                         DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

        The 2001 budget provides $22,363 million in discretionary funding
    for veterans health, benefits, and other services, including $22,971
    million in gross discretionary budget authority and $608 million in
    anticipated medical collections.

        The account by account information provided in the following budget
    schedules is supplemented by a department-wide strategic plan, published
    in September 1997, a performance plan submitted annually with the
    Budget, and an annual accountability report. The performance plan
    contains annual goals for each of the Department of Veterans Affairs'
    (VA) programs along with historic performance data, where available. The
    accountability report includes audited financial statements along with
    actual program performance as measured against goals.

        VA published an initial strategic plan in September, 1997. The
    Department will publish a new strategic plan in 2000.

        The 2001, performance plan highlights approximately 25 key measures
    determined by the VA's top executives as overall measures of
    departmental performance. In addition, the performance plan identifies
    the total budgetary resources, including FTE, associated with each of
    VA's major programs.

        For 2001, the budget provides a total VA Medical Care program level
    of $20,890 million, an increase of $1,392 million over the 2000 level.
    This includes $20,282 million in appropriated budget authority and $608
    million in anticipated medical collections. VA's authority to retain all
    collections from third party insurance companies, other copayments, and
    related medical fees is relatively uncommon in the federal government
    and critical to VA's success in providing care to veterans.

        The 2001 budget includes a proposal to consolidate the Health
    Services Improvement Fund and the Extended Care Revolving Fund with the
    Medical Care Collections Fund. The Health Services Improvement Fund was
    established by the Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act,
    P.L. 106-117. This fund serves as a depository for amounts received or
    collected under the following areas as authorized by title 38, U.S.C.
    1729B: (1) reimbursement from DoD for Tricare-eligible military
    retirees; (2) enhanced-use lease proceeds; and (3) receipts attributable
    to increases in medication copayments. Amounts in the fund are intended
    to be used to: (1) furnish medical care services and (2) for VA expenses
    for identification, billing, auditing and collections of amounts owed
    the Government. These funds are available without fiscal year
    limitation.

        The Extended Care Revolving Fund was also established by the
    Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act, P.L. 106-117. This
    fund receives per diems and co-pays from certain patients receiving
    extended care services as authorized in title 38, U.S.C. 1710B. Amounts
    deposited in the fund are used to provide extended care services. The
    proposal would also return one half of the first $700,000,000
    ($350,000,000), in collections received by the consolidated fund to the
    Treasury.

        The 2001 budget also includes a legislative proposal to permanently
    extend current legal provisions due to expire in 2003. These provisions
    provide for the collection of third-party health insurance payments for
    care provided by the VA for service-connected veterans with nonservice
    connected conditions, copayments, and income verification provisions.

        The Medical and Prosthetic Research account is an intramural program
    whose mission is to discover knowledge and create innovations that
    advance the health and care of veterans and the Nation. Veterans health
    issues are addressed comprehensively in the following four program
    divisions:

        Medical Research.--Medical Research strives to understand the
    disease process so that efficient, rational interventions can be made to
    cure or alleviate the effects of disease. The program supports
    investigator-initiated research projects, the training of clinicians in
    basic and clinical research, and centers of excellence devoted to
    specific diseases. The research is done in areas particularly relevant
    to the veteran population--aging, chronic disease, mental illness,
    substance abuse, military occupations, and environmental exposures.

        Rehabilitation Research.--Rehabilitation Research is dedicated to
    the development and application of science and engineering to improve
    the care and quality of life for the physically disabled. The program
    supports investigator-initiated research projects, the training of
    clinicians and engineers in rehabilitation research, centers of
    excellence devoted to specific disabilities, and technology transfer.
    The research is done in areas particularly relevant to the disabled
    veteran population--aging, sensory loss, and trauma related illness.

        Health Services Research.--Health Services Research is directed
    toward improving the outcome effectiveness and cost efficiency of health
    care delivery for the veteran population. The program supports
    investigator-initiated research projects, the training of clinicians in
    applied clinical research, centers of excellence devoted to specific
    aspects of health care delivery, and service-directed projects
    addressing clinical management needs. The research focuses on the
    translation of research findings to clinical best practices for all
    veteran patients. Particular contributions are made in the areas of
    aging, substance abuse, health systems, and special populations.

