                                         Washington, April 5, 2016.
Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the 
enclosed Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Budget amendments for the 
Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Homeland 
Security, State and Other International Programs, and 
Transportation, as well as the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration, the Public Defender Service for the District of 
Columbia, the Surface Transportation Board, and the U.S. 
Holocaust Memorial Museum. Also included is an amendment to a 
general provision included in Title VI of the Financial 
Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2016, that 
would affect the Federal Trade Commission. These amendments are 
necessary to reflect correctly policies assumed in my FY 2017 
Budget. These amendments would increase by $4 million the 
overall discretionary budget authority in my FY 2017 Budget.
    This transmittal also includes FY 2017 Budget amendments 
for the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity and 
tradition, these appropriations requests for the Legislative 
Branch are transmitted without change. These amendments would 
decrease by $25 million the overall discretionary budget 
authority in my FY 2017 Budget.
    Moreover, provided for your consideration are FY 2017 
amendments for the Department of Energy. Included is an 
amendment that would initiate modernization of Strategic 
Petroleum Reserve (SPR) infrastructure, which is at the end of 
its design life, as well as fund SPR marine terminal 
distribution capacity enhancements. Consistent with authorities 
provided in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, these 
initiatives would be funded by the sale of crude oil from the 
Reserve in FY 2017. Also included are two offsetting amendments 
that would provide an increased amount to fund a portion of 
settlement costs related to the February 2014 incidents at the 
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico, including 
the associated 2 activities at Los Alamos National Laboratory. 
The FY 2017 budget authority totals would not be affected by 
these amendments.
    Taken together, the transmitted amendments would decrease 
by $21 million the overall discretionary budget authority in 
the FY 2017 Budget.
    The details of these amendments are set forth in the 
enclosure from the Director of the Office of Management and 
Budget.
            Sincerely,
                                                      Barack Obama.

              [Estimate No. 2, 114th Congress, 2d Session]

                 Executive Office of the President,
                           Office of Management and Budget,
                                     Washington, DC, April 5, 2016.
The President,
The White House.
    Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration are 
amendments to your Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Budget for the 
Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Homeland 
Security, State and Other International Programs, and 
Transportation, as well as the National Aeronautics Space 
Administration, the Public Defender Service for the District of 
Columbia, the Surface Transportation Board, and the U.S. 
Holocaust Memorial Museum. Also included is an amendment to a 
general provision included in Title VI of the Financial 
Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2016, that 
would affect the Federal Trade Commission. These amendments 
would increase by $4 million the overall discretionary budget 
authority in your FY 2017 Budget. The amendments are necessary 
to reflect correctly policies assumed in your FY 2017 Budget.
    Moreover, provided for your consideration are FY 2017 
amendments for the Department of Energy. Included is an 
amendment that would initiate modernization of Strategic 
Petroleum Reserve (SPR) infrastructure, which is at the end of 
its design life, as well as fund SPR marine terminal 
distribution capacity enhancements. Consistent with authorities 
provided in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, these 
initiatives would be funded by the sale of crude oil from the 
Reserve in FY 2017. Also included are two offsetting amendments 
that would provide an increased amount to fund a portion of 
settlement costs related to the February 2014 incidents at the 
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico, including 
the associated activities at Los Alamos National Laboratory. 
The FY 2017 budget authority totals would not be affected by 
these amendments.
    This transmittal also includes FY 2017 Budget amendments 
for the Legislative Branch. As a matter of comity and 
tradition, these appropriations requests for the Legislative 
Branch are transmitted without change. These amendments would 
decrease by $25 million the overall discretionary budget 
authority in your FY 2017 Budget.
    Taken together, the transmitted amendments would decrease 
by $21 million the overall discretionary budget authority in 
your FY 2017 Budget.
Recommendation
    I have reviewed these amendments and I am satisfied that 
they are necessary at this time.
    Therefore, I join the heads of the affected Departments and 
agencies in recommending that you transmit the amendments to 
the Congress.
            Sincerely,
                                             Shaun Donovan,
                                                          Director.

