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).

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.

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.
