State to meet agreed upon outcomes and implement other appropriate 
measures to ensure accountability: Provided further, That the Secretary 
of Labor shall establish a workforce flexibility (work-flex) partnership 
demonstration program under which the Secretary shall authorize not more

regulatory requirement applicable to service delivery areas or substate 
areas within the State under titles I-III of the Job Training 
Partnership Act (except for requirements relating to wage and labor 
standards, grievance procedures and judicial review, nondiscrimination, 
allotment of funds, and eligibility), and any of the statutory or 
regulatory requirements of sections 8-10 of the Wagner-Peyser Act 
(except for requirements relating to the provision of services to 
unemployment insurance claimants and veterans, and to universal access 
to basic labor exchange services without cost to job seekers), for a 
duration not to exceed the waiver period authorized under section 311(e)

    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.

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

[[Page 713]]

and to the Federal unemployment benefits and allowances account are 
nonrepayable. All other advances made to the Federal unemployment 
account and to the Extended unemployment compensation account (both in 
the Unemployment Trust Fund) are repaid, with interest, to the general 
fund of the Treasury.

    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 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.

                                     1996 actual  1997 est.   1998 est.
Government trusteeships at end of 
year................................       2,248       2,448       2,618
Participants in government 
trusteeships owed benefits..........     441,000     481,000     521,000
Retirees receiving monthly benefits.     199,700     218,000     236,000

    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.

    Administrative expenses subject to limitation.--Provides for 
collection of over $1 billion in premiums, accounting and auditing 
services, asset management, executive direction, and other support 
functions.

    Services related to terminations.--This activity provides for 
needed, but unpredictable, costs related to benefits administration, 
actuarial services, managing the assets of trusteed plans, and a share 
of other costs arising from plan termination.

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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 
the Special Fund. Implementation of this accounting adjustment requires an 
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.

    Longshore and harbor workers' compensation benefits.--Under the

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

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

    The trust fund consists of all moneys collected from the coal mine 
industry under the provisions of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 
1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 
of 1985, in the form of an excise tax on mined coal. These moneys are 
expended to pay compensation, medical, and survivor benefits to eligible 
miners and their survivors, where mine employment terminated prior to 
1970 or where no mine operator can be assigned liability. In addition 
the fund pays all administrative costs incurred in the operation of part 
C of the black lung program. The fund is administered jointly by the 
Secretaries of Labor, the Treasury, and Health and Human Services. The 
Benefits Revenue Act provides for repayable advances to the fund in the 
event fund resources will not be adequate to meet program obligations. 
Such advances are to be repaid with interest. The outstanding debt at 
the end of each year was: 1981, $1,510 million; 1982, $1,793 million; 
1983, $2,151 million; 1984, $2,497 million; 1985, $2,833 million; 1986, 
$2,884 million; 1987, $2,952 million; 1988, $2,993 million; 1989, $3,049

    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.
