H. Rept. 117-442: Assault Weapons Ban of 2022, Report Together with Minority Views, to Accompany H.R. 1808, July 26, 2022
From the Purpose and Summary: "On March 11, 2021, Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) introduced H.R. 1808, the 'Assault Weapons Ban of 2021,' with 187 original cosponsors. This legislation prohibits the sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices (also known as 'large capacity magazines'). Currently, there are no federal laws that restrict the sale of semiautomatic assault weapons or large capacity ammunition feeding devices. Reducing the prevalence of these weapons and devices will reduce the lives lost to gun violence and make our communities safer. Semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices 'result in more shots fired, more persons hit, and more wounds inflicted per victim than do attacks with other firearms.'"

H. Rept. 117-438: Safe Connections Act of 2022, to Accompany H.R. 7132, July 26, 2022
From the Purpose and Summary: "H.R. 7132, the ''Safe Connections Act of 2022,'' addresses digital abuse that can happen when an abuser shares a mobile phone service contract with their victim, giving the abuser access to sensitive information about the victim, including the phone numbers they use to communicate with and in some cases, their location. The legislation amends the Communications Act of 1934 (Communications Act) by requiring mobile service providers, after receiving a line separation request from a survivor of domestic violence, human trafficking, or other related crimes for a mobile service contract shared with an abuser, to separate the line of the survivor (and the line of any individual in the care of the survivor) from the shared mobile service contract or separate the line of the abuser from the shared mobile service contract. The legislation also directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue rules, within 18 months of the Act's enactment, implementing line separation requests from survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and other related crimes and to establish emergency communications support for these survivors suffering financial hardship for up to six months."

H. Rept. 117-439: Reporting Attacks from Nations Selected for Oversight and Monitoring Web Attacks and Ransomware from Enemies Act, Report to Accompany H.R. 4551, July 26, 2022
From the Purpose and Summary: "H.R. 4551, the 'Reporting Attacks from Nations Selected for Oversight and Monitoring Web Attacks and Ransomware from Enemies (RANSOMWARE) Act,' amends the U.S. SAFE WEB Act of 2006 (SAFE WEB Act) to require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to report to Congress, one year after the date of enactment and every two years after, on cross-border complaints received by the FTC, numbers and details of such complaints that were acted upon and not acted upon, and how it used the authorities granted by the SAFE WEB Act in response. The bill amends the existing reporting requirements to require the FTC to, in addition, address cross-border incidents that involve ransomware and other cyberattacks from foreign actors. It also requires the FTC to report on cross-border complaints received that involve ransomware or other cyber-related attacks committed by Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran or individuals or companies that are located in or have ties to those countries."

China's Evolving Data Governance Regime
From the Document: "With China's ambitions to become a leader in the digital economy by 2025 and a 'cyber superpower,' data governance has been a top priority for Chinese policymakers. Beijing sees that sustaining economic growth and leading in global innovation requires expanding and protecting China's digital capabilities, both for digitally-enabled trade in goods and provision of digital services, which account for an increasing proportion of overall economic activity. In addition to the economic benefits of a secure digital economy, maintaining 'cybersovereignty' is important for Chinese policymakers in carving out new legal and regulatory systems. Contrary to the U.S. vision of a free and open internet, upholding cybersovereignty means that cyberspace, data, and networks are regarded as sovereign territory subject to local laws of individual countries. This concept is critical to the Chinese Communist Party's(CCP) strategy to maintain information control, political stability, and limitations on expression of popular dissent."

Navy Large Unmanned Surface and Undersea Vehicles: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated July 26, 2022]
From the Introduction: "This report provides background information and potential issues for Congress for three types of large unmanned vehicles (UVs) that the Navy wants to develop and procure in FY2023 and beyond: [1] Large Unmanned Surface Vehicles (LUSVs); [2] Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicles (MUSVs); and [3] Extra-large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs). The Navy wants to acquire these large UVs as part of an effort to shift the Navy to a more distributed fleet architecture, meaning a mix of ships that spreads the Navy's capabilities over an increased number of platforms and avoids concentrating a large portion of the fleet's overall capability into a relatively small number of high-value ships (i.e., a mix of ships that avoids 'putting too many eggs into one basket'). The Navy's proposed FY2023 budget requests $549.3 million in research and development funding for these large UVs and LUSV/MUSV-enabling technologies, and $60.7 million in additional funding for core technologies for XLUUV and other Navy UUVs."

