CLERK’S NOTE

This committee print provides a compilation of the enacted text 

and applicable explanatory material for the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (H.R. 1105; P.L. 111–8). 

This Act, which consists of the nine regular annual appropriations bills for fiscal year 2009 that were outstanding from the prior 

congress, as well as further provisions related to Homeland Security 

and other matters, is the product of negotiations between the House 

and Senate Appropriations Committees that took place before its introduction. The compromise measure was introduced as an original 

bill by Chairman Obey on February 23, 2009 and was passed by the 

House without amendment two days later.1 The Senate began consideration on March 2, and passed the bill without amendment by 

voice vote on March 10.2 The President signed the legislation on 

March 11, 2009 and it became Public Law 111–8. 

Because the measure was pre-negotiated and the final product introduced as an original bill, there is no conference report and no 

‘‘joint explanatory statement of the managers’’ for H.R. 1105. Instead, as directed by the House of Representatives,3 Chairman Obey 

submitted an Explanatory Statement in the Congressional Record of 

February 23, 2009.4 Section 4 of the Act provides that this Explanatory Statement ‘‘shall have the same effect with respect to the allocation of funds and implementation of this Act as if it were a joint 

explanatory statement of a committee of conference.’’ The text of the 

Explanatory Statement is reproduced in full in this committee print. 

For the convenience of users, this print is organized according to 

the ten divisions of the Act, with the legislative text of each division 

paired with the applicable portion of the Explanatory Statement.

1This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the Congressional Record on February 23, 2009, prior to House consideration of the bill and as directed by the House of Representatives in section 2 of H. Res. 92 (as amended by section 2 of H. Res. 108). The Statement 

appears in the February 23 Congressional Record, beginning on page H1653. 

[CLERK’S NOTE: Reproduced below is the material relating to division A contained in the ‘‘Explanatory Statement Submitted by Mr. 

Obey, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Regarding H.R. 1105, Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009’’.]1

DIVISION A 

TITLE I—AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMS 

PRODUCTION, PROCESSING, AND MARKETING

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

The bill provides $5,174,000 for the Office of the Secretary. 

The Department is directed to provide within 60 days after the 

date of enactment of this Act all reports and studies requested in 

this statement to the Committees on Appropriations of the House 

of Representatives and the Senate (hereafter referred to as ‘‘the 

Committees’’) in both an electronic and hard copy format, unless 

another date is specified for a particular report. 

The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (hereafter referred to as ‘‘the 2008 farm bill’’) authorized many new programs, 

provided mandatory funding for a select number of them, and reauthorized existing programs throughout the Department of Agriculture. The Department is directed to submit a report detailing 

the Department’s implementation plan for the 2008 farm bill. The 

report should include timeframes for developing new regulations 

and estimated dates the Department expects to finalize the regulations and implement the new or revised programs. The Department 

is also directed to provide to the Committees all reports requested 

in the 2008 farm bill. 

There is concern that agencies are being required, after appropriations have been enacted for other purposes, to support E-Gov 

and PART studies. This diminishes, delays, or eliminates the implementation of the activities for which funds were provided. Thirty 

days prior to any centrally determined charges being applied to any 

USDA agency that are different from those amounts displayed in 

the budget justification materials, the Department must submit to 

the Committees a detailed explanation of the amounts assessed 

and the method for determining those amounts. 

There continues to be strong support in Congress for programs 

that provide emergency food assistance throughout the world and 

that work to achieve sustainable food security. Among those programs is the Borlaug Dialogue (and its associated functions), which 

provides a forum for world leadership related to international food

assistance. The Secretary is encouraged to support this activity and 

to ensure that the Department maintains a strong role in the fight 

against world hunger.

The ARS Cotton Quality Research Unit in Clemson, South Carolina, is expected to identify opportunities for increased collaboration with the University of Georgia Tifton MicroGin that would enhance the integration of research on fiber quality from harvest to 

gin to textile mill and ARS is requested to report to the Committees on its findings and needs assessments. 

None of the funds appropriated to ARS for the Advanced Animal 

Vaccine Project at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center may be 

directed for any other use by the Department of Homeland Security. 

The fiscal year 2009 budget request proposed to relocate the Arthropod-Borne Animal Diseases Research Laboratory (ABADRL) 

from its current location in Laramie, Wyoming. Before deciding 

whether it is appropriate to relocate the lab, ARS is directed to provide a report to the Committees describing the current status of 

the laboratory’s facilities and research. Additionally, the agency 

shall assess no fewer than two locations that could serve as the 

new location of ABADRL. When selecting the locations to assess, 

ARS should consider the facilities, capacity, expertise, and 

synergies relevant to fulfilling and expediting the ABADRL mission 

that are offered by each potential location. The report should include a comparative cost analysis. 

Funds made available for the Center for Agroforestry should be 

used to continue research into all five temperate-zone agroforestry 

practices applicable in Midwestern states. 

The National Animal Disease Center (NADC) is an important 

component in the nation’s animal disease research infrastructure, 

but it is in need of office, laboratory, and information technology 

equipment and designated animal space. The Department is encouraged to begin providing these items out of the funds made 

available in this bill. If they are not, a request for the remaining 

funds should be submitted by the Department for fiscal year 2010. 

ARS is directed to submit a report to the Committees by May 1, 

2009, that analyzes the feasibility, requirements, and cost for conducting water quality and quantity research at Arkansas State 

University. 

The need to investigate diet-related health problems, including 

obesity and its associated illnesses, is recognized. With the continued support in this bill for the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, the Center is directed to continue development of 

programs to address obesity and diet-related health issues in rural 

and Native American communities, the study of minerals and other 

nutrients in widely consumed foods contributing to healthy diets, 

and the role of nutrition in the prevention of chronic diseases.

$3,722,000 from ‘‘Emergency Management Systems’’ into ‘‘National 

Veterinary Stockpile’’. 

APHIS is drafting a final rule that would allow the agency to approve, after pest risk analysis, certain new fruits and vegetables for 

interstate movement, subject to meeting one or any combination of 

five specific designated measures. APHIS is encouraged to consider 

allowing shipment of untreated fruits and vegetables grown in Hawaii to cold-weather states during winter months if Hawaii has 

specific measures in place to meet the standards set in the final 

rule and can reasonably ensure that potential transshipment of 

such produce will not jeopardize the phytosanitary standards of 

warm weather states. 

The bill includes $9,907,000 for Cattle Fever Ticks, including an 

increase of $2,074,000 to initiate the five-year strategic plan to assist in moving the Cattle Fever Tick quarantine zone south of the 

U.S. border. 

The bill includes $62,320,000 for Fruit Fly Exclusion and Detection, including an increase of $1,000,000 to enhance the Guatemala-Mexico Medfly barrier.

Surveillance, including $14,500,000, an increase of $4,713,000, for 

the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). Given this investment, coupled with the almost $128,000,000 that Congress has 

already provided for NAIS, APHIS is expected to make demonstrable progress with effectively implementing the animal identification system. Accordingly, APHIS is directed to meet the following species traceability objectives that are derived from the 

agency’s final 2008 animal disease traceability business plan: 

—Cattle: By March 1, 2009, identify 30 percent of the nation’s 

cattle population to premises of origin within 48 hours of a disease 

event. 

—Goats: By October 1, 2009, identify 90 percent of goat breeding 

herds to their birth premises within 48 hours of a disease event. 

—Poultry: By July 1, 2009, achieve 98 percent traceability in the 

commercial poultry industry through the identification of commercial production units in the required radius within 48 hours of a 

disease event. 

—Sheep: By October 1, 2009, identify 90 percent of sheep breeding flock to their birth premises within 48 hours of a disease event. 

—Swine: By February 1, 2009, achieve 80 percent traceability in 

the commercial swine industries through the identification of commercial production units in the required radius within 48 hours of 

a disease event. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING

In addition, APHIS is directed to meet the following program administration milestones that are similarly derived from the final 

2008 animal disease traceability business plan: 

—By February 1, 2009: Publish proposed rulemaking to consider 

establishing the seven-character PIN as the national location identifier standard and establish the ‘‘840’’ Animal Identification Number as the single version for the numbering system. 

—By February 1, 2009: Incorporate the NAIS-compliant premises 

identification number format into existing Federal disease program 

activities. 

—By May 1, 2009: Publish proposed rulemaking to consider 

using a premises identification number, in the NAIS-compliant format, for import/export facilities, the destination of imported livestock and the location of exported animals prior to the assembly. 

There is concern that APHIS removed a key outcome milestone 

from its final animal disease traceability business plan that assessed the agency’s progress on integrating tracking databases 

maintained by States and private organizations. APHIS is directed 

to submit a report to the Committees that explains why the agency 

dropped this important milestone from its final business plan. 

APHIS is further directed to provide an update on its current 

progress with fully integrating the Animal Trace Processing System with non-Federal tracking databases. 

APHIS is directed to submit a report to the Committees within 

one week after each of the milestone dates outlining the status of 

each species traceability objective and program administration 

milestone and the reason the deadline was not met. 

The bill includes $13,694,000 for Animal and Plant Health Regu- latory Enforcement, including an increase of $1,111,000 to hire and 

train seven new investigators to address increased violations at 

major ports of entry referred by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

the infestation of emerald ash borer and provide appropriate resources. 

APHIS is encouraged to use the funding provided for sudden oak 

death to address immediate needs in the recognized containment 

and control areas, to promote the research, development, and testing of new systems of nursery pest and disease management, and 

for programs of inspection and regulation. 

This bill includes $1,001,000 for the light brown apple moth 

(LBAM) program. In fiscal years 2007 and 2008, approximately 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
77 

$90,000,000 in Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funds and 

$993,000 in appropriated funds had been made available for 

LBAM. Of this amount, $43,800,000 in CCC funding, as well as the 

$993,000 in appropriated funding, remain available in fiscal year 

2009 to continue APHIS’s efforts. The Secretary is encouraged to 

utilize all funds necessary from CCC to carry out the recommendation of the USDA science advisory panel to eradicate LBAM in 

California. 

The bill includes $5,552,000 for the grasshopper program. APHIS 

may use funds provided for Mormon cricket activities in Utah for 

eradication and control of black grass bug in Utah. 

A portion of the funding provided for the oral rabies vaccination 

funding should be made available for activities in the Appalachian 

region. 

Due to a new occurrence of bovine tuberculosis in New Mexico, 

the Secretary is encouraged to use authorities and resources of the 

Department to provide testing, monitoring, surveillance, and other 

services as needed toward the control and eradication of this disease, and for the prompt restoration of split-state status for New 

Mexico. 

APHIS is expected to make the fiscal year 2009 funding for beaver control in Mississippi available to all counties in the state. 

Sericea lespedeza is an important field crop in the southeastern 

United States. Sericea lespedeza also poses environmental challenges to ecosystems in tall grass prairie lands in the Great Plains 

region. APHIS is encouraged to collaborate with conservation programs in the Great Plains region where sericea lespedeza is an 

invasive species to find economically and ecologically appropriate 

approaches. The bill includes $12,877,000 for Biotechnology Regulatory Serv- ices, including an increase of $1,000,000 for the Biotechnology 

Quality Management System. 

APHIS is currently evaluating a theobromine and caffeine mixture as a possible tool for predation management. APHIS is encouraged to continue evaluating this method, conduct field studies, and 

take the appropriate steps to register these compounds with the 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

The bill includes $5,725,000 for Physical/Operational Security, 

including an increase of $1,564,000 to increase security at critical

The bill provides an increase of $9,600,000 to the agency’s Marketing Services program in order to implement and enforce labeling 

requirements for all covered commodities under the country of origin labeling (COOL) law. 

After the release of the interim final rule for COOL in September 

2008, concerns were raised about USDA’s interpretation of congressional intent regarding the labeling of packaged meat of domestic 

and foreign origin. As USDA publishes a final rule and begins enforcement in April 2009, the Department is directed to effectively 

enforce the food labeling law. 

The bill includes $3,867,000 for the National Organic Program. 

USDA is implementing draft revisions to the National Organic Program resulting from the American National Standards Institute 

2004 audit and USDA Office of Inspector General 2005 audit. AMS 

is directed to report to the Committees on the status of these revisions. It is appreciated that the Department has moved forward 

with the long-overdue proposed rule on access to pasture, and the 

Department is strongly encouraged to thoroughly review public 

comments on the subject. 

The bill provides $4,766,000 to continue the Microbiological Data 

Program (MDP). In its 2009 budget request, the Administration 

criticized MDP for not providing epidemiologically valuable data to 

support risk assessments because the survey was ‘‘blinded’’ and did 

not collect necessary information. However, AMS’s January 2008 

report to the Committees stated that if the program could begin 

collecting specific information to trace the origin of samples, the resulting survey data would be more useful to the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

The agency’s letter also noted that recent food borne illness outbreaks demonstrate that a lack of information undermines consumer confidence and causes considerable economic impact to the 

agricultural industry. In order to provide more valuable information and improve the program’s public health effectiveness, AMS is 

directed to begin collecting origin of sample data. 

AMS is encouraged to provide appropriate technical and financial 

assistance to the Windy City Harvest Initiative and to the Iowa 

Buy Fresh/Buy Local Program.

Stockyards program to support GIPSA’s reorganization effort and 

to strengthen the agency’s enforcement activities. GIPSA is directed to use the additional resources to enhance its compliance reviews and investigations capabilities, as well as to support an increase in the agency’s auditing of the largest meat packers. 

GIPSA must submit a report that provides details for the how 

the agency will deploy its resources for Packers and Stockyards Act 

enforcement. The report should include a description of the goals 

for addressing violations of the Act and packer audits, as well as 

key measures that the agency will use to track whether the additional funding is providing a measurable improvement in performance.

the full estimated costs for fiscal year 2009 for implementation of 

the new interstate shipment and catfish inspection provisions in 

sections 11015 and 11016, respectively, of the 2008 farm bill. In addition, the bill provides an increase of $2,000,000 for strengthened 

enforcement of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act. 

The Department is commended for the announcement that it intends to move forward with closing the loophole in the current rule 

governing non-ambulatory cattle and is strongly urged to expedite 

the rules process and close this loophole immediately. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
82 

The Department is currently reviewing several proposals to increase maximum line speeds at chicken slaughter facilities. FSIS 

is directed to make any analysis conducted by the agency on increasing maximum line speeds, and the effects such changes might 

have on food and employee safety, available to the Committees 

within 30 days. 

There remain very serious concerns about contaminated foods 

from China and therefore the bill retains language prohibiting 

FSIS from using funds to move forward with rules that would 

allow for the importation of poultry products from China into the 

U.S. It is noted that China has enacted revisions to its food safety 

laws. USDA is urged to submit a report to the Committees on the 

implications of those changes on the safety of imported poultry 

products from China within one year. The Department is also directed to submit a plan of action to the Committees to guarantee 

the safety of poultry products from China. Such plan should include the systematic audit of inspection systems, and audits of all 

poultry and slaughter facilities that China would certify to export 

to the U.S. The plan also should include the systematic audit of 

laboratories and other control operations, expanded port-of-entry 

inspection, and creation of an information sharing program with 

other major countries importing poultry products from China that 

have conducted audits and plant inspections among other actions. 

This plan should be made public on the Food Safety and Inspection 

Service web site upon its completion.

TITLE II 

CONSERVATION PROGRAMS 

OFFICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR NATURAL RESOURCES AND

ENVIRONMENT

The bill provides $758,000 for the Office of the Under Secretary 

for Natural Resources and Environment. 

NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE

CONSERVATION OPERATIONS

The bill provides $853,400,000 for Conservation Operations. 

There is significant concern in the wake of the Natural Resources 

Conservation Service’s (NRCS) first stand-alone financial audit. 

The November 2008 audit presented a ‘‘disclaimer of opinion’’ on 

NRCS’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2008, 

which means that NRCS was not able to provide the necessary information that the auditors needed to be able to express an opinion 

about the state of the agency’s accounts. In the spectrum of possible findings, a disclaimer of opinion is potentially the weakest 

outcome because an agency has been found to be unable to adequately account for its financial transactions and program activities. The auditors uncovered five material weaknesses and several 

other deficiencies in the agency’s financial management controls. 

This result, coupled with hundreds of millions of dollars in funds 

for contracts and conservation projects that the agency has had to 

cancel over the past two fiscal years, raises significant questions 

about not only NRCS’s financial management systems, but also its 

program management and delivery capabilities. 

Because NRCS is responsible for disbursing billions of dollars on 

an annual basis, ensuring the financial integrity of the agency’s 

management systems is critical. The process of reviewing its books 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
85 

and accounting for various financial controls is valuable; NRCS 

may ultimately improve program delivery and performance as it rethinks how it manages its money. 

Accordingly, NRCS must submit a report to the Committees that 

details how the agency is responding to the 2008 audit findings so 

that it does not receive a second disclaimer of opinion in its fiscal 

year 2009 audit. The report should detail a recovery plan, with 

milestones, for how NRCS will address all of the deficiencies identified in the 2008 audit. Finally, the report should detail a plan to 

improve its program delivery to ensure that all funds that Congress provides for conservation are used in a timely, accurate, and 

cost-effective manner. 

Furthermore, the bill provides $10,000,000 in Conservation Technical Assistance to strengthen the agency’s program and financial 

management capabilities. NRCS is expected to appropriately use 

these additional funds to enhance the agency’s budgeting, accounting, contracting, and information technology systems, as well as 

program delivery oversight and accountability. NRCS must submit 

an expenditure plan to the Committees within 60 days of enactment of this Act for how the agency will use the additional funds 

with an explanation for how the expenditures will strengthen the 

agency’s performance. 

The 2008 farm bill made substantive changes to the design and 

intended performance of the Conservation Stewardship Program 

(CSP). There is concern, however, that the redesigned program may 

place greater program delivery burdens on NRCS’s field staff and 

overlay additional complex requirements on top of other conservation priorities. 

As NRCS prepares the design and delivery of the reauthorized 

program, the agency is directed to submit an assessment of the 

former program’s performance to the Committees. The report 

should describe progress made in estimating CSP’s environmental 

performance and detail the program’s environmental outcomes. The 

report should compare the cost effectiveness of CSP relative to 

other NRCS implemented programs, including Conservation Technical Assistance and other programs authorized by the farm bill. 

Finally, the report should detail how the new program that the Administration will implement will improve upon the cost efficiency 

and environmental performance of its predecessor. 

It is understood that the President’s budget maintains the activities of the National Water Management Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, from within the funds provided in the Conservation Operations account. 

Funding for fiscal year 2008 projects is not continued in fiscal 

year 2009 unless specifically mentioned in the following table. The 

following funds are directed to be used in cooperative agreements 

continued with the same cooperator entities as in the fiscal year 

2008 agreements, except as noted.

to use up to 10 percent of the amounts available in any fiscal year 

to provide financial assistance to encourage the development of 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
91 

farm labor housing projects. USDA has used this authority only on

Disposal Program Account. 

The 2008 farm bill mandates the procedure the Department will 

use to determine poverty and intermediate borrower interest rates 

for direct Water and Waste Disposal Facility loans. Borrowers in 

this program will be required to rely more heavily on debt and less 

on grants.

resources will not be delivered to the poorest, most remote communities currently served. The bill provides the same level of budget 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
93 

authority as in 2008 and the Secretary is expected to deliver at 

least the same total program level to communities with similar 

socio-economic and geographic characteristics as would have been 

served in 2008 absent this change. The Secretary shall provide a 

report to the Committees detailing how the Secretary plans to implement these directives. This report should include quantitative 

measures proposed to determine the socio-economic and geographic 

characteristics of communities served. The report should also identify benchmarks to evaluate if in fact communities of similar characteristics are being served. By November 1, 2009, the Secretary 

shall provide a comprehensive analysis and report to the Committees, utilizing these measures and benchmarks, to determine the 

results of this change in law. The Secretary is further directed to 

submit quarterly reports to the Committees on the distribution of 

funds between loans and grants, beginning one month after enactment of this Act. 

With reference to water and waste disposal systems grants for 

Native Americans, including Native Alaskans and the Colonias, the 

Secretary is directed to provide a report to the Committees that 

identifies the specific areas in which water and waste disposal program resources have been provided, where additional resources are 

most needed, the 2009 distribution of resources, and the relative 

costs of program delivery to the various areas and regions covered

ly Indiana Program Operations Data reports required by USDA as 

well as the Department’s analysis of these reports. The Secretary 

is directed to delay further expansion of the project if the state’s 

program does not meet basic program integrity and access standards or if performance standards as stated in the contract are not 

met. 

Section 4307 of the 2008 farm bill requires the Secretary to carry 

out a nationally representative survey of the foods purchased during the most recent school year for which data is available by 

school authorities participating in the school lunch program. The 

Secretary is directed to provide to the Committees additional information that studies the differences between foods purchased for the 

school lunch program by school food authorities that directly manage the school lunch program and those contracted out to food service management companies. 

The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is directed to provide a report to the Committees evaluating the impact that nutrition education is having on preventing obesity and improving the likelihood 

that eligible low-income people will make healthy food choices within a limited budget. The report shall include which programs this 

nutrition education is funded through, how much was provided in 

fiscal years 2007 and 2008 for each program, and a description of 

all guidance materials and policy documents that were developed 

with this funding in fiscal years 2007 and 2008. 

The Department is directed to provide the Committees with a report on federal activity related to metropolitan areas regarding 

links between the nutrition programs and small and local agricultural producers.

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS, 

AND CHILDREN (WIC)

The bill provides $6,860,000,000 for the Special Supplemental 

Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). The 

bill includes $14,850,000 for continuation of the breastfeeding peer 

counselor program. 

The amount provided in the bill takes into account several 

changes from the budget request. 

First, both food cost and participation estimates have increased 

significantly since the budget request was submitted in February. 

USDA’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children December 2008 Report to Congress assumes 

WIC participation will be nearly 9.1 million per month, as opposed 

to 8.6 million assumed in the President’s budget request. It further 

assumes that monthly food costs will be $44.94, as opposed to 

$43.55 included in the President’s budget request. These new assumptions result in a budget shortfall of $455,000,000, according to 

the December report. 

Second, the bill again does not include a limitation on State nutrition services and administration (NSA) grants as proposed in the 

budget and assumed in the December report. The budget request 

included a reduction of $150,000,000 associated with this limitation, although there is concern that the estimate is insufficient. 

Therefore, the bill provides $180,000,000 to ensure NSA grants are 

fully funded. Reducing support for critical WIC services including 

nutrition education, obesity prevention, breastfeeding promotion 

and support, healthcare referrals, and immunization screening is 

not a wise or acceptable method of achieving budget savings. 

Third, although the budget request states that the funding request for WIC includes $150,000,000 to restore the contingency 

fund, this is a disingenuous statement. The budget request assumes the use of the entire contingency fund to maintain WIC participation. No funding is requested in the President’s budget that 

would be available for unforeseen events, which is the purpose of 

a contingency fund. Therefore, the WIC funding level is currently 

estimated to be sufficient to meet program needs, and includes an 

additional $125,000,000 to restore the contingency fund. 

Food cost and participation estimates continue to change, and 

USDA is continuing to monitor estimates and provide monthly updates. This situation will be monitored and additional action will 

be taken as necessary to ensure that funding provided in fiscal 

year 2009 is sufficient to serve all eligible applicants. 

The Department is directed to continue providing monthly reports to the Committees on the program performance and estimated funding requirements to fully fund the WIC program.

SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The bill provides $53,969,246,000 for the supplemental nutrition 

assistance program. Included in this amount is a reserve of 

$3,000,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2010. 

The bill includes $48,843,897,000 for program expenses, 

$1,760,435,000 for grants to Puerto Rico, $114,914,000 for the Food 

Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, and $250,000,000 for 

commodity purchase for the Emergency Food Assistance Program. 

Included in the recommended level for other program costs are 

$500,000 to increase assistance for USDA’s Center for Nutrition 

Policy and Promotion in the development and maintenance of 

MyPyramid and Dietary Guidelines materials in support of nutrition education for the eligible population; an increase of $3,000,000 

for payment accuracy and cooperative services, retailer integrity 

and trafficking, and computer support; and an increase of $500,000 

for program evaluation and modernization. 

Many low-income communities in urban centers, rural areas, and 

Tribal communities have the highest rates of diet-related diseases, 

such as diabetes and obesity. These communities also have poor access to healthy, affordable, and fresh foods in retail grocery stores, 

which can limit the real healthy food choices available to their families and children. The Department is encouraged to lead an interagency review of factors contributing to a lack of access to healthy 

foods and recommend ways to address these issues through existing government programs as well as private sector solutions. The 

Department is directed to study the issue of food desserts in lowincome communities and issue a report to the Committees no later 

than eighteen months from the date of enactment of this Act. 

FNS is directed to provide a report to the Committees on the feasibility of installing electronic benefit transfer machines at all of 

the district or county farmers markets across the country. 

The Secretary is encouraged to continue the purchase of bison 

from producer-owned and Native American owned cooperatives for 

the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. Although 

funding is not provided specifically for bison purchase, historically 

these purchases have been important for the Native American population both economically and nutritionally. 

COMMODITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The bill provides $230,800,000 for the Commodity Assistance 

Program. 

Of that amount, the bill provides $160,430,000 for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. It is expected that with this 

funding level, 2008 participation will be maintained. 

The bill provides $49,500,000 for administrative funding for the 

Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). In addition, the bill 

grants the Secretary authority to transfer up to an additional 10 

percent from TEFAP commodities for this purpose. 

The bill provides $19,800,000 for the Farmers’ Market Nutrition 

Program and the Secretary is directed to obligate these funds within 45 days.

NUTRITION PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION

The bill provides $142,595,000 for Nutrition Programs Administration. 

FNS awarded a contract to the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine (IOM) for review of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program meal patterns in February 

2008. In September 2008, the contract was modified to also include 

an examination of meal patterns in the Child and Adult Care Food 

Program (CACFP). A Phase I report outlining an approach to the 

analysis for school lunch and school breakfast was released in December 2008, and a set of recommendations for lunch and breakfast 

in a Phase II report is scheduled for publication in October 2009. 

The IOM Committee will then focus on meal patterns for the 

CACFP, with recommendations scheduled for publication in October 2010. FNS is directed to provide periodic updates as appropriate to the Committees. 

FNS is directed to make all policy documents related to the WIC 

program (including, but not limited to, instructions, memoranda, 

guidance, and questions and answers) available to the public on the 

internet within one week of their release to state WIC administrators.

FOREIGN ASSISTANCE AND RELATED PROGRAMS 

FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL SERVICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $165,436,000 for the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), Salaries and Expenses. 

The OIG highlighted in its 2007 Management Challenges report 

that one of USDA’s top challenges is to develop a ‘‘proactive, integrated strategy to assist agricultural producers to meet global 

trade challenges.’’ In light of this major management hurdle, concerns exist about a number of OIG’s recent findings regarding 

FAS’s market development programs. 

In 2007, OIG reviewed the extent to which FAS’s market development programs help to expand trading opportunities for U.S. agricultural products. In addition, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) also reviewed FAS’s market development programs 

in 2005. The two offices expressed concern that the programs could 

not provide assurance that they were effective or served a clear 

need. The offices also stated that the programs subsidized entities 

that may not need government funding and that the programs may 

not even provide useful information to U.S. exporting companies. 

The government’s investments in market development and trade 

promotion activities should be cost effective and achieve measurable outcomes. Accordingly, FAS is directed to submit to the Committees a report that details how the agency has addressed OIG’s 

recommendations and implemented management reforms; the results that newly instituted management reforms have had on proVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

The 2008 farm bill contained a provision mandating that a minimum level of Public Law 480 Title II resources be used for nonemergency assistance ($375,000,000 in fiscal year 2009), thereby 

creating a ‘‘safe-box’’ for non-emergency funds. FAS is directed to 

immediately notify the Committees once a determination is made 

that the need for emergency assistance will exceed the amount 

available. 

The Secretary, in consultation with the Administrator of the U.S.

The Food and Drug Administration has received significant increases in appropriated funds over the past several years. Specifically, the agency received an increase of $145,093,000, or nine percent, in the fiscal year 2008 appropriations act. An additional 

$150,000,000 in supplemental funding was provided to the agency 

during fiscal year 2008. This bill provides an increase of 

$324,672,000, or 19 percent, above the fiscal year 2008 funding 

level. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
101 

It is expected that these substantial funding increases will lead 

to significant improvements in food and medical product safety. 

FDA should also build on these improvements by taking broader 

approaches to addressing safety issues. In the foods area, for example, FDA might focus on the identification of the most significant 

food safety hazards, prioritized by risk and the ability to reduce 

such risks, and develop a plan with findings, resources and tools 

to address those specific risks. Further, FDA could do a compliance 

audit for a whole category of foods with significant safety issues, 

providing the agency with a much more complete understanding of 

their risks and what needs to be done to address them. This approach could have helped FDA in the investigation into the Salmonella outbreak during the summer of 2008, which originally focused on tomatoes before additional evidence suggested that peppers may have been the source of the contamination. This audit approach also could be taken in other product areas, especially with 

regard to foreign drug facilities. 

To ensure that FDA efficiently applies this funding increase to 

its most pressing needs, FDA is directed to provide an expenditure 

report to the Committees no later than 15 days after the end of 

each fiscal year quarter following the date of enactment of this Act. 

This report shall include specific information for: 

—The number of new hires and their estimated costs; 

—The number of inspections and their estimated costs; and 

—Information technology acquisition and development spending. 

All cost estimates and spending in the quarterly reports must be 

shown on a center/field basis. 

To provide a basis of comparison for the new activities in these 

reports, FDA is directed to include information on base funding, 

FTEs, inspections, and any other applicable base activity levels for 

each activity that has received increased funding. Finally, the reports must include up-to-date dollar obligation data for each enhanced activity. 

The bill provides an increase of $54,531,000 for cost of living adjustments instead of $25,000,000 as requested in the budget. The 

amount provided reflects the full estimated cost associated with 

maintaining FDA’s current staff levels in light of the hiring surge 

undertaken by the agency in fiscal year 2008. The bill provides an 

increase of $3,739,000 for rental payments to the General Services 

Administration. 

The bill includes an increase of $141,526,000 for activities related to food safety. An increase of more than $55,000,000 for food 

safety was provided in fiscal year 2008, and FDA received an additional $72,000,000 in supplemental funds during fiscal year 2008 

for food safety related activities. It is expected that this funding 

will result in increased safety measures for both domestic and imported food from production to consumption. 

Specifically, these funding increases will, at a minimum, provide 

FDA with the capability to: 

—Significantly increase the number of domestic and foreign, 

risk-based, food production and/or processing facility inspections 

(and other high-risk products), significantly increase the number of 

import food field exams, and achieve greater laboratory capacity to 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
102 

support increases in risk-based inspections and sampling of domestic and imported foods; 

—Develop and deploy risk-based screening technologies that will 

allow FDA to target high-risk products at the border; 

—Identify, develop and deploy new screening tools and methods 

to identify pathogens and other contaminants, including more rapid 

screening tools to be used by field investigators and analysts; 

—Establish an early warning surveillance and notification system to identify adulteration of the pet food supply and outbreaks 

of illnesses associated with pet food; 

— Enhance FDA’s national food emergency system, allowing 

FDA to develop a risk communication strategy that would result in 

more rapid responses and reductions in the risk of consumer contamination when food contamination occurs; 

—Expand its presence in foreign countries. FDA recently opened 

its first foreign office in China. With this increase, FDA will be 

able to establish FDA offices in other foreign locations, as appropriate. These offices are intended to enhance the ability of FDA inspectors to enter foreign food facilities and to gain a greater understanding of manufacturing processes overseas, resulting in more 

rapid identification of and response to any potential food safety 

issues. The FDA also will be able to assess the ability of foreign 

government systems to manage food safety risks; 

—Enhance FDA’s traceability capabilities for more rapid and 

precise product tracking, which will allow FDA to contain contaminated product and to provide consumers more specific information 

when problems occur; 

—Improve risk communications to the public during food-related 

events and make it easier to receive adverse events reports, including creating a reportable food registry; 

—Identify additional data and information needed to increase 

understanding of food protection risk and vulnerabilities by improving the quality of foodborne illness attribution data; and 

—Support partnerships with state and local partners through information technology, training and data sharing. 

The bill provides an increase of $1,000,000 for the Office of Cosmetics and Colors. 

The bill provides an increase of $114,211,000 for medical product 

safety. An increase of more than $21,000,000 for medical product 

safety was provided in fiscal year 2008, and FDA received an additional $58,000,000 in supplemental funds during fiscal year 2008 

for medical product safety. As noted above, it is expected that this 

funding will result in safer drugs, devices, and biologic products for 

consumers. Similar to a recent approach FDA has taken to address 

overall food safety issues, FDA is directed to prepare and provide 

to the Committees on Appropriations a comprehensive approach to 

ensuring the safety of medical products from the manufacturing of 

raw ingredients or components to consumer use. 

Specifically, these funding increases will, at a minimum, provide 

FDA with the capability to: 

—Significantly increase foreign and domestic medical product facility inspections, improve laboratory infrastructure and rapid analysis tools, and conduct many more laboratory analyses and several 

thousand import exams and samples; 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
103 

—Establish a unique device identification system to track devices, facilitate recalls, and support inventory management; 

—Begin to implement the safety requirements outlined in the 

Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act; 

—Upgrade the agency’s information technology to enable data 

sharing and enhanced analysis of adverse events; 

—Develop a regulated product information data warehouse that 

will enable information sharing with other regulatory agencies; and 

—Integrate risk-based information into data systems that will 

support FDA’s ability to improve electronic screening of imports 

and allow the agency to proactively identify problems and risks associated with imported products. 

The bill provides $16,000,000 for the critical path initiative, including not less than $4,000,000 for competitive contracts or grants 

to universities and non-profit organizations to support critical path 

projects. Funding for critical path activities is distributed throughout FDA’s program areas, and the Office of Critical Path Programs 

(OCPP) is responsible for coordinating these activities at the agency. It is understood that OCPP, working with FDA’s centers, will 

play a primary role in determining which critical path efforts the 

agency will undertake. 

The bill provides an increase of $6,620,000 for the Division of 

Drug Marketing, Advertising and Communication in CDER. The 

funding provided is to be used for the review of direct-to-consumer 

advertisements and is equal to the amount of funding that the 

budget estimated would have been raised by the fee in fiscal year 

2009. 

The bill provides $2,000,000 for Demonstration Grants for Improving Pediatric Device Availability, as authorized by the Food 

and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, in the Center 

for Devices and Radiological Health. Medical device products are 

typically developed for adults, limiting children’s access to safe and 

effective medical devices. This program will provide grants to nonprofit pediatric medical device consortia, which will assist scientists 

and innovators with technical and financial resources to improve 

the number of medical devices available to children. The Office of 

Orphan Products Development will be responsible for carrying out 

this program. 

The bill provides $6,000,000 for the Office of Women’s Health, an 

increase of $1,000,000. 

