This account funds the Commerce Department's portion of expenses associated with renovating and modernizing the Herbert C. Hoover Building (HCHB). The eight-phase renovation and modernization will upgrade infrastructure, modernize tenant spaces, remove safety hazards, and improve energy efficiency as Commerce optimizes utilization of HCHB space. The General Services Administration (GSA) and Commerce are each responsible for certain aspects of the project's costs. Project funding for both GSA and Commerce should occur simultaneously so that design, installation, furnishing, and office relocations can be coordinated.

As the only Federal government agency with a mission and programs focused exclusively on economic development, the Economic Development Administration (EDA) plays a critical role in communities across the nation. Through the agency's diverse and flexible programs, EDA provides a broad portfolio of activities include pre-application assistance and development, application processing, and project monitoring, as well as general support functions such as economic development research, technical assistance, information dissemination, legal and environmental compliance, financial management, budgeting, and debt management. The Budget increases support for EDA's salaries and expenses to bolster the agency's efforts in helping local communities and regions maximize the use of available federal economic development resources in creating and implementing comprehensive strategies for the growth and competitiveness of businesses in their region. EDA's Salaries and Expense budget request builds on the lessons learned from successful multi-agency initiatives and focuses on greater integration of economic development programming across the Department of Commerce and other federal agency programs. The bureau is already evolving into the government's premiere resource for communities engaged in regional planning. These additional resources are resulting in stronger plans, faster project implementation, better leveraging of all regional economic assistance, and ultimately more competitive regions with more jobs and economic growth.

The administration and oversight of the EDA's programs are carried out utilizing a network of headquarters and regional personnel who work with local organizations and leaders to identify and invest in projects that demonstrate potential for the greatest economic impact in distressed communities.

Reimbursable program.—EDA provides grant review and processing services to other Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis. Funds received cover the cost of performing this work.

The Economic Development Assistance Programs (EDAP).—Economic Development Administration's (EDA) investments are focused in nine broad development assistance programs, which include: Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA), Partnership Planning, Technical Assistance, Public Works, Regional Innovation Strategies Program (RISP), Research and Evaluation, Assistance to Coal Communities, Trade Adjustment Assistance, and loan guarantees for Innovative Technologies in Manufacturing. The EDA provides grants within each of these areas to generate or retain jobs, attract new industry and private sector investment, encourage business expansion, and serve as a backstop to sudden and severe economic impacts. These investments assist communities characterized by substantial and persistent unemployment levels, low income and population growth, loss of jobs, out-migration, and long-term economic deterioration. The EDA works in partnership with other Federal agencies, State and local governments, regional economic development districts, public and private non-profit organizations, Native American Tribes, and Alaska Native Villages to accomplish its mission.

The EDA's FY 2017 budget reflects its priority of empowering regions to develop their own plans that will transform their communities into globally competitive regions and ultimately improve the quality of life for their residents.

To aid in this mission, EDA is continuing a process to develop and implement a consistent measurement scheme across integrated federal economic development programs. EDA will continue to develop important economic development decision making tools that support a wide range of Administration priorities,. The additional metrics will enable economic development practitioners, policy makers and funders to understand the impacts of existing programs and to better determine how limited resources should be used to build U.S. regional capacity to permit lasting economic development and prosperity.

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

Current Economic Statistics.—These programs provide public and private sector data users with relevant, accurate, and timely national statistical profiles of every sector of the U.S. economy to enable businesses and governments to make informed decisions. The FY 2017 budget contains funding to modernize data collection and improve the accuracy of key economic statistics, while at the same time reduces response burden to the businesses that provide us with these key data, by harnessing the potential of "Big Data" to supplement traditional data collection, create new products, and expand existing products. The budget also includes funding to accelerate and improve the quality of economic indicators, increasing the accuracy and timeliness of a substantial number of key economic indicators, thereby cumulatively leading to a more precise measure of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Current Demographic Statistics.—These programs conduct surveys and data analyses to provide social and economic information on monthly, quarterly, and annual bases that policymakers and others need in order to make effective policy and program decisions.

