The Office of Inspector General's (OIG's) 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. OIG concentrates on programs and
operations that have the greatest potential for inadvertent or
deliberate fraud and the related recovery of funds, while at the same
time precluding unnecessary outlays and improving management across the
agency. 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 OIG.

with renovating and modernizing the Herbert C. Hoover Building. The
renovation of the Department's 73-year old headquarters by the General
Services Administration (GSA) will extend the building's useful life by
upgrading infrastructure and removing safety hazards, improving space
utilization and energy efficiency, and incorporating security upgrades.

Regional strategies and a focus on demonstrating performance are
essential components of effective federal economic development policy.
To implement the goals and objectives of the Strengthening America's
Communities Initiative (SACI), the Economic Development Administration
(EDA) will work in partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban
Development to establish a proactive regional economic framework, thus
empowering America's communities to achieve and maintain global
competitiveness. This initiative consolidates a number of duplicative
economic and community development programs, which will allow
communities to avoid having to navigate a confusing maze of Federal
programs to receive funding and will result in a streamlined and more
effective Federal grant-making process.

Regional development account.--To accomplish the competitive grant
component of SACI, EDA will concentrate its resources in a new program
activity, the Regional Development Account. EDA's goal will be to build
regional capacity to adapt to and create new technologies and
opportunities through innovation, entrepreneurship and private sector
leverage. EDA will also fund University Centers through this account as
one element of a region's strategy for global competitiveness.

Planning grants.--EDA will continue to fund its network of Economic
Development Districts and Tribal organizations to design and implement
effective economic development policies and strategies that integrate
with broader regional strategies.

Trade adjustment assistance.--EDA's Trade Adjustment Assistance
investments provide technical assistance through a nationwide system of
Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers that help firms and industries
injured by imports to develop economic recovery strategies.

Performance measures.--In 2007, EDA will track private investment
and jobs generated by its investments and will develop a new goal and
associated measures to track the results of its assistance in supporting
innovation-led regional development. Long-term outcome results will
continue to be reported by investment recipients over a period of nine
years at three year intervals. In 2007, EDA will track that its trade
adjustment assistance programs are providing market-based and value-
added services.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The activities of this appropriation provide for the collection,
compilation, and publication of a broad range of current economic,
demographic, and social statistics.

Current economic statistics.--The business statistics program
provides current information on sales and related measures of retail and
wholesale trade and selected service industries. Construction statistics
are provided on significant construction activity, while 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 program integrates state administrative data and
Census Bureau data to facilitate more informed decision-making by
businesses and state and local governments.

Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly,
cumulative, and annual reports on imports and exports, which covers the
Census Bureau responsibilities under the Trade Act of 1974.

Government statistics provide comprehensive information on state and
local governments. This includes quarterly revenue data 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 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. The Bureau also provides current reports and
future projections on the geographic and demographic characteristics of
the U.S. population. International statistics provide estimates of
demographic and economic characteristics 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. This function also supports 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 as extended
by the 108th Congress to evaluate the impact of welfare reform mandated
by the Act through the Survey of Income and Program Participation. This
funding, along with the requested discretionary funding, will allow the
Bureau to disseminate data collected in 2006 and design a new data
collection system on income and wealth dynamics.

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 support
data collection by Current Population Survey (CPS) 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.--A detailed presentation of performance
measures and targets is found in the Department's 2007 Budget
Submission. A 2005 PART assessment of Current Economic Statistics rated
the program Moderately Effective, finding that while the program
fulfills the critical need for comprehensive economic data, it has
inadequate coverage of the service sector. To correct this weakness, the
Bureau is working to improve the measurement of the service sector,
increase electronic reporting, and systematically review the mix of
surveys within the program to match the sectors that make up the U.S.
economy.

