weight to any adverse impact on public safety or the operation
of a criminal justice system caused by the relief.
''(2) Prison population reduction relief.--In any civil
action with respect to prison conditions, the court shall not
grant or approve any relief whose purpose or effect is to
reduce or limit the prison population, unless the plaintiff

the Federal right and no other relief will remedy that
deprivation.

year period.--In any civil action with respect to prison
conditions, any prospective relief shall automatically
terminate 4 years after the later of--

that was the basis for the relief; or
''(B) in the case of a final judgment entered more
than 4 years before the date of the enactment of the
Prison Judgment Relief Act of 1995, 180 days after the
date of the enactment of such Act.
''(2) Immediate termination of prospective relief.--In any
civil action with respect to prison conditions, a defendant or

any prospective relief, if that relief was approved or granted
in the absence of a finding by the court that prison conditions
violated a Federal right.
''(c) Procedure for Motions Affecting Prospective Relief.--The
court shall promptly rule on any motion to modify or terminate
prospective relief in a civil action with respect to prison conditions.

in effect of that relief and may intervene in any proceeding relating

subsection so as to effectuate the remedial purposes of this section.
''(e) Special Masters.--In any civil action in a Federal court with
respect to prison conditions, any special master or monitor shall be a
United States magistrate and shall make proposed findings on the record
on complicated factual issues submitted to that special master or
monitor by the court, but shall have no other function. The parties may
not by consent extend the function of a special master beyond that
permitted under this subsection.
''(f) Attorney's Fees.--No attorney's fee under section 722 of the
Revised Statutes of the United States (42 U.S.C. 1988) may be granted
to a plaintiff in a civil action with respect to prison conditions

obtains court ordered relief for that violation.''.
''(g) Definitions.--As used in this section--

than compensatory monetary damages.''
(b) Application of Amendment.--Section 3626 of title 18, United
States Code, as amended by this section, shall apply with respect to
all relief (as defined in such section) whether such relief was
originally granted or approved before, on, or after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
(c) Clerical Amendment.--The item relating to section 3526 in the

Passed the House of Representatives April 26, 2016.

Attest:

KAREN L. HAAS,

Clerk.

Answer:
This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on March 23, 2016. The summary of that version is repeated here. Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act of 2016 (Sec. 2) This bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to revise and reauthorize the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Great Lakes Restoration Initiative for FY2017-FY2021. The bill restates the initiative's priorities for Great Lakes protection and restoration programs and projects, including: (1) the remediation of toxic substances and areas of concern; (2) the prevention and control of invasive species and their impacts; (3) the protection and restoration of near-shore health and the prevention and mitigation of nonpoint source pollution (water pollution that comes from many diffuse sources, such as pollution on the ground picked up by rain or snow); (4) habitat and wildlife protection and restoration; and (5) accountability, monitoring, evaluation, communication, and partnership activities. In selecting the best combination of the initiative's programs and projects, the EPA must consult with the Great Lake states and Indian Tribes and solicit input from other non-federal stakeholders. The EPA must designate a point person from an appropriate federal partner to coordinate, with federal partners and non-federal stakeholders, the initiative's projects and activities involving harmful algal blooms in the Great Lakes. In addition to current requirements concerning the use of funds made available to carry out the initiative, the bill requires initiative funds to be used to strategically implement operations and activities of EPA's Great Lakes National Program Office, such as remediation of sediment contamination in areas of concern. The EPA or federal department or agency that receives funds under the initiative may make a grant to, or enter into an agreement with, a qualified nonfederal entity for planning, researching, monitoring, outreach, or implementation of a project that supports the Initiative Action Plan or the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Projects may be carried out under the initiative on multiple levels, including at the local level. Funding made available to implement the initiative may not be used for any water infrastructure activity (other than a green infrastructure project that improves habitat and other ecosystem functions in the Great Lakes) for which funding is made available under the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014. The EPA must review, and revise, if appropriate, the Initiative Action Plan at least once every five years. The EPA must also: (1) establish a process for monitoring and periodically reporting to the public on the plan's progress, (2) make information about each project carried out under the plan available on a public website, and (3) provide to specified congressional committees a yearly detailed description of the initiative's progress and amounts transferred to participating federal departments and agencies for carrying out activities that support the initiative.
