The Office of Inspector General's (OIG) mission is to promote
economy, efficiency and effectiveness and to detect and prevent waste,
fraud, abuse and mismanagement in the programs and operations of the
Department of Commerce. OIG's work is conducted primarily through
audits, inspections, and investigations. The audit function provides for
both internal and contract audits: internal audits review and evaluate
all facets of agency operations; contract audits provide professional
advice to agency contracting officials on accounting and financial
matters related to negotiation, award, administration, repricing and
settlement of contracts. Inspections provide detailed technical
evaluations of agency operations. Investigations provide for the
detection and scrutiny of improper and illegal activities involving
Commerce programs, personnel and operations.
The OIG concentrates on programs and operations that have the
greatest potential for inadvertent or deliberate fraud and recovery of
funds, while at the same time precluding unnecessary outlays and
improving management agency-wide. Performance measures indicate the
quality of audits, inspections, and investigations conducted within the
reporting period, as well as the dollar value of financial benefits
identified by the OIG.

This fund finances, on an available until expended basis, the
Commerce Department's expenses associated with the first phase of the
renovation and modernization of the Herbert C. Hoover Building (HCHB).
The planned renovation of the Department's 70-year old headquarters by
the General Services Administration (GSA) will extend the building's
useful life by upgrading infrastructure, improving space utilization,
incorporating major security upgrades and preserving historic features
of the building. GSA and Commerce are both responsible for costs related
to the project, and funding in both accounts should occur simultaneously
so that design, installation, furnishing and moves can be coordinated.

records the administrative expenses for this program, as well as the
subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees. 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subsidies, Congress rescinded $115 million in 2001, $5.2 million in
2002, and $0.9 million in 2003 as the economic outlook for the oil and
gas industry dramatically improved. The authority to guarantee new loans
expired on December 31, 2001.

The administration of EDA's economic development assistance programs
is carried out through a network of headquarters and regional personnel.
The 2006 Budget proposes to consolidate duplicative Federal economic and
community development programs into a new economic and community
development program to be administered by the Department of Commerce. No
new funding is requested for EDA's economic development assistance
programs in 2006. As such, administrative expenses will be used to
close-out and monitor existing grants.
Direct program.--These activities include project monitoring as well
as general support functions such as economic development research,
information dissemination, legal, civil rights, environmental
compliance, budgeting and debt management.
Reimbursable program.--EDA provides grant review and processing
services to other Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis. Funds
received cover the cost of performing this work.

The President's 2006 Budget creates a new economic development
program within the Department of Commerce that streamlines Federal
assistance and targets funding to economically distressed communities
and regions. The President's proposal replaces the current duplicative
set of Federal community and economic development programs with a more
consolidated approach that focuses resources on the creation of jobs and
opportunities, encourages private sector investment, and includes
rigorous accountability measures and incentives. In exchange for
flexibility in the use of funds and reduced administrative burdens, the
program sets strong accountability standards and makes continued funding
contingent on communities' progress towards meeting program goals. In
addition, the program provides a bonus fund for those communities that
have taken steps to improve conditions in ways that have been proven to
attract businesses, including: improving schools, reducing regulatory
barriers to business creation and housing development, and reducing
violent crime rates. This program will provide States and communities
with a source of funding for planning, infrastructure development, and
business financing to help achieve long-term economic stability and
growth.

