shall make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by the 

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (with 

match to be determined by the NRC based on affordability and 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
76 

the economic conditions of an area; a match also may be waived 

by the NRC based on the aforementioned conditions) to provide 

mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance primarily to States 

and areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures to help 

eliminate the default and foreclosure of mortgages of owner-occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such foreclosure. 

Other than areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures, 

grants may also be provided to approved counseling intermediaries based on a geographic analysis of the Nation by the 

NRC which determines where there is a prevalence of mortgages 

that are risky and likely to fail, including any trends for mortgages that are likely to default and face foreclosure. A State 

Housing Finance Agency may also be eligible where the State 

Housing Finance Agency meets all the requirements under this 

paragraph. A HUD-approved counseling intermediary shall 

meet certain mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance counseling requirements, as determined by the NRC, and shall be 

approved by HUD or the NRC as meeting these requirements. 

(2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only be 

made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes with 

mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mortgages 

shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners 

will be provided such assistance that shall consist of activities 

that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result in the longterm affordability of the mortgage retained pursuant to such activity or another positive outcome for the homeowner. No funds 

made available under this paragraph may be provided directly 

to lenders or homeowners to discharge outstanding mortgage 

balances or for any other direct debt reduction payments. 

(3) The use of Mortgage Foreclosure Mitigation Assistance 

by approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing Finance Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the borrower’s financial situation, an evaluation of the current value 

of the property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling regarding the assumption of the mortgage by another non-Federal 

party, counseling regarding the possible purchase of the mortgage by a non-Federal third party, counseling and advice of all 

likely restructuring and refinancing strategies or the approval 

of a work-out strategy by all interested parties. 

(4) NRC may provide up to 15 percent of the total funds 

under this paragraph to its own charter members with expertise 

in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a certification by 

the NRC that the procedures for selection do not consist of any 

procedures or activities that could be construed as an unacceptable conflict of interest or have the appearance of impropriety. 

(5) HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing 

Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall 

have demonstrated experience in successfully working with financial institutions as well as borrowers facing default, delinquency and foreclosure as well as documented counseling capacity, outreach capacity, past successful performance and positive 

outcomes with documented counseling plans (including post 

mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan workout 

agreements and loan modification agreements. NRC may use 

other criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas.

(6) Of the total amount made available under this para- graph, up to $3,000,000 may be made available to build the 

mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity 

of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses 

with HUD-approved counseling intermediaries and their partners, except that private financial institutions that participate 

in NRC training shall pay market rates for such training. 

(7) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up to 4 percent may be used for associated administrative expenses for the NRC to carry out activities provided under 

this section. 

(8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance grants may 

include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, as 

determined by the NRC.

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the 

Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee on its efforts to mitigate mortgage default.

in section 505 of this Act. 

SEC. 516. (a) Tracing studies conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are released without adequate disclaimers regarding the limitations of the data. 

(b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 

shall include in all such data releases, language similar to the following that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to 

draw broad conclusions about firearms-related crime: 

(1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement 

authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale 

and possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies 

may request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons 

are not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all 

firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced 

are used in crime. 

(2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for purposes of determining which types, makes, or models of firearms 

are used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute a random sample and should not be considered representative of the larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally 

traced to the first retail seller, and sources reported for firearms 

traced do not necessarily represent the sources or methods by 

which firearms in general are acquired for use in crime. 

SEC. 517. (a) The Inspectors General of the Department of Commerce, the Department of Justice, the National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the

funds are appropriated by this Act, and shall submit reports to Congress on the progress of such audits, which may include preliminary 

findings and a description of areas of particular interest, within 180 

days after initiating such an audit and every 180 days thereafter 

until any such audit is completed. 

(b) Within 60 days after the date on which an audit described 

in subsection (a) by an Inspector General is completed, the Secretary, Attorney General, Administrator, Director, or President, as 

appropriate, shall make the results of the audit available to the 

public on the Internet website maintained by the Department, Administration, Foundation, or Corporation, respectively. The results 

shall be made available in redacted form to exclude— 

(1) any matter described in section 552(b) of title 5, United 

States Code; and 

(2) sensitive personal information for any individual, the 

public access to which could be used to commit identity theft or 

for other inappropriate or unlawful purposes. 

(c) A grant or contract funded by amounts appropriated by this 

Act may not be used for the purpose of defraying the costs of a banquet or conference that is not directly and programmatically related 

to the purpose for which the grant or contract was awarded, such 

as a banquet or conference held in connection with planning, training, assessment, review, or other routine purposes related to a 

project funded by the grant or contract.

administrative expenses or to compensate an officer or employee of 

the United States in connection with requiring an export license for 

the export to Canada of components, parts, accessories or attachments for firearms listed in Category I, section 121.1 of title 22, 

Code of Federal Regulations (International Trafficking in Arms 

Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it existed on April 1, 2005) with 

a total value not exceeding $500 wholesale in any transaction, provided that the conditions of subsection (b) of this section are met by 

the exporting party for such articles.

States, or temporary import of Canadian-origin items from Canada 

for end use in the United States or return to Canada for a Canadian citizen. 

(d) The President may require export licenses under this section 

on a temporary basis if the President determines, upon publication 

first in the Federal Register, that the Government of Canada has 

implemented or maintained inadequate import controls for the articles specified in subsection (a), such that a significant diversion of 

such articles has and continues to take place for use in international terrorism or in the escalation of a conflict in another nation. The President shall terminate the requirements of a license 

when reasons for the temporary requirements have ceased. 

SEC. 521. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving 

appropriated funds under this Act or any other Act shall obligate 

or expend in any way such funds to pay administrative expenses or 

the compensation of any officer or employee of the United States to 

deny any application submitted pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B)

cost has increased by 10 percent, the program manager shall immediately inform the Secretary, Administrator, or Director. The Secretary, Administrator, or Director shall notify the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations within 30 days in writing of such increase, and shall include in such notice: the date on which such determination was made; a statement of the reasons for such increases; the action taken and proposed to be taken to control future 

cost growth of the project; changes made in the performance or

whether or not the covered dealership should be added to the dealer 

network of the covered manufacturer. The factors considered by the

the ‘‘transparency paper’’ included in the fiscal year 2010 budget 

justification and include the updated version in the budget justification for fiscal year 2011. 

MINORITY BUSINESS RESOURCE CENTER PROGRAM

The conference agreement provides a total appropriation of 

$923,000 as proposed by the Senate for the minority business center program, instead of $912,000 as proposed by the House. Within 

the funds provided $353,000 is for the costs of guaranteed loans for 

short-term working capital as proposed by the Senate, instead of 

$342,000 as proposed by the House. In addition, $570,000 is provided for administrative expenses as proposed by the House and 

Senate. The bill limits loans made under this program to 

$18,367,000 as proposed by the House and Senate.

PAYMENTS TO AIR CARRIERS

(AIRPORT AND AIRWAY TRUST FUND)

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $150,000,000 for payments to air carriers instead of $125,000,000 as proposed by the House 

and the Senate. In addition to these funds, the program will receive $50,000,000 in mandatory spending pursuant to the Federal 

Aviation Authorization Act of 1996. The funding provided in the 

conference agreement is necessary to support air service in all eligible communities. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF

TRANSPORTATION

Section 101 prohibits funds in this Act available to the Department of Transportation from being obligated for the Office of the 

Secretary of Transportation to approve assessments or reimbursable agreements pertaining to funds appropriated to the modal administrations in this Act, except for activities underway on the date 

of enactment of this Act, unless such assessments or agreements 

have completed the normal reprogramming process for Congressional notification. 

Section 102 prohibits funds from being obligated or expended 

to establish or implement a program where essential air service 

communities are required to assume subsidy costs commonly referred to as local participation. 

Section 103 allows the Secretary of Transportation or his designee to engage with states to consider proposals related to the reduction of motorcycle fatalities. 

Section 104 authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to 

transfer the unexpended balances available for the bonding assistance program from ‘‘Office of the Secretary, Salaries and Expenses’’ 

to ‘‘Minority Business Outreach’’. 

Section 105 allows funds provided for the Transportation Planning, Research, and Development program to be used for the development, coordination, and analysis of data collection procedures 

and national performance measures. Data analysis is a critical part 

of informing transportation decision-making and reaching national 

priorities such as safety, economic accessibility, congestion reduction, network utility, reduced energy use, and environmental protection. The conferees encourage the Secretary to work with States 

and Metropolitan Planning Organizations in order to understand 

the resources they would need to collect and report accurate data 

on system performance.

$7,300,739,000 as proposed by the House and $7,305,902,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement provides funding for a minimum of 15,692 air traffic controllers. The conferees 

note that the FAA and its controller workforce reached a mutual 

agreement on a three-year labor contract. The conferees expect the 

FAA to honor the terms of the agreement within its existing resources. 

The conferees also believe in the importance of maintaining

cost share towers program, but only after all base line tower obligations have been fulfilled. 

RNAV/RNP procedures.—Within the amounts provided for the air traffic organization, $35,130,000 is included for RNAV/RNP procedures. FAA is directed to provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by February 15, 2010 which describes every procedure that will be developed with fiscal year 2010 

funds, including quantifiable data comparing flight time; flight distance; and estimated fuel, emissions and environmental benefits 

compared to existing procedures. The report should include information on which office or region requested the procedure and the 

anticipated development time. 

Southern California TRACON.—The conferees direct the FAA 

to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment on the Southern California 

TRACON as articulated in Senate Report 111–69.

$9,500,000 for additional flight standards inspectors and related 

safety staff and an increase of $4,500,000 for additional aircraft 

certification inspectors and related safety staff. 

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

amount available, $470,000,000 is available until September 30, 

2010, and $2,466,203,000 is available until September 30, 2012.

LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement limits obligations for administrative 

expenses of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to 

$413,533,000, as proposed by the House instead of $415,396,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also includes 

language to make $3,524,000 in contract authority above this limitation available to the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to conduct 

audits and investigations related to the FHWA and $285,000 in 

contract authority above this limitation available for the OIG’s annual audit of the FHWA’s financial statements. In addition, the 

conferees provide $3,220,000 in contract authority above the limitation available for the administrative expenses of the Appalachian 

Regional Commission in accordance with section 104 of title 23, 

United States Code. 

Improving bridge safety.—The conferees expect the FHWA to 

make more significant progress in improving its oversight of bridge 

conditions and safety over the course of fiscal year 2010. In order 

to ensure that the agency has the staff necessary to conduct more 

rigorous oversight of bridges, the conferees direct the FHWA to use 

$5,000,000 of the funds provided to hire additional personnel at the 

agency headquarters and in the division offices with the responsibility to oversee bridge safety. 

In addition, the conferees direct the Inspector General to 

evaluate the FHWA’s progress in fulfilling each of the recommendations given in his report on the national bridge inspection 

program (Report Number MH–2009–013) and to submit a report to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with his findings no later than April 30, 2010. 

Ensuring the success of mass evacuations.—The conferees direct the Department of Transportation (DOT), in cooperation with 

the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to assess mass evacuation plans for the country’s most high-threat, high-density areas 

and identify and prioritize deficiencies on those routes that could 

impede evacuations. The conferees also direct DOT, in cooperation 

with DHS and the Office of the National Capital Region Coordination, to conduct an analysis of how national highway system 

projects under construction west of the National Capital Region 

(NCR) could increase the NCR’s evacuation capacity and provide a 

detailed plan to accelerate such projects. DOT shall submit its report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no 

later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act.

FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY ADMINISTRATION

MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMS

(LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS)

(HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)

The conference agreement includes a liquidation of contract authorization and a limitation on obligations of $239,828,000 for the 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
407 

operating expenses of and motor carrier safety research by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), as proposed by 

the House instead of $238,500,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of 

this limitation, $8,543,000 is to remain available for obligation 

until September 30, 2012, as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement provides funding in the following manner: 

Program Funding 

Operating expenses ............................................................................... $183,051,000 

Research and technology ....................................................................... 8,543,000 

Information management ...................................................................... 34,722,000 

Regulatory development ........................................................................ 9,728,000 

Outreach and education ........................................................................ 2,784,000 

Commercial motor vehicle operators grants ........................................ 1,000,000 

Total ................................................................................................. 239,828,000 

The conference agreement prohibits any funds relating to outreach and education from being transferred to another agency, as 

proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

High risk carriers.—The conferees include bill language, as 

proposed by both the House and the Senate, that directs the 

FMCSA to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the agency’s progress in meeting the requirement to 

conduct compliance reviews on high risk carriers. The reports are 

due March 30, 2010, and September 30, 2010, as proposed by the 

House. 

On board data recorders.—The conferees urge the FMCSA to 

issue its final rule on the use of electric on board data recorders 

(EOBR) to collect and maintain data on driver hours of service and 

accident conditions as soon as possible. Furthermore, the conferees 

direct the FMCSA to report to the House and the Senate Committees on Appropriation within 90 days after the enactment of this 

Act on the specific actions the agency will take to incentivize industry-wide use of EOBR and the metrics that will be used to measure 

the adoption of EOBRs installation. In addition, the conferees direct the FMCSA to report by October 1, 2010, on the success of the 

agency’s efforts to incentivize EOBR adoption, including a review 

of the agency’s metrics. 

Research and technology education.—The conferees are encouraged by the FMCSA’s efforts to target research and technology 

funding towards safety technologies that promise to reduce fatalities and improve safety. However, the conferees believe that the 

FMCSA should more aggressively promote these safety technologies and, therefore, direct the FMCSA to dedicate a portion of 

its education and outreach budget, as appropriate, to educating 

motor carrier operators on available safety technologies and promote those most likely to result in meaningful safety benefits.

FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION

SAFETY AND OPERATIONS

The conference agreement provides $172,270,000 for safety and 

operations of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) instead of 

$172,533,000 proposed by the House and $171,770,000 proposed by 

the Senate. Of the funds provided, $12,300,000 is available until

RAILROAD SAFETY TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM

The conference agreement provides $50,000,000 to implement 

the railroad safety technology program authorized in the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 as proposed by the Senate. The House 

did not propose funding for this account. The conference agreement 

provides that to be eligible for assistance, an entity need not have 

developed plans required under 49 U.S.C. 20156(e)(2) and 20157. 

However, in order to qualify for a grant under this program, all applicants must demonstrate that they are currently developing the 

required plans. 

CAPITAL ASSISTANCE FOR HIGH SPEED RAIL CORRIDORS AND

INTERCITY PASSENGER RAIL SERVICE

The conference agreement provides $2,500,000,000 for grants 

to support intercity rail service and high speed rail corridors instead of $4,000,000,000 as proposed by the House and 

$1,200,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Additional High-Speed Rail Projects.—Section 502 of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 authorized a 

program to establish public-private partnerships in high-speed rail 

development in eleven specific corridors. The conference agreement 

does not specifically include $5,000,000 for this purpose as proposed by the House. However, the conferees urge the Secretary and 

FRA to meet the intent of advancing high speed rail along the eleven named corridors through the funds provided in this and other 

Acts. 

Infrastructure Bank.—The conferees delete language proposed 

by the House which allowed high speed rail funds to be transferred 

for the creation of a National Infrastructure Bank if authorized 

prior to September 30, 2010. The Administration proposed the creation of a National Infrastructure Bank as a potential financing 

mechanism for a broad range of infrastructure needs including, 

within the realm of transportation, intermodal freight and passenger facilities; port infrastructure projects; public-private partnerships; and aircraft equipage requirements associated with the 

implementation of NextGen aviation technology. The conferees support strong investment in transportation infrastructure. However, 

given that this is a new and complex endeavor, the conferees believe that this proposal requires careful review and should be considered through the normal authorization process. 

NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION (AMTRAK)

The conference agreement provides a total of $1,564,625,000 

for the operations, capital improvements and debt service to the 

National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak).

grants to Amtrak instead of $553,348,000 as proposed by the House 

and the Senate. Such funds are available until expended, as proposed by the Senate. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
415 

OIG savings reports.—The conference agreement modifies the 

House and Senate bills and requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) IG to provide semiannual reports to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations on the estimated savings accrued as a result of all operation reforms instituted by Amtrak as 

well as any possibilities for future savings. 

Business plan.—The conference agreement modifies language 

included in the House and Senate bills and requires Amtrak to provide semiannual reports in electronic format regarding the pending 

business plan as well as progress against the milestones and target 

dates contained in its financial performance improvement plan provided in fiscal year 2009. 

Reduced fares.—The conference agreement directs Amtrak to 

report semi-annually on fares reduced by fifty percent or more from 

the normal, peak fare rather than quarterly as proposed by the 

House. 

Human emulation technology.—The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 for Amtrak to deploy and study the use of human 

emulation technology rather than $5,000,000 as was proposed by 

the Senate. The House did not provide funding for this purpose. 

CAPITAL AND DEBT SERVICE GRANTS TO THE NATIONAL RAILROAD

PASSENGER CORPORATION

The conference agreement provides $1,001,625,000 for capital 

and debt service payment grants to Amtrak as proposed by the 

Senate, instead of $929,625,000 as proposed by the House. Such 

funds are available until expended, as proposed by the Senate. 

Within the funds provided, the conference agreement includes 

$264,000,000 for Amtrak’s debt service payment as proposed by the 

House and the Senate. The agreement modifies the Senate bill and 

requires that grants made after the first $200,000,000 be provided 

only on a reimbursable basis. 

Americans with Disabilities Act.—Under its six-year plan for 

compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Amtrak would invest $144,000,000 during fiscal year 2010 for necessary capital investments. The conferees direct Amtrak to maintain this plan for complying with the requirements of ADA. The 

conferees also direct Amtrak to provide quarterly status reports on 

its ADA improvements and progress on the six-year plan. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION

Section 151 retains a provision that permits FRA to purchase 

promotional items for Operation Lifesaver as proposed by the 

House and Senate. 

Section 152 retains a provision that ceases the availability of 

Amtrak funds if the railroad contracts for services outside the 

United States for any service performed by a full-time or part-time 

Amtrak employee as of July 1, 2006 as proposed by the House and 

Senate. 

Section 153 retains a provision that allows FRA to receive and 

use cash or spare parts to repair, and replace damaged track inspection cars as proposed by the House and Senate. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS

Section 157 clarifies funding for a project in Washington provided in the FY 2009 Appropriations Act as proposed by the Senate. 

Section 158 modifies language for a railroad feasibility study 

in Springfield, IL proposed by the Senate. 

Section 159 modifies a provision proposed by the Senate requiring Amtrak to allow the transportation of firearms and ammunition in checked baggage. 

FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $98,911,000 for the administrative expenses of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) instead of $97,478,000 as proposed by the House and Senate. The 

conference agreement specifies that no more than $1,809,000 shall 

be provided for travel. 

The conference agreement directs FTA’s operating plan to include a specific allocation of administrative expenses resources, including a delineation of full time equivalent employees, as proposed 

by the House. The conference agreement also requires transfers exceeding 5 percent to be approved by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees through the reprogramming process as proposed by the Senate. 

FORMULA AND BUS GRANTS

(LIQUIDATION OF CONTRACT AUTHORITY)

(LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS)

(HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)

The conference agreement limits obligations from the Mass 

Transit Account for the formula and bus grant program to

formula and bus grant funds will be determined through legislation 

extending or reauthorizing the surface transportation programs. 

The conference agreement includes a liquidating cash appropriation of $9,400,000,000. 

Bus and bus facilities.—Within the funds provided for bus and 

bus facilities, the FTA is directed to allocate funds to the following

AGENCIES 

The language and allocations contained in House Report 111– 

149 and Senate Report 111–34 should be complied with unless specifically addressed to the contrary in the conference report and 

statement of managers. The statement of managers, while repeating some report language for emphasis, does not intend to negate 

the language referred to above unless expressly provided herein. In 

cases where both the House and Senate reports address a particular issue not specifically addressed in the conference report or 

joint statement of managers, the conferees have determined the 

House report and the Senate report are not inconsistent and are 

to be interpreted accordingly, in cases where the House or Senate 

report directs the submission of a report, such report is to be submitted in both the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. 

The conferees expect that each department and agency funded 

in this Act shall follow the directions set forth in this Act and the 

accompanying report, and shall not reallocate resources or reorganize activities except as provided herein. Reprogramming procedures shall apply to funds provided in this Act, unobligated balances from previous appropriations Acts that are available for obligation or expenditure in fiscal year 2010, and non-appropriated resources such as fee collections that are used to meet program requirements in fiscal year 2010. In reiterating the reprogramming 

procedures here, which are codified as section 505 of this Act, the 

conferees expect that the Appropriations Subcommittees on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies of the House and Senate shall be notified by letter a minimum of 15 days prior to— 

(1) Reprogramming of funds, whether permanent or temporary, 

in excess of $500,000 or 10 percent, whichever is less, between programs or activities. This provision is also applicable in cases where 

several activities are involved with each receiving less than 

$500,000. In addition, the Committees are to be notified of reprogramming actions which are less than these amounts if such acVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00610 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

tions would be the effect of committing the agency to significant 

funding requirements in future years; 

(2) Increasing funds or personnel by any means for any project 

or activity for which funds have been denied or restricted; 

(3) Relocating offices or employees; 

(4) Reorganizing offices, programs, or activities; 

(5) Contracting out or privatizing any functions or activities 

presently performed by Federal employees; or 

(6) Proposing to use funds directed for a specific activity by either the House or the Senate for a different purpose. 

Furthermore, the reprogramming authorities do not allow the 

obligation of funds to create or initiate any new program, project 

or activity. 

Any reprogramming request shall include any out-year budgetary impacts and a separate accounting of program or mission impacts on estimated carryover funds. No changes shall be made to 

any program, project or activity, except as provided by the Committees, if it is to be construed to be a change in policy. Any program, 

project or activity cited in the reports of the House or Senate accompanying this Act or the conference agreement shall be construed as the position of the conference and shall not be subject to 

reductions or reprogramming without prior approval of the Committees. The conferees further expect any department or agency 

funded in this Act which plans a reduction-in-force to notify by letter the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate 30 

days in advance of the date of any such planned personnel action. 

The conferees note that when a department or agency submits 

a reprogramming or transfer request to the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate and does not receive identical responses by the House and Senate, it shall be the responsibility of 

the department or agency seeking the reprogramming to reconcile 

the difference between the two bodies before proceeding. If reconciliation is not possible, the items in disagreement in the reprogramming or transfer request shall be considered unapproved. 

The conferees direct the Departments of Commerce and Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the 

National Science Foundation to submit spending plans, signed by 

the respective department or agency head, for the Committees’ review within 60 days of enactment of this Act. 

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

INTERNATIONAL TRADE ADMINISTRATION

OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement provides $456,204,000 in total resources for the programs of the International Trade Administration 

(ITA) for fiscal year 2010, which includes $9,439,000 in offsetting 

fee collections. 

The conferees understand the difficulties of attempting to balance the positive and negative effects of a free trade agenda. The 

conferees are determined to ensure that the United States GovernVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00611 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
608 

ment upholds its responsibility to enforce trade laws, particularly 

with China. If trading partners do not abide by the rules that are 

set in the global trading system, United States firms are unable to 

compete on a level playing field. The United States Government 

has an obligation to ensure that U.S. companies are not forced to 

compete with foreign companies that are engaged in unfair trading 

practices. 

The conferees direct ITA to submit to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations, not later than 60 days after the enactment of this Act, a spending plan for all ITA units that incorporates any carryover balances from prior fiscal years and expect 

this plan to be updated to reflect the obligation of funds on a quarterly basis. 

China anti-dumping and countervailing duty activities.—The 

conference agreement designates funding of no less than 

$7,000,000 for the Office of China Compliance, and no less than 

$4,400,000 for the China Countervailing Duty Group within Import 

Administration. The conferees also encourage ITA to allocate additional resources above the request to the activities of both these offices. 

Travel expenditures.—The conferees continue to direct the Department to submit quarterly reports to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations regarding ITA’s travel expenditures, 

including separate breakouts of funding, number of trips and the 

purposes of travel to both China and India. 

Human rights training.—The conference agreement directs ITA to devote no less than $500,000 from Executive Direction and 

Administration funds to ensure that American commercial officers 

and locally-engaged staff receive human rights training and to ensure that, when counseling U.S. businesses on market conditions 

with a particular country, employees include information on human 

rights, rule of law, and corporate responsibility. In addition, ITA 

shall report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not later than 60 days after the enactment of this Act with 

an annual human rights training plan. 

Facilitating exports with China.—The conferees direct that not 

later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a report on the status of the current program and the feasibility of providing additional assistance to smalland medium-sized businesses to facilitate U.S. exports to China. 

The report shall include, but is not limited to the Department’s 

ability to provide small- and medium-sized businesses with: (1) assistance to find and utilize Federal and private resources to facilitate entering into the market; (2) continuous direct and personal 

contact with businesses that have entered the market; (3) assistance to resolve disputes with the Government of the United States 

or China relating to intellectual property rights violations, export 

restrictions, and additional trade barriers; (4) the location and recruitment of businesses to enter the market; (5) trade missions; 

and (6) consolidation of fees charged by the Department for Gold 

Key matching services provided for businesses that export goods or 

services produced in the United States to more than one market in 

China. The report shall include cost estimates for any additional 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
609 

services not currently provided, the effect of any fee reductions, and 

the number of additional personnel required. 

Anti-dumping and countervailing duties study.—The conferees 

direct the Secretary of Commerce to work with the Secretaries of 

the Departments of Homeland Security and the Treasury to conduct an analysis and report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, on the 

relative advantages and disadvantages of prospective and retrospective anti-dumping and countervailing duty systems. The report 

should address the extent to which each type of system would likely achieve the goals of remedying injurious dumping or subsidized 

exports, minimize uncollected duties, reduce incentives and opportunities for importers to evade anti-dumping and countervailing 

duties, effectively target high-risk importers, address the impact of 

retrospective rate increases on U.S. importers and their employees, 

and create a minimal administrative burden. 

Appalachian-Turkish Trade Project.—The conferees continue to 

recognize the importance of trade and investment opportunities to 

the Appalachian Region, and are encouraged by the findings in reports that Appalachian firms could find significant trade and investment opportunities, particularly in the energy, hardwood, high 

technology, and transportation sectors, in the Republic of Turkey 

and the surrounding region. In this regard, the conferees support 

the Appalachian-Turkish Trade Project (ATTP), a project to promote opportunities to expand trade, encourage business interests, 

stimulate foreign studies, and build a lasting and mutually meaningful relationship between Appalachian states and the Republic of 

Turkey, as well as neighboring countries in the region, such as 

Greece. The conferees expect the Commercial Service to continue to 

be a prominent ATTP sponsor. 

World Trade Organization.—The conferees are aware of the 

World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Body’s January 16, 

2003, ruling regarding the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset 

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

the existing right of WTO Members to distribute monies collected 

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

every 60 days, to the Appropriations Committees of the House and 

Senate on such negotiations. 

In addition, the conferees direct that negotiations be conducted 

within the WTO consistent with the negotiating objectives contained in the Trade Act of 2002, to maintain strong U.S. trade remedies laws, prevent overreaching by WTO Panels and the WTO Appellate Body, and prevent the creation of obligations never negotiated or agreed to by the United States. 

U.S. Foreign Commercial Service (USFCS).—The conferees 

strongly support an increase in the numbers of American and locally-engaged staff available to conduct core commercial activities 

at overseas posts. The conference agreement includes an increase 

above the request to enhance such staffing levels. The conferees 

further request that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) 

conduct the study described in the Senate report. In addition, the 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
610 

conferees direct the Department of Commerce to submit a report to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 

days of enactment of this Act on steps taken to address overseas 

pay comparability for the USFCS, and how these actions compare 

with those taken by other departments for foreign service employees. 

Within the appropriation, $5,215,000 is provided for the following activities: 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
611 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTSInsert offset folio 1391 here HR366.024
612 

The conferees direct ITA to refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants and expect that the agency will provide 

appropriate management and oversight of each grant. 

BUREAU OF INDUSTRY AND SECURITY

OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement provides $100,342,000 for the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), and includes requested programmatic increases of $10,000,000 for the cyber espionage and 

system modernization initiative and $1,800,000 for the weapons of 

mass destruction (WMD) and improvised explosive devices (IED) 

nonproliferation initiative. 

The conferees are concerned that crime control and law enforcement technologies can be exported to foreign governments and 

used to abuse human rights. The conferees understand that BIS is 

currently working to update crime control and law enforcement 

items contained on the Commerce Control List. In addition, BIS is 

working on a more complex crime control review to address developing technologies such as biometric identification systems, training simulators, and surveillance systems. The conferees encourage 

BIS to review thoroughly whether these new technologies can be 

used by foreign governments to repress basic human rights and to 

implement quickly appropriate export controls on items with the 

potential for abuse. 

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement provides $293,000,000 for the programs and administrative expenses of the Economic Development 

Administration (EDA) for fiscal year 2010. 

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

The conferees provide $255,000,000 for Economic Development 

Assistance Programs. The conferees expect EDA to use all available 

carryover and prior year recoveries to the maximum extent possible. 

Public Works.—The conference agreement provides 

$158,280,000 for Public Works. The conferees believe that, given 

the current economic climate, these funds are critical to local communities and industries faced with increased economic pressures 

and dislocations in the rapidly changing global economy. EDA is directed to submit future budget requests that maintain the current 

public works program funding level while increasing funding for regional innovation clusters and small business incubator efforts. 

Public works remain an integral element of economic development 

assistance and funding for this critical program should not be limited, particularly in the current economy. 

Global Climate Change Mitigation Fund.— Within the funds 

provided for Public Works, the conference agreement provides no 

less than $25,000,000 for the Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive Fund. The conferees emphasize that economic development 

must address climate change, and direct EDA to expand the program beyond Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
613 

(LEED) certification, to include renewable energy; energy efficiency; reuse, restoration and recycling; green buildings; the development of green products; the greening of an existing function, 

process or activity; and the creation or renovation of green buildings. The conferees further direct EDA to provide a report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of 

enactment of this Act, detailing the scope of the fund, the criteria 

for approval of fund expenditures, and the methodology EDA will 

employ when reviewing grants. 

Planning.—The conference agreement provides $31,000,000 for 

planning. The conferees direct the agency to continue to allocate 

funding to the existing network of Economic Development Districts 

(EDDs), consistent with the fiscal year 2009 direction. 

Technical assistance.—The conference agreement provides $9,800,000 for technical assistance. The conferees direct EDA to 

compete two additional university centers each year with the additional base funding, with the goal of ensuring that each State has 

at least one center and that economically distressed communities 

are not further burdened by the lack of representation and the 

need to share and stretch resources. 

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).—The conference agree- ment provides $15,800,000 for TAA. While the conferees support 

this program and the recently enacted authorization, EDA must 

undertake efforts to improve overall organization, implementation 

and evaluation of its program before significant new investments 

can be recommended. The conferees therefore direct EDA to institute an evaluative process and use up-to-date economic data before 

allocating these funds among regional offices. EDA is also directed 

to provide quarterly reports to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations on the number of firms assisted, how that assistance is quantified, and the value each TAA center adds to the process. 

Economic adjustment assistance (EAA).—The conference agree- ment provides $38,620,000 for EAA. 

Regional innovation clusters.—The conferees support the efficiency gains of regional innovation clusters for applicants and the 

agency; encourage the use of this approach within existing authorities and funding structure; and note that first efforts will include 

mostly planning grants for communities as they identify local clusters for development. Critical to the success of the cluster approach, however, is coordination and alignment between economic 

development agencies. EDA is directed to identify appropriate 

agencies; establish coordination and alignment of priorities, applications, and working relationships; and report this structure to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of 

enactment of this Act. EDA is directed to provide quarterly reports 

on progress and funding awards for the cluster initiative, and to 

create performance measures for future evaluation. 

Small business incubators.—The conferees encourage EDA to 

continue to fund business incubation efforts as it has in the past 

through its existing grant programs and budget structure. EDA is

ordinated Federal approach for supporting business incubators nationwide rather than creating duplicative activities within these 

agencies. These programs are available to assist new and existing 

businesses and should be coordinated and aligned among them and 

with the regional innovation clusters initiative. Within 90 days of 

enactment of this Act, EDA shall provide a report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations defining the specific needs 

that EDA proposes to support through emerging business incubators in various communities, providing a matrix of how the various 

Federal programs currently support these centers, and explaining 

how future funding would provide beneficial synergy. 

Hawaii and the American Pacific.—The conferees are aware of 

the exceptionally large geographic area of Hawaii and the American Pacific, which is served by the Hawaii Economic Development 

Administration office and the increasing demands for services in 

the area, and provide increased staff support for this field office. 

Base realignment and closure (BRAC).—The conferees direct 

EDA, in coordination with the Department of Defense’s Office of 

Economic Adjustment, to submit a report within 60 days of the enactment of this Act. The report shall identify opportunities for coordination and alignment of the two agencies, within current authorities and budget structures, to address the needs of localities 

designated as military growth and closures communities, including 

criteria for eligible communities and projects, and foreseeable funding requirements and availability. 

Disaster funding.—The conferees encourage EDA to ensure 

that disaster funding is disbursed in a timely manner. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $38,000,000 for salaries 

and expenses. The conferees continue to support EDA’s regional offices and reiterate their commitment to continuing the current 

operational structure with the six regional offices. The conference 

agreement provides adequate funding to begin filling vacancies 

within the regional offices, and continues the previous direction to 

fill vacancies within the regional offices prior to any vacancies 

within headquarters. 

TAA centers database.—The conferees direct the use of fiscal 

year 2009 carryover funds intended for TAA salaries and expenses 

to develop a single database for the collection of the data now required of the TAA centers. 

Economic development representative (EDR).—The conferees 

note that some States share an EDR, requiring some EDRs to be 

responsible for a larger geographic area. The conferees are concerned that the increased territorial burden is impacting the effectiveness of EDR efforts, therefore, the conferees direct the agency 

to develop a maximum territorial range for each EDR; submit costs 

associated with re-establishing a single EDR in each State to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of 

enactment of this Act; include funding to restore a minimum of one 

EDR per state in the fiscal year 2011 budget request; and begin 

implementation with a portion of the resources provided.

MINORITY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AGENCY

MINORITY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The conference agreement provides $31,500,000 for the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) for fiscal year 2010. 

Within the appropriation, the conference agreement provides not 

less than $200,000 for the Office of Native American Business Development. The conferees expect the office to utilize the assistance 

of the Native American Business Enterprise Centers to help fulfill 

its obligations to expand business development, trade promotion 

and tourism opportunities for Indian tribes and other Native American entities. Within the appropriation, $1,100,000 is provided for 

the congressionally designated activities listed below:

MBDA is directed to work with the recipients to ensure that 

projects meet the agency’s mission, to refrain from charging administrative costs, and to provide appropriate management and oversight. 

ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $97,255,000 for the Economics and Statistics Administration. 

BUREAU OF THE CENSUS

The conference agreement provides a total operating level of 

$7,324,731,000 for the Bureau of the Census. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $259,024,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Bureau of the Census for fiscal year 2010. 

PERIODIC CENSUSES AND PROGRAMS

The conference agreement provides a total of $7,065,707,000 

for all periodic censuses and related programs in fiscal year 2010. 

Field Data Collection Automation (FDCA) Contract replan.— 

The replan of the FDCA contract resulted in a significant overall 

increase in the life cycle cost of the decennial census, now estimated at $14,700,000,000. The conferees direct the Census Bureau 

to provide monthly status reports and obligation rates on this contract and other large contracts related to the 2010 decennial, and 

include the status of known risks to the success of the decennial. 

In addition, the conferees direct the Census Bureau to follow the 

recommendations of the February 2009 Office of Inspector General 

(OIG) report, including the implementation of a fee evaluation 

process to ensure that fee awards are truly earned and contractors 

are incentivized to maximize value for the taxpayer. 

Development and reporting of milestones.—The conferees adopt, 

by reference, report language that accompanies the fiscal year 2008 

supplemental appropriations for the Census Bureau regarding the 

development and reporting of milestones associated with the 2010 

census. 

Communications.—The conferees direct the Census Bureau to 

work closely with the advertising provider to ensure that the 

decennial’s outreach activities are targeted to achieve high rates of 

survey responses in all communities, particularly within hard-toreach communities. 

Paid media.—In order to increase the mail-back response rate, 

the conferees direct the Census Bureau to allocate sufficient funding to support robust paid media efforts in preparation for the 2010 

decennial census, with specific focus on hard-to-reach populations, 

ensuring these efforts surpass the effectiveness of such efforts in 

2000. 

Partnership.—The conferees urge the Census Bureau to ensure 

it hires a diverse pool of employees, particularly for partnership 

specialist and enumerator positions for the 2010 decennial census. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
618 

These indigenous workers bring language skills and neighborhood 

and cultural knowledge to bear on the task, and are thus more 

likely to be accepted by communities during outreach and non-response follow-up, resulting in a more accurate count. The Census 

Bureau is also encouraged to strive to maintain a more diverse, 

full-time workforce, including at the senior management level. 

Mileage reimbursement for temporary workers.—The conferees 

provide sufficient funding to ensure that temporary employees will 

receive full mileage reimbursement at a rate that is equivalent to 

that of all Federal employees. 

Fingerprinting.—A recent GAO report highlighted flaws in the 

Bureau’s current methods for fingerprinting temporary census 

workers, a safeguard instituted in the 2010 Decennial. The conferees direct the Bureau to evaluate its procedures and to build on 

the steps the Bureau is taking to improve employee training and 

ensure the safety of the public. 

Other languages.—The conferees direct the Bureau to provide 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with updates 

of its language assistance program on a semi-annual basis, including information on how it will reach and assist respondents who 

speak Asian, American Indian, Alaska Native, Spanish, and other 

languages for the ACS and the 2010 decennial census. 

Data on small population groups and offshore U.S. jurisdictions.—The conferees direct the Bureau to report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment 

of this Act, describing the steps it will take to ensure the availability and accuracy of small population groups data from the ACS 

and decennial census, and for reporting aggregate data reflecting 

all citizens of the United States, including Puerto Rico and other 

offshore jurisdictions. 

Additional outreach.—The conferees direct the Bureau to ensure full funding of Census in Schools and adult education materials. 

Inspector General recommendations.—The conferees note that 

the OIG issued three recommendations to promote an accurate address list and contain costs. The conferees are concerned that the 

Census Bureau has failed to implement these recommendations 

and thus direct the Census Bureau to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 60 days of enactment of 

this Act, on the steps it is taking to implement the OIG’s recommendations. 

Non-decennial programs.—The conference agreement provides 

$214,581,000 for non-decennial periodic census programs.

ordination of spectrum management, analysis, and operations. 

NTIA shall submit a report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations no later than June 1, 2010, detailing the collection of reimbursements from other agencies related to spectrum 

management, analyses, and research. 

Preventing contraband cell phone use in prisons.—The conferees are concerned with the increased smuggling of contraband 

cell phones into State and Federal prisons and the use of such devices by inmates to orchestrate prison-breaks, conduct illegal activity, and harass or intimidate judges, lawyers or former victims. To 

deter contraband cell phones, States have begun to pursue aggressively smugglers and abettors of inmates; increased efforts to detect contraband phones hidden on prison employees, visitors and 

inmates; and explored the use of wireless detection and monitoring 

devices that could help corrections officials identify and prosecute 

criminal activity. 

To help State and Federal correctional authorities address this 

growing national problem, the conferees direct the National Telecommunications and Information Administration at the Department of Commerce, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the National 

Institute of Justice, to develop a plan to investigate and evaluate 

how wireless jamming, detection and other technologies might be 

utilized for law enforcement and corrections applications in Federal 

and State prison facilities. The conferees strongly urge the NTIA, 

in coordination with the FCC, to investigate and evaluate detection 

or other technologies that do not pose a risk of negatively affecting 

commercial wireless and public safety services in areas surrounding prisons. 

PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, PLANNING AND

CONSTRUCTION

The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for Public 

Telecommunications Facilities, Planning and Construction 

(PTFPC). PTFPC has been the primary source for telecommunications infrastructure assistance for public radio and television stations seeking assistance, particularly in under-served rural areas. 

The budget request proposed to eliminate the PTFPC program in 

fiscal year 2010, citing funding available through the Corporation 

for Public Broadcasting (CPB). The conferees direct that NTIA 

work with CPB to provide a report that clarifies the funding authorities of the two agencies to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment of this Act. 

UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $1,887,000,000 for the 

United States Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) for fiscal year 

2010, the same as the revised fee collection projection dated September 17, 2009. 

Budget formulation process.—A confluence of factors in fiscal 

year 2009, including depressed revenues, continuing declines in the

620 

flation has highlighted major, unacceptable deficiencies in USPTO’s 

budget formulation and execution processes. USPTO’s financial situation in fiscal year 2009, while anomalous, may be repeated 

again. The decision to rely solely on fee income has removed 

USPTO from the safety net of the appropriations process and has 

placed it at the mercy of the economy; it has allowed USPTO to 

build a boom time infrastructure that it cannot support in an economic downturn. Complicating and contributing to this situation is 

the fact that USPTO’s budget formulation process does not reflect 

the agency’s resource requirements for the relevant fiscal year. Fiscal year 2010 will likely present a new and more daunting set of 

financial challenges for the agency and achievement of key performance measures will likely continue to decline. 

The conferees note that although USPTO is a fee-funded agency, USPTO’s budget development process should not be markedly 

different from other Federal agencies, at least initially. Yet today, 

the USPTO is unable to produce a clear and concise statement of 

resources needed to operate independent of the agency’s estimate 

of projected revenues. Whatever advantages the current funding arrangement confers to the agency and its constituencies, the current 

state of budget formulation, execution and management at the 

USPTO cannot continue. 

USPTO must develop and present a requirements-based budget to ensure transparency to the Congress, the Administration and 

to USPTO’s stakeholders. To convey more fully USPTO’s spending 

requirements, the conferees direct that, in addition to the budget 

request, the annual USPTO budget submission, beginning with the 

fiscal year 2011 submission, shall contain the following items, separately identified, for the budget year: (1) an estimate of a current 

services baseline consistent with the Budget Enforcement Act 

(BEA) requirements; (2) any changes to that baseline from expected 

workload changes; (3) any changes from proposed initiatives to improve performance; and (4) any proposed user fee changes and their 

expected additional revenues needed to fund the budget request. 

Provision of fee collection projections.—The conferees direct the 

UPSTO to provide quarterly reports on its fee collection projections 

and to notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 

during any month when significant changes in such projections 

prompt serious concern or require drastic budgetary responses. In 

addition, the conferees direct the USPTO to provide official revised 

fee estimates for fiscal year 2011 to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than September 1, 2010. 

Reprogramming and spend plan.—The conferees understand 

that in several recent fiscal years, the USPTO has used excess fee 

collections in the current year to forward fund requirements in the 

budget year. The conferees note that the funding appropriated in 

any fiscal year is intended to fund costs in only that fiscal year. 

Therefore, funds appropriated in this Act for fiscal year 2010 are 

provided only for fiscal year 2010 operating costs. The USPTO is 

required to follow the reprogramming procedures outlined in section 505 of this Act before using excess fee collections to forward 

fund expenses beyond fiscal year 2010. Any deviations from the 

funding distribution provided for in this Act, including carryover 

balances, are subject to the standard reprogramming procedures 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
621 

set forth in section 505 of this Act. In addition, 60 days after enactment of this Act, the USPTO shall submit to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations a spending plan for fiscal year 2010. 

This spending plan shall incorporate all carryover balances from 

previous fiscal years, and describe any changes to the patent or 

trademark fee structure. Any changes from the spending plan shall 

also be subject to section 505 of this Act. 

Patent pendency and backlog.—The conferees remain concerned by the lack of progress toward reducing patent pendency 

and the overall patent backlog. The increasing backlog is the result 

of a number of factors, including the significant decrease in number 

of patents approved; the practical effect of the increasing numbers 

of requests for continued examination (RCE); and the fact that applicants are filing in more than one jurisdiction. 

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found that 

the hiring of additional patent examiners has not been sufficient to 

reverse the patent pendency and backlog trend and the recent and 

projected decrease in fee collections makes it clear that the USPTO 

will not be able to rely on additional hiring as a method to reduce 

the backlog. The conferees direct USPTO to enhance its efforts to 

reduce duplication of work already performed by another patent office in a manner that does not compromise the quality of the examination or compromise the sovereignty of the United States. The 

conferees also direct USPTO to develop and implement strategies 

to combat the unintended consequences of RCEs and the effect of 

the drop in patent application approvals. USPTO shall provide a 

report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 

its progress in these areas within 90 days of enactment of this Act. 

Patent Examiners.—The conferees are encouraged by the Administration’s recent actions to evaluate out-dated and unreasonable productivity goals, but remain concerned about workforce 

turnover at the agency. The Director, working with management 

and employees, recently completed an evaluation of the work productivity goals, which have been cited by many former patent examiners as a major reason for their departure. USPTO is directed 

to continue a thorough and independent evaluation exploring all 

workforce management and turnover issues, and is directed to provide a preliminary, if not final, report within 120 days of enactment of this Act outlining substantial changes and milestones to 

improve employee retention. 

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY

The conference agreement provides $856,600,000 for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for fiscal year 

2010.

agency to maintain an appropriate SCMMR funding level. 

Competitive construction grants.—Within the appropriation, 

the conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for competitive construction grants for research science buildings in fiscal year 2010. 

The conferees note that in just the first year of the program, the 

fiscal year 2008 call for proposals yielded 93 requests, of which only 

three were funded due to limited appropriations. The conferees expect the Administration to include funding for this competitive program in future requests as these research science buildings leverage additional public and private funding, provide jobs, and improve science research in the Nation. 

The conferees direct NIST to provide quarterly reports on the 

status of all construction projects funded under this appropriation 

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. 

The conference agreement provides $47,000,000 for the activities listed below.

627 

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 30 

days of enactment of this Act on the feasibility of establishing a cooperative institute for the purpose of advancing and sustaining this 

essential capability and its inclusion in future requests. 

Coral reef programs.—Given the magnitude of the effect of climate change on coral reefs worldwide and the vital role that coral 

reefs play in protecting the Nation’s beaches, sustaining fisheries 

and providing other economic benefits, the conference agreement 

provides $29,000,000 for the coral reef program, which includes 

$2,273,000 in competitive funding above the request for external 

coral reef institute partners. In awarding this competitive funding, 

the conferees encourage NOAA to consider comparative regional 

needs, geographic scope, historic funding levels and other available 

funding. The conferees direct NOAA to include base funding for the 

external coral reef institutes in future budget requests. 

Response and restoration.—The conference agreement includes $27,134,000 for response and restoration, which provides 

$3,000,000 for estuary restoration and $9,300,000 for damage assessment and restoration. The conference agreement provides an 

additional $1,000,000 for the Office of Response and Restoration, 

working jointly with the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, to 

solicit a one-time independent assessment of potential man-made 

undersea threats that could impact coastal and Great Lakes States. 

Coastal Zone Management (CZM) grants.—The conference 

agreement provides $2,000,000 above the request, and NOAA is directed to use a portion of the increase provided for a competitive 

program for efforts to modernize and improve State information 

systems to assess, track and manage permitting and land-use 

tracking procedures.

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).—The conference 

agreement provides $904,539,000 for NMFS operations, research 

and facilities. 

Protected species research and management.—The conference 

agreement provides $15,623,000 for the species recovery grants 

program. The conferees concur with the need for increased funding 

for endangered, threatened, and at-risk marine species. 

Marine mammals, marine turtles, and marine protected species.—The conference agreement provides total funding of $4,275,000 for Hawaiian Monk Seal activities; $7,800,000 for Hawaiian Sea Turtle and incident take activities; and $1,500,000 for 

the study and protection of cetaceans in the Pacific. 

The conferees encourage NOAA to demonstrate and utilize biological pattern recognition technology where appropriate for tagging fish or threatened or endangered animal species. 

Fisheries research and management.—The conference agree- ment provides $424,717,000 for fisheries research and management. Within this amount, $190,883,000 is recommended for fisheries research and management programs. Within the amounts 

provided, the conference agreement includes a programmatic increase of $750,000 for regulation activities associated with the Pacific Marine Monuments. 

Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act (MSRA).—The conference agreement provides all requested increases for MSRA requirements. These funds are necessary to prevent fisheries collapses and obviate the need for disaster funding. The conferees recognize the need to ensure sustainable fisheries. Within amounts 

provided, funding is designated to implement a sector-based management approach for New England and to transition to catch 

shares, a new tool that provides flexibility for fishermen while 

maintaining sustainability. Funding is provided to support the 

costs of expanded stock assessments and for regional councils that 

make recommendations on annual catch limits (ACLs). 

The conference agreement also provides funding to continue 

development of a State-Federal national registry program for marine recreational fishing participants, and to expand commercial 

fisheries’ biological sampling programs and electronic reporting of 

commercial fisheries’ landings. In addition, the conferees direct 

NMFS to provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this Act on recreational fishing under catch share program management. Specifically, the report shall include how data collection for recreational 

catches will improve in fisheries where the commercial sector receives catch shares; and how allocation conflicts between recreational and commercial sectors will be resolved. 

Economic and social science research.—The conference agreement includes the requested increase to address significant economic and social science research data gaps in major Federal fisheries that are crucial to developing support tools to conduct MSRAmandated cost-benefit analyses of regulatory options, such as ACLs 

and limited access privilege programs (LAPPs). These resources 

will allow the affected regions to provide input and engage in solutions in their own sectors, and to forge new relationships between 

the regions and NMFS.