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. 2007 is the third year
in the 2007 Economic Census cycle. The focus of activity for 2007 is the
development of the collection instruments and processing systems to be
used in the 2007 Economic Census. Specific activities include outreach
with the top 500 companies about the census, development and creation of
electronic tools and the Business Help Site to service respondent needs,
execution of a classification mailing in preparation of the census mail
list, creation of the mail frame through the processing of 100+ million
administrative records, printing of millions of report forms, and
development of the processing systems to be used in the 2007 Economic
Census.

Census of Governments.--The census of governments is taken every
fifth year for calendar years ending in two and seven. The focus for
2007 is on determining the universe of governments for data collection
and preparing for most data collection activities that occur in 2008.

Demographic statistics programs:

Intercensal demographic estimates.--In years between decennial
censuses, this program develops annual estimates of the population 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. In 2007,
the program will continue to 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 Decennial 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 a reengineered census designed
to collect the basic (``short form'') data needed to fulfill
constitutional and legal mandates; (2) Continuation of the fully
implemented 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.
In 2007, the Census Bureau will continue to implement all three
components to support the re-engineered 2010 Census.

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 residential and business establishment address
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 Census
Bureau's programs.

[[Page 213]]

Data processing systems.--This activity provides for the management
of hardware and software needed for the Census Bureau's general purpose
computing facilities.

Performance measures.--A detailed presentation of performance
measures and targets is found in the Department's 2007 Budget
Submission. A 2003 PART assessment of the Decennial Census found the
program to be Moderately Effective in carrying out its mission. While
accuracy was improved in the 2000 Census, life-cycle costs have risen
significantly over time. The re-engineered 2010 Census has the potential
to reduce cost growth, through the use of a short-form only census, a
second mailing to non-response households and the use of hand-held
portable computers for data collection. A 2004 PART assessment of the
Economic Census rated the program Effective; the Bureau is working to
increase the electronic response rate and conduct additional independent
evaluations of the Economic Census.

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 picture of the U.S. economy. These
statistics are key ingredients in decisions affecting interest and
exchange rates, tax and budget projections, business investment plans,
and the allocation of over $200 billion in federal funds, including
programs such as Medicaid and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF), among others. 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. production, consumption,
investment, exports and imports, and income and saving. These statistics
are best known by summary measures such as gross domestic product (GDP),
corporate profits, personal income and spending, and personal savings.

International economic accounts.--The international transactions
accounts provide information on trade in goods and services (including
the balance of payments and the balance of trade), investment income,
and government and private financial flows. In addition, the accounts
measure the value of U.S. international assets and liabilities and
direct investment by multinational companies. 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. These statistics are
essential for state government revenue forecasting, the allocation of
Federal funds to the states, and 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.--BEA is working to improve
statistical measures 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 regional and international
trade estimates.

Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) Policy support.--The
ESA headquarters conducts economic research and policy analysis directly
in support of the Secretary of Commerce. ESA monitors and interprets
economic developments and domestic fiscal and monetary policies,
analyzes economic conditions and policy initiatives of major trading
partners, and provides oversight of the Census Bureau and the BEA.

ESA Reimbursable program.--Provides economic and statistical data
and analyses to other Federal agencies, individuals, and firms
requesting such information.

Performance measures.--For 2007, 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. BEA
was rated Effective in its PART assessment and was ranked among the
highest of all federal programs reviewed.

public can use to make intelligent and informed decisions. It
accomplishes this goal through four primary products and services: (1)
STAT-USA/Internet, (2) USA Trade Online, (3) EuroTrade Online and (4)
syndication.

STAT-USA has three ongoing objectives pursuant to the accomplishment
of its mission: (1) Identify new markets for products and services to
increase the customer base; (2) Increase customer involvement to improve
customer satisfaction; and (3) Increase supplier involvement. User fees
from the public represent STAT-USA's sole source of income.

