the Council or Mayor of the District of Columbia from

            (2) The amounts shall be obligated and expended in

 DIVISION D--FINANCIAL SERVICES AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS 
                               ACT, 2009

    Following is an explanation of the effects of division D, 
relating to the Financial Services and General Government 
Appropriations Act, 2009.

                        Reprogramming Guidelines

    The bill includes a provision (section 608) establishing 
the authority of agencies to reprogram funds and the 
limitations on that authority. The provision specifically 
requires the advance approval of the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations of any proposal to reprogram funds 
that meets specified criteria.
    Each agency is required to submit an operating plan to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not later than 60 
days after the enactment of this Act. This operating plan 
establishes the baseline for application of reprogramming and 
transfer authorities provided in this Act. Specifically, each 
agency should provide a table for each appropriation with 
columns displaying the budget request; adjustments made by 
Congress; adjustments for rescissions, if appropriate; and the 
fiscal year enacted level. The table shall delineate the 
appropriation both by object class and by program, project, and 
activity. The report must also identify items of special 
congressional interest.
    Agencies should submit reprogramming requests in a timely 
manner and provide a thorough explanation of the proposed 
reallocations, including a detailed justification of increases 
and reductions and the specific impact the proposed changes 
will have on the budget request for the following fiscal year. 
Except in emergency situations, reprogramming requests should 
be submitted no later than June 30. When an agency submits a 
reprogramming or transfer request to the Committees on 
Appropriations and does not receive identical responses from 
the House and the Senate Committees, it is the responsibility 
of the agency to reconcile the House and the Senate differences 
before proceeding, and if reconciliation is not possible, to 
consider the request to reprogram funds denied.

                             Agency Reports

    As a measure to reduce costs and conserve paper, agencies 
funded by this Act that currently provide separate copies of 
periodic reports (such as Performance and Accountability 
Reports) to the Chairs of the House and Senate Appropriations 
Committees and Subcommittees on Financial Services and General 
Government, and also to the Ranking Members of the Committees 
and Subcommittees, should send only one copy jointly addressed 
to the Chairs of the Committee and Subcommittee and one copy 
jointly addressed to the Ranking Members of the Committee and 
Subcommittee (separate copies should be sent to the House and 
the Senate). This will reduce by half (from eight to four) the 
copies of periodic reports agencies send to the Committees.

                              Comparisons

    Comparisons between amounts provided by this Act, amounts 
enacted for fiscal year 2008, and amounts requested by the 
President may be found in the table at the end of this 
division.

                                TITLE I

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

                          Departmental Offices

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $278,870,000 for departmental offices 
salaries and expenses.
    For the activities under this heading, the bill provides 
the following funding levels:

Executive Direction.....................................     $21,619,000
Economic Policies and Programs..........................      45,910,000
Financial Policies and Programs.........................      36,039,000
Terrorism and Financial Intelligence....................      62,098,000
Treasury-wide Management................................      21,600,000
Administration..........................................      91,604,000

    Within the Financial Policies and Programs budget activity, 
the bill provides an increase of $500,000 above the amount 
assumed in the budget request for the Department's Office of 
Financial Education. The Department is directed to target this 
increase toward financial education efforts aimed at elementary 
and high schools, as well as efforts aimed at combating 
predatory lending.
    Within the funds provided for the Office of Foreign Assets 
Control (OFAC), not less than $300,000 is provided to increase, 
above fiscal year 2008 levels, efforts to reduce the backlog of 
OFAC Freedom of Information Act requests.
    The bill includes a provision allowing the Department to 
transfer up to 4 percent of funds available between budget 
activities upon notification of the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations. Transfers in excess of 4 percent may be made 
upon approval of the Committees on Appropriations.
    The Department is directed to submit to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations an operating plan for the 
fiscal year 2009 resources provided to the Department, 
including all offices and bureaus, not more than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act. This requirement is further addressed by 
section 608 of this Act. The plan must include information on 
program increases and major procurements at the Department. The 
operating plan should incorporate input from all senior level 
managers of the Department, and once submitted, the final plan 
should be made available to those managers.
    The bill includes funding for the Department's Office of 
General Counsel within the Executive Direction budget activity, 
rather than as a separate budget activity. The Department is 
directed to include, in its budget submission for fiscal year 
2010, information on actual fiscal year 2008 costs, estimated 
fiscal year 2009 costs, and estimated fiscal year 2010 costs 
associated with the Office of General Counsel.
    As a result of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 
2008 (EESA) and other actions to stabilize the financial 
markets, the Department's responsibilities and activities have 
substantially and rapidly increased. The Department is expected 
to properly account for spending between amounts appropriated 
in the bill for specified activities and activities funded by 
direct spending authority under EESA.
    The Department is also expected to address the 
recommendations provided by the Government Accountability 
Office (GAO) in the report titled ``Troubled Asset Relief 
Program: Additional Actions Needed to Better Insure Integrity, 
Accountability, and Transparency'' (GAO-09-161). Specifically, 
the Department is directed to implement reporting requirements 
to link the use of funds with the specified goals of EESA, to 
improve communications with Congress and the public, to monitor 
compliance with limitations on executive compensation, and to 
establish procedures for comprehensive oversight of contracts. 
The Committees on Appropriations are particularly concerned 
with the reliance on ``time and materials'' contracts, as the 
GAO has cited that these types of contracts present a high risk 
for the government because they provide no positive incentive 
to control for costs. The Department is directed to brief the 
Committees on Appropriations regularly on activities relating 
to EESA.
    The Department is directed to fully exercise its authority 
under EESA and its other authorities to reduce the amount of 
mortgage defaults and foreclosures. Preventing foreclosure is 
not only a key step to providing stability to domestic and 
global financial markets, it also will help keep American 
families in their homes during the economic crisis.
    The Committees on Appropriations are greatly concerned by 
the resource allocation decisions being made by OFAC, as noted 
in a November 2007 report from GAO. OFAC's resource allocation 
decisions should be made on the basis of the most pressing 
national security threats facing the United States. OFAC is 
responsible for administering and enforcing more than 20 
economic and trade sanctions programs, based on U.S. foreign 
policy and national security goals, against targeted foreign 
countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and 
proliferators of weapons of mass destruction. Yet, as the GAO 
report points out, Cuba embargo-related cases comprised 61 
percent of OFAC's investigatory caseload from 2000 through 
2006. In contrast, Cuba embargo-related cases comprise a minor 
part of the investigation caseloads of the Commerce 
Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)/Office of 
Export Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security's 
Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (3 percent and 
0.2 percent, respectively).
    In addition, OFAC penalties for Cuba embargo violations 
represented more than 70 percent of OFAC's total penalties 
between 2000 and 2005. The report notes that most of these 
penalties were for infractions such as purchasing Cuban cigars. 
By contrast, Cuba embargo penalties comprised just 0.16 percent 
of the total penalties of BIS during the period of 2002-2006. 
The Commerce Department, the Department of Homeland Security's 
Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Justice 
Department reported undertaking relatively few investigations, 
penalties, and prosecutions of Cuba embargo violations.
    The Committees on Appropriations strongly concur with GAO's 
recommendation that the Secretary of the Treasury direct OFAC 
to assess its allocation of resources for investigating and 
penalizing violations of the Cuba embargo with respect to the 
numerous other sanctions programs OFAC administers. The 
Department is directed to report to the House and Senate 
Appropriations Committees, within 90 days of enactment of this 
Act, as to the steps it is taking to assess OFAC's allocation 
of resources, along with any plans to reallocate OFAC 
resources. As part of such report, the Department is 
additionally directed to provide the following information:
    (1) for each fiscal year from 2001 to 2008, the following 
information related to OFAC's Cuba-related licensing:
     the number of family travel licenses issued, as 
well as the number denied;
     the number of religious travel licenses issued, as 
well as the number denied;
     the number of academic travel licenses issued, as 
well as the number denied;
     the number of licenses issued for the various 
categories of permissible travel;
     the number of licenses denied for the various 
categories of permissible travel;
     the number of fines issued;
     the average amount of fines;
     the total amount (in dollars) of fines issued per 
violation category;
     the number of Cuba travel service providers 
receiving licenses;
     the names of Cuba travel service providers 
receiving licenses;
     the number of Full-time Equivalents (FTE) used for 
issuing Cuba licenses; and
     the number of FTE used for issuing licenses for 
Cuba travel service providers;
    (2) for each fiscal year from 2001 to 2008, the following 
information related to OFAC enforcement of the Cuba embargo:
     the number of FTE used for Cuba embargo 
enforcement;
     the number of fines issued;
     the average amount of fines;
     the total amount (in dollars) of fines issued, per 
violation category;
     the number of cases heard by OFAC Administrative 
Law Judges, along with information on whether these judges were 
OFAC's own, or whether they were borrowed from other Government 
agencies;
     the average fine in these cases; and
     the total amount (in dollars) of fines issued by 
these judges;
    (3) for each fiscal year from 1990 to 2008, the following 
information related to OFAC enforcement of the Cuba embargo:
     the total amount of fines collected in each year;
     the number of travelers engaged in illegal travel 
to Cuba and apprehended, as reported to OFAC, along with 
statistics as to the points-of-entry where travelers were 
apprehended;
     the number of cases against travelers that were/
are disputed by the traveler;
     the number of these cases that are settled;
     the average settlement amount; and
     the average time from the first notice sent to the 
traveler until final settlement was reached;
    (4) for fiscal years 2007 and 2008, the number of FTE 
devoted to OFAC enforcement in the area of Foreign Terrorist 
Organizations.
    The Department is directed to fully implement the sanctions 
and divestment measures specified in the Sudan Accountability 
and Divestment Act of 2007 as well as all other sanctions and 
divestment measures applicable to Sudan, Burma, Iran, and 
Zimbabwe. The Department is further directed to promptly notify 
the Appropriations Committees of any resource constraints that 
adversely impact the implementation of these sanctions 
programs.
    Given Iran's failure to fully cooperate with International 
Atomic Energy Agency inspections and various resolutions passed 
by the United Nations Security Council, as well as continuing 
deficiencies in Iran's anti-money laundering and counter-
terrorist financing procedures, the Department is urged to 
continue working with other cognizant Federal agencies and 
international organizations, including the Financial Action 
Task Force, to help deter Iran's support for weapons 
proliferation.
    A July 2007 GAO report found that while the Department has 
established many of the capabilities needed to select, control, 
and evaluate its information technology (IT) investments, the 
Department has significant weaknesses that hamper its ability 
to effectively manage its investments. The Department has since 
initiated efforts to improve its IT investment management 
process and recognizes the need to take proactive steps to 
strengthen its investment board operations and oversight. The 
Department is directed to continue improving the management of 
its capital investments, specifically focusing on integrating 
all of the Department's bureaus into improvement efforts and 
institutionalizing improvements so that taxpayers will benefit 
from better management of future capital projects. The 
Department is further directed to report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations on a quarterly basis, 
beginning not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, on any planned or implemented improvements in the 
area of Treasury's IT investments, including progress in 
addressing GAO's recommendations. The Department is further 
directed to ensure that adequate resources are devoted both to 
projects in the capital phase and to proper maintenance and 
modernization of existing systems.

