Estimated effects on Chapter 1, Education Consolidation and Improvement Act,...: Basic grant allocations of applying a two percent "absorption factor"
Date
1987
Summary
In its proposed amendments to the Federal program for the education of disadvantaged children, under chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act, the Reagan Administration has recommended that a 2 percent "absorption factor" be applied to the allocation of funds. Thus, children counted for the distribution of basic grants would be considered only to the extent that they exceed 2 percent of a county's total school-age population. This report provides an analysis of the effects of this proposed formula change.

Estimated impact aid payments under section 3 of P.L. 81-874
Title
Estimated impact aid payments under section 3 of P.L. 81-874: Comparison of the estimated FY 1988 payments under the Administration's FY 1988 budget proposal with the estimated FY 1987 payments under current law (F.L. 99-500)
Date
1987
Summary
Section 3 of P.L. 81-874 authorizes financial assistance for school maintenance and operations to school districts in areas where enrollments and local revenues are adversely affected by Federal activities. The adverse Federal effects may be that Federal ownership of property within the school district reduces local tax income for school purposes, or that a Federal activity causes an influx of persons into the community, resulting in an increased number of children to be educated. This report compares the estimated FY 1988 section 3 payments under the Administration's FY 1988 budget proposal with the estimated FY 1987 section 3 payments under current law (P.L. 99-500).
Ethylene dibromide
Title
Ethylene dibromide: Regulatory background
Date
1984
Summary
Since the Fall of 1983, there has been heightened public concern about the possible health effects of ethylene dibromide (EDB), a chemical which has caused cancer in laboratory animals. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the pesticidal use of EDB for oil fumigation in September 1983 after discovering that EDB could migrate into groundwater supplies. In December 1983 that State of Florida stopped the sale of food products which contained any detectable levels of EDB, since no Federally approved safe levels had ever been established. In February and March of 1984 EPA banned most other pesticidal uses of EDB, and recommended certain residue levels as a guide to state actions. Since that time, some of the controversy has quieted. This paper addresses the background of EDB, its uses, and EPA's regulatory proposals and actions.

Effect of the General Education Procedures Act contingent extension provision upon current Higher Education Act programs
Title
Effect of the General Education Procedures Act contingent extension provision upon current Higher Education Act programs
Date
1986
Summary
This report provides a legal analysis of certain questions regarding the effect of the contingent extension provision of the General Education Procedures Act (GEPA), 20 U.S.C $ 1226a, upon current Higher Education Act programs. The specific question which has been raised concerns the application of the two year authorization extension portion of the GEPA contingent extension provision to those Higher Education Act programs which are forward-funded and whose authorization of appropriations expired at the end of the fiscal year 1985. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, 20 U.S.C. $ 1001 et seq., sets forth various programs of financial assistance to institution of higher education and to students of such institutions. Funding for such programs is accomplished through the appropriations process in several ways. Some Higher Education Act programs, such as Pell Grant, 20 U.S.C. $ 1070(a), and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, 20 U.S.C. $ 1070b et seq., are forward-funded. Other Higher Education Act programs, such as the Endowment Grants program, 20 U.S.C. $ 1065a, are current year funded. And, the Endowment Guaranteed Student Loan Program, 20 U.S.C. $ 1071 et seq., is an example of a Higher Education Act program which is funded on a "no year" basis, i.e., appropriated funds are available in the year of appropriation and remain available until expended.

Date

Summary
The House-passed tax reform bill (H.R. 3838) would make three changes in Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs): (1) correct an anomaly in the "spousal IRA," (2) coordinate certain "elective deferrals" to 401(k) plans and 403(b) annuities with the IRA deduction limits, and (3) increase the additional income tax on "early withdrawals" from 10 to 15 percent. Although the Administration an the House Committee on Ways and Means had common goals in developing changes to IRAs, their proposals differ. This paper discusses and analyzes these differences.
