The Office of Inspector General's (OIG) mission is to promote
economy, efficiency and effectiveness and to detect and prevent waste,
fraud, abuse and mismanagement in the programs and operations of the
Department of Commerce. OIG's work is conducted primarily through
audits, inspections, and investigations. The audit function provides for
both internal and contract audits: internal audits review and evaluate
all facets of agency operations; contract audits provide professional
advice to agency contracting officials on accounting and financial
matters related to negotiation, award, administration, repricing and
settlement of contracts. Inspections provide detailed technical
evaluations of agency operations. Investigations provide for the
detection and scrutiny of improper and illegal activities involving
Commerce programs, personnel and operations.

The OIG concentrates on programs and operations that have the
greatest potential for inadvertent or deliberate fraud and recovery of
funds, while at the same time precluding unnecessary outlays and
improving management agency-wide. Performance measures indicate the
quality of audits, inspections, and investigations conducted within the
reporting period, as well as the dollar value of financial benefits
identified by the OIG.

gram, as well as the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees
committed in 1992 and thereafter, if any. The subsidy amounts are
estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are
estimated on a cash basis.

Consistent with the Administration's efforts to reduce corporate
subsidies, Congress rescinded $115 million in 2001 and $5.2 million in
2002 as the economic outlook for the oil and gas industry dramatically
improved since the program's inception. In light of the greatly reduced
demand for oil and gas guarantees, $0.9 million was rescinded in 2003.
The authority to guarantee new loans expired on December 31, 2001.

The Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides investments
for public works facilities, other financial assistance, and planning
and coordination assistance needed to alleviate conditions of
substantial and persistent unemployment and underemployment in
economically distressed areas and regions. EDA assistance stimulates job
creation, increases income in distressed communities, and promotes
greater national productivity and balanced economic growth.

In 2005, EDA will help States, regions, and communities across the
Nation create wealth and minimize poverty by promoting a favorable
business environment to attract private capital investments and higher-
skill/higher-wage jobs through capacity building, planning,
infrastructure investments, research grants and strategic initiatives.
EDA's programs will serve as a catalyst for assisting distressed
communities achieve long-term competitive economic potential through the
strategic investment of resources based upon locally and regionally
developed priorities.

EDA will continue to place priority on investments that drive
economic growth, enhance regional competitiveness and support long-term
development of the regional economy while also seeking to greater target
funds to our Nation's communities of highest distress.

EDA responds to community priorities and strives to meet its
objectives through the use of a broad range of program tools:

Planning investments.--Supports the design and implementation of
effective economic development policies and programs by local
organizations.

Technical assistance investments.--Provides for local feasibility
and industry studies, and funding for a network of university centers
that assist public bodies, nonprofit organizations, and businesses to
plan and implement activities designed to generate jobs and income in
distressed areas.

Public works investments.--Provides for infrastructure projects that
enable communities to attract new, or support existing manufacturing and
commercial businesses to generate new jobs in communities experiencing
high unemployment, low per-capita income, or out-migration.

Economic adjustment investments.--Provides flexible assistance
tools, including planning, technical assistance, revolving loan funds
and infrastructure development, to help communities counteract either a
gradual erosion or a sudden dislocation of their local economic
structure as a result of natural disasters, international trade
competition, or major plant closings. Economic adjustment funds also
support Brownfields redevelopment.

Research evaluation investments.--Supports studies about the causes
of economic distress and approaches to alleviating and preventing such
problems, national demonstrations of innovative economic development
techniques, and dissemination of economic development information.

Trade adjustment assistance.--Provides technical assistance through
a national network of 12 Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers to
certified U.S. manufacturing firms and industries economically injured
as the result of international trade competition.

Performance measures.--All EDA program activities under this account
support the Department of Commerce strategic goal to provide the
information and tools to maximize U.S. competitiveness and enable
economic growth for American industries, workers, and consumers. In
2005, EDA will track private investment and jobs generated by its
investments. For investments made in 2003, 2004, and 2005, long-term
outcome results will be reported by investment recipients over a period
of nine years following award at three year intervals. For example, FY
2005 construction and revolving loan fund investments are expected to
create or retain 58,500 jobs by 2014. In 2005, EDA will track its
capacity-building investments to ensure that the planning, technical
assistance, and

[[Page 208]]

trade adjustment assistance programs are providing market-based and
value-added services. In addition, EDA will refine its targets to more
closely reflect achievable performance. Below are EDA's performance
goals and selected measures that demonstrate EDA's support of Commerce's
strategic goals.

EDA Goal 1: Increase private enterprise and job creation in
economically distressed communities.

EDA Goal 2: Improve community capacity to achieve and sustain
economic growth.

For 2003, actual results have been tabulated.

A more detailed presentation of goals, performance measures and
targets is found in the FY 2005 Budget Submission.

The activities of this appropriation provide for the collection,
compilation, and publication of a broad range of current economic,
demographic, and social statistics.

Current economic statistics.--The business statistics program
provides current information on sales and related measures of retail and
wholesale trade and selected service industries. This program will
expand coverage of the new principal economic indicator of quarterly
service industry activity introduced in calendar year 2004. It also will
provide annual selected merchandise line data for retail and wholesale
trade sectors and will expand annual coverage of service industries.

Construction statistics reports are provided on significant
construction activity such as housing permits and starts, value of new
construction, residential alterations and repairs, and quarterly price
indexes for new single-family houses.

Manufacturing statistics survey key industrial commodities and
manufacturing activities, providing current statistics on the quantity
and value of industrial output.

General economic statistics provide a Business Register of all U.S.
business firms and their establishments, uniform classification data
based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS),
annual county business data, corporate financial data, e-commerce
estimates, and an economic research program. The E-Government increase
will permit businesses to file electronically in any one of almost one
hundred current economic surveys.

Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly,
cumulative, and annual reports on the quantity, shipping weight, and
dollar value of imports and exports, by mode of transportation, detailed
commodity category, customs districts, and country of origin or
destination. This program covers the Census Bureau responsibilities
under the Trade Act of 1974. This program will accelerate the release of
trade statistics and expand the Automated Export System.

Government statistics reports provide information on the revenue,
expenditures, indebtedness and debt transactions, financial assets,
employment, and payrolls of State and local governments. The Census
Bureau provides quarterly information on State and local tax revenue on
the national level by type of tax and governmental level, and provides
information on financial assistance programs of the Federal Government.

Current demographic statistics.--Household surveys provide
information on the number, geographic distribution, and the social and
economic characteristics of the population.

The Census Bureau compiles statistics on the Nation's housing
inventory and provides national and regional estimates of housing
vacancy rates. Population and housing analyses provide current
demographic reports on the geographic distribution and on the
demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the population, as
well as current estimates and future projections of the population of
the United States, and special analyses of demographic, social and
economic trends. International statistics provide estimates of
population, labor force, and economic activity, including spatial
distribution, and analyses concerning aspects of demographic policies,
economic policies, and trends for various countries.

Survey development and data services.--The Statistical Abstract that
the Census Bureau prepares annually summarizes Government and private
statistics of the industrial, social, political, and economic activities
of the United States. The Bureau conducts general research on survey
methods and techniques to find ways of improving the efficiency,
accuracy, and timeliness of statistical programs.

Survey of Program Dynamics.--The Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Act of 1996 required that the Survey of Income and Program
Participation be expanded to evaluate the impact of welfare reforms made
by that Act. This program will be considered as part of the re-
authorization of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.

The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) was
established and funded through mandatory appropriations by the Medicare,
Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance Program Balanced Budget
Refinement Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-113). Congress appropriated $10 million
to produce statistically reliable annual data from the Annual Social and
Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey on the number of
low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from
this enhanced survey are used in the formula to allocate funds to States
under the SCHIP program.

Performance measures.--Activities under the Salaries and Expenses
account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal involving
promotion of economic growth. The performance goals are to meet the
needs of policymakers, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and the
public for current measures of the U.S. population, economy, and
governments, and to foster an environment that supports innovation,
promotes data use, minimizes respondent burden, respects individual
privacy, and ensures confidentiality.

A more detailed presentation of the goals, performance measures, and
targets is found in the FY 2005 Budget Submission.

This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic economic
and demographic censuses and other authorized activities.

Economic statistics programs:

Economic censuses.--The economic censuses provide data on
manufacturers, mining, retail and wholesale trade and service
industries, construction, and transportation. The censuses are taken
every fifth year, covering calendar years ending in two and seven. 2005
is the sixth year in the 2002 Economic Census cycle and the first year
in the 2007 Economic Census cycle. The focus in 2005 is on the
publication and dissemination of information collected and processed in
the previous two years. The Bureau will continue to process the data
collection for the Survey of Business Owners, which presents information
about the characteristics of almost 23 million businesses.

Census of governments.--The census of governments provides
information on State and local governments' taxes, tax valuations,
governmental receipts, expenditures, indebtedness, and number of
employees. This census is taken every fifth year for calendar years
ending in two and seven. 2005 is the first year in the five-year cycle
of the 2007 Census of Governments. The focus for 2005 will be on
planning, scheduling, and organizing activities for all three phases of
the Census of Governments; Organization, Employment, and Finance.

Demographic statistics programs:

Intercensal demographic estimates.--In years between decennial
censuses, this program develops annual estimates of

[[Page 211]]

the population and its demographic characteristics, for the Nation,
States, metropolitan areas, counties and functioning governmental units.
These data are used for a variety of purposes including the allocation
of nearly $200 billion in Federal funds, as controls for a variety of
federally sponsored surveys, as denominators for vital statistics and
other health and economic indicators, and for a variety of Federal,
State, and private program planning needs. These data will also allow
for and will provide ``annual estimates'' for the major components of
demographic change instead of the current ``once a decade'' estimate. In
2005, the program will continue to improve its estimates of
international migration at a sub-national level.

Decennial Census.--The Census Bureau has begun the process of
planning the next decennial census.

The plan for the 2010 Census features three key components which
will reduce operational risks, improve accuracy, provide more relevant
data, and contain cost; (1) Establishment of an early design and
planning process that will allow the Census Bureau to test fully all
major elements of a simplified, streamlined census designed to collect
the basic (``short form'') data needed to fulfill constitutional and
legal mandates; (2) Implementation of the American Community Survey
(ACS) to collect ``long form'' data on an annual basis, instead of
having a long form in 2010; and (3) Enhancing the Census Bureau's
geographic database and associated address list, referred to as MAF/
TIGER (Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding
and Referencing) by replacing the internally developed MAF/TIGER system
with one that uses Global Positioning System technology and aerial
photography to update and improve the address and street information
gathered at great expense for Census 2000. Activities in these three
areas are highly integrated, complement each other, and form the basis
for re-engineering the 2010 Census.

In 2005, the Census Bureau will be continuing extensive planning,
testing and development activities to support the re-engineered, short
form only, 2010 Census. In 2005, the Bureau also will continue
implementation of the ACS. To enhance the MAF/TIGER system, the Census
Bureau will continue a multi-year effort of correcting the accuracy of
map feature locations in 700 of the Nation's 3,233 counties.