   Community Development Financial Institutions Fund Program Account

    The bill provides $107,000,000 for the Community 
Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund program. Within 
this amount, $8,500,000 is for technical assistance and other 
purposes for Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Alaskan 
Native communities.
    In addition, of the funds provided, $2,000,000 is included 
for a new competitive grants pilot program at the Department, 
aimed at providing financial counseling services to prospective 
homebuyers, as authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery 
Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-289). In developing the competitive 
grants process, the Department is directed to consult with 
other Federal agencies and public and private organizations 
with expertise in community-based financial counseling 
programs.
    The Department is directed to fund the Bank Enterprise 
Award program at a level not less than $22,000,000.
    Poverty, lack of economic opportunity, and lack of low-cost 
financial services continue to be problems across much of the 
Nation, particularly in many Hispanic-American, African-
American, Native American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, 
Alaskan Native, and other minority communities. The House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations appreciate the ongoing 
efforts of the CDFI Fund to work to remedy the particular 
problems in these communities and strongly encourage the CDFI 
Fund to continue to place a heavy emphasis on these efforts.

                        Internal Revenue Service


                           TAXPAYER SERVICES

    The bill includes $2,293,000,000 for Taxpayer Services, an 
increase of $143,000,000 above both the request and the amount 
provided in fiscal year 2008. The increase above the budget 
request is in addition to, and not a substitute for, the 
$127,000,000 in user fee collections that the Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) estimated in its fiscal year 2009 budget request 
would be available to supplement the Taxpayer Services account. 
Within the overall amount, not less than $9,500,000 is for low-
income taxpayer clinic grants, and not less than $5,100,000 is 
for the Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program. Not less than 
$193,000,000 is provided for operating expenses of the IRS 
Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS).
    In addition, within the overall amount provided, 
$8,000,000, available until September 30, 2010, is included to 
continue the Community Volunteer Income Tax Assistance matching 
grants program. In administering this program, the IRS is not 
permitted to treat any in-kind contributions from the IRS as 
counting toward the $8,000,000 appropriation, nor shall the IRS 
reduce any current contributions toward tax return preparation 
services.
    Within the overall funds provided, the IRS is expected to 
devote funding to maintaining its processing of essential 
pension plan return information while transitioning to a new 
mandated electronic filing system in 2010.
    Of the increase above the budget request, $38,000,000 is 
directed to be targeted toward the following activities within 
the Pre-filing Taxpayer Assistance and Education budget 
activity: (1) increasing IRS outreach and education activities, 
for individuals, businesses, and tax-exempt entities, above the 
levels assumed in the fiscal year 2009 budget request, (2) 
enhancements to IRS face-to-face service, and (3) enhancements 
to the IRS 1-800 help line service. The Department is directed 
to include, in its fiscal year 2009 operating plan, a specific 
plan for increasing these activities above the levels assumed 
in the budget request. For purposes of comparison, the plan 
should include: (1) details on the funding levels and full-time 
equivalents (FTEs) assumed in the fiscal year 2009 budget 
request for these activities, and (2) funding levels and FTEs 
for these activities as funded by this Act. The IRS is directed 
to add this funding to the IRS base budget and include it in 
future budget requests. To the maximum extent possible, these 
funds should go toward increasing the numbers of IRS personnel 
devoted to these activities.
    The IRS is directed to strengthen, improve, and expand 
taxpayer service overall. If the IRS proposes further 
reductions in specific taxpayer services, such reductions must 
be consistent with the budget justification, operating plan, 
and Taxpayer Assistance Blueprint, and the IRS must demonstrate 
that such reductions will not result in a decline in voluntary 
compliance. Where such reductions involve a reduction in face-
to-face service, the IRS must demonstrate that the proposed 
reductions do not adversely impact compliance by taxpayers who 
are dependent on such services, by showing, through such means 
as a successful pilot program, survey, or other empirical 
means, that there is an effective and viable service 
alternative available.
    The IRS, the IRS Oversight Board and the National Taxpayer 
Advocate are directed to submit annually to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations an update to the Taxpayer 
Assistance Blueprint, detailing its implementation status and 
identifying any changes to the strategic plan for taxpayer 
service, including the results of any new research and relevant 
findings, and any open issues requiring additional research. 
The first update shall be submitted 120 days after enactment of 
this Act.
    The IRS is directed to continue to report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations on a quarterly basis, 
beginning not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, with updated projections on user fee collections.
    The IRS is directed to provide an assessment of lessons 
learned from the administration of the 2008 economic stimulus 
program, including recommendations for managing similar 
programs in the future and minimizing declines in level of core 
services, to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
no later than 120 days after enactment of this Act. As part of 
such report, the IRS should include an analysis of the 
feasibility, including cost savings, of converting taxpayers 
who receive paper checks to electronic or debit card payment 
systems.
    Given the remote distance of Alaska and Hawaii from the 
U.S. mainland and the difficulty experienced by Alaska and 
Hawaii taxpayers in receiving needed tax assistance by the 
national toll free line, it is imperative that the TAS in each 
of these states is fully staffed and capable of resolving 
taxpayer problems of the most complex nature. The IRS is 
directed to continue to staff each TAS Center in each of these 
states with a Collection Technical Advisor and an Examination 
Technical Advisor in addition to the current complement of 
office staff.
    There continues to be a steady increase in the number of 
tax returns filed electronically. Eighty million tax returns 
were e-filed in 2007. While the IRS did not meet the 
congressionally-mandated goal of having 80 percent of tax 
returns filed electronically by 2007, it achieved an overall e-
file rate of 65 percent, up over 9 percent. The IRS is 
directed, in consultation with stakeholders, including the 
National Taxpayer Advocate, to implement a strategy to achieve 
the 80 percent e-file goal. This plan should address alternate 
electronic filing strategies, including Telefile and 2-D Bar 
Coding and methods of e-filing directly with the IRS for free.
    The Department's fiscal year 2009 budget request for the 
IRS assumes more than $80,000,000 in efficiency savings. While 
it is important for the IRS, like all Federal agencies, to 
explore ways to achieve cost savings, these budget assumptions 
also carry risks, as the IRS would need to reduce program 
funding if savings fail to materialize as projected. An August 
2007 report from TIGTA noted that savings estimates could not 
be validated for more than $146,000,000 in taxpayer service 
reengineering and program efficiencies initiatives over fiscal 
years 2006 and 2007. The IRS is directed to report to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 30 days of 
enactment of this Act, on the steps it is taking to improve its 
processes for measuring savings and efficiencies, including 
steps to address TIGTA's recommendations in this area.
    In recent years, the IRS has made progress expanding the 
availability of IRS services available in languages other than 
English, including the establishment of a Spanish-language 
version of ``Where's My Refund?'' in 2008. However, the IRS 
Taxpayer Advocate has also expressed concerns in recent years 
about the lack of availability of certain IRS services, forms, 
and publications in languages other than English, even though 
six percent of taxpayers do not speak English at home. The IRS 
is urged to continue to work to translate a broad range of 
documents, not just education and outreach materials, but also 
forms and examination and collection notices.
    In addition, an August 2007 TIGTA report showed that for 
the 2007 filing season, the quality and level of customer 
service for Spanish-speaking taxpayers was lower than that 
provided for English-speaking taxpayers. Furthermore, the 
accuracy rate for tax answers provided by the IRS to Spanish-
speaking taxpayers was lower than that for English-speaking 
taxpayers. The IRS is directed to report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 30 days of 
enactment of this Act, on the status of the quality and level 
of customer service for Spanish language applications on the 
IRS 1-800 help line, along with any IRS corrective actions 
planned or implemented to improve performance.
    Many low-income taxpayers and their families are having 
their Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) benefits unnecessarily 
diminished through high-cost, short-term products such as 
refund anticipation loans (RALs). The IRS is directed, in 
consultation with the National Taxpayer Advocate, to educate 
consumers about the costs associated with these products and 
expand access to alternative methods of obtaining timely tax 
refunds.
    The IRS, in consultation with the IRS Taxpayer Advocate, is 
directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, on 
improvements being made in the process for making decisions 
about Taxpayer Assistance Center services and locations, 
including progress in addressing the recent recommendations of 
TIGTA in this area.
    The IRS has stated that it would achieve millions of 
dollars in cost savings as a result of the consolidation of IRS 
processing centers for paper tax returns. However, an August 
2007 TIGTA report showed that the IRS had not provided adequate 
information about the actual results from the first two 
processing center closures. In addition, the IRS business 
decision to consolidate the processing centers did not include 
a cost-benefit analysis. Consequently, the IRS did not set 
financial goals for the consolidation, and thus has not had an 
incentive to determine how efficient its decisions have been. 
While the IRS has continued to successfully process individual 
income tax returns while implementing the consolidation, the 
report cited several unanticipated developments at the Fresno, 
CA processing site due to increased tax return volume, 
including delays in processing returns and a possible staffing 
shortfall. Prior to future processing center closures, the IRS 
is strongly urged to have the IRS Project Management Office 
complete a cost-benefit analysis, as recommended by TIGTA, to 
determine if the existing submission processing consolidation 
plan is optimal in terms of cost savings and operational 
effectiveness.

                              ENFORCEMENT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $5,117,267,000 for Enforcement.
    The IRS is directed to report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations, within 120 days of enactment of 
this Act, on the status of efforts to improve IRS's system for 
identifying paid preparers, including addressing the 
recommendations of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
in this area.
    The IRS is urged to continue to work to avoid unnecessary 
delays in the issuances of Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) 
refunds, as such refunds comprise a significant portion of the 
annual income of eligible taxpayers. In addition, the IRS is 
directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, on 
steps it is taking to address the recommendations of the IRS 
Taxpayer Advocate regarding barriers faced by taxpayers when 
negotiating the EITC audit process.
    An understanding of the causes of inadvertent noncompliance 
and the role of preparers in facilitating both inadvertent and 
intentional noncompliance will improve tax administration and 
should inform IRS's allocation of resources. The IRS, in 
administering its National Research Program (NRP) for fiscal 
year 2009, is directed to collect information on the causes of 
noncompliance, including inadvertent noncompliance, the type of 
return preparation method (self, volunteer, paid preparer, or 
IRS preparer), whether the taxpayer was represented during the 
examination, and the extent to which that taxpayer sought and 
received IRS services. The IRS is further directed to use an 
independent external survey firm to conduct interviews with NRP 
taxpayers in order to identify the causes of taxpayer 
noncompliance. The National Taxpayer Advocate is directed to 
assist with this effort.
    Many types of vehicles, such as fire engines, garbage 
trucks, utility trucks, farm vehicles, cement trucks, dump 
trucks, and tow trucks use their main engine to run auxiliary 
equipment, which is known as ``power take-off.'' However, 
current IRS regulations prohibit taxpayers from taking a credit 
or claiming a refund for Federal fuel excise tax paid on fuel 
used to power the main propulsion engine for power take-off. 
The IRS is encouraged to consider issuing a rule to address 
this issue, in order to encourage fuel efficiency and reduce 
emissions.

