    This appropriation provides for agency-wide audits, inspections, and 
investigative functions to identify and recommend corrections for 
management and administrative deficiencies that create conditions for 
existing or potential instances of fraud, waste, and mismanagement. The 
audit function provides for internal audits and contract audits. 
Contract audits provide professional advice to agency contracting 
officials on accounting and financial matters related to negotiation, 
award, administration, repricing, and settlement of contracts. Internal 
audits review and evaluate all facets of agency operations. Inspections 
services provide detailed technical evaluations of agency operations. 
The investigative function provides for the detection and investigation 
of improper and illegal activities involving programs, personnel, and 
operations.

    Activities under the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) account 
support all three themes of the Commerce Annual Performance Plan: U.S. 
competitiveness in the global marketplace; American competitiveness 
through science and technology and an unrivaled information base; and, 
effective stewardship of our Nation's resources and assets to ensure 
sustainable economic opportunities.

    The OIG concentrates on programs and operations that have the 
greatest potential for identifying fraud, recovering funds, precluding 
unnecessary outlays, and improving management. The OIG identifies the 
audit, inspection, and investigative universe and determines how it will 
focus its work on areas that significantly affect the Department's 
ability to prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement.

    The OIG's Semiannual Report to the Congress provides the following 
Statistical Highlights:

     LValue of questioned costs identified in audit reports.

     LValue of audit recommendations that funds be put to better 
use.

     LValue of audit recommendations agreed to by management.

     LArrests, indictments, convictions, personnel actions, 
administrative actions, and fines, restitutions, judgments, and civil 
and administrative recoveries.

    The Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides grants for 
public works facilities, other financial assistance, and planning and 
coordination assistance needed to alleviate conditions of substantial 
and persistent unemployment and underemployment in economically 
distressed areas and regions. EDA assistance stimulates job creation and 
increases income in distressed communities, promotes greater national 
productivity and balanced economic growth.

    In 2000, EDA will address major community needs based on the 
following initiatives: (1) a reinforced commitment to Community and 
Regional Enhancement, which will serve as a catalyst for assisting 
distressed communities in achieving their long-term competitive economic 
potential through the strategic investment of resources based upon 
locally and regionally developed priorities; (2) a Disaster Mitigation 
and Economic Recovery program to focus specifically on providing long-
term economic recovery assistance to those communities adversely 
affected by major catastrophic disasters; and (3) a broader National 
Program Analysis and Information Consolidation which will provide 
resources to identify new challenges, opportunities and trends in 
economic development and develop a comprehensive information base for 
data.

    EDA responds to community priorities and strives to meet its 
objectives through the use of a broad range of program tools:

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

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

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

    Economic adjustment grants.--Provide a package of assistance tools, 
including planning, technical assistance, revolving loan funds and 
infrastructure development, to help communities counteract either a 
gradual erosion or a sudden dislocation of their local economic 
structure as a result of natural disasters, international trade 
competition, or major plant closings. Provide grants to support 
Brownfields redevelopment.

    Research evaluation grants.--Support studies about the causes of 
economic distress and approaches to alleviating and preventing such 
problems, national demonstrations of innovative economic development 
techniques, and dissemination of economic development information.

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

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

    Performance measures.--All program activities under this account 
support all three themes of the Commerce Strategic Plan, including goals 
on stimulating the creation of private sector jobs, helping distressed 
communities build capacity for economic growth, providing new knowledge 
and technical information to help solve economic development problems, 
helping communities incorporate technology as an economic development 
tool, helping communities recover from defense downsizing and natural 
disasters, and helping communities achieve sustainable economic 
development.

    For investments made in 1998, 1999, and 2000, as in other years, 
outcomes are generated after projects are completed, estimated at three 
years after the appropriation, and businesses are established in the 
project area, estimated at six years after completion. Below are a few 
of the performance measures that EDA is using for its programs with 
projections of performance outcomes expected in or about 2007, 2008 and 
2009, respectively.

    The activities of this appropriation provide for the collection, 
compilation, and publication of a broad range of current economic, 
demographic, and social statistics.

    Current economic statistics.--The business statistics program 
provides current information on sales and related measures of retail and 
wholesale trade and selected service industries.
        Construction statistics reports are provided on significant 
    construction activity such as housing permits and starts, value of 
    new construction, residential alterations and repairs, and quarterly 
    price indexes for new single-family houses.
        Manufacturing statistics survey key industrial commodities and 
    manufacturing activities, providing current statistics on the 
    quantity and value of industrial output.
        General economic statistics provide a Standard Statistical 
    Establishment List (SSEL) of all U.S. business firms and their 
    establishments, uniform classification data based on the North 
    American Industry Classification System (NAICS), annual county 
    business data, and corporate financial data. In addition, the 2000 
    program will maintain the Gross Domestic Product estimate.
        Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly, 
    cumulative, and annual reports on the quantity, shipping weight, and 
    dollar value of imports and exports, by mode of transportation, 
    detailed commodity category, customs districts, and country of 
    origin or destination. This program covers the Census Bureau 
    responsibilities under the Trade Act of 1974.
        Government statistics reports provide information on the 
    revenue, expenditures, indebtedness and debt transactions, financial 
    assets, employment, and payrolls of State and local governments. The 
    Census Bureau provides quarterly information on State and local tax 
    revenue on the national level by type of tax and governmental level, 
    and provides information on financial assistance programs of the 
    Federal government.
        Current demographic statistics.--Household surveys provide 
    information on the number, geographic distribution, and the social 
    and economic characteristics of the population. In addition, the 
    demographic statistics program will continue to improve the poverty 
    measurement.

    The Census Bureau compiles housing statistics on the Nation's 
housing inventory and provides national and regional estimates of 
housing vacancy rates. Population and housing analyses provide current 
demographic reports on the geographic distribution and on the 
demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the population, as 
well as current estimates and future projections of the population of 
the United States, and special analyses of demographic, social and 
economic trends. International statistics provide estimates of 
population, labor force, and economic activity, including spatial 
distribution, and analyses concerning aspects of demographic policies, 
economic policies, and trends for various countries.
        Survey development and data services.--The Statistical Abstract 
    that the Census Bureau prepares annually summarizes Government and 
    private statistics of the industrial, social, political, and 
    economic activities of the United States. The Bureau conducts 
    general research on survey methods and techniques to find ways of 
    improving the efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness of statistical 
    programs. Data systems development provides advanced data capture, 
    data processing, and information retrieval technology to meet Census 
    Bureau program requirements.
        Survey of Program Dynamics.--The Personal Responsibility and 
    Work Opportunity Act of 1996 required that the Survey of Income and 
    Program Participation be expanded to evaluate the impact of welfare 
    reforms made by that Act. The Survey of Program Dynamics will 
    collect data necessary to determine the impact of these provisions. 
    $10 million per year for 7 years (1996-2002) was made available for 
    this study.

