    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

    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 
and Tourism Administration, promotion of travel and tourism from foreign 
countries to the United States will be strengthened in five countries.

    Reimbursable program.--This account includes receipts for services 
rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts received on a cost 
recovery basis from private entities for trade events and export 
information services.

    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.

    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.

    Fishermen's Contingency Fund.--This program provides compensation to 
commercial fishermen for damages to or loss of fishing gear, including

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

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:

    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:

    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.
