Climate Change: Defining 'Adaptation' and 'Resilience', with Implications for Policy [May 11, 2021]
From the Document: "Congress has increased its attention to risks that climate variability and change pose to communities, the economy, and other dimensions of society. Legislative provisions related to climate change have referenced 'resilience' or 'adaptation'. Federal, state, and local agencies, and other stakeholders, often intend different meanings when they refer to 'resilience' and 'climate change adaptation'. This product presents selected definitions in use for 'resilience' and 'climate change adaptation', and describes trends and evolutions in use related to climate change. To assist Congress as it considers proposals to enhance adaptation and resilience, and exercises its appropriations and oversight functions, this product seeks to clarify and identify some of the choices implied by differences among definitions. Terms used and definitions provided in legislation, regulation, and guidance may shape how executive agencies or the courts interpret congressional direction and its implementation. Congress may wish to consider whether to clarify terms in legislation or to give discretion to the executive branch. Statutory language may be broad, precise, or ambiguous."

Cuba: U.S. Restrictions on Travel and Remittances [Updated May 11, 2021]
From the Summary: "Restrictions on travel and remittances to Cuba have constituted a key and often contentious component in U.S. efforts to isolate Cuba's communist government since the early 1960s. Such restrictions are largely part of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR), the overall embargo regulations administered by the Department of the Treasury's Office ofForeign Assets Control (OFAC), as well as certain parts of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), administered by the Department of Commerce. Various Administrations have eased and tightened these restrictions over the years as U.S. policy toward Cuba has changed. [...] The Biden Administration thus far has not taken any action regarding U.S. restrictions on travel and remittances to Cuba, although the Administration maintains it is committed to reviewing policy decisions made in the prior Administration."

FY2021 Refugee Ceiling Increase [May 11, 2021]
From the Document: "On May 3, 2021, President Joe Biden issued an emergency presidential determination (PD) [hyperlink] to raise the FY2021 refugee ceiling to 62,500. It followed an earlier emergency PD on FY2021 refugee admissions signed by President Biden on April 16, 2021. The first emergency PD [hyperlink] revised the allocations in the original FY2021 PD [hyperlink] issued by President Donald Trump, but left the refugee ceiling unchanged at 15,000. The refugee provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA §207 [hyperlink]) authorize the President, after consulting with members of the House Judiciary Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee, to issue a PD before the beginning of the fiscal year. In the PD, the President sets the refugee ceiling for the year and allocates that ceiling among refugees of special humanitarian concern to the United States. INA Section 207(b) further allows the President, after congressional consultation, to issue an emergency determination in the middle of a fiscal year in the event of 'an unforeseen refugee emergency situation.'"

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 391, Global Health Security Act of 2021
This is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on March 25, 2021. From the Document: "H.R. 391 would encourage the Administration to participate in and make financial contributions to programs that help public health systems detect and respond to infectious diseases. The bill would require the Administration to support the establishment of a new public-private Fund for Global Health Security and Pandemic Preparedness, which would help other countries implement health security strategies and respond to public health emergencies around the world. Although the bill would authorize the United States to contribute to the fund, it does not specify how much, and it would limit U.S. contributions to 33 percent of the total from all sources. The bill also would codify the roles and responsibilities of a current interagency review council to advance the goals of the Global Health Security Agenda, of which the United States is a member. Because the council already exists, CBO estimates that implementing those requirements would not increase costs."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2093, Veterans and Family Information Act
This is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs on May 4, 2021. From the Document: "H.R. 2093 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide versions of all departmental fact sheets on its website in English, Spanish, Tagalog, and the next 10 most commonly spoken languages in the United States. The bill also would require VA to report to the Congress on how VA communicates with veterans whose proficiency in English is limited and how veterans obtain the department's fact sheets, other than on its websites. [...] Based on the market rate of translation services and the number of fact sheets that VA would be required to translate under the bill, CBO estimates implementing the bill's requirements would cost less than $500,000 over the 2021-2026 period; any spending would be subject to availability of appropriated funds."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 958, Protecting Moms Who Served Act
This is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Cost Estimate as ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs on May 4, 2021. From the Document: "H.R. 958 would direct the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide coordinators to support veterans through every stage of their pregnancies. The bill also would require VA to deliver training on the unique needs of pregnant and postpartum veterans to maternity-care professionals in medical facilities that are not operated by the department. Currently, VA provides coordinators through its Maternity Care Coordination Program, and it also trains maternity-care workers in nondepartmental facilities through the Women's Health Education team. H.R. 958 would authorize the appropriation of $15 million for 2022 for those purposes. CBO estimates that those activities included in the bill would cost $15 million over the 2021-2026 period. Assuming appropriation of the specified amount, CBO estimates that VA spending would increase by that amount."

