The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) was established by section 502 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973. The Access Board is responsible for developing guidelines under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Architectural
Barriers Act, and the Telecommunications Act. These guidelines ensure that buildings and facilities, transportation vehicles,
and telecommunications equipment covered by these laws are readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. The
Board is also responsible for developing standards under section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act for accessible electronic and
information technology used by Federal agencies and standards under section 510 of the Rehabilitation Act for accessible medical
diagnostic equipment. In addition, the Access Board enforces the Architectural Barriers Act, and provides training and technical
assistance on the guidelines and standards it develops.
The Board also has additional responsibilities under the Help America Vote Act. The Board serves on the Board of Advisors
and the Technical Guidelines Development Committee, which helps the Election Assistance Commission develop voluntary guidelines
and guidance for voting systems, including accessibility for people with disabilities.

The Budget proposes to eliminate funding for several independent agencies, including the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC).
The Budget requests $26.7 million to conduct an orderly closeout of the agency in fiscal year 2018, which includes sufficient
funding for personnel costs during shutdown activities and for severance or retirement pay, including pension costs for non-Federal
staff, and for non-personnel costs associated with the agency's closure such as lease termination, equipment disposal, and
compliance with recordkeeping requirements. The Budget also proposes statutory authority to transfer outstanding grant obligations
and associated administrative and oversight responsibilities to the Department of Agriculture.

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. 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. 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 amounts are maintained and displayed in a separate account titled "Consumer
Financial Civil Penalty Fund."

The Budget proposes legislation to restructure CFPB. Restructuring is required to ensure appropriate congressional oversight
and to refocus CFPB's efforts on enforcing the law. The Budget proposes to limit CFPB's funding in 2018 to allow for an efficient
transition period and bring a newly streamlined agency into the regular appropriations process beginning in 2019.

The Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, as authorized by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, became operational
in 1998. It is an independent, non-regulatory agency that promotes chemical safety and accident prevention through investigating
chemical accidents; making recommendations for accident prevention; conducting special studies; broadly disseminating its
findings to industry and labor organizations; and informing stakeholder discussions on chemical safety and on actions taken
by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Labor, and other entities to implement Board recommendations. The
President's Budget proposes to eliminate funding for several independent agencies, including the Chemical Safety and Hazard
Investigation Board, as part of the Administration's plans to move the Nation towards fiscal responsibility and to redefine
the proper role of the Federal Government. The amount requested will fund an orderly closeout of the agency beginning in fiscal
year 2018. As authorized by law, the Board will submit a concurrent request for 2018 to the Congress and OMB.

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, hereafter
"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 Commission 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 Commission then places such products
and service requirements on the AbilityOne Procurement List, requiring Federal departments and agencies to procure the designated
products and services from a network of 565 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 2016, over 46,000 AbilityOne employees earned
a combined total of more than $615 million in wages, with an average hourly wage of $13.01. The AbilityOne Program continues
to emphasize providing employment to veterans, with approximately 3,000 employed in direct or indirect labor positions, including
supervision and management. More than 2,000 AbilityOne employees moved into competitive or supported employment in 2016 after
gaining skills and experience on AbilityOne jobs.
While pursuing its core mission to increase employment opportunities for people who are blind or have other significant disabilities,
the Commission is dedicated to effective stewardship and program integrity. The Commission continues to strengthen its Procurement
List business processes and to enhance its oversight of AbilityOne Program participants. The resources proposed for 2018 will
enable the Commission to continue implementing the requirements of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016. These requirements
include establishing and staffing an Office of Inspector General for the AbilityOne Program. The requirements also include
establishing and administering written agreements that govern the Commission's relationship with its designated central nonprofit
agencies, evaluating reports and data from such central nonprofit agencies, and maintaining the Commission's compliance and
operations capacity to oversee a national program with $3.3 billion in annual sales of products and services to the Government.

The mission of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) is to foster open, transparent, competitive,
and financially sound markets to avoid systemic risk; and to protect market users and their funds, consumers, and the public
from fraud, manipulation, and abusive practices related to derivatives and other products that are subject to the Commodity
Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1, et seq.) (the Act). The Act established a comprehensive regulatory structure to oversee the futures
trading complex, commodity options trading, and leverage trading in gold and silver bullion and coins.
The Commisson's mandate has been renewed and expanded several times. In carrying out its mission and to promote market integrity,
the Commission polices the derivatives markets for various abuses and works to ensure the protection of customer funds. Further,
the agency seeks to lower the risk of the futures and swaps markets to the economy and the public.
The markets under the CFTC's regulatory purview are economically significant. In the United States, the CFTC regulates the
markets for futures and options on futures with an estimated notional value of $16 trillion and the swaps market with an estimated
notional value of $214 trillion.

Section 748 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111–203) (the Dodd-Frank Act) amended the
Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1, et seq.) (CEA) to establish the Customer Protection Fund (Fund). The Dodd-Frank Act also
authorized the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) to issue rules implementing incentives and protections for
whistleblowers and to conduct customer education initiatives designed to help customers protect themselves against violations
of the CEA, such as fraud.
The Commission deposits monetary sanctions it collects in covered judicial or administrative actions into this revolving fund.
The Commission may deposit such sanctions unless the balance in the Fund at the time the sanction is collected exceeds $100
million. The Commission does not deposit restitution awarded to victims into the Fund.
The Fund is used to pay whistleblower awards and finance customer education initiatives. The Commission is required to submit
an annual report on the whistleblower award program and customer education initiatives to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition,
and Forestry of the Senate and the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives. The report includes a description
of the number of whistleblower awards granted and the types of cases in which these awards were granted during the preceding
year.

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. In FY 2018, CPSC will focus
on the highest priority risks to consumers, conduct public education and industry outreach by directly engaging stakeholders,
continue to emphasize import surveillance to better identify and stop non-compliant or defective products from entering the
U.S. market, and expand the data sources and types used to identify hazards.

The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) provides service opportunities for Americans of all ages through
institutions that include: nonprofits, schools, faith-based and other community organizations, and local governments. The
2018 Budget proposes to eliminate CNCS, as part of the Administration's plans to move the Nation towards fiscal responsibility
and to redefine the proper role of the Federal Government. No funds are provided in the 2018 Budget for new grants in programs
described in this account.
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 serve 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 are 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
.
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.
Retired Senior Volunteer Program.—RSVP grants support volunteers aged 55 and older with service opportunities, 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
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. For example, the Social Innovation Fund helps identify and scale-up innovative and evidence-based programs
across the country, including Pay for Success projects. And the Volunteer Generation Fund focuses on strengthening the ability
of nonprofits and other organizations to recruit, retain, and manage volunteers.
Evaluation.—This activity supports the design and implementation of research and evaluation studies and facilitates the use of evidence
and evaluation by CNCS and national service organizations.

agencies and to increase the professionalism and effectiveness of IG staff. In 2018, CIGIE estimates that it will need $9.0
million to continue to support cross-cutting IG activities and train IG staff.
Pursuant to Section 7 of the Inspector General Reform Act of 2008, resources for CIGIE activities are provided through interagency
funding, which includes member contributions and tuition reimbursement. Consistent with prior years, CIGIE plans to collect
member contributions for 2018 during the second half of 2017. CIGIE will use $5.5 million for CIGIE's Training Institute and
$3.5 million for operations. Although CIGIE will collect the required member contributions for 2018 from agency IGs in the
second half of 2017, the President's 2018 Budget includes funds in individual IG budgets that are dedicated to CIGIE and will
be collected in 2018 for use in 2019.

