                              Clerk's Note

    This committee print provides a compilation of the enacted 
text and applicable explanatory material for the Further 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (H.R. 1865, P.L. 116-94).
    This Act consists of eight divisions related to 
Appropriations matters (divisions A through H). The Act also 
includes eight additional divisions unrelated to appropriations 
matters (divisions I through P). 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 H are the products of negotiations 
between the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on final 
fiscal year 2020 appropriations for all 12 annual 
appropriations bills. For purposes of final passage, the 12 
appropriations bills were enacted using two vehicles: H.R. 1158 
and H.R. 1865.
    The legislative text resulting from these negotiations was 
submitted by Chairwoman Nita Lowey of the House Committee on 
Appropriations as a House amendment to the Senate amendment to 
an unrelated bill pending in the House, H.R. 1865. The House 
agreed to the measure on December 17, 2019, and the Senate 
agreed to the measure on December 19, 2019.\1\ The President 
signed the legislation on December 20, 2019 and it became 
Public Law 116-94.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ The House agreed to the amendment by a vote of 297-120 (Roll 
Call No. 689). The Senate agreed to the amendment by a vote of 71-23 
(Roll Call Vote No. 415).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    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. 1865. An Explanatory Statement relating to the House 
amendment to H.R. 1865 was filed by Chairwoman Lowey in the 
Congressional Record on December 17, 2019.\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 H of this Act as if it 
were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of 
conference.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\ The Explanatory Statement appears on pages H11061-H11484 in 
Book III of the December 17, 2019 Congressional Record.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    For the convenience of users, the legislative text of each 
appropriations division is paired with the applicable section 
of the Explanatory Statement.

                          DEPARTMENT OF LABOR


              Employment and Training Administration (ETA)


                    TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

    Grants to States.--The agreement is consistent with the 
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) authorization 
regarding the amount of WIOA State grant funding that may be 
reserved by Governors.
    Adult Employment and Training.--WIOA State grant funding 
continues to serve critical functions, including to assist 
States that continue to experience high unemployment.
    Youth Training.-- The Department is directed to evaluate 
incorporating resilience training and trauma-informed practices 
into WIOA youth job training programs and shall consult with 
organizations with nationally recognized expertise in such 
practices. The Department is directed to provide a report to 
the Committees within six months of enactment of this Act 
describing the findings of the evaluation and an assessment of 
how WIOA youth job training programs could adopt such practices 
and measure outcomes.

Dislocated Worker National Reserve

$10,000,000 to utilize the demonstration grant authority under 
the dislocated worker national reserve for grants to support 
national out-of-school time organizations that serve youth and 
teens and place an emphasis on age-appropriate workforce 
readiness programming to expand job training and workforce 
pathways for youth and disconnected youth, including soft skill 
development, career exploration, job readiness and 
certification, summer jobs, year-round job opportunities, and 
apprenticeships. Funding will also support partnerships between 
workforce investment boards and youth serving organizations.
    Strengthening Community College Training Grants.--The 
agreement provides $40,000,000 for the Strengthening Community 
College Training Grant program. The Department is directed to 
follow all requirements and directives in House Report 116-62 
related to this program, except that the Secretary shall make 
individual grants to community colleges of at least $1,000,000, 
unless grants are awarded in consortia to community colleges 
and other eligible institutions as defined in section 101(a) of 
the Higher Education Act and do not exceed $5,000,000 per 
grant.
    Workforce Opportunity for Rural Communities.--The agreement 
provides $30,000,000 to continue this program in the 
Appalachian and Delta regions. The Department is directed to 
ensure broad geographic distribution of funds within these 
regions and awards should not exceed $1,500,000 per award.
    Transition to WIOA.--The agreement requests additional 
information regarding use of the Secretary's 10 percent 
reservation of funds for technical assistance to transition to 
WIOA under the dislocated worker assistance national reserve in 
the fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification.

