The Budget proposes to eliminate funding for the Economic Development Administration (EDA) 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 proposes no grant funding for the Economic Development Assistance Programs (EDAP) and proposes a cancellation of $47.0 million of unobligated and deobligated EDAP balances made available in prior years no later than September 30, 2018.

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

Current Economic Statistics.—These programs provide public and private sector data users with relevant, accurate, and timely national statistical profiles of every sector of the U.S. economy to enable governments and businesses to make informed decisions. In 2018, the Current Economic Statistics programs will reengineer survey operations and make operational and methodological changes to surveys while preserving the data that businesses use to make investment and other decisions and that drive economic growth.

Current Demographic Statistics.—These programs conduct surveys and data analyses to provide social and economic information on monthly, quarterly, and annual bases that policymakers and others need to make effective policy and program decisions. In 2018, the Current Demographic Statistics programs will make operational and methodological changes to several surveys and programs, while preserving the fundamental social and economic data that inform effective public and private decision-making.

Survey of Program Dynamics (SPD).— The SPD program provides relevant, accurate, timely, and cost-effective socio-economic data and information, which can be used by federal and state public policymakers to evaluate the effects of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 that established the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program. In 2018, the program is supported by a transfer of funding from the amount authorized for TANF Family Assistance Grants and is executed through the Survey of Income and Program Participation.

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

Survey of Program Dynamics (SPD).— The 2018 Budget proposes that funding be provided for the SPD by a transfer from the amount authorized for TANF Family Assistance Grants, instead of by a transfer from the Contingency Fund for State Welfare Programs established under Section 403(b) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 603 (b)) as executed in previous years. The SPD program provides relevant, accurate, timely, and cost-effective socio-economic data and information, which can be used by federal and state public policymakers to evaluate the effects of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 that established the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program. It is executed through the Survey of Income and Program Participation.

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

Periodic Economic Programs.—The Periodic Economic Programs include the Economic Census and the Census of Governments. These programs are integral to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimates of gross domestic product (GDP), industry inputs and outputs, and the economic activities of more than 90,000 state and local governments. Together, these programs measure the structure and functioning of nearly the entire U.S. economy. 2018 is the data collection year for the 2017 Economic Census and the 2017 Census of Governments. The Census Bureau will collect the data for both censuses electronically, with the goal of replacing paper-based methods used in past censuses, which will reduce response burden.

Decennial Census.—2018 is the final year of a four-year phase (2015—2018) focused on operational design, development, and system testing for the 2020 Census. Work in 2018 focuses on field testing and perfecting and scaling the full suite of integrated operations and systems for the Decennial Census, most notably via the 2018 End-to-End Census Test. This test will validate that 2020 Census operations, systems, and infrastructure work together to ensure proper integration and conformance with business and solution requirements. In 2018, several of the operations, such as the Redistricting Data Program, the Local Update of Census Addresses, many of the Geographic Programs, and the Field and IT Infrastructure build-out will be underway. This strong foundation is required to conduct an accurate and high-quality Decennial Census. The Census Bureau will continue planning and development to make final methodological decisions for the key cost-saving innovation areas: administrative records, re-engineered field operations, optimizing self-response, and address canvassing. Together, the innovations in these four areas have the potential to achieve a lower lifecycle cost of the 2020 Census compared to repeating 2010 Census methods. The 2018 End-to-End Census Test and the resulting operational decisions are critical to Census Bureau's ability to realize a modern, efficient, and cost-effective 2020 Census, while mitigating risk.

The funding for the ACS is part of the 2020 Decennial Program. While providing current demographic, social, economic, and housing information about all America's communities, from the largest cities to the small rural communities, the ACS remains a test bed for the Decennial Census and provides support in determining appropriate approaches for the 2020 design. The ACS is supported by a complete and accurate address system and has simplified the census design, resulting in improvements in both coverage and data quality while providing current data on detailed population, social, economic, and housing characteristics. The 2018 request for ACS reflects changes to increase efficiency in non-response follow-up operations.

Geographic Support.—The Geographic Support program provides address lists, address and geographic reference files, delineated geographic reference files, delineated geographic areas, maps, and associated processing systems needed to meet the geographic requirements of all Census Bureau programs. The 2018 request supports activities that will provide the most complete address list and maps in support of the 2020 Census operations.

