        The programs of the Economic Development Administration (EDA)
    provide grants for public works and development facilities, other
    financial assistance, and the planning and coordination needed to
    alleviate conditions of substantial and persistent unemployment and
    underemployment in economically distressed areas and regions. In 1997,
    EDA will continue to encourage development that maximizes the
    utilization of the Nation's manpower and capital, protects the
    environment, and alleviates the adverse impact caused by technological
    changes, structural decline, economic dislocation, and natural
    disasters.

        Within the areas served, EDA strives to meet its program objectives
    through the use of a broad range of activities.

        Planning grants.--Support the design and implementation of effective
    economic development policies and programs by local organizations.

        Technical assistance grants.--Provide for local feasibility and
    industry studies, natural resource development and export promotion. In
    addition, provide funding for a network of university centers that
    assist public bodies, nonprofit organizations and businesses to plan and
    implement activities designed to generate jobs and income in distressed
    areas.

        Public works grants.--Provide for infrastructure projects that
    foster the establishment or expansion of industrial and commercial
    businesses generating employment in communities experiencing high
    unemployment, low per-capita income, and out-migration.

        Economic adjustment grants.--Provide a package of assistance tools,
    including planning, technical assistance, revolving loan funds and
    infrastructure development, to help communities counteract either a
    gradual erosion or a sudden dislocation of their local economic
    structure.

        Research, evaluation and demonstration.--Funds are used to support
    studies about the causes of economic distress and approaches to
    alleviating and preventing such problems as well as the dissemination of
    economic development information.

        Defense economic investment.--Provide communities impacted by DOD
    and DOE downsizing, as well as defense contract reductions, with tools
    for developing integrated plans to adjust to economic dislocations and
    assist in the implementation of these plans.

        Trade adjustment assistance.--In 1997, this program is proposed for
    termination.

        The activities of this appropriation provide for the collection,
    compilation, and publication of a broad range of current statistics
    dealing with economic, demographic, and social data.

        Current surveys and statistics.--
            Current economic statistics.--The business statistics program
        provides current information on sales and related measures of retail
        and wholesale trade and selected service industries. Major
        activities will include efforts to improve the collection and
        publication of statistics for the service industry; and to remedy
        shortcomings in principal economic indicators, such as for retail
        and wholesale trade.
            Construction statistics reports are provided on significant
        construction activity such as housing permits and starts, value of
        new construction, residential alterations and repairs, and quarterly
        price indexes for new single-family houses. The program will work to
        remedy shortcomings in several principal economic indicators, such
        as construction and housing starts.
            Manufacturing statistics survey key industrial commodities and
        manufacturing activities, providing current statistics on the
        quantity and value of industrial output.
            General economic statistics provide a Standard Statistical
        Establishment List (SSEL) of all U.S. business firms and their
        establishments, uniform classification data, annual county business
        data, and corporate financial data. The 1997 program will continue
        efforts to implement the new North American industry classification
        system (NAICS). NAICS will restructure the existing Industry
        Classification System. The program will continue other efforts
        involving industry classification, such as developing ways for
        recognizing emerging industries and technologies. The program will
        develop and implement methods to ease reporting burdens on U.S.
        businesses.
            Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly,
        cumulative, and annual reports on the quantity, shipping weight, and
        dollar value of imports and exports, by mode of transportation,
        detailed commodity category, customs districts, and country of
        origin or destination. This program covers the Census Bureau
        responsibilities under the Trade Act of 1974.
            Government statistics reports are published annually regarding
        the revenue, expenditures, indebtedness and debt transactions,
        financial assets, employment, and payrolls of State and local
        governments. The Census Bureau provides quarterly information on
        State and local tax revenue on the national level by type of tax and
        governmental level, and provides information on financial assistance
        programs of the Federal government.
            Current demographic statistics.--Household surveys provide
        information on the number, geographic distribution, and the social
        and economic characteristics of the population.
            Population and housing analyses provide current demographic
        reports on the geographic distribution and on the demographic,
        social, and economic characteristics of the population, as well as
        current estimates and future projections of the population of the
        United States, and special analyses of demographic, social and
        economic trends. International statistics provide estimates of
        population, labor force, and economic activity, including spatial
        distribution, and analyses concerning aspects of demographic
        policies, economic policies, and trends for various countries. The
        Census Bureau compiles housing statistics on the Nation's housing
        inventory and provides national and regional estimates of housing
        vacancy rates.
            Survey development and data services.--The Statistical Abstract
        that the Census Bureau prepares annually summarizes Government and
        private statistics of the industrial, social, political, and
        economic activities of the United States. The Bureau conducts
        general research on survey methods and techniques to find ways of
        improving the efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness of statistical
        programs. Data systems development provides advanced data capture,
        data processing, and information retrieval technology to meet Census
        Bureau program requirements.