                           OPERATIONS SUPPORT

    The bill provides $3,867,011,000 for Operations Support. Of 
the funds provided, up to $75,000,000 is available until 
September 30, 2010 for information technology support and 
$1,000,000 is available until September 30, 2011 for research. 
In addition, not less than $2,000,000 is provided for the IRS 
Oversight Board.
    In addition to the normal operating plan requirements 
detailed in the introduction to this division of the statement, 
the IRS is directed to include in its fiscal year 2009 
operating plan details on any planned reorganization, job 
reductions or increases to offices or activities within the 
agency, and modifications to any service or enforcement 
activity. The IRS is additionally directed to obtain comments 
on the operating plan from the IRS Oversight Board and to 
provide a summary of the comments as part of the operating plan 
submission to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations. Further, the IRS should promptly notify the 
Committees on Appropriations and the IRS Oversight Board if 
there are any substantial changes to these plans.
    The Appropriations Committees continue to support adequate 
staffing levels for effective tax administration and support 
the staffing plans for the IRS facilities in the communities of 
Martinsburg and Beckley, West Virginia. The IRS is urged, 
within the constraints of the fiscal year 2009 funding levels, 
to make no staffing reductions at the Martinsburg National 
Computing Center and the programmed level at the Finance Center 
in Beckley, West Virginia. Further, the IRS is directed to 
provide an annual report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on its efforts to protect and increase staffing 
levels at the Martinsburg and Beckley IRS facilities.
    Given the strong and legitimate concerns that continue to 
be raised by Congress, GAO, TIGTA, and others regarding 
information security vulnerabilities at the IRS and the IRS's 
handling of cases of identity theft, the IRS is directed to 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
within 60 days of enactment of this Act as to the status of its 
efforts at improvement in these areas.
    A September 2007 GAO report noted that there are 
significant problems in the management of paper case files at 
the IRS. In particular, the report noted that the IRS does not 
have an effective process for ensuring that paper case files 
can be located within the requesters' time frames, frequently 
causing unnecessary taxpayer burden and hindering the oversight 
efforts of Congress, GAO, TIGTA, and others. The IRS has agreed 
it needs to review its paper case file management program and 
has formed a cross-functional working group to identify 
improvements and consider GAO's recommendations. The IRS is 
directed to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, on 
progress IRS is making in improving its paper case file 
management.

                     BUSINESS SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION

    The bill provides $229,914,000 for Business Systems 
Modernization (BSM). Language is included requiring approval by 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of a GAO-
reviewed expenditure plan for BSM prior to the obligation of 
the funds, except in the case of funds for IRS labor costs. The 
Department is directed to notify the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations, within seven days, if BSM 
management funds are reallocated to the capital asset 
acquisition program.
    As one of the Federal Government's largest, most visible, 
and sensitive modernization efforts, managing the risks 
inherent in BSM will continue to require vigilant management 
attention for several years. To the IRS's credit, the program 
has made steady progress over the past few years. At the same 
time, however, GAO has noted that three recent BSM project 
milestones experienced significant cost or schedule delays. In 
addition, future releases, especially the Customer Account Data 
Engine and Accounts Management Services projects, continue to 
face significant risks and issues that could impact overall 
cost and schedule estimates. The IRS is urged to work 
diligently to improve the BSM program, including efforts to 
address the related concerns highlighted by GAO and TIGTA, and 
to immediately report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations any delays or cost overruns associated with BSM 
efforts.

               HEALTH INSURANCE TAX CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

    The bill provides $15,406,000 for administration of the 
Health Insurance Tax Credit program.

                                TITLE II


    EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT AND FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE 
                               PRESIDENT


                     Compensation of the President

    The bill provides $450,000 for compensation of the 
President, including an expense allowance as authorized by 3 
U.S.C. 102.

                           White House Office


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $53,899,000 for the White House Office. 
This amount includes $1,400,000 for the White House Office of 
National AIDS Policy. The Administration is urged to develop 
and implement a National AIDS Strategy that engages multiple 
sectors in strategy development, is comprehensive across 
Federal agencies, sets timelines and assigns responsibility for 
implementing changes, identifies targets for improved 
prevention and treatment outcomes and reduced racial 
disparities, and mandates annual reporting on progress.

                 Executive Resident at the White House


                           OPERATING EXPENSES

    The bill provides $13,363,000 for the operating expenses of 
the Executive Residence.

                   White House Repair and Restoration

    The bill provides $1,600,000 for White House repair and 
restoration.

                      Council of Economic Advisers


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $4,118,000 for the Council of Economic 
Advisers.

                      Office of Policy Development


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $3,550,000 for the Office of Policy 
Development.

                       National Security Council


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $9,029,000 for the National Security 
Council.

                        Office of Administration


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $101,333,000 for the Office of 
Administration. Included in this amount is $5,700,000 for e-
mail restoration activities and $11,923,000 for continued 
modernization of information technology infrastructure.
    The Administration should implement comprehensive policies 
and procedures for the preservation of all records, including 
electronic records such as e-mails, consistent with the 
requirements of the Presidential Records Act, the Federal 
Records Act, and other pertinent laws. The Office of 
Administration should also work closely with the National 
Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to ensure the full 
and complete maintenance and formatting of electronic records 
that will eventually be turned over to NARA. The Administration 
is directed to submit a report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations no later than June 30, 2009 
describing actions it is taking to ensure such policies and 
procedures are in place, as well as the estimated costs, by 
program, activity, and fiscal year, of new systems, staff, or 
other resources needed to ensure the preservation of electronic 
Presidential records.

                    Office of Management and Budget


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $87,972,000 for the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB).
    Included in this amount is funding to help OMB avoid 
further reductions in FTE as well as to help OMB meet its 
responsibilities related to the Emergency Economic 
Stabilization Act of 2008 and other Federal efforts to 
stabilize the economy. In addition, the bill provides funding 
to maintain and modernize the Federal government's core 
budgeting system, which is nearly 20 years old. Also included 
is funding, estimated at $200,000, for the printing of paper 
copies of the President's annual budget submission so that 
Congress can properly and thoroughly evaluate the President's 
budget proposals. For fiscal year 2009, OMB did not provide 
Congress with printed copies of the budget request resulting in 
the Government Printing Office assuming these costs.
    The value of Federal contracts has increased significantly 
in recent years to well over $400 billion. OMB, through its 
Office of Federal Procurement Policy, should be playing a 
central role in coordinating contracting oversight government-
wide. However, in recent years, OMB appeared to be more focused 
on promoting questionable workforce conversion practices rather 
than vigorous contracting oversight. The Administration is 
strongly encouraged to refocus OMB's efforts toward effective 
oversight of Federal contracts.
    An April 2008 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report 
on use of purchase cards found that although purchase cards 
help agencies lower transaction costs for small purchases and 
provide procurement flexibility, 41 percent of the transactions 
made with purchase cards between July 2005 and June 2006 did 
not follow proper procedures. OMB is directed to report to the 
Committees on Appropriations within 120 days of enactment of 
this Act on actions taken to implement GAO's recommendations 
and improve purchase card internal controls.
    OMB, working with the Environmental Protection Agency, 
should aggressively pursue completion of pending Integrated 
Risk Information System (IRIS) assessments, such as 
trichloroethylene (TCE), which has been under review by IRIS 
since 1998. In 2004, OMB initiated an interagency review of all 
IRIS assessments. The number of completed IRIS assessments has 
decreased since OMB, and in particular the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, became involved in the 
process. According to the GAO, 32 draft assessments were sent 
for external review in fiscal years 2006 and 2007, but only 
four IRIS assessments were finalized; an unacceptable number.
    The President is urged to establish the Task Force on 
International Cooperation for Clean and Efficient Technologies 
as required under section 916 of the Energy Independence and 
Security Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-140).
    OMB is reminded of the report due to Congress no later than 
March 1, 2009, regarding the extent to which executive 
departments and agencies that administer directed funding 
allocate the designated amounts to intended recipients at a 
level less than specified in any enacted bill or accompanying 
report.

                 Office of National Drug Control Policy


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $27,200,000 for Office of National Drug 
Control Policy (ONDCP) salaries and expenses. Of this amount, 
$1,300,000 is for policy research and evaluation within the 
Office of Planning and Budget. This funding should be used to 
inform policy issues relating to formulation of the National 
Drug Control Strategy, including attention to demand reduction 
programs and policies.
    The findings of a recent study regarding ONDCP, requested 
by Congress and completed by the National Academy of Public 
Administration (NAPA), raise serious issues with the agency's 
organization and management, as well as the agency's national 
drug control strategy formulation, coordination, and budget. 
For example, the NAPA study ``found ONDCP's current structure 
to be less than optimally aligned for the work to be done, 
highly compartmentalized, and out of balance, with an over-
abundance of supervisors, managers, and political appointees.''
    The strength and diversity of ONDCP's workforce is also a 
serious concern. From fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2008, the 
agency's workforce declined from 123 to 106, and both racial/
ethnicity and female representation have declined significantly 
as a percentage of the total workforce. Political appointments 
(with the largest portion being Schedule C appointments) 
constitute almost a quarter of the workforce at this `non-
partisan' organization, a level greater than other EOP 
components. Among career staff, the level of turnover in some 
years has raised concerns about continuity of leadership as 
well as sufficiency of expertise. Management policies and 
practices, particularly those relating to human capital, have 
resulted in a highly centralized and non-transparent structure. 
More than one-half of ONDCP employees report directly or 
secondarily to the chief of staff (a non-career SES position), 
while the deputy director of ONDCP, a Senate-confirmed 
Presidential appointee, has no supervisory responsibilities.
    The NAPA study also looked closely at ONDCP's external 
relationships, including those with Congress. The Committees on 
Appropriations have had concerns for some time that ONDCP often 
disregards the intent of Congress. As an example, the 
Committees have expressed displeasure and frustration with how 
ONDCP approached a reorganization of its budget and Counterdrug 
Technology Assessment Center offices and its refusal to reverse 
the reorganization in spite of statutory law and directives. As 
the NAPA study noted, ``[r]efusing to comply with statutory 
requirements, while not making the necessary efforts to resolve 
these issues with Congress, only serves to increase 
frustrations on both sides.'' NAPA goes on to recommend that 
ONDCP be more engaged in addressing such issues with Congress. 
Improved communication and cooperation between ONDCP and 
Congress is possible if such efforts are made.
    The NAPA study contains many additional observations and 
recommendations. The Administration and ONDCP leadership are 
strongly encouraged to consider these recommendations as they 
review the goals, organization, and management of the agency.
    Methamphetamine production, trafficking and abuse continue 
to be a serious problem. ONDCP should continue its efforts to 
work with various agencies, such as the Departments of Justice, 
State, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, along 
with state and local governments, to develop and implement 
strategies to reduce the demand for and supply of 
methamphetamine in the U.S.

                COUNTERDRUG TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT CENTER

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $3,000,000 for the Counterdrug Technology 
Assessment Center (CTAC) for counter-narcotics research and 
development. The bill requires a detailed spending plan for the 
use of these funds be submitted no later than 90 days after 
enactment of the Act.
    In fiscal year 2003, the CTAC research and development 
program was appropriated $22,000,000 (in addition, the 
Technology Transfer Program was funded under CTAC at 
$26,000,000). Since that time, budget constraints and concerns 
about the direction and leadership of CTAC have resulted in 
dramatically reduced funding levels. The Committees on 
Appropriations are hopeful that new leadership at ONDCP and 
CTAC will reinvigorate this program so that this once-valuable 
program will again flourish.