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.
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 Budget proposes to eliminate funding for several independent agencies, including the Delta Regional Authority. The Budget
requests $2.5 million to conduct an orderly closeout of the agency in fiscal year 2018, which includes sufficient funding
for personnel costs during shutdown activities, including incentive payments to remain during the closeout period, and for
severance or retirement pay, and for non-personnel costs associated with the agency's closure such as lease termination, equipment
disposal, and compliance with recordkeeping requirements. The Budget also proposes statutory authority to transfer outstanding
grant obligations and associated administrative and oversight responsibilities to the Department of Agriculture.

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 were not in
compliance with Federal law, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or State law. Given that the Budget proposes to eliminate
the Denali Commission, it also proposes statutory authority to transfer any unobligated and obligated balances from the bulk
fuel storage tank program, and associated administrative and oversight responsibilities, to the Department of Agriculture,
and proposes to end transfers of interest to the Denali Commission.

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 Budget provides resources to support the D.C. Courts' core functions. In addition, the Budget provides resources for capital
improvements to continue construction of the eastern 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 $265.4 million includes $206.5 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 $58.9 million for capital improvements for District courthouse facilities. Under a separate transmittal
to the Congress, the District of Columbia Courts are requesting $380.9 million: $217.3 million for operations and 163.6 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 $49.9 million. Under a separate transmittal to the Congress, the Courts are also requesting $49.9 million for Defender
Services and a transfer of up to $20 million from the Defender Services account to the operating account for capital improvements.

The Superior Court of the District of Columbia administers 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 administrative
expenses for the year. This account receives the annual payments from the General Fund and immediately transfers these amounts
into the Judicial Fund.

District of Columbia General and Special Payments
The District of Columbia 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.
Federal Funds
Federal Payment for Resident Tuition Support
federal payment for resident tuition support
For a Federal payment to the District of Columbia, to be deposited into a dedicated account, for a nationwide program to be
administered by the Mayor, for District of Columbia resident tuition support, $30,000,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That such funds, including any interest accrued thereon, may be used on behalf of eligible District of Columbia residents
to pay an amount based upon the difference between in-State and out-of-State tuition at public institutions of higher education,
or to pay up to $2,500 each year at eligible private institutions of higher education: Provided further, That the awarding of such funds may be prioritized on the basis of a resident's academic merit, the income and need of eligible
students and such other factors as may be authorized: Provided further, That the District of Columbia government shall maintain a dedicated account for the Resident Tuition Support Program that
shall consist of the Federal funds appropriated to the Program in this Act and any subsequent appropriations, any unobligated
balances from prior fiscal years, and any interest earned in this or any fiscal year: Provided further, That the account shall be under the control of the District of Columbia Chief Financial Officer, who shall use those funds
solely for the purposes of carrying out the Resident Tuition Support Program: Provided further, That the Office of the Chief Financial Officer shall provide a quarterly financial report to the Committees on Appropriations
of the House of Representatives and the Senate for these funds showing, by object class, the expenditures made and the purpose
therefor.
Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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 25,000 students. The Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2016 reduced the annual family income ceiling for program eligibility from $1,000,000 to $750,000 starting in the 2016–2017
school year. This change does not affect current grant recipients whose annual family income exceeds $750,000; these students
will continue to be eligible for the grants until graduation.

year: Provided further, That within funds provided for opportunity scholarships up to $3,200,000 shall be for the activities specified in sections 3007(b) through 3007(d) and 3009 of the Act.

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) 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 on
a quarterly basis 25 percent of its estimated yearly bill 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 by making up the missed agency payment(s) with
a permanent, indefinite appropriation, which must then be reimbursed by the appropriate agency or agencies.

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 2018 Budget is an opportunity to advance the work the Commission began with the adoption of the Strategic Plan for fiscal
years 2012–2018. 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 Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM or the Bank) is the official export credit agency of the United States.
EXIM is an independent, Federal agency that supports American jobs by facilitating the export of U.S. goods and services.
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 2018 Budget estimates that the Bank's export credit support will total $20.0 billion, and will be funded entirely by receipts
collected from the Bank's customers. The Bank estimates it will collect $587.7 million in 2018 in receipts in excess of expected
losses on transactions authorized in 2018 and prior years. These amounts will be used to cover administrative expenses in
an amount not to exceed $95.5 million, of which $14.0 million is for technology expenses. Any excess will be deposited in
the General Fund of the Treasury. The 2018 Budget requests $0 in subsidy costs and cancels $165.0 million in the Tied Aid
Fund.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records 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 Export-Import Bank is a wholly-owned Government corporation. Capital stock of $1 billion was purchased by the U.S. Treasury.
The Export-Import 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 Export-Import Bank's net excess of program costs over revenue were -$849.4 million in 2016. The total Government net position
in the Bank was $354.3 million on September 30, 2016.

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, 2016, the System was composed of three Farm Credit Banks, one Agricultural Credit Bank, 74 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 information that the IG Act requires to be included is provided below:
The aggregate budget request for the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is $1,587,934.
The amount needed for OIG training is $17,450 (tuition).
The amount needed to support the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency is $3,010.
The FCA IG's budget request for 2018 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 2016, the Insurance Fund was $63 million below the 2 percent secure base amount as of September 30, 2016 at 1.97 percent.
For 2016, the Corporation is assessing insurance premiums at 16 basis points for the first half and 18 basis points for the
second half of the year 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 2017, the Corporation's Board approved an assessment on insurance premiums of 15 basis points on adjusted insured
debt obligations and 10 basis points on non-accrual loans and other-than-temporarily impaired investments.
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 2017.

