note; 117 Stat. 2595).

SEC. 308. INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS ASSISTANCE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The 9/11 Commission determined that the inability of 
        first responders to communicate effectively on September 11, 
        2001 was a critical obstacle to an effective multi-
        jurisdictional response.
            (2) Many jurisdictions across the country still experience 
        difficulties communicating that may contribute to confusion, 
        delays, or added risks when responding to an emergency.
            (3) During fiscal year 2004, the Office for Domestic 
        Preparedness awarded over $834,000,000 for 2,912 projects 
        through Department of Homeland Security grant programs for the 
        purposes of improving communications interoperability.
            (4) Interoperable communications systems are most effective 
        when designed to comprehensively address, on a regional basis, 
        the communications of all types of public safety agencies, 
        first responder disciplines, and State and local government 
        facilities.
            (5) Achieving communications interoperability is complex 
        due to the extensive training, system modifications, and 
        agreements among the different jurisdictions that are necessary 
        to implement effective communications systems.
            (6) The Congress authorized the Department of Homeland 
        Security to create an Office for Interoperability and 
        Compatibility in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 
        Prevention Act of 2004 to, among other things, establish a 
        comprehensive national approach, coordinate federal activities, 
        accelerate the adoption of standards, and encourage research 
        and development to achieve interoperable communications for 
        first responders.
            (7) The Office for Interoperability and Compatibility 
        includes the SAFECOM Program that serves as the umbrella 
        program within the Federal government to improve public safety 
        communications interoperability, and has developed the RAPIDCOM 
        program, the Statewide Communications Interoperability Planning 
        Methodology, and a Statement of Requirements to provide 
        technical, planning, and purchasing assistance for Federal 
        departments and agencies, State and local governments, and 
        first responders.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
Department of Homeland Security should implement as expeditiously as 
possible the initiatives assigned to the Office for Interoperability 
and Compatibility under section 7303 of the Intelligence Reform and 
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (6 U.S.C. 194), including specifically 
the following:
            (1) Establishing a comprehensive national approach to 
        achieving public safety interoperable communications.
            (2) Issuing letters of intent to commit future funds for 
        jurisdictions through existing homeland security grant programs 
        to applicants as appropriate to encourage long-term investments 
        that may significantly improve communications interoperability.
            (3) Providing technical assistance to additional urban and 
        other high-risk areas to support the establishment of 
        consistent, secure, and effective interoperable communications 
        capabilities.
            (4) Completing the report to the Congress on the 
        Department's plans for accelerating the development of national 
        voluntary consensus standards for public safety interoperable 
        communications, a schedule of milestones for such development, 
        and achievements of such development, by no later than 30 days 
        after the date of enactment of this Act.

                         TITLE V--MISCELLANEOUS

SEC. 501. BORDER SECURITY AND ENFORCEMENT COORDINATION AND OPERATIONS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) As part of the creation of the Department of Homeland 
        Security, section 442 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 
        (Public Law 107-273) established a Bureau of Border Security 
        and transferred into it all of the functions, programs, 
        personnel, assets, and liabilities pertaining to the following 
        programs: the Border Patrol; alien detention and removal; 
        immigration-related intelligence, investigations, and 
        enforcement activities; and immigration inspections at ports of 
        entry.
            (2) Title IV of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public 
        Law 107-273) also transferred to the new Department the United 
        States Customs Service, as a distinct entity within the new 
        Department, to further the Department's border integrity 
        mission.
            (3) Utilizing its reorganization authority provided in the 
        Homeland Security Act of 2002, the President submitted a 
        reorganization plan for the Department on January 30, 2003.
            (4) This plan merged the customs and immigration border 
        inspection and patrol functions, along with agricultural 
        inspections functions, into a new entity called United States 
        Customs and Border Protection.
            (5) The plan also combined the customs and immigration 
        enforcement agents, as well as the Office of Detention and 
        Removal Operations, the Office of Federal Protective Service, 
        the Office of Federal Air Marshal Service, and the Office of 
        Intelligence, into another new entity called United States 
        Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
            (6) The President's January 30, 2003, reorganization plan 
        did not explain the reasons for separating immigration 
        inspection and border patrol functions from other immigration-
        related enforcement functions, or to combine immigration-
        related enforcement functions with customs and other functions, 
        contrary to the design of the Bureau of Border Security as 
        prescribed by the Congress in section 442 of the Homeland 
        Security Act of 2002.
            (7) United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement has 
        faced major budgetary challenges that are, in part, 
        attributable to the inexact division of resources upon the 
        separation of immigration functions. These budget shortfalls 
        have forced United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement 
        to impose hiring freezes and to release aliens that otherwise 
        should be detained.
    (b) Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 30 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security 
        shall review and evaluate the current organizational structure 
        of the Department of Homeland Security established by the 
        President's January 30, 2003, reorganization plan and submit a 
        report of findings and recommendations to the appropriate 
        congressional committees (as defined in section 2 of the 
        Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101)).