A more detailed presentation of STAT-USA objectives is found in the

The mission of the International Trade Administration (ITA) is to
improve U.S. prosperity by strengthening the competitiveness of U.S.
industry, promoting trade and investment, and ensuring fair trade and
compliance with trade laws and agreements. ITA pursues this mission
through its leadership role in the Government-wide Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee, through reimbursable programs with program
partners and through the major activities of its five programs as
follows:

Manufacturing and services.--This program focuses on both the
domestic and international aspects of U.S. industrial competitiveness by
working with U.S. industries to evaluate the needs of the U.S.
manufacturing and service sectors, including their interests in trade
policy setting; and participating, as appropriate, with ITA trade policy
and negotiation advancement initiatives.

Market access and compliance (MAC).--MAC develops strategies to
overcome market access obstacles faced by U.S. businesses by monitoring
foreign country compliance with multilateral and bilateral trade-related
agreements and identifying compliance and other market access obstacles.
MAC works with other Government agencies to address barriers, and to
ensure that U.S. firms know how to use market opening agreements and to
find other opportunities in traditional and emerging markets. It
develops both current and long-term market access strategies, including
information needed to conduct trade negotiations to open markets. MAC
also provides support for the operation of the established Free Trade
Agreement Secretariats.

Import administration.--This program 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 trade promotion programs intended to broaden
and deepen 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; ensures adequate support for
compliance and leads interagency advocacy efforts for major overseas
projects, including early involvement in project development and
assistance to resolve post-export transaction problems.

Administration and executive direction.--These programs provide
policy leadership, information technology (IT) support and
administration services for all of ITA. 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.

Reimbursable program.--This program includes receipts for services
rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts re

[[Page 217]]

ceived on a cost recovery basis from private entities for trade events
and export information services.

2007 Priorities.--Funding requested for ITA in 2007 will be used to
implement the following ITA priorities: ensuring that China and other
key nations honor their WTO commitments and that market access for
American trade and investment in China and other key economies is
expanded; ensuring compliance and enforcement of all trade agreements,
with special emphasis on intellectual property rights protections;
strengthening Federal trade promotion programs; implementing reforms
recommended by the 2004 report ``Manufacturing in America''; and
supporting the economic component of the Security and Prosperity
Partnership with Canada and Mexico.

Performance measures.--Activities support the Department of
Commerce's strategic goal of providing the information and tools to
maximize U.S. competitiveness. A more detailed presentation of the
goals, performance measures, and targets is found in the Department's
2007 Budget Submission.

The mission of the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is to
advance U.S. national security, foreign policy and economic interests.
BIS's activities include regulating the export of sensitive goods and
technologies in an effective and efficient manner; enforcing export
control, antiboycott, and public safety laws; cooperating with and
assisting other countries on export control and strategic trade issues;
assisting U.S. industry to comply with international arms control
agreements; and monitoring the viability of the U.S. defense industrial
base.

Export administration.--The Export Administration program
administers U.S. export control laws of dual-use items, weapons of mass
destruction, and conventional arms, including removal of outdated export
controls; develops and implements policies that ensure a strong and
technologically superior defense industrial base; and oversees U.S.
business community compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Export enforcement.--The Export Enforcement program detects and
prevents the illegal export of controlled goods and technology;
investigates and helps sanction violators of U.S. export control, anti-
terrorist and public safety laws and regulations; educates the business
community to help prevent violations; and administers Export
Administration Act provisions restricting participation in foreign
boycotts.

Management and policy coordination.--The Management and Policy
Coordination program develops, analyzes, and coordinates policy

The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) provides management
and technical assistance services to minority business enterprises
(MBEs). MBDA's long-term mission is to promote entrepreneurial parity
and wealth creation for the minority business community. MBDA supports a
nation-wide network of centers to provide business assistance,
information and customer service to the rapidly expanding minority
business population in the United States.

2007 Priorities.--In 2007, MBDA will continue to expand its goal of
increasing access to the marketplace and financing for minority-owned
businesses. MBDA will focus on assistance to minority firms with rapid
growth potential and the ability to create jobs and that have an
economic impact in geographic areas with a high concentration of
minorities. Specifically, MBDA will continue to target its client base
to firms with $500,000 or more in annual revenues as well as firms with
rapid growth potential, but smaller annual revenues.

