                        Reprogramming Guidelines

    The following are the procedures governing reprogramming 
actions for programs and activities funded in the Interior, 
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act:
    1. Definition.--``Reprogramming,'' as defined in these 
procedures, includes the reallocation of funds from one budget 
activity to another. In cases where either the House or Senate 
Committee report displays an allocation of an appropriation 
below the activity level, that more detailed level shall be the 
basis for reprogramming. For construction accounts, a 
reprogramming constitutes the reallocation of funds from one 
construction project (identified in the justification or 
Committee report) to another. A reprogramming shall also 
consist of any significant departure from the program described 
in the agency's budget justifications. This includes proposed 
reorganizations even without a change in funding.
    2. Guidelines for Reprogramming.--(a) A reprogramming 
should be made only when an unforeseen situation arises; and 
then only if postponement of the project or the activity until 
the next appropriation year would result in actual loss or 
damage. Mere convenience or desire should not be factors for 
consideration.
    (b) Any project or activity, which may be deferred through 
reprogramming, shall not later be accomplished by means of 
further reprogramming; but, instead, funds should again be 
sought for the deferred project or activity through the regular 
appropriations process.
    (c) Reprogramming should not be employed to initiate new 
programs or to change allocations specifically denied, limited 
or increased by the Congress in the act or the report. In cases 
where unforeseen events or conditions are deemed to require 
changes, proposals shall be submitted in advance to the 
Committee, regardless of amounts involved, and be fully 
explained and justified.
    (d) Reprogramming proposals submitted to the Committee for 
approval shall be considered approved 30 calendar days after 
receipt if the Committee has posed no objection. However, 
agencies will be expected to extend the approval deadline if 
specifically requested by either Committee.
    (e) Proposed changes to estimated working capital fund 
bills and estimated overhead charges, deductions, reserves or 
holdbacks, as such estimates were presented in annual budget 
justifications, shall be submitted through the reprogramming 
process.
    3. Criteria and Exceptions.--Any proposed reprogramming 
must be submitted to the Committee in writing prior to 
implementation if it exceeds $500,000 annually or results in an 
increase or decrease of more than 10 percent annually in 
affected programs, with the following exceptions:
    (a) With regard to the tribal priority allocations activity 
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Operations of Indian Programs 
account, there is no restriction on reprogrammings among the 
programs within this activity. However, the Bureau shall report 
on all reprogrammings made during the first 6 months of the 
fiscal year by no later than May 1 of each year, and shall 
provide a final report of all reprogrammings for the previous 
fiscal year by no later than November 1 of each year.
    (b) With regard to the Environmental Protection Agency, 
State and Tribal Assistance Grants account, reprogramming 
requests associated with States and Tribes applying for 
partnership grants do not need to be submitted to the Committee 
for approval should such grants exceed the normal reprogramming 
limitations. In addition, the Agency need not submit a request 
to move funds between wastewater and drinking water objectives 
for those grants targeted to specific communities.
    4. Quarterly Reports.--(a) All reprogrammings shall be 
reported to the Committee quarterly and shall include 
cumulative totals.
    (b) Any significant shifts of funding among object 
classifications also should be reported to the Committee.
    5. Administrative Overhead Accounts.--For all 
appropriations where costs of overhead administrative expenses 
are funded in part from ``assessments'' of various budget 
activities within an appropriation, the assessments shall be 
shown in justifications under the discussion of administrative 
expenses.
    6. Contingency Accounts.--For all appropriations where 
assessments are made against various budget activities or 
allocations for contingencies the Committee expects a full 
explanation, as part of the budget justification, consistent 
with section 405 of this act. The explanation shall show the 
amount of the assessment, the activities assessed, and the 
purpose of the fund. The Committee expects reports each year 
detailing the use of these funds. In no case shall a fund be 
used to finance projects and activities disapproved or limited 
by Congress or to finance new permanent positions or to finance 
programs or activities that could be foreseen and included in 
the normal budget review process. Contingency funds shall not 
be used to initiate new programs.
    7. Report Language.--Any limitation, directive, or 
earmarking contained in either the House or Senate report which 
is not contradicted by the other report nor specifically denied 
in the conference report shall be considered as having been 
approved by both Houses of Congress.
    8. Assessments.--No assessments shall be levied against any 
program, budget activity, subactivity, or project funded by the 
Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 
unless such assessments and the basis therefore are presented 
to the Committees on Appropriations and are approved by such 
Committees, in compliance with these procedures.
    9. Land Acquisitions and Forest Legacy.--Lands shall not be 
acquired for more than the approved appraised value (as 
addressed in section 301(3) of Public Law 91-646) except for 
condemnations and declarations of taking, unless such 
acquisitions are submitted to the Committees on Appropriations 
for approval in compliance with these procedures.
    10. Land Exchanges.--Land exchanges, wherein the estimated 
value of the Federal lands to be exchanged is greater than 
$500,000, shall not be consummated until the Committees on 
Appropriations have had a 30-day period in which to examine the 
proposed exchange.
    11. Appropriations Structure.--The appropriation structure 
for any agency shall not be altered without advance approval of 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
    12. Other.--Appropriations for fiscal year 2006 reflect a 1 
percent across-the-board rescission contained in section 3801 
of chapter 8 of title III of division B of Public Law 109-148 
and a .476 percent across-the-board rescission on section 439 
of Public Law 109-54.

                                TITLE I

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                        LAND AND WATER RESOURCES

                       Bureau of Land Management

    The Bureau of Land Management is charged with administering 
for multiple uses 262 million acres of public land concentrated 
in 12 western States, as well as 700 million acres of 
federally-owned sub-surface mineral rights. Minerals, timber, 
rangeland, fish and wildlife, wilderness and recreation are 
among the resources and activities managed by BLM.
    Recent increases in energy production and recreation visits 
have placed an even greater stress on the Bureau's multiple use 
mandate, but great strides are being made to address the needs 
of an ever-growing U.S. population.
    In 2007 over 68 million visitors are expected to 
participate in recreational activities on public lands. This 
influx of visitors necessitates ongoing investments in the 
Bureau's planning, recreation management, facilities 
construction and law enforcement programs.
    In addition, the Bureau is tasked with managing programs 
involving the mineral industry, utility companies, ranchers, 
the timber industry, and the conservation and research 
communities. In 2007, it is estimated that public lands will 
generate $5,829,412,000 in revenues, the bulk of this amount 
coming from ongoing energy development. BLM will collect an 
estimated $1,329,412,000 in revenue from the sale of land and 
materials, grazing fees, timber sales, and recreation use and 
filing fees. Additionally, the Bureau's onshore mineral leasing 
activities are expected to generate $4,500,000,000 in receipts. 
Of the revenues generated on public lands, approximately 39 
percent is provided directly to States and counties to support 
roads, schools, and community needs.

                    MANAGEMENT OF LAND AND RESOURCES

Appropriations, 2006....................................    $847,632,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     863,244,000
House allowance.........................................     867,738,000
Committee recommendation................................     876,872,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $876,872,000, 
an increase of $13,628,000 over the budget request. Activity-
level changes are listed below, and changes to specific 
subactivities are reflected in the table in the back of the 
report.
    Land Resources.--The Committee recommends $188,281,000 for 
land resources, which is an increase of $1,400,000 above the 
request. Increases above the request include $1,000,000 for the 
Idaho Department of Agriculture to provide coordination, 
facilitation, administrative support, and cost-shared weed 
control project funding to Cooperative Weed Management Areas, 
$200,000 for the Rio Puerco Watershed project, and $200,000 for 
the Walking Box Ranch/Mojave Desert Education and Research 
Center. Within funds, $100,000 is to be made available for 
slickspot peppergrass monitoring in Idaho.
    The Committee fully supports the administration's inclusion 
in the request of an additional $3,000,000 to preserve and 
enhance cultural and heritage resources.
    The Committee does not support the budget request's 
suggested elimination of the Range Improvements Account, and 
has restored these funds.
    The Committee has included further direction regarding 
grazing permit stocking levels and the acceptance of third 
party range monitoring under the Forest Service's account for 
grazing management.
    Wildlife and Fisheries Management.--The Committee 
recommends $40,805,000, for wildlife and fisheries management, 
which is equal to the request.
    Threatened and Endangered Species.--The Committee 
recommends $21,435,000 for threatened and endangered species 
management, which is equal to the request.
    Recreation Management.--The Committee recommends 
$65,165,000 for recreation management, which is $1,400,000 over 
the budget request. Increases above the budget request in the 
wilderness subactivity include $500,000 to restore the 
recommended program reduction. Increases over the budget 
request for recreation resources management include $900,000 
for the Undaunted Stewardship program. Kasha Katuwe Tent Rocks 
National Monument should be funded at the 2006 level of 
$415,000.
    In future budget requests, the Committee expects the 
Department of the Interior to include unit-level allocations 
for National Monuments, National Conservation Areas, National 
Scenic and National Historic Trails and Wild and Scenic Rivers.
    Energy and Minerals Management Including Alaska Minerals.--
The Committee has provided $138,005,000, which is $27,585,000 
above the enacted level and $3,300,000 above the budget 
request. Increases above the request include $2,300,000 for 
restoration of the Alaska Minerals program and $1,000,000 for 
capping wells in the National Petroleum Reserve. The Alaska 
Minerals program is directed to work in conjunction with the 
Alaska Minerals Resources Assessment program. Within available 
funds, the Committee directs BLM to support the North Slope 
Science Initiative. Within Oil and Gas funds, the Department 
may use up to $250,000 for the Oil and Gas Leasing Internet 
Pilot Program. The Committee has included bill language 
regarding this pilot program under General Provisions of this 
Title.
    The Committee has consistently funded increases for APD 
processing and performance improvements have been significant. 
The Committee understands that increased oil and gas permitting 
activity in recent years has shifted the day to day 
responsibilities of BLM field staff in offices across the west. 
However, since the BLM manages multiple use lands, it is the 
Committee's intent that the contribution of certain field 
office staff should not focus solely on energy development. 
Management of range, recreation, fish and wildlife, and 
historical and cultural resources are all important uses of BLM 
lands and the activities of the professionals hired for those 
responsibilities should not be limited to energy development.
    The Energy Policy Act of 2005 allowed for 25 percent of 
geothermal sales, bonuses, rentals and royalties to be made 
available for implementation of the Geothermal Steam Act of 
1970. With this funding, BLM is expected to expedite 
promulgation of any necessary regulations and act quickly on 
outstanding geothermal energy applications to reduce the 
current backlog.
    The Committee is aware of State and local government 
interest in co-locating State and local government resource 
agency offices with the Bureau of Land Management and the 
Forest Service. The Service and the BLM have made progress in 
reducing operational costs through the Service First 
initiative, and the Committee hopes to see similar progress 
with the States and communities in which they operate. The 
Committee urges the BLM and Forest Service to investigate the 
opportunity for potential efficiencies from co-location.
    Realty and Ownership Management.--The Committee recommends 
$89,044,000 for realty and ownership management, which is 
$6,528,000 above the request. Increases above the request 
include $4,768,000 for the Alaska Land Conveyance project, 
$300,000 for GIS/cadastral mapping in Utah, $750,000 for 
processing recordable disclaimer applications in Alaska, 
$160,000 for soil survey mapping in Wyoming, and $750,000 for 
the ongoing cadastral mapping project in New Mexico. There is a 
decrease of $200,000 for the Nez Perce/Snake River settlement, 
which is instead carried in the Miscellaneous Payments account 
in the Bureau of Indian Affairs section of the bill.
    Resource Protection and Maintenance.--The Committee 
recommends $83,631,000 for resource protection and maintenance, 
which is equal to the budget request. The budget request 
includes funding for six new State staff rangers, and the 
Committee expects that the addition of these employees will 
result in better and more coordinated law enforcement efforts 
across all BLM lands.
    Transportation and Facilities Maintenance.--The Committee 
recommends $76,381,000 for transportation and facilities 
management, which is $1,000,000 above the request. This 
increase is to support activities on the Pacific Crest, 
Continental Divide and Iditarod Trails.
    Land Resources Information.--The Committee recommends 
$17,585,000 for land resources information, which is equal to 
the request.
    Mining Law Administration.--The Committee recommends 
$32,696 for mining law administration, which is equal to the 
request.
    Workforce Organization and Support.--The Committee 
recommends $147,183,000 for workforce organization and support, 
which is equal to the request.
    Challenge Cost Share.--The Committee recommends $9,357,000 
for the challenge cost share program, which is equal to the 
request.
    The Committee directs the Bureau to retain its current 
level of support for the National Conservation Training Center, 
and directs that funds shall be available to NCTC within 60 
days of enactment.

                        wildland fire management

Appropriations, 2006....................................    $755,286,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     769,560,000
House allowance.........................................     769,253,000
Committee recommendation................................     776,649,000

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$776,649,000 for wildland fire management, an increase of 
$7,089,000 above the budget request and $21,363,000 above the 
enacted level.
    The Committee recommends $274,801,000 for fire 
preparedness, which is equal to the request level.
    The Committee also recommends $257,041,000 for fire 
suppression, which is equal to the request level and the 10-
year average.
    The Committee's recommendation includes $244,807,000 for 
other fire operations, which is $7,089,000 more than the 
request level. Burned Area Rehabilitation is funded at 
$24,286,000, Hazardous Fuels is funded at $199,787,000, Rural 
Fire Assistance is funded at $5,000,000, Facilities are funded 
at $7,734,000, and Fire Science is funded at $8,000,000. 
Funding for the National Center for Landscape Fire Analysis 
shall remain at or above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level of 
$1,500,000.
    Within other fire operations, the Committee notes 
substantial inconsistencies between the wildland fire 
management budget requests for the Department of the Interior 
and the U.S. Forest Service. As these inconsistencies have not 
been adequately explained or justified, the Committee is 
providing funds consistent with Congressional priority for a 
unified, interagency approach to dealing with devastating 
wildfires.
    Burned area rehabilitation is funded at the request level 
of $24,286,000. Six million dollars has been reprogrammed by 
the Department from burned area rehabilitation to fire 
preparedness in each of the past 2 fiscal years. The Committee 
approved both of these reprogrammings, recognizing that fire 
prevention and preparedness ultimately reduce the need for 
post-fire rehabilitation. However, if future reprogramming 
requests are anticipated, future wildland fire requests should 
reflect this shift in priorities.
    Hazardous fuels reduction is funded at the request level of 
$199,787,000. The Committee encourages the Bureau to carefully 
evaluate the need for hazardous fuel reduction and watershed 
restoration activities near Ely, Nevada and consider increasing 
funding for these activities.
    The Committee does not support the administration's request 
to eliminate funding for rural fire assistance grants for the 
Department of the Interior while maintaining similar grants for 
the Forest Service. Rural and volunteer fire departments 
provide the first line of defense against wildfires and 
successfully respond to thousands of wildfires annually, 
reducing the need for costly Federal response. The Forest 
Service and Interior fire assistance grants are directed toward 
their respective neighboring local communities. Under the 
administration's proposal, thousands of communities neighboring 
BLM, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, and 
Indian lands would lose priority access to wildland fire 
assistance grants. The Committee further notes that the 
administration claims Interior rural wildland fire assistance 
grants would be replaced by similar grants administered by the 
Department of Homeland Security, although DHS firefighter 
assistance grants are reduced from $648,000,000 to $293,000,000 
in the budget request. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for 
the Rural Fire Assistance program.
    The Committee recommends the requested level of $7,734,000 
for facilities.
    The joint fire science research program, which was designed 
to be a 50-50 partnership between the agencies, is proposed for 
disparate treatment in the 2007 budget request. The 
administration proposes to cut the Forest Service contribution 
by $3,922,000 while maintaining the Interior contribution at 
the 2006 level. The Committee recommends funding each 
Department's share for joint fire science research equally to 
maintain parity for this interagency program, and has provided 
$8,000,000 for the BLM.

Committee recommendation................................       6,840,000

    The Committee recommends $6,840,000 for construction, which 
is $4,910,000 below the fiscal year 2006 level, an increase of 
$364,000 above the request, and $4,636,000 below the House 
allowance. The increase is for visitor services improvements at 
Kasha Katuwe National Monument.

