Regarding H.R. 1105, Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009''.]\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on February 23, 2009, prior to House consideration 
of the bill and as directed by the House of Representatives in section 
2 of H. Res. 92 (as amended by section 2 of H. Res. 108). The Statement 
appears in the February 23 Congressional Record, beginning on page 
H1653.

                               DIVISION A

                     TITLE I--AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMS

                 Production, Processing, and Marketing

                        Office of the Secretary

    The bill provides $5,174,000 for the Office of the 
Secretary.
    The Department is directed to provide within 60 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act all reports and studies 
requested in this statement to the Committees on Appropriations 
of the House of Representatives and the Senate (hereafter 
referred to as ``the Committees'') in both an electronic and 
hard copy format, unless another date is specified for a 
particular report.
    The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (hereafter 
referred to as ``the 2008 farm bill'') authorized many new 
programs, provided mandatory funding for a select number of 
them, and reauthorized existing programs throughout the 
Department of Agriculture. The Department is directed to submit 
a report detailing the Department's implementation plan for the 
2008 farm bill. The report should include timeframes for 
developing new regulations and estimated dates the Department 
expects to finalize the regulations and implement the new or 
revised programs. The Department is also directed to provide to 
the Committees all reports requested in the 2008 farm bill.
    There is concern that agencies are being required, after 
appropriations have been enacted for other purposes, to support 
E-Gov and PART studies. This diminishes, delays, or eliminates 
the implementation of the activities for which funds were 
provided. Thirty days prior to any centrally determined charges 
being applied to any USDA agency that are different from those 
amounts displayed in the budget justification materials, the 
Department must submit to the Committees a detailed explanation 
of the amounts assessed and the method for determining those 
amounts.
    There continues to be strong support in Congress for 
programs that provide emergency food assistance throughout the 
world and that work to achieve sustainable food security. Among 
those programs is the Borlaug Dialogue (and its associated 
functions), which provides a forum for world leadership related 
to international food assistance. The Secretary is encouraged 
to support this activity and to ensure that the Department 
maintains a strong role in the fight against world hunger.

basis for livestock, the factors contributing to a continued 
decline of the basis for crops.
    ERS is conducting a two-year study of the impacts of local 
food systems and commerce that will account for the effects of 
local food systems on economic activity, nutrition, and energy 
and the environment. This study will consider government 
policies to support local food markets and reduce barriers to 
growth of that sector. ERS is encouraged to work in 
collaboration with the Agricultural Marketing Service, Rural 
Business-Cooperative Service, Food and Nutrition Service, and 
other appropriate federal agencies. ERS is also encouraged to 
study federal, state and local food program procurement issues 
as they relate to market development for small and mid-scale 
farms within local and regional food systems.

                National Agricultural Statistics Service

    The bill provides $151,565,000 for the National 
Agricultural Statistics Service.
    The bill provides $2,450,000 to carry out the Fruit

                     Agricultural Research Service

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $1,140,406,000 for the Agricultural 
Research Service (ARS), Salaries and Expenses.
    The rapid spread of the wheat stem rust known as Ug99, from 
East Africa to the Arabian Peninsula and most recently to the 
Middle East, is of great concern. Ug99 is a very virulent 
strain of stem rust and could threaten 80 percent of the 
world's wheat supply if resistant varieties of wheat are not 
developed. The bill provides an increase of $1,500,000 for work 
to develop Ug99 resistant wheat varieties.
    The Committees are concerned by the growing problem of 
viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS). The bill provides an 
increase of $1,000,000 for monitoring, diagnosis, epidemiology, 
treatment and prevention of VHS. ARS is encouraged to work with 
research institutions in the Great Lakes region to ascertain 
the extent to which VHS is present in U.S. waters, develop an 
effective vaccine, and establish the genetic basis for 
resistance to VHS in fish.
    The bill provides increases of $254,000 each for Human 
Nutrition Research, Boston, MA; Chronic diseases of children, 
Houston, TX; West Tennessee Mississippi River Cropping Systems 
Unit, Jackson, TN; ARS Southwest Watershed Research Center, 
Tucson, AZ; and the Northwest Center for Small Fruits, 
Corvallis, OR.
    The bill provides an increase of $1,350,000 for research on 
food allergies and an increase of $800,000 for research on 
colony collapse disorder, to be spent as the agency determines 
appropriate.
    The ARS Cotton Quality Research Unit in Clemson, South 
Carolina, is expected to identify opportunities for increased 
collaboration with the University of Georgia Tifton MicroGin 
that would enhance the integration of research on fiber quality 
from harvest to gin to textile mill and ARS is requested to 
report to the Committees on its findings and needs assessments.
    None of the funds appropriated to ARS for the Advanced 
Animal Vaccine Project at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center 
may be directed for any other use by the Department of Homeland 
Security.
    The fiscal year 2009 budget request proposed to relocate 
the Arthropod-Borne Animal Diseases Research Laboratory 
(ABADRL) from its current location in Laramie, Wyoming. Before 
deciding whether it is appropriate to relocate the lab, ARS is 
directed to provide a report to the Committees describing the 
current status of the laboratory's facilities and research. 
Additionally, the agency shall assess no fewer than two 
locations that could serve as the new location of ABADRL. When 
selecting the locations to assess, ARS should consider the 
facilities, capacity, expertise, and synergies relevant to 
fulfilling and expediting the ABADRL mission that are offered 
by each potential location. The report should include a 
comparative cost analysis.
    Funds made available for the Center for Agroforestry should 
be used to continue research into all five temperate-zone 
agroforestry practices applicable in Midwestern states.
    The National Animal Disease Center (NADC) is an important 
component in the nation's animal disease research 
infrastructure, but it is in need of office, laboratory, and 
information technology equipment and designated animal space. 
The Department is encouraged to begin providing these items out 
of the funds made available in this bill. If they are not, a 
request for the remaining funds should be submitted by the 
Department for fiscal year 2010.
    ARS is directed to submit a report to the Committees by May 
1, 2009, that analyzes the feasibility, requirements, and cost 
for conducting water quality and quantity research at Arkansas 
State University.
    The need to investigate diet-related health problems, 
including obesity and its associated illnesses, is recognized. 
With the continued support in this bill for the Grand Forks 
Human Nutrition Research Center, the Center is directed to 
continue development of programs to address obesity and diet-
related health issues in rural and Native American communities, 
the study of minerals and other nutrients in widely consumed 
foods contributing to healthy diets, and the role of nutrition 
in the prevention of chronic diseases.
    The Metabolic Diet Unit at the Human Nutrition Research 
Center on Aging at Tufts University is in need of upgrades and 
ARS is encouraged to initiate such improvements from within 
available funds.

