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.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records the administrative expenses for this program, as well as the
subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and
thereafter, if any. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value
basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

The economic outlook for the oil and gas industry has dramatically

anticipated demand for oil and gas guarantees, a rescission of
unobligated balances is proposed for FY 2002 in this account.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records the administrative expenses for this program, as well as the
subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and
thereafter, if any. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value
basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.
In light of lower than anticipated demand for steel loan guarantees,
a rescission of unobligated balances is proposed for FY 2002 in this
account.

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 2002, EDA's programs 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 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. This program will not be funded in FY 2002.
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.
[[Page 206]]
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 2000, 2001, and 2002, long-term outcome results will
be reported by grantees over a period of nine years following grant
award and project completion. For example, 2002 grants for construction
and revolving loan fund projects are expected to create or retain 57,895
jobs by 2011. 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.
Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly,
cumulative, and annual reports on the quantity, shipping weight, and
dollar value of imports and exports, by mode of transportation,
detailed commodity category, customs districts, and country of
origin or destination. This program covers the Census Bureau
responsibilities under the Trade Act of 1974.
Government statistics reports provide information on the
revenue, expenditures, indebtedness and debt transactions, financial
assets, employment, and payrolls of State and local governments. The
Census Bureau provides quarterly information on State and local tax
revenue on the national level by type of tax and governmental level,
and provides information on financial assistance programs of the
Federal government.
Current demographic statistics.--Household surveys provide
information on the number, geographic distribution, and the social
and economic characteristics of the population.
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,
[[Page 208]]
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 State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) 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 SCHIP 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 performance goal is to
develop relevant, accurate and timely national and community
economic and household statistics for decision making.
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.
2002 is the third year in the 2002 Economic Census cycle. The focus
of activity is the printing of millions of report forms and
development of electronic data collection, data capture and
processing systems to be used in the 2002 Economic Census.
Census of governments.--The Census of governments is the only
source of comprehensive and uniformly classified data about the
economic activities of state and local governments. The 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. 2002 is the third year in the five-year
cycle of 2002 Census of governments. The focus for 2002 will be on
conducting the Government Organization Survey, the primary
instrument for developing the complete directory of state and local
government entities. In addition, we will finish developing all data
collection and processing systems.
Demographic statistics programs.--
Intercensal demographic estimates.--In years between decennial
censuses, this program develops annual estimates of the population
and its demographic characteristics, for the nation, states,
metropolitan areas, counties and functioning governmental units.
These data are used for a variety of purposes including the
allocation of over $180,000,000,000 in federal funds, as controls
for a variety of federally sponsored surveys, as denominators for
vital statistics and other health and economic indicators and for a
variety of federal, state, and private program planning needs.
Decennial census.--In FY 2002, the focus shifts from heavy
emphasis on closeout of Census 2000 activities and provision of
apportionment counts and redistricting data to the processing,
tabulation and dissemination of detailed results from Census 2000.
Funding will also be used to complete orderly closeout of Census
2000 activities, including working with local and tribal governments
who challenge their housing unit counts and group quarters
population counts, and implementation and release of Census 2000
evaluation data.
Planning for the next census must begin in earnest in FY 2002.
The Census Bureau will take a multi-faceted approach to 2010
planning beginning in FY 2002. First, the Bureau will establish an
early infrastructure to allow the Bureau to begin testing major
elements of an early census design. The Long-Form Transitional
Database (LFTDB) evaluation study will be conducted to enable
reengineering of the 2010 Census and full implementation of the
American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS will lead to a greatly
simplified census in 2010 by capturing the long form data
continuously throughout the decade, thus eliminating the need to
collect these data as part of the census every ten years. Finally,
census intends to restructure the internally developed Master
Address File (MAF)/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and
Referencing (TIGER) system to bring it in line with Global
Positioning System (GPS). GPS technology and satellite mapping
imagery will be used to improve the accuracy and increase the
efficiency of collecting the street and address information required
for the 2010 Census. All of these planning activities are heavily
integrated, and build on efforts conducted as part of Census 2000
data collection.
Continuous measurement.--The continuous measurement program, which
includes the American Community Survey and the Small Area Income and
Poverty Estimates 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 detailed
characteristics of the population and housing data needed for both near
and long-term economic development. The Bureau will continue developing
and testing the program in 2002.
Demographic surveys sample redesign.--This program provides for the
sample selection of monthly, quarterly and annual household surveys to
conform to the redistribution of the population measured in the
decennial census. This is done after each decennial census in order to
select accurate samples for the major household surveys throughout the
decade. A funding increase is required to complete the computer system
development and processing of decennial data and to begin listings of
housing units.
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 in the U.S. and its
territories. The activity's major components include the TIGER data base
and the MAF. TIGER provides maps and geographic information for data
tabulation; MAF provides the geographically-assigned address list for
the Nation. Together, they provide essential information and products
critical for conducting many of the Bureau's programs.
Data processing systems.--This activity provides for the purchasing
or renting of hardware and software needed for the Bureau's general
purpose computing facilities.
Performance measures.--Activities under the Periodic Censuses and
Programs account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal
involving promotion of economic growth. The performance goals are to
develop relevant, accurate and timely national and community economic
and household statistics for decision making, conduct the Decennial
Census (FY 2000, FY 2001, FY 2002) and define, through consultations,
policy assessment, planning, research, experiments, and evaluations, the
plan for the 2010 Census.
A more detailed presentation of the goals, performance measures, and
targets is found in the Commerce Annual Performance Plan.