Salmon management activities.—An increase of $10,000,000 

above the request is provided to begin implementation of reforms 

developed by the Hatchery Scientific Review Group to operate 

these facilities in a manner more conducive to salmon recovery. 

Enforcement.—The conference agreement provides the requested increase to fund the enforcement requirements of the 

MSRA. The conference recommendation includes a total of 

$1,500,000 to continue installing electronic logbooks on shrimp 

boats to monitor and reduce bycatch; end overfishing; rebuild overfished stocks such as red snapper; and ensure the sustainability of 

shrimp fisheries. The conferees note that this program is inherent 

to NOAA’s core mission and implementation of current shrimp fishery regulations, and expect that sufficient funding will be reflected 

in future budget requests. 

Observer/training.—The conference agreement provides the requested MSRA increase for implementation of annual catch limits. 

This includes supplementing observer coverage in three fisheries, 

including the Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery, and will implement 

pilot programs for three additional fisheries. The conference agreement also provides an increase above the request of $3,015,000 for 

the Hawaiian Longline Observer Program. 

Gulf coast management activities.—The conferees encourage 

NOAA to solicit, evaluate and incorporate independent fishery data 

when developing fishery regulations, and to create a thorough report detailing the potential economic impact any new restrictions 

would have on Gulf of Mexico communities before moving forward 

with any changes impacting the red snapper fishery. 

Habitat conservation and restoration.—The conference agree- ment provides a total of $27,967,000 for fisheries habitat restoration. Within this amount, $18,600,000 is provided for the community based restoration program and $7,034,000 is provided for the 

open rivers program. 

Other activities.—The conference agreement provides $500,000 

for fishery demonstration projects that develop and protect traditional fishing practices in communities represented on the Western 

Pacific Fishery Management Council. 

The conferees recognize the importance of ongoing surfclam 

and ocean quahog surveys to sustainable fisheries management 

and encourages NOAA to work closely with stakeholders on this 

matter. 

Regional studies: Chesapeake Bay.—The conferees direct 

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

States of Maryland and Virginia, and to continue to utilize the Sea 

Grant programs from both States in developing the program to advance multiple species management by focusing on blue crabs, oysters, and other resource species. 

Chesapeake Bay oyster restoration.—The conference agreement 

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

Of these funds, $2,000,000 is provided for oyster restoration in the 

Maryland waters of the Chesapeake Bay which shall be for on-theground and in-the-water restoration efforts, and $1,000,000 of these 

funds is for oyster restoration in Virginia waters of the Chesapeake 

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

banquets or salaries.

Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).—The conference 

agreement includes $438,766,000 for OAR operations, research and 

facilities. The conferees provide additional support for activities appropriately conducted by a national climate service and direct the 

agency to accelerate its current efforts towards the creation of such 

an entity. 

The conferees direct NOAA to enter into a contract with the 

National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) within 60 days 

after the enactment of this Act for a study and analysis of organizational options for a National Climate Service within NOAA, emphasizing maximum effectiveness and efficiency. The study should 

consider how to provide information at the global, regional, and 

State levels over varying timescales; support interaction among the 

government and various users, stakeholders, researchers, and information providers of climate information in both the private and 

public sectors; develop and distribute products and information 

that will support decision-making to better prepare the Nation for 

climate variability and climate change; coordinate and align existing programs and resources internal and external to NOAA to reduce duplications and leverage existing climate-related resources; 

and provide estimates on projected funding levels. The study shall 

be completed no later than 120 days after the contract is awarded. 

Climate research.—The conference agreement provides $221,040,000 for climate research. Within the recommendation, the 

conferees provide $9,000,000 for climate assessment services to 

synthesize, evaluate and report on climate change research findings; evaluate the effects of climate variability and change for different regions and sectors; and identify climate vulnerabilities and 

uncertainties as part of an ongoing effort to understand what climate change means for the United States. The recommendation 

also includes $2,200,000 to continue chemical climate research important to climate modeling and atmospheric science research. 

Weather and air quality research.—The conference agreement includes $650,000 above the request for instrumentation and operation of state-of-the-art monitoring of nutrients and mercury speciation measurement stations and laboratories. 

Ocean, Coastal and Great Lakes research.—The conferees encourage NOAA to conduct long-term ice cover and water level outlooks for the Great Lakes and to report on the impact of climate 

change on the habitats, fish and wildlife, commerce, recreational 

opportunities and water supply of the Great Lakes. 

The conferees direct NOAA to provide a report on the potential 

of ocean fertilization for climate change mitigation to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment of this Act, and encourage NOAA to support further research, 

as appropriate, within funds provided. 

Laboratories and cooperative institutes.—The conference agreement provides a total of $26,340,000 for laboratories and cooperative institutes, of which $4,500,000 is for the Northern Gulf Institute (NGI). The NGI is a cooperative institute that was solicited 

and competitively selected by NOAA to develop regional approaches 

to ecosystem management and research the interface between 

human, watershed, coast, ocean, and atmosphere continuums. The 

Gulf region is a significant contributor to the Nation’s economy, 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
637 

and NOAA’s own data shows that the Gulf experiences the highest 

frequency of severe weather and is affected by more disasters than 

any other region. Therefore, the conferees expect NOAA to provide 

adequate base funding for this activity in future budget requests. 

National Sea Grant College Program.—The conference agree- ment provides $63,000,000, of which $4,800,000 is for marine aquaculture research and $2,000,000 is for aquatic invasive species research; both activities shall be coordinated by NOAA’s Sea Grant 

office. The conferees recognize the important role the Sea Grant 

program plays in connecting coastal and Great Lakes communities 

with practical research and results, and encourage the growth of 

this program in future budget requests. 

Ocean exploration.—The conference agreement funds the ocean 

exploration program and the national undersea research program 

separately, as they are two distinct authorizations in the Omnibus 

Public Lands Management Act (Public Law 111–11). The conferees 

provide $3,000,000 in additional funding to support further ongoing 

operations in the Pacific and to advance exploration in the Indian 

Ocean.

National Weather Service (NWS).—The conference agreement 

provides $892,118,000 for National Weather Service operations, research and facilities. This includes the requested increase of 

$10,000,000 to accelerate significantly the improvement of hurricane track and intensity forecasts and fully funds the request for 

the Center for Weather and Climate Prediction operations. 

Aviation weather.—The conferees are concerned about the 

plans under consideration by the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) and the NWS to restructure the way aviation weather services are provided at en route centers that require the consolidation 

of weather service offices. GAO’s September 2009 report on this 

issue recommended that the Departments of Commerce and Transportation document baseline performance for several measures and 

take steps to address the significant challenges that FAA and NWS 

face to improve the current aviation weather structure. The conferees direct NWS to report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment of this Act on steps 

taken to implement GAO’s recommendations and the consequences, 

if any, of plans to restructure aviation weather services. 

National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).—The 

conferees encourage NCEP to continue to improve the performance 

of its computer modeling for weather, climate, hydrological and 

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

world. The conferees encourage NCEP to draw fully upon the resources of the U.S. academic community to better implement 

emerging scientific and technological advances. 

National mesonet program.—The conference agreement provides $19,000,000 for continuation and expansion of the national 

mesonet program. Funds shall be allocated as follows: (1) 

$8,000,000 to maintain data procurements from existing surface in 

situ mesonet observations, including those observations added as a 

result of the fiscal year 2009 expansion of the national mesonet 

program; (2) $5,500,000 for competitive expansion of the national 

mesonet program to include integration of additional surface in situ 

observational data from existing networks, with 75 percent of the 

funds for data acquisition from urban and 25 percent from nonurban (rural, mountainous, and coastal) areas; (3) $500,000 for the 

national mesonet program office for program oversight and data 

utilization initiatives; (4) $3,500,000 for the continued development 

and expansion of the Mobile Platform Environment (MoPED) System pilot program to ensure that mobile platform environmental 

data is available to support efforts of the NWS and Meteorological 

Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS); and (5) $1,000,000 for 

data validation tools for quality control and network monitoring 

and reliability, with up to $500,000 of these funds for MADIS expansion. The conferees expect NOAA to include in its fiscal year 

2011 budget a robust and expanded national mesonet program, as 

called for by the National Research Council. Further, the conferees 

note that NOAA was required to submit a plan 90 days after enactment of the fiscal year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act on implementation of the national mesonet program, a deadline with which 

the agency has not complied. The conferees expect this plan to be 

submitted within 30 days of the enactment of this Act.

National Weather Service.—The conferees direct that NOAA 

contract with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct an assessment of the now completed NWS modernization. During the 

1980s and 1990s NOAA launched a major program to modernize 

the NWS, investing $5,000,000,000 to modernize NWS technologies 

to advance weather forecasting. However, a complete assessment of 

the entire end-to-end NWS modernization enterprise has not been 

completed. The conferees require a report that not only addresses 

the past modernization, but also focuses on lessons learned to support future improvements to NWS capabilities. The report shall address high-impact weather and new science and technologies that 

allow for even better forecasts; the integration of new technologies 

and better models into NWS operations; and improving current 

partnerships with private industry, academia and other governmental agencies. 

Williston radar.—The conferees remain concerned about the 

ability of the NWS to forecast weather adequately, especially snow 

events, without the Williston radar. NOAA is directed to continue 

operations and staffing at the Williston Radar Station until independent research substantiates that any other radars in the forecast area can provide coverage for all light and heavy weather activity in the region.

National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS).—The conference agreement provides $199,165,000 

for NESDIS operations, research and facilities. 

Data centers and information services.—The conference agree- ment provides $67,255,000. This level includes $10,000,000 for climate data records (CDRs) to ensure the availability of authoritative climate reference data upon which to base investments and 

strategic plans; and additional funding for environmental data 

archiving, access and assessment activities. 

Regional climate centers (RCCs).—The conference agreement provides a total of $4,350,000 for RCCs. 

Scatterometer.—The conferees direct NOAA, together with 

NASA which is similarly directed, to continue co-funding joint studies within available funds that should lead to a fiscal year 2011 request to build and fly an operational scatterometer providing sea 

surface vector wind measurements. NOAA should aggressively pursue negotiations to secure a flight opportunity for this instrument 

that is both reliable and timely.

Program support (PS).—The conference agreement provides 

$455,970,000 for PS operations, research and facilities. 

IT security.—The conference agreement provides $7,000,000 for 

NOAA’s new cyber security and email communications system. 

This system is needed to reduce NOAA’s high vulnerability to cyber 

threat and to ensure that NOAA’s observing and modeling systems 

provide high quality information for continuous public use. The 

conferees note that funds provided in fiscal year 2009 were diverted without notification and NOAA has not requested adequate 

funds for these critical efforts in the current request. The conferees 

direct the agency to provide a detailed spend plan for all IT expenditures within 30 days of enactment of this Act, including funds 

from all sources. In addition, the conferees expect that future budget requests will include descriptions of significant IT expenditures 

and appropriate request levels, and that NOAA will follow the reprogramming procedures outlined in section 505 of this Act, as appropriate. 

NOAA education program.—The conferees strongly support 

NOAA’s education programs to increase environmental and ocean 

literacy and the conference agreement includes $38,523,000 to ensure a robust program. Within funding provided, $12,000,000 is for 

competitive educational grants, of which $8,000,000 is to increase 

the number of successful applications, and $4,000,000 is to continue the ocean education initiative created in fiscal year 2009. 

NOAA is also encouraged to support informal education partnership efforts to use new online broadband and digital media technologies to improve STEM education related to weather, climate, 

the Great Lakes and the ocean. 

GLOBE.—The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 for 

the GLOBE Program. The conferees recognize NOAA’s past role in 

GLOBE and direct NOAA to support the OSTP review of the program and to work cooperatively with NASA and NSF on this interagency program. 

Marine operations.—The conference agreement provides 

$120,125,000, which includes $2,500,000 for purchase and installation of an integrated vessel electronics bridge system for any ships 

or boats within NOAA. 

Justification improvement.—The conferees direct NOAA to 

work with the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations to 

reformat its justification into a more useable and user-friendly document, starting with the fiscal year 2011 submission. The conferees 

note the lack of funding transparency, justification for base programs, and other cross-cutting information, including the lack of 

personnel costs. 

GAO report on management and administration costs.—The 

conferees note NOAA’s inability to identify the costs of administering NOAA’s programs and direct GAO to identify salaries and 

expenses within each line item of the NOAA budget and explain 

how agency, line office, and program management and administration costs are financed. The conferees expect that the report be 

completed within one year and that a preliminary report be prepared and presented to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by May 3, 2010. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
648 

Research and development (R&D) tracking and outcomes.—The 

conferees continue their direction that NOAA track the division of 

R&D funds between intramural and extramural research, and assure consistency and clarity in the collection and reporting of data. 

NOAA is directed to clearly state its expected research outcomes 

and available funding in order to provide transparency into the 

competitive grant process for extramural researchers. The conferees further direct NOAA to increase extramural research funding in future requests to build broad community support and leverage external funding for mission-oriented research. 

Laboratories and cooperative institutes.—Within 60 days of enactment of this Act, NOAA is directed to provide the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations a report detailing the status 

of existing and expected regional cooperative institutes including 

current and planned funding and activities on a program by program basis. This report should make clear the programmatic origin 

of existing funding and contain an explanation of how NOAA expects to use these institutes in the future. 

Commercial satellites.—The conferees direct NOAA to report to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 

days of enactment of this Act on how the agency could benefit from 

acquiring space-based scientific data from commercial sources over 

the next three years, its plans to obtain such data, and an analysis 

of expected availability.

PROCUREMENT, ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION

The conference agreement includes a total program level of 

$1,360,353,000 in direct obligations under this heading, of which 

$1,358,353,000 is appropriated from the general fund and 

$2,000,000 is derived from recoveries of prior year obligations. 

The bill includes language making any deviation from amounts 

designated for specific activities in this report, or any use of 

deobligated balances of funds provided under this heading in previous years subject to the reprogramming procedures set forth in 

section 505. 

National Ocean Service (NOS).—The recommendation includes 

$36,890,000 for NOS acquisition and construction. This includes 

$5,000,000 above the request for the coastal and estuarine land 

conservation (CELCP) program. As a result of the Omnibus Public 

Lands Act, no less than 15 percent of CELCP funds shall be available for acquisitions benefitting National Estuarine Research Reserves System (NERRS). The conference agreement funds the 

NERRS Acquisition and Construction account at the request of 

$3,890,000, which provides a total of $6,890,000 for NERRS. 

Great Lakes restoration initiative.—The conferees understand 

that NOAA is expected to receive funding through the Environmental Protection Agency for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, including funds for land conservation projects. The conferees 

expect that this external funding will supplement, not replace, 

funding provided in this Act for CELCP projects, and the existence 

of this additional funding source shall not affect NOAA’s consideration of proposals under the CELCP program. 

National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS).—The recommendation includes $1,199,357,000 for 

NESDIS acquisition and construction. The conference agreement 

reduces the total funding provided for satellite acquisition and construction in recognition of reduced requirements for GOES-R resulting from delays in awarding the ground system contract. 

National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite 

System (NPOESS).—The conferees are concerned that NPOESS’ 

management structure, potential growth in the projected life-cycle 

cost of more than $15,000,000,000, and repeated schedule delays 

portend an unacceptably high risk of weather and climate satellite 

observation gaps. Recognizing that this satellite program is critical 

to forecasting the Nation’s weather, the conferees’ recommendation 

fully funds the NPOESS budget request for 2010 based on current 

information. However, the budget request does not reflect the true 

need and the program’s long-term projections for success remain in 

doubt. In fact, to date this experiment in combining disparate elements has been a horrendous and costly failure. 

A recent independent review team tasked with assessing all 

aspects of the program found many overarching flaws, ultimately 

determining that NPOESS is a program with a low probability of 

success. A June 2009 GAO report found that the NPOESS Executive Committee responsible for overseeing the program lacks the 

membership and leadership needed to effectively and efficiently 

oversee and direct the program. The conferees note that this situaVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00655 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
652 

tion has been developing for some time and is the result of a dysfunctional tri-agency management approach. 

Yet decisions made now—including delays or postponements of 

decisions—have long-term consequences for both the sustained 

robustness of the operational observing system and for the Nation’s 

industrial capacity. Nothing short of an immediate and out-of-thebox solution will do. The program needs a cooperative solution that 

will take advantage of the strengths of the three agencies involved, 

sustain the integrated operations of the various satellites, and 

should not be based on financial projections that have proven to be 

consistently and abysmally unreliable. 

NOAA is encouraged to request appropriate contingency funding to avoid delays and additional management and industrial policy challenges when programmatic funding is diverted to solve an 

imminent crisis. In addition, NOAA is encouraged to request funding for and to develop back up capabilities to ensure continuity of 

climatological observations. Accordingly, the conference agreement 

removes the 50/50 NOAA/DoD funding split requirement to allow 

for more creative funding decisions to avert the critical climate and 

weather gaps that are sure to occur if a management solution is 

not identified soon. 

Changes to the overall management structure are also needed 

to bring the program back in line, which includes modifying existing relationships between NOAA, the Department of Defense, and 

the contractor and enlisting more help from an agency with real 

space acquisition experience, such as NASA. Furthermore, a clear 

line of authority embodied in a project manager with the ability to 

make timely and cost effective decisions and avoid further delays 

is crucial. 

Finally, the conferees direct NESDIS to employ NASA cost 

analysis capabilities, and in consultation with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Cost Analysis Improvement Group 

(CAIG), to perform an independent cost analysis of all programmatic and acquisition alternatives at the 80 percent confidence level, and to include management structure change options. 

The conferees direct NOAA to report these findings and recommendations to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations along with all appropriate congressional oversight committees 

no later than January 4, 2010. 

Comprehensive large array stewardship system (CLASS).—The 

conference agreement includes $18,476,000 for CLASS. Of these 

funds, $5,500,000 is for maintenance, operations, and implementation of enhancements from development activity, and $12,976,000 

is for contracted development, with project administration and 

oversight to be at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center. 

NOAA Cooperative Institute and Research Center for Southeast 

Weather and Hydrology.—The conference agreement provides 

$14,000,000 for the continued construction of a research facility 

and weather related instrumentation and equipment to address the 

impact of severe weather in the Southeast. 

The conference agreement provides funding for congressionallydesignated activities listed within the obligation table for the PAC 

appropriation and directs NOAA to refrain from charging adminisVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00656 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

The conference agreement includes language transferring not 

to exceed $3,000,000 from the Coastal Zone Management Fund to 

the ‘‘Operations, Research, and Facilities Account.’’ 

FISHERIES FINANCE PROGRAM ACCOUNT

The conference agreement includes language under this heading limiting obligations of direct loans to $16,000,000 for Individual 

Fishing Quota loans. 

DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $58,000,000 for Departmental Management. 

Climate change.—The conferees are concerned that local and 

regional governments and the private sector of the United States 

make wise and timely investments to adapt to climate changes that 

will occur based on continuing growth in the amounts of atmospheric greenhouse gases. The conferees direct the Secretary of 

Commerce to develop a plan for how the needs of the private sector 

and local and State governments, as users of specific and tailored 

climate forecasts, will be addressed by new investments in climate 

services funded in this Act, and how a National Climate Service 

could incorporate the needs for such forecasts, if established. This 

plan is to be reported to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by April 1, 2010. 

Minority serving institutions digital and wireless opportunity 

program.—Not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, the 

Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a report describing the Department’s 

plans to support and assist minority serving institutions (MSI) in 

improving their instrumentation, connectivity, hardware and software for instructional and research purposes as contemplated by 

the amendments to the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation 

Act of 1980. The conferees also encourage the Secretary to work 

with the MSI national stakeholder organizations in developing 

such strategies. 

Justification improvement.—The conferees direct the Department to work with the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations to reformat all Commerce justifications into more useable 

and user-friendly documents, starting with the fiscal year 2011 

submission. 

Departmental oversight.—The conferees direct the Department 

to develop oversight capacity of the USPTO, and to track fee collections and other pertinent policy and economic impacts, to avoid 

budgetary shortfalls, and ensure that the Department and the 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations are fully informed on funding issues. 

HERBERT C. HOOVER BUILDING RENOVATION AND MODERNIZATION

The conference agreement provides $22,500,000 for continued 

renovation of the Herbert C. Hoover Building. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement provides $27,000,000 for the Office 

of Inspector General (OIG) for fiscal year 2010. Within funds provided, the Office of Inspector General shall continue to conduct audits and oversight of the USPTO. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS—DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

The conference agreement includes the following general provisions for the Department of Commerce: 

Section 101 makes funds available for advanced payments only 

upon certification of officials designated by the Secretary that such 

payments are considered to be in the public interest. 

Section 102 makes appropriations for the Department for salaries and expenses available for hire of passenger motor vehicles, for 

services, and for uniforms and allowances as authorized by law. 

Section 103 provides the authority to transfer funds between 

Department of Commerce appropriation accounts and requires notification to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of 

certain actions. 

Section 104 provides that any costs incurred by the Department in response to funding reductions shall be absorbed within 

the total budgetary resources available to the Department and 

shall be subject to the reprogramming limitations set forth in this 

Act. 

Section 105 extends Congressional notification requirements 

for the GOES–R satellite program. 

Section 106 provides for the reimbursement for services within 

Department of Commerce buildings. 

Section 107 provides authority for Secretary of Commerce to 

negotiate or re-evaluate international agreements related to fisheries, marine mammals, or sea turtles. 

Section 108 extends the authority of the Emergency Steel Loan 

Guarantee Program for two years. 

Section 109 clarifies that grant recipients under the Department of Commerce may continue to deter child pornography, copyright infringement, or any other unlawful activity over their networks.

TITLE II 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $118,488,000 for General 

Administration, Salaries and Expenses. 

Post-Guantanamo activities.—The conference agreement does 

not include the $60,000,000 requested for the anticipated costs of 

detaining, prosecuting and incarcerating individuals transferred 

from the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay. 

Reports to the Committees on Appropriations.—The conferees 

note that the Department has been delinquent in the delivery of 

multiple reports requested in the explanatory statement accompanying the Omnibus Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2009. 

These reports were requested by the Committees to provide additional information and analysis necessary for the conduct of appropriate oversight and to assist the Committees in determining funding levels for fiscal year 2010. While the presidential transition 

process likely played a role in these delays, the Department is still 

responsible for meeting congressionally-imposed deadlines. 

At the suggestion of the Department, the conferees have made 

all reports required in this fiscal year 2010 statement due 120 days 

after the enactment of this Act. Because the Department has provided assurances that a 120 day deadline is both reasonable and 

achievable, the conferees fully expect the Department to meet the 

deadline for all required reports in fiscal year 2010. 

Emerging telecommunications technologies.—The Attorney 

General (AG) is directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 days of the enactment of this 

Act on whether the Department has the resources needed to preserve law enforcement’s electronic surveillance capabilities in the 

face of emerging communication technologies, such as third and 

fourth generation communications networks. If sufficient resources 

do not exist, the AG is directed to provide recommendations on the 

resources needed to ensure that Federal, as well as State and local, 

law enforcement agencies maintain the technological capabilities to 

conduct successful electronic surveillance. 

Reducing crime in Indian Country.—The conferees direct the 

AG, in coordination with the Secretary of the Interior and State 

and tribal officials, to establish an interagency and tribal working 

group to clarify and resolve investigatory and prosecutorial jurisdiction challenges in Indian Country and to identify other challenges and needs related to tribal justice systems, including secure 

law enforcement information sharing systems. The working group 

shall develop recommendations on streamlining the Federal, State, 

and tribal response to criminal investigations and prosecutions, 

and shall submit a report containing such recommendations to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 days 

of the enactment of this Act. 

The group shall also report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the declination rate of crimes committed

in Indian Country, the criteria used to determine when a Federal 

prosecution will be brought and how those criteria differ from practices used elsewhere in the United States and its territories. The 

report shall be submitted within 120 days of the enactment of this 

Act. 

Further, the group shall develop protocols for Federal law enforcement agencies to notify the appropriate tribal officials of the 

rationale behind any decision to decline to initiate an investigation, 

or to terminate an investigation of an alleged violation of Federal 

law in Indian Country without referral for prosecution. This notification should describe the type of crime alleged, the status of the 

perpetrator and the status of the victim. These protocols should 

also ensure that United States Attorneys coordinate with tribal 

prosecutors in advance of prosecution deadlines mandated by the 

statute of limitations to permit tribal prosecutors to pursue cases, 

as appropriate, and define the responsibilities of Assistant United 

States Attorneys serving as Tribal Liaisons in order to better coordinate the prosecution of crimes on reservations. 

Reducing regulatory backlogs.—The conferees remain concerned with the existence of significant regulatory backlogs in portions of the Department, particularly the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). While ATF and other relevant bureaus hold primary responsibility for getting their regulations drafted, reviewed and disposed of in a timely manner, the Department also plays a significant role, and lengthy delays in the 

Department’s consideration of proposed regulations are contributing to the larger timeliness problem. The Department is directed 

to examine its regulatory review process (to include processes at 

the relevant bureaus) and to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 days of the enactment of this 

Act on recommended process reforms or resource investments that 

could shorten the total amount of time needed to draft and complete consideration of new regulations. 

Combating Gangs.—The 2009 National Gang Threat Assessment produced by the Department indicates that gangs pose a serious threat to public safety in many communities throughout the 

United States, and are increasingly migrating from urban to suburban areas. Gang membership has increased more than 20 percent 

since 2005, and gangs now total more than one million members. 

Gangs are involved in drug trafficking, and increasingly, in alien 

and weapons trafficking. A rising number of U.S. gangs are intent 

on developing working relationships with U.S.- and foreign-based 

drug trafficking organizations and other criminal organizations to 

gain direct access to foreign sources of illicit drugs. While the primary responsibility for combating gang crime falls on local jurisdictions, the Federal government has a critical leadership, coordination, and intelligence-sharing role to play. The conferees expect the 

Attorney General to make anti-gang efforts a top national law enforcement priority, and dedicate the resources necessary to reduce 

violent gang crime. Toward this objective, the conference agreement includes an increase of $35,000,000 above the request for 

anti-gang activities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the 

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS

In order to strengthen anti-gang efforts, and in accordance 

with recent Government Accountability Office recommendations, 

the conferees also expect the Attorney General to direct DOJ entities to reexamine and reach consensus on their roles and responsibilities in anti-gang efforts; to develop a Department-wide strategic-level performance measure for anti-gang efforts; and to develop more complete and accurate reporting of gang-related case information by U.S. Attorney Offices. The Department shall report to 

the Committees within 120 days of the enactment of this Act on 

actions taken in response to these GAO recommendations, and presenting a comprehensive spending plan for the additional resources 

provided in this Act linked to Department-wide anti-gang strategic 

objectives. 

Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) inquiry.—The conferees are aware of an ongoing inquiry by OPR regarding Voting 

Rights Act enforcement. The conferees direct the Department to report on the findings of that inquiry, including, if applicable, any 

recommendations for action, at the conclusion of the inquiry. 

Preventing contraband cell phone use in prisons.—The conferees include a directive under the National Telecommunications 

and Information Administration section of this explanatory statement requiring that agency to coordinate with the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and 

the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to develop a plan to investigate and evaluate how wireless jamming, detection and other 

technologies might be utilized for law enforcement and corrections 

applications in Federal and State prison facilities. The conferees 

expect BOP and NIJ to fully cooperate in this effort. 

NATIONAL DRUG INTELLIGENCE CENTER

The conference agreement provides $44,023,000 for the National Drug Intelligence Center. 

JUSTICE INFORMATION SHARING TECHNOLOGY

The conference agreement provides $88,285,000 for Justice Information Sharing Technology. 

Litigation Case Management System (LCMS).—The conference 

agreement does not include funds for the continued deployment of 

LCMS. A reprogramming of funds for LCMS will be considered 

once the Department has completed all of the Inspector General’s 

LCMS recommendations and submitted a report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations detailing the steps taken to 

contain cost and schedule overruns. 

Unified Financial Management System (UFMS).—The Department is directed to submit a list of specific and detailed performance milestones for UFMS development and deployment in fiscal 

year 2010, including dates for planned completion. These milestones should be reported to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations within 120 days of the enactment of this Act, and 

quarterly updates should be provided on the Department’s progress 

in meeting those milestones. 

Cyber security.—The conference agreement includes $27,439,000 to strengthen DOJ’s cyber security program. The Department is urged to exercise discretion in testing cyber security

661 

protections to ensure that all relevant players have been alerted to 

the timing of these tests and to minimize any potential negative 

impact on DOJ employees. 

TACTICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

The conference agreement provides $206,143,000 for Tactical 

Law Enforcement Wireless Communications. 

Integrated Wireless Network (IWN).—The conference agree- ment includes an increase of $21,143,000 for the continued development and deployment of IWN in high priority regions. Consistent 

with direction in the explanatory statement accompanying P.L. 

111–8, all funds for IWN should be spent on the modernization and 

improvement of land mobile radio (LMR) systems. Secure cellular 

or data systems and non-LMR tactical equipment must be budgeted for and requested separately. 

Performance milestone reporting.—The Department is expected 

to continue submitting quarterly reports on the achievement of established performance milestones for the use of IWN funds. These 

reports should reflect the Department’s progress toward each milestone and the extent to which those milestones are being achieved 

within cost, schedule and performance expectations. 

Cross-agency participation.—While supporting the broadest 

possible use of IWN across law enforcement agencies, the conferees 

expect that other agencies using the network will assume the full 

costs of their own participation. 

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AND APPEALS

The conference agreement provides $296,685,000 for Administrative Review and Appeals. 

Personnel and infrastructure increases.—The conference agree- ment includes $24,253,000 for personnel and infrastructure investments needed to efficiently process an increasing immigration adjudication caseload. Of this total, $10,250,000 is for the eWorld document management system to improve the Executive Office of Immigration Review’s (EOIR) ability to store, distribute and archive its 

files. 

Legal Orientation Program (LOP).—The conference agreement includes $6,000,000 for the continued implementation and expansion of the LOP. EOIR is encouraged to seek alien-specific detention costs and duration of detention data from Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement in order to develop a more accurate estimate 

of the cost savings to the Federal government provided by participation in the LOP. 

Within the LOP total, $2,000,000 is provided for programs 

aimed at the custodians of unaccompanied alien children in order 

to address the custodian’s responsibility for the child’s appearance 

at all immigration proceedings and to protect the child from mistreatment, exploitation and trafficking. 

Competency standards.—The explanatory statement accompanying P.L. 111–8 urged EOIR to work with experts and interested parties in developing standards and materials for judges to 

use in conducting competency evaluations of persons appearing in 

immigration court. EOIR is directed to report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 days of the enactVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00665 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

ment of this Act on the status of its efforts to develop this competency bench book. The report should also address the steps DOJ 

has taken to provide safeguards for the rights of aliens judged to 

be mentally incompetent, as required by 8 U.S.C. 1229a(b)(3). 

Fraud program.—EOIR is urged to set written standards and 

criteria for use in judging potentially fraudulent evidence and testimony provided to an immigration court. 

DETENTION TRUSTEE

The conference agreement provides $1,438,663,000 for the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee (OFDT). 

Inadequacy of budget requests.—The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is directed to review OFDT’s methods for projecting population levels, jail day rates and other factors that are 

translated into the annual budget request for detention capacity. 

GAO should make recommendations to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on steps OFDT should take to develop 

more accurate projections of funding requirements no later than 

August 31, 2010. 

Population estimates.—OFDT is directed to report to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations on a quarterly basis the 

number of individuals in the detention system, the projected number of individuals and the annualized costs that are associated with 

them. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement provides $84,368,000 for the Office 

of Inspector General (OIG). 

Grants management.—Within funds provided for audit and 

oversight of grant programs, OIG is urged to include a focus on financial management issues at the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) 

and OJP’s ability to track the disbursement of its appropriations by 

activity.

smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
663 

The conference agreement provides additional resources, as requested, for the Department’s litigation divisions, for which inadequate funding has been proposed in past years. This includes additional resources for the Civil Rights Division to restore its base 

capacity to enforce civil rights laws; expand its capacity to prosecute and provide litigation support for human trafficking and unsolved civil rights era crimes; carry out its responsibilities associated with the civil rights of institutionalized persons and the access 

rights of the disabled; and enhance the enforcement of fair housing 

and fair lending laws. The agreement also includes $5,300,000 

within the total for Human Trafficking and Slavery Prosecution investigation and prosecution, as requested. 

Within the total, not less than $1,800,000 is for the Criminal 

Division to maintain positions provided in the Commerce, Justice, 

Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 

111–8) for attorneys, analysts, and support personnel for the investigation and prosecution of suspected human rights violators from 

foreign countries who have found safe haven in the United States. 

U.S. National Central Bureau.—A September 2009 report from 

the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General identified a 

number of weaknesses in the U.S. National Central Bureau’s 

(USNCB) processes and systems for collecting and disseminating 

international criminal information. The Department is directed to 

address the OIG’s recommendations as soon as possible and to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, regarding the status of its efforts. 

VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION TRUST FUND

The conference agreement provides $7,833,000 for the Vaccine 

Injury Compensation Trust Fund for fiscal year 2010. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, ANTITRUST DIVISION

The conference agreement provides $163,170,000 in budget authority for the Antitrust Division for fiscal year 2010. This appropriation is offset by $102,000,000 in pre-merger filing fee collections, resulting in a direct appropriation of $61,170,000. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS

The conference agreement provides $1,934,003,000 for the salaries and expenses of United States Attorneys (USA) for fiscal year 

2010. The USAs are directed to focus their efforts on those crimes 

for which the unique resources, expertise, or jurisdiction of the 

Federal government can be most effective, and to use the resources 

provided by the conference agreement to address their highest priorities. 

Pro-IP Act.—Within the total amount provided, the conference 

agreement includes an additional $2,000,000 above the request for 

activities authorized under section 402 of the Prioritizing Resources 

and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008 (Public Law 

110–403). 

Child exploitation investigations and prosecutions.—Within the 

total, the conference agreement provides not less than $36,980,000 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
664 

for continued investigations and prosecutions of offenses related to 

the sexual exploitation of children, as authorized by the Adam 

Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Public Law 109– 

248). 

Southwest border enforcement.—Within the funds provided, the 

agreement includes the requested programmatic increase of 

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

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

the southwest border. 

Combating financial fraud.—Within the funds provided, the 

agreement includes the programmatic request of $7,500,000 and 43 

positions to enhance efforts in the areas of mortgage fraud, bankruptcy, affirmative civil enforcement, and white collar crime. 

Prosecution of serious crimes in Indian Country.—Within the 

funds provided, an additional $6,000,000 above the request is provided for the EOUSA to increase the rate of prosecutions of serious 

crime in Indian Country. 

Terrorist recruitment.—The U.S. Attorney for the District of 

Minnesota is urged to continue efforts to help the Somali-American 

community in Minnesota prevent the recruitment of young SomaliAmerican men by terrorist groups to fight in the Somali civil war. 

Human trafficking.—The conferees direct the Executive Office 

of the United States Attorneys to designate a point of contact in 

each USA office to serve as the coordinator for all activities within 

that office concerning human trafficking and slavery matters covered by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Designating a point 

of contact will improve communication and coordination within 

each jurisdiction, including with victim services organizations, in 

order to better serve the victims of human trafficking and slavery. 

UNITED STATES TRUSTEE SYSTEM FUND

The conference agreement provides budget authority of $219,250,000 for the United States Trustee System Fund in fiscal 

year 2010. The reduction of $5,238,000 from the budget request is 

due to a carryover into fiscal year 2010 of prior year funds. The appropriation is offset by $210,000,000 in offsetting fee collections 

and $5,000,000 derived from interest on investments in U.S. securities, resulting in a direct appropriation of $4,250,000. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT COMMISSION

The conference agreement provides $2,117,000 for the Foreign 

Claims Settlement Commission in fiscal year 2010. 

FEES AND EXPENSES OF WITNESSES

The conference agreement provides $168,300,000 for Fees and 

Expenses of Witnesses. 

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE

The conference agreement provides $11,479,000 for the Community Relations Service in fiscal year 2010. As authorized by the 

Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act (Public Law 110– 

344), the conferees direct the Community Relations Service to partner with law enforcement agencies and communities to help resolve 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
665 

conflicts resulting from the investigation of unsolved civil rights era 

cases. 

ASSETS FORFEITURE FUND

The conference agreement provides $20,990,000 for the Assets 

Forfeiture Fund. 

UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $1,125,763,000 for the 

United States Marshals Service (USMS), Salaries and Expenses. 

Sex offender apprehension.—The conference agreement in- cludes an increase of $27,500,000 over the budget request to expand Adam Walsh Act enforcement activities in districts across the 

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

Deputy Marshals have timely, accurate information to track down 

and arrest fugitive sex offenders. 

Immigration enforcement.—The conference agreement includes 

significant new resources to address the enormous workload generated by increased enforcement activity in other agencies and bureaus. The conferees hope that this investment will at least partially alleviate the pressure on other Marshals programs, such as 

fugitive apprehension, now that more dedicated personnel will be 

available to handle the immigration-related caseload. 

Fugitive Task Forces.—The conferees support the Marshals 

Service’s Regional Fugitive Task Forces (RFTFs) and District Task 

Forces programs. The conferees direct the Marshals Service, within 

funds provided, to dedicate at least $20,000,000 to the enhancement of existing task forces and the establishment of new task 

force capabilities in areas of the United States not currently served 

by regional or district task forces. 

Staff sexual abuse.—The conferees are concerned with the findings of the Inspector General that the USMS does not have a program addressing staff sexual abuse in cellblock and transportation 

operations. The conferees expect the Marshals to implement the 

recommendations of the Inspector General expeditiously. 

CONSTRUCTION

The conference agreement provides $26,625,000 for USMS con- struction. Included in this total is $12,625,000 that has been previously provided under the Salaries and Expenses heading. These 

funds should be applied to the highest priority renovation projects 

identified by the Marshals. 

NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $87,938,000 for the National Security Division (NSD). 

National Security Reviews.—NSD is directed to give immediate 

notice to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
666 

any deviations from the current plan to perform 20 National Security Reviews in fiscal year 2010. 

INTERAGENCY LAW ENFORCEMENT

INTERAGENCY CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMENT

The conference agreement provides $528,569,000 for the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces. 

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $7,658,622,000 for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Salaries and Expenses. 

Materials submitted in support of the budget.—The FBI is directed to submit all future budget requests with a listing of enhancement proposals in priority order so that the relative importance of each new initiative can be weighed. A prioritization of enhancements within each end-state capability or grouped into tiers 

will not be sufficient to meet this requirement. 

The request also needs to include more quantifiable descriptions of the end-state capabilities. The conferees understand that 

the Bureau is currently working to develop more discrete and 

quantifiable end states. When this exercise is complete, the newly 

refined end state capabilities should be included in justification 

materials, along with a description of how each new initiative will 

advance the Bureau toward the achievement of an end state. 

Finally, for the fiscal year 2011 process and all future requests, 

the FBI is directed to submit its classified addendum concurrently 

with its unclassified budget justification. 

Hiring challenges.—In order to improve oversight of the FBI’s 

hiring program, the FBI is directed to provide immediately to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a hiring plan for 

direct-funded positions in fiscal year 2010. This plan should show 

on-board start of year staffing, anticipated attrition, planned enhancement hiring, planned vacancy hiring and expected end of year 

vacancies. This data should be supplemented by quarterly reports 

showing the number of direct-funded hires and separations in that 

quarter, as well as a cumulative running total of each. 

Hollow positions.—The FBI is directed to prioritize the filling 

of its 450 existing hollow positions prior to seeking additional new 

positions in any future budget request. In addition, the FBI is directed to notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to taking any action that would divert salary funds 

away from the positions for which they were appropriated, either 

for temporary uses (e.g., equipment purchases) or ongoing needs 

(e.g., pay raise absorption). 

White collar crime.—The conference agreement provides 

$75,158,000, including an increase of $25,491,000 and 50 new 

agents, for mortgage fraud and other economic recovery investigations. 

Civil rights enforcement.—The conference agreement provides 

$54,315,000, including an increase of $8,000,000 over the base, for 

civil rights enforcement. The conferees expect these funds to be 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
667 

used for investigations of human trafficking, hate crimes and cases 

pursued under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Act. 

Intellectual property enforcement.—The conference agreement 

includes an increase of $8,000,000 over the base for new agents to 

investigate intellectual property (IP) cases as authorized under section 402 of the PRO–IP Act (Public Law 110–403). These new 

agents are in addition to the IP-dedicated agents funded in Public 

Law 111–8 and identified in the Department’s 2009 spend plan. 

The Department is directed to provide to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations an expenditure analysis of these 

congressional augmentations to ensure that these agents are solely 

investigating and supporting the criminal prosecution of violations 

of those Federal intellectual property laws cited in the statement 

accompanying Public Law 111–8. The report shall provide an accounting of the agents placed in specific field offices with Computer 

Hacking and Intellectual Property units and the types of intellectual property investigations pursued by these agents. This report 

shall be submitted no later than 120 days after the enactment of 

this Act. 

Gangs and violent crime.—The conference agreement includes 

an increase of $25,000,000 over the base to expand the FBI’s ability 

to confront gangs and violent crime in U.S. communities and in Indian Country through the Safe Streets and Safe Trails task force 

programs. The conferees expect this increased funding to be used 

to expand the resources of existing task forces, and to support the 

creation of at least three new task forces. 

FBI statistics indicate that as much as 80 percent of crime in 

many communities is committed by criminal gangs and nearly 58 

percent of State and local law enforcement agencies report that 

criminal gangs are active within their jurisdiction. The conferees 

expect the Bureau to develop an aggressive, comprehensive and 

unyielding anti-gang program comparable to the successful effort 

against organized crime in the U.S. forty years ago. Within 120 

days of the enactment of this Act, the FBI shall submit a comprehensive report to the Committees on the overall strategy, funding, personnel, and activities of the Bureau’s anti-gang program, 

including the MS–13 National Gang Task force and the Safe 

Streets and Safe Trails task force programs, and the spending 

plans for additional resources provided in this Act. 

Records management.—The conference agreement includes requested funding to continue records indexing and other preparations to make FBI’s case and administrative files universally 

searchable and accessible, and to ensure that they are useful intelligence and investigative tools. 

Overseas Contingency Operations.—The conference agreement 

includes $101,066,000, as requested, for the annualization of FBI’s 

terrorism supplemental funds. 

Next Generation Identification (NGI).—The FBI’s inability to finalize program requirements and a budget and schedule baseline 

for NGI raises the possibility of significant budget overages and 

schedule delays. The FBI is directed to notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to acceptance of any Engineering Change Proposal that will change NGI’s Incremental DeVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00671 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

velopment Plan or the Integrated Master Schedule as they existed 

on April 14, 2009. 

With respect to program scope, the FBI is directed to report to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 

days of the enactment of this Act on the standards the Bureau will 

use to assess the maturity of any biometric indicator being considered for inclusion in NGI. 

National Security Reviews.—The budget justification for the 

National Security Division (NSD) indicates that NSD completed 

fewer National Security Reviews than planned in fiscal year 2008 

because the FBI’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) was busy with 

other requirements and commitments. This seems to imply a resource problem at OGC, despite the FBI having received millions 

of dollars in supplemental funds for the completion of these reviews. If additional resources are required beyond existing remediation dollars, the FBI is urged to identify those needs and request 

sufficient funds in fiscal year 2011. 

Surveillance.—The conference agreement provides $22,000,000 

in addition to requested funds for new personnel to address gaps 

in the FBI’s surveillance program. The conferees direct that no less 

than 75 percent of these additional funds shall be spent on Special 

Surveillance Groups. 

Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative.—Cyber-based 

attacks and intrusions upon U.S. computer networks, many of 

which may be conducted by foreign state sponsors, result in substantial loss of critical intelligence by U.S. government, academia, 

military, industry, financial and other domains. The conferees recognize the FBI’s efforts to address these threats and have included 

the full request of $140,311,000 to fund those efforts. This total includes an additional 260 positions and $61,180,000 to further the 

FBI’s investigatory, intelligence gathering and technological capabilities. 

The Bureau shall submit to the Committees within 120 days 

of the enactment of this Act a report on the FBI’s portion of the 

Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, including program strategy, resources, trends in attacks, sources of attacks, attack notification procedures, and plans for outreach to both public 

and private sector institutions to prevent and deter future attacks. 

Workforce distribution.—Staffing disparities exist between FBI 

field offices that have comparable threat and workload levels and 

comparable populations in their area of responsibility. The conferees encourage the Bureau to consider such disparities when allocating new agents to field offices in fiscal year 2010. 

National security initiatives.—The conferees support the FBI’s 

critical national security efforts to conduct investigations to prevent, disrupt, and deter acts of terrorism, and to continue strengthening relationships with other Federal, State and local partners. In 

addition to providing resources for core FBI national security activities, the conference agreement also provides funds to enhance 

national security initiatives, including for domain and operations, 

surveillance, and strengthening the FBI workforce. 

Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division.—The 

conference agreement includes $651,000,000 for CJIS, including 

$285,000,000 in appropriated funds and $366,000,000 in user fees. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
669 

Biometrics.—The conference agreement includes language to permit the FBI to transfer up to $30,000,000 in prior year fees 

from the Salaries and Expenses account to the Construction account for the Biometrics Technology Center, if determined necessary by the FBI Director. In addition, the FBI is directed to make 

available $23,000,000 in prior year fee collections for information 

technology equipment and infrastructure that is necessary for the 

facility. 

Human rights violations.—The FBI is directed to increase its 

efforts to investigate and support the criminal prosecution of serious human rights crimes committed by foreign nationals now residing in the United States. The conferees direct the use of $1,500,000 

for this purpose and to continue operations of the human rights 

unit at FBI headquarters. 

Innocent Images.—The conference agreement provides a total of $52,723,000 for the Innocent Images National Initiative to address the problem of child sexual exploitation and child victimization. 

Innocence Lost.—The conference agreement provides $5,000,000 over the base to hire additional agents for the Innocence 

Lost Initiative to address child prostitution and domestic sex trafficking in the United States. 

Rescission.—Title V of this Act contains a rescission from the 

FBI Salaries and Expenses account. This rescission should be 

taken against unobligated balances available for carryover from expired annual accounts. 

CONSTRUCTION

The conference agreement provides $239,915,000 for construc- tion. Included in this total is $72,119,000 requested in the Salaries 

and Expenses account for Sensitive Compartmented Information 

Facilities. 

Biometrics Technology Center (BTC).—The conference agree- ment includes $97,600,000, as requested, for the BTC, a joint biometrics facility that will house both the FBI Biometrics Center for 

Excellence and the DOD Biometrics Fusion Center. 

Terrorist Explosive Devices Analytical Center (TEDAC).—The 

conference agreement includes an additional $30,000,000 for the 

continued construction of a new TEDAC facility. 

FBI Academy.—The conference agreement includes $5,000,000 

to begin an architectural and engineering study to determine the 

full scope of renovations and/or construction necessary at the FBI 

Academy. 

DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $2,019,682,000 for the 

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). 

Mobile Enforcement Teams.—The conference agreement includes $5,000,000 above the request to continue reestablishing Mobile Enforcement Teams (MET) in each domestic field office. The 

activities of MET should continue to include a focus on methamphetamine enforcement. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS

Methamphetamine strategy.—DEA is directed to report to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 days 

of the enactment of this Act on the methamphetamine ‘‘smurfing’’ 

enforcement strategy it intends to pursue. The report shall describe 

both the actions DEA can pursue with current enforcement authorities, as well as any legislative changes that might improve 

DEA’s ability to identify and apprehend individuals engaged in 

smurfing. 

BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $1,114,772,000 for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Salaries 

and Expenses. 

Southwest border enforcement.—The conference agreement in- cludes an increase of $17,989,000 in support of ATF’s Project Gunrunner. This brings the total amount available to ATF for weapons 

trafficking along the southwest border to $61,016,000. In order to 

ensure the continued availability of $10,000,000 previously provided for Gunrunner through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), ATF is directed to annualize ARRA Gunrunner 

funds in its fiscal year 2011 request. 

eTrace reconfiguration.—ATF may need to expand and reconfigure eTrace and related systems in order to efficiently find and 

package responses to trace data requests as permitted by the bill 

language associated with this account. If additional resources are 

necessary for this reconfiguration, ATF is encouraged to use the 

Department’s authorities under Public Law 102–140 to access up 

to $8,500,000 of expired prior year funds for this purpose. 

Gangs and violent crime.—Within amounts provided, the con- ference agreement includes an increase of $10,000,000 for ATF’s 

Violent Crime Impact Team (VCIT) program for violent crime and 

gang enforcement. These resources should be used to expand the 

activities of existing VCITs and to establish new VCITs in geographic areas of highest need. 

The conferees expect ATF to coordinate with the FBI and other 

DOJ entities to maximize effectiveness of anti-gang efforts, and to 

report to the Committees within 120 days of the enactment of this 

Act on the spending plans for the additional resources provided in 

this Act for such efforts. 

Conversion of records.—ATF is urged to continue the digital 

conversion and integration of Federal firearms dealer out-of-business records at the National Tracing Center. 

National Integrated Ballistic Information Network.—ATF is 

urged to prioritize the upgrading and replacement of aging ballistic 

imaging equipment in its fiscal year 2010 operating budget and in 

future budget requests. ATF should also ensure that upgrades and 

replacements maximize and protect the resources already invested 

by State and local law enforcement. 