Survey of Program Dynamics (SPD).— The program is supported by a transfer of funding from the Contingency Fund for State Welfare Programs established under Section 403(b) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 603 (b)). The SPD program provides relevant, accurate, timely, and cost-effective socio-economic data and information, which can be used by federal and state public policymakers to evaluate the effects of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 that established the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program.

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

This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic economic and demographic censuses and other authorized activities. Major programs include the periodic economic programs (including the five-year economic census and census of governments), the American Community Survey (ACS) and the decennial census. In addition, other programs provide bureau-wide geographic and data processing systems and support.

Periodic Economic Programs.—The Periodic Economic Programs include the Economic Census and the Census of Governments. These programs are integral to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimates of gross domestic product (GDP), industry inputs and outputs, and the economic activities of more than 90,000 state and local governments. Together, these programs measure the structure and functioning of nearly the entire U.S. economy. Program activities in FY 2017 include transforming to 100 percent internet data collection for the 2017 Economic Census. This will reduce respondent burden, automate operations, and improve data products.

Decennial Census.—FY 2017 is the third year of a four-year phase (FY2015—FY2018) focused on operational design, development, and system testing for the 2020 Census. Work in FY 2017 focuses on field testing and perfecting and scaling the full suite of integrated operations and systems for the decennial census, most notably via the 2017 Census Test, which will ensure optimal system interoperability and intercommunications. The Census Bureau must finalize methodologies and fully integrate new technology in preparation for an end-to-end test in 2018, the critical safeguard this decade against late-decade design changes or cost overruns. The Census Bureau will continue planning and development to make final methodological decisions for the key cost-saving innovation areas: administrative records, reengineered field operations, optimizing self-response, and address canvassing. Together, the innovations in these four areas have the potential to reduce costs by up to $5.2 billion compared to repeating 2010 Census methods. Failing to make, test, and implement any final decisions leading into the 2018 Test will jeopardize the ability to realize these cost savings in full and add to operational risk in the final three years of the decade. Additionally, Census is requesting funds to expand several coverage and accuracy operations that aim to ensure the most accurate count possible for the hardest-to-count minority, rural, and mobile populations.

Decennial Census Cap Adjustment Proposal.— The Census Bureau is committed to working with the Congress toward a 2020 Census that delivers on the core mission to count everyone in the U.S. once, and only once, and keeps costs at or below the per-household cost of the 2010 decennial census, adjusted for inflation. To meet those goals, the Budget proposes to amend the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act to allow an adjustment to the discretionary spending limits starting in FY 2018 for the cyclical increase in decennial census operations. This adjustment would provide the Census Bureau the funding certainty to confidently invest in cost saving technology that will lower the life cycle cost of the 2020 Census and future decennial censuses. Further justification can be found in the Census Bureau Congressional Budget Justification and the Budget Process chapter of the 2017 Analytical Perspectives volume.

The funding for the ACS is part of the 2020 Decennial Program. The FY 2017 request includes funding to strengthen production activities and reduce program risk while continuing efforts to reduce respondent burden and address stakeholder concerns.

Geographic Support.—The goal of the geographic support program is to provide address lists, address and geographic reference files, delineated geographic reference files, delineated geographic areas, maps, and associated processing systems needed to meet the geographic requirements of all Census Bureau programs. In FY 2017, the request supports address lists and maps to gather a definitive set of updates prior to the 2020 Census. This includes commercial data and administrative records. It also supports increased processing and analysis of address files received from Federal, state, local and tribal government partners.

