    The Office of Inspector General's (OIG's) mission is to promote 
economy, efficiency and effectiveness and to detect and prevent waste, 
fraud, abuse and mismanagement in the programs and operations of the 
Department of Commerce. OIG's work is conducted primarily through 
audits, inspections and investigations. OIG concentrates on programs and 
operations that have the greatest potential for inadvertent or 
deliberate fraud and the related recovery of funds, while at the same 
time precluding unnecessary outlays and improving management across the 
agency. Performance measures indicate the quality of audits, 
inspections, and investigations conducted within the reporting period, 
as well as the dollar value of financial benefits identified by OIG.

    To help distressed communities compete globally in the 21st century, 
the Economic Development Administration (EDA) will promote regional 
economic development efforts that benefit distressed communities, and 
especially distressed rural communities. In 2008, EDA will facilitate 
the streamlining of its application process into a comprehensive, 
simplified procedure under the Regional Development Account (RDA) that 
is easier and quicker for applicants to access. Under the RDA, the 
parameters of EDA's programs, eligibility requirements, and targeting of 
economic development to distressed areas will remain unchanged. In 
addition, EDA will work to create a broader and more collaborative role 
for its vital partners: Economic Development Districts, University 
Centers and Indian Tribes.

    Regional development account.--EDA will continue to support its 
traditional programs of infrastructure development, capacity building, 
and technical assistance through a more streamlined process that will be 
more user-friendly and flexible for EDA investment partners (grantees). 
The RDA will increase EDA's efficiency by providing a single, flexible 
program account that will avoid the challenges inherent in accessing 
multiple funds, accounting, and management. The RDA construct will 
enable investment partners (grantees) to engage simultaneously in 
multiple activities in support of a common initiative with just one EDA 
grant (e.g., infrastructure and technical assistance) or to focus on 
comprehensive investments for different phases of a development project 
that could span several years. With the exception of the Planning 
program, the RDA will encompass all EDA programs authorized under the 
Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended (PWEDA), 
including Public Works, Technical Assistance, Research and Evaluation, 
Economic Adjustment Assistance and Defense Economic Adjustment 
Assistance. The RDA will not include the Trade Adjustment Assistance for 
Firms Program, which is authorized under the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, and will continue to be funded separately.

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

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

    Performance measures.--In 2008, EDA will track private investment 
and jobs generated by its investments and will develop a new goal and 
associated measures to track the results of its assistance in supporting 
innovation-led regional development. Long-term outcome results will 
continue to be reported by investment recipients over a period of nine 
years at three year intervals. In 2008, EDA will track its trade 
adjustment assistance investments to ensure they are providing market-
based and value-added services.

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

    Current economic statistics.--The business statistics program 
provides current information on sales and related measures of retail and 
wholesale trade and selected service industries. Construction statistics 
are provided on significant construction activity, while manufacturing 
statistics survey key industrial commodities and manufacturing 
activities, providing current statistics on the quantity and value of 
industrial output. The 2008 Budget includes an initiative to close the 
current gap in service sector coverage. Expanding coverage of the 
service sector is critical to improving the accuracy of Gross Domestic 
Product (GDP) and other principal economic indicators.

    General economic statistics provide a Business Register of all U.S. 
business firms and their establishments, uniform classification data 
based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), 
annual county business data, corporate financial data, e-commerce 
estimates, and an economic research program. The Bureau's Center for 
Economic Studies is undertaking work to improve the utility of Federal 
data on minority and women-owned businesses. In the year ahead, the 
Center will extend this initiative by linking survey data with the 
Longitudinal Research Database and the Business Register, within 
existing resources. Using appropriate tax return data to update survey 
series, this work will develop information on how minority and women-
owned businesses fare over time under various economic circumstances.

    Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly and 
annual reports on imports and exports, which covers the Census Bureau's 
responsibilities under the Trade Act of 1974. Government statistics 
provide comprehensive information on state and local governments. This 
includes quarterly revenue data on the national level by type of tax and 
governmental level and provides information on financial assistance 
programs of the Federal Government.

    Current demographic statistics.--Household surveys provide 
information on the social and economic characteristics of the 
population. The Census Bureau compiles statistics on the Nation's 
housing inventory and provides national and regional estimates of 
housing vacancy rates. The Census Bureau also provides current reports 
and future projections on the geographic and demographic characteristics 
of the U.S. popu

[[Page 191]]

lation. International statistics provide estimates of demographic and 
economic characteristics for various countries.

    Survey development and data services.--The Statistical Abstract of 
the United States summarizes Government and private statistics of the 
industrial, social, political, and economic activities of the United 
States. This function also supports general research on survey methods 
and techniques to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness of 
statistical programs.