ATF Headquarters.—Within the amounts provided, $1,500,000 

shall be available to complete projects at ATF’s national headquarters that were not completed during construction of that facility.

CONSTRUCTION

The conference agreement provides $6,000,000 for ATF construction. This includes the requested funds for the completion of 

phase two of the National Center for Explosives Research and 

Training. 

FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $6,086,231,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Federal Prison System for fiscal year 2010, 

an increase of $106,400,000 above the budget request. 

Bureau of Prisons appropriations requests.—The Department’s 

appropriations requests for the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) 

have been woefully inadequate over the last several years to meet 

BOP’s basic operational needs. Rather than proposing funding levels based on the marginal costs of expected growth in the inmate 

population, the appropriations requests for BOP appear to hew to 

external, arbitrary limitations. As a result, even when program enhancements are proposed, such as the hiring of new correctional officers and the activation of new prisons, BOP would be unable to 

implement such enhancements were Congress to provide the requested funding level. BOP cannot be expected to operate with arbitrary limitations on funding increases because BOP has relatively 

little control over its primary cost driver, inmate population 

growth. To address the gap between BOP’s operating needs and its 

budget request, the conference agreement provides an additional 

$106,400,000. 

Variation from the funding directives in this statement shall 

be subject to the reprogramming requirements of section 505 of this 

Act. As part of the Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending plan, 

BOP shall propose a distribution of funds by decision unit that incorporates such directives. If additional salaries and expenses funding is required to meet BOP’s operating needs during fiscal year 

2010, the Department is expected to propose supplemental appropriations or transfer funds from outside BOP to meet those needs. 

The Department and BOP are expected to review carefully the 

Government Accountability Office (GAO) recommendations related 

to BOP’s budget formulation methodology and to implement recommendations designed to better ensure that future budget requests are coherently tied to BOP’s operational needs. The conferees expect the budget requests for fiscal year 2011 and future 

years to identify clearly the marginal costs of projected inmate population increases, in both BOP and private facilities, and to include 

those costs as adjustments to BOP’s base budget. More generally, 

the Department and BOP are expected to present future budget requests for BOP in a way that accurately differentiates all non-discretionary cost adjustments to BOP’s base budget requirements 

from program and staffing enhancements. BOP’s fiscal year 2011 

budget request should also provide detailed descriptions of the 

major categories of activities comprising each decision unit and the 

proposed funding levels for each such category, including comparisons to prior year obligations for each category.

672 

Correctional worker staffing.—The current correctional workforce is spread dangerously thin, compromising BOP’s ability to operate the Federal Prison System in a safe and efficient manner and 

undermining efforts to facilitate the successful reentry of inmates 

back into their communities. While BOP used additional resources 

provided by Congress above the budget request in fiscal year 2009 

to hire more than 700 additional correctional workers, substantial 

additional progress must be made to ensure that BOP facilities can 

operate safely and effectively. Therefore, not less than $98,200,000 

of the total salaries and expenses appropriation shall be used only 

for additional correctional worker staffing in fiscal year 2010 and 

for annualizing the cost of correctional workers hired during fiscal 

year 2009. The conferees expect the fiscal year 2011 budget submission to propose fully annualizing the cost of staff hired in fiscal 

year 2010 and to propose additional funding that would enable 

BOP to make significant further progress in increasing its on-board 

correctional worker staffing rate in fiscal year 2011. 

To ensure that BOP’s correctional worker staffing needs are 

clearly defined, the conferees direct BOP to identify, as part of the 

budget requests for fiscal year 2011 and future years, the proposed 

number of authorized positions for each BOP facility in each correctional worker staffing category, along with the on-board staffing 

goals for the coming fiscal year for each facility in each such category, defined as percentages of authorized positions. 

New prison activation.—Of the total amount provided, not less than $36,000,000 shall be used for the activation of FCI McDowell 

and not less than $22,000,000 shall be used for the activation of 

FCI Mendota. Although the budget request proposed the full activation of these facilities in fiscal year 2010, BOP has stated that 

various delays will prevent their full activation as scheduled. The 

amounts provided by the conference agreement for these activations are based on BOP’s most current estimates of the maximum 

amount it could obligate in fiscal year 2010. The conferees direct 

BOP to provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, an updated construction and activation schedule for new BOP facilities, and to notify 

formally the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of 

any deviations from this schedule, including detailed explanations 

of the causes of delays and actions proposed to address them. 

Federal Prison System population.—The conferees urge the Department and BOP to consider evidence-based policy changes that 

BOP could make under its current statutory authorities that would 

help it responsibly manage its offender population while reducing 

recidivism, improving public safety, and reducing future costs to 

the American taxpayer. In addition, the conferees direct the National Institute of Corrections to estimate the effects of potential 

reforms on the Federal prison population, and to provide a report 

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations describing 

those estimated effects by September 30, 2010. 

Inmate reentry and Second Chance Act implementation.—The 

conference agreement includes $13,778,000 for BOP’s Inmate Skills 

Development initiative and other Second Chance Act activities, as 

proposed by the Department. Because BOP has indicated that approximately $75,000,000 is required to implement fully its Second 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
673 

Chance Act responsibilities, the conferees expect the Department to 

propose significant additional funding for this purpose in the fiscal 

year 2011 budget request, including significant additional funding 

for the enhanced use of Residential Reentry Centers (RRC) as part 

of a comprehensive prisoner reentry strategy. The conferees also 

urge BOP to make appropriate use of home confinement when considering how to provide reentering offenders with up to 12 months 

in community corrections. In addition, the conferees direct BOP to 

report quarterly on the average length of stay in community corrections, differentiated by average lengths of stay in RRCs and home 

confinement. 

Within the amount provided for salaries and expenses, the conference agreement provides sufficient resources to allow BOP to 

meet the drug abuse treatment needs of all eligible inmates, as required by law. The conferees direct BOP to notify immediately the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations if any unforeseen 

factors are expected to prevent BOP from meeting this requirement. The conferees expect BOP to make significant progress in 

filling all authorized staff positions for drug abuse treatment programs and education programs. To the greatest extent possible, 

BOP shall prioritize the participation of nonviolent offenders in the 

Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP) in a way that 

maximizes the benefit of sentence reduction opportunities for reducing the inmate population. 

In addition, as part of RDAP, the conferees encourage BOP to 

conduct a pilot initiative on the use of anti-craving medications as 

a component of drug abuse treatment. Such an initiative should 

continue the use of anti-craving medications through an offender’s 

period of confinement in community corrections and period of supervised release. The conferees expect BOP to collaborate on any 

such initiative with the National Institute of Drug Abuse, which is 

currently supporting a research study on the effectiveness of anticraving medication on probationers and parolees. 

As part of its portion of the Department’s fiscal year 2010 

spending plan, BOP shall delineate the funding to be provided for 

each of its programs and activities related to inmate reentry and 

Second Chance Act implementation, including inmate drug abuse 

treatment programs, inmate education and vocational training programs, and all other programs and activities designed to facilitate 

offender reentry. As part of the fiscal year 2011 budget submission, 

the conferees direct the Department and BOP to include a detailed 

description of the coordinated prisoner reentry strategy required by 

the Second Chance Act, along with the estimated costs of full implementation of that strategy in fiscal year 2011. 

In addition, to ensure that BOP is benefiting from outside expertise and viewpoints, the conferees direct BOP to convene an 

independent panel to make recommendations for future options for 

the development of prisoner reentry programs, including options related to the role of faith-based and community programs. The report of this panel shall be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 days of enactment of this 

Act. 

The conferees direct GAO to evaluate BOP’s strategic approach 

to budgeting for its inmate reentry programs and activities, includVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00677 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

ing community corrections and programs and activities related to 

BOP’s Second Chance Act responsibilities. GAO shall provide recommendations to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by June 30, 2010, on how BOP should adapt its budgeting 

processes to carry out more effectively an inmate reentry strategy 

and fully implement the provisions of the Second Chance Act that 

apply to BOP. 

Counterterrorism activities.—Within the amount provided, not less than $14,200,000 is for the full estimated cost of BOP’s 

counterterrorism activities, including the monitoring and translation of the communications of incarcerated terrorists and the dissemination of information, as appropriate, to law enforcement 

agencies. These activities have been partially funded through supplemental appropriations in previous fiscal years. 

Sexual misconduct.—Using funds provided in prior fiscal years, 

the National Institute of Corrections has made useful progress in 

helping State and local correctional systems throughout the country reduce staff sexual misconduct with inmates. By providing 

training in investigating cases and training the ‘‘trainers,’’ NIC is 

helping to ensure that employees at every level will be more aware 

of, and better prepared to deal with, these cases. 

At the Federal level, a September 2009 report by the Department’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found that BOP has 

not established appropriate goals and oversight mechanisms for its 

programs to prevent and respond to sexual abuse of inmates by 

staff. In addition, the OIG report found that BOP’s staff training 

programs need to be updated, that some inmate victims have not 

been referred for psychological and medical assessments, and that 

officials at some BOP facilities have implemented policies to safeguard prisoners, such as segregation and transfer, which may serve 

as a disincentive for some prisoners to report abuse. The OIG report makes several recommendations designed to address these and 

other issues, upon which the conferees urge BOP to act as soon as 

possible. 

Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary.—The 

conferees direct BOP to ensure that the Administrative Maximum 

United States Penitentiary, also known as ‘‘Supermax,’’ has adequate funding to retain staff levels necessary to provide strict oversight of prisoner activities and communications; ensure the safety 

of prison staff; and make needed upgrades to its security infrastructure. 

Reimbursement for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees.—The conferees direct the Attorney General to work 

cooperatively with the Secretary of the Department of Homeland 

Security to transfer expeditiously ICE detainees who are currently 

housed in the Federal Prison System, or to obtain prompt and fair 

reimbursement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

for the costs of incarcerating them. 

National Institute of Corrections.—To address deficiencies identified by the U.S. Census Bureau in the reporting of inmate address information, the conferees encourage the National Institute of 

Corrections to work with State corrections agencies to develop better procedures and systems for collecting and maintaining corrections records. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
675 

Stun lethal fences.—BOP correctional officers have expressed 

concerns about the use of ‘‘stun lethal’’ fences at BOP facilities in 

lieu of correctional officers in perimeter towers. The conferees direct BOP to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, on the 

reliability and effectiveness of these fences. 

Incarceration of low security criminal alien offenders.—The 

conferees direct BOP to submit a report, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, on its long term strategy for minimizing the cost 

of incarcerating low security criminal alien offenders, including an 

assessment of the potential for closed military facilities, closed 

State prisons, or other existing facilities to be converted to low security prisons operated by BOP. 

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

The conference agreement provides $99,155,000 for fiscal year 

2010 for the construction, modernization, maintenance, and repair 

of prison and detention facilities housing Federal inmates. 

Modernization and repair.—Of the total amount provided for 

Buildings and Facilities, not less than $73,769,000 is for modernization and repair (M&R) activities. The conferees direct BOP to 

provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, itemizing all 

pending M&R projects for Federal prison facilities, specifying when 

each project was first identified and estimating the cost associated 

with each project. The conferees also direct BOP to provide an updated M&R backlog list as part of its fiscal year 2011 budget request. In addition, the conferees expect the Department to propose 

sufficient funding in the fiscal year 2011 budget proposal to begin 

to address seriously BOP’s M&R backlog. 

Construction.—The Department is expected to ensure that the 

fiscal year 2011 budget proposal for BOP contains sufficient resources for BOP to, at a minimum, stay on track with its current 

plan to construct and activate new prisons. 

LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES, FEDERAL PRISON

INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

The conference agreement provides a limitation on administrative expenses of $2,700,000 for Federal Prison Industries, Incorporated. 

The Department is urged to explore new program models, and 

to seek new funding and authorities, as necessary, to create additional inmate work and training programs that prepare inmates for 

successful reentry into the community. The Department shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 

120 days of enactment of this Act, a plan describing such options 

for increasing inmate work opportunities. 

STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES

In total, the conference agreement provides $3,706,959,000 for 

State and local law enforcement and crime prevention grant programs for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $479,859,000 above the 

fiscal year 2009 funding level. The conferees direct the Department 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
676 

to work closely with recipients of congressionally-designated funding to ensure that funded projects are consistent with authorized 

criminal justice purposes and goals, and to provide appropriate 

management and oversight of each grant. No administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from funding for congressionally-designated projects. In addition, no grant funding shall be used for 

luxury items, real estate, or construction projects. 

OFFICE ON VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PREVENTION AND PROSECUTION

Total .................................................................................. 418,500,000 

Note.—The conference agreement does not provide funding through OVW for programs requested in the President’s budget that were funded through this account in fiscal year 2009 but 

are administered by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). For fiscal year 2010, funding for each 

of these OJP-administered programs is appropriated directly to OJP at the fiscal year 2009 

level. For programs administered by OVW, the total is an increase of $29,500,000 above the fiscal year 2009 funding level. 

Several programs requested in the budget that received funding through this appropriation in fiscal year 2009 are funded under 

the conference agreement through the Office of Justice Programs 

(OJP) because they are administered by OJP. These include: the 

CASA Special Advocates program; the Training for Judicial Personnel program; the Stalking Database program; the Research on 

Violence Against Women program; and Training Programs to Assist Probation and Parole Officers. The conference agreement provides funding through OJP for each of these programs at the fiscal 

year 2009 level. For grants and programs administered directly by 

OVW, the conference agreement provides $29,500,000 more than 

the budget request and the fiscal year 2009 level.

nity in the United States. For 15 years, Violence Against Women 

Act (VAWA) programs have supported community efforts around 

the Nation to respond effectively to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. In the 109th Congress, Congress unanimously passed a VAWA reauthorization to continue 

successful programs and create targeted new programs to address 

gaps in prevention services and better meet the needs of youth, native women, communities of color, and victims of sexual violence. 

In light of the frequent connection between violence against women 

and a variety of social ills, such as homelessness and substance 

abuse, the VAWA reauthorization also sought to address housing, 

healthcare, criminal justice, employment and other social needs of 

victims. Because violence against women is often associated with 

other types of crime, such as gang violence, child abuse, and trafficking, the Department and OVW are encouraged to work together 

to address the intersection of these crimes. 

Addressing violence against Native women.—While it is estimated that American Indian women are victimized at more than 

double the rate of any other population of women in the United 

States, not a single comprehensive study of rates of violence 

against this group has been conducted. In addition, the lack of a 

tribal protection order and sex offender registry prevents tribes 

from accessing information that could prevent future violence. 

Through OVW and the Office of Justice Programs, the conference 

agreement includes funding to document the extent and nature of 

violence against Native women and to establish a tribal registry to 

enhance enforcement of tribal protection orders and the monitoring 

of sex offenders. 

Safe start.—Funding requested through OVW for the Safe 

Start program is not provided through OVW because Safe Start is 

administered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 

Prevention, within the Office of Justice Programs. The conference 

agreement instead recommends funding for Safe Start through the 

Juvenile Justice appropriation. 

Jessica Gonzales victim assistance program.—Support for victim assistants who act as liaisons between local law enforcement 

agencies and victims of domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking remains an eligible purpose under the STOP Violence Against Women formula grant program. 

Training, technical assistance, research and statistics.—As part 

of the Department’s spending plan for fiscal year 2010, OVW shall 

provide details on its planned training and technical assistance 

(T&TA) activities and research and statistics activities. The spending plan shall differentiate those activities performed via grant, cooperative agreement, interagency agreement, under contract, and 

performed directly by OVW. As part of the fiscal year 2011 budget 

submission, the conferees direct OVW to provide similar details on 

its planned T&TA activities and research and statistics activities 

for fiscal year 2011. 

Management and administration.—The conference agreement 

maintains the salaries and expenses account structure established 

in the fiscal year 2009 Act to fund the management and administrative costs of OVW and other Justice Department grant proVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00681 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

grams. No administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from 

the programs funded from this account. 

OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS

Training, technical assistance, research and statistics.—The Office of Justice Programs (OJP), as part of the Department’s spending plan for fiscal year 2010, shall provide details of its planned 

training and technical assistance (T&TA) activities and research 

and statistics activities. The spending plan shall differentiate those 

activities performed via grant, cooperative agreement, interagency 

agreement, under contract, and performed directly by OJP. In addition, the conferees direct OJP, as part of the Department’s fiscal 

year 2011 budget submission, to provide details of its planned 

T&TA activities and research and statistics activities for fiscal year 

2011. 

Evidence-based programs.—To the greatest extent practicable, 

OJP shall ensure that competitive grants are used for evidencebased programs and activities. 

Services for victims of rape.—An estimated one in six women 

in the United States will experience a sexual assault in her lifetime, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation ranks rape as the 

second most violent crime, second only to murder. The Department 

of Justice is encouraged to continue supporting programs, including 

hotline programs, which facilitate the delivery of confidential recovery services to rape victims. 

JUSTICE ASSISTANCE

The conference agreement provides $235,000,000 for Justice 

Assistance programs for fiscal year 2010, as follows: 

Program Conference 

National Institute of Justice ................................................................. $48,000,000 

Bureau of Justice Statistics .................................................................. 60,000,000

Missing and Exploited Children ........................................................... 70,000,000 

Total ............................................................................................. 235,000,000 

Regional information sharing.—Within the amount provided 

for RISS, funds shall be available to support existing local-to-local 

law enforcement data and information sharing efforts focused on 

solving routine crimes, especially in rural areas, by sharing law enforcement information not categorized as criminal intelligence. 

Funded projects will conform with national standards, priorities, 

and goals articulated by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. 

Missing and exploited children.—The conference agreement 

does not prescribe a distribution of funds for missing and exploited 

children programs, except that $30,000,000 shall be available for 

the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force program. BJA 

shall provide a plan for the use of the remainder of the funds to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as part of the 

Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending plan.

ment of standards and standard reference materials at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Office of Law 

Enforcement Standards to maintain quality and proficiency within 

Federal, State, and local crime laboratory facilities. NIJ shall provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a plan 

for the use of the remainder of NIJ’s appropriation as part of the 

Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending plan. 

Hate crimes.—The conferees direct BJA to assess the feasibility 

and associated costs of establishing a national helpline for victims 

of hate crimes. In addition, the conferees direct NIJ to evaluate 

trends in hate crimes against new immigrants, individuals who are 

perceived to be immigrants, and Hispanic-Americans, and to assess 

the underlying causes behind any increase in hate crimes against 

such groups. 

Collaboration among State corrections, alcohol and drug abuse, 

and mental health program directors.—The conferees encourage 

BJA to continue working with the Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration to foster collaboration among the 

Association of State Corrections Administrators, the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors, and the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors. 

National missing and unidentified persons system.—The conferees encourage NIJ to continue to support its on-line database 

containing information about unidentified decedents and missing 

persons. In addition, as allowable by law and as appropriate, NIJ 

is encouraged to explore the sharing of data between NIJ’s database and other relevant databases, including that of the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC), to better facilitate the 

identification of unidentified decedents and missing persons. 

STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE

The conference agreement provides $1,534,768,000 for State 

and Local Law Enforcement Assistance programs for fiscal year 

2010. This account includes funding for several programs administered by the Office of Justice Programs that were funded for fiscal 

year 2009 through the Office on Violence Against Women or the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. The total amount is 

distributed as follows:

Edward Byrne memorial justice assistance grant program.— 

The conference agreement provides $519,000,000 for activities 

under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) 

program. When excluding one-time fiscal year 2009 costs for reimbursement to State and local governments for security and other 

expenses related to the presidential transition and inauguration, 

the funding level for this account is equal to the fiscal year 2009 

level and the request. Within the amount provided, $3,000,000 is 

for intelligence training for State and local law enforcement entities and $5,000,000 is for the National Institute of Justice to help 

local units of government identify, select, develop, modernize, and 

purchase new technologies for use by law enforcement. Except for 

the activities noted above, the conference agreement does not provide funding under this heading for activities proposed under this 

heading in the House or Senate Committee reports. 

Crime reporting transition rule.—The September 30, 2008, expiration of the crime reporting ‘‘transition rule’’ established by 42 

U.S.C. 3755(d)(2)(B) resulted in approximately 1,000 communities 

falling out of eligibility for Byrne-JAG direct local awards. A number of these communities have high crime rates and many were reportedly unaware that, effective October 1, 2008, compliance with 

State crime reporting requirements no longer ensured compliance 

with Byrne-JAG reporting requirements. The conferees encourage 

these communities to come into compliance with current ByrneJAG reporting requirements and direct the Department of Justice 

to collect, process, and validate reporting information as expeditiously as possible in order to ensure the future eligibility of these 

communities. 

Byrne discretionary grants.—The conference agreement provides $185,268,000 for Byrne discretionary grants to prevent crime, 

improve the criminal justice system, provide victims’ services, and 

other related activities. The following table details funding for congressionally designated projects, which the bill incorporates by reference:

Byrne competitive grants.—The conference agreement includes $40,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed grants to programs of 

national significance to prevent crime, improve the administration 

of justice or assist victims of crime. The conferees do not concur 

with recommendations in the Senate Committee report for allocating these funds for particular programs, projects or activities. 

OJP shall submit a plan, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, 

detailing the criteria and methodology that will be used to award 

grants. The conferees expect national programs that have previously received funding under the Byrne discretionary program or 

the Juvenile Justice Part E program, and programs for which specific funding is designated in this Act, to be eligible to compete for 

funding under this competitive grant program. 

State criminal justice reform and recidivism reduction.—The 

conference agreement provides $10,000,000 for technical assistance, 

incentive grants, and other activities in support of comprehensive, 

evidence-based criminal justice reform and recidivism reduction efforts by States. 

John R. Justice grants.—The conference agreement provides $10,000,000 pursuant to section 952 of Public Law 110–315, which 

authorizes student loan repayment assistance for State and local 

prosecutors and public defenders, as well as Federal public defenders, to complement existing student loan repayment options for 

Federal prosecutors. The John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive program addresses the serious problems prosecutor 

and public defender offices across the country face in recruiting and 

retaining qualified attorneys. 

Tribal assistance.—The conferees encourage OJP to assist 

tribes in building their capacity to plan and develop effective criminal justice programs and initiatives, and to prioritize assistance to 

tribes with the greatest needs. The conferees also encourage OJP 

to expand its efforts to provide voluntary training for tribal court 

officials and judges to promote improvements in tribal judicial systems. In addition, the conferees direct OJP to coordinate with the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Department of the Interior in developing a priority list for detention facility construction, targeting 

tribal areas with the greatest need, and to incorporate that priority 

system into the ranking criteria for detention facility grants. 

Victims of trafficking.—The conference agreement includes 

$12,500,000 for services for U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and 

foreign nationals who are victims of human trafficking, and for 

task force activities. OJP shall provide a plan for the use of these 

funds to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as 

part of the Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending plan. 

Drug courts.—To facilitate the use of State clinical treatment 

standards, discourage system fragmentation, promote sustainability, and encourage the use of common client level performance 

and outcomes data, the conferees strongly encourage collaboration 

between drug courts and State agencies that oversee substance 

abuse prevention and treatment services. 

Justice for all, capital litigation review/wrongful conviction review.—Of the amount provided, $2,500,000 is made available for 

capital litigation grants to improve the quality of representation 

and the reliability of verdicts in local and State capital cases 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
700 

through training for prosecutors, defense counsel and trial judges. 

Also within the amount provided, $3,000,000 is for competitive 

grants to public and non-profit entities that work to exonerate individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. 

Economic, high-tech and cybercrime prevention.—As part of the 

Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending plan, OJP is directed to 

provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a 

plan for the use of the funds provided for economic, high tech, and 

cybercrime prevention grants. 

Second Chance Act.—The conference agreement provides $100,000,000 for activities authorized under the Second Chance Act 

of 2007 (Public Law 110–199) to reduce criminal recidivism, which 

is $75,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal 

to the request. Of the total, $37,000,000 is for Adult and Juvenile 

Offender Reentry Demonstration Grants; $10,000,000 is for State, 

tribal and local reentry courts; $7,500,000 is for family-based substance abuse treatment, including family-based programs for the 

incarcerated parents of minor children; $2,500,000 is to evaluate 

and improve education at prisons, jails, and juvenile facilities; 

$5,000,000 is for technology careers training demonstration grants; 

$13,000,000 is for offender reentry substance abuse and criminal 

justice collaboration; $15,000,000 is for grants for mentoring and 

transitional services, as authorized by Section 211 of Public Law 

110–199; and $10,000,000 is for prisoner reentry research. The conference agreement authorizes the Attorney General to waive the 

matching requirements for Adult and Juvenile Reentry Demonstration Projects grants awarded in fiscal year 2010 based on determinations of fiscal hardship. 

National technical assistance and training.—The conferees encourage the Department to support efforts to assist States in the 

development and use of criminal justice information systems that 

accelerate the automation of identification processes for fingerprints and other criminal justice data, and which improve the compatibility of State and local law enforcement systems with the 

FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. 

Solving cold cases with DNA.—The conferees recognize the 

need of State and local governments for resources to identify, review, investigate and prosecute violent crime cold cases that may 

be solved using DNA analysis and to locate and analyze biological 

evidence associated with these cases. Advances in DNA technology 

and the success of DNA database systems have substantially increased the successful analysis of aged, degraded, limited or otherwise compromised biological evidence. As a result, crime scene 

samples once thought to be unsuitable for testing may now yield 

DNA profiles. Additionally, samples that previously generated inconclusive DNA results may now be successfully analyzed using 

newer methods. The conferees expect both the Office of Justice Programs and the National Institute of Justice to continue supporting 

State and local law enforcement efforts to investigate and prosecute 

violent crime cold cases, including those from the civil rights era 

to support the goals of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights 

Crime Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–344). 

National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS).— 

The conferees affirm House report language on the National Motor 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
701 

Vehicle Title Information System, and understand that the Department recently provided fiscal year 2009 funds for NMVTIS to make 

system enhancements and assist participation by States. The conferees encourage OJP to continue to work with the system operator 

in fiscal year 2010. 

Legal advocacy for crime victims.—The conferees note that a 

multiyear, national demonstration project, funded through the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), to improve the capacity of attorneys to represent victims in the enforcement of their rights ended 

in 2009, and that a preliminary evaluation concluded that the 

project’s clinics ‘‘are on the road to fulfilling the intentions of their 

architects and funders.’’ The conferees strongly encourage OVC to 

continue to support efforts to provide legal counsel and support 

services for crime victims, and expand awareness and recognition 

of victims’ rights.

Youth mentoring grants.—To support the critical work of national, regional and local organizations in nurturing and mentoring 

at-risk children and youth, the conference agreement provides 

$100,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed youth mentoring 

grants. Within 60 days of enactment of this Act, OJP is directed 

to provide a report and spending plan to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations detailing the criteria and methodology that will be used to award these grants. The conferees expect 

that OJJDP will take all steps necessary to ensure fairness and objectivity in the award of these and future competitive grants. It is 

expected that national programs that have received funding under 

the Byrne discretionary grants program or the Juvenile Justice 

Part E program will be eligible for funding under this competitive 

grant program, including programs for which specific amounts are 

designated in this Act. 

Safe Start.—The conference agreement provides $5,000,000 for 

the Safe Start Initiative, which helps prevent and reduce the impact of children’s exposure to violence in both the home and the 

community, as a distinct Juvenile Justice appropriation. The Senate Committee report had proposed funding for this program under 

the Part B State formula appropriation, while the Department had 

proposed funding for this program through the Office on Violence 

Against Women. 

Victims of Child Abuse Act.—Within the $22,500,000 provided 

for Victims of Child Abuse Act programs, the conference agreement 

designates $5,000,000 for regional children’s advocacy centers programs. 

Mental health services for youth in foster care.—When developing and implementing programs related to children in foster care 

or who have been adopted from foster care, OJJDP is encouraged 

to work with the Administration for Children and Families at the 

Department of Health and Human Services and non-profit organizations with expertise on the mental health needs of such children. 

Child exploitation prevention and interdiction.—The Attorney 

General is urged to designate a senior departmental official to coordinate the development of a national strategy for child exploitation prevention and interdiction, as directed by the Protect Our 

Children Act (Public Law 110–401). 

PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICER BENEFITS

The conference agreement provides $70,100,000 for Public 

Safety Officer Benefits programs for fiscal year 2010. Within funds 

provided, $61,000,000 is for death benefits for survivors, an amount 

estimated by the Congressional Budget Office that is considered 

mandatory for scorekeeping purposes. In addition, $9,100,000 is 

provided, as requested, for disability benefits for public safety officers who are permanently and totally disabled as a result of a catastrophic injury, and for education benefits for the spouses and children of officers who are killed in the line of duty or who are permanently and totally disabled as a result of a catastrophic injury sustained in the line of duty.

Law enforcement technologies and interoperable communications.—The conference agreement provides $170,223,000 for grants 

for State, local, and tribal law enforcement to develop and acquire 

effective technologies and interoperable communications that assist 

in the prevention of and response to crime. COPS is directed to ensure that all equipment funded under this program meets applicable requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES). Within the funds provided, $1,500,000 shall be transferred to 

NIST to continue the efforts of OLES in developing a comprehensive suite of minimum standards for law enforcement communications, including the development of conformance and interoperability test standards for the Project 25 Inter-RF-Subsystem Interface (ISSI), Console Interface, and Fixed Station Interface for land 

mobile radio systems. These funds should also be used to begin the 

development of standards for emerging technologies such as VoIP 

applications for public safety operations. In addition, these funds 

should be used to support the development and implementation of 

a compliance assessment program to ensure that communications 

equipment purchased with Federal funds is compliant with existing, applicable standards.

Methamphetamine enforcement and clean-up.—The conference 

agreement provides $40,385,000 for activities to address public 

safety and methamphetamine manufacturing, sale, and use in ‘‘hot 

spots.’’ Within the funds provided, $10,000,000 is for transfer to the 

Drug Enforcement Administration to assist State, local and tribal 

law enforcement agencies with the proper removal and disposal of 

hazardous materials at clandestine methamphetamine labs, including funds for training, technical assistance, a container program, 

and purchase of equipment. Also within the total is $5,000,000 for 

tribal methamphetamine enforcement activities. COPS shall consult with tribal governments on the distribution of these funds to 

ensure that they are targeted to areas with the greatest need.

DNA analysis grants.—The conference agreement provides $161,000,000 for grants to strengthen State and local government 

DNA collection and analysis systems, which can be vital to successfully prosecuting the guilty and protecting the innocent from 

wrongful conviction. Within the funds provided, $151,000,000 is for 

Debbie Smith DNA backlog reduction grants; $5,000,000 is for 

post-conviction DNA testing grants; and $5,000,000 is for Sexual 

Assault Nurse Examiner programs. 

Bulletproof vests.—Within the amount provided for bulletproof vests, $1,500,000 is for the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology’s Office of Law Enforcement Standards to continue supporting the ballistic and stab-resistant material compliance testing 

programs. 

Child sexual predator elimination/sex offender management.— Of the amount provided for assistance to State, tribal, and local 

law enforcement to locate, arrest, and prosecute child sexual predators and exploiters, and to enforce sex offender registration laws, 

$1,000,000 is for the National Sex Offender Public Website and 

$11,000,000 is for the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking for sex offender 

management assistance activities. The conferees expect the Department to target assistance to tribal and other law enforcement entities with the greatest needs. 

Child sexual predator elimination grants help State and local 

law enforcement entities target sexual predators who prey upon 

children, including convicted sex-offenders who fail to register. 

Grants to support these efforts should be awarded in a manner 

that is geographically balanced, facilitates testing the model in various settings, and includes major urban police departments, State 

and tribal law enforcement agencies, smaller jurisdictions, and regional groupings of agencies. COPS is encouraged to continue coordinating with the National Center for Missing and Exploited 

Children to assist grant recipients in detecting, apprehending, and 

prosecuting sex offenders who victimize children. 

The conferees support the establishment of coordinated sexual 

predator elimination efforts in communities across the country, and 

recommend the appointment of an Assistant U.S. Attorney and a 

deputy U.S. Marshal in each judicial district to help coordinate the 

development of a comprehensive, district-wide child sexual predator investigation and prosecution strategy, in consultation with social services providers and partners from Federal, State and local 

law enforcement agencies. 

Community policing development.—The conference agreement 

provides $12,000,000 for community policing development activities, including training and technical assistance and the Police Integrity Initiative. 

Training, technical assistance, research and statistics.—As part 

of the Department’s spending plan for fiscal year 2010, COPS is directed to provide details on its planned training and technical assistance (T&TA) activities and research and statistics activities. 

The spending plan shall differentiate those activities performed via 

grant, cooperative agreement, interagency agreement, under contract, and performed directly by COPS. As part of the fiscal year 

2011 budget submission, COPS is directed to provide similar deVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00746 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

To achieve greater transparency, efficiency, and accountability 

in the management, administration and oversight of grant programs administered by the Department of Justice, Congress established a new salaries and expenses account for fiscal year 2009 

within State and Local Law Enforcement Activities to fund the 

management and administration costs of the Department’s grant 

programs. A total of $213,388,000 is provided for salaries and expenses for Department of Justice grant programs for fiscal year 

2010, including $139,218,000 for the Office of Justice Programs 

(OJP); $37,462,000 for the Office of Community Oriented Policing 

Services (COPS); and $15,708,000 for the Office on Violence 

Against Women (OVW). 

The conferees expect all activities related to the management 

and administration of grant programs, grants, and cooperative 

agreements—including activities related to peer review—to be supported with salaries and expenses funding. Training and technical 

assistance (T&TA) activities and research and statistics activities 

performed by OJP, OVW, and COPS, or through interagency agreements or under contract for OJP, OVW, and COPS, may be supported with program funds, subject to the submission of details related to these costs in the Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending 

plan. 

Within the funds provided, $21,000,000 shall be made available to the Office of Audit, Assessment, and Management (OAAM). 

The conferees expect OAAM to continue to develop its capacity to 

evaluate, in coordination with the National Institute of Justice, the 

effectiveness of programs and projects funded by OJP, OVW, and 

COPS, using rigorous research and evaluation methods that generate valid evidence on the effectiveness of crime prevention strategies.

TITLE III 

SCIENCE 

OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY

The conference agreement provides $7,000,000 for the Office of 

Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), of which not to exceed 

$2,500 may be for official reception and representation expenses 

and rental of conference rooms. The conferees agree with the direction of the House that OSTP, working with NOAA, NASA, NSF, 

USGS, the Department of Energy, and other federal agencies shall 

develop a plan for achieving and sustaining Earth observations. 

OSTP exists to bring to the President timely recommendations 

for decisions with substantial scientific and technical content. 

OSTP must take leadership, particularly when issues involve multiple agencies as they do for climate observations, climate change 

adaptations, and civil and military environmental observation systems. Specifically, decisions are long past due for the restructuring 

of NPOESS management and the provision of appropriately increased funding to complete this system deployment, which teeters 

once again on the brink of crisis. In addition, the Administration 

is expected to put forward a plan to create a National Climate 

Service. The Nation needs a capability to gather, synthesize and 

distribute critical information to regions, States, and local governments as they plan for and adapt to climate change. Both cases require leadership and decision-making, assignment of responsibility 

for implementation, and oversight of all relevant agencies in 

achieving the integrated mission. 

GLOBE.—The conferees are concerned that the interagency 

GLOBE program, a hands-on primary and secondary school-based 

environmental science and education program, does not receive sufficient financial or management support. Accordingly, the conferees 

provide $3,000,000 within NASA and $3,000,000 within NOAA for 

the GLOBE program. The conferees direct the Office of Science and 

Technology Policy to conduct a thorough review of the program and 

to report within 60 days of enactment of this Act on recommendations to improve the program’s viability. The report shall include 

an examination of the merits of transitioning responsibility for the 

program from NASA to NOAA. The conferees expect that any recommendations will be incorporated into the fiscal year 2011 budget 

request. 

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

AGENCY SUMMARY

The conferees remain concerned about NASA’s management of 

its budget, as well as its financial recordkeeping and reporting. Reports and findings of the General Accounting Office and the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations continue to reveal a pattern of lax fiscal management and oversight, ranging from the administration of enhanced use lease receipts, insufficient evidentiary 

support for amounts in NASA’s budget execution data, improper 

execution of its authority in the construction program, and increasing numbers of contract awards being protested. Accordingly, the 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
746 

conferees have taken several steps to assist NASA in improving its 

fiscal management. The conference agreement: • consolidates all programmatic and institutional construction and environmental compliance and remediation activities 

into a new account, for which the period of availability is five 

years; • subjects annual expenditures planned from the collection 

of enhanced use lease receipts to an annual appropriations limitation first enacted in fiscal year 2009; • fully funds center administrative activities in the consolidated Cross Agency Support account, realigning the remaining FTE currently charged to programmatic accounts; • directs NASA to include in its annual budget justifications the reserve amount assumed by the agency to be necessary for the program and the amount actually proposed for 

each directorate, theme, program, project and activity, or if the 

proposed funding level is based on confidence level budgeting, 

the confidence level assumed in the proposed funding level; • directs NASA to cooperate fully and to provide timely 

program analysis and evaluation data to the GAO to permit 

the GAO to meet the Congressional mandate on major systems 

reporting; • directs NASA to include in its monthly financial reports 

beginning February 1, 2010, and the 15th day of each month 

thereafter, data on budget authority, outlays, unobligated balances, and recoveries presented by appropriation, theme, program or project for each directorate, theme, program, project 

and activity, as delineated in the House report; • directs NASA to include in its fiscal year 2011 budget 

request and each budget request thereafter an accounting of 

civil service expense requirements, including FTE estimates, 

requested for each directorate, theme, program, project and activity; and • directs NASA to report within 60 days of enactment of 

this Act on actions the agency will take to improve financial 

management and to ensure integrity of the procurement process in an effort to reduce increasing numbers of contract award 

protests. 

While the conference report does not adopt the position proposed by the House to limit appropriations available to NASA for 

one year while providing an allowance of ten percent for two years 

to reflect the research and development nature of the work performed, the conferees will continue to monitor NASA’s efforts to improve its obligation rate with commensurate improvements in accrual of costs and outlays to determine if the House’s proposal warrants further consideration. 

Summary funding provided for NASA is delineated more fully 

in the table below and in the account summaries.

SCIENCE

The conference agreement provides $4,469,000,000 for science. 

Funds provided herein are available for two years to conduct and 

support science research and development activities, including research, development, operations, support and services; maintenance; space flight, spacecraft control, and communications activities; program management; personnel and related costs; travel expenses; purchase and hire of passenger motor vehicles; and purchase, lease, charter, maintenance, and operation of mission and 

administrative aircraft. Funds for construction of facilities, including repair, renovation of existing facilities, construction of new facilities, facility planning and design, and for environmental compliance and restoration are provided in a separate, new account, as 

proposed by the House. 

Earth science, other missions and data analysis.—The conference agreement provides $201,300,000 for Earth science, other 

missions and data analysis. An increase of $15,000,000 is provided 

above the request to advance further the studies of the next two 

decadal survey missions, the Climate Absolute Radiance and 

Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) and the Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of the Ice (DESDnyI). 

The conferees are concerned about the limited progress made 

to date in advancing the Earth science missions identified in the 

recent decadal survey. In an effort to address the need for Earth 

science data, the conferees encourage NASA to consider commercial 

solutions for providing such data and suggest that NASA contract 

with the National Academies’ Space Studies Board to conduct a 

study of the feasibility of commercially-provided Earth science 

data. 

Climate variables and climate science.—Long-term measurement of selected climate variables is of critical importance for climate science. NASA should provide leadership in demonstrating 

satellite-based global change measurements that can then be implemented on an operational basis by NOAA and USGS. Given the 

likely demise in coming years of a number of Earth observing satellites and the NASA cancellation of the second and third copies of 

the EOS satellites and instruments, NASA, working with NOAA, 

USGS, and the other agencies of the US Global Change Research 

Program, is directed to conduct a systematic review of the recommended Decadal Survey implementation architecture, with the 

focus being to first measure and understand specifically those climate forcings that have the greatest leverage for improving the Nation’s climate predictive capabilities significantly over the next 10– 

12 years. The resulting architecture should include emphasis on 

NASA’s responsibility to develop measurements using new technologies to demonstrate an innovative, affordable climate observing 

system and improvements to the predictive models resulting from 

the ensemble of measurements obtained. The resulting architecture 

must also take into account the time required for NOAA and USGS 

to obtain appropriations to assume operational responsibility for 

the measurement once their utility has been demonstrated including consideration of NASA including two copies of each instrument 

with operational potential. A report outlining this climate-centric 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
753 

architecture shall be delivered to the Committees no later than 

May 3, 2010. 

Scatterometer.—NASA and NOAA are directed to continue 

joint studies leading to a NOAA request in the fiscal year 2011 

budget to build and fly an operational scatterometer to provide sea 

surface vector wind measurements, as directed by the House. 

Earth system science pathfinder, other mission and data analysis.—Within the funds provided for other mission and data anal- ysis, the conferees have provided $25,000,000 for initial costs associated with an orbiting carbon observing (OCO) replacement. In addition, NASA is directed to supplement these funds with not less 

than $25,000,000 from available Science mission directorate prior 

year balances to achieve a total program level of not less than 

$50,000,000 in fiscal year 2010. 

Also included within the funds provided for other mission and data analysis, the conference agreement provides $6,000,000 for 

pre-phase A and pilot initiatives for the development of a carbon 

monitoring system. Any pilot developed shall replicate State and 

national carbon and biomass inventory processes that provide statistical precision and accuracy with geospatially explicit associated 

attribute data for aggregation at the project, county, State and Federal level using a common dataset with complete market transparency, including extraction algorhythms and correlation modeling. 

Near Earth object observations.—The recommendation includes 

$5,800,000 for near Earth object observations, an increase of 

$2,000,000 to support scientific research at the Arecibo Observatory in the fields of climate change and space weather. 

GLOBE.—The recommendation includes $3,000,000 for the 

GLOBE program. The conferees recognize the significant investment NASA has made in GLOBE and direct NASA to support the 

OSTP review of the program and to work cooperatively with NOAA 

and NSF on this interagency program. 

Planetary science, international lunar network.—The conference agreement provides $15,000,000 for the international lunar 

network. 

Astrophysics, servicing opportunities for science missions.— 

Funding for this activity has been provided within funds appropriated under the heading ‘‘Space Operations’’. 

Astrophysics, exoplanet exploration, other missions and data 

analysis.—The conference agreement includes the funds requested 

to enable SIM-lite to continue mission concept, technology and risk 

reduction efforts. 

James Webb space telescope.—The conferees provide the full 

budget request of $441,400,000 for the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s next orbiting observatory scheduled to launch in 

2014. The conferees are troubled by ongoing cost overruns and inaccurate phasing of reserves that have required the Committees to 

approve multiple adjustments to Webb’s funding levels. These adjustments have totaled $95,000,000 in the last six months alone, 

and the Committees are aware that additional adjustments may be 

needed in fiscal year 2010. Before the Committees will consider any 

further adjustments, NASA shall provide to the Committees a report on the factors contributing to Webb’s cost overruns and reVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00757 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

serve phasing problems, identifying NASA’s plans to address these 

issues and how it shall prevent such occurrences in the future. 

Jupiter system mission.—The conference agreement provides $15,500,000 to study further the Europa Jupiter system mission to 

address the primary risk to the mission, the energy particle radiation environment of Jupiter, as described in the House report. Included in these funds shall be efforts to assist the science community in responding to the announcement of opportunity for the instruments. The conferees direct NASA within 60 days of enactment 

to provide a projected full lifetime budget outline for the Europa 

mission, to include anticipated contributions from foreign partners, 

and an alternative budget profile that would accelerate the launch 

to 2018. 

Heliophysics, sounding rockets operations.—Within the 

amounts provided for heliophysics sounding rockets operations, 

$5,000,000 is provided to continue advanced technology development of small satellites and unmanned aerial systems that have 

the potential of lowering the costs of space and Earth science missions. 

NASA is directed to increase its participation in suborbital 

missions that provide hands-on experience in STEM education. 

Solar probe plus.—The conference agreement includes 

$40,000,000 for the solar probe plus mission, the highest priority 

of the decadal survey in heliophysics. The conferees direct NASA 

to work aggressively to achieve a launch in 2015, and expect future 

budget requests to accommodate that launch date without jeopardizing other Science missions or programs. 

Magnetospheric multiscale (MMS).—The conference agreement 

provides the budget request of $118,600,000 for the MMS project. 

NASA is expected to maintain the full complement of science instruments for this mission and achieve a launch in 2014. 

Planetary science, technology.—Within the funds provided for 

planetary science, resources are provided for test and development 

of thermal protection systems (TPS), such as coal-based carbon 

foam ablative devices, in future missions to and from Mars and 

Moon. 

General reduction.—The conference agreement assumes a general reduction that may be applied to unobligated balances from 

prior years and to amounts provided herein. Such reductions shall 

not be assessed against those activities augmented by the Congress 

or otherwise addressed by this statement of the managers and 

shall be presented in NASA’s initial operating plan. 

AERONAUTICS

The conference agreement provides $501,000,000 for aeronautics. Funds provided herein are available for two years to conduct and support aeronautics research and development activities, 

including research, development, operations, support and services; 

maintenance; space flight, spacecraft control, and communications 

activities; program management; personnel and related costs; travel expenses; purchase and hire of passenger motor vehicles; and 

purchase, lease, charter, maintenance, and operation of mission 

and administrative aircraft. Funds for construction of facilities, including repair, renovation of existing facilities, construction of new 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
755 

facilities, facility planning and design, and for environmental compliance and restoration are provided in a separate, new account, as 

proposed by the House. 

Aviation safety.—Within the funds provided for aviation safety, $15,000,000 is included within the aeronautics program to establish a university affiliated research center (UARC) to collaborate 

with the Dryden National Flight Center to focus on unmanned aircraft systems remote sensing research applications and educational 

programs. 

EXPLORATION

The conference agreement provides $3,746,300,000 for exploration. Funds provided herein are available for two years to conduct and support exploration research and development activities, 

including research, development, operations, support and services; 

maintenance; space flight, spacecraft control, and communications 

activities; program management; personnel and related costs; travel expenses; purchase and hire of passenger motor vehicles; and 

purchase, lease, charter, maintenance, and operation of mission 

and administrative aircraft. Funds for construction of facilities, including repair, renovation of existing facilities, construction of new 

facilities, facility planning and design, and for environmental compliance and restoration are provided in a separate, new account, as 

proposed by the House. 

U.S. human spaceflight plans.—Appointed in June 2009 to conduct an independent review of the ongoing U.S. human spaceflight 

plans and programs, as well as alternatives, the Review of U.S. 

Human Spaceflight Plans Committee reported its findings in an 

October 2009 report. Outlining five broad options for the future of 

NASA’s human spaceflight program, the committee noted that the 

current U.S. human spaceflight program is on an unsustainable 

trajectory and that its goals are not matched by financial resources. 

Given the current budgetary projections, the existing program cannot meet its established timelines and content. The gap in time in 

which the U.S. is without a human spaceflight capability will be at 

least six years, and more likely seven under current budgetary projections. 

The committee’s work raises issues requiring thoughtful consideration by the Administration and the Congress, before the 

Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate can recommend detailed funding levels. The conferees note that the Constellation program is the program for which funds have been authorized and appropriated over the last four years, and upon which 

the pending budget request is based. Accordingly, it is premature 

for the conferees to advocate or initiate significant changes to the 

current program absent a bona fide proposal from the Administration and subsequent assessment, consideration and enactment by 

Congress. 

To protect the jurisdiction and prerogatives of the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations and of the Congress generally while providing appropriate flexibility to the Administration 

in managing a complex research and development program, the 

conference agreement provides $3,466,400,000 for human exploration architecture development, the same level as the budget reVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00759 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

quest. Changes in budgetary and programmatic requirements for 

fiscal year 2010 from the original budget request shall be submitted only in the form of a supplemental budget request for fiscal 

year 2010 and not through an initial operating plan or subsequent 

updates. Funds are not provided herein to initiate any new program, project or activity, not otherwise contemplated within the 

budget request and approved by Congress, consistent with section 

505 of this Act, unless otherwise approved by the Congress in a 

subsequent appropriations Act. Funds are also not provided herein 

to cancel, terminate or significantly modify contracts related to the 

spacecraft architecture of the current program, unless such changes 

or modifications have been considered in subsequent appropriations 

Acts. 

The conferees note that the previous Administration failed to 

request a budget adequate to implement its Vision for Space Exploration while also maintaining a balanced portfolio of science and 

aeronautics programs, returning the Shuttle to flight after the Columbia accident and completing the International Space Station. 

Similarly, the current budget submittal for fiscal year 2010 and beyond significantly reduces planned funding for space exploration 

activities such that human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit is 

not viable under the fiscal year 2010 budget guideline. As the committee noted, ‘‘NASA’s budget should match its mission and goals’’ 

and ‘‘whatever space program is ultimately selected, it must be 

matched with the resources needed for its execution.’’ It is the expressed hope of the conferees that the Administration will formulate its formal decision soon, submit its recommendation for congressional review and consideration, and budget the necessary resources to meet U.S. spaceflight program funding requirements 

identified in the Administration’s recommendation and congressionally-approved program for space exploration while maintaining a 

balanced portfolio of science and aeronautics programs. 

Within the funds provided for human exploration architecture development, not less than $100,000,000 is provided for continuing 

investments in heavy-lift cargo launch capability. In addition, within the funds provided for human exploration architecture development, $39,100,000 is provided for commercial cargo activities 

(COTS A–C), the same level as the budget request. 