Auction Receipts
The Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2015 requires 30 MHz of spectrum to be reallocated from Federal use to non-Federal use or shared
Federal and non-Federal use, or a combination thereof; requires the FCC to auction this spectrum by 2024; and extends the
FCC's auction authority only to allow auction of this spectrum. To facilitate this, the Act also authorizes the use of funds
from the Spectrum Relocation Fund for research and development and planning activities by Federal entities that are expected
to increase the probability of relocation from or sharing of Federal spectrum and that meet other requirements. The Budget
proposes to require the auction of additional spectrum by 2027 and further extend the FCC's auction authority solely to allow
this auction to proceed. Auction proceeds are expected to exceed $6.0 billion in 2027.
Salaries and expenses
For necessary expenses of the Federal Communications Commission, as authorized by law, including uniforms and allowances therefor,
as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5901–5902; not to exceed $4,000 for official reception and representation expenses; purchase and
hire of motor vehicles; special counsel fees; and services as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3109, $322,035,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That $322,035,000 of offsetting collections shall be assessed and collected pursuant to section 9 of title I of the Communications Act of 1934,
shall be retained and used for necessary expenses, and shall remain available until expended: Provided further, That the sum herein appropriated shall be reduced as such offsetting collections are received during fiscal year 2018 so as to result in a final fiscal year 2018 appropriation estimated at $0: Provided further, That any offsetting collections received in excess of $322,035,000 in fiscal year 2018 shall not be available for obligation: Provided further, That remaining offsetting collections from prior years collected in excess of the amount specified for collection in each
such year and otherwise becoming available on October 1, 2017, shall not be available for obligation: Provided further, That, notwithstanding 47 U.S.C. 309(j)(8)(B), proceeds from the use of a competitive bidding system that may be retained
and made available for obligation shall not exceed $111,150,000 for fiscal year 2018: Provided further, That, of the amount appropriated under this heading, not less than $11,020,000 shall be for the salaries and expenses of the Office of Inspector General.
Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) works to ensure that rapid and efficient communications are available
across the country at a reasonable cost. In support of this mission, the FCC's strategic goals include closing the digital
divide, promoting innovation, protecting consumers and public safety, and reforming the FCC's processes to reduce regulatory
burdens and make the agency more transparent. The 2018 Budget includes an overall request of $322 million to fund the Commission.
Of that amount, the requested funding for the FCC's Inspector General is $11 million.

Pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (1996 Act), all telecommunications
service providers and certain other providers of telecommunications contribute to the federal Universal Service Fund (USF)
based on a percentage of their interstate and international end-user telecommunications revenues. These companies include
wireline phone companies, wireless phone companies, paging service companies and certain Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
providers. The goals of USF are to increase access to both telecommunications and advanced services, such as high-speed Internet,
for all consumers at just, reasonable and affordable rates. The 1996 Act established principles for universal service that
specifically focused on increasing access to evolving services for consumers living in rural and insular areas, and for consumers
with low incomes. Additional principles called for increased access to high-speed Internet in the nation's schools, libraries
and rural health care facilities. The FCC established four programs within the USF to implement the statute. The four programs
are: (1) High Cost - ensures consumers in rural, insular, and high cost areas have access to modern communications networks
capable of providing voice and broadband service, both fixed and mobile, at rates that are reasonably comparable to those
in urban areas; (2) Lifeline (for low-income consumers) - includes initiatives to expand phone service for residents of Tribal
lands and provides a monthly benefit on home or wireless phone and broadband service to eligible households; (3) Schools and
Libraries (E-rate) - provides funding to schools and libraries to obtain, among other things, telecommunications, telecommunications
services, and broadband; and (4) Rural Health Care - provides funding to eligible health care providers for telecommunications
and broadband services necessary for the provision of health care.

Spectrum Auction
–3
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.

Spectrum License User Fee
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 2018 and total $4.0 billion through 2027.

SEC. 501. Section 302 of the Universal Service Antideficiency Temporary Suspension Act is amended by striking "December 31, 2017", each place it appears and inserting "December 31, 2018".SEC. 502. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be used by the Federal Communications Commission to modify, amend, or change
its rules or regulations for universal service support payments to implement the February 27, 2004 recommendations of the
Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service regarding single connection or primary line restrictions on universal service
support payments.
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 balance 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 on 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, 2016, the DIF balance stood at $80.7 billion on an accrual basis, measuring expected losses to current
balances. This level is equivalent to a reserve ratio of 1.18 percent. The growth in the DIF 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 2016.) The Budget projects that
the DIF reserve ratio is expected to increase steadily, reaching the statutorily required level of 1.35 percent by 2020.
For more information, please see the Credit and Insurance chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget.

The FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF) is the ultimate 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: 1) income earned on its assets; 2) liquidation proceeds from receiverships; 3) the
proceeds of the sale of bonds by the Financing Corporation; and 4) 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. Currently, the FRF consists of two distinct pools of assets and liabilities.
One is composed of the assets and liabilities of the FSLIC transferred to the FRF (FRF-FSLIC) and the other is composed of
the RTC assets and liabilites (FRF-RTC). The assets of one pool are not available to satisfy obligations of the other. The
FRF will continue operations until all of its assets are sold or otherwise liquidated and all its liabilities are satisfied.
Any funds remaining in the FRF-FSLIC will be paid to the U.S. Treasury. Any remaining funds of the FRF-RTC will be distributed
to the REFCORP to pay interest on its bonds.

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 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.
As directed in the Administration's Executive Order on Core Principles for Regulating the U.S. Financial System, the Secretary
of the Treasury, in consultation with the heads of the member agencies of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC),
is conducting a thorough review of the extent to which existing laws, regulations, and other Government policies promote (or
inhibit) these Core Principles. Orderly Liquidation Authority is being evaluated as part of that review.

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, thereby safeguarding
the FDIC OIG's independence. Assessments paid to the Deposit Insurance Fund by insured financial institutions, and administered
by the FDIC, fully fund the FDIC OIG's appropriation and a transfer from the Deposit Insurance Fund to the OIG is made on
January 1 of each year. To the extent that the OIG performs work in connection with the FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF), the cost
of such work is derived from the FRF.

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.

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (the 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) (P.L. 101–73), the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) was established within the
Council. The Council has limited specified responsibilities regarding the ASC.
The Council is a formal interagency body empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms for the Federal
examination of financial institutions; to make recommendations to promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions;
and to conduct examiner training. Council members include a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
the Chairman of the 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 that supervise financial institutions.
In addition to its responsibilities under FIRA and FIRREA, the Council was given responsibilities by the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1980 (P.L. 96–399) and the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–208).
The Budget estimates the Council will spend approximately $19 million during 2018 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
the National Registry of licensed and certified appraisers and appraisal management companies; (5) transmitting an annual
report to Congress no later than June 15 of each year; and (6) making grants to the Appraisal Foundation and state appraiser
certifying and licensing agencies.
The ASC's 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 in 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 2018.

