PURPOSE OF THE BILL

The bill provides funding for: (1) the Department of Commerce 

and its bureaus, and administrations: the International Trade Administration [ITA], the Bureau of Industry and Security [BIS], the 

Economic Development Administration [EDA], the Minority Business Development Agency [MBDA], the Economics and Statistics 

Administration [ESA], the Bureau of the Census, the National 

Telecommunications and Information Administration [NTIA], the 

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office [USPTO], the National Institute 

of Standards and Technology [NIST], and the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration [NOAA]; (2) the Department of Justice; (3) several independent science agencies: the Office of Science 

and Technology Policy [OSTP], the National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration [NASA], the National Science Foundation [NSF]; 

and (4) several related commissions and agencies: the Commission 

on Civil Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 

[EEOC], the International Trade Commission [ITC], the Legal 

Services Corporation [LSC], the Marine Mammal Commission, the 

U.S. Trade Representative [USTR], and the State Justice Institute 

[SJI]. 

SUMMARY OF THE BILL

The Committee recommends total discretionary appropriations of $60,139,000,000 for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, 

science, and related agencies for fiscal year 2011. This amount is 

$400,000,000 below the President’s budget request. 

Security.—First and foremost, this bill protects our Nation and 

our communities from terrorism and violent crime. 

Counterterrorism.—The bill funds the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI], our country’s domestic counterterrorism agency. The 

Committee recommendation fully supports the FBI’s lead role in securing domestic national security by safeguarding the United 

States against weapons of mass destruction, terrorist attacks, and 

internal espionage. Accordingly, the recommendation supports initiatives totaling $480,279,000, which is $25,179,000 above the fiscal 

year 2010 level to improve intelligence, including the addition of 

agents devoted to counterterrorism efforts. Through the Committee’s full support, agents will be provided with the tools to improve 

intelligence driven investigations. 

A key FBI security mission is to prevent the use of weapons of 

mass destruction on U.S. soil. The Committee supports this effort 

by providing the full budget request of $501,100,000 which is an increase of $49,100,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level, to enhance 

weapons of mass destruction response, providing the FBI with significant resources to detect, identify, and track individuals that 

pose threats to the United States. Further, the Committee fully 

supports the FBI in its efforts to save potentially millions of lives 
4 

by improving its ability to dismantle dirty bombs through its 

Render Safe program. 

Fighting Violent Crime.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$3,737,285,000 for State and local law enforcement, which is 

$259,936,000 above the President’s request. The Committee’s recommendation includes $400,000,000 for Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] hiring grants to put 1,777 new officers on the 

beat and $520,000,000 for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants. 

The Committee’s recommendation also includes a record 

$468,000,000 in funding for Violence Against Women Act [VAWA] 

programs to combat domestic and dating violence, sexual assault 

and stalking. The Committee recommends $166,000,000 to 

strengthen State and local government DNA collection and analysis 

systems, which is vital to successfully prosecuting the guilty and 

protecting the innocent from wrongful conviction. The Committee 

recommendation provides $50,000,000 for activities authorized 

under the Second Chance Act of 2007 to facilitate the successful reentry of prisoners into communities following incarceration. 

The Committee’s recommendation ensures that the FBI has sufficient resources to support its duel mission to fight both traditional 

crime and terrorism. The Committee is pleased to note that the 

budget request does not propose to reduce the number of special 

agents devoted to criminal investigations, as it has done in prior 

years. The Committee is concerned that the FBI must have sufficient resources to address emerging criminal investigation requirements, including those to address violent crime and other crimes 

against our most vulnerable individuals. Accordingly, the Committee provides the President’s full budget request of $535,000,000 

to support 143 additional special agents, 157 attorneys, and 385 

professional staff to investigate mortgage fraud. 

Fighting Crimes Against Children.—The Committee has provided 

substantial resources to protect our children from predators. The 

recommendation includes $399,100,000 for Department of Justice 

efforts to prevent, investigate, and prosecute crimes against children. This recommendation fully supports the critical Adam Walsh 

Child Protection and Safety Act. 

Competitiveness.—This bill makes critical investments in scientific research and technology to improve America’s competitiveness. The Committee has followed the recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences’, ‘‘Rising Above the Gathering Storm’’ 

report, making significant investments in our science agencies that 

will pay dividends for our future. 

Research.—The Committee recommends funding for research 

that will create new products and processes that support job creation. Specifically, the Committee recommends investing over 

$940,806,000 in the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] for highly leveraged research that will contribute to 

the development of new innovative products and processes. The 

Committee also provides over $7,300,000,000 for basic research 

through the National Science Foundation [NSF]. 

Space Exploration and Scientific Discovery.—In 1958, when Sputnik was launched, it inspired quick action on the part of a worried 

Nation. The United States responded with the National Aero-
5 

nautics and Space Administration [NASA] not just as a foreign policy statement but also to support a program of peaceful scientific 

discovery. Today, NASA is still an engine driving America’s economic competitiveness. The Committee’s recommendation provides $19,000,000,000 for 

NASA. This funding is recommended to support a balanced space 

program that will reinvest in scientific discovery to: improve our 

understanding and ability to predict changes in the Earth and its 

climate; make air travel safer and more efficient; and make highest 

and best use of the International Space Station [ISS] laboratory for 

discoveries that will improve life on Earth. The bill makes a real 

investment in the scientists, engineers, and supporting workforce 

inside NASA its partners. It supports the transition of the current 

human spaceflight workforce to a restructured program that will 

build a heavy lift rocket and capsule to reach beyond low-Earth 

orbit, as well as the growing commercial workforce that will deliver 

cargo, and possibly astronauts, to the ISS. These investments in 

NASA will inspire and teach our next generation of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, create jobs today, and fuel the discoveries 

of new products tomorrow. 

Education.—The ‘‘Rising Above the Gathering Storm’’ report emphasized that the future of U.S. competitiveness rests on our Nation’s ability to train the next generation of scientists and engineers. For this reason, the Committee has invested over 

$892,000,000 in NSF education and training programs. This is a 

critical investment to ensure that our Nation leads the world in 

science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from kindergarten to post graduate levels. 

Investing in an Innovation Friendly Government.—The bill provides important funding to ensure that we have a Government that 

protects our inventions. The Committee recommends the full budget request of $2,321,724,000 for the Patent and Trademark Office 

[USPTO] to protect the intellectual property of our inventors. In 

addition, the Committee has provided language to allow the 

USPTO to access up to $100,000,000 in additional fees should they 

become available in fiscal year 2010. The Committee has been troubled by the backlog of patent applications and the time it takes to 

process them. 

Climate Change.—The Commerce, Justice, and science appropriations bill protects our planet by funding the science used to monitor 

and predict changes in Earth’s climate. Through the science conducted at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 

[NASA], the National Science Foundation [NSF], and the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA], this bill funds 

over 80 percent of Federal climate change science. Several satellites that provide critical climate and weather information are on 

borrowed time. For this reason, the Committee has recommended 

over $1,800,000,000 for NASA’s Earth science missions, which will 

put all four Earth science missions recommended by the National 

Academies by 2017 and $641,900,000 for NASA science to better 

understand how the Sun affects the Earth. In addition, the Committee recommends $1,918,796,000 to fund our next generation climate and weather satellites that are important to understanding 

changes in our planet’s climate. 
6 

FIGHTING WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE

The departments, agencies, boards, and commissions funded in 

this bill can and should significantly reduce operating expenses by 

placing greater scrutiny on overhead costs. Savings can and should 

be achieved by reducing non-essential travel, office supply, rent, 

and utility costs. The Committee directs each department, agency, 

board, and commission funded in this bill to develop a plan to reduce such costs by at least 10 percent in fiscal year 2011. Plans to 

achieve this savings in fiscal year 2011 should be submitted to the 

Committee no later than 30 days after enactment of this act. 

The Committee has also reduced official reception and representation funds by more than 25 percent. Modest representation funds 

are provided for agency executives to provide necessary courtesies 

to our diplomatic partners and out of respect for fallen officers, or 

to mark historic occasions such as space exploration missions or 

stunning discoveries. However, savings can and should be achieved 

by reducing the costs of executive meetings, receptions, ceremonies, 

and conferences, and purchasing fewer promotional items such as 

t-shirts, hats, mugs, key chains, and other similar items. 

The Committee is extremely concerned about the persistent pattern of cost overruns and schedule slippages on major projects and 

missions carried out by the agencies within this bill. In addition, 

reports have exposed a culture within many agencies that exhibits 

a lack of accountability and oversight of grant funding. 

Therefore, the Committee has recommended three bill-wide provisions to ensure greater oversight and fiscal responsibility of taxpayer dollars. First, the bill requires each agency to notify the 

Committee immediately upon identification of program cost overruns greater than 10 percent. Second, the bill requires the Inspectors General of the Departments of Commerce and Justice, NASA, 

NSF and the Legal Services Corporation to conduct reviews of 

grant and contract funds to ensure funds are being spent appropriately. 

Third, the bill requires each department, agency, board, and commission funded in this act to report spending on large conferences, 

with costs in excess of $20,000 each, to to the Inspectors General 

for audit. 

Finally, the Committee intends to continue to work with the Government Accountability Office [GAO] to review selected large-scale 

acquisition and construction projects. Specifically, the Committee 

requests that GAO develop a plan for ongoing reviews of such 

projects, with reports to the Committee on a biannual basis. Agencies shall provide access to all necessary data, as determined by 

GAO, in order for the reviews to be completed and provided in a 

timely manner to the Committee. The Committee believes that 

these project status reports are valuable in identifying cost overrun 

and schedule slippage problems early, so they can be addressed immediately. 

REPROGRAMMINGS, REORGANIZATIONS, AND RELOCATIONS

Section 505 contained in the ‘‘General Provisions’’ of title V provides procedures for the reprogramming of funds. To reprogram is 

to change the use of funds from the specific purposes provided for 
7 

in the act and the accompanying report or, in the absence of direction from the Committee on Appropriations, from the specific purposes provided for in the administration’s budget request. Each 

title of the bill has also traditionally included separate provisions 

that define permissible transfers of resources between appropriation accounts. These transfer authority provisions are also pursuant to section 505, and were initiated in the early 1990s to provide 

additional flexibility to the agencies under the subcommittee’s jurisdiction. 

The Committee expects each department and agency to closely 

follow the reprogramming procedures listed in section 505, which 

are the same as provisions that applied in statute during fiscal 

year 2010. These procedures apply to funds provided under this 

act, or provided under previous appropriations acts that remain 

available for obligation or expenditure in fiscal year 2011, or provided from any accounts in the Treasury available to the agencies 

funded by this act. Section 505 requires that the Committee on Appropriations be notified by letter, at least 15 days prior to reprogramming of funds, whether permanent or temporary, in excess 

of $500,000 or 10 percent, whichever is less, between programs, 

projects or activities. This provision is also applicable in cases 

where several activities are involved with each receiving less than 

$500,000. In addition, the Committee is to be notified of reprogramming actions which are less than these amounts if such actions 

would have the effect of: committing the agency to significant funding requirements in future years; increasing funds or personnel by 

any means for any project or activity for which funds have been 

previously denied or restricted by Congress; creating new programs, offices, agencies or commissions or substantially augmenting existing programs, offices, agencies or commissions; relocating offices or employees; or reorganizing offices, programs, or activities. 

The Committee also expects that any items that are subject to 

interpretation will be reported. The Committee is concerned that, 

in some instances, the departments or agencies funded within this 

appropriations act are not adhering to the Committee’s reprogramming guidelines that are clearly set forth in this report and in section 505 of the accompanying bill. The Committee expects that each 

department and agency funded in the bill will follow these notification policies precisely and will not reallocate resources or reorganize activities prior to submitting the required notifications to the 

Committee. 

The reprogramming process is based on comity between the Appropriations Committee and the executive branch. The Commerce, 

Justice, science, and related agencies appropriations bill provides 

specific program guidance throughout this report and tables accompanying the bill. The process is intended to provide flexibility to 

meet changing circumstances and emergency requirements of agencies, if there is agreement between the executive branch and the 

Congress that such a change is warranted. Reprogramming procedures provide a means to agree on adjustments, if necessary, during a fiscal year, and to ensure that the Committee is kept apprised of instances where nonappropriated resources are used to 

meet program requirements, such as fee collections and unobli-
8 

gated balances that were not considered in the development of the 

appropriations legislation. 

In the absence of comity and respect for the prerogatives of the 

Appropriations Committees and Congress in general, the Committee will have no choice but to include specific program limitations and details legislatively. Under these circumstances, programs, projects, and activities become absolutes and the executive 

branch shall lose the ability to propose changes in the use of appropriated funds through the reprogramming process between programs, projects, and activities without seeking some form of legislative action. 

The Committee expects the executive branch departments to 

manage its programs, projects and activities within the levels appropriated. Reprogramming or transfer requests shall be submitted 

only in the case of an unforeseen emergency or situation that could 

not have been anticipated when formulating the budget request for 

the current fiscal year. 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

The Committee directs that all departments and agencies funded 

within this bill shall submit all of their fiscal year 2012 budget justifications concurrently with the official submission of the administration’s budget to Congress. Further, all departments and agencies 

with classified programs funded within this act are directed to submit their classified budget justification documents to the Senate 

Committee on Appropriations, through appropriate means at the 

same time the unclassified budget justifications are transmitted. 

These justifications shall include a sufficient level of detailed 

data, exhibits and explanatory statements to support the appropriations requests, including tables that outline each agency’s programs, projects, and activities for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. The 

Committee directs the chief financial officer of each department or 

agency funded in this act jurisdiction to ensure that adequate justification is given to each increase, decrease, staffing and function 

change proposed in the fiscal year 2012 budget, particularly within 

the departmental operations and management accounts. 

The Committee is concerned that many of the budget submissions are inadequate and necessitate multiple requests for additional information. This process is inefficient and unnecessarily 

delays access to information that is fundamental to the work of the 

Committee. The Committee expects that the fiscal year 2012 submissions will include sufficient detail to justify all programs, 

projects and activities contained in each department, agency or 

commission budget request. Budget justifications are prepared not 

for the use of the agencies but are the primary tool of the Committee to evaluate the resource requirements and proposals requested by the administration. 

NONCAREER PERSONNEL REDUCTIONS-IN-FORCE

The Committee directs departments or agencies funded in the accompanying bill that are planning to conduct a reduction-in-force 

[RIF] to notify the Committee in writing 30 days in advance of the 

date of the proposed personnel action. 
9 

APPROPRIATIONS LIAISONS

The Committee prefers to channel the majority of its inquiries 

and requests for information and assistance through the budget offices or comptroller offices of the departments and agencies which 

it oversees, but reserves the right to call upon any individual or organization in any agency under its jurisdiction. 
(10) 

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

The Committee recommends a total of $8,987,500,000 for the Department of Commerce [DOC]. The recommendation is 

$5,047,723,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level, excluding 

supplemental appropriations, and $20,000,000 above the budget request. 

The Department of Commerce is a major innovation engine for 

this Nation. Few other departments in the U.S. Government have 

all the elements in one place to keep America competitive in this 

new economy. DOC’s science and research programs find new ways 

to solve today’s problems and anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. 

New research brings new technology, and DOC develops new 

standards and partners with industry to keep citizens safe and 

manufacturers on the right track. These new technologies and 

ideas deserve protection, and DOC preserves intellectual property 

for our Nation’s creative thinkers—small and big business alike. 

Once ready for global marketplace, DOC establishes trade agreements, sending new ideas into the marketplace while protecting 

our workers and helping businesses create jobs at home. The Department monitors progress through statistical analysis, economic 

monitoring and periodic census. 

As a leader in America’s competitiveness, DOC needs realistic 

funding, proper management, and oversight to keep the United 

States scientifically relevant and technologically innovative in the 

global marketplace. Yet the Committee is aware that recent spending bills coupled with systemic problems have heightened the enormous fiscal responsibilities already facing the Department and exposed it to further challenges. The Committee’s recommendations 

in this bill ensure that DOC has the funding to carry out its mission and mandates so that this new administration has realistic 

goals for which to be adequately held accountable in the years 

ahead. 

In 2011, the Committee entrusts the Department will ensure 

USPTO has the resources it needs to process applications timely, 

keep staff on board, and continue issuing patents and trademarks 

to give American inventors incentives to stay innovative. 

The Committee will continue to examine NOAA’s satellite programs which have undergone extensive independent reviews after 

experiencing cost overruns, delays, and setbacks. Satellite acquisitions account for approximately one-third of NOAA’s budget, with 

over $819,439,000 requested in 2011. They are critical to predicting 

the weather and observing changes in the Earth’s climate. More 

importantly, satellites help save lives and save the planet. The 

committee wants to know how the Department plans to restructure 
11 

its polar satellite program and maintain proper oversight of all satellite programs and their associated contractors.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $524,265,000. The recommendation is $77,500,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and $10,000,000 below the budget request. 

The Committee recommendations, by function, are displayed in 

the following table:

Offsetting Fee Collections.—The Committee’s recommendation 

adopts the proposed offsetting fee collections of $9,439,000, which 

the Committee believes is realistic and achievable. 

National Export Initiative.—The Committee recognizes the importance of the National Export Initiative [NEI] and supports a 

large majority of the request for this new trade campaign especially 

since the administration followed the Committee’s direction to enhance the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service, a valuable but underutilized asset of the Federal Government. An additional key component of the NEI, which DOC is directed to set as an added priority, 

is better enforcement and compliance of existing trade agreements 

to ensure American exporters can overcome trade barriers overseas. 

U.S. Foreign Commercial Service.—The ranks of the U.S. Foreign 

Commercial Service [FCS] have remained stagnant for several 

years stemming from previous lackluster requests. Now, the FCS 

will serve as the personnel backbone of the NEI, and the Committee directs the Department to increase FCS’s role overseas. 

However, the Committee also cautions the Department to better 

plan for the how ITA will reasonably grow the FSC and incorporate 

such a large influx of new personnel. A preliminary Government 

Accountability Office [GAO] report recently noted that ITA lacks 

key planning elements including a clear sense of strategic direction 

to determine its workforce needs for the NEI. To avoid cost overruns associated with personnel, ITA is directed to provide the Committee with a report within 30 days of enactment of this act that 

will include a detailed workforce plan and tighter cost estimates, 

as well as a specific management plan to how the agencies will 

manage FSC’s financial and workforces resources. 
12 

Appalachian-Turkish Trade Project.—The Committee continues 

to recognize the importance of trade and investment opportunities 

to the Appalachian Region, and it is encouraged by the findings in 

reports that Appalachian firms could find significant trade and investment opportunities, particularly in the energy, hardwood, high 

technology, and transportation sectors, in the Republic of Turkey 

and the surrounding region. In this regard, the Committee supports the Appalachian-Turkish Trade Project [ATTP], a project to 

promote opportunities to expand trade, encourage business interests, stimulate foreign studies, and build a lasting and mutually 

meaningful relationship between Appalachian States and the Republic of Turkey, as well as neighboring countries in the region, 

such as Greece. The Committee commends the FCS for its leadership role in helping to implement the mission of the ATTP. The 

Committee expects the FCS to continue to be a prominent ATTP 

sponsor. 

World Trade Organization.—The Committee is aware of the 

World Trade Organization [WTO] Appellate Body’s January 16, 

2003, ruling regarding the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset 

Act. The Committee directs the Department of Commerce, in consultation with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, to conduct negotiations within the WTO to seek express recognition of 

the existing right of WTO Members to distribute monies collected 

from anti-dumping and countervailing duties as they deem appropriate. The agency shall consult with and provide regular reports, 

every 60 days, to the Senate Committee on Appropriations on the 

negotiations. 

In addition, the Committee directs that negotiations be conducted within the WTO consistent with the negotiating objectives 

contained in the Trade Act of 2002, Public Law 107–210, to maintain strong U.S. trade remedies laws, prevent overreaching by 

WTO Panels and the WTO Appellate Body, and prevent the creation of obligations never negotiated or agreed to by the United 

States. 

The Committee provides $1,100,000 for congressionally designated projects, and directs the ITA to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects that ITA 

will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $113,106,000 for the 

Bureau of Industry and Security [BIS]. The recommendation is 

$12,764,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the same 

as the budget request. 

BIS is the principal agency involved in the development, implementation, and enforcement of export controls for dual-use technologies. The Export Enforcement Division detects, prevents, investigates, and assists in the sanctioning of illegal dual-use exports. 

Amounts provided under this heading match the administration’s 

request for export administration, export enforcement, and management and policy coordination. These funds are provided to ensure BIS has the necessary resources to reduce security threats, 

ensure America’s technological pre-eminence, and improve the recruiting and retention of qualified personnel.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $280,181,000 for the 

Economic Development Administration [EDA]. The recommendation is $12,819,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$6,000,000 below the budget request. 

The EDA provides grants to local governments and nonprofit 

agencies for public works, planning, and other projects designed to 

facilitate economic development. Funding amounts for the two appropriations accounts under this heading are displayed below. 

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $255,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 246,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 240,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $240,000,000 for Economic Development Assistance Programs. The recommendation is 

$15,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and $6,000,000 below 

the budget request. The Committee expects EDA to use all available carryover and prior year recoveries to the maximum extent 

possible. 

The purpose of Economic Development Assistance Programs 

[EDAP] is to stimulate employment and increase incomes in areas 

that are characterized by underutilized resources which, if put to 

productive use, can contribute to greater national productivity and 

balanced national economic growth. The structural economic problems of various geographic areas, though having distinct characteristics, are interrelated. Thus, an effective Federal economic development program must transcend the conventional conceptions of 
15 

urban and rural development by addressing all geographic areas 

within a framework of national priorities and resources. 

The Committee supports the President’s initiatives within economic adjustment grants to further develop regional innovation 

clusters and business incubators, which are intended to leverage 

emerging technologies and research to bolster U.S. competitiveness. 

The Committee is aware of the exceptionally large geographic 

area of Hawaii and the American Pacific, which is served by the 

Hawaii Economic Development Administration office and the increasing demands for services in the area, and recommends increased staff support for this field office.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $280,364,000 for salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $21,340,000 above the 

fiscal year 2010 enacted level and is equal to the budget request. 

This account provides for the salaries and expenses associated with 

the statistical programs of the Bureau of the Census, including 

measurement of the Nation’s economy and the demographic characteristics of the population. These programs are intended to provide 

a broad base of economic, demographic, and social information used 

for decision-making by governments, private organizations, and individuals. 

PERIODIC CENSUSES AND PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $7,065,707,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 986,359,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 964,059,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $964,059,000 for periodic censuses and programs. The recommendation is 

$6,101,648,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$22,300,000 below the budget request. 

This account provides for the constitutionally mandated decennial census and other programs which are cyclical in nature. Additionally, individual surveys are conducted for other Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis. 

Periodic Census Programs.—The Committee’s recommendation 

supports the Bureau’s efforts to improve information security and 

data management, but the Committee remains concerned about the 

Bureau’s ability to contain costs. The Committee’s recommendation 

provides $2,000,000 for the Office of the Inspector General [OIG] 
17 

to continue oversight and audits of the 2010 decennial operations, 

continuing to provide the Bureau and Congress with independent 

recommendations for improving operations which will be useful for 

the next decennial census. 

2020 Decennial Census.—As the 2010 decennial census concludes, preparations are already underway for the 2020 decennial 

census operations. The Committee directs the Bureau to seriously 

examine lessons-learned from this recent decennial census to create 

more cost-effective operations. 

The constitutional mandate to count every person in the United 

States has changed little since the first decennial census in 1790, 

yet the level of Federal spending used to carry out this action has 

expanded exponentially larger than our population has grown, especially over the last few decades. For example, the recent 2010 decennial census will cost taxpayers an estimated $14,800,000,000; 

an increase of 81 percent above the 2000 census level despite the 

fact that the number of households counted only increased by 14 

percent. This juxtaposition reinforces the Committee’s belief that 

decennial census operations have become unwieldy. Moreover, advancements in technology have little effect on improving operational costs, and technical problems during the 2010 census, such 

as inoperable handheld computers, only exacerbated cost overruns. 

