The Concrete Masonry Products Research, Education, and Promotion Act of 2018 (the Act) authorized the establishment of a program,
including funds for marketing and market research activities, that is designed to: 1) strengthen the position of the concrete
masonry products industry in the domestic marketplace; 2) maintain, develop, and expand markets and uses for concrete masonry
products in the domestic marketplace; and 3) promote the use of concrete masonry products in construction and building.

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 2020, the Current
Economic Statistics programs will partner with the Bureau of Economic Analysis to develop the framework for a US Federal Data
Service that supports research and increased partnership with third-party data providers to accelerate data innovation and
solve complex data challenges.
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 2020, 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, and conduct research on
evaluating and improving current U.S. poverty measurement methods and indicators, including the supplemental poverty measure.
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 information
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 2020, the Census Bureau will continue processing and review of the 2017 Economic Census data and will release
data to the Bureau of Economic Analysis for use in setting the baseline for gross domestic product and other Principal Economic
Indicators, as well as continue processing and dissemination of the Pension and Finance components of the Census of Governments.
Additionally, planning activities will begin for the 2022 Economic Census and Census of Governments.
Decennial Census.—April 1, 2020 is Census Day and marks the culmination of nearly a decade of design, research, and testing to meet the Department
of Commerce's goal of conducting a complete and accurate decennial census. In 2020, the Census Bureau will conduct the major
self-response and non-response operations of the 2020 Census, as well as opening field offices, recruiting and onboarding
hundreds of thousands of field staff, and printing and mailing 1.5 billion pieces of mail materials, including census questionnaires.
The advertising campaign and the partnership program will be operating at peak intensity to increase awareness and encourage
participation in the 2020 Census. Additionally, data processing, editing, and preparation for publishing of census data will
begin for fulfillment of the Census Bureau's constitutional mandate to deliver apportionment counts to the President and redistricting
data to the states in fiscal year 2021.
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, 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 2020,
the ACS will continue researching and implementing methods to improve operational efficiencies.
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, including the 2020 Census.
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 2020, the Census Enterprise Data Collection and Processing program will deploy scaled and secured
systems in support of peak operations for the 2020 Census. The Center for Enterprise Data Services and Consumer Innovation
program will focus on the development of citizen-centric dissemination methods for the 2020 Census data products. 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.

As noted in the General Notes for the Budget, at the time the budget was prepared, seven 2019 annual appropriations bills
were operating under a continuing resolution (Public Law 115–245, as amended). In these cases, references to 2019 spending
reflect the levels provided by the continuing resolution. In this account, the 2019 levels are further adjusted by the amounts
included in this transmit to illustratively reflect an alternative appropriation for the 2020 Decennial Census. This adjustment
is not a formal request with legislative language included in this Appendix or that will be transmitted later. Instead, it
is an assumption regarding anticipated enactment of an alternative appropriation level for 2019.

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 strategic vision is to remain the world's most
respected producer of economic accounts. Its 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, and GDP by state, metropolitan area, industry and county. The
Bureau also strives to develop new statistics that spotlight key sectors and trends in the economy such as healthcare, outdoor
recreation and technological innovation. In 2020, BEA will partner with the Office of the Undersecretary for Economic Affairs
and the Census Bureau to develop the framework for a U.S. Federal Data Service that supports research and increased partnership
with third-party data providers to accelerate data innovation and solve complex data challenges.

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 an 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 a cancellation of $3 million of unobligated balances made available in prior years.

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 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 2018, over $1 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 complex process of transferring customs duties receipts from the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to the Department of
Commerce (DOC) to partially fund fishery activities is neither transparent to the public nor consistent with general federal
budgeting practices. In the place of customs receipts and to increase transparency, the Budget proposes to directly appropriate
funding to DOC. These funds will be provided to DOC without further appropriation and are available for the same purposes
as previous receipt-funded activities. Within DOC, an initial $158 million will be provided to the Promote and Develop program
in 2020, equal to the level of funding that would otherwise have been provided by USDA, and adjusted annually in future years.
The Administration will formalize these changes through a legislative proposal to be transmitted at a later date. This request
is part of a broader reform proposed for USDA's Section 32 program.

