    State to meet agreed upon outcomes and implement other appropriate

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

    from contingency funds.

        Employment service.--The public employment service is a nationwide
    system providing no-fee employment services to individuals who are
    seeking employment and employers who are seeking workers. State
    employment service activities are financed by allotment to States
    distributed under a demographically based funding formula established
    under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended. Employment service allotments
    are funded on a program year basis running from July 1 through June 30
    of the following year.

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

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

        Legislation will be proposed that would authorize the Department of
    Labor to collect fees from employers for the certification of certain
    aliens as eligible workers. This is one of several proposals in the
    budget to charge fees to users directly availing themselves of, or
    subject to, a government service, program, or activity, in order to
    cover the government's costs. Legislation will be proposed to authorize
    the alien labor certification fees and, upon enactment of the
    authorization, a budget amendment to the current appropriations language
    will be proposed to make the fees available for expenditure for alien
    labor certification program operations. Because the current requirements
    of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 make it difficult to fund
    discretionary programs with receipts that are not authorized in
    appropriations act, the Administration is proposing a change in the
    requirements to facilitate the enactment of proposals such as this one.

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

        This account provides repayable advances to the Black Lung
    Disability Trust Fund for making payments from that fund whenever its
    balances prove insufficient. The funding requested in this appropriation
    for FY 1998 is entirely for Black Lung. This spending authority is
    presented as authority to borrow in the Black Lung Disability Trust
    Fund.

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

    account and to the Extended unemployment compensation account (both in
    the Unemployment Trust Fund) are repaid, with interest, to the general
    fund of the Treasury.

        Legislation will be proposed that would authorize the Department of
    Labor to collect fees from employers for the certification of certain

    budget to charge fees to users directly availing themselves of, or
    subject to, a government service, program, or activity, in order to
    cover the government's costs. Legislation will be proposed to authorize
    the alien labor certification fees and, upon enactment of the
    authorization, a budget amendment to the current appropriations language
    will be proposed to make the fees available for expenditure for alien
    labor certification program operations. Because the current requirements
    of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 make it difficult to fund
    discretionary programs with receipts that are not authorized in
    appropriations acts, the Administration is proposing a change in the
    requirements to facilitate the enactment of proposals such as this one.

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

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

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

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

        This wholly owned government corporation administers programs of
    mandatory insurance to prevent loss of pension benefits under covered
    private, defined-benefit pension plans if single-employer plans
    terminate or if multiemployer plans are unable to pay benefits.

        Single-employer program.--The single-employer program protects about
    33 million participants in about 48,000 pension plans. Under this
    program a company may voluntarily seek to terminate its plan, or the
    PBGC may seek termination under certain circumstances. The PBGC must
    seek termination when a plan cannot pay current benefits.

        In a ``standard'' termination, plan assets must be sufficient to pay
    all benefits before the plan is allowed to end. That payment is in the
    form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, or a lump sum
    payment. After the payment is made, the PBGC guarantee ends. A plan that
    cannot pay all benefits may be ended by a ``distress'' termination, but
    only if the employer meets tests proving severe financial distress; for
    example, the likelihood that continuing the plan would force the company
    to shut down. If the terminated plan cannot pay at least the PBGC-
    guaranteed benefits, the PBGC uses its funds to ensure guaranteed
    benefits are paid.

        Multiemployer program.--The multiemployer insurance program protects
    about 8.7 million participants in about 2,000 plans. Multiemployer
    pension plans are maintained under collectively bargained agreements
    involving unrelated employers, generally in the same industry. If a
    PBGC-insured multiemployer plan is unable to pay guaranteed benefits
    when due, the PBGC will provide the plan with financial assistance to
    continue paying guaranteed benefits, ordinarily in the form of a loan to
    the plan. Nineteen plans are expected to be receiving assistance in
    1998.

    sponsors of terminating plans. Also, the Corporation is authorized to

        Enforcement of wage and hour standards.--The Wage and Hour Division
    works to obtain and encourage compliance with the minimum wage,
    overtime, child labor, and other employment standards under the Fair
    Labor Standards Act, Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection
    Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, certain provisions of the
    Immigration and Nationality Act, the wage garnishment provisions in
    title III of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, and the Employee
    Polygraph Protection Act. Prevailing wages are determined and employment
    standards enforced under various Government contract wage standards. In
    1998 approximately 281,300 persons are expected to be aided under the
    Fair Labor Standards Act through securing agreements with firms to pay
    back wages owed to their workers. Through the special minimum wage
    program, an estimated 200,000 persons will be aided by certificates
    issued and employment authorized. In Government contract compliance
    actions, about 29,500 persons will be aided through securing agreements
    to pay wages owed to workers. Under the Migrant and Seasonal
    Agricultural Worker Protection Act program, approximately 2,600
    investigations and 1,700 housing inspections will be completed. In the
    course of all on-site investigations, investigators will routinely check
    for employer compliance with the employment eligibility verification
    recordkeeping requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The
    Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)-based Electronic Service Contract Act
    Notification System, which will enable contracting agencies to request
    and receive wage determination data, became operational in 1997. The
    Budget includes resources for the Wage and Hour Division which will be
    assigned to areas where employment of illegal immigrants is most
    prevalent. The targeting of labor standards enforcement efforts in those
    industries and geographic areas where unauthorized workers are most
    prevalent will help to reduce the economic incentive for such illegal
    employment practices and will, in turn, reduce illegal immigration.