Had the Bureau opted to conduct an old fashioned paper-based operation from the beginning, taxpayers might have actually paid less 

for this most recent decennial census. 

Looking forward, the Bureau has a fresh opportunity to prove 

that Government can work smarter and save the taxpayers money 

by streamlining operations, eliminating wasteful processes, providing sounder financial oversight, and taking better advantage of 

technology, especially in information gathering and data management. Therefore, the Committee directs the Bureau to consider 

budgeting for the 2020 decennial census at a level less than the 

2010 Census and further consider spending less than the 2000 Census. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the Bureau shall provide the Committee with a report that includes a 10-year strategic 

and budgetary plan for achieving this goal along with descriptions 

of how the Bureau can save money compared to the 2010 decennial 

census and descriptions of any challenges the Bureau anticipates 

that could prevent it from staying below the 2010 or even the 2000 

spending level.

request. 

The Committee continues to require strong public transparency 

regarding how funds are spent and expects to receive quarterly reports regarding grant activities. The Committee has provided bill 

language to transfer funding to the Office of Inspector General for 

the express purpose of conducting continual audit engagements and 

oversight of BTOP.

UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $1,887,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 2,321,724,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,321,724,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $2,321,724,000 for 

the United States Patent and Trademark Office [USPTO], which is 

equal to the budget request, to be derived from offsetting fee collections. 

USPTO is the central hub of an innovation friendly Government. 

USPTO examines patent applications, grants patent protection for 

qualified inventions, and disseminates technological information 

disclosed in patents. USPTO also examines trademark applications 

and provides Federal registration to owners of qualified trademarks. The USPTO is subject to the policy direction of the Secretary of Commerce, but the agency has independent control of its 

budget, expenditures, personnel, procurement and other administrative and management functions. Patent laws administered by 

the USPTO encourage invention, innovation, and investment. The 

USPTO plays a critical role in promoting the continued development of intellectual property of the Nation. For established companies, new patents improve competitiveness, increase productivity, 

help bring new products and services to market, and create jobs. 

Fee Collections Projections.—The Committee directs the USPTO 

to provide quarterly reports on its projected fee collections and to 

notify the Committee during any month when significant changes 

in such projections prompt serious concern or require drastic budgetary responses. 

Patent Pendency and Backlog.—The Committee remains concerned by the lack of progress toward reducing patent pendency 

and the overall patent backlog. As such the Committee has provided bill language to transfer funding to the Office of Inspector 

General for the express purpose of conducting continual audit engagements and oversight at the USPTO. 

Any deviations from the funding distribution provided for in this 

act, including carryover balances, are subject to the standard reprogramming procedures set forth in section 505 of this act. In addition, 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, the USPTO 

shall submit to the Committee a spending plan for fiscal year 2011. 

This spending plan shall incorporate all carryover balances from 

previous fiscal years, and describe any changes to the patent or 

trademark fee structure. 

Overseas Patent Protection and Small Businesses.—Protecting 

U.S. patents can be very costly when the protection extends to foreign countries especially non-English speaking counties where 

translation is required. Once filed, a company only has 18 months 

to acquire the resources to protect patents overseas. For large companies, this practice is financially manageable, but small businesses must acquire sufficient venture capital to afford international patenting costs, usually at the expense of creating new 

jobs or expanding their innovation on new ventures. Given today’s 

global marketplace, U.S.-only patent holdings are no longer sufficiently lucrative and protection outside the United States may 
20 

mean the difference between success and failure for some companies. One tool that could help these small businesses protect their 

intellectual property would be to establish a revolving Federal fund 

for international patent protection where U.S. companies could 

apply for financial support to help offset patent protection costs. 

The fund could be replenished by the successful return on investment once the patents are awarded and the company grows. 

The Committee directs the Department of Commerce, working 

with the USPTO and the International Trade Administration to 

provide the Committee with a report within 90 days of enactment 

of this act with recommendations on how best to help small businesses with international patent protection. If such a fund is a reasonable option, the Department should recommend an initial level 

of appropriations, and how the fund could be managed. The Department should included suggested criteria for who would be eligible to apply for the program, what criteria companies would be selected to receive funding, and how the fund could become financially self-sufficient. If a fund is not a suitable option, then the Department should provide other suggestions that could achieve the 

same solutions to the problem these small businesses face. 

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $856,600,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 918,900,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 968,100,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $968,100,000 for the 

National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST]. The recommendation is $111,500,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and $49,200,000 above the budget request. 

The recommendation provides that up to $9,000,000 may be 

transferred from the Scientific and Technical Research and Services account to the Working Capital Fund, which the NIST uses to 

purchase equipment for its laboratories. 

NIST’s mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and 

technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve 

our quality of life. It carries out its mission in four complementary 

programs. 

A description of each NIST account and the corresponding Committee recommendation follows in the subsequent three headings.

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 584,500,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 584,500,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $584,500,000. The 

recommendation is $69,500,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and equal to the budget request. 

The Committee’s recommendations are displayed in the following 

table with specific increases described:

Corporate Services ............................................................................................................................................... 17,171 

Total STRS .............................................................................................................................................. 584,500 

The Scientific and Technical Research account funds NIST Laboratories, which provide the measurement science and physical 

standards critical to supporting technology infrastructure for U.S. 

innovation. NIST is one of the science agencies supported by the 

America COMPETES Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–69), doubling 

funding for basic research over 10 years. The recommendation supports many of the administration’s new initiatives, increasing research funding by more than 13 percent over the 2010 fiscal year 

level. 

National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence.—The Committee is 

aware of investments being made to secure our Nation’s national 

and defense industrial base to the growing threat from cyber attacks. While a number of Federal agencies play a role in this important area of information assurance, the Committee notes that 

NIST, as the Nation’s standard setting entity, plays a critical role 

in this area because NIST is the only Federal lab whose mission 

is to collaborate with the private sector on standards. The Committee directs the Director of NIST to establish and operate a National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence [NCCOE] at the level of 

$10,000,000 from within funds provided in addition to $15,500,000 

requested by the administration for Cybersecurity for Emerging 

Technologies and Threats. The NCCOE should be organized to support the full range of cybersecurity requirements of Federal agencies, State and local governments, academia, and the private sector. Its primary focus should be on technology transfer, research 

and development, an information clearinghouse, and certification of 

cyber solutions and systems. The Committee recommends that the 

center include representation from the most relevant Federal Government agencies, key State government-level representation, specifically those States that are home of key Federal agencies with 

strong cyber missions, and include representatives from the academic and private sectors, to ensure that the NCCOE fulfills its 

mission to connect a wide variety of nationally significant cybersecurity efforts. Of the funds provided, $6,650,000 should be for internal NIST requirements to staff and scale up the center, and 

$3,350,000 shall be allocated on a merit-based competitive basis for 

activities with relevant non-Federal entities, with particular interest to States with key private sector partnerships that can help 

NIST develop the standards, protocols and pilot initiatives to help 

ensure cyber defense solutions in key parts of the national economy. 

The Committee includes funding within the amounts provided for 

Strategic Measurement Partnerships for the following congressionally designated projects, and directs the National Institute of 
22 

Standards and Technology to refrain from charging administrative 

costs to these grants. The Committee expects that the National Institute of Standards and Technology will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant.

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 209,600,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 199,600,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $199,600,000 for Industrial Technology Services [ITS]. The recommendation is 

$5,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$10,000,000 below the budget request. Supporting the Nation’s 

manufacturers, especially small businesses, is critical to keeping 

America innovative in a global marketplace. 

The Technology Innovation Program [TIP], created by the America COMPETES Act of 2007, is currently at point of transition. 

While the program provides a unique set of tools to promote technological innovation outside of the normal range of mission oriented government innovation programs. However, at its current 

and projected funding levels, the program is under resourced to 

stimulate widespread transformational technological innovation. 

The Committee therefore provides funding only to continue existing 

awards, and notes that NIST must make a decision about the future of the program that makes highest and best use of limited 

funding. 

CONSTRUCTION OF RESEARCH FACILITIES

The Committee’s recommendation provides $156,706,000 for construction of research facilities. The recommendation is $9,706,000 

above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $31,906,000 above the 

budget request. 

The Committee directs NIST to provide quarterly reports on the 

status of all construction projects. 

The recommendation funds the highest priority safety, capacity, 

maintenance, and repair projects at NIST. 

JILA Expansion.—The Committee provides $2,000,000 for NIST 

to complete the JILA expansion. The Committee provides $48,000,000 for congressionally designated projects, and directs NIST to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects that NIST 

will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant.

The Committee provides separate funding for congressionally 

designated projects listed after the obligation tables for: the National Ocean Service; National Marine Fisheries Service; Oceanic 

and Atmospheric Research, National Weather Service; National 

Environmental, Satellite Data, and Information Service; and Program Support. The Committee directs NOAA to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants and expects NOAA to provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant. 

NOAA NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE

The Committee recommends $501,940,000 for the National 

Ocean Service [NOS]. NOS programs provide scientific, technical, 

and management expertise to promote safe navigation; assess the 

health of coastal and marine resources; respond to natural and 

human-induced threats; and preserve the coastal ocean and global 

environments.

Integrated Ocean Observing System [IOOS].—The Committee recommends a total of $33,600,000 for IOOS, of which $6,555,000 is 

for program administration; $24,000,000 is for a competitive, regional ocean observing systems solicitation of which any such solicitation should permit submission of one or more proposals from academic-based nonprofit organizations whose members cover three or 

more regions of the country; and $5,000,000 is for external funding 

to test and advance marine sensor technologies which includes, but 

is not limited to, supporting the existing consortium of sensor test 

beds already working with NOAA. While the Committee appreciates the administration’s request of marine sensor funding as 

part of the NOS portfolio, the Committee is concerned that such 

funding was requested as a new initiative within the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science [NCCOS] rather than in IOOS 
28 

where sensor technology has received extensive support and direction from Congress. 

IOOS continues to demonstrate the value of regional partnerships to NOAA even as recently as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 

NOAA’s trajectory forecasts of surface oil movement would not 

have been as accurate without the aid of IOOS’s network of buoys 

and other marine instruments broadcasting constant environment 

information. Before NOAA embarks on new regional initiatives, the 

Committee directs the agency to strengthen existing programs 

within NOS that already partner with coastal and Great Lake 

States as part of their core mission. 

Coastal Services Center.—The Committee’s recommendation pro- vides $29,995,000, of which $5,000,000 is for the Pacific Coastal 

Services Center which was reduced dramatically in the administration’s request. The remainder of the increased funding is for the 

gulf coast and west coast service centers, and for requested new 

initiatives. 

The Committee appreciates the administration’s new request for 

the Gulf of Mexico Marine Elevation Pilot program which champions the regional geospatial modeling grants. The Committee provides an additional $3,000,000 for a total of $5,000,000 for NOAA 

to continue issuing external competitive grants to researchers and 

resource managers to develop models or geographic information 

systems using existing geodetic, coastal remote sensing data, terrestrial gravity measurements, or other physical datasets. 

Ocean Health Initiative.—The Committee is disappointed with 

the administration’s reduction in this valuable national program, 

and restores the fiscal year 2010 level of $4,000,000. 

NOAA’s Oceans and Human Health Initiative [OHHI] is crucial, 

producing valuable tools and important environmental information 

to help ensure safe beaches, seafood, recreational and drinking 

waters, and has promoted the discovery of new pharmaceuticals 

with beneficial health products. New scientific knowledge and practical applications have greatly exceeded the relatively modest investment over recent years. However, the administration’s abysmal 

request of only $1,000,000 continues to ignore Congress’s recommendations about this program in previous years. This funding 

level does not maintain the program as anticipated by the Oceans 

and Human Health Act nor does it prepare our country for the 

ocean health risks facing our coastal and Great Lake communities. 

NOAA is directed to provide the Committee, within 60 days of enactment of this act, an updated programmatic plan, that includes 

realistic budget figures and justifications, on how NOAA and its 

Federal OHHI partners (the National Science Foundation and the 

National Institutes of Health) will create a more unified and more 

robust OHHI program. 

Response and Restoration.—The Committee is encouraged by 

NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration’s [ORR] operational 

leadership demonstrated at the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. ORR 

has many seasoned professionals experienced in responding to hazardous spills across the country. ORR advises the U.S. Coast Guard 

and incident leaders on cleanup options, as well as advises affected 

Federal, State and local partners on sensitive marine resources at 

risk. However, the duration of this spill has demonstrated that the 
29 

dedicated staff within ORR are over-extended. The Committee is 

concerned that NOAA would struggle to respond to multiple significant hazardous spills simultaneously across the country given the 

relatively low amount of personnel and resources under the current 

funding level. Therefore, the Committee recommends additional 

funding to reinforce and build core capabilites. NOAA is directed 

to provide the Committee with a long-term budget plan that reflects an updated and more realistic core staffing and resource profile based on lessons learned from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 

By the summer 2011, the Gulf of Mexico Disaster Response Center [DRC] will be operational and become the scientific coordination 

center for the gulf coast region, serving as a premier coastal crisis 

support facility. The DRC will allow NOAA to apply relevant coastal and maritime services to support emergency decision makers 

whether they be public health officials, on-scene coordinators, fire 

chiefs, emergency management directors, or national security officials. Since the administration neglected to provide funding for this 

regional center, the Committee recommends $2,900,000 for initial 

operations, and expects NOAA to appropriately staff and fund the 

DRC in out-years to achieve operational capacity as the gulf coast 

hub for NOAA’s emergency preparedness, response, and recovery 

operations. 

NOAA NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE

The Committee’s recommendation provides $909,029,000 for the 

National Marine Fisheries Service [NMFS]. NMFS programs provide for the management and conservation of the Nation’s living 

marine resources and their environment, including fish stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species. Using science-based conservation, management, and restoration activities, these resources 

can benefit the Nation on a sustained basis. NMFS seeks to build 

sustainable fisheries, recover protected species, and sustain healthy 

coastal ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.

Fisheries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund [AFF].—A July 2010 

review by the Office of Inspector General revealed a serious lack 

of budgetary oversight of NOAA’s Fisheries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund which was established to use revenues from fisheries 

fines and penalties to pay for enforcement activities. Record keeping was so poor that an independent accounting firm found insufficient budget tracking information to complete their audit. In fact, 

no single responsible individual within NOAA had a detailed understanding of the fund, and revenues clearly co-mingled with 

other NOAA finances. Yet, the firm found that NOAA appeared to 

have little trouble disbursing monies, at times paying for items 

only loosely related to fisheries enforcement, such as international 

travel to attend overseas workshops. The complete lack of budgetary oversight could also mean the agency is in violation of Federal law since the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that AFF revenues related to Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan 
31 

specially be used to enforce that plan, a requirement of which key 

NOAA personnel were not specifically aware. The Committee provides bill language that essentially freezes the fund until NOAA 

completes a full and complete audit, creates a plan for how the 

fund can and should be used, and receives approval from the Committee for its spend plan. Before the committee approves any new 

plan from NOAA for the AFF, NOAA must complete all of the Inspector General’s recommendations submitted with the July 2010 

report. NOAA is also directed to include the AFF in all future fiscal 

year budget requests. 

Chesapeake Bay Oyster Restoration.—The Committee provides $3,000,000 for oyster restoration in the Chesapeake Bay. Of these 

funds, $2,000,000 is provided for oyster restoration in the Maryland waters of the Chesapeake Bay which shall be for on-theground and in-the water restoration efforts. In addition, $1,000,000 

of these funds are for oyster restoration in Virginia waters of the 

Chesapeake Bay. Funds shall not be used for administrative costs, 

including banquets or salaries. 

Protected Species.—In addition to the amounts requested, the 

Committee provides programmatic increases for: Hawaiian Monk 

Seal activities for a total of $5,700,000; Hawaiian Sea Turtle and 

Incident Take activities for a total of $6,000,000; the study and protection of cetaceans in the Pacific for a total of $1,500,000. The 

Committee also provides additional funding for a total of 

$2,244,000 for NOAA’s Alaska Native Marine Mammal Co-management Support of Alaska Native Organizations as authorized under 

the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The Committee also encourages NOAA to support additional research on Atlantic bottlenose 

dolphins. 

Fisheries Research and Management.—The Committee provides 

an increase to the President’s request for the Joint Institute of Marine and Atmospheric Research [JIMAR] Pelagic Fisheries Research Program [PFRP] for a total funding level of $2,500,000. 

NMFS Facilities.—Within 60 days of enactment of this act, 

NOAA is directed to provide the Committee a report detailing a full 

analysis of relocating the NMFS northeast regional office. This central office serves the eastern seaboard from Maine to North Carolina, and as far west as Minnesota. Better centrally locating the facility in an area close to NMFS headquarters would allow greater 

coordination with senior manaagement of NOAA and the Department of Commerce. The Committee believes this will provide for efficiencies and enhance management, while still maintaining a 

strong regional presence. NOAA is also directed to produce a report 

within 120 days of enactment of this act detailing the planning and 

design for a new NMFS research facility in Mukilteo, Washington, 

on the former U.S. Air Force property which was transferred to 

NOAA in fiscal year 2002. 

Survey and Monitoring Projects.—Within the funds provided, 

NOAA is directed to fully fund the stock assessment survey and 

vessel calibration for the east coast clam fishery using an industry 

vessel since NOAA no longer has an agency-operated fisheries vessel able to conduct this work. 

The Committee directs NOAA to provide $350,000 for further red 

tide research, and to work with its State marine resource partners 
32 

in Maine to expand and continue the red tide sampling program 

initiated with Federal disaster funds following the devastating 

2005 red tide season. 

Sustainable Habitat Management.—The Committee provides an additional $750,000 for NOAA, working with the Department of 

Defense, to assess environmental impacts and develop mitigation 

strategies to restore lost habitat related to the proposed relocation 

of troops to Guam. 

Fishery Capacity Reduction Program.—The Committee provides $8,000,000 to reduce the fishing capacity in the Northeast Multispecies Fishery, also known as the New England groundfishery. 

This reduction will enable the fishery to become more sustainable 

for the future as NOAA transitions the area’s fishery to a catch 

share program. 

Observer/Training.—In addition to the amounts requested, the 

Committee provides programmatic increases for Hawaiian Longline 

Observer Program for a total of $5,000,000. 

Regional Studies.—The Committee is encouraged by the administration’s increased request for regional studies, but continues to direct NOAA’s Chesapeake Bay Office to collaborate with the States 

of Maryland and Virginia. This program will advance multiple species management by focusing on blue crabs, oysters, other resource 

species. In developing this program NOAA shall continue to utilize 

the Sea Grant Programs from both States and with the National 

Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, particularly the Cooperative 

Oxford Laboratory [COL]. Chesapeake Bay oyster restoration and 

spatial planning should serve as an incentive for both labs to work 

more closely together to achieve joint science and management 

goals. NOAA is directed to provide the Committee with a report 

within 60 days of enactment of this act detailing a clear strategic 

partnership between NOAA Chesapeake Bay Laboratory and COL, 

complete with collaborative breakouts on personnel, resources and 

costs. 

Gulf of Mexico Fisheries.—The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has 

severely impacted the fisheries of the Gulf of Mexico, and the longterm impact on individual stocks remains unknown. In the past, 

this Committee has requested that NOAA fully solicit, evaluate, 

and incorporate fishery-independent survey information. Unfortunately, the absence of this information significantly impedes the assessment of the immediate impact of the spill on Gulf stocks, as 

well as the ability to predict long-term impacts. In addition, the 

fisheries closure has eliminated the collection of landing data from 

either the commercial or recreational fisheries sectors—the other 

primary source of stock information. The absence of fishery-dependent data collection highlights the continued need for surveys that 

provide a scientifically designed assessment approach that is independent of catch data. The Committee therefore again encourages 

NOAA to fully implement a fishery-independent data collection 

strategy and directs the agency to report to the Committee on the 

status of that implementation within 30 days of enactment of this 

act. 

Lasting negative impacts of the Deepwater Horizon spill will result in habitat destruction in the Gulf of Mexico. While fish populations may be partially lost during the active spill period, their re-
33 

covery is dependent on viable habitats. A full and complete evaluation of damage to five major habitats in the north central Gulf of 

Mexico is needed. These habitats include: seagrasses, coastal 

marshes, oyster reefs, hard bottom, and sargassum communities. 

This assessment should include relative percent of destruction, degree of damage, estimated timeframe for recovery, and possible 

sources of mitigation. The Committee expects NMFS, in coordination with the impacted States, to undertake a full study of the 

long-term negative impacts of the Deepwater Horizon spill on fisheries habitat in the northern Gulf of Mexico and to seek reimbursement for the costs from the responsible parties. 

NOAA OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH

The Committee’s recommendation provides $438,710,000 for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research [OAR]. OAR programs provide the 

environmental research and technology needed to improve NOAA 

weather, air quality warnings, forecasts, climate predictions, and 

marine services. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, 

and joint institutes and partnership programs.

Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes.—The Committee remains concerned that NOAA is underfunding new cooperative institutes, creating partnership with the external community under 

false financial pretenses. The Committee provides an increase to 
34 

help bridge this gap, but expects the administration to fully fund 

these cooperative institutes and laboratories at appropriate levels 

in future years. 

National Sea Grant College Program.—The Committee provides $63,100,000, of which $4,500,000 is for marine aquaculture research and $2,000,000 is for aquatic invasive species research; both 

activities shall be coordinated by NOAA’s Sea Grant office. The 

Committee continues to recognize the important role the Sea Grant 

program plays in connecting coastal and Great Lakes communities 

with practical research and results, and encourages the growth of 

this program in future budget requests. 

Ocean Exploration.—The Committee continues to fund the Ocean 

Exploration program and the National Undersea Research Program 

separately, as these are two distinctly different activities, a consideration that was reinforced by the separate authorizations in the 

recent Omnibus Public Lands Management Act (Public Law 111– 

11). The Committee provides additional funding for Ocean Exploration to further support ongoing shipboard operations and collaborative expeditions. 

NOAA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE

The Committee’s recommendation provides $919,686,000 for the 

NOAA National Weather Service [NWS]. NWS programs provide 

timely and accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic 

warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic productivity of the 

Nation. NWS is also responsible for issuing operational climate 

forecasts for the United States.

National Centers for Environmental Prediction [NCEP].—The 

Committee encourages NCEP to continue to improve the performance of its computer modeling for weather, climate, hydrological 

and ocean prediction to ensure U.S. forecasting capabilities lead 

the world. The Committee encourages NCEP to fully draw upon the 

resources of the U.S. academic community to better implement 

emerging scientific and technological advances. 

Williston Radar.—The Committee remains concerned about the 

ability of the National Weather Service [NWS] to adequately forecast weather, especially snow events, without the Williston radar. 

NOAA is directed to continue operations and staffing at the 

Williston Radar Station until independent research substantiates 

that any other radars in the forecast area can provide coverage for 

all light and heavy weather activity in the region. 

