        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 1998,
    EDA will continue to encourage development that maximizes the
    utilization of the Nation's manpower and capital, protects the
    environment, and alleviates the adverse impact caused by technological
    changes, structural decline, economic dislocation, and natural
    disasters.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    [[Page 265]]

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

        Trade adjustment assistance.--Provides technical assistance, through
    a national network of 12 Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers, to
    certified U.S. manufacturing firms and industries economically injured
    as the result of international trade competition.

        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.
            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.
            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 1998 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.
            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.
            Survey of Program Dynamics.--The Personal Responsibility and
        Work Opportunity Act of 1996 required that the Survey of Income and
        Program Participation be expanded to evaluate the impact of welfare
        reforms made by this Act. The Survey of Program Dynamics will
        collect data necessary to determine the impact of these provisions.
        $10 million per year for 7 years (1996-2002) was made available for
        this study.

        Reimbursable program.--The Bureau of the Census undertakes work for
    specific individuals, groups or organizations,

    [[Page 267]]

    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, 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. 1998 is the
        fourth year in the six year cycle of the 1997 Economic Census. Being
        the data collection and processing year, it is the most important
        and resource-intensive year in the cycle. Major activities will
        include: mailing five million report forms, follow-up activities for
        the late respondents, and data collection and management.
            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.
        1998 is the fourth year and most important, resource-intensive year
        in the five-year cycle of the 1997 Census of governments. The focus
        for 1998 is the collection and processing of data on state and local
        governments.

        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.--1998 is the fourth 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 1998 decennial program covers a broad range of activities, such
        as a full scale dress rehearsal, addressing list development,
        conducting tests and planning for the data collection and processing
        facets of the Census. These and other activities help ensure that
        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

    [[Page 268]]

    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 Bureau will continue developing and testing the program
    in 1998.

        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). CASIC is
    the Bureau's program to transform the Bureau's business processes--the
    collection, processing, and dissemination of information. Making the
    greatest possible use of automation and telecommunications, CASIC seeks
    to provide the tools and systems to deliver to our customers accurate
    information, quickly and efficiently, with as little burden as possible
    on those who provide the data to us.

        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.--This activity provides for the purchasing
    or renting of hardware and software needed for the Bureau's general
    purpose computing facilities. In 1998, data processing systems will
    continue to provide automated systems support for the 1997 Economic
    Censuses and the 2000 Decennial Census.

    statistical picture available of U.S. economic activity. It prepares,
    develops, and interprets the national, international, and regional
    economic accounts of the United States. These accounts provide key
    information on economic growth, regional development, and the Nation's
    position in the world economy.

        BEA's statistics are used in formulating and evaluating national
    economic policy; in Federal budget planning and formulation; and in the
    allocation formulae for over $90 billion in Federal funds annually. They
    are used by state and local governments for a variety of planning and
    analytical activities. Because they can have a major impact on interest
    rates, exchange rates, and cost-of-living adjustments, they are also of
    vital interest to businesses for market analysis and decisionmaking and
    to households for financial planning.

