Bill Totals
The President's fiscal year 2010 budget request for
activities funded in the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act totals $64,637,341,000 in new
obligation authority, of which $222,300,000 is for mandatory
programs. The amounts recommended by the Committee in the
accompanying bill total $64,415,041,000, $197,270,000 below the
budget request and $6,763,530,000 above the sums available to
the departments and agencies funded in this bill for fiscal
year 2009, excluding emergency supplemental appropriations.
Committee Budget Review Process
During its review of the fiscal year 2010 budget request
and execution of appropriations for fiscal year 2009, the
Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related
Agencies held a total of 24 budget hearings. The Subcommittee
received testimony from Members of Congress and some 68 outside
witnesses. In addition, officials from the Administration
representing the departments and agencies funded in this bill
testified before the Subcommittee. This year, in particular,
the Subcommittee focused a series of hearings on investments
for all facets of the science enterprise, climate science and
mitigation, as well as prisoner reentry programs, recidivism
reduction, and criminal justice reform.
In developing its recommendations, the Committee has drawn
upon work and analysis of the Government Accountability Office,
the Congressional Research Service, offices of Inspectors
General, the National Academies and the Committee's own surveys
and investigations staff. The Committee appreciates the
assistance and contributions of the men and women of these
organizations.
Overview
INVESTMENTS IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Regaining our economic strength is critical to our national
security. In order to improve the economic condition and to
ensure long-term American prosperity, investments in science
and technology are required and will underpin future economic
growth. As clearly stated in the Rising Above the Gathering
Storm report of the National Academy of Sciences, healthy
levels of investment in scientific research are the key to
long-term economic growth that exceeds population growth. These
investments improve the quality of life for all Americans and
improve our national security.
The America Competes Act (Public Law 110-69) authorized
major increases in funding for the National Science Foundation
(NSF), the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), and the Department of Energy Office of Science. This
legislation has led to major funding increases for these
programs in both Public Law 111-8, the Omnibus Appropriations
Act for 2009, and Public Law 111-5, the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA). However, missing from this plan of
increased investments in science and technology funding are
critical elements of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), which equally support the science
enterprise of our Nation. In testimony before the Subcommittee,
both Dr. Ralph Cicerone and Dr. Lennard Fisk noted that NASA's
science activities and NOAA research are not markedly different
or less important than other science disciplines funded by the
NSF and NIST, and that there was little reason for their
exclusion from the doubling path envisioned in the America
Competes Act. The Subcommittee recommendation considers the
robust budget requests for those activities authorized in the
America Competes Act in this context; accordingly, the
Subcommittee provides appropriate increases for NSF and NIST,
while also providing appropriate and necessary increases for
critical science activities of NASA and NOAA. These agencies,
collectively, underpin our Nation's science enterprise, and
their collective research investment addresses the clear
national needs.
While the economy is the major crisis confronting our
Nation today, climate change is a longer lasting threat to our
future well being. Through congressional testimony and numerous
research papers, the science community has made clear that
anthropogenic climate change has begun. The 40 percent increase
in emissions of greenhouse gases since 1990 is accelerating
these changes, and as the world economy recovers, these
emissions will grow further. While other legislation currently
under consideration by the House addresses mitigation, the
responsibility for observing, understanding, predicting, and
monitoring climate change falls primarily to NOAA, NSF, and
NASA--which are funded in this appropriations bill--and the
United States Geological Service.
For the U.S. Government, NOAA leads the U.S. efforts in
climate study and has begun to form a National Climate Service
that will work in federation with other U.S. federal agencies
and nations. NOAA's responsibility will continue to include
long-term observations from space and ground-based systems but
will also extend beyond NOAA's traditional role in weather and
predictions of climate. While NOAA's climate products and
services must guide and monitor mitigation, adaptation will be
required. NOAA requires increased resources to implement the
National Climate Service and mitigate the risks to the
operational satellite observing systems in polar and
geostationary orbits. The Subcommittee recommendation endorses
and advances these critical efforts.
The Subcommittee recommendation also supports the work of
the NSF and NASA in climate change study and mitigation. NSF
supports significant research in a broad range of research on
climate change and critical continuing observations through its
long-term ecological research sites and oceanographic cruises.
While NSF funding has been growing over the past several years,
Earth science funding at NASA has decreased more than one-third
during the past eight years. NASA's Earth science programs and
activities seek to understand how Earth is changing and
determine the consequences of those changes for life on our
planet. Restoring the Earth science budget continues to be a
priority for the Subcommittee.
PRISONER REENTRY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM
In 1974, American Sociologist Robert Martinson co-authored
a report concluding that rehabilitative efforts had little
impact on reducing recidivism, and that report formed the basis
of a school of thought referred to as ``nothing works.'' The
``nothing works'' concept has informed much of this country's
approach to criminal justice over the following decades, as the
Federal and State governments came to rely on lengthy
incarceration and truth-in-sentencing at the expense of
rehabilitation. The result has been an increasing number of
Americans under some form of criminal justice supervision.
According to the Pew Center on the States, the number of
people imprisoned in the United States grew by approximately
three percent per year between 1995 and 2005, compared to an
overall population growth rate of one percent. In March 2009,
the Pew Center on the States released a report stating that the
incarcerated population in the United States in 2008 reached
2.3 million, meaning that one in 100 adults was in prison or
jail. In addition, according to that report, one in 31
Americans (7.3 million) in 2008 was under some form of
correctional supervision--either in jail, on probation, or
under some form of supervised release--compared to one in 77 in
the early 1980s. The tables have turned, and it is now clear
that a primarily punitive approach to criminal justice does not
work. Moreover, the Federal and State governments can no longer
afford a criminal justice approach that is not based on clear
evidence about what does work.
More recent research, referred to as ``what works,'' has
largely debunked the conclusion that rehabilitation programs
are ineffective. The determinative factor in whether
rehabilitation is successful is whether it is evidence-based,
fully implemented, and whether it coordinates a full complement
of rehabilitative services designed to meet the needs of
individual offenders, including drug abuse treatment,
vocational training, and educational services. Drug abuse
treatment is particularly important because reducing the
cravings associated with addiction is a prerequisite for
allowing an offender to make productive use of other
rehabilitation services and other opportunities for becoming
productive members of society.
The Subcommittee conducted seven hearings focused on the
challenges facing offenders as they reenter communities,
programs that facilitate reentry and reduce recidivism, and the
state of research on ``what works'' for offender reentry. An
eighth hearing focused on efforts by many states to reform
fundamentally their criminal justice systems in a way that
responsibly reduces prison populations while reinvesting a
portion of the associated savings on services to prevent crime
and reduce recidivism.
Witness testimony from researchers, practitioners, and
corrections officials formed a consensus that insufficient
resources and attention are currently invested, at both the
Federal and State levels, in evidence-based strategies for
employing alternatives to incarceration; helping offenders
transition back to society following incarceration; and
reducing recidivism. As a result, State and Federal prison
populations continue to grow at an unsustainable rate, with
many of the same offenders being repeatedly recycled through
the country's prisons at great expense to the taxpayer.
Resources provided in this bill are intended to spur and
support evidence-based strategies and programs, at both the
Federal and State levels, to reduce recidivism and improve the
criminal justice system.
Major Themes and Initiatives
The bill recommends funding for a diverse set of essential
government activities that address the present needs of our
country and economy while preparing for and investing in our
future as a Nation.
Addressing law enforcement priorities.--In total, the bill
provides in excess of $26,861,981,000 for law enforcement
activities, an increase of $1,595,043,000 over the 2009 enacted
level. Investments recommended by the Committee provide for:
more than $585,000,000 to enhance and expand
national security programs at the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau
of Prisons and others;
$62,600,000 in new funding to address white
collar crime, including corporate fraud and tax
evasion, and return resources to the Federal fisc;
$23,700,000 in new funds to reinvigorate and
expand civil rights enforcement against racial, ethnic,
sexual preference, religious and gender discrimination;
$3,423,988,000 for grants to state and local
law enforcement agencies, including $298,000,000 to put
new police officers on the beat and $100,000,000 for
ex-offender reentry initiatives;
$70,600,000 for new correctional officer
staffing at Federal prisons to improve the safety and
security of inmates and guards; and
$345,900,000 in new Department-wide
activities to safeguard the southwest border, address
Mexican cartel violence and support activities of the
Department of Homeland Security.
Science and technology.--The Committee recommendation
includes $30,571,851,000 to support investments in science and
technology, including science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) education, an increase of $1,049,255,000
over last year. The Committee bill provides:
$6,936,510,000 for the National Science
Foundation, an increase of 6.9 percent over the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level, which maintains NSF on a
doubling path. Within this level, $862,900,000 is
recommended for education programs of NSF, such as
Noyce Scholarships, the math and science partnership
program, and support for hands-on, inquiry-based
instruction;
$18,203,300,000 for NASA, an increase of
$421,915,000 over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
Investments in NASA contribute to economic vitality,
science and technology, national security and an
improved quality of life. Within the funds recommended
for NASA, over $500,000,000 is provided for critical
investments in aeronautics research and development to
maintain U.S. leadership in aeronautics, to plan for
and implement the Next Generation Air Transportation
System and to invest in ``green'' aircraft
technologies. Further, over $175,000,000 is recommended
for education programs, an increase of nearly
$50,000,000 over the request;
more than $4,600,000,000 for activities of
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an
increase of $237,745,000 over the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and $129,125,000 over the budget request.
Within the funds recommended for NOAA, nearly
$400,000,000 is provided for climate change research;
regional climate assessments; enhanced modeling
capabilities; ocean observations and coral reef
conservation; climate data records, and data access and
archiving; and a more robust education program focused
on climate, including the transition of the GLOBE
program from NASA to NOAA. Full funding is also
provided for acquisition, construction and operations
of the GOES-R, NPOESS and NPP satellites, and Jason 3,
which will provide sea surface elevation and ocean
circulation measurements. Within the recommendation,
the requested increase of $56,500,000 for Magnuson-
Stevens Reauthorization Act activities to end
overfishing by 2012 is fully funded. Funding is
provided above the request in areas of critical need
such as protected species recovery, habitat restoration
and coastal and estuarine land conservation.
over $781,000,000 for the National Institute
of Standards and Technology, which includes an 8
percent increase for science research and technical
services over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
Within the recommendation, $124,700,000 is provided for
the Manufacturing Extension Partnerships program and
$69,900,000 for the Technology Innovation Program, the
same as the request, which leverage private funds to
invest in research and development and improve
manufacturing productivity and job creation.
increases above the budget request to
strengthen NSF, NOAA and NASA education programs. The
Committee recognizes that sustained enhancement of the
scientific and technical capability of the American
workforce requires more than increased support for
research and graduate education. Investments must be
made in effective STEM education for students in grades
K-12 in both formal and informal settings.
Global climate change and sustainability.--The Committee
has provided over $2,000,000,000 in resources to address the
reality of global warming climate change and its effect on
Earth's environments, over $120,000,000 over the fiscal year
2009 enacted level. Specifically, the bill provides:
nearly $1,300,000,000 in climate change
programs at NASA, including nearly $150,000,000 to
develop and demonstrate space-based climate
measurements identified by the National Academy of
Sciences and the science community;
nearly $400,000,000 for the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, of which more than
$200,000,000 is to enhance climate change research and
regional assessments; $90,000,000 enhances climate data
records and data access and archiving requirements; and
$29,300,000 is for climate change educational programs;
nearly $310,000,000 for climate change
programs at the National Science Foundation;
over $52,000,000 for educational programs
directed at climate change as recommended by the
National Academy of Sciences;
at least $25,000,000 for ``green'' building
initiatives within the Economic Development
Administration;
$14,500,000 for greenhouse gas emission
standards development by the National Institute for
Standards and Technology; and
additional resources above the request to
enhance the protection of endangered and threatened
species, increase habitat restoration and coastal and
estuarine land conservation, and monitor mammal
adaptation to climate change.

TERMINATIONS, REDUCTIONS AND OTHER SAVINGS
In order to invest in the critical priorities identified in
this bill, and in an effort to build an economy on a solid
foundation for growth and put the Nation on a path toward
prosperity, the Committee has proposed herein a number of
program terminations, reductions and other savings from the
fiscal year 2009 level totaling over $1.3 billion. In addition,
over $1 billion in other program terminations, reductions and
other savings from the budget request are recommended. These
adjustments, no matter their size, are important to setting the
right priorities within the spending allocation, for getting
the deficit under control, and creating a government that is as
efficient as it is effective.
Reprogramming and Spending Plan Procedures
The reprogramming process is based on comity between the
Congress and the Executive branch. This process is intended to
provide departments and agencies sufficient flexibility to meet
changing circumstances and emergent requirements not known at
the time of Congressional review of the budget, while
preserving Congressional priorities and intent. In the absence
of comity and respect for the prerogatives of Congress, the
Committee may choose to restrict further or eliminate
reprogramming authority. Under such circumstances, programs,
projects and activities become more strictly defined and the
executive branch loses its ability to propose changes in the
use of appropriated funds.
The Committee expects that each department and agency
funded in this Act shall follow the directions set forth in
this Act and the accompanying report, and shall not reallocate
resources or reorganize activities except as provided herein.
Reprogramming procedures shall apply to funds provided in this
Act, unobligated balances from previous appropriations Acts
that are available for obligation or expenditure in fiscal year
2010, and non-appropriated resources such as fee collections
that are used to meet program requirements in fiscal year 2010.
In reiterating the Committee's reprogramming procedures here,
which are codified as section 505 of this Act, the Committee
expects that the Appropriations Subcommittees on the
Departments of Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies
of the House and Senate will be notified by letter a minimum of
15 days prior to--
(1) reprogramming of funds, whether permanent or
temporary, in excess of $500,000 or 10 percent,
whichever is less, between programs or activities. This
provision is also applicable in cases where several
activities are involved with each receiving less than
$500,000. In addition, the Committee is to be notified
of reprogramming actions which are less than these
amounts if such actions would have the effect of
committing the agency to significant funding
requirements in future years;
(2) increasing funds or personnel by any means for
any project or activity for which funds have been
denied or restricted;
(3) relocating offices or employees;
(4) reorganizing offices, programs, or activities;
(5) contracting out or privatizing any functions or
activities presently performed by Federal employees; or
(6) proposing to use funds directed for a specific
activity by either the House or the Senate for a
different purpose.
Furthermore, the reprogramming authorities do not allow the
obligation of funds to create or initiate any new program,
project or activity.
Any reprogramming request shall include any out-year
budgetary impacts and a separate accounting of program or
mission impacts on estimated carryover funds. No changes shall
be made to any program, project or activity, except as provided
by the Committee, if it is to be construed to be a change in
policy. Any program, project or activity cited in the reports
of the House or Senate accompanying this Act or the conference
agreement shall be construed as the position of the Committee
and shall not be subject to reductions or reprogramming without
prior approval of the Committee. The Committee further expects
any department or agency funded in this Act which plans a
reduction-in-force to notify by letter the Appropriations
Committees of the House and Senate 30 days in advance of the
date of any such planned personnel action.
The Committee notes that when a department or agency
submits a reprogramming or transfer request to the
Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate and does not
receive identical responses from the House and Senate, it shall
be the responsibility of the department or agency seeking the
reprogramming to reconcile the differences between the two
bodies before proceeding. If reconciliation is not possible,
the items in disagreement in the reprogramming or transfer
request shall be considered unapproved.
Lastly, the Committee directs the Departments of Commerce
and Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
and the National Science Foundation to submit spending plans,
signed by the respective department or agency head, for the
Committee's review within 120 days of enactment of this Act.

\1\Includes $9,439,000 in offsetting fee collections.
The mission of the International Trade Administration 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.
The Committee recommendation includes $444,504,000 in total
resources for the programs of the International Trade
Administration (ITA) for fiscal year 2010, which is $14,634,000
above the fiscal year 2009 level and provides for the agency's
highest priorities.
The Committee understands the difficulties of attempting to
balance the positive and negative effects of a free trade
agenda. The Committee is determined to ensure that the United
States Government upholds its responsibility to enforce trade
laws, particularly with China. If trading partners do not abide
by the rules that are set in the global trading system, United
States firms are unable to compete on a level playing field.
The United States Government has an obligation to ensure that
U.S. companies are not forced to compete with foreign companies
that are engaged in unfair trading practices.
The Committee continues to direct ITA to submit to the
Committee, not later than 60 days after the enactment of this
Act, a spending plan for all ITA units that incorporates any
carryover balances from prior fiscal years and expects this
plan to be updated to reflect the obligation of funds on a
quarterly basis.
Import Administration.--This program 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.
The Committee urges the ITA to implement proactive trade
enforcement activities, including textile safeguard actions
with respect to China's World Trade Organization Accession
Agreement, bilateral quotas on non-WTO members, and textile
provision of the United States preferential programs and
agreements.
China Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duty Activities.--The
Committee recommendation designates funding of no less than
$7,000,000 for the Office of China Compliance, and no less than
$4,400,000 for the China Countervailing Duty Group within
Import Administration. The Office of China Compliance is
dedicated to the enforcement of anti-dumping law with respect
to China and other non-market economy countries. The Committee
expects to be notified of any impediments to hiring or
retaining the required staff expertise to conduct this work.
The China Countervailing Duty Group was established in fiscal
year 2009 to accommodate the workload that has resulted from
the application of countervailing duty law to imports from non-
market economy countries. The Committee also encourages ITA to
allocate additional resources above the request to the
activities of both these offices.
Market Access and Compliance (MAC).--The Committee
continues to support the efforts of the ITA to enforce trade
agreements aggressively. MAC develops strategies to overcome
market access obstacles faced by U.S. businesses by monitoring
foreign country compliance with multilateral and bilateral
trade-related agreements and identifying compliance and other
market access obstacles.
Manufacturing and Services.--This program focuses on both
the domestic and international aspects of U.S. industrial
competitiveness by working with U.S. industries to evaluate the
needs of the U.S. manufacturing and service sectors; conducting
economic and regulatory analysis to strengthen U.S. industry;
obtaining input and advice from U.S. industries for trade
policy setting; and participating, as appropriate, with ITA
trade policy and negotiation advancement initiatives.
Executive Direction and Administration.--These programs
provide policy leadership, information technology (IT) support
and administration services for all of ITA. Executive Direction
includes the Office of the Under Secretary for International
Trade and subordinate offices covering Legislative and
Intergovernmental Affairs, Public Affairs, and the Office of
the Chief Information Officer.
Trade promotion and the U.S. & Foreign Commercial
Service.--The Commercial Service conducts 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; offers export
assistance through information, referral and follow-up services
through its integrated global field network; ensures adequate
support for compliance and leads interagency advocacy efforts
for major overseas projects, including early involvement in
project development and assistance to resolve post-export
transaction problems.
Travel expenditures.--The Committee expects the Department
to submit quarterly reports to the Committee regarding ITA's
travel expenditures, including separate breakouts of funding,
number of trips and the purposes of travel to both China and
India.
Human rights training.--An understanding and appreciation
of human rights issues and impacts is essential to the pursuit
of international trade and commercial opportunities. The
Committee continues to support ITA's efforts to ensure that
American commercial officers and locally-engaged staff receive
training on human rights. The Committee expects ITA to devote
no less than $500,000 for such training to ensure that, when
counseling U.S. businesses on market conditions with a
particular country, employees include information on human
rights, rule of law, and corporate responsibility. In addition,
ITA shall report to the Committee sixty days after the
enactment of this Act with an annual human rights training
plan.
Facilitating exports with the People's Republic of China.--
Not later than 45 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the Committee on
Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives a
report on the status of the current program and the feasibility
of providing additional assistance to small- and medium-sized
businesses in the United States for purposes of facilitating
exports of United States goods to the People's Republic of
China (the PRC). The report shall incude, but is not limited to
the Department's ability to provide small- and medium-sized
businesses with: (1) assistance to find and utilize Federal and
private resources to facilitate entering into the market of the
PRC; (2) continuous direct and personal contact with businesses
that have entered the market of the PRC; (3) assistance to
resolve disputes with the Government of the United States or
the PRC relating to intellectual property rights violations,
export restrictions, and additional trade barriers; (4) the
location and recruitment of businesses to enter the market of
the PRC; (5) trade missions to the PRC; and (6) consolidation
of fees charged by the Department for Gold Key matching
services provided for businesses that export goods or services
produced in the United States to more than one market in the
PRC. The report shall include cost estimates for any additional
services not currently provided, the effect of any fee
reductions, and the number of additional personnel required.
Within the appropriation, $3,715,000 is provided for the
following activities:
Bureau of Industry and Security
OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $83,676,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 100,342,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 100,342,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +16,666,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The mission of the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is
to advance U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic
objectives by ensuring an effective export control and treaty
compliance system and promoting continued U.S. strategic
technology leadership.
The Committee recommends $100,342,000 for BIS, which is
$16,666,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the same as
the budget request. Of the amount provided, $14,767,000 is for
inspections and other activities related to national security.
The recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the cyber espionage
and system modernization initiative and $1,800,000 for the WMD
and IED nonproliferation initiative.
Management and Policy Coordination (MPC).--The Management
and Policy Coordination program supports all Bureau performance
goals. MPC develops, analyzes, and coordinates policy
initiatives within BIS and on an interagency basis.
Export Administration (EA).--The Export Administration
carries out BIS programs related to export control regulations,
export licenses, treaty compliance, treaty obligations relating
to weapons of mass destruction, and the defense industrial and
technology base to meet national security needs. EA regulates
the export of dual-use items determined to require export
licenses for reasons of national security, nonproliferation,
foreign policy, or short supply; ensures that approval or
denial of license applications is consistent with U.S. economic
and security concerns; promotes an understanding of export
control regulations within the business community; represents
the Department in interagency and international fora relating
to export controls, particularly multilateral regimes; monitors
and seeks to ensure the availability of industrial resources
for national defense under the authority of the Delegation of
Procurement Authority; analyzes the impact of export controls
on strategic industries; and assesses the security consequences
for the United States of certain foreign investments.
Export Enforcement (EE).--The Export Enforcement program
detects and prevents the illegal export of controlled goods and
technology. EE investigates and helps sanction violators of
U.S. export control, anti-terrorist and public safety laws and
regulations; educates the business community to help prevent
violations; and administers the Export Administration Act (EAA)
(which expired on August 19, 2001, but the provisions of which
remain in force under the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (IEEPA), Executive Order 13222, as extended most
recently by the Notice of August 3, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 44551
(August 7, 2006)) provisions restricting participation in
foreign boycotts.
Economic Development Administration
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $272,800,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 284,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 293,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +20,200,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +9,000,000
The mission of the Economic Development Administration
(EDA) is to lead the Federal economic development agenda by
promoting innovation and competitiveness, preparing American
regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy.
The Committee recommendation includes $293,000,000 for the
programs and administrative expenses of the EDA for fiscal year
2010, which is $20,200,000 above fiscal year 2009, and
$9,000,000 above the request. The total recommendation for EDA
consists of the amounts appropriated in the following two
accounts.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMS
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted\1\........................... $240,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 246,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 255,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +15,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +9,000,000
\1\Up to $4 million may be transferred to S&E for grants administration
and management.
Economic Development Assistance Programs promote regional
economic development efforts that benefit distressed
communities, especially distressed rural communities. The
Committee recommendation includes $255,000,000 for the Economic
Development Assistance programs, $15,000,000 above the fiscal
year 2009 level.
Public Works.--The Committee provides $158,280,000 for
Public Works, $110,480,000 above the request and $25,000,000
above fiscal year 2009. The Committee believes that, given the
current economic climate, these funds are critical to local
communities and industries faced with increased economic
pressures and dislocations in the rapidly changing global
economy.
Global Climate Change Mitigation Fund.--The Committee notes
the increased construction costs associated with the
incorporation of technologies and strategies that reduce energy
consumption and harmful gas emissions and contribute to
sustainability. Within the funds provided for Public Works, the
Committee recommends no less than $25,000,000 for the Global
Climate Change Mitigation Incentive Fund, $8,500,000 above the
request and $10,300,000 above fiscal year 2009. The Committee
emphasizes that to be successful in today's environment,
economic development must address the effects of climate
change, and directs EDA to expand the program beyond Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. This
can include renewable energy; energy efficiency; reuse,
restoration and recycling; green buildings; the development of
green products; the greening of an existing function, process
or activity; and the creation or renovation of a green
building. The Committee directs EDA to provide a report within
60 days of enactment of this Act, detailing the scope of the
fund, the criteria for approval of fund expenditures, and the
methodology EDA will employ when reviewing grants.
Planning.--The Committee provides $31,000,000, the same as
the request, and directs the agency to continue to allocate
funding to the existing network of Economic Development
Districts (EDDs), consistent with last year's direction. The
continued support provides EDDs with the flexibility needed to
engage local government, business, and community leadership in
setting and pursuing strategic job creation and retention
initiatives effectively.
Technical Assistance.--The Committee provides an increase
of $400,000 over fiscal year 2009, and directs EDA to compete
two additional University Centers each year, with the goal of
ensuring that each State has at least one Center. This will
ensure that economically distressed communities are not further
burdened by the lack of representation and the need to share
and stretch resources.
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).--While the Committee
supports this program and the recently enacted authorization,
EDA must undertake efforts to improve overall organization,
implementation and evaluation of its program before significant
new investments can be recommended by the Committee. In 2007,
the Congressional Research Service reported that 61 percent of
program funds were spent on administration and TAA center
(TAAC) operations, not on the projects for which firms applied
for assistance. The report states that EDA is unable to monitor
and evaluate the performance of either firms assisted or the
TAACs, resulting in limited evidence to determine program
successes. The Committee therefore directs EDA to institute
such an evaluative process and provide quarterly reports on the
number of firms assisted, how that assistance is quantified,
and the value each TAAC adds to the process.
Economic adjustment assistance.--Within funding provided,
the Committee supports the efficiency gains of regional
innovation clusters for applicants and the agency. The
Committee directs EDA to provide quarterly reports on progress
and funding awards, and expects proven performance to continue
the initiative. Funds are not included for the proposed
business incubator initiative as these activities are
duplicative of programs administered by the Small Business
Administration.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $32,800,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 38,000,000

Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +5,200,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The administration of EDA's Economic Development Assistance
Programs is carried out through a network of headquarters and
regional offices. These activities include pre-application
assistance and development, application processing, and project
monitoring as well as general support functions such as
economic development research, technical assistance,
information dissemination, legal and environmental compliance,
financial management, budgeting and debt management. The
appropriation provides for the staffing levels as proposed in
the budget request.
Minority Business Development Agency
MINORITY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $29,825,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 31,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 31,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +1,175,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The mission of the Minority Business Development Agency
(MBDA) is to achieve entrepreneurial parity for Minority
Business Enterprises (MBEs) by promoting their ability to grow
and to compete in the global economy. MBDA helps minority-owned
businesses obtain access to public and private debt and equity
financing, market opportunities, and management and business
information to increase business growth in the minority
business community.
The Committee recommendation includes $31,000,000 for the
MBDA for fiscal year 2010. The recommendation is the same as
the request and $1,175,000 above fiscal year 2009. Within the
appropriation, the Committee provides not less than $200,000
for the Office of Native American Business Development. The
Committee expects the office to utilize the assistance of the
Native American Business Enterprise Centers to help fulfill its
obligations to expand business development, trade promotion and
tourism opportunities for Indian tribes and other Native
American entities. Within the appropriation, $900,000 is
provided for the following activities, and the agency is
directed to work with the recipients to ensure that projects
meet the agency's mission:
Economics and Statistics Administration
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $90,621,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 105,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 97,255,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +6,634,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -7,745,000
The mission of the Economics and Statistics Administration
(ESA) is to provide leadership and critical oversight of the
Census Bureau and Bureau of Economic Analysis. The mission of
the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is to promote the
understanding of the U.S. economy by providing timely,
relevant, and accurate economic accounts data. These statistics
are key ingredients in decisions affecting interest and
exchange rates, tax and budget projections, business investment
plans, and the allocation of federal funds, including programs
such as Medicaid and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF) among others. BEA prepares national, regional, industry
and international accounts that present essential information
on such issues as economic growth, regional economic
development, inter-industry relationships and the Nation's
position in the world economy.
The Committee recommendation provides $97,255,000 for the
ESA, which is $6,634,000 above fiscal year 2009. This level
provides funding for two new initiatives, including $1,500,000
to develop new estimation models for financial services
statistics in order to more accurately reflect the critical
changes that are occurring in the financial sector of the U.S.
economy; and $2,000,000 to improve, accelerate, and expand
county-level economic statistics.
Bureau of the Census
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $3,139,850,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 7,374,731,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 7,374,731,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +4,234,881,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The mission of the Bureau of the Census (Census) is to
serve as the leading source of quality data about the Nation's
people and economy. To accomplish this mission, Census measures
those trends and segments of our population and economy most
critical to continued American success and prosperity. The
Committee recommendation includes a total operating level of
$7,374,731,000 for the Bureau of the Census, which is
$4,234,881,000 above fiscal year 2009, excluding the
$1,000,000,000 provided in the fiscal year 2009 American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $233,588,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 259,024,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 259,024,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +25,436,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
This appropriation provides for the collection,
compilation, and publication of a broad range of current
economic, demographic, and social statistics, to include
current economic, general economic, foreign trade, and current
demographic statistics, and survey development and data
services. The Committee recommendation includes $259,024,000
for the salaries and expenses of the Bureau of the Census for
fiscal year 2010, which is the same as the request and
$25,436,000 above fiscal year 2009.
Current economic statistics.--The business statistics
program provides current information on sales and related
measures of retail and wholesale trade and selected service
industries. Construction statistics are provided on significant
construction activity, while manufacturing statistics survey
key industrial commodities and manufacturing activities,
providing current statistics on the quantity and value of
industrial output. Within this subactivity, an increase of
$11,661,000 allows for the expansion of an existing pilot
program into Longitudinal Employer Dynamics (LED), to provide
comprehensive and timely national, state, and local information
on worker job flows and businesses.
Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP).--The
Committee provides $50,279,000, the same as the request and an
increase of $4,579,000 over fiscal year 2009. Funds provided
will ensure a full sample size and allow for improvements to
the SIPP system by fiscal year 2012, including updating
computer programming; improving survey content; investigating,
testing, and as appropriate, implementing an Event History
Calendar; and security enhancements to laptops used in the
field.
PERIODIC CENSUSES AND PROGRAMS
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $2,906,262,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 7,115,707,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 7,115,707,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +4,209,445,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The Committee recommendation includes a total of
$7,115,707,000 for all periodic censuses and related programs
in fiscal year 2010, which is $4,209,445,000 above fiscal year
2009 and the same as the request.
2010 Decennial Census Program.--The subactivity consists of
three highly integrated components: the American Community
Survey (ACS), which collects detailed characteristics, which
used to be collected on the decennial long form, every year
throughout the decade; the Master Address File/Topographically
Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER)
Enhancement Program (MTEP), which realigns the TIGER map to
take advantage of global positioning system capabilities,
modernizes the processing system, and expands geographic
partnerships; and the 2010 Census. Fiscal year 2010 is
dedicated to final preparations and completing the 2010 Census
enumeration.
Field Data Collection Automation (FDCA) Contract Replan.--
The replan of the FDCA contract resulted in a significant
overall increase in the life cycle cost of the Decennial
Census, now estimated at $14.7 billion. The Committee directs
the Census Bureau to provide monthly status reports and
obligation rates on this contract and other large contracts
related to the 2010 Decennial, and include the status of known
risks to the success of the Decennial.
Communications.--A recent Joint Advisory Advertising Review
Panel (JAARP) characterized the decennial ad campaign as
``obsolete.'' Among its findings, the panel noted the ad
campaign lacked integration and coordination; failed to
emphasize the security of the data provided in response to the
decennial questionnaire; did not identify the consequences of
failing to fill out the survey; and lacked diversity among
focus groups providing feedback on the campaign materials.
Census is, therefore, directed to work closely with the
communications provider to ensure that the decennial's outreach
activities are targeted to ensure high rates of survey
responses in all communities, particularly within hard-to-reach
communities.
Paid media.--The Committee directs the Census Bureau to
allocate sufficient funding to support robust paid media
efforts in preparation for the 2010 Decennial Census, with
specific focus on hard-to-reach populations, and to ensure that
these efforts surpass the effectiveness of such efforts in
2000. The Committee takes note of testimony by the Census
Bureau that increasing the mail-back response rate through
promotional efforts such as paid media--in combination with
partnership efforts--results in substantial savings in the non-
response follow-up enumeration.
Partnership.--The Committee urges the Census Bureau to
ensure it hires a diverse pool of employees, particularly for
partnership specialist and enumerator positions for the 2010
Decennial. These indigenous workers bring language skills and
neighborhood and cultural knowledge to bear on the task, and
are thus more likely to be accepted by communities during
outreach and non-response follow-up, resulting in a more
accurate count. The Census Bureau is also encouraged to strive
to maintain a more diverse, full-time workforce, including at
the senior management level.
Other languages.--The Committee is concerned that the
Census Bureau has not adequately planned for assistance in
languages other than Spanish for the 2010 Census and the ACS,
which may result in an inaccurate count of limited English
proficient and immigrant communities. The Census Bureau should
provide the Committee with updates on a semi-annual basis on
its language assistance program, including information on how
it will reach and assist respondents who speak Asian, American
Indian and Alaska Native languages, Spanish, and other
languages spoken by ethnic immigrants in the United States for
the ACS and the 2010 Census.
Data on small population groups.--The Committee is
concerned about the availability of data on small population
groups, especially Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and other
national origins subgroups, from the American Community Survey
and Decennial census. In many ethnic and immigrant communities,
gathering accurate information about smaller subgroups is
extremely important for policymakers, as the needs among the
various populations vary significantly. The Committee urges the
Census Bureau to ensure that reliable information about these
subgroups, especially numerically smaller groups, is collected
and published, and directs the Bureau to report back within 90
days of enactment of this Act describing the steps it will take
to ensure the availability and accuracy of these data.
Offshore U.S. jurisdictions.--The Committee urges the
Census Bureau to consider new options for reporting aggregate
data reflecting all citizens of the United States, including
Puerto Rico and other offshore jurisdictions.
Additional outreach.--The Committee directs the Bureau to
ensure full funding of Census in Schools and adult education
materials. The Committee notes that Census in Schools provides
significant outreach to hard-to-reach populations through the
medium of take-home materials that educate school children and
their parents and extended families. Similar results are
obtained by providing adult education materials that also reach
neighbors and friends in these communities.
Non-decennial programs.--The Committee recommendation
includes $214,581,000 for non-decennial periodic census
programs, the same as the request, and $8,119,000 below fiscal
year 2009. Funds are distributed as follows:

Economic Census.--Conducted every five years, the economic
census is integral to the Bureau of Economic Analysis'
estimates of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and is the
foundation of the Nation's economic statistics programs. Fiscal
year 2010 is the sixth year of the six-year 2007 Economic
Census cycle, and the first year of the 2012 Economic Census
cycle, and funding reflects a planned reduction of $5,200,000.
Census of Governments.--The Census of Governments is also
integral to the BEA's estimates of GDP. It is the only source
of comprehensive and uniformly classified data on the economic
activities of more than 90,000 State and local governments,
which account for about 12 percent of GDP and nearly 16 percent
of the U.S. workforce. Fiscal year 2010 is the first year in
the five-year cycle of the 2012 Census of Governments and
funding provided reflects a planned decrease of $702,000.

The National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) serves as the Administration's principle
adviser on telecommunications and information policy matters
and develops forward-looking spectrum policies that ensure
efficient and effective spectrum access and use. NTIA manages
all spectrum use by Federal government departments and agencies
and examines how the radio frequency spectrum is used and
managed in the United States. NTIA advocates for policies and
conducts technical research that supports delivery of the
latest telecommunications technology and services to all
Americans. The Committee recommendation includes $19,999,000
for the salaries and expenses of the NTIA, which is the same as
the request and $781,000 above fiscal year 2009.
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 advocates the
advancement of U.S. priorities in international
telecommunications policy and regulatory areas.
Spectrum management.--NTIA manages the Federal Government's
use of the radio frequency spectrum, both domestically and
internationally.
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.
Digital Television Transition And Public Safety Fund.--The
Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Fund, created
by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, as amended, received
offsetting receipts from the auction of electromagnetic
spectrum recovered from discontinued analog television signals
and provides funding for several one-time programs from these
receipts. The amended Act also provided borrowing authority to
the Department of Commerce to commence specified programs prior
to the availability of auction receipts. Amounts borrowed from
the Treasury have been repaid using earned revenues from the
auction. At the end of fiscal year 2009, NTIA will deposit in
the General Fund $7,363,000,000 of the earned revenues
(receipts) for deficit reduction purposes, as required by law.
Additional deposits of revenues to the General Fund, estimated
to be $8,688,000,000, will be initiated as program activities
are completed. During fiscal year 2010, the following programs
are authorized to use receipts from the fund:
Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Voucher
Program;
Public Safety Interoperable Communications
Grants;
Assistance to Low-Power Television Stations;
and
National and Remote Alert Programs.

The Public Telecommunications Facilities, Planning, and
Construction (PTFPC) program awards competitive grants that
help public broadcasting stations, State and local governments,
Indian tribes and nonprofit organizations construct facilities
to bring educational and cultural programming to the American
public using broadcasting and non-broadcasting
telecommunications technologies.
The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for
PTFPC, which is $20,000,000 more than the request, and the same
level as provided in fiscal year 2009. The budget request
proposed to eliminate the PTFPC program in fiscal year 2010,
citing funding available through the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting (CPB). However, it is not clear that CPB and PTFPC
are authorized to fund the same types of projects. PTFPC has
been the primary source for telecommunications infrastructure
assistance for public radio and television stations seeking
assistance, particularly in under-served rural areas. The
Committee therefore directs that NTIA work with CPB to provide
a report to the Appropriations Committees of the House and
Senate within 30 days of enactment of this Act, that clarifies
the funding authority of the two agencies. This report will
ensure that any proposed changes in account structures that may
be sought in subsequent budget requests will result in
efficiencies, not the elimination of a critical program.

Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is
charged with administering the patent and trademark laws of the
United States. USPTO examines patent applications, grants
patent protection for qualified inventions, and disseminates
technological information disclosed in patents. The USPTO also
examines trademark applications and provides federal
registration to owners of qualified trademarks. The USPTO
advises the Office of the United States Trade Representative on
enforcement issues in connection with free trade agreements and
participates in consultations with numerous foreign governments
on a broad range of issues related to the enforcement of
intellectual property rights. The Committee recommendation
includes $1,930,361,000 for the PTO for fiscal year 2010, which
is the same as the request.
Provision of fee collection projections.--The Committee
directs the UPSTO to provide quarterly reports on its projected
fee collection projections and to notify the Committee during
any month when significant changes in such projections prompt
serious concern or require drastic budgetary responses.
Backlog of patent applications.--Despite the projected
decline in patent applications, the backlog of unexamined
patent applications at the USPTO remains extraordinarily high.
The increasing backload is largely a consequence of a
globalized economy in which applicants are filing in more than
one jurisdiction. This means that the USPTO and other national
patent offices are duplicating one another's work. The USPTO
has recognized the relationship between rising workload and
duplication of national examinations. However, the USPTO's
efforts have proceeded very slowly and have not yet resulted in
significant relief for the USPTO.
The Government Accountability Office has found that the
hiring of additional patent examiners has not been sufficient
to reverse this trend and the recent and projected decrease in
fee collections-- 12.4 percent lower than the forecast for the
fiscal year 2009 budget--makes it clear that the USPTO will not
be able to rely on additional hiring as a method to reduce
pendency. While a projected decline in patent applications may
help to reduce the backlog, the most effective, long-term means
of reducing the pendency of patent applications is for the
leading patent offices to make more effective use of one
another's work. The Committee directs the USPTO to enhance its
efforts to reduce duplication of work already performed by
another patent office in a manner that does not compromise the
quality of the examination or compromise the sovereignty of the
United States, such as the Patent Prosecution Highway, the
Trilateral Strategic Working Group, and technical cooperative
agreements with intellectual property offices in other
countries. The Committee directs USPTO to provide a report to
the Committee on its progress within 30 days of enactment of
this Act.
National Institute of Standards and Technology
(INCLUDING TRANSFERS)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by
advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in
ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of

The Committee recommendation includes $781,100,000 for NIST
for fiscal year 2010.

To carry out its mission, NIST has an intramural research
program made up of laboratories and technical programs and
national research facilities. The laboratories and technical
programs develop and disseminate measurement techniques,
reference data and materials, test methods, standards, and
other infrastructural technologies and services required by
U.S. industry. National research facilities include the NIST
Center for Neutron Research and the Center for Nanoscale
Science and Technology. NIST also manages the Baldridge
National Quality Program, which promotes U.S. competitiveness
in business, health care, education, and non-profit
organizations through performance excellence criteria and other
information transfer, and management of the Malcolm Baldridge
National Quality Award.
The Committee recommendation includes $510,000,000 for
NIST's scientific and technical core programs, which is
$38,000,000 above fiscal year 2009, an increase of 8 percent.
Within available resources, the Committee supports the full
funding of the comprehensive national cyber security increase.
The Committee approves NIST's new budget structure
consolidating all the functions of its laboratory research
program under one budget activity but the Committee will regard
any deviation from amounts specified in spend plans or reports
for particular labs and technical programs, or the use of
deobligated funds, to be subject to reprogramming procedures.

This appropriation provides funding for the Manufacturing
Extension Partnerships (MEP) program and the Technology
Innovation Program (TIP). The Committee recommendation includes
$194,600,000, which is $19,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and the same as the request. Of this amount,
$124,700,000 is provided for the Manufacturing Extension
Partnerships (MEP) and $69,900,000 is provided for the
Technology Innovation Program (TIP). In the current economic
climate, these programs are critically important to ensure the
competitiveness of U.S. businesses.
MEP consists of a network of centers that provide business
support and technical assistance services, and helps improve
the productivity and competitiveness of small manufacturers.
The centers are funded from matching Federal and State or local
resources and fees charged for services. MEP leverages private
resources in the creation and retention of jobs, thereby
increasing economic output as well as Federal revenues.
TIP was established in section 3012 of the Competes Act and
speeds the development of high-risk, transformative research
targeted to address key societal challenges. Funding is
provided to small and medium-sized businesses, and institutions
of higher education or other organizations, such as national
laboratories and nonprofit research institutions to support,
promote, and accelerate innovation in the U.S.

This appropriation supports the construction of new
facilities and the renovation and maintenance of NIST's current
buildings and laboratories to comply with scientific and
engineering requirements and to keep pace with Federal, State,
and local health and safety regulations. The Committee
recommendation includes $76,500,000, of which $8,000,000 shall
be available for the final year of the Neutron Center Expansion
and Reliability Improvements, and $20,000,000 shall be
available for a competitive grant competition. The Committee
does not provide funding to begin two new multi-year
construction projects, given budget constraints.
Competitive construction grants.--Within the appropriation,
the Committee provides $20,000,000 for competitive construction
grants for research science buildings in fiscal year 2010. The
Committee notes that in just the first year of the program, the
fiscal year 2008 call for proposals yielded 93 requests, of
which only three were funded within available appropriations.
The Committee expects the Administration to include funding for
this program in future requests as these research science
buildings leverage additional public and private funding,
provide jobs, and improve science research in the Nation.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in
Earth's environment and conserve and manage coastal and marine
resources to meet our Nation's economic, social and
environmental needs. NOAA supplies information on the oceans
and atmosphere, provides stewardship of our coastal and marine
environment, and leads scientific research in such fields as
ecosystems, climate, global climate change, weather and
oceanography.
The Committee recommendation includes a total of
$4,602,941,000 in discretionary appropriations for NOAA, which
is $129,125,000 above the request, and $237,745,000 above
fiscal year 2009.

Management Fund.
\2\The budget request proposes to transfer $50,000,000 from species
recovery grants within the National Marine Fisheries Service to fund
activities within the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Fund.
The Committee recommendation includes a total program level
of $3,317,393,000 under this account for the coastal,
fisheries, marine, weather, satellite and other programs of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This total
funding level includes $3,198,793,000 in direct appropriations;
a transfer of $104,600,000 from balances in the ``Promote and
Develop Fishery Products and Research Pertaining to American
Fisheries'' account; a transfer of $3,000,000 from the Coastal
Zone Management Fund; and $11,000,000 is derived from
recoveries of prior year obligations. The direct appropriation
of $3,198,793,000 is $111,256,000 above the request and
$153,244,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level, and includes
$37,500,000 for congressionally directed activities.
The following narrative descriptions and tables identify
the specific activities and funding levels included in this
Act:
National Ocean Service (NOS).--The recommendation provides
$481,981,000 for NOS operations, research and facilities, which
is $19,310,000 above the request.
Navigation Services.--The Committee provides $48,081,000
for mapping and charting of which, $750,000 is provided for the
development and demonstration of unmanned surface vehicles for
hydrographic survey operations, and $30,000,000 to address
survey backlogs.
Ocean Assessment Program.--The recommendation provides
$20,000,000 for the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS)
regional observations, which is $5,000,000 above the request,
and provides the requested level of $6,555,000 for NOAA IOOS.
Given the effect of climate change on coral reefs worldwide,
the recommendation provides $29,000,000 for the Coral Reef
Program, which includes $2,273,000 in competitive funding above
the request. The Committee recognizes the broad value of the
consortium of sensor testbeds and the vital services these
efforts provide to NOAA and other federal agencies. The agency
is directed to report to the Committee within 30 days of
enactment of this Act on the feasibility of establishing a
cooperative institute for the purpose of advancing and
sustaining this essential capability and including it in future
requests.
Response and restoration.--The recommendation includes
$26,134,000 for Response and Restoration, which is $1,812,000
above the request, and which provides $3,000,000 for Estuary
Restoration and $9,300,000 for Damage Assessment and
Restoration.
Ocean and Coastal Management.--The recommendation includes
$49,946,000 for the Marine Sanctuary Program, an increase of
$4,997,000. Within the increase, the recommendation provides
$2,500,000 for purchase and installation of an integrated
vessel electronics bridge system. The Committee directs NOAA to
use a portion of the increases provided for Coastal Zone
Management grants for efforts to modernize and improve State
information systems to assess, track and manage permitting and
land-use tracking procedures. An increase of $1,174,000 above
the request is provided for the National Estuarine Research
Reserve System operations.
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).--The
recommendation provides $915,865,000 for NMFS operations,
research and facilities, which is $25,223,000 above the
request.
Protected Species Research and Management.--The
recommendation includes $65,987,000 for an expanded species
recovery grants program, which is $5,000,000 above the request.
The Committee concurs with the need for increased funding for
endangered, threatened, and at-risk marine and anadromous
species. The Committee supports the proposed recovery grants
program to focus on conservation and recovery of all marine and
anadromous species. Similar to the request, the recommendation
provides $50,000,000 within the species recovery grant program
for salmon projects.
The Committee encourages NMFS to provide $7,100,000 from
all appropriated funding sources for the Hawaiian Monk Seal, as
it is one of the world's most endangered marine species.
The Committee encourages NOAA to demonstrate and utilize
biological pattern recognition technology where appropriate for
tagging fish or threatened or endangered animal species.
Fisheries Research and Management.--The recommendation
provides $423,967,000 for Protected Species Research and
Management which is $2,500,000 above the request. Within this
amount, $190,133,000 is recommended for Fisheries research and
management programs. The recommendation does not include
$7,500,000 for CAMEO and assessments that are not Magnuson-
Stevens Reauthorization Act requirements. An increase of
$10,000,000 above the request is provided within Salmon
management activities to begin implementation of reforms
developed by the Hatchery Scientific Review Group to operate
these facilities in a manner more conducive to salmon recovery.
Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act (MSRA).--The Committee
recommendation includes the requested $56,500,000 increase for
MSRA requirements. These funds are necessary to halt the
downward spiral of fisheries collapses and the need for
subsequent disaster funding to support those industries which
depend on fisheries. The Committee recognizes the need to
ensure sustainable fisheries that are more profitable and more
efficient for the communities that depend on them
economically--and to ensure the Nation can rely on these
resources in perpetuity. Of this funding, $18,600,000 is
designated to implement a sector-based management approach for
New England and the transition to catch shares, a new tool that
provides flexibility for fishermen while maintaining
sustainability. Increased funding supports the cost of expanded
stock assessments required and is also provided for Regional
Councils that make recommendations on annual catch limits
(ACLs) to NMFS based on those assessments.
Cooperative research provides a means for commercial and
recreational fishermen to become involved in the collection of
fundamental fisheries information; $4,800,000 will continue
development of a State-Federal national registry program for
marine recreational fishing participants, and expand commercial
fisheries' biological sampling programs and electronic
reporting of commercial fisheries' landings.
Economic and social science research.--The requested
increase of $3,357,000 is provided to address significant
economic and social science research data gaps in major Federal
fisheries that are crucial to developing support tools to
conduct MSRA-mandated cost-benefit analyses of regulatory
options, such as ACLs and Limited Access Privilege Programs
(LAPPs). These resources will allow the affected regions to
provide input and engage in solutions in their own sectors, and
to forge new relationships between the regions and NMFS.
Enforcement and observers/training.--The funding provided
will increase NMFS' capacity to monitor compliance with annual
catch limits, increase investigations of violations, and
encourage voluntary compliance. Observer coverage will be
expanded in three fisheries, including the multi-species
fishery in New England and the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish
Observer Program, and pilot programs will begin in three other
fisheries. In addition, systems will be developed to monitor
landings and discards; track allocations, balances and
transfers; and ensure the long-term sustainability and
profitability of the fisheries.
Habitat Conservation and Restoration.--The recommendation
provides a total of $57,343,000 for Habitat Conservation and
Restoration. Within this amount, $34,967,000 is provided for
Fisheries Habitat Restoration.
Other activities.--The Committee recognizes the importance
of ongoing surfclam and ocean quahog surveys to sustainable
fisheries management and encourages NOAA to work closely with
stakeholders on this matter.
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--The recommendation
includes $426,675,000 for OAR operations, research and
facilities, which is $32,470,000 above the request. The
Committee supports NOAA's efforts toward the creation of a
National Climate Service and directs the agency to accelerate
its current efforts with the additional funding provided in OAR
and elsewhere within the bill.
The recommendation provides $229,040,000 for Climate
Research, which is $19,200,000 above the request. Within that
amount, $5,000,000 is provided to fund a research grant
competition relating to understanding and forecasting climate.
The competition is to be open to all researchers at colleges,
universities, corporations, other private sector entities, and
NOAA and other government agency laboratories, and may cover
field and laboratory measurements, modeling, data analysis, and
data assimilation. Following a process similar to that employed
by the National Science Foundation, proposal selection shall be
based on research manager judgments of science priorities and
peer reviews. Within the recommendation, the Committee provides
$12,000,000 for regional climate assessments through OAR's
Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment program, and
directs NOAA to expand the program to cover additional regions.
The recommendation also includes $2,200,000 to continue
chemical climate research important to climate modeling and
atmospheric science research.
Weather and Air Quality research.--The recommendation
includes $650,000 above the request for instrumentation and
operation of state of the art monitoring of nutrients and
mercury speciation measurement stations and laboratories.
Ocean, Coastal and Great Lakes research.--The
recommendation provides $59,085,000 for the Sea Grant program,
which is $4,000,000 above the request. The Committee encourages
NOAA to conduct long-term ice cover and water level outlooks
for the Great Lakes to report on the impact of climate change
on the habitats, fish and wildlife, commerce, recreational
opportunities and water supply of the Great Lakes.
The Committee is aware that ocean fertilization for the
purpose of drawing carbon into the oceans has the potential to
be used for climate change mitigation in the future, but that
further research is needed. Within the funds provided for
oceanic research, the Committee encourages NOAA to support
research into carbon sinks through ocean fertilization.
National Weather Service (NWS).--The recommendation
provides $857,218,000 for National Weather Service operations,
research and facilities. This includes an increase of
$15,966,000 for Local Warnings and Forecasts base above the
fiscal year 2009 level and provides $11,000,000 for the Center
for Weather and Climate Prediction operations, as requested.
National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information
Service (NESDIS).--The recommendation provides $199,504,000 for
NESDIS operations, research and facilities, which is
$27,767,000 above the request. The recommendation for NOAA's
Data Centers and Information Services is $71,056,000, which is
$23,917,000 above the request, and includes $7,000,000 above
the request for climate data records (CDRs) and additional
environmental data archiving, access and assessment activities.
The recommendation also provides a total of $3,850,000 for
Regional Climate Centers.
The Committee directs NOAA, together with NASA which is
similarly directed, to continue co-funding joint studies within
available funds that should lead to a fiscal year 2011 request
to build and fly an operational scatterometer providing sea
surface vector wind measurements. NOAA should aggressively
pursue negotiations to secure a flight opportunity for this
instrument that is both reliable and timely.
Program Support.--The recommendation provides $436,020,000,
which is $16,360,000 above the request for Program Support.
Corporate Services.--The recommendation provides
$228,549,000 for Corporate Services and includes requested
funding to support acquisition and grants services for NOAA.
The agency is directed to strengthen grants and contract
oversight. The Committee acknowledges the requested increase in
facilities funding and continues to direct NOAA to meet the
out-year funding profile necessary to reverse the growing
backlog of restoration projects, as well as the backlog of
maintenance and minor repair projects.
NOAA Education Program.--The NOAA Education program
recommendation includes $31,323,000 to ensure a robust program.
NOAA education is particularly powerful in grades K-12 and the
Committee received testimony that children need to be reached
by the age of ten if they are to consider technical and
scientific occupations. The Committee thus provides an increase
of $7,000,000 above the request for competitive educational
grants, to ensure that at least 15 percent of applications are
successful. In addition, $3,000,000 is provided for the GLOBE
Program. NOAA is instructed to work with NASA, which is
similarly directed, during fiscal year 2010 to transition
program responsibility for GLOBE from NASA to NOAA. The
Committee expects the budget request for fiscal year 2011 to
include full funding for GLOBE as a NOAA education program.
Justification improvement.--The Committee directs NOAA to
work with the Committee to reformat the justification into a
more useable and user-friendly document, starting with the
fiscal year 2011 submission. While the Committee understands
the pressures of the past year in producing its budget, the
Committee notes the lack of justification for base program
requests and other cross-cutting information. The Department is
similarly directed.
Research and Development (R&D) tracking and outcomes.--The
Committee continues its direction that NOAA track the division
of R&D funds between intramural and extramural research, and
assure consistency and clarity in the collection and reporting
of data. In addition, NOAA is directed to clearly state its
expected research outcomes and available funding in order to
provide transparency into the competitive grant process for
extramural researchers. The Committee further directs NOAA to
increase extramural research funding in future requests to
build broad community support and leverage external funding for
mission-oriented research.
PROCUREMENT, ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $1,243,647,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 1,391,279,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 1,409,148,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +165,501,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +17,869,000
This account funds capital acquisition, construction, and
fleet and aircraft replacement projects that support NOAA's
operational mission across all line offices. Capital
acquisition projects include satellite procurements and surface
weather observation equipment for NOAA's weather and climate
programs. Construction projects include new buildings or major
modification of existing facilities. Fleet and aircraft
replacement includes acquisition of new and upgrades to
existing aircraft and vessels.
The Committee recommendation includes a total program level
of $1,411,148,000 in direct obligations under this heading, of
which $1,409,148,000 is appropriated from the general fund and
$2,000,000 is derived from recoveries of prior year
obligations. The direct appropriation of $1,409,148,000 for the
Procurement, Acquisition and Construction (PAC) account is
$17,869,000 above the request and $165,501,000 above fiscal
year 2009.
The bill includes language making any deviation from
amounts designated for specific activities in this report, or
any use of deobligated balances of funds provided under this
heading in previous years shall be subject to the reprogramming
procedures set forth in section 505.
National Ocean Service (NOS).--The recommendation includes
$41,385,000 for NOS acquisition and construction. This includes
$6,500,000 above the request for the Coastal and Estuarine Land
Conservation (CELCP) program. As a result of the Omnibus Public
Lands Act, no less than 15 percent of CELCP funds shall be
available for acquisitions benefitting National Estuarine
Research Reserves (NERRS). The recommendation funds the NERRS
Acquisition and Construction account at the request of
$3,890,000, which provides a total of $7,115,000 for NERRS, an
increase of $72,000 above fiscal year 2009, and provides
$3,275,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level for non-NERRS CELCP
projects, for a total of $18,275,000. The recommendation also
provides $15,995,000 for the Marine Sanctuaries Construction
and Acquisition programs, $10,500,000 above the request.
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--The recommendation
includes $10,379,000 for OAR systems acquisition, the same as
the request.
National Weather Service (NWS).--The recommendation
includes $88,527,000 for NWS acquisition and construction.
National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information
Service (NESDIS).--The recommendation includes $1,268,857,000
for NESDIS acquisition and construction. Of the $12,000,000
increase, $2,000,000 is in support of the National Climate
Service. This provides full funding for GOES-R and NPOESS. The
Committee remains concerned about the impact of the GOES-R out-
year costs on NOAA's traditional mission areas. However, the
Committee is particularly concerned with NPOESS' management
structure and projected life-cycle cost growth of $1 to $2
billion dollars, as well as additional schedule slips. The
Committee notes that this situation has been developing for
some time and is the result of a dysfunctional tri-agency
management approach. The Committee anticipates a change in
management structure to be announced by the Administration
soon. Accordingly, the Committee recommendation deletes the 50/
50 NOAA/DoD funding split requirement from the bill language.
This step will allow for more creative funding decisions to
avert the critical climate and weather data gaps that are sure
to occur if a management solution is not identified soon.
The Committee acknowledges and fully supports the
significant step represented by the inclusion in the budget
request of $20,000,000 for Jason-3 to provide radar altimetry
measurements of sea surface elevation and ocean circulation.
Program Support (PS).--The recommendation includes
$2,000,000 for PS Construction.

