The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) was established as a Federal-State partnership in 1965 to invest in sustainable economic development in the 420 county Appalachian Region. The Commission is comprised of 13 members representing the States in the Region and a Federal Co-Chairman, who represents the Federal Government. It is the mission of the ARC to help the Appalachian Region reach parity with the Nation by planning and coordinating regional investments and targeting resources to those communities with the greatest needs. ARC investments go toward area development and technical assistance goals, such as increasing job opportunities, improving employability, strengthening basic infrastructure and building the Appalachian Development Highway System. ARC also assists communities through support of 73 multi-county Local Development Districts (LDDs) that assist local governments in implementing economic development strategies. In 2016, ARC will implement a $25 million competitive grant program for communities severely impacted by the declining use of coal to develop entrepreneurship activities in emerging opportunity sectors.

Salaries and expenses._In this Federal-State partnership, the Federal Government contributes half of the expenses of a professional staff that works with the States and the Federal staff in operating the program. The other half of these non-Federal employee expenses are provided by member States.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was established under Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) (P.L. 111–203) as an independent bureau in the Federal Reserve System. To create a single point of accountability in the Federal government for consumer financial protection, the Act consolidated authorities previously shared by seven Federal agencies under Federal consumer financial laws into the CFPB and provided the Bureau with additional authorities to:

—Conduct rulemaking, supervision, and enforcement with respect to Federal consumer financial laws;

Funding required to support the CFPB's operations is obtained primarily through transfers from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Transfers to the Bureau in 2015 are capped at $618.7 million. The transfer cap for 2016, as adjusted by an annual inflation indicator, is estimated to be $631.7 million. The Bureau anticipates requesting less than the transfer cap to fund operations in 2015 and 2016 and the Budget reflects estimates of $582 and $606 million, respectively.

Pursuant to the Act, the CFPB is also authorized to collect civil penalties in any judicial or administrative action under Federal consumer financial laws. These fees are maintained and displayed in a separate account titled "Consumer Financial Civil Penalty Fund."

Pursuant to Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) (P.L. 111–203), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is authorized to collect civil penalties obtained in any judicial or administrative action under Federal consumer financial laws. Per the Act, such funds will be available for payments to the victims of activities for which civil penalties have been imposed under the Federal consumer financial laws. To the extent that such victims cannot be located or payments are otherwise not practicable, the CFPB may use such funds for consumer education and financial literacy programs. In May 2013, the CFPB published a final rule to provide transparency about how money in the Civil Penalty Fund would be used to compensate victims and the circumstances in which the funds may be allocated for consumer education and financial literacy programs. In Fiscal Year 2013, the CFPB made its first allocations of funds from the Civil Penalty Fund to victims and to consumer education and financial literacy programs. In 2014, the CFPB began distributing the allocated funds to victims. Projected obligations for 2015 will be contingent upon having all contracts in place for identifying the majority of victims deserving redress payments.

Independent actuarial projections show the CIARDS Fund with an unfunded liability of $6.2 billion. To ensure that the Fund remains solvent and authorized payments to beneficiaries continue, the Budget proposes $514 million in 2016. This amount reflects the amortized cost of recapitalizing the CIARDS Fund over twenty years.

The Civilian Property Realignment Board, as envisioned by the Administration's Civilian Property Realignment Act proposal, is an independent agency that assists the President and Congress in identifying ways the Government can eliminate unneeded assets and downsize its real property inventory. This independent structure, which was modeled off the successful Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, would enable the Federal Government to through challenging competing stakeholder interests that slow the disposal and consolidation of unneeded properties. Though the Federal Government has made real progress on reforming the management of its real property, through actions such as holding agencies to a 730.2 million total office and warehouse square footage baseline under the "Freeze the Footprint" policy and developing performance metrics to identify opportunities for consolidation in the Federal real property inventory, this independent Board would allow us to achieve long-desired opportunities for reform and deficit reduction within the inventory with far greater scope, speed, and efficiency. The goals of the Board would be to sell unneeded property, reduce the operating costs of the Government, support and incentivize agency co-location, resolve the Government's reliance on costly leases, and improve the sustainability of the Government's operations.

The Civilian Property Realignment Board, as envisioned by the Administration's Civilian Property Realignment Act proposal, will utilize a revolving fund (the Asset Proceeds and Space Management Fund) to facilitate the disposal process by serving as a source of resources to reimburse an agency for some necessary costs associated with disposing of property. Through this fund, the Board may provide, upon approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, logistical and financial support to agencies in their efforts to prepare properties for disposal, consolidation, co-location, or other reconfiguration. The appropriation in the amount of $40,000,000 will supply initial capital to fund this role of the Board. Thereafter, at least sixty percent of net proceeds received from the sale of any property implemented as a result of a Board recommendation shall be sent directly to the General Fund of the Treasury. In a proportion decided by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the remaining forty percent will be used and to replenish this Asset Proceeds and Space Management fund and for the purpose of investments in agency real property management. The retention of agency proceeds by the Board's revolving fund will allow the Board to continue its role to provide logistical and financial support to agencies implementing Board recommendations, as well as fund the Board's own operations, reducing the need for future appropriated funds.

Originally established by the Civil Rights Act of 1957, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) is an independent, bipartisan, fact-finding Federal agency. Its mission is to inform the development of national civil rights policy and enhance enforcement of Federal civil rights laws. The Commission pursues this mission by studying alleged deprivations of voting rights and alleged discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin, or in the administration of justice. The Commission plays a vital role in advancing civil rights through objective and comprehensive investigation, research, and analysis on issues of fundamental concern to the Federal government and the public. The Commission also supports a network of State Advisory Committees, each composed of a diverse group of citizen volunteers, which conduct civil rights research at the State and regional levels.

The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (operating as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission) administers the AbilityOne Program under the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act of 1971, as amended. The principal objective of AbilityOne is to leverage the purchasing power of the Federal Government to provide employment opportunities for people who are blind or have other significant disabilities. The Committee accomplishes its mission by identifying Government procurement requirements that can create employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or have other significant disabilities. Following opportunities for public comment and after due deliberation, the Committee then places such products and service requirements on the AbilityOne Procurement List, thus requiring Federal departments and agencies to procure the designated products and services from a network of just below 600 qualified State and private nonprofit agencies (NPAs) employing people who are blind or have other significant disabilities.

The long-term vision of AbilityOne is to enable people who are blind or have other significant disabilities to achieve their maximum employment potential. In 2014, nearly 47,000 AbilityOne employees earned a combined total of more than $550 million in wages, with an average hourly wage of $12.44. As a result, many individuals were able to reduce their dependence on Social Security, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and other public income transfer payments.

AbilityOne continues to emphasize providing employment to veterans, with more than 3,000 employed in direct or indirect labor positions, including supervision and management. To meet the changing needs of the Federal Government and employment interests of people who are blind or have other significant disabilities, AbilityOne has opened new lines of business in areas such as contract management services, automotive fleet management, document destruction services, and secure mail facility management. In addition to pursuing these initiatives, AbilityOne has expanded the range of unique military products and services it has traditionally provided to meet the needs of the Nation's war fighters. The resources proposed for 2016 would enable the Committee to continue increasing employment opportunities for people who are blind or have other significant disabilities while providing Federal departments and agencies with high quality products and services to support their missions.

The mission of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) is to protect market users, consumers and the public at large from fraud, manipulation, and other abusive practices, and systemic risk related to derivatives that are subject to the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA or the Act) and to foster open, transparent, competitive, and financially sound markets. Congress established the CFTC as an independent agency in 1974. The CFTC administers the Act, 7 U.S.C. Section 1, et. seq. The Act established a comprehensive regulatory structure to oversee the volatile futures trading complex, including futures trading in all goods, articles, services, rights and interests; commodity options trading; and leverage trading in gold and silver bullion and coins.

To meet changing market conditions, CFTC's mandate has been renewed and expanded several times since its inception. Most recently, and in response to the 2008 financial crisis, the scope of CFTC's mission grew dramatically in 2010 by the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) (P.L. 111–203), which amended the CEA and expanded CFTC's mission to include oversight of the previously unregulated over-the-counter (OTC) swaps marketplace.

The markets under CFTC's regulatory purview are large and economically significant. The CFTC regulates futures and options markets of an estimated $34 trillion notional value in the United States; and with the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC is tasked with regulating the swaps markets with an estimated notional value of over $412 trillion in the United States. The Administration proposes an increase of $72,000,000 and 169 FTE in FY 2016 over the FY 2015 enacted level in order to fulfill the CFTC's responsibilities to oversee these vital markets.

The Administration strongly supports and plans to propose legislation authorizing fees to fully fund the CFTC through user fees assessed on the sale of commodity futures, options, and swaps contracts. Authorization of fees would bring the CFTC into line with nearly all other Federal financial regulators, which are funded in whole or in part through user fees. This fee will shift CFTC's costs from the general taxpayer to the primary beneficiaries of CFTC's oversight and will be set at a level to avoid inhibiting the market's competitiveness. The Administration expects the CFTC to begin collecting fees in FY 2017 subject to enactment of authorizing legislation permitting the CFTC to collect user fees.

Section 748 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) (P.L. 111–203) amended the Commodity Exchange Act to direct the Commission to issue rules implementing incentives and protections for whistleblowers. Specifically, section 748 requires the Commission to pay awards to whistleblowers who provide original information to the Commission that leads to successful enforcement of a Commission action resulting in monetary sanctions exceeding $1,000,000, and who satisfy other eligibility requirements. The amount of the awards, as determined by the Commission, will be between 10 to 30 percent of sanctions collected in either the Commission's action or a related action that is based upon original information provided by the whistleblower.

The Commission's award determination is dependent upon certain criteria. The Commission may exercise discretion in granting an award based upon the significance of the information, the degree of assistance provided in support of the Commission's action or related action, the Commission's programmatic interest, and other criteria. An award shall be denied to certain Government employees and others who are statutorily ineligible.

A whistleblower may appeal the Commission's award determination as to whom an award is made, the amount of an award, or the denial of an award, to the appropriate U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Customer Protection Fund is a revolving fund established under section 748 of the Act. The Commission shall deposit civil monetary penalties, disgorgements, and interest it collects in covered administrative or judicial enforcement actions into the Fund whenever the balance in the Fund at the time of the deposit is less than or equal to $100,000,000. The Commission will not deposit restitution awarded to victims into the Fund, and will pay whistleblower awards and finance customer education initiatives from the Fund.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an independent federal regulatory agency, created in 1972 by the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). In addition to the CPSA, as amended by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), and Public Law 112–28, the CPSC also administers other laws, including the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the Flammable Fabrics Act, the Child Safety Protection Act, the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, the Refrigerator Safety Act, the Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act, and the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. The 2016 resource request continues scaling the CPSC's import surveillance initiative to a full-scale national program and proposes that an import surveillance user fee be enacted with collections beginning by 2017 to offset costs of the program. The 2016 request also supports the proactive global outreach and education agenda along with analytical work to study and identify potential consumer product hazards. The 2016 request establishes an academically based nanotechnology center to conduct research and develop test methods for quantifying and characterizing the presence, release and mechanisms of exposure to nanomaterials from consumer products.

The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) provides opportunities for Americans of all ages to serve their community and country in sustained and effective ways. As the nation's largest grantmaker for service and volunteering, CNCS plays a critical role in strengthening America's nonprofit sector and addressing our nation's challenges through service. CNCS harnesses America's most powerful resource—the energy and talents of its citizens—to solve problems and strengthen communities. From grade school through retirement, CNCS empowers Americans and fosters a lifetime of service. CNCS plays a vital role in supporting the American culture of citizenship, service and responsibility. CNCS promotes service around the country, working hand in hand with thousands of local partners. These institutions include: nonprofits, schools, faith-based and other community organizations, and local governments.

AmeriCorps State and National._With funds channeled through States, Territories, Tribes, and community-based organizations, AmeriCorps grants enable communities to recruit, train, and place AmeriCorps members to meet critical local needs in the areas of disaster services, economic opportunity, education, environmental stewardship, healthy futures, and veterans and military families, as directed by the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act of 2009.

AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps._AmeriCorps NCCC is a 10-month residential national service program for people ages 18–24. AmeriCorps NCCC members will be deployed to respond to natural disasters and engage in urban and rural development projects across the nation.

AmeriCorps VISTA._Provides full-time members to community organizations and public agencies working to resolve local poverty-related problems in areas such as illiteracy, hunger, unemployment, substance abuse, and homelessness.

State Service Commission Support Grants._These grants support the operation of State Service Commissions that administer approximately two-thirds of AmeriCorps State and National grant funds. Commissions are responsible for monitoring sub-grantees and ensuring that they comply with Federal requirements and performance expectations. These grants must be matched by the Commissions.

Retired Senior Volunteer Program._RSVP grants support volunteers aged 55 and older who help meet a wide range of community needs, including mentoring children and providing independent living services to adults.

Foster Grandparent Program._Grants provide low-income volunteers age 55 and older with service opportunities to provide one-on-one mentoring and support to at-risk children.

Senior Companion Program._Grants support low-income volunteers who provide companionship, transportation, help with light chores, and respite to assist tens of thousands of seniors and people with disabilities to remain in their own homes.

Innovation, Demonstration, and Assistance._These initiatives and programs are aimed at incubating new ideas, while expanding proven initiatives that address specific community needs. This includes the Social Innovation Fund, which helps identify and scale-up innovative and evidence-based programs across the country. The 2016 Budget for the Social Innovation Fund continues to request that up to 20 percent of funds be available for Pay For Success projects. The Volunteer Generation Fund will focus on strengthening the ability of nonprofits and other organizations to recruit, retain, and manage volunteers. Additional activities include the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, and United We Serve, the President's call to service initiative.

Evaluation._This activity supports the design and implementation of research and evaluation studies and will facilitate the use of evidence and evaluation by CNCS and national service organizations.

The FY 2016 Budget proposes an advance appropriation of $445 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for fiscal year 2018. In 1975, Congress first agreed to begin providing CPB with a two-year advance appropriation to support long-range financial planning and to insulate programming decisions. This commitment of future Federal dollars helps leverage investments from other sources and gives producers essential lead time to plan, design, create, and support programming and services.

CPB uses funding to provide grants to qualified public television and radio stations to be used at their discretion for purposes related to program production or acquisition, as well as for general operations. CPB also supports the production and acquisition of radio and television programs for national distribution. In addition, CPB assists in the financing of several system-wide activities, including national satellite interconnection services and the payment of music royalty fees, and provides limited technical assistance, research, and planning services to improve system-wide capacity and performance.