        To prepare the accounts, BEA assembles thousands of monthly,
    quarterly, and annual economic data series--ranging from construction
    spending to retail sales--produced largely by other government agencies
    and trade sources, and combines them into consistent and comprehensive
    sets of accounts.
            National economic accounts.--The national accounts are a system
        of economic accounts that detail the relationship between production
        and the incomes generated in production and trace the principal
        economic flows among the major sectors and industries of the
        economy. They are best known by the summary measure gross domestic
        product (GDP). In addition, they provide information on the U.S.
        capital stock by type and industry; GDP-by-industry; and through the
        input-output accounts, information on how industries interact--
        providing inputs to, and taking outputs from, each other to produce
        GDP. The national accounts statistics are the mainstay of
        macroeconomic analysis.
            International economic accounts.--The international transactions
        accounts are a system of economic accounts that provide information
        on international transactions in goods, services, investment income,
        and government and private financial flows. They are best known by
        summary measures such as the current account balance. In addition,
        the accounts provide information on the U.S. international
        investment position, which measures the value of U.S. international
        assets and liabilities and changes in those values. The
        international transactions accounts and the international investment
        position are critical statistical tools used in formulating and
        evaluating international economic policy. BEA's data on direct
        investment--the most detailed data set on the operations of
        multinational companies available among the major industrialized
        nations of the world--are used to assess the vital role these
        companies play in the global economy.
            Regional economic accounts.--The regional accounts are
        consistent with the national accounts, but provide detail on
        economic activity by region, state, metropolitan area, and county.
        More specifically, they provide data on total and per capita
        personal income by region, state, metropolitan area, and county and
        on gross state product.
            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.
            Policy support.--This program brings together two major
        statistical agencies, BEA and Census, and uses their and other
        statistical information to assess economic developments and to
        assist Commerce and other Executive Branch officials in meeting
        their policy responsibilities.
            In 1998, BEA's focus is on implementing the next steps in its
        Mid-Decade Strategic Plan for maintaining and improving GDP and
        related economic accounts data and on moving from its 1970's vintage
        mainframe computer to an integrated microcomputer network
        environment for the year 2000.
            Next steps in BEA's Mid-Decade Strategic Plan.--BEA plans to
        continue work in all three areas outlined in its Mid-Decade
        Strategic Plan: Improved measures of output and prices to better
        reflect changes in the nature of output and the organization of
        production; better measures of investment, saving, and wealth to
        increase the understanding of the sources of economic growth and the
        returns to, and adequacy of, various types of public and private
        investment; and improved coverage of international trade and finance
        to reflect better the U.S. role in the rapidly changing and
        increasingly integrated world economy.
            Move to a new computer environment for the year 2000.--BEA is in
        the process of moving from its old, inefficient, and unreliable
        mainframe computer to a new, integrated local area network (LAN)
        environment, and plans to release

    [[Page 270]]

        the old mainframe by the end of 1997. In 1998, BEA will focus on re-
        engineering its work processes on the LAN to take full advantage of
        the efficiencies of the new microcomputer environment. The new
        environment and the re-engineering of BEA's data collection,
        processing, estimation, and dissemination systems will increase the
        accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of its data and will improve
        the accessibility of its data to its customers through expanded use
        of the 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.

        Working as a key part of the Government-wide Trade Promotion
    Coordinating Committee, the International Trade Administration (ITA)
    will accomplish this objective by achieving its five major Strategic
    Objectives.

        Strengthen trade advocacy, trade promotion, and the Trade Promotion
    Coordinating Committee (TPCC).--Through the Advocacy Center, which is
    the ``nerve center'' of the TPCC's advocacy network initiative, ITA
    leads the Government-wide effort to develop and to implement interagency
    strategies to help U.S. firms win bids for major projects and commercial
    transactions in foreign markets. In 1998, ITA plans to broaden the
    involvement of TPCC agencies in advocacy activities. ITA also plans to
    continue to focus its programmatic activities and resources on select
    trade promotion functions identified in the TPCC's National Export
    Strategy. The efforts of the TPCC are assisted by the TPCC Secretariat--
    located in the office of the Under Secretary in ITA. The Secretariat is
    responsible for coordinating the implementation and oversight of the
    National Export Strategy.

        Increase trade assistance targeted to small and medium-sized
    businesses.--ITA will continue to provide export assistance to small and
    medium-sized enterprises through a network of domestic and overseas
    field offices.

        More closely align trade objectives with U.S. foreign policy.--Our
    trade and commercial efforts frequently support our foreign policy
    goals. Trade and investment flows can play a significant role in
    facilitating incentives for peace and prospects for sustained economic
    growth and stability. ITA will continue its efforts to provide economic
    incentives to promote these ends.

        Expand trade law enforcement and compliance monitoring.--ITA's
    Import Administration unit impartially enforces U.S. antidumping and
    countervailing duty laws. Our Market Access and Compliance (MAC) unit
    ensures market access, assures full compliance with agreements, and
    identifies priority market access problems, bilaterally or
    multilaterally.