    Performance measures.--Activities under the Salaries and Expenses 
account support two strategic themes of the Department of Commerce: 
``Economic Infrastructure'' and ``Science, Technology, and 
Information.'' The goals supported under each theme, respectively, are 
to provide quality data and to provide timely and relevant data.

    A more detailed presentation of the goals, performance measures, and 
targets is found in the Commerce Annual Performance Plan.

    This appropriation funds legislatively mandated economic and 
periodic demographic censuses and other authorized activities.

    Economic statistics programs.--
        Economic censuses.--The economic censuses provide data on 
    manufactures, mining, retail and wholesale trade and service 
    industries, construction, and transportation. The censuses are taken 
    every fifth year, covering calendar years ending in two and seven. 
    2000 is the sixth and last year in the six year cycle of the 1997 
    Economic Census. The Bureau will publish and disseminate data 
    collected and processed the previous two years. 2000 is also the 
    first year in the 2002 Economic Census cycle, and planning for that 
    census will begin.
        Census of governments.--This census collects State and local 
    government data on taxes, tax valuations, governmental receipts, 
    expenditures, indebtedness, and number of employees. This census is 
    taken every fifth year for calendar years ending in two and seven. 
    2000 is the first year in the five-year cycle of the 2002 Census of 
    governments. The focus for 2000 is planning for the census.

    Demographic statistics programs.--
        Intercensal demographic estimates.--This program develops 
    updated population estimates in years between decennial censuses, 
    for States, counties, metropolitan areas and urban places; and, 
    prepares a variety of data to meet diverse legislative needs.
        Decennial census.--2000 is the critical year in which the Bureau 
    will launch Census 2000. Many years of planning and preparation and 
    over a billion dollars have been invested in Census 2000 and will, 
    in 2000, culminate in a sophisticated, highly interdependent and 
    massive mobilization. At the funding level requested, the Bureau 
    will use the sampling methodology to conduct the most accurate 
    census ever.
        In the Spring of 2000, every American household will receive a 
    census questionnaire designed to reduce respondent burden while 
    continuing to capture the vital information needed to formulate 
    national and local policy. After the questionnaires are delivered, 
    the major data collection

[[Page 199]]

    (i.e., enumeration) activities for Census 2000 will occur between 
    April and September. Throughout the data collection phase, there 
    will be a parallel data processing phase where the information will 
    be entered into the computer and checked. Conducting enumeration and 
    data processing activities simultaneously is efficient and effective 
    in that it will identify areas where information is missing or 
    incomplete while the data collection infrastructure is still 
    mobilized and able to contact specific households to collect missing 
    or incomplete information. The enumeration will include the use of 
    well established statistical sampling techniques that will enable 
    the Bureau to conduct the most cost effective and accurate census 
    ever. Once data collection is complete, data processing will 
    continue to assure the accuracy of the census results. Funding is 
    included to collect American Community Survey national sample data 
    for benchmarking against Census 2000 results, which is vital for 
    elimination of the long form from the 2010 Decennial Census. Other 
    2000 activities will include continued implementation of Census 2000 
    public outreach and marketing efforts, collecting data on 
    populations living in nontraditional households, and ensuring that 
    the American public has multiple ways to respond to Census 2000.

    Demographic Surveys Sample Redesign.--This program provides for 
revisions to all of the monthly, quarterly and annual household survey 
samples to conform to the redistribution of population measured in the 
decennial census. This is done to update the accuracy of the ongoing 
surveys.

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

    Geographic support.--The activity's goal is to determine the correct 
location of every business establishment, farm, and residence in the 
U.S. and its territories. The activity's major components include the 
Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) 
data base and the Master Address File (MAF). TIGER provides maps and 
other geographic information; MAF provides residential addresses for the 
Nation. TIGER and MAF are important because they provide essential 
information and products for conducting many of the Bureau's programs.

    Data processing systems.--This activity provides for the purchasing 
or renting of hardware and software needed for the Bureau's general 
purpose computing facilities.

    Performance measures.--Activities under the Periodic Censuses and 
Programs account support two strategic themes of the Department of 
Commerce: ``Economic Infrastructure'' and ``Science, Technology, and 
Information.'' The goals supported under each theme, respectively are to 
provide quality data, and to provide timely and relevant data.

    Below are selected performance goals for the Bureau.

    Bureau of Economic Analysis.--The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), 
a principal Federal statistical agency, provides the most comprehensive 
statistical picture available of

[[Page 201]]

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

    BEA's statistics are used in formulating and evaluating national 
economic policy, in planning and formulating Federal budgets, and in 
allocating over $110 billion in Federal funds annually. They are used by 
State and local governments for a variety of planning and analytical 
activities. Because they can have a major impact on interest rates, 
exchange rates, and cost-of-living adjustments, they are also of vital 
interest to businesses for market analysis and decisionmaking, and to 
households for financial planning.

    To prepare the accounts, BEA assembles thousands of monthly, 
quarterly, and annual economic data series--ranging from national level 
retail sales to county level wages and salaries--produced largely by 
other government agencies and trade sources--and combines them into 
consistent and comprehensive sets of accounts.
        National economic accounts.--The national accounts are a system 
    of economic accounts that detail the relationship between production 
    and the incomes generated in production and trace the principal 
    economic flows among the major sectors and industries of the 
    economy. They are best known by summary measures such as gross 
    domestic product (GDP), corporate profits, and personal saving. In 
    addition, they provide information on the U.S. capital stock by type 
    and industry; GDP-by-industry; and, through the input-output 
    accounts, information on how industries interact--providing inputs 
    to, and taking outputs from, each other to produce GDP. The national 
    accounts statistics are regarded as the mainstay of macroeconomic 
    analysis.
        International economic accounts.--The international transactions 
    accounts are a system of economic accounts that provide information 
    on international transactions in goods, services, investment income, 
    and government and private financial flows. They are best known by 
    summary measures such as the balance of payments and the balance on 
    goods and services. In addition, the accounts provide information on 
    the U.S. international investment position, which measures the value 
    of U.S. international assets and liabilities and changes in those 
    values. The international transactions accounts and the 
    international investment position are critical statistical tools 
    used in formulating and evaluating international economic policy. 
    BEA's data on direct investment--the most detailed data set on the 
    operations of multinational companies available among the major 
    industrialized nations of the world--are used to assess the vital 
    role these companies play in the global economy.
        Regional economic accounts.--The regional accounts are 
    consistent with the national accounts and provide data on total and 
    per capita personal income by region, State, metropolitan area, and 
    county, and on gross State product. The regional accounts statistics 
    are essential for State government revenue forecasting, the 
    allocation of Federal funds to the States, and for private sector 
    investment decisions.