    Survey of program dynamics.--This program is supported by mandatory 
appropriations provided by the Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Act of 1996, as reauthorized by the 109th Congress, to 
provide data necessary to determine the impact of welfare provisions. 
This funding, along with the requested discretionary funding, will allow 
the Census Bureau to disseminate data on program participation collected 
in 2006 and 2007 and design a new data collection system on the dynamics 
of economic well-being.

    State children's health insurance program (SCHIP).--Mandatory 
appropriations provided by the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's 
Health Insurance Program Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 support 
data collection by the Current Population Survey (CPS) on the number of 
low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from 
this enhanced survey are used in the formula to allocate funds to States 
under the SCHIP program.

    Performance measures.--A detailed presentation of performance 
measures and targets is found in the Department's 2008 Budget 
Submission.

    This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic economic 
and demographic censuses and other authorized activities.

    Economic statistics programs:

    Economic census.--The economic census provides data on 
manufacturing, utilities, mining, retail and wholesale trade service, 
construction and transportation industries. The census is taken every 
fifth year, covering calendar years ending in two and seven. 2008 is the 
fourth year in the 2007 Economic Census Cycle. The primary focus in 2008 
is the data collection and processing of economic census returns.

    Census of governments.--The census of governments is taken every 
fifth year for calendar years ending in two and seven. The focus for 
2008 is the collection and processing of data for the employment phase; 
data collection and processing of information from states and other 
sources for the finance phase; and creation of the universe frame and 
development of organizational information for the organization phase of 
the census.

[[Page 192]]

    Demographic statistics programs:

    Intercensal demographic estimates.--In years between decennial 
censuses, this program develops annual estimates of the population for 
the Nation, states, metropolitan areas, counties and functioning 
governmental units. These data are used for a variety of purposes 
including the allocation of nearly $200 billion in Federal funds, as 
controls for a variety of federally sponsored surveys, as denominators 
for vital statistics and other health and economic indicators, and for a 
variety of Federal, state, and private program planning needs.

    2010 decennial census program.--The Census Bureau is preparing for a 
reegineered, short-form only 2010 Census. The 2010 Census program 
features three key components designed to reduce risk, improve accuracy, 
provide more relevant data, and contain cost. They are: (1) a rigorous, 
multi-year planning, development, and testing process; (2) continuation 
of the fully implemented American Community Survey (ACS) to replace the 
census long-form and provide detailed data annually; and (3) enhancing 
the Census Bureau's geographic database by correcting and aligning 
street location information with Global Positioning System (GPS) 
coordinates.

    In 2008, the Census Bureau will increase staff and operations to 
conduct a Dress Rehearsal, in which all aspects of the 2010 Census 
operation will be tested. The Bureau will also continue to support its 
two major contracts to provide handheld computers and other 
telecommunications systems, and automated data processing systems. The 
Bureau will continue to conduct the ACS and align streets with GPS 
coordinates.

    Demographic surveys sample redesign.--The demographic surveys sample 
redesign program takes updated information on the location and 
characteristics of the American population and uses that up-to-date 
snapshot to select representative samples of the population. These new, 
representative samples then become the basis for major household surveys 
conducted by Federal agencies until the next sample redesign. The 
purpose of this program is to minimize total survey costs for the 
desired level of reliability.

    Geographic support.--This activity's goal is to determine the 
correct location of every residential and business establishment address 
in the U.S. and its territories. Major components include the Master 
Address File (MAF), a geographically-assigned address list for the 
nation, and the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and 
Referencing (TIGER) database, which provides maps and geographic 
information for data tabulation. Together, they provide essential 
information and products critical for conducting many of the Census 
Bureau's programs.

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

    Performance measures.--A detailed presentation of performance 
measures and targets is found in the Department's 2008 Budget 
Submission.

    Bureau of Economic Analysis.--The mission of the Bureau of Economic 
Analysis (BEA) is to promote the understanding of the U.S. economy by 
providing the most timely, relevant, and accurate economic accounts data 
in an objective and cost-effective manner. BEA's economic statistics are 
among the Nation's most closely watched and provide a comprehensive 
picture of the U.S. economy. These statistics are key ingredients in 
decisions affecting interest and exchange rates, tax and budget 
projections, business investment plans, and the allocation of over $215 
billion in federal funds, including programs such as Medicaid and 
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), among others. BEA 
prepares national, regional, industry and international accounts that 
present essential information on such issues as economic growth, 
regional economic development, inter-industry relationships and the 
Nation's position in the world economy.

    National economic accounts.--BEA's national economic accounts 
provide a comprehensive view of U.S. production, consumption, 
investment, exports and imports, and income and saving. These statistics 
are best known by summary measures such as gross domestic product (GDP), 
corporate profits, personal income and spending, and personal savings.