Performance Measures.--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. A more detailed presentation of goals, performance measures,
and targets may be found in the Department's 2007 Budget Submission.

The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment
and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our
Nation's economic, social, and environmental needs.

The 2007 President's Budget supports investment in high priority
endeavors including: weather and severe storm prediction; climate change
research; science to support fisheries management; cooperative
approaches to conservation of fish habitat; and a more effective Coastal
Zone Management Act program.

NOAA executes activities to achieve its mission through the
following six line offices:

National Ocean Service (NOS).--NOS programs work 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 environment.

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).--NMFS programs provide for
the stewardship of the Nation's living marine resources including fish
stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species and their habitats within
the United States Exclusive Economic Zone.

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--OAR programs
provide 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
cooperative institutes and partnership programs.

National Weather Service (NWS).--NWS programs provide timely and
accurate meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and
forecasts to ensure the safety of the 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, which are used by agriculture and other industries.

National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service
(NESDIS).--NESDIS programs operate environmental polar-orbiting and
geostationary satellites and collect and archive global environmental
data and information for distribution to private and public sector
users.

Program support.--These programs provide management and
administrative support for NOAA, including acquisition and grants,
budget, accounting, and human resources. The Office of Marine and
Aviation Operations (OMAO) provides aircraft and marine data
acquisition, fleet repair and maintenance, planning of future fleet
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 can be made available
through annual appropriations for use 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 appropriations 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.--A more detailed listing of goals, performance
measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2007 Budget
Submission.

Goal: Serve society's needs for weather and water information.

This account funds State, Tribal and local conservation initiatives
to help recover Pacific salmon populations. State and local recipients
of this funding will provide matching contributions of at least thirty-
three percent of Federal funds. In addition, funds will be available to
Tribes that do not require matching dollars. A 2002 Program Assessment
Rating Tool Analysis found that the program was not able to target
funding based on the recovery needs of salmon populations. The language
proposed here states that the Secretary will establish terms and
conditions for the effective use of the funds to help address this
concern.

This account includes amounts necessary to finance the cost of
Tricare retirement health care benefits accrued by the active duty
members of the NOAA Commissioned Corps. The Ronald W. Reagan National
Defense Authorization Act for 2005 (P.L. 108-375) provided permanent,
indefinite appropriations to finance these costs for all uniformed
service members. Previously the Operations, Research, and Facilities
account was required to pay the accruing costs using annual
appropriations. As these costs are borne in support of NOAA's mission,
they will be shown as part of the NOAA discretionary total. The 2007
appropriations requested in the Operations, Research, and Facilities
account to fund the NOAA Commissioned Corps exclude funding to make the
health accrual payments. Total obligations on behalf of active NOAA
Commissioned Corps personnel include both the wages and related amounts
requested for appropriation and amounts paid from the permanent,
indefinite authority.

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. These funds
support the Saltonstall-Kennedy grants program for fisheries research
and development projects to enhance the productivity and improve the
sustainable yield of domestic marine fisheries resources. The remainder
of the funds are transferred to offset the appropriation requirements
for fisheries research and management in the Operations, Research, and
Facilities account.

This program provides compensation to commercial fishermen for
damages to or loss of fishing gear 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 2007; remaining unobligated balances are
sufficient to carry out this program for the year.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) administers the
patent and trademark laws, which provide protection to inventors and
businesses for their inventions and corporate and product
identifications. These protections encourage innovation and scientific
and technical advancement of American industry. PTO also provides
technical advice and information to other government 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 to meet their
international obligations relating to the protection of intellectual
property. PTO is funded through fees that are paid for patent and
trademarks; the 2007 Budget requests a program level of $1,843 million
for the agency and full access for the agency to its fee collections.
Legislation restructuring and increasing patent and trademark fees was
enacted for 2005 and 2006, and the Budget requests an extension of these
provisions through 2007. The Administration also plans to submit a
legislative proposal to permanently extend these changes beyond 2007.