    Analysis and dissemination of data on economic trends.--This work 
consists of the analysis of BEA data on the current economic situation, 
the publication of the Survey of Current Business and other BEA 
publications, the electronic dissemination of data, and the provision of 
BEA information to customers.

    Implementing BEA's Strategic Plan.--The dynamic economy of the 
1990's, with its dramatic growth in information technology and services, 
has changed so rapidly that our data system has been unable to keep 
pace. Evidence of the serious gaps in our knowledge of how the economy 
is performing is the statistical discrepancy, which is the difference 
between GDP as measured by the final expenditures for goods and services 
produced by the U.S. economy and GDP as measured by the costs incurred 
and incomes earned in the production of those goods and services (gross 
domestic income). In theory, these measures should be equal, but in 
recent years, the divergence between them has grown significantly. In 
2000, BEA will focus on improving its economic accounts by expanding and 
improving the coverage of hard-to-measure services, such as banking and 
other financial services, and of rapidly changing economic activities, 
such as investment in software. Also, BEA will further improve its 
measures of the Nation's capital stock and will work toward implementing 
improved price indexes.

    Improving information technology.--Although BEA has made progress in 
building its critically needed new information technology architecture, 
the actual re-engineering of systems is still underway. In 2000, BEA 
will continue to re-engineer work processes on the local area network 
(LAN) to take full advantage of the efficiencies of the new 
microcomputer environment. The new LAN and the re-engineered systems 
will improve the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of BEA's data and 
will improve accessibility of the data to customers.

    Policy support.--The Economics and Statistics Administration's 
headquarters operation advises the Secretary of Commerce and other 
Government officials on matters related to economic developments and 
forecasts, and the development of options and positions relating to both 
macroeconomic and microeconomic policy.

    Reimbursable.--ESA provides economic and statistical data and 
analyses on a reimbursable and advance payment basis to other Federal 
agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such information. Funds 
received for these services cover the cost of performing this work.

    Activities under Economic and Statistical Analysis support two 
themes of the Commerce Strategic Plan:

    The activities of the International Trade Administration in the 
Department of Commerce are intended to develop the export potential of 
U.S. firms in a manner consistent with national security and foreign and 
economic policy and to promote an improved trade posture for U.S. 
industry.

    Working as a key part of the Government-wide Trade Promotion 
Coordinating Committee, the International Trade Administration (ITA) 
will accomplish this objective by achieving program success within four 
Secretarial Initiatives.

    Statistical Infrastructure.--ITA will provide American businesses, 
governmental units and the general public with statistical information 
necessary to improve their ability to export. In 2000, ITA will expand 
its trade statistics effort by strengthening tourism industry 
statistics.

    Broadening Trade.--ITA will increase its efforts to assist U.S. 
firms to become exporters, aid exporters in entering new markets or 
increase exports in established markets, protect U.S. firms from unfair 
foreign competition, and to ensure that U.S. firms reap the benefits of 
international trade agreements. In 2000, ITA will: further aid U.S. 
firms to enter key Emerging Markets such as Africa and Latin America; 
expand the presence of the United States and Foreign Commercial Service 
offices in the Asia/Pacific region; enforce aggressively the Nation's 
trade compliance agreements, enhance market access programs, with 
emphasis on implementing the Uruguay Round Agreements Act and defending 
U.S. AD/CVD decisions when challenged through the WTO dispute settlement 
process by foreign interests; improve efforts in the area of worldwide 
standards development; and enhance efforts in trade education and 
outreach.

    Digital Department.--Efforts within this Secretarial Initiative 
include automation of information and services for exporters and 
potential exporters and expansion of electronic commerce. In 2000 ITA 
will greatly expand its use of electronic commerce methodologies to 
improve service delivery and better assist small and medium-sized firms 
to use electronic commerce to increase exports. Additionally, ITA will 
assist exporters by bringing U.S. Government's tariff/taxes and customs 
information services for exporters up-to-date and on par with those 
offered by the European Commission to European exporters.

    Clean Financial Audits.--ITA will continue to move forward in its 
efforts to attain a clean financial audit. In 2000, ITA intends to be 
fully up and running on new personal property inventory and accounting 
systems which will greatly enhance its ability to obtain an unqualified 
opinion.

    These four initiatives will be accomplished within the five major 
subdivisions of ITA and through a reimbursable program as follows:

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

    Market Access and Compliance.--The Market Access and Compliance Unit 
(MAC) is the U.S. Government's front-line offensive team working to 
unlock foreign markets for American goods and services country-by-
country and region-by-region. MAC concentrates on market access issues 
and the development of strategies to overcome market access obstacles 
faced by U.S. businesses. MAC maintains in-depth knowledge of the trade 
policies of our trading partners. It monitors foreign country compliance 
with numerous multilateral and bilateral trade-related agreements, 
identifying compliance problems and other market access obstacles. MAC's 
specialists work with other Government agencies to address barriers rap

idly, and to ensure that U.S. firms know how to use the market opening 
agreements. It provides information on foreign trade and business 
practices to U.S. firms and works to find opportunities and to develop 
market strategies in traditional markets and in the emerging markets. 
MAC's objective is to develop and to update continuously current and 
long-term market access strategies, including developing the information 
needed to conduct trade negotiations to open markets. MAC's specialists 
work hand-in-hand with U.S. business, trade associations and other 
business organizations, Commerce's industry and technical specialists, 
and the U.S. Commercial Service's domestic and overseas offices. This 
unit will continue to provide support for the operation of the North 
American Free Trade Agreement.