        Cooperative Studies.--Cooperative Studies Research has recently been
    separated from the Medical Research and Health Services Research
    programs and is directed toward large multi-site clinical trials.
    Cooperative Studies supports the clinical trials with its own
    statistical support centers and its own FDA-approved pharmacy. The
    research determines the efficacy and cost effectiveness of new
    medications and new treatment strategies of direct benefit to the
    veteran population in the areas of aging, chronic disease, mental
    illness, special populations, and military occupations and environmental
    exposures.

        VA's Medical and Prosthetic Research programs are included in the
    21st Century Research Fund.

        The Medical Care Cost Recovery (MCCR) Fund was established by the
    Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, P.L. 100-508. This Fund
    served as a depository for all third-party insurance collections. Of
    these funds, a portion was utilized to provide for FTE and other
    administrative costs associated with medical care cost recovery efforts.
    After providing the estimated cost of operations for the ensuing year,
    remaining funds were transferred to the Department of Treasury before
    January of the next year. Public Law 105-33, the Balanced Budget Act of
    1997, established the Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF) and
    terminated MCCR and required that amounts collected or recovered after
    June 30, 1997 be deposited in the new fund. The amounts collected will
    be available only for: (1) furnishing VA medical care

    [[Page 876]]

    and services during any fiscal year, and (2) for VA expenses for
    identification, billing, auditing and collections of amounts owed the
    government.

        This account provides funds for the operating expenses of VA medical
    facilities furnishing nursing home care to certain veterans in receipt
    of pensions. Title 38 provides that a veteran with no spouse or child
    will only receive $90 per month in pension beginning the third full
    month following the month of admission to VA furnished nursing home
    care. The difference between the $90 the veteran receives and the amount
    otherwise authorized is transferred to this fund from the Compensation
    and Pension account to assist in covering expenses at the facility
    furnishing the nursing care.

        This revolving fund, established pursuant to the Veterans Omnibus
    Health Care Act of 1976, Public Law 94-581, provides a mechanism for the
    furnishing of rehabilitative services to certain veteran beneficiaries
    who are receiving medical care and treatment from the Department of
    Veterans Affairs.

        Funds to operate the various rehabilitative activities and provide
    for the therapeutic work for remuneration for patients and members in VA
    health care facilities are derived from contractual arrangements with
    private industry or nonprofit entities. Public Law 102-54 authorizes VA
    to contract with any Federal agency, including VA, and authorizes the
    Fund to cover the training, education, and travel costs of employees
    associated with the rehabilitative programs. This is a self-sustaining
    fund, and therefore no appropriation is required to support these
    activities.

        This fund consists of: gifts, bequests, and proceeds from the sale
    of property left in the care of the facilities by former beneficiaries;
    patients' fund balances; and, proceeds from the sale of effects of
    beneficiaries who die leaving no heirs or without having otherwise
    disposed of their estate. Such funds are used to promote the comfort and
    welfare of veterans at hospitals, nursing homes, and domiciliaries where
    no general appropriation is available. Public Law 102-54 authorizes
    compensation work therapy and therapeutic transitional housing and loan
    programs to be funded from the General Post Fund. In addition, donations
    from pharmaceutical companies, non-profit corporations, and individuals
    to support VA medical research are deposited into this fund. (38 U.S.C.
    chs. 83 and 85.)

        Also under this heading are the activities of the Transitional
    Housing Loan Program. This program provides loans to nonprofit
    organizations to assist them in leasing housing units exclusively for
    use as a transitional group residence for veterans who are in (or who
    have recently been in) a program for the treatment of substance abuse.
    The amount of the loan cannot exceed $4,500 for any single residential
    unit and each loan must be repaid within two years through monthly
    installments. The total amount of loans outstanding at any time may not
    exceed $100,000.

        Legislation will be proposed to eliminate this program which has had
    no utilization to date, and for which new programs have filled the need.

        This appropriation provides for the payment of compensation benefits
    to veterans and survivors. Compensation is paid to veterans for
    disabilities incurred in or aggravated during active military service.
    Dependency and Indemnity Compensation is paid to survivors of
    servicepersons or veterans whose death occurred while on active duty or
    as a result of service-connected disabilities. Compensation and
    vocational rehabilitation is provided to the children of Vietnam
    veterans who were born with the birth defect spina bifida.

        The Secretary may pay a clothing allowance to each veteran who uses
    a prescribed medication for a service-connected skin condition or wears
    a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance (including a wheelchair) which, in
    the judgment of the Secretary, tends to damage or tear the clothing of
    such veteran.

