    Unemployment compensation.--State administration amounts provide 
administrative grants to State agencies which pay unemployment 
compensation to eligible workers and collect State unemployment taxes 
from employers. These agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former 
Federal personnel as well as trade adjustment assistance to eligible 
individuals. State administration amounts also provide administrative 
grants to State agencies to improve the integrity and financial 
stability of the unemployment compensation program through a quality 
control program and related activities designed to assess and reduce 
errors and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in the payment of 
unemployment compensation benefits and the collection of unemployment 
taxes. National activities relating to the Federal-State unemployment 
insurance programs are conducted through contracts or agreements with 
the State agencies. Contingency funds are available only to meet 
increases in the costs of administration resulting from changes in State 
law, or increases in the number of claims filed and claims paid.

employment service activities are financed by allotment to States 
distributed under a demographically based funding formula established 
under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended. Employment service allotments 
are funded on a program year basis running from July 1 through June 30 
of the following year.

    Employment service activities serving national needs, including 
interstate job listings and labor certification of aliens, are conducted 
through specific reimbursable agreements between the States and the 
Federal Government under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended. Funding is 
also provided for amortization payments for States which had independent 
retirement plans prior to 1980 in their State employment service 
agencies.

    One-Stop Career Centers.--These funds will be used to support 
voluntary State efforts to create a comprehensive system of One-Stop 
Career Centers which will provide workers and employers with quick and 
easy access to a wide array of enhanced career development and labor 
market information services. Funding for this activity is on a program 
year basis, running from July 1 through June 30 of the following year.

trigger. These funds are transferred to a receipt account in the 
Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) in order that resources may be transferred 
to the Employment Security Administration Account in the UTF for

    This account provides advances to several other accounts to pay 
unemployment compensation to eligible individuals under various Federal 
and State unemployment compensation laws whenever the balances in the 
funds prove insufficient or whenever reimbursements to certain accounts, 
as allowed by law, are to be made. Advances made to the Extended 
unemployment compensation account under the financing provisions of the 
Emergency Unemployment Act of 1991 and section 5 of Public Law 103-6, 
the Federal employees compensation account in the Unemployment Trust 
Fund and to the Federal unemployment benefits and allowances account are 
nonrepayable. All other advances made to the Federal unemployment 
account and to the Extended unemployment compensation account (both in 
the Unemployment Trust Fund) are repaid, with interest, to the general 
fund of the Treasury.

    This account also provides repayable advances to the Black Lung 
Disability Trust Fund for making payments from that fund whenever its 
balances prove insufficient.

    The financial transactions of the Federal-State and railroad 
unemployment insurance systems are made through the Unemployment Trust 
Fund. All State and Federal unemployment tax receipts are deposited in 
the trust fund and invested in Government securities until needed for 
benefit payments or administrative costs. States may receive repayable 
advances from the fund when their balances in the fund are insufficient 
to pay benefits. The fund may receive repayable advances from the 
general fund when it has insufficient balances to make advances to 
States or to pay the Federal share of extended benefits.

    State payroll taxes pay for all regular State benefits. During 
periods of high State unemployment, extended benefits, financed one-half 
by State payroll taxes and one-half by the Federal unemployment payroll 
tax, are also paid. The Federal tax pays the costs of Federal and State 
administration of unemployment insurance and veterans employment 
services and 97% of the costs of the employment service.

    The Federal employees compensation account provides funds to States 
for unemployment compensation benefits paid to eligible former Federal 
civilian personnel, Postal Service employees, and ex-servicemembers. 
Benefits paid are reimbursed to the Federal employees compensation 
account by the various Federal agencies. Any additional resources 
necessary to assure that the account can make the required payments to 
States will be provided from the Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund 
and other funds account.

    Both the benefit payments and administrative expenses of the 
separate unemployment insurance program for railroad employees are paid 
from the unemployment trust fund and receipts from the tax on railroad 
payrolls are deposited in the fund to meet expenses.

