tions of the House of Representatives and the Senate a quarterly 
report on the status of balances of appropriations at the account 
level. For unobligated, uncommitted balances and unobligated, com-
mitted balances the quarterly reports shall separately identify the

(c) If a department or agency is unable to fulfill any aspect 
of a reporting requirement described in subsection (a) due to a

quarterly report the extent to which such aspect is not fulfilled. 
SEC. 509. Any costs incurred by a department or agency funded 
under this Act resulting from, or to prevent, personnel actions 
taken in response to funding reductions included in this Act shall 
be absorbed within the total budgetary resources available to such 
department or agency: Provided, That the authority to transfer 
funds between appropriations accounts as may be necessary to 
carry out this section is provided in addition to authorities included 
elsewhere in this Act: Provided further, That use of funds to carry 
out this section shall be treated as a reprogramming of funds 
under section 505 of this Act and shall not be available for obligation 
or expenditure except in compliance with the procedures set forth 
in that section. 
SEC. 510. None of the funds provided by this Act shall be 
available to promote the sale or export of tobacco or tobacco prod-
ucts, or to seek the reduction or removal by any foreign country

except for restrictions which are not applied equally to all tobacco 
or tobacco products of the same type. 
SEC. 511. Hereafter, none of the funds appropriated pursuant 
to this Act or any other provision of law may be used for— 
(1) the implementation of any tax or fee in connection 
with the implementation of subsection 922(t) of title 18, United 
States Code; and 
(2) any system to implement subsection 922(t) of title 18, 
United States Code, that does not require and result in the 
destruction of any identifying information submitted by or on 
behalf of any person who has been determined not to be prohib-
ited from possessing or receiving a firearm no more than 24 
hours after the system advises a Federal firearms licensee 
that possession or receipt of a firearm by the prospective trans-
feree would not violate subsection (g) or (n) of section 922 
of title 18, United States Code, or State law. 
SEC. 512. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, amounts 
deposited or available in the Fund established under 42 U.S.C.

H. R. 2112—82 
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 Legal Services Corporation shall conduct audits, pursuant to 
the Inspector General Act (5 U.S.C. App.), of grants or contracts 
for which 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 Sec-
retary, 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. 
(d) Any person awarded a grant or contract funded by amounts 
appropriated by this Act shall submit a statement to the Secretary 
of Commerce, the Attorney General, the Administrator, Director, 
or President, as appropriate, certifying that no funds derived from 
the grant or contract will be made available through a subcontract
H. R. 2112—83 
or in any other manner to another person who has a financial 
interest in the person awarded the grant or contract. 
(e) The provisions of the preceding subsections of this section 
shall take effect 30 days after the date on which the Director 
of the Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with 
the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, determines that 
a uniform set of rules and requirements, substantially similar to 
the requirements in such subsections, consistently apply under 
the executive branch ethics program to all Federal departments, 
agencies, and entities. 
SEC. 518. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
available under this Act may be used by the Departments of Com-
merce and Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space Administra-
tion, or the National Science Foundation to acquire information 
technology systems unless the respective Secretary or head of 
agency, in consultation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
or other appropriate Federal agencies, has assessed any associated 
risk of cyber-espionage or sabotage. 
SEC. 519. None of the funds made available in this Act shall 
be used in any way whatsoever to support or justify the use of 
torture by any official or contract employee of the United States 
Government. 
SEC. 520. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or 
treaty, none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available 
under this Act or any other Act may be expended or obligated 
by a department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States 
to pay 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, acces-
sories or attachments for firearms listed in Category I, section 
121.1 of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations (International Traf-
ficking 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. 
(b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export license— 
(1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any Shipper’s 
Export Declaration or notification letter required by law, or 
from being otherwise eligible under the laws of the United 
States to possess, ship, transport, or export the articles enumer-
ated in subsection (a); and 
(2) does not permit the export without a license of— 
(A) fully automatic firearms and components and parts 
for such firearms, other than for end use by the Federal 
Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of 
Canada; 
(B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete 
breech mechanisms for any firearm listed in Category I, 
other than for end use by the Federal Government, or 
a Provincial or Municipal Government of Canada; or 
(C) articles for export from Canada to another foreign 
destination. 
(c) In accordance with this section, the District Directors of 
Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or temporary 
export without a license of any unclassified articles specified in 
subsection (a) to Canada for end use in Canada or return to the 
United States, or temporary import of Canadian-origin items from
H. R. 2112—84 
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 arti-
cles specified in subsection (a), such that a significant diversion 
of such articles has and continues to take place for use in inter-
national 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) and qualified pursuant to 27 CFR section 
478.112 or .113, for a permit to import United States origin ‘‘curios 
or relics’’ firearms, parts, or ammunition. 
SEC. 522. None of the funds made available in this Act may 
be used to include in any new bilateral or multilateral trade agree-
ment the text of—

pore Free Trade Agreement; 
(2) paragraph 4 of article 17.9 of the United States-Aus-
tralia Free Trade Agreement; or 
(3) paragraph 4 of article 15.9 of the United States-Morocco 
Free Trade Agreement. 
SEC. 523. None of the funds made available in this Act may 
be used to authorize or issue a national security letter in contraven-
tion of any of the following laws authorizing the Federal Bureau 
of Investigation to issue national security letters: The Right to 
Financial Privacy Act; The Electronic Communications Privacy Act; 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act; The National Security Act of 1947; 
USA PATRIOT Act; and the laws amended by these Acts. 
SEC. 524. If at any time during any quarter, the program 
manager of a project within the jurisdiction of the Departments 
of Commerce or Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration, or the National Science Foundation totaling more 
than $75,000,000 has reasonable cause to believe that the total 
program cost has increased by 10 percent, the program manager 
shall immediately inform the respective 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 schedule milestones and the degree