The Budget also provides $40 million to CPB in FY 2016 to support the first phase of a $197 million deployment of the next-generation public television interconnection system. The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) operates the current satellite-based interconnection system, which allows PBS, distributors, stations, and producers to distribute programming to public television licensees nationwide and in American territories but which will reach end-of-life in 2016. The planned new interconnection system will use terrestrial fiber-optic connections, allowing CPB to: continue supporting the production and distribution of high-quality, freely available news and programming; satisfy statutory public safety responsibilities; facilitate increased connectivity in underserved communities; and reduce overall public broadcasting system expenses relating to bandwidth, storage, video processing, and future interconnectivity needs. The Budget provides funding in FYs 2017, 2018, and 2019 to fully build out and complete the remainder of the system.

In addition, the Budget proposes relieving CPB of the statutory requirement to provide a "clear feed" broadcast of PBS's National Program Service to users of large satellite dishes, which have become a niche technology. This requirement is estimated to cost the public television system nearly $1 million a year in satellite lease fees.

The Corporation for Travel Promotion (also known as Brand USA) was established by the Travel Promotion Act in 2010 to lead the nation's first global marketing effort to promote the United States as a premier travel destination and to communicate U.S. entry/exit policies and procedures. The public-private partnership, funded through a combination of private sector contributions and Federal matching funds, works closely with the travel industry to encourage increased travel and tourism in the United States.

A surcharge to the Electronic System for Traveler Authorization (ESTA) fee that travelers from visa waiver countries pay before arriving in the United States provides Brand USA's Federal matching funds. Authorization to collect the surcharge under the Travel Promotion Act was set to expire September 30, 2015, but was extended to September 30, 2020, in the Travel Promotion, Enhancement, and Modernization Act of 2014 (part of the 2015 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act). These funds will enable Brand USA to continue its mission of promoting travel and tourism in the United States.

The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) was statutorily established by The Inspector General Reform Act of 2008 (P.L. 110–409) (IG Reform Act). The IG Reform Act charged CIGIE with addressing integrity, economy, and effectiveness issues that transcend individual Government agencies and increasing the professionalism and effectiveness of IG staff by developing policies, standards, and training.

In 2016, CIGIE will continue its efforts to improve program integrity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness by conducting cross-cutting studies; further increase the professionalism and effectiveness of the IG community workforce; and further advance the level of practice within the IG community workforce. Pursuant to Section 7 of the Inspector General Reform Act of 2008, resources for CIGIE activities are provided through interagency funding.

CIGIE plans to spend $6.6 million in 2016 for operations to support its mission and goals, of which $4.2 million will be for CIGIE's Training Institute. Of the $4.2 million for the Training Institute, $0.9 million is planned for the Leadership/Mission Support Academy, $1.3 million is for the Investigative Training Academy, $0.9 million is for the Audit, Inspections and Evaluations Academy, and $1.1 million is for infrastructure and administrative operations associated with the Training Institute. Additionally, the Council expects to collect tuition for Training Institute courses in the amount of $0.7 million, which assists in recovering expenses associated with individual training courses.

The National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 established the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) for the District of Columbia as an independent Federal agency to perform community supervision of D.C. Code offenders. The new agency assumed the adult probation function from the D.C. Superior Court and the parole supervision function from the D.C. Board of Parole. The Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia, responsible for supervising pretrial defendants, is an independent entity within CSOSA with its own budget and organizational structure. The mission of CSOSA is to increase public safety, prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and support the fair administration of justice in close collaboration with the community.

The CSOSA appropriation supports the Community Supervision Program and the Pretrial Services Agency.

Community Supervision Program._This activity provides supervision of adult offenders on probation, parole, or supervised release, consistent with a crime prevention strategy that emphasizes public safety and successful reintegration. The Community Supervision Program employs an integrated system of close supervision, routine drug testing, graduated sanctions, treatment, transitional housing, and other offender support services, including services from community and faith-based collaborations. The activity also develops and provides the courts and the U.S. Parole Commission with critical information for probation, parole, and supervised release decisions. The 2016 Budget provides additional resources for CSOSA's telecommunications system, CSOSA's electronic data records management system, offender treatment services, the redesign of the offender case management system, and the relocation of offender supervision field offices.

Pretrial Services Agency._This activity assists judicial officers in both the D.C. Superior Court and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by formulating release recommendations and providing supervision and treatment services to defendants that reasonably assure that individuals on conditional release return to court and do not engage in criminal activity pending their trial and/or sentencing. The Pretrial Services Agency is responsible for enforcing conditions of release, conducting drug testing, administering graduated sanctions, referring defendants to treatment and other social services, and reporting to the courts defendants' compliance with their conditions of release. The 2016 Budget provides additional resources for CSOSA's electronic data records management system.

Established by Congress in 2000, the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) is a Federal-state partnership created to address the economic needs of the eight-state, Mississippi Delta region. DRA's service area spans a 252 county/parish footprint. DRA's economic development investments support the creation and sustainability of strong local and regional economies. In 2016, DRA will continue to promote regional planning and provide investments toward its statutory mission. DRA's strategic investments support projects in the following categories: basic public infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, business development with an emphasis in entrepreneurship, and workforce development. In addition to its investments through the States' Economic Development Assistance Program (SEDAP), the Authority will continue the use of strategic collaboration to help leverage investments from the private and non-profit sectors. DRA continues to engage communities within the Delta Region and assist in increasing individuals' access to federal family assets in the fields of healthcare, access to affordable capital, and infrastructure financial tools.

The Denali Commission was established by the Denali Commission Act of 1998 (P.L. 105–277) and is composed of seven members including the Federal Co-Chair. The Commission's mission is to promote and provide sustainable infrastructure improvement, job training, and other economic development services that improve health, safety, and economic self-sufficiency within rural communities in Alaska. In 2016, the Commission will continue to coordinate cost-shared utilities and infrastructure projects with a focus on the most distressed communities. The 2016 Budget proposes to continue a 50% matching requirement to the Commission's funding of construction projects. This provision, common to other Federal regional economic development agencies, ensures that communities have a stake in their Commission-funded projects. Grants to distressed communities will have a lower matching requirement (20%). This match may be provided by the State of Alaska. In order to improve performance measures, in 2016 the Commission will continue to place an emphasis on gathering output and outcome results from its program partners and grantees.

The Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1999 (P.L. 105–277) established the annual transfer of interest from the investment of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Liability Fund balance into the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for subsequent transfer to the Denali Commission. As required by the Act, the Denali Commission, in consultation with the Coast Guard, developed a program to use these funds to repair or replace bulk fuel storage tanks in Alaska that are not in compliance with Federal law, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or State law.

Under the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997, the Federal Government is required to finance the District of Columbia Courts. This payment to the District of Columbia Courts funds the operations of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Superior Court, and the Court System, as well as capital improvements.

The 2016 Budget provides resources to support the D.C. Courts' core functions; enhanced services for families, youth, incapacitated adults, and domestic violence victims; increased courtroom use of technology; and improved security. In addition, the 2016 Budget provides resources for capital improvements to complete construction of the western phase of the Moultrie Courthouse addition (including the D.C. Family Court) and to maintain court facilities in Judiciary Square.

By law, the Courts' annual budget includes estimates of the expenditures for the operations of the District of Columbia Courts prepared by the Joint Committee on Judicial Administration in the District of Columbia and the President's recommendation for funding the District of Columbia Courts. The President's recommended level of $274 million includes $212 million for the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, and the District of Columbia Court System operations and $63 million for capital improvements for District courthouse facilities. Under a separate transmittal to the Congress, the District of Columbia Courts are requesting $355 million: $213 million for operations and $142 million for capital improvements.

Under three Defender Services programs, the District of Columbia Courts appoint and compensate attorneys to represent persons who are financially unable to obtain such representation on their own. The Defender Services programs are the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) program, which provides court-appointed attorneys to indigent persons who are charged with criminal offenses; the Counsel for Child Abuse and Neglect (CCAN) program, which provides court-appointed attorneys for family proceedings in which child neglect is alleged or where the termination of the parent-child relationship is under consideration and the parent, guardian, or custodian of the child is indigent; and the Guardianship program, which provides for the representation and protection of mentally incapacitated individuals and minors whose parents are deceased. In addition to legal representation, these programs provide indigent persons with services such as transcripts of court proceedings, expert witness testimony, foreign and sign language interpretation, investigations, and genetic testing. The President's recommended funding level for Defender Services is $50 million. Under a separate transmittal to the Congress, the Courts are also requesting $50 million for Defender Services.

The District of Columbia Courts administer the Crime Victims Compensation Fund, which finances assistance for innocent victims of violent crime, survivors of homicide victims, and dependent family members of homicide victims. The program provides compensation for certain costs related to the crime, such as medical expenses, temporary emergency housing, and funeral expenses. The Fund is financed through assessments imposed in criminal cases, court fines and fees, and a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. Under the 2002 Supplemental Appropriations Act for Further Recovery From and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States (P.L. 107–206), one half of the Fund's unobligated balances at the end of each year are transferred to the District of Columbia Government for outreach activities designed to increase the number of crime victims who apply for compensation.

The National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997, as amended, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to make payments at the end of each fiscal year, beginning in 1998, from the General Fund of the Treasury into the District of Columbia Judicial Retirement and Survivors Annuity Fund (Judicial Fund). Annual payments consist of (1) amounts necessary to amortize the original unfunded liability over 30 years; the net gain or loss, based on experience, over 10 years; and any other changes in actuarial liability over 20 years and (2) amounts necessary to fund the normal cost and covered administrative expenses for the year. This account receives the annual payments from the General Fund and immediately transfers these amounts into the Judicial Fund.

The District of Columbia annually receives direct Federal payments for a number of local programs in recognition of the District's unique status as the seat of the Federal Government. These General and Special Payments are separate from and in addition to the District's local budget, which is funded through local revenues. Consistent with the principle of home rule, it is the Administration's view that the District's local autonomy should be enhanced and increased. The Administration will work with Congress and the Mayor to provide the District local budget and legislative autonomy, as proposed in the Budget.

The D.C. Tuition Assistance Grant program enables students from the District of Columbia to attend eligible public universities and colleges nationwide at in-state tuition rates. The program also provides grants for students to attend private institutions in the D.C. metropolitan area or private historically Black colleges and universities nationwide, as well as public 2-year community colleges. To date, the Tuition Assistance Grant program has assisted over 22,940 students.

The 2016 Budget provides $43.2 million to support kindergarten through high school education in the District of Columbia. This includes $20 million for D.C. public schools for continued support of the District's efforts to transform its public education system into an innovative and high-achieving system that could be used as a model for urban school district reform across the nation. The Budget provides $20 million for D.C. charter schools to support facilities and other unmet needs. The Budget provides $3.2 million for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program, a private school voucher program re-authorized in 2011, to carry-out the evaluation and administration activities of the program. Between this request and the amount carried forward from prior fiscal years, the program is expected to have sufficient funding to meet costs through the 2016–2017 school year.

The 1990 District of Columbia Appropriations Act established a system "to improve the means by which the District of Columbia (now the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority, DC Water) is paid for water and sanitary sewer services furnished to the Government of the United States or any department, agency, or independent establishment thereof.'' Each agency is required to pay 25 percent of its estimated yearly bill each quarter by depositing its payment into this account. If an agency fails to pay its obligation on time, the Treasury Department is authorized to pay the full Government-wide bill, making up the difference through a permanent, indefinite appropriation which must then be reimbursed by the appropriate agencies.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–58) authorizes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to certify an Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) to establish and enforce reliability standards for the electric bulk-power system. These standards include requirements for operating existing bulk-power system facilities, including cybersecurity protection, and design of planned additions or modifications to these facilities to provide for reliable operation, but does not include requirements to construct new transmission or generation capacity. On July 20, 2006, FERC certified the North American Electric Reliability Corporation as the ERO. ERO is funded by fees on end users of the bulk-power system. Since the ERO does not report budget data to Treasury, ERO funding is based on estimates.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the Federal agency responsible for enforcement of: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA) of 2008; the ADA Amendments Act of 2008; the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009; and in the Federal sector only, section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. These Acts prohibit employment discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability status, or genetic information. EEOC is also responsible for carrying out Executive Order 12067, which promotes coordination and minimizes conflict and duplication among Federal agencies that administer statutes or regulations involving employment discrimination.

This 2016 Budget is an opportunity to advance the work the Commission began with the adoption of the Strategic Plan for fiscal years 2012–2016. The strategic plan outlines a framework for achieving the EEOC's mission to "Stop and Remedy Unlawful Employment Discrimination". The plan has three strategic objectives: 1) Combat employment discrimination through strategic law enforcement; 2) Prevent employment discrimination through education and outreach; and 3) Deliver excellent and consistent service through a skilled and diverse workforce and effective systems. The structure of this budget will permit us to improve efficiencies through data resource consolidation, promote knowledge sharing, and foster communication to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort and continue our standards of providing quality service to the public through enforcement and prevention activities. EEOC's enforcement responsibilities are in two areas: the private sector and the Federal sector.

Private sector._EEOC addresses equal employment opportunity in several ways. The agency investigates charges alleging employment discrimination; makes findings on the allegations; resolves charges through mediation; negotiates settlement or conciliation; and litigates cases of employment discrimination by enforcing compliance with existing laws and regulations. The priority for agency resources continues to be litigating systemic cases and maintaining a manageable inventory of cases.

The purpose of the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank or the Bank) is to sustain U.S. jobs by financing U.S. exports. To accomplish its objectives, the Bank's authority and resources are used to: assume commercial and political risks that exporters or private institutions are unwilling or unable to undertake; overcome maturity and other limitations in private sector export financing; assist U.S. exporters to meet officially sponsored foreign export credit competition; and provide leadership and guidance in export financing to the U.S. exporting and banking communities and to foreign borrowers. The Bank provides its export credit support through direct loan, loan guarantee, and insurance programs. The Bank is actively assisting small- and medium-sized businesses.

