    Enacted in 1998, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is the primary 
authorization for this appropriation account. WIA authorization expired 
on September 30, 2003. The Act is intended to revitalize the Nation's 
job training system to provide workers with the information, advice, job 
search assistance, and training they need to get and keep good jobs, and 
to provide employers with skilled workers. Funds appropriated for this 
account generally are available on a July to June program year basis, 
and substantial advance appropriation amounts are provided.

    Adult employment and training activities.--Grants to provide 
financial assistance to States and territories to design and operate 
training and employment assistance programs for adults, including low-
income individuals and public assistance recipients.

    Dislocated worker employment and training activities.--Grants to 
provide reemployment services and retraining assistance to individuals 
dislocated from their employment.

    Youth activities.--Grants to support a wide range of activities and 
services to prepare low-income youth for academic and employment 
success, including summer jobs. The program links academic and 
occupational learning with youth development activities.

    Job Corps.--A system of primarily residential centers offering basic 
education, training, work experience, and other support, typically to 
economically disadvantaged youth.

    Reintegration of Ex-Offenders.--Supports activities to help 
individuals exiting prison make a successful transition to community 
life and long-term employment. The 2008 Budget merges the Prisoner Re-
entry and Responsible Reintegration of Youthful Offenders programs into 
a single program that would provide mentoring and job training to 
promote the successful return of adult and juvenile ex-offenders into 
mainstream society.

    Native Americans.--Grants to Indian tribes and other Native American 
groups to provide training, work experience, and other employment-
related services to Native Americans.

    National programs.--Provides program support for WIA activities and 
nationally administered programs for segments of the population that 
have special disadvantages in the labor market.

    Community-Based Job Training Grants.--A competitive grant program 
for building traning capacity and training workers through community and 
technical colleges.

    Job Corps Transfer.--Provides the administration of the Job Corps 
transfer as shown in the Youth Services activity. By authority of 
section 102 of the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, 
Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 
109-149), the Secretary of Labor issued Secretary's Order 09-2006 which 
established the Office of Job Corps within the Office of the Secretary 
(OSEC) and delegated authority and assigned responsibility to the 
Director of the Office of Job Corps and other agency heads to ensure the 
effective administration of the Job Corps program. The management of Job 
Corps funding, appropriated to the Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA) in 2006, was transferred to OSEC via an allotment 
process. This funding mechanism continues in 2007 since a regular 2007 
appropriation has not been enacted for this account at the time the 
budget was prepared. The 2008 budget proposes to transfer Job Corps 
program and administrative funding back to ETA.

     Legislation will be proposed in 2007 to reform the Workforce 
Investment Act (WIA). The legislation would increase State flexibility 
to administer the programs, require that a greater percentage of 
resources are directed to training services for workers instead of to 
administrative overhead, increase individual choice by offering Career 
Advancement Accounts, and streamline the performance accountability 
system. The proposal would consolidate the Adult, Dislocated Worker, 
Youth Activities, Work Opportunity Tax Credit, Labor Market Information, 
and Employment Service State grants into a single State grant to 
facilitate coordination and eliminate duplication in the provision of 
services.

                                

                           Welfare-to-Work Jobs

    This account included balances of funding for activities of the 
Welfare-to-Work Grants program, which was established by the Balanced 
Budget Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-33) appropriating funding for 1998 and 
1999. Funds were made available for expenditure for up to 5 years after 
they were provided. Public Law 108-199 rescinded 1999 formula grant 
funding in this program that was unexpended on the date of enactment of 
the bill.

program reforms, including increasing the percentage of funds available 
for skills training and related services, such as counseling, 
transportation, and temporary shelter.

    The Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act of 2002 (Division A of 
Public Law 107-210) was signed into law on August 6, 2002. This Act 
amended the Trade Act of 1974 to consolidate the previous Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance 
(NAFTA-TAA) programs into a single, enhanced TAA program with expanded 
eligibility, services, and benefits, which includes adjustment 
assistance, including cash weekly benefits, training, job search and 
relocation allowances. Additionally, the Act provides for a 
demonstration program of Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (wage 
insurance) for older workers.

    Legislation will be proposed at a later date to extend and improve 
the TAA and Alternative TAA programs. TAA will expire on September 30, 
2007, and the Alternative TAA demonstration will expire in 2008.

to conduct in-person reemployment and eligibility assessments in one-
stop career centers of claimants of unemployment compensation: Provided, 
That not later than 180 days following the end of the current fiscal 
year, the Secretary shall submit an interim report to the Congress that 
includes available information on expenditures, number of individuals 
assessed, and outcomes from the assessments: Provided further, That not 
later than 18 months following the end of the fiscal year, the Secretary

that result from the assessments of claimants and identification of best 
practices.
     Of the unobligated funds provided under this heading in Public Law 
107-117 for emergency expenses, $4,100,000 is hereby cancelled.

    Note.--A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is 
operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 109-289, Division B, as 
amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget reflect the 
levels provided by the continuing resolution.

    Unemployment compensation.--State administration amounts provide 
administrative grants to State agencies which pay unemployment 
compensation to eligible workers and collect State unemployment taxes 
from employers. These agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former 
Federal personnel and ex-servicemembers as well as trade readjustment 
allowances to eligible individuals. State administration amounts also 
provide administrative grants to State agencies to improve the integrity 
and financial stability of the unemployment compensation program through 
a comprehensive performance management system, UI Performs. The purpose 
is to effect continuous improvement in State performance and related 
activities designed to assess and reduce errors and prevent fraud, 
waste, and abuse in the payment of unemployment compensation benefits 
and the collection of unemployment taxes. National activities relating 
to the Federal-State unemployment insurance programs are conducted 
through contracts or agreements with the State agencies or with non-
state entities. A workload reserve is included in State administration 
to meet increases in the costs of administration resulting from 
increases in the number of claims filed and claims paid. The 
appropriation automatically provides additional funds whenever 
unemployment claims workload increases above budgeted levels.

