopts the final rule under
subparagraph (C)(i), and every year thereafter, the
Commission shall conduct an evaluation and issue a
report on the performance of the Lifeline program
during the 12-month period preceding the date on which
each report is issued.
''(I) GAO study.--Not later than 1 year after the
Commission adopts the final rule under subparagraph
(C)(i), the Comptroller General of the United States
shall conduct a study and issue a report on the
performance of the Lifeline support provided under the
Lifeline program for broadband Internet access service.
''(3) Clarification of authority.--Nothing in this section
shall be construed to limit the authority of the Commission
under any other provision of law, including the authority to
promulgate regulations to promote the adoption of broadband
service by low-income households in the United States.''.

Ex Output:
Broadband Adoption Act of 2015 Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt a final rule establishing support under the Universal Service Fund Lifeline Assistance Program for qualifying low-income consumers in urban and rural areas to purchase broadband Internet access service at reduced charges by reimbursing participating providers for each such consumer served. Requires the program to allow qualifying consumers to elect to apply support from the Lifeline program to basic telephone service, voice telephony service, or broadband Internet access service, regardless of whether the service is purchased as a stand-alone service or in a bundle. Directs the FCC to consult with the federal-state joint board on universal service regarding ways to encourage states to develop programs in conjunction with the Lifeline program. Requires the program to be technology neutral to promote competition from service providers. Requires participating broadband Internet access service providers to obtain FCC authorization to participate in the Lifeline program, but a provider is not required to be an eligible telecommunications carrier to receive support under the program. Directs the FCC to: (1) adopt regulations to prevent receipt of duplicative support under the Lifeline program, and (2) establish a national database to determine consumer eligibility.

Passed the Senate September 6, 2018.

Attest:

JULIE E. ADAMS,

Secretary.

