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 Act requires the Secretary of Commerce to issue an order that provides for the establishment of a Concrete Masonry Product
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.

As the only Federal government agency with a mission and programs focused exclusively on economic development, the Economic
Development Administration (EDA) plays a critical role in communities across the Nation. Through the agency's diverse and
flexible programs, EDA provides a broad portfolio of activities including pre-application assistance and development, application
processing, and project monitoring, as well as general support functions such as economic development research, technical
assistance, information dissemination, legal and environmental compliance, financial management, budgeting, and debt management.
The administration and oversight of the EDA's programs are carried out utilizing a network of headquarters and regional personnel
who work with local organizations and leaders to identify and invest in projects that demonstrate potential for the greatest
economic impact in distressed communities.
Reimbursable program.—EDA provides grant review and processing services to other Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis. Funds received cover
the cost of performing this work.

The Economic Development Administration Assistance Programs (EDAP).—The Economic Development Administration's (EDA) investments are administered through broad development assistance programs,
which include: Build to Scale, Economic Adjustment Assistance, Local Technical Assistance, Planning, Public Works, Research
and National Technical Assistance, STEM Apprenticeship Program, Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms, and University Centers.
For 2023, EDA is requesting $50 million to establish a new program that will act as a pilot for grants to communities experiencing
high prime-age employment gaps. EDA provides grants within each of these areas to generate or retain jobs, attract new industry
and private sector investment, encourage business expansion, and serve as a backstop to sudden and severe economic impacts.
The Budget also proposes a cancellation of $10 million of unobligated and deobligated EDAP balances made available in prior
years.

The activities of this appropriation produce statistically reliable annual data for each state on the number of low-income
children who do not have health insurance coverage.
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.

The Census Bureau has begun a multi-year process of transforming its organization and operations from a 20th century survey-centric
model to a 21st century data-centric model that blends survey data with administrative and alternative digital data sources. To support this
transformation, the Budget proposes a change to the Census Bureau's discretionary appropriations structure. The proposed structure
combines the Current Surveys and Programs and the Periodic Censuses and Programs appropriations into a new, two-year appropriation
entitled Censuses and Survey Programs.
This appropriation funds legislatively mandated economic and demographic surveys and censuses, and enterprise enabling programs
that provide bureau-wide geographic information and data collection and dissemination systems and other authorized activities.
Major programs include the current and periodic economic programs (including the monthly, quarterly, and annual economic surveys,
and five-year economic census and census of governments), current demographic statistics programs, the American Community
Survey, the decennial censuses, and enterprise enabling programs.
Economic Statistics Programs.—The Current Economic Statistics 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.
The Economic Census and the Census of Governments 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 2023, the Census Bureau will expand
its capacity to measure the economic and societal impacts of significant events or public policy challenges, advance measures
of manufacturing activity, improve measures of state and local tax revenues, and modernize measures of the construction sector.
The request for current economics sustains and expands new business formation statistics and measures new entrepreneurial
activity, including production of more detailed, sub-national data. The Bureau will also conduct the major data collection,
check-in, and data capture operations for the 2022 Economic Census, including agricultural services and following-up with
non-responding business establishments. The Census Bureau will collect data for the Finance Component of the Census of Governments
and continue to implement system improvements for more effective data editing strategies to increase efficiencies in data
processing.
Demographic Statistics Programs.—The Current Demographic Statistics 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.
The American Community Survey (ACS) provides current demographic, social, economic, and housing information about America's
communities, from the largest cities to the smallest rural communities. In 2023, the Census Bureau will research and test
new content on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. Additionally, the Census Bureau will formalize the Community Resilience
Estimates program that began during the pandemic, moving from a purely pandemic focused program toward other disasters. The
request also supports an increase reflecting the rising costs of collecting data for the Current Population Survey (CPS) and,
in coorindation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, researching innovative approaches to generating estimates about smaller
population groups. The request will also support improved global demographic and economic statistics. Finally, the Census
Bureau will develop and test an internet self-response instrument for CPS.
Decennial Census.—In 2023, the Census Bureau will release its final data products, evaluations, and assessments for the 2020 Census. The Census
Bureau will continue building off successful innovations and management practices developed for the 2020 Census, developing
a 2030 Census design through its program of research and testing, capitalizing on innovations, such as the way that the address
list is developed and maintained, using administrative records as a source of data for enumeration, and making field operations
more efficient.
Enterprise Enabling Programs.—The Enterprise Enabling Programs support Census Bureau surveys and censuses with data collection, management, processing,
and dissemination systems and capabilities as well as the geographic data that underpin the Census Bureau's programs. In 2023,
these programs will enhance data collection capabilities; support expanding use of administrative records to improve sample
survey operations, data quality, and data products; provide the Federal government with increased capacity to make data-driven
decisions, deliver all data products for the 2020 Census, American Community Survey, Economic Census, and other major programs,
and expand efforts to provide disclosure protection and modernize data storage and data analysis capabilities across all of
the Census Bureau's programs. Additionally, the Geographic Support program provides the geographic data integral to censuses,
surveys, and data products. These include address lists, geospatial data products and systems, and full-count data on persons,
places, and the economy. The Budget includes an increase to maintain the geographic innovations made possible by the 2020
Census as a suite of evergreen products and services and transitions the Boundary and Annexation Survey and In-Office Address
Canvassing from 2020 Census to provide these capabilities on a continuing basis for all Census Bureau programs. The Budget
also supports expanded research on racial and ethnic inequality and creation of an enterprise partnership program that leverages
2020 Census partnerships and benefits all Census Bureau programs.