        Continue emphasis on trade with the ``Big Emerging Markets'' without
    losing focus on mature markets.--ITA continues to emphasize field export
    development planning and initiatives in major emerging growth markets.
    In addition, ITA will focus on U.S. companies that are already exporting
    to Western Europe and Canada and assist them in expanding their markets.

        These five major strategic objectives will be accomplished 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 and performs trade and
    investment analyses; works with manufacturing and service industry
    associations and firms to identify and to capitalize on trade
    opportunities and to pinpoint and to overcome obstacles to increased
    U.S. exports; articulates U.S. industries' needs, interests and concerns
    to American negotiators of international trade agreements and assists in
    the preparation and implementation of negotiating strategies; and
    conducts export promotion programs directed toward industry sectors.
    Increased emphasis will be placed on sector-specific initiatives to
    improve market access and to ensure compliance with international trade
    agreements.

        Market Access and Compliance.--The Market Access and Compliance Unit
    (MAC) is the U.S. Government's front-line offensive team working to
    unlock foreign markets for Amer-

    [[Page 272]]

    ican goods and services country-by-country and region-by-region. MAC
    underwent a significant restructuring in 1996, and refocused its goals
    to concentrate on market access issues and the development of strategies
    to overcome market access obstacles faced by U.S. businesses. MAC
    maintains in-depth knowledge of the trade policies of our trading
    partners. It monitors foreign country compliance with numerous
    multilateral and bilateral trade-related agreements, identifying
    compliance problems and other market access obstacles. MAC's specialists
    work with other Government agencies to address barriers rapidly, and to
    ensure that U.S. firms know how to use the market opening agreements. It
    provides information on foreign trade and business practices to U.S.
    firms and works to find opportunities and to develop market strategies
    in traditional markets, the emerging markets and, in particular, those
    identified as the most promising, the Big Emerging Markets. MAC's
    objective is to develop and to update continuously current and long-term
    market access strategies, including developing the information needed to
    conduct trade negotiations to open markets. MAC's specialists work hand-
    in-hand with U.S. business, trade associations and other business
    organizations, Commerce's industry and technical specialists, and the
    U.S. Commercial Services domestic and overseas offices. This unit will
    continue to provide support for the operation of 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.

        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.

    coordination program controls the development, analysis, coordination,
    and consolidation of policy initiatives and responses within the BXA.
    Under BXA's nonproliferation and export control cooperation mission, BXA
    works directly with government leaders in the Newly Independent States
    (NIS) to develop effective controls on their strategic commodities and
    data.

        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). An increase is requested for the administration of a new and
    complex Presidential initiative to encourage the use of strong
    encryption in electronic commerce and private communication while
    protecting the public safety and national security.

        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. The program enforces the Fastener Quality Act and U.S.
    obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention; and implements
    counterterrorism initiatives as they relate to strategic goods.

        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 to build and to 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.
    MBDA also provides support for research, advocacy, and technology to
    reduce information barriers and improve the participation rate of
    minority-owned businesses in the United States.

        In 1996, MBDA used a variety of delivery mechanisms to deliver
    services, including the Community Based Enhanced Services (CBES)
    concept. CBES is a new delivery vehicle that is designed to enhance,
    rather than compete with, services already available in local
    communities. The Business Resource Center in Baltimore, Maryland is an
    example of this approach. MBDA partners in this venture include
    NationsBank, AT&T, and the Small Business Administration.

        Included in 1998 program activities are funds that would allow MBDA
    to continue to test and refine the CBES program. In addition, MBDA will
    continue to utilize the Minority Business Development Centers and the
    Minority Business Opportunity Committees and enhance the Agency's
    performance data collection and measurement system in 1998.

        National Ocean Service.--These programs provide scientific,
    technical, and management expertise to (1) promote safe and efficient
    marine 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 for NOAA's participation in the clean water
    initiative. The proposed funding will support the Community-Right-to-
    Know Project on toxics, Coastal Zone Management matching grants, and
    Coastal Zone Management grants for demonstration projects and technical
    assistance. The Administration proposes to transfer NOAA's Office of
    Aeronautical Charting and Cartography to the Federal Aviation
    Administration (FAA). As a first step, NOAA will operate the program for
    the FAA in 1998 on a reimbursable basis, with the program being
    completely transferred to the FAA in 1999.

