====================================

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA), enacted in 1998, replaced the
Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) as the primary authorization for
this appropriation account. The new act revitalizes the Nation's job
training system to provide workers with the information, advice, job
search assistance, and training they need to get and keep good jobs, and
provides employers with skilled workers.

Adult employment and training activities.--Grants to provide
financial assistance to States and territories to design and operate
training programs for adults, including low-income individuals and
public assistance recipients.

Dislocated worker employment and training activities.--Grants to
provide reemployment services and retraining assistance to individuals
dislocated from their employment. Also included in this activity is
funding for competitive grants for dislocated worker employment and
training activities, to be financed through fees paid by employers for
the certification of certain aliens as eligible workers under the
Immigration and Nationality Act.

Youth activities.--WIA replaces the former JTPA Youth Training
Grants and Summer Youth Employment and Training Programs with a single
funding stream to support a wide range of activities and services to
prepare low-income youth for academic and employment success, including
summer jobs. The new youth program links academic and occupational
learning with youth development activities.

Youth opportunity grants.--Grants to increase the long-term
employment of youth who live in empowerment zones, enterprise
communities, and similar high poverty areas. Beginning in FY 2000, this
activity will include funding for the new Rewarding Achievement in Youth
program for competitive grants to high poverty areas to provide low
income youth with extended summer employment opportunities and end-of-
summer bonuses for high academic achievement and job performance.

School-to-work opportunities.--Grants to States and localities,
jointly administered by the Departments of Labor and Education, to build
systems that provide youth with the knowledge and skills necessary to
make an effective transition from school to careers through work-based
learning, school-based education, and connecting activities.

Job Corps.--A system of primarily residential centers offering basic
education, training, work experience, and other support to economically
disadvantaged youth typically.

Native Americans.--Grants to Indian tribes and other Native American
groups to provide training, work experience, and other employment-
related services to Native Americans.

Migrant and seasonal farmworkers.--Grants to public agencies and
nonprofit groups to provide training and other employability development
services to economically disadvantaged youth and families whose
principal livelihood is gained in migratory and other forms of seasonal
farmwork.

Veterans workforce investment programs.--Grants or contracts to
provide disabled, Vietnam-era, and recently separated veterans with
programs to meet their unique employment and training needs.

National programs.--Provides program support for WIA activities and
nationally administered programs for segments of the population that
have special disadvantages in the labor market. Beginning in FY 2000,
this activity will include funding for the new Right Track Partnerships
program of competitive grants to local workforce investment boards to
assist low income out-of-school youth and youth who require addi

[[Page 669]]

tional assistance to complete an educational program. Services may
include tutoring, mentoring, counseling, jobs and job training to
prevent youth from dropping out of school, encourage those who have
already dropped out to return to school, and encourage school
completion. In addition, a new demonstration program of grants to
regional and local entities to provide technical skills training for
unemployed and incumbent workers will be initiated in FY 1999 and
supported by fees paid by employers applying for foreign workers under
the H-1b temporary alien labor certification program. This program is
authorized by the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act
of 1998.

Legislation will be proposed that would authorize the Secretary of
Labor to collect fees from employers for the certification of certain
aliens as eligible workers under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The fee proceeds will offset the costs of administering and enforcing
the alien labor program, and provide reemployment and training
assistance to U.S. workers who have been dislocated from their jobs.

The additional proviso to be included in appropriation language is
being proposed in anticipation of the enactment of authorizing
legislation. If the authorizing legislation is enacted, the proviso will
reduce the amounts available under the Training and Employment Services
heading so that total resources will not exceed the amount allowed under
the discretionary spending caps. The proviso allows agencies to spend
whatever user fees are collected, possibly more or possibly less than
the estimates in the schedule or the specified reduction in Training and
Employment Services expenditures.

Legislation will be proposed that would consolidate and reform the
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and the NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment
Assistance (NAFTA-TAA) programs and extend the combined program for two
and one-quarter years through September 30, 2001. As part of the
consolidation, the proposed legislation would extend eligibility for TAA
to those who lose their jobs due to shifts in production abroad, similar
to the current provision under NAFTA-TAA for shifts in production to
Canada and Mexico. The legislative cap on TAA training expenditures
would be raised to support the expected increase in program
participants. The consolidated program would harmonize existing
requirements linking training and income support and would provide
supportive services as needed. Finally, the proposed legislation would
create a contingency funding provision to assure that resources are
available to pay for any unexpected increase in benefits costs for
eligible workers.

The funds requested in the appropriations language for the Federal
Unemployment Benefits and Allowances account do not cover the extension
of NAFTA-TAA and the legislative reforms. Once the proposed legislation
has been enacted, the Administration will submit modified appropriations
language.

====================================

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

[[Page 673]]

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. Funding is requested to improve the
quality of the unemployment insurance wage records in the National
Directory of New Hires (NDNH). Currently, the Social Security
Administration is unable to verify the validity of many of the social
security numbers in the wage records because it does not have enough
characters in the workers' names to do the match. The recommended
funding would cover the one-time State costs of converting their
computer systems to store longer names. 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. The reemployment needs of unemployed workers who
lose their jobs through no fault of their own and who need extra job
finding help are financed by Reemployment Services grants. These funds
will be distributed to States on a program year basis running from July
1 through June 30 the following year.