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 Maritime Commission (FMC or Commission) regulates oceanborne transportation in the foreign commerce of the United
States. The Commission administers the Shipping Act of 1984 (1984 Act) as amended by the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998
(OSRA); section 19 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920 (1920 Act); the Foreign Shipping Practices Act of 1988 (FSPA); and Sections
2 and 3 of Public Law 89–777. The Commission monitors the activities of ocean common carriers, marine terminal operators (MTOs),
ports and ocean transportation intermediaries who operate in the U.S. foreign commerce to ensure that they maintain just and
reasonable practices.
Ocean Transportation Intermediaries (OTIs).—The Commission issues licenses to qualified OTIs operating in the U.S. and ensures that U.S. OTIs are bonded or maintain other
evidence of financial responsibility.
Passenger Vessel Operators.—The Commission ensures that passenger vessel operators demonstrate adequate financial responsibility to indemnify passengers
in the event of nonperformance of voyages or passenger injury or death.
Shipping Act Compliance.—The FMC maintains trade monitoring and enforcement programs designed to assist regulated entities in achieving compliance
and to detect and appropriately remedy malpractices and violations of the prohibited acts set forth in section 10 of the 1984
Act; offers a dispute resolution program to resolve disputes impeding the transportation of cargo; reviews competitive activities
of common carrier alliances and other agreements among common carriers and/or terminal operators; monitors the laws and practices
of foreign governments which could have a discriminatory or otherwise adverse impact on shipping conditions in U.S. trades,
and imposes remedial action, as appropriate, pursuant to section 19 of the 1920 Act or FSPA; enforces special regulatory requirements
applicable to carriers owned or controlled by foreign governments; processes and reviews agreements, service contracts and
service arrangements pursuant to the 1984 Act for compliance with statutory requirements; and reviews common carriers' privately
published tariff systems for accessibility, accuracy, and reasonable terms.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) provides assistance to parties in labor disputes in industries affecting
commerce through conciliation and mediation.
Dispute Mediation.—FMCS assists labor and management in the mediation and prevention of disputes, other than those involving rail and air transportation,
whenever such disputes threaten to cause a substantial interruption of interstate commerce or a major impairment to the national
defense. FMCS also makes mediation and conciliation services available to Federal agencies and organizations representing
Federal employees in the resolution of negotiation disputes. FMCS provides mandatory mediation and, where necessary, impartial
boards of inquiry to assist in resolving labor disputes involving private nonprofit health care institutions. The workload
shown below includes assignments in both the private and public sectors. These numbers include collective bargaining and grievance
mediation.

The FTC's mission is to protect consumers and competition by preventing anticompetitive, deceptive, and unfair business practices
through law enforcement, advocacy, and education 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 2018 Budget includes a program level for the Commission of $306.3 million, funded by $178.6 million from the General Fund
of the U.S. Treasury and offsetting collections from two sources: $112.7 million from fees for Hart-Scott-Rodino Act premerger
notification filings as authorized by 15 U.S.C. 18a and $15 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 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
includes the Governors of the States of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas and the Secretaries of the U.S.
Departments of Agriculture, Army, Commerce, 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 2018, the Commission requests an appropriation of $93.7 million to support its authorized operations. 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. The Administration's FY 2018 request for the Commission is $87.6 million, reflected in the Appendix table and appropriations
language.
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 https://www.usitc.gov/strategic—plan.htm.

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 Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission was established as an independent federal government agency by the United States Congress
in 1975 (P.L. 94–118) to strengthen the U.S.-Japan relationship through educational, cultural, and intellectual exchange.
It administers a U.S. government trust fund that originated in connection with the return to the Japanese government of certain
U.S. facilities in Okinawa and for postwar U.S. assistance to Japan. The Commission is allowed to make expenditures from the
fund in an amount not to exceed five percent annually of the fund's original principal to pay Commission expenses and to make
grants to support its mission. The commission is a grant making agency that supports research, education, public affairs and
exchange with Japan. Its mission is to support reciprocal people-to-people understanding, and to promote partnerships that
advance common interests between Japan and United States.

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 the 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 the 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 established the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution (U.S. Institute) as a part
of the Udall Foundation. The U.S. Institute provides impartial collaboration, consensus-building, and conflict resolution
services on a wide range of environmental, natural and cultural resources, Tribal, and public lands issues involving the Federal
Government. The U.S. Institute's work enhances project efficiency, reduces costs, increases government capacity to serve citizens,
increases the likelihood of avoiding litigation, and delivers better and more durable outcomes. The U.S. Institute's range
of services include consultations, assessments, process design, convening, mediation, facilitation, training, stakeholder
engagement, Tribal consultation, and other related collaboration and conflict resolution activities. The U.S. Institute specializes
in providing assistance with national and regionally important environmental challenges; multiparty high-conflict cases where
an impartial Federal convener is needed to broker participation in a collaborative process or conflict resolution effort;
collaborative efforts involving Tribes and Native people, including government-to-government consultation between Tribes and
Federal agencies; interagency and interdepartmental collaborations; issues involving multiple levels of government (Federal,
State, Local, Tribal) and the public; issues that require substantive expertise (e.g., NEPA, transportation infrastructure
projects, endangered species, cultural resources); and projects that require funding from multiple agencies and/or private
organizations.

The mission of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is to provide, through regulation and supervision, a safe and
sound credit union system, which promotes confidence in the national system of cooperative credit. Credit unions are privately-owned,
cooperative associations organized for the purpose of promoting thrift and creating a source of credit for their members .
As of September 30, 2016, the total number of federally-chartered credit unions was 3,648 with total assets of more than $663
billion.
NCUA, through its Operating Fund, conducts activities prescribed by the Federal Credit Union Act of 1934, 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, orders of conservatorship and
orders of 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.

The primary purpose of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share Insurance Fund) is to provide insurance for deposits
of member accounts (also known as insured member shares) for nearly 107 million members in federally-chartered credit unions
and state-chartered credit unions that qualify for insurance under the Federal Credit Union Act. As of September 30, 2016,
5,844 state and Federal credit unions were insured by the Share Insurance Fund with insured member shares of $1 trillion—an
increase of $60 billion, or six percent, year-on-year.
Following a cost allocation method that distributes National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) costs between its insurance
and regulatory functions, the Share Insurance Fund reimburses the NCUA Operating Fund for its share of administrative costs.
In 2016, the Share Insurance Fund paid reimbursements of $202 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 2008 financial crisis and to recover such losses over time through mitigation efforts and assessments on federally-insured
credit unions. As of June 30, 2016, the remaining net resolution costs of corporate credit union failures were projected to
range from approximately $0.8–2.4 billion. Federally-insured credit unions have already paid assessments totaling $4.8 billion.
Due to legal recoveries from the parties that created and sold troubled assets to failed corporate credit unions, NCUA was
able to accelerate the repayment of the Stabilization Fund's outstanding U.S. Treasury borrowings, and there is no longer
an outstanding balance as of October 2016. The Stabilization Fund is currently set to sunset on June 30, 2021, or earlier
at the Board's discretion. 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 member credit unions experiencing unusual or unexpected liquidity shortfalls by meeting
their liquidity needs through short-term, seasonal and/or protracted adjustment credit and thereby encourage savings, support
consumer and mortgage lending. The two primary sources of funds for the CLF are stock subscriptions from member credit unions
and borrowings from the Federal Financing Bank. The borrowing authority of the CLF is limited by statute to 12 times the
subscribed capital stock and surplus (retained earnings) which equates to $6.1 billion as of September 30, 2016.

