continued acceptable levels of pilot skill and judgment.

date of enactment of the Transportation, Housing and Urban 

Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008, 

and every 6 months thereafter, an air carrier engaged in covered operations shall evaluate the performance of each pilot of

use in neighborhood reinvestment activities, as authorized by the

$119,800,000, of which $5,000,000 shall be for a multi-family rental 

housing program. 

For an additional amount, $200,000,000 shall be made available until expended to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation 

for mortgage foreclosure mitigation activities, under the following 

terms and conditions: 

(1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (‘‘NRC’’), 

shall make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by the 

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or the 

NRC (with match to be determined by the NRC based on affordability and the economic conditions of an area; a match 

also may be waived by the NRC based on the aforementioned 

conditions) to provide mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance primarily to states and areas with high rates of defaults 

and foreclosures primarily in the sub prime housing market to 

help eliminate the default and foreclosure of mortgages of 

owner-occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such 

foreclosure. Other than areas with high rates of defaults and 

foreclosures, grants may also be provided to approved counseling intermediaries based on a geographic analysis of the Nation by the NRC which determines where there is a prevalence 

of sub prime mortgages that are risky and likely to fail, including any trends for mortgages that are likely to default and face 

foreclosure. A State Housing Finance Agency may also be eligible where the State Housing Finance Agency meets all the requirements under this paragraph. A HUD- or NRC-approved 

counseling intermediary shall meet certain mortgage foreclosure 

mitigation assistance counseling requirements, as determined 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
68 

by the NRC, and shall be approved by HUD or the NRC as 

meeting these requirements; 

(2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only be 

made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes with 

mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mortgages 

shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners 

will be provided such assistance that shall consist of activities 

that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result in the longterm affordability of the mortgage retained pursuant to such activity or another positive outcome for the homeowner. No funds 

made available under this paragraph may be provided directly 

to lenders or homeowners to discharge outstanding mortgage 

balances or for any other direct debt reduction payments; 

(3) The use of Mortgage Foreclosure Mitigation Assistance 

by approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing Finance Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the borrower’s financial situation, an evaluation of the current value 

of the property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling regarding the assumption of the mortgage by another non-federal 

party, counseling regarding the possible purchase of the mortgage by a non-federal third party, counseling and advice of all 

likely restructuring and refinancing strategies or the approval 

of a work-out strategy by all interested parties; 

(4) NRC shall award $50,000,000 in mortgage foreclosure 

mitigation grants for States and areas with the greatest needs 

within 60 days of enactment. Additional funds may be awarded 

once the NRC certifies that HUD- or NRC-approved counseling 

intermediaries and State Housing Finance Agencies have the 

need for additional funds in states and areas with high rates 

of mortgage foreclosures, defaults, or related activities and the 

expertise to use these funds effectively. The NRC may provide 

up to fifteen percent of the total funds under this paragraph to 

its own charter members with expertise in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a certification by the NRC that the 

procedures for selection do not consist of any procedures or activities that could be construed as an unacceptable conflict of 

interest or have the appearance of impropriety; 

(5) NRC- or HUD-approved counseling entities and State 

Housing Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall have demonstrated experience in successfully working with financial institutions as well as borrowers facing default, delinquency and foreclosure as well as documented counseling capacity, outreach capacity, past successful performance 

and positive outcomes with documented counseling plans (including post mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan 

workout agreements and loan modification agreements; 

(6) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up to $5,000,000 may be made available to build the 

mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity 

of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses 

with HUD- or NRC-approved counseling intermediaries and 

their partners, except that private financial institutions that 

participate in NRC training shall pay market rates for such 

training;

69 

(7) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up to 4 percent may be used for associated administrative expenses for the NRC to carry-out activities provided under 

this section; 

(8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance may include 

a budget for outreach and advertising, as determined by the 

NRC; and 

(9) The NRC shall report bi-annually to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the Senate 

Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee 

on its efforts to mitigate mortgage default. Such reports shall 

identify successful strategies and methods for preserving homeownership and the long-term affordability of at-risk mortgages 

and shall include recommended efforts that will or likely can 

assist in the success of this program as well as an analysis of 

any policy and procedures that failed to result in successful 

mortgage foreclosure mitigation. The report shall include an 

analysis of the details and use of any post mitigation counseling of assisted borrowers designed to ensure the continued 

long-term affordability of the mortgages which were the subject 

of the mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance.