                     TITLE VII--GENERAL PROVISIONS

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 183
FY 2017 Pending Request: --
Proposed Amendment: Language
Revised Request: --

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
sections 727 and 728 in their entirety and renumber the 
subsequent sections accordingly.)
    This amendment would remove appropriations language 
inadvertently included in the FY 2017 Budget that would 
repurpose emergency funds for non-emergency purposes and result 
in an unintended scoring impact. This amendment is necessary to 
reflect correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in the 
newly renumbered section 730 add the following new language 
immediately after ``14(h)(1)(G)'' and just before ``for'':)
    of the Watershed and Flood Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 
1012(h)(1)(A)-(G)) 
    This amendment would provide the full legal citation that 
was inadvertently omitted from the language.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 
these technical language amendments.
                         DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


                     TITLE VIII-GENERAL PROVISIONS

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 320
FY 2017 Pending Request: --
Proposed Amendment: Language
Revised Request: --

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
the text of section 8050 and substitute Of the amounts 
appropriated in this Act for ``Operation and Maintenance 
Navy'', $274,524,000, to remain available until expended, may 
be used for any purposes related to the National Defense 
Reserve Fleet established under section 11 of the Merchant Ship 
Sales Act of 1946 (50 U.S.C. 4405): Provided, That such amounts 
are available for reimbursements to the Ready Reserve Force, 
Maritime Administration account of the United States Department 
of Transportation for programs, projects, activities, and 
expenses related to the National Defense Reserve Fleet.)
    This amendment would revise existing language that provides 
the Department of Defense (DOD) with transfer authority to the 
Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration's Ready 
Reserve Force account for expenses related to the National 
Defense Reserve Fleet. Instead of transfer authority, the 
amendment would make available from DOD's Operation and 
Maintenance, Navy account $275 million for reimbursements to 
the Maritime Administration's Ready Reserve Force account for 
programs, projects, activities, and expenses related to the 
National Defense Reserve Fleet. This amendment is necessary to 
reflect correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 
this technical language amendment.
                        DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


                  Office of Innovation and Improvement


                       INNOVATION AND IMPROVEMENT

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Pages: 359-360
FY 2017 Pending Request: $1,331,556,000
Proposed Amendment: $80,000,000
Revised Request: $1,411,556,000

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
``$1,331,556,000'' and substitute $1,411,556,000; and add the 
following new language immediately after the last proviso and 
just before the period:)
    : Provided further, That $80,000,000 shall be for 
competitive grants to local educational agencies, in 
partnership with one or more institutions of higher education 
and other public or private entities, which may include 
businesses, to promote the whole school redesign of the high 
school experience in order to provide students with challenging 
and relevant academic and career-related learning experiences 
that prepare them for postsecondary education and careers, of 
which one-half of 1 percent shall be reserved for the Secretary 
of the Interior for activities consistent with the purpose of 
this proviso, and of which up to 2.5 percent may be reserved 
for national activities 
    This amendment would increase the Department of Education's 
Innovation and Improvement account by $80 million for the 
proposed Next Generation High Schools program. The proposed 
competitive grants program was erroneously funded in the 
Department's legislative proposal for the Career, Technical and 
Adult Education (CTAE) account, which has been corrected in the 
FY 2017 Budget database by a corresponding decrease. This 
amendment would also provide the authority to create the 
proposed program. This amendment is necessary to reflect 
correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.
    Taken together with the correction for the CTAE account in 
the FY 2017 Budget database, the proposed FY 2017 budget 
authority totals would not be affected by this technical 
amendment.
                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


                National Nuclear Security Administration


                           WEAPONS ACTIVITIES

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 396
FY 2017 Pending Request: $9,285,147,000
Proposed Amendment: Language
Revised Request: $9,285,147,000

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
``$42,000,000'' and substitute $50,400,000.)
    This amendment would increase by $8.4 million the amount 
proposed to be cancelled from available, unobligated prior-year 
balances in the Department of Energy's Weapons Activities 
account. This request would fully offset an increase of $8.4 
million in budget authority for the Department's Defense 
Environmental Cleanup account, as described in an accompanying 
amendment. Taken together, the proposed FY 2017 budget 
authority totals would not be affected by this amendment.
                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


               Environmental and Other Defense Activities


                     DEFENSE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 399
FY 2017 Pending Request: $5,382,050,000
Proposed Amendment: $8,400,000
Revised Request: $5,390,450,000

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
``$5,382,050,000'' and substitute $5,390,450,000.)
    This amendment would increase by $8.4 million the 
appropriations request for the Department of Energy's (DOE), 
Defense Environmental Cleanup account. This proposed increase 
is needed to fund a portion of settlement costs to resolve the 
New Mexico Environment Department claims against DOE related to 
the February 2014 incidents at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant 
(WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico, including the associated 
activities at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The additional 
$8.4 million will allow DOE's Office of Environmental 
Management to pay a total of $26.8 million to the State of New 
Mexico for necessary repairs to its roads needed for 
transportation of DOE shipments of transuranic waste to WIPP.
    The proposed $8.4 million increase would be fully offset by 
a corresponding increase in the amount proposed to be cancelled 
from available, unobligated prior-year balances in the 
Department's Weapons Activities account, as described in an 
accompanying amendment. Taken together, the proposed FY 2017 
budget authority totals would not be affected by this 
amendment.
                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