Demographic surveys sample redesign.--This program provides for the
sample selection of monthly, quarterly and annual household surveys to
conform to the redistribution of the population measured in the
decennial census. This is done after each decennial census in order to
select accurate samples for the major household surveys throughout the
decade. Implementation of the first new samples began in 2004.

Electronic information collection (EIC).--EIC is the Census Bureau's
program to transform its business processes--the collection, processing,
and dissemination of information. Making the greatest possible use of
automation and telecommunications, EIC seeks to provide the tools and
systems to deliver to our customers accurate information quickly and
efficiently, with as little burden as possible on those who provide the
data to the Census Bureau.

Geographic support.--This activity's goal is to determine the
correct location of every business establishment in the U.S. and its
territories. The activity's major components include the TIGER data base
and the MAF. TIGER provides maps and geographic information for data
tabulation; MAF provides the geographically-assigned address list for
the Nation. Together, they provide essential information and products
critical for conducting many of the Bureau's programs.

Data processing systems.--This activity provides for the purchase or
renting of hardware and software needed for the Bureau's general purpose
computing facilities.

Performance measures.--Activities under the Periodic Censuses and
Programs account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal
involving promotion of economic growth. The performance goals are to
support the economic and political foundations of the United States by
producing benchmark measures of the economy and population for the
administration and equitable funding of Federal, State, and local
programs; to meet constitutional and legislative mandates by
implementing a reengineered 2010 Census that is cost-effective, provides
more timely data, improves coverage, accuracy, and reduces operational
risk; and, to foster an environment that supports innovation, promotes
data use, minimizes respondent burden, and respects individual privacy.

A more detailed presentation of the goals, performance measures, and
targets is found in the FY 2005 Budget Submission.

Bureau of Economic Analysis.--The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
is a principal Federal statistical agency. It produces the U.S. Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) and associated national economic accounts that
provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy encompassing
national, international, industry-by-industry, and regional economic
activity. These statistics provide the means of comparing the U.S. with
other world economies.

[[Page 213]]

BEA's data are used to formulate and evaluate U.S. Government fiscal
and monetary policy, including preparing the Federal budget and
allocating over $165 billion of Federal Government support to the
States. The BEA data are also used regularly by State and local
governments in their planning and evaluation of public policy. In
addition, BEA data are important to U.S. businesses; for business
planning and the tracking of the U.S. and regional economic activity and
development.

To prepare the accounts, BEA assembles thousands of monthly,
quarterly, and annual economic data series, ranging from national level
retail sales to county level wages and salaries, and combines them into
consistent and comprehensive sets of accounts.

National economic accounts.--The national accounts both detail the
relationship between U.S. economic production and the incomes it
generates and trace the principal economic flows among the major sectors
and industries in the economy. They are best known by summary measures
such as gross domestic product (GDP), corporate profits, and personal
saving. In addition, the accounts provide information on the U.S.
capital stock by type and industry; GDP by industry; and, through the
input-output accounts, information on how industries interact, all of
which are used in calculating the GDP. The accounts are regarded as the
mainstays of U.S. macroeconomic analysis.

International economic accounts.--The international transactions
accounts provide information on trade in goods and services, investment
income, and government and private financial flows. They are best known
by summary measures such as the balance of payments and the trade
balance. In addition, the accounts provide information on the U.S.
international investment position, which measures the value of U.S.
international assets and liabilities. These accounts are critical
statistical tools used in formulating and evaluating international
economic policy. BEA's data on direct investment - the most detailed
data set on the operations of multinational companies available - are
used to assess the role these companies play in the global economy.

Regional economic accounts.--The regional accounts provide data on
total and per capita personal income by region, State, metropolitan
area, and county, and on gross state product. The regional accounts
statistics are essential for State government revenue forecasting, the
allocation of Federal funds to the States, and for private sector
investment decisions.

Industry economic accounts.--The industry economic accounts,
presented both in an input-output framework and as annual output by each
industry, provide a detailed view of the interrelationships between U.S.
producers and users and the contribution to production across
industries. These accounts are used extensively by policymakers and
businesses to understand industry interactions, productivity trends, and
the changing structure of the U.S. economy.

Implementing BEA's strategic plan.--The dynamics of the U.S.
economy, with its growing complexity, technological advances, and
dramatic changes in structure, make it increasingly difficult to provide
an accurate, up-to-date picture of economic activity. Add the effects of
recent events related to national security and the business cycle
turndown, and it is now more important than ever that government and
business leaders have the most relevant, accurate, and timely economic
information possible. BEA must continually expand and improve its
economic accounts to keep pace with the economy and meet the increased
demand for economic information. BEA is working to overcome statistical
weaknesses and close gaps in data coverage by developing such
improvements as more accurate measures of services, profits,
compensation, new quality-adjusted prices, new measures of international
trade and finance, and accelerated release of industry and international
trade estimates. In FY 2005, BEA will build on past progress toward
accelerating the release of economic indicators by also accelerating its
estimates of GDP, personal income and consumer spending, gross state
product, metropolitan and local income, and further acceleration of the
estimates of international trade in services.

BEA will further improve the accuracy of its statistics in FY 2005
by incorporating real-time data purchased from the private sector into
its measures, expanding its surveys to collect more comprehensive--and
more timely--data on international trade in services, updating the U.S.
international financial accounts to meet international standards,
improving the accuracy of the input-output accounts, integrating the new
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) into remaining
aspects of the accounts, and developing detailed annual capital flow
tables to inform decisions on business investment. BEA will also work
with the Census Bureau and other Federal agencies to fill large
remaining gaps in data sources for services and other key components of
the economy.

