LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND

The Committee is concerned that lands acquired with funds appropriated via the Land and Water Conservation Fund are being, 

or have been, made available for uses inconsistent with the recreation, conservation or public access for which they were purchased. 

Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Interior 

and the Secretary of Agriculture to notify the Committee before 

any land use or management decision is made that will change the 

use of the land from their conservation or recreational use. 

The following table displays appropriations from the Land and 

Water Conservation Fund.

REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

The following are the procedures governing reprogramming actions for programs and activities funded in the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act: 

1. Definition.—‘‘Reprogramming,’’ as defined in these procedures, 

includes the reallocation of funds from one budget activity to another. In cases where either the House or Senate Committee report 

displays an allocation of an appropriation below the activity level, 

that more detailed level shall be the basis for reprogramming. For 

construction accounts, a reprogramming constitutes the reallocation of funds from one construction project (identified in the justification or Committee report) to another. A reprogramming shall 

also consist of any significant departure from the program described in the agency’s budget justifications. This includes proposed 

reorganizations even without a change in funding. 
7 

2. Guidelines for Reprogramming.—(a) A reprogramming should 

be made only when an unforeseen situation arises; and then only 

if postponement of the project or the activity until the next appropriation year would result in actual loss or damage. Mere convenience or desire should not be factors for consideration. 

(b) Any project or activity, which may be deferred through reprogramming, shall not later be accomplished by means of further 

reprogramming; but, instead, funds should again be sought for the 

deferred project or activity through the regular appropriations process. 

(c) Reprogramming should not be employed to initiate new programs or to change allocations specifically denied, limited or increased by the Congress in the act or the report. In cases where 

unforeseen events or conditions are deemed to require changes, 

proposals shall be submitted in advance to the Committee, regardless of amounts involved, and be fully explained and justified. 

(d) Reprogramming proposals submitted to the Committee for approval shall be considered approved 30 calendar days after receipt 

if the Committee has posed no objection. However, agencies will be 

expected to extend the approval deadline if specifically requested 

by either Committee. 

(e) Proposed changes to estimated working capital fund bills and 

estimated overhead charges, deductions, reserves or holdbacks, as 

such estimates were presented in annual budget justifications, 

shall be submitted through the reprogramming process. 

3. Criteria and Exceptions.—Any proposed reprogramming must 

be submitted to the Committee in writing prior to implementation 

if it exceeds $500,000 annually or results in an increase or decrease 

of more than 10 percent annually in affected programs, with the 

following exceptions: 

(a) With regard to the tribal priority allocations activity of the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs, Operations of Indian Programs account, 

there is no restriction on reprogrammings among the programs 

within this activity. However, the Bureau shall report on all 

reprogrammings made during the first 6 months of the fiscal year 

by no later than May 1 of each year, and shall provide a final report of all reprogrammings for the previous fiscal year by no later 

than November 1 of each year. 

(b) With regard to the ‘‘Environmental Protection Agency, State 

and Tribal Assistance Grants’’ account, reprogramming requests 

associated with States and tribes applying for partnership grants 

do not need to be submitted to the Committee for approval should 

such grants exceed the normal reprogramming limitations. 

4. Quarterly Reports.—(a) All reprogrammings shall be reported 

to the Committee quarterly and shall include cumulative totals. 

(b) Any significant shifts of funding among object classifications 

also should be reported to the Committee. 

5. Administrative Overhead Accounts.—For all appropriations 

where costs of overhead administrative expenses are funded in part 

from ‘‘assessments’’ of various budget activities within an appropriation, the assessments shall be shown in justifications under the 

discussion of administrative expenses. 

6. Contingency Accounts.—For all appropriations where assessments are made against various budget activities or allocations for 
8 

contingencies the Committee expects a full explanation, as part of 

the budget justification, consistent with section 404 of this act. The 

explanation shall show the amount of the assessment, the activities 

assessed, and the purpose of the fund. The Committee expects reports each year detailing the use of these funds. In no case shall 

a fund be used to finance projects and activities disapproved or limited by Congress or to finance new permanent positions or to finance programs or activities that could be foreseen and included in 

the normal budget review process. Contingency funds shall not be 

used to initiate new programs. 

7. Report Language.—Any limitation, directive, or earmarking 

contained in either the House or Senate report which is not contradicted by the other report nor specifically denied in the conference 

report shall be considered as having been approved by both Houses 

of Congress. 

8. Assessments.—No assessments shall be levied against any program, budget activity, subactivity, or project funded by the Interior, 

Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act unless such 

assessments and the basis therefore are presented to the Committees on Appropriations and are approved by such Committees, in 

compliance with these procedures. 

9. Land Acquisitions and Forest Legacy.—Lands shall not be acquired for more than the approved appraised value (as addressed 

in section 301(3) of Public Law 91–646), unless such acquisitions 

are submitted to the Committees on Appropriations for approval in 

compliance with these procedures. 

10. Land Exchanges.—Land exchanges, wherein the estimated 

value of the Federal lands to be exchanged is greater than 

$500,000, shall not be consummated until the Committees on Appropriations have had a 30-day period in which to examine the proposed exchange. 

11. Appropriations Structure.—The appropriation structure for 

any agency shall not be altered without advance approval of the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

LAND AND WATER RESOURCES 

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

The Bureau of Land Management [BLM] is charged with administering for multiple uses 256 million acres of public land concentrated in 12 Western States, as well as 700 million acres of federally owned sub-surface mineral rights. Minerals, timber, rangeland, fish and wildlife, wilderness and recreation are among the resources and activities managed by BLM. 

Recent increases in energy production and recreation visits have 

placed an even greater stress on the Bureau’s multiple use mandate, but great strides are being made to address the needs of an 

ever-growing U.S. population. 

In 2010, over 55 million visitors are expected to participate in 

recreational activities on public lands. This influx of visitors necessitates ongoing investments in the Bureau’s planning, recreation 

management, facilities construction and law enforcement programs. 

In addition, the Bureau is tasked with managing programs involving the mineral industry, utility companies, ranchers, the timber industry, and the conservation and research communities. In 

2010, it is estimated that on-shore public lands will generate 

$4,600,000,000 in revenues from such resource uses as energy development, grazing, and timber production. The bulk of this 

amount, $4,400,000,000, will come from energy development.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 965,721,000 

The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 

$965,721,000 for the ‘‘Management of Land and Resources’’ account. This amount is $75,527,000 above the equivalent fiscal year 

2009 enacted level, and $9,630,000 below the budget request. 

All of the increases, totaling $16,524,000, requested to offset rising fixed costs are provided in the amounts requested in the budget. The Committee supports the administration’s major initiatives 

and recommends increases of $15,000,000 for the climate impacts 

initiative, $16,100,000 for the renewable energy initiative, and 

$5,000,000 for the Secretary’s 21st century youth conservation 

corps. 
10 

Other program changes are described in the following budget activity narratives. Detailed funding levels for each subactivity can 

be found in the table at the end of the report. 

The Committee directs the Bureau to retain its current level of 

support for the National Conservation Training Center [NCTC], 

and directs that funds shall be available to NCTC within 60 days 

of enactment. 

The following table provides a comparison of the budget estimate 

and the Committee’s recommendation in the major programmatic

1 Funding for the Permit Processing Fund, authorized by section 365 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, is not included in the ‘‘Management 

of Land and Resources’’ account but is shown in this table to accurately reflect the cost of the energy and minerals program. 2 Funding for Mining Law Administration is fully offset by fees. 

Land Resources.—The Committee recommends an appropriation 

of $250,542,000 for land resources. This amount is an increase of 

$49,345,000 above the 2009 enacted appropriation and $2,350,000 

above the budget request. The recommendation includes increases 

of $3,467,000 for fixed costs, $15,000,000 to support the Department’s climate change impacts initiative, $2,500,000 for youth conservation activities, $26,873,000 for wild horse and burro management, $1,000,000 for BLM activities authorized by the Omnibus 

Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–11), and 

$1,350,000 for general program increases. The general program increase is to be distributed as follows: $350,000 for soil, water, and 

air management; $700,000 for rangeland management; $100,000 

for forestry management; and $200,000 for riparian management. 

The increase of $1,000,000 mentioned above is recommended for 

cultural resources management to protect, inventory and monitor 

heritage, cultural, archaeological, historical, and paleontological resources of tribes on wilderness lands authorized in the Omnibus 

Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–11) such as 

the cultural resources protection plan and the recreation travel 

management plan in the Owyhee Public Land Management Initiative. 

The Committee notes with approval that the BLM has retained the 2009 increase of $7,500,000 for abandoned mine remediation in 

its 2010 request. The Department has acknowledged that it does 
11 

not have a comprehensive inventory of abandoned mines on public 

lands. Such an inventory is an essential prerequisite for an effective and cost efficient program to attain environmental and public 

safety around abandoned mine sites. The Committee directs the 

Secretary to provide a report on the status of this inventory within 

120 days of enactment of this bill. The Committee expects a completed inventory to be submitted for review by September 30, 2010. 

The inventory should identify those mine sites that pose a clear 

threat to the environment or to human safety. 

The Committee recognizes the need for a substantial budget in- crease of $26,873,000 for the wild horse and burro program in 2010 

and provides the requested level of $67,486,000. However, the Committee notes that the costs for gathering and holding equines to 

control populations on public lands have risen beyond sustainable 

levels. The Committee directs the Bureau to (1) consider private 

proposals for long-term care of wild horses and burros; (2) create 

a bidding process among such proposals, and (3) prepare and publish a new comprehensive long-term plan and policy for management of wild horses and burros that involves consideration and development of proposals by non-governmental entities, by September 

30, 2010. 

The Committee encourages all Federal agencies that need and 

use horses to fulfill their responsibilities to first seek to acquire a 

wild horse from the Bureau of Land Management, and, prior to 

seeking another supplier for usable horses, document why the Bureau cannot meet the needs of the inquiring Federal agency. The 

Bureau is also encouraged to develop an expedited process for providing wild horses to local and State police forces. 

Wildlife and Fisheries.—The Committee recommends an appro- priation of $49,607,000 for wildlife and fisheries activities. This 

amount is $1,118,000 over the 2009 appropriation and $520,000 

over the request. The recommendation includes increases of 

$743,000 for fixed costs and general program increases of $250,000 

for wildlife management and $125,000 for fisheries management. 

The Committee does not agree to the proposed reduction of 

$145,000 in National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grants funding. 

Threatened and Endangered Species.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $22,612,000 for threatened and endangered species conservation, an increase of $899,000 over the 

2009 appropriation and $500,000 above the request. The increases 

are $399,000 for fixed costs, $300,000 for redband trout and salmon 

habitat and restoration in Nevada, and a general program increase 

of $200,000. 

Recreation Management.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $68,392,000 for wilderness management and recreation 

resources management activities. This amount is $4,654,000 above 

the 2009 appropriation and $700,000 over the request. The recommendation includes the full $2,500,000 for the Secretary’s 21st 

century youth conservation corps initiative, $1,454,000 as requested for fixed costs, and general program increases of $200,000 

for wilderness management and $500,000 for recreation resources 

management. 

Energy and Minerals Management.—The Committee recommends 

an appropriation of $89,689,000 for oil, gas, coal, and other min-
12 

erals management. This is $9,724,000 below the 2009 enacted level 

and $21,000,000 less than the request. However, by rejecting the 

administration’s proposal to repeal portions of the Energy Policy 

Act of 2005, the Bureau will have an additional $21,000,000 available so that activities supported by the request are fully funded. In 

addition to the Committee appropriation recommendation, the Bureau will receive $45,500,000 in collections from fees for applications for permits to drill, an increase of $9,100,000 over 2009 which 

is used to offset the appropriation. Changes from 2009 include an 

increase of $2,058,000 for fixed costs, a decrease of $4,600,000 for 

the Alaska legacy well remediation program, a decrease of 

$1,000,000 for a completed core sample shipment project, and an 

increase of $2,500,000 for production accountability improvements. 

The Committee understands that the Bureau will not complete 

its analysis of the Internet oil and gas lease auction program before 

the end of fiscal year 2009 and subsequently will need time in 2010 

to analyze and develop recommendations for implementation of a 

new program. The Committee requests that the Bureau provide a 

report on the results of the Internet oil and gas auction pilot, and 

recommendations on how to implement the program in fiscal year 

2011. 

Realty and Ownership Management.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $97,632,000 for public land realty 

and ownership management activities. This amount is $17,567,000 

above the 2009 appropriation and $400,000 above the request. The 

Committee supports the requested changes from the enacted level: 

the full $16,100,000 increase for the President’s renewable energy 

initiative, an increase of $1,817,000 as requested for fixed costs, 

and a requested decrease of $750,000 for cadastral surveys. Recommended increases above the budget request are $300,000 for the 

Utah Rural Government Geographic Information Systems Assistance Program and a general program increase of $100,000. 

The Committee understands that renewable energy will become 

a more significant source of power for the Nation and that the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service will play a prominent role in its development. However, the Committee is very concerned about the impacts these projects will have on the landscape, 

particularly those for wind and solar power. Proposed solar projects 

can each cover several square miles and the newest wind turbines 

are over 500 feet tall. Appropriate siting of these projects and costappropriate size limitations are critical to ensuring that the pristine landscapes and magnificent views of the country’s public lands 

and coastlines are protected. 

Accordingly, within 180 days of enactment, the Committee directs that the Department submit a joint report with the Forest 

Service on the criteria used for siting renewable energy projects, including the extent to which protection of scenic landscapes, ridgetops, and shorelines will be considered. The report should also provide a detailed strategic plan on how the Department and the Forest Service will coordinate the development of such projects particularly in areas where there is mixed ownership of Interior and 

Forest Service lands. The report should identify specifically what 

areas of the public lands and the Outer Continental Shelf will be 

considered for projects based on: (1) their potential for renewable 
13 

energy generation; (2) what additional transmission lines will be 

necessary to connect these new sources of power to the energy grid; 

(3) where these transmission lines will be placed; and (4) the methodology to be used to limit the size of solar troughs and photovoltaic facilities. 

The report should also include an analysis of the useful life of renewable energy sites and provide an explanation of how the infrastructure will be removed from the public lands when it is no 

longer functional. The Committee believes that some mechanism, 

such as a bond put forth by the permittees, should be utilized by 

the Department and the Forest Service so that the Government 

does not have to pay for the removal of these large facilities after 

they are no longer viable. 

The Committee strongly encourages the BLM to apply the necessary resources to complete landscape scale assessments by the 

end of fiscal year 2010 on the Mojave Basin and Range, Central 

Basin and Range, Sonoran Desert, and the Colorado Plateau. These 

assessments should, at a minimum, include spatial analyses of priority conservation areas, renewable energy potential, invasive species, and wildfires. 

As the Department of the Interior and Forest Service proceed 

with the development of policies and the preparation of environmental documents and permitting of renewable energy projects, the 

Committee expects to be consulted with on a regular basis. 

Resource Protection and Maintenance.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $96,077,000 for resource protection 

and maintenance. This is an increase of $3,526,000 over the 2009 

enacted appropriation and $2,000,000 over the request. In addition 

to the requested $1,526,000 increase for fixed costs, the Committee 

recommends an increase of $1,000,000 for law enforcement. The 

Committee also recommends an increase of $1,000,000 for travel 

and transportation plans. The agency shall allocate these funds to 

travel and transportation management plans authorized by law in 

the recently passed Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 

2009, such as the Washington County comprehensive travel and 

transportation plan in Utah. 

Transportation and Facilities Maintenance.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $74,555,000 for transportation and 

facilities maintenance. There is an increase of $698,000 over the 

enacted 2009 appropriation for fixed costs as requested. 

Land and Resources Information Systems.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $16,754,000 for land and resources 

information systems. There is an increase of $173,000 over the enacted 2009 appropriation for fixed costs as requested. 

Mining Law Administration.—The Committee recommends 

$36,696,000 for mining law administration which is $2,000,000 

over the 2009 level and the same as the request. This amount is 

fully offset by collections from mining claims fees. 