    The request for additional funding for in-person reemployment and 
eligibility assessments of claimants of unemployment compensation builds 
upon the success of a number of States in reducing improper payments and 
speeding reemployment using these assessments. Because most unemployment 
claims are now filed by telephone or Internet, in-person assessments 
conducted in the One-Stop Career Centers can help determine continued 
eligibility for benefits and adequacy of work search, verify the 
identity of beneficiaries where there is suspicion of possible identify 
theft, and provide referral to reemployment assistance to those who need 
additional help. The $40 million requested for additional reemployment 
and eligibility assessments is estimated to provide benefit savings of 
$205 million.

    It is important that this integrity initiative and other new 
enforcement investments be fully funded. The Administration is proposing 
to fund them as contingent appropriations. To ensure full funding of 
reemployment and eligibility assessments, the Administration proposes to 
employ a budget enforcement mechanism that allows for an adjustment by 
the Budget Committees to the section 302(a) allocation to the 
Appropriations Committees found in the concurrent resolution on the 
budget. In addition, the Administration will seek to establish statutory 
spending limits, as defined by section 251 of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, and to adjust them for this 
purpose. To ensure full funding of the increases, either of these 
adjustments would only be permissible if the base level for reemployment 
and eligibility assessments was funded at $10 million and if the use of 
the funds was clearly restricted to the specified purpose. The maximum 
allowable adjustment to the 302(a) allocation and/or the statutory 
spending limit would be $40 million for 2008 (see chapter 15 in 
Analytical Perspectives).

    Employment service.--The public employment service is a nationwide 
system providing no-fee employment services to individuals who are 
seeking employment and to employers who are seeking workers. State 
employment service activities are financed by allotments to States 
distributed under a demographically based funding formula established 
under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended. Employment service allotments 
are funded on a program year basis running from July 1 through June 30 
of the following year.

    Employment service activities serving national needs, which includes 
certification of aliens for employment-based visas, are conducted 
through specific reimbursable agreements between the States and the 
Federal Government under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended, and other 
legislation. Funding is provided here to support State administration of 
the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and the Welfare-to-Work tax credit. 
Funding is also provided for amortization payments for States which had 
independent retirement plans prior to 1980 in their State employment 
service agencies.

    One-stop career centers.--These funds are used to support the joint 
Federal-State efforts to improve the comprehensive One-Stop system 
created under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). This system provides 
workers and employers with quick and easy access to a wide array of 
enhanced career development and labor market information services.

    Work incentive grants.--These funds have provided competitive grants 
to improve access to and coordination of information, benefits, and 
services to enable individuals with disabilities to return to work. Work 
incentive grants have successfully demonstrated approaches to improve 
the accessibility to One-Stop services for job seekers with 
disabilities. States and localities are now expected to finance these 
approaches through their base resources for One-Stop Career Centers.

    Legislation will be proposed in 2007 to reform the Workforce 
Investment Act (WIA). The legislation would increase State flexibility 
to administer the programs, require that a greater percentage of 
resources be directed to training services for workers instead of 
administrative overhead, increase individual choice by offering ``Career 
Advancement Accounts,'' and streamline the performance accountability 
system. The proposal would consolidate the Adult, Dislocated Worker, 
Youth Activities, Work Opportunity Tax Credit, labor market information, 
and Employment Service State grants into a single State grant to

    This account provides repayable advances to the Black Lung 
Disability Trust Fund for making payments from that fund whenever its 
balances prove insufficient. The funding requested in this appropriation 
for 2008 is entirely for Black Lung. This spending authority is 
presented as authority to borrow in the Black Lung Disability Trust 
Fund.

    This account may also provide advances to several other accounts to 
pay unemployment compensation to eligible individuals under various 
Federal and State unemployment compensation laws whenever the balances 
in the accounts prove insufficient or whenever legislation allows 
reimbursements to be made. Advances made to the Federal Employees 
Compensation Account in the Unemployment Trust Fund and to the Federal 
Unemployment Benefits and Allowances account are nonrepayable, as are 
certain reimbursements to the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account 
(EUCA), as allowed by law. All other advances made to the Federal 
Unemployment Account and to EUCA (both in the Unemployment Trust Fund) 
are repaid, with interest, to the general fund of the Treasury.

     The revenues of the Black Lung Disability Fund (BLDTF), which are 
derived primarily from coal excise taxes, are insufficient to repay the 
$10 billion debt BLDTF owes to the Treasury or to service the interest 
on that debt. See discussion under the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund 
account for a full description of the Administration's proposal to 
remedy this problem. As part of this proposal, the Administration will 
propose legislation that will provide for a one-time appropriation shown 
in the Advances account to permit the BLDTF to compensate the Treasury 
general fund for lost interest income.

                                

                          Program Administration

     For expenses of administering employment and training programs, 
$121,255,000, together with not to exceed $94,907,000, which may be 
expended from the Employment Security Administration Account in the 
Unemployment Trust Fund.

    Note.--A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been

    This account provides for the Federal administration of all 
Employment and Training Administration programs.

    Adult services.--Provides leadership, policy direction and 
administration for a decentralized system of grants to State and local 
governments as well as federally administered programs for job training 
and employment assistance for low income adults and dislocated workers; 
provides for training and employment services to special targeted 
groups; provides for the settlement of trade adjustment petitions; and 
includes related program operations support activities.

    Youth services.--Provides leadership, policy direction and 
administration for a decentralized system of grants to State and local 
governments as well as federally administered programs for job training 
and employment assistance for youth, including the Job Corps.

