SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Private Wireless Spectrum Use Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Competent management of the electromagnetic radio
        spectrum includes continued availability of spectrum for
        private wireless entities because of such entitiesD23/' unique
        ability to achieve substantial efficiencies in their use of
        this important and finite public resource. A private wireless
        system licensee or entity is able to customize communications
        systems to meet the individual needs of that licensee or end
        user while using engineering solutions and other cooperative
        arrangements to share spectrum with other private system
        licensees and entities without causing harmful interference or
        other degradation of quality or reliability to such other
        licensees or entities. Accordingly, spectrum allocations for
        the shared use of private wireless systems achieve a high level
        of spectrum use efficiency and contribute to the economic and
        social welfare of the United States.
            (2) Wireless communication systems dedicated to the
        internal communication needs of America's industrial, land
        transportation, energy (including utilities and pipelines), and
        other business enterprises are critical to the competitiveness
        of American industry and business in international commerce;
        increase corporate productivity; enhance the safety and welfare
        of employees; and improve the delivery of products and services
        to consumers in the United States and abroad.
            (3) During the past decade, the Federal Communications
        Commission allocation and licensing policies have led to
        dramatic increases in spectrum available for commercial mobile
        radio services while the spectrum available for private mobile
        radio systems has decreased, even though the Commission
        recognizes the spectrum use efficiencies and other public
        benefits of such private systems and the substantial increases
        in the use of such systems.
            (4) Spectrum auctions are designed to select among
        competing applications for spectrum licenses when engineering
        solutions, negotiation, threshold qualifications, service
        regulations, and other cooperative means employed by the
        Commission are not able to prevent mutual exclusivity among
        such applications. Private wireless systems, on the other hand,
        avoid mutual exclusivity through cooperative, multiple uses
        generally achieved by the Commission, the users, or the
        frequency advisory committees. Accordingly, the requirements of
        such private wireless systems are accommodated within the
        spectrum bands allocated for private uses. Since there is no
        mutual exclusivity among private wireless system applications,
        there is no need for the Commission to employ a mechanism, such
        as auctions, to select among applications. Auction valuation
        principles also do not apply to the private wireless licensing
        process because the private wireless spectrum is not used on a
        commercial, interconnected basis. Rather, such private
        allocations are used for internal communications applications
        to enhance safety, efficiency and productivity. Nonetheless,
        there should be some payment associated with the assignment of
        new private wireless spectrum, and the Commission can and
        should develop a payment mechanism for this purpose.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since 1948, the United States, Greece, and the
        international community at large have recognized Israel's right
        to exist and to defend itself and conduct legitimate self-
        defense.
            (2) Since 2001, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and
        the other Palestinian terrorist organizations operating in the
        Gaza Strip and supported by Iran and Syria have launched over
        10,000 rockets into Israeli civilian populations and across
        Israeli territory.
            (3) Since the beginning of 2010, Israel has provided over
        100,000 tons of aid to the people living in Gaza.
            (4) Israel's blockade is acknowledged by the United States
        as necessary and legal given Hamas' control of Gaza, intention
        to secure greater weaponry for aggressive purposes and open
        desire to destroy Israel.
            (5) According to sources, the United Nations-commissioned
        Palmer Report which was released on July 7, 2011, concludes
        that the Israeli naval blockade on Gaza is legal and is in
        accordance with international law.
            (6) The Israeli Government has repeatedly indicated that
        any desire to provide humanitarian materiel to Gaza can be done
        through the port of Ashdod then delivered to Gaza by land.