                or operational gaps among and between these missions;
                    (C) a description of the rationale for, and any 
                benefits of, the current organizational combination of

                and the Federal Protective Service are properly located

                known as the Shadow Wolves;

                Enforcement and by the combination of immigration-
                related enforcement functions with customs and other

    (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall complete a study 
of, and report to Congress on, the likely consequences of increasing 
the fee described in section 244(c)(1)(B) of the Immigration and

    (b) Elements of Study.--The study described in subsection (a) 
shall--
            (1) calculate the number of applicants for relief under 
        section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
        1254(a)) who have sought a waiver, been granted a waiver, or 
        been denied a waiver from such fees due to their inability to 
        pay such fees, since the enactment of such section;
            (2) project the cost at which such fee would be set if it 
        were calculated consistent with the manner in which the 
        Department of Homeland Security calculates fees under section 
        286(m) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
        1356(m));
            (3) taking into account the countries of nationality of the 
        current population of beneficiaries of section 244 and the lack 
        of work authorization that such beneficiaries have while 
        awaiting the outcome of an adjudication, assess the ability of 
        the current population of beneficiaries under section 244 to 
        pay such fee if it were increased to the level projected 
        pursuant to paragraph (2);
            (4) estimate the number of requests for fee waivers that 
        would likely have to be adjudicated per 1,000 applications 
        should such fee be increased to the level projected pursuant to 
        paragraph (2);
            (5) estimate the cost and number of man hours that would be 
        required to be expended in order to adjudicate the fee waiver 
        requests described in such paragraph; and
            (6) estimate the cost differential between the current cost 
        of adjudicating applications and the statutory fee, on a per-
        application and an aggregate basis.

              FOR IMMIGRATION BENEFIT APPLICATIONS AND PETITIONS.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall complete a study

Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356(u)) to other applications and petitions.
    (b) Elements of Study.--In performing the study required under 
subsection (a), the Comptroller General--
            (1) shall consider and assess--
                    (A) all factors that help quantify and assess the 
                current impact of premium processing on immigration 
                benefits adjudications of employment-based applications 
                and petitions; and
                    (B) the degree to which the use of premium 
                processing for employment-based applications and 
                petitions has negatively or positively impacted the 
                length of time that it takes to adjudicate employment-
                based applications and petitions that are eligible for 
                treatment under section 286(u) of the Immigration and 
                Nationality Act but for which no premium fee is paid; 
                and
            (2) shall assess--
                    (A) whether expansion of section 286(u) of the 
                Immigration and Nationality Act to family-based 
                immigration petitions and applications would increase 
                or decrease the length of time it takes to adjudicate 
                family-based petitions and applications in cases where 
                the applicant cannot afford to make use of the premium 
                service;
                    (B) all other likely future impacts of an expansion 
                of premium processing to family-based immigration 
                benefits applications and petitions;
                    (C) the number of additional adjudicators needed to 
                process premium processing applications;
                    (D) the impact of premium processing on the number 
                and assignment of adjudicators; and
                    (E) the number of individual applicants who would 
                opt to use premium processing under this expanded 
                program annually.

                Federal custody of aliens in the United States 
                (including the transportation of such aliens across