        Reimbursable program.--The Bureau of the Census undertakes work for
    specific individuals, groups or organizations, State and local
    governments, and other Federal agencies when it is more appropriate or
    efficient to have the work performed by the Bureau. Significant work
    includes collection of labor force and consumer expenditure data for the
    Bureau of Labor Statistics, national education and health program data
    for the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human
    Services, and annual housing data for the Department of Housing and
    Urban Development.

        This appropriation funds legislatively mandated censuses of economic
    and demographic areas once or twice each decade and other authorized
    periodic activities.

        Economic statistics programs.--
            Economic censuses.--The economic censuses provide data on
        manufactures, mineral industries, retail and wholesale trade and
        service industries, construction, and transportation. The censuses
        are taken every fifth year, covering calendar years ending in two
        and seven. FY 1997, the third year in the six-year cycle of the 1997
        Economic Censuses, is a crucial year for planning and preparation.
        Major activities include: completing the census content
        determination and design processes; developing a mailing list;
        finalizing preparations for data collection and processing; printing
        report forms; conducting promotion and outreach efforts; and,
        preparing mailing packages scheduled to be mailed in December 1997.
            Census of governments.--This census collects State and local
        government data on taxes, tax valuations, governmental receipts,
        expenditures, indebtedness, and number of employees. This census is
        taken every fifth year for calendar years ending in two and seven.
        FY 1997 is the third year in the five-year cycle for the Census of
        Governments. It is a key year for planning preparation. Major
        activities include: clearing census form content; finalizing an
        address list of governmental units; reviewing central collection
        arrangements; developing data processing systems and procedures;
        printing forms and questionnaires; and, beginning the design of
        publication and electronic report tables.
            Census of agriculture.--The Bureau is not requesting funds for
        this census. Funding is being requested by the Department of
        Agriculture.

        Demographic statistics programs.--
            Intercensal demographic estimates.--This program develops
        updated population estimates, in years between decennial censuses,
        for states, counties, metropolitan areas and urban places; and,
        prepares a variety of data to meet diverse legislative needs.
            Decennial census.--1997 is the third year of the cycle for
        operational preparation for the 2000 Decennial Census. The focus of
        these activities is on the preparatory work required for the census.
        The 1997 decennial program covers a broad range of activities, such
        as conducting tests and planning for the data collection and
        processing facets of the Census. These and other activities help
        ensure that

    [[Page 266]]
        the Bureau is fully prepared for conducting the Census in the year
        2000.

        Continuous measurement.--The Continuous measurement program will
    allow the Census Bureau to collect and disseminate, on an annual basis,
    the types of data collected on the Decennial census long-form. The
    Continuous measurement program will make the Census Bureau the premier
    source for current population and housing data needed for both near and
    long-term economic development. The 1997 program will focus on
    completing all data collection and processing activities for the 1996
    test areas, and publishing the results.

        Sample redesign.--This program provides for revisions to all of the
    monthly, quarterly and annual household survey samples to conform to the
    redistribution of population measured in the decennial census. This is
    done to update the accuracy of the ongoing surveys.

        Computer assisted survey information collection (CASIC).--This 1997
    program will maximize the use of automation and telecommunications to
    integrate collection, capture, and processing of data. This integration
    will increase cost efficiency; enhance data quality; provide more
    complete and timely management information and increase the timeliness
    and cost efficiency of processing operations. CASIC will result in
    improvements that provide quicker access to data that affect policy
    decisions within the Executive and Legislative branches.

        Geographic support.--The activity's goal is to determine the correct
    location of every business establishment, farm, and residence in the
    U.S. and its territories. The activity's major components include the
    Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER)
    data base and the Master Address File (MAF). TIGER provides maps and
    other geographic information; MAF provides residential addresses for the
    nation. TIGER and MAF are important because they provide essential
    information and products for conducting many of the Bureau's programs.