    Funds provided for APHIS in this bill accept all transfers 
of funds proposed in the budget request. These transfers 
include the following: $4,634,000 from ``Foreign Animal 
Disease/FMD'' and $10,936,000 from ``Trade Issues Resolution 
and Management'' into ``Overseas Technical and Trade 
Operations''; $1,481,000 from ``Trade Issues Resolution and 
Management'' into ``Import/Export''; $51,047,000 from ``Highly

into ``Emergency Management Systems''; and $3,722,000 from 
``Emergency Management Systems'' into ``National Veterinary 
Stockpile''.
    APHIS is drafting a final rule that would allow the agency 
to approve, after pest risk analysis, certain new fruits and 
vegetables for interstate movement, subject to meeting one or 
any combination of five specific designated measures. APHIS is 
encouraged to consider allowing shipment of untreated fruits 
and vegetables grown in Hawaii to cold-weather states during 
winter months if Hawaii has specific measures in place to meet 
the standards set in the final rule and can reasonably ensure 
that potential transshipment of such produce will not 
jeopardize the phytosanitary standards of warm weather states.
    The bill includes $9,907,000 for Cattle Fever Ticks, 
including an increase of $2,074,000 to initiate the five-year 
strategic plan to assist in moving the Cattle Fever Tick 
quarantine zone south of the U.S. border.
    The bill includes $62,320,000 for Fruit Fly Exclusion and 
Detection, including an increase of $1,000,000 to enhance the 
Guatemala-Mexico Medfly barrier.
    The bill includes $129,180,000 for Animal Health Monitoring 
and Surveillance, including $14,500,000, an increase of 
$4,713,000, for the National Animal Identification System 
(NAIS). Given this investment, coupled with the almost 
$128,000,000 that Congress has already provided for NAIS, APHIS 
is expected to make demonstrable progress with effectively 
implementing the animal identification system. Accordingly, 
APHIS is directed to meet the following species traceability 
objectives that are derived from the agency's final 2008 animal 
disease traceability business plan:
    --Cattle: By March 1, 2009, identify 30 percent of the 
nation's cattle population to premises of origin within 48 
hours of a disease event.
    --Goats: By October 1, 2009, identify 90 percent of goat 
breeding herds to their birth premises within 48 hours of a 
disease event.
    --Poultry: By July 1, 2009, achieve 98 percent traceability 
in the commercial poultry industry through the identification 
of commercial production units in the required radius within 48 
hours of a disease event.
    --Sheep: By October 1, 2009, identify 90 percent of sheep 
breeding flock to their birth premises within 48 hours of a 
disease event.
    --Swine: By February 1, 2009, achieve 80 percent 
traceability in the commercial swine industries through the 
identification of commercial production units in the required 
radius within 48 hours of a disease event.
    In addition, APHIS is directed to meet the following 
program administration milestones that are similarly derived 
from the final 2008 animal disease traceability business plan:
    --By February 1, 2009: Publish proposed rulemaking to 
consider establishing the seven-character PIN as the national 
location identifier standard and establish the ``840'' Animal 
Identification Number as the single version for the numbering 
system.
    --By February 1, 2009: Incorporate the NAIS-compliant 
premises identification number format into existing Federal 
disease program activities.
    --By May 1, 2009: Publish proposed rulemaking to consider 
using a premises identification number, in the NAIS-compliant 
format, for import/export facilities, the destination of 
imported livestock and the location of exported animals prior 
to the assembly.
    There is concern that APHIS removed a key outcome milestone 
from its final animal disease traceability business plan that 
assessed the agency's progress on integrating tracking 
databases maintained by States and private organizations. APHIS 
is directed to submit a report to the Committees that explains 
why the agency dropped this important milestone from its final 
business plan. APHIS is further directed to provide an update 
on its current progress with fully integrating the Animal Trace 
Processing System with non-Federal tracking databases.
    APHIS is directed to submit a report to the Committees 
within one week after each of the milestone dates outlining the 
status of each species traceability objective and program 
administration milestone and the reason the deadline was not 
met.
    The bill includes $13,694,000 for Animal and Plant Health

apple moth; $1,500,000 for Sirex woodwasp; $2,092,000 for 
miscellaneous pests; and $469,000 for varroa mite suppression.
    APHIS is directed to work with the City of Chicago to 
manage the infestation of emerald ash borer and provide 
appropriate resources.
    APHIS is encouraged to use the funding provided for sudden 
oak death to address immediate needs in the recognized 
containment and control areas, to promote the research, 
development, and testing of new systems of nursery pest and 
disease management, and for programs of inspection and 
regulation.
    This bill includes $1,001,000 for the light brown apple 
moth (LBAM) program. In fiscal years 2007 and 2008, 
approximately $90,000,000 in Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) 
funds and $993,000 in appropriated funds had been made 
available for LBAM. Of this amount, $43,800,000 in CCC funding, 
as well as the $993,000 in appropriated funding, remain 
available in fiscal year 2009 to continue APHIS's efforts. The 
Secretary is encouraged to utilize all funds necessary from CCC 
to carry out the recommendation of the USDA science advisory 
panel to eradicate LBAM in California.

