Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are released without adequate 
disclaimers regarding the limitations of the data.
    (b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shall 
include in all such data releases, language similar to the following 
that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to draw broad 
conclusions about firearms-related crime:
        (1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement 
    authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale and 
    possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies may 
    request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons are not 
    necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all firearms 
    used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in 
    crime.
        (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for purposes 
    of determining which types, makes, or models of firearms are used 
    for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute a 
    random sample and should not be considered representative of the 
    larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset of 
    that universe. Firearms are normally traced to the first retail 
    seller, and sources reported for firearms traced do not necessarily 
    represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general are 
    acquired for use in crime.
    Sec. 519. (a) The Inspectors General of the Department of Commerce, 
the Department of Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration, and the National Science Foundation shall conduct 
audits, pursuant to the Inspector General Act (5 U.S.C. App.), of 
grants or contracts for which funds are appropriated by this Act, and 
shall submit reports to Congress on the progress of such audits, which 
may include preliminary findings and a description of areas of 
particular interest, within 180 days after initiating such an audit and 
every 180 days thereafter until any such audit is completed.
    (b) Within 60 days after the date on which an audit described in 
subsection (a) by an Inspector General is completed, the Secretary, 
Attorney General, Administrator, or Director, as appropriate, shall 
make the results of the audit available to the public on the Internet 
website maintained by the Department, Administration, or Foundation, 
respectively. The results shall be made available in redacted form to 
exclude--
        (1) any matter described in section 552(b) of title 5, United 
    States Code; and
        (2) sensitive personal information for any individual, the 
    public access to which could be used to commit identity theft or 
    for other inappropriate or unlawful purposes.
    (c) A grant or contract funded by amounts appropriated by this Act 
may not be used for the purpose of defraying the costs of a banquet or 
conference that is not directly and programmatically related to the 
purpose for which the grant or contract was awarded, such as a banquet 
or conference held in connection with planning, training, assessment, 
review, or other routine purposes related to a project funded by the 
grant or contract.
    (d) Any person awarded a grant or contract funded by amounts 
appropriated by this Act shall submit a statement to the Secretary of 
Commerce, the Attorney General, the Administrator, or the Director, as 
appropriate, certifying that no funds derived from the grant or 
contract will be made available through a subcontract or in any other 
manner to another person who has a financial interest in the person 
awarded the grant or contract.
    (e) The provisions of the preceding subsections of this section 
shall take effect 30 days after the date on which the Director of the 
Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with the Director of 
the Office of Government Ethics, determines that a uniform set of rules 
and requirements, substantially similar to the requirements in such 
subsections, consistently apply under the executive branch ethics 
program to all Federal departments, agencies, and entities.
    Sec. 520. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
available under this Act may be used to issue patents on claims 
directed to or encompassing a human organism.
    Sec. 521. None of the funds made available in this Act shall be 
used in any way whatsoever to support or justify the use of torture by 
any official or contract employee of the United States Government.
    Sec. 522. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or treaty, 
none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available under this 
Act or any other Act may be expended or obligated by a department, 
agency, or instrumentality of the United States to pay administrative 
expenses or to compensate an officer or employee of the United States 
in connection with requiring an export license for the export to Canada 
of components, parts, accessories or attachments for firearms listed in 
Category I, section 121.1 of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations 
(International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it 
existed on April 1, 2005) with a total value not exceeding $500 
wholesale in any transaction, provided that the conditions of 
subsection (b) of this section are met by the exporting party for such 
articles.
    (b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export license--
        (1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any Shipper's 
    Export Declaration or notification letter required by law, or from 
    being otherwise eligible under the laws of the United States to 
    possess, ship, transport, or export the articles enumerated in 
    subsection (a); and
        (2) does not permit the export without a license of--
            (A) fully automatic firearms and components and parts for 
        such firearms, other than for end use by the Federal 
        Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of Canada;
            (B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete 
        breech mechanisms for any firearm listed in Category I, other 
        than for end use by the Federal Government, or a Provincial or 
        Municipal Government of Canada; or
            (C) articles for export from Canada to another foreign 
        destination.
    (c) In accordance with this section, the District Directors of 
Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or temporary export 
without a license of any unclassified articles specified in subsection 
(a) to Canada for end use in Canada or return to the United States, or 
temporary import of Canadian-origin items from Canada for end use in 
the United States or return to Canada for a Canadian citizen.
    (d) The President may require export licenses under this section on 
a temporary basis if the President determines, upon publication first 
in the Federal Register, that the Government of Canada has implemented 
or maintained inadequate import controls for the articles specified in 
subsection (a), such that a significant diversion of such articles has 
and continues to take place for use in international terrorism or in 
the escalation of a conflict in another nation. The President shall 
terminate the requirements of a license when reasons for the temporary 
requirements have ceased.
    Sec. 523. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no 
department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving 
appropriated funds under this Act or any other Act shall obligate or 
expend in any way such funds to pay administrative expenses or the 
compensation of any officer or employee of the United States to deny 
any application submitted pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B) and 
qualified pursuant to 27 CFR section 478.112 or .113, for a permit to 
import United States origin ``curios or relics'' firearms, parts, or