The 2016 Budget estimates that the Bank's export credit support will total $27.9 billion, and will be funded entirely by receipts collected from the Bank's customers. The Bank estimates it will collect $1,008.7 million in 2016 in receipts in excess of expected losses on transactions authorized in 2016 and prior years. These amounts will be used to cover administrative expenses in an amount not to exceed $117.7 million, of which $19.6 million is for technology expenses. Amounts collected in fiscal year 2016 in excess of obligations, up to $10.0 million, shall become available on September 1, 2016 and shall remain available until September 30, 2019. Any excess above $10.0 million will be deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for Ex-Im Bank, the subsidy costs associated with direct loans and direct grants obligated, and loan guarantees and insurance committed in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative expenses. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

Operating results and financial condition._The Ex-Im Bank is a wholly-owned Government corporation. Capital stock of $1 billion was purchased by the U.S. Treasury.
The Ex-Im Bank has a reserve for possible credit losses, which provides for the risk of loss inherent in the lending process. This reserve is a general reserve, available to absorb credit losses related to the total loan portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to expenses and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The provision for possible credit losses is based on the Bank's evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve, taking into consideration a variety of factors, including repayment status of loans, future risk factors, the relationship of the reserve to the portfolio, and worldwide economic conditions. Providing for such possible losses does not imply that any loans will be written off. It simply recognizes the fact that the prospects for collection of some of the Bank's loans are impaired. It does not provide for losses on a country-by-country basis and is intended only to provide an overall revaluation of the loan portfolio.
The Ex-Im Bank's net excess of program costs over revenue were $526.1 million in 2014. The total Government net position in the Bank was -$1,030.5 million on September 30, 2014.

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) is an independent Federal agency that examines and regulates the Farm Credit System (System) for safety and soundness and program compliance. The System is a cooperative agricultural credit system of farm credit banks and associations that lend to farmers, ranchers, and their cooperatives; farm-related businesses; rural homeowners; and rural utilities. FCA also performs the examination and general supervision of Farmer Mac. In addition, FCA examines the National Consumer Cooperative Bank, which is not a System institution.

As of October 1, 2014 , the System was composed of three Farm Credit Banks, one Agricultural Credit Bank, 77 associations, five service corporations, the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, and Farmer Mac.

Assessments based upon estimated administrative expenses are collected from institutions in the System, including Farmer Mac, and are available for administrative expenses. Obligations are incurred within fiscal year budgets approved by the FCA Board. Section 6(f)(1) of the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, (IG Act) requires an Inspector General (IG) to include specific information in the budget request the IG submits to the head of the department or designated Federal entity to which the IG reports. To fulfill the requirement of Section 6(f)(2) of the IG Act as it pertains to FCA, the FCA Board must in turn include this same information in the budget request that the Agency submits to the President.

The aggregate budget request for the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is $1,514,785.

The amount needed to support the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency is $4,100.

The FCA IG's budget request for 2016 is being submitted unchanged by the FCA Board.

The Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (Corporation) was established to ensure the timely payment of principal and interest on insured System debt obligations purchased by investors. The Corporation is managed by a three member Board of Directors that consists of the same individuals as the Farm Credit Administration Board. The Corporation derives its revenues from insurance premiums collected from insured System banks and from the investment income earned on its investment portfolio. Insurance premiums are assessed on System banks based on the level of adjusted insured obligations outstanding at each bank. Congress established a secure base amount of 2 percent of adjusted outstanding insured System obligations, or such other amount determined by the Corporation's Board of Directors to be actuarially sound to maintain in the Insurance Fund. After the first three quarters of 2014, the Insurance Fund was $61 million below the 2 percent secure base amount as of September 30, 2014 at 1.97 percent. For 2014, the Corporation is assessing insurance premiums at 12 basis points on adjusted insured debt obligations and 10 basis points on non-accrual loans and other-than-temporarily impaired investments. Changes to the Corporation's premium authorities were included in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. The authorities changed the assessment base from loans to adjusted insured obligations and raised the assessment limit to 20 basis points, plus an additional 10 basis points on non-accrual loans and other-than-temporarily impaired investments. In January 2015, the Corporation's Board will determine insurance premium rates for 2015.

The Insurance Fund is available for payment of insured System obligations if a System bank defaults on its primary liability. The Insurance Fund is also available to ensure the retirement of certain eligible borrower stock, and to pay the operating costs of the Corporation. The Corporation can exercise its authority to make loans, borrow, purchase System bank assets or obligations, provide other financial assistance and otherwise act to reduce its exposure to losses.

The Corporation has the authority to make refunds of excess Insurance Fund balances. No refunds are anticipated in 2015.

Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, telecommunications carriers that provide interstate and international telecommunications services are required to contribute funds for the preservation and advancement of universal service. The contributions provided, in turn, by each carrier's subscribers, support universal service activities as determined by the FCC funded through the Universal Service Fund (USF). Entities are eligible for USF support if they (1) provide service to high-cost areas, (2) provide eligible services at a discount to schools, libraries or rural health care providers, and/or (3) provide subsidized service to low-income consumers. Contributions also fund the administrative costs of the program. The FCC has recently conducted the following reform proceedings in USF programs: (1) adoption of an order modernizing the E-rate program by closing the high-speed connectivity gap between rural schools and libraries and their urban and suburban counterparts, and provide sufficient and certain funding for high-speed connectivity to and within all eligible schools and libraries; (2) modernized and reformed the high-cost program to promote broadband availability and adoption while improving fiscal management; (3) adoption of an order strengthening requirements for and oversight of the Lifeline program, including requiring consumers to provide proof of eligibility at enrollment, as well as requiring consumers to certify that they understand key program rules and to recertify eligibility annually, and limiting the Lifeline benefit to one-per-household; and (4) adoption of an order creating the Healthcare Connect Fund, which reformed, expanded, and modernized the Rural Health Care Program by, among other things, providing support for high-capacity broadband connectivity to eligible health care providers. The 2016 Budget proposes to transfer $25 million from the USF to the FCC to provide robust oversight of universal service programs, including targeted investments that will identify and reduce improper payments while combating fraud, waste and abuse.

This program provided direct loans for the purpose of purchasing spectrum licenses at the Federal Communications Commission's auctions. The licenses were purchased on an installment basis, which constitutes an extension of credit. The first year of activity for this program was 1996.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis and administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis. The FCC no longer offers credit terms on purchases through spectrum auctions. Program activity relates to maintenance and close-out of existing loans.

To promote efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum, the Administration proposes to provide the FCC with new authority to use other economic mechanisms, such as fees, as a spectrum management tool. The FCC would be authorized to set user fees on unauctioned spectrum licenses based on spectrum-management principles. Fees would be phased in over time as part of an ongoing rulemaking process to determine the appropriate application and level for fees. Fee collections are estimated to begin in 2016 and total $4.8 billion through 2025.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was created by the Banking Act of 1933 to provide protection for bank depositors and to foster sound banking practices.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (P.L. 101–73) established the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) Resolution Fund (FRF). Under the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, the BIF and SAIF were merged into a new Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) in 2006.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 generally requires FDIC to use the least costly method to resolve failed banks, and mandates that the FDIC take prompt corrective action against under-capitalized financial institutions. In order to accomplish its varied functions to protect depositors, FDIC is authorized to promulgate and enforce rules and regulations relating to the supervision of insured institutions and to perform other regulatory and supervisory duties consistent with its responsibilities as an insurer.

The primary purpose of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) is to insure deposits and protect the depositors of failed banking institutions. Under the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and its Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) were merged into the new Deposit Insurance Fund on March 31, 2006. Through the DIF, the FDIC resolves and recovers funds disbursed from the assets of failed institutions. The FDIC is authorized to charge risk-based premiums on member institutions to restore and maintain adequate fund reserves, which must be a designated percentage of estimated insured deposits as set by the FDIC before the beginning of each year. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) (P.L. 111–203), enacted July 21, 2010, increased the minimum DIF reserve ratio (ratio of the DIF to total insured deposits) to 1.35 percent, up from 1.15 percent. In addition to raising the minimum reserve ratio, the Act also: 1) eliminated the FDIC's requirement to rebate premiums when the reserve ratio is between 1.35 and 1.5 percent; 2) gave the FDIC discretion to suspend or limit rebates when the DIF reserve ratio is at least 1.5 percent, effectively removing the 1.5 percent cap on the DIF; 3) required the FDIC to offset the effect of small insured depository institutions (defined as banks with assets less than $10 billion) when setting assessments to raise the reserve ratio from 1.15 to 1.35 percent, and 4) permanently increased the insured deposit level to $250,000 per account at banks insured by the FDIC. The FDIC Board has issued a final rule setting a long-term (greater than 10 years) DIF reserve ratio target of 2 percent, with the goal of maintaining a positive fund balance during any future economic crises and maintaining a moderate, steady, long-term assessment rate that provides transparency and predictability to the banking sector.

As of September 30, 2014, the DIF fund balance stood at $54.3 billion, on an accrual basis measuring expected losses to current balances. This level is equivalent to a reserve ratio of 0.89 percent. The growth in the DIF fund balance is a result of fewer bank failures and higher assessment revenue.

Pursuant to the Act, the restoration period for the DIF reserve ratio to reach 1.35 percent was extended to 2020. (Prior to the Act, the DIF reserve ratio was required to reach the minimum target of 1.15 percent by 2017.) The Budget projects that from 2015 on, the DIF reserve ratio is expected to increase steadily, reaching the statutorily required level of 1.35 percent by 2019.

The FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF) is the successor to FSLIC assets and liabilities from thrift resolutions prior to August 1989. Beginning in August 1989, the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) assumed responsibility for the FSLIC's unresolved cases. On December 31, 1995, the RTC was terminated and its assets and liabilities were transferred to FRF.

Funds for FRF operations have come from: income earned on its assets; liquidation proceeds from receiverships; the proceeds of the sale of bonds by the Financing Corporation; and, a portion of insurance premiums paid by Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) members prior to 1993. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (P.L. 101–73) authorizes appropriations to make up for any shortfall. The FRF will terminate upon the disposition of all of its assets, and any net proceeds will be deposited into the General Fund of the Treasury. Net proceeds from the former RTC will be paid to the Resolution Funding Corporation. Based on information provided by the FDIC, the Budget projects this dissolution to occur in 2017.

Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) (P.L. 111–203) established a new Orderly Liquidation Authority permitting the appointment of the FDIC as receiver of financial companies whose failure and resolution under otherwise applicable Federal or State law is determined to have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States. The aim of the Orderly Liquidation Authority is to resolve efficiently and effectively the failure of a large, interconnected financial company, while limiting the disruptions to the financial markets and the economy.

The Orderly Liquidation Authority receivership mechanism may be used with respect to a variety of financial companies whose failure and resolution under otherwise applicable Federal or State law would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States. These include bank holding companies, nonbank financial companies supervised by the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors (FRB), companies predominantly engaged in activities the FRB has determined are financial in nature under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, and subsidiaries of any of the foregoing companies. The FRB and the prudential regulator (the FDIC or the Securities and Exchange Commission) or the Federal Insurance Office must recommend in writing that the Treasury Secretary appoint the FDIC as receiver for a failing financial company. The Treasury Secretary must then, in consultation with the President, determine whether seven criteria authorizing the appointment of the FDIC as receiver for the failing financial company have been satisfied, including finding that resolution under otherwise applicable Federal or State law would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States. If the Secretary of the Treasury makes such determination, he/she will seek a court order to appoint the FDIC as receiver unless the board of directors of the financial company acquiesces to the appointment. The FDIC's authorities as receiver under an Orderly Liquidation Authority receivership are largely comparable to its current receivership authority over failed depository institutions under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

The Act states that "no taxpayer funds will be used to prevent the liquidation of any financial company" under the Orderly Liquidation Authority. It establishes an Orderly Liquidation Fund that would be funded by the Treasury in the event of an Orderly Liquidation Authority receivership, which will be available to the FDIC to carry out its authorities as receiver. If it is used by the FDIC, the Orderly Liquidation Fund must be repaid to the Treasury with interest within 60 months. If the full repayment of the Orderly Liquidation Fund with interest cannot be achieved using proceeds from the liquidation of the financial company, then the FDIC is authorized to charge "eligible financial companies" (bank holding companies with consolidated assets of at least $50 billion and nonbank financial companies supervised by the FRB) risk-based assessments to recoup any unpaid Orderly Liquidation Funds and interest thereon. While the Budget does not forecast any specific systemic failure, estimates are derived from a probabilistic model that incorporates historic systemic failure information in OECD countries.

FDIC's Office of Inspector General (OIG) is an independent unit within FDIC that conducts audits, evaluations, and investigations of corporate activities. In addition, the OIG assists the FDIC in preventing and detecting fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. The OIG was established by the FDIC Board of Directors pursuant to the Inspector General Act amendments of 1988 (P.L. 100–504). The Resolution Trust Corporation Completion Act (P.L. 103–204), enacted December 17, 1993, provided that the FDIC Inspector General be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Completion Act thus added FDIC to the list of establishments whose OIGs have separate appropriation accounts under Section 1105(a) of Title 31, United States Code. The OIG's appropriations are derived from the Deposit Insurance Fund; however, to the extent that the OIG performs work in connection with the FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF), the cost of such work shall be derived from the FRF.

Federal Drug Control Programs

Federal Funds

For necessary expenses of the Office of National Drug Control Policy's High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program, [$245,000,000] $193,400,000, to remain available until September 30, [2016] 2017, for drug control activities consistent with the approved strategy for each of the designated High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas ("HIDTAs"), of which not less than 51 percent shall be transferred to State and local entities for drug control activities and shall be obligated not later than 120 days after enactment of this Act: Provided, That up to 49 percent may be transferred to Federal agencies and departments in amounts determined by the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, of which up to $2,700,000 may be used for auditing services and associated activities: Provided further, That, notwithstanding the requirements of Public Law 106–58, any unexpended funds obligated prior to fiscal year [2013] 2014 may be used for any other approved activities of that HIDTA, subject to reprogramming requirements: [Provided further, That each HIDTA designated as of September 30, 2014, shall be funded at not less than the fiscal year 2014 base level, unless the Director submits to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate justification for changes to those levels based on clearly articulated priorities and published Office of National Drug Control Policy performance measures of effectiveness: Provided further, That the Director shall notify the Committees on Appropriations of the initial allocation of fiscal year 2015 funding among HIDTAs not later than 45 days after enactment of this Act, and shall notify the Committees of planned uses of discretionary HIDTA funding, as determined in consultation with the HIDTA Directors, not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act:] Provided further, That upon a determination that all or part of the funds so transferred from this appropriation are not necessary for the purposes provided herein, [and upon notification to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate,] such amounts may be transferred back to this appropriation: Provided further, That the restriction on the percentage of funds appropriated for the HIDTA Program that can be "expended for the establishment of drug prevention programs" contained in section 707(f) of title VII of division C of Public Law 105–277, as amended, shall not apply to funds appropriated for the program in fiscal year 2016; and that the restriction that no funds appropriated for the HIDTA Program can be "expended for the establishment or expansion of drug treatment programs" contained in section 707(f) of title VII of division C of Public Law 105–277, as amended, shall not prohibit funds appropriated for the program in fiscal year 2016 from being used to support any initiatives that provide access to addiction treatment as part of a diversion or other alternative sentencing or community reentry program for drug offenders.

