GENERAL PROVISION, THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 101. Assistance To Agricultural Producers That Have Used Water For Irrigation From Rio Grande River. (a) In General.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall use $10,000,000 of the funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation to make a grant to the State of Texas, acting through the Texas Department of Agriculture, to provide assistance to agricultural producers in the State of Texas with farming operations along the Rio Grande River that have suffered economic losses during the 2001 crop year due to the failure of Mexico to deliver water to the United States in accordance with the Treaty Relating to the Utilization of Waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande, and Supplementary Protocol signed November 14, 1944, signed at Washington on February 3, 1944 (59 Stat. 1219; TS 944).
(b) Amount.--The amount of assistance provided to individual agricultural producers under this section shall be proportional to the amount of actual losses described in subsection (a) that were incurred by the producers.
(c) Emergency Requirement.--
(1) In general.--The entire amount necessary to carry out this section shall be available only to the extent that an official budget request for the entire amount, that includes designation of the entire amount of the request as an emergency requirement under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 900 et seq.), is transmitted by the President to Congress.
(2) Designation.--The entire amount necessary to carry out this section is designated by Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of that Act (2 U.S.C. 901(b)(2)(A)).
Sec. 102. Not later than 14 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture shall carry out the transfer of funds under section 2507(a) of the Food Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-171).
Sec. 103. Sense of the Senate on Compensation to Producers of Poultry Affected by Avian Influenza. It is the Sense of the Senate that the Secretary of Agriculture act expeditiously to provide compensation through the Commodity Credit Corporation to producers of poultry that have been affected by outbreaks of avian influenza in Virginia, West Virginia, and other States which have resulted in the destruction of poultry flocks in order to contain this disease.
Sec. 104. (a) Findings.--(1) Of the 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS, nearly 2.7 million are children under 15, and 11.8 million are young people aged 15-24, more than 540,000 children were infected in mother-to-child transmission in 2000, and a baby born to an HIV-positive mother has a 25 to 35 percent chance of becoming infected.
(2) Targeted provision of dairy products for HIV/AIDS mitigation provides an economical and efficient means to strengthen nutrition, ward off infectious diseases and extend the lives of HIV-positive individuals.
(3) Good nutrition including dairy products is critical to programs that provide and enhance anti-retroviral drugs to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS, and nutrition experts recommend the use of dairy products with anti-retroviral drugs to combat mother-to-child transmission.
(4) In the diets of young children, growing adolescents and pregnant women, milk has been proven to provide a concentration of critical nutritional elements that promote growth and robust health, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends that dairy products be used to boost the nutrition of HIV-positive young children.
(5) It is imperative that attempts to improve the availability of dairy products to the HIV/AIDS afflicted do not undermine the security and stability of the indigenous dairy production and processing sector.
(6) The United States has more than 1 billion pounds
(450,000 metric tons) of surplus non-fat dry milk in storage that has been acquired at an average cost of over 90 cents per pound for a total cost approaching $1,000,000,000, and storage costs are $1,500,000 per month and growing.
(7) This huge amount of milk overhangs the United States and world markets and deteriorates rapidly, going out of condition in about 3 years when it must be sold for a salvage value of only a few cents per pound.
(8) The impacts of breast-feeding on mother-to-child transmission remain controversial and appropriate interventions are not yet scientifically proven, especially in low-income communities where appropriate alternatives are not available and may be unsafe.
(9) There is a need for non-fat dry milk in international relief to use in human feeding programs that target the most vulnerable in society, particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of Agriculture should--
(1) utilize the existing 416(b) authority of the Agricultural Act of 1949 to dispose of dairy surpluses for direct feeding programs to mothers and children living with HIV/AIDS and communities heavily impacted by the HIV/AIDS pandemic;
(2) make available funds for the provision of 100,000 metric tons of surplus non-fat dry milk to combat HIV/AIDS, with a special focus on HIV-positive mothers and children, to include ocean and inland transportation, accounting, monitoring and evaluation expenses incurred by the Secretary of Agriculture, and expenses incurred by private and voluntary organizations and cooperatives related to market assessments, project design, fortification, distribution, and other project expenses;
(3) give careful consideration to the local market conditions before dairy products are donated or monetized into a local economy, so as not to undermine the security and stability of the indigenous dairy production and processing sector; and
(4) Use none of these funds or commodities in any programs that would substitute dairy products for breast-feeding.