This fund was established by the Coastal Zone Act
Reauthorization Amendments of 1990 (CZARA). The fund consists
of loan repayments from the former Coastal Energy Impact
Program. The proceeds are to be used to offset the Operations,
Research, and Facilities account for the costs of implementing
the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. The
Committee recommendation includes language transferring not to
exceed $3,000,000 from the Coastal Zone Management Fund to the
``Operations, Research, and Facilities Account.''

The salaries and expenses appropriation provides funding
for Executive Direction and Departmental Staff Services.
Executive Direction funds the development and implementation of
policies and coordinates Bureaus' program activities.
Departmental Staff Services funds the development and
implementation of the Department's internal policies,
procedures and other administrative functions.
The Committee recommendation includes $60,000,000 for
Departmental Management, which is $7,000,000 above fiscal year
2009 and $4,000,000 below the request. Within the amounts
appropriated, the Committee provides $7,000,000 for the
Department's highest priorities.
Minority serving institutions digital and wireless
opportunity program.--Not later than 60 days after enactment of
this Act, the Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the
Committees on Appropriations of the House and the Senate a
report describing the Department's plans to support and assist
minority serving institutions (MSIs) in improving their
instrumentation, connectivity, hardware and software for
intructional and research purposes as contemplated by the
amendments to the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of
1980. The Committee also encourages the Secretary to work with
MSIs national stakeholder organizations in developing such
strategies.
Justification improvement.--The Committee directs the
Department to work with the Committee to reformat all Commerce
justifications into more useable and user-friendly documents,
starting with the fiscal year 2011 submission. While the
Committee understands the pressures of the past year in
producing its budget, the Committee notes the lack of
justification for base program requests and other cross-cutting
information.
Departmental oversight.--The Committee directs the
Department to develop oversight capacity of the U.S. Patent and
Trademark office, and to track fee collections and other
pertinent policy and economic impacts, to avoid budgetary
shortfalls, and ensure that the Department and the Committee
are fully informed on funding issues.
The Committee continues the direction that the Department
provide a report that audits and evaluates all decision
documents and expenditures by the Bureau of Census as they
relate to the 2010 Decennial. The bill retains the provision
restricting $5,000,000 of the available appropriation from
obligation until the Secretary certifies to the Committee that
the Bureau of Census has met all standards and best management
practices and Office of Management and Budget guidelines
related to information technology projects and contract
management. This provision ensures that the Department will
remain engaged and fully informed of issues regarding the
Decennial and will reduce the possibility of further life-cycle
cost increases and schedule delays.

The mission of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is to
provide a unique, independent voice to the Secretary and other
senior Commerce managers, as well as to Congress, in combating
fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement, and in improving the
efficiency, effectiveness and economy of Department operations.
These funds provide for OIG's work conducting audits,
inspections, and investigations. The Committee recommendation
includes $27,000,000 for the OIG for fiscal year 2009, which is
$1,200,000 above fiscal year 2009 and the same as the request.
This includes funds to expand the OIG's cooperation with the
Department of Justice in pursuing enforcement against
restraint-of-trade and commerce activities that relate to the
Department of Commerce programs. The Committee also notes the
significant oversight required for the 2010 Decennial and NOAA
satellite programs.
General Provisions--Department of Commerce
The Committee recommends the following general provisions for
the Department of Commerce:
Section 101 makes funds available for advanced payments
only upon certification of officials designated by the
Secretary that such payments are considered to be in the public
interest;
Section 102 makes appropriations for the Department for
Salaries and Expenses available for hire of passenger motor
vehicles, for services, and for uniforms and allowances as

TITLE II--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
General Administration
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $105,805,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 178,488,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 118,488,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +12,683,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -60,000,000
General Administration (GA) supports the Attorney General
(AG) and senior policy level officials in managing Department
resources and developing policies for legal, law enforcement
and criminal justice activities. GA also provides
administrative support services to the legal divisions. For
fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $118,488,000, which
is $60,000,000 below the budget request.
Post-Guantanamo activities.--The Committee recommendation
does not include the $60,000,000 requested for the anticipated
costs of detaining, prosecuting and incarcerating individuals
transferred from the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay.
Instead, the Committee directs the Administration to submit a
comprehensive plan and cost estimates, and, if such plan,
approved by Congress, involves increased costs to DOJ, to
submit a budget amendment or a supplemental request for these
activities. That budget amendment or supplemental should
consider the possibility of transferring to DOJ the funds
currently used by the Department of Defense to operate the
Guantanamo Bay facility, as those funds will no longer be
needed by DOD.
Reducing crime in Indian Country.--The Committee is
concerned about the epidemic levels of violent crime in Indian
Country, including sexual and domestic violence and crime
related to substance abuse, and provides significant additional
resources in the bill to help combat this crime. In addition to
increased funding, however, combating crime in Indian Country
requires an increased level of effort and coordination by
Federal, State, and tribal law enforcement agencies.
To help foster such collaboration, the Committee directs
the Attorney General, in coordination with the Secretary of the
Interior and State and tribal officials, to establish an
interagency and tribal working group to clarify and resolve the
law enforcement jurisdiction challenges that have hindered
criminal investigations and prosecutions in Indian Country and
to identify other challenges and needs related to tribal
justice systems, including needs associated with secure law
enforcement information sharing systems. The working group
shall develop recommendations on how to streamline the Federal,
State, and tribal response to criminal investigations and
prosecutions, and shall submit a report containing such
recommendations to the Committee within 90 days of enactment of
this Act.
Among the goals established for the working group shall be
the development of protocols to ensure that Federal law
enforcement agencies which decline to initiate an investigation
or which terminate an investigation of an alleged violation of
Federal law in Indian Country without referral for prosecution
submit to the appropriate tribal official a report describing
the rationale for terminating the investigation; the type of
crime alleged; the status of the perpetrator; and the status of
the victim. These protocols should also ensure that United
States Attorneys coordinate with tribal prosecutors
sufficiently well in advance of prosecution deadlines mandated
by the statute of limitations to permit tribal prosecutors to
pursue cases, as appropriate. The working group should also
review and define the responsibilities of Assistant United
States Attorneys serving as Tribal Liaisons in order to better
coordinate the prosecution of crimes on reservations.
NATIONAL DRUG INTELLIGENCE CENTER
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted\1\........................... ................
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. $44,023,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 44,023,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted\1\....................... +44,023,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
\1\Funding for this activity was previously provided through the
Intelligence Community Management Account in the defense
appropriations bill. In fiscal year 2009, $44,000,000 was appropriated
for NDIC in the defense bill (P.L. 110-329) and transferred to the
Department of Justice.
The National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) provides
strategic drug-related intelligence, document and computer
exploitation support, and training assistance to the drug
control, public health, law enforcement, and intelligence
communities in order to reduce the adverse effects of drug
trafficking, drug abuse and other drug-related criminal
activities. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$44,023,000, which is equal to the budget request.
JUSTICE INFORMATION SHARING TECHNOLOGY
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $80,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 123,617,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 109,417,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +29,417,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -14,200,000
The Justice Information Sharing Technology (JIST) fund
provides for corporate investments in information technology
(IT). As a centralized fund under the control of the DOJ Chief
Information Officer, it ensures that investments in information
sharing technology and infrastructure are well planned and
aligned with DOJ's overall IT strategy and enterprise
architecture. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$109,417,000, which is $14,200,000 below the budget request.
Litigation Case Management System (LCMS).--As recently
revealed by the DOJ Inspector General (IG), the LCMS is at
significant risk of failing to meet the Department's
expectations and requirements. Implementation of LCMS is well
over budget and behind schedule and is now on indefinite hold
at most of the Department's litigating divisions. The
recommended level does not include funds for the continued
deployment of the system, but the Committee will consider a
reprogramming for these funds once the Department has completed
all of the IG's LCMS recommendations and submitted a report to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations detailing the
steps taken to contain cost and schedule overruns.
Unified Financial Management System (UFMS).--The
Committee's recommendation includes the restoration of funds
for the UFMS base program. The Department is directed to submit
a list of specific and detailed performance milestones for UFMS
development and deployment in fiscal year 2010, including dates
for planned completion. These milestones should be reported to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60
days of the enactment of this Act, and quarterly updates should
be provided on the Department's progress in meeting those
milestones.
Cyber security.--The Committee's recommendation includes
$27,439,000, as requested, to strengthen DOJ's cyber security
program. The Committee supports the Department's efforts to
better protect its networks and other information technology
assets and hopes that these resources will allow DOJ to achieve
the same success in its cyber security implementation as it has
achieved on its FISMA report card. However, the Committee urges
the Department to exercise discretion in testing cyber security
protections to ensure that all relevant players have been
alerted to the timing of these tests and to minimize any
potential negative impact on DOJ employees.
TACTICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $185,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 205,143,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 205,143,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +20,143,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The mission of Tactical Law Enforcement Wireless
Communications is to provide secure, interoperable and reliable
wireless communication services required by DOJ's law
enforcement components and all Federal agents and officers
engaged in the conduct of law enforcement, protective services,
homeland defense and disaster response missions. This account
funds component legacy network requirements, operations of the
Wireless Management Office and the acquisition of new equipment
and services. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$205,143,000, which is equal to the budget request.
IWN funding.--The Committee's recommendation includes an
increase of $20,143,000 for the continued development and
deployment of the Integrated Wireless Network (IWN). Consistent
with direction in the explanatory statement accompanying P.L.
111-8, all funds for IWN should be spent on the modernization
and improvement of land mobile radio (LMR) systems. Secure
cellular or data systems and non-LMR tactical equipment must be
budgeted for and requested separately.
Performance milestone reporting.--The Committee expects to
continue receiving quarterly reports on the achievement of
established performance milestones for the use of IWN funds.
These reports, which were begun in fiscal year 2009, should
reflect the Department's progress toward each milestone and the
extent to which those milestones are being achieved within
cost, schedule and performance expectations.
Administrative Review and Appeals
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted\1\........................... $266,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request\1\........................... 296,685,000
Recommended in the bill\1\............................ 296,685,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +30,685,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
\1\Total is net of a $4,000,000 transfer from the USCIS Immigration
Examiners Fee account.
This appropriation supports the Executive Office of
Immigration Review (EOIR) and the Office of the Pardon Attorney
(OPA). The mission of EOIR is to provide the timely and uniform
interpretation and application of immigration law, ensuring due
process and fair treatment for all parties involved. OPA
receives, investigates and considers petitions for all forms of
executive clemency. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee
recommends $296,685,000, which is equal to the budget request.
Personnel and infrastructure increases.--The Committee
recommendation includes $24,253,000 for personnel and
infrastructure investments needed to efficiently process an
increasing immigration adjudication caseload. Of this total,
$10,250,000 is for the eWorld document management system to
improve EOIR's ability to store, distribute and archive its
files.
Legal Orientation Program (LOP).--The recommendation
includes $6,500,000, an increase of $2,500,000, for the
continued implementation and expansion of the LOP. EOIR is
encouraged to seek alien-specific detention costs and duration
of detention data from ICE in order to develop a more accurate
estimate of the cost savings to the government provided by
participation in the LOP.
Competency standards.--The explanatory statement
accompanying P.L. 111-8 urged EOIR to work with experts and
interested parties in developing standards and materials for
judges to use in conducting competency evaluations of persons
appearing in immigration court. EOIR is directed to report to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 30
days of the enactment of this Act on the status of its efforts
to develop this competency bench book. The report should also
address the steps DOJ has taken to provide safeguards for the
rights of aliens judged to be mentally incompetent, as required
by 8 U.S.C. 1229a(b)(3).
Fraud program.--EOIR is urged to set written standards and
criteria for use in judging potentially fraudulent evidence and
testimony provided to an immigration court. The lack of such
standards encourages an ad hoc approach to fraud enforcement
that may result in inconsistent or inaccurate determinations.
Detention Trustee
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $1,295,319,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 1,438,663,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 1,438,663,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +143,344,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee (OFDT) leads
the development of DOJ detention policy and manages Federal
detention resources with the goal of maximizing available
detention space and containing costs associated with the
detention of criminal defendants and aliens awaiting
adjudication and/or removal from the United States. For fiscal
year 2010, the Committee recommends $1,438,663,000, which is
equal to the budget request.
Inadequacy of budget requests.--The Committee remains
frustrated by the regular occurrence of funding shortfalls at
OFDT, even when the budget request has been fully funded. In
the past year, the Committee has twice had to approve emergency
reprogrammings to avert deficiencies at OFDT, and it appears
that a third will be necessary before fiscal year 2009 is
complete. OFDT has either not requested sufficient resources to
meet its projected needs or its projections are too inaccurate
to serve as predictors of annual funding requirements. The
Committee's recommendation fully supports OFDT's projections
for 2010, but more analytical attention is needed to determine
whether OFDT's methodology for deriving those projections is
sound. Accordingly, the Government Accountability Office (GAO)
is directed to review OFDT's methods for projecting population
levels, jail day rates and other factors that are translated
into the annual budget request for detention capacity. GAO
should make recommendations to the House and Senate Committees
on Appropriations on steps OFDT should take to develop more
accurate projections of funding requirements no later than
August 31, 2010.
Office of Inspector General
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $75,681,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 84,368,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 84,368,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +8,687,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducts independent
investigations, audits, inspections, and special reviews of DOJ
personnel and programs to detect and deter waste, fraud, abuse,
and misconduct, and to promote integrity, economy, efficiency,
and effectiveness in DOJ operations. For fiscal year 2010, the
Committee recommends $84,368,000, which is equal to the budget
request.
Counterterrorism oversight.--The Committee's recommendation
includes an increase of $4,000,000 for the OIG to continue
counterterrorism and national security oversight begun with
prior year supplemental funds. With the annualization of these
funds into the regular budget process, the Committee expects
the practice of requesting annual supplemental appropriations
for the OIG to end.
Grants management.--The Committee's recommendation also
includes an increase of $2,000,000 for enhanced auditing and
oversight of the Department's grant programs. In the execution
of these funds, the Committee urges OIG to include a focus on
financial management issues at the Office of Justice Programs
(OJP). The Committee is particularly interested in assessing
OJP's ability to track the disbursement of its appropriations
by activity.

The United States Parole Commission is an independent body
within the Department of Justice that makes decisions regarding
requests for parole of Federal offenders and certain District
of Columbia Code offenders. The Committee recommends

This appropriation supports the establishment of litigation
policy, conduct of litigation, and other legal responsibilities
of the Department of Justice through the Office of the
Solicitor General, the Tax Division, the Criminal Division, the
Civil Division, the Environmental and Natural Resources
Division, the Civil Rights Division, the Office of Legal
Counsel, and Interpol-U.S. National Central Bureau. The
Committee recommends a total of $875,097,000 for General Legal
Activities, which is $71,090,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and equal to the budget request.
The funding is provided as follows:

-----------------
Total............................................. 875,097,000
The Committee strongly supports the additional resources
proposed for the Department's litigation divisions, for which
inadequate funding has been proposed in past years. The
Committee is particularly supportive of the additional
resources proposed for the Civil Rights Division to restore its
base capacity to enforce civil rights laws; expand its capacity
to prosecute and provide litigation support for human
trafficking and unsolved civil rights era crimes; carry out its
responsibilities associated with the civil rights of
institutionalized persons and the access rights of the
disabled; and enhance the enforcement of fair housing and fair
lending laws.
In addition to inflationary and other base adjustments for
the divisions within this account, the recommendation includes
the proposed programmatic increases of $2,909,000 and 9 FTE for
the Tax Division; $4,430,000 and 13 FTE for the Criminal
Division; $11,760,000 and 37 FTE for the Civil Division;
$4,200,000 and 8 FTE for the Environment and Natural Resources
Division; $15,723,000 and 51 FTE for the Civil Rights Division;

The Antitrust Division investigates potential violations of
Federal antitrust laws, represents the interests of the United
States in cases brought under these laws, acts on antitrust
cases before the Supreme Court, and reviews decisions of
regulatory commissions relating to antitrust law.
Appropriations for the Antitrust Division are offset by Hart-
Scott-Rodino Act pre-merger filing fee collections.
The Committee recommends $163,170,000 in budget authority
for the Antitrust Division, $5,382,000 above the fiscal year
2009 enacted level and equal to the budget request. This
appropriation is offset by $102,000,000 in pre-merger filing

The Committee recommends $1,934,003,000 for the United
States Attorneys (USA), which is $97,667,000 above the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level and $8,000,000 above the budget
request.
Pro-IP Act.--Within the total amount provided, the
Committee recommendation includes an additional $2,000,000
above the budget request for activities authorized under Sec.
402 of the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for
Intellectual Property Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-403).
Child exploitation investigations and prosecutions.--The
Committee expects EOUSA to continue to focus on investigations
and prosecutions of offenses related to the sexual exploitation
of children, as authorized by the Adam Walsh Child Protection
and Safety Act of 2006. Not less than $36,980,000 shall be
available for this purpose in fiscal year 2010.
Southwest border enforcement.--Within funds provided, the
Committee includes the requested programmatic increase of
$8,127,000 and 75 positions to strengthen prosecutions of
criminal enterprises, including human, drug, and weapon

Committee continues to be concerned about the rate of
prosecution of serious crimes in Indian Country, and notes that
a Resource Plan for such prosecutions was due to the Committee
on May 11, 2009. The Attorney General is directed to expedite
the submission of that report. Within the total amount
provided, the Committee provides an additional $6,000,000 for
the hiring of additional Assistant U.S. Attorneys to increase
the rate of needed prosecutions, and provides a proportional
increase to the appropriation for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to support additional criminal investigations.
Terrorist recruitment.--The Committee is concerned by
reports that some young Somali-American men have been recruited
by terrorist groups to fight in the Somali civil war. The
Committee is aware that the U.S. Attorney for the District of
Minnesota has engaged in efforts to help the Somali-American
community in Minnesota prevent such recruitment, and urges the
continuation and expansion of those efforts.

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is responsible
for providing physical security to Federal judges and U.S.
courthouses; protecting witnesses, jurors and members of the
public; safely and humanely transporting and detaining Federal
prisoners; and apprehending fugitives. For fiscal year 2010,
the Committee recommends $1,138,388,000, which is equal to the
budget request.
Sex offender apprehension.--The Committee appreciates that
the Marshals Service has annualized $15,812,000 of prior year
supplemental funds into its fiscal year 2010 budget request for
enforcement of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act.
However, the budget request does not provide any additional
funds to expand this program beyond the current level of
effort. If the Marshals are going to make a significant impact
on the estimated caseload of 100,000 non-compliant sex
offenders, a concerted, multi-year effort to dedicate
additional resources to the program is necessary. Consequently,
the Committee's recommendation includes $20,000,000 to expand
Adam Walsh Act enforcement activities in districts across the
country.
Immigration enforcement.--The recommendation includes
$114,345,000 for new personnel, infrastructure, information
technology and other items necessary to address the enormous
workload generated by increased enforcement activity in other
agencies and bureaus. The Committee hopes that this investment
will at least partially alleviate the pressure on other
Marshals programs, such as fugitive apprehension, now that more
dedicated personnel will be available to handle the
immigration-related caseload. Due to the large funding
increase, however, the Committee would like to receive updates
on the Marshals' execution of these funds, including the amount
of money obligated and the number of new hires brought on
board. The Marshals Service shall submit this information to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on a
quarterly basis.

For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $14,000,000,
which is equal to the budget request. These funds should be
applied to the highest priority renovation projects identified
by the Marshals.

The mission of the National Security Division (NSD) is to
coordinate the Department's efforts in carrying out its core
mission of combating terrorism and protecting national
security. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$87,938,000, which is equal to the budget request.
National Security Reviews.--NSD's budget justification
shows that fewer National Security Reviews than planned were
undertaken in fiscal year 2008. NSD is directed to give
immediate notice to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations if there are any deviations from the current
plan to perform 20 such reviews in fiscal year 2010.

The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement (ICDE) account
seeks to combine the investigative and prosecutorial resources
of the Department to bring down the ``worst of the worst'' in
multinational drug trafficking organizations. The interagency
program of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces
(OCDETF) focuses participants on the mission of attacking high-
level organizations through coordinated, multi-jurisdictional
investigations. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$528,569,000, which is $8,938,000 below the budget request. The
decrease reflects the Committee's intention to focus new
program initiatives for the OCDETF-participating components
within those accounts rather than through the OCDETF structure.