                     FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL PROGRAMS

             HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $234,000,000 for the High Intensity Drug 
Trafficking Areas Program (HIDTA). Of the funds provided, 
$2,100,000 is provided for audit activities, including $250,000 
for the continued operation and maintenance of the Performance 
Management System.
    The bill requires that HIDTAs existing in fiscal year 2009 
receive funding at least equal to the fiscal year 2008 initial 
allocation level or $3,000,000, whichever is greater. The 
fiscal year 2009 initial allocation level (before the 
distribution of discretionary funds) may not exceed 
$47,457,447.
    The total amount provided assumes $15,939,987 in 
discretionary funds for the HIDTA program. ONDCP is directed to 
work closely with the HIDTA Directors to develop a framework 
for the use of these discretionary funds. Funding is provided 
within this amount to provide for a program adjustment for 
HIDTAs that qualify under performance measurement criteria. 
This program adjustment should be added to the baseline for the 
initial allocation levels that will be received by HIDTAs in 
fiscal year 2010.
    ONDCP is directed to transfer HIDTA funds to the 
appropriate drug control agencies expeditiously. On November 
14, 2008, ONDCP sent a letter to HIDTAs stating that the 
distribution of initial allocation funding would be completed 
within 45 days of enactment of the fiscal year 2009 
appropriation. The bill includes a requirement consistent with 
this timetable. The bill also includes a requirement that ONDCP 
submit its recommendations on discretionary funding for 
approval to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
within 90 days of enactment of this Act. The timely review and 
transfer of both initial allocation funding and discretionary 
funding will significantly improve the ability of HIDTAs to 
manage these funds.
    The HIDTA funds should not be used to supplant existing 
support for ongoing Federal, state, or local drug control 
operations normally funded out of the operating budgets of each 
agency. ONDCP is directed to withhold all HIDTA funds from a 
state until such time as a state or locality has met its 
financial obligation for ongoing operations.
    As a result of the many new counties established with 
fiscal year 2007 funds, ONDCP provided no funding for new 
counties in fiscal year 2008 with the Committees' concurrence. 
For fiscal year 2009, discretionary funds may be provided for 
new counties if ONDCP and the HIDTA Directors determine that 
the need is warranted and the appropriate criteria have been 
met. As with all discretionary funds, ONDCP should follow the 
consultation and approval process with the Committees with 
regard to any new county funding.

                  OTHER FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $174,700,000 for Other Federal Drug 
Control Programs. The following allocations are made within the 
amount provided:

                        [In thousands of dollars]

National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign.......................   $70,000
Drug-Free Communities Support Program.........................    90,000

Performance Measures Development..............................       500

    Of the amount provided for the media campaign, at least 
$8,000,000 is available for methamphetamine prevention 
messages.
    The bill maintains funding for non-advertising services for 
the Media Campaign at no less than the fiscal year 2003 ratio 
of service funding to total funds. These activities should 
continue to include special initiatives designed to reach 
Hispanic audiences and engage private sector participation in 
the program.
    As noted, the bill provides $1,250,000 to the National 
Alliance for Model State Drug Laws (NAMSDL). ONDCP is directed 
to provide the entire amount directly to NAMSDL within 30 days 
of enactment of this Act.
    Performance measures funding is used to conduct evaluation 
research for assessing the effectiveness of the National Drug 
Control Strategy. The bill provides $500,000 for this program 
and directs ONDCP to outline and submit to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations a detailed plan for projects that 
assess the effectiveness of the strategy in achieving its goals 
and objectives, and develop and improve needed data sources, 
including specific funding levels, no later than 120 days after 
enactment of this Act.

                          Unanticipated Needs

    The bill provides $1,000,000 for Unanticipated Needs, to 
remain available until September 30, 2010. These funds enable 
the President to meet unanticipated emergencies in support of 
the national interest, security, or defense.

             Presidential Transition Administrative Support


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $8,000,000 for the Presidential 
Transition Administrative Support account, which supplements 
other administrative resources of the Executive Office of the 
President in support of the transition to the next Presidential 
Administration.

                  Special Assistance to the President


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $4,496,000 for Special Assistance to the 
President.

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $323,000 for operating expenses of the 
official residence of the Vice President.

Administrative Provisions--Executive Office of the President and Funds 
                     Appropriated to the President


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    Section 201 provides transfer authority between ``White 
House Office'', ``Executive Residence at the White House'', 
``White House Repair and Restoration'', ``Council of Economic 
Advisers'', ``National Security Council'', ``Office of 
Administration'', ``Office of Policy Development'', ``Special 
Assistance to the President'', and ``Official Residence of the 
Vice President.''
    Section 202 requires a detailed narrative and financial 
plan to be submitted by ONDCP to the Committees on 
Appropriations not later than 60 days after enactment of this 
Act.
    Section 203 specifies that not to exceed 2 percent of ONDCP 
appropriations may be transferred between appropriated programs 
upon advance approval of the Committees on Appropriations.
    Section 204 specifies that not to exceed $1,000,000 of 
ONDCP appropriations may be reprogrammed upon advance approval 
of the Committees on Appropriations.

                               TITLE III


                             THE JUDICIARY


                   Supreme Court of the United States


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill includes $69,777,000 for the salaries and expenses 
of the Supreme Court.

                    CARE OF THE BUILDING AND GROUNDS

    The bill includes $18,447,000 for care of the Supreme Court 
building and grounds. The Supreme Court is directed to report 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the 
construction and modernization project no later than 90 days 
after enactment of this Act and to continue to update the 
Committees as the Court becomes aware of any changes in 
schedule or budgetary needs.

         United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill includes $30,384,000 for the United States Court 
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The bill provides one half 
of the requested funds for rental space for senior judges and 
one half the requested funding for law clerks for new judges. 
It is difficult to justify full funding of the Court's requests 
when these requests are apparently based on the assumption that 
the maximum amount of space and staff will be necessary at any 
given time. Historically, these assumptions are then not 
realized, negating the requirement to provide full funding. In 
order for the Court's request to be considered in full, the 
Court is urged to request that judges who are eligible for 
senior status declare their intention at the earliest possible 
opportunity. The Court is further urged to communicate 
information in a transparent and ongoing manner so that 
decisions on funding can be made based on the most up-to-date 
information available.

               United States Court of International Trade


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill includes $19,605,000 for the United States Court 
of International Trade.

    Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and Other Judicial Services


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $4,801,369,000 for the salaries and 
expenses of the Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and Other 
Judicial Services. In addition, the bill includes $4,253,000 
for the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund.
    The Judicial Conference is urged to take into consideration 
district caseloads when prioritizing Federal courthouse 
construction, for example in McAllen, Texas in the Southern 
District of Texas, and other border districts which are 
experiencing high caseloads.

                           DEFENDER SERVICES

    The bill provides $849,400,000 for Defender Services. The 
bill provides a cost of living adjustment from $100 to $102 an 
hour for non-capital panel attorneys and an adjustment from 
$170 to $174 an hour for attorneys associated with capital 
cases. The bill further includes funding to provide a pay raise 
from $102 to $110 an hour for non-capital panel attorneys.

                    FEES OF JURORS AND COMMISSIONERS

    The bill provides $62,206,000 for the fees of Jurors and 
Commissioners.

                             COURT SECURITY

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill includes $428,858,000 for Court Security. The 
Judiciary is directed to report on the execution of the court 
security pilot program authorized in fiscal year 2008, 
including a cost comparison, 120 days after enactment of this 
Act.

           Administrative Office of the United States Courts


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $79,049,000 for the salaries and expenses 
of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.

                        Federal Judicial Center


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

the Federal Judicial Center. The Federal Judicial Center is 
directed to keep the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations informed of new staff hires throughout fiscal 
year 2009.

                       Judicial Retirement Funds


                    PAYMENT TO JUDICIARY TRUST FUNDS

    The bill provides $76,140,000 for payments for various

employment of expert and consultative services.
    Section 302 provides transfer authority in compliance with 
transfer and reprogramming guidelines set forth in section 604 
and 608 of this Act.
    Section 303 authorizes not to exceed $11,000 to be 
available for official receptions and representation.
    Section 304 requires a financial plan from the Judiciary

currently being performed by the Federal Protective Service.
    Section 307 includes language intended to provide equal 
treatment for Federal judges regarding life insurance premiums.
    Section 308 extends the sunset provision for certain 
procurement authorities.
    Section 309 extends the term of temporary judgeships in 
Kansas, Northern Ohio, and Hawaii for one year.
    Section 310 authorizes a cost of living adjustment for

                                TITLE IV


                          DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA


                             Federal Funds


              FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR RESIDENT TUITION SUPPORT

    The bill includes $35,100,000 for a Federal payment for 
tuition support. The District of Columbia is expected to adhere 
to the authorizing statute with regard to the administrative 
expenses associated with operation of this program.
    The Mayor of the District of Columbia and the State 
Education Office are directed to institute cost containment 
measures and report regularly on these efforts. Additionally, 
the District of Columbia is directed to explore other funding 
options to augment the Federal investment for this program. The 
District of Columbia is expected to address any insufficiency 
in funding through ratable reductions and other adjustments or 
prioritizations based on the income and need of eligible 
students.

   FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR EMERGENCY PLANNING AND SECURITY COSTS IN THE 
                          DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

    The bill provides $39,177,000 for a Federal payment to the 
District of Columbia for the costs associated with emergency 
planning and security. Within the amount provided, $352,000 is 
for the District of Columbia National Guard for a tuition 
assistance program.
    Due to estimates of the unprecedented number of people who 
visited Washington, DC for the Presidential Inauguration, and 
the stress this event placed on the resources of the nation's 
capital, the bill provides $38,825,000 for security and 
planning for this event. This is $23,825,000 more than the 
amount originally requested by the President and the District 
of Columbia. While all reports indicate that this event was 
unmatched in size, it may take some time for the actual costs 
to the District of Columbia to be clear. It is for that reason 
that the District of Columbia is urged to report to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations once the actual costs 
to the city are known. The District of Columbia is expected to 
include information about the amounts and other sources of 
Federal funding that were made available, or are anticipated, 
as a result of this event being designated a Federal emergency, 
when reporting to the Committees.
    Beginning in fiscal year 2010, the District of Columbia 
government is directed to submit a detailed budget 
justification with the funding request for this account. The 
District of Columbia is also directed to provide a report to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 60 
days of the end of the fiscal year, outlining the purposes and 
amounts expended using the funds, with attention given to 
detailing any deviation from the initial justification.

          FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURTS

    The bill provides $248,409,000 as a Federal payment to the 
District of Columbia Courts. Within this amount, $12,630,000 is 
for the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, $104,277,000 is 
for the District of Columbia Superior Court, $55,426,000 is for 
the District of Columbia Court System and $76,076,000 is for 
capital improvements to Court facilities. Increases for capital 
improvements above the amount requested in the President's 
budget should be directed to renovations for the Moultrie 
Courthouse cell block. The Courts are directed to keep the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations informed on the

                 FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

    The bill includes $54,000,000 for a Federal payment for 
school improvement, an increase of $13,200,000 over the fiscal 
year 2008 enacted level. Within this amount, $20,000,000 is for 
public schools, $20,000,000 is for public charter schools, and 
$14,000,000 is to provide opportunity scholarships.
    Funding provided for the private scholarship program shall 
be used for currently-enrolled participants rather than new 
applicants. The Chancellor of the District of Columbia Public 
Schools should promptly take steps to minimize potential 
disruption and ensure smooth transition for any students 
seeking enrollment in the public school system as a result of 
any changes made to the private scholarship program affecting 
periods after school year 2009-2010.
    The District is directed to submit, no later than 60 days

                                COLUMBIA

    The bill provides $3,387,500 for a Federal payment to the 
Executive Office of the Mayor of the District of Columbia to 
enhance the quality of life for District residents. Of this 
amount $1,250,000 shall be available to temporarily continue 
Federal benefits for low-income couples who decide to marry. 
Additionally, $2,137,500 shall be available to continue 
marriage development accounts in the District of Columbia. 
These funds shall be distributed to the partnership comprised 
of the National Center for Fathering, Life STARTS and the 
Capital Area Asset Building Corporation for continuation of the 
Marriage Development Accounts/Pre-marriage Development Accounts 
and the Together is Better Campaign Demonstration Program in 
the District of Columbia. The Mayor of the District of Columbia 
is directed to submit a detailed spending plan to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations, including performance 
measures, before these funds may be expended and within 30 days 
of enactment of this Act. The Mayor is further directed to 
submit a progress report on these activities no later than June 
1, 2009 and a final report describing outcomes achieved no 
later than February 1, 2010.

