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 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 2001, EDA's Community and Regional Economic Enhancement program
will continue to serve as the 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. EDA will implement an e-commerce
program which will create equitable access to new technologies and
create the broadband networks necessary to support full access to e-
commerce in all communities. EDA will strengthen its efforts to assist
American Indian Tribes and Alaskan Native Villages by providing capacity
building and developing finance and infrastructure projects needed to
enable these communities to be more effective and competitive in their
economic development efforts. EDA will also provide comprehensive
support for economic development efforts in the highly distressed
communities of the lower Mississippi Delta Region and will continue to
help distressed communities recover from sudden and/or severe economic
downturns such as those caused by increased foreign imports,
international trade agreements and industry downsizing.
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 EDA program activities under this account
support the Department of Commerce strategic goals to expand economic
growth, trade, and prosperity; to stimulate innovation for American
competitiveness; and to advance sustainable economic development. For
investments made in 1999, 2000, and 2001, long-term outcome results will
be reported by grantees over a period of nine years following grant
award and project completion. For example, 2001 grants for construction
and revolving loan fund projects are expected to create or retain 61,543
jobs by 2010. Below are EDA's strategic goals and selected performance
measures that demonstrate EDA's support of Commerce strategic goals:

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. The 2001 program
includes initiatives to measure e-business and to conduct an annual
Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (SMOBE).
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. The 2001 program
includes additional funding to improve export data.
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 includes an initiative to measure
economic well-being.
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.
The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was established
and funded through mandatory appropriations by the Medicare,
Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance Program Balanced
Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-113). $10 million was
appropriated to produce statistically reliable annual State data on
the number of low-income children who do not have health insurance
coverage. The CHIP will allocate funds to States based on statistics
from an enhanced March Income Supplement to the Current Population
Survey (CPS).
Performance measures.--Activities under the Salaries and
Expenses account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal
involving promotion of economic growth. The
[[Page 205]]
performance goals 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.
2001 is the second year in the 2002 Economic Census cycle, and
planning for that census will include initial design of forms and
development of processing systems.
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.
2001 is the second year in the five-year cycle of the 2002 Census of
governments. The focus for 2001 is planning for the census.
Demographic statistics programs.--
[[Page 206]]
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.--In 2001 Decennial Census activities will
focus on the final tabulation and dissemination of data collected
during Census 2000. The requested funding will enable the Bureau to
complete field work associated with Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation
(A.C.E.) follow-up operations, to create a repository for metadata,
and to closeout remaining data capture centers and field offices
that were opened longer due to increased workloads. 2001 funding
will also be used to compare data from the American Community Survey
(ACS) with Census 2000 results, and to issue a report on census
operations.
The Bureau will deliver to the President, by December 31, 2000,
the data used to apportion Congressional seats. Additionally, the
population counts from Census 2000 will be delivered to the states
for redistricting as required by P.L. 94-171.
Continuous Measurement.--The continuous measurement program will
allow the Census Bureau to collect and disseminate, on an annual basis,
the types of data collected on the Decennial Census long form. The
continuous measurement program will make the Census Bureau the premier
source for current population and housing data needed for both near and
long-term economic development. The Bureau will continue developing and
testing the program in 2001.
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 after each decennial census to update the
accuracy of the ongoing surveys. A funding increase is required to
complete work for Bureau-specific 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.
Suitland Federal Center Office Space Renovation/Construction.--
Funding is requested in 2001 for the Bureau's share of space planning to
correct the aging, inadequate, and failing building systems at the
Bureau's headquarters in the Suitland, MD Federal Center.
Performance measures.--Activities under the Periodic Censuses and
Programs account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal
involving promotion of economic growth. The goals are to provide quality
data, and to provide timely and relevant data.
A selected performance goal for the Bureau is below.