    International economic accounts.--The international transactions 
accounts provide information on trade in goods and services, investment 
income, and government and private financial flows. The international 
investment position accounts measure the value of the U.S. international 
assets and liabilities. In addition, BEA's data on direct investment, 
the most comprehensive data on multinational companies available, are 
used to assess the impact of these companies on the U.S. and foreign 
economies.

    Regional economic accounts.--The regional accounts provide data on 
total and per capita personal income by region, state, metropolitan 
area, and county, and on gross domestic product by state. These 
statistics are essential for state government revenue forecasting, the 
allocation of Federal funds to the states, and private sector investment 
decisions.

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

    Over the last few decades, intangible investments like research and 
development (R&D) have become a critical component of the Nation's 
economy. The 2008 Budget includes an initiative to begin incorporating 
R&D investments into GDP and the other national accounts. R&D is one of 
the larger

[[Page 194]]

and more important investments driving the Nation's economic growth. 
This initiative will allow BEA to accelerate its work in expanding the 
national accounts to measure these critical investments. This work is 
essential for BEA to continue to accurately measure the Nation's 
diversifying economy.

    Implementing BEA's strategic plan.--BEA continues to work to update 
its statistical measures and close gaps in data coverage. The BEA 
strategic plan for 2008 calls for efforts to continue to improve the 
accuracy of measures on services, profits, compensation, international 
trade in services, and off-shoring. The plan also calls on BEA to extend 
the prototype R&D accounts, funded by the National Science Foundation in 
2006 and 2007, and supported by the 2008 Budget, with supplementary 
updates and extensions to BEA's GDP and other estimates between 2008 and 
2012, with full incorporation in 2013.

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

    ESA Reimbursable program.--This program provides economic and 
statistical data and analyses to other Federal agencies, individuals, 
and firms requesting such information. In addition, the Census Bureau 
and BEA reimburse ESA headquarters for certain administrative, 
financial, and policy services.

    Performance measures.--For 2008, BEA will seek to maintain delivery 
of all data releases on schedule, maintain an average rating in customer 
satisfaction greater than a 4.0 (on a 5-point scale), and achieve a 
rating in the percentage of GDP estimates correct above 85 percent.

    The Economic and Statistics Administration operates STAT-USA, a 
revolving fund activity that provides the public with access to key 
business, economic, and international trade information. STAT-USA's 
mission is to compile and disseminate world-class business, economic, 
and government information products that American businesses and the 
public can use to make intelligent and informed decisions. It 
accomplishes this goal through four primary products and services: (1) 
STAT-USA/Internet, (2) USA Trade Online, (3) EuroTrade Online and (4) 
syndication.

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

    A more detailed presentation of STAT-USA objectives is found in the 
Department's 2008 Budget Submission.

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

    Manufacturing and services.--This program focuses on both the 
domestic and international aspects of U.S. industrial competitiveness by 
working with U.S. industries to evaluate the needs of the U.S. 
manufacturing and service sectors; conducting economic and regulatory 
analysis to strengthen U.S. industry; obtaining input and advice from 
U.S. industries for trade policy setting; and participating, as 
appropriate, with ITA trade policy and negotiation advancement 
initiatives.

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

    Import administration.--This program investigates antidumping and 
countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with applicable U.S. 
statutes and administers certain other statutory programs relating to 
imports and foreign trade zones.

    Trade promotion and the U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service.--The 
Commercial Service conducts trade promotion programs intended to broaden 
and deepen the base of U.S. exports, particularly of small and medium-
sized firms; provides American companies with reliable advice on the 
range of public and private assistance available and knowledgeable 
support for all other Federal trade promotion services; offers export 
assistance through information, referral and follow-up services through 
its integrated global field network; ensures adequate support for 
compliance and leads interagency advocacy efforts for major overseas 
projects, including early involvement in project development and 
assistance to resolve

[[Page 196]]

post-export transaction problems. The Commercial Service also maintains 
the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee staff.

    Administration and executive direction.--These programs provide 
policy leadership, information technology (IT) support and 
administration services for all of ITA. Executive Direction includes the 
Office of the Under Secretary for International Trade and subordinate 
offices covering Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, Public 
Affairs, and the Office of the Chief Information Officer.

    Reimbursable program.--This program includes receipts for services 
rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts received on a cost-
recovery basis from private entities for trade events and export 
information services.

    Performance measures.--Activities support the Department of 
Commerce's strategic goal of providing the information and tools to 
maximize U.S. competitiveness. A more detailed presentation of goals, 
performance measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2008 
Budget Submission.