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. The Improved
Measurement of Services initiative in the 2006 Budget provides a
comprehensive framework for gathering information on services and
improves the periodicity and detail of service sector statistics. The
Mail Security Initiative (included in both the Salaries and Expenses
account and in the Periodic Censuses and Programs account) will support
the initial set-up and contract costs necessary to screen mail processed
through the National Processing Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The
initiative covers screening of survey and census responses.
Construction statistics 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 Longitudinal Employer/
Household Dynamics initiative in the 2006 Budget will fund a database
structure to integrate state administrative data and Census Bureau data
products to facilitate more informed decision-making and better
allocation of resources nationwide.
Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly,
cumulative, and annual reports on the quantity, shipping weight, and
dollar value of imports and exports, by mode of transportation, detailed
commodity category, customs districts, and country of origin or
destination. This program covers the Census Bureau responsibilities
under the Trade Act of 1974. The Improved Automated Export System (AES)
initiative in the 2006 Budget will provide support for the legislatively
mandated use of the AES to produce more accurate trade statistics.
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 social and
economic characteristics of the population.
The Census Bureau compiles 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 of
the United States 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 improve the efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness of
statistical programs.
Survey of Program Dynamics.--Mandatory appropriations provided by
the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 are used to
expand the Survey of Income and Program Participation to evaluate the
impact of welfare reforms made the Act.
State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).-- Mandatory
approprations provided by the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's
Health Insurance Program Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 are used
to produce statistically reliable annual data from the Annual Social and
Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey on the number of
low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from
this enhanced survey are used in the formula to allocate funds to States
under the SCHIP program.
Performance measures.--Activities under the Salaries and Expenses
account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal of promoting
economic growth. The Census Bureau performance goal is to meet the needs
of policymakers, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and the public for
current and benchmark measures of the U.S. population, economy, and
governments.
A more detailed presentation of the goals, performance measures, and
targets is found in the Department's 2006 Budget Submission.