The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program was established by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, as amended, and the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006, to provide assistance to Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement entities operating in those areas most adversely affected by drug trafficking.

The HIDTA program provides resources to Federal, state, local, and tribal agencies in each HIDTA region to carry out activities that address the specific drug threats of that region. A central feature of the HIDTA program is the discretion granted to HIDTA Executive Boards to design and carry out activities that reflect the specific drug trafficking threats found in each HIDTA region. This discretion ensures that each HIDTA Executive Board can tailor its strategy and initiatives closely to local conditions and can respond quickly to changes in those conditions. Among the types of activities funded by the HIDTA program are: drug enforcement task forces comprised of multiple Federal, state, local, and tribal agencies designed to dismantle and disrupt drug trafficking organizations (DTOs); multi-agency intelligence centers that provide drug intelligence to HIDTA initiatives and participating agencies; initiatives to establish or improve interoperability of communications and information systems between and among law enforcement agencies; and investments in technology infrastructure.

Law enforcement agencies have substantial experience in implementing problem-oriented policing strategies and are well positioned to promote and participate in community-based drug prevention and treatment programs. To that end, ONDCP requests language to remove the program cap on prevention spending and to modify the restrictions currently in place for drug treatment programs. This change will enable HIDTAs to place more emphasis on expanding prevention efforts and to support initiatives that provide access to treatment for substance use disorders as part of a diversion or other alternative sentencing or community reentry program.

The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, as amended, and the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006, established this account to be administered by the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). The funds appropriated to the program support high-priority drug control programs and may be transferred to drug control agencies.

For 2016, funds appropriated to this account, will be used for the following activities:

Drug Free Communities Support Program._The Drug Free Communities Support (DFC) Program provides small grants (no more than $125,000 per year for an initial 5-year period) to established local community drug free coalitions. The grants are awarded competitively to community coalitions that organize multiple sectors of a community to focus on local needs as a means for reducing and/or preventing youth substance use.

Anti-Doping Efforts._This funding continues the effort to educate athletes on the dangers of drug use and to eliminate illegal drug use in Olympic and associated sports in the United States.

World Anti-Doping Agency Dues._ONDCP represents the United States in the World Anti-Doping Agency which promotes and coordinates international activities against doping in sport, in all its forms, and is responsible for the payment of U.S. dues.

The Federal Election Commission is responsible for facilitating transparency in the Federal election process through public disclosure of campaign finance activity and for encouraging voluntary compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act by providing information and policy guidance about the Act and Commission regulations to the public, media, political committees, and election officials. The Commission is also responsible for enforcing the Act through audits, investigations, and civil litigation, and for developing the law by administering and interpreting the Act, the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act, and the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account Act.

The Budget proposes to require Senate Campaign Committees to file campaign finance reports electronically with the Federal Election Commission, which is consistent with the reporting requirements for all other Federal political committees. This measure will save at least $430,000 annually by reducing costs for manual data entry and promote transparency by expediting the process by which the reports are made available to the public.

The Commission is authorized to submit, concurrently, budget estimates to the President and the Congress.

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council was established in 1979 pursuant to the Financial Institutions Regulatory and Interest Rate Control Act of 1978 (FIRA) (P.L. 95–630). In 1989, pursuant to the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), the Appraisal Subcommittee was established within the Council.

The Council is empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms for the Federal examination of financial institutions and to make recommendations to promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions. The Council's members are a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Chairman of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Chairman of the State Liaison Committee, which is made up of five representatives from State regulatory agencies.

In addition to its responsibilities under FIRA and FIRREA, the Council was given responsibilities by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 and the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996.

The Budget estimates the Council will spend approximately $15 million during 2016 from resources provided by its Federal members and other fees and reimbursements.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (P.L. 101–73) established the Appraisal Subcommittee of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (ASC). The ASC is composed of representatives of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

The ASC is charged with ensuring that real estate appraisals used in federally-related transactions are performed in accordance with uniform standards by appraisers certified and licensed by the States. Its responsibilities include: (1) monitoring the requirements established by the States for the certification and licensing of appraisers and the registration and supervision of the operations and activities of appraisal management companies; (2) monitoring the requirements established by the Federal financial institutions' regulatory agencies regarding appraisal standards for federally related transactions under their jurisdiction; (3) monitoring and reviewing the practices, procedures, activities, and organization of the Appraisal Foundation; (4) maintaining a national registry of licensed and certified appraisers and appraisal management companies; (5) transmitting an annual report to Congress no later than June 15th; and (6) making grants to the Appraisal Foundation and State Appraiser certifying and licensing agencies.

The ASC activities, including grants awarded to the Appraisal Foundation, were initially funded from a one-time appropriation of $5 million. These funds were repaid to Treasury at the end of 1998. The ASC is now operating on fee income from State-licensed and State-certified real estate appraisers in the national registry. The Budget projects that the ASC will spend approximately $4 million in 2016.

The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) is an independent administrative Federal agency created by Title VII of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (the Statute) with a mission to carry out five statutory responsibilities: (1) determining the appropriateness of units for Labor organization representation; (2) resolving complaints of unfair labor practices; (3) adjudicating exceptions to arbitrators' awards; (4) adjudicating legal issues relating to duty to bargain; and (5) resolving impasses during negotiations. All work throughout the agency is undertaken to support a single program—to administer and enforce the Statute by determining the respective rights of employees, agencies, and labor organizations in their relations with one another.

FLRA's authority is divided by law and by delegation among a three-member Authority and an Office of General Counsel, appointed by the President and subject to Senate confirmation; and the Federal Service Impasses Panel, which consists of seven part-time members appointed by the President.

FLRA does not initiate cases. Proceedings before FLRA originate from filings arising through the actions of Federal employees, Federal agencies, or Federal labor organizations. Nationwide, FLRA includes seven Regional Offices and a Headquarters site in Washington, D.C.

Authority._The Authority adjudicates appeals filed by either Federal agencies or Federal labor organizations on negotiability issues, exceptions to arbitration awards, appeals of representation decisions, eligibility of labor organizations for national consultation rights, and unfair labor practice complaints.

Office of the General Counsel._The General Counsel investigates allegations of unfair labor practices and processes representation petitions. In addition, the General Counsel conducts elections concerning the exclusive recognition of labor organizations and certifies the results of elections.

Federal Service Impasses Panel._The Panel resolves labor negotiation impasses between Federal agencies and labor organizations.

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board is responsible for managing the Thrift Savings Fund. Program administration for the Fund is financed from the Fund. Program expenses are derived first from Fund forfeitures of agency one percent automatic contributions for employees who separate from the Federal Government prior to vesting and then from earnings on all participant and agency contributions to the Fund.

The Thrift Savings Fund is a special tax-deferred savings fund established by the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986. Due to the fiduciary nature of the Fund, it is not included in the totals of the Federal budget. Information on the financial status and activities of the Fund follows this account.

The Fund is composed of individual accounts maintained by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board on behalf of the individual Federal employee participants in the Fund. All Federal civilian employees and members of the uniformed services are eligible to contribute to the Fund. However, only those civilian employees covered by the Federal Employees' Retirement System (or equivalent retirement systems) and a limited category of uniformed services personnel may have their contributions matched by the employing agencies in accordance with the formulas prescribed by law. Employees can invest in five investment funds: a U.S. Government securities investment fund; a fixed income index investment fund; a common stock index investment fund; a small capitalization stock index investment fund; an international stock index investment fund; or in five lifecycle funds, which were introduced in August 2005. These funds are composed of varying allocations of the five core investment funds. The allocations are based on the target maturity date of each fund.

The mission of the Federal Trade Commission (the Commission or FTC) is working to protect consumers by preventing anticompetitive, deceptive, and unfair business practices; enhancing informed consumer choice and public understanding of the competitive process; and accomplishing this without unduly burdening legitimate business activity. The FTC's mission is based on a vision of a vibrant economy characterized by vigorous competition and consumer access to accurate information.

Protect Consumers.— This goal is to prevent fraud, deception, and unfair business practices in the marketplace. The agency works to accomplish this goal through three objectives: (1) Identify and take actions to address deceptive or unfair practices that harm consumers; (2) Provide the public with knowledge and tools to prevent harm to consumers; and (3) Collaborate with domestic and international partners to enhance consumer protection.

Promote Competition.— This goal is to prevent anticompetitive mergers and other anticompetitive business practices in the marketplace. The agency works to accomplish this goal through three objectives: (1) Identify and take actions to address anticompetitive mergers and practices that harm consumers; (2) Engage in effective research and stakeholder outreach to promote competition, advance its understanding, and create awareness of its benefits to consumers; and (3) Collaborate with domestic partners and international partners to preserve and promote competition.

The 2016 Budget includes a program level for the Commission of $309.2 million, funded by $191.7 million from the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury and offsetting collections from two sources: $103.5 million from fees for Hart-Scott-Rodino Act premerger notification filings as authorized by 15 U.S.C. 18a and $14 million from fees sufficient to implement and enforce the Telemarketing Sales Rule, promulgated under the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act (15 U.S.C. 6101 et seq., as amended).

The Budget proposes to increase the Hart-Scott-Rodino fees and index them for the percentage annual change in the gross national product. The fee proposal would also create a new merger fee category for mergers valued at over $1 billion. Under the proposal, the fee increase would take effect in 2017.

The Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012, or the RESTORE Act, dedicates 80 percent of any civil and administrative penalties paid under the Clean Water Act by responsible parties in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund (the Trust Fund). These funds may be used for ecosystem restoration, economic recovery, and tourism promotion in the Gulf Coast region.

In addition to establishing the Trust Fund, the RESTORE Act established the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (the Council). The Council has oversight over the expenditure of sixty percent of the funds made available from the Trust Fund. Thirty percent will be administered for restoration and protection according to the Comprehensive Plan developed by the Council. The other thirty percent will be allocated to the States according to a formula set forth in the RESTORE Act and spent according to individual State expenditure plans to contribute the overall economic and ecological recovery of the Gulf. The Council is chaired by the Secretary of Commerce and includes the Governors of the States of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas and the Secretaries of the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Army, Homeland Security and the Interior, and the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission) is an independent, nonpartisan Federal agency with broad investigative responsibilities on matters of trade. In accordance with its statutory mandate, the Commission makes determinations in proceedings involving imports claimed to injure a domestic industry or violate U.S. intellectual property rights; provides independent tariff, trade, and competitiveness-related analysis and information; and maintains the U.S. tariff schedule.

For 2016, the Commission requests an appropriation of $131.5 million to support its authorized operations. This request includes $42.7 million for costs associated with securing space for the agency following the expiration of its current lease in August 2017. Pursuant to section 175 of the Trade Act of 1974, the budget estimates for the Commission are transmitted to Congress without revision by the President.

Although the Commission has one program activity set forth in the Budget of the United States, the Commission's Strategic Plan for FY 2014–2018 sets two strategic goals that cover its programmatic responsibilities. The agency's goal to produce sound, objective, and timely determinations in investigative proceedings focuses on its import injury and unfair import investigative responsibilities. The agency's goal to produce objective, high-quality, and responsive tariff, trade, and competitiveness-related analysis and information encompasses two areas. First, it focuses on the responsibility to maintain the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. Second, it focuses on the agency's role to independently provide the highest caliber of information and analysis to U.S. policymakers in a timely manner to assist them when they are securing benefits to the United States in trade negotiations and when they enact legislation or take other policy actions that affect the U.S. economy and industry competitiveness. The Commission also set a management goal to achieve agency-wide efficiency and effectiveness to advance its mission. The agency's focus is on three functional areas—human resources; budget, acquisitions, and finance; and information technology—as they play a critical role in supporting programmatic activities.

The Strategic Plan identifies strategic objectives for each strategic or management goal, strategies to meet these objectives, and specific performance goals. The Plan also identifies two cross-cutting objectives. The performance goals provide the basis by which the agency can assess whether it is making progress toward its strategic objectives.

The Commission makes available its Strategic Plan, Agency Financial Report, Annual Performance Plan, Annual Performance Report, and Budget Justification at http://www.usitc.gov.

Public Laws 99–500, 101–208, and 102–221 established the James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation to operate a fellowship program to encourage graduate study of the framing, principles, and history of the American Constitution. Appropriations of $10 million in 1988 and 1989 established the foundation's trust fund. The funds have been invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in U.S. Treasury securities, and the interest earned on these funds is available for carrying out the activities of the foundation. Funds raised from private sources and the surcharges from commemorative coin sales are also placed in the trust fund.

The Foundation is authorized to award graduate fellowships of up to $24,000 to high school teachers of American history, American government, and social studies. College seniors and recent college graduates who want to become secondary school teachers of these subjects are also eligible.

Fellowship awards._This activity is comprised of fellowship awards to cover educational expenses. It also supports the Foundation's annual Summer Institute on the U.S. Constitution, which all current fellows are required to attend. The Institute is an intensive educational experience that will ensure that all fellows know the history of the framing, ratification, and implementation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Program administration._This activity covers the costs of planning, fund-raising, and the operation of the fellowship program.

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) distributes appropriated funds to local non-profit organizations that provide free civil legal assistance, according to locally-determined priorities, to people living in poverty. The Congress chartered the corporation as a private, non-profit entity outside of the Federal Government. Funding for LSC helps ensure that low-income Americans have an opportunity to obtain access to the courts, due process, and fair treatment. The Budget proposes to continue the Pro Bono Innovation Fund that was established in 2014, to support new and innovative projects that promote and enhance pro bono initiatives throughout the country.

None of the funds appropriated in this Act to the Legal Services Corporation shall be expended for any purpose prohibited or limited by, or contrary to any of the provisions of, sections 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, and 506 of Public Law 105–119, and all funds appropriated in this Act to the Legal Services Corporation shall be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in such sections, except that all references in sections 502 and 503 to 1997 and 1998 shall be deemed to refer instead to [2014] 2015 and [2015] 2016, respectively.

Section 504(a) of the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996 (Public Law 104–134) is amended by—

(b) inserting "in a manner" after "(which may be referred to in this section as a 'recipient')"; and

(c) deleting paragraphs (7) and (13) and renumbering the remaining paragraphs accordingly. (Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015.)

