The Economic Development Administration Assistance Programs (EDAP).—The Economic Development Administration's (EDA) investments are administered through broad development assistance programs, which include: Build to Scale, Economic Adjustment Assistance, Local Technical Assistance, Planning, Public Works, Research and National Technical Assistance, STEM Apprenticeship Program, Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms, and University Centers. For 2023, EDA is requesting $50 million to establish a new program that will act as a pilot for grants to communities experiencing high prime-age employment gaps. EDA provides grants within each of these areas to generate or retain jobs, attract new industry and private sector investment, encourage business expansion, and serve as a backstop to sudden and severe economic impacts.
The Budget also proposes a cancellation of $10 million of unobligated and deobligated EDAP balances made available in prior years.

The Census Bureau has begun a multi-year process of transforming its organization and operations from a 20th century survey-centric model to a 21st century data-centric model that blends survey data with administrative and alternative digital data sources. To support this transformation, the Budget proposes a change to the Census Bureau's discretionary appropriations structure. The proposed structure combines the Current Surveys and Programs and the Periodic Censuses and Programs appropriations into a new, two-year appropriation entitled Censuses and Survey Programs.
This appropriation funds legislatively mandated economic and demographic surveys and censuses, and enterprise enabling programs that provide bureau-wide geographic information and data collection and dissemination systems and other authorized activities. Major programs include the current and periodic economic programs (including the monthly, quarterly, and annual economic surveys, and five-year economic census and census of governments), current demographic statistics programs, the American Community Survey, the decennial censuses, and enterprise enabling programs.
Economic Statistics Programs.—The Current Economic Statistics programs provide public and private sector data users with relevant, accurate, and timely national statistical profiles of every sector of the U.S. economy to enable governments and businesses to make informed decisions. The Economic Census and the Census of Governments programs are integral to the Bureau of Economic Analysis' estimates of gross domestic product, industry inputs and outputs, and the economic activities of more than 90,000 state and local governments. Together, these programs measure the structure and functioning of the U.S. economy. In 2023, the Census Bureau will expand its capacity to measure the economic and societal impacts of significant events or public policy challenges, advance measures of manufacturing activity, improve measures of state and local tax revenues, and modernize measures of the construction sector. The request for current economics sustains and expands new business formation statistics and measures new entrepreneurial activity, including production of more detailed, sub-national data. The Bureau will also conduct the major data collection, check-in, and data capture operations for the 2022 Economic Census, including agricultural services and following-up with non-responding business establishments. The Census Bureau will collect data for the Finance Component of the Census of Governments and continue to implement system improvements for more effective data editing strategies to increase efficiencies in data processing.
Demographic Statistics Programs.—The Current Demographic Statistics programs conduct surveys and data analyses to provide social and economic information on monthly, quarterly, and annual bases that policymakers and others need to make effective policy and program decisions. The American Community Survey (ACS) provides current demographic, social, economic, and housing information about America's communities, from the largest cities to the smallest rural communities. In 2023, the Census Bureau will research and test new content on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. Additionally, the Census Bureau will formalize the Community Resilience Estimates program that began during the pandemic, moving from a purely pandemic focused program toward other disasters. The request also supports an increase reflecting the rising costs of collecting data for the Current Population Survey (CPS) and, in coorindation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, researching innovative approaches to generating estimates about smaller population groups. The request will also support improved global demographic and economic statistics. Finally, the Census Bureau will develop and test an internet self-response instrument for CPS.
Decennial Census.—In 2023, the Census Bureau will release its final data products, evaluations, and assessments for the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau will continue building off successful innovations and management practices developed for the 2020 Census, developing a 2030 Census design through its program of research and testing, capitalizing on innovations, such as the way that the address list is developed and maintained, using administrative records as a source of data for enumeration, and making field operations more efficient.
Enterprise Enabling Programs.—The Enterprise Enabling Programs support Census Bureau surveys and censuses with data collection, management, processing, and dissemination systems and capabilities as well as the geographic data that underpin the Census Bureau's programs. In 2023, these programs will enhance data collection capabilities; support expanding use of administrative records to improve sample survey operations, data quality, and data products; provide the Federal government with increased capacity to make data-driven decisions, deliver all data products for the 2020 Census, American Community Survey, Economic Census, and other major programs, and expand efforts to provide disclosure protection and modernize data storage and data analysis capabilities across all of the Census Bureau's programs. Additionally, the Geographic Support program provides the geographic data integral to censuses, surveys, and data products. These include address lists, geospatial data products and systems, and full-count data on persons, places, and the economy. The Budget includes an increase to maintain the geographic innovations made possible by the 2020 Census as a suite of evergreen products and services and transitions the Boundary and Annexation Survey and In-Office Address Canvassing from 2020 Census to provide these capabilities on a continuing basis for all Census Bureau programs. The Budget also supports expanded research on racial and ethnic inequality and creation of an enterprise partnership program that leverages 2020 Census partnerships and benefits all Census Bureau programs.