                      FISH AND WILDLIFE AND PARKS

                     U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal 
agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing 
fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats. The Service 
manages the 96 million acre National Wildlife Refuge System, 
which encompasses 545 national wildlife refuges, thousands of 
small wetlands and other special management areas. It also 
operates 69 national fish hatcheries, 64 fish and wildlife 
management offices and 81 ecological services field stations. 
The Agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers the 
Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, 
restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and 
restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign

Committee encourages the Service to complete the Comprehensive 
Conservation Plan for the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, 
Vermont, in fiscal year 2007 and directs the Service to study 
the potential inclusion of additional lands in the vicinity of 
the refuge to secure significant wetlands, migratory bird 
habitat, and Service trust resources.
    Refuge maintenance is funded at $135,454,000, an increase 
of $3,723,000 above the budget request. Increases include 
$224,000 for maintenance support, $395,000 for equipment

to restore the ABC reduction and $900,000 for whirling disease 
research and management, of which $500,000 is for the National 
Partnership for the Management of Wild and Native Coldwater 
Fisheries, and $400,000 is for the Whirling Disease Foundation. 
The Committee recognizes the importance of the Wolf Creek 
National Fish Hatchery and encourages the Fish and Wildlife 
Service to provide the necessary funding for full staffing of 
this nationally significant facility.
    Anadromous fish management programs are funded at 
$9,859,000, a decrease of $482,000 below the budget request. 
There is an increase of $99,000 for fixed costs and to restore 
the ABC reduction. The budget request includes $581,000 for 
Atlantic salmon recovery. The Committee has understood that 
anadromous fish management funds are disbursed at the field 
level to the Service's fishery resource offices. In Maine, the 
only State where Atlantic salmon are listed on the endangered 
species list, the budget request estimates an allocation of 
only $81,000 and one FTE employee for the Maine Fishery 
Resource Office. The Service failed to respond to the 
Committee's request to account for the Service's past 
allocation of funds supposedly dedicated to Atlantic salmon 
recovery and its plans to allocate the other $500,000 in fiscal 
year 2007. Therefore, the Committee recommends a decrease of 
$581,000 from the budget request in order to partially offset 
the Penobscot River project, which is funded in the endangered 
species recovery program.
    Fish and wildlife assistance programs are funded at 
$43,806,000, an increase of $3,103,000 above the budget 
request. Increases include $75,000 to restore the aquatic 
nuisance species program, $500,000 for Great Lakes fish and 
wildlife restoration grants, $500,000 for aquatic pest research 
at Montana State University in coordination with the national 
Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers public awareness initiative, $500,000 
for the Wildlife Health Center in Montana, $64,000 to restore 
funding for the implementation of the Yukon River Salmon 
Treaty, and $1,464,000 to restore the proposed reduction in 
general program activities, for fixed costs, and to restore the 
ABC reduction.
    The Committee is disappointed with the Service's progress 
in developing the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force National 
Asian Carp Management and Control Plan. The Committee 
recognizes that such a plan is an important step toward 
stopping the spread of these invasive fishes, but the Committee 
will no longer support the use of funds for continued plan 
development. Recognizing that the plan is scheduled to be 
completed by May 2006, the Committee has restored the proposed 
reduction for Asian carp control related projects. The Service 
shall use the restored funds for the implementation of the 
highest priority action items identified in the plan for the 
continental United States, in conjunction with partners. The 
Service shall not use the funds for base Service capabilities.
    Marine mammal programs are funded at $4,470,000, an 
increase of $2,027,000 above the budget request. Increases 
include $2,000,000 to restore the Alaska program and $27,000 
for fixed costs and to restore the ABC reduction.
    General Administration.--The Committee recommends 
$156,289,000 for general administration, a decrease of 
$1,710,000 below the budget request.
    There is a decrease of $1,000,000 in central office 
administration to partially offset the cost of restoring the 
proposed activity based cost management [ABC] reduction 
elsewhere throughout Resource Management. The Committee notes 
that the Service used ABC to claim $1,980,000 in administrative 
cost savings in its fiscal year 2007 budget request. The 
Committee supports the use of ABC as an internal management 
tool and the foundation of a performance-based budget; however, 
given how recently the Service initiated ABC and the associated 
challenges that have accompanied this effort, coupled with the 
fact that the Service was the only Interior bureau to claim ABC 
savings in the fiscal year 2007 budget request, the Committee 
questions whether ABC is not being used in this case as a 
budgeting gimmick that forces base programs to absorb further 
reductions that they cannot afford. The Committee requests the 
Government Accountability Office to investigate the Service's 
use of ABC, and to report its findings and recommendations back 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by March 
1, 2007.
    The National Conservation Training Center is funded at 
$18,441,000, a decrease of $730,000 below the budget request. 
Increases include $987,000 for annual maintenance and $83,000 
for fixed costs and to restore the ABC reduction. There is a 
decrease of $1,800,000 for the performance training initiative.
    International affairs programs are funded at $10,014,000, 
an increase of $20,000 above the budget request. Increases 
include $300,000 for the Caddo Lake RAMSAR Center in Texas and 
$20,000 to restore the ABC reduction. There is a decrease of 
$300,000 for the wildlife without borders program.
    The funds provided for the Caddo Lake RAMSAR Center in 
Texas are for conservation and education programs directly 
related to Caddo Lake and may not be used for infrastructure, 
construction-related projects, legal or management fees, or any 
other purposes. The Caddo Lake Institute should work 
cooperatively with Texas A&M University on preparing a program 
of work for fiscal year 2007.

competitive State wildlife grants. The Committee recognizes the 
efforts of the State fish and wildlife agencies, the Service, 
and partner organizations to develop comprehensive State 
wildlife plans and an objective plan approval process. The 
Committee expects that most of the fiscal year 2007 funds for 
State wildlife grants will be for plan implementation instead 
of plan revision. The Service should continue to use the 
National Advisory Acceptance Team process to approve future 
plan revisions in order to ensure that the same standards 
continue to be applied across all States.

                         National Park Service

    Since the creation of Yellowstone National Park in 1872, 
the National Park System has grown to encompass 390 sites 
spanning more than 84 million acres in 49 States, the District 
of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the 
Virgin Islands. The National Park Service, created in 1916, is 
charged with preserving these sites ``unimpaired for the 
enjoyment of future generations.'' The Service and its more 
than 20,000 employees also contribute to the protection of 
other historical, cultural and recreational resources through a 
variety of grant and technical assistance programs.

                 OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM

Appropriations, 2006 (including emergency 
    appropriations).....................................  $1,718,940,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................   1,742,317,000
House allowance.........................................   1,755,317,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,751,040,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The operation of the national park system account is the 
primary source of funding for the national parks, and supports 
the activities, programs and services essential to their day-
to-day operations. It includes base funding for individual park 
units, as well as pooled funding administered at the national 
or regional level for training; repair, preservation and 
rehabilitation of facilities and resources; information 
technology; and a variety of other purposes.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,751,040,000 for operation of 
the National Park System, an increase of $8,723,000 above the 
budget request and an increase of $32,100,000 above the fiscal 
year 2006 enacted level.
    Park Base Increase.--The Committee recommends an additional 
$15,000,000 for park base operations above the budget request, 
which is for across the board increases to all parks.
    Resource Stewardship.--The Committee recommends 
$357,095,000 for resource stewardship, a decrease of $5,352,000 
below the budget request and an increase of $4,176,000 above 
the fiscal year 2006 enacted level. Changes to the budget 
request include increases of $250,000 for the Mammoth Cave 
Center for Science and Learning in Kentucky and $300,000 for 
vanishing treasures, and decreases of $250,000 for a visitor 
services survey, $1,000,000 for vital signs inventory and 
monitoring networks, $750,000 for exotic species management 
teams, $500,000 for the Yellowstone grizzly bear conservation 
strategy which is fully funded in the Fish and Wildlife 
Service, $1,000,000 for inventory and monitoring of historic 
structures and landscapes, and $2,402,000 for air tour 
management plans. Until the Service can work with the Federal 
Aviation Administration to overcome the issues identified in 
the Government Accountability Office report GAO-06-468 and 
fully collect air tour fees, the Committee sees little point in 
investing in new air tour management plans.
    As authorized by Public Law 109-154, the Committee 
encourages the Service to enter into contracts and cooperative 
agreements with qualified youth service or conservation corps 
to cost-effectively perform appropriate conservation projects 
and disaster prevention or relief projects in national parks.
    The Committee directs the Department, in collaboration with 
the United States Department of Agriculture, to work with the 
States of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho to expeditiously complete 
the Memorandum of Understanding regarding bison management at 
Yellowstone National Park. The Committee notes that brucellosis 
has been eradicated elsewhere in the United States, and urges 
the Department to increase its focus on eradication of the 
disease in the Greater Yellowstone area. Attempts to shift the 
focus towards disease management, rather than eradication, or 
to create buffer zones around the park, should be rejected by 
the Department.
    Visitor Services.--The Committee recommends $343,837,000 
for visitor services, a decrease of $977,000 below the budget 
request and $2,867,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted 
level. There is an increase of $375,000 for George Washington 
Carver NHS outreach programs. Health and safety programs are 
funded at $16,590,000, concessions management is funded at 
$10,124,000.
    It is the sense of the Committee's that the administration 
request regarding fees and access to national parks by filming 
crews should reconsider the differences in news reporting as 
opposed to commercial filming. Exemptions for live feeds and 
immediate broadcasts are made in the rule governing special use 
fees, but often the remote nature of national parks makes these 
exemptions meaningless. The Committee requests a review of the 
policy and a report on how it can be more meaningfully applied 
within 90 days of enactment.
    Facility Operations and Maintenance.--The Committee 
recommends $603,119,000 for facility operations and 
maintenance, an increase of $1,319,000 above the budget request 
and $10,045,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level. 
Changes to the budget request include a decrease of $1,831,000 
for cyclic maintenance and an increase of $3,150,000 for repair 
and rehabilitation to implement high priority projects in the 
Service's 5-year deferred maintenance and capital improvement 
plan, including $600,000 for the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace 
NHS, $295,000 for Ford's Theatre, $135,000 for fences at 
Gettysburg NMP for a total of $350,000, $250,000 for the George 
Washington Carver NHS for a total of $340,000, $325,000 for the 
Harry S. Truman NHS for a total of $495,000, $400,000 for 
repair of historic windows and masonry at the Keweenaw NHP, 
$370,000 for the Martin Luther King, Jr. NHS, $500,000 for the 
Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi, and $275,000 for the 
Sewall-Belmont House NHS.
    Park Support.--The Committee recommends $297,910,000 for 
park support, a decrease of $280,000 below the budget request 
and an increase of $303,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted 
level. Changes to the budget request include an increase of 
$30,000 for the Roosevelt Campobello International Park and a 
decrease of $310,000 for oversight of the partnership program, 
which is funded in the construction account.
    External Administrative Costs.--The Committee recommends 
$134,079,000 for external administrative costs, a decrease of 
$987,000 from the budget request and an increase of $5,443,000 
above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level.

    The Committee recommends $1,625,000 to continue the 
Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network [CBGN], the National Park 
Service's principal program to assist in the conservation and 
stewardship of Chesapeake Bay. Since fiscal year 2000, this 
Committee has provided $11,000,000 for this initiative, of 
which $3,800,000 has been allocated for developing a network-
wide strategic plan, interpretive planning, water trail 
planning and development, heritage tourism development, and 
stewardship capacity building and $7,200,000 has been allocated 
for matching grants to State and local governments and not-for-
profit organizations. These grants have supported 190 projects 
to improve public access, enhance public education and 
interpretation, and conserve the many natural, cultural and 
historical resources at more than 150 sites within five of the 
six States in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The Committee notes 
that the Department's Inspector General has recently completed 
a report which commends the National Park Service for taking 
positive steps to improve the management of the grants program 
and recommends two further actions to put all grants on a 
reasonable and documented time frame for completion and to 
ensure compliance with OMB grant guidelines. The Committee 
urges the Service to swiftly implement these recommendations. 
To further ensure that the program is managed in a way that 
meets its statutory goals in the most efficient manner 
possible, the Committee encourages the program managers to 
begin discussions with the National Fish and Wildlife 
Foundation in order to coordinate and further leverage the CBGN 
grants program with the Foundation's other grant programs.

    The Historic Preservation Fund was established in the 
National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 to provide grant 
assistance to States, territories, and tribes to aid in the 
preservation of historical sites and cultural heritage. A 
portion of these funds are used by State Historic Preservation 
Offices to operate national programs such as the National 
Register of Historic Places and the Section 106 review process, 
as well as to provide technical assistance and to make matching 
grants to local communities for preservation projects. This 
appropriation has also supported a variety of targeted programs 
at the national level designed to achieve historic preservation 
goals.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $70,658,000 for the historic 
preservation fund, a decrease of $1,200,000 below the budget 
request and $1,514,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted 
level, not including emergency appropriations.
    The Committee recommendation provides $35,717,000 for 
grants-in-aid to States and territories and $3,941,000 for 
grants-in-aid to tribes, the same as the budget request and the 
fiscal year 2006 enacted level. Grants-in-aid to historically 
black colleges and universities are funded at $1,000,000.
    The Committee has rejected the budget proposal to reduce by 
50 percent the heritage partnership program and include it 
along with Save America's Treasures and Preserve America under 
the historic preservation fund. Heritage areas are funded, as 
in previous years, under National Recreation and Preservation.
    Grants-in-aid to Save America's Treasures are funded at 
$30,000,000, of which $10,000,000 is available for Preserve 
America. The Committee recommends the following allocation for 
Save America's Treasures grants:

    The Committee supports the planning and mapping of the El 
Camino Real de los Tejas National Trail, included in the budget 
request. The Committee supports the Service's plans to rebuild 
the administrative and visitor contact facility on Kanuti 
National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska.
    The Committee is concerned with the funding and personnel 
reductions proposed for the Harpers Ferry Center. The Committee 
understands that changing technology requires the Service to 
periodically reevaluate the goals and objectives of its various 
offices and programs, but it appears that the Center's mission 
is being developed around a preordained budget as opposed to 
building a budget request around the needs of the Service. The 
Committee does not, therefore, approve of the proposed 
reductions and directs the Service to report back to the 
Committee no later than January 1, 2007 with a multi-year plan 
for Harpers Ferry Center.

                    LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $30,000,000 in 
annual contract authority provided by 16 U.S.C. 460l-10a. This 
authority has not been used in recent years and there are no 
plans to use it in fiscal year 2007.

                 LAND ACQUISITION AND STATE ASSISTANCE

Committee recommendation................................      63,393,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The land acquisition and State assistance appropriation 
supports the acquisition of lands and interests in lands to 
preserve historical and natural sites, primarily for inclusion 
in the national park system. This account also provides funding 
for the State Assistance program (``Stateside''), which was 
authorized in the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act to 
support recreation development and recreation-related land 
acquisition by State and local governments.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $63,393,000 for land acquisition 
and State assistance, an increase of $39,050,000 above the 
budget request and $16,439,000 above the fiscal year 2006 
enacted level.

    Of the funds provided for civil war battlefields, 
$1,000,000 is directed toward the purchase of the Civil War 
Preservation Trust's highest priority, the Slaughter Pen Farm 
at the Battle of Fredericksburg, and $500,000 is for the 
purchase of the Lone Jack Battlefield in Missouri.
    The Committee is aware of an ongoing land acquisition 
project at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park in 
Kentucky and recommends $640,000 in fiscal year 2007 toward 
this effort. The Committee remains very supportive of this 
project and hopes that the National Park Service will continue 
to acquire available property from willing sellers.

                          ENERGY AND MINERALS

                         U.S. Geological Survey

    Established in 1879, the U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] 
serves as the Earth and natural science research bureau for the 
Department of the Interior and is the only integrated natural 
resources research bureau in the Federal Government. The Survey 
conducts research, monitoring, and assessments to contribute to 
understanding America's lands, water, and biological resources. 
Its research and data products support the Department's 
resource and land management needs and also provide the water, 
biological, energy, and mineral resources information needed by 
other Federal, State, tribal and local government agencies to 
guide planning, management, and regulatory programs. More than 
9,000 scientists, technicians, and support staff of the USGS 
are located in nearly 400 offices in every state and in several 
foreign countries throughout the world. The USGS leverages its 
resources and expertise in partnership with more than 200 
agencies of Federal, State, local, and tribal governments; the 
academic community; non-governmental organizations; and the 
private sector.