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF 

CONFERENCE 

The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the 

two Houses on the amendments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 

3074), ‘‘making appropriations for the Departments of Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and related agencies 

for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes’’, submits the following joint statement to the House and the 

Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the 

conferees and recommended in the accompanying conference report. 

This legislation intent in the House and Senate versions in 

H.R. 3074 is set forth in the accompanying House report (H. Rept. 

110–238) and the accompanying Senate report (S. Rept. 110–131 

accompanying the companion measure S. 1789). 

The Senate amendment deleted the entire House bill after the 

enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. The conference agreement includes a revised bill. 

The language and allocations set forth in the House and Senate reports should be complied with unless specifically addressed to 

the contrary in the conference report and the statement of the 

managers. Report language included by the House which is not 

changed by the report of the Senate or this statement of managers 

and Senate report language which is not changed by this statement 

of managers is approved by the committee of conference. The statement of the managers, while repeating some report language for 

emphasis, does not intend to negate the language referred to above 

unless expressly provided herein. In cases where the House or the 

Senate has directed the submission of a report, such report is to 

be submitted to both House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. 

TITLE I—DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $93,782,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the office of the secretary instead of $90,678,000 

as proposed by the House and $95,197,000 as proposed by the Senate. As proposed by both the House and the Senate, bill language 

is included that specifies funding by office. The conference agreement is as follows: 

Immediate office of the Secretary .................................................................. $2,310,000 

Immediate office of the Deputy Secretary ..................................................... 730,000 

Office of the General Counsel ......................................................................... 18,720,000 

Office of the Under Secretary for Transportation Policy .............................. 11,874,000 

Office of the Assistant Secretary for Budget and Programs ........................ 9,417,000 

Office of the Assistant Secretary for Governmental Affairs ........................ 2,383,000 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
76 

Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration ................................... 23,750,000 

Office of Public Affairs .................................................................................... 1,986,000 

Office of the Executive Secretariat ................................................................. 1,516,000 

Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization ............................. 1,335,000 

Office of Intelligence, Security and Emergency Response ............................ 7,874,000 

Office of the Chief Information Officer .......................................................... 11,887,000 

The conference agreement retains provisions proposed by both 

the House and the Senate limiting transfers among each office to 

no more than 5 percent and requiring that any transfer greater 

than 5 percent must be submitted for approval to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations. Bill language is also included which allows the Department to spend up to $60,000 within 

the funds provided for official reception and representation expenses. 

The conference agreement retains bill language proposed by 

the House and Senate prohibiting funds from being used for the position of Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs. The conference 

agreement also retains bill language proposed by both the House 

and the Senate that allows up to $2,500,000 in user fees to be credited to salaries and expenses. 

Within the amounts provided to the office of the general counsel, an additional $2,500,000 is provided to increase enforcement 

activities to better protect air travel consumers as proposed by the 

Senate. 

The conferees direct the Department to notify the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations no less than three full business days before any grant totaling $500,000 is announced and further clarify that such notifications shall be based on the grant’s 

full-year funding level, not just the incremental amount being released. In addition, the conferees direct the Department to provide 

three day notice to the Appropriations Committees regarding 

grants from the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief program, with the exception that notification of ‘quick releases’

from that program can be made concurrently with the grant announcement. 

The conferees direct the Secretary to submit an operating plan 

for fiscal year 2008 for the entire Department as described in the 

House report for approval by the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations within 60 days of enactment of this Act. 

Further, the Assistant Secretary for Budget and Programs 

shall submit a report to both the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations at the beginning of each fiscal quarter on the status 

of all outstanding reports and reporting requirements, including 

the deadlines established by Congress for each report and an estimated date for delivery, as directed by the Senate. The Assistant 

Secretary for Budget and Programs is also directed to submit a 

quarterly report detailing all funding transfers made between offices within the office of the secretary (OST) pursuant to transfer 

authority in OST salaries and expenses. 