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).—BEA, a principal Federal statistical agency, promotes a better understanding of the U.S. economy by providing timely, relevant, and accurate economic data in an objective and cost-effective manner. BEA's national, regional, and international economic statistics present crucial information on key issues such as U.S. economic growth, regional economic development, inter-industry relationships, and the Nation's position in the world economy. These key statistics provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy and affect decisions related to interest and exchange rates, tax and budget projections, and business investment plans. The statistics are used by Federal, State, and local governments for budget development and projections and to support the allocation of over $500 billion in Federal funds. The statistics are also used by the American public to follow and understand the performance of the Nation's economy. Some of the Bureau's widely used statistical measures include national measures of gross domestic product (GDP), personal income and outlays, corporate profits, balance of payments, GDP by county, state, and industry. BEA also publishes sector specific statistics on areas such as healthcare, outdoor recreation and arts and culture. BEA's strategic vision is to remain the world's most respected producer of economic accounts.

The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment and to conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social, and environmental needs.
NOAA executes programs and activities to achieve its mission through seven line activities:
National Ocean Service (NOS).—NOS programs work to promote safe navigation; assess and restore the health of coastal and marine resources; improve coastal communities' resilience to extreme weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions and uses; and conserve the coastal and ocean environment.
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).—NMFS programs provide for the management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources including fish stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species and their habitats within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).—OAR programs provide climate, weather, air chemistry, ocean and coastal research and technology with applications across NOAA's mission. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and cooperative institutes and partnership programs.
National Weather Service (NWS).—NWS programs provide timely and accurate meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the population, minimize property losses, and improve the economic productivity of the Nation.
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS).—NESDIS operates polar orbiting and geostationary satellites, and collects and archives global environmental data and information for distribution to private and public sector users.
Mission Support.—Mission Support provides management and administrative support for NOAA, including acquisition and grant administration, budget, accounting functions, and human resources.
Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO).—OMAO provides aircraft and marine data acquisition, fleet repair and maintenance, and operations that provide technical and management support for NOAA-wide activities.

Under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Act Section 304(d)(2)(A), NMFS must collect a fee to recover the incremental costs of management, data collection, and enforcement of Limited Access Privilege (LAP) Programs. Funds collected under this authority are deposited into the Limited Access System Administrative Fund. Fees shall not exceed three percent of the ex-vessel value of fish harvested under any such program, and shall be collected at either the time of the landing, filing of a landing report, or sale of such fish during a fishing season or in the last quarter of the calendar year in which the fish is harvested. The Limited Access Administration Fund shall be available, without appropriation or fiscal year limitation, only for the purposes of administering the central registry system and administering and implementing the Magnuson-Stevens Act in the fishery in which the fees were collected. Sums in the fund that are not currently needed for these purposes shall be kept on deposit or invested in obligations of, or guaranteed by the U.S. Also, in establishing a LAP program, a Regional Council can consider, and may provide, if appropriate, an auction system or other program to collect royalties for the initial or any subsequent distribution of allocations. If an auction system is developed, revenues from these royalties are deposited in the Limited Access System Administration Fund.

Section 311(e)(1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to pay certain enforcement-related expenses from fines, penalties and forfeiture proceeds received for violations of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, or of any other marine resource law enforced by the Secretary. Pursuant to this authority, NOAA has established a Civil Monetary Penalty/Asset Forfeiture Fund (AFF) where proceeds are deposited. When Congress authorized the AFF, it was deemed appropriate to use these proceeds to offset in part the costs of administering the enforcement program. Expenses funded through this source include: costs directly related to the storage, maintenance, and care of seized fish, vessels, or other property during a civil or criminal proceeding; expenditures related directly to specific investigations and enforcement proceedings such as travel for interviewing witnesses; enforcement-unique information technology infrastructure; and annual interagency agreement costs for the administration, adjudication process, including Administrative Law Judges.

The Fishermen's Contingency Fund is authorized under Section 402 of Title IV of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act Amendments of 1978. NOAA compensates U.S. commercial fishermen for damage or loss of fishing gear, vessels, and resulting economic loss caused by obstructions related to oil and gas exploration, development, and production in any area of the Outer Continental Shelf. The funds used to provide this compensation are derived from fees collected by the Secretary of the Interior from the holders of leases, exploration permits, easements, or rights-of-way in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. This activity is funded entirely through user fees. Disbursements can be made only to the extent authorized in appropriation acts.

Fishery disaster assistance is administered by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service within the Department of Commerce. Two statutes, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act, provide the authority for fishery disaster assistance. Under both statutes, a request for a fishery disaster determination is generally made by the Governor of a State, or an elected leader of a fishing community, although the Secretary of Commerce may also initiate a review at his or her own discretion. The Secretary determines whether the circumstances are consistent with relevant statutes and warrant a fishery disaster determination. If the Secretary determines that a fishery disaster has occurred, the fishery is eligible for disaster assistance subject to appropriation of funds by Congress.