text of--
        (1) paragraph 2 of article 16.7 of the United States-Singapore 
    Free Trade Agreement;
        (2) paragraph 4 of article 17.9 of the United States-Australia 
    Free Trade Agreement; or
        (3) paragraph 4 of article 15.9 of the United States-Morocco 
    Free Trade Agreement.
    Sec. 525. (a)(1) The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and 
Space Administration shall modify the Administration's financial 
management system and perform all appropriate testing and assurance 
activities necessary for the system to be capable of properly 
budgeting, accounting for, controlling, and reporting on appropriations 
made to the Administration for fiscal year 2009 and thereafter under 
the appropriation accounts set out for the Administration in H.R. 3093 
of the 110th Congress, as passed by the House of Representatives.
    (2) The Administrator shall transmit to the Committee on 
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Committee on

management and operating contract, or a contract for environmental 
remediation or waste management in excess of $100,000,000 in annual 
funding at a current or former management and operating contract site 
or facility, or award a significant extension or expansion to an 
existing management and operating contract, or other contract covered 
by this section, unless such contract is awarded using competitive 
procedures or the Secretary of Energy grants, on a case-by-case basis, 
a waiver to allow for such a deviation. The Secretary may not delegate 
the authority to grant such a waiver.
    (b) The term ``competitive procedures'' has the meaning provided in 
section 4 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 
403) and includes procedures described in section 303 of the Federal 
Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 253) other 
than a procedure that solicits a proposal from only one source.
    (c) Within 30 days of formally notifying an incumbent contractor 
that the Secretary intends to grant such a waiver, the Secretary shall 
submit to the Subcommittees on Energy and Water Development of the 
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
Senate a report notifying the Subcommittees of the waiver and setting 
forth, in specificity, the substantive reasons why the Secretary 
believes the requirement for competition should be waived for this 
particular award.

of such availability or such need for input to universities and other 
potential users. When the Department of Energy considers the 
participation of a university or other potential user as a formal

Department shall employ full and open competition in selecting such a 
partner. For purposes of this section, the term ``user facility'' 
includes, but is not limited to: (1) a user facility as described in

provided by law in effect as of the date of this Act or unless a rate 
is specifically set by an Act of Congress thereafter, the 
Administrators of the Southeastern Power Administration, the 
Southwestern Power Administration, and the Western Area Power 
Administration, shall use the ``yield'' rate in computing interest 
during construction and interest on the unpaid balance of the costs of

of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, funds made 
available by this or any other Act for the purposes described below, 
and shall submit budget requests for such purposes. These funds shall

    Sec. 739. (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;
            (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; and
            (C) the contractor does not receive an advantage for a 
        proposal that would reduce costs for the Federal Government 
        by--
                (i) not making an employer-sponsored health insurance 
            plan available to the workers who are to be employed in the 
            performance of that activity or function under the 
            contract;
                (ii) offering to such workers an employer-sponsored 
            health benefits plan that requires the employer to 
            contribute less towards the premium or subscription share 
            than the amount that is paid by the Federal Government for 
            health benefits for civilian employees under chapter 89 of 
            title 5, United States Code; or
                (iii) offering to such workers a retirement benefit 
            that in any year costs less than the annual retirement cost 
            factor applicable to Federal employees under chapter 84 of 
            title 5, United States Code.
        (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--

            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.

