''SEC. 1312A. PAYMENT OF MULTIPERIL CLAIMS.

''(a) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are--
''(1) to allow an insured individual or small business to
commence repairs or replacement, or both, of insured property
and to recommence business operations as soon as possible after
a natural disaster; and
''(2) to remove the burden of determining flood and wind
loss allocation for the purpose of insurance claims from the
insured and to place such burden on the entities that are
responsible for the payment of such claims.
''(b) Payment of Multiperil Claims.--
''(1) In general.--In the event of an occurrence of loss
resulting from physical damage to or loss of real property or
personal property related thereto located in the United States
arising from the combined perils of flood and wind, the
Administrator and any insurer (including a State-run windpool)
that insures the wind peril shall enter into good faith
negotiations regarding--
''(A) the general method or methods by which proven
claims for such multiperil losses shall be adjusted and
paid; and
''(B) the allocation of such payments between the
insurer, the Administrator, and the insured.
''(2) Limitation.--
''(A) In general.--In the event that the
Administrator and an insurer (including a State-run
windpool) that insures the wind peril cannot agree as
to the specific distribution of perils that resulted in
a loss described under paragraph (1), the Administrator
shall pay 50 percent of the disputed claim until the
claim can be settled.
''(B) Fair share.--The terms of any agreement or
negotiations entered into pursuant to paragraph (1)
shall require that, in order to fully compensate the
insured for his, her, or its loss as soon as
practicable after the occurrence of such loss, an
insurer (including a State-run windpool) that insures
the wind peril pay 50 percent of any disputed claim
until the claim can be settled.
''(C) No overcompensation.--The Administrator and
an insurer (including a State-run windpool) that
insures the wind peril shall work collaboratively to
ensure that an insured policyholder does not receive
payments under this section in excess of the amount of
the insured's actual loss.
''(D) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this
section shall be construed to negate, set aside, or
void any policy limit, including any loss limitation,
set forth in a standard flood insurance policy.
''(c) Failure To Reach Agreement on Loss Allocation.--The terms of
any agreement or negotiations entered into pursuant to subsection
(b)(1) shall require that if an insurer (including a State-run
windpool) that insures the wind peril and the Administrator fail to
reach an agreement regarding multiperil losses pursuant to subsection
(b), including as to the cause or allocation of a multiperil loss, then
each such entity shall agree to have any dispute relating to multiperil
losses resolved by the arbitration panel established under subsection
(d).
''(d) Arbitration Panel.--

''(5) Independence.--Each member of the arbitration panel
established under paragraph (1) shall be independent and
neutral.''.
answer:
Coordination of Wind and Flood Perils Act of 2010 - Amends the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to direct the Administrator of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and any insurer (including a state-run windpool), in the event of loss resulting from physical damage to real property or personal property arising from the combined perils of flood and wind, to enter into good faith negotiations regarding: (1) payment and adjustment of proven claims for multiperil losses; and (2) the allocation of such payments among the insurer, the Administrator, and the insured.

Directs the Administrator to pay 50% percent of the disputed claim until it can be settled, if the Administrator and the insurer cannot agree as to the specific distribution of perils that resulted in a loss.

Requires such good faith negotiations to require that: (1) in order to fully compensate the insured for losses as soon as practicable, the insurer against wind peril shall pay 50% of any disputed claim until the claim can be settled; and (2) if an insurer against wind peril and the Administrator fail to agree regarding multiperil losses, then each shall agree to have any dispute resolved by the arbitration panel established under this Act.

Directs the Administrator to establish an arbitration panel to resolve disputes relating to multiperil losses between the Administrator and an insurer against wind peril.

