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.

Community Service Employment for Older Americans

To carry out title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965, as
amended, $350,000,000.

This program provides part-time work experience in community service
activities to unemployed, low-income persons aged 55 and over. On
October 17, 2006, the President signed into law the Older Americans Act
Amendments of 2006 (P.L. 109-365). This legislation reauthorized and
reformed Title V of the Older Americans Act and provided for important
program reforms, including increasing the percentage of funds available
for skills training and related services, such as counseling,
transportation, and temporary shelter.

Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances

For payments during the current fiscal year of trade adjustment
benefit payments and allowances under part I and section 246; and for
training, allowances for job search and relocation, and related State
administrative expenses under part II of chapter 2, title II of the
Trade Act of 1974 (including the benefits and services described under
sections 123(c)(2) and 151(b) and (c) of the Trade Adjustment Assistance
Reform Act of 2002, Public Law 107-210), $888,700,000, together with
such amounts as may be necessary to be charged to the subsequent
appropriation for payments for any period subsequent to September 15 of

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.

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
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 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

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 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.

Retirees receiving monthly
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.

Without sufficient assets..... 86 140 140
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
charged back to the beneficiaries' employing agencies.

Longshore and harbor workers' compensation benefits.--Under the
Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended, the Federal
Government pays from direct appropriations one-half of the increased
benefits provided by the amendments for persons on the rolls prior to
1972. The remainder is provided from the special fund which is financed
by private employers assessed at the beginning of each calendar year for
their proportionate share of these payments.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