    Import Administration.--Import Administration investigates 
antidumping and countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with 
applicable U.S. statutes and administers certain other statutory 
programs relating to imports and foreign trade zones.

    U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service.--The U.S. and Foreign 
Commercial Service counsels U.S. businesses on exporting through offices 
in the United States and overseas countries. The program's goals are to 
increase the number of U.S. firms that export and the number of foreign 
markets to which they export; to provide export market information; to 
promote and facilitate participation of U.S. firms in trade shows; and 
to encourage and sponsor additional involvement by private, State and 
local organizations.

    Reimbursable program.--This account includes receipts for services 
rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts received on a cost 
recovery basis from private entities for trade events and export 
information services. ITA proposes to raise fees to offset the costs 
associated with services and products provided. In 1999, ITA conducted a 
study of its existing products and services. In 2000, ITA will improve 
existing products and services to U.S. businesses. As a result, ITA will 
increase reimbursable collections by $3 million in 2000.

    Administration and Executive Direction.--Adminstration and Executive 
Direction provide policy leadership and administration services for the 
other ITA subdivisions. Executive Direction includes the Office of the 
Under Secretary for International Trade, the Deputy Under Secretary for 
International Trade, and subordinate offices covering Legislative and 
Intergovernmental Affairs, Public Affairs, and the Trade Promotion 
Coordinating Committee staff. Administration provides office automation 
and information technology support systems, human resources services, 
financial management services, and general administrative assistance for 
the other ITA subdivisions.

    Activities under the ITA account support the Economic Infrastructure

    The activities of the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) are 
designed to enforce U.S. export trade laws consistent with national 
security, foreign policy, and short supply objectives. The program 
strives to achieve a balance between the interests of U.S. exporters, 
the U.S. economy and U.S. national security requirements.

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

    An increase is being requested to replace the aging Export Control 
Automated Support System (ECASS). A new system is required to recognize 
the fact that today's processing requirements are far different than 
when ECASS was developed. This increase supports the Secretarial digital 
department initiative, and will keep U.S. exporters from being 
competitively disadvantaged, thus eliminating possible adverse national 
security and economic consequences by providing better and faster 
decisions on license applications.

    Export administration.--The export administration program assures 
that export activity is consistent with national security and foreign 
policy requirements.

    An increase is being requested to fully administer the new and 
complex declaration processing functions and on-site inspection 
requirements imposed on commercial chemical manufacturing facilities 
under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). This increase supports the 
Secretarial broadening trade initiative by insuring that our own 
domestic chemical industry is not adversely affected by CWC trade 
restrictions while denying proliferators access to both chemical weapons 
and their precursors.

    Export enforcement.--The export enforcement program detects and 
prevents the illegal distribution of controlled U.S. goods and technical 
data in violation of the export administration provisions of the U.S. 
Code. Other program responsibil

[[Page 206]]

ities include enforcement of prohibitions against participating in 
unsanctioned boycotts against countries friendly to the United States.

    An increase is being requested to implement the requirements of the 
National Defense Authorization Act of 1998 (NDAA). Under this 
legislation, export enforcement must undertake time-sensitive analytical 
screenings of pre-export notifications and conduct a voluminous number 
of post shipments verifications on exports of high performance computers 
to 50 countries, including China, India, Pakistan, Russia and Israel. 
This requested increase supports the Secretarial broadening trade 
initiative and contributes to the national security and economic 
strength of the United States.

    Critical Infrastructure Program.--The Critical Infrastructure 
Assurance Office (CIAO) provides support to the National Coordinator's. 
This includes working with government agencies and the private sector in 
developing a national plan. The office will also coordinate a national 
education and awareness program.

    Activities under this account support one theme of the Commerce 
Strategic Plan:

        Theme: U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace

    The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) has the lead role in 
the Federal Government of coordinating all minority business development 
programs. The mission of the Agency is to build and to expand minority-
owned businesses, which is critical to the national economy. The agency 
was created to promote private and public sector investment in the 
development of competitive minority-owned businesses in this country.

    Minority Business Development.--This activity provides a variety of 
direct and indirect business services through public/private 
partnerships. MBDA coordinates and leverages resources, expands domestic 
and international market opportunities, collects and disseminates vital 
business information, and provides management and technical assistance. 
MBDA also provides support for research, advocacy, and technology to 
reduce information barriers and improve the participation rate of 
minority-owned businesses in the U.S. as well as the global marketplace.

    In 2000, MBDA will continue to develop databases from a variety of 
public and private sector sources. These databases will provide timely 
on-line market information to minority business owners concerning 
available business opportunities. Additionally, MBDA plans to initiate 
several projects with the Small Business Administration that are aimed 
at greater coordination of resources.

    Performance measures.--


[[Page 207]]



    MBDA activities support Theme I of the Department of Commerce 
Strategic Plan: Build for the future and promote United States 
competitiveness in the global market place by strengthening and 
safeguarding the Nation's economic infrastructure. MBDA's activities 
include goals on improving opportunities for minority-owned businesses 
in growth and improving opportunities for minority-owned businesses to 
pursue financing. Additionally, MBDA will promote electronic-commerce as 
well as provide business services electronically.

                                     1998 actual  1999 est.   2000 est.
Goal:
  Improve opportunities for 
    minority-owned businesses to 
    have access to the marketplace
Performance Measures:
  Number of contracts awarded.......       1,070         858         858
  Dollar value of contracts (in 
    millions).......................         300         548         548

    MBDA recognizes the importance of developing more outcome-oriented 
performance measures to assess the impact of MBDA programs. One measure 
which MBDA has examined is a measure of gross receipts:

Dollar value of gross receipts 
generated by assisted minority-owned 
businesses (in millions)............          NA          NA          NA

    The data to support this measure is not currently available. MBDA 
will work to develop this data during 1999 and 2000. In 2001, MBDA will 
include this measure in the Commerce Annual Performance Plan.