Improving information technology.--BEA's statistical processing
systems play an essential role in the production of the economic
accounts. It is critical that they be redesigned to incorporate new
methodologies and modernized to take full advantage of current
information technology capabilities. In FY 2005, BEA will continue its
system modernization efforts to include the international accounts,
industry accounts, and regional accounts. BEA will continue to upgrade
its suite of software tools (e.g. econometric and database software)
that are critical in supporting timely and reliable economic estimates.
BEA also will expand its electronic reporting capability to more of its
international surveys and will continue to develop new data
dissemination features via its website.

Policy support.--The Economics and Statistics Administration's
headquarters operation advises the Secretary of Commerce and other
government officials on matters related to economic developments and
forecasts, and the development of options and positions relating to both
macroeconomic and microeconomic policy.

Reimbursable program.--ESA provides economic and statistical data
and analyses on a reimbursable and advance payment basis to other
Federal agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such information.
Funds received for these services cover the cost of performing this
work.

Activities under Economic and Statistical Analysis support the
Commerce Department's strategic goal to provide the information and
tools to maximize U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for
American industries, workers, and consumers.

Performance measures.--BEA will seek to maintain delivery of all
data releases on schedule, and a mean rating greater than a 4.0 (on a 5-
point scale) in users' satisfaction, as determined by a customer survey.
In addition, BEA will achieve specified milestones in improving the
economic accounts, accelerating economic estimates, and meeting
international obligations.

Goal: Provide relevant, accurate and timely economic data.

economic data (number of scheduled
releases on time)................... 48 of 48 54 of 54 TBD

The mission of the International Trade Administration (ITA) in the
Department of Commerce is to create economic opportunity for U.S.
workers and firms by promoting international trade, opening foreign
markets, ensuring compliance with trade laws and agreements, and
supporting U.S. commercial interests at home and abroad.

Working as a key part of the Government-wide Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee, ITA will pursue this mission through the
activities of its five major subdivisions and through reimbursable
programs as follows:

Manufacturing and services.--This new unit focuses on the domestic
and international aspects of U.S. industrial competitiveness; works with
U.S. industry to evaluate the needs of American manufacturers; assesses
the economic impact of new and existing government rules and regulations
on U.S. manufacturing competitiveness; and represents and advocates for
the interests of the U.S. manufacturing and services sectors in the U.S.
Government policy setting and regulatory programs.

Market access and compliance.--The Market Access and Compliance unit
(MAC) is the U.S. Government's front-line offensive team working to
unlock foreign markets for American goods and services country-by-
country and region-by-region. MAC concentrates on market access issues
and the development of strategies to overcome market access obstacles
faced by U.S. businesses. MAC maintains in-depth knowledge of the trade
policies of our trading partners. It monitors foreign country compliance
with numerous multilateral and bilateral trade-related agreements,
identifying compliance problems and other market access obstacles. MAC's
specialists work with other Government agencies to address barriers
rapidly, and to ensure that U.S. firms know how to use the market
opening agreements. It provides information on foreign trade and
business practices to U.S. firms and works to find opportunities and to
develop market strategies in traditional markets and in the emerging
markets. MAC's objective is to develop and to update continuously
current and long-term market access strategies, including developing the
information needed to conduct trade negotiations to open markets. MAC's
specialists work hand-in-hand with U.S. business, trade associations and
other business organizations, Commerce's industry and technical
specialists, and the U.S. Commercial Service's domestic and overseas
offices. This unit will continue to provide support for the operation of
the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Import administration.--Import Administration investigates
antidumping and countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with
applicable U.S. statutes and administers certain other statutory
programs relating to imports and foreign trade zones.

Trade promotion and the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service.--conducts a
variety of trade promotion programs intended to broaden and deepen the
base of U.S. exports, particularly of small and medium-sized firms;
provides American companies with reliable advice on the range of public
and private assistance available and knowledgeable support for all other
Federal trade promotion services; serves as the primary sales force for
Federal trade finance programs for smaller firms, offers export
assistance through information, referral and follow-up services through
its integrated global field network; and leads interagency advocacy
efforts for major overseas projects, including early involvement in
project development and assistance to resolve post-transaction problems.

Administration and executive direction.--Administration and
Executive Direction provide policy leadership and administration
services for the other ITA subdivisions. Executive Direction includes
the Office of the Under Secretary for International Trade, the Deputy
Under Secretary for International Trade, and subordinate offices
covering Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, Public Affairs,
Office of the Chief Information Officer, and the Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee staff. Administration provides human resources
serv

[[Page 216]]

ices, financial management services, and general administrative
assistance for the other ITA subdivisions.

Reimbursable program.--This program includes receipts for services
rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts received on a cost
recovery basis from private entities for trade events and export
information services. ITA proposes to collect fees to offset the costs
associated with services and products provided. In 2005, ITA will
continue to improve existing products and services to U.S. businesses.

Performance measures.--Activities under the ITA account support
Commerce's strategic plan.

coordination program provides executive direction and policy guidance
necessary to effectively administer U.S. export control laws and laws
regarding the defense industrial and technology base.

Export administration.--The export administration program safegards
U.S. national and economic security, nonproliferation, and trade
interests by effectively administering U.S. export control laws relating
to dual-use technologies and weapons of mass destruction; removes
outdated export controls; develops, promotes, and implements policies
which ensure a strong and technologically superior defense industrial
base; oversees compliance by the U.S. business community with the
Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC); and implements the Nation's computer
and encryption export policy.

Export enforcement.--The export enforcement program protects
national security, nonproliferation, counter-terrorism, and foreign
policy interests by enforcing dual-use controls to ensure that illegal
exports will be detected and either prevented or the violators
sanctioned.

Performance measures.--The activities under this account support the
Commerce strategic goal to provide the information and tools to maximize
U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for American industries,
workers and consumers.

