                              Clerk's Note

    This committee print provides a compilation of the enacted 
text and applicable explanatory material for the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2019 (H.J. Res. 31, P.L. 116-6).


    This Act consists of 12 divisions related to Appropriations 
matters (divisions A through L). The Act also includes 10 
additional divisions unrelated to appropriations matters 
(divisions M through V). This compilation includes only the 
divisions related to Appropriations matters. It also includes 
the front section of the Act, which contains provisions 
applicable to the entire Act.
    Divisions A through L are the products of negotiations 
between the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on final 
fiscal year 2018 appropriations for all 12 annual 
appropriations bills.
    The legislative text resulting from these negotiations was 
submitted by Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen of the House 
Committee on Appropriations as a House amendment to the Senate 
amendment to an unrelated bill pending in the House, H.R. 1625. 
The House agreed to the measure on March 22, 2018, and the 
Senate agreed to the measure on March 23, 2018.\1\ The 
President signed the legislation on March 23, 2018, and it 
became Public Law 115-141.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ The House agreed to the amendment by a vote of 256-167 (Roll 
Call No. 127). The Senate agreed to the amendment by a vote of 65-32 
(Record Vote No. 63).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Because an ``amendments-between-the-Houses'' process was 
used instead of a conference committee, there is no conference 
report and no ``joint Explanatory Statement of the managers'' 
for H.R. 1625. An Explanatory Statement relating to the House 
amendment of H.R. 1625 was filed by Chairman Frelinghuysen in 
the Congressional Record of March 22, 2018.\2\  Section 4 of 
the Act provides that this Explanatory Statement ``shall have 
the same effect with respect to the allocation of funds and 
implementation of divisions A through L of this Act as if it 
were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of 
conference.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\ The Explanatory Statement appears on pages H2045-H2901 in Books 
II and III of the March 22, 2018, Congressional Record.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    For the convenience of users, the legislative text of each 
appropriations division is paired with the applicable section 
of the Explanatory Statement.

Committees, along with a justification for why such activities 
are required.
      The Department shall continue to submit quarterly 
obligation plans, which provide transparency to Congress and 
departmental leadership on the status of activities and 
programs. In lieu of the direction in House Report 115-948 
regarding submission of obligation plans under a continuing 
funding resolution, the Department is directed to report the 
amounts actually executed in the first quarter against the 
apportionment level for each component for the first quarter. 
Beginning with the second quarter, the Department shall submit 
plans showing planned and actual obligations by quarter.
      Section 101 of this Act requires the Department's 
submission of a monthly budget and staffing report every 30 
days after the last day of each month. In order to provide 
flexibility at the end of the fiscal year, the Department is 
directed to submit the October 2019 report to the Committees 
not later than December 30, 2019. The Department is also 
reminded that these reports are to be posted on the 
Department's website.
      OCIO and Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer are 
directed to update the Committees on the status of their cyber

explore firing range solutions for components; provide 
quarterly briefings on summary ratings for all Level 1 and 2 
acquisition programs; and direct components to report to the 
Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) on obligations and 
expenditures.
      With the adoption of a common appropriations structure, 
the Department is now poised to standardize its periods of 
availability (POAs) to allow for more consistent planning, 
programming, budgeting, and execution for three of the four 
major appropriation account types: Operations and Support 
(O&S); Procurement, Construction, and Improvements (PC&I); and 
Research and Development (R&D). With limited exception, the O&S 
accounts shall have one year of availability; the PC&I accounts 
shall have five years of availability for construction and 
three years for all other activities; and the R&D accounts 
shall have two years of availability. As part of future budget 
requests, the Department shall thoroughly justify any necessary

CBP recruitment and applicant processing, a reduction of 
$17,600,000 from the request, and $20,000,000 for Border Patrol 
relocation and retention, a reduction of $15,098,000 from the 
request. The conferees provide an increase of $20,000,000 for 
the expansion of the National Targeting Center, a decrease of 
$6,896,000 from the request. Additionally, the agreement 
includes a decrease of $35,000,000 from Border Patrol vehicle 
recapitalization.
      Following the recent deaths of migrants in custody, CBP 
promulgated new interim standard operating procedures to 
improve the agency's awareness of migrant welfare and response 
to emergency situations. CBP is directed to brief the 
Committees, within 60 days of the date of enactment of this 
Act, on its progress in establishing more permanent plans, 
standards, and protocols, to include the following: health 
assessment standards and response protocols for medical 
emergencies, including transportation between CBP locations and 
to hospitals or other medical response sites; requirements for 
ensuring that CBP provides water, nutrition, hygiene, and 
sanitation needs of migrants in temporary CBP custody; 
standards for temporary holding facilities that ensure such 
facilities are humane and used appropriately for single adults, 
families, and unaccompanied children; protocols for responding 
to surges in migrants crossing the border; and a plan for 
providing training to federal and contract personnel who 
interact with migrants in CBP custody. As part of the briefing, 
CBP shall also present a schedule for finalizing and 
implementing these plans, protocols, and standards; estimates 
of the associated short-term and longer-term funding 
requirements; and any changes to legal authorities that might 
be necessary. To facilitate these additional requirements, the 
conferees provide $192,700,000 above the request to include 
$128,000,000 for contract medical professionals, $40,200,000 
for increased consumable commodities such as food, infant 
formula and diapers; and $24,500,000 for increased 
transportation between CBP facilities.
      When CBP is responsible for the custody of siblings who 
are unaccompanied alien children, the Commissioner shall, to 
the extent practicable and when it is in the best interest of 
the children, place such siblings in the same facility and keep 
such siblings together before the Department of Health and 
Human Services assumes custody pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1232(b). 
When considering whether a family should remain together while 
in custody, the Commissioner should consider the criminal 
history of the parent, safety and comfort of the child, 
immigration history, and physical and mental health of all 
members of the family. DHS is directed to ensure, when 
appropriate and feasible, that separated family units are 
reunited and transferred together prior to removal, release 
from CBP custody, or transfer to Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement custody.
      As directed in the explanatory statement accompanying 
Public Law 115-141, CBP shall continue to brief the Committees 
quarterly on its progress toward the development of a 
comprehensive assessment of CBP-wide capability gaps, to 
include personnel, and directs CBP to brief monthly on efforts 
to develop and utilize a Border Patrol workforce staffing model 
and to continue these briefings until the model is mature and 
used to allocate personnel.
      Also as directed in the explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 115-141, CBP shall continue to post to 
its website a combined table of CBP interdictions of currency 
and major categories of drugs, delineated by seizures at and 
between the Ports of Entry (POEs), and at checkpoints.
      As previously directed in House Report 115-239, CBP shall 
continue to report to the Committees the following: the number 
of detainees held by CBP for more than 48 and 72 hours, 
respectively; allegations related to employee corruption and 
use of force abuses; and checkpoint, transportation check, and 
roving patrol stop operations. This information should be 
updated monthly and should include a list of all CBP facilities 
used for temporarily detaining aliens, including the year-to-
date average daily population and the daily population at these 
facilities at the time of publication.
      The conferees direct CBP to provide regular updates on 
the implementation of the working group convened to improve 
coordination between U.S. Border Patrol and AMO.
      Within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act, CBP 
shall brief the Committees on its search and rescue efforts for 
fiscal year 2018, as detailed in House Report 115-239, with a 
particular emphasis on the Border Patrol's policies, 
methodology, and oversight related to how migrant deaths are 
counted. Additionally, CBP is directed to report the death of 
any individual in CBP custody, in the temporary custody of 
other law enforcement agencies on behalf of CBP, or subsequent 
to the use of force by CBP personnel within 24 hours, including 
relevant details regarding the circumstances of the fatality.
      As directed in House Report 115-948, CBP shall provide a 
briefing to the Committees on the results of the Incident-
Driven Video Recording Systems pilot upon its completion and 
assessment, including details on lessons learned for policy, 
privacy, and resource requirements.
      The conferees direct CBP to provide the Committees with 
data pertaining to the number and efficacy of roving patrol 
stops and to release this data publicly on a semiannual basis, 
including a description of CBP policies governing enforcement 
actions of this nature; the total number of roving patrol stops 
made by CBP personnel, including the number resulting in 
arrest; and the date, location, duration, type of, and reason 
for each roving patrol stop and each resulting arrest. All 
personally identifiable information about specific individuals 
shall be redacted from these reports.
      The conferees direct the Department to submit a report 
that details its prioritization of POE infrastructure capital 
investment projects, the methods and models used to determine 
prioritization, and an overview of Public-Private Partnership 
agreements. The conferees encourage CBP to work with the 
General Services Administration and the Office of Management 
and Budget on the annual 5-year Land POEs modernization plan, 
which is based on CBP's operational priorities and should 
include plans to complete the modernization of pre-9/11 POEs 
along the northern border. Specific attention should be paid to 
the health, safety, and welfare needs of CBPOs.
      The conferees remain concerned with the duty drawback 
program, including the Accelerated Payment privilege and 
directs CBP to comply with the direction in House Report 115-
948.
      To improve oversight on the execution of funding for 
personnel, CBP is directed to submit a report not later than 15 
days after the end of each month on staffing numbers, to 
include gains and losses by pay period during the month.
      The conferees direct GAO to conduct a study and report to 
the Committees within 240 days of the date of enactment of this 
Act, on the advantages and disadvantages of the current 
retrospective duty system in comparison to those of a 
prospective duty system, with the goal of minimizing 
uncollected duties.
      CBP and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services are 
directed to jointly brief the Committees on current challenges 
related to the implementation of section 289 of the Immigration 
and Nationality Act, related to the right of entry of American 
Indians into the United States from Canada. The briefing shall 
include legislative options for how to more equitably implement 
the intent of section 289 while also addressing appropriate 
security concerns. The Department shall also make this briefing 
available to the House Judiciary Committee and the Senate 
Committee on the Judiciary, upon request.

              PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

      The conference agreement provides $2,515,878,000 for 
procurement, construction, and improvements, an increase of 
$674,330,000 above the request. Of the total, $870,656,000 is 
available until September 30, 2021, and $1,645,222,000 is 
available until September 30, 2023.
      The agreement includes $1,375,000,000 for additional 
pedestrian fencing to include $345,000,000 for approximately 11 
miles of levee pedestrian fencing and $1,030,000,000 for 
approximately 44 miles of primary pedestrian fencing in the Rio 
Grande Valley Sector of Texas.
      The conferees also provide $100,000,000 for border 
surveillance technology to include technologies such as fixed 
towers, remote video surveillance systems, mobile surveillance 
capability on the northern border, and innovative towers. The 
conferees note the significant amount of carryover funding 
totaling over $200,000,000 provided in fiscal year 2018 that 
has not been placed on contract which include significant 
balances for cross border tunnel threat; integrated fixed 
towers, linear ground detection including fiber optics, mobile 
video surveillance systems; remote video surveillance systems, 
and small unmanned aerial systems.
      Not later than 30 days prior to any construction contract 
award for physical barriers funded in this Act, CBP shall 
submit a report to the Committees on the estimated amount of 
private property necessary to be obtained, the estimated 
associated cost, efforts to consult with stakeholders, and 
timeline for acquisition.
      The agreement includes $564,000,000 for non-intrusive 
inspection equipment at land ports of entry. Additionally, 
$6,000,000 has been included for outbound enforcement 
equipment; $45,000,000 for inspection equipment at 
international mail and express consignment facilities; and 
$10,000,000 for automated commercial environment enhancements 
to include post core development and collections.
      The conferees include $112,612,000 for airframes and 
sensors, including three multirole enforcement aircraft, and 
$14,500,000 for watercraft, including coastal interceptor 
vessels.
      The conferees provide a total of $270,222,000 for 
construction and facility improvements, an increase of 
$222,000,000 above the request. The amount includes 
$192,000,000 for a new central processing facility in El Paso, 
Texas, $30,000,000 for renovations to the existing McAllen 
Central Processing Center, $33,447,000 for a new Border Patrol 
Station as requested, and $14,775,000 for Office of Field 
Operations facilities as requested. The conferees expect the 
new El Paso facility and renovations to the existing processing 
center in McAllen, Texas, will make them more appropriate for 
use as temporary holding sites for individuals in CBP custody, 
particularly families and unaccompanied children. At a minimum, 
these facilities should be equipped with appropriate 
temperature controls and avoid chain-link fence-type 
enclosures. CBP is also encouraged to use a more appropriate 
blanket type than currently utilized.
      The conferees provide $18,544,000 for revenue 
modernization, as requested.

                U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

      The conference agreement provides $7,542,153,000 for 
Operations and Support. Of the total amount provided, 
$75,448,000 is made available until September 30, 2020, of 
which $13,700,000 is for the Visa Security Program; $26,498,000 
is for wiretaps that are necessary to support dismantling 
transnational criminal organizations that threaten the national 
security and public safety of the United States; $15,250,000 is 
for half of the increase described below for family case 
management; and $20,000,000 is for half of the increase 
described below for ICE management of immigration cases of 
enrollees in the alternatives to detention program.
      The conference agreement includes $47,250,000 for the 
2019 pay raise and does not assume the use of $207,600,000 in 
Immigration Examination User Fee revenue to partially offset 
costs for eligible activities in this account due to concerns 
with the impact to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 
(USCIS) operations and the growing backlog in applications for 
immigration benefits. The conference agreement assumes a net 
reduction below the request of $80,578,000 for salaries and 
benefits based on updated payroll analyses provided by U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in January of 2019 
indicating that payroll costs to sustain staffing levels 
achieved by the end of fiscal year 2018 would fall short of the 
amounts proposed in the budget request.
      The conferees direct the Department and ICE that while 
Section 503 of this Act provides limited authority to address 
unanticipated, unavoidable detention needs within the 
Operations and Support appropriation, the budgetary impacts of 
any detention and enforcement policy must be carefully 
considered prior to implementation. Accordingly, within 60 days 
of the date of enactment of this Act, and monthly thereafter, 
ICE shall provide a briefing to the Committees on a detailed 
operational and spending plan to show how ICE will execute its 
budget within the funding levels appropriated. Such plan shall 
not assume the use of transfer or reprogramming authorities, 
shall show anticipated budget allocations at the field office 
level, and shall track actual monthly obligations and updated 
projected obligations against the original projections for each 
of the remaining months of the fiscal year. In the event that 
ICE transfers or reprograms funding, these plans shall be 
updated to accompany any notification that is required by 
Section 503.
      Within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act, ICE 
is directed to brief the Committees on its plan and schedule 
for completing its ongoing evaluation of the potential use of 
body worn cameras in its field enforcement activities. The 
conferees note that CBP has evaluated the use of body worn 
cameras in its operations and encourages ICE to coordinate with 
CBP on lessons learned.
      ICE shall continue to report and make public the 
following, as detailed in House Report 115-239, and shall 
follow the previously directed timeframes unless otherwise 
specified:
       Semi-annual update on UACs who age out while in 
Office of Refugee Resettlement custody;
       Secure Communities report;
       Requirements related to detention facility 
inspections reports;
       Death in custody reporting, with subsequent 
reporting to be released within 90 days of the initial report 
unless additional time is required for redacting personally 
identifiable information;
       Access to facilities;
       Detainee locator information;
       Changes to the current detention facility 
category and inspection framework;
       Compliance with the 2011 Performance Based 
National Detention Standards (PBNDS 2011) and PREA 
requirements; and
       Weekly rate of operations for Custody 
Operations.
      The Department shall continue to submit data on the 
deportation of parents of U.S.-born children semiannually, as 
in prior years, and shall also report semiannually on removals 
of honorably discharged members of the armed services.
      The conferees direct ICE, in conjunction with CBP, USCIS, 
and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, to provide the 
Committee with regular updates on apprehensions, the average 
daily population (ADP) in ICE detention, asylum claims, the 
number of prosecution referrals to the Department of Justice 
(DOJ), and the number of referrals accepted by DOJ. These 
updates should also include information on how the Department 
is executing its current year and fiscal year 2019 funding 
compared to the enacted appropriations levels.
      Within 60 days of enactment of this Act, the Director 
shall provide one or more national, nonprofit organizations 
that have experience advising on legal resources available to 
immigrants, asylum-seekers, and refugees with the location of 
all over-72 hour detention facilities, including those owned by 
ICE, by contractors, or by units of state or local government 
in the event such organizations are willing to identify pro 
bono immigration legal services providers in the area of each 
facility. ICE shall also display this information on an easily 
accessible area of its website, or provide a link to the 
organizations' websites if such information is provided there. 
To ensure the information is up-to-date, the Director shall 
notify the organizations prior to any change to the inventory 
or location of the above mentioned detention facilities.
      The conferees are concerned about the results of a recent 
Office of Inspector General audit finding that ``[i]nstead of 
holding facilities accountable through financial penalties, ICE 
issued waivers to facilities with deficient conditions, seeking 
to exempt them from complying with certain standards.'' 
Further, the audit revealed that ``ICE has no formal policies 
and procedures to govern the waiver process, has allowed 
officials without clear authority to grant waivers, and does 
not ensure key stakeholders have access to approved waivers.'' 
To ensure appropriate oversight of waiver authority, the ICE 
Director shall have sole authority to approve waivers, and 
shall notify the Committees of such waivers within 3 business 
days of such approval.

                    Homeland Security Investigations

      Domestic Investigations.--The conferees include the 
following increases above the request: $7,200,000 for 
additional Computer Forensics Analysts, including for the Child 
Victim Identification Program; $1,500,000 for paid internships 
for the Human Exploitation Rescue Operative Child-Rescue Corps 
program; $1,300,000 for an interoperable, nationwide 
information sharing platform related to the relationships of 
gang members, the identification of trafficking routes, and 
federal coordination between ICE, CBP, and DOJ; and $2,000,000 
for upgrades to the Sexual Offender Registration and 
Notification Act exchange portal. The conference agreement also 
provides the requested $6,498,000 for additional wiretaps to 
support dismantling Transnational Criminal Organizations that 
threaten the national security and public safety of the United 
States.
      The conferees understand the importance of enhancing the 
capacity of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and its 
partners to investigate criminal activity on the Internet to 
combat opioids/fentanyl. Accordingly, the conferees include an 
increase of $31,605,000 above the request for up to 155 
additional criminal investigators and 72 support personnel 
dedicated to enhancing opioid/fentanyl-related investigations. 
HSI shall brief the Committees not later than 30 days after the 
date of enactment of this Act on its plan for executing these 
funds.
      ICE plays a critical role in investigating criminal 
organizations that traffic individuals into and within the 
United States. The conferees encourage ICE to work with 
appropriate nonprofit organizations and victim service 
providers to improve the training of ICE officers in the field 
to assist in the identification of human trafficking victims 
and provide appropriate referrals to victim service 
organizations.
      The conferees include an increase of $7,500,000 above the 
request for the HSI Victim Assistance Program for additional 
Victim Assistance Specialists (VASs), Forensic Interview 
Specialists, and related personnel. These additional resources 
are intended to ensure that HSI's victim assistance capability 
is commensurate with that of other federal law enforcement 
agencies, with the goal of placing of a VAS with every human 
trafficking task force in which HSI participates.
      The total includes not less than $305,000 for promoting 
public awareness of the child pornography tip line and not less 
than $15,770,000 for investigations of forced labor law 
violations, to include forced child labor. ICE is directed to 
continue to submit an annual report on expenditures and 
performance metrics associated with forced labor law 
enforcement activities.
      The conference agreement provides not less than 
$15,000,000 for intellectual property law enforcement through 
the work of HSI and the National Intellectual Property Rights 
(IPR) Coordination Center. ICE is directed to ensure that the 
National IPR Center is properly staffed to facilitate continued 
enforcement actions against the theft of U.S. intellectual 
property, particularly online, as required in Public Law 114-
125. Based on a new wave of digital copyright piracy involving 
devices and software that connect consumers' televisions 
directly to copyright-theft sites, the conferees direct ICE to 
increase investigations and enforcement to thwart illicit 
streaming involving media boxes and televisions.
      International Investigations.--The conference agreement 
provides an additional $4,780,000 over fiscal year 2018 levels 
for 12 additional special agents for international 
investigations and 2 support staff, whose focus will be to 
enhance opioid/fentanyl-related investigations. The conference 
agreement annualizes growth to overseas operations funded in 
fiscal year 2018, for continued efforts to interrupt the 
illicit movement of people and goods prior to their arrival in 
the United States.