Employment service activities serving national needs 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. In this activity, funds are provided for America's
Agricultural Labor Network (AgNet), a new information system that allows
growers to find workers and workers to find employment opportunities
that meet their needs.

In order to streamline and improve the alien labor certification
processes, the Department is consolidating alien labor certification
functions in the Employment Standards Administration's (ESA) Wage and
Hour Division. All alien labor certification resources formerly budgeted
in the Employment and Training Administration are now reflected in ESA's
budget request. The request for FY 2000 reflects this transfer.

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.

Work incentive assistance grants.--These funds will provide
competitive grants to improve access to and coordination of information,
benefits, and services to enable individuals with disabilities to return
to work.

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 2000 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,
encourage States to improve the solvency of their unemployment trust
funds and their ability to pay benefits in a recession, and 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. In addition to, or in conjunction with, this
legislative proposal, and subject to budgetary constraints, the
Administration is committed to working with Congress and other
stakeholders to develop a broader set of reforms of the UI system that
will expand coverage and eligibility for benefits, streamline filing and
reduce tax burden where possible, emphasize reemployment, combat fraud
and abuse, and improve administration.

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 42,000 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................................ 2,607 2,757 2,907
Participants in government
trusteeships owed benefits.......... 473,000 513,000 553,000
Retirees receiving monthly benefits. 209,300 226,000 243,000

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. Twenty-four plans are expected to receive assistance in 2000.

Administrative expenses subject to limitation.--Provides for
collection of nearly $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:

Without sufficient assets......... 160 150 150
Time to replace initial with final
benefit levels...................... 7-8 yrs 7-8 yrs 6-7 yrs

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 PBGC from the sponsors of
terminating plans. Also, PBGC is authorized to borrow up to $100 million
from the U.S. Treasury.

The Administration will propose legislation to expand pension
coverage, improve benefit portability, and strengthen retirement
security. Included in the package will be: (1) a new, simplified,
defined-benefit pension plan for small businesses that is insured by
PBGC at a reduced rate; (2) raising the current guarantee cap on
multiemployer pension benefits; (3) extending PBGC's ``missing
participants'' program to defined-contribution pension plans and to
certain defined-benefit arrangements, such as multiemployer plans; (4)
eliminating the ``partial termination'' rules for multiemployer plans;
(5) reducing premium charges for certain new plans; and (6) simplifying
the guarantee and allocation rules for owners of businesses.

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
2000 approximately 234,000 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 32,000 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, in all
``directed'' (non-complaint) investigations, for compliance with the
employment eligibility verification recordkeeping requirements of the
Immigration and Nationality Act. Resources will be earmarked for Davis-
Bacon wage survey/wage determination reengineering and reinvention in FY
2000. The reengineering efforts will be substantially completed in 2000.
The Budget maintains resources for the Wage and Hour Division which are
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, help reduce illegal immigration.
In addition, the Budget provides resources to streamline and reengineer
the alien labor certification process to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of the program. The reengineered process will reduce the
burden on employers while maintaining strong U.S. worker protections. FY
1999 and 2000 include fees paid by employers applying for foreign
workers under the H1-b program.

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 200,000 worksites 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 to increase compliance by improving
efficiency and customer service in the National Office and in each of
the Regional Offices. The resources will give added impetus to the
technical assistance effort to assist Federal contractors in
understanding the regulatory requirements. Specific emphasis will
continue the assistance to smaller companies that may not have the
expertise to develop Affirmative Action Programs. In addition, OFCCP
will provide for an equal pay initiative which will enhance compliance
efforts in glass ceiling issues as well as focus on discrimination in
nontraditional occupations. This initiative is part of its overall
initiative to increase compliance through enhanced compliance
assistance. Moreover, OFCCP will maintain reduced reporting requirements
for small companies. The staff will provide grassroots seminars and
technical assistance training sessions for contractors, contracting
agencies, government agencies, and constituency groups through continued
development and use of existing information technology. In 2000,
approximately 2,722,000 individuals will be directly aided through 6,539
compliance reviews, 484 complaint investigations, and 3,500 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 com

[[Page 682]]

pensation 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 2000 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; supervises 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 2000, OLMS expects to process 36,000
reports and conduct a total of 3,793 investigations, audits, and
supervised elections.

Legislation will be proposed that would authorize the Secretary of
Labor to collect fees from employers for processing the certification of
certain aliens as eligible workers under the Immigration and Nationality
Act. The fee proceeds will offset the costs of administering and
enforcing the alien labor program, and provide reemployment and training
assistance to U.S. workers who have been dislocated from their jobs.

The additional proviso to be included in appropriation language is
being proposed in anticipation of the enactment of authorizing
legislation. If the authorizing legislation is enacted, the proviso will
reduce the amounts available under the Employment Standards
Administration heading so that total resources will not exceed the
amount allowed under the discretionary spending caps. The proviso allows
agencies to spend whatever user fees are collected, possibly more or
possibly less than the estimates in the schedule or the specified
reduction in the Employment Standards Administration expenditures.

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 2000,
165,000 injured federal workers or their survivors will file claims;
54,000 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.

Panama Canal Commission Compensation Fund.--This fund was
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

[[Page 686]]

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
worksites.

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 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 on recordkeeping requirements
to both the public and private sectors, and develops regulations along
with interpretive publications and materials.

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 2000 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.