Bureau of Economic Analysis.--The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA),
a principal Federal statistical agency, provides the most comprehensive
statistical picture available of 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 $115 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--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 prod
[[Page 208]]
uct (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 U.S. economy, 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 2001, BEA will
focus on improving its economic accounts by taking steps to fill gaps in
coverage and reduce existing discrepancies. BEA will work toward
expanding and improving the coverage of hard-to-measure services and
rapidly growing and changing economic activities, such as e-business.
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 2001, 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. In addition, BEA
will work to enhance the security of its data.
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 the
Commerce strategic goal involving promotion of economic growth.
Performance measures.--
Goal: Provide quality data

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.
Enhance the U.S. Statistical Infrastructure.--ITA will provide
American businesses, governmental units and the general public with
statistical information necessary to improve their ability to export. In
2001, ITA will expand its trade statistics effort by strengthening and
increasing analysis of industry statistics.
Stimulating Manufacturing and Environmental Technology Exports.--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 2001, ITA will: further aid U.S. firms to enter key
Emerging Markets such as Africa and Latin America; 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; and enhance efforts in
trade education and outreach.
Accelerating the Transition to Electronic Commerce.--Efforts within
this Secretarial Initiative include automation of information and
services for exporters and potential exporters and expansion of
electronic commerce. In 2001 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.
Addressing Critical Construction and Base Needs.--ITA will continue
to move forward in its efforts to attain a clean financial audit. In
2001, ITA intends to restore funding in its US&FCS unit for fees and
base funding.
Native American Economic Development.--ITA will strengthen its focus
on aiding Native Americans to become exporters, enter new markets, and
increase exports in established markets. In 2001, ITA intends to assist
Native Americans to increase cultural heritage tourism as part of their
economic and community development plans.
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
rapidly, 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.
[[Page 211]]
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 2001, ITA will improve
existing products and services to U.S. businesses.
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 Commerce's strategic
goal relating to promotion of economic growth.

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 continue to engage Russia and
other nations of the former Soviet Union and Central Europe in
cooperative export control work and to engage China, India, Pakistan,
and other countries thought to pose proliferation risks. In order to
build a comprehensive program that taps the full range of BXA's
expertise for assisting in development of export controls in countries
of greatest consequence to our national security, BXA is seeking funding
to institute these programs in China, India, Pakistan, and several other
key states.
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 responsibilities include enforcement of prohibitions
against participating in unsanctioned boycotts against countries
friendly to the United States.
An increase is being requested to enable Export Enforcement to
address key concerns regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction,
Counterterrorism and the Chemical Weapons Convention. Enforcement will
investigate in-bound shipments; increase counterterrorism work with the
FBI, Customs, CIA, and the State Department, enforce data declaration
and inspection requirements, enforce export controls on chemicals, and
enforce import restrictions on scheduled chemicals.
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.
An increase is being requested to restore the CIAO to the 1999 level
and to provide funding for work with information sharing and analysis
centers (ISAC). This increase will permit
[[Page 213]]
the CIAO to perform its coordination and facilitation role in support of
Presidential Decision Directive 63.
Activities under this account support the Commerce strategic goal to
promote economic growth.

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 2001, 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.--MBDA activities support the Department of
Commerce's strategic goal of promoting economic growth. MBDA's
activities include goals on improving opportunities for minority-owned
businesses in the marketplace and improving opportunities for minority-
owned businesses to pursue financing. Additionally, MBDA will promote
electronic-commerce as well as provide business services electronically.

====================================
National Ocean Service (NOS).--Funding for the U.S. Coral Reef Task
Force, the Coastal Zone Management Program, the National Estuarine
Research Reserves Program, and the National Marine Sanctuaries Program
within this account is proposed as part of a new Lands Legacy
discretionary spending category to provide dedicated and protected
funding for the President's Lands Legacy Initiative. See the Environment
Chapter in the Budget for a summary of the Initiative. These programs
provide scientific, technical, and management expertise to promote safe
navigation; assess the health of coastal and marine resources and
respond to natural and human induced threats; monitor and protect the
coastal ocean and global environments; and protect and manage the
Nation's coastal resources. NOS's role as leader in coastal stewardship
supports many of the recommendations contained in the recently released
National Ocean Report. ``Turning to the Sea: America's Ocean Future.''
These recommendations help provide the framework for a comprehensive
ocean agenda which will guide Federal efforts into the 21st Century. To
meet the challenges posed in this report, NOS seeks increases under the
President's Lands Legacy, National Ocean Conference, South Florida, and
Clean Water Initiatives for its suite of navigation, response and
restoration, and coastal science and management programs. 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 powerful new digital nautical chart
products. 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.
National Marine Fisheries Service.--Funding for the U.S. Coral Reef
Task Force program within this account is proposed as part of a new
Lands Legacy discretionary spending category to provide dedicated and
protected funding for the President's Lands Legacy Initiative. See the
Environment Chapter in the Budget for a summary of the Initiative. 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.
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
[[Page 216]]
these goals, OAR supports a network of Federal scientists in
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.
Performance measures.--Activities under this account support NOAA's
seven goals and three Commerce strategic goals. Each theme and goal have
key performance measures that support the theme and goal:
Theme: Build for the future and promote U.S. competitiveness in
the global marketplace by strengthening and safeguarding the
Nation's economic infrastructure.