There is concern about the contamination of farm-raised shrimp 

imports with banned antibiotics. FDA currently inspects less than 

two percent of imported shrimp. FDA is strongly encouraged to develop, in cooperation with state testing programs, a program for increasing the inspection of imported shrimp for banned antibiotics. 

FDA is encouraged to conduct workshops and engage in other 

forms of communication with federal agencies, organizations involved in blood collection and others, to ensure that those organizations and the public understand the latest scientific information 

available on blood safety issues. 

There are poor survival rates and a lack of new therapies associated with many pediatric cancers, including high-risk neuroblastoma. FDA is encouraged to prioritize review of new treatments 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
104 

and clinical trials for pediatric oncology patients and provide a report on these activities. 

The bill provides no less than the fiscal year 2008 level in appropriated funds for activities related to the Mammography Quality 

Standards Act (MQSA). Appropriations for this program fund research grants and various activities to develop and enforce quality 

standards for mammography service. On June 26, 2008, the Committees received a report on actions being taken to implement recommendations made in the Institute of Medicine report entitled 

‘‘Breast Imaging Quality Standards.’’ The report stated that FDA 

held an open public meeting on September 28 and 29, 2006, and 

has been considering potential amendments to MQSA, which would 

address the IOM report, since this meeting. To date, FDA has not 

acted on any of these recommendations. This is an unacceptable 

delay. FDA is directed to report to the Committees on which 

amendments that FDA will propose to MQSA, if any, in response 

to the IOM report recommendations, and provide a timeline for 

these amendments. 

The importance of seafood to a healthy diet is recognized, but 

there are concerns that FDA does not focus sufficient attention on 

economic integrity issues, particularly with respect to mislabeling 

of species, weights, country of origin, and treatment. FDA is encouraged to work with states to more aggressively combat fraud in 

parts of the seafood industry. 

The Hawaii Department of Agriculture has proposed a state-wide 

standardized food safety certification system. FDA is encouraged to 

work with the State of Hawaii on this system and to provide funding if appropriate. 

Serious concerns have been raised about illnesses and deaths 

from Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Estimates suggest that tens of thousands of persons develop serious 

MRSA infections in the United States each year and thousands die. 

While both FDA and USDA fund research on this issue, more may 

need to be done. FDA is encouraged to work with USDA and CDC, 

through the National Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring System and/ 

or the Antibiotic Resistance Interagency Task Force, to address the 

issue of the prevalence of MRSA in domestic farm animals. The bill provides funding for the following items: $1,650,000 for 

the Agricultural Products Food Safety Laboratory at New Mexico 

State University; $525,000 for collaborative drug safety research at 

the Critical Path Institute and the University of Utah; $1,608,000 

for dietary supplements research at the National Center for Natural Products Research in Mississippi; $2,077,000 for the National 

Center for Food Safety and Technology, Summit-Argo, Illinois;

as the backlog of maintenance and repairs at FDA locations is significant. FDA is directed to prioritize this funding consistent with 

the backlog of maintenance and repairs and improve the average 

facility condition index at FDA sites. Within 30 days of the date of 

enactment of this Act, FDA is directed to provide a plan for allocating the funding to the Committees. The plan should include the 

methodology used to allocate the resources; the specific maintenance or repairs that will be conducted; whether the funding allocated to the site will complete a project or is partial funding for the 

project; and if partial funding for a project is provided, the full cost 

of completing the project.

(b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 

shall include in all such data releases, language similar to the following that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to 

draw broad conclusions about firearms-related crime: 

(1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale and 

possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies may 

request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons are 

not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all 

firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced 

are used in crime. 

(2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for purposes 

of determining which types, makes, or models of firearms are 

used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute 

a random sample and should not be considered representative 

of the larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any 

subset of that universe. Firearms are normally traced to the

when reasons for the temporary requirements have ceased. 

SEC. 521. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving appropriated funds under this Act or any other Act shall obligate or

DIVISION B—COMMERCE, JUSTICE, SCIENCE AND RELATED 

AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2009 

TITLE I—DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

INTERNATIONAL TRADE ADMINISTRATION

OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION

The bill includes $429,870,000 in total resources for the programs of the International Trade Administration (ITA). This 

amount includes a direct appropriation of $420,431,000 and estimated offsetting fee collections of $9,439,000. Funds are to be 

available for the following activities at no less than the following 

amounts: 

Import administration ........................................................................... $66,357,000 

Market access and compliance (MAC) ................................................. 42,332,000 

Manufacturing and services .................................................................. 48,592,000 

Executive direction ................................................................................ 25,411,000 

U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service ..................................................... 237,739,000 

Reporting requirements.—ITA is directed to submit to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations, not later than 60 days 

after the enactment of this Act, a spending plan for all ITA units 

that incorporates any carryover balances from prior fiscal years, 

and is updated to reflect the obligation of funds on a quarterly 

basis. 

The positive and negative effects of a free trade agenda are difficult to balance, but it is critical that the United States government upholds its responsibility to enforce trade laws, particularly 

with China. If trading partners do not abide by the rules that are 

set in the global trading system, United States firms are unable to 

compete on a level playing field. The United States government has 

an obligation to ensure that U.S. companies are not forced to compete with foreign companies that are engaged in unfair trading 

practices. 

Import Administration.—The bill includes not less than 

$66,357,000 for the Import Administration (IA). ITA is urged to implement proactive trade enforcement activities, including textile 

safeguard actions with respect to China’s World Trade Organization Accession Agreement, bilateral quotas on non-WTO members, 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
222 

and textile provision of the United States preferential programs 

and agreements, through filling of vacancies in enforcement offices. The bill designates $5,900,000 for the Office of China Compliance 

within the IA appropriation. The office is under-staffed and undergoing a reorganization that may potentially damage its long-term 

effectiveness. IA is directed to fully staff anti-dumping (AD) efforts 

and to ensure that the office consists of experienced investigators, 

accountants, trade analysts, and technical experts to aggressively 

investigate AD cases. The office shall notify the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations of any impediments to hiring or retaining this expertise. IA is further directed to expand the size of 

the AD and countervailing duty (CVD) verification teams and ensure new analysts receive on-site training in verification practices 

and techniques. IA’s absorption of $2,000,000 in fees in recent years has eroded 

resources that otherwise would have been expended in conducting 

investigations and reviews of AD/CVD cases. U.S. industries should 

not have to pay fees to file AD/CVD petitions; therefore, IA should 

not be charged for fees. 

Import monitoring.—ITA is expected to undertake apparel import 

monitoring, focusing on prices of imports from China and Vietnam 

and whether their state-run industries are illegally pricing products and dumping in the U.S. market. 

Travel expenditures.—The Department is directed to increase the 

number of investigative teams traveling to China and India, the 

sources of most trade complaints, to verify documentation of information provided by foreign companies. The Department is expected 

to submit quarterly reports to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations regarding ITA’s travel expenditures, including 

separate breakouts of funding, number of trips and the purposes of 

travel to both China and India. 

Appalachian-Turkish Trade Project (ATTP).—The Commercial 

Service is commended for its leadership role in helping to implement the mission of the ATTP, and is expected to continue to be 

a prominent ATTP sponsor. 

World Trade Organization.—The Department of Commerce is directed, in consultation with the United States Trade Representative, 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. The agency 

shall consult with and provide regular reports every 60 days to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. In addition, negotiations shall 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. 

Reduced fees.—ITA reduced fees for export promotion services 

and trade missions for 2005 hurricane-affected companies. In light 

of the ongoing need to encourage exporting and assist local businesses with their economic recovery efforts, ITA is encouraged to 

find ways to extend these fee reductions through fiscal year 2009 

for companies affected by hurricanes in the Gulf region.

which is $149,168,000 above the request. 

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMS

The bill includes $240,000,000 for the Economic Development Assistance Programs, an increase of $147,200,000 above the request. 

Of the amounts provided, funds are to be distributed as follows: 

Global climate change mitigation initiative ........................................ $14,700,000

Global Climate Change Mitigation Fund.—The bill provides 

$14,700,000 for the Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive 

Fund, $13,600,000 above the request. Economic development must 

address the effects of climate change. EDA is directed to provide 

a report and spend plan on the fund to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, no later than 90 days after enactment 

of the Act. The report should detail the scope of the fund, the criteria for approval of fund expenditures, and the methodology EDA 

will employ when reviewing grants. 

Public Works.—The bill provides $133,280,000 for Public Works, 

$126,080,000 above the budget request. These funds are critical to 

local communities and industries faced with increased economic 

pressures and dislocations in the rapidly changing global economy. 

Planning.—The bill provides $31,000,000 for planning, 

$4,000,000 above the request. EDA is directed to allocate 

$3,700,000 of the additional planning resources to the existing network of 370 Economic Development Districts (EDDs), with the remaining $300,000 to reduce the backlog of designated-but-unfunded 

EDDs. This increase provides EDDs with the flexibility needed to 

engage local government, business, and community leadership in 

setting and pursuing strategic job creation and retention initiatives 

effectively. 

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).—The bill provides 

$15,800,000 for trade adjustment assistance, an increase of 

$1,700,000 over the request. Not less than $200,000 and no more 

than $350,000 shall be available to fund permanent FTE. TAA has 

been heavily dependent on interns to process key program elements. While interns can supplement staff, they should not be reVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00219 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

lied upon to solve permanently staffing shortages. EDA is directed 

to provide quarterly reports on its progress in hiring of permanent 

FTE and processing levels, to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations, with the first report to be delivered within 90 days 

of enactment of this Act. 

Hawaii field office.—EDA is strongly encouraged to increase staff 

support for this field office due to its exceptionally large geographic 

area. 

Funding disbursements.—EDA is directed to allocate all funding, 

including supplemental and disaster funding, through the competitive, regional allocation process. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $32,800,000 for EDA salaries and expenses, 

$1,968,000 above the budget request. 

Current operational structure.—The bill fully funds the request 

for salaries and expenses appropriation, which provides adequate 

funding to begin filling vacancies within regional offices. EDA is directed to fill vacancies within regional offices prior to filling vacancies within headquarters. Continued commitment to the current 

operational structure, with six regional offices in Atlanta, Austin, 

Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, and Seattle, is reiterated. 

Transfer authority.—The bill includes language providing EDA 

with permissive transfer authority, not to exceed $4,000,000, from 

EDA program grants, subject to the Section 505 limitations on 

transfers, for additional salaries and expenses for grant administration and management. EDA is also strongly encouraged to utilize retired EDA officials to address staffing needs on a volunteer 

basis. 

MINORITY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AGENCY

MINORITY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The bill includes $29,825,000 for the Minority Business Development Agency, which is $1,202,000 above the budget request. Within the funds provided, existing Native American Business Development Centers are continued, and $825,000 is provided for the following activities:

ECONOMIC AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $90,621,000 for this account, which is $500,000 

above the budget request. 

BUREAU OF THE CENSUS

The bill includes a total operating level of $3,139,850,000 for the 

Bureau of the Census, which is the same as the budget request. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $233,588,000 for this account, which is the 

same as the budget request. Of this amount, $45,742,000 is for the 

Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), which is 

$486,000 above the budget request. This funding provides for a full 

SIPP sample of 45,000 households to begin in September 2008 and 

will allow for improvements, including security enhancements, to 

the current SIPP system by fiscal year 2012. 

PERIODIC CENSUSES AND PROGRAMS

The bill provides $2,906,262,000 for this account, which is the 

same as the budget request. 

2010 Decennial Census.—Full funding of the request has been 

provided to return the 2010 Census to a more reliable, paper-based 

operation, with the expectation that the new Administration will 

focus the requisite oversight to ensure a successful Decennial. It is 

noted that the Department’s past lack of critical oversight and the 

previous Administration’s lack of attention to the 2010 Decennial 

significantly increased the risk of failure for this constitutionallymandated effort. 

Life cycle cost estimate.—The Census Bureau has recently negotiated a replan of the FDCA contract which will utilize the 

handheld devices only for the address canvassing and rely on a 

paper-based operation for non-response followup. This replan results in a significant increase in the life cycle cost of the Decennial 

Census, but allows for greater predictability in remaining cost estimates. The full impact of the life cycle increase is as yet undefined, 

but may increase by $3,000,000,000. The Census Bureau is directed 

to implement the Government Accountability Office’s June 16, 

2008, report recommendations on life cycle cost estimates and provide an updated life cycle cost estimate with the submission of the 

fiscal year 2010 budget request. 

2010 Decennial milestones.—Report language that accompanies 

the fiscal year 2008 supplemental appropriations for the Census 

Bureau regarding the development and reporting of milestones associated with the 2010 Census is adopted by reference. 

Communications.—Paid media is critical to promoting increased 

participation in the 2010 Decennial, particularly in minority and 

other hard-to-count populations. In the 2000 Decennial, it improved 

the rate of response, particularly in communities with limited 

English proficiency. Despite operational improvements to the Census’ conduct of the Decennial and upfront purchasing of media, the 

return to a paper-based nonresponse followup should result in a reVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00222 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

evaluation of communication needs in light of changes to the process. Census is directed to conduct such reevaluation, and to submit 

a comprehensive communication plan in its fiscal year 2010 budget 

request that incorporates the effect of the replan and lack of 

handhelds for non-response followup. 

Partnerships.—The Bureau of the Census is directed to allocate 

sufficient funding from within the appropriation provided to support robust partnership and outreach efforts in preparation for the 

2010 Decennial, with specific focus on hard-to-reach populations. 

Funding provided for the census partnership program will enlist 

community leaders to encourage their constituencies to fill out 

their census forms, emphasizing the importance of the census to 

their local community and education system. The increase in mailback response rates as a result of such promotional efforts will likely result in substantial savings during nonresponse followup enumeration. 

Language assistance programs.—The Census Bureau is directed 

to provide updates on a semi-annual basis on its language assistance program, including information on how it will reach and assist 

respondents who speak Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native 

languages, Spanish, and other languages spoken by ethnic immigrants in the United States for the American Community Survey 

(ACS) and the 2010 Decennial. 

Additional outreach.—The Census Bureau is directed to provide 

not less than $10,000,000 for Census in Schools competitive grants 

and adult education materials for the 2010 Decennial. Census in 

Schools and adult education materials provide significant outreach 

to hard-to-reach populations through the medium of take-home materials that educate students, their parents and their extended 

families. 

Data on small population groups.—In many ethnic and immigrant communities, gathering accurate information about smaller 

subgroups is extremely important for policymakers, as the needs 

among the various populations vary significantly. The Census Bureau is urged to ensure that reliable information about Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and other national origins subgroups, especially numerically smaller groups, is collected from the ACS and 

Decennial census and published. The Bureau is directed to report 

back to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees within 

90 days of enactment of this Act, describing the steps it will take 

to ensure the availability and accuracy of the data. 

Offshore U.S. jurisdictions.—The efforts of the Census Bureau to 

consider new options for reporting data reflecting all citizens of the 

United States, including Puerto Rico and other offshore U.S. jurisdictions, are noted. 

NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION

ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $19,218,000 for the salaries and expenses of the 

National Telecommunications and Information Administration 

(NTIA), which is $773,000 above the budget request.

Enhance 911.—The Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Fund made $43,500,000 available in mandatory funding to 

implement the ENHANCE 911 Act of 2004. The Assistant Secretary is directed to coordinate the work of the NTIA on this critical program with other relevant Federal agencies. 

Reimbursements.—The bill retains language from previous years 

allowing the Secretary of Commerce to collect reimbursements from 

other Federal agencies for a portion of the cost of coordination of 

spectrum management, analysis, and operations. The NTIA shall 

submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than June 1, 2009, detailing the collection of reimbursements from other agencies related to spectrum management, analyses and research. 

PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, PLANNING AND

CONSTRUCTION

The bill includes $20,000,000 for Public Telecommunications Facilities, Planning and Construction. The budget request proposed to 

terminate this program. 

UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $2,010,100,000 for the United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO), which is the same as the USPTO revised fee collection estimate dated December 5, 2008. 

National Intellectual Property Law Enforcement Coordination 

Council (NIPLECC).—The bill includes a provision that transfers $750,000 to ‘‘Departmental Management, Salaries and Expenses’’ 

for activities associated with NIPLECC. In subsequent years, it is 

expected that funds will be requested through the Executive Office 

of the President. 

Backlog of patent applications.—The Government Accountability 

Office has found that the backlog of unexamined patent applications at the USPTO has increased by nearly 73 percent since fiscal 

year 2002. Currently, the average pendency of applications is 32 

months. If this trend continues, average pendency will be 52 

months by 2012. Since 2005, the USPTO budget has grown by over 

$500,000,000, yet pendency and backlog have worsened. Therefore, 

the bill includes language transferring $2,000,000 to the Office of 

Inspector General for the express purpose of conducting continual 

audit engagements and oversight at the USPTO. 

The USPTO has responded to the backlog by issuing final rules 

limiting the ability of applicants to modify their applications with 

additional information and claims through the use of continuing 

applications, even though an overwhelming majority of users of the 

patent system objected when given the opportunity for public comment. In addition, the United States District Court for the Eastern 

District of Virginia has enjoined the issuance of the rules changes 

as exceeding the statutory authority of the Undersecretary and Director. 

However, the sustained increase in the number of applications 

that has given rise to the increasing backlog is largely a consequence of a globalized economy in which applicants are filing in 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
231 

more than one jurisdiction. This means that the USPTO and other 

national patent offices are duplicating one another’s work. The 

Government Accountability Office has found that the hiring of additional patent examiners has not been sufficient to reverse this 

trend, and is therefore unlikely to resolve the backlog problem. 

Therefore, the most likely means of reducing the pendency of patent applications is for the leading patent offices to make more effective use of one another’s work. The USPTO is directed to take 

actions to reduce duplication of work already performed by another 

patent office in a manner that does not compromise the quality of 

the examination or compromise the sovereignty of the United 

States. The USPTO is also encouraged to review its proposed rules 

changes so that they fall within the statutory authority of the Director and take into account the concerns of the majority of users 

of the patent system. 

USPTO operations.—The USPTO is directed to adopt the principles of the Baldrige National Quality Program, which represents 

the pinnacle of performance excellence for American business. The 

USPTO is directed to work with the Baldrige program to begin the 

process of incorporating these principles and to report to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations on a quarterly basis on 

progress made towards adoption. 

Patent examiners.—Numerous reviews conducted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have shown that for every two 

examiners hired, one leaves the agency, many citing the unreasonable work productivity goals as a major reason for their departure. 

These goals, first adopted in the 1970s, have not been updated to 

address the ever more complex technologies that encompass today’s 

patent applications. The unrealistic goals are encouraging junior 

examiners to leave, and that will make it difficult to replace the 

productivity rates of senior examiners when they retire. Thus, the 

bill includes language withholding $5,000,000 of fees from obligation pending a comprehensive reevaluation of the work productivity 

goals for patent examiners and submission of the results to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. 

Spend plan.— Any deviations from the funding distribution provided for in this Act and in its accompanying statement, including 

carryover balances, are subject to the standard reprogramming procedures set forth in section 505 of this Act. The USPTO is directed 

to submit a spending plan to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations, incorporating all carryover balances from previous 

years and describing any changes to the patent or trademark fee 

structure, within 30 days of enactment of this Act. 

Fee estimate.—It is noted that the USPTO’s actual fee collections 

for the last four fiscal years have been less than the earlier estimates. The uncertainty of fees is understandable; however, results 

in excess appropriations. USPTO is therefore directed to provide revised fee estimates for fiscal year 2010 to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations, no later than September 1, 2009. 

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY

The bill includes $819,000,000 for the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST), which is $183,000,000 above the 

request.

of this Act, NIST is directed to provide a spend plan that coincides 

with the budget restructuring the agency proposed to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations on July 7, 2008. NIST 

is encouraged to devote resources to its Measurement & Standards 

for Climate Change Program and the Office of Law Enforcement 

Standards. 

Printed electronics study.—Flexible, large area and printed electronics technology holds great promise for the competitiveness of 

the United States. NIST shall enter into an agreement with the 

National Academy of Sciences to undertake a study that examines 

the position of the United States in flexible electronics relative to 

efforts in other countries. The National Academies shall also consider the particular technologies and commercial sectors to which 

flexible electronics apply and the recommendations that must be 

undertaken at a Federal level for a national initiative. 

Working Capital Fund (WCF).—Within the appropriation, the bill 

provides up to $9,000,000 for transfer to NIST’s WCF, which is 

$3,300,000 less than the budget request. 

NIST is directed to refrain from charging administrative costs for 

congressionally directed projects, and is expected to provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant. Within the appropriation, $3,000,000 is provided for the following congressionally directed activities:

NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION

The bill includes a total of $4,365,196,000 in discretionary appropriations for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is $261,283,000 above the request. 

Justification.—NOAA is directed to work with the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations to reformat its justification 

into a more useable and user-friendly document, starting with the 

fiscal year 2010 submission. 

Research and development (R&D) tracking and outcomes.— 

NOAA is directed to continue tracking the division of R&D funds 

between intramural and extramural research, and is further directed to assure consistency and clarity in the collection and reporting of data. NOAA is also directed to state clearly its expected research outcomes and available funding in order to provide transparency into the competitive grant process for extramural researchers. By not providing enough extramural research funding, NOAA 

risks discouraging extramural involvement in NOAA’s research 

programs and the concomitant leveraging of external funds in support of mission-oriented research. Thus, NOAA is encouraged to 

provide additional extramural funding in future budget requests. 

Atmospheric sciences.—NOAA is urged to make atmospheric 

sciences a priority within the resources made available in the bill 

and to request additional resources in subsequent years to advance 

this research. 

OPERATIONS, RESEARCH, AND FACILITIES

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The bill includes a total program level of $3,133,549,000 under 

this account for the coastal, fisheries, marine, weather, satellite 

and other programs of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This total funding level includes $3,045,549,000 in direct appropriations, a transfer of $79,000,000 from balances in the 

‘‘Promote and Develop Fishery Products and Research Pertaining 

to American Fisheries’’ account, a transfer of $3,000,000 from the 

Coastal Zone Management Fund, and $6,000,000 is derived from 

recoveries of prior year obligations. The direct appropriation of

Regional geospatial modeling grants.—The bill provides 

$7,000,000 to continue funding for this competitive program for 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. 

Tides and current data.—The bill provides $31,337,000, which is 

$2,500,000 above the request, to better support existing operations 

and maintenance of Physical Oceanographic Real-Time Systems 

(PORTS). 

Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS).—The bill provides a 

total of $26,500,000 for IOOS, of which no more than $6,500,000 

is for program administration and $20,000,000 is provided only for 

a competitive, regional ocean observing systems solicitation. NOAA 

is directed, as part of the IOOS 5-year strategic plan, to develop 

a strategy for incorporating observations systems from estuaries, 

bays and other near shore waters as part of the IOOS regional network of observatories. NOAA is directed not to tax the funds designated for regional observation systems as the bill provides more 

than adequate resources for programmatic administration. 

National Centers for Coastal and Ocean Science (NCCOS).— 

Within the NCCOS program, the bill provides $15,801,000 for research related to HABs, Hypoxia, and Regional Ecosystems. NOAA 

is directed to use these funds for externally-based research. 

Coral reef program.—Within the NOS appropriation, $28,900,000 

is provided for the coral reef program, which is $2,266,000 above 

the request and includes $737,000 for coral reef monitoring as requested under the NESDIS section; $750,000 in additional funding 

for international coral reef monitoring efforts; and $500,000 for additional funding within the Caribbean. NOAA is directed to consolidate agency-wide coral reef activities under this one NOS line item 

for future budget requests.

240 

Hawaiian monk seal.—The bill provides $35,800,000 for Protected Species Research and Management programs, which is 

$1,034,000 above the request. NMFS is directed to utilize funding 

of no less than $5,734,000 for the Hawaiian monk seal. The Hawaiian monk seal may be one of the world’s most endangered marine 

species, and the agency has not provided adequate funding to reverse its decline. 

Fisheries research and management programs.—The bill provides 

$155,526,000 for fisheries research and management programs and 

regional science and operations to fully fund Magnuson-Stevens Act 

requirements. 

Fisheries habitat restoration.—The bill provides $22,953,000. 

NOAA is directed to apply $500,000 for the improvement of the living resources of the Chesapeake Bay watershed headwater 

streams. 

Chesapeake Bay oyster restoration.—The bill provides $4,600,000 

for oyster restoration in the Chesapeake Bay. Of these funds, 

$2,600,000 is provided for oyster restoration in Maryland waters of 

the Chesapeake Bay, which shall be for on-the-ground and in-thewater restoration efforts. In addition, $2,000,000 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. 

Regional studies, Chesapeake Bay.—NOAA’s Chesapeake Bay Office is directed to develop, within nine months after enactment of 

this Act, a collaborative strategic research and assessment program 

with the States of Maryland and Virginia. This program will advance multiple species management by focusing on blue crabs, oysters, and other resource species. In developing this program, NOAA 

shall utilize the Sea Grant programs from both States. 

Blue crab disaster assistance.—The bill provides $10,000,000 to 

be equally divided between the States of Maryland and Virginia for 

economic assistance to watermen and communities impacted by the 

Secretary’s blue crab disaster declaration of September 22, 2008. 

New England fisheries assistance.—The bill provides $10,000,000 

to assist New England’s fisheries impacted by regulations and 

catch reductions. NOAA is directed to provide the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with a spend plan for such 

funds within 30 days of enactment of this Act. 

Pacific salmon restoration.—The San Joaquin River Restoration 

Settlement will restore California’s second longest river and help 

rebuild imperiled Pacific salmon runs. NMFS is obligated, under 

the Federal court order, to participate in the restoration planning 

and settlement implementation along with other Federal agencies. 

NMFS is expected to adhere to the requirements of the court order 

and report back to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on any developments.

Williston radar.—NOAA is directed to maintain staffing and operations at the Williston Radar site through fiscal year 2009. 

National mesonet network grants.—The National Research Council (NRC) has completed a study for NOAA, ‘‘Developing Mesoscale 

Meteorological Observational Capabilities to Meet Multiple National Needs’’ which provides a framework for a full scale national 

mesonet network. In particular, the NRC calls for the use of public/ 

private partnerships, the aggregation of a network of networks and 

the leveraging of existing networks (public and private), as components of the national mesonet for high priority regions—mountains, 

coastal, and urban. The bill provides $11,000,000 for NOAA to procure competitively a national mesonet, which will provide the critical information needed to improve short- and medium-term weather forecasting (down to local scales), plume dispersion and climate 

monitoring, as well as air quality analyses. NOAA is directed to 

utilize $5,000,000 of these funds to maintain operations for existing 

mesonet network observation agreements. NOAA is further directed to utilize $1,500,000 to examine the use of real time mobile 

data collected from commercial trucking operators to evaluate, validate and demonstrate the efficacy of providing supplemental 

weather information to improve the safety and efficiency of the national highway system. NOAA is directed to provide to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 90 days after enactment, a plan, including policies and requirements, for the operation of the national mesonet, as well as integration of mesonet 

data into NWS field offices, mesoscale numerical weather prediction models, and with the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS), as part of the AWIPS Technology Infusion 

program. NOAA is further directed to make awards no later than 

September 1, 2009. 

Central forecast guidance.—An additional $10,000,000 is provided above the amount requested for central forecast guidance to 

reflect more accurately that these funds shall be available primarily for rent, operations and security of the NOAA Center for 

Weather and Climate Prediction. The increase corresponds with a 

decrease of funds for the same amount requested for Center for 

Weather and Climate Prediction under NOAA’s PAC account. 

National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service 

(NESDIS).—The bill includes $187,422,000 for NESDIS operations, 

research and facilities, which is $22,130,000 above the request. 

These funds are distributed as follows:

246 

Coral reef monitoring.—Funding for this request has been moved 

to the ocean assessment program within the National Ocean Service. 

Ocean surface vector winds studies.—The bill does not include 

funding for the ocean surface vector winds studies. Instead, 

NESDIS is directed to conduct the study in-house and within available appropriations, and in conjunction with NASA, which has been 

directed similarly. 

Data centers and information services.—The bill includes 

$56,506,000 for archive, access and assessment, which is 

$16,917,000 above the request and provides for additional data and 

information archive services to address the backlog. 

Space-based scientific data.—NOAA is directed to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 60 days 

after enactment of this Act, on its plans to obtain space-based scientific data from commercial sources over the next three years.

Climate modeling and information technology security.—NOAA’s 

plans to upgrade its high performance computing and communications are supported with $20,000,000 above the request to accelerate climate modeling improvements and improve information 

technology services. NOAA is also encouraged to expand its partnership with the Department of Energy and the National Science 

Foundation to provide supercomputing capacity to help meet research needs. 

Competitive education grants.—The bill provides $8,500,000 for 

competitive education grants, of which $7,500,000 is for a new 

ocean education grant program. Eligible recipients of the ocean 

education grants must be non-profit 501(c)(3) aquariums accredited 

by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums with informal education 

partnerships regarding the ocean. The grants require a 50 percent 

non-Federal cost share and can be used for capital improvements, 

exhibit space and educational program development projects originating within the aquarium. 

BWET regional programs.—NOAA is directed to continue to support existing BWET programs and is encouraged to expand this 

program to additional regions. 

Marine operations and maintenance.—Increased funding for marine services and aviation services is provided above the request to 

offset increased fuel charges and to ensure critical research and operations are conducted. 

Fleet planning and maintenance.—Given the trend in lost sea 

days, an additional $11,000,000 is provided above the request to 

better ensure NOAA vessels are manned properly and operate safely. Improving fleet conditions and increasing days at sea will 

strengthen NOAA’s ability to carry out many critical missions, including fisheries surveys, climate research, and nautical charting. 

Diving regulations.—NOAA’s diving program is critical to conducting scientific research, ship maintenance and marine operations, and NOAA’s unique mission requires unique diving operations. Section 106 of this bill provides the Secretary the authority 

to prescribe diving regulations. Within 90 days of enactment, 

NOAA is directed to submit a plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on how the agency will implement its 

own scientific and working diver regulations by the end of the fiscal year, which shall include recommendations on improving the viability, safety and efficiency of the NOAA diving program in outyears. 

Congressionally-directed items.—Within the appropriation for operations, research and facilities, the bill provides for the following 

Congressionally-directed activities:

258 

NOAA satellite systems.—The bill includes $965,667,000 for geostationary and polar orbiting satellite programs and the restoration 

of critical climate sensors. The impact of the GOES–R out-year 

costs on NOAA’s traditional mission areas is troubling, as GOES– 

R demands an ever-increasing percentage of NOAA’s budget. If investments in necessary satellite infrastructure must be funded 

within NOAA’s budget, those requirements should be accommodated in NOAA’s budget requests without impinging on NOAA’s 

other critical mission priorities. Furthermore, both the GOES–R 

and NPOESS programs are entering critical phases of their respective developments during the transition of administrations. The Office of Inspector General recommended that the Department of 

Commerce establish thresholds and procedures for reporting and 

improving major deviations from GOES–R’s capability, cost, and 

schedule baseline, as well as enhancements to the baseline. NOAA 

and the Department of Commerce are directed to implement this 

recommendation no later than March 2, 2009. 

VIIRS.—The VIIRS instrument has consistently caused major 

delays and cost overruns to the NPOESS program. Development 

delays continue; forcing postponement in the launch of the NPP 

mission, and almost certainly delaying the launch of C1 and C2 of 

NPOESS. Therefore, NOAA is directed to provide, no later than 

March 2, 2009, to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, a revised total cost estimate to build and install the current 

VIIRS instrument for NPP, C1 and C2, as well as an analysis of 

alternatives to the VIIRS instrument, including cost estimates and 

risk analysis, as well as the matrix for development and contract 

performance. 

Comprehensive large array data stewardship system (CLASS).— NOAA CLASS is directed to establish a sound technical plan and 

implement foundation elements to move CLASS architecture to an 

enterprise solution that supports the anticipated increase in the demand for archival and distribution of current and planned data 

campaigns. NOAA CLASS is further directed to examine the technical and programmatic components required to establish an interface-to-data archives for the purpose of creating information products that would add value for stakeholders and the user community. 

Construction.—The bill provides $10,000,000 for program support 

construction, which allows NOAA to begin its highest priority construction projects. 

Cooperative Weather and Research Center.—The southeast 

United States experiences more severe weather events, such as 

hurricanes, tornados, lightning, flooding and severe droughts, than 

any other region of the country. NOAA dedicates few resources to 

respond and prepare for severe weather events in this area, and 

unlike other regions, the Southeast does not possess the surveillance, research and forecasting assets to study and predict these 

events. The bill provides a total of $10,550,000 for the NWS to 

build a Cooperative Institute and Research Center for Southeast 

Weather and Hydrology and to begin to develop and acquire dual 

polar, phased array and multi-frequency Doppler Radars and passive radiometers to study storms, improve rainfall estimates, and 

to begin to provide the citizens of the Southeast with state-of-theVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00252 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

art weather research and prediction capabilities. Of the funding 

provided, up to $1,500,000 shall be used for operations. 

NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction.—Based on revised information, the bill fully funds the request for the NCWCP 

building, but has shifted $10,000,000 to the ORF appropriation to 

more accurately reflect that these funds will be used primarily for 

rent, operations, and security of this facility. 

Congressionally-directed items.—Within the appropriation for 

procurement, acquisition and construction, the bill provides for the 

following Congressionally-directed activities:

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations that audits 

and evaluates all decision documents and expenditures by the Bureau of Census as they relate to the 2010 Decennial. The bill also 

includes language that restricts $5,000,000 of the available appropriation from obligation until the Secretary certifies to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations that the Bureau of Census has met all standards and best management practices and Office of Management and Budget guidelines related to information 

technology projects and contract management. 

Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee Program (ESLG).—The proposed rescission of the remaining unobligated subsidy balances associated with the ESLG program is rejected. 

Information Technology (IT) security.—Within the appropriation, 

the bill provides an increase of $4,117,000 to address the Department’s IT security material weaknesses and other concerns raised 

by the Inspector General. 

HERBERT C. HOOVER BUILDING RENOVATION AND MODERNIZATION

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The bill includes $25,800,000 for the Office of Inspector General, 

which is $1,034,000 above the request. The increased funding is

TITLE II—DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

For fiscal year 2009, the bill provides $105,805,000 for General 

Administration (GA), which is equal to the budget request. 

Materials in support of the annual budget request.—The Department of Justice (DOJ) was the only agency under the CJS Subcommittee’s jurisdiction which was unable to meet the liberal timetables imposed for submission of additional requested information 

in support of the Department’s fiscal year 2009 budget. The Department is directed to take any action necessary to ensure that 

such delays do not occur in the fiscal year 2010 budget process. 

Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigations.—The 

Department shall continue to support OPR’s ongoing reviews of the 

Federal government’s interrogation methods and warrantless wireVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00256 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

263 

tapping practices, particularly through the provision of relevant 

documents and witnesses. It is expected that these investigations 

will be expeditiously pursued until they are complete. 