The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) maintains the lead
role within the Federal Government providing

[[Page 218]]

management and technical assistance services to minority-owned
businesses (MBEs). MBDA's long term mission is to achieve
entrepreneurial parity and wealth creation for the minority business
community.

MBDA has reengineered its organizational structure to be the
frontline for support in business assistance, information and customer
service and will work to promote strategic growth, job creation, and
sustainable development for the rapidly expanding minority business
population in the United States.

MBDA Goal and Objectives.--In FY 2005, MBDA will expand its Goal of
``Increase Opportunities and Access of Minority-owned Businesses in the
Marketplace and Financing.'' MBDA will manage its programs with an
emphasis on strategic growth, focusing on minority firms with rapid
growth potential and the ability to create jobs and have an economic
impact in geographical areas that have a high concentration of
minorities. Specifically, MBDA has developed a strategy to target its
client base for firms with $500,000 or more in annual revenues as well
as firms with rapid growth potential but smaller annual revenues.

Performance Measures.--MBDA activities will support the
Administration's theme to provide the information and tools to maximize
U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for American industries,
workers and consumers. MBDA will strive to maximize access to capital
and procurement contract opportunities for MBEs to significantly
increase gross receipts and job creation within the minority business
community.

Goal: Increase opportunities and access to minority-owned businesses
in the marketplace and financing.

National Ocean Service (NOS).--These programs provide scientific,
technical, and management expertise to promote safe navigation; assess
the health of coastal and marine resources and respond to natural and
human induced threats; and preserve the coastal ocean and global
environments. To meet 21st century challenges, NOS seeks to maintain its
suite of navigation, response and restoration, and coastal resource
science and management programs.

National Marine Fisheries Service.--These programs provide for the
management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources and
their environment, including fish stocks, marine mammals and endangered
species. Using science-based conservation, management and restoration
activities, these resources can benefit the Nation on a sustained basis.
Increases are proposed to carry out the legislative mandates of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Endangered
Species Act, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act and other
responsibilities. These increases will allow NOAA to build sustainable
fisheries, recover protected species and sustain healthy coastal
ecosystems for the enjoyment of all and the communities that depend on
them.

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--These programs
provide the critical environmental research and technology needed to
improve NOAA services (weather and air quality warnings and forecasts,
climate predictions, and marine services) to enable the Nation to
balance a growing economy with effective management and prediction of
our environment and natural resources. To accomplish these goals, OAR
supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories,
universities, and joint institutes and partnership programs. OAR
provides the scientific basis for national policy formulation in key
environmental areas, e.g., climate change, weather research, air
quality, stratospheric ozone depletion, marine biotechnology,
aquaculture, and environmental observing technologies. The NOAA-wide
programs also funded in OAR are Climate Change Research, Ocean
Exploration, and High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC).

National Weather Service (NWS).--These programs provide timely and
accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings,
forecasts, and planning information to ensure the safety of the
population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic
efficiency of the Nation. NWS is also responsible for issuing
operational climate forecasts for the United States. NWS data and
products form a national information database and infrastructure which
can be used by other government agencies, the private sector, the
public, and the global community. Funds are requested to implement air
quality forecasts, to support THORPEX, a Global Atmospheric Research
Program, and to meet out-year performance goals for weather warnings and
forecasts.

National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service.--
These programs provide for operation of environmental polar-orbiting and
geostationary satellites; for the collection and archiving of global
environmental data and information; and services for distribution to
users in commerce, industry, agriculture, science and engineering, the
general public and Federal, State and local agencies.

Program support.--These programs provide for overall NOAA management
including the NOAA Commissioned Corps, NOAA's share of the regional
Administrative Support Centers, and aircraft and marine data
acquisition.

Facilities.--This program provides for repair and maintenance to
existing facilities; facilities planning and design; and environmental
compliance.

Fleet maintenance and planning.--This program provides for the
repair and maintenance of vessels, including related equipment to
maintain the existing fleet and for the planning of future
modernization.

[[Page 220]]

Foreign Fishing Observer Fund.--This fund is financed through
collections from foreign vessel owners who fish within the U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone. Collections to the Fund are used by the
Secretary of Commerce to pay the salaries of observers and program
support personnel, the costs of data management, and analysis of the
observer program. The observers collect scientific information on the
foreign catch and monitor compliance with provisions of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 as amended.

Performance measures.--Activities under this account support NOAA's
four goals. Each goal has key supporting performance measures as
follows:

This account funds Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery for the purpose
of helping share the costs of State, Tribal and local conservation
initiatives. This account supports NOAA's contribution to a broad
interdepartmental initiative bolstering and deploying existing and new
Federal capabilities to assist in the conservation of at-risk Pacific
salmon runs in the western States of California, Oregon, Idaho,
Washington, and Alaska. The ratio for Federal to State and local
matching for these funds is three to one. In addition, funds would be
available to coastal tribes (not to exceed 10 percent) that

[[Page 222]]

do not require matching dollars. The account has been established under
existing authorities by the Secretary of Commerce and made available
through agreements with the Governors of each of the five States for
distribution to assist State, Tribal and local conservation efforts. The
Secretary will establish terms and conditions for the effective use of
the funds and specific reporting requirements appropriate for ensuring
full accountability of the available funds to meet the purpose of the
account.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 stipulates that sums recovered from
awards or settlements for natural resource damages to NOAA trust
resources shall be retained in a revolving trust account to permit NOAA
to carry out (1) oil and hazardous materials contingency planning and
response, (2) natural resource damage assessment, and (3) restoration or
replacement of injured or lost natural resources. For a comprehensive
description of the Prince William Sound Restoration Program, refer to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Natural Resource Damage Assessment
account. The 2004 and 2005 estimates transferred from other accounts are
preliminary and subject to change. NOAA will utilize funds transferred
to this account to respond to hazardous materials spills in the coastal
and marine environments, by conducting damage assessments, providing
scientific support during litigation, and using recovered damages to
restore injured resources.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers
the patent and trademark laws, which provide protection to inventors and
businesses for their inventions and corporate and product
identifications, and encourages innovation and the scientific and
technical advancement of American industry through the preservation,
classification, and dissemination of patent and trademark information.
In addition to the examination of applications for patent grants and
trademark registrations, the USPTO provides technical advice and
information to other Executive Branch agencies on intellectual property
matters and the trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights.

