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 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING INVESTMENTS IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Regaining our economic strength is critical to our national security. In order to improve the economic condition and to ensure longterm 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 3 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. rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 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’’ con- VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 4 cept 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 evidencebased strategies and programs, at both the Federal and State levels, to reduce recidivism and improve the criminal justice system.

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. rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 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 Sub- VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 9 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING committees 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.

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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 11 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 postexport 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.

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 dualuse 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.

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 invest- VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 15 ments 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.

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. 17 BUREAU OF THE CENSUS Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ...................................................................

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.

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 hardto-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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 19 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 46 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 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.

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 lifecycle cost increases and schedule delays. rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING HERBERT C.

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. rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 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 authorized by law; Section 103 provides the authority to transfer funds between Department of Commerce appropriation accounts and requiring notification to the Committee of certain actions; Section 104 provides that any costs incurred by the Department in response to funding reductions shall be absorbed within the total budgetary resources available to the Department and shall be subject to the reprogramming limitations set forth in this Act; Section 105 extends Congressional notification requirements for the GOES–R satellite program; Section 106 provides for the reimbursement for services within Department of Commerce buildings; and Section 107 provides the Administrator with the authority to avail NOAA of needed resources, with the consent of those supplying the resources, to carry out responsibilities of any statute administered by NOAA.

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 appro- VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 52 priate 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 smuggling, along the southwest border. Combating financial fraud.—Within funds provided, the Committee approves the programmatic request of $7,500,000 and 43 positions to enhance efforts in the areas of mortgage fraud, bankruptcy, affirmative civil enforcement, and white collar crime. Prosecution of serious crimes in Indian Country.—The 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 mission of the United States Trustee Program (USTP) is to promote integrity and efficiency in the Nation’s bankruptcy system by enforcing bankruptcy laws and providing oversight of private trustees. The USTP is organized into three levels: the Executive Office for United States Trustees in Washington, DC; United States Trustees in 21 regions whose geographic jurisdiction is established by statute; and 95 field offices, which cover 150 court sites and 280 other administrative hearing locations. The Committee recommends $224,488,000 for the USTP, which is $7,072,000 over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the budget request. The appropriation is offset by $210,000,000 in offsetting fee collections and $5,000,000 derived from interest on investments in U.S. securities, resulting in a direct appropriation of $9,488,000.

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.

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.

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 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. VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 63 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 directfunded 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 directfunded positions in fiscal year 2010. This plan should show onboard 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 in- VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 64 vestigate 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 65 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.

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.

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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 67 regarding enforcement of federal laws and use of federal resources against individuals involved in medical marijuana activities.

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 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... Recommended in the bill ................................................................... Bill compared with: Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ $5,595,754,000 5,979,831,000 6,077,231,000 +481,477,000 +97,400,000 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 69 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 70 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 71 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 72 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 anticraving 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’’ VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00072 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 73 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.

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.

LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES, FEDERAL PRISON INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... Recommended in the bill ...................................................................

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ $2,328,000 2,700,000 2,700,000 +372,000 ............................ 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.

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.

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.

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 nonprofit entities that work to exonerate individuals who have been wrongfully convicted.

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.

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.

This amount is an increase of $10,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the request.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 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 competi- VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00131 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 132 tiveness 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. rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00132 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 133 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 oneyear, 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00133 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 134 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00134 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 135 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: rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING Realign SMD administrative activities to CAS ...............................

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. VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00135 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 136 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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00136 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 137 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.

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.

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).

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 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.

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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00144 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 145 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: rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING Adjustment pending blue ribbon panel review: Constellation systems ................................................................. Advanced capabilities .................................................................. Realign the costs of administrative activities to CAS ..................... Consolidate all agency construction in new account ....................... ¥$586,300,000 +19,800,000 ¥33,500,000 ¥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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 3year 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 im- VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00158 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 159 plement 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.

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.

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ $8,800,000 9,400,000 9,400,000 +600,000 ............................ 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WOLF rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING 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, nonVeterans 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 longterm 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.

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 VerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00281 Fmt 6604 Sfmt 6604 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149 282 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. FRANK R.