Resolution of jurisdictional disputes.—The Department is currently engaged in several jurisdictional disputes, both among DOJ 

components and between DOJ and other federal agencies. Particularly troubling examples include the ongoing conflict between the 

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, 

Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) over the investigation of 

explosives crimes and the dispute between DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the appropriate location for 

the Office of Bombing Prevention. The Attorney General (AG) is directed to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations no later than 120 days after the enactment of this 

Act on the steps the Department has taken in order to reconcile 

these disputes and clarify the jurisdictional lines between FBI and 

ATF and between DOJ and DHS. 

Immigration workload.—DOJ’s budget request fails to articulate, 

or account for, the increased resource requirements that result 

from other agencies’ activities. This is particularly true with respect to immigration, where the Department has been repeatedly 

forced to redirect internal resources in order to provide necessary 

judicial support and basic care for aliens turned over to DOJ by 

DHS. The practical effect of these redirections has been cuts to 

non-immigration programs at DOJ. In order to accurately estimate 

the magnitude of these funding pressures, a methodology is required to create defensible fiscal linkages between DHS activities 

and DOJ costs. The Department is directed to contract with the 

National Academy of Sciences to develop, test and select a budget 

model that accurately captures these fiscal linkages and leverages 

them into an estimate of DOJ’s immigration-related costs. The 

$1,000,000 necessary to perform this study should be funded within 

the appropriated level for this account, and the resulting conclusions should be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations upon completion, but not later than 20 months after 

the enactment of this Act. 

Rent estimates.—The rent estimates produced by the Justice 

Management Division are frequently incorrect, sometimes by tens 

of millions of dollars. The Department is urged to continue making 

improvements in its facilities and rent management system in 

order to improve the accuracy of future requests. 

National threat drug gangs.—No later than one year after the 

enactment of this Act, the AG, in consultation with the Secretary 

of Homeland Security, shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a report, in both classified and unclassified form, identifying the three international drug gangs that 

present the greatest threat to law and order in the United States; 

describing the composition, operations, strengths and weaknesses 

of each of these gangs; and setting forth a national strategy to 

eliminate within four years the illegal operations of each identified 

gang. 

In choosing the three gangs to be included, which will be designated as ‘‘National Threat Drug Gangs,’’ the AG shall consider 

the extent to which the gang conducts activities with any interVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00257 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

national terrorist organization or state designated by the Secretary 

of State as a sponsor of terrorism; the volume of controlled substances that the gang imports to or distributes within the United 

States; and the extent to which the gang is a threat to children and 

schools within the United States. 

Overseas pay equivalency.—The Department is directed to address issues relating to danger pay and locality adjustment disparities between DOJ employees serving abroad and overseas employees of other agencies. The Department is further directed to report 

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 

days of the enactment of this Act on the steps taken to address 

these disparities. 

Data center operations.—GAO is requested to review the operational costs of the Department’s data centers from fiscal year 2006 

through fiscal year 2008 and to report its findings to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than June 1, 2009. 

Budget restructuring proposals.—All accounts within DOJ shall 

continue to use the fiscal year 2008 decision units and account 

structures unless otherwise specified in prior years or in the body 

of this explanatory statement. 

Representation funds for foreign field offices.—The lack of representation funds available for foreign field office staff to perform 

their official duties in stations outside of the continental United 

States is concerning. Agents in foreign field offices not only develop 

contacts with international law enforcement and intelligence agencies, but are also responsible for myriad other functions, including 

the detection and prevention of terrorism and crime, training, information sharing and responding to terrorist attacks internationally. These contacts serve a critical role in increasing Federal law 

enforcement’s ability to identify and disrupt terrorist and criminal 

activity domestically. Therefore, FBI, ATF, the Drug Enforcement 

Administration (DEA) and the United States Marshals Service 

(USMS) are directed to increase the amount of representation 

funds requested for foreign field offices. 

JUSTICE INFORMATION SHARING TECHNOLOGY

The bill provides $80,000,000 for Justice Information Sharing 

Technology (JIST), which is $13,868,000 below the budget request. 

Cyber security.—No later than 60 days after the enactment of 

this Act, the Department is directed to report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations on expected cyber security 

costs in the JIST account for fiscal year 2009 and the Department’s 

plan for covering these costs without additional requested resources. 

Unified Financial Management System (UFMS).—Delays and 

other issues with the live deployment of UFMS at DEA have created concerns about the Department’s ability to meet appropriate 

standards of success for this project. Rather than providing the relatively modest UFMS funding requested in this account, the bill focuses on fully funding the other important IT projects supported by 

JIST. Once the Department can demonstrate that UFMS deployment at DEA has proceeded successfully, a reprogramming will be 

considered to meet the UFMS project’s projected 2009 needs. That 

reprogramming should include both those funds originally intended 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
265 

for reprogramming in 2009, as well as the balance of UFMS funds 

originally requested for appropriation in this account. 

TACTICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

The bill provides $185,000,000 for Tactical Law Enforcement Wireless Communications, which is $63,349,000 above the budget 

request. 

Integrated Wireless Network (IWN).—The request for this account does not sufficiently address the Department’s communications deficiencies and will contribute to the ongoing delays in the 

nationwide deployment of the IWN solution. Accordingly, the bill 

provides a total of $88,249,000 for IWN and directs the Department 

to use these funds for accelerated IWN deployment in high priority 

metropolitan regions. Consistent with planning materials submitted along with the budget request, the Department is directed 

to use these funds only for the modernization and improvement of 

land mobile radio (LMR) systems. Any plans related to secure cellular or data systems, or non-LMR tactical equipment, must be 

budgeted for and requested separately. 

To aid in program management and oversight, the Department 

is directed to set specific and detailed performance milestones for 

the use of IWN funds, including dates for planned completion. 

These milestones should be reported to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of the enactment of this 

Act, and quarterly updates should be provided on the Department’s 

progress in meeting those milestones. 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. 

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AND APPEALS

The bill provides $270,000,000 for Administrative Review and Appeals, including $267,613,000 for the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), which is $6,209,000 above the budget request. The appropriation is offset by $4,000,000 in fees that are collected by the Department of Homeland Security and transferred to 

EOIR. 

Hiring new immigration judges.—Within funds provided, $5,000,000 is made available to hire new immigration judges and 

support personnel to address the growing caseload. The Department and EOIR are directed, within 90 days of enactment of this 

Act, to submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a strategic plan to address the case backlogs. 

Legal Orientation Program (LOP).—With funds provided in this 

bill and in prior year appropriations, EOIR is directed to provide 

not less than $4,000,000 for the LOP program during fiscal year 

2009. 

Immigration court reforms.—Within 30 days of enactment of this 

Act, the Department is directed to report to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations on the implementation status of the 

22 reform measures to improve the efficiency of immigration courts 

that were identified by the Attorney General in August, 2006. 

Competency evaluation standards.—EOIR is encouraged to work 

with experts and interested parties in developing standards and 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
266 

materials for immigration judges to use in conducting competency 

evaluations of persons appearing before the courts. 

The bill provides $2,387,000 for the Office of Pardon Attorney to 

support a total of 15 permanent positions and 15 FTE. 

DETENTION TRUSTEE

The bill provides $1,295,319,000 for the Office of the Detention 

Trustee (ODT), which is equal to the budget request. 

Immigration workload.—ODT appears to have significant difficulties accurately estimating its annual funding requirements, 

particularly with respect to its immigration workload. If additional 

immigration-related funding is required in excess of the amount 

provided herein, the Department may submit a reprogramming request to address those needs, consistent with section 505 of this 

Act. 

Population and cost data.—ODT is directed to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on a quarterly 

basis the projected and actual number of individuals in the detention system, the annualized costs associated with those individuals 

and the costs reimbursed from other Federal agencies. 

District of Columbia prisoner reimbursement.—The Department’s 

prisoner reimbursement agreement with the District of Columbia 

must be made consistent with the requirements set forth in the 

National Capital Revitalization Act of 1997. The Department is 

urged to work with the District government to review and update 

the reimbursable agreement in order to achieve the necessary consistency. The Department should immediately notify the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations if the updated agreement 

will require additional resources to implement. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The bill provides $75,681,000 for the Office of Inspector General. 

The Inspector General is expected to continue with diligent oversight of the Department’s hiring, enforcement, prosecutorial and 

policy decision making in order to ensure integrity and public confidence. 

The Inspector General is commended for its continuing oversight 

of the FBI’s use of National Security Letters and PATRIOT Act 

Section 215 orders, and is expected to continue its assessment of 

FBI progress in implementing corrective actions in these areas. 

Within funds provided, the Inspector General is expected to continue its review of the FBI’s development and implementation of 

the Sentinel case management system, and to assess whether cost, 

schedule, performance and technical benchmarks are being met 

and whether the FBI has resolved concerns identified in its previous audits.

LEGAL ACTIVITIES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, GENERAL LEGAL ACTIVITIES

Tax Division .....................................................................................................101,016,000 

Criminal Division ............................................................................................164,061,000

Federal Observer Program.—The bill provides $3,390,000 for the 

costs of the Federal Observer Program, which places election monitors in jurisdictions where the Attorney General certifies or a Federal judge orders that they are necessary to ensure free and fair 

elections. 

Criminal Division.—Within available funds, $1,800,000 is directed to be allocated for an additional 10 attorneys, six analysts 

and associated support personnel in the Criminal Division to investigate and prosecute individuals who violate Federal laws on serious human rights crimes, including but not limited to criminal 

statutes on genocide, torture and war crimes. 

VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION TRUST FUND

The bill provides $7,833,000 for the Vaccine Injury Compensation 

Trust Fund. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, ANTITRUST DIVISION

The bill includes $157,788,000 in budget authority for the Antitrust Division, $7,197,000 above the budget request, which is provided to lift the hiring freeze imposed during fiscal year 2008. This 

appropriation is offset by $157,788,000 in pre-merger filing fee collections, resulting in a direct appropriation of $0. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS

The bill provides $1,836,336,000 for the salaries and expenses of 

the United States Attorneys in fiscal year 2009. 

Justice rooted in law, not in politics or favor, is a founding principle of our Nation. It is deeply troubling that partisan political 

considerations were a factor in the removal of several U.S. Attorneys fired in 2006. These actions severely damaged the Department’s credibility. It is incumbent upon the Attorney General and 

U.S. Attorneys to restore public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of their prosecutorial decisions. 

Ethical and professional standards.—U.S. Attorneys are vested 

with enormous power, and it is their sworn duty to enforce the 

laws of this country fairly and impartially and to uphold the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct. The Inspector

neys, and each to provide on a quarterly basis to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations a summary report on such 

incidents investigated and any significant findings issued as a result of the investigations. 

Child exploitation investigations and prosecutions.—The additional $5,000,000 above the budget request is made available to 

support the hiring of additional assistant U.S. Attorneys to increase investigations and prosecutions of offenses related to the 

sexual exploitation of children, as authorized by the Adam Walsh 

Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. Not less than $33,600,000 

shall be available for this purpose in fiscal year 2009. 

Prosecution of serious crimes in Indian Country.—Due to evidence of declining rates of Federal investigation and prosecution of 

serious crimes in Indian Country, the Attorney General is directed 

to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, 

within 60 days of enactment of this Act, on the strategic and resource allocation plans for the prosecution of serious crimes in Indian Country, including murder and rape, which are reported to 

Federal law enforcement. 

UNITED STATES TRUSTEE SYSTEM FUND

The bill provides $217,416,000 for the United States Trustee System Fund. The appropriation is offset by $160,000,000 in offsetting 

fee collections and $5,000,000 derived from interest on investments 

in U.S. securities, resulting in a direct appropriation of 

$52,416,000. 

Data-enabled ‘‘smart forms.’’—Developed jointly by the United 

States Trustee Program and the Administrative Office of the 

Courts, data-enabled ‘‘smart forms’’ for filing bankruptcy petitions 

and schedules are cost-effective tools which are encouraged to be 

used to improve efficiencies in the bankruptcy system. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT COMMISSION

The bill provides $1,823,000 for salaries and expenses of the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission in fiscal year 2009. 

FEES AND EXPENSES OF WITNESSES

The bill provides $168,300,000 for Fees and Expenses of Witnesses, which is equal to the budget request.

rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
269 

Adam Walsh enforcement.—The Marshals Service has not requested the resources needed to carry out the responsibilities assigned to it under the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety 

Act. To fulfill these responsibilities, the bill provides an increase of 

$5,187,000, which should be used to improve sex offender targeting 

through the National Sex Offender Targeting Center and related 

efforts. These resources are in addition to the $16,970,000 provided 

for Adam Walsh enforcement in P.L. 110–252. Together, these appropriations will provide the Marshals with a total of $22,157,000 

available for Adam Walsh enforcement activities in 2009. 

Judicial security.—The Marshals have reported that 2008 is on 

pace to record the highest annual number of judicial threats and 

inappropriate communications in history. To address this escalating workload, the Marshals are provided $4,000,000 to analyze 

and investigate threats against the Judiciary. 

In addition, the Marshals are urged to develop an aggressive 

schedule for the rollout of state-of-the-art detection capabilities at 

pilot high-threat courthouses around the country. These technologies will enhance courthouse security through the use of proven equipment, training and procedures to screen for and detect 

evolving threats. Special consideration should be given to those 

technologies that have been deployed and proven effective by other 

Federal agencies. 

Regional Fugitive Task Forces (RFTF).—The bill provides an increase of $10,000,000 to the RFTF program for the establishment 

of new, or expansion of existing, RFTFs. Distribution of these resources should be based on fugitive workload, giving emphasis to 

workload created by the Adam Walsh Act. 

CONSTRUCTION

The bill provides $4,000,000 for Marshals Construction, which is 

$1,696,000 above the budget request. These funds should be applied to the highest priority renovation projects identified by the 

Marshals. 

NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $83,789,000 for the National Security Division 

(NSD), which is equal to the budget request. 

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) backlog.— NSD is 

processing over 2,200 FISAs per year with only 100 attorneys, 

which has led to the creation of a backlog among non-emergency 

FISA requests. NSD is directed to submit a report on the trend in 

FISA backlog numbers over the past 5 fiscal years and NSD’s plan 

for addressing the backlog, beginning in fiscal year 2009. The report shall be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations no later than 60 days after the enactment of this 

Act. 

Intelligence oversight.—NSD shall give immediate notice to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations if there are any 

significant deviations from the current plan to perform 18 National 

Security Reviews of FBI investigative activity in fiscal year 2009. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING

Foreign investment reviews.—NSD is directed to submit a report 

on the Division’s foreign investment review workload and the Division’s ability to address this workload in the absence of additional 

requested resources. The report shall be submitted to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 60 days 

after the enactment of this Act. 

INTERAGENCY LAW ENFORCEMENT

INTERAGENCY CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMENT

The bill provides $515,000,000 for the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces, which is $16,581,000 below the 

budget request. 

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $7,065,100,000 for the salaries and expenses of 

the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which is equal to the 

budget request. 

Deployment aircraft.—The funding level provided does not include $20,040,000 that was requested for an emergency deployment 

aircraft lease. The costs of that lease were funded in P.L. 110–252. 

Pay modernization.—The bill does not include the requested 

funds for pay modernization because it remains unclear how the 

Bureau can implement an Intelligence Community-driven evaluation and compensation system within an organization with significant resources outside of the Intelligence Community. Once this 

and other issues are clarified, requests for this purpose may be resubmitted for consideration in the fiscal year 2010 budget. 

National Security Analysis Center (NSAC).—The budget request 

included an enhancement of $10,777,000 for NSAC. This funding 

has not been included in the bill due to two major concerns. First, 

FBI’s written materials relating to NSAC expansion reference 

plans to engage in controversial ‘‘predictive’’ modeling practices 

that could violate the privacy and civil liberties of law abiding U.S. 

citizens. Second, the FBI has not completed, or submitted, the 

planning and implementation documentation necessary to ensure 

that the NSAC will be responsibly developed and deployed in accordance with policy, schedule and budget requirements. 

If the FBI believes that enhanced NSAC funding is required, 

those funds may be requested via reprogramming or in a future appropriation request. However, the provision of those funds will be 

conditioned on the receipt and consideration of the following items: 

written clarification of NSAC’s intentions with respect to the use 

of ‘‘predictive’’ behavior modeling; a detailed spending plan and deployment schedule with dates for key milestones; and completed 

planning documentation, including an Exhibit 300, an updated System of Records Notice, a Privacy Impact Assessment and a concept 

of operations or other similar implementation guide.

lectual Property (CHIP) units. The funding level provided will 

allow the addition of two agents in each of the field offices in the 

same locality as those CHIP units which the Attorney General has 

determined most merit assistance in IPR investigations, with no 

less than 26 agents assigned for this purpose. 

The funding level also provides for the creation of an additional 

and distinct operational unit at FBI Headquarters with at least 5 

full-time, permanent agents dedicated to working with the Department of Justice’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section solely on complex, multi-district and international criminal 

IPR cases. The agents appropriated for this section shall solely investigate and support the criminal prosecution of violations of federal intellectual property laws, including Title 17 United States 

Code, sections 506 and 1204; Title 18 U.S. Code, sections 1831, 

1832, 2318, 2319, 2319A, 2319B, and 2320. 

Mortgage fraud investigations.—The FBI’s White Collar Crime 

program is straining to keep pace with a mortgage fraud caseload 

that has increased by more than 55 percent since 2003. To address 

this problem, the bill provides an increase of $10,000,000 for the 

FBI to dedicate additional agents to mortgage fraud investigations 

and add to existing mortgage fraud task forces and working groups. 

Child exploitation investigations.—The bill provides an increase of $19,000,000 for FBI child exploitation investigations, including 

an increase of no less than $9,000,000 for the Innocent Images program. 

Foreign human rights violators.—The FBI is directed to increase 

efforts to investigate and support the criminal prosecution of serious human rights crimes committed by foreign nationals who have 

found safe haven in the United States. The bill provides an increase of $1,500,000 to support these activities. 

Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division.—CJIS is 

provided $558,000,000, including $307,000,000 in appropriated 

funds and $251,000,000 in user fees. As in prior years, under no 

circumstances is the FBI to divert funding collected through CJIS 

user fees for any purpose other than CJIS, its refreshment plan or 

a subsequent modernization plan for the current facility. 

Retention and relocation.—The FBI is encouraged to continue 

working with the FBI Agents Association to ameliorate the impact 

on affected agents of the FBI’s Field Office Supervisory Term Limit 

policy. 

Foreign intelligence collection.—The FBI’s new tasking to collect 

non-case related foreign intelligence may dilute the FBI’s primary 

missions and cause coordination problems with other agencies 

whose missions have always included foreign intelligence activities. 

The FBI is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations within 60 days of the enactment of this Act on 

how the Bureau will engage in foreign intelligence collection without duplicating or conflicting with activities already underway at 

those other agencies with longstanding foreign intelligence missions. 

Long-term planning.—The FBI has experienced a very high rate 

of budget growth over the past seven years but seems unable to 

clearly articulate how much longer this kind of growth is going to 

be necessary. The ‘‘end-state capabilities’’ already submitted by the 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
272 

FBI are too vaguely defined to be used in strategic planning or 

budgetary decision making. Consequently, the FBI is directed to 

develop more discrete, quantifiable end-state goals and to submit 

those goals to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 

together with the fiscal year 2010 budget request. 

National Security Letters (NSLs).—There has been little evidence 

that the FBI has a plan in place to work with third party information providers to educate them about their responsibilities and to 

reduce the incidence of mistaken productions of content and other 

information under an NSL. The FBI is directed to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of 

the enactment of this Act on the steps it is taking to reduce and 

prevent third party NSL errors. 

Sentinel.—The FBI is expected to inform immediately the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations of any significant deviations from the planned budget or schedule for the Sentinel project. 

FBI Headquarters building.—The J. Edgar Hoover Building is inadequate for the current FBI Headquarters workforce, causing dispersal of FBI staff to over 16 annex offices. The building also lacks 

adequate setback and other security features, which puts FBI operations and personnel at unacceptable risk. The GAO is directed to 

review the Hoover Building, and associated off-site locations, and 

provide an analysis of the FBI’s ability to fulfill its mission and security requirements under present conditions. The GAO study 

should also assess the benefits of a consolidated headquarters facility. 

Work force distribution.—The FBI was extremely tardy in submitting a workforce study required by the statement accompanying 

P.L. 110–161. The FBI is directed to take all necessary steps to ensure that such tardiness does not recur with this year’s reporting 

requirements. 

Achieving the proper distribution of staff to field offices around 

the country remains a concern. As the FBI considers the distribution of agents received in this appropriation, the Bureau is encouraged to consider the allocation of agents to locations that would alleviate any unjustified disparities in the number of personnel 

among offices. 

CONSTRUCTION

The bill provides $153,491,000, which is $110,500,000 above the 

budget request. 

Program increases.—Within funds provided, $9,800,000 is for improvements at the FBI Academy and $41,000,000 is for the Terrorist Explosives Device Analytical Center. 

DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $1,939,084,000 for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which is $2,500,000 above the budget request. 

Drug Flow Attack Strategy (DFAS).— The bill fully supports the 

DFAS request, with the exception of funds to purchase a helicopter. 

Funding for that purpose was provided in P.L. 110–252. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
273 

Diversion control program.—Full funding of $244,450,000 is provided for the Diversion Control program, which is fully offset with 

fee collections. This funding level includes an increase of $498,000 

for the Diversion Control portion of DFAS. 

Mobile Enforcement Teams (MET).—The bill provides an increase of $10,000,000 to allow DEA to begin rebuilding the MET program, 

both through the establishment of additional teams and by increasing the funds available for existing teams. The activities of MET 

should continue to include a focus on methamphetamine enforcement. 

Drugs on public lands.—DEA is urged to work with Federal land 

management agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service, and State and local law enforcement partners 

to aggressively and permanently eradicate marijuana and other 

drug operations on public lands. DEA is also strongly urged to increase the resources provided to investigate, apprehend and prosecute drug trafficking on public lands and to target those resources 

to areas with the highest concentration of trafficking activity. 

BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $1,054,215,000 for the Bureau of Alcohol, To- bacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which is $26,401,000 above 

the budget request. 

Program increases.—The bill provides a total increase over the budget request of $26,401,000, of which no less than $200,000 is for 

the hiring of additional regulation writers to address ATF’s pending regulatory backlog and no less than $5,000,000 is for Project 

Gunrunner and other firearms trafficking efforts targeting Mexico 

and the border region. Project Gunrunner has been an effective tool 

in combating anti-smuggling efforts along the Southwest border, 

and ATF is encouraged to make sure that sufficient resources are 

allocated to this important program. 

Ballistics imaging and identification.—High-tech ballistics imaging and identification capabilities are very valuable and have been 

improved over time by significant investments on the part of State 

and local law enforcement partners in building the current data 

base. ATF is encouraged to ensure that ballistic imaging technology 

is routinely refreshed, upgraded and deployed to those State and 

local partners. Further, ATF is expected to ensure that upgrades 

and replacements for ballistic imaging technology take into account 

the resources already invested by those State and local partners. 

Conversion of records.—ATF is urged 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. 

Disposition of historical documents.—ATF is currently in possession of a letter signed by Alexander Hamilton on December 18, 

1790. This letter reflects Hamilton’s efforts to pay down Revolutionary War debt through the imposition of duties on distilled liquor. ATF is directed to provide immediately this letter to the National Archives and Records Administration for historical preservation and study. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING

Canine transport conditions.—ATF headquarters’ recent decision 

to shrink the size of the vehicles used by the 34 ATF explosive detection canine teams as a cost-savings mechanism is both disappointing and shortsighted. DOJ spends, at a minimum, $20,000 

to train these assets, which are housed in agent vehicles while on 

deployment and while working to ensure public safety. The canines 

require reasonable comfortable space to not only work, but also to 

rest if they are to be effective when called upon to perform. ATF 

shall only purchase vehicles for explosive detection canine teams 

that provide no less usable space for the dog than the vehicles they 

are meant to replace. ATF shall submit a report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations 30 days after enactment of 

this Act certifying that this directive is being met. 

FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $5,595,754,000 for the salaries and expenses of 

the Federal Prison System for fiscal year 2009, which is an increase of $160,000,000 above the budget request. 

Several years of insufficient budget requests have led to a critical 

juncture for the Federal Prison System—in terms of safety and security for inmates and staff. The additional funds are provided to 

support adequate correctional staffing levels and to address shortfalls in inmate programs. Within 30 days of enactment of this Act, 

the Department is directed to submit a spend plan to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations, with a proposed distribution of funds across the four Bureau of Prisons (BOP) decision 

units and which specifically details the allocation of the 

$160,000,000 funding increase. Further, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is directed to review BOP’s methods for determining resource requirements, including pricing of fixed costs such 

as utilities and medical care, as well as estimates of the inmate 

population. The GAO should make recommendations to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations on steps BOP should 

take to develop more accurate projections of funding requirements 

no later than August 31, 2009. 

Substance abuse treatment.—Forty percent of inmates entering 

Federal prisons have a drug use disorder and require residential 

drug abuse treatment. Despite the Violent Crime Control and Law 

Enforcement Act of 1994, which requires such treatment to be provided, an estimated 8,000 eligible inmates were put on the waiting 

list during fiscal year 2008. The fiscal year 2009 budget request did 

not address this shortfall. Within amounts appropriated, 

$79,200,000 is made available to provide residential and transitional drug abuse treatment for all eligible inmates. 

Inmate education, training and prisoner re-entry.—Within 

amounts appropriated, $138,000,000 is provided to reduce the backlog of inmates waiting to participate in education, vocational training and prisoner re-entry programs, which are cost effective tools 

in reducing the societal impacts of criminal recidivism. 

Reimbursement for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

(ICE) detainees.—The Attorney General is directed to work with 

the Department of Homeland Security to transfer expeditiously the 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
275 

estimated 700 ICE detainees who are currently housed in the Federal Prison System, or to obtain prompt and fair reimbursement 

from ICE for the costs of incarcerating them. The Attorney General 

is further directed to report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations not later than 60 days after enactment of this 

Act on actions taken to comply with this direction. In addition, the 

Attorney General is directed, on a quarterly basis, to report to the 

Committees on the costs incurred by BOP and the reimbursements 

received for housing ICE detainees and inmates of other Federal 

and State agencies. 

Staffing levels and staff-inmate ratios.—On a monthly basis, the 

BOP is directed to notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of current correctional officer staffing levels, by facility, and of the staff-inmate ratios for all Federal prisons. 

National Institute of Corrections (NIC).—The budget proposal to 

eliminate funding for the NIC is rejected. 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. The Department is encouraged to submit a reprogramming request if sufficient funds are not available within BOP for this effort. To address deficiencies in corrections reporting identified by 

the U.S. Census Bureau, the NIC is encouraged to work with State 

corrections agencies to develop better procedures and systems for 

collecting and maintaining corrections records. 

Inmate medical care.—The BOP is currently experiencing a 

shortage of dentists, which is expected to worsen due to retirements and retention difficulties. BOP is directed to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by February 19, 

2009, on its current and projected dentist staffing needs and its 

plans to address this situation. 

Prevention of sexual misconduct.—The BOP is to be commended 

for its work to address and prevent sexual misconduct. With funds 

provided in previous years, the NIC has made meaningful 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 employees at every level will be more 

aware of, and better prepared to deal with, these cases. The BOP 

is directed to continue these efforts and to report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations by March 31, 2009, on 

progress made in this area. 

Contracting out.—The bill includes a general provision to prohibit the use of funds to conduct, process or approve a public-private competition under OMB Circular A–76 for personnel who are 

employees of the BOP or of Federal Prison Industries, Incorporated. This provision does not prevent BOP from meeting additional bed space needs using State, local, and private existing and 

new prison capacity. 

Activations and expansions.—The BOP is expected to adhere to 

the activation schedule included in its budget submission, and shall 

notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of any 

deviations to that schedule.

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

The bill provides $575,807,000 for the construction, modernization, maintenance, and repair of prison and detention facilities 

housing Federal inmates. Within this amount, $440,000,000 is provided for new prison construction and $110,627,000 is provided to 

address the significant backlog of major health and safety repairs 

in Federal prison facilities. The BOP is directed to provide quarterly reports to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its backlog of maintenance and repairs, and its schedule 

for addressing them. 

Female inmate facilities.—Additional capacity for female inmates 

at new facilities will significantly reduce crowding in this population, thereby enhancing safety and security. 

Within funds provided, the BOP is expected to begin site selection and development, environmental assessment and feasibility, 

planning, and initial design work to build an FCI in Leavenworth, 

Kansas. 

Reprogramming limitation.—The bill includes language directing 

that BOP may not transfer ‘‘Buildings and Facilities’’ appropriations to cover ‘‘Salaries and Expenses’’ costs unless the President 

certifies that such a transfer is necessary to the national security 

interest of the United States, and also subjects any such transfer 

to section 505 of this Act. 

LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES, FEDERAL PRISON

INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

The bill provides a limitation on administrative expenses of $2,328,000 for Federal Prison Industries, Incorporated. Those who 

are repaying their debts to society should be provided opportunities 

to prepare themselves to re-enter society as gainfully employed citizens. The Department is expected to continue to offer meaningful 

work opportunities to inmates while respecting the interests of 

small and medium-sized businesses.

contract and other cost information, by program, for Management 

and Administration and Office of Audit, Assessment, and Management (OAAM) activities in its fiscal year 2010 budget justifications. 

Fairness and objectivity in the award of competitive grants.—Allegations have been leveled that the Department steered fiscal year 

2007 juvenile justice grants to favored recipients instead of awarding them to deserving grantees who ranked more highly in a peerreviewed process. The Department is directed to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 30 days of 

enactment of this Act, on the findings of its internal review of the 

2007 grants process and awards, including corrective actions taken. 

The Inspector General is also directed to conduct an independent 

review of this 2007 grant award process and report expeditiously 

to the same Committees.

tute of Justice (NIJ) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) research activities, including their funding sources. The Department 

is also expected to produce detailed justification information on the 

research priorities assumed in the fiscal year 2010 budget request. 

National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).—Within funds 

provided for BJS, $26,000,000 is made available for the NCVS, 

which since the 1970s has been a critical resource to improve the 

understanding of the costs and context of crime victimization in the 

United States. To improve the usefulness of the NCVS, BJS is 

urged to implement the recommendations of the National Research 

Council’s recent report, Surveying Victims: Options for Conducting 

the National Crime Victimization Survey. NIJ is also encouraged to 

implement the Council’s recommendation to develop, promote and 

coordinate sub-national victimization surveys. 

NIJ sole-source contracts.—The Attorney General is directed to 

submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, 

within 90 days of enactment of this Act, a plan that establishes 

competitive processes, criteria, and oversight measures to ensure 

that NIJ awards for studies, seminars and other activities are conducted in a fair, objective and ethical manner. 

Regional Information Sharing System (RISS).—Within amounts 

provided for RISS, funds shall be available to continue funding existing local-to-local law enforcement data and information sharing 

programs focused on solving routine crimes, especially in rural 

areas, by sharing law enforcement information not categorized as 

criminal intelligence by the owning law enforcement agency. 

DNA and forensics.—Within funds appropriated for NIJ, $3,000,000 is for DNA and forensics research, of which $500,000 

shall be transferred to the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology Office of Law Enforcement Standards to support the 

development of standards for quality and proficiency in Federal, 

State and local crime laboratories. 

Forensic science education.—Based on findings of a Department 

panel on forensic science education, the NIJ established the Forensic Science Education Program Accreditation Commission. However, no Federal link has yet been established between the Department and the Commission to implement the recommended universal standards. Within 60 days of enactment of this Act, the NIJ 

is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the actions taken to implement recommended 

standards. 

Victim notification.—The bill provides $12,000,000 for the Bureau of Justice Assistance to continue the State Automated Victim 

Notification grant program to allow States to join the National Victim Notification Network. No funding may be utilized from within 

the Victims Assistance Program for this initiative and funds provided under this heading shall require a 50 percent match from 

State, local, and private sources. 

Pregnant and parenting offenders.—The NIJ is encouraged to examine the potential of family-based treatment as an effective sentencing alternative for non-violent drug offenders who are pregnant 

or the parents of minor children. 

Salaries and expenses.—The bill establishes a new salaries and 

expenses account to fund the management and administrative costs

Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program 

(JAG).—The bill provides $546,000,000 for JAG formula grants. 

Funding under this program is authorized for law enforcement programs; prosecution and court programs; prevention and education 

programs; corrections and community corrections programs; drug 

treatment and enforcement programs; planning, evaluation, and 

technology improvement programs; and crime victim and witness 

programs, other than compensation. Funding is not available for 

vehicles, vessels, or aircraft; luxury items; real estate; or construction projects. Of the amount provided, $2,000,000 is for intelligence 

training for State and local law enforcement entities; and 

$5,000,000 is for the National Institute of Justice to help local 

units of government to identify, select, develop, modernize and purchase new technologies for use by law enforcement. 

Within the funds provided, $7,000,000 shall be available to reimburse State and local law enforcement for security and related 

costs, including overtime, associated with the security requirements required to protect the President-elect during the Presidential transition period. These funds shall be allocated by the Department of Justice to State and local law enforcement entities that 

can document increased costs over and above normal law enforcement operations, which are directly attributable to security for the 

President-elect. Within the funds provided, $20,000,000 is also included to reimburse State and local governments for security and 

other expenses related to the 2009 Presidential Inauguration. Not 

later than 30 days after enactment of this Act, the Department is 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
280 

directed to provide a report and spend plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, which details the criteria and 

methodology that will be used to award these grants. 

Byrne competitive grants.—$30,000,000 is made available for 

Byrne competitive, peer-reviewed grants to programs of national 

significance to prevent crime, improve the administration of justice 

or assist victims of crime. Within 90 days of enactment of this Act, 

the OJP is directed to provide a report and spend plan to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, which details the 

criteria and methodology that will be used to award these 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. 

Byrne discretionary grants.—The bill provides $178,500,000 for 

Byrne discretionary grants to prevent crime, to improve the criminal justice system, to provide victims’ services and for other similar 

activities. The accompanying table details funding for Congressionally-designated activities, which are incorporated by reference in

Justice for All Act—capital litigation and wrongful prosecution 

review.—The bill provides $5,500,000 for capital litigation and 

wrongful prosecution review grants. Of this amount, $2,500,000 is 

for Capital Litigation Improvement Grants, authorized by section 

426 of Public Law 108–405. In addition, $3,000,000 is made available for a new program of competitive grants to public and nonprofit entities that work to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted. Within 90 days of enactment of this Act, the OJP 

is directed to provide a report and spending plan to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations, which details the criteria 

and methodology that will be used to award these new grants. 

Tribal government funding.—The bill rejects the proposal to discontinue specific set-asides for tribal law enforcement, correctional 

facility construction, courts and juvenile justice programs. There is 

no evidence that the Department consulted with tribal governments on this proposal. These existing OJP and COPS programs 

are critical to implementing the public safety and justice priorities 

of tribal leaders throughout Indian Country. Further, it is unacceptable that the Department failed, in 2008, to complete a review 

and report to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on 

the state of existing tribal detention facilities and the need for new 

capacity. By May 15, 2009, the Department is directed to complete 

this review and to report to the Appropriations Committees on its 

findings, including recommendations and actions that have or will 

be taken to address these needs. 