Microgravity research.—Within the funds provided for exploration technology development, the conference agreement provides 

$47,000,000 for microgravity research. Not later than 90 days after 

enactment of this Act, NASA shall submit to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations the planned expenditure of the 

amounts provided herein for microgravity research. 

Technology infusion projects.—The conference agreement provides $219,300,000 for technology infusion projects, within which 

funds are included for the development of new technologies to include filament wound aluminum metal matrix composite technology for use in cryogenic fuels systems for space vehicles. 

General reduction.—The conference agreement assumes a general reduction that may be applied to unobligated balances from 

prior years and to amounts provided herein. Such reductions shall 

not be assessed against those activities augmented by the Congress 

and shall be presented in the initial operating plan. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
757 

SPACE OPERATIONS

The conference agreement provides $6,146,800,000 for space 

operations. The conference agreement designates not more than 

$3,157,100,000 for Space Shuttle operations, production, research, 

development and support; not more than $2,317,000,000 for International Space Station operations, production, research, development and support; and not more than $751,500,000 for Space and 

Flight Support operations, production, research, development and 

support. Funds provided herein are available for two years to conduct and support space operations research and development activities, including research, development, operations, support and 

services; maintenance; space flight, spacecraft control, and communications activities; program management; personnel and related 

costs; travel expenses; purchase and hire of passenger motor vehicles; and purchase, lease, charter, maintenance, and operation of 

mission and administrative aircraft. Funds for construction of facilities, including repair, renovation of existing facilities, construction of new facilities, facility planning and design, and for environmental compliance and restoration are provided in a separate, new 

account, as proposed by the House. 

Space Shuttle.—The summary report of the Review of U.S. 

Human Space Flight Plans Committee noted that the projected 

flight rate of the Space Shuttle prior to its projected retirement is 

nearly twice that of the actual flight rate since return to flight 

after the Columbia accident, stating, ‘‘Recognizing that undue 

schedule and budget pressure can subtly impose a negative influence on safety, the Committee finds a more realistic schedule is 

prudent. With the remaining flights likely to stretch into the second quarter of 2011, the Committee considers it important to budget for Shuttle operations through that time.’’ Accordingly, the Administration is urged to provide adequate funding for the remaining Shuttle flights in its fiscal year 2011 budget request without 

reducing other important and ongoing NASA activities. 

International Space Station (ISS) operations.—Within the 

amounts provided for ISS operations, $50,000,000 is provided to 

continue efforts in the use of next generation of human space flight 

architecture to service existing and future observatory-class scientific spacecraft as identified in the conference report accompanying division B of Public Law 111–8. The activities to be undertaken shall be a joint project of the space operations, science and 

exploration mission directorates, and shall include technology demonstrations for both robotic and human servicing capabilities. 

Tracking and data relay satellite system.—NASA is directed to 

report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate not later than March 15, 2010, on options for accommodating 

increased mission load to the tracking and data relay satellite system, to include an examination of the feasibility of using off-theshelf technologies. 

The conference agreement does not provide for a competitive 

grant program for launch infrastructure construction and upgrades 

at spaceports, as the Senate had proposed. 

General reduction.—The conference agreement assumes a general reduction that may be applied to unobligated balances from 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
758 

prior years and to amounts provided herein. Such reductions shall 

not be assessed against those activities augmented by the Congress 

or otherwise addressed by this statement of the managers and 

shall be presented in NASA’s initial operating plan. 

EDUCATION

The conference agreement provides $182,500,000 for education. 

Education activities.—NASA is directed to include in its annual budget justifications the amount within each mission directorate for the past, current and budget year planned for education 

activities, and the specific purposes for which the funds are requested. 

National Space Grant College and Fellowship program.—For 

this program, the conference agreement provides $45,600,000 to 

fund 42 states or jurisdictions at $900,000 each and 10 states or 

jurisdictions at $700,000 each. 

Classroom of the Future.—The conference agreement provides 

$1,000,000 for the Classroom of the Future, as requested. 

Educational activities at NASA centers.—The conference agreement provides $7,000,000 for NASA visitor centers for the development of educational activities to be distributed in equal $700,000 

increments to each center’s visitor center for the development of 

educational activities. The conferees encourage NASA to make its 

visitor centers or their proxies available to all students and children up to grade 12 or age 18 on a no-fee basis as such experiences 

should be integral components of a broad-based STEM education. 

NASA is further directed to review its educational portfolio to determine how such visitor centers can be better incorporated into 

NASA’s efforts to inspire and educate students at all levels to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and 

mathematics. The findings of such a review and recommendations 

to improve student visitor experience and accessibility shall be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not 

later than 90 days after enactment of the Act. NASA is directed to 

avoid implementation of any change to admission costs to any 

NASA visitor center for children up to grade 12 or age 18. 

Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle School Students 

(EarthKAM) program.—Funds are provided within informal education to ensure that NASA increases its support for this program. 

CROSS AGENCY SUPPORT

The conference agreement includes $3,194,000,000 for cross 

agency support. Funds provided herein are available for two years 

for the conduct and support of science, aeronautics, exploration, 

space operations and education research and development activities, including research, development, operations, support and services; maintenance; space flight, spacecraft control, and communications activities; program management; personnel and related costs; 

travel expenses; purchase and hire of passenger motor vehicles; 

and purchase, lease, charter, maintenance, and operation of mission and administrative aircraft. Funds for construction of facilities, including repair, renovation of existing facilities, construction 

of new facilities, facility planning and design, and for environVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00762 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

mental compliance and restoration are provided in a separate, new 

account, as proposed by the House. 

The conference agreement designates within amounts appro- priated $2,206,300,000 for center management and operations; 

$40,000,000 for independent verification and validation activities; 

and $63,000,000 for congressionally-designated projects which are 

incorporated by reference. Provisions proposed by the House relating to enhanced use lease receipts have been incorporated, with 

modifications, under the ‘‘Construction and environmental compliance and remediation’’ appropriation. 

The conference agreement provides the budget request for activities of NASA’s Chief Engineer to increase direct technical support to high-risk aspects of NASA’s missions in order to improve 

mission success, cost containment and schedule performance across 

all mission directorates. 

NASA is directed to include in its fiscal year 2011 budget request an accounting of civil service salary and expense requirements contained in each program, as directed by the Senate report. 

Not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, NASA is 

directed to provide a report to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations detailing the number of term positions to be 

funded under the Act, as well as a comparative summary of 

NASA’s use of term positions since 1990. 

Small business innovative research (SBIR) and small business 

technology transfer research (STTR).—While the conference agreement identifies amounts for these activities at the levels requested 

by the Administration, the conferees note that funding for government-wide SBIR and STTR programs are set by statute at 2.5 percent and 0.3 percent of the agency’s extramural research and development program, which has yet to be determined. 

Cybersecurity.—The conferees are concerned about recent cyber 

attacks against NASA and therefore direct NASA to partner with 

the National Security Agency to assure that NASA networks are 

secure and that its software verification process includes a rigorous 

cyber examination process. 

General reduction.—The conference agreement assumes a general reduction that may be applied to unobligated balances from 

prior years and to amounts provided herein. Such reductions shall 

not be assessed against those activities augmented by the Congress 

or otherwise addressed by this statement of the managers and 

shall be presented in NASA’s initial operating plan. 

Congressionally-designated projects.—Within the appropriation 

for cross agency support, the conference agreement provides for the 

following congressionally-directed activities:

CONSTRUCTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND REMEDIATION

The conference agreement includes an appropriation of $448,300,000 for construction and environmental compliance and 

remediation. Appropriations are available for five years and shall 

be available for construction of facilities, including repair, rehabilitation, revitalization, and modification of facilities, construction of 

new facilities and additions to new facilities, facility planning and 

design, and restoration, and acquisition or condemnation of real 

property, as authorized by law, and environmental compliance and 

restoration. Funds for construction-related labor costs and travel 

are included within the amounts provided in the Cross Agency 

Support appropriation. Within this appropriation, the conference 

agreement designates the following amounts for each of the mission 

directorates, as shown below: 

Science .................................................................................................... $13,700,000 

Exploration ............................................................................................. 90,800,000

Cross agency support ............................................................................. 316,500,000 

Institutional investments, construction of facilities .................... (249,300,000) 

Environmental compliance and restoration ................................. (67,200,000) 

NASA is directed to provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations NASA form 1509 for each CoF project submitted in the annual budget request or an initial operating plan 

and for each CoF project subject to a reprogramming notification. 

In addition, NASA is directed within 90 days of enactment of this 

Act to provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a comprehensive five-year plan detailing in priority order and 

by center projected facilities infrastructure improvements and construction needs across the NASA complex. The plan shall include 

current and projected mission assignments by center and how such 

proposed improvements meet each center’s mission objectives. 

Leasing authorities and collections.—The conference agreement 

includes provisions relating to enhanced use leases (EULs): a provision that requires, hereafter, the deposit of all EUL proceeds into 

the construction account, provides for five-year availability, and 

subjects all EUL receipts to annual appropriations Acts prior to 

their availability; a provision that limits to $6,226,000 the expenditure of EUL receipts to the level planned by NASA in its official 

submission; and a provision that requires each annual budget request to include an annual estimate of gross EUL receipts and proposed uses of such receipts. Similar provisions were proposed by 

the House under the ‘‘Cross Agency Support’’ appropriation. 

NASA is directed to continue its moratorium on any new enhanced use leases until it promulgates and disseminates to the centers and the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate its final desk guidance on the administration and execution of 

the EUL program. In addition, NASA is further directed to submit 

a separate operating plan by center on the proposed use of all receipts and collections in fiscal year 2010 prior to the expenditure 

of such funds, and any deviation from such approved plan shall be 

subject to section 505 of this Act. Lastly, NASA shall submit with 

its annual budget submission a separate accounting by center of 

gross receipts and collections and proposed use of all funds collected under its leasing authority. Such material shall include a deVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00768 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

tailed presentation of all proposed expenditures, to include but not 

limited to full-time equivalent (FTE) staff years and object class 

data, minor renovation projects proposed to be undertaken with requested amounts for each project, and justification for such proposed expenditures by project or activity. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement provides $36,400,000 for the Office 

of Inspector General, which shall be available for one year. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

The conference agreement contains language regarding the 

availability of funds for announced prizes. 

The conference agreement contains language providing for the 

transfer of certain amounts between appropriations accounts. 

The conference agreement contains language prohibiting any 

reduction in force or other involuntary separations in fiscal year 

2010. 

The conference agreement contains language regarding transfers of unexpired balances. 

The conference agreement does not include language proposed 

by the Senate which provided that funding designations and minimum funding requirements contained in any other Act shall not 

be applicable to funds provided in this Act for NASA. 

The conference agreement does not include administrative provisions proposed by the Senate regarding the period of availability 

of funds allocated for construction and environmental compliance 

activities within appropriations made for the various mission directorates. The conference agreement provides for a new, separate appropriation for construction and environmental remediation, eliminating the need for the administrative provisions proposed by the 

Senate. 

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

The conference agreement includes $6,926,510,000 for the National Science Foundation (NSF), consistent with the ongoing effort 

to double the agency’s budget over a ten-year period. 

The conferees are concerned with continuity in the level of support for research and development at the National Science Foundation and reiterate concerns expressed by the House that the request for fiscal year 2011 should represent at least a seven percent 

increase for NSF over the conference agreement level for fiscal year 

2010 in order to sustain the planned doubling of the Foundation’s 

budget. 

The conferees support House direction to the Foundation to 

convene a panel of experts to survey pre-K to 12 schools that are 

highly successful in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and submit a report of the findings and 

recommendations of this panel to the Committees within 180 days 

of the enactment of this Act.

RESEARCH AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $5,617,920,000 for research 

and related activities. 

The conference agreement transfers $54,000,000 from NSF to 

the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for icebreaking services to 

cover all anticipated operation and maintenance costs for fiscal 

year 2010. The conferees expect that in future years all operation 

and maintenance budget authority for these USCG icebreakers will 

be requested by the Department of Homeland Security. 

Within the funds provided, the conferees direct NSF to maintain funding at the levels requested for the following activities: 

Climate change 

Cyber-enabled discovery and innovation 

Science and engineering beyond Moore’s law 

Adaptive systems technology 

Dynamics of water processes in the environment 

National Radio Astronomy Observatory 

In addition, the conferees support House direction on high-risk, 

high-reward basic research; funding for research on ocean acidification; support for 2,000 graduate research fellowships across all of 

NSF; climate change education; and funding of EPSCoR. Beyond 

these requirements, the conferees expect NSF to accommodate the 

reduction from the request based on its judgment of where funding 

will be used most effectively. 

The conferees support the direction in the Senate report with 

respect to VORTEX2. 

The conferees direct NSF to transfer $100,000 to the National 

Academy of Sciences as directed by the House. 

Hydrology, terrestrial ecosystems and soils.—The conferees see 

the need for an appropriate mechanism to bring together the hydrology research community and better integrate the different 

types of data and observing systems and enhance support of hydrology modeling, and to institutionalize this mechanism. The conferees also see the need for an appropriate mechanism to bring together the terrestrial ecology and soils research communities. NSF 

is directed to report its recommendations on the need for and establishment of mechanisms in these two areas with the budget request for fiscal year 2011. 

Gemini telescope.—The conferees recognize that the Gemini 

international telescope agreement is scheduled for renewal in 2012. 

The United States currently has a 50 percent share in this project, 

which originated in 1992, and today includes the United Kingdom, 

Canada, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile as partners. Given 

the scientific importance of the Southern Hemisphere Gemini Observatory, NSF is encouraged to continue and, if possible on favorable terms, expand U.S. support in the upcoming renewal negotiations to acquire additional telescope time for NSF investigators. 

GLOBE.—The conferees are aware that NSF continues to support the GLOBE program and encourage the agency to continue 

this support and to work with NASA and NOAA and to support the 

OSTP review of the program. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
767 

EPSCoR.—The conferees request that NSF examine new approaches and innovative efforts within EPSCoR to assist States 

within the program, including but not limited to, additional cofunding opportunities and EAGER awards, efforts to better ensure 

participation in new initiatives, and other activities as appropriate. 

MAJOR RESEARCH EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION

The conference agreement provides $117,290,000 for Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction, and prohibits funds 

from being used for reimbursement of the Judgment Fund. The 

agreement supports the following items at the indicated amounts: 

Advanced LIGO ...................................................................................... $46,300,000 

Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) .......................................... 42,760,000 

Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) .................................... 13,000,000 

Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) .................................................. 14,280,000 

Ice Cube .................................................................................................. 950,000 

EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES

The conference agreement provides $872,760,000 for Education 

and Human Resources. The increase over the budget request is to 

support additional work in experiential learning as directed by the 

House with a substantial portion of the initiative focused on K–6 

STEM education. The recommendation includes adjustments to the 

budget request for specific programs, as follows: 

Discovery research K–12 ....................................................................... +$10,000,000 

Research and evaluation on education in science and engineering +2,500,000 

Course, curriculum and laboratory improvement ............................... +2,500,000 

The conferees direct NSF to provide a report detailing plans to 

establish a Hispanic Serving Institutions—Undergraduate Program 

no later than 90 days following enactment of this Act. The conferees expect a significant funding request for such a program to 

be included in NSF’s fiscal year 2011 budget request. 

The conferees are concerned that K–12 students need a better 

foundation in geographic literacy, and direct NSF to work with external partners with experience in geographic education to improve 

geography teaching, training and research in our Nation’s schools. 

The conferees support the Foundation’s request of $55,000,000 

for the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program. 

AGENCY OPERATIONS AND AWARD MANAGEMENT

The conference agreement provides $300,000,000 for agency operations and award management. 

The conferees recognize that NSF excels at creating and managing external relations, providing valuable financial and professional leadership for the Nation’s scientific communities, particularly in the competitive solicitation and award of research and educational grants and fellowships. Internally the agency must do better to provide a safe and productive work environment for all of its 

employees. The conferees reinforce the need for formal reviews 

from both the NSF directorate and the Office of Inspector General 

on the agency’s personnel management practices as outlined in the 

Senate report. In addition, the conferees support the Senate’s report language identifying the need to improve grant management 

and accountability.

OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD

The conference agreement provides $4,540,000 for the National 

Science Board. The conferees direct the National Science Board to 

use the increase of funds above the request for obtaining a General 

Counsel independent of the National Science Foundation. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement provides $14,000,000 for the Inspector General, the same as the request. 

TITLE IV 

RELATED AGENCIES 

COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $9,400,000 for the Commission on Civil Rights. 

Support of State Advisory Committees (SACs).—The Commission shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a biannual report listing the 51 SACs and the expiration 

date of the most recent charter for each. The report should also include the projected date of re-chartering for those SACs whose 

most recent charter has expired and a description of the recent activities undertaken by those that do have an active charter. 

The conferees urge the Commission to ensure that its regional 

office staffing plan is coordinated with its charter expansion plan 

so that newly reinvigorated SACs will have the operational support 

necessary to succeed. 

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $367,303,000 for the Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). 

Backlog reduction.—The conferees urge EEOC to develop and 

implement a multiyear plan to increase EEOC staffing to the levels 

necessary to achieve backlog reduction in a timely manner. In the 

meantime, EEOC shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations quarterly reports on projected and actual 

agency staffing levels so EEOC’s personnel resources can be better 

monitored. 

Workload projections.—Workload projections should be continually calibrated with actual data as it becomes available through 

midyear reviews and other means. EEOC shall also ensure that its 

workload projections account for necessary changes in overtime policy as required by a March 23, 2009 arbitration decision addressing 

EEOC overtime payments. 

Federal sector hearings.—EEOC shall submit to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of the enactment of this Act an implementation plan for the new Federal sector 

hearing process, including background on the need for these 

changes, the proposed implementation schedule and an analysis of 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
769 

the potential impact, both positive and negative, on the ability of 

Federal employees to get a fair hearing under the track system. 

INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

The conference agreement provides $81,860,000 for the International Trade Commission for fiscal year 2010. 

LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

PAYMENT TO THE LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

The conference agreement provides $420,000,000 for the Legal 

Services Corporation (LSC). 

Accountability and oversight.—Over the past three years, GAO, 

the LSC Inspector General and the Audit Committee of the LSC 

Board of Directors have issued multiple findings of management 

and oversight weaknesses at the Corporation. LSC has made a 

public commitment to address each of these findings, and, as evidenced by recent GAO testimony, has made progress by implementing necessary corrective actions in a number of areas. However, as also evidenced by GAO’s testimony, additional work remains to complete the full list of recommended actions. 

The conferees have been, and remain, concerned about these 

gaps in LSC’s management and accountability controls, which 

leave the Corporation vulnerable to improper expenditures or instances of waste by grantees. The timely resolution of these remaining issues must be a Corporation priority. Consequently, the 

conferees direct the Corporation’s President and Chairman of the 

Board of Directors to report jointly to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than February 1, 2010, to certify that the Corporation has met the requirements for management practices and policies, as well as governance standards and 

guidelines. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION—LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

A general provision in Title V of the bill revises the administrative provision in order to permit grantees to pursue the recovery 

of attorney’s fees when recovery is permitted or required under 

Federal or State law. The conferees believe that this action will 

level the playing field between legal aid attorneys and their counterparts in the private sector and provide a potentially crucial 

source of additional revenue to legal aid providers in a year in 

which State and private funding sources are decreasing. 

MARINE MAMMAL COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $3,250,000 for the Marine 

Mammal Commission for fiscal year 2010. 

The Commission is directed to submit a report to Congress 

prioritizing international research and conservation efforts of marine mammals.

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $47,826,000 for the Office 

of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) for fiscal year 

2010. 

World Trade Organization.—The conferees are aware of the 

World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Body’s January 16, 

2003, ruling regarding the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset 

Act (Public Law 106–387). The conferees direct USTR, in consultation with the Department of Commerce, to continue to negotiate 

within the WTO to seek express recognition of the existing right of 

WTO members to distribute monies collected from antidumping 

and countervailing duties as they deem appropriate. The agency 

shall consult with and provide regular reports every 60 days to the 

House and Senate Appropriations Committees on this matter. 

In addition, the conferees direct that negotiations be conducted 

within the WTO consistent with the negotiating objectives contained in the Trade Act of 2002, Public Law 107–210, to maintain 

strong U.S. trade remedies laws, prevent overreaching by WTO 

Panels and the WTO Appellate Body, and prevent the creation of 

obligations never negotiated or agreed to by the United States. 

Climate change.—Countries in Southeast Asia are particularly 

vulnerable to the potentially destructive impacts of climate change. 

U.S. companies have the capacity to provide valuable expertise and 

install advanced weather forecasting infrastructure and other reliable technologies addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation. The conferees direct the USTR to report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations on the status of U.S. company engagement with Southeast Asian nations on these efforts no 

later than March 30, 2010.

result in the destruction of certain information within 24 hours. 

Section 512 delays the obligations of any receipts deposited 

into the Crime Victims Fund in excess of $705,000,000 until October 1, 2010. This language is continued to ensure a stable source 

of funds will remain available for the program, despite inconsistent

bill are to the bill (H.R. 3170) as passed by the House on July 16, 

2009 (H. Rept. 111–202). 

Language included in House Report 111–202 or Senate Report 

111–43 that is not changed by this joint explanatory statement is 

approved by the committee of conference. This explanatory statement, while repeating some report language for emphasis, is not intended to negate the language in the referenced House and Senate 

committee reports unless expressly provided herein. 

Where the House or Senate has directed submission of a report, that report is to be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. 

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

DEPARTMENTAL OFFICES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $304,888,000 for depart- mental offices salaries and expenses, instead of $303,388,000 as 

proposed by the House and $305,712,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

For the activities under this heading, the conference agreement 

provides the following funding levels: 

Executive Direction ............................................................................... $21,983,000 

Economic Policies and Programs .......................................................... 47,249,000 

Financial Policies and Programs .......................................................... 48,580,000 

Terrorism and Financial Intelligence ................................................... 64,611,000 

Treasury-wide Management ................................................................. 22,679,000 

Administration ....................................................................................... 99,786,000 

Within the Financial Policies and Programs budget activity, the conference agreement provides an increase of $1,000,000 above 

the amount assumed in the budget request for the Department’s 

Office of Financial Education. The Department is directed to target 

this increase toward further financial education efforts aimed at elementary and high schools, as well as efforts to enhance other financial education efforts, including support for the revision of the 

national strategy on financial literacy and the development of 

measurable goals and objectives for the Financial Literacy and 

Education Commission. 

Within the funding provided for economic policies and programs: (1) $1,500,000 is provided for a comprehensive carbon audit 

of the Internal Revenue Code, as proposed by both the House and 

the Senate and as authorized by Public Law 110–343, division B, 

section 117; and (2) $1,000,000 is provided for a study on the longterm economic effects of the aging population in the United States, 

as proposed by the Senate. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
893 

The conference agreement includes a provision allowing the 

Department to transfer up to 4 percent of funds available between 

budget activities upon notification of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. Transfers in excess of 4 percent may be 

made upon approval of the Committees on Appropriations. 

Department Responsiveness.—The conferees are dissatisfied 

with the responsiveness of the Department of the Treasury to questions and requests for information from the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. For example, the Department did not 

submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations the 

responses to questions for the record in connection with the Treasury Department fiscal year 2010 budget hearings until several 

months after the hearings. Questions for the record are submitted 

to inform the Committees and increase their knowledge of the Administration’s activities, ultimately improving the bills enacted into 

law. The conferees expect that the responsiveness of the Department of the Treasury will dramatically improve from this point 

forward. 

Economic Sanctions and Divestments.—The conferees direct 

the Department to fully implement the sanctions and divestment 

measures applicable to North Korea, Burma, Iran, Sudan, and 

Zimbabwe. The Department is further directed to promptly notify 

the Appropriations Committees of any resource constraints that adversely impact the implementation of these sanctions programs. 

Illegal Garnishment of Federal Benefits.—The conferees reiterate the Senate report language regarding the illegal garnishment 

of Federal benefits by third-party collectors and direct the Department to provide a written report to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, within 15 days of enactment of this Act, on 

the progress in creating guidelines to prevent this illegal garnishment. 

Financial and Economic Stabilization Efforts.—Given the ongoing need to provide stability to the economic and financial system, along with the billions of dollars in taxpayer funds that have 

been put at risk in the process, the conferees take very seriously 

the obligation of the Appropriations Committees to continue to exercise vigorous oversight over all of the Department’s efforts in 

these areas. The conferees reiterate the associated detailed reporting requirements contained in House Report 111–202. The conferees direct the Department to ensure that the stabilization efforts 

are administered soundly and efficiently in order to minimize risks 

to the taxpayer. The Department is additionally directed to ensure 

that these efforts do not hamper the Department’s other critical 

missions. Further, the conferees reiterate the Senate language directing the Department to: (1) develop a more effective strategy for 

communicating with Congress, the public, and other stakeholders 

with regard to economic and financial stabilization efforts, as recommended by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), (2) 

pursue more detailed reporting from entities receiving Troubled 

Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds, and (3) provide a monthly report on the number and value of foreclosures prevented to date 

under Treasury programs.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

PROGRAM

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $23,300,000 for salaries 

and expenses of the Office of the Special Inspector General for the

SIGTARP with a direct appropriation of $50,000,000 to cover the 

costs of its audit, investigative and related expenses. It is the understanding of the conferees that this funding level is adequate to 

allow the SIGTARP to continue its work only for a portion of fiscal 

year 2010. The conferees have provided additional budget authority 

in this Act to allow the critical work of the SIGTARP to continue 

for the entirety of fiscal year 2010. 

FINANCIAL CRIMES ENFORCEMENT NETWORK

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $111,010,000 for salaries 

and expenses of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network 

(FinCEN), instead of $117,760,000 as proposed by the House and 

$104,260,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement 

provides an increase of $8,250,000 above the budget request. The 

conferees modify Senate report language and direct that, of the increase above the budget request, not less than $2,000,000 be used 

to improve collaboration with other Financial Intelligence Units 

(FIUs) around the world regarding international anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing efforts, and to help FIUs to 

build and strengthen investigative and analytical capabilities. 

FinCEN is directed to submit a semiannual report to the 

House and Senate Appropriations Committees summarizing the 

agency’s progress regarding its information technology modernizaVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00898 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

cost and schedule, management of contractor oversight, strategies 

to involve stakeholders, and acquisition management efforts. 

TREASURY FORFEITURE FUND

(RESCISSION)

The conference agreement includes a rescission of $90,000,000 

of the unobligated balances in the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, instead of $50,000,000 as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

The conferees direct the Department to provide information in 

the Department of the Treasury fiscal year 2011 budget request, as 

well as updates every 60 days thereafter, on the projected amount 

of Super Surplus available for obligation in fiscal year 2011. 

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $244,132,000 for salaries 

and expenses of the Financial Management Service (FMS) as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

Treasury Securities Sold to Foreign Investors.—The conferees 

reiterate the House language requesting that FMS include in the 

Monthly Treasury Statement the amounts of Treasury securities 

sold to foreign investors in the most recent month of available data, 

as well as a breakdown, by country, of foreign ownership of Treasury securities. 

Federal Government Payment of Card Transaction Fees.—The 

conferees reiterate the Senate language regarding the Federal Government’s payment of interchange and other fees on credit and 

debit card transactions and direct FMS to report to the House and 

Senate Appropriations Committees, within 180 days of enactment 

of this Act, on the potential cost savings and other benefits to the 

Federal Government if FMS were able to effectively negotiate (1) 

changes in the rates and fees assessed by card networks and (2) 

modifications to the rules and regulations of the card networks 

which restrict the Federal Government’s ability to determine the 

types of card payments it accepts and the methods by which its 

transactions are processed. 

ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TAX AND TRADE BUREAU

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $103,000,000 for salaries 

and expenses of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau as 

proposed by the Senate, instead of $99,500,000 as proposed by the 

House. Within this amount, $3,000,000, available until September 

30, 2011, is provided for the hiring, training, and equipping of special agents and related support personnel.

UNITED STATES MINT

UNITED STATES MINT PUBLIC ENTERPRISE FUND

The conference agreement provides that not more than 

$26,700,000 in new liabilities and obligations may be incurred during fiscal year 2010 for circulating coinage and protective service 

capital investments of the U.S. Mint, as proposed by both the 

House and the Senate. 

BUREAU OF THE PUBLIC DEBT

ADMINISTERING THE PUBLIC DEBT

The conference agreement provides $192,244,000 for costs associated with administering the public debt, as proposed by both the 

House and the Senate. The conference agreement further directs 

that $10,000,000 in user fees be used to offset the appropriated 

amounts. 

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS FUND

PROGRAM ACCOUNT

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $246,750,000 for the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund program 

as proposed by the Senate, instead of $243,600,000 as proposed by 

the House. Within this amount, up to $18,000,000 is for administrative expenses and $12,000,000 is for technical assistance and 

other purposes for Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Alaskan Native communities. 

Of the funds provided, $80,000,000, as requested and as proposed by both the House and the Senate, is to be transferred to the 

Capital Magnet Fund. The Capital Magnet Fund is authorized by 

the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Public Law 110– 

289) to support affordable housing and related community development efforts. The conference agreement provides temporary funding, in lieu of contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The 

conferees intend the funding to provide start-up capital and fully 

expect that the Capital Magnet Fund will operate without additional appropriations in the future when Fannie Mae and Freddie 

Mac begin the required contributions. 

Further, within the funds provided, $4,150,000 is included for 

a competitive grants pilot program aimed at providing financial 

counseling services to prospective homebuyers, as authorized by 

the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Public Law 110– 

289). Of this amount, $3,150,000, as proposed by the Senate, is for 

a pilot program to be conducted in Hawaii for financial education 

and pre-homeownership counseling. In developing the competitive 

grants process, the Department is directed to consult with other 

Federal agencies and public and private organizations with expertise in community-based financial counseling programs. 

The Department is directed to fund the Bank Enterprise 

Award program at a level not less than $25,000,000.

Senate. Within the overall amount, not less than $10,000,000 is for

In addition, within the overall amount provided, $12,000,000, 

available until September 30, 2011, is included for the Community 

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) matching grants demonstration program. The conferees urge the IRS to make every effort to expand the quantity and funding level of VITA grants focused on serving persons with disabilities proportional to the growing disability population requiring tax assistance. 

Taxpayer Assistance Blueprint (TAB).—The conferees reiterate 

House and Senate report language regarding IRS efforts, in conjunction with the IRS Oversight Board and the IRS Taxpayer Advocate, to update the TAB. The conferees direct the IRS to continue

Systems Modernization (BSM), instead of $253,674,000 as proposed 

by the House and $274,119,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 

amount represents an increase of $10,223,000 above the budget request. The conferees have provided the additional funds to support 

the IRS in furthering its new strategy for the Customer Account 

Data Engine. In addition, the conferees support additional funding 

being made available for this effort from IRS user fee collections, 

if the IRS determines that these funds are available and warranted. 

Language is retained requiring approval by the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations of a GAO-reviewed expenditure plan for BSM prior to the obligation of the funds, except in 

the case of funds for IRS labor costs.

The conference agreement provides $450,000 for compensation 

of the President as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

THE WHITE HOUSE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $59,143,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the White House, instead of $59,319,000 as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The agreement also specifies that not less than $1,400,000 shall be for the Office of National 

AIDS Policy. Relative to the House and Senate bills, the conferees 

have shifted $176,000 from this account to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reflect the Administration’s decision to 

locate the new Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator at 

OMB rather than the White House. 

EXECUTIVE RESIDENCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE

OPERATING EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $13,838,000 for the Executive Residence at the White House as proposed by both the House 

and the Senate. 

WHITE HOUSE REPAIR AND RESTORATION

House as proposed by both the House and the Senate.

both the House and the Senate.

and expenses of the National Security Council as proposed by both 

the House and the Senate. 

OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement provides $115,280,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Office of Administration as proposed by 

both the House and the Senate. 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $92,863,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), instead of $92,687,000 as proposed by both the House and the Senate. Relative to the House and Senate bills, the conferees have 

shifted $176,000 to this account from the White House, to reflect 

the Administration’s decision to locate the new Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator at OMB rather than the White 

House. 

The conferees urge OMB to focus efforts on planning and implementing a modernization of the Federal Government’s core 

budgeting system using funds provided for fiscal years 2009 and 

2010. 

OFFICE OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $29,575,000 for salaries 

and expenses of the Office of National Drug Control Policy 

(ONDCP), instead of $27,575,000 as proposed by the House and 

$28,575,000 as proposed by the Senate. The additional funding is 

intended to allow for an increase in ONDCP staff to as close to 118 

full-time equivalents as possible. The conferees are pleased that 

ONDCP has taken steps to implement the recommendations and 

action items contained in the 2008 report by the National Academy 

of Public Administration, and direct that ONDCP continue to do so 

and keep the Committees on Appropriations informed of its 

progress. 

Budget Justifications.—The conferees direct that the ONDCP 

congressional budget justification (CBJ) shall remain separate, as 

well as summarized within the justification of the Executive Office 

of the President, as in previous years. In addition, the conferees expect more detail and context in the fiscal year 2011 ONDCP CBJ, 

so that the Committees can better understand the scope and intended direction of the programs. 

Staffing Reports.—The conferees remain interested in receiving 

quarterly reports on staffing, including current levels, vacancies, 

new hires, and plans for new hires. The staffing reports shall inVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00904 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

COUNTERDRUG TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT CENTER

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $5,000,000 for the 

Counterdrug Technology Assessment Center (CTAC), instead of 

$1,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House did not propose 

funding for this program. 

In recent years, funding for CTAC has decreased due to a lack 

of confidence in the previous management as well as concern about 

the direction of the program and projects funded. Now that ONDCP 

has signaled a new direction for the program, more tailored to its 

original mission, the conference agreement provides $5,000,000 for 

a newly-invigorated program, contingent upon receipt and approval 

by the Committees on Appropriations of information including the 

mission, detailed program description, and spending plan for 

CTAC. The conferees understand that CTAC’s new program will 

supplement and enhance other government-sponsored research in 

both drug supply and drug demand reduction, with a focus on development of new scientific technologies, including prevention technology research. 

FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL PROGRAMS

HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $239,000,000 for the High 

Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program (HIDTA), instead of 

$248,000,000 as proposed by the House and $234,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement specifies that each 

HIDTA be funded at not less than the fiscal year 2009 base level, 

unless the ONDCP Director submits to the Committees on Appropriations justification for changes to those levels based on clearly 

articulated priorities and published performance measures. The 

conferees intend that increased funding provided above the fiscal 

year 2009 level is for program adjustments and discretionary activities (particularly Native American programs and prevention 

programs). Allocation of funds among discretionary activities is to 

be determined in consultation with the HIDTA Directors, and the 

Committees on Appropriations are to be notified of planned uses 

not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act. 

OTHER FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL PROGRAMS

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $154,400,000 for Other 

Federal Drug Control Programs, instead of $132,400,000 as proposed by the House and $174,750,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The agreement allocates funds among specific programs as follows: 

National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign ...................................... $45,000,000 

Drug-Free Communities Program ........................................................ 95,000,000 

(National Community Anti-Drug Coalition training ................... 2,000,000)

National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws .................................... 1,250,000 

Performance Measures Development ................................................... 250,000 

The conference agreement’s $45,000,000 funding level for the 

media campaign is $25,000,000 more than proposed by the House 

and $25,000,000 less than proposed by the Senate. The conferees 

direct ONDCP to maintain funding for non-advertising services of 

the media campaign at not less than the fiscal year 2003 ratio and 

to continue the corporate outreach program. Further, the conferees 

direct that not more than 10 percent of the amount appropriated 

for the media campaign may be used for administration, advertising production, research and testing, labor, and related costs. To 

help save on production costs, the conferees suggest that ONDCP 

consider ‘‘recycling’’ advertisements from past years as well as developing new material. In order to combat methamphetamine use 

within scarce resources, the conferees encourage ONDCP to focus 

methamphetamine prevention advertising on geographic areas with 

the highest level of methamphetamine abuse. 

UNANTICIPATED NEEDS

The conference agreement provides $1,000,000 for unanticipated needs as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

PARTNERSHIP FUND FOR PROGRAM INTEGRITY INNOVATION

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $37,500,000 for the Partnership Fund for Program Integrity Innovation, instead of 

$40,000,000 as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The 

agreement adopts the Senate approach of requiring establishment 

of an interagency council consisting of representatives of appropriate Federal agencies, States and other stakeholders to make decisions and determinations regarding pilot projects under the Partnership Fund and requiring the council to report semiannually to 

the Committees on Appropriations. 

The conferees expect OMB to play a coordinating role in designing pilots, developing performance measures, and allocating 

funds, but intend that the interagency council will be the exclusive 

decision making body and that funds will be transferred to appropriate Federal agencies to manage and evaluate the individual pilot 

projects. The OMB Director, as chair of the council, should seek 

consensus and maximum input from council members and participating Federal and State agencies. Under the conference agreement, the interagency council, in consultation with OMB, will submit a progress report to the Appropriations Committees by March 

31, 2010 and semiannually thereafter until the program is concluded. Reports are to include detailed information on goals, objectives, performance measures, and evaluations of the Partnership 

Fund and each pilot project, along with an operating plan detailing 

current and planned funding allocations.

TITLE III 

THE JUDICIARY 

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $74,034,000 for the salaries

and expenses of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal 

Circuit, instead of $33,577,000 as proposed by the House and 

$32,300,000 as proposed by the Senate. The court appears to have 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS

added additional staff during fiscal year 2009 beyond what was 

identified in its fiscal year 2009 financial plan. The conferees have 

not provided additional funds for fiscal year 2010 to cover the 

annualized cost of these new positions. 

UNITED STATES COURT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $21,350,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the United States Court of International Trade as 

proposed by the House, instead of $21,374,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. 

COURTS OF APPEALS, DISTRICT COURTS, AND OTHER JUDICIAL

SERVICES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $5,011,018,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and 

Other Judicial Services, instead of $5,080,709,000 as proposed by 

the House and $5,076,845,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition, the agreement provides $5,428,000 from the Vaccine Injury 

Compensation Trust Fund, as proposed by both the House and the 

Senate. Reductions in this account below the levels proposed in the 

House and Senate bills largely result from more recent estimates 

provided by the Judiciary, reflecting updated cost estimates and revised projections of fee income and carryover balances. 

Five-Year Plan for Courthouse Construction.—The conferees 

appreciate the five-year priority plans for courthouse construction 

which have been provided by the Judicial Conference of the United 

States in recent years, and have found those plans to be helpful in 

their deliberations. Some construction projects have apparently 

been omitted from those plans, however, on the basis that the Judicial Conference intended them to be carried out through ‘‘build to 

suit’’ leases rather than through Federal construction. There is considerable disagreement as to the circumstances (if any) under 

which leasing might be more suitable than construction in the case 

of courthouses, and the conferees have directed that the General 

Services Administration and the Judiciary prepare a joint report on 

that issue. The conferees, therefore, strongly urge the Judicial Conference to provide one integrated list of courthouse construction 

priorities in future years, ranked in overall priority order regardless of the financing mechanism being proposed for each. That list 

should also include any construction projects deemed emergencies 

as well as any projects funded in prior years but for which additional funding is needed. A single list along these lines will facilitate due consideration of Judicial Branch priorities. 

Greenville, Mississippi Federal Building and Courthouse.—The 

conferees understand that the United States Marshals Service 

(USMS) has serious concerns about the security deficiencies that 

exist in the current Federal building and courthouse facility in 

Greenville, Mississippi. These deficiencies have caused this facility 

to score among the lowest of such facilities in a nationwide USMS 

facility assessment. The conferees are concerned that these defiVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00908 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

ciencies pose a security threat to USMS personnel and their 

protectees detained at the Greenville facility. The conferees request 

that the Judicial Conference review the security deficiencies of the 

Greenville facility, evaluate all alternatives to remedy this situation, and report its findings to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations no later than 180 days after enactment of this 

Act. 

DEFENDER SERVICES

The conference agreement provides $977,748,000 for Defender 

Services, instead of $982,699,000 as proposed by the House and 

$975,504,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Panel Attorney Pay Rates.—The conference agreement increases the non-capital panel attorney rate from $110 to $125 per 

hour, instead of $139 as proposed by the House and $115 as proposed by the Senate. Private panel attorney rates in capital cases 

are provided a cost-of-living adjustment from $175 to $177 per 

hour. 

FEES OF JURORS AND COMMISSIONERS

The conference agreement provides $61,861,000 for Fees of Jurors and Commissioners, instead of $62,275,000 as proposed by 

both the House and the Senate. 

COURT SECURITY

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $452,607,000 for court security, instead of $457,353,000 as proposed by both the House and 

the Senate. The reduction in this account below the House and 

Senate level largely reflects updated estimates of costs for reimbursement of the Federal Protective Service. 

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES COURTS

Section 303 permits not more than $11,000 to be used for official reception and representation expenses of the Judicial Conference. 

Section 304 requires a comprehensive financial plan from the 

Judiciary, which will establish a baseline for reprogrammings and 

transfers. 

Section 305 extends through fiscal year 2010 the delegation of 

authority to the Judiciary for contracts for repairs of less than 

$100,000, as proposed by the House. The Senate proposed language 

amending 40 U.S.C. 3314(a) to make this delegation permanent. 

Section 306 continues a pilot program under which the United 

States Marshals Service provides perimeter security services at selected courthouses. 

Section 307 extends for one year the authorization of temporary district judgeships in Kansas, Ohio, and Hawaii. The House 

proposed language extending the judgeships in Kansas and Ohio 

while the Senate bill contained no similar provisions. 

Except where otherwise noted, the provisions listed above were 

included in similar form in the House and Senate versions of the 

legislation. The conference agreement does not include language 

proposed by the Senate authorizing a cost-of-living salary adjustment for justices and judges of the United States during fiscal year 

2010.

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

The conference agreement includes $75,400,000 for school improvement in the District of Columbia as proposed by the Senate 

instead of $74,400,000 as proposed by the House. Within the 

amount provided, $42,200,000 is to improve public school education, $20,000,000 is to expand public charter schools, and 

$13,200,000 is for the Secretary of Education for opportunity scholarships for low-income students in the District of Columbia for the 

2010–2011 school year, of which up to $1,000,000 may be used to 

administer and fund assessments, and up to $1,000,000 may be

certificate of occupancy issued by the District of Columbia and that 

core subject matter teachers have 4-year bachelor’s degrees as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The agreement includes 

new language requiring schools enrolling scholarship students to be 

in compliance with the accreditation and other standards prescribed for purposes of the District of Columbia compulsory school 

attendance laws as specified under title 5, chapter 21 of D.C. Municipal Regulations. The agreement also includes new language requiring the Secretary of Education to ensure that site inspections 

of participating schools are conducted at least twice annually. 

The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 

Senate requiring the Secretary of Education to submit a report to 

Congress by June 15, 2010 detailing the academic rigor and quality 

of each participating school and that for the purposes of submitting 

the report the Secretary shall administer to eligible students participating in the Opportunity Scholarship Program the same tests 

of academic performance as those administered to students enrolled 

in the District of Columbia Public Schools in the 2009–2010 school 

year. The conference agreement does not include language proposed 

by the Senate specifying that after school year 2009–2010 only 

schools determined by the Secretary of Education to be of superior 

academic rigor and quality to D.C. Public Schools may participate 

in the scholarship program. 

The conferees believe that questions as to the future of a school 

voucher program in the District of Columbia, including the appropriate rules and limitations for such a program, would best be decided by the elected representatives of the people of the District. 

This would put the District in the same position as other jurisdictions that decide whether or not to have a school voucher program, 

consistent with the principles of home rule. 

Although the authorization for the Opportunity Scholarship 

Program has expired, as noted above the conference agreement includes funds to continue scholarships in school year 2010–2011 for 

those students already participating. The conferees are aware of 

proposals to expand the scholarship program to include additional 

students. If the elected leaders of the District decide that such proposals are in the best interests of students and families in the District, there is time prior to the beginning of school year 2010–2011 

for the Mayor and Council to enact legislation establishing and 

funding a school voucher program that could admit additional students. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR CONSOLIDATED LABORATORY FACILITY

The conference agreement provides $15,000,000 for a consolidated laboratory facility in the District of Columbia as proposed by 

both the House and the Senate. The conferees note that this is the 

final Federal payment needed to complete work on this important 

project. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA NATIONAL GUARD

The conference agreement provides $375,000 for the District of 

Columbia National Guard instead of $2,375,000 as proposed by the 

House. The funds provided are for the D.C. National Guard tuition 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
910 

assistance program. No funds are provided in the conference agreement for support costs associated with the D.C. National Guard. 

The Senate did not propose funding for D.C. Guard support costs although the Senate proposed $350,000 for the D.C. National 

Guard tuition assistance program under the ‘‘Federal Payment for 

Emergency Planning and Security Costs’’ heading of this title. 

The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 

House that the D.C. National Guard’s tuition assistance program 

will hereafter be known as the ‘‘Major General David F. Wherley, 

Jr. District of Columbia National Guard Retention and College Access Program’’. General Wherley was a former commanding general 

of the D.C. National Guard and was killed in the tragic Metrorail 

train crash that occurred in Washington, D.C. on June 22, 2009. As 

commanding general of the D.C. National Guard, General Wherley 

was in frequent contact with Congress in order to further the ability of the Guard to serve the citizens of the District of Columbia, 

as well as the Nation’s elected leadership. Among a number of initiatives, General Wherley advocated on behalf of the Capital 

Guardians for funding for a retention and college access program 

to ensure that members of the D.C. National Guard received some 

of the same benefits for their service as members of the National 

Guard in neighboring states. The D.C. National Guard and the entire community of the District of Columbia lost a dedicated leader 

and public servant in General Wherley. In honor of his service to 

the District of Columbia and his commitment to those he worked 

with, the D.C. National Guard tuition assistance program will 

hereafter carry his name. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS

The conference agreement provides $17,000,000 for a permanent supportive housing program to reduce homelessness in the 

District of Columbia instead of $19,200,000 as proposed by the 

House. The Senate version of the bill did not include funding for 

this program. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR YOUTH SERVICES

The conference agreement provides $4,000,000 for a reconnecting disconnected youth program in the District of Columbia instead of $5,000,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate version 

of the bill did not include funding for this program. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES

The conference agreement does not provide a Federal payment 

to the District of Columbia for HIV/AIDS prevention programs. The 

House proposed $4,000,000 for this program; the Senate version of 

the bill did not include funding. 

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FUNDS

The conference agreement provides authority for the District of 

Columbia to spend $10,016,041,000 from the General Fund of the 

District of Columbia. Of the funds provided, $5,637,824,000 is from 

local funds, of which $394,417,000 is from the general fund balance; $2,661,782,000 is from Federal grant funds; $1,711,249,000 is 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
911 

from other funds; and $5,187,000 is from private funds. In addition, 

the District may use $185,725,000 from funds previously appropriated in this Act as Federal payments. 

For capital construction, the conference agreement provides an 

additional $3,249,642,000. Of the funds provided, $2,685,760,000 is 

from local funds; $54,893,000 is from the District of Columbia 

Highway Trust Fund; $186,805,000 is from the Local Street Maintenance Fund; and $322,184,000 is from Federal grant funds. In 

addition, $1,834,494,000 of prior year local funds and $91,327,000 

from Local Street Maintenance funds are rescinded. In total, 

$1,323,821,000 is provided for capital construction. 

Any changes to the financial plan submitted by the District of 

Columbia for Federal funds must follow the reprogramming guidelines set forth under title VIII of this Act. 

TITLE V 

INDEPENDENT AGENCIES 

ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $1,500,000 for the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) as proposed by 

both the House and the Senate. The conferees expect ACUS to use 

50 percent of fiscal year 2009 carryover balances to fund fiscal year 

2010 operating expenses as permitted under section 609 of division 

D of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–8). 

Funds remain available until September 30, 2011 as proposed by 

the Senate. 

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS FELLOWSHIP FOUNDATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $750,000 for the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation, instead of $1,000,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. The House did not include an appropriation for this account. 

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

This conference agreement does not include funding for the 

Commodity Futures Trading Commission. While the Senate included funding for the Commission in its version of the bill, 

$168,800,000 in fiscal year 2010 funding for the Commission has 

been enacted in the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and 

Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 

2010 (Public Law 111–80).

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $118,200,000 for the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) as proposed by the 

House, instead of $115,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Funding is provided for the ongoing implementation and enforcement of recently enacted consumer protection legislation, including the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, and the Children’s 

Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. Funding is also provided to support 

expansion of the CPSC’s Import Safety Initiative which positions 

CPSC investigators at key ports of entry to stop defective products 

from entering the United States. The conferees expect new staff 

hires, including at key ports of entry, as part of these implementation and enforcement efforts. 

The conference agreement also provides funding to assist the 

CPSC in further identifying and addressing problems that may be 

associated with imported drywall from China. 

The conference agreement modifies House report language regarding the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 

2008 (Public Law 110–314). The CPSIA was signed into law on August 14, 2008 and is considered to be the most significant piece of 

consumer protection legislation enacted since the CPSC was established in the early 1970s. The legislation received nearly unanimous bipartisan support in Congress. Congress passed this legislation in the wake of a massive number of consumer product recalls 

in 2007 and 2008—more than 20 million—many of which involved 

toys manufactured in China. The conferees strongly support this 

legislation but are aware of concerns surrounding implementation 

of certain aspects of the law. The conferees believe there may be 

parts of some products subject to the strict lead ban under section 

101(a) of the CPSIA that likely were not intended to be included. 