Apprenticeship Grant Program

    The agreement provides $175,000,000 to support registered 
apprenticeships and includes new bill language referencing 
WIOA, ensuring that funds are only used to support registered 
apprenticeships, and that makes funds available starting July 
1, 2020 to encourage better management and oversight.
    The agreement notes serious concerns regarding the 
Department's misuse of registered apprenticeship funds and the 
Department's communication of this misuse to the Committees, 
including testimony before the Committees.
    The agreement notes that funding under this program should 
be prioritized to support State, regional, and local 
apprenticeship efforts, as well as efforts by intermediaries to 
expand registered apprenticeships into new industries and for 
underserved or underrepresented populations.
    State expansion grants have been used to positive effect in 
States with high unemployment. The agreement directs the 
Secretary to prioritize funding for national, regional, and 
local intermediaries. The agreement directs the Secretary to 
continue funding for business and labor industry partner 
intermediaries and ensure that labor intermediaries are given 
opportunities to apply for competitive grants, cooperative 
agreements, contracts, and other funding opportunities.
    The Department is encouraged to support funding industry or 
sector partnerships as a means of expanding registered 
apprenticeships in in-demand industries. The Department should 
collaborate with the Department of Defense to develop 
registered apprenticeships that address the critical national 
defense need for new submarine construction. The Department is 
encouraged to support programs in the health care, maritime, 
construction, and oil and gas industries. The agreement notes 
concerns about shortages nationwide of drinking water and 
wastewater management professionals and encourages the 
Department to address the shortage of water system management 
professionals.
    The agreement directs the Department to provide quarterly 
briefings on all spending activities under this program to the 
Committees, and to comply with directives and statements in 
House Report 116-62.

                               JOB CORPS

    Job Corps.--In addition to the directives included in House 
Report 116-62, the Department is directed to provide 30 days 
notification to the Committees in advance of any action to 
close or deactivate a Job Corps Center (Center), as well as in 
advance of any action to establish a pilot program or 
demonstration project at a Center. The Department is further 
directed to minimize the amount of time a Center is inactive 
prior to commencement of a pilot program or demonstration 
project and to ensure training opportunities and slots do not 
decline as a result of such pilot or demonstration. Not later 
than 120 days after enactment of this Act, the Department shall 
provide the Committees a report on the performance of all pilot 
programs and demonstration projects, including a detailed 
description of the performance metrics used to evaluate the 
projects, and an analysis of the performance of pilots and 
projects relative to other Centers. The Department is expected 
to continue to comply with the directives under the heading Job 
Corps in Senate Report 115-289.
    Construction and Renovation.--The Department is encouraged 
to take into consideration critical municipal infrastructure 
deficiencies when identifying construction and renovation 
projects.

     STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICE OPERATIONS

Unemployment Insurance Compensation

    State Unemployment System Needs.--The agreement notes that 
State unemployment insurance (UI) systems are critical for 
ensuring claimants receive timely processing of benefits. The 
Department is encouraged to provide above-base State UI funds 
through supplemental funding opportunities to States to the 
extent that unobligated funds, not otherwise needed for 
workload, are available at the end of the fiscal year. Such 
funds should support improving operations and modernizing State 
UI systems to help ensure that workers and their families 
receive fast and high-quality assistance in their time of need.
    UI Integrity Center of Excellence.--The agreement provides 
$9,000,000 for the continued support of the UI Integrity Center 
of Excellence (UIICE), including $6,000,000 for the benefit of 
States to the entity operating the UIICE.

Employment Service

Workforce Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-218). The agreement urges the 
Department to provide careful oversight and transparency 
related to the timely processing of visa applications for 
temporary employment certifications. The agreement directs the

the Foreign Labor Application Gateway, in the fiscal year 2021 
Congressional Justification.

One-Stop Career Centers and Labor Market Information

2018.

            Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA)

    The agreement directs EBSA to prioritize audit resources to 
review the Thrift Savings Plan's (TSP) IT operating 
environment, including the adequacy of controls at contractor 
sites and TSP's progress in remediating previously identified 
issues from past EBSA audits.

                  Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation

    The agreement includes new bill language that extends the 
period of availability of funding for certain administrative 
expenses to five years to ensure the agency has sufficient time 
to manage a large, unanticipated influx of participants or 
costs.