Enterprise Data Collection & Dissemination Systems.—The objective of the program is to support major data collection, processing and dissemination systems for the Census Bureau's censuses and surveys. The FY 2017 budget request supports the third year of an initiative to support a Census Enterprise Data Collection and Processing (CEDCaP) initiative. The CEDCaP initiative provides a foundation for 2020 data collection and processing operations, and encourages savings and efficiencies through integrated, enterprise-wide data collection systems. CEDCaP will consolidate costs by retiring unique, survey-specific systems and redundant capabilities and bring a much greater portion of the Census Bureau's total IT expenditures under a single, integrated and centrally-managed program. It will also allow the Census Bureau to halt the creation of program-specific systems and put in place a solution that will be mature and proven for the 2020 Census. In FY 2017, CEDCaP will deliver into production several capabilities, including enhanced automatic case assignment, real-time field activity monitoring, an electronic correspondence portal to help respondents, and completely refreshed internet and mobile data collection that will support one or both of the 2017 Economic Census and the 2017 Census Test.

Administrative Records Clearinghouse.—The FY 2017 budget also includes an initiative for Administrative Records Clearinghouse that will provide the federal government with increased capacity to make data-driven decisions about critical programs and provide transparency about program effectiveness to the public by developing a more comprehensive infrastructure for linking, sharing, and analyzing key Federal- and State-held administrative datasets.

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).—The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), a principal Federal statistical agency, promotes a better understanding of the U.S. economy by providing timely, relevant, and accurate economic data in an objective and cost-effective manner. BEA's national, industry, regional, and international economic statistics present crucial information on key issues such as U.S. economic growth, regional economic development, inter-industry relationships, and the Nation's position in the world economy. These key statistics provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy and affect decisions related to interest and exchange rates, tax and budget projections, and business investment plans. The statistics are used by Federal, State, and local governments for budget development and projections and to allocate over $300 billion in Federal funds. The statistics are also used by the American public to follow and understand the performance of the Nation's economy. Some of the Bureau's widely used statistical measures include gross domestic product (GDP), personal income and outlays, corporate profits, GDP by state and by metropolitan area, balance of payments, and GDP by industry. BEA's strategic vision is to remain the world's most respected producer of economic accounts. The 2017 Budget proposes a Regional Economic Dashboard that would create a county level GDP measure to provide insight into the differences in regional economic experiences by allowing data users the ability to narrow the detail to the county level, allowing for targeted investments in areas of need, particularly at the local area level by providing more localized data than the current suite of regional GDP and income statistics. The 2017 Budget also proposes an initiative that would Accelerate and Improve the Quality of Economic Indicators that would expand coverage to better measure key sectors of the economy and accelerate the incorporation of data into GDP estimates, thereby reducing revisions while expanding the trade reports and improving data value by seasonally adjusting more industries and improve a panel survey with modern statistical practices.

Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) Policy support.—ESA headquarters conducts economic research and policy analysis in direct support of the Secretary of Commerce. ESA also provides management oversight of the Census Bureau and BEA. In addition, ESA provides economic and statistical data and analyses to other Federal agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such information through reimbursable funding. The Census Bureau and BEA reimburse ESA headquarters for certain administrative, financial, and policy services.

The mission of the International Trade Administration (ITA) is to create prosperity by strengthening the international competitiveness of U.S. industry, promoting trade and investment, and ensuring fair trade and compliance with trade laws and agreements. ITA leads the Department's export and investment platform, working with several other bureaus both within and outside the Department to achieve this goal.

