PURPOSE OF THE BILL

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

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

Economic Development Administration [EDA], the Bureau of the 

Census, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration [NTIA], the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office [USPTO], 

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

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA]; (2) 

the Department of Justice; (3) several independent science agencies: the Office of Science and Technology Policy [OSTP], the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA], the National 

Science Foundation [NSF]; and (4) several related commissions and 

agencies: the Commission on Civil Rights, the Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission [EEOC], the International Trade Commission [ITC], the Legal Services Corporation [LSC], the Marine 

Mammal Commission, the U.S. Trade Representative [USTR], and 

the State Justice Institute [SJI]. 

SUMMARY OF THE BILL

The Committee recommends total discretionary appropriations of $64,926,066,000 for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, 

science, and related agencies for fiscal year 2010. This amount is 

$313,755,000 above the President’s budget request. 

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

our communities from terrorism and violent crime. 

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

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

States against weapons of mass destruction, terrorist attacks, and 

internal espionage. Accordingly, the recommendation supports initiatives totaling $366,408,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level to 

improve intelligence, including the addition of agents devoted to 

counterterrorism efforts. Through the Committee’s full support, 

agents will be provided with the tools to improve intelligence driven investigations. 

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

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

by providing the full budget request of $270,174,000, which is an 

increase of $80,613,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level, to enhance 

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

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

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

by improving its ability to dismantle dirty bombs through its 

Render Safe program. 
4 

Fighting Violent Crime.—The Committee recommends a total of 

$3,164,600,000 for State and local law enforcement, which is 

$411,112,000 above the President’s request. The Committee’s recommendation includes $100,000,000 for Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] hiring grants to put 500 new officers on the 

beat and $510,000,000 for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants. 

The Committee’s recommendation also includes a record 

$435,000,000 in funding for Violence Against Women Act [VAWA] 

programs to combat domestic and dating violence, sexual assault 

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

strengthen State and local government DNA collection and analysis 

systems, which is vital to successfully prosecuting the guilty and 

protecting the innocent from wrongful conviction. The Committee 

recommendation provides $50,000,000 for activities authorized 

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

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

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

budget request does not propose to reduce the number of special 

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

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

against our most vulnerable individuals. Accordingly, the Committee provides the President’s full budget request of $25,491,000 

to support 50 additional special agents and 93 professional staff to 

investigate mortgage fraud. 

Fighting Crimes Against Children.—The Committee has provided 

substantial resources to protect our children from predators. The 

recommendation includes $265,000,000 for Department of Justice 

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

Child Protection and Safety Act. 

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

report, making significant investments in our science agencies that 

will pay dividends for our future. 

Research.—The Committee recommends funding for research 

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

$878,000,000 in the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] for highly leveraged research that will contribute to 

the development of new innovative products and processes. The 

Committee also provides over $6,900,000,000 for basic research 

through the National Science Foundation [NSF]. 

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

$857,000,000 in NSF education and training programs. This is a 
5 

critical investment to ensure that our Nation leads the world in 

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

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

protects our inventions. The Committee recommends the full budget request of $1,930,361,000 for the Patent and Trademark Office 

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

addition, the Committee has provided language to allow the 

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

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

process them. 

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

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

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

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA], this bill funds 

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

borrowed time. For this reason, the Committee has recommended 

over $1,400,000,000 for NASA’s Earth science missions, including 

$135,000,000 for new Earth science missions recommended by the 

National Academy of Science to measure ice melt and $640,000,000 

for NASA science to better understand how the Sun affects the 

Earth. In addition, the Committee recommends $1,215,436,000 to 

fund our next generation climate and weather satellites that are 

important to understanding changes in our planet’s climate. 

Accountability and Oversight.—The Committee is extremely concerned about the persistent pattern of cost overruns and schedule 

slippages on major projects and missions carried out by the agencies within this bill. In addition, reports have exposed a culture 

within many agencies that exhibits a lack of accountability and 

oversight of grant funding. 

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

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

NSF and the Legal Services Corporation to conduct reviews of 

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

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

acquisition and construction projects. Specifically, the Committee 

requests that GAO develop a plan for ongoing reviews of such 

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

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

timely manner to the Committee. The Committee believes that 

these project status reports are valuable in identifying cost overrun 
6 

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

REPROGRAMMINGS, REORGANIZATIONS, AND RELOCATIONS

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

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

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

title of the bill has also traditionally included separate provisions 

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

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

The Committee expects each department and agency to closely 

follow the reprogramming procedures listed in section 505, which 

are the same as provisions that applied in statute during fiscal 

year 2009. These procedures apply to funds provided under this 

act, or provided under previous appropriations acts that remain 

available for obligation or expenditure in fiscal year 2010, or provided from any accounts in the Treasury available to the agencies 

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

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

projects or activities. This provision is also applicable in cases 

where several activities are involved with each receiving less than 

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

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

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

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

The Committee also expects that any items that are subject to 

interpretation will be reported. The Committee is concerned that, 

in some instances, the departments or agencies funded within this 

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

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

Committee. 

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

Justice, science, and related agencies appropriations bill provides 

specific program guidance throughout this report and tables accompanying the bill. The process is intended to provide flexibility to 
7 

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

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

meet program requirements, such as fee collections and unobligated balances that were not considered in the development of the 

appropriations legislation. 

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

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

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

The Committee expects the executive branch departments to 

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

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

not have been anticipated when formulating the budget request for 

the current fiscal year. 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

The Committee directs that all departments and agencies funded 

within this bill shall submit all of their fiscal year 2011 budget justifications concurrently with the official submission of the administration’s budget to Congress. Further, all departments and agencies 

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

Committee on Appropriations, through appropriate means at the 

same time the unclassified budget justifications are transmitted. 

These justifications shall include a sufficient level of detailed 

data, exhibits and explanatory statements to support the appropriations requests, including tables that outline each agency’s programs, projects, and activities for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The 

Committee directs the chief financial officer of each department or 

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

change proposed in the fiscal year 2011 budget, particularly within 

the departmental operations and management accounts. 

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

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

Committee. The Committee expects that the fiscal year 2011 submissions will include sufficient detail to justify all programs, 

projects and activities contained in each department, agency or 

commission budget request. Budget justifications are prepared not 

for the use of the agencies, but are the primary tool of the Committee to evaluate the resource requirements and proposals requested by the administration. 
8 

NONCAREER PERSONNEL REDUCTIONS-IN-FORCE

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

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

date of the proposed personnel action. 

APPROPRIATIONS LIAISONS

The Committee prefers to channel the majority of its inquiries 

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

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

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

The Committee recommends a total of $14,043,253,000 for the 

Department of Commerce [DOC]. The recommendation is 

$4,775,736,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, excluding 

supplemental appropriations, and $254,500,000 above the budget 

request. 

The Department of Commerce is a major innovation engine for 

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

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

new economy. DOC’s sciences and research programs find new 

ways to solve today’s problems and anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. New research brings new technology, and DOC develops 

new standards and partners with industry to keep citizens safe and 

manufacturers on the right track. These new technologies and 

ideas deserve protection, and DOC preserves intellectual property 

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

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

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

monitoring and periodic census. 

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

funding, proper management, and oversight to keep the United 

States scientifically relevant and technologically innovative in the 

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

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

goals for which to be adequately held accountable in the years 

ahead. 

One of the largest management challenges facing DOC is fulfilling its constitutional obligation to conduct a timely and accurate 

2010 census. In 2009, the Committee provided over $3,140,000,000 

for the 2010 census with funds in the 2009 omnibus and in the 

America Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and based on past performance the Committee remains apprehensive about the management of this program. Two years ago, laptop computers were misplaced, raising concerns about the privacy and security of personal 

information. Last year, the handheld computer system could not be 

fully implemented due to a failed Government contract, forcing the 

Census Bureau to revert back to archaic paper-based systems. This 

year, the Committee is watchful of new reforms to ensure no new 
10 

blunders arise forcing the census to be delayed or even compromised. 

Another challenge facing the Department is the successful operations of the Patent and Trademark Office [USPTO], which is vital 

to America’s competitiveness in the global marketplace. The Committee has learned that during these recent economic times, fees 

collections are $100,000,000 less than expected, and patent and 

trademark applications have decreased. These trends could complicate an already poor-morale and low-retention environment. The 

Committee is concerned that this situation will increase the backlog problem. 

In 2010, the Committee entrusts the Department will ensure 

USPTO has the resources it needs to process applications timely, 

keep staff on board, and continue issuing patents and trademarks 

to give American inventors incentives to stay innovative. 

Finally, the Committee will continue to examine NOAA’s satellite 

programs which have undergone extensive independent reviews 

after experiencing cost overruns, delays, and setbacks. Satellite acquisitions account for 25 percent of NOAA’s budget, with over 

$1,200,000,000 requested in 2010. They are critical to predicting 

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

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

committee wants to know how the Department plans to handle recent recommendations to realistically bring the satellite program 

back on track and maintain proper oversight of the program and 

its associated contractors.

Offsetting Fee Collections.—The Committee recommendation 

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

the Committee believes is realistic and achievable. 
11 

Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties Study.—The Committee 

directs the Secretary of Commerce to work with the Secretaries of 

Homeland Security, and the Treasury to conduct an analysis and 

report to Congress on the relative advantages and disadvantages of 

prospective and retrospective anti-dumping and countervailing 

duty systems. The report should address the extent to which each 

type of anti-dumping and countervailing duty system would likely 

achieve the goals of remedying injurious dumping or subsidized exports, minimizing uncollected duties, reducing incentives and opportunities for importers to evade anti-dumping and countervailing 

duties, effectively targeting high-risk importers, addressing the impact of retrospective rate increases on U.S. importers and their employees, and creating a minimal administrative burden. The report 

is due 180 days after enactment of this act. 

Appalachian-Turkish Trade Project.—The Committee continues 

to recognize the importance of trade and investment opportunities 

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

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

technology, and transportation sectors, in the Republic of Turkey 

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

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

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

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

the ATTP. The Committee expects the Commercial Services to continue to be a prominent ATTP sponsor. 

World Trade Organization.—The Committee is aware of the 

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

2003, ruling regarding the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset 

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

the existing right of WTO Members to distribute monies collected 

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

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

negotiations. 

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

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

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

States. 

U.S. Foreign Commercial Service.—The U.S. Foreign Commercial 

Service promotes the export of goods and services from the United 

States, particularly by small- and-medium-sized businesses, and 

represents U.S. business interests internationally. Currently, there 

are 77 countries staffed by Foreign Commercial Service Officers 

and locally employed specialists. However, there have been a rap-
12 

idly growing number of ‘‘limited’’ officers assigned to non-commercial posts working on intellectual property rights, enforcement, and 

standards, as well as officers serving in domestic locations, which 

has seriously diminished the number of officers conducting core 

commercial activities. Overall staffing has dropped from 1,736 in 

2004 to 1,513 in 2008. The number of core commercial officers has 

also dropped from 250 in 2004 to less than 180 in 2008. The Committee provides an additional $4,500,000 above the amount requested for this service, and directs the administration to begin reversing this trend of staff reductions and improper staff assignments. The Committee requests that the Government Accountability Office [GAO] conduct a study that evaluates: (1) cost estimates related to improving the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service 

workforce, (2) the current international need, and any service gaps, 

resulting from the reduced number of officers working overseas, 

and (3) the level of financial support the U.S. Foreign Commercial 

Service received from the administration in relation to its sibling 

services in the Departments of State and Agriculture. The Committee provides $1,500,000 for congressionally designated projects, and directs the ITA to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects that ITA 

will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 100,342,000 

The Committee recommendation provides $100,342,000 for the 

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

$16,666,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same 

as the budget request. 

BIS is the principal agency involved in the development, implementation, and enforcement of export controls for dual-use technologies. The Export Enforcement Division detects, prevents, investigates, and assists in the sanctioning of illegal dual-use exports. Within the amount provided under this heading, $54,432,000 is for export administration, $39,854,000 is for export enforcement, 

and $6,056,000 is for management and policy coordination. These 

funds are provided to ensure BIS has the necessary resources to reduce security threats, ensure America’s technological pre-eminence, 

and improve the recruiting and retention of qualified personnel. 

The Committee supports the administration’s request for the increase of funding for export enforcement operations including inspections and other activities related to national security. New regulations issued last year increase BIS’s responsibility to track the 

illicit procurement of U.S.-origin items detrimental to national security and to manage the Department’s Entities List (Supplement 

No. 4 to Part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations), and 

additional funds are required to increase the available number of 

Export Control Officers and support their activities.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $238,000,000 for the 

Economic Development Administration [EDA]. The recommendation is $34,800,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including supplemental funding and $46,000,000 below the budget 

request. 

The EDA provides grants to local governments and nonprofit 

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

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

111–5) funding and $40,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding. 
15 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $200,000,000 for Economic Development Assistance Programs. The recommendation is 

$40,000,000 below the fiscal year 2009 level, not including supplemental funding, and $46,000,000 below the budget request. The 

Committee expects EDA to use all available carryover and prior 

year recoveries to the maximum extent possible. 

The purpose of Economic Development Assistance Programs 

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

that are characterized by underutilized resources which, if put to 

productive use, can contribute to greater national productivity and 

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

urban and rural development by addressing all geographic areas 

within a framework of national priorities and resources. The Committee recommendation includes $8,500,000 for the 

Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive; $40,000,000 for public 

works grants (title I); $30,000,000 for planning assistance; 

$10,000,000 for technical assistance; $1,500,000 for research and 

evaluation; $20,000,000 for trade adjustment assistance for communities and for firms; and $90,000,000 for economic adjustment 

grants (title IX). The Committee supports the President’s initiatives within the economic adjustment grants to further develop regional innovation clusters and business incubators, which are intended to leverage emerging technologies and research to bolster 

U.S. competitiveness. 

The Committee is aware of the exceptionally large geographic 

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

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

In previous years, EDA provided grants to assist communities 

impacted by military base closures, realignments, and expansions. 

The Committee supports this grant activity, and encourages future 

budget requests to identify funding required to meet similar needs 

created by the 2005 round of Base Realignment and Closure and 

other recent defense realignments. Within 60 days of the enactment of this act, EDA, in coordination with the Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment, shall submit a report reestablishing such a grant program for localities designated as military 

growth and closures communities that includes criteria for eligible 

communities and projects, and future funding requirements.

structure with the six regional offices in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, 

Denver, Philadelphia, and Seattle. The Committee’s recommendation fully funds the request for the Salaries and Expenses appropriation which provides adequate funding to begin filling vacancies 

within the regional offices. The Committee again directs that vacancies within the regional offices be filled prior to any vacancies 

within headquarters.

$200,000 above the budget request. The Committee provides not 

less than $200,000 for the Office of Native American Business Development. The Committee expects the office to utilize the assistance of the Native American Business Enterprise Centers to help 

fulfill its obligations to expand business development, trade promotion and tourism opportunities for Indian tribes and other Native American entities. The Committee provides $200,000 for congressionally designated projects and directs the MBDA to refrain 

from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee 

expects that MBDA will provide appropriate management and 

oversight of each grant.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $100,600,000 for Economic and Statistical Analysis. The recommendation is $9,979,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $4,400,000 below the 

budget request. 

Economic and Statistical Analysis [ESA] encompasses the collection, tabulation, and publication of a wide variety of economic, demographic, and social statistics and provides support to the Secretary of Commerce and other Government officials in interpreting 

the state of the economy and developing economic policy. The Committee’s recommendation provides $6,747,000 for new initiatives 

proposed by the agency. 

BUREAU OF THE CENSUS

1 Includes $1,000,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 

111–5) funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $7,324,731,000 for the Census Bureau. The recommendation is $3,184,881,000 above 

the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $50,000,000 below the budget request. 

The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2010 budget is a critical year for the Census Bureau as it begins initial operations of 

the decennial census. Accordingly, the amounts provided by the 

Committee to the Census Bureau are sufficient for the activities 

that are critical to the agency, including its primary function, the 

decennial census. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $233,588,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 259,024,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 259,024,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 259,024,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $259,024,000 for salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $25,436,000 above the 

fiscal year 2009 enacted level and is equal to the budget request. 

This account provides for the salaries and expenses associated with 

the statistical programs of the Bureau of the Census, including 

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

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

for decision-making by governments, private organizations, and individuals. 
19 

The Committee has provided the full increase of $11,661,000 to 

improve measurement of the service sector. This increase will provide economic policy makers with more comprehensive and timely 

data on the service economy, which now accounts for 55 percent of 

all economic activity. In addition, the Committee’s recommendation 

provides $50,279,000 to ensure a full Survey of Income and Program Participation [SIPP] sample of 45,000 households. 

PERIODIC CENSUSES AND PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $3,906,262,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 7,115,707,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 7,115,707,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 7,065,707,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $7,065,707,000 for 

periodic censuses and programs. The recommendation is 

$4,159,445,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and 

$50,000,000 below the budget request. 

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

2010 Decennial Census.—The Committee’s recommendation rejects the House approach of using the census contingency fund to 

pay for 2010 census requirements. This contingency fund is held in 

reserve to tackle unforeseen obstacles. Without this safety net, the 

census could run the risk of not fulfilling its constitutional mandate. 