The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is an independent agency in the Executive Branch of the Federal government that serves as the guardian of Federal merit systems. The Board's mission is to protect Federal merit systems and the rights of individuals within those systems. The MSPB accomplishes its mission by: hearing and deciding employee appeals from agency actions; hearing and deciding cases brought by the Special Counsel involving alleged abuses of the merit systems, and other cases arising under the Board's original jurisdiction; conducting studies of the civil service and other merit systems in the Executive Branch to determine whether they are free from prohibited personnel practices; and providing oversight of the significant actions and regulations of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to determine whether they are in accord with merit system principles. The MSPB's inception began in 1883, when Congress passed the Pendleton Act establishing the Civil Service Commission and a merit-based employment system for the Federal government. The Pendleton Act grew out of the 19th Century reform movement to curtail the excesses of political patronage in government. As the Commission's responsibilities multiplied, a growing consensus emerged that it could not properly and adequately perform managerial and adjudicatory functions simultaneously. Concern over the inherent conflict of interest in the Commission's role as both rule-maker and judge was a principal motivating factor behind the enactment by Congress of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. The Act replaced the Civil Service Commission with three new independent agencies: the OPM, which manages the Federal workforce; the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which oversees Federal labor-management relations; and the MSPB. The MSPB assumed the employee appeals functions of the Commission and was given the new responsibilities to perform merit systems studies and to review the significant actions of the OPM.

In 1998, Public Law 105–56 created the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution as the only federal entity focused entirely on preventing and resolving environmental conflicts and promoting collaborative decision making. The Institute, part of the Udall Foundation, serves as an impartial, non-partisan institution providing assessment, mediation, facilitation, training, and other related services to resolve disputes involving agencies and instrumentalities of the United States involved in natural resource and public lands conflicts, including matters related to energy, transportation, and land use. The Institute helps parties determine whether collaborative problem solving is appropriate for specific environmental challenges, the most suitable methods for bringing the parties together, and whether a third-party neutral might be helpful in assisting the parties in their efforts to reach consensus or to resolve the conflict. In addition to providing services directly, the Institute maintains a roster of qualified professional facilitators and mediators with substantial experience in environmental collaboration and conflict resolution, including a roster of neutrals with expertise in dealing with Native American Tribal issues, and can help parties in selecting an appropriate neutral.

Public Law 102–259 established the Udall Foundation to provide educational resources to promote studies in the natural environment and Native American public health and Tribal policy. In 2013, the Udall Foundation awarded 50 undergraduate scholarships. In FY 2013 the Foundation reduced the level of scholarships and did not offer fellowships as a result of a decrease in interest generated by the Trust Fund. Twelve participants in the Native American Congressional Summer Internship Program spent ten weeks in Congressional offices, the Council on Environmental Quality, and Executive Branch agencies participating in a program created by the Udall Foundation.

The mission of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is to objectively and independently oversee the operation of federally insured credit unions, facilitating the availability of credit union services to all eligible consumers, especially those of modest means, through an objective independent regulatory environment that protects credit union members. Credit unions are privately owned, cooperative associations organized for the purpose of promoting thrift among their members and creating a source of credit for provident and productive purposes.

The NCUA, through its operating fund, conducts activities prescribed by the Federal Credit Union Act of 1934, as amended, which include: 1) chartering new federal credit unions; 2) approving field of membership applications of federal credit unions; 3) promulgating regulations and providing guidance; 4) performing regulatory compliance and safety and soundness examinations; 5) implementing and administering enforcement actions, such as prohibition orders, orders to cease and desist, and orders of conservatorship and liquidation; and 6) administering the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share Insurance Fund).

The NCUA funds its activities through operating fees levied on all Federal credit unions and through reimbursements from the Share Insurance Fund, which is funded by both Federal credit unions and Federally insured state-chartered credit unions. In 2014, NCUA chartered three new Federal credit unions, bringing the total number of Federal credit unions to 3,981 with total assets of more than $595 billion.

The primary purpose of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund is to provide insurance for deposits of member accounts (also known as insured member shares) in Federal credit unions and State-chartered credit unions that apply and qualify for insurance under the Federal Credit Union Act. As of September 30, 2014, 6,350 State and Federal credit unions were insured by the Share Insurance Fund with insured member shares of $896 billion—an increase of $34 billion, or four percent, from 2013.

Following a cost allocation method to distribute costs of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) between its insurance and regulatory functions, the Share Insurance Fund reimburses the NCUA operating fund for its share of administrative costs. In 2014, the Share Insurance Fund paid reimbursements of $168 million to the operating fund. For more information, please see the Credit and Insurance chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget.

The Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund (Stabilization Fund) was created under the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009 (P.L. 111–22). The Stabilization Fund was established to accrue the losses of the corporate credit unions during the financial crisis that began in 2008 and to recover such losses over time through mitigation efforts and assessments on Federally insured credit unions. Remaining resolution costs of corporate credit union failures are projected to range from approximately $2.6 to $4.6 billion. Federally insured credit unions have already paid assessments totaling $4.8 billion.

In September 2010, with the concurrence of the U.S. Treasury, NCUA extended the sunset of the Stabilization Fund through FY 2021. For more information, please see the Credit and Insurance chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget.

The purpose of the Central Liquidity Facility (CLF), established under Title III of the Federal Credit Union Act, is to improve the general financial stability of credit unions by meeting their liquidity needs through short-term, seasonal and/or protracted adjustment credit and thereby encourage savings, support consumer and mortgage lending, and provide basic financial resources to all segments of the economy. The two primary sources of funds for the CLF are stock subscriptions from credit unions and borrowings from the Federal Financing Bank. Through the recent economic crisis, the CLF supported the credit union system with special liquidity programs designed to provide stability and confidence. The programs were instrumental in stabilizing the corporate credit union system during the height of the financial crisis. The borrowing authority of the CLF currently stands at $5.1 billion.

The Community Development Revolving Loan Fund (CDRLF) was established by Congress under Section 130 of the Federal Credit Union Act with a $6 million appropriation to assist credit unions serving low-income communities to: 1) provide financial services to their communities; 2) stimulate economic activities in their communities, resulting in increased income and employment; and 3) operate more efficiently. CDRLF funds a revolving loan program and a technical assistance program. Since the initial loan program appropriation in 1979, Congress has appropriated an additional $13.4 million for the revolving loan program and approximately $12.9 million for the technical assistance program. Credit unions use the loan and technical assistance funds to increase financial services to their communities, including financial counseling, new loan products, and enhanced electronic services. As of September 30, 2014, the CDRLF's revolving loan portfolio had $8.2 million in outstanding loans (22 loans outstanding to 22 credit unions). In FY 2014, CDRLF made 337 technical assistance awards totaling $1.6 million from the multi-year appropriations received. As of September 30, 2014, total assets in the CDRLF, including interest earned and appropriations, were $17 million.

The mission of the National Endowment for the Arts is to advance artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The Arts Endowment achieves its mission primarily through grant programs, special initiatives and honorific awards. The Arts Endowment supports these projects with public and private partners, including the State arts agencies and regional arts organizations. In 2016, the Arts Endowment will continue to implement Our Town, a uniquely arts-based program to strengthen communities of all sizes, and the NEA/Walter Reed Healing Arts Partnership, an arts partnership with the Department of Defense bringing creative arts therapy programs to patients at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Fort Belvoir Community Hospital Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic.

The National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965, as amended, also authorizes the Arts Endowment to receive money and other donated property; such gifts may be used, sold, or otherwise disposed of to support arts projects and activities. This presentation also includes the Arts and Artifacts Indemnity Fund, which the Arts Endowment administers on behalf of the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) supports education, scholarship, and research and development in the humanities; preserves America's cultural and intellectual resources; and provides opportunities for all Americans to engage in learning in the humanities. In 2016, NEH will continue to support partnerships with state humanities councils; the strengthening of humanities teaching and learning in the nation's schools and institutions of higher education; basic research and original scholarship in the humanities; innovative use of digital information technology; efforts to preserve and increase access to books, U.S. newspapers, documents, and other reference materials; and museum exhibitions, documentary films, radio programming, and reading programs that reach millions of Americans. In 2016, NEH will support a new special initiative, "The Common Good: The Humanities in the Public Sphere", designed to enhance the scope and significance of the humanities and the role that humanities scholarship can play in our nation's public life.

Support is provided through outright grants, matching grants, and a combination of the two. Eligible applicants include state humanities councils, educational institutions, libraries, archives, museums, historical organizations, and other scholarly and cultural institutions and organizations. Support is also provided to individuals for advanced research and scholarship in the humanities.

This presentation also includes the Gifts and Donations account. The National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965, as amended, authorizes the Humanities Endowment to receive money and other donated property. Such gifts may be used, sold, or otherwise disposed of to support humanities projects and activities. Budget authority in this schedule reflects cash received each year by the Endowment.

To direct Federal resources for infrastructure to projects that demonstrate the most merit and may be difficult to fund under the current patchwork of Federal programs, the President has called for the creation of an independent, non-partisan National Infrastructure Bank (NIB), led by infrastructure and financial experts. The NIB would offer broad eligibility and unbiased selection for transportation, water, and energy infrastructure projects. Projects would have a clear public benefit, meet rigorous economic, technical and environmental standards, and be backed by a dedicated revenue stream. Geographic, sector, and size considerations would also be taken into account. Interest rates on loans issued by the NIB would be indexed to United States Treasury rates, and the maturity could be extended up to 35 years, giving the NIB the ability to be a patient partner side-by-side with State, local, and private co-investors. To maximize leverage from Federal investments, the NIB would finance no more than 50 percent of the total costs of any project.

The Board resolves representation disputes in industry and also remedies and prevents specified unfair labor practices by employers or labor organizations. Case intake and additional program statistics appear in the table below.


	2014 actual	2015 est.	2016 est.

Case intake:
Unfair labor practice cases	23092	23200	23300

Field investigation._Charges of unfair labor practices and petitions for elections to resolve representation disputes are investigated by regional office personnel. Approximately 90–96 percent of merit unfair labor practice cases are closed by settlement, dismissal, or withdrawal. The remainder are prepared for public hearing. About 85–90 percent of representation elections are held pursuant to agreement of the parties. The agency strives to maximize the voluntary settlement of all cases and to avoid litigation.

Administrative law judge hearing._Administrative law judges conduct public hearings in unfair labor practice cases. Their findings and recommendations are set forth in their decisions.

Board adjudication._In an unfair labor practice case, a judge's decision becomes a Board order if no exceptions are filed. About 30 percent of these decisions become automatic Board orders or are complied with voluntarily. The remainder, with exceptions filed, require a Board decision. In representation cases, regional directors initially decide the issues by Board delegation. The Board itself decides representation issues on referral from regional directors or by granting a request for review of a regional director's decision. The Board also rules on objection and challenge questions in election cases.

Securing compliance with Board orders._Unlike other federal agencies, Board orders are not self-enforcing in the absence of a timely petition to review. If the parties do not voluntarily comply with a Board order involving unfair labor practices, the Board must request that an appellate court enforce the decision.

Mediatory and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services._The National Mediation Board mediates disputes over wages, hours, and working conditions for some 746 rail and air carriers and approximately 795,000 employees in the two industries.
The Board also provides technical assistance to enable labor and industry representatives to explore informally the relevant economic and noneconomic problems that condition collective bargaining in the railroad and airline industries. The Board's ADR program provides collective bargaining training, facilitation, and grievance mediation services to the labor-management community.

Emergency disputes._When the parties fail to resolve their disputes through mediation, they are urged to submit their differences to arbitration. If neither mediation nor voluntary arbitration is successful, the President, when notified of disputes which substantially threaten to interrupt essential service, may appoint emergency boards to investigate and report on the dispute. Such reports usually serve as a basis for resolving the disputes.

Arbitration services._Arbitration is governed by sections 3 and 7 of the Railway Labor Act. Railroad employee grievances resulting from disputes over the interpretation or application of collective bargaining contracts may be brought for settlement to the National Railroad Adjustment Board (NRAB). The divisions of the NRAB are composed of an equal number of carrier and union representatives compensated by the party or parties they represent. Public Law 89–456 provides for the adjustment of disputes involving grievances resulting from interpretation or application of bargaining agreements in the railroad industry and for disputes otherwise referable to the NRAB. In these disputes, the National Mediation Board compensates the neutral party selected to help resolve these grievances.
Administrative direction and support for the public law boards, special boards of adjustment, and the NRAB are provided by Federal employees who are compensated by the National Mediation Board.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent nonregulatory agency that promotes transportation safety by maintaining independence and objectivity; conducting objective, precise accident investigations and safety studies; performing fair and objective airman and mariner certification appeals; and advocating and promoting NTSB safety recommendations. The NTSB also provides assistance to victims of transportation accidents and their families.

In 2016, the Administration proposes a total funding level of $ $105 million for NTSB Salaries and Expenses to allow the NTSB to fulfill its role in improving safety on the Nation's transportation system.

The National Transportation Safety Board is mandated by Congress to investigate all catastrophic transportation accidents and; therefore, has no control over the frequency of costly accident investigations. The emergency fund provides a funding mechanism by which periodic accident investigation cost fluctuations can be met without delaying critical phases of the investigations. The current balance of $2 million is sufficient to cover unanticipated costs associated with an increased number of accidents, and thus the Administration does not propose new funding in 2016.

Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation

Federal Funds

For payment to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation for use in neighborhood reinvestment activities, as authorized by the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation Act (42 U.S.C. 8101–8107), [$135,000,000] $136,600,000, of which $5,000,000 shall be for a multi-family rental housing program: Provided, That in addition, [$50,000,000] $45,700,000 shall be made available until expended to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation for mortgage foreclosure mitigation activities, under the following terms and conditions:

(1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation ("NRC") shall make grants to counseling intermediaries approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (with match to be determined by the NRC based on affordability and the economic conditions of an area; a match also may be waived by the NRC based on the aforementioned conditions) to provide mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance primarily to States and areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures to help eliminate the default and foreclosure of mortgages of owner-occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such foreclosure. Other than areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures, grants may also be provided to approved counseling intermediaries based on a geographic analysis of the Nation by the NRC which determines where there is a prevalence of mortgages that are risky and likely to fail, including any trends for mortgages that are likely to default and face foreclosure. A State Housing Finance Agency may also be eligible where the State Housing Finance Agency meets all the requirements under this paragraph. A HUD-approved counseling intermediary shall meet certain mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance counseling requirements, as determined by the NRC, and shall be approved by HUD or the NRC as meeting these requirements.

(2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall only be made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes with mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mortgages shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners will be provided such assistance that shall consist of activities that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result in the long-term affordability of the mortgage retained pursuant to such activity or another positive outcome for the homeowner. No funds made available under this paragraph may be provided directly to lenders or homeowners to discharge outstanding mortgage balances or for any other direct debt reduction payments.