        Caseload and cost tables shown below do not include proposed
    legislation.

                                  Compensation

                    (Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)

        The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 requires VA to delay the issuing of
    October 2000 benefit payment from September 29, 2000 to October 2, 2000.
    Legislation will be proposed to repeal this delay.

        Legislation will also be proposed to pay full disability
    compensation benefits to Filipino veterans and their survivors residing
    in the U.S. and currently receiving benefits at half the level that U.S.
    counterparts receive.

        The Administration is proposing legislation that will extend a
    current legal provision due to expire in 2002 which rounds down the
    annual COLA increase.

                                    Pensions

        For the payment of pension benefits to or on behalf of veterans as
    authorized by law, $3,066,127,000, to remain available until expended;
    of which not to exceed $16,153,000 shall be reimbursed to ``General
    operating expenses'' and ``Medical care'' for necessary expenses as
    authorized by chapters 51, 53, 55, and 61 of title 38, United States
    Code; and of which such sums as may be earned on an actual qualifying
    patient basis, shall be reimbursed to ``Medical facilities revolving
    fund'' to augment the funding of individual medical facilities for
    nursing home care provided to pensioners as authorized by chapter 55 of
    such title.
        For the payment, after June 30 of the current fiscal year of pension
    benefits to or on behalf of veterans as authorized by law, for
    unanticipated costs incurred for the current fiscal year, such sums as
    may be necessary. (38 U.S.C. chapters 15 and 61.)

        Pension benefits may be paid to veterans or their survivors. A
    veteran's entitlement is based on active duty service of a specific
    length (normally 90 days or more) during a designated war period,
    disabilities considered permanent and total, and countable income below
    established levels. There is no disability requirement for survivor
    cases. Income support is provided at established benefit levels.

        Veterans who are under the age of 45 and are in receipt of a
    disability pension will be evaluated to determine whether a vocational
    goal is reasonably feasible. Those for whom a vocational goal is
    feasible are eligible for a program of vocational training.

        An automatic annual cost-of-living increase comparable to the annual
    social security increase is provided for those pensioners in the
    improved program and to parents receiving dependency and indemnity
    compensation. The increase, effective with payments made on January 1,
    2001, is expected to be 2.5 percent.

        All Volunteer Force educational assistance (Montgomery GI Bill).--
    Public Law 98-525, enacted October 19, 1984, established two new
    peacetime educational programs: an assistance program for veterans who
    enter active duty during the period beginning July 1, 1985; and an
    assistance program for certain members of the Selected Reserve. The
    Readjustment benefits appropriation pays the basic benefit allowance for
    the peacetime veterans, except for certain Post-Vietnam Era Veterans
    Education participants who transferred to the Montgomery GI Bill
    program. Supplementary educational assistance and the basic benefit
    allowance for peacetime veterans, Post-Vietnam Era Veterans Education
    converters, and reservists are financed by payments from the Department
    of Defense and the Department of Transportation.

        This fund finances the payment of claims on nonparticipating life
    insurance policies issued and currently is open for new issues to
    veterans having service-connected disabilities. The program provides
    insurance coverage for service-disabled veterans at standard rates.
    Administrative expenses are paid from the General operating expenses
    appropriation.

        Operating costs--
            Death claims.--Represents payments to designated beneficiaries.
            All other.--Represents payments to policyholders who surrender
        their policies for their cash value and hold endowment policies
        which have matured.

        Capital investment.--A policyholder may borrow up to 94 percent of
    the value of his policy.

        The trend in the number and amount of policies in force is indicated
    in the following table.

                         POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE

                                         1999 actual  2000 est.   2001 est.
    Number of policies..................     154,410     151,250     147,870
    Insurance in force (dollars in
    millions)...........................       1,440       1,406       1,372

        Financing.--Operations are financed from premiums and other
    receipts. Additional funds are received by transfer from the veterans'
    insurance and indemnities appropriation, instead of direct
    appropriations to this fund.

        Operating results and financial condition.--Since premium and other
    receipts are insufficient to cover operations, the fund continues to
    project liabilities in excess of assets. The deficit is expected to
    reach an estimated $454 million by September 30, 2001.

        Note.--The Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are
    not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown
    for this account have been discontinued.

