THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, April 5, 2016. 

Hon. PAUL D. RYAN, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Budget amendments for the Departments of 

Agriculture, Defense, Education, Homeland Security, State and 

Other International Programs, and Transportation, as well as the 

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, the Surface Transportation Board, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Also included is an amendment to a general provision included in Title VI 

of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations 

Act, 2016, that would affect the Federal Trade Commission. These 

amendments are necessary to reflect correctly policies assumed in 

my FY 2017 Budget. These amendments would increase by $4 million the overall discretionary budget authority in my FY 2017 

Budget. 

This transmittal also includes FY 2017 Budget amendments for 

the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity and tradition, these 

appropriations requests for the Legislative Branch are transmitted 

without change. These amendments would decrease by $25 million 

the overall discretionary budget authority in my FY 2017 Budget. 

Moreover, provided for your consideration are FY 2017 amendments for the Department of Energy. Included is an amendment 

that would initiate modernization of Strategic Petroleum Reserve 

(SPR) infrastructure, which is at the end of its design life, as well 

as fund SPR marine terminal distribution capacity enhancements. 

Consistent with authorities provided in the Bipartisan Budget Act 

of 2015, these initiatives would be funded by the sale of crude oil 

from the Reserve in FY 2017. Also included are two offsetting 

amendments that would provide an increased amount to fund a 

portion of settlement costs related to the February 2014 incidents 

at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico, including the associated 2 activities at Los Alamos National Laboratory. 

The FY 2017 budget authority totals would not be affected by these 

amendments. 

Taken together, the transmitted amendments would decrease by 

$21 million the overall discretionary budget authority in the FY 

2017 Budget. 

The details of these amendments are set forth in the enclosure 

from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: Submitted for your consideration are 

amendments to your Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Budget for the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Homeland Security, 

State and Other International Programs, and Transportation, as 

well as the National Aeronautics Space Administration, the Public 

Defender Service for the District of Columbia, the Surface Transportation Board, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Also 

included is an amendment to a general provision included in Title 

VI of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2016, that would affect the Federal Trade Commission. 

These amendments would increase by $4 million the overall discretionary budget authority in your FY 2017 Budget. The amendments are necessary to reflect correctly policies assumed in your

Consistent with authorities provided in the Bipartisan Budget Act 

of 2015, these initiatives would be funded by the sale of crude oil 

from the Reserve in FY 2017. Also included are two offsetting 

amendments that would provide an increased amount to fund a 

portion of settlement costs related to the February 2014 incidents 

at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico, including the associated activities at Los Alamos National Laboratory. 

The FY 2017 budget authority totals would not be affected by these 

amendments. 

This transmittal also includes FY 2017 Budget amendments for

TITLE VII—GENERAL PROVISIONS

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 183 

FY 2017 Pending Request:— 

Proposed Amendment: Language 

Revised Request:— 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

sections 727 and 728 in their entirety and renumber the subsequent sections accordingly.) 

This amendment would remove appropriations language inadvertently included in the FY 2017 Budget that would repurpose 

emergency funds for non-emergency purposes and result in an unintended scoring impact. This amendment is necessary to reflect 

correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget. 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in the 

newly renumbered section 730 add the following new language immediately after ‘‘14(h)(1)(G)’’ and just before ‘‘for’’:) 

of the Watershed and Flood Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 

1012(h)(1)(A)–(G)) 

This amendment would provide the full legal citation that was 

inadvertently omitted from the language. 

The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 

these technical language amendments.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

TITLE VIII—GENERAL PROVISIONS

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 320 

FY 2017 Pending Request:— 

Proposed Amendment: Language 

Revised Request:— 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

the text of section 8050 and substitute Of the amounts appropriated in this Act for ‘‘Operation and Maintenance Navy’’, $274,524 

000, to remain available until expended, may be used for any purposes related to the National Defense Reserve Fleet established 

under section 11 of the Merchant Ship Sales Act of 1946 (50 U.S.C. 

4405): Provided, That such amounts are available for reimbursements to the Ready Reserve Force, Maritime Administration account 

of the United States Department of Transportation for programs, 

projects, activities, and expenses related to the National Defense Reserve Fleet.) 

This amendment would revise existing language that provides 

the Department of Defense (DOD) with transfer authority to the 

Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration’s Ready 

Reserve Force account for expenses related to the National Defense 

Reserve Fleet. Instead of transfer authority, the amendment would 

make available from DOD’s Operation and Maintenance, Navy account $275 million for reimbursements to the Maritime Administration’s Ready Reserve Force account for programs, projects, activities, and expenses related to the National Defense Reserve 

Fleet. This amendment is necessary to reflect correctly the policy 

assumed in the FY 2017 Budget. 

The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 

this technical language amendment.