(3) The use of mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance by approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing Finance Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the borrower's financial situation, an evaluation of the current value of the property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling regarding the assumption of the mortgage by another non-Federal party, counseling regarding the possible purchase of the mortgage by a non-Federal third party, counseling and advice of all likely restructuring and refinancing strategies or the approval of a work-out strategy by all interested parties.

(4) NRC may provide up to 15 percent of the total funds under this paragraph to its own charter members with expertise in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a certification by the NRC that the procedures for selection do not consist of any procedures or activities that could be construed as a conflict of interest or have the appearance of impropriety.

(5) HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall have demonstrated experience in successfully working with financial institutions as well as borrowers facing default, delinquency and foreclosure as well as documented counseling capacity, outreach capacity, past successful performance and positive outcomes with documented counseling plans (including post mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan workout agreements and loan modification agreements. NRC may use other criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas.

(6) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up to $2,500,000 may be made available to build the mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity of counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with HUD-approved counseling intermediaries and their partners, except that private financial institutions that participate in NRC training shall pay market rates for such training.

(7) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up to 5 percent may be used for associated administrative expenses for the NRC to carry out activities provided under this section.

(8) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph, up to $4,000,000 may be used for wind-down and closeout of the mortgage foreclosure mitigation activities program.

(9) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance grants may include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, as determined by the NRC.

(10) The NRC shall continue to report bi-annually to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee on its efforts to mitigate mortgage default.

The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (NRC), doing business as "NeighborWorks America," was established by the Congress in 1978 as a community/public/private partnership providing financial support, technical assistance, and training for affordable housing and community-based revitalization efforts nationwide. Through its core activities, NRC supports more than 3,500 non-profit organizations and municipalities across the United States, including more than 240 chartered community-based non-profit organizations that comprise the NeighborWorks network, through activities such as professional training and certification, symposiums, development and promotion of industry standards, and the provision of operating and capital resources to support the development and preservation of affordable homes and improvements to their communities. NRC has administered the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling program since 2008. NRC receives both Federal and non-Federal funding to finance its program activities. The Budget proposes $182.3 million for NRC: $136.6 million for its operations and grants to network members, and $45.7 million for foreclosure prevention counseling.

Nuclear Reactor Safety._The Nuclear Reactor Safety Program encompasses U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) mission to license and regulate the Nation's civilian nuclear power, research, and test reactors in order to protect public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment. This program contributes to the NRC's Safety and Security goals through the activities of the Operating Reactors and New Reactors Business Lines that license and regulate existing and new nuclear reactors. Through this program, NRC provides high assurance of physical security, safe operation, and protection from radiological sabotage.

Nuclear Materials and Waste Safety._The Nuclear Materials and Safety Program encompasses the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) mission to regulate nuclear materials and waste in a manner that adequately protects public health and safety, promotes common defense and security, and protects the environment. Through this program, the NRC regulates uranium processing and fuel facilities; nuclear materials users (medical, industrial, research, academic); spent fuel storage; transportation of radioactive materials; decontamination and decommissioning of facilities; and low-level and high-level radioactive waste. This program contributes to the NRC's Safety and Security goals through the activities of the Fuel Facilities, Nuclear Materials Users, Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation, and Decommissioning and Low-Level Waste Business Lines.

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics, established by the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, provides overall leadership and oversight of the executive branch ethics program designed to prevent and resolve conflicts of interest. OGE's mission is part of the very foundation of public service. The first principle in the Fourteen Principles of Public Service is, "[p]ublic service is a public trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws and ethical principles above private gain." Public servants are expected to make impartial decisions based on the interests of the public when performing their job duties. The executive branch ethics program ensures that employees fulfill this great trust. OGE works with a community of ethics practitioners in more than 130 agencies to implement that program.

To carry out its leadership and oversight responsibilities, OGE promulgates and maintains enforceable standards of ethical conduct for approximately 2.7 million employees in over 130 executive branch agencies and the White House; oversees a financial disclosure system that reaches more than 27,000 public and more than 370,000 confidential financial disclosure report filers; ensures that executive branch ethics programs are in compliance with applicable ethics laws and regulations; provides education and training to the more than 5,000 ethics officials executive branch-wide; conducts outreach to the general public, the private sector, and civil society; and provides technical assistance to state, local, and foreign governments, and international organizations.

The Office of Special Counsel (OSC): 1) investigates Federal employee and applicant allegations of prohibited personnel practices (including reprisal for whistleblowing) and other activities prohibited by civil service law and, when appropriate, prosecutes before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB); 2) provides a safe channel for whistleblowing by Federal employees and applicants; 3) investigates and enforces the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA); and 4) advises on and enforces the Hatch Act. OSC may transmit whistleblower allegations to the agency head concerned and require an agency investigation. OSC then submits a report to the Congress and the President when appropriate.

In 2014, a record 5,236 cases were submitted to OSC for assistance or action by federal employees and other persons, an increase of 16 percent over 2013 levels. Of this total, 3,371 were prohibited personnel practice cases, a 15 percent increase from last year and a new record for the agency. In 2014, OSC resolved 4,666 matters, the second highest total in the agency's history. OSC obtained a record 174 favorable actions for federal employees in response to prohibited personnel practice complaints, including 138 favorable actions in response to complaints of reprisal for whistleblowing. During 2014, OSC received 1,554 disclosures, an all-time high and a 38% increase over 2013 levels. OSC's Disclosure Unit processed and closed a record 1,315 disclosures, a 15% increase from last year, and referred 92 disclosures of waste, fraud, and abuse to agency heads for investigation. During 2014, OSC received a record number of whistleblower disclosures from employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). OSC's work with VA whistleblowers helped to promote accountability and improvements within the VA. OSC continues to receive a disproportionate number of cases from VA employees, has established a priority intake system for VA claims, and is working with the new VA leadership to secure relief, where appropriate, for VA whistleblowers. Finally, in 2014, OSC's work with whistleblowers at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) led to significant reforms in overtime pay for certain DHS employees and congressional enactment of a revised pay system for Border Patrol Agents. These reforms will result in as much as $100 million in annual cost savings.


	Cases Received 2014	Cases Resolved 2014

Case type:
Prohibited personnel practice complaints	3,371	3,003
Hatch Act complaints	151	182
Whistleblower disclosures	1,554	1,315
USERRA cases	160	166

Totals	5,236	4,666

For 2015 and 2016, OSC projects intakes for whistleblower disclosure, Hatch Act, and prohibited personnel practice cases to increase significantly above 2014 case levels. OSC's caseload will continue to increase in light of the ongoing issues at the Department of Veterans Affairs and the increased media exposure VA whistleblowers and whistleblowers in general are receiving. Moreover, with a Presidential election looming in 2016, it is only reasonable to assume that Hatch Act complaints will also increase. Overall, the funding requested for 2016 will enable OSC to meet rising demand for OSC's services, protect the growing number of whistleblowers in the VA and other agencies, protect the employment rights of returning service members, manage continually rising case levels, and protect the federal merit system from prohibited personnel and political practices.

The Office of the Federal Coordinator for Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Projects (OFC), established by Public Law 108–324, is an independent agency in the Executive Branch, pursuant to the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act of 2004. The Federal Coordinator is responsible for coordinating Federal activities for an Alaska natural gas transportation project that delivers natural gas to the U.S. lower 48 states. Due to current and projected market conditions, project sponsors have set aside plans to deliver North Slope natural gas to the U.S. lower 48 states in favor of constructing a project to supply natural gas within Alaska and exports of liquefied natural gas to overseas markets. Language proposed for the FY 2016 General Provisions for Independent Agencies in the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act would expand the scope of OFC statutory authority to enable the OFC to carry out its duties with respect to the currently proposed projects.

The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, Public Law 91–375, converted the Post Office Department into the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), an independent establishment within the executive branch. The Postal Service commenced operations July 1, 1971. This agency is charged with providing patrons with reliable mail service at reasonable rates and fees.

The U.S. Postal Service is governed by an 11-member Board of Governors, including nine Governors appointed by the President, a Postmaster General who is selected by the Governors, and a Deputy Postmaster General who is selected by the Governors and the Postmaster General.

Effective in 1986, the Postal Service Fund (Fund) was included in the congressional and executive budget process and taken into account in making calculations under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings). The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 amended title 39 of the U.S. Code by adding a new section, 2009a, which provides that, beginning in 1990, the receipts and disbursements of the Fund shall not be considered as part of the congressional and executive budget process and shall not be taken into account in making calculations under Gramm-Rudman-Hollings.

Programs._Included are all postal activities providing window services; processing, delivery, and transportation of mail; research and development; administration of postal field activities; and associated expenses of providing facilities and equipment.
The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (P.L. 109–435), was signed by the President on December 20, 2006. The Act made a number of changes affecting the operations and oversight of the Postal Service. The Act provided for separate accounting and reporting for Postal Service activities related to: (1) products where the Postal Service dominates the market; and (2) products where the Postal Service is in a competitive market. The Act amended the process for determining rate increases for market-dominant products, in part by imposing a limitation on rate increases for at least the next 10 years linked to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). This was intended to provide the Postal Service with pricing flexibility and ratepayers with a degree of rate predictability. The Act also replaced the Postal Rate Commission with a Postal Regulatory Commission with expanded authorities, including subpoena powers.

Financing._The activities of the U.S. Postal Service are financed from the following sources: (1) mail and services revenue; (2) reimbursements from Federal and non-Federal sources; (3) proceeds from borrowing; (4) interest from U.S. securities and other investments; and (5) appropriations by the Congress. All receipts and deposits are made to the Postal Service Fund and are available without fiscal year limitation for payment of all expenses incurred, retirement of obligations, investment in capital assets, and investment in obligations and securities.
Separate legislation also increased the Postal Service's statutory borrowing authority beginning in 1991. Section 2005 of title 39, United States Code, as amended, increased the Postal Service's borrowing authority by $2.5 billion in 1991 for a revised ceiling of $12.5 billion and an additional $2.5 billion in 1992 for a revised total ceiling of $15 billion. The total annual increase in net outstanding debt was also increased to annually grow by up to $2.0 billion in obligations issued for the purpose of capital improvements and by $1.0 billion for the purpose of paying operating expenses. P.L. 109–435 removed the separate limitations on borrowing for capital improvements and operating expenses so that under the $15 billion debt cap, the annual increase in outstanding debt cannot now exceed a combined total of $3.0 billion. As of September 30, 2014, the total debt instruments issued and outstanding pursuant to this authority amounts to the full $15 billion.

Operating._According to USPS estimates, revenue will total approximately $70 billion in 2016. Total expenses are estimated at approximately $70 billion in 2016.
The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 established the Postal Service as a self-sufficient, independent entity. Postal revenues were to cover the full costs of postal operations. When the Act was passed, the Postal Service received substantial taxpayer subsidies, both appropriated and unappropriated. Consistent with the intent of the 1970 Act, the Congress has taken steps over time to reduce these subsidies, particularly by requiring the Postal Service to assume greater portions of its personnel-related costs. Since 1982 the Postal Service had not received any appropriations for general mail delivery as a public service. At the end of 2014, the Postal Service employed 488,000 persons (down from 623,000 at the end of 2009). Under the 1974 Civil Service Retirement Fund Postal Employee Benefits Act, the Postal Service assumed responsibility for paying unfunded retirement costs from wage schedule increases under Postal labor contracts that are not covered by normal employee/employer contributions to the retirement fund. The 1985 Reconciliation Act shifted responsibility for paying health benefit costs of Postal annuitants retiring after 1986 from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to the Postal Service. The 1987 Reconciliation Act had the Postal Service make one-time payments to defray annuitant health benefit costs in 1988 and 1989, and retirement COLA costs in 1988. (Retirement COLAs, like wage schedule increases, result in retirement liabilities not covered by normal retirement fund contributions.) Under the 1989 Reconciliation Act, the Postal Service assumed responsibility for paying health benefits of survivors of post-86 annuitants and unfunded retirement COLA liabilities for post-86 annuitants.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 superseded certain existing legislation and expanded the Postal Service's responsibility for benefit costs of Postal annuitants. Effective October 1, 1990, the Postal Service was required to fund Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) COLAs and the employer's share of Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) premiums for Postal annuitants who retired after June 30, 1971, and their survivors. In addition, the Postal Service was required to fund the retroactive CSRS COLA and FEHBP premium costs for which the Postal Service would have been liable if the provisions of this new legislation had been in effect as of July 1, 1971.
Under the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993, the Postal Service was required to make certain payments for past COLAs and health benefits, over and above any other payments required by law. This amounted to $693 million to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, and $348 million to the Employees Health Benefits Fund. These two amounts were made in three equal annual installments, beginning in fiscal year 1996.
The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 repealed the authorization for transitional appropriations to the Postal Service which had funded the liabilities of the former Post Office Department to the Employees' Compensation Fund. Effective October 1, 1997, these remaining claims became liabilities of the Postal Service payable out of the Postal Service Fund.
Early in 2003, OPM determined that, at the then-current rate of funding, the Postal Service would pay substantially more than needed to fund the estimated future benefits of postal employees and retirees participating in the Civil Service Retirement System. This projected over-funding resulted from interest earned by the fund in excess of the assumed statutory rate of five percent. As a result, the Administration proposed and the Congress passed CSRS reform legislation that was enacted on April 23, 2003 (P.L. 108–18). The provisions of P.L. 108–18 eliminated all future retirement liability payments related to general wage increases and the retirement COLA payments, and the Postal Service became responsible for the Civil Service retirement obligations related to military service of Postal Service employees. In addition, the Postal Service funded CSRS retirement benefits at 17.4 percent of current CSRS employees' wages, beginning in May 2003. This was a dynamic funding requirement, not a static requirement, thus employer contributions could change based on interest earnings and amounts that are needed to fund the full cost of the future benefit. Annually, OPM was directed to calculate the amount of any potential supplemental retirement liability and the Postal Service was required to fund any such liability in annual payments through a 40-year amortization schedule.
P.L. 109–435 created the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits (RHB) Fund to put the Postal Service on a path that fully funds its substantial retiree (annuitant) health benefits liabilities. This new Fund receives from the Postal Service: 1) The pension savings provided to the Postal Service by the Postal Civil Service Retirement System Funding Reform Act of 2003 (P.L. 108–18) that were held in escrow during 2006; 2) A 10-year stream of payments defined within P.L 109–435 to begin the liquidation of the Postal Service's unfunded liability for post-retirement health benefits; 3) Beginning in 2017, payments for the actuarial cost of Postal Service contributions for the post-retirement health benefits for its current employees; 4) Beginning in 2017, a 40-year amortization payment to fund any remaining unfunded liabilities associated with post-retirement health benefits of USPS employees; and 5) The surplus resources of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund that are not needed to finance future retirement benefits under CSRS to current or former employees of the Postal Service that are attributable to civilian employment with the Postal Service, including the savings from shifting the responsibility for retirement credit related to military service from the Postal Service to the Treasury (effectively eliminating the need for the dynamic CSRS funding payments and supplemental liability payments noted in the previous paragraph). As a result, beginning in 2017, the Postal Service will no longer pay annual premiums for its post-1971 annuitants. Instead, these premium payments will be paid from the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefit Fund. Payments for the portion of the premium costs of Postal Service annuitants pre-1971 service will continue to be paid by the General Fund of the Treasury through the Government Payment for Annuitants, Employees Health Benefits account.
Section 164 of Division B of P.L. 111–68, the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2010, reduced the 2009 amount USPS was required to contribute toward the liquidation of its post-retirement health benefits liability (item 2 in the preceding paragraph) from $5.4 billion to $1.4 billion. This reduction had the effect of increasing the size of 40-year amortization payment for the remaining unfunded liability that USPS is required to make starting in 2017 (item 4 in the preceding paragraph).
Section 623 of Division C of P.L. 112–74, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, amended Title 5, United States Code by striking the date specified in Sec. 8909a(d)(3)(A)(v) of September 30, 2011 and inserting August 1, 2012 for the scheduled payment of $5.5 billion to the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefit (RHB) Fund. However, the Postal Service was unable to make any payments on its $11.1 billion in scheduled RHB payments due in 2012, its $5.6 billion payment due in 2013, or its $5.7 billion payment due in 2014.
In its 2014 annual financial report (Form 10-K), the USPS states that, absent changes to its financial forecast from legislative action, it will likely default on a $5.7 billion RHB prefunding payment due September 30, 2015 and a $5.8 billion payment due on September 30, 2016. As such, the Budget includes two baselines to address this. The baseline required under Section 257 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), as amended, reflects the 2015 and 2016 RHB payments being made as required under current law. An adjusted baseline, which appears in the Budget, reflects adjustments to the BBEDCA baseline to account for the more realistic assumption that the USPS will not make its 2015 or 2016 payments, as it has indicated in writing.