Under the Administration's proposal, the USPTO would have a program
level of $1,533 million in 2005 and fees of $1,533 million. The $1,533
million fee level assumes enactment of legislation, proposed with the
2004 Budget, to restructure statutory fees in support of the goals and
objectives of the USPTO's 21st Century Strategic Plan, including
proposed quality initiatives, E-Government initiatives, and acceleration
of patent processing.

During 2005, the Office will continue to operate through two
distinct business lines:

Patent business.--The Patent Business grants exclusive rights, for
limited times, to inventors for their discoveries. The activities under
this business include all functions in the patent application processing
pipeline, including the initial administrative examination of patent
applications, the processing of patent applications filed under the
Patent Cooperation Treaty, the formal examination of patent applications
to determine the patentability of a claimed invention, the post-
examination processing and printing of allowed patents, the review for
quality, and the quasi-judicial review in appeal and interference
proceedings. Other ancillary functions of the Patent Business are the
classification, documentation and search systems, and the maintenance of
a scientific and technical library.

Resources requested in 2005 are to continue with the implementation
of E-Government in Patents. Funds are also requested to begin
competitively sourcing classification and search functions currently
performed by patent examiners, thereby redirecting patent examiner
expertise to the core government function of examination. Additional
resources will be used to expand bilateral and multilateral agreements
to strengthen intellectual property rights globally and reduce
duplication of effort among intellectual property offices.

Key Patent Business performance measures follow. These measures
apply to the President's request of $1,533,407,000.

Trademark business.-- The Trademark Business enhances the protection
of trademarks through Federal registration. The activities under this
business include the examination of trademark applications to determine
whether the statutory criteria for the Federal registration of a trade
or service mark are met. The Office issues notices of allowance and
certificates of registration based on a trademark attorney's
determination. Trademark application examination activities also include
inter parte proceedings involving oppositions, cancellations and ex
parte proceedings.

The 2005 program level provides resources to fund 2005 trademark
programs and staff levels, including inflationary adjustments.
Additional funding is provided in 2005 to continue work focused on
achieving a fully electronic workplace to be completed in 2005 that will
improve timeliness and productivity in the trademark business.

The Administration proposed legislation with the 2004 Budget to
restructure USPTO's statutory fees charged for its products and
services. This legislation was proposed as part of USPTO's strategic
plan, developed in 2002, to address the growing backlogs, increasing
pendency, and need to improve the quality of its products. The Agency
determined that, in addition to improving the use of its current
resources, significant new investments were needed in automation and
examiner resources to address these concerns and meet current and future
requirements of the intellectual property community.

Relative to current law, the legislation is expected to raise fee
collections by $219 million in FY 2005. These additional funds will
provide sufficient resources to both allow the agency to implement its
strategic plan initiatives and transfer to the Office of Personnel
Management the accruing indirect personnel costs associated with post-
retirement health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits of
USPTO employees.

research, high caliber postdoctoral scientists and engineers, computing
support for research programs, business systems activities, and support
for the Advanced Measurement Laboratory facility.

Performance goals:

1. The NIST laboratories pursue two overarching goals: (1) provide
technical leadership for the Nation's measurement and standards
infrastructure; and (2) assure the availability and efficient transfer
of measurement and standards capabilities essential to established
industries. NIST evaluates its performance toward these goals through a
combination of evaluation methods, including external peer review
(conducted by the National Research Council), economic impact studies,
and evaluation of numerous scientific and technical outputs (key outputs
listed below).

2. Catalyze, recognize and reward quality and performance
improvement practices in U.S. businesses and other organizations.

technologies with significant commercial potential. ATP is a merit-
based, rigorously competitive, cost-shared partnership program that
provides assistance to U.S. businesses and joint R&D ventures to help
them improve their competitive position. The President's 2005 Budget
proposes to eliminate the program and, therefore, no funds are requested
for FY 2005.

Manufacturing extension partnership (MEP).--As a nationwide system
of centers serving clients in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, MEP's goal
is to improve the competitiveness of U.S.-based small manufacturers. MEP
does this by providing information, decision support, and implementation
assistance to small manufacturers in adopting advanced manufacturing
technologies and business best practices. The centers are created
through a partnership among State, Federal, and local governments,
educational institutions, and private industry, and they tailor services
to meet the needs of the local manufacturing base in the area.

Performance measures.--The activities under this account support the
Commerce strategic goal to foster science and technological leadership
by protecting intellectual property, enhancing technical standards and
advancing measurement science. The performance of these activities is
evaluated through a combination of external review, economic impact
studies, and evaluation of numerous quantitative outcomes and outputs.

Performance goals:

1. Accelerate private investment in and development of high-risk,
broad-impact technologies.

2. Raise the productivity and competitiveness of small
manufacturers.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration
(NTIA) is the principal executive branch adviser to the President on
domestic and international telecommunications policy. Additionally, it
manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and
performs extensive research in telecommunication sciences.