Hal Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program.—The bill includes $7,000,000 for the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program to 

assist States in building or enhancing prescription drug monitoring 

systems, facilitating the exchange of information among States, 

and providing technical assistance and training on establishing and 

operating effective prescription drug monitoring programs. The 

OJP is expected to work with the DEA to implement this program. 

Prison rape prevention and prosecution.—The bill includes 

$12,500,000 for prison rape prevention and prosecution activities. 

The Attorney General is required to promulgate national standards 

for the prevention of and response to sexual abuse in all confinement settings based on the recommendations of the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission. These funds are provided for 

purposes authorized under Public Law 108-79, such as the work of 

the Commission; mandated statistics, data and research; prevention and prosecution assistance; and grants to protect inmates and 

safeguard communities. The Department shall report to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations not later than 90 days

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

AGENCY SUMMARY

Reporting of cost, schedule and content for NASA research and 

development projects.—To better understand the underlying issues 

common to NASA’s performance on major projects and to develop 

a process for identifying corrective action, the Fiscal Year 2008 

Consolidated Appropriations Act mandated the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report on the status of large-scale 

NASA programs, projects and activities. This report is to be delivered to the Congress semiannually, the first of which shall be delivered in advance of the annual budget submission of the President 

for fiscal year 2010. To that end, NASA is directed to cooperate 

fully and to provide timely program analysis, evaluation data and 

relevant information to the GAO so that it can conduct this review 

and meet the annual Congressional mandate. Such information includes, but is not limited to, copies of preliminary cost estimates, 

access to relevant online agency applications, databases, and web 

portals, and access to information from contractor and agency personnel. 

Breach reporting.—Pursuant to section 103 of Public Law 109– 

155, the NASA Authorization Act of 2005, NASA is required to deliver several reports to the appropriate authorizing committees 

when project costs grow in excess of certain thresholds. NASA shall 

submit concurrently to the House and Senate Committee on Appropriations the reports required by section 103 of Public Law 109– 

155. 

Space Shuttle transition and retirement costs.—To ensure the 

Congress has a complete accounting of the full costs associated 

with Space Shuttle transition and retirement, NASA is directed to 

develop an estimate to include: 

(1) not only those funds necessary within the Space Shuttle program, but all funds needed outside the Space Shuttle program that 

are necessary to support Space Shuttle transition and retirement 

activities; 

(2) funds necessary under Cross Agency Support needed to support transition and retirement, including environmental compliance 

and remediation, of the Space Shuttle program; 

(3) the gross and net proceeds from exchange sales of excess 

Space Shuttle equipment; 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
345 

(4) the costs to maintain required facilities at Kennedy Space 

Center during the gap in human spaceflight; 

(5) the costs associated with preservation of historic properties; 

and 

(6) the costs of workforce transition. 

Accordingly, the bill includes a provision that requires NASA to 

provide by February 2, 2009, to the Committees on Appropriations 

of the Senate and the House of Representatives a report detailing 

the total and annual costs by fiscal year of Space Shuttle transition 

and retirement costs. Such data shall be presented for fiscal years 

2006 through 2015 by mission directorate, program, activity and 

object class. 

Public availability of scientific information.—NASA is directed to 

implement all recommendations by the Inspector General related to 

its review of public availability of scientific information and to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not 

later than March 2, 2009. 

Contract oversight and management.—NASA is directed to incorporate independent cost verification as part of the process by which 

contracts are selected and monitored. NASA is to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of 

enactment of the Act of its plans and progress in implementing this 

directive. 

NASA is further directed to notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in writing 30 days prior to allocating 

funds, or modifying or extending existing contracts that are in excess of 15 percent of the original contract value. 

Within 45 days of enactment of this Act, NASA shall provide a 

report delineating the original baseline amount and schedule for 

each program with a life cycle cost of $100,000,000 or more. The 

report shall also include the current baseline amount, confidence 

level and financial and delivery schedule for each such program. 

Reprogramming procedures.—The levels against which 

reprogrammings are to be reported require further clarification. Accordingly, a summary table by mission directorate delineates each 

program, project and activity against which the reprogramming 

thresholds are to be measured. This display in no way curtails 

NASA’s current flexibility in managing its diverse portfolio of research and development and operational programs. Rather, it will 

require NASA to inform the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of any deviations, subject to the thresholds specified in 

section 505 of this Act, from the levels explicit in the agency’s 

budget justification, as adjusted for congressional action, as shown 

in the accompanying summary table. In any reprogramming request and operating plan, NASA shall include the out-year budget 

and schedule impacts of the proposed reallocation of funds. 

For purposes of the reprogramming guidelines, a new program 

shall be defined as any program, project or activity for which funds 

were not requested or provided in the current fiscal year, except 

those resulting from a competitive selection made pursuant to ongoing programs authorized by Congress. However, implementation 

of this limitation shall preclude initiation or resumption of activities pursuant to competitive solicitations for ongoing NASA programs if funding for that specific program, project or activity had 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
346 

been previously deferred due to lack of funds and/or were 

unrequested in the current fiscal year. 

Financial data disclosure.—NASA shall include the out-year 

budget and schedule impacts in any reprogramming request, operating plan, and budget submission. In addition, NASA shall include 

a separate accounting of all program reserves and carryover funds 

by program, project and activity. 

The funding provided for NASA is delineated more fully in the 

table below and in the account summaries.

The bill provides $4,503,019,000 for science, an increase of 

$61,500,000 over the budget request. The amount provided reflects 

an unallocated adjustment of $70,898,000 and reflects unobligated 

balances carried into fiscal year 2009 from fiscal year 2008. NASA 

shall within 30 days of enactment of this Act provide to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations its proposed distribution 

of the unallocated adjustment. In doing so, NASA shall identify offsets that do not result in delays or cancellations of missions in development or the cancellation of any selected projects, and shall not 

identify as offsets any increases provided above the request expressly provided by Congress. 

Earth science.—NASA’s Earth science portfolio shall have a continuous mixture of small-, medium-, and observatory class Earth 

science missions that guarantee regular and recurring flight opportunities for the Earth science communities. 

Earth decadal survey missions.—A total of $150,000,000 is provided for Earth decadal survey missions. Funds are provided to 

support on-going activities of the ICESat II and SMAP missions. In 

addition, funds are provided to accelerate and achieve a level of 

system development more consistent with the National Academy of 

Sciences’ recommendations. The bill provides funds to accelerate 

the ICESat II mission so that it will be ready to launch in 2013 

concurrently with the SMAP mission, consistent with the National 

Academy of Sciences’ recommendations. 

Landsat data continuity mission (LDCM).—Funding of 

$10,000,000 is provided to initiate development of a thermal infrared sensor (TSIS). NASA is directed to identify the earliest and 

least expensive development approach and flight opportunity for 

TSIS. NASA shall report its findings to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations not later than March 2, 2009. 

NASA is further directed to develop, in cooperation with the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a plan for a follow-on mission to LDCM consistent with the recommendations of the National Science and 

Technology Council’s report, A Plan for A U.S. National Land Imaging Program. This plan is due to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than August 31, 2009. 

Earth science applications program.—The bill provides 

$10,000,000 over the budget request for Earth science applications 

under the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences 

(ROSES) program, which shall be available to support new competitively-selected projects under subsection A.28, Earth Science 

For Decision Making: Gulf of Mexico Region, to be selected during 

fiscal year 2009. 

Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR).—The bill provides 

$9,000,000 for NASA to refurbish and ensure flight and operational 

readiness of DSCOVR earth science instruments. 

Servicing Opportunities for Science Missions.—Recognizing the 

historic successes NASA has achieved through the servicing of the 

Hubble Space Telescope, the National Research Council’s recent report Launching Science: Science Opportunities Provided by NASA’s 

Constellation System recommends that ‘‘NASA should study the 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
353 

benefits of designing spacecraft intended to operate around Earth 

or the Moon, or at the libration points for human and robotic servicing.’’ This recommendation parallels the guidance provided by 

section 502 of the NASA Authorization Act of 2008 (P.L. 110–422), 

which recommends that provision be made for servicing of future 

scientific spacecraft to the extent practicable. Therefore, it will be 

critical that the Constellation program demonstrate unique capabilities to maintain synergies between free-flying scientific spacecraft and human spaceflight endeavors. Accordingly, the bill provides $20,000,000 for NASA to undertake an assessment of the feasibility of using the Constellation architecture to service existing 

and future observatory-class scientific spacecraft, fully utilizing the 

unique, core expertise and competencies for in-space servicing developed by the Goddard Space Flight Center and its private sector 

partners for the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA shall provide to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a plan for expenditure of this funding no later than 30 days after enactment of 

this Act. 

Lunar landers.—The bill provides, as requested, $10,000,000 for 

the selected lunar lander. 

Mars exploration.—NASA shall continue to engage the Mars 

community to define missions for the next decade that will lead to 

a Mars sample return in the 2020s. NASA is encouraged to define 

a budget profile for the Mars exploration program to support a 

lander mission and follow-on missions through 2020; consider augmenting technology to be demonstrated as part of the 2013 Scout; 

and support the small, competitively-selected missions such as 

Mars Scouts. 

Mars science laboratory (MSL).—The bill provides the budget re- quest of $223,331,000 for MSL. Over the past several months, 

NASA, with the concurrence of the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations, has taken reprogramming actions to address 

continuing project cost increases and to maintain a launch schedule 

in 2009; however, slower-than-expected progress, combined with 

late completion and deliveries of hardware, has contributed to deterioration in schedule performance. As a result, NASA has informed 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on December 

4, 2008, of its decision to delay a 2009 launch. The relative orbital 

location of Mars and Earth dictates that the next launch opportunity is 2011. However, in order to support a 2011 launch, NASA 

will need to identify additional resources in the range of 

$400,000,000. NASA is directed to provide to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations not later than February 2, 2009, the 

impact on the project’s baseline development cost estimate consistent with reporting requirements of section 103 of the NASA Authorization Act of 2005 (Public Law 109–155); and proposed resource allocations necessary to meet a 2011 launch. A reallocation 

of this magnitude can be expected to have significant impacts on 

other projects, and accordingly, NASA is directed to consult with 

the space science community to ensure its views are taken into consideration in any decision regarding future funding for MSL. 

Outer planets.—NASA plans to conduct an outer planet flagship 

mission in cooperation with the European community, which a 

launch as soon as practicable. A more detailed plan and projected 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING

includes $101,089,000 for the outer planets program, as requested. 

Hubble Space Telescope.—The bill provides the full requirement 

of $207,697,000 for the operations and upcoming servicing of the 

Hubble Space Telescope. 

Astrophysics exoplanet exploration, other missions and data analysis.—An increase of $20,000,000 is provided to continue NASA’s 

efforts in assessing lower cost versions of the Space Interferometry 

Mission (SIM) and in completing the detailed formulation phase of 

a ‘‘SIM-Lite’’ mission that would meet the requirements laid out in 

the most recent decadal surveys for an astrophysics mission. 

Radiation Belt Storm Probes.—The bill provides the full budget 

request of $154,442,000 to continue this mission for launch in 2012. 

Solar Probe.—The bill includes $18,000,000 for the Solar Probe 

mission, the highest priority recommendation of the National Academies’ heliophysics decadal report. NASA is directed to work to 

achieve a launch no later than 2015. 

Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission.—The bill includes the budget 

request of $94,582,000 for the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission. 

NASA is directed to undertake no action to de-scope or reduce the 

project’s scientific instruments or capacity. 

Wallops Flight Facility (WFF).—The WFF is an important national asset that can be better utilized by focusing on emerging 

technologies that meet national needs and NASA priorities. The 

bill therefore provides programmatic increases of: $5,000,000 for 

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 consistent with the goals of 

venture class missions recommended by the National Academies’ 

Earth science decadal report; and $14,000,000 to improve launch 

pad infrastructure. NASA is directed to prepare a five-year action 

plan, including a proposed funding forecast, that identifies specific 

program and advanced technology development work that will utilize and expand the Wallops Flight Facility’s role in the development of small satellites and unmanned aerial systems to meet critical earth science and other space system needs. This plan is due 

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by June 1, 

2009. 

Ocean vector wind study.—NASA, working with NOAA and within the funds provided, shall study satellite and non-satellite alternatives for generating SeaWinds-like ocean wind data. 

AERONAUTICS

The bill provides $500,000,000 for aeronautics research. The research and development activities undertaken with the augmentation shall not be based on the determination that the investment 

in an activity would result in a useable or useful product based 

only on one year’s funding. Accordingly, the Aeronautics Research 

Mission Directorate is directed to provide to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate in NASA’s initial fiscal year 

2009 operating plan a proposed expenditure analysis of the congressional augmentation to ensure that this investment of funds is 

devoted to long-term, multi-year research and development activiVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00348 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

The bill provides $3,505,469,000 for exploration for fiscal year 2009, $5,000,000 over the budget request. The amount provided includes an unallocated adjustment of $18,000,000. NASA shall within 30 days of enactment of this Act provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations its proposed distribution of the 

unallocated adjustment. In doing so, NASA shall identify offsets 

that do not result in delays or cancellations of missions in development or the cancellation of any selected projects, and shall not 

identify as offsets any increases provided above the request expressly provided by Congress. 

Constellation systems.—The bill includes the budget request of $1,018,515,000 for Ares and $1,101,436,000 for Orion. 

Constellation systems program, heavy lift cargo vehicle.—The bill 

includes $23,000,000 above the request for Ares V design requirements definition and research and development for a systems requirement review. 

International Space Station (ISS) research.—The bill provides $44,783,000 for ISS research and will support the study of life and 

physical sciences phenomenon in microgravity, as well as the partial gravity environments of the Moon and Mars. 

Commercial orbital transportation services (COTS).—For fiscal 

year 2009, the bill provides $153,045,000 for COTS program elements A through C, a reduction of $20,000,000 from the request. 

The reduction is taken without prejudice to the program, and is 

based on NASA’s estimated expenditures for fiscal year 2009 while 

accounting for program management costs and anticipated payments to industry partners who successfully meet milestones in 

current Space Act agreements. 

Lunar precursor robotic program (LPRP) management.—The bill 

includes the budget request of $56,334,000 for the LPRP.

ceding the anticipated retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2010. 

Should funds be necessary to preserve flight options in fiscal year 

2009, NASA may reprogram funds pursuant to the authorities contained in section 505 of this Act. 

Launch services.—The bill provides $10,000,000 less than requested for launch services. Since the agency has yet to make a 

final determination of the allocation or phasing of the use of the 

requested increase, funding to mitigate the out-year costs of launch 

infrastructure and repairs has been deferred. 

EDUCATION

The bill provides $169,200,000 for education for fiscal year 2009. 

NASA Space Grants.—For this program, the bill provides a total 

of $40,000,000, which will fund 40 states or jurisdictions at

Institutional investments.—A total of $293,665,000 is provided for institutional investments, of which $218,901,000 shall be available 

for institutional construction of facilities (ICF). Within the funds 

provided for ICF, not more than $13,700,000 shall be available for 

facility planning and design. In addition, the amounts requested for 

minor revitalization of facilities at various locations (less than 

$500,000) are reduced by $4,850,000 to fully resource the repair 

and construction of the consolidated information technology center 

Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC). This transfer reflects 

NASA’s planned execution of repair and construction at DFRC in 

fiscal year 2009. Lastly, the amount requested for programmatic 

discrete projects is reduced by $5,000,000. NASA shall in its initial 

operating plan delineate by project its proposed allocation of the resources provided herein. 

Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant (MSAAP) and Stennis Space 

Center (SSC).—NASA shall provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by March 2, 2009, a report that outlines 

estimated costs related to the transfer of MSAAP to NASA’s SSC. 

Leasing authority and collections.—In 2003, NASA was authorized by Congress to demonstrate leasing authority and collections 

at two Centers. In 2007 and again in 2008, that authority was 

amended by Congress such that NASA may enter into leasing arrangements at all Centers after December 2008. After deducting 

the costs of administering the leases, Centers are then permitted 

to retain 65 percent of net receipt revenue, and the balance is made 

available agency-wide for NASA. To date, NASA estimates that in 

fiscal years 2008 and 2009, gross receipts and collections will total 

in excess of $24,300,000, and are anticipated to grow in the future. 

These funds are in addition to annual appropriations. 

In March 2007, the Government Accountability Office noted that 

NASA should develop an agency-wide policy to ensure accountability, protect the Government, and provide transparency regarding NASA’s leasing authority and collections activities. Later, in 

December 2007, a report by the Surveys and Investigations staff of 

the House Appropriations Committee found NASA’s reports to the 

Congress on its implementation of its leasing activities to be inaccurate, incomplete and uninformative. To date, evidence suggests 

that such deficiencies continue as information provided to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on existing leasing collections and expenditures remains incomplete and, provides 

no transparency in delineating the costs of administering such 

leases, and no justification supporting the activities undertaken 

with the expenditure of the Centers’ gross or net receipts. 

NASA must improve its management of the program, its oversight of its centers’ use of leasing receipts and its accounting of the 

relationship between annual leasing receipts and appropriated 

funds. To ensure annual oversight and review, to improve overall 

program management and to protect the Government, the bill contains a provision that provides that the expenditure of gross receipts and collections in fiscal year 2009 shall be subject to a limitation of $9,000,000, and requires NASA to submit a separate accounting of leasing collections and proposed expenditures in its annual budget justification submission to the Congress. Collections in 

excess of $9,000,000 (to also include any unexpended balances of 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
363 

prior year collections) shall remain available for expenditure in 

subsequent fiscal years. NASA is directed, not later than 90 days 

after enactment of this Act, to report to the House and Senate 

Committees on actions taken by headquarters management to better account for leasing receipts and collections and expenditures of 

gross receipts at each Center and to identify any activities previously budgeted from appropriated funds that are now planned to 

be financed with leasing receipts. NASA is further directed to submit a separate operating plan by Center on the proposed use of all 

receipts and collections in fiscal year 2009 prior to the expenditure 

of such funds, and any deviation from such approved plan shall be 

subject to section 505 of this Act. Further, NASA shall submit with 

its annual budget submission a separate accounting by Center of 

gross receipts and collections and proposed use of all funds collected under its leasing authority. Such material shall include a detailed presentation of all proposed expenditures, to include but not 

limited to full-time equivalent (FTE) staff years and object class 

data, and justification for such proposed expenditures by project or 

activity. 

Conference expenses.—Section 1121(a) of the NASA Authorization 

Act of 2008 (P.L. 110–422) provides NASA with the discretion to 

define ‘‘conference’’ for the purposes of that subparagraph. In view 

of the requirement of the National Aeronautics and Space Act (P.L. 

85–568), as amended, that NASA provide for the widest practicable 

and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof, in no event shall the funds appropriated by this Act be subject to the limitation of section 1121(a) 

of P.L. 110–422 with respect to NASA expenditures for scientific 

and technical conferences or education-related conferences in which 

NASA science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) 

content is disseminated. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The bill provides $33,600,000 for the Office of the Inspector General. In fiscal year 2009, NASA and its IG shall follow the direction 

included in Public Law 110–161 as it relates to the reporting of the 

costs of conferences. NASA and the IG are to provide a report annually on these activities to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations not later than October 1 of each year. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

The bill contains a provision that provides for the no-year availability of funds made available for construction of facilities or environmental compliance and restoration activities within the Science, 

Aeronautics, Exploration, Space Operations and Cross Agency Support appropriations, except that such provision shall not apply to 

amounts appropriated for institutional minor revitalization and 

minor construction of facilities, and institutional planning and design. 

The bill contains language regarding the availability of funds for 

announced prizes.

Committees on Appropriations on the fiscal year 2009 budget and 

activities of the regional offices and the State Advisory Committees, as well as on the procedures employed to ensure transparency 

and the participation of all Commissioners in the preparation and 

review of all reports and briefing papers. 

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $343,925,000 for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which is $2,000,000 above the budget 

request. 

Backlog reduction.—EEOC’s rising charge backlog is a significant 

concern, but it does not appear that this issue is being addressed 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
367 

by EEOC in a systematic or strategic manner. Consequently, the 

EEOC is provided an increase of $6,545,000 to begin addressing 

this problem. EEOC is directed to report to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of the enactment of 

this Act with a comprehensive plan for backlog reduction, including 

future resource requirements and hiring needs. The hiring needs 

section of the plan should also address EEOC’s large number of unfilled existing frontline staff positions. The report should specify 

what steps EEOC is taking to fill those positions, the reasons for 

the delay in filling them and how these delays can be prevented in 

the future. 

Accuracy of workload projections.—The assumptions underlying 

EEOC’s future workload projections appear overly optimistic or 

otherwise inaccurate. The EEOC is urged to further refine its projections by calibrating them with actual data, such as those available through the annual midyear review. 

Customer service transition.—The fiscal year 2009 funding level 

includes $3,635,000 to complete the transition of EEOC’s customer 

service operation to an in-house function. To ensure that callers 

being handled by the new in-house operation are receiving service 

that is equal to or better than the service that was received 

through the prior system, EEOC is directed to report to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations on comparative customer satisfaction data no later than 60 days after the enactment 

of this Act. The report should also include a cost-benefit analysis 

of hiring higher credentialed employees for the call intake function. 

State, local and tribal assistance.—EEOC is directed to submit 

the findings of its ongoing review of State, local and tribal per 

charge costs to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations when that data becomes available. 

Workforce planning.—A recent GAO study found that EEOC did 

not strategically or systematically approach mission needs, customer expectations, workload or current workforce needs in its 

draft Strategic Workforce Plan. The study concluded that EEOC 

could better address its growing caseload if it made better use of 

strategic planning. EEOC is directed to implement the recommendations of GAO and to report back to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of the enactment of 

this Act on how those recommendations were implemented. 

INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $75,100,000 for the International Trade Commission (ITC), which is $1,500,000 above the budget request. The 

ITC’s increasing section 337 intellectual property investigations 

workload is outstripping available resources, and the additional 

funding will allow ITC to hire a sixth administrative law judge, 

lease additional courtroom space, and cover necessary renovation 

costs.

LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

PAYMENT TO THE LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

The bill provides $390,000,000 for the Legal Services Corporation 

(LSC). Within the total provided, $365,800,000 is for grants to 

basic field programs and required independent audits; $4,200,000 

is for the Office of Inspector General; $16,000,000 is for management and administration; $3,000,000 is for client self-help and information technology; and $1,000,000 is for loan repayment assistance. Current LSC locality pay represents reasonable compensation 

for LSC officers and employees, and a provision is included to authorize the continuation of locality pay. 

Home foreclosure prevention.—LSC shall encourage its grantees 

in areas experiencing high foreclosure rates to use available funds 

to provide and expand legal assistance related to home ownership 

preservation, home foreclosure prevention and tenancy protection 

associated with home foreclosure. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION—LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

The bill includes language to continue the statutory requirements and restrictions contained in previous appropriations Acts. 

MARINE MAMMAL COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $3,200,000 for the Marine Mammal Commission. The increase above the request shall be for the hiring of two 

additional FTEs to monitor oil and gas issues such as the expansion of exploration and the clean-up of oil spills on ice, as well as 

emerging fishery issues. 

NATIONAL VETERANS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

No funds are provided for the National Veterans Business Development Corporation. Division D contains appropriations for the 

Small Business Administration’s veterans programs that are available to support the work of small business veterans centers. 

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $47,272,000 for the Office of the United States 

Trade Representative (USTR), which is $1,000,000 above the request. Additional funding is provided for USTR’s pay and inflationrelated increases, and to support current staffing levels. 

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).—Significant intellectual property issues infringe on our trading relationships with China, Russia 

and Canada. USTR is encouraged to continue to prioritize such 

issues in bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations, and in particular, to provide a report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations on Russia’s progress in complying with intellectual property commitments. 

Textiles.—The current path of tariff reduction negotiations under 

the Doha Round may result in a non-reciprocal arrangement detriVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00362 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

mental to United States manufacturers. Such negotiations should 

be consistent with the trade negotiating objectives of the United 

States contained in section 2012 of the Bipartisan Trade Promotion 

Authority Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C. 3802). The USTR is directed to 

report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 

within 60 days of enactment of this Act regarding adherence to 

these objectives. 

Reporting requirements.—The USTR may fare better in bringing 

trade dispute cases to the WTO by using additional support from 

private counsel. In-house expertise in long-term, complex WTO dispute cases is difficult to maintain in an ever-changing international 

trade climate. Outside counsel in countries such as China, Russia 

and Brazil could assist with clarification of local laws and regulations, enforcement policies and practices, and market conditions. 

USTR is directed to report back to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on the desirability of a new such authority. 

Galileo program.—The USTR is directed to report on the status 

of U.S. equipment industry access to the European Community’s 

(EC) Galileo program and European markets for related goods and 

services, no later than April 1, 2009, in order to assess EC compliance with the 2004 US–EU Agreement on GPS-Galileo Cooperation. 

World Trade Organization.—The Department of Commerce is directed, in consultation with the USTR, 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. The agency shall consult with and provide regular reports, every 60 days, to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. In addition, negotiations shall 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. 

STATE JUSTICE INSTITUTE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $4,100,000 for the State Justice Institute (SJI), of which $250,000 shall remain available until September 30, 2010. 

Within funds appropriated, $500,000 may be used for strategic initiatives that will have national implications for the courts. SJI is 

directed to continue its policy of obtaining dollar-for-dollar matching funds for grants awarded during fiscal year 2009. The SJI is 

encouraged to continue to work with the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs on issues involving State courts.

initiates a new program, project or activity; (2) eliminates a program, project, or activity, unless the Appropriations Committees of 

both Houses of Congress are notified 15 days in advance; (3) increases funds or personnel by any means for any project or activity 

for which funds have been denied or restricted, unless the Appropriations Committees of both Houses of Congress are notified 15 

days in advance; (4) relocates offices or employees, unless the Appropriations Committees of both Houses of Congress are notified 15 

days in advance; (5) reorganizes or renames offices, programs, or

notified 15 days in advance; or (9) results from any general savings, including savings from a reduction in personnel, which would 

result in a change in existing programs, activities, or projects as 

approved by Congress, unless the Appropriations Committees of 

both Houses of Congress are notified 15 days in advance. No 

reprogrammings of funds are permitted after August 1, except in 

extraordinary circumstances, and only after the House and Senate 

Committees are notified in advance of such reprogramming of 

funds. Agencies must follow reprogramming procedures with respect to carryover funds. 

Section 506 prohibits funds from being used to implement, administer, or enforce any guidelines of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission covering harassment based on religion similar to proposed guidelines published by the EEOC in October 1993. 

Section 507 provides that if it is determined that any person intentionally affixes a ‘‘Made in America’’ label to any product that 

was not made in America that person shall not be eligible to receive any contract or subcontract with funds made available in this 

Act.

Section 508 requires quarterly reporting to Congress of unobligated balances that were received during any previous fiscal year.

provides transfer authority between appropriation accounts to 

carry out the provision, subject to reprogramming procedures. 

Section 510 prohibits funds made available in this Act from being 

used to promote the sale or export of tobacco or tobacco products 

or to seek the reduction or removal of foreign restrictions on the 

marketing of tobacco products, provided that such restrictions are

same type. This provision is not intended to impact routine international trade services provided to all U.S. citizens, including the 

processing of applications to establish foreign trade zones. 

Section 511 prohibits funds made available in this Act from being 

used to implement a Federal user fee for background checks conducted pursuant to the Brady Handgun Control Act of 1993, or to 

implement a background check system that does not require and 

result in the destruction of certain information within 24 hours. 

Section 512 delays the obligations of any receipts deposited into the Crime Victims Fund in excess of $635,000,000 until October 1, 

2009. This language is continued to ensure a stable source of funds 

will remain available for the program, despite inconsistent levels of

Section 513 prohibits the use of Department of Justice funds for 

programs that discriminate against or denigrate the religious beliefs of students participating in such programs.

Section 515 provides that funds provided for E-Government Initiatives shall be subject to the procedures set forth in section 505 

of this Act. 

Section 516 requires the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms

draw broad conclusions about firearms-related crime. 

Section 517 requires certain timetables of audits performed by 

Inspectors General of the departments and agencies funded in this 

Act. 

Section 518 prohibits the use of funds to process patents of 

human organisms. The intent of this provision is as expressed in 

the colloquy between the provision’s sponsor in the House and the 

Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on Appropriations as occurred on July 22, 2003, with respect to any existing patents on stem cells. 

Section 519 prohibits the use of funds in this Act to be used to

$5,000,000 unless the prospective contractor or grantee certifies

been convicted of a criminal offense under the IRS Code of 1986, 

and has no unpaid Federal tax assessment. 

Section 528 prohibits the use of funds in this Act that is inconsistent with the principal negotiating objective of the United States

2This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the Congressional Record on February 23, 2009, prior to House consideration of the bill and as directed by the House of Representatives in section 2 of H. Res. 92 (as amended by section 2 of H. Res. 108). The Statement 

appears in the February 23 Congressional Record, beginning on page H1653. 

[CLERK’S NOTE: Reproduced below is the material relating to division C contained in the ‘‘Explanatory Statement Submitted by Mr. 

Obey, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Regarding H.R. 1105, Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009’’.] 2

DIVISION C—ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT AND 

RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2009 

Following is an explanation of the effects of this division (hereafter referred to as the ‘‘bill’’). Funds for the individual programs 

and activities within the accounts in this Act are displayed in the 

detailed table at the end of the explanatory statement for this Act. 

Funding levels that are not displayed in the detailed table are 

identified in this explanatory statement. 

TITLE I—DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE—CIVIL DEPARTMENT 

OF THE ARMY 

CORPS OF ENGINEERS—CIVIL

The summary tables included in this title set forth the dispositions with respect to the individual appropriations, projects and activities of the Corps of Engineers. Additional items of the bill are 

discussed below. 

New starts.—The passage of the Water Resources Development 

Act in 2007 presented the Committees on Appropriations with the 

reality of seven years of unmet demand for new studies and 

projects. This has posed a challenge in balancing the funding needs 

of ongoing work with the ability to fund potential new start studies 

and projects which are the future of the program. Ultimately, a 

limited number of new studies and projects are funded in this bill, 

and these are for traditional Corps missions. Therefore, projects 

and studies that met the following criteria were excluded from consideration: 

1. new environmental infrastructure authorizations; 

2. non-traditional project authorizations; 

3. authorizations that have not been through the traditional two 

phase planning process; 

4. new projects under sections 206 and 1135 of the Continuing 

Authorities Program, as these program sections are oversubscribed; 

5. projects that include demonstration features; 

6. new projects that would require funds from the Inland Waterway Trust Fund (IWTF) because of lack of funding in the IWTF. 

Inland Waterways Trust Fund.—When the fiscal year 2009 budget was presented to Congress, the administration was aware that 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
592 

its proposed budget did not take into account the looming deficit 

in the IWTF due to the amount of ongoing work on the inland waterway system. More funding was proposed to be utilized from the 

IWTF than was estimated to be available. The administration’s 

budget for fiscal year 2009 was predicated on enactment of its legislative proposal to change the revenue structure by October 1, 

2008. Since neither this proposal nor any other potential fix to the 

IWTF shortfall has been enacted, the administration’s request as 

proposed is not, and cannot be, fully funded. 

To address the funding shortfall in the IWTF the bill takes the 

unusual step of directing in legislative text that only nine inland 

waterway projects will have access to IWTF revenues in fiscal year 

2009 in order to assure that planned work does not exceed revenues. The Corps is directed in fiscal year 2009 to utilize the general fund of the U.S. Treasury to fund inland waterway projects 

without specific statutory requirements for IWTF revenues. This 

change is intended as a single year stopgap measure to allow the 

new administration an opportunity to address the solvency of the 

trust fund. The Corps is directed to bring fiscal year 2009 inland 

waterway projects funded entirely with general fund revenues to a 

logical stopping point and defer future work until such time as the 

IWTF revenue stream is enhanced and these projects can again be 

cost shared with the IWTF. Once the revenue stream is sufficient 

to allow additional work, the Corps is directed to adjust the cost 

share so that the total project costs will be cost shared at fifty percent. Legislative text is also included to prohibit the Corps from entering into any new continuing contracts for any inland waterway 

project until a permanent solution to enhance IWTF revenues is 

enacted. 

The administration should submit the fiscal year 2010 budget 

based on expected revenues in the IWTF, not projections predicated 

on legislation that may or may not happen. If the budget is submitted utilizing the same assumptions for the IWTF that the administration made this year, spending will be curtailed on all inland waterway projects in fiscal year 2010 to a level that fits within the IWTF estimated revenues. No change in law has been made, 

nor does this bill propose any such change, to alleviate the funding 

problem that will occur in fiscal year 2009. 

The policy of sharing the cost of construction and major rehabilitations between the IWTF and the general fund makes the users 

active partners in the overall inland waterway system and provides 

for a better, more efficient system. As the Congress pays the full 

cost of the operation and maintenance of the inland waterway system, the capital costs are properly shared at 50 percent by the 

beneficiaries. 

Budget Justifications.—The Corps is commended for the layout of 

the budget justifications for fiscal year 2009. Grouping projects by 

Division rather than according to business lines makes the justifications more useful and provides more easily accessible information to the public. It is expected that this method of displaying the 

budget justifications will be continued for the fiscal year 2010 

budget. 

However, the justifications for Operation and Maintenance 

(O&M) projects are staggeringly inadequate. The only information 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
593 

provided was the business line totals for each region. For a 

$2,500,000,000 account, this is an unacceptable manner to justify 

a budget. More information was provided for the $40,000,000 in 

studies in the Investigations account than was provided for all of 

O&M. The justifications for the Continuing Authorities Program, 

Flood Plain Management Services, Planning Assistance to States 

and the Dam Safety/Seepage Stability Correction Program were 

also inadequate. The justifications for these items showed a total 

dollar value and listed projects, but gave no information how the 

program totals were derived. There is no way to know from these 

justifications whether the administration’s proposal underfunds or 

overfunds these programs. For fiscal year 2010, the Corps is directed to provide, at minimum, detailed project information for 

each O&M project adequately justifying the needs for each project. 

If the administration chooses to continue to provide the business 

line information, it may be provided as a separate appendix to the 

justifications. 

Reprogramming.—To ensure that the expenditure of funds in fiscal year 2009 is consistent with congressional direction, to minimize the movement of funds and to improve overall budget execution, the bill incorporates by reference the projects and direction 

identified in the report accompanying this Act into statute. Further, the bill carries a legislative provision outlining the circumstances under which the Corps of Engineers may reprogram 

funds. 

INVESTIGATIONS 

The bill provides $168,100,000 for Investigations. 

The allocation for projects and activities within the Investigations account is shown in the following table:

White River Navigation to Newport, Arkansas.—Within the 

amounts provided, the Corps is directed to reevaluate the feasibility of the channel from Newport to Batesville given current economic conditions. 