Mileage Reimbursement for Temporary Workers.—The 2010 census will be the largest civilian mobilization to date. The Census Bureau will hire 1.4 million temporary workers, many of whom will 

use their own vehicles to travel door-to-door to visit residences that 

have not responded to mailed census surveys. The Committee fully 

supports their full and timely reimbursement for mileage traveled. 

However, the census budget request assumes a reimbursement of 

62.5 cents per mile, which is 7.5 cents per mile more than the current rate received by Federal employees, as determined by the General Services Administration [GSA]. Therefore, the Committee’s 

recommendation provides sufficient funding to ensure that temporary employees will receive full mileage reimbursement at a rate 

that is equivalent to that of all Federal employees. 

Partnership.—The Committee is concerned that the Census Bureau must reach the hardest to count populations, including seniors, rural communities and minorities. Therefore, the Committee 

expects the Census Bureau to hire a diverse and local pool of temporary employees. These indigenous workers bring language skills 

as well as cultural understanding to facilitate greater outreach and 

result in a more accurate count. 

Inspector General Recommendations.—The Committee notes that 

the Office of the Inspector General [OIG] issued three recommendations to promote an accurate address list and contain costs. The 

Committee is concerned that the Census Bureau has failed to implement these recommendations. The Committee directs the Census Bureau to report within 60 days of enactment of this act on the 

steps it is taking to implement the OIG’s recommendations. 
20 

The Committee adopts by reference report language that accompanies the fiscal year 2008 supplemental appropriations for the 

Census Bureau regarding the development and reporting of milestones associated with the 2010 census.

and the same as the budget request. 

The Committee’s retains language from previous years allowing 

the Secretary of Commerce to collect reimbursements from other 

Federal agencies for a portion of the cost of coordination of spectrum management, analysis, and operations. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration shall submit a report to the Senate Committee on Appropriations no later than June 

1, 2010, detailing the collection of reimbursements from other 

agencies related to spectrum management, analyses, and research.

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

The Committee provides $20,000,000 for Public Telecommunications Facilities, Planning, and Construction [PTFPC]. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year 2009 funding level and 

$20,000,000 above the budget request. This program was created to 

provide needed resources to construct and upgrade public television 

and radio stations across the country. Over the years, this funding 

has been critical to helping stations maintain services by providing 

funds to stations in need of equipment replacements and upgrades. 

As radio stations across the Nation face unprecedented financial 

hardship, now is not the time to propose the elimination of this 
21 

program. The Committee recognizes the overwhelming need the 

program fills for communities, and denies the administration’s request to eliminate this program. 

UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $2,010,100,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,930,361,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,930,361,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,930,361,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,930,361,000 for 

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

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

USPTO is the central hub of an innovation friendly Government. 

USPTO examines patent applications, grants patent protection for 

qualified inventions, and disseminates technological information 

disclosed in patents. USPTO also examines trademark applications 

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

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

the USPTO encourage invention, innovation, and investment. The 

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

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

Fee Collections Projections.—The Committee directs the USPTO 

to provide quarterly reports on its projected fee collections and to 

notify the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate during any 

month when significant changes in such projections prompt serious 

concern or require drastic budgetary responses. 

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

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

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

Patent Examiners.—The Committee is concerned with the turnover in patent examiners. Numerous reviews conducted by the Government Accountability Office [GAO] have shown that for every 

two examiners hired, one leaves the agency. Contrary to the view 

of senior management, most examiners who left the agency have 

cited the unreasonable work productivity goals as a major reason 

for their departure. In order to meet their goals many examiners 

have to work unpaid overtime or while on annual leave. These 

goals which were first adopted in 1976 have not been updated to 

address the ever more complex technologies that encompass today’s 

patent applications. The unrealistic goals are forcing junior examiners to leave which will have a lasting impact on the agency, making it difficult to replace the productivity rates of senior examiners 

when they subsequently retire. Therefore, the Committee has re-
22 

stricted access to $25,000,000 until the director begins a comprehensive re-evaluation of the work productivity goals for patent 

examiners. 

Any deviations from the funding distribution provided for in this 

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

shall submit to the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate a 

spending plan for fiscal year 2010. This spending plan shall incorporate all carryover balances from previous fiscal years, and describe any changes to the patent or trademark fee structure.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 878,800,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $878,800,000 for the 

National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST]. The recommendation is $59,800,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level not including supplemental funding and $32,700,000 above 

the budget request. The recommendation provides that up to $9,000,000 may be 

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

purchase equipment for its laboratories. 

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

technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve 

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

programs. 

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

Total STRS .............................................................................................................................................. 520,300 

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

standards critical to supporting technology infrastructure for U.S. 

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

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

funding for basic research over 10 years. The recommendation supports many of the administration’s new initiatives, increasing research funding by more than 7 percent over the 2009 fiscal year 

level. Within the funds provided, NIST is directed to expand its capabilities and resources into the Pacific region through a Pacific Islands component of NIST, and is provided $750,000 to expand its 

biodiversity storage capabilities into the region. 

The Committee includes funding within the amounts provided for 

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

Standards and Technology to refrain from charging administrative 

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

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 194,600,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $194,600,000 for Industrial Technology Services [ITS]. The recommendation is 

$19,600,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to 

budget request. 

Supporting the Nation’s manufacturers, especially small businesses, is critical to keeping America innovative in a global marketplace. ITS provides a bridge for advancing cutting-edge technologies with cost-saving measures. The Committee is encouraged 

by the administration’s healthy request for ITS, which shows a 

genuine intention to partner with industry for the benefit of the 

Nation’s future. The Committee supports NIST’s requested allocation of funding for the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Program 

[MEP] and the Technology Innovation Program. 

Within MEP, NIST, and its partners are directed to consider the 

importance automation plays in accelerating and integrating manufacturing processes. The topic of automation cuts across all levels 

of industry, rather than serving as a stand-alone technology, and 

particularly affects the fields of control systems cyber security, industrial wireless sensors, systems interoperability, and other basic 

automation technologies necessary for the success of industrial enterprises. NIST is encouraged to consult and collaborate with independent experts in the field of automation to support the agency’s 

efforts in working with industry to increase innovation, trade, security, and jobs.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $163,900,000 for construction of research facilities. The recommendation is $8,100,000 

below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level not including supplemental 

funding and $47,000,000 above the budget request. 

The recommendation funds the highest priority safety, capacity, 

maintenance, and repair projects at NIST. 

JILA Expansion.—The Committee has learned that NIST has not 

entered into a formal acquisition agreement with its partners to expand the JILA facility. Within 60 days of enactment of this act, the 

agency shall amend its formal memorandum of understanding with 

JILA partners to incorporate language addressing each party’s responsibility including project contingencies and cost overruns. 

The Committee directs NIST to provide quarterly reports on the 

status of all construction projects. 

The Committee provides $47,000,000 for congressionally designated projects, and directs the National Institute of Standards 

and Technology to refrain from charging administrative costs to 
26 

these grants. The Committee expects that the National Institute of

1 Includes $830,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111– 

5) funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $4,772,816,000 for 

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA]. 

The recommendation is $407,620,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, excluding supplemental appropriations, and 

$299,000,000 above the budget request. 

Following a familiar trend, the administration’s 2010 budget request for NOAA proposes to again underfund one of our Nation’s 

leading scientific agencies. With a diverse environmental portfolio, 

talented workforce, and supportive external community base, the 

Committee is befuddled as to the administration’s motivation for 

under funding this agency. The agency cannot effectively meet its 

mission objectives under these circumstances, and is once again 

forcing the Committee to bridge the financial gap between an unrealistic budget request and sensible recommendation.

1 Includes $230,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111– 

5) funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $3,304,131,000 for 

NOAA’s operations, research, and facilities. The recommendation is 

$255,582,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, excluding 

supplemental appropriations, and $263,594,000 above the budget 

request. 

The Committee provides funding for congressionally designated 

projects listed within the obligation tables for: the National Ocean 

Service; National Marine Fisheries Service; Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, National Weather Service; National Environmental, Satellite Data, and Information Service; and Program Support, and directs NOAA to refrain from charging administrative 

costs to these grants. The Committee expects that NOAA will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant. 

NOAA NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE

The Committee recommends $511,550,000 for the National 

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

and management expertise to promote safe navigation; assess the 

health of coastal and marine resources; respond to natural and 

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

environments.

Integrated Ocean Observing System [IOOS].—The Committee recommendation provides a total of $34,055,000 for the Integrated 

Ocean Observation System, of which $6,555,000 is for program ad-
30 

ministration, and $27,500,000 is provided for continued support for 

a testbed for quantitatively evaluating the performance of new and 

existing coastal technologies in the laboratory and under diverse 

environmental conditions, and for a competitive, regional ocean observing systems solicitation. The budget request for IOOS reinforces the Committee’s concern that the community’s vision for this 

program is larger than NOAA’s own internal initiative. Outside 

support for IOOS’s overall funding—which includes long-standing 

recommendations from the Joint Ocean Commission—far outweighs 

this unrealistic budget request. A proven ocean observation network could be the very essence of a true National Ocean Service, 

maximizing both external and internal resources. Yet, this program 

instead seems to languish in stagnant funding requests and 

unachievable goals. Meanwhile, as NOAA struggles with IOOS’s 

intra-agency identify, current assets within the community are 

being pulled away and shut down. NOAA fails to acknowledge that 

its own strategic plan for this program, though becoming narrower 

and more focused as the program matures, has no validity without 

the support of its State and regional partners. Such a trend suggests that little consideration is given to long-term measurements 

to support long-term results. Although this Committee has endeavored to bridge this financial gap in past fiscal year recommendations, continual lackluster requests coupled with current funding 

constraints have left the Committee with no other option than to 

provide a modest increase compared to the true need. The administration should create a more holistic funding recommendation in 

2011, and should consider reorganizing resources within the agency 

across line offices to create a more salient internal program. 

In addition, the Committee recognizes the broad value of the consortium of sensor testbeds and advancing new sensor technologies, 

and provides $3,000,000 for these activities. The agency is directed 

to report to the Committee within 30 days of enactment of this act 

on the feasibility of establishing a cooperative institute for the purpose of advancing and sustaining this essential capability and including it in future requests. The Committee is aware that IOOS 

is working to distribute the management and execution of the 

coastal facets of its observing activities among numerous regional 

networks. Unfortunately, as the agency builds towards the development of this coastal observation system, it lacks a cost-effective national modeling test bed which integrates data from observing networks throughout multiple regional associations in mesoscale meteorology, landscape hydrology, river flows, coastal inundation, coastal circulation, and marine ecology. 

Since the U.S. Atlantic and gulf coasts encompass two-thirds of 

the Nation’s tidal shores and face multiple economic, human 

health, public safety and operational conditions, the Committee has 

included $4,500,000 for NOAA to initiate and competitively award 

an extramurally based super regional test bed that enables data integration and dissemination to understand, predict, and mitigate 

the consequences of both extreme events and chronic conditions in 

the U.S. Atlantic and gulf regions. Such a test bed should include 

no less than 20 academic partners and research institutions to 

guarantee it is multi-disciplinary, and inclusive of community-modeling. The test bed must demonstrate how to improve forecasting 
31 

of phenomena and require scientists to share use of numerical models, observations, and tools needed to elucidate, prioritize, and resolve issues associated with interoperable coupling of a range of existing and emerging coastal oceanic, atmospheric, hydrologic, and 

ecological models, including the participation of other portions of 

NOAA beyond the National Ocean Service. The Committee directs 

NOAA to outline its approach and timeline for this effort in the Department’s fiscal year 2010 operating plan. 

Tide and Current Data.—The Committee provides an additional $3,800,000 above the administration’s request to fully support the 

entire design, installation, maintenance, and operations of the 

Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System [PORTS], as authorized 

by Public Law 107–372. The Committee believes these operations, 

which exist as a partnership between NOAA and local port authorities, have been extremely valuable tools for providing information 

for safe vessel navigation and data for weather and coastal monitoring used by other national programs. NOAA is directed to request the program’s full support, including operation and maintenance, in future budget requests. 

Coastal Services Center.—The Committee’s recommendation pro- vides an increase of $6,000,000 above the administration’s request, 

which includes $4,100,000 more for the Pacific Coastal Services 

Center for a total of $5,000,000. The remainder of the increased 

funding is for the gulf coast and west coast service centers. 

Ocean Health Initiative.—The Committee is disappointed with 

the administration’s reduction in this valuable national program, 

and restores the fiscal year 2009 level of $4,000,000. All of NOAA’s 

ocean programs touch the lives of people everyday, but this initiative is one that directly and immediately shows the links between 

humans and the ocean. The Committee expects a more reasonable 

request for this program in future years. 

Response and Restoration.—The Committee provides an addi- tional $1,000,000 for the Office of Response and Restoration, working jointly with the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, to solicit 

an independent assessment of potential man-made undersea 

threats, that could impact coastal and Great Lakes States. Such an 

assessment shall be conducted by a reputable outside group working for NOAA to effectively link environmental assessment results 

with that of the capable expertise of the salvage industry to create 

a prioritized list of hazardous undersea threats to protect our Nation’s coasts and shorelines from the discharge of unsafe material. 

Careful consideration shall be made by all parties to not disclose 

sensitive and confidential information that could be protected by 

the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 in an effort to protect and preserve non-hazardous, cultural and historical marine resources. 

CZM and Stewardship.—The Committee provides an increase of 

$1,500,000 over the fiscal year 2009 level for this valuable office, 

which provides services and expertise to coastal and Great Lakes 

programs throughout the country. However, the Committee does 

not support the new coastal task force initiative proposed by the 

administration which mimics the recent Presidential memorandum 

assigning such a national ocean policy taskforce to the Council of 

Environmental Quality announced after the budget request. 
32 

Regional Geospatial Modeling Grants.—The Committee provides $5,500,000 to continue funding for this competitive program for researchers and resource managers to develop models or geographic 

information systems using existing geodetic, coastal remote sensing 

data, terrestrial gravity measurements, or other physical datasets. 

NOAA NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE

The Committee’s recommendation provides $872,373,000 for the 

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

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

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

sustainable fisheries, recover protected species, and sustain healthy 

coastal ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.

Chesapeake Bay Oyster Restoration.—The Committee provides 

$3,000,000 for oyster restoration in the Chesapeake Bay. Of these 

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

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

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

including banquets or salaries. 

National Environmental Policy Act [NEPA].—The Committee is 

deeply concerned about the impacts of a proposed liquefied natural 

gas [LNG] facility in Fall River, Massachusetts. The proposal calls 

for the construction of an offshore berth in Mount Hope Bay that 

will be connected to an onshore storage facility by two 4.25-milelong cryogenic pipelines. The dredging activity and vessel traffic associated with the proposed project will have a lasting effect on essential fish habitat for 14 federally managed species and critical 

stocks, particularly the southern New England winter flounder. 

The Committee notes that in April 2009 the National Marine Fisheries Service issued a final interim rule for the 2009 groundfish 

season that prohibits the retention of any catch of southern New 

England winter flounder due to concern about the condition of the 

stock. The Committee has also committed significant resources toward efforts to help restore commercially valuable stocks and the 

New England fishing industry. Therefore, the Committee expects 

the National Marine Fisheries Service, in providing comments to 

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on any draft environmental impact statement for the proposal, to insist on mitigation 

measures, including a no-action alternative, that will ensure the recovery of southern New England winter flounder. 
34 

Protected Species.—In addition to the amounts requested, the Committee provides programmatic increases of: $1,619,000 for Hawaiian Monk Seal activities for a total of $4,000,000; $4,348,000 for 

Hawaiian Sea Turtle and Incident Take activities for a total of 

$7,800,000; $683,000 for the study and protection of cetaceans in 

the Pacific for a total of $1,500,000. 

Observer/Training.—In addition to the amounts requested, the Committee provides programmatic increases of: $3,015,000 for Hawaiian Longline Observer Program for a total of $7,100,000. 

Fisheries Research and Management.—Within the amounts the 

Committee recommends programmatic increase of $750,000 for regulation activities associated with the Pacific Marine Monuments. 

Enforcement.—The Committee is encouraged by the administration’s request for vessel monitoring, and provides additional funding for a total of $1,500,000 for the program to continue the ongoing program to install electronic logbooks on shrimp boats as required to monitor and reduce bycatch, end overfishing, and rebuild 

overfished stocks including red snapper, and to ensure the sustainability of shrimp fisheries. The Committee notes that this program 

is inherent to the agency’s core mission and implementation of current shrimp fishery regulations, and expects that sufficient funding 

will be reflected in future budget requests. 

Regional Studies—Chesapeake Bay.—The Committee directs 

NOAA’s Chesapeake Bay Office to continue to collaborate with the 

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

resource species. In developing this program NOAA shall continue 

to utilize the Sea Grant Programs from both States. 

NOAA OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH

The Committee’s recommendation provides $419,781,000 for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research [OAR]. OAR programs provide the 

environmental research and technology needed to improve NOAA 

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

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

and joint institutes and partnership programs.

Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes.—Of the funds provided 

for Ocean, Coastal and Great Lakes Research, $3,200,000 is for the 

Northern Gulf Institute [NGI]. The NGI is a cooperative institute 

[CI] that was solicited and competitively selected by NOAA to develop regional approaches to ecosystem management, and research 

on the interface between human, watershed, coast, ocean, and atmosphere continuum. NGI won the competitive bid and has excelled in meeting its goals, as well as the ones independently established by NOAA. As a result, NGI has been held up as a model institute, created under the new CI process, and has had a major impact on regional approaches to research and educational program 

development. The Committee is disappointed that NOAA did not 

request any funding for this cooperative institute that NOAA itself 

created. The Committee believes this is yet another unfortunate example of NOAA’s failure to provide adequate services that address 

the pressing and critical needs in the Gulf of Mexico. The gulf region is a significant contributor to the Nation’s economy, and 

NOAA’s own data shows that the gulf experiences the highest frequency of severe weather and is affected by more disasters than 

any other region. Therefore, the Committee expects NOAA to end 

this inequity by providing adequate base funding for this activity 

in future budget requests. 

National Sea Grant College Program.—The Committee provides 

$63,085,000, of which $4,800,000 is for marine aquaculture research and $2,000,000 is for aquatic invasive species research; both 

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

Committee recognizes the important role the Sea Grant program 

plays in connecting coastal and Great Lakes communities with 

practical research and results, and encourages the growth of this 

program in future budget requests. 

Ocean Exploration.—The Committee continues to fund the Ocean 

Exploration program and the National Undersea Research Program 

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

recent Omnibus Public Lands Management Act (Public Law 111– 

11). The Committee provides additional funding for Ocean Explo-
36 

ration to further support ongoing operations in the Pacific and to 

advance exploration in the Indian Ocean. 

NOAA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE

The Committee’s recommendation provides $889,122,000 for the 

NOAA National Weather Service [NWS]. NWS programs provide 

timely and accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic 

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

Nation. NWS is also responsible for issuing operational climate 

forecasts for the United States.

National Centers for Environmental Prediction [NCEP].—The 

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

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

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

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

emerging scientific and technological advances. 

Williston Radar.—The Committee remains concerned about the 

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

NOAA is directed to continue operations and staffing at the 

Williston Radar Station until independent research substantiates 
37 

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

all light and heavy weather activity in the region. 

National Mesonet Program.—The Committee recommends 

$16,000,000 for continuation and expansion of the national mesonet 

program. Funds shall be allocated as follows: (1) $8,500,000 to 

maintain data procurements from existing surface in situ mesonet 

observations, including those observations added as a result of the 

fiscal year 2009 expansion of the National Mesonet program; (2) 

$6,000,000 for competitive expansion of the national mesonet program to include integration of additional surface in-situ observational data from existing networks, with 75 percent of the funds for 

data acquisition from urban and 25 percent for non-urban (rural, 

mountainous, and coastal) areas; (3) $500,000 for the National 

Mesonet Program Office for program oversight and data utilization 

initiatives; and (4) $1,000,000 for data validation tools for quality 

control and network monitoring and reliability, with up to $500,000 

of these funds for MADIS expansion. Funds for MADIS expansion 

should be contingent upon submission of a plan that shows a multiyear justification for why MADIS expansion is preferable to competitive procurement of tools developed by the private sector for the 

same purpose. The Committee is disappointed that the fiscal year 

2010 budget request ignored the 2009 National Research Council 

report, ‘‘Observing Weather and Climate From The Ground Up: A 

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

NOAA to include in its fiscal year 2011 budget a robust and expanded national mesonet program. Further, the Committee notes it 

required NOAA to submit a plan 90 days after enactment of the 

fiscal year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations on implementation of the 

national mesonet program, a deadline with which the Agency has 

not complied. The Committee expects this plan to be submitted 

within 30 days of the Committee filing its report on the fiscal year 

2010 Commerce, Justice, science and related agencies appropriations bill. 

NOAA NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE, DATA, AND

INFORMATION SERVICE

The Committee’s recommendation provides $176,065,000 for National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service 

[NESDIS]. NESDIS programs operate environmental polar-orbiting 

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

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

and Federal, State, and local agencies.

NOAA-WIDE PROGRAM SUPPORT

The Committee recommendation provides $432,240,000 for 

NOAA-wide program support. These programs provide for overall 

NOAA management, including staffing of the Under Secretary’s office and services to NOAA and DOC field offices through the regional Administrative Support Centers. These programs also support NOAA’s Education Office consistent with the recommendations of the Joint Ocean Commission. The facilities subactivity provides for repair and maintenance to existing facilities; facilities 

planning and design; and environmental compliance. The Office of 

Marine and Aviation Operations provides aircraft and marine data 

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

of future modernization, and technical and management support 

for NOAA-wide activities through the NOAA Commissioned Corps.

NOAA Education.—The Committee strongly supports NOAA’s 

education programs to increase environmental and ocean literacy 

and has provided an additional $6,957,000 to the budget request 

for competitive education grants. NOAA is encouraged to support 

informal education partnership efforts to use new online broadband 

and digital media technologies to improve STEM education related 

to weather, climate, the Great Lakes and the ocean. NOAA is also 

directed to use $2,500,000 of these funds to continue education and 

public outreach opportunities with accredited zoos and aquariums, 

an initiative created in fiscal year 2009. 

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

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

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

Marine Operation.—Within 90 days of enactment of this act, 

NOAA shall provide the Committee with a report recommending 

how the agency could modernize its Ketchikan, Alaska port facility, 

complete with cost estimates and priorities. 

Aviation Operations.—The Committee encourages NOAA, working with the Federal Aviation Administration, to continue to investigate the potential opportunities created, and the risks posed, by 

unmanned aerial vehicles [UAV] operating in civil air space. Recent 

advancements in UAV technology have progressed so much that 

these vehicles are on the cusp of conducting routine environmental 

missions as a matter of standard operations. NOAA’s unique aviation expertise, as a provider of quality control and a developer of 

national standards, is a valuable national asset to the UAV industry which clearly has the potential to conduct operations not only 

on behalf of NOAA programs, but also that of other agencies and 

even academia.

National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System [NPOESS].—The NPOESS program has struggled for years 

with cost overruns and schedule delays resulting in a high risk of 

gaps occurring to our Nation’s weather and climate satellite coverage. A recent independent review team tasked with assessing all 

aspects of the program found many overarching flaws, ultimately 

determining that NPOESS is a program with a low probability of 

success. This conclusion reinforces the Committee’s lack of confidence in the management of this important program. Although 

the administration provides the Committee with updates on the 

program’s milestones and setbacks, the Committee has not received 

long-term, realistic budget projections that coincide with a reformed strategic plan. Changes to the overall management structure are needed to bring the program back in line, which includes 

modifying the relationship between NOAA and the Department of 

Defense, and to enlist more help from an agency with real space 

acquisition experience, such as NASA. 

The administration has not responded to any recommendations 

from the recent review team, and the Committee was told that it 

could not expect any management changes until after the 2010 

budget is passed. Recognizing how critical this satellite program is 

to forecasting our Nation’s weather, the Committee’s recommendation fully funds the budget request for 2010 based on current information. However, the program’s long-term projections for success 

are dubious, and if NPOESS is to ultimately achieve its mission, 

the administration needs to disengage from its auto-pilot management style, start making responsible decisions and regain control 

of this unwieldy program. Within 30 days of enactment of this act, 

the administration is directed to provide the Committee with a new 

inter-agency management plan for NPOESS addressing all of the 

recommendations from every recent internal and external review. 

NOAA Cooperative Institute and Research Center for Southeast 

Weather and Hydrology.—$15,000,000 is provided for the continued 

construction of a research facility and weather related instrumentation and equipment. The Gulf of Mexico region lacks the infrastructure, research, and support from NOAA that other regions of 

the country have perpetually received. The Department of Com-
46 

merce and NOAA have continued to ignore this region’s vulnerability to weather-related disasters. Since 1980, the largest instances of billion dollar weather-related catastrophes have occurred 

in the gulf coast region. The loss of life and destruction of property 

from hurricanes, tropical storms, heat-waves, droughts, and flooding in this region have cost taxpayers approximately 

$652,000,000,000. NOAA’s own research shows that the Southeast 

experiences more severe weather events than any other part of the 

country—yet, federally funded climate and weather research in the 

region has lagged. The Committee notes this glaring void and encourages NOAA to work with Southeastern universities in establishing the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Southeast Weather and 

Hydrology. This coordinated effort will provide researchers a better 

understanding of the dynamics of weather and hydrology in the region.

TITLE II 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

The Committee recommends a total of $27,385,286,000 for the 

Department of Justice [DOJ]. The recommendation is 

$1,297,665,000 above the fiscal year 2009 funding level, excluding 

emergency supplemental appropriations, and $311,376,000 above 

the budget request. 

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

third and fourth generation communication networks, Americans 

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

and how they communicate than ever before. These technological 

advances will drive innovation and development across the economy. However, as witnessed by terrorists’ use of Blackberry devices 

in the recent tragedy in Mumbai, India, criminals are also capitalizing on emerging communications technologies. In the United 

States, State, local, and Federal law enforcement have used electronic surveillance to track down, apprehend, and prosecute members of drug trafficking organizations, violent transnational gangs, 

and child pornography and prostitution rings. The Attorney General’s recent announcement of Operation Xcellerator is one example 

of such success. 

The Committee is concerned that with the rapid deployment of 

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

Without a proactive approach to address these technological gaps, 

criminal investigations will be crippled. The Committee directs the 

Attorney General to report to the Committee no later than 120 

days after enactment of this act on whether the Department of Justice has the resources it needs to preserve law enforcement’s electronic surveillance capabilities in the face of third and fourth generation communication technologies. If not, the Committee directs 

the Attorney General to provide recommendations on what resources are necessary to ensure that Federal law enforcement 

agencies, as well as State and local law enforcement, maintain the 

technological capabilities to conduct lawful electronic surveillance. 

Agent Benefits.—The Committee is concerned that the Department of Justice does not provide comparable benefits to Foreign 

Service employees for DOJ employees working abroad. The Committee strongly believes that DOJ employees serving abroad in appropriately designated areas should receive the same pay, benefits, 

and compensation as other Foreign Service employees from other 

agencies. The Committee is also concerned about the continuing 

failure by the Department to address the practice of penalizing employees stationed abroad by denying them locality pay. This denial 

not only affects their paychecks but has long term negative con-
52 

sequences on their retirement calculations. The Committee directs 

the Department to address this and any other potentially related 

compensatory concerns immediately, and to submit a report to the 

Senate Committee on Appropriations not later than 90 days after 

enactment of this act which details what the Department has done 

to address this inequity. The Committee notes this report was required to be submitted by June 9, 2009 and the Department has 

failed to submit it. 

Indian Country Prosecutions.—The Committee is concerned 

about the Department’s refusal to disclose the rate of and reasons 

for U.S. Attorneys [USAs] declining to prosecute some of the most 

serious crimes on Indian Reservations. Based on Department of 

Justice data, the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs has found 

that the prosecution declination rate is higher than 60 percent for 

the most serious crimes committed on reservations. Therefore, the 

Committee directs the Attorney General to report to the Committee 

on Appropriations of the Senate and the Select Committee on Indian Affairs on the declination rate of crimes committed on reservations from fiscal years 2008 and 2009, as well as the reasons 

for declining to bring prosecutions. The report shall include a discussion of the USA’s criteria for determining when to bring a prosecution on Indian Country, including how it compares to the prosecution practices elsewhere in the United States and its contiguous 

territories. The Committee further directs that this report be completed no later than 180 days after enactment of this act.

House allowance .................................................................................... 88,285,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 95,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $95,000,000 for Justice Information Sharing Technology. The recommendation is 

15,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and 

$28,617,000 below the budget request. 

Cyber Security.—The Committee’s recommendation includes 

$27,439,0000 as requested, to strengthen DOJ’s cyber security program. The Committee supports the Department’s efforts to better 

protect its networks and other information technology assets and 

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

FISMA report card. The Committee urges the Department to exercise discretion in testing cyber security protections to ensure that 
54 

all relevant players have been alerted to the timing of these tests 

and to minimize any potential negative impact on DOJ employees. 

TACTICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $185,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 205,143,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 205,143,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 206,143,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $206,143,000 for Tactical Law Enforcement Wireless Communications. The recommendation is $21,143,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level and $1,000,000 above the budget request. 

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

narrowband wireless communications network. 

IWN Funding.—The Committee recommendation provides 

$21,143,000 within this account for the Integrated Wireless Network [IWN]. 

The request for IWN does not sufficiently address the Department’s communications deficiencies and will contribute to the ongoing delays in the nationwide deployment of their consolidated radio 

solution. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Department to use 

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

The Committee recognizes the need to modernize/upgrade aging/ 

failing systems along the Southwest border and in other areas of 

the country. 

Consistent with direction in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 111–8, all funds for IWN should be spent on 

modernization and improvement of land mobile [LMR] systems. 

Any plans related to secure cellular or data systems, or non-LMR 

tactical equipment, must be budgeted for and requested separately. 

To aid in program management and oversight, the Department is 

directed to set specific and detailed performance milestones for the 

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

milestones should be reported to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations within 60 days of the enactment of this act, and 

quarterly updates should be provided on the Department’s progress 

in meeting those milestones. Continued funding support for IWN in 

future years will be contingent on the Department’s success in 

achieving its milestones within cost, schedule and performance expectations. 

The Committee supports the broadest possible use of IWN across 

law enforcement agencies. However, the Department does not have 

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

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

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AND APPEALS

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $270,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 300,685,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 300,685,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 300,685,000 
55 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $300,685,000 for Administrative Review and Appeals. The recommendation is 

$30,685,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to 

the budget request. 

This account funds the Executive Office for Immigration Review 

[EOIR] including the Board of Immigration Appeals, immigration 

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

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

aliens whose status has been challenged. This account also funds 

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

considers petitions for all forms of executive clemency. 

Personnel and Infrastructure Increases.—The Committee recommendation includes $24,253,000 for personnel and infrastructure 

investments needed to efficiently process an increasing immigration adjudication caseload. Of this total, $10,250,000 is for the 

eWorld document management system to improve EOIR’s ability to 

store, distribute and archive its files. 

Legal Orientation Program [LOP].—The Committee recommendation includes $6,500,000, an increase of $2,500,000, for continued 

implementation and expansion of LOP. The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for Legal Orientation Programs 

for custodians of unaccompanied alien children to address the 

custodian’s responsibility for the child’s appearance at all immigration proceedings, and to protect the child from mistreatment, exploitation, and trafficking. 

DETENTION TRUSTEE

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $1,355,319,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,438,663,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,438,663,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,438,663,000 

1 Including $60,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,438,663,000 for 

the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee [OFDT]. The recommendation is $143,344,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level, not including supplemental funding, and equal to the budget 

request. 

The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee account provides 

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

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

either not requested sufficient resources to meet its projected needs 

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

seek Committee approval for reprogrammings to avert deficiencies. 

The Committee directs the Detention Trustee to report to the 

Committee on a quarterly basis the number of individuals in the 

detention trustee system, the projected number of individuals, and 

the annualized costs that are associated with them.

This account finances the activities of the Office of Inspector 

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

reviews of programs and operations of the Department of Justice 

to promote economy, efficiency and effectiveness, and to prevent 

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

standards arising from the conduct of Department employees in 

their numerous and diverse activities.

LEGAL ACTIVITIES

GENERAL LEGAL ACTIVITIES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 875,097,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 875,097,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 875,097,000 

1 Including $1,648,000 in supplemental funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $875,097,000 for General Legal Activities salaries and expenses. The recommendation is 

$71,090,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including 

supplemental funding, and equal to the budget request. 

This appropriation funds the establishment of litigation policy, 

conduct of litigation, and various other legal responsibilities, 

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

Criminal Division, the Civil Division, the Environmental and Nat-
57 

ural Resources Division, the Civil Rights Division, the Office of 

Legal Counsel, and Interpol. 

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

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

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

also particularly supportive of the additional resources proposed for 

the Civil Rights Division to restore its base capacity to enforce civil 

rights laws; expand its capacity to prosecute and provide litigation 

support for human trafficking and unsolved civil rights era crimes; 

carry out its responsibilities associated with the civil rights of institutionalized persons and the access of rights of the disabled; and 

enhance the enforcement of fair housing and fair lending laws. 

The Committee is concerned by the large number of suspected 

human rights violators from foreign countries who have found safe 

haven in the United States and directs the Criminal Division to increase efforts to investigate and prosecute serious human rights 

crimes committed by these foreign nationals, including genocide, 

torture, use or recruitment of child soldiers, and war crimes and 

other offenses committed by serious human rights violators. Within 

the available funds the Committee directs that $1,800,000 be allocated for attorneys, analysts, and support personnel in the Criminal Division. Pursuant to Public Law 111–8, the Department was 

required to hire an additional 10 attorneys, 6 analysts, and associated personnel to investigate and prosecute individuals who violate 

Federal laws on serious human rights abuses. The Committee is 

frustrated that the Department has still not hired requisite personnel for this important mission and directs the Department to 

submit to the Committee within 60 days of enactment of this act 

a report detailing what steps the Department has taken to hire 

requisite personnel to investigate and prosecute serious human 

rights crimes, including but not limited to criminal statutes on 

genocide, torture, use of child soldiers, and war crimes.

