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.
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 2019, the Current Demographic Statistics
programs will continue to implement operational and methodological efficiencies to several surveys and programs, while preserving
the fundamental social and economic data that inform effective public and private decision-making.
State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).—Mandatory appropriations are provided by the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance Program Balanced
Budget Refinement Act of 1999. The program is designed to support data collection by the Current Population Survey (CPS) on
the number of low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from this enhanced survey are used in the
formula to allocate funds to States under the SCHIP program.

This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic economic and demographic censuses and other authorized activities.
Major programs include the periodic economic programs (including the five-year economic census and census of governments),
the American Community Survey, and the decennial census. In addition, other programs provide bureau-wide geographic and data
collection and dissemination systems.
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 estimates of gross domestic product, 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 the U.S.
economy. For 2019, the Census Bureau will continue collection and processing along with analytical review and initial publication
of data for the Economic Census, as well as shift efforts from preparatory activities to collection and processing of data
for the Census of Governments.
Decennial Census.—After a decade of intensive research, testing, and operational planning, the Census Bureau is approaching peak operations
for the 2020 Census. In 2019, the 2020 Census will conduct its first major field operation, in-field address canvassing, which
will provide the final update to the 2020 Census national address list. Final refinements to each of the systems supporting
2020 Census data collection and processing operations will be completed, and the systems will be secured to protect the data
that the Nation provides. Additionally, dozens of smaller operations, such as the Local Update of Census Addresses, the Redistricting
Data Program, the Group Quarters Operation, and 2020 Census data collection operations in Puerto Rico and the Island Areas,
will either be underway or in the final planning stages.
The American Community Survey (ACS), part of the Decennial Census Program, provides current demographic, social, economic,
and housing information about America's communities, from the largest cities to the smallest rural communities. The ACS is
also a test bed for the Decennial Census and provides support in determining appropriate approaches for the 2020 Census design.
The ACS, supported by a complete and accurate address system, 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.
In 2019, the ACS will continue to capitalize on program changes that yield greater efficiencies in non-response follow-up
operations.
Geographic Support.—The Geographic Support program provides address lists and supports partnerships with all levels of government and geographic
areas, geospatial data products, and associated processing systems needed to meet the geographic requirements of all Census
Bureau programs.
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 2019, the Census Bureau will continue development and refinement of the Census Enterprise Data Collection
and Processing System capabilities for the 2020 Census, as well as the Center for Enterprise Data Services and Consumer Information
program's completion of the new data dissemination platform that will support the 2020 Census. Additionally, the Census Bureau
continues to support the Administrative Records Clearinghouse in providing the Federal government with increased capacity
to make data-driven decisions about critical programs and provide transparency about program effectiveness. Through the Clearinghouse,
the Census Bureau will continue leading the development of 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 support the allocation of over $400 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, balance of payments, GDP by state, GDP by metropolitan
area, GDP by industry, and county-level GDP (forthcoming). BEA's strategic vision is to remain the world's most respected
producer of economic accounts.

The mission of the International Trade Administration (ITA) is to create prosperity by strengthening the international competitiveness
of U.S. industry, promoting trade and investment, and ensuring fair trade and compliance with trade laws and agreements. ITA
leads the Department's export and investment platform, working with several other bureaus both within and outside the Department
to achieve this goal.
ITA, through its programs, services, and workforce, leverages its relationships with and understanding of industry and its
domestic and overseas field presence to serve a range of customers and stakeholders. The organization consists of three business
units that work together to achieve ITA's mission effectively and efficiently: (1) Industry and Analysis; (2) Enforcement
and Compliance; and (3) Global Markets. The combination of industry sector, regional, and trade expertise, alongside export
promotion, enforcement and compliance, and policy responsibilities, enables ITA to analyze customer issues and needs holistically,
and support trade enforcement and export promotion efforts in key, growing markets abroad.

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 Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) advances U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic objectives by administering
and enforcing controls on the export of sensitive goods and technologies. BIS also enforces antiboycott laws, monitors the
economic viability of the U.S. defense industry, and assists U.S. companies in complying with certain international arms agreements.
The Budget enhances BIS's ability to strengthen, streamline, and manage the U.S. export control, while increasing BIS's capability
to complete effective investigations and assessments that identify the impacts of imports of industry-specific products have
on U.S. national security. The Budget increases resources to support the Department of Commerce's membership in the Committee
on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which reviews transactions that could result in control of a U.S. business
by a foreign person to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.

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.

The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Science, Observation, Monitoring and Technology Fund provides funding for the NOAA RESTORE
Act Science Program. The purpose of this program is to initiate and sustain an integrative, holistic understanding of the
Gulf of Mexico ecosystem and support, to the maximum extent practicable, restoration efforts and the long-term sustainability
of the ecosystem, including its fish stocks, fishing industries, habitat, and wildlife through ecosystem research, observation,
monitoring, and technology development. To ensure the best use of resources the Program will coordinate with existing federal
and state science and technology programs, including other activities funded under the RESTORE Act. Section 1604 of the RESTORE
Act authorized funding for the Program by providing 2.5% of the funds made available through the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust
Fund.