This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic economic
and demographic censuses and other authorized activities.
Economic statistics programs:
Economic census.--The economic census provides data on
manufacturing, mining, retail and wholesale trade service, construction
and transportation industries. The census is taken every fifth year,
covering calendar years ending in two and seven. 2006 is the second year
in the 2007 Economic Census cycle. Program objectives for 2006 include:
1) A comprehensive review of 2002 Economic Census content, products, and
processing; 2) Planning activities that ensure that the 2007 Economic
Census provides relevant and useful information about our evolving
economy; 3) Identifying ways to facilitate and simplify reporting; 4)
Developing processing systems that improve the quality, usefulness, and
timeliness of economic census data products.
Census of governments.--The census of governments is taken every
fifth year for calendar years ending in two and seven. The 2007 Census
of Governments consists of three phases: Government Organization, Public
Employment, and Government Finances. 2006 is the second year in the
five-year cycle of the 2007 Census of Governments. The primary focus for
2006 is planning and implementation of the organizational phase
(including initial data collection) as well as planning for the
Employment and Finance phases. Key objectives are to ensure that the
2007 Census of Governments fully covers the dynamic state and local
government sector, research to identify areas where changes in content
and data collection methodology are required, and a systematic review of
census data products.
[[Page 213]]
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 support annual estimates for
the major components of demographic change instead of the current once a
decade estimate. In 2006, the program will improve its population
estimates for states and large counties, which are used by the American
Community Survey.
Decennial Census.--The Census Bureau is in the process of preparing
for the next decennial census.
The plan for the 2010 Census program features three key components
that focus on reducing operational risk, improving accuracy, providing
more relevant data, and containing cost. The components are: (1) A multi
year planning, development, and testing process that will allow the
Census Bureau to fully develop all major elements of a reengineered
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 and publish the more detailed
``long form'' data on an annual basis, instead of only once a decade;
and (3) Enhancing the Census Bureau's geographic database, referred to
as MAF/TIGER (Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geographic
Encoding and Referencing) through the use of Global Positioning System
(GPS) capability to update and improve street location information and
bring it into alignment with GPS coordinates. Activities in these three
componant areas are highly integrated, complement each other, and form
the basis for re-engineering the 2010 Decennial Census.
In 2006, the Census Bureau continues extensive planning, testing and
development activities, including a major field test, to support the re-
engineered, short form only, 2010 Census. In 2006, the Bureau also will
continue survey implementation and release of data from the ACS. To
enhance the MAF/TIGER system, the Census Bureau will continue a multi-
year effort of alligning map feature locations with GPS coordinates, and
will compete this for 700 of the Nation's 3,233 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.
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 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 management
of hardware and software needed for the Bureau's general purpose
computing facilities.
Suitland federal center office space construction. -- This program
provides for the purchase of furniture and the relocation of operations
and employees to a new facility to avoid disruption of mission-critical
operations.
Performance measures.--Activities under the Periodic Censuses and
Programs account support the Department of Commerce's strategic goal of
promoting economic growth. The performance goals are to meet the needs
of policymakers, businesses, non-profit organizations, and the public
for current and benchmark measures of the U.S. population, economy and
governments.
A more detailed presentation of the goal, performance measures, and
targets is found in the Department's 2006 Budget Submission.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bureau of Economic Analysis.--BEA's mission is to promote the
understanding of the U.S. economy by providing the most timely, relevant
and accurate economic accounts data in an objective and cost-effective
manner.
BEA's economic statistics are among the Nation's most closely
watched, and provide a comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the U.S.
economy. These statistics are key ingredients in critical decisions
affecting interest and exchange rates, tax and budget projections,
business investment plans, and the allocation of close to $200 billion
in federal funds.
The cornerstone of BEA's statistics are the National Income and
Product Accounts (NIPAs), which feature the estimates of the gross
domestic product (GDP) and related measures. Since the NIPAs were first
published, BEA has developed and extended these estimates to keep pace
with the constantly changing nature of U.S. economic activity. Today,
BEA prepares national, regional, industry and international accounts
that present essential information on such issues as economic growth,
regional economic development, inter-industry relationships and the
Nation's position in the world economy.
National economic accounts.--BEA's national economic statistics
provide a comprehensive view of U.S. domestic production, consumption,
and investment, of exports and imports, and of national and domestic
income and saving. These statistics are best known by summary measures
such as GDP, corporate profits, personal income and spending, and
personal savings. The national economic program also prepares and
publishes estimates of the U.S. stock of fixed assets and consumer
durable goods annually.
International economic accounts.--The international transactions
accounts provide information on trade in goods and services, investment
income, and government and private financial flows. They are best known
by summary measures such as the balance of payments and the trade
balance. In addition, the accounts provide information on the U.S.
international investment position, which measures the value of U.S.
international assets and liabilities. These accounts 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 - are
used to assess the role these companies play in the global economy.
Regional economic accounts.--The regional accounts 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 framework and as annual output by each
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. 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 more accurate measures of
services, profits, compensation, new quality-adjusted prices, new
measures of international trade and finance, and accelerated release of
industry and international trade estimates.
In 2006, BEA will make a number of improvements to the timeliness
and comprehensiveness of the Nation's international statistics on
multinational corporations and trade in services to begin to help answer
many of questions related to offshore outsourcing. BEA also proposes to
complete its multi-year program of improvements to its economic
accounts. In 2006, BEA will accelerate the release of three key regional
statistics, incorporate real-time data into GDP and other statistics,
and continue its work to improve data on international financial
transactions. Finally, BEA will complete its work to produce up-to-date,
annual estimates of business investment and employment.
Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) Policy support.--The
ESA headquarters conducts economic research and policy analysis directly
in support of the Secretary of Commerce and the Administration. ESA
monitors and interprets economic developments and domestic fiscal and
monetary policies, and analyzes economic conditions and policy
initiatives of major trading partners. ESA also provides oversight of
the Census Bureau and the BEA and coordinates efforts for budget
requests, workforce restructuring efforts, and strategic planning.
ESA Reimbursable program.--Provides economic and statistical data
and analyses on a reimbursable and advance payment basis to other
Federal agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such information.
Activities under Economic and Statistical Analysis support the
Commerce Department's strategic goal to provide the information and
tools to maximize U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for
American industries, workers, and consumers.
Performance measures.--BEA generally meets and exceeds its
performance targets and has received ``Effective'' ratings under the
Program Assessment Rating Tool. For 2006, BEA will seek to maintain
delivery of all data releases on schedule, maintain an average rating in
customer satisfaction greater than a 4.0 (on a 5-point scale), and
achieve a rating in the percentage of GDP estimates correct above 85
percent. In addition, BEA will strive to accomplish all the ambitious
milestones outlined in the BEA Strategic Plan for 2005-2009.
A more detailed presentation of goals, performance measures, and
targets is found in the Department's 2006 Budget Submission.