House allowance .................................................................................... 163,170,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 163,170,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $163,170,000 for the 

Antitrust Division. The recommendation is $5,382,000 above the 

fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the budget request. This 

appropriation is offset by $102,000,000 in pre-merger filing fee collections, resulting in a direct appropriation of $61,170,000. 

The Antitrust Division investigates potential violations of Federal antitrust laws, represents the interests of the United States in 

cases brought under these laws, acts on antitrust cases before the 

Supreme Court, and reviews decisions of regulatory commissions

1 Including $15,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,926,003,000 for 

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

$89,667,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including 

supplemental funding, and equal to the budget request. 

This account supports the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys 

[EOUSA] and the 94 U.S. Attorneys headquarters offices throughout the United States and its territories. The U.S. Attorneys 

[USAs] serve as the principal litigators for the U.S. Government for 

criminal and civil matters. As in past years, the Committee directs 

the U.S. Attorneys to focus their efforts on those crimes where the 

unique resources, expertise, or jurisdiction of the Federal Government can be most effective. The Committee expects that the resources provided be directed to the highest priorities of the USAs. 

Adam Walsh Act Implementation.—The Committee expects 

EOUSA to continue to focus on investigations and prosecutions related to the sexual exploitation of children, as authorized by the 
59 

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

109–248. Not less than $36,980,000 shall be available for this purpose in fiscal year 2010. 

Southwest Border Enforcement.—Within the funds provided, the 

Committee includes the requested programmatic increase of 

$8,127,000 and 75 positions to strengthen prosecutions of criminal 

enterprises, including human, drug, and weapon smuggling, along 

the Southwest border. 

Combating Financial Fraud.—Within funds provided, the Com- mittee includes the requested programmatic increase of $7,500,000 

and 43 positions to enhance efforts in areas of mortgage fraud, 

bankruptcy, affirmative civil enforcement, and white collar crimes. 

Human Trafficking.—The Committee directs the Executive Office 

of U.S. Attorneys, in consultation with the United States Attorneys, to designate a point of contact in each U.S. Attorney office 

who shall serve as the coordinator for all activities within that office concerning human trafficking and slavery matters covered by 

the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Designating a point of contact will improve communication and coordination within each jurisdiction, including victim service organizations, in order to better 

serve the victims of human trafficking and slavery. 

UNITED STATES TRUSTEE SYSTEM FUND

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $217,416,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 224,488,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 224,488,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 224,488,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $224,488,000 for the U.S. Trustee System Fund. The recommendation is $7,072,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the budget 

request. The appropriation is offset by $210,000,000 in fee collections and $5,000,000 derived from interest on investments in U.S. 

securities, resulting in a direct appropriation of $9,488,000. 

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

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

laws. In fiscal year 2010, the U.S. Trustee Program will participate 

in an estimated 1.5 million business and consumer bankruptcy case 

filings. To carry out its duties in these cases under the Bankruptcy 

Code (title 11) and title 28 of the United States Code, the U.S. 

Trustee Program is organized into three levels: the Executive Office 

for United States Trustees in Washington, DC; United States 

Trustees in 21 regions whose geographic jurisdiction is established 

by statute; and 95 field offices, which cover 150 court sites and 280 

other administrative hearing locations.

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

Committee expects that the Community Relations Service will 

partner with law enforcement agencies and communities in conflict, 

resulting from the investigation of unsolved civil rights era cold 

cases. 

The Community Relations Service, established by title X of the 

Civil Rights Act of 1964, provides assistance to communities and 

persons in the prevention and resolution of disagreements arising 

from discriminatory practices. 

ASSETS FORFEITURE FUND

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $20,990,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 20,990,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 20,990,000 

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

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

Assets Forfeiture Fund. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal 

year 2009 enacted level and to the budget request. 

The Assets Forfeiture Fund [AFF] provides funds for qualifying 

expenses of Federal law enforcement agencies and their State or 

local partners. Funds for these activities are provided from receipts 

deposited in the Assets Forfeiture Fund resulting from the seizure 
61 

and liquidation of assets. Expenses related to the management and 

disposal of assets are also provided from the Assets Forfeiture 

Fund by a permanent indefinite appropriation. 

UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $964,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,138,388,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,138,388,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,125,763,000 

1 Including $10,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,125,763,000 for 

the U.S. Marshals Service [USMS] salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $175,763,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level, not including supplemental funding, and $12,625,000 below 

the budget request because the difference is provided in the USMS 

construction account. 

The core missions of the USMS include the apprehension of fugitives, protection of the Federal judiciary, protection of witnesses, 

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

Judicial and Courthouse Security.—The Committee recommends 

an appropriation of $453,023,000 for judicial and courthouse security. The recommendation is $69,575,000 above the fiscal year 2009 

enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

Immigration Enforcement.—The Committee strongly supports the 

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

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

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

these additional resources will alleviate pressure on other Marshals 

programs. 

Sexual Offender Apprehension.—The Committee commends the 

U.S. Marshals Service for annualizing $15,812,000 of prior year 

supplemental funds into its 2010 budget request for enforcement of 

the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. The Committee 

is deeply concerned that the administration has failed to request 

any additional resources to expand this program beyond the current level of effort. To fulfill its Adam Walsh Act responsibilities, 

the U.S. Marshals Service requires funding to hire and equip at 

least 500 new Deputy Marshals over the next 3 to 5 years. The 

Committee recommendation includes an increase of $35,000,000 to 

expand Adam Walsh enforcement activities in districts across the 

country. This funding will also help establish the National Sex Offender Targeting Center, improve the agency’s information technology backbone, and reinforce the agency’s infrastructure so that 

Deputy Marshals have timely, accurate investigative information to 

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

Regional Fugitive Task Forces.—The Committee strongly supports the U.S. Marshals Service’s Regional Fugitive Task Forces 
62 

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

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

Marshals Service, within the increase provided above the enacted 

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

task forces and establish new task force capabilities in areas of the 

United States not currently served by RFTFs.

United States courthouses and Federal buildings, including but not 

limited to the creation, renovation, and expansion of prisoner movement areas, elevators, and other law enforcement and court security support space. Included in this recommendation for USMS construction is $12,625,000 that the administration requested in the 

Salaries and Expenses account. As in prior years, the Committee’s 

intent is to provide for all construction activity to support the mission of the USMS in protection of the Federal judiciary and other 

law enforcement activities.

National Security Division [NSD]. The recommendation is 

$4,149,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including 

supplemental funding and equal to the budget request. 

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

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

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

INTERAGENCY LAW ENFORCEMENT

INTERAGENCY CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMENT

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $515,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 537,507,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 528,569,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 515,000,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $515,000,000 for 

Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement. The recommendation is 
63 

equal to the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $22,507,000 below 

the budget request. 

The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement Account funds the 

Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces [OCDETF]. 

This program was created in 1982 to ensure a coordinated, multiagency approach to identifying, disrupting and dismantling those 

drug trafficking and money laundering organizations primarily responsible for the Nation’s illicit drug supply. Through its nine regional task forces, this program utilizes the seven Federal law enforcement agencies to target major drug trafficking organizations 

and their financial infrastructure. This account also funds the 

OCDETF Fusion Center [OFC], an operational intelligence center 

combining the analytical resources and intelligence information of 

the OCDETF member agencies and others. 

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $7,182,700,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 7,718,741,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 7,718,741,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 7,668,622,000 

1 Includes $117,600,000 in supplemental appropriation funding (Public Law 110–252). 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $7,668,622,000 for 

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

The recommendation is $520,922,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including supplemental funding, and $50,119,000 

below the budget request because the Committee provided 

$72,119,000 in the FBI Construction account. 

Five-Year Budget.—The Committee understands that the FBI’s 

fiscal year 2010 budget request was originally formulated under a 

5-year budget development process, but is concerned that it was 

not adopted by the administration. Implementation of a multi-year 

budget planning approach has been urged by the Committee in the 

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

allow the FBI to better participate in the Intelligence Community 

budget process. The Committee encourages the FBI to continue 

pursuing the 5-year budget within the administration. 

Surveillance.—The FBI’s surveillance program provides critical 

surveillance and mobility capabilities for national security and 

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

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

and criminals. Therefore, the Committee provides an additional 

$22,000,000 to hire additional personnel to help address these 

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

additional funds shall be spent on Special Surveillance Groups. 

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

cyber-related foreign intelligence operations to the United States is 

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

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

position to counter cyber threats as the only agency with the statu-
64 

tory authority, expertise, and ability to combine counterterrorism, 

counterintelligence, and criminal resources to neutralize, mitigate, 

and disrupt illegal computer-supported operations domestically. 

The Committee recognizes the FBI’s efforts and recommends the 

full request of $140,311,000 for this effort, which includes an additional 260 positions and $61,180,000 to further the FBI’s investigatory, intelligence gathering, and technological capabilities. 

Overseas Contingency Operations.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $101,066,000, as requested, for the 

annualization of the FBI’s terrorism supplemental funds. 

Records Management.—The Committee’s recommendation includes requested funding to continue records indexing and other 

preparations to make FBI’s case and administrative files universally searchable and accessible, and to ensure that they are useful 

intelligence and investigative tools. 

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

staffing levels have increased since 2001 and will increase again in 

fiscal year 2010. While the FBI has undergone a major reorganization of its mission priorities, the Committee is concerned that the 

Bureau has not adequately considered the proper distribution of its 

staffing to field offices around the country. As a result, staffing levels continue to vary dramatically from State to State, both in terms 

of the population of a State and the threats that exist within that 

State. As the FBI considers the distribution of new agents across 

the United States, the Committee encourages the FBI to also consider the allocation of agents to field offices that could alleviate disparities in the number of personnel between field offices. 

National Security.—The Committee recommends the full request 

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

continue to strengthen working relationships with other Federal, 

State and local partners. The Committee recommendation includes 

$4,170,054,000 in base funding and $268,946,000 in enhancements 

for national security initiatives, including $198,302,000 for domain 

and operations, $45,531,000 for surveillance, and $25,113,000 for 

strengthening the FBI workforce. 

Criminal Justice Information Services Division.—The Committee 

recommendation provides $651,000,000 including fee collections for 

the Criminal Justice Information Services Division [CJIS], including $285,000,000 in appropriated funds and $366,000,000 in user 

fees. 

Biometrics.—The FBI is uniquely situated to take a significant 

role in the expanding field of biometrics. Already, the FBI is a leader in using fingerprint and DNA identification for forensic purposes. The FBI’s Biometrics Technology Center will allow the FBI 

to standardize and effectively implement emerging biometric tools 

and services for the law enforcement community. Therefore, the 

Committee includes bill language to permit the FBI to transfer up 

to $30,000,000 in prior year user fees from the Salaries and Expenses account to the Construction account for the facility, if determined necessary by the FBI Director. In addition, the Committee 

directs that $23,000,000 in prior year user fee collections be made 

available for information technology equipment and infrastructure 

that is necessary for the facility. 
65 

Human Rights Violations.—The Committee is concerned by the 

large number of suspected human rights violators from foreign 

countries who have found safe haven in the United States and directs the FBI to increase efforts to investigate and support the 

criminal prosecution by the Department of Justice of serious 

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

crimes, and other offenses committed by serious human rights violators. The Committee directs, within available funds, $1,500,000 

for the establishment of a human rights unit at FBI headquarters, 

staffed by 10 agents and associated support personnel, to detect, investigate, and support the criminal prosecution of individuals who 

violate the Federal laws on serious human rights crimes, including 

but not limited to criminal statutes on child solider recruitment 

and use, genocide, torture, and war crimes. 

Civil Rights Enforcement.—Civil rights investigations are a top 

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

of violations of Federal civil rights laws, and supports the request 

of $46,315,000 for the civil rights program. The Committee expects 

these funds to be used for investigation of human trafficking, hate 

crimes, and cases pursued under the Emmitt Till Unsolved Civil 

Right Act. 

Critical Infrastructure.—The Committee is concerned that insufficient operations practices and substandard maintenance could result in systems failures and the unavailability of time-sensitive 

data to agents in the field. The Committee urges the Department 

of Justice to maintain and operate its critical facilities and physical 

infrastructure at the highest standard, consistent with industry 

best practices, to ensure that these systems can perform critical 

functions for the FBI. 

Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement.—Within funds provided, the Committee urges the FBI to continue to make the detection, investigation, and prosecution of domestic and international 

intellectual property crimes an investigative priority. The Committee also urges the FBI to continue field office collaboration with 

the U.S. Attorneys’ Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property 

Rights units and to continue to support the FBI Headquarters Intellectual Property Rights program coordination with the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property section. 

Innocent Images National Initiative [IINI].—The Committee recommendation provides $52,723,000 for the Innocent Images National Initiative. The Committee has provided this funding to address the critical requirements for Federal law enforcement in attacking the problem of child sexual exploitation and child victimization. 

Innocence Lost Initiative.—Every day children are being recruited 

and forced into child prostitution. Child victims are not voluntary 

participants; rather they are modern-day slaves forced into commercial sex abuse. To address this horrific crime, in 2003 the FBI 

in conjunction with the Department of Justice Child Exploitation 

and Obscenity Section and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children launched the Innocence Lost National Initiative. 
66 

Their combined efforts are aimed at addressing the growing problem of domestic sex trafficking of children in the United States. 

These efforts have rescued over 575 children, and led to the conviction of more than 300 child exploiters. The Committee applauds 

these efforts and provides $5,000,000 to hire an additional 10 

agents for the Innocence Lost Initiative. 

Mortgage Fraud.—The sub-prime mortgage crisis threatens the 

Nation’s economic security. Suspicious Activity Reports filed by 

various financial institutions increased almost 200 percent within 

the last 3 years alone, and show no signs of decreasing. This increase in mortgage fraud activity is greatly straining the FBI’s 

white-collar crime investigative capabilities. The Committee fully 

supports the requested $25,491,000 increase to hire 50 new agents 

to augment the current positions conducting mortgage fraud investigations. 

Retention and Relocation Bonuses.—The Committee is aware of 

continuing concerns about annuity losses and relocation costs associated with the implementation of the Field Office Supervisory 

Term Limit policy. In light of such concerns, and difficulties in filling leadership positions at the field supervisor level, the FBI revised the policy in December 2008 to extend term limit from 5 to 

7 years. Title V of this bill continues, and makes permanent, retention and relocation bonus authorities provided to the FBI under 5 

U.S.C. 5759. The Committee encourages the Bureau to use these 

authorities to provide appropriated compensation to agents who 

were relocated to high-cost areas or have been otherwise negatively 

affected by the implementation of the Field Office Supervisory 

Term Limit policy. 

CONSTRUCTION

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $153,491,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 142,796,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 132,796,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 244,915,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $244,915,000 for Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] construction. The recommendation is $91,424,000 above the fiscal year 2009 funding level and 

$102,119,000 above the budget request. Included in this recommendation for FBI construction is $72,119,000 that the administration requested in the Salaries and Expenses account for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities [SCIFs]. 

Biometrics Technology Center.—The Committee recommendation 

includes $97,600,009, as requested. The FBI’s Biometrics Technology Center [BTC] is a joint biometrics facility that will house 

both the FBI Biometrics Center of Excellence and the DOD’s Biometrics Fusion Center. The FBI is currently working with DOD in 

theater to collect and search biometrics information. This effort has 

shown the critical role emerging biometric technology has played in 

the war on terror, and as of March 2009, 2,400 known or suspected 

terrorists have been identified; over 75 high value identifications 

have been made; and over 30 improvised explosive devices [IED] 

makers have been identified. 

FBI Academy.—The Committee’s recommendation provides 

$10,000,000, for an Architectural and Engineering study to help de-
67 

termine the full scope of renovations/construction necessary for the 

FBI Academy. The FBI Academy was built in 1972, and has not 

undergone major renovation/upgrades since, aside from the addition of a dorm in 1988. The Academy is home to new agents for 

the first 21 weeks of their FBI career; is the setting for new intelligence analyst training; houses the National Academy; is the 

venue for the FBI’s Leadership Development Institute; and is the 

locale for various other FBI training opportunities. The Academy is 

continuously operating at maximum capacity, which leaves little 

opportunity for both scheduled and unscheduled renovation—a necessity due to the age of the Academy. In order to meet the FBI’s 

specialized training requirements it is imperative that the facilities 

are upgraded. 

Terrorist Explosive Devices Analytical Center [TEDAC].—TEDAC 

is a multi-agency center that enables a unified effort by law enforcement, intelligence, and military assets to technically and 

forensically exploit IEDs of interest to the U.S. Government worldwide in order to provide actionable intelligence to the offensive missions against terrorists and to support force protection. The inability to process and exploit devices on a timely basis prevents 

TEDAC and the FBI from producing and disseminating intelligence 

information to U.S. warfighters in theater, as well as U.S., State, 

local, and tribal law enforcement engaged in protecting the homeland. Without an increased capacity for the timely exploitation of 

devices, appropriate counter IED strategies and technologies cannot be developed to prevent and disrupt the use of these devices 

against U.S. personnel overseas and on U.S. territory. Therefore, 

the Committee provides an additional $30,000,000 for continued 

construction of a new TEDAC facility. 

DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $1,959,084,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 2,014,682,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 2,019,682,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,014,682,000 

1 Including $20,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $2,014,682,000 for 

the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA]. The recommendation 

is $75,598,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including supplemental funding, and equal to the budget request. The 

recommendation provides $251,790,000 from Drug Enforcement 

Administration’s Drug Diversion Control Fee Account. 

The DEA’s mission is to enforce the controlled substances laws 

and regulations of the United States and bring to the criminal and 

civil justice system of the United States, or any other competent jurisdiction, those organizations and principal members of organizations involved in the growing, manufacturing, or distribution of 

controlled substances appearing in or destined for illicit traffic in 

the United States; and to support non-enforcement programs aimed 

at reducing the availability of illicit controlled substances on the 

domestic and international markets. 
68 

Diversion Control Program.—Full funding of $251,790,000 is provided for the Diversion Control program, which is an increase of 

$2,706,000 for expanded forensic support of diversion cases and is 

fully offset with fee collections. 

Southwest Border Enforcement.—The Committee’s recommendation includes an increase of $24,075,000 in support of DEA’s enforcement efforts along the Southwest border. These resources will 

help DEA to expand its presence along the border, address increased workload related to narcotics seizures by DHS, and respond to specific field intelligence priorities. 

BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $1,068,215,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,114,772,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,105,772,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,114,772,000 

1 Including $14,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,114,772,000 for 

the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [ATF]. 

The recommendation is $60,557,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including supplemental funding, and equal to the 

budget request. 

The ATF’s mission is to reduce violent crime, prevent terrorism, 

and protect the public. ATF reduces the criminal use of firearms 

and illegal firearms trafficking, and assists other Federal, State, 

and local law enforcement agencies in reducing crime and violence. 

ATF investigates bombing and arson incidents and provides for 

public safety by reducing the criminal misuse of explosives, trafficking in explosives, combating acts of arson and arson-for-profit 

schemes, and removing safety hazards caused by improper and unsafe storage of explosive materials. 

Southwest Border Enforcement.—The Committee recommendation provides for the full request of $61,016,000 for ATF’s efforts 

to combat weapon trafficking on the border. This includes a 

$17,989,000 increase in support of ATF’s Project Gunrunner. 

Violent Crime Impact Teams.—The Committee continues to 

strongly support the ATF’s Violent Crime Impact Team [VCIT] initiative to pursue violent criminals and reduce the occurrence of 

homicides and firearms-related violent crime through the use of geographic targeting, proactive investigation, and prosecution of 

those responsible. The VCIT uses a multi-agency approach and 

work closely with State and local law enforcement to identify, target, disrupt, arrest, and prosecute violent criminals. 

Conversion of Records.—The Committee recognizes the need for 

ATF to complete the conversion of tens of thousands of existing 

Federal firearms dealer out-of-business records from film to digital 

images at the ATF National Tracing Center [NTC]. Once the outof-business records are fully converted, search time for these 

records will be reduced significantly. The Committee urges the ATF 

to continue the conversion and integration of these records. 

National Integrated Ballistic Information Network.—The Committee continues to support the National Integrated Ballistic Infor-
69 

mation Network [NIBIN], including significant investment made by 

State and local law enforcement partners to build the current 

NIBIN database. The Committee believes ATF should move expeditiously to ensure that ballistic-imaging technology is routinely refreshed, upgraded, and deployed to State and local law enforcement. The Committee urges ATF to prioritize the upgrading and 

replacement of aging ballistic imaging equipment in its fiscal year 

2010 operating budget and in future budget requests. ATF should 

ensure upgrades and replacements maximize and protect the resources invested by State and local law enforcement.

The Committee recommendation fully funds the request of 

$6,000,000 to complete Phase Two of the National Center for Explosives Research and Training [NCETR]. NCETR will further advance Federal, State and local government agencies to develop and 

maintain adequate domestic preparedness. The NCETR will also 

afford first responder, bomb technicians and investigators the 

training necessary to complete thorough and effective post-blast investigations. 

FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM

The Committee recommendation provides a total of 

$6,079,831,000 for the Federal Prison System, or Bureau of Prisons 

[BOP]. The recommendation is $94,614,000 below the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level, not including supplemental funding, and equal

Correctional Officer Staffing—The Federal prison population has 

grown explosively over the last 20 years. Rising from roughly 

25,000 prisoners in 1980, the population is estimated to grow to 

more than 210,000 by the end of fiscal year 2010. Correspondingly, 

the overcrowding rate is projected to rise to 38 percent in 2010, up 

from 37 percent in 2009. Chronic underfunding based on inadequate budget requests have forced BOP to rely excessively on correctional officer overtime and the diversion of program staff instead 

of hiring additional correctional officers, leaving the workforce 

spread dangerously thin and compromising BOP’s ability to operate 

in a safe and efficient manner. 

Although Congress provided an additional $160,000,000 above 

the request for fiscal year 2009, BOP used those additional funds 

to meet basic operational needs of its facilities, and plans no net 

increase in staffing in fiscal year 2009 to begin to address its 

understaffing problem. The Committee is extremely concerned that 

the proposed budget for fiscal year 2010 would once again not permit BOP to manage the basic operational needs of its prisons. 

Sexual Misconduct.—The Committee commends the BOP on its 

work to address and prevent sexual misconduct. With funds provided in earlier appropriations acts, the National Institute of Corrections has made useful progress in providing training and technical support to correctional systems throughout the country to 

eliminate staff sexual misconduct with inmates, provide training in 

investigating cases, and training the ‘‘trainers’’ in order that employees at every level will be more aware of, and better prepared 

to deal with, these cases. 

Inmate Care and Programs.—This activity covers the costs of all 

food, medical supplies, clothing, welfare services, release clothing, 

transportation, gratuities, staff salaries (including salaries of 

Health Resources and Services Administration commissioned officers), and operational costs of functions directly related to providing inmate care. This decision unit also finances the costs of 

education and vocational training, drug treatment, religious programs, psychological services, and other inmate programs such as 

Life Connections. 

Institution Security and Administration.—This activity covers 

costs associated with the maintenance of facilities and institution 

security. This activity finances institution maintenance, motor pool 

operations, powerhouse operations, institution security and other 

administrative functions. Finally, this activity covers costs associated with regional and central office executive direction and management support functions such as research and evaluation, systems support, financial management, budget functions, safety, and 

legal counsel. 

Contract Confinement.—This activity provides for the confinement of sentenced Federal offenders in Government-owned, contractor-operated facilities, contracts with State and local facilities, 

the care of Federal prisoners in contract community residential 

centers, and assistance by the National Institute of Corrections to 

State and local corrections. This activity also covers costs associated with management and oversight of contract confinement functions. 
71 

Activations and Expansions.—The Committee expects BOP to adhere to the activation schedule included in BOP’s budget submission. BOP shall notify the Senate Committee on Appropriations of 

any deviations to this schedule. 

Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary.—The Committee recognizes the importance of ensuring that the Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary [ADX], also known as 

‘‘Supermax,’’ has adequate funding to retain staff levels necessary 

to provide strict oversight of prisoner activities and communications; and to ensure the safety of prison staff. Further, the facility 

has a pressing need to upgrade its security infrastructure. The 

Committee urges the Federal Bureau of Prisons to allocate funding 

necessary to address these safety requirements. 

National Institute of Corrections [NIC].—The NIC provides valuable training and services, including research and evaluation, technical assistance, information sharing and planning to State and 

local adult corrections agencies, the BOP and other Federal agencies. To address deficiencies indentified by the U.S. Census Bureau 

in the reporting of inmate address information, the Committee encourages NIC to work with State corrections agencies to develop 

better procedures and systems for collecting and maintaining corrections records. 

Second Chance Act implementation.—The Second Chance Act 

(Public Law 110–199) imposed new requirements on BOP to facilitate the successful reentry of offenders back into their communities 

and reduce the rate of recidivism. Among those requirements are 

the establishment of recidivism reduction goals and increased collaboration with State, tribal, local, community, and faith-based organizations to improve the reentry of prisoners. The Committee is 

aware that BOP is currently developing and Inmate Skills Development [ISD] strategy, as required by Second Chance Act, to assess 

prisoner’s skills upon incarceration and provide programming 

based on that assessment to fill skill deficits and address other reentry needs. The Committee recommendation includes $13,778,000 

and 61 FTE for ISD and other Second Chance Act activities as proposed by the Department. The Committee notes, however, BOP has 

indicated that approximately $80,000,000 is required to fully implement its Second Chance Act responsibilities. The Committee expects the Department to propose significant additional funding for 

this purpose in the fiscal year 2011 budget request.

House allowance .................................................................................... 96,744,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 99,155,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $99,155,000 for the 

construction, modernization, maintenance, and repair of prison and 

detention facilities housing Federal prisoners. The recommendation 

is $476,652,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, excluding 

emergency supplemental appropriations, and $2,411,000 above the 

budget request. The Committee recommendation provides for $73,769,000 for 

modernization and repairs. 
72 

The Committee’s recommendation includes $25,386,000 for new 

construction to enable the Bureau of Prisons to reduce the backlog 

of new construction projects. Although BOP plans to activate four 

new prisons in 2014 (FCI Midwestern/Leavenworth, Kansas; USP 

South Central/Forrest City, Arkansas; USP El Reno (Western); 

USP Bennettsville, South Carolina), it will be unable to maintain 

that schedule without a significant new construction appropriation 

by fiscal year 2011. The Committee notes, however, that even if 

BOP stays on track in activating planned new prisons, it will add 

approximately 13,000 new beds between 2010 and 2014 at the 

same time the BOP population is expected to grow by 22,500. The 

Committee expects the Department to ensure that the fiscal year 

2011 budget proposal for BOP contains sufficient resources to at 

least stay on track with its current plan to activate new prisons, 

and for BOP to address its M&R backlog.

1 Includes $225,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111– 

5) funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $435,000,000 for Office on Violence Against Women [OVW] grants. The recommendation is $20,000,000 above fiscal year 2009 enacted level, excluding 

funds provided in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 

(Public Law 111–5), and $21,000,000 above the budget request. As 

in fiscal year 2009, the Office on Violence Against Women is funded 

as its own heading under this title. 

Domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking 

are crimes of epidemic proportions that impact millions of individuals and every community in the United States. For 15 years, Violence Against Women Act [VAWA] programs have supported community efforts around the Nation to effectively respond to domestic 

violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. In the 109th 

session, Congress unanimously passed a VAWA reauthorization to 

continue successful programs and create targeted new programs to 
73 

address gaps in prevention services, housing, healthcare, criminal 

justice, and employment issues, and meet the needs of youth, native women, communities of color, and victims of sexual violence. 

These programs are designed to meet specific needs and create collaborations between distinct groups that can leverage their expertise and resources to address different aspects of domestic and sexual violence. 

The Committee recognizes the often underlying connections between domestic violence and a variety of related social ills, including youth violence, homelessness and substance abuse. The Committee believes that Violence Against Women Act programs not 

only provide critical services to victims fleeing from life-threatening 

violence but also addresses these costly social problems. 

Domestic violence impacts one in four American women over 

their lifetimes and 15.5 million children are exposed to domestic violence each year. Though the incidence of domestic violence assaults and murders has steadily decreased, there is an increase in 

demand for services due to improved criminal justice response, 

heightened public awareness, and victims’ willingness to come forward. 

Victims rely on services to escape violence and rebuild their lives. 

When victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence 

or stalking take the difficult step to reach out for help, many are 

in life-threatening situations and must be able to find immediate 

refuge. Given the dangerous and potentially lethal nature of these 

crimes, the Committee’s funding recommendation reflects its belief 

that it is more important than ever to increase investments in efficient, cost-effective, proven programs that save lives and prevent 

future violence. 

The Committee encourages the Department of Justice to work together with the Office on Violence Against Women to address the 

intersection of domestic violence and sexual assault with crimes 

such as gang violence, child abuse and trafficking. This collaboration would save money across sectors by preventing many of these 

crimes. 

The most recent VAWA reauthorization included a new emphasis 

on prevention and early intervention programs to stop violence before it begins or becomes life-threatening. The Committee recommends funding for several evidence-based programs to prevent 

domestic and sexual violence, including providing services for children who have been exposed to family violence and working with 

men and youths to change attitudes that support or condone violence. 

The table below displays the Committee recommendations for the 

programs under this office.

STOP Grants.—Within the funds appropriated, $200,000,000 is 

for general formula grants to the States. The fiscal year 2010 recommendation will allow jurisdictions to implement mandatory proarrest and prosecution policies to prevent, identify, and respond to 

violent crimes against women, support coordination of State victim 

services, assist Native victims in Indian country, and provide secure settings and specialized procedures for visitation and exchange of children in families experiencing domestic violence. The 

recommendation supports increasing access to comprehensive legal 

services for victims, providing short term housing assistance and 

support services for domestic violence victims and education and 

training to end violence against and abuse of women with disabilities. 

Sexual Assault Services Act [SASA].—The Committee’s recommendation provides $15,000,000 to directly funds the needs of 

sexual assault victims. 

One in 6 women and 1 in 33 men have experienced an attempted 

or completed rape. More than one-half of all rapes of women occur 

before they reach the age of 18. In 2007, an estimated 250,000 people were raped or sexually assaulted; however, only 42 percent of 

rape and sexual assault victims say they reported the crime to the 

police. As part of the Violence Against Women Act of 2005, Congress created the Sexual Assault Services Program [SASP] to address gaps in services to sexual assault victims and their families. 

While Congress has worked to ensure that crime controls are in 

place to address sexual offenders, Congress also wants to ensure 

that there is a dedicated stream of funding to provide a broad 

range of services to male, female and child sexual assault victims 

and their families through the well-established and well-regarded 

system of community-based rape crisis centers throughout the 

United States. These agencies’ ability to serve the needs of victims 

has been hampered by a significant lack of resources. SASP ad-
75 

dresses this lack of resources and meets the distinct need to 

strengthen the continuum of intervention responses to sexual assault victims, their families and the community. 

Congress is firmly committed to ensuring that these rape crisis 

centers have access to technical assistance, training and support. 

SASP will provide such assistance through sexual assault coalitions 

located in every State, territory and within a number of tribes. 

Addressing Violence Against Native Women.—Recent research 

has called attention to the dire needs of Indian tribes to address 

violence against Native women. The lack of a tribal order or protection and sex offender registry prevents Indian tribes from accessing 

and sharing this life-saving information. While American Indian 

women are victimized at more than double the rate of any other 

population of women in the United States, not a single comprehensive study of rates of violence has been conducted. The Committee 

recognizes this and includes funding to conduct research to help 

document the extent and nature of violence against Native women 

and to establish a tribal registry to enhance enforcement of tribal 

protection orders and monitoring of sex offenders. 

Services for Children and Youth.—As many as 10 million children a year witness violence in the home, and according to the Department of Justice girls and young women ages 16 to 24 experience the highest rates of intimate partner violence. Recognizing the 

need to intervene early in this cycle of abuse and prevent future 

violence, the Committee is funding two new programs that support 

services for young people exposed to violence in the home and teens 

experiencing violence in their own relationships. 

Management and Administration.—The Committee recommends 

maintaining the salaries and expenses account structure established in the fiscal year 2009 enacted law to fund the management 

and administrative costs of OVW and other Justice Department 

grant programs. No administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the programs funded from this account. 

OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS

Management and Administration.—The Committee recommends

The Committee’s recommendation provides $215,000,000 for Justice Assistance. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level and $10,000,000 below the budget request. 

The Justice Assistance program provides support to State and 

local law enforcement. Funding in this account provides for assistance in the form of research, evaluation, statistics, regional infor-
76 

mation sharing, programs to assist the National Center for Missing 

and Exploited Children, and victim notification assistance.

National Institute of Justice [NIJ].—The Committee’s recommendation provides $48,000,000 for the NIJ. NIJ’s mission is to 

advance scientific research, development, and evaluation to advance the administration of justice and public safety. The Committee directs that prior to the obligation of any funds, NIJ submit 

a spend plan on how resources will be allocated. 

DNA and Forensics Initiative.—Within amounts provided for the 

NIJ, the Committee recommends $5,000,000 to assist with 

forensics and DNA. Within the amounts provided, OJP shall transfer $1,000,000 to support the continuation of the development of 

standards and standard reference materials at the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] Office of Law Enforcement Standards [OLES], to maintain quality and proficiency within 

Federal, State, and local crime laboratory facilities. 

Office of Science and Technology [OS&T].—The Committee continues to support the efforts of the leadership of the NIJ’s OS&T 

and the continuing partnership that OS&T has developed with the 

National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST]. To implement the mission of OS&T, the Committee recommends 

$25,000,000 for OS&T. 

Victim Notification.—The Committee’s recommendation provides 

$12,000,000 for the Bureau of Justice Assistance [BJA] to continue 

the State Automated Victim Notification grant program to allow 

States to join the National Victim Notification Network. No funding may be utilized from within the Victims Assistance Program for 

this initiative and funds provided under this heading shall require 

a 50 percent match from State, local, and private sources. 

Regional Information Sharing System.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $45,000,000 for the Regional Information 

Sharing System [RISS]. The Committee supports RISS and its role 

in implementing the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan. 

The RISS program maintains six regionally based information net-
77 

works that provide for the automated exchange of crime and terrorism information between Federal, State, and local agencies. 