                   Enforcement and Removal Operations

      Custody Operations.--The conference agreement includes 
increases above the request of $12,450,000 for 112 additional 
Health Service Corps staff assigned to detention facilities and 
$4,000,000 to bring detention facility compliance with Prison 
Rape Elimination Act (PREA) requirements up to 97 percent, from 
the current 86 percent.
      In the execution of these activities, ICE is directed to 
ensure that field personnel, including ERO officers, are 
appropriately trained on all agency policies and procedures 
involving detained parents and legal guardians, including ICE's 
directive on the Detention and Removal of Alien Parents or 
Legal Guardians and time of arrest protocols to minimize harm 
to children.
      ICE is directed to prioritize the use of ATD programs for 
families, including family case management, for which the bill 
provides significant additional resources. ICE should continue 
working with the Executive Office for Immigration Review at the 
Department of Justice to prioritize the adjudication timeline 
for the cases of individuals enrolled in ATD, particularly 
those of families and asylum seekers.
      An administrative provision in the bill requires ICE to 
provide weekly reports to the Committees and to the public on 
the average daily population, average length of stay, and total 
year-to-date book-ins of single adults and of members of family 
units detained in ICE custody, delineated by arresting agency; 
the daily counts of single adults and family units in detention 
custody; the number of individuals in detention custody with 
positive fear determinations and the average and median post-
determination length of stay for such individuals; and the 
total number of enrollees in Alternatives to Detention, 
including the Family Case Management Program, along with the 
average length of participation.
      ICE is also directed to make public the following 
statistics, to be updated monthly: the average bond amount for 
detainees; the percentage of detainees released after paying a 
bond; the average length of detention for individuals who are 
released on bond; and the average length of detention for 
individuals offered release on bond who remain in detention 
because they do not pay the bond.
      All forms required to be signed by a detained person must 
be available in both English and Spanish. ICE is directed to 
report to the Committees within 90 days of the date of 
enactment of this Act on a plan and timeline for achieving this 
goal.
      Additionally, ICE is directed to provide a semi-annual 
report to the Committees detailing the number of individuals, 
by field office, who are detained by ICE for removal from the 
United States but are subsequently determined to be U.S. 
Citizens, along with the average and median lengths of stay in 
detention for such individuals. The report should also describe 
ICE's process for adjudicating claims of U.S. citizenship by 
individuals it arrests for removal from the United States; 
major impediments to more quickly resolving such claims; and 
ICE's efforts to mitigate those impediments. The first report 
is due within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act.
      ICE shall provide a report to the Committees, not later 
than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
identifying for each detention contract, Inter-governmental 
Service Agreement (IGSA), or Inter-governmental Agreement 
(IGA), the detention standards under which it is inspected and 
the status of its compliance with PREA standards; all fiscal 
year 2018 costs by category, as appropriate; and the number of 
authorized and average number of on-board medical and mental 
health personnel, if any, during the fiscal year. In addition, 
the ICE Director shall continue to report to the Committees at 
least 30 days in advance of entering into any new or 
significantly modified detention contract or other detention 
agreement that does not meet or exceed the Performance-Based 
National Detention Standards 2011, as revised in 2016. Each 
report shall include a justification for why such contract or 
agreement requires different standards.
      Within 30 days of the date of enactment of this Act, ICE 
is directed to brief the Committees on its progress in 
implementing the five recommendations made by OIG in its recent 
report on detention standards (OIG-18-67). In addition, GAO is 
directed to follow-up on the OIG report by examining ICE's 
management and oversight of detention facilities, including the 
extent to which DHS has:
            (1) effective mechanisms in place to monitor 
        compliance with applicable detention facility 
        standards, including implementation of corrective 
        actions; and
            (2) effective processes in place for obtaining and 
        addressing complaints from aliens in detention 
        facilities.
      GAO shall provide a preliminary briefing to the 
Committees on its findings within 180 days of the date of 
enactment of this Act.
      Individuals detained in ICE detention facilities can 
voluntarily participate in work programs at those facilities, 
doing jobs such as cooking, laundry, and providing janitorial 
services. OIG is directed to review ICE policies and oversight 
of contract detention facilities related to detainee work 
programs, with a particular focus on how ICE can ensure that 
such work is strictly voluntary.
      ICE should ensure that operators of family detention 
facilities do not prevent co-sleeping by parents and their 
young children, which can be a source of comfort to children in 
unfamiliar circumstances.
      Within 30 days of the date of enactment of this Act and 
monthly thereafter, ICE shall report to the Committees on the 
fiscal year-to-date criminality breakdown of the individuals in 
its custody, as well as the estimated criminality breakdown 
associated with its fiscal year-to-date average daily 
population, and the criminality breakdown of its daily 
population as of the date of the report.
      Criminal Alien Program.--ICE is directed to ensure that 
every 287(g) jurisdiction has established, and routinely and 
formally meets with, steering committees of external 
stakeholders to discuss the performance and oversight of 
287(g)-designated officers. ICE shall continue to provide an 
annual 287(g) report, as detailed in House Report 115-239, 
which should also describe any plans for future expansion of or 
changes to the use of its 287(g) authority.
      The conferees also expect ICE, the Office of Inspector 
General (OIG), and the Office for Civil Rights and Civil 
Liberties to continue providing rigorous oversight of the 
287(g) program, and directs ICE to notify the Committees prior 
to implementing any significant changes to the program, 
including any changes to training requirements, data 
collection, or selection criteria.
      Alternatives to Detention.--The conferees include 
increases above the request of $28,000,000 to increase the 
number of participants in Alternatives to Detention (ATD) 
programs to 100,000, up from 82,000 assumed in the request; 
$40,000,000 for additional ICE staffing dedicated to the 
management of ATD immigration cases, particularly those of 
asylum applicants; and $30,500,000 for the Family Case 
Management Program (FCMP), which can help improve compliance 
with immigration court obligations by helping families' access 
community-based support for basic housing, healthcare, legal, 
and educational needs. Within 90 days of the date of enactment 
of this Act, ICE shall brief the Committees on a plan for a 
program within the FCMP managed by non-profit organizations 
that have experience in connecting families with community-
based services.
      ICE is directed to continue to provide performance 
reports to the Committees on the ATD program, as described in 
House Report 114-668. The analysis should also include ATD 
enrollment by field office, type of supervision, and arresting 
agency, as well as the average length of enrollment by type of 
supervision. In addition, the report shall include ICE guidance 
for referral, placement, escalation, and de-escalation 
decisions in ATD programs.
      ICE is directed to ensure that access to ``know your 
rights'' presentations is available at the point of enrollment 
for all ATD programming, and to explore opportunities to work 
with community based organizations that directly provide case 
management services, including referrals to services already 
available in the community that are associated with higher ATD 
compliance rates. ICE shall brief the Committees not later than 
60 days after the date of enactment of this Act on any 
challenges it encounters to achieving this requirement.
      Further, ICE is directed to continue exploring the use of 
available ATD models on an ongoing basis, prioritize the use of 
such detention alternatives for immigrant children and their 
families, where appropriate, and release individuals and their 
family members who pass credible fear screening and do not 
present a public safety or flight risk.
      Within 60 days of the date of enactment of this Act, ICE 
is directed to brief the Committees on an analysis of each 
active Alternatives to Detention program within the last 5 
years. This report shall include compliance with court 
appearances, immigration appointments, and removal orders, cost 
per individual served, response times to requests for legal 
counsel, family contact, and medical treatment (including 
mental health services). This report shall also provide data on 
whether noncompliant ATD participants were actively in the ATD 
program, such as whether participants were expected to be 
wearing monitors at the time of noncompliance.
      Within the total, not less than $3,000,000 is included to 
continue to enable certain aliens on the non-detained docket to 
check-in with ICE via self-service kiosks at ERO field offices. 
The goal of the program is to reduce the time and resources 
that deportation officers devote to managing encounters and 
check-ins with applicable aliens, and allowing those officer 
resources to devote more time and effort to improving 
attendance at immigration hearings and compliance with removal 
orders.
      Transportation and Removal Program.--In recent months, 
ICE has collaborated with organizations that provide temporary 
shelter to migrants released from ICE custody. Within the 
$114,147,000 increase above the fiscal year 2018 funding level 
for the Transportation and Removal Program, ICE is directed to 
provide for the transportation of migrants to such shelters 
based on where collaborating organizations have open sheltering 
capacity, including during surge periods. ICE shall immediately 
notify the Committees in advance of any decision to deny such 
transportation.

                            Mission Support

      The conferees provide an increase above the request of 
$6,975,000 for staffing at the Office of Detention Oversight 
within the Office of Professional Responsibility. ICE is 
directed to increase the number of inspections of over-72 hour 
detention facilities from once every three years to twice per 
year not later than the end of fiscal year 2019.

(FAMS) reflects the fiscal year 2019 requirement, given the 
restoration of funds for VIPR teams. In lieu of the direction 
in the Senate Report 115-283, TSA shall submit semiannual 
reports on FAMS mission coverage, staffing levels, and hiring 
rates.
      As directed in House Report 115-948, TSA shall make 
available a framework for establishing operations centers to 
promote interagency response and coordination at federalized

      TITLE III--PROTECTION, PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY

            Cybersecurity And Infrastructure Security Agency

      Public Law 115-278 authorized the reorganization of the 
National Protection and Programs Directorate into a new 
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). In 
concert with that authorization, appropriations for the Office 
of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) have been realigned to 
the Management Directorate. While the Secretary determines an 
organizational placement for the Federal Protective Service 
(FPS), as directed by Public Law 115-278, funding for FPS is 
provided within CISA.
      CISA is directed to provide a briefing, not later than 90 
days of the date of enactment of this Act and semiannually 
thereafter, on the updated timelines and acquisition strategies 
for the National Cybersecurity Protection System (NCPS) program 
and the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program, 
including the accelerated deployment of CDM Phase 4 data 
protection management (Digital Rights Management, Data Masking, 
Micro-Segmentation, Enhanced Encryption, Mobile Device 
Management, etc.) across all ``.gov'' civilian agencies.
      Advanced persistent threats targeting critical 
infrastructure sectors in the United States is cause for 
concern. Not later than 60 days of the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Department is directed to brief the Committees on 
the status of implementing the recommendations of the 2017 
report of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, 
Securing Cyber Assets: Addressing Urgent Cyber Threats to 
Critical Infrastructure.
      To provide greater flexibility, CISA PPAs are included in 
the control table for purposes of reprograming and transfer 
thresholds at the second level PPA. It is expected that CISA 
will include in its budget request greater detail, to at least 
the third level PPA, so Congress can continue fiscal oversight 
and not have to return to a greater level of specificity in the 
control table.

                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

      A total of $1,345,802,000 is provided for Operations and 
Support, of which $18,650,000 is made available until September 
30, 2020, for the National Infrastructure Simulation Analysis 
Center (NISAC). The conferees include a total of $33,000,000 
for the Election Infrastructure Security Initiative (EISI) and 
$7,397,000 for the 2019 pay raise as described through CISA 
PPAs.

                             CYBERSECURITY

      The Department has a significant role in assisting state 
and local election officials as they prepare for federal 
elections. While an OIG investigation on the status of the 
Department's assistance to States continues, to further aid the 
Committees' oversight, the GAO shall examine how the Department 
is implementing its key responsibilities in overseeing 
protection of the elections critical infrastructure subsector 
and the reported benefits and challenges of such efforts. GAO 
shall provide a report not later than 180 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act.
      CISA is directed to explore opportunities for 
facilitating partnerships, such as those described in House 
report 115-948, between and among federal, state, local, and 
private entities on the use of testing and modeling to evaluate 
cyber vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure and work with 
the Chief of the National Guard Bureau and other stakeholders 
to identify best practices for such testing and modeling. CISA 
shall brief the Committee not later than 180 days after the 
date of enactment of this Act on how CISA, the National Guard, 
and other stakeholders could play a larger role in facilitating 
such partnerships.
      CISA is directed to brief the Committees, not later than 
90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, on the 
feasibility of establishing a pilot for a hacking competition 
that would allow independent cyber experts to identify 
cybersecurity vulnerabilities in election systems across the 
country, with participants potentially eligible to receive 
rewards, as determined by the Secretary, based upon their 
findings. The participation of state and local election 
officials, including any access to their networks, should be 
completely voluntary. State and local election officials, as 
well as election service providers, should be appropriately 
notified about relevant cybersecurity vulnerabilities 
discovered through the competition.
      Cyber Readiness and Response.--The conferees include an 
increase above the request of $29,379,000 for EISI; $3,000,000

an increase of $9,738,000 above the request to restore the 
proposed reduction to the NISAC and an increase of $500,000 for 
EISI.
      In July 2018, the Secretary announced the redesignation 
of the Office of Cyber and Infrastructure Analysis (OCIA) as 
the National Risk Management Center (NRMC) in an effort to 
refocus risk management efforts across the various critical 
infrastructure sectors. As part of the effort, CISA aims to 
improve security and resiliency outcomes by focusing more on 
sector-wide and cross-sector risks and dependencies. The 
conferees include a realignment of $17,216,000 into this PPA 
for such activities. Not later than 90 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the NRMC is directed to provide a 
detailed spend plan for its fiscal year 2019 activities. This 
spend plan should highlight the operational change in strategy 
from prior years, to include the anticipated outcome resulting 
from these efforts.
      The conferees include an increase of $4,962,000 above the 
request for risk analyses of industrial control systems. The 
conferees also encourage CISA to use commercial, human-led 
threat behavioral analysis and technology. NRMC is also 
encouraged to employ private sector, industry-specific threat 
intelligence and best practices to better characterize 
potential consequences to other critical infrastructure sectors 
during a systemic cyber event.
      Critical Infrastructure Situational Awareness.--The 
conferees include an increase of $3,000,000 above the request 
to improve and enhance capabilities for near-real-time 
monitoring of the inter-connected dependencies of the electric 
power subsector and other critical infrastructure sectors. The 
conferees also include an increase of $775,000 to support 
regionalization efforts to improve service delivery to the 
field.

include an increase of $1,700,000 above the request for the 
software assurance program and $2,000,000 to continue efforts 
to ensure the integrity of supply chains.

                       FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE

      A total of $1,527,110,000 is made available for the FPS. 
This funding is generated by collections of security fees from 
federal agencies based on security services provided by FPS.
      Not later than 90 days of the date of enactment of this 
Act, FPS shall provide a briefing to the Committees as 
described in Senate Report 115-283. In addition, FPS is 
directed to provide an expenditure plan to the Committees, not 
later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
detailing planned obligations for operating expenses and 
countermeasures by region and facility.
      A new revenue model study completed by the Administration 
and FPS, which proposed a method to more accurately assign 
security costs to users, is currently scheduled for 
implementation in fiscal year 2020. A provision is included 
requiring FPS to evaluate alternative approaches and methods to 
fund ``Countermeasures'' security costs and provide a report to 
the Committees on its conclusions not later than 180 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act. These approaches and methods 
should demonstrate efficiency, focusing on innovative 
countermeasures which are planned for in advance, and solutions 
that take into consideration a federal agency's own investments 
in security.

        TITLE IV--RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TRAINING, AND SERVICES

           United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

      The conference agreement provides an increase of $607,000 
above the request for the 2019 pay raise.
      The conferees direct the Department, in consultation with 
the Department of Labor to review options for addressing the 
problem of unavailability of H-2B visas for employers that need 
workers to start work late in a semiannual period of 
availability and to report to the Committees on these options 
not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this 
Act.

applicants who can demonstrate an inability to pay the 
naturalization fee. USCIS is also encouraged to consider 
whether the current naturalization fee is a barrier to 
naturalization for those earning between 150 percent and 200 
percent of the federal poverty guidelines, who are not 
currently eligible for a fee waiver.
      The conferees encourage USCIS to maintain naturalization 
fees at an affordable level while also focusing on reducing the 
backlog of applicants. As USCIS undertakes its next biennial 
fee study, the conferees urge the agency to include in its 
final report an estimate of the resources required to clear the 
backlog of applications for temporary status, adjustment of 
status, and naturalization, as well as reduce future wait times 
from the submission to initial adjudication to no more than one 
year for all petitions processed by the agency. Additionally, 
USCIS is directed to brief the Committees on specific actions, 
if any, that the agency is taking to reduce the backlog of 
asylum applications while ensuring that asylum applicants are 
properly reviewed for eligibility and for security purposes.
      The conferees urge USCIS to dedicate more resources to U 
visa adjudication, specifically increasing trained U visa 
adjudicators by at least 60 additional agents, and provide 
adequate resources to hire staff and train adjudicators for the 
purpose of reviewing applications within six months of receipt.

              PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

      The Procurement, Construction, and Improvements account 
provides funds for the acquisition and deployment of the E-
Verify program, which is funded at the request level of

      The conferees support the proposal to expand the Work for 
Others (WFO) program within NBACC and direct the Science and 
Technology Directorate (S&T) to provide a briefing within 30 
days after the date of enactment of this Act, on the process 
established to document, streamline and approve WFO projects to 
include the following performance metrics: number of projects 
and total revenue generated for each of the next 5 fiscal 
years.
      The conference agreement supports the transfer of 
National Bio and Agro-defense Facility operations funding and 
some personnel to the Agriculture Research Service within the 
Department of Agriculture. The agreement also aligns with the 
budget proposal for S&T to share funding responsibility for 
NBACC with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

             Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office

      Consistent with Public Law 115-387, the Countering 
Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Act of 2018, the conference 
agreement provides funding for the newly authorized CWMD 
Office, which consolidates the operations of the Domestic 
Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), the Office of Health Affairs 
(OHA), and certain related activities and personnel from other 
components of the Department.

                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

      Within the total amount provided, not less than $500,000 
is to continue implementation of the voluntary anthrax vaccine 
program for emergency responders. The CWMD Office shall brief 
the Committees not later than 45 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act on the status of implementation of this 
program, including any plans for expansion beyond the initial 
pilot in the first community and associated costs.
      The conferees understand the CWMD Office is in the 
process of completing an integrated biosurveillance program. 
However, it is unclear whether the requested funding will fully 
support the capabilities currently delivered by the National 
Biosurveillance Integration Center (NBIC) and the Joint 
Analysis Center. Therefore, within the amount provided, 
$5,000,000 above the request is to continue supporting the 
capabilities provided by NBIC and the Joint Analysis Center in 
order to provide situational awareness of biological threats 
for the Department, as well as federal, state, local, and 
private sectors partners.
      The conferees encourage the CWMD Office to continue its 
engagement in support of a visualization tool that incorporates 
data from state and local entities that can serve as a bio-
preparedness tool for emergency response, emergency management, 
and law enforcement at all levels of government.
      The $25,200,000 requested under this heading for the 
acquisition of portable detection systems is instead provided 
under Procurement, Construction, and Improvements.
      In lieu of direction regarding the non-pay level of 
funding, the CWMD Office shall provide a report on the non-pay 
funding level.

              PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

      The conferees provide $100,096,000 for the acquisition 
and deployment of large scale and portable detection systems to 
detect radiological, nuclear, biological, and chemical threats.

                        RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      The conferees provide $83,043,000, as requested.

                           FEDERAL ASSISTANCE

      Of the total amount provided, $1,500,000 is for research 
and development of an active neutron interrogation system as 
described in Senate report 115-283.
      The CWMD Office is directed to continue funding for 
research and development of new generation semiconductor 
materials.

