APPALACHIAN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACT

AMENDMENTS OF 2006

JULY 12, 2006.—Ordered to be printed

Mr. INHOFE, from the Committee on Environment and Public

Works, submitted the following

REPORT

[to accompany S. 2832]

[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

The Committee on Environment and Public Works, to which was

referred a bill (S. 2832) to reauthorize and improve the program

authorized by the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965,

having considered the same, reports favorably thereon and recommends that the bill do pass.

GENERAL STATEMENT AND BACKGROUND

The Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965 (title 40,

subtitle IV, United States Code) established the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). ARC is a Federal-State partnership that

works with the people of Appalachia to create opportunities for

self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life.

ARC includes all or portions of 13 States: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,

Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

ARC’s primary function is to support development of Appalachia’s economy and critical infrastructure to provide a climate for

growth in business and industry that will create jobs. ARC administers a variety of programs to aid in the development and advance-
2

ment of the region including a highway system, education and job

training, and water and sewer systems.

ARC administers economic development funds through a series of

grant programs. The agency generally allocates funds based on the

economic distress of a given locality, devoting a significant percentage of its resources to economically distressed communities. By

law, at least 50 percent of all non-highway project grant funds

must go to distressed counties and areas. In fiscal year 2005, for

example, 57 percent of ARC’s non-highway funds supported

projects that primarily or substantially benefited distressed counties and areas.

Since its creation in 1965, ARC’s funding and projects have contributed significantly to improvements in the region. The number

of economically distressed counties has been cut by more than half,

from 223 distressed counties in 1965 to 77 counties in 2006. The

regional poverty rate has been cut by more than half. High school

graduation rates have increased by more than 70 percent. The infant mortality rate has been cut by two-thirds, and more than 400

ARC-funded rural health facilities have expanded access to health

care across Appalachia. Since 1977, ARC has invested $36.7 million

in revolving loan funds that generated $115 million in loans for

small businesses and leveraged $8.59 in other investment for each

ARC dollar, helping create more than 30,000 jobs.

Unfortunately, roughly one-fifth of ARC’s counties remain distressed. Additionally, one-fourth of Appalachia’s counties have a

poverty rate more than 150 percent of the national average and a

majority of the counties have a higher unemployment rate than the

national average.

OBJECTIVES OF THE LEGISLATION

S. 2832 provides for the reauthorization and improvement of the

Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965. The bill strengthens the Act by providing tools to better assist those counties most

at-risk of becoming economically distressed and by increasing the

authorization level of the Act.

SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS

Section 1. Short title.

This section provides that this Act may be cited as the ‘‘Appalachian Regional Development Act Amendments of 2006’’.

Sec. 2. Limitation on available amounts; maximum commission

contribution.

SUMMARY

This section amends sections 14321(a), 14502, 14503, 14504,

14505, 14506 and 14507(g) of title 40, United States Code, to provide a maximum grant rate of 70 percent for designated at-risk

counties.

DESCRIPTION

ARC’s grant programs include assistance for economic development, demonstration health projects, assistance for proposed low-
3

and middle-income housing projects, a telecommunications and

technology initiative, an entrepreneurship initiative, a regional

skills partnership, and supplements to Federal grant programs.

Currently each of these non-highway programs includes a maximum grant rate of 75 or 80 percent for distressed counties and 50

percent for all other counties. This section provides ARC with a

tool to try to prevent those counties most at risk of becoming economically distressed from actually becoming distressed by providing a maximum grant rate for these ‘‘at-risk’’ counties of 70 percent for all of ARC’s non-highway grant programs.

Sec. 3. Distressed, at-risk, and economically strong counties.

This section amends section 14526(a)(1) of title 40, United States

Code, to direct the Commission to designate as ‘‘at-risk’’ those

counties that are most at risk of becoming economically distressed.

Sec. 4. Authorization of appropriations.

SUMMARY

This section amends section 14703 of title 40, United States

Code, to set authorization levels for fiscal years 2007–2011.

DESCRIPTION

The section authorizes $95.2 million in fiscal year 2007; $98.6 million in fiscal year 2008; $102 million in fiscal year 2009; $105.7

million in fiscal year 2010; and $109.4 in fiscal year 2011. These

levels include increases in line with projected inflation rates (Historical Tables of the U.S. Government Budget, Table 10.1, ‘‘Other

Grants’’).