Domestic and international policies.--NTIA develops and advocates
policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications services and
markets. NTIA provides advice to White House officials, coordinates with
other Executive Branch agencies, and participates in relevant
Congressional actions and interagency and Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) proceedings on a host of issues. NTIA's focus is on
current and emerging issues such as the deployment of broadband networks
and services. NTIA develops policies promoting universal service to all
Americans, competition in telecommunications and information markets,
and development of new technologies. NTIA makes policy recommendations
in such areas as traditional common carrier networks, wireless services
and products, the mass media (including advanced television), as well as
issues arising from the Internet and electronic commerce.

NTIA advocates the advancement of U.S. priorities in the
international telecommunications policy and regulatory areas. NTIA will
continue to encourage forcefully the broad liberalization of
telecommunication regulations now taking hold across the globe that
create significant opportunities for U.S. telecommunications interests
and enterprises, including emphasis on the international development of
electronic commerce as an essential element of today's information
society. NTIA supports U.S. interests in international and regional fora
affecting telecommunications standards, infrastructure development and
market access. NTIA also represents Executive Branch concerns related to
international telecommunications regulation before the FCC. In
coordination with the Department of State and the FCC, the agency also
discharges statutory responsibilities with respect to international
satellite organizations.

Spectrum management.--NTIA manages the Federal Government's use of
the radio frequency spectrum, both domestically and internationally. In
coordination with the FCC and with the advice of the Interdepartment
Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC), NTIA supports the spectrum requirements
of the Federal Government, makes plans to satisfy the Government's
future spectrum needs, coordinates Federal spectrum requirements in
shared spectrum bands, and develops and implements policy to use the
spectrum effectively and efficiently. NTIA prepares for, participates
in, and implements the results of regional, national, and international
conferences on spectrum use and allocations. NTIA also is responsible
for emergency communications and Federal Government continuity of
operations planning for communications during emergency conditions. NTIA
coordinates its activities with the private sector through its spectrum
openness program and its Internet web site and apprises private sector
entities of Government spectrum use and rules and regulations governing
this use. NTIA reviews major Federal communications systems to certify
that spectrum will be available; conducts frequency band studies to
define spectrum issues and makes plans to prevent future interference;
and processes approximately 90,000 annual requests for frequency
assignments to meet the communications needs of the Federal Government
and support analysis and engineering aspects of spectrum management.
NTIA also strives to identify and apply new spectrum saving
technologies, identify adjacent band effects for use by designers of
future communications, and address the public safety community's need
for spectrum and interoperability at the Federal, State, and local
levels.

Telecommunication sciences research.--NTIA develops improved
spectrum measurement techniques to address the increasing use of
broadband technologies, including digital signals, spread-spectrum, and
frequency agile systems. NTIA supports the development of wireless
technologies by studying the behavior of broadband radio waves in indoor
and outdoor environments in order to create more accurate modeling of
radio propagation that will lead to improved methods of spectrum sharing
among users. Additionally, NTIA prepares and coordinates proposed
domestic and international telecommunications standards, develops and
demonstrates user-friendly ways to assess the performance of industry
and Government telecommunications networks, evaluates future
technologies that may facilitate competition in the U.S.
telecommunications industry, promotes international trade opportunities
for U.S. telecommunications firms and improves the cost effectiveness of
Government telecommunications use.

Performance measures.--Activities under this account support
Commerce's strategic goal of fostering science and technological
leadership by protecting intellectual property, en

[[Page 236]]

hancing technical standards, and advancing measurement science.

Goal: Ensure that allocation of radio spectrum provides the greatest
benefit to all people.

Spectrum Relocation Fund

The Administration will again propose legislation to streamline the
current process for reimbursing Federal agencies that must relocate from
Federal spectrum which has been reallocated for auction to commercial
users. Under current law, winning bidders must negotiate with Federal
entities upon the close of an auction and reimburse the agencies
directly for their relocation costs. The Administration proposes to
streamline this process by creating a central spectrum relocation fund.
Auction receipts associated with the reallocated spectrum would be paid
into the Fund and Federal agencies would be paid for their relocation
costs out of the Fund. To expedite the clearing of the auctioned
spectrum, the legislation would provide agencies mandatory spending
authority for the relocation payments. The estimated mandatory spending
is $2.5 billion from 2006 to 2011. The budget includes a Government-wide
allowance for the estimated aggregated collections and outlays for
agencies' relocation costs.

