SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Yankton Sioux Tribe and Santee Sioux
Tribe Equitable Compensation Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) by enacting the Act of December 22, 1944, commonly
        known as the ``Flood Control Act of 1944'' (58 Stat. 887,
        chapter 665; 33 U.S.C. 701-1 et seq.) Congress approved the
        Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin program (referred to in this
        section as the ``Pick-Sloan program'')--
                    (A) to promote the general economic development of
                the United States;
                    (B) to provide for irrigation above Sioux City,
                Iowa;
                    (C) to protect urban and rural areas from
                devastating floods of the Missouri River; and
                    (D) for other purposes;
            (2) the waters impounded for the Fort Randall and Gavins
        Point projects of the Pick-Sloan program have inundated the
        fertile, wooded bottom lands along the Missouri River that
        constituted the most productive agricultural and pastoral lands
        of, and the homeland of, the members of the Yankton Sioux Tribe
        and the Santee Sioux Tribe;
            (3) the Fort Randall project (including the Fort Randall
        Dam and Reservoir) overlies the western boundary of the Yankton
        Sioux Tribe Indian Reservation;
            (4) the Gavins Point project (including the Gavins Point
        Dam and Reservoir) overlies the eastern boundary of the Santee
        Sioux Tribe;
            (5) although the Fort Randall and Gavins Point projects are
        major components of the Pick-Sloan program, and contribute to
        the economy of the United States by generating a substantial
        amount of hydropower and impounding a substantial quantity of
        water, the reservations of the Yankton Sioux Tribe and the
        Santee Sioux Tribe remain undeveloped;
            (6) the United States Army Corps of Engineers took the
        Indian lands used for the Fort Randall and Gavins Point
        projects by condemnation proceedings;
            (7) the Federal Government did not give the Yankton Sioux
        Tribe and the Santee Sioux Tribe an opportunity to receive
        compensation for direct damages from the Pick-Sloan program,
        even though the Federal Government gave 5 Indian reservations
        upstream from the reservations of those Indian tribes such an
        opportunity;
            (8) the Yankton Sioux Tribe and the Santee Sioux Tribe did
        not receive just compensation for the taking of productive
        agricultural Indian lands through the condemnation referred to
        in paragraph (6);
            (9) the settlement agreement that the United States entered
        into with the Yankton Sioux Tribe and the Santee Sioux Tribe to
        provide compensation for the taking by condemnation referred to
        in paragraph (6) did not take into account the increase in
        property values over the years between the date of taking and
        the date of settlement; and
            (10) in addition to the financial compensation provided
        under the settlement agreements referred to in paragraph (9)--
                    (A) the Yankton Sioux Tribe should receive an
                aggregate amount equal to $23,023,743 for the loss
                value of 2,851.40 acres of Indian land taken for the
                Fort Randall Dam and Reservoir of the Pick-Sloan
                program; and
                    (B) the Santee Sioux Tribe should receive an
                aggregate amount equal to $4,789,010 for the loss value
                of 593.10 acres of Indian land located near the Santee
                village.

                a subscriber is an unserved household within the
                predicted grade B contour of the station, the satellite
                carrier shall, within 30 days after receipt of the
                challenge--
                            ``(i) inform the subscriber who is the
                        subject of the challenge from the network

                        challenged the subscriber's receipt of the
                        signal of the same network from the satellite
                        carrier; and

                        of the signal intensity of the subscriber's
                        household to determine whether the household is
                        an unserved household. If the subscriber does
                        not request, in writing, the satellite carrier
                        to conduct a signal intensity measurement

                        from the satellite carrier, the satellite
                        carrier shall terminate service to that
                        household of the signal that is the subject of
                        the challenge, and within 30 days thereafter
                        notify the network station that made the
                        challenge that service to that household has
                        been terminated.

                conduct a signal intensity measurement as described in
                clause (ii), the satellite carrier shall give
                reasonable notice to the network station issuing the

                        service to that household has been terminated.
                        In addition, the subscriber that requested the
                        satellite carrier to conduct the measurement
                        shall reimburse the satellite carrier for the