The conferees direct the office of the under secretary of transportation for policy to conduct a study of the use of non-hazardous 

recycled aggregates and other materials in highway projects as proposed by the Senate and to provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by April 1, 2008.

The conferees delete language proposed by the House regarding the Department of Defense schools and FAA employees in 

Puerto Rico and Guam. 

Small community air service development program.—The conferees strongly disagree with the Department’s plan to transfer the 

administration of the small community air service development 

program from the OST policy office to the Federal Aviation Administration. In the aftermath of the tragic Valujet crash on May 11, 

1996, the Congress eliminated the FAA’s dual mission of safety and 

promotion and established safety as the agency’s singular mission 

through the enactment of section 401 of the Federal Aviation Authorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–264). The conferees agree 

that it is inappropriate for the FAA, which is charged with the 

safety and regulatory oversight of our nation’s airports and aviation system, to administer a marketing program designed to attract 

commercial air service at small airports. The conferees direct the 

Secretary to retain this program within the policy office where it 

currently resides. 

OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS

The conference agreement provides $9,140,900 for the office of 

civil rights as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The conference agreement provides $14,000,000 for transportation planning, research and development instead of $8,515,000 as 

proposed by the House and $14,115,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Adjustments to the budget request are as follows: 

Ballast water research, UW–Superior, WI .................................................... $1,000,000 

Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute, WI ............................................. 1,000,000 

Inland Pacific Hub Analysis Project, WA ...................................................... 250,000 

National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), MI .......................... 750,000 

SR–520 innovative water quality protection project, WA ............................ 350,000 

Transportation and public safety traffic information exchange pilot 

project, DE .................................................................................................... 335,000 

UVM advanced ground penetrating radar systems, VT ............................... 670,000 

Virtual accident and injury reconstruction center, Mississippi State University, MS ................................................................................................... 1,000,000 

Washington State University freight transportation policy institute, WA 450,000 

WORKING CAPITAL FUND

The conference agreement includes a limitation of 

$128,094,000 for working capital fund activities as proposed by 

both the House and the Senate. 

MINORITY BUSINESS RESOURCE CENTER PROGRAM

The conference agreement provides a total appropriation of 

$893,000 for the costs of guaranteed loans for short-term working 

capital and the administrative expenses of the minority business 

resource center program as proposed by the House instead of 

$891,000 as proposed by the Senate and limits loans made under 

the program to $18,367,000 as proposed by both the House and the 

Senate. 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
78 

MINORITY BUSINESS OUTREACH

The conference agreement provides $2,970,000 for minority 

business outreach as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

PAYMENTS TO AIR CARRIERS

(AIRPORT AND AIRWAY TRUST FUND)

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $60,000,000 for payments 

to air carriers to be derived from the trust fund as proposed by the 

House and Senate. In addition to these funds, the program will receive $50,000,000 in mandatory spending pursuant to the Federal 

Aviation Authorization Act of 1996. In addition, $15,000,000 is 

made available pursuant to the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, resulting in a total program budget of $125,000,000. 

COMPENSATION TO AIR CARRIERS

(RESCISSION)

The conference agreement rescinds $22,000,000 from unobligated funds as proposed by the House and Senate. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF

TRANSPORTATION

Section 101 retains a provision allowing the Secretary to transfer unexpended sums from ‘‘office of the secretary, salaries and expenses’’ to ‘‘minority business outreach’’ as proposed by the House 

and Senate. 

Section 102 retains a provision prohibiting the Office of the 

Secretary of Transportation from approving assessments or reimbursable agreements pertaining to funds appropriated to the modal 

administrations in the Act, unless such assessments or agreements 

have completed the normal reprogramming process for Congressional notification as proposed by the House and Senate. 

Section 103 retains a provision prohibiting the use of funds to 

implement an essential air service local cost share participation 

program as proposed by the House and Senate. 