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

    National Ocean Service.--These programs provide scientific, 
technical, and management expertise to promote safe navigation; assess 
the health of coastal and marine resources; monitor and protect the 
coastal ocean and global environments; and protect and manage the 
Nation's coastal resources. Increases are proposed to support the 
President's National Ocean Conference Initiatives, Protecting Our Coral 
Reefs, Exploring the Last U.S. Frontier, and Ports for the 21st Century. 
These increases will help strengthen the understanding and protection of 
our valuable ocean resources, as well as our Nation's economic 
competitiveness by promoting safe maritime commerce through real-time 
physical oceanographic data and reduction of the critical nautical 
survey backlog. Increases are also requested to enhance our ability to 
manage our marine protected areas, such as marine sanctuaries and 
estuarine reserves, effectively. As part of the Clean Water Initiative, 
increases are proposed for Coastal Zone Management grants to improve 
support to States and local communities to address pollution, harmful 
algal blooms, and other symptoms of a degraded coastal ecosystem.

    Increases are proposed as part of the President's Lands Legacy 
Initiative to be derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. 
These funds, along with increases in other accounts, highlight the 
Administration's commitment to making new tools available, and working 
with States, Tribes, local governments and private sector partners to 
protect great places; to conserve open space for recreation and wildlife 
habitat; and to preserve forest, farmlands, and coastal areas.

    National Marine Fisheries Service.--These programs provide for the 
management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources and 
their environment, including marine mammals and endangered species. 
Through conservation and wise use, these resources can be managed to 
benefit the Nation on a sustained basis. Increases are proposed to carry 
out the legislative mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
Conservation and Management Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the 
Marine Mammal Protection Act. These increases will support the NOAA 
Strategic Plan goals to build sustainable fisheries, recover protected 
species and promote healthy coastal ecosystems.

    Increases are proposed as part of the President's Lands Legacy 
Initiative to be derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. 
These funds, along with increases in other accounts, highlight the 
Administration's commitment to making new tools available, and working 
with States, Tribes, local governments and private sector partners to 
protect great places; to conserve open space for recreation and wildlife 
habitat; and to preserve forest, farmlands, and coastal areas.

    Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--These programs 
provide the critical environmental research and technology needed to 
improve NOAA services (weather warnings and forecasts, solar-terrestrial 
services, climate predictions, and marine services) to enable the Nation 
to balance a growing economy with effective management and prediction of 
our environment and natural resources. To accomplish these goals, OAR 
supports a network of Federal scientists and laboratories (the 
Environmental Research Laboratories) and university/private-sector 
researchers through the National Sea Grant College Program, National 
Undersea Research Program, and Joint Cooperative Institutes. OAR 
provides the scientific basis for national policy formulation in key 
environmental areas e.g., climate change, air quality, stratospheric 
ozone depletion, marine biotechnology, aquaculture, and environmental 
observing technologies. Funding to support Presidential initiatives is 
also proposed for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the 
Environment program, the Climate and Global Change Program and the High 
Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) Program. OAR programs 
are included in the 21st Century Research Fund.

    National Weather Service.--These programs provide timely and 
accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings, 
forecasts, and planning information to ensure the safety of the 
population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic 
efficiency of the Nation. NOAA will continue the NWS operational 
transition necessary to assimilate the new technologies and the 
associated work force restructuring for future operations.

    National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service.--
These programs provide for operation of environmental polar-orbiting and 
geostationary satellites; and for the collection and archiving of global 
environmental data and information; and services for distribution to 
users in commerce, industry, agriculture, science and engineering, the 
general public and Federal, State and local agencies.

    Program Support.--These programs provide for overall NOAA 
management, NOAA's share of the regional Administrative Support Centers, 
and aircraft to support NOAA missions.

    Facilities.--This program provides for repair and maintenance to 
existing facilities; facilities planning and design; and environmental 
compliance.

    Fleet Maintenance and Planning.--This program provides for the 
repair and maintenance of vessels, including related equipment to 
maintain the existing fleet and for the planning of future 
modernization.

    Foreign Fishing Observer Fund.--This fund is financed through 
collections from foreign vessel owners who fish within the U.S. 
Exclusive Economic Zone. Collections to the fund are used by the 
Secretary of Commerce to pay the salaries of observers and program 
support personnel and the costs of data management and analysis of the 
observer program. The observers collect scientific information on the 
foreign catch and monitor compliance with provisions of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 as amended.

    Aircraft Procurement and Modernization.--This fund was established 
in 1994 to cover the procurement of a high altitude research jet 
aircraft. All funds will be expended by the end of 1999.

    The request for advance appropriations in the Procurement, 
acquisition and construction account responds to the requirements of the 
Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 and the Information 
Technology Management Reform Act of 1996. This account is consistent 
with and supports the Administration's fixed asset policy by seeking 
advanced appropriations for multi-year projects. The Administration 
supports full funding as part of an ongoing attempt to improve cost and 
performance of agency procurements. The Administration's goal is to 
ensure that capital assets support the core/priority mission of the 
agency; the assets have demonstrated a projected return on investment 
that is clearly articulated; cost-benefits of acquisition have been 
evaluated; and that implementation helps ensure accountability.

  *Advance appropriations are not requested for items in brackets.
  Note: Funding included in this account is for acquisition only. Operations funding associated with these programs is 
requested in the ``Operations, Research, and Facilities'' account.

    The projects included in this account support NOAA's operational 
mission across all line offices. In particular, projects related to the 
National Weather Service modernization and on-going operations are 
included. Increases are proposed for the follow-on series of 
geostationary satellites and for the Department of Commerce's continued 
participation in the tri-

agency converged polar satellite program. Small increases are also 
requested for the NEXRAD and ASOS programs. New funding is proposed to 
rehabilitate the National Operations Research Center in Suitland, MD. An 
increase is requested for the National Estuarine Research Reserves 
Systems and the National Marine Sanctuaries program as part of the 
President's Lands Legacy Initiative to be derived from the Land and 
Water Conservation Fund. These funds, along with increases in other 
accounts, highlight the Administration's commitment to making new tools 
available, and working with States, Tribes, local governments and 
private sector partners to protect great places; to conserve open space 
for recreation and wildlife habitat; and to preserve forest, farmlands, 
and coastal areas. Funds are also proposed for the construction of a 
replacement Fisheries Research Vessel.