                      TITLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS

             (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

      Section 501. The conference agreement continues a 
provision directing that no part of any appropriation shall 
remain available for obligation beyond the current year unless 
expressly provided.
      Section 502. The conference agreement continues a 
provision providing authority to merge unexpended balances of 
prior appropriations with new appropriation accounts, to be 
used for the same purpose, subject to reprogramming guidelines.
      Section 503. The conference agreement continues a 
provision limiting reprogramming authority for funds within an 
appropriation and providing limited authority for transfers 
between appropriations. All components funded by the Department 
of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2019, must comply with 
these transfer and reprogramming requirements.
      The Department must notify the Committees on 
Appropriations prior to each reprogramming of funds that would 
reduce programs, projects, activities, or personnel by ten 
percent or more. Notifications are also required for each 
reprogramming of funds that would increase a program, project, 
or activity by more than $5,000,000 or ten percent, whichever 
is less. The Department must submit these notifications to the 
Committees on Appropriations at least 15 days in advance of any 
such reprogramming.
      For purposes of reprogramming notifications, ``program, 
project, or activity'' is defined as an amount identified in 
the detailed funding table located at the end of this statement 
or an amount directed for a specific purpose in this statement. 
Also for purposes of reprogramming notifications, the creation 
of a new program, project, or activity is defined as any 
significant new activity that has not been explicitly justified 
to the Congress in budget justification material and for which 
funds have not been appropriated by the Congress. For further 
guidance when determining which movements of funds are subject 
to section 503, the Department is reminded to follow GAO's 
definition of ``program, project, or activity'' as detailed in 
the GAO's A Glossary of Terms Used in the Federal Budget 
Process. Within 30 days of the date of enactment of this Act, 
the Department shall submit to the Committees a table 
delineating PPAs subject to section 503 notification 
requirements, as defined in this paragraph.
      Limited transfer authority is provided to give the 
Department flexibility in responding to emerging requirements 
and significant changes in circumstances, but is not primarily 
intended to facilitate the implementation of new programs, 
projects, or activities that were not proposed in a formal 
budget submission. Transfers may not reduce accounts by more 
than five percent or increase accounts by more than ten 
percent. The Committees on Appropriations must be notified 30 
days in advance of any transfer.
      To avoid violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act, the 
Secretary shall ensure that any transfer of funds is carried 
out in compliance with the limitations and requirements of 
section 503(b). In particular, the Secretary should ensure that 
any such transfers adhere to the opinion of the Comptroller 
General's decision in the Matter of: John D. Webster, Director, 
Financial Services, Library of Congress, dated November 7, 
1997, with regard to the definition of an appropriation subject 
to transfer limitations.
      The Department shall submit notifications on a timely 
basis and provide complete explanations of the proposed 
reallocations, including detailed justifications for the 
increases and offsets, and any specific impact the proposed 
changes would have on the budget request for the following 
fiscal year and future-year appropriations requirements. Each 
notification submitted to the Committees should include a 
detailed table showing the proposed revisions to funding and 
FTE--at the account, program, project, and activity level--for 
the current fiscal year, along with any funding and FTE impacts 
on the budget year.
      The Department shall manage its programs, projects, and 
activities within the levels appropriated, and should only 
submit reprogramming or transfer notifications in cases of 
unforeseeable and compelling circumstances that could not have 
been predicted when formulating the budget request for the 
current fiscal year. When the Department submits a 
reprogramming or transfer notification and does not receive 
identical responses from the House and Senate Committees, it is 
expected to reconcile the differences before proceeding.
      The Department is not to submit a reprogramming or 
transfer notification after June 30 except in extraordinary 
circumstances that imminently threaten the safety of human life 
or the protection of property. If an above-threshold 
reprogramming or a transfer is needed after June 30, the 
notification should contain sufficient documentation as to why 
it meets this statutory exception.
      Deobligated funds are also subject to the reprogramming 
and transfer limitations and requirements set forth in section 
503.
      Section 503(f) authorizes the Secretary to transfer up to 
$20,000,000 to address immigration emergencies after notifying 
the Committees of such transfer at least five days in advance.
      Section 504. The conference agreement continues a 
provision by reference, prohibiting funds appropriated or 
otherwise made available to the Department to make payment to 
the Working Capital Fund (WCF), except for activities and 
amounts allowed in the President's fiscal year 2019 budget 
request. Funds provided to the WCF are available until 
expended. The Department can only charge components for direct 
usage of the WCF and these funds may be used only for the 
purposes consistent with the contributing component. Any funds 
paid in advance or for reimbursement must reflect the full cost 
of each service. The Department shall submit a notification 
prior to adding a new activity to the fund or eliminating an 
existing activity from the fund. For activities added to the 
fund, such notifications shall detail the source of funds by 
PPA. In addition, the Department shall submit quarterly WCF 
execution reports to the Committees that include activity level 
detail.
      Section 505. The conference agreement continues a 
provision providing that not to exceed 50 percent of 
unobligated balances from prior-year appropriations for each 
Operations and Support appropriation, shall remain available 
through fiscal year 2020, subject to section 503 reprogramming 
requirements.
      Section 506. The conference agreement continues a 
provision that deems intelligence activities to be specifically 
authorized during fiscal year 2019 until the enactment of an 
Act authorizing intelligence activities for fiscal year 2019.
      Section 507. The conference agreement continues a 
provision requiring notification to the Committees at least 
three days before DHS executes or announces grant allocations; 
grant awards; contract awards, including contracts covered by 
the Federal Acquisition Regulation; other transaction 
agreements; letters of intent; task or delivery orders on 
multiple contract awards totaling $1,000,000 or more; a task or 
delivery orders greater than $10,000,000 from multi-year funds; 
or sole-source grant awards. Notifications shall include a 
description of the project or projects or activities to be 
funded and the location, including city, county, and state. If 
the Secretary determines that compliance would pose substantial 
risk to health, human life, or safety, an award may be made 
without prior notification but the Committees shall be notified 
within 5 full business days after such award or letter is 
issued.
      Section 508. The conference agreement continues a 
provision prohibiting all agencies from purchasing, 
constructing, or leasing additional facilities for federal law 
enforcement training without advance notification to the 
Committees.
      Section 509. The conference agreement continues a 
provision prohibiting the use of funds for any construction, 
repair, alteration, or acquisition project for which a 
prospectus, if required under chapter 33 of title 40, United 
States Code, has not been approved.
      Section 510. The conference agreement continues a 
provision that includes and consolidates by reference prior-
year statutory provisions related to a contracting officer's 
technical representative training; sensitive security 
information; and the use of funds in conformance with section 
303 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
      Section 511. The conference agreement continues a 
provision prohibiting the use of funds in contravention of the 
Buy American Act.
      Section 512. The conference agreement continues a 
provision regarding the oath of allegiance required by section 
337 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
      Section 513. The conference agreement continues a 
provision that precludes DHS from using funds in this Act to 
carry out reorganization authority. This prohibition is not 
intended to prevent the Department from carrying out routine or 
small reallocations of personnel or functions within 
components, subject to section 503 of this Act. This section 
prevents large-scale reorganization of the Department, which 
should be acted on legislatively by the relevant congressional 
committees of jurisdiction. Any DHS proposal to reorganize 
components that is included as part of a budget request will be 
considered by the Committees.
      Section 514. The conference agreement continues a 
provision prohibiting funds for planning, testing, piloting, or 
developing a national identification card.
      Section 515. The conference agreement continues a

available by this Act to pay for award or incentive fees for 
contractors with below satisfactory performance or performance 
that fails to meet the basic requirements of the contract.
      Section 520. The conference agreement continues a 
provision prohibiting the use of funds to enter into a federal 
contract unless the contract meets requirements of the Federal 
Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 or chapter 137 
of title 10 U.S.C., and the Federal Acquisition Regulation, 
unless the contract is otherwise authorized by statute without 
regard to this section.
      Section 521. The conference agreement continues and 
modifies a provision providing $51,000,000 for financial 
systems modernization activities, which the Secretary may 
transfer between appropriations for the same purpose after

year for county-level agriculture risk coverage payments under 
section 1117(b)(1) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 
9017(b)(1)), that provides all or some of the State Farm 
Service Agency offices in each State the opportunity to provide 
agricultural producers in the State a supplemental payment 
described in subsection (c) based on the alternate calculation 
method described in subsection (b) for 1 or more counties in a 
State if the office for that State determines that the 
alternate calculation method is necessary to ensure that, to 
the maximum extent practicable, there are not significant yield 
calculation disparities between comparable counties in the 
State.
  (b) The alternate calculation method referred to in 
subsection (a) is a method of calculating the actual yield for 
the 2018 crop year for county-level agriculture risk coverage 
payments under section 1117(b)(1) of the Agricultural Act of 
2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017(b)(1)), under which--
          (1) county data of the National Agricultural 
        Statistics Service (referred to in this section as 
        ``NASS data'') is used for the calculations;
          (2) if there is insufficient NASS data for a county 
        (as determined under standards of the Secretary in 
        effect as of the date of enactment of this Act) or the 
        available NASS data produces a substantially disparate 
        result, the calculation of the county yield is 
        determined using comparable contiguous county NASS data 
        as determined by the Farm Service Agency office in the 
        applicable State; and
          (3) if there is insufficient NASS data for a 
        comparable contiguous county (as determined under 
        standards of the Secretary in effect as of the date of 
        enactment of this Act), the calculation of the county 
        yield is determined using reliable yield data from 
        other sources, such as Risk Management Agency data, 
        National Agricultural Statistics Service district data, 
        National Agricultural Statistics Service State yield 
        data, or other data as determined by the Farm Service 
        Agency office in the applicable State.
  (c)(1) A supplemental payment made under the pilot program 
established under this section may be made to an agricultural 
producer who is subject to the alternate calculation method 
described in subsection (b) if that agricultural producer would 
otherwise receive a county-level agriculture risk coverage 
payment for the 2018 crop year in an amount that is less than 
the payment that the agricultural producer would receive under 
the alternate calculation method.
  (2) The amount of a supplemental payment to an agricultural 
producer under this section may not exceed the difference 
between--
          (A) the payment that the agricultural producer would 
        have received without the alternate calculation method 
        described in subsection (b); and
          (B) the payment that the agricultural producer would 
        receive using the alternate calculation method.
  (d)(1) There is appropriated to the Secretary, out of funds 
of the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $5,000,000, to 
remain available until September 30, 2020, to carry out the 
pilot program described in this section.
  (2) Of the funds appropriated, the Secretary shall use not 
more than $5,000,000 to carry out the pilot program described 
in this section.
  (e)(1) To the maximum extent practicable, the Secretary shall 
select States to participate in the pilot program under this 
section so the cost of the pilot program equals the amount 
provided under subsection (d).
  (2) To the extent that the cost of the pilot program exceeds 
the amount made available, the Secretary shall reduce all 
payments under the pilot program on a pro rata basis.
  (f) Nothing in this section affects the calculation of actual 
yield for purposes of county-level agriculture risk coverage 
payments under section 1117(b)(1) of the Agricultural Act of 
2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017(b)(1)) other than payments made in 
accordance with the pilot program under this section.
  (g) A calculation of actual yield made using the alternate 
calculation method described in subsection (b) shall not be 
used as a basis for any agriculture risk coverage payment 
determinations under section 1117 of the Agricultural Act of 
2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017) other than for purposes of the pilot 
program under this section.

    [Clerk's note: Reproduced below is the material relating to 
division B contained in the Explanatory Statement regarding 
H.J. Res. 31, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019.\1\]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on February 13, 2019 by Mrs. Lowey of New York, 
Chairwoman of the House Committee on Appropriations. The Statement 
appears on page H1767 of Book II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

       DIVISION B--AGRICULTURE, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, FOOD AND DRUG 
     ADMINISTRATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2019

                        CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTIVES

      The explanatory statement is silent on provisions that 
were in both the House Report (H.Rpt. 115-706) and Senate 
Report (S.Rpt. 115-259) that remain unchanged by this 
conference agreement, except as noted in this explanatory 
statement.
      The conference agreement restates that executive branch 
wishes cannot substitute for Congress's own statements as to 
the best evidence of congressional intentions, which are the 
official reports of the Congress. The conference agreement 
further points out that funds in this Act must be used for the 
purposes for which appropriated, as required by section 1301 of 
title 31 of the United States Code, which provides: 
``Appropriations shall be applied only to the objects for which 
the appropriations were made except as otherwise provided by 
law.''
      The House and Senate report language that is not changed 
by the explanatory statement is approved and indicates 
congressional intentions. The explanatory statement, while 
repeating some report language for emphasis, does not intend to 
negate the language referred to above unless expressly provided 
herein.
      In cases in which the House or the Senate have directed 
the submission of a report, such report is to be submitted to 
both the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later 
than 60 days after enactment of this Act, unless otherwise 
directed.
    Hereafter, in division B of this statement, the term `he 
Committees' refers to the Committees on Appropriations of the 
House of Representatives and the Senate.
      For the appropriations provided by this Act and previous 
Acts, the departments and agencies funded by this conference 
agreement are reminded that the Committees use the definitions 
for transfer, reprogramming, and program, project, and activity 
as defined by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in 
GAO-04-261SP Appropriations Law--Vol. I and GAO-05-734SP Budget 
Glossary.
      A transfer is the shifting of funds between 
appropriations. It applies to (1) transfers from one agency to 
another, (2) transfers from one account to another within the 
same agency, and (3) transfers to an interagency or intra-
agency working fund. In each instance, statutory authority is 
required.
      Reprogramming is the utilization of funds in an 
appropriation account for purposes other than those 
contemplated at the time of appropriation. It is the shifting 
of funds from one object to another within an appropriation.
      A program, project, or activity (PPA) is an element 
within a budget account. PPAs are identified by reference to 
include the most specific level of budget items identified in 
the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
Administration, and Related Agencies Act, 2019, accompanying 
Committee reports, explanatory statements, the Statement of 
Managers, and budget justifications. Program activity 
structures are intended to provide a meaningful representation 
of the operations financed by a specific budget account by 
project, activity, or organization.
      For fiscal year 2019, the Committees continue to include 
bill language requiring advanced notification of certain agency 
actions. Notification will be required at least 30 days in 
advance of any action if (1) a major capital investment is 
modified; (2) an office is realigned or reorganized; and (3) 
activities are carried out that were not described in the 
budget request.
      The conference agreement directs the Office of Budget and 
Program Analysis (OBPA) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture 
(USDA) to provide an organizational chart for each agency 
funded by this Act to the division and subdivision level, as 
appropriate, by March 1, 2019. The conference agreement also 
directs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Farm 
Credit Administration (FCA) to provide an organizational chart 
of each agency respectively to the division and subdivision 
level, as appropriate, by March 1, 2019.
      Further, USDA and FDA should be mindful of Congressional 
authority to determine and set final funding levels for fiscal 
year 2020. Therefore, the agencies should not presuppose 
program funding outcomes and prematurely initiate action to 
redirect staffing prior to knowing final outcomes on fiscal 
year 2020 program funding. The conference agreement directs 
OBPA to provide the Committees with the number of staff years 
and employees on board for each agency funded by this Act on a 
quarterly basis.
      Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture and the Commissioner of 
Food and Drugs shall enter into a formal agreement delineating 
the responsibilities of the two agencies for the regulation of 
cell-cultured food products derived from livestock and poultry. 
Such agreement shall be made public on the USDA and FDA 
websites within one day of the completion of the agreement.

                     TITLE I--AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMS

       Processing, Research and Marketing Office of the Secretary

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement provides $46,603,000 for the 
Office of the Secretary.
      In addition to updates provided to the Committees, the 
Department is directed to include in its fiscal year 2020 
Congressional Justification, as a single exhibit, a table 
listing all deliverables, with a column for due dates if 
applicable.
      The conference agreement includes continued investment 
towards providing access to high-speed broadband infrastructure 
and services to rural areas of the United States. The 
conference agreement continues to provide resources for 
broadband deployment through the Broadband Loan program, 
Community Connect grant program, Distance Learning and 
Telemedicine program and an additional $550,000,000 for the 
broadband pilot program established in section 779 of division 
A of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-
141). To ensure these investments are maximized, the conference 
agreement reminds the Department to avoid efforts that could 
duplicate existing networks built by private investment or 
those built leveraging and utilizing other federal programs and 
directs the Secretary of Agriculture to coordinate with the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National 
Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) to ensure 
wherever possible that broadband loans and grants issued under 
the broadband programs are targeted to areas that are currently 
unserved. In particular, the conference agreement directs USDA 
to utilize the NTIA's assessment of the current state of 
broadband access nationwide, which includes the identification 
of existing infrastructure, gaps, and opportunities for more 
efficient deployment. In implementing a strategy for broadband 
deployment to unserved communities, the Department shall 
explore utilizing all technologies, including but not limited 
to, fiber, cable modem, fixed wireless, and television white 
space as a means of building sustainable rural infrastructure 
for the modern economy. The amounts made available for the 
broadband pilot program, as with the Rural Economic Development 
Loan Program shall remain available until expended.
      The conferees encourage the Secretary to work with 
stakeholders to develop accepted remediation protocols that 
will allow for the repurposing of poultry growing facilities 
into controlled environment agriculture facilities safe for 
food production.
      The conferees are concerned about the unknown costs 
associated with the proposed move of the National Institutes of 
Food and Agriculture and the Economic Research Service to a new 
location outside of the National Capital Region. In submitting 
the fiscal year 2020 budget justification, the Department is 
directed to include all cost estimates for the proposed move of 
the two agencies, as well as a detailed analysis of any 
research benefits of their relocation. There is an expectation 
that this process will be followed in the future for any other 
potential proposed agency relocations by the Department.
      The conferees support an indefinite delay in the proposed 
transfer of ERS to the Office of the Chief Economist. At this 
time, the conferees find it appropriate for ERS to remain under 
the Research, Education and Economics mission area. The 
conferees take this position as several questions remain about 
the merits of the proposed transfer as well as the proposed 
relocation of ERS outside of the National Capital Region. 
Insufficient information and justification relating to the 
reorganization and relocation make moving forward on these 
proposals premature at this time.
      The conferees await the cost-benefit analysis of the 
National Finance Center and accompanying sufficiency review by 
the Comptroller General of the United States as directed in 
P.L. 115-141. The conferees remind the Department of enacted 
language prohibiting the initiating, planning, developing, 
implementing, or making of any changes to remove or relocate 
any systems, missions, or functions of the offices of the Chief 
Financial Officer or any personnel from the National Finance 
Center prior to written notification to and prior approval of 
the Committee on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress.
      The following table reflects the conference agreement:

threats to animal agriculture and public health. The conferees 
provide an additional $5,000,000 for ARS to increase research 
efforts on foreign animal diseases and emerging diseases with 
high consequence to animal and public health.
      The Committees have read the quarterly reports on animal 
welfare issues submitted by ARS. While providing helpful 
information, on some issues, ARS did not report a single 
specific negative finding by APHIS inspectors, despite the fact 
that numerous violations have been found involving the death of 
numerous animals and serious health issues of many more. The 
failure to report these problems to the Committees is 
unacceptable. The conferees direct ARS to submit a single 
report covering all violations found by APHIS to date and the 
specific actions taken to prevent them from recurring within 60 
days of enactment. They also direct ARS to continue to submit 
quarterly reports that include all violations found by APHIS 
during that quarter and the specific actions that will be taken 
to prevent their recurrence. The quarterly reports shall also 
include each issue found by APHIS inspectors at the pre-
compliance inspections of newly-covered research activities and 
the remedial actions taken.
      The conferees recognize the need for advancements in 
dryland production practices, cropping, and equipment to 
increase profitability, conserve the soil, enhance soil water 
storage, promote soil health, and decrease reliance on 
herbicides. The conferees provide an additional $2,000,000 to 
expand research focused on resilient dryland farming.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement provides $1,011,136,000 for the 
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Salaries 
and Expenses.
      The conferees provide a net increase of $34,243,000 for 
high priority initiatives in order to protect the plant and 
animal resources of the Nation from pests and diseases. Within 
the increase total, the conferees include the following: 
$800,000 for the Equine, Cervid, and Small Ruminant Health 
program to help address chronic wasting disease and support for 
the National Scrapie Eradication Program; $10,600,000 for the 
Veterinary Diagnostics program to carry out the science program 
at the National Bio- and Agro-defense Facility program; 
$1,000,000 for Agricultural Quarantine Inspection in support of 
pre-departure and interline inspection efforts; $2,500,000 for 
Field Crop and Rangeland Ecosystems Pests in order to control 
or eradicate pests destroying Roseau cane in wetlands near the 
Mississippi River Delta as well as funds for APHIS to partner 
with states in the control and eradication of the cogongrass 
weed; $12,843,000 for Specialty Crop Pests, including 
$12,000,000 for the control or eradication of the spotted 
lanternfly; $4,000,000 for Tree and Wood Pests; $500,000 for 
Animal Welfare; and, $2,000,000 for the Overseas Technical and 
Trade Operations Program to assist U.S. producers whose 
agricultural exports are blocked due to unfair sanitary and 
phytosanitary issues.
      The conferees direct APHIS to send copies of all 
inspection reports for current ARS facilities and newly covered 
ARS facilities, including pre-compliance reports, to the 
Committees.
      The conferees include no less than $4,000,000 for cervid 
health activities. Within the funds provided, APHIS should give 
consideration to indemnity payments if warranted.
      The conferees support efforts to address potential gaps 
in farm-specific antimicrobial resistance data. At the same 
time, the agency is reminded that any information collected on-
farm should be done through the National Animal Health 
Monitoring System (NAHMS), keeping respondents anonymous and 
ensuring that all information collected is protected from 
release or distribution in a manner that could identify an 
individual respondent.
      The conferees remain concerned with the invasive species 
scale insect pest that is destroying Roseau cane in the 
Mississippi River's Delta region along the Gulf of Mexico. The 
conferees direct APHIS to continue work with the Agricultural 
Research Service (ARS) and stakeholders and provide an 
additional $500,000 to further develop an integrated management 
program for control of the Roseau cane scale insect pest 
infestation.
      The conferees include $28,000,000 under Wildlife Damage 
Management for national rabies management, surveillance, and 
eradication efforts and $2,000,000 for Wildlife Services 
education and training. The conference agreement also provides 
$1,600,000 for combatting wildlife depredation to catfish 
production and maintain fiscal year 2018 funding levels for 
feral swine surveillance. Additionally, no less than $250,000 
should be available for the agency to reduce blackbird 
depredation in the Northern Great Plains.
      The conferees provide $2,000,000 for APHIS to partner 
with state departments of agriculture and forestry commissions 
in states considered to be the epicenter of infestations, to 
assist with control and treatment of cogongrass in order to 
slow the advancing front of this invasive plant-pest species 
and its impact on forest productivity, wildlife habitat, and 
private landowners.