                 SURVEYS, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESEARCH

Appropriations, 2006 (including emergency 
    appropriations).....................................    $980,845,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     944,760,000
House allowance.........................................     986,447,000
Committee recommendation................................     979,997,000

    The Committee recommends $979,997,000 for surveys, 
investigations and research activities of the U.S. Geological 
Survey, an amount that is $18,322,000 above the fiscal year 
2006 enacted level (excluding emergency appropriations), 
$35,237,000 above the budget request and a reduction of 
$6,450,000 from the House allowance. The table at the back of 
the report displays the proposed allocation of funding among 
the Survey's various activities.
    Geographic Research, Investigations and Remote Sensing.--
The Committee recommends $78,614,000 for Geographic Research, 
Investigations and Remote Sensing, an increase of $2,000,000 
above the budget request. Changes to the budget request include 
an increase of $2,300,000 to restore funds for ongoing 
geographic research and a reduction of $300,000 for a proposed 
multihazards initiative. In agreement with the request, the 
Committee has transferred $64,301,000 to the Enterprise 
Information activity where cooperative topographic mapping 
functions will now be carried out. Also in agreement with the 
budget request, the Committee has accepted the proposal to 
rename the geography program to better reflect the 
reorganization of mapping activities within the Survey. The 
Committee understands that in part the reorganization is 
intended to provide a greater emphasis on geographic research 
as recommended by the National Research Council. With this key 
goal underscored by the USGS in its budget request, it makes no 
sense to the Committee that the Survey then proposes a 
$2,300,000 reduction to ongoing research projects and a 21 FTE 
reduction-in-force [RIF]. The Committee further notes that no 
plan is included in the request outlining what, if any, 
resources would be required to conduct such a RIF. For these 
reasons, the Committee has restored the proposed decrease and 
expects ongoing research activities and staff levels to be 
maintained at the current level.
    Geology.--The Committee recommends $239,261,000 for the 
geology program, an increase of $3,975,000 above the current 
year enacted level and $21,843,000 above the budget request. 
Changes to the request include decreases of $700,000 for a 
proposed multihazards initiative and $1,000,000 for a data 
collection and preservation proposal and increases of $600,000 
for the Alaska Volcano Observatory and $22,943,000 to restore 
base funds to the minerals resources program. The Committee has 
provided the requested increase of $500,000 to expand the study 
of gas hydrates on the north slope of Alaska that was initiated 
in fiscal year 2006. The budget request includes base funding 
of $450,000 for the Hawaii Volcano Observatory-University of 
Hawaii, Hilo collaborative partnership. The Committee expects 
that $200,000 of that amount will be used to acquire and 
install upgraded monitoring equipment on Mauna Loa, as well as 
provide additional technical support.
    As noted above, the Committee has restored funding for the 
minerals resources program to its current level. Proposals to 
eliminate or reduce these activities have been rejected in the 
past and continue to have no merit in the Committee's view. 
Within the funds restored for the minerals resources program, 
the Committee expects the Survey to dedicate an additional 
$1,000,000 to the external grants program to provide a total of 
$2,000,000 for this activity.
    Within the coastal and marine geology program, the 
Committee encourages the Survey to continue its significant 
research investment in the southern Louisiana area in support 
of both State and Federal agency coastal restoration planning 
efforts. The Survey's activities in the gulf coast are all the 
more critical in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and both 
its research activities and collaborative efforts with partners 
such as the University of New Orleans should be continued and 
enhanced to the extent possible within current budget levels.
    The Committee notes the important role that the Survey's 
energy resource assessments serve to foster the exploration and 
development of our Nation's energy supplies. The Committee is 
aware that unpublished Survey research may indicate the 
potential for sizeable unrecovered energy resources in the 
Bakken Shale formation of the Williston Basin. The Committee 
also understands that the Survey is planning to initiate work 
on its formal Williston Basin energy resource assessment in 
fiscal year 2007 for completion in late 2007 or early 2008. An 
up-to-date resource assessment of the Williston Basin is 
critical to better address our Nation's future energy needs. 
The Committee expects the Survey to expedite its efforts to 
complete and publish its resource assessment of the Williston 
Basin as soon as practicable.
    Water Resources Investigations.--The Committee recommends 
$216,771,000 for water resources investigations, an increase of 
$12,724,000 above the budget request. Changes to the request 
include increases of $500,000 to restore funding for the 
Memphis aquifer study, $280,000 to restore funding for the 
Ozark aquifer study, $940,000 to restore the proposed base 
reduction to the NAWQA program; $600,000 to restore funding for 
the Long-Term Estuary Assessment Group [LEAG]; $900,000 to 
continue the coalbed methane study of the Tongue River 
watershed, $1,000,000 to expand the Hawaii well drilling and 
monitoring program; $300,000 for ongoing monitoring activities 
on Lake Champlain; $2,000,000 to restore base funds to the 
cooperative water program; and $6,404,000 to restore the water 
resources research institutes program, which was proposed for 
elimination. A decrease of $200,000 has been taken for a 
proposed multihazards initiative. The increase provided for 
Lake Champlain is intended to be in addition to the $157,000 in 
base funding included in the budget request to fund these 
activities at a total amount of $457,000.
    The Committee notes the importance of ongoing water 
availability research in the Great Valley of West Virginia as 
the region's rapid population growth and proximity to major 
metropolitan areas continues to increase demand for groundwater 
resources. The Committee urges the Survey to continue efforts 
to develop comprehensive data on the region's water 
availability and provide current data and technical assistance 
to State and local stakeholders so they are better able to 
manage their water resources.
    Biological Research.--The Committee recommends an amount of 
$176,547,000 for biological research activities, an increase of 
$3,950,000 above the budget request. Changes to the request 
include increases of $800,000 to continue molecular biology 
work at the Leetown Science Center; $200,000 to complete a 
multidisciplinary water study at the Leetown Science Center; 
$350,000 to complete research on the Mark Twain National 
Forest; $500,000 to restore base funds for wildlife, 
terrestrial and endangered resources activities; $300,000 to 
complete the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem study; 
$200,000 to restore the Fish and Wildlife Service Science 
Excellence program; $900,000 to initiate monitoring and 
research in the San Francisco Salt Ponds; and $2,000,000 to 
restore base funds to the National Biological Information 
Infrastructure. Decreases include $1,000,000 for NatureServe 
and $300,000 for a proposed multihazards initiative. Within 
base funds, $1,000,000 is continued for invasive species 
research in collaboration with Mississippi State University.
    Enterprise Information.--The Committee recommends 
$105,950,000 for Enterprise Information activities, a reduction 
of $5,280,000 below the budget request. Decreases to the 
request include $680,000 for a proposed multihazards initiative 
and $4,600,000 for the Federal Geographic Data Committee [FGDC] 
to maintain that entity at its current level of $4,600,000. No 
rationale for this increase was provided in the budget request.
    Language has been included in the bill precluding the use 
of funds to competitively source functions of the National 
Geospatial Technical Operations Center unless the staff at the 
Mid-Continent Mapping Center in Rolla, Missouri is allowed the 
opportunity to compete in the process as a Federal Most 
Efficient Organization. The Committee expects that a fair and 
open competition will be held and that both the Rolla, Missouri 
and Denver, Colorado sites will receive funds and support to 
fully, effectively, and fairly compete in the A-76 process.
    Science Support.--The Committee recommends $67,382,000 for 
Science Support, an amount that meets the budget request.
    Facilities.--The Committee recommends $95,472,000 for 
Facilities, an amount that meets the request.
    Other.--The Committee has not provided funds to support the 
multihazards initiative proposed in the budget request. The 
Survey requested an increase of $2,180,000 to implement this 
initiative and proposed to redirect $3,700,000 from within base 
program budgets to support this work. In most instances, the 
projects to be discontinued are not specifically identified in 
the budget request. The Committee will consider funding the 
initiative within the fiscal year 2007 base, provided the 
Survey comes back to the Committee with a reprogramming that 
identifies specific projects and programs that are proposed to 
be stopped or continued in a diminished capacity that is 
defensible.
    The Committee reminds the Survey that any planned 
reinvestment of savings achieved in a given fiscal year by 
downsizing of staff through buyouts and reductions in force 
should be submitted to the Committee in the form of a 
reprogramming. Similarly, the Committee expects the Survey to 
adhere to the reprogramming guidelines regarding advance 
notification of proposed reorganizations. In the recent past, 
the Committee has been informed of the Survey's plans only 
after an announcement has been made or a press release issued. 
The Survey is expected to consult with the Committee before any 
planning process concludes rather than providing it with press 
release after the fact.

                      Minerals Management Service

    The Minerals Management Service oversees 1.76 billion acres 
of the Outer Continental Shelf [OCS], managing offshore energy 
and minerals while protecting the human, marine, and coastal 
environments through advanced science and technology research. 
The OCS provides 30 percent of oil and 23 percent of natural 
gas produced domestically, and sand used for coastal 
restoration. Also within MMS, the Minerals Revenue Management 
[MRM] program collects, accounts for, and disburses revenues 
from mineral leases on OCS, Federal, and American Indian lands. 
Through the work of MRM, MMS processes over 500,000 mineral 
revenue transactions per month from more then 26,000 producing 
leases, and it manages over $8,000,000,000 of mineral revenues 
collected annually.
    Since its inception in 1982, MMS has collected and 
distributed more than $156,000,000,000 in revenues from onshore 
and offshore lands. In fiscal year 2005 alone, disbursements 
totaled nearly $10,000,000,000. The MMS distribution of mineral 
revenues to the U.S. Treasury is one of the Federal 
Government's greatest sources of non-tax income.

                ROYALTY AND OFFSHORE MINERALS MANAGEMENT

Appropriations, 2006 (including emergency 
    appropriations).....................................    $182,391,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     156,651,000
House allowance.........................................     157,496,000
Committee recommendation................................     156,551,000

    The Committee recommends $156,551,000 for royalty and 
offshore minerals management, which is a decrease of 
$25,840,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level (including 
emergency appropriations), $100,000 below the budget request, 
and $945,000 below the House recommended funding level. This 
includes an estimated $128,730,000 in offsetting collections, 
which is an increase of $6,000,000 above the previous year. The 
funding amounts set out below are at the activity level. 
Additional details on funding for sub-activities for the 
Service are set out in a table in the back of this report.

    The Committee has fully funded the budget request for 
establishing an alternate energy program on the OCS, as 
directed by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Offshore activities 
such as wind energy, ocean energy, and geothermal energy will 
increase as a result of this program's establishment.
    Within the funds for the leasing and environmental program 
in the Outer Continental Shelf lands activity, the Committee 
has provided $150,000 for the Alaska Whaling Commission to 
ensure that proposed OCS sales in Alaska properly consider the 
impacts of off-shore drilling on the whale migration patterns 
and whaling activities.
    The Committee has not funded the $1,000,000 MMS portion of 
the new methane hydrates research program described in the 
request, and expects the Department to initiate the program 
with the funds provided by the BLM and USGS. The Committee has 
provided $900,000 for the Center for Marine Resources and 
Environmental Technology to support exploration and sustainable 
development of seabed minerals, including methane hydrates.

                           OIL SPILL RESEARCH

Committee recommendation................................       6,903,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,903,000 for 
oil spill research, which is equal to the fiscal year 2006 
enacted level, the budget request and the House recommended 
funding level.

          Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement

    The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement 
[OSM] was established in 1977 to oversee and carry out the 
requirements of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act 
[SMCRA] in concert with States and Indian tribes. OSM's primary 
objectives are to ensure coal mining activities are conducted 
in a manner that protects citizens and the environment during 
mining, ensure the land is properly reclaimed, and mitigate 
effects of past mining by reclaiming abandoned coal mines. OSM 
addresses its mission with a mix of grants to States and Tribes 
to carry out their own regulatory and reclamation programs, and 
the administration of OSM's own regulatory and reclamation 
programs.
    SMCRA originally authorized the collection of tonnage fees 
on mined coal to support reclamation work through September 30, 
2004. Several short term extensions of this authority have been 
enacted pending congressional action on comprehensive SMCRA 
reauthorization legislation, the most recent of which extended 
SMCRA until September 30, 2007.

    Bill Language.--As in prior years, the bill includes 
language related to the conduct of the abandoned mine land 
program. The Committee also has recommended language which 
would fund minimum program State grants at $1,500,000 per 
State, as well as language which provides $10,000,000 to be 
used for projects in the Appalachian clean streams initiative.
    The Committee also has included language specific to the 
State of Maryland authorizing the State to set aside for acid 
mine drainage abatement the greater of $1,000,000 or 10 percent 
of the total of the grants made available to the State under 
title IV of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 
1977, subject to specific provisions identified in the bill 
language.

                             INDIAN AFFAIRS

                        Bureau of Indian Affairs

    The Bureau of Indian Affairs [BIA] was founded in 1824 to 
uphold a government-to-government relationship between the 
Federal Government and tribal entities. The Federal Government 
retained trust responsibility for individual Indians and tribes 
as a result of formal treaties and agreements with Native 
Americans.
    The Bureau provides services directly or through contracts, 
grants, or compacts to a population of 1.5 million American 
Indians and Alaska Natives who are members of 562 federally 
recognized Indian tribes in the lower 48 States and Alaska. 
Programs administered by the BIA and Tribes include an 
education system for almost 48,000 elementary and secondary 
students; 28 tribal colleges, universities and post secondary 
schools; social services; natural resource management on 56 
million acres of trust land; economic development; law 
enforcement; administration of tribal courts; implementation of 
land and water claim settlements; replacement and repair of 
schools; repair and maintenance of roads and bridges; and 
repair of structural deficiencies on high hazard dams.

                      OPERATION OF INDIAN PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2006....................................  $1,962,190,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................   1,966,594,000
House allowance.........................................   1,973,403,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,005,538,000

    The Committee recommends $2,005,538,000 for the operation 
of Indian programs, an increase of $43,348,000 over the fiscal 
year 2006 enacted level, an increase of $38,944,000 over the 
budget request, and $32,135,000 above the House recommendation. 
The following table provides a comparison of the budget 
estimate and Committee recommendations in the major 
programmatic areas:

    Additional details on the funding for the Bureau's 
activities are provided in a table in the back of this report.
    The BIA has proposed a new budget structure for fiscal year 
2007, with which the Committee concurs.
    Tribal Government.--The Committee recommends $397,738,000 
for tribal government support, which is $23,049,000 more than 
the enacted level and $4,000,000 below the request level. The 
Committee has funded a $15,000,000 increase in contract support 
costs.
    Human Services.--The Committee recommends $145,385,000 for 
human services, which is $5,031,000 below the enacted level and 
$6,000,000 above the budget request and the House allowance. 
The increase is for welfare assistance.
    Trust--Natural Resources Management.--The Committee 
recommends $150,810,000 for resources management, which is 
$1,944,000 below the enacted level and $8,300,000 above the 
budget request. Within the Rights Protection Implementation 
subactivity, there is a $1,000,000 increase to continue the 
Washington State Timber-Fish-Wildlife Project. Increases above 
the budget request in the Tribal Management subactivity include 
$2,700,000 for the Intertribal Bison Cooperative, $300,000 for 
the Chugach Regional Resources Commission, $450,000 for the 
Bering Sea Fishermen's Association, $400,000 for Lake Roosevelt 
Management, $400,000 for Upper Columbia United Tribes, $600,000 
for the Circle of Flight wetland and waterfowl enhancement 
initiative, and $450,000 for Cheyenne River Sioux Prairie 
Management. The Committee supports the inclusion of $316,000 
for the Alaska Native subsistence program in the budget 
request. The Committee recommends a $2,000,000 increase for 
Water Resources, for water management and planning. Within the 
increase, $200,000 is for operation and maintenance of the Fort 
Peck Reservation Tribal Water System. The Committee 
recommendation includes funding for implementation of the 
Energy Policy Act of 2005 as presented in the budget request.
    Trust--Real Estate Services.--The Committee recommends 
$150,649,000 for real estate services, which is $2,000,000 
below the budget request and $944,000 below the House 
allowance. The decrease below the budget request is from 
cadastral surveys.
    Education.--The Committee recommends $664,805,000 for 
education programs, which is $18,375,000 above the enacted 
level, $25,650,000 above the budget request, and $12,591,000 
above the House allowance. In Elementary and Secondary 
Education, there is a decrease of $3,211,000 from ISEP program 
adjustments and an increase of $3,211,000 in Early Childhood 
development to restore the reduction proposed in the budget 
request. The Committee has also restored $14,371,000 for 
Johnson-O'Malley assistance grants. Increases in Post Secondary 
programs above the budget request include $5,279,000 for Tribal 
Colleges and Universities, $4,000,000 for United Tribes 
Technical College, and $2,000,000 for Crownpoint Institute of 
Technology.
    The Committee strongly supports the goals and achievements 
of the United Tribes Technical College and Crownpoint Institute 
of Technology. The Committee also believes the administration 
should recognize the importance of these technical colleges and 
their valuable contribution to post-secondary education, and 
work with both institutions to include funding for their 
operations in future budget requests.
    Public Safety and Justice.--The recommended level for 
public safety is $214,873,000, which is $2,731,000 above the 
enacted level, $1,144,000 above the request, and $5,338,000 
above the House allowance. The increase above the budget 
request is to restore the fire protection program.
    Community and Economic Development.--The Committee's 
recommendation for community and economic development is 
$43,525,000, which is $8,257,000 below the enacted level, and 
$4,350,000 above both the budget request and House allowance. 
Increases above the request include $650,000 to continue the 
rural Alaska fire program, $1,200,000 for student housing at 
Salish Kootenai College, $1,200,000 for the Western Heritage 
Center Tribal Histories Project, $100,000 for the Alaska Sea 
Otter Commission, and $1,200,000 to improve nursing programs at 
Oglala Lakota College and Salish Kootenai College.
    Executive Direction and Administration.--The Committee 
recommends $237,753,000 for executive direction and 
administration, which is $500,000 below the budget request and 
the House allowance. The decrease is in Assistant Secretary 
support.