Utah for eradication and control of black grass bug in Utah.
    A portion of the funding provided for the oral rabies 
vaccination funding should be made available for activities in 
the Appalachian region.
    Due to a new occurrence of bovine tuberculosis in New 
Mexico, the Secretary is encouraged to use authorities and 
resources of the Department to provide testing, monitoring, 
surveillance, and other services as needed toward the control 
and eradication of this disease, and for the prompt restoration 
of split-state status for New Mexico.
    APHIS is expected to make the fiscal year 2009 funding for 
beaver control in Mississippi available to all counties in the 
state.
    Sericea lespedeza is an important field crop in the 
southeastern United States. Sericea lespedeza also poses 
environmental challenges to ecosystems in tall grass prairie 
lands in the Great Plains region. APHIS is encouraged to 
collaborate with conservation programs in the Great Plains 
region where sericea lespedeza is an invasive species to find 
economically and ecologically appropriate approaches.
    The bill includes $12,877,000 for Biotechnology Regulatory 
Services, including an increase of $1,000,000 for the 
Biotechnology Quality Management System.
    APHIS is currently evaluating a theobromine and caffeine 
mixture as a possible tool for predation management. APHIS is

studies, and take the appropriate steps to register these 
compounds with the Environmental Protection Agency.
    The bill includes $5,725,000 for Physical/Operational 
Security, including an increase of $1,564,000 to increase 
security at critical facilities.
    The following is a list of Congressionally-designated 
projects:

[GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]


                        BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

    The bill provides $4,712,000 for Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service, Buildings and Facilities.

                     Agricultural Marketing Service

                           MARKETING SERVICES

    The bill provides $86,711,000 for the Agricultural 
Marketing Service (AMS), Marketing Services.
    The bill provides an increase of $9,600,000 to the agency's 
Marketing Services program in order to implement and enforce 
labeling requirements for all covered commodities under the 
country of origin labeling (COOL) law.
    After the release of the interim final rule for COOL in 
September 2008, concerns were raised about USDA's 
interpretation of congressional intent regarding the labeling 
of packaged meat of domestic and foreign origin. As USDA 
publishes a final rule and begins enforcement in April 2009, 
the Department is directed to effectively enforce the food 
labeling law.
    The bill includes $3,867,000 for the National Organic 
Program. USDA is implementing draft revisions to the National 
Organic Program resulting from the American National Standards 
Institute 2004 audit and USDA Office of Inspector General 2005 
audit. AMS is directed to report to the Committees on the 
status of these revisions. It is appreciated that the 
Department has moved forward with the long-overdue proposed 
rule on access to pasture, and the Department is strongly 
encouraged to thoroughly review public comments on the subject.
    The bill provides $4,766,000 to continue the 
Microbiological Data Program (MDP). In its 2009 budget request, 
the Administration criticized MDP for not providing 
epidemiologically valuable data to support risk assessments 
because the survey was ``blinded'' and did not collect 
necessary information. However, AMS's January 2008 report to 
the Committees stated that if the program could begin 
collecting specific information to trace the origin of samples, 
the resulting survey data would be more useful to the Food and 
Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention. The agency's letter also noted that recent food 
borne illness outbreaks demonstrate that a lack of information 
undermines consumer confidence and causes considerable economic 
impact to the agricultural industry. In order to provide more 
valuable information and improve the program's public health 
effectiveness, AMS is directed to begin collecting origin of 
sample data.
    AMS is encouraged to provide appropriate technical and 
financial assistance to the Windy City Harvest Initiative and 
to the Iowa Buy Fresh/Buy Local Program.

                 LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

    The bill includes a limitation of $62,888,000 for 
Limitation on Administrative Expenses.

    FUNDS FOR STRENGTHENING MARKETS, INCOME, AND SUPPLY (SECTION 32)

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $17,270,000 for Funds for Strengthening 
Markets, Income, and Supply.
    In addition, the bill provides $10,000,000 for the Web-
based Supply Chain Management system.

                   PAYMENTS TO STATES AND POSSESSIONS

    The bill provides $1,334,000 for Payments to States and 
Possessions.

        Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $40,342,000 for the Grain Inspection, 
Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), Salaries and 
Expenses.
    The bill provides an increase of $1,160,000 for the Packers 
and Stockyards program to support GIPSA's reorganization effort 
and to strengthen the agency's enforcement activities. GIPSA is 
directed to use the additional resources to enhance its 
compliance reviews and investigations capabilities, as well as 
to support an increase in the agency's auditing of the largest 
meat packers.
    GIPSA must submit a report that provides details for the 
how the agency will deploy its resources for Packers and 
Stockyards Act enforcement. The report should include a 
description of the goals for addressing violations of the Act 
and packer audits, as well as key measures that the agency will 
use to track whether the additional funding is providing a 
measurable improvement in performance.

        LIMITATION ON INSPECTION AND WEIGHING SERVICES EXPENSES

    The bill includes a limitation of $42,463,000 for 
Limitation on Inspection and Weighing Services Expenses.

             Office of the Under Secretary for Food Safety

    The bill provides $613,000 for the Office of the Under 
Secretary for Food Safety.