                         Risk Management Agency

      The conference agreement provides $58,361,000 for the 
Risk Management Agency (RMA), Salaries and Expenses.

                 Natural Resources Conservation Service

                        CONSERVATION OPERATIONS

      The conference agreement provides $819,492,000 for 
Conservation Operations.
      The conferees provide $9,400,000 for the Snow Survey and 
Water Forecasting Program; $9,481,000 for the Plant Materials 
Centers; $74,685,000 for the Soil Surveys Program; and 
$725,926,000 for Conservation Technical Assistance.
      The conferees support NRCS' ongoing work to prevent soil 
erosion leading to harmful algal blooms through the 
introduction of cover crops and encourages continued targeting 
of watersheds where harmful algal blooms pose a threat. In 
addition, no less than $5,000,000 shall be provided to support 
cooperative agreements focused on innovative phosphorus removal 
strategies where agricultural runoff has contributed nutrients 
to a waterbody. Such work shall be conducted in consultation 
with the National Institute for Food and Agriculture and the 
Agricultural Research Service.
      In carrying out the programs under section 524(b) of the 
Federal Crop Insurance Act, the Secretary is encouraged to 
establish multi-year pilot projects to provide financial and 
technical assistance to farms regulated under the FSMA Produce 
Safety Rule for capital improvements to address on-farm 
agricultural water concerns, including irrigation systems and 
other conservation practices to improve water quality and soil 
health. Payment limits and other provisions of the AMA program 
will apply.
      The conferees are concerned about the number of staff 
vacancies at NRCS, as unfilled state-level positions are 
creating delays in application approval and the deployment of 
important conservation funding. NRCS is directed to provide a 
report no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act 
updating the Committees on staffing levels at each NRCS office 
across the country, by location, including vacancies that have 
remained unfilled for more than 6 months, plans to fill those 
vacancies, and the workload analysis that demonstrates the 
total number of employees needed compared to the national 
staffing cap.
      The conferees reiterate their support for irrigation 
agriculture and encourage NRCS to leverage all possible funding 
streams to support the expansion of on-farm irrigation in 
regions that have previously not had widespread irrigation 
systems, specifically in the Southeastern United States. The 
conferees direct NRCS to focus efforts on the development of 
conservation and irrigation techniques to reduce water usage in 
agriculture production while maintaining crop quality and yield 
in rural America.

      The conference agreement provides $800,000 for the Office 
of the Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer

      The marketplace continues to develop innovative 
technologies, such as third-party mobile applications, which

benefits. The conferees encourage USDA to ensure that these new 
technologies have a secure system in place to protect personal 
account information; do not sell, distribute or make available 
personal account information for commercial marketing purposes; 
and that participants have consistent access to their account 
information regardless of the means in which they choose to 
access it.
      Retailer SNAP sales data could contain proprietary and 
confidential information. Should such information be made 
publicly available, USDA is directed to make every effort to 
protect confidential business information likely to cause harm 
to the competitive position in the retail industry, especially 
small grocery stores and small grocery stores in rural areas. 
Personal information about individual SNAP participants should 
also remain confidential.

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

      The conference agreement provides $6,075,000,000 for the 
Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and 
Children.
      The conference agreement recommends full funding for WIC 
that will meet estimated participation in fiscal year 2019. The 
recommendation includes $60,000,000 for breastfeeding support 
initiatives and $19,000,000 for infrastructure. The conferees 
recognize new technologies, including telemedicine, that 
support breastfeeding mothers through access to professional 
breastfeeding and nutrition consultants. The conferees provide 
$5,000,000 for telehealth competitive grants to supplement the 
nutrition education and breastfeeding support offered in the 
WIC clinic, and to decrease barriers to access to WIC services, 
particularly in rural communities. Funding can be used to 
support a variety of telehealth interventions, including but 
not limited to the use of telehealth tools by WIC staff as well 
as clinical services and technologies provided by third-party 
vendors.
      The work of the National Academies of Science (NAS) to 
review and make recommendations for updating the WIC food 
packages to reflect current science and cultural factors is 
recognized. The conferees note, however, that while all revised 
packages now allow some fish, the amounts remain low compared 
to the recommendations of other authoritative health agencies. 
The conferees strongly encourage the Department to consider the 
health and cultural benefits of fish consumption as the NAS 
recommendations are reviewed and used to inform the 
Department's next course of action. The conferees also strongly 
encourage the Department to continue to allow states to submit 
cultural food package proposals to respond to the cultural 
preferences of WIC participants in states like Alaska.

      Report language included in House Report 115-704 (``the 
House report'') or Senate Report 115-275 (``the Senate 
report'') that is not changed by this explanatory statement or 
the Act is approved. The explanatory statement, while repeating 
some language for emphasis, is not intended to negate the 
language referred to above unless expressly provided herein. In 
cases where both the House report and the Senate report address 
a particular issue not specifically addressed in the 
explanatory statement, the House report and the Senate report 
should be read as consistent and are to be interpreted 
accordingly. In cases where the House report or the Senate 
report directs the submission of a report, such report is to be 
submitted to both the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations (``the Committees'').
      Each department and agency funded in this Act shall 
follow the directions set forth in this Act and the 
accompanying explanatory statement, and shall not reallocate 
resources or reorganize activities except as provided herein. 
Reprogramming procedures shall apply to: funds provided in this 
Act; unobligated balances from previous appropriations Acts 
that are available for obligation or expenditure in fiscal year 
2019; and non-appropriated resources such as fee collections 
that are used to meet program requirements in fiscal year 2019. 
These procedures are specified in section 505 of this Act.
      Any reprogramming request shall include any out-year 
budgetary impacts and a separate accounting of program or 
mission impacts on estimated carryover funds. Any program, 
project, or activity cited in this explanatory statement, or in 
the House report or the Senate report and not changed by this 
Act, shall be construed as the position of the Congress and 
shall not be subject to reductions or reprogramming without 
prior approval of the Committees. Further, any department or 
agency funded in this Act that plans a reduction-in-force shall 
notify the Committees by letter no later than 30 days in 
advance of the date of any such planned personnel action.
      When a department or agency submits a reprogramming or 
transfer request to the Committees and does not receive 
identical responses, it shall be the responsibility of the 
department or agency seeking the reprogramming to reconcile the 
differences between the two bodies before proceeding. If 
reconciliation is not possible, the items in disagreement in 
the reprogramming or transfer request shall be considered 
unapproved. Departments and agencies shall not submit 
reprogramming notifications after July 1, 2019, except in 
extraordinary circumstances. Any such notification shall 
include a description of the extraordinary circumstances.
      In compliance with section 533 of this Act, each 
department and agency funded in this Act shall submit spending 
plans, signed by the respective department or agency head, for 
the Committees' review not later than 45 days after enactment.

      National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS).--
The agreement provides $13,500,000 for NIDIS activities.
      Ocean Exploration and Research.--The agreement adopts 
House and Senate report language regarding ocean exploration 
and research. The agreement supports the use of existing tele-
presence technology, and applied exploration, to map critically 
important mineral deposits within America's exclusive economic 
zone and sites of submerged human history, particularly in the 
Pacific.
      Multi-Function Phased Array Radar (MPAR) Program.--The 
fiscal year 2018 appropriations Act directed NOAA to maintain 
its leadership in the Spectrum Efficient National Surveillance 
Radar (SENSR) Program. There is frustration with the decision 
to de-scope the SENSR program by removing the high-resolution 
weather sensing requirements, and concern that NOAA is 
unprepared to execute a weather radar follow-on program. In 
lieu of Senate language, the agreement directs OAR, in 
coordination with the National Weather Service, to develop and 
submit to the Committees, within 90 days of enactment of this 
Act, a weather radar follow-on research-to-operations 
transition plan, in accordance with the requirements for agency 
transition plans set forth under NOAA Administrative Order 216-
105B, section 3.06.
      Oceanographic Research Partnership Program.--$5,500,000 
is for NOAA to advance ocean science research through the 
program established under 10 U.S.C. 7901. Senate guidance for 
this funding and support for Ocean Joint Technology Transfer 
Initiative projects funded in fiscal year 2018 is adopted.
      Joint Technology Transfer Initiative (JTTI).--House 
language regarding JTTI is adopted. Of the amount provided for 
JTTI, up to $5,000,000 shall be available to pursue innovative, 
modern techniques to accelerate the transition of weather 
research to operations.
      Highly Migratory Species.--In lieu of House and Senate 
language under NMFS, the agreement provides up to $2,000,000 
within OAR for the Sea Grant program to partner with State 
agencies, academia, and the fishing industry to research highly 
migratory fish species in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic. 
This should include examining the impact of offshore oil 
platforms on the biology of highly migratory species, such as 
yellow fin tuna. Highly migratory species, and the coastal 
communities that rely on the health of these stocks, could 
greatly benefit from improved, science-based management and 
conservation.

      Quarterly Briefings.--The fiscal year 2018 appropriations 
Act directed the NWS to provide quarterly briefings to the 
Committees on all NWS management and budget issues. The 
agreement adopts House and Senate language regarding such 
reporting. However, there is frustration and disappointment 
that the NWS was unable to provide any quarterly briefings 
during fiscal year 2018. The American people entrust the NWS 
with more than $1,000,000,000 each year to provide accurate 
weather forecasting. It is unacceptable that the NWS is 
unwilling or unable to report to the Committees on its 
operations. The leadership of the Department of Commerce and 
NOAA shall ensure NWS improves the transparency of its 
operations and provides quarterly briefings on management and 
budget issues to the Committees.
      National Mesonet Program.--The agreement adopts Senate 
report language on the National Mesonet Program and provides 
$19,000,000 for these activities.
      Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS).--
Within the increased funding for Central Processing, the 
agreement fully funds the request for the AWIPS Cyclical 
Refreshment.
      Facilities Maintenance.--Within funding for Analyze, 
Forecast, and Support, the agreement provides $8,000,000 for 
the National Weather Service's highest priority facilities 
repair and deferred maintenance requirements at Weather 
Forecast Offices. Thirty days prior to obligating any of these 
additional facilities repair and deferred maintenance funds, 
NWS shall submit a report providing: (1) a prioritized list of 
NWS deferred facilities maintenance needs, based on the 
facilities condition assessment; and (2) an estimate of the 
total amount and composition of deferred facilities 
maintenance. In subsequent fiscal years, NOAA shall request 
resources in line with the September 2017 NWS Facilities 
Strategic Plan.
      Dissemination.--House report language regarding the 
Integrated Dissemination Program system is not adopted.
      National Water Center (NWC) Operations.--The agreement 
adopts Senate language under NWS for the NWC and provides an 
additional $1,500,000 within Analyze, Forecast, and Support to 
expedite hiring within the NWC Water Prediction Operations 
Division. The increasing prevalence and severity of flooding 
events results in loss of life and billions of dollars of 
property damage. While NOAA has made progress in developing 
next-generation water modeling capabilities, such as the 
National Water Model, it is imperative that these technologies 
be transitioned into operations to enable more accurate and 
longer range flood forecasts. Objective 3.3 of the Department 
of Commerce's Strategic Plan directs NOAA to begin 
demonstrating these capabilities. Therefore, NWS should also 
simultaneously be preparing to operationalize these 
capabilities. NWS is directed to develop and make public, by 
the end of fiscal year 2019, an operations and services policy 
directive that defines national instructions on operations at 
the NWC, and the content and provision of NWC products and 
services. Further, such policy should establish the NWC as the 
operational center of excellence for water prediction and 
related decision support services within NOAA.

maintains separate funding for the Joint Polar Satellite System 
(JPSS) and the Polar Weather Follow-on (PFO) Program and 
includes $548,035,000 and $329,956,000 for those programs, 
respectively. NOAA's proposal to combine the JPSS and PFO 
programs will continue to be considered, and NOAA is encouraged 
to provide the Committees, concurrent with the submission of 
its fiscal year 2020 budget request, a revised proposal that 
clearly identifies the cost and programmatic efficiencies that 
would be gained by combining these programs into one funding 
line.
      NOAA Construction.--House and Senate reporting 
requirements regarding deferred facilities maintenance needs 
are adopted. Additionally, the agreement retains Senate 
language regarding Mission Support, facilities initiative.
      Space Weather Follow-on.--The agreement includes 
$27,000,000 for Space Weather Follow-on. NOAA shall continue 
development and construction of two compact coronagraphs. 
Further, NOAA shall begin preparations to integrate a compact 
coronagraph on Geostationary Operational Environmental

Backlog.--The Department shall continue efforts to accelerate 
the hiring and deployment of IJ teams, giving priority to the 
highest workload areas, and improving coordination with the 
Department of Homeland Security to institute fair and efficient 
court proceedings in detention facilities and ensure court 
appearances by non-detained individuals. The Department should

candidates to ensure the adjudication process is impartial and 
consistent with due process.
      EOIR shall continue to submit monthly reports on 
performance and IJ hiring in the format and detail provided in

                           TITLE III--SCIENCE

                Office of Science and Technology Policy

      The agreement includes $5,544,000 for the Office of 
Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).
      Emerging Contaminants.--OSTP submitted the ``Plan for 
Addressing Critical Research Gaps Related to Emerging 
Contaminants in Drinking Water'' in October 2018. Within 90 
days of the enactment of this agreement, OSTP shall update the 
implementation plan included in that report, including 
identifying budgetary resources required, by agency, for fiscal 
years 2019, 2020, and 2021.

                         National Space Council

      The agreement includes $1,965,000 for the activities of 
the National Space Council.
      Execution of Space Programs.--Under Executive Order 
13803, the National Space Council (the Council) is directed to, 
among other duties, ``develop recommendations for the President 
on space policy and space-related issues'' and ``foster close 
coordination, cooperation, and technology and information 
exchange among the civil, national security, and commercial 
space sectors.'' In executing these duties, the Council is 
reminded that, in recent years, poor workmanship, poor 
oversight, and poor performance (e.g., flawed welding 
techniques, component tube contamination, incorrect cleaning 
methods, using the wrong voltage in testing, unreliable launch 
vehicle bolt cutter assembly, mishandling of rocket stages 
during transport, and substandard strut components) have led to 
costly delays and even loss of mission. Overly ambitious 
technology development, optimistic scheduling, and poor cost 
estimation have become common. No type of contract vehicle 
seems immune, whether traditional cost-plus contracts or firm, 
fixed-price contracts are used. These are inherent, systemic 
problems that cannot continue. National security, technology 
development, scientific discoveries, and improved weather 
forecasting are too important to the future of the Nation and 
require the Council to address these issues.

             National Aeronautics and Space Administration

      The agreement includes $21,500,000,000 for the National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The agreement 
includes substantial new resources for activities related to 
Moon exploration and retains language regarding submission of a 
detailed report prior to obligating certain funds. As noted 
elsewhere in this statement, the lack of progress across 
science and exploration programs despite continued significant 
and sustained investments in these programs is dismaying. 
Reports by the NASA Inspector General (IG), the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO), and independent experts point to a 
number of deficiencies that NASA and its private sector 
partners must address. During fiscal year 2019, NASA is 
expected to show marked success in addressing the myriad 
deficiencies identified by oversight bodies.

                                SCIENCE

      The agreement includes $6,905,700,000 for Science.
      Earth Science.--The agreement includes $1,931,000,000 for 
Earth Science and adopts all funding levels designated by the 
House and the Senate.
      Planetary Science.--The agreement includes $2,758,500,000 
for Planetary Science. The agreement adopts House language 
regarding the Europa Clipper and Lander missions modified to 
reflect launch dates of 2023 for the Clipper and 2025 for the 
Lander. The agreement includes $97,000,000 for the Double 
Asteroid Redirection Test and no less than the fiscal year 2018 
level for NEOcam. The agreement includes up to $218,000,000 for 
the Lunar Discovery and Exploration program, including 
$21,000,000 for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The agreement

$10,000,000 for search for life technology development.
      James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).--The agreement 
includes $304,600,000 for JWST. There is profound 
disappointment with both NASA and its contractors regarding 
mismanagement, complete lack of careful oversight, and overall 
poor basic workmanship on JWST, which has undergone two 
significant reviews because of failures on the part of NASA and 
its commercial sector partner. NASA and its commercial partners 
seem to believe that congressional funding for this project and 
other development efforts is an entitlement, unaffected by 
failures to stay on schedule or within budget. This attitude 
ignores the opportunity cost to other NASA activities that must 
be sacrificed or delayed. The agreement includes a general 
provision to adjust the cap for JWST to $8,802,700,000, an 
increase of $802,700,000 above the previous cap. NASA should 
strictly adhere to this cap or, under this agreement, JWST will 
have to find cost savings or cancel the mission. NASA and its 
contractors are expected to implement the recommendations of 
both the most recent independent review and the previous Casani 
report and to continue cooperation with JWST's standing review 
board. The agreement does not adopt the reorganization of JWST 
into Astrophysics, and the JWST Program Office shall continue 
the reporting structure adopted after the Casani report and 
reiterated by the recent Webb Independent Review Board.

law, the payable rate for an employee serving in an Executive 
Schedule position, or in a position for which the rate of pay 
is fixed by statute at an Executive Schedule rate, shall be

actually payable) at the time the official rate is adjusted in 
January 2019. Such an employee may receive no other pay 
increase during calendar year 2019, except as provided in 
subsection (i).
  (c) Notwithstanding section 401 of the Foreign Service Act of

Executive Schedule rate.
  (d)(1) This subsection applies to--
                  (A) a noncareer appointee in the Senior 
                Executive Service paid a rate of basic pay at

                official rate for level IV of the Executive 
                Schedule.
          (2) Notwithstanding sections 5382 and 5383 of title 
        5, United States Code, an employee described in 
        paragraph (1) who is serving at the time official rates 
        of the Executive Schedule are adjusted may receive a 
        single increase in the employee's pay rate of no more 
        than 1.9 percent during calendar year 2019, subject to 
        the normally applicable pay rules and pay limitations 
        in effect on December 31, 2013, after those pay

        applicable rounding). Such an employee may receive no 
        other pay increase during calendar year 2019, except as 
        provided in subsection (i).
  (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any employee 
paid a rate of basic pay (including any locality-based payments 
under section 5304 of title 5, United States Code, or similar 
authority) at or above the official rate for level IV of the 
Executive Schedule who serves under a political appointment, 
and who is serving at the time official rates of the Executive

limitations are increased by 1.9 percent (after applicable 
rounding). Such an employee may receive no other pay increase 
during calendar year 2019, except as provided in subsection 
(i). This subsection does not apply to employees in the General 
Schedule pay system or the Foreign Service pay system, to 
employees appointed under section 3161 of title 5, United 
States Code, or to employees in another pay system whose 
position would be classified at GS-15 or below if chapter 51 of 
title 5, United States Code, applied to them.
  (f) Nothing in subsections (b) through (e) shall prevent 
employees who do not serve under a political appointment from 
receiving pay increases as otherwise provided under applicable 
law.

  (i) Notwithstanding subsections (b) through (e), an employee 
in a covered position may receive a pay rate increase upon an 
authorized movement to a different covered position only if 
that new position has higher-level duties and a pre-established 
level or range of pay higher than the level or range for the 
position held immediately before the movement. Any such 
increase must be based on the rates of pay and applicable pay 
limitations in effect on December 31, 2013, after those rates 
and pay limitations are increased by 1.9 percent (after 
applicable rounding).
  (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for an 
individual who is newly appointed to a covered position during 
the period of time subject to this section, the initial pay 
rate shall be based on the rates of pay and applicable pay 
limitations in effect on December 31, 2013, after those rates 
and pay limitations are increased by 1.9 percent (after 
applicable rounding).
  (k) If an employee affected by this section is subject to a 
biweekly pay period that begins in calendar year 2019 but ends 
in calendar year 2020, the bar on the employee's receipt of pay 
rate increases shall apply through the end of that pay period.

position'' means a position occupied by an employee whose pay 
is restricted under this section.