OFFICE OF INNOVATION AND IMPROVEMENT

INNOVATION AND IMPROVEMENT

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Pages: 359–360 

FY 2017 Pending Request: $1,331,556,000 

Proposed Amendment: $80,000,000 

Revised Request: $1,411,556,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

‘‘$1,331,556,000’’ and substitute $1,411,556,000; and add the following new language immediately after the last proviso and just 

before the period:) 

: Provided further, That $80,000,000 shall be for competitive 

grants to local educational agencies, in partnership with one or 

more institutions of higher education and other public or private entities, which may include businesses, to promote the whole school redesign of the high school experience in order to provide students 

with challenging and relevant academic and career-related learning 

experiences that prepare them for postsecondary education and careers, of which one-half of 1 percent shall be reserved for the Secretary of the Interior for activities consistent with the purpose of this 

proviso, and of which up to 2.5 percent may be reserved for national 

activities 

This amendment would increase the Department of Education’s 

Innovation and Improvement account by $80 million for the proposed Next Generation High Schools program. The proposed competitive grants program was erroneously funded in the Department’s legislative proposal for the Career, Technical and Adult 

Education (CTAE) account, which has been corrected in the FY 

2017 Budget database by a corresponding decrease. This amendment would also provide the authority to create the proposed program. This amendment is necessary to reflect correctly the policy 

assumed in the FY 2017 Budget. 

Taken together with the correction for the CTAE account in the 

FY 2017 Budget database, the proposed FY 2017 budget authority 

totals would not be affected by this technical amendment.

Proposed Amendment: Language 

Revised Request: $9,285,147,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

‘‘$42,000,000’’ and substitute $50,400,000.) 

This amendment would increase by $8.4 million the amount proposed to be cancelled from available, unobligated prior-year balances in the Department of Energy’s Weapons Activities account. 

This request would fully offset an increase of $8.4 million in budget 

authority for the Department’s Defense Environmental Cleanup account, as described in an accompanying amendment. Taken together, the proposed FY 2017 budget authority totals would not be 

affected by this amendment.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER DEFENSE ACTIVITIES

DEFENSE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 399 

FY 2017 Pending Request: $5,382,050,000 

Proposed Amendment: $8,400,000 

Revised Request: $5,390,450,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

‘‘$5,382,050,000’’ and substitute $5,390,450,000.) 

This amendment would increase by $8.4 million the appropriations request for the Department of Energy’s (DOE), Defense Environmental Cleanup account. This proposed increase is needed to 

fund a portion of settlement costs to resolve the New Mexico Environment Department claims against DOE related to the February 

2014 incidents at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico, including the associated activities at Los Alamos 

National Laboratory. The additional $8.4 million will allow DOE’s 

Office of Environmental Management to pay a total of $26.8 million 

to the State of New Mexico for necessary repairs to its roads needed for transportation of DOE shipments of transuranic waste to 

WIPP. 

The proposed $8.4 million increase would be fully offset by a corresponding increase in the amount proposed to be cancelled from 

available, unobligated prior-year balances in the Department’s 

Weapons Activities account, as described in an accompanying 

amendment. Taken together, the proposed FY 2017 budget authority totals would not be affected by this amendment.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

ENERGY PROGRAMS

ENERGY SECURITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION FUND

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 417 

FY 2017 Pending Request:— 

Proposed Amendment: $375,400,000 

Revised Request: $375,400,000 

(Under the above bureau, immediately before the heading ‘‘Energy 

Information Administration’’ and just after the Bodoni dash, insert 

the above new heading, the following new appropriations language, 

and a new Bodoni dash:) 

As authorized by section 404 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 

(Public Law 114–74), the Secretary of the Department of Energy 

shall drawdown and sell not to exceed $375,400,000 of crude oil 

from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in fiscal year 2017: Provided, 

That the proceeds from such drawdown and sale shall be deposited 

into the Energy Security and Infrastructure Modernization Fund 

during fiscal year 2017 and shall remain available until expended 

for necessary expenses in carrying out construction, maintenance, repair, and replacement activities of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. 

This amendment would allow for the deposit of, and appropriate, 

oil sale proceeds in the Energy Security and Infrastructure Modernization Fund, authorized by section 404 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 114–74). Pursuant to section 404(c) of 

such Act, it would allow for the sale of up to $375.4 million worth 

of Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) oil in fiscal year (FY) 2017. 

It also would make such proceeds available to fund SPR modernization activities, including life extension of SPR infrastructure 

and marine terminal distribution enhancements. Because the oil 

sale authority provided in section 404 expires in FY 2020, this 

Budget amendment is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient 

time to conduct oil sales, as well as conduct design work and procure specialized equipment that requires a long-lead time to manufacture. 

The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 

this amendment.

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 517 

FY 2017 Pending Request: $265,719,000 

Proposed Amendment: Language 

Revised Request: $265,719,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, add the 

following new language immediately after the second semi-colon 

and just before the phrase ‘‘and of which’’:) 

of which not to exceed $2,000,000 is available for facility needs 

associated with secure space at fusion centers including improvements to buildings; 

This amendment would add language providing funding related 

to facilities needs for secure space at fusion centers that was inadvertently omitted. This language would maintain for FY 2017 the 

authority provided in the FY 2016 enacted appropriation for the 

Department’s Analysis and Operations account and is consistent 

with the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget. 