        Data processing systems.--The program provides automated data
    processing support and operational services for the Census Bureau. The
    program's major components are: continuing efforts to migrate to an
    open, expandable, cost-effective processing environment before the 2000
    Decennial census; planning for automated systems support for the
    Economic censuses and Decennial census; providing support for the new
    computer center in Bowie, Maryland; and modernizing Census Bureau
    computer workstations, local area networks, telecommunication systems,
    and other systems.

        Bureau of Economic Analysis.--The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
    assembles thousands of economic data series--ranging from construction
    spending to retail sales--and combines them into a consistent measure of
    total economic activity called Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. BEA
    prepares, develops, and interprets sets of economic accounts that
    include--in addition to GDP--national income and wealth accounts, state
    and regional income and product accounts, and international trade and
    balance of payments accounts.
            National economic accounts.--GDP and other measures in the
        national accounts--income and wealth accounts, input-output
        accounts, and GDP by industry accounts--provide information on such
        key issues as economic growth, investment and saving rates, consumer
        spending, income shares, and growth in personal income.
            International economic accounts.--The international trade and
        balance of payments accounts provide a comprehensive, detailed view
        of economic transactions between the United States and foreign
        countries. Work on international investment consists of the
        preparation, development, and analysis of estimates of U.S. direct
        investment abroad and foreign direct investment in the United
        States.
            Regional economic accounts.--Regional economic measurement
        consists of the preparation, development and analysis of gross State
        product and of total and per capita personal income by region,
        State, metropolitan area, and county.
            Analysis and dissemination of data on economic trends.--This
        work consists of the analysis of BEA data on the economic situation,
        the publication of the Survey of Current Business  and other BEA
        publications, the electronic dissemination of data, and the
        provision of customer information services.

        Policy support.--This program utilizes the statistics produced by
    BEA and the Bureau of the Census to assess economic developments, such
    as structural changes to U.S. economic activity, and to assist
    Departmental officials in meeting their policy responsibilities.

        Implement BEA's Mid-Decade Strategic Plan.--BEA's focus for FY 1997
    is implementing the next steps in its Mid-Decade Strategic Plan for
    maintaining and improving GDP and its other economic accounts data. This
    long-term plan is based on a comprehensive review of the economic
    accounts that BEA conducted in 1994 and a draft strategic plan for
    updating the accounts that was presented and refined at a national
    symposium of leading economic data users in March 1995. The plan
    emphasizes updated measures of output and prices; more comprehensive
    measures of investment, saving, and wealth; and improved coverage of
    international trade and finance.

        A computer environment for the year 2000.--BEA has begun an
    ambitious, but critical, program to move to an integrated micro-computer
    network environment in FY 1997, when it expects to retire its 1970's
    vintage mainframe computer. BEA's Strategic Information Technology Plan,
    which is based on a benchmarking of BEA's existing system, brings
    together BEA's customer service, Mid-Decade Strategic Review, and re-
    engineering efforts. The integrated environment will increase the
    accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of BEA's data through standardized
    data transfer and on-line interactive editing and processing of source
    data. In addition, the new environment will increase the timeliness of
    BEA's data products and accessibility for its customers through Internet
    and other electronic gateways.

        Reimbursable.--ESA provides economic and statistical data and
    analyses on a reimbursable and advance payment basis to other Federal
    agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such information. Funds
    received for these services cover the cost of performing this work.

        The activities of the International Trade Administration in the
    Department of Commerce are intended to develop the export potential of
    U.S. firms in a manner consistent with national security and foreign and
    economic policy and to promote an improved trade posture for U.S.
    industry. To accomplish this objective, emphasis will be placed on four
    areas of activity.

        Big Emerging Markets (BEMs).--Countries like China, Indonesia, South
    Korea, India, Turkey, South Africa, Poland, Argentina, Brazil, and
    Mexico have been chosen as ``Big Emerging Markets'' because they hold
    the promise of large incremental gains for U.S. exporters. Resources
    will be targeted to the BEMs as opportunities arise for increases in
    exports and export-related jobs.

        Advocacy.--Increased effort will be placed on Advocacy initiatives,
    on behalf of U.S. firms, with foreign governments and private firms. In
    many foreign countries, Advocacy activities are required in order for
    U.S. firms to get an even chance to obtain major contracts.

        U.S. Export Assistance Centers.--Continued emphasis will be placed
    on full implementation of the ``Hub and Spoke'' system of ITA offices
    located throughout the U.S. By targeting important localities, improved
    service will be provided to ITA's business clients.