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, 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 $500 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 national measures of
gross domestic product (GDP), personal income and outlays, corporate profits, balance of payments, GDP by county, state, and
industry. BEA also publishes sector specific statistics on areas such as healthcare, outdoor recreation and arts and culture.
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.

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.

An amount equal to 30 percent of the gross receipts from customs duties on imported fishery products is transferred to the
Department of Commerce annually from the Department of Agriculture. NOAA transfers a portion of these funds to offset the
appropriations for fisheries research and management in the Operations, Research, and Facilities account. Remaining funds
will support the Saltonstall-Kennedy grants program for fisheries research and development projects to enhance to productivity
and improve the sustainable yield of domestic marine fisheries resouces.

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.
Fisheries Disaster Assistance
For necessary expenses of administering the fishery disaster assistance programs authorized by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (Public Law 94–265) and the Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act (title III of Public Law 99–659),
$300,000, to remain available until September 30, 2023.
Note.—A full-year 2022 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the Budget was prepared; therefore, the

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, the
fishery is eligible for disaster assistance subject to appropriation of funds by Congress.

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.

FISHERIES FINANCE PROGRAM ACCOUNT
Subject to section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, during fiscal year 2023, obligations of direct loans may not
exceed $24,000,000 for Individual Fishing Quota loans and not to exceed $100,000,000 for traditional direct loans as authorized
by the Merchant Marine Act of 1936.
Note.—A full-year 2022 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the Budget was prepared; therefore, the
Budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022 (Division A of Public Law 117–43, as
amended). The amounts included for 2022 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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.