ITA, through its programs, services, and workforce, leverages its relationships with and understanding of industry and its domestic and overseas field presence to serve a range of customers and stakeholders. The organization consists of three business units that work together to achieve ITA's mission effectively and efficiently: (1) Industry and Analysis; (2) Enforcement and Compliance; and (3) Global Markets. The combination of industry sector, regional, and trade expertise, alongside export promotion, enforcement and compliance, and policy responsibilities, enables ITA to analyze customer issues and needs holistically, and support export promotion and trade enforcement efforts in key, growing markets abroad. This Budget provides $20 million to expand SelectUSA, which promotes the United States as a premier investment destination and helps state and local governments attract investment capital to create and support jobs.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) advances U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic objectives by administering and enforcing controls on the export of sensitive goods and technologies. BIS also enforces antiboycott laws, monitors the economic viability of the U.S. defense industry, and assists U.S. companies in complying with certain international arms agreements. The 2017 Budget continues to provide for positions that are critical to the Administration's Export Control Reform (ECR) Initiative, which fundamentally reforms the U.S. export control system. The ECR Initiative is designed to enhance U.S. national security and strengthen the United States' ability to counter threats such as the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

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

NOAA executes programs and activities to achieve its mission through six line offices:

National Ocean Service (NOS).—NOS programs work to promote safe navigation; assess and restore the health of coastal and marine resources; improve coastal communities' resilience to extreme weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions and uses; and conserve the coastal and ocean environment.

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).—NMFS programs provide for the management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources including fish stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species and their habitats within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). As part of the Administration's Infrastructure Permitting initiative, NMFS is targeting resources to expedite and improve Endangered Species Act consultations and other related processes.

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).—OAR programs provide climate, weather, air chemistry, ocean and coastal research and technology with applications across NOAA's mission. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and cooperative institutes and partnership programs. High priority programs in FY 2017 include a Research Transition Acceleration Program, which will help OAR expedite promising research results to operations, applications, and commercialization.

National Weather Service (NWS).—NWS programs provide timely and accurate meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the population, minimize property losses, and improve the economic productivity of the Nation.

National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS).—NESDIS operates polar orbiting and geostationary satellites, and collects and archives global environmental data and information for distribution to private and public sector users.

Mission Support.—Mission Support provides management and administrative support for NOAA, including acquisition and grant administration, budget, accounting functions, and human resources.

Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO).— OMAO provides aircraft and marine data acquisition, fleet repair and maintenance, and operations that provide technical and management support for NOAA-wide activities.

The FY 2017 Budget funds NOAA's programs and activities within the Operations, Research, and Facilities account at approximately $3.5 billion.

This account funds capital acquisition, construction, and fleet and aircraft replacement projects that support NOAA's operational mission across all line offices. The 2017 Budget maintains continuity of major systems needed for weather forecasting. The Budget continues the investment in the Polar Follow On (PFO) satellite program to ensure system robustness and continuity of polar observations critical to numerical weather prediction models. The Budget also supports service life extension for key surface weather observing systems, Next Generation Weather Radar and Automated Service Observation System. Beyond weather investments, this Budget supports broader environmental modeling efforts through upgrades to supercomputing capacity, at sea research and survey capabilities through the construction of a regional survey vessel, and corrects facilities deficiencies to maintain critical research on marine species and the impact of ecosystem stressors. The FY 2017 Budget funds NOAA's programs and activities within the PAC Account at approximately $2.3 billion.

Under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Act Section 304(d)(2)(A), NMFS must collect a fee to recover the incremental costs of management, data collection, and enforcement of Limited Access Privilege (LAP) Programs. Funds collected under this authority are deposited into the Limited Access System Administrative Fund. Fees shall not exceed three percent of the ex-vessel value of fish harvested under any such program, and shall be collected at either the time of the landing, filing of a landing report, or sale of such fish during a fishing season or in the last quarter of the calendar year in which the fish is harvested. The Limited Access Administration Fund shall be available, without appropriation or fiscal year limitation, only for the purposes of administering the central registry system and administering and implementing the Magnuson-Stevens Act in the fishery in which the fees were collected. Sums in the fund that are not currently needed for these purposes shall be kept on deposit or invested in obligations of, or guaranteed by the U.S. Also, in establishing a LAP program, a Regional Council can consider, and may provide, if appropriate, an auction system or other program to collect royalties for the initial or any subsequent distribution of allocations. If an auction system is developed, revenues from these royalties are deposited in the Limited Access System Administration Fund.