National Mesonet Program.—The Committee recommends 

$20,400,000 for continuation and expansion of the National 

Mesonet program. Funds shall be allocated as follows: (1) 

$13,400,000 to maintain data procurements from existing surface 

in-situ observations including those initiated during the initial 

phases of the program as well as those added during recent years; 

(2) $4,000,000 for expansion of surface in-situ observations in all 

areas of the country including urban and non-urban rural, coastal 

and mountainous regions for purposes of weather and climate monitoring; (3) $2,000,000 for establishment of a National Mesonet Test 

Bed Project to demonstrate the integration of multifunctional observing systems including both surface in-situ and remote sensing 

profilers for improved forecasts and benefits to such top priority 

segments of our economy including renewable energy growth and 

aviation efficiencies; (4) $500,000 for enhancements to the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System [MADIS] including continued evolution of metadata handling and performance capabilities; 

and (5) $500,000 for National Mesonet program office for oversight 

and data utilization initiatives. Funds for MADIS expansion should 

be contingent upon submission of a plan that shows a multi-year 

justification for why MADIS expansion is preferable to competitive 

procurement of tools developed by the private sector for the same 

purpose. The Committee is deeply disappointed that the fiscal year 

2011 budget request ignored the 2009 National Research Council 

report, Observing Weather and Climate From the Ground Up: A 

Nationwide Network of Networks, which called for the establishment of a federally funded national mesonet program and expects 

NOAA to include in its fiscal year 2012 budget a robust and expanded national mesonet program. 
36 

NOAA NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE, DATA, AND

INFORMATION SERVICE

The Committee’s recommendation provides $199,363,000 for National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service 

[NESDIS]. NESDIS programs operate environmental polar-orbiting 

and geostationary satellites and collect and archive global environmental data and information for distribution to users in commerce, 

industry, agriculture, science and engineering, the general public, 

and Federal, State, and local agencies.

Archive, Access and Assessment.—The Committee is aware of the 

importance of NOAA’s climate data modernization program as 

NOAA seeks to take an enhanced role in climate change research 

and analysis. As such, it directs the Agency to submit a robust 

2012 request for this program at a level not less than that enacted 

in fiscal year 2010. 

Regional Climate Centers.—The Committee recommends 

$3,000,000 for the Regional Climate Centers. The Committee expects NOAA to include the centers as part of the Agency’s future 

climate change activities and to provide for full participation in 

high capacity networks such as NWave. 

NOAA-WIDE PROGRAM SUPPORT

The Committee recommendation provides $459,183,000 for 

NOAA-wide program support. These programs provide for overall 

NOAA management, including staffing of the Under Secretary’s office and services to NOAA and DOC field offices through the regional Administrative Support Centers. These programs also sup-
37 

port NOAA’s Education Office consistent with the recommendations of the Joint Ocean Commission. The facilities subactivity provides for repair and maintenance to existing facilities; facilities 

planning and design; and environmental compliance. The Office of 

Marine and Aviation Operations provides aircraft and marine data 

acquisition, repair, and maintenance of the existing fleet, planning 

of future modernization, and technical and management support 

for NOAA-wide activities through the NOAA Commissioned Corps.

NOAA Education.—The Committee strongly supports NOAA’s 

education programs to increase environmental and ocean literacy 

and recommends $28,400,000 to the budget request for competitive 

education grants, of which $14,400,000 is for NOAA’s Educational 

Partnership Program for Minority Serving Institutions. Within the 

remaining funds, NOAA is directed to use $3,000,000 of these 

funds to continue education and public outreach opportunities with 

accredited zoos and aquariums, an initiative created in fiscal year 

2011. NOAA is also directed to use $3,000,000 to work with external partners with experience in geographic education to improve 

geography teaching, training and research in our Nation’s schools 

starting by using NOAA’s national network of weather and environmental activities across the country as one tool to improve geography literacy. 

B–WET.—The committee provides $7,200,000 for NOAA’s successful regional B–WET education partnership program, of which, 

no less than $1,500,000 shall be for Hawaii’s B–WET program, and 

no less than $3,500,000 shall be for the Chesapeake B–WET program. 
38 

Marine Services.—The Committee is concerned that NOAA’s 

budget does not properly reflect the true operational need of 

NOAA’s fleet of research vessels and that days at sea are eroding 

from the science schedules. The Committee provides additional 

funding to help ensure safe and adequate shipboard staffing and 

outfitting.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $2,084,963,000 for 

NOAA’s procurement, acquisition, and construction. The recommendation is $726,610,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and $99,128,000 below the budget request. 

The Committee provides separate funding for congressionally 

designated projects listed after the obligation table for the Procurement, Acquisition and Construction appropriation and directs 

NOAA to refrain from charging administrative costs to these 

grants. The Committee expects that NOAA will provide appropriate 

management and oversight of each grant.

TOTAL PAC .......................................................................................................................................... 2,085,388 

Joint Polar Satellite System [JPSS].—The Committee’s recommendation includes funding for the Joint Polar Satellite System 

within ‘‘NOAA Satellite and Climate Sensors’’. Of the funds made 

available, priority shall be given to ensuring the 2014 launch date 

of JPSS–1 with focus on minimizing the potential gap in civil 

weather forecasting. The Committee is encouraged by the administration’s decision to restructure the highly troubled National Polarorbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System [NPOESS] 

and believes that the agency’s initial step to procure a second 

NPOESS Preparatory Project [NPP] satellite for JPSS–1 is a strong 

step in the right direction for reducing risk and minimizing the potential gap in civil weather forecasting and climate data collection. 

However, the Committee is not convinced that the legacy of cost 

overruns and enormous administrative overheads associated with 

this inflated and failed program have been entirely exorcized. 

While the Committee appreciates the administration’s efforts to request contingency funding that appears to better manage large acquisitions risk, the vague budget submission is riddled with broad 

placeholders that have yet to be refined despite repeated requests 

from the Committee for further details. The Committee has difficulty understanding how the administration can add $678,600,000 

to a $382,200,000 satellite program in 1 year—which is a 278 percent increase—when the budget justification lacks meaningful details and extremely critical contract decisions have yet to be made 

6 months after the budget was released. In addition, the administration has completely dismissed congressional guidance that 

NOAA procure operational satellites able to acquire reliable weather forecasting data, not risky experimental research satellites best 

suited for NASA. The Committee remains deeply concerned about 

the potential out year costs of the proposed JPSS program, recognizing that without aggressive oversight and fiscal vigilance, this 

program has the potential to overwhelm the remainder of NOAA’s 

future budgets. The Committee directs NOAA to provide a smaller, 

less expensive path forward for JPSS in a detailed budget plan no 

later than 30 days after enactment of this act, and directs NOAA 

to provide monthly programmatic and procurement status reports 

to the Committee. 

DSCVR/ACE Replacement.—The Committee has provided 

$9,500,000 for DSCVR and replacement of the ACE spacecraft, the 

same amount as requested. The Committee directs NOAA to report 

to the Committees on Appropriations by February 15, 2011 on the 

most expeditious and cost effective options for making DSCVR 

operational and replacing the ACE spacecraft.

TITLE II 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

The Committee recommends a total of $29,896,095,000 for the 

Department of Justice [DOJ]. The recommendation is 

$1,818,411,000 above the fiscal year 2010 funding level, excluding 

emergency supplemental appropriations, and $159,580,000 above 

the budget request. 

Staying in Front of Emerging Technologies.—With the advent of 

third and fourth generation communication networks, Americans 

will enjoy more flexibility, capabilities, and choices in when, where, 

and how they communicate than ever before. These technological 

advances will drive innovation and development across the economy. However, as witnessed by terrorists’ use of BlackBerry devices in the recent tragedy in Mumbai, India, criminals are also 

capitalizing on emerging communications technologies. In the 

United States, State, local, and Federal law enforcement have used 

electronic surveillance to track down, apprehend, and prosecute 

members of drug trafficking organizations, violent transnational 

gangs, and child pornography and prostitution rings. The Attorney 

General’s recent announcement of Operation Deliverance is one example of such success. 

The Committee is concerned that with the rapid deployment of 

telecommunications and data communications technology, law enforcement does not have the ability to keep up with these technological changes, impacting collection, and surveillance capabilities. 

Without a proactive approach to addressing these technological 

gaps, criminal investigations will be crippled. The Committee directs the Attorney General to report to the Committee no later 

than 120 days after enactment of this act on whether the Department of Justice has the resources it needs to preserve law enforcement’s electronic surveillance capabilities in the face of third and 

fourth generation communication technologies. If not, the Committee directs the Attorney General to provide recommendations on 

what resources are necessary to ensure that Federal law enforcement agencies, as well as State and local law enforcement, maintain the technological capabilities to conduct lawful electronic surveillance. 

DNA Analysis Quality Standards.—The Committee has reviewed 

the recent NIJ report titled ‘‘Making Sense of DNA Backlogs— 

Myths vs. Reality’’ and agrees with the findings that backlogs are 

not a onetime event and that the solution is to increase the capacity of the Nation’s crime labs to respond to the increase of DNA evidence. However, the Committee is concerned that the desire to 

eliminate backlogs may result in decisions that could jeopardize the 

quality of the analysis being done. The Committee expects, therefore, that all Federal funds spent on the analysis of DNA must 
48 

comply with quality assurance practices required of an National 

DNA Index System [NDIS]-participating laboratory including, but 

not limited to, the FBI’s quality assurance standards for forensic 

DNA testing laboratories; standard 1 (scope) through standard 17 

(outsourcing), including the external audit review process; Office of 

Inspector General audits; and National DNA Index System assessments by FBI Combined DNA Index System CODIS units, as well 

as compliance with all other forensic accreditation standards required by internationally recognized accrediting bodies. 

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $118,488,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 1 ......................................................................... 223,336,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 149,565,000 

1 Includes $10,778,000 for acquisition workforce capacity and capabilities that was requested 

within title II General Provisions. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $149,565,000 for General Administration salaries and expenses. The recommendation is 

$31,627,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$71,771,000 below the budget request. 

The General Administration account provides funding for senior 

policy officials responsible for Departmental management and policy development. The specific offices funded by this account include 

the following: the immediate Office of the Attorney General; the 

immediate Office of the Deputy Attorney General; the immediate 

Office of the Associate Attorney General; Office of Legal Policy; Office of Public Affairs; Office of Legislative Affairs; Office of Professional Responsibility; Office of Intergovernmental and Public Liaison; and the Justice Management Division. 

Terrorism Prosecutions of Guantanamo Bay Detainees.—The 

Committee’s recommendation does not include $72,771,000 requested for the anticipated first year costs for security, litigation, 

housing, and transportation associated with the civilian trials of 

the five alleged conspirators of the 9/11 terrorist attacks currently 

held in detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay. This reduction reflects the fact that the administration has not submitted a plan to 

prosecute these cases. 

Acquisition Improvements.—The Committee supports the goals of 

the Government-wide request for improvements to acquisition 

workforce capabilities and capacities. These activities may be funded from within amounts provided, up to $10,778,000. 

Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin 

Americans of Japanese Descent.—The Committee’s recommendation 

provides $1,700,000 for the activities authorized by section 540 of 

this act. 

NATIONAL DRUG INTELLIGENCE CENTER

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 44,580,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 44,580,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $44,580,000 for the 

National Drug Intelligence Center [NDIC]. The recommendation is 
49 

$557,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the 

budget request. 

JUSTICE INFORMATION SHARING TECHNOLOGY

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $88,285,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 179,785,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 165,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $165,000,000 for Justice Information Sharing Technology. The recommendation is 

$76,715,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$14,785,000 below the budget request. 

Cyber Security.—The Committee’s recommendation includes 

$32,100,000 as requested, to strengthen DOJ’s cyber security program. The Committee supports the Department’s efforts to better 

protect its networks and other information technology assets and 

hopes that these resources will allow DOJ to achieve the same success in cyber security implementation as it has achieved on its 

FISMA report card. 

LAW ENFORCEMENT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $206,143,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 207,727,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 207,727,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $207,727,000 for Tactical Law Enforcement Wireless Communications. The recommendation is $1,584,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level 

and equal to the budget request. 

This account centrally funds development, acquisition, deployment, operation and maintenance of the Justice Department’s 

narrowband wireless communications network. 

IWN Funding.—The Department of Justice has warned repeatedly that failure to modernize and replace the antiquated patchwork of legacy DOJ component radio systems will jeopardize the 

safety of Federal agents in the field and impede their ability to protect the country from terrorism, espionage and violent crime. Because of its projected cost, scope and mission criticality, the Department maintains that the IWN program is one of its single most important current investments. 

However, the request for IWN does not sufficiently address the 

Department’s communications deficiencies, security vulnerabilities 

and system reliability, and will contribute to the ongoing delays in 

the nationwide deployment of their consolidated wireless radio solution. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Department to use 

these funds for accelerated IWN deployment in high priority metropolitan regions and interim solutions along the Southwest border. 

The Committee recognizes the need to modernize and upgrade 

aging and failing systems along the Southwest border and in other 

high threat areas of the country. 

Consistent with direction in the explanatory statements accompanying Public Law 111–117, all funds for IWN should be spent on 

modernization and improvement of land mobile radio [LMR] systems. Any plans related to secure cellular or data systems, or nonLMR tactical equipment, must be budgeted for and requested separately. To aid in program management and oversight, the Depart-
50 

ment is directed to continue submitting quarterly reports to the 

Committee on the Department’s progress and achievement in meeting the established performance milestones for the use of IWN 

funds. Continued funding support for IWN in future years will be 

contingent on the Department’s success in achieving its milestones 

within cost, schedule and performance expectations. 

The Committee notes that the Department has fallen behind 

schedule and has not submitted the IWN quarterly reports to the 

House and Senate Appropriations Committees in a timely fashion. 

The Committee is also concerned that components of the Department sole-source LMR contracts that may not be Project-25 compliant, yet communications and interoperable grants administered by 

the Department require the equipment to be compliant. The Department should ensure components are purchasing P–25 compliant equipment, and is directed to detail these efforts in the quarterly reports. 

The Committee supports the broadest possible use of IWN across 

law enforcement agencies. However, the Department does not have 

the budgetary resources to fund other agencies’ use of the network. 

Should other agencies choose to use the network, they should assume the full cost of their participation. 

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AND APPEALS

Appropriations, 2010 1 ........................................................................... $296,685,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 1 ......................................................................... 315,220,000 

Committee recommendation 1 ............................................................... 315,420,000 

1 Net of a $4,000,000 transfer from the USCIS Immigration Examiners Fee Account. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $315,420,000 for Administrative Review and Appeals. The recommendation is 

$18,735,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $200,000 

above the budget request. 

This account funds the Executive Office for Immigration Review 

[EOIR], including the Board of Immigration Appeals, immigration 

judges, and administrative law judges who decide through administrative hearings whether to admit or exclude aliens seeking to 

enter the country, and whether to deport or adjust the status of 

aliens whose status has been challenged. This account also funds 

the Office of the Pardon Attorney which receives, investigates, and 

considers petitions for all forms of executive clemency. 

Immigration and Southwest Border Initiative.—The Committee’s 

recommendation includes the requested increase of $11,039,000 in 

the budget for EOIR’s Immigration and Southwest Border Initiative to add 21 Immigration Judge Teams, 10 Board of Immigration 

Appeals [BIA] attorneys, and related immigration court and BIA 

support staff. 

EOIR receives cases directly from Department of Homeland Security [DHS] enforcement personnel, in which the Government is 

seeking the removal of aliens who are in the United States without 

lawful status or who have committed some act, typically a criminal 

offense, that renders them removable. EOIR’s immigration court 

caseload continues to increase to unsustainable levels as a result 

of heightened and border enforcement efforts. The caseload grew 30 

percent between fiscal year 2004 and 2009, from 300,000 to 

390,000 new matters coming to EOIR for resolution each year. The 
51 

number of new cases is expected to exceed 400,000 annually by 

2011. Increased funding will enhance EOIR’s ability to provide 

timely adjudications, thus enabling DHS to process those found removable immediately upon completion of their sentences, and assisting greatly in the efficient use of detention beds. 

Legal Orientation Program [LOP].—The Committee recommendation includes $6,200,000, an increase of $200,000, to cover the costs 

associated with the recent implementation and expansion of the 

LOP. The Committee encourages EOIR to dedicate additional funds 

to the LOP, as necessary and available, to ensure that there is no 

reduction in the level of support for LOP from year to year. 

The Committee continues its strong support of the LOP, which 

provides guidance to detained aliens about their legal rights and 

responsibilities in the immigration court system. Apprehended individuals benefit from better information about immigration removal 

proceedings, and the U.S. taxpayer benefits from reduced detention 

costs through a more efficient legal process. The Committee expects 

EOIR to seek alien-specific detention costs and duration of detention data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to 

develop a more accurate estimate of the cost savings to the Federal 

Government provided by participation in the LOP. 

The Committee’s recommendation includes $2,000,000 for Legal 

Orientation Programs for custodians of unaccompanied alien children to address the custodian’s responsibility for the child’s appearance at all immigration proceedings, and to protect the child from 

mistreatment, exploitation, and trafficking. 

DETENTION TRUSTEE

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $1,438,663,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 1,533,863,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,533,863,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,533,863,000 for 

the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee [OFDT]. The recommendation is $95,200,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and equal to the budget request. 

The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee account provides 

oversight of detention management, and improvement and coordination of detention activities to ensure that Federal agencies involved in detention provide for the safe, secure, and humane confinement of persons in the custody of the United States. 

The Committee remains concerned about the Department’s ability to anticipate the true funding needs for this account. OFDT had 

either not requested sufficient resources to meet its projected needs 

or its projections are too inaccurate to serve as predictors of the annual funding requirements. On several occasions OFDT has had to 

seek Committee approval for reprogrammings to avert deficiencies. 

The Committee directs the Detention Trustee to continue reporting to the Committee on a quarterly basis the number of individuals in the detention trustee system, the projected number of individuals, and the annualized costs associated with them.

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $84,368,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 88,792,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 89,792,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $89,792,000 for the 

Office of the Inspector General. The recommendation is $5,424,000 

above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $1,000,000 above the 

budget request. 

This account finances the activities of the Office of Inspector 

General [IG] including audits, inspections, investigations and other 

reviews of programs and operations of the Department of Justice 

to promote economy, efficiency and effectiveness, and to prevent 

and detect fraud, waste and abuse, as well as violations of ethical 

standards arising from the conduct of Department employees in 

their numerous and diverse activities.

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 13,582,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 13,582,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $13,582,000 for the 

United States Parole Commission. The recommendation is 

$723,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the 

budget request. 

LEGAL ACTIVITIES

GENERAL LEGAL ACTIVITIES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $875,097,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 976,389,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 963,389,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $963,389,000 for General Legal Activities salaries and expenses. The recommendation is 

$88,292,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$13,000,000 below the budget request. 

This appropriation funds the establishment of litigation policy, 

conduct of litigation, and various other legal responsibilities, 

through the Office of the Solicitor General, the Tax Division, the 

Criminal Division, the Civil Division, the Environmental and Natural Resources Division, the Civil Rights Division, the Office of 

Legal Counsel, Interpol-U.S. National Central Bureau, and the Office of Dispute Resolution. 

The Committee strongly supports the additional resources proposed by the Department’s litigation divisions, for which inadequate funding has been proposed in past years. The Committee’s 

recommendation provides $5,300,000 for the Human Trafficking 

and Slavery Prosecution Unit [HTSPU], equal to the budget request, to fight human trafficking and slavery. The Committee is 
53 

also particularly supportive of the additional resources proposed for 

the Civil Rights Division to continue restoring its base capacity to 

enforce civil rights laws; expanding its capacity to prosecute and 

provide litigation support for human trafficking, hate crimes, and 

unsolved civil rights era crimes; carrying out its responsibilities associated with the civil rights of institutionalized persons and the 

access of rights of the disabled; and enhance the enforcement of 

fair housing and fair lending laws. 

The Committee remains concerned by the large number of suspected human rights violators from foreign countries who have 

found safe haven in the United States and directs the Criminal Division to continue increasing efforts to investigate and prosecute serious human rights crimes, including genocide, torture, use or recruitment of child soldiers, and war crimes. For this purpose, within the available funds the Committee directs that $1,800,000 be allocated for attorneys, analysts, and support personnel in the Criminal Division to investigate and prosecute individuals who violate 

Federal laws on serious human rights abuses. 

The Committee recommendations, by Division, are displayed in 

the following table:

Exploited and Missing Children.—The Committee provides an additional $1,500,000 above the request to enhance INTERPOL’s 

efforts to establish a dedicated global unit to fight child exploitation. These resources will assist in enforcing requirements outlined in the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 

(Public Law 109–248) and assist in other initiatives to combat child 

sexual exploitation. 

THE NATIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINE INJURY ACT

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $7,833,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 7,833,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 7,833,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides a reimbursement of 

$7,833,000 for legal costs. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the budget request. 

This account covers Justice Department expenses associated with 

litigating cases under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 

1986 (Public Law 99–660). 
54 

ANTITRUST DIVISION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $163,170,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 167,028,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 167,028,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $167,028,000 for the Antitrust Division. The recommendation is $3,858,000 above the 

fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget request. This 

appropriation is offset by $96,000,000 in pre-merger filing fee collections, resulting in a direct appropriation of $71,028,000. 

UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $1,934,003,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 2,041,269,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,036,269,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $2,036,269,000 for 

the U.S. Attorney’s salaries and expenses. The recommendation is 

$102,266,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$5,000,000 below the budget request. 

As in past years, the Committee directs the U.S. Attorneys 

[USAs] to focus their efforts on those crimes where the unique resources, expertise, or jurisdiction of the Federal Government can be 

most effective. The Committee expects that the resources provided 

be directed to the highest priorities of the USAs. 

Adam Walsh Act Implementation.—The Committee expects 

EOUSA to continue to focus on investigations and prosecutions related to the sexual exploitation of children, as authorized by the 

Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, Public Law 

109–248. Not less than $38,460,000 shall be available for this purpose in fiscal year 2011. 

Combating Financial Fraud.—Within funds provided, the Committee includes the requested programmatic increase of 

$17,200,000 and 109 positions including 88 new attorneys, to enhance efforts in areas of mortgage fraud, bankruptcy, affirmative 

civil enforcement, and white collar crimes. 

Human Trafficking.—The Committee directs the EOUSA, in consultation with the United States Attorneys, to designate a point of 

contact in each U.S. Attorney office who shall serve as the coordinator for all activities within that office concerning human trafficking and slavery matters covered by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Designating a point of contact will improve communication and coordination within each jurisdiction, including with victim service organizations, in order to better serve the victims of 

human trafficking and slavery. 

UNITED STATES TRUSTEE SYSTEM FUND

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $219,250,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 236,435,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 236,435,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $236,435,000 for the 

U.S. Trustee System Fund. The recommendation is $17,185,000 
55 

above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget 

request. The appropriation is offset by $231,435,000 in fee collections and $5,000,000 derived from interest on investments in U.S. 

securities, resulting in a direct appropriation of $0, which is equal 

to the budget request. 

The United States Trustee Program, authorized by 28 U.S.C. 581 

et seq., is the component of the Justice Department with responsibility for protecting the integrity of the bankruptcy system by overseeing case administration and litigation to enforce the bankruptcy 

laws. In fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Trustee Program will participate 

in an estimated 1.6 million business and consumer bankruptcy case 

filings. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT COMMISSION

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $2,117,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 2,159,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,159,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $2,159,000 for the 

Foreign Claims Settlement Commission. The recommendation is 

$42,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the 

budget request. 

The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission settles claims of 

American citizens arising from nationalization, expropriation, or 

other takings of their properties and interests by foreign governments. 

FEES AND EXPENSES OF WITNESSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $168,300,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 270,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 270,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $270,000,000 for fees 

and expenses of witnesses. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $101,700,000 above the budget request. 

This appropriation, which is considered mandatory for 

scorekeeping purposes, provides for fees and expenses of witnesses 

who appear on behalf of the Government in cases in which the 

United States is a party, including fact and expert witnesses. These 

funds are also used for mental competency examinations, as well 

as witness and informant protection. 