Los Angeles River Ecosystem Restoration, California.—Funding is 

included to continue the existing study. This funding shall not be 

applied to the new authorization for the Los Angeles River which 

is considered a new start. 

Long Island, Marsh and Johns Creeks, Georgia.—No funding is 

included for this project as there is no identified non-federal sponsor. 

Savannah Harbor Expansion, Georgia.—This project is funded in 

the Construction account. 

Louisiana Coastal Area Ecosystem Restoration, Louisiana.—The 

bill includes $8,604,000 for these important studies. The requested 

separate Science and Technology line item under this study is, once 

again, not funded. Worthwhile science work should be budgeted 

within the study line item as is done for all other studies and 

projects. To the extent practicable, the Corps is directed to expedite 

preconstruction engineering and design studies of a sediment diversion at Myrtle Grove. The work should focus on project performance using capacity to take sufficient advantage of large pulsed 

flows during less-than-annual high-flow periods, and during river 

flood events, when a large amount of sediment is freely available 

in the river water column. The success of ongoing efforts to bolster 

structural hurricane protection and rebuild hurricane damaged 

communities depends on arrest and reversal of the coastal land loss 

in the near term. Resolution of the land loss issue will require construction of sediment reintroduction projects, such as the Myrtle 

Grove diversion. 

Great Lakes Remedial Action Plans (RAP), Michigan.—Within 

the funds provided, $150,000 is for the Niagara River area of concern and $60,000 is for the Maumee River area of concern. 

Swope Park, Kansas City, Missouri.—This project is funded in 

the Construction account. 

Corpus Christi Ship Channel, Texas.—This project is funded in 

the Construction account. 

Planning Support Program.—Additional funds are provided to 

support the Planning Centers of Expertise. A portion of these funds 

should be provided to the National Planning Center of Expertise 

for Coastal Storm Damage Reduction to develop a process for managing shore protection projects as part of a systems approach to 

coastal protection for the purpose of achieving improved project 

performance, increased cost effectiveness, and enhanced benefits. 

Research and Development.—Within the funds provided, the 

Corps should continue submerged aquatic vegetation research in 

the Chesapeake Bay. 

CONSTRUCTION 

The bill provides $2,141,677,000 for Construction. 

The allocation for the projects and activities within the Construction account is shown in the following table:

Alaska Coastal Erosion. The following communities are eligible recipients of these funds: Kivalina, Newtok, Shishmaref, Koyukuk, 

Barrow, Kaktovik, Point Hope, Unalakleet, and Bethel. 

American River Watershed (Folsom Dam Raise), California.—The 

bill includes $2,000,000. Within the funds provided, $1,000,000 is 

for the replacement bridge. 

Kaweah River, California.—Within the funds provided for the 

Terminus Dam, Kaweah River project, the Secretary is directed to 

reimburse the non-federal sponsor for a portion or all of the reimbursable work carried out on the project and to ensure that the 

non-federal sponsor is fully reimbursed not later than March 1, 

2010. 

Success Dam, Tule River, California.—No funds are provided for 

this project as there is sufficient carryover funds to meet fiscal year 

2009 requirements. 

Delaware Coast Protection, Delaware.—The bill includes $373,000 

to reimburse the state for the Federal share of the annual operation and maintenance of the sand bypass facilities. 

South Florida Everglades Ecosystem Restoration, Florida.—The 

bill includes no funding for the Modified Waters element of the Everglades Restoration within the Energy and Water Development 

appropriations. The funding for this project is contained within the 

Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies appropriations.

the Corps shall continue work on the Upper St. Johns River 

project. 

Tampa Harbor, Florida.—Funds are provided for Planning, Engineering and Design and to continue to reevaluate navigation needs 

in the Tampa Harbor. 

Rural Idaho Environmental Infrastructure, Idaho.—The bill includes $5,000,000 for this project. Within the funds provided the 

Corps should give consideration to the project at Ammon (Eastern 

Idaho Regional Project). Other communities that meet the program 

criteria should be considered as funding allows. 

Olmsted Locks and Dam, Ohio River, Illinois and Kentucky.— 

None of the funds provided for the Olmsted Locks and Dam project 

or any other Construction funds are available to reimburse the 

Claims and Judgment Fund. 

Upper Mississippi River Restoration, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, 

Missouri and Wisconsin.—The Corps is directed to complete a plan 

to transition this project to the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program (NESP) for the Upper Mississippi River System. 

Funding will be considered for this new project when an adequate 

plan to complete ongoing projects and transition future projects to 

the new authority is received by the Committees on Appropriations. In order to facilitate this transition, the Corps is directed not 

to initiate any new projects under this authority. Funding should 

be focused on the completion of all existing work to facilitate the 

initiation of the new authority. 

Missouri Fish and Wildlife Recovery, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, 

Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.—The bill includes $57,418,000 for this project. Funds are included for modiVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00606 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

fications to the Intake Dam to provide additional habitat for the 

pallid sturgeon. To ensure that independent science guides Missouri River Recovery and its applications of adaptive management 

and to ensure that the success of the recovery efforts are adequately measured and money wisely spent, the Corps is directed to 

continue to provide funds through this program to the U.S. Geological Survey for necessary science activities and monitoring. 

Chesapeake Bay Environmental Program, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.—The bill includes $1,148,000 for continuation 

of this project. Within the funds provided, $328,000 is included to 

complete the environmental studies concerning non-native oysters. 

Muddy River, Boston and Brookline, Massachusetts.—Funding is 

included to continue project design and construction, including ecosystem restoration features. 

Rural Montana, Montana.—The bill includes $4,785,000 for this 

project. Within the funds provided, the Corps should give consideration to the following projects: County Water District of Billings 

Heights, Phase II Upgrade; Seeley Lake Water System Upgrade; 

Gildford Wastewater System Improvements; Daly Ditches Water; 

City of Shelby, Wastewater System Improvements; Muddy Cluster 

Water Line; Manhattan Water Project; Ten Mile Estates/Pleasant

Greater Woods Bay Wastewater Collection System; Homestead 

Acres Water and Sewer Well Acquisition; Manhattan Water Improvements; Great Falls Upper/Lower River Road Water and Sewer 

District Improvements; Judith Gap Wastewater Improvements; 

Loma County Water Improvement Project; and Carter Water Improvement Project, Phase II. 

Rural Nevada Environmental Infrastructure, Nevada.—The bill 

includes $18,000,000 for this project. Within the funds provided, 

the Corps should give consideration to projects at North Lemmon 

Valley; Spanish Springs Valley Phase II; Huffaker Hills Water conservation; Lawton-Verdi; Boulder City; Lyon County; Gerlach; 

Searchlight; Incline Village; Esmeralda County; Cold Springs; 

Fallon; Goldfield; Churchill County; West Wendover; Yearington; 

Virgin Valley Water District; Lovelock; Truckee Meadows Water 

Authority; McGill-Ruth Consolidated Sewer and Water District; 

Carlin; Moapa; Indian Springs; Eldorado Valley; Ely and Carson 

City. Other communities that meet the program criteria should be 

considered as funding allows. 

Lake Sakakawea, North Dakota.—The original health care facility for the Three Affiliated Tribes was permanently inundated due 

to the impoundment of Lake Sakakawea. A replacement healthcare 

facility was promised but never constructed. The bill includes 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
614 

$17,048,000 for construction of the replacement health care facility. 

The Corps is directed to work closely with the Indian Health Service and the Three Affiliated Tribes on the design and construction 

of this facility. The Corps should utilize the expertise in their military programs office for design and construction of this project. 

North Dakota Environmental Infrastructure, North Dakota.—The 

bill includes $10,000,000 for this program, including $1,600,000 for 

work related to the replacement of the Devils Lake Water supply 

pipeline and $8,400,000 for the Parshall water project. 

Columbia River Treaty Fishing Access Sites, Oregon and Washington.—Within the funds provided, $2,900,000 shall be used to 

complete construction of Celilo Village and transfer funds to the 

Department of Interior for the operation and maintenance of the 

completed site. 

Locks and Dams 2, 3, and 4, Monongahela River, Pennsylvania.—The bill includes $15,900,000 to continue construction of 

this project. The reduction made to this project is a result of a continuing contract that the Corps did not award in fiscal year 2008 

due to insufficient funds within the Inland Waterway Trust Fund. 

Not awarding the contract in fiscal year 2008 obviated the need for 

follow-on funding in fiscal year 2009, thus lowering the amount 

needed for this project in fiscal year 2009. In recognition of the serious deterioration of existing infrastructure that must be maintained until this project is completed, additional funding is provided in the Operation and Maintenance account to address critical 

short-term activities. 

Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Lower Brule Sioux, South Dakota.— Title IV of the Water Resources Development Act of 1999, Public 

Law 10653, authorizes funding to pay administrative expenses, implementation of terrestrial wildlife restoration plans, activities associated with land transferred or to be transferred, and annual expenses for operating recreational areas. The bill includes 

$2,871,000 for this effort. Within the funds provided, not more than 

$750,000 shall be for administrative expenses. The Corps is directed to distribute the remaining funds as directed by title IV to 

the State of South Dakota, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and the 

Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. 

Central City, Fort Worth, Upper Trinity River, Texas.—The Modified Central City project, which includes efficiencies and additional 

benefits resulting from the project’s reformulation, has been found 

by the Secretary to be technically sound and environmentally acceptable. Further, the Secretary signed a Record of Decision on 

May 21, 2008, finding the project to be in the public interest. The 

Corps is directed to use funds provided for this project, along with 

any previously provided funds, to proceed expeditiously with construction of the modified project. 

Houston-Galveston Navigation Channels, Texas.—Any amount remaining unobligated at the end of fiscal year 2009 shall be used 

to complete outstanding work items of the Houston Ship Channel. 

Lower Monumental Lock and Dam, Washington and Oregon.—No 

funding is included for this new start recommended by the administration in the O&M account. It is imprudent to initiate the major 

rehabilitation report that would be cost shared in the IWTF when 

construction work has to be curtailed due to the funding shortfalls 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
615 

in the trust fund. The project should not be initiated until the revenues have been enhanced for the IWTF. 

Aquatic Plant Control Program.—The bill includes $3,828,000 for 

this program. Additional funds are included for cost-shared programs for Lake Gaston, North Carolina; Lake Champlain, 

Vermont; and Lake Chautauqua, New York. 

Continuing Authorities Program.—The Corps shall give first priority to the projects listed in the tables in this explanatory statement. Projects with specified amounts shall receive no less than 

the amounts specified. 

For each Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) section, available funds over and above the amounts specified shall be allocated 

to the projects listed in the table for that section, including projects 

with specified amounts, in the following sequence of steps until the 

funds are exhausted: 

1. capability-level funds for ongoing projects that have executed 

cost sharing agreements for the applicable phase; 

2. capability-level funds for projects that are ready for execution 

of new cost sharing agreements for the applicable phase and for 

which Corps Headquarters authorizes execution of the agreements; 

3. funds, as permitted by Corps policies, for other projects previously funded for the applicable phase but not ready for execution 

of new cost sharing agreements; 

4. funds as permitted by Corps policies, for projects not previously funded for the applicable phase. 

Within the step at which available funds are exhausted for each 

CAP section, funds shall be allocated to the projects in that section 

that rank high according to the following factors: high overall performance based on outputs; high percent fiscally complete; high unobligated carry-in; and listing in any conference report or statement of managers from fiscal year 2003 through fiscal year 2008. 

Section 14 funds shall be allocated to the projects that address the 

most significant risks and adverse consequences, irrespective of 

phase or previous funding history. 

The Corps shall continue the ongoing process for suspending and 

terminating inactive projects. Suspended projects shall not be reactivated or funded unless the sponsor reaffirms in writing its support for the project and establishes its willingness and capability 

to execute its project responsibilities. 

Funds specified for projects in this report and funds specified for 

projects in the conference reports for fiscal years 2006 and 2008 

that are carried over into fiscal year 2009 and are unobligated shall 

remain available for the respective projects and shall not be reprogrammed until October 1, 2010, except in the cases of completed 

or terminated projects. 

In order to provide a mix of studies, design and construction 

within each CAP section, the Corps is directed to divide the funding generally 80/20 between the Design and Implementation and 

the Feasibility phases within each authority. The Chief of Engineers shall provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations 

within 30 days of enactment of this Act detailing how funds will 

be distributed to the individual items in the various CAP sections 

for the fiscal year. The Chief shall also provide an annual report 

at the end of each fiscal year detailing the progress made on the 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
616 

backlog of projects. The report should include the completions and 

terminations as well as progress of ongoing work. 

The Corps is directed not to initiate any new continuing authorities projects in sections 205, 206, 208 or 1135 without explicit congressional direction. New projects may be initiated in the remaining sections after an assessment is made that such projects can be 

funded over time based on historical averages of the appropriation 

for that section and after prior approval by the Committees on Appropriations. 

Shore Line Erosion Control Development and Demonstration Program.—The bill includes $875,000 to be used along with prior year 

funds for an innovative approach to storm damage reduction at Sacred Falls Beach Park, Hawaii, by restoring and maintaining a 

pocket beach with an innovative sediment retaining structure. 

Use of prior year balances.—A total of $3,892,000 in previously 

appropriated funds are redirected to other purposes. This amount 

includes $1,082,000 from the Dredge Material Disposal Facilities 

Program due to the lack of a local sponsor and $2,810,000 from the 

Success Dam, Tule River Project, California, which is not required 

in fiscal year 2009. 

MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES 

The bill provides $383,823,000 for Mississippi River and Tributaries (MR&T). 

The allocation for projects and activities within the Mississippi 

River and Tributaries account is shown in the following table:

$500,000 is for the Storage Dam Fish Passage Feasibility Study. 

Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Project, Title I.—In fiscal 

years 2006 and 2008, the conference report and explanatory statement expressed concern that the Bureau of Reclamation was making excess releases of approximately 100,000 acre-feet of water per 

year from storage in Colorado River reservoirs to help meet the 

United States’ Colorado River water quality obligations to Mexico. 

The excess releases are being made because Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District’s agricultural return flows—that bypass the Colorado River and are discharged to the Cienega de 

Santa Clara in Mexico (bypass flows)—are not counted as part of 

the 1.5 million acre-feet of water that the United States is required 

to deliver annually to Mexico. Because the bypass flows are not 

counted, system storage from the Colorado River has been used to 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
644 

make up for the bypass flows. The Yuma Desalting Plant was originally constructed to treat the flows and return a portion of them 

to the river, thus reducing excess releases from Colorado River reservoirs. The current drought and projected long-term water demands have heightened concern about this demand on the river 

system. Consequently, in fiscal years 2006 and 2008, the conference 

report and explanatory statement also directed the Bureau of Reclamation to dedicate sufficient resources to the Yuma Desalting 

Plant so that one-third operational capacity may be achieved by the 

end of calendar years 2006 and 2008, respectively. To date, the 

plant is not one-third operational, although the Bureau of Reclamation did conduct a demonstration run at one-tenth capacity for 90 

days in 2007. The Bureau of Reclamation is directed, within the 

funds provided for the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control 

Project, title I, to dedicate sufficient funds to the Yuma Desalting 

Plant so that one-third operational capacity may be achieved by 

June 30, 2009. The Bureau of Reclamation is also directed to provide the Committees on Appropriations with a status report of the 

plant’s operational status no later than September 30, 2009. If the 

plant is not one-third operational by June 30, 2009, the report shall 

include an explanation as to why the Bureau of Reclamation has 

failed to comply with this directive. 

Drought Emergency Assistance.—Within the funds provided, the 

Bureau of Reclamation is urged to provide full and fair consideration for drought assistance to the State of Hawaii. 

Research and Development, Desalination Research and Development Program.—Within the amounts provided, $2,000,000 shall be 

provided to New Mexico State University for research activities undertaken at or associated with the National Inland Desalination 

Research Facility. 

Salt Cedar/Russian Olive Control.—No funding under the 2006 

Salt Cedar/Russian Olive Control Act is included in the bill. Studies have shown that there is no water salvage gained by eradication of these invasive nuisance species. Without the water salvage component, there is no nexus to the Bureau of Reclamation’s 

mission of providing water and power to the West. This mission is 

much more suited to Federal agencies other than the Bureau of 

Reclamation. 

Title XVI, Water Reclamation, and Reuse.—Within the funds provided, $2,500,000 is for the WateReuse Foundation. 

Water for America Initiative.—A critical component of reducing 

tension among multiple water users is collaborative planning and 

joint operations. Within the amounts provided, funds are included 

for the Desert Research Institute to address water quality and environmental issues in ways that will bring industry and regulators 

to mutually acceptable answers. Within the amounts provided, the 

Bureau of Reclamation is urged to continue urban water conservation projects identified through the Metropolitan Water District of 

Southern California Innovative Conservation Program; industrial 

water efficiency surveys to assess opportunities to conserve water 

in industrial water use; and for weather based irrigation controller 

activities to pilot ways to speed distribution and acceptance of 

these landscape water efficiency devices.

areas: science, energy, environment, nuclear non-proliferation and 

national security. 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT 

The Department of Energy is directed to manage all projects in 

excess of $100,000,000 total cost in full compliance with DOE Management Order 413.3A. 

REPROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS 

The Department of Energy is directed to operate in a manner 

fully consistent with the following reprogramming guidelines. A reprogramming request must be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations for consideration before any implementation of a reorganization proposal which includes moving previous appropriations 

between appropriation accounts. The Department is directed to inform the Committees promptly and fully when a change in program 

execution and funding is required during the fiscal year. To assist 

the Department in this effort, the following guidance is provided 

for programs and activities funded in the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The Department 

is directed to follow this guidance for all programs and activities 

unless specific reprogramming guidance is provided for a program 

or activity. 

Definition.—A reprogramming includes the reallocation of funds 

from one activity to another within an appropriation, or any significant departure from a program, project, activity, or organization 

described in the agency’s budget justification as presented to and 

approved by Congress. For construction projects, a reprogramming

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $6,380,000,000 for Weapons Activities. 

U.S. Nuclear Weapons Strategy for the 21st Century.—In the future, if the Administration chooses to pursue a new warhead design, the Administration must first: 1) develop a 21st Century nuclear deterrent strategy sharply focused on today’s and tomorrow’s 

threats, and capable of serving national security needs; 2) determine the size and nature of the nuclear stockpile sufficient to serve 

that strategy; and 3) determine the size, cost, and nature of the nuclear weapons complex necessary to support the future stockpile 

and sustain the nuclear laboratories and scientific capabilities. 

Reprogramming authority.—The Department is provided limited 

reprogramming authority within the Weapons Activities account 

without prior approval from the Committees on Appropriations. 

The reprogramming control levels shall be as follows: subprograms 

within Directed Stockpile Work, Life Extension Programs, Stockpile Systems, Warhead Dismantlement, and Stockpile Services. Additional reprogramming control levels shall be as follows: Science 

Campaigns, Engineering Campaigns, Inertial Confinement Fusion

and funds may not be used for an item for which Congress has specifically denied funds or for a new program or project that has not 

been authorized by Congress. 

The Department must notify Congress within 15 days of the use 

of this reprogramming authority. Transfers during the fiscal year 

that would result in increases or decreases in excess of $5,000,000 

or that would exceed the limitations outlined in the previous paragraph require prior notification of and approval by the Committees 

on Appropriations. 

The Committees on Appropriations support Los Alamos National 

Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories naming laboratory 

facilities at their respective laboratories.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $1,034,656,000 for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The total amount of budget authority is offset by 

estimated revenues of $860,857,000, resulting in a net appropriation of $173,799,000. The bill includes $49,000,000 to be derived 

from the Nuclear Waste Fund. 

Of the $1,034,656,000 gross appropriation for fiscal year 2009, $49,000,000 is drawn from the Nuclear Waste Fund, $2,000,000 is 

drawn from the General Fund of the Treasury to execute NRC’s responsibilities to provide oversight of certain Department of Energy 

activities under section 3116 of Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (P.L. 108–375), and 

$27,148,000 is drawn from the General Fund of the Treasury to 

execute NRC’s homeland security responsibilities. Ninety percent of 

the balance of $956,508,000 (i.e., $860,857,000) is funded by fees 

collected from NRC licensees, and the remaining 10 percent (i.e., 

$95,651,000) is funded from the General Fund of the Treasury. 

Integrated University Program.—The bill includes $15,000,000 to 

support education in nuclear science, engineering, and related 

trades to develop a workforce capable of the design, construction,

Some of these funds are also to be used for scholarships for trade 

schools in the nuclear-related trades. Notwithstanding the requirements of section 243 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which makes 

employment at the Commission a condition of receiving educational 

assistance, the Commission is directed to make generous use of the 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
703 

waiver or suspension provisions available in section 243(c)(2). The 

nuclear education supported by this funding is intended to benefit 

the nuclear sector broadly (i.e., federal agencies, industry, and academia) rather than solely to benefit the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Within available funds, $5,000,000 is provided for the Integrated University Program cooperative research grant program. 

Fire Protection.—The NRC is currently piloting an alternative 

risk-based approach to fire safety that is likely to reduce fire safety 

requirements in certain ‘‘low risk’’ areas of nuclear power plants. 

As the NRC continues to work on these pilots, it must ensure that 

its methodology for assessing risk is either validated by independent third parties or applies standards developed by an independent entity and is transparent to the public. The NRC is directed to provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations 

within 60 days of enactment of this Act providing the status of the 

fire safety pilot projects and how all licensees are able to comply 

with either these new or existing regulatory requirements. 

Next Generation Nuclear Plant Licensing.—The NRC is directed 

to increase resources to work with the Department of Energy on 

the Next Generation Nuclear Plant, so that technical issues involved in licensing this new nuclear reactor will be identified and 

resolved as early as possible in the design process.

1This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing the Congressional Record on February 23, 2009, prior to House consideration of the bill and as directed by the House of Representatives in section 2 of H. Res. 92 (as amended by section 2 of H. Res. 108). The Statement 

appears in the February 23 Congressional Record, beginning on page H1653. 

[CLERK’S NOTE: Reproduced below is the material relating to division D contained in the ‘‘Explanatory Statement Submitted by Mr. 

Obey, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Regarding H.R. 1105, Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009’’.1

DIVISION D—FINANCIAL SERVICES AND GENERAL 

GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2009 

Following is an explanation of the effects of division D, relating 

to the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations 

Act, 2009. 

REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

The bill includes a provision (section 608) establishing the authority of agencies to reprogram funds and the limitations on that 

authority. The provision specifically requires the advance approval 

of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of any proposal to reprogram funds that meets specified criteria. 

Each agency is required to submit an operating plan to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not later than 60 

days after the enactment of this Act. This operating plan establishes the baseline for application of reprogramming and transfer 

authorities provided in this Act. Specifically, each agency should 

provide a table for each appropriation with columns displaying the 

budget request; adjustments made by Congress; adjustments for rescissions, if appropriate; and the fiscal year enacted level. The table 

shall delineate the appropriation both by object class and by program, project, and activity. The report must also identify items of 

special congressional interest. 

Agencies should submit reprogramming requests in a timely 

manner and provide a thorough explanation of the proposed reallocations, including a detailed justification of increases and reductions and the specific impact the proposed changes will have on the 

budget request for the following fiscal year. Except in emergency 

situations, reprogramming requests should be submitted no later 

than June 30. When an agency submits a reprogramming or transfer request to the Committees on Appropriations and does not receive identical responses from the House and the Senate Committees, it is the responsibility of the agency to reconcile the House 

and the Senate differences before proceeding, and if reconciliation 

is not possible, to consider the request to reprogram funds denied.

AGENCY REPORTS

As a measure to reduce costs and conserve paper, agencies funded by this Act that currently provide separate copies of periodic reports (such as Performance and Accountability Reports) to the 

Chairs of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and 

Subcommittees on Financial Services and General Government, 

and also to the Ranking Members of the Committees and Subcommittees, should send only one copy jointly addressed to the 

Chairs of the Committee and Subcommittee and one copy jointly 

addressed to the Ranking Members of the Committee and Subcommittee (separate copies should be sent to the House and the 

Senate). This will reduce by half (from eight to four) the copies of 

periodic reports agencies send to the Committees. 

COMPARISONS

Comparisons between amounts provided by this Act, amounts enacted for fiscal year 2008, and amounts requested by the President 

may be found in the table at the end of this division. 

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

DEPARTMENTAL OFFICES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $278,870,000 for departmental offices salaries 

and expenses. 

For the activities under this heading, the bill provides the following funding levels: 

Executive Direction ............................................................................... $21,619,000 

Economic Policies and Programs .......................................................... 45,910,000 

Financial Policies and Programs .......................................................... 36,039,000 

Terrorism and Financial Intelligence ................................................... 62,098,000 

Treasury-wide Management ................................................................. 21,600,000 

Administration ....................................................................................... 91,604,000 

Within the Financial Policies and Programs budget activity, the bill provides an increase of $500,000 above the amount assumed in 

the budget request for the Department’s Office of Financial Education. The Department is directed to target this increase toward 

financial education efforts aimed at elementary and high schools, 

as well as efforts aimed at combating predatory lending. 

Within the funds provided for the Office of Foreign Assets Con- trol (OFAC), not less than $300,000 is provided to increase, above 

fiscal year 2008 levels, efforts to reduce the backlog of OFAC Freedom of Information Act requests. 

The bill includes a provision allowing the Department to transfer 

up to 4 percent of funds available between budget activities upon 

notification of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. Transfers in excess of 4 percent may be made upon approval 

of the Committees on Appropriations. 

The Department is directed to submit to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations an operating plan for the fiscal year 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
953 

2009 resources provided to the Department, including all offices 

and bureaus, not more than 60 days after enactment of this Act. 

This requirement is further addressed by section 608 of this Act. 

The plan must include information on program increases and major 

procurements at the Department. The operating plan should incorporate input from all senior level managers of the Department, and 

once submitted, the final plan should be made available to those 

managers. 

The bill includes funding for the Department’s Office of General 

Counsel within the Executive Direction budget activity, rather than 

as a separate budget activity. The Department is directed to include, in its budget submission for fiscal year 2010, information on 

actual fiscal year 2008 costs, estimated fiscal year 2009 costs, and 

estimated fiscal year 2010 costs associated with the Office of General Counsel. 

As a result of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 

(EESA) and other actions to stabilize the financial markets, the Department’s responsibilities and activities have substantially and 

rapidly increased. The Department is expected to properly account 

for spending between amounts appropriated in the bill for specified 

activities and activities funded by direct spending authority under 

EESA. 

The Department is also expected to address the recommendations provided by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in 

the report titled ‘‘Troubled Asset Relief Program: Additional Actions Needed to Better Insure Integrity, Accountability, and Transparency’’ (GAO–09–161). Specifically, the Department is directed to 

implement reporting requirements to link the use of funds with the 

specified goals of EESA, to improve communications with Congress 

and the public, to monitor compliance with limitations on executive 

compensation, and to establish procedures for comprehensive oversight of contracts. The Committees on Appropriations are particularly concerned with the reliance on ‘‘time and materials’’ contracts, 

as the GAO has cited that these types of contracts present a high 

risk for the government because they provide no positive incentive 

to control for costs. The Department is directed to brief the Committees on Appropriations regularly on activities relating to EESA. 

The Department is directed to fully exercise its authority under 

EESA and its other authorities to reduce the amount of mortgage 

defaults and foreclosures. Preventing foreclosure is not only a key 

step to providing stability to domestic and global financial markets, 

it also will help keep American families in their homes during the 

economic crisis. 

The Committees on Appropriations are greatly concerned by the 

resource allocation decisions being made by OFAC, as noted in a 

November 2007 report from GAO. OFAC’s resource allocation decisions should be made on the basis of the most pressing national security threats facing the United States. OFAC is responsible for administering and enforcing more than 20 economic and trade sanctions programs, based on U.S. foreign policy and national security 

goals, against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international 

narcotics traffickers, and proliferators of weapons of mass destruction. Yet, as the GAO report points out, Cuba embargo-related 

cases comprised 61 percent of OFAC’s investigatory caseload from 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
954 

2000 through 2006. In contrast, Cuba embargo-related cases comprise a minor part of the investigation caseloads of the Commerce 

Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)/Office of Export Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (3 percent and 0.2 

percent, respectively). 

In addition, OFAC penalties for Cuba embargo violations represented more than 70 percent of OFAC’s total penalties between 

2000 and 2005. The report notes that most of these penalties were 

for infractions such as purchasing Cuban cigars. By contrast, Cuba 

embargo penalties comprised just 0.16 percent of the total penalties 

of BIS during the period of 2002–2006. The Commerce Department, 

the Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement, and the Justice Department reported undertaking relatively few investigations, penalties, and prosecutions of 

Cuba embargo violations. 

The Committees on Appropriations strongly concur with GAO’s 

recommendation that the Secretary of the Treasury direct OFAC to 

assess its allocation of resources for investigating and penalizing 

violations of the Cuba embargo with respect to the numerous other 

sanctions programs OFAC administers. The Department is directed 

to report to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, 

within 90 days of enactment of this Act, as to the steps it is taking 

to assess OFAC’s allocation of resources, along with any plans to 

reallocate OFAC resources. As part of such report, the Department 

is additionally directed to provide the following information: 

(1) for each fiscal year from 2001 to 2008, the following information related to OFAC’s Cuba-related licensing: 

• the number of family travel licenses issued, as well as the 

number denied; 

• the number of religious travel licenses issued, as well as the 

number denied; 

• the number of academic travel licenses issued, as well as the 

number denied; 

• the number of licenses issued for the various categories of permissible travel; 

• the number of licenses denied for the various categories of permissible travel; 

• the number of fines issued; 

• the average amount of fines; 

• the total amount (in dollars) of fines issued per violation category; 

• the number of Cuba travel service providers receiving licenses; 

• the names of Cuba travel service providers receiving licenses; 

• the number of Full-time Equivalents (FTE) used for issuing 

Cuba licenses; and 

• the number of FTE used for issuing licenses for Cuba travel 

service providers; 

(2) for each fiscal year from 2001 to 2008, the following information related to OFAC enforcement of the Cuba embargo: 

• the number of FTE used for Cuba embargo enforcement; 

• the number of fines issued; 

• the average amount of fines; 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
955 

• the total amount (in dollars) of fines issued, per violation category; • the number of cases heard by OFAC Administrative Law 

Judges, along with information on whether these judges were 

OFAC’s own, or whether they were borrowed from other Government agencies; • the average fine in these cases; and • the total amount (in dollars) of fines issued by these judges; 

(3) for each fiscal year from 1990 to 2008, the following information related to OFAC enforcement of the Cuba embargo: • the total amount of fines collected in each year; • the number of travelers engaged in illegal travel to Cuba and 

apprehended, as reported to OFAC, along with statistics as to the 

points-of-entry where travelers were apprehended; • the number of cases against travelers that were/are disputed 

by the traveler; • the number of these cases that are settled; • the average settlement amount; and • the average time from the first notice sent to the traveler until 

final settlement was reached; 

(4) for fiscal years 2007 and 2008, the number of FTE devoted 

to OFAC enforcement in the area of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. 

The Department is directed to fully implement the sanctions and 

divestment measures specified in the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act of 2007 as well as all other sanctions and divestment 

measures applicable to Sudan, Burma, Iran, and Zimbabwe. The 

Department is further directed to promptly notify the Appropriations Committees of any resource constraints that adversely impact 

the implementation of these sanctions programs. 

Given Iran’s failure to fully cooperate with International Atomic 

Energy Agency inspections and various resolutions passed by the 

United Nations Security Council, as well as continuing deficiencies 

in Iran’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing 

procedures, the Department is urged to continue working with 

other cognizant Federal agencies and international organizations, 

including the Financial Action Task Force, to help deter Iran’s support for weapons proliferation. 

A July 2007 GAO report found that while the Department has 

established many of the capabilities needed to select, control, and 

evaluate its information technology (IT) investments, the Department has significant weaknesses that hamper its ability to effectively manage its investments. The Department has since initiated 

efforts to improve its IT investment management process and recognizes the need to take proactive steps to strengthen its investment board operations and oversight. The Department is directed 

to continue improving the management of its capital investments, 

specifically focusing on integrating all of the Department’s bureaus 

into improvement efforts and institutionalizing improvements so 

that taxpayers will benefit from better management of future capital projects. The Department is further directed to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on a quarterly 

basis, beginning not later than 90 days after the date of enactment 

of this Act, on any planned or implemented improvements in the 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
956 

area of Treasury’s IT investments, including progress in addressing 

GAO’s recommendations. The Department is further directed to ensure that adequate resources are devoted both to projects in the 

capital phase and to proper maintenance and modernization of existing systems. 

DEPARTMENT-WIDE SYSTEMS AND CAPITAL INVESTMENTS PROGRAMS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $26,975,000 for systems and capital investments. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $26,125,000 for the Office of Inspector General. 

The bill provides additional funds above the budget request for the 

increased workload associated with Material Loss Reviews. 

The Inspector General of the Treasury, with respect to the Office 

of Thrift Supervision and the Comptroller of the Currency; the Inspector General of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, with

$8,500,000 is for technical assistance and other purposes for Native 

American, Native Hawaiian, and Alaskan Native communities. 

In addition, of the funds provided, $2,000,000 is included for a 

new competitive grants pilot program at the Department, aimed at 

providing financial counseling services to prospective homebuyers, 

as authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 

(Public Law 110–289). In developing the competitive grants process, the Department is directed to consult with other Federal agencies and public and private organizations with expertise in community-based financial counseling programs. 

The Department is directed to fund the Bank Enterprise Award 

program at a level not less than $22,000,000. 

Poverty, lack of economic opportunity, and lack of low-cost financial services continue to be problems across much of the Nation, 

particularly in many Hispanic-American, African-American, Native 

American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Alaskan Native, and 

other minority communities. The House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations appreciate the ongoing efforts of the CDFI Fund to 

work to remedy the particular problems in these communities and 

strongly encourage the CDFI Fund to continue to place a heavy 

emphasis on these efforts.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

TAXPAYER SERVICES

The bill includes $2,293,000,000 for Taxpayer Services, an increase of $143,000,000 above both the request and the amount provided in fiscal year 2008. The increase above the budget request is 

in addition to, and not a substitute for, the $127,000,000 in user 

fee collections that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) estimated in 

its fiscal year 2009 budget request would be available to supplement the Taxpayer Services account. Within the overall amount, 

not less than $9,500,000 is for low-income taxpayer clinic grants, 

and not less than $5,100,000 is for the Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program. Not less than $193,000,000 is provided for operating expenses of the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS). 

In addition, within the overall amount provided, $8,000,000, 

available until September 30, 2010, is included to continue the 

Community Volunteer Income Tax Assistance matching grants program. In administering this program, the IRS is not permitted to 

treat any in-kind contributions from the IRS as counting toward 

the $8,000,000 appropriation, nor shall the IRS reduce any current 

contributions toward tax return preparation services. 