Workforce Organization and Support.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $158,060,000 for workforce organization and support as requested. There is an increase of $3,166,000 

over the enacted 2009 appropriation for fixed costs. 

Challenge Cost Share.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,000,000 for challenge cost share partnership 
14 

projects. This amount includes a $500,000 increase over the 2009 

enacted appropriation and the request. 

National Monuments and National Conservation Areas.—The 

Committee recommends an appropriation of $31,801,000 for major 

units of the National Landscape Conservation System. This 

amount is an increase of $3,605,000 over the 2009 enacted appropriation and $3,000,000 over the requested level. There is a general 

program increase of $3,000,000 and an increase of $605,000 for 

fixed costs. 

The Committee remains concerned about the lack of transparency in the BLM budget with regard to national trails. The 

Committee directs the Bureau to create a specific subactivity for 

the National Trails System within the National Monuments and 

National Conservation Areas activity. This subactivity should be 

included in the 2011 budget request with a clear explanation for 

any amounts that may be transferred from other activities and subactivities.

FISH AND WILDLIFE AND PARKS 

U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats. The Service manages the 96 million acre National Wildlife Refuge System, which encompasses 550 

national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands and other 

special management areas and 78,000 square miles of National 

Marine Monuments. It also operates 70 national fish hatcheries, 65 

fish and wildlife management offices and 81 ecological services field 

stations. The Agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers 

the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, 

restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves, and restores 

wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments 

with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance program, which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in 

excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to State fish and 

wildlife agencies.

The Committee recommends a total appropriation of $1,244,386,000 for the ‘‘Resource Management’’ account. This 

amount is $103,424,000 above the equivalent fiscal year 2009 enacted level, and $26,180,000 above the budget request. 

Changes to the 2009 enacted level include the addition of $19,404,000 to meet fixed cost increases and programmatic increases totaling $84,020,000. The Committee supports the major 

initiatives requested by the administration and recommends that 

the climate change initiative be fully funded at $42,000,000 and 

that $13,000,000 be provided for youth and careers in nature. The 

internal transfer for literature research services is included as requested. 

The following table provides a comparison of the budget estimate 

and the Committee’s recommendation in the major programmatic 

areas funded by this account.

Several congressionally directed projects have been added to the 

budget request and are discussed in the activity report language 

below. Funding for these projects is to be distributed to the appropriate program and region before the Service’s standard distribution of funds. No congressionally directed project in this account 

may be funded, fully or in part, by reductions in other projects, programs, or regions. 

Ecological Services.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $305,677,000 for the ecological services budget activity. This 

amount is $29,407,000 above the 2009 enacted level, $14,600,000 

above the request, and includes increases of $4,938,000 for fixed 

costs as included in the request and program increases totaling 

$24,469,000. 

Within ecological services, the Committee recommends 

$174,657,000 for endangered species. This amount is $16,684,000 

above the 2009 appropriation and $10,500,000 above the request. 

The recommendation includes $2,989,000 for fixed cost increases, 

$1,500,000 for polar bear consultations and recovery, $1,500,000 for 

the President’s energy initiative, and $395,000 for internal transfers, all of which were included in the budget request. 

The Committee also recommends general program increases of 

$1,000,000 for listing and $1,000,000 for critical habitat, $500,000 

to increase monitoring of bats for white nose bat syndrome, 

$350,000 for Lahontan cutthroat trout, and $200,000 for additional 

wolf monitoring in the Western States. In addition to these increases, there are three other recommendations described in the 

following paragraphs: $2,500,000 for endangered species consulta-
18 

tions, $1,000,000 for a newly authorized wolf livestock loss demonstration program, and $3,000,000 for recovery of endangered 

birds in response to the State of the Birds report. 

The Committee notes the importance of section 7 consultations 

on future development and therefore recommends a general program increase of $2,500,000 for Consultations and HCPs to address 

deficiencies identified by the Government Accountability Office 

[GAO]. The GAO reported in May 2009 that Service biologists could 

not account for all required monitoring reports in 63 percent of the 

consultation files they investigated. The report states, ‘‘The lack of 

systematic means to track cumulative take for some species, and 

the resulting gap in knowledge of the species’ status, exposes the 

Service to vulnerabilities, including the threat of litigation and 

unobserved declines in species. The Service has been developing 

various databases for more systematically tracking cumulative 

take, though their development largely depends on resources not 

yet available in the Service’s budget.’’ 

The Committee recommends $1,000,000 be provided for the Wolf 

Livestock Loss Demonstration Project authorized by the Omnibus 

Public Land Management Act of 2009. These funds will be used to 

provide grants to States and Indian tribes to assist livestock producers in undertaking proactive, non-lethal activities to reduce the 

risk of livestock loss due to predation by wolves and to compensate 

livestock producers for livestock losses due to such predation. 

The Committee recommends an increase of $3,000,000 for the 

Service to develop a comprehensive strategy, hire staff, and begin 

on the ground projects to recover endangered and threatened bird 

species with special emphasis on Hawaii. The Committee notes the 

publication of the multi-agency report, ‘‘The State of the Birds, 

United States of America, 2009’’, which provides a comprehensive 

overview of the crises and challenges confronting birds in every 

part of the country. The situation for native birds in Hawaii is especially dire. Of the 113 known unique species of Hawaiian birds, 

71 have become extinct and 31 more are federally listed as endangered or threatened. Predator control and habitat preservation are 

critical to the survival of the remaining species. 

The Committee recommends $117,020,000 for habitat conservation, an increase of $11,965,000 above the 2009 appropriation and 

$3,600,000 above the request. The recommendation includes the requested increases of $7,500,000 for climate change, $275,000 for 

bald and golden eagle permitting, and $1,640,000 for fixed costs 

and internal transfers. In addition to the increases in the request, 

the Committee restores $350,000 for the Mississippi State Natural 

Resources Economic Enterprise Program and increases funding for 

the Hawaii invasive species program from the current year enacted 

level of $350,000 to $1,250,000. General program increases of 

$500,000 for coastal conservation programs and $250,000 for the 

national wetlands inventory are also recommended. 

Two new congressional initiatives are recommended for habitat 

conservation. First, the Committee has provided $750,000 to contract with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct studies in 

support of sustainable water and environmental management of 

the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California. 
19 

The second initiative is a new cooperative effort to control the 

spread of invasive milfoil in Maine lakes. In the partners for fish 

and wildlife program, $500,000 is provided to begin a partnership 

with Saint Joseph’s College of Maine to, among other things, develop a model mitigation program to remove and prevent aquatic 

invasive species infestation; to combat milfoil and help repair affected habitats in seven test bed lakes; and to protect the habitat 

of fish and other wildlife that are directly and indirectly affected 

by the devastating invasion of milfoil in those lake ecosystems. 

The environmental contaminants program is funded at $14,000,000, an increase of $758,000 over 2009 and $500,000 above 

the request for a general program increase. 

National Wildlife Refuge System.—The Committee recommends 

an appropriation of $488,629,000 for operations and maintenance of 

national wildlife refuges. This amount is $25,770,000 above the 

2009 enacted level and $5,350,000 above the request. 

The recommendation fully funds requested increases of $12,000,000 for climate change delivery, $2,000,000 for the Secretary’s youth corps initiative, and $6,420,000 for fixed costs and 

internal transfers. In addition to the requested increases, the Committee recommends general program increases of $2,900,000 for 

wildlife and habitat management, $750,000 for visitor services, and 

$500,000 for refuge law enforcement. 

The continual problem of invasive rat infestation on Palmyra 

Atoll National Wildlife Refuge must be solved in 2010. The Service 

demonstrated its ability to accomplish rat eradication on Rat Island, Alaska. The Committee provides $1,200,000 in one-time 

project funding above the base funding for Palmyra for the complete eradication of rats on the atoll. 

In addition to the increases described above, the Committee redirects $3,000,000 from deferred refuge maintenance to refuge operations to be distributed as follows: $1,500,000 to wildlife and habitat management, $1,000,000 to visitor services, and $500,000 to 

refuge law enforcement. 

Migratory Bird Management, Law Enforcement, and International Conservation.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $133,573,000 for the migratory bird management, law enforcement, and international conservation programs of the Fish and 

Wildlife Service. This amount is $6,856,000 above the 2009 enacted 

level and $3,480,000 over the request. 

The Committee recommends $54,025,000 for migratory bird management, an increase of $3,179,000 above the enacted 2009 appropriation and $1,000,000 over the request. The recommendation includes the requested increases for fixed costs, bald and golden eagle 

permits, and youth conservation. The Committee also provides an 

increase of $1,000,000 for approved migratory bird joint ventures. 

The Committee recommends $65,839,000 for law enforcement operations, an increase of $3,172,000 above the enacted 2009 appropriation. The increase consists of $2,000,000 to recruit and train 

new officers to fill vacancies resulting from mandatory retirement 

of career officers and $1,199,000 for fixed cost increases less 

$27,000 for the requested internal transfer. 

Recommended funding for international programs is $13,709,000, 

an increase of $505,000 over the enacted level and $480,000 over 
20 

the request. The increases are $330,000 for international conservation, $500,000 for international wildlife trade, and $179,000 for 

fixed costs. The increases are partially offset by the $504,000 in requested transfers. Total funding available for international programs is as follows: $6,750,000 for international conservation; 

$6,809,000 for international wildlife trade; and $150,000 for the 

Caddo Lake Ramsar Center in Texas. 

Fisheries.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of 

$143,695,000 for fisheries and aquatic resource conservation. This 

amount is $11,864,000 above the 2009 enacted level and $3,000,000 

over the request. The Committee endorses the $2,000,000 Klamath 

Dam removal study, the $2,000,000 national fish habitat increase, 

the $2,200,000 increase for marine mammals, $1,300,000 for youth 

and careers in nature, and $1,919,000 for fixed costs as requested 

by the administration. The Committee does not agree to eliminate 

funding for freshwater mussel research and recovery and has restored $500,000 for this program. In addition, the Committee provides $2,000,000 for enhanced efforts to control the spread of and 

eradicate quagga and zebra mussels. The Committee also recommends a general program increase of $500,000 for national fish 

hatchery operations. 

The Committee strongly encourages the Department of Interior 

and the Forest Service to coordinate with local entities and to employ the resources necessary to prevent Quagga mussels and other 

aquatic invasive species from entering the Lake Tahoe ecosystem. 

The current budget structure for the fisheries program consists 

of five budget subactivities which are, in the view of the Committee, too many for a program with a common overriding mission. 

The Committee recommends that funding for aquatic invasive species and marine mammals be included within the aquatic habitat 

and species conservation subactivity in future budget requests. 

Climate Change and Science Capability.—The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for this new activity as requested. 

General Administration.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $152,812,000 for general administration and support for 

Service programs in 2010. This amount is $9,527,000 above the 

2009 enacted level and $1,250,000 below the request. The recommendation includes the requested increases of $3,951,000 for 

fixed costs, $4,200,000 for the Secretary’s Youth Initiative, 

$401,000 for internal transfers, and $225,000 for electronic personnel records. The Committee does not provide funds for the two 

proposed $1,000,000 increases for youth hunting and fishing. The 

Committee also provides an additional $750,000 for backlog maintenance needs at the National Conservation Training Center 

[NCTC]. The Committee recommends 2010 funding levels of 

$40,485,000 for central office administration, $43,340,000 for regional office administration, $36,440,000 for servicewide bill paying, $7,537,000 for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and 

$25,010,000 for NCTC. 

The Service-wide proposal to sell excess property to offset current 

costs is not included in the Committee recommendation.

for State and tribal wildlife grants. This amount is $5,000,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 level and $35,000,000 below the budget 

request. 

The Committee does not agree to provide $40,000,000 in additional funding for State climate change activities. The States have 

authority to proceed with their climate change activities within 

their share of the formula grants provided in this appropriation.

The Committee does not create the new grants to States appropriation account for educating young hunters and anglers as requested by the administration. The Committee notes that increases 

totalling $13,000,000 for youth programs and careers are provided 

in the Resource Management appropriation. Furthermore, over 

$120,000,000 is available in 2010 for hunter and angler education 

programs through the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration and the 

Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration accounts. The Committee believes this is a sufficient amount and encourages the States to target generous amounts for youth education programs.

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

Since the creation of Yellowstone National Park in 1872, the National Park System has grown to encompass 390 sites spanning 

more than 84 million acres in 49 States, the District of Columbia, 

American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The National Park Service, created in 1916, is charged with 

preserving these sites ‘‘unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.’’ The Service and its more than 20,000 employees also 

contribute to the protection of other historical, cultural and recreational resources through a variety of grant and technical assistance programs.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,261,309,000 

The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 

$2,261,309,000 for the Operation of the National Park System account. This amount is $129,780,000 above the fiscal year 2009 nonemergency level, and $4,707,000 below the budget request. Within 

the increase, $52,540,000 has been provided for base operational 

increases, while more than $40,000,000 has been provided for full 

fixed costs. The following table provides a comparison of the budget 

estimate and the Committee’s recommendation in the major programmatic areas. Changes to the request are detailed following the 

table.

Resource Stewardship.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $344,828,000 for resource stewardship, a reduction of 

$2,500,000 below the budget request. Changes to the request include a reduction of $2,000,000 to the climate impacts initiative, 

leaving a total of $8,000,000. While the Committee is fully supportive of the need to address the effects of climate change, the 

Service has not provided enough specific detail to justify the full 

expenditure of funds. As the appropriations process continues, the 

Committee welcomes the opportunity for further discussion with 

the Service. There is an additional reduction of $500,000 to the 

ocean and coastal resource stewardship initiative, leaving a total of 

$2,000,000. As proposed, the Service would expend $1,500,000 in 

staff salaries to implement a $1,000,000 program. The Committee 

strongly suggests the Service reevaluate that ratio. 
26 

Visitor Services.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $247,386,000 for visitor services. This amount is fully commensurate with the budget request, but includes the following change 

in how funding is allocated. The Committee directs that the interpretive renaissance plan be limited to $375,000 to undertake the 

web learning component, and that $1,000,000 be redirected toward 

the establishment of a pilot program for the teaching of American 

history and civics in the National Parks. The Service should work 

cooperatively with the Department of Education in developing curriculum and facilitate the process of bringing nationally renowned 

scholars to historically significant Park units to instruct students 

and teachers at the sites where many of the Nation’s most important events occurred. The Committee expects to receive a report on 

the status of this pilot program within 90 days after the enactment 

of this act. Within the request, $5,000,000 has been provided for 

the youth internship program, part of the department’s 21st Century Youth Conservation Corps Initiative. The Committee applauds 

the Secretary’s efforts to proactively reach out to high school and 

college-age youth and introduce those students to careers in cultural and natural resource management. 

Park Protection.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $368,698,000 for park protection activities. This amount is fully 

commensurate with the budget request. Included in the request 

and the amount provided is $102,647,000 for operations of the U.S. 

Park Police, an increase of $5,000,000 over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. This increase will allow the Service to achieve the target of 630 sworn officers, as well as implement the Inspector General recommendations on administrative reforms. In addition, the 

Committee notes that the budget request has retained $3,300,000 

in base funding provided in the fiscal year 2009 Interior appropriations bill for the Service’s contribution of an expanded law enforcement effort to eradicate illegal drug operations on Service lands. 

Marijuana cultivation on public and tribal land in California and 

other Western States is significant. These illegal activities are 

being carried out by foreign drug trafficking organizations using 

armed, illegal aliens to grow and tend these gardens. This activity 

creates safety concerns for visitors, employees, and residents, and 

causes significant damage to natural resources. The Service is directed to report semi-annually on the progress being made in this 

area. 

Facility Maintenance and Operations.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $703,013,000 for facility maintenance 

and operations, a reduction of $2,207,000 below the budget request. 

The change to the request is a reduction of $2,207,000 in facility 

maintenance for emergency storm damage preparedness. The Committee notes that an increase of $1,000,000 for this activity is provided for under the Construction account, which is where this line 

item is properly carried. 