Sec. 105. (a) Rescission.--The unobligated balance of authority available under section 2108(a) of Public Law 107-20 is rescinded as of the date of the enactment of this Act.
(b) Appropriation.--There is appropriated to the Secretary of Agriculture an amount equal to the unobligated balance rescinded by subsection (a) for expenses through fiscal year 2003 under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1721-1726a) for commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad pursuant to title II of said Act.
Sec. 106. Section 416(b)(7)(D)(iv) of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431(b)(7)(D)(iv)) is amended by striking
``subsection.'' and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
``subsection, or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this subsection.''.
Sec. 107. Notwithstanding any other provision of law and effective on the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary may use an amount not to exceed $12,000,000 from the amounts appropriated under the heading Food Safety and Inspection Service under the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2001 (Public Law 106-387) to liquidate over-obligations and over-expenditures of the Food Safety and Inspection Service incurred during previous fiscal years, approved by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget based on documentation provided by the Secretary of Agriculture.

TITLE III--AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS' PROTECTION ACT
SEC. 3001. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``American Servicemembers' Protection Act of 2002''.
SEC. 3002. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On July 17, 1998, the United Nations Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court, meeting in Rome, Italy, adopted the ``Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court''. The vote on whether to proceed with the statute was 120 in favor to 7 against, with 21 countries abstaining. The United States voted against final adoption of the Rome Statute.
(2) As of April 30, 2001, 139 countries had signed the Rome Statute and 30 had ratified it. Pursuant to Article 126 of the Rome Statute, the statute will enter into force on the first day of the month after the 60th day following the date on which the 60th country deposits an instrument ratifying the statute.
(3) Since adoption of the Rome Statute, a Preparatory Commission for the International Criminal Court has met regularly to draft documents to implement the Rome Statute, including Rules of Procedure and Evidence, Elements of Crimes, and a definition of the Crime of Aggression.
(4) During testimony before the Congress following the adoption of the Rome Statute, the lead United States negotiator, Ambassador David Scheffer stated that the United States could not sign the Rome Statute because certain critical negotiating objectives of the United States had not been achieved. As a result, he stated: ``We are left with consequences that do not serve the cause of international justice.''
(5) Ambassador Scheffer went on to tell the Congress that:
``Multinational peacekeeping forces operating in a country that has joined the treaty can be exposed to the Court's jurisdiction even if the country of the individual peacekeeper has not joined the treaty. Thus, the treaty purports to establish an arrangement whereby United States armed forces operating overseas could be conceivably prosecuted by the international court even if the United States has not agreed to be bound by the treaty. Not only is this contrary to the most fundamental principles of treaty law, it could inhibit the ability of the United States to use its military to meet alliance obligations and participate in multinational operations, including humanitarian interventions to save civilian lives. Other contributors to peacekeeping operations will be similarly exposed.''.
(6) Notwithstanding these concerns, President Clinton directed that the United States sign the Rome Statute on December 31, 2000. In a statement issued that day, he stated that in view of the unremedied deficiencies of the Rome Statute, ``I will not, and do not recommend that my successor submit the Treaty to the Senate for advice and consent until our fundamental concerns are satisfied''.
(7) Any American prosecuted by the International Criminal Court will, under the Rome Statute, be denied procedural protections to which all Americans are entitled under the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution, such as the right to trial by jury.
(8) Members of the Armed Forces of the United States should be free from the risk of prosecution by the International Criminal Court, especially when they are stationed or deployed around the world to protect the vital national interests of the United States. The United States Government has an obligation to protect the members of its Armed Forces, to the maximum extent possible, against criminal prosecutions carried out by the International Criminal Court.
