    SEC. 263. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS THAT AFFECT 
      DIRECT SPENDING.
    (a) Discretionary Administrative Actions.--
        (1) In general.--Before an agency may finalize any covered 
    discretionary administrative action, the head of the agency shall 
    submit to the Director for review written notice regarding the 
    covered discretionary administrative action, which shall include an 
    estimate of the budgetary effects of the covered discretionary 
    administrative action.
        (2) Increasing direct spending.--
            (A) In general.--If the covered discretionary 
        administrative action would increase direct spending, the 
        written notice submitted by the head of the agency under 
        paragraph (1) shall include a proposal to undertake 1 or more 
        other administrative actions that would provide a reduction in 
        direct spending greater than or equal to the increase in direct 
        spending attributable to the covered discretionary 
        administrative action.
            (B) Review.--
                (i) In general.--The Director shall determine whether 
            the reduction in direct spending in a proposal in a written 
            notice from an agency under subparagraph (A) is greater 
            than or equal to the increase in direct spending 
            attributable to the covered discretionary administrative 
            action to which the written notice relates.
                (ii) No offset.--If the written notice regarding a 
            proposed covered discretionary administrative action that 
            would increase direct spending does not include a proposal 
            to offset the increased direct spending as determined in 
            clause (i), the Director shall return the written notice to 
            the agency for resubmission in accordance with this title.
    (b) Nondiscretionary Actions.--If an agency determines that an 
administrative action that would increase direct spending is required 
by law and therefore is not a covered discretionary administrative 
action, before the agency finalizes that administrative action, the 
head of the agency shall--
        (1) submit to the Director a written opinion by the general 
    counsel of the agency, or the equivalent employee of the agency, 
    explaining that legal conclusion;
        (2) submit to the Director a projection of the amount of direct

    ``(e) Pilot Projects for Promoting Accountability by Measuring Work 
Outcomes.--
        ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall carry out a pilot 
    program under which the Secretary may select up to 5 States to 
    which a grant is made under section 403(a) for a fiscal year to 
    negotiate performance benchmarks for work and family outcomes for 
    recipients of assistance under the State program funded under this 
    part, and programs funded with qualified State expenditures. The 
    Secretary shall issue guidance on how States apply for 
    participation in the pilot. The benchmarks shall include--
            ``(A) the percentage of work-eligible individuals under the 
        State program funded under this part who are in unsubsidized 
        employment during the 2nd quarter after exiting the program;
            ``(B) the level of earnings of such individuals in the 2nd 
        and 4th quarters after exit; and
            ``(C) other indicators of family stability and well-being 
        as established by the Secretary.
        ``(2) Level of performance benchmark.--The Secretary and a 
    State selected under paragraph (1) shall agree to the requisite 
    level of performance on these benchmarks after developing baseline 
    data in the State and comparative data in other States.
        ``(3) Failure of state to meet benchmark.--If a State fails to 
    meet a measured benchmark standard agreed to under paragraph (2) 
    for 2 successive fiscal years, the State, in order to continue in 
    the pilot shall enter into a plan with the Secretary to achieve the 
    required level of performance or, if mutually agreed to, adjust the 
    benchmark based on new information about the feasibility of meeting 
    such benchmark.
        ``(4) Duration.--The pilot under this subsection shall be in 
    effect for 6 fiscal years, with one year to establish benchmark 
    data and negotiate targets and five years to measure performance 
    against the targets, and shall supersede the requirements under 
    section 407 for such fiscal years, notwithstanding any other 
    provision of law.
        ``(5) Application of penalty for failure to reduce assistance 
    for recipients refusing without good cause to work.--For purposes 
    of section 409(a)(14), a State operating a pilot must have a system 
    for reducing the amount of assistance payable to a family if an 
    individual refuses, without good cause (including for reasons 
    described in 407(e)(2)), to engage in any such activities as the 
    State has required of such an individual. A State without such a 
    system shall be considered to have failed to comply with the 
    requirements of section 407(e) for so long as the failure to comply 
    continues.
        ``(6) Collection of performance data.--Each State selected 
    under paragraph (1), in consultation with the Secretary, shall 
    collect and submit to the Secretary data on the performance of the 
    State operating such a pilot program.
        ``(7) Reports.--
            ``(A) Initial report.--Not later than 12 months after the 
        date of the enactment of this subsection the Secretary shall 
        submit a report to Congress on the status of the program under 
        this section.
            ``(B) Final report.--Not later than 12 months after the 
        date on which the programs under this section have terminated, 
        the Secretary shall submit a comprehensive report to Congress 
        on outcomes achieved under such programs.''.

    less than $35 in assistance funded with qualified State 
    expenditures (as defined in section 409(a)(7)(B)(i)).''.

        after the exit.
            ``(D) The percentage of individuals who have not attained 
        24 years of age, are attending high school or enrolled in an 
        equivalency program, and are work-eligible individuals or were

        program, who obtain a high school degree or its recognized 
        equivalent while receiving assistance under the State program 
        funded under this part or within 1 year after the exit.
        ``(3) Definition of exit.--In paragraph (2), the term `exit' 
    means, with respect to a State program funded under this part, 
    ceases to receive assistance under the program funded by this part.
        ``(4) Regulations.--In order to ensure nationwide comparability 
    of data, the Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of 
    Labor and with States, shall issue regulations governing the 
    reporting of performance indicators under this subsection.''.

    within the meaning of such term in chapter 5 of title 5, United 
    States Code;

    the agency's categorical exclusions, another agency's categorical 
    exclusions consistent with section 109 of this Act, or another 
    provision of law;

    fundamentally conflict with the requirements of another provision 
    of law; or

    environmental factors into consideration in determining whether to 
    take the proposed action.

    environmental assessment with respect to a proposed agency action 
    that does not have a reasonably foreseeable significant effect on 
    the quality of the human environment, or if the significance of 
    such effect is unknown, unless the agency finds that the proposed 
    agency action is excluded pursuant to one of the agency's 
    categorical exclusions, another agency's categorical exclusions 
    consistent with section 109 of this Act, or another provision of 
    law. Such environmental assessment shall be a concise public 
    document prepared by a Federal agency to set forth the basis of 
    such agency's finding of no significant impact or determination 
    that an environmental impact statement is necessary.
        ``(3) Sources of information.--In making a determination under 
    this subsection, an agency--