Enterprise Data Collection & Dissemination Systems.—The objective of the program is to support major data collection, processing, and dissemination systems for the Census Bureau's censuses and surveys. In addition to supporting continued development of the Census Enterprise Data Collection and Processing System (in conjunction with funding provided in the Decennial Census program), the FY 2018 request consolidates funding for the Census Bureau's Data Access and Dissemination System with the Center for Enterprise Data Services and Consumer Information. The request supports the Administrative Records Clearinghouse, which will provide the federal government with increased capacity to make data-driven decisions about critical programs and provide transparency about program effectiveness to the public by developing a more comprehensive infrastructure for linking, sharing, and analyzing key Federal- and State-held administrative datasets.

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).—BEA, a principal Federal statistical agency, promotes a better understanding of the U.S. economy by providing timely, relevant, and accurate economic data in an objective and cost-effective manner. BEA's national, industry, regional, and international economic statistics present crucial information on key issues such as U.S. economic growth, regional economic development, inter-industry relationships, and the Nation's position in the world economy. These key statistics provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy and affect decisions related to interest and exchange rates, tax and budget projections, and business investment plans. The statistics are used by Federal, State, and local governments for budget development and projections and to allocate over $300 billion in Federal funds. The statistics are also used by the American public to follow and understand the performance of the Nation's economy. Some of the Bureau's widely used statistical measures include gross domestic product (GDP), personal income and outlays, corporate profits, GDP by state, GDP by metropolitan area, county-level GDP, balance of payments, and GDP by industry. BEA's strategic vision is to remain the world's most respected producer of economic accounts.

Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) Policy Support.—The 2018 Budget proposes the consolidation of ESA functions within the Office of the Secretary, BEA, and the Census Bureau. This consolidation will streamline the operations of BEA and the Census Bureau without impact to the mission and core programs of these bureaus.

The Budget proposes to eliminate the Corporation for Travel Promotion (also known as Brand USA) and redirect the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) surcharge currently deposited in the Travel Promotion Fund to the ESTA account at Customs and Border Protection. The Budget provides $5.0 million of ESTA collections to the International Trade Administration (ITA) to administer the Survey of International Air Travelers (SIAT). This funding will increase the sample size of the SIAT and will allow ITA to provide data on the economic contribution of international travel and tourism to a greater number of states and cities, as well as market intelligence on a greater number of source markets.

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

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

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

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

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).—OAR programs provide climate, weather, air chemistry, ocean and coastal research and technology with applications across NOAA's mission. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and cooperative institutes and partnership programs.

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

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

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

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

The 2018 Budget funds NOAA's programs and activities within the Operations, Research, and Facilities account at approximately $3.0 billion.

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

The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund account was established in 2000 to augment State, tribal, and local programs to conserve and restore sustainable Pacific salmon populations and their habitats. Through 2016, over $1.3 billion has been provided to the States of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Idaho and to the Pacific Coastal and Columbia River Tribes to conserve salmon. The Budget does not provide funding for this program.

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

Section 311(e)(1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to pay certain enforcement-related expenses from fines, penalties and forfeiture proceeds received for violations of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, or of any other marine resource law enforced by the Secretary. Pursuant to this authority, NOAA has established a Civil Monetary Penalty/Asset Forfeiture Fund (AFF) where proceeds are deposited. When Congress authorized the AFF it was deemed appropriate to use these proceeds to offset in part the costs of administering the enforcement program. Expenses funded through this source include: costs directly related to the storage, maintenance, and care of seized fish, vessels, or other property during a civil or criminal proceeding; expenditures related directly to specific investigations and enforcement proceedings such as travel for interviewing witnesses; enforcement-unique information technology infrastructure; and annual interagency agreement costs for the administration, adjudication process, including Administrative Law Judges.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Patent program.—Requested funding for 2018 will be used for examining patent applications and granting patents. USPTO will continue its aggressive patent pendency reduction agenda to reduce overall pendency and backlog; continue to enhance patent quality; ensure optimal information technology service delivery to all users; improve appeal and post-grant processes; and improve intellectual property protections worldwide. The Budget supports USPTO's administrative efforts to address abusive patent litigation practices and repeats the President's call for Congress to enact legislation that promotes greater transparency in the U.S. patent system and prevents frivolous lawsuits that stifle innovation.

