                (who are homeless, in foster care, involved in the juvenile justice system, or are neither employed nor enrolled in an educational
                institution) achieve success in meeting educational, employment or other key goals.

             (3) "To support the revitalization of distressed neighborhoods" means to transform neighborhoods of concentrated poverty into
                neighborhoods with safe streets, quality affordable housing, and high-quality schools and education programs, services, public

                Partnership Agreement on behalf of that agency and the other participating Federal agencies.

          (b) Use of Discretionary Funds in Fiscal Year 2013 Appropriations Acts. Federal agencies may use Federal discretionary funds, that are made available in this or any other appropriations act providing

                (A) the head of the lead Federal administering agency, on behalf of all of the participating Federal agencies (subject to the
                   head of the lead Federal administering agency having received from the heads of each of the other participating agencies their
                   written concurrence for entering into the Agreement), and

                (C) the Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot (by the respective Federal account identifier, and the total
                   amount from such account that is being used in the Pilot), and the period (or periods) of availability for obligation (by
                   the Federal Government) of such funds;

                (D) the non-Federal funds that are involved in the Pilot, by source (which can include private funds as well as governmental funds)
                   and by amount;

                (E) the state, local, or tribal programs that are involved in the Pilot;

                   for the use of the Federal discretionary funds;

                (H) the cost-effective State, local or tribal oversight procedures that will be used for the purpose of maintaining the necessary
                   level of accountability for the use of the Federal discretionary funds;

                (I) the outcome (or outcomes) that the Pilot is designed to achieve;
                (J) the appropriate, reliable, and objective outcome-measurement methodology that the Federal Government and the participating

                   has achieved, the specified outcomes that the Pilot is designed to achieve; and

                (K) in cases where, during the course of the Pilot, it is determined that the Pilot is not achieving the specified outcomes that
                   it is designed to achieve,
                   (i) the consequences that will result from such deficiencies with respect to the Federal discretionary funds that are being used
                      in the Pilot, and

                   (ii) the corrective actions that will be taken in order to increase the likelihood that the Pilot, upon completion, will have achieved
                      such specified outcomes.

          (d) Agency Head Determinations. A Federal agency may participate in a Performance Partnership Pilot (including by providing Federal discretionary funds
             that have been appropriated to such agency) only upon the written determination by the head of such agency that the agency's
             participation in such Pilot—
             (1) will not result in denying or restricting the eligibility of any individual for any of the services that (in whole or in part)
                are funded by the agency's programs and Federal discretionary funds that are involved in the Pilot, and

             (2) based on the best available information, will not otherwise adversely affect vulnerable populations that are the recipients
                of such services.

             In making this determination, the head of the agency may take into consideration the other Federal discretionary funds that
                will be used in the Pilot as well as any non-Federal funds (including from private sources as well as governmental sources)
                that will be used in the Pilot.

          (e) Transfer Authority. For the purpose of carrying out the Pilot in accordance with the Performance Partnership Agreement, and subject to the written
             approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the head of each participating Federal agency may transfer
             Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot to an account of the lead Federal administering agency that includes
             Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot.  Subject to the waiver authority under subsection (g), such
             transferred funds shall remain available for the same purposes for which such funds were originally appropriated: Provided, That such transferred funds shall remain available for obligation by the Federal Government until the expiration of those
             Federal discretionary funds (which are being used in the Pilot) that have the longest period of availability, except that
             any such transferred funds shall not remain available beyond September 30, 2017.

          (f) Waiver Authority. In connection with a Federal agency's participation in a Performance Partnership Pilot, and subject to the other provisions
             of this section (including subsection (e)), the head of the Federal agency to which the Federal discretionary funds were appropriated
             may waive (in whole or in part) the application, solely to such discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot, of any
             statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirement that such agency head—
             (1) is otherwise authorized to waive (in accordance with the terms and conditions of such other authority), and
             (2) is not otherwise authorized to waive, provided that in such case the agency head, prior to granting the waiver, shall—
                (A) issue a written determination with respect to such discretionary funds that the granting of such waiver for purposes of the
                   Pilot—
                   (i) is consistent with both—
                      (I) the statutory purposes of the Federal program for which such discretionary funds were appropriated, and
                      (II) the other provisions of this section, including the written determination by the agency head issued under subsection (e);

                   (ii) is necessary to achieve the outcomes of the Pilot as specified in the Partnership Performance Agreement, and is no broader
                      in scope than is necessary to achieve such outcomes; and

                   (iii) will result in either—
                      (I) realizing efficiencies by simplifying reporting burdens or reducing administrative barriers with respect to such discretionary
                         funds, or

                      (II) increasing the ability of individuals to obtain access to services that are provided by such discretionary funds; and

                (B) provide at least 60 days advance written notice to the Committees on Appropriations and other committees of jurisdiction in
                   the House of Representatives and the Senate. ]

                the tax liability, where the awarding agency is aware of the unpaid tax liability, unless a federal agency has considered
                suspension or debarment of the corporation and made a determination that this further action is not necessary to protect the
                interests of the Government. SEC. 737.  None of the funds made available by this or any other Act may be used to enter into a contract, memorandum of understanding,

                that this further action is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.