    This account is proposed to fund Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery for 
the purpose of helping share the costs of State, Tribal and local 
conservation initiatives. This account will support NOAA's contribution 
to a broad interdepartmental initiative bolstering and deploying 
existing and new Federal capabilities to assist in the conservation of 
at-risk Pacific salmon runs in the western States of California, Oregon, 
Washington, and Alaska. These Federal dollars would be matched dollar 
for dollar with non-Federal contributions. The account will be 
established under existing authorities by the Secretary of Commerce and 
made available through agreements with the Governors of each of the four 
States for distribution to assist State, Tribal and local conservation 
efforts. The Secretary will establish terms and conditions for the 
effective use of the funds and specific reporting requirements 
appropriate for ensuring full accountability of the available funds to 
meet the purpose of the account.

    Promote and Develop Fishery Products and Research Pertaining to 
American Fisheries.--An amount equal to 30 percent of the gross receipts 
from customs duties on imported fishery products is transferred to the 
Department of Commerce annually from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

    The American Fisheries Promotion Act (AFPA) of 1980 authorized a 
grants program for fisheries research and development projects and a 
National Fisheries Research and Development Program to be carried out 
with Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) funds. These funds are used to enhance 
the productivity and improve the sustainable yield of domestic marine 
fisheries resources.

    Fisheries Promotional Fund.--The Fish and Seafood Promotion Act of 
1986 (Title II of Public Law 99-659) provided for the establishment of 
the National Seafood Promotional Council and the Fisheries Promotional 
Fund to carry out the provisions of the Act. The National Council was 
terminated on December 31, 1991. Reauthorization is not proposed and any 
activity will be limited to the administration of unobligated balances 
and contract monitoring from previous years' appropriations. Unobligated 
balances of $1.1 million are being proposed for rescission from this 
account.

    The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 stipulates that sums recovered from 
awards or settlements for natural resource damages to NOAA trust 
resources shall be retained in a revolving trust account to permit NOAA 
to carry out (1) oil and hazardous materials contingency planning and 
response, (2) natural resource damage assessment, and (3) restoration or 
replacement of injured or lost natural resources. For a comprehensive 
description of the Prince William Sound Restoration Program, refer to 
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Natural Resource Damage Assessment 
account. The 1999 and 2000 estimates of budget authority transferred 
from other accounts are preliminary and subject to change. NOAA will 
utilize funds transferred to this account to respond to hazardous

    The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) is one of the 32 High Impact 
agencies that have the most extensive interaction with the American 
people, represent most of the Federal Budget, and employ most of the 
Federal workforce. In response to the Vice President, the PTO developed 
bold performance goals that will improve service by the Year 2000 and 
beyond.

    On November 10, 1998, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office 
Reauthorization Act, Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law 105-358) reset patent 
statutory fee amounts. However, these fee rates do not cover any costs 
associated with current PTO employees' post-retirement health and life 
insurance. The 2000 program level will impose $20 million in contingent 
FEHB and FEGLI costs on the Federal Treasury. So that patent and 
trademark fees fully reflect these costs, the Budget proposes a small 
increase in PTO fees, with the associated collections transferred to the 
Employees Health Benefits and Life Insurance Funds. This proposal will 
also be incorporated into proposed legislation making the Patent and 
Trademark Office a performance-based organization.

    Fee collections in 1999 are estimated to be $861 million, though $71 
million was rescinded from these and prior year collections. In 2000, 
total collections are estimated to be $966 million.

    During 2000, the Office will continue to operate through three 
distinct business lines:

    Patent Business.--The Patent Business supports the Department's 
strategic theme to provide effective management and stewardship of our 
Nation's resources and assets to ensure sustainable economic 
opportunities. As part of this theme, the goal is to grant exclusive 
rights, for limited times, to inventors for their discoveries. The 
activities under this business include all functions in the patent 
application processing pipeline, including the initial administrative 
examination of patent applications, the processing of patent 
applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, the formal 
examination of patent applications to determine the patentability of a 
claimed invention, the post-examination processing and printing of 
allowed patents, the review for quality, and the quasi-judicial review 
in appeal and interference proceedings. Other ancillary functions of the 
Patent Business are the classification, documentation and search 
systems, and the maintenance of a scientific and technical library.

    The 2000 program level provides resources for achieving the 
principal goal of achieving 12-month cycle time for 80 percent of 
inventions filed by enlarging the cadre of examiners, streamlining 
application processing, incrementally automating patent processing, and 
implementing process reengineering.

    Key Patent Business quantity and quality performance measures are:

                                                 1998 actual  1999 est.   2000 est.

    Trademark Business.--The Trademark Business supports the 
Department's strategic theme to provide effective management and 
stewardship of our Nation's resources and assets to ensure sustainable 
economic opportunities. As part of this theme, the goal is to enhance 
trademark protection. The activities under this business include the 
examination of trademark applications to determine whether the statutory 
criteria for the Federal registration of a trade or service mark are 
met. The Office issues notices of allowance and certificates of 
registration based on a trademark attorney's determination. Trademark 
application processing functions also include inter

[[Page 219]]

parte proceedings involving oppositions, cancellations, and ex parte 
proceedings.

    The 2000 program level provides for the primary business goal of 
reducing pendency from filing to first action to 3 months. The Trademark 
Business proposes to achieve this goal by focusing on the process, the 
customer, and the employee. Planned activities for 2000 include the 
implementation of process reengineering and leveraging information 
technology to incrementally automate the examination process. Focused 
training of employees and improving communication with customers are 
also an integral part of the activities planned for 2000.

    Key Trademark Business quantity and quality performance measures

    Information Dissemination Business.--The Information Dissemination 
Business supports the Department's strategic theme to keep America 
competitive with cutting-edge science and technology and a world class 
information base. As part of this theme, the goal is to promote 
awareness of, and provide effective access to, patent and trademark 
information. The activities under this business serve the fundamental 
purpose of patent and trademark laws to disclose new technologies and to 
provide public notice concerning intellectual property rights. 
Information dissemination functions include the maintenance of public 
search rooms, the provision of copies and certified copies of patents, 
trademark registrations, and other official documents and the 
recordation of assignments of patent and trademark rights.

    The 2000 program level will continue to enable customers to use the 
Internet to request the status of their patent and trademark 
applications, to place orders and receive products, and to access patent 
and trademark data bases via the PTO's Inernet website.

    Key Information Dissemination Business performance measures are:

                                                 1998 actual  1999 est.   2000 est.

    products and services.......................           *          90           *
*This survey is conducted every two years.