''(a) Limitation on Remedies.--
''(1) Conditions.--Notwithstanding sections 502 through
505, in an action brought under this title for infringement of
copyright in a work, the remedies for infringement shall be
limited under subsection (b) if the infringer sustains the
burden of proving, and the court finds, that--
''(A) before the infringing use of the work began,
the infringer, a person acting on behalf of the
infringer, or any person jointly and severally liable
with the infringer for the infringement of the work--
''(i) performed and documented a reasonably
diligent search in good faith to locate the
owner of the infringed copyright; but
''(ii) was unable to locate the owner; and
''(B) the infringing use of the work provided
attribution, in a manner reasonable under the
circumstances, to the author and owner of the
copyright, if known with a reasonable degree of
certainty based on information obtained in performing
the reasonably diligent search.
''(2) Definitions; requirements for searches.--
''(A) Owner of infringed copyright.--For purposes
of paragraph (1), the 'owner' of an infringed copyright
in a work is the legal or beneficial owner of, or any
party with authority to grant or license, an exclusive
right under section 106 applicable to the infringement.
''(B) Requirements for reasonably diligent
search.--(i) For purposes of paragraph (1), a search to
locate the owner of an infringed copyright in a work--
''(I) is 'reasonably diligent' only if it
includes steps that are reasonable under the
circumstances to locate that owner in order to
obtain permission for the use of the work; and
''(II) is not 'reasonably diligent' solely
by reference to the lack of identifying
information with respect to the copyright on
the copy or phonorecord of the work.
''(ii) The steps referred to in clause (i)(I) shall
ordinarily include, at a minimum, review of the
information maintained by the Register of Copyrights
under subparagraph (C).
''(iii) A reasonably diligent search includes the
use of reasonably available expert assistance and
reasonably available technology, which may include, if
reasonable under the circumstances, resources for which
a charge or subscription fee is imposed.
''(C) Information to guide searches.--The Register
of Copyrights shall receive, maintain, and make
available to the public, including through the
Internet, information from authoritative sources, such
as industry guidelines, statements of best practices,
and other relevant documents, that is designed to
assist users in conducting and documenting a reasonably
diligent search under this subsection. Such information
may include--
''(i) the records of the Copyright Office
that are relevant to identifying and locating
copyright owners;
''(ii) other sources of copyright ownership
information reasonably available to users;
''(iii) methods to identify copyright
ownership information associated with a work;
''(iv) sources of reasonably available
technology tools and reasonably available
expert assistance; and
''(v) best practices for documenting a
reasonably diligent search.
''(b) Limitations on Remedies.--The limitations on remedies in a
case to which subsection (a) applies are the following:
''(1) Monetary relief.--
''(A) General rule.--Subject to subparagraph (B),
an award for monetary relief (including actual damages,
statutory damages, costs, and attorney's fees) may not
be made, other than an order requiring the infringer to
pay reasonable compensation for the use of the
infringed work.
''(B) Exceptions.--(i) An order requiring the
infringer to pay reasonable compensation for the use of
the infringed work may not be made under subparagraph
(A) if--
''(I) the infringement is performed without
any purpose of direct or indirect commercial
advantage and primarily for a charitable,
religious, scholarly, or educational purpose,
and
''(II) the infringer ceases the
infringement expeditiously after receiving
notice of the claim for infringement,
unless the copyright owner proves, and the court finds,
that the infringer has earned proceeds directly
attributable to the infringement.
''(ii) If the infringer fails to negotiate in good
faith with the owner of the infringed work regarding
the amount of reasonable compensation for the use of
the infringed work, the court may award full costs,
including a reasonable attorney's fee, against the
infringer under section 505, subject to section 412.
''(2) Injunctive relief.--
''(A) General rule.--Subject to subparagraph (B),
the court may impose injunctive relief to prevent or
restrain the infringing use, except that, if the
infringer has met the requirements of subsection (a),
the relief shall, to the extent practicable, account
for any harm that the relief would cause the infringer
due to its reliance on having performed a reasonably
diligent search under subsection (a).
''(B) Special rule for new works.--In a case in
which the infringer recasts, transforms, adapts, or
integrates the infringed work with the infringer's
original expression in a new work of authorship, the
court may not, in granting injunctive relief, restrain
the infringer's continued preparation or use of that
new work, if the infringer--
''(i) pays reasonable compensation to the
owner of the infringed copyright for the use of
the infringed work; and
''(ii) provides attribution to the owner of
the infringed copyright in a manner that the
court determines is reasonable under the
circumstances.
''(C) Treatment of parties not subject to suit.--
The limitations on remedies under this paragraph shall
not be available to an infringer that asserts in an
action under section 501(b) that neither it nor its
representative acting in an official capacity is
subject to suit in Federal court for an award of
damages to the copyright owner under section 504,
unless the court finds that such infringer has--
''(i) complied with the requirements of
subsection (a) of this section;
''(ii) made a good faith offer of
compensation that was rejected by the copyright
owner; and
''(iii) affirmed in writing its willingness
to pay such compensation to the copyright owner
upon the determination by the court that such
compensation was reasonable under paragraph (3)
of this subsection.
''(D) Construction.--Nothing in subparagraph (C)
shall be deemed to authorize or require, and no action
taken pursuant to subparagraph (C) shall be deemed to
constitute, an award of damages by the court against
the infringer.
''(E) Rights and privileges not waived.--No action
taken by an infringer pursuant to subparagraph (C)
shall be deemed to waive any right or privilege that,
as a matter of law, protects such infringer from being
subject to suit in Federal court for an award of
damages to the copyright owner under section 504.
''(3) Reasonable compensation.--In establishing reasonable
compensation under paragraph (1) or (2), the owner of the
infringed copyright has the burden of establishing the amount
on which a reasonable willing buyer and a reasonable willing
seller in the positions of the owner and the infringer would
have agreed with respect to the infringing use of the work
immediately before the infringement began.
''(c) Preservation of Other Rights, Limitations, and Defense.--This
section does not affect any right, limitation, or defense to copyright
infringement, including fair use, under this title. If another
provision of this title provides for a statutory license when the
copyright owner cannot be located, that provision applies in lieu of
this section.
''(d) Copyright for Derivative Works.--Notwithstanding section
103(a), the infringing use of a work in accordance with this section
shall not limit or affect the copyright protection for a work that uses
the infringed work.''.