                              CONSTRUCTION

Appropriations, 2006....................................    $271,582,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     215,049,000
House allowance.........................................     215,799,000
Committee recommendation................................     221,459,000

    The Committee recommends $221,459,000 for construction, 
which is $6,410,000 over the budget request. The Committee 
notes the request is $56,533,000 below the fiscal year 2006 
enacted level and $125,000,000 below the amount provided by the 
Committee as recently as fiscal year 2004.
    In order to restore funding that was cut from other 
education programs in the request, the Committee has 
reluctantly accepted the administration's request. However, it 
will not countenance the unsubstantiated explanations offered 
in the supporting budget documents for these large program 
cuts. These reductions are not being adopted because the 
replacement school construction program needs ``to focus on 
building schools that have already been funded,'' or because 
the facilities improvement and repair program needs ``to catch 
up with completion of construction projects that have already 
been funded.'' To offer such poor justifications are nothing 
more than an insult to the Bureau's project management 
personnel. The Committee expects more robust requests in the 
future that adequately address Indian school construction 
needs.
    The fact is that over the past several years the Bureau has 
wisely used the additional funding made available to it by the 
Congress and done a good job of reversing the sad state of BIA-
run schools. Whereas two-thirds of these facilities were in 
poor condition in 2001, by the time current projects are 
completed the number of schools listed in poor condition will 
have been reduced to approximately one-third. Fixing these 
facilities when they are able to be fixed, and replacing them 
when they are not, is the only sure way to ensure that no 
Native American child will be left behind.
    The addition above the request is for Indian irrigation 
rehabilitation within resources management construction. Indian 
irrigation programs under BIA's management, which were the 
subject of a recent Government Accountability Office report, 
are too often found to be in deteriorating and even failing 
condition. Progress has been made in assessing the condition 
and needed repairs of systems, but more work needs to be done 
to efficiently repair and operate those much-needed systems. To 
continue work begun in fiscal year 2006, $6,410,000 is 
recommended for irrigation improvements. Of this amount, 
$1,500,000 is for the Wind River Irrigation Project, and 
$2,000,000 for irrigation planning by the Blackfeet and Fort 
Belknap Tribes. The remainder should be divided between the 
projects initiated in 2006, according to their ability to make 
significant improvement with the available funds. As in 2006, 
the Department should report to the Committee with its proposed 
work plan before distributing funds.

INDIAN LAND AND WATER CLAIMS SETTLEMENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS PAYMENTS TO 
                                INDIANS

Appropriations, 2006....................................     $34,243,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................      33,946,000
House allowance.........................................      39,213,000
Committee recommendation................................      39,213,000

    The Committee recommends $39,123,000 for Indian land and 
water claims settlements and miscellaneous payments to Indians, 
which is an increase of $4,970,000 above the fiscal year 2006 
enacted level, $5,267,000 above the budget request, and equal 
to the House allowance. Funding is provided as follows:

      Total, Miscellaneous Payments to Indians...............       33,946,000       39,213,000       +5,267,000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The budget proposed that the Nez Perce settlement be funded 
in three different agency budgets, BIA, BLM, and USFWS. The 
Committee has consolidated those into miscellaneous payments, 
which is reflected here. Of the $20,041,000 for the Nez Perce/
Snake River settlement, $200,000 is for mitigation of BLM land 
transfers and $4,917,000 is for the Idaho Salmon and Clearwater 
River Basins Habitat Account.

                 INDIAN GUARANTEED LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2006....................................      $6,255,000

House allowance.........................................       6,262,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,262,000

    The Committee recommends $6,262,000 for the Indian 
guaranteed loan program, an increase of $7,000 over the fiscal 
year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request and 
the House recommended funding level.

                          Departmental Offices

                            Insular Affairs

    The Office of Insular Affairs [OIA] was established on 
August 4, 1995 through Secretarial Order No. 3191, which also 
abolished the former Office of Territorial and International 
Affairs. OIA has administrative responsibility for coordinating 
Federal policy in the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the 
U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands, and oversight of Federal programs and funds in 
the freely associated states of the Federated States of 
Micronesia [FSM], the Republic of the Marshall Islands [RMI], 
and the Republic of Palau.
    Following the expiration of the first Compact of Free 
Association in 2003, a new Compact of Free Association was 
negotiated between the United States and the states of FSM and 
RMI. Under the Compact, the status of free association 
recognizes each Freely Associated State as a sovereign state 
with the capacity to conduct foreign affairs consistent with 
the terms of the Compact. The Compact places full 
responsibility for defense with the United States. The Compact 
also provides grant funds and Federal program assistance, 
principally through the Department of the Interior.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Territorial Assistance.--The Committee recommends 
$25,881,000 for territorial assistance which is $2,120,000 
above the request and $321,000 above the enacted level.
    Within the increase above the request, the Committee 
provides $320,000 to maintain the Continuing Judicial, Court 
Education, and Court Administration Improvement Project that is 
conducted in cooperation with the Pacific Islands Committee of 
the Judicial Council of the Ninth Court.
    The Committee has also included a $1,000,000 increase above 
the request for continuation of the healthcare programs under 
Article II, Section I, of the Agreement between the Government 
of the United States and the Government of the Marshall Islands 
for implementation of section 177 of the Compact of Free 
Association. These funds shall be used to provide primary 
healthcare to members of the Enewetak, Bikini, Rogelap, and 
Utrik communities who currently reside on Enewetak Atoll, Kili 
Island, Mejetto Island, Rongelap Atoll following resettlement, 
and Utrik Atoll. Such primary medical care shall consist of a 
clinic with at least one doctor and an assistant, necessary 
supplies, and logistical support.
    The Committee is encouraged by recent progress with the 
Prior Service Trust Fund and reiterates its support for the 
agreement among the pension systems of the Republic of Palau, 
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands [CNMI], the 
Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of 
Micronesia to assume responsibilities for the enrollees of the 
Prior Service Benefits Trust Fund. The Committee recommends an 
increase of $800,000 for distribution among the pension systems 
for payments to the enrollees, provided that the agreement is 
fully implemented by each jurisdiction. The Committee directs 
that this funding shall be reprogrammed for general technical 
assistance uses if there is a failure to implement fully the 
transfer of Prior Services Trust fund management to the insular 
nations and territorial governments.
    American Samoa Operations Grants/American Samoa 
Construction.--The Committee recommends $22,880,000 for 
operations grants to American Samoa, which is equal to the 
request and $110,000 more than the enacted level.
    CNMI/Covenant Grants.--The Committee recommends $27,720,000 
for convenant grants as proposed in the request.

                        Departmental Management

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2006....................................    $130,238,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     118,845,000
House allowance.........................................      94,503,000
Committee recommendation................................     118,845,000

management, a decrease of $11,393,000 below the fiscal year

$24,342,000 above the House allowance.
    The Committee does not support the Department's continued 
effort to turn over responsibility for the three Indian museums 
operated by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board to other entities. 
Funding is provided within the IACB budget to maintain the 
Federal contribution to the operation of these museums at the 
enacted level for fiscal year 2007. The Committee expects the 
Department to maintain its commitment to these museums in 
future budget submissions.
    The Committee is concerned with the growing costs and 
delays associated with implementing the Financial and Business 
Management System [FBMS] for all the bureaus within the 
Department. The Department recently changed the contractor that 
was hired to implement the system. The Committee expects to be 
kept fully apprised of the ongoing work on FBMS and whether 
there are any further problems with implementation of the 
system.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,923,000 for 
the central hazardous materials fund, which is $213,000 above 
the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, equal the budget request, 
and the House allowance. Language has been included in the bill 
providing permanent authority for the expenditure of certain 
sums recovered by the Department for remedial action or 
response activities.

                        Office of the Solicitor

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2006....................................     $54,624,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................      56,755,000
House allowance.........................................      56,755,000
Committee recommendation................................      56,755,000

    The Committee recommends $56,755,000 for the Office of the 
Solicitor, the same as the budget request, and an increase of 
$2,131,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level.
    The Committee expects the Office of the Solicitor to 
provide high quality legal services to the Department and the 
bureaus. The Committee is concerned that the Solicitor's Office 
has not invested in contemporary, automated tools commonly used 
to manage work in the legal profession that could help to 
ensure accountability and to increase employees' capacities and 
productivity. The Committee is also concerned that this failure 
has been exacerbated by the inability of the Office to utilize 
widely available internet-based research and training tools 
that foster integration and enhance capacities. Therefore, 
within 100 days of enactment, the Solicitor shall deliver to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a report 
explaining the management challenges the Office currently faces 
and a plan for the use of automated tools to ensure that the 
Office of the Solicitor becomes more functionally integrated 
and results oriented. The plan shall include the cost of 
implementation and future savings and cost avoidance for 
solutions to those challenges. This plan shall also address 
other means for improving efficiencies in the Office such as 
organizational alignment.

Budget estimate, 2007...................................      40,699,000
House allowance.........................................      39,688,000
Committee recommendation................................      39,688,000

    The Committee recommends $39,688,000 for the Office of 
Inspector General, a decrease of $1,011,000 below the budget 
request, and an increase of $1,147,000 above the fiscal year 
2006 enacted level. Decreases from the budget request include 
$721,000 for audits and $290,000 for administrative services 
and information management.

             Office of Special Trustee for American Indians

    The Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians 
holds responsibility for approximately 56 million acres of 
land, with over 10 million acres belonging to individual 
Indians and 46 millions acres held in trust for Indian Tribes. 
On these lands the Department of the Interior manages over 
100,000 leases for individual Indians and tribes. Leasing, use 
permits, land sale revenue, and interest totaling approximately 
$302,000,000 per year are collected for 277,000 individual 
Indian money accounts. $518,000,000 per year is collected in 
1,450 tribal accounts serving 300 tribes. Additionally, the 
trust manages approximately $2,900,000,000 in tribal funds and 
$420,000,000 in individual Indian funds.

                         FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2006....................................    $188,774,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     185,036,000
House allowance.........................................     150,036,000
Committee recommendation................................     178,683,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $178,683,000 
for Federal trust programs, which is $10,091,000 below the 
enacted level, $6,353,000 below the request level, and 
$28,647,000 above the House recommendation.
    Within program operations, historical accounting is funded 
at $50,000,000. The Committee fully recognizes the importance 
of improving Indian trust management and historical accounting, 
but regrettably is unable to fund the full amount requested in 
order to maintain other high priority services and programs in 
Indian Country. The Committee also recognizes that efforts are 
underway between the parties to the Cobell v. Norton lawsuit 
and the authorizing Committees to settle the suit 
legislatively.

                   INDIAN LAND CONSOLIDATION PROJECT

Appropriations, 2006....................................     $34,006,000

House allowance.........................................      34,006,000
Committee recommendation................................      39,150,000

    The Committee recommends $39,150,000 for the Indian land 
consolidation program, which is $5,144,000 greater than the 
fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the House recommended 
funding level, and $20,299,000 below the budget request.
    In addition to those most highly fractionated lands 
identified in the budget request, the Committee expects the 
Department to continue its fiscal year 2006 land consolidation 
partnerships, and for those tribes that have contributed tribal 
funds towards land consolidation the levels should be no less 
than the funding provided during fiscal year 2006.

           Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration

    The mission of the natural resource damage assessment and 
restoration program is to restore natural resources injured as 
a result of oil spills or hazardous substance releases into the 
environment. As authorized in the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act [CERCLA], the Clean 
Water Act, and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, injuries to 
natural resources that the Department of the Interior manages 
or controls are assessed and appropriate restoration projects 
are identified. Recoveries from potentially responsible 
parties, either through negotiated settlements or legal 
actions, are used to finance restoration of the injured 
resources. The Restoration Program Office coordinates the 
various technical, scientific, legal, and economic aspects of 
this work, as well as the various departmental bureaus and 
offices involved.

                NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT FUND

Appropriations, 2006....................................      $6,016,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................       6,109,000

                                TITLE II

                    ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

                          Program Description

    The Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] was created 
through Executive Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970, designed 
to consolidate certain Federal Government environmental 
activities into a single agency. The plan was submitted by the 
President to the Congress on July 8, 1970, and the Agency was 
established as an independent agency in the executive branch on 
December 2, 1970, by consolidating 15 components from 5 
departments and independent agencies.
    A description of EPA's pollution control programs by media 
follows:
    Air.--The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 authorize a 
national program of air pollution research, regulation, 
prevention, and enforcement activities.
    Water Quality.--The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as 
amended, provides the framework for protection of the Nation's 
surface waters. The law recognizes that it is the primary 
responsibility of the States to prevent, reduce, and eliminate 
water pollution. The States determine the desired uses for 
their waters, set standards, identify current uses and, where 
uses are being impaired or threatened, develop plans for the 
protection or restoration of the designated use. They implement 
the plans through control programs such as permitting and 
enforcement, construction of municipal waste water treatment 
works, and nonpoint source control practices. The CWA also 
regulates discharge of dredge or fill material into waters of 
the United States, including wetlands.
    Drinking Water.--The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, as 
amended in 1996, charges EPA with the responsibility of 
implementing a program to assure that the Nation's public 
drinking water supplies are free of contamination that may pose 
a human health risk, and to protect and prevent the 
endangerment of ground water resources which serve as drinking 
water supplies.
    Hazardous Waste.--The Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act of 1976 mandated EPA to develop a regulatory program to 
protect human health and the environment from improper 
hazardous waste disposal practices. The RCRA Program manages 
hazardous wastes from generation through disposal.
    EPA's responsibilities and authorities to manage hazardous 
waste were greatly expanded under the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984. Not only did the regulated universe of 
wastes and facilities dealing with hazardous waste increase 
significantly, but past mismanagement practices, in particular 
prior releases at inactive hazardous and solid waste management 
units, were to be identified and corrective action taken. The 
1984 amendments also authorized a regulatory and implementation 
program directed to owners and operators of underground storage 
tanks.
    Pesticides.--The objective of the Pesticide Program is to 
protect the public health and the environment from unreasonable 
risks while permitting the use of necessary pest control 
approaches. This objective is pursued by EPA under the Food 
Quality Protection Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
and the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 through 
three principal means: (1) review of existing and new pesticide 
products; (2) enforcement of pesticide use rules; and (3) 
research and development to reinforce the ability to evaluate 
the risks and benefits of pesticides.
    Radiation.--The radiation program's major emphasis is to 
minimize the exposure of persons to ionizing radiation, whether 
from naturally occurring sources, from medical or industrial 
applications, nuclear power sources, or weapons development.
    Toxic Substances.--The Toxic Substances Control Act 
establishes a program to stimulate the development of adequate 
data on the effects of chemical substances on health and the 
environment, and institute control action for those chemicals 
which present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the 
environment. The act's coverage affects more than 60,000 
chemicals currently in commerce, and all new chemicals.
    Multimedia.--Multimedia activities are designed to support 
programs where the problems, tools, and results are cross media 
and must be integrated to effect results. This integrated 
program encompasses the Agency's research, enforcement, and 
abatement activities.
    Superfund.--The Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 established a national 
program to protect public health and the environment from the 
threats posed by inactive hazardous waste sites and 
uncontrolled spills of hazardous substances. The original 
statute was amended by the Superfund Amendments and 
Reauthorization Act of 1986. Under these authorities, EPA 
manages a hazardous waste site cleanup program including 
emergency response and long-term remediation.
    Brownfields.--The Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 as amended by the Small 
Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 
2002 establishes a national program to assess, cleanup, and 
provide support to States, Tribes, local communities and other 
stakeholders to work together to reuse Brownfields.
    Leaking Underground Storage Tanks.--The Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 established the 
leaking underground storage tank [LUST] trust fund to conduct 
corrective actions for releases from leaking underground 
storage tanks that contain petroleum or other hazardous 
substances. EPA implements the LUST response program primarily 
through cooperative agreements with the States.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $7,529,924,000 for EPA. 
This is a decrease of $108,492,000 below the fiscal year 2006 
enacted level, an increase of $214,449,000 above the budget 
request, and a decrease of $46,746,000 below the House 
recommendation.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    EPA's ``Science and technology'' account provides funding 
for the scientific knowledge and tools necessary to support 
decisions on preventing, regulating, and abating environmental 
pollution and to advance the base of understanding on 
environmental sciences. These efforts are conducted through 
contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements with 
universities, industries, other private commercial firms, 
nonprofit organizations, State and local governments, and 
Federal agencies, as well as through work performed at EPA's 
laboratories and various field stations and field offices. In 
addition, Hazardous Substance Superfund Trust Fund resources 
are transferred to this account directly from the Hazardous 
Substance Superfund.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The amounts recommended by the Committee compared with the 
budget estimates by activity are shown in the following table:

    Research: Human Health and Ecosystems.--The Committee 
recommends an increase of $2,065,000 for human health and 
ecosystems; including a decrease of $2,656,000 for 
computational toxicology; an increase of $1,413,000 for 
endocrine disruptor research; and an increase of $3,308,000 for 
fellowships through the Science to Achieve Results program.
    Research: Sustainability.--The Committee recommends an 
increase of $2,500,000 for environmental technology 
verification.
    Toxic Research and Prevention.--The Committee recommends an 
increase of $4,127,000 for pesticides and toxics research.
    The Committee is concerned with the Agency's implementation 
of the WaterSentinel program. The threat of bioterrorism 
remains real and immediate. Thus, the Committee has provided 
$10,000,000 for an additional pilot project. EPA should ensure 
that this additional pilot project demonstrates the best 
available real-time early warning system technology to monitor 
and protect the drinking water supplies of a high threat area 
serving multiple risk targets of national significance.

include any statutory or regulatory barriers to completing 
harmonization, and any actions EPA is undertaking to create a 
labeling system that allows identical products sold on both 
sides of the border to carry a joint label.
    Chesapeake Bay Program.--The Committee directs EPA to 
immediately implement all of the Government Accountability 
Office's [GAO] October 2005. recommendations to the Chesapeake 
Bay Program [CBP]. The Committee further directs EPA to develop 
a Chesapeake Bay action plan to maximize pollution reduction in 
the Chesapeake 2000 agreement. This plan must: (1) clearly 
articulate strategic targets the CBP expects to achieve in each 
year through 2010; (2) describe the actual activities the CBP 
will implement in each year to achieve these annual targets; 
and (3) identify the amount and source of funding that will be 
used to accomplish each of these activities. The Committee 
directs EPA to submit an annual performance assessment of 
progress made on this action plan. The Committee further 
directs EPA to publish and widely circulate within 6 months of 
the date of enactment of this act and annually thereafter a 
``tributary report card'' to evaluate progress made in 
achieving and maintaining nutrient and sediment reduction goals 
for each major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay and each 
separable segment of such a tributary. The report card should 
include a list of the primary sources of pollution and actions 
being taken to remediate those sources. Finally, EPA shall 
ensure that effluent limits for any point source shall be 
consistent with the assumptions identified in the tributary 
strategies.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    On October 17, 1986, Congress amended the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 
[CERCLA] through the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization 
Act of 1986 [SARA]. SARA reauthorized and expanded the 
Hazardous Substance Superfund to address the problems of 
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and spills. Specifically, 
the legislation mandates that EPA: (1) provide emergency 
response to hazardous waste spills; (2) take emergency action 
at hazardous waste sites that pose an imminent hazard to public 
health or environmentally sensitive ecosystems; (3) engage in 
long-term planning, remedial design, and construction to clean 
up hazardous waste sites where no financially viable 
responsible party can be found; (4) take enforcement actions to 
require responsible private and Federal parties to clean up 
hazardous waste sites; and (5) take enforcement actions to 
recover costs where the fund has been used for cleanup. Due to 
the site-specific nature of the Agency's Superfund program, 
site-specific travel is not considered part of the overall 
travel ceiling set for the Superfund account.

    Changes to the budget request are detailed below.
    Compliance.--The Committee recommends a decrease of 
$200,000 for the compliance program; including a decrease of 
$11,000 for compliance assistance and centers; and a decrease 
of $189,000 for compliance monitoring.
    Enforcement.--The Committee recommends a decrease of 
$541,000 for the forensics support program.
    Homeland Security.--The Committee recommends a decrease of 
$5,000,000 for homeland security activities; including, a 
decrease of $4,000,000 for decontamination; and a decrease of 
$1,000,000 for laboratory preparedness and response.
    Information Exchange/Outreach.--The Committee recommends a 
decrease of $41,000 for congressional, intergovernmental, and 
external relations.
    Operations and Administration.--The Committee recommends a 
decrease of $2,000,000 for acquisition management.
    Superfund Cleanup.--The Committee recommends an increase of 
$10,172,000 for Superfund cleanup activities; including an 
increase of $1,185,000 for emergency response and removal; and, 
an increase of $1,677,000 for EPA emergency preparedness; and 
an increase of $7,310,000 for remedial actions.
    The Committee is concerned that EPA may be planning to use 
Point of Use [POU] Treatment alternatives for rural water 
customers within the Arsenic Trioxide Site in Southeast North 
Dakota. The Committee directs the Agency to evaluate and 
reconcile any plan to use such devices with the EPA's 1986 
Record of Decision for the Site, which found ``that these 
alternatives would not effectively prevent, mitigate, or 
minimize threats to and provide protection of public health, 
welfare, and the environment.'' Further, the Committee expects 
the Agency not to consider a POU alternative and to remain 
consistent with the protection of public health by exercising 
the highly successful remedy alternative of Rural Water 
Treatment Systems.
    Despite years of remediation efforts, the Committee remains 
concerned that EPA has not yet issued a Record of Decision 
[ROD] for Libby, Montana. The Committee directs the Agency to 
work with the community to develop an acceptable timeline for 
completion of the project. It is of paramount importance that 
EPA allow for extensive input by the community at all phases of 
the process to determine the priorities of the community. Also, 
local businesses should be given every consideration in the 
Agency's contracting process. Finally, the Committee expects 
EPA to follow proper scientific procedures during the 
remediation process to ensure the safety of the community.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorizations Act of 1986 
[SARA] established the leaking underground storage tank [LUST] 
trust fund to conduct corrective actions for releases from 
leaking underground storage tanks containing petroleum and 
other hazardous substances. EPA implements the LUST program 
through State cooperative agreement grants which enable States 
to conduct corrective actions to protect human health and the 
environment, and through non-State entities including Indian 
tribes under section 8001 of RCRA. The trust fund is also used 
to enforce responsible parties to finance corrective actions 
and to recover expended funds used to clean up abandoned tanks.

directs the $9,678,000 increase for targeted watersheds for a 
regional program for the Chesapeake Bay.
    The Committee has also included bill language, as requested 
by the administration and as carried in previous appropriations 
acts, to: (1) extend for 1 year the authority for States to 
transfer funds between the Clean Water SRF and the Drinking 
Water SRF; (2) waive the one-third of 1 percent cap on the 
tribal set aside from non-point source grants; (3) increase to 
1.5 percent the cap on the tribal set-aside for the Clean Water 
SRF; (4) require that any funds provided to address the water 
infrastructure needs of colonias within the United States along 
the United States-Mexico border be spent only in areas where 
the local governmental entity has established an enforceable 
ordinance or rule which prevents additional development within 
colonias that lack water, wastewater, or other necessary 
infrastructure; and (5) change the limitation on the amounts of 
the SRF a State can use for administration.

                       Administrative Provisions

    The Committee includes bill language, as proposed in the 
budget request and as carried in previous appropriations acts, 
permitting EPA, in carrying out environmental programs required 
or authorized by law in the absence of an acceptable tribal 
program, to use cooperative agreements with federally 
recognized tribes and inter-tribal consortia.
    The Committee includes language authorizing EPA to collect 
and obligate pesticide registration service fees in accordance 
with section 33 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act, as amended.
    At the request of the agency, the Committee includes 
language revising the State allocation formula for the section 
106 grants to provide incentives to States which charge fees 
for NPDES permits.

           General Provision, Environmental Protection Agency

    Sec. 201. Reallocates $11,000,000 toward rural water

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Forest and rangeland research and development carries out 
basic and applied scientific research to provide information 
and solutions to sustain the Nation's forests and rangelands. 
Research scientists collaborate with industry, non-governmental 
organizations, colleges and universities, State foresters, and 
other governmental agencies. The research program works on a 
number of issues that are critical to the mission of the Forest 
Service including fire and fuels; invasive species; forest 
inventory and analysis; vegetation and protection; wildlife and 
fish habitat; soil, water, and air resources; valuation of 
forests and grasslands; urban forests and the urban-wildland 
interface. Research is conducted at six research stations, the 
Forest Products Laboratory, and the International Institute of 
Tropical Forestry located in Puerto Rico, with approximately 
500 scientists and 67 sites located throughout the United 
States.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $274,987,000 
for forest and rangeland research, which is $2,724,000 below 
the enacted level, $7,196,000 above the request, and $5,331,000 
below the House allowance.
    Increases above the President's request are $2,671,000 for 
the Forest Inventory and Analysis [FIA] program for a total of 
$62,000,000 for FIA from the research account. An additional 
$5,000,000 is provided for this program within the State and 
Private Forestry appropriation. The remaining increases above 
the request are the following: $1,200,000 for the Hardwood Tree 
Improvement and Regeneration Center, at Purdue University; 
$712,000 for the Northeastern States Research Cooperative for a 
total of $3,000,000; $150,000 for a study on impacts of oil and 
gas development on the Monongahela National Forest (this is in 
addition to the $486,000 in the President's request for pest 
and pathogen research at the Morgantown laboratory); $800,000 
for the Center for Bottomlands Hardwood Research in 
Mississippi, of which $300,000 is for the acceleration of 
forest genetics research related to reproductive seedling 
quality in southern bottomland hardwoods; $500,000 is for 
hydrology studies at the Southern Research Station in 
Starkville, Mississippi; $300,000 for infrastructure and 
personnel needs at the Hawaii Tropical Experimental Forest; 
$350,000 for the Joe Skeen Institute at Montana State 
University; $200,000 for the Urban Watershed Forestry Research 
and Demonstration Cooperative in Baltimore, Maryland; 
$1,114,000 for the research laboratory in Sitka, Alaska; 
$22,000 for the Advanced Wood Structure program at the Forest 
Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin for a total of 
$1,500,000 for this project; $1,407,000 for the Gypsy Moth 
``Slow the Spread'' initiative for a total of $1,907,000 for 
this project; $197,000 for the Northeast Land Use Modeling 
Project; and $550,000 for the control of invasive species.
    Of the funds provided for the Northeastern Research 
Cooperative, $1,000,000 is for Vermont, $1,000,000 is for New 
Hampshire, and $1,000,000 is to be divided evenly between Maine 
and New York.
    The funds provided for advanced wood structure research 
should be used for merit-based work by the Forest Products 
Laboratory in cooperation with the members of the Coalition for 
Advanced Wood Structures.
    The Committee concurs with the budget request of $2,428,000 
for sudden oak death research but makes the following 
modifications to proposals contained in the request: no funds 
are provided for the ecosystems services initiative; and there 
is a reduction of $1,295,000 for the marketing and utilization 
research initiative.
    The Committee commends the University of Idaho and Rocky 
Mountain Research Station for their work on the Mica Creek 
Collaborative Working Forests Project. The agency is strongly 
encouraged to put additional resources toward the 
implementation of this project.
    The Committee is concerned that the creation of the 
Albuquerque service center and changes in the allocation of 
indirect costs has had deleterious budgetary impacts on the 
research program. The Committee expects that the agency will 
endeavor to make sure that all programs within the Forest 
Service are treated fairly and that no program is assessed 
indirect costs over and above their equitable share.
    The Committee supports opportunities to leverage limited 
forest and rangeland research funds. The Committee encourages 
the Forest Service to seek new and enhanced ways to collaborate 
with the Land-Grant University system to leverage the funds and 
expertise that each has.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    State and private forestry programs provide technical and 
financial assistance to landowners and resource managers to 
help sustain the Nation's urban and rural forests and protect 
communities and the environment from wildland fires. Through a 
coordinated effort in management, protection, conservation 
education, and resource use, State and private forestry 
programs facilitate sound stewardship across lands of all 
ownerships on a landscape scale, while maintaining the 
flexibility for individual forest landowners to pursue their 
own objectives.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $251,091,000 
for State and private forestry, a decrease of $27,875,000 below 
the enacted level (excluding emergency funds), an increase of 
$6,681,000 above the request, and an increase of $22,483,000 
above the House allowance.