(9) In addition to exposing members of the Armed Forces of the United States to the risk of international criminal prosecution, the Rome Statute creates a risk that the President and other senior elected and appointed officials of the United States Government may be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court. Particularly if the Preparatory Commission agrees on a definition of the Crime of Aggression over United States objections, senior United States officials may be at risk of criminal prosecution for national security decisions involving such matters as responding to acts of terrorism, preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and deterring aggression. No less than members of the Armed Forces of the United States, senior officials of the United States Government should be free from the risk of prosecution by the International Criminal Court, especially with respect to official actions taken by them to protect the national interests of the United States.
(10) Any agreement within the Preparatory Commission on a definition of the Crime of Aggression that usurps the prerogative of the United Nations Security Council under Article 39 of the charter of the United Nations to
``determine the existence of any . . . . act of aggression'' would contravene the charter of the United Nations and undermine deterrence.
(11) It is a fundamental principle of international law that a treaty is binding upon its parties only and that it does not create obligations for nonparties without their consent to be bound. The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute and will not be bound by any of its terms. The United States will not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court over United States nationals.
SEC. 3003. WAIVER AND TERMINATION OF PROHIBITIONS OF THIS
TITLE.

TITLE IV--MAIL DELIVERY IN ALASKA
SEC. 4001. RURAL SERVICE IMPROVEMENT.
(a) Short Title.--This title may be cited as the ``Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002''.
(b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The State of Alaska is the largest State in the Union and has a very limited system of roads connecting communities.
(2) Alaska has more pilots per capita than any other State in the Union.
(3) Pilots flying in Alaska are often the most skilled and best-prepared pilots in the world.
(4) Air travel within the State of Alaska is often hampered by severe weather conditions and treacherous terrain.
(5) The United States Government owns nearly \2/3\ of Alaska's landmass, including large tracts of land separating isolated communities within the State.
(6) Such Federal ownership has inhibited the ability of Alaskans to build roads connecting isolated communities.
(7) Most communities and a large portion of the population within the State can only be reached by air.
(8) The vast majority of food items and everyday necessities destined for these isolated communities and populations can only be transported through the air.
(9) The Intra-Alaska Bypass Mail system, created by Congress and operated by the United States Postal Service under section 5402 of title 39, United States Code, with input from the Department of Transportation, connecting hundreds of rural and isolated communities within the State, is a critical piece of the Alaska and the national transportation system. The system is like a 4-legged stool, designed to--
(A) provide the most affordable means of delivering food and everyday necessities to these rural and isolated communities;
(B) establish a system whereby the Postal Service can meet its obligations to deliver mail to every house and business in America;
(C) support affordable and reliable passenger service; and
(D) support affordable and reliable nonmail freight service.
(10) Without the Intra-Alaska Bypass Mail system--
(A) it would be difficult and more expensive for the Postal Service to meet its obligation of delivering mail to every house and business in America; and
(B) food, medicine, freight, and everyday necessities and passenger service for these rural and isolated communities would cost several times the current level.
(11) Attempts by Congress to support passenger and nonmail freight service in Alaska using the Intra-Alaska Bypass Mail system have yielded some positive results, but some carriers have been manipulating the system by carrying few, if any, passengers and little nonmail freight while earning most of their revenues from the carriage of nonpriority bypass mail.
(12) As long as the Federal Government continues to own large tracts of land within the State of Alaska which impedes access across these lands to connect isolated communities, it is in the best interest of the Postal Service, the residents of Alaska and the United States--
(A) to ensure that the Intra-Alaska Bypass Mail system remains strong, viable, and affordable for the Postal Service;
(B) to ensure that residents of rural and isolated communities in Alaska continue to have affordable, reliable, and safe passenger service;
(C) to ensure that residents of rural and isolated communities in Alaska continue to have affordable, reliable, and safe nonmail freight service;
(D) to encourage that intra-Alaska air carriers move toward safer, more secure, and more reliable air transportation under the Federal Aviation Administration's guidelines and in accordance with part 121 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, where such operations are supported by the needs of the community; and
(E) that Congress, pursuant to the authority granted under Article I, section 8 of the United States Constitution to establish Post Offices and post roads, make changes to ensure that the Intra-Alaska Bypass Mail system continues to be used to support substantial passenger and nonmail freight service and to reduce costs for the Postal Service.