The mission of the International Trade Administration (ITA) 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.
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:
Manufacturing and services.--This unit focuses on the domestic and
international aspects of U.S. industrial competitiveness; works with
U.S. industry to evaluate the needs of American manufacturers; assesses
the economic impact of new and existing government rules and regulations
on U.S. manufacturing and service industries competitiveness; and
represents and advocates for the interests of the U.S. manufacturing and
services sectors in the U.S. Government policy setting and regulatory
programs.
Market access and compliance.--Market Access and Compliance (MAC) is
the Government's front-line team working to unlock foreign markets for
American goods and services country-by-country and region-by-region. MAC
concentrates on 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 and emerging markets. MAC
develops both current and long-term market access strategies, including
information needed to conduct trade negotiations to open markets. 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.
Trade promotion and the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service.--The
Commercial Service conducts a variety of trade promotion programs
intended to broaden the base of U.S. exports, particularly of small and
medium-sized firms; provides American companies with reliable advice on
the range of public and private assistance available and knowledgeable
support for all other Federal trade promotion services; offers export
assistance through information, referral and follow-up services through
its integrated global field network; and leads interagency advocacy
efforts for major overseas projects, including early involvement in
project development and assistance to resolve post-transaction problems.
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 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
[[Page 218]]
provided. In 2006, ITA will continue to improve existing products and
services to U.S. businesses.
Performance measures.--Activities under the ITA account support
Commerce's strategic plan. A more detailed presentation of the goal,
performance measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2006
Budget Submission.

sustainable development for the rapidly expanding minority business
population in the United States.
MBDA Goal and Objectives.--In 2006, MBDA will expand its goal of

businesses.'' MBDA will manage its programs with an emphasis on
strategic growth, focusing on minority firms with rapid growth potential
and the ability to create jobs and have an economic impact in
geographical areas that have a high concentration of minorities.
Specifically, MBDA has developed a strategy to target its client base
for firms with $500,000 or more in annual revenues as well as firms with
rapid growth potential but smaller annual revenues.
Performance Measures.--MBDA activities will support the
Administration's theme to provide the information and tools to maximize
U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth for American industries,
workers and consumers. MBDA will strive to maximize access to capital
and procurement contract opportunities for MBEs to significantly
increase gross receipts and job creation within the minority business
community.

National Ocean Service (NOS).--NOS 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.
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).--NMFS 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. NMFS seeks to build sustainable fisheries, recover
protected species, and sustain healthy coastal ecosystems and the
communities that depend on them.
Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--OAR programs
provide the environmental research and technology needed to improve NOAA
weather and air quality warnings and forecasts, climate predictions, and
marine services. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of
scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and joint
institutes and partnership programs. OAR supports research including
national policy formulation in environmental areas, climate change,
weather, air quality, stratospheric ozone depletion, marine
biotechnology, aquaculture, and environmental observing technologies.
NOAA-wide programs also funded in OAR are Climate Change Research, Ocean
Exploration, and High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC).
National Weather Service (NWS).--NWS programs provide timely and
accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and
forecasts to ensure the safety of the
[[Page 222]]
population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic
productivity 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 used by
other government agencies, the private sector, the public, and the
global community.
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service
(NESDIS).--NESDIS programs operate environmental polar-orbiting and
geostationary satellites; collect and archive global environmental data
and information 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 services to NOAA/DOC field offices through the
regional Administrative Support Centers. The Facilities subactivity
provides for repair and maintenance to existing facilities; facilities
planning and design; and environmental compliance. The Office of Marine
and Aviation Operations provides aircraft and marine data acquisition,
repair and maintenance of the existing fleet, planning of future
modernization, and technical and management support for NOAA-wide
activities through the NOAA Commissioned Corps.
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, 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. No new funds are
proposed for this account as unobligated balances are sufficient to
provide observer coverage aboard foreign vessels fishing within the U.S.
Exclusive Economic Zone.
Performance measures.--Activities under this account support NOAA's
goals. Each of the mission goals has key supporting performance measures
as follows:
Goal: Improve accuracy and timeliness of weather and water
information.