    The mission of the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is to 
advance U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic objectives 
by ensuring an effective export control and treaty compliance system 
that promotes continued U.S. strategic technology leadership. BIS 
regulates the export of sensitive goods and technologies in an effective 
and efficient manner; enforces export controls, anti-boycott compliance, 
and public safety laws; cooperates with and assists other countries on 
export control and strategic trade issues; assists U.S. industry in 
complying with international arms agreements; monitors the viability of 
the U.S. defense industrial base; evaluates the effects of national 
security of foreign investments in U.S. companies; and supports 
continued U.S. technology leadership in industries that are essential to 
national security.

    Management and Policy Coordination (MPC).--The Management and Policy 
Coordination program supports all Bureau performance goals. MPC 
develops, analyzes, and coordinates policy initiatives within BIS and on 
an interagency basis. This activity includes resources for BIS 
engagement with other agencies to strengthen the capability of foreign 
countries to control strategic exports and to help stop the diversion of 
sensitive items.

    Export Administration (EA).--The Export Administration carries out 
BIS programs related to export control regulations, export licenses, 
treaty compliance, treaty obligations relating to weapons of mass 
destruction, and the defense industrial and technology base to meet 
national security needs. EA regulates the export of dual-use items 
determined to require export licenses for reasons of national security, 
nonproliferation, foreign policy, or short supply; ensures that approval 
or denial of license applications is consistent with U.S. economic and 
security concerns; promotes an understanding of export control 
regulations within the business community; represents the Department in 
interagency and international fora relating to export controls, 
particularly multilateral regimes; monitors and seeks to ensure the 
availability of industrial resources for national defense under the 
authority of the DPA; analyzes the impact of export controls on 
strategic industries; and assesses the security consequences for the 
United States of certain foreign investments.

    Export Enforcement (EE).--The Export Enforcement program detects and 
prevents the illegal export of controlled goods and technology. EE 
investigates and helps sanction violators of U.S. export control, anti-
terrorist and public safety laws and regulations; educates the business 
community to help prevent violations; and administers the Export 
Administration Act (EAA) (which expired on August 19, 2001, but the 
provisions of which remain in force under the Inter

[[Page 198]]

national Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), Executive Order 13222, 
as extended most recently by the Notice of August 3, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 
44551 (August 7, 2006)) provisions restricting participation in foreign 
boycotts.

    Performance Measures.--In 2006, BIS revised its performance goals 
and measures to more accurately reflect its mission, priorities, and 
strategic aims.

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

    The Budget includes over $100 million in new investments and program 
improvements within NOAA aimed at strengthening our knowledge and 
management of ocean resources in support of the President's U.S. Ocean 
Action Plan. Projects to protect valuable habitat include funding for 
the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument, recently 
designated by the President, and support for a project to restore over 
990 stream miles of habitat for endangered Atlantic salmon and other 
fish species. The Budget also provides funds to ensure sustainable 
access to seafood through development of offshore aquaculture 
opportunities as well as better management of fish harvests. Market-
based approaches such as Limited Access Privilege systems (LAPs) that 
provide exclusive privileges to harvest a quantity of fish move 
fisheries management away from cumbersome and inefficient regulatory 
practices and have been shown to lead to lengthened fishing seasons, 
improved product quality, and safer conditions for fishermen. The 
Administration has set a goal of doubling the number of LAP systems in 
use by the year 2010. These goals and projects contribute to the 
implementa

tion of recently enacted legislation, including the Magnuson-Stevens 
Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 and the 
Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Reduction Act. New investments 
in ocean science are aimed at monitoring and better understanding marine 
ecosystems. Funding is included for ocean observations to move towards 
an operational ocean monitoring network. Support is also provided for 
priority research areas, including ocean-climate connections, marine 
ecosystem responses to natural events and management strategies, and the 
development of new sensor technologies to monitor marine ecosystem 
parameters such as harmful algal blooms and marine populations.

    In addition, funding is provided to continue high priority 
endeavors, including weather and severe storm prediction, climate change 
research, and tsunami warning systems. The Budget provides increases for 
weather forecasting activities to ensure continuing improvements in this 
important area. The Budget also continues support for development and 
acquisition of geostationary and polar-orbiting weather satellites to 
improve weather forecasting and our understanding of the climate. In 
addition, the Budget funds increases for research on hurricane intensity 
and Unmanned Aircraft Systems, in order to improve monitoring and 
forecasting of hurricanes. The Budget funds climate programs that are 
aligned with the strategic programs of the President's Climate Change 
Research Initiative. These include water vapor process research to 
refine climate models, and the development of an integrated drought 
early warning and forecast system that will provide earlier and more 
accurate forecasts of drought conditions. In response to the devastating 
tsunami that hit Southeast Asia in December 2004, NOAA developed an 
improved Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System to strengthen tsunami 
detection and warning for at-risk U.S. communities. The 2008 Budget 
supports increases for deployment of additional advanced technology 
deep-ocean buoy stations and tsunami inundation mapping, modeling, and 
forecast efforts.