Sec. 5. Termination.

This section amends section 14704 of title 40, United States

Code, to extend the date on which the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965 (with the exception of the Appalachian development highway system and the definition of the Appalachian region)

ceases to be in effect from October 1, 2006, to October 1, 2011.

Sec. 6. Effective date.

This section states that the amendments made by this Act take

effect on October 1, 2006.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

On May 18, 2006, Senator Voinovich introduced S. 2832, which

was co-sponsored by Senators Clinton, Warner, DeWine, Lott,

Allen, Burr and Dole. The bill was read twice and referred to the

Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. The committee met on May 23, 2006 to consider the bill. S. 2832 was ordered favorably reported without amendment by voice vote.

HEARINGS

On April 20, 2006, the Committee on Environment and Public

Works conducted a field hearing in Marietta, Ohio, to receive testimony on the impact of the 2002 reauthorization and issues regarding the 2006 reauthorization. The committee received testimony
4

from Ms. Ann Pope, Federal Co-Chair, Appalachian Regional Commission; Mr. T.J. Justice, Director, Governor’s Office of Appalachia,

Appalachian Regional Commission; Mr. Don Myers, Director, Ohio

Mid-Eastern Governments Association; Mr. Gary Little, President,

Information Technology Alliance of Appalachian Ohio; Mr. David

Matusoff, Principal and Director of Technology Planning,

Whiteboard Broadband Solutions; Dr. David Scholl, President,

CEO, Diagnostic Hybrid, Inc.; Ms. Angela Stuber, Executive Director, Ohio Community Computing Network; Mr. Steve Grossman,

Executive Director, Ohio Water Development Authority; Mr. Jeff

Hughes, Director, Environmental Finance Center, University of

North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Institute of Government; and Mr.

Ken Reed, Director, Vinton County Community and Economic Development, Vinton County Courthouse.

ROLLCALL VOTES

The Committee on Environment and Public Works met to consider S. 2832 on May 23, 2006. The bill was ordered favorably reported by voice vote. No roll call votes were taken.

REGULATORY IMPACT STATEMENT

In compliance with section 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing

Rules of the Senate, the committee finds that S. 2832 does not create any additional regulatory burdens, nor will it cause any adverse impact on the personal privacy of individuals.

MANDATES ASSESSMENT

In compliance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(Public Law 104–4), the committee finds that S. 2832 would impose

no Federal intergovernmental unfunded mandates on State, local,

or tribal governments. The bill contains no new private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA.

COST OF LEGISLATION

Section 403 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act requires that a statement of the cost of the reported bill,

prepared by the Congressional Budget Office, be included in the report. That statement follows:

S. 2832, Appalachian Regional Development Act Amendments of

2006, As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on May 23, 2006

Summary

S. 2832 would authorize the appropriation of $511 million for the

Appalachian Regional Commission over the 2007–2011 period. The

commission provides grants to State and local governments to support economic development within the Appalachian region. S. 2832

also would amend limitations on the size of awards to grantees.

CBO estimates that implementing S. 2832 would cost $267 million over the 2007–2011 period and $244 million more after 2011,
5

assuming the appropriation of the authorized amounts. Enacting

the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues.

S. 2832 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

and would benefit local governments in the Appalachian region.

Estimated Cost to the Federal Government

The estimated budgetary impact of S. 2832 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 450 (community and regional development). For this estimate

we assume that the authorized amounts will be provided each year

and that spending will follow historical patterns for the Appalachian Regional Commission. CBO estimates that implementing S.

2832 would cost $267 million over the next 5 years.

Intergovernmental and Provate-Sector Impact

S. 2832 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA. Assuming the appropriation of the authorized amounts, counties in the Appalachian region would receive

an additional $500 million over the next several years for a variety

of grant programs. In addition, this bill would increase the funding

available to certain counties that are at risk of becoming economically distressed. Any costs to those governments would be incurred

voluntarily as conditions of receiving Federal assistance. This bill

would not affect the budgets of other State, local, or tribal governments.

Estimate Prepared By: Federal Costs: Gregory Waring; Impact on

State, Local, and Tribal Governments: Melissa Merrell; Impact on

the Private Sector: Craig Cammarata.

Estimate Approved By: Peter H. Fontaine, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