Trademark program.—The 2018 Budget provides resources for examining trademark applications; registering trademarks; maintaining high trademark quality; ensuring optimal information technology service delivery to all users; and improving trademark practices worldwide.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) mission is: To promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST is authorized by the NIST Organic Act (15 USC 271), which outlines major roles for NIST in promoting national competitiveness and innovation. For more than 110 years, NIST has maintained the national standards of measurement, a role that the U.S. Constitution assigns to the federal government to ensure fairness in the marketplace. NIST was founded in 1901 and is one of the nation's oldest physical science laboratories. Today, the NIST Laboratory Programs work at the frontiers of measurement science to ensure that the U.S. system of measurements is firmly grounded on sound scientific and technical principles. Today, the seven NIST Laboratories address increasingly complex measurement challenges, ranging from the very small (nanoscale devices for advanced computing) to the very large (vehicles and buildings), and from the physical resilient infrastructure to the virtual (cybersecurity and the internet of things). As new technologies develop and evolve, NIST's measurement research and services remain critical to national defense, homeland security, trade, and innovation.

The Budget request for Industrial Technology Services (ITS) is consistent with the Administration's priority in 2018 to redirect domestic discretionary resources for rebuilding the military and making critical investments in the nation's security, and keep the nation on a responsible fiscal path. The ITS 2018 budget request is $21.0 million for two programs.

— Manufacturing USA: Manufacturing USA, formerly known as the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI), serves to create effective robust manufacturing research infrastructure for U.S. industry and academia to solve industry-relevant problems. The Manufacturing USA consists of linked Institutes for Manufacturing Innovation with common goals, but unique concentrations. In an Institute, industry, academia, and government partners leverage existing resources, collaborate, and co-invest to nurture manufacturing innovation and accelerate commercialization.

— Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP): The 2018 budget request proposes to discontinue federal funding for the MEP program. However, $6.0 million is requested in 2018 for the orderly wind down of federal funding for the program.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is the principal Executive Branch adviser on domestic and international telecommunications and Internet policy. NTIA also manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and performs extensive research in telecommunication sciences. The 2018 Budget: (1) continues to provide spectrum assignment and analysis support to Federal agencies; (2) supports NTIA's responsibilities under the Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2015 to help identify additional federal spectrum to be shared or reallocated for commercial use. Additionally, NTIA will continue to leverage the expertise of its BroadbandUSA program to encourage and promote partnerships among state, municipal, non-profit, and private- sector organizations and to support deployment of new community broadband systems through online and in-person technical assistance, regional workshops, and guides and tools providing proven solutions to problems in broadband planning, financing, construction, and operations.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 created the Network Construction Fund to receive transfers from the Public Safety Trust Fund in support of the construction and deployment of FirstNet's nationwide broadband network, as well as to provide funding to states who may choose to opt out of FirstNet's proposed buildout plan for that state. The 2017 obligation and outlay activity reflect Board-approved budget decisions made through August 2016. As of April 2017, the FirstNet Board had not approved 2018 obligation and outlay levels, so those amounts reflect preliminary projections. The estimates will be updated upon approval of requirements and associated funding amounts by the FirstNet Board. This account also funds NTIA administrative costs related to grant-making activity for the opt-out program under the Act.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 created the First Responder Network Authority to manage the construction, deployment, and operations of a nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network (NPSBN) for use by public safety entities. FirstNet is an independent entity within the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunication and Information Administration and is overseen by a 15-member Board comprised of representatives from the first responder community, Federal Agencies and the private sector. Initial funding for this activity was provided by spectrum auction receipts. The Act authorizes FirstNet to charge and collect fees for use of network capability as well as use of the network and infrastructure to create a sustainable funding source for future operations.

The amounts presented in the budget schedules for this account for 2018 reflect estimates of receipts from fees. Actual funding will be determined through FirstNet's National Public Safety Broadband Network contract award and the statutorily mandated state opt-out process.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (the Act) authorized the repurposing of spectrum from private license holders and Federal agencies to flexible use through specified auctions. The Act further directs that up to $7 billion of these proceeds be used to create the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to manage the building, deployment, and operations of a nationwide network for first responders and allowed NTIA to borrow $2 billion prior to the auctions authorized by the Act to support the establishment of the network.

In 2016, the PSTF received an additional $8.4 billion from the FCC as a result of the AWS-3 auction. These funds provided an additional transfer to Treasury for deficit reduction, a transfer to the Department of Transportation for the NG-911 program and the transfer to NIST of the remaining funds for public safety communications research. In addition NTIA was able to invest $333 million in Treasury securities.

The amounts presented in the budget schedules for this account for 2018 reflect projections of obligations and outlays for NTIA oversight and FirstNet administrative costs. Programmatic work for FirstNet network construction and grants to States authorized by Section 6302 of the Act are presented in the Network Construction Fund and the State and Local Implementation Fund.

As of February 2017, the FirstNet Board had not determined final obligation and outlay estimates for 2018. Estimates will be updated upon approval of requirements by the FirstNet Board.