Patent program.--The Patent program grants exclusive rights, for
limited times, to inventors for their discoveries. The activities under
this program 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. Resources requested in 2007 will be used to fund additional
patent examiner staff workload; continue the implementation of E-
Government to more efficiently process patent applications;
competitively source the classification and reclassification functions
currently performed by patent examiners; establish a new training
program for new hires; implement retention incentives to retain a highly
qualified and productive workforce; increase patent workforce telework
participation through implementation of a patent hoteling program; and
expand bilateral and multilateral agreements to strengthen intellectual
property rights globally and reduce duplication of effort among
international intellectual property offices.

Trademark program.--The Trademark program provides for the
protection of trademarks through Federal registration. The activities
under this program 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. The 2007 program level provides resources to fund
increased staffing levels, expansion of the trademark work at home
program, and expansion of E-government to achieve a fully electronic
workflow in 2007 that will further improve timeliness and productivity.

The mission of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) is to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology
to enhance productivity, facilitate trade, and improve the quality of
life. To carry out its mission, NIST has an intramural research program
made up of laboratories and technical programs and national research
facilities. NIST also manages the Baldrige National Quality Program.

Laboratories and Technical Programs.--These programs develop and
disseminate measurement techniques, reference data and materials, test
methods, standards, and other infrastructural technologies and services
required by U.S. industry. Eight technical subactivities within this
program concentrate on measurements and standards work in the following
areas: 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 also include centrally managed activities that provide support
to NIST programs, including research to build new capabilities necessary
to maintain state-of-the-art knowledge to address measurements and
standards opportunities, a nationally competitive postdoctoral research
associates program, and computer and business systems support.

National Research Facilities.--These include the NIST Center for
Neutron Research (NCNR) and the Center for Nanoscale Science and
Technology (CNST). As the Nation's premier neutron research user
facility, the NCNR provides an intense source of neutrons used to probe
the molecular and atomic structure and dynamics of a wide range of
materials. The CNST 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
necessary to convert nano-discoveries into products.

Baldrige National Quality Program.--This program promotes 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.

2007 Priorities.--As part of the President's 10-year American
Competitiveness Initiative to significantly increase Fed

[[Page 233]]

eral funding for physical science research, NIST will target $467
million for key investments that promote U.S. innovation and industrial
competitiveness including: expansion of the CNST to improve the ability
to more cost-effectively manufacture products at a nano scale; expansion
of the NCNR to better characterize materials in high growth research
fields; research and standards work to address technological barriers to
hydrogen storage, distribution, and fuel cell fabrication; and research
to improve the understanding of quantum information science that has the
potential to dramatically improve computer processing speeds and enable
more secure communications.

Performance.--NIST labs received an Effective rating on a PART
assessment conducted in 2003. External annual assessments of the
quality, relevance, and performance of the labs are also conducted which
have also found the program to be effective.

This account funds two extramural programs: the Hollings
Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program (MEP) and the Advanced
Technology Program (ATP). The goal of MEP, a network of centers that
provide business support and technical assistance services, is to
improve the productivity and competitiveness of small manufacturers. The
centers are funded from matching Federal and State or local resources
and fees charged for services. MEP was rated Moderately Effective under
a PART assessment in 2002, is considered well-managed, and new centers
are established through a competitive process. However, the centers
offer services that are also provided by private entities and only
recover a third of their

[[Page 234]]

costs through fees. The 2007 Budget reduces funding for the program to
$46 million.

The 2007 Budget proposes to terminate ATP, a grant program for
businesses that was intended to develop new technologies for commercial
use. Given the growth of venture capital and other financing sources for
high-tech projects, there is little evidence of the need for this
Federal program. Recent Congressional treatment of ATP is also
consistent with this proposal--providing $136 million in 2005 with no
funding for new grants, and $79 million in 2006 to cover existing grants
and enable close-out.

