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.

Board to carry out a program of generic promotion, research, and education regarding concrete masonry products. Further,
the Act provides that funding for the Board's activities shall be derived from an assessment on manufacturers of concrete
masonry products.

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 2021, the Census Bureau
and the Bureau of Economic Analysis will continue to build a 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. Building on research in 2020 on improving
current U.S. poverty measurement methods and indicators, the Current Demographic Statistics programs will conduct research
in 2021 on financially sustainable collection methods or alternative sources of comparable data on the economic well-being
of Americans and program participation. Additionally, the Census Bureau 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 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. In 2021, the Census Bureau will finalize the last releases related to the 2017 Economic Census, while efforts will
shift to planning, development, and monitoring activities related to the 2022 Economic Census and Census of Governments.
Decennial Census.—As 2020 ends, the 2020 Census will enter a final, critical phase. In 2021, the Census Bureau will release data for apportionment
and redistricting. Additionally, several significant field operations will still be ongoing at the start of 2021. Coverage
and quality operations, including the post-enumeration survey, will independently measure the accuracy of the 2020 Census.
Nearly 147 million housing unit responses will continue through processing, editing, disclosure avoidance, storage, and preparation
for publishing. With a focus on data quality, security, and confidentiality, rigorous processes will ensure the 2020 Census
data is secure and ready to be tabulated, aggregated, and presented to the public. After operations end, the massive coordination
of people, IT, and infrastructure necessary to conduct the 2020 Census will begin the complex process of ramping down. Field
and office staff will be released, Area Census Offices will be closed, and devices and equipment will be decommissioned. As
the operational need for the 52 systems of the 2020 Census ends, they will transition to their post-2020 Census state.
Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, Congress provided $6.696 billion in 2020 to support the Decennial
Census, including $669 million dedicated towards Secretarial contingency needs that may arise during the Census operation
such as major disasters or other unforeseen risks realized, and $263 million in additional sensitivity risks to support additional
pay increases and any reduction in self-response rates beyond the current projections of the Census Bureau. However, the Budget
does not anticipate that these funds will be needed in 2020, and the schedules above reflect that. If these funds are needed
due to an unexpected increase in costs, these funds will remain available to—and be used by—the Census Bureau to carry out
its constitutional mandate.
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.
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. In 2021, the Census Bureau will launch the Frames initiative, which will integrate
full count data on persons, places, and the economy for streamlined use by all Census Bureau surveys, censuses, and official
products.
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 2021, the Census Enterprise Data Collection and Processing program will transition to the Data Ingest
and Collection for the Enterprise program to support data collection for Census Bureau censuses and surveys. The program will
focus on minimizing redundancy associated with multiple data collection systems and platforms that support different modes
of collection and ingestion, including commercial and administrative datasets. With the decommissioning of the American Fact
Finder, the Center for Enterprise Dissemination Services and Consumer Innovation will deliver all data products for the 2020
Census data, the American Community Survey, the Economic Census, and other major programs. Additionally, the Census Bureau
will expand efforts to provide disclosure protection, improve data analytics and accessibility by preserving historical information
and metadata about censuses and surveys, and modernize data storage and data analysis capabilities across all of its directorates
through the Enterprise Data Lake. The Census Bureau will establish an enterprise-wide capability to expand the use of administrative
records to improve sample survey operations, data quality, and data products and continue 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.

The Working Capital Fund finances, on a reimbursable basis, functions within the Census Bureau that are more efficiently and
economically performed on a centralized basis. The Fund also finances reimbursable work that the Census Bureau performs for
other public, including Federal, and private entities.
The Budget includes a proposal to transfer up to $208 million in unobligated balances from prior year appropriations in the
Periodic Censuses and Programs account to the Census Bureau's Working Capital Fund. These funds would be used to reconfigure
the Census Bureau's headquarters at the Suitland Federal Center in order to accommodate the proposed relocation of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics to the site, to support the proposed move of the Census Bureau's National Processing Center, and to replace
generators that provide emergency power to the Census Bureau's Bowie Computing Center. These balances would be transferred
only to the extent that they are not needed for 2020 Census operations.

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 industry,
and county-level GDP. BEA also publishes sector specific statistics on areas such as outdoor recreation and arts and culture.
Additionally, BEA and the Census Bureau will continue to build a Federal Data Service that supports research and increased
partnership with third-party data providers to accelerate data innovation and solve complex data challenges. BEA's strategic
vision is to remain the world's most respected producer of economic accounts.

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.

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 2019, over $1.4 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 $184 million will be provided to the Promote and Develop program
in 2021, 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 improve 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
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 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, $3,695,295,000, 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 2021, so as to result in a fiscal year 2021 appropriation from the general fund estimated at $0: Provided further, That during fiscal year 2021, should the total amount of such offsetting collections be less than $3,695,295,000, this amount shall be reduced accordingly: Provided further, That any amount received in excess of $3,695,295,000 in fiscal year 2021 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 to reprogram funds 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 2021 for official reception and representation expenses: Provided further, That in fiscal year 2021 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, notwithstanding any other provision of law, all fees and surcharges assessed and collected by USPTO are available
for USPTO only pursuant to section 42(c) of title 35, United States Code, as amended by section 22 of the Leahy-Smith America
Invents Act (Public Law 112–29): 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.

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 (IP) issues and promotes stronger IP protections in other countries. USPTO is funded through
fees that are paid to obtain and renew patents and trademarks.
Patent program.—The 2021 Budget requests spending authority for examining patent applications and granting patents. USPTO will continue
its priorities to issue reliable and predictable IP rights; enhance patent quality; shorten patent application pendency; ensure
optimal information technology service delivery to all users; improve appeal and post-grant processes; and promote the enforcement
of IP protections worldwide.
Trademark program.—The 2021 Budget requests spending authority 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. 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.

NIST's Industrial Technology Services (ITS) appropriations account consists of two extramural programs:
1. Manufacturing USA: Manufacturing USA, previously referred to as the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation, 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. The Budget proposes to initiate a second NIST-funded Manufacturing
USA institute while discontinuing dedicated Federal funding to the first institute.
2. Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP): The Budget request proposes to discontinue Federal funding for the
MEP program.

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 $294 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 $19.6 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 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. Through online, regional workshops, and in-person technical assistance,
BroadbandUSA will also continue to promote partnerships among state, municipal, non-profit, and private-sector organizations
in support of deployment of new community broadband systems through proven solutions that resolve problems with broadband
planning, financing, construction, and operations.
The Budget proposes to increase the Domestic and International Policies Program to fund NTIA's growing efforts to oversee,
mitigate, and manage supply chain risks to our nation's telecommunications infrastructure. This will enable NTIA to drive
and support the nation's efforts to promote and protect our economic and national security in the fast approaching 5G environment.
This Budget includes an increase in Spectrum Management Programs 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 arrangements that are more attractive and valuable to commercial entities.
The Budget also proposes an increase to fund NTIA's spectrum research for 5G and other evolving advanced communications innovations.
This funding will enable NTIA to execute advanced engineering algorithms; to improve data security and availability; to develop
a robust, spectrum usage measurement programs; and to design a spectrum efficiency program to promote and incentivize the
best possible and most efficient use of spectrum.
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.

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 2021 reflect funding for NTIA's implementation and a small portion of FirstNet's
administrative costs. In 2021, FirstNet's activities will be focused on the continued transition to the First Responder Network
Authority account with only a minimal activity remaining in the Public Safety Trust Fund. This account will expire September
30, 2022.