An amount equal to 30 percent of the gross receipts from customs
duties on imported fishery products is transferred to the Department of
Commerce annually from the Department of Agriculture.
The American Fisheries Promotion Act (AFPA) of 1980 authorized a
grants program for fisheries research and development projects to be
carried out with Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) funds. These funds are used
to enhance the productivity and improve the sustainable yield of
domestic marine fisheries resources.

This program provides compensation to commercial fishermen for
damages to or loss of fishing gear, including economic loss, related to
oil and gas exploration, development, and production on the Outer
Continental Shelf. The fund is supported by assessments to holders of
leases, permits, easements, and rights of way in areas of the Outer
Continental Shelf. No new funds are proposed for this account in 2006;
remaining unobligated balances are sufficient to carry out this program
for the year.

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 2005 and 2006 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
and assists governments of other countries in establishing regulatory
and enforcement mechanisms so as to meet their international obligations
relating to the protection of intellectual property. Under the
Administration's proposal, the USPTO would have a program level of
$1,703 million in 2006 and offsetting fees of $1,703 million. This
spending authority resulted from legislation, enacted for 2005 and 2006,
that increased and restructured patent and trademark fees. The
Administration plans to submit a legislative proposal to permanently
extend these changes beyond 2006.
During 2006, 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 line 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 2006 will be
used to fund additional patent examiner staff and inflationary
increases; continue the implementation of E-Government in Patents; begin
competitively sourcing the classification and reclassification functions
currently performed by patent examiners, thereby redirecting patent
examiner expertise to the core government function of examination; and
expand bilateral and multilateral agreements to strengthen intellectual
property rights globally and reduce duplication of effort among
international intellectual property offices.

Trademark business. The Trademark Business provides for the
protection of trademarks through Federal registration. The activities
under this business line 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 2006 program level provides
resources to fund trademark programs and increased staffing levels,
including inflationary adjustments. Additional funding is provided in
2006 to continue work focused on achieving a fully electronic workplace
in 2006 that will further improve timeliness and productivity in the
trademark business.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is
responsible for providing the measurement foundation needed by U.S.
industry, Government, and scientific establishments. The NIST
Laboratories intramural research program and the Baldrige National
Quality Program are funded by the Scientific and Technical Research and
Services appropriation.
NIST Laboratories:
Laboratories and Technical Programs.--Develops and disseminates
measurement techniques, reference data and materials, test methods,
standards, and other infrastructural technologies and services required
by U.S. industry. NIST's Laboratories and Technical Programs subactivity
includes eight technical programs that concentrate on measurements and
standards for electronics and electrical engineering; manufacturing
engineering; chemical science and technology; physics; materials science
and engineering; building and fire research; computer science and
applied mathematics; and standards and technology services. These
programs help NIST to fulfill its mission to promote innovation,
facilitate trade, ensure public safety and security, and help create
jobs by strengthening the Nation's measurements and standards
infrastructure. This subactivity also includes three centrally managed
activities that provide support to NIST programs, including advanced
capabilities development in NIST mission-oriented areas of research,
high caliber postdoctoral scientists and engineers, and computer and
business systems support.
National Research Facilities.--Supports operations and research in
two major NIST facilities: the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR)
and the National Nanomanufacturing and Nanometrology Facility (N3F). As
the Nation's premier neutron research user facility, serving the
majority of all neutron scattering users in the U.S., the NCNR provides
an intense source of neutrons used to probe the molecular and atomic
structure and dynamics of a wide range of materials. With measurement
capabilities unavailable anywhere else in North America, the NCNR plays
an essential role in nano-science and technology research. The N3F
leverages the unique capabilities of the NIST Advanced Measurement
Laboratory complex, providing state-of-the-art facilities for
nanomanufacturing and nanometrology where researchers from industry,
universities and other Federal laboratories can collaborate in solving
critical measurement and fabrication issues.
Baldrige National Quality Program.--Extends U.S. competitiveness in
business, health care, education, and non-profit organizations through
performance excellence criteria and other information transfer, and
management of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
Performance measures.--The activities under this account support
Commerce's strategic goal of fostering science and technological
leadership by protecting intellectual property, enhancing technical
standards and advancing measurement science.
Performance goal: The NIST Laboratories promote innovation, trade,
security and jobs by strengthening the Nation's measurement and
standards infrastructure. NIST evaluates performance on this goal
through a combination of evaluation
[[Page 234]]
methods, including external peer review (conducted by the National
Research Council), economic impact studies, and evaluation of numerous
scientific and technical outputs (key outputs listed below).