Expert Witnesses.—Within funds provided, the Committee includes the requested programmatic increase of $92,000,000 to respond to the increased needs for expert witnesses among the litigating divisions and the U.S. Attorney offices. These expenses have 

traditionally been funded in part through existing balances; however, that approach left the Department’s budget for acquiring the 

services of expert witnesses tight in recent years. Given the substantial increase recommended for fiscal year 2011 in resources for 

payment of fees and expenses of expert witnesses, the Committee 

expects that no funds will be expended for expert witness services 

from any DOJ accounts but Fees and Expenses of Witnesses. 
56 

COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $11,479,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 12,606,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 12,606,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $12,606,000 for the 

Community Relations Service. The recommendation is $1,127,000 

above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget 

request. Within the funds provided, as authorized by the Emmett 

Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act (Public Law 110–344), the 

Committee expects that the Community Relations Service will continue partnering with law enforcement agencies and communities 

in conflict, resulting from the investigation of unsolved civil rights 

era cold cases. Therefore, the Committee supports the budget request of $250,000 dedicated to support CRS involvement assisting 

and serving as mediators by bringing together law enforcement 

agencies and communities in conflict resulting from the investigation of violations of criminal civil rights statutes, specifically regarding issues surrounding civil rights and cold cases. 

The Community Relations Service, established by title X of the 

Civil Rights Act of 1964, provides assistance to communities and 

persons in the prevention and resolution of disagreements arising 

from discriminatory practices. 

ASSETS FORFEITURE FUND

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $20,990,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 20,990,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 20,990,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $20,990,000 for the 

Assets Forfeiture Fund. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal 

year 2010 enacted level and to the budget request. 

The Assets Forfeiture Fund [AFF] provides funds for qualifying 

expenses of Federal law enforcement agencies and their State or 

local partners. Funds for these activities are provided from receipts 

deposited in the Assets Forfeiture Fund resulting from the seizure 

and liquidation of assets. Expenses related to the management and 

disposal of assets are also provided from the Assets Forfeiture 

Fund by a permanent indefinite appropriation. 

UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $1,125,763,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 1,180,534,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,190,534,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,190,534,000 for 

the U.S. Marshals Service [USMS] salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $64,771,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and $10,000,000 above the budget request. 

The core mission of the USMS includes the apprehension of fugitives, protection of the Federal judiciary, protection of witnesses, 
57 

execution of warrants and court orders, and the custody and transportation of accused and unsentenced prisoners. 

Judicial and Courthouse Security.—The Committee recommends 

an appropriation of $467,018,000 for judicial and courthouse security. The recommendation is $13,992,000 above the fiscal year 2010 

enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

Judicial Security Training.—The conferees note that the Office of 

the Inspector General [OIG] issued a December 2009 report on protection of the judiciary and U.S. Attorneys that found that Federal 

judges, U.S. Attorneys and Assistant U.S. Attorneys [AUSAs] were 

not consistently reporting threats on a timely basis and, more troubling, not reporting threats at all in some instances. The Committee is concerned that the Federal judiciary and U.S. Attorneys’ 

Offices may fail to participate in security and threat training, and 

recommends better communication between the Marshals Service 

and their protectees to clarify the categories of security threats and 

coordination to ensure that reporting and response processes are in 

place. The Committee directs the Inspector General to audit the attendance of judges, U.S. attorneys and AUSAs at judicial security 

training provided by the U.S. Marshals Service, also taking into account whether any independent security training is occurring. The 

OIG is to report its findings to the Committee on attendance at 

these security trainings for fiscal year 2010 within 120 days of enactment of this act. In addition, the OIG is to report its findings 

to the Committee on attendance at these security trainings for fiscal year 2011 by November 1, 2011. 

Immigration Enforcement.—The Committee strongly supports the 

U.S. Marshals Service increase in funding for immigration enforcement. The flow of human trafficking and narcotics into the United 

States, along with smuggling of illegal firearms and criminal profits out of the United States has had a devastating effect on the 

country, as well as Canada and Mexico. In the past, the U.S. Marshals Service was forced to divert resources from fugitive apprehension to address this growing problem. The Committee hopes that 

these additional resources will alleviate pressure on other marshals 

programs. 

Sexual Offender Apprehension.—The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Public Law 109–248) gives the U.S. 

Marshals Service the authority to treat as fugitives convicted sex 

offenders who fail to register. It also directs the marshals to assist 

jurisdictions in locating and apprehending these individuals. There 

are roughly 135,000 non-compliant offenders in the United States. 

The Committee commends the U.S. Marshals Service for 

annualizing $50,985,000 of prior year supplemental and annual 

funds into its 2011 budget request for enforcement of the Adam 

Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. To date, the USMS has 

hired 170 new deputy marshals to assist States in locating and apprehending sex offenders who violate sex offender registration requirements. The Committee is concerned, however, that the administration requests no additional resources to expand this program 

beyond the current level of effort. The U.S. Marshals Service estimates it needs a dedicated force of at least 500 deputy marshals 

to fulfill its Adam Walsh Act responsibilities. Therefore, the Committee appropriates an additional $10,000,000 above the budget re-
58 

quest for the Marshals Service to hire an additional 50 deputy marshals to expand Adam Walsh enforcement activities in districts 

across the country, with the goal of hiring and equipping 500 new 

deputy marshals in total by 2015. The Committee would also urge 

the Department of Justice to submit a reprogramming request in 

2011 that would reallocate funds from lower priority programs 

across the Department to enable the Marshals Service to enhance 

its Adam Walsh enforcement mission. 

This funding will also continue support for the National Sex Offender Targeting Center, improve the agency’s information technology backbone, and reinforce the agency’s infrastructure so that 

deputy marshals have timely, accurate investigative information to 

track down and arrest those who prey on our Nation’s children. 

Regional Fugitive Task Forces.—The Committee strongly supports the U.S. Marshals Service’s Regional Fugitive Task Forces 

[RFTFs], which are effective partnerships with other Federal, 

State, and local law enforcement agencies to apprehend violent fugitives, including violent sex offenders. The Committee directs the 

USMS, within the increase provided above the enacted level, to 

provide at least $20,000,000 to enhance the seven existing task 

forces and establish new task force capabilities in areas of the 

United States not currently served by RFTFs. 

CONSTRUCTION

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $26,625,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 26,625,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 26,625,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $26,625,000 for construction in space controlled, occupied, or utilized by the USMS in 

United States courthouses and Federal buildings, including but not 

limited to the creation, renovation, and expansion of prisoner movement areas, elevators, and other law enforcement and court security support space. As in prior years, the Committee’s intent is to 

provide for all construction activity to support the mission of the 

USMS in protection of the Federal judiciary and other law enforcement activities. 

NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $87,938,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 99,537,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 99,537,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $99,537,000 for the 

National Security Division [NSD]. The recommendation is 

$11,599,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to 

the budget request. 

The National Security Division [NSD] coordinates the Department’s national security and terrorism missions through law enforcement investigations and prosecutions, and handling counterespionage cases. The NSD works in coordination with the FBI, the 

Intelligence Community, and U.S. attorneys. Its primary function 

is to prevent acts of terrorism and espionage from being perpetrated in the United States by foreign powers. 
59 

INTERAGENCY LAW ENFORCEMENT

INTERAGENCY CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMENT

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $528,569,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 579,319,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 574,319,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $574,319,000 for 

Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement. The recommendation is 

$45,750,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$5,000,000 below the budget request. 

The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement Account funds the 

Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces [OCDETF], 

which is the centerpiece of the Department’s drug enforcement and 

counternarcotics efforts. The mission of OCDETF is to ensure a coordinated, multi-agency approach to identifying, disrupting and 

dismantling those drug trafficking and money laundering organizations primarily responsible for the Nation’s illicit drug supply and 

drug-related violence. Through its nine intelligence-based, prosecutor-led regional task forces, this program utilizes the seven Federal law enforcement agencies to target major drug trafficking organizations and their financial infrastructure. This account also 

funds the OCDETF Fusion Center [OFC], an operational intelligence center combining the analytical resources and intelligence 

information of the OCDETF member agencies and others. 

Southwest Border Enforcement Initiative.—The Committee is concerned about the continuing violence and crime on the Southwest 

border and supports the Department’s coordinated approach to address illegal narcotics and related criminal activities and violence 

there. Therefore, the Committee provides the full budget request of 

$176,100,000, an increase of $37,339,000 over the fiscal year 2010 

enacted level to hire and deploy 158 new positions, including 29 

agents and 58 attorneys, to support a significant expansion of and 

investment in the OCDETF program on the Southwest border. This 

will deploy resources pursuant to a single, coherent strategic plan 

that will provide for escalating enforcement and prosecutorial activities along the Southwest border and in interior regions of the 

United States affected significantly by Southwest border drug trafficking. 

Increased resources will allow OCDETF to expand the number of 

high priority drug investigations and initiatives it supports, such 

as Mexican and Columbian fugitive apprehension teams; collocated, 

collaborative strike forces of ATF, FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and 

DEA agents; intelligence capacity; Southwest border investigative 

and prosecutorial activities; and the new Southwest Border Threat 

Response Unit to better support OCDETF title III wiretap requests. 

Sophisticated, Mexico-based, transnational criminal organizations are responsible for the violence along the border. The Department has proven that the best way to fight such large scale criminal organizations is through the prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, 

multi-agency task forces of the OCDETF Program, which blend the 

strengths, resources and expertise of the complete spectrum of Federal, State, local and international investigative and prosecutorial 

agencies. OCDETF’s coordinated attack has yielded some of the 
60 

most significant progress against the Mexican cartels to date, such 

as Projects Coronado and Deliverance. Through the coordination of 

the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, OCDETF provides a coordinated, inter-agency process and effort to ensure that 

resources are targeted to the most urgent needs.

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 8,083,475,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 8,083,475,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $8,083,475,000 for 

the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] salaries and expenses. 

The recommendation is $424,853,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

Five-Year Budget.—Implementation of a multi-year budget planning approach has been urged by the Committee in the past, as 

well as various external review groups, such as the National Academy for Public Administration. This approach will also allow the 

FBI to better participate in the Intelligence Community budget 

process. The Committee encourages the FBI to continue pursuing 

the 5-year budget within the administration. 

Surveillance.—The FBI’s surveillance program provides critical 

surveillance and mobility capabilities for national security and 

criminal investigations. The Committee is concerned that substantial gaps continue to exist within the surveillance program that 

could undermine FBI’s efforts to protect our Nation from terrorists 

and criminals. Therefore, the Committee provides the request of an 

additional $25,179,000 to hire additional personnel to help address 

these gaps. The Committee directs that no less than 75 percent of 

these additional funds shall be spent on Special Surveillance 

Groups. 

Cyber Initiative.—The Committee is concerned that the threat of 

cyber-related foreign intelligence operations to the United States is 

rapidly expanding. These cyber intrusions present a national security threat and have compromised thousands of computers on U.S. 

Government and private sector networks. The FBI is in a unique 

position to counter cyber threats as the only agency with the statutory authority, expertise, and ability to combine counterterrorism, 

counterintelligence, and criminal resources to neutralize, mitigate, 

and disrupt illegal computer-supported operations domestically. 

The Committee recognizes the FBI’s efforts and recommends the 

full request of $181,754,000 for this effort, which includes an additional 163 positions and $45,926,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level to further the FBI’s investigatory, intelligence gathering, and technological capabilities. 

Sentinel.—The Committee has followed closely the development 

of Sentinel, the FBI’s case management system. The Committee 

understands that the development plan for Sentinel uses a phased 

approach, in which each phase is independent of the next and capabilities are delivered to FBI Agents and other personnel throughout 

the development process. Delivery of the final Phase 2 capabilities 

will be completed by fall 2010. However, the Committee is ex-
61 

tremely concerned about how the FBI will now deliver phases 3 

and 4 of Sentinel, and what the cost implications will be. Therefore, 

the Committee directs that no new development for these two 

phases may be undertaken until the Committee is briefed on and 

approves the plan going forward. 

The Committee notes that the Bureau issued a stop-work order 

for phases 3 and 4 to its contractor in March 2010. While the Committee believes that the FBI took the necessary measures to cease 

development and save taxpayer dollars, it regrets that this action 

was necessary and that the monitoring systems in place were not 

sufficient to identify issues and support mid-stream corrective actions. The Department’s Office of the Inspector General [IG], whose 

staff has been embedded within the Sentinel Program Office, is expected to coordinate with the FBI to reinstate all necessary oversight reviews and provide a detailed description on all monitoring 

efforts, and how they can be improved in future development activities. 

In addition, the Committee is disappointed that the IG’s office 

had personnel embedded within the program and yet failed to identify the inherent weaknesses of the FBI’s management practices. 

The Committee expects the FBI and the IG to identify clearly the 

failures in the monitoring systems for Sentinel and how each office 

will correct its respective deficiencies. 

Workforce Distribution.—The Committee notes that the FBI’s 

staffing levels have increased since 2001 and will increase again in 

fiscal year 2011. While the FBI has undergone a major reorganization of its mission priorities, the Committee remains concerned 

that the Bureau has not adequately considered the proper distribution of its staffing to field offices around the country. As a result, 

staffing levels continue to vary dramatically from State to State, 

both in terms of the population of a State and the threats that 

exist within that State. As the FBI considers the distribution of 

new agents across the United States, the Committee encourages 

the FBI to also consider the allocation of agents to field offices that 

could alleviate disparities in the number of personnel between field 

offices. 

National Security Threats.—The Committee recommends the full 

request to support the FBI’s critical national security efforts to conduct investigations to prevent, disrupt and deter acts of terrorism, 

and continue to strengthen working relationships with other Federal, State and local partners. The Committee recommendation includes $455,100,000 in base funding and $25,179,000 in enhancements for national security initiatives to increase efforts within 

FBI field offices to develop and strengthen surveillance resources, 

intelligence analysis, Legal Attache ́ resources, and working partnerships with Federal, State and local agencies. 

Criminal Justice Information Services Division.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $675,600,000 including fee collections for the Criminal Justice Information Services Division [CJIS], 

including $291,100,000 in appropriated funds and $384,500,000 in 

user fees. 

Human Rights Violations.—The Committee is concerned by the 

large number of suspected human rights violators from foreign 

countries who have found safe haven in the United States and di-
62 

rects the FBI to increase efforts to investigate and support the 

criminal prosecution by the Department of Justice of serious 

human rights crimes committed by these foreign nationals, including genocide, torture, use or recruitment of child soldiers and war 

crimes. The Committee directs that, from within available funds, 

$1,500,000 be allocated for agents and associated support personnel 

at FBI headquarters. 

Civil Rights Enforcement.—Civil rights investigations are a top 

criminal investigative priority for the FBI. The Committee recognizes the FBI as the lead agency responsible for the investigation 

of violations of Federal civil rights laws, and supports the request 

of $36,600,000 for the civil rights program. The Committee expects 

these funds to be used for investigation of human trafficking, hate 

crimes, and cases pursued under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil 

Right Act. 

Critical Infrastructure.—The Committee supports the budget re- quest of an additional $25,121,000 to address shortfalls in the 

FBI’s information technology (IT) infrastructure, enhance laboratory capabilities, and to bolster the FBI’s intelligence program. For 

several years, the Committee has been concerned that insufficient 

operations, practices, and substandard maintenance could result in 

systems failures and the unavailability of time-sensitive data to 

agents in the field. The Committee urges the Department of Justice 

to include in future budget requests the appropriate resources to 

maintain and operate its critical facilities and physical infrastructure at the highest standard, consistent with industry best practices, to ensure that these systems can perform critical functions 

for the FBI. 

Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement.—Within funds provided, the Committee urges the FBI to continue to make the detection, investigation, and prosecution of domestic and international 

intellectual property crimes an investigative priority. The Committee also urges the FBI to continue field office collaboration with 

the U.S. Attorneys’ Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property 

Rights units and to continue to support the FBI Headquarters Intellectual Property Rights program coordination with the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property section. 

Innocent Images National Initiative [IINI].—The Committee recommendation provides $52,971,000 for the Innocent Images National Initiative. The Committee has provided this funding to address the critical requirements for Federal law enforcement in attacking the problem of child sexual exploitation and child victimization. 

Sexual predators use the Internet as their new weapon of choice 

to target children because more children are online and therefore 

at risk. The Innocent Images program allows the FBI to target and 

investigate sexual predators on the Internet. The Innocent Images 

workload has increased dramatically, from 113 cases opened in 

1996 to over 2,500 cases currently open—a 2,000 percent increase. 

The FBI’s fiscal year 2011 budget request includes $52,971,000 for 

the Innocent Images program, which is essentially funded at the 

enacted level. Last year, Congress provided an increase of 

$14,000,000 for Innocent Images. The Committee trusts that the 
63 

budget request is sufficient to cover the current Innocent Images 

caseload; however, should the threat of child predators on the 

Internet continue to grow, the Committee expects that future budget requests for the FBI will include adequate resources dedicated 

to investigate child predators who prey on children online. 

Innocence Lost Initiative.—Every day children are being recruited 

and forced into child prostitution. In the United States alone, an 

estimated 300,000 children are forced into prostitution, with the 

average age of a new child prostitute being 13 years old. To address this horrific crime, in 2003 the FBI in conjunction with the 

Department of Justice Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section 

and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children 

launched the Innocence Lost National Initiative. Their combined efforts are aimed at addressing the growing problem of domestic sex 

trafficking of children in the United States. These efforts have rescued over 900 children, and led to the conviction of more than 500 

child exploiters. The Committee applauds these efforts and fully 

funds the request for $26,100,000, which includes an increase of 

$6,946,000 to hire an additional 10 agents for the Innocence Lost 

Initiative. 

Mortgage Fraud.—The sub-prime mortgage crisis continues to 

threaten the Nation’s economic security. Suspicious Activity Reports [SARS] filed by various financial institutions increased 869 

percent the last 7 years alone, and show no signs of decreasing. 

This increase in mortgage fraud activity is greatly straining the 

FBI’s white-collar crime investigative capabilities. The Committee 

fully supports the requested $71,497,000 increase to hire 143 new 

agents and 21 intelligence analysts to augment the current positions conducting mortgage fraud investigations. 

Investigations Into Severe Forms of Trafficking in Persons.— Within the total amount provided, the Committee’s recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the FBI to investigate severe forms of 

trafficking in persons as authorized by section 113(h) of Public Law 

106–386, as amended. As the lead Federal law enforcement agency, 

the FBI’s ability to combat trafficking and slavery would be significantly enhanced through additional resources devoted specifically 

to the growing problem of trafficking and slavery. The funding 

shall be used for investigations into trafficking and slavery and 

providing victim witness coordinators when needed on an emergency basis. 

Gang Enforcement.—The Department of Justice estimates there 

are roughly 1 million gang members in 30,000 gangs in all 50 

States and the District of Columbia. With gang membership rising 

and violent crime continuing to be a problem, local law enforcement 

needs a strong partnership with Federal Government. Currently, 

there are 160 Safe Streets Violent Gang Task Forces. These partnerships allow FBI agents and State and local law enforcement to 

work as teams to fight street crime. The Committee directs the FBI 

to continue supporting its Safe Streets Task Force program at no 

less than the current services level. 

Federal-State Anti-Terrorism Activities.—Joint Terrorism Task 

Forces [JTTFs] are teams of Federal and State law enforcement 

working together to identify and respond to terrorist threats at the 

local level. There are now more than 100 JTTFs led by the FBI. 
64 

The JTTFs focus on maximizing interagency cooperation and coordination by employing cohesive units of full- and part-time Federal, State and local officers who are capable of addressing a wide 

range of terrorism matters. Local and State police rely on FBI for 

information, guidance, leadership, and training, as well as for critical intelligence information about threats to our country. The 

Committee urges the FBI to continue providing resources in its 

budget request to expand the number of JTTFs in future years. 

DNA Technical Review Standards.—The Committee is wary of 

recent attempts by private, for-profit DNA laboratories to have 

DOJ and the FBI change drastically their current DNA policy by 

weakening DNA technical review standards and allowing private 

DNA labs access to the Federal DNA database. Such a change may 

place unfair and unnecessary pressure on State and local public 

crime labs to outsource DNA evidence to for-profit labs, which 

stand to gain large profits from such business. 

Public laboratories throughout the United States have focused 

their efforts on eliminating backlogs and ensuring they have the 

capacity to minimize their recurrence. The Committee understands 

the great demands made of them by lawmakers, law enforcement, 

the criminal justice system and victims groups to reduce DNA 

backlogs. Both the Committee and the forensic community at large 

fear, however, that weakening current Federal DNA technical review standards and outsourcing mass quantities of sensitive DNA 

evidence to private labs without a way to hold accountable the 

quality of work and integrity of those labs does not address the 

best interests of this Nation’s victims of violent crime. 

The Committee is disappointed in the Department’s failure to 

heed the concerns to follow the recommendations of the DOJ Inspector General in Audit Report 09–38 September 2009 and Audit 

Report GR–40–09–005 September 2009, particularly the solesourcing of contracts from NIJ. The Committee directs the Inspector General to review all communications, including but not limited 

to, phone records, text messages, emails, letters, solicitations and 

faxes for the past eight years and report back to the Committee no 

less than 18 months after enactment of this act.

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $239,915,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 181,202,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 181,202,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $181,202,000 for Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] construction. The recommendation is $58,713,000 below the fiscal year 2010 funding level and 

equal to the budget request. 

FBI Academy.—The Committee’s recommendation provides 

$73,892,000 for the renovations/construction necessary to expand 

the training facilities at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. 

The FBI Academy was built in 1972, and has not undergone major 

renovation/upgrades since, aside from the addition of a dorm in 

1988. The Academy is home to new agents for the first 21 weeks 

of their FBI career, is the setting for new intelligence analyst training, houses the National Academy, is the venue for the FBI’s Leadership Development Institute, and is the locale for various other 
65 

FBI training opportunities. The Academy is continuously operating 

at maximum capacity, which leaves little opportunity for both 

scheduled and unscheduled renovation—a necessity due to the age 

of the Academy. In order to meet the FBI’s specialized training requirements it is imperative that the facilities are upgraded. The resources provided in this bill will increase training capacity at the 

Academy and bring several buildings at Quantico up to current 

safety standards. 

Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center [TEDAC].—The 

Committee is dismayed that the administration proposes to cancel 

$93,895,000 in funds previously appropriated by the Congress for 

the construction of TEDAC. This action can only be described as 

short-sighted and, would leave this Nation vulnerable to the threat 

from terrorist use of explosives. 

Homeland Security Presidential Directive-19 (HSPD–19), Combating Terrorist Use of Explosives in the Homeland, states, in part, 

about TEDAC the following: ‘‘Terrorists have repeatedly shown 

their willingness and ability to use explosives as weapons, worldwide and there is ample intelligence to support the conclusion that 

they will continue to use such devices to inflict harm. The threat 

of explosive attacks in the United States is of great concern considering terrorists’ ability to make, obtain, and use explosives, the 

ready availability of components used in improvised explosive device [IED] construction, the relative technological ease with which 

an IED can be fashioned, and the nature of our free society.’’ The 

TEDAC and the specialized facilities to be built there, such as the 

explosives synthesis laboratory, will enable the FBI to fulfill its assigned responsibilities under the HSPD–19 national strategy and 

implementation plan. 

The Committee also understands that intelligence developed 

from the forensic and technical exploitation of IEDs by TEDAC is 

of value both tactically to the war fighter and strategically to the 

intelligence and homeland security communities. So, it seems that 

the United States would benefit from the establishment of an enduring capacity to exploit IEDs and related materials to support 

military, intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security 

needs. Certainly, a unified approach to leveraging and sharing intelligence and information from IEDs seems to be a ‘‘good government’’ approach and preferable to each agency doing its own thing 

and duplicating each other’s efforts. The Committee is aware that 

latent prints developed by TEDAC personnel have been used to 

identify previously unknown individuals who were involved in IED 

attacks and who were residing in the United States. Presently 

TEDAC is receiving approximately 700 boxes of IEDs and related 

materials each month and that since 2004, when the FBI Laboratory began accepting submissions from Iraq and Afghanistan, 

TEDAC has received nearly 56,000 boxes of IEDs and related materials. The influx of this workload has had a tremendous impact 

on the capacity of the FBI Laboratory to perform its other national 

security and law enforcement casework. In particular, the Committee understands that turnaround times for completing casework 

have increased threefold and that many FBI field offices are submitting evidence to State and local forensic laboratories due to the 

inability to obtain timely forensic examinations—a situation that 
66 

has contributed to the large workloads and backlogs in State and 

local labs. 