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION

OPERATIONS

The conference agreement includes $8,750,000,000 for operations of the Federal Aviation Administration instead of 

$8,716,606,000 as proposed by the House and $8,761,783,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. Of the total amount provided, 

$6,383,216,000 is to be derived from the airport and airway trust 

fund instead of $6,317,000,000 as proposed by the House and 

$6,400,580,000 proposed by the Senate. Funds are distributed in 

the bill by budget activity. 

Second career training program.—The conference agreement 

retains language proposed by the House that prohibits funding for 

the second career training program. 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
79 

Non-profit standard-setting organization for safety standards.— The conference agreement retains language proposed by the House 

that allows the FAA to enter into an agreement with a nonprofit 

standard-setting organization to develop safety standards. 

Office of Aviation Safety.—The conference agreement specifies no less than $6,000,000 for aviation safety for staff increases in the 

office of flight standards (AFS) and the office of aircraft certification (AIR), instead of $20,000,000 proposed by the Senate. The 

House did not include a similar provision. 

Controller and Safety Staffing Plans.—The conference agreement retains language proposed by the Senate that requires FAA 

to transmit an annual update to the controller workforce plan by 

March 31, 2008, and reduces the appropriation by $100,000 per day 

each day the report is late. The conference agreement does not retain a legislative provision proposed by the Senate requiring a comprehensive strategy for AFS and AIR staffing by March 31, 2008. 

This reporting requirement is addressed later in this statement. 

The following table compares the conference agreement to the 

President’s budget request and the levels proposed in the House 

and Senate bills by budget activity:

Contract tower program.—The conference agreement includes $8,500,000 to continue the contract tower cost-sharing program as 

proposed by both the House and Senate. In addition, consistent 

with House proposal, the conferees provide $103,000,000 for the 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
80 

contract tower base program, and allow FAA to use unsubscribed 

funds from the contract tower base line program to avoid elimination of communities from the cost share towers program. The 

conferees allow this flexibility only after all baseline tower obligations are fulfilled. The Senate proposed $99,400,000 for the base 

program. 

Air traffic controller staffing.—The conferees provide 

$15,899,000, equal to the budget request, to hire and train 1,420 

new controllers, and recognize that FAA will adjust its hiring target consistent with actual attrition levels. 

Diversity plans for controllers and safety staff.—The conference 

agreement retains language proposed by the House directing the 

FAA to prepare and transmit diversity plans for both controllers 

and safety staff. The conferees amend the submittal date for these 

plans, from January 1, 2008 to April 1, 2008. 

Aviation safety (AVS).—The conference agreement provides 

$1,082,653,000 for aviation safety, instead of $1,076,103,000 proposed by the House and $1,092,103,000 proposed by the Senate. 

This amount includes $16,000,000 as proposed by both the House 

and Senate to annualize safety personnel in AFS and AIR that are 

currently onboard. It also includes no less than $6,000,000 to increase AFS and AIR safety staff and $2,000,000 to increase safety 

staff in other high priority offices within AVS. The conferees direct 

FAA to provide a letter report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations indicating how this $2,000,000 was spent. 

The conferees modify House language that designates AVS 

funding as a congressional item of interest and continue to prohibit 

reprogrammings to other offices outside of AVS; however, the legislative prohibition against reprogrammings among AVS offices is deleted. 

The conferees include Senate language directing the FAA to 

provide a quarterly report on safety personnel by office in AVS, instead of the annual requirement on safety employment and other 

data as proposed by the House. The conference agreement includes 

the Senate requirement that FAA submit within 90 days from enactment, a report on its staffing model schedule, and directs FAA 

to submit an annual safety plan by March 31, 2008, describing 

FAA’s safety needs within AVS, the use of designees and their impact on safety, as proposed by the House. The conferees include the 

direction that this annual safety plan include total number of staff, 

estimated staff losses, and planned hires for the entire safety staff 

as well as individually for the flight standards and the aircraft certification offices, as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes in statement language the 

reporting requirements contained in the Senate bill directing the 

Government Accountability Office to study the effectiveness of different strategies for reducing flight delays at various airports and 

transmit the report within 120 days of enactment, and directing 

the Secretary of Transportation to outline DOT’s plan to alleviate 

air congestion and flight delays in the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia airspace.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