Section 313 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended, is further amended by adding
at the end thereof the following:
``(j) Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization.--
``(1) By not later than January 1, 2005, the Secretary shall
approve and hereafter implement by regulation the Voluntary Three-
Pie Cooperative Program for crab fisheries of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands approved by the North Pacific Fishery Management
Council between June 2002 and April 2003, and all trailing
amendments including those reported to Congress on May 6, 2003. This
section shall not preclude the Secretary from approving by January
1, 2005, and implementing any subsequent program amendments approved
by the Council.
``(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, in
carrying out paragraph (1) the Secretary shall approve all parts of
the Program referred to in such paragraph. Further, no part of such
Program may be implemented if, as approved by the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council, individual fishing quotas, processing
quotas, community development quota allocation, voluntary
cooperatives, binding arbitration, regional landing and processing
requirements, community protections, economic data collection, or
the loan program for crab fishing vessel captains and crew members,
is invalidated subject to a judicial determination not subject to
judicial appeal. If the Secretary determines that a processor has
leveraged its Individual Processor Quota shares to acquire a
harvesters open-delivery ``B shares'', the processor's Individual
Processor Quota shares shall be forfeited.
``(3) Subsequent to implementation pursuant to paragraph (1),
the Council may submit and the Secretary may implement changes to or
repeal of conservation and management measures, including measures
authorized in this section, for crab fisheries of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands in accordance with applicable law, including this
Act as amended by this subsection, to achieve on a continuing basis
the purposes identified by the Council.
``(4) The loan program referred to in paragraph (2) shall be
carried out pursuant to the authority of sections 1111 and 1112 of
title XI of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936 (46 U.S.C. App. 1279f,
1279g).
``(5) For purposes of implementing this section $1,000,000 shall
be made available each year until fully implemented from funds
otherwise made available to the National Marine Fisheries Service
for Alaska fisheries activities.
``(6) Nothing in this Act shall constitute a waiver, either
express or implied, of the antitrust laws of the United States. The
Secretary, in consultation with the Department of Justice and the
Federal Trade Commission, shall develop and implement a mandatory
information collection and review process to provide any and all
information necessary for the Department of Justice and the Federal
Trade Commission to determine whether any illegal acts of anti-
competition, anti-trust, or price collusion have occurred among
persons receiving individual processing quotas under the Program.
The Secretary may revoke any individual processing quota held by any
person found to have violated a provision of the antitrust laws of
the United States.
``(7) An individual processing quota issued under the Program
shall be considered a permit for the purposes of sections 307, 308,
and 309, and may be revoked or limited at any time in accordance
with this Act. Issuance of an individual processing quota under the
program shall not confer any right of compensation to the holder of
such individual processing quota if it is revoked or limited and
shall not create, or be construed to create, any right, title, or
interest in or to any fish before the fish is purchased from an
individual fishing quota holder.
``(8) The restriction on the collection of economic data in
section 303 shall not apply with respect to any fish processor who
is eligible for, or who has received, individual processing quota
under the Program. The restriction on the disclosure of information
in section 402(b)(1) shall not apply when the information is used to
determine eligibility for or compliance with an individual
processing quota program.
``(9) The provisions of sections 308, 310, and 311 shall apply
to the processing facilities and fish products of any person holding
individual processing quota, and the provisions of subparagraphs
(D), (E), and (L) of section 307(l) shall apply to any facility
owned or controlled by a person holding individual processing quota.

[Sec. 802. Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Demonstration Program. The
Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council, shall establish a pilot program that recognizes the
historic participation of fishing vessels (1996 to 2002, best 5 of 7
years) and historic participation of fish processors (1996 to 2000, best
4 of 5 years) for Pacific ocean perch, northern rockfish, and pelagic
shelf rockfish harvested in Central Gulf of Alaska. Such a pilot program
shall (1) provide for a set-aside of up to 5 percent for the total
allowable catch of such fisheries for catcher vessels not eligible to
participate in the pilot program, which shall be delivered to shore-
based fish processors not eligible to participate in the pilot program;
(2) establish catch limits for non-rockfish species and non-target
rockfish species currently harvested with pacific ocean perch, northern
rockfish, and pelagic shelf rockfish, which shall be based on historical

(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 ran

[[Page 243]]

dom sample and should not be considered representative of the larger

Act''.
(b)(1) The Congress finds that, despite the long-standing efforts
and resources of the United States dedicated to helping needy people
around the world, despair remains and in many areas is growing.
(2) Therefore, a commission should be established to bring together
the best minds associated with development and humanitarian assistance
to make a comprehensive review of--
(A) policy decisions, including why certain development projects
are funded and others are not, successes, and best practices,
including their applicability to other existing programs and
projects;
(B) delivery obstacles, including the roles of United States
agencies and other governmental and nongovernmental organizations;
(C) methodology, including whether the delivery of United States
development assistance always represents best practices and whether
it can be improved; and
(D) results, including measuring improvements in human capacity
instead of in purely economic terms.
(3) An examination of these issues should present new approaches and
ideas to ensure that United States development assistance reaches and
benefits its intended recipients.
(c)(1) There is established the Helping to Enhance the Livelihood of
People (HELP) Around the Globe Commission (in this section referred to
as the ``Commission'').

development assistance, identify cases in which those objectives
have been met, identify the beneficiaries of such assistance, and
what percentage of the funds provided actually reached the intended
beneficiaries;
(B) identify cases in which United States development assistance
has been most successful, and analyze how such successes may be
transferable to other countries or areas;

investments in people, and assess infrastructure needs;

governments in countries receiving United States development
assistance, in light of and notwithstanding the objectives of the

development assistance programs with those of other donor countries
and international organizations;
(F) analyze ways in which the safety of development assistance
workers can be ensured, particularly in the midst of conflicts;

development assistance, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages
of such trade and whether such trade could be a more effective
alternative to United States development assistance;
(H) analyze ways in which the United States can strengthen the
capacity of indigenous nongovernmental organizations to be more
effective in grassroots development;
(I) analyze ways in which decisions on providing development
assistance can involve more of the people of the recipient
countries;
(J) analyze ways in which results can be measured if United
States development assistance is targeted to the least developed
countries;
(K) recommend standards that should be set for ``graduating''
recipient countries from United States development assistance;
(L) analyze whether United States development assistance should
be used as a means to achieve United States foreign policy
objectives;
(M) analyze how the United States can evaluate the performance
of its development assistance programs not only against economic
indicators, but in other ways, including how to measure the success
of United States development assistance in democratization efforts;
and evaluate the existing foreign assistance framework to ascertain
the degree of coordination, or lack thereof, of the disparate
foreign development programs as administered by the various Federal
agencies, to identify and assess the redundancies of programs and
organizational structures engaged in foreign assistance, and to
recommend revisions to authorizing legislation for foreign
assistance that would seek to reconcile competing foreign policy and
foreign aid goals; and
(N) study any other areas that the Commission considers
necessary relating to United States development assistance.