The Community Development Revolving Loan Fund (CDRLF) was established by Congress in 1979 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.
For the revolving loan program, CDRLF had outstanding loans of $9.1 million (25 loans outstanding to 25 credit unions) as
of September 30, 2016. For the technical assistance program, CDRLF made 309 technical assistance awards totaling $2.5 million
in 2016 from the multi-year appropriations. The Budget does not request CDRLF discretionary appropriations for 2018.

Casehandling (formerly Field investigations in 2015 and earlier).—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 (activities moved to Casehandling and Mission support).—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.
Internal Review.—Office of the Inspector General.
Mission Support.—Previously spread across other program activities; includes administrative, personnel, and financial management functions
conducted in the Headquarters office.

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 2018, 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 the 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 2018.

The Budget proposes to eliminate funding for several independent agencies, including the Northern Border Regional Commission
(NBRC). The Budget requests $0.9 million to conduct an orderly closeout of the agency in fiscal year 2018, which includes
sufficient funding for personnel costs during shutdown activities and for severance or retirement pay, and for non-personnel
costs associated with the agency's closure such as lease termination, equipment disposal, and compliance with recordkeeping
requirements. The Budget also proposes statutory authority to transfer outstanding grant obligations and associated administrative
and oversight responsibilities to the Department of Agriculture.

Nuclear Reactor Safety.—The Nuclear Reactor Safety Program of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) encompasses licensing, regulating, and
overseeing civilian nuclear power, research and test reactors, and medical isotope facilities in a manner that adequately
protects public health and safety and the environment. This program also provides assurance of the physical security of facilities
and protection against radiological sabotage. This program contributes to the NRC's safety and security strategic goals through
the activities of the Operating Reactors and New Reactors Business Lines that regulate existing and new nuclear reactors to
ensure their safe operation and physical security.
Nuclear Materials and Waste Safety.—The Nuclear Materials and Safety Program reflects the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) effort to license, regulate,
and oversee nuclear materials in a manner that adequately protects the public health and safety and the environment. This
program provides assurance of physical security of the most risk-significant materials and waste and protection against radiological
sabotage, theft, or diversion of nuclear materials. Through this program, the NRC regulates uranium processing and fuel facilities,
research and pilot facilities, nuclear materials users (medical, industrial, research, and academic),spent fuel storage, spent
fuel and material transportation packaging, decontamination and decommissioning of facilities, and low-level and high-level
radioactive waste. This program contributes to the NRC's safety and security strategic goals through the activities of the
Fuel Facilities, Nuclear Materials Users, Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation, Decommissioning and Low-Level Waste, and
High-Level Waste Business Lines.
High-Level Waste.—The High-Level Waste Business Line supports the NRC's activities for the proposed deep geologic repository for the disposal
of spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, using appropriations from the Nuclear
Waste Fund.

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE), 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 Ethical Conduct for Government
Officers and Employees 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. OGE, in concert with agency ethics practitioners throughout the
executive branch, ensures that employees fulfill this great trust.
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 26,000 public and more than 380,000 confidential financial disclosure report filers;
ensures that executive branch agency ethics programs are in compliance with applicable ethics laws and regulations; operates
and maintains Integrity, a public financial disclosure management application required by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act
of 2012; provides education and training to the more than 4,500 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 2016, OSC received 6,041 new cases, an increase of 15 percent over 2014 levels and the second highest total in agency history.
Of this total, a record 4,111 were prohibited personnel practice cases, a 22 percent increase from 2014 levels. In 2016, OSC
resolved 5,661 matters, the second highest total in the agency's history. OSC obtained a near record 276 favorable actions
for Federal employees in response to prohibited personnel practice complaints, including 218 favorable actions, in response
to complaints of reprisal for whistleblowing.
During 2016, OSC received 1,717 new disclosures, the second highest total in agency history and a 10 percent increase over
2014 levels. OSC's Disclosure Unit processed and closed 1,669 disclosures, a 27 percent increase from 2014 levels, and referred
40 disclosures of waste, fraud, and abuse to agency heads for investigation.
During 2016, OSC received 582 whistleblower disclosures from employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the second
highest total in agency history. OSC's work with VA whistleblowers helped promote accountability and improvements within the
VA. OSC continues to receive a disproportionately large number of cases from VA employees and has established a priority intake
system for VA claims.
OSC conducts outreach and education activities on its program areas to inform and train agencies to prevent prohibited personnel
practices, whistleblower reprisals, Hatch Act and USERRA violations, and claims of fraud, waste and abuse. In 2016 OSC conducted
190 outreach activities throughout the Federal Government.

For 2017 and 2018, OSC projects intakes for whistleblower disclosure, Hatch Act, and prohibited personnel practice cases to
follow recent trends and stabilize around 6,000 new cases received each year. OSC's caseload will remain high in light of
the ongoing issues at VA and the increased media exposure VA whistleblowers and whistleblowers in general are receiving.
Overall, the funding requested for 2018 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 Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, Public Law 91–375, converted the Post Office Department into the U.S. Postal Service
(Postal Service), 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 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.
Since 1971, there have been several Postal reforms. Notably, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (P.L. 101–239)
moved the Postal Service "off-budget" so that, beginning in 1990, the receipts and disbursements of the Fund are not considered
within the on-budget net spending totals, although they are included within the unified spending and deficit totals. More
recently, the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (P.L. 109–435) made a number of changes affecting the operations
and oversight of the Postal Service. The Act provided for separate accounting and reporting for market-dominant products such
as First-Class mail and competitive products such as package delivery. The Act amended the process for determining rate increases
for market-dominant products, in part by imposing a limitation on rate increases linked to the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers (CPI-U). In 2017, the Postal Regulatory Commission will determine if changes should be made to the rate structure
including whether to continue the CPI-U cap on increases.
The Act also created the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund to put the Postal Service on a path that fully funds
its substantial retiree (annuitant) health benefits liabilities. This Fund receives from the Postal Service: 1) the pension
savings provided to the Postal Service by the Postal Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) Funding Reform Act of 2003 (P.L.
108–18) that were held in escrow through 2006; 2) a 10-year stream of payments defined within the Act 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 Postal 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 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. Since the Act's passage in 2006, the Postal Service contributed over $50
billion to the Retiree Health Benefits Fund but has defaulted on $34 billion in total required payments since FY 2012.
Beginning in 2017, the Act also requires the Postal Service to begin a 27-year amortization to retire its unfunded liability
under CSRS.
The activities of the 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.
The Postal Service's statutory borrowing authority is capped at $15 billion, with the annual increase in outstanding debt
limited to $3.0 billion. As of September 30, 2016, the total debt instruments issued and outstanding pursuant to this authority
amount to the full $15 billion.
The Budget estimates that the Postal Service will have an annual operating deficit of $4.7 billion in 2018 and more than $5
billion in each subsequent year through 2027. Given the Postal Service's history of using defaults to on-budget accounts to
continue operations despite losses, the Budget reflects partial or full defaults on required pension and retiree health amortization
and normal cost payments to prevent the Postal Service from running unsustainable deficits. See also the Budget Process section
of the Analytical Perspective volume of the Budget.