The Committee believes the decision by the Office of Management and Budget [OMB] to cancel the TEDAC funding is an unwise and ill-timed proposal that leaves the American public unprepared and unprotected, an unacceptable outcome. The FBI has lost 

a year in building an explosives intelligence capability that our Nation needs—a capability that is recognized in presidential decision 

directives and threat assessments, and by the FBI Director, the 

military, intelligence, and homeland security agencies working this 

threat on a daily basis. Therefore, the Committee rejects this proposed rescission and directs the FBI to obligate the funds to complete this critical national security tool. 

DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $2,019,682,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 2,088,176,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,088,176,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $2,088,176,000 for 

the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA]. The recommendation 

is $68,494,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal 

to the budget request. The recommendation provides $291,832,000 

from Drug Enforcement Administration’s Drug Diversion Control 

Fee Account. 

The DEA’s mission is to enforce the controlled substances laws 

and regulations of the United States and bring to the criminal and 

civil justice system of the United States, or any other competent jurisdiction, those organizations and principal members of organizations involved in the growing, manufacturing, or distribution of 

controlled substances appearing in or destined for illicit traffic in 

the United States; and to support non-enforcement programs aimed 

at reducing the availability of illicit controlled substances on the 

domestic and international markets. 

Methamphetamine Cleanup.—The recommended level includes 

$10,000,000 for the DEA to assist State, local and tribal law enforcement agencies with the proper removal and disposal of hazardous materials at clandestine methamphetamine labs, including 

funds for training, technical assistance, a container program, and 

purchase of equipment. These funds were previously provided by 

transfer from the COPS program. 

Diversion Control Program.—Full funding of $291,832,000 is provided for the Diversion Control program, which is an increase of 

$40,042,000 for expanded forensic support of diversion cases and is 

fully offset with fee collections. 

Southwest Border Enforcement.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $12,306,000 in enhancements for a total of 

$67,847,000, for support of DEA’s enforcement efforts along the 

Southwest border including $10,806,000 to make permanent the 

enhanced Mexican Sensitive Investigation Unit program. These resources will help DEA to expand its presence along the border, address increased workload related to narcotics seizures by DHS, and 

respond to specific field intelligence priorities. 
67 

Special Operations Division—Terrorism Investigations Unit for 

Afghanistan.—From within funds provided, the Committee appropriates $8,600,000 for the DEA’s Special Operations Division to create a third Terrorism Investigations Unit for Afghanistan, which 

will be dedicated to investigating and prosecuting narco-terrorists. 

Drug trafficking in Afghanistan provides over 90 percent of the 

world’s opium, fuels the Taliban insurgency, corrupts public officials and undermines political stability and the rule of law. The 

Taliban has morphed into a hybrid—one part terrorist organization, one part global drug trafficking cartel. To protect Coalition 

Forces from an influx of weapons now and leave Afghanistan on a 

firm footing in the future, this relationship between terrorism and 

drugs must end.

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. ........................... 

Budget Request, 2011 ............................................................................ $41,941,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 41,941,000 

This appropriation provides funds for the construction of DEA facilities and related activities. For fiscal year 2011, the Committee 

recommends $41,941,000, which is equal to the budget request. 

El Paso Intelligence Center [EPIC].—EPIC is a national tactical 

intelligence center that supports law enforcement efforts throughout the United States, Mexico and the rest of the Western Hemisphere, and is DEA’s long-standing and most important intelligence 

sharing organization focusing on the Southwest border. Much of 

EPIC’s success stems from its strong partnerships forged among 

the more than 20 Federal, State and local agencies represented at 

the Center, as well as representatives from foreign police organizations in Mexico and Colombia. Through its 24-hour Watch function, 

EPIC collects, analyzes and disseminates tactical intelligence for 

over 19,000 Federal, State and local law enforcement agents, investigators and analysts at all levels of government, which they can 

use in investigations and operations to target Southwest border 

smuggling, and other violent and criminal activities. 

The high demand of the interagency community for space within 

EPIC clearly demonstrates the value it provides to DEA and its 

law enforcement and intelligence partners. EPIC is literally bursting at the seams and has requests from additional law enforcement 

and intelligence agencies for additional space and capabilities to 

house more personnel throughout fiscal years 2010 and 2011. In 

addition, the numerous investments made in EPIC over the past 

several decades and its strong reputation among Federal, State, 

local and foreign partners make EPIC a natural choice for continued expansion as law enforcement entities seek to further consolidate and coordinate their interdiction, intelligence, and investigative activities focused on the Southwest border region. The Committee supports making the full upgrades to EPIC’s infrastructure 

to accommodate the expected and necessary growth. Therefore, the 

recommended level provides the full budget request of $41,941,000 

for costs related to the renovation of the existing EPIC facility and 

architectural/engineering services for the planned expansion of the 

building.

BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $1,114,772,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 1,162,986,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,162,986,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,162,986,000 for 

the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [ATF]. 

The recommendation is $48,214,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

The ATF’s mission is to reduce violent crime, prevent terrorism, 

and protect the public. ATF reduces the criminal use of firearms 

and illegal firearms trafficking, and assists other Federal, State, 

and local law enforcement agencies in reducing crime and violence. 

ATF investigates bombing and arson incidents and provides for 

public safety by reducing the criminal misuse of explosives, trafficking in explosives, combating acts of arson and arson-for-profit 

schemes, and removing safety hazards caused by improper and unsafe storage of explosive materials. 

U.S.-Mexico Firearms Trafficking.—The Committee recommendation provides for the full request of $11,815,000 for ATF’s efforts 

to combat weapon trafficking on the border. This will annualize 

funding and positions for three Project Gunrunner Teams established in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. 

Violent Crime Impact Teams.—The Committee continues to 

strongly support the ATF’s Violent Crime Impact Team [VCIT] initiative to pursue violent criminals and reduce the occurrence of 

homicides and firearms-related violent crime through the use of geographic targeting, proactive investigation, and prosecution of 

those responsible. The VCIT uses a multi-agency approach and 

works closely with State and local law enforcement to identify, target, disrupt, arrest, and prosecute violent criminals. 

Conversion of Records.—The Committee recognizes the need for 

ATF to complete the conversion of tens of thousands of existing 

Federal firearms dealer out-of-business records from film to digital 

images at the ATF National Tracing Center [NTC]. Once the outof-business records are fully converted, search time for these 

records will be reduced significantly. The Committee urges the ATF 

to continue the conversion and integration of these records. 

National Integrated Ballistic Information Network.—The Committee continues to support the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network [NIBIN], including significant investment made by 

State and local law enforcement partners to build the current 

NIBIN database. The Committee believes ATF should move expeditiously to ensure that ballistic-imaging technology is routinely refreshed, upgraded, and deployed to State and local law enforcement. The Committee urges ATF to prioritize the upgrading and 

replacement of aging ballistic imaging equipment in its fiscal year 

2011 operating budget and in future budget requests. ATF should 

ensure upgrades and replacements maximize and protect the resources invested by State and local law enforcement.

FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM

The Committee recommendation provides a total of 

$6,806,212,000 for the Federal Prison System, or Bureau of Prisons 

[BOP]. The recommendation is $618,126,000 above the fiscal year

Correctional Officer Staffing—The Federal prison population has 

grown explosively over the last 20 years. Rising from roughly 

25,000 prisoners in 1980, the population is estimated to grow to 

more than 228,000 by the end of fiscal year 2010. BOP estimates 

that its inmate population will increase by at least 7,000 net new 

inmates per year for 2010 and 2011. Correspondingly, the overcrowding rate is projected to rise to 43 percent in 2011, up from 

40 percent in 2010. What is more distressing is that the high-security inmate population overcrowding rate is at 52 percent. Chronic 

underfunding based on inadequate budget requests have forced 

BOP to rely excessively on correctional officer overtime and the diversion of program staff instead of hiring additional correctional officers, leaving the workforce spread dangerously thin and compromising BOP’s ability to operate in a safe and efficient manner. 

To continue the steps Congress took in fiscal years 2009 and 

2010 to address BOP’s understaffing problem, the Committee provides the full budget request of $3,859,100,000, an increase of 

$59,100,000 over fiscal year 2010, to fill 1,200 vacant correctional 

worker positions to safely manage the growing inmate population 

at BOP institutions. 

Sexual Misconduct.—The Committee commends the BOP on its 

work to address and prevent staff sexual misconduct. With funds 

provided in earlier appropriations acts, the National Institute of 

Corrections has made useful progress in providing training and 

technical support to correctional systems throughout the country to 

eliminate staff sexual misconduct with inmates, provide training in 

investigating cases, and training the ‘‘trainers’’ in order that em-
70 

ployees at every level will be more aware of, and better prepared 

to deal with, these cases. 

Inmate Care and Programs.—This activity covers the costs of all 

food, medical supplies, clothing, welfare services, release clothing, 

transportation, gratuities, staff salaries (including salaries of 

Health Resources and Services Administration commissioned officers), and operational costs of functions directly related to providing inmate care. This decision unit also finances the costs of 

education and vocational training, drug treatment, religious programs, psychological services, and other inmate programs such as 

Life Connections. 

Institution Security and Administration.—This activity covers 

costs associated with the maintenance of facilities and institution 

security. This activity finances institution maintenance, motor pool 

operations, powerhouse operations, institution security and other 

administrative functions. Finally, this activity covers costs associated with regional and central office executive direction and management support functions such as research and evaluation, systems support, financial management, budget functions, safety, and 

legal counsel. 

Contract Confinement.—This activity provides for the confinement of sentenced Federal offenders in Government-owned, contractor-operated facilities, contracts with State and local facilities, 

the care of Federal prisoners in contract community residential 

centers, and assistance by the National Institute of Corrections to 

State and local corrections. This activity also covers costs associated with management and oversight of contract confinement functions. 

Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary.—The Committee recognizes the importance of ensuring that the Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary [ADX], also known as 

the ‘‘Supermax,’’ has adequate funding to retain staff levels necessary to provide strict oversight of prisoner activities and communications; and to ensure the safety of prison staff. Further, the facility has a pressing need to upgrade its security infrastructure. 

The Committee urges the Federal Bureau of Prisons to allocate 

funding necessary to address these safety requirements. 

National Institute of Corrections [NIC].—The NIC provides valuable training and services, including research and evaluation, technical assistance, information sharing and planning to State and 

local adult corrections agencies, the BOP and other Federal agencies. To address deficiencies identified by the U.S. Census Bureau 

in the reporting of inmate address information, the Committee rejects the budget request to eliminate resources for NIC and expects 

NIC to work with State corrections agencies to develop better procedures and systems for collecting and maintaining corrections 

records. 

Second Chance Act implementation.—The Second Chance Act 

(Public Law 110–199) imposed new requirements on BOP to facilitate the successful reentry of offenders back into their communities 

and reduce the rate of recidivism. Among those requirements are 

the establishment of recidivism reduction goals and increased collaboration with State, tribal, local, community, and faith-based organizations to improve the reentry of prisoners. The Committee is 
71 

aware that BOP is currently developing and Inmate Skills Development [ISD] strategy, as required by Second Chance Act, to assess 

prisoner’s skills upon incarceration and provide programming 

based on that assessment to fill skill deficits and address other reentry needs. The Committee recommendation includes $39,695,000, 

an increase of $25,927,000 and 42 FTE above the fiscal year 2010 

enacted level, for ISD and other Second Chance Act activities as 

proposed by the Department. The Committee notes, however, BOP 

has indicated that approximately $75,000,000 is required to fully 

implement its Second Chance Act responsibilities. The Committee 

expects the Department to propose significant additional funding 

for this purpose in the fiscal year 2012 budget request. 

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $99,155,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 269,733,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 269,733,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $269,733,000 for the 

construction, modernization, maintenance, and repair of prison and 

detention facilities housing Federal prisoners. The recommendation 

is $170,578,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal 

to the budget request. The Committee recommendation provides for $74,253,000 for 

modernization and repairs. 

Facility Acquisition.—The exponential growth of the Federal 

prison inmate population has far outpaced growth in prison capacity and reached grave proportions, endangering the safety of not 

only the inmates, but also correctional staff and surrounding communities. Therefore, the Committee supports the acquisition of appropriate prison facilities to help alleviate the significant overcrowding of BOP institutions. Existing facilities can be available for 

use much sooner than facilities that BOP must construct, and at 

a reduced cost to the taxpayer. Therefore, the bill includes funding 

to acquire and renovate an existing prison facility to help alleviate 

the 52 percent overcrowding rate in high security prisons. In addition to expanding high security prison capacity, BOP plans to use 

a portion of such facility to expand its administrative maximum 

(i.e. ‘‘Supermax’’) and special management unit capacity. The Committee notes that section 532 of this bill, which was included in 

several appropriations bills for fiscal year 2010, prohibits detainees 

from Guantanamo Bay to be detained in the United States, except 

for the purposes of prosecution. 

Construction.—Although BOP plans to activate three new prisons 

in 2015 and four new prisons beginning in 2016, it will be unable 

to maintain that schedule without significant new construction appropriation requests for fiscal years 2012 and 2013. The Committee 

notes, however, that even if BOP stays on track in constructing and 

activating planned new prisons, the inmate population growth is 

expected to continue far exceeding the planned growth in capacity 

in the foreseeable future. The Committee directs BOP to provide to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 30 

days of enactment of this act, the most recent monthly status of 

construction report, and to notify the Committees of any deviations 

from the construction and activation schedule identified in that re-
72 

port, including detailed explanations of the causes of delays and actions proposed to address them. 

FEDERAL PRISON INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 2,700,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,700,000 

The Committee recommendation provides a limitation on the administrative expenses of $2,700,000 for the Federal Prison Industries, Inc. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the budget request.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. $20,000,000 

1 In fiscal year 2010 and the fiscal year 2011 request, funds for the management and administration of programs at OVW, OJP, and COPS were provided within a joint Salaries and Expenses appropriation. The OVW portion of this joint appropriation was $15,708,000 in the fiscal 

year enacted and $22,735,000 in the fiscal year 2011 request. 

This appropriation supports all activities related to the management and administration of Office on Violence Against Women 

[OVW] grant programs, grants, and cooperative agreements, including peer review. For fiscal year 2011, the Committee recommends $20,000,000, which is $2,735,000 below the equivalent 

amount requested under the joint salaries and expenses appropriation. 

The Committee expects all activities related to the management 

and administration of grant programs, grants, and cooperative 

agreements—including activities related to peer review—to be supported with salaries and expenses funding. No administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the programs funded in the Violence Against Women Prevention and Prosecution Programs account. Training and technical assistance [T&TA], research and statistics activities performed by OVW, or through interagency agreements or under contract for OVW, may be supported with program 

funds, subject to the submission of details related to these costs in 

the Department’s fiscal year 2011 spending plan. 

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PREVENTION AND PROSECUTION

PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $419,500,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 438,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 468,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $468,000,000 for Office on Violence Against Women [OVW] grants. The recommendation is $48,500,000 above fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$30,000,000 above the budget request. As in fiscal year 2010, the 
73 

Office on Violence Against Women is funded as its own heading 

under this title. 

Domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking 

are crimes of epidemic proportions that impact millions of individuals and every community in the United States. For 16 years, Violence Against Women Act [VAWA] programs have supported community efforts around the Nation to effectively respond to domestic 

violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. In the 109th 

session, Congress unanimously passed a VAWA reauthorization to 

continue successful programs and create targeted new programs to 

address gaps in prevention services, housing, healthcare, criminal 

justice, and employment issues, and meet the needs of youth, native women, communities of color, and victims of sexual violence. 

These programs are designed to meet specific needs and create collaborations between distinct groups that can leverage their expertise and resources to address different aspects of domestic and sexual violence. 

Domestic violence impacts one in four American women over 

their lifetimes and 15.5 million children are exposed to domestic violence each year. Though the incidence of domestic violence assaults and murders has steadily decreased, there is an increase in 

demand for services due to improved criminal justice response, 

heightened public awareness, and victims’ willingness to come forward. 

Victims rely on services to escape violence and rebuild their lives. 

When victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence 

or stalking take the difficult step to reach out for help, many are 

in life-threatening situations and must be able to find immediate 

refuge. Given the dangerous and potentially lethal nature of these 

crimes, the Committee’s funding recommendation reflects its belief 

that it is more important than ever to increase investments in efficient, cost-effective, proven programs that save lives and prevent 

future violence. 

The table below displays the Committee recommendations for the 

programs under this office.

STOP Grants.—Within the funds appropriated, $207,000,000 is 

for formula grants to the States. The fiscal year 2011 recommendation will allow jurisdictions to implement mandatory pro-arrest and 

prosecution policies to prevent, identify, and respond to violent 

crimes against women, support coordination of State victim services, assist Native victims in Indian country, and provide secure 

settings and specialized procedures for visitation and exchange of 

children in families experiencing domestic violence. The recommendation supports increasing access to comprehensive legal 

services for victims, providing short term housing assistance and 

support services for domestic violence victims and education and 

training to end violence against and abuse of women with disabilities. 

Sexual Assault Services Act [SASA].—The Committee’s recommendation provides $30,000,000, which is $15,000,000 above the 

fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget request, to 

fund directly the needs of sexual assault victims. 

One in 6 women and 1 in 33 men have experienced an attempted 

or completed rape. More than one-half of all rapes of women occur 

before they reach the age of 18. In 2007, an estimated 250,000 people were raped or sexually assaulted; however, only 42 percent of 

rape and sexual assault victims say they reported the crime to the 

police. 

As part of the Violence Against Women Act of 2005, Congress 

created the Sexual Assault Services Program [SASP] to address 

considerable gaps in services to sexual assault victims and their 

families. While Congress has worked to ensure that crime controls 

are in place to address sexual offenders, Congress also wants to ensure that there is a dedicated stream of funding to provide a broad 

range of services to male, female and child sexual assault victims 

and their families through the well-established and well-regarded 

system of community-based rape crisis centers throughout the 

United States. Congress maintains its strong commitment to ensuring that these rape crisis centers have access to technical assistance, training and support. SASP will provide such assistance 

through sexual assault coalitions located in every State, territory 

and within a number of tribes. 

Transitional Housing Assistance Grants.—The Committee approves the approach taken by the administration to make Transitional Housing Assistance an independent program under OVW, 

where it will no longer have to compete directly against STOP 

grants for resources. In addition, due to the unprecedented demand 

by victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and 

stalking for housing and support services, the Committee provides 
75 

$40,000,000 for this program, an increase of $22,000,000 over the 

fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $15,000,000 above the budget request. 

Legal Assistance for Victims.—The Committee provides the full 

budget request of $50,000,000 to support victims’ access to civil 

legal remedies, including civil protection orders, child support and 

custody, and housing and public benefits assistance. LAV is the 

only Federal program designed to meet all of these needs; therefore, demand for these services is high and LAV is one of OVW’s 

most competitive programs, with these trends showing only signs 

of increasing. Based on these factors, the Committee’s recommendation is $9,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level. 

Supporting Teens Through Education and Protection [STEP].— 

The budget request eliminated funds for the STEP program, but 

provided no justification for this proposal. According to the Department of Justice, roughly 1.5 million high school students across the 

United States experience physical abuse from a dating partner in 

a single year, with girls and young women ages 16 to 24 experience 

the highest rates of intimate partner violence. Sadly, as young people begin dating and enter into their early relationships, many 

have little guidance on what to expect, how to treat their partners 

respectfully or how to leave an abusive relationship safely. Recognizing the need to intervene early in cycles of abuse, put an end 

to current dating and sexual violence, prevent future violence, the 

Committee continues its support for STEP by providing $3,000,000 

to support services for teens who experience or may be at-risk of 

experiencing violence in their relationships. 

OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS

The Office of Justice Programs [OJP] is responsible for providing 

leadership, coordination and assistance to its Federal, State, local 

and tribal partners to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of 

the United States justice system in preventing, controlling and responding to crime. Because most of the responsibility for crime control and prevention falls to law enforcement officers in States, cities 

and neighborhoods, the Federal Government is effective in these 

areas only to the extent that it can enter into partnerships with 

these jurisdictions. Therefore, OJP is tasked with administering 

grants; collecting statistical data and conducting analyses; identifying emerging criminal justice issues; developing and testing 

promising and innovative approaches to address these issues; evaluating program results; and disseminating these findings and other 

information to State, local and tribal governments. 

The Committee recommends a total of $2,623,330,000 for OJP, 

which is $553,424,000 above the budget request and $339,867,000 

above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level. For fiscal year 2011, the 

Committee has established a ‘‘Research, Evaluation and Statistics’’ 

appropriation to replace the ‘‘Justice Assistance’’ appropriation and 

created a separate Salaries and Expenses appropriation for OJP. In 

addition, OJP appropriations for fiscal year 2011 reflect an OJPwide realignment of programs to the account heading associated 

with the OJP office that administers them. 
76 

Five years ago, DOJ was responsible for administering approximately 72 grant accounts. Today, more than 122 grants are administered by the Department. While the intent of these grant programs are noble, the Committee is concerned that the perpetual 

authorization and proposal for new grants, while not de-authorizing or omitting redundant and archaic ones, has become unmanageable. The Committee directs the Department to work closely 

with Congress to consider seriously the modification of existing programs and omission of outdated programs before new proposals 

and initiatives are unveiled. Continuing to create and authorize 

grant programs on a whim, that cater to a certain crisis or cause, 

ultimately falls at the feet of the Committee on Appropriations 

while the Department and authorization committees proceed to the 

next issue. The Committee urges the Department to devise a proposal to consolidate and eliminate ineffective grant programs by 

outreach to the authorizing committees and emphasis on what 

works, costs and more effectiveness for the taxpayers’ dollars. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 1 ........................................................................... ........................... Budget estimate, 2011 1 ......................................................................... ........................... Committee recommendation ................................................................. $200,000,000 

1 In fiscal year 2010 and the fiscal year 2011 request, funds for the management and administration of programs at OVW, OJP and COPS were provided within a joint Salaries and Expenses 

appropriation. The OJP portion of this join appropriation was $160,218,000 in the fiscal year 

enacted, including $21,000,000 for the Office of Audit, Assessment and Management [OAAM], 

and $216,396,000 in the fiscal year 2011 request, including $32,500,000 for OAAM. 

A total of $200,000,000 is recommended for salaries and expenses 

for the Office of Justice Programs [OJP] in fiscal year 2011. Within 

the total, $32,500,000 is for OJP’s Office of Audit, Assessment and 

Management [OAAM], which is responsible for programmatic oversight, including grant compliance and auditing of internal controls 

to prevent waste, fraud and abuse. 

The Committee expects all activities related to the management 

and administration of grant programs, grants, and cooperative 

agreements—including activities related to peer review—to be supported with salaries and expenses funding. No administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the programs funded in the Research, Evaluation and Statistics; State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance; Juvenile Justice Programs; or Public Safety Officer Benefits accounts. Training and technical assistance [T&TA], 

research and statistics activities performed by OJP, or through 

interagency agreements or under contract for OJP, may be supported with program funds, subject to the submission of details related to these costs in the Department’s fiscal year 2011 spending 

plan.

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 220,300,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 346,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $346,000,000 for the 

Research, Evaluation, and Statistics account, formerly known as 

justice assistance account. The recommendation is $7,500,000 

above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $2,300,000 below the 
77 

budget request. This fiscal year appropriation reflects an OJP-wide 

realignment of programs to the account heading associated with 

the OJP component that administers them. As a result, the programs identified in the accompanying table are administered by 

the National Institute of Justice or the Bureau of Justice Statistics. 

These programs provide support to State and local law enforcement. Funding in this account provides assistance in the areas of 

research, evaluation, statistics, hate crimes, DNA and forensics, 

criminal background checks, among others. 