        This fund pays claims and administrative costs on participating life
    insurance policies issued during the period May 1, 1965, through May 2,
    1966, under three life insurance programs: (1) service-disabled standard
    insurance; (2) service-disabled rated insurance; and (3) nonservice
    disabled insur- ance availing disabled World War II and Korean conflict
    veterans an opportunity to acquire life insurance coverage who were no
    longer eligible for other Government insurance.

        Budget program--
            Death claims.--Represents payments to designated beneficiaries.
            Dividends.--Policyholders participate in the distribution of
        annual dividends.
            All other.--This represents payments to the General operating
        expenses account for the administrative costs of processing claims
        and maintaining the accounts, and to those policyholders who: (a)
        surrender their policies for cash value; (b) hold endowment policies
        which have matured; and (c) have purchased total disability income
        coverage and subsequently become disabled.
            Policy loans made.--A policyholder may borrow up to 94 percent
        of the cash value of his policy at an interest rate adjusted to
        reflect private sector borrowing costs.
            The following table reflects the decrease in the number of
        policies and the amount of insurance in force:

                         POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond,
    (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that
    resulted from obligations or commitments in any year) as well as for the
    administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are
    estimated on a net present value basis.

        The Federal guaranty for this program protects lenders against the
    following types of losses: (a) for loans of $45,000, or less, 50 percent
    of the loan is guaranteed; (b) for loans greater than $45,000, but not
    more than $56,250, $22,500; (c) for loans more than $56,250 but less
    than $144,000, the lesser of $36,000 or 40 percent of the loan; or (d)
    for loans greater than $144,000, the lesser of $50,750 or 25 percent of
    the loan.

        As part of a continuing effort to reduce administrative costs, in
    addition to restructuring and consolidations, VA is conducting a study
    of the property management function to determine whether it would be
    more cost effective to contract out this activity. The study will be
    complete at the end of 2000.

        All information from the Native American Veterans Housing Loan
    Program and the Guaranteed Transitional Housing Loans for Homeless
    Veterans Program is consolidated in a single housing fund called the
    Miscellaneous Veterans Housing Loans Fund.

        The Native American Veterans Housing Loan Program provides direct
    loans to veterans living on trust lands under 38 U.S.C. chapter 37,
    section 3761. These loans are available to purchase, construct or
    improve homes to be occupied as the veteran's residence. The principal
    amount of a loan under this authority is generally limited to $80,000,
    except in areas where housing costs are significantly higher than
    average costs nationwide. This is a pilot program that began in 1993 and
    is authorized through December 31, 2001.

        Public Law 105-368, the ``Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of
    1998,'' established a pilot project designed to expand the supply of
    transitional housing for homeless veterans and to guarantee up to 15
    investment loans with a maximum aggregate value of $100 million. Not
    more than five loans may be guaranteed in the first three years of the
    program. The project must enforce sobriety standards and provide a wide
    range of supportive services such as counseling for substance abuse and
    job readiness skills. Residents will be required to pay a reasonable
    fee.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for these programs, the subsidy costs associated with the
    direct loans obligated and the guaranteed loans committed in 1992 and
    beyond, as well as the administrative expenses of these programs. The
    subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the
    administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

        All information from the Vocational Rehabilitation Loan Program and
    Education Loan Fund is consolidated in a single housing fund called the
    Miscellaneous Veterans Programs Loan Fund.

        The Vocational Rehabilitation Loan Fund provides loans of up to $840
    (based on indexed Chapter 31 Subsistence allowance rate) to veterans
    enrolled in a program of vocational rehabilitation who are temporarily
    in need of additional funds to meet their expenses.

        The Education Loan program provides loans of up to $2,500 to
    dependents of veterans who are eligible for training benefits under
    chapter 35, title 38, U.S.C. and who are without sufficient funds to
    meet their education related expenses.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for these programs, the subsidy costs associated with the
    direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond, as well as the administrative
    expenses of these programs. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a
    present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash
    basis.

        Note.--The Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are
    not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown
    for this account have been discontinued.

        This fund was established in 1940 for the World War II servicemen's
    and veterans' insurance program. Over 22 million policies have been
    issued under this program. Activity of the fund reflects a rising claim
    workload. The trend in the number and amount of policies in force is
    shown as follows:

                         POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE

                                         1999 actual  2000 est.   2001 est.