In 2013, the North Pacific Observer Fund was established to support the restructured North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program (NPGOP). The observer program places all vessels and processors in the groundfish and halibut fisheries off Alaska into one of two observer coverage categories: (1) a full coverage category, and (2) a partial coverage category. Vessels and processors in the full coverage category (100% observer coverage) will obtain observers by contracting directly with observer providers. Vessels and processors in the partial coverage category (less than 100% observer coverage) will no longer contract independently with an observer provider, and will be required to carry an observer when they are selected through the Observer Declare and Deploy System (ODDS). Additionally, landings from all vessels in the partial coverage category will be assessed a 1.25 percent fee on standard ex-vessel prices of the landed catch weight of groundfish and halibut to be deposited in the North Pacific Observer Fund. The fee percentage is set in regulation and will be reviewed periodically by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. The money generated by this fee will be used to pay for observer coverage on the vessels and processors in the partial coverage category in the following year.

The Damage Assessment and Restoration Revolving Fund is authorized under Section 1012(a) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, for the deposit of sums provided by any party or governmental entity to respond to the environmental effects of discharges of oil and other hazardous substances. Through the Revolving Fund, NOAA retains funds that are recovered through settlement or awarded by a court for the assessment and restoration of injured natural resources. NOAA also ensures deposited funds shall remain available to the trustee, without further appropriation, until expended to pay costs associated with the response, damage assessment, and restoration of natural resources.
These program functions are conducted jointly within NOAA by the Office of General Counsel, the National Ocean Service, and the National Marine Fisheries Service.

The Fisheries Finance Program (FFP) is a national loan program that makes long-term fixed-rate financing available to U.S. citizens who otherwise qualify for financing or refinancing of the reconstruction, reconditioning, and, in some cases, the purchasing of fishing vessels, shoreside processing, aquaculture, and mariculture facilities. The FFP also provides fishery-wide financing to ease the transition to sustainable fisheries through its fishing capacity reduction programs and provides financial assistance in the form of loans to fishermen who fish from small vessels and entry-level fishermen to promote stability and reduce consolidation in already rationalized fisheries. Additionally, FFP can provide loans for fisheries investments of Native American Community Development Quota groups.
The FFP operates under the authority of Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended; Section 303(a) of the Sustainable Fisheries Act amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Act; and, from time to time FFP-specific legislation. The overriding guideline for all FFP financings is that they cannot contribute or be construed to contribute to an increase in existing fish harvesting.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST is authorized by the NIST Organic Act (15 U.S.C. 271), which outlines major roles for NIST in promoting national competitiveness and innovation. For more than 110 years, NIST has maintained the national standards of measurement, a role that the U.S. Constitution assigns to the Federal Government to ensure fairness in the marketplace. NIST was founded in 1901 and is one of the nation's oldest physical science laboratories. Today, the NIST Laboratory Programs, which is funded by the Scientific and Technical Research and Services (STRS) appropriation, work at the frontiers of measurement science to ensure that the U.S. system of measurements is firmly grounded on sound scientific and technical principles. The NIST Laboratories address increasingly complex measurement challenges, ranging from the very small (quantum devices for sensing and advanced computing) to the very large (vehicles and buildings), and from the physical infrastructure to the virtual (cybersecurity and the internet of things). As new technologies develop and evolve, NIST's measurement research and services remain critical to national defense, homeland security, trade, and innovation. The 2023 request includes program increases for measurement research and services for the following areas: Advanced Communications Research and Standards; Climate and Energy Measurements, Tools, and Testbeds; Measurements for the Circular Economy; Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Centric Challenges; Quantum Information Science, Engineering, and Metrology; Strengthening Equity and Diversity in the Standards Workforce; Supporting the American Bioeconomy, Cybersecurity (Supply Chain, 5G and Beyond, Identify Management); NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) Controls and Corrective Actions; Public Safety Communications Research Accelerator; Measurement Services Modernization; Standards for Critical and Emerging Technologies; and iEdison. The 2023 total Budget request for STRS is $975.0 million.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is the principal Executive Branch adviser on domestic and international telecommunications and Internet policy. NTIA also manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and performs extensive research in telecommunication sciences. The Budget: (1) continues to provide spectrum assignment and analysis support to Federal agencies; (2) supports NTIA's responsibilities under the Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2015 and MOBILE NOW Act (2018) to help identify additional federal spectrum to be shared or reallocated for commercial use.
The Budget proposes to increase the Public Safety Communications program by $4 million to transition statutory, delegated, and other key public safety communications activities from mandatory accounts (which expire on September 30, 2022) to annual appropriations within NTIA's Salaries and Expenses. NTIA is faced with sunsetting resources, but the requirements to perform these functions remain.
NTIA plays a critical role within the federal government in developing and driving adoption of market-based, risk-based cybersecurity guidelines to improve the private sectors cyber-security resilience. In support of this, the Budget proposes an increase to the Domestic and International Policies program by $2 million to build additional program capacity and bolster expertise.