The mission of the FBI is to protect and defend the United
States against terrorism and foreign intelligence threats; to
uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States; and
to provide leadership and criminal justice services to Federal,
State, municipal and international agencies and partners. For
fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $7,718,741,000,
which is equal to the budget request.
Materials submitted in support of the budget.--The FBI's
congressional budget justification requires some additional
information in order to better aid the Committee's review and
analysis of the FBI's needs. First, the FBI is directed to
submit all future budget requests with a listing of enhancement
proposals in priority order so that the Committee can weigh the
relative importance of each new initiative. A prioritization of
enhancements within each end state capability or grouped into
tiers will not be sufficient to meet this requirement.
Second, the justification needs to include more
quantifiable descriptions of the end state capabilities. The
Committee understands that the Bureau is currently working to
develop more discrete and quantifiable end states and is
encouraged by informal indications of progress in this area.
When this exercise is complete, the newly refined end state
capabilities should be included in justification materials,
along with a description of how each new initiative will
advance the Bureau toward the achievement of an end state.
Finally, the classified nature of much of the FBI's work
necessitates classified descriptions of some of the enhancement
requests. However, the classified addendum to the justification
is not always made immediately available to the Committee on
the date of budget submission. For the fiscal year 2011 process
and all future requests, the FBI is directed to submit the
classified addendum concurrently with the unclassified
justification.
Hiring challenges.--The FBI has proposed extremely
aggressive hiring goals for both 2009, in which more than 2,200
positions will need to be filled, and 2010, in which the FBI
proposes adding 1,389 new positions while simultaneously
managing attrition that can also be expected to exceed 1,000
positions. The Committee is skeptical of the FBI's ability to
meet these hiring goals, as they exceed what the Bureau was
capable of achieving in 2008 (when direct-funded on-board
positions only increased by 928 and vacancies increased by
174).
In order to improve the Committee's oversight of the FBI's
hiring program, the FBI is directed to provide immediately to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a hiring plan
for direct-funded positions in fiscal year 2010. This plan
should show on-board start of year staffing, anticipated
attrition, planned enhancement hiring, planned vacancy hiring
and expected end of year vacancies. This data should be
supplemented by quarterly reports showing the number of direct-
funded hires and separations in that quarter, as well as a
cumulative running total of each.
Hollow positions.--The FBI is still carrying at least 450
``hollow'' positions, for which funds were appropriated but
subsequently diverted by the FBI for other purposes. The
Committee discourages the FBI from continuing to carry these
existing hollow positions or taking any action that would
create additional hollow positions in the future. Consequently,
the FBI is directed to prioritize the filling of the 450
existing hollow positions prior to seeking additional new
positions in any future budget request. In addition, the FBI is
directed to notify the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations prior to taking any action that would divert
salary funds away from the positions for which they were
appropriated, either for temporary uses (e.g., equipment
purchases) or ongoing needs (e.g., pay raise absorption).
White collar crime.--The Committee is concerned that the
FBI's budget proposal focuses too exclusively on mortgage fraud
at the expense of other high priority financial fraud issues,
including fraud or abuse associated with the Troubled Asset
Relief Program and the investigation of accounting fraud, self-
dealing and market manipulation. The Committee's recommendation
includes an increase of $25,491,000, as requested, for mortgage
fraud, but the FBI is directed to also make these funds
available for other high priority financial fraud cases.
Civil rights enforcement.--The recommended level includes
an increase of $8,000,000 for civil rights enforcement, which
will complement civil rights initiatives funded in other
portions of the Department. The Committee expects these funds
to be used for investigations of human trafficking, hate crimes
and cases pursued under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights
Crimes Act.
Intellectual property enforcement.--Within amounts
provided, FBI should dedicate no less than $8,000,000 for new
agents to investigate intellectual property (IP) cases as
authorized under section 402 of the PRO-IP Act (P.L. 110-403).
These new agents are in addition to the IP-dedicated agents
funded in the Fiscal Year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act (P.L.
111-8) and identified in the Department's 2009 spend plan. The
Department is directed to provide a report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations with an expenditure
analysis of these congressional augmentations to ensure that
these agents are solely investigating and supporting the
criminal prosecution of violations of those Federal
intellectual property laws cited in the statement accompanying
P.L. 111-8. The report shall provide an accounting of the
agents placed in specific field offices with Computer Hacking
and Intellectual Property units and the types of intellectual
property investigations pursued by these agents. Corresponding
prosecutorial resources have been provided in other portions of
this Act.
Gangs and violent crime.--Gangs pose a continuing threat to
communities across the country and are a leading contributor to
rising violent crime rates in many jurisdictions. The
recommendation includes an increase of $25,000,000 to expand
the FBI's ability to confront gangs and violent crime in U.S.
communities and in Indian Country through the Safe Streets and
Safe Trails task force programs. These programs allow each FBI
field office to address violent crime, major theft, street gang
and drug-related violence through the establishment of FBI-
sponsored, long-term, proactive task forces with State, local,
tribal, and other Federal law enforcement agencies, focused on
the dismantlement and disruption of violent street gangs. The
Committee expects this increased funding to be used to expand
the resources of existing task forces, and to support the
creation of at least 3 new task forces.
Records management.--The Committee's recommendation
includes requested funding to continue records indexing and
other preparations to make FBI's case and administrative files
universally searchable and accessible, and to ensure that they
are useful intelligence and investigative tools.
Overseas Contingency Operations.--The Committee's
recommendation includes $101,066,000, as requested, for the
annualization of FBI's terrorism supplemental funds. The
Committee expects this action to end the process of annual
supplemental appropriations for the FBI.
Next Generation Identification (NGI).--The Committee
remains concerned with the size and scope of the FBI's NGI
program. With respect to size, the Committee notes that the
Incremental Development Plan (IDP) and the Integrated Master
Schedule (IMS) have been rewritten three times over nine
months, and the FBI advises that program requirements are still
not locked down. The inability to finalize program requirements
and a budget and schedule baseline raises the possibility of
significant budget overages and schedule delays. The FBI is
directed to notify the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations prior to acceptance of any Engineering Change
Proposal that will change the IDP or the IMS as they existed on
April 14, 2009.
With respect to program scope, the Committee understands
that the FBI intends to engage in trade studies to determine
the utility of adding new biometric indicators to NGI. However,
it is unclear how the FBI will judge the reliability and
suitability of these new biometrics for use as an
identification tool. The FBI is directed to report to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of the
enactment of this Act on the standards by which the Bureau will
assess the maturity of any biometric indicator being considered
for inclusion in NGI.
National Security Reviews.--The budget justification for
the National Security Division (NSD) indicates that NSD
completed fewer National Security Reviews than planned in
fiscal year 2008 because the FBI's Office of General Counsel,
who must participate in the reviews, was busy with other
requirements and commitments. This seems to imply that the FBI
has insufficient resources dedicated to assisting in these
reviews, which are required as part of the Department's
National Security Letter (NSL) audit and remediation plan. The
Committee does not understand how such a resource problem
exists, however, given that several million dollars of NSL
remediation funds remain available from prior supplemental
appropriations. If additional resources are required beyond
those existing remediation dollars, the FBI is urged to
identify those needs and request sufficient funds in fiscal
year 2011.
Retention and relocation bonuses.--The Committee is aware
of continuing concerns about annuity losses and relocation
costs associated with the implementation of the Field Office
Supervisory Term Limit policy. In light of such concerns, and
difficulties in filling leadership positions at the field
supervisor level, the FBI revised the policy in December, 2008
to extend the term limit from five to seven years. Title V of
this bill continues, and makes permanent, retention and
relocation bonus authorities provided to the FBI under 5 U.S.C.
5759. The Committee encourages the Bureau to use these
authorities to provide appropriate compensation to agents who
were relocated to high-cost areas or have been otherwise
negatively affected by the implementation of the Field Office
Supervisory Term Limit policy. The Committee expects the FBI to
propose legislation or to request appropriations, if
appropriate, to address any further impacts attributable to
this policy.

This appropriation provides funds for the construction of
FBI facilities and related activities. For fiscal year 2010,
the Committee recommends $132,796,000, which is $10,000,000
below the budget request.
Construction queue.--The budget proposes funds to begin
another new construction project at the FBI Academy even though
there are other construction projects pending for which
additional funds are required. It is inefficient to continue
appropriating funds to begin new construction without first
sufficiently funding existing projects. Consequently, the
Committee has not provided funds for any new projects this
year.

DEA's mission is to enforce the controlled substances laws
and regulations of the United States; bring to the criminal and
civil justice system those organizations and principal members
of organizations involved in the growing, manufacturing or
distribution of controlled substances appearing in or destined
for illicit traffic in the United States; and support non-
enforcement programs aimed at reducing the availability of
illicit controlled substances on the domestic and international
markets. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$2,019,682,000, which is $5,000,000 above the budget request.
Diversion control program.--In addition to the direct
appropriation, the recommendation provides $251,790,000 for the
Diversion Control program, which is fully offset with fee
collections. This funding level includes an increase of
$2,706,000 for expanded forensic support of diversion cases.
Southwest border enforcement.--The Committee recommendation
includes an increase of $24,075,000 in support of DEA's
enforcement efforts along the southwest border. These resources
will help DEA to expand its presence along the border, address
increased workload related to narcotics seizures by DHS and
respond to special field intelligence priorities.
Continuing narcoterrorism investments.--The Committee's
recommendation includes $10,000,000, as requested, for the
annualization of DEA supplemental funds that are not otherwise
provided for through the Department of State request. The
Committee expects this action to end the process of annual
supplemental appropriations for DEA.
Mobile Enforcement Teams (MET).--The Committee
recommendation includes $5,000,000 above the request to
continue the effort to reestablish Mobile Enforcement Teams
(MET) in each domestic field office. The activities of MET
should continue to include a focus on methamphetamine
enforcement.
Methamphetamine strategy.--The rise of ``smurfing'' as a
mean of evading the pseudoephedrine purchase limits contained
in the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act has created a
resurgence in the number of small toxic labs operating in the
country. The Committee directs DEA to report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of the
enactment of this Act on the smurfing enforcement strategy it
intends to pursue. The strategy report should describe both the
actions DEA can pursue with current enforcement authorities, as
well as any legislative changes that might improve DEA's
ability to identify and apprehend individuals engaged in
smurfing.
Medical marijuana policies.--Within 60 days of enactment of
this Act, the Department shall provide to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations clarification of the Department's
policy regarding enforcement of federal laws and use of federal
resources against individuals involved in medical marijuana
activities.

ATF is responsible for enforcing Federal criminal laws and
regulating the firearms and explosives industries. The combined
efforts of special agents and industry operations investigators
allow ATF to identify, investigate and recommend for
prosecution violators of the Federal firearms and explosives
laws. Additionally, ATF ensures that licensees are operating
within established laws and regulations. For fiscal year 2010,
the Committee recommends $1,105,772,000, which is $9,000,000
below the budget request.
Southwest border enforcement.--The Committee recommendation
includes an increase of $17,989,000 in support of ATF's Project
Gunrunner. This brings the total amount available to ATF for
weapons trafficking along the border to $59,929,000. However,
$10,000,000 of that total is one-time money provided through
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Accordingly, these
funds need to be built into ATF's regular appropriation no
later than fiscal year 2011 in order to avoid a diminution of
effort directed to Project Gunrunner. The Committee directs ATF
to ensure that these funds are annualized into its fiscal year
2011 request.
eTrace reconfiguration.--ATF may need to expand and
reconfigure eTrace and related systems in order to efficiently
find and package responses to trace data requests as permitted
by the bill language associated with this account. If
additional resources are necessary for this reconfiguration,
ATF is encouraged to use the Department's authorities under
P.L. 102-140 to access up to $8,500,000 of expired prior year
funds for this purpose.
National Center for Explosives Research and Training
(NCETR).--Funds associated with Phase Two of the NCETR project
have not been included in the Committee's recommendation. While
the Committee supports the work that will be done at NCETR,
limited fiscal resources must be first directed to the
southwest border firearms trafficking efforts that support the
Department's larger Mexican Cartel Strategy.
Gangs and violent crime.--The Committee recommendation
includes $10,000,000 for ATF's Violent Crime Impact Team (VCIT)
program for violent crime and gang enforcement. VCITs are
interagency task forces that identify, target, disrupt and
refer for prosecution violent criminals and gang members. The
Committee expects these resources to be used to expand the
activities of existing VCITs and to establish new VCITs in
geographic areas of highest need.

Federal Prison System
SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is responsible for confining
offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and
community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-
efficient and appropriately secure, and for providing work and
other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in
becoming law-abiding citizens upon release. The Committee
recommends $6,077,231,000 for the salaries and expenses of the
Federal Prison System, which is $481,477,000 over the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level and $97,400,000 above the budget
request.
Correctional officer staffing.--The Federal prison
population has grown explosively over the last 20 years. Rising
from roughly 25,000 prisoners in 1980, the population is
estimated to grow to more than 210,000 by the end of fiscal
year 2010. Correspondingly, the overcrowding rate is projected
to rise to 38 percent in 2010, up from 37 percent in 2009.
Chronic underfunding based on inadequate budget requests have
forced BOP to rely excessively on correctional officer overtime
and the diversion of program staff instead of hiring additional
correctional officers, leaving the workforce spread dangerously
thin and compromising BOP's ability to operate the Federal
Prison System in a safe and efficient manner.
Although Congress provided an additional $160,000,000 above
the budget request for fiscal year 2009, BOP used those
additional funds to meet the basic operational needs of its
facilities, and plans no net increase in staffing in fiscal
year 2009 to begin to address its understaffing problem. The
Committee is extremely concerned that the proposed budget for
fiscal year 2010 would once again not permit BOP to manage the
basic operational needs of its prisons.
It is particularly concerning that the BOP budget
justification describes as ``program increases'' a number of
inflationary cost increases that should be considered budget
adjustments required to meet BOP's basic operational needs. In
addition, while the BOP budget proposes funding increases to
activate two new prisons and to hire a significant number of
new correctional officers, the Committee is not convinced that
BOP will actually be able to carry out those proposals while
its basic operational needs continue to be underfunded.
The Committee believes that the activation of newly
constructed prisons and a reduction in the staff-to-prisoner
ratio must not be delayed. As a result, the Committee directs
that no less than $70,568,000 of the total salaries and
expenses appropriation be used entirely for additional
correctional officer staffing. As requested, no less than
$52,696,000 of the total shall be used to activate FCI McDowell
and no less than $49,424,000 of the total shall be used to
activate FCI Mendota, including all net new staffing that will
be required to operate these facilities. If additional salaries
and expenses funding is required to meet BOP's operating needs
during fiscal year 2010, the Committee fully expects the
Department to propose a reprogramming of funds from outside BOP
to meet those needs.
The Committee notes that the Government Accountability
Office (GAO) is currently evaluating BOP's budget formulation
methodology, and expects BOP and the Department to review
carefully any recommendations made by GAO when formulating
BOP's fiscal year 2011 budget to ensure that sufficient funding
to meet basic operationial needs is proposed. The Department
should also present the fiscal year 2011 budget for BOP in a
way that accurately differentiates non-discretionary,
inflationary cost adjustments to BOP's base budget requirements
from program and staffing enhancements.
To ensure that BOP's correctional worker staffing needs are
clearly defined, the Committee directs BOP to provide a report
to the Committee, within 60 days of enactment of this Act,
identifying the appropriate number of correctional workers,
differentiated by staffing category, required at each BOP
prison facility to ensure the safe and effective operation of
that facility. The Committee understands that staffing needs
vary based on each facility's security level, programming
needs, design, and other factors, but strongly believes that
assessing staffing needs on a facility-by-facility basis is a
more effective way of establishing staffing goals than using a
system-wide staff-to-prisoner ratio. The Committee directs BOP
to premise its funding proposal for staffing in fiscal year
2011 on such a facility-specific assessment of staffing needs.
Federal Prison System population.--Between 2010 and 2014,
BOP estimates that it will experience a net growth of 22,500
prisoners while planning to add only an additional 13,000 beds
in new prisons during the same time period. With the BOP
prisoner population currently exceeding the rated capacity of
BOP facilities by 37 percent, the Federal Prison System
prisoner population is on an unsustainable path. While the
Committee fully supports consequences for convicted offenders
that are commensurate with the seriousness of their crimes, it
also notes the importance of ensuring that those consequences
minimize costs to the American taxpayer and reduce the
incidence of recidivism.
The Committee is aware that a number of States, through a
reform effort known as Justice Reinvestment, have initiated
efforts to identify the major drivers of the growth in their
prison populations and implement evidenced-based reforms
designed to reduce prison population growth and recidivism
while restoring high-crime communities and improving public
safety. These States have found that the growth in prison
populations is primarily fueled by high recidivism rates,
including high probation and parole revocations that are often
driven by technical violations. These factors lead to higher
prison admissions that require more investments in prison
construction and prison operations. With bipartisan support,
evidence-based criminal justice reforms have helped a number of
States, including Texas and Kansas, significantly reduce
recidivism rates and reduce the need for new prison
construction, allowing States to reinvest resources in prisoner
reentry, crime prevention, and other programs that help to
further reduce recidivism.
The Committee is aware that a similar effort is underway at
the Federal level through a high level Department task force
that is evaluating various legislative and administrative
options for reforming the Federal criminal justice system in
ways that could help reduce the population of the Federal
Prison System. The Committee strongly encourages this effort,
and particularly urges the Department and BOP to consider
evidence-based policy changes that BOP could make under its
current statutory authority that would help it responsibly
manage its offender population while reducing recidivism,
improving public safety, and reducing future costs to the
American taxpayer.
The Committee notes that an American Bar Association
Commission on Effective Criminal Sanctions roundtable recently
made a number of recommendations for using current legal
authorities to reduce the number of nonviolent offenders in BOP
facilities in ways that could also contribute to reduced
recidivism among those offenders. Among the recommendations
were a proposal to change the way BOP calculates good time to
make it consistent with the guidelines of the U.S. Sentencing
Commission and a proposal to reduce the sentences of nonviolent
criminal aliens who agree to be deported, a tool that a number
of States are successfully using to reduce their own prison
populations and reduce prison expenditures.
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), an agency
within the BOP that provides support and assistance to Federal,
State and local correctional agencies, is currently evaluating
the potential of various evidence-based criminal justice
reforms on State prison populations to quantify the potential
cost savings that could be achieved if those reforms were
implemented. The Committee directs the NIC to expand its
analysis to include the potential effect of reforms on the
Federal prison population and to provide a report to the
Committee on the results by March 1, 2010.
Second Chance Act implementation.--The Second Chance Act
(P.L. 110-199) imposed new requirements on BOP to facilitate
the successful reentry of offenders back into their communities
and reduce the rate of recidivism. Among those requirements are
the establishment of recidivism reduction goals and increased
collaboration with State, Tribal, local, community, and faith-
based organizations to improve the reentry of prisoners. The
Committee is aware that BOP is currently developing an Inmate
Skills Development (ISD) strategy, as required by the Second
Chance Act, to assess a prisoner's skills upon incarceration
and provide programming based on that assessment to fill skill
deficits and address other reentry needs. The Committee
recommendation includes $13,778,000 and 61 FTE for ISD and
other Second Chance Act activities, as proposed by the
Department. The Committee notes, however, that BOP has
indicated that approximately $80,000,000 is required to fully
implement its Second Chance Act responsibilities. The Committee
expects the Department to propose significant additional
funding for this purpose in the fiscal year 2011 budget
request.
The Second Chance Act clarified that BOP has the authority
to place offenders in community corrections, including
residential reentry centers (RRCs), for up to 12 months to
facilitate their successful reentry and reduce recidivism. In
addition, the Act directed BOP to provide incentives, such as
increased time in community corrections, to encourage prisoners
to fully participate in skills development programs. The Second
Chance Act also makes clear that community corrections may
include a period of home confinement for up to the shorter of
10 percent of an offender's term of imprisonment or six months.
BOP has indicated that decisions about length of stay in
RRCs are influenced by a higher marginal cost of RRCs compared
to the marginal cost of keeping a prisoner in a BOP facility.
While the Committee appreciates the short term trade-offs
involved in annual budgeting for RRCs, it believes that the
increased use of RRCs and home confinement, when implemented as
part of a comprehensive prisoner reentry program, can
contribute to reduced recidivism, safer and more stable
communities, and reduced costs for the Federal Prison System.
The Committee strongly urges the Department to propose
significant additional funding in the fiscal year 2011 budget
submission to increase the use of RRCs as part of a
comprehensive prisoner reentry program.
In addition, given that home confinement--with appropriate
supervision and services--is significantly less costly than
either confinement in BOP facilities or RRCs, BOP should make
appropriate use of this option when considering how to provide
reentering prisoners with up to 12 months in community
corrections. The Committee directs BOP to report quarterly on
the average length of stay in community corrections, defined as
both RRCs and home confinement.
Critical to prisoner reentry and recidivism reduction are
substance abuse, mental health, educational, vocational, and
other services provided in prisons or during confinement in
community corrections. Substance abuse treatment is
particularly essential because 40 percent of inmates enter the
Federal Prison System with a substance abuse disorder. Within
the amount provided for salaries and expenses, not less than
$90,000,000 is made available for drug abuse treatment services
for all eligible inmates as required by law, and not less than
$150,000,000 is made available for inmate education and
vocational training programs.
To the greatest extent possible, BOP shall prioritize the
participation of nonviolent offenders in the Residential Drug
Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP) in a way that maximizes the
benefit of sentence reduction opportunities for reducing the
prisoner population. In addition, as part of its RDAP, the
Committee encourages BOP to conduct a pilot initiative on the
use of anti-craving medications as a component of drug abuse
treatment. Such an initiative should continue the use of anti-
craving medications through an offender's period of confinement
in community corrections and period of supervised release. The
Committee encourages BOP to collaborate on this initiative with
the National Institute of Drug Abuse, which is currently
supporting a research study on the effectiveness of anti-
craving medication on probationers and parolees.
As part of its portion of the Department's fiscal year 2010
spending plan, BOP shall include a description of all of its
activities related to Second Chance Act implementation,
including inmate drug abuse treatment programs, inmate
education and vocational training programs, and all other
program services designed to facilitate offender reentry, along
with the estimated costs associated with those activities in
fiscal year 2010. The Committee also directs BOP to include, as
part of the Department's fiscal year 2011 budget submission,
the estimated costs of full implementation of each of its
programs and activities related to offender reentry in fiscal
year 2011.
In addition, to ensure that BOP is benefiting from outside
expertise and viewpoints, the Committee directs BOP to convene
an independent panel to make recommendations for future options
for the development of prisoner reentry programs, including
options related to the role of faith-based and community
programs. The Committee expects the report of this panel to be
submitted with the Department's fiscal year 2010 spending plan.
The Committee also directs GAO to evaluate BOP's
implementation of Second Chance Act requirements, including the
adequacy of funding proposals by the Department to carry out
those requirements, and to provide recommendations to the
Committee by March 1, 2010, on how BOP should adapt its
facilities, programs, and budgeting processes to fully
implement the provisions of the Act that apply to BOP.
Counterterrorism activities.--Within the amount provided in
this account, not less than $14,200,000 is for the full
estimated cost of BOP's counterterrorism activities, including
monitoring and translating the communications of incarcerated
terrorists and disseminating information to law enforcement
agencies, as appropriate. These activities have been partially
funded through supplemental appropriations in previous fiscal
years.
Reimbursement for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) detainees.--The Committee directs BOP to work
cooperatively with the Department of Homeland Security to
transfer expeditiously the estimated 850 ICE detainees who are
currently housed in the Federal Prison System, or to obtain
prompt and fair reimbursement from ICE for the costs of
incarcerating them.
National Institute of Corrections (NIC).--The NIC provides
valuable training and services, including research and
evaluation, technical assistance, information sharing and
planning to State and local adult corrections agencies, the BOP
and other Federal agencies. To address deficiencies identified
by the U.S. Census Bureau in the reporting of inmate address
information, the Committee encourages the NIC to work with
State corrections agencies to develop better procedures and
systems for collecting and maintaining corrections records.
Stun lethal fences.--The Committee notes that BOP
correctional officers have expressed concerns about the use of
``stun lethal'' fences at BOP facilities in lieu of
correctional officers in perimeter towers. BOP is directed to
submit a report to the Committee, within 60 days of enactment
of this Act, on the reliability and effectiveness of these
fences.
Privately-contracted prison facilities.--Based on cost data
provided by BOP, the cost of contracting with private sector
companies for the use and operation of low security prison
facilities appears to cost more than operating BOP low security
facilities when discounting BOP's cost of inmate programming,
which is not provided in most private facilities. The Committee
directs BOP to submit a report, by March 1, 2010, on its long
term strategy for minimizing the cost of incarcerating low
security criminal alien offenders, including an assessment of
the potential for closed military facilities to be converted to
low security prisons operated by BOP.
BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $575,807,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 96,744,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 96,744,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... -479,063,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The Committee recommends $96,744,000 for the construction,
modernization, maintenance, and repair of prison and detention
facilities housing Federal inmates, which is $479,063,000 below
the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the request. Of
the total, no less than $71,358,000 is for modernization and
repair (M&R) activities.
Modernization and repair.--The Committee is extremely
concerned about the growing backlog of health and safety
repairs in Federal prison facilities. Thirty-four (one-third)
of BOP's 114 institutions are more than 50 years old, and most
have not undergone major renovations since they were
constructed or acquired by BOP. In addition, the BOP has a
backlog of major modernization and repair (M&R) projects valued
at nearly $300,000,000. BOP's budget justification indicates
that it ``strives to follow'' the Federal Facilities Council
recommendation of budgeting annually for M&R needs equal to two
percent of the asset value of its facilities, which in the case
of BOP facilities totals more than $400,000,000. Unfortunately,
the Department has proposed only $71,358,000 for M&R activities
in fiscal year 2010. BOP is directed to provide a report to the
Committee, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, itemizing
all pending M&R projects for Federal prison facilities,
specifying when each project was first identified, and
estimating the cost associated with each project. The Committee
also directs BOP to provide an updated M&R backlog list as part
of its fiscal year 2011 budget request.
Construction.--The BOP budget proposes $25,386,000 for
construction-related activities, including $10,000,000 required
for lease payments for the Oklahoma Transfer Center. Although
BOP plans to activate four new prisons in 2014, it will be
unable to maintain that schedule without a significant new
construction appropriation by fiscal year 2011. The Committee
notes, however, that even if BOP stays on track in activating
planned new prisons, it will add approximately 13,000 new beds
between 2010 and 2014 at the same time that the BOP population
is expected to grow by 22,500. The Committee expects the
Department to ensure that the fiscal year 2011 budget proposal
for BOP contains sufficient resources for BOP to at least stay
on track with its current plan to activate new prisons, and for
BOP to address its M&R backlog.
LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES, FEDERAL PRISON INDUSTRIES,
INCORPORATED
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $2,328,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 2,700,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 2,700,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +372,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
Created by Federal statute in 1934, Federal Prison
Industries (FPI) operates as a wholly-owned, self-sustaining
Government corporation. FPI employs and provides skills
training to Federal inmates.
The Committee recommends a limitation on administrative
expenses of $2,700,000 for FPI, which is $372,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the request. In
testimony before the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science
and Related Agencies, the BOP Director stated that FPI is the
BOP's most important correctional program because it has been
proven to substantially reduce recidivism and it is self-funded
from the proceeds of sales. In addition, it keeps prisoners
productively occupied, making them substantially less likely to
engage in misconduct. The Committee is concerned that the
percentage of BOP's inmate population involved with FPI has
decreased 30 percent from just six years ago. The Committee
urges the Department to explore new program models, and to seek
new funding and authorities, as necessary, to create additional
inmate work and training programs that prepare inmates for
successful reentry into the community. The Department shall
submit, within 60 days after the enactment of this Act, a plan
describing such options for increasing inmate work
opportunities.
State and Local Law Enforcement Activities
In total, the bill provides $3,423,988,000 for State and
local law enforcement and crime prevention grant programs,
which is $196,888,000 more than the fiscal year 2009 funding
level and $670,500,000 above the budget request. The Committee
directs the Department to work closely with recipients of
congressionally-designated funding to ensure that funded
projects are consistent with authorized criminal justice
purposes and goals. No grant funding shall be used for luxury
items, real estate, or construction projects.
Office on Violence Against Women
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PREVENTION AND PROSECUTION PROGRAMS
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $415,000,000

Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted\1\....................... -15,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request\1\....................... -14,000,000
\1\The recommended level does not include funding for programs that were
funded through this account in fiscal year 2009 that are administered
by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). For fiscal year 2010, funding
for each of these OJP-administered programs is appropriated directly
to OJP at the fiscal year 2009 level.
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) coordinates
legislative and other initiatives relating to violence against
women and administers grant programs to help prevent, detect,
and stop violence against women, including domestic and dating
violence, sexual assault, and stalking. A number of programs
that received funding through this appropriation in fiscal year
2009 are funded in this bill through the Office of Justice
Programs (OJP) appropriation because they are administered by
OJP. These include: the CASA Special Advocates program; the
Training for Judicial Personnel program; the Stalking Database
program; the Research on Violence Against Women program;
Training Programs to Assist Probation and Parole Officers; and
the Closed Circuit Television program. The Committee recommends
funding through OJP for each of these programs at the fiscal
year 2009 level. For grants and programs administered directly
by OVW, the Committee recommends $400,000,000 in fiscal year
2010, $11,000,000 above the comparable budget request and the
comparable fiscal year 2009 level.
The Committee directs OVW, as part of the Department's
spending plan for fiscal year 2010, to provide details on OVW's
planned training and technical assistance (T&TA) activities and
research and statistics activities. The spending plan shall
differentiate those activities performed via grant, cooperative
agreement, interagency agreement, under contract, and performed
directly by OVW. In addition, the Committee directs the
Department, as part of the fiscal year 2011 budget submission,
to provide similar details on OVW's planned T&TA activities and
research and statistics activities for fiscal year 2011.
The funding requested through OVW for the Safe Start
program is not provided through OVW because Safe Start is
administered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention, within the Office of Justice Programs. The
Committee instead recommends funding for Safe Start through the
Juvenile Justice appropriation.

by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). For fiscal year 2010, funding
for each of these OJP-administered programs is appropriated directly
to OJP at the fiscal year 2009 level. For programs administered by
OVW, the total is an increase of $11,000,000 above the comparable FY
2009 funding level.
STOP formula grants (grants to combat violence against
women).--The Committee recommendation provides $200,000,000,
which is $10,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the
request, for coordinated, multidisciplinary efforts to improve
the criminal justice system's response to violent crimes
against women and encourage the development and improvement of
related law enforcement and prosecution strategies. Within the
funding provided, $3,000,000 is made available to the National
Institute of Justice for research and evaluation of programs to
prevent violence against women and $18,000,000 is available for
transitional housing assistance. An additional $225,000,000 was
appropriated for STOP grants through the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. 111-5.
Grants to encourage arrest policies.--The Committee
recommendation provides $60,000,000, equal to the fiscal year
2009 level and the request, for grants to encourage
jurisdictions to implement mandatory and pro-arrest policies as
an effective domestic violence intervention.
Rural domestic violence assistance.--The Committee
recommendation provides $41,000,000, equal to the fiscal year
2009 level and the request, for Rural Domestic Violence
Assistance Grants, which enhance the safety of victims of
domestic violence, dating violence, and child abuse in rural
America. This funding is equal to the fiscal year 2009 level
and the request.
Violence on college campuses.--The Committee recommendation
provides $9,500,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and
the request, to encourage institutions of higher education to
adopt comprehensive, coordinated responses to violent crimes
against women on campuses.
Civil legal assistance.--The Committee recommendation
provides $37,000,000 to increase the availability of legal
assistance necessary to provide effective aid to victims of
domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, or dating violence
who are seeking relief in legal matters arising as a
consequence of that abuse or violence. This amount is equal to
the fiscal year 2009 level and the request.
Sexual assault victims services.--The Committee
recommendation provides $13,000,000, which is $1,000,000 above
the fiscal year 2009 level and the request, to assist state
coalitions in coordinating victim services activities, and for
collaboration and coordination among Federal, State, and local
entities engaged in activities to prevent violence against
women.
Elder abuse grant program.--The Committee recommendation
provides $4,250,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and
the request, for community-based projects designed to improve
the justice system's response to elder abuse and violence.
Safe haven project.--The Committee recommendation provides
$14,000,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the
request, for efforts to prevent and reduce the impact of
children's exposure to family and community violence.
Education and training for disabled female victims.--The
Committee recommendation provides $6,750,000, equal to the
fiscal year 2009 level and the request, to provide education,
consultation and information to service providers to address
obstacles encountered by women with disabilities who are
victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Court training and improvements program.--The Committee
recommendation provides $3,000,000, equal to the fiscal year
2009 level and the budget request, for efforts to improve court
responses to adult and youth domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
Services for children/youth exposed to violence.--The
Committee recommendation includes $3,000,000, equal to the
fiscal year 2009 level and the request, for services for
children, including direct counseling, advocacy, and mentoring.
Advocates for youth/services for youth victims (STARY).--
The Committee recommendation includes $3,500,000, equal to the
fiscal year 2009 level and the request, for projects that
provide direct counseling, advocacy, legal, and mental health
services for children and young adults who have experienced
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking.
National tribal sex offender registry.--For maintaining a
National Tribal Sex Offender Registry, the Committee provides
$1,000,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the
request.
Engaging men and youth in prevention.--For programs to
engage men and youth in preventing domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, and stalking, the Committee provides
$3,000,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the
request.
National resource center on workplace responses.--The
Committee recommendation provides $1,000,000, equal to the
fiscal year 2009 level and the request, for a national resource
center on workplace responses to assist victims of domestic and
sexual violence.
Jessica Gonzales victim assistance program.--The Committee
recognizes the critical value of victim assistants who act as
liaisons between local law enforcement agencies and victims of
domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in
order to improve the enforcement of protection orders. The
placement of these special victim assistants is an eligible
purpose for funding under the STOP Violence Against Women
formula grant program.
Salaries and expenses.--The Committee provides management
and administration funding for the Office on Violence Against
Women through a salaries and expenses appropriation under OJP.
As a result, no administrative overhead costs shall be deducted
from the programs funded from this account.
Office of Justice Programs
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) was established to
provide Federal leadership, coordination, and assistance to
make the Nation's justice system more efficient and effective
in preventing and responding to crime. OJP is responsible for
administering grants; collecting statistical data and
conducting analyses; identifying emerging criminal justice
issues; developing and testing promising approaches to address
these issues; evaluating program results; and disseminating
these findings and other information to State, tribal, and
local governments.
The Committee recommends $2,221,988,000 for the Office of
Justice Programs, which is $643,500,000 above the budget
request and $155,388,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level.
The Committee directs OJP, as part of the Department's
spending plan for fiscal year 2010, to provide details of its
planned training and technical assistance (T&TA) activities and
research and statistics activities. The spending plan shall
differentiate those activities performed via grant, cooperative
agreement, interagency agreement, under contract, and performed
directly by OJP. In addition, the Committee directs the
Department, as part of the fiscal year 2011 budget submission,
to provide details of OJP's planned T&TA activities and
research and statistics activities for fiscal year 2011.
Evidence-based programs.--The Committee urges OJP to
ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that competitive
grants are used for evidence-based programs and activities.
Services for victims of rape.--The Committee is aware that
an estimated one in six women in the United States will
experience a sexual assault in her lifetime, and that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation ranks rape as the second most
violent crime, second only to murder. The Department of Justice
is encouraged to continue supporting programs, including
hotline programs, which facilitate the delivery of confidential
recovery services to rape victims.

Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
To achieve greater transparency, efficiency, and
accountability in the management, administration, and oversight
of the Justice Department grant programs, Congress established
a new salaries and expenses account for fiscal year 2009 within
State and Local Law Enforcement Activities. For fiscal year
2010, the Committee provides this appropriation within the
Office of Justice Programs, as requested, to facilitate the
allocation of salaries and expenses funding among the grant
offices.
A total of $213,388,000 is provided for salaries and
expenses for Department of Justice grant programs in fiscal
year 2010, including $139,218,000 for the Office of Justice
Programs (OJP); $37,462,000 for transfer to the Office of
Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS); and $15,708,000
for transfer to the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The
Committee expects all activities related to the management and
administration of grant programs, grants, and cooperative
agreements--including activities related to peer review--to be
supported with salaries and expenses funding. Training and
technical assistance (T&TA) activities and research and
statistics activities performed by OJP, OVW, and COPS, or
through interagency agreements or under contract for OJP, OVW,
and COPS, may be supported with program funds, subject to the
submission of details related to these costs in the
Department's fiscal year 2010 spending plan.
Within the funds provided, $21,000,000 is made available to
the Office of Audit, Assessment, and Management (OAAM). The
Committee expects OAAM to continue to develop its capacity to
evaluate, in coordination with the National Institute of
Justice, the effectiveness of programs and projects funded by
OJP, OVW, and COPS, using rigorous research and evaluation
methods that generate valid evidence on the effectiveness of
crime prevention strategies.

National Institute of Justice (NIJ).--The Committee
includes $48,000,000 in direct funding for the NIJ, which is
equal to the budget request and the fiscal year 2009 level. NIJ
is the primary Federal source of research and development in
the field of criminal justice.
National crime victimization survey (NCVS).--Within the
funds provided for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the
Committee directs $26,000,000, as requested, for the NCVS,
which since the 1970s has been a critical tool for
understanding the costs and context of crime victimization in
the United States. Also within the funds provided, the
Committee makes available the requested $15,000,000 to
implement and test the redesign of the methodology for the
NCVS. The redesign of the NCVS methodology was recommended in
the National Research Council's report, Surveying Victims:
Options for Conducting the National Crime Victimization Survey,
and BJS is currently conducting a program of research to
develop the new methodology. The redesigned survey is intended
to provide better sub-national data and more concurrent
information on emerging trends and issues, and to improve the
cost efficiency of the data collection process.
Victim notification.--The Committee includes $12,000,000 to
support the Statewide Automated Victim Information Notification
(SAVIN) program, which helps protect the legal rights of crime
victims by providing registered victims with timely and
accurate information about changes to the status of their
offender, including information about offender relocation and
release.
Regional information sharing.--The Committee recommends
$45,000,000 for regional information sharing to ensure the
efficient and effective automated exchange of crime and
terrorism information among Federal, State, and local agencies.
The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level and the request.
Missing and exploited children.--The recommendation
includes $61,000,000 for the Missing and Exploited Children
program, $1,000,000 above the budget request, which is
sufficient to provide continued level funding for all ongoing
programs funded in fiscal year 2009. An additional $50,000,000
was provided for the Internet Crimes Against Children Regional
Task Force program as part of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. 111-5.
Hate crimes.--The Committee directs the Bureau of Justice
Assistance (BJA) to assess the feasibility and associated costs
of establishing a national helpline for victims of hate crimes.
In addition, the Committee directs NIJ to evaluate trends in
hate crimes against new immigrants, individuals who are
perceived to be immigrants, and Hispanic-Americans, and to
assess the underlying causes behind any increase in hate crimes
against such groups.
Forensic science.--The National Research Council report,
Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path
Forward, called for improving the scientific foundations of the
forensic disciplines, particularly those that are dependent on
qualitative analyses and expert interpretation of observed
patterns. The Committee is aware that NIJ has initiated efforts
to respond to the National Research Council's recommendations,
and urges NIJ to continue and accelerate those efforts.
Collaboration among state corrections, alcohol and drug
abuse, and mental health program directors.--The Committee is
aware that the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) has worked
with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) to support collaboration among the
Association of State Corrections Administrators (ASCA), the
National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors
(NASADAD), and the National Association of State Mental Health
Program Directors (NASMHPD), and encourages BJA to continue
efforts to foster such collaboration.
Threat assessment for state courts.--The Committee is
concerned about reports of a rising trend in violence and
threats of violence against State courts and court officials.
Within the funds provided, the Committee encourages BJA to
support efforts to establish and maintain threat assessment
databases, based on core data elements determined by BJA that
facilitate the collection of uniform data.
Salaries and expenses.--The Committee provides management
and administration funding for Justice Assistance programs
through a salaries and expenses appropriation under OJP. As a
result, no administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from
the programs funded from this account.

The Committee recommends $1,312,500,000 for State and Local
Law Enforcement Assistance programs, which is $16,000,000 below
the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $584,500,000 above the
request. For fiscal year 2010, this appropriation includes
funding for several programs administered by the Office of
Justice Programs (OJP) that were funded for fiscal year 2009
through the Office on Violence Against Women and the Office of

Edward Byrne memorial justice assistance grant program.--
The Committee recommends $529,000,000 for activities under the
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program.
When excluding one-time fiscal year 2009 costs for
reimbursement of State and local governments for security and
other expenses related to the presidential transition and
inauguration, the funding level for this account is $10,000,000
above the fiscal year 2009 level and the request. When
excluding $10,000,000 made available in fiscal year 2010 for
recidivism reduction activities, funding for Byrne-JAG formula
grants in fiscal year 2010 is equal to the fiscal year 2009
level. An additional $2,000,000,000 was provided for this
program as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009, P.L. 111-5.
Funding under this program is authorized for law
enforcement programs; prosecution and court programs;
prevention and education programs; corrections programs,
including community corrections; drug treatment and enforcement
programs; planning, evaluation, and technology improvement
programs; and crime victim and witness programs, other than
compensation. Funding is not available for luxury items, real
estate, or construction projects.
Within the amount provided, $2,000,000 is for intelligence
training for State and local law enforcement entities;
$5,000,000 is for the National Institute of Justice to help
local units of government identify, select, develop, modernize,
and purchase new technologies for use by law enforcement; and
$10,000,000 is for technical assistance, incentive grants, and
other activities in support of comprehensive, evidenced-based
criminal justice reform and recidivism reduction efforts by
States.
The Committee believes that JAG funding should be targeted
by State and local governments to programs and activities that
are in conformance with a state-wide, evidenced-based strategic
plan developed through broad stakeholder involvement. The
Committee strongly urges State Administering Agencies (SAAs) to
develop or update existing, statewide plans as soon as
practicable and to submit those plans to the Attorney General
for review. The Attorney General shall work with States to
complete such plans as soon as reasonable and shall make
technical assistance available to assist States in constructing
such plans.
Byrne discretionary grants.--The Committee provides
$124,000,000 for Byrne discretionary grants to prevent crime,
improve the criminal justice system, provide victims' services,
and for other similar activities. The accompanying table
details funding for congressionally-designated activities,
which are incorporated by reference in the bill:
Byrne competitive grants.--The Committee recommendation
includes $40,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed grants to
programs of national significance to prevent crime, improve the
administration of justice or assist victims of crime. An
additional $225,000,000 was provided for this program as part
of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L.
111-5. As part of its portion of the Department's spending
plan, OJP is directed to detail the criteria and methodology
that will be used to award grants. It is expected that national
programs that have previously received funding under the Byrne
discretionary program and programs for which specific funding
is designated in this Act will be eligible to compete for
funding under this competitive grant program.
Tribal assistance.--The Committee strongly supports efforts
to help Tribes improve the capacity of their criminal justice
systems. The Committee recommendation includes $47,000,000 for
Tribal Assistance, which is $22,000,000 above the fiscal year
2009 level and the request. Of the total, $10,000,000 is for
tribal detention facilities, $25,000,000 is for tribal courts,
and $12,000,000 is for alcohol and substance abuse grants. An
additional $225,000,000 was provided for tribal detention
facilities as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, P.L. 111-5. Separate funding for tribal law
enforcement activities is provided through the Office of
Community Oriented Policing.
The Committee directs OJP to coordinate with the Bureau of
Indian Affairs in the Department of the Interior in developing
a priority list for detention facility construction, targeting
tribal areas with the greatest need, and to incorporate the
priority system into the ranking criteria for grants. The
Committee also directs OJP to develop a voluntary annual
training program for tribal court officials and judges to
promote improvements in tribal judicial systems.
State criminal alien assistance program (SCAAP).--The
Committee recommends $300,000,000 for reimbursement to States
and localities for their costs for incarcerating criminal
aliens, a decrease of $100,000,000 below the fiscal year 2009
level. The Administration proposed the elimination of the
program.
Southwest border prosecutions.--The Committee recommends
$30,000,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the budget
request, to provide assistance to State and local law
enforcement (including prosecutors, probation officers, courts,
and detention facilities) along the southwest border related to
the investigation and prosecution of drug and alien cases
referred from Federal arrests.
Victims of trafficking.--The Committee recommendation
includes $10,000,000 for task force activities and services
related to victims of human trafficking. The Committee is aware
that the Office for Victims of Crime is considering a
solicitation for demonstration grants to target minor victims
of human trafficking that are resident aliens or U.S. citizens.
The Committee strongly supports this initiative and encourages
OVC to move forward with the proposed solicitation.
Residential substance abuse treatment.--The Committee
recommendation includes $30,000,000 for State prison substance
abuse treatment programs, an increase of $20,000,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 level and equal to the request. This program
helps State and local governments develop, implement, and
improve residential substance abuse treatment programs in
correctional facilities, and establish and maintain community-
based aftercare services for probationers and parolees.
Mentally Ill Offender Act.--Mentally Ill Offender Act
funding helps State and local governments design and implement
programs, including mental health courts, that improve the
response of the criminal justice system to offenders with
mental illness. The Department proposed a combined
appropriation of $59,000,000 for drug, mental health, and
problem solving courts, while proposing the elimination of
separate funding for drug courts and for activities under the
Mentally Ill Offender Act. Because the Mentally Ill Offender
Act supports activities other than mental health courts, the
Committee continues to provide a separate appropriation for
activities under the Act. The Committee recommendation includes
$12,000,000 for Mentally Ill Offender Act activities for fiscal
year 2010, an increase of $2,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009
level.
Drug courts.--The Committee strongly supports drug courts,
which serve a vital role in the Nation's justice system. By
providing alternatives to the prosecution and incarceration of
offenders with substance abuse problems, drug courts help
rebuild lives, support families, and reduce recidivism and the
costs of incarceration. The Committee continues to provide a
separate appropriation for drug courts, recommending
$45,000,000 for the program for fiscal year 2010, an increase
of $5,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level. To facilitate
the use of State clinical treatment standards, discourage
system fragmentation, promote sustainability, and encourage the
use of common client level performance and outcomes data, the
Committee strongly encourages collaboration between drug courts
and State agencies that oversee substance abuse prevention and
treatment services.
Hal Rogers prescription drug monitoring program.--The
Committee includes $7,000,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009
level and the request, for the Prescription Drug Monitoring
Program. This program assists States in developing systems to
monitor prescription drugs and scheduled listed chemical
products on either an intra-state or inter-state basis. The
Committee expects OJP to continue working with the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) to implement this program.
Prison rape prevention and prosecution.--The Committee
provides $15,000,000 for grants to prevent, respond to and
prosecute prison rape, including training, education and
services to victims. The recommended funding level is an
increase of $2,500,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the
Administration request.
Justice for all.--The Committee recommendation includes
$5,500,000 for capital litigation/wrongful conviction review
grants, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level, and equal to the
level proposed by the Department for capital litigation grants.
Of the amount provided, $2,500,000 is made available for
capital litigation grants, which improve the quality of
representation and the reliability of verdicts in local and
state capital cases through training for prosecutors, defense
counsel and trial judges. Also within the amount provided,
$3,000,000 is for competitive grants to public and non-profit
entities that work to exonerate individuals who have been
wrongfully convicted.
Missing Alzheimer's disease patient program.--The Committee
recommendation includes $2,000,000 for Missing Alzheimer's
Disease Patient Program grants, equal to the fiscal year 2009
level. The Department proposed no funding for this program.
Economic, high-tech and cybercrime prevention.--The
Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000, an increase of
$2,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level, for competitive
grants to State and local law enforcement agencies as
authorized by the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for
Intellectual Property Act of 2008, P.L. 110-403. The
Administration proposed no funding for this program.
CASA-special advocates.--CASA supports programs designed to
ensure that abused and neglected children benefit from timely
and effective representation in dependency court hearings. For
fiscal year 2010, the Committee provides $15,000,000 for the
CASA program, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the
budget request.
Training for judicial personnel.--The Committee recommends
$2,500,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the
request, for programs to improve the ability of judicial
personnel to handle child abuse and neglect cases.
Stalking database.--For grants to upgrade State and local
protection order systems, the Committee recommends $3,000,000,
equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the request.
Research on violence against Indian women.--For
comprehensive research on violence against Native American
women, the Committee recommends $1,000,000, equal to the fiscal
year 2009 level and the request.
Training program to assist probation and parole officers.--
For training and technical assistance to State, local, and
tribal jurisdictions to establish comprehensive strategies to
manage sex offenders under community supervision, the Committee
recommends $3,500,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and
the request.
Closed circuit television grants.--The Committee
recommendation provides $1,000,000 for closed circuit
television grants for televised testimony, equal to the fiscal
year 2009 level. The Department proposed no funding for this
program.
Violent gangs and gun crimes.--The Committee recommends
$15,000,000 for competitive grants to State and local law
enforcement agencies to combat violent crime, with special
emphasis on areas plagued by violent gangs. This amount is
equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the request.
Bulletproof vests.--The Committee provides $25,000,000 to
assist State and local law enforcement agencies in purchasing
bullet and stab resistant vests, equal to the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and the request.
NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007.--The Committee
includes $20,000,000 for grants to assist States and tribal
governments in updating the National Instant Criminal
Background Check System with the criminal history and mental
health records of individuals who are precluded from purchasing
or possessing guns. This amount is an increase of $10,000,000
above the fiscal year 2009 level and the request.
Criminal history record upgrades.--In addition to the funds
provided for NICS grants, the Committee includes $10,000,000
for grants to ensure that accurate criminal history records are
available for use in law enforcement. This program helps States
build their infrastructure to connect to national record check
systems, both to supply information and to conduct the
requisite checks. This amount is equal to the fiscal year 2009
level and the request.
National Motor Vehicle Title Information System.--The
Committee is aware that planned enhancements to the National
Motor Vehicle Title Information System will require additional
funding sources beyond the current fee structure. OJP is
encouraged to work with the American Association of Motor
Vehicle Administrators, which operates the system, on options
for funding those enhancements.
Salaries and expenses.--As in fiscal year 2009, the
Committee provides management and administration funding for
OJP and other grant offices through a salaries and expenses
appropriation under OJP. As a result, no administrative
overhead costs shall be deducted from the programs funded from
this account.