The Committee’s recommendations are displayed in the following

National Institute of Justice [NIJ].—The Committee’s recommendation provides $60,000,000 for the NIJ. NIJ’s mission is to 

advance scientific research, development, and evaluation to advance the administration of justice and public safety. The Committee expects NIJ to carry out the new initiatives proposed in fiscal year 2011 to the extent possible with the funds provided, which 

includes the Disproportionate Minority Contact and Evaluation 

Program, Stopping Crime Block-by-Block Field Experiments, the 

Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring Program [ADAM], Inmate Reentry Evaluation, and the Evaluation Capacity Initiative, among 

others. The Committee directs that prior to the obligation of any 

funds, NIJ submit a spend plan on how resources will be allocated. 

The Committee is concerned about the relationship between the 

National Institute of Justice [NIJ], the National Forensic Science 

Technology Center [NFSTC] and Forensic Quality Service [FQS]. 

NFSTC is a nonprofit corporation funded primarily by cooperative 

agreements with NIJ. Historically, NIJ has used temporary assign-
78 

ments to hire key officials from NFSTC to manage and oversee 

NIJ-administered grant programs. NIJ provides funding to NFSTC 

to conduct external audits of public DNA laboratories, as required 

by the FBI Standards. NIJ also directs funding to NFSTC to conduct grant progress assessments of NIJ grantees regarding public 

labs performance. NFSTC utilizes independent consultants and 

contractors to perform the aforementioned audits and assessments. 

FQS is a for-profit entity previously co-located with NFSTC, and 

co-shared and performed many of the same functions, staff, equipment, and facilities. 

The Committee is greatly concerned that the impact of government dollars directed from NIJ to NFSTC could have been used for 

FQS to profit. By sharing employees and support and co-locating, 

FQS would have exclusive access to an array of information that 

would give it an unfair competitive advantage. The Committee directs the Inspector General to investigate the former co-location 

and current relationship of the three entities to assure the American people that no improprieties have or are occurring; with solesourcing from NIJ to NFSTC, NFSTC is not sharing inappropriate 

information or intelligence with FQS; and that the taxpayers are 

assured that an ethical Gold Standard of DOJ dollars is being 

maintained. 

DNA and Forensics Research and Evaluation.—The fiscal year 

2011 budget request eliminates resources to assist with critical 

forensics and DNA research and evaluation. The Committee continues to recognize those areas as vital components to maintaining 

and advancing the quality and proficiency within Federal, State, 

and local crime laboratory facilities. Therefore, from within the 

amounts provided for NIJ, OJP shall directly transfer $5,000,000 

to the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] Office of Law Enforcement Standards [OLES] to support the continuation of the development of standards and standard reference materials. 

DNA Backlog/Crime Lab Improvements.—The Committee continues its strong support for DNA backlog and crime lab improvements by recommending $166,000,000 to strengthen and improve 

Federal and State DNA collection and analysis systems that can be 

used to accelerate the prosecution of the guilty while simultaneously protecting the innocent from wrongful prosecution. Within 

the funds provided, $151,000,000 is for Debbie Smith DNA Backlog 

Reduction grants, $5,000,000 is for Kirk Bloodsworth Post-Conviction DNA Testing grants, $5,000,000 is for Sexual Assault Nurse 

Examiners [SANE] grants, and $5,000,000 is to provide grants for 

training and education relating to the identification, collection, 

preservation and analysis of DNA evidence for law enforcement, 

correctional personnel and court officers. 

Paul Coverdell Forensic Science.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $30,000,000 for the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences 

Improvement Grants. Coverdell grants are intended to improve the 

quality and timeliness of forensic science and medical examiner 

services, including services provided by laboratories operated by 

states and those operated by units of local government. Coverdell 

grants provide flexibility to State and local crime labs by allowing 

them to obtain funds to address their most critical needs. 
79 

Evaluation Clearinghouse.—The Committee recommendation includes $1,000,000 for the proposed Evaluation Clearinghouse/What 

Works Repository, an online source for evidence-based information 

on what works and what is promising in criminal and juvenile justice policy and practice, to be administered by the Office of the Assistant Attorney General. 

Hate Crimes.—The Committee provides $6,000,000 for the 

Mathew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Program. In addition, 

the Committee directs the Bureau of Justice Assistance [BJA] to 

assess the feasibility and associated costs of establishing a national 

helpline for victims of hate crimes and NIJ to evaluate trends in 

hate crimes against new immigrants, individuals who are perceived 

to be immigrants, and Hispanic-Americans, and to assess the underlying causes behind any increase in hate crimes against such 

groups. 

Collaboration Among State Corrections, Alcohol and Drug Abuse, 

and Mental Health Program Directors.—The conferees encourage 

BJA to continue working with the Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration [SAMHSA] to foster collaboration 

among the Association of State Corrections Administrators [ASCA], 

the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors 

[NASADAD], and the National Association of State Mental Health 

Program Directors [NASMHPD].

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,510,475,000 for 

State and local law enforcement assistance. The recommendation is 

$24,293,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level, and 

$31,975,000 above the budget request. This fiscal year 2011 appropriation reflects and OJP-wide realignment of programs to the account heading associated with the OJP office that administers 

them. As a result, each of the programs identified in the accompanying table is administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, 

the Office of Victims of Crime, the Community Capacity Development Office, or the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, 

Apprehending, Registering and Tracking [SMART].

State and Local Assistance Help Desk and Diagnostic Center.— 

Within the funds provided for Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance 

Grants, the Committee provides $3,000,000 to establish the State 

and Local Assistance Help Desk and Diagnostic Center, which is 

one of the new initiatives proposed by the administration. This 

Center will establish a resource within OJP to provide the ‘‘onestop’’ diagnostic, problem-solving, and ‘‘aftercare’’ resources to help 

local communities identify, respond to, and begin to solve persistent public safety problems like gun violence, jail violence, gang 

homicides, and truancy. 

Regional Information Sharing Systems.—The Committee recommends $40,000,000 to support activities that enable the sharing 

of nationwide criminal intelligence and other resources with State, 

local, and other law enforcement agencies and organizations. Such 

activities should address critical and chronic criminal threats, including gangs, terrorism, narcotics, weapons and officer safety or 

‘‘event deconfliction,’’ and should reflect regional as well as national 

threat priorities. In addition, funds shall be available to support 

local-to-local law enforcement data and information sharing efforts 

focused on solving routine crimes, especially in rural areas, by 

sharing law enforcement information not categorized as criminal 

intelligence. All activities shall be consistent with national 

information- sharing standards and requirements as determined by 

the Bureau of Justice Assistance. 
81 

Capital Litigation.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $8,000,000 for Capital Litigation Improvement Grants, as authorized in the Justice For All Act, Public Law 108–405. The Committee directs that any grants provided for the Capital Litigation 

Improvements, shall be provided pursuant to section 426 of the 

Justice For All Act. 

National Technical Assistance and Training.—The Committee 

encourages the Department to support efforts to assist States in 

the development and use of criminal justice information systems 

that accelerate the automation of identification processes for fingerprints and other criminal justice data, and which improve the compatibility of State and local law enforcement systems with the 

FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. 

John R. Justice Grants.—The Committee’s recommendation pro- vides $10,000,000 pursuant to section 952 of Public Law 110–315, 

which authorizes student loan repayment assistance for State and 

local prosecutors and public defenders, as well as Federal public 

defenders, to complement existing student loan repayment options 

for Federal prosecutors. The John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive address the serious problems prosecutor and public defender offices across the country face in recruiting and retaining qualified attorneys. The Committee supports targeted student 

loan repayment assistance to talented prosecutors and public defenders in exchange for a commitment to continue their work in the 

criminal justice system. 

Human Trafficking.—The United States is a destination country 

for thousands of men, women, and children trafficked largely from 

Mexico and East Asia, as well as countries in South Asia, Central 

America, Africa, and Europe, for the purposes of sexual and labor 

exploitation. In the last year there have been over 1,200 incidents 

of trafficking in the United States. Trafficking victims are subjected to physical, mental, and even sexual abuse. Victims need 

various types of assistance to begin healing and recovery including 

counseling, housing, medical care, support groups, and legal assistance. Therefore, the Committee provides $15,000,000 for victim 

services for U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and foreign national victims of trafficking and the Committee directs that these 

funds be used for victim services grants. No less than $6,700,000 

is for victim services grants for foreign national victims of trafficking. 

Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program.—The Committee 

supports the administration’s proposal to replace the Weed and 

Seed Program with a new Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program. Building on concepts employed in the Weed and Seed Program, this new program will focus on place-based programs by providing demonstration grants in communities to support innovative, 

evidence-based approaches to fighting crime and improving public 

safety, as well as addressing its underlying problems. The program 

will be coordinated with the Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD] and other agencies, supporting an interagency 

initiative on Neighborhood Revitalization. 

Persistent crime and public safety problems, particularly gang 

activity, cannot be addressed solely by law enforcement. These 

issues require a comprehensive interagency approach that enables 
82 

law enforcement, educators, social services agencies, and community organizations to address both public safety problems and their 

underlying causes. This new program will build upon the current 

weed and seed approach of supporting communities that combine 

law enforcement, community policing, prevention, intervention, 

treatment, and neighborhood restoration. The new initiative will 

focus on promoting interagency collaboration and enable a wide 

range of new and existing partners to further stabilize neighborhoods that face the severest violence and crime. 

However, the Committee is concerned that the changes to the 

Weed and Seed Program will negatively impact grantees of the program who have not reached the end of the 5-year grant period, and 

encourages those grantees to come into compliance with and to 

apply for funding under the new Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program. The Office of Justice programs should give these circumstances weight when considering grant applications under the 

Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program, particularly for those 

grantees with the greatest success in achieving the Weed and Seed 

Program’s goals. During the development of the solicitation for the 

Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program, the Committee encourages the Assistant Attorney General to consider interim funding within the spend plan for activities comparable to weed and 

seed under the Office of Justice programs. 

Tribal Assistance.—The Committee does not recommend the Department’s proposal to fund a tribal grant program by carving out 

7 percent of the amounts provided to OJP for other programs, but 

continues to support strongly efforts to help tribes improve the capacity of their criminal justice systems. The Committee provides a 

direct appropriation of $50,000,000 for tribal assistance, which is 

equal to the fiscal year 2010 level. Of the total, $3,000,000 is for 

Indian legal services assistance, $10,000,000 is for tribal detention 

facilities, $25,000,000 is for tribal courts, and $12,000,000 is for alcohol and substance abuse grants. Combined with $25,000,000 provided for the Tribal Youth Program under the Juvenile Justice appropriation, the Committee is recommending a total of $75,000,000 

in direct funding for tribal assistance through OJP. Additional 

funding for tribes is provided through the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] and the Office on Violence Against 

Women [OVW]. 

Edward Byrne Discretionary Grants.—The Committee recommendation provides $213,475,000 for discretionary grants to 

help to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system with 

an emphasis on drugs, violent crime, and serious offenders. The 

Committee provides funding for the following congressionally directed projects, and directs the Department of Justice to refrain 

from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee 

expects that the Department of Justice will provide appropriate 

management and oversight of each grant. Within the amounts appropriated for discretionary grants OJP shall fund the following 

congressionally designated projects:

Byrne Competitive Grants.—The Committee’s recommendation 

includes $40,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed grants to programs of national significance to prevent crime, improve the administration of justice or assist victims of crime. Within 120 days 

of enactment of this act, OJP is directed to provide a report and 

spend plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, which detail the criteria and methodology that will be used 

to award these grants. The Committee expects that OJP will take 

all steps necessary to ensure fairness and objectivity in the award 

of these and future competitive grants. It is expected that national 

programs that have previously received funding under the Byrne 

discretionary program will be eligible to compete for funding under 

this competitive grant program, including programs for which specific amounts are designated in this act. 

Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act.—The Committee 

fully supports the goals of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights 

Crime Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–344). Racially motivated murders from the civil rights era constitute some of the greatest scars 

upon U.S. history. The Committee recommends that OJP provide 

up to $2,000,000 from within Byrne competitive grants to help 

State and local law enforcement agencies investigate and prosecute 

unsolved civil rights cold cases. 

Border Prosecution Initiatives.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $25,000,000 for funding to assist State and local law 

enforcement, including prosecutors, probation officers, courts and 

detention facilities along both the Southern and Northern borders 

related to the investigation and prosecution of drug and immigration cases referred from Federal arrests. 

Drug Courts.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $45,000,000 for the Drug Court program. Drug courts greatly improve substance abuse treatment outcomes, substantially reduce 

crime, and produce significant societal benefits. The Committee is 

concerned that while there are 1.47 million non-violent drug addicted arrestees who are legally and clinically eligible for Drug 

Court, only 55,000 are currently served by the program. The Committee supports the expansion of drug courts in order to bring the 

Drug Court Program to scale and effectively address this population. 

The Committee notes the distinct success of the Drug Courts and 

Mentally Ill Offender grant programs. While the Committee applauds the Department for attempting to consolidate grant programs, the Committee rejects this proposal given that professionals 

in the field have made a clear distinction between the two programs. However, the Committee encourages the Department to 

continue looking for ways and means to consolidate other, more duplicative grant programs. 

Second Chance Act.—The Second Chance Act (Public Law 110– 

199) is a comprehensive response to improve outcomes for people 

released from prisons and jails and returning to our communities. 

Each year, nearly 670,000 people are released from State prisons 

and approximately 9 million are released from jails. According to 

the Bureau of Justice Statistics, an estimated 95 percent of all 

State prisoners will be released—with one-half of these individuals 

expected to return to prison within 3 years for committing a new 
95 

crime or violating their conditions of release. This cycle of recidivism not only compromises public safety, but also increases taxpayer spending. A February 2007 report from The Pew Charitable 

Trusts stated that if Federal, State, and local policies and practices 

do not change, taxpayers are expected to pay as much as 

$27,500,000 on prisons alone from 2007 to 2011 on top of current 

corrections spending. 

Smart Probation.—Within the $50,000,000 provided for activities 

authorized under the Second Chance Act of 2007, which facilitates 

the successful reentry of prisoners into communities following their 

incarceration, the Committee recommends that up to $5,000,000 be 

used to promote the administration’s new Smart Probation initiative. This program will provide grants to help States, communities 

and tribes improve probation supervision strategies and services, 

and reduce recidivism. 

Bulletproof Vests.—Within the $30,000,000 provided for bullet- proof vests, $1,500,000 is for the National Institute of Standards 

and Technology’s [NIST] Office of Law Enforcement Standards 

[OLES] to continue supporting ballistic- and stab-resistant material 

compliance testing programs. 

The Committee is disappointed that the National Institute of 

Justice [NIJ] has purposely and willfully disregarded the will of the 

Congress in fiscal year 2010 by not providing the scientific experts 

at NIST/OLES with resources they need to fulfill their role in the 

Body Armor Safety Initiative in a timely manner. This research is 

vital to ensuring the reliability of body armor used by law enforcement personnel. The Congress intended for NIJ to transfer funds 

directly and promptly to NIST/OLES to support research, testing 

and evaluation of body armor safety as prioritized by NIST/OLES, 

not by NIJ. However, NIJ has disregarded this directive and instead has treated NIST not as an equal partner in the Body Armor 

Safety Initiative but rather as a contractor. The Committee is frustrated with NIJ’s insistence that NIST agree to conduct an unrealistic panoply of projects outside the scope of NIST’s internal research and priorities once the funds are transferred. The delays 

caused by NIJ’s shenanigans put law enforcement personnel at risk 

and will not be tolerated by this Committee. The Committee has 

included bill language which transfers funding directly to NIST 

from the COPS program, eliminating unnecessary meddling by NIJ 

program managers.

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 289,806,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 489,555,000 

The mission of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 

Prevention [OJJDP] is to provide national leadership, coordination 
96 

and resources to prevent and respond to juvenile delinquency and 

victimization. OJJDP supports States, tribes and local communities 

in efforts to develop, implement and improve the juvenile justice 

system in order to protect the public safety, hold offenders accountable, and provide treatment and rehabilitative services tailored to 

the needs of juveniles and their families. The Committee’s recommendation provides $489,555,000 for ju- venile justice programs. The recommendation is $65,960,000 above 

the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $199,749,000 above the 

budget request.

from the above plan. 

Part B—State Formula Grants.—The Committee provides 

$70,000,000 for grants to implement comprehensive State juvenile 

justice plans, including community-based prevention and intervention programs and activities for juvenile offenders. This amount is 

$5,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and $2,000,000 below 

the budget request. 

Missing and Exploited Children Program.—The issue of child abduction and exploitation is a constant part of the national conscience due to the numerous child pornography and missing children cases. The Office of Justice Programs [OJP] works with law 

enforcement agencies to target, dismantle and prosecute predatory 

child molesters and those who traffic in child pornography. The 

Committee continues to strongly support the Missing and Exploited 

Children Program and recommends $70,000,000, including 

$30,000,000 for the Internet Crimes Against Children [ICAC] task 

force program, to continue to expand efforts to protect the Nation’s 

children, focusing on the areas of locating missing children, and addressing the growing wave of child sexual exploitation facilitated 

by the Internet. The Committee directs OJP to provide a spending 
97 

plan for the use of these funds as part of the Department’s spending plan for fiscal year 2011. 

Discretionary Grants.—The Committee’s recommendation pro- vides $75,355,000 for part E programs. The Committee provides 

funding for the following congressionally designated projects, and 

directs the Department of Justice to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects that the Department of Justice will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant. Within the amounts provided, OJP shall fund

Youth Mentoring Grants.—To support the critical work of national, regional and local organizations in nurturing and mentoring 

at-risk children and youths, the Committee recommends 

$100,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed youth mentoring 

grants. Within 120 days of enactment of this act, OJP is directed 

to provide a report and spend plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, which detail the criteria and methodology that will be used to award these grants. The Committee expects that OJJDP will take all steps necessary to ensure fairness 

and objectivity in the award of these and future competitive grants. 

It is expected that national programs that have received funding 

under the Byrne discretionary grants program or the Juvenile Justice Part E program will be eligible for funding under this competitive grant program, including programs for which specific amounts 

are designated in this act. Further, the Committee recognizes the 

alarming high school dropout, arrest, and unemployment rates 

among youth with disabilities. Within available funds, the Committee encourages OJJDP to fund expansions of mentoring services 

for youth with disabilities. 

Gang and Youth Violence Education and Prevention Initiative.— The Committee’s recommendation provides $20,000,000 for an antigang and youth violence education and prevention initiative. 

Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws Program.—Within the 

funds provided in the At-Risk Children Program (title V), the Committee provides $25,000,000 for grants to assist States in enforcing 

underage drinking laws. 

Victims of Child Abuse Act.—The Committee’s recommendation 

provides $22,500,000 for the various programs authorized under 

the Victims of Child Abuse Act [VOCA] (Public Law 101–647). 

Within the funds provided, $5,000,000 shall be for Regional Children’s Advocacy Centers [RCACs] Programs. The RCACs were established through the Victims of Child Abuse Act to provide information, consultation, training, and technical assistance to communities, and to help establish child-focused programs that facilitate 

and support coordination among agencies responding to child 

abuse. The RCACs and the National Children’s Alliance have identified several joint initiatives which include: developing centers in 

underserved areas; support and development of Tribal CACs; constituent involvement; marketing; and public awareness. In working 

on these initiatives, the RCACs have created programs such as the 

National Training Academy, which trains professionals and multidisciplinary teams investigating child abuse, and the telemedicine 

pilot project, which assists remote areas in investigating child 

abuse. 

PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS BENEFITS

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $70,100,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 77,300,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 77,300,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $77,300,000 for public 

safety officers benefits. The recommendation is $7,200,000 above 

the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

Within funds provided, $61,000,000 is for death benefits for survivors, an amount estimated by the Congressional Budget Office 
102 

and considered mandatory for scorekeeping purposes. The Committee also recommends $16,300,000, as requested, for disability 

benefits for injured officers and education benefits for the families 

of officers who have been permanently disabled or killed in the line 

of duty. 

This mandatory program provides a one-time death benefit payment to eligible survivors of Federal, State, and local public safety 

officers whose death was the direct and proximate result of a traumatic injury sustained in the line of duty or certain eligible heart 

attacks or strokes. 

COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010 1 ........................................................................... ........................... 

Budget estimate, 2011 1 ......................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. $40,000,000 

1 In fiscal year 2010 and the fiscal year 2011 request, funds for the management and administration of programs at OVW, OJP, and COPS were provided within a joint Salaries and Expenses appropriation. The COPS portion of this joint appropriation was $37,462,000 in the fiscal 

year 2010 enacted and $40,312,000 in the fiscal year 2011 request. 

This appropriation supports all activities related to the management and administration of Community Oriented Policing Services 

[COPS] grant programs, grants and cooperative agreements, including peer review. For fiscal year 2011, the Committee recommends $40,000,000, which is $312,000 below the equivalent 

amount requested under the joint salaries and expenses appropriation. 

The Committee expects all activities related to the management 

and administration of grant programs, grants, and cooperative 

agreements—including activities related to peer review—to be supported with salaries and expenses funding. No administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the programs funded in the 

COPS Programs account. Training and technical assistance 

[T&TA], research and statistics activities performed by the COPS 

office, or through interagency agreements or under contract for 

COPS, may be supported with program funds, subject to the submission of details related to these costs in the Department’s fiscal 

year 2011 spending plan. 

COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $791,608,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 690,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 585,955,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $585,955,000 for community oriented policing services. The recommendation is 

$205,653,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$104,045,000 the budget request. 

Local law enforcement is not only essential to ensure the safety 

of the public, but also plays a critical role in preventing and responding to terrorist threats. Since its creation, the Community 

Oriented Policing Services [COPS] office has assisted State and 

local law enforcement agencies by providing grants, training, and 

technical assistance that not only ensure public safety from tradi-
103 

tional crime, but also better enables law enforcement officers to address the growing threat from terrorist organizations. 

The Committee’s recommendations are displayed in the following 

table:

Training and Technical Assistance.—The Committee’s recommendation provides for $12,000,000 for COPS to provide Training and Technical Assistance to assist agencies with developing innovative community policing strategies through applied research 

and evaluation initiatives. 

COPS Technology.—The Committee’s recommendation provides 

$103,820,000 for the COPS Law Enforcement Technology Program. 

Within the funds provided, $1,500,000 shall be transferred to NIST 

to continue the efforts of the Office of Law Enforcement Standards 

[OLES] in developing a comprehensive suite of minimum standards 

for law enforcement communications. In addition, these funds 

should be used to support the development and implementation of 

a compliance assessment program to ensure that communications 

equipment purchased through this grant program is compliant, 

where applicable with existing standards. 

The Committee provides funding for the following congressionally 

designated projects, and directs the Department of Justice to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects that the Department of Justice will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant. Within the 

amounts provided, the COPS program office shall fund the following congressionally designated projects:

Interoperable Standards.—The Committee is pleased that significant progress has been made in the issuance of standards to specify 

the required functionality for the Project 25 Inter-RF-Subsystem 

Interface [ISSI], Console Interface, and Fixed Station Interface for 

land mobile radio systems. The Committee directs that funds provided to OLES for standards development under this section should 

be used to complete the remaining aspects of these interfaces, including conformance and interoperability test standards for each of 

the interfaces. In addition, funds should be used to begin the development of standards for emerging technologies such as VoIP applications for public safety operations. 

Methamphetamine Hot Spots.—The Committee’s recommendation 

provides $13,135,000 to State and local law enforcement programs 

to combat methamphetamine production and distribution, to target 

drug ‘‘hot spots,’’ and to remove and dispose of hazardous materials 

at clandestine methamphetamine labs. The Committee’s recommendation does not include the traditional transfer to reimburse 

the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA] for assistance to 

State and local law enforcement for proper removal and disposal of 

hazardous materials at clandestine methamphetamine labs and to 

initiate container programs. Those funds may be found within the 

direct appropriation for the DEA. 