(c) Selection of Carriers of Nonpriority Bypass Mail to Certain Points in Alaska.--

``(C) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1)(B) and (5)(A), a new 121 mainline passenger carrier, otherwise qualified under this subsection, may immediately receive equitable tender of nonpriority mainline bypass mail to a hub point if it meets the requirements of subsections (g)(1) (A), (C), and (D) and
(h)(2)(B) and--
``(i) all qualified 121 mainline passenger carriers discontinue service on that city pair route; or
``(ii) no 121 mainline passenger carrier serves that city pair route.
``(D) A carrier operating under a code share agreement on the date of enactment of the Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002 that received tender of nonpriority mainline bypass mail on a city pair route may count the passenger service provided under the entire code share arrangement on such route if the code share agreement terminates. That carrier shall continue to provide at least 20 percent of the passenger service (as determined for bush passenger carriers in subsection (h)(5)) between the city pair as a 121 mainline passenger carrier while seeking such tender.
``(6)(A) Notwithstanding subsection (g)(1)(B), passenger carriers providing Essential Air Service under a Department of Transportation order issued under subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 49, U.S.C., shall be tendered all nonpriority mail, in addition to all nonpriority bypass mail, by the Postal Service to destination cities served by the Essential Air Service flights consistent with that order unless the Postal Service finds that the Essential Air Service carrier's service does not meet the needs of the Postal Service.
``(B) Service provided under this paragraph, including service provided to points served in conjunction with service being subsidized under the Essential Air Service contract, may not be applied toward any of the minimum eligibility requirements of this section.''.
(5) Selection of carriers to bush points.--Section 5402 of title 39, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(h)(1) Except as provided under paragraph (7), on a given city pair route, the Postal Service shall offer equitable tender of 70 percent of the nonpriority bypass mail on that route to all carriers providing scheduled passenger service in accordance with part 121 or part 135 that--
``(A) meet the requirements of subsection (g)(1);
``(B) provided 20 percent or more of the passenger service
(as calculated in paragraph (5)) between the city pair for the 12 months preceding the date on which the 121 passenger aircraft or the 135 passenger carrier seek tender of nonpriority bypass mail; and
``(C) meet the requirements of paragraph (2).
``(2) To remain eligible for equitable tender under this subsection, the carrier or aircraft shall--
``(A) continue to provide not less than 20 percent of the passenger service on the city pair route for which the carrier is seeking the tender of such nonpriority bypass mail;
``(B)(i) for operations under part 121, operate aircraft type certificated to carry at least 19 passengers;
``(ii) for operations under part 135, operate aircraft type certificated to carry at least 5 passengers; or
``(iii) for operations under part 135 where only a water landing is available, operate aircraft type certificated to carry at least 3 passengers;
``(C) insure all available passenger seats on the city pair route on which the carrier seeks tender of such mail; and
``(D) operate flights under its published schedule.
``(3)(A) Except as provided under subparagraph (E), if a 135 passenger carrier serves a city pair route and meets the requirements of paragraph (1) or (2) when a 121 passenger carrier becomes qualified to be tendered nonpriority bypass mail on such route with a 121 passenger aircraft in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2), the qualifying 135 passenger carriers on that route shall convert to operations with a 121 passenger aircraft within 5 years after the 121 passenger aircraft begins receiving tender on that route in order to remain eligible for equitable tender under paragraph
(1). The 135 carrier shall--
``(i) begin the process of conversion not later than 2 years after the 121 passenger aircraft begins carrying nonpriority bypass mail on that route; and
``(ii) submit a part 121 compliance statement not later than 4 years after the 121 passenger aircraft begins carrying nonpriority bypass mail on that route.
``(B) Completion of conversion under subparagraph (A) shall not be required if all 121 passenger carriers discontinue the carriage of nonpriority bypass mail with 121 passenger aircraft on the city pair route.