                   Food Safety and Inspection Service

    The bill provides $971,566,000 for the Food Safety and 
Inspection Service (FSIS).
    The bill provides the full increase requested in the budget 
and the full estimated costs for fiscal year 2009 for 
implementation of the new interstate shipment and catfish 
inspection provisions in sections 11015 and 11016, 
respectively, of the 2008 farm bill. In addition, the bill 
provides an increase of $2,000,000 for strengthened enforcement 
of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act.
    The Department is commended for the announcement that it 
intends to move forward with closing the loophole in the 
current rule governing non-ambulatory cattle and is strongly 
urged to expedite the rules process and close this loophole 
immediately.
    The Department is currently reviewing several proposals to 
increase maximum line speeds at chicken slaughter facilities. 
FSIS is directed to make any analysis conducted by the agency 
on increasing maximum line speeds, and the effects such changes 
might have on food and employee safety, available to the 
Committees within 30 days.
    There remain very serious concerns about contaminated foods 
from China and therefore the bill retains language prohibiting 
FSIS from using funds to move forward with rules that would 
allow for the importation of poultry products from China into 
the U.S. It is noted that China has enacted revisions to its 
food safety laws. USDA is urged to submit a report to the 
Committees on the implications of those changes on the safety 
of imported poultry products from China within one year. The 
Department is also directed to submit a plan of action to the 
Committees to guarantee the safety of poultry products from 
China. Such plan should include the systematic audit of 
inspection systems, and audits of all poultry and slaughter 
facilities that China would certify to export to the U.S. The 
plan also should include the systematic audit of laboratories 
and other control operations, expanded port-of-entry 
inspection, and creation of an information sharing program with 
other major countries importing poultry products from China 
that have conducted audits and plant inspections among other 
actions. This plan should be made public on the Food Safety and 
Inspection Service web site upon its completion.

                                TITLE II


                         CONSERVATION PROGRAMS


  Office of the Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment

    The bill provides $758,000 for the Office of the Under 
Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment.

                 Natural Resources Conservation Service


                        CONSERVATION OPERATIONS

    The bill provides $853,400,000 for Conservation Operations.
    There is significant concern in the wake of the Natural 
Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) first stand-alone 
financial audit. The November 2008 audit presented a 
``disclaimer of opinion'' on NRCS's consolidated financial 
statements for fiscal year 2008, which means that NRCS was not 
able to provide the necessary information that the auditors 
needed to be able to express an opinion about the state of the 
agency's accounts. In the spectrum of possible findings, a 
disclaimer of opinion is potentially the weakest outcome 
because an agency has been found to be unable to adequately 
account for its financial transactions and program activities. 
The auditors uncovered five material weaknesses and several 
other deficiencies in the agency's financial management 
controls. This result, coupled with hundreds of millions of 
dollars in funds for contracts and conservation projects that 
the agency has had to cancel over the past two fiscal years, 
raises significant questions about not only NRCS's financial 
management systems, but also its program management and 
delivery capabilities.
    Because NRCS is responsible for disbursing billions of 
dollars on an annual basis, ensuring the financial integrity of 
the agency's management systems is critical. The process of 
reviewing its books and accounting for various financial 
controls is valuable; NRCS may ultimately improve program 
delivery and performance as it rethinks how it manages its 
money.
    Accordingly, NRCS must submit a report to the Committees 
that details how the agency is responding to the 2008 audit 
findings so that it does not receive a second disclaimer of 
opinion in its fiscal year 2009 audit. The report should detail 
a recovery plan, with milestones, for how NRCS will address all 
of the deficiencies identified in the 2008 audit. Finally, the 
report should detail a plan to improve its program delivery to 
ensure that all funds that Congress provides for conservation 
are used in a timely, accurate, and cost-effective manner.
    Furthermore, the bill provides $10,000,000 in Conservation 
Technical Assistance to strengthen the agency's program and 
financial management capabilities. NRCS is expected to 
appropriately use these additional funds to enhance the 
agency's budgeting, accounting, contracting, and information 
technology systems, as well as program delivery oversight and 
accountability. NRCS must submit an expenditure plan to the 
Committees within 60 days of enactment of this Act for how the 
agency will use the additional funds with an explanation for 
how the expenditures will strengthen the agency's performance.
    The 2008 farm bill made substantive changes to the design 
and intended performance of the Conservation Stewardship 
Program (CSP). There is concern, however, that the redesigned 
program may place greater program delivery burdens on NRCS's 
field staff and overlay additional complex requirements on top 
of other conservation priorities.
    As NRCS prepares the design and delivery of the 
reauthorized program, the agency is directed to submit an 
assessment of the former program's performance to the 
Committees. The report should describe progress made in 
estimating CSP's environmental performance and detail the 
program's environmental outcomes. The report should compare the 
cost effectiveness of CSP relative to other NRCS implemented 
programs, including Conservation Technical Assistance and other 
programs authorized by the farm bill. Finally, the report 
should detail how the new program that the Administration will 
implement will improve upon the cost efficiency and 
environmental performance of its predecessor.
    It is understood that the President's budget maintains the 
activities of the National Water Management Center in Little 
Rock, Arkansas, from within the funds provided in the 
Conservation Operations account.
    Funding for fiscal year 2008 projects is not continued in 
fiscal year 2009 unless specifically mentioned in the following 
table. The following funds are directed to be used in 
cooperative agreements continued with the same cooperator 
entities as in the fiscal year 2008 agreements, except as 
noted.
    The following is a list of Congressionally-designated 
projects:

Account.
    The bill provides for an estimated loan program level of 
$21,678,000; $9,135,000 for loan subsidies; and $9,134,000 for 
grants.
    Section 516 (j) of the Housing Act of 1949 directs the 
Secretary to use up to 10 percent of the amounts available in 
any fiscal year to provide financial assistance to encourage 
the development of farm labor housing projects. USDA has used 
this authority only on an intermittent basis. For this reason, 
the Department is directed that 10 percent of section 516 grant 
funds be allocated by the Rural Housing Service for technical 
assistance for farm labor housing. The Department is directed 
to provide a report to the Committees detailing the amount made 
available for technical assistance in fiscal years 2008 and 
2009.
    Since the inception of the farm labor housing program, the 
Department has financed almost 36,000 units for over 
$1,200,000,000. Yet, the Department has little information on 
the physical or financial status of the projects. An assessment 
of these units would provide information on the physical 
condition of projects, their financial status, occupancy issues 
and other management and compliance issues confronting 
management of developments financed under the farm labor 
housing program. The Government Accountability Office is 
directed to conduct an assessment of the properties financed 
under the farm labor housing program.

$33,536,000 with a subsidy of $14,035,000 for the Rural 
Development Loan Fund.
    The bill provides for a transfer of $4,853,000 to the Rural 
Development Salaries and Expenses account.

            RURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides an estimated loan program level of 
$33,077,000 for the Rural Economic Development Loans program.

    The bill provides $12,636,000 for Rural Cooperative 
Development Grants.
    The bill provides $4,424,000 for cooperative development 
grants; $2,582,000 for a cooperative agreement for the 
Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas program; 
$1,463,000 for cooperatives or associations of cooperatives 
whose primary focus is to provide assistance to small, socially 
disadvantaged producers; $300,000 for a cooperative research 
agreement with a qualified academic institution; and $3,867,000 
for the value-added agricultural product market development 
grant program. The 2008 farm bill also provided $15,000,000 in 
mandatory funding for the value-added agricultural product 
market development grant program in fiscal year 2009, providing 
a total of $18,867,000 for the grant program.

             RURAL WATER AND WASTE DISPOSAL PROGRAM ACCOUNT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $556,268,000 for the Rural Water and 
Waste Disposal Program Account.
    The 2008 farm bill mandates the procedure the Department 
will use to determine poverty and intermediate borrower 
interest rates for direct Water and Waste Disposal Facility 
loans. Borrowers in this program will be required to rely more 
heavily on debt and less on grants.
    Under these provisions, there is a concern that needed 
program resources will not be delivered to the poorest, most 
remote communities currently served. The bill provides the same 
level of budget authority as in 2008 and the Secretary is 
expected to deliver at least the same total program level to 
communities with similar socio-economic and geographic 
characteristics as would have been served in 2008 absent this 
change. The Secretary shall provide a report to the Committees 
detailing how the Secretary plans to implement these 
directives. This report should include quantitative measures 
proposed to determine the socio-economic and geographic 
characteristics of communities served. The report should also 
identify benchmarks to evaluate if in fact communities of 
similar characteristics are being served. By November 1, 2009, 
the Secretary shall provide a comprehensive analysis and report 
to the Committees, utilizing these measures and benchmarks, to 
determine the results of this change in law. The Secretary is 
further directed to submit quarterly reports to the Committees 
on the distribution of funds between loans and grants, 
beginning one month after enactment of this Act.
    With reference to water and waste disposal systems grants 
for Native Americans, including Native Alaskans and the 
Colonias, the Secretary is directed to provide a report to the 
Committees that identifies the specific areas in which water 
and waste disposal program resources have been provided, where 
additional resources are most needed, the 2009 distribution of 
resources, and the relative costs of program delivery to the 
various areas and regions covered by the authorities identified 
for use of these specific funds.
    The Department is expected to continue to provide support 
for the National Drinking Water Clearinghouse through the water 
and waste technical assistance and training grant program.

   RURAL ELECTRIFICATION AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Office of the Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services

    The bill provides $610,000 for the Office of the Under 
Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services.
    There continues to be concern about privatization of the 
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Indiana and the 
Secretary is directed to continue comprehensive oversight of 
this effort. The Secretary is further directed to continue 
providing the Committees with quarterly reports on this 
contract, including the effects on enrollment, program access, 
error rates, and spending on administrative expenses. The 
quarterly reports should also include the monthly Indiana 
Program Operations Data reports required by USDA as well as the 
Department's analysis of these reports. The Secretary is 
directed to delay further expansion of the project if the 
state's program does not meet basic program integrity and 
access standards or if performance standards as stated in the 
contract are not met.
    Section 4307 of the 2008 farm bill requires the Secretary 
to carry out a nationally representative survey of the foods 
purchased during the most recent school year for which data is 
available by school authorities participating in the school 
lunch program. The Secretary is directed to provide to the 
Committees additional information that studies the differences 
between foods purchased for the school lunch program by school 
food authorities that directly manage the school lunch program 
and those contracted out to food service management companies.
    The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is directed to provide 
a report to the Committees evaluating the impact that nutrition 
education is having on preventing obesity and improving the 
likelihood that eligible low-income people will make healthy 
food choices within a limited budget. The report shall include 
which programs this nutrition education is funded through, how 
much was provided in fiscal years 2007 and 2008 for each 
program, and a description of all guidance materials and policy 
documents that were developed with this funding in fiscal years 
2007 and 2008.
    The Department is directed to provide the Committees with a 
report on federal activity related to metropolitan areas 
regarding links between the nutrition programs and small and 
local agricultural producers.

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN 
                                 (WIC)

    The bill provides $6,860,000,000 for the Special 
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children 
(WIC). The bill includes $14,850,000 for continuation of the 
breastfeeding peer counselor program.
    The amount provided in the bill takes into account several 
changes from the budget request.
    First, both food cost and participation estimates have 
increased significantly since the budget request was submitted 
in February. USDA's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for 
Women, Infants and Children December 2008 Report to Congress 
assumes WIC participation will be nearly 9.1 million per month, 
as opposed to 8.6 million assumed in the President's budget 
request. It further assumes that monthly food costs will be 
$44.94, as opposed to $43.55 included in the President's budget 
request. These new assumptions result in a budget shortfall of 
$455,000,000, according to the December report.
    Second, the bill again does not include a limitation on 
State nutrition services and administration (NSA) grants as 
proposed in the budget and assumed in the December report. The 
budget request included a reduction of $150,000,000 associated 
with this limitation, although there is concern that the 
estimate is insufficient. Therefore, the bill provides 
$180,000,000 to ensure NSA grants are fully funded. Reducing 
support for critical WIC services including nutrition 
education, obesity prevention, breastfeeding promotion and 
support, healthcare referrals, and immunization screening is 
not a wise or acceptable method of achieving budget savings.
    Third, although the budget request states that the funding 
request for WIC includes $150,000,000 to restore the 
contingency fund, this is a disingenuous statement. The budget 
request assumes the use of the entire contingency fund to 
maintain WIC participation. No funding is requested in the 
President's budget that would be available for unforeseen 
events, which is the purpose of a contingency fund. Therefore, 
the WIC funding level is currently estimated to be sufficient 
to meet program needs, and includes an additional $125,000,000 
to restore the contingency fund.
    Food cost and participation estimates continue to change, 
and USDA is continuing to monitor estimates and provide monthly 
updates. This situation will be monitored and additional action 
will be taken as necessary to ensure that funding provided in 
fiscal year 2009 is sufficient to serve all eligible 
applicants.
    The Department is directed to continue providing monthly 
reports to the Committees on the program performance and 
estimated funding requirements to fully fund the WIC program.

               SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

    The bill provides $53,969,246,000 for the supplemental 
nutrition assistance program. Included in this amount is a 
reserve of $3,000,000,000, to remain available until September 
30, 2010.
    The bill includes $48,843,897,000 for program expenses, 
$1,760,435,000 for grants to Puerto Rico, $114,914,000 for the 
Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, and 
$250,000,000 for commodity purchase for the Emergency Food 
Assistance Program.
    Included in the recommended level for other program costs 
are $500,000 to increase assistance for USDA's Center for 
Nutrition Policy and Promotion in the development and 
maintenance of MyPyramid and Dietary Guidelines materials in 
support of nutrition education for the eligible population; an 
increase of $3,000,000 for payment accuracy and cooperative 
services, retailer integrity and trafficking, and computer 
support; and an increase of $500,000 for program evaluation and 
modernization.
    Many low-income communities in urban centers, rural areas, 
and Tribal communities have the highest rates of diet-related 
diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. These communities also 
have poor access to healthy, affordable, and fresh foods in 
retail grocery stores, which can limit the real healthy food 
choices available to their families and children. The 
Department is encouraged to lead an interagency review of 
factors contributing to a lack of access to healthy foods and 
recommend ways to address these issues through existing 
government programs as well as private sector solutions. The 
Department is directed to study the issue of food desserts in 
low-income communities and issue a report to the Committees no 
later than eighteen months from the date of enactment of this 
Act.
    FNS is directed to provide a report to the Committees on 
the feasibility of installing electronic benefit transfer 
machines at all of the district or county farmers markets 
across the country.
    The Secretary is encouraged to continue the purchase of 
bison from producer-owned and Native American owned 
cooperatives for the Food Distribution Program on Indian 
Reservations. Although funding is not provided specifically for 
bison purchase, historically these purchases have been 
important for the Native American population both economically 
and nutritionally.

                      COMMODITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

    The bill provides $230,800,000 for the Commodity Assistance 
Program.
    Of that amount, the bill provides $160,430,000 for the 
Commodity Supplemental Food Program. It is expected that with 
this funding level, 2008 participation will be maintained.
    The bill provides $49,500,000 for administrative funding 
for the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). In addition, 
the bill grants the Secretary authority to transfer up to an 
additional 10 percent from TEFAP commodities for this purpose.
    The bill provides $19,800,000 for the Farmers' Market 
Nutrition Program and the Secretary is directed to obligate 
these funds within 45 days.

                   NUTRITION PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION

    The bill provides $142,595,000 for Nutrition Programs 
Administration.
    FNS awarded a contract to the National Academy of Sciences' 
Institute of Medicine (IOM) for review of National School Lunch 
Program and School Breakfast Program meal patterns in February 
2008. In September 2008, the contract was modified to also 
include an examination of meal patterns in the Child and Adult 
Care Food Program (CACFP). A Phase I report outlining an 
approach to the analysis for school lunch and school breakfast 
was released in December 2008, and a set of recommendations for 
lunch and breakfast in a Phase II report is scheduled for 
publication in October 2009. The IOM Committee will then focus 
on meal patterns for the CACFP, with recommendations scheduled 
for publication in October 2010. FNS is directed to provide 
periodic updates as appropriate to the Committees.
    FNS is directed to make all policy documents related to the 
WIC program (including, but not limited to, instructions, 
memoranda, guidance, and questions and answers) available to 
the public on the internet within one week of their release to 
state WIC administrators.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $165,436,000 for the Foreign Agricultural 
Service (FAS), Salaries and Expenses.
    The OIG highlighted in its 2007 Management Challenges 
report that one of USDA's top challenges is to develop a 
``proactive, integrated strategy to assist agricultural 
producers to meet global trade challenges.'' In light of this 
major management hurdle, concerns exist about a number of OIG's 
recent findings regarding FAS's market development programs.
    In 2007, OIG reviewed the extent to which FAS's market 
development programs help to expand trading opportunities for 
U.S. agricultural products. In addition, the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) also reviewed FAS's market 
development programs in 2005. The two offices expressed concern 
that the programs could not provide assurance that they were 
effective or served a clear need. The offices also stated that 
the programs subsidized entities that may not need government 
funding and that the programs may not even provide useful 
information to U.S. exporting companies.
    The government's investments in market development and 
trade promotion activities should be cost effective and achieve 
measurable outcomes. Accordingly, FAS is directed to submit to 
the Committees a report that details how the agency has 
addressed OIG's recommendations and implemented management 
reforms; the results that newly instituted management reforms 
have had on program performance and accountability; and how FAS 
oversees the performance of grants and contracts funded through 
its market development programs, including the Market Access 
Program.
    Funding is provided to continue the Cochran Fellows program 
at historical levels.
    The bill provides $1,000,000 for the Borlaug International 
Agricultural Science and Technology Fellows Program.

     Public Law 480 Title I and Title II Program and Grant Accounts


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Title II--Commodities for disposition abroad:
    Program level.......................................($1,225,900,000)
    Appropriation.......................................   1,225,900,000

    The 2008 farm bill contained a provision mandating that a 
minimum level of Public Law 480 Title II resources be used for 
non-emergency assistance ($375,000,000 in fiscal year 2009), 
thereby creating a ``safe-box'' for non-emergency funds. FAS is 
directed to immediately notify the Committees once a 
determination is made that the need for emergency assistance 
will exceed the amount available.
    The Secretary, in consultation with the Administrator of 
the U.S. Agency for International Development, is directed to 
submit quarterly reports to the Committees on the status of the 
Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust, as well as notify the 
Committees when the Trust has been drawn down.