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.

[[Page 219]]
This account funds Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery for the purpose
of helping share the costs of State, Tribal and local conservation
initiatives. This account supports 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. In addition, funds would be available to
coastal tribes (not to exceed 10 percent) that do not require matching
dollars. The account has been 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. An increase is
requested to provide for continued implementation of the Pacific Salmon
Agreement. This request will provide funds to capitalize the Southern
Boundary Restoration and Enhancement Fund and the Northern Boundary and
Transboundary Restoration and Enhancement Fund plus provide grants to
the states of Washington and Alaska. The two endowment funds are
administered jointly by the United States and Canada to invest in
habitat, stock enhancement, science, and salmon management initiatives
in both countries.
Fisheries Assistance
For necessary expenses associated with vessel buyouts and other
activities to address overfishing or overcapitalization in fisheries
that are not sustainable, $10,000,000, to remain available until
expended, as authorized by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1861a).

This account is proposed to fund the Fisheries Assistance Fund to
address overfishing or overcapitalization in fisheries that are not
sustainable through capacity reduction (vessel buyouts and other means).
The funds would be used to complement the fishing industry's funding of
overall buyback costs in 2001.
The fishing industry funds buyback costs through long-term loans
from the Fisheries Finance Program (FFP). Post-buyback harvesters repay
FFP buyback loans by landing fees equal to up to 5% of the landed value
of all post-buyback harvests. Fish buyers collect these fees by
deducting them from fish purchase proceeds before paying harvesters.
Buyback loans are possible only if two-thirds of harvesters voting in
special referenda approve the necessary loan repayment fees. The
Fisheries Assistance Fund would help realize the economic and
conservation benefits associated with fishing capacity reduction.
Coastal Impact Assistance
For grants to states to protect and sustainably manage coastal
resources, $100,000,000 for Lands Legacy, to remain available until
expended, as authorized by the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as
amended.

Funding for this account is proposed as part of a new Lands Legacy
discretionary spending category to provide dedicated and protected
funding for the President's Lands Legacy Initiative. See the Environment
chapter in the Budget for a summary of the initiative. This account is
proposed to provide coastal States currently involved in offshore oil
and gas production with additional resources needed to protect and
sustainably use ocean and coastal resources. Funds from this account
will provide grants to coastal states to implement activities consistent
with Coastal Zone Management Plans and that increase protection and
sustainable management of coastal resources such as habitat protection,
community revitalization, improved coastal access, and public education
on coastal issues. The account will be administered by the Secretary of
Commerce and made available through agreements with eligible coastal
states for distribution. The Secretary will establish terms and
conditions for the effective use of funds and specific reporting
requirements appropriate for ensuring full accountability of the
available funds to meet the purposes of the account.

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 in the year 2001 and
beyond.
On November 29, 1999, President Clinton signed a consolidated
spending bill that included the ``American Inventors Protection Act of
1999''. This Act reforms the U.S. patent system in a number of
significant ways, including adjusting patent and trademark fees to
reflect the results of an activity-based costing effort; providing an
optional reexamination process for reviewing patent validity; extending
patent terms if processing of a patent application is delayed for
reasons beyond the inventor's control; publishing certain patent
applications 18 months after filing date; and providing personnel and
procurement flexibilities to ensure more effective and modern management
of PTO.
Fee collections in fiscal year 2000 are estimated to be $984
million. In fiscal year 2001, total fee collections are estimated to be
$1,152 million.
During 2001, the Office will continue to operate through three
distinct business lines:
Patent Business.--The Patent Business supports the Department's
strategic goal to stimulate innovation for competitiveness. The Patent
Business grants 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 2001 program level provides resources to improve the quality of
our products and services through enhancement of training,
classification, and examiner searcher programs. Additionally, specific
programs geared toward improving weaknesses identified by our customers
will be implemented. Finally, funds are provided for implementation of
the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999.