COPS Hiring Program.—The Committee recommends 

$400,000,000 for COPS Hiring grants to help State, local or tribal 

law enforcement agencies to create and preserve police officers and 

to increase their community policing capacity and crime prevention 

efforts. Within the funds provided, $30,000,000 is for the hiring or 

rehiring of officers who will be assigned to Internet Crimes Against 

Children Task Forces [ICACs]. These funds, combined with those 

provided under the Office of Justice Programs heading, will fully 

meet the level authorized for ICACs under the PROTECT Our 

Children Act of 2008. 

Child Sexual Predator Prosecution Program.—The National Sex 

Offender Public Registry and the sex offender management assistance program, both previously funded from this line, have been 

moved to the Office of Justice Programs, where they have traditionally been administered. After accounting for these movements, the 

recommended level of $18,000,000 is an increase of $6,000,000 over 

both the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the budget request for 

this program. These additional funds should be used to assist 

State, tribal and local law enforcement in locating, arresting and 

prosecuting child sexual predators and exploiters. 

Tribal Resources.—The Committee has provided a total 

$72,000,000 in programs targeted entirely to tribal communities 

through the Tribal Resources Grant Program [TRGP]. Within the 

TRGP, $25,000,000 is provided through direct appropriations and 

$47,000,000 is provided by transfers from the COPS Hiring and 

Meth Hot Spots programs. All funds available to the TRGP can be 

used for equipment and hiring or training of tribal law enforcement. This will allow tribes maximum flexibility to respond the priorities they deem most urgent. 

The Committee provides funding for the following congressionally 

designated projects. Within the amounts provided for methamphet-
110 

amine hot spots, the COPS program office shall fund the following 

congressionally designated projects:

TITLE III 

SCIENCE 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 

OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $7,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 6,990,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 6,990,000 

The Committee recommendation provides $6,990,000. The rec- ommendation is $10,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level 

and equal to the budget request. 

The Office of Science and Technology Policy [OSTP] was created 

by the National Science and Technology Policy, Organization, and 

Priorities Act of 1976 (Public Law 94–282) and coordinates science 

and technology policy for the White House. OSTP provides scientific and technological information, analysis, and advice for the 

President and for the executive branch; participates in formulation, 

coordination, and implementation of national and international 

policies and programs that involve science and technology; maintains and promotes the health and vitality of the U.S. science and 

technology infrastructure; reviews and analyzes, with the Office of 

Management and Budget, the research and development budgets 

for all Federal agencies; and coordinates research and development 

efforts of the Federal Government to maximize the return on the 

public’s investment in science and technology and to ensure Federal resources are used efficiently and appropriately. 

Scientific Integrity.—On March 9, 2009, the President issued a 

memorandum that articulated the administration’s commitment to 

scientific integrity. The document called upon the OSTP Director to 

‘‘develop recommendations for Presidential action designed to guarantee scientific integrity throughout the executive branch’’ within 

120 days. More than 1 year after that deadline, those recommendations have not been issued. As a result, some departments and 

agencies have held off issuing new scientific communication guidelines while awaiting guidance from OSTP. Within 60 days of the 

enactment of this act, the Director shall issue the recommendations 

called for in the March 9, 2009, memorandum. If the Director cannot issue the recommendations by that date, OSTP shall report to 

the Committee articulating the reasons for not issuing the recommendations, along with the estimated date of completion. 

Dispersants.—While chemical dispersants are a standard tool for 

cleaning up oil spills and protecting coastlines and estuaries from 

the impacts of thick crude oil, too little scientific research has been 

done to understand these chemicals. In the Deepwater Horizon incident, dispersants have been used in unprecedented quantities 

and in novel ways. Scientists, and the American public, do not 
115 

know what the impact will be on fish, turtles, and mammals that 

live in the ocean; ocean, coastal and estuarine habitats; or human 

health. The OSTP Director shall within 30 days of enactment of 

this act to submit to the Committee a research plan for the most 

urgent research questions regarding dispersants, along with a 

near-term plan for funding that research. Within 180 days of enactment, the Director shall outline a comprehensive research plan, 

building on the National Academies’ report ‘‘Oil Spill Dispersants, 

Efficacy and Effects,’’ to better understand dispersants and their 

impact, along with an appropriate funding strategy. 

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $18,724,300,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 19,000,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 19,000,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $19,000,000,000 for 

the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA]. The 

recommendation is $275,700,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and equal to the budget request. 

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (Public 

Law 85–568) to conduct space and aeronautical research and development and to conduct flight activities for peaceful purposes. 

NASA’s unique mission of exploration, discovery, and innovation is 

intended to preserve the United States’ role as both a leader in 

world aviation and as the pre-eminent space-faring nation. It is 

NASA’s mission to: advance human exploration, use, and development of space; advance and communicate scientific knowledge and 

understanding of the Earth, the solar system and the universe; and 

research, develop, verify, and transfer advanced aeronautics and 

space technologies. 

During July 2009, the Nation marked the 40th anniversary of 

the Apollo Moon landing. Since that time, many have debated the 

future of NASA’s human spaceflight program. The Review of U.S. 

Human Spaceflight Plans Committee, better known as the Augustine Committee, reported that the plans for future human 

spaceflight were untenable. The administration’s budget request offered a vision for human spaceflight that relied on commercial providers in the near term and invested now in technology development before making major investments in building the next generation of human spaceflight vehicles. 

The Committee’s recommendations focus on investments that rebalance the space program. The Committee supports major investments in science that help us understand and save our planet and 

explore our universe, in aeronautics research that makes air travel 

here on Earth safer and keeps America competitive, and in extending the International Space Station [ISS] so we can utilize the lab 

we built. 

From the outset, this Committee has sought a human spaceflight 

program that the President, the Congress, and the American people 

can support. The Committee believes that the restructured program called for in this act should be sustainable from one administration to the next. The United States cannot reinvent its space 

program every 4 years. 
116 

The Committee believes this bill represents a solid compromise 

for human spaceflight that reaches beyond low Earth orbit with affordable vehicles; makes key investments in the burgeoning commercial launch industry that is already poised to bring cargo to the 

ISS; before the Shuttle is retired in 2011, authorizes one additional 

Shuttle flight, if determined to be safe, to preposition supplies at 

the ISS; and revitalizes NASA technology programs. The Committee invests in a new heavy lift rocket to be built by 2017, along 

with the Orion capsule to carry astronauts, so NASA can again 

send humans on new journeys of discovery. 

The bill conforms to the Committee’s guiding principles for 

NASA, placing the highest priority on astronaut safety, keeping 

mission destination in focus, balancing the space program, using 

human space flight for scientific discovery, easing workforce transition, and protecting taxpayers by serving as good stewards of public resources. 

NASA’s acquisition management remains on the Government Accountability Office’s [GAO] ‘‘high risk’’ list. The Agency is celebrating its 20th year on that list, in such company as Medicare, 

Department of Defense Weapons Systems acquisition, and enforcement of tax laws. In its most recent assessment of major NASA 

projects GAO found 9 of 10 projects in the implementation phase 

had both exceeded their planned budgets by more than 8 percent 

and delayed their launch date by more than 8 months. The largest 

budget increase was a 68 percent cost increase with a corresponding schedule slip of 25 months over a baseline established 

in fiscal year 2008. 

While GAO reports that NASA is making progress in strengthening financial management, including better cost estimates and 

higher standards of accountability for contractors, it is imperative 

that NASA do a better job of managing these large projects. More 

than 80 percent of NASA’s funding—a staggering $16,000,000,000 

for fiscal year 2011—is awarded by contract. 

On July 13, 2010, the National Research Council released a report ‘‘Controlling Cost Growth of NASA Earth and Space Science 

Missions.’’ The recommendations of that report could be applied 

throughout NASA, particularly the need for cost realism through 

independent cost assessment and incentivizing not only technical 

but also cost and schedule performance. 

The Committee directs NASA to report, within 60 days of enactment of this act, on any outstanding GAO or Inspector General recommendations to improve NASA’s financial management, the date 

those recommendations were issued, an expected date for implementing those recommendations, and a thorough explanation of the 

reasons those recommendations have not been implemented. Special attention should be paid to any recommendations that have the 

potential to get NASA’s acquisition management off of the GAO 

high risk list or to make NASA’s financial statements able to be 

qualified by independent accountants. Within 180 days of enactment, NASA shall report to the Committee on any efforts taken to 

reform its acquisition practices to improve cost estimating, improve 

technical readiness before preliminary design review, better evaluate and reward contractor cost and schedule performance, and en-
117 

sure sound business practices govern contracting, particularly for 

large contracts. 

The Committee has chosen to articulate the funding levels of programs within the account structure for NASA in the form of tables. 

Major mission and program funding is listed within the tables and, 

if necessary, supplemented with explanatory report language.

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $4,469,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 5,005,600,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 5,005,600,000 

The Science account encompasses four lines of study: Earth 

Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and Astrophysics. This 

funding seeks to answer fundamental questions concerning the 

ways in which Earth’s climate is changing; the comparison of Earth 

with other planets in the solar system and around other stars; the 

connections between the Sun and Earth; and the origin and evolution of planetary systems, the galaxy, and the universe, including 

the origin and distribution of life in the universe. These objectives 

are achieved through robotic flight missions, ground-based scientific research and data analysis, and the development of new 

technologies for future missions.

Earth Science Decadal Survey Missions.—The Committee supports the ongoing development of the Tier I Earth Science missions, 

and provides the full budget requests for the Soil Moisture Active 

and Passive [SMAP], the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite 

(IceSat-2), the Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observ-
119 

atory [CLARREO], and the Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and 

Dynamics of the Ice [DESDnyl] missions. The National Academies 

recommended flying a suite of these four missions concurrently to 

gather critical information about the Earth and its climate. 

IceBridge.—The Committee provides $5,000,000 within funds 

provided to the Earth Science Program Office to enable instrument 

development work to continue making high resolution measurements of polar sea ice and glaciers during the gap between IceSat1 and IceSat-2. The Committee encourages NASA to use unmanned 

aerial vehicles for this mission and to use this funding to seek competitive proposals to improve IceBridge instruments for use on 

UAVs. 

Carbon Monitoring.—The Committee recommends $10,000,000 

from within available funds to continue the development of a carbon monitoring system initially funded in fiscal year 2010. 

SERVIR.—The Committee directs NASA to move forward, as requested in the fiscal year 2011 budget request, to expand the 

SERVIR network within the Applied Sciences Program and to enhance its scientific capabilities across a broader set of NASA Earth 

science products and its service as a testbed for innovative applications. 

Explorer Program.—The Committee provides an additional 

$5,000,000 for the Explorer Program to ensure that current and future announcements of opportunity can support two stand alone 

missions, one in astrophysics and one in heliophysics. 

Solar Sentinels.—Within available funds, the Committee provides an additional $500,000 to fund a pre-phase A cost and feasibility study for the Solar Sentinels program. 

Heliophysics.—Within funds provided to advance scientific 

knowledge of the Sun’s impact on the Earth, the Committee provides the full budget requirement of $143,800,000 for the 

Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. The Committee encourages 

NASA to provide necessary budget resources in fiscal year 2012 for 

MMS to achieve a launch in 2014 with the full complement of instruments and both orbit phases. 

The funds provided also include $14,100,000 for the Solar Probe 

Plus mission. The Committee notes that the Solar Probe Plus mission is the highest priority recommendation of the National Academies’ heliophysics decadal report, and therefore directs the Agency 

to work to achieve a launch no later than 2015. 

Within funds provided for sounding rockets operations, 

$5,000,000 is provided to continue advanced technology development of small satellites and unmanned aerial systems [UAS] that 

have the potential of lowering the costs of space and Earth science 

missions. 

The Committee notes that suborbital science missions provide 

important hands-on experience for science, technology, engineering, 

and mathematics [STEM] undergraduate and graduate students, 

and directs NASA to increase their participation in these missions. 

Planetary Science.—Within funds provided to advance scientific 

knowledge of our solar system, the Committee provides the full 

budget requirement of $532,800,000 for the Mars rovers and related science. 
120 

International Lunar Network.—The Committee is concerned that 

NASA continues to delay work on the International Lunar Network 

[ILN]. In previous years, attempts have been made to make funding contingent on a report that is focused on human space flight, 

and now NASA is tying an already approved and funded mission’s 

future to an upcoming decadal survey. The scientific merits of a 

mission using a lander rather than an orbiting vehicle were highlighted by the National Research Council in its report, ‘‘The Scientific Context for Exploration of the Moon.’’ Since the mission selection by NASA in 2005, there has been inconsistent support, 

without legitimate justification, for such treatment for this mission. 

Given the growing amount of discoveries on the Moon that justify 

a lander mission, the Committee directs NASA to immediately 

move forward with this mission to take advantage of the availability of ILN. 

Astrophysics.—Within funds provided to advance scientific 

knowledge of the origins of the universe, the Committee provides 

the full budget requirements of $102,700,000 for the Hubble Space 

Telescope and $444,800,000 for the James Webb Space Telescope 

[JWST]. 

The Committee is disturbed by ongoing cost overruns in JWST 

and eagerly awaits the results of the Administrator’s independent 

evaluation to get this important project back on track. 

The Committee notes that the budget request did not include 

funding for the Joint Dark Energy Mission [JDEM], pending the 

results of the National Research Council’s pending decadal survey 

on astrophysics. If JDEM emerges as a high priority, the Committee expects to see a robust request in fiscal year 2012 to support 

this mission to understand the nature and behavior of dark energy.

The Committee is committed to the research NASA conducts in 

aeronautics, and to the benefits, both in terms of safety and economics, that will be made available to the public through NASAled research. 

Green Aviation Project.—The Committee provides the full request 

of $83,100,000 for this activity for research to reduce fuel use, 

noise, and emissions from aircraft, including partnerships modeled 

on other successful aeronautics partnerships and testing of technologies through technology readiness level 6. 

Aviation Safety.—The Committee includes the request of 

$79,300,000 for aviation safety. NASA should examine expediting 

standards for technologies such as positive link control and other 

systems to allow uninterrupted connectivity to unmanned aircraft 

systems [UAS] that could enable safe integration of UAS into the 

National Airspace System. 

NASA Unmanned Aircraft Systems University Affiliated Research 

Center.—The Committee is alarmed at the total disregard of the 

Agency to follow congressional intent. The fiscal year 2010 appropriations bill provided funds and clearly directed NASA to establish 

a University Affiliated Research Center [UARC] in collaboration 

with the Dryden National Flight Center to focus on unmanned aircraft systems remote sensing research applications and educational 

programs. The NASA spend plan for this funding in no way reflects 

the mandate of Congress. The Committee directs NASA to suspend 

all plans for this funding until a full and complete explanation is 

provided and approved by the Committee.

EXPLORATION

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $3,746,300,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 4,263,400,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 3,912,000,000 

The Exploration account funds the capabilities required to develop, demonstrate, and deploy the transportation, life support, and 

surface systems that will enable sustained human presence 

throughout the solar system, including at the Space Station, in low 

Earth orbit and beyond low Earth orbit. 

The request proposed a restructuring of this account to emphasize technology development and commercial space transportation. 

The Committee shares the administration’s enthusiasm for new acquisition models intended to keep the cost of space access low and 

for investments in new technologies that can radically reduce the 

cost of human transportation to and in space. 

The Committee also believes that the Nation deserves a robust 

human space flight program. The Space Shuttle will retire in fiscal 

year 2011. The United States needs to start now building a lower 

cost, more sustainable space transportation system that can take 

humans beyond low Earth orbit. 

One of the greatest successes of the International Space Station 

has been a true partnership between the United States and other 

space faring nations to live and work in space. For our next stage 

of space exploration, the United States will need to engage its partners to have a truly robust and successful program. With the funds 

provided here, the United States will be able to contribute heavy 

lift launch technology, including the capability to launch humans 

beyond low Earth orbit, to that effort. Within 180 days of the enactment of this act NASA shall report to the Committee a set of 

scientific and exploration goals, including mission destinations, for 

utilizing the new space transportation system funded within this 

account, including any plans for collaboration with international 

partners. 

The Committee recognizes that anticipated research, design, and 

construction, within all elements of the Exploration account, will 

continue to be needed for a successful exploration program. Therefore the Committee supports the following at the requested levels, 

$30,000,000 for the B–2 test facility, $12,000,000 for design and 

long lead items for the E-Complex at Stennis Space Center, and 

$64,400,000 for research, development, and continued construction 

of the A–3 Rocket Propulsion Test Facility of which $25,000,000 

shall be for research and development.

Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle.—The Committee provides 

$1,900,000,000 to begin building an integrated heavy lift launch vehicle system. The system shall enable human transportation at the 

highest possible safety standards and lowest life cycle costs for beyond low Earth orbit and shall be designed, managed, and integrated by the Marshall Space Flight Center. This funding shall be 

part of a sustained, evolvable effort around a common core to culminate in an initial human capability by 2016. The system shall 

be evolvable to lift the necessary elements for missions beyond low 

Earth orbit in order to extend human exploration capabilities. The 

program shall be managed under a strict cost cap of 

$11,500,000,000 through fiscal year 2017. Within 60 days of enactment, NASA shall report to the committee on planned milestones, 

expected performance of the low Earth orbit and beyond low Earth 

orbit configurations, planned ground and early flight testing programs and deliverables for the heavy lift launch vehicle program, 

along with any existing contract vehicles the Agency intends to use 

for this purpose. As part of this report, NASA shall evaluate the 

preceding cost cap and validate the cap or provide a viable and 

validated alternative. 

Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle.—The Committee provides $1,100,000,000 for an Orion crew exploration vehicle that will enable human transportation beyond low Earth orbit. The vehicle 

shall be capable of being launched on the heavy lift launch vehicle 

and may also provide alternative access to low Earth orbit, including the International Space Station by fiscal year 2014. The program shall be managed under a strict cost cap of $5,500,000,000 

through fiscal year 2017. Within 60 days of enactment, NASA shall 

report to the Committee on planned milestones, expected performance and configurations, planned testing program, and deliverables 

for the crew exploration vehicle program, along with any suggestions for streamlining oversight. As part of this report, NASA shall 

evaluate the preceeding cost cap and validate the cap or provide a 

viable and validated alternative. 

Commercial Crew.—The Committee has provided $250,000,000 

for commercial crew activities. This funding shall be available to 

continue and competitively expand the number of participants and 

the activities of the Commercial Crew Development [CCDEV] pro-
124 

gram in order to reduce risk, develop technologies, and lead to 

other advancements that will help determine most effective and efficient means of advancing the development of commercial crew 

services. 

Currently, NASA lacks one consolidated set of requirements for 

crew safety. Within this funding, NASA shall develop and make 

available to the public detailed human rating processes and requirements to guide the design of all crew transportation capabilities. These requirements shall be at least equivalent to proven requirements for crew transportation currently in use, as well as any 

relevant recommendations of the Columbia Accident Investigation 

Board, and should apply to all NASA-funded vehicles that carry 

humans, both commercial and Government-owned. 

The Committee is pleased by NASA’s commitment to hold commercially developed launch vehicles to be used to carry out NASA 

missions to the same safety standards as Government-developed 

launch vehicles. The Committee encourages NASA to develop plans 

to fully utilize NASA-owned rocket testing infrastructure for commercially developed launch vehicles to ensure that these vehicles 

are tested in the same manner as Government-developed launch 

vehicles. 

Commercial Orbital Transportation Services [COTS] Cargo.—The 

Committee continues its support for ensuring the continued viability and productivity of the International Space Station through its 

extended service life by funding commercial cargo transportation 

development. The full request of $312,000,000 is provided to support the existing COTS cargo program, aimed at enabling the commercial space industry in support of NASA to develop reliable 

means of launching cargo and supplies to the International Space 

Station throughout the duration of the facilities’ operation. To improve the prospects for COTS program success and reduce schedule, technical, and programmatic risk associated with an operational cargo service program, within these funds NASA should 

prioritize projects to support additional flight testing, accelerate development of enhanced cargo carrying capability, including pressurized downmass, and develop needed ground infrastructure not otherwise supported within funds provided for within Space Operations. 

International Space Station as a National Laboratory.—This 

Committee has consistently supported the construction and operation of the International Space Station [ISS] on the promise that 

it would support world class science that could improve life on 

Earth. For example, experiments on the ISS may yield a vaccine 

for salmonella, a food borne illness that sickens 40,000 and kills 

600 in the United States annually. The Committee directs that no 

less than $48,500,000 of the funding for the Human Research Program be used to fund research on the ISS. In order for the ISS to 

truly function as a national lab, it will need a robust research funding and the capability to transport and carry out scientific experiments in the lab. 

Technology Demonstration.—The Committee provides 

$150,000,000 to conduct technology demonstration programs, of 

which at least $27,000,000 shall be used to begin the Flagship 1 

program. 
125 

Robotic Precursor Program.—The Committee agrees with the 

proposed location of the Exploration Robotic Precursor Program at 

Marshall Space Flight Center to build upon the work done through 

the Lunar Precursor Robotic program. This proposed office will 

manage robotic precursor missions to the Lagrange points, nearby 

asteroids, Moon, Mars and its moons, and identify the hazards and 

resources that will determine the future course of human exploration into space. To best utilize existing talent and leverage resources of NASA’s various robotic precursor missions, NASA shall 

consolidate management of all elements of the robotic precursor 

program which shall be funded at $45,000,000.

Satellite Servicing.—Within the amounts provided, $75,000,000 

shall be to continue efforts to use the next generation of human 

space flight architecture to service existing and future on-orbit observatory-class scientific spacecraft, as well as spacecraft owned by 

the Department of Defense and other Government agencies. The 

activities to be undertaken shall be a joint project of the space operations, science, and exploration mission directorates and shall include technology demonstrations for both robotic and human servicing. 

Additional Shuttle Flight.—The Committee provides 

$620,600,000 for an additional shuttle logistics flight to the International Space Station. This funding shall only be available provided that the Administrator certifies to the Committee that the 

flight will be at least as safe as the remaining flights on the shuttle 

manifest dated February 28, 2010, that the intended mission is in 

the national interest, and that it is worth the risks to be incurred. 

In making this certification, the Administrator shall rely on any assessments of the NASA Engineering and Safety Center evaluating 

crew safety and alternative means of return, along with the advice 

of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel. 

International Space Station.—The Committee has provided the 

full amount of $2,779,800,000 for the International Space Station 

Program which includes ISS Operations and ISS Cargo Crew Services. The Committee fully supports the administration’s plan to extend ISS research and operations through 2020. Due to the pending 

retirement of the Space Shuttle, commercial cargo transportation of 

experiments and logistics is essential to ensuring that ISS can 

function as a national laboratory. 

21st Century Launch Complex.—The Committee provides 

$453,600,000 for the 21st Century Launch Complex. This program 

is intended to revitalize the aging infrastructure at the Kennedy 

Space Center. NASA should place a priority on the use of funds to 

improve NASA-owned facilities for launch vehicles intended to 

serve NASA missions, including the heavy lift launch vehicle system. Additional funding of $25,000,000 above the request for the 

21st Century Launch Complex shall be used at other NASA flight 

facilities that are currently scheduled to launch cargo to the International Space Station under the COTS program, to improve the 

launch infrastructure to improve efficiency and safety. NASA shall 

provide the Committee a 5-year plan for this funding within 60 

days of the date of enactment of this act. 

Space Operations.—The Committee notes that NASA has consulted with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory [NRAO] 

about utilizing the Very Long Baseline Array [VLBA] and other 

NRAO facilities to meet NASA program requirements. NASA may 

use up to $3,000,000 to maximize the dual use of the VLBA and 

other NRAO national scientific assets for astronomy and NASA 

spacecraft tracking and spacecraft telemetry. 

Authority To Transfer.—Of the amounts provided within Space 

Operations, up to $50,000,000 may be transferred to the Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration, and up 

to $15,000,000 may be transferred to the Department of Labor. 

These funds shall be used to ease workforce transition throughout 
127 

the Nation due to realignment of the human space flight program 

and the retirement of the Space Shuttle. 