    Workforce security.--Provides leadership and policy direction for 
the administration of the comprehensive nationwide public employment 
service system; oversees unemployment insurance programs in each State; 
administers foreign labor certification programs; supports a one-stop 
career center network, including a comprehensive system of collecting, 
analyzing and disseminating labor market information; and includes 
related program operations support activities.

    Apprenticeship training, employer and labor services.--Promotes and 
provides leadership and policy direction for the administration of 
apprenticeship as a method of skill acquisition through a Federal-State 
apprenticeship structure. Employer and labor services will facilitate 
the understanding and responsiveness of workforce investment systems to 
the training needs of employers and the interest of labor organizations 
in training programs.

    Executive direction.--Provides leadership and policy direction for 
all training and employment services programs and activities and 
provides for related program operations support, including research,

    Job Corps Transfer.--Provides the administration of the Job Corps as

Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-149), the Secretary of 
Labor issued Secretary's Order 09-2006 which established the Office of 
Job Corps within the Office of the Secretary (OSEC) and delegated 
authority and assigned responsibility to the Director of the Office of 
Job Corps and other agency heads to ensure the effective administration 
of the Job Corps program. The management of Job Corps funding, 
appropriated to the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) in FY 
2006, was transferred to OSEC via an allotment process. This funding 
mechanism continues in FY 2007 since a regular 2007 appropriation has 
not been enacted for this account at the time the budget was prepared. 
The FY 2008 budget proposes to transfer Job Corps program and 
administrative funding back to ETA.

        The Administration will propose legislation to establish a new 
    fee for applications under the permanent foreign labor certification 
    program. Fee proceeds would offset the costs of administering the 
    permanent program, but not backlog reduction in regional offices. 
    Upon enactment of the fee, funding for these activities now included 
    in the Program Administration account will be reviewed and adjusted.

    The financial transactions of the Federal-State and railroad 
unemployment insurance systems are made through the Unemployment Trust 
Fund. All State and Federal unemployment tax receipts are deposited in 
the Trust Fund and invested in Government securities until needed for 
benefit payments or administrative expenses. The portion of the Trust 
Fund funded with Federal taxes provides repayable advances (loans) to 
the States when the balances in their individual State accounts are 
insufficient to pay benefits. The Trust Fund may receive repayable 
advances from the general fund when it has insufficient balances to make 
advances to States or to pay the Federal share of extended unemployment 
benefits.

    State payroll taxes pay for all regular State unemployment benefits. 
During periods of high State unemployment, extended benefits, financed 
one-half by State unemployment taxes and one-half by the Federal 
unemployment payroll tax, are also paid out of the Trust Fund. In 
addition, the Federal unemployment tax pays the costs of Federal and 
State administration of the unemployment insurance system, veterans 
employment services, surveys of wages and employment, and about 97 
percent of the costs of the Employment Service.

    The Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) provides funds to 
States for unemployment compensation benefits paid to eligible former 
Federal civilian personnel, Postal Service employees, and ex-
servicemembers. In turn, the various Federal agencies reimburse FECA for 
benefits paid to their former employees. Any additional resources 
necessary to assure that the FECA account can make the required payments 
to States will be provided from the Advances to the Unemployment Trust 
Fund and Other Funds Account.

    Both the benefit payments and administrative expenses of the 
separate unemployment insurance program for railroad employees are paid 
from the Unemployment Trust Fund, and receipts from the tax on railroad 
payrolls are deposited into the Trust Fund to meet expenses.

    Legislation will be proposed in 2007 to reform the Workforce 
Investment Act (WIA). The legislation would increase State flexibility 
to administer the programs, require that a greater percentage of 
resources be directed to training services for workers instead of 
administrative overhead, increase individual choice by offering ``Career 
Advancement Accounts,'' and streamline the performance accountability 
system. The proposal would consolidate the Adult, Dislocated Worker, 
Youth Activities, Work Opportunity Tax Credit, labor market information, 
and Employment Service State grants into a single State grant to 
facilitate coordination and eliminate duplication in the provision of 
services. The new consolidated grant will be shown in the Training and 
Employment Services account.

    This wholly owned government corporation administers mandatory 
insurance programs to prevent loss of pension benefits under covered 
private, defined-benefit pension plans if single-employer plans 
terminate or if multiemployer plans are unable to pay benefits.

    Single employer benefit payment.--The single-employer program 
protects about 34.2 million participants in about 28,800 pension plans. 
Under this program, a company may voluntarily seek to terminate its 
plan, or PBGC may seek termination under certain circumstances. The PBGC 
must seek termination when a plan cannot pay current benefits.

    In a ``standard'' termination, plan assets must be sufficient to pay 
all benefits before the plan is allowed to end. That payment is in the 
form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or a lump sum 
payment. After the payment is made, the PBGC guarantee ends. A plan that 
cannot pay all benefits may be ended by a ``distress'' termination, but 
only if the employer meets tests proving severe financial distress, for 
example, the likelihood that continuing the plan would force the company 
to shut down. If the terminated plan cannot pay at least the PBGC-
guaranteed benefits, the PBGC uses its funds to ensure guaranteed 
benefits are paid.

benefits......................        682,820        731,820         780,820

    Multi-employer financial assistance.--The multiemployer insurance 
program protects about 9.9 million participants in about 1,600 plans. 
Multiemployer pension plans are maintained under collectively bargained 
agreements involving unrelated employers, generally in the same 
industry. If a PBGC-insured multiemployer plan is unable to pay 
guaranteed benefits when due, the PBGC will provide the plan with 
financial assistance to continue paying guaranteed benefits, ordinarily 
in the form of a loan to the plan.

    Pension insurance activities.--Includes premium collections, premium 
investments, pre-trusteeship work, and pension insurance program 
protection activities.