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

    National Ocean Service (NOS).--NOS programs work to promote safe 
navigation; assess the health of coastal and marine resources and 
respond to natural- and human-induced threats; and preserve the coastal 
ocean environment.

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

    Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).--OAR programs 
provide environmental research and technology needed to improve NOAA 
weather and air quality warnings and forecasts, climate predictions, and 
marine services. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of 
scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and 
cooperative institutes and partnership programs.

    National Weather Service (NWS).--NWS programs provide timely and 
accurate meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and 
forecasts to ensure the safety of the population, mitigate property 
losses, and improve the economic productivity of the Nation. NWS is also 
responsible for issuing operational climate forecasts for the United 
States, which are used by agriculture and other industries.

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

    Program Support.--Program Support provides management and 
administrative support for NOAA, including acquisition and grant 
administration, budget, accounting functions, and human resources. The 
Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) provides aircraft and 
marine data acquisition, fleet repair and maintenance, planning of 
future fleet modernization, and technical and management support for 
NOAA-wide activities through the NOAA Commissioned Corps.

    Foreign Fishing Observer Fund.--This fund is financed through 
collections from foreign vessel owners who fish within the U.S. 
Exclusive Economic Zone. Fund balances can be made available through 
annual appropriations for use by the Secretary of Commerce to pay the 
salaries of observers and program support personnel, the costs of data 
management, and analysis of the observer program. The observers collect 
scientific information on the foreign seafood catch and monitor 
compliance with provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act. No new appropriations are proposed for this account 
as unobligated balances are sufficient to provide observer coverage 
aboard foreign vessels fishing within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone.

    Performance measures.--A more detailed listing of goals, performance 
measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2008 Budget 
Submission.

                     Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery

     For necessary expenses associated with the restoration of Pacific 
salmon populations, $66,825,000 to remain available until September 30, 
2009: Provided, That of the funds provided herein the Secretary of 
Commerce may issue grants to the States of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, 
California, and Alaska, and the Columbia River and Pacific Coastal 
Tribes for projects necessary for restoration of salmon and steelhead 
populations that are listed as threatened or endangered, or identified 
by a State as at-risk to be so-listed, for maintaining populations 
necessary for exercise of tribal treaty fishing rights or native 
subsistence fishing, or for conservation of Pacific coastal salmon and 
steelhead habitat, based on guidelines to be developed by the Secretary 
of Commerce: Provided further, That funds disbursed to States shall be 
subject to a matching requirement of funds or documented in-kind 
contributions of at least thirty-three percent of the Federal funds: 
Provided further, That non-Federal funds provided pursuant to the second 
proviso be used in direct support of this program.

    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.

    This account funds State, Tribal and local conservation initiatives 
to help recover Pacific salmon populations. State and local recipients 
of this funding will provide matching contributions of at least thirty-
three percent of Federal funds. In addition, funds will be available to 
Tribes that do not require matching dollars. A 2006 Program Assessment 
Rating Tool analysis found that the program has substantially improved 
its ability to demonstrate effectiveness. The program has developed 
performance measures and has demonstrated progress in salmon recovery 
efforts. However, recovery continues to be slow and the program should 
be permitted to target funding based on the recovery needs of 
threatened, endangered, or other sensitive salmon populations. The 
language proposed here states that the Secretary will establish terms 
and conditions for the effective use of the funds to help address this 
concern.

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

to enhance the productivity and improve the sustainable yield of 
domestic marine fisheries resources.

    This program provides compensation to commercial fishermen for 
damages to or loss of fishing gear related to oil and gas exploration, 
development, and production on the Outer Continental Shelf. The fund is 
supported by assessments to holders of leases, permits, easements, and 
rights of way in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. No new funds are 
proposed for this account in 2008; remaining unobligated balances are 
sufficient to carry out this program for the year.

                    Fisheries Finance Program Account

     Subject to section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, 
during fiscal year 2007, obligations of direct loans may not exceed 
$8,000,000 for Individual Fishing Quota loans as authorized by the 
Merchant Marine Act of 1936.

    Note.--A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is

levels provided by the continuing resolution.