COPS Hiring Program.--The Committee recommends $298,000,000
for the COPS universal hiring program. These grants are
available to State, local, and tribal governments for the
hiring and rehiring of additional career law enforcement
officers for deployment in community-oriented policing across
the nation. An additional $1,000,000,000 was provided for this
program as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009, P.L. 111-5.
Law enforcement technologies and interoperable
communications.--The Committee includes $123,000,000 for grants
to State, local, and tribal law enforcement to develop and
acquire effective technologies and interoperable communications
that assist in the prevention and response to crime. COPS is
directed to ensure that all equipment funded under this program
meets the requirements of the National Institute of Standards
and Technology Office of Law Enforcement Standards. The
accompanying table details funding for congressionally-
designated activities, which are incorporated by reference in
the bill:
Methamphetamine enforcement and clean-up.--The production,
trafficking, and abuse of methamphetamine--an extremely
destructive and addictive drug--continues to be a serious
national problem. The Committee recommends $32,000,000 for
activities to address public safety and methamphetamine
manufacturing, sale, and use in ``hot spots.'' Within the funds
provided, the Committee includes $10,000,000 for transfer to
the Drug Enforcement Administration to assist State, local and
tribal law enforcement agencies with the proper removal and
disposal of hazardous materials at clandestine methamphetamine
labs, including funds for training, technical assistance, a
container program, and purchase of equipment.
Also within the total, the Committee provides $5,000,000
for tribal methamphetamine enforcement activities. COPS is
directed to consult with tribal governments on the distribution
of these funds to ensure that they are targeted to areas with
the greatest need.
The accompanying table details funding for congressionally-
designated activities related to methamphetamine enforcement,
which are incorporated by reference in the bill:
DNA analysis grants.--The Committee recommends $151,000,000
for grants to strengthen State and local government DNA
collection and analysis systems, which can be vital to
successfully prosecuting the guilty and protecting the innocent
from wrongful conviction. This funding level is equal to the
request and $5,000,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level. Within the funds provided, $146,000,000 is for Debbie
Smith DNA backlog reduction grants, and $5,000,000 is for post-
conviction DNA testing grants.
Second Chance Act programs.--The Committee strongly
supports efforts to improve and strengthen programs that
facilitate the successful reentry of prisoners into communities
following incarceration. The Commerce, Justice, Science and
Related Agencies Subcommittee conducted a series of hearings on
effective prisoner reentry programs and the state of research
on ``what works'' for prisoner reentry. The lessons learned
from those hearings are that investments in prisoner reentry
program demonstrations and research are critical to making
prisoner reentry more successful and reducing the rate of
recidivism, and that successful prisoner reentry can
significantly reduce the personal, social and economic costs
associated with crime and incarceration. The hearings also made
clear that, in order to have a significant impact on reducing
recidivism, prisoner reentry efforts must be coordinated at the
State level, based on comprehensive plans developed through
input from a broad array of stakeholders.
The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for activities
authorized under the Second Chance Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-199)
to reduce criminal recidivism, which is $75,000,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the request. The
Committee strongly urges the Attorney General to establish the
Interagency Task Force on Federal Programs and Activities
Relating to the Reentry of Offenders into the Community, as
envisioned by the Second Chance Act. The Committee includes
bill language authorizing the Attorney General to waive the
matching requirements for Adult and Juvenile Reentry
Demonstration Projects grants awarded in fiscal year 2010.
Tribal law enforcement.--The Committee provides $40,000,000
for the hiring, equipping, and training of tribal law
enforcement officers, $20,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009
level and the request. The Committee provides additional
funding for Tribes through the State and Local Law Enforcement
Assistance appropriation under the Office of Justice Programs
(OJP).
Child sexual predator elimination/sex offender
management.--The Committee provides $28,000,000 for assistance
to State, tribal, and local law enforcement to locate, arrest,
and prosecute child sexual predators and exploiters, and to
enforce sex offender registration laws. Of the total,
$1,000,000 is for the National Sex Offender Public Registry and
$15,000,000 is for sex offender management assistance (SOMA).
The increase of $10,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level for SOMA activities is intended for assistance to tribal
and other law enforcement entities with the greatest need for
such assistance.
Secure Our Schools Act.--The recommendation includes
$16,000,000 for grants to schools for equipment such as metal
detectors, locks, lighting and other deterrent measures;
security assessments; security training of personnel and
students; and coordination with local law enforcement agencies.
This amount is equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the
request.
Community Policing Development.--The Committee
recommendation includes $14,000,000 for community policing
development activities, including training and technical
assistance and the Police Integrity Initiative, which is an
increase of $10,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level and $2,000,000 below the request.
Salaries and Expenses.--As in fiscal year 2009, the
Committee provides management and administration funding for
the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services through a
salaries and expenses appropriation under OJP. As a result, no
administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the
programs funded from this account.
Reprogramming of prior year funds.--Funds appropriated in
Public Law 111-8, Division B--Commerce, Justice, Science, and
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2009, under the heading
Department of Justice, Community Oriented Policing Services,
Methamphetamine Enforcement and Clean-up, to the Blount,
Dekalb, Etowah, Marshall, Marion, Morgan, Pickens, Walker
Counties, Alabama Drug Task Forces for the Anti-Methamphetamine
Project are reprogrammed to the Etowah County Drug Enforcement
Unit for the Dekalb, Etowah, Marshall, Marion, Morgan, Pickens,
Walker Counties, Alabama Drug Task Forces and the Blount County
Sheriff's Department.
Funds appropriated in Public Law 111-8, Division B--
Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, 2009, under the heading Department of Justice, Community
Oriented Policing Services, Law enforcement technologies and
interoperable communications, for technology upgrades for
Southside Virginia law enforcement are reprogrammed to the
Sheriffs' Offices of Pittsylvania, Cumberland, Bedford, Henry,
Brunswick, Campbell, and Greene Counties in Virginia and the
Sheriff's Office of the City of Martinsville, Virginia for law
enforcement technology.

TITLE III--SCIENCE
This title includes funding for the Office of Science and
Technology Policy (OSTP), the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), and the National Science Foundation
(NSF), though science funding in this Bill extends beyond this
title. Two major research agencies within the Department of
Commerce--the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA)--are funded in title I of this bill. Science and
engineering also are of increasing importance in law
enforcement and commercial activity. In total, the bill
provides $30,571,851,000 in science and technology investments,
an increase of $1,049,255,000 over the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level.
In the late 1990s, Congress and the Administration
cooperated to double annual federal spending for the National
Institutes of Health. Following recommendations in the Rising
Above the Gathering Storm report of the National Academy of
Sciences, the Congress passed the America Competes Act
recognizing the need to double the budgets for NSF, NIST, and
the Department of Energy Office of Science. This year in
testimony before this Committee, leaders from the science and
engineering communities made clear that NASA science and NOAA
research merit similar increases. Accordingly, increases are
recommended over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level for
research at NSF, NIST, NASA, and NOAA--with increases above the
requests for NOAA research and select areas of NASA.
The challenge of anthropogenic climate change confronts the
Nation today. Increased research through the programs of NOAA
is needed to strengthen the foundation for NOAA's leadership
role in climate, and the Earth Science program within NASA
plays a critical role in support of NOAA in developing and
demonstrating new modeling, analysis and measurement techniques
while contributing to the overall climate change science
program.
In testimony before this Committee, Dr. Lennard Fisk,
former NASA Associate Administrator for Space Science and
Applications, stated that the termination of NASA funding for
microgravity research--research that can only be done in
orbit--has devastated this area of research in the United
States. Given the substantial investment in the International
Space Station where much of this research would take place,
funding is recommended to resurrect this research program
within funds to be appropriated to NASA.
In testimony before the Committee on science education, it
was stated that most children decide to be interested in
pursuing science, engineering or math by age 10 or so.
Inspiring interest in young minds requires them to have
opportunities to come in contact with research and engineering,
to take measurements and think creatively and analytically in a
scientific fashion and to gain a sense of wonder at the
physical and intellectual adventure involved and the
contributions science and engineering make in today's world.
Accordingly, increases above the budget request are included to
strengthen NSF, NOAA and NASA education programs.

The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is
essential to the restoration of science to its proper place in
the formulation of policy and the operations of the federal
government. The Committee recommendation is $1,851,000 above
the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2009 and $1,000,000
above the budget request. This increase is provided to ensure
that OSTP has adequate staff to fulfill key requirements in the
coming year.
OSTP is directed to develop a plan for achieving and
sustaining global Earth observations in collaboration with
NOAA, NSF, NASA, USGS, the Department of Energy and other
appropriate agencies and in consultation with the Earth science
community, and to direct implementation of this Earth
observations plan as called for in the National Academy of
Sciences report Earth Science and Applications from Space:
National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond. This plan
should include satellite, suborbital, ground- and ocean-based
observations and be delivered to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House and Senate no later than April 1,
2010.
The Committee anticipates that OSTP will need to provide
leadership and active coordination on hydrology research and
water resources, understanding terrestrial managed and
unmanaged ecosystems and their role in climate change,
nanotechnology, including its societal dimensions, and science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. Each
of these areas involves significant activities of multiple
departments and agencies.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of
1958, as amended, to:
(1) plan, direct and conduct aeronautical and space
activities;
(2) arrange for participation by the scientific
community in planning scientific measurements and
observations to be made through use of aeronautical and
space vehicles, and conduct or arrange for the conduct
of such measurements and observations;
(3) provide for the widest practicable and
appropriate dissemination of information concerning its
activities and the results thereof;
(4) seek and encourage, to the maximum extent
possible, the fullest commercial use of space;
(5) encourage and provide the Federal government use
of commercially provided space services and hardware,
consistent with the requirements of the Federal
government; and
(6) carry out a comprehensive program of research,
technology, and monitoring of the phenomena of upper
atmosphere as to provide for an understanding of and to
maintain the chemical and physical integrity of the
Earth's atmosphere.
The Act calls on NASA to expand human knowledge; develop and
operate advanced aeronautical and space-faring vehicles;
encourage commercial use of space; exchange with other U.S.
agencies findings useful to each other to maximize research
results; cooperate with other nations in research and
applications; and preserve U.S. preeminence in aeronautics and
space. NASA's unique mission is to pioneer the future in space
exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.
Programs and activities undertaken by NASA were last
authorized in fiscal year 2009. An authorization for fiscal
year 2010 is not yet enacted.
Investments in NASA.--Properly structured, NASA's programs
can contribute to an improved quality of life, economic
vitality, U.S. leadership in peaceful cooperation with other
nations on challenging undertakings in science and technology,
national security and the advancement of knowledge. Investments
in NASA's programs promote research and development and support
the competitiveness of the United States. For 50 years, the
investments in NASA have facilitated the transfer of NASA
technology to the private sector, benefiting global competition
and the economy. The resulting commercialization has
contributed to the development of commercial products and
services in the fields of health and medicine, industry,
consumer goods, transportation, public safety, computer
technology, and environmental resources. In addition, NASA's
view from space brings science to bear on national priorities
like improved predictions of climate, weather and natural
hazards, which have corresponding implications for commerce and
the human condition.
Moreover, as noted previously in this report, Dr. Ralph
Cicerone and Dr. Lennard Fisk both stated in testimony before
the Subcommittee that NASA's science activities are not
markedly different or less important than other science
disciplines funded by the NSF and NIST, and that there was
little reason for their exclusion from the doubling path
envisioned for those agencies in the America Competes Act. The
Committee's recommendation reflects this sentiment and
continues to invest in NASA's science activities.
AGENCY SUMMARY
The Committee recommendation includes $18,203,300 for NASA,
$482,700,000 below the request and $420,915,000 above the
comparable fiscal year 2009 enacted level. Funding included in
this Act provides for continued efforts to fly the Shuttle as
safely as possible until its retirement in 2010; to complete
the international space station; continue to advance human
space flight activities; to advance knowledge in the
fundamental disciplines of aeronautics and develop technologies
for safer aircraft and higher capacity traffic air systems; to
further understanding of Earth, its climate and global
environment, the connections among the other planets and the
Sun, and the origin and evolution of planetary systems and the
origin and distribution of life in the universe; and to inspire
and educate students at all levels to pursue careers in the
fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
NASA's appropriations are now arrayed in multiple
appropriations accounts rather than in three accounts as in
previous years. Beginning in fiscal year 2009, budgets for
NASA's programs and projects are requested and appropriated
only in terms of direct cost, and not the additional indirect
costs associated with operating NASA's centers, safety and
mission success, and Agency management and operations. The
direct budgets continue to reflect labor and travel costs
associated with each program and project. The indirect costs
are now budgeted solely within the Cross Agency Support
account, and not in NASA's programs and projects. This change
was the result of the Committee's continuing endeavors to
provide greater transparency to NASA's stakeholders and improve
program estimates, costs, review and oversight. The Committee
continues these efforts as is evidenced in the recommendations
herein.
Financial management.--The Committee remains concerned
about NASA's management of its budget, as well as its financial
recordkeeping and reporting. Fiscal year 2002 was the last year
NASA was able to produce an annual financial statement that
could be audited by its independent accountants. For fiscal
years 2003 through 2008, the accountants were unable to find
sufficient evidentiary support for amounts presented in NASA's
financial statements, including the combined statements of
budgetary resources--which are supposed to present accurate
budget execution data. Recent reports by Committee staff have
found additional disquieting evidence concerning NASA's
financial management. As discussed in the explanatory statement
accompanying the 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act, a review of
NASA's leasing and collections authority found that NASA's
implementation of the authority lacked transparency and that
NASA was not effectively managing and accounting for leasing
receipts. An April 2009 report by the staff found that NASA was
improperly administering its authority to convert funds for
construction projects to no-year availability by apportioning
these funds as no-year dollars before initial obligations on
construction projects, ignoring provisions in law that the
conversion be preceded by an initial obligation. The report
also found that the amount allocated to construction in NASA's
annual operating plans often substantially exceeds the amount
justified in NASA's budget estimates. Many of the construction
projects included in the operating plans, but not the budget
estimates, are of such scale that NASA clearly must have been
aware of the projects at the time it formulated its estimates.
A second April 2009 report found that, although NASA has
improved its obligation rate in response to the Committee's
concerns, many NASA programs did not match this obligation rate
with a commensurate improvement in accrual of costs and
outlays. The report also found that NASA's obligation rate may
be overstated because of non-transparent reserve practices and
because it deobligates and recovers significant amounts of
prior year obligated balances.
To address these issues, the Committee recommends several
changes to NASA's appropriation. The Committee recommendation:
consolidates all programmatic and
institutional construction and environmental compliance
and remediation activities into a new account, for
which the period of availability would extend for five
years;
subjects expenditures planned from the
collection of enhanced use lease receipts to an annual
appropriations limitation first enacted in fiscal year
2009;
limits funding for the Cross Agency Support
and Inspector General accounts to be available for one
year, reflecting the administrative nature of these
accounts;
limits most funding in NASA's operating
accounts (Aeronautics Exploration, Science, and Space
Operations) to one-year, while providing an allowance
of ten percent in each account as two-year funding,
recognizing historical obligation data and that cutting
edge aeronautics and space research and development
involves an element of uncertainty; and
fully funds Center administrative activities
in the consolidated Cross Agency Support account,
realigning the remaining FTE currently being charged to
programmatic accounts.
Construction.--The Committee proposes establishment of a
new construction account to fund all institutional and
programmatic construction. As shown in the Committee's review,
the longstanding arrangement of funding construction within
other accounts without specifying an amount for construction
has resulted in a lack of discipline in NASA's planning for
programmatic construction and a lack of transparency in
presenting and justifying construction projects. The new
account will fund discrete construction projects, minor
revitalization and construction projects, facility planning and
design, demolition, and environmental compliance and
restoration. Appropriated funds shall be available for five
years, as requested.
Limitation on expenses associated with enhanced use lease
receipts.--The Committee has continued a provision capping the
expenditure of enhanced use lease (EUL) gross receipts and
collections in fiscal year 2010 at $0 and requiring NASA to
include a separate accounting for and justification of its EUL
collections and proposed expenditures in its annual budget
justification. The justification shall include a separate
accounting by Center of gross receipts and collections and
shall include a detailed presentation of all proposed
expenditures by Center, to include but not limited to full-time
equivalent (FTE) staff years and object class data, and
justification for such proposed expenditures by project or
activity.
One-year availability for Cross Agency Support and
Inspector General accounts.--The Committee proposes that
funding for the cross agency support (CAS) and Office of
Inspector General accounts be available for one-year, as
opposed to two years provided in the 2009 Omnibus
Appropriations Act. In the realigned NASA budget structure that
was adopted in fiscal year 2009, these appropriations are
primarily for administrative salaries and expenses activities.
According to the object class table presented in the Appendix
to the 2010 budget, fully one-third of the CAS account is for
pay and benefits for Federal employees. Much of the balance of
the account is for administrative functions, such as operation
and maintenance of equipment and facilities. In fiscal year
2008, center management and operations and corporate general &
administrative costs (then funded as overhead, but now in CAS)
obligated all but $33,400,000 of $2,600,000,000 in new budget
authority, an obligation rate of 99 percent.
Limited two-year availability for NASA's operating
accounts.--The Committee proposes that most funding in NASA's
operating accounts (Aeronautics, Exploration, Science and Space
Operations) be available for one year, with an allowance of 10
percent in each account as two-year funding. The Committee
recognizes that cutting edge aeronautics and space research and
development involves an element of uncertainty. Even with the
best planning and management, unexpected technical and
operational setbacks may force obligation delays. However, in
2008 NASA demonstrated an ability to obligate 95 percent or
more of the new budget authority in the missions that are now
included in the four operating accounts. Similarly, for the
period 1998 through 2002, NASA's carryover was consistently
below six percent. From 2003 through 2007 NASA appears to have
lost focus on financial management. In fiscal year 2007, the
obligation rate for some missions was as low as 81 to 82
percent. Funding the operating accounts with primarily one-year
funding will encourage NASA to maintain financial discipline.
It will also encourage NASA to carefully examine its reserve
and recovery practices, to ensure that obligated funds are in
fact applied to accomplish the work for which they were
appropriated. At the same time, the allowance of a reasonable
amount for two-year funding, together with the continued
availability of transfer and reprogramming authority, will
allow NASA to address unexpected developments.
Administrative activities.--The realignment of NASA's
budget structure required by the fiscal year 2008 Omnibus
Appropriations Act was intended to improve the transparency of
NASA's budget by separately funding programmatic and
administrative activities. It was the Committee's intent that
the Cross Agency Support account fully fund Center
administrative activities, including human resources, financial
management, procurement, facilities operations, information
technology services, and public affairs. As the 2009 budget is
being executed by NASA, it appears that significant numbers of
Center FTE in these administrative areas are being charged to
programmatic accounts.
NASA's Office of Program and Institutional Integration
(OPPI) has developed Center Management and Operations ``Content
Definitions.'' These definitions specify the core functions
that all of NASA's nine field Centers should provide to
programs. The Committee directs that, for fiscal 2011, NASA
realign the CAS budget to fully fund the Center administrative
functions specified in OPPI's content definitions, including
all human resources, financial management, procurement,
facilities operations, information technology services, and
public affairs personnel. To the extent that NASA believes that
this realignment requires transfer of funding from programmatic
accounts, NASA's budget estimate shall specify by mission,
theme and program the amounts proposed to be transferred and
the number and job series of FTE associated with these amounts.
For fiscal year 2010, the Committee proposes to transfer these
administrative FTE from the program accounts to Center
management and operations within the CAS account, as follows:
Realign SMD administrative activities to CAS.......... -$24,266,000
Realign ARMD administrative activities to CAS......... -5,982,000
Realign ESMD administrative activities to CAS......... -33,457,000
Realign SOMD administrative activities to CAS......... -33,771,000
Realign EMD administrative activities to CAS.......... -1,254,000
Net adjustment to CAS............................. +98,730,000
Reporting of cost, schedule and content for NASA research
and development projects.--To better understand the underlying
issues common to NASA's performance on major projects and to
develop a process for identifying corrective action, the Fiscal
Year 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act mandated the
Government Accountability Office to report on the status of
large-scale NASA programs, projects and activities. The
Committee expects this report to be delivered to the Congress
semiannually, the first of which was delivered in March 2009.
The Committee anticipates this annual report in advance of the
annual budget submission of the President. To that end, the
Committee directs NASA to cooperate fully and to provide timely
program analysis, evaluation data and relevant information to
the GAO so that it can conduct this review and meet the annual
Congressional mandate. Such information includes, but is not
limited to, copies of preliminary cost estimates, access to
relevant online agency applications, databases, and web
portals, and access to information from contractor and agency
personnel.
Breach reporting.--Pursuant to section 108 of Public Law
109-155, the NASA Authorization Act of 2005, NASA is required
to deliver several reports to the appropriate authorizing
committees when project costs grow in excess of certain
thresholds. The Committee expects that NASA submit concurrently
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations the
reports required by section 108 of Public Law 109-155.
Monthly reports.--To improve the usefulness of monthly
reports on obligations and disbursements required by section
525(b) of the fiscal year 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Act, NASA
is directed to include in the funding that it reports as
available not only new budget authority, but also carryover and
recoveries. Specifically, on November 20, 2009, and on the 15th
business day of each month thereafter, the Administrator of
NASA shall report in writing to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House and Senate detailed financial
information on the execution of the Administration's budget for
the preceding month and for the fiscal year to date. Each
report shall provide information on the appropriation for the
fiscal year, available carryover of prior year appropriations
and recoveries of prior year obligated balances, obligations
and cost incurred against, and outlays made from, the
appropriation for the year and carryover and recoveries,
presented by (1) appropriation account, (2) theme, (3) program
or project, (4) Center, and (5) object class, as well as any
other financial information requested by the Committees on
Appropriations of the House and Senate.
Reserves reporting.--NASA is directed to include in its
budget justification the reserve assumed by NASA to be
necessary within the amount proposed for each directorate,
theme, program, project and activity, or, if the proposed
funding level for a directorate, theme, program, project or
activity is based on confidence level budgeting, the confidence
level assumed in the proposed funding level. Maintaining a
reserve during the course of a fiscal year may be prudent
management. However, the recent staff report found that some
programs maintain large reserves and that there is limited
central oversight of program-level reserves. This directive
seeks to encourage more consistency in reserve practices and
provide for the oversight of the reasonableness of reserve
assumptions during consideration of NASA's budget.
Reprogramming procedures.--As noted earlier in this report,
the Committee continues to have a particular interest in being
fully informed of reprogrammings which, although they may not
change either the total amount available in an account or the
general purposes for which the funds are available, represent a
departure from the explicit budget plans presented within the
annual congressional justifications and approved or modified by
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations through the
annual appropriations process. The Committee is concerned that
movements of funds above the de minimis levels specified in
section 505 of this Act may be occurring without Congressional
notification. That section requires notification to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations of deviations from the
budgeted and appropriated levels specified for all programs,
projects and activities. To clarify the level at which
reprogramming actions are to be measured, the Committee has
chosen to include by mission directorate a summary table
delineating each program, project and activity against which
the reprogramming thresholds are to be measured. This display
in no way curtails NASA's current flexibility in managing its
diverse portfolio of research and development and operational
programs. Rather, it will require NASA to inform the Committee
on any deviations, subject to the thresholds specified in
section 505 of this Act, from the levels explicit in the
agency's budget justification, as adjusted for congressional
action, as shown in the accompanying summary table. The
Committee's recommendation for NASA is delineated more fully in
the table below and in the following account summaries.

SCIENCE
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $4,503,019,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 4,477,200,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 4,496,100,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... -6,919,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +18,900,000
This appropriation provides for the full costs associated
with the science activities of the agency, which consist of the
programs, or themes, within the Science Mission Directorate.
The full costs include all labor, travel, procurement, test and
fabrication costs to execute these programs, which provide for
all of the research; development; operations; salaries and
related expenses; and other general and administrative
activities supporting the themes within this account. NASA's
Science Mission Directorate encompasses four themes: Earth
Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and Astrophysics. The
Directorate seeks to answer fundamental questions concerning
the ways in which Earth's climate is changing; the comparison
of Earth with other planets in the solar system and around
other stars; the connections among the Sun, Earth, and
heliosphere; and the origin and evolution of planetary systems,
the galaxy, and the universe, including the origin and
distribution of life in the universe. The Directorate achieves
its objectives through robotic flight missions, ground-based
scientific research and data analysis, and the development of
new technologies for future missions.
For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$4,496,100,000, an increase of $18,900,000 above the budget
request, and $6,919,000 below the fiscal year 2009 comparable
levels. The appropriation shall be available for one fiscal
year, except that $450,000,000 shall be available for two
fiscal years. The recommendation makes the following
adjustments to the budget request:
Earth science research and analysis................... +$32,000,000
Earth science, other missions and data analysis....... +15,000,000
Orbiting carbon observatory (incl. FY 2009 balances).. -32,200,000