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.

Fishery disaster assistance is administered by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service within the Department of Commerce.
Two statutes, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act, provide
the authority for fishery disaster assistance. Under both statutes, a request for a fishery disaster determination is generally
made by the Governor of a State, or an elected leader of a fishing community, although the Secretary of Commerce may also
initiate a review at his or her own discretion. The Secretary determines whether the circumstances are consistent with relevant
statutes and warrant a fishery disaster determination. If the Secretary determines that a fishery disaster has occurred, Congress
may appropriate funds for disaster assistance, which are administered by the Secretary.
NOAA intends to revise its procedures to provide greater clarity and improved consistency with respect to the process of requesting
a fishery disaster declaration. These changes will accelerate the timeline for making disaster determinations and establish
guidelines for administering awards. The issues to be considered include, but are not limited to, deadlines, incentives for
recipients to carry insurance, required documentation of loss, cost sharing by states, other available financial assistance,
eligible uses, and prioritization of the long term sustainability of the affected fishery. The changes under consideration
will accelerate the Department's responsiveness to fishery disaster requests, help get appropriated funds distributed to affected
communities in a more timely manner, and contribute to the long term environmental and economic sustainability of the fishery.

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

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 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.

suits instituted against the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO, $3,450,681,000 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 2020, so as to result in a fiscal year 2020 appropriation from the general fund estimated at $0: Provided further, That during fiscal year 2020, should the total amount of such offsetting collections be less than $3,450,681,000 this amount shall be reduced accordingly: Provided further, That any amount received in excess of $3,450,681,000 in fiscal year 2020 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 2020 for official reception and representation expenses: Provided further, That in fiscal year 2020 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

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. 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 Budget proposes: (1) to create a Federal Capital Revolving Fund (FCRF) to fund large-dollar, Federally-owned, civilian
real property capital projects; and (2) provide specific budget enforcement rules for the FCRF that would allow it to function,
in effect, like State and local government capital budgets. The FCRF will be housed in the General Services Administration
(GSA). This proposal incorporates principles that are central to the success of capital budgeting at the State and local level
— a limit on total funding for capital investment, annual decisions on the allocation of funding for capital projects, and
spreading the acquisition cost over 15 years in the discretionary operating budgets of agencies that purchase the assets.
The Budget proposes to use the FCRF concept to fund the renovation of NIST's Building 1 in Boulder, Colorado, estimated to
be $288 million. In accordance with the principles and design of the FCRF, the Budget requests appropriations language designating
NIST's renovation as a project to be funded out of the FCRF along with 1/15 of the estimated purchase price, or $19 million,
for the first year repayment back to the FCRF.

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 2020 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 and MOBILE NOW Act (2018) to help identify additional federal spectrum to be shared or reallocated for commercial
use. NTIA will continue with its efforts through BroadbandUSA to improve the nation's understanding of broadband availability
by implementing its broadband availability data mapping initiative. BroadbandUSA will also continue 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 Budget proposes to establish a new
Program, Project, or Activity (PPA) for Public Safety Communications to provide the critical leadership and support for the
coordination, interoperability, transition, and technical resources for our nation's public safety agencies in their adoption
and implementation of advanced communications technologies.

To promote efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum, the 2020 Budget proposes to authorize the National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (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. Of the anticipated receipts from this proposal, the Budget proposes to
provide up to $50 million, to remain available until expended, to NTIA to support the agency's efforts in the modernization
of its spectrum IT systems, resulting in advanced automation tools; improved data accuracy and transparency; and spectrum
efficiency evaluation tools. Improved analytical precision will enable NTIA and Federal agencies to, among other things, identify
new spectrum sharing and leasing arrangements that are more attractive and valuable to commercial entities.

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
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 2020 reflect funding for NTIA's implementation and a small portion of FirstNet's
administrative costs. In 2020, 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.