    Pension plan termination.--Includes all activities related to 
trusteeship; plan asset management, investment and accounting; and 
benefit administration services.

    Operational support.--Includes the administrative, information 
technology infrastructure, and other shared program support for both 
PBGC's insurance and plan termination activities.

Average time between trusteeship and 
    issuance of final
benefit levels................        2.4 yrs        2.5 yrs         2.5 yrs

    Financing.--The primary source of financing is annual premiums paid 
by sponsors of ongoing covered plans, which vary according to the plans' 
funding level. Other sources of financing include assets from terminated 
plans, investment income, and amounts due PBGC from the sponsors of 
terminating plans. Also, PBGC is authorized to borrow up to $100 million 
from the U. S. Treasury.

    Operating results.--The following tables show the status of PBGC's 
trust funds and PBGC's operating results.

    Legislation will be proposed in 2008 to adjust the insurance 
premiums that underfunded pension plans pay to PBGC. The Administration 
will propose to authorize PBGC's Board of Directors to set the variable 
premium rate, and extend the variable rate premium to a plans non-vested 
as well as its vested liabilities. These reforms will improve PBGCs 
financial condition and safeguard the future benefits of American 
workers.

    Enforcement of wage and hour standards.--The Wage and Hour Division 
works to obtain and encourage compliance with the minimum wage, 
overtime, child labor, and other employment standards under the Fair 
Labor Standards Act, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker 
Protection Act (MSPA), the Family and Medical Leave Act, certain 
provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the wage 
garnishment provisions in Title III of the Consumer Credit Protection 
Act, and the Employee Polygraph Protection Act. Prevailing wages are 
determined and employment standards enforced under various Government 
contract wage standards. In 2008, approximately 230,000 persons are 
expected to be aided under the Fair Labor Standards Act through securing 
agreements with firms to pay back wages owed to their workers. In 
government contract compliance actions, about 18,000 persons will be 
aided through securing agreements to pay wages owed to workers. Under 
MSPA, approximately 1,250 investigations will be completed. Over 1,000 
targeted child labor investigations will be conducted, and in the course 
of all on-site investigations, investigators will routinely check for 
employer compliance with child labor standards. In all ``directed'' 
(non-complaint) investigations, investigators will also routinely check 
for compliance with the employment eligibility verification 
recordkeeping requirements of the INA.

    Federal contractor Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) standards 
enforcement.--The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) 
enforces equal employment opportunity and nondiscrimination requirements 
of Federal contractors and subcontractors. In particular, OFCCP 
enforces: Executive Order 11246, which prohibits employment 
discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, and national 
origin; Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans 
with Disabilities Act of 1990 (through a memorandum of understanding 
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), which prohibit 
employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities; and the 
Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, 
which prohibits employment discrimination against certain protected 
veterans. OFCCP programs cover close to 200,000 work-sites with a total 
workforce of 26 million persons.

    OFCCP monitors contractors' compliance through compliance 
evaluations, with a focus on systemic discrimination cases, and 
reporting requirements. In 2008, approximately 2,660,000 individuals 
will be covered through 8,000 compliance evaluations, 280 complaint 
investigations, and 2,400 other compliance actions.

    OFCCP also encourages and supports voluntary compliance by providing 
compliance assistance to covered contractors. In 2008, 600 compliance 
assistance events will be provided to federal contractors and other 
stakeholders. OFCCP also ensures that Federal contractors and 
subcontractors are provided linkages to recruitment sources for hiring 
and advancement of minorities, women, protected veterans and individuals 
with disabilities. OFCCP honors Federal contractors and linkage 
organizations through the Secretary of Labor Opportunity Awards and the 
EVE/EPIC program for their outstanding compliance initiatives.

    Federal programs for workers' compensation.--The Office of Workers' 
Compensation Programs (OWCP) administers the Federal Employees' 
Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, 
the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act, and 
the Black Lung Benefits Act. These programs ensure that eligible 
disabled and injured workers or their survivors receive compensation and 
medical benefits and a range of services including rehabilitation, 
supervision of medical care, and technical and advisory counseling to 
which they are entitled.

    Program direction and support.--The Program Direction and Support 
(PDS) activity provides centralized leadership, policy, coordination and 
essential administrative support in the areas of human resources, 
information technology; budget and financial management; strategic 
planning; performance reporting; legislative and regulatory analysis; 
employee safety and health; labor relations; equal employment 
opportunity enforcement, and general support services to all ESA program 
components.

    Labor-management standards.--The Office of Labor-Management 
Standards (OLMS) receives and discloses reports of unions and others in 
accordance with the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act 
(LMRDA), including union financial reports; audits union financial 
records and investigates possible embezzlements of union funds; conducts 
union officer election investigations; supervises reruns of union 
officer elections pursuant to voluntary settlements or after court 
determinations that elections were not conducted in accordance with the 
LMRDA; and administers the statutory program to certify employee 
protection provisions under various federally-sponsored transportation 
programs. In 2008, OLMS

[[Page 693]]

plans enhanced efforts to advance union transparency and financial 
integrity protections, primarily through increased union audits and 
compliance assistance efforts. OLMS expects to process 40,000 reports 
and conduct a total of 4,882 investigations, audits, and supervised 
elections. In 2008, the Department will submit proposed legislation 
authorizing OLMS to use civil monetary penalties to enforce reporting 
provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act.