(AIRPORT AND AIRWAY TRUST FUND)

The conference agreement includes $2,527,284,000 instead of 

$2,515,000,000 as proposed by the House and $2,516,920,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. Of the total amount available, 

$459,973,000 is available until September 30, 2008, and 

$2,067,311,000 is available until September 30, 2010. The conference agreement includes language proposed by both the House 

and Senate directing FAA to transmit a detailed five-year capital

Outreach and education ........................................................................ 3,000,000 

Commercial motor vehicle operators grants ........................................ 1,000,000 

The conference agreement also prohibits any funds relating to 

outreach and education from being transferred to another agency 

as proposed by the House and the Senate. 

High risk carriers.—Within the funds provided for FMCSA’s 

operating expenses, the conference agreement includes an additional $1,000,000 as proposed by the Senate to conduct compliance 

reviews on high risk carriers. In addition, the conferees direct 

FMCSA to provide quarterly reports on the agency’s progress in 

meeting the high risk carrier requirements contained in 

SAFETEA–LU. 

Compliance reviews.—The conferees direct FMCSA to prepare 

a safety oversight action plan and to provide a report to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations within six months of enactment of this Act which includes a delineation of the number of 

planned and completed compliance reviews from the previous year.

In addition, the report should include the results of the agency’s internal review of the fatal accident that occurred on the Capital 

Beltway (I–495/I–95) on March 19, 2007, and any requisite impact 

on the compliance review process, particularly as it relates to investigator training. 

Motor coach accessibility.—The conferees reiterate concerns expressed in both the House and Senate Committee reports regarding 

DOT’s failure to enforce its own regulations requiring accessibility 

to over-the-road buses for people with disabilities. The U.S. Court 

of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected FMCSA’s assertion that it 

did not have the authority to deny bus operators registration based 

on an interstate bus company’s unwillingness or inability to comply 

with DOT’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations, and 

remanded the case to FMCSA for further interpretation. On October 26, 2007, FMCSA responded by reasserting its claim that it 

lacks the authority to enforce DOT’s own ADA regulations. The 

conferees find this interpretation to be mystifying, unacceptable, 

and deliberately evasive. It certainly calls into question the commitment of both the Secretary and the Administrator to enforcing 

both the letter and the spirit of Federal laws designed to protect 

the rights of the disabled. The conferees disagree with FMCSA that 

further statutory language is needed to clarify FMCSA’s enforcement role in this area. Even so, given the recalcitrant stance and 

steadfast refusal of the Secretary and the Administrator to enforce 

the law on this matter, the conferees are supportive of the prompt 

enactment of H.R. 3985: the Over-the-Road Bus Transportation Accessibility Act of 2007. This bill makes clear, again, that FMCSA 

has the authority to enforce compliance with DOT’s ADA regulations in this area. The conferees can only hope that, once this law 

is enacted, the Secretary and Administrator will not concoct still 

further evasive strategies to avoid their statutory responsibility.

the General Fund for the administrative expenses of the Federal 

Transit Administration instead of $92,500,000 as proposed by the 

House and $88,795,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference 

agreement provides FTA’s administrative funding in the structure 

proposed by the House instead of distributing the agency’s funding 

by each individual office. In addition, the conference agreement 

specifies that $20,719,000 shall be provided for the central account 

and that no more than $1,504,000 shall be provided for travel. 

The conference agreement retains provisions proposed by both 

the House and the Senate allowing for the transfer of up to five 

percent of funds between offices, directing FTA to submit for approval any proposal to transfer funds from the Central Account, 

prohibiting funds for a permanent office of transit security, directing FTA to reimburse up to $2,000,000 to the Office of the Inspector General, and directing the submission of the annual new starts 

report. As proposed by the House, funds for the National Transit 

Database are included under the formula program. 

FTA is directed to submit its fiscal year 2009 congressional 

budget justification for administrative funds itemized by office with 

material detailing salaries and expenses, staffing increases, and 

programmatic initiatives of each office. The initiatives for each 

should be clearly stated, and include a justification for each new 

position or full-time equivalent, should FTA request additional 

FTEs next year. In addition, the congressional budget justifications 

must identify the administrative costs for each new fixed guideway 

project included in the fiscal year 2009 request. 