The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 

this technical language amendment.

Revised Request: $11,327,958,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

‘‘$11,333,352,000’’ and substitute $11,327,958,000.) 

This amendment would correct the appropriations request for the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Operations and Support account, which is overstated by the inadvertent inclusion of $5 million of unaccompanied children contingency funding. The FY 2017 

Budget database, however, provides the correct appropriations 

amount. This amendment is necessary to reflect accurately the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget. 

The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 

this technical amendment.

Revised Request: $1,147,502,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

‘‘$1,152,502,000’’ and substitute $1,147,502,000.) 

This amendment would decrease by $5 million the appropriations 

request for the Department of Homeland Security’s National Protection and Programs Directorate Operations and Support account, 

specifically for the following programs: Infrastructure Analysis 

(¥$1.902 million); Infrastructure Capacity Building (¥$1,588 million); and Protect Infrastructure (¥$1.510 million). This amendment would ensure that the overall request is consistent with the 

FY 2017 defense function budget cap after accounting for an error 

in the FY 2017 Budget database. 

The proposed FY 2017 budget authority totals would be reduced 

by $5 million as a result of this technical amendment.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Pages: 581–582 

FY 2017 Pending Request:— 

Proposed Amendment. Language 

Revised Request:— 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in section 539, delete ‘‘$300,000,000’’ and substitute $325,000,000.) 

The amendment to section 539 is necessary to address a proposal 

mistakenly included in a subsequent section (section 540), which is 

addressed below. The amendment to section 539 would increase by 

$25 million the proposed cancellation of non-emergency funding in 

the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Disaster 

Relief Fund. 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in section 540, delete ‘‘$73,000,000’’ and substitute $95,000,000; delete 

the phrase ‘‘and $47,000,000 appropriated by Public Law 110–28 

are’’ and substitute is.) 

The amendment to section 540 would increase by $22 million the 

proposed cancellation of non-emergency funding from Public Law 

109–88 in FEMA’s Disaster Assistance Direct Loan Program Account, which would exhaust the balances in that account. In addition, the amendment would delete the proposed cancellation of $47 

million of discretionary balances that are designated as emergency 

and cannot be used to offset non-emergency spending. 

Taken together, the amendments to sections 539 and 540 would 

propose a total cancellation of $47 million in order to offset the proposed cancellation of $47 million in discretionary balances that are 

designated as emergency, which was inadvertently included in the 

FY 2017 Budget. 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

section 541 in its entirety and renumber the subsequent sections 

accordingly.) 

This amendment would delete section 541, which would allow the 

transfer of balances in FY 2017 from the Office of Secretary and 

Executive Management account to the Office of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (OCBRNE). The Department expects to expend during FY 2016 the amount that would 

have been available for transfer to OCBRNE. Therefore, the provision is not necessary. 

The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 

these technical language amendments.

and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.) 

This amendment would provide the correct name of the Act associated with the referenced section 251(b)(2)(A). This amendment is 

necessary to reflect correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 

Budget.

This amendment would remove language to expand the Federal 

Railroad Administration’s authority to enter into contracts, leases, 

and other agreements. The proposal would have resulted in an unintended scoring impact. This amendment is necessary to reflect 

correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.

This amendment would correct the calendar date in section 

622(b) from October 1, 2018 to October 1, 2017, so that this proposal for the Hart-Scott-Rodino pre-merger filing fees collected by 

the Federal Trade Commission becomes effective in fiscal year

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in the 

second paragraph delete the opening and closing brackets.) 

This amendment would restore an administrative provision, inadvertently marked for deletion that provides transfer authority for 

the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This 

transfer authority was provided to NASA most recently in the FY 

2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act, as well as in prior years. 

This amendment is necessary to reflect correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.

this technical language amendment.

Revised Request: $41,829,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

the second and third provisos.) 

This amendment would delete two provisos in the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, Federal Payment to the 

District of Columbia Public Defender Service account. With the 

January 28, 2016 enactment of the District of Columbia Courts, 

Public Defender Service, and Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency Act of 2015 (Public Law 114–118), inclusion of these 

two provisos in the account language is unnecessary.

This amendment would increase by $9 million the Surface Transportation Board’s (STB) appropriations request in the FY 2017 

Budget. The STB became an independent agency on December 18, 

2015, pursuant to the Surface Transportation Board Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Public Law 114–110). As such, it is not required 

to submit a budget request for approval before submitting it to the 

Congress. Pursuant to its new authority, STB revised its submission to OMB and formally submitted the revised FY 2017 Budget 

to the Congress and OMB concurrently on February 9, 2016. This 

amendment is necessary to reflect correctly the revised amount. 

The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would increase by $9 million as a result of this technical amendment.

This amendment would add appropriations language requesting 

$43 million for the design and construction of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission. This appropriations language was inadvertently omitted from the FY 2017 Budget. This amendment 

would also adjust downward the $68 million that was erroneously