    This account covers the subsidy costs of guaranteed loans (pre-1997) 
and direct loans (post-1996) obligated or committed subsequent to 
October 1, 1991, as authorized by the Merchant Marine Act of 1936 as 
amended. For 2008, loan authority is proposed only for loans to finance 
the purchase of Individual Fishing Quotas, which have a negative subsidy 
rate and do not require appropriations to cover the costs of the loan.

                          Salaries and Expenses

     For necessary expenses of the United States Patent and Trademark 
Office provided for by law, including defense of suits instituted 
against the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and 
Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, 
$1,915,500,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That the 
sum herein appropriated from the general fund shall be reduced as 
offsetting collections assessed and collected pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1113 
and 35 U.S.C. 41 and 376 are received during fiscal year 2008, so as to 
result in a fiscal year 2008 appropriation from the general fund 
estimated at $0: Provided further, That during fiscal year 2008, should 
the total amount of offsetting fee collections be less than 
$1,915,500,000, this amount shall be reduced accordingly: Provided 
further, That any amount received in excess of $1,915,500,000 in fiscal 
year 2008 shall remain available until expended, but shall not be 
available for obligation until October 1, 2008: Provided further, That 
from amounts provided herein, not to exceed $1,000 shall be made 
available in fiscal year 2008 for official reception and representation 
expenses: Provided further, That in fiscal year 2008 from the amounts 
made available for ``Salaries and Expenses'' for the United States 
Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), the amounts necessary to pay: (1) the 
difference between the percentage of basic pay contributed by the PTO 
and employees under section 8334(a) of title 5, United States Code, and 
the normal cost percentage (as defined by section 8331(17) of that 
title) of basic pay, of employees subject to subchapter III of chapter 
83 of that title; and (2) the present value of the otherwise unfunded 
accruing costs, as determined by the Office of Personnel Management, of 
post-retirement life insurance and post-retirement health benefits 
coverage for all PTO employees, shall be transferred to the Civil 
Service Retirement and Disability Fund, the Employees Life Insurance 
Fund, and the Employees Health Benefits Fund, as appropriate, and shall 
be available for the authorized purposes of those accounts: Provided 
further, That sections 801, 802, and 803 of Division B, Public Law 108-
447; shall remain in effect during fiscal year 2008: Provided further, 
That the Director may, this year, reduce by regulation fees payable in 
connection with the filing of documents in patent and trademark matters, 
with respect to documents filed electronically in a form prescribed by 
the Director.

    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 United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) administers the 
patent and trademark laws, which provide pro

[[Page 209]]

tection to inventors and businesses for their inventions and corporate 
and product identifications. These protections encourage innovation and 
scientific and technical advancement of American industry. PTO also 
provides technical advice and information to other government agencies 
on intellectual property matters and the trade-related aspects of 
intellectual property rights, and assists governments of other countries 
in establishing regulatory and enforcement mechanisms to meet their 
international obligations relating to the protection of intellectual 
property. PTO is funded through fees that are paid for patents and 
trademarks; the 2008 Budget requests a program level of $1,915 million 
for PTO and full access for the agency to its fee collections. 
Legislation restructuring and increasing patent and trademark fees was 
enacted for 2005 and 2006. The Budget requests an extension of these 
provisions through 2008. The Administration also plans to submit a 
legislative proposal to permanently extend these changes beyond 2008.

    Patent program.--The Patent program grants exclusive rights, for 
limited times, to inventors for their discoveries. The activities under 
this program include all functions in the patent application processing 
pipeline, including the initial administrative examination of patent 
applications, the processing of patent applications filed under the 
Patent Cooperation Treaty, the formal examination of patent applications 
to determine the patentability of a claimed invention, the post-
examination processing and printing of allowed patents, the review for 
quality, and the quasi-judicial review in appeal and interference 
proceedings. Resources requested in 2008 will be used to fund additional 
patent examiner staff workload; continue the implementation of e-
Government to more efficiently process patent applications; 
competitively source the classification and reclassification functions 
currently performed by patent examiners; establish a new training 
program for new hires; implement retention incentives to retain a highly 
qualified and productive workforce; increase patent workforce telework 
participation through implementation of a patent ``hoteling'' program, 
where employees who telework can reserve time in shared offices on the 
main PTO campus; and expand bilateral and multilateral agreements to 
strengthen intellectual property rights globally and reduce duplication 
of effort among international intellectual property offices.

    Key patent program performance measures follow.

    Allowance compliance rate is defined as the percent of utility, plant, 
reissue, and design allowances reviewed that does not contain an error that 
could impact the patentability of the application.
    Patent Efficiency is calculated by dividing the total costs, both direct 
and indirect, incurred to produce a patent product by the number of product 
outputs.