The Administration recognizes the enormous value of the United States Postal Service (USPS) to the Nation's commerce and communications, as well as the need for reform to ensure the future viability of USPS. Therefore, the Budget proposes specific authorities to improve USPS efficiency and net revenue, along with financial relief measures, grounded in principles of fiscal responsibility as well as sound financial management. The Administration will work with the Congress and postal stakeholders to secure the necessary reforms.

The Budget proposes to return to USPS the surplus amounts it has paid into its Office of Personnel Management (OPM) account for its share of Federal Employee Retirement System costs, and require that OPM calculate these costs using factors (including investment returns, salary growth rates, and cost of living adjustments granted to Postal retirees) specific to the demographics of the Postal Service workforce. The Budget reflects an estimate of this surplus of $1.5 billion based on OPM's initial review that incorporates these Postal-specific demographic factors, which is proposed to be paid to USPS over a period of two years.

The Budget also proposes to restructure USPS payments to the Retiree Health Benefits (RHB) Fund that are currently specified in the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006. This change would still prudently pre-fund retiree health liabilities, but on an accruing cost basis rather than the amounts fixed through 2016 in current law. This restructuring, which includes codifying USPS's missed payments from 2011–2014 and deferring both of the remaining fixed payments due in 2015 and 2016, combined with a shift to 'normal cost' RHB funding beginning in 2015 rather than 2017 as in current law, would provide USPS with more than $13 billion in financial relief through 2016. See the Office of Personnel Management section of this Appendix for more information on these aspects of the proposal.

In addition, the Budget proposes operational reforms to reduce Postal costs and improve its revenue, including: 1) reducing USPS operating costs by giving USPS authority to reduce mail delivery frequency from six days to five days if mail volume falls below 140 billion pieces for four consecutive quarters (the Budget assumes this will occur near the end of 2018); 2) allowing USPS to leverage its resources by increasing collaboration with State and local governments; 3) allowing the Postal Service to begin shifting to centralized and curbside delivery where appropriate and codify its current administrative plan to avoid small and rural post office closures; 4) enhancing Postal Service governance to allow USPS management and its Board of Governors to more quickly and effectively respond to market opportunities and challenges while retaining strong oversight from the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) and Congress; and 4) permanently extending the Postal Regulatory Commission's December 2013 'exigent' postage rate increase beyond two years.

Together, these reforms would set USPS on a sustainable business path, providing it with over $17 billion in cash relief, operational savings, and revenue through 2016. The Budget proposes PAYGO scoring of Postal legislation on a unified budget basis to better reflect how and when such legislation will affect overall deficits and debt. On a unified basis, the proposed reforms yield an estimate PAYGO savings of almost $36 billion over 11 years.

This account includes unspecified adjustments to Postal operations that reflect the fact that the United States Postal Service (USPS) can only spend at amounts equal to its revenue and borrowing authority. For purposes of the Budget Baseline, the USPS is shown to operate at a break-even (i.e., revenues equal expenses) basis for 2015 and later years. This account is necessary because the USPS estimates of its revenues and expenses are unsustainable—estimated expenses far exceeded estimated revenues . The USPS fully exhausted its borrowing authority with the Department of the Treasury at the close of FY 2013. The Budget includes a legislative proposal that provides specific Postal financial relief and makes sustained reforms. The relief and reforms represent specific action the USPS would take, and would reduce the need for the unspecified adjustments contained in this account.

United States Postal Service (USPS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) is an independent organization charged with reporting to Congress on the overall efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of USPS programs and operations. The OIG meets this responsibility by conducting audits, investigations, and other reviews. The OIG focuses on the prevention, identification, and elimination of 1) waste, fraud, and abuse; 2) violations of laws, rules, and regulations; and 3) inefficiencies in USPS programs and operations.

Pursuant to Public Law 109–435, the 2016 appropriation request of the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Postal Service is $250,729,000.

Section 603(b)(1) of Public Law 109–435 (Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act) authorizes appropriations for the Office of Inspector General out of the off-budget Postal Service Fund beginning in 2009. The authorization resulted in the reclassification of the USPS Office of Inspector General spending from off-budget mandatory to off-budget discretionary.

The Postal Regulatory Commission is an independent agency that has exercised regulatory oversight over the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) since its creation by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970. That oversight consisted primarily of conducting public, on-the-record hearings concerning proposed rates, mail classification, and major service changes, and recommended decisions for action to the Postal Service Board of Governors.

The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA, Public Law 109–435) assigned new responsibilities to the Commission, including providing regulatory oversight of the pricing of USPS products and services, ensuring USPS transparency and accountability, and serving as a forum to act on complaints with postal products and services. The Commission provides leadership and recommends policies that foster a robust and viable postal system.

Pursuant to Public Law 109–435, the 2016 appropriation request of the Postal Regulatory Commission is $15,500,000.

Section 603(a) of PAEA authorizes appropriations for the Commission out of the off-budget Postal Service Fund beginning in 2009. The authorization resulted in the reclassification of the Commission's spending from off-budget mandatory to off-budget discretionary.

The Presidio Trust (Trust) is a wholly-owned Government corporation established by the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–333) to manage, improve, maintain and lease property in the Presidio of San Francisco and to operate the Presidio as a self-sustaining part of the national park system. The Trust has jurisdiction over 80% of the Presidio and has successfully converted the historic Army base into a thriving park community that will operate without annual appropriations beginning in FY 2013. Funds to operate the park and its public programs will come from lease revenues and other non-Federally appropriated funding sources. The Presidio of San Francisco is an historic preservation success, and a success for the American taxpayer.

The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA) created the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB). The IRTPA originally placed the Board within the Executive Office of the President. The Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 reconstituted the Board as an independent oversight agency within the Executive Branch. All five members of the Board are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate for staggered six-year terms. The Board has two main responsibilities: 1) to analyze and review actions the executive branch takes to protect the United States from terrorism, ensuring that the need for such actions is balanced with the need to protect privacy and civil liberties; and 2) to ensure that liberty concerns are appropriately considered in the development and implementation of laws, regulations, and policies related to efforts to protect the Nation against terrorism. The Board is required to report periodically on its operations to the U.S. Congress, as well as inform the public of its activities.

The Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia (PDS) is a federally funded, independent organization governed by an eleven-member Board of Trustees. PDS was created in 1970 by a Federal statute (P.L. 91–358; see also D.C. Code Sec. 2–1601, et seq.) to fulfill the constitutional mandate (under Gideon v. Wainwright) to provide criminal defense counsel for individuals who cannot afford to hire a lawyer. PDS's mission is to provide and promote quality legal representation for indigent adults and children facing a loss of liberty in the District of Columbia justice system and thereby protect society's interest in the fair administration of justice. PDS specializes in representation in the most complex and resource-intensive criminal and delinquency cases. PDS also represents individuals facing involuntary civil commitment in the District's mental health system and individuals facing parole revocation for D.C. Code offenses.

In recognition of the continuing decline in virtually all its major workloads, the Board will explore and adopt new approaches to improve service to beneficiaries.

The President's Budget includes a legislative proposal to amend the Railroad Retirement Act to allow the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) to utilize various hiring authorities available to other Federal agencies. Section 7(b)(9) of the Railroad Retirement Act contains language requiring that all employees of the RRB, except for one assistant for each Board Member, must be hired under the competitive civil service. Elimination of this requirement would enable the RRB to use various hiring authorities offered by the Office of Personnel Management.

The President's Budget includes a legislative proposal to amend the Railroad Retirement Act and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act to include a felony charge for individuals committing fraud against the Agency. Under this proposal, both the Railroad Retirement Act and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act would be amended to include a felony charge similar to violations under 42 U.S.C. 408, 18 U.S.C. 1001, or 18 U.S.C. 287.

The President's Budget also includes $3.3 million to strengthen the integrity of the RRB's programs. These funds will provide the RRB with the flexibility to hire and train staff to support the processing of additional program integrity work. These efforts will save the RRB Trust Fund an estimated $5 for each $1 spent on program integrity activities.

All railroad retirees receive the equivalent of a social security benefit, and they may also receive other add-ons including rail industry pension payments, windfall payments, and supplemental annuities. Social security benefits for former railroad employees are funded by the social security trust funds, and rail industry pension payments are the responsibility of the rail sector.

Under current law, a financial interchange occurs once each year between the social security trust funds and the social security equivalent benefit (SSEB) account. SSEB receives monthly advances from the general fund equal to an estimate of the transfer SSEB would have received for the previous month if the financial interchange transfers were on a monthly basis. Advances from the previous year are repaid annually to the general fund immediately after the financial interchange is received. In 2014, $3,884 million was advanced and $3,937 million was repaid.

The primary mission of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation. The Commission's six major programs include the following:

Enforcement.—The Division of Enforcement investigates and prosecutes civil violations of the Federal securities laws and works closely with the Department of Justice and other law enforcement partners to coordinate and assist in criminal prosecutions.
Compliance Inspections and Examinations.—The Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) conducts the SEC's examination program to detect violations of the Federal securities laws and evaluate internal compliance controls at securities firms registered with the SEC.
Corporation Finance.—The Division of Corporation Finance selectively reviews company disclosures to ensure that investors have the information necessary to make informed investment decisions, and to help deter fraud and misrepresentation in securities transactions.
Trading and Markets.—The Division of Trading and Markets' mission is to establish and maintain standards for fair, orderly and efficient markets, while fostering investor protection and confidence in the markets. The division oversees the activities of industry self-regulatory organizations (SRO) such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and also directly regulates market participants where Commission rulemaking is more effective than self-regulation.
Investment Management.—The Division of Investment Management works to protect investors, promote informed investment decision making, and facilitate appropriate innovation in investment products and services through regulation of the asset management industry.
Economic and Risk Analysis.—The Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA) was created in September 2009 to integrate financial economics and rigorous data analytics into the core mission of the SEC.
Several additional program offices directly support the major programs, including the Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (OIEA), the Office of the Chief Accountant (OCA), and the Office of International Affairs (OIA).
Implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111–203).—The Wall Street Reform Act assigned significant new responsibilities to the SEC that will have a substantial long-term impact on the agency's workload, including oversight of hedge fund advisers and a portion of the over-the-counter derivatives market; registration of municipal advisers and securities-based swaps market participants; enhanced supervision of credit rating agencies and clearing agencies; heightened regulation of asset-backed securities; and administration of a new whistleblower program.
The SEC is funded through offsetting fees collected pursuant to section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78ee). The Budget proposes $1.722 billion of the fee collections to finance SEC operations in 2016. Because the SEC's budget is offset by fees, the agency's funding level has no impact on the Federal deficit.

Section 991 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111–203) (the Act) amended section 4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78d) by adding the Securities and Exchange Commission Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund is a separate fund in the Treasury from which the Commission may obligate amounts determined necessary to carry out Commission functions. Obligations are not to exceed a total of $100,000,000 in any one fiscal year. The Reserve Fund provisions took effect on October 1, 2011.

The Reserve Fund is financed by deposits from registration fees collected by the Commission under section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77f(b)) and section 24(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-24(f)). In any one fiscal year, the amount deposited in the Reserve Fund may not exceed $50,000,000; funds deposited are available until expended. (The remainder of registration fee collections for each fiscal year will be deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury and are not available for obligation by the Commission.)

Funds deposited in the Reserve Fund are not subject to appropriation or apportionment. However, the Commission is required to notify Congress of the amount and purpose of any obligations made utilizing funds from the Reserve Fund within 10 days.

As part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111–203) (the Wall Street Reform Act), Congress substantially expanded the Securities and Exchange Commission's authority to pay whistleblower awards and enhanced the anti-retaliation protections available to whistleblowers. The intent is to elicit high-quality tips by motivating persons with inside knowledge to assist the Federal Government in identifying and prosecuting individuals who violate the Federal securities laws.

As mandated by the Wall Street Reform Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Enforcement has established a Whistleblower Office to administer and enforce the whistleblower program. The Investor Protection Fund provides resources for payments to whistleblowers and for the SEC Office of the Inspector General's Employee Suggestion Program (the Program). The Investor Protection Fund is funded by transferring a portion of monetary sanctions collected by the SEC in judicial or administrative actions brought by the SEC under the securities laws that are not added to disgorgement funds or other funds under section 308 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as amounts in such funds that are determined not to be distributed to injured investors. No sanction collected by the Commission can be transferred to the Fund if the Fund's balance at the time of the transfer exceeds $300 million. The Commission is required to submit an annual report to the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate, on the whistleblower award program.