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)
For necessary expenses of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provided for by law, including defense of
suits instituted against the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO, $4,253,404,000,
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 2023, so as to result in a fiscal year 2023
appropriation from the general fund estimated at $0: Provided further, That during fiscal year 2023, should the total amount of such offsetting collections be less than $4,253,404,000, this amount
shall be reduced accordingly: Provided further, That any amount received in excess of $4,253,404,000 in fiscal year 2023 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 the budget of the President submitted for fiscal year 2024 under section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, shall
include within amounts provided under this heading for necessary expenses of the USPTO any increases that are expected to
result from an increase promulgated through rule or regulation in offsetting collections of fees and surcharges assessed and
collected by the USPTO under any law in either fiscal year 2023 or fiscal year 2024: Provided further, That from amounts provided herein, not to exceed $13,500 shall be made available in fiscal year 2023 for official reception
and representation expenses: Provided further, That in fiscal year 2023 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, $2,450,000 shall be transferred to the "Office of Inspector General" account for activities
associated with carrying out investigations and audits related to the USPTO.
Note.—A full-year 2022 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the Budget was prepared; therefore, the
Budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022 (Division A of Public Law 117–43, as
amended). The amounts included for 2022 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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 U.S.C. 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, which is funded by the
Scientific and Technical Research and Services (STRS) appropriation, 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 2023 request includes program increases for measurement
research and services for the following areas: Advanced Communications Research and Standards; Climate and Energy Measurements,
Tools, and Testbeds; Measurements for the Circular Economy; Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Centric Challenges; Quantum Information
Science, Engineering, and Metrology; Strengthening Equity and Diversity in the Standards Workforce; Supporting the American
Bioeconomy, Cybersecurity (Supply Chain, 5G and Beyond, Identify Management); NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) Controls
and Corrective Actions; Public Safety Communications Research Accelerator; Measurement Services Modernization; Standards for
Critical and Emerging Technologies; and iEdison. The 2023 total Budget request for STRS is $975.0 million.

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 request funds existing institutes and funds an additional
two Department of Commerce Manufacturing USA Institutes.
2. Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP): The Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program is a national
network of Federal, State, and Industry partnerships that provide U.S. manufacturers with access to technology, resources,
and industry experts. The MEP consists of Manufacturing Extension Partnership centers located across the coutry that work
directly with their local manufacturing communities to strengthen the competitiveness of the U.S. manufacturing base. Funding
for the MEP centers is a cost-sharing arrangement consisting of support from the federal government, non-federal sources including
state and local government/entities, and fees charged to the manufacturing clients for services provided by the MEP centers.
The request includes program increases and reflects MEP's plan for increased capabilities to be able to assist all growth
oriented small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to respond to critical national needs. The plan is based on adherence
to a comprehensive strategic plan, a focus on operational excellence, system-wide refresh through a formal, multiyear organizational
competition, and progressive growth in funding to serve all innovative manufacturing firms. The 2023 request provides additional
services to an increased number of companies with critical supply chains and workforce development.

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.
The Budget proposes to increase the Public Safety Communications program by $4 million to transition statutory, delegated,
and other key public safety communications activities from mandatory accounts (which expire on September 30, 2022) to annual
appropriations within NTIA's Salaries and Expenses. NTIA is faced with sunsetting resources, but the requirements to perform
these functions remain.
NTIA plays a critical role within the federal government in developing and driving adoption of market-based, risk-based cybersecurity
guidelines to improve the private sectors cyber-security resilience. In support of this, the Budget proposes an increase to
the Domestic and International Policies program by $2 million to build additional program capacity and bolster expertise.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, provided $1 billion to NTIA for the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (TBCP)
and $300 million for the Broadband Infrastructure Program. The TBCP directs funds to Tribal governments to deploy broadband
on Tribal lands, as well as for telehealth, distance learning, broadband affordability, and digital inclusion. The Broadband
Infrastructure Program directs funds to partnerships between a state, or one or more political subdivisions of a state, and
providers of fixed broadband service to support broadband infrastructure deployment to areas lacking broadband, especially
rural areas.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act directs NTIA to award $2 billion in Tribal Broadband Connectivity grants to Tribal
governments for broadband deployment on tribal lands, as well as for telehealth, distance learning, broadband affordability,
and digital inclusion.

For the administration of prior-year grants, recoveries and unobligated balances of funds previously appropriated are available
for the administration of all open grants until their expiration.
Note.—A full-year 2022 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the Budget was prepared; therefore, the
Budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022 (Division A of Public Law 117–43, as
amended). The amounts included for 2022 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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 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.