Indian programs by direct expenditure, contracts, cooperative 
agreements, compacts, and grants, either directly or in 
cooperation with States and other organizations.
  Notwithstanding Public Law 87-279 (25 U.S.C. 15), the Bureau 
of Indian Affairs may contract for services in support of the 
management, operation, and maintenance of the Power Division of 
the San Carlos Irrigation Project.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds

contracts, grants, compacts, or cooperative agreements with the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs under the provisions of the Indian 
Self-Determination Act or the Tribal Self-Governance Act of 
1994 (Public Law 103-413).
  In the event any tribe returns appropriations made available 
by this Act to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, this action shall 
not diminish the Federal Government's trust responsibility to 
that tribe, or the government-to-government relationship 
between the United States and that tribe, or that tribe's 
ability to access future appropriations.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds 
available to the Bureau of Indian Education, other than the 
amounts provided herein for assistance to public schools under 
25 U.S.C. 452 et seq., shall be available to support the 
operation of any elementary or secondary school in the State of 
Alaska.
  No funds available to the Bureau of Indian Education shall be 
used to support expanded grades for any school or dormitory 
beyond the grade structure in place or approved by the 
Secretary of the Interior at each school in the Bureau of 
Indian Education school system as of October 1, 1995, except 
that the Secretary of the Interior may waive this prohibition 
to support expansion of up to one additional grade when the 
Secretary determines such waiver is needed to support 
accomplishment of the mission of the Bureau of Indian 
Education, or more than one grade to expand the elementary 
grade structure for Bureau-funded schools with a K-2 grade 
structure on October 1, 1996. Appropriations made available in 
this or any prior Act for schools funded by the Bureau shall be 
available, in accordance with the Bureau's funding formula, 
only to the schools in the Bureau school system as of September 
1, 1996, and to any school or school program that was 
reinstated in fiscal year 2012. Funds made available under this 
Act may not be used to establish a charter school at a Bureau-
funded school (as that term is defined in section 1141 of the 
Education Amendments of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 2021)), except that a 
charter school that is in existence on the date of the 
enactment of this Act and that has operated at a Bureau-funded 
school before September 1, 1999, may continue to operate during 
that period, but only if the charter school pays to the Bureau 
a pro rata share of funds to reimburse the Bureau for the use 
of the real and personal property (including buses and vans), 
the funds of the charter school are kept separate and apart 
from Bureau funds, and the Bureau does not assume any 
obligation for charter school programs of the State in which 
the school is located if the charter school loses such funding. 
Employees of Bureau-funded schools sharing a campus with a 
charter school and performing functions related to the charter 
school's operation and employees of a charter school shall not 
be treated as Federal employees for purposes of chapter 171 of 
title 28, United States Code.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including section 
113 of title I of appendix C of Public Law 106-113, if in 
fiscal year 2003 or 2004 a grantee received indirect and 
administrative costs pursuant to a distribution formula based 
on section 5(f) of Public Law 101-301, the Secretary shall 
continue to distribute indirect and administrative cost funds 
to such grantee using the section 5(f) distribution formula.
  Funds available under this Act may not be used to establish 
satellite locations of schools in the Bureau school system as 
of September 1, 1996, except that the Secretary may waive this 
prohibition in order for an Indian tribe to provide language 
and cultural immersion educational programs for non-public 
schools located within the jurisdictional area of the tribal 
government which exclusively serve tribal members, do not 
include grades beyond those currently served at the existing 
Bureau-funded school, provide an educational environment with 
educator presence and academic facilities comparable to the 
Bureau-funded school, comply with all applicable Tribal, 
Federal, or State health and safety standards, and the 
Americans with Disabilities Act, and demonstrate the benefits 
of establishing operations at a satellite location in lieu of 
incurring extraordinary costs, such as for transportation or 
other impacts to students such as those caused by busing 
students extended distances:  Provided, That no funds available 
under this Act may be used to fund operations, maintenance, 
rehabilitation, construction or other facilities-related costs 
for such assets that are not owned by the Bureau:  Provided 
further, That the term ``satellite school'' means a school 
location physically separated from the existing Bureau school 
by more than 50 miles but that forms part of the existing

and communication devices. Notwithstanding 121(c) of title 40, 
United States Code, or section 521 of title 40, United States 
Code, the Secretary is further authorized to transfer title to 
excess Department of the Interior firefighting equipment no 
longer needed to carry out the functions of the Department's 
wildland fire management program to such organizations.

                            recreation fees

  Sec. 427.  Section 810 of the Federal Lands Recreation 
Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6809) shall be applied by

                  policies relating to biomass energy

  Sec. 428.  To support the key role that forests in the United 
States can play in addressing the energy needs of the United 
States, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Agriculture, 
and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency 
shall, consistent with their missions, jointly--
          (1) ensure that Federal policy relating to forest 
        bioenergy--
                  (A) is consistent across all Federal 
                departments and agencies; and
                  (B) recognizes the full benefits of the use 
                of forest biomass for energy, conservation, and 
                responsible forest management; and

        of forest biomass as an energy solution, including 
        policies that--
                  (A) reflect the carbon-neutrality of forest 
                bioenergy and recognize biomass as a renewable 
                energy source, provided the use of forest 
                biomass for energy production does not cause 
                conversion of forests to non-forest use;
                  (B) encourage private investment throughout 
                the forest biomass supply chain, including in--

                          (v) wood products manufacturing; or
                          (vi) paper manufacturing;
                  (C) encourage forest management to improve 
                forest health; and
                  (D) recognize State initiatives to produce 
                and use forest biomass.

    [Clerk's note: Reproduced below is the material relating to 
division E contained in the Explanatory Statement regarding 
H.J. Res. 31, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019.\1\]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on February 13, 2019 by Mrs. Lowey of New York, 
Chairwoman of the House Committee on Appropriations. The Statement 
appears on page H1855 of Book II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   DIVISION E--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ENVIRONMENT, AND RELATED 
                   AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2019

      The following statement is an explanation of the effects 
of Division E, which provides appropriations for the Department 
of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the 
Forest Service, the Indian Health Service, and related agencies 
for fiscal year 2019.
      The joint explanatory statement accompanying this Act is 
approved and indicates congressional intent. Report language 
contained in House Report 115-765 and Senate Report 115-276 
providing specific guidance to agencies regarding the 
administration of appropriated funds and any corresponding 
reporting requirements carries the same emphasis as the 
language included in this explanatory statement and should be 
complied with unless specifically addressed to the contrary 
herein. This explanatory statement, while repeating some 
language for emphasis, is not intended to negate the language 
referred to above unless expressly provided herein.
      In cases where the House report, Senate report, or this 
explanatory statement direct the submission of a report, such 
report is to be submitted to both the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations. Where this explanatory statement 
refers to the Committees or the Committees on Appropriations, 
unless otherwise noted, this reference is to the House 
Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies and 
the Senate Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related 
Agencies.
      The Conferees direct each department and agency funded in 
this Act to follow the directions set forth in this Act and the 
accompanying statement and to not reallocate resources or 
reorganize activities except as provided herein or otherwise 
approved by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees 
through the reprogramming process as referenced in this 
explanatory statement. This explanatory statement addresses 
only those agencies and accounts for which there is a need for 
greater explanation than provided in the Act itself. Funding 
levels for appropriations by account, program, and activity, 
with comparisons to the fiscal year 2018 enacted level and the 
fiscal year 2019 budget request, can be found in the table at 
the end of this division.
      Unless expressly stated otherwise, any reference to 
``this Act'' or ``at the end of this statement'' shall be 
treated as referring only to the provisions of this division.
      Arts and Humanities Advocacy.--The Conferees acknowledge 
and appreciate the decades of arts and humanities advocacy by 
the late Rep. Louise M. Slaughter. In her memory, the Conferees 
encourage the National Endowment for the Arts and the National 
Endowment for the Humanities to expand grant-making activities 
in a manner that honors her advocacy, especially in rural and 
under-served areas, so more Americans are able to benefit from 
the economic, social, and educational effects of the arts and 
humanities.
      Delivery of Reports and Correspondence.--All reports, 
correspondence, and reprogramming requests from the agencies to 
the Committees shall be provided in both physical and 
electronic formats.
      Directives.--The Department of the Interior and Forest 
Service are directed to continue the directions included in the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 115-31) relating to Vacant 
Grazing Allotments; State Wildlife Data; Bighorn Sheep; Land 
Grants, Acequias, and Community Ditches; and Public Access.
      Harassment-Free Workplace.--The Conferees reiterate their 
expectation that all Federal employees, especially those in 
leadership positions, at the agencies funded by this Act will 
create and maintain harassment-free workplaces and remind the 
agencies of the directives in House Report 115-765 and Senate 
Report 115-276.
      Making Litigation Costs Transparent.--The Department of 
the Interior, EPA, and the Forest Service are directed to 
provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, 
and to make publicly available no later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act, detailed Equal Access to Justice Act 
(EAJA) fee information as specified in the explanatory 
statement accompanying Division G of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2017 (Public Law 115-31).
      Multi-Agency Transparency.--The Conferees support 
increasing transparency within all agencies of the Department 
of the Interior, the Forest Service, and EPA. These agencies 
are encouraged to disclose costs associated with analyses 
required by the National Environmental Policy Act.
      Paper Reduction Efforts.--The Conferees urge the 
Department of the Interior, EPA, Forest Service, and Indian 
Health Service to work with the Office of Management and Budget 
to reduce printing and reproduction costs and direct each 
agency to report to the Committees within 90 days of enactment 
of this Act on steps being undertaken to achieve this goal and 
how much each agency expects to save by implementing these 
measures.
      Recreation Fee Authority.--A one-year extension of 
recreation fee authority for the Department of the Interior and 
the Forest Service is included in Section 427.
      Twenty-first Century Conservation Service Corps.--
Consistent with the direction in House Report 115-765 and 
Senate Report 115-276, the Conferees expect the Department of 
the Interior and the Forest Service to continue conservation 
partnerships with the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps 
and Public Lands Corps.
      Water Rights.--The Conferees remind the Department of the 
Interior and the Forest Service of the States' jurisdiction 
over water law and expect that all applicable laws will be 
followed when considering a request for a permit or permit 
renewal.
      White Nose Syndrome.--The Conferees remind the agencies 
funded by this Act of the directive included in Senate Report 
115-276.
      Land and Water Conservation Fund.--The agreement includes 
$435,000,000 derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund 
(LWCF) for programs consistent with chapter 2003 of title 54 of 
the United States Code, as identified in the table below.

      The Conferees expect the agencies to move forward with 
all projects specifically identified and funded through this 
agreement; to utilize funding in a timely manner; and to seek 
congressional approval for reprogramming unobligated balances 
if applicable. The Conferees expect the agencies to provide 
timely information on project status and available balances. 
Agencies are directed to continue their longstanding process of 
identifying and prioritizing potential Federal land acquisition 
projects in anticipation of program appropriations as 
consistent with previous years. Within 30 days of the 
submission of the fiscal year 2020 budget or by March 1, 2019, 
whichever comes first, each agency is directed to submit to the 
Committees a prioritized list of projects for fiscal year 2020 
consideration.
      The Conferees believe increasing access to our public 
lands for hunting, fishing, and other recreational activities 
is important and again include funding for these projects. The 
agencies are expected to work with their respective regions, 
State offices, and/or management units to identify potential 
recreation access projects and to inform the Committees on 
project selections prior to proceeding.

                        REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

      The following are the procedures governing reprogramming 
actions for programs and activities funded in the Department of 
the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act. The Conferees remind the agencies funded in this Act that 
these reprogramming guidelines are in effect, and must be 
complied with, until such time as the Committees modify them 
through bill or report language.
      Definitions.--``Reprogramming,'' as defined in these 
procedures, includes the reallocation of funds from one budget 
activity, budget line-item, or program area, to another within 
any appropriation funded in this Act. In cases where either the 
House or Senate Committee report displays an allocation of an 
appropriation below that level, that more detailed level shall 
be the basis for reprogramming.
      For construction, land acquisition, and forest legacy 
accounts, a reprogramming constitutes the reallocation of 
funds, including unobligated balances, from one construction, 
land acquisition, or forest legacy project to another such 
project.
      A reprogramming shall also consist of any significant 
departure from the program described in the agency's budget 
justifications. This includes proposed reorganizations, 
especially those of significant national or regional 
importance, even without a change in funding. Any change to the 
organization table presented in the budget justification shall 
be subject to this requirement.
      The Conferees are aware that agencies funded by this Act 
are currently working to implement Executive Order 13781, a 
Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch, and 
have included in the fiscal year 2019 budget request a number 
of significant reorganization proposals for the Committees' 
consideration. The Conferees are also aware of reports that 
agencies funded by this Act may be weighing additional 
organizational changes during the remainder of this fiscal 
year. Agencies are reminded that this agreement continues 
longstanding General Guidelines for Reprogramming that require 
agencies funded by this Act to submit reorganization proposals 
for Committee review prior to their implementation. It is noted 
that such reprogramming guidelines apply to proposed 
reorganizations, workforce restructure, reshaping or transfer 
of functions presented in the budget justifications, or bureau-
wide downsizing, especially those of significant national or 
regional importance, and include closures, consolidations, and 
relocations of offices, facilities, and laboratories presented 
in the budget justifications. In addition, no agency shall 
implement any part of a reorganization that modifies regional 
or State boundaries for agencies or bureaus that were in effect 
as of the date of enactment of this Act unless approved 
consistent with the General Guidelines for Reprogramming 
procedures specified herein. Any such reprogramming request 
submitted to the Committees on Appropriations shall include a 
description of anticipated benefits, including anticipated 
efficiencies and cost-savings, as well as a description of 
anticipated personnel impacts and funding changes anticipated 
to implement the proposal.
      General Guidelines for Reprogramming.--
      (a) A reprogramming should be made only when an 
unforeseen situation arises, and then only if postponement of 
the project or the activity until the next appropriation year 
would result in actual loss or damage.
      (b) Any project or activity, which may be deferred 
through reprogramming, shall not later be accomplished by means 
of further reprogramming, but instead, funds should again be 
sought for the deferred project or activity through the regular 
appropriations process.
      (c) Except under the most urgent situations, 
reprogramming should not be employed to initiate new programs 
or increase allocations specifically denied or limited by 
Congress, or to decrease allocations specifically increased by 
the Congress.
      (d) Reprogramming proposals submitted to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations for approval shall be 
considered approved 30 calendar days after receipt if the 
Committees have posed no objection. However, agencies will be 
expected to extend the approval deadline if specifically 
requested by either Committee.
      Criteria and Exceptions.--A reprogramming must be 
submitted to the Committees in writing prior to implementation 
if it exceeds $1,000,000 annually or results in an increase or 
decrease of more than 10 percent annually in affected programs 
or projects, whichever amount is less, with the following 
exceptions:
      (a) With regard to the tribal priority allocations of the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Bureau of Indian Education 
(BIE), there is no restriction on reprogrammings among these 
programs. However, the Bureaus shall report on all 
reprogrammings made during a given fiscal year no later than 60 
days after the end of the fiscal year.
      (b) With regard to the EPA, the Conferees do not require 
reprogramming requests associated with the States and Tribes 
Partnership Grants, or up to a cumulative total of $30,000,000 
from carryover balances among the individual program areas 
delineated in the Environmental Programs and Management 
account. No funds, however, shall be reallocated from 
individual Geographic Programs.
      Assessments.--``Assessment'' as defined in these 
procedures shall refer to any charges, reserves, or holdbacks 
applied to a budget activity or budget line item for costs 
associated with general agency administrative costs, overhead 
costs, working capital expenses, or contingencies.
      (a) No assessment shall be levied against any program, 
budget activity, subactivity, budget line item, or project 
funded by the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act unless such assessment and the basis 
therefor are presented to the Committees on Appropriations in 
the budget justifications and are subsequently approved by the 
Committees. The explanation for any assessment in the budget 
justification shall show the amount of the assessment, the 
activities assessed, and the purpose of the funds.
      (b) Proposed changes to estimated assessments, as such 
estimates were presented in annual budget justifications, shall 
be submitted through the reprogramming process and shall be 
subject to the same dollar and reporting criteria as any other 
reprogramming.
      (c) The Conferees direct that each agency or bureau which 
utilizes assessments shall submit an annual report to the 
Committees which provides details on the use of all funds 
assessed from any other budget activity, line item, 
subactivity, or project.
      (d) In no case shall contingency funds or assessments be 
used to finance projects and activities disapproved or limited 
by Congress, or to finance programs or activities that could be 
foreseen and included in the normal budget review process.
      (e) New programs requested in the budget should not be 
initiated before enactment of the bill without notification to, 
and the approval of, the Committees on Appropriations. This 
restriction applies to all such actions regardless of whether a 
formal reprogramming of funds is required to begin the program.
      Quarterly Reports.--All reprogrammings between budget 
activities, budget line-items, program areas, or the more 
detailed activity levels shown in this agreement, including 
those below the monetary thresholds established above, shall be 
reported to the Committees within 60 days of the end of each 
quarter and shall include cumulative totals for each budget 
activity, budget line item, or construction, land acquisition, 
or forest legacy project.
      Land Acquisitions, Easements, and Forest Legacy.--Lands 
shall not be acquired for more than the approved appraised 
value (as addressed in section 301(3) of Public Law 91-646), 
unless such acquisitions are submitted to the Committees on 
Appropriations for approval in compliance with these 
procedures.
      Land Exchanges.--Land exchanges, wherein the estimated 
value of the Federal lands to be exchanged is greater than 
$1,000,000, shall not be consummated until the Committees have 
had a 30-day period in which to examine the proposed exchange. 
In addition, the Committees shall be provided advance 
notification of exchanges valued between $500,000 and 
$1,000,000.
      Budget Structure.--The budget activity or line item 
structure for any agency appropriation account shall not be 
altered without advance approval of the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations.

                  TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                       Bureau of Land Management

                   MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES

      Bureau of Land Management Directives.--The Bureau is 
reminded of the importance of the directives included in House 
Report 115-765 and Senate Report 115-276 not addressed herein, 
as well as the new directives in this explanatory statement, 
including the front matter. The Conferees support the 
innovative use of technology to improve the timeliness and 
accuracy of permitting decisions and direct the Bureau to 
provide a report within 90 days of enactment as directed by 
House Report 115-765. The Conferees reiterate the direction 
related to Chaco Canyon included in Senate Report 115-276.
      Management of Lands and Resources (MLR).--The agreement 
provides $1,198,000,000 for MLR. Within this amount, the 
Colorado Basin Salinity Control Program is funded at 
$2,000,000. Unless noted herein, the Conferees do not accept 
the proposed funding decreases; specific funding allocation 
information is located at the end of this explanatory 
statement.
      MLR Budget Restructuring.--The Conferees accept the 
Bureau's request to restructure several budget line items to 
increase efficiency in the delivery of programs. In fiscal year 
2019, Soil, Water and Air Management moves into Rangeland 
Management. Riparian Management moves into Wildlife and Aquatic 
Habitat Management. Within the new Wildlife and Aquatic 
Management budget line item, the Conferees maintain specific 
funding for Threatened and Endangered Species to ensure 
transparency of funding for these activities and expect these 
changes will improve the Bureau's ability to report 
expenditures and performance as required by the Endangered 
Species Act (ESA). The Conferees also accept the proposal to 
consolidate Hazardous Materials and Abandoned Mine Lands.
      Budget Restructuring Report Requirement.--The Conferees 
expect restructuring will improve program delivery and provide 
better on-the-ground results for Bureau-managed lands and 
direct the Bureau to provide a report with evidence of this 
improvement within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
      Wild Horse and Burro Management.--The agreement provides 
$80,555,000 for wild horse and burro management. The Conferees 
fully recognize the financial and political challenges of 
controlling wild horse and burro populations and note that 
significant management changes need to be made within the near 
future in order to control costs, improve range conditions, and 
humanely manage wild horse and burro populations. As such, the 
Conferees reiterate their appreciation for the Bureau's April 
26, 2018, report titled ``Management Options for a Sustainable 
Wild Horse and Burro Program'' but believe additional analysis 
is needed as directed by House Report 115-765. This analysis 
should be provided to Congress no later than 180 days after 
enactment of this Act. The Bureau is expected to continue 
evaluating its internal policies, procedures, and regulations 
to reduce costs and administrative burdens, as well as 
researching and developing appropriate, humane protocols for 
fertility control methods, including sterilization, and improve 
its contracting for off-range holdings. It is incumbent upon 
the Bureau to request the funding necessary to address this 
growing problem; better management of this program now will 
result in fewer dollars necessary in the future to restore the 
lands that wild horses, burros, and other wildlife depend upon. 
Therefore, the Conferees expect that the Bureau will include in 
its fiscal year 2020 budget request a proposal that outlines 
its proposed strategy and the funding necessary for 
implementation, including anticipated out-year estimates. The 
Conferees continue the current prohibitions on destruction and 
sale authority contained in the bill.

                            LAND ACQUISITION

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

      The bill provides $28,316,000 for Land Acquisition and 
includes a rescission of $1,800,000 from previously 
appropriated Emergencies, Hardships, and Inholdings funding. 
The amounts provided by this bill for projects are shown in the 
table below, listed in priority order pursuant to the project 
list received for fiscal year 2019. The Conferees understand 
that projects on that list, such as the Upper Snake/South Fork 
River Special Recreation Management Area, meet the criteria for 
recreational access funding and should receive full 
consideration from the amounts included for recreational 
access. Further instructions are contained under the Land and 
Water Conservation Fund heading in the front of this 
explanatory statement.