The figures reported for FY 2015 and FY 2016 are based on assumptions regarding several variables inherent to litigation and to the Commission's whistleblower award process. Given the potential for significant variation in the payouts and their timing, it is possible that actual payouts will be either significantly higher or significantly lower than these estimates.

Note: Because the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) does not report budgetary data to Treasury, amounts shown above were derived from PCAOB's financial data.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–204) established the PCAOB to oversee the audit of public companies that are subject to Federal securities laws. PCAOB was created to protect the interests of investors by regulating the preparation of informative, accurate, and independent audit reports for companies whose securities are sold to and held by and for public investors. Funding for PCAOB comes from registration fees paid by public accounting firms and accounting support fees paid by public companies.

Note: Because the Standard Setting Body does not provide budgetary data to the Treasury, amounts shown above were derived from the financial data made available by the Standard Setting Body (the Financial Accounting Standards Board or FASB).

FASB is an independent private sector organization organized in 1973 within the Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF), which is an independent, private-sector, not-for-profit corporation. The FASB consists of a seven-member board, whose members are appointed by the FAF. The FASB was originally designated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as the authoritative standard setter for the purposes of Federal securities laws in 1973. In April 2003, the SEC reaffirmed the status of the FASB as a designated private-sector standard setting body pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–204), stating that the FASB's financial accounting and reporting standards are recognized as "generally accepted'' for purposes of the Federal securities laws.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act authorizes funding for the standard setting body to be derived from Accounting Support Fees assessed on public companies, although the FAF has, on a voluntary basis, partially offset the fees that could be assessed pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act by payments derived from publication sales and licensing fees. Prior to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the FASB was funded by voluntary contributions from public companies, public accounting firms, and other stakeholders.

Note: Because the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) does not report budgetary data to Treasury, amounts shown above were derived from SIPC's financial data.

SIPC was created by the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (SIPA). Its purpose is to afford certain protections to customers against loss resulting from broker-dealer failure and, thereby, promote investor confidence in the Nation's securities markets. SIPC is a non-profit membership corporation. Its members are, with some exceptions, all persons registered as brokers or dealers under Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all persons who are members of a national securities exchange. SIPC receives funds through assessments on its membership and from interest earned on its investments in U.S. Government securities.

SIPC may borrow up to $2.5 billion from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, through the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the event that the fund maintained by SIPC is insufficient to satisfy the claims of customers of failing brokerage firms. SIPC has not accessed these loans to date and the Budget does not project that SIPC will require use of these loans over the next ten years.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was created in 1933 as a government-owned corporation for the unified development of a river basin comprised of parts of seven states. The agency is currently self-funded, financing its operations almost entirely from revenues and power system financings.

TVA's Non-Power Programs._TVA operates a series of 49 dams and 47 reservoirs to reduce the risk of flooding, enable year-round navigation, supply affordable and reliable electricity, improve water quality and water supply, provide recreational opportunities, stimulate economic growth, and provide a wide range of other public benefits. TVA is responsible for critical stewardship activities within the Tennessee Valley which include: water release regulation; maintenance of dam machinery and spillway gates; modifications on nine main and four auxiliary navigation locks and associated mooring facilities; improvement of water quality and supply; management of shoreline erosion; regulation of shoreline development along the Tennessee River and its tributaries; planning and management of 293,000 acres of public land; and operation of public recreation areas. These services are funded entirely by TVA's power revenues and its user fees.

TVA's Power Program._TVA supplies electric power to an area of 80,000 square miles in parts of the seven Tennessee Valley states. Estimated income from power operations, net of interest charges and depreciation, and other operating expenses is approximately $605 million in 2016 on wholesale revenues of $10.9 billion. Power generating facilities are financed from power revenues and power system financings. TVA's power system financings consist primarily of the sale of debt securities and secondarily of alternative forms of financing such as lease arrangements.

TVA Policy Initiatives._TVA is executing a plan to continue to provide competitive, reliable rates to its customers. TVA is on target to meet its goal to reduce operation and maintenance spending and plans to adjust its capital spending based on market and regulatory conditions. TVA continues to improve operational performance, and all TVA nuclear units are operating under normal Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversight levels. TVA is also undertaking a refresh of the 2011 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) with the new report expected to be published in 2015. Construction of Watts Bar Unit 2 is continuing in accordance with the schedule and budget approved by the TVA Board of Directors in April 2012. The total estimated cost of completion is in the range of $4.0 billion to $4.5 billion. Construction is expected to be completed by December 2015. At its August 21, 2014 meeting, the TVA Board approved the completion of a natural gas-fired facility at the Allen Fossil Plant site. TVA plans to retire the Allen coal-fired units no later than December 31, 2018. On December 30, 2014, the TVA Board also approved adding additional pollution controls at the Shawnee Fossil Plant for Units 1 and 4. During fiscal year 2014, TVA also made its final scheduled payment of $10 million on $1 billion of Congress' original appropriations investment in TVA's power program. TVA recently filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides transparency of its business operations.

Financing._Amounts estimated to become available for TVA programs in 2016 are to be derived from wholesale revenues of $10.9 billion. The outstanding balance of TVA's bonds, notes, and other evidences of indebtedness is limited by statute and cannot exceed $30 billion. TVA's outstanding debt and debt-like obligations were $26.1 billion at the beginning of 2015 and are estimated to increase to $26.9 billion by the end of 2016, primarily from several capacity expansion projects. At the beginning of 2015, TVA had $2.5 billion in debt-like obligations that are not counted against its statutory debt cap.

Operating results and financial conditions._Payments to the Treasury from power proceeds in 2016 are estimated at an $8 million return on the appropriation investment in the power program. Total capital spending for 2016 is budgeted at $2.3 billion, which in addition to new generation capacity includes $245 million for environmental projects and $1.0 billion to maintain TVA's existing generation assets. Total Government equity at September 30, 2016, is estimated to be $597 million more than that at September 30, 2015. This change includes the estimated net income from power operations and payments to the Treasury.

United Mine Workers of America Benefit Funds

Federal Funds

Under current law, the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) at the Department of Interior is obligated to make annual payments to certain States as well as certain health care plans administered by the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA). OSM is also obligated to make additional payments derived from the general fund of the Treasury to those UMWA health care plans. The size of those payments depend on the interest credited to balances in the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund. Under current law, total obligations derived from the general fund for those purposes cannot exceed $490 million a year. The Budget would include a legislative proposal that would pay the 1974 UMWA pension plan the difference between that cap and other OSM obligations to the states and other health care plans. Payments would be made by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation within the Department of Labor. The 1974 plan, which covers more than 100,000 mineworkers, is underfunded and approaching insolvency. Payments would continue until the plan is fully funded on a current liability basis.

The Combined Benefit Fund was established by the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 to take over paying for medical care of retired miners and their dependents who were eligible for health care from the private 1950 and 1974 United Mine Workers of America Benefit Plans. The Fund's trustees represent the United Mine Workers of America and coal companies. The Fund is financed by assessments on current and former signatories to labor agreements with the United Mine Workers; past transfers from the United Mine Workers pension fund; transfers from the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation fund; a Medicare prescription drug demonstration; and the General Fund of the Treasury.

The 1992 Benefit Plan was established by the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992. It pays for health care for those miners who retired between July 21, 1992 and September 30, 1994, and their dependents, who are eligible for benefits under an employer plan and cease to be covered, usually because an employer is out of business. Plan trustees are appointed by the United Mine Workers of America and the Bituminous Coal Operators Association, a coal industry bargaining group. The Plan is supported by signers of the 1988 labor agreement with the United Mine Workers of America; a Medicare prescription drug demonstration; transfers from the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation fund; and the General Fund of the Treasury.

The 1993 Benefit Plan provides health benefits to certain retired mine workers and disabled mine workers who are not eligible for benefits under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 and who are not receiving benefits from employers' benefit plans. The 1993 Benefit Plan was established through collective bargaining under the National Bituminous Coal Wage Agreement of 1993. Plan trustees are appointed by the United Mine Workers of America and the Bituminous Coal Operators Association, a coal industry bargaining group. The Plan is financed by signatories to the National Bituminous Coal Wage Agreement; transfers from the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation fund; a Medicare prescription drug demonstration; and the General Fund of the Treasury.

The Budget includes a legislative proposal that would revise the formula for general fund payments to the Plan by taking into account all beneficiaries enrolled in the Plan as of enactment, as well as those retirees whose health benefits were denied or reduced as the result of a bituminous coal industry bankruptcy proceeding commenced in 2012.

The United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (Court) is a national court of record established by the Veterans Judicial Review Act, Pub. L. No. 100–687, Division A (1988) (Act). The Act, as amended, is codified in part at 38 U.S.C. §§ 7251–7299. The Court is part of the federal judicial system and has a permanent authorization for seven judges, one of whom serves as chief judge. The judges are appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for 15-year terms, except that two have been appointed for 13-year terms pursuant to Pub. L. No. 106–117, Nov. 30, 1999. Two additional, temporary judgeships are authorized pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 7253(i) and all positions are now filled, with nine active judges serving on the Court. The temporary authorization for nine judges directs that no additional judges may be appointed until there are fewer than seven judges serving. Based on potential retirements, this could occur as early as December 2016. Due to the often long lead time in appointing judges, serious consideration to extending or making permanent the authorization for nine judges is warranted. Our five senior judges may also be recalled to provide service throughout the year, as needed. Two other judges are retired due to permanent disability. For management, administration, and expenditure of funds in areas beyond the bounds of Chapter 72 of Title 38, the Court may exercise the authorities provided for such purposes applicable to other courts as defined in Title 28, U.S. Code. The Court has exclusive jurisdiction to review decisions made by the Department of Veterans Affairs Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) that adversely affect a person's entitlement to VA benefits. This judicial review, although specialized in scope, is the same as that performed by all other United States Courts of Appeal. In cases before it, the Court has the authority to decide all relevant questions of law; to interpret constitutional, statutory, and regulatory provisions; and to determine the meaning or applicability of actions/decisions by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The Court may affirm, set aside, reverse, or remand those decisions as appropriate. Additionally, the Court has authority under 28 U.S.C. § 1651 to issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of its jurisdiction, and to act on applications under 28 U.S.C.§ 2412(d), the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA). Certain decisions by the Court are reviewable by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and, if certiorari is granted, by the United States Supreme Court. The Court is located in Washington, D.C., see 38 U.S.C. § 7255 (requiring the principal office of the Court and duty station of each active service judge to be located in the D.C. metropolitan area), but as a national court, the Court may sit anywhere in the United States.

In 1992, Congress authorized the Court to transfer up to $950,000 from its appropriation that year to the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), for the purpose of providing, facilitating, and furnishing legal and other assistance, through grant or contract, to veterans and others seeking recourse in the Court. That program, often referred to as the pro bono representation program, has been ongoing since that time, with LSC responsible for oversight and grant distribution responsibilities. The Appropriations Subcommittees consider that budget request separately from the Court's budget request, although both are submitted together. The 2016 LSC request in the amount of $2,500,000, unchanged from the 2015 request, is attached at Appendix A.

A total of $32,141,000 of which $29,641,000 will be used by the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims for operations as authorized by 38 U.S.C. §§ 7251–7299; and $2,500,000, which shall be transferred to the Legal Services Corporation to facilitate the furnishing of legal and other assistance in accordance with the process and reporting procedures set forth under this heading in Public Law No. 102–229.

The United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims Retirement Fund (Retirement Fund or Fund), established under 38 U.S.C. § 7298, is used for judges' retired pay and for annuities, refunds, and allowances provided to surviving spouses and dependent children. Participating judges pay 1% of their salaries to cover creditable service for retired pay purposes and 2.2% of their salaries for survivor annuity purposes. Additional funds needed to cover the unfunded liability may be transferred to the Retirement Fund from the Court's annual appropriation. The Court's contribution to the Fund is estimated annually by an actuarial firm retained by the Court. The Fund is invested solely in government securities.

The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) is a quasi-federal, independent, nonpartisan institution charged with increasing the nation's capacity to manage international conflict without violence.

USIP exemplifies America's commitment to peace and acts daily to uphold that commitment. The Institute does so by engaging directly in conflict zones, where staff and local partners take significant risks in the ongoing struggle against violence. USIP also provides education, training, analysis and resources to those working for peace.

Headquartered on the National Mall, USIP advances U.S. strategic interests while helping to protect the vulnerable from conflicts that devastate lives and livelihoods. These conflicts undermine legitimate governments that attempt to resolve disputes through laws rather than arms, and violate universal standards of human dignity. All too often, they sustain extremists and their vicious ideologies. Left unaddressed, these conflicts imperil America's economic and physical security. They threaten values America shares with just societies worldwide. For these reasons, Congress included United States Institute of Peace Act in Title XVII of the Defense Authorization Act of 1985, creating an independent institute to "promote international peace and the resolution of conflicts among the nations and peoples of the world without recourse to violence." The Institute is governed by a 15-member Board. By law, Board members include the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the President of the National Defense University along with 12 others appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) is an independent Executive Branch agency whose mission is to coordinate the Federal response to homelessness and to create a national partnership at every level of government and with the private sector to reduce and end homelessness. In collaboration with its 19 member Federal agencies, USICH led the development of Opening Doors: the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, which was released in June 2010. The Plan sets four ambitious goals to end chronic homelessness; end veteran homelessness; end homelessness for families, youth and children; and set a path to ending all types of homelessness. Working with Federal, state and local partners, USICH is leading the implementation of the Plan in Washington, DC and across the country. The Budget proposes $3.53 million for USICH to continue implementing the plan. In addition, the Budget permanently authorizes USICH and increases the salary level for the Executive Director to be consistent with other equivalent positions in the Federal Government.

The Vietnam Education Foundation Act of 2000 (Title II of Public Law 106–554) created the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF) to administer an international fellowship program under which Vietnamese nationals can undertake graduate and post-graduate level studies in the United States in the sciences (natural, physical, and environmental), mathematics, medicine, and technology, and American citizens can teach in these fields in appropriate Vietnamese institutions of higher education. The Act also authorized the establishment of the Vietnam Debt Repayment Fund, in which all payments (including interest payments) made by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam under the United States-Vietnam debt agreement shall be deposited as offsetting receipts. Beginning in 2002, and in each subsequent year through 2018, $5 million of the amounts deposited into the fund from USDA and USAID shall be available to VEF for operations and fellowship programs. Beginning in 2015, and in each subsequent year through 2018, the remaining amounts deposited into the fund from USDA and USAID shall be available to support the establishment of an independent, not-for-profit academic institution in the Social Republic of Vietnam.