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 product (GDP), corporate profits, and personal saving. In
addition, they provide information on the U.S. capital stock by type
and industry; GDP-by-industry; and, through the input-output
accounts, information on how industries interact--providing inputs
to, and taking outputs from, each other to produce GDP. The national
accounts statistics are regarded as the mainstay of macroeconomic
analysis.
International economic accounts.--The international transactions
accounts are a system of economic accounts that provide information
on international transactions in goods, services, investment income,
and government and private financial flows. They are best known by
summary measures such as the balance of payments and the balance on
goods and services. In addition, the accounts provide information on
the U.S. international investment position, which measures the value
of U.S. international assets and liabilities and changes in those
values. The international transactions accounts and the
international investment position are critical statistical tools
used in formulating and evaluating international economic policy.
BEA's data on direct investment--the most detailed data set on the
operations of multinational companies available among the major
industrialized nations of the world--are used to assess the vital
role these companies play in the global economy.
Regional economic accounts.--The regional accounts are
consistent with the national accounts and provide data on total and
per capita personal income by region, State, metropolitan area, and
county, and on gross State product. The regional accounts statistics
are essential for State government revenue forecasting, the
allocation of Federal funds to the States, and for private sector
investment decisions.
Analysis and dissemination of data on economic trends.--This work
consists of the analysis of BEA data on the current economic situation,
the publication of the Survey of Current Business and other BEA
publications, the electronic dissemination of data, and the provision of
BEA information to customers.
Implementing BEA's strategic plan.--The dynamic U.S. economy, with
its dramatic growth in information technology and services, has changed
so rapidly that the BEA 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
2002, 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 2002, 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.--BEA will seek to maintain: a ranking of first
among 37 countries in producing GDP in a timely fashion, based on
measures compiled by the International Monetary Fund; delivery of all
data releases on schedule; and a mean rating of 4.3 (on a 5-point scale)
in users' satisfaction, as determined by a customer survey.

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 its
five major subdivisions and through reimbursable programs 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.
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.
U.S. and foreign commercial service.--The U.S. and Foreign
Commercial Service counsels U.S. businesses on exporting
[[Page 214]]
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.
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