Missing Children Program.—The issue of child abduction and exploitation today is part of the national conscience due to the numerous child pornography and missing children cases. OJP works 

with law enforcement agencies to target, dismantle, and prosecute 

predatory child molesters and those who traffic in child pornography. The Committee continues to strongly support the Missing 

and Exploited Children Program run by the BJA. The Committee 

recommends $70,000,000 to continue to expand efforts to protect 

the Nation’s children, focusing on the areas of locating missing children, and addressing the growing wave of child sexual exploitation 

facilitated by the Internet.

The Committee’s recommendation provides $1,159,000,000 for 

State and local law enforcement assistance. The recommendation is 

$169,500,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, excluding 

supplemental appropriations and funds provided in the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111–5), and

Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants.—The Committee is 

concerned that the September 30, 2008, expiration of the crime reporting ‘‘transition rule,’’ established by 42 U.S.C. 3755(d)(2)(B), 

has resulted in approximately 1,000 communities falling out of eligibility for Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants [Byrne-JAG] 

direct local awards. A number of these communities have high 

crime rates and were unaware that, effective October 1, 2008, compliance with State crime reporting requirements no longer ensured 

compliance with Byrne-JAG reporting requirements. The Committee encourages these communities to come into compliance with 

current Byrne-JAG reporting requirements and directs the Department of Justice to collect, process, and validate this information as 

expeditiously as possible in order to ensure fiscal year 2010 eligibility. 

Nationwide Pegasus Program.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $10,000,000 to support the Nationwide Pegasus Program to bring information exchange capability to rural areas. Nationwide information exchange capabilities for local law enforcement and other essential frontline responders is a critical need. 

Pegasus is a multistate, criminal justice information-sharing program that fills that unmet critical need for data exchanges between 

local-to-local law enforcement, and across State boundaries and 

State and Federal agencies. 

Capital Litigation.—The Committee’s recommendation provides 

$5,500,000 for Capital Litigation Improvement Grants, as authorized in the Justice For All Act, Public Law 108–405. The Committee directs that any grants provided for the Capital Litigation 

Improvements, shall be provided pursuant to section 426 of the 

Justice For All Act. 

SEARCH National Technical Assistance and Training Program.—The Committee supports efforts to assist States, such as 

West Virginia in the development and use of information through 

criminal justice information systems to accelerate the automation 

of their fingerprints identification processes and criminal justice 

data identification processes so that State and local law enforce-
79 

ment which are compatible with the FBI’s Integrated Automated 

Fingerprint Identification System. 

John R. Justice Grants.—The Committee’s recommendation pro- vides $10,000,000 pursuant to section 952 of Public Law 110–315, 

which authorizes student loan repayment assistance for State and 

local prosecutors and public defenders, as well as Federal public 

defenders, to complement existing student loan repayment options 

for Federal prosecutors. The John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive address the serious problems prosecutor and public defender offices across the country face in recruiting and retaining qualified attorneys. The Committee supports targeted student 

loan repayment assistance to talented prosecutors and public defenders in exchange for a commitment to continue their work in the 

criminal justice system. 

Human Trafficking.—The United States is a destination country 

for thousands of men, women, and children trafficked largely from 

Mexico and East Asia, as well as countries in South Asia, Central 

America, Africa, and Europe, for the purposes of sexual and labor 

exploitation. In the last year there have been over 1,200 incidents 

of trafficking in the United States. Trafficking victims are subjected to physical, mental, and even sexual abuse. Victims need 

various types of assistance to begin healing and recovery including 

counseling, housing, medical care, support groups, and legal assistance. Therefore, the Committee provides $15,000,000 for victim 

services for U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and foreign national victims of trafficking and the Committee directs that these 

funds be used for victim services grants. 

Edward Byrne Discretionary Grants.—The Committee recommendation provides $178,500,000 for discretionary grants to 

help to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system with 

an emphasis on drugs, violent crime, and serious offenders. The 

Committee provides funding for the following congressionally directed projects, and directs the Department of Justice to refrain 

from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee 

expects that the Department of Justice will provide appropriate 

management and oversight of each grant. Within the amounts appropriated for discretionary grants OJP shall fund the following 

congressionally designated projects:

Byrne Competitive Grants.—The Committee’s recommendation 

includes $40,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed grants to programs of national significance to prevent crime, improve the administration of justice or assist victims of crime. Of the total, 

$8,000,000 is for OJP’s Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking [SMART] activities to help with implementation of requirements under the Adam 

Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Public Law 109– 

248). Within 90 days of enactment of this act, OJP is directed to 

provide a report and spend plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, which detail the criteria and methodology 

that will be used to award these grants. The Committee expects 

that OJP will take all steps necessary to ensure fairness and objectivity in the award of these and future competitive grants. It is expected that national programs that have previously received funding under the Byrne discretionary program will be eligible to compete for funding under this competitive grant program, including 

programs for which specific amounts are designated in this act. 

Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act.—The Committee 

fully supports the goals of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights 

Crime Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–344). Racially motivated murders from the civil rights era constitute some of the greatest scars 

upon U.S. history. The Committee recommendation provides 

$2,000,000 from within Byrne competitive grants to help State and 

local law enforcement agencies investigate and prosecute unsolved 

civil rights cold cases. 

Border Prosecution Initiative.—The Committee’s recommendation 

provides $25,000,000 for funding to assist State and local law enforcement, including prosecutors, probation officers, courts and detention facilities along both the Southern and Northern borders related to the investigation and prosecution of drug and immigration 

cases referred from Federal arrests. 

Drug Courts.—The Committee’s recommendation provides 

$40,000,000 for the Drug Court program to fully fund the authorized level. Drug courts greatly improve substance abuse treatment 

outcomes, substantially reduce crime, and produce significant societal benefits. The Committee notes that a new study funded by the 

U.S. Department of Justice, conducted by The Urban Institute’s 

Justice Policy Center, ‘‘To Treat or Not to Treat: Evidence on the 

Prospects of Expanding Treatment to Drug-Involved Offenders,’’ 

found that drug courts yield a substantial reduction in crime and 

more than $1,000,000,000 of annual cost savings. The Committee 

is concerned that the while the study found that there are 1.47 million arrestees who are legally and clinically eligible for Drug Court, 

only 55,000 are currently served by the program. The committee 

supports the expansion of drug courts in order to bring this the 

Drug Court Program to scale and effectively address this population. 

Second Chance Act.—The Second Chance Act (Public Law 110– 

199) is a comprehensive response to improve outcomes for people 

released from prisons and jails and returning to our communities. 

Each year, nearly 670,000 people are released from State prisons 

and approximately 9 million are released from jails. A 2002 study 

by the Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated more than two-thirds 
89 

of individuals released from prisons in 1994 were rearrested for a 

new offense within 3 years and more than 50 percent returned for 

committing new crimes or for violating their conditions of supervision. And at least 95 percent of the individuals now in prison will 

be released and will return to communities, often without assistance or services. 

According to the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, an estimated 95 percent of all State prisoners will be released—with one-half of these individuals expected to return to 

prison within 3 years for the commission of a new crime or violation of their conditions of release. This cycle of recidivism not only 

compromises public safety, but also increases taxpayer spending. A 

February 2007 report from The Pew Charitable Trusts stated that 

if Federal, State, and local policies and practices do not change, 

taxpayers are expected to pay as much as $27,500,000 on prisons 

alone from 2007 to 2011 on top of current corrections spending. 

Adult and Juvenile Offender State and Local Re-entry Demonstration.—The Second Chance Act re-authorizes the Adult and 

Juvenile Offender State and Local Re-entry Demonstration Projects 

(sec. 101) to help States and communities test ways to reduce recidivism and address the alarming recidivism rates nationwide. 

The demonstration projects will provide grants to States and local 

governments that may be used to promote the safe and successful 

reintegration into the community of individuals who have been incarcerated. The Committee recognizes that State and local governments buckling under the pressure of unprecedented growth in jail 

and prison populations, and therefore provides $25,000,000 for this 

important program to ensure public safety through initiatives 

geared at returning offenders. 

Mentoring Grants.—The Second Chance Act authorizes the Prisoner Re-entry Mentoring (sec. 211) grants to allow community and 

faith-based groups to recruit, train and match returning inmates 

with mentors. Having a mentor often means the difference between 

success and failure for inmates during their first, difficult days of 

transition from incarceration to freedom. The grants to nonprofit 

organizations may also be used for transitional services for re-integration into the community. 

Mentoring programs have been proven to significantly reduce recidivism. The grants to nonprofit organizations for mentoring and 

transitional services are a key element in reducing recidivism rates 

nationwide. For this initiative, the Committee recommendation 

provides $15,000,000. 

Grants for Family Based Substance Abuse Treatment.—The Second Chance Act authorizes family based substance abuse treatment 

grants (sec. 113). For this purpose, the Committee recommendation 

provides $5,000,000 for grants to develop, implement, and expand 

comprehensive and clinically appropriate family based substance 

abuse treatment programs as alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent parent drug offenders. Funds may also be used to provide 

prison-based family treatment programs for incarcerated parents of 

minor children.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 407,000,000 

The mission of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 

Prevention [OJJDP] is to provide national leadership, coordination 

and resources to prevent and respond to juvenile delinquency and 

victimization. OJJDP supports States, tribes and local communities 

in efforts to develop, implement and improve the juvenile justice 

system in order to protect the public safety, hold offenders accountable, and provide treatment and rehabilitative services tailored to 

the needs of juveniles and their families. The Committee’s recommendation provides $407,000,000 for ju- venile justice programs. The recommendation is $33,000,000 above 

the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $90,000,000 above the budget request.

Juvenile Justice Summary.—Established in 1974 and most recently authorized in 2002 with bipartisan support, the Juvenile 

Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act [JJDPA]—together with 

the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant [JABG]—embodies a partnership between the Federal Government and the States, territories and the District of Columbia to protect children and youth 

in the juvenile and criminal justice system, to effectively address 

high-risk and delinquent behavior, and to improve community safe-
91 

ty. Recent adolescent brain development research demonstrating 

the importance of the teen years in the establishment of an individual’s ‘‘executive functions’’ (decisionmaking, understanding consequences, planning, and impulse control), coupled with strong 

data from evaluations of effective prevention and intervention approaches, reveal the critical importance of these Federal investments in shaping the lives of millions of at-risk youth and enhancing the safety of our neighborhoods. 

Title II, Part B of the JJDPA: State Formula Grants Program.— Through this program, OJJDP provides funds directly to States, 

territories, and the District of Columbia to help them to support increased availability of effective prevention and intervention programs, to implement comprehensive State juvenile justice plans 

based on detailed studies of needs in their jurisdictions, as well as 

to implement juvenile justice system improvements to achieve compliance with the core requirements of the JJDPA. For example, 

State formula grants have supported Multisystemic Therapy, 

shown to cut rates of juvenile offender rearrests in half. 

Safe Start Initiative.—Within the amounts provided for part B State formula grants, the Committee recommends $5,000,000 for 

the Safe Start Initiative, which prevents and reduces the impact of 

children’s exposure to violence in both the home and the community. The goal of the Safe Start Initiative is to broaden the knowledge of and promote community investment in evidence-based 

strategies for reducing the impact of children’s exposure to violence. The Department had proposed funding for this through the 

Office on Violence Against Women. 

Title V of the JJPDA: Grants for Local Delinquency Prevention 

Programs.—Commonly known as the Community Prevention 

Grants Program, title V funds collaborative, community-based delinquency prevention efforts to reach youth in high-risk situations. 

For example, a study compared five housing projects without community based programs to reach youth to five receiving these programs. At the beginning, drug activity and vandalism were the 

same. But by the time the study ended, the projects without the 

programs had 50 percent more vandalism and scored 37 percent 

worse on drug activity. 

Juvenile Accountability Block Grant [JABG].—JABG provides 

States and units of local government with funds to develop programs to promote greater accountability in the juvenile justice system, including building, expanding, and operating juvenile facilities; training correctional personnel, hiring additional judges, prosecutors, probation officers, and court-appointed defenders; and 

funding pre-trial services for juveniles. The purpose areas of JABG 

were expanded significantly under the 2002 and 2005 reauthorizations to provide for: graduated sanctions programs that include 

counseling, restitution, community service, and supervised probation; more substance abuse programs; mental health screening and 

treatment; restorative justice programs; gang prevention; anti-bullying initiatives; and offender re-entry approaches. 

Part G of the JJDPA: Juvenile Mentoring.—Juvenile Mentoring 

enables communities to run high-quality mentoring programs. For 

example, a study of a national juvenile mentoring program found 

that those in the program were one-half as likely to begin illegal 
92 

drug use and nearly one-third less likely to hit someone compared 

to those who were randomly assigned to a waiting list. 

Funding for OJJDP.—Authorized under title II, part A of the 

JJDPA, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention 

[OJJDP], a component of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of 

Justice Programs, supports States and communities in their efforts 

to develop and implement effective and coordinated prevention and 

intervention programs and to improve the juvenile justice system 

in order to enhance public safety, prevent delinquency, protect children and provide treatment and rehabilitative services tailored to 

the needs of juveniles and their families. OJJDP provides for training, technical assistance, research, and evaluation to identify ‘‘what 

works’’ and to disseminate that information widely to State and 

local program personnel. 

Discretionary Grants.—The Committee’s recommendation pro- vides $82,000,000 for part E programs. The Committee provides 

funding for the following congressionally designated projects, and 

directs the Department of Justice to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects that the Department of Justice will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant. Within the amounts provided, OJP shall fund 

the following congressionally designated projects:

Youth Mentoring Grants.—To support the critical work of national, regional and local organizations in nurturing and mentoring 

at-risk children and youths, the Committee recommends 

$100,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed youth mentoring 

grants. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, OJP is directed to 

provide a report and spend plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, which detail the criteria and methodology 

that will be used to award these grants. The Committee expects 

that OJJDP will take all steps necessary to ensure fairness and objectivity in the award of these and future competitive grants. It is 

expected that national programs that have received funding under 

the Byrne discretionary grants program or the Juvenile Justice 

Part E program will be eligible for funding under this competitive 

grant program, including programs for which specific amounts are 

designated in this act. 

Gang Education Initiative.—The Committee’s recommendation 

provides $10,000,000 for an anti-gang education initiative. 

Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws Program.—Within the 

funds provided in the At-Risk Children Program (title V), the Committee provides $25,000,000 for grants to assist States in enforcing 

underage drinking laws. 

Victims of Child Abuse Act.—The Committee’s recommendation 

provides $25,000,000 for the various programs authorized under 

the Victims of Child Abuse Act [VOCA] (Public Law 101–647). 

Within the funds provided, $5,000,000 shall be for Regional Child 

Advocacy Centers Programs. The Regional Children’s Advocacy 

Centers [RCACs] were established through the Victims of Child 

Abuse Act to provide information, consultation, training, and technical assistance to communities, and to help establish child-focused 

programs that facilitate and support coordination among agencies 

responding to child abuse. The RCACs and the National Children’s 

Alliance [NCA] have identified several joint initiatives which include: developing centers in underserved areas; support and development of Tribal CACs; constituent involvement; marketing; and 

public awareness. In working on these initiatives, the RCACs have 

created programs such as the National Training Academy, which 

trains professionals and multi-disciplinary teams investigating 

child abuse, and the telemedicine pilot project, which assists remote areas in investigating child abuse.

House allowance .................................................................................... 70,100,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 70,100,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $70,100,000 for public 

safety officers benefits. The recommendation is $49,000,000 below 

the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

Within funds provided, $61,000,000 is for death benefits for survivors, an amount estimated by the Congressional Budget Office 

and considered mandatory for scorekeeping purposes. The Committee also recommends $9,100,000, as requested, for disability 

benefits for injured officers and education benefits for the families 
98 

of officers who have been permanently disabled or killed in the line 

of duty. 

This mandatory program provides a one-time death benefit payment to eligible survivors of Federal, State, and local public safety 

officers whose death was the direct and proximate result of a traumatic injury sustained in the line of duty or certain eligible heart 

attacks or strokes.

1 Includes $1,000,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 

111–5) funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $658,500,000 for community oriented policing services. The recommendation is 

$108,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including 

supplemental funding and $102,500,000 below the budget request. 

Local law enforcement is not only essential to ensure the safety 

of the public, but also plays a critical role in preventing and responding to terrorist threats. Since its creation, the Community 

Oriented Policing Services [COPS] office has assisted State and 

local law enforcement agencies by providing grants, training, and 

technical assistance that not only ensure public safety from traditional crime, but also better enables law enforcement officers to address the growing threat from terrorist organizations.

Training and Technical Assistance.—The Committee’s recommendation provides for $10,000,000 for COPS to provide Training and Technical Assistance to assist agencies with developing innovative community policing strategies through applied research 

and evaluation initiatives. 

Bulletproof Vests.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $30,000,000 for COPS testing of bulletproof vests. Of the amount 

provided $1,500,000 is for the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology’s [NIST] Office of Law Enforcement Standards [OLES] 

to continue supporting the ballistic and stab-resistant material 

compliance testing programs, as well as for other technical support 

related to public safety weapons and protective systems. 