                   OREGON AND CALIFORNIA GRANT LANDS

      The agreement provides $106,985,000 for Oregon and 
California Grant Lands to be distributed as displayed in the 
funding allocation table at the end of this explanatory 
statement.

                           RANGE IMPROVEMENTS

      The agreement provides $10,000,000 to be derived from 
public lands receipts and Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act lands 
grazing receipts.

               SERVICE CHARGES, DEPOSITS, AND FORFEITURES

      The agreement provides an indefinite appropriation 
estimated to be $25,850,000 for Service Charges, Deposits, and 
Forfeitures.

                       MISCELLANEOUS TRUST FUNDS

      The agreement provides an indefinite appropriation 
estimated to be $24,000,000 for Miscellaneous Trust Funds.

                United States Fish and Wildlife Service

                          RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

      The bill provides $1,292,078,000 for Resource Management. 
All programs, projects, and activities are maintained at fiscal 
year 2018 enacted levels unless otherwise specified below or in 
the table at the end of this explanatory statement. For this 
and all other Service accounts funded in this bill, the Service 
is expected to comply with the instructions and requirements at 
the beginning of this division and in House Report 115-765 and 
Senate Report 115-276, unless otherwise specified below. 
Additional details, instructions, and requirements follow below 
and in the table at the end of this division.
      Planning and Consultation.--The agreement includes 
$3,000,000 to avoid permitting delays and to achieve compliance 
with other statutes, which should be apportioned in accordance 
with workload needs nationwide rather than by region. In 
addition, $4,000,000 is provided for Gulf Coast Restoration 
activities to ensure that the Service has the resources 
necessary to avoid delays in projects related to the Deepwater 
Horizon incident. This is consistent with the amount provided 
in fiscal year 2018. Because the Conferees have provided the 
Service with substantial resources for Gulf Coast Restoration, 
they expect the Service to move forward with project reviews in 
a timely manner.
      Lesser Prairie Chicken.--The Conferees are concerned that 
by listing the lesser prairie chicken (LPC) under the ESA in 
spite of the unprecedented level of voluntary conservation 
efforts in the habitat area, the Service significantly reduced 
the incentive for stakeholders to pursue future initiatives to 
preserve the LPC and other species. The Conferees note that if 
the listing of a species is viewed as inevitable, stakeholders 
lose the incentive to invest in private, voluntary conservation 
efforts. Therefore, the Conferees direct the Service to 
collaborate with local and regional stakeholders on improving 
voluntary solutions to conserve the species with the goal of 
avoiding the necessity of listing the LPC under the ESA.
      Recovery.--The agreement includes: a $2,000,000 general 
program increase; $1,000,000 to implement the Prescott Grant 
Program as authorized by section 408(e) of the Marine Mammal 
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 1421f-1(e)); and $6,000,000 for 
Recovery Challenge matching grants to enhance and increase 
partnerships with agencies and organizations implementing 
highest priority recovery actions as prescribed in recovery 
plans, and in particular for genetically-sound breeding, 
rearing, and reintroduction programs. Longstanding 
partnerships, including for the northern aplomado falcon, 
California condor, and Steller's eider, should be funded at not 
less than $2,500,000, and partner contributions should be not 
less than their current amounts. The remaining funds should be 
dedicated to new partnerships and should require a 50:50 match, 
which may include in-kind services. Unless an affected State is 
a partner on the project, none of the funds may be awarded to a 
project until the project partners have consulted with such 
State. The Service is expected to explore entering into an 
agreement with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) 
for the purpose of administering the program and leveraging the 
funds with corporate and nonprofit contributions, in full 
consultation with the Service, and to brief the Committee 
within 60 days of enactment of this Act. None of the funds may 
be used for indirect costs.
      Five-Year Reviews.--The Service is directed to complete 
all five-year reviews within the period required by law, and, 
for any determination on the basis of such review whether a 
species should be delisted, downlisted, or uplisted, promulgate 
an associated regulation and complete the rulemaking process 
prior to initiating the next status review for such species.
      Gray Wolf.--The Conferees recognize the Service's recent 
commitment to work closely with Federal, State, Tribal and 
local partners to assess the currently listed gray wolf 
entities in the Lower 48 States using the best available 
scientific information, and if appropriate, publish a proposal 
to revise the wolf's status in the Federal Register by the end 
of the calendar year.
      Grizzly Bear.--The Conferees direct the Service to work 
with ranchers, conservation groups, local governments, and 
other local partners to reduce conflicts between grizzly bears 
and livestock. These efforts should draw upon lessons learned 
with the Wolf Livestock Loss Demonstration Program to improve 
conservation outcomes while limiting effects to agricultural 
producers. Not less than 30 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, and for a duration of not less than 90 days, the 
Service and the National Park Service are directed to re-open 
the public comment period regarding the draft environmental 
impact statement with proposed alternatives for the restoration 
of grizzly bears to the North Cascades Ecosystem. Any member of 
the public in attendance at any of the associated public forums 
and wishing to voice their opinion must be afforded the 
opportunity to do so.
      Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse.--The Service is urged to 
address consultations and permitting of public and private 
projects related to the Preble's meadow jumping mouse as one of 
the highest priorities.
      Marbled Murrelet.--The Conferees are concerned that the 
draft Long Term Conservation Strategy for the marbled murrelet 
is focused primarily on inland nesting habitat when more than 
90 percent of the life cycle of this species is spent in the 
marine environment. The Conferees also recognize that while the 
relationship between nesting habitat and marbled murrelet 
abundance is well documented, there is comparatively little 
known about factors linked to the marine environment, including 
environmental conditions, prey availability and bycatch 
mortality, that may be contributing to recent population 
declines in Washington, Oregon, and California. Therefore, the 
Conferees urge the Service to partner with the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration to pursue additional studies to 
determine the full range of factors linked to the marine 
environment that may affect marbled murrelet populations and to 
develop a comprehensive set of recommendations to address those 
factors. In addition, the Service is directed to work 
collaboratively with local communities, elected officials, and 
other stakeholders in the development of the final Long Term 
Conservation Strategy for the marbled murrelet.
      National Wildlife Refuge System.--The agreement includes 
a general program increase of $1,000,000 for Wildlife and 
Habitat Management, and the Conferees encourage the Service to 
prioritize invasive species eradication activities. The 
subsistence program is continued at $2,835,000. In addition, 
$55,000,000 is provided for Refuge Maintenance Support.
      Refuge Law Enforcement.--Adequate refuge law enforcement 
is critical to protect our natural resources, staff, and more 
than 53 million visitors at refuges. The Service should request 
adequate funding so no refuge is without law enforcement at any 
time.
      Trapping on Refuges.--The Service website includes 
information on trapping on refuges at https://www.fws.gov/
refuges/visitors/trapping.html and has instituted signage at 
those refuges. Trapping information for individual refuges can 
be found on their web pages under Resource Management.
      Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge.--The Service is 
expected to follow the directive from fiscal year 2018 that 
prohibits a caribou hunt on Kagalaska Island and efforts to 
remove cattle on Chirikof and Wosnesenski Islands in the State 
of Alaska.
      Urban Wildlife Refuges.--Funding has been provided to 
continue the Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership program at the 
fiscal year 2018 enacted level and to support efforts to 
promote conservation in urban areas.
      Green River National Wildlife Refuge.--The Service is 
reminded of the direction included in Senate Report 115-276 to 
establish the Green River National Wildlife Refuge.
      Rio Mora National Wildlife Refuge.--The Conferees expect 
the Service to continue to support staffing and educational 
programming at Rio Mora National Wildlife Refuge and to 
continue dialogue with nonprofit and Tribal partners on the 
Service's plan for long-term operations of the refuge. The 
Service shall brief the Committees within 60 days of enactment 
of this Act on the status of the operations plan.
      Migratory Bird Management.--The agreement provides 
$3,237,000 as requested for aviation management, which is 
transferred to the General Operations activity to more 
accurately reflect the program's responsibilities across the 
Service.
      Law Enforcement.--The agreement includes $2,000,000 for 
combating violations of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, and the 
Service is directed to brief the Committees within 60 days of 
enactment of this Act on the proposed distribution of the 
funds.
      International Affairs.--The agreement provides 
$15,816,000 for International Affairs with the expectation that 
the Service will spend above the fiscal year 2018 enacted 
funding level for Wildlife Trafficking. Arctic Council Support 
is continued at $550,000.
      National Fish Hatchery System Operations.--The agreement 
provides $4,000,000 for Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement 
activities, of which at least $3,500,000 is to support rearing 
and population monitoring, and of which $3,000,000 is 
transferred from Habitat Assessment and Restoration. None of 
the funds may be used to terminate operations or to close any 
facility of the National Fish Hatchery System. None of the 
production programs listed in the March 2013 National Fish 
Hatchery System Strategic Hatchery and Workforce Planning 
Report may be reduced or terminated without advance, informal 
consultation with affected States and Tribes.
      Aquatic Habitat and Species Conservation.--The agreement 
includes $6,000,000 to implement the Delaware River Basin 
Conservation Act, $9,554,000 for the subsistence program, and 
$500,000 for the Lake Champlain sea lamprey program.
      Asian Carp.--The Conferees recognize the importance of 
the work conducted by the Service to combat the serious threat 
of Asian carp and provide $11,000,000 for Asian carp 
activities, of which $2,000,000 is for contract fishing and 
deterrents to extirpate Asian carp, including grass carp. 
Funding should be used to control Asian carp in the Mississippi 
and Ohio River Basins, including in Kentucky Lake, Lake 
Barkley, Tennessee river systems, and the Ohio River, and to 
prevent Asian carp from entering and establishing in the Great 
Lakes. The Service should consider the utility of creating a 
dedicated funding source to increase the intensity and 
geographic scope of efforts to prevent entry into the Great 
Lakes.
      Cooperative Landscape Conservation.--The agreement 
provides $12,500,000 for Cooperative Landscape Conservation to 
support partnerships of Federal, State, Tribal, and other 
organizations to develop shared conservation priorities as 
outlined in the congressional budget justifications provided to 
the Committees on Appropriations. Any deviation from that 
justification must be transparent and officially presented to 
the Committees on Appropriations, and there must be 
opportunities for public review and comment before any changes 
are instituted. Funding for Gulf Coast Restoration is continued 
at $1,000,000.
      General Operations.--The agreement includes $5,516,000 
for annual maintenance needs of the National Conservation 
Training Center (NCTC).

                              CONSTRUCTION

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

      The bill provides $55,613,000 for Construction, including 
$39,873,000 for the backlog of deferred maintenance principally 
at national fish hatcheries and national wildlife refuges, and 
rescinds $1,500,000 from prior year unobligated balances, of 
which $300,000 was made available by Public Law 111-8. The 
Service is directed to provide a spend plan to the Committees 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act for the deferred 
maintenance funding. The detailed allocation of funding by 
activity is included in the table at the end of this 
explanatory statement. For line-item construction, the Service 
is expected to follow the project priority list in the table 
below. When a construction project is completed or terminated 
and appropriated funds remain, the Service may use those 
balances to respond to unforeseen reconstruction, replacement, 
or repair of facilities or equipment damaged or destroyed by 
storms, floods, fires, and similar unanticipated events.

                            LAND ACQUISITION

      The bill provides $65,189,000 for Land Acquisition. The 
amounts provided by this bill for projects are shown in the 
table below, listed in priority order pursuant to the project 
list received for fiscal year 2019. Further instructions are 
contained under the Land and Water Conservation Fund heading in 
the front of this explanatory statement.
      In a time when budgetary constraints allow for only a 
limited number of new land acquisition projects, the Conferees 
are encouraged by programs that leverage public/private 
partnerships for land conservation like the Highlands 
Conservation Act, which has a record of more than a 2 to 1 
ratio in non-Federal matching funds. Therefore, the Conferees 
include $20,000,000 for the Highlands Conservation Act Grants 
and direct the Service to work with the Highlands States 
regarding priority projects for fiscal year 2019.

be derived from the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation 
Fund and $30,800,000 is to be derived from the Land and Water

                         National Park Service

                 OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM

      The bill provides $2,502,711,000 for the Operation of the 
National Park System. All programs, projects, and activities 
are maintained at fiscal year 2018 levels, unless otherwise 
specified below.
      For this and all other Service accounts funded in this 
bill, the Service is expected to comply with the instructions 
and requirements at the beginning of this division and in House 
Report 115-765 and Senate Report 115-276, unless otherwise 
specified below. The Service is directed to submit to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 60 days of 
enactment of this Act, an operating plan for the Operation of 
the National Park System appropriation that includes any 
necessary adjustments to the amounts provided to maintain park 
operations of all units budgeted in the fiscal year 2019 
request. Such plan shall be subject to the reprogramming 
guidelines contained in this explanatory statement. Additional 
details, instructions, and requirements follow below and in the 
table at the end of this division.
      Resource Stewardship.--The agreement includes: $3,000,000 
for zebra mussel and quagga mussel containment, prevention, and 
enforcement; $10,032,000 for Everglades restoration; $1,500,000 
to continue landscape restoration at newly authorized national 
parks, as provided by Public Law 114-113; and a total of 
$800,000 to continue cave and karst ecosystem research.
      Visitor Services.--The agreement rejects all of the 
reductions proposed in the budget request. The Service is 
reminded of the directive in House Report 115-765 with regard 
to maintaining fiscal year 2018 funding levels.
      Park Protection.--The agreement does not include a one-
time increase provided in fiscal year 2018 for the replacement 
of Park Police aircraft. Annual funding related to new aircraft 
is provided under Park Support and includes a program increase 
of $1,200,000 to return the Service to a standard aircraft 
replacement cycle.
      Facility Operations and Maintenance.--The agreement 
includes $135,980,000 for repair and rehabilitation projects 
and $151,575,000 for cyclic maintenance.
      Park Support.--The agreement includes $10,535,000 of 
increases requested in the budget addendum, including: 
$6,225,000 for additional park rangers; $830,000 for increased 
law enforcement training costs; $1,200,000 for the U.S. Park 
Police helicopter replacement; $1,300,000 for public health 
officers; $150,000 for unmanned aircraft services expertise; 
$400,000 for Katahdin Woods and Waters; $965,000 for new parks 
such as Ste. Genevieve, Birmingham Civil Rights, and Freedom 
Riders; and $400,000 for Captain John Smith National Heritage 
Trail to manage the new land acquisition of Werowocomoco. The 
agreement also includes $500,000 for the Semiquincentennial 
Commission to be expended in accordance with the United States 
Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016. Funding for the 
Roosevelt-Campobello International Park is maintained at the 
fiscal year 2018 level. Funding requested for the agency's 
reorganization efforts is provided subject to the guidance 
included at the front of this explanatory statement.
      The Conferees note there are concerns regarding the 
Service's current inventory of hand-held equipment supporting 
global positioning systems. These systems are at end-of-life 
and have operating systems that are no longer supported by the 
developer. The Service is directed to brief the Committees on 
these issues within 90 days of enactment of this Act.
      External Administrative Costs.--The agreement includes 
$184,925,000 for external administrative costs, including 
required fixed costs.
      Quagga and Zebra Mussel Control.--The Conferees remain 
concerned about the spread of quagga and zebra mussels in the 
West and have provided $3,000,000 for continued containment, 
prevention, and enforcement efforts, equal to the fiscal year 
2018 enacted level.
      Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park.--The 
agreement includes requested funding for the Blackstone River 
Valley National Historical Park with the expectation that the 
Service will continue to make funds available to the local 
coordinating entity to maintain staffing and capacity to assist 
in management of the park as authorized in Public Law 113-291.
      Captain John Smith National Historic Trail.--The 
Conferees strongly disagree with the Service's decision to 
proceed with management changes that affect the Service's 
Chesapeake Bay Office, the Captain John Smith Chesapeake 
National Historic Trail, and the Werowocomoco site despite 
congressional concerns. The Service is directed to produce the 
report required by Senate Report 115-276 that details the 
Service's legal authorities to make the change and the steps it 
plans to take to ensure that the management changes do not 
weaken the Service's commitment to Chesapeake Bay Program 
partnerships.
      Denali National Park Road.--The Conferees are 
particularly concerned about the condition of the Denali 
National Park road and direct the Service to follow the 
guidance contained in Senate Report 115-276 concerning the 
road.
      Everglades Restoration.--The Conferees note the progress 
made toward restoration of the Everglades ecosystem and 
continue to support this multi-year effort to preserve one of 
the great ecological treasures of the United States.
      Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.--The Conferees 
acknowledge the Service's submission of the report required by 
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 concerning Federal 
funds allocated for the Oklahoma City Memorial. The Service 
should continue to work with all interested stakeholders to 
determine options for providing the fully authorized level of 
$5,000,000 for the memorial.
      Point Reyes National Seashore.--The Conferees note that 
multi-generational ranching and dairying is important both 
ecologically and economically for the Point Reyes National 
Seashore and the surrounding community. These historic 
activities are also fully consistent with Congress's intent for 
the management of Point Reyes National Seashore. The Conferees 
are aware that the Service is conducting a public process to 
comply with a multi-party settlement agreement that includes 
the preparation of an environmental impact statement to study 
the effects of dairying and ranching on the park. The Conferees 
strongly support the inclusion of alternatives that continue 
ranching and dairying, including the Service's Initial Proposal 
to allow existing ranch families to continue ranching and 
dairying operations under agricultural lease/permits with 20-
year terms, and expect the Service to make every effort to 
finalize a General Management Plan Amendment that continues 
these historic activities.
      Trestles Historic District.--The Conferees recognize that 
Trestles Beach plays a vital role in the training and readiness 
of the United States Marine Corps and note that amendments to 
the National Historic Preservation Act included in National 
Park Service Centennial Act (P.L. 114-289) modified the 
nomination and approval process for the listing of Federal 
properties on the National Register of Historic Places. The 
Conferees also note the Department has taken the position that 
it does not have jurisdiction to hear an appeal alleging a 
failure of the Department of the Navy to nominate the Trestles 
Historic District to the National Register and do not expect 
the Department to take any further action on this issue.

                  NATIONAL RECREATION AND PRESERVATION

      The bill provides $64,138,000 for national recreation and 
preservation programs and includes the following additional 
instructions.
      Heritage Partnership Program.--The agreement includes 
$20,321,000 for the Heritage Partnership Program. The Conferees 
continue to encourage individual heritage areas to develop 
plans for long-term sufficiency. The Conferees commend the 
Alliance of National Heritage Areas, in response to 
congressional direction, for developing an allocation model 
that maintains core services of more established areas while 
proposing additional resources to newer areas. The Conferees 
note this progress and direct the Service to work with heritage 
areas to further develop consensus toward a sustainable funding 
distribution. As this effort continues, the Conferees expect 
the Service to distribute funds in the same manner as fiscal 
year 2017 with the increase above the enacted level to be 
equally distributed to Tier 1 areas or Tier 2 areas currently 
receiving the minimum funding levels of $150,000 and $300,000 
respectively.
      Natural Programs.--The Conferees maintain funding for 
Natural Programs, including the Chesapeake Gateways and Trails 
program and Rivers, Trails, and Conservation, at the fiscal 
year 2018 enacted level.
      Cultural Programs.--The agreement includes $25,562,000 
for cultural programs, an increase of $500,000 above the 
enacted level. The increase above the enacted level is provided 
pursuant to 20 U.S.C. 4451(b) for grants to nonprofit 
organizations or institutions for the purpose of supporting 
programs for Native Hawaiian or Alaska Native culture and arts 
development at a total program level of $1,000,000 to be 
utilized consistent with the direction outlined in the 
explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 115-141. This 
program is a good example of a multi-state, multi-
organizational collaboration as envisioned under the American 
Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Culture and Art 
Development Act. Other cultural programs, including grants to 
preserve and interpret Japanese American Confinement Sites, are 
continued at their fiscal year 2018 levels.
      Grants Administration.--The agreement does not include 
the proposed transfer of grants administration to cultural 
programs as proposed in the request.
      Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation 
Grants.--The agreement supports the Native American Graves 
Protection and Repatriation Grant Program and maintains funding 
at the fiscal year 2018 enacted level.
      American Battlefield Protection Program Assistance 
Grants.--Funding is provided at the fiscal year 2018 enacted 
level. The Conferees recognize the importance of public-private 
partnerships to maintain the preservation of America's 
battlefields and urge the Service to give priority to projects 
with broad partner support. The Conferees continue to encourage 
the timely review and processing of grants.