This includes parts of youth motorized off-road vehicles and bicycles, and may include parts of some sporting equipment and ordinary books. The conferees urge the CPSC to continue considering 

exemptions under section 101(b) of the CPSIA for parts of products 

that, based on the CPSC’s determination, present no real risk of 

lead exposure to children. The conferees are also aware of concerns 

among small manufacturers and crafters regarding the third-party 

testing requirements under section 102 of the CPSIA and urge the 

CPSC to consider those when issuing rules and guidance on thirdparty testing. 

The conferees further encourage the CPSC to continue to work 

with the off-road vehicle and other industries to reduce lead content in accessible components of all children’s products to the greatest extent possible, where complete compliance is deemed not necessary or not feasible by the CPSC. The conferees note that the 

CPSC has already instituted a stay of enforcement until May 1, 

2011 on the lead standard with regard to youth motorized recreational vehicles (which include all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, 

and snowmobiles) with the expectation that the industries would 

work constructively with the CPSC in reducing lead levels as feasible. The CPSC is directed to assess enforcement efforts of section 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
913 

101(a), including difficulties encountered, as well as recommendations for improvement to the statute, and to report to the House 

and Senate Appropriations Committees, as well as the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, 

and Transportation Committee, no later than January 15, 2010. 

ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes $17,959,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the Election Assistance Commission as proposed 

by the House, instead of $16,530,000 proposed by the Senate. 

Included in this total is $3,500,000 to be transferred to the National Institute of Standards and Technology for election reform activities as proposed by the House. The Senate proposed a transfer 

of $3,250,000. Further included in the total is $750,000 for the 

Help America Vote College Program and $300,000 for a competitive 

grant program to support community involvement in student and 

parent mock elections, as proposed by the House. 

ELECTION REFORM PROGRAMS

The conference agreement provides a total of $75,000,000 for 

this account, instead of $106,000,000 as proposed by the House and 

$52,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Within this total, $70,000,000 is designated for requirements 

payments under the Help America Vote Act, compared to 

$100,000,000 in the House bill and $50,000,000 in the Senate bill. 

Also within the total is $3,000,000 for grants to carry out research 

on voting technology improvements to ensure accessibility for voters with disabilities, and $2,000,000 for a pilot program of grants 

to States and units of local government for pre-election logic and 

accuracy testing and post-election voting systems verification. The 

House proposed $4,000,000 and $2,000,000 for these grant programs, respectively, while the Senate proposed $2,000,000 for voting technology research grants only. 

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $335,794,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Federal Communications Commission 

(FCC) as proposed by the House and the Senate. The House recedes to the Senate in providing that $335,794,000 be derived from 

offsetting fee collections with no net direct appropriation. 

The conferees believe that all persons living under the American flag, including those living in the United States territories, 

should have equal access to communications services. 

The 9/11 Commission identified the need to increase the assignment of spectrum for first responders in its July 2004 report. 

The conferees are disappointed that the Federal Government has 

yet to address this critical need. The FCC is directed to work expeditiously to conduct a successful auction of the D Block spectrum 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
914 

so that first responders have an interoperable communications network. 

Conferees urge the FCC to ensure that public, educational, and 

governmental (PEG) channels remain on the basic service tier of 

programming and to prevent cable service providers from impeding 

the public’s access to PEG programming. 

The conferees are concerned that some Federal agencies may 

not be improving controls over wireless networks as delineated in 

the Government Accountability Office’s 2005 report (GAO–05–383). 

Therefore, the conferees direct GAO to update its report and include a review of Federal agencies and their wireless networks, including an assessment of vulnerabilities to attack and unauthorized penetration; an examination of best practices within Federal 

agencies for deploying and monitoring secure wireless networks; 

and an assessment of state-of-the-art technology solutions that 

could help protect these networks. GAO shall report its findings to 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 

days of enactment of this Act. 

The conferees emphasize the importance of effective auditing of 

the Universal Service Fund (USF). The FCC is directed to work 

with the Universal Service Administrative Company and the FCC 

Inspector General to re-evaluate auditing processes to ensure that 

audits are more uniform and not unduly onerous, that all auditors 

are familiar with the telecommunications industry, and that lessons learned from audits are translated into better performance in 

the future. Senate report language requiring a report on USF audit 

activity within 60 days of enactment of this Act is adopted. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Section 501 extends an exemption for the Universal Service 

Fund as proposed by the Senate. The House did not include a similar provision. 

Section 502 prohibits the Federal Communications Commission 

from changing rules governing the Universal Service Fund regarding single connection or primary line restrictions as proposed by 

the Senate. The House did not include a similar provision. 

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference report includes $37,942,000 to fund the Office 

of Inspector General (OIG) as proposed by both the House and the 

Senate. The OIG’s appropriations are derived from the Deposit Insurance Fund. However, if the OIG performs work in connection 

with the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation Resolution Fund, the cost of such work can be derived from that Fund. 

FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $66,500,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the Federal Election Commission, instead of 

$65,100,000 as proposed by the House and $67,000,000 as proposed 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
915 

by the Senate. Of the increase provided above the President’s budget request, $1,500,000 is for maintaining current staffing levels and 

services, and $1,000,000 is for addressing audit findings related to 

information technology, enhancing public access to electronic 

records, and addressing increased workload demands. 

FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTHORITY

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $24,773,000 for the Federal 

Labor Relations Authority as proposed by the House and the Senate. 

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $291,700,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) as proposed by the House, rather than $289,300,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. This appropriation is partially offset by not to exceed 

$102,000,000 from premerger notification filing fees and 

$21,000,000 from fees to implement the Telemarketing Sales Rule. 

These offsets are the same as proposed by both the House and the 

Senate, except that the House proposed $19,000,000 in fees from 

the Telemarketing Sales Rule. 

The increase above the President’s budget request provided in 

the conference agreement is to strengthen the FTC’s capacity to 

protect consumers and prevent anti-competitive practices, as well 

as to support required activities related to health information technology provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. 

Among other priorities, the conferees request the FTC to direct a 

portion of the increase toward investigations into fraud related to 

the housing crisis (including mortgage and other financial services 

fraud) and into unfair and deceptive practices associated with Federal programs promoting economic stimulus and stabilization. The 

conferees also note that, of the increase above fiscal year 2009, 

$15,000,000 is to cover one-time relocation costs associated with 

the upcoming expiration of a lease. 

The conferees appreciate that the FTC has delayed implementation of the Red Flags Rule while it works with health care providers and small businesses to minimize the burdens on providers 

and firms that present low risk for identity theft. The conferees 

urge the FTC to continue to work with these groups on the implementation of the Red Flags Rule. 

The conferees also encourage the FTC to continue its efforts in 

the areas of call spoofing and violations of the Do Not Call Registry 

and to fully pursue further violations.

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

REAL PROPERTY ACTIVITIES

FEDERAL BUILDINGS FUND

LIMITATIONS ON AVAILABILITY OF REVENUE

The conference agreement provides resources from the General 

Services Administration (GSA) Federal Buildings Fund totaling 

$8,543,585,000, instead of $8,445,460,000 as proposed by the House 

and $8,488,585,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Construction and Acquisition.—The conference agreement pro- vides $894,037,000 for construction and acquisition, instead of 

$722,537,000 as proposed by the House and $734,037,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funds are provided for the following specific 

construction projects and acquisitions, in the amounts indicated: 

Alabama: 

Mobile, United States Courthouse ................................................ $50,000,000 

California: 

Calexico, Calexico West, Land Port of Entry ............................... 9,437,000

San Antonio, United States Courthouse ....................................... 4,000,000 

Utah: 

Salt Lake City, United States Courthouse ................................... 211,000,000 

The conferees understand that the need for a replacement 

courthouse in Yuma, Arizona, as discussed in the Senate report, 

will be addressed with funds previously appropriated. 

Five-Year Construction Plans.—The conferees have included 

bill language that clarifies the requirement that the annual budget 

submission to Congress for GSA contain two separate 5-year plans. 

These plans were required by the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 

2009 for fiscal year 2010 and thereafter. The conferees expect that 

GSA and the Office of Management and Budget will ensure that 

plans are submitted to Congress contemporaneously with the annual budget submission for fiscal year 2011 and each year thereafter. Requests for courthouse construction projects, including those 

proposed as lease-construction projects, shall be included in the 5- 

year plan for Federal construction, and this plan shall reflect the 

priorities of the Judicial Conference of the United States. 

Report on Lease Construction.—The conferees reiterate language in the Senate report directing GSA and the Judicial Conference to submit a joint report to the Committees on AppropriaVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00920 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

tions within 120 days of enactment identifying the circumstances 

under which it would be appropriate to provide court facilities 

using a lease-construct strategy. 

Repairs and Alterations.—The conference agreement provides 

$413,776,000 for repairs and alterations, instead of $400,276,000 as 

proposed by the House and $453,776,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funds are provided for the following specific projects, in the 

amounts indicated: 

District of Columbia: 

East Wing Infrastructure Systems Replacement ......................... $84,500,000 

Eisenhower Executive Office Building Roof Replacement .......... 15,000,000 

New Executive Office Building ...................................................... 30,276,000 

Special Emphasis Programs: 

Fire and Life Safety Program ........................................................ 20,000,000 

Energy and Water Retrofit and Conservation Measures ............ 2,000,000 

Federal High-Performance Green Buildings ................................ 2,000,000 

Basic Repairs and Alterations .............................................................. 260,000,000 

While unable to appropriate the full amount needed for the 

East Wing Infrastructure Systems Replacement project, the conferees recognize the need for this undertaking and would support 

additional funding if it became available. The conferees understand 

that bids for construction projects have recently often been coming 

in below the budgeted amounts, and would invite a transfer/reprogramming request redirecting such savings to the East Wing 

project. 

The conferees are strongly supportive of the special emphasis 

programs for Energy and Water Retrofit and Conservation Measures and Federal High-Performance Green Buildings. Although this 

conference report provides less for those two programs than appropriated in fiscal year 2009, that is only because large amounts are 

currently available for such purposes under the American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act. 

The conference agreement does not include the funding proposed by the Senate for the Eisenhower Executive Office Building 

Courtyard Replacement. 

Installment Acquisition Payments.—The conference agreement 

includes $140,525,000 for installment acquisition payments, as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

Rental of Space.—The conference agreement provides 

$4,804,871,000 for rental of space, instead of $4,843,996,000 as proposed by the House and $4,829,871,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Building Operations.—The conference agreement provides 

$2,290,376,000 for building operations, instead of $2,338,126,000 as 

proposed by the House and $2,330,376,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

GENERAL ACTIVITIES

GOVERNMENT-WIDE POLICY

The conference agreement appropriates $59,665,000 for GSA 

Government-wide Policy activities, instead of $63,165,000 proposed 

by the House and $61,165,000 proposed by the Senate. The agreement does not provide the $1,500,000 requested by the President

stitute from the Acquisition Workforce Training Fund to this appropriation. 

Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings.—The conference agreement, like the Senate bill, does not include language 

proposed by the House providing $3,000,000 for the Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings. That Office and its mission remain a very high priority for the conferees. The only reason 

no new funding is included in this legislation is that GSA appears 

to have obligated little, if any, of the amount provided for the Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings in the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and therefore ample carryover balances remain. The conferees reiterate the language in the 

Senate report directing GSA to use the funds provided in ARRA to 

hire the necessary staff and ensure that the Office immediately begins fulfilling its responsibilities, to submit to the Committees on 

Appropriations a detailed expenditure plan within 30 days of enactment of this Act, and to report on the obligation of the ARRA funds 

on a monthly basis. 

Study on Pricing of Office Supplies.—The conferees note that 

GSA is authorized to award contracts to private firms under terms 

and conditions that mirror commercial practices for commercial 

supplies and services through its Multiple Award Schedule Program. Recently, some Federal agencies have announced savings 

through improvements in the process of purchasing office products 

outside of GSA’s schedules. Therefore, the conferees direct the Administrator of GSA to review the ten largest Federal agencies to (1) 

determine the level of funds spent on office products during fiscal 

year 2009 through the GSA schedules and outside of these schedules, (2) compare the prices paid through the schedules and outside 

the schedules for representative items within major categories of 

individual office products, and (3) determine the extent to which 

agencies conducted a cost-benefit analysis of alternative options. 

The Administrator shall report to the Committees on Appropriations its findings not later than 180 days after enactment of this 

Act. Additionally, the conferees direct GAO to assess the data collected by GSA and report to the Committees on Appropriations its 

assessment, with particular attention on the potential for savings. 

OPERATING EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $72,881,000 for operating 

expenses of GSA as proposed by the House instead of $71,881,000 

as proposed by the Senate. Included in this total is $1,000,000 for 

a payment to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation as 

proposed by the House. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement provides $59,000,000 for the Office 

of Inspector General, instead of $60,080,000 as proposed by the 

House and $58,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $34,000,000 for the Electronic Government Fund, instead of $33,000,000 as proposed by the 

House and $35,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. As specified in 

both bills, these funds may be transferred to other Federal agencies 

to carry out the purposes of the Electronic Government Fund, but 

only after a spending plan and explanation for each project has 

been submitted to the Committees on Appropriations. 

ALLOWANCES AND STAFF FOR FORMER PRESIDENTS

The conference agreement includes $3,756,000 for allowances 

and staff for former Presidents, as proposed by both the House and 

the Senate. 

FEDERAL CITIZEN SERVICES FUND

The conference agreement appropriates $36,515,000 for deposit 

into the Federal Citizen Services Fund and authorizes use of appropriations, revenues and collections in the Fund in an aggregate 

amount not to exceed $61,000,000. These provisions are the same 

as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Section 510 specifies that funds are available for hire of motor 

vehicles. 

Section 511 authorizes transfers within the Federal Buildings 

Fund, with advance approval of the Committees on Appropriations. 

Section 512 prohibits use of funds to transmit a fiscal year 

2011 request for courthouse construction unless the request meets 

design guide standards, reflects the priorities in the Judicial Conference 5-year construction plan, and includes a standardized 

courtroom utilization study. 

Section 513 specifies that funds in this Act may not be used 

to increase the amount of occupiable space or provide services such 

as cleaning or security for any agency that does not pay the rental 

charges assessed by GSA. 

Section 514 permits GSA to pay certain construction-related 

claims against the Federal Government from savings achieved in 

other projects. 

Section 515 requires that the delineated area of procurement 

for leased space match the approved prospectus, unless the Administrator provides an explanatory statement to the appropriate congressional committees. 

Section 516 authorizes certain relief and disaster assistance organizations to purchase from the Federal supply schedules. 

All of these administrative provisions were included in both 

the House and Senate versions of the legislation.

MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes $42,918,000 for the salaries

MORRIS K. UDALL AND STEWART L. UDALL FOUNDATION

MORRIS K. UDALL AND STEWART L. UDALL TRUST FUND

The conference agreement includes $2,500,000 for payment to 

the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Trust Fund, instead of 

$2,200,000 as proposed by the House and $3,850,000 as proposed 

by the Senate. The conference agreement reflects the new name of 

the Foundation and the Trust Fund, as specified in the Morris K. 

Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation Act (Public Law 111–90). 

ENVIRONMENTAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION FUND

The conference agreement includes $3,800,000 for payment to

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

OPERATING EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $339,770,000 for operating 

expenses of the National Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA), as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

The conferees reiterate House language directing NARA to report to the Committees within 30 days of enactment on information 

security improvements made or planned, and further direct NARA 

to promptly inform relevant committees of jurisdiction when any 

formal law enforcement investigation is commenced into alleged 

theft of electronic or other materials which may contain personally 

identifying information. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

requested, is for the initiative to provide online access to the papers

NATIONAL CREDIT UNION ADMINISTRATION

For the second year, the conference report provides the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Central Liquidity Facility (CLF) the ability to lend, during fiscal year 2010, up to the 

maximum level provided for by section 307(a)(4)(A) of the Federal 

Credit Union Act. This gives the NCUA flexibility to assist with 

credit unions’ financial liquidity during the current economic downturn. The NCUA will be expected to keep the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations fully informed on the activities of 

the CLF. 

The conference report limits administrative expenses to 

$1,250,000 as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REVOLVING LOAN FUND

Development Revolving Loan Fund as proposed by the House, instead of $1,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

by the Senate. 

OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF TRUST FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $215,708,000 for salaries 

and expenses compared to $211,208,000 as proposed by the House 

and $207,708,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within the amount 

provided, $102,970,000 is a direct appropriation and $112,738,000 

is a transfer from Office of Personnel Management (OPM) trust 

funds. 

The direct appropriation of $102,970,000 includes $5,908,000 to 

remain available until September 30, 2011 for the Enterprise 

Human Resources Integration project, and $1,364,000 to remain 

available until September 30, 2011 for the Human Resources Line 

of Business project. 

The transfer from trust funds of $112,738,000 includes 

$9,300,000 to remain available until September 30, 2011 for the 

cost of implementing the new integrated financial system, and 

$4,000,000 to remain available until September 30, 2011 for the 

cost of automating the retirement recordkeeping systems. 

The conference agreement includes funding for new initiatives 

to expand the recruitment and hiring of veterans government-wide, 

and to streamline the Federal hiring process. 

The conference agreement also includes funding to pilot several 

wellness initiatives for Federal employees in areas such as smoking 

cessation, disease management and prevention, and risk assessment, as well as funding to conduct an Employee Viewpoint Survey 

(formerly known as the Human Capital Survey) annually instead 

of every other year as is the current practice, and with more comprehensive data analysis. 

The conferees reiterate House report language directing that 

future work on the retirement modernization program move forward within the framework of the recommendations made by the 

Government Accountability Office in its April 2009 report (GAO– 

09–529) on the subject. 

The conferees reiterate Senate report language directing OPM 

to carry out the Intergovernmental Personnel Act Mobility Program 

and to report to the Committees on Appropriations no later than 

120 days after enactment of this Act on how the mobility program 

is being used to alleviate the nursing shortage and on the demonstrable steps OPM has taken to encourage government-employed 

nurses to teach at accredited schools of nursing. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF TRUST FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $24,363,000 for salaries

$23,576,000 as proposed by the House and $22,564,000 as proposed 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
923 

by the Senate. Within the amount provided, $3,148,000 is a direct

and the Senate. 

OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $18,495,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the Office of Special Counsel as proposed by both 

the House and the Senate. 

POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $14,333,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the Postal Regulatory Commission, as proposed by 

both the House and the Senate. It does not include language proposed by the House requiring any unobligated balances remaining 

at the end of fiscal years 2009 and 2010 to be transferred back to 

the Postal Service Fund. 

Proposed Closings of Postal Facilities.—The conferees are 

aware of considerable public concerns about plans by the Postal 

Service to close or consolidate retail post offices and other mail facilities, and believe that the Postal Regulatory Commission has an 

important role to play in evaluating those concerns and fostering 

well-informed decision making. The conferees commend the Commission for undertaking its current investigation of the national 

service implications of the Postal Service ‘‘Station and Branch Optimization and Consolidation Initiative’’ and urge the Commission to 

initiate such other proceedings as appropriate to fully evaluate the 

effects of proposed closings and consolidations on service levels, 

costs, postal employees, and the affected communities. Among 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
924 

other issues, the Commission should examine whether Postal Service actions, including notification and appeal procedures, are in accord with applicable law. 

PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES OVERSIGHT BOARD

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $1,500,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board as 

proposed by the Senate, rather than $2,000,000 as proposed by the 

House. The funds shall remain available for two years as proposed 

by the House, instead of one year as proposed by the Senate. 

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference report includes $1,111,000,000 for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), instead of $1,036,000,000 as 

proposed by the House and $1,126,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference report provides that the SEC Office of Inspector 

General shall receive no less than $4,400,000 as proposed by the 

House, a provision not included in the Senate bill. 

The conference report provides that, in addition to $16,084,200 

derived from prior year unobligated balances, an additional 

$1,094,915,800 shall be derived from offsetting collections. 

The SEC’s Office of Global Security Risk shall submit reports 

to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations every six 

months as described in the House and Senate reports and ensure 

that all companies sold on United States exchanges operating in 

State Department-designated terrorist-sponsoring states are disclosing such activities to investors. 

The conferees acknowledge efforts to identify ways to harmonize oversight of futures and securities products to achieve 

greater protection of investors, ensure market integrity, and promote price transparency. The GAO is directed to assess the harmonization report issued on October 16, 2009 jointly by the SEC and 

the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and report to Congress not later than March 1, 2010 with comments on the report 

and recommendations on ways to reduce or eliminate discrepancies 

and gaps in oversight, enhance regulatory effectiveness and efficiency, and heighten market transparency. 

An increase over the requested level is provided to support the 

SEC’s performance-based pay system, as well as to enhance enforcement, capital market oversight, and investor protection activities, including investigations of accounting fraud, market manipulation, insider trading, and investment scams that target seniors 

and low-income communities. The SEC should also increase its effort to improve oversight of investment banking institutions.

SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $24,275,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the Selective Service System, instead of 

$24,400,000 as proposed by the Senate and $24,150,000 as proposed by the House. 

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $433,438,000 for the salaries and expenses account of the Small Business Administration 

(SBA), instead of $428,387,000 as proposed by the House and 

$444,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Of the amount provided under this heading, $248,088,000 is 

for operating expenses of the SBA including funds for an additional 

80 full-time equivalents to address increased workload needs, and 

$185,350,000 is for non-credit programs. In addition, $153,000,000 

from the Business Loans Program Account and $75,588,200 from 

the Disaster Loans Program Account may be transferred to and 

merged with the Salaries and Expenses account for the administrative expenses related to those accounts. 

The conferees direct that no less than the following amounts 

shall be dedicated to the following SBA non-credit programs: 

Veterans Programs ................................................................................ $2,500,000 

7(j) Technical Assistance Programs ...................................................... 3,400,000 

Small Business Development Centers ................................................. 113,000,000 

SCORE .................................................................................................... 7,000,000 

Women’s Business Centers ................................................................... 14,000,000 

Women’s Business Council .................................................................... 1,000,000 

Native American Outreach ................................................................... 1,250,000 

Drug-free Workplace Program .............................................................. 1,000,000 

Microloan Technical Assistance ............................................................ 22,000,000 

PRIME .................................................................................................... 8,000,000 

HUBZone ................................................................................................ 2,200,000 

Entrepreneurial Development Initiative .............................................. 10,000,000 

Total, non-credit programs ................................................................ 185,350,000 

The conferees direct that the amounts provided for SBA’s noncredit business assistance programs, as specified in the table above, 

shall be administered in the same manner as previous years and 

shall not be reduced, reallocated, or reprogrammed to provide additional funds for other programs, initiatives, or activities. In addition, the conferees expect that the National Ombudsman; the Office 

of Advocacy, including support for the Advocacy Database; international trade programs; and the defense transition program receive no less than the fiscal year 2009 level of funding. 

The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 

Senate increasing from 25 percent to 50 percent for fiscal year 2010 

the formula specified under section 7(m)(4)(A) of the Small Business Act for calculating microloan technical assistance grants to 

lending intermediaries. The conference agreement does not include 

language proposed by the Senate that would waive the matching 

fund requirements for intermediaries receiving microloan technical 

assistance grants. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS

The conference agreement includes $10,000,000 for the Administrator’s Entrepreneurial Development Initiative as proposed by 

the Senate instead of $15,000,000 as proposed by the House. The 

conference agreement does not include language proposed by the 

Senate that would waive section 7(e) of the Small Business Act for 

the purpose of providing grant funding in executing this initiative. 

The conferees modify House report language directing SBA to submit a detailed spending plan for the Entrepreneurial Development 

Initiative within 45 days of enactment of this Act and that obligation of funds for the initiative will be contingent upon approval of 

such a spending plan by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. The plan should include a discussion of the strategies 

and goals of the Entrepreneurial Development Initiative and the 

methodologies for selecting funding recipients and assessing performance, as requested in the Senate report. 

The conferees reiterate Senate report language strongly encouraging SBA to consider funding veterans’ business outreach centers that have significant experience conducting outreach to veterans including those previously receiving Federal funding. 

The conference agreement does not include funding for SBA re- location costs. The House and Senate proposed $10,000,000 associated with a potential move of SBA headquarters to another location 

within Washington, D.C. A decision was made in October 2009 that 

SBA will be staying in its current building under a new lease, obviating the need to provide relocation costs in this Act. The conference agreement does provide funding to cover higher space rental and operating costs associated with the new lease. 

The conference agreement provides sufficient funds to administer small business development and entrepreneurship initiatives 

provided in section 523. 

The conference agreement includes language proposed by the Senate providing $2,000,000 for the Federal and State Technology 

Partnership Program. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement provides $16,300,000 for the Office 

of Inspector General of the Small Business Administration as proposed by both the House and the Senate. An additional $1,000,000 

is available for transfer into this account from the Disaster Loans 

Program Account. 

SURETY BOND GUARANTEES REVOLVING FUND

The conference agreement provides $1,000,000 for this account 

as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

BUSINESS LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $236,000,000 for the Business Loans Program Account as proposed by both the House and 

the Senate. Of the amount provided, $3,000,000 is for the cost of 

direct loans in the microloan program, $80,000,000 is for the cost 

of guaranteed loans as authorized by section 7(a) of the Small Business Act, and $153,000,000 is for administrative expenses to carry 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
927 

out the direct and guaranteed loan programs and may be transferred to and merged with Salaries and Expenses. 

DISASTER LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes $78,278,200 for the Disaster Loans Program Account instead of $104,000,000 as proposed 

by both the House and the Senate. Of the amount provided, 

$1,690,000 is for the cost of guaranteed loans, of which $352,357 

is for loan guarantees as authorized by section 42 of the Small 

Business Act, and $1,337,643 is for loan guarantees as authorized 

by section 12085 of Public Law 110–246. The remaining 

$76,588,200 is for administrative expenses to carry out the direct 

and guaranteed loan programs, of which $65,278,200 is for direct 

administrative expenses of loan making and servicing to carry out 

the direct loan program, which may be transferred to and merged 

with Salaries and Expenses; $9,000,000 is for indirect administrative expenses for the direct loan program, which may be transferred to and merged with Salaries and Expenses; $1,000,000 is for 

the Office of Inspector General for audits and reviews of disaster 

loans and the disaster loan programs; and $1,310,000 is for administrative expenses to carry out the guaranteed loan programs, 

which may be transferred to and merged with Salaries and Expenses. Any direct loan subsidies required in fiscal year 2010 will 

be derived from available unobligated balances. 

The $76,588,200 provided for disaster administrative expenses 

takes into account a November 2009 report from SBA regarding actual no-year balances that carried forward from fiscal year 2009 

into fiscal year 2010. Actual carryforward balances for disaster administrative expenses are $41,000,000 above the carryforward estimates included in the budget request. In light of this information, 

the conference agreement reflects a fiscal year 2010 appropriation 

$25,721,800 below the amounts recommended by the House and 

the Senate. The conferees note, however, that when all sources of 

funding are considered, including the higher than anticipated 

carryforward balances, disaster administrative expenses are funded 

above SBA’s fiscal year 2010 budget request in order to provide additional flexibility in the event fiscal year 2010 funding needs exceed the level requested. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Section 520 allows transfers between accounts as proposed by 

both the House and the Senate. 

Section 521 as proposed by the Senate specifies that disaster 

loans issued in Alaska or North Dakota shall be administered by 

the Small Business Administration and shall not be sold during fiscal year 2010. 

Section 522 makes a technical correction to Public Law 111– 

8.

UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

PAYMENT TO THE POSTAL SERVICE FUND

The conference agreement provides $118,328,000 for a payment to the Postal Service Fund, of which $89,328,000 is an advance appropriation for fiscal year 2011 to continue free mail for 

the blind and for overseas voting materials, and of which 

$29,000,000 is for the annual repayment of revenue foregone as required by law. These provisions are the same as proposed by both 

the House and the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes provisions directing that 

mail for the blind and for overseas voting shall continue to be free 

and that six-day delivery and rural mail delivery shall continue at 

not less than the 1983 level. Further, it includes language prohibiting use of funds in this Act to charge a fee for providing information to child support enforcement programs or to consolidate or 

close small rural and other small post offices. All of these provisions were also contained in the House and Senate bills. 

Closings of Postal Facilities.—Numerous concerns and criticisms have been brought to the attention of the conferees regarding 

Postal Service plans to close or otherwise consolidate various retail 

and mail handling facilities. The conferees believe that the Postal 

Regulatory Commission is an appropriate forum for evaluating 

these proposals and the attendant concerns and have urged that 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
936 

the Commission take appropriate action to do so in language included under that heading. 

In addition, the conferees direct the Government Accountability Office to update its previous studies regarding Postal Service initiatives to realign its mail processing network, including proposed closures or consolidations of area mail processing facilities, 

and to report to the Committees on Appropriations and other appropriate congressional committees not later than 6 months after 

enactment of this Act. GAO’s study should address the criteria 

used in selecting facilities for closure or consolidation, whether 

those criteria are being applied reasonably and consistently in particular cases, the adequacy of efforts to communicate and consult 

with affected communities and stakeholders, and the quality of efforts to evaluate the results of closures and consolidations. 

Financial Condition of the Postal Service.—The conferees are 

concerned about the financial condition of the Postal Service. In fiscal year 2009, the Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.8 billion 

that would have totaled $7.8 billion, had Congress not reduced the 

Postal Service’s retiree health benefits payment by $4 billion. Significant declines in mail volume, exacerbated by the struggling 

economy, have contributed to the most recent Postal Service financial crisis. 

The conferees applaud the Postal Service for its efforts to reduce costs. In fiscal year 2009, the Postal Service reduced its operating expenses by $6.1 billion. These cost-cutting efforts must continue in close coordination with stakeholders and with careful consideration of the effect proposed cuts may have on service and volume. 

Despite cost-cutting efforts, the financial condition of the Postal Service remains dire. The conferees understand that the Postal 

Service has requested legislative relief from the requirement that 

the Postal Service pre-fund a significant portion of its future retiree 

health benefits through the end of fiscal year 2016. Congress reduced the fiscal year 2009 payment from $5.4 billion to $1.4 billion. 

The Postal Service continues to seek a reduction or elimination of 

future mandated payments. 

The conferees understand that both the Postal Service Inspector General (IG) and the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) have 

reviewed the payment stream under the Postal Accountability and 

Enhancement Act of 2006 (PAEA). The IG concluded that the current schedule would result in an overpayment to the retirement 

fund by the end of fiscal year 2016, and the PRC study concluded 

that the unfunded liability would not be as high as originally estimated. Because some experts, including OPM, have expressed concerns about the assumptions made in the Postal Service IG and 

PRC reports, the conferees urge the Postal Service to coordinate 

with OPM and OMB to develop a fiscally responsible legislative 

proposal, for consideration by the appropriate congressional committees, that would grant a limited measure of relief from the 

PAEA requirements to pre-fund retiree health benefits. These proposals should consider: (1) whether the PAEA-mandated stream of 

future payments overfunds through fiscal year 2016 the anticipated 

liability of the Postal Service for future retiree health benefits, (2) 

whether modifications to the mandated payments could meet the 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
937 

unliquidated liability goals contained in the PAEA, and (3) whether 

a decrease in mandated payments will reduce the incentive of the 

Postal Service to continue to cut additional costs. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $244,397,000 for the Office 

of Inspector General, as proposed by both the House and the Senate. It does not include language proposed by the House requiring 

any unobligated balances remaining at the end of fiscal years 2009 

and 2010 to be transferred back to the Postal Service Fund. 

UNITED STATES TAX COURT

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement provides $49,241,000 for salaries 

and expenses of the United States Tax Court as proposed by the 

Senate, instead of $49,242,000 as proposed by the House.

of payment or reimbursement for travel, subsistence, or related expenses from any person or entity (or their representative) that engages in activities regulated by such agency or commission. 

Section 617 provides authority for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to obligate funds for a scholarship program. Section 618 rescinds $1,500,000 in unobligated balances for the 

Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, as proposed by the 

Senate. 

Section 619 defines ‘‘payment of cash in advance’’ for purposes 

of section 908(b)(1) of the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000. 

Section 620 revises the Federal and District of Columbia Government Real Property Act of 2006 to advance the date for GSA to 

transfer the Old Naval Hospital to the District to not later than 60 

days after date of enactment of this Act, as proposed by the House. 

Section 621 permits the SEC and CFTC to fund a joint advisory committee to advise on emerging regulatory issues, notwithstanding section 708 of this Act. This provision was not included 

in either the House or Senate bills. 

Section 622 provides that projects contained in the House report that are considered congressional earmarks for purposes of 

clause 9 of House of Representatives rule XXI, when intended to 

be awarded to a for-profit entity, shall be awarded under a full and 

open competition. This provision was not included in either the 

House or Senate bills. 

The above provisions were included in similar form in both the 

House and Senate unless otherwise noted. 

The conference agreement does not include House section 619 

prohibiting the use of funds in this Act to implement or enforce section 101(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act 

(CPSIA) of 2008 in regard to youth motorized off-highway vehicles. 

The conferees note that off-highway vehicles manufactured and 

sold during fiscal year 2010 are not subject to the strict lead limits 

of the CPSIA. The conferees are aware that the Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (CPSC) granted a stay of enforcement of CPSIA 

section 101(a) for certain components of those vehicles until May 

1, 2011, and that CPSC is requiring compliance plans from industry that will indicate how products will be modified to comply with 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
939 

the lead standard as well as which parts have high lead content. 

The conferees recognize that practical issues exist in applying the 

CPSIA to these and certain other products, and address the issue 

in the CPSC account under title V. 

The conference agreement does not include section 901 of the 

House bill concerning first-class travel by Federal employees. The 

conferees support Federal regulations stipulating that employees of 

Federal departments and agencies must use coach-class accommodations for official business travel except as provided under sections 301–10.123 and 301–10.124 of title 41 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations. The House language was redundant to those regulations.

Section 729 recognizes the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency as the official anti-doping agency for Olympic, Pan American and Paralympic 

sport in the United States. 

Section 730 allows funds for official travel to be used by departments and agencies, if consistent with OMB and Budget Circular A–126, to participate in the fractional aircraft ownership pilot 

program. 

Section 731 prohibits funds for implementation of OPM regulations limiting detailees to the Legislative Branch or implementing

Section 733 prohibits funds for E-Government initiatives sponsored by OMB prior to 15 days following submission of a report to

of the Committees’ approval to transfer funds. The section also prohibits funds for new E-Government initiatives without the explicit 

approval of the Committees. 

Section 734 provides authority to transfer funds between agencies to ensure the uninterrupted, continuous operation of the Midway Atoll Airfield. 

Section 735 prohibits funds to begin or announce a study or 

public-private competition regarding conversion to contractor performance pursuant to OMB Circular A–76.

for Federal contracts with inverted corporations, unless the contract preceded this Act or the Secretary grants a waiver in the interest of national security. 

Section 741 prohibits agencies from using funds to implement 

regulations changing the competitive areas under reductions-inforce for Federal employees. 

Section 742 repeals section 748 of division D of the Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–8) to permit the President to modify or replace Executive Order 13423 with a new executive order, but it must achieve equal or better environmental and 

energy results. 

Section 743 creates an annual requirement for every civilian 

agency to compile an inventory of service contracts performed for, 

or on behalf of, the agency during the prior fiscal year. In the abVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00945 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
942 

sence of complete and reliable information on the extent of their reliance on service contractors, Federal agencies are not wellequipped to determine whether they have the right balance of contractor and in-house resources needed to accomplish their missions. 

This section requires agencies to review the contents of the inventory and report on actions taken and requires the Government Accountability Office to provide a series of reports on the implementation of the requirements in this section. It also modifies or replaces 

several provisions contained in the House and the Senate bills relating to tabulating the size of the Federal Government’s contractor 

workforce. 

Section 744 modifies Senate section 736 to provide that the adjustment in rates of basic pay for employees under statutory pay 

systems taking effect in fiscal year 2010 shall be an increase of 2 

percent as recommended by the President and supported in the 

House bill. The conference agreement provides for a base pay adjustment and a locality pay adjustment. 

Section 745 makes a technical correction to section 751 of division D of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111– 

8). 

Section 746 clarifies references to ‘‘this Act’’. 

Section 747 establishes a disclosure and arbitration process to 

determine whether dealers that had their franchise agreements 

terminated or not assumed by a successor company should be 

added to dealer networks of automobile manufacturers partially 

owned by the Federal Government. This provision is a substitute 

for language contained in the House bill which also addressed concerns regarding terminated auto dealers. The Senate had no comparable provision. 

The conferees believe that it is in the national interest that the 

United States automobile industry regain profitability and maintain sufficient dealerships to meet consumer demand. Evidence obtained in numerous Congressional hearings in 2009 demonstrates 

that automobile dealerships are integral parts of their local economy and provide millions of direct and indirect jobs in the United 

States. Automobile dealers are essential to the success of automobile manufacturers because they facilitate distribution, sales, 

and servicing of hundreds of millions of vehicles annually. It is also 

apparent to Congress that high-performing, historically profitable, 

and experienced automobile dealers with longstanding relationships with their customers are best positioned to help automobile 

manufacturers succeed financially. It is in the best interest of automobile manufacturers, the automotive industry, dealers, and the 

public to have a competitive and viable automobile distribution network throughout the country, including in urban, suburban, and 

rural areas. It is in the interest of the local economies, the national 

economy, and the economic recovery to preserve successful small 

businesses. 

The conferees believe that this procedure will best protect the 

due process rights and property interests of all parties, and safeguard the economic public interest, including the substantial taxpayer investment in this critical industry. The approach taken by 

the conference agreement provides for an independent arbitrator to 

assess, on a case-by-case basis, the merits of each dealer’s request 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
943 

to be added to the automobile manufacturer’s dealer network. By 

doing so, the Conferees expect that this policy will strengthen this 

key industry, bolster the nation’s economic recovery, and benefit 

communities across the country. 

The conference agreement would permit covered manufacturers and dealers to also, where they both prefer, to use voluntary 

negotiation outside the arbitration process where possible, to resolve issues of possible dispute, including equitable compensation. 

The above provisions were included in similar form in both the 

House and Senate unless otherwise noted. 

The conference report does not include House section 744 directing the Attorney General to transmit documents to Congress 

concerning notification of Miranda rights to captured foreign persons suspected of terrorism. The conferees understand that this 

issue has been addressed in the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111–84). 

TITLE VIII 

GENERAL PROVISIONS—DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes the following general provisions for the District of Columbia: 

Section 801 specifies that an appropriation for a particular 

purpose or object shall be considered as the maximum amount that 

may be expended for said purpose or object. 

Section 802 authorizes appropriations for travel and dues of organizations. 

Section 803 allows the use of local funds for making refunds 

or paying judgments against the District of Columbia government. 

Section 804 prohibits the use of Federal funds for propaganda 

designed to support or defeat legislation before Congress or any 

state legislature, but allows the District of Columbia to use local 

funds to lobby on any matter. 

Section 805 sets out reprogramming procedures for Federal 

funds. 

Section 806 provides that appropriations under the Act shall be 

applied to objects for which the appropriation was made. 

Section 807 prohibits the use of Federal funds for the salaries

Section 808 places restrictions on the use of District of Columbia government vehicles. 

Section 809 prohibits the use of Federal funds for a petition or 

civil action which seeks to require voting rights for the District of 

Columbia in Congress. 

Section 810 allows the District of Columbia to use local funds 

for needle exchange programs and allows the use of Federal funds 

for needle exchange programs provided that District health or law 

enforcement officials do not object. The House bill placed detailed 

geographic restrictions on the sites where needle exchange programs could be operated using either local or Federal funds, while 

the Senate bill prohibited use of Federal funds but did not restrict 

local funds. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
944 

Section 811 concerns a ‘‘conscience clause’’ on legislation that 

pertains to contraceptive coverage by health insurance plans. 

Section 812 requires an annual report on crime, access to substance abuse treatment, management of parolees, education, rat 

abatement and indicators of child well-being as proposed by the 

Senate. 

Section 813 prohibits the use of Federal funds to legalize or reduce penalties associated with the possession, use, or distribution 

of any schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act 

(or any tetrahydrocannabinols derivative) as proposed by the 

House. 

Section 814 prohibits the use of Federal funds for abortion unless certain circumstances apply. 

Section 815 requires the CFO to submit a revised operating 

budget no later than 30 calendar days after the enactment of this 

Act for agencies the CFO certifies as requiring a reallocation in 

order to address unanticipated program needs. 

Section 816 requires the CFO to submit a revised operating 

budget for D.C. Public Schools, no later than 30 calendar days after 

the enactment of this Act, that aligns schools’ budgets to actual enrollment. 

Section 817 authorizes the transfer of local funds to capital and 

enterprise funds. 

Section 818 specifies that references to this Act in this title or 

title IV, are treated as referring only to the provisions of this title 

and title IV. 

The above provisions were included in similar form in both the 

House and Senate unless otherwise noted.

518. The Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate expect that these statements will provide 

sufficient detail to show the allocation of funds among programs, 

projects, and activities, particularly in accounts where the final appropriation is different than that of the budget request. Further, 

these statements also shall include the effect of the appropriation 

on any new activities or major initiatives discussed in the budget 

justifications accompanying the fiscal year 2010 budget. 

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION

TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes $3,828,530,000 for Training and Employment Services instead of $3,802,961,000 as proposed by 

the House and $3,798,536,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the 

amount appropriated, $1,772,000,000 is an advance appropriation 

for fiscal year 2011 as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

Within the total for the Dislocated Worker Assistance National 

Reserve, the conference agreement does not include bill language 

to allow up to $30,000,000 of this appropriation to be made available to the Career Pathways Innovation Fund as proposed by the 

Senate. The conferees urge the Secretary to give favorable consideration to grant applications from States whose allotment for dislocated worker employment and training activities in Public Law 

111–8 was less than their allotment for such activities in Public 

Law 110–161. The conference agreement includes bill language to 

suspend section 173(e) of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Section 173(e) of the WIA facilitated the transition from the Job Training Partnership Act formula to the WIA formula; however, the WIA 

formula has been in effect for a decade and the transition is complete. The conferees note that suspending this provision will allow 

more funds to be available to respond to natural disasters and 

mass layoffs. Neither the House nor the Senate proposed a similar 

provision. 

The conference agreement designates $78,410,000 for migrant 

and seasonal farmworker formula grants instead of $78,610,000 as 

proposed by the House and $78,310,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

In addition, the conference agreement designates $5,700,000 for 

migrant and seasonal farmworker housing instead of $5,500,000 as 

proposed by the House and $5,800,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Within the amount provided for Pilots, Demonstrations and 

Research, the conference agreement includes $30,000,000 for a new 

competitive grant program to provide transitional jobs activities instead of $35,000,000 as proposed by the House and $40,000,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement provides an additional $15,000,000 for these activities within the Reintegration of 

Ex-Offenders program, resulting in a total of $45,000,000 for transitional jobs activities. The conferees direct the Department of 

Labor to consult with the Department of Health and Human ServVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00987 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

ices’ Administration for Children and Families in designing the 

grant competition and awarding grants, consistent with House Report 111–220. In addition, the conferees note that funds should be 

used to leverage other resources to support program growth, consistent with Senate Report 111–66. The conference agreement includes bill language allowing up to 10 percent of funding for transitional jobs activities to be available for evaluation of such projects 

or transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services or 

the Department of Justice for support of transitional jobs activities 

as proposed by the Senate. The House bill included a provision to 

ensure that a sufficient portion of funds available for transitional 

jobs activities would be used for an evaluation of the program. 

Within the amount provided for Pilots, Demonstrations and Research, the conference agreement also includes $5,500,000 as 

proposed by the House to continue a program of competitive grants 

to address the employment and training needs of young parents. 

The Senate did not include funds for this activity. The Department 

should continue to award these competitive grants based on the criteria outlined in House Report 110–231. The conference agreement includes $48,889,000 for the following projects in the following amounts:

Within the funds provided for Reintegration of Ex-offenders, 

the conference agreement includes $15,000,000 for transitional jobs 

activities as proposed by the House. The Senate included funds for 

transitional jobs activities within the Pilots, Demonstrations and 

Research program. The conference agreement designates that 

funds shall be available for obligation on April 1, 2010 as proposed 

by the Senate. The House proposed that funds shall be available 

for obligation on July 1, 2010. The conferees expect the Department 

of Labor to consult with the Department of Justice in awarding 

competitive grants for transitional jobs activities. 

The conferees support the Department’s proposed spending priorities for the Reintegration of Ex-offenders program, as identified 

in the congressional budget justification. Given that the conference 

agreement adopts a funding level below the request, the conferees 

request that an operating plan be submitted to the Committees on 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
989 

Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate not 

later than 45 days after enactment of this Act. 

The conference agreement establishes a separate line item for 

the Career Pathways Innovation Fund. The Career Pathways Innovation Fund replaces the Community-Based Job Training Grants 

program, which previously received funding under the Dislocated 

Worker Assistance National Reserve. The conference agreement includes a set-aside of not less than $65,000,000 for competitive 

grants that prepare workers for careers in the health care sector 

as proposed by the House. The Senate did not include a set-aside 

within the Career Pathways Innovation Fund. 

The conferees note that from November 2000 to November 

2009 manufacturing employment in the United States declined by 

more than 5.5 million jobs. The conferees encourage the Secretary 

to consider competitive grant opportunities to train and place returning veterans, the underemployed, high school graduates, and 

traditional manufacturing employees so they can achieve the skills 

necessary to fill jobs in growing sectors of the high skilled, high 

tech and precision manufacturing industry. 

The conferees direct the Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services to establish an interagency 

taskforce and submit a strategic plan for addressing emerging 

needs in the health care sector, consistent with House Report 111– 

220. 

COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT FOR OLDER AMERICANS

The conference agreement includes $825,425,000 for Community Service Employment for Older Americans (CSEOA) instead of 

$615,425,000 as proposed by the House and $575,425,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within the total, $225,000,000 is available 

upon the enactment of this Act and shall remain available through 

December 31, 2011. Neither the House nor the Senate proposed a 

similar availability period. 

The conferees are aware that additional resources provided in 

the Recovery Act are insufficient to meet the needs of low-income 

older workers adversely impacted by the recession. Many CSEOA 

grantees are maintaining waiting lists for available community 

service jobs but are unable to fill those jobs due to funding limitations. In determining those current grantees that can effectively 

use funds made available immediately in this Act, the Secretary 

should take into account demonstrated need, financial management, and sustained and satisfactory performance. 

STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

OPERATIONS

The conference agreement includes $4,113,681,000 for State 

Unemployment Insurance and Employment Service Operations instead of $4,097,056,000 as proposed by the House and 

$4,113,806,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes $60,000,000 for in-person 

reemployment and eligibility assessments and unemployment insurance improper payment reviews. This amount includes 

$50,000,000 available for these purposes through a discretionary 

spending cap adjustment established in the fiscal year 2010 conVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 00993 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

gressional budget resolution. In addition to increasing support for 

in-person reemployment and eligibility assessments, the Department should continue to make a portion of these funds available for 

technology-based overpayment prevention, detection, and collection 

activities. In fiscal year 2009, the Department funded State requests for technology-based projects through a combination of the 

discretionary spending cap adjustment and the appropriation for 

State Operations for Unemployment Insurance. The conferees encourage continuation of this practice. The conference agreement includes $12,000,000 within OneStop Career Centers and Labor Market Information funding to 

carry out the language in Senate Report 111–66 regarding disability-related employment planning and activities. The Senate proposed $12,000,000 for these activities, along with an additional 

$12,000,000 in the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) 

account. The House proposed $10,000,000 in ODEP for similar activities. 

ADVANCES TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT TRUST FUND AND OTHER FUNDS

The conference agreement includes such sums as necessary for 

Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds as 

proposed by both the House and the Senate. The conference agreement also includes bill language to reestablish the longstanding 

policy of making funds in this account available for two fiscal 

years. Neither the House nor the Senate proposed a similar provision. 

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement includes $147,656,000 for Program 

Administration instead of $146,406,000 as proposed by the House 

and $148,906,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $154,861,000 for the Employee Benefits Security Administration instead of $154,060,000 as 

proposed by the House and $155,662,000 as proposed by the Senate.

The conference agreement includes $493,506,000 for the Employment Standards Administration (ESA) instead of $486,756,000 

as proposed by the House and $498,956,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. 

The conferees support the Administration’s reorganization of 

ESA to eliminate overlapping leadership and management positions. The conference agreement includes bill language to allow 

funds identified in the table accompanying this Act for ESA Program Direction and Support to be reallocated among the agencies

991 

included in this account or transferred to any other account within 

the Department for the same purposes. Neither the House nor the 

Senate proposed a similar provision. The conference agreement rescinds $50,000,000 from unobligated funds collected pursuant to section 286(v) of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act instead of $65,000,000 as proposed by both the 

House and the Senate. The rescission is effective on September 30, 

2010 as proposed by the House. The Senate proposed that the rescission be effective on September 1, 2010. Sufficient funds will remain to enable the Department of Labor to conduct enforcement activities under the current legislative authority. The conference 

agreement also includes bill language in section 524 to provide additional authority for ESA to conduct enforcement programs and 

activities that focus on industries likely to employ nonimmigrants. 