                       District of Columbia Funds

    The bill provides authority for the District of Columbia to 
spend $9,888,095,000 from the General Fund of the District of 
Columbia. Of the funds provided, $6,082,474,000 is from local 
funds, of which $420,119,000 is from dedicated taxes; 
$2,177,382,000 is from the Federal grant funds; $1,621,929,000

funds. In addition, $353,447,000 of prior year local funds are 
rescinded. In total, $1,092,030,000 is provided.
    Any changes to the financial plan as submitted by the 
District must follow the reprogramming guidelines.

                                TITLE V


                          INDEPENDENT AGENCIES


             Administrative Conference of the United States


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $1,500,000 for the Administrative 
Conference of the United States (ACUS). The newly reauthorized 
ACUS is an independent agency and advisory committee which was 
created to study administrative processes in order to recommend 
improvements to Congress and agencies.

               Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $1,000,000 for the Christopher Columbus 
Fellowship Foundation.

                  Commodity Futures Trading Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill includes $146,000,000 for the Commodity Futures 
Trading Commission. New authorities added through enactment of 
the 2008 farm bill (Public Law 110-246), coupled with 
escalating public concern about record energy and agricultural 
commodity prices, and compounded by a growing influx of 
financial funds into the futures markets, make the CFTC's 
present staffing situation unsustainable.
    The CFTC is directed to devote the resources provided above 
the budget request to hire up to 100 additional staff positions 
in fiscal year 2009 to conduct aggressive market surveillance 
and ensure vigorous enforcement of the laws.
    The CFTC is further directed to submit an expenditure plan 
for the increased appropriations provided in the bill above 
fiscal year 2008. The plan should include details for how the 
agency will assign up to 100 new staff positions across its 
program activities. The plan should also include budget object 
classification information, as proscribed by OMB Circular A-11, 
for how the agency will obligate the increased funding provided 
by the bill.

                   Consumer Product Safety Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $105,404,000 for the Consumer Product 
Safety Commission (CPSC). After years of budget cuts and 
staffing decline, Congress is providing the CPSC the additional 
resources it needs to substantially improve its product safety 
activities. CPSC will be expected to use this infusion of 
resources consistent with recently-enacted legislation to 
enhance efforts to keep unsafe products out of the marketplace.
    Of the amount provided, $17,098,000 is estimated for new 
responsibilities and requirements set by the Consumer Product 
Safety Improvement Act of 2008, including the development of a 
consumer product safety database; and $7,138,000 is estimated 
for activities under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa 
Safety Act. Funds are also available within the amount provided 
to assign a Regional Product Safety Officer and one locally-
employed staff position to the United States embassy in 
Beijing, China. This will better enable the CPSC to 
aggressively promote compliance with U.S. product safety 
standards, requirements, and expectations by Chinese and other 
Asian governments, manufacturers, and exporters.
    Also included is $412,000 for three additional positions to 
support the Inspector General of the CPSC. This includes two 
auditors and one administrative officer.
    The CPSC is directed to consider promulgating regulations 
that require cribs to be durability-tested and contain warning 
labels against the use of soft bedding.
    The CPSC is urged to increase its capacity for screening 
consumer products for lead content as those products arrive at 
ports of entry, including through the use of innovative 
technologies that enable fast and accurate on-site analysis of 
lead content.

                     Election Assistance Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $17,959,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Election Assistance Commission (EAC). This amount includes 
$750,000 for the Help America Vote College Program and $300,000 
for mock election programs. Both programs are competitive grant 
programs.
    The use of voting machines in student mock elections should 
be encouraged by the EAC in those jurisdictions that use voting 
machines. Such use will allow students, the Nation's voters of 
tomorrow, to become familiar with voting processes and 
technologies so that when they turn 18, they will be 
comfortable with their civic duties. Groups involved in student 
mock elections should work with local election authorities to 
promote the use of voting machines by students.
    Concerns exist regarding voters who face alternative 
language accessibility challenges, including Latino, Asian 
American, Pacific Islander and Native American and Alaskan 
Native voters. Such challenges have been well documented 
throughout recent election cycles and include both a failure of 
applicable jurisdictions to meet requirements of Section 203 of 
the Voting Rights Act, and general discrimination faced by such 
voters at polling places. Jurisdictions covered under Section 
203 of the Voting Rights Act must commit the financial 
resources necessary to meet the requirements of the Section and 
the requirements under Section 301(a)(4) of the Help America 
Vote Act (HAVA). Funding is essential to ensure that every 
eligible voter has an equal opportunity to cast a vote and have 
that vote counted, regardless of English proficiency. States 
should submit plans under HAVA that are consistent with 
providing sufficient funding levels for alternative language 
accessibility, and it is noted that states are obligated by 
statute to comply with Section 203 irrespective of the 
availability of HAVA funding. The EAC is directed, in 
consultation with the Department of Justice, to communicate 
with states to reiterate the requirements of HAVA and the 
Voting Rights Act and to direct states to revise their plans if 
they are not consistent with alternative language accessibility 
requirements under law. The EAC is also directed to report to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 90 
days of enactment of this Act, on how the EAC would develop a 
plan for a thorough assessment of state and local jurisdiction 
funding requirements for alternative language accessibility in 
jurisdictions covered by Section 203, including (but not 
limited to): 1) the type and quantity of data EAC would need to 
collect from the jurisdictions; 2) data quality considerations; 
3) resources required by the EAC for this assessment; and 4) 
statutory changes for Congress to consider that would better 
enable the EAC to perform the assessment.
    The bill includes a provision (section 625) modifying a 
deadline in HAVA relating to the replacement of punch card or 
lever voting machines. Any state with unused funds provided 
under section 102 of HAVA totaling $2,000,000 or more as of the 
date of enactment of this Act must submit a report to the 
Election Assistance Commission, not later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act, on the expected use of the funds and a 
timetable for the use of the funds. This timetable should 
specifically describe how the state will expend the funds by 
November 1, 2010. The EAC shall provide a copy of this report 
to the Committees on Appropriations. Any state receiving 
funding and failing to expend it within the stated time frame 
risks permanent loss of funding. States should communicate 
regularly with EAC if, and as, problems arise.

                        ELECTION REFORM PROGRAMS

    The bill provides $106,000,000 for election reform 
programs. Included in this amount is $100,000,000 for grants to 
states to help them meet HAVA requirements, $5,000,000 for 
grants relating to research on voting technology improvements 
as authorized by HAVA, and $1,000,000 for a pilot program to 
provide grants to states and units of local government to fund 
pre-election logic and accuracy testing of voting systems, as 
well as post-election voting system verification.
    The EAC is directed to use the $5,000,000 to fund research 
into technological solutions for voting systems that ensure 
accessibility for voters with disabilities so that such voters 
can vote privately and independently, including through the use 
of official paper ballots. Technological solutions developed 
through this Federally-funded research should be non-
proprietary and be made available to the public, including to 
voting system manufacturers. The EAC is also directed to report 
to the Committees on Appropriations, within 120 days of 
enactment of this Act, on a plan for the award of these grants, 
including criteria used to evaluate grant applications and the 
expected timing of grant awards. Within the $5,000,000 
provided, the EAC is expected to reimburse the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology for review and monitoring 
activities related to this program.
    Pre-election logic and accuracy testing will help to ensure 
that voting system equipment, including tabulation equipment, 
to be used in an upcoming election is properly prepared to 
support the election. Post-election voting system verification 
will assess the adequacy of controls in place prior to and 
during the election that can detect and correct, or prevent, 
anomalies from occurring in voting systems. The EAC is directed 
to report to the Committees on Appropriations, within 90 days 
of enactment of this Act, on a plan for the award of grants 
under this pilot program, including criteria used to evaluate 
grant applications and the expected timing of grant awards. The 
EAC shall also report to the Committees on Appropriations no 
later than March 30, 2010 for 2009 grants, and March 30, 2011 
for 2010 grants, on the results of the pilot program. These 
reports shall include recommendations regarding future actions 
or funding in relation to logic and accuracy testing and post-
election audits.

