report to the Committees on Appropriations by the Director of the 
Office of Management and Budget and receipt of approval to transfer 
funds by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
    (b) The report in (a) shall detail--
            (1) the amount proposed for transfer for any department and 
        agency by program office, bureau, or activity, as appropriate;
            (2) the specific use of funds;
            (3) the relevance of that use to that department or agency 
        and each bureau or office within, which is contributing funds; 
        and
            (4) a description on any such activities for which funds 
        were appropriated that will not be implemented or partially 
        implemented by the department or agency as a result of the 
        transfer.
    Sec. 939. (a) Requirement for Public-Private Competition.--
            (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the 
        funds appropriated by this or any other Act shall be available 
        to convert to contractor performance an activity or function of 
        an executive agency, that on or after the date of enactment of 
        this Act, is performed by more than 10 Federal employees 
        unless--
                    (A) the conversion is based on the result of a 
                public-private competition that includes a most 
                efficient and cost effective organization plan 
                developed by such activity or function; and
                    (B) the Competitive Sourcing Official determines 
                that, over all performance periods stated in the 
                solicitation of offers for performance of the activity 
                or function, the cost of performance of the activity or 
                function by a contractor would be less costly to the 
                executive agency by an amount that equals or exceeds 
                the lesser of--
                            (i) 10 percent of the most efficient 
                        organization's personnel-related costs for 
                        performance of that activity or function by 
                        Federal employees; or
                            (ii) $10,000,000.
            (2) This paragraph shall not apply to--
                    (A) the Department of Defense;
                    (B) section 44920 of title 49, United States Code;
                    (C) a commercial or industrial type function that--
                            (i) is included on the procurement list 
                        established pursuant to section 2 of the 
                        Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 47); or
                            (ii) is planned to be converted to 
                        performance by a qualified nonprofit agency for 
                        the blind or by a qualified nonprofit agency 
                        for other severely handicapped individuals in 
                        accordance with that Act;
                    (D) depot contracts or contracts for depot 
                maintenance as provided in sections 2469 and 2474 of 
                title 10, United States Code; or
                    (E) activities that are the subject of an ongoing 
                competition that was publicly announced prior to the 
                date of enactment of this Act.
    (b) Use of Public-Private Competition.--Nothing in Office of 
Management and Budget Circular A-76 shall prevent the head of an 
executive agency from conducting a public-private competition to 
evaluate the benefits of converting work from contract performance to 
performance by Federal employees in appropriate instances. The Circular 
shall provide procedures and policies for these competitions that are 
similar to those applied to competitions that may result in the 
conversion of work from performance by Federal employees to performance 
by a contractor.
    Sec. 940. (a) The adjustment in rates of basic pay for employees 
under the statutory pay systems that takes effect in fiscal year 2007 
under sections 5303 and 5304 of title 5, United States Code, shall be 
an increase of 2.7 percent, and this adjustment shall apply to civilian 
employees in the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland 
Security and such adjustments shall be effective as of the first day of 
the first applicable pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2007.
    (b) Notwithstanding section 913 of this Act, the adjustment in 
rates of basic pay for the statutory pay systems that take place in 
fiscal year 2007 under sections 5344 and 5348 of title 5, United States 
Code, shall be no less than the percentage in paragraph (a) as 
employees in the same location whose rates of basic pay are adjusted 
pursuant to the statutory pay systems under section 5303 and 5304 of 
title 5, United States Code. Prevailing rate employees at locations 
where there are no employees whose pay is increased pursuant to 
sections 5303 and 5304 of title 5 and prevailing rate employees 
described in section 5343(a)(5) of title 5 shall be considered to be 
located in the pay locality designated as ``Rest of US'' pursuant to 
section 5304 of title 5 for purposes of this paragraph.
    (c) Funds used to carry out this section shall be paid from 
appropriations, which are made to each applicable department or agency 
for salaries and expenses for fiscal year 2007.
    Sec. 941. Unless otherwise authorized by existing law, none of the 
funds provided in this Act or any other Act may be used by an executive 
branch agency to produce any prepackaged news story intended for 
broadcast or distribution in the United States, unless the story 
includes a clear notification within the text or audio of the 
prepackaged news story that the prepackaged news story was prepared or 
funded by that executive branch agency.
    Sec. 942. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used 
in contravention of section 552a of title 5, United States Code 
(popularly known as the Privacy Act) or of section 552.224 of title 48 
of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    Sec. 943. Each executive department and agency shall evaluate the 
creditworthiness of an individual before issuing the individual a 
government travel charge card. The department or agency may not issue a 
government travel charge card to an individual that either lacks a 
credit history or is found to have an unsatisfactory credit history as 
a result of this evaluation: Provided, That this restriction shall not 
preclude issuance of a restricted-use charge, debit, or stored value 
card made in accordance with agency procedures to: (1) an individual 
with an unsatisfactory credit history where such card is used to pay 
travel expenses and the agency determines there is no suitable 
alternative payment mechanism available before issuing the card; or (2) 
an individual who lacks a credit history. Each executive department and 
agency shall establish guidelines and procedures for disciplinary 
actions to be taken against agency personnel for improper, fraudulent, 
or abusive use of government charge cards, which shall include 
appropriate disciplinary actions for use of charge cards for purposes, 
and at establishments, that are inconsistent with the official business 
of the Department or agency or with applicable standards of conduct.
    Sec. 944. Except as expressly provided otherwise, any reference to 
``this Act'' contained in this title shall not apply to title V.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Transportation, Treasury, Housing 
and Urban Development, the Judiciary, the District of Columbia and 
Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2007''.
