An Act to amend the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees, as amended, and for other purposes.

United States · United States Congress · 6 May 1976

Title I: Retirement Financing - Amends the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for certain Employees to define terms for purposes of this Act. States that any statute which authorizes liberalized benefits payable from the fund created pursuant to such Act extension of coverage of such Act or increases in salaries, is deemed to authorize appropriations to fund the unfunded liability created by that Act. Authorizes appropriations for purposes of such Act. Title II: Retirement Act Amendments - Makes children for whom a petition for adoption was filed by a participant in such retirement program and who was later adopted by the surviving spouse after the participant's death eligible to receive benefits under such program. Makes the surviving spouse of participants who were married after retirement eligible for survivor's benefits under such Act. Requires a participant who at the time of retirement desires not to have his or her surviving spouse receive an annuity to so state in writing to the Director. States that a surviving spouse acquired after retirement is entitled to a survivor annuity only by electing such annuity instead of any other survivor benefit to which he or she may be entitled to under this or any other retirement system for Government employees. Allows participants in such system who retire unmarried and later marry to elect to receive a reduced annuity under such Act. Sets forth the minimum monthly rate of annuity for a surviving spouse or child. States that retirement for disability or incapacity may only be approved if the application for such retirement is submitted before the applicant is separated from the Agency or within one year thereafter. Extends the period in which a recovered disability annuitant may continue to receive such annuity. Stipulates that if a recovered annuitant has, before reaching age 62, again become totally disabled due to a recurrence of his or her original disability, the terminated disability annuity shall be reinstated. Grants a prior service credit to participants for time spent in service with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the Public Health Service. Prohibits the recovery of payments made under this Act by the Government if the individual involved is without fault and recovery would be against equity. Authorizes the President, by executive order, to maintain the existing areas of conformity between the Civil Service and Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability Systems. Increases the annuity payable from the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability Fund to annuitants and surviving spouses of annuitants which is based on a separation occurring prior to October 20, 1969.

Consumer Communications Reform Act

United States · United States Congress · 5 May 1976

Consumer Communications Reform Act - States that Congress finds that the revenues from integrated interstate and foreign common carrier telecommunications services helped maintain a level of charges for telephone exchange service which is lower than otherwise would be required. Expresses the sense of Congress that the authorization of lines, facilities, or services of specialized carriers which duplicate the lines, facilities, or services of other telecommunications common carriers is contrary to the public interest. Reaffirms the intent of Congress that the complete authority to regulate terminal and station equipment used for telephone exchange service shall rest with the States even though such terminal and station equipment also may be used in connection with interstate services. Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to provide that no compensatory charges for or in connection with such communication service may be found to be unjust or unreasonable on the ground that it is to low. Prohibits the Federal Communications Commission from holding the charge of a carrier up to a particular level to protect the traffic or revenues from a communication service offered or provided by another carrier if such charge proposed by the carrier is compensatory. Grants the Commission jurisdiction to approve the acquisition of control by a domestic common carrier of any other domestic common carrier or to approve the acquisition by a person which is not a common carrier of control of any domestic common carrier or the acquisition of the whole or any part of the property of a domestic common carrier after determining that the acquisition is in the public interest. Provides that the Commission shall not grant or authorize any construction permit, station license, or certificate, for the construction, acquisition, or operation of any communication or transmission line or facility, or extension thereof, or any modification or renewal thereof, unless the Commission shall find, after full opportunity for evidentiary hearing on the record, that such permit, license, or certificate will not result in increased charges or unnecessary duplication of communication lines.