        Federal contractor EEO standards enforcement.--The Office of Federal
    Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is responsible for ensuring
    nondiscrimination in employment based on race, sex, religion, color,
    national origin, disability or veteran status by Federal contractors and
    subcontractors at 90,000 supply and service establishments and 150,000
    construction sites with a total workforce of 22 million people. It
    conducts compliance reviews and complaint investigations. It assures
    that Federal contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action in
    the hiring and advancement of minorities and women under the authority
    of Executive Orders 11246 and 11375. It enforces the affirmative action
    and nondiscrimination provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and,
    as an agent of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the
    Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. It ensures that contractors
    comply with the provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment
    Assistance Act of 1974 providing for affirmative action by Federal
    contractors to employ, and advance in employment, special disabled and
    Vietnam era veterans.

        The Budget includes resources for a tiered-review process, which
    will significantly reduce the paperwork burden on federal contractors
    and increase coverage of the contractor universe; compliance assistance
    to ensure that federal contractors are fully aware of their equal
    employment opportunity responsibilities; increased vigilance in
    preventing discrimination based on national origin through coordination
    with the Department of Justice; and the review of federal contractor's
    compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act. In 1998, approximately
    2,760,000 individuals will be directly aided

    [[Page 720]]

    through 6,000 compliance reviews, 900 complaint investigations, and
    4,100 other compliance actions.

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

        Program direction and support.--This activity includes planning,
    personnel management, financial management, and Federal/State liaison
    programs, management systems implementation, and data processing
    operations. Major goals in 1998 will include implementing financial
    management initiatives; continued efforts to eliminate internal fraud,
    waste, and mismanagement; the improvement of management information,
    automated data processing, and program and fiscal accountability; and
    legislative and regulatory improvements.

        Labor-management standards.--The Office of Labor-Management
    Standards (OLMS) collects and discloses union financial reports; audits
    union financial records and investigates possible embezzlements of union
    funds; conducts election investigations and reruns of union officer
    elections after court determinations that elections were not conducted
    in accordance with the Labor Management Relations Disclosure Act; and
    administers the statutory program to certify employee protection
    provisions of various Federally-sponsored transportation programs. In FY
    1998, OLMS expects to process 36,000 reports and conduct a total of
    3,566 investigations, audits, and supervised elections.

        Note:--In FY 1996, presentation of accrued liabilities was initiated in

    overstatement of the FY 1996 obligations compared with FY 1995 and all prior
    fiscal years.

        Federal Employees' Compensation Act Benefits.--Under the Federal
    Employees' Compensation Act program, income is replaced if a job injury
    results in time away from work. Medical bills arising from compensable
    job injuries are also paid. Not all benefits are paid by the program
    since the first 45 days of disability are usually covered by keeping
    injured workers in pay status with their employing agencies. In 1998,
    175,000 injured federal workers or their survivors will file claims;
    57,500 will receive long-term wage replacement benefits for job-related
    injuries, diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs of this account are
    charged back to the employing agencies of beneficiaries.

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

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

        The trust fund consists of all moneys collected from the coal mine
    industry under the provisions of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of
    1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
    of 1985, in the form of an excise tax on mined coal. These moneys are
    expended to pay compensation, medical, and survivor benefits to eligible
    miners and their survivors, where mine employment terminated prior to
    1970 or where no mine operator can be assigned liability. In addition
    the fund pays all administrative costs incurred in the operation of part
    C of the black lung program. The fund is administered jointly by the

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

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

        Safety and Health Standards.--The safety and health standards
    activity provides for the development, promulgation, review and
    evaluation of occupational safety and health standards under procedures
    providing opportunity for public comment. Before any standard is
    proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a significant
    risk of serious injury or health impairment exists; (2) the standard
    will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and
    technologically feasible; and (4) the standard is cost-effective when
    compared with alternative regulatory proposals providing equal levels of
    protection. Regulatory reform efforts include consensus-based
    rulemaking, development of common sense regulations, rewriting existing
    standards in plain language, and regulatory process improvements.

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

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

        Compliance Assistance--Federal.--This activity supports a variety of
    employer and employee assistance programs, consistent with OSHA's
    partnership initiatives. Outreach activities are conducted, including
    training and information exchanges and technical assistance to employers
    requesting such help. Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations to
    provide employee and employer training programs, targeted to address
    specific industry needs for safety and health education. Employers are
    encouraged to establish voluntary employee protection programs, and
    Federal agencies are assisted in implementing job safety and health
    programs for their employees. Professional training for compliance
    personnel and others with related workplace safety and health
    responsibilities is conducted at the OSHA Training Institute, and
    further training is provided by education centers selected and
    sanctioned by the institute.

        Compliance Assistance--State.--This activity supports 90 percent
    Federally-funded cooperative agreements with designated State agencies
    to provide free on-site consultation to employers upon request. State
    agencies tailor workplans to specific needs in each State while
    maximizing their impact on injury and illness rates in smaller
    establishments. These projects offer a variety of services, including
    safety and health program assessment and assistance, hazard
    identification and control, and training of employers and their
    employees.

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

    [[Page 725]]

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

        Enforcement.--The Enforcement strategy in 1998 will be an integrated
    approach that links all actions to preventing occupational injuries and
    illness. These include inspection of mines as mandated by the Federal
    Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, special emphasis initiatives that
    focus on persistent safety and health hazards, promulgation of safety
    and health standards, investigation of serious accidents, and on-site
    education and training assistance. The desired outcome of these
    enforcement efforts is to at least maintain or lower fatality and injury
    rates.

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

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

        Technical support.--This activity applies engineering and scientific
    expertise through field and laboratory forensic investigations to
    resolve technical problems associated with imple-

    [[Page 726]]

    mentation of the Mine Act. Technical support administers a fee program
    to approve equipment, materials, and explosives for use in mines and
    performs field and laboratory audits of equipment previously approved by
    MSHA. It also collects and analyzes data relative to the cause,
    frequency, and circumstances of accidents.

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