The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund account was established in 2000 to augment State, tribal, and local programs to conserve and restore sustainable Pacific salmon populations and their habitats. Through 2015, over $1.2 billion has been provided to the States of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Idaho and to the Pacific Coastal and Columbia River Tribes to supplement State and Federal programs and promote the development of partnerships among Federal, State, tribal, and local governments to conserve salmon. The States and Tribes have used these funds for restoring salmon and steelhead populations that are listed as threatened or endangered, or identified by a State as at risk of such listing; maintaining populations necessary for exercise of tribal treaty fishing rights or native subsistence fishing; or restoring and conserving Pacific coastal salmon and steelhead habitat.

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

Section 311(e)(1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to pay certain enforcement-related expenses from fines, penalties and forfeiture proceeds received for violations of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, or of any other marine resource law enforced by the Secretary. Pursuant to this authority, NOAA established an account for these receipts, the Fisheries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund (AFF). Certain fines, penalties and forfeiture proceeds received by NOAA are deposited into this Fund and subsequently used to pay for certain enforcement-related expenses. When Congress authorized the AFF it was deemed appropriate to use these proceeds to offset in part the costs of administering the enforcement program. Expenses include the following: costs directly related to the storage, maintenance, and care of seized fish, vessels, or other property during a civil or criminal proceeding; reimbursement to other Federal or State agencies for enforcement related services provided pursuant to an agreement entered into with the Secretary; and other limited uses as outlined in NOAA's Asset Forfeiture Fund policy. The NMFS Office of Management and Budget manages the AFF, which is used by the Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) and NOAA General Counsel for Enforcement and Litigation to pay for enforcement activities.

An amount equal to 30 percent of the gross receipts from customs duties on imported fishery products is transferred to the Department of Commerce annually from the Department of Agriculture. A portion of the funds is transferred to offset the appropriation requirements for fisheries research and management in the Operations, Research, and Facilities account. Any remaining funds support the Saltonstall-Kennedy grants program for fisheries research and development projects to enhance the productivity and improve the sustainable yield of domestic marine fisheries resources.

For carrying out the provisions of title IV of Public Law 95–372, not to exceed $350,000, to be derived from receipts collected pursuant to that Act, to remain available until expended. (Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2016.)

The Fishermen's Contingency Fund is authorized under Section 402 of Title IV of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act Amendments of 1978. NOAA compensates U.S. commercial fishermen for damage or loss of fishing gear, vessels, and resulting economic loss caused by obstructions related to oil and gas exploration, development, and production in any area of the Outer Continental Shelf. The funds used to provide this compensation are derived from fees collected by the Secretary of the Interior from the holders of leases, exploration permits, easements, or rights-of-way in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. This activity is funded entirely through user fees. Disbursements can be made only to the extent authorized in appropriation acts.

For necessary expenses associated with improving the environmental and economic resilience of fisheries declared a fishery disaster by the Secretary of Commerce, $9,000,000, to remain available until expended.

In 2013 the North Pacific Observer Fund was established to support the restructured North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program (NPGOP). The observer program places all vessels and processors in the groundfish and halibut fisheries off Alaska into one of two observer coverage categories: (1) a full coverage category, and (2) a partial coverage category. Vessels and processors in the full coverage category (100% observer coverage) will obtain observers by contracting directly with observer providers. Vessels and processors in the partial coverage category (less than 100% observer coverage) will no longer contract independently with an observer provider, and will be required to carry an observer when they are selected through the Observer Declare and Deploy System (ODDS). Additionally, landings from all vessels in the partial coverage category will be assessed a 1.25 percent fee on standard ex-vessel prices of the landed catch weight of groundfish and halibut to be deposited in the North Pacific Observer Fund. The fee percentage is set in regulation and will be reviewed periodically by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. The money generated by this fee will be used to pay for observer coverage on the vessels and processors in the partial coverage category in the following year.