EDUCATION

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $182,500,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 145,800,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 145,800,000 

The Committee provides $145,800,000 for Education, which is 

$36,700,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and equal to the President’s request. The Education account funds science, technology, 

engineering, and mathematics education activities to educate and 

inspire our next generation of explorers and innovators. 

In addition to funds provided within the Education account, each 

mission directorate utilizes funding for education activities. However, NASA has been unable to provide an adequate, full accounting of those activities Agency-wide, therefore it is impossible for the 

Committee to know the extent and value of the Agency’s science, 

technology, engineering, and mathematics [STEM] education efforts. The Committee therefore directs NASA to include in its annual budget justifications the amount within each mission directorate that will be expended for education activities and the specific 

purposes for which those funds will be expended. 

Space Grant Program.—The Committee provides the full budget 

request of $27,700,000 for the Space Grant program and encourages NASA to work to achieve greater participation of underserved 

students. 

Classroom of the Future.—The Committee has provided the full 

budget request of $1,000,000 for the Classroom of the Future, 

which focuses on educational research, curriculum design, teacher 

development and educational outreach in the STEM disciplines. 

Museums, Science Centers, and Planetariums.—The Committee 

recommends $7,500,000 for a competitive grant program as authorized by section 616 of Public Law 109–155. 

Educational Activities at NASA Centers.—The Committee provides $15,000,000 for the development of educational activities at 

NASA’s centers and directs NASA to distribute this amount in 

equal amounts to each center’s official visitor center for the development of STEM educational activities, including exhibits, without 

assessing any administrative changes. 

Informal Education.—A report by the National Academy of 

Sciences, ‘‘Learning Science in Informal Settings,’’ found evidence 

that nonschool science programs involving exhibits, media projects, 

emerging learning technologies, and other informal education programs increase students’ interest in STEM education. The Committee strongly supports informal science education at NASA and 

encourages NASA to increase support for these activities.

Chief Engineer.—The Committee provides the full budget request 

for activities of NASA’s Chief Engineer to increase direct technical 

support to high risk aspects of NASA’s missions in order to improve 

mission success, cost containment, and schedule performance 

across all mission directorates. These activities are critical to addressing Agency weaknesses described in the Government Accountability Office’s [GAO] high risk report regarding NASA’s acquisition management. 

Independent Verification and Validation [IV&V] Program.— 

Within the amounts provided for cross-agency support, the Committee recommends the full budget request of $45,000,000 for 

NASA’s IV&V Program. 

Technical Civil Service Workforce.—The Committee remains concerned that NASA’s full cost accounting structure does not provide 

a transparent view of the funding requirements for the Agency’s 

civil service work force because funding for personnel is contained 

within the NASA programs. The Committee supports the establishment, at the beginning of fiscal year 2011 of a consolidated Civil 

Service Labor and Expenses theme under the Cross-Agency Support appropriations account as proposed by NASA. However, the 

Committee recommends significant program and funding changes 

from the request and therefore had insufficient information to correctly account for civil service labor and expenses costs. Therefore, 

the Committee requests that NASA provide an accounting to the 
129 

Committee for civil service labor and expenses consistent with this 

report by no later than August 15, 2010. 

Employee Performance Communications System [ECPS].—The 

EPCS is a five-level performance appraisal system that was implemented in 2007. This system superseded a three-level EPCS that 

encouraged employee participation in establishing performance 

standards. Information obtained by employees under the Freedom 

of Information Act [FOIA] reveals that this system, as implemented 

at the Wallops Flight Facility, resulted in a disproportionate number of less-than fully successful ratings given to African-Americans. 

Although African-Americans constitute 14 percent of the civil-service workforce at the Wallops Flight Facility, this group constitutes 

67 percent of the needs improvement ratings 

The FOIA information also revealed that no supervisor or management official received a rating less than fully successful for the 

calendar year 2009 appraisal period. The Agency’s own findings reveal the woeful inadequacies of the EPCS. An Agency-directed 

OSHA Voluntary Protection Program [VPP] report found that, with 

regard to the safety and health performance element (an element 

assigned to at least 90 percent of the Wallops workforce), the 

metrics for evaluation and rating of employees is unclear. Therefore, the Committee requests that the Government Accountability 

Office [GAO] audit review NASA’s EPCS system to examine its 

fairness and effectiveness. The GAO’s review should pay special attention to whether the system discriminates on the basis of race or 

gender or imposes higher burdens on employees not serving in 

management positions. 

NASA Enterprise Data Center.—The Committee is pleased by 

NASA’s efforts to create savings and efficiencies by consolidating 

its IT infrastructure. To further increase efficiencies, the Committee encourages NASA to co-locate the NASA Enterprise Data 

Center at an existing NASA-owned and NASA operated data complex with multiple other Federal tenants. 

Termination Liability.—The Administrator, within 60 days of enactment, shall provide a report detailing NASA’s complete termination liability exposure. This report shall include a current estimate of NASA’s termination liability by program and project, a description of a uniform policy across NASA on applying termination 

liability, a comprehensive list of NASA’s contracting mechanisms 

currently in use for maintaining appropriate levels of termination 

liability, and a plan for the inclusion of annual estimates for termination liability by program and project as part of the annual budget submission to Congress. 

NASA’s Use of Term Positions.—The Committee directs NASA to 

provide a report no later than 60 days after enactment of this act 

providing the total number of term positions (both new hires and 

renewals) to be funded under this act, as well as a summary of 

NASA’s use of term positions since 1990. 

Congressionally Designated Projects.—The Committee provides 

funding for the following congressionally designated projects, directs NASA to refrain from charging administrative costs to these 

grants, and expects that NASA will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant:

The Committee recommendation provides $38,000,000 for the Office of Inspector General [IG]. The Office is responsible for promoting efficiency and preventing and detecting crime, fraud, waste, 

and mismanagement. 

Continuing To Monitor NASA Conference Expenditures.—In 

March 2010, the IG issued a report investigating NASA-sponsored 

conferences exceeding $20,000. The report highlights a ‘‘Procurement Training Conference’’ for NASA budget employees held in 

Baltimore, Maryland, in December 2008. Costs for this conference 

ran $495,173. A comparable conference costs one-half the price for 

twice as many attendees. Bagels and coffee cost $62,000, or $66 per 

person, $7 more than the per diem rate for an entire day’s meals. 

Under section 538 of the bill, NASA will continue to submit quarterly reports to the IG regarding the costs and contracting procedures relating to each conference or meeting, held by NASA for 

which the cost to the Government was more than $20,000. The IG 

shall continue to audit these expenses to ensure that NASA has 

taken the corrective actions suggested in the March 2010 report. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

The Committee includes bill language regarding the availability 

of funds for certain prizes. The Committee also includes bill language regarding: transfers of funds between accounts, reductions in 

forces, and the availability of certain funds from previous accounts 

and from the Endeavor Teacher Fellowship Trust Fund. The bill 

also provides an additional amount for acquisition workforce capacity and capabilities.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

Appropriations, 2010 1 ........................................................................... $6,872,510,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 7,424,400,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 7,353,400,000 

1 Excludes transfer of $54,000,000 to the Coast Guard. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $7,353,400,000 for 

the National Science Foundation [NSF]. The recommendation is 

$480,890,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 

$71,000,000 below the budget request. 

The National Science Foundation was established as an independent agency by the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 

(Public Law 81–507) and is authorized to support research and 

education programs that promote the progress of science and engineering in the United States. The Foundation supports research 

and education in all major scientific and engineering disciplines 

through grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other forms 

of assistance in all parts of the United States. The Foundation also 

supports unique, large-scale research facilities and international facilities. 

NSF is the principal Federal agency charged with promoting 

science and engineering education from pre-kindergarten through 

career development. This helps ensure that the United States has 

world-class scientists, mathematicians and engineers, and well-prepared citizens for today and the future. In today’s global economy, 

continued progress in science and engineering and the transfer of 

the knowledge developed is vital if the United States is to maintain 

its competitiveness. NSF is at the leading edge of the research and 

discoveries that will create the jobs and technologies of the future. 

The Committee reiterates its long-standing requirement that 

NSF request reprogrammings when initiating new programs or activities of more than $500,000 or reorganizing components. The 

Committee expects to be notified of reprogramming actions which 

involve less than the above-mentioned amount if such actions 

would have the effect of changing the agency’s funding requirements in future years, or if programs or projects specifically cited 

in the Committee’s reports are affected. 

RESEARCH AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

Appropriations, 2010 1 ........................................................................... $5,563,920,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 6,018,830,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 5,967,180,000 

1 Excludes transfer of $54,000,000 to the Coast Guard. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $5,967,180,000. The 

recommendation is $403,260,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and $51,650,000 below the budget request. 

The Research and Related Activities appropriation funds scientific discovery, trains a dynamic workforce, and supports broadly 

accessible state-of-the-art tools and facilities. Research activities 

will contribute to the achievement of these outcomes through expansion of the knowledge base; integration of research and education; stimulation of knowledge transfer among academia and 

public and private sectors; and international activities, and will 

bring the perspectives of many disciplines to bear on complex prob-
134 

lems important to the Nation. The Foundation’s discipline-oriented 

Research and Related Activities account include: Biological 

Sciences; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Engineering; Geosciences; Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Social, 

Behavioral and Economic Sciences; Office of Cyberinfrastructure; 

Office of International Science and Engineering; Office of Polar 

Programs; Integrative Activities; and U.S. Arctic Research Commission. 

The Committee’s fiscal year 2011 recommendation renews its 

commitment to Federal long-term basic research that has the potential to be transformative to our economy and our way of life. As 

such, the recommendation provides the full funding requested for 

major cross-foundation investments of Cyber-enabled Discovery and 

Innovation and Science and Engineering Beyond Moore’s Law. 

Each of these programs aim to have a transformative impact across 

science and engineering, especially in areas of national priority 

first outlined by the National Academies report ‘‘Rising Above the 

Gathering Storm.’’ 

Icebreaking.—NSF shall transfer $54,000,000 to the Coast 

Guard. The Committee notes the budget request did not include 

transfer of operating and maintenance funds for the polar icebreakers from the NSF to the Coast Guard as directed in the conference report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2010 (Public Law 111–117). Despite increased security needs in the 

Arctic, both heavy icebreakers, the Polar Star and the Polar Sea, are currently out of service. For fiscal year 2012, the Committee expects the operating and maintenance budget authority and 400 

FTP/FTE to be included in the Coast Guard’s request and will not 

entertain an NSF request for this funding. The two agencies shall 

update the existing Memorandum of Agreement [MOA] to reflect 

this change in budget authority and submit the updated MOA to 

the Committee before December 31, 2010. 

Scientific Facilities and Instrumentation.—A critical component 

of the Nation’s scientific enterprise is the infrastructure that supports researchers in discovery science. Recent significant investments to advance the frontiers of research and education in science 

and engineering will increase the number of research grants and 

the success rate of funding meritorious research proposals. The 

Committee expects the NSF to fully fund world-class U.S. scientific 

research facilities and instruments to adequately support scientists 

and students engaged in ground-breaking research as a consequence of these increased investments in research. 

Astronomical Sciences.—The Committee is aware of the need to 

increase access to 8-meter class telescopes for the U.S. astronomical community. Demand for observing time on large telescopes currently exceeds the available time by a factor of 3 to 4. The Committee recognizes that there is an opportunity to meet this need 

through an increased U.S. share of the Gemini program and provides an additional $2,000,000 above the request for increased time 

on Gemini either through a direct increase in the U.S. share or by 

providing instruments for Gemini. 

The Committee encourages NSF to pursue the astronomy and astrophysics decadal survey’s recommendation to develop a giant segmented mirror telescope and to develop that telescope on domestic 
135 

soil as a public-private partnership inclusive of international partners, through the agency’s major research equipment and facilities 

construction process. This will help to continue America’s leadership in optical astronomy, while supporting scientific and technical 

jobs to maintain our level of excellence in this field. 

National Radio Astronomy Observatory [NRAO].—The Committee recommendation provides the full budget request of 

$81,803,000 for NRAO research and related activities and construction. The Committee notes that progress has been made in identifying valuable dual use capabilities of the Very Long Baseline 

Array [VLBA] and the Green Bank Telescope and encourages NSF 

to work with other Federal agencies in tapping these national scientific assets to meet program requirements. 

Cybersecurity.—The Committee recommendation includes the full 

request of $144,550,000 for cybersecurity research, including 

$55,000,000 for NSF’s contribution to the Comprehensive National 

Cybersecurity Initiative. NSF provides 82 percent of the total Federal support for basic computer science research at academic institutions. As government, business and society become more interconnected and dependent on computers, mobile devices, and the 

Internet, it becomes more important that those systems be reliable, 

resilient and resistant to attacks. The discovery and innovation in 

cybersecurity supported by NSF will form the intellectual foundations for practical applications that make our information networks 

safer, more secure, and better able to protect our information. 

Experimental Program To Stimulate Competitive Research 

[EPSCoR].—Within the amount provided, the Committee provides 

$157,400,000 for EPSCoR, an amount that is approximately 7 percent higher than the fiscal year 2010 amount. 

MAJOR RESEARCH EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $117,290,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 165,190,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 155,190,000 

The Committee recommendation provides $155,190,000. The recommendation is $37,900,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and $10,000,000 below the budget request. 

The major research equipment and facilities construction appropriation supports the acquisition, procurement, construction, and 

commissioning of unique national research platforms and facilities 

as well as major research equipment. Projects supported by this appropriation will push the boundaries of technology and offer significant expansion of opportunities, often in new directions, for the 

science and engineering community. Preliminary design and development activities, on-going operations, and maintenance costs of 

the facilities are provided through the research and related activities appropriation account. 

The Committee’s recommendation includes funding at the requested level for the following four ongoing projects: the Advanced 

Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory [AdvLIGO]; 

the Atacama Large Millimeter Array [ALMA]; the Ocean Observing 

Initiatives; and the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope [ATST]. 

This amount also includes $10,000,000 to initiate construction of 

the National Ecological Observatory Network [NEON]. 
136 

EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $872,760,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 892,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 892,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $892,000,000. The 

recommendation is $19,240,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and the same as the budget request. 

The education and human resources appropriation supports a 

comprehensive set of programs across all levels of education in 

science, technology, engineering and mathematics [STEM]. The appropriation supports activities that unite school districts with institutions of higher learning to improve precollege education. Other 

precollege activities include the development of the next generation 

of precollege STEM education leaders; instructional materials; and 

the STEM instructional workforce. Undergraduate activities support curriculum, laboratory, and instructional improvement; expand the STEM talent pool; attract STEM participants to teaching; 

augment advanced technological education at 2-year colleges; and 

develop dissemination tools. Graduate support is directed to research and teaching fellowships and traineeships and instructional 

workforce improvement by linking precollege systems with higher 

education. Programs also seek to broaden the participation of 

groups underrepresented in the STEM enterprise, build State and 

regional capacity to compete successfully for research funding, and 

promote informal science education. Ongoing evaluation efforts and 

research on learning strengthen the base for these programs. 

The Committee strongly encourages NSF to continue support for 

undergraduate science and engineering education. At a time when 

enrollment in STEM fields of study continues to decline, it is important that NSF use its position to support students working towards degrees in these areas. 

Creating a strong science and engineering workforce for the future is vital to maintaining the Nation’s competitive edge. As the 

recent National Academies report ‘‘Rising Above the Gathering 

Storm’’ and, before that, the Hart-Rudman report on ‘‘Road Map for 

National Security: Imperative for Change’’ so illustratively point 

out, the future of U.S. competitiveness rests on our ability to train 

the next generation of scientists and engineers. 

Robert Noyce Scholarship Program.—The Committee has provided the requested level of $55,000,000 for the Robert Noyce 

Scholarship program. This program helps fill the critical need for 

STEM teachers in elementary and secondary schools by funding institutions of higher education to provide scholarships, stipends, and 

programmatic support to recruit and prepare STEM majors and 

professionals to become K–12 teachers. Scholarship and stipend recipients are required to complete 2 years of teaching in a high-need 

school district for each year of support. 

Federal Cyber Service: Scholarships for Service.—At the same 

time that more Americans rely on the Internet and networked systems for business and pleasure, threats to those systems are growing. The Federal Cyber Service: Scholarships for Service program 

helps the Federal Government respond to threats to our information technology infrastructure by providing scholarships to train 
137 

cyber security professionals. In return, scholarship recipients agree 

to serve in a Federal Government agency position, building the 

Government’s capacity to understand, respond to, and prevent 

cyber threats. More than 900 students have completed the program 

which was initiated in fiscal year 2001; 92.6 percent of students 

have placed with more than 120 Federal agencies. The Committee 

provides $45,000,000, which is $30,000,000 above the requested 

level, to expand the Federal Cyber Service: Scholarships for Service 

program. Not less than $20,000,000 of the additional amount should be 

used specifically for graduate candidates, to include master’s and 

doctoral students. 

Informal Science Education.—The Committee maintains its 

strong support for NSF’s informal science education program. A report from the National Academy of Sciences, ‘‘Learning Science in 

Informal Settings’’, found evidence that nonschool science programs 

involving exhibitions, media projects, emerging learning technologies, nonschool science programs, and other informal education 

programs stimulate students and increase their interest in STEM 

education. The Committee encourages NSF to increase its support 

for the development of online accessible repositories of digital 

media and other materials to assist teachers and students in 

STEM education. 

Promoting STEM Education Through Competition.—The future 

of U.S. competitiveness rests on our ability to train the next generation of scientists and engineers. The Committee has acted on 

the ‘‘Rising Above the Gathering Storm’’ recommendation to improve K–12 STEM education by robustly funding the National 

Science Foundation and other science agencies. The Committee also 

recognizes the important contributions of groups and organizations 

that have developed nationwide STEM robotics competitions to inspire and train America’s students. The Committee directs NSF to 

set aside $2,000,000 for a competitive program of grants to promote 

STEM education through robotics competitions. Within 60 days of 

enactment of this act, the National Science Foundation is directed 

to provide a report and spend plan to the Committee, which details 

the scope of the program and the criteria and methodology the 

agency will employ to award these grants. 

Professional Science Master’s [PSM] Degree.—The Committee 

strongly encourages NSF to continue support for the Professional 

Science Master’s [PSM] degree programs funded through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (Public Law 111–5) as authorized in the America COMPETES Act (Public Law 110–69). To remain competitive in the global economy, America needs to develop 

more expertise in STEM fields; the PSM provides a pathway for 

students with undergraduate degrees in STEM fields and is a critical program for preparing future science professionals and leaders. 

The Committee strongly recommends that NSF incorporate requests for funding in fiscal year 2012 budget and beyond. 

Broadening Participation.—The Committee denies the NSF’s request to merge initiatives to broaden participation by consolidating 

three existing programs, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program [HBCU–UP], the Louis Stokes 

Alliances for Minority Participation [LSAMP] and the Tribal Col-
138 

leges and Universities Program [T–CUP]. These three programs 

each have different purposes and engage students and colleges and 

universities in a different manner. One size will not fit all. The 

Committee directs NSF to maintain HBCU–UP at $32,000,000; 

LSAMP at $44,750,000; and T–CUP at $14,000,000. Any remaining 

funding available for Undergraduate/Graduate Student Support 

may be used for an integrated broadening participation of undergraduates in STEM that includes institutions eligible for these 

three programs as well as institutions eligible under section 7033 

of the America COMPETES Act (Public Law 110–69). 

AGENCY OPERATIONS AND AWARD MANAGEMENT

Appropriations, 2010 ............................................................................. $300,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2011 ........................................................................... 329,190,000 

Committee recommendation 1 ............................................................... 319,190,000 

1 Includes $2,000,000 for acquisition workforce capacity and capabilities contained in the administrative provisions for NSF. 

The Committee recommendation provides $319,190,000. The rec- ommendation is $19,190,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 

level and $10,000,000 below the budget request. 

The salaries and expenses appropriation provides funds for staff 

salaries, benefits, travel, training, rent, advisory and assistance 

services, communications and utilities expenses, supplies, equipment, and other operating expenses necessary for management of 

the National Science Foundation’s research and education activities. 

The Committee directs NSF to find savings from operating expenses and future headquarters planning.

The Committee recommendation continues the administrative 

provisions contained in the fiscal year 1998 appropriations act 

(Public Law 105–119) regarding operation of this program to provide basic legal services to disadvantaged individuals and the restrictions on the use of LSC funds. 

LSC funds cannot be used to engage in litigation and related activities with respect to a variety of matters including: (1) redistricting; (2) class action suits; (3) representation of illegal aliens; (4) 

political activities; (5) abortion; (6) prisoner litigation; (7) welfare 

reform; (8) representation of charged drug dealers during eviction 

proceedings; and (9) solicitation of clients. The exception to the restrictions occurs in a case where there is imminent threat of physical harm to the client or prospective client remains in place. 

The manner in which the LSC grantees are audited through contracts with certified public accountants for financial and compliance audits are continued, along with the provisions on recompetition and debarment. 

The Committee recognizes that the LSC current percentage locality pay represents reasonable compensation for LSC officers and 
142 

employees. The Committee expects that any locality pay will continue to be paid at that percentage. 

Accountability and Oversight.—The Committee is disappointed 

that the LSC has yet to certify to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, as directed in the explanatory statement 

accompanying Public Law 111–117, that it has met the requirements for management practices and policies, as well as governance standards and guidelines, stated in GAO and LSC Inspector 

audits. The timely resolution of these outstanding issues must be 

a priority of the Corporation.

$2,500,000 above the budget request.

by certain international institutions; industrial, agricultural and 

services trade policy; and trade-related protection of intellectual 

property and the environment. 

The Committee notes that the administration’s Government-wide 

request for the National Export Initiative [NEI] failed to include 

USTR. While the Committee has generally supported the NEI, several existing mandates within USTR are worth advancing for the 

new initiative to succeed. Specifically, the Committee recommends 

additional funding to resolve outstanding issues related to pending 

free trade agreements with Korea, Panama, and Colombia, and negotiations shall be conducted to reach an ambitious conclusion to 

the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement negotiations. In 
143 

addition, the USTR shall work to enforce international trade obligations undertaken by our trading partners, including those relating to labor and intellectual property rights issues. Within the 

funds provided, the USTR shall utilize resources to successfully 

host the 2011 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Meeting of Ministers Responsible for Trade Ministerial. 

World Trade Organization.—The Committee is aware of the 

World Trade Organization [WTO] Appellate Body’s January 16, 

2003, ruling regarding the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset 

Act (Public Law 106–387). The Committee directs USTR, in consultation with the Department of Commerce, to continue to negotiate within the WTO to seek express recognition of the existing 

right of WTO members to distribute monies collected from antidumping and countervailing duties as they deem appropriate. The 

agency shall consult with and provide regular reports to the Senate 

Committee on Appropriations on this matter every 60 days upon 

enactment of this act on the negotiations. 

In addition, the Committee directs that negotiations be conducted within the WTO consistent with the negotiating objectives 

contained in the Trade Act of 2002, Public Law 107–210, to maintain strong U.S. trade remedies laws, prevent overreaching by 

WTO Panels and the WTO Appellate Body, and prevent the creation of obligations never negotiated or agreed to by the United 

States.

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING 

ITEMS 

The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the purse. 

The Committee believes strongly that Congress should make the 

decisions on how to allocate the people’s money. 

As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the 

term ‘‘congressional directed spending item’’ means a provision or 

report language included primarily at the request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, 

or other expenditure with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific 

State, locality or congressional district, other than through a statutory or administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process. 

For each item, a Member is required to provide a certification 

that neither the Member nor the Senator’s immediate family has 

a pecuniary interest in such congressionally directed spending 

item. Such certifications are available to the public on the website 

of the Senate Committee on Appropriations 

(www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm). 

Following is a list of congressionally directed spending items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this report, 

along with the name of each Senator who submitted a request to 

the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so identified. Neither 

the Committee recommendation nor this report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV.