    This wholly owned government corporation administers programs of 
mandatory insurance to prevent loss of pension benefits under covered 
private, defined-benefit pension plans if single-employer plans 
terminate or if multiemployer plans are unable to pay benefits. 
Terminated plans are taken over by the Corporation. The Corporation 
assumes control of their assets, administers them in a trust fund held 
in a private bank, and takes responsibility for paying benefits. The 
Corporation also provides repayable assistance to insolvent 
multiemployer plans when necessary to pay benefits and to forestall 
termination and subsequent Corporation responsibility to pay benefits.

Plans terminated during year:        1995 actual  1996 est.   1997 est.

    Administrative expenses subject to limitation.--Provides resource 
management, executive direction, and other support functions.

    Services related to terminations.--Provides for needed but 
unpredictable costs related to benefits administration services, 
actuarial services, investment management and a share of other 
administrative costs arising from pension plan terminations.

    Benefit payments.--Checks are issued when due to pay plan 
participants and other beneficiaries in plans which have terminated.

Payees in Government trusteeships 
receiving monthly benefits from the 
Corporation.........................     182,300     197,100     211,800

    Financial assistance.--If multiemployer-sponsored plans become 
insolvent, the Corporation gives repayable loans to enable the plans to 
continue paying benefits. Financial assistance to an insolvent plan is 
made only after the plan takes a series of prescribed steps to place the 
plan on a sound financial basis.

    Financing.--The primary source of financing is annual premiums paid 
by sponsors of ongoing covered plans, which vary according to the plans' 
funding level. Other sources of financing include assets from terminated 
plans, investment income, and amounts due the Corporation from the 
sponsors of terminating plans. Also, the Corporation is authorized to 
borrow up to $100 million from the U.S. Treasury.

    Operating results.--The following tables show the status of the 
Corporation's trust funds and the Corporation's operating results.

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

    Note.--Includes $29 million in budget authority in FY 1997 for 
Labor-Management Standards, 13(c) enforcement and related administrative 
functions transferred from the Office of the American Workplace.

    Enforcement of wage and hour standards.--The Wage and Hour Division 
works to obtain and encourage compliance with the minimum wage, 
overtime, child labor, and other employment standards under the Fair 
Labor Standards Act, Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection 
Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, certain provisions of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act, the wage garnishment provisions in 
title III of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, the Employee Polygraph 
Protection Act, and the whistleblower provisions of several 
environmental protection statutes. Prevailing wages are determined and 
employment standards enforced under various Government contract wage 
standards. In 1997 approximately 281,300 persons are expected to be 
aided under the Fair Labor Standards Act through securing agreements 
with firms to pay back wages owed to their workers. Through the special 
minimum wage program, an estimated 200,000 persons will be aided by 
certificates issued and employment authorized. In Government contract 
compliance actions, about 29,500 persons will be aided through securing 
agreements to pay wages owed to workers. Under the Migrant and Seasonal 
Agricultural Worker Protection Act program, approximately 2,600 
investigations and 1,100 housing inspections will be completed. In the 
course of all on-site investigations, investigators will routinely check 
for employer compliance with the employment eligibility verification 
recordkeeping requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The 
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)-based Electronic Service Contract Act 
Notification System, which will enable contracting agencies to request 
and receive wage determination data, will become operational in 1997. 
The Budget includes resources for the Wage and Hour Division which will 
be assigned to areas where employment of illegal immigrants is most 
prevalent. The targeting of labor standards enforcement efforts in those 
industries and geographic areas where unauthorized workers are most 
prevalent will help to reduce the economic incentive for such illegal 
employment practices and will, in turn, reduce illegal immigration.

    Federal contractor EEO standards enforcement.--The Office of Federal 
Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is responsible for ensuring 
nondiscrimination in employment based on race, sex, religion, color and 
national origin by Federal contractors and subcontractors. It conducts 
compliance activities to assure that Federal contractors and 
subcontractors take affirmative action in the hiring and advancement of 
minorities and women under the authority of Executive Orders 11246 and 
11375. It also enforces the affirmative action and nondiscrimination 
provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and, in coordination with 
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Americans With 
Disabilities Act of 1990, relating to the hiring, promotion, and all 
other terms and conditions of employment for individuals with physical 
and mental disabilities. It ensures contractors comply with the 
provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act 
providing for affirmative action by Federal contractors to employ, and 
advance in employment disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era. 
In 1997 about 4,400 compliance reviews and 900 complaint investigations 
will be conducted. A total of about 4,100 other compliance actions will 
also be conducted with respect to contractor employment practices.