                   Federal Communications Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $341,875,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is to be 
derived from offsetting collections.
    The amount includes $3,000,000 for a competitive grant 
program for state broadband data and development. Recipients 
shall be non-profit entities, contribute non-Federal matching 
funds of not less than 20 percent, and demonstrate the 
capability to work with state agencies and private sector 
partners. Funding shall be used to establish local technology 
planning teams, create programs to improve computer ownership 
and Internet access for unserved and underserved populations, 
and create a geographic inventory map of broadband service to 
identify gaps in such service at the census block level.
    The bill includes a $25,480,000 transfer from the Universal 
Service Fund (USF) for additional audits and oversight 
activities. Audits should focus on all USF programs, including 
the high cost program, schools and libraries program, and the 
rural health care program. The FCC's Inspector General (IG) has 
reported that the schools and libraries program has a payment 
error rate of 13 percent, the high cost program has a payment 
error rate of 16.6 percent, and the rural health care program 
has a payment error rate of 20 percent, far exceeding the 
government-wide average payment error rate of 3 percent and the 
2.5 percent threshold that the Office of Management and Budget 
sets for a program to be ``at-risk.'' The FCC is directed to 
follow the recommendations of both the IG and the Government 
Accountability Office and to assume greater managerial control 
over these important programs, including improvement of the 
improper payment rates. In addition, the FCC and the IG are 
expected to have appropriate auditing standards and plans in 
place to ensure consistency in USF auditing. This shall include 
ensuring that auditors are knowledgeable of the USF program 
rules and industry standard auditing protocols.
    The bill includes funding to support the FCC's continued 
efforts to facilitate the nationwide transition of broadcast 
television signals from analog to digital. Concerns remain that 
many viewers may not be adequately prepared for the transition. 
This is particularly true with respect to disadvantaged and 
lower-income communities, including Hispanic, African American, 
disabled, and senior citizen communities. The FCC is directed 
to continue collaborating with the National Telecommunications 
and Information Administration, other government agencies, and 
in particular broadcasters and other private sector entities 
involved in the effort to ensure a smooth transition.
    It is important to provide all persons living under the 
American flag, including those living in the United States 
territories, equal access to communications services. The 
Communications Act of 1934 established the FCC to ``make 
available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United 
States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, 
religion, national origin, or sex, a rapid, efficient, Nation-
wide, and world-wide wire and radio communication service with 
adequate facilities at reasonable charges'' (emphasis added). 
All communication services should be equally available to 
persons living under the American flag outside of the 
contiguous 48 states. Satellite radio services, for example, 
are currently unavailable or have limited availability in 
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa, 
Alaska, and Hawaii. The FCC is strongly encouraged to consider 
equal access for persons living in these locations as it 
undertakes rulemakings and other actions that affect 
communications access.
    The FCC is directed to improve its responsiveness to 
congressional requests and inquiries, including letters. 
Responses to letters to the FCC from the Committees on 
Appropriations have sometimes taken months to receive. For 
example, the FCC took over four months to respond to a 2007 
letter from the Chairman of the House Financial Services 
Appropriations subcommittee regarding the communications access 
concerns described above. A letter from the Ranking Republican 
Member of the Senate Financial Services Appropriations 
subcommittee sent in April 2008 has not been responded to as of 
mid-January 2009. Another April 2008 letter from House Members 
on universal service funding for insular areas had also not 
been responded to as of mid-January 2009. Such delays are 
unacceptable.
    The 9/11 Commission identified the need to increase the 
assignment of spectrum for first responders in its July 2004 
report, and it is disappointing that the Federal Government has 
yet to address this critical need. The FCC is directed to work 
expeditiously to conduct a successful auction of the D Block 
spectrum so that first responders have an interoperable 
communications network.
    Public, educational, and governmental (PEG) programming 
serves the public interest by providing outlets for free 
speech, local information and opinions, and emergency 
communications. The FCC is urged to ensure that PEG channels 
remain on the basic service tier of programming and that cable 
service providers do not place impediments in the way of the 
public's access to PEG programming.
    The FCC is directed to issue a report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House Committee on 
Energy and Commerce, and the Senate Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation within 180 days of enactment of 
this Act on commercial proposals for broadcasting radio or 
television programs for reception onboard specially-equipped 
school buses operated by, or under contract with, local public 
educational agencies. The study shall examine the nature of the 
material proposed to be broadcast and whether it is age 
appropriate for the passengers; the amount and nature of 
commercial advertising to be broadcast; and whether such 
broadcasts for reception by public school buses are in the 
public interest.
    Concerns exist that emergency personnel and first 
responders along the northern border have had difficulty 
securing licenses for the appropriate communications frequency 
from the FCC. The FCC is directed to work with Canadian 
officials and applicants to devise a strategy for ensuring that 
licensing along the northern border proceeds without delay. The 
FCC is also directed to issue a report, in coordination with 
the Department of Homeland Security, to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations no later than 270 days after 
enactment of this Act that: 1) evaluates the Federal guidance 
provided to states working to establish interoperable first 
responder communications networks, 2) describes the degree to 
which the guidance is coordinated with the Canadian Government, 
and 3) identifies methods to avoid future coordination 
problems.
    The Committees on Appropriations applaud the Commission's 
work with the broadcasting industry to develop family-friendly 
programming and direct the Commission to pursue these efforts. 
As a result of the Commission's efforts, many cable and 
satellite television operators are developing family-friendly 
packages for consumers. The Committees direct the Commission to 
continue its endeavors with the broadcast industry to empower 
parents with the resources and tools to effectively navigate 
the various broadcast channels.

      ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

    Section 501 extends an exemption for the Universal Service 
Fund.
    Section 502 prohibits the Federal Communications Commission 
from changing rules governing the Universal Service Fund 
regarding single connection or primary line restrictions.

                 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation


                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

    The bill includes a transfer of $27,495,000 to fund the 
Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Corporation. The OIG's appropriations are derived 
from the Deposit Insurance Fund; however, if the OIG performed 
work in connection with the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance 
Corporation Resolution Fund, the cost of such work would be 
derived from that Fund.
    Enacted October 14, 2008, the Inspector General Reform Act 
of 2008 contains various requirements affecting the OIG and its 
operations, including the budgetary process. The requirements 
of the Act will be implemented as appropriate.

                      Federal Election Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $63,618,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
    The FEC is directed to report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations, no later than 270 days following 
enactment of this Act, on an assessment of the feasibility, 
including estimates of cost, time, and personnel required, to 
gather and make public data regarding the media expenditures of 
Federal campaigns.

                   Federal Labor Relations Authority


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $22,674,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA).
    The FLRA is directed to issue a report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, on all activities, including cost, that 
the FLRA has taken in the previous 24-month period regarding 
the integration and upgrade of information technology systems.

                        Federal Trade Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $259,200,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The bill also estimates 
that the amount provided will be partially offset by 
$168,000,000 of collections from Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger 
filing fees and $21,000,000 of collections from Do-Not-Call 
list fees.
    The appropriation provides the FTC with additional 
resources for consumer protection activities, including 
subprime lending and other financial services investigations, 
as well as activities to fight spam, spyware, and Internet 
fraud and deception. The FTC can do more to investigate, 
challenge, and take enforcement actions against mortgage 
brokers, lenders, and loan servicers who engage in deceptive or 
unfair marketing practices or fraudulent financial practices 
directed at subprime borrowers. Such practices have exacerbated 
the mortgage crisis by taking advantage of the most vulnerable 
borrowers, and the FTC needs to be aggressive in fighting this 
serious problem.
    The FTC is also encouraged to expand its enforcement and 
education activities particularly with respect to consumer 
protections for Hispanic, African American, disabled, and 
senior citizen populations. For example, the FTC has an 
aggressive campaign against consumer fraud in the Hispanic 
community. As recent immigrants, many Hispanics are unaware of 
the fraudulent practices perpetrated by some businesses and 
individuals against consumers. Consequently, many fall prey to 
such predators and suffer great financial losses. They may also 
be unaware of the remedies that are available to them if they 
are victimized. The FTC should continue to promote increased 
awareness through its Hispanic Outreach initiative, and it 
should work with all at-risk populations to ensure the highest 
possible level of consumer protection.
    The dramatic fluctuations in fuel prices raise serious 
concerns about market manipulation and anticompetitive behavior 
in the oil and natural gas industries. The FTC is encouraged to 
continue its investigations and other activities relating to 
these concerns. The FTC is directed to keep the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations apprised of findings made 
regarding fuel prices, as well as other planned activities and 
investigations regarding the oil and gas industries.
    The FTC, together with the Commissioner of the Food and 
Drug Administration, the Director of the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention, and the Secretary of Agriculture, who 
have expertise and experience in child nutrition, child health, 
psychology, education, marketing, and other fields relevant to 
food and beverage marketing and child nutrition standards shall 
establish the Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to 
Children (Working Group). The Working Group is directed to 
conduct a study and develop recommendations for standards for 
the marketing of food when such marketing targets children who 
are 17 years old or younger or when such food represents a 
significant component of the diets of children. In developing 
such standards, the Working Group is directed to consider (1) 
positive and negative contributions of nutrients, ingredients, 
and food (including calories, portion size, saturated fat, 
trans fat, sodium, added sugars, and the presence of nutrients, 
fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) to the diets of such 
children; and (2) evidence concerning the role of consumption 
of nutrients, ingredients, and foods in preventing or promoting 
the development of obesity among such children. The Working 
Group will determine the scope of the media to which such 
standards should apply. The Working Group shall submit to 
Congress, not later than July 15, 2010, a report containing the 
findings and recommendations of the Working Group.
    In September of 2000, the FTC released a report entitled: 
``Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children: A Review of 
Self-Regulation and Industry Practices in the Motion Picture, 
Music Recording & Electronic Game Industries.'' The report was 
highly critical of the entertainment industry and its 
persistent and calculated marketing of violent games, movies, 
and music to children. In response to this report, the 
entertainment industry has promised to impose tougher 
regulations on itself and to voluntarily comply with the 
report's recommendation. The FTC should continue with, and 
expand upon, its efforts in this area. The FTC is directed to 
continue to engage in consumer research and workshops, underage 
shopper-retail compliance surveys, and marketing data 
collection.
    Concerns have been raised regarding reports of explicit 
content that can be easily accessed by minors on increasingly 
popular virtual reality web programs. The FTC is directed to 
issue a consumer alert to educate parents on the content that 
is available to children on virtual reality web programs. In 
addition, no later than nine months after enactment of this 
Act, the FTC shall submit a report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations discussing the types of content on 
virtual reality sites and what steps, if any, these sites take 
to prevent minors from accessing content.

                    General Services Administration

    The General Services Administration (GSA) is directed to 
consider adoption of a formaldehyde standard consistent with 
the EPA standard in its ``green building'' certification and 
indoor air quality program and to specify formaldehyde-free 
building materials when constructing new or renovating existing 
Federal buildings.
    GSA is directed to promote energy efficiency through the 
use of revolving doors and report on its program 120 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    GSA is expected to undertake a stronger effort to promote 
the use of stairs in Federal buildings.
    GSA is encouraged to consider deploying re-usable plastic 
crates widely due to their environmental benefits in order to 
maximize resource conservation.
    The importance of the Ambassador Bridge continues to be 
recognized as a critical link to commerce between the United 
States and Canada. GSA is commended for leading the efforts of 
the Executive Branch in improving direct highway access to the 
Ambassador Bridge.
    GSA shall conduct a study of the measurable benefits and 
challenges associated with green roofs in GSA's owned and 
leased inventory, using the National Capital Region as an 
example.
    GSA should consider using historic preservation funding and 
other resources to ensure that the Custom House in New Orleans 
can be remodeled and used productively in a timely manner by 
Federal and non-profit tenants as well as the community.
    GSA is urged to reconsider the impact of Federal per diem 
rates upon the larger recovery efforts of New Orleans and to 
take steps to maintain or increase the per diem rate for fiscal 
year 2010, if appropriate.

    GSA is directed to provide a report, within 120 days of 
enactment of this Act citing three examples for which section 
412 authority could be an option.
    Concerns remain about the transportation plans for the 
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) consolidation at the St. 
Elizabeths campus. GSA and DHS are expected to coordinate with 
local transportation agencies to minimize the impact on 
neighboring communities.
    GSA is prohibited from using funds previously appropriated 
for the courthouse in Los Angeles for any other project. The 
GSA is further prohibited from using any proceeds from the sale 
of the land for this project, if one were to occur, on any 
other project.
    The United States Post Office and Federal Building in 
Danville, Virginia is an important component of the downtown 
Danville community. The GSA should make an effort to maintain 
the Federal Judiciary's presence in this building and to 
service the citizens of Danville.
    GSA is also urged to request funding for the construction 
of a courthouse in Chattanooga, Tennessee and in Mobile, 
Alabama.

                        REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS

    The bill limits resources for repairs and alterations to

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

    The bill provides $70,645,000 for operating expenses. This 
funding is intended to support 9 additional FTE for the Office 
of Emergency Response and Recovery. The funding level assumes a 
transfer of $18,828,000 to the Federal Citizen Services Fund 
beginning in fiscal year 2009.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

    The bill includes $54,000,000 for the Office of Inspector 
General (OIG) at GSA, which includes direct funding of 
$2,200,000 which was previously reimbursed to the OIG through 
internal GSA sources.

 Morris K. Udall Scholarship and Excellence in National Environmental 
                           Policy Foundation


 MORRIS K. UDALL SCHOLARSHIP AND EXCELLENCE IN NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL 
                           POLICY TRUST FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $3,750,000 for the Morris K. Udall 
Scholarship and Excellence in National Environmental Policy

and $50,000 shall be used to conduct financial audits.

                 ENVIRONMENTAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION FUND

    The bill includes $2,100,000 for the Environmental Dispute 
Resolution Fund to remain available until expended.