Trademark Business.--The Trademark Business supports the
Department's strategic goal to stimulate innovation for competitiveness.
The Trademark Business has the mission 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 parte proceedings involving oppositions,
cancellations, and ex parte proceedings.
The 2001 program level provides resources to fund fiscal year 2000
trademark programs and staff levels, including inflationary adjustments.

Dissemination Business 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 2001 program level provides resources to fund fiscal year 2000

scale used when administering the survey.
Policy.--The Policy function supports the Department's strategic
goal to stimulate innovation for competitiveness. The Policy function is
organized 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 2001 program
level provides resources to fund fiscal year 2000 policy programs and
staff levels, including inflationary adjustment.

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 $15,000,000 for the fit-up and relocation costs
associated with the 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. NIST will award a contract for construction in
2000 and projected completion is in late 2004.
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.--NTIA develops and
advocates policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications
services and markets so that the benefits of telecommunications are
more widely available to consumers. NTIA provides advice to White
House officials, coordinates with other Executive Branch agencies,
and participates in relevant Congressional actions and interagency
and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proceedings on a host of
issues. NTIA's focus is on current and emerging issues such as
implementation of specific provisions of the 1996 Telecommunications
Act. NTIA develops policies promoting universal service to all
Americans, competition in telecommunications and information
markets, and development of new technologies. NTIA makes 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, such as the Digital Divide.
NTIA advocates the advancement of U.S. priorities in the
international telecommunications policy and regulatory areas. NTIA
will continue to encourage forcefully the broad liberalization of
telecommunication regulations now taking hold across the globe that
create significant opportunities for U.S. telecommunications
interests and enterprises including emphasis on the international
development of electronic commerce as an essential element of
today's information society. NTIA supports U.S. interests in
international and regional fora affecting telecommunications
standards, infrastructure development and market access. NTIA also
represents executive branch concerns related to international
telecommunications regulation before the FCC. In coordination with
the Department of State and the FCC, the agency also discharges
statutory responsibilities for oversight of the Communications
Satellite Corporation in its role as U.S. Signatory to INTELSAT and
INMARSAT
[[Page 233]]
as these two organizations consider options for restructuring.
Spectrum Management.--NTIA manages the Federal Government's use
of the spectrum, both domestically and internationally. In
coordination with the FCC and with the advice of the Interdepartment
Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC), NTIA supports the spectrum
requirements of the Federal Government, makes plans to satisfy the
Government's future spectrum needs, coordinates Federal spectrum
requirements in shared spectrum bands, and develops and implements
policy to use the spectrum effectively and efficiently. NTIA
prepares for, participates in, and implements the results of
regional, national, and international conferences on spectrum use
and allocations. NTIA also is responsible for emergency
communications and Federal Government continuity of operations
planning for communications during emergency conditions. NTIA
coordinates its activities with the private sector through its
spectrum openness program and its Internet web site and apprises
private sector entities of Government spectrum use and rules and
regulations governing this use. NTIA reviews major Federal
communications systems to certify that spectrum will be available;
conducts frequency band studies to define spectrum issues and makes
plans to prevent future interference; and, processes approximately
80,000 annual requests for frequency assignments to meet the
communications needs of the Federal Government and support analysis
and engineering aspects of spectrum management. NTIA also strives 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 spectrum and
interoperability at the Federal, State, and local levels.
Telecommunications Sciences Research.--NTIA develops improved
spectrum measurement techniques to address the increasing use of
broadband technologies, including digital signals, spread-spectrum,
and frequency agile systems. NTIA supports 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 prepares
and coordinates proposed domestic and international
telecommunications standards, develops and demonstrates user-
friendly ways to assess the performance of industry and Government
telecommunications networks, evaluates future technologies that may
facilitate competition in the U.S. telecommunications industry,
promotes international trade opportunities for U.S.
telecommunications firms and improves 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. $110 million is
requested in 2001 as part of a $450 million, five-year initiative now in
its third 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 grants strengthen and extend service delivery by the public
broadcasting system and 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.