        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. Increases are proposed to carry
    out the legislative mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
    Conservation and Management Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the
    Marine Mammal Protection Act. These increases 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. NOAA will continue 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 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. Funds are also
    requested for the Department of Commerce's continued participation in
    the tri-agency converged polar satellite program.

        Program Support.--These programs provide for overall NOAA
    management, NOAA's share of the regional Administrative Support Centers,
    and aircraft to support NOAA missions. In 1997, the Administration will
    propose legislation abolishing the NOAA Corps as a uniformed service and
    authorizing the current Officers to be converted to civilian service.

        Facilities.--This program provides for minor repair and modification
    to existing facilities; facilities planning and design; and
    environmental compliance. In 1996 and 1997, these funds were
    appropriated in the ``Construction'' account for the above purposes,
    construction and acquisition of new facilities, and additions to
    existing facilities. The funds for construction and acquisition of new
    facilities and additions to existing facilities are requested in the
    ``Capital Assets Acquisition'' account for FY 1998 and the outyears.

        Fleet Maintenance and Planning.--This program provides for the
    repair and maintenance of vessels, including related equipment to
    maintain the existing fleet and for the planning of future
    modernization. In 1996 and 1997, these funds were appropriated in the
    ``Fleet Modernization, Shipbuilding and Conversion'' account for the
    above purposes, construction, leasing, or conversion of vessels. When
    funds are required for the construction, leasing, or conversion of
    vessels, they will be requested in the ``Capital Assets Acquisition''
    account.

        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

    [[Page 277]]

    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-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976
    as amended.

        GOES Satellite Contingency Fund.--This fund was established in 1992
    to cover the procurement of gap filler satellites, launch vehicles,
    payments to foreign governments and other related costs for the
    successful completion of the GOES I-M series of spacecraft. All funds
    will be expended by the end of 1997.

        Aircraft Procurement and Modernization.--This fund was established
    in 1994 to cover the procurement of a high altitude research jet
    aircraft. All funds will be expended by the end of 1997.

        The creation of the Capital Assets Acquisition Account responds to
    the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 and
    the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 and represents
    capital projects contained formerly in the ``Operations, Research, and
    Facilities'' account and the ``Construction'' account within the
    National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Placing these
    projects in this account is consistent with the Administration's fixed
    asset policy by seeking advanced appropriations for multi-year projects.
    The Administration supports full funding as part of an ongoing attempt
    to improve cost and performance of agency procurements. The
    Administration's goal is to ensure that capital assets support the core/
    priority mission of the agency; the assets have demonstrated a projected
    return on investment that is clearly articulated; cost-benefits of
    acquisition have been evaluated; and that implementation helps ensure
    accountability.

    mission across all line offices. In particular, projects related to the
    National Weather Service modernization and on-going operations are
    included. Increased funds are proposed for deployment of Advanced
    Weather Interactive Processing System, as well as current and follow-on
    series of geostationary satellites. Funds are also requested for new
    construction of a Fisheries laboratory in Santa Cruz, California, and a
    new facility at the Goddard Space Flight Center.

    from the fund were to be used by the Secretary of Commerce to pay the
    salaries of observers and other programmatic expenses. The observers
    were to collect scientific information on the fishermen's catch and
    monitor compliance with the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
    Conservation and Management Act of 1976, as amended. The fee was
    repealed in 1996 and monies collected were returned.

        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 1997 and 1998 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 1998 will be proposed.

        Fees in 1997 are estimated to be $717 million of which $54 million
    will be held in reserve in the PTO Fee Surcharge Fund. Fees in 1998 are
    estimated to be $748 million of which $92 million will be held in
    reserve.

        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 among the patent, trademark, and information dissemination
    business areas.

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

        The 1998 program level supports pre-examination, Patent Cooperation
    Treaty, examination, and post-examination processing.