The Damage Assessment and Restoration Revolving Fund is authorized under Section 1012(a) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, for the deposit of sums provided by any party or governmental entity to respond to the environmental effects of discharges of oil and other hazardous substances. Through the Revolving Fund, NOAA retains funds that are recovered through settlement or awarded by a court for the assessment and restoration of injured natural resources. NOAA also ensures deposited funds shall remain available to the trustee, without further appropriation, until expended to pay costs associated with the response, damage assessment, and restoration of natural resources.

These program functions are conducted jointly within NOAA by the Office of General Counsel, the National Ocean Service, and the National Marine Fisheries Service.

The Fisheries Finance Program (FFP) is a national loan program that makes long-term fixed-rate financing available to U.S. citizens who otherwise qualify for financing or refinancing of the construction, reconstruction, reconditioning, and, in some cases, the purchasing of fishing vessels, shoreside processing, aquaculture, and mariculture facilities. The FFP also provides fishery-wide financing to ease the transition to sustainable fisheries through its fishing capacity reduction programs and provides financial assistance in the form of loans to fishermen who fish from small vessels and entry-level fishermen to promote stability and reduce consolidation in already rationalized fisheries. Additionally, FFP can provide loans for fisheries investments of Native American Community Development Quota groups.

The FFP operates under the authority of Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended; Section 303(a) of the Sustainable Fisheries Act amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Act; and, from time to time FFP-specific legislation. The overriding guideline for all FFP financings is that they cannot contribute or be construed to contribute to an increase in existing fishing capacity.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues patents and registers trademarks, which provide protection to inventors and businesses for their inventions and corporate and product identifications. USPTO also advises other U.S. Government agencies on intellectual property issues and promotes stronger intellectual property protections in other countries. USPTO is funded through fees that are paid to obtain and renew patents and trademarks.

Patent program.—Requested funding for 2017 will be used for examining patent applications and granting patents. USPTO will continue its aggressive patent pendency reduction agenda to reduce overall pendency and backlog; continue to enhance patent quality; ensure optimal information technology service delivery to all users; improve appeal and post-grant processes; and improve intellectual property protections worldwide. The Budget supports USPTO's administrative efforts to address abusive patent litigation practices and repeats the President's call for Congress to enact legislation that promotes greater transparency in the U.S. patent system and prevents frivolous lawsuits that stifle innovation.

Trademark program.—The 2017 Budget provides resources for examining trademark applications; registering trademarks; maintaining high trademark quality; ensuring optimal information technology service delivery to all users; and improving trademark practices worldwide.

The mission of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. The NIST laboratory programs work at the frontiers of measurement science to ensure that the U.S. system of measurements is firmly grounded on sound scientific and technical principles. Today, the NIST laboratories address increasingly complex measurement challenges, ranging from the very small (nanoscale devices) to the very large (vehicles and buildings), and from the physical (renewable energy sources) to the virtual (cybersecurity and cloud computing).

The NIST laboratory programs provide industry, academia, and other federal agencies with scientific underpinnings for basic and derived measurement units, international standards, measurement and calibration services, and certified reference materials. NIST laboratory programs also provide expertise in basic and applied research to enable development of test methods and verified data, support the development of consensus-based standards and specifications, and provide user facilities that support innovation in materials science, nanotechnology discovery and fabrication, and other emerging technology areas through the NIST Center for Neutron Research and the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology. Administration initiative areas in FY 2017 within STRS include research and development investments in measurement science for future computing technologies and applications, ensuring a world class neutron research facility, advanced communications, advanced sensing for manufacturing, bio-manufacturing, and the Lab-to-Markets initiative.

The President's Budget request is $189 million for the Industrial Technology Services (ITS) appropriation, which consists of two programs, the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) and the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) Program.

Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP).—MEP is a Federal-State-industry partnership that provides U.S. manufacturers with access to technologies, resources, and industry experts. The program consists of 58 MEP Centers that work directly with their local manufacturing communities to strengthen the competitiveness of our Nation's domestic manufacturing base. MEP supports the mission of NIST and the Department of Commerce to promote U.S. innovation and competitiveness and enable economic growth for American industries, workers, and consumers. Services provided by MEP are grounded in technology-related activities, sustainability, efficiencies through continuous improvement, and new product development and market diversification. In FY 2013, MEP began a broad based strategic planning process and developed an operational reform agenda intended to optimize program effectiveness, enhance administrative efficiency, and provide greater financial accountability. In FY 2014, MEP initiated a reform of the national system of MEP centers through a systematic, multi-year series of full and open competitions. MEP has completed the first two rounds of center competitions in 20 states which have thus far resulted in centers focusing more on assisting very small, rural, and start-up manufacturing companies, in addition to putting an emphasis on cash rather than in-kind match to the federal dollar investment from state and local partners. These re-competition efforts are ongoing and will continue in FY 2017. In support of these priority investment areas the Administration urges Congress to consider the potential benefits of adjusting the cost share requirement from the current 2:1 ratio of non-federal to federal funds, which will provide the program with greater flexibility to develop innovative tools and assist small to mid-sized enterprises in workforce development, technology acceleration, manufacturing scale up, and domestic supply chain optimization.

National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) Program.—The request provides funds for Federal investment in the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) Program, which serves to create an effective manufacturing research infrastructure for U.S. industry and academia to solve industry-relevant problems. The NNMI consists of linked Institutes for Manufacturing Innovation with common goals, but unique concentrations. In an Institute, industry, academia, and government partners leverage existing resources, collaborate, and co-invest to nurture manufacturing innovation and accelerate commercialization. As sustainable manufacturing innovation hubs, the Institutes will create, showcase, and deploy new capabilities, new products, and new processes that can impact commercial production. These institutes will help to build workforce skills and enhance manufacturing capabilities in companies large and small. Institutes will draw together the best talents and capabilities from all the partners to build the proving grounds where innovations flourish and to help advance American domestic manufacturing. The request includes $47 million for the program, for Institute creation and support, and for efficient coordination among all Institutes stood up by the Department of Commerce and other agencies.

As part of its efforts to revitalize U.S. manufacturing, the Administration is proposing mandatory funding to complete the buildout of a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI), consisting of 45 institutes where researchers, companies, and entrepreneurs can come together to develop new manufacturing technologies with broad applications. Each institute will have a unique technology focus. These institutes will help support an ecosystem of manufacturing activity in local areas. The Manufacturing Innovation Institutes will support manufacturing technology commercialization by allowing new manufacturing processes and technologies to progress more smoothly from basic research to implementation in manufacturing.