        Trade Law Enforcement.--The goals of this initiative are to improve
    American competitiveness through administration of U.S. trade laws and
    enforcement of trade agreements that have been negotiated to address
    sector-specific trade distorting practices. The objectives are to
    conduct antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations
    and administrative reviews within statutory time limits and to enhance
    AD/CVD financial analysis capability.

        These four activities are carried out within the four major
    subdivisions of ITA and through a reimbursable program as follows:

        Trade development.--The trade development program assesses the
    competitiveness of various U.S. industries; performs trade and
    investment analyses in support of industry programs and trade policy;
    and conducts export promotion programs directed toward industry sectors.
    Increased emphasis will be placed on the travel and tourism sector
    through the application of resources transferred from the U.S. Travel
    and Tourism Administration.

        International economic policy.--This program develops regional and
    multilateral economic policies; provides marketing services directly and
    through the Foreign Commercial Service which assist U.S. businesses in
    expanding exports; identifies long range trade and investment problems
    and develops remedial strategies. The Department will continue to
    provide policy support to the U.S. Trade Representative on issues
    related to the North American Free Trade Agreement.

        Import Administration.--Import Administration investigates
    antidumping and countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with
    applicable U.S. statutes and administers certain other statutory
    programs relating to imports and foreign trade zones.

        U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service.--The U.S. and Foreign
    Commercial Service counsels U.S. businesses on exporting through offices
    in the United States and overseas countries. The program's goals are to
    increase the number of U.S. firms that export and the number of foreign
    markets to which they export; to provide export market information; to
    promote and facilitate participation of U.S. firms in trade shows; and
    to encourage and sponsor additional involvement by private, State and
    local organizations. Using resources transferred from the U.S. Travel

        The activities of the Bureau of Export Administration are designed
    to enforce U.S. export trade laws consistent with national security,
    foreign policy, and short supply objectives. The program strives to
    achieve a balance between the interests of U.S. exporters, the U.S.
    economy and U.S. national security requirements.

        Management and policy coordination.--The management and policy
    coordination program controls the development, analysis, coordination,
    and consolidation of policy initiatives and responses within the Bureau
    of Export Administration.

        Export administration.--The export administration program assures
    that export activity is consistent with national security and foreign
    policy requirements. An increase is requested to administer and enforce
    the complex inspection and reporting requirements imposed on commercial
    chemical manufacturing facilities under the Chemical Weapons Convention
    (CWC). A decrease is requested due to the liberalization of export
    controls and BXA's reduced licensing volume.

        Export enforcement.--The export enforcement program detects and
    prevents the illegal distribution of controlled U.S. goods and technical
    data in violation of the export administration provisions of the U.S.
    Code. Responsibilities also include enforcement of prohibitions against
    participating in unsanctioned boycotts against countries friendly to the
    United States. An increase is requested to restaff the Office of Export
    Enforcement's eight field offices to restore their 1990 level. An
    increase is requested to enable BXA to carry out the enforcement
    provisions of the ``Fastener Quality Act'' which prohibits manufacturers
    and importers from selling fasteners that do not meet certain standards.

        The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) has the lead role in
    the Federal Government of coordinating all minority business development
    programs. The mission of the Agency is build and expand minority owned
    businesses which is critical to the national economy. The agency was
    created to promote private and public sector investment in the
    development of competitive minority-owned businesses in this country.

        Minority Business Development.--This activity provides a variety of
    direct and indirect business services through public/private
    partnerships. MBDA coordinates and leverages resources; expands domestic
    and international market opportunities, collects and disseminates vital
    business information and provides management and technical assistance.

        In 1995, MBDA began and is now completing a series of supply and
    demand studies throughout the country which are being used to identify
    minority business needs by locality.

        In 1996, a variety of delivery mechanisms including MBDCs will be
    used to deliver services. The number of Minority Business Opportunity
    Committees (MBOCs) will be expanded to promote and support their
    mobilization of public private resources. MBDA will also introduce the
    Community Based Enhanced Services (CBES) concept which is designed to
    enhance rather than compete with existing services in local communities.
    CBES will provide higher quality, more sophisticated services similar to
    the one-stop Business Resource Center operating in Baltimore, MD with
    MBDA, NationsBank, AT&T and SBA. Other program components such as
    capital formation, construction, franchising, international trade,
    advocacy, information management and dissemination may be delivered as a
    single service or through the CBES approach.