    Insurance in force (dollars in
    millions)...........................      17,662      16,921      16,177

        This fund is operated on a commercial basis to the extent possible.
    The income of the fund is derived from premium receipts, interest on
    investments, and payments which are made to the fund from the Veterans
    insurance and indemnities appropriation.

        Assets of the fund, which are largely invested in special interest-
    bearing Treasury securities and in policy loans, are expected to
    decrease from $12,825 million as of September 30, 2000 to $12,609
    million as of September 30, 2001. The actuarial estimate of policy
    obligations as of September 30, 2001, total $12,205 million, leaving a
    balance of $404 million for contingency reserves.

        The status of the fund, excluding noncash transactions, is as
    follows:

        Note.--The Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are
    not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown
    for this account have been discontinued.

        This fund was established in 1919 to receive premiums and pay claims
    on insurance issued under the provisions of the War Risk Insurance Act.
    The general decline in the activity of the fund is indicated in the
    following table:

                         POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE

                                         1999 actual  2000 est.   2001 est.
    Number of policies..................      17,973      16,263      14,583
    Insurance in force (dollars in
    millions)...........................          59          53          48

        The fund is operated on a commercial basis to the extent possible.
    The income of the fund is derived from interest on investments and
    payments from the Veterans insurance and indemnities appropriation.
    Effective January 1, 1983, premiums were discontinued because reserves
    held in the fund were adequate to meet future liabilities of the
    program.

        Assets of the fund, which are largely invested in interest-bearing
    securities and policy loans, are estimated to decrease from $78 million
    as of September 30, 2000, to $72 million as of September 30, 2001, as an
    increasing number of policies mature through death or disability. The
    actuarial evaluation of policy obligations as of September 30, 2001,
    totals $69 million, leaving a balance of $3 million for contingency
    reserves.

        The status of the fund, excluding noncash transactions, is as
    follows:

        Note.--The Department of Veterans Affairs insurance policy loans are
    not an extension of Federal credit. Credit schedules previously shown
    for this account have been discontinued.

        This fund finances the payment of claims on life insurance policies
    issued before January 3, 1957, to veterans who served in the Armed
    Forces subsequent to April 1, 1951. No new policies can be issued.
    Policyholders may elect to purchase total disability income coverage
    with the payment of additional premiums.

        Budget program--
            Death claims.--Represents payments to designated beneficiaries.
            Cash surrenders.--A policyholder may terminate his or her
        insurance by cashing in the policy for its cash value.
            Dividends.--Policyholders participate in the distribution of
        annual dividends.
            All other.--Classified in this category are payments to
        policyholders who: (a) hold endowment policies which have matured;
        (b) have purchased total disability income coverage and subsequently
        become disabled; and (c) are paid interest on dividend credits and
        deposits.
            The following table reflects the decrease in the number of
        policies and the amounts of insurance in force:

                         POLICIES AND INSURANCE IN FORCE

                                         1999 actual  2000 est.   2001 est.
    Number of policies..................     233,893     228,143     222,393
    Insurance in force (dollars in
    millions)...........................       2,699       2,668       2,630

        Financing.--Payments from this fund are financed primarily  from
    premium  receipts  and  interest  on investments.

        Operating results and financial condition.--Favorable mortality
    experience on insurance written against this fund has kept death claim
    payments well below the amount of premium and interest receipts, thereby
    producing an annual increase in the total revenue of the fund. Excess
    earnings of the fund are now distributed to the policyholders in the
    form of an annual dividend.

        Specific performance goals relating to the National Cemetery
    Administration are contained in VA's annual performance plan.

        The mission of the National Cemetery Administration is to honor
    veterans with a final resting place and lasting memorials that
    commemorate their service to our Nation. The National Cemetery
    Administration's vision is to provide a lasting tribute to our Nation's
    veterans by being mission-driven, results-oriented, and customer-
    focused. There are four related programs managed by the National
    Cemetery Administration including: (1) burying eligible veterans and
    family members in national cemeteries and maintaining the graves and
    their environs as national shrines; (2) providing aid to States in
    establishing, expanding, or improving State veteran cemeteries; (3)
    providing headstones and markers for the graves of eligible persons in
    national, State, and private cemeteries; and (4) providing presidential
    memorial certificates to family and friends of deceased veterans,
    recognizing the veteran's contribution and service to the Nation.