Park Support.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of 

$441,854,000 for park support activities. This amount is fully commensurate with the budget request. 

External Administrative Costs.—The Committee recommends an 

appropriation of $155,530,000 for external administrative costs. 

This amount is fully commensurate with the budget request. 
27 

Mojave National Preserve Water Rights.—The Committee is concerned with a 99-year lease agreement announced in September 

2008 by Cadiz, Inc. and the Arizona & California Railroad Company, which purports to allow Cadiz to utilize a portion of the railroad’s right-of-way for an underground water conveyance pipeline. 

The Committee is aware of a recent Federal court decision clarifying that rights of way such as this one granted under the 1875 

General Railroad Right of Way Act are limited to uses for railroad 

purposes. Home on the Range v. AT&T Corp., 386 F. Supp. 2d 999 

(S.D. Ind. 2005) (rejecting 96 ID 439–445, M–3694 (1989)). Accordingly, the Committee believes that the conveyance of water is not 

within the scope of the easement granted to the Arizona & California Railroad Company, and has included bill language in section 

109 directing the Department of the Interior to consider the decision and analysis in Home on the Range in determining whether 

the contract with Cadiz exceeds the rights granted to the Railroad 

under its Right of Way. The provision also retains language limiting funding for any proposal to approve specified rights-of-way or 

similar authorizations on the Mojave National Preserve or lands 

managed by the Needles Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management. 

Theodore Roosevelt National Park.—The Committee recognizes 

that there is a significant elk overpopulation problem at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. The Committee is 

nevertheless concerned that the National Park Service has spent 

years and hundreds of thousands of dollars considering a number 

of proposed solutions that are not protective of U.S. taxpayer dollars and are lacking in common sense. The Committee has therefore included language in section 119 which effectively directs the 

National Park Service to allow licensed North Dakota hunters to 

be deputized and to volunteer to cull the elk population in the 

Park. Each volunteer shall also be authorized to keep the meat of 

the elk he or she has culled. The approach has been used successfully at Grand Teton National Park and the Committee is therefore 

directing the Secretary of the Interior to follow the same commonsense approach to the elk overpopulation at the Theodore Roosevelt 

National Park. As at Grand Teton, each volunteer would be allowed to cull a single elk and to keep its meat, and the Secretary 

would have the discretion to select as many volunteers as necessary to sufficiently cull the elk overpopulation at the Park. Section 119 does not impinge on the authority of the National Park 

Service to test culled elk for chronic wasting disease, and the provision applies only to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park and to 

no other national parks. 

Point Reyes National Seashore.—The Committee has included 

language in section 120 of the of the bill which directs the Secretary of the Interior to extend the existing authorization of 

Drake’s Bay Oyster Company for a period of 10 years from November 30, 2012. The Committee understands that the National Academy of Sciences [NAS] is producing a report expected in fall 2009 

that may address best management practices for oystering operations, control and eradication of tunicate Didemnum, and minimization of disturbance to marine mammals. The Committee directs the Service to provide a report, no later than 60 days after 
28 

the NAS study is made public, identifying any further research required to better manage the oystering maritime operations 

sustainably and economically within the Estero ecosystem. Further, 

the Committee directs the Service, within 60 days of enactment of 

this act, to prepare a report on the remaining 6,251 acres of potential wilderness (see November 18, 1999, page 63057 Notice of Designation of Potential Wilderness, Point Reyes National Seashore.) 

Sequoia National Park.—The Committee is aware that the Department of the Interior has been negotiating the renewal terms of 

a special use permit for the Kaweah hydroelectric project inside Sequoia National Park. Initial proposals from the department would 

have resulted in a 2,545 percent fee increase to the operator. The 

Committee finds that situation unacceptable. As such, the Committee directs the department to continue its negotiations in an effort to reach a fair, cost-effective agreement for the terms of a 10- 

year special use permit. 

Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park.—The Committee 

directs that $250,000 shall be made available to undertake the 

preparation of the Paterson Great Falls NHP general management 

plan. 

PARK PARTNERSHIP PROJECT GRANTS

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. ........................... 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... $25,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 25,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. ........................... 

The Committee has not recommended funding for Park Partnership Project Grants, as proposed in the budget request. While the 

Committee is aware that similar funding was provided in the fiscal 

year 2008 appropriation, two intervening factors have substantially 

altered the fiscal landscape. First, Congress recently provided the 

Service with $735,000,000 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Clearly, not all of the funds provided in the Recovery Act will be, or could be, used for the type of projects that would 

otherwise be proposed through this appropriation, but a substantial 

amount of Recovery Act funding will be used for precisely this type 

of project. Secondly, the Committee notes that for the last 3 years, 

the Service has carried an average unobligated balance in the 

Recreation Fee program of approximately $270,000,000 per year. 

Indeed, the current unobligated balance is $255,000,000. The Committee believes that, before further funds are provided for park-specific projects, Recovery Act funds and Recreation Fee funds must 

be fully utilized. 

NATIONAL RECREATION AND PRESERVATION

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $59,684,000

House allowance .................................................................................... 59,386,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 67,438,000 

The Committee recommends a total appropriation of $67,438,000 

for the National Recreation and Preservation account. This amount 

is $7,754,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and $13,530,000 

above the budget request. The following table provides a comparison of the budget estimate and the Committee’s recommendation in 
29 

the major programmatic areas. Changes to the request are detailed 

following the table.

Cultural Programs.—The Committee recommends an appropria- tion of $26,026,000 for cultural programs, an increase of $3,000,000 

over the budget request. The increase is for additional grants as 

authorized by Public Law 109–441, the Japanese American Confinement Site grant program. 

Heritage Area Partnership Program.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $17,741,000 for the heritage area 

program, an increase of $2,005,000 over the budget request. This 

level of funding would allow the Service to continue funding established Heritage Areas at the current enacted level; provide base 

funding for those authorized Areas without an approved management plan; and provide a small increase for those Areas that have 

had their management plan approved during the past year. 

Preserve America.—The Committee recommends an appropria- tion of $3,175,000 for the Preserve America program. The Committee has provided this funding under the National Recreation 

and Preservation account instead of under the Historic Preservation Fund account as proposed. As noted in the request, the Preserve America program is focused on heritage tourism and the 

Committee believes that such activities are more properly accounted for under this heading. 

Statutory or Contractual Aid.—The Committee recommends an 

appropriation of $5,350,000 for the statutory or contractual aid program, an increase of $5,350,000 above the budget request. These 

funds are allocated to the following organizations for the purpose 

of operating, managing and preserving resources as authorized by 

law. The Committee directs that funding for the Hudson-Champlain Quadricentennial be divided equally between the qualifying 

entities.

Save America’s Treasures.—As in past years, the Committee has 

been virtually overwhelmed with funding requests, both in terms 

of the number of requests submitted and the dollar value of the 

projects requested. The Committee believes that this attests to the 

widespread national support that this program has garnered. The 

fundamental purpose of Save America’s Treasures grants is for the 

preservation and restoration of important heritage and historical 

resources. As such, the Committee recommends the following allocations be made:

ENERGY AND MINERALS 

U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Established in 1879, the U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] serves 

as the Earth and natural science research bureau for the Department of the Interior and is the only integrated natural resources 

research bureau in the Federal Government. The Survey conducts 

research, monitoring, and assessments to contribute to understanding America’s lands, water, and biological resources. Its research and data products support the Department’s resource and 

land management needs and also provide the water, biological, energy, and mineral resources information needed by other Federal, 

State, tribal, and local government agencies to guide planning, 

management, and regulatory programs. More than 9,000 scientists, 

technicians, and support staff of the USGS are located in nearly 

400 offices in every State and in several foreign countries throughout the world. The USGS leverages its resources and expertise in 

partnership with more than 2,000 agencies of Federal, State, local, 

and tribal governments; the academic community; non-governmental organizations; and the private sector.

Emergency supplementals, 2009 .......................................................... 140,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,097,844,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,105,744,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,104,340,000 

The Committee recommends $1,104,340,000 for the U.S. Geological Survey for surveys, investigations and research, an increase of 

$60,537,000 above the fiscal year 2009 non-emergency funding 

level and $6,496,000 above the budget request. 

Geographic Research, Investigations, and Remote Sensing.—The 

Committee recommends $143,940,000 for geographic research, investigations and remote sensing activities, the same amount as the 

budget request. In agreement with the request, the Committee has 

accepted the administration’s proposal to return the national 

geospatial program and funding of $68,001,000 to this activity from 
34 

the enterprise information activity. Both the budget request and 

the Committee recommendation include a program increase above 

the current year enacted level of $300,000 for a biofuels initiative. 

Geologic Hazards, Processes, and Research.—The Committee recommends $247,881,000 for geologic hazards, resources and processes, an increase of $900,000 above the budget request. The Committee has included an amount of $250,000 to initiate and support 

a cooperative partnership between the University of Hawaii-Manoa 

and the USGS Hawaii Volcano Observatory. The agreement is intended to formalize the collaborative relationship that has been established between the two entities for monitoring, hazards assessments and other research in an area of highly active volcanoes. An 

amount of $650,000 has been included to continue the Nye County, 

Nevada minerals assessment project that was initiated last year. 

The budget request and the Committee’s recommendation include 

increases above the enacted level of $1,000,000 to expand extended 

continental shelf studies, and $1,475,000 for wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels research. 

Water Resources Investigations.—The Committee recommends 

$231,027,000 for water resources investigations, an increase of 

$3,146,000 above the budget request. Additional funds are provided 

for the following: $900,000 to continue the San Diego, California 

Formation mapping project; $500,000 to continue United StatesMexico transboundary aquifer assessments; $400,000 to continue 

the Survey’s participation in the work of the Long-term Estuary 

Assessment Group, Louisiana; $346,000 above the $154,000 included in the budget proposal to provide a total of $500,000 for 

monitoring activities and toxic studies in the Lake Champlain 

Basin; $500,000 for a water resources assessment of Maryland’s 

Coastal Plain and Piedmont aquifer systems; and $500,000 to continue well monitoring and other water resources assessments in 

Hawaii. The budget request and the Committee’s recommendation 

include increases above the enacted level of $5,000,000 to enhance 

the National Streamgage Network, and $200,000 for research on 

the environmental effects of biofuels development. 

Biological Research.—The Committee recommends an amount of 

$202,724,000 for biological research, an increase of $3,450,000 

above the budget request. Changes to the budget request include 

programmatic increases of $750,000 for general genetics and 

genomic research, $600,000 for tropical ecosystems and watershed 

health research, and $750,000 for the National Biological Information Infrastructure [NBII]. The increase in funding for the NBII is 

intended to support work in the highest priority areas of invasive 

species, pollinators, and protected area information. The NBII has 

sustained a series of budget reductions in recent years, which the 

Committee has attempted to partially address with this increase. 

Other increases above the request include $1,000,000 to continue 

San Francisco, California Salt Ponds monitoring and research, and 

$350,000 for the development and testing of protocols for monitoring invasive species, including zebra mussels, in the Columbia 

River Basin in collaboration with Washington State University and 

its partners. The budget request and the Committee’s recommendation for biological research include the following increases above 

the current year enacted level: $4,200,000 for Arctic ecosystems re-
35 

search, $5,000,000 to provide additional support for U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service climate change activities, $1,025,000 to study the 

effects of renewable energy sources on ecosystems and wildlife populations, and $2,000,000 for the Cooperative Research Units. 

Enterprise Information.—The Committee recommends 

$44,969,000 for enterprise information activities, a decrease of 

$1,000,000 from the budget request. The Committee has provided 

$1,000,000 for the 21st Century Youth Conservation Corps Initiative rather than the $2,000,000 included in the budget proposal. In 

agreement with the budget request, the Committee has transferred 

$68,001,000 from enterprise information to the geographic research, investigations and remote sensing activity where it is more 

appropriately housed. 

Global Climate Change.—The Committee recommends 

$58,177,000 for global climate change activities, the same amount 

as the budget request. Increases above the current year enacted 

level include $5,000,000 for climate change science, $5,000,000 for 

the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center, and 

$7,000,000 to expand carbon sequestration research. 

As part of its Global Climate Change agenda the committee encourages USGS to consider pursuing research on sensitive landscapes which can offer early indications that foreshadow additional 

evaluation needs associated with climate change impacts. In particular, additional monitoring and observation of aquifers such as 

those in the High Plains Grass Lands may be useful and provide 

early indications of climate change and its impact on rangelands, 

agricultural lands and vegetation. 

Science Support.—The Committee recommends $69,225,000 for 

bureau operations, the same amount as the budget request. 

Facilities.—The Committee recommends $106,397,000 for the 

Survey’s facilities program, the same amount as the budget request. 

MINERALS MANAGEMENT SERVICE

The Minerals Management Service oversees 1.76 billion acres of 

the Outer Continental Shelf [OCS], managing offshore energy and 

minerals while protecting the human, marine, and coastal environments through advanced science and technology research. The OCS 

provides 27 percent of oil and almost 14 percent of natural gas produced domestically, and sand used for coastal restoration. Also 

within MMS, the Minerals Revenue Management [MRM] program 

collects, accounts for, and disburses revenues from mineral leases 

on OCS, Federal, and American Indian lands. Through the work of 

MRM, MMS processes nearly $1,000,000,000 mineral revenue 

transactions per month from more then 29,000 producing leases, 

and it manages and distributes, on average, over $13,000,000,000 

of mineral revenues collected annually. 

Since its inception in 1982, MMS has collected and distributed 

more than $200,000,000,000 in revenues from onshore and offshore 

lands. Over the past 5 years, disbursements have averaged over 

$13,000,000,000 per year. The MMS distribution of mineral revenues to the U.S. Treasury is one of the Federal Government’s 

greatest sources of non-tax income.

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 174,317,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 174,317,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 175,217,000 

The Committee recommends $175,217,000 for royalty and off- shore minerals management, which is an increase of $17,844,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $900,000 above the 

budget request. In addition, the Committee estimates $166,730,000 

in offsetting collections, which is an increase of $20,000,000 above 

the previous year. 

The following table provides a comparison of the budget estimate 

and the Committee’s recommendation in the major programmatic 

areas.

Total, royalty and offshore minerals management .... 174,317,000 175,217,000 ∂900,000 

Changes to the 2009 enacted level include the addition of $6,520,000 to meet fixed cost increases and programmatic changes 

totaling $30,424,000. These increases are offset by the estimated 

increase in receipts of $20,000,000 over 2009. The fixed cost and 

programmatic increases are applied to the subactivities identified 

in the budget request. 

The program changes recommended by the Committee are the 

same as those included in the budget request with the addition of 

one ongoing program which the budget proposed for discontinuation. The Committee does not agree to eliminate funding for the 

Center for Marine Resources and Environment in Mississippi and 

provides $900,000 in 2010. 

The Committee recommendation provides full funding of the budget request for the following program increases: $9,160,000 for 

the leasing and environmental program; $1,100,000 for the resource evaluation program; $2,300,000 for the regulatory program

OFFICE OF SURFACE MINING RECLAMATION AND ENFORCEMENT

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement 

[OSM] was established in 1977 to oversee and carry out the requirements of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act 
37 

[SMCRA] in concert with States and Indian tribes. OSM’s primary 

objectives are to ensure coal mining activities are conducted in a 

manner that protects citizens and the environment during mining, 

ensure the land is properly reclaimed, and mitigate effects of past 

mining by reclaiming abandoned coal mines. OSM addresses its 

mission with a mix of grants to States and tribes to carry out their 

own regulatory and reclamation programs, and the administration 

of OSM’s own regulatory and reclamation programs. 

The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act Amendments 

of 2006 (Public Law 109–432) revised the mine reclamation fee distribution mechanism beginning in fiscal year 2008. State and tribal 

reclamation grants are now provided under mandatory appropriations instead of this bill.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 127,180,000 

The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 

$127,180,000 for the regulation and technology account. This 

amount is $7,024,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the same 

as the budget request. 