    Policy.--The Policy function supports the Department's strategic 
theme to build for the future and promote U.S. competitiveness in the 
global marketplace by strengthening and safeguarding the Nation's 
economic infrastructure. As part of this theme, the goal is to help 
protect, promote, and expand intellectual property rights systems 
throughout the United States and abroad. The primary function of this 
activity is to advise, assist, promote, and provide expertise, in the 
area of intellectual property rights. The 2000 program level provides 
resources for the Office to pursue administrative and legislative 
reforms that resolve problems, continue improvements and maximize 
efficiencies to ensure the continued vitality of the patent and 
trademark systems.

    A key Policy performance measures is:

                                                 1998 actual  1999 est.   2000 est.

    assistance in intellectual property rights 
    systems.....................................          73          73          80

    Corporate Support.--This activity includes the administrative and 
infrastructure functions in support of the business and policy 
operations of the Office. The 2000 commitments address the Office's 
immediate and long-term space requirements, and maintenance of the 
information technology infrastructure necessary for patent, trademark 
and information dissemination operations and provision of essential 
administrative, financial and human resource services.

    The Technology Administration (TA) is the focal point for civilian 
technology and competitiveness issues within the Administration. TA is 
the primary agency within the Federal Government with the sole mission 
to work in partnership with the private sector to improve U.S. 
industrial competitiveness and to exercise leadership as the private 
sector's advocate.

    The Under Secretary for Technology oversees three agencies within 
TA: the Office of Technology Policy (OTP), the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology, and the National Technical Information 
Service.

    The Under Secretary and the Office of Technology Policy are 
responsible for coordinating a national technology policy. The Under 
Secretary fulfills this role in part by chairing the high-level 
coordinating committee overseeing the Partnership for a New Generation 
of Vehicles Initiative (PNGV), a unique Government-wide, 10-year 
partnership between the Federal Government and the big three automakers. 
The Under Secretary also serves on the Executive Committee of the 
Committee on Technology within the President's National Science and 
Technology Council. This committee pursues industry defined and led 
activities relating to research and development in the areas of 
materials, construction and building, manufacturing infrastructure, 
electronics, and automotive, technologies.

    OTP works to promote technology development and commercialization by 
serving as the Federal Government's primary advocate for innovation and 
industrial competitiveness, analyst of civilian technology issues, and 
incubator for new models of domestic and international technology 
cooperation. OTP administers the National Medal of Technology, a 
Presidential award program that celebrates America's spirit of 
innovation and recognizes excellence in technological innovation and 
commercialization.

    In addition, OTP will continue with its highly successful 
Partnership for Competitive Economy (PACE) initiative. In partnership 
with State and local government, business, and academia, OTP conducts 
PACE conferences around the country to maintain a dialogue on how best 
to help companies compete in the global economy.

    TA also houses the Office of Air and Space Commercialization. This 
office provides advice and counsel for promoting economic conditions 
that foster commercial space development and assistance in coordinating 
the Department's activities related to the commercial space industry, 
encouraging private sector investment in space.

    Performance Measures.--The activities under this account support one 
theme of the Commerce Strategic Plan:

        Theme: Science/Technology/Information
        Goal: To improve technology's contribution to U.S. 
    competitiveness, economic growth, and job creation through the 
    analysis, development, advocacy, and implementation of national 
    technology policies and programs.

    The National Technical Information Service (NTIS), a component of 
the Technology Administration, operates this revolving fund for the 
payment of all expenses incurred in performing the activities of the 
NTIS, which include the acquisition and public sale of domestic and 
foreign federally funded research, development, and engineering reports 
and associated business information.

    This appropriation partially funds costs associated with the 
collection, input processing, and preservation of government information 
products. Title 15 U.S.C. 1151-1157, as amended, directs NTIS to perform 
these functions and NTIS's projected fees are not sufficient to fully 
cover the cost of these activities. The NTIS collection represents a 
comprehensive, permanent, accessible record of the United States 
Government's massive investments in research and development since the 
end of World War II. The Administration intends to submit legislation 
providing NTIS with greater flexibility in performing its mission.

    Performance Measures.--The activities under this account support the 
Science and Technology Leadership theme under the Commerce Strategic 
Plan. The Annual Performance Plan goal is to collect and disseminate 
technical information. The first objective is to play a leadership role 
in assisting Federal agencies with dissemination of their scientific, 
technical and business information.

                                     1998 actual  1999 est.   2000 est.
Items in Archive (millions).........         2.8         2.9         3.1

    The second objective is to provide services and infrastructure to 
organize scientific, technical, and business-related information and 
deliver to customers through effective systems.

    This appropriation supports the renovation of NIST's current 
buildings and laboratories to comply with more stringent science and 
engineering requirements and is included in the 21st Century Research 
Fund.

    The request includes funding for construction of an Advanced 
Measurement Laboratory at NIST's main campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland. 
The 5-wing complex will provide stringent controls for particulate 
matter, temperature, vibration, and humidity that are unattainable in 
current NIST buildings, and equal to or better than similar labs 
overseas. Such conditions are vital for NIST to keep pace with rapid 
developments in semiconductors, precision instruments, industrial 
robots, computers, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, building materials, and 
emerging technologies requiring molecular and atomic-level precision.

    The proposed level provides the final increment needed to fully fund 
the AML's $203 million construction cost, which is based on single phase 
construction over four years from existing designs. Funding is derived 
from $68 million in 1998 funds, $40 million from 1999 funds, and $95 
million requested in 2000. An additional $15 million for fit-up, 
relocation, and communication costs is planned for 2001, bringing the 
total project cost to $218 million. Projected completion is in late 
2003.

    To improve the safety and performance of existing NIST facilities, 
the remaining balance of funds in this account will be used to address 
the highest-priority maintenance and repair projects, as outlined in the 
NIST Facilities Improvement Plan.