The conference agreement includes $500,000 instead of 

$1,000,000 as proposed by the House to establish an interagency 

working group between FTA and the Department of Housing and 

Urban Development (HUD). The conferees direct FTA and HUD to 

develop a best practices manual which will serve to assist communities as they seek to establish mixed-income transit-oriented development. FTA and HUD should also jointly report back to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within six 

months of enactment, on new ways FTA and HUD can better coordinate transportation and housing programs to promote affordable housing near transit.

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The joint statement of the managers herein reflects the agreement of the conferees on tenant-based rental assistance. The conference agreement provides $16,436,000,000 for all tenant-based 

Section 8 (voucher) activities under the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Account. The House proposed $16,330,000,000 and the 

Senate proposed $16,598,694,000 for these activities. Language is 

included designating funds provided as follows: 

Activity Conference agreement

Section 8 Voucher Renewals.—The conference agreement includes $14,694,506,000, instead of $14,744,506,000 as proposed by 

the House and $14,929,200,000, as proposed by the Senate. The 

conference agreement provides that funding for renewals shall be 

distributed based on VMS data for the most recent Federal fiscal 

year. The conference agreement also provides an exception to this 

funding formula for PHAs impacted by the 2005 hurricanes, those 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
154 

PHAs that went into receivership within the previous 24 months, 

and PHAs that overspent their FY07 allocation. The House had not 

proposed to revise the allocation methodology from FY07. 

The conferees instruct the Department that the entire amount 

for renewals shall be administered through the LOCCS system and 

provided to PHAs in the same manner as in effect in FY06 and 

prior years. Further, PHAs shall be notified of their allocation 

within 60 days of enactment of this Act, unless the Secretary requests a waiver from the Committees. The conference agreement provides that $50,000,000 shall be 

available to adjust the allocations for PHAs that experienced a significant increase in renewal costs due to portability or for PHAs 

with a higher leasing rate at the end of the Federal fiscal year than 

the average for the entire year. 

Tenant Protection.—The conference agreement includes $200,000,000 for rental subsidies for tenant protection activities instead of $150,000,000 as proposed by the House and Senate. HUD 

is instructed to issue tenant protection vouchers for all units that 

were occupied within the previous 24 months. The conference 

agreement does not include language proposed by the House concerning recaptures and carryover. 

The conference agreement does not include language proposed 

by the House regarding the costs of judgments and settlements. 

Administrative Fees.—The conference agreement includes $1,351,000,000 for public housing agencies’ administrative costs 

and other expenses, as proposed by the House and Senate. Of these 

funds, $1,316,000,000 shall be administered as provided in section 

8(q) of QHWRA, as proposed by the House and Senate. The conference report does not include $5,000,000 for an incentive for 

PHAs to consolidate, as proposed by the House and the Senate. 

Family Self Sufficiency Coordinators.—The conference agree- ment includes $49,000,000 for public housing agencies family selfsufficiency coordinator staff, instead of $48,000,000 as proposed by 

the House and $50,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

HUD–VASH Vouchers.—The conference agreement includes 

$75,000,000 for incremental voucher assistance for use through a 

supported housing program administered in conjunction with the 

Department of Veterans Affairs, as proposed by the Senate. This 

funding will be made available to PHAs that partner with eligible 

VA Medical Centers and other entities based on geographic need 

for such assistance. The conferees expect that these vouchers will 

be made available to all homeless veterans, including recently returning veterans. These vouchers shall remain available for homeless veterans upon turnover. 

Nonelderly Disabled Vouchers.—The conference agreement provides $30,000,000, as proposed by the House, for incremental assistance to nonelderly disabled families. These vouchers shall remain available, to the extent practicable, for nonelderly disabled

Working Capital Fund.—The conference agreement includes up to $6,494,000 that may be transferred to the Working Capital Fund 

as proposed by the House and Senate. 

The conferees instruct HUD not to disburse more than 70 percent of the FY07 advance prior to halfway through the 2008 calendar year. 