    Federal programs for workers' compensation.--Under this income 
maintenance activity, the Employment Standards Administration 
administers the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, the Longshore and 
Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, and the benefit provisions of the 
Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. These programs insure that 
eligible disabled and injured workers or their survivors receive 
compensation and medical benefits and a range of services including 
rehabilitation, supervision of medical care, and technical and advisory 
counseling to which they are entitled. Monitoring and advisory services 
are provided with respect to State workers' compensation laws.

    Program direction and support.--This activity includes planning, 
personnel management, financial management, and Federal/State liaison 
programs, management systems implementation, and data processing 
operations. Major goals in 1997 will include implementing financial 
management initiatives; continued efforts to eliminate internal fraud, 
waste, and mismanagement; the improvement of management information, 
automated data processing, and program and fiscal accountability; and 
legislative and regulatory improvements.

    Labor-management standards.--Collects and discloses union 
constitutions and financial reports. Audits union financial records and 
investigates possible embezzlements of union funds. Conducts election 
investigations and reruns of union officer elections after court 
determinations that elections were not conducted in accordance with the 
Labor Management Relations Disclosure Act. Administers statutory program 
to certify employee protection provisions of various Federally-sponsored 
transportation programs.

    Federal Employees' Compensation Act Benefits.--Under the Federal 
Employees' Compensation Act program, income is replaced if a job injury 
results in time away from work. Medical bills arising from compensable 
job injuries are also paid. Not all benefits are paid by the program 
since the first 45 days of disability are usually covered by keeping 
injured workers in pay status with their employing agencies. In 1997, 
180,000 injured federal workers or their survivors will file claims; 
59,000 will receive long-term wage replacement benefits for job-related 
injuries, diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs of this account are 
charged back to the employing agencies of beneficiaries.

Government pays from direct appropriations one-half of the increased 
benefits provided by the amendments for persons on the rolls prior to 
1972. The remainder is provided from the special fund which is financed 
by private employers assessed at the beginning of each calendar year for 
their proportionate share of these payments.

    Panama Canal Commission Compensation Fund.--This fund has been 
established to provide for the accumulation of funds to meet the Panama 
Canal Commission's obligations to defray costs of workers' compensation 
which will accrue pursuant to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act 
(FECA). On December 31, 1999, the Commission will be dissolved as set 
forth in the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, and the liability of the 
Commission for payments beyond that date will not end with its 
termination. The establishment of this fund, into which funds will be 
deposited on a regular basis by the Commission is in conjunction with 
the transfer of the administration of the FECA program from the 
Commission to the Department of Labor effective January 1, 1989.

    The trust fund consists of all moneys collected from the coal mine 
industry under the provisions of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 
1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 
of 1985, in the form of an excise tax on mined coal. These moneys are 
expended to pay compensation, medical, and survivor benefits to eligible 
miners and their survivors, where mine employment terminated prior to 
1970 or where no mine operator can be assigned liability. In addition 
the fund pays all administrative costs incurred in the operation of part 
C of the black lung program. The fund is administered jointly by the 
Secretaries of Labor, the Treasury, and Health and Human Services. The 
Benefits Revenue Act provides for repayable advances to the fund in the 
event fund resources will not be adequate to meet program obligations. 
Such advances are to be repaid with interest. The outstanding debt at 
the end of each year was: 1981, $1,510 million; 1982, $1,793 million; 
1983, $2,151 million; 1984, $2,497 million; 1985, $2,833 million; 1986,

    The trust funds consist of amounts received from employers for the 
death of an employee where no person is entitled to compensation for 
such death, for fines and penalty payments, and pursuant to an annual 
assessment of the industry, for the general expenses of the fund under 
the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended.