title 17, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the
following new item:

''514. Limitation on remedies in cases involving orphan works''.

(a) In General.--The Register of Copyrights shall conduct an
inquiry with respect to remedies for copyright infringement claims

Representatives and the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate a

answer:
Orphan Works Act of 2006 - Limits the remedies available in a copyright infringement action if the infringer proves that: (1) the infringer performed and documented a reasonably diligent search in good faith to locate the copyright owner before using the work, but was unable to locate the owner; and (2) the infringing use of the work provided attribution to the author and owner of the copyright, if known.

Requires the Register of Copyrights to make information available from authoritative sources to assist users in conducting and documenting a reasonably diligent search.

Permits an award of reasonable compensation for the use of the infringed work, except if: (1) the infringement is performed without any commercial advantage and for primarily a charitable, religious, scholarly, or educational purpose; and (2) the infringer ceases the infringement expeditiously after receiving notice of the claim for infringement.

Allows the court to impose injunctive relief to prevent or restrain the infringing use, but such relief shall account for harm caused to the infringer due to reliance on having performed a reasonably diligent search. Prohibits the court from imposing injunctive relief that restrains the continued preparation or use of a new work that recasts, transforms, adapts, or integrates the infringed work with the infringer's original expression in a new work of authorship if the infringer pays reasonable compensation and provides attribution to the copyright owner.

Requires the Register of Copyrights to conduct an inquiry with respect to remedies for copyright infringement claims seeking limited amounts of monetary relief, including consideration of alternatives to disputes currently heard in the U.S. district courts.

answer:
Preventing and Reducing Improper Medicare and Medicaid Expenditures to Restore Integrity to Benefits Act of 2015 This bill amends title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act to make several changes related to the prevention of Medicaid fraud. With respect to the Medicaid Integrity Program (MIP), the bill: (1) specifies that program appropriationsmay cover costs of equipment, travel, training, and salaries and benefits; and (2) allows the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) flexibility in determining the number of additional staff necessary to carry out the program. (MIP is a federal program aimed at preventing and reducing provider fraud, waste, and abuse in the Medicaid program.) Under current law, HHS may contract with Medicare administrative contractors (MACs), which areprivateinsurers that process Medicare claims withinspecified geographic jurisdictions. The billrequires HHS to provide specified incentives for MACs to reduce improper payment error rates within their jurisdictions. The bill establishes criminal penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment and up to $500,000 in fines for illegally purchasing or distributing Medicare, Medicaid, or Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) beneficiary identification or billing privileges. The bill increases the scope of the Medicare-Medicaid Data Match Program (Medi-Medi Program), an existing program through which contractors and participatinggovernmental agencies collaboratively analyzeMedicare and Medicaid billing trends. HHS must establish a plan to encourage states to participate in the Medi-Medi Program. HHS shall develop and implement a plan to allow states to access relevant data on improper or fraudulent payments made under the Medicare program on behalf of individuals dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.