This appropriation supports the extension of technology to American
industry and fosters the development of broad-based, high-risk
technology by industry.
Extramural programs:
Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program (HMEP).--As a
nationwide system of centers serving clients in all 50 states and Puerto
Rico, the goal of the HMEP is to improve the competitiveness of U.S.-
based small manufacturers. The Program does this by providing
information, decision support, and implementation assistance to small
manufacturers in adopting advanced manufacturing technologies and
business best practices. The Hollings Manufacturing Extension 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. The 2006 Budget proposes to fund the Hollings Manufacturing
Extension Partnership Program at $47 million, a 50 percent reduction
from the 2005 grant level. The Administration's approach will maintain a
strong national network of centers while focusing funding based on
centers' performance and need.
Advanced technology program (ATP).--The ATP was created to help
accelerate the commercialization of high-risk, broad-benefit enabling
technologies with significant commercial potential. ATP provides
competitive, cost-shared assistance to U.S. businesses and joint
research and development ventures to help them improve their competitive
position. No new awards are expected in 2005. Consistent with the
Administration's emphasis on shifting resources to reflect changing
needs, the 2006 Budget proposes to terminate the Advanced Technology
Program.
[[Page 235]]
Performance measures.--The activities under this account support the
Commerce strategic goal to foster science and technological leadership
by protecting intellectual property, enhancing technical standards and
advancing measurement science. 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 international
telecommunications policy and regulatory areas. NTIA will continue to
encourage the liberalization of telecommunication regulations now taking
hold across the globe that create significant opportunities for U.S.
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;
processes approximately 90,000 annual requests for frequency
assignments; and provides support for analysis and engineering aspects
of spectrum management to meet the communications needs of the Federal
Government. 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
Commerce's strategic goal of fostering science and technological
leadership by protecting intellectual property, enhancing technical
standards, and advancing measurement science.
Goal: Ensure that allocation of radio spectrum provides the greatest
benefit to all people.

disclaimers regarding the limitations of the data.
(b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shall
include in all such data releases, language similar to the following
that would make clear that trace data cannot be used to draw broad
conclusions about firearms-related crime:
(1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement
authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale and
possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies may
request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons are not
necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all firearms
used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in
crime.
(2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for purposes of
determining which types, makes or models of firearms are used for
illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute a random
sample and should not be considered representative of the larger
universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset of that
universe. Firearms are normally traced to the first retail seller,
and sources reported for firearms traced do not necessarily
represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general are
acquired for use in crime.]
