Legislation will be proposed that would extend the Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and the NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance
(NAFTA-TAA) programs for five years. In addition, the proposed
legislation would extend eligibility for TAA to those who lose their
jobs due to shifts in production abroad, similar to the provision under
NAFTA-TAA for shifts in production to Canada and Mexico. The legislated
cap on TAA training expenditures would be raised to support the expected
increase in program participants. The requirements linking training and
income support would be made more consistent across the two programs.
Finally, the proposed legislation would create a contingency funding
provision to assure that resources are available to pay for any
unexpected increase in benefit costs for eligible workers.

[[Page 638]]

Unemployment compensation.--State administration amounts provide
administrative grants to State agencies which pay unemployment
compensation to eligible workers and collect State unemployment taxes
from employers. These agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former
Federal personnel as well as trade adjustment assistance to eligible
individuals. State administration amounts also provide administrative
grants to State agencies to improve the integrity and financial
stability of the unemployment compensation program through a
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.
Legislation will be proposed to provide additional administrative
resources for the States to operate their UI programs, as described in
the proposal for the Unemployment Trust Fund account.

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.

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 proposal would be implemented in fiscal
year 2000. 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.
Upon enactment of the authorization, appropriations language will be
used to make the fees available for alien labor certification program
operations.

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

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

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 1999 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 Federal
employees compensation account in the Unemployment Trust Fund 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.

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.

Legislation will be proposed that would enhance the Unemployment
Insurance (UI) safety net to assure the availability of benefits in the
event of a recession, make the program more accessible to unemployed
workers, and improve State administrative operations. Proposed
legislation would change the trigger for the standby Extended Benefits
program to make it more responsive to rising State unemployment.
Proposed legislation would also encourage States to improve the solvency
of their unemployment trust funds and their ability to pay benefits in a
recession. Legislation will seek additional administrative resources for
the States to operate their UI programs, improving service delivery and
improving access to UI benefits for low-wage workers.

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 43,000 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.

Government trusteeships at end of
year................................ 2,420 2,580 2,730
Participants in government
trusteeships owed benefits.......... 465,000 515,000 565,000
Retirees receiving monthly benefits. 205,800 227,900 250,100

Multiemployer program.--The multiemployer insurance program protects
about 8.8 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. Twenty-four plans are expected to be receiving assistance in
1999.

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. Funding includes
enhancement in customer services to process final benefit determinations
faster.

Plans terminated during the year:
With sufficient assets............ 3,060 3,000 3,000
Without sufficient assets......... 165 150 150
Regulations issued.................. 10 10 10

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

The Administration will propose legislation to expand pension
coverage, improve benefit portability, and strengthen retirement
security. Included in the package will be: a new, simplified defined-
benefit pension plan for small businesses, which are only about half as
likely as larger companies to offer worker pensions; raising the current
guarantee cap on multiemployer pension benefits; and extending PBGC's
``missing participants'' program to defined-contribution plans and to
certain defined-benefit plans, such as multiemployer plans.

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
1999 approximately 265,000 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. In Government contract compliance
actions, about 24,000 persons will be aided through securing agreements
to pay wages owed to workers. Under the Migrant and Seasonal
Agricultural Worker Protection Act program, approximately 2,500
investigations and 1,000 housing inspections will be completed. In the
course of all on-site investigations, investigators will routinely check
for employer compliance with child labor standards and the employment
eligibility verification recordkeeping requirements of the Immigration
and Nationality Act. The Electronic Service Contract Act Notification
System, which will enable contracting agencies to request and receive
wage determination data, will become operational in FY 1998. Resources
will be earmarked for Davis-Bacon wage survey/wage determination
reengineering and reinvention in FY 1999. The Budget maintains 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 Veter

[[Page 646]]

ans 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 1999, approximately
2,300,000 individuals will be directly aided through 5,000 compliance
reviews, 425 complaint investigations, and 5,040 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 ensure 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 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 1999 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 Reporting and Disclosure Act;
and administers the statutory program to certify employee protection
provisions under various Federally-sponsored transportation programs. In
FY 1999, OLMS expects to process 36,000 reports and conduct a total of
4,031 investigations, audits, and supervised elections.

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 1999,
175,000 injured federal workers or their survivors will file claims;
54,500 will receive long-term wage replacement benefits for job-related
injuries, diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs of this account are

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

[[Page 648]]

basis by the Commission is in conjunction with the transfer of the
administration of the FECA program from the Commission to the Department
of Labor effective January 1, 1989.

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

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

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

Safety and Health Standards.--The safety and health standards
activity provides for the development, promulgation, review and
evaluation of occupational safety and health standards under procedures
providing opportunity for public comment. Before any standard is
proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a significant
risk of serious injury or health impairment exists; (2) the standard
will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and
technologically 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.--This activity provides specialized technical
expertise and advice in support of a wide range of program areas,
including construction, standards setting, variance determinations,
compliance assistance, and enforcement. Areas of expertise include
laboratory accreditation, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, occupational
health nursing, occupational medicine, and safety engineering.

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

[[Page 651]]

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

Enforcement.--The Enforcement strategy in 1999 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- 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.