Within the overall funds provided, the IRS is expected to devote 

funding to maintaining its processing of essential pension plan return information while transitioning to a new mandated electronic 

filing system in 2010. 

Of the increase above the budget request, $38,000,000 is directed 

to be targeted toward the following activities within the Pre-filing 

Taxpayer Assistance and Education budget activity: (1) increasing 

IRS outreach and education activities, for individuals, businesses, 

and tax-exempt entities, above the levels assumed in the fiscal year 

2009 budget request, (2) enhancements to IRS face-to-face service, 

and (3) enhancements to the IRS 1–800 help line service. The Department is directed to include, in its fiscal year 2009 operating 

plan, a specific plan for increasing these activities above the levels 

assumed in the budget request. For purposes of comparison, the 

plan should include: (1) details on the funding levels and full-time 

equivalents (FTEs) assumed in the fiscal year 2009 budget request 

for these activities, and (2) funding levels and FTEs for these activities as funded by this Act. The IRS is directed to add this funding to the IRS base budget and include it in future budget requests. To the maximum extent possible, these funds should go toward increasing the numbers of IRS personnel devoted to these activities. 

The IRS is directed to strengthen, improve, and expand taxpayer 

service overall. If the IRS proposes further reductions in specific 

taxpayer services, such reductions must be consistent with the 

budget justification, operating plan, and Taxpayer Assistance Blueprint, and the IRS must demonstrate that such reductions will not 

result in a decline in voluntary compliance. Where such reductions 

involve a reduction in face-to-face service, the IRS must demonstrate that the proposed reductions do not adversely impact compliance by taxpayers who are dependent on such services, by showing, through such means as a successful pilot program, survey, or 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
959 

other empirical means, that there is an effective and viable service 

alternative available. 

The IRS, the IRS Oversight Board and the National Taxpayer 

Advocate are directed to submit annually to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations an update to the Taxpayer Assistance Blueprint, detailing its implementation status and identifying 

any changes to the strategic plan for taxpayer service, including 

the results of any new research and relevant findings, and any 

open issues requiring additional research. The first update shall be 

submitted 120 days after enactment of this Act. 

The IRS is directed to continue to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on a quarterly basis, beginning 

not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, with 

updated projections on user fee collections. 

The IRS is directed to provide an assessment of lessons learned 

from the administration of the 2008 economic stimulus program, 

including recommendations for managing similar programs in the 

future and minimizing declines in level of core services, to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 120 

days after enactment of this Act. As part of such report, the IRS 

should include an analysis of the feasibility, including cost savings, 

of converting taxpayers who receive paper checks to electronic or 

debit card payment systems. 

Given the remote distance of Alaska and Hawaii from the U.S. 

mainland and the difficulty experienced by Alaska and Hawaii taxpayers in receiving needed tax assistance by the national toll free 

line, it is imperative that the TAS in each of these states is fully 

staffed and capable of resolving taxpayer problems of the most 

complex nature. The IRS is directed to continue to staff each TAS 

Center in each of these states with a Collection Technical Advisor 

and an Examination Technical Advisor in addition to the current 

complement of office staff. 

There continues to be a steady increase in the number of tax returns filed electronically. Eighty million tax returns were e-filed in 

2007. While the IRS did not meet the congressionally-mandated 

goal of having 80 percent of tax returns filed electronically by 2007, 

it achieved an overall e-file rate of 65 percent, up over 9 percent. 

The IRS is directed, in consultation with stakeholders, including 

the National Taxpayer Advocate, to implement a strategy to 

achieve the 80 percent e-file goal. This plan should address alternate electronic filing strategies, including Telefile and 2–D Bar 

Coding and methods of e-filing directly with the IRS for free. 

The Department’s fiscal year 2009 budget request for the IRS assumes more than $80,000,000 in efficiency savings. While it is important for the IRS, like all Federal agencies, to explore ways to 

achieve cost savings, these budget assumptions also carry risks, as 

the IRS would need to reduce program funding if savings fail to 

materialize as projected. An August 2007 report from TIGTA noted 

that savings estimates could not be validated for more than 

$146,000,000 in taxpayer service reengineering and program efficiencies initiatives over fiscal years 2006 and 2007. The IRS is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, on the steps it 

is taking to improve its processes for measuring savings and effiVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00953 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

ciencies, including steps to address TIGTA’s recommendations in 

this area. 

In recent years, the IRS has made progress expanding the availability of IRS services available in languages other than English, 

including the establishment of a Spanish-language version of 

‘‘Where’s My Refund?’’ in 2008. However, the IRS Taxpayer Advocate has also expressed concerns in recent years about the lack of 

availability of certain IRS services, forms, and publications in languages other than English, even though six percent of taxpayers do 

not speak English at home. The IRS is urged to continue to work 

to translate a broad range of documents, not just education and 

outreach materials, but also forms and examination and collection 

notices. 

In addition, an August 2007 TIGTA report showed that for the 

2007 filing season, the quality and level of customer service for 

Spanish-speaking taxpayers was lower than that provided for 

English-speaking taxpayers. Furthermore, the accuracy rate for tax 

answers provided by the IRS to Spanish-speaking taxpayers was 

lower than that for English-speaking taxpayers. The IRS is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, on the status of 

the quality and level of customer service for Spanish language applications on the IRS 1–800 help line, along with any IRS corrective actions planned or implemented to improve performance. 

Many low-income taxpayers and their families are having their 

Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) benefits unnecessarily diminished through high-cost, short-term products such as refund anticipation loans (RALs). The IRS is directed, in consultation with the 

National Taxpayer Advocate, to educate consumers about the costs 

associated with these products and expand access to alternative 

methods of obtaining timely tax refunds. 

The IRS, in consultation with the IRS Taxpayer Advocate, is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, on improvements being made in the process for making decisions about Taxpayer Assistance Center services and locations, including progress 

in addressing the recent recommendations of TIGTA in this area. 

The IRS has stated that it would achieve millions of dollars in 

cost savings as a result of the consolidation of IRS processing centers for paper tax returns. However, an August 2007 TIGTA report 

showed that the IRS had not provided adequate information about 

the actual results from the first two processing center closures. In 

addition, the IRS business decision to consolidate the processing 

centers did not include a cost-benefit analysis. Consequently, the 

IRS did not set financial goals for the consolidation, and thus has 

not had an incentive to determine how efficient its decisions have 

been. While the IRS has continued to successfully process individual income tax returns while implementing the consolidation, 

the report cited several unanticipated developments at the Fresno, 

CA processing site due to increased tax return volume, including 

delays in processing returns and a possible staffing shortfall. Prior 

to future processing center closures, the IRS is strongly urged to 

have the IRS Project Management Office complete a cost-benefit 

analysis, as recommended by TIGTA, to determine if the existing 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
961 

submission processing consolidation plan is optimal in terms of cost 

savings and operational effectiveness. 

ENFORCEMENT

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $5,117,267,000 for Enforcement. 

The IRS is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, 

on the status of efforts to improve IRS’s system for identifying paid 

preparers, including addressing the recommendations of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in this area. 

The IRS is urged to continue to work to avoid unnecessary delays 

in the issuances of Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) refunds, as 

such refunds comprise a significant portion of the annual income 

of eligible taxpayers. In addition, the IRS is directed to report to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 90 

days of enactment of this Act, on steps it is taking to address the 

recommendations of the IRS Taxpayer Advocate regarding barriers 

faced by taxpayers when negotiating the EITC audit process. 

An understanding of the causes of inadvertent noncompliance 

and the role of preparers in facilitating both inadvertent and intentional noncompliance will improve tax administration and should 

inform IRS’s allocation of resources. The IRS, in administering its 

National Research Program (NRP) for fiscal year 2009, is directed 

to collect information on the causes of noncompliance, including inadvertent noncompliance, the type of return preparation method 

(self, volunteer, paid preparer, or IRS preparer), whether the taxpayer was represented during the examination, and the extent to 

which that taxpayer sought and received IRS services. The IRS is 

further directed to use an independent external survey firm to conduct interviews with NRP taxpayers in order to identify the causes 

of taxpayer noncompliance. The National Taxpayer Advocate is directed to assist with this effort. 

Many types of vehicles, such as fire engines, garbage trucks, utility trucks, farm vehicles, cement trucks, dump trucks, and tow 

trucks use their main engine to run auxiliary equipment, which is 

known as ‘‘power take-off.’’ However, current IRS regulations prohibit taxpayers from taking a credit or claiming a refund for Federal fuel excise tax paid on fuel used to power the main propulsion 

engine for power take-off. The IRS is encouraged to consider 

issuing a rule to address this issue, in order to encourage fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. 

OPERATIONS SUPPORT

The bill provides $3,867,011,000 for Operations Support. Of the 

funds provided, up to $75,000,000 is available until September 30, 

2010 for information technology support and $1,000,000 is available until September 30, 2011 for research. In addition, not less 

than $2,000,000 is provided for the IRS Oversight Board. 

In addition to the normal operating plan requirements detailed 

in the introduction to this division of the statement, the IRS is directed to include in its fiscal year 2009 operating plan details on 

any planned reorganization, job reductions or increases to offices or 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
962 

activities within the agency, and modifications to any service or enforcement activity. The IRS is additionally directed to obtain comments on the operating plan from the IRS Oversight Board and to 

provide a summary of the comments as part of the operating plan 

submission to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. Further, the IRS should promptly notify the Committees on 

Appropriations and the IRS Oversight Board if there are any substantial changes to these plans. 

The Appropriations Committees continue to support adequate 

staffing levels for effective tax administration and support the 

staffing plans for the IRS facilities in the communities of Martinsburg and Beckley, West Virginia. The IRS is urged, within the constraints of the fiscal year 2009 funding levels, to make no staffing 

reductions at the Martinsburg National Computing Center and the 

programmed level at the Finance Center in Beckley, West Virginia. 

Further, the IRS is directed to provide an annual report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its efforts to 

protect and increase staffing levels at the Martinsburg and Beckley 

IRS facilities. 

Given the strong and legitimate concerns that continue to be 

raised by Congress, GAO, TIGTA, and others regarding information security vulnerabilities at the IRS and the IRS’s handling of 

cases of identity theft, the IRS is directed to report to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment of this Act as to the status of its efforts at improvement in 

these areas. 

A September 2007 GAO report noted that there are significant 

problems in the management of paper case files at the IRS. In particular, the report noted that the IRS does not have an effective 

process for ensuring that paper case files can be located within the 

requesters’ time frames, frequently causing unnecessary taxpayer 

burden and hindering the oversight efforts of Congress, GAO, 

TIGTA, and others. The IRS has agreed it needs to review its 

paper case file management program and has formed a cross-functional working group to identify improvements and consider GAO’s 

recommendations. The IRS is directed to report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 60 days of enactment 

of this Act, on progress IRS is making in improving its paper case 

file management. 

BUSINESS SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION

The bill provides $229,914,000 for Business Systems Modernization (BSM). Language is included requiring approval by the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations of a GAO-reviewed expenditure plan for BSM prior to the obligation of the funds, except 

in the case of funds for IRS labor costs. The Department is directed 

to notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, 

within seven days, if BSM management funds are reallocated to 

the capital asset acquisition program. 

As one of the Federal Government’s largest, most visible, and 

sensitive modernization efforts, managing the risks inherent in 

BSM will continue to require vigilant management attention for 

several years. To the IRS’s credit, the program has made steady 

progress over the past few years. At the same time, however, GAO 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
963 

has noted that three recent BSM project milestones experienced 

significant cost or schedule delays. In addition, future releases, especially the Customer Account Data Engine and Accounts Management Services projects, continue to face significant risks and issues 

that could impact overall cost and schedule estimates. The IRS is 

urged to work diligently to improve the BSM program, including efforts to address the related concerns highlighted by GAO and 

TIGTA, and to immediately report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations any delays or cost overruns associated 

with BSM efforts. 

HEALTH INSURANCE TAX CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

The bill provides $15,406,000 for administration of the Health 

Insurance Tax Credit program.

The bill provides $101,333,000 for the Office of Administration. Included in this amount is $5,700,000 for e-mail restoration activities and $11,923,000 for continued modernization of information 

technology infrastructure. 

The Administration should implement comprehensive policies 

and procedures for the preservation of all records, including electronic records such as e-mails, consistent with the requirements of 

the Presidential Records Act, the Federal Records Act, and other 

pertinent laws. The Office of Administration should also work 

closely with the National Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA) to ensure the full and complete maintenance and formatting of electronic records that will eventually be turned over to 

NARA. The Administration is directed to submit a report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 

June 30, 2009 describing actions it is taking to ensure such policies 

and procedures are in place, as well as the estimated costs, by program, activity, and fiscal year, of new systems, staff, or other resources needed to ensure the preservation of electronic Presidential 

records. 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $87,972,000 for the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). 

Included in this amount is funding to help OMB avoid further reductions in FTE as well as to help OMB meet its responsibilities 

related to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and 

other Federal efforts to stabilize the economy. In addition, the bill 

provides funding to maintain and modernize the Federal government’s core budgeting system, which is nearly 20 years old. Also 

included is funding, estimated at $200,000, for the printing of 

paper copies of the President’s annual budget submission so that 

Congress can properly and thoroughly evaluate the President’s 

budget proposals. For fiscal year 2009, OMB did not provide Congress with printed copies of the budget request resulting in the 

Government Printing Office assuming these costs. 

The value of Federal contracts has increased significantly in recent years to well over $400 billion. OMB, through its Office of 

Federal Procurement Policy, should be playing a central role in coordinating contracting oversight government-wide. However, in reVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00959 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

cent years, OMB appeared to be more focused on promoting questionable workforce conversion practices rather than vigorous contracting oversight. The Administration is strongly encouraged to 

refocus OMB’s efforts toward effective oversight of Federal contracts. 

An April 2008 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on 

use of purchase cards found that although purchase cards help 

agencies lower transaction costs for small purchases and provide 

procurement flexibility, 41 percent of the transactions made with 

purchase cards between July 2005 and June 2006 did not follow 

proper procedures. OMB is directed to report to the Committees on 

Appropriations within 120 days of enactment of this Act on actions 

taken to implement GAO’s recommendations and improve purchase 

card internal controls. 

OMB, working with the Environmental Protection Agency, 

should aggressively pursue completion of pending Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS) assessments, such as trichloroethylene 

(TCE), which has been under review by IRIS since 1998. In 2004, 

OMB initiated an interagency review of all IRIS assessments. The 

number of completed IRIS assessments has decreased since OMB, 

and in particular the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

became involved in the process. According to the GAO, 32 draft assessments were sent for external review in fiscal years 2006 and 

2007, but only four IRIS assessments were finalized; an unacceptable number. 

The President is urged to establish the Task Force on International Cooperation for Clean and Efficient Technologies as required under section 916 of the Energy Independence and Security 

Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–140). 

OMB is reminded of the report due to Congress no later than 

March 1, 2009, regarding the extent to which executive departments and agencies that administer directed funding allocate the 

designated amounts to intended recipients at a level less than specified in any enacted bill or accompanying report. 

OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $27,200,000 for Office of National Drug Control 

Policy (ONDCP) salaries and expenses. Of this amount, $1,300,000 

is for policy research and evaluation within the Office of Planning 

and Budget. This funding should be used to inform policy issues relating to formulation of the National Drug Control Strategy, including attention to demand reduction programs and policies. 

The findings of a recent study regarding ONDCP, requested by 

Congress and completed by the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), raise serious issues with the agency’s organization and management, as well as the agency’s national drug control 

strategy formulation, coordination, and budget. For example, the 

NAPA study ‘‘found ONDCP’s current structure to be less than optimally aligned for the work to be done, highly compartmentalized, 

and out of balance, with an over-abundance of supervisors, managers, and political appointees.’’ 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
967 

The strength and diversity of ONDCP’s workforce is also a serious concern. From fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2008, the agency’s 

workforce declined from 123 to 106, and both racial/ethnicity and 

female representation have declined significantly as a percentage of 

the total workforce. Political appointments (with the largest portion 

being Schedule C appointments) constitute almost a quarter of the 

workforce at this ‘non-partisan’ organization, a level greater than 

other EOP components. Among career staff, the level of turnover 

in some years has raised concerns about continuity of leadership as 

well as sufficiency of expertise. Management policies and practices, 

particularly those relating to human capital, have resulted in a 

highly centralized and non-transparent structure. More than onehalf of ONDCP employees report directly or secondarily to the chief 

of staff (a non-career SES position), while the deputy director of 

ONDCP, a Senate-confirmed Presidential appointee, has no supervisory responsibilities. 

The NAPA study also looked closely at ONDCP’s external relationships, including those with Congress. The Committees on Appropriations have had concerns for some time that ONDCP often 

disregards the intent of Congress. As an example, the Committees 

have expressed displeasure and frustration with how ONDCP approached a reorganization of its budget and Counterdrug Technology Assessment Center offices and its refusal to reverse the reorganization in spite of statutory law and directives. As the NAPA 

study noted, ‘‘[r]efusing to comply with statutory requirements, 

while not making the necessary efforts to resolve these issues with 

Congress, only serves to increase frustrations on both sides.’’ NAPA 

goes on to recommend that ONDCP be more engaged in addressing 

such issues with Congress. Improved communication and cooperation between ONDCP and Congress is possible if such efforts are 

made. 

The NAPA study contains many additional observations and recommendations. The Administration and ONDCP leadership are 

strongly encouraged to consider these recommendations as they review the goals, organization, and management of the agency. 

Methamphetamine production, trafficking and abuse continue to 

be a serious problem. ONDCP should continue its efforts to work 

with various agencies, such as the Departments of Justice, State, 

Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, along with 

state and local governments, to develop and implement strategies 

to reduce the demand for and supply of methamphetamine in the 

U.S.

The bill provides $3,000,000 for the Counterdrug Technology Assessment Center (CTAC) for counter-narcotics research and development. The bill requires a detailed spending plan for the use of 

these funds be submitted no later than 90 days after enactment of 

the Act. 

In fiscal year 2003, the CTAC research and development program was appropriated $22,000,000 (in addition, the Technology 

Transfer Program was funded under CTAC at $26,000,000). Since

that time, budget constraints and concerns about the direction and 

leadership of CTAC have resulted in dramatically reduced funding 

levels. The Committees on Appropriations are hopeful that new 

leadership at ONDCP and CTAC will reinvigorate this program so 

that this once-valuable program will again flourish. 

FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL PROGRAMS

HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $234,000,000 for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program (HIDTA). Of the funds provided, $2,100,000 

is provided for audit activities, including $250,000 for the continued operation and maintenance of the Performance Management 

System. 

The bill requires that HIDTAs existing in fiscal year 2009 receive 

funding at least equal to the fiscal year 2008 initial allocation level 

or $3,000,000, whichever is greater. The fiscal year 2009 initial allocation level (before the distribution of discretionary funds) may 

not exceed $47,457,447. 

The total amount provided assumes $15,939,987 in discretionary 

funds for the HIDTA program. ONDCP is directed to work closely 

with the HIDTA Directors to develop a framework for the use of 

these discretionary funds. Funding is provided within this amount 

to provide for a program adjustment for HIDTAs that qualify under 

performance measurement criteria. This program adjustment 

should be added to the baseline for the initial allocation levels that 

will be received by HIDTAs in fiscal year 2010. 

ONDCP is directed to transfer HIDTA funds to the appropriate 

drug control agencies expeditiously. On November 14, 2008, 

ONDCP sent a letter to HIDTAs stating that the distribution of initial allocation funding would be completed within 45 days of enactment of the fiscal year 2009 appropriation. The bill includes a requirement consistent with this timetable. The bill also includes a 

requirement that ONDCP submit its recommendations on discretionary funding for approval to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this Act. The 

timely review and transfer of both initial allocation funding and 

discretionary funding will significantly improve the ability of 

HIDTAs to manage these funds. 

The HIDTA funds should not be used to supplant existing support for ongoing Federal, state, or local drug control operations normally funded out of the operating budgets of each agency. ONDCP 

is directed to withhold all HIDTA funds from a state until such 

time as a state or locality has met its financial obligation for ongoing operations. 

As a result of the many new counties established with fiscal year 

2007 funds, ONDCP provided no funding for new counties in fiscal 

year 2008 with the Committees’ concurrence. For fiscal year 2009, 

discretionary funds may be provided for new counties if ONDCP 

and the HIDTA Directors determine that the need is warranted 

and the appropriate criteria have been met. As with all discretionary funds, ONDCP should follow the consultation and approval 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
969 

process with the Committees with regard to any new county funding. 

OTHER FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL PROGRAMS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

$8,000,000 is available for methamphetamine prevention messages. 

The bill maintains funding for non-advertising services for the 

Media Campaign at no less than the fiscal year 2003 ratio of service funding to total funds. These activities should continue to include special initiatives designed to reach Hispanic audiences and 

engage private sector participation in the program. 

As noted, the bill provides $1,250,000 to the National Alliance for 

Model State Drug Laws (NAMSDL). ONDCP is directed to provide 

the entire amount directly to NAMSDL within 30 days of enactment of this Act. 

Performance measures funding is used to conduct evaluation research for assessing the effectiveness of the National Drug Control 

Strategy. The bill provides $500,000 for this program and directs 

ONDCP to outline and submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a detailed plan for projects that assess the 

effectiveness of the strategy in achieving its goals and objectives, 

and develop and improve needed data sources, including specific 

funding levels, no later than 120 days after enactment of this Act. 

UNANTICIPATED NEEDS

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE

Repair and Restoration’’, ‘‘Council of Economic Advisers’’, ‘‘National 

Security Council’’, ‘‘Office of Administration’’, ‘‘Office of Policy Development’’, ‘‘Special Assistance to the President’’, and ‘‘Official 

Residence of the Vice President.’’ 

Section 202 requires a detailed narrative and financial plan to be 

submitted by ONDCP to the Committees on Appropriations not 

later than 60 days after enactment of this Act. 

Section 203 specifies that not to exceed 2 percent of ONDCP appropriations may be transferred between appropriated programs

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $30,384,000 for the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The bill provides one half of the requested funds for rental space for senior judges and one half the 

requested funding for law clerks for new judges. It is difficult to 

justify full funding of the Court’s requests when these requests are 

apparently based on the assumption that the maximum amount of 

space and staff will be necessary at any given time. Historically, 

these assumptions are then not realized, negating the requirement 

to provide full funding. In order for the Court’s request to be considered in full, the Court is urged to request that judges who are 

eligible for senior status declare their intention at the earliest possible opportunity. The Court is further urged to communicate information in a transparent and ongoing manner so that decisions on 

funding can be made based on the most up-to-date information 

available.

provides a cost of living adjustment from $100 to $102 an hour for 

non-capital panel attorneys and an adjustment from $170 to $174 

an hour for attorneys associated with capital cases. The bill further 

includes funding to provide a pay raise from $102 to $110 an hour 

for non-capital panel attorneys.

official receptions and representation. 

Section 304 requires a financial plan from the Judiciary allocating the sources and uses of all funds within 90 days of enactment of this Act. 

Section 305 extends the authority to contract for repairs of less 

than $100,000 to the Judiciary.

TITLE IV 

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 

FEDERAL FUNDS

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR RESIDENT TUITION SUPPORT

The bill includes $35,100,000 for a Federal payment for tuition 

support. The District of Columbia is expected to adhere to the authorizing statute with regard to the administrative expenses associated with operation of this program. 

The Mayor of the District of Columbia and the State Education 

Office are directed to institute cost containment measures and report regularly on these efforts. Additionally, the District of Columbia is directed to explore other funding options to augment the Federal investment for this program. The District of Columbia is expected to address any insufficiency in funding through ratable reductions and other adjustments or prioritizations based on the income and need of eligible students. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR EMERGENCY PLANNING AND SECURITY COSTS

IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The bill provides $39,177,000 for a Federal payment to the District of Columbia for the costs associated with emergency planning 

and security. Within the amount provided, $352,000 is for the District of Columbia National Guard for a tuition assistance program. 

Due to estimates of the unprecedented number of people who visited Washington, DC for the Presidential Inauguration, and the 

stress this event placed on the resources of the nation’s capital, the 

bill provides $38,825,000 for security and planning for this event. 

This is $23,825,000 more than the amount originally requested by 

the President and the District of Columbia. While all reports indicate that this event was unmatched in size, it may take some time 

for the actual costs to the District of Columbia to be clear. It is for 

that reason that the District of Columbia is urged to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations once the actual 

costs to the city are known. The District of Columbia is expected 

to include information about the amounts and other sources of Federal funding that were made available, or are anticipated, as a result of this event being designated a Federal emergency, when reporting to the Committees. 

Beginning in fiscal year 2010, the District of Columbia government is directed to submit a detailed budget justification with the 

funding request for this account. The District of Columbia is also 

directed to provide a report to the House and Senate Committees

attention given to detailing any deviation from the initial justification. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURTS

the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, $104,277,000 is for the 

District of Columbia Superior Court, $55,426,000 is for the District 

of Columbia Court System and $76,076,000 is for capital improvements to Court facilities. Increases for capital improvements above 

the amount requested in the President’s budget should be directed 

to renovations for the Moultrie Courthouse cell block. The Courts 

are directed to keep the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations informed on the status of the capital renovations, including schedule delays and significant cost increases. 

DEFENDER SERVICES IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURTS

The bill includes $52,475,000 for Defender Services in the District of Columbia. This amount is intended to provide an increase 

in the reimbursement rate for attorneys to $90 per hour. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE COURT SERVICES AND OFFENDER

SUPERVISION AGENCY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The bill provides $203,490,000 for a Federal payment to the 

Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of 

Columbia. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PUBLIC DEFENDER

SERVICE

The bill includes $35,659,000 for a Federal payment to the District of Columbia Public Defender Service. Of the amounts provided, $700,000 is available until September 30, 2010 for the moving expenses of the Mental Health Division.

The bill provides authority for the District of Columbia to spend 

$9,888,095,000 from the General Fund of the District of Columbia.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS FELLOWSHIP FOUNDATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $1,000,000 for the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation. 

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $146,000,000 for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. New authorities added through enactment of the 

2008 farm bill (Public Law 110–246), coupled with escalating public 

concern about record energy and agricultural commodity prices, 

and compounded by a growing influx of financial funds into the futures markets, make the CFTC’s present staffing situation 

unsustainable. 

The CFTC is directed to devote the resources provided above the 

budget request to hire up to 100 additional staff positions in fiscal 

year 2009 to conduct aggressive market surveillance and ensure 

vigorous enforcement of the laws. 

The CFTC is further directed to submit an expenditure plan for 

the increased appropriations provided in the bill above fiscal year 

2008. The plan should include details for how the agency will assign up to 100 new staff positions across its program activities. The 

plan should also include budget object classification information, as 

proscribed by OMB Circular A–11, for how the agency will obligate 

the increased funding provided by the bill. 

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $105,404,000 for the Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (CPSC). After years of budget cuts and staffing decline, Congress is providing the CPSC the additional resources it 

needs to substantially improve its product safety activities. CPSC 

will be expected to use this infusion of resources consistent with recently-enacted legislation to enhance efforts to keep unsafe products out of the marketplace. 

Of the amount provided, $17,098,000 is estimated for new responsibilities and requirements set by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, including the development of a consumer product safety database; and $7,138,000 is estimated for activities under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. 

Funds are also available within the amount provided to assign a 

Regional Product Safety Officer and one locally-employed staff position to the United States embassy in Beijing, China. This will better enable the CPSC to aggressively promote compliance with U.S. 

product safety standards, requirements, and expectations by Chinese and other Asian governments, manufacturers, and exporters. 

Also included is $412,000 for three additional positions to support the Inspector General of the CPSC. This includes two auditors 

and one administrative officer. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
978 

The CPSC is directed to consider promulgating regulations that 

require cribs to be durability-tested and contain warning labels 

against the use of soft bedding. 

The CPSC is urged to increase its capacity for screening consumer products for lead content as those products arrive at ports 

of entry, including through the use of innovative technologies that 

enable fast and accurate on-site analysis of lead content. 

ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $17,959,000 for salaries and expenses of the 

Election Assistance Commission (EAC). This amount includes 

$750,000 for the Help America Vote College Program and $300,000 

for mock election programs. Both programs are competitive grant 

programs. 

The use of voting machines in student mock elections should be 

encouraged by the EAC in those jurisdictions that use voting machines. Such use will allow students, the Nation’s voters of tomorrow, to become familiar with voting processes and technologies so 

that when they turn 18, they will be comfortable with their civic 

duties. Groups involved in student mock elections should work with 

local election authorities to promote the use of voting machines by 

students. 

Concerns exist regarding voters who face alternative language 

accessibility challenges, including Latino, Asian American, Pacific 

Islander and Native American and Alaskan Native voters. Such 

challenges have been well documented throughout recent election 

cycles and include both a failure of applicable jurisdictions to meet 

requirements of Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act, and general 

discrimination faced by such voters at polling places. Jurisdictions 

covered under Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act must commit 

the financial resources necessary to meet the requirements of the 

Section and the requirements under Section 301(a)(4) of the Help 

America Vote Act (HAVA). Funding is essential to ensure that 

every eligible voter has an equal opportunity to cast a vote and 

have that vote counted, regardless of English proficiency. States 

should submit plans under HAVA that are consistent with providing sufficient funding levels for alternative language accessibility, and it is noted that states are obligated by statute to comply 

with Section 203 irrespective of the availability of HAVA funding. 

The EAC is directed, in consultation with the Department of Justice, to communicate with states to reiterate the requirements of 

HAVA and the Voting Rights Act and to direct states to revise 

their plans if they are not consistent with alternative language accessibility requirements under law. The EAC is also directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, on how the EAC would develop 

a plan for a thorough assessment of state and local jurisdiction 

funding requirements for alternative language accessibility in jurisdictions covered by Section 203, including (but not limited to): 1) 

the type and quantity of data EAC would need to collect from the 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
979 

jurisdictions; 2) data quality considerations; 3) resources required 

by the EAC for this assessment; and 4) statutory changes for Congress to consider that would better enable the EAC to perform the 

assessment. 

The bill includes a provision (section 625) modifying a deadline 

in HAVA relating to the replacement of punch card or lever voting 

machines. Any state with unused funds provided under section 102 

of HAVA totaling $2,000,000 or more as of the date of enactment 

of this Act must submit a report to the Election Assistance Commission, not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, on the 

expected use of the funds and a timetable for the use of the funds. 

This timetable should specifically describe how the state will expend the funds by November 1, 2010. The EAC shall provide a copy 

of this report to the Committees on Appropriations. Any state receiving funding and failing to expend it within the stated time 

frame risks permanent loss of funding. States should communicate 

regularly with EAC if, and as, problems arise. 

ELECTION REFORM PROGRAMS

The bill provides $106,000,000 for election reform programs. In- cluded in this amount is $100,000,000 for grants to states to help 

them meet HAVA requirements, $5,000,000 for grants relating to 

research on voting technology improvements as authorized by 

HAVA, and $1,000,000 for a pilot program to provide grants to 

states and units of local government to fund pre-election logic and 

accuracy testing of voting systems, as well as post-election voting 

system verification. The EAC is directed to use the $5,000,000 to fund research into 

technological solutions for voting systems that ensure accessibility 

for voters with disabilities so that such voters can vote privately 

and independently, including through the use of official paper ballots. Technological solutions developed through this Federally-funded research should be non-proprietary and be made available to the 

public, including to voting system manufacturers. The EAC is also 

directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations, within 120 

days of enactment of this Act, on a plan for the award of these 

grants, including criteria used to evaluate grant applications and 

the expected timing of grant awards. Within the $5,000,000 provided, the EAC is expected to reimburse the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology for review and monitoring activities related to this program. 

Pre-election logic and accuracy testing will help to ensure that 

voting system equipment, including tabulation equipment, to be 

used in an upcoming election is properly prepared to support the 

election. Post-election voting system verification will assess the 

adequacy of controls in place prior to and during the election that 

can detect and correct, or prevent, anomalies from occurring in voting systems. The EAC is directed to report to the Committees on 

Appropriations, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, on a plan 

for the award of grants under this pilot program, including criteria 

used to evaluate grant applications and the expected timing of 

grant awards. The EAC shall also report to the Committees on Appropriations no later than March 30, 2010 for 2009 grants, and 

March 30, 2011 for 2010 grants, on the results of the pilot program.

These reports shall include recommendations regarding future actions or funding in relation to logic and accuracy testing and postelection audits. 

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $341,875,000 for salaries and expenses of the 

Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is to be derived 

from offsetting collections. 

The amount includes $3,000,000 for a competitive grant program 

for state broadband data and development. Recipients shall be nonprofit entities, contribute non-Federal matching funds of not less 

than 20 percent, and demonstrate the capability to work with state 

agencies and private sector partners. Funding shall be used to establish local technology planning teams, create programs to improve computer ownership and Internet access for unserved and 

underserved populations, and create a geographic inventory map of 

broadband service to identify gaps in such service at the census 

block level. 

The bill includes a $25,480,000 transfer from the Universal Service Fund (USF) for additional audits and oversight activities. Audits should focus on all USF programs, including the high cost program, schools and libraries program, and the rural health care program. The FCC’s Inspector General (IG) has reported that the 

schools and libraries program has a payment error rate of 13 percent, the high cost program has a payment error rate of 16.6 percent, and the rural health care program has a payment error rate 

of 20 percent, far exceeding the government-wide average payment 

error rate of 3 percent and the 2.5 percent threshold that the Office 

of Management and Budget sets for a program to be ‘‘at-risk.’’ The 

FCC is directed to follow the recommendations of both the IG and 

the Government Accountability Office and to assume greater managerial control over these important programs, including improvement of the improper payment rates. In addition, the FCC and the 

IG are expected to have appropriate auditing standards and plans 

in place to ensure consistency in USF auditing. This shall include 

ensuring that auditors are knowledgeable of the USF program 

rules and industry standard auditing protocols. 

The bill includes funding to support the FCC’s continued efforts 

to facilitate the nationwide transition of broadcast television signals from analog to digital. Concerns remain that many viewers 

may not be adequately prepared for the transition. This is particularly true with respect to disadvantaged and lower-income communities, including Hispanic, African American, disabled, and senior 

citizen communities. The FCC is directed to continue collaborating 

with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, other government agencies, and in particular broadcasters 

and other private sector entities involved in the effort to ensure a 

smooth transition. 

It is important to provide all persons living under the American 

flag, including those living in the United States territories, equal 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
981 

access to communications services. The Communications Act of 

1934 established the FCC to ‘‘make available, so far as possible, to 

all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the 

basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, a rapid, efficient, Nation-wide, and world-wide wire and radio communication 

service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges’’ (emphasis 

added). All communication services should be equally available to 

persons living under the American flag outside of the contiguous 48 

states. Satellite radio services, for example, are currently unavailable or have limited availability in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa, Alaska, and Hawaii. The FCC 

is strongly encouraged to consider equal access for persons living 

in these locations as it undertakes rulemakings and other actions 

that affect communications access. 