                            Energy Programs


         ENERGY SECURITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION FUND

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 417
FY 2017 Pending Request: --
Proposed Amendment: $375,400,000
Revised Request: $375,400,000

(Under the above bureau, immediately before the heading 
``Energy Information Administration'' and just after the Bodoni 
dash, insert the above new heading, the following new 
appropriations language, and a new Bodoni dash:)
    As authorized by section 404 of the Bipartisan Budget Act 
of 2015 (Public Law 114-74), the Secretary of the Department of 
Energy shall drawdown and sell not to exceed $375,400,000 of 
crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in fiscal year 
2017: Provided, That the proceeds from such drawdown and sale 
shall be deposited into the Energy Security and Infrastructure 
Modernization Fund during fiscal year 2017 and shall remain 
available until expended for necessary expenses in carrying out 
construction, maintenance, repair, and replacement activities 
of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
    This amendment would allow for the deposit of, and 
appropriate, oil sale proceeds in the Energy Security and 
Infrastructure Modernization Fund, authorized by section 404 of 
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-74). Pursuant 
to section 404(c) of such Act, it would allow for the sale of 
up to $375.4 million worth of Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) 
oil in fiscal year (FY) 2017. It also would make such proceeds 
available to fund SPR modernization activities, including life 
extension of SPR infrastructure and marine terminal 
distribution enhancements. Because the oil sale authority 
provided in section 404 expires in FY 2020, this Budget 
amendment is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient time 
to conduct oil sales, as well as conduct design work and 
procure specialized equipment that requires a long-lead time to 
manufacture.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 
this amendment.
                    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY


                 Departmental Management and Operations


                        ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 517
FY 2017 Pending Request: $265,719,000
Proposed Amendment: Language
Revised Request: $265,719,000

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, add 
the following new language immediately after the second semi-
colon and just before the phrase ``and of which'':)
    of which not to exceed $2,000,000 is available for facility 
needs associated with secure space at fusion centers, including 
improvements to buildings;
    This amendment would add language providing funding related 
to facilities needs for secure space at fusion centers that was 
inadvertently omitted. This language would maintain for FY 2017 
the authority provided in the FY 2016 enacted appropriation for 
the Department's Analysis and Operations account and is 
consistent with the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 
this technical language amendment.
                    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY


                   U.S. Customs and Border Protection


                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 523
FY 2017 Pending Request: $11,333,352,000
Proposed Amendment: -$5,394,000
Revised Request: $11,327,958,000

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
``$11,333,352,000'' and substitute $11,327,958,000.)
    This amendment would correct the appropriations request for 
the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Operations and Support 
account, which is overstated by the inadvertent inclusion of $5 
million of unaccompanied children contingency funding. The FY 
2017 Budget database, however, provides the correct 
appropriations amount. This amendment is necessary to reflect 
accurately the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 
this technical amendment.
                    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY


              National Protection and Programs Directorate


                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 552
FY 2017 Pending Request: $1,152,502,000
Proposed Amendment: -$5,000,000
Revised Request: $1,147,502,000

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
``$1,152,502,000'' and substitute $1,147,502,000.)
    This amendment would decrease by $5 million the 
appropriations request for the Department of Homeland 
Security's National Protection and Programs Directorate 
Operations and Support account, specifically for the following 
programs: Infrastructure Analysis (-$1.902 million); 
Infrastructure Capacity Building (-$1.588 million); and Protect 
Infrastructure (-$1.510 million). This amendment would ensure 
that the overall request is consistent with the FY 2017 defense 
function budget cap after accounting for an error in the FY 
2017 Budget database.
    The proposed FY 2017 budget authority totals would be 
reduced by $5 million as a result of this technical amendment.

Proposed Amendment: Language
Revised Request: --

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in 
section 539, delete ``$300,000,000'' and substitute 
$325,000,000.)
    The amendment to section 539 is necessary to address a 
proposal mistakenly included in a subsequent section (section 
540), which is addressed below. The amendment to section 539 
would increase by $25 million the proposed cancellation of non-
emergency funding in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's 
(FEMA) Disaster Relief Fund.