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

                                                     1995 actual 1996 actual  1997 est.   1998 est.

        months).....................................        19.2        20.8        22.5        22.8

        Trademark business.--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 1998 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 will continue plans to
    transition to the Trademark Information System.

        Key trademark application workload and performance data are:

                                                     1995 actual 1996 actual  1997 est.   1998 est.

        Information dissemination business.--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. In 1998, information dissemination business will
    depend on reengineering efforts, contractor support, and automation
    initiatives to provide more effective use of resources to meet the
    increasing requirements within base programs.

        Policy.--Legislative, executive, policy, and legal functions of the
    Office are supported in this activity. Funds in 1998 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; and for the development and implementation of intellectual
    property policies and proposals in the U.S. and abroad.

        The Technology Administration (TA) is the focal point for civilian
    technology and competitiveness issues within the Administration. TA is
    the primary 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 the Office of Technology Policy are
    responsible for coordinating a National technology policy. The Under
    Secretary fulfills this role in part by chairing the high-level
    coordinating committee overseeing the Partnership for a New Generation
    of Vehicles Initiative (PNGV), a unique Government-wide, 10-year
    partnership between the Federal Government and the big three automakers.
    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.

        OTP works to promote technology development and commercialization by
    hosting round tables and conferences to determine best practices, by
    evaluating the effectiveness of Government-industry partnerships, and by
    incorporating the results of this research into Federal policy
    recommendations and annual reports to Congress. 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.

        In addition, in international policy, 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. In 1998, TA proposes to establish two new programs with the
    offset coming from the end of the U.S.-Israel Science and Technology
    program. These two initiatives totaling $2,025,000 will support the
    Administration's foreign policy activities around the world as well as
    foster development

    [[Page 285]]

    of the indigenous technology assets of regions around the Nation with
    the establishing of the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive
    Technology (EPSCoT).

        TA also houses the Office of Air and Space Commercialization which
    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 1998, 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. NTIA will also develop and implement policies required to
        safeguard personal privacy on the NII and GII and work with foreign
        governments to prevent disruption to commerce to and from the United
        States.
            International policies.--In 1998, 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 executive 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 1998, 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 1998, 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 1998, 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 1998, 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.

        [Sec. 206. (a) Should legislation be enacted to dismantle or

         (b) The Secretary of Commerce or the appropriate head of any
    successor organization(s) may use any available funds to carry out
    legislation dismantling or reorganizing the Department of Commerce to
    cover the costs of actions relating to the abolishment, reorganization,
    or transfer of functions and any related personnel action, including
    voluntary separation incentives if authorized by such legislation:
    Provided, That the authority to transfer funds between appropriations
    accounts that may be necessary to carry out this section is provided in
    addition to authorities included under section 205 of this Act: Provided
    further, That use of funds to carry out this section shall be treated as

    available for obligation or expenditure except in compliance with the
    procedures set forth in that section.]
        [Sec. 207. Any costs incurred by a Department or agency funded under
    this title resulting from personnel actions taken in response to funding
    reductions included in this title shall be absorbed within the total
    budgetary resources available to such Department or agency: Provided,
    That the authority to transfer funds between appropriations accounts as
    may be necessary to carry out this section is provided in addition to
    authorities included elsewhere in this Act: Provided further, That use
    of funds to carry out this section shall be treated as a reprogramming
    of funds under section 605 of this Act and shall not be available for
    obligation or expenditure except in compliance with the procedure set
    forth in that section.]
        [Sec. 208. None of the funds appropriated under this Act or any
    other Act henceforth may be used to develop new fishery management
    plans, amendments, or regulations which create new individual fishing
    quota programs (whether such quotas are transferable or not) or to
    implement any such plans, amendments or regulations approved by a
    Regional Fishery Management Council or the Secretary after January 4,
    1995, until offsetting fees to pay for the cost of administering such
    plans, amendments, or regulations are expressly authorized under the
    Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et
    seq.). This restriction shall also apply to any program relating to the
    Gulf of Mexico commercial red snapper fishery that authorizes the
    consolidation of licenses, permits or endorsements that result in

        competitive commercial shipyard;
            (2)(A) the closed shipyard has been designated by the President