Ex Output:
Sage-Grouse and Mule Deer Habitat Conservation and Restoration Act of 2017 This bill directs the Department of Interior to categorically exclude vegetative management activities that establish or improve habitat for greater sage-grouse and mule deer from environmental review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Examples of vegetative management activities include restoring native vegetation following a natural disturbance or preventing the expansion of nonnative or invasive vegetation into such habitat. A categorical exclusion under NEPA is a category of actions which do not have a significant effect on the human environment and for which neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is required. The bill prohibits the categorical exclusion from including: (1) activity conducted in a wilderness area or wilderness study area, or (2) activity for the construction of a permanent road or trail. Before commencing a vegetative management activity that is covered by a categorical exclusion, Interior must develop a long-term monitoring and maintenance plan, covering at least 20 years, to ensure that management of the treated area does not degrade the habitat gains secured by the vegetative management activity. Vegetative material resulting from vegetative management activity may be: (1) used for fuel wood or other products; or (2) piled or burned, or both. Native vegetative cover must be reestablished on a temporary road constructed in connection with a categorically excluded vegetative management activity in order to minimize soil erosion from areas disturbed by the temporary road.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Repairing Young Women's Lives Around
the World Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Every minute, 1 woman dies from pregnancy-related
complications. 95 percent of these women live in Africa and
Asia.
(2) For every woman who dies from pregnancy-related
complications, 15 to 30 women survive but experience chronic
disabilities. The worst is obstetric fistula which is caused
when a woman who needs trained medical assistance for a safe
delivery, including Caesarian section, cannot get it.
(3) Obstetric fistula is a hole that is formed between the
bladder and the vagina, or the rectum and the vagina, after a
woman suffers from prolonged obstructed labor. In the struggle
to pass through the birth canal, the fetus puts constant
pressure, sometimes for several days, on the bladder and
vaginal or rectal wall, destroying the tissue and leaving a
wound.
(4) According to the Department of State: ''Pregnancy at an
early age often leads to obstetric fistulae and permanent
incontinence. [In Ethiopia], treatment is available at only 1
hospital in Addis Ababa that performs over 1,000 fistula
operations a year. It estimates that for every successful
operation performed, 10 other young women need the treatment.
The maternal mortality rate is extremely high due, in part, to
food taboos for pregnant women, poverty, early marriage, and
birth complications related to FGM [Female Genital Mutilation],
especially infibulation.''.
(5) Obstetric fistula affects women who survive obstructed
labor.
(6) In nearly every case of obstetric fistula, the baby
will be stillborn and the mother will have physical pain as
well as social and emotional trauma from the loss of her child.
(7) The physical symptoms of obstetric fistula include
incontinence or constant uncontrollable leaking of urine or
feces, frequent bladder infections, infertility, and foul odor.
(8) The social consequences for women with obstetric
fistula include isolation and lack of opportunity, divorce or
abandonment, ridicule and shame, inability to start a family,
illness, and risk of violence.
(9) Although data on obstetric fistula are scarce, the
World Health Organization (WHO) estimates there are more than
2,000,000 women living with fistula and 50,000 to 100,000 new
cases each year.
(10) Obstetric fistula was once common throughout the
world, but over the last century has been eradicated in Europe,
North America, and other developed regions through improved
medical care.
(11) Obstetric fistula is fully preventable by having a
trained medical attendant present during labor and childbirth,
delaying early marriage and childbirth, and gaining access to
family planning.
(12) Obstetric fistula can also be surgically repaired.
Surgery requires a specially trained surgeon and support staff,
access to an operating theater and to attentive post-operative
care. Success rates for surgical repair of fistula are close to
90 percent and cost between $100 and $400.
(13) In 2003, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
launched a global campaign to identify and address the
incidence of obstetric fistula in Africa and Asia in an effort
to develop a means to repair those who are suffering and
provide the necessary health services to prevent further cases.
The campaign currently supports 20 countries in Africa and Asia
and provides surgery to women, trains doctors and nurses,
equips hospitals, and undertakes community outreach to prevent
further cases.
(14) The United States Government provided a voluntary
contribution of $21,500,000 to UNFPA for fiscal year 2001 and
the Administration's budget request for fiscal year 2002
allocated $25,000,000 for UNFPA.
(15) The UNFPA is working in 89 countries to reduce
maternal death and disability, including obstetric fistula,
through preventive, curative, and rehabilitative methods.
(16) In the winter of 2001, the Secretary of State
submitted written testimony to the Committee on Foreign
Relations of the Senate expressing support for the invaluable
work of the UNFPA and for securing funding for the
organization.
(17) The United States Government, as part of its efforts
to improve the dire health conditions of Afghan women, pledged
in October 2001 an additional $600,000 to the UNFPA to address
the reproductive health care needs of Afghan refugees in
surrounding nations and of internally displaced persons within
Afghanistan.
(18) Congress demonstrated its strong bipartisan support
for a voluntary United States contribution to the UNFPA of up
to $34,000,000 in the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2002, which was passed by
the House of Representatives on a vote of 357 to 66 and by the
Senate by unanimous consent and signed into law (Public Law
107-115) by the President on January 10, 2002. However, the
President decided not to obligate the funds.
(19) In May 2002, the President sent a 3-person delegation
to investigate UNFPA programs in China and allegations that the
agency was involved in coercive abortion practices.
(20) This independent delegation concluded that such
allegations were untrue.
(21) On May 29, 2002, the delegation sent a letter to the
Secretary of State stating the following: ''First Finding: We
find no evidence that UNFPA has knowingly supported or
participated in the management of a program of coercive
abortion or involuntary sterilization in the PRC. First
Recommendation: We therefore recommend that not more than
$34,000,000 which has already been appropriated be released to
UNFPA.''.
(22) Regrettably, the Administration overruled the
recommendation of its own delegation and invoked an overly
broad interpretation of the law in order to eliminate funding
for UNFPA.

SEC. 3. UNITED STATES VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED NATIONS
POPULATION FUND.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to amounts
otherwise available to carry out the purposes of chapter 3 of part 1 of
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, there are authorized to be
appropriated $34,000,000 for fiscal year 2004 and each subsequent
fiscal year to be available only for United States voluntary
contributions to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) only for
prevention, remedy, and repair of obstetric fistula.