                       HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND

      The bill provides $102,660,000 for the Historic 
Preservation Fund. Within this amount, $49,675,000 is provided 
for grants to States and $11,735,000 is provided for grants to 
Tribes. The bill also includes $15,250,000 for competitive 
grants, of which $750,000 is for grants to underserved 
communities and $14,500,000 is for competitive grants to 
document, interpret, and preserve historical sites associated 
with the Civil Rights Movement. The agreement also includes 
$8,000,000 for competitive grants to Historically Black 
Colleges and Universities and $13,000,000 for the Save 
America's Treasures competitive grant program for the 
preservation of nationally significant sites, structures, and 
artifacts.
      The agreement continues $5,000,000 for preservation 
grants to revitalize historic properties of national, State, 
and local significance in order to restore, protect, and foster 
economic development of rural villages and downtown areas. 
Grants shall be made available to States, local governments, 
Tribes, or community or statewide non-profit organizations for 
the purpose of making sub-grants to eligible projects. Priority 
shall be given to applicants with a demonstrated capacity for 
allocating similar awards for preservation of such sites. To 
ensure that limited funds are targeted in the most effective 
manner, the Conferees recommend that the Service give priority 
to applicants that cap their administrative costs at no more 
than five percent. The Service shall confer with the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to finalizing a grant 
announcement for these funds and shall distribute grants 
expeditiously.

                              CONSTRUCTION

      The bill provides $364,704,000 for Construction and 
includes a general program increase of $127,151,000 above the 
request to address longstanding deferred maintenance and major 
construction related requirements of the Service. The Service 
is directed to provide, no later than 60 days after enactment 
of this Act, an operating plan for the allocation of funds, 
including Line Item Construction projects. Requests for 
reprogramming will be considered pursuant to the guidelines 
included at the beginning of this explanatory statement. No 
funds are provided for project number 16, entitled 
``Rehabilitate Historic Main Parade Ground Barracks'' at the 
Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The Conferees have 
become aware that the proposed project is intended as part of a 
future plan to relocate the Service's Pacific West Regional 
Office from its current location in California. However, the 
budget request does not indicate any such plans, and the 
Department subsequently implemented new regional boundaries for 
the Service as of August, 2018. Therefore, it is premature to 
fund this project during fiscal year 2019. The Conferees 
further note with concern that the Service decided to move the 
current regional office without first consulting stakeholders 
and Congress. The Service is reminded that major organizational 
proposals like this should be disclosed as part of the annual 
budget proposal so that Congress and the public have 
opportunity to vet them.
      Gustavus Intertie, Glacier NP.--The Conferees direct the 
Service to consult regularly with the City of Gustavus as it 
issues the RFP, prospectus, and design/build contracts for the 
intertie at Glacier Bay National Park.

                 LAND ACQUISITION AND STATE ASSISTANCE

      The bill provides $168,444,000 for Land Acquisition and 
State Assistance. The amounts provided by this bill for 
projects are shown in the table below, listed in priority order 
pursuant to the project list received for fiscal year 2019. 
Further instructions are contained under the Land and Water 
Conservation Fund heading in the front of this explanatory 
statement.

               TITLE II--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

      The bill provides $8,058,488,000 for the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA). The bill does not support reductions 
proposed in the budget request unless explicitly noted in the 
explanatory statement.
      Congressional Budget Justification.--The Agency is 
directed to continue to include the information requested in 
House Report 112-331 and any proposals to change State 
allocation formulas that affect the distribution of 
appropriated funds in future budget justifications.
      Reprogramming and Workforce Reshaping.--The agreement 
does not include any of the requested funds for workforce 
reshaping. Further, the Conferees do not expect the Agency to 
consolidate or close any regional offices in fiscal year 2019. 
The Agency is held to the reprogramming limitation of 
$1,000,000 and should continue to follow the reprogramming 
directives as provided in the front of this explanatory 
statement. It is noted that such reprogramming directives apply 
to proposed reorganizations, workforce restructure, reshaping, 
transfer of functions, or downsizing, especially those of 
significant national or regional importance, and include 
closures, consolidations, and relocations of offices, 
facilities, and laboratories.
      Further, the Agency may not use any amount of de-
obligated funds to initiate a new program, office, or 
initiative, without the prior approval of the Committees. 
Within 30 days of enactment of this Act, the Agency is directed 
to submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
its annual operating plan for fiscal year 2019, which shall 
detail how the Agency plans to allocate funds at the program 
project level.
      Other.--It is noted that the current workforce is below 
the prior year levels, therefore, the agreement includes 
rescissions in the Science and Technology and Environmental 
Programs and Management accounts that capture expected savings 
associated with such changes. The Agency is directed to apply 
the rescissions to reflect efficiency savings in a manner that 
seeks, to the extent practicable, to be proportional among 
program project areas. Amounts provided in this Act are 
sufficient to fully fund Agency payroll estimates, and the 
Conferees expect the Agency's fiscal year 2019 FTE target to be 
no less than the fiscal year 2018 levels. The Conferees 
understand that the Agency routinely makes funding payroll 
requirements a top priority and expect the Agency will continue 
to do so as it executes its fiscal year 2019 appropriation and 
applies the rescissions.
      The Conferees do not expect the Agency will undertake 
adverse personnel actions or incentive programs to comply with 
the rescissions, nor do the Conferees expect the Agency will 
undertake large-scale adverse personnel actions or incentive 
programs in fiscal year 2019. As specified in the bill 
language, the rescissions shall not apply to the Geographic 
Programs, the National Estuary Program, and the National 
Priorities funding in the Science and Technology and 
Environmental Programs and Management accounts. The Agency is 
directed to submit, as part of the operating plan, details on 
the application of such rescissions at the program project 
level.

accompanying Public Law 115-141. This jointly funded, multi-
year government-industry research initiative should be used to 
produce credible science of national scope on such development, 
including review of existing exposure and health studies 
already underway, and future research. The Agency is encouraged 
to submit a report updating the Committees on the 
implementation of this partnership within 90 days of enactment 
of this Act.
      Research: Chemical Safety and Sustainability.--The bill 
provides $126,930,000 for Research: Chemical Safety and 
Sustainability. Following guidance contained in the explanatory 
statement accompanying Public Law 115-141 and House Report 115-
765, EPA also is directed to include advancement of methods to 
better separately evaluate chemical hazards and exposures and 
that take into consideration harm to potentially exposed and 
susceptible subpopulations.
      Research: National Priorities.--The bill provides 
$5,000,000, which shall be used for extramural research grants, 
independent of the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grant 
program, to fund high-priority water quality and availability 
research by not-for-profit organizations that often partner 
with the Agency. The Agency shall continue to allocate the 
grants in accordance with the direction provided in the 
explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 115-141.
      Additional Guidance.--The agreement includes the 
following additional guidance:
      Alternatives Testing.--The Agency is directed to follow 
the guidance contained under this heading in House Report 115-
765 and to ensure that any future plans identify and address 
potential barriers or limitations on the use of alternative 
test methods, particularly as they relate to susceptible 
populations.
      Enhanced Aquifer Use.--The Agency is directed to continue 
following the guidance contained in Senate Report 114-281 in 
addition to the guidance contained in House Report 115-765 
directing the Agency to coordinate with other Federal research 
efforts in this area.
      Harmful Algal Blooms.--The Conferees recognize the 
increasing challenges many communities face from harmful algal 
blooms (HABs) in freshwater and coastal ecosystems. The 
Conferees encourage the Agency to fund research grants that 
help promote scientific progress towards preventing and 
controlling HABs, including research to: (1) determine the 
effectiveness of existing nutrient treatment technologies; (2) 
evaluate the scale-up of emerging nutrient treatment 
technologies and develop new technologies; and (3) develop best 
management practices to help both rural and urban communities 
control nutrients in their watersheds. Additionally, $5,000,000 
is made available to investigate health effects from exposure 
to HABs and cyanobacteria toxins and to develop methods to 
monitor, characterize, and predict blooms for early action.
      STAR Grants.--The bill provides funds to continue the 
Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, and the Conferees 
direct the Agency to distribute grants consistent with fiscal 
year 2018.

                 ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS AND MANAGEMENT

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

      For Environmental Programs and Management, the bill 
provides $2,658,200,000 to be partially offset by a $60,201,000 
rescission for a net discretionary appropriation of 
$2,597,999,000. The bill provides the following specific 
funding levels and direction:
      Clean Air.--The bill provides $273,108,000 for Clean Air. 
The Conferees continue to support the EnergySTAR program for 
both appliances and buildings at the fiscal year 2018 enacted 
level and do not recommend a shift to fee-based funding, as 
proposed. The Conferees are concerned that litigation over non-
compliance of voluntary EnergySTAR efficiency standards, which 
can be the result of a standard that has changed, may lead some 
participants to avoid participating in the program. The 
Conferees also are aware of the need for products carrying the 
EnergySTAR label to achieve the required efficiency levels to 
best benefit consumers. The Conferees direct the Agency to 
evaluate how the Agency may balance these interests to ensure 
that the EnergySTAR program is both fair to voluntary 
participants and reliable for consumers and to report back to 
the Conferees within 180 days of the enactment of this Act. The 
Conferees also fund both program areas related to stratospheric 
ozone at not less than the fiscal year 2018 enacted level.
      Environmental Protection: National Priorities.--The bill 
provides $15,000,000 for a competitive grant program for 
qualified non-profit organizations, excluding institutions of 
higher education, to provide technical assistance for improved 
water quality or safe drinking water and adequate waste water

shall provide $12,300,000 for Grassroots Rural and Small 
Community Water Systems Assistance Act, for activities 
specified under section 1442(e) of the Safe Drinking Water Act 
(42 U.S.C. 300j-1(e)(8)). The Agency also is directed to 
provide $1,700,000 for grants to qualified not-for-profit 
organizations for technical assistance for individual private 
well owners, with priority given to organizations that 
currently provide technical and educational assistance to 
individual private well owners. The Agency is directed to 
provide, on a national and multi-State regional basis, 
$1,000,000 for grants to qualified organizations for the sole 
purpose of providing on-site training and technical assistance 
for wastewater systems. The Agency shall require each grantee 
to provide a minimum 10 percent match, including in-kind 
contributions. The Agency is directed to allocate funds to 
grantees within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
      The Conferees remain concerned that the Agency made a 
decision to put out a multi-year Request for Applications for 
fiscal year 2017 and 2018 without the expressed approval of the 
Committees. The Agency is directed to obtain approval from the 
Committees for any similar activity in the future.
      Geographic Programs.--The bill provides $456,958,000, as

(CWA) has regulated effects to navigable waters, while 
regulation of groundwater has remained outside of the Act's 
jurisdiction. Instead, legislative history surrounding the CWA 
indicates that Congress intended for groundwater pollution to 
be regulated through the CWA's nonpoint source program and 
other Federal and State laws.
      Small Refinery Relief.--The Conferees continue the 
directive contained in Senate Report 114-281 related to small

implemented. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that in 
fiscal year 2019 fee collections will begin several months 
after the beginning of the fiscal year and will total 
$5,000,000.
      Transparency of Public Calendars.--It is appreciated that 
the EPA has recently taken steps to improve transparency of the 
daily calendars of the Agency's senior leaders. The Agency is 
directed to continue to take all necessary steps to comply with 
Senate Report 115-276 as it relates to the transparency of

                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE

                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES

      The bill provides a total of $5,804,223,000 for the 
Indian Health Service (IHS), of which $4,103,190,000 is for the 
Services account as detailed below. All programs, projects, and 
activities are maintained at fiscal year 2018 enacted levels 
unless otherwise specified below. The Service is expected to 
comply with the instructions and requirements at the beginning 
of this division and in House Report 115-765 and Senate Report 
115-276, unless otherwise specified below. Additional details, 
instructions, and requirements follow below and in the table at 
the end of this division.
      Staffing for New Facilities.--The agreement includes 
$103,931,000 for staffing newly opened health facilities, which 
is the full amount based upon updated estimates provided to the 
Committees. Funds for the staffing of new facilities are 
limited to facilities funded through the Health Care Facilities 
Construction Priority System or the Joint Venture Construction 
Program that have opened in fiscal year 2018 or will open in 
fiscal year 2019. None of these funds may be allocated to a 
facility until such facility has achieved beneficial occupancy 
status.
      Hospitals and Health Clinics.--The agreement provides 
$2,147,343,000 for hospitals and health clinics, and includes 
$36,000,000 for operations and maintenance of village built and 
tribally leased clinics, and $4,000,000 for domestic violence 
prevention. The Conferees are aware of ongoing litigation 
between the Cherokee Nation and the United Keetoowah Band of 
Cherokee Indians. The Conferees are neutral on this matter and 
have provided the request of $1,969,000 for new Tribes. The 
agency is expected to consult with both parties before 
disbursing funds.
      Dental Health.--The agreement provides $204,672,000 for 
dental health and includes the requested transfer of $800,000 
from direct operations. The Service is directed to backfill 
vacant dental health positions in headquarters.
      Mental Health.--The agreement provides $105,281,000 for 
mental health programs and includes $6,946,000 to continue 
behavioral health integration and $3,600,000 to continue the 
suicide prevention initiative.
      Alcohol and Substance Abuse.--The agreement provides 
$245,566,000 for alcohol and substance abuse programs and 
includes: $6,500,000 for the Generation Indigenous initiative; 
$1,800,000 for the youth pilot project; and $2,000,000 to fund 
essential detoxification and related services provided by the 
Service's public and private partners to IHS beneficiaries. The 
Conferees expect the Service to continue its partnership with 
the Na' Nizhoozhi Center in Gallup, New Mexico, as directed by 
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, and to distribute 
funds provided for detoxification services in the same manner 
as in fiscal year 2017. The Conferees believe that Service and 
Tribally operated facility participation in state prescription 
drug monitoring programs can help to combat the abuse of drugs 
like opioids and direct the agency to provide the report 
required by Senate Report 115-276 on this issue.
      Opioid Grants.--To better combat the opioid epidemic, the 
Conferees have included an increase of $10,000,000 and instruct 
the Service, in coordination with the Assistant Secretary for 
Mental Health and Substance Use, to use the additional funds 
provided above the fiscal year 2018 level to create a Special 
Behavioral Health Pilot Program modeled after the Special 
Diabetes Program for Indians. This Special Behavioral Health 
Pilot Program for Indians shall be developed after appropriate 
Tribal consultation and should support the development, 
documentation, and sharing of more locally-designed and 
culturally appropriate prevention, treatment, and aftercare 
services for mental health and substance use disorders in 
Tribal and urban Indian communities. The Director of the Indian 
Health Service, in coordination with the Assistant Secretary 
for Mental Health and Substance Use, shall award grants for 
providing services, and provide technical assistance to 
grantees under this section to collect and evaluate performance 
of the program.
      Purchased/Referred Care.--The Conferees recognize the 
strong need for Purchased/Referred Care funding across Indian 
Country, particularly in areas that lack Indian Health Service 
facilities. The Conferees further recognize the Service's 
continued pro rata allocation of any increases provided for 
population growth and inflation, regardless of any population 
growth or cost-of-living differences among areas, as documented 
by the Government Accountability Office (GAO-12-466). 
Consistent with GAO recommendations, the Conferees encourage 
the Service to consider allocating any future budget increases 
using the allocation formula established in consultation with 
the Tribes.
      Urban Indian Health.--The agreement provides $51,315,000 
for urban Indian health and includes a $2,000,000 general 
program increase. The Service is expected to continue to 
include current services estimates for urban Indian health in 
future budget requests.
      Indian Health Professions.--The agreement provides 
$57,363,000 for Indian health professions and includes bill 
language allowing up to $44,000,000 for the loan repayment 
program. The agreement provides an increase of $195,000 to 
expand the Indians into Medicine program to four sites. Funding 
for the Quentin N. Burdick American Indians into Nursing 
Program and the American Indians into Psychology Program is 
continued at no less than the fiscal year 2018 enacted levels.
      Maternal and Child Health.--The Conferees support the 
hiring of a national maternal/child health coordinator as a top 
priority for the Office of Clinical and Preventive Services and 
await the report required in House Report 115-765.

                         CONTRACT SUPPORT COSTS

      The bill continues language from fiscal year 2018 
establishing an indefinite appropriation for contract support 
costs estimated to be $822,227,000, which is equal to the 
request. By retaining an indefinite appropriation for this 
account, additional funds may be provided by the agency if its 
budget estimate proves to be lower than necessary to meet the 
legal obligation to pay the full amount due to Tribes. The 
Conferees believe fully funding these costs will ensure Tribes 
have the necessary resources they need to deliver program 
services efficiently and effectively.

                        INDIAN HEALTH FACILITIES

      The bill provides $878,806,000 for Indian Health 
Facilities. All programs, projects, and activities are 
maintained at fiscal year 2018 enacted levels unless otherwise 
specified below.
      Staffing for New Facilities.--The agreement includes 
$11,302,000 for staffing newly opened health facilities, which 
is the full amount based upon updated estimates provided to the 
Committees. The stipulations included in the ``Indian Health 
Services'' account regarding the allocation of funds pertain to 
this account as well.
      Health Care Facilities.--The Conferees remain dedicated 
to providing access to health care for IHS patients across the 
system. IHS is expected to aggressively work down the current 
Health Facilities Construction Priority System list. In 
addition, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the Service 
is directed to publish the gap analysis directed by House 
Report 115-238 so that the Committees can more accurately 
determine facilities needs across the IHS system.
      Indian Health Care Improvement Act Demonstration 
Authorities.--The Conferees direct the Service to provide a 
report within 180 days of enactment of this Act identifying the 
criteria the agency will use for ranking projects funded 
through demonstration authorities provided in the most recent 
reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act 
should funds become available in future fiscal years. The 
Service is encouraged to consider as one factor the location of 
existing or proposed facilities and the distance that patients 
must travel to receive the same or similar services.
      Health Facilities Requirements in Alaska.--The Service is 
directed to work with appropriate Tribal organizations and 
submit a report to the Committees within 180 days of this Act 
that includes an assessment of updated facilities needs in the 
State of Alaska as well as recommendations for alternative 
financing options which could address the need for additional 
health care facilities space suitable to meet the current and 
future health care needs of IHS beneficiaries in the State.

                     National Institutes of Health

          NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES

      The agreement provides $79,000,000 for the National 
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. This includes an 
increase of $1,500,000 for the Superfund Research Program and 
$151,000 for the Worker Training Program.

            Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry

            TOXIC SUBSTANCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH

      The agreement provides $74,691,000 for the Agency for 
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
      The Conferees direct the Agency to focus on its core 
mission of assessing hazardous exposures and understand the 
Agency does not consider the presence or absence of litigation 
when evaluating the need for a public health assessment. The 
Conferees encourage the Agency to maintain professional and 
scientific independence regarding its selection of sites for 
assessment while following its statutory mandate to work with 
communities.
      Areas with High Incidence of Pediatric Cancer.--Within 
180 days of enactment, ATSDR, in consultation with other 
components of the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS), is directed to submit to the Senate Appropriations and 
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committees and House 
Appropriations and Energy and Commerce Committees a report that 
provides details on the geographic variation in pediatric 
cancer incidence in the United States. Such report must 
include: (1) the types of pediatric cancer within each of the 
10 States with the highest age-adjusted incidence rate of 
cancer among persons less than 20 years old; (2) geographic 
distribution of pediatric cancer types within each such State, 
in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
guidelines; and (3) an update on current activities related to 
pediatric cancer, including with respect to carrying out 
section 399V-6 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 
280g-17). In addition, HHS is encouraged to conduct public 
outreach, in collaboration with State departments of health, 
particularly in the 10 States with the highest age-adjusted 
incidence rate of cancer among persons aged less than 20 years 
old, to improve awareness by residents, clinicians, and others, 
as appropriate, of possible contributing factors to pediatric 
cancer, including environmental exposures, in a manner that is 
complementary of, and does not conflict with, ongoing pediatric 
cancer-related activities supported by HHS. Finally, the 
Secretary of HHS is directed to ensure that all information 
with respect to patients that is contained in the reports under 
this section is de-identified and protects personal privacy of 
such patients in accordance with applicable Federal and State 
privacy law.

Consultation with all affected parties and agencies is the key 
to a transparent, orderly closeout. The statute provides for

irreplaceable Smithsonian collections and have provided funds 
for collections care and preservation. The Conferees continue 
their longstanding support for the National Museum of African 
American History and Culture (NMAAHC). Within amounts provided 
for salaries and expenses, the NMAAHC is fully funded. The 
Conferees provide funds for the Institution's Latino 
initiatives and support the Smithsonian Latino Center's goal of 
promoting the inclusion of Latino contributions in Smithsonian 
Institution programs, exhibitions, collections, and public 
outreach. The Conferees continue to urge collaboration between 
the Smithsonian Latino Center and appropriate Federal and local 
organizations in order to advance these goals and expand the 
American Latino presence at the Institution. Further, the 
Conferees provide funds for the Institution's Asian Pacific 
American initiatives and continue to support the Institution's 
efforts of developing programs and expanding outreach to

programs.
      The Conferees understand that over the last few years 
several museums have been closed due to renovations and the 
Institution has shifted resources to address certain needs; 
however, today these museums have reopened resulting in 
increased costs that were not accounted for in the budget 
request. The Conferees provide $2,500,000 above the budget 
request for facilities security and remind the Institution that 
if funding priorities change, there is the opportunity to 
request the reprogramming of funds as outlined in the 
reprogramming guidelines contained at the front of this

this explanatory statement and may not redirect the use of 
these funds for other capital projects without prior approval

Conferees direct the Institution to make available to the 
Committees on a timely basis the most updated and comprehensive 
information on project and funding requirements. The Government 
Accountability Office is directed to continue its review and 
analysis of the project's cost estimates, as directed in the

honor of the 100th anniversary of the passage and ratification 
of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which 
guaranteed women the right to vote. However, the Commission has 
not yet been established with the necessary quorum of seven 
members to select a chair, hire an executive director, and 
begin operations. The Conferees are concerned that further 
delay will hinder the development and execution of programs and

the Executive Branch, to appoint their nominees to the 
Commission as soon as possible.