    Trademark program.--The Trademark program provides for the 
protection of trademarks through Federal registration. The activities 
under this program include the examination of trademark applications to 
determine whether the statutory criteria for the Federal registration of 
a trade or service mark are met. The Office issues notices of allowance 
and certificates of registration based on a trademark attorney's 
determination. The 2008 program level provides resources to fund 
increased staffing levels, expansion of the trademark work at home 
program, and expansion of e-Government to achieve a fully electronic 
workflow in 2008 that will further improve timeliness and productivity.

    Technological innovation has evolved to a point where it plays a 
critical role in competitiveness across our entire economy rather than 
taking place in an isolated sector unto itself. In keeping with this 
evolution, the 2008 Budget proposes to modernize the Department's 
approach to technology policy by elevating technology policy activities 
to the Secretarial

[[Page 210]]

level. In place of a stand-alone Technology Administration, the budget 
proposes to appoint a senior advisor in the Department's Office of 
Policy and Strategic Planning and to create a Department-wide Technology 
Council that will coordinate technology policy activities that are 
distributed across the Department. The Budget includes funding for 
personnel and other costs associated with terminating the previous 
Technology Administration and its component Office of Technology Policy, 
as well as the statutory positions of Under Secretary of Commerce for 
Technology and Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Technology Policy.

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

    As part of the President's 10-year American Competitiveness 
Initiative to significantly increase Federal funding for basic research 
in the physical sciences, NIST will target $501 million for key 
investments that promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness 
including: improving nanotechnology manufacturing capabilities; 
expanding NIST's neutron facility to aid in characterizing novel 
materials in high-growth research fields; addressing technological 
barriers to hydrogen storage, distribution, and fuel-cell fabrication; 
and improving our understanding of quantum information science with the 
potential to dramatically improve computer processing speeds and enable 
more secure communications.

    NIST Laboratories:

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

    National Research Facilities.--These include the NIST Center for 
Neutron Research (NCNR) and the Center for Nanoscale Science and 
Technology (CNST). As the Nation's premier neutron research user 
facility, the NCNR provides an intense source of neutrons used to probe 
the molecular and atomic structure and dynamics of a wide range of 
materials. The CNST leverages the unique capabilities of the NIST 
Advanced Measurement Laboratory complex, providing state-of-the-art 
facilities for nanomanufacturing and nanometrology where researchers 
from industry, universities and other Federal laboratories can 
collaborate in solving critical measurement and fabrication issues 
necessary to convert nano-discoveries into products.

    Baldrige National Quality Program.--This program promotes U.S. 
competitiveness in business, health care, education, and non-profit 
organizations through performance excellence criteria and other 
information transfer, and management of the Malcolm Baldrige National 
Quality Award.

    This account funds two extramural programs: the Hollings 
Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program (MEP) and the Advanced 
Technology Program (ATP). The goal of MEP, a network of centers that 
provide business support and technical assistance services, is to 
improve the productivity and competitiveness of small manufacturers. The 
centers are funded from matching Federal and State or local resources 
and fees charged for services. ATP, a grant program for businesses that 
was intended to develop new technologies for commercial use, continues 
to be proposed for elimination due to the growth of venture capital and 
other financing sources for high-tech projects. The Administration seeks 
no new funding for ATP and proposes to terminate the program, using 
prior year appropriations, in an orderly manner that completes funding 
of all qualified projects.

    Performance measures.--Raise the productivity and competitiveness of 
small manufacturers. Actuals for this performance measure lag at least 
six months. Therefore, beginning in 2005, NIST shifted to a format in 
which they report actuals one year later, i.e., 2005 results are 
reflected in 2006.

     The National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
(NTIA) is the principal Executive Branch adviser on domestic and 
international telecommunications policy. Additionally, it manages the 
Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and performs 
extensive research in telecommunication sciences.

    Domestic and international policies.--NTIA develops and advocates 
policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications services and 
markets. NTIA provides advice to White House officials, coordinates with 
other Executive Branch agencies, and participates in relevant 
Congressional actions and interagency and Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC) proceedings on a host of issues.

    NTIA advocates the advancement of U.S. priorities in international 
telecommunications policy and regulatory areas. NTIA will continue to 
encourage the liberalization of telecommunication regulations now taking 
hold across the globe that benefit consumers worldwide by enhancing 
access to information and communications services and create significant 
opportunities for U.S. enterprises. This work includes an emphasis on 
the international development of electronic commerce as an essential 
element of today's information society.