    Forest Health Management.--The Committee recommends 
$84,430,000 for forest health management activities.
    The Committee has provided $49,849,000 for Federal lands 
forest health management, which is equal to the request. Within 
the funds provided, $1,200,000 is for the white bark pine 
restoration project on various national park and forest system 
lands in Montana.
    The Committee has provided $34,581,000 for forest health 
cooperative lands management. The Committee concurs with the 
request for $300,000 for the Vermont forest monitoring 
cooperative.
    Cooperative Fire Protection.--The Committee recommends 
$39,000,000 for cooperative fire protection, which is 
$6,182,000 above the request. The Committee has provided 
$33,000,000 for State fire assistance and $6,000,000 for 
volunteer fire assistance.
    The Committee is troubled that the administration proposed 
dramatically cutting funds for State and volunteer fire 
assistance both in this account and under the Wildland Fire 
Management account. The Committee firmly believes that State 
and local resources are critical to augmenting the Federal 
wildland firefighting capability. Frequently, it is local fire 
departments that are first on the scene to suppress fires on 
Federal lands and the cooperative fire protection programs are 
crucial to ensuring that these State and local departments are 
adequately equipped and trained.
    Cooperative Forestry.--The Committee recommends 
$120,711,000 for cooperative forestry.
    The Committee has provided $33,880,000 for the forest 
stewardship program which is equal to the request. Within the 
funds provided, $1,000,000 is for the Washington State family 
forest small landowner management project, and $950,000 is for 
the Chesapeake Bay program to support forestry efforts in the 
Chesapeake Bay watershed.
    The Committee has provided $49,935,000 for the forest 
legacy program. This allocation also includes the use of 
$4,900,000 from prior year funds for projects which have failed 
or received funding from other sources. The Committee 
recommends the following distribution of funds:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Land Management Planning.--The Committee recommends 
$55,500,000 for land management planning, which is $55,000 
below the request. Within the funds for land management 
planning, the Committee has provided $600,000 to continue the 
agency's comprehensive NEPA environmental training, review and 
compliance program. The Committee encourages the Department to 
use these funds to continue and expand its existing partnership 
with Utah State University and its private sector partner to 
implement this training and review program.
    Inventory and Monitoring.--The Committee recommends 
$164,000,000 for inventory and monitoring, which is $9,865,000 
above the request.
    The Committee directs that out of the funds made available 
to the Threat Assessment Centers in North Carolina and Oregon 
in the research, State and private, and National Forest System 
accounts, $2,000,000 shall be provided to the Stennis Space 
Center. These funds shall be used to acquire remote sensing 
data to inventory and monitor National Forest System and 
private lands pursuant to title VI of the Healthy Forests 
Restoration Act. Within the funds provided for inventorying and 
monitoring, $135,000 shall be available for tracking collars to 
support the ongoing grizzly bear study on the Flathead National 
Forest and surrounding areas.
    Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness.--The Committee 
recommends $252,000,000 for recreation, heritage, and 
wilderness activities. The Committee encourages the Secretary 
of Agriculture to reduce the agency's indirect and fee 
collection costs associated with the implementation of the 
Federal Recreation Enhancement Act. The agency should make 
every effort to ensure that these costs are not more than 15 
percent of the total receipts collected under the program.
    Wildlife and Fish Habitat Management.--The Committee has 
provided $125,000,000 for wildlife and fish habitat management, 
which is $1,452,000 above the request. Within the funds 
provided, $300,000 is to continue work on the Batten Kill River 
to protect and improve the river, stream banks, and adjacent 
habitat areas.
    Grazing Management.--The Committee has provided $47,000,000 
for grazing management activities, which is $7,265,000 above 
the request.
    The Committee reiterates its frustration with the Forest 
Service's budget proposals for the grazing program. Currently, 
the agency has a backlog of several thousand expiring grazing 
allotments which must have environmental reviews completed 
pursuant to the schedule established in the Rescissions Act 
(section 504 of Public Law 104-19). In the budget justification 
submitted to the Committee for fiscal year 2007, the agency 
indicates that it is only processing 50 percent of the grazing 
allotments that it needs to in order to comply with the 
Rescissions Act schedule. In light of these facts, the 
Committee finds it simply unacceptable to propose cutting the 
budget for the program so drastically. Accordingly, the 
Committee has restored these funds. The Committee expects that 
future budget submissions shall address the actual needs of the 
grazing program and put the agency on a path to meet its 
obligations under the Rescissions Act.
    The Committee notes the changing moisture conditions in 
portions of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah 
and expects the Forest Service to adjust grazing permitted 
stocking levels to reflect the range conditions on the 
allotments, or subunits of the allotments. Due to the renewed 
drought conditions it is critical that stocking level 
adjustments reflect the local conditions and are based on the 
most recent monitoring data available from all sources. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Agriculture 
to ensure stocking levels are not changed unless local 
monitoring has been completed, as required by current Forest 
Service policy. In the event the Forest Service does not have 
up-to-date monitoring information needed to document the 
changes to the range conditions, the Secretary shall accept 
credible range condition monitoring provided from professional 
range conservationists employed by State or county governments 
or Universities.
    Forest Products.--The Committee recommends $310,114,000 for 
forest products, which is equal to the request. The Committee 
directs the Service not to follow the administration's proposal 
that focuses the large funding increase above last year's 
enacted level to a portion of the Pacific Northwest. The Forest 
Service should use the final fiscal year 2006 forest products 
program funding allocations as the base from which to make the 
fiscal year 2007 allocations. The agency should strive to 
allocate funds to those regions and forests that have the 
greatest likelihood of successfully selling and awarding 
additional forest products sales. However, the Committee also 
recognizes that one of the many factors to consider when 
allocating funding for forest products and hazardous fuels 
programs is the need to maintain forest industry 
infrastructure. This will enhance the likelihood of lower cost 
mechanical treatments, while enhancing rural community 
stability.
    The Committee is pleased with the efforts of the agency on 
the Lincoln National Forest in developing a stewardship 
contract with the Mescalero Apache, but is troubled that funds 
from the forest products line item were shifted from other 
forest product sales in the forest in order to develop the 
contract. The Committee directs the Secretary of Agriculture to 
execute the 15,000 acre stewardship contract on the Lincoln 
National Forest as authorized in Public Law 108-278. The 
Secretary is directed to continue to work with the Mescalero 
Apache Tribe and the New Mexico State Forester to assure the 
stewardship contract and its annual work plan are drafted so 
that lands on the Lincoln National Forest are treated. The 
Secretary shall continue to assure contract terms reflect 
maximum flexibility in order to allow the tribe a reasonable 
chance of success. The Forest Service shall provide the tribe 
with assistance in developing the annual plan of work on the 
stewardship proposal at no cost to the tribe. To ensure the 
Lincoln National Forest's ability to continue its normal forest 
products program and its completion of this 15,000 acre 
stewardship contract the Committee has transferred $500,000 to 
be expended on the preparation work to complete 3 years worth 
of work called for in the stewardship contract from a 
construction project requested for the Lincoln National Forest.
    The Committee has retained bill language included in prior 
years which allows the funds provided for timber pipeline 
supply above the normal regional allocation on the Tongass 
National Forest to be allocated between the Capital Improvement 
and Maintenance account and the National Forest System 
appropriation. The amount provided for this purpose is 
$5,000,000.
    The Committee expects the Forest Service to continue 
preparing and submitting its quarterly reports on the timber 
sales program. The Committee recommends that the agency 
identify the volumes that are offered, sold, and harvested 
categorized as net merchantable sawtimber in its quarterly 
reports.
    Vegetation and Watershed Management.--The Committee 
recommends $180,000,000 for vegetation and watershed 
management, which is $7,582,000 below the request. Within the 
funds provided, $400,000 shall be used to continue leafy spurge 
eradication efforts in North Dakota.
    The Committee remains interested in the efforts of counties 
in region 3 of the Forest Service to implement the county 
partnership on restoration and appreciates the funds that the 
Secretary of Agriculture has directed toward these efforts. The 
Committee expects the Secretary, to the extent practicable, to 
increase financial support for these programs.
    The Committee encourages the Forest Service to assess and 
expedite access to and removal of biomass resources within the 
Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and the Lake Tahoe Basin 
Management Unit. These resources could be removed sustainably 
for use in local electricity generation, and thereby reduce 
fire hazards caused by bark beetle and other pest infestations.
    Minerals and Geology Management.--The Committee recommends 
$81,242,000 for minerals and geology management, which is equal 
to the request.
    Landownership Management.--The Committee recommends 
$84,285,000 for landownership management, which is equal to the 
request.
    The Forest Service does not have either administrative or 
public access to the east side of the Crazy Mountains in the 
Lewis & Clark National Forest [LCNF]. The only access is by 
permission of neighboring private landowners. Consequently, the 
Forest Service is unable to monitor, much less manage, its 
resources in this area. Administrative access across the 
neighboring private land to the Big Elk Canyon area of the LCNF 
would, therefore, be in the public interest.
    The Committee directs the Chief to seek an easement for 
administrative access to Big Elk Canyon across private land and 
upon securing such an easement to reciprocate by offering a 
road easement across corners of LCNF for access to private 
inholdings. The Committee directs the Chief to expeditiously 
process an easement application received from such landowners. 
The parties shall work out an equitable arrangement for the 
costs of any National Environmental Policy Act analysis 
associated with processing the application and exchanging 
easements. Given the public interest in having the Forest 
Service obtain administrative access to Big Elk Canyon, the 
Forest Service is strongly encouraged to consider paying the 
entire amount of these NEPA related costs.
    Law Enforcement Operations.--The Committee recommends 
$111,000,000 for law enforcement operations, which is 
$1,000,000 above the request. Within the funds provided 
$1,300,000 shall be used for counterdrug operations on the 
Daniel Boone National Forest, and $300,000 shall be provided to 
Tulare County, California for marijuana eradication efforts on 
the local national forest.
    The Committee is concerned about the rapid growth of 
commercial scale marijuana cultivation and other narcotics 
operations occurring in national forests and on other Federal 
lands, particularly in California. The invasion of drug 
trafficking organizations on Federal lands constitutes a danger 
to visitors, agency employees and fire suppression teams and 
damages pristine wildlands, requiring intensive restoration. 
The Committee urges the Forest Service to examine ways to meet 
increased demand for counterdrug operations as part of the 
pending revision of its law enforcement allocation methodology.
    Valles Caldera.--The Committee recommends $3,650,000 for 
the Valles Caldera Trust for management activities at the Baca 
Ranch, New Mexico, which is $2,660,000 above the request.
    The Committee is becoming increasingly concerned with the 
trust's lack of progress in generating the capital it needs to 
become economically self-sufficient and urges the managers and 
Board of Directors of the Valles Caldera Trust to focus more 
attention on reducing management costs and increasing the 
revenues needed to achieve economic self-sufficiency.
    Other.--The Committee directs that overall funding for the 
Land Between the Lakes NRA be no less than $8,300,000. The 
Forest Service should determine the funding mix from all 
accounts.
    As noted previously, the Committee is encouraged by the 
positive results from the ``Service First'' co-location 
initiative between the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land 
Management. The Committee is aware that some State and local 
agencies are interested in co-locating with Federal resource 
agencies and believes that the opportunity to participate 
should be extended to State and local governments. The 
Committee urges the Forest Service and other Federal agencies 
to investigate cost-sharing co-location opportunities and 
advise the Committee on their feasibility as appropriate.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Wildland Fire Management provides funding for fire 
management including preparedness and fire suppression 
operations on National Forest System and adjacent lands, and 
also supports the National Fire Plan. The program seeks to 
protect life, property, and natural resources on the 192 
million acres of National Forest System lands, as well as on an 
additional 20 million acres of adjacent State and private 
lands. The program recognizes that wildfire is a critical 
natural process that must be integrated into land and resource 
management plans and activities on a landscape scale across 
agency boundaries.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$1,782,949,000 for wildland fire management activities, which 
is $36,858,000 above the enacted level, $14,754,000 above the 
request, and $27,617,000 below the House recommendation.
    The Committee has noted previously that substantial 
inconsistencies exist between the wildland fire management 
budget requests for the Forest Service and the Department of 
the Interior that have not been adequately explained. The 
Committee is providing funds consistent with congressional 
priority for a unified, interagency approach to dealing with 
devastating wildfires.
    The Committee recommendation includes $655,887,000 for 
preparedness, which is equal to the request. The Committee 
notes once again that the amounts proposed for preparedness in 
the request do not appear to be adequate to maintain the 
agency's firefighting readiness capability at current levels. 
Maintaining a robust initial attack capability is a critical 
component of the National Fire Plan and also reduces the 
overall costs of firefighting by containing fires before they 
escalate and cause loss of life and property as well as natural 
resource damage. Therefore, the agency shall analyze current 
readiness levels to determine whether maintaining preparedness 
resources in the field at a level not less than fiscal year 
2005 will, based on the best information available, result in 
lower overall firefighting costs. If the Forest Service makes 
such a determination, the Committee directs the Forest Service 
to adjust the levels for preparedness and suppression 
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.
    The Committee is concerned with the current costs and 
design of the new fire program analysis system that is being 
developed jointly by the Forest Service and the Department of 
the Interior. Not only are the costs of this project escalating 
without a clear explanation from the Departments but it is less 
than clear whether all firefighting resources are included in 
the model. In particular, the Committee is concerned that the 
Departments are not working cooperatively with the States. 
Given that the purpose of the system is to determine the best 
allocation of firefighting resources across the Nation, it is 
critical that State resources which are available for fighting 
wildland fire be included in the system. It may be that the 
most efficient method of allocating resources for firefighting 
is to invest additional dollars in the State fire assistance 
programs but that is not a determination that can be made 
without fully understanding what resources are currently 
available and where they need to be positioned in order to 
maximize readiness at the most cost effective level. The 
Committee expects the Departments to ensure that adequate 
consultation with the States occurs before this system is put 
in place.
    The Committee recommends $741,477,000 for wildfire 
suppression operations, a decrease of $4,699,000 below the 
request. The Committee recommendation fully meets the 10-year 
average expenditure, adjusted for inflation. The Committee 
notes that there is substantial carryover funding from the 
fiscal year 2005 urgent wildfire suppression allocation which 
is still available for wildfire suppression.
    The Committee recommends a total of $385,585,000 for other 
fire operations, which is $19,453,000 above the request. Of 
these funds, $291,792,000 is provided for hazardous fuels 
reduction, which is equal to the request. The recommendation 
includes $5,000,000 for biomass grants program as requested. 
These funds are available for biomass utilization, community 
capacity building, technical assistance, and marketing 
assistance. An additional $5,000,000 is provided for biomass 
utilization grants pursuant to section 210 of the Energy Policy 
Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58). Within the funds provided, 
$3,000,000 shall be made available to conduct fuels reduction 
projects on National Forest System lands in Teller County, 
Colorado, and $2,300,000 shall be for the Payson and Verde 
thinning projects on the Tonto National Forest in Arizona.
    The Committee understands that the Forest Service has had a 
longstanding relationship with the Ecological Restoration 
Institute [ERI] at Northern Arizona University and there is 
currently a cooperative agreement between the parties. The 
Committee believes this is an efficient arrangement for 
furthering the agency's mission in reducing hazardous fuels. 
Total funding provided to the ERI across all agency accounts 
shall not be less than $2,700,000 for fiscal year 2007. In 
addition to these funds, the Forest Service shall also make 
available $400,000 for ERI work carried out at New Mexico 
Highlands University, an ERI partner.
    The remaining funds within the other fire appropriations 
account are allocated as follows: $2,000,000 is for long term 
post-fire rehabilitation work, which is $20,000 above the 
request; $24,439,000 is for research and development, which is 
$4,318,000 above the request; $8,000,000 is for the joint fire 
science program, which is $4,040,000 above the request; 
$40,000,000 is for the State fire assistance program, which is 
$10,885,000 above the request; $8,000,000 is for volunteer fire 
assistance, which is $190,000 above the request; $6,802,000 for 
forest health activities on Federal lands, which is equal to 
the request; and $4,552,000 is for forest health activities on 
non-Federal lands, which is equal to the request.
    The Committee notes the funding discrepancy between the 
Joint Fire Science program in the budgets of the Forest Service 
and Department of the Interior. The program was designed to be 
a 50-50 partnership between the agencies. Therefore, the 
Committee does not agree to the reduction in funding proposed 
for the program in the Forest Service's budget, and provides 
$8,000,000 to increase the program to the same funding level as 
the Department of the Interior's contribution. The Committee 
expects future budget submissions to reflect the need for 
parity in this program between the agencies.
    Within the funds provided for research and development, 
$1,650,000 shall be allocated to the National Center for 
Landscape Fire Analysis at the University of Montana, of which 
$350,000 shall be to continue work in conjunction with the 
University of Idaho on the FRAMES project.
    Within the funds provided for State fire assistance, 
$6,000,000 is for activities in Alaska, primarily in areas 
affected by the spruce bark beetle which has caused severe fire 
danger in areas adjacent to many communities. These funds are 
to be distributed as follows: $2,100,000 to the Kenai Peninsula 
Borough, $1,000,000 to the municipality of Anchorage to remove 
dead and dying trees caused by spruce bark beetle, $1,000,000 
for the Fairbanks North Star Borough, $1,600,000 for the 
Matanuska-Susitna Borough, and $300,000 is for the Cook Inlet 
Tribal Council. Each of the amounts in this paragraph shall be 
distributed in the form of an advanced direct lump sum payment. 
None of the funds may be used for the purchase of equipment.
    The Committee is concerned that there has been too much 
focus on meeting the ``acres burned'' goal, which leads to the 
Forest Service to do repeated prescribed burns on low-priority 
acres. The Committee encourages the Forest Service to undertake 
more mechanical thinning, which would provide both ecological 
benefits and the opportunity to capture the economic value and 
biomass value of the fiber removed. Moreover, mechanical 
thinning is frequently the only option for many of the highest 
priority acres needing treatment.
    In order to more accurately capture impacts on the 
landscape, the Committee directs the Secretary to develop a 
separate account for maintenance of acres versus improvement of 
acres relative to the fire regime condition class, and to 
report on accomplishments to Congress and the public. 
Furthermore, in order to ensure attention to high priority 
acres, each national forest is directed to establish a goal of 
treating at least 5 percent of condition class 3 acres per year 
and to report on their program annually.
    Finally, to better understand the impact and effects of 
prescribed burning the Secretary is directed to report on an 
annual basis the amount and value of commercial products 
destroyed by prescribed fires as well as to describe the 
efforts made to remove commercially valuable products prior to 
implementation of each prescribed burn.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Facilities.--The Committee recommends $108,820,000 for 
facilities capital improvement and maintenance, which is 
$21,320,000 below the request. Of the funds provided, 
$50,172,000 is for maintenance and $58,648,000 is for capital 
improvement. Increases above the request are for the following 
projects: $476,000 is for facilities improvements on the 
Monongahela National Forest, $2,000,000 is continue work on the 
Smith County Lake project in Mississippi, $1,050,000 is for 
completion of the Chattanooga Airtanker Base in Tennessee, 
$1,100,000 is for recreation site improvements on the Cherokee 
National Forest, and $1,300,000 is to complete the necessary 
design work for the facility to collocate Rocky Mountain 
Research Station personnel with the University of Montana in 
Missoula.
    Given budget constraints and some concerns about the 
readiness of the project, the Committee has not included the 
full amount of $15,144,000 for the Forest Products Lab [FPL] as 
proposed in the request. Instead the Committee has provided 
$9,144,000 which will allow the FPL to complete work on the 
super structure of the new lab facility and to complete the 
durability test facility.
    The Committee supports the Forest Products Lab's 
groundbreaking research on wood products utilization. It 
expects that this facilities investment will allow the Lab to 
continue its work to develop the next generation of wood and 
paper products and keep the Nation's wood products industry 
internationally competitive. The Committee also encourages the 
Forest Service to maintain a robust human capital investment at 
the laboratory to support this investment in physical 
improvements.
    The Committee has not provided the $1,952,000 for the 
Sacramento administrative site project in New Mexico but has 
instead used these funds for other higher priority work in New 
Mexico.
    The Committee concurs with the budget request to fund the 
construction of a greenhouse for the Morgantown, West Virginia, 
Research Work Unit. However, the Committee directs the agency 
not to begin construction of the project until it has consulted 
local stakeholders to determine the optimal design and location 
for the structure.
    Roads.--The Committee recommends $203,666,000 for road 
maintenance and capital improvement, which is $20,879,000 above 
the request. Of the funds provided, $127,666,000 is for 
maintenance and $76,000,000 is for capital improvement. Within 
the funds provided, $2,059,000 is for road improvements on the 
Monongahela National Forest, and $4,000,000 shall be used for 
road improvements on the Tongass National Forest.
    Trails.--The Committee recommends $61,921,000 for trail 
maintenance and capital improvement, which is $1,580,000 above 
the request. Of the funds provided, $35,509,000 is for trail

Fish and Wildlife Foundation in the amount of $2,650,000 on a 
1-for-1 matching basis with private contributions for projects 
on or benefiting National Forest System lands.
    Language is included which allows the Forest Service to 
transfer appropriated funds to the Bureau of Land Management 
from the National Forest System account for work related to the 
management of wild horses and burros. The amount of funds 
transferred with this authority should be displayed in 
subsequent budget justifications.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

                         Indian Health Service

    The Indian Health Service [IHS] is the agency within the 
Department of Health and Human Services that has responsibility 
for providing Federal health services to approximately 1.5 
million American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of 
health services to members of federally recognized tribes grew 
out of the special government-to-government relationship 
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. This 
relationship, established in 1787, is based on Article I, 
Section 8 of the Constitution, and has been given form and 
substance by numerous treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, 
and Executive Orders.
    IHS services are provided directly and through tribally 
contracted and operated health programs in over 500 health care 
facilities located through the United States, primarily in 
rural and isolated areas. Health care is also purchased from 
more than 9,000 private providers annually. The Federal system 
consists of 36 hospitals, 61 health centers, 49 health 
stations, and 5 residential treatment centers. In addition, 34 
urban Indian health projects provide a variety of health and 
referral services.
    The IHS clinical staff consist of approximately 2,700 
nurses, 900 physicians, 350 engineers, 450 pharmacists, 300 
dentists, 150 sanitarians and 83 physician assistants. The IHS 
also employs various allied health professionals, such as 
nutritionists, health administrators, engineers, and medical 
records administrators.
    Through Public Law 93-638 self-determination contracts, 
American Indian tribes and Alaska Native corporations 
administer 13 hospitals, 158 health centers, 28 residential 
treatment centers, 76 health stations, and 170 Alaska village 
clinics.