            (7) Recent past history has suggested that the sole intent
        of the flotillas is to provoke an Israeli military response in
        the international waters of the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
            (8) The Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of
        the Treasury have determined that flotilla organizers Free Gaza
        and the Insan Hak ve Hurriyetleri ve Insani Yardim Vakfi (IHH),
        an Islamic nongovernmental organization (known in English as
        the Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian
        Relief), have known terrorist ties.
            (9) In 2010, IHH organized a flotilla that included the
        ship Mavi Marmara carrying 40 IHH members, including Fatima
        Mahmadi, Ken O'Keefe, Hassan Iynasi, Hussein Urosh, Ahmad
        Umimon, and others with known links to Al Qaeda, Hamas, and
        other terrorist organizations who were armed with 100 metal
        rods, 200 knives, 150 military self-defense vests, 50 wooden
        clubs, gas masks, and a telescopic sight for a gun.
            (10) The explicit objective of the Gaza Flotilla organizers
        that set sail in 2010 was to breach Israel's coastal security
        by breaking the lawful and legitimate Israeli maritime security
        perimeter around the Gaza Strip.
            (11) According to a June 7, 2010, report by the
        Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (known by its
        Hebrew acronym MALAM), based on security interviews of the Gaza
        Flotilla participants, at least 40 of the 500 passengers aboard
        the Mavi Marmara vessel were IHH operatives who boarded the
        ship in an Istanbul port prior to the security checks conducted
        at the port in Antalya, Turkey, to which the other passengers,
        mostly humanitarian volunteers, were subject.
            (12) According to this Intelligence and Terrorism
        Information Center report, these IHH activists were equipped
        with communications equipment, flak jackets, and gas masks.
            (13) The group operated with a clear internal hierarchy,
        with specific activists nominated as fighting commanders and
        who turned the upper deck of the Mavi Marmara into its
        headquarters, blocking it off to other passengers.
            (14) In the most recent organization of a Gaza flotilla,
        Greece worked with the Israeli Government in order to prohibit
        any violations of Israel's legal blockade of Gaza.
            (15) Greece has proven itself to be a strategic partner and
        ally of the United States in anchoring political stability and
        advancing economic development in the Balkan and Black Sea
        regions of southeast Europe and Eurasia, in the Middle East and
        northern Africa, and throughout the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
            (16) Greece is an active participant in peacekeeping and
        peace-building operations conducted by international
        organizations, including the United Nations, the North Atlantic
        Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Union (EU), and the
        Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
            (17) Greece acted without hesitation in prohibiting any
        Greek-flagged or foreign-flagged vessels from setting sail out
        of Greek ports into the water of the Gaza naval blockade.
            (18) Pursuant to a decision by the Minister of Citizen
        Protection, Mr. C. Papoutsis, the departure of ships with Greek
        and foreign flags from Greek ports to Gaza was prohibited on
        July 1, 2011, and the Hellenic Coast Guard ordered that all
        appropriate measures be taken for the implementation of such
        decision.
            (19) The Greek Government worked diligently to ensure the
        safety of even the organizers of the flotilla knowing that
        their reckless, irresponsible, and provocative acts against a
        sovereign country engaged in self-defense could result in great
        bodily harm or even death to themselves and other individuals.
            (20) The Greek Government took more extraordinary measures
        to ensure that the broader maritime area of the eastern
        Mediterranean Sea would be continuously monitored by electronic
        means for tracking, where applicable, the movements of the
        ships allegedly participating in such an illegal campaign.
            (21) Greek authorities boarded ships and took into custody
        several individuals, including Captain John Klusmire of the
        ship Audacity of Hope as it violated Greek Coast Guard orders
        by setting sail without permission.
            (22) Greek authorities acted in accordance with the
        recommendation of the Quartet--the United States, the European
        Union, the United States and Russia--as it urged countries to
        prohibit Gaza-bound flotillas that would serve solely to
        escalate tension in the Middle East.