    Federal Employees' Compensation Act benefits.--The Federal 
Employees' Compensation Act program provides monetary and medical 
benefits to Federal workers who sustain work-related injury or disease. 
Not all benefits are paid by the program, since the first 45 days of 
disability are usually covered by keeping injured workers in pay status 
with their employing agencies (the continuation-of-pay period). In 2008, 
140,000 injured Federal workers or their survivors will file claims; 
55,000 will receive long-term wage replacement benefits for job-related 
injuries, diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs of this account are

        The Administration will repropose legislation to improve the 
    Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), which has not been 
    substantially updated since 1974. The legislative proposal would 
    amend FECA to convert prospectively retirement-age beneficiaries to 
    a retirement-level benefit; impose an up-front waiting period for 
    benefits; streamline claims processing; permit DOL to recapture 
    additional compensation costs from responsible third parties; 
    authorize DOL to cross-match FECA records with Social Security 
    records to reduce improper payments; and make other changes to 
    improve and update FECA. These changes would generate Government-
    wide savings of $608 million.

    Energy Employees' Compensation Act benefits.--The Department of 
Labor is delegated responsibility to adjudicate and administer claims 
for benefits under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness 
Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA). In July 2001, the program 
began accepting claims from employees or survivors of employees of the 
Department of Energy (DOE) and of private companies under contract with 
DOE who suffer from a radiation-related cancer, beryllium-related 
disease, or chronic silicosis as a result of their work in producing or 
testing nuclear weapons. The Act authorizes a lump-sum payment of 
$150,000 and reimbursement of medical expenses.

    The Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 
108-767) amended EEOICPA, giving DOL responsibility for a new program 
(Part E) to pay workers' compensation benefits to Department of Energy 
contractors and their families for illness and death arising from toxic 
exposures in DOE's nuclear weapons complex. This law also provides 
compensation for uranium workers covered under section 5 of the 
Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Benefit payments under Part E began 
in 2005.

                                

     Administrative Expenses, Energy Employees Occupational Illness 
                            Compensation Fund

                      (including transfer of funds)

     For necessary expenses to administer the Energy Employees 
Occupational Illness Compensation Act, $104,745,000, to remain available 
until expended: Provided, That the Secretary of Labor is authorized to 
transfer to any executive agency with authority under the Energy 
Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act, including within the 
Department of Labor, such sums as may be necessary in fiscal year 2008 
to carry out those authorities: Provided further, That the Secretary may 
require that any person filing a claim for benefits under the Act 
provide as part of such claim, such identifying information (including 
Social Security account number) as may be prescribed.

    Note.--A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is 
operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 109-289, Division B, as 
amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget reflect the 
levels provided by the continuing resolution.

    Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 
2000 (EEOICPA) administration.--Under Executive Order 13179 the 
Secretary of Labor is assigned primary responsibility for administering 
the EEOICPA program, while other responsibilities have been delegated to 
the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Energy (DOE), and 
Justice (DOJ). The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) in 
the Department of Labor (DOL) is responsible for claims adjudication, 
and award and payment of compensation and medical benefits. DOL's Office 
of the Solicitor provides legal support and represents the Department in 
claimant appeals of OWCP decisions. HHS is responsible for developing 
individual dose reconstructions to estimate occupational radiation 
exposure, and developing regulations to guide DOL's determination of 
whether an individual's cancer was caused by radiation exposure at a DOE 
or atomic weapons facility. DOE is responsible for providing exposure 
histories at employment facilities covered under the Act, as well as 
other employment information. DOJ assists claimants who have been 
awarded compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to 
file for additional compensation, including medical benefits, under 
EEOICPA.

    The Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 
108-767) amended EEOICPA, giving DOL responsibility for a new program 
(Part E) to pay workers' compensation benefits to Department of Energy 
contractors and their families for illness and death arising from toxic 
exposures in DOE's nuclear weapons complex. This law also provides 
compensation for uranium workers covered by the Radiation Exposure 
Compensation Act. Administrative expenses for Part E are covered through 
indefinite, mandatory appropriations provided in P.L. 108-767.

    Title IV of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act authorizes 
monthly benefits to coal miners disabled from coal workers' 
pneumoconiosis (black lung) and to their widows and certain other 
dependents. Part B of the Act assigned the processing and paying of 
claims filed between December 30, 1969 (when the program originated) and 
June 30, 1973 to the Social Security Administration (SSA). P.L. 107-275 
transferred Part B claims processing and payment operations from SSA to 
the Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment Standards Administration 
(ESA), Office of Workers' Compensation Programs. This change was 
implemented on October 1, 2003.

    This fund was established to provide for the accumulation of funds 
to meet the Panama Canal Commission's obligations to defray costs of 
workers' compensation which will accrue pursuant to the Federal 
Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). On December 31, 1999, the Commission 
was dissolved as set forth in the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, and the 
liability of the Commission for payments beyond that date did not end 
with its termination. The establishment of this fund, into which funds 
were deposited on a regular basis by the Commission, was in conjunction 
with the transfer of the administration of the FECA program from the 
Commission to the Department of Labor effective January 1, 1989.

                     Black Lung Disability Trust Fund

                      (including transfer of funds)

     In fiscal year 2008 and thereafter, such sums as may be necessary 
from the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund, to remain available until 
expended, for payment of all benefits authorized by section 9501(d)(1), 
(2), (4), and (7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended; and 
interest on advances, as authorized by section 9501(c)(2) of that Act. 
In addition, the following amounts may be expended from the Fund for 
fiscal year 2008 for expenses of operation and administration of the 
Black Lung Benefits program, as authorized by section 9501(d)(5): not to 
exceed $32,761,000 for transfer to the Employment Standards 
Administration ``Salaries and Expenses''; not to exceed $24,785,000 for

miscellaneous receipts for the expenses of the Department of the 
Treasury.

    Note.--A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is 
operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 109-289, Division B, as 
amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget reflect the 
levels provided by the continuing resolution.