The FCC is directed to improve its responsiveness to congressional requests and inquiries, including letters. Responses to letters 

to the FCC from the Committees on Appropriations have sometimes taken months to receive. For example, the FCC took over 

four months to respond to a 2007 letter from the Chairman of the 

House Financial Services Appropriations subcommittee regarding 

the communications access concerns described above. A letter from 

the Ranking Republican Member of the Senate Financial Services 

Appropriations subcommittee sent in April 2008 has not been responded to as of mid-January 2009. Another April 2008 letter from 

House Members on universal service funding for insular areas had 

also not been responded to as of mid-January 2009. Such delays 

are unacceptable. 

The 9/11 Commission identified the need to increase the assignment of spectrum for first responders in its July 2004 report, and 

it is disappointing that the Federal Government has yet to address 

this critical need. The FCC is directed to work expeditiously to conduct a successful auction of the D Block spectrum so that first responders have an interoperable communications network. 

Public, educational, and governmental (PEG) programming 

serves the public interest by providing outlets for free speech, local 

information and opinions, and emergency communications. The 

FCC is urged to ensure that PEG channels remain on the basic 

service tier of programming and that cable service providers do not 

place impediments in the way of the public’s access to PEG programming. 

The FCC is directed to issue a report to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations, the House Committee on Energy 

and Commerce, and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, 

and Transportation within 180 days of enactment of this Act on 

commercial proposals for broadcasting radio or television programs 

for reception onboard specially-equipped school buses operated by, 

or under contract with, local public educational agencies. The study 

shall examine the nature of the material proposed to be broadcast 

and whether it is age appropriate for the passengers; the amount 

and nature of commercial advertising to be broadcast; and whether 

such broadcasts for reception by public school buses are in the public interest. 

Concerns exist that emergency personnel and first responders 

along the northern border have had difficulty securing licenses for 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
982 

the appropriate communications frequency from the FCC. The FCC 

is directed to work with Canadian officials and applicants to devise 

a strategy for ensuring that licensing along the northern border 

proceeds without delay. The FCC is also directed to issue a report, 

in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 270 

days after enactment of this Act that: 1) evaluates the Federal 

guidance provided to states working to establish interoperable first 

responder communications networks, 2) describes the degree to 

which the guidance is coordinated with the Canadian Government, 

and 3) identifies methods to avoid future coordination problems. 

The Committees on Appropriations applaud the Commission’s 

work with the broadcasting industry to develop family-friendly programming and direct the Commission to pursue these efforts. As a 

result of the Commission’s efforts, many cable and satellite television operators are developing family-friendly packages for consumers. The Committees direct the Commission to continue its endeavors with the broadcast industry to empower parents with the 

resources and tools to effectively navigate the various broadcast 

channels. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Section 501 extends an exemption for the Universal Service 

Fund. 

Section 502 prohibits the Federal Communications Commission 

from changing rules governing the Universal Service Fund regarding single connection or primary line restrictions. 

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The bill includes a transfer of $27,495,000 to fund the Office of 

Inspector General (OIG) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The OIG’s appropriations are derived from the Deposit Insurance Fund; however, if the OIG performed work in connection with 

the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation Resolution 

Fund, the cost of such work would be derived from that Fund. 

Enacted October 14, 2008, the Inspector General Reform Act of 

2008 contains various requirements affecting the OIG and its operations, including the budgetary process. The requirements of the 

Act will be implemented as appropriate. 

FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $63,618,000 for salaries and expenses of the 

Federal Election Commission (FEC). 

The FEC is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, no later than 270 days following enactment 

of this Act, on an assessment of the feasibility, including estimates 

of cost, time, and personnel required, to gather and make public 

data regarding the media expenditures of Federal campaigns.

983 

FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTHORITY

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $22,674,000 for salaries and expenses of the 

Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA). 

The FLRA is directed to issue a report to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations, within 90 days of enactment of this 

Act, on all activities, including cost, that the FLRA has taken in 

the previous 24-month period regarding the integration and upgrade of information technology systems. 

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $259,200,000 for salaries and expenses of the 

Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The bill also estimates that the 

amount provided will be partially offset by $168,000,000 of collections from Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger filing fees and $21,000,000 

of collections from Do-Not-Call list fees. 

The appropriation provides the FTC with additional resources for 

consumer protection activities, including subprime lending and 

other financial services investigations, as well as activities to fight 

spam, spyware, and Internet fraud and deception. The FTC can do 

more to investigate, challenge, and take enforcement actions 

against mortgage brokers, lenders, and loan servicers who engage 

in deceptive or unfair marketing practices or fraudulent financial 

practices directed at subprime borrowers. Such practices have exacerbated the mortgage crisis by taking advantage of the most vulnerable borrowers, and the FTC needs to be aggressive in fighting 

this serious problem. 

The FTC is also encouraged to expand its enforcement and education activities particularly with respect to consumer protections 

for Hispanic, African American, disabled, and senior citizen populations. For example, the FTC has an aggressive campaign against 

consumer fraud in the Hispanic community. As recent immigrants, 

many Hispanics are unaware of the fraudulent practices perpetrated by some businesses and individuals against consumers. 

Consequently, many fall prey to such predators and suffer great financial losses. They may also be unaware of the remedies that are 

available to them if they are victimized. The FTC should continue 

to promote increased awareness through its Hispanic Outreach initiative, and it should work with all at-risk populations to ensure 

the highest possible level of consumer protection. 

The dramatic fluctuations in fuel prices raise serious concerns 

about market manipulation and anticompetitive behavior in the oil 

and natural gas industries. The FTC is encouraged to continue its 

investigations and other activities relating to these concerns. The 

FTC is directed to keep the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations apprised of findings made regarding fuel prices, as 

well as other planned activities and investigations regarding the oil 

and gas industries. 

The FTC, together with the Commissioner of the Food and Drug 

Administration, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, and the Secretary of Agriculture, who have expertise 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
984 

and experience in child nutrition, child health, psychology, education, marketing, and other fields relevant to food and beverage 

marketing and child nutrition standards shall establish the Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children (Working 

Group). The Working Group is directed to conduct a study and develop recommendations for standards for the marketing of food 

when such marketing targets children who are 17 years old or 

younger or when such food represents a significant component of 

the diets of children. In developing such standards, the Working 

Group is directed to consider (1) positive and negative contributions 

of nutrients, ingredients, and food (including calories, portion size, 

saturated fat, trans fat, sodium, added sugars, and the presence of 

nutrients, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) to the diets of such 

children; and (2) evidence concerning the role of consumption of nutrients, ingredients, and foods in preventing or promoting the development of obesity among such children. The Working Group will 

determine the scope of the media to which such standards should 

apply. The Working Group shall submit to Congress, not later than 

July 15, 2010, a report containing the findings and recommendations of the Working Group. 

In September of 2000, the FTC released a report entitled: ‘‘Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children: A Review of Self-Regulation and Industry Practices in the Motion Picture, Music Recording 

& Electronic Game Industries.’’ The report was highly critical of 

the entertainment industry and its persistent and calculated marketing of violent games, movies, and music to children. In response 

to this report, the entertainment industry has promised to impose 

tougher regulations on itself and to voluntarily comply with the report’s recommendation. The FTC should continue with, and expand 

upon, its efforts in this area. The FTC is directed to continue to engage in consumer research and workshops, underage shopper-retail 

compliance surveys, and marketing data collection. 

Concerns have been raised regarding reports of explicit content 

that can be easily accessed by minors on increasingly popular virtual reality web programs. The FTC is directed to issue a consumer 

alert to educate parents on the content that is available to children 

on virtual reality web programs. In addition, no later than nine 

months after enactment of this Act, the FTC shall submit a report 

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations discussing 

the types of content on virtual reality sites and what steps, if any, 

these sites take to prevent minors from accessing content. 

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

The General Services Administration (GSA) is directed to consider adoption of a formaldehyde standard consistent with the EPA 

standard in its ‘‘green building’’ certification and indoor air quality 

program and to specify formaldehyde-free building materials when 

constructing new or renovating existing Federal buildings. 

GSA is directed to promote energy efficiency through the use of 

revolving doors and report on its program 120 days after enactment 

of this Act. 

GSA is expected to undertake a stronger effort to promote the 

use of stairs in Federal buildings. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
985 

GSA is encouraged to consider deploying re-usable plastic crates 

widely due to their environmental benefits in order to maximize resource conservation. 

The importance of the Ambassador Bridge continues to be recognized as a critical link to commerce between the United States and 

Canada. GSA is commended for leading the efforts of the Executive 

Branch in improving direct highway access to the Ambassador 

Bridge. 

GSA shall conduct a study of the measurable benefits and challenges associated with green roofs in GSA’s owned and leased inventory, using the National Capital Region as an example. 

GSA should consider using historic preservation funding and 

other resources to ensure that the Custom House in New Orleans 

can be remodeled and used productively in a timely manner by 

Federal and non-profit tenants as well as the community. 

GSA is urged to reconsider the impact of Federal per diem rates 

upon the larger recovery efforts of New Orleans and to take steps 

to maintain or increase the per diem rate for fiscal year 2010, if 

appropriate.

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $3,750,000 for the Morris K. Udall Scholarship 

and Excellence in National Environmental Policy Trust Fund. Up 

to 60 percent of these funds may be transferred, and $50,000 shall 

be used to conduct financial audits. 

ENVIRONMENTAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION FUND

The bill includes $2,100,000 for the Environmental Dispute Resolution Fund to remain available until expended. 

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

OPERATING EXPENSES

The bill includes $330,308,000 for operating expenses of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The fiscal 

year 2008 Appropriations Act included funding for an increase in 

archivist staff, and these additional staff will continue to be funded 

in fiscal year 2009 within this appropriation. In addition, this bill 

includes $875,000 to provide a further increase in the number of 

archivist staff, in order to continue to reverse the staffing reductions that had occurred between fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 

2007. NARA is directed to report to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, as 

to the specific steps it is taking to continue to restore NARA’s archivist workforce levels. 

Also included in the amount is $1,000,000 for NARA’s new Office 

of Government Information Services. The Administration had proposed, in its fiscal year 2009 budget request, to fund this office at 

the Department of Justice. This bill funds the office at NARA, as 

authorized by the OPEN Government Act of 2007 (Public Law 110– 

175). 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
989 

In addition, of the amount provided, $650,000, available until 

September 30, 2010, is directed to be used to complete the review 

of U.S. Government documents pertaining to the activities of the 

Nazis and the Japanese Imperial Government. These documents 

are being declassified pursuant to the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure 

Act of 1998 (Public Law 105–246) and the Japanese Imperial Government Disclosure Act of 2000 (Public Law 106–567). These laws 

directed that Government agencies ensure the declassification of 

files pertaining to the activities of the Nazis and the Japanese Imperial Government. In 2007, following the declassification and review of thousands of files containing newly-disclosed information 

about the Nazis and the Japanese Imperial Government, NARA 

issued a report summarizing the new historical insights gained as 

a result of the NARA-supervised review of these documents. However, a number of additional U.S. Army and CIA/OSS documents 

were discovered too late in the process to be included in NARA’s 

2007 report. This funding is directed to be used to report separately on these remaining documents. NARA is directed to report 

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 90 

days of enactment of this Act, with a proposed schedule for completing the review and historical analysis of these documents and 

releasing a supplemental report, to serve as a companion to 

NARA’s 2007 report. 

ELECTRONIC RECORDS ARCHIVES

The bill provides $67,008,000 for the Electronic Records Archives 

(ERA) project. The bill also retains the directive requiring NARA 

to submit, and for the Committees on Appropriations to approve, 

a GAO-reviewed spending plan for ERA prior to the obligation of 

funds. 

Although there is some evidence of improvement in the ERA program, the Appropriations Committees continue to be concerned 

about the program, NARA’s oversight of the program, and the reliability of the work of the ERA contractor, especially given the previous cost overrun, widespread replacement of contractor staff, and 

nine month delay in achievement of Initial Operating Capability. 

In order to overcome the schedule delays that occurred in 2007 and 

2008, and to prepare NARA to receive the electronic records of the 

outgoing Administration in time for the January 20, 2009 change 

in Administrations, NARA and the contractor have had to develop 

a two-pronged development strategy, focusing on building a base 

ERA system, plus a second system devoted to receiving the Executive Office of the President electronic records of the outgoing Administration. 

NARA is directed to provide quarterly ERA progress reports, beginning no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, to both 

GAO and to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, 

and to immediately report to the Committees and to GAO any potential delays, cost overruns, or other problems associated with 

ERA development. As recommended by GAO, the quarterly 

progress reports should include summary measures of project performance against ERA cost and schedule estimates.

REPAIRS AND RESTORATION

The bill provides $50,711,000 for repairs and restoration. This 

amount includes: (1) $17,500,000 for necessary expenses related to 

the repair and renovation of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential 

Library and Museum in Hyde Park, NY, which NARA has listed 

as its top capital improvement priority; (2) $22,000,000 to complete 

construction of an addition to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, MA; and (3) $2,000,000 to complete the repair and 

restoration of the plaza that surrounds the Lyndon Baines Johnson 

Presidential Library in Austin, TX. 

The Appropriations Committees recognize that they have more 

than adequately provided funding for NARA’s portion of the LBJ 

Presidential Library plaza project; therefore, the Library and the 

university are on notice not to return to the Committees for any 

further funding for this project. 

NATIONAL HISTORICAL PUBLICATIONS AND RECORDS COMMISSION

GRANTS PROGRAM

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill includes $11,250,000 for NARA’s grant program. Of the 

amount provided, $2,000,000 is to be transferred to the operating 

expenses account. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION—NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

The bill includes an administrative provision directing NARA to 

include in its annual budget submission each year a comprehensive 

capital needs assessment for its entire infrastructure of presidential libraries and records facilities. Funding should be included 

in each year’s budget to address the highest priorities, including 

projects already underway. 

NATIONAL CREDIT UNION ADMINISTRATION

CENTRAL LIQUIDITY FACILITY

The bill provides the National Credit Union Administration 

(NCUA)—Central Liquidity Facility (CLF) the ability to lend, during fiscal year 2009, up to the maximum level provided for by section 307(a)(4)(A) of the Federal Credit Union Act. This provision 

gives the NCUA flexibility to assist with credit unions’ financial liquidity during the current economic downturn. The NCUA will be 

expected to keep the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations fully informed on the activities of the CLF. 

The bill also provides a limitation of $1,250,000 for the administrative expenses of the CLF.

and $1,351,000 for the Human Resources Line of Business project. 

The bill also provides $118,082,000 for administrative expenses 

to be transferred from the appropriate trust funds. This amount includes $15,200,000, to remain available until expended, for retirement systems modernization, or the RetireEZ program. Work on 

RetireEZ’s calculation engine was halted in 2008 due to contract 

performance issues. Getting this program back on track with appropriate management leadership, controls, and oversight, and 

with the goal of ensuring accurate and timely computation of annuities for all Federal retirees, is a high priority. The executive leadership of OPM must dedicate the highest level of support possible 

to ensure the success of the program. While the prompt implementation of this program is also important, the leadership is cautioned 

not to set an unworkable timetable as a goal to the detriment of 

system accuracy and performance. The Government Accountability 

Office should continue to assess the status of OPM’s efforts toward 

developing and implementing RetireEZ, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of the agency’s management for the modernization initiative. OPM should continue to provide the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations with quarterly reports on the implementation of RetireEZ. These reports should reflect a detailed, 

complete, and accurate assessment of the status of the program. 

OPM’s Federal Human Capital Survey provides important data 

for independent analyses of Federal employee satisfaction. OPM 

shall continue to make agencies’ survey data publicly available in 

a consistent and consolidated format, and in a timely manner. 

Sixty percent of the Federal workforce will be eligible to retire 

in the next 10 years, presenting an enormous challenge to the Federal Government and the delivery of services to the public. OPM 

is encouraged to develop approaches that agencies can use to attract the best and brightest talent; match employee skills and abilities with specific agency missions and goals; ensure that talented 

employees are engaged and empowered to use their talent; improve 

leadership development; and ensure high performance from the 

workforce. 

OPM is urged to increase its efforts to encourage Federal agencies to reach out to diverse populations, including ethnic minorities, 

in their recruitment efforts. A study group relating to the employment of Hispanics in the Federal Government has been formed by 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
992 

the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Social Security Administration, with representation from other agencies. 

OPM should review the findings of this study group for possible approaches to improve Hispanic recruitment, retention, and advancement government-wide. 

Federal agencies should also increase recruitment efforts within 

the United States territories. The territories are home to thousands 

of U.S. citizens who may not be fully aware of the employment opportunities that exist within the Federal Government. Some agencies have taken steps to recruit from the territories, but others 

have not yet. OPM should spearhead the effort to encourage individual agency human resource offices to take advantage of the talent pool that exists in the U.S. territories. 

OPM has improved communication with Federal agencies about 

dependent care programs. Many of OPM’s plans to improve communications on employee benefits should be ongoing activities. No 

later than 45 days after enactment of this Act, OPM shall report 

to the Committees on Appropriations timelines for activities, and 

the feasibility of whether some of these activities should be annual 

activities. Included in the report should be timelines relating to the 

expansion of the Open Season marketing campaign; targeting agencies with low enrollment; outreach to affinity groups; tuition assistance advertising; and OPM website improvements. 

OPM, as the personnel agency for the Federal Government, 

should be committed to helping the Federal Government become 

the model employer Congress and the law mandate that it be, with 

regard to individuals with disabilities. Disability employment 

issues have been given inadequate attention at OPM over the past 

several years, resulting in a need for increased focus and action. 

This is particularly disappointing given that 60 percent of the Federal workforce will be eligible for retirement within 10 years and 

the increased hiring of disabled employees could help mitigate this 

retirement wave. OPM is directed to review outstanding disability 

concerns brought to OPM’s attention, conduct outreach with disability groups about these concerns, take steps to improve matters, 

and advise the Committees on Appropriations as improvements are 

achieved. 

OPM is directed to carry out the Intergovernmental Personnel 

Act Mobility Program with special attention provided to Federal 

agencies employing more than 2,000 nurses. OPM may develop 

guidelines that provide Federal agencies direction or guidance in 

using their authority under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act 

Mobility Program to provide financial or other assistance: (1) to 

Federal employees holding a degree in nursing to accept an assignment to teach in an accredited school of nursing or to obtain the 

training necessary to become a nurse faculty member in exchange 

for a commitment from the individual to serve an additional term 

of Federal service or a commitment from the school of nursing to 

take additional steps to increase its number of nursing students 

that will commit to Federal service upon graduation; and (2) to 

Federal employees who have served as a nurse in the Federal Government, are eligible for retirement, and are qualified to teach to 

expedite the transition of such individuals into nurse faculty positions. OPM is directed to report to the Committees on AppropriaVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 00986 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
993 

tions no later than 120 days after enactment of this Act on how the 

Intergovernmental Personnel Act Mobility Program is being used to 

alleviate the nursing shortage and on the demonstrable steps OPM 

has taken to encourage government-employed nurses to teach at 

accredited schools of nursing. 

OPM is encouraged to report on employment for the blind, including the opinions of Federal employee labor organizations, by 

July 15, 2009. 

Concerns have been raised with respect to wage pay for Federal 

employees who work within the New Orleans, Louisiana Appropriated Fund Federal Wage System (FWS) area. OPM has authority to waive the cap on such pay if it determines that an exception 

is necessary to ensure the recruitment or retention of qualified employees. Existing OPM regulations specify the procedures which 

should be followed by Federal agencies to request such a waiver. 

In view of the continuing effects caused by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the New Orleans area, the Department of Defense 

(DoD), as the lead FWS employer in the region, is strongly urged 

to promptly submit a consolidated waiver request to OPM consistent with existing regulations, and OPM is likewise urged to act 

swiftly on any such request, to include promptly notifying the Committees on Appropriations of its determination. DoD is further 

urged to consult with OPM prior to making such a request to ensure that the approval process does not become overly bureaucratic 

or complicated by unnecessary paperwork, thus delaying the ability 

to promptly address recruitment and retention challenges in the 

New Orleans area. 

Approximately 10,000 private sector employers, including more 

than half of the Fortune 500 companies, offer benefits to the domestic partners of their employees. OPM should consider taking 

steps to extend health care benefits to Federal employees’ domestic 

partners.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The bill includes $14,043,000 for the Postal Regulatory Commission. 

PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES OVERSIGHT BOARD

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $1,500,000 for salaries and expenses of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, to remain available for 

obligation until September 30, 2010. The Board has not yet been 

reconstituted as required by Public Law 110–53, and, therefore, the 

new entity’s funding requirements have not been firmly established 

or justified. Once reconstituted, the Board should present the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with a detailed 

budget plan as quickly as possible. 

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $943,000,000 for salaries and expenses of the 

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

An increase of $37,000,000 over the fiscal year 2008 enacted level 

and $30,000,000 over the requested level is provided to support the 

SEC’s performance-based pay system, as well as to enhance enforcement, capital market oversight, and investor protection activities, including investigations of accounting fraud, market manipulation, insider trading, and investment scams that target seniors 

and low-income communities. The SEC should also increase its efforts to improve oversight of investment banking institutions. Additional resources should also be provided to the Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy to expand investor education and financial 

literacy activities. 

With this significant increase in funding comes an increased responsibility on the part of the SEC to aggressively safeguard the 

investing public. Failures to properly investigate and take appropriate actions in fraud cases will not be tolerated. The SEC must 

be vigilant in its enforcement of securities laws. 

Concerns exist that American investors may be unwittingly investing in companies with ties to countries that sponsor terrorism 

or are linked to human rights violations. A company’s association 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
995 

with sponsors of terrorism and human rights abuses, no matter 

how large or small, can have a materially adverse result on a public company’s operations, financial condition, earnings, and stock 

prices, all of which can negatively affect the value of an investment. In order to protect American investors’ savings and to disclose these business relationships to investors, an Office of Global 

Security Risk was established within the Division of Corporation 

Finance. The work of this Office should remain a high priority, and 

the SEC is directed to continue to submit quarterly reports to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the Office’s activities. 

Small businesses have raised concerns with the burden that compliance with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 places 

on them. The SEC is studying the costs and benefits of section 404 

compliance. The SEC shall keep the Committees on Appropriations 

informed of the progress of the study and the results of the study 

when completed. 

The growth of unregulated hedge funds in recent years has impacted systemic risk in the financial markets and has raised investor protection concerns. The SEC is currently evaluating draft rules 

that address the issue of the qualifications of accredited investors 

in hedge funds. The SEC is encouraged to take action on these 

rules consistent with strong investor protections. The SEC is also 

urged to maintain the maximum possible effort in combating fraud 

that may be associated with hedge fund investing. 

SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill includes $22,000,000 for the Selective Service System, 

equal to the President’s budget request and the fiscal year 2008 enacted level. The bill also includes language to allow the President 

to waive provisions of 31 U.S.C. 1341 when it is necessary for the 

interest of national defense. 

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The bill provides $386,896,000 for the salaries and expenses account of the Small Business Administration (SBA). An additional 

amount for initiatives related to small business development and 

entrepreneurship is provided under SBA administrative provisions. 

Of the amounts provided under this heading, $224,608,000 is for 

operating expenses of the SBA. In addition, a total of $147,480,000 

from other SBA accounts may be transferred to and merged with 

the salaries and expenses account, resulting in a total availability 

for operating expenses of $372,088,000. The additional amount consists of $138,480,000 from the Business Loans Program account 

and $9,000,000 (provided as part of Public Law 110–329) from the 

Disaster Loans Program account for the administrative expenses 

related to those accounts. 

Non-Credit Programs.—No less than the following amounts shall 

be dedicated to these non-credit programs of the SBA: 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING

[In thousands of dollars] 

Veterans Programs ................................................................................ $1,200 

7(j) Technical Assistance ....................................................................... 2,380

PRIME .................................................................................................... 5,000 

HUBZone ................................................................................................ 2,150 

Total, non-credit programs ..................................................... 162,288 

The SBA shall not reduce these noncredit programs to fund operating costs. In addition, the National Ombudsman; the Office of Advocacy, including support for the Advocacy Database; international 

trade programs; and the defense transition program should receive 

no less than the fiscal year 2008 level of funding. 

The bill provides $1,200,000 for veterans programs to support additional grants to veterans business outreach centers. When determining the allocation of the additional funding, the SBA is encouraged to consider centers with significant experience in conducting 

outreach to veterans, including those previously receiving Federal 

funding. 

Funds are included within operating expenses to support the 

modernization of SBA’s loan management and accounting systems. 

Current systems, which are outdated and have limited capabilities, 

must be replaced with new systems that will enhance the management of SBA’s $85,000,000,000 loan portfolio. However, there are 

significant risks inherent in such a relatively large acquisition. To 

mitigate risks, SBA should dedicate in-house staff to quality assurance and contractor oversight, as well as to provide for agency-wide 

management, coordination, and implementation of the new system. 

SBA should also continue to consult with other Federal agencies regarding best practices involving design, acquisition, and implementation of new systems and regarding contractor oversight. SBA 

shall submit a quarterly written report to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations summarizing the agency’s progress 

regarding the modernization effort, including milestones planned 

and achieved, and progress on cost and schedule. 

Funds are also included, within the amount provided, for 504 

loan guarantee program liquidation activities and for additional 

oversight of lenders participating in the 7(a) loan guarantee program. SBA should address the Inspector General’s recommendations on the oversight of SBA Supervised Lenders, including the 

hiring of additional lender oversight staff as necessary. 

Within the funds provided under this heading, SBA is directed 

to provide $300,000 to the Office of Advocacy to conduct the study 

on the impact of broadband speed and price on small businesses as 

directed under section 105 of Public Law 110–385. 

The amount provided also includes $2,649,000 over the requested 

amount for the direct funding of SBA’s Business Gateway e-gov initiative. Direct funding for the initiative within SBA will improve 

administrative efficiency by eliminating the need for as many as 80 

funding transfers annually from 21 participating agencies. SBA 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
997 

should budget for direct funding for this initiative within its fiscal 

year 2010 budget request. 

The Committees on Appropriations are aware that there are certain rural areas that are underutilized business areas, but are excluded from HUBZone designation based on the current program 

authorization. SBA is encouraged to continue to examine ways to 

incorporate these areas into any future revisions of the Small Business Act. 

The SBA is encouraged to consider options for donating, or offering at discounted prices, used equipment, including computers, for 

appropriate use by small businesses located in the United States. 

The SBA is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations within 270 days after enactment of this Act on 

potential plans for such donations. 

SBA shall submit a report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations within 270 days of enactment of this Act on the 

Microloan program. The report shall include information regarding 

the number and dollar amount of lending and potential unmet need 

in the program. The report shall also address steps SBA has taken 

to implement recommendations of the 2003 report from the SBA 

Inspector General, particularly regarding the enforcement of reporting requirements in the Microloan program. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The bill provides $16,750,000 for the Office of Inspector General 

of the Small Business Administration. 

The Inspector General is directed to continue routine analysis 

and reporting on SBA’s modernization of its loan management and 

accounting systems, including acquisition, contractor oversight, implementation, and progress regarding budget and schedule. 

SURETY BOND GUARANTEES REVOLVING FUND

The bill provides $2,000,000 for the Surety Bond Guarantees Revolving Fund. 

BUSINESS LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The bill provides $140,980,000 for the Business Loans Program 

Account. The amount includes $2,500,000 for subsidies for the 

Microloan direct loan program. 

The bill also includes $138,480,000, within the total amount appropriated, for administrative expenses related to business loan 

programs. The amount provided for administrative expenses may 

be transferred to and merged with the appropriation for SBA salaries and expenses to cover the common overhead expenses associated with business loans. 

The bill supports up to $17,500,000,000 for the 7(a) business loan 

program, up to $7,500,000,000 for the 504 certified development 

company program, up to $3,000,000,000 for Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) debentures, and up to $12,000,000,000 for 

the Secondary Market Guarantee Program.

UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

PAYMENT TO THE POSTAL SERVICE FUND

The bill includes $111,831,000 for payment to the Postal Service 

Fund, including $29,000,000 for repayment of revenue forgone and 

$82,831,000 for an advance appropriation for fiscal year 2010 to 

continue free mail for the blind and overseas voters. 

The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 required 

the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) to submit a report to 

Congress in December of 2008 on universal postal service and the 

postal monopoly in the United States. The report will also include 

any recommended changes to universal service and the postal monopoly, and analyses of the costs and benefits of providing such 

services under current law. The U.S. Postal Service should keep 

Congress apprised of any actions the Postal Service plans to take 

on the PRC recommendations, including actions, if applicable, relating to five-day delivery service and its impact on fuel consumption. 

The Postal Service should continue its efforts to upgrade postal 

operations and improve customer service in Chicago, and to assess 

service needs, reestablish postal facilities, improve mail delivery, 

and enhance product and service offerings to customers in New Orleans and other Louisiana communities. 

The Postal Service should make every effort to maintain the U.S. 

Post Office in Danville, Virginia, and provide full postal services to 

the citizens of Danville. 

The bill requires the Postal Service to keep the Appropriations 

Committees promptly and regularly informed on its mail treatment 

processes and to consult with the Committees on its future plans 

for securing mail irradiation services, including costs.

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

The following sections describe general provisions for agencies 

covered by this Act, agencies government-wide, and the District of 

Columbia. The Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2008, included several general provisions that were 

made permanent by inclusion of language indicating futurity. As 

noted by the United States Government Accountability Office: 

‘‘A provision contained in an annual appropriation act is not to 

be construed to be permanent legislation unless the language used 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
1009 

therein or the nature of the provision makes it clear that Congress 

intended it to be permanent. The presumption can be overcome if 

the provision uses language indicating futurity or if the provision 

is of a general character bearing no relation to the object of the appropriation. 

In analyzing a particular provision, the starting point in 

ascertaining Congress’s intent is, as it must be, the language of the 

statute. The question to ask is whether the provision uses ‘‘words 

of futurity.’’ The most common word of futurity is ‘‘hereafter’’ and 

provisions using this term have often been construed as permanent.’’ (Principles of Federal Appropriations Law, Third Edition, 

Volume I, page 2–34) 

Several provisions in the 2008 Act included the word ‘‘hereafter’’ 

as an indication of permanence. These provisions include sections 

701 (concerning funds to pay travel for immediate families of employees serving abroad in cases of death or life threatening illness), 

709 (concerning nominees disapproved by the Senate), 716 (concerning workplace discrimination and sexual harassment), and 

737(b) and (c) (concerning E-Government). This statement reiterates that these provisions were made permanent.

Section 607 prohibits funding to a person or entity convicted of 

violating the Buy American Act. 

Section 608 specifies reprogramming procedures for all departments, agencies, and offices funded under this Act unless otherwise 

specified elsewhere in this Act. Reprogramming requirements apply 

to transfers in excess of $5,000,000 or 10 percent, whichever is less. 

Agencies are expected to follow the reprogramming procedures 

even if a reprogramming falls below the $5,000,000 or 10 percent 

threshold if such reprogramming would significantly change an 

agency’s funding requirements in future years, or if programs or 

projects specifically cited in this explanatory statement are affected.

commission funded by this Act, or by their officers or employees, 

of payment or reimbursement for travel, subsistence, or related expenses from any person or entity (or their representative) that engages in activities regulated by such agency or commission. 

Section 618 amends section 7472 of title 26, United States Code, 

relating to life insurance premiums for United States Tax Court 

judges. 

Section 619 provides authority for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) to obligate funds for a scholarship 

program. PCAOB is urged to give consideration to supporting 

scholarships opportunities to students from populations, such as 

ethnic minorities and women, that have been historically underrepresented in the accounting profession.

of funds.

Budget estimate, 2009 .................................................................... +25,367,000 

The detailed allocation of funding by program, activity and subactivity is included in the table at the end of this section of the 

statement. In addition, the bill also includes the following specific 

funding levels and directions: 

Land Resources.—Within the funds provided for soil, water, and air management, there is a program increase of $7,500,000 for 

abandoned mine remediation and inventory in the West. Of this 

amount, a minimum of $6,000,000 is for actions to secure, seal, and 

remediate hazards from known mine openings. An amount up to 

$1,500,000 may be used for discovery and inventory activities. 

Cultural Resources Management.—Within the amounts provided, 

there is an increase of $500,000 to begin implementation of the 

Galisteo Basin Archeological Sites Protection Act of 2004 (NM). 

Wildlife Management.—Within the funds provided there is an additional $4,600,000 for the native plant materials development program. This funding and program has been moved out of the Department’s wildland fire management appropriation account. This 

program should continue previous activities as part of the national 

fire plan working closely with the Forest Service, and develop a 

seed bank of desirable native plant species to be available for use 

in burned area restoration, habitat restoration, and other related 

purposes by all of the Interior land management bureaus. An annual report on the accomplishments and expenditures of the program should be submitted no later than 90 days after the end of 

the fiscal year.

Recreation Resources Management.—Within the amounts provided, there is an increase of $1,000,000 for management of the national scenic and historic trails. 

Energy and Minerals.—The bill continues the same application 

for permits to drill (APD) fee as in fiscal year 2008, $4,000 per 

APD, which is estimated to net $36,400,000 during fiscal year 2009 

to partially offset BLM administrative costs. In addition, the bill 

includes $6,000,000 for Alaska legacy well remediation, no specific 

funds for gas hydrates research or North Slope science, and 

$1,000,000 for oil shale sample shipment and storage in Colorado. 

The discretionary funding total for oil and gas management is 

$79,478,000, which when added to the APD fee receipts, and the 

off-budget pilot offices funds, is a small increase over the total fiscal year 2008 oil and gas management funding. 

Future budget justifications should clearly delineate how the Bureau is complying with section 713 of the Energy Independence and 

Security Act of 2007 dealing with inventories of carbon dioxide sequestration in Federal mineral leaseholds. 

Realty Ownership and Management.—Within the funds provided, 

there is an increase of $750,000 for GIS/cadastral mapping in 

Utah. 

Resource Protection and Law Enforcement.—Within the amounts 

provided, there is an increase of $5,100,000 for drug enforcement 

on public lands. 

Hazardous Materials Management.—Within the amounts provided, there is an increase of $1,000,000 for activities related to 

southwest border problems. 

Challenge Cost Share.—The Bureau should not set aside a specific allocation for the National Landscape Conservation System as 

was proposed in the budget request. 

National Monuments and Conservation Areas.—The bill includes 

the various funding transfers proposed by the Bureau, and an increase of $6,371,000 above the request, for a total of $28,196,000 

for the new National Monuments and Conservation Areas activity. 

Additional National Landscape Conservation System funding is included in the wilderness and recreation activities in this account, 

and in the Oregon and California Grant Lands account. 

Healthy Lands Initiative.—Within the amounts provided there is 

a total of $7,797,000 for the Healthy Lands Initiative, including 

$750,000 in soil, water and air management, $2,586,000 in rangeland management, $150,000 in forestry management, $867,000 in 

riparian management, $2,602,000 in wildlife management, 

$292,000 in fisheries management, and $550,000 in the threatened 

and endangered species activity. 