The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) seeks to advance U.S.
national security, foreign policy, and economic interests by regulating
exports of critical goods and technologies that could be used to damage
those interests (while furthering the growth of legitimate U.S. exports
to maintain our economic leadership); by enforcing compliance with those
regulations; by cooperating with like-minded nations to obtain global
support for this effort; by assisting nations that are key exporters or
transit points for sensitive goods and technologies to strengthen their
own transit and export controls; and, by monitoring the U.S. defense
industrial base to ensure it remains strong.
Management and policy coordination.--The management and policy
coordination program controls the development, analysis, 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 requested to complete the redesign of the Export
Control Automated Support System (ECASS). ECASS will keep U.S. exporters
from being completely disadvantaged, thus eliminating possible adverse
national security and economic consequences by providing better and
faster decisions on license applications.
Export administration.--The export administration program assures
that export activity is consistent with national security and foreign
policy requirements.
An increase is being requested to support BXA's statutory export
control requirements. BXA's portfolio includes a number of high profile
program and policy areas with a heavy technical overlap, including
computers, encryption, and chemical and biological weapons.
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.
Critical infrastructure program.--The Critical Infrastructure
Assurance Office (CIAO) supports the work of the National Coordinator.
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.
Performance measures.--The activities under this account support the
Commerce strategic goal to provide the information and the framework to
enable the economy to operate efficiently and equitably.

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.

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 providing the information and the framework
to enable the economy to operate efficiently and equitably. MBDA's
activities include goals on improving opportunities for minority-owned
businesses to have access to 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.
Goal: Improve opportunities for minority-owned businesses to
have access to the marketplace.

National Ocean Service (NOS).--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 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 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. Increases are proposed for Coastal Zone Management grants to
improve support to States and local communities to address pollution,
harmful algal blooms, and other symptoms of a degraded coastal
ecosystem. Increases are also proposed to support the National Marine
Sanctuaries Program and other marine protected areas.
[[Page 218]]
National Marine Fisheries Service.--These programs provide for the
management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources and
their environment, including marine mammals and endangered species.
Through conservation and wise use, these resources can be managed to
benefit the Nation on a sustained basis. Increases are proposed to carry
out the legislative mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the
Marine Mammal Protection Act. These increases will allow NOAA to meet
its 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 these goals, OAR
supports a network of Federal scientists in research laboratories and
universities through the National Sea Grant College Program, National
Undersea Research Program, Office of Global Programs, Joint Institutes.
OAR provides the scientific basis for national policy formulation in key
environmental areas e.g., climate change, weather research, air quality,
stratospheric ozone depletion, marine biotechnology, aquaculture, and
environmental observing technologies. The NOAA-wide programs also funded
in OAR are Climate Observations and Services, Ocean Exploration, High
Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC), and Global Learning and
Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program.
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. NWS is also responsible for issuing
operational climate forecasts for the United States. NWS data and
products form a national information database and infrastructure which
can be used by other government agencies, the private sector, the
public, and the global community. Funding is proposed to support the
National Research Council's recommendation to ensure continuity of
modeling funding at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction
(NCEP) and establish the NOAA-NASA Joint Center for Satellite Data
Assimilation. NWS is also planning to begin the replacement of critical
components of its Co-Operative Observer Network.
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service.--
These programs provide for operation of environmental polar-orbiting and
geostationary satellites; 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.

seven goals. Each goal has key supporting performance measures as
follows:

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. Funds are
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.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 stipulates that sums recovered from
awards or settlements for natural resource damages to NOAA trust
resources shall be retained in a revolving trust account to permit NOAA
to carry out (1) oil and hazardous materials contingency planning and
response, (2) natural resource damage assessment, and (3) restoration or
replacement of injured or lost natural resources. For a comprehensive
description of the Prince William Sound Restoration Program, refer to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Natural Resource Damage Assessment
account. The 2001 and 2002 estimates transferred from other accounts are
preliminary and subject to change. NOAA will utilize funds transferred
to this account to respond to hazardous materials spills in the coastal
and marine environments, by conducting damage assessments, providing
scientific support during litigation, and using recovered damages to
restore injured resources.

The North Pacific Marine Research Institute Fund was created by
Section 2204 of P.L. 106-246. Funds are to be administered by the North
Pacific Research Board to conduct research and carry out education and
demonstration projects relating to the North Pacific main ecosystem. The
emphasis of these projects is on marine mammals, sea birds, fish and
shellfish populations in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska and near the
Alaska Marine National Wildlife Refuge. These funds will also be used to
cover the lease, maintenance, and operation costs and to upgrade
research equipment for the Alaska Sea Life Center.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers
the patent and trademark laws, which provide protection to inventors and
businesses for their inventions and corporate and product
identifications, and encourages innovation and the scientific and
technical advancement of American industry through the preservation,
classification, and dissemination of patent information. In addition to
the examination of applications for patent grants and trademark
registrations, the USPTO provides technical advice and information to
other Executive Branch agencies on intellectual property matters and the
trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights.
Fee collections in fiscal year 2001 are estimated to be $1,152
million. In fiscal year 2002, fee collections are estimated to be $1,346
million.
During 2002, the Office will continue to operate through three
distinct business lines:
Patent business.--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,
[[Page 228]]
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 fiscal year 2002 program level provides resources at a slightly
greater level than the fiscal year 2001 program level. The fiscal year
2002 program level provides resources to maintain quality, integrate
agency business practices into e-government, and process incoming
applications at essentially the fiscal year 2001 performance level.
Additional funding is provided in order to improve recruitment and
retention, and for additional costs related to implementation of the
American Inventors Protection Act of 1999.
Key Patent Business quantity and quality performance measures are:
2000 actual 2001 est. 2002 est.
Applications received............... 293,244 328,400* 367,800

Percent of customers satisfied...... 64% 67% 63%
*Does not include 6,600 patent applications refiled as a result of the
enactment of the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999, for a total of
335,000 applications received.
Trademark business.--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 examination activities also include inter parte proceedings
involving oppositions, cancellations, and ex parte proceedings.
The 2002 program level provides resources to fund fiscal year 2002
trademark programs and staff levels, including inflationary adjustments.
Additional funding is provided in order to improve productivity.

This appropriation supports the extension of technology to American
industry and fosters the development of broad-based, high-risk
technology by industry.
Extramural programs.
Advanced technology program (ATP).--The ATP is the focus of a
national effort to help accelerate the commercialization of high-
risk, broad benefit enabling technologies with significant
commercial potential. ATP is a merit-based, rigorously competitive,
cost-shared partnership program that provides assistance to U.S.
businesses and joint R&D ventures to help them improve their
competitive position. The President's FY 2002 budget proposes
suspending the granting of new awards in FY 2002. Resources
available in FY 2002 would be used to pay for prior year award
commitments and administrative costs while the Department of
Commerce conducts an evaluation of the program to see if ATP
subsidies to U.S. industry are still merited.
Manufacturing extension partnership (MEP).--As a nationwide
system of centers in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, MEP's goal is to
improve the competitiveness of U.S.-based small manufacturers. MEP
does this by providing information, decision support, and
implementation assistance to small manufacturers in adopting
advanced manufacturing technologies and business best practices. The
centers are created through a partnership between state, Federal,
and local governments, educational institutions, and private
industry, and they tailor services to meet the needs of the local
manufacturing base in the area.
Performance measures.--The activities under this account supports
the Commerce strategic goal to provide infrastructure for innovation to
enhance American competitiveness. The performance of these activities is
evaluated through a combination of external review, economic impact
studies, and evaluation of numerous quantitative outcomes and outputs.
Performance goals:
1. Accelerate technological innovation and development of the
new technologies that will underpin future economic growth (ATP).
2. Improve the technological capability, productivity, and
competitiveness of small manufacturers (MEP).

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
[[Page 235]]
recommendations in such areas as traditional common carrier
networks, wireless services and products, the mass media (including
advanced television), as well as issues arising from the Internet
and electronic commerce.
NTIA 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 with respect to international satellite
organizations.
Spectrum management.--NTIA manages the Federal Government's use
of the radio frequency 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
90,000 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.
Telecommunication 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.
Performance measures.--Activities under this account support the
Commerce strategic goal to provide the information and the framework to
enable the economy to operate efficiently and equitably.
Goal: Ensure spectrum provides the greatest benefit to all
people.

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. The public telecommunications facilities, planning and
construction program (PTFP) will facilitate public broadcasters'
transition to digital broadcasting. $43 million is requested in 2002.
The program 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.

The Technology opportunities program facilitates the development of
the national telecommunications and information infrastructure by
promoting the widespread availability and use of advanced
telecommunications technologies to enhance the delivery of social
services, such as education, health care, and public safety. The program
greatly leverages the Federal investment by providing grants for
outstanding projects that can serve as national models, evaluating the
projects, and broadly disseminating the project findings. By focusing on
underserved communities in both rural and urban areas, the program helps
to reduce disparities in access to the developing national information
infrastructure.

adjacent channels required by subsection (a). The Commission shall
conduct such test in no more than nine FM radio markets, including
urban, suburban, and rural markets, by waiving the minimum distance
separations for third-adjacent channels for the stations that are the
subject of the experimental program. At least one of the stations shall

separations for third-adjacent channels are needed for FM translator
stations. The Commission may, consistent with the public interest,

minimum distance separations for third-adjacent channels for the
stations that are the subject of the experimental program.

conduct field tests in the markets of the stations in the experimental

listener.

comment on such results. The Federal Communications Commission shall

[Sec. 635. (a) This section may be cited as ``Amy Boyer's Law''.
(b) Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The inappropriate display, sale, or use of social security
numbers is a significant factor in a growing range of illegal
activities, including fraud, identity theft, and, in some cases,
stalking and other violent crimes.
(2) Because social security numbers are used to track financial,
health care, and other sensitive information about individuals, the
inappropriate sale or display of those numbers to the general public
can result in serious invasions of individual privacy and facilitate
the commission of criminal activity.
[[Page 242]]
(3) The Federal Government requires virtually every individual
in the United States to obtain and maintain a social security number
in order to pay taxes, to qualify for social security benefits, or
to seek employment. An unintended consequence of these requirements
is that social security numbers have become tools that can be used
to facilitate crime, fraud, and invasions of the privacy of the
individuals to whom the numbers are assigned. Because the Federal
Government created and maintains the social security number system,
and because the Federal Government does not permit persons to exempt
themselves from the requirements of that system, it is appropriate
for the Federal Government to take steps to stem abuse of the
system.
(4) A social security number is simply a sequence of numbers. In
no meaningful sense can the number itself impart knowledge or ideas.
Persons do not sell or transfer such numbers in order to convey any
particularized message, nor to express to the purchaser any ideas,
knowledge, or thoughts.
(5) No one should seek to profit from the display or sale to the
general public of social security numbers in circumstances that
create a substantial risk of physical, emotional, or financial harm
to the individuals to whom those numbers are assigned.
(6) Various entities may display, sell, or use social security
numbers, including the private sector, the Federal Government and
State governments, and Federal and State courts. Whatever the
source, the inappropriate display or sale to the general public of
social security numbers should be prevented.
(7) Congress should enact legislation that will offer an
individual assigned a social security number necessary protection
from the display, sale, or purchase of the number in circumstances
that might facilitate unlawful conduct or that might otherwise
likely result in unfair and deceptive practices.
(c)(1) Part A of title XI of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1301
et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following new section:
``prohibition of certain misuses of the social security number

person may display or sell to the general public any individual's social
security number, or any identifiable derivative of such number, without
the affirmatively expressed consent, electronically or in writing, of
the individual.
``(b) No person may obtain any individual's social security number,
or any identifiable derivative of such number, for purposes of locating
or identifying an individual with the intent to physically injure, harm,
or use the identity of the individual for illegal purposes.
``(c) In order for consent to exist under subsection (a), the person
displaying, or seeking to display, or selling or attempting to sell, an
individual's social security number, or any identifiable derivative of
such number, shall--
``(1) inform the individual of the general purposes for which
the number will be utilized and the types of persons to whom the
number may be available; and
``(2) obtain affirmatively expressed consent electronically or
in writing.

have been discovered by the aggrieved individual.
``(4) The remedy provided under this subsection shall be in addition
to any other lawful remedy available to the individual.

