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 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.

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 2019 Budget funds NOAA's programs and activities within the Operations, Research, and Facilities account at approximately $2.9 billion.

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

The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund account was established in 2000 to augment State, tribal, and local programs to conserve and restore sustainable Pacific salmon populations and their habitats. Through 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.

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.

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.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 created the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) to ensure 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.