    The trust fund consists of all moneys collected from the coal mine 
industry under the provisions of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 
1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 
of 1985, in the form of an excise tax on mined coal. These moneys are 
expended to pay compensation, medical, and survivor benefits to eligible 
miners and their survivors, where mine employment terminated prior to 
1970 or where no mine operator can be assigned liability. In addition, 
the fund pays all administrative costs incurred in the operation of part 
C of the Black Lung program. The fund is administered jointly by the 
Secretaries of Labor, the Treasury, and Health and Human Services. The 
Benefits Revenue Act provides for repayable advances to the fund in the 
event fund resources will not be adequate to meet program obligations. 
Such advances are to be repaid with interest. The outstanding debt has 
increased from $1,510 million in 1981 to $9,555 million in 2006. It is 
estimated to be $9,998 million in 2007 and $10,435 million in 2008 if 
the refinancing proposal is not enacted.

        The Black Lung Disability Fund's revenues, which are derived 
    primarily from coal excise taxes, are insufficient to repay the $10 
    billion debt it owes to Treasury. Under current conditions, the 
    Trust Fund's debt could never be repaid. The 2008 Budget reproposes 
    legislation to restructure the Trust Fund debt and restore the 
    Fund's solvency. Proposed reforms would (1) refinance the 
    outstanding debt; (2) extend the current excise tax levels until 
    solvency is attained; and (3) provide for a one-time appropriation 
    to compensate the General Fund for forgone interest payments.

    The trust funds consist of amounts received from employers for the 
death of an employee where no person is entitled to compensation for 
such death, for fines and penalty payments, and pursuant to an annual 
assessment of the industry, for the general expenses of the fund under 
the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended.

[[Page 699]]

    These trust funds are available for payments of additional 
compensation for second injuries. When a second injury is combined with 
a previous disability and results in increased permanent partial 
disability, permanent total disability, or death, the employer's 
liability for benefits is limited to a specified period of compensation 
payments after which the fund provides continuing compensation benefits. 
In addition, the fund pays one-half of the increased benefits provided 
under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended, 
for persons on the rolls prior to 1972. Maintenance payments are made to 
disabled employees undergoing vocational rehabilitation to enable them 
to return to remunerative occupations, and the costs of necessary 
rehabilitation services not otherwise available to disabled workers are 
defrayed. Payments are made in cases where other circumstances preclude 
payment by an employer and to provide medical, surgical, and other 
treatment in disability cases where there has been a default by the 
insolvency of an uninsured employer.

shall be the maximum amount available for grants to States under section 
23(g) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (the ``Act''), which 
grants shall be no less than 50 percent of the costs of State 
occupational safety and health programs required to be incurred under 
plans approved by the Secretary under section 18 of the Act; and, in 
addition, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302, the Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration may retain up to $750,000 per fiscal year of 
training institute course tuition fees, otherwise authorized by law to 
be collected, and may utilize such sums for occupational safety and 
health training and education: Provided, That, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 
3302, the Secretary of Labor is authorized, during the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2008, to collect and retain fees for services 
provided to Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories, and may utilize 
such sums, in accordance with the provisions of 29 U.S.C. 9a, to

or fewer employees: Provided further, That no funds appropriated under 
this paragraph shall be obligated or expended to administer or enforce 
any standard, rule, regulation, or order under the Act with respect to 
any employer of 10 or fewer employees who is included within a category 
having a Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) occupational 
injury and illness rate, at the most precise industrial classification 
code for which such data are published, less than the national average 
rate as such rates are most recently published by the Secretary, acting 
through the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in accordance with section 24 of 
that Act (29 U.S.C. 673), except--
         (1) to provide, as authorized by such Act, consultation, 
    technical assistance, educational and training services, and to 
    conduct surveys and studies;
         (2) to conduct an inspection or investigation in response to an 
    employee complaint, to issue a citation for violations found during 
    such inspection, and to assess a penalty for violations which are 
    not corrected within a reasonable abatement period and for any 
    willful violations found;
         (3) to take any action authorized by such Act with respect to 
    imminent dangers;
         (4) to take any action authorized by such Act with respect to 
    health hazards;
         (5) to take any action authorized by such Act with respect to a 
    report of an employment accident which is fatal to one or more 
    employees or which results in hospitalization of two or more 
    employees, and to take any action pursuant to such investigation 
    authorized by such Act; and
         (6) to take any action authorized by such Act with respect to 
    complaints of discrimination against employees for exercising rights 
    under such Act:
 Provided further, That the foregoing proviso shall not apply to any 
person who is engaged in a farming operation which does not maintain a 
temporary labor camp and employs 10 or fewer employees.

    Safety and health standards.--This activity provides for the 
development, promulgation, review and evaluation of feasible 
occupational safety and health standards and guidance. Before any 
standard is proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a 
significant risk of serious injury or health impairment exists; (2) the 
standard will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and 
technologically feasible; and (4) the standard is economically and 
technologically feasible when compared with alternative regulatory 
proposals providing equal levels of protection. Regulatory reform 
efforts include consensus-based rulemaking, development of common sense 
regulations, rewriting existing standards so they are understandable to 
those affected by them, and regulatory and non-regulatory process 
improvements.

    Federal Enforcement.--This activity provides for the enforcement of 
workplace standards promulgated under the Occupational Safety and Health 
(OSH) Act of 1970 through the physical inspection of worksites, and by 
fostering the voluntary cooperation of employers and employees. Programs 
are targeted to the investigation of claims of imminent danger and 
employee complaints, investigation of fatal and catastrophic accidents, 
programmed inspections of firms with injury-illness rates that are above 
the national average, and special emphasis inspections for serious 
safety and health hazards. OSHA's enforcement strategy includes a 
selective targeting of inspections and related compliance activities to 
specific high hazard industries and worksites.