``(C) Any qualified carrier operating in the State of Alaska under this section may request a waiver from subparagraph (A). Such a request, at the discretion of the Secretary, may be granted for good cause shown. The requesting party shall state the basis for such a waiver.
``(D) If 6 years and 3 months after the date of enactment of the Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002, a 135 passenger carrier is providing service on a city pair route and a 121 passenger aircraft becomes eligible to receive tender of nonpriority bypass mail on that route, that 135 passenger carrier shall convert to operations under part 121 within 12 months of the 121 passenger carrier being tendered nonpriority bypass mail. The Postal Service shall not continue the tender of nonpriority bypass mail to a 135 passenger carrier that fails to convert to part 121 operations within 12 months after the 121 passenger carrier being tendered such mail under this paragraph.
``(E) Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection, if only 1 passenger carrier or aircraft is qualified to be tendered nonpriority bypass mail as a passenger carrier or aircraft on a city pair route, the Postal Service shall tender 20 percent of the nonpriority bypass mail described under paragraph (1) to the passenger carrier or aircraft providing the next highest level of passenger service on such route.
``(4) Qualification for the tender of mail under this subsection shall not be counted toward the minimum qualifications necessary to be tendered nonpriority bypass mail on any other route.
``(5)(A)(i) In this section, the percent of the passenger service shall be calculated using the data described under clause (ii). To ensure accurate reporting of market share the Postal Service shall compare the resulting percentage to the data collected under subsection (k). Any carrier purposefully falsifying data or significantly misstating market share in an attempt to qualify for tender of nonpriority bypass mail may be subject to penalties described in subsection (o).
``(ii) The Postal Service shall calculate the percent of passenger service provided by a carrier on a city pair route by calculating the lesser of--
``(I) the amount of the passenger excise tax paid by or on behalf of a carrier, as determined by reviewing the collected amount of base fares for passengers actually flown by a carrier from the origination point to the destination point, divided by the value of the total passenger excise taxes, as determined by reviewing the collected amount of base fares paid by or on behalf of all passenger carriers providing service from the hub point to the bush destination point; or
``(II) the amount of half of the passenger excise tax paid by or on behalf of a carrier, as determined by reviewing the collected amount of base fares for passengers actually flown by a carrier on the city pair route, divided by the value of the total passenger excise taxes, as determined by reviewing the collected amount of base fares paid by or on behalf of all passenger carriers providing service between the origination point and the destination point.
``(B) For the purposes of calculating passenger service as described under subparagraph (A), a bush passenger carrier providing intervillage bush passenger service may include the carriage of passengers carried along any point of the route between the route's origination point and the final destination point. Such calculation shall be based only on the carriage of passengers on regularly scheduled flights and only on flights being flown in a direction away from the hub point. Passenger service provided on chartered flights shall not be included in the carrier's calculation of passenger service.
``(6)(A) The Secretary shall establish new bush rates for passenger carriers receiving tender of nonpriority bypass mail under this subsection.
``(B) The Secretary shall establish a bush rate based on data collected under subsection (k) from 121 bush passenger carriers. Such rates shall be paid to all bush passenger carriers operating on city pair routes where a 121 bush passenger carrier is tendered nonpriority bypass mail.
``(C) The Secretary shall establish a bush rate based on data collected under subsection (k) from 135 bush passenger carriers. Such rates shall be paid to all bush passenger carriers operating on city pair routes where no 121 bush passenger carrier is tendered nonpriority bypass mail.
``(D) The Secretary shall establish a bush rate based on data collected under subsection (k) from bush passenger carriers operating aircraft on city pair routes where only water landings are available. Such rates shall be paid to all bush passenger carriers operating on the city pair routes where only water landings are available.
``(7) The percentage rate in paragraph (1) shall be 75 percent 3 years and 3 months after the date of enactment of the Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002.
``(i)(1) Except as provided under paragraph (7), on a given city pair route, the Postal Service shall offer equitable tender of 20 percent of the nonpriority bypass mail on such route to those carriers transporting 25 percent or more of the total nonmail freight (in revenue or weight as determined by the Postal Service), for the 12 months immediately preceding the date on which the freight carrier seeks tender of nonpriority bypass mail.