The NNMI Federal investment is designed to catalyze industry and non-federal co-investment in advanced manufacturing. Each institute is expected to have a plan to become self-sustaining and fully independent of NNMI Federal funds five to seven years after launch. The $1.9 billion mandatory funding proposal will support 27 institutes, building on 13 institutes already funded through 2016 and the Budget's support of five new manufacturing institutes in the Departments of Commerce, Defense, and Energy.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is the principal Executive Branch adviser on domestic and international telecommunications and Internet policy. NTIA also manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and performs extensive research in telecommunication sciences. During FY 2017, NTIA will continue to evaluate options for repurposing spectrum for broadband use, in support of the President's goal of making 500 MHz of spectrum available for wireless broadband use by 2020. In support of this effort and NTIA's core mission, the 2017 Budget: (1) continues to provide spectrum assignment and analysis support to Federal agencies; (2) completes the administration of the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), a series of broadband grants awarded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and ensures appropriate close-out and recovery of unused funds; and (3) supports NTIA's new responsibilities under the Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2015 to help identify additional federal spectrum to be shared or reallocated for commercial use. Additionally, NTIA will continue to leverage the expertise and lessons gained from administering the BTOP grant program by ramping up BroadbandUSA, which encourages partnerships among state, municipal, non-profit, and private- sector organizations and supports deployment of new community broadband systems through online and in-person technical assistance, regional workshops, and guides and tools providing proven solutions to problems in broadband planning, financing, construction, and operations.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 provided $135 million in borrowing authority for grants to States and localities to plan for the build-out of a nationwide broadband network for first responders. Proceeds from spectrum auctions through the Public Safety Trust Fund reimbursed these costs in FY 2015. Activity in FY 2016 and beyond is for the administration of grants previously awarded.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 created the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) to manage the construction, deployment, and operations of a nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network for use by first responders. FirstNet is an independent entity within the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration and is overseen by a 15-member Board comprised of representatives from the first responder community, Federal agencies, and the private sector. The Act also created the Network Construction Fund, which receives transfers from the Public Safety Trust Fund in support of the construction and deployment of the nationwide broadband network, as well as to provide funding to states who may choose to opt out of FirstNet's proposed buildout plan for that state. The spending authority presented in the Budget comprises the full amount of authorized funding for the Network Construction Fund and FirstNet, which are derived from proceeds of spectrum auctions, including the AWS-3 auction. The FY 2016 obligation and outlay activity reflect Board-approved budget decisions made through August 2015, which the Board may subsequently revise. As of February 2016, the FirstNet Board had not approved FY 2017 obligation and outlay levels, so those amounts reflect preliminary projections. The estimates will be updated upon approval of requirements and associated funding amounts by the FirstNet Board. This account also funds NTIA administrative costs related to grant-making activity for the opt-out program under the Act. In FY 2015 FirstNet accounted for $74 million in obligations and $40 million in outlays from the Fund, while NTIA accounted for $1 million in obligations and $0.1 million in outlays.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (the Act) authorized the repurposing of spectrum from private license holders and Federal agencies to flexible use through specified auctions. A portion of the proceeds from these auctions net of certain costs have been deposited in the Public Safety Trust Fund. The Act directs that up to $7 billion of these proceeds be used to support the establishment of a nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network for use by first responders and further authorizes additional transfers for planning and research activities related to emergency communications. The Act created the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to manage the building, deployment, and operations of a nationwide network and allowed NTIA to borrow $2 billion prior to the auctions authorized by the Act to support the establishment of the network.

NTIA borrowed $2 billion in FY 2014 as authorized by the Act. Also in FY 2014, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) transferred $1.2 billion in auction proceeds from the H block auction to the Public Safety Trust Fund. This amount funded partial repayment to Treasury for the borrowings made by NTIA for FirstNet start-up costs and NTIA oversight.

The Public Safety Trust Fund received $18.6 billion from the FCC in FY 2015 as a result of the Advanced Wireless Services 3 (AWS-3) auction, as directed by the Act. This transfer provided for repayment of still outstanding NTIA borrowing, fully funded FirstNet, and provided a down payment for public safety communications research at the National Institute for Standards and Technology. In addition, a portion of the transfer was sent to Treasury's General Fund for deficit reduction.

The amounts presented in the budget schedules for this account for FY 2017 reflect projections of obligations and outlays for NTIA oversight and FirstNet administrative costs. Programmatic work for FirstNet network construction and grants to States authorized by Section 6302 of the Act are presented in the Network Construction Fund and the State and Local Implementation Fund.

As of February 2016, the FirstNet Board had not determined final obligation and outlay estimates for FY 2017. Estimates will be updated upon approval of requirements by the FirstNet Board. This account also funds NTIA oversight of FirstNet and related responsibilities under the Act. In FY 2015, FirstNet accounted for $9 million in obligations and $23 million in outlays from the Fund, while NTIA accounted for $3 million in obligations and $3 million in outlays.