          (1) the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the

        encourage Arab League states to normalize their 
        relations with Israel to bring about the termination of 
        the Arab League boycott of Israel, including those to 
        encourage allies and trading partners of the United

                Bank and Gaza, including the dismantling of

          (2) the Palestinian Authority (or the governing 
        entity of a new Palestinian state) is working with 
        other countries in the region to vigorously pursue 
        efforts to establish a just, lasting, and comprehensive 
        peace in the Middle East that will enable Israel and an 
        independent Palestinian state to exist within the 
        context of full and normal relationships, which should 
        include--
                  (A) termination of all claims or states of 
                belligerency;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on February 13, 2019 by Mrs. Lowey of New York, 
Chairwoman of the House Committee on Appropriations. The Statement 
appears on page H1934 of Book II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   DIVISION F--DEPARTMENT OF STATE, FOREIGN OPERATIONS, AND RELATED 
                   PROGRAMS APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2019

      In implementing this conference agreement, Federal 
departments, agencies, commissions, and other entities are 
directed to comply with the directives, reporting requirements, 
and instructions contained in H. Rept. 115-829 (House report) 
accompanying H.R. 6385 (House bill) and S. Rept. 115-282 
(Senate report) accompanying S. 3108 (Senate bill) as though 
stated in this joint explanatory statement, unless specifically 
directed to the contrary.
      This joint explanatory statement, while repeating some 
House and Senate report language for emphasis or clarification, 
does not negate language in such reports unless expressly 
provided herein. Language expressing an opinion or making an 
observation in the House or Senate reports represents the view 
of the respective committee unless specifically endorsed in 
this joint explanatory statement. In cases in which the House 
and Senate reports provide contradictory directives or 
contradictory instructions that are not addressed in this joint 
explanatory statement, such directives or instructions are 
negated.
      Reports required to be submitted pursuant to the Act, 
including reports required by this joint explanatory statement 
and the House and Senate reports, may not be consolidated to 
include responses to multiple requirements in a single report, 
except following consultation with the Committees on 
Appropriations.
      In lieu of the tables and allocations of funding 
contained in the House and Senate reports, the tables and such 
allocations contained in this joint explanatory statement shall 
guide departments, agencies, commissions, and other entities 
when allocating funds.
      Section 7019 of the Act requires that amounts designated 
in the respective tables referenced in this joint explanatory 
statement for funds appropriated in titles III through V, 
including tables in title VII, shall be made available in such 
designated amounts, unless otherwise provided for in the Act, 
and shall be the basis of the report required by section 653(a) 
of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA) (the 653(a) 
report), where applicable. The section also includes limited 
authority to deviate from such specified amounts and continues 
language similar to prior years including exceptions to the 
application of the requirements of such section for amounts 
designated in tables included in this joint explanatory 
statement for International Military Education and Training, 
Global Health Programs, and Economic Support Fund/Global 
Programs, funds for which the initial period of availability 
has expired, amounts designated by the Act as minimum funding 
requirements, and funds made available for a country pursuant 
to sections 7043(c), 7047(d), and 7071(b) of the Act.
      Proposed deviations from tables in titles I and II in 
this joint explanatory statement are subject to the regular 
notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations, 
unless an exception or deviation authority is specifically 
provided herein.
      For the purposes of this joint explanatory statement, the 
term ``prior Acts'' means prior Acts making appropriations for 
the Department of State, foreign operations, and related 
programs. In addition, any reference to ``division K of Public 
Law 115-141'' means the Department of State, Foreign 
Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2018, and 
any reference to ``division J of Public Law 115-31'' means the 
Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 2017.
      For purposes of the Act and joint explanatory statement, 
the term ``regular notification procedures of the Committees on 
Appropriations'' means such Committees are notified not less 
than 15 days in advance of the obligation of funds. The 
Secretary of State and USAID Administrator are directed to 
submit notifications for the obligation of funds made available 
by the Act and prior Acts not later than 60 days prior to the 
expiration of such funds.
      Congressional notifications submitted by the Secretary of 
State and USAID Administrator for funds that are being 
reallocated prior to initial obligation, reprogrammed, or 
reobligated after deobligation, shall, to the maximum extent 
practicable, contain detailed information about the sources of 
the funds and why such funds are no longer intended to be used 
as previously justified.
      For purposes of the Act, the term ``prior consultation'' 
means a pre-decisional engagement between a relevant Federal 
agency and the Committees on Appropriations during which the 
Committees are provided a meaningful opportunity to provide 
facts and opinions to inform: (1) the use of funds; (2) the 
development, content, or conduct of a program or activity; or 
(3) a decision to be taken. Direction to consult with the 
``Committee'' in either the House or Senate reports shall mean 
to consult with the Committees on Appropriations.
      In the Act, the term ``stabilization assistance'' has the 
same meaning as defined by the Stabilization Assistance Review 
in ``A Framework for Maximizing the Effectiveness of U.S. 
Government Efforts to Stabilize Conflict-Affected Areas, 
2018.''
      As in prior fiscal years, additional funding designated 
as Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism 
(OCO/GWOT) pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA) is contained in title VIII 
of the Act. Such funds are intended to address the 
extraordinary costs of operations and assistance in countries 
in conflict and areas of instability and violence, particularly 
in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa; security,

contained in the Senate bill for the Export-Import Bank to 
retain collected receipts to fund the Bank's carryover account. 
Due to the lack of a quorum on its Board of Directors, the Bank 
was unable to generate enough offsetting collections in fiscal 
year 2018 to fund its carryover account, and the conferees 
anticipate that receipts will also not be sufficient in fiscal 
year 2019. This authority can be reconsidered in fiscal year 
2020.

audits, inspections, and investigations, of the newly

Inspector General shall consult with the Committees on 
Appropriations on such plans. In addition, the reorganization

appropriated in prior Acts that are made available for the RRF 
should also be made available for assistance for Lebanon and 
for countries in East and West Africa, the Sahel, and the Lake 
Chad Basin region.
      Funds made available for the RRF shall be made available, 
to the maximum extent practicable, on a cost-matching basis

      In implementing such public-private partnership program, 
the Secretary of State and the USAID Administrator shall: (1)

central government to commit to implementation of such program

programs conducted by other Federal agencies and international 
donors.

organization and a brief description of each operating unit;

reorganization is complete; (3) an assessment of how the 
proposed action will improve the efficiency, effectiveness, 
performance, and accountability (including through modernizing 
information technology platforms and streamlining 
administrative functions) of the department, agency, or 
organization; (4) an analysis of the impact of any such change 
on the ability to advance the national interest of the United 
States through diplomacy and development, and to conduct 
adequate monitoring and oversight of foreign assistance 
programs, and any legislative change necessary to implement 
such proposals; (5) the estimated cost, including for design, 
implementation, facilities, and personnel for fiscal years 2019 
and 2020; (6) the estimated timeline to complete the proposed 
action; and (7) an assessment of any cost savings and 
efficiencies achieved through implementation of each element of 
the proposed action.
      The conferees direct the USAID Administrator to update, 
as appropriate and in writing, the Committees on Appropriations 
if implementing the recommendations and conclusions of the 
Foreign Assistance Review (FAR) would affect the information or 
proposed changes in USAID ``Reorg CNs #1-9''.

submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations detailing

United States Direct Hire employees working directly on 
implementation of each reorganization and the source of such 
funding; (2) a project status and projected timeline for each 
of the reorganizations based on the milestones and timelines 
provided to the Committees on Appropriations on October 30, 
2018; and (3) actual and anticipated United States Direct Hire 
workforce level changes by bureau and operating unit as a 
result of the reorganizations, including staffing shifts 
between functions.
      Not later than 60 days after completion of the zero-based 
budgeting and personnel staffing exercise being conducted in 
support of USAID's transformation initiative, the USAID 
Administrator shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations 
a detailed report that includes: (1) a summary of the operating 
and personnel costs, including such costs that are paid from 
program funds, of each operating unit, overseas mission, or 
overseas office prior to transformation; (2) an estimate of 
such costs for each operating unit, overseas mission, or 
overseas office after transformation; and (3) a comparison of 
the total operating cost of the Agency prior to, and after, 
transformation detailed by Overseas Missions costs, Washington 
Support costs, and Central Support costs, and their 
subcategories.
      The USAID Administrator shall regularly consult with the 
appropriate congressional committees and development 
stakeholders on efforts to transition nations from assistance 
recipients to enduring diplomatic, economic, and security 
partners, which shall include any changes to the guiding 
principles and metrics to support such efforts, and on other 
matters related to the implementation plan required by section 
7069(b) of division K of Public Law 115-141.
      Not later than 180 days after enactment of the Act, the

      The waiver authority and notification requirement of

financing and other requirements related to rehabilitating or 
constructing the project or projects to which the assistance is 
transferred, to ensure that such project or projects meet the 
standards under subsection (c).
  (c) The transfer authorized in subsection (a) is subject to 
the following conditions:
          (1) Number and bedroom size of units.--
                  (A) For occupied units in the transferring 
                project: The number of low-income and very low-
                income units and the configuration (i.e., 
                bedroom size) provided by the transferring 
                project shall be no less than when transferred 
                to the receiving project or projects and the 
                net dollar amount of Federal assistance 
                provided to the transferring project shall 
                remain the same in the receiving project or 
                projects.
                  (B) For unoccupied units in the transferring 
                project: The Secretary may authorize a 
                reduction in the number of dwelling units in 
                the receiving project or projects to allow for 
                a reconfiguration of bedroom sizes to meet 
                current market demands, as determined by the 
                Secretary and provided there is no increase in 
                the project-based assistance budget authority.
          (2) The transferring project shall, as determined by 
        the Secretary, be either physically obsolete or 
        economically nonviable.
          (3) The receiving project or projects shall meet or 
        exceed applicable physical standards established by the 
        Secretary.
          (4) The owner or mortgagor of the transferring 
        project shall notify and consult with the tenants 
        residing in the transferring project and provide a 
        certification of approval by all appropriate local 
        governmental officials.
          (5) The tenants of the transferring project who 
        remain eligible for assistance to be provided by the 
        receiving project or projects shall not be required to 
        vacate their units in the transferring project or 
        projects until new units in the receiving project are 
        available for occupancy.
          (6) The Secretary determines that this transfer is in 
        the best interest of the tenants.
          (7) If either the transferring project or the 
        receiving project or projects meets the condition 
        specified in subsection (d)(2)(A), any lien on the 
        receiving project resulting from additional financing 
        obtained by the owner shall be subordinate to any FHA-
        insured mortgage lien transferred to, or placed on, 
        such project by the Secretary, except that the 
        Secretary may waive this requirement upon determination 
        that such a waiver is necessary to facilitate the 
        financing of acquisition, construction, and/or 
        rehabilitation of the receiving project or projects.
          (8) If the transferring project meets the 
        requirements of subsection (d)(2), the owner or 
        mortgagor of the receiving project or projects shall 
        execute and record either a continuation of the 
        existing use agreement or a new use agreement for the 
        project where, in either case, any use restrictions in 
        such agreement are of no lesser duration than the 
        existing use restrictions.
          (9) The transfer does not increase the cost (as 
        defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        of 1974, as amended) of any FHA-insured mortgage, 
        except to the extent that appropriations are provided 
        in advance for the amount of any such increased cost.

          (2) is under 24 years of age;
          (3) is not a veteran;
          (4) is unmarried;
          (5) does not have a dependent child;

  Sec. 213.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in 
fiscal year 2019, in managing and disposing of any multifamily

of Housing and Urban Development, and during the process of 
foreclosure on any property with a contract for rental 
assistance payments under section 8 of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937 or other Federal programs, the Secretary 
shall maintain any rental assistance payments under section 8 
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and other programs 
that are attached to any dwelling units in the property. To the 
extent the Secretary determines, in consultation with the 
tenants and the local government, that such a multifamily 
property owned or held by the Secretary is not feasible for 
continued rental assistance payments under such section 8 or 
other programs, based on consideration of (1) the costs of 
rehabilitating and operating the property and all available 
Federal, State, and local resources, including rent adjustments 
under section 524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform 
and Affordability Act of 1997 (``MAHRAA'') and (2) 
environmental conditions that cannot be remedied in a cost-
effective fashion, the Secretary may, in consultation with the 
tenants of that property, contract for project-based rental 
assistance payments with an owner or owners of other existing 
housing properties, or provide other rental assistance. The 
Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure that 
project-based contracts remain in effect prior to foreclosure, 
subject to the exercise of contractual abatement remedies to 
assist relocation of tenants for imminent major threats to 
health and safety after written notice to and informed consent 
of the affected tenants and use of other available remedies, 
such as partial abatements or receivership. After disposition 
of any multifamily property described under this section, the 
contract and allowable rent levels on such properties shall be 
subject to the requirements under section 524 of MAHRAA.
  Sec. 214.  The commitment authority funded by fees as 
provided under the heading ``Community Development Loan 
Guarantees Program Account'' may be used to guarantee, or make 
commitments to guarantee, notes, or other obligations issued by 
any State on behalf of non-entitlement communities in the State 
in accordance with the requirements of section 108 of the

general local government in non-entitlement areas that received 
the commitment.
  Sec. 215.  Public housing agencies that own and operate 400

of a reduction of subsidy under the operating fund formula 
shall not be exempt from asset management requirements.
  Sec. 216.  With respect to the use of amounts provided in 
this Act and in future Acts for the operation, capital 
improvement and management of public housing as authorized by 
sections 9(d) and 9(e) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
(42 U.S.C. 1437g(d) and (e)), the Secretary shall not impose 
any requirement or guideline relating to asset management that 
restricts or limits in any way the use of capital funds for 
central office costs pursuant to section 9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2) of 
the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g(g)(1), 
(2)):  Provided, That a public housing agency may not use 
capital funds authorized under section 9(d) for activities that 
are eligible under section 9(e) for assistance with amounts 
from the operating fund in excess of the amounts permitted 
under section 9(g)(1) or 9(g)(2).
  Sec. 217.  No official or employee of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development shall be designated as an 
allotment holder unless the Office of the Chief Financial 
Officer has determined that such allotment holder has 
implemented an adequate system of funds control and has 
received training in funds control procedures and directives. 
The Chief Financial Officer shall ensure that there is a 
trained allotment holder for each HUD appropriation under the 
accounts ``Executive Offices'' and ``Administrative Support 
Offices,'' as well as each account receiving appropriations 
under the general heading ``Program Office Salaries and 
Expenses'', ``Government National Mortgage Association--
Guarantees of Mortgage-Backed Securities Loan Guarantee Program 
Account'', and ``Office of Inspector General'' within the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
  Sec. 218.  The Secretary of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development shall, for fiscal year 2019, notify the 
public through the Federal Register and other means, as 
determined appropriate, of the issuance of a notice of the 
availability of assistance or notice of funding availability 
(NOFA) for any program or discretionary fund administered by 
the Secretary that is to be competitively awarded. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for fiscal year 
2019, the Secretary may make the NOFA available only on the 
Internet at the appropriate Government web site or through 
other electronic media, as determined by the Secretary.
  Sec. 219.  Payment of attorney fees in program-related 
litigation shall be paid from the individual program office and 
Office of General Counsel salaries and expenses appropriations. 
The annual budget submission for the program offices and the 
Office of General Counsel shall include any such projected 
litigation costs for attorney fees as a separate line item 
request. No funds provided in this title may be used to pay any 
such litigation costs for attorney fees until the Department 
submits for review a spending plan for such costs to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
  Sec. 220.  The Secretary is authorized to transfer up to 10 
percent or $5,000,000, whichever is less, of funds appropriated 
for any office under the heading ``Administrative Support 
Offices'' or for any account under the general heading 
``Program Office Salaries and Expenses'' to any other such 
office or account:  Provided, That no appropriation for any 
such office or account shall be increased or decreased by more 
than 10 percent or $5,000,000, whichever is less, without prior 
written approval of the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations:  Provided further, That the Secretary shall 
provide notification to such Committees three business days in 
advance of any such transfers under this section up to 10 
percent or $5,000,000, whichever is less.
  Sec. 221. (a) Any entity receiving housing assistance 
payments shall maintain decent, safe, and sanitary conditions, 
as determined by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 
(in this section referred to as the ``Secretary''), and comply 
with any standards under applicable State or local laws, rules, 
ordinances, or regulations relating to the physical condition 
of any property covered under a housing assistance payment 
contract.
  (b) The Secretary shall take action under subsection (c) when 
a multifamily housing project with a section 8 contract or 
contract for similar project-based assistance--

        within 3 days that all Exigent Health and Safety 
        deficiencies identified by the inspector at the project 
        have been corrected.
Such requirements shall apply to insured and noninsured 
projects with assistance attached to the units under section 8 
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), but 
do not apply to such units assisted under section 8(o)(13) (42 
U.S.C. 1437f(o)(13)) or to public housing units assisted with 
capital or operating funds under section 9 of the United States 
Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g).
  (c)(1) Within 15 days of the issuance of the REAC inspection, 
the Secretary must provide the owner with a Notice of Default 
with a specified timetable, determined by the Secretary, for 
correcting all deficiencies. The Secretary must also provide a 
copy of the Notice of Default to the tenants, the local 
government, any mortgagees, and any contract administrator. If 
the owner's appeal results in a UPCS score of 60 or above, the 
Secretary may withdraw the Notice of Default.
  (2) At the end of the time period for correcting all 
deficiencies specified in the Notice of Default, if the owner 
fails to fully correct such deficiencies, the Secretary may--
          (A) require immediate replacement of project 
        management with a management agent approved by the 
        Secretary;
          (B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be used 
        solely for the purpose of supporting safe and sanitary 
        conditions at applicable properties, as designated by 
        the Secretary, with priority given to the tenants of 
        the property affected by the penalty;
          (C) abate the section 8 contract, including partial 
        abatement, as determined by the Secretary, until all 
        deficiencies have been corrected;
          (D) pursue transfer of the project to an owner, 
        approved by the Secretary under established procedures, 
        which will be obligated to promptly make all required 
        repairs and to accept renewal of the assistance 
        contract as long as such renewal is offered;
          (E) transfer the existing section 8 contract to 
        another project or projects and owner or owners;

        a judicial order of specific performance requiring the 
        owner to cure all project deficiencies;
          (H) work with the owner, lender, or other related 
        party to stabilize the property in an attempt to 
        preserve the property through compliance, transfer of 
        ownership, or an infusion of capital provided by a 
        third-party that requires time to effectuate; or
          (I) take any other regulatory or contractual remedies 
        available as deemed necessary and appropriate by the 
        Secretary.
  (d) The Secretary shall also take appropriate steps to ensure 
that project-based contracts remain in effect, subject to the 
exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation 
of tenants for major threats to health and safety after written 
notice to the affected tenants. To the extent the Secretary 
determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local 
government, that the property is not feasible for continued 
rental assistance payments under such section 8 or other 
programs, based on consideration of--
          (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating the 
        property and all available Federal, State, and local 
        resources, including rent adjustments under section 524 
        of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and 
        Affordability Act of 1997 (``MAHRAA''); and
          (2) environmental conditions that cannot be remedied 
        in a cost-effective fashion, the Secretary may contract

report shall include--
          (1) the enforcement actions being taken to address 
        such conditions, including imposition of civil money 
        penalties and termination of subsidies, and identify 
        properties that have such conditions multiple times;
          (2) actions that the Department of Housing and Urban 
        Development is taking to protect tenants of such 
        identified properties; and
          (3) any administrative or legislative recommendations 
        to further improve the living conditions at properties 
        covered under a housing assistance payment contract.

and Urban Development to insure, securitize, or establish a 
Federal guarantee of any mortgage or mortgage backed security 
that refinances or otherwise replaces a mortgage that has been 
subject to eminent domain condemnation or seizure, by a State, 
municipality, or any other political subdivision of a State.
  Sec. 226.  None of the funds made available by this Act may 
be used to terminate the status of a unit of general local