    State programs.--This activity assists states in assuming 
responsibility for administering occupational safety and health programs 
under State plans approved by the Secretary. Under section 23 of the OSH 
Act, matching grants of up to fifty percent of total program costs are 
made to States that meet the Act's criteria for establishing and 
implementing State programs which are at least as effective as the 
Federal program. State programs, like their Federal counterpart, provide 
a mix of enforcement, outreach, training and compliance assistance 
activities.

    Technical support.--This activity provides specialized technical 
expertise and advice in support of a wide range of program areas, 
including construction, standards setting, variance determinations, 
compliance assistance, and enforcement. Areas of expertise include 
laboratory accreditation, industrial hygiene, occupational health 
nursing, occupational medicine, chemical analysis, equipment 
calibration, safety engineering, environmental impact statements, 
technical and scientific databases, computer-based outreach products, 
and emergency preparedness.

    Compliance assistance-Federal.--This activity supports a range of 
cooperative programs, training, and outreach that provide compliance 
assistance in improving workplace safety and health, with particular 
emphasis on small business. OSHA works with employers and employees 
through Voluntary Protection Programs recognizing and promoting 
effective safety and health management; partnerships focusing on the 
development of extended cooperative relationships; and alliances 
committing organizations to collaborative efforts with OSHA. Federal 
agencies are assisted in implementing and improving their job safety and 
health programs. Occupational safety and health training is provided at 
the OSHA Training Institute and associated Education Centers throughout 
the country. Compliance and technical assistance materials are prepared 
and disseminated to the public through various means, including the 
Internet.

    State consultation grants.--This activity supports 90 percent 
Federally funded cooperative agreements with designated State agencies 
to provide free on-site consultation to employers upon request. State 
agencies tailor workplans to specific needs in each State while 
maximizing their impact on injury and illness rates in smaller 
establishments. These projects offer a variety of services, including 
safety and health program assessment and assistance, hazard 
identification and control, and training of employers and their 
employees.

    Training grants.--This activity supports safety and health training 
grants to organizations that provide training and education and develop 
educational materials for employers and employees. Grants address safety 
and health education needs related to specific topics and industries 
identified by the agency. The 2008 Budget eliminates funding for these 
grants, and focuses on increased compliance assistance support.

    Safety and health statistics.--This activity supports the 
information technology infrastructure, management information, and 
statistical basis for OSHA's programs and field operations. These are 
provided through an integrated data network, and statistical analysis 
and review. OSHA administers and maintains the recordkeeping system that 
serves as the foundation for the BLS survey on occupational injuries and 
illnesses and provides guidance on recordkeeping requirements to both 
the public and private sectors.

    Executive direction and administration.--This activity supports 
executive direction, planning and evaluation, management support, 
legislative liaison, interagency affairs, federal agency liaison, 
administrative services, and budgeting and financial control.

    Enforcement.--The enforcement strategy in 2008 will be an integrated 
approach that links all actions to preventing occupational injuries and 
illnesses. These include inspection of mines as mandated by the Federal 
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, special emphasis initiatives that 
focus on persistent safety and health hazards, promulgation of safety 
and health standards, investigation of serious accidents, and on-site 
education and training. The desired outcome of these enforcement efforts 
is to lower fatality and injury rates.

    Assessments.--This activity assesses and collects civil monetary 
penalties for violations of safety and health standards.

    Educational policy and development.--This activity develops and 
coordinates MSHA's mine safety and health education and training 
policies, and provides classroom instruction at the National Academy for 
MSHA personnel, other governmental personnel, and the mining industry. 
States provide mine health and safety training materials, and provide 
technical assistance through the State Grants program.

    Technical support.--This activity applies engineering and scientific 
expertise through field and laboratory forensic investigations to 
resolve technical problems associated with implementation of the Mine 
Act. Technical support administers a fee program to approve equipment, 
materials, and explosives for use in mines and performs field and 
laboratory audits of equipment previously approved by MSHA. It also 
collects and analyzes data relative to the cause, frequency, and 
circumstances of accidents.

    Program evaluation and information resources (PEIR).--This activity 
provides program evaluation and information technology resource 
management services for the agency. Additionally, PEIR is responsible 
for meeting the requirements of the Government Performance and Results 
Act (GPRA) and developing MSHA's performance plan and Annual Performance 
Report.

    Program administration.--This activity performs general 
administrative functions.

Corps funding, appropriated to the Employment and Training 
Administration (ETA) in 2006, was transferred to OSEC via an allotment 
process. This funding mechanism continues in 2007 since a regular 2007 
appropriation has not been enacted for this account at the time the 
budget was prepared. The 2008 budget proposes to transfer Job Corps 
program and administrative funding back to ETA.

    Office of Disability Employment Policy.--This office provides 
leadership in developing policy to eliminate employment barriers to 
people with disabilities. It works within DOL and in collaboration with 
other Federal agencies to develop policy based on research and analysis 
of specific areas of policy inquiry in employment, training and 
retraining, recruitment, retention, and employment support services. 
ODEP derives effective evidence-based strategies from these activities, 
which are disseminated by the office through its technical assistance 
projects to public and private sector entities that facilitate their 
implementation. ODEP's strategies, including conducting research, 
providing technical assistance, and actively collaborating with relevant 
entities, inform future policy development and contribute to the 
office's continual building of effective strategies to increase the 
workforce participation by people with disabilities.

    The Office of Disability Employment Policy brings a heightened and 
permanent long-term focus on increasing employment of persons with 
disabilities. The office achieves this goal by developing innovative and 
comprehensive policy on matters of or affecting employment of people 
with disabilities. Funding is used to develop policy and facilitate its 
adoption, and to identify, test, evaluate and disseminate strategies 
designed to increase the number of youth and adults with disabilities 
who enter, re-enter, remain, and are promoted in the workforce.

