SEC. 2. TRANSFERS TO 1974 UMWA PENSION PLAN.

    (a) In General.--Subsection (i) of section 402 of the Surface 
Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1232), as amended 
by the Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act,

            ``(4) Additional amounts.--
                    ``(A) Calculation.--If the dollar limitation 
                specified in paragraph (3)(A) exceeds the aggregate 
                amount required to be transferred under paragraphs (1) 
                and (2) for a fiscal year, the Secretary of the 
                Treasury shall transfer an additional amount equal to 
                the difference between such dollar limitation and such 
                aggregate amount to the trustees of the 1974 UMWA 
                Pension Plan to pay benefits required under that plan.

                Plan is receiving transfers under subparagraph (A), no 
                amendment of such plan which increases the liabilities 
                of the plan by reason of any increase in benefits, any 
                change in the accrual of benefits, or any change in the 
                rate at which benefits become nonforfeitable under the 
                plan may be adopted unless the amendment is required as 
                a condition of qualification under part I of subchapter 
                D of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

                section 4201 of the Employee Retirement Income Security 
                Act of 1974.

                transfer under subparagraph (A) shall not be made for a

                contribute to the 1974 UMWA Pension Plan on the date of 
                the transfer are obligated to make the contributions at

SEC. 3. CUSTOMS USER FEES.

    (a) In General.--Section 13031(j)(3)(A) of the Consolidated Omnibus 
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (19 U.S.C. 58c(j)(3)(A)), as amended 
by section 105(a) of the Health Benefits for Miners Act of 2017, is 
amended by striking ``January 14, 2026'' and inserting ``May 13, 
2026''.
    (b) Rate for Merchandise Processing Fees.--Section 503 of the 
United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Public Law 
112-41; 19 U.S.C. 3805 note), as amended by section 105(b) of the 
Health Benefits for Miners Act of 2017, is amended by striking 
``January 14, 2026'' and inserting ``May 13, 2026''.
Miners Pension Protection Act  This bill amends the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) to transfer certain funds to the 1974 United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) Pension Plan to provide pension benefits to retired coal miners and their families.  The Department of the Treasury must transfer additional funds to the 1974 UMWA Pension Plan to pay pension benefits required under that plan if the amounts available for transfer under SMCRA's $490 million annual limit exceed the amounts required to be transferred for other purposes (including to the UMWA Health Plans).  The bill also: (1) prohibits the pension plan from making certain changes to benefits during any year in which a transfer is received, and (2) establishes additional reporting requirements for the plan. As an offset, the bill amends the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 to extend the authority of Treasury to collect certain customs user fees.