       Commodity Credit Corporation Export Loans Program Account


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $5,333,000 for the Commodity Credit

    The Food and Drug Administration has received significant 
increases in appropriated funds over the past several years. 
Specifically, the agency received an increase of $145,093,000, 
or nine percent, in the fiscal year 2008 appropriations act. An 
additional $150,000,000 in supplemental funding was provided to 
the agency during fiscal year 2008. This bill provides an 
increase of $324,672,000, or 19 percent, above the fiscal year 
2008 funding level.
    It is expected that these substantial funding increases 
will lead to significant improvements in food and medical 
product safety. FDA should also build on these improvements by 
taking broader approaches to addressing safety issues. In the 
foods area, for example, FDA might focus on the identification 
of the most significant food safety hazards, prioritized by 
risk and the ability to reduce such risks, and develop a plan 
with findings, resources and tools to address those specific 
risks. Further, FDA could do a compliance audit for a whole 
category of foods with significant safety issues, providing the 
agency with a much more complete understanding of their risks 
and what needs to be done to address them. This approach could 
have helped FDA in the investigation into the Salmonella 
outbreak during the summer of 2008, which originally focused on 
tomatoes before additional evidence suggested that peppers may 
have been the source of the contamination. This audit approach 
also could be taken in other product areas, especially with 
regard to foreign drug facilities.
    To ensure that FDA efficiently applies this funding 
increase to its most pressing needs, FDA is directed to provide 
an expenditure report to the Committees no later than 15 days 
after the end of each fiscal year quarter following the date of 
enactment of this Act. This report shall include specific 
information for:
    --The number of new hires and their estimated costs;
    --The number of inspections and their estimated costs; and
    --Information technology acquisition and development 
spending.
    All cost estimates and spending in the quarterly reports 
must be shown on a center/field basis.
    To provide a basis of comparison for the new activities in 
these reports, FDA is directed to include information on base 
funding, FTEs, inspections, and any other applicable base 
activity levels for each activity that has received increased 
funding. Finally, the reports must include up-to-date dollar 
obligation data for each enhanced activity.
    The bill provides an increase of $54,531,000 for cost of 
living adjustments instead of $25,000,000 as requested in the 
budget. The amount provided reflects the full estimated cost 
associated with maintaining FDA's current staff levels in light 
of the hiring surge undertaken by the agency in fiscal year 
2008. The bill provides an increase of $3,739,000 for rental 
payments to the General Services Administration.
    The bill includes an increase of $141,526,000 for 
activities related to food safety. An increase of more than 
$55,000,000 for food safety was provided in fiscal year 2008, 
and FDA received an additional $72,000,000 in supplemental 
funds during fiscal year 2008 for food safety related 
activities. It is expected that this funding will result in 
increased safety measures for both domestic and imported food 
from production to consumption.
    Specifically, these funding increases will, at a minimum, 
provide FDA with the capability to:
    --Significantly increase the number of domestic and 
foreign, risk-based, food production and/or processing facility 
inspections (and other high-risk products), significantly 
increase the number of import food field exams, and achieve 
greater laboratory capacity to support increases in risk-based 
inspections and sampling of domestic and imported foods;
    --Develop and deploy risk-based screening technologies that 
will allow FDA to target high-risk products at the border;
    --Identify, develop and deploy new screening tools and 
methods to identify pathogens and other contaminants, including 
more rapid screening tools to be used by field investigators 
and analysts;
    --Establish an early warning surveillance and notification 
system to identify adulteration of the pet food supply and 
outbreaks of illnesses associated with pet food;
    -- Enhance FDA's national food emergency system, allowing 
FDA to develop a risk communication strategy that would result 
in more rapid responses and reductions in the risk of consumer 
contamination when food contamination occurs;
    --Expand its presence in foreign countries. FDA recently 
opened its first foreign office in China. With this increase, 
FDA will be able to establish FDA offices in other foreign 
locations, as appropriate. These offices are intended to 
enhance the ability of FDA inspectors to enter foreign food 
facilities and to gain a greater understanding of manufacturing 
processes overseas, resulting in more rapid identification of 
and response to any potential food safety issues. The FDA also 
will be able to assess the ability of foreign government 
systems to manage food safety risks;
    --Enhance FDA's traceability capabilities for more rapid 
and precise product tracking, which will allow FDA to contain 
contaminated product and to provide consumers more specific 
information when problems occur;
    --Improve risk communications to the public during food-
related events and make it easier to receive adverse events 
reports, including creating a reportable food registry;
    --Identify additional data and information needed to 
increase understanding of food protection risk and 
vulnerabilities by improving the quality of foodborne illness 
attribution data; and
    --Support partnerships with state and local partners 
through information technology, training and data sharing.
    The bill provides an increase of $1,000,000 for the Office 
of Cosmetics and Colors.
    The bill provides an increase of $114,211,000 for medical 
product safety. An increase of more than $21,000,000 for 
medical product safety was provided in fiscal year 2008, and 
FDA received an additional $58,000,000 in supplemental funds 
during fiscal year 2008 for medical product safety. As noted 
above, it is expected that this funding will result in safer 
drugs, devices, and biologic products for consumers. Similar to 
a recent approach FDA has taken to address overall food safety 
issues, FDA is directed to prepare and provide to the 
Committees on Appropriations a comprehensive approach to 
ensuring the safety of medical products from the manufacturing 
of raw ingredients or components to consumer use.
    Specifically, these funding increases will, at a minimum, 
provide FDA with the capability to:
    --Significantly increase foreign and domestic medical 
product facility inspections, improve laboratory infrastructure 
and rapid analysis tools, and conduct many more laboratory 
analyses and several thousand import exams and samples;
    --Establish a unique device identification system to track 
devices, facilitate recalls, and support inventory management;