The Committee has included a $5,778,000 increase for State programs and $1,246,000 for fixed costs, as included in the request.

House allowance .................................................................................... 32,088,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 39,588,000 

The Committee recommends a total appropriation of $39,588,000 

for the abandoned mine reclamation fund. This amount is 

$13,358,000 below the 2009 enacted level and $7,500,000 over the 

budget request. There is an increase of $642,000 for fixed costs. 

The Committee rejects the proposal in the budget request to permanently discontinue funding for State emergency grants and Federal emergency projects. The SMCRA amendments did not provide 

a permanent source of funding for emergency programs, thus they 

must continue to be funded with discretionary appropriations. 
38 

However, the Committee is aware that the emergency abandoned 

mine land account has a large unobligated balance. Therefore, the 

Committee recommends a reduction of $14,000,000 below the enacted level which should provide sufficient funding for fiscal year 

2010.

and the Committee’s recommendation in the major programmatic 

areas.

INDIAN AFFAIRS 

BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

The Bureau of Indian Affairs [BIA] was founded in 1824 to uphold a Government-to-government relationship between the Federal Government and tribal entities. The Federal Government retained trust responsibility for individual Indians and tribes as a result of formal treaties and agreements with Native Americans. 

The Bureau provides services directly or through contracts, 

grants, or compacts to a population of 1.5 million American Indians 

and Alaska Natives who are members of 562 federally recognized 

Indian tribes in the lower 48 States and Alaska. Programs administered by the BIA and Tribes include an education system for almost 48,000 elementary and secondary students; 28 tribal colleges, 

universities and post secondary schools; social services; natural resource management on 56 million acres of trust land; economic development; law enforcement; administration of tribal courts; implementation of land and water claim settlements; replacement and 

repair of schools; repair and maintenance of roads and bridges; and 

repair of structural deficiencies on high hazard dams.

Tribal Government.—The Committee recommends an appropria- tion of $418,572,000 for tribal government support. This amount is 

$2,000,000 above the budget request and includes an increase of 

that amount for contract support costs. 

Human Services.—The Committee recommends an appropriation 

of $138,059,000 for human services. This amount is $1,063,000 

above the budget request and includes an increase of that amount 

in the housing improvement program. The increase will restore the 

program to the fiscal year 2009 level, plus fixed costs. 

Natural Resources Management.—The Committee recommends 

an appropriation of $161,618,000 for natural resources management. This amount is $850,000 above the budget request and includes an increase of that amount in the tribal management and 

development program, of which $350,000 is for the Upper Columbia 

United Tribes to comply with Federal resource management mandates, and $500,000 is for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe’s prairie 

management program. 

Real Estate Services.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $152,493,000 for real estate services. This amount is commensurate with the budget request. 

Education.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of 

$797,900,000 for education programs. This amount is $1,600,000 

above the budget request and includes an increase of that amount 

in post secondary programs, of which $1,000,000 is a general program increase for Haskell and SIPI, the two Bureau-operated colleges, and $600,000 is a general program increase for UTTC and 

NTC, the two tribally operated technical colleges. In both cases, the 

increases are to be divided proportionally between the respective 

schools. The Committee also notes that included in the overall appropriation for education programs is $50,000,000 of postsecondary 

school forward funding as requested by the Bureau. 

Public Safety and Justice.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $328,855,000 for public safety and justice. This 

amount is $25,000,000 above the budget request, and represents 

half of the $50,000,000 of additional funding the Committee is providing for increased law enforcement activities in Indian country. 

The Committee has provided language in the bill directing that 

these funds shall be for public safety and justice programs as authorized by the Emergency Fund for Indian Safety and Health, established by section 601 of Public Law 110–293. It is the Committee’s intent that these funds shall be made available to the Bureau 

and would be allocated as follows: $20,000,000 in law enforcement, 
40 

of which $10,000,000 is for criminal investigations and police services; $5,000,000 is for detention and corrections; $1,000,000 is for 

law enforcement special initiatives; $1,000,000 is for additional 

training classes at the Indian Police Academy; and $3,000,000 is 

for program management. Additional changes include an increase 

of $5,000,000 for tribal courts. The Committee is providing these 

funds to augment the Bureau’s planned increases in police officers, 

detention and correctional center officers, and other costs associated with training officers and housing offenders. 

The Committee notes that within the funds provided, $500,000 

is being made available as requested for the Indian Police Academy’s outreach initiative. The Academy is working to establish satellite training programs in conjunction with universities, including 

United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, North Dakota. The 

Committee recognizes the high crime rate in Indian country and 

the need for more Indian law enforcement personnel. Sadly, less 

than 3,000 tribal and BIA officers patrol more than 56 million 

acres of Indian land. The Indian Police Academy graduates only 80 

new officers each year and has an annual attrition rate of 47 percent. The Committee applauds the Bureau for taking this important first step in establishing increased training opportunities in 

areas closer to the duty stations of the officers being trained, and 

directs BIA to provide a strategy and timeline for boosting Indian 

law enforcement training, including the possible addition of a second police academy in the Northern Great Plains. 

Community and Economic Development.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $43,910,000 for community and economic development. This amount is commensurate with the budget 

request. 

Executive Direction and Administrative Services.—The Committee recommends an appropriation of $267,915,000 for executive 

direction and administrative services. This amount is commensurate with the budget request. 

Other Matters.—The Committee is concerned with the rate of 

progress being made in addressing the management and funding 

deficiencies in the Wapato irrigation project, located near Yakima, 

Washington. The Committee notes a 2006 report by the Government Accountability Office which identified various concerns related to project management, deferred maintenance, and financial 

stability. The Committee directs the Bureau to report by January 

1, 2010, on specific short term and long term actions necessary to 

alleviate these problems and a schedule for implementation.

budget request, and represents half of the $50,000,000 of additional 

funding the Committee is providing for increased law enforcement 

activities in Indian country. Changes to the request include an increase of $20,000,000 in facilities improvement and repair, and an 

increase of $5,000,000 in employee housing. The Committee believes that infrastructure investments are as important as increases in the number of police officers, and urges the Bureau to 

expedite the use of these construction dollars.

and infrastructure. The Committee directs the Secretary to develop 

an Invasive Mussel Control Plan for both quagga and zebra mussels, and to provide the Committee a preliminary plan within 90 

days and a final plan no later than 180 days following enactment 

of this act. 

The Committee has provided bill language allowing the Secretary 

to make adjustments to prior year payments under the Payments 

In Lieu of Taxes program to account for corrected data that comes 

in from Federal agencies. 

INSULAR AFFAIRS

The Office of Insular Affairs [OIA] was established on August 4, 

1995 through Secretarial Order No. 3191, which also abolished the 

former Office of Territorial and International Affairs. OIA has administrative responsibility for coordinating Federal policy in the 

territories of American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 

the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands [CNMI], and 

oversight of Federal programs and funds in the freely associated 

states of the Federated States of Micronesia [FSM], the Republic 

of the Marshall Islands [RMI], and the Republic of Palau. 

Following the expiration of the first Compact of Free Association 

in 2003, a new Compact of Free Association was negotiated between the United States and the states of FSM and RMI. Under 

the Compact, the status of free association recognizes each Freely 

Associated State as a sovereign state with the capacity to conduct 

foreign affairs consistent with the terms of the Compact. The Compact places full responsibility for defense with the United States. 

The Compact also provides grant funds and Federal program assistance, principally through the Department of the Interior.

The Committee recommends funding fire preparedness at 

$289,192,000, an increase of $7,425,000 over the 2009 appropriation level. The increase is for fixed costs. The Committee does not 

agree to offset the base budget with $3,740,000 in cuts as proposed 

in the budget request. 

Wildland fire suppression is funded at the 10-year average cost 

of $369,797,000, which is an increase of $34,606,000 over the 2009 

appropriation and the same as the request. 

Hazardous fuels reduction is provided $206,206,000, an increase 

of $3,153,000 above the 2009 appropriation. The Committee does 

not agree to the proposed program cut of $1,117,000. 

Burned area rehabilitation is funded at the 2009 appropriation 

and budget request level of $20,305,000. 

The Committee recommends funding for fire facilities, joint fire 

science, and rural fire assistance at the request level. 
46 

The Committee continues to be disappointed that the Forest 

Service and Department of the Interior have failed to produce and 

deploy a fire preparedness planning tool to replace the systems 

that were in place until 2004. The Fire Program Analysis system 

has been repeatedly promoted by both agencies as the key to determining optimal staffing and budget levels for the past 5 years, yet 

the agencies have yet to produce a working system. It is imperative 

that both agencies expedite development of the system in order to 

justify further investment beyond the current fiscal year. 

PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXES

On October 3, 2008, Congress enacted the Emergency Economic 

Stabilization Act of 2008, Public Law 110–343, which authorized 

counties to receive their full PILT entitlement from 2008 through 

2012. These funds are now available without further appropriation, 

and will amount to approximately $382,000,000 for fiscal year 

2010. The Committee has therefore not included discretionary 

funding in this account. 

CENTRAL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS FUND

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $10,148,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 10,175,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 10,175,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 10,175,000 

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,175,000 for 

the central hazardous materials fund, which is $27,000 above the 

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

NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND RESTORATION

The mission of the natural resource damage assessment and restoration program is to restore natural resources injured as a result 

of oil spills or hazardous substance releases into the environment. 

As authorized in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 

Compensation and Liability Act [CERCLA], the Clean Water Act, 

and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, injuries to natural resources that 

the Department of the Interior manages or controls are assessed 

and appropriate restoration projects are identified. Recoveries from 

potentially responsible parties, either through negotiated settlements or legal actions, are used to finance restoration of the injured resources. The Restoration Program Office coordinates the 

various technical, scientific, legal, and economic aspects of this 

work, as well as the various departmental bureaus and offices involved. 

NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT FUND

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $6,338,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 6,462,000 

The Committee recommends a total appropriation of $6,462,000 

for the natural resource damage assessment fund. This amount is 

$124,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and equal to the budget 

request. The increase is for fixed costs. 
47

TITLE II 

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] was created 

through Executive Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970, designed to 

consolidate certain Federal Government environmental activities 

into a single agency. The plan was submitted by the President to 

the Congress on July 8, 1970, and the Agency was established as 

an independent agency in the executive branch on December 2, 

1970, by consolidating 15 components from 5 departments and 

independent agencies. 

A description of EPA’s pollution control programs by media 

follows: 

Air.—The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 authorize a national program of air pollution research, regulation, prevention, 

and enforcement activities. 

Water Quality.—The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as 

amended, provides the framework for protection of the Nation’s 

surface waters. The law recognizes that it is the primary responsibility of the States to prevent, reduce, and eliminate water pollution. The States determine the desired uses for their waters, set 

standards, identify current uses and, where uses are being impaired or threatened, develop plans for the protection or restoration 

of the designated use. They implement the plans through control 

programs such as permitting and enforcement, construction of municipal waste water treatment works, and nonpoint source control 

practices. The CWA also regulates discharge of dredge or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. 

Drinking Water.—The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, as 

amended in 1996, charges EPA with the responsibility of implementing a program to assure that the Nation’s public drinking 

water supplies are free of contamination that may pose a human 

health risk, and to protect and prevent the endangerment of 

ground water resources which serve as drinking water supplies. 

Hazardous Waste.—The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 

of 1976 mandated EPA to develop a regulatory program to protect 

human health and the environment from improper hazardous 

waste disposal practices. The RCRA Program manages hazardous 

wastes from generation through disposal. 

EPA’s responsibilities and authorities to manage hazardous 

waste were greatly expanded under the Hazardous and Solid 

Waste Amendments of 1984. Not only did the regulated universe 

of wastes and facilities dealing with hazardous waste increase significantly, but past mismanagement practices, in particular prior 

releases at inactive hazardous and solid waste management units, 
50 

were to be identified and corrective action taken. The 1984 amendments also authorized a regulatory and implementation program 

directed to owners and operators of underground storage tanks. 

Pesticides.—The objective of the Pesticide Program is to protect 

the public health and the environment from unreasonable risks 

while permitting the use of necessary pest control approaches. This 

objective is pursued by EPA under the Food Quality Protection Act, 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 through three principal means: (1) 

review of existing and new pesticide products; (2) enforcement of 

pesticide use rules; and (3) research and development to reinforce 

the ability to evaluate the risks and benefits of pesticides. 

Radiation.—The radiation program’s major emphasis is to minimize the exposure of persons to ionizing radiation, whether from 

naturally occurring sources, from medical or industrial applications, nuclear power sources, or weapons development. 

Toxic Substances.—The Toxic Substances Control Act establishes 

a program to stimulate the development of adequate data on the 

effects of chemical substances on health and the environment, and 

institute control action for those chemicals which present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. The act’s coverage affects more than 60,000 chemicals currently in commerce, 

and all new chemicals. 

Multimedia.—Multimedia activities are designed to support programs where the problems, tools, and results are cross media and 

must be integrated to effect results. This integrated program encompasses the Agency’s research, enforcement, and abatement activities. 

Superfund.—The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 established a national program 

to protect public health and the environment from the threats 

posed by inactive hazardous waste sites and uncontrolled spills of 

hazardous substances. The original statute was amended by the 

Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. Under 

these authorities, EPA manages a hazardous waste site cleanup 

program including emergency response and long-term remediation. 

Brownfields.—The Comprehensive Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 as amended by the Small 

Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 

2002 establishes a national program to assess, cleanup, and provide support to States, Tribes, local communities, and other stakeholders to work together to reuse Brownfields. 

Leaking Underground Storage Tanks.—The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 established the leaking underground storage tank [LUST] trust fund to conduct corrective actions for releases from leaking underground storage tanks that contain petroleum or other hazardous substances. EPA implements 

the LUST response program primarily through cooperative agreements with the States. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $10,196,736,000 for the Environmental Protection Agency, a decrease of $299,264,000 from the re-
51 

quest and increase of $2,551,062,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency level. The Committee proposes to offset this 

amount by rescinding $40,000,000 of prior-year balances and has 

included language to this effect in the Administrative Provisions 

section. 

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $790,051,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 842,349,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 849,649,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 842,799,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

EPA’s ‘‘Science and technology’’ account provides funding for the 

scientific knowledge and tools necessary to support decisions on 

preventing, regulating, and abating environmental pollution and to 

advance the base of understanding on environmental sciences. 

These efforts are conducted through contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements with universities, industries, other private commercial firms, nonprofit organizations, State and local governments, and Federal agencies, as well as through work performed at 

EPA’s laboratories and various field stations and field offices. In 

addition, Hazardous Substance Superfund Trust Fund resources 

are transferred to this account directly from the Hazardous Substance Superfund. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $842,799,000 for science and technology programs, an increase of $450,000 above the request and an 

increase of $52,748,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. 

Consistent with the budget request, the Committee recommends 

$26,834,000 be paid from the Hazardous Substance Superfund account to fund ongoing research activities authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act of 1980, as amended. 

The Committee’s recommended changes to the budget request 

are detailed below. 

Homeland Security.—The Committee has included $18,726,000 

for the Water Security Initiative program, a decrease of $5,000,000 

below the request. The Committee notes that this level represents 

a 25 percent increase in funding for the program over the fiscal 

year 2009 enacted level. The recommendation fully funds the remaining two Water Security utility pilot projects, bringing the total 

to five pilot projects, and provides a $2,000,000 increase above the 

enacted level for related monitoring, evaluation and research activities. 

Research: Special Priorities.—The Committee has not agreed to 

the request to terminate funds for special priorities and has included $5,450,000 for extramural research grants to fund high-priority research by EPA partners on water quality and availability 

issues. These funds shall be awarded competitively. Priority should 

be given to partners that demonstrate a national scope for their 

programs. 
52 

Air Toxics Research.—The Committee continues to be concerned 

about the effects that toxic substances found in air pollution have 

on human health and the environment, including public health impacts such as asthma and other respiratory diseases. The Committees urges the Agency to expand its air toxics research portfolio 

and encourages the Office of Research and Development to consider 

collaborations with institutions such as the Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Research Center to further this research, 

as authorized by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. 