HOUSING CERTIFICATE FUND

(RESCISSION)

The conference agreement includes a rescission of $1,250,000,000 from unobligated balances and recaptures from 

prior-year appropriations provided in the tenant-based rental assistance and the project-based rental assistance accounts or any 

other account within this title. This rescission is to be effected no 

later than September 30, 2008. The House proposed $1,300,000,000 

and the Senate proposed $1,100,000,000. 

PROJECT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $6,381,810,000 for project- based rental assistance activities instead of $6,479,810,000 as proposed by the House and $5,813,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement provides funds as follows: 

Activity Conference agreement 

Project-Based Contract Renewals ......................................................... $6,139,122,000 

Contract Administrators ....................................................................... 238,728,000 

Working Capital Fund ........................................................................... 3,960,000 

Total, Project-Based Rental Assistance ............................................... 6,381,810,000 

Language is included, as proposed by the House, designating not less than $238,728,000 but not to exceed $286,230,000 for performance-based contract administrators. 

The conferees note the Department’s inability to identify actual 

funding needs for Project-Based Rental Assistance renewals. The 

conferees also find that the Department has not been aggressive in 

reducing the impact that its decisions are having on the affordable 

housing community. In light of what appears to be a severe funding 

shortage, the Department has taken the drastic step of abandoning 

its practice of 12-month contracts and has been sending short-term 

renewal contracts that impact owners, landlords, financial institutions, and, most importantly, tenants of Project-Based housing. 

A large part of the problem is that the administration has not 

determined if 12-month contracts can be conditioned on the availability of funds and can be funded incrementally. The conferees instruct HUD and OMB to make a final determination about whether 

an Anti-Deficiency Act (ADA) violation would exist under those circumstances within one month of enactment of this Act. If no violation would exist, then HUD is instructed to immediately begin 

issuing 12-month contracts subject to the availability of funds. If a 

violation would exist or has occurred, the administration must report that violation to the Committees immediately. 

The conference agreement does not include the report on a 

project-by-project analysis that verifies the funding request for renewals and amendments as part of the FY09 budget justification, 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT

as proposed by the House, as this issue is addressed in the general 

provisions of this title, as proposed by the Senate.

The conference agreement provides $2,438,964,000 for the Public Housing Capital Fund as proposed by the House, instead of 

$2,500,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within the total funding 

the conference agreement includes: up to $12,000,000 for section 

9(h) of the 1937 Housing Act, instead of $10,890,000 as proposed 

by the House and $14,890,000 as proposed by the Senate; not to 

exceed $16,847,000 may be transferred for information technology 

systems as proposed by the Senate instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the House; not to exceed $18,500,000 for emergency capital needs resulting from unforeseen emergencies or natural disasters in fiscal year 2008 instead of $17,000,000 as proposed by the 

House or $20,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

the Senate instead of $38,000,000 as proposed by the House.

The conference agreement instructs HUD to report quarterly to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the status 

of all PHAs in receivership, the technical assistance provided to 

these agencies, and the demonstrated achievements of the agencies. 

This submission shall begin with the transmission of the FY09 

budget justification. 

The conferees direct HUD to perform an updated Capital 

Needs Assessment (CNA) from funds made available under this account for the public housing portfolio, including the projected annual cost to adequately maintain that portfolio. To conduct the new 

CNA, HUD shall contract with a nationally recognized research entity with experience in conducting physical needs assessments of a 

representative sample of public housing or similar development 

projects. The review shall include a statistical sample for projects 

of 500 units or less and one-for-one review for projects in excess of 

500 units. HUD shall award a contract for the study within 120 

days after the enactment of this Act and shall report to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the progress of the 

study by June 30, 2008. HUD shall submit a final report to the 

Committees by July 31, 2009, that includes national cost estimates 

and a comparison of those estimates with capital needs as of 1996, 

after adjusting for changes in the composition of the public housing 

stock resulting from HOPE VI funding and other actions. The report shall also discuss whether REAC physical inspection scores 

can support ongoing national estimates of public housing capital 

needs.

by the Senate. The conferees provide that not to exceed $2,400,000 

shall be used for technical assistance as proposed by the House instead of $1,980,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference 

agreement also directs HUD to use unobligated and unexpended

these resources to focus on grants awarded before 2001 that have 

large unexpended balances.

training, and technical assistance, including up to $300,000 for related travel, as proposed by the House and the Senate. The conference agreement provides that $2,000,000 shall be contracted as

$2,475,000 to the Working Capital Fund as proposed by both the 

House and the Senate. 