[House of Representatives Bill] 1500 would require the U.S. Agency for International Development to report to the Congress on how the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic and related school closures have affected the agency's programs to promote basic education in developing countries. On the basis of information about similar reports, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 2021-2026 period. Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."

Social Support Interventions for Healthcare Workers
From the Executive Summary: "Healthcare occupations are inherently demanding and stressful, exposing healthcare workers to many occupational, psychosocial, and health-related stressors. The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has worsened the impact of these stressors on health professionals' mental health, while serving in constrained healthcare systems. As the havoc brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic diminishes, it would be essential to provide healthcare workers a safe and supportive environment. [...] This report evaluates the evidence about social support interventions in improving symptoms of anxiety and depression among healthcare professionals, using a systematic approach to facilitate review of existing evidence. We considered all types of social support interventions that offered structural (increase in size of social network), functional (providing emotional, material, or informational support) or enacted support (reassurance and advice) to healthcare professionals."

SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance System in Canada: Longitudinal Trend Analysis
From the Introduction: "On January 25, 2020, Canada saw its first case of SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2] after a man returned to Toronto from Wuhan, China. Cases in Ontario rose a month later. Quebec soon became Canada's first epicenter, likely due to southern travel into the United States during its winter school break, which occurred two weeks prior to lockdown measures implemented in mid-March. Figure 1 shows the timeline of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] in Canada. Fast forward one year later, Canada has had a resurgence of COVID-19 infections and has reimplemented public health guidelines to control the COVID-19 epidemic. As of February 22, 2021, Ontario and Quebec account for 68% of confirmed cases and 79% of deaths in Canada. Nunavut, with a population of 38,780, remained the only geographical jurisdiction in North America without a single confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 until early November 2020, when it began to see cases accelerate quickly."

COVID-19 State of Vaccine Confidence Insights Report 7 (April 13-26, 2021)
From the Summary: "Despite expanded eligibility for vaccination, vaccine supply has begun to exceed demand and vaccination rates are trending down in many states and jurisdictions across the country. States and jurisdictions are changing tactics to expand access and increase vaccine uptake; however, communities of color continue to face challenges accessing COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] vaccines. Announcements by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna about the likely need for a booster shot caused some to express their belief this is a business decision rather than one that is in the best interest of public health. Lastly, parents are confused about the benefits of vaccination for children. Misinformation is increasing as the first Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for COVID-19 vaccination of children aged 12-15 years nears."

'Google v. Oracle': Supreme Court Rules for Google in Landmark Software Copyright Case [May 10, 2021]
From the Document: "On April 5, 2021, the Supreme Court issued its highly anticipated decision [hyperlink] in 'Google LLC v. Oracle America Inc.' [hyperlink], the culmination of a decade-long software copyright dispute between the two tech giants. Resolving what observers have hailed [hyperlink] as the 'copyright case of the century,' the Court held [hyperlink] in Google's favor, finding that Google's copying of the 'declaring code' [hyperlink] of the Java SE [Standard Edition] application programming interface (API) was a fair use and thus did not infringe Oracle's copyright in Java. As a formal matter, the Court's holding was relatively narrow, concluding that Google's copying of certain code from the Java API--what the Court characterized [hyperlink] as 'reimplementation of a user interface'--was a fair use under the 'case-by-case' [hyperlink] balancing of the statutory fair use factors [hyperlink]. As a practical matter, however, the Court's decision is likely to have major significance [hyperlink] for the software industry [hyperlink], and may also potentially affect fair use for other copyrightable subject matter--such as art, music, and television. This Sidebar reviews the basics of copyright in software; the dispute in 'Google v. Oracle'; the Court's decision; and potential effects for computer technology and other copyright-intensive industries. It then briefly highlights some considerations for Congress."

Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC): Temporary Expansion for 2021 Under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA; P.l. 117-2) [Updated May 10, 2021]
From the Document: "The child and dependent care tax credit (CDCTC) can help to partially offset working families' child care expenses. The American Rescue Plan Act (P.L. 117-2; ARPA) provided a temporary expansion of the CDCTC for 2021. This Insight summarizes the temporary change, highlighting the credit amount for 2021 before and after the temporary expansion. The Biden Administration has proposed [hyperlink] making the ARPA expansion of the CDCTC permanent. Beyond the CDCTC, working families may also be eligible to receive tax-free employer-sponsored child care benefits, often in the form of a flexible spending arrangement/account (FSA). ARPA increased the maximum amount of tax-free child care benefits employers could provide from $5,000 to $10,500 for 2021 [hyperlink]. This change is not discussed further in this Insight."