U.S. Forest Carbon Data: In Brief [Updated July 26, 2022]
From the Introduction: "The 'flux'--or flow--of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is the dominant contributor to the observed warming trend in global temperatures. Trees, however, store ('sequester') CO2 from the atmosphere, accruing significant stores of carbon over time. Trees also release some CO2 back into the atmosphere (e.g., emissions). This process is known as the forest 'carbon cycle'. The forest carbon cycle starts with the sequestration and accumulation of atmospheric CO2 due to tree growth. The accumulated carbon is stored in five different pools in the forest ecosystem: aboveground biomass (e.g., leaves, trunks, and limbs), belowground biomass (e.g., roots), deadwood, litter (e.g., fallen leaves and stems), and soils. As trees or parts of trees die, the carbon cycles through those different pools, specifically from the living biomass pools to the deadwood, litter, and soil pools. The length of time carbon stays in each pool varies considerably, ranging from months (litter) to millennia (soil). The cycle continues as carbon flows out of the forest ecosystem and returns to the atmosphere through several processes, including respiration, combustion (e.g., fire), and decomposition."

DHS Has Controls to Safeguard Watchlist Data
From the Document: "Based on our audit work, we determined the Department of Homeland Security has an approach to safeguard and share terrorist screening data. We confirmed that DHS' policies and procedures comply with Federal standards for safeguarding sensitive data, including terrorist watchlist records that are used, stored, and shared by the Department. We also determined that on July 19, 2021, after learning of an alleged online exposure of more than 1.9 million Federal terrorist watchlist records, DHS responded appropriately by immediately notifying the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Screening Center, the owner of terrorist watchlist records. We confirmed with DHS officials that DHS was not involved in the alleged incident."

Navy Columbia (SSBN-826) Class Ballistic Missile Submarine Program: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Introduction: "This report provides background information and potential oversight issues for Congress on the Navy's Columbia (SSBN-826) class program, a program to design and build a class of 12 new ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) to replace the Navy's current force of 14 aging Ohio-class SSBNs. Since 2013, the Navy has consistently identified the Columbia-class program as the Navy's top priority program. The Navy procured the first Columbia-class boat in FY2021 and wants to procure the second boat in the class in FY2024. The Navy's proposed FY2023 budget requests $5,857.8 million (i.e., about $5.9 billion) in procurement and advance procurement (AP) funding for the program. The program poses a number of funding and oversight issues for Congress. Decisions that Congress makes on the Columbia-class program could substantially affect U.S. military capabilities and funding requirements, and the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base."

Multiyear Procurement (MYP) and Block Buy Contracting in Defense Acquisition: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Summary: "Multiyear procurement (MYP) and block buy contracting (BBC) are special contracting mechanisms that Congress permits the Department of Defense (DOD) to use for a limited number of defense acquisition programs. Compared to the standard or default approach of annual contracting, MYP and BBC have the potential for reducing weapon procurement costs by a few or several percent. Under annual contracting, DOD uses one or more contracts for each year's worth of procurement of a given kind of item. Under MYP, DOD instead uses a single contract for two to five years' worth of procurement of a given kind of item without having to exercise a contract option for each year after the first year. DOD needs congressional approval for each use of MYP. There is a permanent statute governing MYP contracting--10 U.S.C. 3501 (the text of which was previously codified at 10 U.S.C. 2306b). Under this statute, a program must meet several criteria to qualify for MYP."

Taiwan: Political and Security Issues [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Document: "Taiwan, which officially calls itself the Republic of China (ROC), is a democracy of 23 million people located across the Taiwan Strait from mainland China. Its government claims 'effective jurisdiction' over the island of Taiwan, the archipelagos of Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu, and other outlying islands. Taiwan also claims disputed geographic features in the East and South China Seas. The People's Republic of China's (PRC's or China's) stated determination to unify with Taiwan at an unspecified future date, combined with U.S. security commitments related to Taiwan, make Taiwan the hotspot that could most plausibly draw the United States and China into armed conflict. U.S.-Taiwan relations have been unofficial since January 1, 1979, when the United States established diplomatic relations with the PRC and broke them with self-ruled Taiwan, over which the PRC claims sovereignty."

Mexico: Addressing Missing and Disappeared Persons [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Document: "Mexico faces significant human rights concerns amidst record violence related to drug trafficking and organized crime. As of July 2022, the Mexican government has registered more than 101,300 cases of missing or disappeared persons. Some 32.2% of cases were reported since President Andrés Manuel López Obrador took office in December 2018. Some cases, referred to as 'enforced disappearances,' have involved the complicity of state security forces. Congress has sought to address the general human rights situation in Mexico, as well as the specific issue of enforced disappearances, through foreign assistance and conditions on that assistance, hearings, and letters to Mexican and U.S. Administrations."