Tribal Law Enforcement.—The Committee’s recommendation pro- vides $20,000,000 for tribal law enforcement efforts, which is the 

same as the budget request. The recommendation combines funds 

in this heading with funds previously appropriated under State 

and Local Law Assistance. These funds may be used for training, 

hiring equipment, court improvement projects, and alcohol and substance abuse reduction programs. 

COPS Technology.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $187,000,000 for the COPS Law Enforcement Technology Program. 

Within the funds provided, $1,500,000 shall be transferred to NIST 

to continue the efforts of the Office of Law Enforcement Standards 

[OLES] in developing a comprehensive suite of minimum standards 

for law enforcement communications. In addition, these funds 

should be used to support the development and implementation of 

a compliance assessment program to ensure that communications 

equipment purchased through this grant program is compliant, 

where applicable with existing standards. 

The Committee provides funding for the following congressionally 

designated projects, and directs the Department of Justice to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects that the Department of Justice will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant. Within the 

amounts provided, the COPS program office shall fund the following congressionally designated projects:

Interoperable Standards.—The Committee is pleased that significant progress has been made in the issuance of standards to specify 

the required functionality for the Project 25 Inter-RF-Subsystem 

Interface [ISSI], Console Interface, and Fixed Station Interface for 

land mobile radio systems. The Committee directs that funds provided to OLES for standards development under this section should 

be used to complete the remaining aspects of these interfaces, including conformance and interoperability test standards for each of 

the interfaces. In addition, funds should be used to begin the development of standards for emerging technologies such as VoIP applications for public safety operations. 

Methamphetamine Hot Spots.—The Committee’s recommendation 

provides $39,500,000 to State and local law enforcement programs 

to combat methamphetamine production and distribution, to target 

drug ‘‘hot spots,’’ and to remove and dispose of hazardous materials 

at clandestine methamphetamine labs. The Committee’s recommendation includes $5,000,000 to reimburse the Drug Enforcement Administration for assistance to State and local law enforcement for proper removal and disposal of hazardous materials at 

clandestine methamphetamine labs and to initiate container programs. 

The Committee provides funding for the following congressionally 

designated projects. Within the amounts provided for methamphetamine hot spots, the COPS program office shall fund the following 

congressionally designated projects:

DNA Backlog/Crime Log Improvement.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to strengthen and improve the current Federal and State DNA collection and analysis systems that can be 

used to accelerate the prosecution of the guilty while simultaneously protecting the innocent from wrongful prosecution. 

Paul Coverdell Forensic Science.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $35,000,000 for the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences 

Improvement Grants. Coverdell grants are intended to improve the 

quality and timeliness of forensic science and medical examiner 

services, including services provided by laboratories operated by 

states and those operated by units of local government. Coverdell 

grants provide flexibility to State and local crime labs by allowing 

them to obtain funds to address their most critical needs. 

Child Sexual Predator Elimination.—The Committee’s recommendation provides $20,000,000 for a national initiative to provide grants to State and local governments to locate, arrest and 

prosecute sexual predators. The Committee recommends the appointment of an Assistant U.S. Attorney and a deputy U.S. Marshal in each judicial district to act as coordinators to prepare a 

comprehensive, district-wide strategy in consultation with social 

services providers and partners from Federal, State and local law 

enforcement agencies. The Committee directs the COPS office to coordinate with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in developing a program that includes detection, apprehension, and prosecution of sex offenders who victimize children. The 

Committee believes it is essential to build specialized units in law 

enforcement agencies across the country to attack this problem in 

a concerted, coordinated manner. The grants should assist State 

and local law enforcement entities to specifically focus on sexual 

predators who fail to register, child sexual exploitation and sex offenders who prey upon children. These predator units should be 

created in a manner that is geographically balanced and levels 

itself to testing the model in various settings; and in major urban 

police departments, State law enforcement agencies, smaller jurisdictions, and regional groupings of agencies. The Prosecutorial 

Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children 

Today Act of 2003, Public Law 108–21 authorized grants for Sex 

Offender Apprehension Programs. 

Management and Administration.—The Committee recommends 

maintaining the salaries and expenses account structure established in the fiscal year 2009 enacted law to fund the management 

and administrative costs of COPS and other Justice Department 

grant programs. No administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the programs funded from this account. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations 2009 .............................................................................. 1 $205,000,000 

Budget estimate 2010 ............................................................................ 213,388,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 129,620,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 200,000,000 

1 Includes $10,000,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5). 

To achieve greater transparency, efficiency, and accountability in 

the management, administration and oversight of grant programs 

administered by the Department of Justice, Congress established a 
109 

new salaries and expenses account for fiscal year 2009 within State 

and Local Law Enforcement Activities to fund the management 

and administrative costs of the Department’s grant programs. A 

total of $200,000,000 is provided for salaries and expenses for Department of Justice grant programs in fiscal year 2010, including 

$125,830,000 for the Office of Justice Programs [OJP]; $37,462,000 

for the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS]; 

and $15,708,000 for the Office on Violence Against Women [OVW]. 

The Committee expects all activities related to the management 

and administration of grant programs, grants, and cooperative 

agreements—including activities related to peer review—to be supported with salaries and expenses funding. Training and technical 

assistance [T&TA], research and statistics activities performed by 

OJP, OVW, and COPS, or through interagency agreements or 

under contract for OJP, OVW, and COPS, may be supported with 

program funds, subject to the submission of details related to these 

costs in the Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending plan. 

Within the funds provided, $21,000,000 is made available to the 

Office of Audit, Assessment, and Management [OAAM]. The Committee expects OAAM to continue to develop its capacity to evaluate, in coordination with the National Institute of Justice, the effectiveness of programs and projects funded by OJP, OVW, and 

COPS, using rigorous research and evaluation methods that generate valid evidence on the effectiveness of crime prevention strategies. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS—DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

The Committee recommends the following general provisions: 

Section 201 limits the amount of funding the Attorney General

OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $5,303,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 6,154,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 7,154,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 6,154,000 

The Committee recommendation provides $6,154,0000. The rec- ommendation is $851,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level 

and equal to the budget request. 

The Office of Science and Technology Policy [OSTP] was created 

by the National Science and Technology Policy, Organization, and 

Priorities Act of 1976 (Public Law 94–282) and coordinates science 

and technology policy for the White House. OSTP provides scientific and technological information, analysis, and advice for the 

President and for the executive branch; participates in formulation, 

coordination, and implementation of national and international 

policies and programs that involve science and technology; maintains and promotes the health and vitality of the U.S. science and 

technology infrastructure; reviews and analyzes, with the Office of 

Management and Budget, the research and development budgets 

for all Federal agencies; and coordinates research and development 

efforts of the Federal Government to maximize the return on the 

public’s investment in science and technology and to ensure Federal resources are used efficiently and appropriately. 

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2009 .............................................................................1 $18,784,385,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 18,686,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 18,203,300,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 18,686,000,000 

1 Includes $1,002,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 

111–5) funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $18,686,000,000 for 

the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA]. The 

recommendation is $903,615,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level, not including American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding, and equal to the budget request. 

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (Public 

Law 85–568) to conduct space and aeronautical research and development and to conduct flight activities for peaceful purposes. 

NASA’s unique mission of exploration, discovery, and innovation is 

intended to preserve the United States’ role as both a leader in 
112 

world aviation and as the pre-eminent space-faring nation. It is 

NASA’s mission to: advance human exploration, use, and development of space; advance and communicate scientific knowledge and 

understanding of the Earth, the solar system and the universe; and 

research, develop, verify, and transfer advanced aeronautics and 

space technologies. 

America recently celebrated many important milestones of its 

space program: the 50th anniversary of NASA’s creation, the 25th 

anniversary of the first American woman in space, Dr. Sally Ride, 

and the 19th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope. Unfortunately, NASA is also celebrating a more dubious occasion, the 19th 

year that NASA’s acquisition management has been on the Government Accountability Office’s [GAO] ‘‘high risk’’ list. The Agency’s 

acquisition management has been on the list since 1990 in such 

company as Medicare, Department of Defense weapons system acquisition, and enforcement of tax laws. Furthermore, since 2006, 10 

of 12 major NASA projects in development, or 83 percent, have exceeded baseline cost and schedules. The 2010 budget request includes notification that three more projects have exceeded their 

baseline budgets by more than 15 percent and five more missions 

have experienced launch delay of 6 months or more. 

The GAO reports that NASA is making progress in strengthening financial management, including better cost estimates and 

higher standards of accountability for contractors. However, more 

than 90 percent of NASA’s funding is awarded by contracts. The 

Committee is very troubled by an emerging pattern of NASA’s contract awards being protested in increasing numbers—according to 

the GAO, NASA has experienced a 50 percent increase in bid protests over the last 3 years. 

In order for taxpayers and Congress to have confidence in 

NASA’s acquisition process, the Committee directs NASA to report 

within 60 days of enactment of this act on actions the Agency will 

take to improve financial management and to ensure integrity of 

the procurement process. The report shall include systematic steps 

to reduce cost overruns and schedule slippages, as well as milestones and timetables. Furthermore, the report shall include an 

analysis of the recent increase in bid protests, as well as a determination if the creation of a senior procurement officer position at 

NASA to oversee Agency-wide procurement could help improve the 

integrity of the process. 

The Committee has chosen to articulate the funding levels of programs within the account structure for NASA in the form of tables. 

Major mission and program funding is listed within the tables and, 

if necessary, supplemented with explanatory report language.

1 Includes $400,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111– 

5) funding. 

The Science account encompasses four lines of study: Earth 

Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and Astrophysics. This 
113 

funding seeks to answer fundamental questions concerning the 

ways in which Earth’s climate is changing; the comparison of Earth 

with other planets in the solar system and around other stars; the 

connections between the Sun and Earth; and the origin and evolution of planetary systems, the galaxy, and the universe, including 

the origin and distribution of life in the universe. These objectives 

are achieved through robotic flight missions, ground-based scientific research and data analysis, and the development of new 

technologies for future missions.

Earth Science Decadal Survey Missions.—The Committee supports the ongoing development of the Tier I missions, and provides 

the full budget requests for the Soil Moisture Active and Passive 

[SMAP] and the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite [ICESat 

II] missions. The Committee is disappointed that the request does 

not include funding for the Climate Absolute Radiance and 

Refractivity Observatory [CLARREO] or the Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of the Ice [DESDnyl] missions, 

which are also part of the Tier 1 recommendations. The National 

Academies recommended flying a suite of these four missions con-
115 

currently to gather critical information about the Earth and its climate. The Committee strongly encourages NASA to realign priorities in future budget requests to accelerate these missions to more 

closely match the Academies’ recommended schedule, while also 

supporting development of Tier 2 and Tier 3 missions, as well as 

venture class missions. The Committee provides the full budget request of $135,100,000 for decadal-related projects and missions. 

ICESat II Mission.—The Committee is aware that the Science 

Definition Team [SDT] for the ICESat II mission determined that 

the use of a photon-counting approach to provide cross-track measurement capabilities is the preferred method of meeting the objectives of the Earth Science Decadal Survey for this mission. The 

Committee supports this approach to ensure the highest level of accuracy in measuring ice melt; however, the SDT did not assess its 

technical readiness level. The Committee directs NASA to complete 

a technical readiness level evaluation, and to report on options to 

implementing this preferred approach without significantly increasing the cost, or substantially delaying the launch, of the mission. 

Heliophysics.—Within funds provided to advance scientific 

knowledge of the Sun’s impact on the Earth, the Committee provides the full budget requirement of $118,600,000 for the 

Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, as well as $50,000,000 for the 

Solar Probe Mission. The Committee notes that the Solar Probe 

mission is the highest priority recommendation of the National 

Academies’ heliophysics decadal report, and therefore strongly 

urges the Agency to work to achieve a launch no later than 2015. 

Within funds provided for sounding rockets operations, $5,000,000 is provided to continue advanced technology development of small satellites and unmanned aerial systems [UAS] that 

have the potential of lowering the costs of space and Earth science 

missions. 

The Committee notes that suborbital science missions provide 

important hands-on experience for science, technology, engineering, 

and mathematics [STEM] undergraduate and graduate students, 

and directs NASA to increase their participation of these missions. 

Planetary Science.—Within funds provided to advance scientific 

knowledge of our solar system, the Committee provides the full 

budget requirement of $416,108,000 for the Mars rovers and related science. 

International Lunar Network.—The Committee is concerned that 

NASA has chosen to take a science mission, the international lunar 

network, and make its funding contingent on a report that is focused on human space flight. The scientific merits of a mission 

using a lander rather than an orbiting vehicle were highlighted by 

the National Research Council in its report, ‘‘The Scientific Context 

for Exploration of the Moon’’. Since the mission selection by NASA, 

there has been insufficient resources and inconsistent support for 

this mission. In accordance with the planned funding profile provided to the Committee for this mission, the Committee directs 

$21,000,000 to continue the development for this mission. 

Astrophysics.—Within funds provided to advance scientific 

knowledge of the origins of the universe, the Committee provides 

the full budget requirements of $112,600,000 for the Hubble Space 

Telescope and $441,400,000 for the James Webb Space Telescope. 
116 

The Committee also provides the full budget request of $6,400,000 

for the Joint Dark Energy Mission [JDEM]. 

Servicing Opportunities for Science Missions.—The Committee 

provides $50,000,000 to continue efforts to use the next generation 

of human space flight architecture to service existing and future 

on-orbit observatory-class scientific spacecraft as provided for in 

the statement of managers accompanying division B of Public Law 

111–8. The Committee directs that this shall be a joint project of 

the science and exploration mission directorates, with supervision 

provided by the Associate Administrator and the Chief Engineer, 

and shall include technology demonstrations for both robotic and 

human servicing capabilities.

Review of U.S. Human Space Flight Plans.—The Committee directs that NASA shall not use the operating plan or reprogramming process as the method of implementing the recommendations 

of the review. The opportunity for directing a well constructed and 

thoughtful approach to manned space flight should be as a budget 

amendment to the 2010 budget request that is received in a manner that is timely for consideration by the Committee, or as part 

of the 2011 budget request. 

Ares I and Orion.—The Committee provides the full budget re- quest of $1,415,400,000 for Ares I, the new Crew Launch Vehicle, 

and $1,383,500,000 for Orion, the Crew Exploration Vehicle. 

Ares V.—The Committee believes that the Ares V cargo launch 

vehicle will be a critical national asset for carrying exploration and 

scientific payloads beyond low Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond. 

To facilitate the earliest possible start of the development of the 
118 

Ares V, the Committee recommends a funding level of 

$100,000,000. 

International Space Station as a National Laboratory.—As construction of the International Space Station nears completion, the 

Committee reminds NASA that section 507 of the NASA Authorization Act of 2005 designated the International Space Station [ISS] 

as a National Laboratory for the purposes of using the unique environment of space for science. The Committee has long advocated 

that NASA should utilize the ISS to its full potential by enabling 

research of the life and physical sciences in microgravity and partial gravity environments to improve life on Earth. The Committee 

therefore provides the full budget request of $21,800,000 for ISS 

microgravity research. NASA shall report to the Committee no 

later than 90 days after enactment of this act with a proposed expenditure plan for this funding. The plan shall include options and 

recommendations to ensure access of scientific experiments to a 

microgravity environment after the Space Shuttle’s retirement via 

both the next generation vehicle architecture as well as possible 

commercial launch options.

supports the administration’s commitment to completing all the remaining Shuttle missions on the current manifest by the end of fiscal year 2010. In the event that additional time is necessary to 

complete the manifest, the Committee directs the administration to 

seek adequate funding for the remaining Shuttle flights in its fiscal 

year 2011 budget request. The Committee further directs that any 

funding necessary in 2011 to complete the manifest shall not come 

from, or jeopardize in any way, other ongoing NASA activities. 

ISS Crew Cargo Services.—Within the funds provided for ISS 

Crew Cargo Services, $40,000,000 shall be for a competitive grant 

program for launch infrastructure construction and upgrades at 

commercial spaceports, including spaceports located at NASA facilities. 

Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System [TDRSS].—The Committee provides the full budget request of $26,000,000 to continue 

replenishment of the TDRS system. NASA should report no later 

than March 15, 2010, on options for accommodating increased mission load to the system. The report should include an examination 

of the feasibility of using off-the-shelf technologies.

Education.—In addition to funds provided in within the Education account, each mission directorate utilizes funding for education activities. However, NASA has been unable to provide an 

adequate, full accounting of those activities Agency-wide, therefore 

it is impossible for the Committee to know the extent and value of 

the Agency’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics 

[STEM] education efforts. The Committee therefore directs NASA 

to include in its annual budget justifications the amount within 

each mission directorate that will be expended for education activities and the specific purposes for which those funds will be expended. 

Space Grant Program.—The Committee provides the full budget 

request of $28,400,000 for the Space Grant program, and encourages NASA to work to achieve greater participation of underserved 

students. 

Classroom of the Future.—The Committee has provided the full 

budget request of $1,000,000 for the Classroom of the Future, 

which focuses on educational research, curriculum design, teacher 

development and educational outreach in the STEM disciplines. 

Museums, Science Centers, and Planetariums.—The Committee 

recommends $7,000,000 for a competitive grant program as authorized by section 616 of Public Law 109–155. 