        Finally, this activity provides for advocacy efforts, research and
    on-line information systems using interactive information dissemination
    for service delivery and for reducing information barriers to improve
    the participation rate of minority-owned businesses in the U.S. economy.

        In 1997, MBDA requests an increase for capital formation activities
    to improve minorities access to both debt and equity capital and to
    establish interactive business development services.

                                        ====================================

        National Ocean Service.--These programs provide scientific,
    technical, and management expertise to (1) promote safe and efficient
    marine and air navigation; (2) assess the health of coastal and marine
    resources; (3) monitor and predict the coastal ocean and global
    environments; and (4) protect and manage the Nation's coastal resources.
    An increase is proposed to fund ecosystem management and environmental
    monitoring activities associated with an interagency restoration
    initiative in the Everglades and South Florida.

        National Marine Fisheries Service.--These programs provide for the
    management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources and
    their environment, including marine mammals and endangered species.
    Through conservation and wise use, these resources can be managed to
    benefit the Nation on a sustained basis. An increase is proposed to
    provide accurate and timely analysis on the biological, ecological,
    economic and social aspects of the Nation's use and conservation of its
    living marine resources. This increase will support the NOAA Strategic
    Plan goals to build sustainable fisheries, recover protected species and
    promote healthy coastal ecosystems.

        Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.--These programs provide:
    the understanding and technique development necessary to improve NOAA
    services (weather warnings and forecasts, solar-terrestrial services,
    climate predictions, and marine services); and the understanding of
    environmental systems necessary for national policy formulation (e.g.,
    long term climate change, acid rain and ozone issues) and the enhanced
    use of ocean resources (e.g., fisheries, and water quality). An increase
    is proposed to improve measurements and research on climate and air
    quality, and to enhance atmospheric prediction and observation
    technologies. Funding to support Presidential initiatives is also
    proposed for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the
    Environment program, the Climate and Global Change program, and the High
    Performance Computing and Communications programs.

        National Weather Service.--These programs provide timely and
    accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings,
    forecasts, and planning information to ensure the safety of the
    population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic
    efficiency of the Nation. A net increase is requested to continue the
    modernization of the weather services through procurement and
    installation of advanced observing

    [[Page 274]]
    and processing systems and the NWS operational transition necessary to
    assimilate the new technologies and the associated work force
    restructuring for future operations.

        National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service.--
    These programs provide for the: acquisition and operation of
    environmental polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites; and for the
    collection and archiving of global environmental data and information;
    and services for distribution to users in commerce, industry,
    agriculture, science and engineering, the general public and Federal,
    State and local agencies. A net increase is proposed to maintain
    acquisition schedules, as well as the current number of primary
    satellite generated products and for continued satellite operations
    including the Department of Commerce's participation in the tri-agency
    converged polar satellite program and procurement of four additional
    satellites in the current geostationary series.

        Program Support.--These programs provide for overall NOAA
    management, NOAA's share of the Regional Administrative Support Centers,
    and the operation and logistical support of ships, marine centers, and
    aircraft to support NOAA missions. In 1996, the Administration will
    propose legislation abolishing the NOAA Corps as a uniformed service and
    authorizing the current Officers to be converted to civilian service. An
    increase is requested to address chronic shortfalls in Central
    Administrative Support funding.

        Foreign Fishing Observer Fund.--This fund is financed through
    collections from foreign vessel owners who fish within the U.S.
    Exclusive Economic Zone. Collections to the fund are used by the
    Secretary of Commerce to pay the salaries of observers and program
    support personnel and the costs of data management and analysis of the
    observer program. The observers collect scientific information on the
    foreign catch and monitor compliance with provisions of the Magnuson
    Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) of 1976 as amended.

    grants program for fisheries research and development projects and a
    National Fisheries Research and Development Program to be carried out
    with Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) funds. These funds are used to enhance
    the productivity and improve the sustainable yield of domestic marine
    fisheries resources.

        Fisheries Promotional Fund.--The Fish and Seafood Promotion Act of
    1986 (Title II of Public Law 99-659) provided for the establishment of
    the National Seafood Promotional Council and the Fisheries Promotional
    Fund to carry out the provisions of the Act. The National Council was
    terminated on December 31, 1991. Reauthorization is not proposed and any
    activity will be limited to the administration of unobligated balances
    and contract monitoring from previous years' appropriations.