The Budget proposes legislation grounded in the principles of fiscal responsibility and sound financial management to restore
solvency to the Postal Service. The proposal would ensure that the Postal Service funds existing commitments to current and
former employees from business revenues not taxpayer funds.
The Budget proposes operational reforms to reduce costs and improve revenue, including: 1) authority to reduce mail delivery
frequency where there is a business case for doing so; 2) allowing the Postal Service 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; 4) enhancing Postal Service governance to ensure sound financial management; and 5) requiring
the future rate structure for the Postal Service to provide enough flexibility to ensure both the stability of Postal operations
and the ability of the Postal Service to meet its statutory obligations for retiree health and pension costs. The Budget estimates
that these operational reforms will improve the Postal Service's financial position by $47 billion over 10 years.
The Budget also proposes Government-wide reforms to pensions and health insurance costs that are estimated to further reduce
Postal Service operating costs by $33 billion over 10 years. See the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) section of the Appendix
for more information. Consistent with these Government-wide changes, the Budget proposes modifying the Postal Service's contributions
for life and health insurance for employees to be consistent with the employer contribution provided for all other Federal
employees. This change provides $1 billion in relief over the Budget widow.
Finally, to better reflect the true cost of the Postal workforce, the Budget proposes to require that OPM calculate any unfunded
liabilities and resulting amortization payments for the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employee Retirement
System (FERS) 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. These changes will reduce Postal Service costs
by $3.4 billion over the Budget window.
In total, the Budget estimates that these reforms will reduce the unified budget deficit by $46 billion over 10 years and
result in on-budget savings of $27 billion through higher payments from the Postal Service to on-budget OPM accounts.

U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG) is an independent organization charged with reporting to Congress on
the overall efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of Postal Service 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 Postal Service programs
and operations.
The Budget proposes $234,650,000 for the 2018 operations of the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Postal Service.
Pursuant to P.L. 109–435, the 2018 appropriation request of the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Postal Service is
$275,200,000.
Section 603(b)(1) of P.L. 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 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
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, P.L. 109–435) assigned new responsibilities to the Commission, including
providing regulatory oversight of the pricing of Postal Service products and services, ensuring Postal Service 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 P.L. 109–435, the 2018 appropriation request of the Postal Regulatory Commission is $14,440,000. 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 has operated without annual appropriations
since FY 2013. Funds to operate the park and its public programs 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 semi-annually on
its operations to the U.S. Congress, as well as inform the public of its activities, as appropriate.

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.

PROMESA (Public Law 114–187) created an oversight board that is not a department, agency, establishment, or instrumentality
of the Federal Government but is an entity within the territorial government, which is not subject to the supervision or control
of any Federal agency. See 42 U.S.C. § 2121(c). Although the Board's financing is derived entirely from the territorial government, the flow of funds from the territory
to the Board is mandated by Federal law. Because Federal law prescribes the flow of funds to the Board, the Budget reflects
the allocation of resources by the territorial government to the new territorial entity with a net zero Federal deficit impact,
consistent with long-standing budgetary concepts. Because the Board itself is not a Federal entity, its operations will not
be included in the Federal Government's Budget.

For necessary expenses for the Railroad Retirement Board ("Board") for administration of the Railroad Retirement Act and the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, $111,225,000, to be derived in such amounts as determined by the Board from the railroad retirement accounts and from moneys credited
to the railroad unemployment insurance administration fund: Provided, That notwithstanding section 7(b)(9) of the Railroad Retirement Act this limitation may be used to hire attorneys only through
the excepted service: Provided further, That the previous proviso shall not change the status under Federal employment laws of any attorney hired by the Railroad
Retirement Board prior to January 1, 2013.

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 includes a request to amend the Social Security Act to provide access for the Railroad Retirement Board
to the National Directory of New Hires.

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 2016,
$3.921 million was advanced and $3.843 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 SEC'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 conducts the SEC's National 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' (TM) mission is to establish and maintain standards for fair, orderly, and efficient
markets while fostering investor protection and confidence in the markets. TM oversees the activities of industry self-regulatory
organizations, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and 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 integrates 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,
the Office of the Chief Accountant, and the Office of International Affairs.
The SEC is funded through offsetting fees and assessments collected pursuant to section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78ee). The Budget proposes $1.602 billion in collections to fund SEC operations in 2018. Because the SEC's
budget is offset by fees, the agency's funding level has no impact on the Federal deficit.
In addition to $1.602 billion in support of operations, the Budget proposes an amount associated with potential relocation
costs, such as build out, information technology infrastructure, security-related equipment, and appropriate General Services
Administration (GSA) fees, if the outcome of the GSA's competitive lease acquisition process for the SEC's expiring headquarters
leases requires the SEC to relocate. At this time, this amount is estimated at $245 million. These funds support the current
schedule which projects a lease award in 2018. This amount would not be used for the operations of the SEC and the proposed
appropriations language provides a mechanism whereby any unused portion of these funds could be refunded to fee payers (or
returned to the General Fund of the Treasury) as rapidly as practicable.

Section 991 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111–203) (the Dodd-Frank Act) amended section
4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78d) to establish 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. The Reserve Fund provisions took effect on October 1, 2011.
The Reserve Fund is funded 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 million and obligations from the Reserve Fund may not exceed
$100 million. The balance in the Reserve Fund may not exceed $100 million. Amounts in the Reserve Fund are available until
expended. (The remainder of registration fee collections for each fiscal year are deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury
and are not available for obligation by the Commission.)
Amounts collected and 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 amounts from the Reserve Fund within
10 days.
The 2018 Budget proposes to eliminate the Reserve Fund in 2019. Registration fees currently deposited in the Reserve Fund
would be redirected to the General Fund of the Treasury.