        The National Cemetery Administration also reflects budget
    information for the National Cemetery Gift Fund. Through this Trust
    Fund, the Secretary is authorized to accept gifts and bequests which are
    made for the purpose of beautifying national cemeteries or are
    determined to be beneficial to such cemeteries, or are made for the
    purpose of the operation, maintenance, or improvement of the National
    Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.

        Under the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 8121, the Supply Fund is
    responsible for the operation and maintenance of a supply system for VA.
    The Supply Fund is an intragovernmental revolving fund without fiscal
    year limitations.

        Budget program.--The fund provides financial support for: (1) a
    National Acquisition Center or central contracting office; (2) the
    maintenance of field station inventories; (3) a service and distribution
    center; (4) a service and reclamation program; (5) a national
    prosthetics distribution center; and (6) an asset management service.

        Costs for the administration of supply activities at VA field
    stations are not financed by the Supply Fund. These costs are charged
    directly to applicable appropriations accounts.

        Financing.--Costs of supplies, equipment, and services acquired
    through the Supply Fund and Supply Fund operating costs are recovered
    through reimbursements from the VA appropriations and other Government
    agencies receiving goods and services. For 2001, Supply Fund sales are
    estimated to reach $650 million. Average inventory needed to support
    those sales will be $30 million.

        Operating results.--The Fund operated at a loss of $4 million in
    1999. The new total of retained earnings is $67 million. Operating
    expense as related to sales was 9 percent.

        VA was chosen as a pilot Franchise Fund agency under the Government
    Management and Reform Act, P.L. 103-356, of 1994. Established in 1997,
    administrative services included in the Franchise Fund are financed on a
    fee-for-service basis rather than through VA's General Operating
    Expenses Appropriation. VA's Franchise Fund is a revolving fund used to
    supply common administrative services on the basis of services supplied.
    Enterprise Centers are the lines of business within the VA Franchise
    Fund and are expected to have net billings of about $150 million and
    employ 1,034 people, who were transferred from their parent
    organizations.

        The Franchise Fund concept is intended to increase competition for
    government administrative services resulting in lower costs and higher
    quality.

        governments subject to the regulations, including an estimate of--
                    (A) the costs of complying with the six minimum control
                measures described in the regulations; and

                construction threshold from 5 acres to 1 acre;
            (2) an explanation of the rationale of the Administrator for
        lowering the construction site threshold from 5 acres to 1 acre,
        including--
                    (A) an explanation, in light of recent court decisions,
                of why a 1-acre measure is any less arbitrarily determined
                than a 5-acre measure; and

                acre threshold for a construction site;

        generally a problem in communities with populations of 50,000 to
        100,000 (including an explanation of why the coverage of the
        regulation is based on a census-determined population instead of a
        water quality threshold); and
            (4) information that supports the position of the Administrator
        that the Phase II stormwater program should be administered as part
        of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System under section
        402 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1342).]

    Program. (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to establish a
    demonstration regarding the commercial feasibility and economic
    viability of private sector business operations involving the
    International Space Station and its related infrastructure. The goal
    will be furthered by the early use of the International Space Station by
    United States commercial entities committing private capital to
    commercial enterprises on the International Space Station. In
    conjunction with this demonstration program, the National Aeronautics
    and Space Administration (NASA) shall establish and publish a price
    policy designed to eliminate price uncertainty for those planning to
    utilize the International Space Station and its related facilities for
    United States commercial use.
        (b) Use of Receipts for Commercial Use.--Any receipts collected by
    NASA from the commercial use of the International Space Station shall
    first be used to offset any costs incurred by NASA in support of the
    United States commercial use of the International Space Station. Any
    receipts collected in excess of the costs identified pursuant to the
    prior sentence may be retained by NASA for use without fiscal year
    limitation in promoting the commercial use of the International Space
    Station.]
        [(c) Report.--NASA shall submit an annual report to the PCongress
    that identifies all receipts that are collected under this section, the

    submit a final report on the status of the demonstration, including any
    recommendation for expansion, within 120 days of the completion of the
    assembly of the International Space Station or the end of fiscal year
    2004, whichever is earlier.]

    commercial use'' means private commercial projects that are designed to
    benefit the United States through the sales of goods or services or the
    creation of jobs, or both.]
        [(e) Termination.--The demonstration program established under this
    section shall apply to United States commercial use agreements that are
    entered into prior to the date of the completion of the International
    Space Station or the end of the fiscal year 2004, whichever is earlier.]