        Fishing Vessel and Gear Damage Compensation Fund.--This program
    compensates U.S. fishermen whose vessels and/or commercially uninsurable
    fishing gear have been lost, damaged or destroyed by foreign or domestic
    vessels in the Exclusive Economic Zone. The Fund is supported by a
    surcharge imposed upon foreign fishing permit fees for access to the
    Exclusive Economic Zone and is operated through the appropriation of
    existing balances from prior year surcharges and interest earned. This
    fund was established in 1980.

    commercial fishermen for damages to or loss of fishing gear, including
    loss of profits, related to oil and gas exploration, development, and
    production on the Outer Continental Shelf. The fund is supported by
    assessments to holders of leases, permits, easements, and rights of way
    in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. The fund was established in
    1978.

        The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 stipulated that sums recovered from
    awards or settlements for natural resource damages to NOAA trust
    resources shall be retained in a revolving trust account to permit NOAA
    to carry out (1) oil and hazardous materials contingency planning and
    response, (2) natural resource damage assessment, and (3) restoration or
    replacement of injured or lost natural resources. For a comprehensive
    description of the Prince William Sound Restoration Program, refer to
    the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Natural Resource Damage Assessment
    account. The 1996 and 1997 estimates of budget authority transferred
    from other accounts are preliminary and subject to change. NOAA will
    utilize funds transferred to this account to respond to hazardous
    materials spills in the coastal and marine environments, by conducting
    damage assessments, providing scientific support during litigation, and
    using recovered damages to restore injured resources.

        Prior to the enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
    1990, a portion of Office operating costs were recovered through user
    fee revenues. This Act directed a significant increase in user fees to
    the point where the Office is now fully fee funded. Legislation to
    reauthorize PTO programs in 1997 will be proposed.

        Fees in 1996 are estimated to be $643.146 million of which $28.676
    million will be held in reserve in the Patent Surcharge Fund and
    $716.723 million in fees are estimated to be collected in 1997.

        An Information Technology Plan provides for the automation of the
    majority of the functions and operations of the Office in the 1990's.
    The 1997 funds provide for the continued implementation of the Automated
    Patent and the Automated Trademark Systems. Automation resources are
    distributed

    [[Page 282]]
    among Patent Process, Trademark Process, and Information Dissemination
    and Technology budget activities.

        Patent process.--This activity includes all functions in the patent
    examination pipeline. It provides for the pre-examination processing of
    patent applications, including applications filed under the Patent
    Cooperation Treaty, examination of applications to determine inventor
    entitlements to a patent for the claimed invention, post-examination
    processing including patent printing and quasi-judicial review in appeal
    and interference proceedings. In addition to these duties, the
    classification, documentation and search systems, and the maintenance of
    a scientific and technical library are integral parts of application
    processing.

        The 1997 increases support (1) rising workloads in pre-examination,
    Patent Cooperation Treaty, examination, and post-examination processing,
    as well as Pre-Grant Publication functions; (2) a major and ongoing
    reengineering of the entire patent process, enhanced legal training,
    further improvements to an advanced hardware-software biotechnology
    sequence search system, and the continuation of a complete revision of
    the patent classification program; (3) the Patent Application Locating
    and Monitoring system enhancements and system upgrade activities, to
    support increasing search requirements by customers, to develop and
    implement electronic capability for publishing patent applications, and
    then build upon this developmental process for Patent Application
    Management system implementation.

        Key patent application workload and performance data (excluding
    design patent applications) are:

                                                     1994 actual 1995 actual  1996 est.   1997 est.

        \1\ Performance measures have been updated to reflect current estimates.

        Trademark process.--This activity provides for the examination of
    applications to determine whether the statutory criteria for the Federal
    registration of the trademark or service mark have been met. When the
    criteria are met, a registration is printed and issued to the applicant.
    Examination also includes inter partes proceedings involving
    oppositions, cancellations, and interferences.

        The 1997 funding allows for pendency efforts in trademark
    examination and anticipates a continued increase in the receipt of
    applications. The PTO plans to improve the performance of the current
    Trademark search system by expanding the systems ability to support a
    greater number of concurrent users; the PTO plans to develop a
    transition plan from the Trademark Application Management system to
    Trademark Information System.

        Key trademark application workload and performance data are:

                                                     1994 actual 1995 actual  1996 est.   1997 est.