    Program activities.--The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducts 
audits, investigations, and evaluations that improve

[[Page 706]]

the effectiveness, efficiency, and economy of departmental programs and 
operations. It addresses DOL program fraud and labor racketeering in the 
American workplace, provides technical assistance to DOL program 
agencies, and advice to the Secretary and the Congress on how to attain 
the highest possible program performance. The Office of Audit performs 
audits of the Department's financial statements, programs, activities, 
and systems to determine whether information is reliable, controls are 
effective, and resources are safeguarded. It also ensures funds are 
expended in a manner consistent with laws and regulations, and with 
achieving the desired program results. The Office of Labor Racketeering 
and Fraud Investigations conducts investigations to detect and deter 
fraud, waste, and abuse in departmental programs. It also identifies and 
reduces labor racketeering and corruption in employee benefit plans, 
labor management relations, and internal union affairs. Due to a large 
backlog of Single Audit Act reports that the OIG received from the 
Single Audit Clearinghouse, and a significant increase in the number of 
single claimant unemployment investigations conducted following the 2005 
Hurricanes, the OIG completed significantly more audits and 
investigations than anticipated in Presidents 2006 Budget. These numbers 
reflect an isolated increase. The OIG's labor racketeering program will 
expand its investigation of Gulf Coast Reconstruction and Unemployment 
Insurance (UI) fraud in 2008. The OIG has also shifted its investigative 
focus in the UI program and in the Department's foreign labor 
certification programs to more complex and higher-impact fraud schemes 
involving multiple defendants. Relative to traditional single claimant 
cases in the UI and Federal Employees Compensation Act programs, these 
cases yield substantial results. However, their increased complexity 
also affects the number of cases the Department expects to close in 2007 
and 2008.

    Jobs for Veterans State grants.--The Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) of 
2002 provides the foundation for this budget activity. The JVA requires 
the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) to promulgate 
policies and regulations that ensure maximum employment and training 
opportunities for veterans and priority of service for veterans within 
the State workforce delivery system. Under the JVA, resources are 
allocated to States to support Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) 
specialists and Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVER).

    Disabled Veterans Outreach Program specialists (38 U.S.C. 4103A) 
provide intensive services to meet the employment needs of eligible 
veterans. DVOPs place maximum emphasis on helping economically or 
educationally disadvantaged veterans. Priority of service (38 U.S.C. 
4215) is given to special

[[Page 707]]

disabled veterans, other disabled veterans, and other eligible veterans.

    Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (38 U.S.C. 4104) conduct 
outreach to employers as well as assist veterans in gaining employment 
by conducting job search workshops and establishing job search support 
groups. LVERs also facilitate employment, training, and placement 
services provided to veterans under the applicable State employment 
service delivery system, including One-Stop Career Centers. In addition, 
each LVER provides reports to the manager of the State employment 
service delivery system and to the State Director for Veterans 
Employment and Training (38 U.S.C. 4103) regarding the State's 
compliance with Federal law and regulations with respect to special 
services and priorities for eligible veterans.

    The State grants budget activity also supports the Transition 
Assistance Program (TAP). VETS coordinates with the Departments of 
Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security to provide transition 
assistance to military servicemembers separating from active duty. The 
TAP program is implemented worldwide and provides labor-market and 
employment-related information and other services to separating 
servicemembers. The goal of TAP is to expedite and facilitate the 
transition from military to civilian employment.

    Federal management.--VETS' Federal management (38 U.S.C. 4102-4103A) 
budget activity carries out programs and develops policies to meet the 
employment and training needs of veterans. Based upon the most recent 
cost accounting data, the majority of VETS' Federal management resources 
are dedicated to Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights 
(USERRA) compliance and outreach activities, whereby VETS investigates 
complaints to help veterans, reservists, and members of the National 
Guard obtain their employment and reemployment rights (38 U.S.C. 4301 et 
seq.). Veterans' Preference activities, which are intended to assist 
veterans obtain Federal employment (39 U.S.C. 4214), are also supported 
under this activity.

    Resources under this activity are also used to evaluate the job 
training and employment assistance services to veterans and support 
field activities and personnel who provide technical assistance to 
States to ensure they meet negotiated performance goals. VETS' staff 
works with States to provide incentive awards for outstanding 
performance (38 U.S.C. 4112). This budget activity also funds outreach 
and education efforts, such as job fairs, that raise the awareness of 
employers about the benefits of hiring veterans.

    The REALifeLines initiative facilitates timely and comprehensive 
employment services to our Nation's severely wounded and injured 
veterans.

    National Veterans' Employment and Training Services Institute.--The 
National Veterans Training Institute (NVTI) supplies competency-based 
training to Federal and State providers of services to veterans (38 
U.S.C. 4109). NVTI is administered through a contract and supported by 
dedicated funds. NVTI ensures that these service providers receive a 
comprehensive foundation so they can effectively assist job-seeking 
veterans.

    Homeless veterans' reintegration program.--The Homeless Veterans' 
Reintegration Program (HVRP) (38 U.S.C. 2021) provides grants to States 
or other public entities, as well as non-profits, including faith-based 
organizations. Grant awards enable grantees to operate employment 
programs to reach out to homeless veterans and help them become 
employed. VETS partners with the Departments of Veterans Affairs and 
Housing and Urban Development to promote multi-agency-funded programs 
that integrate the different services needed by homeless veterans. HVRP 
grants are provided for both urban and rural areas.

    Veterans' workforce investment program.--The Veterans' Workforce 
Investment Program (VWIP) (Section 168 of P.L. 105-220) provides 
competitive grants geared toward training and retraining to create 
employment opportunities for veterans in high-skill occupations, and to 
meet employer demands. VETS is developing five VWIP pilot programs, to 
be implemented nationwide, that will promote licensing and certification 
of veterans who are transitioning from military service to high growth 
professions.
