                (2) any system to implement subsection 922(t) of title 18,

        Sec. 516. (a) Tracing studies conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol,
    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. 517. (a) The Inspectors General of the Department of Commerce,
    the Department of Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space
    Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the Legal Services
    Corporation 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, Director, or President, as
    appropriate, shall make the results of the audit available to the
    public on the Internet website maintained by the Department,
    Administration, Foundation, or Corporation, 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, Director, or
    President, 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. 518.  None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
    available under this Act may be used to issue patents on claims

    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. 521.  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

    of a project within the jurisdiction of the Departments of Commerce or

    reasonable cause to believe that the total program cost has increased
    by 10 percent, the program manager shall immediately inform the
    Secretary, Administrator, or Director. The Secretary, Administrator, or
    Director shall notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
    within 30 days in writing of such increase, and shall include in such

    have contributed to the increase in total program costs or procurement
    costs; new estimates of the total project or procurement costs; and a
    statement validating that the project's management structure is
    adequate to control total project or procurement costs.

    transfer of funds in this Act, for intelligence or intelligence related

        Sec. 527.  None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
    available by this Act may be used to enter into a contract in an amount
    greater than $5,000,000 or to award a grant in excess of such amount
    unless the prospective contractor or grantee certifies in writing to
    the agency awarding the contract or grant that, to the best of its
    knowledge and belief, the contractor or grantee has filed all Federal
    tax returns required during the three years preceding the

            antidumping, countervailing duty, and safeguard laws;

                        (A) lessen the effectiveness of domestic and
                    international disciplines on unfair trade, especially
                    dumping and subsidies; or
                        (B) lessen the effectiveness of domestic and

                    firms can compete fully on fair terms and enjoy the
                    benefits of reciprocal trade concessions; and
                (3) to address and remedy market distortions that lead to

    Provided, That in addition, $65,000,000 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) (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 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 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-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 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) 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. NRC may use other
            criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas.
                (6) Of the total amount made available under this
            paragraph, up to $3,000,000 may be made available to build the
            mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity
            of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with
            HUD-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 grants may
            include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, as
            determined by the NRC.
                (9) The NRC shall continue to 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.
