Recovering America's Wildlife Act This bill amends the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to direct the Department of the Treasury to transfer, beginning in FY2018, revenues from energy and mineral development on federal lands totaling $1.3 billion to the Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Subaccount of the Federal Aid to Wildlife Restoration Fund, to be available without further appropriation. The bill revises the requirements governing how the funds from the subaccount may be used, including by requiring funds to be used to develop, revise, and implement state wildlife conservation strategies. The bill expands the allowable uses of the subaccount, including by allowing funds to be used for managing invasive and nuisance species and for law enforcement activities that are directly related to the conservation of species of the greatest conservation need. Funds apportioned from the subaccount may not be conditioned upon the provision of public access to private lands, waters, or holdings. The bill specifies what types of funds and donations states may use to meet matching fund requirements. The bill revises the formula used to determine how funds are distributed to states.

France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017
M. Joël Giraud appelle l'attention de M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur la programmation des investissements publics réalisés au bénéfice de Météo-France, opérateur de premier plan dans la connaissance du climat, la transmission des informations et la sensibilisation du public aux effets du dérèglement climatique. En effet, outre la baisse continue du financement direct de l'État (- 2 % en 2018), il est à noter que le montant de la subvention pour charges de service public dont bénéficie l'opérateur ne couvre pas l'ensemble de ses dépenses de personnels. Pour mémoire, en 2017, 76 % des charges liées à la masse salariale étaient couvertes par ladite subvention. Par ailleurs, la moitié du financement de l'opérateur est extérieure à l'État et dépend de facteurs exogènes (redevances de navigation aérienne, recettes générées par l'activité commerciale de l'opérateur en baisse constante du fait de la pression concurrentielle). Pour disposer d'outils technologiques compétitifs et particulièrement d'un supercalculateur performant, Météo-France doit assurer de lourds investissements annuels et réduire dans un contexte de restructuration qui pousse les effectifs à un seuil critique, ses dépenses. Dans ce contexte, il lui demande les garanties que le ministère d'État compte apporter sur cet investissement dans l'augmentation de la puissance de calcul du nouveau supercalculateur dont il a été démontré par le Commissariat général à l'investissement que le rapport d'investissement est de 1 à 12 (12 fois plus de bénéfices économiques). Cet investissement est de surcroît nécessaire pour assurer les missions de sécurité assignées à Météo-France par la COP.
France · National Assembly · 11 December 2017
M. Patrice Verchère attire l'attention de M. le ministre d'État, ministre de l'intérieur, sur la sécurité des centrales et sites nucléaires. En effet, le parc français semble vulnérable en cas d'attentat terroriste comme l'ont révélé récemment diverses enquêtes journalistiques. Des mouvements activistes ont également souligné certaines faiblesses au niveau de la sécurité de ces installations par l'intrusion d'individus à l'intérieur des périmètres supposés protégés. Plusieurs menaces ont ainsi été identifiées comme une attaque aérienne à l'aide d'avions ou même de drones, l'intrusion d'un commando armé ou même d'un virus dans le système informatique. Chacun de ces scenarii pourrait engendrer une catastrophe majeure et il est indispensable de se donner les moyens d'assurer la sécurité totale des centrales et sites nucléaires. Il lui demande de bien vouloir lui indiquer les moyens tant financiers qu’humains et matériels que le Gouvernement entend débloquer afin de garantir la sécurité de l'ensemble des installations de la filière nucléaire française.