Realign the costs of administrative activities to CAS. -24,300,000
Consolidate all agency construction in new account.... -12,600,000
Affordability adjustment.............................. -11,000,000
Earth science.--The Committee supports the development of
Tier I missions in support of NASA's Earth science program.
These missions, in coordination with small and medium class
missions being developed by the agency, are critical to address
global challenges in climate change and other areas.
Earth science, other missions and data analysis.--The
recommendation includes $201,300,000 for Earth science, other
missions and data analysis. An increase of $15,000,000 is
provided above the request to advance further the studies of
the next two decadal survey missions, the Climate Absolute
Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) and the
Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of the Ice
(DESDnyl).
Scatterometer.-- The Committee directs NOAA and NASA to
continue joint studies leading to a NOAA request in the fiscal
year 2011 budget to build and fly an operational scatterometer
to provide sea surface vector wind measurements. NASA should
continue to co-fund this study in fiscal year 2010 and then
supply its customary implementation support to NOAA satellite
activities on a reimbursable basis beginning in fiscal year
2011. The Committee acknowledges that a radar scatterometer
could have been adopted as an operational NOAA instrument many
years ago and appreciates the support NASA has provided to the
operational data users by flying scatterometers as part of its
Earth science research mission.
Orbiting carbon observatory (OCO).--In February, a rocket
failure sent OCO into the ocean off the coast of Antarctica,
depriving climate scientists of measurements meant to bridge
data collected by a seven-year-old satellite and a more
advanced spacecraft is not expected to launch for at least
several years. This satellite was to map Earth's carbon dioxide
concentrations in unprecedented detail. Several options have
been suggested following the loss of the OCO: extend the
operations of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)
instrument aboard the Aqua spacecraft, launched in 2002;
accelerate the development of the follow-on spacecraft,
ASCENDS, which is currently not slated until after 2013; and
building and flying another OCO. The Committee awaits NASA's
informed judgment on how best to proceed, including schedule
and cost estimates for its recommendation, but expects such
determination by September 1, 2009.
Near Earth object observations.--The recommendation
includes $5,800,000 for near Earth object observations, an
increase of $2,000,000 to support ongoing scientific research
at the Arecibo Observatory in the fields of climate change and
space weather.
GLOBE.--Within the amounts provided for Earth science,
$3,000,000 is provided for the GLOBE program. NASA is directed
to work cooperatively with NOAA during fiscal year 2010 to
transition program responsibility for GLOBE from NASA to NOAA.
Mars program.--Exploring Mars remains one of NASA's most
challenging and exciting endeavors. The Committee continues to
support a robust Mars exploration program and recommends funds
for the completion of the Mars Science Laboratory for launch in
2011.
Astrophysics other missions and data analysis.--Within the
amounts provided, not less than $50,000,000 is available to
continue efforts in the use of the next generation of human
space flight architecture to service existing and future
observatory-class scientific spacecraft as identified in the
conference report accompanying division B of Public Law 111-8.
Astrophysics exoplanet exploration, other missions and data
analysis.--Building on NASA's decades of investment in
interferometric capabilities and technologies, the Committee
recommendation includes funds requested to enable SIM-Lite to
continue mission concept, technology and risk reduction efforts
in fiscal year 2010.
Jupiter system mission.--In February 2009, after a
competitive review by the world's leading planetary scientists
and senior NASA leadership, NASA formally decided that the top
priority Outer Planet flagship mission was the Jupiter Europa
orbiter/lander, which would launch in 2020. This review also
concluded that a mission to Saturn's moon, Titan, would follow
later in the decade. The Committee continues to support the
Jupiter Europa orbiter/lander and NASA's decision.
The Jupiter system mission consists of two spacecraft to
explore the Jupiter system and investigate the emergence of
potentially habitable worlds around giant planets. The mission
places a special emphasis on two of Jupiter's giant moons,
Europa and Ganymede, and would be conducted in concert with the
European Space Agency. The Committee recommendation includes
$18,000,000 to further study the Europa Jupiter system mission
and to address the primary risk to the mission, the energy
particle radiation environment of Jupiter. Included in these
funds shall be efforts to assist the science community in
preparing to respond to the announcement of opportunity for the
instruments.
The Committee is concerned that the budget profile for the
Outer Planets flagship mission to Europa appears inconsistent
with a 2020 launch. Therefore, NASA is directed within 60 days
of enactment of this Act to provide a projected full lifetime
budget outline for the Europa mission, to include anticipated
contributions from foreign partners, and an alternative budget
profile that would accelerate the launch to 2018.
Planetary science, technology.--Within the funds provided
for planetary science, resources are provided for test and
development of thermal protection systems (TPS), such as coal-
based carbon foam ablative devices, in future missions to and
from Mars and Moon.
AERONAUTICS
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $500,000,000
Fiscal Year 2009 request.............................. 507,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 501,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +1,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -6,000,000
This appropriation provides for the full costs associated
with the aeronautics activities of the agency, which consist of
the programs, or themes, within the Aeronautics Mission
Directorate. The full costs include all labor, travel,
procurement, test and fabrication costs to execute these
programs, which provide for all of the research; development;
operations; salaries and related expenses; and other general
and administrative activities supporting the themes within this
account. NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate is
committed to expanding the boundaries of aeronautical knowledge
for the benefit of the Nation and the broad aeronautics
community. NASA conducts cutting-edge research that includes
foundational research across a number of core competencies that
support aeronautics and space exploration activities; research
in key areas related to the development of advanced aircraft
technologies and systems, including those related to aircraft
safety, environmental compatibility, and fuel efficiency; and
research that supports the Next Generation Air Transportation
System in partnership with the Joint Planning and Development
Office.
For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommendation includes
$501,000,000, a decrease of $6,000,000 from the budget request,
and $1,000,000 over comparable fiscal year 2009 enacted levels.
The appropriation shall be available for one fiscal year,
except that $50,000,000 shall be available for two fiscal
years. The recommended adjustment to the budget estimate
realigns costs of administrative activities to CAS for an
adjustment of -$6,000,000.
EXPLORATION
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $3,505,469,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request\1\........................... 3,963,100,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 3,293,200,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... -212,269,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -669,900,000
\1\Following the human space flight review, the Administration will
provide an updated request for Exploration activities reflecting the
review's results.
This appropriation provides for the full costs associated
with the exploration activities of the agency, which consist of
the programs, or themes, within the Exploration Mission
Directorate. The full costs include all labor, travel,
procurement, test and fabrication costs to execute these
programs, which provide for all of the research; development;
operations; salaries and related expenses; and other general
and administrative activities supporting the themes within this
account. The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate was
established to realize the Vision for Space Exploration.
Exploration Systems includes two themes that work together to
enable sustainable exploration and scientific discovery in the
solar system: Constellation Systems and Advanced Capabilities.
Through Constellation Systems, NASA will develop,
demonstrate, and deploy the transportation, life support, and
surface systems that will enable sustained human and robotic
exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Human exploration
will enable scientific activities and discoveries not
obtainable with robotic explorers. Initial capabilities include
the Orion crew exploration vehicle that will transport and
support crews traveling beyond low Earth orbit, and the Ares I
launch vehicle for transporting Orion into space. Following the
development of these initial capabilities, Constellation
Systems will develop capabilities to support a human mission to
the lunar surface by 2020 though this timeline may change.
These capabilities include the Ares V heavylift launch vehicle,
leveraging engineering design and capabilities from the Shuttle
program; an Earth departure stage to propel Orion from low
Earth to lunar orbit; a lunar surface access module to safely
transport astronauts to and from the lunar surface; and
systems, capabilities, and support for extended human stays on
the lunar surface. Future development will provide crew, cargo
transportation, and destination support capabilities required
for human exploration of Mars and beyond.
The Advanced Capabilities theme consists of three programs:
the lunar precursor robotic program, the exploration technology
development program, and the human research program. Activities
within these programs help prepare for human lunar exploration,
test new technologies that enable exploration, and further
understanding of the effects of space on human performance. The
lunar precursor robotic program is developing a precursor
mission to characterize the lunar environment. The lunar
reconnaissance orbiter and lunar crater observing and sensing
satellite, scheduled to launch in June 2009, will seek to find
safe landing sites, locate potential resources, characterize
the radiation environment, and demonstrate new technology. The
lunar precursor robotic program will work with the Science
Mission Directorate and international partners on future
missions to ensure that NASA gains the data it needs for safe
and cost-effective future exploration.
For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommendation includes
$3,293,200,000, a decrease of $212,269,000 over the comparable
enacted level and $669,900,000 below the budget request. The
appropriation is available for one fiscal year, except that
$330,000,000 shall be available for two fiscal years.
Recommended adjustments to the budget estimate are as follows:
Adjustment pending blue ribbon panel review:
Constellation systems............................. -$586,300,000
Advanced capabilities............................. +19,800,000
Realign the costs of administrative activities to CAS. -33,500,000
Consolidate all agency construction in new account.... -69,900,000
Adjustment pending Blue Ribbon Panel review.--In early May,
the Administration announced that NASA initiated an independent
review of planned U.S. human space flight activities and
alternatives to ensure that the Nation is undertaking efforts
that are safe, innovative, affordable and sustainable in the
years following completion of the Space Shuttle manifest and
retirement. The review panel is to consider:
expediting a new U.S. capability to support
use of the International Space Station;
supporting missions to the Moon and other
destinations beyond low Earth orbit;
stimulating commercial space flight
capabilities; and,
fitting within the current budget profile
for NASA exploration activities.
The panel will present its results in time to support an
Administration decision on the way forward by August 2009,
during which time NASA will continue its current exploration
projects, including Ares I, Orion, commercial crew and cargo
efforts and lunar systems.
In light of this ongoing review, and pending the
recommendations of the panel and a determination by the
Administration on the way forward, the Committee recommends
deferring an increase from the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
This deferral is taken without prejudice to the existing
architecture. The funding of $3,293,200,000 provided in this
bill, together with $250,000,000 in funds provided for
Exploration activities in the American Recovery and Reinvention
Act of 2009, will provide resources for NASA to continue its
efforts in human space flight in fiscal year 2010.
The Committee reaffirms its commitment to preserve the
United States' world leadership in space exploration. This
Committee has long supported the Nation's space program; that
support of NASA and its manned space program continues today.
The Committee acknowledges the unsustainable circumstances the
Nation finds itself today with the lag between the retirement
of the Shuttle and the launch of the next generation manned
spacecraft and encourages the Administration and NASA to
mitigate that hiatus to the extent practicable. The Committee
recognizes that the United States cannot maintain its world
leadership in space exploration without a robust manned space
program capable of carrying crews beyond low Earth orbit.
The Committee looks forward to receiving the findings and
recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Panel. To that end, however,
the Committee asserts that its recommendations herein should
not be viewed by the Blue Ribbon Panel as a diminution of the
Committee's support for NASA's human space flight program.
Previous budget requests have failed to fund fully the Nation's
identified human space flight program, which over the years and
in turn, have eroded in part NASA's ability to bring
Constellation's initial operating capability within earlier
established timelines. These budget shortfalls further
exacerbate total program costs. Accordingly, after the work of
the panel is complete, the Committee expects the Administration
will amend its fiscal year 2010 budget request to fund fully
the plan advocated by the panel and that the Administration's
subsequent budget requests shall similarly include resources to
fund fully the Nation's human space flight program. Lastly, the
Committee looks forward to the appropriate authorizing
committees' review and subsequent authorization of NASA's
exploration programs and activities.
International Space Station (ISS) research.--These funds
support the study of life and physical sciences phenomenon in
microgravity, as well as in the partial gravity environments of
the Moon and Mars. In testimony before the Committee, Dr.
Lennard Fisk noted that investments in life science and
microgravity have suffered ``far more egregious'' and
disproportionate reductions in investments than any other
science discipline at NASA. Accordingly, within funds provided
for exploration technology development, the Committee provides
$50,000,000 for ISS research in fiscal year 2010, an increase
of $28,200,000 above the request and $5,200,000 over fiscal
year 2009.
Technology infusion.--A total of $219,300,000 is provided
for technology infusion, the same level as provided in fiscal
year 2009. Within the funds provided, resources are available
for the development of new technologies, including filament
wound aluminum metal matrix composite technology for use in
cryogentic fuels systems for space vehicles, to include Ares
launch vehicles and the Altair lunar lander.
SPACE OPERATIONS
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $5,764,710,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 6,175,600,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 6,097,300,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +332,590,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -78,300,000
This appropriation provides for the full costs associated
with the space operations activities of the agency, which
consist of the programs, or themes, within the Space Operations
Mission Directorate. The full costs include all labor, travel,
procurement, test and fabrication costs to execute these
programs, which provide for all of the research; development;
operations; salaries and related expenses; and other general
and administrative activities supporting the themes within this
account. Funding in this account is provided for the
International Space Station and related activities, and the
Space Shuttle program. The Shuttle program will support the
Space Operations and Exploration Systems Mission Directorates
to leverage select Shuttle flight hardware and ground systems
to advance the development of the Orion crew exploration
vehicle, the Ares I crew launch vehicle, and the Ares V heavy
lift launch vehicle.
For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommendation includes
$6,097,300,000, a decrease of $78,300,000 below the request and
$332,590,000 over comparable fiscal year 2009 enacted levels.
The bill includes provisions providing specific amounts for
Space Shuttle, International Space Station and Space and Flight
support activities. The appropriation shall be available for
one fiscal year, except that $610,000,000 shall be available
for two fiscal years. Recommended adjustments to the budget
estimate are as follows:
Realign the costs of administrative activities to CAS. -$33,800,000
Consolidate all agency construction in new account.... -26,800,000

EDUCATION
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $169,200,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 126,100,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 175,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +5,800,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +48,900,000
This appropriation provides for the full costs associated
with the education activities of the agency, which consist of
the programs, or themes, within the Education Mission
Directorate. The full costs include all labor, travel, and
procurement costs to execute these programs, which provide for
all general and administrative activities supporting this
mission. NASA's Education program works to inspire and educate
students at all levels to pursue careers in the fields of
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, while also
engaging the education community to reach this goal. The
Education portfolio demonstrates a commitment to science,
technology, engineering and mathematics education to ensure
that the next generation of explorers and innovators is fully
prepared to join NASA's workforce while contributing to
national needs. NASA's objectives are to (1) provide elementary
and secondary students and teachers with NASA-related education
opportunities; (2) support higher education research capability
and opportunities that attract and prepare students and faculty
for NASA-related careers; (3) provide students, teachers,
faculty and researchers from underrepresented and underserved
communities with opportunities in NASA-related science and
technology fields; (4) and increase student, teacher and public
access to NASA education resources by developing and deploying
innovative technology applications platforms. NASA engages the
public in shaping and sharing the experience of exploration and
discovery by improving public understanding of science and
technology, including NASA aerospace technology, research and
exploration missions.
The Committee rejects the Administration's proposal to cut
NASA's education programs from comparable fiscal year 2009
enacted levels. The 2005 National Academies' report, Rising
Above the Gathering Storm, noted that the scientific and
technological building blocks of the United States' economic
leadership are eroding at a time when other nations are
gathering strength. The necessary key identified in the report
is to improve America's talent pool by vastly improving
Kindergarten through twelfth grade science and mathematics
education. In addition, a recent congressionally-mandated task
force found that by the end of this year, over one-quarter of
the U.S. aerospace workforce will be eligible to retire, with
too few engineers graduating from college to replace them. A
continuing dearth of students and graduates in math, science
and engineering cannot be sustained. Short-term cuts in
education programs have long-term effects. Accordingly, for
fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $175,000,000, an
increase of $48,900,000 over the budget request, and $5,800,000
over comparable fiscal year 2009 enacted levels. Funds provided
in this appropriation are to be allocated as follows:

jurisdictions at $700,000 each.
CROSS AGENCY SUPPORT
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $3,306,387,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 3,400,600,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 3,164,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... -142,387,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -236,600,000
This appropriation provides for the agency supporting
functions associated with the science, aeronautics, education,
space operations and exploration activities of the agency. This
account provides for the research; development; operations;
salaries and related expenses; and other general and
administrative activities supporting the themes within the five
other program accounts. Cross Agency Support provides a
strategic focus for managing agency mission support functions
and some of NASA's unique research facilities. This budget area
consists of three themes: center management and operations;
agency management and operations; and institutional
investments. The center management and operations theme
includes the basic costs to manage and operate each of the nine
NASA field centers and to maintain the technical capabilities
required to support the agency's mission. This budget theme is
not directly identified or aligned to a specific program or
project requirement, but is necessary for efficient and
effective administration and operation of the NASA centers. The
agency management and operations theme provides for the
management and oversight of agency missions, functions, and the
performance of some agency-wide activities and unique research
capabilities and facilities. Theme responsibilities include the
determination of programs and projects; establishment of
management policies, procedures, and performance criteria;
evaluation of progress; and the coordination and integration of
all phases of the agency's mission. The five major programs
included in this theme are agency management, safety and
mission success, agency IT services, innovative partnerships
program, and strategic capability asset program. The
institutional investments theme provides for design and
execution of non-programmatic discrete and minor revitalization
construction of facilities projects, facility demolition
projects, and environmental compliance and restoration
activities.
For fiscal year 2010, the bill provides $3,164,000,000,
$236,600,000 below the budget request. Appropriations are made
available for one fiscal year, reflecting the administrative
nature of the account. The Committee recommendation provides
for the following allocation of funds within cross-agency
support programs:
Realign the costs of administrative activities to CAS. +$98,900,000
Consolidate all agency construction in new account.... -355,400,000
Safety and mission success............................ +25,300,000
Innovative partnership programs....................... -21,100,000
Congressionally-designated items...................... +15,700,000
Center management and operations.--The realignment of
NASA's budget structure required by the fiscal year 2008
Omnibus Appropriations Act was intended to improve the
transparency of NASA's budget by separately funding
programmatic and administrative activities. It was the
Committee's intent that the Cross Agency Support account fully
fund Center administrative activities, including human
resources, financial management, procurement, facilities
operations, information technology services, and public
affairs. As the 2009 budget is being executed by NASA, it
appears that significant numbers of Center FTE in these
administrative areas are being charged to programmatic
accounts. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee proposes to
transfer these administrative FTE from the program accounts to
Center management and operations within the CAS account, as
follows, and provide a total of $2,182,900,000 for center
management and operations:
Realign SMD administrative activities to CAS.......... +$24,300,000
Realign ARMD administrative activities to CAS......... +6,000,000
Realign ESMD administrative activities to CAS......... +33,500,000
Realign SOMD administrative activities to CAS......... +33,800,000
Realign EMD administrative activities to CAS.......... +1,300,000
Net adjustment.................................... +98,900,000
Safety and mission success.--The Committee recommends a
total of $209,200,000, an increase of $25,300,000 over the
budget estimate, for safety and mission success. These funds
shall be available for NASA's overall software assurance and
risk management strategy to ensure the correctness and quality
of critical and complex software systems. Within the funds
provided for safety and mission success, $50,000,000 shall be
for independent verification and validation activities.
Innovative partnerships.--In total, the recommendation
includes $163,700,000 for innovative partnership programs. This
level represents an increase of $3,500,000 above the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level and $21,100,000 from the budget
estimate. The recommendation does not include funding requested
for several new activities that were not funded in fiscal year
2009, including innovation incubator, future centennial
challenges and innovative technology, due to affordability
considerations.
Congressionally-directed items.--Within the appropriation
for cross-agency support programs, the Committee recommendation
provides for the following Congressionally-directed activities:
CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND REMEDIATION
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. ................
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. (\1\)
Recommended in the bill............................... $441,700,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... (\1\)
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +441,700,000
\1\The budget requests funds for programmatic construction and
environmental compliance and remediation in the respective mission
directorates, and funds for institutional construction within the
cross agency support account.
The Committee recommendation includes a new appropriation
for the construction of facilities (CoF) and environmental
compliance and remediation. In total, the bill provides
$441,700,000: the same level as requested in the budget
estimate for programmatic construction in the Science and Space
Operations mission directorates; $66,900,000 for the
Exploration mission directorate, which is the same level as
provided in the fiscal year 2009, pending the conclusions of
the Blue Panel Review; and a reduction of $23,000,000 from the
amounts requested for institutional investments within Cross
Agency Support account. These funds, available for five years,
are allocated within the bill and are to be available as
follows:
Science................................................. $12,600,000
Exploration............................................. 69,900,000
Space operations........................................ 26,800,000
Cross agency support.................................... 332,400,000
Institutional investments........................... (261,200,000)
Environmental compliance and restoration............ (71,200,000)
Total, construction and environmental compliance
and remediation............................... 441,700,000
NASA makes numerous changes to its construction of
facilities program between the submission of the annual budget
and project initiation and completion. Funding for programmatic
(i.e., from within the mission directorates) CoF has increased
nearly 46 percent between the original fiscal year 2004 to
fiscal year 2008 budget requests and the fiscal year 2008
operating plan and funding for institutional (i.e., from within
cross agency support) CoF has increased 8 percent between the
original fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2008 budget requests
and the fiscal year 2008 operating plan. However, scant detail
and justification is provided in the operating plans for the
numerous changes to the CoF program, and operating plans do not
provide an effective mechanism to track the execution of CoF
funding or project progress over time. The Committee asserts
that changes to the way NASA's CoF funding is appropriated and
administered, and specific reporting requirements for the CoF
program, will provide more visibility into NASA's CoF program
execution. NASA is directed to provide NASA form 1509 for each
CoF project submitted in the annual budget request or an
initial operating plan and for each CoF project subject to a
reprogramming notification. The Committee's recommendation to
create a new account will not affect NASA's current flexibility
for managing its CoF program, but will ensure the detail and
transparency needed to assess the validity and scope of a
project and the appropriateness of its funding source. In
total, these changes will restore a more disciplined approach
to NASA's use of appropriated funds for the construction of its
facilities.
Cross agency support.--Within institutional investments,
the recommendation provides inflationary adjustments for the
various activities as reflected in the following adjustments to
the budget request:
Minor renovation of facilities at various locations... -$12,100,000
Demolition of facilities.............................. -4,700,000
Construction, planning, design and management......... -6,200,000
-----------------
Total, recommended adjustments.................... -23,000,000
As Shuttle transition proceeds, the Committee urges NASA to
maintain and update facilities at all 10 centers to ensure that
each may participate in the work of future NASA missions and
endeavors. NASA is directed to provide to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations, within 60 days of the enactment
of this Act, a comprehensive 5-year detailing by center
projected facilities infrastructure improvements and
construction. The plan shall also include current and projected
mission assignments by center and how such proposed
improvements meet each center's mission objectives.
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $33,600,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 36,400,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 35,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +1,400,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -1,400,000
The Inspector General Act of 1978 established the Office of
Inspector General. The Office's mission is to prevent and
detect crime, fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement while
promoting economy, effectiveness, and efficiency with NASA. The
Committee recommendation includes $35,000,000 for the Office of
Inspector General, $1,400,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and $1,400,000 below the budget estimate. The
appropriation shall be available for one fiscal year.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
The bill includes a provision that funds for announced
prizes otherwise authorized shall remain available until
expended, until the prize is claimed or the offer withdrawn.
The bill includes a provision that establishes thresholds
for the transfer of funds.
The bill includes a provision prohibiting the use of funds
to implement any reduction in force or other involuntary
separations (except for cause) by NASA prior to September 30,
2010.
The bill includes a provision that provides for the
transfer of balances under the old appropriations account
structure to the new appropriations account structure.
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation Act of 1950 established the
Foundation ``to promote the progress of science; to advance the
national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the
national defense.'' The National Science Foundation (NSF)
supports all the non-medical fields of science, engineering and
mathematics. While the NSF serves as an efficient mechanism for
funding research by the nation's colleges and universities
focused on topics of critical national need, such as climate
change, NSF's essential function is to fund a broad array of
research. In this way, as new issues arise, the United States
has technical expertise available to respond and maintains a
nimble science and engineering enterprise that is positioned to
capitalize on new opportunities.
The value of the NSF to the future growth of the United
States economy was clearly acknowledged in the National Academy
of Sciences report Rising Above the Gathering Storm and in the
America Competes Act (Public Law 110-69). NSF's budget is on
course to double by fiscal year 2016, and the funding
recommended in this bill is consistent with this goal.
Continuity in funding levels.--The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) included an additional
$3,002,000,000 in funding for NSF. Roughly two-thirds of these
added funds will support 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year research
grants, with the overwhelming majority of this amount likely
going to fund 3-year grants, consistent with normal NSF
practice. These grants will encourage many undergraduate
science, engineering, and mathematics majors to go to graduate
school in their technical fields and will support a pulse of
research positions employing new graduate degree recipients.
The budget request projects NSF funding in fiscal year 2012 of
$8,490,000,000. This level is only $1,990,000,000 above the
base level for fiscal year 2009. The Committee expects future
budget requests for NSF at least adequate to sustain the levels
of science workforce supported in fiscal year 2009 by the
combined Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-8)
and ARRA so as to avoid a boom-bust cycle in science,
engineering, and mathematics employment. It is critical that
there be sufficient NSF funding in fiscal year 2012 to support
opportunities for this pulse of additional graduate students
and young researchers to continue their careers when the 3-year
grants funded by ARRA expire.
The budget request projects NSF funding in fiscal year 2011
of $7,250,000,000, which is less than 3 percent above the
fiscal year 2010 request. The Committee finds this level of
request inadequate given the critical role played by NSF and
the Nation's colleges and universities. A 7 percent increase,
as projected for the annual increases in fiscal years 2013-
2016, would be more consistent with 10-year doubling of NSF's
budget.
The Committee directs the Foundation to convene a panel of
experts to survey U.S. pre-K to 12 schools that are highly
successful in science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) education and a sampling of corresponding institutions
abroad and report recommendations to Congress on how their STEM
education practices might be more broadly replicated in the
U.S. public school system. The membership of the panel should
include educators, businesspersons, scientists, engineers and
others, based on their expertise and contributions in the
aforementioned fields. The Foundation shall submit a report of
the findings and recommendations of this panel to the Committee
within 180 days of the enactment of this Act.
RESEARCH AND RELATED ACTIVITIES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $5,183,100,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 5,733,240,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 5,642,110,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +459,010,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -91,130,000
The Research and Related Activities appropriation enables
the United States to provide leadership and promote progress
across the expanding frontiers of scientific and engineering
research and education. This appropriation provides resources
for NSF's major research activities, which include biological
sciences; computer and information science and engineering;
engineering; geosciences; mathematical and physical sciences;
social, behavioral, and economic sciences; Office of
International Science and Engineering; U.S. polar research
programs; U.S. Antarctic logistical support activities;
integrative activities, including the Experimental Program to
Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR); Office of
Cyberinfrastructure; and the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.
The Committee recommends an appropriation for research and
related activities of $5,642,110,000 for fiscal year 2010, an
increase of $459,010,000 over the comparable fiscal year 2009
enacted level. The reduction recommended from the request for
NSF research support enables increases in important research
and education funding in NOAA and NASA.
Climate change.--All requested increases for climate change
in the various research programs are supported.
Graduate research fellows.--The budget request provides
funding for the selection of 1,654 new fellows in fiscal year
2010. The Administration has set a goal of 3,000 new graduate
research fellows per year by 2013. To accelerate the increase
in graduate research fellows, the request is increased by
$14,010,000 to enable NSF to select and support 2,000 new
fellows in fiscal year 2010.
Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research
(EPSCoR).--EPSCoR is critical as one means to build science
expertise in all States. The Committee recommendation includes
$147,120,000, the same as the request.
High-risk, High-reward Basic Research.--The Committee
supports the proposal in the budget request to set aside a
minimum of $2,000,000 in each research division to explore
methodologies that support transformative research. The
Committee understands that this initiative will total
approximately $92,000,000 Foundation-wide, and may include
innovative processes for identifying potentially transformative
research, special solicitations and competitions including
innovation prizes, increased use of specialized funding
mechanisms, and exploring novel processes for problem solving.
Major research instrumentation.--The recommendation
includes no funds for Major Research Instrumentation. This
reduction of $100,000,000 from the request recognizes that NSF
has issued two solicitations during fiscal year 2009 for Major
Research Instrumentation with awards expected to total
$400,000,000. The Committee expects the 2011 request again will
seek significant funds for this important program within
Research and Related Activities.
Materials research.--The request for additional work in
Research Resources for Materials Research within Mathematical
and Physical Sciences is not supported in light of the major
similar investments in basic energy sciences within the
Department of Energy Office of Science.
Hydrology and terrestrial ecosystems research.--The
Committee notes the success of the National Center for
Atmospheric Research in serving as an institutional focus for
atmospheric research and in the provision of shared
infrastructure, especially supercomputing and the community
climate model. The Committee sees the need for an appropriate
mechanism to bring together the hydrology research community
and better integrate the different types of data and observing
systems and enhance support of hydrology modeling. The
Committee also sees the need for an appropriate mechanism to
bring together the terrestrial ecology research community
including the existing Long Term Ecological Research sites and
their data, the considerable efforts in agriculture, forestry,
and the USGS Biological Research Program, those who use
satellite data such as that from Landsat, EOS, and the
operational NOAA satellites, and the new NEON distributed
observing system. NSF is directed to report its recommendations
on the need for and establishment of mechanisms in these two
areas of research with the budget request for fiscal year 2011.
Climate change education.--Using the most current
information available, the National Academy of Sciences is
undertaking a study to evaluate the implications of different
atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration target levels and
explain the uncertainties inherent in the analyses to inform
policy makers as they make decisions about stabilization target
levels for atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Within
the amounts appropriated, $100,000 is included for transfer to
the National Academy of Sciences to develop educational
materials based on the conclusions of this study for use at the
collegiate level to strengthen climate education.
Ocean acidification.--Ocean acidification is a critical
problem with potentially destructive effects on coral reefs and
commercial fisheries. Within the amounts appropriated, funding
is included for research into the causes of and solutions to
the growing threat of ocean acidification at levels consistent
with the recommendations of the Federal Ocean Acidification
Research and Monitoring Program.
Metagenomics research.--In environmental research and soil
science, the new approach of metagenomics, in which genes are
identified within samples without isolating individual species,
is of increasing value.
MAJOR RESEARCH EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $152,010,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 117,290,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 114,290,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... -37,720,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -3,000,000
The Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction
(MREFC) appropriation provides funding for the construction and
acquisition of major research facilities that provide unique
capabilities at the cutting edge of science and engineering.
Operations and maintenance costs of the facilities are provided
through appropriations made to Research and Related Activities
(R&RA). For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommendation
includes $114,290,000, a decrease of $37,720,000 from the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $3,000,000 below the budget
request. The recommendation deletes $3,000,000 proposed to
repay the Judgment Fund. The bill also includes language
prohibiting the use of funds to repay the Judgment Fund.
The following table shows the specific projects for which
funding was requested and is recommended.
Advanced LIGO........................................... $46,300,000
Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)................... 42,760,000
Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST).............. 10,000,000
Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI).................... 14,280,000
Ice Cube................................................ 950,000
Distributed and networked observing systems.--Future major
research equipment projects that involve spatially distributed
networks of sensors, such as envisioned for NEON, are likely to
be critical resources required for use by many researchers in
oceanography, limnology, terrestrial and marine ecology and
other fields. Funding for such systems is appropriate for
inclusion in MREFC.
EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $845,260,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 857,760,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 862,900,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +17,640,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +5,140,000
The Foundation's Education and Human Resources activities
support all levels of education and training from pre-
Kindergarten through career development; promote public
understanding of science, mathematics, engineering and
technology; and ensure the United States has world-class
scientists, mathematicians and engineers. This appropriation
supports a cohesive and comprehensive set of activities that
encompass every level of education and every region of the
country. The major components of this directorate include
research and learning in formal and informal settings;
undergraduate education; graduate education; and human resource
development.
The Committee recommendation provides $862,900,000 for
education and human resources, an increase of $17,640,000 over
the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $5,140,000 above the
budget request. The recommendation includes adjustments to the
budget request for the specific programs, as follows:
Discovery research K-12................................. +$20,000,000
Research and evaluation on education in science and
engineering......................................... +5,000,000
Course, curriculum and laboratory improvement........... +5,000,000
STEM talent expansion program........................... +2,560,000
Robert Noyce scholarship program........................ +10,000,000
Advanced technology education........................... -41,600,000
Math and science partnership............................ +2,780,000
Tribal colleges and universities........................ +1,400,000
Advanced Technology Education.--The recommendation supports
continuation of all existing grants within the Advanced
Technology Education Program but does not support any new
grants. The Committee recommends that future requests for this
program of training technicians to work in industry be made in
more appropriate departments or agencies such as the Department
of Education.
K-6 science education.--In testimony before the Commerce,
Justice, Science Subcommittee, it was stated that most children
decide to pursue science, engineering or mathematics in
elementary school. NSF is directed to prepare a report on K-6
science education compiling all state standards, evidence of
their effectiveness, and the degree to which they inculcate
scientific inquiry in the education of young students. This
report is due to the Committees on Appropriations of the House
and Senate no later than April 1, 2010. NSF is encouraged to
work with the National Research Council, the National Science
Teachers Association, and the American Association for the
Advancement of Science in the preparation of this report and to
include recommendations for how to improve science education in
grades K-6.
Experiential learning.--The Committee strongly believes
that students need to have experience doing science and not
merely reading about it. Half a century ago an advantage of
U.S. science education was the inclusion of laboratory work in
high school and college science courses. Today, this type of
practical student experience needs to extend beyond reproducing
standard experiments to taking measurements where the correct
result is not already known. Furthermore, it should extend
beyond the four walls of a physics, chemistry, or biology lab.
Opportunities for scientific measurement are all around us in
the ever changing natural world and are simple enough to be
accessible even to elementary school students with affordable
equipment such as thermometers. Such hands-on measurement
experiences are the central element of inquiry-based
instruction where students ``do'' science: formulating research
questions, taking measurements, analyzing data using their
mathematics skills, and articulating their results. It is
critical that hands-on, inquiry-based instruction form the
basis of student learning because addressing the complexity and
uncertainty inherent in current real world problems requires
the integrated application of all the sciences and mathematics
and research shows that this improves student achievement and
retention. Science literacy for the general public and future
innovation workforce relies on students doing and thinking of
how to apply science and math together from their earliest
years. Accordingly, the Committee recommendation provides an
increase of $30,000,000 above the request to enhance research,
implementation and evaluation of inquiry-based, hands-on
instruction for K-12 science students and those who will teach
them.
Discovery research K-12 (DR-K12).--The increase above the
request for the DR-K12 program is to enhance advancement of
inquiry-based instruction in K-12 STEM teaching with at least
half the funding focused on grades K-6. This may be done
through the development, implementation, and study of
resources, models, and technologies for use by students,
teachers, and policymakers.
Research and evaluation of inquiry-based instruction.--The
increase above the request for the Research and Evaluation on
Education in Science and Engineering (REESE) program is
provided to enhance support for empirical research on inquiry-
based instruction.
Inquiry-based undergraduate instruction.--The increase
above the request is provided to support creation, adaptation,
and dissemination of learning materials and teaching strategies
that implement inquiry-based instruction in teaching science to
future K-12 teachers and other undergraduates and to assess
student learning and evaluate course effectiveness. Teachers
need to experience a model of inquiry-based science instruction
in order to have a model for use of inquiry in their
classrooms.
Hispanic Serving Institutions--Undergraduate Program.--NSF
is directed to provide a report detailing plans to establish a
Hispanic Serving Institutions--Undergraduate Program no later
than 90 days following enactment. The Committee expects a
significant funding request for such a program to be included
in the fiscal year 2011 budget request for NSF.
AGENCY OPERATIONS AND AWARD MANAGEMENT
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $294,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 318,370,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 299,870,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +5,870,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... -18,500,000
The Agency Operations and Award Management appropriation
includes funding for staff salaries, benefits, staff travel,
training, rent, information technology, administrative
contractual services, supplies, equipment and other operating
expenses necessary for management of NSF's research and
education activities. This appropriation supports full-time
equivalents, provides for current administrative services and
enhances the agency's investment in information technology to
increase productivity. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee
recommendation provides $299,870,000, $5,870,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $18,500,000 below the budget
request. The recommended level provides for inflationary
increases in staffing at the NSF. NSF continues to be a well-
managed, adequately staffed agency. Given the challenging
economic climate of the Nation, NSF is encouraged to avoid
excessive salaries for rotators.
NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $4,030,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 4,340,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 4,340,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2008 enacted.......................... +310,000
Fiscal Year 2009 request.......................... ................
The Office of the National Science Board, established in
1950, establishes policies and assesses the quality, relevance
and performance of the National Science Foundation's awards and
capital investments. In addition, the Board provides advice to
the executive branch and Congress on matters of science and
engineering policy. For fiscal year 2010, the recommendation
provides $4,340,000, the same as the budget request and
$310,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $12,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 14,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 13,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2008 enacted.......................... +1,000,000
Fiscal Year 2009 request.......................... -1,000,000
The Office of the Inspector General was established to
promote economy, efficiency and effectiveness in administering
the Foundation's programs; to detect and prevent waste, fraud
or abuse within the Foundation or by individuals that request
or receive National Science Foundation funding; and to identify
and resolve cases of misconduct in science. For fiscal year
2010, the Committee recommends $13,000,000, an increase of
$1,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
$1,000,000 below the budget estimate.
TITLE IV--RELATED AGENCIES
Commission on Civil Rights
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $8,800,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 9,400,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 9,400,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +600,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The United States Commission on Civil Rights was created to
be an independent, bi-partisan, fact-finding agency. The
Commission is responsible for investigating charges of citizens
being deprived of voting and other civil rights and collecting,
studying and disseminating information on the impact of Federal
laws and policies on civil rights. For fiscal year 2010, the
Committee recommends $9,400,000, which is equal to the budget
request.
Support of State Advisory Committees (SACs).--The Committee
is supportive of the Commission's goal to increase the number
of SACs with active charters. However, the published chartering
goals for 2009 and 2010 appear unrealistic when compared to the
pace at which the Commission re-chartered SACs in 2007 and
2008. In order to improve the Committee's ability to track
chartering progress, the Commission is directed to submit to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a biannual
report listing the 51 SACs and the expiration date of the most
recent charter for each. The report should also include the
projected date of re-chartering for those SACs whose most
recent charter has expired and a description of the recent
activities undertaken by those that do have an active charter.
In the event that the Commission is able to achieve its
chartering goals, the Committee notes that significant vacancy
rates in regional offices will still impede the Commission's
larger goal of reinvigorating its SACs. Under the assumptions
in the budget request, there will be more active SACs in
operation in 2010, but the number of regional office staff
available to support them will actually decrease. Only one of
the six regional offices is projected to be fully staffed, and
one is projected to enter its third year with a secretary as
the only onboard staff. The Commission is urged to ensure that
its regional office staffing plan is coordinated with its
charter expansion plan so that newly reinvigorated SACs will
have the operational support necessary to succeed.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has
jurisdiction over employment discrimination issues within the
Federal government and also for private employers, State and
local agencies, employment services and labor organizations.
For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $367,303,000,
which is equal to the budget request.
Backlog reduction.--The Committee remains very concerned
about EEOC's increasing charge backlog, which is on pace to
reach 102,944 charges by the end of fiscal year 2010. This is
nearly double the size of the backlog as it existed less than
three years ago. Clearly, staff levels have been inadequate to
deal with this workload, and a significant new investment in
personnel, particularly investigators and attorneys, will be
necessary to even maintain the backlog at current levels.
The Committee is disappointed, therefore, that the budget
request does not contain more resources for staffing. At the
requested level, EEOC will only be able to fill existing
``hollow'' FTE rather than increase staffing above the current
FTE ceiling. At these levels, EEOC can expect, at best, a
slowing of the rate of growth in the backlog projections rather
than any substantive backlog reduction. The Committee urges the
EEOC to develop and implement a multiyear plan to increase EEOC
staffing to the levels necessary to achieve backlog reduction
in a timely manner. In the meantime, EEOC is directed to submit
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations quarterly
reports on projected and actual agency staffing levels so that
the Committee can better monitor EEOC's personnel resources.
Workload projections.--EEOC is reminded that workload
projections should be continually calibrated with actual data
as it becomes available through midyear reviews and other
means. EEOC is also directed to ensure that its workload
projections account for necessary changes in overtime policy as
required by a March 23, 2009 arbitration decision addressing
EEOC overtime payments.
Federal sector hearings.--The budget request notes EEOC's
intention to prioritize Federal sector cases into fast, regular
or complex discovery tracks in order to improve the efficiency
of the hearing process. EEOC is directed to submit to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of the
enactment of this Act an implementation plan for the new
process, including background on the need for these changes,
the proposed implementation schedule and an analysis of the
potential impact, both positive and negative, on the ability of
Federal employees to get a fair hearing under the track system.
International Trade Commission
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $75,100,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 82,700,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 82,700,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +7,600,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The International Trade Commission is an independent,
quasi-judicial agency responsible for conducting trade-related
investigations; providing the Congress and the President with
independent, expert technical advice to assist in the
development and implementation of U.S. international trade
policy; responding to the Congress and the President on various
matters affecting international trade; maintaining the
Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System of
internationally accepted product nomenclature; providing
technical assistance to eligible small businesses seeking
remedies and benefits under the trade laws; and performing
other specific statutory responsibilities ranging from research
and analysis to quasi-judicial functions on trade-related
matters.
The Committee recommends $82,700,000 for the International
Trade Commission (ITC) for fiscal year 2009, which is
$7,600,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the same as the
request. This provides for the acquisition of additional space
and fills key positions to meet the increased section 337
intellectual property caseload.
Legal Services Corporation
PAYMENT TO THE LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $390,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 435,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 440,000,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +50,000,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +5,000,000
The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) is a private, non-
profit corporation that provides free civil legal assistance,
according to locally-determined priorities, to people living in
poverty. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$440,000,000, which is $5,000,000 above the budget request.
Increasing financial impact.--Given the increasing demand
for legal aid services and the contraction of non-federal legal
aid funding sources, it is critical for LSC to identify every
possible means to increase the impact of its Federally
appropriated dollars. Obtaining more services at no or low cost
through private attorney involvement would provide one such
means, and the Committee encourages LSC to increase its efforts
to do so. The Committee also encourages LSC to reevaluate its
prioritization between basic field grants and Technology
Initiative Grants (TIG). LSC has provided examples of how
effective TIG implementation has increased efficiency, allowed
grantees to serve a greater total number of clients and freed
up attorney resources for use on the most complex cases. With
these benefits in mind, the Committee hopes that LSC will
consider more significant increases to the TIG program when
making future funding requests.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION--LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION
A general provision in Title V of the bill revises the
administrative provision in order to permit grantees to pursue
the recovery of attorney's fees when recovery is permitted or
required under Federal or State law. The Committee believes
that this action will level the playing field between legal aid
attorneys and their counterparts in the private sector and
provide a potentially crucial source of additional revenue to
legal aid providers in a year in which state and private
funding sources are decreasing.
Marine Mammal Commission
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $3,200,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 3,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 3,300,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +100,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... +300,000
The Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors on Marine Mammals are charged with
overseeing and advising on domestic and international actions
to further the policies and provisions of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act. The Commission provides objective, science-
based advice to the Congress and the Executive Branch on issues
related to the protection of marine mammals. For fiscal year
2010, the Committee recommends $3,300,000, which is $300,000
above the budget request. The Committee further recommends that
the Commission continue its global assessment of marine mammals
and prepare a summary report for Congress prioritizing
international research and conservation efforts.
Office of the United States Trade Representative
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $47,272,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 48,326,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 48,326,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +1,054,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) seeks to
contribute to U.S. economic growth, competitiveness and
prosperity by opening markets and reducing trade and investment
barriers around the world to create new commercial
opportunities for U.S. goods and services industries, workers,
ranchers and farmers. The Committee recommendation includes
$48,326,000 for the Office of the United States Trade
Representative (USTR) for fiscal year 2009, which is $1,054,000
above the fiscal year 2009 level and the same as the request.
The U.S. Trade Representative is a member of the
President's Cabinet and serves as the President's principal
trade advisor, negotiator, and spokesperson on trade issues.
USTR is part of the Executive Office of the President. Through
an interagency structure, USTR coordinates trade policy,
resolves disagreements, and frames issues for presidential
decision. The USTR is also the Vice-Chairman of the Overseas
Private Investment Corporation, a member of the Board of the
Millennium Challenge Corporation, an ex officio member of the
Export-Import Bank Board of Directors, and a member of the
National Advisory Council on International Monetary and
Financial Policies.
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).--The Committee is aware
of significant intellectual property issues that infringe on
our trading relationships with China, Russia and Canada. The
Committee encourages USTR to continue to prioritize such issues
in bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations, and in
particular, to provide semiannual reports to the Committee on
Russia's progress in complying with intellectual property
commitments.
International Standards.--The Committee directs the USTR to
ensure that U.S. business interests are fully represented in
international standards negotiations. The Committee directs the
USTR to collaborate with the Department of Commerce, including
the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the
State Department to reduce trade barriers to U.S. exports. The
Committee continues its direction to the USTR to ensure U.S.
standards are adopted in international negotiations.
Textiles.--The Committee is aware of concerns about the
World Trade Organization negotiations concerning textiles and
apparel. Specifically, the Committee is concerned that the
current part of tariff reduction negotiations under the Doha
Round will result in a non-reciprocal arrangement detrimental
to United States manufacturers. The Committee believes such
negotiations should be consistent with the trade negotiating
objectives of the United States contained in section 2012 of
the Bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C.
3802) and directs to report to the Committee within 60 days of
enactment of this Act regarding adherence to these objectives.
Bill language is included regarding this matter.
State Justice Institute
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.............................. $4,100,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.............................. 5,131,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 5,131,000
Bill compared with:
Fiscal Year 2009 enacted.......................... +1,031,000
Fiscal Year 2010 request.......................... ................
The State Justice Institute (SJI) is a non-governmental
organization that awards grants and undertakes other activities
designed to improve the administration of justice in State
courts. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
$5,131,000, which is equal to the budget request.
Grant funding.--The Committee's recommendation will allow
SJI to increase grant funding available for each of its five
categories of major grants. Deficits in State governments
across the country will likely encourage more State courts to
look for outside funding sources to support their initiatives,
and the Committee is hopeful that the increases provided in
this bill will allow SJI to meet this increased demand for its
services.
TITLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS
The Committee recommendation includes the following general
provisions for the departments and agencies funded in the
accompanying bill.
Section 501 prohibits the use of funds for publicity or
propaganda purposes unless expressly authorized by law.
Section 502 prohibits any appropriation contained in this
Act from remaining available for obligation beyond the current

provided under existing law or under existing Executive Order
issued pursuant to existing law.
Section 504 provides that if any provision of the Act or
the application of such provision to any person or circumstance

affected.
Section 505 provides for the Committee's policy concerning
the reprogramming of funds. Section 505(a) prohibits the
reprogramming of funds which: (1) creates or initiates a new
program, project or activity; (2) eliminates a program,
project, or activity, unless the Appropriations Committees of

Appropriations Committees of both Houses of Congress are
notified 15 days in advance; or (9) results from any general
savings, including savings from a reduction in personnel, which
would result in a change in existing programs, activities, or
projects as approved by Congress unless the Appropriations

applications to establish foreign trade zones.
Section 511 prohibits funds made available in this Act from
being used to implement a Federal user fee for background
checks conducted pursuant to the Brady Handgun Control Act of
1993, or to implement a background check system that does not

within 24 hours.
Section 512 delays the obligations of any receipts
deposited into the Crime Victims Fund in excess of $700,000,000
until October 1, 2010. This language is continued to ensure a
stable source of funds will remain available for the program,
despite inconsistent levels of criminal fines deposited
annually into the fund.
Section 513 prohibits the use of Department of Justice
funds for programs that discriminate against or denigrate the
religious beliefs of students participating in such programs.
Section 514 prohibits the transfer of funds in the Act to

Disclosure of Earmarks and Congressionally Directed Spending Items
Directed Spending by Congress and by the Executive Branch
This bill contains $8.73 billion in grant funding awarded
solely at the discretion of the Administration, and $57 million
in funding requested by the President for specific projects. In
addition to placing a one year moratorium on earmarks in
appropriations bills enacted in 2007 so that new rules could be
put in place, the Committee has subsequently taken
unprecedented action to increase transparency and reduce
funding for earmarks. This bill continues to further reduce
earmarks in 2010, by 3 percent below 2009. In this bill since
2006, the total funding earmarked has been reduced by 52
percent. This year earmarked funding will equal 1 percent of
the cost of the bill. It should also be noted that under the
policies adopted by the Committee the use of member earmarks
awarded to for-profit entities as a functional equivalent of no
bid contracts is ended. In cases where the Committee funds an
earmark designated for a for-profit entity, the Committee
includes legislative language requiring the Executive Branch to
nonetheless issue a request for proposal that gives other
entities an opportunity to apply and requires the agency to
evaluate all bids received and make a decision based on merit.
This gives the original designee an opportunity to be brought
to the attention of the agency, but with the possibility that
an alternative entity may be selected.

Comparative Statement of New Budget (Obligational) Authority
The following table provides a detailed summary, for each
department and agency, comparing the amounts recommended in the
bill with fiscal year 2009 enacted amounts and budget estimates
presented for fiscal year 2010:
ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF JERRY LEWIS AND FRANK R. WOLF
We commend Chairman Mollohan and Chairman Obey for the
even-handed and collaborative approach taken in assembling this
bill providing appropriations for the Departments of Commerce
and Justice, Science, and Related Agencies for fiscal year
2010. The bill includes important increases to programs that
represent top national priorities, including counterterrorism,
crime fighting, and scientific research and education. Both
Chairman Mollohan and Chairman Obey have been open and
responsive to issues and concerns raised by Republican Members
and we appreciate their commitment to bipartisanship and
regular order during consideration of this bill through the
Committee process. We urge the majority to adhere to an open
process as this and other fiscal year 2010 appropriations bills
move forward and strongly believe that the Committee should not
take actions that unnecessarily restrict the ability of Members
to offer amendments, especially through onerous pre-printing
requirements for floor amendments.
The allocation given to the Subcommittee is $64.4 billion,
which is $6.8 billion or 11.7% above 2009, and $197 million
below the President's request. We believe that the Subcommittee
could have met the most pressing funding needs by prioritizing
within a lower allocation. With this very generous allocation
virtually every agency and account in the bill receives a
significant increase. This corresponds with the majority's
overall budget blueprint which increases discretionary spending
by $77 billion above fiscal year 2009. Since the Democratic
Party took control of Congress, discretionary spending has
increased by 41 percent. Non-defense, non-Veterans Affairs
discretionary spending has increased by a staggering 85
percent. Spending at this rate is unsustainable, and will
exacerbate the burden of our deficits and debt, and prolong our
economic downturn. As Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke testified to
Congress earlier this month, large budget deficits threaten the
long-term health of the economy, and restoration of fiscal
balance is necessary to restoring and maintaining the
confidence of the financial markets.
Materials posted to the Committee website by the Majority
suggest that the bill terminates 11 programs and makes
reductions to 33 additional programs. However, this information
is misleading. Of the 11 listed program terminations, eight
were one-time construction or acquisition projects which were
completed with fiscal year 2009 funds and therefore had no
ongoing funding requirements. Another of the program
``terminations'' was the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery
program. This activity is not terminated in the fiscal year
2010 bill. The funding is continued at a reduced level under a
different account.
Of the 33 programs identified as ``reduced'' in the bill,
most involve reductions from the request, not from the amount
appropriated in fiscal year 2009, and again, many of the so-
called reductions represent one-time, non-recurring or phasing-
out activities for which there is no continuing funding
requirement. In fact, within the entire list of 33 programs,
only four represent ongoing programs where the amount in the
fiscal year 2010 bill is less than the amount appropriated in
fiscal year 2009: the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program;
NSF's Advanced Technology Education program; Missing and
Exploited Children programs; and NIST's maintenance and repair
account.
We commend the Chairman for including in the bill the full
request for the salaries and expenses appropriation for the
FBI, including an increase of over $400 million in critical
counterterrorism and other national security programs. The bill
also includes a critically important $35 million initiative for
FBI and ATF to address the problem of violent gangs that plague
our communities nationwide.
While the bill includes more than $600 million above the
request for State and local law enforcement accounts, the
amount for the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP)
is reduced by $100 million from the fiscal year 2009 level of
$400 million. It is a Federal responsibility to secure the
border, yet the burden of costs for incarcerating criminal
aliens falls overwhelmingly on States and localities. The
rising costs incurred by local jurisdictions to incarcerate
undocumented criminal aliens are putting enormous pressure on
State and local budgets. We hope that, as the bill moves
forward, SCAAP funding can be restored to at least the fiscal
year 2009 level.
We also commend the Chairman for his initiative to provide
increased funding for prisoner re-entry programs at the
Federal, State and local level. We strongly support efforts to
increase work opportunities for inmates, and reduce criminal
recidivism, as well as innovative programs like Drug Courts
that provide alternatives to the prosecution and incarceration
of offenders with substance abuse problems.
The bill funds NASA at $18.2 billion, but freezes funding
at the current level for Exploration activities pending a blue
ribbon Human Space Flight Review panel report on future
options. This represents a cut of more than $560 million to the
request. The funding level in the bill will not be sufficient
to sustain the current development schedule for the new
generation of Constellation vehicles. In fact, the level in the
bill is likely to be inadequate to sustain any option that the
Human Space Flight Review panel may recommend. Therefore, we
look forward to working to ensure that the final bill will
include sufficient funds to continue the U.S. leadership role
in space.
Finally, the bill includes important language limiting the
use of funds by the Department to undertake activities related
to the closure of the Guantanamo Bay Detention facility. The
bill does not include the $60 million requested by the
administration to support these activities, in recognition that
the administration has not submitted a plan that details how
they will carry out the closure and resolve the disposition of
individual detainee cases. The bill prohibits the use of funds
to release detainees into the United States. The bill also
prohibits the transfer of detainees to the United States for
detention or prosecution unless the President presents a plan
to Congress that details the costs and risks. Finally, the bill
prohibits the use of funds to transfer or release detainees
abroad unless the President sends a report 30 days in advance
that includes an assessment of risk.
We are deeply concerned by the releases and transfers of
detainees by the administration in recent days. The
administration continues to withhold information from the
Congress and the American public, and appears to be racing to
move detainees before the will of the Congress can be enacted
into law. Director Mueller of the FBI recently testified before
Congress that bringing detainees to the United States,
including bringing them here for detention and trial, poses
risks to national security, including providing financing,
radicalizing others and undertaking attacks in the United
States. Further, the Department of Defense has released
findings that various former Guantanamo detainees are known to
have reengaged in terrorists activity associated with the Al
Qaeda network, including facilitating the travel of terrorists
into war zones, providing funds to Al Qaeda, and supporting and
associating with known terrorists. This administration appears
to be ignoring or disregarding those risks, as detainees are
being released and transferred without justification to or
oversight by the Congress.
In conclusion, while we have concerns with the overall
spending in the bill, and the items mentioned above, we would
like to again express appreciation to Chairman Mollohan and
Chairman Obey for their openness and consideration. We are
grateful for the cooperative approach, and look forward to
working together as the process continues to produce a bill
that funds critical national priorities.
Jerry Lewis.