        \1\ Performance measure has been updated to reflect current
    estimate.

        Information dissemination and technology.--Materials and services
    which assist in the examination of patent and trademark applications and
    in the transfer of technological information are provided in this
    activity and include maintenance of the public search rooms; copies of
    patents, trademark registrations, and official documents; assignment of
    patent and trademark rights.

        The 1997 increases provide funds for a process which will make it
    possible to publish patent applications eighteen months after the
    effective filing date and to align resources to meet the increased
    volumes of work in the Patent and Trademark Search Rooms. The 1997 funds
    provide general infrastructure support for the PTO computer rooms and
    operations, network facilities, communications equipment and system
    software in the information technology evolution whereby PTO's
    environment permits some electronic transactions.

        Executive direction and administration.--Management and
    administration of the Office functions are supported in this activity.
    Funds in 1996 will provide for the executive leadership of the Office;
    for the provision of legal services, including litigation and the
    registration of patent attorneys and agents; for the development and
    implementation of intellectual property policies and proposals in the
    U.S. and abroad; and for the provision of administrative, personnel,
    financial, and planning services throughout the Office.

        The Technology Administration (TA) is the focal point for civilian
    technology and competitiveness issues within the Administration. TA is
    the only agency within the Federal Government with the sole mission to
    work in partnership with the private sector to improve U.S. industrial
    competitiveness and to exercise leadership as the private sector's
    advocate.

        The Under Secretary for Technology oversees three agencies within
    TA: the Office of Technology Policy (OTP), The National Institute of
    Standards and Technology, and the National Technical Information
    Service.

        The Under Secretary and OTP are responsible for articulating,
    communicating and demonstrating that technology development, deployment
    and commercialization are inextricably linked to new jobs, new markets
    and economic growth, and that the Government must be a positive force in
    the equation.

        The Under Secretary fulfills this role by chairing the high-level
    coordinating committee overseeing the Partnership for a New Generation
    of Vehicles Initiative (PNGV), a unique, Government-wide, ten-year
    partnership between the Federal Government and the big three automakers.
    This partnership seeks to develop technologies for a next generation
    vehicle with dramatically increased fuel efficiency and significantly
    reduced emissions.

        The Under Secretary also chairs the Civilian Industrial Technology
    Committee (CIT) within the President's National Science and Technology
    Council. The CIT pursues industry defined and led activities relating to
    research and development in the areas of materials, construction and
    building, manufacturing infrastructure, electronics and automotive
    technologies.

        The Under Secretary leads the Administration's efforts to follow up
    on recommendations made by the State Federal Task Force. The focus of
    this effort will be to improve coordination of state and Federal
    manufacturing extension efforts, as well as coordinate other Government-
    wide efforts.

        OTP administers the National Medal of Technology, a Presidential
    award program that celebrates America's spirit of innovation and
    recognizes excellence in technological innovation and commercialization.
    Winners have made significant contributions to American competitiveness,
    job creation, economic prosperity and a higher standard of living.

        In addition, in international policy, the Asian Technology Program
    works to increase industry access to foreign science and technology as
    well as negotiating international science and technology agreements. OTP
    will continue to represent the U.S. position on the Investment and
    Industrial Science and Technology Working Group of the Asian Pacific
    Economic Cooperation as well as continuing to monitor and negotiate
    Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the U.S. Government's
    international science and technology agreements. OTP provides
    substantial technical support and expertise to the U.S. in negotiations
    on IPR.

        OTP works in cooperation with its customers--business and industry--
    to promote technology development and commercialization by hosting
    roundtables and conferences to determine best practices, evaluate the
    effectiveness of Government-industry partnerships, and by incorporating
    the results of this research into Federal policy recommendations and
    annual reports to Congress.

        The Office of Space Commerce provides advice and counsel for
    promoting economic conditions that foster commercial space development
    and provides assistance in coordinating the Department's activities
    related to the commercial space industry, ecouraging private sector
    investment in space.

        The National Telecommunications and Information Administration
    (NTIA) is the principal executive branch adviser to the President on
    domestic and international communications policy. Additionally, it
    manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and
    performs extensive research in telecommunications sciences.