Performance measures.--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 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.

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 strives to identify and apply
new spectrum saving technologies and identify adjacent band effects for
use by designers of future communications. NTIA also works with the
Department of Homeland Security on matters involving emergency
communications and Federal Government continuity of operations planning
for communications during emergency conditions.

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. 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, and promotes international trade
opportunities for U.S. telecommunications firms and improves the cost
effectiveness of Government telecommunications use.

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 measures.--A detailed presentation of performance
measures and targets is found in the Department's 2007 Budget
submission. A 2005 PART assessment of NTIA's activities found that
performance was Adequate. While the program fulfills a unique role
through management of the Federal Spectrum, and is important in
advancing the President's Spectrum Policy Initiative, it faces
challenges measuring performance outcomes.

The Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Fund, created by
the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, receives offsetting receipts from the
auction of licenses to use electromagnetic spectrum recovered from
discontinued analog tele

[[Page 238]]

vision signals and provides funding for several programs from these
receipts. The Act specifies that recovered spectrum not dedicated to
public safety use will be auctioned by the Federal Communications
Commission in 2008 and identifies the distribution of revenue. Receipts
exceeding amounts specified for authorized programs will be returned to
the general fund of the Treasury. The Act also provides borrowing
authority to the Department of Commerce to commence specified programs
prior to the availability of auction receipts. Amounts borrowed from the
Treasury will be returned without interest upon the availability of
auction revenue.

Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Program.-- To assist consumers
during the transition from analog to digital television, coupons will be
provided upon request, to a maximum of two per household, to be used to
offset the cost of digital-to-analog television converter boxes. Coupons
may be requested between January 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009, and will
expire three months after issuance.

Public Safety Interoperable Communications.--Grants will be provided
in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security to public
safety agencies to assist efforts to make their communications systems
capable of sharing voice and data signals on the radio spectrum. Public
safety agencies are required to provide, from non-Federal sources, not
less than twenty percent of the costs of acquiring and deploying the
interoperable communications systems funded under this program.

New York City 9/11 Digital Transition.--Assistance will be provided
to the Metropolitan Television Alliance of New York City for the design

(b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shall

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

through his designee the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and

shall develop a national aeronautics policy to guide the aeronautics
programs of the Administration through 2020.
(b) Content.--At a minimum, the national aeronautics policy shall
describe--

fiscal year 2011;
(2) the basis on which and the process by which priorities for
ensuing fiscal years will be selected;
(3) the facilities and personnel needed to carry out the program
through fiscal year 2011; and
(4) the budget assumptions on which the national aeronautics
policy is based.
(c) Considerations.--In developing the national aeronautics policy,
the President shall consider the following questions, which shall be
discussed in the policy statement--
(1) the extent to which NASA should focus on long-term, high-
risk research or more incremental research or both and the expected
impact on the U.S. aircraft and airline industries of those
decisions;
(2) the extent to which NASA should address military and
commercial needs;
(3) how NASA will coordinate its aeronautics program with other
Federal agencies; and
(4) the extent to which NASA will fund university research and
the expected impact of that funding on the supply of U.S. workers
for the aeronautics industry.

connection with requiring an export license for the export to Canada of
components, parts, accessories or attachments for firearms listed in
Category I, section 121.1 of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations
(International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it
existed on April 1, 2005) with a total value not exceeding $500
wholesale in any transaction, provided that the conditions of subsection
(b) of this section are met by the exporting party for such articles.
(b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export license--
(1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any Shipper's Export
Declaration or notification letter required by law, or from being
otherwise eligible under the laws of the United States to possess,
ship, transport, or export the articles enumerated in subsection
(a); and
(2) does not permit the export without a license of--
(A) fully automatic firearms and components and parts for
such firearms, other than for end use by the Federal Government,
or a Provincial or Municipal Government of Canada;
(B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete
breech mechanisms for any firearm listed in Category I, other
than for end use by the Federal Government, or a Provincial or
Municipal Government of Canada; or

