====================================
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.--The public employment service is a nationwide
system providing no-fee employment services to individuals who are
seeking employment and employers who are seeking workers. State
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.

This account was initiated as a result of the amendments to the
Emergency Unemployment Compensation law (P.L. 102-164, as amended) which
currently provides for general fund financing for administrative costs
related to extended benefits under the optional, total unemployment rate

Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) in order that resources may be transferred
to the Employment Security Administration Account in the UTF for
administrative costs.

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.

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.

====================================
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.

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.

(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.

FY 1995 appropriations bill to the Medicaid program, including a
provision restricting funding for abortions. As with its FY 1996 Budget,

the Congress to address this issue.