``(2) To remain eligible for equitable tender under this subsection, a freight carrier shall continue to provide not less than 25 percent of the nonmail freight service on the city pair route for which the carrier is seeking tender of such mail.
``(3) If a new freight carrier enters a market, that freight carrier shall meet the minimum requirements of subsection (g)(1) and shall operate for 12 months on a given city pair route before being eligible for equitable tender of nonpriority bypass mail on that route.
``(4) If no carrier qualifies for tender of nonpriority bypass mail under this subsection, such mail to be divided under this subsection, as described in paragraph (1), shall be tendered to the nonmail freight carrier providing the highest percentage of nonmail freight service (in terms of revenue or weight as determined by the Postal Service as calculated under paragraph (6)) on the city pair route. If no nonmail freight carrier is present on a route to receive tender of nonpriority bypass mail under this paragraph, the nonpriority bypass mail to be divided under paragraph (1) shall be divided equitably among carriers qualified under subsection (h).
``(5) Qualification for the tender of mail under this subsection shall not be counted toward the minimum qualifications necessary to be tendered nonpriority bypass mail on any other route.
``(6)(A) In this subsection, the percent of nonmail freight shall be determined by calculating the lesser of--
``(i) the amount of the freight excise tax paid by or on behalf of a carrier, as determined by reviewing the collected amount of base fares for nonmail freight actually flown by a carrier from the origination point to the destination point, divided by the value of the total nonmail freight excise taxes, as determined by reviewing the collected amount of base fares paid by or on behalf of all nonmail freight carriers providing service from the origination point to the destination point; or
``(ii) the amount of half of the nonmail freight excise tax paid by or on behalf of a carrier, as determined by reviewing the collected amount of base fares for nonmail freight actually flown by a carrier on the city pair route, divided by the value of the total nonmail freight excise taxes, as determined by reviewing the collected amount of base fares paid by or on behalf of all nonmail freight carriers providing service on the city pair route.
``(B) To ensure accurate reporting of market share the Postal Service shall compare the resulting percentage under subparagraph (A) to the percent of nonmail freight carried on a city pair route as calculated from data provided pursuant to subsection (k), by dividing the revenue of, or weight of
(as determined by the Postal Service), nonmail freight earned by or carried by a carrier from the transport of nonmail freight from an origination point to a destination point by the total amount of revenue earned, or the weight of, nonmail freight carried (as determined by the Postal Service) by all carriers from the transport of nonmail freight from the origination point to the destination point. Any carrier purposefully falsifying data or significantly misstating market share in an attempt to qualify for tender of nonpriority bypass mail may be subject to penalties described in subsection (o).
``(7) The percentage rate in paragraph (1) shall be 25 percent 3 years and 3 months after the date of enactment of the Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002.
``(j)(1) Except as provided by paragraph (3), there shall be equitable tender of 10 percent of the nonpriority bypass mail to all carriers on each city pair route meeting the requirements of subsection (g)(1) that do not otherwise qualify for tender under subsection (h) or (i).
``(2) If no carrier qualifies under this subsection with respect to a city pair route, the 10 percent of nonpriority bypass mail allocated under paragraph (1) shall be divided evenly between the pools described under subsections (h) and
(i) to be equitably tendered among qualified carriers under such subsections, such that--
``(A) the amount of nonpriority bypass mail available for tender among qualified carriers under subsection (h) shall be 75 percent; and
``(B) the amount of nonpriority bypass mail available for tender among qualified carriers under subsection (i) shall be 25 percent.
``(3)(A) Except as provided by subparagraph (B), the percentage rate under paragraph (1) shall be 0 percent 3 years and 3 months after the date of enactment of the Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002.
``(B) The percentage rate under paragraph (1) shall remain 10 percent for equitable tender for 6 years and 3 months after the date of enactment of the Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002 for a nonpriority bypass mail carrier on bush routes originating from the main hub of the carrier designated under subparagraph (C), if the carrier seeking the tender of such mail--
``(i) meets the requirements of subsection (g)(1);
``(ii) is not qualified under subsection (h) or (i);
``(iii) operates routes originating from the main hub of the carrier designated under subparagraph (C); and
``(iv) has invested at least $500,000 in a physical hanger facility prior to January 1, 2002 in such a hub city.