    Spectrum management.--NTIA manages the Federal Government's use of 
the radio frequency spectrum, both domestically and internationally. In 
coordination with the FCC and with the advice of the Interdepartmental 
Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC), NTIA supports the spectrum requirements 
of the Federal Government, makes plans to satisfy the Government's 
future spectrum needs, coordinates Federal spectrum requirements in 
shared spectrum bands, and develops and implements policy to use the 
spectrum effectively and efficiently. NTIA strives to identify and apply 
new spectrum saving technologies and identify adjacent band effects for 
use by designers of future communications. NTIA also works with the 
Department of Homeland Security on matters involving emergency 
communications and Federal Government continuity of operations planning 
for communications during emergency conditions.

    Telecommunication sciences research.--NTIA develops improved 
spectrum measurement techniques to address the increasing use of 
broadband technologies, including digital signals, spread-spectrum, and 
frequency agile systems. Additionally, NTIA prepares and coordinates 
proposed domestic and international telecommunications standards, 
develops and demonstrates user-friendly ways to assess the performance 
of industry and Government telecommunications networks, evaluates future 
technologies that may facilitate competition in the U.S. 
telecommunications industry, promotes international trade opportunities 
for U.S. telecommunications firms and improves the cost effectiveness of 
Government telecommunications use.

    Activities under this account support Commerce's strategic goal of 
fostering science and technological leadership by protecting 
intellectual property, enhancing technical standards, and advancing 
measurement science.

    Performance measures.--A detailed presentation of performance 
measures and targets is found in the Department's 2008 Budget 
Submission. While the program fulfills a unique role through management 
of the Federal Spectrum, and is important in advancing the President's 
Spectrum Policy Initiative, it faces challenges measuring performance 
outcomes.

    The awarding of new Public Telecommunications Facilities, Planning 
and Construction grants is proposed for termination in 2008. Recoveries 
and unobligated balances of funds previously appropriated to this 
account are to be available hereafter for the administration of prior 
year grants. Since 2000, almost 70 percent of PTFP awards have supported 
public television stations' conversion to digital broadcasting, and 
mandated conversion efforts are now largely completed. Funding for 
remaining digital conversion and other activities is available from a 
number of other sources.

    The Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Fund, created by 
the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, receives offsetting receipts from the 
auction of licenses to use electromagnetic spectrum recovered from 
discontinued analog television signals and provides funding for several 
programs from these receipts. The Act specifies that recovered spectrum, 
aside from 24 megahertz dedicated public safety use, will be auctioned 
by the Federal Communications Commission in 2008 and identifies the 
distribution of revenue for deficit reduction and program purposes as 
identified below. Receipts exceeding amounts specified for authorized 
programs will be returned to the general fund of the Treasury. The Act 
also provides borrowing authority to the Department of Commerce to 
commence specified programs prior to the availability of auction 
receipts. Amounts borrowed from the Treasury will be returned without 
interest upon the availability of auction revenue.

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

    Public Safety Interoperable Communications.--Grants will be provided 
in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security to public 
safety agencies to assist efforts to make their communications systems 
interoperable, meaning capable of sharing voice and data signals on the 
radio spectrum. Public safety agencies are required to provide, from 
non-Federal sources, not less than twenty percent of the costs of 
acquiring and deploying the interoperable communications systems funded 
under this program. The Call Home Act of 2006 requires that the grants 
be awarded no later than September 30, 2007, subject to the receipt of 
qualified applications.

    New York City 9/11 Digital Transition.--Assistance will be provided 
to the Metropolitan Television Alliance of New York City for the design 
and deployment of a temporary digital television broadcast system until 
a permanent facility atop the planned Freedom Tower is constructed.

    Assistance to Low-Power Television Stations.--Eligible low-power 
television stations may receive compensation toward the cost of purchase 
of a digital-to-analog conversion device, and may receive reimbursement 
to upgrade their television signals from analog to digital format.

    National Alert and Tsunami Warning Program.--A national alert system 
will be implemented upon availability of auction receipts, using a 
variety of communications technologies, that is capable of alerting the 
public to emergency situations, including tsunamis and coastal 
vulnerability. Title VI of the SAFE Port Act of 2006 specified further 
the use of funds in this program, and requires that public and 
educational broadcasters modify their towers to enable the distribution 
of targeted alerts by commercial mobile services providers; the 
establishment of a research program to support the development of 
technologies to increase the number of commercial mobile service devices 
that receive emergency alerts; and the establishment of a grant program 
for outdoor alerting technologies in remote communities to enable 
receipt of emergency alerts. These programs are to be administered in 
partnership with specified agencies, such as the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration of the Department of Commerce, as well as the Federal 
Communications Commission and the Department of Homeland Security.

    ENHANCE 911.--Funds will be used to implement the ENHANCE 911 Act of 
2004, which created a joint effort of the Department of Commerce and the 
Department of Transportation to assist State and local governments in 
providing caller location idenification capabilities for emergency 911 
services, and established a matching grant program for that purpose.