Biocrude Research.—The Committee encourages the Agency to 

work with its partners to research the potential of producing 

biocrude from wastewater treatment plants that allow the production of renewable fuels through traditional petroleum refining techniques. 

Health Effects of Fuel Efficiency and Emission Reduction Efforts.—The Committee is aware that efforts to improve fuel efficiency and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will, in turn, require careful evaluation for potential consequences for human 

health and the environment. The Committee encourages the EPA 

to work with extramural research partners and explore ways to 

strengthen human health research and assessment efforts related 

to alternative fuels and emission reduction technologies. 

Impacts of Climate Change and Renewable Energy on Coastal 

Environments.—The Committee encourages the Agency to work in 

close collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and its 

science laboratories to ensure that there is appropriate coordination in addressing climate change and renewable energy challenges 

that impact the Nation’s waters and coastal environments. 

ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS AND MANAGEMENT

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $2,392,079,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 2,940,564,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 3,022,054,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,878,780,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Agency’s ‘‘Environmental programs and management’’ account includes the development of environmental standards; monitoring and surveillance of pollution conditions; direct Federal pollution control planning; technical assistance to pollution control agencies and organizations; preparation of environmental impact statements; enforcement and compliance assurance; and assistance to 

Federal agencies in complying with environmental standards and 

ensuring that their activities have minimal environmental impact. 

It provides personnel compensation, benefits, and travel and other 

administrative expenses for all agency programs except Hazardous 

Substance Superfund, LUST, Science and Technology, Oil Spill Response, and OIG. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $2,878,780,000 for environmental 

programs and management activities, a decrease of $61,784,000 

below the budget request and an increase of $486,701,000 above 
53 

the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. Changes to the request are detailed below: 

Brownfields.—The Committee’s recommendation includes 

$23,904,000 for Brownfields program operations, a decrease of 

$1,350,000 below the request. The Committee has not agreed to the 

budget request to provide additional overhead related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111–5). The Committee notes that it has already provided $3,500,000 to the Agency 

for this purpose through that act. 

Climate Protection.—The Committee strongly supports the administration’s efforts to increase climate protection programs and 

has provided the requested $111,634,000 for these activities. In 

particular, the Committee appreciates full funding of $17,005,000 

to implement the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, as required by 

Public Law 111–8. The Committee is aware that the Agency is 

working to finalize the rule but is likely to miss the statutory deadline of June 26, 2009 to promulgate the final rule. Data collected 

by this rule is essential to inform future climate policy, and the 

Committee directs the Agency to finalize the rule on a schedule 

that will ensure data collection can begin no later than January 1, 

2010. 

Environmental Protection: Special Priorities.—The Committee 

has included $16,000,000 to fund high-priority environmental protection grants on a competitive basis. These funds shall be used for 

grants to organizations that fund technical assistance programs for 

water quality and availability issues, including helping water systems comply with Federal water quality standards. Priority shall 

be given to organizations whose activities demonstrate a national 

scope. 

Geographic Programs.—The Committee has provided $478,696,000 for Geographic Programs, a decrease of $72,434,000 

from the request. Changes to the budget request are as follows: —$400,000,000 for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a decrease of $75,000,000 below the request. The Committee has 

agreed to consolidate and expand funding for the Agency’s 

Great Lakes National Program Office and Great Lakes Legacy 

Act programs within this new program-project. Additional details are provided below. 

—$6,000,000 to continue competitive grants to restore the San 

Francisco Bay watershed, an increase of $1,000,000 above the 

request. 

—$3,000,000 to continue Lake Champlain restoration activities, 

an increase of $1,566,000 above the request. 

Information Exchange.—The Committee has agreed to the budget 

request and provided $131,825,000 for information exchange programs. As in prior years, the Committee directs the Agency to follow the statutory formula when allocating funds for environmental 

education activities. 

Legal/Science/Regulatory/Economic Review.—The Committee’s 

recommendation provides $126,231,000 for legal, science, regulatory and economic review programs, a general program decrease 

of $2,000,000 from the request. 

Operations and Administration.—The Committee recommends 

$509,895,000 for operations and administration programs, a 
54 

$2,000,000 decrease from the request. The Agency is directed to 

take this decrease from the Financial Systems Modernization 

Project [FSMP]. The Committee notes that this will bring the total 

funding available for the FSMP to $19,500,000, a 38 percent increase above the enacted level. 

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.—To accomplish this initiative, 

the Committee has included bill language allowing EPA broad authority to transfer funding to or to establish interagency agreements with other Federal agencies, and to make grants to State 

and local governments, nonprofit organizations, and other relevant 

entities as appropriate. The Committee directs the Agency to maximize funding for on-the-ground restoration activities that achieve 

measurable results and to follow the recommendations of the Great 

Lakes Regional Collaboration Strategy. The Agency and its Federal 

partners are expected to limit overhead and to utilize non-Federal 

partners to accomplish restoration objectives where appropriate 

and cost-effective. EPA is also encouraged to work with non-Federal partners to determine appropriate matching requirements, including the use of in-kind matches. 

The Agency is expected to work with non-Federal stakeholders to 

develop a process for them to provide advice, guidance, and recommendations to ensure that EPA selects restoration projects for 

future fiscal years that reflect the highest priority needs. The Committee further directs the Agency to provide annual reports, starting on March 1, 2010 and continuing each year thereafter, which 

detail yearly program accomplishments and compare specific funding levels allocated for participating Federal agencies from fiscal 

year to fiscal year. The Committee expects EPA and its Federal 

partners to use the funding increase recommended for fiscal year 

2010 to supplement, not supplant, base funding levels for Great 

Lakes programs, when compared to fiscal year 2009. 

Chemical Facility Risk Management.—The Committee is concerned by the findings of a recent Office of Inspector General report 

that the Agency has not inspected or audited more than half of the 

493 chemical processing facilities identified by its Office of Emergency Management. In August 2008, an explosion at one such highrisk facility, the Bayer CropScience pesticide manufacturing plant 

in Institute, West Virginia, fatally injured two employees and 

threatened a storage tank containing highly toxic methyl 

isocyanate, endangering the lives of area residents. Per the Inspector General’s recommendations, the Committee expects the Agency 

to take additional steps to ensure that all high-risk chemical facilities are inspected for risk management and process safety compliance. The Committee believes these steps should include the development of inspection requirements to further prioritize its facilities 

inspections, the development of a system to track the Agency’s 

progress in completing the required inspections and the implementation of additional management controls to identify facilities with 

regulated chemicals that have not filed risk management plans. 

The Agency is directed to provide a report to the Committee no 

later than 90 days after enactment of this act outlining an action 

plan for improving its chemical facility risk management program, 

including current and future staffing and resource requirements. 
55 

Mercury Monitoring.—The Committee remains concerned about 

the incidence of mercury pollution and encourages the Agency to 

continue its work with the National Atmospheric Deposition Program to coordinate an atmospheric monitoring network for mercury 

that includes Federal and State agencies and tribes. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $44,791,000 

Emergency supplementals, 2009 .......................................................... 20,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 44,791,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 44,791,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 44,791,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Office of Inspector General [OIG] provides audit, evaluation, 

and investigation products and advisory services to improve the 

performance and integrity of EPA programs and operations. The IG 

also holds the position of Inspector General for the Chemical Safety 

and Hazard Investigation Board. 

Trust fund resources are transferred to this account directly from 

the Hazardous Substance Superfund. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee’s recommendation includes $44,791,000 for the 

Office of the Inspector General, equal to the request. In addition, 

the Committee recommends a transfer of $9,975,000 from the Hazardous Substances Superfund account equal to the request. 

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $35,001,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 37,001,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 35,001,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 35,001,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The appropriation for buildings and facilities at EPA provides for 

the design and construction of EPA-owned facilities as well as for 

the repair, extension, alteration, and improvement of facilities utilized by the Agency. These funds correct unsafe conditions, protect 

health and safety of employees and Agency visitors, and prevent 

deterioration of structures and equipment. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee’s recommendation provides $35,001,000 for the 

Agency’s buildings and facilities program instead of $37,001,000 as 

proposed in the request. This amount is equal to the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level. 
56 

HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE SUPERFUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $1,285,025,000 

Emergency supplementals, 2009 .......................................................... 600,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1,308,541,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,306,541,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,308,541,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

On October 17, 1986, Congress amended the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 

[CERCLA] through the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 [SARA]. SARA reauthorized and expanded the 

Hazardous Substance Superfund to address the problems of uncontrolled hazardous waste sites and spills. Specifically, the legislation 

mandates that EPA: (1) provide emergency response to hazardous 

waste spills; (2) take emergency action at hazardous waste sites 

that pose an imminent hazard to public health or environmentally 

sensitive ecosystems; (3) engage in long-term planning, remedial 

design, and construction to clean up hazardous waste sites where 

no financially viable responsible party can be found; (4) take enforcement actions to require responsible private and Federal parties to clean up hazardous waste sites; and (5) take enforcement actions to recover costs where the fund has been used for cleanup. 

Due to the site-specific nature of the Agency’s Superfund program, 

site-specific travel is not considered part of the overall travel ceiling set for the Superfund account. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $1,308,541,000 for Hazardous Substance Superfund programs, equal to the budget request and 

$23,517,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency 

level. 

Libby Superfund Risk Assessment and Coordination.—The Committee believes that as part of the recently declared public health 

emergency in Libby, Montana the Agency must develop a clear 

process for identifying long-term health risks caused by Superfund 

site contamination. The Committee is concerned that cleanup efforts to date have not adequately removed visible vermiculite and 

known public health risks. The Committee also recognizes that full 

community involvement is a critical component for long-term cleanup activities. To address these concerns, the Agency is directed to 

coordinate with the Department of Health and Human Services to 

identify the asbestos exposure risks associated with cleanup activities in Libby and their impact on long-term health care needs for 

the community. The Agency shall provide a report to the Committee within 180 days of enactment that details: (1) currently 

known health risks; (2) the process used to determine a baseline 

risk assessment for adults and children in the community; and (3) 

cleanup activities that are planned while a Record of Decision is 

being developed. 

Rialto-Colton Basin in California.—The Committee continues to 

support the Agency’s proposed listing of Rialto-Colton Basin in San 
57 

Bernardino County, California to the National Priorities List to remediate groundwater contamination, and is concerned about the 

delay in accomplishing this goal. The Agency is directed to report 

to the Committee within 60 days of enactment regarding the status 

of the proposed listing, the reasons for delay, and the timeline for 

issuing a final decision. The Committee also continues to encourage 

the Agency to issue water replacement orders against the parties 

responsible for trichloroethylene and perchlorate contamination of 

the groundwater basin to remain in effect until clean drinking 

water supplies are fully restored to the city of Rialto, city of Colton, 

West Valley Water District and the Fontana Water Company. 

Halaco Superfund Site.—The Committee is concerned that two 

dilapidated structures located on the current Halaco Engineering 

Company Co. Superfund site in Oxnard, California, pose a significant and immediate risk to public health and safety. The Committee understands that the property’s owners have failed to comply with past orders to demolish or repair the buildings and notes 

that an EPA-retained structural engineer determined that the 

buildings are structurally unsafe and recommended that they be 

demolished as soon as possible. The Committee believes that the 

buildings must be demolished immediately and urges EPA to remove the buildings through an interim removal action while it completes required environmental analyses on the site. 

LEAKING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $112,577,000 

Emergency supplementals, 2009 .......................................................... 200,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 113,101,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 113,101,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 114,171,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorizations Act of 1986 

[SARA] established the leaking underground storage tank [LUST] 

trust fund to conduct corrective actions for releases from leaking 

underground storage tanks containing petroleum and other hazardous substances. EPA implements the LUST program through 

State cooperative agreement grants which enable States to conduct 

corrective actions to protect human health and the environment, 

and through non-State entities including Indian tribes under section 8001 of RCRA. The trust fund is also used to enforce responsible parties to finance corrective actions and to recover expended 

funds used to clean up abandoned tanks. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee’s recommendation provides $114,171,000 for 

leaking underground storage tank program activities, an increase 

of $1,070,000 above the budget request. The increase shall be used 

to restore leaking underground storage tank grants authorized by 

the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.

OIL SPILL RESPONSE

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $17,687,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 18,379,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 18,379,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 18,379,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This appropriation, authorized by the Federal Water Pollution 

Control Act of 1987 and amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 

provides funds to prepare for and prevent releases of oil and other 

petroleum products into navigable waterways. EPA is also reimbursed for incident specific response costs through the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, which pursuant to law is managed by the 

United States Coast Guard. EPA is responsible for: directing all 

cleanup and removal activities posing a threat to public health and 

the environment; conducting site inspections, including compelling 

responsible parties to undertake cleanup actions; reviewing containment plans at facilities; reviewing area contingency plans; pursuing cost recovery of fund-financed cleanups; and conducting research of oil cleanup techniques. Funds for this appropriation are 

provided through the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund which is composed of fees and collections made through provisions of the Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990, the Comprehensive Oil Pollution Liability 

and Compensation Act, the Deepwater Port Act of 1974, the Outer 

Continental Shelf Lands Act Amendments of 1978, and the Federal 

Water Pollution Control Act as amended. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $18,379,000 for oil spill response 

and prevention activities, equal to the request. 

STATE AND TRIBAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $2,968,464,000 

Emergency supplementals, 2009 .......................................................... 6,400,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 5,191,274,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 5,215,446,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 4,954,274,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘State and tribal assistance grants’’ account funds grants to 

support the State revolving fund programs; State, tribal, regional, 

and local environmental programs; and special projects to address 

critical water and waste water treatment needs. 

Included in this account are funds for the following infrastructure grant programs: Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds; United States-Mexico Border Program; Alaska Native villages; and Brownfield State and Tribal Response program 

grants authorized by CERCLA section 128(a). 

It also contains the following categorical environmental grants, 

State/tribal program grants, and assistance and capacity building 

grants: (1) air resource assistance to State, regional, local, and tribal governments (secs. 105 and 103 of the Clean Air Act); (2) radon 

State and tribal grants; (3) water pollution control agency resource 
59 

supplementation (sec. 106 of the FWPCA); (4) BEACHS Protection 

grants (sec. 406 of FWPCA as amended); (5) nonpoint source (sec. 

319 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act); (6) wetlands State 

program development; (7) water quality cooperative agreements 

(sec. 104(b)(3) of FWPCA); (8) targeted watershed grants; (9) wastewater operator training grants; (10) public water system supervision; (11) underground injection control; (12) drinking water program State homeland security coordination grants; (13) hazardous 

waste financial assistance; (14) Brownfields activities authorized by 

CERCLA section 104(k); (15) underground storage tanks; (16) pesticides program implementation; (17) lead grants; (18) toxic substances compliance; (19) pesticides enforcement; (20) the Environmental Information Exchange Network; (21) pollution prevention; 

(22) sector program; and (23) Indians general assistance grants. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $4,954,274,000 for State and tribal 

assistance grants, a decrease of $237,000,000 below the request 

and an increase of $1,985,810,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency level. 

Infrastructure Assistance.—The Committee’s recommendation includes a total of $3,843,000,000 for infrastructure improvement 

programs, a decrease of $237,000,000 below the request and 

$1,969,391,000 above the enacted, non-emergency level. 

The Committee’s recommendation includes $2,100,000,000 for the 

Clean Water State Revolving Fund program, a decrease of 

$300,000,000 from the request. That amount provides a 204 percent increase for the program compared to the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency level. The Committee also provides 

$1,387,000,000 for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program, a decrease of $113,000,000 below the request. These funding 

levels would bring the total amount appropriated to States for 

water and sewer improvements to more than $11,000,000,000 over 

the past 2 fiscal years. 

The Committee has also included language proposed by the administration to modify a number of provisions relating to the Clean 

and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund programs, including: (1) 

increasing the percentage of funds set aside for grants to Tribes 

from each Revolving Fund program to 2 percent; (2) increasing the 

percentage of funds set aside from each Revolving Fund program 

for grants to U.S. territories to 1.5 percent; and (3) requiring 20 

percent of the funds provided for the Revolving Funds be targeted 

to green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency and other environmentally innovative projects. 