              National Archives and Records Administration


                           OPERATING EXPENSES

    The bill includes $330,308,000 for operating expenses of 
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The 
fiscal year 2008 Appropriations Act included funding for an 
increase in archivist staff, and these additional staff will 
continue to be funded in fiscal year 2009 within this 
appropriation. In addition, this bill includes $875,000 to 
provide a further increase in the number of archivist staff, in 
order to continue to reverse the staffing reductions that had 
occurred between fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2007. NARA is 
directed to report to the House and Senate Appropriations 
Committees, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, as to the 
specific steps it is taking to continue to restore NARA's 
archivist workforce levels.
    Also included in the amount is $1,000,000 for NARA's new 
Office of Government Information Services. The Administration 
had proposed, in its fiscal year 2009 budget request, to fund 
this office at the Department of Justice. This bill funds the 
office at NARA, as authorized by the OPEN Government Act of 
2007 (Public Law 110-175).
    In addition, of the amount provided, $650,000, available 
until September 30, 2010, is directed to be used to complete 
the review of U.S. Government documents pertaining to the 
activities of the Nazis and the Japanese Imperial Government. 
These documents are being declassified pursuant to the Nazi War 
Crimes Disclosure Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-246) and the 
Japanese Imperial Government Disclosure Act of 2000 (Public Law 
106-567). These laws directed that Government agencies ensure 
the declassification of files pertaining to the activities of 
the Nazis and the Japanese Imperial Government. In 2007, 
following the declassification and review of thousands of files 
containing newly-disclosed information about the Nazis and the 
Japanese Imperial Government, NARA issued a report summarizing 
the new historical insights gained as a result of the NARA-
supervised review of these documents. However, a number of 
additional U.S. Army and CIA/OSS documents were discovered too 
late in the process to be included in NARA's 2007 report. This 
funding is directed to be used to report separately on these 
remaining documents. NARA is directed to report to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, with a proposed schedule for completing 
the review and historical analysis of these documents and 
releasing a supplemental report, to serve as a companion to 
NARA's 2007 report.

                      ELECTRONIC RECORDS ARCHIVES

    The bill provides $67,008,000 for the Electronic Records 
Archives (ERA) project. The bill also retains the directive 
requiring NARA to submit, and for the Committees on 
Appropriations to approve, a GAO-reviewed spending plan for ERA 
prior to the obligation of funds.
    Although there is some evidence of improvement in the ERA 
program, the Appropriations Committees continue to be concerned 
about the program, NARA's oversight of the program, and the 
reliability of the work of the ERA contractor, especially given 
the previous cost overrun, widespread replacement of contractor 
staff, and nine month delay in achievement of Initial Operating 
Capability. In order to overcome the schedule delays that 
occurred in 2007 and 2008, and to prepare NARA to receive the 
electronic records of the outgoing Administration in time for 
the January 20, 2009 change in Administrations, NARA and the 
contractor have had to develop a two-pronged development 
strategy, focusing on building a base ERA system, plus a second 
system devoted to receiving the Executive Office of the 
President electronic records of the outgoing Administration.
    NARA is directed to provide quarterly ERA progress reports, 
beginning no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, to 
both GAO and to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations, and to immediately report to the Committees and 
to GAO any potential delays, cost overruns, or other problems 
associated with ERA development. As recommended by GAO, the 
quarterly progress reports should include summary measures of 
project performance against ERA cost and schedule estimates.

                        REPAIRS AND RESTORATION

    The bill provides $50,711,000 for repairs and restoration. 
This amount includes: (1) $17,500,000 for necessary expenses 
related to the repair and renovation of the Franklin D. 
Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, NY, 
which NARA has listed as its top capital improvement priority; 
(2) $22,000,000 to complete construction of an addition to the 
John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, MA; and (3) 
$2,000,000 to complete the repair and restoration of the plaza 
that surrounds the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library 
in Austin, TX.
    The Appropriations Committees recognize that they have more 
than adequately provided funding for NARA's portion of the LBJ 
Presidential Library plaza project; therefore, the Library and 
the university are on notice not to return to the Committees 
for any further funding for this project.

 NATIONAL HISTORICAL PUBLICATIONS AND RECORDS COMMISSION GRANTS PROGRAM

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill includes $11,250,000 for NARA's grant program. Of 
the amount provided, $2,000,000 is to be transferred to the 
operating expenses account.

 ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION--NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

    The bill includes an administrative provision directing 
NARA to include in its annual budget submission each year a 
comprehensive capital needs assessment for its entire 
infrastructure of presidential libraries and records 
facilities. Funding should be included in each year's budget to 
address the highest priorities, including projects already 
underway.

                  National Credit Union Administration


                       CENTRAL LIQUIDITY FACILITY

    The bill provides the National Credit Union Administration 
(NCUA)--Central Liquidity Facility (CLF) the ability to lend, 
during fiscal year 2009, up to the maximum level provided for 
by section 307(a)(4)(A) of the Federal Credit Union Act. This 
provision gives the NCUA flexibility to assist with credit 
unions' financial liquidity during the current economic 
downturn. The NCUA will be expected to keep the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations fully informed on the 
activities of the CLF.
    The bill also provides a limitation of $1,250,000 for the 
administrative expenses of the CLF.

               COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REVOLVING LOAN FUND

    The bill provides $1,000,000 for the Community Development 
Revolving Loan Fund for technical assistance grants.

                      Office of Government Ethics


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $13,000,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Office of Government Ethics.

                     Office of Personnel Management


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                  (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF TRUST FUNDS)

    The bill provides a general fund appropriation of 
$92,829,000 for salaries and expenses of the Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM). The amount includes, to remain 
available until expended, $5,851,000 for the Enterprise Human 
Resources Integration project and $1,351,000 for the Human 
Resources Line of Business project.
    The bill also provides $118,082,000 for administrative 
expenses to be transferred from the appropriate trust funds. 
This amount includes $15,200,000, to remain available until 
expended, for retirement systems modernization, or the RetireEZ 
program. Work on RetireEZ's calculation engine was halted in 
2008 due to contract performance issues. Getting this program 
back on track with appropriate management leadership, controls, 
and oversight, and with the goal of ensuring accurate and 
timely computation of annuities for all Federal retirees, is a 
high priority. The executive leadership of OPM must dedicate 
the highest level of support possible to ensure the success of 
the program. While the prompt implementation of this program is 
also important, the leadership is cautioned not to set an 
unworkable timetable as a goal to the detriment of system 
accuracy and performance. The Government Accountability Office 
should continue to assess the status of OPM's efforts toward 
developing and implementing RetireEZ, as well as evaluate the 
effectiveness of the agency's management for the modernization 
initiative. OPM should continue to provide the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations with quarterly reports on the 
implementation of RetireEZ. These reports should reflect a 
detailed, complete, and accurate assessment of the status of 
the program.
    OPM's Federal Human Capital Survey provides important data 
for independent analyses of Federal employee satisfaction. OPM 
shall continue to make agencies' survey data publicly available 
in a consistent and consolidated format, and in a timely 
manner.
    Sixty percent of the Federal workforce will be eligible to 
retire in the next 10 years, presenting an enormous challenge 
to the Federal Government and the delivery of services to the 
public. OPM is encouraged to develop approaches that agencies 
can use to attract the best and brightest talent; match 
employee skills and abilities with specific agency missions and 
goals; ensure that talented employees are engaged and empowered 
to use their talent; improve leadership development; and ensure 
high performance from the workforce.
    OPM is urged to increase its efforts to encourage Federal 
agencies to reach out to diverse populations, including ethnic 
minorities, in their recruitment efforts. A study group 
relating to the employment of Hispanics in the Federal 
Government has been formed by the Equal Employment Opportunity 
Commission and the Social Security Administration, with 
representation from other agencies. OPM should review the 
findings of this study group for possible approaches to improve 
Hispanic recruitment, retention, and advancement government-
wide.
    Federal agencies should also increase recruitment efforts 
within the United States territories. The territories are home 
to thousands of U.S. citizens who may not be fully aware of the 
employment opportunities that exist within the Federal 
Government. Some agencies have taken steps to recruit from the 
territories, but others have not yet. OPM should spearhead the 
effort to encourage individual agency human resource offices to 
take advantage of the talent pool that exists in the U.S. 
territories.
    OPM has improved communication with Federal agencies about 
dependent care programs. Many of OPM's plans to improve 
communications on employee benefits should be ongoing 
activities. No later than 45 days after enactment of this Act, 
OPM shall report to the Committees on Appropriations timelines 
for activities, and the feasibility of whether some of these 
activities should be annual activities. Included in the report 
should be timelines relating to the expansion of the Open 
Season marketing campaign; targeting agencies with low 
enrollment; outreach to affinity groups; tuition assistance 
advertising; and OPM website improvements.
    OPM, as the personnel agency for the Federal Government, 
should be committed to helping the Federal Government become 
the model employer Congress and the law mandate that it be, 
with regard to individuals with disabilities. Disability 
employment issues have been given inadequate attention at OPM 
over the past several years, resulting in a need for increased 
focus and action. This is particularly disappointing given that 
60 percent of the Federal workforce will be eligible for 
retirement within 10 years and the increased hiring of disabled 
employees could help mitigate this retirement wave. OPM is 
directed to review outstanding disability concerns brought to 
OPM's attention, conduct outreach with disability groups about 
these concerns, take steps to improve matters, and advise the 
Committees on Appropriations as improvements are achieved.
    OPM is directed to carry out the Intergovernmental 
Personnel Act Mobility Program with special attention provided 
to Federal agencies employing more than 2,000 nurses. OPM may 
develop guidelines that provide Federal agencies direction or 
guidance in using their authority under the Intergovernmental 
Personnel Act Mobility Program to provide financial or other 
assistance: (1) to Federal employees holding a degree in 
nursing to accept an assignment to teach in an accredited 
school of nursing or to obtain the training necessary to become 
a nurse faculty member in exchange for a commitment from the 
individual to serve an additional term of Federal service or a 
commitment from the school of nursing to take additional steps 
to increase its number of nursing students that will commit to 
Federal service upon graduation; and (2) to Federal employees 
who have served as a nurse in the Federal Government, are 
eligible for retirement, and are qualified to teach to expedite 
the transition of such individuals into nurse faculty 
positions. OPM is directed to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 120 days after enactment of this 
Act on how the Intergovernmental Personnel Act Mobility Program 
is being used to alleviate the nursing shortage and on the 
demonstrable steps OPM has taken to encourage government-
employed nurses to teach at accredited schools of nursing.
    OPM is encouraged to report on employment for the blind, 
including the opinions of Federal employee labor organizations, 
by July 15, 2009.
    Concerns have been raised with respect to wage pay for 
Federal employees who work within the New Orleans, Louisiana 
Appropriated Fund Federal Wage System (FWS) area. OPM has 
authority to waive the cap on such pay if it determines that an 
exception is necessary to ensure the recruitment or retention 
of qualified employees. Existing OPM regulations specify the 
procedures which should be followed by Federal agencies to 
request such a waiver. In view of the continuing effects caused 
by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the New Orleans area, 
the Department of Defense (DoD), as the lead FWS employer in 
the region, is strongly urged to promptly submit a consolidated 
waiver request to OPM consistent with existing regulations, and 
OPM is likewise urged to act swiftly on any such request, to 
include promptly notifying the Committees on Appropriations of 
its determination. DoD is further urged to consult with OPM 
prior to making such a request to ensure that the approval 
process does not become overly bureaucratic or complicated by 
unnecessary paperwork, thus delaying the ability to promptly 
address recruitment and retention challenges in the New Orleans 
area.
    Approximately 10,000 private sector employers, including 
more than half of the Fortune 500 companies, offer benefits to 
the domestic partners of their employees. OPM should consider 
taking steps to extend health care benefits to Federal 
employees' domestic partners.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                  (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF TRUST FUNDS)

    The bill provides $1,828,000 as a general fund 
appropriation for salaries and expenses of the Office of 
Inspector General. In addition, the bill provides $18,755,000 
from OPM trust funds. Additional funding is provided to augment 
base resources and permit hiring of additional audit and 
investigative staff.