                      Wage and Hour Division (WHD)

    WHD is encouraged to hire additional investigators and 
restore WHD's investigative capacity.
    In the fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification, WHD is

Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program, 
including administrative expenditures on PAID, amounts

authorizing and appropriations Committees that shall include 
the following: (1) the name and address of each employer 
holding a certificate under 29 U.S.C. 214(c); (2) the starting 
date and ending date of each certificate for each employer 
under 29 U.S.C. 214(c); (3) information about the certificate 
for each employer under 29 U.S.C. 214(c), including if the 
certificate is an initial certificate or renewal and if the 
certificate is issued or pending; and (4) the current number of 
workers paid a subminimum wage by the employer holding the 
certificate under 29 U.S.C. 214(c) at the time of data 
collection. WHD is further directed to brief the authorizing 
and appropriations Committees, within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act, on its administration, monitoring, and enforcement of

days of enactment of this Act to the Committees that shall 
include the data and economic analysis supporting the inclusion 
of the housing policy for industries requiring a mobile 
workforce in the 2015 interim final rule leading to its 
publication and the benefits and costs of such policy on U.S. 
and guest workers and employers.

            Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP)

    There is continued concern about overreliance on 
unobligated funds for support of the Special Benefits for 
Disabled Coal Miners Program. OWCP should not take action that 
could disrupt the ability of the program to ensure all 
beneficiaries receive promised benefits. The agency is directed 
to include in the fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification: 
(1) the number of beneficiaries each year since fiscal year 
2015 and (2) the total benefit payments and budgetary resources 
and expenditures within the program each year since fiscal year 
2015.

                           COMPENSATION FUND

    The Department shall ensure the Advisory Board on Toxic 
Substances and Worker Health has sufficient funding and 
staffing to meet its obligations.

          Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

    The agreement directs OSHA to publish Funding Opportunity 
Notices for fiscal year 2020 funds for the Susan Harwood 
Training Grant program no later than June 30, 2020. Further, 
the agreement directs OSHA to provide technical assistance, 
guidance, and support to fiscal year 2020 applicants in order 
to reduce the proportion that did not meet eligibility and 
program requirements included in Funding Opportunity Notices in 
fiscal year 2019.
    The agreement directs OSHA, in consultation with DoD, to

for the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). In the fiscal year 
2021 Congressional Justification, OSHA is directed to include 
annual expenditures on VPP for each year since fiscal year 2015 
as well as planned expenditures in fiscal year 2021.

              Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)

    The fiscal year 2020 President's budget request proposed to 
allow greater flexibility by combining the enforcement 
functions for coal and metal/non-metal into a single 
enforcement budget activity. This flexibility shall only be 
exercised to bolster MSHA's ability to enforce the Mine Safety 
and Health Act and provide greater protections to miners. 
MSHA's Office of Accountability shall audit and publicly report 
findings from reviews of crossover mine inspections and monitor 
corrective actions to ensure MSHA activities adhere to its 
policies and procedures and meet the requirements of such Act. 
In addition, the Inspector General shall conduct a 
comprehensive audit of this consolidation of enforcement 
programs. Finally, the agency is directed to include in future 
Congressional Justifications historical and budget year 
information on enforcement activities and outcomes, 
distinguishing between coal and metal/non-metal mines. To 
promote transparency into agency spending on its enforcement 
activities, MSHA will continue to separately present annual 
spending on coal and metal/non-metal mines as it has in past 
Congressional Justifications.
    The agreement removes authority, first provided in fiscal 
year 2017, that allowed State assistance grants to be used by 
operators for purchase and maintenance of continuous personal 
dust monitors. No State has elected to use such authority.
    MSHA shall fully implement the requirements of section 103 
of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act and make inspections 
of each underground mine in its entirety at least four times a 
year and each surface mine in its entirety at least two times a 
year. MSHA should use existing funds to equip all MSHA mine 
rescue teams with next generation mine rescue communications 
equipment. To prepare properly for an emergency, MSHA shall 
continue to devote sufficient resources toward a competitive 
grant activity for effective emergency response and recovery 
training in various types of mine conditions.

                    Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)

    The agreement includes an increase of $40,000,000 to 
rebuild capacity at BLS and to support a headquarters

    With the increase, BLS is directed to support the following 
critical investments:
     Provide an annual supplement to the Current 
Population Survey to allow for collection of data on contingent 
and alternative work arrangements every two years and data on 
other topics related to the labor force in alternate years, 
including an occasional veterans supplement;
     Restore the production and publication of 
employment, unemployment, and labor force data under the Local 
Area Unemployment Statistics program for New England Minor 
Civil Divisions with populations less than 1,000; and
     Initiate spending on the planning and development 
of a new National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) cohort. 
BLS shall brief the Committees on the annual costs and a five-
year plan for implementing the new NLSY cohort within 90 days 
of enactment of this Act.
    When implementing these investments, BLS shall not reduce 
or eliminate existing statistical work. Further, BLS shall not 
reduce the number of full-time equivalent positions beyond the 
apportioned fiscal year 2019 full-time equivalent ceiling.
    Within the increase, the agreement includes $27,000,000 to 
relocate BLS headquarters. BLS is strongly urged to consider 
the needs of its employees throughout this transition and to 
work with the General Services Administration to address any 
outstanding safety concerns and office space considerations for 
the development of sensitive economic indicators.