In addition, the Committee’s recommendation includes 

$150,000,000 to fund targeted infrastructure assistance grants not 

included in the budget request. These grants shall require a local 

match of 45 percent of the total project cost unless EPA grants a 

hardship waiver. Funds shall be distributed as follows:

The Committee’s recommendation includes an increase of 

$5,000,000 above the request for the Alaska Native Villages infrastructure assistance program, for a total of $15,000,000. 

The Committee has provided $101,000,000 for Brownfields 

project grants. The increase of $1,000,000 above the request shall 

be used to expand the Technical Assistance to Brownfields Community program. The Committee also concurs with the budget request 

and has provided $60,000,000 for the Diesel Emission Reduction 

Act grant program. The Committee recommends an increase of $20,000,000 above 

the request to fund targeted airshed grants to reduce air pollution 

in the Nation’s most polluted air districts. Of these funds, 

$10,000,000 shall be divided equally between the San Joaquin Air 
63 

Pollution Control District and South Coast Air Quality Management District in California. These funds shall be used to continue 

emission reduction activities in the transportation, agriculture, and 

ports sectors and shall be matched on at least a one-to-one basis. 

The remaining $10,000,000 shall be used for grants distributed on 

a competitive basis to nonattainment areas that EPA determines 

are ranked as the top five most polluted areas relative to annual 

ozone or particulate matter 2.5 standards. To determine these areas, 

the Agency shall use the most recent design values calculated from 

validated air quality data. The Committee notes that these funds 

are available for emission reduction activities deemed necessary for 

compliance with national ambient air quality standards and included in a State Implementation Plan submitted to EPA. 

Categorical Grants.—The Committee recommends $1,111,274,000 

for categorical grants, equal to the request. 

State and Local Air Quality Grants.—The Committee has not 

agreed to the request to change the authorities under which State 

and local air district grants are administered from section 103 to 

section 105 of the Clean Air Act, which require additional State 

and local matching funds. 

Rescission.—The Committee is aware that the Agency has large 

unobligated and unliquidated balances of prior-year State and Tribal Assistance Grants funds, including those identified by the Office 

of the Inspector General in its May 1, 2009 report. The Committee 

believes the Agency should make every effort to reduce these balances and, accordingly, has included bill language in the Administrative Provisions section increasing the amount recommended for 

rescission to $40,000,000. Consistent with prior years, the Committee directs the Agency to take its first amounts from unobligated balances from the title II construction grants program, unobligated prior-year balances from State categorical grants and balances for special projects appropriated in fiscal year 2003 or earlier 

which have not been obligated on an approved grants as of the date 

of enactment of this bill. The Committee has also agreed to include 

language proposed in the budget request prohibiting the Agency 

from rescinding amounts designated by Congress as emergency 

funding. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

As in prior years, the Committee has retained language, as proposed by the administration, relating to tribal programs and pesticide registration service fees. The Committee has included language relating to rescission of prior-year funds as part of the State 

and Tribal Assistance Grants appropriation rather than carrying 

the language as an administrative provision, as proposed in the 

budget request. 

As noted previously, the Committee has included modified bill 

language relating the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative that allows EPA to: (1) to transfer up to half of funds appropriated for the 

initiative through the Environmental Programs and Management 

account to other Federal agencies to facilitate restoration projects; 

(2) establish interagency agreements with other Federal agencies to 
64 

facilitate restoration projects; and (3) to make grants to State and 

local government, nonprofit organizations and other relevant entities as appropriate.

to sustain the Nation’s forests and rangelands. Research scientists 

collaborate with industry, non-governmental organizations, colleges 

and universities, State foresters, and other governmental agencies. 

The research program works on a number of issues that are critical 

to the mission of the Forest Service including fire and fuels; 

invasive species; forest inventory and analysis; vegetation and protection; wildlife and fish habitat; soil, water, and air resources; 

valuation of forests and grasslands; urban forests and the urbanwildland interface. Research is conducted at six research stations, 

the Forest Products Laboratory, and the International Institute of 

Tropical Forestry located in Puerto Rico, with approximately 500 

scientists and 67 sites located throughout the United States. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee’s recommendation includes $307,012,000 for forest and rangeland research programs, an increase of $6,400,000 

above the request and $10,632,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. 

Base Program.—The Committee’s recommendation includes 

$240,073,000 for base research activities, an increase of $400,000 

above the request. The Committee directs the increase of $400,000 above the request to fund the Center for Bottomlands Hardwood Research in 

Mississippi, for a total of $800,000. The Committee has agreed to 
66 

the budget request to allocate $2,100,000 for the Northeastern 

States Research Cooperative program, including $900,000 each for 

the programs in the States of New Hampshire and Vermont and 

$300,000 for the program in the State of Maine. 

Forest Inventory and Analysis [FIA].—The Committee recommends a $5,000,000 general program increase above the request 

for the Forest Inventory and Analysis program. The Committee understands that this increase will enable the Service to add Hawaii, 

New Mexico, and Nevada to the national inventory and to establish 

intensive monitoring sites for the Service’s experimental forests 

and other high-priority research sites across the Nation. The Committee notes that the expansion of the Service’s FIA program will 

provide essential land use and ecosystem data required by the 

Service and other Federal and non-Federal partners to inform climate change decisions. Within 90 days of enactment, the Service 

is directed to provide a report detailing proposed FIA program accomplishments, including sites that have been selected for additional monitoring and the criteria used to select those sites. 

Other.—The Committee has not agreed to rescind $1,000,000 of 

prior-year balances, as proposed in the budget request.

Urban and Community Forestry.—The Committee provides 

$29,327,000 for urban and community forestry programs, equal to 

the request. 

The Committee is encouraged by the work done within the 

Urban and Community Forestry program to develop a framework 

to inform policymakers across agencies at the national, regional, 

and local levels on impacts, including environmental degradation, 

of people and infrastructure on their natural environment. The 

Committee believes it is critical to integrate human system and 

ecosystems data so that policymakers can make better decisions 

and policies that affect the human health and the environment. 

The Committee expects the Service to continue supporting the development of this framework to encompass human systems such as 

transit, energy and water infrastructure, beginning with a particular focus on the water-scarce Southwest region. 

Economic Action Program.—The Committee has not agreed to 

the request to terminate the Economic Action program and recommends an increase of $5,000,000 to fund the following targeted 

projects: $300,000 to the Missouri Forest Foundation to fund biomass-to-energy activities; $200,000 to the Utah Department of Agriculture to fund biomass utilization activities; $2,500,000 to the 

Service’s Region 5 headquarters to continue infrastructure assistance grants for small forest products businesses in California; 

$500,000 to the State of Vermont to fund forest products business 

development grants and technical assistance; and $500,000 to the 

Calaveras [CA] Healthy Impact Products Solutions consortium to 

fund a biomass utilization initiative. The additional $1,000,000 

above the request is also provided to the Service’s Wood Education 

and Resource Center in Princeton, West Virginia, for technical assistance and business development activities, for a total of 

$1,900,000. 

Forest Resource Inventory and Analysis.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $5,035,000 for forest resource inventory and 

analysis cooperative programs, equal to the request. 

International Program.—The Committee has provided $9,068,000 

for the International Forestry program, equal to the request.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The National Forest System [NFS] provides for the planning, assessment, and conservation of ecosystems while delivering multiple 

public services and uses. Within the NFS, there are 155 national 

forests and 20 national grasslands located in 43 States, as well as 

Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, managed under multiple-use 

and sustained yield principles. The natural resources of timber, 

minerals, range, wildlife, outdoor recreation, watershed, and soil 
69 

are managed to best meet the needs of the Nation without impairing the productivity of the land or damaging the environment. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee’s recommendation includes $1,556,329,000 for national forest system operations, an increase of $49,765,000 above 

the request and $46,524,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level. Except where noted, increases above the budget request 

should be used to fund fixed costs. 

The distributions of the Committee’s recommendations are as follows:

Land Management Planning.—The Committee has provided 

$45,518,000 for land management planning, equal to the request. 

Inventory and Monitoring.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $169,695,000 for inventory and monitoring programs, an increase of $1,000,000 above the request. 

Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness.—The Committee has pro- vided $290,117,000 for recreation, heritage and wilderness programs, an increase of $10,000,000 above the request. The Committee directs the Service to use the increase to restore proposed 

reductions to recreation operations activities and to fund ongoing 

travel management planning requirements. 

The Committee believes that the Forest Service must continue to 

show progress toward meeting its travel management regulatory 

requirements, including its requirements to conduct a sciencebased analysis of the roads system, identify unneeded roads, and 

comply with appropriate criteria to designate roads and trails, as 

defined by 36 CFR 212.5 and 212.55. Within 60 days of enactment, 

the Service is directed to provide a report to the Committee outlining the process that it will use, by region, to ensure compliance 

with these requirements, including a timeline for implementation. 

The Committee also believes that management of heritage resources on national forests, including compliance with the National 

Historic Preservation Act, must be a greater priority for the Service. To that end, the Committee is encouraged that the budget request contains a 6 percent increase in funding to better manage 

heritage resources. The Committee directs the Service to provide a 
70 

report no later than September 30, 2010 detailing heritage resource 

program accomplishments and funding allocations for each region 

and each national forest for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. 

Wildlife and Fish Habitat Management.—The Committee has 

provided $142,971,000 for wildlife and fish habitat management 

programs, an increase of $1,500,000 above the request. 

The Committee strongly encourages the Department of Interior 

and the Forest Service to coordinate with local entities and to employ the resources necessary to prevent Quagga mussels and other 

aquatic invasive species from entering the Lake Tahoe ecosystem. 

Grazing Management.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $50,714,000 for grazing management programs, an increase 

of $765,000 above the budget request. 

Forest Products.—The Committee has provided $338,959,000 for 

forest products programs, a general program increase of 

$10,000,000 above the budget request. The Committee concurs with 

the budget request to fund activities related to the Northwest Forest Plan based on the agency’s capacity to fund projects. The Committee directs the Service to use its general program increase to 

implement timber sales and stewardship contracts in regions where 

recently closed and at-risk mills could benefit. The Committee is 

concerned that recent mill closures in forested rural areas have diminished the Service’s ability to undertake hazardous fuels reduction work on national forest lands. Forest products infrastructure 

is an essential tool for restoring the Nation’s forests and combating 

catastrophic fire, and the Forest Service should make every effort 

to sustain this infrastructure where possible. Within the increase 

provided, the Service is also directed to provide an additional 

$1,250,000 to fund timber pipeline development for the Tongass 

National Forest in Alaska, for a total of $2,500,000. 

Vegetation and Watershed Management.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $188,786,000 for vegetation and watershed 

management activities, an increase of $6,500,000 above the budget 

request. Of the increase provided, $1,500,000 is directed to fully 

fund fixed costs and $5,000,000 is directed to expand efforts to fund 

cleanup activities associated with marijuana eradication on national forest lands. 

The Committee is very concerned that the Service is not making 

enough progress toward addressing the backlog of restoration needs 

caused by increased marijuana eradication operations. The Service 

is directed to develop a targeted plan for this funding increase that 

will demonstrate an ‘‘economy of scale’’ approach to clean up several eradication sites at once. The plan should be developed in concert with the Service’s law enforcement staff, other Federal agencies and non-Federal stakeholders. The Service shall report to the 

Committee regarding proposed allocations prior to allocating these 

funds to the field. 

The Committee supports the budget request of $350,000 for leafy 

spurge eradication on the Dakota Prairie Grasslands. 

Minerals and Geology Management.—The Committee has provided $86,650,000 for minerals and geology programs, equal to the 

budget request. 
71 

Land Ownership Management.—The Committee has included 

$94,372,000 for land ownership management programs, equal to 

the budget request. 

Law Enforcement Operations.—The Committee has included 

$145,047,000 for law enforcement operations, an increase of 

$10,000,000 above the request. The increase provided above the request shall be used to expand the Service’s efforts to expand marijuana eradication activities on national forest lands, including defraying aviation and support costs associated with interagency drug 

eradication operations. The Committee expects the Service to allocate this increase to areas with the greatest amounts of drug eradication activity. The Service is directed to maintain funding for forest counterdrug operations at their fiscal year 2009 levels unless 

the Committee is notified in writing of a need to reallocate funds 

based on increased drug activity on other forests. 

Valles Caldera National Preserve.—The Committee recommends 

$3,500,000 for operations of the Valles Caldera National Preserve 

in New Mexico, equal to the request. 

Land Between the Lakes.—The Committee concurs with the 

budget request and provides $8,200,000 to support operations at 

the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. 

Rescission.—The Committee has not agreed to the $10,000,000 

rescission of prior-year National Forest System appropriations balances proposed in the request. 

Other.—The Committee is concerned by reports of employment 

and workplace safety violations related to the employment of foreign guest workers, known as pin ̃ eros, by contractors operating on 

national forest lands. By March 1, 2010, the Service is directed to 

provide a report to the Committee detailing planned and actual 

monitoring, investigation and enforcement activities, including information regarding violations of employment or safety standards, 

for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The Service is also directed to make 

this report available to the general public on its website. 

Bill Language.—The Committee has included language to allow 

the Service to continue to transfer funds to the Bureau of Land 

Management for certain activities related to wild horses and burros 

and cadastral surveys, as requested.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 513,418,000 

The Committee’s recommendation provides $513,418,000 for capital improvement and maintenance programs, a decrease of 

$43,544,000 below the request and an increase of $18,025,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency level. As in previous years, the Committee proposes to offset these funds with an 

$18,000,000 scoring credit related to the Roads and Trails Fund. 

The Committee agrees to the following distribution of funds:

Total, Capital Improvement and Maintenance ................ 556,962,000 513,418,000 ¥43,544,000 

The Committee’s recommendation does not include funding for the administration’s proposed $50,000,000 ‘‘Protecting National 

Forests’’ initiative. Though the Committee recognizes the importance of addressing the Service’s deferred maintenance backlog, it 

also understands that the Service has not yet developed a priority 

list of eligible projects or specific criteria to select future projects. 

Given the lack of a concrete plan for this funding, the Committee 

believes that the Service would be better served investing this increase in other, underfunded operating programs that also protect 

the health and vitality of the national forests. Therefore, the Committee has transferred the $50,000,000 funding increase to other 

critical programs within the National Forest System and Wildland 

Fire Management appropriations. 

The Committee urges the Service to develop specific criteria for 

this major construction initiative, including a proposed priority list, 

and to resubmit the initiative for consideration as part of future 

budget requests. 

Facilities.—The Committee’s recommendation includes 

$135,575,000 for facilities maintenance and construction, an increase of $4,835,000 above the request. Changes to the request include the following: a $595,000 increase 

for the Monongahela National Forest (West Virginia); an increase 

of $1,840,000 to continue construction of a research facility in Hawaii, for a total of $2,500,000; $500,000 to complete construction of 

a work station on the Cherokee National Forest (Tennessee); and 

$1,900,000 to relocate the Northern Great Plains Fire Dispatch 

Center on the Black Hills National Forest (South Dakota). 

Roads.—The Committee has provided $236,521,000 for road maintenance and improvement, an increase of $1,521,000 above the 

request. The increase is provided for road improvements on the 

Monongahela National Forest (West Virginia). 

Trails.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $82,181,000 

for trails maintenance and construction, an increase of $100,000 

above the request. The increase is provided for trail improvements 

on the Reno-to-Tahoe Rim Trail in Nevada. Within funds provided, 

the Service shall continue to fund national scenic and historic trails 

at no less than the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. 

Legacy Roads Initiative.—The Committee has included 

$50,000,000 for the Legacy Roads initiative, equal to the budget request. 