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES, ENERGY EMPLOYEES OCCUPATIONAL

ILLNESS COMPENSATION FUND

The conference agreement includes $51,900,000 for the Energy 

Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act 

(EEOICPA) instead of $51,197,000 as proposed by both the House 

and the Senate. The funding level reflects expansion of the Office 

of the Ombudsman’s responsibilities to include claimants for benefits under Part B of the EEOICPA, as authorized by the National 

Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2010. 

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $558,620,000 for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) instead of 

$554,620,000 as proposed by the House and $561,620,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Within the funds provided for Federal Enforcement, the conferees intend for the Department to use the increase above the fiscal year 2009 funding level to continue a multi-year process of rebuilding OSHA’s enforcement capacity and increasing the pace of 

standard setting. 

The conference agreement includes bill language designating 

that grants to States shall be no less than 50 percent of the costs 

of State occupational safety and health programs required to be incurred under plans approved by the Secretary as proposed by the 

House. The Senate proposed that grants to States may be up to 55 

percent of the costs of State occupational safety and health programs. 

The conferees strongly urge the Secretary not to permanently 

redistribute any of the additional State Plan grant funding provided under this appropriation for which a State is unable to provide its required match in fiscal year 2010 because of the pressures 

on State budgets. The Secretary is further urged to adopt past 

agency practice that would allow each State an opportunity next 

fiscal year to match and receive funding that is available but was 

not matched this fiscal year. 

The conferees believe that after every effort is made to allow 

State grant funds to be matched by States—consistent with past 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
992 

agency practice—any remaining funds that cannot be matched in 

fiscal year 2010 by States should be reprogrammed for Federal enforcement activities, consistent with section 516 of this Act. Utilizing maximum flexibility to respond to individual State issues related to the match requirement, or reprogramming for Federal enforcement, will meet the goal of increasing resources that can lead 

to improved workplace safety and health for America’s workers. The conferees include $1,000,000 within OSHA to continue a 

recordkeeping enforcement initiative on injury and illness recording, consistent with Senate Report 111–66. The House did not include a similar provision. 

MINE SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $357,293,000 for the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) instead of $353,193,000 

as proposed by the House and $357,143,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. 

The conference agreement includes $2,000,000 over the budget 

request for MSHA to increase spot inspections in the active workings of coal mines for the purpose of obtaining compliance with section 202 of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. 

The conferees expect MSHA to submit quarterly reports on enforcement of section 202 of such Act, including findings from the spot 

inspection program, to the Committees on Appropriations of the 

House of Representatives and the Senate. Within the amount available for standards development, the conference agreement provides 

sufficient funding for MSHA to conduct risk assessments for the 

proposed rules to reduce miners’ exposure to respirable coal mine 

dust and silica and related regulatory activities. 

The conferees direct the Secretary to provide sufficient resources for the National Mine Safety and Health Academy and 

MSHA’s Approval and Certification Center, consistent with Senate 

Report 111–66. The conference agreement continues to recognize 

the Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association as a principal safety association as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement does 

not make this recognition permanent as proposed by the House. 

Within the amount provided for Program Administration, the 

conference agreement provides $1,450,000 for an award to the 

United Mine Workers of America to continue a project, initiated 

with the fiscal year 2008 appropriation, for classroom and simulated rescue training for mine rescue teams as proposed by the 

Senate. The House did not include a similar provision. 

BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $611,447,000 for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) instead of $611,623,000 as proposed 

by the House and $611,271,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement continues bill language providing 

that the Current Employment Survey shall maintain the content of 

the survey issued prior to June 2005 with respect to the collection 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
993 

of data for the women worker series as proposed by the House. The 

Senate did not include a similar provision. The conferees include 

$1,300,000 within BLS funding to continue efforts to improve injury and illness data, consistent with Senate Report 111–66. The 

House did not include a similar provision. 

OFFICE OF DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT POLICY

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $39,031,000 for the Office 

of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) as proposed by the Senate 

instead of $37,031,000 as proposed by the House. 

The conference agreement includes $12,000,000 within ODEP 

funding to carry out the language in Senate Report 111–66 regarding disability-related employment planning and activities. The Senate proposed $12,000,000 for these activities, along with an additional $12,000,000 in the ETA account. The House included 

$10,000,000 in the ODEP account for similar activities. 

DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes $355,154,000 for Departmental Management instead of $350,154,000 as proposed by the 

House and $357,154,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

International Labor Affairs Bureau 

The conference agreement includes $92,669,000 for the International Labor Affairs Bureau (ILAB) instead of $91,419,000 as 

proposed by the House and $93,919,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement also includes new language providing 

ILAB with an extra quarter to obligate funding for its technical assistance programs and authority to support microfinance activities. 

The conferees take this action to better enable ILAB to design its 

international labor activities, confirm government support for proposed programs and collaborate closely with the State Department 

and other program partners in effectively utilizing this appropriation. 

The conference agreement designates $40,000,000 for the 

United States’ contribution to the International Labour Organization’s International Program for the Elimination of Child Labor in 

order to expand this successful effort. The conference agreement 

also designates $20,000,000 to continue the program of basic education grants in countries where the growing numbers of children 

removed from abusive and exploitative child labor need access to 

basic education, to be administered in accordance with Senate Report 111–66. 

In addition, the conference agreement designates $6,500,000 to 

continue support for the implementation of model programs designed to address worker rights in countries with which the United 

States has trade preference programs as proposed by the House. 

The Senate included a similar directive in its report. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
994 

The conferees also support the Department’s proposed spending priorities for research, policy, reporting, and administration— 

as identified in the congressional budget justification. The increased funding level over fiscal year 2009 is sufficient to support 

an additional 12 full-time equivalents (FTE)—consistent with 

House Report 111–220—including 4 FTEs for the Office of Child 

Labor, Forced Labor, and Human Trafficking. 

Legal Services 

For Legal Services, the conferees agree that the increased 

funding level over fiscal year 2009 is intended to include adequate 

enforcement support for the Mine Safety and Health Administration.

House and $1,711,089,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes sufficient funds, together 

with funds from previous fiscal years, to support construction of a 

new Job Corps center previously approved through the competitive 

bidding process. The conference agreement also includes sufficient 

funds to initiate a competition for two new Job Corps centers. In 

the selection process, the conferees direct the Department to follow 

guidance provided in House Report 111–220 and Senate Report 

111–66 regarding the criteria to be considered in selecting two new 

sites. 

VETERANS EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING

The conference agreement includes $256,127,000 for Veterans 

Employment and Training instead of $257,127,000 as proposed by 

the House and $255,127,000 as proposed in the Senate. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

OPERATING PLAN

The conference agreement continues a provision prohibiting 

the obligation of funds for demonstration, pilot, multiservice, research, and multistate projects under section 171 of the Workforce 

Investment Act prior to the submission of a report on the planned 

use of such funds as proposed by the House. The Senate did not 

include a similar provision. 

WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT PROVISIONS

The conference agreement continues a provision requiring that 

the Secretary of Labor take no action to amend the definition established in 20 CFR 667.220 for functions and activities under title 

I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 or to modify the procedure for designation of local areas as specified in that Act until

TRANSFER PLAN

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conferees direct the Secretary to submit a plan for the

of Representatives and the Senate, the Secretary may transfer the 

administration and appropriation of the Job Corps program from 

the Office of the Secretary and the provisions of section 102 of Public Law 109–149 shall no longer be applicable. The Senate bill contained a similar provision. 

TITLE II 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 

HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES

The conference agreement includes $7,498,522,000 for health 

resources and services, of which $7,473,522,000 is provided as 

budget authority and $25,000,000 is made available under section 

241 of the Public Health Service Act instead of $7,331,817,000 as 

proposed by the House and $7,263,799,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes bill language designating 

$1,000,000 of funding for Rural Flexibility Grants to telehealth 

services, including pilots and demonstrations using electronic 

health records to coordinate rural veterans care with the Department of Veterans Affairs VISTA-Electronic Health Record. The 

Senate proposed $2,000,000 for this activity. The House did not 

propose funding. 

The conference agreement includes $800,000 within Rural Outreach Grants for the community health integration models demonstration authorized in the Medicare Improvements for Patients 

and Providers Act of 2008 as proposed by the Senate. The House 

did not propose to fund the demonstration. 

The conferees intend that telehealth funding may be used for 

new and existing regional and national resource centers that focus 

on operational clinical, statutory, or regulatory barriers to the delivery of telehealth services including credentialing and licensure 

and the establishment of one or more resource centers focused on 

telehomecare. The Senate proposed similar language. The House 

did not propose language. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language allocating funding for base grant adjustments for existing community 

health centers as proposed by the House. The Senate did not propose a similar provision. 

The conference agreement includes no less than the fiscal year 

2009 funding level for Native Hawaiian Health Care activities

996 

The conferees expect that the $75,000,000 included for State 

Health Access Grants will be awarded in the same manner and 

with the same requirements as in fiscal year 2009 consistent with 

House Report 111–220. The Senate did not propose similar language. 

The conference agreement includes bill language providing $1,932,865,000 for Parts A and B of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS 

Treatment Modernization Act, to be available through September 

30, 2012, as proposed by the House. The Senate proposed 

$1,916,873,000. 

The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 

House limiting 2009 program year reductions in Ryan White Part 

A grants for metropolitan and transitional areas to 7.6 percent by 

providing $6,021,000 for supplemental grants for fiscal year 2009. 

The Senate bill did not propose similar language. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language proposed by both the House and Senate continuing legislative authority for Ryan White activities through fiscal year 2010. This language is not necessary because the reauthorization for the program 

has recently been signed into law. 

The conferees intend that the Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) allocate funds for the Minority AIDS Initiative within the Ryan White HIV Programs at a level above the fiscal year 2009 funding level. The House proposed a specific level of 

funding, and the Senate proposed funding at no less than the fiscal 

year 2009 level for the Minority AIDS Initiative. 

The conference agreement includes bill language setting aside $92,551,000 for Special Projects of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS) as proposed by the Senate instead of $92,649,000 

as proposed by the House. The conference agreement assumes the 

following set-asides within SPRANS:

Health Service Act) within Allied Health. The House proposed

smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS

Loan Repayments shall be made using the same terms and conditions as the Nursing Faculty Loan Repayment program unless otherwise authorized. This is similar to language proposed by the Senate. The House did not propose comparable language.

Corps recruitment funds only to support multi-year, rather than 

single year, commitments consistent with Senate Report 111–66. 

The House did not propose similar language. 

The conferees are aware that the National Health Service 

Corps may require fewer amendments to contracts made under the 

Recovery Act than were anticipated. The conferees intend that 

funds provided in the Recovery Act for amendments may also be 

used for new scholar and loan repayment awards. The conferees 

also intend that Recovery Act funds provided for National Health 

Service Corps field operations may be used to fund multi-year contracts that support the orientation, monitoring, compliance, and relocation of scholar and loan repayment awardees who received 

funding through the Recovery Act. 

The conference agreement includes funding for Allied Health 

Training programs as follows:

funding for Public Health, Preventive Medicine, and Dental Public 

Health programs be used to expand fellowships and training in the 

area of Preventive Medicine as proposed by the Senate. The House 

did not propose similar language. 

The conferees intend that, as proposed by the Senate, the funding increase over fiscal year 2009 for the Nurse Education, Practice, and Retention program be used to establish a new initiative 

to train nursing home aides and home health aides, with grants 

made to colleges or community-based training programs. The 

House did not propose this provision. 

The conference agreement includes bill language providing 

$10,000,000 as a direct lump sum payment to the Denali Commission as proposed by the Senate. The House did not propose funding 

for the Denali Commission. The conferees concur in the language

Denali Commission funding. The House did not propose any Denali 

Commission language. 

The conference agreement includes bill language providing 

$35,000,000 for the Delta Health Initiative as authorized in section 

219 of division G of Public Law 110–161, and associated administrative costs. The Senate proposed $40,000,000 for this initiative, 

which was not funded in the House bill.

The conference agreement includes bill language not proposed

grant period for the Patient Navigator program. 

The conferees intend that the Traumatic Brain Injury Protection and Advocacy Services component of the Traumatic Brain Injury program receive the same proportion of funding it received in 

fiscal year 2009 as proposed by the House. The Senate proposed 

similar language. 

Within the funding provided for the Autism and Other Related 

Developmental Disorders program, the conference agreement includes an increase of not less than $2,200,000 to expand the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities

viduals with autism and other developmental disabilities instead of 

$2,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House did not specify 

a funding level for this research activity. 

The conferees understand that the Organ Procurement and 

Transplantation Network (OPTN) is planning a forum to consider 

further changes in policy regarding the broader allocation of donor 

livers in addition to the June 2009 Status 1 recipients OPTN decision. However, HRSA has informed the conferees that a further 

policy proposal will not be ready for the OPTN Board to review before 2011 or 2012. At least six months before any further change 

is implemented, the conferees direct OPTN to submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 

Senate a report analyzing and describing the potential impact of 

any changes to broaden the geographic allocation of livers on the 

following: 

(1) Access to transplantation for all patients who are listed at 

both smaller volume transplant centers and who are listed at centers outside major urban areas; 

(2) Mortality of all patients on a waiting list at either smaller 

volume transplant centers or transplant centers located outside 

major urban areas; 

(3) Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score of all patients at time of transplant; 

(4) Access to transplant and mortality rates for all patients 

whose primary insurance is Medicare or Medicaid and who are on 

waiting lists; 

(5) Organ wastage rates; 

(6) One-year and three-year graft and patient survival, and 

total years prolonged by transplantation; 

(7) Ischemia time and function of the donor liver; 

(8) Transportation and other costs associated with broadening 

the sharing of donor livers; and 

(9) Organ donation rates and public attitudes on organ donation (such as willingness to donate) in aggregate and in localities 

that are net exporters of organs. 

The report shall also describe in detail all comments received 

up to one year prior to and/or in conjunction with the OPTN 2010 

public forum on broader allocation of livers, as well as any comments received from a planned subsequent public comment period, 

and shall indicate what steps will be taken to address such public 

comments. 

No changes to current OPTN policy on broader allocation of livers shall be permitted (a) prior to the submission of this report, 

and (b) absent formal notification to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Further, the 

conferees direct that any policy change on broader allocation of livers be tested first in demonstrations, similar to the demonstration 

recently conducted in Iowa and North and South Dakota, before 

nationwide implementation, and be made in an incremental manner, reflecting the accumulation and analysis of data on the impact 

of policy changes. 

The conferees have included $1,000,000 within the organ 

transplantation program to support the costs of developing the report described above.

The conference agreement includes sufficient resources to allocate funding to all certified poison control centers, or centers granted a waiver by the Secretary, based on service population. The Senate proposed similar language. The House did not propose any language. 

COVERED COUNTERMEASURE PROCESS FUND

The conference agreement does not include funding for the 

Covered Countermeasure Process Fund as proposed by the House. 

The Senate proposed $5,000,000 for the Fund. The Fund received 

support from fiscal year 2009 supplemental appropriations provided in Public Law 111–32. 

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION

DISEASE CONTROL, RESEARCH, AND TRAINING

The conference agreement includes $6,390,387,000 in discretionary appropriations for Disease Control, Research, and Training 

at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) instead 

of $6,314,032,000 as proposed by the House and $6,733,377,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. In addition, $352,357,000 is made available under section 241 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act instead of $368,863,000 as proposed by the House and $40,075,000 

as proposed by the Senate.

House did not propose similar language. 

HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention

In order to support a multi-faceted approach to HIV research 

and prevention practices, the conferees have established five new 

sub-budget lines that are structured around the principles of transparency, accountability, and comprehensiveness. The conferees expect that the fiscal year 2011 budget justification will follow this 

format, providing detailed explanations of funded activities, and 

how any proposed increases or reductions will be applied across 

each line. The conferees further insist that any future movement 

of funds between these lines must go through the formal reprogramming review process. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language regarding the Early Diagnosis Grants program. The House proposed 

bill language specifically eliminating funding for the program while 

the Senate proposed to limit funding for the program to 

$15,000,000. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act 

of 2009 did not reauthorize this activity; therefore, the conferees 

expect CDC not to carve out any funding for this activity in fiscal 

year 2010.

The 2009 H1N1 virus pandemic has highlighted the need to 

protect health care workers who have been on the front lines providing care to those who have become infected and sick. The current pandemic also has revealed that there are major gaps in our 

scientific knowledge about the modes of transmission of influenza 

and the most effective methods to prevent transmission and protect 

health care workers, including the type of respiratory protection 

that should be utilized to protect health care workers from exposure. The conference agreement includes increased funding over 

the fiscal year 2009 level for the National Occupational Research 

Agenda. The conferees urge NIOSH to direct some of this increase 

to intramural and extramural research to implement the recommendations of the 2008 and 2009 Institute of Medicine reports,

Buildings and Facilities 

Within the amount provided for Buildings and Facilities, the conference agreement includes $30,000,000 for nationwide repairs 

and improvements of existing facilities as proposed by both the 

House and Senate and $39,150,000 for Buildings 107 and 108 on 

the Chamblee Campus in Atlanta, Georgia instead of $78,300,000 

as proposed by the Senate. The House did not propose funding for 

new construction. 

The conference agreement also includes bill language proposed 

by the Senate that CDC shall award a single contract or related 

contracts for the development and construction of facilities in the 

Master Plan that collectively include the full scope of the project 

and that the solicitation and contract shall contain the clause 

‘‘availability of funds’’. The House did not propose similar language. 

Business Services and Support 

The funds for Business Services and Support are intended for 

CDC to carry out its business functions, including, but not limited 

to, administrative services, financial management, security and 

emergency preparedness, and procurement and grants. Neither 

these funds nor any other funds provided to CDC are to be enhanced through the mechanism of program assessments or tapping 

at any level. 

NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

The conference agreement includes $31,008,788,000 for the 26 

accounts that comprise the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1029 

total appropriation instead of $31,258,788,000 as proposed by the 

House and $30,758,788,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition, 

the conference agreement continues the allocation to NIH of 

$8,200,000 in program evaluation set-aside funding, which is the 

same as the House and Senate bills. Appropriation levels for individual institutes and centers are described in the table at the end 

of this statement of managers. Guidance for specific institutes and 

centers is provided below. 

NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) reports that it is meeting 

the funding level identified for pediatric cancer research in the 

Caroline Pryce Walker Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2008 

within its base budget. The conferees commend NCI for its attention to this issue. 

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes $304,000,000 by transfer 

from the Project BioShield Special Reserve Fund (BioShield) instead of a transfer of $500,000,000 as proposed by the House. The 

Senate bill did not propose a transfer of BioShield funding. 

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR

The conference agreement includes bill language providing up to $193,880,000 for continuation of the National Children’s Study. 

The House bill provided up to $194,400,000 for continuation of the 

study. The Senate bill did not identify a particular funding level. 

The conference agreement includes funding for a one percent 

increase in research training stipends instead of a two percent increase as proposed by the House. The Senate did not identify a specific training stipend increase. 

Unless otherwise noted in this statement, the conferees expect 

NIH to follow the budget policy assumptions of the President’s fiscal year 2010 budget and the accompanying explanatory materials. 

The conferees expect NIH to notify the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate each time 

the Director uses the statutory one percent transfer authority as 

proposed in House Report 111–220. The Senate did not include 

similar language. 

The conference agreement includes $5,000,000 for a bioethics 

initiative administered through the institutes and centers as proposed by the House. The Senate did not identify a funding level for 

the initiative. 

The conference agreement provides that, as proposed in Senate 

Report 111–66, with regard to section 516 of the bill, ‘‘program, 

project, or activity’’ applies to all sub-mechanisms and stand-alone 

activities in institute and center mechanism tables, except for the 

research project grants mechanism, in which case the restriction 

applies at the subtotal level. The House did not include comparable 

language. The conferees understand that NIH is upgrading its financial business system and is implementing hard funds controls. 

The conferees expect NIH to ensure that these funds controls will 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1030 

be established at the levels identified above to proactively enforce 

the reprogramming thresholds. The conferees request a detailed explanation and timeline in the 2011 congressional budget justification describing how the NIH enterprise system will proactively ensure full compliance with the reprogramming thresholds. 

The conferees expect that NIH will work to strengthen its policy of supporting AIDS and non-AIDS research funding allocations 

at the current relative rate when allocating the second year of Recovery Act funding. House Report 111–220 had similar language. 

The Senate did not include comparable language. 

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

The conference agreement includes sufficient funding to support the construction of the Northwest Child Care Center on the 

Bethesda campus as proposed in House Report 111–220. The Senate did not include comparable language. 

SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

The conference agreement includes $3,431,624,000 for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services instead of $3,419,438,000 

as proposed by the House and $3,429,782,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. In addition, the conference agreement makes available 

$131,585,000 under section 241 of the Public Health Service (PHS) 

Act, which is the same as both the House and Senate. 

Within the total provided for Programs of Regional and National Significance across the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA), the conference agreement includes $4,897,000 for the Minority Fellowship Program instead of 

$5,093,000 as proposed by the House and $4,701,000 as proposed 

by the Senate. The distribution of these funds between the Center 

for Mental Health Services (CMHS), the Center for Substance 

Abuse Treatment (CSAT), and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is detailed later in this statement.

Within the increase provided for the National Traumatic 

Stress Network above the fiscal year 2009 funding level, the conference agreement includes $1,800,000 to fund additional adaptation centers, which help apply general principles of trauma services 

to particular populations. The conferees are particularly interested 

in ensuring that there will be an adaptation center focused on domestic violence and child abuse. Neither the House nor the Senate 

proposed similar language. 

The conference agreement includes $1,000,000 above the fiscal 

year 2009 funding level to the National Center for Child Traumatic 

Stress for data analysis and reporting activities that improve evidence-based practices and raise the standard of trauma care. The 

conferees expect that any data collected using funds provided under 

this program shall be submitted to SAMHSA. The Senate proposed 

similar language. The conference agreement includes $5,000,000 for a new Community Resilience and Recovery Initiative, as proposed by the 

House. The Senate did not propose similar language. According to 

SAMHSA, economic problems create additional emotional stress 

leading to increased suicide, crime, domestic violence, child neglect 

and abuse, and alcohol and drug problems. This new initiative will 

take advantage of SAMHSA’s experience in providing services in 

local communities to support evidence-based programs to help address the emotional stress and the resultant behaviors. 

Within the $14,518,000 included in the conference agreement, $5,975,000 shall be used for the following projects in the following 

amounts:

AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE RESEARCH AND QUALITY

HEALTHCARE RESEARCH AND QUALITY

The conference agreement includes a program level of 

$397,053,000 for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality 

(AHRQ) instead of $372,053,000 as proposed by both the House 

and Senate. The conference agreement makes these funds fully 

available through section 241 of the Public Health Service (PHS) 

Act. 

Within the total for Research on Health Costs, Quality and 

Outcomes, the conference agreement includes $21,000,000 for Patient-Centered Health Research instead of $12,500,000 as proposed 

by the House and $50,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the 

funding provided, $12,500,000 is to cover the continuation costs of 

current research grants and $8,500,000 is for the Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions about Effectiveness (DEcIDE) Network. 

The DEcIDE Network conducts accelerated practical studies about 

the outcomes, comparative clinical effectiveness, safety, and appropriateness of health care items and services. 

As proposed by the House, the conferees do not intend for the 

patient-centered health research funding to be used to mandate 

coverage, reimbursement, or other policies for any public or private 

payer. The funding shall be used to conduct or support research to 

evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes, effectiveness, risk, and 

benefits of two or more medical treatments and services that address a particular medical condition. Further, the conferees recognize that a ‘‘one-size-fits-all’’ approach to patient treatment is not 

the most medically appropriate solution to treating various conditions. Research conducted should be consistent with Departmental 

policies relating to the inclusion of women and minorities. The Senate did not propose similar language. 

Within the total for Research on Health Costs, Quality and 

Outcomes, the conference agreement includes $15,904,000 for the 

Prevention and Care Management program instead of $24,404,000

ate. Funding shall be used consistent with the language in House 

Report 111–220. 

Within the total for Research on Health Costs, Quality and 

Outcomes, the conference agreement includes $27,645,000 for 

Health Information Technology as proposed by the Senate instead 

of $32,320,000 as proposed by the House. 

Within the total for Research on Health Costs, Quality and 

Outcomes, the conference agreement includes $176,689,000 for 

crosscutting activities related to quality, effectiveness, and efficiency research instead of $169,514,000 as proposed by the House. 

The Senate did not propose similar language. As proposed by the 

Senate, the conference agreement includes $23,596,000 to fund investigator-initiated research to develop a more balanced research 

agenda, supporting all aspects of health care research outlined in 

its statutory mission. The House included similar language, but not 

a specific dollar amount. 

Within the total for Research on Health Costs, Quality and 

Outcomes, the conference agreement includes $90,585,000 for Patient Safety instead of $66,585,000 as proposed by the House and 

$48,889,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Within the Patient Safety total, the conference agreement includes $25,000,000 for patient safety and medical liability reform 

demonstrations. Neither the House nor the Senate proposed similar 

language. The conferees are aware that medical liability concerns 

may lead doctors to practice ‘‘defensive medicine,’’ which in turn 

may contribute to higher costs in our health care system. The conferees are concerned about this and the possible implications that 

the fear of liability may be having on the delivery of health care 

services. Therefore, the conference agreement includes this funding 

for a three-pronged initiative consisting of demonstration grants to 

States and health systems to test implementation and evaluation 

of evidence-based patient safety and medical liability projects, 

grants to States and health systems to plan for implementation 

and evaluation of evidence-based patient safety and medical liability demonstrations, and a rapid and comprehensive review of initiatives that improve health care quality and reduce liability. 

The demonstration projects should test models that meet the 

following goals: put patient safety first and work to reduce preventable injuries; foster better communication between doctors and 

their patients; ensure that patients are compensated in a fair and 

timely manner for medical injuries, while also reducing the incidence of frivolous lawsuits; and reduce liability premiums. 

As proposed by the House, within the Patient Safety total the 

conference agreement includes $25,000,000 for healthcare-associated infections prevention activities. The Senate did not propose 

similar language. Funding shall be used consistent with the language in House Report 111–220. 

Within the Patient Safety total, the conference agreement includes $9,000,000 for the Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus 

Aureus (MRSA) Collaborative Research Initiative instead of 

$10,000,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate did not propose 

similar language.

CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES

PAYMENTS TO HEALTH CARE TRUST FUNDS

The conference agreement includes $393,070,000 for Program 

Management within Payments to Health Care Trust Funds instead 

of $403,070,000 as proposed by the House and $338,070,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

The conference agreement includes $3,470,242,000 for Program Management instead of $3,463,362,000 as proposed by the House 

and $3,431,500,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language pro- posed by the Senate identifying $81,600,000, made available for 

two years, to implement provisions in the Medicare Improvements 

for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. The House bill did not include such language. The conferees do, however, assume 

$61,600,000 to implement these statutory provisions, made available for one fiscal year. 

The conference agreement includes $3,100,000 within Research, Demonstration and Evaluation for the following projects in 

the following amounts:

The conference agreement includes $55,000,000 for State High 

Risk Insurance Pools instead of $65,000,000 as proposed by the 

House. The Senate did not propose High Risk Insurance Pool funding. 

The conference agreement includes $14,800,000 for the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey as proposed by the House. The 

Senate did not identify funding for the Survey. 

Within the total funding for Research, Demonstration, and 

Evaluation, the conference agreement includes $2,500,000 for Real 

Choice Systems Change Grants to States as proposed by the Senate. The House did not propose funding for this program. 

The conference agreement includes $45,000,000 for the State 

Health Insurance Program as proposed by the House. The Senate 

did not identify a funding level for this program. 

The conferees urge the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

Services (CMS) to strengthen the agency’s efforts against 

healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) by considering inclusion of 

HAIs in the CMS pay-for-reporting system and by expanding the 

use of HAIs in the CMS pay-for-performance system. The House 

proposed similar language. The Senate did not propose language.

The conferees are concerned that the delivery of telehealth 

services may be disrupted by HHS requirements that result in duplicative credentialing and privileging of remote providers. The conferees direct the Secretary to report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate within 6 

months of enactment on actions taken by CMS to reduce duplication and streamline federal credentialing and privileging requirements related to telehealth services. Neither the House nor Senate 

proposed similar language. 

HEALTH CARE FRAUD AND ABUSE CONTROL ACCOUNT

The conference agreement includes $311,000,000 from the 

Medicare trust funds for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control 

Account, which is the same as both the House and the Senate. This 

level includes funding for CMS to expand its efforts to link Medicare claims and public records data as proposed by the Senate. The 

House did not propose similar language. 

ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE

The conference agreement includes $5,100,000,000 for the Low 

Income Home Energy Assistance program as proposed by both the 

House and Senate. Within this amount, the conferees intend that 

not more than $27,000,000 be used for the Leveraging Incentive 

program. The conferees maintain bill language proposed by the 

House allowing States to provide assistance to households with income up to 75 percent of the State median income. The Senate did 

not include a similar provision. 

REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE

The conference agreement includes $730,928,000 for Refugee 

and Entrant Assistance programs instead of $714,968,000 as proposed by the House and $730,657,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Within the amount provided for Social Services, the conferees 

provide $19,000,000 for continued support to communities with 

large concentrations of Cuban and Haitian entrants as proposed by 

the House. The Senate did not specify an amount for this activity. 

Within the amount provided for the Unaccompanied Alien 

Children program, the conferees provide $5,600,000 to continue 

and expand the pro bono legal representation pilot program instead 

of $6,000,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate did not specify 

an amount for this activity. 

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SERVICES PROGRAMS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes $9,314,532,000 for Children 

and Families Services Programs instead of $9,326,951,000 as proposed by the House and $9,310,465,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

In addition, $5,762,000 is made available under section 241 of the 

Public Health Service (PHS) Act as proposed by the Senate instead 

of $10,217,000 as proposed by the House. For comparability, these

nurse home visitation initiative, instead of $15,000,000 as proposed 

by the House and $13,500,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees anticipate that mandatory funding will be provided for this 

activity in fiscal year 2010 as proposed by the Administration. Within the $20,785,000 included in the conference agreement, $3,175,000 shall be used for the following projects in the following

Social Services and Income Maintenance Research 

Within the total for Social Services and Income Maintenance 

Research, the conference agreement includes $2,000,000 for benefits outreach and enrollment assistance activities. The conferees intend that these funds be awarded competitively to private, nonprofit organizations to support on-going, facilitated outreach and 

enrollment assistance to low-income individuals and families to access already existing Federal, State, and local benefit programs. 

The Senate included a similar provision within the Corporation for 

National and Community Service. The House did not include similar language. Within the $20,785,000 included in the conference agreement, $17,610,000 shall be used for the following projects in the following

Developmental Disabilities Assistance 

Within the amount provided for Developmental Disabilities Assistance Projects of National Significance, the conferees encourage 

the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to establish a 

national autism resource and information center as proposed by the 

Senate, but do not designate $3,000,000 for this purpose as proposed by the House. 

Native American Programs 

Within the amount provided for Native American programs, 

the conference agreement includes $12,000,000 for Native American language preservation activities including no less than 

$4,000,000 for language immersion programs as proposed in Senate 

Report 111–66. The House included similar language. 

Community Services 

Within the amount provided for the Community Services Block 

Grant (CSBG), the conferees direct ACF to allocate $500,000 of 

CSBG training and technical assistance funds for continuation of 

a national community economic development training and capacity 

development initiative as proposed by the House. The Senate did 

not include similar language. 

The conferees are concerned that individuals and families affected by the economic recession are not receiving critical health 

care, nutrition assistance, tax credits and other benefits for which 

they qualify. The Recovery Act required one percent of the 

$1,000,000,000 for CSBG grants to be used by States for ‘‘benefits 

enrollment coordination activities relating to the identification and 

enrollment of eligible individuals and families in Federal, State 

and local benefit programs’’. The conferees direct ACF to report to 

the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives 

and the Senate on the States’ use of the funds and whether these 

funds achieved the intended purpose. 

Teen Pregnancy Prevention 

The conference agreement includes funding for a new Teenage 

Pregnancy Prevention program within the Office of the Secretary

House. The conferees provide guidance regarding the administration of this initiative under the Office of the Secretary.

funding instead of $74,211,000 as proposed by the House and

figures include funding for the teenage pregnancy prevention initiative, which was funded under the Administration for Children and 

Families in the House bill. 

Within Public Health Service Act program evaluation funding, the conference agreement designates $1,000,000 to carry out informational services to patients and families affected by childhood 

cancer authorized under the Caroline Pryce Walker Conquer Childhood Cancer Act. The House proposed $10,000,000 to implement 

this Act and the Senate did not include a similar provision. The 

conference agreement allocates an additional $3,000,000 for a childhood cancer registry within funds provided to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

Within the funds for the Office of the Secretary, the conference agreement includes $5,000,000 as proposed by the House to continue Departmental activities related to reducing healthcare-associated infections. The Senate did not include a similar provision. 

Within the funds for the Office of the Secretary, the conference agreement designates $900,000 for the Institute of Medicine to conduct a study on the mental health workforce as proposed in House 

Report 111–220. The House proposed $1,000,000 for this activity 

and the Senate did not include a similar provision. 

Within the funds for the Office of the Secretary, the conference 

agreement includes sufficient funds to continue the Area and National Poverty Centers at no less than the fiscal year 2009 level as 

proposed by the House. The Senate did not include a similar provision. 

Within the funds for the Office of the Secretary, the conference agreement includes $4,500,000 for the health diplomacy initiative. 

The House did not specify funds for this activity and the Senate 

proposed $7,000,000.

Health Service Act and as proposed in Senate Report 111–66. The 

conference agreement includes sufficient funds for this purpose, but 

does not identify a specific amount. The Senate proposed 

$2,000,000 for this office. The House did not propose a similar provision. 

The conference agreement provides $110,000,000 for a new 

teenage pregnancy prevention initiative. The House proposed

1043 

$110,000,000 for this initiative under the Administration for Children and Families and the Senate proposed $100,000,000 under the 

Office of the Secretary. 

The conferees intend that the Office of Adolescent Health shall 

be responsible for implementing and administering the teenage 

pregnancy prevention program, as proposed by the Senate. 

The conferees intend that the Office of Adolescent Health shall 

coordinate its efforts with the Administration for Children and 

Families, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other 

appropriate HHS offices and operating divisions. No later than 60 

days after the date of enactment, the Secretary shall submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate detailing the implementation status of 

the Office of Adolescent Health and the teenage pregnancy prevention program. 

Regarding this appropriation, the conference agreement in- cludes bill language providing that not less than $75,000,000 shall 

be for programs that replicate teenage pregnancy prevention programs proven effective through rigorous evaluation. The conferees 

intend that a wide range of evidence-based programs should be eligible for these funds. In addition, bill language provides that not 

less than $25,000,000 shall be for research and demonstration 

grants to develop, replicate, refine, and test additional models and 

innovative strategies for preventing teenage pregnancy; and that 

the remaining amounts may be used for training and technical assistance, evaluation, outreach, and additional program support. 

The conferees intend that programs funded under this initiative 

will stress the value of abstinence and provide age-appropriate information to youth that is scientifically and medically accurate. Finally, the conference agreement provides $4,455,000 within Public 

Health Service Act program evaluation funding, as proposed by 

both the House and Senate, to carry out evaluations (including longitudinal evaluations) of teenage pregnancy prevention approaches. 

The conferees expect the Office of the Secretary to support activities that are targeted to address the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic and its disproportionate impact upon communities of color, 

including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian 

Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, at no less 

than the fiscal year 2009 funding level as proposed by the House. 

The Senate did not include a similar provision. 

The conference agreement includes $1,650,000 for the following

of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, of 

which $42,331,000 is provided in budget authority and $19,011,000 

is made available through the Public Health Service program evaluation set-aside as proposed by the Senate. The House proposed 

the same program level, but through a different allocation of budget authority and evaluation set-aside. 

PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES EMERGENCY FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes $2,306,694,000 for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund instead of 

$2,100,649,000 as proposed by the House and $2,621,154,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. 

As proposed by both the House and Senate, the conference 

agreement includes bill language transferring all remaining balances in the Project BioShield Special Reserve Fund (SRF) from 

the Department of Homeland Security to the Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). This transfer aligns the financial responsibility of the Project BioShield SRF with HHS programmatic 

responsibility. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1045 

The conference agreement includes bill language transferring $304,000,000 from the Project BioShield SRF to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) instead of 

$500,000,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate did not propose a similar transfer to NIAID. Together with the $305,000,000 

transfer proposed by both the House and Senate for Advanced Research and Development, a total of $609,000,000 will be transferred 

from the Project BioShield SRF. As of October 31, 2009, data from 

HHS indicate that $3,033,000,000 remains unobligated and available in the Project BioShield SRF, therefore after these transfers 

a total of $2,424,000,000 will be available through fiscal year 2013 

to procure and stockpile emergency medical countermeasures. 

Within the total for Preparedness and Emergency Operations, 

the conference agreement includes sufficient funding to prepare for 

and respond to non-Stafford Act National Special Security Events 

and other planned and unplanned events. The House proposed 

$10,000,000 for this activity. The Senate did not propose similar 

language. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

The conference agreement includes a general provision capping 

the permitted use of the program evaluation set-aside at 2.5 percent of funds authorized under the Public Health Service Act instead of 2.4 percent as proposed by both the House and Senate. 

ONE PERCENT TRANSFER AUTHORITY

(TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement continues a general provision as 

proposed by the Senate providing the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services the authority to transfer up to one percent of discretionary funds between a program, project, or activity. The House 

proposed this transfer authority at the account level. 

INTERNATIONAL HEALTH ACTIVITIES STAFFING

The conference agreement continues a general provision allowing Department of Health and Human Services health activities 

abroad to be supported under State Department authorities and includes an additional provision as proposed by the Senate authorizing the Secretary to pay personnel assigned abroad allowances 

and benefits similar to those for foreign service officers. The House 

did not propose the additional provision. 

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION STAFF TRAINING

The conference agreement continues a general provision regarding Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Individual

propose a similar provision.

smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1046 

Services to amend regulations by May 1, 2010 regarding financial 

conflict of interest among National Institutes of Health extramural 

investigators and institutions. The House did not propose a similar 

provision. 

The conferees are concerned that occurrences of conflict of interest among extramural grantees are investigated only when a 

complaint is received by the Department of Health and Human 

Services Office of Research Integrity. The conferees encourage NIH 

to develop a system for periodic review of conflict of interest documentation at extramural institutions to give some assurance that 

the new conflict of interest regulations have an effect. 

TITLE III 

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

EDUCATION FOR THE DISADVANTAGED

The conference agreement includes $15,914,666,000 for Edu- cation for the Disadvantaged instead of $15,938,215,000 as proposed by the House and $15,891,132,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement provides $5,073,490,000 in fiscal 

year 2010 and $10,841,176,000 in fiscal year 2011 funding for this 

account. 

For Title I School Improvement Grants, the conference agreement includes bill language permitting fiscal year 2010 appropriations and funds appropriated under the Recovery Act for these 

grants to be used by local educational agencies to serve any Title 

I, part A-eligible school that has not made adequate yearly 

progress for at least two years or is in a State’s lowest quintile of 

performance based on proficiency rates and, in the case of secondary schools, priority shall be given to those schools with graduation rates below 60 percent. Both the House and Senate proposed 

similar language. 

The conference agreement modifies bill language proposed by 

the Senate permitting the Secretary to establish minimum and 

maximum subgrant sizes applicable to fiscal year 2010 and Recovery Act funds for Title I School Improvement Grants. The conference agreement includes bill language permitting each State 

educational agency to award subgrants of up to $2,000,000 in size 

for each school eligible for Title I School Improvement Grants funding. The House did not propose similar language. 

For school improvement activities authorized under section 

1003(a) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), 

the conference agreement includes a technical clarification in bill 

language as proposed by the Senate clarifying that Title I funds appropriated in the Recovery Act are excluded from the calculation of 

amounts States may reserve for school improvement activities 

under section 1003(a) of the ESEA. The House proposed similar 

language. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language proposed by the House requiring each State educational agency to ensure that not less than 50 percent of its allocation under Title I 

School Improvement Grants is used for evidence-based reading instruction. The Senate did not propose a similar provision. The conVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 01050 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

ferees encourage the Department to work with State educational 

agencies to ensure that evidence-based reading instruction is embedded in school turnaround strategies for low-performing schools. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language re- serving $30,000,000 of Title I School Improvement Grants for competitive awards to local educational agencies located in counties in 

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas that were affected by Hurricanes 

Katrina, Ike, or Gustav, and specifying certain uses of these funds 

as proposed by the Senate. The House did not propose a similar 

provision. Instead, the conference agreement includes bill language 

providing $12,000,000 for competitive awards to Gulf Coast schools 

under the Fund for the Improvement of Education. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language proposed by the Senate requiring each State educational agency to ensure that 40 percent of its allocation under Title I School Improvement Grants is spent on improvement activities in middle and high 

schools, unless the State educational agency makes a determination that all middle and high schools can be served with a lesser 

amount. The House did not propose a similar provision. 

For the Striving Readers program, the conference agreement 

modifies bill language proposed by the Senate designating funds 

under section 1502 of the ESEA for a comprehensive literacy program, including pre-literacy skills, reading, and writing, for students from birth through grade 12. Of the total provided for this 

initiative, certain funds are reserved: (1) $10,000,000 for formula 

grants to States to support State Literacy teams, (2) one-half of one 

percent for the Secretary of Interior for the Bureau of Indian Education, (3) one-half of one percent for outlying areas, (4) and up to 

five percent for national activities conducted by the Secretary of 

Education. The remainder of the funds must be used for competitive awards to State educational agencies, of which up to five percent may be used for State leadership activities and not less than 

95 percent shall be awarded as subgrants to local educational agencies or other entities, giving priority to such agencies or entities 

serving greater numbers or percentages of disadvantaged children. 

The conference agreement provides that State subgrants must be 

allocated as follows: (1) at least 15 percent to serve children from 

birth through age five, (2) 40 percent to serve students in kindergarten through grade five, and (3) 40 percent to serve students in 

middle and high school, through grade 12, including an equitable 

distribution of funds between middle and high schools. Eligible entities receiving comprehensive literacy program subgrants must use 

these funds for services and activities that have certain characteristics of effective literacy instruction. The House proposed other 

funding designations for adolescent literacy, early literacy, and national activities and evaluation related to early childhood and adolescent literacy. 

The conferees direct the Department to prepare an implementation plan for K–12 literacy-related activities including, but not 

limited to, activities under Title I School Improvement Grants, 

Striving Readers, Reading is Fundamental, Reach Out and Read, 

and the Institute of Education Sciences, as proposed by the House. 

The Senate report did not propose similar report language. This 

plan shall be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations of the 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1048 

House of Representatives and the Senate not later than 30 days 

prior to release of a request for proposals under the Striving Readers program. 

The conferees request that the Department of Education Office 

of Inspector General (OIG) continue to monitor the Department’s 

implementation of procedures to identify, disclose, and manage potential conflicts of interest, as the Department implements this 

new comprehensive reading initiative. The conferees request that 

the OIG submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations of 

the House of Representatives and the Senate within one year after 

enactment of this Act assessing the adequacy of such procedures. 

Within the amount for the High School Graduation initiative, 

the conference agreement provides that up to $5,000,000 may be 

used for peer review, technical assistance, dissemination, evaluation, and other national activities as proposed by both the House 

and the Senate. The conferees direct the Department to provide a 

briefing to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate on the planned uses of funds for this 

initiative not less than 30 days prior to a request for proposals as 

proposed by the House. The Senate did not propose similar report 

language. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language proposed by the Senate specifying that funds for School Renovation 

shall be allocated under the terms and conditions of S. 1121 (School 

Building Fairness Act of 2009), as introduced in the Senate on May 

21, 2009. The House did not propose a similar provision. 

IMPACT AID

The conference agreement includes $1,276,183,000 for Impact 

Aid instead of $1,290,718,000 as proposed by the House and 

$1,265,718,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition, the conference agreement includes bill language providing one-year availability of funds for Impact Aid construction grants as proposed by 

the Senate instead of two-year availability of funds as proposed by 

the House. 

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS

The conference agreement includes $5,228,444,000 for the 

School Improvement Programs account instead of $5,244,644,000 

as proposed by the House and $5,197,316,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. The conference agreement provides $3,547,003,000 in fiscal 

year 2010 and $1,681,441,000 in fiscal year 2011 funding for this 

account. 

Within the amount provided for Teacher Quality State Grants,

provided for this initiative. The match may consist of cash or inkind offerings by private philanthropy or public sources, including 

funding allocated by partner State and school systems, and may be 

used for any purpose related to the program’s recruitment, training, and residencies for aspiring principals, the ongoing coaching 

and support of those school leaders, as well as related research activities. The House proposed funding for this initiative under 

School Leadership in Innovation and Improvement. The Senate did 

not propose a similar provision. 

For the Education Technology program, the conference agreement includes bill language permitting funds reserved for national 

activities to be used for activities authorized under section 802 of 

the Higher Education Opportunity Act. Neither the House nor the 

Senate proposed similar language. 

For the Foreign Language Assistance program, the conference 

agreement designates $9,729,000 as proposed by the Senate for 

five-year grants to local educational agencies that work in partnership with higher education institutions to establish articulated programs of study in national security-related languages. The House 

proposed $9,360,000. 

The conference agreement includes bill language proposed by 

the Senate that allows funds under the Education of Native Hawaiians program to be used for construction, renovation, and modernization of any elementary school, secondary school, or related

The House proposed similar language.

Education of Native Hawaiians program, not less than $1,500,000 

to the Hawaii Department of Education for school construction/renovation activities, $1,500,000 for the University of Hawaii’s Center

For the Charter School program, the conference agreement includes bill language as proposed by the Senate to permit the Secretary of Education to use up to $23,082,000 for the Per-Pupil Facilities Aid program and the Credit Enhancement for Charter 

School Facilities program. The agreement modifies language proposed in both the House and Senate bills to allow the Secretary to 

reserve up to $50,000,000 to make multiple awards to nonprofit 

charter management organizations and other entities that are not 

for-profit entities for replication and expansion of successful charter 

school models. 

The conference agreement also modifies bill language for the 

Charter School program proposed by the House mandating that the 

Secretary of Education reserve $10,000,000 to carry out technical 

assistance, including such assistance to authorized public chartering agencies in order to increase the number of high-performing 

charter schools; and that each Charter School program application 

describe a plan to monitor and hold accountable authorized public 

chartering agencies through such activities as providing technical 

assistance or establishing a professional development program. The 

bill language also mandates that each Charter School program application contain assurances that State law, regulations, or other 

policies require: (1) each authorized charter school in the State to 

operate under a legally binding charter or performance contract, 

conduct audits, and demonstrate improved achievement; and (2) 

authorized public chartering agencies to use increases in student 

achievement for all groups of students as the most important factor 

in renewing or revoking a school’s charter. The Senate did not propose similar language. 

Finally, for the Charter School program, the conference agreement includes bill language requiring the Department to submit a 

report describing the planned uses of certain funds prior to their 

obligation. Neither the House nor the Senate proposed similar language. 

For the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF), the conference agreement includes bill language as proposed by the Senate that: (1) requires TIF grantees to demonstrate that teacher performancebased compensation systems are developed with the input of teachers and school leaders, (2) permits TIF grantees to use funds to develop or improve systems and tools to enhance the quality and success of teacher compensation systems, and (3) requires applications 

for TIF grants to include a plan to sustain financially the activities

conducted and systems developed once the grant period has expired. The House did not propose these provisions. Within the funds provided for TIF, approximately $220,000,000 

will be used to continue fiscal year 2009 awards and the remaining 

funds will be available for new awards, training, technical assistance, evaluation and peer review activities.

civics education set-aside within the appropriation for Adult Education State Grants. The conferees intend for these funds to help 

States or localities affected significantly by immigration to implement integrated English literacy, U.S. history, and civics education 

programs that provide a program of instruction designed to help an 

English language learner achieve competence in English through 

contextualized instruction on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, naturalization procedures, civic participation, and United

award year, an increase of $200 over the previous award year. 

The conference agreement defers $561,000,000 from unobligated balances under the mandatory Academic Competitiveness 

and SMART grants program as proposed by the House. The Senate 

proposed to rescind, rather than defer, these funds. These balances

equipment or software necessary for the conduct of a rental program, (3) place a priority on higher cost and introductory level 

classes, and (4) focus on students with the greatest financial need. 

The conferees direct that the Department provide a briefing to the 

Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and 

the Senate not less than 30 days prior to the release of a request 

for proposals. Within the amount for FIPSE, $6,000,000 is included for

Senate. The House proposed $1,000,000 for these scholarships, 

which are intended to increase the size of the industrial health and 

safety workforce in the public and private sectors. 

For the Model Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary 

Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities, the conferees 

intend that the Department support a range of awards in size and 

scope, up to $1,000,000 for each year of the award year, to promote 

the implementation of high-quality model programs and to provide 

a better understanding of an array of effective practices. The conferees direct that the Department provide a briefing to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 

Senate not less than 30 days prior to the release of a request for 

proposals. 

For TRIO, the conferees intend that the increase over fiscal 

year 2009 be used for the Student Support Services program, which 

will be re-competed in fiscal year 2010. The conferees recognize 

that supportive services aimed at increasing retention and graduation of low-income students in college are an important complement 

to student financial aid, particularly the Pell Grant program. Many 

such retention services are supported through Student Support 

Services grants. Thus, the conferees intend that the funds provided 

will maintain the number of Student Support Services grantees.

HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY CAPITAL

FINANCING PROGRAM

The conference agreement includes $20,582,000 for the Historically Black College and University Capital Financing Program as 

proposed by the House instead of $10,354,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. 

INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION SCIENCES

The conference agreement includes $659,006,000 for the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) instead of $664,256,000 as proposed by the House and $679,256,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement specifies that $588,356,000 of total IES 

funding shall be available through fiscal year 2011. 

Within the amount provided for IES Research, Development, 

and Dissemination, the conference agreement includes $1,000,000 

for a national study on minority male achievement as described in 

section 1109 of the Higher Education Act. The House proposed 

$2,000,000 for this activity, while the Senate did not propose a 

similar provision. 

Within the amount provided for IES Research, Development, 

and Dissemination, the conference agreement includes $2,000,000 

for a new research and development center for adult learning and 

literacy, as outlined in House Report 111–220. The Senate did not 

propose a similar provision. 

The conferees are concerned about actions taken by IES that 

leave the impression that it is not subject to the same level of oversight and accountability as any other agency of the Department 

that receives and is responsible for allocating appropriated funds. 

In the fiscal year 2010 congressional budget justification, IES indicated that it would adhere to a congressional limitation included in 

the fiscal year 2009 explanatory statement of $8,023,000 for the 

What Works Clearinghouse (WWC). However, the IES increased its 

allocation to WWC by more than one-third above this amount, 

without any notification to the Committees on Appropriations that 

spending information presented in budget documents would not be 

followed. The Committee expects the IES to adhere to funding limits and guidance established by the Committees on Appropriations. 

In addition, responses to requests for information about IES 

activities regularly come in later than most other agencies and the 

congressional budget justification provides limited information 

about the specific spending plans of the IES and the proposed allocation of resources. The conferees strongly support the mission of 

the IES, but believe the IES should make a greater effort to communicate clearly its plans for and use of taxpayer resources. Therefore, the conferees direct the IES to submit an operating plan to 

the Committees on Appropriations within 30 days of enactment of 

this Act and quarterly reports thereafter that describe planned research, development, and dissemination activities; actions taken to 

implement such activities; and amounts obligated for each activity 

at the level of detail and in the format shown in the program output measures displayed in the fiscal year 2010 congressional budget justification.

DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement includes $456,200,000 for Program Administration instead of $452,200,000 as proposed by both the 

House and Senate. The conferees direct the Department to establish an Educational Opportunity and Equity Commission, as outlined in House Report 111–220. The Senate did not propose this 

provision. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

IMPACT AID

The conference agreement includes a general provision as proposed by the Senate amending Public Law 110–161 to make available certain Impact Aid basic support payments to several school 

districts in Illinois for an additional two years. The House did not 

propose a similar provision. 

PALAU

The conference agreement includes a general provision that extends Palau’s eligibility for certain education programs through the 

end of fiscal year 2010. Neither the House nor the Senate proposed 

a similar provision. 

STATE INCENTIVE GRANTS

The conference agreement includes a new general provision 

making a technical amendment to section 14006 of Public Law 

111–5 pertaining to State Incentive Grants. Neither the House nor 

the Senate proposed a similar provision. 

SCHOOL BUILDING FAIRNESS ACT

The conference agreement does not include a general provision 

as proposed by the Senate amending S. 1121, the School Building 

Fairness Act of 2009, to include provisions pertaining to public 

school libraries. The House did not propose a similar provision. 

TITLE IV 

RELATED AGENCIES 

CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

OPERATING EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $857,021,000 for the operating expenses of the programs administered by the Corporation 

for National and Community Service (the Corporation) instead of 

$792,179,000 as proposed by the House and $864,316,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funding for the National Service Trust is provided in a separate appropriations account as proposed by both the 

House and Senate.

Senior Volunteer Corps, the maximum total dollars that may be 

used in fiscal year 2010 for Grants.gov/eGrants support, Training

and Technical Assistance, and Recruitment and Retention activities 

shall not exceed the amount provided for these activities in fiscal 

year 2009. The House did not propose similar language. 

As proposed by the Senate, the conferees direct that any assignments made under section 1708 of the Serve America Act relating to programs authorized under the Domestic Volunteer Service 

Act shall be published in the Federal Register and, following normal procedure, allow for a 90-day comment period. Further, the 

conferees direct the Corporation to detail any such assignments in 

its annual budget justification. The House did not propose similar 

language. 

Within the total provided for Innovation, Assistance, and Other 

Activities, the conference agreement includes $50,000,000 for the 

Social Innovation Fund as proposed by the Senate instead of 

$35,000,000 as proposed by the House. 

Within the total provided for Innovation, Assistance, and Other 

Activities, the conference agreement includes $1,000,000 for the 

nonprofit capacity building program instead of $2,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House did not propose funding for this 

program. 

Within the total provided for Innovation, Assistance, and Other Activities, the conference agreement includes $4,000,000 for the 

Volunteer Generation Fund instead of $8,000,000 as proposed by 

the Senate. The House did not propose similar language. The conference agreement includes bill language making the full amount 

available on a competitive basis to State Commissions. Neither the 

House nor the Senate proposed similar language. 

The conference agreement does not concur in the Senate proposal to include funding within the Corporation for competitive 

grants under the Volunteer Generation Fund focused on identifying 

and enrolling eligible individuals into already existing Federal, 

State, and local benefit programs. Rather, $2,000,000 is included 

for this activity within the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. The House did not 

propose similar language. 

Within the total provided for Learn and Serve America, the 

conference agreement includes $2,000,000 for the newly authorized 

Summer of Service program as proposed by the House. The Senate 

did not propose funding for this program. 

NATIONAL SERVICE TRUST

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

As proposed by the Senate, the conference agreement includes $197,000,000 for the National Service Trust, to be available until 

expended, instead of $178,214,000 as proposed by the House. 

The conference agreement does not concur with the House proposal to include language designating that $1,000,000 within the 

total for the National Service Trust is for education awards for 

Summer of Service program participants. The Senate did not propose similar language. The conferees note that Summer of Service 

program participants are entitled to education awards, therefore 

language carving out dollars specifically for these program participants is unnecessary.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $88,000,000 for the Corporation for National and Community Service Salaries and Expenses as proposed by the Senate instead of $80,923,000 as proposed by the House. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

CHANGES THROUGH RULEMAKING

The conference agreement continues to include language that 

the Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation) shall make any changes to program requirements, service delivery, or policy only through public notice and comment rulemaking to include service delivery changes in the administration 

and/or governance of national service programs as proposed by the 

House. The Senate proposed language that the Corporation notify 

the House and Senate Appropriations Committees 15 days prior to 

making any significant changes to the programs or policies. 

COMBINED MATCHING OF GRANTS

The conference agreement continues to include language that 

combines separate matching requirements for AmeriCorps grants 

as proposed by the House. The Senate did not propose similar language. 

CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING

The conference agreement includes a fiscal year 2012 advance appropriation of $445,000,000 for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) instead of $440,000,000 as proposed by the House 

and $450,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

In addition, the conference agreement provides fiscal year 2010 appropriations for CPB totaling $86,000,000 instead of 

$101,000,000 as proposed by the House and $71,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the total fiscal year 2010 funding in the 

conference agreement, $25,000,000 is for fiscal stabilization grants 

to public radio and television stations, which have experienced a 

downturn in revenues due to the recession that has resulted in job 

losses and reductions to local programming and services. The 

House proposed $40,000,000 and the Senate proposed $10,000,000 

for this purpose. In addition, the conference agreement includes bill 

language providing that fiscal stabilization grants shall be awarded 

to public radio and television licensees no later than 45 days after 

enactment of this Act based on the guidance outlined in House Report 111–220. The remaining fiscal year 2010 appropriations include $36,000,000 for digital transition grants and $25,000,000 to 

complete the replacement of the public radio interconnection system.

of a report, such report is to be submitted to both Houses of Congress. 

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST

Reprogramming Guidelines.—The following reprogramming 

guidelines apply for all military construction and family housing 

projects. A project or account (including the sub-elements of an account) which has been specifically reduced by the Congress in acting on the budget request is considered to be a congressional interest item and as such, prior approval is required. Accordingly, no 

reprogrammings to an item specifically reduced below the threshold 

by the Congress are permitted, except that the Department of Defense may seek reprogrammings for appropriated increments. 

The reprogramming criteria that apply to military construction 

projects (25 percent of the funded amount or $2,000,000, whichever 

is less) continue to apply to new housing construction projects and 

to improvements over $2,000,000. To provide the services the flexiVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 01338 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

bility to proceed with construction contracts without disruption or 

delay, the costs associated with environmental hazard remediation 

such as asbestos removal, radon abatement, lead-based paint removal or abatement, and any other legislated environmental hazard remediation may be excluded, provided that such remediation 

requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at the time of the 

budget submission. This exclusion applies to projects authorized in 

this budget year, as well as projects authorized in prior years for 

which construction has not been completed. Planning and design 

costs associated with military construction and family housing 

projects may also be excluded from these guidelines. In instances 

where prior approval to a reprogramming request for a project or 

account has been received from the Committees on Appropriations, 

the adjusted amount approved becomes the new base for any future 

increase or decrease via below-threshold reprogrammings (provided 

that the project or account is not a congressional interest item as 

defined above). 

In addition to these guidelines, the services are directed to adhere to the guidance for military construction reprogrammings and 

notifications, including the pertinent statutory authorities contained in DOD Financial Management Regulation 7000.14–R and 

relevant updates and policy memoranda. The conferees encourage 

the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to use a format 

similar to that used by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to 

submit reprogramming requests. 

Incrementally Funded Projects.—The conferees note that the 

Administration requested several large military construction 

projects that can be incrementally funded, but were instead submitted as large single-year requests, in accordance with a directive 

from the Office of Management and Budget to the Department of 

Defense to severely restrict the use of incremental funding for military construction. The Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress have previously notified the Administration 

that they reserve the prerogative to provide incremental funding 

where appropriate, in accordance with authorizing legislation. The 

conferees continue to believe that military construction projects 

should be fully funded or separated into stand-alone phases when 

practical. In some cases, however, incremental funding makes fiscal 

and programmatic sense. The conference agreement therefore incrementally funds the following projects consistent with the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2010: Aviation Task 

Force Complex Phase 1, Fort Wainwright, Alaska; North Region 

Tertiary Treatment Plant Phase 1, Camp Pendleton, California; 

Hospital Replacement, Fort Bliss, Texas; Data Center, Camp Williams, Utah; Ship Repair Pier Replacement, Portsmouth, Virginia; 

Apra Harbor Wharves Improvements Phase 1, Guam; and Hospital 

Replacement, Guam. 

Bid Savings.—The conferees are aware of significant bid savings realized by the military departments and Defense agencies in 

the fiscal year 2009 military construction program due to a competitive bidding climate and lower material costs and have adjusted 

appropriated amounts for certain accounts to reflect these savings 

as well as projected savings in the fiscal year 2010 program. Individual project notifications provided to the congressional defense 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1336 

committees pursuant to section 2853 of title 10, United States 

Code, show that the Department of Defense has realized in total 

well over half a billion dollars in fiscal year 2009 military construction bid savings, and is projecting similar substantial savings for 

fiscal year 2010. However, the services and agencies are required 

to notify Congress of only those cost variations equal to or exceeding 25 percent of the appropriated amount for military construction 

projects. In order to enhance congressional oversight and provide 

greater visibility of cumulative bid savings in the fiscal year 2010 

program, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to 

the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a 

quarterly consolidated report from each of the military departments and Defense agencies identifying, by project name, location, 

and dollar amount, bid savings in excess of 10 percent of the 

amount appropriated for military construction projects for which 

funds are obligated in fiscal year 2010. The report shall include 

projects funded through the regular military construction accounts, 

family housing construction accounts, the Department of Defense 

Base Closure Account 2005, and the overseas contingency operations military construction accounts. The initial report shall be 

submitted no later than April 30, 2010, and thereafter no later 

than 30 days after the end of each quarter. 

Report on Design Obligations.—The conferees direct that the 

Secretary of Defense, and the secretaries of the Army, Navy, and 

Air Force, each submit separate semi-annual reports on the obligation and expenditure of planning and design funds. The Secretary 

of Defense’s report shall cover Military Construction, Defense-Wide, 

and the reports by the Army, Navy, and Air Force shall cover active, guard, and reserve military construction accounts. Each report 

shall provide data on the total amount available from each and all 

fiscal years for planning and design activities, as well as the 

amounts currently obligated and expended. The reports shall be 

submitted no later than 30 days following the end of the second 

and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2010. 

Nuclear Weapons Security.—The conferees direct the Secretary 

of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations 

of both Houses of Congress analyzing alternative designs for any 

major construction projects requested in fiscal year 2011 or included in the accompanying future years defense plan for the purpose of securing strategic nuclear weapons. The report of alternatives should include the full life cycle cost and benefits including 

security enhancements required for each major construction 

project. The report shall be submitted along with the annual budget request. 

Department of Defense Cooperation with the Government Accountability Office.—The conferees are concerned by indications 

that the Department of Defense is not cooperating fully with Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigations of matters that 

are of vital interest to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress. GAO activities are crucial to the Committees’ 

ongoing oversight of Administration military construction programs 

and policies. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the Department fully complies in a timely manner with 

valid GAO requests for information. The conferees further direct 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1337 

the GAO to provide the Committees with an update on Department 

cooperation with its investigations no later than 30 days following 

the enactment of this Act. 

Delivery of Notifications.—The conferees direct the Office of the 

Secretary of Defense, the services, and the Defense agencies to submit a quarterly report listing all notifications that have been submitted to the Committees during the preceding three-month period.

previously appropriated for the establishment of unmanned aerial 

system (UAS) field training facilities at an unspecified location. 

After those funds were appropriated, the Air Force selected 

Holloman AFB, New Mexico, as the site for the UAS field training 

unit, which required significant revisions to the scope of these facilities. The conference agreement provides $37,500,000 for the revised UAS field training unit complex at Holloman, consistent with

cilities at the Colombian Air Force Base, Palanquero, Colombia. 

The conferees understand that this funding is not intended to establish a U.S. base or a permanent U.S. military presence in Colombia, and that any activities conducted by U.S. forces from this 

or any other location in Colombia would be based on full respect 

for the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and non-interventionism, in accordance with the Defense Cooperation Agreement 

of October 30, 2009. The conference agreement reduces the amount 

requested for this project by $3,000,000 to meet this intent. 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, DEFENSE-WIDE

(INCLUDING RESCISSION AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement appropriates $3,093,679,000 for Military Construction, Defense-Wide, instead of $2,743,526,000 as 

proposed by the House and $3,137,614,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within this amount, the agreement provides $131,942,000 for

$121,442,000 as proposed by the House and $142,942,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement rescinds $151,160,000 from previously appropriated funds due to the Administration’s cancellation 

of a proposed ballistic missile defense system in Europe. The conference agreement also includes $68,500,000 for an Aegis Ashore 

Test Facility, as proposed by the Senate, to support the Administration’s new plan for ballistic missile defense. The House bill contained no similar provision. 

Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, 

the conferees direct that not less than the specified amount be 

made available for the design of the following project:

new site to accommodate a facility replacing the current Landstuhl 

Regional Medical Center in Germany, including the current site, 

Ramstein Air Base, the Weilerbach area adjacent to Ramstein, and 

other locations. The conferees direct the Department to provide the 

Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress with a 

cost-benefit analysis of the various site options, and a justification 

for the preferred site. This assessment should include ancillary facilities that need to be collocated with the new medical facility, as 

well as any additional facilities or functions that would benefit U.S. 

forces in Europe by being collocated on the same site. The conferees 

direct the Department to submit this assessment with the fiscal 

year 2011 budget request. 

Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP).—The conference agreement provides $174,209,000 for ECIP, including 

$10,500,000 for planning and design, instead of $90,000,000 as proposed by the House and $225,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

for making energy efficiency a key component of construction on 

military installations. The conferees urge the Department to use 

the additional funds to invest in innovative renewable energy 

projects as well as projects that enhance energy security at military 

installations. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide an expenditure plan for the additional funds to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 45

The conference agreement appropriates $323,225,000 for the

$300,000,000 above the President’s budget request to fund the expansion of the Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP) to provide 

mortgage relief to eligible personnel who sustain losses on the sale 

of their home due to relocation requirements during the current 

mortgage crisis, as well as wounded warriors and the spouses of 

fallen warriors. The program was permanently expanded in 2009 

to cover wounded warriors who must relocate for medical reasons 

and spouses of fallen warriors, and was expanded through 2012 for 

all military and qualified civilian personnel who receive orders to 

move during the mortgage crisis and must sell their home at a loss. 

According to the Department of Defense, the funds provided in this 

Act, in addition to the $555,000,000 provided for the initial expansion of the program in the American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009, are sufficient to meet all currently projected funding 

requirements for the HAP expansion.

$7,479,498,000 as proposed by both the House and Senate. The 

amount approved by the conferees fully funds the authorized level 

for fiscal year 2010. The reduction from the request is due to the 

realignment of funding for the hospital replacement at Fort Bliss, 

Texas to the Military Construction, Defense-Wide account. The conferees direct the Department to continue notifying the Committees 

on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress of any above-threshold cost or scope variation on projects, and cancellation of projects, 

or any transfer of funds among accounts and construction projects 

associated with the BRAC 2005 program. 

BRAC Transportation Improvements Study.—The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide $450,000 from available 

funds within the 2005 Base Closure Account to enter into an arrangement with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to conduct a study on the funding of transportation improvements to accommodate installation growth associated with the BRAC 2005 program. The study shall: 

(1) examine case studies of congestion caused on metropolitan 

road and transit facilities when BRAC requirements cause shifts in 

personnel to occur faster than facilities can be improved through 

the usual State and local processes; 

(2) review the criteria used by the Defense Access Roads (DAR) 

program for determining the eligibility of transportation projects 

and the appropriate Department of Defense share of public highway and transit improvements in BRAC cases; 

(3) assess the adequacy of current Federal surface transportation and Department of Defense programs that fund highway and 

transit improvements in BRAC cases to mitigate transportation impacts in urban areas with preexisting traffic congestion and saturated roads; 

(4) identify promising approaches for funding road and transit 

improvements and streamlining transportation project approvals in 

BRAC cases; and

1345 

(5) provide recommendations for modifications of current policy 

for the DAR and Office of Economic Adjustment programs, including funding strategies, road capacity assessments, eligibility criteria, and other government policies and programs the National 

Academy of Sciences may identify, to mitigate the impact of BRACrelated installation growth on preexisting urban congestion. 

The NAS is directed to provide an interim report of its findings 

to the Secretary of Defense and the Committees on Appropriations 

of both Houses of Congress no later than May 14, 2010, with a 

final report to be provided no later than January 31, 2011.

TITLE II 

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS 

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST

Outreach at Colleges and Universities.—The conferees are 

aware that with increasing numbers of veterans utilizing the new 

GI Bill benefits, veteran enrollment at institutions of higher education is growing. The conferees strongly encourage the Department to utilize all means at its disposal to ensure that effective 

outreach and services are offered at institutions of higher education 

for student veterans, particularly those combat veterans with neurological and psychological illnesses or injuries. 

Guide and Service Dog Program.—The conferees are concerned 

with the lack of progress the Department has made to fully implement section 1714 of title 38 regarding the provision of guide dogs 

and service dogs to qualified veterans seeking such services. Additionally, the conferees direct the Department to immediately begin 

the process of assisting those veterans with mental illnesses, to include Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), who would benefit 

from having a service dog and provide the authorization to do so 

in the bill. While the conferees understand that the Department is 

currently reviewing its policies and regulations in order to improve 

access to guide and service dogs, and advance its partnerships with 

accredited nonprofit organizations with expertise in the training of 

service dogs and education in the use of service dogs, the conferees 

want this process to accelerate. Therefore, the conference agreement provides an additional $2,000,000 in Medical Services for the 

Guide and Service Dog Program and provides additional funds in 

Medical and Prosthetic Research for any necessary studies. Further, the conference agreement provides additional funds to the Office of Inspector General and directs the Office of Inspector General 

to review the Guide and Service Dog Program to include its current 

and pending policies and regulations and wait list and outreach 

procedures and report to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress on its recommendations to improve this program by July 8, 2010. Additionally, the Department is encouraged 

to expand its partnership with accredited nonprofit service dog organizations where veterans with PTSD help to train service dogs. 

VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION

COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement appropriates $47,396,106,000 for 

Compensation and Pensions. Of the amount provided, not more 

than $29,283,000 is to be transferred to General Operating Expenses, Medical Support and Compliance, and Information Technology Systems for reimbursement of necessary expenses in implementing provisions of title 38. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1349 

READJUSTMENT BENEFITS

The conference agreement appropriates $9,232,369,000 for Readjustment Benefits. 

VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES

The conference agreement appropriates $49,288,000 for Veterans Insurance and Indemnities as proposed by both the House 

and the Senate. 

VETERANS HOUSING BENEFIT PROGRAM FUND

The conference agreement appropriates such sums as may be 

necessary for costs associated with direct and guaranteed loans for 

the Veterans Housing Benefit Program Fund as proposed by both 

the House and the Senate. The agreement limits obligations for direct loans to not more than $500,000 and provides that 

$165,082,000 shall be available for administrative expenses. 

VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

direct loans from the Vocational Rehabilitation Loans Program Account as proposed by both the House and the Senate, plus $328,000 

to be transferred to and merged with General Operating Expenses. 

The agreement provides for a direct loan limitation of $2,298,000 

as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

NATIVE AMERICAN VETERAN HOUSING LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT

The conference agreement appropriates $664,000 for administrative expenses of the Native American Veteran Housing Loan 

Program Account as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS

VETERANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

The conference agreement provides up to $750,000 of the funds 

available in General Operating Expenses and Medical Support and 

Compliance to carry out the Guaranteed Transitional Housing 

Loans for Homeless Veterans Program Account as proposed by both 

the House and the Senate. 

VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

Advance Appropriations.—The conference agreement includes 

an advance appropriation for the Medical Services, Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities accounts. The goal of 

this advance appropriation is to provide the Veterans Health Administration with reliable and timely funding for their current 

services so the delivery of medical care is not disrupted. However, 

the provision of an advance appropriation should be seen as only 

the first step in this process. The conferees direct the Department 

to include in future budget submissions the budget plan for the advance appropriation provided in the previous year’s appropriation 

to include the amount of funds that will be allocated in accordance 

with the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation, and expect funding provided by advance appropriation to be made available to the 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1350 

Veterans Integrated Service Networks on October 1, 2010. The conferees further direct the Department to include an advance appropriation request for current services for the Medical Services, Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities accounts in future budget submissions. 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.—The conferees direct the Department to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations of 

both Houses of Congress on the Veterans Health Administration’s 

use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy by March 31, 2010. This report 

should include, but not be limited to, the number of veterans and 

types of conditions being treated using this therapy, outcome measurements, and number of facilities that provide this therapy. 

State Home Care.—The conferees urge the Department to undertake a feasibility study to identify any potential impacts of permitting State Home Care facilities to provide services to non-veterans who have had a child die while serving in the Armed Forces, 

as long as such services are not denied to a qualified veteran seeking those services. The Department is directed to report back to the 

Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 

90 days after enactment of this Act on what steps, if any, have 

been taken to undertake the feasibility study and any findings, 

should the study be completed. 

Hiring Incentives for Rural and Highly Rural Areas.—The conferees are aware that the Department currently provides recruitment and relocation incentive pay to attract high quality medical 

personnel. However, the conferees are concerned that the Department has not been aggressive enough in utilizing this program in 

underserved rural areas. Therefore, the Department is directed to 

provide an additional $1,500,000 for incentive pay from Medical 

Services and $1,500,000 for incentive pay from Medical Support 

and Compliance for recruitment and permanent relocation of high 

quality healthcare providers and administrators, respectively, to 

areas designated by the Veterans Health Administration as rural 

or highly rural areas. Further, the Department is directed to provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 

of Congress on the number of new employees receiving incentives 

with this funding and the structure of the program by March 31, 

2010. 

MEDICAL SERVICES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement appropriates $34,707,500,000 for 

Medical Services, instead of $34,705,500,000 as proposed by the 

House and $34,705,250,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the 

amount provided, $1,015,000,000 is available for obligation until 

September 30, 2011, as proposed by the House, instead of 

$1,600,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement further 

appropriates an advance appropriation for fiscal year 2011 of 

$37,136,000,000 as proposed by the House, instead of 

$37,136,000,000 as proposed by the Senate in title V, to become 

available on October 1, 2010, and remain available until September 

30, 2011. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1351 

The conference agreement includes an additional $1,000,000 

for the Education Debt Reduction Program to be used as a hiring 

incentive for mental health professionals, an additional $2,000,000 

for the Guide and Service Dog Program, and directs an additional 

$4,000,000 for the Supportive Services For Low Income Veterans 

and Families, funding the full authorized level of $20,000,000, and 

directs an additional $6,000,000 for the Homeless Grant and Per 

Diem Program, funding the full authorized level of $150,000,000, 

and provides sufficient funding to allow for additional personnel for 

the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program to address 

any increase in the number of vouchers offered and directs the Department to increase the number of case workers as necessary to 

accommodate the increase in vouchers. 

MEDICAL SUPPORT AND COMPLIANCE

The conference agreement appropriates $4,930,000,000 for Medical Support and Compliance, instead of $4,896,500,000 as proposed by the House and $5,100,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Of the amount provided, $145,000,000 is available for obligation 

until September 30, 2011, as proposed by the House, instead of 

$250,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement further appropriates an advance appropriation for fiscal year 2011 of 

$5,307,000,000 as proposed by the House, instead of $5,307,000,000 

as proposed by the Senate in title V, to become available on October 1, 2010, and remain available until September 30, 2011. 

MEDICAL FACILITIES

The conference agreement appropriates $4,859,000,000 for Medical Facilities, instead of $4,893,000,000 as proposed by the 

House and $4,849,883,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the 

amount provided, $145,000,000 is available until September 30, 

2011, as proposed by the House, instead of $250,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement further appropriates an advance appropriation for fiscal year 2011 of $5,740,000,000 as proposed by the House, instead of $5,740,000,000 as proposed by the 

Senate in title V, to become available on October 1, 2010, and remain available until September 30, 2011. 

In addition, the conference agreement specifies that $130,000,000 for non-recurring maintenance shall be allocated in a 

manner not subject to the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation 

model, instead of $200,000,000 as proposed by the House and 

$100,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement 

includes an additional $5,000,000 to hire extra contracting staff. 

Community Based Outpatient Clinics.—The conference agreement includes an additional $30,000,000 for the Department to 

open new community based outpatient clinics (CBOC) in rural 

areas. The conferees understand that the Department funds new 

outpatient clinics through the Medical Services account as well as 

the Medical Facilities account and reminds the Department that 

they may reprogram funds between these accounts for this initiative. The conferees direct the Department to provide to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a detailed 

expenditure plan for this funding no later than March 1, 2010. 

Moreover, the plan should also include a list of all current clinics, 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1352 

regardless of size or contractual arrangements, which provide 

healthcare services in an outpatient setting. 

The conferees direct the Department to provide the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress with a report by 

February 16, 2010, on the feasibility of and/or plans for clinics in 

the following locations: Chattanooga, Tennessee; Idabel, Oklahoma; 

and Hinesville, Georgia. 

MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH

The conference agreement appropriates $581,000,000 for Medical and Prosthetic Research, instead of $580,000,000 as proposed 

by both the House and the Senate. 

Gulf War Illness Research.—The conferees are concerned that 

the Department has not placed sufficient emphasis on finding a 

cause or cure for Gulf War Veterans’ illnesses, which affect thousands of veterans every day. Veterans from the First Gulf War and 

now the current conflict are experiencing illness that cannot be explained and rates of other more known illnesses at higher than the 

national average. The conferees have repeatedly encouraged the 

Department to do more research in this area and have consistently 

provided the funds to do so. However, the Department has not 

shown a consistent level of commitment for this vital research. In 

order to better track the expenditures for this research, the Department is directed to include Gulf War Veterans’ illnesses as a designated research area in the fiscal year 2011 budget request. 

NATIONAL CEMETERY ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement appropriates $250,000,000 for the 

National Cemetery Administration as proposed by both the House 

and the Senate. Of the amount provided, $24,200,000 is available 

until September 30, 2011, as proposed by both the House and the 

Senate. 

The conference agreement includes an additional $8,000,000 

for the National Shrine Commitment Program and to correct 

gravesite deficiencies to include gravesite renovation projects to replace turf, repair sunken graves, and raise, realign and clean 

headstones. 

The conferees direct the Department to report by January 29, 

2010, on plans to expand the Chattanooga National Cemetery. Additionally, the conferees direct the Department to conduct a study 

to determine the need and feasibility of establishing a National 

Veterans Cemetery in the eastern portion of South Dakota. The 

conferees are also aware that there is no active National Veterans 

Cemetery in North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, or eastern 

Washington, which encompasses approximately 500,000 square 

miles. Therefore, the conferees direct the Department to evaluate 

the feasibility of establishing a national veterans cemetery in this 

area, with consideration of the Yellowstone County Veterans Cemetery in Yellowstone County, Montana.

DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION

GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES

The conference agreement appropriates $2,086,707,000 for 

General Operating Expenses, instead of $2,086,200,000 as proposed 

by the House and $2,081,501,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 

agreement provides not less than $1,689,207,000 as proposed by 

the Senate for the Veterans Benefits Administration, instead of 

$1,690,200,000 as proposed by the House. Of the amount provided, 

$111,000,000 is available for obligation until September 30, 2011, 

as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

The conferees do not concur with the budget proposal to shift 

the cost of disability compensation exams from the mandatory 

Compensation and Pensions account to the discretionary General 

Operating Expenses account. The funding reduction in this account 

reflects this decision. Funding to continue the disability compensation exam pilot program is provided in the Compensation and Pensions account. The Department is directed to provide $10,500,000 

for the Paralympic Program. 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

The conference agreement appropriates $3,307,000,000 for Information Technology (IT) Systems as proposed by both the House 

and the Senate. 

The conference agreement directs the Department to submit an 

expenditure plan to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress within 30 days of enactment as proposed by the 

House, instead of 60 days of enactment as proposed by the Senate. 

Reporting Requirements.—The conferees are aware that the 

Assistant Secretary for Information Technology conducted a comprehensive review of all information technology projects under development, resulting in some projects being halted completely and 

others paused to improve internal governance structures. The conferees understand how such a comprehensive review could alter the 

fiscal year 2010 request for projects and programs that are to receive the proposed funding. Therefore, the conferees have included 

bill language that restricts the obligation of $800,485,000 in IT development funds until the Secretary or the Chief Information Officer submits a certification letter to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress identifying which project/program 

is to receive funding in fiscal year 2010 and in what amount. These 

certifications may be submitted incrementally and are to serve as 

the base reprogramming amounts for development programs. In addition, the conferees direct the Department to submit the total life 

cycle development costs of projects and programs receiving development funds in fiscal year 2010, and to include these estimated costs 

in future budget submissions. 

The conferees further direct the Assistant Secretary for Information Technology to report quarterly to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the status of the Program 

Management Accountability System.

* Funding in italics denotes a non-add and is not in addition to the subcategory total. 

In addition, the conference agreement includes authority to collect $8,158,305 from certain authorized fees and payments. The Department of State also projects that authorized fee revenues for the 

Border Security Program of the Department of State will total 

$1,657,515,000 in fiscal year 2010. 

The conference agreement includes authority for the Secretary 

of State to transfer up to $10,000,000 of the funds available under 

this heading to funds available under the Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service heading for emergency evacuations 

and rewards payments, as authorized, as proposed by the House 

and Senate. 

The conference agreement includes a requirement that the Secretary of State submit to the Committees on Appropriations a report detailing planned expenditures for funds appropriated under 

this heading, not later than 45 days after enactment of this Act, 

which was not in the House or Senate bills. The conferees expect 

the report to include accompanying tables that compare the 

planned fiscal year 2010 spending levels to the actual expenditures 

for the prior fiscal year and that these tables be updated and submitted when any reprogramming notification is submitted. 

Worldwide Security Protection 

The conference agreement provides $1,586,214,000 for Worldwide Security Protection, which is $8,787,000 above the House and 

$8,786,000 below the Senate. The conferees note that $13,375,000 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1438 

requested for fiscal year 2010 was included in the Supplemental 

Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–32), bringing the total 

available for Worldwide Security Protection in fiscal year 2010 to 

$1,599,589,000. Within the amount provided, $221,926,000, and a 

projected 200 security positions, are to strengthen the Department’s capacity to respond to the growing security challenges at 

posts around the world, including the requested positions for the 

second year of the Visa and Passport Security Plan. 

Enhancing Diplomatic Capacity and Readiness 

Human Resources Initiative (HRI).—The conference agreement 

does not include a provision specifying an amount for the HRI, as 

proposed by the Senate. Instead, the amount for the HRI is included in the table above. 

The conference agreement includes $344,190,000 and a projected 745 positions to enhance the diplomatic capacity and readiness of the Department of State. Within the total, $118,279,000, 

and 565 new positions, is for phase II of the HRI, as proposed by 

the House and Senate. These additional funds provided in fiscal 

year 2010 will continue the expansion of the Department’s training 

capacity, increase representation on interagency and Defense 

staffs, and augment the overseas diplomatic presence at strategic 

posts worldwide. The balance, $225,911,000 and a projected 180 positions, is to meet workload demands and resource requirements at 

posts in Africa, East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Eurasia, the 

Near East, South Central Asia, and the Western Hemisphere, as 

well as to begin to address the vacancy rate in domestic Foreign 

and Civil Service positions. The conferees agree that the Secretary 

of State should give priority to overseas assignments in allocating 

these positions. 

Locally Employed Staff (LES).—The conference agreement does 

not include a provision regarding LES, as proposed by the Senate. 

However, the conferees recognize and appreciate the invaluable 

contributions of LES to overseas operations and programs, and 

note that they often serve without adequate salary increases and/ 

or at less-than-prevailing wages and compensation packages. 

The conferees recommend $695,000,000 for salary and compensation (including awards and special benefits) for LES, and endorse the directive in the Senate bill regarding the review/database, guidelines, and the definition of LES in section 7069(b), (c), 

and (d), respectively, except that the Department of State shall 

consult with the Committees on Appropriations on the appropriate 

length of periodic reviews of salary and compensation guidelines. 

Personnel Strategy.—The conference agreement requires the 

Secretary of State to submit to the Committees on Appropriations 

a strategy for projected personnel requirements for the Department 

of State over the next three fiscal years, similar to that proposed 

by the Senate. This strategy should describe the resources required 

for hiring, training, and deploying new personnel to domestic and 

overseas positions, including resources necessary for office and 

housing facilities. Concurrent with the submission of this strategy, 

the Secretary of State is directed to submit a report describing the 

hiring, training, and deploying of new staff since fiscal year 2008, 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1439 

including resources expended for such purposes to date, and to update this report on a semi-annual basis. 

Funding Issues 

Afghanistan Operations.—The conference agreement provides $485,595,000 for diplomatic operations in Afghanistan for fiscal 

year 2010, which is the same as the request, after including funds 

requested for fiscal year 2010 that were appropriated in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–32). The conferees understand that operational requirements in Afghanistan 

may change, and direct that any such change be subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations, 

including changes to the civilian staffing surge that are above the 

previously justified levels. 

The conferees direct the Secretary of State to submit to the 

Committees on Appropriations not later than 45 days after enactment of this Act and every 60 days thereafter through September 

30, 2010, a report detailing all United States Government personnel serving in Afghanistan, including on a temporary duty 

basis. This report may be submitted in classified form, if necessary, 

and may be consolidated with the reporting requirement on civilian 

staffing levels in Pakistan. 

The conference agreement does not include a prohibition on the 

use of funds in the Act to acquire property in Kabul, Afghanistan, 

as proposed by the Senate. Instead, section 7004(c) of this Act requires the Secretary of State to consult with the Committees on 

Appropriations prior to any final decision to acquire property for 

diplomatic facilities in Kabul. The conferees note that $25,000,000 was included for the Department of State’s Afghanistan airwing in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–32). The balance of the 

funds requested for fiscal year 2010, $35,000,000, is included in 

this conference agreement. 

Cultural Heritage.—The conference agreement provides 

$5,750,000 for the Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation, of 

which $1,000,000 is to support at least two large projects of historic 

cultural significance, as proposed in the Senate Report. The conferees are aware that the Department of State may use funds made 

available under the Economic Support Fund (ESF) heading in title 

III to support additional cultural preservation projects. The conferees intend that all funds made available from this Act for cultural preservation projects be subject to the Committee’s regular 

notification procedures and that the projects should be selected utilizing the technical expertise of the Department’s Cultural Heritage 

Center, including the technical review and competitive process established by the Center. 

Iraq Operations.—The conference agreement provides 

$1,121,641,000 for Department of State Operations in Iraq. This is 

in addition to $336,000,000 appropriated under this heading in the 

Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–32) for fiscal year 2010, bringing the total available for such purposes in fiscal year 2010 to $1,457,641,000. 

The conferees direct the Department of State to use funds provided for operations in Iraq to address the requirements identified 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1440 

by the Office of Inspector General in Report Number MERO–A–09– 

10 that arise from the anticipated military drawdown, including 

enhanced security around Embassy Baghdad’s compound, convoy 

security for fuel, food, and other supplies, commercial air travel as 

an alternative to military transport, and contracting issues regarding the replacement of United States Army Corps of Engineers’ 

support services. 

The conferees continue to encourage the Chief of Mission in 

Iraq to conduct periodic rightsizing reviews to ensure appropriate 

civilian staffing levels before, during, and after the anticipated 

United States military drawdown. 

Intelligence and Research.—The conferees endorse Senate Report language regarding the Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, including $1,000,000 above the request to 

support six additional analysts for priority countries. 

Joint Action Plan.—The conference agreement includes sufficient funds for the Secretary of State to allocate the resources and 

experienced personnel necessary to staff and implement the United 

States-Brazil Joint Action Plan to Eliminate Racial and Ethnic Discrimination and Promote Equality (JAPER), as proposed by the 

House. 

Leahy Vetting.—The conference agreement does not include a 

Senate provision to transfer funds appropriated under the Foreign 

Military Financing Program (FMF) heading to the D&CP heading 

for the Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights 

and Labor to support monitoring of the uses of FMF assistance. 

However, the conferees direct that not less than $2,000,000 from 

funds made available under this heading be used for such purpose, 

and that the Secretary of State consult with the Committees on Appropriations prior to the obligation of these funds. 

Pakistan Operations.—The conference agreement provides $45,837,000 for diplomatic operations in Pakistan for fiscal year 

2010, which is the same as the request. The conferees understand 

that operational requirements in Pakistan may change and direct 

that any such change be subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations, including changes to 

the civilian staffing surge that are above the previously justified 

levels. 

The conferees direct the Secretary of State to submit to the 

Committees on Appropriations not later than 45 days after enactment of this Act and every 60 days thereafter through September 

30, 2010, a report detailing all United States Government personnel serving in Pakistan, including on a temporary duty basis. 

This report may be submitted in classified form, if necessary, and 

may be consolidated with the reporting requirement on civilian 

staffing levels in Afghanistan. 

Other Issues, Directives and Reporting Requirements 

American Corners.—The conferees support the mission of 

American Corners and Centers in making information about the 

United States readily available to the public in foreign countries 

through open and accessible places of learning. The conferees support relocating such Centers outside of New Embassy Compounds 

wherever feasible, consistent with appropriate security considerVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 01444 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

ations. The conferees support the timely relocation of the American 

Center in Rangoon, Burma. 

The conferees direct the Deputy Secretary for Management, in 

consultation with the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and 

Public Affairs, the Director of the Office of Overseas Building Operations and the Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, 

to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations, not later 

than 90 days after enactment of this Act, identifying possible Centers for relocation. The report should include security parameters, 

cost estimates, and proposed funding resources for such relocations. 

The conferees endorse the Senate Report requirement for an 

assessment of the security implications and public diplomacy gains 

of establishing United States public diplomacy facilities in locations 

that maximize their use, except that the assessment may be submitted in classified form, if necessary. 

International Child Abductions.—The conferees are concerned 

with custody cases involving American children in Jordan, Japan, 

Brazil, Lebanon, Syria, and other countries, and expect the governments of such countries to expeditiously enforce court orders related to such cases. The conference agreement does not include a 

provision proposed by the House related to international child abductions. Instead, the conferees direct the Secretary of State to provide periodic updates to the appropriate congressional committees 

on international child abductions, including information regarding 

international parental child abductions that are reported to the Office of Children’s Issues. The conferees expect the Department of 

State to maintain an electronic database in order to track international child abduction cases and facilitate the provision of timely 

information to interested members of the House and Senate, to the 

extent that the parent or guardian provides written authorization 

to do so. 

Overseas Schools.—The conferees commend the consolidated 

Overseas Schools Assistance Program for its work in improving 

educational standards for the children of American families living 

abroad, and the contributions of the Overseas Schools Advisory 

Council and its Program of Educational Assistance that helps bring 

quality educational services to American overseas schools. 

Report on Procurement and Acquisition.—On January 9, 2008, 

the Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs notified the Committees on Appropriations of the Department of State’s intent to fund 

the acquisition function of the Department on a ‘‘fee-for-service’’ 

basis through a one percent assessment on the appropriations accounts funding the acquisition. The conferees understand that the 

rationale for this change was to improve both the responsiveness 

and accountability of the acquisition/procurement process at the 

Department. The conferees direct the Undersecretary for Management to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations, not 

later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, which details the 

manner in which the ‘‘fee-for-service’’ plan was and is being used 

to improve the responsiveness and oversight of the Department’s 

procurement and acquisition processes. The conferees expect the report to include the number of direct-hire and contract personnel 

added in fiscal years 2008 and 2009, and the benefit of these perVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 01445 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

sonnel and funds in providing increased technical assistance and 

oversight to these activities. 

Report on Agreements for Transfer and Release of Detainees.— 

The conferees direct the Secretary of State to report in writing to 

the Committees on Appropriations when any agreement is concluded with any country that will receive, by transfer or release, 

any individual detained at Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. 

This requirement includes agreements with states with a compact 

of free association with the United States. The report shall be submitted not later than five days after the conclusion of such agreement. 

Secure Passports.—The conferees endorse House Report language on secure United States passports, and believe that the passport should provide the highest levels of resistance to counterfeiting, alteration and image substitution. The conferees further expect the Department of State to undertake a review of the current 

security materials used on the passport, particularly the data page, 

in order to strengthen its security. 

CIVILIAN STABILIZATION INITIATIVE

The conference agreement provides $120,000,000 under this 

heading for the Civilian Stabilization Initiative (CSI), which is 

$5,000,000 below the House and $30,000,000 below the Senate. In 

addition, $30,000,000 is provided under title II for the United 

States Agency for International Development (USAID) for the CSI, 

as proposed by the House, for a total of $150,000,000 to stand-up, 

equip and deploy a coordinated civilian response capacity. 

The conference agreement includes a provision, similar to that 

proposed by the Senate, withholding $10,000,000 from obligation 

until the Secretary of State reports to the Committees on Appropriations that the Department of State has signed a memorandum 

of understanding with the Department of Defense relating to the 

provision of airlift for deployment of Civilian Response Corps (CRC) 

Standby and Active personnel and equipment. 

The conference agreement does not include bill language limiting to $5,000,000 the amount made available for procurement of 

armored vehicles, as proposed by the Senate. However, the conferees agree with this limitation and direct that not more than 

$5,000,000 of the funds made available under this heading be used 

for such purpose. 

The conference agreement does not include a provision prohibiting the use of funds to establish a Reserve component of the CRC. 

However, the conferees direct that no funds be made available for 

this purpose. The conference agreement requires the submission of 

a joint spending plan, coordinated with USAID, for funds made 

available under this heading and the CSI heading in title II not 

later than 45 days after enactment of this Act, as proposed by the 

House and Senate. The conferees also endorse House Report language requiring notification to the Committees on Appropriations 

within 15 days of any deployment of a CRC Active and/or Standby 

unit, to include the destination, size, composition, and expected duration of deployment of such unit.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND

The conference agreement provides $139,000,000 for the Cap- ital Investment Fund, which is $4,300,000 above the House and 

$21,000,000 below the Senate. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement provides $100,000,000 for the Office of Inspector General (OIG), which is $8,000,000 below the House 

and the same as the Senate, of which $23,000,000 is for the Special 

Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR), and $23,000,000 

is for the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction 

(SIGAR) for reconstruction oversight, as proposed by the Senate. 

In addition to the amount made available under this heading, $2,000,000 is transferred to this account from funds made available 

under the ESF heading to augment funds made available to the 

OIG for oversight of assistance activities in Pakistan, which brings 

the total available in this Act for the OIG to $56,000,000. 

Within the total amount made available to the OIG in fiscal 

year 2010, the conferees understand that the current program plan 

includes $20,100,000 for the OIG’s oversight of programs and investigations of fraud, waste, and abuse in the Middle East and South 

Asia, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, and to establish 

an OIG satellite office in Islamabad and support the regional office 

in Amman and the existing satellite offices in Baghdad, Cairo, and 

Kabul. The conferees further understand that future events may 

require the modification of this plan and that such modifications 

are subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees 

on Appropriations. 

The Inspectors General of the Department of State, USAID, 

SIGIR, and SIGAR each have independent oversight and investigative responsibilities in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Inspectors General should, to the maximum extent practicable, coordinate, and deconflict all activities related to oversight and investigation of assistance programs for the reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan to

sarily duplicative. The Inspectors General of the Department of 

State and USAID are directed to consult with the Committees on 

Appropriations on the joint oversight plan in Afghanistan. 

The conferees understand that SIGIR will use a portion of the 

funds made available in fiscal years 2009 and 2010 to make shortterm appointments of experienced, career prosecutors and detail 

them to the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, where 

they will work on cases that fall within SIGIR’s jurisdiction. The 

conferees strongly support efforts by SIGIR and the Department of 

Justice to investigate and prosecute cases of fraud and criminal activity associated with assistance programs in Iraq. 

The conferees do not intend for the SIGAR to utilize funds 

made available under this heading in this or prior Acts to conduct 

training or other development programs for Afghan ministries.

monitor such exchanges.

The conference agreement provides $30,474,000 for Radio and TV Marti, of which not more than $5,500,000 may be made available for non-salary and benefits expenses for TV Marti. The BBG 

shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations within 90 days 

of enactment of this Act a multi-year strategic plan for broadcasting to Cuba that reflects the following: (1) an analysis of the 

current situation in Cuba and an allocation of resources that is 

consistent with the relative priority of broadcasting to Cuba as determined by the annual Language Service Review and other factors, including input from the Secretary of State on the relative 

United States interest of broadcasting to Cuba; (2) the estimated 

size of the audiences in Cuba for Radio and TV Marti, and the 

sources and relative reliability of the data on which such estimates 

are based; (3) the annual operating cost (and total cost over the life 

of the contract) of—any and all—types of TV transmission and the 

effectiveness of each in increasing such audience size; (4) the principal obstacles to increasing such audience size; (5) an analysis of 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1451 

other options for disseminating news and information to Cuba including DVDs, the Internet, and cell phones and other handheld 

electronic devices and a report on the cost effectiveness of each; 

and (6) an analysis of the program efficiencies and effectiveness 

that can be achieved through shared resources and cost saving opportunities in radio and television production between Radio and 

TV Marti and the Voice of America. Within 90 days of the submission of the strategic plan outlined above, the Comptroller General 

of the General Accountability Office (GAO) shall conduct an assessment of the strategic plan and submit to the Committees on Appropriations its analysis of the data on which the plan is based and 

the plan’s recommendations. 

The conferees endorse language in the House Report regarding 

the maintenance of VOA language services supported in fiscal year 

2009, funding for VOA English, and the rejection of proposals to 

end certain VOA language broadcasts and programs.

broadcasts at the fiscal year 2009 surge levels. 

The conferees concur with the program emphases placed in the 

House and Senate Reports on Radio Farda, including transmission 

and Internet enhancements to reach audiences in Iran, and Radio 

Free Iraq. The conferees endorse the funding priority in the Senate 

Report concerning Pashto and Dari broadcasts targeted toward Afghanistan and northwest Pakistan. 

The conferees note the GAO recommends that as the Administration develops a new comprehensive communication strategy, 

Federal agencies, including the BBG, should identify and link key 

agency-level programs, goals, and performance measurements to 

the strategy. The conferees direct that not later than 60 days after 

the new strategy is issued, the BBG report to the Committees on 

Appropriations on the linkages between the BBG’s strategic plan 

and performance measurement system and the new strategy; 

BBG’s participation in inter-agency activities related to the implementation of the strategy; and which national communication goals 

the BBG believes it can support under its mandate and strategic 

plan and those goals the BBG considers inconsistent and therefore 

cannot support. 

The conference agreement includes a provision requiring the 

BBG to report to the Committees on Appropriations within 45 days 

after enactment of this Act on several matters relating to management and editorial controls and to adherence to the relevant journalistic code of ethics, which is similar to that proposed by the 

House in section 7006. The conference agreement also requires the 

BBG to notify the Committees on Appropriations within 15 days of 

any determination by the Board that any of its broadcast entities 

was found to be in violation of the aforementioned principles, 

standards, or journalistic code of ethics, as proposed by the House. 