    --Begin to implement the safety requirements outlined in 
the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act;
    --Upgrade the agency's information technology to enable 
data sharing and enhanced analysis of adverse events;
    --Develop a regulated product information data warehouse 
that will enable information sharing with other regulatory 
agencies; and
    --Integrate risk-based information into data systems that 
will support FDA's ability to improve electronic screening of 
imports and allow the agency to proactively identify problems 
and risks associated with imported products.
    The bill provides $16,000,000 for the critical path 
initiative, including not less than $4,000,000 for competitive 
contracts or grants to universities and non-profit 
organizations to support critical path projects. Funding for 
critical path activities is distributed throughout FDA's 
program areas, and the Office of Critical Path Programs (OCPP) 
is responsible for coordinating these activities at the agency. 
It is understood that OCPP, working with FDA's centers, will 
play a primary role in determining which critical path efforts 
the agency will undertake.
    The bill provides an increase of $6,620,000 for the 
Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising and Communication in 
CDER. The funding provided is to be used for the review of 
direct-to-consumer advertisements and is equal to the amount of 
funding that the budget estimated would have been raised by the 
fee in fiscal year 2009.
    The bill provides $2,000,000 for Demonstration Grants for 
Improving Pediatric Device Availability, as authorized by the 
Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, in the 
Center for Devices and Radiological Health. Medical device 
products are typically developed for adults, limiting 
children's access to safe and effective medical devices. This 
program will provide grants to nonprofit pediatric medical 
device consortia, which will assist scientists and innovators 
with technical and financial resources to improve the number of 
medical devices available to children. The Office of Orphan 
Products Development will be responsible for carrying out this 
program.
    The bill provides $6,000,000 for the Office of Women's 
Health, an increase of $1,000,000.
    There is concern about the contamination of farm-raised 
shrimp imports with banned antibiotics. FDA currently inspects 
less than two percent of imported shrimp. FDA is strongly 
encouraged to develop, in cooperation with state testing 
programs, a program for increasing the inspection of imported 
shrimp for banned antibiotics.
    FDA is encouraged to conduct workshops and engage in other 
forms of communication with federal agencies, organizations 
involved in blood collection and others, to ensure that those 
organizations and the public understand the latest scientific 
information available on blood safety issues.
    There are poor survival rates and a lack of new therapies 
associated with many pediatric cancers, including high-risk 
neuroblastoma. FDA is encouraged to prioritize review of new 
treatments and clinical trials for pediatric oncology patients 
and provide a report on these activities.
    The bill provides no less than the fiscal year 2008 level 
in appropriated funds for activities related to the Mammography 
Quality Standards Act (MQSA). Appropriations for this program 
fund research grants and various activities to develop and 
enforce quality standards for mammography service. On June 26, 
2008, the Committees received a report on actions being taken 
to implement recommendations made in the Institute of Medicine 
report entitled ``Breast Imaging Quality Standards.'' The 
report stated that FDA held an open public meeting on September 
28 and 29, 2006, and has been considering potential amendments 
to MQSA, which would address the IOM report, since this 
meeting. To date, FDA has not acted on any of these 
recommendations. This is an unacceptable delay. FDA is directed 
to report to the Committees on which amendments that FDA will 
propose to MQSA, if any, in response to the IOM report 
recommendations, and provide a timeline for these amendments.
    The importance of seafood to a healthy diet is recognized, 
but there are concerns that FDA does not focus sufficient 
attention on economic integrity issues, particularly with 
respect to mislabeling of species, weights, country of origin, 
and treatment. FDA is encouraged to work with states to more 
aggressively combat fraud in parts of the seafood industry.
    The Hawaii Department of Agriculture has proposed a state-
wide standardized food safety certification system. FDA is 
encouraged to work with the State of Hawaii on this system and 
to provide funding if appropriate.
    Serious concerns have been raised about illnesses and 
deaths from Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). 
Estimates suggest that tens of thousands of persons develop 
serious MRSA infections in the United States each year and 
thousands die. While both FDA and USDA fund research on this 
issue, more may need to be done. FDA is encouraged to work with 
USDA and CDC, through the National Antibiotic Resistance 
Monitoring System and/or the Antibiotic Resistance Interagency 
Task Force, to address the issue of the prevalence of MRSA in 
domestic farm animals.
    The bill provides funding for the following items: 
$1,650,000 for the Agricultural Products Food Safety Laboratory 
at New Mexico State University; $525,000 for collaborative drug 
safety research at the Critical Path Institute and the 
University of Utah; $1,608,000 for dietary supplements research 
at the National Center for Natural Products Research in 
Mississippi; $2,077,000 for the National Center for Food Safety 
and Technology, Summit-Argo, Illinois; $139,000 for the 
Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference (ISSC); $174,000 for 
ISSC vibrio vulnificus education; $69,000 for the Waste 
Management Education and Research Consortium at New Mexico 
State University; and $1,399,000 for the Western Region Center 
of Excellence at the University of California-Davis. Funding 
for these items was included in the budget request.

                        BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

    The bill provides $12,433,000 for FDA buildings and 
facilities, as requested in the amended budget. This funding 
shall be used to upgrade FDA facilities and laboratories that 
are currently below public safety standards and incapable of 
performing agency requirements. In providing this funding, 
specific projects are not approved, as the backlog of 
maintenance and repairs at FDA locations is significant. FDA is 
directed to prioritize this funding consistent with the backlog 
of maintenance and repairs and improve the average facility 
condition index at FDA sites. Within 30 days of the date of 
enactment of this Act, FDA is directed to provide a plan for 
allocating the funding to the Committees. The plan should 
include the methodology used to allocate the resources; the 
specific maintenance or repairs that will be conducted; whether 
the funding allocated to the site will complete a project or is 
partial funding for the project; and if partial funding for a 
project is provided, the full cost of completing the project.