    These trust funds are available for payments of additional 
compensation for second injuries. When a second injury is combined with 
a previous disability and results in increased permanent partial 
disability, permanent total disability, or death, the employer's 
liability for benefits is limited to a specified period of compensation 
payments after which the fund provides continuing compensation benefits. 
In addition, the fund pays one-half of the increased benefits provided 
under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended, 
for persons on the rolls prior to 1972. Maintenance payments are made to 
disabled employees undergoing vocational rehabilitation to enable them 
to return to remunerative occupations, and the costs of necessary 
rehabilitation services not otherwise available to disabled workers are 
defrayed. Payments are made in cases where other circumstances preclude 
payment by an employer and to provide medical, surgical, and other 
treatment in disability cases where there has been a default by the 
insolvency of an uninsured employer.

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

    Safety and Health Standards.--The safety and health standards 
activity provides for the development, promulgation, review and 
evaluation of occupational safety and health standards under procedures 
providing opportunity for public comment. Before any standard is 
proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a significant 
risk of serious injury or health impairment exists; (2) the standard 
will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and 
technologically sound; and (4) the standard is cost-effective when 
compared with alternative regulatory proposals providing equal levels of 
protection. OSHA's reform efforts in the standards-setting area involve 
identifying clear priorities, focusing on key building block rules, 
eliminating and simplifying outdated standards, and emphasizing 
business-labor partnerships.

    Enforcement.--This activity provides for the enforcement of 
workplace standards promulgated under the Occupational Safety and Health 
Act of 1970 through the physical inspection of worksites, and by 
fostering the voluntary cooperation of employers and employees. This 
activity also provides grants to assist States in administering and 
enforcing State standards. Programs are targeted to the investigation of 
claims of imminent danger and employee complaints, investigation of 
fatal and catastrophic accidents, programmed inspections of firms with 
injury-illness rates that are above the national average, and special 
emphasis inspections for serious safety and health hazards. OSHA's 
enforcement strategy includes a selective targeting of inspections and 
related compliance activities to specific high hazard industries. OSHA's 
enforce

[[Page 687]]
ment program is undergoing major reforms by offering employers a choice 
between a partnership and a traditional enforcement relationship.

    Technical support.--Technical assistance is provided on all aspects 
of standards setting, variances, compliance assistance, and enforcement 
programs. Laboratory support is provided to compliance officers. 
Comprehensive scientific and technical information services are made 
available. The economic and environmental impacts of proposed standards 
are analyzed.

    Compliance Assistance.--This activity supports a variety of employer 
and employee assistance programs, consistent with OSHA's partnership 
initiatives. Under cooperative agreements, State agencies provide free 
onsite consultation to employers upon request. Grants are awarded to 
nonprofit organizations to provide employee and employer training 
programs, targeted to address specific industry needs for safety and 
health education. Employers are encouraged to establish voluntary 
employee protection programs, and Federal agencies are assisted in 
implementing job safety and health programs for their employees. 
Professional training for compliance personnel and others with related 
workplace safety and health responsibilities is conducted at the OSHA 
Training Institute. Staff resources dedicated to providing compliance 
assistance in the field have been transferred from the Federal 
Enforcement activity to Compliance Assistance, to identify more clearly 
the nature of agency activities.

    Statistics.--Management information and statistical support for 
OSHA's programs and field operations are provided through an integrated 
data network, and statistical analysis and review. OSHA administers and 
maintains the recordkeeping system which serves as the foundation for 
the BLS survey on occupational injuries and illnesses, provides guidance 
and recordkeeping requirements to both the public and private sectors, 
and develops regulations along with interpretive publications and 
materials.

    Executive direction and administration.--These activities include 
executive direction, planning and evaluation, management support, 
legislative liaison, interagency affairs, administrative services, and 
budgeting and financial control.

    Enforcement.--The Enforcement strategy in 1997 will be an integrated 
approach that links all actions to preventing occupational injuries and 
illness. These include inspection of mines as mandated by the Federal 
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, special emphasis initiatives that 
focus on persistent safety and health hazards, promulgation of safety 
and health standards, investigation of serious accidents, and on-site 
education and training assistance. The desired outcome of these 
enforcement efforts is to at least maintain or lower fatality and injury 
rates.

    Assessments.--This activity assesses and collects civil monetary 
penalties for violations of safety and health standards.

    Educational policy and development.--This activity develops and 
coordinates MSHA's mine safety and health education and training 
policies, and provides classroom instruction at the National Academy for 
MSHA personnel, other governmental personnel, and the mining industry. 
States provide mine health and safety training materials, and provide 
technical assistance through the State Grants program.