Other.—As noted previously, the Committee has continued bill 

language from prior years regarding the treatment of receipts from 

the Road and Trails Fund.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Wildland Fire Management provides funding for fire management including preparedness and fire suppression operations on 

National Forest System and adjacent lands, and also supports the 

National Fire Plan. The program seeks to protect life, property, and 

natural resources on the 192 million acres of National Forest System lands, as well as on an additional 20 million acres of adjacent 

State and private lands. The program recognizes that wildfire is a 

critical natural process that must be integrated into land and resource management plans and activities on a landscape scale 

across agency boundaries. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee’s recommendation includes $2,586,637,000 for 

wildland fire management programs, an increase of $455,007,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency level and an increase of $66,490,000 above the request. 

Preparedness.—The Committee’s recommendation includes 

$690,000,000 for fire preparedness activities, an increase of 

$15,000,000 above the request. The increase shall be used to fund 

fixed costs and to continue firefighter retention initiatives for highrisk areas initiated by Public Law 110–329. The Committee expects 

that future budget requests will include the resources necessary to 

maintain these important retention initiatives. 

As in prior years, the Service is directed to analyze proposed preparedness resource levels and to adjust resources between preparedness and suppression as necessary to ensure that the Service 

maintains readiness commensurate with fiscal year 2008 levels. 

The Service is directed to notify the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations in writing prior to the decision to shift resources 

between the two programs, and is further directed to re-evaluate 

future budget requests to ensure that preparedness requests actually reflect expected costs. 

Fire Suppression.—The Committee has fully funded the 10-year 

fire suppression average of $1,128,505,000, as requested. The Committee has also agreed to provide an additional $282,000,000 in 

contingency fire appropriations as proposed by the request. However, the Committee believes that providing these funds through a 

separate appropriations account, as requested by the administration, would create an unnecessary administrative burden. Therefore, the Committee has merged these funds with the Wildland 

Fire Management account. These funds should only be made available once all other funds available for fire suppression activities 

have been exhausted. 

Other Operations.—The Committee recommends $486,132,000 for 

other fire operations programs, an increase of $51,490,000 above 

the request. The Committee has provided $350,285,000 for hazardous fuels reduction activities, an increase of $35,000,000 above the request 

and $22,199,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted, non-emergency 

level. 

Of the increase provided, the Committee directs the Service to use $30,000,000 to restore and expand hazardous fuels reduction 
76 

activities. The Committee expects the Service to use $10,000,000 of 

this increase to begin implementation of projects authorized by the 

Forest Landscape Restoration Act (Public Law 111–11). The Service is directed to provide a report to the Committee by March 1, 

2010 that details the projects selected for implementation, estimated project costs, and the criteria used for their selection. The 

remaining $20,000,000 shall be used to support fuels reduction and 

restoration activities on lands at the highest risk of catastrophic 

wildfire due to fuel loads and population density. When selecting 

projects, the Service is also urged to give priority to projects that 

foster community collaboration and support local forest products or 

biomass utilization infrastructure. 

The Committee’s recommendation provides an additional $5,000,000 increase above the request for biomass utilization 

grants, for a total of $10,000,000. Within fuels reduction programs, 

the Committee supports the budget request of $2,000,000 for the 

Southwest Ecological Research Institutes, including $1,500,000 for 

the institute located at Northern Arizona University. The Committee’s recommendation includes $11,500,000 for rehabilitation activities, an increase of $2,500,000 above the request 

and equal to the enacted level. The Committee supports the budget 

request of $23,917,000 for fire plan research and development programs and $8,000,000 for joint fire science activities conducted 

with the Department of the Interior. The Committee recommendation also provides $17,252,000 for forest health programs on Federal lands, an increase of $2,812,000 

above the request. Cooperative forest health programs are funded 

at $9,928,000, an increase of $2,928,000 above the request. These 

increases restore both programs to their fiscal year 2009 enacted 

levels. 

The Committee recommends $56,250,000 for State fire assistance 

programs, an increase of $6,250,000 above the request, with the increase allocated as follows: 

—$4,000,000 to increase the budget request for the South Lake 

Tahoe Public Utility District to fund water system improvements by local utility districts to enhance firefighting capability, for a total of $5,000,000; 

—$2,000,000 to increase the budget request for fire risk reduction activities by California Fire Safe Council chapters, including activities in the Lake Tahoe Basin, for a total of 

$5,000,000; and 

—$250,000 for the City of Reno for protection of the city’s 

wildland-urban interface. 

The Committee recommends $9,000,000 for volunteer fire assistance programs, an increase of $2,000,000 above the request and 

equal to the enacted level. 

Quincy Library Group [QLG].—The Committee is very concerned 

that the Service has been unable to meet the annual fuels reduction treatment goals required by the Herger-Feinstein Quincy Library Group Act, which prescribes 40,000 to 60,000 acres of treatments each year for the Plumas and Lassen National Forests and 

the Sierraville Ranger District of the Tahoe National Forest. These 

treatments are essential to minimize the risk of stand-replacing 

wildfires which the area has suffered repeatedly, including the 
77 

2007 Moonlight Fire, which threatened communities and burned 

65,000 acres on the Plumas National Forest. 

The Committee is aware that the Service has preliminary treatment targets for the QLG area of approximately 18,000 acres in fiscal year 2009, including 3,000 acres on the Plumas National Forest, 

and approximately 21,000 acres in fiscal year 2010. The Committee 

is also aware that additional acre targets for future projects may 

be agreed upon by stakeholders. The Committee expects the Service to meet or exceed these preliminary targets and directs the 

Service to provide a report to the Committee within 60 days of enactment detailing the actual number of acres treated in fiscal year 

2009 and the updated number of acres planned for treatment in fiscal year 2010, including the number of additional acres agreed to 

as part of the collaborative process. 

Aviation Strategy.—The Committee is concerned that the Service’s fleet of P–2V and P–3 firefighting air tankers continues to age 

and notes that the number of air tankers currently available to the 

Service—18—is a 60 percent reduction compared to the number of 

aircraft available in 2002. With many of the Service’s fleet of air 

tankers nearing the end of their available flight hours, it is imperative that the Service complete its longstanding work to develop a 

comprehensive aviation strategy, including recommendations for 

the replacement for its air tanker fleet. The Committee directs the 

Service to complete its work on the aviation strategy and provide 

a copy, including detailed cost estimates relating to its recommendations, to the Committee within 60 days of enactment. 

Bill Language.—The Committee supports the budget request for 

the Community Forest Restoration Act and has retained language 

to allow the program to use appropriate State and private forestry 

authorities as necessary. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The Committee has continued many of the same administrative 

provisions included in prior year appropriations acts. 

The Committee has modified language authorizing the Secretary 

to transfer funds from other program accounts to fund wildfire suppression and related activities if the Secretary determines that all 

available fire suppression funds will be obligated within 30 days. 

The Committee directs the Service to take its first transfers from 

unobligated balances, if available, from the Knutsen-Vandenberg 

Trust Fund and other permanent and trust fund accounts, and to 

exhaust available balances, as appropriate, from permanent and 

trust fund accounts before the Service transfers funds from other 

discretionary accounts. 

The Committee has modified language relating to limitations on 

assessments from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to authorize 

the assessment of up to $15,500,000 for the implementation of a 

proposed Department-wide financial system. 

The Committee’s recommendation includes amounts requested by 

the administration to provide up to $2,000,000 for the National 

Forest Foundation and $2,650,000 for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for partnership activities that benefit national for-
78 

ests. These funds are subject to a one-to-one matching requirement. 

The Committee has agreed to limit amounts available to the National Forest Foundation for administrative purposes, consistent 

with the budget request. 

The recommendation does not include proposed limitations to 

rural community technical assistance, as proposed in the request. 

The Committee has agreed to increase the Service’s cap on deferred maintenance assessments to $55,000,000 and has included 

requested technical changes. The Committee has also agreed to extend authorities concerning the availability of funds for educational 

benefits for dependents of agency personnel serving in Puerto Rico, 

as requested. 

Language has been continued authorizing up to $5,000,000 for 

youth conservation and service corps projects, including up to 

$2,500,000 for fuels and fire risk reduction projects authorized by 

the Public Lands Corps Healthy Forest Restoration Act of 2005 

(Public Law 109–154). 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 

INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE

The Indian Health Service [IHS] is the agency within the Department of Health and Human Services that has responsibility for 

providing Federal health services to approximately 1.9 million 

American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health 

services to tribes grew out of the special relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes that was established in 

1787, based on Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and given 

form and substance by numerous treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, and Executive orders that followed. Most notable among 

these is the Snyder Act of 1921, which provides the basic authority 

for most Indian health services provided by the Federal Government to Native Americans and Alaska Natives. 

IHS services are provided directly and through tribally contracted and operated health programs in over 600 healthcare facilities located throughout the United States, primarily in rural and 

isolated areas. Health care is also purchased from more than 9,000 

private providers annually. The Federal system consists of 31 hospitals, 50 health centers, and 31 health stations. In addition, 34 

urban Indian health projects provide a variety of health and referral services. 

Through Public Law 93–638, the Indian Self-Determination and 

Education Act, as amended, American Indian tribes and Alaska 

Native corporations contract and compact to administer more than 

one half of all IHS resources, including 15 hospitals, 254 health 

centers, 112 health stations, and 166 Alaska village clinics.

Within the amount provided for contract health services, 

$48,000,000 is included for the Catastrophic Health Emergency 

Fund, an increase of $17,000,000 above the current year enacted 

level. New tribes funding is based on projections for the Mashpee 

Wampanoag Tribe and the Tuscarora Tribe. The Urban Indian 

Health program is proposed to be funded at $38,139,000 in fiscal 

year 2010, a 5 percent increase above the current year enacted 

level. Within the Indian Health Professions activity, the Committee 

notes that funds are continued for the Recruitment/Retention of 

American Indians into Nursing program; the Indians into Psychology program; and the Indians into Medicine program. The 

Committee encourages the Service to continue to provide such technical assistance as may be necessary for the newly formed Indian 

Health Board of Nevada to strengthen and expand its ability to advocate on behalf of Nevada’s 27 Indian tribes and communities. 

Language has been included in the bill in title IV, general provisions, regarding the delivery of healthcare services in Alaska.

health center; and the San Carlos, Arizona health center. In the 

fiscal year 2009 bill, the Service was instructed to prepare a new 

solicitation for both the Joint Venture Construction Program and 

the Small Ambulatory Grants Program. The Committee understands that the initial phase of this process is underway with a request to tribal leaders to inform the Service of their intent to apply 

for either program by July 1, 2009.

Interagency Action Plan on Appalachian Surface Coal Mining.— On June 11, 2009, the Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Army Corps of Engineers announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding designed 

to address the impacts of surface coal mining in the Appalachian 

region of the United States. As proposed, these Federal agencies 

will implement an Interagency Action Plan that will coordinate the 

development of both short-term and long-term actions intended to 

‘‘diversify and strengthen the Appalachian regional economy and 

promote the health and welfare of Appalachian communities.’’ The 

Plan also calls for a ‘‘special focus on stimulating clean enterprise 

and green jobs development, encouraging better coordination 

among existing Federal efforts, and supporting innovative new 

ideas and initiatives.’’ The Committee is encouraged that the Plan 

calls for public meetings throughout Appalachia that will garner 

‘‘robust public comment’’ on a proposal that may very well have 

wide ranging and unforeseen consequences for both the economic 

and social environments of the communities involved. However, the 

Committee also believes it is essential for Members of Congress to 

fully understand the various elements of the Plan. To that end, the 

Committee directs the Council on Environmental Quality to begin 

a series of congressional briefings, beginning no later than 60 days 

after enactment of this act and occurring no less than every 6 

months thereafter, which will provide pertinent and meaningful information on how the administration intends to achieve its goals. 
82 

These briefings should include, at minimum, detailed information 

on the proposed actions to be taken, what alternatives may exist 

to the proposed actions, anticipated timelines for implementation of 

these actions, the estimated economic costs involved in implementing the actions, and updates on the status and outcomes of the 

scheduled public meetings. The Committee would appreciate the 

Council ensuring the participation of all relevant executive agencies, including the Appalachian Regional Commission, in these 

briefings.

out of the BIA in 1988 to become a federally chartered 4-year college governed by a board of trustees appointed by the President of 

the United States and confirmed by the Senate. Its mission is to 

serve as the national center of research, training, language and 

scholarship for Native Americans and Alaska Natives through the 

dedicated study, creative application, preservation, and care of Native cultures and arts. In addition to its academic programs, IAIA 

houses the National Collection of Contemporary Indian Art and 

carries the designation as the National Repository for Native Languages. IAIA’s operations are funded by direct Federal support and 

a diversified private sector approach to foundations, corporations, 

tribes, and individual donors. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $8,300,000 for the Institute of 

American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development, an increase of $400,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

Congress established the Smithsonian Institution in 1846 to administer a large bequest left to the United States by James 

Smithson, an English scientist, for the purpose of establishing in 

Washington, DC, an institution ‘‘. . . for the increase and diffusion 

of knowledge among men.’’ The act establishing the Smithsonian 

provided for the administration of the trust, independent of the 

Government itself, by a Board of Regents and a Secretary, who 

were given broad discretion in the use of these funds. The board 

was to be composed of both private citizens and members of all 

three branches of the Federal Government in order to ensure ‘‘the 

wise and faithful use’’ of the Institution’s funds. The trust funds 

were permanently loaned to the U.S. Treasury to be maintained in 

a separate account, with the interest from that money used for the 
84 

operation of the Institution. Construction of the Smithsonian Castle was completed in 1855 and collections that the Government had 

accepted on behalf of the Institution were moved into the building. 

Today, the Smithsonian Institution is the world’s largest museum 

and research complex, housing approximately 144 million objects 

and specimens, and receiving an estimated 25 million visitors annually. 

Its facilities include 19 museums and galleries, including the National Zoo, 10 science centers, and other facilities—most located in 

or near Washington, DC, with others in Massachusetts, New York, 

Florida, Arizona, Hawaii, and the Republic of Panama. The 

Smithsonian’s growth will continue for the foreseeable future with 

the design and construction of a National Museum of African 

American History and Culture, authorized by Congress in 2003 and 

scheduled to open to the public in 2015.

totaling $14,750,000 are included to address additional needs for 

facilities services, collections care, scientific research, information 

technology and governance support. The Committee expects the 

Smithsonian to continue to submit quarterly reports of funding redirections that are below the reprogramming threshold. 

FACILITIES CAPITAL

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $123,000,000 

Emergency supplementals, 2009 .......................................................... 25,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 125,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 140,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 125,000,000 

The Committee recommends $125,000,000 for the Smithsonian 

Institution’s facilities capital program, an increase of $2,000,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 non-emergency funding level and the 

same amount as the budget request. Of this total $89,300,000 is 

provided for revitalization efforts and $35,700,000 is provided for 

facilities planning and design. Projects to be addressed with these 

funds in fiscal year 2010 include: $20,000,000 for design of the National Museum of African American History and Culture; 

$12,600,000 for replacement of the roof at the Arts and Industries 

Building; $16,300,000 for continued revitalization of the National 

Museum of Natural History; and $16,000,000 for major repairs and 

renewal of facilities at the National Zoological Park.

LEGACY FUND

(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

House allowance .................................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 30,000,000 

Rescission of prior year funds ............................................................... ¥29,766,000 

The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for the Legacy Fund in 

fiscal year 2010. The administration’s budget request did not propose to include an appropriation for this account. The Committee 

has included language in the bill to target the Legacy Fund specifically to the development of a public-private partnership that will 

facilitate the reopening of the Arts and Industries Building. The 

current 1:1 private matching requirement has been expanded to include major in-kind donations that contribute to the redesign and 

purpose of the new building, as well as privately funded endowments intended for the care and refurbishment of the permanent 

exhibits therein. The Committee has made the foregoing adjustments in consultation with the Smithsonian Institution and with 

the understanding that these changes will better support the Institution’s private fundraising efforts. The Committee has rescinded a 

total unobligated balance of $29,766,000 from Legacy Fund appropriations for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and reappropriated these 

dollars under the revised guidelines. 

NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART

The National Gallery of Art was created in 1937 by a joint resolution of Congress accepting Andrew W. Mellon’s gift to the Nation 

of his art collection. The generosity of the Mellon family also provided the funds to construct the Gallery’s two landmark buildings, 

the West Building, designed by Alexander Pope and completed in 

1941, and the East Building, designed by I.M. Pei and completed 

in 1978. In 1999, an outdoor sculpture garden was created with 

funding from the Cafritz Foundation. Today, these two buildings 

and the Sculpture Garden form a museum complex that houses one 

of the world’s premier art collections. Since the Gallery’s founding, 

Federal funds have been appropriated to ensure the operation, 

maintenance, protection, and care of its collection. Private contributions are used by the Gallery for art acquisition and conservation, 

scholarly and scientific research, exhibitions, and educational outreach programs. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $105,388,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 108,986,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 110,746,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 110,746,000 

The Committee recommends $110,746,000 for salaries and expenses of the National Gallery of Art, an increase of $5,358,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $1,760,000 above the 

budget request. The Committee does not agree with the administration’s proposal to reduce special exhibitions funding by 

$1,760,000 and has restored that amount to the ‘‘Salaries and Ex-
86 

penses’’ account. These funds are used for exhibit installation and 

supplies, shipping contracts, security and other contract services 

that are required for mounting successful temporary exhibitions at 

the Gallery. The Committee sees no reason why these activities 

would not be considered a part of the Federal Government’s commitment to funding the operations of the Gallery. The table at the 

back of this report displays the Committee’s proposed distribution 

of funds among the Gallery’s various activities. 

REPAIR, RESTORATION, AND RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $17,368,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 56,259,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 56,259,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 54,499,000 

The Committee recommends $54,499,000 for the repair, restoration, and renovation of facilities at the National Gallery of Art, an 

increase of $37,131,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level 

and a decrease of $1,760,000 below the budget request. 

The significant increase above the current year enacted level is 

due to the immediate need to repair the East Building’s stone facade. This project, in total, is estimated to cost $85,000,000 and 

will require the removal and reinstallation of all 16,200 marble 

panels. Language is included in the bill allowing for the expenditure of up to $40,000,000 for this project in the coming fiscal year 

and authority has been provided for the issuance of a single procurement for the full scope of the project. 

JOHN F. KENNEDY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

Originally established in 1958 as the National Cultural Center, 

an independently administered bureau of the Smithsonian Institution, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was designated as a living memorial to President Kennedy in 1964. The 

Kennedy Center building was constructed with a combination of 

private contributions, Federal matching funds and long-term revenue bonds held by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Since 

1972, Congress has provided funds for the operations and repair of 

the presidential monument, initially through the National Park 

Service and since 1995 to the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. 

Approximately 87 percent of the Center’s total annual operating 

budget is derived from non-appropriated funds such as ticket sales, 

auxiliary income, investment income and private contributions to 

support performing arts programming and administrative activities. 

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $21,300,000

maintenance of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing 

Arts, an increase of $1,200,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted 

level and the same amount as the budget request. Additional fund-
87 

ing is provided to assist the Kennedy Center in meeting its fixed 

cost increases for pay, benefits, utilities and facilities maintenance 

contracts. 

CAPITAL REPAIR AND RESTORATION

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $15,064,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 10,225,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars is the living national memorial to President Wilson established by Congress 

in 1968 and headquartered in Washington, DC. Its mission is to 

commemorate the ideals and concerns of the former president by 

providing a link between the world of ideas and the world of policy; 

and by fostering research, study, discussion, and collaboration 

among a full spectrum of individuals concerned with policy and 

scholarship in national and world affairs. The Woodrow Wilson 

Center is a nonpartisan institution that is supported by a combination of public and private funds. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $10,225,000 for salaries and expenses of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, 

an increase of $225,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level 

and the same amount as the budget request. The additional 

amount is provided to the Center to address fixed cost increases 

and maintain key programs at their current levels. 

NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS

Established in 1965 as an independent agency of the Federal 

Government, the National Endowment for the Arts [NEA] is the official arts organization of the United States Government. The Endowment is the largest annual funder of the arts in the United 

States, helping to create regional theater, opera, ballet, symphony 

orchestras, museums and other arts organizations that Americans 

now enjoy. Since its founding, the National Endowment for the 

Arts has awarded more than 120,000 grants that have brought the 

arts to Americans in communities both large and small. The NEA, 
88 

through its competitive, peer-reviewed grants process, uses the majority of its annual operating funds to award grants to non-profit 

organizations for arts education, arts outreach, artistic excellence 

and partnership agreements. In addition to those activities, State 

and jurisdictional arts agencies are awarded 40 percent of the Endowment’s funds. 

GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 161,315,000 

The Committee recommends $161,315,000 for the National Endowment for the Arts, an increase of $6,315,000 above the fiscal 

year 2009 non-emergency funding level and the same amount as 

the budget request. The Committee has agreed with the proposal 

to reinstate four seats on the National Council on the Arts and has 

included language in title IV, general provisions, of the bill to effect 

that change. The table at the back of the report displays the distribution of funds among the agency’s various activities. 

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES

The National Endowment for the Humanities [NEH] was established by the 1965 National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act as an independent Federal agency of the United States 

Government dedicated to supporting research, education, preservation, and public programs in the humanities. Today, it is the largest funder of humanities programs in the Nation. NEH’s longstanding tradition of a peer-reviewed competitive grant process is 

designed to ensure that the most meritorious projects are funded. 

Typically, NEH grants are used to support cultural institutions, 

such as museums, archives, libraries, colleges, universities, public 

television and radio, and individual scholars. The NEH, through its 

State-Federal partnership, also provides grants to State humanities 

councils in all 50 States and the 6 territories.

The Committee recommends $161,315,000 for grants and administration of the National Endowment for the Humanities, an increase of $6,315,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and 

the same amount as the budget request. Administration of the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program is continued 

through the Commission of Fine Arts rather than transferred to 

the National Endowment for the Humanities, as proposed in the 

budget request. The table at the back of the report displays the distribution of funds among the Endowment’s various activities. 
89 

COMMISSION OF FINE ARTS

The Commission of Fine Arts was established in 1910 to fill the 

need for a permanent agency whose members would be qualified to 

make available to the Government expert opinion on questions of 

art and architecture. The Commission’s mission, as design proposals are brought before it, is to safeguard and improve the appearance and symbolic significance of the city as a capital. The 

Commission provides knowledgeable advice on matters pertaining 

to architecture, landscape architecture, sculpture, painting, and the 

decorative arts to all branches and departments of the Federal and 

District of Columbia governments when such matters affect the National Capital. The Commission also must approve of the site and 

design of all commemorative works and memorials erected in the 

District. The Commission advises on the design of circulating and 

commemorative coinage and must approve the siting and design for 

national memorials, both in the United States and on foreign soil, 

in accordance with the American Battle Monuments Act and the 

Commemorative Works Act. The Commission also administers the 

National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program, which was 

created by Congress to assist nonprofit cultural entities in Washington, DC. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $2,234,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 2,294,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 2,294,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,294,000 

The Committee recommends $2,294,000 for the Commission of 

Fine Arts, an increase of $60,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same amount as the budget request. Additional 

funds are provided to meet the uncontrollable cost increases of pay, 

benefits, and other escalating operational expenses. In agreement 

with the request, the Committee has included language in the bill 

providing the Commission with the authority to accept material 

gifts pertaining to the history and design of the national capital for 

purposes of artistic display, study and education. 

NATIONAL CAPITAL ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS

The National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program was established by Public Law 99–190 to provide grants for general operating support to District of Columbia nonprofit arts and other cultural organizations. In fiscal year 1988, administrative responsibility for the program was transferred from the National Endowment for the Humanities to the Commission of Fine Arts. Currently, this program helps support 24 nationally renowned organizations in the Nation’s Capital by providing funding for operating 

expenses, jobs, exhibits, and performances that might not have 

been possible otherwise.

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $9,500,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 1 10,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 10,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 9,500,000 

1Proposed to be funded through the NEH in the administration’s fiscal year 2010 budget request. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $9,500,000 for the National Capital 

Arts and Cultural Affairs program, a decrease of $500,000 from the 

budget request and the same amount as the current year enacted 

level. The Committee does not support the administration’s proposal to return the administrative functions of this program to the 

National Endowment for the Humanities, where it was formerly 

housed, nor does it support the proposed changes in the structure 

of the program. The economic downturn of the past year has left 

many nonprofit arts and cultural institutions struggling financially. 

In the Committee’s view, there is no compelling reason at this time 

to consider major changes to the program that might add to the fiscal uncertainty faced by these organizations. 

ADVISORY COUNCIL ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $5,948,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 5,908,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 5,908,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 5,908,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 established the 

Advisory Council on Historic Preservation as an independent Federal agency. The Council’s mission is to promote the preservation, 

enhancement, and productive use of our Nation’s historic resources, 

and advise the President and Congress on national historic preservation policy. It also provides a forum for discussion of Federal activities, programs, and policies that affect historic properties. One 

of the principal responsibilities of the Council is to implement Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, which requires 

that the Council be given an opportunity to comment on the impacts of projects or actions undertaken by other Federal agencies 

on sites or structures eligible for inclusion in the National Register 

of Historic Places. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $5,908,000 for the Advisory Council 

on Historic Preservation, which is an increase of $410,000 over the 

fiscal year 2009 enacted level, and the same as the budget request.

NATIONAL CAPITAL PLANNING COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $8,328,000

House allowance .................................................................................... 8,507,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 8,507,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The National Capital Planning Commission [NCPC] was established in 1924 as a park planning agency. Two years later, the 

Agency’s role was expanded to included comprehensive planning. 

The National Capital Planning Act of 1952 designated the NCPC 

as the central planning agency for the Federal Government in the 

National Capital Region. Major functions and responsibilities include comprehensive planning for the Nation’s Capital; an annual 

assessment of all proposed Federal capital improvements in the national capital region; the review of proposed Federal development 

projects; and representation of the Federal interest in local and regional planning initiatives. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $8,507,000 for salaries and expenses 

of the National Capital Planning Commission, an increase of 

$179,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same 

amount as the budget request. Additional funds are provided to assist the Commission in meeting the uncontrollable cost increases 

associated with salaries, benefits, and operations. 

UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $47,260,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 48,551,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 48,551,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 49,122,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was created by 

Congress in 1980 through Public Law 96–388 with the mandate to 

operate and maintain a permanent living memorial museum to the 

victims of the Holocaust; provide appropriate ways for the Nation 

to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust through the annual 

national civic observances known as the Days of Remembrance; 

and carry out the recommendations of the President’s Commission 

on the Holocaust. The building that houses the museum was constructed with private funds and opened to the public in 1993. Since 

that time, the museum has attracted four to five times the number 

of expected visitors and has been highly successful in its fundraising efforts. Private contributions comprise nearly 50 percent of 

the museum’s annual operating budget. 
92 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $49,122,000 for the U.S. Holocaust 

Memorial Museum, an increase of $1,862,000 above the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level and $571,000 above the budget request. The additional amount is provided to restore exhibition development 

funds to the current year enacted level of $1,264,000. The Committee notes that Federal support for this activity has remained at 

this same level for more than a decade, while the costs of labor and 

building materials have escalated considerably. The Committee 

does not agree to a proposed reduction that would further diminish 

the museum’s purchasing power. 

Following the recent tragic shooting at the Holocaust Museum, 

immediate action has been taken by officials to implement additional security measures. Support beyond that identified in the current budget request will be required, however, to sustain these 

changes in fiscal year 2010. In response to this need, the Committee has included an amount of $550,000 above the budget request to fund the costs associated with an increase in the museum’s guard force, as well as the purchase additional equipment. 

PRESIDIO TRUST

PRESIDIO TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2009 ............................................................................. $17,450,000 

Budget estimate, 2010 ........................................................................... 17,230,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 23,200,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 17,230,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Upon deciding that the U.S. Army would end its 148-year presence at the Presidio, Congress created the Presidio Trust as part 

of the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996. 

The Trust’s mission is to preserve and enhance the natural, cultural, scenic, and recreational resources of the Presidio for public 

use in perpetuity, and to achieve long-term financial sustainability 

through rental, lease, and other revenues derived from the use of 

Presidio buildings and spaces. The Trust manages the interior 80 

percent of Presidio lands (known as Area B), including most buildings and infrastructure. The National Park Service manages coastal areas (known as Area A) as part of the Golden Gate National 

Recreation Area. Appropriations for the Trust are expected to decline from year to year, and to cease entirely at or before the end 

of fiscal year 2012. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $17,230,000 for the Presidio Trust, 

a decrease of $220,000 from the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and 

the same as the budget request.

(94) 

TITLE IV 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

The Committee has recommended inclusion of several general 

provisions in the bill including the following: 

SEC. 401. Provides that contracts which provide consulting services be a matter of public record and available for public review, 

except where otherwise provided by law. 

SEC. 402. Provides that appropriations available in the bill shall 

not be used to produce literature or otherwise promote public support of a legislative proposal on which legislative action is not complete. The provision has been modified to make clear that it does 

not restrict authorized communications with Congress. 

SEC. 403. Provides that appropriations made available in this bill 

cannot be used to provide a cook, chauffeur, or other personal servants. 

SEC. 404. Retains language carried in prior years with regard to 

assessments for Government-wide, departmental, agency, or bureau functions. 

SEC. 405. Limits the actions of the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management with regard to the sale of giant sequoia 

trees to a manner consistent with such sales as were conducted in 

fiscal year 2008. 

SEC. 406. Retains mining patent moratorium carried in previous 

years. 

SEC. 407. Continues a provision regarding the payment of contract support costs. 

SEC. 408. Continues a provision providing that the Secretary of 

Agriculture shall not be considered in violation of certain provisions of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning 

Act solely because more than 15 years have passed without revision of a forest plan, provided that the Secretary is working in good 

faith to complete the plan revision within available funds. 

SEC. 409. Prohibits oil, natural gas, and mining related activities 

within current national monument boundaries, except where such 

activities are allowed under the presidential proclamation establishing the monument. 

SEC. 410. Provides the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary 

of the Interior the authority to enter into reciprocal agreements 

with foreign nations concerning the personal liability of firefighters. 

SEC. 411. Allows the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary 

of the Interior to consider local contractors when awarding contracts for certain activities on public lands. 

SEC. 412. Continues language prohibiting Federal funds being 

spent for competitive sourcing and related activities at the Forest 

Service. 
95 

SEC. 413. Restricts funding appropriated for acquisition of land 

or interests in land from being used for declarations of taking or 

complaints in condemnation. 

SEC. 414. Provides $8,000,000 to continue environmental remediation activities at the Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco, California and authorizes the transfer of funds from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Department of the Navy. 

SEC. 415. Extends certain authorities allowing the Forest Service 

and Bureau of Land Management to renew grazing permits or 

leases. 

SEC. 416. Continues a long standing requirement in Alaska that 

IHS funds be made available only to regional Alaska Native health 

organizations and those Native entities with contracts or compacts 

with the Service entered into prior to May 1, 2006, in order to 

make the most cost effective use possible of scarce IHS funds for 

provision of health services. 

SEC. 417. Addresses timber sales involving Alaska western red 

cedar. Mills which process western red cedar in the Pacific Northwest have an insufficient supply of western red cedar, and the national forest in southeast Alaska sometimes has a surplus. This 

provision continues a program by which Alaska’s surplus western 

red cedar is made available preferentially to U.S. domestic mills 

outside Alaska, prior to export abroad. 

SEC. 418. Colorado Cooperative Conservation Authority. Extends 

the ability of the State of Colorado to work cooperatively on Forest 

Service lands until fiscal year 2011.

the Committee report accompanying this act. 
(96) 

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI OF THE 

STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE 

Rule XVI, paragraph 7 requires that every report on a general 

appropriation bill filed by the Committee must identify each recommended amendment which proposes an item of appropriation 

which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing law, 

a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously passed by

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.