shall not be considered to be in violation of subparagraph 6(f)(5)(A) 
of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 
(16 U.S.C. 1604(f)(5)(A)) solely because more than 15 years have passed 
without revision of the plan for a unit of the National Forest System. 
Nothing in this section exempts the Secretary from any other 
requirement of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning 
Act (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.) or any other law: Provided, That if the 
Secretary is not acting expeditiously and in good faith, within the 
funding available, to revise a plan for a unit of the National Forest 
System, this section shall be void with respect to such plan and a 
court of proper jurisdiction may order completion of the plan on an 
accelerated basis.
    Sec. 411. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised if the 
indicated rate is deficit when appraised using a residual value 
approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western redcedar. 
Program accomplishments shall be based on volume sold. Should Region 10 
sell, in the current fiscal year, the annual average portion of the 
decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land 
Management Plan in sales which are not deficit when appraised using a 
residual value approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western 
redcedar, all of the western redcedar timber from those sales which is 
surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska, shall be made 
available to domestic processors in the contiguous 48 United States at 
prevailing domestic prices. Should Region 10 sell, in the current 
fiscal year, less than the annual average portion of the decadal 
allowable sale quantity called for in the Tongass Land Management Plan 
in sales which are not deficit when appraised using a residual value 
approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western redcedar, the 
volume of western redcedar timber available to domestic processors at 
prevailing domestic prices in the contiguous 48 United States shall be 
that volume: (1) which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors 
in Alaska; and (2) is that percent of the surplus western redcedar 
volume determined by calculating the ratio of the total timber volume 
which has been sold on the Tongass to the annual average portion of the 
decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land 
Management Plan. The percentage shall be calculated by Region 10 on a 
rolling basis as each sale is sold (for purposes of this amendment, a 
``rolling basis'' shall mean that the determination of how much western 
redcedar is eligible for sale to various markets shall be made at the 
time each sale is awarded). Western redcedar shall be deemed ``surplus 
to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska'' when the timber sale 
holder has presented to the Forest Service documentation of the 
inability to sell western redcedar logs from a given sale to domestic 
Alaska processors at a price equal to or greater than the log selling 
value stated in the contract. All additional western redcedar volume 
not sold to Alaska or contiguous 48 United States domestic processors 
may be exported to foreign markets at the election of the timber sale 
holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be sold at prevailing export prices 
at the election of the timber sale holder.
    Sec. 412. No funds provided in this Act may be expended to conduct 
preleasing, leasing and related activities under either the Mineral 
Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) or the Outer Continental Shelf 
Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.) within the boundaries of a National 
Monument established pursuant to the Act of June 8, 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 
et seq.) as such boundary existed on January 20, 2001, except where 
such activities are allowed under the Presidential proclamation 
establishing such monument.
    Sec. 413. In entering into agreements with foreign countries 
pursuant to the Wildfire Suppression Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 1856m) 
the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior are 
authorized to enter into reciprocal agreements in which the individuals 
furnished under said agreements to provide wildfire services are 
considered, for purposes of tort liability, employees of the country 
receiving said services when the individuals are engaged in fire 
suppression: Provided, That the Secretary of Agriculture or the 
Secretary of the Interior shall not enter into any agreement under this 
provision unless the foreign country (either directly or through its 
fire organization) agrees to assume any and all liability for the acts 
or omissions of American firefighters engaged in firefighting in a 
foreign country: Provided further, That when an agreement is reached 
for furnishing fire fighting services, the only remedies for acts or 
omissions committed while fighting fires shall be those provided under 
the laws of the host country, and those remedies shall be the exclusive 
remedies for any claim arising out of fighting fires in a foreign 
country: Provided further, That neither the sending country nor any 
legal organization associated with the firefighter shall be subject to 
any legal action whatsoever pertaining to or arising out of the 
firefighter's role in fire suppression.
    Sec. 414. In awarding a Federal contract with funds made available 
by this Act, notwithstanding Federal Government procurement and 
contracting laws, the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the 
Interior (the ``Secretaries'') may, in evaluating bids and proposals, 
give consideration to local contractors who are from, and who provide 
employment and training for, dislocated and displaced workers in an 
economically disadvantaged rural community, including those 
historically timber-dependent areas that have been affected by reduced 
timber harvesting on Federal lands and other forest-dependent rural 
communities isolated from significant alternative employment 
opportunities: Provided, That notwithstanding Federal Government 
procurement and contracting laws the Secretaries may award contracts, 
grants or cooperative agreements to local non-profit entities, Youth 
Conservation Corps or related partnerships with State, local or non-
profit youth groups, or small or micro-business or disadvantaged 
business: Provided further, That the contract, grant, or cooperative 
agreement is for forest hazardous fuels reduction, watershed or water 
quality monitoring or restoration, wildlife or fish population 
monitoring, or habitat restoration or management: Provided further, 
That the terms ``rural community'' and ``economically disadvantaged'' 
shall have the same meanings as in section 2374 of Public Law 101-624: 
Provided further, That the Secretaries shall develop guidance to 
implement this section: Provided further, That nothing in this section 
shall be construed as relieving the Secretaries of any duty under 
applicable procurement laws, except as provided in this section.
    Sec. 415. (a) Limitation on Competitive Sourcing Studies.--
        (1) Of the funds made available by this or any other Act to the