'Quad': Security Cooperation Among the United States, Japan, India, and Australia [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Document: "The Biden Administration has boosted the profile of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, aka 'the Quad,' as a centerpiece of its Indo-Pacific strategy aimed at strengthening the United States' position in and commitment to the region. The four-country coalition, comprised of the United States, Japan, India, and Australia, claims a common platform of protecting freedom of navigation and promoting democratic values in the region. The first leader-level summit, held virtually in March 2021, produced the first-ever joint leaders' statement. A September 2021 Quad Leaders' Summit produced an expanded statement outlining four broad areas of cooperation: vaccine production and distribution; climate change mitigation efforts and clean energy development; the promotion of transparency and high-standard governance in the field of critical and emerging technologies; and the development of a regional infrastructure partnership. Working groups in these areas are pushing forward with efforts to flesh out these priorities."

U.S.-Singapore Relations [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Overview: "Though geographically only about three times the size of Washington, DC, and with a population of about 5.9 million, the city-state of Singapore exerts economic and diplomatic influence on par with much larger countries. Its stable government, strong economic performance, educated citizenry, and strategic position along key shipping lanes afford it a large role in regional and global affairs. For the United States, Singapore has been a partner in both trade and security initiatives and an advocate of a strong U.S. role in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, Singapore's leaders have aimed to maintain close relations with China, and to maintain positive ties with all regional powers. The United States and Singapore have extensive trade and investment ties. The U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (FTA), which went into effect in January 2004, was the first U.S. bilateral FTA with an Asian country. In 2019, U.S.- Singapore trade totaled about $91.6 billion, and Singapore was the 14th largest goods export market for the United States."

State Laws Restricting or Prohibiting Abortion [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Document: "The Supreme Court's decision in 'Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization' [hyperlink] overruled 'Roe v. Wade' [hyperlink], providing states with greater discretion [hyperlink] to restrict abortion access, including by limiting abortion prior to fetal viability. This Sidebar provides an overview of existing or recently passed state laws prohibiting or limiting abortion prior to 24 weeks' gestational age, which for many years was widely considered [hyperlink] the point of viability, though medical advancements may have moved that point earlier. The Sidebar also identifies 'trigger laws' that generally prohibit abortion that were set to go into effect, either automatically or following action by a state official, if the Supreme Court ever overturned 'Roe v. Wade.' This Sidebar does not address any exceptions to these restrictions, such as in the case of a medical emergency, or restrictions to specific methods of abortion, such as medication abortion.

Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Introduction: "This report presents background information and potential oversight issues for Congress on the Navy's Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) and Zumwalt (DDG-1000) class destroyer programs. The Navy began procuring DDG-51s, also known as Aegis destroyers, in FY1985, and a total of 89 have been procured through FY2022, including two in FY2022. The Navy procured three DDG-1000 class destroyers in FY2007-FY2009 and plans no further procurement of DDG-1000s. The Navy's FY2023 budget requests the procurement of two DDG-51s in FY2023. The Navy's FY2023 budget submission also requests and multiyear procurement (MYP) contract for DDG51s scheduled for procurement in FY2023-FY2027. Potential issues for Congress for the DDG-51 program in FY2023 include the number of firm ships to include in an MYP contract for the DDG-51 program for FY2023-FY2027, the Navy's future force-level goal for large surface combatants (or LSCs, meaning cruisers and destroyers), and how the Navy proposes to transition several years from now from procurement of DDG-51s to procurement of a successor destroyer design now in development called the DDG(X). Decisions that Congress makes on these issues could substantially affect Navy capabilities and funding requirements, and the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base."

Iran and Nuclear Weapons Production [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Document: "Iran's nuclear program has generated widespread concern that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons. According to U.S. intelligence assessments, Tehran has the capacity to produce nuclear weapons at some point, but has halted its nuclear weapons program and has not mastered all of the necessary technologies for building such weapons. (For additional information, see CRS Report RL34544, 'Iran's Nuclear Program: Status', by Paul K. Kerr.) Since the early 2000s, Tehran's construction of gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facilities has been the main source of proliferation concern. Gas centrifuges enrich uranium by spinning uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas at high speeds to increase the concentration of the uranium235 (u-235) isotope. Such centrifuges can produce both low-enriched uranium (LEU), which can be used in nuclear power reactors, and highly enriched uranium (HEU), which is one of the two types of fissile material used in nuclear weapons. Tehran asserts that its enrichment program is meant to produce fuel for peaceful nuclear reactors."

Navy Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) Program: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated July 25, 2022]
From the Introduction: "This report provides background information and issues for Congress on the Navy's new Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) program, which envisions procuring a class of up to 35 new amphibious ships to support the Marine Corps, particularly in implementing a new Marine Corps operational concept called Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). The Navy had previously envisioned procuring the first LAW in FY2023, but the Navy's FY2023 budget submission defers the procurement of the first LAW to FY2025. The Navy's proposed FY2023 budget requests $12.2 million in research and development funding for the program. The LAW program poses a number of potential oversight matters for Congress. The issue for Congress is whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's annual funding requests and envisioned acquisition strategy for the program. Congress's decisions regarding the program could affect Navy and Marine Corps capabilities and funding requirements and the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base."