      GOVERNMENT PAYMENT FOR ANNUITANTS, EMPLOYEES HEALTH BENEFITS

    The bill provides such sums as necessary for health 
benefits payments.

       GOVERNMENT PAYMENT FOR ANNUITANTS, EMPLOYEE LIFE INSURANCE

                       Office of Special Counsel


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $17,468,000 for salaries and expenses for 
the Office of Special Counsel.

                      Postal Regulatory Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill includes $14,043,000 for the Postal Regulatory 
Commission.

              Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $1,500,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, to remain 
available for obligation until September 30, 2010. The Board 
has not yet been reconstituted as required by Public Law 110-
53, and, therefore, the new entity's funding requirements have 
not been firmly established or justified. Once reconstituted, 
the Board should present the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations with a detailed budget plan as quickly as 
possible.

                   Securities and Exchange Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $943,000,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
    An increase of $37,000,000 over the fiscal year 2008 
enacted level and $30,000,000 over the requested level is 
provided to support the SEC's performance-based pay system, as 
well as to enhance enforcement, capital market oversight, and 
investor protection activities, including investigations of 
accounting fraud, market manipulation, insider trading, and 
investment scams that target seniors and low-income 
communities. The SEC should also increase its efforts to 
improve oversight of investment banking institutions. 
Additional resources should also be provided to the Office of 
Investor Education and Advocacy to expand investor education 
and financial literacy activities.
    With this significant increase in funding comes an 
increased responsibility on the part of the SEC to aggressively 
safeguard the investing public. Failures to properly 
investigate and take appropriate actions in fraud cases will 
not be tolerated. The SEC must be vigilant in its enforcement 
of securities laws.
    Concerns exist that American investors may be unwittingly 
investing in companies with ties to countries that sponsor 
terrorism or are linked to human rights violations. A company's 
association with sponsors of terrorism and human rights abuses, 
no matter how large or small, can have a materially adverse 
result on a public company's operations, financial condition, 
earnings, and stock prices, all of which can negatively affect 
the value of an investment. In order to protect American 
investors' savings and to disclose these business relationships 
to investors, an Office of Global Security Risk was established 
within the Division of Corporation Finance. The work of this 
Office should remain a high priority, and the SEC is directed 
to continue to submit quarterly reports to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the Office's activities.
    Small businesses have raised concerns with the burden that 
compliance with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 
places on them. The SEC is studying the costs and benefits of 
section 404 compliance. The SEC shall keep the Committees on 
Appropriations informed of the progress of the study and the 
results of the study when completed.
    The growth of unregulated hedge funds in recent years has 
impacted systemic risk in the financial markets and has raised 
investor protection concerns. The SEC is currently evaluating 
draft rules that address the issue of the qualifications of 
accredited investors in hedge funds. The SEC is encouraged to 
take action on these rules consistent with strong investor 
protections. The SEC is also urged to maintain the maximum 
possible effort in combating fraud that may be associated with 
hedge fund investing.

                        Selective Service System


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill includes $22,000,000 for the Selective Service 
System, equal to the President's budget request and the fiscal 
year 2008 enacted level. The bill also includes language to 
allow the President to waive provisions of 31 U.S.C. 1341 when 
it is necessary for the interest of national defense.

                     Small Business Administration


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The bill provides $386,896,000 for the salaries and 
expenses account of the Small Business Administration (SBA). An 
additional amount for initiatives related to small business 
development and entrepreneurship is provided under SBA 
administrative provisions.
    Of the amounts provided under this heading, $224,608,000 is 
for operating expenses of the SBA. In addition, a total of 
$147,480,000 from other SBA accounts may be transferred to and 
merged with the salaries and expenses account, resulting in a 
total availability for operating expenses of $372,088,000. The 
additional amount consists of $138,480,000 from the Business 
Loans Program account and $9,000,000 (provided as part of 
Public Law 110-329) from the Disaster Loans Program account for 
the administrative expenses related to those accounts.
    Non-Credit Programs.--No less than the following amounts 
shall be dedicated to these non-credit programs of the SBA:

                        [In thousands of dollars]

Veterans Programs.......................................          $1,200
7(j) Technical Assistance...............................           2,380
Small Business Development Centers......................         110,000
SCORE...................................................           5,000
Women's Business Centers................................          13,750
Women's Business Council................................             775
Native American Outreach................................           1,033
Drug-free Workplace Program.............................           1,000

PRIME...................................................           5,000
HUBZone.................................................           2,150
                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
        Total, non-credit programs......................         162,288

    The SBA shall not reduce these noncredit programs to fund 
operating costs. In addition, the National Ombudsman; the 
Office of Advocacy, including support for the Advocacy 
Database; international trade programs; and the defense 
transition program should receive no less than the fiscal year 
2008 level of funding.
    The bill provides $1,200,000 for veterans programs to 
support additional grants to veterans business outreach 
centers. When determining the allocation of the additional 
funding, the SBA is encouraged to consider centers with 
significant experience in conducting outreach to veterans, 
including those previously receiving Federal funding.
    Funds are included within operating expenses to support the 
modernization of SBA's loan management and accounting systems. 
Current systems, which are outdated and have limited 
capabilities, must be replaced with new systems that will 
enhance the management of SBA's $85,000,000,000 loan portfolio. 
However, there are significant risks inherent in such a 
relatively large acquisition. To mitigate risks, SBA should 
dedicate in-house staff to quality assurance and contractor 
oversight, as well as to provide for agency-wide management, 
coordination, and implementation of the new system. SBA should 
also continue to consult with other Federal agencies regarding 
best practices involving design, acquisition, and 
implementation of new systems and regarding contractor 
oversight. SBA shall submit a quarterly written report to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations summarizing the 
agency's progress regarding the modernization effort, including 
milestones planned and achieved, and progress on cost and 
schedule.
    Funds are also included, within the amount provided, for 
504 loan guarantee program liquidation activities and for 
additional oversight of lenders participating in the 7(a) loan 
guarantee program. SBA should address the Inspector General's 
recommendations on the oversight of SBA Supervised Lenders, 
including the hiring of additional lender oversight staff as 
necessary.
    Within the funds provided under this heading, SBA is 
directed to provide $300,000 to the Office of Advocacy to 
conduct the study on the impact of broadband speed and price on 
small businesses as directed under section 105 of Public Law 
110-385.
    The amount provided also includes $2,649,000 over the 
requested amount for the direct funding of SBA's Business 
Gateway e-gov initiative. Direct funding for the initiative 
within SBA will improve administrative efficiency by 
eliminating the need for as many as 80 funding transfers 
annually from 21 participating agencies. SBA should budget for 
direct funding for this initiative within its fiscal year 2010 
budget request.
    The Committees on Appropriations are aware that there are 
certain rural areas that are underutilized business areas, but 
are excluded from HUBZone designation based on the current 
program authorization. SBA is encouraged to continue to examine 
ways to incorporate these areas into any future revisions of 
the Small Business Act.
    The SBA is encouraged to consider options for donating, or 
offering at discounted prices, used equipment, including 
computers, for appropriate use by small businesses located in 
the United States. The SBA is directed to report to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 270 days after 
enactment of this Act on potential plans for such donations.
    SBA shall submit a report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 270 days of enactment of 
this Act on the Microloan program. The report shall include 
information regarding the number and dollar amount of lending 
and potential unmet need in the program. The report shall also 
address steps SBA has taken to implement recommendations of the 
2003 report from the SBA Inspector General, particularly 
regarding the enforcement of reporting requirements in the 
Microloan program.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

    The bill provides $16,750,000 for the Office of Inspector 
General of the Small Business Administration.

contractor oversight, implementation, and progress regarding 
budget and schedule.

    The bill provides $2,000,000 for the Surety Bond Guarantees 
Revolving Fund.

                     BUSINESS LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

    The bill provides $140,980,000 for the Business Loans

business loan programs. The amount provided for administrative 
expenses may be transferred to and merged with the

business loan program, up to $7,500,000,000 for the 504

development and entrepreneurship initiatives, including

                   PAYMENT TO THE POSTAL SERVICE FUND

forgone and $82,831,000 for an advance appropriation for fiscal 
year 2010 to continue free mail for the blind and overseas 
voters.
    The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 
required the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) to submit a 
report to Congress in December of 2008 on universal postal 
service and the postal monopoly in the United States. The 
report will also include any recommended changes to universal 
service and the postal monopoly, and analyses of the costs and 
benefits of providing such services under current law. The U.S. 
Postal Service should keep Congress apprised of any actions the 
Postal Service plans to take on the PRC recommendations, 
including actions, if applicable, relating to five-day delivery 
service and its impact on fuel consumption.
    The Postal Service should continue its efforts to upgrade 
postal operations and improve customer service in Chicago, and 
to assess service needs, reestablish postal facilities, improve 
mail delivery, and enhance product and service offerings to 
customers in New Orleans and other Louisiana communities.
    The Postal Service should make every effort to maintain the 
U.S. Post Office in Danville, Virginia, and provide full postal 
services to the citizens of Danville.
    The bill requires the Postal Service to keep the 
Appropriations Committees promptly and regularly informed on 
its mail treatment processes and to consult with the Committees 
on its future plans for securing mail irradiation services, 
including costs.

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    The following sections describe general provisions for 
agencies covered by this Act, agencies government-wide, and the 
District of Columbia. The Financial Services and General 
Government Appropriations Act, 2008, included several general 
provisions that were made permanent by inclusion of language 
indicating futurity. As noted by the United States Government 
Accountability Office:
    ``A provision contained in an annual appropriation act is 
not to be construed to be permanent legislation unless the 
language used therein or the nature of the provision makes it 
clear that Congress intended it to be permanent. The 
presumption can be overcome if the provision uses language 
indicating futurity or if the provision is of a general 
character bearing no relation to the object of the 
appropriation.
    In analyzing a particular provision, the starting point in 
ascertaining Congress's intent is, as it must be, the language 
of the statute. The question to ask is whether the provision 
uses ``words of futurity.'' The most common word of futurity is 
``hereafter'' and provisions using this term have often been 
construed as permanent.'' (Principles of Federal Appropriations 
Law, Third Edition, Volume I, page 2-34)
    Several provisions in the 2008 Act included the word 
``hereafter'' as an indication of permanence. These provisions 
include sections 701 (concerning funds to pay travel for 
immediate families of employees serving abroad in cases of 
death or life threatening illness), 709 (concerning nominees 
disapproved by the Senate), 716 (concerning workplace 
discrimination and sexual harassment), and 737(b) and (c) 
(concerning E-Government). This statement reiterates that these 
provisions were made permanent.

                                TITLE VI