achieved by conducting the study, and the study was completed prior to 
the date of this Act.
    (d) In preparing any reports to the Committees on Appropriations on 
competitive sourcing activities, agencies funded in this Act shall 
include all costs attributable to conducting the competitive sourcing 
competitions and staff work to prepare for competitions or to determine 
the feasibility of starting competitions, including costs attributable 
to paying outside consultants and contractors and, in accordance with 
full cost accounting principles, all costs attributable to developing,

Department of the Interior employees, the Secretary of the Interior 
shall--
        (1) determine whether any of the employees concerned are also 
    qualified to participate in wildland fire management activities; 
    and
        (2) take into consideration the effect that contracting with a 
    private sector source would have on the ability of the Department 
    of the Interior to effectively and efficiently fight and manage 
    wildfires.

    average temperatures to rise at a rate outside the range of natural 
    variability and are posing a substantial risk of rising sea-levels, 
    altered patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation, and 
    increased frequency and severity of floods, droughts, and 
    wildfires;
        (2) there is a growing scientific consensus that human activity 
    is a substantial cause of greenhouse gas accumulation in the 
    atmosphere; and
        (3) mandatory steps will be required to slow or stop the growth 
    of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
    (b) It is the sense of the Congress that there should be enacted a 
comprehensive and effective national program of mandatory, market-based 
limits and incentives on emissions of greenhouse gases that slow, stop, 
and reverse the growth of such emissions at a rate and in a manner 
that: (1) will not significantly harm the United States economy; and 
(2) will encourage comparable action by other nations that are major 
trading partners and key contributors to global emissions.

    programs for previous fiscal years the funds for which are

        (3) determine the ratio that--
            (A) the obligation limitation for Federal-aid highways,

            (B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated for 
        Federal-aid highways and highway safety construction programs 
        (other than sums authorized to be appropriated for provisions

    sections is equal to the amount determined by multiplying the ratio 
    determined under paragraph (3) by the sums authorized to be 
    appropriated for that section for the fiscal year; and
        (B) distribute $2,000,000,000 for section 105 of title 23,

    the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 
    Act: A Legacy for Users and title 23, United States Code (other

    programs (other than the amounts apportioned for the equity bonus

    the equity bonus program for the fiscal year are greater than 
    $2,639,000,000, and the Appalachian development highway system 
    program) that are apportioned by the Secretary under the Safe, 
    Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 
    Legacy for Users and title 23, United States Code, in the ratio 
    that--
            (A) amounts authorized to be appropriated for such programs 
        that are apportioned to each State for such fiscal year, bear 
        to
            (B) the total of the amounts authorized to be appropriated

        States, and will not be available for obligation, in such 
        fiscal year due to the imposition of any obligation limitation 
        for such fiscal year.