    The National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
(NTIA) is the principal executive branch adviser to the President on 
domestic and international telecommunications policy. Additionally, it 
manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and 
performs extensive research in telecommunications sciences.
        Domestic and international policies.--In 2000, NTIA will 
    continue to develop and advocate policies to improve and expand 
    domestic telecommunications services and markets so that the 
    benefits of telecommunications are more widely available to 
    consumers. NTIA will advise White House officials, coordinate with 
    other Executive Branch agencies, and participate in relevant 
    Congressional actions and interagency and Federal Communications 
    Commission (FCC) proceedings on a host of issues. NTIA will focus on 
    developing events, such as implementation of specific provisions of 
    the 1996 Telecommunications Act. NTIA will develop policies 
    promoting universal, available and affordable services to all 
    Americans, competition in telecommunications and information 
    markets, and development of new technology. NTIA will make policy 
    recommendations in such areas as traditional common carrier 
    networks, wireless services and products, the mass media (including 
    advanced television), as well as issues arising from the Internet 
    and electronic commerce. NTIA will also develop and implement 
    policies required to safeguard personal privacy.
        NTIA will continue to formulate and advocate policies for the 
    advancement of U.S. telecommunications and information technology 
    priorities in the international telecommunications policy and 
    regulatory arena. NTIA will continue to forcefully encourage the 
    broad liberalization of telecommunication regulations now taking 
    hold across the globe that create significant opportunities for a 
    variety of U.S. telecommunications interests and enterprises. NTIA 
    will continue to place great emphasis on the international 
    development of electronic commerce as an essential element of the 
    emerging information society. In addition, NTIA will conduct 
    necessary implementation or other follow-up to the 1998 
    International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Plenipotentiary 
    Conference and the World Trade Organization (WTO's) Group on Basic 
    Telecommunications (GBT) agreement. NTIA will continue its advocacy 
    of U.S. interests in other international and regional fora affecting 
    telecommunications standards, infrastructure development and market 
    access. NTIA also will represent executive branch concerns related 
    to international telecommunications regulation before the FCC. In 
    coordination with the Department of State and the FCC, the agency 
    will continue to discharge statutory responsibilities for oversight 
    of the Communications Satellite Corporation (COMSAT) in its role as 
    U.S. Signatory to INTELSAT and INMARSAT as these two organizations 
    consider options for restructuring.
        Spectrum Management.--In 2000, NTIA will continue to manage and 
    resolve issues associated with the Federal Government's use of the 
    spectrum domestically and internationally. In coordination with the 
    Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and with the advice of the 
    Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC), NTIA will continue 
    to satisfy the spectrum requirements of the Federal Government, make 
    plans to satisfy the future spectrum needs of the Federal 
    Government, coordinate Federal spectrum future requirements in 
    shared spectrum bands, and develop and implement policy to use the 
    spectrum effectively and efficiently. NTIA will prepare for, 
    participate in, and implement the results of regional, national, and 
    international conferences on spectrum use and allocations including 
    the World Radio Conference 2000. Emergency communications and 
    Federal Government continuity of operations planning during 
    emergency conditions will continue. NTIA will also interface with 
    the private sector through its spectrum openness program and its 
    Internet web site and apprise them of Government spectrum use and 
    rules and regulations governing this use. NTIA will also review 
    major communications systems costing billions of dollars under 
    development by Federal agencies to certify that spectrum will be 
    available in the future; conduct frequency band studies to define 
    spectrum issues and make plans to prevent future interference; and, 
    operate computer automated facilities to process some 80,000 
    requests for frequency assignments to meet the communications needs 
    of the Federal Government and support analysis and engineering 
    aspects of spectrum management. NTIA will also continue its efforts 
    to identify and apply new spectrum saving technologies, identify 
    adjacent band effects for use by designers of future communications, 
    and address the public safety community's need for future spectrum 
    and interoperability at the Federal, State and local levels.

    Telecommunications Sciences Research.--In 2000, NTIA will develop 
improved spectrum measurement techniques, in part, through advanced 
research facilities upgrades, to address the increasing use of broadband 
technologies, including digital signals, spread-spectrum, and frequency 
agile systems. NTIA will support the development of wireless 
technologies by studying the behavior of broadband radio waves in indoor 
and outdoor environments in order to create more accurate modeling of 
radio propagation that will lead to improved methods of spectrum sharing 
among users. Additionally, NTIA will prepare and coordinate proposed 
domestic and international telecommunications standards, develop and 
demonstrate user-friendly ways to assess the performance of industry and 
Government telecommunications networks, evaluate future technologies 
that may facilitate competition in the U.S. telecommunications industry, 
promote international trade opportunities for U.S. telecommunications 
firms and improve the cost effectiveness of Government 
telecommunications use. Also, NTIA will initiate a program to analyze 
the Nation's telecommunications and information infrastructure 
protection needs and formulate outputs that will enhance the ability of 
the U.S. to protect this critical infrastructure.

    In April 1997, the Federal Communications Commission issued 
regulations requiring broadcasters to transition from analog to digital 
broadcasting. Public broadcasters must convert to digital broadcasting 
by May 1, 2003. Advance appropriations are requested for a multi-year 
program to allow advance planning and certainty in the public 
broadcasting system's transition to digital broadcasting. Funds made 
available from this program to the Public Telecommunications Facilities, 
Planning and Construction program (PTFP) will facilitate public 
broadcasters' transition to digital broadcasting. $35 million is 
requested in 2000 as part of a $450 million, five-year initiative now in 
its second year. The initiative is funded in both the Corporation for 
Public Broadcasting and the Department of Commerce. Funding through PTFP 
will be targeted for digital transmission equipment, while funding for 
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will support necessary expenses 
related to digital program production and development.

    PTFP awards grants to strengthen and extend service delivery by the 
public broadcasting system and to assist public broadcasters and non-
commercial entities with facilities purchases to demonstrate innovative, 
replicable applications of digital broadcasting. To facilitate the 
public broadcasting's transition to digital technology, PTFP will fund 
broadcasters' acquisition of core digital transmission and base 
equipment through merit- and need-based grants.

    Performance measure.--Activities under this account support Theme I 
of the Commerce Strategic Plan, including the goals of supporting the 
development of a national information infrastructure that will be 
accessible to all Americans.

    The Information Infrastructure Grants program (Telecommunications 
and Information Infrastructure Assistance program) facilitates the 
development of the national telecommunications and information 
infrastructure by promoting the widespread availability and use of 
advanced telecommunications technologies to enhance the delivery of 
social services, such as education, health care, and public safety; and 
is supporting the formation of a nationwide, multimedia, high-speed, 
interactive infrastructure of varied information technologies. The 
program greatly leverages the Federal investment by providing grants for 
outstanding projects that can serve as national models, evaluating the 
projects, and broadly disseminating the project findings. By focusing on 
underserved communities in both rural and urban areas, the program helps 
to reduce disparities in access to the developing national information 
infrastructure.