``(C) For purposes of subparagraph (B), a carrier may designate only one hub city as its main hub and once such designation is transmitted to the Postal Service it may not be changed. Such selection and transmission must be transmitted to the Postal Service within 6 months of the date of enactment of the Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002. A carrier attempting to receive tender of nonpriority bypass mail under this subsection shall not be eligible for such tender after the carrier becomes qualified for tender of nonpriority bypass mail under subsection (h) or (i) on any route. The purchase of another carrier's hanger facility after such date of enactment shall not be considered sufficient to meet the requirement of subparagraph (B)(iv).
``(k)(1) Not less than every 2 years, in conjunction with annual updates, the Secretary shall review the need for a bush mail rate investigation. The Secretary shall use show cause procedures to speedily and more accurately determine the cost of providing bush mail service. In determining such rates, the Secretary shall not take into account the cost of passenger insurance rates or premiums paid by the passenger carriers or other costs associated with passenger service.
``(2) In order to assure sufficient, reliable, and timely traffic data to meet the requirements of this subsection, the Secretary shall require--
``(A) the monthly submission of the bush carrier's data on T-100 diskettes, or any other suitable form of data collection, as determined by the Secretary; and
``(B) the carriers to retain all books, records, and other source and summary documentation to support their reports and to preserve and maintain such documentation in a manner that readily permits the audit and examination by representatives of the Postal Service or the Secretary.
``(3) Documentation under paragraph (2) shall be retained for 7 years or until the Secretary indicates that the records may be destroyed. Copies of flight logs for aircraft sold or disposed of shall be retained.
``(4) Carriers qualified to be tendered nonpriority bypass mail shall submit to the Secretary the number and type of aircraft in the carrier's fleet, the level of passenger insurance covering its fleet, and the name of the insurance company providing such coverage.
``(5) Not later than 30 days after the last day of each calendar month, carriers shall report to the Secretary the excise taxes paid by city pair to the Department of the Treasury and the weight of and revenue earned by the carriage of nonmail freight. Final compiled data shall be made available to carriers providing service in the hub.
``(l) No qualified carrier may be tendered nonpriority bypass mail under subsections (h) and (i) simultaneously on a route unless no other carrier is tendered mail under either subsection.
``(m)(1) Carriers qualifying for tender under subsections
(h) and (i) simultaneously shall be tendered nonpriority bypass mail under subsection (h).
``(2) A carrier shall be tendered nonpriority bypass mail under subsection (i) if that carrier--
``(A) was qualified under both subsections (h) and (i) simultaneously; and
``(B) becomes unqualified under subsection (h) but remains qualified under subsection (i).
``(n)(1) A carrier operation resulting from a merger or acquisition between any 2 carriers operating between points in Alaska shall have the passenger and nonmail freight of all such merged or acquired carriers on the applicable route counted toward meeting the resulting carrier's minimum requirements to receive equitable tender of nonpriority bypass mail on such route for the 12-month period following the merger or acquisition.
``(2) After the 12-month period described under paragraph
(1), the carrier resulting from the merger or acquisition shall demonstrate that the carrier meets the minimum passenger or nonmail freight carriage requirements of this section to continue receiving tender of such mail.
``(o) In addition to any penalties applied to a carrier by the Federal Aviation Administration or the Secretary, any carrier that significantly misstates passenger or nonmail freight data required to be reported under this section on any route, in an attempt to qualify for tender of nonpriority bypass mail, shall receive--
``(1) a 1-month suspension of tender of nonpriority bypass mail on the route where the data was misstated for the first offense;
``(2) a 6-month suspension of tender of nonpriority bypass mail on the route where the data was misstated for the second offense;
``(3) a 1-year suspension of tender of all nonpriority bypass mail in the entire State of Alaska for the third offense in the State; and
``(4) a permanent suspension of tender of all nonpriority bypass mail in the entire State of Alaska for the fourth offense in the State.