    Technical support.--This activity applies engineering and scientific 
expertise through field and laboratory forensic investigations to 
resolve technical problems associated with implementation of the Mine 
Act. Technical support administers a fee program to approve equipment, 
materials, and explosives for use in mines and performs field and 
laboratory audits of equipment previously approved by MSHA. It also 
collects and analyzes data relative to the cause, frequency, and 
circumstances of accidents.

    Program administration.--This activity provides for general 
administrative functions.

                          Working Capital Fund

    The language under this heading in Public Law 85-67, as amended, is 
further amended by adding the following before the last period: ``: 
Provided further, That within the Working Capital Fund, there is 
established an Investment in Reinvention Fund (IRF), which shall be 
available to invest in projects of the Department designed to produce 
measurable improvements in agency efficiency and significant taxpayer 
savings. To provide initial capital, there is appropriated to the IRF 
$3,900,000 in fiscal year 1997, to remain available until expended, to 
make loans to agencies of the Department for projects designed to 
enhance productivity and generate cost savings. Such loans will be 
repaid to the IRF no later than September 30 of the fiscal year 
following the fiscal year in which the project is completed. Such 
repayments shall be deposited in the IRF, to be available without 
further appropriation action.''.
    Note.--A regular 1996 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time this budget was prepared. The 1996 amounts included 
in this budget are based on the levels provided in three continuing 
resolutions: P.L. 104-91, P.L. 104-92, and P.L. 104-99.

    Sec. 501. No part of the funds appropriated under this Act shall be 
used to provide a loan, guarantee of a loan, a grant, the salary of or 
any remuneration whatever to any individual applying for admission,

    Sec. 502. The Secretaries of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
Education are authorized to transfer unexpended balances of prior 
appropriations to accounts corresponding to current appropriations 
provided in this Act: Provided, That such transferred balances are used 
for the same purpose, and for the same periods of time, for which they 
were originally appropriated.
    Sec. 503. No part of any appropriation contained in this Act shall 
remain available for obligation beyond the current fiscal year unless 
expressly so provided herein.
    Sec. 504. (a) No part of any appropriation contained in this Act 
shall be used, other than for normal and recognized executive-
legislative relationships, for publicity or propaganda purposes, for the 
preparation, distribution, or use of any kit, pamphlet, booklet, 
publication, radio, television, or film presentation designed to support 
or defeat legislation pending before the Congress, except in 
presentation to the Congress itself.
    (b) No part of any appropriation contained in this Act shall be used 
to pay the salary or expenses of any grant or contract recipient, or 
agent acting for such recipient, related to any activity designed to 
influence legislation or appropriations pending before the Congress.
    Sec. 505. The Secretaries of Labor and Education are each authorized

    Sec. 506. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no funds 
appropriated under this Act shall be used to carry out any program of 
distributing sterile needles for the hypodermic injection of any illegal 
drug unless the Surgeon General of the United States determines that

encourage the use of illegal drugs, except that such funds may be used 
for such purposes in furtherance of demonstrations or studies authorized 
in the ADAMHA Reorganization Act (Public Law 102-321).
    Sec. 507. (a) Purchase of American-Made Equipment and Products.--It 
is the sense of the Congress that, to the greatest extent practicable, 
all equipment and products purchased with funds made available in this 
Act should be American-made.

title II of this Act shall not be subject to the 3 percent limitation of 
this section.
    \1\ Although a full-year 1996 Labor/HHS/Education appropriations 
bill has not been enacted, certain provisions affecting HHS were enacted 
in law as a part of various continuing resolutions. Section 128 of P.L. 
104-99 pertains to the use of Federal funds for embryo research. The 
Administration proposes to delete this provision and does not support 
addressing this issue in legislation.
    The continuing resolution funding the Department of Health and Human 
Services through March 15, 1996, applies the terms and conditions of the 
FY 1995 appropriations bill to the Medicaid program, including a 
provision restricting funding for abortions. As with its FY 1996 Budget, 
the Administration proposes to delete this provision and will work with 
the Congress to address this issue.