SEC. 2. DECLARATION OF CONGRESS.

    Congress--
            (1) notes the important role that Greece has played in the
        wider European, Eurasian, and Middle Eastern regions, and in
        the community of nations by promoting, peace, freedom,
        democracy, and security; and
            (2) stands behind Israel for its sovereign right to defend
        its citizens and its territory, and specifically for its
        actions to prevent the import of offensive weaponry into the
        hands of Hamas, Palestinian Jihad, and other terrorist
        organizations in the Gaza Strip.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that the United States should take
appropriate diplomatic steps to express gratitude to Greece for
upholding the rule of law in preventing hostile forces from violating a
legal naval blockade of Gaza by Israel and thereby advancing the
security of its ally Israel.

Provides that amounts in the Counter-Terrorism Trust Fund shall be available, as provided in appropriation Acts, for purposes of making expenditures for counter-terrorism efforts by the United States. Authorizes the issuance of bonds to be known as Freedom Bonds, in response to the acts of terrorism perpetrated against the United States on September 11, 2001. Requires proceeds from the issuance of Freedom Bonds to be used to raise funds to assist in recovery operations following such terrorist acts and for efforts to combat terrorism. Permits a taxpayer to designate that a specified portion of any tax overpayment and any cash contribution which the taxpayer includes with such return be deposited into the Counter-Terrorism Trust Fund. Requires, in addition to other fees authorized to be charged for the consideration or processing of an application for an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Attorney General to impose an additional 15 percent surcharge. Requires amounts collected pursuant to such surcharge to be held in a separate account and transferred to the Counter-Terrorism Trust Fund.

To provide for creation of a Counter-terrorism Trust Fund, to provide for the issuance of Freedom Bonds, to allow taxpayers to contribute income tax refunds and other amounts to support counter-terrorism efforts, and for other purposes.


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE, FINDINGS, AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Target Practice
and Marksmanship Training Support Act''.
    (b) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Use of firearms for target practice and marksmanship
        training on Federal lands is allowed except to the extent
        specific portions of such lands have been closed to such
        activities.
            (2) In recent years, considerations of public safety have
        made it necessary to close additional portions of Federal lands
        to target practice and marksmanship training, especially in
        States that have experienced significant population growth.
            (3) Use of public target ranges on Federal lands is often
        more consistent with public safety and convenience than use of
        undeveloped Federal lands for target practice and marksmanship
        training.
            (4) It is in the public interest for the Federal Government
        to provide support for construction or expansion of public
        target ranges, especially in States where population growth and
        patterns of settlement in recent years have made it necessary
        to prohibit such activities on Federal lands where target
        practice and marksmanship training were formerly allowed.
            (5) Current law, including the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
        Restoration Act, provides Federal support for construction or
        expansion of public target ranges by making available to States
        funds that can be used for construction, operation, and
        maintenance of public target ranges.
            (6) It is in the public interest to provide greater Federal
        support to facilitate construction or expansion of public
        target ranges in States that have experienced population growth
        and a reduction in the number of such target ranges on Federal
        lands.
    (c) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to facilitate the
construction and expansion of public target ranges, including ranges on
Federal lands managed by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land
Management, in States that have experienced population growth and a
reduction in the extent to which target practice and marksmanship
training are permitted on Federal lands in such States.

SEC. 2. FUNDING.

    (a) Cost Sharing and Availability of Funds.--Section 10 of the
Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669h-1) is
amended as follows:
            (1) By amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
    ``(b) Cost Sharing.--
            ``(1) In general.--Except as provided by paragraph (2), the
        Federal share of the cost of any activity carried out with a
        grant under this section shall not exceed 75 percent of the
        total cost of the activity.
            ``(2) Public target range construction or expansion.--
                    ``(A) The Federal share of the cost of acquiring
                land for, or construction or expansion of, a public
                target range in an eligible State shall not exceed 90
                percent of such cost.
                    ``(B) For purposes of this paragraph, the term
                `eligible State' means a State that, since the most
                recent decennial census, has experienced--
                            ``(i) at least a 2 percent growth in
                        population, as demonstrated by the State to the
                        satisfaction of the Secretary; and
                            ``(ii) a reduction in the acreage of
                        Federal lands in such State where target
                        practice and marksmanship training are
                        permitted, as determined by the Secretary.''.
            (2) In subsection (c)(1), by striking the final period and
        inserting the following: ``except that amounts provided for
        acquiring land for, or construction or expansion of, public
        target ranges shall remain available until expended in the case
        of a State that, since the most recent decennial census, has
        experienced--
                    ``(A) at least a 2 percent growth in population, as
                demonstrated by the State to the satisfaction of the
                Secretary; and
                    ``(B) a reduction in the acreage of Federal lands
                in such State where target practice and marksmanship
                training are permitted, as determined by the
                Secretary.''.

Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669c) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsection (c) (relating to
        apportionment of Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Account)
        as subsection (d) and subsection (d) (relating to Wildlife
        Conservation and Restoration Programs) as subsection (e);
            (2) in subsection (e)(3), as redesignated by paragraph (1),
        by striking ``subsection (c)'' and inserting ``subsection
        (d)''; and
            (3) in subsection (e)(4)(B), as redesignated by paragraph
        (1), by--
                    (A) inserting ``(i)'' after ``(B)''; and
                    (B) adding at the end the following new clauses:
                            ``(ii) During the first fiscal year
                        beginning after the date of enactment of the
                        Target Practice and Marksmanship Training
                        Support Act and each of the 9 subsequent fiscal
                        years, not more than 10 percent of the amounts
                        apportioned to an eligible State under this
                        section for such State's wildlife conservation
                        and restoration program may be used for
                        acquiring land for, or construction or
                        expansion of, public target ranges or for
                        assisting a Federal land-management agency with
                        environmental remediation or other steps needed
                        to allow for public target ranges on Federal
                        lands.
                            ``(iii) As used in clause (ii), the term
                        `eligible State' means a State that, since the
                        most recent decennial census, has experienced--
                                    ``(I) at least a 2 percent growth
                                in population, as demonstrated by the
                                State to the satisfaction of the
                                Secretary; and
                                    ``(II) a reduction in the acreage
                                of Federal lands in such State where
                                target practice and marksmanship
                                training are permitted, as determined
                                by the Secretary.''.

SEC. 3. LIMITS ON LIABILITY.

    (a) Discretionary Function.--For purposes of the Federal Tort
Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 1346(b), 2671-2680), any action by an agent or
employee of the United States to authorize use of Federal land for
purposes of target practice or marksmanship training by members of the
public shall be considered to constitute the exercise or performance of
a discretionary function.
    (b) Civil Action or Claims.--Except to the extent provided in the
Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 1346(b), 2671-2680), the United
States shall not be subject to any civil action or claim for money
damages for injury or loss of property, or personal injury or death
caused by any activity occurring at a public target range that is
wholly or partially funded by the United States pursuant to this Act or
located on Federal land.

SEC. 4. COOPERATION.

    It is the sense of Congress that, consistent with applicable laws
and regulations, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management
should cooperate with State and local authorities and other entities to
carry out environmental remediation or other activities on Federal
lands used as public target ranges in order to avoid closing such lands
to use for target practice or marksmanship training.

Summary: Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act - Amends the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to limit the federal share of the cost of acquiring land for, or construction or expansion of, public target ranges in eligible states to 90 of such cost. Defines eligible state to mean a state that, since the most recent decennial census, has experienced: (1) at least a 2 growth in population. And (2) a reduction in the acreage of federal lands in such state where target practice and marksmanship training are permitted. Specifies that amounts made available and apportioned for grants that are provided to eligible states under the firearm and bow hunter education and safety program for acquiring land for, or construction or expansion of, public target ranges shall remain available until they are expended. Permits not more than 10 of the amounts apportioned to an eligible state under the Act for such state's wildlife conservation and restoration program to be used for acquiring land for, or construction or expansion of, public target ranges or for assisting a federal land-management agency with environmental remediation or other steps needed to allow for public target ranges on federal lands.

To facilitate the establishment of additional or expanded public target ranges in certain States.

                    ``(iv) Coercion.--The approval, by the retail
                depository institution, of an extension of credit may
                not be conditioned on:

                        which is sold by the retail depository

        the consumer of such product, a separate statement, signed and
        dated by the consumer, which contains the declaration that the
        purchaser has received the disclosure required under this
        subsection with respect to such product. Notwithstanding any
        rule of evidence, written acknowledgement of receipt of any
        disclosures by a person to whom such information is required to

        delivery thereof.

                product.

regulations prescribed pursuant to subsection (a) shall include such
provisions as the Federal banking agencies consider appropriate to
ensure that the acceptance of deposits or the extension of credit by a
depository institution, are kept physically segregated from nondeposit
product activity. These provisions should include at a minimum the
following provisions:
            ``(1) Separate setting.--A clear delineation of the setting

        physically segregated from the area where retail deposits are
        accepted, extensions of credit are granted or insured products
        are sold by or on behalf of a depository institution.
            ``(2) Certain persons prohibited from selling nondeposit
        products.--Standards prohibiting any person who accepts

                Exchange Commission as a broker or dealer, as a