The conference agreement also includes a provision, section 

7071(f)(2), that provides up to $8,000,000 to maintain VOA and

UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL 

DEVELOPMENT 

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

OPERATING EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement provides $1,388,800,000 for Operating Expenses, which is the same as the House and Senate. 

The conference agreement provides funding to support the hiring of an estimated 300 additional USAID Foreign Service Officers 

under the Development Leadership Initiative (DLI). The conference 

agreement includes a provision requiring the USAID Administrator 

to submit a strategy for projected personnel requirements over the 

next three fiscal years, similar to that proposed by the Senate. This 

strategy should describe the resources required for hiring, training, 

and deploying new personnel to domestic and overseas positions, 

including resources necessary for office and housing facilities. Concurrent with the submission of this strategy, the USAID Administrator is directed to submit a report describing the hiring, training, 

and deploying of new staff since the DLI began in fiscal year 2008, 

including resources expended for such purposes to date. This report 

should be updated on a semi-annual basis. The conferees intend 

that one of the outcomes of the personnel expansion at USAID will 

be increased oversight of programs and activities. 

The conferees are aware of concerns with civilian capacity necessary to effectively administer programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan and have provided funds in this Act and prior Acts to support 

a civilian surge. The conferees direct the USAID Administrator to 

provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations on a semiannual basis that describes the USAID workforce in both countries, 

including geographical distribution, skill sets, and training, as well 

as the physical space and capacity to absorb additional personnel. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1455 

The conferees believe that USAID’s increased reliance on sole 

source contract awards, indefinite quantity contracts, and large 

umbrella awards undermines competitive processes, inhibits the 

participation of small organizations with niche expertise, limits creative and innovative approaches to programming, and is neither 

cost effective nor consistent with sustainable development. The conferees endorse the notification requirements in the House Report 

and the reporting requirement in the Senate Report, and require 

the USAID Administrator to consult with the Committees on Appropriations on steps that will be taken to reduce reliance on these 

mechanisms in the future and increase support for building capacity of local organizations and institutions, including the training 

that will be provided to new personnel hired under the DLI. 

The conferees endorse the small minority-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises reporting requirement, as proposed in 

the House Report. 

The conference agreement provides up to $1,000,000 for special 

compensation for LES in section 7059(n), as proposed by the Senate, and requires the USAID Administrator to consult with the 

Committees on Appropriations on proposed guidelines for special 

compensation of these employees. 

Implementation of USAID’s Partner Vetting System is addressed in section 7034(o) of this Act. 

CIVILIAN STABILIZATION INITIATIVE

The conference agreement provides a total of $150,000,000 to 

continue to stand up a capacity for the Department of State, 

USAID, and other relevant civilian agencies to respond to post-conflict stabilization and reconstruction challenges, which is 

$5,000,000 below the House and the same as the Senate. Within 

the amounts provided in this Act, $30,000,000 is included under 

this heading, as proposed by the House, and $120,000,000 is included under a similar heading in title I for this purpose. 

Funds provided under this heading are intended to support 

costs associated with implementation of the Civilian Deployment 

Center; operational costs of the Office of Civilian Response; relevant USAID personnel salaries, expenses and training; and some 

deployment costs. The conferees direct that none of the funds provided under this heading may be used to establish a Reserve Corps 

component of the Civilian Response Corps. USAID and the Department of State shall jointly consult with the Committees on Appropriations prior to the obligation of funds made available under this 

heading. 

The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 

House requiring the USAID Administrator and the Secretary of 

State to submit a coordinated joint spending plan for funds available under this heading and the CSI heading in title I. 

CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND

The conference agreement provides $185,000,000 for Capital 

Investment Fund, which is the same as the House and $28,000,000 

below the Senate, of which up to $134,500,000 is provided for implementation of the Capital Security Cost-Sharing Program. The 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1456 

conferees endorse the reporting requirement, as proposed in the 

House Report. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement provides $46,500,000 for the Office 

of Inspector General, which is the same as the House and Senate. 

The conferees continue to believe that programs funded through 

emergency appropriations should be regularized into the annual 

budget process. 

The conferees direct the USAID Inspector General to continue 

to expand oversight activities of United States Government assistance programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The conferees understand that by the end of fiscal year 2010, the USAID Inspector 

General will have a fully staffed office in Islamabad that will consist of seven auditors, two investigators, and five Foreign Service 

National auditors/investigators, and a fully staffed office in Kabul 

that will consist of three auditors and two investigators. The Office 

of Inspector General is directed to ensure that efforts are de-conflicted from the oversight plans of other agencies and to consult 

with the Committees on Appropriations on the joint oversight plan 

in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In addition, the Office of Inspector 

General is directed to inform the Committees on Appropriations if 

gaps in oversight are identified. 

The conferees endorse House Report language directing the Office of Inspector General to consult with the Committees on Appropriations on a regular and on-going basis.

*Funding in italics denotes a non-add and is not in addition to the subcategory total. 

The conference agreement includes language that allows funding provided under this heading to be used for programs to address 

neglected tropical diseases, as proposed by the Senate; language on 

the determination related to organizations that have been found to 

support or participate in the management of a program of coercive 

abortion, as proposed by the Senate; and language on the procurement of condoms, similar to that proposed by the House. 

The conferees endorse the reporting requirement on global 

health program effectiveness, similar to that proposed by the 

House. The report should include an analysis of key global health 

challenges, a review of the interventions that have been found to 

have the greatest impact in addressing these challenges, and opportunities for the United States to increase support for these 

interventions in order to significantly reduce mortality and morbidity. The report should pay special attention to those issues that 

have not received adequate support in the past, including maternal 

health which is directly related to child survival; the role that the 

United States could play in promoting best practices; and the role 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1458 

of other donor countries in expanding access to these critical interventions. The conferees direct the Secretary of State to consult with 

the Committees on Appropriations prior to, and during, the development of this report. 

The conferees endorse the HIV/AIDS prevention reporting requirement, as proposed by the House, which should include a description of HIV/AIDS prevention interventions that could be components of a United States global HIV/AIDS strategy and their effectiveness; an analysis of how these interventions should be implemented in order to address key drivers of the epidemic; the goals 

of the United States prevention strategy and how progress toward 

these goals will be measured; and a review of how the United 

States will collaborate with other bilateral and multilateral donors 

to reduce duplication. This report should include country-by-country prevention interventions and goals to ensure that unique conditions on the ground are taken into account. 

The conferees direct OGAC to include, in future quarterly 

Summary Financial Status Reports of the global AIDS program, 

data on outlays as a percentage of the total amount of appropriated 

funds available for each country and Federal agency. Third quarter 

reports shall include a brief explanation of the factors contributing 

to countries falling behind target obligation and outlay rates. 

The conferees are aware of the fiscal year 2010 Coordinated 

Audit Plan for global AIDS programs that has been developed by 

the relevant Inspectors General and are concerned that the Office 

of Inspector General at the Department of Health and Human 

Services does not plan to audit global AIDS funds transferred to 

the agency in the coming year. The OGAC Director is to report to 

the Committees on Appropriations on steps taken by OGAC to ensure that all program funds, including funds transferred to other 

agencies, are audited on a regular basis. The conferees provide $750,000,000 for the Global Fund to 

Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in this Act. The conferees 

remain committed to supporting a performance-based, results-oriented, multilateral financing instrument to combat these diseases. 

The conferees support efforts by the ‘‘Working Group to Manage 

the Tension between Demand and Supply in a Resource Constrained Environment’’ to ensure that Global Fund resources are 

used efficiently and effectively. The Committees on Appropriations 

expect to be updated by OGAC on further efforts of this group. The 

conferees endorse the Global Fund reporting requirement, as proposed by the House. 

The conferees endorse the research and development reporting 

requirement, as proposed by the Senate, which should include a 

discussion of microbicides research and development and opportunities for expanded research and development related to child immunizations. 

The conference agreement includes $106,000,000 for pandemic 

preparedness and response activities to support H1N1 influenza 

and avian influenza surveillance, immunization delivery, and treatment programs internationally. The conferees note that the budget 

request did not include specific funding to address the H1N1 influenza outbreak and continue to support the transfer authority provided in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1459 

111–32) to combat an H1N1 influenza pandemic, if the President 

determines that the human-to-human transmission of the virus is 

virulent, efficient and sustained, severe, spreading internationally 

to multiple regions, and has been designated by the World Health 

Organization to be at the highest phase of Global Influenza Pandemic Alert. The conferees also continue to support the use of 

funds provided in title VIII of the Supplemental Appropriations 

Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–32) to support USAID’s international response to H1N1 influenza. 

The conferees support the use of family planning/reproductive 

health funds for programs in areas where population growth exacerbates human vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, as 

proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement does not include a provision proposed by the House and Senate regarding funds to monitor and 

provide oversight of certain global health programs. However, the 

conferees direct that not to exceed $400,000, in addition to funds 

otherwise available for such purposes, may be used to monitor and 

provide oversight of child survival, maternal and family planning/ 

reproductive health, and infectious disease programs. 

DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE

The conference agreement provides $2,520,000,000 for Develop- ment Assistance (DA), which is $30,000,000 above the House and 

$47,000,000 below the Senate. 

The conference agreement does not include language concerning the availability of funds related to water and microenterprise/microfinance programs, as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement includes language requiring the relevant USAID 

bureaus and offices that support cross-cutting development programs, including but not limited to water, food security, and democracy and governance, to coordinate such programs on a regular 

basis, similar to that proposed by the Senate. 

Agriculture and Food Security 

The conference agreement provides a total of $1,169,833,000 

for agricultural development and food security programs, of which 

$31,500,000 is for Collaborative Research Support Programs. 

The conference agreement includes a provision requiring the 

Secretary of State, in consultation with the USAID Administrator, 

to submit a strategy for achieving food security and agricultural development program goals, as proposed by the House and Senate. 

The conferees expect this strategy to take into account the technical capacities and capabilities of other United States Government 

agencies. However, the conferees intend that the agencies funded 

in this Act should serve as the primary conduits for programmatic 

implementation. In cases where funding is transferred to other 

agencies, the conferees direct the Department of State to ensure 

that these funds are properly audited as directed in section 7009(e) 

of this Act and that oversight of these programs is conducted in a 

manner consistent with Department of State and USAID requirements. 

The conference agreement does not include language authorizing the use of funds under this heading for local and regional 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1460 

purchase, as proposed by the Senate. Local and regional purchase 

is addressed under the International Disaster Assistance heading. 

The conferees provide not less than $30,000,000 for dairy development and livestock programs, as proposed by the House. 

The conference agreement provides not less than $35,000,000 

for agricultural research programs, including plant and biotechnology. 

The conference agreement provides $10,000,000 as a United 

States contribution to the endowment of the Global Crop Diversity 

Trust. 

The conference agreement provides funding for a multilateral 

food security initiative. The Committees on Appropriations shall be 

consulted on the proposed uses prior to the obligation of these 

funds. 

The conference agreement includes language related to the exercise of notwithstanding authority, as proposed by the Senate, and 

the Secretary of State is directed to provide the Committees on Appropriations a written justification within five days when such authority is used. 

Economic Development 

Cooperative Development Program.—The conference agreement 

provides $10,000,000 for this program within USAID’s Office of Private and Voluntary Cooperation, as proposed by the Senate. 

Gender Integration.—The conferees endorse the reporting requirement proposed in the House Report related to the integration 

of gender considerations into agriculture and economic development programs. 

Microfinance and Microenterprise Programs.—The conferees 

note that while USAID has increased its microenterprise activities 

in Africa in recent years, there has been relatively small investment in microfinance in Africa. The conferees direct the USAID 

Administrator to consult with the Committees on Appropriations 

on a strategy to increase funding for this purpose. The conferees 

further direct that up to 25 percent of funding be made available 

to build the institutional and human capacity of microfinance institutions. 

The conferees direct that at least 50 percent of funds provided 

for microfinance and microenterprise programs be for grants and 

cooperative agreements to not-for-profit networks, practitioner institutions, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and direct 

that USAID’s Office of Microenterprise Development, in consultation with the Committees on Appropriations, develop a strategy to 

meet this mandate. This strategy shall be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 90 days after enactment 

of this Act, and shall include a description of USAID’s strategy to 

increase outreach to women, and the poor and very poor who are 

currently without access to financial services. 

Oversight.—The conference agreement does not include a provision regarding funds to monitor certain programs for children 

and victims of war, as proposed by the House and Senate. However, the conferees direct that not to exceed $60,000, in addition to 

funds otherwise available for such purposes, may be used to monVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 01464 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

itor and provide oversight of programs for displaced and orphaned 

children and victims of war. 

Reporting Requirements.—The conferees endorse the reporting 

requirements on program review and impact evaluation processes, 

as proposed by the Senate, except that such report should be provided to the relevant appropriations and foreign affairs committees 

of the House and Senate. 

The conferees endorse the small and medium enterprises reporting requirement, as proposed by the Senate. 

The contracting reporting requirement proposed by the Senate 

is addressed under the USAID Operating Expenses heading. 

Safe Water.—The conference agreement provides not less than $315,000,000 for water and sanitation supply projects pursuant to 

the Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act of 2005 (Public Law 

109–121), including safe water for communities harmed by oil contamination in the northeastern region of Ecuador. The conferees 

endorse language in the House and Senate Reports on safe water 

and water management programs. 

Trade Capacity Building.—The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for trade capacity building programs related to the 

Central America Free Trade Agreement, and $16,000,000 for

building and for implementation of the environmental chapter of 

such agreement, similar to that proposed by the House. 

University Programs.—The conferees direct the USAID Administrator to submit the report on the status of activities undertaken 

with American institutions of higher education, as proposed in the 

House Report.

needs of victims of torture. 

Women’s Leadership Training.—The conference agreement pro- vides $20,000,000 for women’s leadership capacity building programs, as proposed by the House. 

Education 

Basic Education.—The conference agreement provides a total 

of $925,000,000 for basic education programs in this Act, of which 

$365,000,000 is provided under this heading. The conferees are 

concerned with the availability of education for children who are 

refugees or internally displaced, and encourage USAID to use a 

portion of basic education funds for programs in such settings. The 

conferees intend that schools supported with basic education funds 

appropriated in this Act should, when practicable, serve as ‘‘Communities of Learning’’ and should be a focal point for development 

programs, as proposed by the House. USAID shall ensure that pilot 

programs implemented pursuant to section 664 of division J of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110–161) include ‘‘Communities of Learning’’ in the five year strategic plans, 

where appropriate. 

Higher Education.—The conference agreement provides not 

less than $200,000,000 for higher education programs in this Act, 

of which not less than $25,000,000 shall be for such programs in 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1462 

Africa, as proposed by the Senate. The conferees believe that higher education partnerships between American and African institutions of higher education should be expanded and $15,000,000 is 

provided for this purpose, as proposed by the Senate, which shall 

be awarded in an open and competitive process in accordance with 

all applicable rules and regulations. 

Climate Change and Environment 

Biodiversity.—The conference agreement includes a total of $205,000,000 in title III of this Act for biodiversity programs, particularly to protect forests, wildlife, and water ecosystems. Of this 

amount, not less than $25,000,000 is for USAID’s conservation programs in the Amazon Basin, of which $15,000,000 is for the Initiative for Conservation in the Andean Amazon and $10,000,000 is for 

such activities in Brazil. In addition, $20,500,000 is for the Congo 

Basin Forest Partnership; $7,500,000 is for the Coral Triangle Initiative; $5,000,000 is for international programs of the United 

States Fish and Wildlife Service, particularly in central Africa; 

$2,000,000 is for the Department of State’s Bureau of Oceans and 

International Environmental and Scientific Affairs and USAID to 

support inter-agency outreach and capacity building programs and 

activities in developing countries related to implementation and enforcement of section 8204 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy 

Act, 2008 (Public Law 110–246); and $1,000,000 is for conservation 

and related programs of the Department of Interior in the Maya 

Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala. The conferees direct USAID to 

consult with the Committees on Appropriations on a multi-year 

strategy for forest and archeological conservation in the Peten region of Guatemala. The conferees endorse language in the Senate 

Report on the protection of orangutan habitat in Borneo and Sumatra, and support wildlife conservation in Southern Sudan and 

Niger. In addition, the conferees recommend that USAID work 

with the United States National Park Service and the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to protect forests, wildlife, and water ecosystems in developing countries. The conferees 

direct the agencies administering these funds to consult with the 

Committees on Appropriations prior to the obligation of funds. 

Climate Change.—The conference agreement includes a total of 

$1,257,200,000 for climate change programs in this Act, of which 

$108,500,000 is for clean energy, $74,450,000 is for sustainable 

landscapes, and $122,750,000 is for adaptation programs. 

The conferees intend that funds for clean energy programs will 

be used only to support programs that promote the sustainable use 

of renewable energy technologies and energy efficient end-use technologies, carbon sequestration, and carbon accounting. The primary 

objective of these programs should be to reduce, mitigate, and/or 

sequester emissions of greenhouse gases. The conferees direct that 

no funds shall be utilized for any nuclear, coal or other fossil fuel 

technology or production. The conferees intend that USAID’s programs should complement the efforts undertaken by the Department of State’s Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental 

and Scientific Affairs as well as programs implemented through the 

Clean Technology Fund (CTF), the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF), 

and the Global Environment Facility. 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1463 

The conferees urge USAID to expand support in rural communities for small scale solar and other renewable energy technologies, which provide clean, healthier and more economically sustainable sources of energy than fossil fuels and help reduce migration to overpopulated urban areas. 

The conferees intend that funds for sustainable landscapes programs will be used to support activities to maximize climate 

change mitigation, including carbon removals and avoided emissions, through efforts to protect and preserve landscapes and ecosystems. These efforts should include programs that preserve tropical forests, abandoned lands, and other endangered landscapes. In 

addition, programs to build institutional capacity to measure and 

monitor greenhouse gas emissions and removal, and policy reforms 

including land tenure, should be supported. These programs should 

not duplicate similar efforts currently implemented through 

USAID’s biodiversity programs. 

The conferees intend that a significant portion of funding provided for sustainable landscapes programs should be used to expand activities that reduce emissions from tropical forest destruction and degradation (commonly called REDD) in order to avoid the 

worst effects of global climate change. USAID should increase support for programs that assist developing countries in building their 

institutional and governance capacity to manage forest resources in 

a manner that demonstrates measurable, reportable and verifiable 

emissions reductions; develops strong forest governance laws; and 

improves law enforcement against illegal logging. These programs 

should be transparent and should respect the rights of indigenous 

and forest-dependent people, who should be consulted and included 

in the design and implementation of programs. The Department of 

State and USAID are directed to consult jointly with the Committees on Appropriations not later than 90 days after enactment of 

this Act on the United States Government strategy related to 

REDD and the capacity of developing countries to implement these 

programs. 

The conferees intend that adaptation program funds will be 

used to ensure that on-going programs and projects are designed 

to be as resilient as possible to climate variability and change. This 

funding should be used to ensure that climate change factors are 

taken into account during program assessment and design and that 

any program modifications are included in final implementation.

announcement and posting of results at the polling stations; the 

freedom of movement and assembly and a process free of intimidation; freedom of the media; and the security and protection of candidates. The conferees direct the Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 90 days

tifying Vietnamese persons missing since 1975, as proposed by the 

Senate. 

Yemen.—The conference agreement provides $35,000,000 for

INTERNATIONAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE

The conference agreement provides $845,000,000 for International Disaster Assistance, which is $15,000,000 above the House 

and $10,000,000 below the Senate. 

The conference agreement neither designates, nor assumes, a 

specific amount for food assistance from funds made available 

under this heading, as proposed by the House. However, the conferees understand that, as in previous years, a significant portion 

of the funds made available under this heading will support food 

assistance in fiscal year 2010 and will be in addition to the 

$1,169,833,000 designated in this Act for food security and agricultural development. 

The conferees endorse the reporting requirement on local and 

regional procurement of food assistance contained in the House Report, except the submission date shall be September 30, 2010. 

TRANSITION INITIATIVES

The conference agreement provides $55,000,000 for Transition 

Initiatives, which is $45,000,000 below the House and $10,000,000 

below the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes a provision which allows 

for the transfer of up to $15,000,000 to this account upon a determination by the Secretary of State, as proposed by the Senate. The 

conference agreement does not include authority for a new Rapid 

Response Fund under this heading, as proposed by the House. 

COMPLEX CRISES FUND

The conference agreement provides $50,000,000 for the Complex Crises Fund (CCF), which is $50,000,000 above the House and 

$50,000,000 below the Senate. This new account provides greater 

flexibility to USAID to prevent or respond to emerging or unforeseen complex crises overseas, and is similar to the Emergency Crises Fund account proposed by the Senate. The CCF consolidates 

the budget requests for a Rapid Response Fund and a Stabilization 

Bridge Fund to provide greater efficiency and oversight by the Administration and the Congress of these activities. 

For the purposes of this account, a ‘‘complex crisis’’ shall mean 

a disaster or emergency, usually of long-term duration, that includes a combination of humanitarian, political and security dimensions which hinders the provision of external assistance. 

USAID and the Department of State should continue to establish and bolster crisis prevention and response capabilities in order 

to assume most, if not all, of the functions currently funded by the 

Department of Defense under section 1207 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Public Law 109–163). 

USAID and the Departments of State and Defense shall continue 

to consult on the formulation and implementation of stabilization

* Funding in italics denotes a non-add and is not in addition to the subcategory or country total. 

Africa 

Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).—The conferees continue to be concerned with the health and safety of women and 

girls in the DRC, and the alarming incidence of rape and other 

gender-based violence in that country. The conferees direct that not 

less than $10,000,000 of the funds in this Act for assistance for the 

DRC be made available to address gender-based violence, including 

for fistula repair and other assistance for victims, and training and 

support for health and law enforcement personnel. The conferees 

direct the Department of State, in consultation with USAID, to provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations that outlines a 

comprehensive strategy and budget to address gender-based violence in the DRC. The report should describe how United States 

Government efforts fit into multi-donor and host government strategies to address this issue. The Department shall consult with the 

Committees on Appropriations prior to developing the strategy. The 

conferees endorse the reporting requirements on the exploitation of 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1468 

mineral resources, as proposed in the Senate Report, to include 

identifying the governments and companies that are involved in or 

profiting from such exploitation. 

Sudan.—The conferees direct the Department of State, in consultation with USAID, to prioritize programs in Southern Sudan 

that implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, including 

support for local governance, judicial strengthening and rule of law, 

law enforcement professionalism and commitment to human rights, 

anti-corruption, and community level reintegration programs. 

The conferees are concerned with reports of corruption within 

the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS), and the conference 

agreement includes a provision, similar to that proposed by the 

Senate, requiring the Secretary of State, in determining amounts 

and types of assistance to provide to the GoSS, to consider whether 

such government is conducting regular audits of its financial accounts to ensure transparency and accountability of funds, including revenues from the extraction of oil, gas, and other natural resources, and is making such audits publicly available in a timely 

manner. The conferees believe such audits are necessary to prevent 

the misuse of funds, including United States assistance. 

The conferees direct the Department of State, in consultation 

with USAID, to provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, on the 

steps that will be taken by the GoSS to improve resource management and increase transparency and accountability of funds, including efforts by the United States Government to support this 

goal. 

The conferees endorse the reporting requirement on Sudan and 

the People’s Republic of China, as proposed in the House Report. 

Asia 

Burma.—The conferees recognize that the failure of governance in Burma has resulted in severe humanitarian needs throughout the country that are further exacerbated by violations of internationally recognized human rights committed with impunity by 

the ruling junta. The conference agreement includes language, 

similar to that proposed by the House and Senate, and provides 

$36,500,000 for activities to address these needs, including incomegenerating activities, and to support ongoing democracy and humanitarian programs along the Burma-Thailand border. The Department of State is to consult on the uses of these funds, which 

are subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees 

on Appropriations. The conference agreement also requires that 

funds be used in a manner that is consistent with the principles 

and goals of the National League for Democracy in Burma. 

Cambodia.—The conferees intend that assistance should be increased for Cambodian NGOs involved in the promotion and protection of human rights, democracy and the rule of law, including core 

funding. The conferees direct the Secretary of State to fulfill the reporting requirement contained in the first proviso of section 

7071(c)(1) of the Senate bill. The conference agreement includes 

language regarding a United States contribution to the Khmer 

Rouge Tribunal, as proposed by the Senate.

1469 

North Korea.—The conference agreement provides $3,500,000 

to promote democracy and human rights, as authorized by the 

North Korea Human Rights Act of 2004 (Public Law 108–333), as 

amended. Such programs may include appropriate educational and 

cultural exchange programs with North Korean participants, to the 

extent not otherwise prohibited by law. 

In addition, the conference agreement provides that assistance 

for countries in the North Asia region may be made available for 

similar activities relating to North Korea, subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations. The conferees note the importance of regional neighbors in encouraging reform in North Korea, and funds should be used to support their 

participation in furthering such change. 

The conference agreement includes language in section 

7071(f)(4) similar to that proposed by the House and Senate regarding restrictions on assistance for North Korea. 

The conference agreement includes language in section 

7071(f)(6) regarding the unsupervised distribution of food assistance, similar to that proposed by the Senate. 

Philippines.—The conferees endorse Senate Report language 

on the use of funds appropriated under this heading to support conflict resolution activities in Mindanao, and to expand judicial training programs. 

Thailand.—The conference agreement provides $2,500,000 for 

conflict resolution and development programs in southern Thailand, as proposed by the Senate. 

Tibet.—The conference agreement provides $7,400,000 for programs implemented by NGOs which preserve cultural traditions 

and promote economic development and environmental conservation in the Tibetan Autonomous Region and other Tibetan communities, which is similar to that proposed by the House and Senate. 

Timor-Leste.—The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 

for assistance for Timor-Leste, of which $1,000,000 is for democracy 

programs and $2,000,000 is for higher education scholarships, 

which is similar to that proposed by the Senate. 

Vietnam.—The conference agreement provides not less than 

$3,000,000 for environmental remediation of dioxin contaminated 

sites and related health activities in Vietnam, including through 

Vietnamese institutions and organizations. The conferees direct the 

USAID Administrator to consult with the Committees on Appropriations prior to the obligation of funds for these purposes. 

Europe and Eurasia 

Cyprus.—The conferees endorse the language in the House and 

Senate Reports regarding assistance for Cyprus. 

Near East 

Egypt.—The conferees direct that within the amount provided 

for project assistance for Egypt, not less than $25,000,000 shall be 

made available for democracy, governance, and human rights programs and not less than $35,000,000 shall be for education programs, of which $10,000,000 is for scholarships for Egyptian students with high financial need, including at American educational 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1470 

institutions and other institutions that promote tolerance, gender 

and social equality, and critical thinking. The requirements of section 7034(m)(4) of this Act shall apply with respect to the provision 

of assistance to Egyptian NGOs. The conferees provide authority 

under section 7042(a)(2) of this Act to use funds under this heading 

to establish an endowment to further the mutual interests of the 

United States and Egypt. 

The conferees endorse the recommendations of the USAID Inspector General in Audit Report Number 6–263–10–001–P regarding democracy programs and activities in Egypt. 

Iraq.—The conferees endorse the budget request of $10,000,000 

for the Iraqi women’s democracy initiative, including for efforts to 

build professional networks between female business, government, 

and civil society leaders in Iraq with counterparts in countries in 

the region. 

The conference agreement provides that not less than $5,000,000 should be made available for the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi 

War Victims Fund. The conferees direct USAID to work with the 

Government of Iraq and Iraqi NGOs to develop a plan for ongoing 

Iraqi management and financial support of this program to assist 

innocent Iraqi victims of conflict after United States forces withdraw. A portion of these funds may be used for the development 

of and preparatory steps to implement such plan. 

The conference agreement continues prior year limitations on 

the use of funds in Iraq, including for permanent basing rights 

agreements between the United States and Iraq. The conference agreement provides $50,000,000 for USAID’s 

Ministerial Capacity Development program, and the conferees believe that the Government of Iraq should assume full responsibility 

for support for such training and development programs in the future.

except that such report shall be submitted to the relevant congressional committees. 

The conferees recognize the necessity of inter-agency, predeployment training, in-country training, and data collection and 

analysis in strengthening stability programs and activities in Afghanistan. The conferees direct that funds be made available to the 

Tactical Conflict Assessment and Planning Framework program 

within USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives and the Office of 

Military Affairs at USAID for such purposes. 

The conference agreement includes a provision under section 

7076(d) that is similar to language proposed by the House under

social well-being, and political status of Afghan women and girls. 

Of the funds made available in this Act for assistance for Afghanistan, not less than $175,000,000 shall support programs that directly address the needs and protect the rights of Afghan women 

and girls, including the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, the Afghan Ministry of Women’s Affairs, and women-led

building for Afghan women-led NGOs, and not less than

of access to justice or safe houses for victims. Not less than 

$15,000,000 shall be used to train and support Afghan women investigators, police officers, prosecutors, judges, and social workers 

to respond to crimes of violence against women and girls, and administration of justice programs should include a focus on the special needs of women and girls.

participation of women in the political process at the national, provincial and sub-provincial levels; improve security for women and 

girls; and any other programs designed to directly benefit women

Pakistan.—The conferees support the program review conducted by the Department of State and USAID in Pakistan in order 

to ensure that the programs and activities funded are meeting programmatic objectives and furthering shared United States and 

Pakistani security interests. The results of this review should be 

provided to the Committees on Appropriations. The conferees are 

aware of the significant infrastructure needs in Pakistan, including 

in the energy and aviation sectors. However, the conferees are concerned with embarking on large-scale, multi-year infrastructure 

projects in Pakistan and believe such work should be undertaken 

in coordination with other donors and through multilateral financing mechanisms to the maximum extent possible, factoring in security and sustainability considerations. The conferees direct the Secretary of State to consult with the Committees on Appropriations 

prior to committing to such projects. The conferees provide not less 

than $5,000,000 to continue a Civilian Assistance Program similar 

to such programs in Iraq and Afghanistan, and USAID is directed 

to consult with the Committees on Appropriations on the planned 

uses of such funds prior to the obligation of funds. The conference 

agreement provides that $2,000,000 of the funds for Pakistan

of State for program oversight in Pakistan. 

The conferees endorse House and Senate Report language regarding programs and activities to counter the influence of violent 

extremism through local initiatives, including within madrassas. 

Government-to-Government Assistance.—The conference agreement requires that a bilateral agreement be in place prior to the 

provision of government-to-government assistance for the Governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Such an agreement should be 

structured to provide maximum accountability and oversight, and 

should contain conditions for disbursement of funds and detailed 

monitoring and reporting requirements. Funds should be deposited 

in and disbursed through a separate, traceable bank account for 

specific sectors. The Secretary of State is directed to consult with 

the Committees on Appropriations prior to the provision of any 

such assistance, including on the amounts, uses and oversight of 

such funds as well as on the terms of the bilateral agreement. The 

Secretary should suspend any government-to-government assistance to any implementing agency if there is credible evidence of 

misuse of such funds by such agency. The conferees encourage the 

Department of State to ensure that such assistance benefits Afghans and Pakistanis at the provincial and sub-provincial levels 

through mechanisms established with appropriate ministries, and 

with the concurrence of legitimate political leadership at the local 

level, including governors.

Iran. Of this amount, $20,000,000 shall be made available under 

this heading, of which $10,000,000 shall be derived from the Near 

East Regional Democracy program. An additional $10,000,000 shall

However, the conferees note that according to the Department of

The conference agreement includes a new provision directing 

that $35,000,000 of the funds made available under this heading 

be reserved for responding to small-scale emergency humanitarian 

requirements of international and nongovernmental partners. The 

conferees agree that this reserve may be used to cover the breadth 

of migration and refugee activities and that any use of such funds 

is subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees 

on Appropriations. 

The conferees endorse the reporting requirement in the Senate 

Report regarding North Korean refugees. 

The conferees recognize the work of the United Nations Relief 

and Works Agency (UNRWA) in assisting Palestinians and promoting tolerance in the West Bank and Gaza, including through

exception to this requirement when the situation presents a substantial security risk to volunteers or Peace Corps personnel and 

prior consultation or notification would delay actions necessary to 

safeguard personnel. Pursuant to section 7015(e) of this Act, the 

conferees intend that the Peace Corps shall notify the Committees 

as early as practicable, but no later than three days after taking 

action, whenever substantial risk to human health or welfare requires a waiver of the notification requirement. 

The conference agreement includes a provision requiring the 

Director of the Peace Corps to submit a spending plan to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 45 days after enactment 

of this Act on the proposed uses of funds. The report should include

programs, and opening of new country programs.

the Director to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations, not later than 180 days after enactment of this Act, which 

includes the findings of a comprehensive assessment of the current 

program model of the Peace Corps and a strategy for reforming operations, similar to that proposed by the House and Senate. The 

conferees expect the review and strategy for reform to include recommendations for: (1) improving the recruitment and selection 

process to attract a wide diversity of highly and appropriately 

skilled volunteers; (2) training and medical care for volunteers and

proposed by the House. The conference agreement includes a provision that requires notification not later than 15 days prior to specific actions taken on country compacts and threshold agreements,

provision requiring notification of the availability of funds from a

programs, projects and activities, and the proposed implementing 

agency or agencies of the threshold program. 

The conference agreement includes a provision prohibiting the 

use of MCC funds for any military assistance or military training 

purposes, as proposed by the Senate. The conferees direct the MCC 

to identify any project that may be of a dual use nature, and to 

consult with the Committees on Appropriations on the proposed 

safeguards to ensure that such a project will not be used for future 

military purposes by the compact country. The conferees are particularly concerned with airport renovations and upgrades. 

The conference agreement includes a provision that addresses 

the eligibility requirements for countries that were found to be eligible for a compact in fiscal year 2009, which was not in the House 

or Senate bills, but subsequently requested by the MCC.

decentralization of power, as proposed in the Senate Report under 

the ESF heading. 

DEBT RESTRUCTURING

The conference agreement provides $60,000,000 for Debt Restructuring, which is the same as the House and Senate, of which 

$20,000,000 is provided to support implementation of the Tropical 

Forest Conservation Act. 

The conferees endorse the unallocated balances reporting requirement, as proposed by the House. 

Funds provided under this heading are subject to the terms 

and conditions of section 7015 of this Act. 

TITLE IV 

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

The conference agreement provides $1,597,000,000 for International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement (INCLE), which 

is $33,000,000 below the House and $72,000,000 above the Senate. 

In order to better align security assistance funding, the conference 

agreement moves the INCLE account to title IV, instead of title III, 

as proposed by the House and Senate. The conference agreement 

merges the Andean Counterdrug Program account within the 

INCLE account and includes language exempting funds, subject to 

the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations, from the provisions of section 482(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. 

The conferees endorse language related to the exercise of notwithstanding authority, as proposed by the House, and direct the 

Secretary of State to provide the Committees on Appropriations a 

written justification within five days when such authority is used. 

Afghanistan.—The conference agreement includes a limitation 

under this heading which prohibits funds for aerial spraying of herbicides in Afghanistan unless the Secretary of State determines 

and reports to the Committees on Appropriations that the President of Afghanistan has requested such assistance, and requires 

that prior to the provision of any such assistance the Secretary 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1482 

shall consult with the Committees on Appropriations, as proposed 

by the House. 

The conferees endorse a reporting requirement on arrests of 

Afghan drug traffickers, similar to that proposed by the House. The 

report shall also include the names of those arrested, the disposition of cases, and an assessment of the obstacles to successful prosecution of such cases. This report may be submitted in a classified 

form, if necessary. 

Bolivia.—The conference agreement includes conditions on assistance to Bolivian police and military forces, similar to that proposed by the House. 

Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI).—The conferees endorse the budget request in INCLE for the CBSI, and direct that 

such funds shall be derived from amounts made available under 

Western Hemisphere Regional. 

Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI).—The 

conferees remain concerned with youth violence, criminal gangs, organized crime, drug trafficking and other forms of criminal activity 

and violence in Central America. The conferees support the budget 

request under the INCLE heading for the Central America portion 

of the Merida Initiative and direct that such funds shall be made 

available from Western Hemisphere Regional funds for CARSI. The 

conferees direct the Secretary of State to undertake a comprehensive review of regional security assistance programs and submit a 

report not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act to the 

Committees on Appropriations detailing the threats or problems to 

be addressed, goals and objectives, planned uses of assistance, and 

expected results. The conferees expect the report to include all 

countries of Central America, including the Dominican Republic 

and Haiti, that have received assistance under the Merida Initiative. 

Colombia.—The conference agreement includes a provision 

that prohibits the use of any funds appropriated by this Act or 

prior Acts for assistance for the Colombian Departamento 

Administrativo de Seguridad (DAS), similar to that proposed by the 

Senate. The conferees intend that, should the DAS be dismantled, 

such prohibition shall also apply to any successor organization. The 

conferees are aware of reports that the DAS has repeatedly engaged in phone tapping, email interception, and other illegal activities against law-abiding citizens, including collusion with illegal 

armed groups. 

The conferees endorse language in the House and Senate Reports regarding Colombia’s Center for Coordination of Integrated 

Action. 

Guatemala.—The conference agreement does not include a provision concerning certain organizations in Guatemala, as proposed 

by the Senate. However, the conferees are concerned with reports 

of threats and violent attacks against human rights defenders and 

the lack of resources to protect them and their families, investigate 

these crimes, and punish those responsible. The conferees direct 

that not less than $2,000,000 shall be made available to support 

the Ministry of Interior’s Institute for Attacks Against Human 

Rights Defenders, officers within the Criminal Investigation Division of the Police who are assigned to work with the Institute, and 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1483 

the Department for the Protection of Personalities of the Police including its Unit of Risk Analysis. 

Iraq.—The conferees direct that none of the funds made available for assistance for Iraq may be used for new construction, as 

proposed in the Senate Report. 

Mexico.—The conferees endorse the reporting requirements on 

the uses of Merida Initiative funds in Mexico, including on the 

Mexican Federal Registry of Police Personnel, as proposed in the 

Senate Report. The report shall be submitted not later than 90 

days after enactment of this Act. The report should also address 

the specific uses of all prior appropriations, including the status of 

obligations. 

The conference agreement does not include a provision, proposed by the House and Senate, concerning compatibility of law enforcement communications equipment. However, the conferees direct that any funds appropriated under this heading that are available for assistance for Mexico may be made available for the procurement of law enforcement communications equipment if, where 

appropriate, such equipment utilizes encryption technology, open 

standards, and is compatible with and capable of operating with 

radio communications systems and related equipment utilized by 

relevant law enforcement agencies in the United States, to enhance 

border security and cooperation in law enforcement efforts between 

Mexico and the United States. Such funds shall be awarded 

through full and open competition in accordance with all applicable 

rules and regulations. 

The conferees are concerned that the report submitted pursuant to section 1406(b) of the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 

2008 (Public Law 110–252) and section 7045(e)(1) of the Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–8) relating to human 

rights in Mexico did not include the requisite findings by the Secretary of State that the Government of Mexico had met the requirements in the law. The conferees remain concerned with the lack of 

progress on these issues, and the lack of transparency in cases involving allegations against Mexican military personnel, and direct 

that future reports submitted pursuant to section 7045(e)(2) of this 

Act include the necessary findings. 

Copyright Materials.—The conference agreement provides 

$5,000,000 for programs to combat piracy of United States copyright materials, as proposed by the Senate. 

International Law Enforcement Academies (ILEAs).—The conferees support the utilization of the Department of State’s ILEA facility at Roswell, New Mexico, provide $5,000,000 for this purpose 

in fiscal year 2010, and direct the Secretary of State to develop and 

submit to the Committees on Appropriations a multi-year plan for 

the continued operation of the Roswell facility on a competitive 

basis in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. 

Funds in this account are allocated according to the following 

table, subject to the provisions of section 7019 of this Act:

country with CTF and SCF funds, including types of technology 

funded, entities to which the funds were provided, and whether the 

funds were provided in the form of budget support; the extent to 

which the World Bank has established a methodology to evaluate 

and publicly report on the direct or indirect impact of CTF and

as other environmentally beneficial exports. 

The conferees endorse the reporting requirement on the impact 

of the global financial crisis and economic downturn on the work 

of Ex-Im, as proposed by the House. The report should include annual and quarterly data, detail and trends, both in aggregate and

credit and other services; impact on the volume of Ex-Im transactions; impact on activity across specific regions or sectors; impact 

on risk portfolio and default rates; impact on revenue generated by 

Ex-Im services; likely explanations for these effects; resulting adjustments made to Ex-Im’s management and operations; and any

The conference agreement includes a reporting requirement in 

section 7079(b) on OPIC’s commitment to invest in renewable and 

other clean energy technologies and on OPIC’s plans to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its portfolio, as proposed by the Senate.

The following provisions are new, modified from the Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–8), or further clarified in 

this joint statement. 

Sec. 7004. Embassy construction 

The provision is modified by including subsection (c), which requires the Department of State to consult with the Committees on 

Appropriations prior to the obligation of funds to acquire property 

for diplomatic facilities in Kabul, Afghanistan, similar to that proposed by the Senate. 

Sec. 7006. Local guard contracts 

The conference agreement includes a new provision which allows the Secretary of State flexibility to award local guard contracts on the basis of either lowest price that is technically acceptable or the best value cost-technical tradeoff (as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation part 15.101) when awarding such contracts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. Current law requires 

that all local guard contracts must be awarded on the basis of the 

lowest price that is technically acceptable, and if other factors had 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1497 

been considered, the problems reported earlier this year involving 

the local guard contract in Kabul, Afghanistan may have been prevented. The conferees understand that providing the Secretary 

with authority to make awards through the best value approach 

can enhance the guard force’s effectiveness and justify the additional cost, particularly in countries with dangerous or hostile environments. 

Sec. 7008. Coups d’E ́ tat 

The conference agreement changes the heading from ‘‘Military 

Coups’’ to ‘‘Coups d’E ́ tat’’. While there is no substantive change to 

the provision, the conferees are concerned that the previous title 

implied an unintended limitation of the provision’s application, and 

direct the Department of State’s Office of the Legal Advisor to undertake a review of events necessary to trigger the provisions of 

this section and submit a report on such events to the Committees 

on Appropriations not later than 45 days after enactment of this 

Act. 

Sec. 7009. Transfer authority 

The conference agreement includes a new subsection requiring notification of transfers over $1,000,000 between either USAID or 

the Department of State and any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States Government. The provision is further modified by requiring audits of funds transferred by the Department of State to any other federal agency. 

Sec. 7015. Reprogramming notification requirements 

The conference agreement modifies subsection (c) to include 

the CSI and CCF headings; subsection (d) to include an exemption 

from the requirements of this subsection to funds transferred to 

title I of this Act; and subsection (f) by including Somalia and Sri 

Lanka on the country notification list. 

Sec. 7019. Allocations 

The conference agreement modifies this section to include 

charts under the following headings: CSI, D&CP, American Sections, International Commissions, DF, INCLE, and PKO; and 

strikes Andean Counterdrug Programs. 

Sec. 7030. International financial institutions 

The conference agreement continues prior year language related to limitations on programs in Heavily Indebted Poor Countries, as proposed by the House, and includes technical changes. 

Sec. 7034. Special authorities 

The conference agreement is modified by deleting subsections 

(i), (k), (m), and (o); moving subsection (f) to section 7085(c) of this 

Act; modifying subsection (d); and including new subsections (j), (l), 

(m), (n), (o), (p), (q), (r), (s), and (t). 

The conference agreement includes a modified provision (subsection (o)) that restricts the use of funds in this Act for implementation of the Partner Vetting System (PVS), similar to that proposed by the Senate. The section was modified to allow for impleVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 01501 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1498 

mentation of a limited pilot program, and the conferees understand 

that this pilot program may be conducted in up to five countries 

and in Washington. The provision also requires that the PVS pilot 

be applied equally to the Department of State and USAID. Steps 

to put USAID’s PVS system in place began in fiscal year 2009, and 

the system should be designed to vet USAID partners in order to 

minimize the risk that taxpayer-funded assistance could be diverted for terrorist purposes, without impeding the efficient and effective implementation of United States foreign assistance programs. The conferees expect the system to be extended to the Department of State’s implementing partners but do not intend for 

this extension to supersede current Leahy vetting requirements on 

security assistance. 

The conferees remain concerned with the quality of the Department of State and USAID congressional budget justifications 

(CBJs). While the conference agreement does not include language 

proposed by the Senate that would have prohibited the obligation 

of funds to compile, produce, or publish any CBJ documents for fiscal year 2011 until the Secretary of State and the USAID Administrator consult with the Committees on Appropriations, the conferees expect consultations to continue regarding the purpose, format, and content of the CBJs. 

The conference agreement includes a provision clarifying the 

Secretary of State’s obligations regarding visa determinations for 

applicants of A–3 and G–5 visas, under the William Wilberforce 

Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public 

Law 110–457). For purposes of section 203(a)(2) of such Act, a final 

civil judgment in a trafficking case or a determination by the Department of Justice that the United States Government would seek 

to indict the diplomat or a family member but for diplomatic immunity shall be deemed ‘‘credible evidence’’ of abuse or other mistreatment. 

Sec. 7040. Limitation on Assistance for the Palestinian Authority 

The conference agreement includes a new subsection (f), which 

is substantively identical to the provision carried in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–32). The new 

subsection continues to prohibit assistance to Hamas or any entity 

effectively controlled by Hamas, and further prohibits assistance to 

any power-sharing government of which Hamas is a member unless such government, including all its ministers or such equivalent, has met certain conditions. 

Sec. 7041. Saudi Arabia 

The conference agreement includes a new provision prohibiting 

assistance for Saudi Arabia, similar to that proposed by the House. 

The conference agreement includes a waiver. The Senate did not 

include similar language. 

Sec. 7042. Near East 

The conference agreement includes a new provision similar to 

that proposed by the Senate, which provides overall assistance levels in the Act for the countries of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon. The conferees note that these levels do not include funds that 


smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1499 

may be derived through regional funding within the individual appropriations accounts. The provision also includes a funding level 

for the West Bank and Gaza. 

The provision includes language, similar to that proposed by 

the Senate, regarding the establishment of an endowment to further the shared interests of the United States and Egypt, consistent with the purposes for which such funds are requested in the 

fiscal year 2010 CBJ materials and appropriated under such heading. The House did not include a similar provision. The conferees 

recognize that discussions and negotiations on such an endowment 

will take time, and direct the Secretary of State to consult with the 

Committees on these efforts. Consultation should include explanation of the specific definition of shared interests, and how such 

interests would be furthered through an endowment. The conferees 

note that such funds are subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations. 

The provision includes language continuing the transparency 

and accountability reporting requirements contained in the statement of managers accompanying the Supplemental Appropriations 

Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–32, House Report 111–151) under the 

MRA heading. The House had included the reporting requirement 

as a separate general provision. The Senate bill did not include a 

similar requirement. 

Sec. 7043. Iran Sanctions 

The conference agreement includes a provision similar to that 

proposed by the House which modifies the reporting requirement in 

the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111–8) by adding a statement of policy in subsection (a) and including a limitation in subsection (b). The conferees intend ‘‘significant’’ or ‘‘material’’ to mean aggregate transactions undertaken in a 12-month period valued in excess of $20,000,000. The conferees direct the Departments of State and Treasury to be responsible for determining 

what entities meet such standard. The conference agreement does 

not restrict the Export-Import Bank from modifying existing transactions. However, the conferees direct the Export-Import Bank to 

consult with the Committees on Appropriations prior to the modification or extension of financing to any existing project that would 

otherwise be prohibited by this section. 

Sec. 7044. Aircraft Transfer and Coordination 

The conference agreement includes a provision, similar to that 

proposed by the Senate, regarding the use of Department of State 

and USAID aircraft, including a reporting requirement on air 

fleets. 

Sec. 7045. Western Hemisphere 

The conference agreement includes funding and legislative requirements for a Caribbean Basin Security Initiative, as proposed 

by the House. The conference agreement includes a provision, similar to that proposed by the Senate, providing authority for USAID 

to continue support for an Economic and Social Development Fund 

for Central America, which is intended to address unemployment 

and other root causes of drug trafficking and criminal gangs, parVerDate Nov 24 2008 00:58 Jan 16, 2010 Jkt 054378 PO 00000 Frm 01503 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR366.XXX HR366

smartinez on DSKB9S0YB1PROD with REPORTS
1500 

ticularly among youth, in vulnerable communities. The conference 

agreement does not provide a specific funding level from under the 

ESF heading, as proposed by the Senate. The provision continues 

funding allocations and legislative requirements for Haiti, Guatemala, Mexico, Central America, and trade capacity building. The 

conferees intend that the pilot project required in subsection (h) 

will inform the findings and recommendations of the report required on passport cards, which should also include an analysis of 

the effect that expanding passport cards to air travelers may have 

on the fees for both the passport cards and passport books. 

Sec. 7046. Colombia 

The conference agreement includes language similar to prior 

years except that it continues by reference the prior year funding 

restrictions and reporting requirements with the exception that 

(b)(1)(B)(iv) of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 

111–8) is modified to include human rights defenders, journalists, 

trade unionists, political and religious leaders. The provision provides not more than $521,880,000 for assistance for Colombia from 

funds made available under the headings ESF, NADR, INCLE, 

IMET, and FMF. The conferees note that the cap established by 

this section includes funds that may be derived from regional accounts. 

Funds made available in this Act for Colombia are to be allocated according to the following table, subject to the provisions of 

section 7019 of this Act:
