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.

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;
and improve efficiency, effectiveness, and economy.

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.

LMatters referred for prosecution, indictments, criminal
complaints, convictions, personnel actions, fines, restitutions,
judgments and other civil and administrative recov-

Leries.

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.

Consistent with the Administration's efforts to reduce corporate
subsidies, Congress rescinded $115 million in 2001 and $5.2 million in
2002 as the economic outlook for the oil and gas industry dramatically
improved since the program's inception. In light of the greatly reduced
demand for oil and gas guarantees, rescission of $0.9 million was
proposed for 2003. The authority to guarantee new loans expired on
December 31, 2001.

In light of lower than anticipated demand for steel loan guarantees,
a rescission of $26 million unobligated balances was proposed for 2003
in this account.

The proposed rescission in FY 2004 of the remaining $26 million will
eliminate the subsidy balance left in the program.

The Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides investments
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, increases income in distressed communities, and promotes
greater national productivity and balanced economic growth.

In 2004, EDA will help states, regions, and communities across the
nation create wealth and minimize poverty by promoting a favorable
business environment to attract private capital investments and higher-
skill/higher-wage jobs through capacity building, planning,
infrastructure investments, research grants and strategic initiatives.
EDA's programs will serve as a catalyst for assisting distressed
communities achieve long-term competitive economic potential through the
strategic investment of resources based upon locally and regionally
developed priorities.

EDA will continue to place priority on investments that drive
economic growth, enhance regional competitiveness and support long-term
development of the regional economy while also seeking to greater target
funds to our Nation's communities of highest distress.

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

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

Technical assistance investments.--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 investments.--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 investments.--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 investments.--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.

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, stimulate innovation of American
competitiveness, and advance sustainable economic development. In 2004,
EDA will track the amount of private investment and number of jobs
generated by its investments. For investments made in 2002, 2003, and
2004, long-term outcome results will be reported by investment
recipients over a period of nine years following award. For example, FY
2004 construction and revolving loan funds investments are expected to
create or retain 52,700 jobs by 2013. In 2004, EDA will track its
capacity-building investments to ensure that the planning, technical
assistance, and trade adjustment assistance programs are providing
market-based and value-added services. In addition, EDA will refine its
targets to more closely reflect achievable performance. Below are EDA's
performance goals and selected measures that demonstrated 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. This program will
expand coverage of a new principal economic indicator of quarterly
service industry activity. It also provides annual selected merchandise
line data for retail

[[Page 196]]

and wholesale trade sectors and expands annual coverage of 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 Business Register 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, corporate financial data, e-
commerce estimates, and an economic research program. The E-
Government increase will permit businesses to file electronically in
any one of almost one hundred current economic surveys.
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. This program
accelerates the release of trade statistics, improves export
coverage, and expands the Automated Export System.
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, 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. This program will be considered as part of the re-
authorization of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
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. Data from the SCHIP issued to 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 goals are to meet the
needs of policymakers, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and the
public for current measures of the U.S. population, economy, and
governments and to foster an environment that supports innovation,
reduces respondent burden, and ensures individual privacy.

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
manufacturers, 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.
2004 is the fifth year in the 2002 Economic Census Cycle. The focus
in 2004 is on headquarters processing, including editing, reviewing
and preparing products associated with data dissemination of results
from the core census programs. In addition, information about the
characteristics of almost 2.5 million businesses will be collected
during 2004 as part of the Survey of Business Owners.
Census of governments.--The census of governments provides
information on state and local governments' 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. 2004 is the fifth year in the five year
cycle of the 2002 Census of Governments. The focus for 2004 will be
on completing the employment and finance phases of the census,
including production of both printed and Internet products.

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 nearly $200 billion 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. These
data will also allow for and will provide ``annual estimates'' for
the major components of demographic change instead of the current
``once a decade'' estimate.

Decennial Census.--
The Census Bureau has begun the process of planning the next
decennial census.

The plan for the 2010 Census features three key components which
will reduce operational risks, improve accuracy, provide more relevant
data, and contain cost; (1) Establishment of an early design and
planning process that will allow the Census Bureau to test fully all
major elements of a simplified, streamlined census designed to collect
the basic (``short form'') data needed to fulfill constitutional and
legal mandates; (2) Implementation of the American Community Survey
(ACS) to collect ``long form'' data; instead of having a long form in
2010; and (3) Enhancing the Census Bureau's geographic database and
associated address list, referred to as MAF/TIGER (Master Address File/
Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) by
replacing the internally developed MAF/TIGER system with one that uses
Global Positioning System technology and aerial photography to update
and improve the address and street information gathered at great expense
for Census 2000. Activities in these three areas are highly integrated,
complement each other, and form the basis for re-engineering the 2010
census.

In 2004, the Census Bureau will be conducting extensive planning,
testing and development activities to support the re-engineered short
form only, 2010 Census. In 2004, we also will begin implementation of
the ACS. To enhance the MAF/TIGER system, the Bureau will focus on
correcting the accuracy of map feature locations in 600 of the Nation's
3,232 counties.

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. Implementation of the first new samples will begin in 2004.

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.--This 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

[[Page 198]]

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 purchase or
renting of hardware and software needed for the Bureau's general purpose
computing facilities. The requested increase will provide funding to
prevent disruptions to critical data systems in the event of a disaster
and to protect sensitive data.

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
support the economic and political foundations of the United States by
producing benchmark measures of the economy and population for the
administration and equitable funding of Federal, state, and local
programs; to meet constitutional and legislative mandates by
implementing a reengineered 2010 Census that is cost-effective, provides
more timely data, improves converage, and reduces operational risk; and,
to foster an environment that supports innovation, reduces respondent
burden, and ensures individual privacy.

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, regional and
industry 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 $150 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.
Industry economic accounts.--The industry economic accounts,
presented both in an input-output accounting framework and as a time
series of gross domestic product by industry, provide a detailed
view of the interrelationships between U.S. producers and users and
the contribution to production across industries. These accounts are
used extensively by policymakers and businesses to understand
industry interactions, productivity trends, and the changing
structure of the U.S. economy.

Implementing BEA's strategic plan.--The dynamics of the U.S.
economy, with its growing complexity, technological advances, and
dramatic changes in structure, make it increasingly difficult to provide
an accurate, up-to-date picture of economic activity. Add the effects of
recent events related to national security and the business cycle
turndown, and

[[Page 200]]

it is now more important than ever that government and business leaders
have the most relevant, accurate, and timely economic information
possible. BEA must continually expand and improve its economic accounts
to keep pace with the economy and meet the increased demand for economic
information. BEA is working to overcome statistical weaknesses and close
gaps in data coverage by developing such improvements as new measures of
services and compensation, new quality-adjusted price indexes, and new
measures of international trade and finance. In 2004, BEA will build on
the progress it made in 2003 to accelerate its key economic indicators
by working to release the gross domestic product, personal income and
outlays, and county area personal income on an accelerated basis. The
resulting increase in timeliness will have a significant impact on the
usefulness of these data, especially to high-level policy makers and
business leaders. BEA also will continue to improve the quality of its
measures by filling gaps in its data sources. BEA will incorporate real-
time data into its measures and acquire more information on
international transactions. It also will work to meet the U.S.'s
statistical commitments to international organizations.

Improving information technology.--BEA's statistical processing
systems play an essential role in the production of the economic
accounts. It is critical that they be redesigned to incorporate new
methodologies and modernized to take full advantage of current
information technology capabilities. In 2004, BEA will expand its system
modernization efforts to include the international accounts, industry
accounts, and regional accounts. BEA will continue to upgrade its suite
of software tools (e.g. econometric and database software) that are
critical in supporting timely and reliable economic estimates. BEA also
will expand its electronic reporting capability to more of its
international surveys and will continue to develop new data
dissemination features via its Web site.

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 program.--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 Department's strategic goal of providing the information and
the framework to enable the economy to operate efficiently and
equitably.

Performance measures.--BEA will seek to maintain: 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. In addition,
BEA will achieve specified milestones in improving the economic
accounts, accelerating economic estimates, meeting international
obligations, and upgrading information technology systems.

Goal: Provide relevant, accurate and timely economic data.

The mission of the International Trade Administration (ITA) in the
Department of Commerce is to create economic opportunity for U.S.
workers and firms by promoting international trade, opening foreign
markets, ensuring compliance with trade laws and agreements, and
supporting U.S. commercial interests at home and abroad.

[[Page 202]]

Working as a key part of the Government-wide Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee, ITA will pursue this mission through the
activities of 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 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 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.--Administration 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,
Office of the Chief Information Officer, and the Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee staff. Administration provides human resources
services, financial management services, and general administrative
assistance for the other ITA subdivisions.

Reimbursable program.--This program 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 collect fees to offset the costs
associated with services and products provided. In 2004, ITA will
continue to improve existing products and services to U.S. businesses.

Activities under the ITA account support Commerce's strategic plan.

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; and preserve the coastal ocean and global
environments. To meet 21st Century challenges, NOS seeks to maintain its
suite of navigation, response and restoration, and coastal resource
science and management programs. This funding will help strengthen the
understanding and protection of our valuable ocean resources, as well as
our Nation's economic com

[[Page 206]]

petitiveness by promoting safe maritime commerce through real-time
physical oceanographic data and powerful new digital nautical chart
products. NOS will maintain investments in Coastal Zone Management, the
National Estuarine Research Reserves, the National Marine Sanctuaries,
Coral Reef, and other conservation programs.

National Marine Fisheries Service.--These programs provide for the
management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources and
their environment, including fish stocks, marine mammals and endangered
species. Using science-based conservation, management and restoration
activities, these resources can 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 and other
responsibilities. These increases will allow NOAA to meet its Strategic
Plan goals to build sustainable fisheries, recover protected species and
sustain healthy coastal ecosystems for the enjoyment of all and the
communities that depend on them.

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--These programs
provide the critical environmental research and technology needed to
improve NOAA services (weather and air quality 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 scientists in its Federal
research laboratories, universities, and joint institutes and
partnership programs. 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 Change Research,
U.S. Weather Research, Ocean Exploration, and High Performance Computing
and Communications (HPCC).

National Weather Service (NWS).--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
physical security measures at NWS facilities; to continue Pacific
Islands weather observations; to operate the Susquehanna River Basin
Flood System; and to meet out-year performance goals for weather
warnings and forecasts.

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
including the NOAA Commissioned Corps, NOAA's share of the regional
Administrative Support Centers, and aircraft and marine data
acquisition.

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. Each goal has key supporting performance measures as

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. Federal dollars to the States would be matched with 25 percent
State and local funds. 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

[[Page 209]]

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.

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 2003 and 2004 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 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 and trademark 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.

Under the Administration's proposal, the USPTO would have a program
level of $1,404 million in 2004 and fees of $1,504 million. This
represents a $70 million increase in program level and a $23 million
decrease in fees, relative to the President's request for 2003. The
Administration is proposing legislation to restructure statutory fees in
support of the goals and objectives of the USPTO's strategic plan,
including proposed quality initiatives, e-government initiatives, and
acceleration of patent processing.

During 2004, the Office will continue to operate through two
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, 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.

Resources requested in 2004 are to accelerate implementing e-
Government in Patents by October 1, 2004. Funds are also requested to
begin competitively sourcing classification and search functions
currently performed by patent examiners, thereby redirecting patent
examiner expertise to the core government function of examination.
Additional resources will be used to expand bilateral and multilateral
agreements to strengthen intellectual property rights globally and
reduce duplication of effort among intellectual property offices.

Key Patent Business performance measures follow. These measures
apply to the President's request of $1,404,130,000.

Improve quality of patents by
reducing the error rate............. 4.2% 4.0% 3.7%
Average first action pendency....... 16.7 18.4 18.8

Trademark business.--The Trademark Business enhances the protection
of trademarks through Federal registration. 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 2004 program level provides resources to fund 2004 trademark
programs and staff levels, including inflationary adjustments.
Additional funding is provided in 2004 to continue work focused on
achieving a fully electronic workplace to be completed in 2004 that will
improve timeliness and productivity in the trademark business.

Key trademark business quantity and quality performance measures
follow. These measures apply to the President's request of
$1,404,130,000.

In response to growing backlogs, significantly increased pendency,
and the desire to increase the quality of its products, in fiscal year
2002 the USPTO conducted a thorough top-to-bottom internal review and
developed a new and aggressive strategic plan to address these issues.
The agency determined that, in addition to improving the use of its
current resources, significant new investments were needed in automation
and examiner resources to address these concerns and meet current and
future requirements of the intellectual property community.

In turn, legislation is required to restructure the statutory fees
charged for products and services. Relative to current law, the
restructuring is expected to raise fee collections by $201 million,
which will be available for the USPTO's 2004 programs.

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 endeavors 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 2004 Budget proposes funding for administrative costs
and close-out of the program.
Manufacturing extension partnership (MEP).--As a nationwide
system of centers serving clients 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 among
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. In 2004, consistent with the
program's original design, the President's Budget recommends that
all centers with more than six years experience operate without
Federal contribution.

Performance measures.--The activities under this account support 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 private investment in and development of high
risk, broad-impact technologies.
2. Raise the productivity and competitiveness of small
manufacturers.

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 telecommunication sciences.
Domestic and international policies.--NTIA develops and
advocates policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications
services and markets. 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 the
deployment of broadband networks and services. 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.
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 domes

[[Page 224]]

tically 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 allocation of radio spectrum--a scarce resource
essential to all communications--provides the greatest benefit to
all people.

Spectrum Relocation Fund

(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)

The Administration will again propose legislation to streamline the
current process for reimbursing Federal agencies that must relocate from
Federal spectrum which has been reallocated for auction to commercial
users. Under current law, winning bidders must negotiate with Federal
entities upon the close of an auction and reimburse the agencies
directly for their relocation costs. The Administration proposes to
streamline this process by creating a central spectrum relocation fund.
Auction receipts associated with the reallocated spectrum would be paid
into the fund and Federal agencies would be paid for their relocation
costs out of the fund. To expedite the clearing of the auctioned
spectrum, the legislation would provide agencies mandatory spending
authority for the relocation payments. The estimated mandatory spending
is $2.5 billion from 2005 to 2010. The Budget includes a government-wide
allowance for the estimated aggregated collections and outlays for
agencies' relocation costs.