The conference agreement provides $25,000,000 for the Secretary to conduct a demonstration program on the effectiveness of 

rapid re-housing programs in reducing the number of homeless 

families as proposed by the Senate. The conferees direct HUD to 

select a limited number of sites to receive funding for this demonstration program as a part of the Homeless Assistance Grants 

competition, and should consider the following criteria when selecting sites: proven experience in rapid re-housing, performance of the 

Continuum of Care, and geographic diversity. Selected programs 

should provide families with housing placement services, shortterm housing assistance, including up to 18 months of rental assistance, and an array of appropriate services for families. The conferees have also included language that allows the Secretary to use 

up to $1,250,000 to conduct an evaluation of the demonstration

RELATED AGENCIES 

ARCHITECTURAL AND TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS COMPLIANCE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $6,150,000 for the Salaries 

and Expenses of the Architectural and Transportation Barriers 

Compliance Board as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $22,072,000 for the Salaries and Expenses of the Federal Maritime Commission as proposed by the House, instead of $22,322,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $84,499,000 instead of 

$85,000,000 as proposed by the House and $84,500,000 as proposed 

by the Senate. The conferees direct that not less than $1,424,000

NEIGHBORHOOD REINVESTMENT CORPORATION

PAYMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD REINVESTMENT CORPORATION

The conference agreement provides $319,800,000 for the 

Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation instead of $119,800,000 as 

proposed by the House and Senate. 

The conference agreement includes $200,000,000 to be administered by the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (NRC) to 

make grants to NRC- or HUD-approved counseling intermediaries 

(including State housing finance agencies) for mortgage foreclosure 

mitigation assistance of owner-occupied homes. 

NRC is a Congressionally-chartered nonprofit corporation, and 

since 1978, NRC has been providing quality housing counseling. 

The conferees note that NRC was one of the first organizations to 

begin responding to the subprime mortgage crisis by establishing 

its Center for Foreclosure Solutions. NRC will manage a competition for housing counseling organizations with demonstrated experience in this field, and will begin awarding grants within 60 days 

of enactment of this Act. The NRC can administer this competition 

rapidly and can thus facilitate help for homeowners almost immediately. 

This $200,000,000 is one-time funding to be available until expended by the NRC in response to the ongoing lending and credit 

crisis. This crisis is fueled by more than 2 million mortgages that 

now face significant risk of default and foreclosure as the housing 

markets slow and adverse mortgage terms, such as adjustable rate 

mortgages, reset. 

This program is designed to assist homeowners with subprime 

or other single-family mortgages that are likely to be in default 

and/or foreclosure. This is not designed as a bailout for either financial institutions or homeowners with mortgages that are likely 

to fail. Instead, the goal of the program is to provide counseling assistance that will prevent foreclosure and result in the long-term 

affordability of the mortgage or another positive outcome for the 

homeowner. No Federal funds are to be used to directly benefit financial institutions or homeowners. 

The conferees believe that the funding is needed, will be wellused, and will help stabilize the single-family mortgage marketplace. However, the conference agreement notes that $200,000,000 

is a rapid expansion of housing counseling assistance. As a result, 

the conferees direct that $50,000,000 will be awarded within 60 

days of enactment, which the conferees expect will result in a rapid 

investment of these funds. 

Finally, the conference agreement directs the NRC to provide 

a bi-annual report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the House Financial Services Committee and 

the Senate Banking Committee. These reports will identify the use 

of funds in the program, models of success and an overall analysis 

of the program, its strategies for success and its evolution, among 

other things.

date for the Council until September 30, 2008.

enactment to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 

on a comprehensive funding strategy to meet the agency’s ten year