Educational Activities at NASA Centers.—The Committee provides $7,000,000 for the development of educational activities at 

NASA’s centers and direct NASA to distribute this amount in equal 

$750,000 increments to each center’s official visitor center for the 

development of educational activities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, including exhibits. 

Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle School Students 

[EarthKAM] program.—The Committee recognizes the importance 

of the EarthKAM program, which allows middle school students to 

program a digital camera on board the International Space Station 

to photograph a variety of geographical targets for study in the 

classroom. Educators use the images for projects involving Earth 

science, geography, physics, and social science. Nearly 100,000 middle school students from nearly 1,500 schools have used EarthKAM 

to investigate every corner of the globe. No other NASA program 

gives students such direct control of an instrument flying on a 

spacecraft orbiting Earth, and as a result, students assume an unparalleled personal ownership in the study and analysis of the 

Earth. The Committee is concerned that NASA’s financial support 

for this program has been significantly reduced, and directs NASA 

to increase support for this program. 

Informal Education.—A recent report by the National Academy 

of Sciences, Learning Science in Informal Settings, found evidence 

that nonschool science programs involving exhibits, media projects, 

emerging learning technologies, and other informal education programs increases students’ interest in STEM education. The Committee strongly supports informal science education at NASA, and 

encourages NASA to increase support for these activities.

Chief Engineer.—The Committee provides the full budget request 

for activities of NASA’s Chief Engineer to increase direct technical 

support to high risk aspects of NASA’s missions in order to improve 

mission success, cost containment, and schedule performance 

across all mission directorates. These activities are critical to addressing Agency weaknesses described in the Government Accountability Office’s [GAO] high risk report regarding NASA’s acquisition management. 
122 

Independent Verification and Validation [IV&V] Program.— Within the amounts provided for cross-agency support, the Committee recommends the full budget request of $30,200,000 for 

NASA’s IV&V Program. 

Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant.—NASA’s Stennis Space 

Center is about to inherit an ammunition plant, portions of which 

the Army has left derelict for many years. Upon transfer of this facility, NASA will become the caretaker for an additional 18 million 

square feet of facility floor space, of which only 1 million square 

feet is occupied. NASA has estimated that costs related to the 

transfer will be at least $114,000,000. The Committee is extremely 

disappointed that NASA has not requested funds to make the remainder of this facility useable for work at Stennis Space Center. 

This facility, if fully utilized, would benefit all tenants at Stennis 

Space Center by providing additional revenue to reinvest in the 

center for its mission. 

Energy Efficiency at NASA Centers.—The Committee is concerned that the agency may not be utilizing all possible technologies to attain the goals of Executive Order 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management. NASA has informed the Committee that increased electricity costs at each of their centers are eroding the ability of NASA 

to maintain its centers without placing other activities at risk. As 

a lead agency for scientific computing and information technology, 

NASA has a strong focus on managing information flow and the 

costs related to data management to support its missions. The 

Committee strongly recommends that NASA pursue information efficiency technologies, to include virtualization, in its facilities and 

data centers to promote energy efficiency and reduce current and 

future power consumption. 

Technical Civil Service Workforce.—The Committee is concerned 

that NASA’s full cost accounting structure does not provide a 

transparent view of the funding requirements for the Agency’s civil 

service workforce because funding for technical civil service personnel is included in the program lines. The Committee therefore 

directs NASA to include in its fiscal year 2011 budget request justification an accounting of civil service salary and expense requirements contained within each program. 

NASA’s Use of Term Positions.—The Committee directs NASA to 

provide a report no later than 60 days after enactment of this act 

providing the total number of term positions (both new hires and 

renewals) to be funded under this act, as well as a summary of 

NASA’s use of term positions since 1990. 

Congressionally Designated Projects.—The Committee provides 

funding for the following congressionally designated projects, directs NASA to refrain from charging administrative costs to these 

grants, and expects that NASA will provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant:

1 Includes $3,002,000,000 in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public 

Law 111–5) funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $6,916,760,000 for 

the National Science Foundation [NSF]. The recommendation is 

$426,360,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level not including 

supplemental funding and $128,240,000 below the budget request. 

The National Science Foundation was established as an independent agency by the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 

(Public Law 81–507) and is authorized to support research and 

education programs that promote the progress of science and engineering in the United States. The Foundation supports research 

and education in all major scientific and engineering disciplines 

through grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and other forms 

of assistance in all parts of the United States. The Foundation also 

supports unique, large-scale research facilities and international facilities. 

NSF is the principal Federal agency charged with promoting 

science and engineering education from pre-kindergarten through 

career development. This helps ensure that the United States has 

world-class scientists, mathematicians and engineers, and well-prepared citizens for today and the future. In today’s global economy, 

continued progress in science and engineering and the transfer of 

the knowledge developed is vital if the United States is to maintain 

its competitiveness. NSF is at the leading edge of the research and 

discoveries that will create the jobs and technologies of the future. 

The Committee reiterates its long-standing requirement that 

NSF request reprogrammings when initiating new programs or activities or reorganizing components. The Committee expects to be 

notified of reprogramming actions which involve less than the 
127 

above-mentioned amount if such actions would have the effect of 

changing the agency’s funding requirements in future years, or if 

programs or projects specifically cited in the Committee’s reports 

are affected. 

RESEARCH AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. 1 $7,683,100,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 5,665,240,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 5,642,110,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 5,618,000,000 

1 Includes $2,500,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 

111–5) funding. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $5,618,000,000. The 

recommendation is $434,900,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level not including supplemental funding and $115,240,000 below 

the budget request. 

The Research and Related Activities appropriation addresses the 

Foundation’s three strategic goals: people—developing a diverse, 

internationally competitive and globally engaged workforce of scientists, engineers, and well-prepared citizens; ideas—enabling discovery across the frontiers of science and engineering, connected to 

learning, innovation, and service to society; and tools—providing 

broadly accessible, state-of-the-art science and engineering facilities 

and shared research and education tools. Research activities will 

contribute to the achievement of these outcomes through expansion 

of the knowledge base; integration of research and education; stimulation of knowledge transfer among academia and public and private sectors; and international activities, and will bring the perspectives of many disciplines to bear on complex problems important to the Nation. The Foundation’s discipline-oriented Research 

and Related Activities account include: Biological Sciences; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Engineering; Geosciences; Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Social, Behavioral 

and Economic Sciences; U.S. Polar Research Programs; U.S. Antarctica Logistical Support Activities; and Integrative Activities. 

The Committee’s fiscal year 2010 recommendation renews its 

commitment to Federal long-term basic research that has the potential to be transformative to our economy and our way of life. As 

such, the recommendation provides the full funding requested for 

the four major cross-foundation investments of Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation, Science and Engineering Beyond Moore’s 

Law, Adaptive Systems Technology, and Dynamics of Water Processes in the Environment. Each of these programs aim to have a 

transformative impact across science and engineering, especially in 

areas of national priority first outlined by the National Academies 

report ‘‘Rising Above the Gathering Storm.’’ 

Icebreaking.—NSF shall transfer $54,000,000 to the Coast 

Guard. The Committee notes the budget request did not include 

transfer of operating and maintenance funds for the polar icebreakers from the NSF to the Coast Guard as directed in the joint 

explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Homeland 

Security Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 110–329). For fiscal 

year 2011, the Committee expects the operating and maintenance 

budget authority and 400 FTP/FTE to be included in the Coast 
128 

Guard’s request. The two agencies shall update the existing Memorandum of Agreement to reflect this change in budget authority. 

Scientific Facilities and Instrumentation.—A critical component 

of the Nation’s scientific enterprise is the infrastructure that supports researchers in discovery science. Recent significant investments to advance the frontiers of research and education in science 

and engineering in the fiscal year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations 

Act and in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will increase the number of research grants and the success rate of funding meritorious research proposals. The Committee expects the 

NSF to fully fund world-class U.S. scientific research facilities and 

instruments to adequately support scientists and students engaged 

in ground-breaking research as a consequence of these increased 

investments in research. 

National Radio Astronomy Observatory.—The Committee recommendation provides the full budget request of $67,090,000. This 

level of funding will provide adequate funding for operations of the 

Green Bank Observatory with its now operational radio telescope, 

science center, and associated student facilities. 

Severe Storm Research.—The Committee recognizes the collaborative efforts between NSF and NOAA to study tornadoes with the 

research project VORTEX2. This project is scheduled to continue 

through June 2010. At this time the study only focuses on storms 

that occur in the Midwestern United States. However, NOAA data 

shows that more damage is caused by severe weather in the Southeastern portion of the United States than any other region of the 

country. The Committee directs NSF to take into account this information and to incorporate tornado activity in the Southeastern 

United States as part of the collaboration with NOAA on this research. 

MAJOR RESEARCH EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION

1 Includes $400,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111– 

5) funding. 

The Committee recommendation provides $122,290,000. The recommendation is $29,720,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level not including supplemental funding and $5,000,000 above the 

budget request. 

The major research equipment and facilities construction appropriation supports the acquisition, procurement, construction, and 

commissioning of unique national research platforms and facilities 

as well as major research equipment. Projects supported by this appropriation will push the boundaries of technology and offer significant expansion of opportunities, often in new directions, for the 

science and engineering community. Preliminary design and development activities, on-going operations, and maintenance costs of 

the facilities are provided through the research and related activities appropriation account. 

The Committee recommendation includes funding at the requested level for the following five ongoing projects: the Advanced 
129 

Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory [AdvLIGO]; 

the Atacama Large Millimeter Array [ALMA]; the IceCube Neutrino Observatory; the Ocean Observing Initiatives; and the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope [ATST], for which the Committee provides an additional $5,000,000 for this project.

1 Includes $1,000,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 

111–5) funding. 

The Committee recommendation provides $857,760,000. The recommendation is $12,500,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level not including emergency funding and the same as the budget 

request. 

The education and human resources appropriation supports a 

comprehensive set of programs across all levels of education in 

science, technology, engineering and mathematics [STEM]. The appropriation supports activities that unite school districts with institutions of higher learning to improve precollege education. Other 

precollege activities include the development of the next generation 

of precollege STEM education leaders; instructional materials; and 

the STEM instructional workforce. Undergraduate activities support curriculum, laboratory, and instructional improvement; expand the STEM talent pool; attract STEM participants to teaching; 

augment advanced technological education at 2-year colleges; and 

develop dissemination tools. Graduate support is directed to research and teaching fellowships and traineeships and instructional 

workforce improvement by linking precollege systems with higher 

education. Programs also seek to broaden the participation of 

groups underrepresented in the STEM enterprise, build State and 

regional capacity to compete successfully for research funding, and 

promote informal science education. Ongoing evaluation efforts and 

research on learning strengthen the base for these programs. 

The Committee strongly encourages NSF to continue support for 

undergraduate science and engineering education. At a time when 

enrollment in STEM fields of study continues to decline, it is important that NSF use its position to support students working towards degrees in these areas. 

Creating a strong science and engineering workforce for the future is vital to maintaining the Nation’s competitive edge. As the 

recent National Academies report ‘‘Above the Gathering Storm’’ 

and, before that, the Hart-Rudman report on ‘‘Road Map for National Security: Imperative for Change’’ so illustratively point out, 

the future of U.S. competitiveness rests on our ability to train the 

next generation of scientists and engineers. 

Informal Science Education.—The Committee maintains its 

strong support for NSF’s informal science education program. A recent report from the National Academy of Sciences, ‘‘Learning 

Science in Informal Settings’’, found evidence that nonschool 

science programs involving exhibitions, media projects, emerging 

learning technologies, and other informal education programs stim-
130 

ulate students and increase their interest in STEM education. The 

Committee encourages NSF to increase its support for the development of online accessible repositories of digital media and other 

materials to assist teachers and students in STEM education. 

Promoting STEM Education Through Competition.—The future 

of U.S. competitiveness rests on our ability to train the next generation of scientists and engineers. The Committee has acted on 

the ‘‘Above the Gathering Storm’’ recommendation to improve K– 

12 STEM education by robustly funding the National Science Foundation and other science agencies. The Committee also recognizes 

the important contributions of groups and organizations that have 

developed nationwide STEM robotics competitions to inspire and 

train America’s students. The Committee directs NSF to set aside 

$2,000,000 for a competitive program of grants to promote STEM 

education through robotics competition. Within 60 days of enactment of this act, the National Science Foundation is directed to 

provide a report and spend plan to the Appropriations Committees, 

which details the scope of the program and the criteria and methodology the agency will employ to award these grants. 

Professional Science Master’s [PSM] Degree.—The Committee 

strongly encourages NSF to continue support for the Professional 

Science Master’s [PSM] degree programs funded through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (Public Law 111–5) as authorized in the America COMPETES Act (Public Law 110–69). To remain competitive in the global economy, America needs to develop 

more expertise in STEM fields; the PSM provides a pathway for 

students with undergraduate degrees in STEM fields and is a critical program for preparing future science professionals and leaders. 

The Committee strongly recommends that NSF incorporate requests for funding in fiscal year 2011 budget and beyond. 

AGENCY OPERATIONS AND AWARD MANAGEMENT

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $294,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 318,370,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 299,870,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 300,370,000 

The Committee recommendation provides $300,370,000. The rec- ommendation is $6,370,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level 

and $18,000,000 below the budget request. 

The salaries and expenses appropriation provides funds for staff 

salaries, benefits, travel, training, rent, advisory and assistance 

services, communications and utilities expenses, supplies, equipment, and other operating expenses necessary for management of 

the National Science Foundation’s research and education activities. 

Workforce Management.—The Committee is deeply concerned 

with systemic workforce management problems propagated from 

senior management creating a hostile work environment between 

Federal employees, rotational directors and the SES-level directorate. The Committee, working with NSF’s Office of the Inspector 

General [OIG], has noticed a trend in poor management oversight 

and neglected best-practice measures with regard to personnel 

management. The lack of action taken by NSF to address these ongoing problems is unacceptable, and raises serious questions about 
131 

NSF’s Human Resource office. Compounding the issue is the rotational director model, which although brings fresh scientific insight 

and perspective to the agency, creates gaps in management oversight. Program directors, designated and authorized as supervisors, 

shall not neglect their management responsibilities for the employees who work under them. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned with NSF’s enforcement of policies prohibiting gender discrimination, offensive work environments, and retaliation. The 

cases that OIG referenced in its Management Implication Report 

[MIR], dated July 14, 2008, and in its most recent semiannual report to Congress demonstrate that NSF’s current policies and practices fail to deter the possible creation of a hostile workplace environment. The OIG also noted that the employees in general were 

not aware of how to contact NSF’s Office of Equal Opportunity Programs [OEOP], a reporting outlet for NSF employees who witnessed inappropriate behavior. Although NSF is an autonomous 

agency with the privilege of more self-governances not afforded to 

other programs, it is not independent from the Federal Government and is not exempt from its laws ensuring that it provides a 

safe and productive work environment for all of its employees. 

Within 60 days of enactment of this act, NSF is directed to provide 

the Committee with a report detailing the operations of its Office 

of Equal Opportunity Programs, its Human Resource Division and 

its Sexual Harassment program, complete with a reformed plan for 

how to improve employee relations. In addition, the OIG shall also 

provide a report assessing NSF’s rotating director model with regard to reforming supervisory expectations and responsibilities 

complete with a training and indoctrination plan. 

Grant Management.—The Committee notes that NSF needs to 

improve its grant management activities with respect to selecting 

awards in an objective manner and to help ensure accountability 

of funds. The agency needs to refine its grant management model 

and create measurable goals and metrics. Therefore, the Committee directs NSF to develop within 90 days of enactment of this 

act an accountability program that manages grants from before an 

award is made, through the award performance, and after the 

award is closed. This program should focus on: (1) financial accomplishments, (2) research performance, and (3) nonfinancial compliance issues. Such metrics shall include: percentage of large dollar 

awards that receive a pre-award financial risk; percentage of preaward financial reviews for new awardee institutions; percentage of 

financial closeout reviews conducted; percentage of large dollar 

awards that have measurable goals and metrics; percentage of 

large dollar awards that received a programmatic site visit during 

active award period; number of recommendations made in programmatic reviews that receive follow-up; number of NSF proposals and awards that require Institutional Review Board or other 

required reviews and identify the percentage of such awards that 

contain evidence that such reviews were conducted; number of 

awardees that inform NSF of conflict of interest issues and the 

number of program officers and panelists that disclose conflict of 

interest. The Committee recognizes that this type of performance 

tracking is, for the most part, not currently being accomplished at 
132 

NSF, so the agency will need to begin tracking information and establish a baseline in order to develop appropriate targets.

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING 

ITEMS 

The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the purse. 

The Committee believes strongly that Congress should make the 

decisions on how to allocate the people’s money. 

As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the 

term ‘‘congressional directed spending item’’ means a provision or 

report language included primarily at the request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, 

or other expenditure with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific 

State, locality or congressional district, other than through a statutory or administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process. 

For each item, a Member is required to provide a certification 

that neither the Member nor the Senator’s immediate family has 

a pecuniary interest in such congressionally directed spending 

item. Such certifications are available to the public on the website 

of the Senate Committee on Appropriations 

(www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm). 

Following is a list of congressionally directed spending items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this report, 

along with the name of each Senator who submitted a request to 

the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so identified. Neither 

the Committee recommendation nor this report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV.