temporary import of Canadian-origin items from Canada for end use in the
United States or return to Canada for a Canadian citizen.
(d) The President may require export licenses under this section on
a temporary basis if the President determines, upon publication first in
the Federal Register, that the Government of Canada has implemented or
maintained inadequate import controls for the articles specified in
subsection (a), such that a significant diversion of such articles has
and continues to take place for use in international terrorism or in the
escalation of a conflict in another nation. The President shall
terminate the requirements of a license when reasons for the temporary
requirements have ceased.]
[Sec. 630. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no
department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving

application submitted pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B) and qualified
pursuant to 27 CFR Sec. 478.112 or .113, for a permit to import United
States origin ``curios or relics'' firearms, parts, or ammunition.]

Free Trade Agreement;
(2) paragraph 4 of article 17.9 of the United States-Australia
Free Trade Agreement; or
(3) paragraph 4 of article 15.9 of the United States-Morocco
Free Trade Agreement.]
[Sec. 632. Of the funds appropriated to the Federal Trade
Commission by this Act, not less than $1,000,000 shall be used by the
Commission to conduct an immediate investigation into nationwide
gasoline prices in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: Provided, That
the investigation shall include: (1) any evidence of price-gouging by
companies with total United States wholesale sales of gasoline and
petroleum distillates for calendar 2004 in excess of $500,000,000 and by
any retail distributor of gasoline and petroleum distillates against
which multiple formal complaints (that identify the location of a
particular retail distributor and provide contact information for the
complainant) of price-gouging were filed in August or September, 2005,
with a Federal or State consumer protection agency; (2) a comparison of,
and an explanation of the reasons for changes in,

[[Page 243]]

profit levels of such companies during the 12-month period ending on
August 31, 2005, and their profit levels for the month of September,

information relates; (3) a summary of tax expenditures (as defined in
section 3(3) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of
1974 (2 U.S.C. 622(3)) for such companies; (4) the effects of increased
gasoline prices and gasoline price-gouging on economic activity in the
United States; and (5) the overall cost of increased gasoline prices and
gasoline price-gouging to the economy, including the impact on
consumers' purchasing power in both declared State and National disaster
areas and elsewhere: Provided further, That, in conducting its
investigation, the Commission shall treat as evidence of price-gouging
any finding that the average price of gasoline available for sale to the
public in September, 2005, or thereafter in a market area located in an
area designated as a State or National disaster area because of
Hurricane Katrina, or in any other area where price-gouging complaints
have been filed because of Hurricane Katrina with a Federal or State
consumer protection agency, exceeded the average price of such gasoline
in that area for the month of August, 2005, unless the Commission finds
substantial evidence that the increase is substantially attributable to
additional costs in connection with the production, transportation,
delivery, and sale of gasoline in that area or to national or
international market trends: Provided further, That in any areas of
markets in which the Commission determines price increases are due to
factors other than the additional costs, it shall also notify the
appropriate State agency of its findings: Provided further, That the
Commission shall provide information on the progress of the
investigation to the Senate and House Appropriations Committees, the
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and the House
of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce every 30 days after
the date of enactment of this Act, shall provide those Committees a
written interim report 90 days after such date, and shall transmit a
final report to those Committees, together with its findings and
recommendations, no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of
this Act: Provided further, That the Commission shall transmit
recommendations, based on its findings, to the Congress for any
legislation necessary to protect consumers from gasoline price-gouging
in both State and National disaster areas and elsewhere: Provided
further, That chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code, does not apply
to the collection of information for the investigation required by this
section: Provided further, That if, during the investigation, the
Commission obtains evidence that a person may have violated a criminal
law, the Commission may transmit that evidence to appropriate Federal or
State authorities: Provided further, That nothing in this section
affects any other authority of the Commission to disclose information.]