neighborhood reinvestment activities, as authorized by the Neighborhood

which $5,000,000 shall be for a multi-family rental housing program.
    For an additional amount, $180,000,000 shall be made available 
until expended to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation for 
mortgage foreclosure mitigation activities, under the following terms 
and conditions:
        (1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (``NRC''), shall 
    make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by the Department 
    of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or the NRC (with match to be 
    determined by the NRC based on affordability and the economic 
    conditions of an area; a match also may be waived by the NRC based 
    on the aforementioned conditions) to provide mortgage foreclosure 
    mitigation assistance primarily to States and areas with high rates 
    of defaults and foreclosures primarily in the sub prime housing 
    market to help eliminate the default and foreclosure of mortgages 
    of owner-occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such 
    foreclosure. Other than areas with high rates of defaults and 
    foreclosures, grants may also be provided to approved counseling 
    intermediaries based on a geographic analysis of the Nation by the 
    NRC which determines where there is a prevalence of sub prime 
    mortgages that are risky and likely to fail, including any trends 
    for mortgages that are likely to default and face foreclosure. A 
    State Housing Finance Agency may also be eligible where the State 
    Housing Finance Agency meets all the requirements under this 
    paragraph. A HUD- or NRC-approved counseling intermediary shall 
    meet certain mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance counseling 
    requirements, as determined by the NRC, and shall be approved by 
    HUD or the NRC as meeting these requirements.
        (2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only be 
    made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes with mortgages 
    in default or in danger of default. These mortgages shall likely be 
    subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners will be provided 
    such assistance that shall consist of activities that are likely to 
    prevent foreclosures and result in the long-term affordability of 
    the mortgage retained pursuant to such activity or another positive 
    outcome for the homeowner. No funds made available under this 
    paragraph may be provided directly to lenders or homeowners to 
    discharge outstanding mortgage balances or for any other direct 
    debt reduction payments.
        (3) The use of Mortgage Foreclosure Mitigation Assistance by 
    approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing Finance 
    Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the borrower's 
    financial situation, an evaluation of the current value of the 
    property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling regarding the 
    assumption of the mortgage by another non-Federal party, counseling 
    regarding the possible purchase of the mortgage by a non-Federal 
    third party, counseling and advice of all likely restructuring and 
    refinancing strategies or the approval of a work-out strategy by 
    all interested parties.
        (4) NRC shall award $50,000,000 in mortgage foreclosure 
    mitigation grants for States and areas with the greatest needs 
    within 60 days of enactment. Additional funds may be awarded once 
    the NRC certifies that HUD- or NRC-approved counseling 
    intermediaries and State Housing Finance Agencies have the need for 
    additional funds in States and areas with high rates of mortgage 
    foreclosures, defaults, or related activities and the expertise to 
    use these funds effectively. The NRC may provide up to 15 percent 
    of the total funds under this paragraph to its own charter members 
    with expertise in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a 
    certification by the NRC that the procedures for selection do not 
    consist of any procedures or activities that could be construed as 
    an unacceptable conflict of interest or have the appearance of 
    impropriety.
        (5) NRC- or HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing 
    Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall have 
    demonstrated experience in successfully working with financial 
    institutions as well as borrowers facing default, delinquency and 
    foreclosure as well as documented counseling capacity, outreach 
    capacity, past successful performance and positive outcomes with 
    documented counseling plans (including post mortgage foreclosure 
    mitigation counseling), loan workout agreements and loan 
    modification agreements.
        (6) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up 
    to $5,000,000 may be made available to build the mortgage 
    foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity of 
    counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with HUD- or 
    NRC-approved counseling intermediaries and their partners, except 
    that private financial institutions that participate in NRC 
    training shall pay market rates for such training.
        (7) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up 
    to 4 percent may be used for associated administrative expenses for 
    the NRC to carry out activities provided under this section.
        (8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance may include a 
    budget for outreach and advertising, as determined by the NRC.
        (9) The NRC shall report bi-annually to the House and Senate 
    Committees on Appropriations as well as the Senate Banking 
    Committee and House Financial Services Committee on its efforts to 
    mitigate mortgage default. Such reports shall identify successful 
    strategies and methods for preserving homeownership and the long-
    term affordability of at-risk mortgages and shall include 
    recommended efforts that will or likely can assist in the success 
    of this program as well as an analysis of any policy and procedures 
    that failed to result in successful mortgage foreclosure 
    mitigation. The report shall include an analysis of the details and 
    use of any post mitigation counseling of assisted borrowers 
    designed to ensure the continued long-term affordability of the 
    mortgages which were the subject of the mortgage foreclosure 
    mitigation assistance.