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in 
section 540, delete ``$73,000,000'' and substitute $95,000,000; 
delete the phrase ``and $47,000,000 appropriated by Public Law 
110-28 are'' and substitute is.)
    The amendment to section 540 would increase by $22 million 
the proposed cancellation of non-emergency funding from Public 
Law 109-88 in FEMA's Disaster Assistance Direct Loan Program 
Account, which would exhaust the balances in that account. In 
addition, the amendment would delete the proposed cancellation 
of $47 million of discretionary balances that are designated as 
emergency and cannot be used to offset non-emergency spending.
    Taken together, the amendments to sections 539 and 540 
would propose a total cancellation of $47 million in order to 
offset the proposed cancellation of $47 million in 
discretionary balances that are designated as emergency, which 
was inadvertently included in the FY 2017 Budget.

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
section 541 in its entirety and renumber the subsequent 
sections accordingly.)
    This amendment would delete section 541, which would allow 
the transfer of balances in FY 2017 from the Office of 
Secretary and Executive Management account to the Office of 
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives 
(OCBRNE). The Department expects to expend during FY 2016 the 
amount that would have been available for transfer to OCBRNE. 
Therefore, the provision is not necessary.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 
these technical language amendments.

Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.)
    This amendment would provide the correct name of the Act 
associated with the referenced section 251(b)(2)(A). This 
amendment is necessary to reflect correctly the policy assumed

    This amendment would remove language to expand the Federal 
Railroad Administration's authority to enter into contracts, 
leases, and other agreements. The proposal would have resulted 
in an unintended scoring impact. This amendment is necessary to 
reflect correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.

section 622(b) delete ``2018'' and substitute 2017.)
    This amendment would correct the calendar date in section 
622(b) from October 1, 2018 to October 1, 2017, so that this 
proposal for the Hart-Scott-Rodino pre-merger filing fees 
collected by the Federal Trade Commission becomes effective in 
fiscal year 2018, as intended in the FY 2017 Budget.

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, in the 
second paragraph delete the opening and closing brackets.)
    This amendment would restore an administrative provision, 
inadvertently marked for deletion that provides transfer 
authority for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
(NASA). This transfer authority was provided to NASA most 
recently in the FY 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act, as 
well as in prior years. This amendment is necessary to reflect 
correctly the policy assumed in the FY 2017 Budget.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 
this technical language amendment.

    This amendment would delete two provisos in the Public

With the January 28, 2016 enactment of the District of Columbia 
Courts, Public Defender Service, and Court Services and 
Offender Supervision Agency Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-118), 
inclusion of these two provisos in the account language is 
unnecessary.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would not be affected by 
this technical language amendment.

FY 2017 Pending Request: $32,000,000 (net)
Proposed Amendment: $9,151,404
Revised Request: $41,151,404 (net)

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 
``$33,250,000'' and substitute $42,401,404 and delete 
``$32,000,000'' and substitute $41,151,404.)
    This amendment would increase by $9 million the Surface 
Transportation Board's (STB) appropriations request in the FY 
2017 Budget. The STB became an independent agency on December 
18, 2015, pursuant to the Surface Transportation Board 
Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-110). As such, it 
is not required to submit a budget request for approval before 
submitting it to the Congress. Pursuant to its new authority, 
STB revised its submission to OMB and formally submitted the 
revised FY 2017 Budget to the Congress and OMB concurrently on 
February 9, 2016. This amendment is necessary to reflect 
correctly the revised amount.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would increase by $9 
million as a result of this technical amendment.

     CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER MEMORIAL COMMISSION

FY 2017 Budget Appendix Page: 41
FY 2017 Pending Request: $68,000,000
Proposed Amendment: -$25,000,000
Revised Request: $43,000,000

(Under the above heading, add the following new language:)
    For necessary expenses of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial 
Commission for design and construction of a memorial in honor 
of Dwight D. Eisenhower, as authorized by Public Law 106-79, 
$43,000,000, to remain available until expended.
    This amendment would add appropriations language requesting 
$43 million for the design and construction of the Dwight D. 
Eisenhower Memorial Commission. This appropriations language 
was inadvertently omitted from the FY 2017 Budget. This 
amendment would also adjust downward the $68 million that was 
erroneously included in the FY 2017 Budget database to reflect 
correctly the Commission's intended appropriations request of 
$43 million for this account.
    The proposed FY 2017 Budget totals would decrease by $25 
million as a result of this technical amendment.