National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.—The bill includes 

$3,000,000 to continue cost share activities as in the past, including 

$1,917,000 in wildlife management, $246,000 in fisheries management, $246,000 in threatened and endangered species, $345,000 in 

rangeland management, and $246,000 in riparian management.

The bill includes an indefinite appropriation of not less than 

$10,000,000 to be derived from public lands receipts and 

Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act lands grazing receipts. The bill

The detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 

for the National Park Service account is included in the table at 

the end of this section of the statement. The amounts in this bill 

will support 20,923 full time equivalent (FTE) positions throughout 

the National Park Service, an increase of 622 FTE’s over the number funded in 2008. This includes continuation of funding for the 

3,000 new seasonal positions added in fiscal year 2008. Savings in 

personnel and contracting costs of $9,855,000 compared to the request have been realized due to delayed enactment of the 2009 appropriations. In addition, the bill includes the following specific 

funding levels and directions: 

Visitor Services.—Within the amounts provided for visitor services, the bill assumes an increase of $3,300,000 above the amounts 

requested in the President’s budget for the National Park Service 

portion of an expanded law enforcement effort to eradicate drug 

production and related activities on public lands. 

Park Support.—The bill assumes funding of $11,000,000 for the 

National Trail System, and $1,750,000 for the Wild and Scenic Rivers program. 

U.S. Park Police.—The $96,555,000 provided in the bill for the 

U.S. Park Police annual operations budget includes sufficient funding for two additional recruit classes during 2009. In addition the 

bill includes the $2,000,000 for security costs associated with the 

2009 Presidential Inauguration. 

Gettysburg National Military Park (NMP).—$200,000 is provided 

to continue the restoration of historic battlefield landscaping at 

Gettysburg NMP.

National Mall Concerts.—The bill includes funding to continue 

support for the National Mall concerts program at the fiscal year 

2008 level. 

Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) and Public Lands Corps 

(PLC).—The bill includes not less than $3,000,000 of funding in 

this account for projects to be carried out by the YCC program and 

not less than $3,000,000 for projects carried out by the PLC. The 

Committees on Appropriations are fully supportive of these partnership programs, as well as similar partnership arrangements 

with the Student Conservation Association, and encourages expansion of these programs in 2009. 

Special Resource Studies.—The bill includes sufficient funding to 

carry out all special resource studies authorized by law during the 

110th and previous Congresses. 

Harpers Ferry NHP.—The Committees on Appropriations appreciate the Service’s efforts to commemorate the 150th anniversary of 

John Brown’s raid on the arsenal at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, and authorize the use of up to $300,000 to defray the 

costs of the extensive events that will surround the anniversary. 

Traditional and Folk Arts Heritage Programs.—The bill includes 

funding to continue National Park Service support of traditional 

and folk arts programs at parks whose mission includes preservation of these heritage traditions. The Committees are fully supportive of this important partnership program and encourage the 

National Park Service to expand its support of these programs in 

fiscal year 2009. 

Haleakala National Park.—The Committees on Appropriations 

are aware and supportive of the potential development of an Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) within the Haleakala 

High Altitude Observatories site at the summit of Haleakala, Maui, 

Hawaii. As the proposed ATST construction site can only be 

accessed via a road through the Haleakala National Park, the 

Service is expected to work cooperatively with the National Science 

Foundation to effectuate the issuance of a Special Use Permit as 

soon as possible. In turn, the Foundation is expected to complete 

its analysis on the effects to service standards in a timely fashion 

so that the Service can fully comply with all procedural requirements, with a goal of completing the permitting process within 150 

days of enactment of this Act.

quested to begin an inventory of historic properties requested in 

the President’s budget. 

Heritage Partnerships Program.—The bill includes $15,702,000 

for the heritage partnerships program. This amount will fund all 

heritage partnerships authorized during the 110th Congress. Partnerships which received funding in fiscal year 2008 will be funded 

at the same level as they received last year. In addition, the bill 

provides $148,000 of planning funds for each of three newly authorized heritage partnerships. The House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations are concerned that the number of authorized heritage partnership programs has expanded rapidly in recent years 

and many more proposals are pending action by the authorizing 

committees. The Committees are in agreement that the amount of 

funding available for this program is limited; and that expanded 

funding for new heritage areas should be funded principally by savings which occur when mature programs are graduated from Federal support. The National Park Service is directed to develop new 

guidelines for this program which require self-sufficiency plans for 

all heritage areas within a reasonable period of time. The adoption 

of a credible self-sufficiency plan, or satisfactory work towards development of such a plan, should be a condition of continued funding for all plans after fiscal year 2009.

Everglades.—The bill includes $60,000,000 for the Modified 

Water Deliveries Project at Everglades National Park. This includes $50,000,000 requested in the President’s Budget for the 

Corps of Engineers. This funding level will allow construction of 

the first Tamiami Trail bridge to proceed expeditiously. The House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations recognize, however, that 

this bridge is just a first step. As the next step in this critical restoration effort, the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the National Park Service, is directed to immediately evaluate the feasibility of additional bridge length, including a continuous bridge, or 

additional bridges or some combination thereof, for the Tamiami 

Trail (U.S. Highway 41) to restore more natural water flow to Everglades National Park and Florida Bay. The feasibility study and 

the recommendation of the Secretary should be submitted to the 

Congress no later than 12 months from the date of enactment of 

this Act. Language is included in the bill directing that this study 

be completed.

The detailed allocation of funding by program, activity and subactivity is included in the table at the end of this section of the 

statement. The bill includes the proposed global change research 

technical adjustments which move funds from several activities 

into the global change activity. The proposed reductions for travel 

are not included for any activity. In addition, the bill also includes 

the following specific funding levels and directions: 

Geographic Research and Remote Sensing.—The bill includes 

$1,000,000 for the national cooperative geographic information system mapping program but does not include the funding increase requested for the national land imaging program. The bill includes 

the requested reduction for geographic research and the transfer of 

priority ecosystems science funding to biological research. The bill 

fully funds the budget request of $24,150,000 for the Landsat Data 

Continuity Mission and $16,000,000 to continue the Landsat 5/7 

program. Satellite development and launch costs associated with 

future US Geological Survey (USGS) land remote sensing operations should not be transferred from the National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA) to the Department of the Interior 

(DOI). These are functions that are not a component of current 

DOI operations but clearly fall within NASA’s jurisdiction. Until a 

new plan for future land imaging and remote sensing coordination 

is drawn up that evaluates how satellite development, launch and 

operations should be funded, DOI should not undertake any action 

that attempts to assume the funding responsibilities that have traditionally been a part of the NASA budget. 

Geologic Hazards Assessments.—The bill includes $3,000,000 for 

the earthquakes portion of the multi-hazards initiative and 

$500,000 for the one-time costs of seismological equipment at the 

Arkansas Seismological Observatory, but the requested reduction 

for earthquake grants is not included. There is a general increase 

of $2,000,000 for volcano hazards research. The Survey should 

evaluate ongoing needs for important volcano research and monitoring in active areas, such as Hawaii, Yellowstone, the Cascades 

and Alaska, where the USGS maintains observatories. The bill also 

includes a $1,500,000 increase for the global seismographic network. 

Geologic Landscapes and Coastal Assessments.—The bill does not 

include the funds requested for the water census. The Administration should revisit that issue and consider resubmitting a more integrated program request in the next budget cycle. The bill moves 

funds for priority ecosystems science from earth surface dynamics 

to biological research as requested, and provides $750,000 for Great 

Lakes region geological mapping within the National cooperative 

geologic mapping subactivity. The bill includes $3,000,000 for extended continental shelf mapping in the Arctic Ocean, a total of 

$1,000,000 for the ocean action plan coastal geology effort, and 

$500,000 for California sea floor mapping. 

Geologic Resources Assessments.—The bill provides the fiscal year 

2008 funding level for the minerals resources activities and assessments and includes $650,000 to initiate a minerals resource assessVerDate Nov 24 2008 04:13 Mar 27, 2009 Jkt 047494 PO 00000 Frm 01108 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A494P1.XXX A494P1

ment of federal lands in Nye County, Nevada, in collaboration with 

the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the Nevada Bureau of 

Mines and Geology. The Survey’s April 2008 petroleum resource assessment of the Bakken Formation was an important benchmark 

to further our nation’s energy security. The Survey is strongly encouraged to expedite its efforts to conduct further applicable assessments or make additional data publicly available that can demonstrate the full range of energy resources in the stratigraphic sequences surrounding the Bakken Formation. 

Ground Water Resources.—The bill does not provide funding for 

the Water for America initiative but it does include a $500,000 general increase and $900,000 for San Diego, CA, aquifer mapping. Although funding is not provided for new aspects of the Water for 

America initiative, the importance of this work is recognized and 

future budgets should consider a more integrated program request 

for this work. 

National Water Quality Assessment.—The bill does not include 

the large reduction requested for this vital program. 

Toxic Substances Hydrology.—As requested, the bill transfers 

funds for priority ecosystems science to the biological research program. In disagreement with the budget request, the bill continues 

funding for amphibian research and monitoring but moves that 

amount to biological research where the work will be accomplished. 

Hydrologic Research & Development.—The bill provides $270,000 

to continue the Hood Canal, WA dissolved oxygen study, $295,000 

to maintain the San Pedro River partnership, AZ, $400,000 for the 

Long Term Estuary Assessment Group, LA, and $500,000 to continue work pursuant to the US-Mexico Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Act. 

National Streamflow Information Program.—The bill does not include funds for the Water for America initiative but does include 

a general increase of $2,000,000 for the stream gage program. 

Hydrologic Networks and Analysis.—The bill maintains the fiscal 

year 2008 funding level for the ocean action plan in this subactivity, provides $497,000 to continue the Lake Champlain basin 

toxic materials study and $500,000 to maintain Hawaii water resources monitoring activities. The Survey is encouraged to evaluate 

the need for selenium studies in Colorado and, to the extent possible, incorporate that work into other ongoing hydrologic research 

in the area. 

Biological Research.—The bill includes the following: a total of 

$750,000 for the Healthy Lands Initiative; the requested funds for 

priority ecosystems science; the fiscal year 2008 level for Pacific 

Northwest forest biology; $650,000 for contaminant and endocrine 

biology research; $200,000 for the science excellence program with 

the Fish and Wildlife Service; $500,000 to maintain the San Francisco, CA salt ponds restoration science; $800,000 to maintain the 

Leetown, WV molecular biology effort; $750,000 to maintain amphibian research and monitoring; a $1,000,000 increase for Great 

Lakes biological sciences; and a total of $5,000,000 for National Biological Information Infrastructure. The Survey is encouraged to 

provide full support for the southern sea otter science and monitoring effort.

Facilities.—The bill provides the budget request, plus an addi- tional $4,000,000 for the deferred maintenance and capital improvement activity to continue the on-going project begun last year. 

Global Climate Change Research.—The bill includes all of the internal funding transfers recommended by the Survey in order to establish this new budget activity, and an increase of $14,045,000 

above the total request. Within the amounts provided, $10,000,000 

is for the National Global Warming and Wildlife Science Center 

and at least $3,000,000 is to implement required geological and biological carbon sequestration studies as required by sections 711, 

712 and 714 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. 

The National Global Warming and Wildlife Science Center fund- ing includes $2,500,000 to complete establishment of the Center. 

Additionally, the funding allows the Center to develop mechanisms 

that will ensure that it is responsive to the research and management needs of Federal and State agencies regarding the impacts of 

global warming on fish, wildlife, plants and ecological processes 

and the mechanisms for adaptation to, mitigation of, or prevention 

of those impacts. The recommendation also includes $7,500,000 for 

the Center to fund research projects, including use of external and 

independent scientific peer review, to address the needs of resource 

management agencies and the American public through greatly accelerated global warming research and through development of decision support tools. 

The Secretary, with the assistance of the USGS National Climate 

Change and Wildlife Science Center and a science advisory board, 

including members recommended by the National Academy of 

Sciences, should initiate development of a national strategy to assist fish, wildlife, plants, and associated ecological processes in becoming more resilient, adapting to, and surviving the impacts of 

climate change. In developing this national framework for flora and 

fauna conservation in a changing climate, the Secretary should consult with other Federal agencies, State fish, wildlife and conservation data agencies, Territories, Tribes, scientists, and stakeholders, 

and the Secretary should provide the public with notice and opportunity for comment.

The detailed allocation of funding by program and activity is included in the table at the end of this section of the statement. The 

bill includes funding for wildfire suppression at the ten-year average suppression cost. The bill does not provide the requested decreases for the preparedness program; the increased funds for preparedness are for fixed costs. Burned area rehabilitation funding 

has been reduced by $4,600,000 because the Native Plant Materials 

Development Program has been moved to the BLM. 

The Department and the Forest Service must work together, 

along with State and other partners, to maintain sufficient readiness with the preparedness program. The Department should do its 

utmost to maintain wildfire suppression capability at least at the 

same levels as in fiscal years 2007 and 2008. The Department 

should immediately notify the Committees on Appropriations if it 

appears that funding shortfalls may limit needed firefighting capacity. 

It is imperative that both departments expedite deployment of 

the fire program analysis system in order to justify further investment beyond the current fiscal year. 

The Department of the Interior and the Forest Service should 

continue reports required by the Committees on Appropriations 

previously and examine, using independent panels, any individual

Categorical Grants.—The bill provides $1,094,855,000, which is $58,648,000 above the request, adjusted to reflect the Underground 

Storage Tank Program’s movement to the LUST account. Within 

this program area, the bill includes: 

Climate Change Initiative Grants for Local Communities.—The 

Bill includes $10,000,000 for the Office of Air and Radiation to initiate a new, competitive grant program to assist local communities 

in establishing and implementing their own climate change initiatives. The goal of this program is to implement programs, projects 

and approaches, which demonstrate documentable reductions in 

greenhouse gases and are replicable elsewhere. The Agency is directed to follow these guidelines to implement this Program: (1) 

grants are to be awarded on a competitive basis; (2) they are to be 

one-time grants only; (3) grantees, other than tribes, are required 

to provide a 50 percent match for the Federal funds; (4) local, county, municipal and tribal governments are eligible to apply; (5) five 

percent of the funds shall be allocated to tribal governments; (6) 

grants will fund planning activities, demonstration pilots, innovative approaches and implementation of projects designed to reduce 

greenhouse gases; (7) examples of eligible projects include land use 

planning, programs to reduce vehicle miles traveled, improvements 

to building energy efficiency and projects to capture methane from 

agriculture operations for use as an alternative to fossil fuels. The 

Agency is directed to report on its progress in implementing this 

grant program, including a summary of the projects funded, estimates of greenhouse gases reduced and suggestions for future implementation of the program. 

Section 106 Pollution Control Grants.—The bill provides $218,495,000 for pollution control grants authorized by Section 106 

of the Clean Water Act. The House and Senate Appropriations 

Committees do not support the Agency’s recent National Permit 

Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) rulemaking to create 

an incentive pool of funds for States that charge NPDES fees and 

have not provided funds to implement this change. The Agency is 

directed to award Section 106 grants using the historic allocation 

formula. The Committees have also rejected the Agency’s proposal 

to direct the entire amount appropriated for water quality monitoring to statistically representative monitoring programs and direct the Agency to follow the historic allocation criteria between 

State capacity building and national surveys, as provided in fiscal 

year 2008. 

Underground Storage Tank Grants.—The amount remaining in 

this account and not moved to the LUST account, is directed to 

fund state activities not authorized by either section 9003(h) of the 

Solid Waste Disposal Act or the Energy Policy Act of 2005. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS, ENVIRONMENTAL 

PROTECTION AGENCY 

(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

The bill includes two new administrative provisions which make 

permanent prior year limitations on the reimbursement of consultants, purchase of uniforms, and use of funds for facility construction projects. It also includes bill language concerning the Agency’s 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
1144 

use of Title 42 hiring authority. The bill includes a $10,000,000 rescission from the State and Tribal Assistance Grants Account as 

proposed in the budget request. The Committees further direct the 

Agency to take this rescission from the following programs: 

(1) Unobligated balances from the Title II Construction Grants 

program; 

(2) Unobligated prior-year balances from State categorical grant 

programs; and 

(3) Balances from special project grants appropriated in fiscal 

year 2002 or earlier which have not been obligated on an approved 

grant as of July 1, 2009. 

The Agency is directed to provide a report to the Committees outlining the allocation of the rescission 15 days prior to implementation. 

The bill includes a provision mandating that the Agency provide 

no less than $6,500,000 from the Environmental Program and 

Management account for the Greenhouse Gas emissions reporting 

rule and restating the deadline for promulgation of a final rule, as 

directed by Public Law 110–161. That law directed EPA to use its 

existing authority under the Clean Air Act to develop and publish 

a rule requiring mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions 

above appropriate thresholds in all sectors of the economy. The 

Committees are dismayed that the Agency missed its September 

26, 2008 deadline to issue a draft rule and direct the Agency to redouble its efforts to meet the June 26, 2009 deadline to promulgate 

the final rule, as required by law.

The detailed allocation of funding by program, activity and subactivity is included in the table at the end of this section of the 

statement. In addition, the bill also includes the following specific 

funding levels and directions: 

Inventory and Monitoring.—Within the funds provided, 

$1,000,000 of the funds provided for the Threat Assessment Centers program is for the NASA Stennis Space Center in Mississippi 

to acquire remote sensing data to inventory and monitor Federal 

and non-Federal lands as authorized by Title IV of Public Law 

108–148, the Healthy Forests Restoration Act. 

Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness.—The bill provides the fiscal year 2008 funding level, plus fixed costs, plus an increase of 

$10,000,000. The Committees on Appropriations expect that each 

individual National Forest or Grassland will comply fully with all 

travel management regulatory requirements, particularly the 

science-based analysis in 36 CFR 212.5 (b)(1), the identification of 

unneeded roads in 36 CFR 212.5(b)(2), and the criteria for designation in 36 CFR 212.55(a) and (b). The Committees expect the Forest Service to identify priorities, and associated resource requirements, to fully comply with the regulatory requirements of 36 CFR 

212.5(b) (1) and (2). 

Forest Products.—The bill provides the budget request of 

$322,666,000 plus an increase of $10,000,000. The requested funds 

should be allocated as stipulated in the President’s budget, following the Northwest Forest Plan. The funding increase should be 

used for those forests not covered by the Northwest Forest Plan 

that have budget shortfalls and capacity for additional, successful 

work. 

The Service should consider all contract methods for implementing fuels reduction projects proposed on the Sierra and Sequoia National Forests, including the Kings River, Sugar Pine, 

Frog, and revised Ice projects, including stewardship contracting 

authority provided under Section 323 of Public Law 108–7, and utilize available agency funding to accomplish these multiple objectives. 

Vegetation and Watershed Management.—The bill supports the 

budget request to continue leafy spurge eradication on the Dakota 

Prairie Grasslands in conjunction with the Service’s local partners. 

There is also a $500,000 increase within available funding to remediate hazardous materials and other natural resource damage 

caused by drug cultivation on national forest lands; these funds 

should be distributed to support high-priority restoration needs following drug eradication activity. 

Law Enforcement Operations.—The bill provides $135,500,000 for 

law enforcement operations. The Service is expected to use the increase above the request to fund uncontrollable costs, continue efforts to increase the eradication of marijuana from national forest 

lands and maximize the number of interagency drug enforcement 

operations conducted with Federal and non-Federal partners. In 

particular, funding for counterdrug operations on the Daniel Boone 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING

(KY) and Mark Twain (MO) National Forests shall be maintained 

at no less than their enacted levels. 

Valles Caldera National Preserve.—The bill includes $4,000,000 

for the Valles Caldera National Preserve Trust (NM). The increase 

over the enacted level should be used to fund capital improvements 

for the preserve.

of at least $8,200,000 in appropriated funds to support activities at 

the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area (KY and 

TN). 

Rescission.—The bill rescinds $5,000,000 in unobligated, prior 

balances as proposed in the budget request. The bill language is 

within the National forest system appropriation instead of as a 

General Provision as proposed by the Administration.

WV; $2,500,000 for construction of research field stations and support infrastructure in Hawaii; and $1,500,000 for construction of a 

new work station for the Cherokee NF in Tennessee. 

Roads Maintenance and Construction.—The bill includes 

$162,500,000 for road maintenance and $66,325,000 for road construction; these allocations reflect new information from the Forest 

Service concerning appropriate allocations for maintenance versus 

construction. The construction activity includes $1,000,000 for road 

improvements on the Tongass National Forest (AK) and $825,000 

for road improvements on the Monongahela National Forest (WV). 

The Service should provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations by May 15, 2009 on road maintenance needs and policy 

options for designating portions of the Forest Service road system 

so it would be eligible for the next highway bill funding in a manner similar to Interior department bureaus. 

Trails Maintenance and Construction.—The trail maintenance 

activity should especially consider the needs of the Pacific Crest 

National Scenic Trail and the Florida National Scenic Trail. Within 

the funds for trail construction there is $300,000 for the HumboldtToyaibe National Forest (NV) to construct the Reno-to-Tahoe Rim 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
1148 

Trail and $350,000 for the Monongahela National Forest (WV) trail 

improvements. 

The bill retains previous base funding for maintenance, construction, and operation of the network of national scenic and historic 

trails; they should be funded at no less than the enacted level. 

Legacy Road and Trail Remediation.—The bill provides $50,000,000 to expand the effort begun last year to begin to remedy 

the extensive backlog of roads and trails which harm the environment and provide poor public service. The Service should use legacy road and trail remediation funding in a strategic effort to decommission and fix roads and trails in environmentally sensitive 

areas, focusing on those areas where Forest Service roads may be 

contributing to water quality problems in streams and water bodies 

which support threatened, endangered or sensitive species. The 

Service should utilize public input to help select legacy road and 

trail remediation projects, and report back to the Committees on 

Appropriations on the selected projects, and make its selection 

process and implementation activities readily apparent on the 

Agency’s web site.

Budget estimate, 2009 .................................................................... +155,038,000 

The detailed allocation of funding by program, activity and subactivity is included in the table at the end of this section of the 

statement. In addition, the bill also includes the following specific 

funding levels and directions: 

Preparedness.—The bill provides the fiscal year 2008 funding 

level, plus $6,181,000 for fixed costs, plus $3,000,000 to continue 

the firefighter retention initiative funded through P.L. 110–329. 

The Forest Service should maintain the levels of readiness needed 

for public safety that were established in fiscal year 2007. The Forest Service should analyze current readiness levels to determine 

whether maintaining preparedness resources in the field at a level 

not less than that established in fiscal year 2007 will, based on the 

best information available, result in lower overall firefighting costs. 

If the Forest Service makes such a determination, the Service 

should adjust the levels for preparedness and suppression funding 

accordingly and report on these adjustments to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. The Secretary of Agriculture 

should advise the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 

in writing prior to the decision. In the future, the Committees on 

Appropriations expect the Service to request preparedness budgets 

that adequately cover the costs of readiness activities without 

undue shifts of expenses to the suppression appropriation. 

The Committees are very concerned that the Service has not yet 

finalized or implemented a comprehensive plan to improve firefighter recruitment and retention in Region 5, despite documented 

vacancies in firefighting positions. The Committees understand 

that the Service is still studying a range of options to improve firefighter recruitment and retention in Region 5 and other high-risk 

areas of the nation, including changes to pay rates and scheduling 

flexibility. Further delay is not acceptable. The Service is directed 

to provide a comprehensive recruitment and retention plan, including a full spending plan for the funds appropriated in P.L. 110– 

329, to the Committees by no later than March 1, 2009. 

Fire suppression operations.—The bill provides the request, 

$993,947,000, for fire operations, an increase of $148,327,000 above 

the fiscal year 2008 non-emergency funding level. The Forest Service and the Department of the Interior should continue reports required previously and examine, using independent panels, any individual wildfire incident which results in expenses greater than 

$10,000,000. 

Hazardous Fuels.—The bill provides $328,086,000 for the hazardous fuels reduction program, an increase of $18,000,000 above 

the fiscal year 2008 level. This funding increase should be used in 

those areas facing the greatest risk from wildfires because of excessive fuel loads. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
1151 

The Forest Service should provide no less than $26,200,000 for 

the Quincy Library Group’s hazardous fuels reduction activities 

(CA) as proposed in the request. 

Rehabilitation.—The bill provides $11,500,000 to continue the rehabilitation of burned areas program as in fiscal year 2008; the Administration request eliminated this program. 

Fire Plan Research and Development.—The bill provides 

$23,917,000 to continue the fire plan research and development 

program. 

Forest Health Management Federal Lands.—The bill provides 

$17,252,000 for Federal lands forest health management, which includes the requested funding plus $3,000,000 for a western bark 

beetle initiative. The increase should be allocated using the National Insect and Disease Risk map; the Service should focus its efforts on areas where tree mortality is expected to exceed at least 

25 percent over the next 15 years. 

Forest Health Management Cooperative Lands.—The bill provides 

$9,928,000 to continue the cooperative lands forest health program. 

State Fire Assistance.—The bill provides $55,000,000 for State 

fire assistance, an increase of $19,996,000 above the request. Within the funds provided, $5,000,000 shall be provided to the South 

Lake Tahoe Public Utility District for the Lake Tahoe Community 

Fire Protection Project. These funds should be used by local utility 

districts to fund their highest priority fire protection projects such 

as increasing water pressure or installing new fire hydrants. Funds 

are to be matched by local water utility districts on at least a oneto-one basis. 

Volunteer Fire Assistance.—The bill provides $9,000,000 for volunteer fire assistance, an increase of $1,000,000 above the request. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS, FOREST SERVICE 

The bill includes administrative provisions similar to previous 

years. This includes limiting transfers to the USDA for reimbursable charges to the requested amount and allowing up to 

$50,000,000 to be assessed for fire, administrative and other facilities maintenance. The bill provides $3,000,000 for the National 

Forest Foundation and $3,000,000 for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation; it is acceptable for these foundations to make 

grants to Federal recipients, including Forest Service offices. Bill 

language in Title IV, General Provisions, prevents any funding for 

the competitive sourcing program.

The detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 

for the Indian Health Services account is included in the table at 

the end of this section of the statement. In addition to specifying 

these amounts, the bill includes the following directions: 

Domestic violence within the American Indian and Alaska Native 

(AI/AN) communities continues to be an area of serious concern. 

Children in these communities have the second highest rate of maltreatment in the country, and one in three AI/AN women will be 

physically or sexually abused in her lifetime. In order to provide 

the Indian Health Service (IHS) with additional tools to better address child and family violence in AI/AN communities, the bill includes $7,500,000 to implement a nationally coordinated domestic 

violence prevention initiative. With these funds, the IHS is encouraged to further expand its outreach advocacy programs into Native 

communities, expand the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault 

Pilot project already in operation; and use a portion of the funding 

for training and the purchase of forensic equipment to support the 

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program (SANE). Within 90 days 

of enactment, the Service should provide an outline of how funds 

will be allocated, and an assessment of next steps to be taken to 

further advance the various components of this initiative in the 

coming fiscal year. The report should also address the Service’s 

progress in developing standardized sexual assault policies, as well 

as a cost estimate for full implementation of the SANE program. An additional amount of $2,500,000 is provided to support the 

Service’s health information technology efforts. The House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations view the various components 

of this program—from electronic records management to telehealth 

technologies—as essential to the increased availability of quality 

health services throughout Indian Country. 

The Service, and particularly the Director of Oral Health, is 

strongly encouraged to redouble its efforts to address the alarmingly high vacancy rates among health professionals, for example 

31 percent among dental professionals, in the Indian Health Service. Therefore, an increase of $8,299,000 over the fiscal year 2008 

enacted level has been provided for Dental Services in order to 

maintain current levels of care and provide for the staffing of new 

facilities. 

The bill provides $16,391,000 to continue the grant program to 

treat and prevent methamphetamine abuse. This is an increase of 

$2,609,000 over the amount provided in fiscal year 2008, and it is 

expected that the Service will use a portion of the funding for the 

treatment of behavioral and mental health problems associated 

with methamphetamine use. To determine the effectiveness of this 

program, which was initiated in fiscal year 2008, the Service is directed to report on the progress, accomplishments, and achievements of this program to the Committees on Appropriations within 

60 days of enactment of this legislation. In addition, the Service is 

encouraged to participate in the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders 

and Alcohol Screening, Intervention and Referral Initiative. 

The Indian Health Service is directed to use the Indian Health 

Care Improvement Fund to bring the units with the highest level 

of need up to at least 40 percent before allocating funds to units 

with needs above 40 percent. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
1153 

Within the resources available to the Hospitals and Clinics program, the Service is encouraged to provide such assistance as may 

be necessary for the newly formed Nevada Indian Health Board to 

fully establish its operations. 

Within the amount provided for Indian Health Professions, it is 

expected that the Service will fund the InMed, RAIN and InPsych 

programs at no less than the current levels and manage them in 

the same manner as in prior years. The Service is also expected to 

use health professions program funding for loan repayment and 

scholarship programs to encourage increased recruitment and retention of health professionals. 

The Service is directed to re-examine the policies it currently has 

in place for the integration of newly recognized tribes into the IHS 

system. There have been complaints regarding the length of time 

it now takes for a newly recognized tribe to obtain the funding and 

services to which it is entitled under the law. While acknowledging 

the budgetary constraints within which the IHS must operate, it is 

not unreasonable for newly recognized tribes to expect that a process would be in place for the prompt assessment of tribal needs, 

the subsequent development of a specific plan for the delivery of 

health services and funding, and a timeline for doing so. The Service is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this legislation with recommendations 

for the improvement of the current ad hoc system.

The detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 

for the Indian Health Facilities account is included in the table at 

the end of this section of the statement. In addition to specifying 

these amounts, the bill includes the following directions: 

The bill provides $40,000,000 for health facilities construction, 

but it does not allocate specific projects within that amount. Instead, the Service is directed to select projects from the priority list 

based upon readiness, as well as need, and report to the Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment on the specific 

construction projects it intends to fund. It is expected that facilities 

funding will continue to be distributed in a manner that addresses 

the fluctuating annual workload and maintains parity among tribes 

and Indian Health Service areas as the workload shifts. The Service is further expected to use savings achieved from completed 

health care facilities construction projects to continue other high 

priority projects from the Service’s construction list. 

The high vacancy rate of health professionals in the Indian 

Health Service has not been substantially alleviated by current recruitment and retention efforts. To the extent possible, the Service 

is encouraged to use the construction and improvement of staffing 

quarters as a vital tool to recruit and retain these health professionals. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC65 with HEARING
1154 

Within the overall amount provided for construction, the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations recommend $500,000 for 

new mobile dental units. There is a concern, however, that high 

dental vacancy rates have left newly constructed units unstaffed. 

The Service should attempt in the distribution of these funds to ensure that staffing will be available for new units and that construction can be initiated in an expeditious manner once funds are committed. 

No resources have been provided for the joint venture and small 

ambulatory grants programs because all qualified projects on the 

existing list have been completed. These programs have broad support, and the Service is directed to initiate new solicitations for 

both in this fiscal year. As in the past, the Service is encouraged 

to provide additional credit to tribes that are willing to provide full 

funding for facility equipment in addition to providing full funding 

for facility construction when determining priorities for project 

funding under the joint ventures program for hospitals and clinics. 

The recent GAO findings on the Indian Health Service’s inventory management system are of particular concern. Although the 

IHS has reportedly taken steps to address the issues specifically 

identified in the report, the GAO is directed to conduct a followup investigation of the Service’s inventory management system to 

ensure that proper safeguards have been put in place to ensure full 

accountability.μ In addition, the IHS is strongly encouraged to 

evaluate its entire inventory management system, take necessary 

steps to correct any deficiencies, and report to the Committees on 

Appropriations on these efforts no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act. 

An amount of up to $2,700,000 from within funds from both the 

‘‘Facilities’’ and ‘‘Services’’ accounts is designated in the bill for the 

purchase of ambulances through an existing agreement with the 

General Services Administration. This is an increase of $1,700,000 

from previous years and reflects the current GSA estimate of 

$100,000 per replacement vehicle.

The detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 

for the Salaries and Expenses account of the Smithsonian Institution is included in the table at the end of this section of the statement. This allocation reflects the decision to reallocate $10,000,000 

from the budget request for facilities to restore reductions proposed 

in the budget for public programs, education, and research. The reallocation includes $5,000,000 from facility services in the Salaries 

and Expenses account and $5,000,000 from facilities planning in 

the Facilities Capital account. While the bill maintains the traditional structure for appropriating facility funding in the two accounts, the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations request that the Secretary of the Smithsonian review this structure 

to determine whether a consolidation of these funds under the Facilities Capital account would provide a more systemic review of facility funding requirements throughout the Institution. 

Government Accountability Office Review of Reform Process.—The 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations believe that 

much progress has been made by the Smithsonian to address the 

failures which contributed to a decline in Congressional and public 

confidence in the management and governance of the Smithsonian 

Institution. The appointment of a new Secretary, the restructuring 

of a more active Board of Regents, and the adoption of a series of 

policy changes to correct fiscal and management failures are very 

positive signs. The Committees believe, however, that these are 

only the initial steps and that a continuing commitment to reform, 

especially to the principals of fiscal stewardship of public resources, 

and to accountability and openness, are essential. The Committees

request that the Government Accountability Office conduct a thorough review of the reform process and submit a progress report to 

the Committees no later than December 31, 2009. 

National Zoo.—The House and Senate Committees on Appropriations are pleased that the National Zoo has recently received full 

accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). 

The Committees recognize, however, that maintaining accreditation 

is an on-going process and encourage the Smithsonian to give priority in allocating resources to meet continuing staffing needs identified during this year’s AZA review.

Reprogramming Guidelines 

The reprogramming requirements for fiscal year 2009 applicable 

to funds appropriated in this Act for programs under the jurisdiction of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Subcommittees remain the same as in effect for fiscal year 2008 with one exception (see H. Rept. 110–187, pages 190–191). In addition to these 

requirements, the Committees on Appropriations direct that all 

major reorganizations be submitted for review prior to their implementation. 

Workforce planning 

The Department of the Interior is a highly staff-intensive agency 

employing approximately 70,000 people. This staff is distributed 

throughout eight major bureaus and numerous other offices. Similarly, the Environmental Protection Agency, which employs over 

17,000 staff, has 12 offices within headquarters, 10 regions and 

scores of laboratories and centers, while the Forest Service has 

over 30,000 employees in over 750 offices in 48 States and territories. The Committees on Appropriations are concerned that workforce plans for the Department of the Interior, the Environmental 

Protection Agency and the Forest Service are in many cases outdated and that no comprehensive review of appropriate staffing 

needs for the future has been undertaken. The Committees request 

that the Government Accountability Office conduct a review of existing workforce planning processes throughout these institutions 

and make recommendations for changes based on appropriate bestpractices models used by other federal agencies. The Committees 

request this report be submitted no later than December 31, 2009. 

HRSA shall brief the Committees on Appropriations of the House 

of Representatives and the Senate on the terms and conditions of 

its proposed request for application prior to its public release.