As part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111–203) (the Dodd-Frank Act), Congress substantially
expanded the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC or Commission) 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 knowledge of possible securities laws violations to assist the Federal Government in identifying and prosecuting individuals
who violate the Federal securities laws.
To comply with direction provided in the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC's Division of Enforcement established an Office of the Whistleblower
to administer and enforce the whistleblower award program. The Investor Protection Fund (the Fund), established by the Dodd-Frank
Act, provides resources for payments to whistleblowers and for the SEC's Office of the Inspector General Employee Suggestion
Program. Deposits into the Fund are comprised of a portion of monetary sanctions collected by the SEC in judicial or administrative
actions brought by the Commission under the Federal securities laws that are not added to a disgorgement fund or other fund
under section 308 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–204), as well as amounts in such funds that will not be distributed
to injured investors. No sanction collected by the Commission can be deposited into the Fund if the balance at the time the
sanction is collected exceeds $300 million. No funds have been taken or withheld from harmed investors to pay whistleblowers
awards. The Commission is required to submit an annual report on the whistleblower award program to the Committee on Banking,
Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives.
The figures reported for 2017 and 2018 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.

The Smithsonian Institution conducts research in natural and physical sciences, history and the history of cultures, technology
and the arts. The Institution acquires and preserves more than 154 million items of scientific, cultural, and historic importance
for reference and study purposes. These resources may be accessed by millions of visitors and researchers worldwide either
in person, or increasingly online. Smithsonian's public exhibitions delve into subjects from aeronautics to zoology.
The Institution operates 19 museums and galleries, a zoological park and animal conservation and research center, research
facilities, and supporting facilities.
Included in the presentation of the Salaries and Expenses account are data for the Canal Zone biological area fund. Donations,
subscriptions, and fees are appropriated and used to defray part of the expenses of maintaining and operating the Canal Zone
biological area (60 Stat. 1101; 20 U.S.C. 79, 79a).

The Woodrow Wilson Center facilitates scholarship of the highest quality in the social sciences and humanities and communicates
that scholarship to a wide audience within and beyond Washington, D.C. This is accomplished through a resident body of fellowship
awardees, conferences, publication, and dialogue. The Budget proposes to eliminate funding for several independent agencies,
including the Woodrow Wilson Center. The Budget provides $7.5 million in FY 2018 to support an orderly transition to privately-funded
operations.

The Surface Transportation Board is charged with the economic oversight of the nation's freight rail system. The Board has
regulatory jurisdiction over freight railroad rate reasonableness, car service and interchange, mergers and line acquisitions,
line constructions, and line abandonments. [1] While the majority of the Board's work involves freight railroads, the Board
also performs certain regulatory oversight of passenger rail construction/operations and the intercity bus industry, non-energy
pipelines, household goods carriers' tariffs, and rate regulation of non-contiguous domestic water transportation. The Board
also has certain responsibilities regarding the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), with regard to on-time performance,
emergency service orders, and disputes over compensation for access to properties of freight rail carriers. [2] The bipartisan
Board was formed in 1996 as the successor agency to the Interstate Commerce Commission. [3] Prior to December 18, 2015, the
STB was decisionally independent but administratively housed within the Department of Transportation. The Surface Transportation
Board Reauthorization Act of 2015 [4] (Reauthorization Act) established the STB as a wholly independent agency, expanded its
membership from three to five Board Members, provided new certain new authority, required new rulemakings proceedings and
reports, and adjusted certain regulatory deadlines.
2018 Program.—$37,100,000 is requested to implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the directives and deadlines
set forth by the Reauthorization Act and ICCTA. This includes a request for $1,250,000 from offsetting collections of user
fees.
The following paragraphs are presented in compliance with 49 U.S.C. §1303.
The Board's Request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).—The Board has submitted to OMB a 2018 appropriation request of $37,100,000 and a request that $1,250,000 from the offsetting
collection of user fees be made available to the Board to operate at 142 full-time equivalents. The offsetting collection
of user fees is based on the costs incurred by the Board for fee-related activities and is commensurate with the costs of
processing parties' submissions. In past fiscal years, the Board received both an appropriation and authorization for offsetting
collections to be made available to the appropriation for the Board's expenses. The Budget request reflects offsetting collections
as a credit to the appropriation received, to the extent that they are collected.
This level of funding is necessary to implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the deadlines imposed
by the Reauthorization Act and ICCTA. The Board requires adequate resources to perform key functions under the Reauthorization
Act and ICCTA, including rail rate reasonableness oversight; the processing of rail consolidations, licensing, and other restructuring
proposals; and the resolution of non-rail matters. This request also includes funding to implement extensive upgrades to the
Board's information technology infrastructure and capabilities, and $1.6 million to cover newly revised estimated relocation
expenses based on information the General Services Administration has provided.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was created in 1933 as a government-owned corporation charged with a unique mission —
to improve the quality of life in the Valley through the integrated management of the region's resources. The TVA Act sets
forth the agency's purpose: to address the Valley's most important issues in energy, environmental stewardship and economic
development. 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 $892 million
in 2018 on operating revenues of $10.5 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 strategic plan to reduce its debt to approximately $22 billion by 2023. This plan, adopted by the TVA
Board in FY 2014, is designed to achieve the strategic debt goal by implementing modest annual base rate actions while focusing
on aligning operating and maintenance spending with revenues. Thus far, TVA has exceeded its cost reduction initiative goal
of reducing operating costs by $500 million from its 2013 budget by approximately $100 million and is committed to future
continuous improvement initiatives. Additionally, TVA's rate position compared to peers has improved since embarking on the
strategic debt reduction plan. At the same time, TVA has continued to make decisions to move toward an optimized generation
fleet as an important part of improving operational performance. TVA has been working for several years toward this balanced
portfolio as it provides greater flexibility to generate cleaner, low-cost energy more efficiently from a variety of fuel
sources. Watts Bar Unit 2 officially became commercially operational on October 19, 2016 after completing the final phase
of testing. The total completed cost was within the $4.7 billion limit approved by the TVA Board in January 2016. With the
addition of Watts Bar Unit 2 and minimal expected load growth, the TVA Board voted in May 2016 to surplus the property at
its Bellefonte Nuclear Plant site in order to offer it for sale. In November 2016, following a public auction, TVA entered
into a contract to sell substantially the entire site to Nuclear Development, LLC for $111 million. Nuclear Development, LLC
has up to two years to close on the property. TVA will continue to maintain the site until then. In the winter of 2016, TVA
completed installation of scrubbers at all four units of the Gallatin Fossil Plant in Tennessee. Work continues to complete
installation of selective catalytic reduction systems ("SCRs"). The SCRs are expected to be operational in the fall of 2017.
In Memphis, Tennessee, TVA is constructing 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. In March 2016, the final unit of Colbert Fossil Plant was taken
offline. TVA will continue to operate the Colbert Combustion Turbine Plant on the same reservation in Tuscumbia, Alabama.
The site features eight simple-cycle combustion turbines with a total net summer generating capacity of 712 MW. TVA also has
made progress at two locations in Kentucky. Additional pollution controls are being installed on Units 1 and 4 of the Shawnee
Fossil Plant with an anticipated operational date in the fall of 2017. At the Paradise Fossil Plant site, TVA has invested
approximately $1 billion to build a gas-fired plant to replace retired coal-fired Units 1 and 2. The new combined cycle plant
was opened in April of 2017. Paradise Unit 3 will continue operation as a coal-fired plant.
Economic Development. From the beginning, TVA was charged with providing the people of the Tennessee Valley region greater opportunities for prosperity.
To that end, TVA works to foster capital investment and job growth in the Valley in collaboration with regional, state and
local organizations. In fiscal year 2016, TVA worked in partnership with communities and the business sector to spur $8.3
billion in business investment in the Tennessee Valley region and helped attract and retain more than 72,000 jobs.
Financing. Amounts estimated to become available for TVA programs in 2018 are to be derived from operating revenues of $10.5 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 $26.2 billion at the beginning of 2017 and are estimated
to be $26.2 billion by the end of 2018. At the beginning of 2017, TVA had $2.0 billion in debt-like obligations that are not
counted against its statutory debt cap. In addition, TVA had an unfunded pension liability of $5.9 billion in 2016.
Operating results and financial conditions. Payments to the Treasury from power proceeds in 2018 are estimated at a $7 million return on the appropriation investment
in the power program. Total capital spending for 2018 is estimated at $1.9 billion, which in addition to new generation capacity
includes $300 million for environmental projects and $1.0 billion to maintain TVA's existing generation assets. Total Government
equity at September 30, 2018, is estimated to be $886 million more than that at September 30, 2017. This change includes the
estimated net income from power operations and payments to the Treasury. As of September 30, 2016 the funding status of TVA
employees' defined benefit pension plan (TVARS) increased to a 55% funding ratio and $5.9 billion unfunded liability. This
compares to a 53% funding ratio and $6.0 billion unfunded liability in 2015, and a 62% funding ratio and $4.8 billion unfunded
liability in 2014. TVA contributed $275 million to TVARS, compared to a minimum required contribution under the TVARS rules
of $209 million, and incurred $460 million in actuarial costs in 2016. TVA also made $692 million in payments to beneficiaries
and earned $733 million, or an 11 percent rate of return, on the plan's investment assets in 2016.