                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES

Appropriations, 2006....................................  $2,692,099,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................   2,822,500,000
House allowance.........................................   2,830,136,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,835,544,000

    The Committee recommends $2,835,544,000 for Indian health 
services, an increase of $143,445,000 over the current year 
enacted level, $13,044,000 over the budget request and 
$5,408,000 over the House allowance. Changes from the budget 
request include increases of $32,744,000 for the urban health 
program and $300,000 for the Indian Health Board of Nevada, and 
a decrease of $20,000,000 in fixed costs to provide 
$104,198,000 for Federal/tribal pay increases, medical 
inflation and population growth.
    Language is retained in the bill designating $15,000,000 
for alcohol prevention and treatment work in Alaska, from which 
amounts are to be distributed among the program's participants 
as specified in the joint explanatory statement accompanying 
the fiscal 2005 conference report (House Rept. 108-792). The 
budget request proposed to eliminate the direction associated 
with these funds. In agreement with the budget request, the 
Committee supports continued funding for the Alaska Federal 
Health Care Access Network, InPsych programs at the University 
of Montana and the University of North Dakota, as well as the 
InMed program and Recruitment of American Indians into Nursing 
[RAIN] program at the University of North Dakota, at no less 
than the current year enacted levels. The Committee remains 
supportive of the Service's work with the Joslin diabetes 
program and encourages the continuation of this collaborative 
effort in the coming fiscal year.
    The Committee has included the funding level for urban 
health centers in the bill itself in order to underscore the 
importance of this program and the Committee's intention to 
insure that funding is continued in the Service's budget. The 
Committee is dismayed by reports from tribes that the 
Department of Health and Human Services has instructed the 
Service to proceed with plans to close down the 34 urban 
centers, despite the fact that the House Committee on 
Appropriations is already on record as disagreeing with the 
proposal for elimination. The Committee stresses that no funds 
were provided in fiscal year 2006 to effect the closure of 
these facilities and it expects the Department to refrain from 
any further action until House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations have concluded negotiations on the 2007 budget.
    The Committee has continued language in the bill to provide 
the Bureau of Indian Affairs with access to Indian Health 
Service records as necessary for the implementation of certain 
provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. 
Specifically, the Act provides for the creation of a 
comprehensive system of coordinated services to ensure adequate 
health and human services for American Indian and Alaska Native 
children with disabilities, who are enrolled in Bureau-funded 
schools, and this provision provides a mechanism for 
identifying those children.
    The Committee is encouraged by the Service's efforts to 
improve access to mental health care services in Indian 
country, including the provision of care through the use of 
telehealth technology. However, the Committee remains concerned 
that suicides and suicide attempts among American Indian and 
Alaska Native youths continue at epidemic rates. To the extent 
possible, the Committee urges the Service to expand its use of 
telehealth technology to provide suicide prevention counseling 
and mental health care to at-risk youth. In addition, the 
Committee encourages the Service to work with the Substance 
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to build 
partnerships with tribes and tribal organizations to enhance 
access to telemental health services for at-risk youth. The 
Committee expects the Service to provide a brief report by 
March 31, 2007 that describes the Service's work to date to 
establish telemental health services, particularly services for 
youth suicide prevention, describes the challenges that exist 
to creating a more comprehensive program, and offers 
recommendations as to how the Service might implement such a 
program.

                        INDIAN HEALTH FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2006....................................    $353,211,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     347,287,000
House allowance.........................................     363,573,000
Committee recommendation................................     357,287,000

    The Committee recommends $357,287,000 for Indian health 
facilities, an increase of $4,076,000 above the current year 
enacted level, $10,000,000 above the budget request and 
$6,286,000 below the House allowance. The $10,000,000 increase 
is provided within health care facilities construction for the 
Barrow, Alaska, hospital project. In agreement with the 
request, the Committee has included $17,664,000 to complete 
construction of the PIMC, SW Ambulatory Care Center in Komatke, 
Arizona.
    The Committee is aware of the Service's proposal to use 
third party collections to acquire land in order to expand 
parking facilities at the W.W. Hastings Hospital in Tahlequah, 
Oklahoma, and authorizes the Service to proceed with the 
purchase. Similarly, the Committee approves of the Service's 
intention to use up to $2,700,000 in previously identified 
unobligated balances for the purchase of land for construction 
of the northern and southern California youth regional 
treatment centers. The Committee expects the Service to move 
forward with these two acquisitions as it was directed to do in 
the joint explanatory statement of the committee of conference 
accompanying House Report 108-792.
    The Committee is extremely concerned about the growing 
backlog of facility construction projects throughout Indian 
country and the failure by both the Indian Health Service and 
the Department of Health and Human Services to request adequate 
funding to meet this need. The Committee notes that multiple 
facility projects have been waiting for funding for several 
years. In fiscal year 2008, the Committee expects the Service, 
in conjunction with the Department, to resume a more aggressive 
approach to funding facilities construction and request funds 
for the projects now at the top of the priority list and ready 
to proceed, including both the Barrow and Nome, Alaska, 
hospitals.

                     National Institutes of Health

            Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry

    The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 
[ATSDR], an agency of the Public Health Service, was created in 
section 104(i) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980. The ATSDR's primary 
mission is to conduct surveys and screening programs to 
determine relationships between exposure to toxic substances 
and illness. Other activities include the maintenance and 
annual update of a list of hazardous substances most commonly 
found at Superfund sites, the preparation of toxicological 
profiles on each such hazardous substance, consultations on

Budget estimate, 2007...................................       6,703,000
House allowance.........................................       6,703,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,703,000

    The Committee recommends $6,703,000 for the Institute of 
American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development, 
an increase of $496,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted 
level and the same amount as the budget request and the House 
allowance. The additional funding will assist the Institute in 
meeting its fixed cost increases.

                        Smithsonian Institution

    Congress established the Smithsonian Institution in 1846 to 
administer a large bequest left to the United States by James 
Smithson, an English scientist, for the purpose of establishing 
in Washington, DC, an institution ``. . . for the increase and 
diffusion of knowledge among men.'' The act establishing the 
Smithsonian provided for the administration of the trust, 
independent of the Government itself, by a Board of Regents and 
a Secretary, who were given broad discretion in the use of 
these funds. The board was to be composed of both private 
citizens and members of all three branches of the Federal 
Government in order to ensure ``the wise and faithful use'' of 
the Institution's funds. The trust funds were permanently 
loaned to the U.S. Treasury to be maintained in a separate 
account, with the interest from that money used for the 
operation of the Institution. Construction of the Smithsonian 
Castle was completed in 1855 and collections that the 
Government had accepted on behalf of the Institution were moved 
into the building. Today, the Smithsonian Institution is the 
world's largest museum and research complex, housing 
approximately 144 million objects and specimens, and receiving 
an estimated 25 million visitors annually.
    Its facilities include 18 museums and galleries, 10 science 
centers, a zoo, and other facilities--most located in or near 
Washington, DC, with others in Massachusetts, New York, 
Florida, Arizona, Hawaii, and the Republic of Panama. The 
Smithsonian's growth will continue for the foreseeable future 
with the construction of an aircraft restoration area at the 
Udvar-Hazy Center, which should be completed in 2008, and the 
design and construction of a National Museum of African 
American History and Culture, authorized by Congress in 2003.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2006....................................    $516,568,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     537,394,000
House allowance.........................................     517,094,000
Committee recommendation................................     537,394,000

    The Committee recommends $537,394,000 for salaries and 
expenses of the Smithsonian Institution, an increase of 
$20,826,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, the same 
as the budget request and $20,300,000 above the House 
allowance. Increases have been provided to cover the escalating 
costs associated with pay, utilities, and rent, as well as 
other necessary costs including Federally mandated transit 
benefits, facilities maintenance and additional security guards 
that will be required at the newly opened Patent Office 
Building.
    The Committee has included language in the bill to limit 
the amount that can be charged to the Smithsonian by the 
Department of Homeland Security [DHS] for security services 
provided at the George Gustav Heye Center in New York. The 
Committee understands that there is no dispute over basic 
building charges. However, the additional assessment proposed 
by DHS to cover the cost of constructing a new control center 
in the building would increase the Smithsonian's payment almost 
five-fold in the current fiscal year and reduce by half the 
Center's total budget for planned annual exhibits, public 
programs and education. In the Committee's view, DHS should 
either include such construction costs in its own annual budget 
request or work with the building's tenants to reach agreement 
on any potential financial obligations that would be incurred 
prior to assuming a commitment on their behalf.
    The Committee is concerned by the $20,300,000 reduction 
taken to the Smithsonian Institution's budget request by the 
House Committee on Appropriations during its recent 
consideration of the fiscal year 2007 Interior bill. While no 
justification of the proposed decrease is provided in the 
report accompanying the House bill, the Committee understands 
that dismay over the ``Smithsonian on Demand'' contract with 
Showtime provided the impetus for this action. There is a valid 
argument to be made that earlier consultation between the 
Congress, the Board of Regents and senior staff of the 
Smithsonian may well have eliminated a significant amount of 
the confusion and misinformation that existed at the time the 
contract was announced. The Smithsonian leadership has since 
acknowledged its missteps in the process of negotiating and 
announcing this new venture and made a concerted effort to 
provide full information to allay concerns regarding perceived 
limitations on public access to the Institution's collections 
and curators. The House action has no impact whatsoever on the 
Smithsonian's new venture, which is not federally funded, but 
rather damages already thin program budgets in each of the 
institution's existing museums, research centers and the 
National Zoo. The Smithsonian Institution plays an important 
role in our Nation's educational and cultural life as is 
evidenced by the large number of tourists who visit its 
facilities each year. The Committee does not believe that the 
visiting public would be well-served by a reduction of the 
Federal resources required by the Institution to carry out its 
mission.

                           FACILITIES CAPITAL

Appropriations, 2006....................................     $98,529,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     107,000,000
House allowance.........................................     107,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     107,000,000

    The Committee recommends $107,000,000 for the Smithsonian 
Institution's facilities capital program, an increase of 
$8,471,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same 
amount as the budget request and the House allowance. Funds 
provided will allow the Institution to continue with 
construction and revitilization projects at its facilities, 
including the National Air and Space Museum, the National 
Museum of American History, the National Zoological Park and 
the Museum Support Center, Pod 5.
    The Committee is pleased that with new leadership at the 
National Zoo, efforts to reinvigorate the park on a number of 
levels have gained momentum. Within the facilities capital 
account, funds are included to initiate construction of Phase 
II of Asia Trail, which focuses on Asian elephants, as well as 
to continue with the installation of upgraded fire protection 
and other life safety systems. The Committee recognizes the 
many demands that are placed on the facilities capital program, 
but encourages the Smithsonian to place a priority on providing 
such funds as are required by the Zoo to ensure the safety and 
protection of its living collection and the visiting public.
    The Committee is aware that preliminary site work will 
begin in the fall for the Smithsonian's newest museum, the 
African-American Museum of History and Culture. To the extent 
that the museum is able to move beyond its currently planned 
workload in the coming year, the Committee encourages the 
Smithsonian to give priority consideration to the museum's 
expanded funding needs. The Committee anticipates providing 
additional support to assist with this vitally important effort 
as it becomes necessary in future budgets.

                        National Gallery of Art

    The National Gallery of Art was created in 1937 by a joint 
resolution of Congress accepting Andrew W. Mellon's gift to the 
Nation of his art collection. The generosity of the Mellon 
family also provided the funds to construct the Gallery's two 
landmark buildings, the West Building, designed by Alexander 
Pope and completed in 1941, and the East Building, completed in 
1978 and designed by I.M. Pei. In 1999, an outdoor sculpture 
garden was created with funding from the Cafritz Foundation. 
Today, these two buildings and the Sculpture Garden form a 
museum complex that houses one of the world's premier art 
collections. Since its founding, Federal funds have been 
appropriated to ensure the operation, maintenance, protection, 
and care of this collection, enabling the Gallery to remain 
open 363 days a year at no charge to visitors. Private 
contributions are used by the Gallery for art acquisition and 
conservation, scholarly and scientific research, exhibitions, 
and educational outreach programs.

    The Committee recommends $101,794,000 for salaries and 
expenses of the National Gallery of Art, an increase of 
$6,615,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, and the 
same amount as the budget request and the House allowance. 
Additional funds are provided for the Gallery to meet its fixed 
cost increases for pay, benefits, utilities, and other 
operational requirements. The table at the back of the report 
displays the distribution of funds among the Gallery's various 
activities.

            REPAIR, RESTORATION, AND RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS

2006 enacted level, and the same amount as the budget request 
and the House allowance.

             John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

    Originally established in 1958 as the National Cultural 
Center, an independently administered bureau of the Smithsonian 
Institution, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 
was designated as a living memorial to President Kennedy in 
1964. The Kennedy Center building was constructed with a 
combination of private contributions, Federal matching funds 
and long-term revenue bonds held by the U.S. Department of the 
Treasury. Since 1972, Congress has provided funds for the 
operations and repair of the presidential monument, initially 
through the National Park Service and since 1995 to the Kennedy 
Center Board of Trustees. Approximately 87 percent of the 
Center's total annual operating budget is derived from non-
appropriated funds such as ticket sales, auxiliary income, 
investment income and private contributions to support 
performing arts programming and administrative activities.

                       OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

Appropriations, 2006....................................     $17,538,000

Committee recommendation................................      18,909,000

    The Committee recommends $18,909,000 for operations and 
maintenance of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing 
Arts, an increase of $1,371,000 above the fiscal year 2006 
enacted level and the same amount as the budget request and the 
House allowance. Additional funding is provided to assist the 
Kennedy Center in meeting its fixed cost increases for pay, 
benefits, utilities and facilities maintenance contracts.

the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same amount as the 
budget request and the House allowance. Life safety and 
accessibility issues, as well as the repair of aging building 
systems, will continue to be addressed in fiscal year 2007, 
with a primary focus on the Eisenhower Theater.

            Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

    The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars is the 
living national memorial to President Wilson established by 
Congress in 1968 and headquartered in Washington, DC. Its 
mission is to commemorate the ideals and concerns of the former 
president by providing a link between the world of ideas and 
the world of policy; and by fostering research, study, 
discussion and collaboration among a full spectrum of 
individuals concerned with policy and scholarship in national 
and world affairs. The Woodrow Wilson Center is a nonpartisan 
institution that is supported by a combination of public and 
private funds.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

expenses of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for 
Scholars, an increase of $373,000 above the fiscal year 2006 
enacted level and the same amount as the budget request and the 
House allowance. The proposed increase will assist the Center 
in meeting escalating fixed costs such as pay and stipend 
adjustments. The Committee expects these funds to be 
distributed among the Center's various program activities as 
displayed in the budget request.