        Domestic and international policies.--
            Domestic policies.--In 1997, NTIA will continue to develop and
        advocate policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications
        services and markets. NTIA will also participate in relevant
        Congressional action, interagency and FCC proceedings to advocate
        greater competition in service markets in order to provide lower
        prices and better services to consumers. NTIA will focus on
        developing events in the domestic common carrier industry, including
        formulation of policies to preserve and advance universal telephone
        service and to protect the privacy interests of users.
            International policies.--In 1997, NTIA will continue to develop
        and advocate policies for the advancement of U.S. interests in the
        international telecommunications regulatory and policy areas. NTIA
        will place particular emphasis on the U.S. preparatory process for
        the ITU's 1998 Plenipotentiary Conference. NTIA will continue its
        advocacy of U.S. interests in other international and regional fora
        affecting telecommunications standards, infrastructure development
        and market access. NTIA also will represent execu

    [[Page 289]]
        tive branch concerns related to international telecommunications
        regulation before the FCC. In coordination with the Department of
        State and the FCC, the agency will continue to discharge statutory
        responsibilities for oversight of the Communications Satellite
        Corporation (COMSAT) in its role as U.S. Signatory to INTELSAT and
        INMARSAT as these two organizations consider options for
        restructuring.

        Spectrum Management.--
            Spectrum plans and policies.--In 1997, NTIA will continue to
        manage and resolve problems associated with the government's
        spectrum. In coordination with the FCC, NTIA will conduct long-range
        strategic and federal private sector planning; prepare for,
        participate in, and implement results of regional, national, and
        international conferences on spectrum use and allocation; and
        identify solutions to deficiencies in the emergency communications
        planning process in support of the National Communication System
        (NCS). NTIA will maintain the openness program that allows the
        private sector to obtain information on the Federal Government's
        spectrum use, comment on spectrum sharing issues, and provide
        information on innovative radio communications developments.
            Spectrum management, analysis and operations.--In 1997, NTIA
        will continue to authorize frequency assignments, review and certify
        spectrum for proposed Federal radio communications systems, conduct
        frequency band studies, and operate automated data facilities to
        support these operations. NTIA will continue designing an automated
        Federal spectrum management system to improve the process of
        authorizing Federal frequency usage.

        Telecommunication Sciences Research.--
            Spectrum research and analysis.--In 1997, NTIA will resolve
        certain frequency management problems by measuring environmental
        radio signals. The agency will study and characterize the
        propagation of radio waves in outdoor, man-made environments for
        personal communications services (PCS); and study/characterize the
        transmission channel for within-building, wireless local area
        networks.
            Systems and networks research and analysis.--In 1997, NTIA will
        prepare and coordinate proposed domestic and international
        telecommunications standards, develop and demonstrate user-friendly
        ways to access the performance of industry and Government
        telecommunications networks, evaluate future technologies that may
        facilitate competition in the U.S. telecommunications industry,
        promote international trade opportunities for U.S.
        telecommunications firms and improve the cost effectiveness of
        Government telecommunications use.

        The public broadcasting facilities program awards grants to
    noncommercial entities for the planning and construction

    [[Page 290]]
    of broadcasting facilities throughout the U.S. and its territories. PBFP
    has three major responsibilities: (1) to extend public broadcasting
    services to as much of the population as possible; (2) to improve the
    facilities at public broadcasting stations; (3) to increase public
    broadcasting services and facilities available to, operated by, and
    owned by minorities and women.

        The National Endowment for Children's Educational Television
    (NECET), a grant program established by Title II of the Children's
    Television Act of 1990, awards grants to support the creation and
    production of television programming specifically directed toward the
    development of ``fundamental intellectual skills'' in children. In doing
    this, the Endowment's efforts are intended to supplement the children's
    educational programming funded by other government entities and the
    private sector. Administration of the NECET is to be overseen by a ten-
    member Advisory Council on Children's Educational Television, appointed
    by the Secretary.

        The Information Infrastructure Grants program (Telecommunications
    and Information Infrastructure Assistance Program) will facilitate the
    development of the national telecommunications and information
    infrastructure by promoting the widespread availability of advanced
    telecommunications technologies to enhance the delivery of social
    services, such as education and health care; and support the formation
    of a nationwide, multimedia, high-speed, interactive infrastructure of
    varied information technologies. The program will provide clear and
    visible demonstrations to Americans at the local level of the advantages
    that can accrue in their daily lives as a result of having access to a
    modern, interactive information infrastructure.

    except where otherwise provided under existing law, or under existing
    Executive order issued pursuant to existing law.

        Sec. 602. If any provision of this Act or the application of such