``(p)(1) The Postal Service or the Secretary, in carrying out subsection (g)(2), (h), or (i), may deny equitable tender to an otherwise qualified carrier who does not operate under this section in good faith or under the intent of the `Rural Service Improvement Act of 2002'.
``(2) The Postal Service or the Secretary may waive any provision of subsection (h) or (i), if the carrier provides substantial passenger or nonmail freight service on the route where the carrier seeks tender of nonpriority mail and nonpriority bypass mail.
``(3) To ensure adequate competition among passenger and nonmail freight carriers on a mainline route the Postal Service or the Secretary may waive the requirements of subsection (g) (1)(D), (2)(E), (4), or (5), or any provision of subsection (h), if--
``(A) a 121 bush passenger carrier seeks tender of nonpriority mail or nonpriority bypass mail on a mainline route not served by a 121 mainline passenger carrier and the 121 bush passenger carrier provides substantial passenger or nonmail freight service on the route; or
``(B) a carrier meeting the requirements of subsection
(g)(1)(D)(ii) seeks tender of nonpriority bypass mail and provides substantial nonmail freight service on the city pair route.
Waivers granted under this paragraph shall cease to be valid once a qualified mainline carrier begins providing service and seeks tender of nonpriority bypass mail in accordance with this section on the city pair route. The receipt of waivers and subsequent operation of service on a city pair route under this subsection shall not be counted toward meeting the requirements of any part of this section for any other city pair route. In granting waivers under this paragraph and offering equitable tender of nonpriority bypass mail the Postal Service or the Secretary shall give preference to passenger service needs over nonmail freight needs on a city pair route.
``(4) In granting waivers for or denying tender to carriers under this subsection, the Postal Service or the Secretary shall consider in the following order of importance--
``(A) the passenger needs of the destination to be served
(including amount and level);
``(B) the nonmail freight needs of the destination to be served;
``(C) the amount of nonpriority bypass mail service already available to the destination;
``(D) the mail needs of the destination to be served;
``(E) the savings to the Postal Service in terms of payments made to carriers;
``(F) the amount or level of passenger service already available to the destination; and
``(G) the amount of nonmail freight service already available to the destination.
``(q) The Secretary shall make a regular review of carriers receiving, or attempting to qualify to receive, equitable tender of nonpriority bypass mail. If the Secretary suspends or revokes an operating certificate, the Secretary shall notify the Postal Service. Upon such notification, the Postal Service shall cease tender of mail to such carrier until the Secretary certifies the carrier is operating in a safe manner. Upon such receipt, the carrier shall demonstrate that it otherwise meets the minimum carriage requirements of this section before being tendered mail under this section.
``(r) The Postal Service shall have the authority to tender nonpriority bypass mail to any carrier that meets the requirements of subsection (g)(1) on any route on an emergency basis. Such emergency tender shall cease when a carrier qualifies for tender on such route under the terms of this section.
``(s) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and except for written contracts authorized under subsections
(b), (c) and (d) of this section, tender by the Postal Service of any category of mail to a carrier for transportation between any two points within the State of Alaska shall not give rise to any contract between the Postal Service and a carrier, nor shall any such carrier acquire any right in continued or future tender of such mail by virtue of past or present receipt of such mail. This subsection shall apply to any case commenced before, on, or after the date of enactment of this subsection.''.
(d) Actions of Air Carriers To Qualify.--Beginning 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, if the Secretary determines, based on the Secretary's findings and recommendations of the Postal Service, that an air carrier being tendered nonpriority bush bypass mail is not taking actions to attempt to qualify as a bush passenger or nonmail freight carrier under section 5402 of title 39, United States Code (as amended by this title), the Postal Service shall immediately cease tender of all nonpriority bypass mail to such carrier.
(e) Technical and Conforming Amendments.--
(1) Title 39.--Section 5402 of title 39, United States Code, is amended--
(A) in subsections (b) through (e) (as redesignated by this title) and subsection (f) by striking ``Secretary of Transportation'' each place it appears and inserting