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. Congress recently reauthorized two additional judgeships on a temporary basis per Pub. L. 114–315.
Judges are appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for 15-year terms. The Court currently
has six active judges and three judicial vacancies, with one of those active judges scheduled to retire this coming May. That
will leave the Court with only five active judges. Upon retirement, a judge may choose to be recalled-eligible, and thus willing
to be recalled to service by the Chief Judge. Currently, eight of the Court's nine retired judges are recalled eligible, and
are recalled to service on a rotational basis. Recall-eligible retired judges may elect full retirement at any time. 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. 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.
In 1992, the Congress authorized the Court to transfer funds 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.
A total of $33,608,000 of which $31,028,000 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 $2,580,000, 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.

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 Budget proposes to eliminate funding for several independent agencies, including the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness
(USICH), as part of the Administration's plans to move the Nation towards fiscal responsibility and to redefine the proper
role of the Federal Government. The Budget requests $570,000 to conduct an orderly closeout of USICH, which includes sufficient
funding for limited closeout activities and payroll liabilities that come due in fiscal year 2018, including severance for
USICH staff.
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 prevent and end homelessness. USICH's authorization will expire on October 1, 2018 under current law.

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 Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In accordance with the legislation governing VEF's
operations, VEF is due to sunset in 2018.

Federally Created Non-Federal Entities
The majority of budgetary accounts are associated with departments or other entities that are clearly Federal agencies. In
other cases, budgetary accounts reflect a measure of Governmental activity in the economy, though the activity may have no
direct relationship with the United States Treasury. Federally created non-federal entities may be in the Budget because they
were created by Federal law, they have some measure of regulatory or other authority conferred to them by law, or because
they serve a public good directed by the Government. The following accounts are each deemed to be budgetary and fulfill the
goal of presenting a Budget that is comprehensive of the full range of Federal activities.

The Affordable Housing Program was created by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA).
FIRREA requires each of the Federal Home Loan Banks to contribute 10-percent of its previous year's net earnings to an Affordable
Housing Program (AHP) to be used to subsidize the cost of affordable homeownership and rental housing. The Federal Housing
Finance Agency (FHFA) regulates the AHP and ensures that the AHP fulfills its mission.

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).

The Budget proposes to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Travel Promotion (also known as Brand USA) as part of the
Administration's plans to move the Nation toward fiscal responsibility and to redefine the proper role of the Federal Government.
The Budget redirects the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) surcharge currently deposited in the Travel Promotion
Fund to the ESTA account at Customs and Border Protection and provides $5.0 million of these collections to the International
Trade Administration to administer the Survey of International Air Travelers.

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 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.

Information Schedules for the Thrift Savings Fund
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 estimated status of the Fund is shown below:

Note: Because the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) does not report budgetary data to Treasury, amounts shown
above were derived from the PCAOB's financial data.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Act) (P.L. 107–204), as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act (P.L. 111–203), established the PCAOB to oversee the audits and auditors of both public companies that are subject to
Federal securities laws and broker-dealers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in order to protect
the interests of investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate, and independent audit
reports.
Funding for the PCAOB comes from registration and annual fees paid by public accounting firms and accounting support fees
paid by public companies and SEC-registered broker-dealers. The Act designated the Commission to oversee the PCAOB and specifies
that the PCAOB's budget and the accounting support fee be subject to approval by the Commission.

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 protect 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's
funding is derived entirely from 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 brokerage firms in SIPA
liquidation or for other purposes under the Act. 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 10 years.

Note: Because the standard setting body does not provide budgetary data to Treasury, amounts shown above were derived from
the standard setting body's financial data.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 (Commission) as the authoritative standard setter for purposes of the Federal securities laws in 1973.
In April 2003, the Commission reaffirmed the status of the FASB as a designated private-sector standard setting body pursuant
to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Act) (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 Act authorizes funding for the standard setting body to be derived from an accounting support fee assessed on public companies,
although the FAF has, on a voluntary basis, partially offset the fees that could be assessed pursuant to the Act by payments
derived from publication sales and licensing fees. Prior to the Act, the FASB was funded by voluntary contributions from public
companies, public accounting firms, and other stakeholders. The standard setting body's accounting support fee is subject
to review by the Commission.

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; 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; 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; and the General Fund of the Treasury.