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

The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund account was established in 2000 to augment State, tribal, and local programs to conserve
and restore sustainable Pacific salmon populations and their habitats. Through 2017, 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, but provides continued support for the science and technical
assistance programs necessary to inform salmon recovery.

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.

For necessary expenses of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provided for by law, including defense of
suits instituted against the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO, $3,416,366,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That the sum herein appropriated from the general fund shall be reduced as offsetting collections of fees and surcharges
assessed and collected by the USPTO under any law are received during fiscal year 2019, so as to result in a fiscal year 2019 appropriation from the general fund estimated at $0: Provided further, That during fiscal year 2019, should the total amount of such offsetting collections be less than $3,416,366,000 this amount shall be reduced accordingly: Provided further, That any amount received in excess of $3,416,366,000 in fiscal year 2019 and deposited in the Patent and Trademark Fee Reserve Fund shall remain available until expended: Provided further, That the Director of USPTO shall submit a notification to reprogram funds to the Committees on Appropriations of the House
of Representatives and the Senate for any amounts made available by the preceding proviso and such notification shall be treated
as a reprogramming under section 504 of this Act and shall not be available for obligation or expenditure except in compliance with the procedures set forth in
that section: Provided further, That any amounts reprogrammed in accordance with the preceding proviso shall be transferred to the United States Patent
and Trademark Office "Salaries and Expenses" account: Provided further, That from amounts provided herein, not to exceed $900 shall be made available in fiscal year 2019 for official reception and representation expenses: Provided further, That in fiscal year 2019 from the amounts made available for "Salaries and Expenses" for the USPTO, the amounts necessary to pay (1) the difference
between the percentage of basic pay contributed by the USPTO and employees under section 8334(a) of title 5, United States
Code, and the normal cost percentage (as defined by section 8331(17) of that title) as provided by the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) for USPTO's specific use, of basic pay, of employees subject to subchapter III of chapter 83 of that title,
and (2) the present value of the otherwise unfunded accruing costs, as determined by OPM for USPTO's specific use of post-retirement
life insurance and post-retirement health benefits coverage for all USPTO employees who are enrolled in Federal Employees
Health Benefits (FEHB) and Federal Employees Group Life Insurance (FEGLI), shall be transferred to the Civil Service Retirement
and Disability Fund, the FEGLI Fund, and the Employees FEHB Fund, as appropriate, and shall be available for the authorized
purposes of those accounts: Provided further, That any differences between the present value factors published in OPM's yearly 300 series benefit letters and the factors
that OPM provides for USPTO's specific use shall be recognized as an imputed cost on USPTO's financial statements, where applicable:
Provided further, That within the amounts appropriated, $2,000,000 shall be transferred to the "Office of Inspector General" account for activities
associated with carrying out investigations and audits related to the USPTO.
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended).
The amounts included for 2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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. The Budget supports a 10 year extension of
the authority of the Director of the USPTO to set or adjust any fee under Section 10, subsection (a) of the Leahy-Smith America
Invents Act of 2011.
Patent program.—Requested funding for 2019 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.
Trademark program.—The 2019 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 NIST Laboratories address increasingly complex measurement challenges, ranging from the very small
(quantum devices for sensing and advanced computing) to the very large (vehicles and buildings), and from the physical 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.

infrastructure for U.S. industry and academia to solve industry-relevant problems. 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.
The request continues to fund the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL) manufacturing
institute as well as the coordination of the Manufacturing USA network.
Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP).—The 2019 budget request proposes to discontinue federal funding for the MEP 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 2019 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.
To promote efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum, the Budget proposes to authorize NTIA to negotiate leases with private
entities that would expand their access to federal spectrum. This authority will complement ongoing efforts to make Federal
spectrum available for commercial uses through auctions conducted by the Federal Communications Commission.

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. As of the
end of December 2017, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands opted-in to FirstNet's
buildout plans. Pacific territories have until March 2018 to make a decision. FirstNet's activities are now primarily reflected
in the First Responder Network Authority.

the building, deployment, and operation of the nationwide public safety broadband network. FirstNet is an independent authority
within the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration and is overseen by a 15-member
Board comprised of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General of the United States, the Director of the Office
of Management and Budget, as well as 12 members that have public safety expertise, represent the interests of states, localities,
tribes, and territories and/or have technical, network or financial expertise. The First Responder Network Authority (FRNA)
account reflects funds that FirstNet is authorized to collect to reinvest into the network, enhance public safety communications,
and manage FirstNet operations. Incoming funds that are shown in the budget schedule represent funds that FirstNet will collect
from its contractor for use of spectrum licensed to FirstNet. Activities not supported through the FRNA account are either
supported through the Public Safety Trust Fund or the Network Construction Fund.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (the Act) created the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet)
within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and directed that up to $7 billion of auction
proceeds be used to support the establishment of a nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network. Resources in
this account have primarily funded FirstNet's and NTIA's public safety activities with some support for public safety communications
research and Next Generation 911 (NG911) activities.
The amounts presented in the budget schedules for 2019 reflect funding for NTIA's oversight and a small portion of FirstNet's
administrative costs. In 2019, the funding for FirstNet's activities will transition to the First Responder Network Authority
with only a minimal amount remaining in the Public Safety Trust Fund and the Network Construction Fund.