           National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities

                    National Endowment for the Arts

    Established in 1965 as an independent agency of the Federal 
Government, the National Endowment for the Arts is the official 
arts organization of the United States Government. The 
Endowment is the largest annual funder of the arts in the 
United States, helping to create regional theater, opera, 
ballet, symphony orchestras, museums and other arts 
organizations that Americans now enjoy. In its 41-year history, 
the National Endowment for the Arts has awarded more than 
120,000 grants that have brought art to Americans in 
communities both large and small. The Arts Endowment, through 
its competitive, peer-reviewed grants process, uses the 
majority of its annual operating funds to awards grants to non-
profit organizations for arts education, arts outreach, 
artistic excellence and partnership agreements. In addition to 
those activities, State and jurisdictional arts agencies are 
awarded 40 percent of the Endowment's funds.

                       GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2006....................................    $124,406,000
Budget estimate, 2007...................................     124,412,000
House allowance.........................................     129,412,000
Committee recommendation................................     124,412,000

    The Committee recommends $124,412,000 for the National 
Endowment of the Arts, an increase of $6,000 over the fiscal 
year 2006 enacted level, the same amount as the budget request 
and a decrease of $5,000,000 from the House allowance. The 
table at the back of the report displays the proposed 
distribution of funds among the Endowment's activities.
    The Committee has not included the legislative proposal 
contained in the budget request regarding amounts that are 
subject to the matching funds requirement. This proposed 
language would amend the agency's authorizing legislation. The 
Committee appreciates the Endowment's request for clarification 
of the issue, but supporting documentation provided by the 
agency does not demonstrate that the existing language has any 
impact on its current grantmaking operations. Therefore, the 
Committee sees no compelling reason to circumvent the usual 
process and recommends that the matter be addressed by the 
appropriate committee of jurisdiction.
    Language is continued in the bill directing the Endowment 
to operate its grant programs in accordance with the provisions 
of sections 309 and 311 of Public Law 108-108 regarding 
priority for rural and underserved communities; priority for 
grants that encourage public knowledge, education, 
understanding, and appreciation of the arts; restrictions 
regarding individual grants, subgranting, and seasonal support; 
a 15-percent cap on the total amount of grant funds directed to 
any one State; and the designation of a category for grants of 
national significance.

                 National Endowment for the Humanities

    The National Endowment for the Humanities [NEH] was 
established by the 1965 National Foundation on the Arts and 
Humanities Act as an independent Federal agency of the United 
States Government dedicated to supporting research, education, 
preservation, and public programs in the humanities. Today, it 
is the largest funder of humanities programs in the Nation. 
NEH's longstanding tradition of a peer-reviewed competitive 
grant process is designed to ensure that the most meritorious 
projects are funded. Typically, NEH grants are used to support 
cultural institutions, such as museums, archives, libraries, 
colleges, universities, public television and radio stations, 
and individual scholars. The NEH, through its State-Federal 
partnership, also provides grants to State humanities councils 
in all 50 States and the 6 territories.

Committee recommendation................................     126,049,000

    The Committee recommends $126,049,000 for grants and 
administration of the National Endowment for the Humanities, an 
increase of $321,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, 
the same amount as the budget request and a decrease of 
$5,000,000 from the House allowance. The table at the back of 
the report displays the proposed distribution of funds among 
the Endowment's activities.
    The Committee wishes to take particular note of the 
Endowment's leadership and support in the aftermath of 
Hurricane Katrina. The agency's immediate effort to put in 
place a process to offer guidance to local humanities 
organizations, provide financial assistance to stabilize 
damaged historic properties and other related activities gave 
much needed support to the residents of the Gulf Coast at a 
critical time.

    The Committee recommends $14,906,000 for the Matching 
Grants account of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a 
reduction of $315,000 from the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, 
and the same amount as the budget request and the House 
allowance.

                        Commission of Fine Arts

    The Commission of Fine Arts was established in 1910 to fill 
the need for a permanent agency whose members would be 
qualified to make available to the Government expert opinion on 
questions of art and architecture. The Commission's mission, as 
design proposals are brought before it, is to safeguard and 
improve the appearance and symbolic significance of the City as 
a capital. The Commission provides knowledgeable advice on 
matters pertaining to architecture, landscape architecture, 
sculpture, painting and the decorative arts to all branches and 
departments of the Federal and District of Columbia governments 
when such matters affect the National Capital. The Commission 
also must approve of the site and design of all commemorative 
works and memorials erected in the District. The Commission 
advises on the design of circulating and commemorative coinage 
and must approve the siting and design for national memorials, 
both in the United States and on foreign soil, in accordance 
with the American Battle Monuments Act and the Commemorative 
Works Act. The Commission also administers the National Capital 
Arts and Cultural Affairs program, which was created by 
Congress to benefit nonprofit local cultural entities.

Committee recommendation................................       7,500,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program was 
established by Public Law 99-190 to provide grants for general 
operating support to District of Columbia nonprofit arts and 
other cultural organizations. In fiscal year 1988, 
administrative responsibility for the program was transferred 
from the National Endowment for the Humanities to the 
Commission of Fine Arts. In fiscal year 2006, this program will 
help support 21 nationally renowned organizations in the 
Nation's capital, providing funding for operating expenses, 
jobs, exhibits, and performances that might not have been 
possible otherwise.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $7,500,000 for the National 
Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program, an increase of 
$357,000 over the current year enacted level and $966,000 over 
the budget request and the House allowance. Additional funds 
will assist the program's participants in meeting the 
escalating costs of operations and allow for the consideration 
of new applicants without significantly reducing existing 
grants.

Committee recommendation................................       5,118,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 established 
the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation as an independent 
Federal agency. The Council's mission is to promote the 
preservation, enhancement, and productive use of our Nation's 
historic resources, and advise the President and Congress on 
national historic preservation policy. It also provides a forum 
for discussion of Federal activities, programs, and policies 
that affect historic properties. One of the principal 
responsibilities of the Council is to implement Section 106 of 
the National Historic Preservation Act, which requires that the 
Council be given an opportunity to comment on the impacts of 
projects or actions undertaken by other Federal agencies on 
sites or structures eligible for inclusion in the National 
Register of Historic Places.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

Council on Historic Preservation, which is an increase of 
$329,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, and the same 
as the budget request and House recommendation.

                  National Capital Planning Commission

    The National Capital Planning Commission [NCPC] was 
established in 1924 as a park planning agency. Two years later, 
the Agency's role was expanded to included comprehensive 
planning. The National Capital Planning Act of 1952 designated 
the NCPC as the central planning agency for the Federal 
Government in the National Capital Region. Major functions of 
the Commission include preparation and adoption of the Federal 
Elements of the Comprehensive Plan of the National Capital and 
review of D.C. elements for the Federal interest; preparation 
and adoption of an annual 6-year Federal Capital Improvements 
Program report for the region containing land acquisition and 
development proposals from all Federal agencies; review of 
plans and proposals submitted to the Commission; and 
development of specialized plans for long-range development in 
the National Capital Region.

language in the bill permitting the use of up to one-quarter of 
1 percent of funds for official representational activities to 
be used only when hosting international visitors associated 
with the international capitals working group.

                United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

    The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was created by 
Congress in 1980 through Public Law 96-388 with the mandate to 
operate and maintain a permanent living memorial museum to the 
victims of the Holocaust; provide appropriate ways for the 
Nation to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust through the 
annual national civic observances known as the Days of 
Remembrance; and carry out the recommendations of the 
President's Commission on the Holocaust. The building that 
houses the museum was constructed with private funds and opened 
to the public in 1993. Since that time, the museum has 
attracted 4-5 times the number of expected visitors and has 
been highly successful in its fundraising efforts. In fiscal 
year 2006, little more than a decade since the museum first 
opened its doors, non-appropriated sources of funding comprise 
nearly 50 percent of the museum's annual operating budget.

                       HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

Appropriations, 2006....................................     $42,150,000

fund from within its existing appropriation and has included 
language in the bill to effect that change.

                             Presidio Trust

    Upon deciding that the U.S. Army would end its 148 year 
presence at the Presidio, Congress created the Presidio Trust 
as part of the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 
1996. The Trust's mission is to preserve and enhance the 
natural, cultural, scenic, and recreational resources of the 
Presidio for public use in perpetuity, and to achieve long-term 
financial sustainability through rental, lease and other 
revenues derived from the use of Presidio buildings and spaces. 
The Trust manages the interior 80 percent of Presidio lands 
(known as Area B), including most buildings and infrastructure. 
The National Park Service manages coastal areas (known as Area 
A) as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. 
Appropriations for the Trust are expected to decline from year 
to year, and to cease entirely at or before the end of fiscal 
year 2012.

Remembrance; enhance the commemoration and understanding of 
Memorial Day; and to educate and give the younger generation a 
sense of their country's history and what it means to be an 
American. The Commission is dedicated to educating this and 
future generations of Americans to remember the sacrifices and 
costs in human life made to preserve this Nation's freedom.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $200,000 for the White House 
Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance, the same 
amount as the budget request, $47,000 below the fiscal year 
2006 enacted level, and the same amount as the House allowance.

                                TITLE IV

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    The Committee has recommended inclusion of several general 
provisions in the bill including the following:
    Sec. 401. Provides that contracts which provide consulting 
services be a matter of public record and available for public 
review, except where otherwise provided by law.
    Sec. 402. Provides that appropriations available in the 
bill shall not be used to produce literature or otherwise 
promote public support of a legislative proposal on which 
legislative action is not complete. The provision has been 
modified to make clear that it does not restrict authorized 
communications with Congress.
    Sec. 403. Provides that appropriations made available in 
this bill will not remain available beyond the current fiscal 
year unless otherwise provided.
    Sec. 404. Provides that appropriations made available in 
this bill cannot be used to provide a cook, chauffeur, or other 
personal servants.
    Sec. 405. Retains language carried in prior years with 
regard to assessments for government-wide, departmental, 
agency, or bureau functions.
    Sec. 406. Retains language carried in prior years 
restricting the transfer of funds made available in this act.
    Sec. 407. Limits the actions of the Forest Service and the 
Bureau of Land Management with regard to the sale of giant 
sequoia trees to a manner consistent with such sales as were 
conducted in fiscal year 2005.
    Sec. 408. Retains mining patent moratorium carried in 
previous years.
    Sec. 409. Provides $2,800,000 to undertake planning and 
design activities authorized in section 3511 of Public Law 102-
575, as amended, the Three Affiliated Tribes and Standing Rock 
Sioux Tribe Equitable Compensation Act.
    Sec. 410. Prohibits the use of appropriations to fund any 
activities associated with the issuance of the 5-year program 
under the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning 
Act. Strategic planning activities carried out for that act 
should now be completed as part of the agency's compliance with 
the Government Performance and Results Act, Public Law 103-62.
    Sec. 411. Provides additional authority to use the roads 
and trails funds for priority forest health related management. 
The Committee recognizes that there is a serious backlog in 
important road, trail and bridge work throughout the National 
Forest system just as there is a serious backlog in needed 
management related to forest health.
    Sec. 412. Restricts the use of answering machines during 
business hours.
    Sec. 413. Continues a provision providing that the 
Secretary of Agriculture shall not be considered in violation 
of certain provisions of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable 
Resources Planning Act solely because more than 15 years have 
passed without revision of a forest plan, provided that the 
Secretary is working in good faith to complete the plan 
revision within available funds.
    Sec. 414. Addresses timber sales involving Alaska western 
red cedar. Mills which process western red cedar in the Pacific 
Northwest have an insufficient supply of western red cedar, and 
the national forest in southeast Alaska sometimes has a 
surplus. This provision continues a program by which Alaska's 
surplus western red cedar is made available preferentially to 
U.S. domestic mills outside Alaska, prior to export abroad.
    Sec. 415. Prohibits oil, natural gas and mining related 
activities within current national monument boundaries, except 
where such activities are allowed under the presidential 
proclamation establishing the monument.
    Sec. 416. Provides the Secretary of Agriculture and the 
Secretary of the Interior the authority to enter into 
reciprocal agreements with foreign nations concerning the 
personal liability of firefighters.
    Sec. 417. Allows the Secretary of Agriculture and the 
Secretary of the Interior to consider local contractors when 
awarding contracts for certain activities on public lands.
    Sec. 418. Continues and makes permanent a long standing 
requirement in Alaska that IHS funds be made available only to 
regional Alaska Native health organizations and those Native 
entities with contracts or compacts with the Service entered 
into prior to May 1, 2006, in order to make the most cost 
effective use possible of scarce IHS funds for provision of 
health services.
    Sec. 419. Restricts funding appropriated for acquisition of 
land or interests in land from being used for declarations of 
taking or complaints in condemnation.
    Sec. 420. Continues, with certain modifications, language 
included in the fiscal year 2006 Act which controls the amount 
of funds available for the conduct of competitive sourcing 
studies.
    Sec. 421. Restricts the use of funds for SAFECOM and 
Disaster Management.
    Sec. 422. Requires that contact centers associated with the 
national recreation reservation service be located within the 
United States.
    Sec. 423. Extends for 1 year a pilot program to enhance 
Forest Service administration of rights-of-way.
    Sec. 424. Allows the Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition to 
enter into agreements with the Department of the Interior and 
the Department of Agriculture.
    Sec. 425. Amends Section 333 of the Interior and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act of 2004 to enable the Forest 
Service to accommodate the town of West Yellowstone's community 
expansion plans by having a permanent authority to sell or 
exchange identified parcels of national forest system land in 
and adjoining the town, and to allow the Forest Service to 
deposit and retain revenues from future sales of parcels in the 
Gallatin National Forest to acquire other key lands in Montana.
    Sec. 426. Provides that projects which have been 
categorically excluded by the Forest Service are not subject to 
appeal under the Appeals Reform Act, section 322 of Public Law 
102-381.
    Sec. 427. Withdraws certain sensitive Forest Service and 
Bureau of Land Management lands in Montana from future mineral 
development.
    Sec. 428. This section authorizes the acquisition of the 
Ebert's Ranch and the sale of assorted parcels in the Dakota 
Prairie National Grasslands. The Ebert's Ranch, which was once 
part of Theodore Roosevelt's historic Elkhorn Ranch, shall be 
acquired with $3,500,000 appropriated in title III of this act 
and funds provided in a previous reprogramming. The lands to be 
conveyed from Federal ownership are to be conveyed from fiscal 
years 2006 through 2009, before the ranch may be acquired, and 
are to be at least equal in acreage to the tanch land to be 
acquired by the Forest Service. There will be no net gain in 
Federally-owned land in North Dakota as a result of these land 
conveyances. The section also authorizes receipts from the sale 
of the Federal parcels to be deposited into a Sisk Act fund for 
acquisitions of National Forest System lands in North Dakota. 
The Committee is aware that the service has identified the 
Horse Creek Grazing Association Ranch as a priority for 
acquisition. The Committee urges the service to consider the 
Horse Creek Ranch for acquisition using Sisk Act funds.
    Sec. 429. Prohibits the Forest Service from changing 
eligibility requirements for base property or livestock 
ownership for grazing permits on the Dakota Prairie Grasslands. 
The Committee is concerned by the Forest Service's recent 
efforts to implement grazing policy changes that would have 
eliminated the ability of ranchers that lease land or share 
cattle to qualify for a Federal grazing permit on the Dakota 
Prairie Grasslands. The Committee is also troubled that these 
recent policy changes were implemented through an interim 
directive, without the opportunity for public comment or 
collaboration with North Dakota stakeholders prior to the 
policies taking effect. North Dakota is unique in its ranchers' 
widespread use of leased land and livestock, and the proposed 
policy changes would have had serious consequences for the 
State's livestock industry. The Committee is encouraged that 
the Forest Service supports its efforts to provide a permanent 
legislative solution to this issue. The Committee also 
recognizes the unique role grazing associations play under 
North Dakota State law and directs the Forest Service to work 
closely with grazing associations and all other stakeholders to 
implement grazing and land management policies for the Dakota 
Prairie Grasslands.
    Sec. 430. Prohibits the use of funds in this act for 
competitive sourcing studies by the Department of the Interior 
and the Forest Service for activities relating to wildfire 
management or wildfire suppression programs.
    Sec. 431. Extends authority for the State of Utah to work 
cooperatively on Forest Service lands.
    Sec. 432. Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to complete 
the final environmental impact statement for the Kings River 
Demonstration project on the Sierra National Forest no later 
than September 1, 2006, adopt the project's record of decision 
no later than November 30, 2006, and decide any administrative 
appeals on the project no later than February 28, 2007.