Family Office Regulation in Light of the Archegos Fallout [May 10, 2021]
From the Document: "In late March 2021, Archegos Capital Management and its investment bank financiers started liquidating huge stock positions, causing significant turbulence in capital markets. The stock sell-offs led to pronounced declines among a number of stocks and left various investment banks with large losses. The developments sparked an array of responses from financial regulators. Some scrutiny has turned to Archegos's regulatory status as a 'family office'--a lightly regulated entity with numbers in the thousands."

Islamic State [Updated May 10, 2021]
From the Document: "The Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIL, ISIS, or the Arabic acronym 'Da'esh') is a transnational Sunni Islamist insurgent and terrorist group. At its 2015 height, the group controlled large areas of Iraq and Syria, including some cities, from which it launched attacks in the region and beyond. While the group no longer controls territory outright in Syria and Iraq, U.S. military officials warn that it has maintained a low-level insurgency and has worked to expand its global presence via a burgeoning number of affiliate groups. The 2021 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) warned that the Islamic State and sometimes rival Al Qaeda 'have shown great resiliency' and together remain the 'the greatest Sunni terrorist threats to U.S. interests overseas.'"

Navy Next-Generation Attack Submarine (SSN[X]) Program: Background and Issues for Congress [May 10, 2021]
From the Introduction and Issue for Congress: "The Navy wants to begin procuring a new class of nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN), called the Next-Generation Attack Submarine or SSN(X), in FY2031. The SSN(X) would be the successor to the Virginia-class SSN design, which the Navy has been procuring since FY1998. Congress approved $1 million in initial research and development funding for the SSN(X) program in FY2021. An issue for Congress for FY2022 and subsequent years is whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's funding requests and acquisition strategy for the SSN(X) program. Congress's decisions on this issue could affect Navy capabilities and funding requirements and the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base."

Priority Open Recommendations: Department of Veterans Affairs, May 10, 2021
From the Document: "[T]he purpose of this letter is to provide an update on the overall status of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) implementation of GAO's [Government Accountability Office] recommendations and to call your personal attention to areas where open recommendations should be given high priority. In November 2020, we reported that on a government-wide basis, 77 percent of our recommendations made 4 years ago had been implemented. As of May 2021, VA's implementation rate was 73 percent for these recommendations and VA had a total of 233 recommendations that had not been implemented. Implementing these recommendations could significantly improve agency operations. Since our April 2020 letter identifying 33 priority recommendations, VA has implemented 13 of them. In doing so, VA improved care coordination, as well as its ability to ensure that veterans receive evidence-based mental health treatment. VA also took steps to collect complete and reliable information about employee misconduct and disciplinary actions, among other things. We ask for your attention to the remaining 20 priority recommendations. We are also adding 8 new recommendations, including recommendations related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in state veterans homes, community care, succession planning, sexual harassment, on-campus veteran suicides, and supply chain management. This brings the total number of priority recommendations to 28."

Global Economic Effects of COVID-19 [Updated May 7, 2021]
From the Document: "In the year since the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] outbreak was first diagnosed, it has spread to over 200 countries and all U.S. states. The pandemic has negatively affected global economic growth beyond anything experienced in nearly a century. [...] The economic fallout from the pandemic could risk continued labor dislocations as a result of lingering high levels of unemployment not experienced since the Great Depression of the 1930s and high levels of debt among developing economies. Job losses have been concentrated more intensively in the services sector where workers have been unable to work offsite. The human costs in terms of lives lost will permanently affect global economic growth in addition to the cost of rising levels of poverty, lives upended, careers derailed, and increased social unrest. Some estimates indicate that 95 million people may have entered into extreme poverty in 2020 with 80 million more undernourished compared to pre-pandemic levels. In addition, some estimates indicate that global trade could fall by an annual amount of 9.0% or slightly less in 2020 as a result of the global economic downturn, exacting an especially heavy economic toll on trade-dependent developing and emerging economies. The full economic impact of the pandemic likely will remain unclear until the negative health effects peak. This report provides an overview of the global economic costs to date and the response by governments and international institutions to address these effects."