such violation; and
``(B) a civil money penalty of not more than $50,000, if

``(2) Any willful violation committed contemporaneously with respect
to the social security numbers of 2 or more individuals by means of

apply to civil money penalties under this subsection in the same manner

[Sec. 209. Implementation of Steller Sea Lion Protective Measures.--
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the western population of Steller sea lions has
substantially declined over the last twenty-five years.
(2) scientists should closely research and analyze all possible
factors relating to such decline, including the possible
interactions between commercial fishing and Steller sea lions and
the localized depletion hypothesis;
(3) the authority to manage commercial fishing in federal waters
lies with the regional councils and the Secretary of Commerce
(hereafter in this section ``Secretary'') pursuant to the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (hereafter in this
section ``Magnuson-Stevens Act''); and
(4) the Secretary of Commerce shall comply with the Magnuson-
Stevens Act when using fishery management plans and regulations to
implement the decisions made pursuant to findings under the
Endangered Species Act, and shall utilize the processes and
procedures of the regional fishery management councils as required
by the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
(b) Independent Scientific Review.--The North Pacific Fishery
Management Council (hereafter in this section ``North Pacific Council'')
shall utilize the expertise of the National Academy of Sciences to
conduct an independent scientific review of the November 30, 2000
Biological Opinion for the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands and Gulf of
Alaska groundfish fisheries (hereafter in this section ``Biological
Opinion''), its underlying hypothesis, and the Reasonable and Prudent
Alternatives (hereafter in this section ``Alternatives'') contained
therein. The Secretary shall cooperate with the independent scientific
review, and the National Academy of Sciences is requested to give its
highest priority to this review.
[[Page 244]]
(c) Preparation of Fishery Management Plans and Regulations To
Implement Protective Measures in the November 30, 2000 Biological
Opinion.--
(1) The Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the North Pacific
Council proposed conservation and management measures to implement
the Alternatives contained in the November 30, 2000 Biological
Opinion for the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska
groundfish fisheries. The North Pacific Council shall prepare and
transmit to the Secretary a fishery management plan amendment or
amendments to implement such Alternatives that are consistent with
the Magnuson-Stevens Act (including requirements in such Act
relating to best available science, bycatch reduction, impacting on
fishing communities, the safety of life at sea, and public comment
and hearings.)
(2) The Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska
groundfish fisheries shall be managed in a manner consistent with
the Alternatives contained in the Biological Opinion, except as
otherwise provided in this section. The Alternatives shall become
fully effective no later than January 1, 2002, as revised if
necessary and appropriate based on the independent scientific review
referred to in subsection (b) and other new information, and shall
be phased in in 2001 as described in paragraph (3).
(3) The 2001 Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska
groundfish fisheries shall be managed in accordance with the fishery
management plan and federal regulations in effect for such fisheries
prior to July 15, 2000, including--

cooperative fishing arrangements,
and said regulations are hereby restored to full force and
effect.
(4) The Secretary shall amend these regulations by January 20,
2001, after consultation with the North Pacific Council and in a
manner consistent with all law, including the Magnuson-Stevens Act,
and consistent with the Alternatives to the maximum extent
practicable, subject to the other provisions of this subsection.
(5) The harvest reduction requirement (``Global Control Rule'')
shall take effect immediately in any 2001 groundfish fishery in
which it applies, but shall not cause a reduction in the total
allowable catch of any fishery of more than ten percent.
(6) In enforcing regulations for the 2001 fisheries, the
Secretary, upon recommendation of the North Pacific Council, may
open critical habitat where needed, adjust seasonal catch levels,
and take other measures as needed to ensure that harvest levels are
sufficient to provide income from these fisheries for small boats
and Alaskan on-shore processors that is no less than in 1999.
(7) The regulations that are promulgated pursuant to paragraph
(4) shall not be modified in any way other than upon recommendation
of the North Pacific Council, before March 15, 2001.
(d) Sea Lion Protection Measures.--$20,000,000 is hereby
appropriated to the Secretary of Commerce to remain available until