                        Departmental Management

    Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB).--The 
agreement includes an increase of $10,000,000, of which 
$7,500,000 is for grants to improve countries' capacity to 
enforce labor rights agreed to under U.S. trade agreements and 
trade preference programs. The remaining $2,500,000 is provided 
for additional monitoring and enforcement staff at the Office 
of Trade and Labor Affairs and additional labor attaches in 
critical U.S. Embassies to increase field-based and 
international monitoring and labor compliance facilitation.
    ILAB should continue to release its annual Findings on the 
Worst Forms of Child Labor report, including its assessment 
ratings on Generalized System of Preference country efforts to 
implement its commitments to eliminate the worst forms of child 
labor, no later than it has historically.
    Faithful execution of the Foundations for Evidence-based 
Policymaking Act will enhance the evidence-building capacity of 
Federal agencies, strengthen privacy protections, improve 
secure access to data, and provide more and higher quality 
evidence to policymakers. The agreement directs the Department 
to include in the fiscal year 2021 and future Congressional 
Justifications an update on the implementation of such Act for 
the current and budget years.
    The agreement expects the Department to prioritize the 
submission of timely, accurate, quality, and complete financial 
and award information under existing U.S. Treasury reporting 
obligations in accordance with established management guidance, 
reporting processes, and data standards established under the 
requirements of the Digital Accountability and Transparency 
Act.
    The Department should continue to notify the Committees of 
the planned uses of funds derived from the evaluation authority 
in section 107 of this Act.
    The Department should continue to provide a report not 
later than 30 days after the conclusion of each quarter 
detailing the number of full-time equivalent employees and 
attrition by principal office and appropriations account.

support services for transitioning service members, with a 
focus on improved outcomes. The agreement includes $1,500,000

                    NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI)

    Cancer Moonshot.--The agreement directs NIH to transfer 
$195,000,000 from the NIH Innovation Account to NCI to support 
the Cancer Moonshot Initiative.
    Childhood Cancer Data Initiative.--The agreement includes 
the full budget request for this fiscal year of $50,000,000 for 
the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative, which will facilitate a 
connected data infrastructure and integrate multiple data 
sources to make data work better for patients, clinicians, and 
researchers.
    Deadliest Cancers.--The agreement directs NCI to develop a 
scientific framework using the process outlined in the 
Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act of 2012 for stomach and 
esophageal cancers and urges NCI to continue to support 
research with an emphasis on developing screening and early 
detection tools and more effective treatments for all 
recalcitrant cancers. NCI is directed to provide an update on 
NCI-supported research to advance these goals in the fiscal 
year 2021 Congressional Justification. Also, NCI is directed to 
add esophageal and stomach cancers to future Research, 
Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) reports. Finally, 
the bill encourages NCI to place a high priority on researching 
these cancers, which include anaplastic astrocytoma, diffuse 
intrinsic pontine glioma, glioblastoma, Juvenile myelomonocytic 
leukemia, high-risk neuroblastoma, recurrent osteosarcoma, 
rhabdomyosarcoma, and diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors.
    Gynecologic Cancer Clinical Trials.--NCI is encouraged to 
work with stakeholders to address priorities for the 
gynecologic oncology clinical trials scientific agenda, 
including consideration of the availability of trials for these 
patients.
    NCI Paylines.--Grant applications to NCI have increased by 
approximately 50 percent since 2013, outpacing available 
funding, with requests for cancer research ten-fold greater 
than other Institutes. With such a high demand for NCI grants, 
only a fraction of this research is funded. To support more 
awards and improve success rates, the agreement provides 
$212,500,000 to prioritize competing grants and sustain 
commitments to continuing grants.
    Precision Medicine.--The agreement strongly supports 
precision medicine initiatives that are critical to delivering 
the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. At 
its core, precision medicine aims to understand and treat the 
underlying cause of disease in individual patients. Once the 
underlying cause of a patient's disease is identified, this 
information can then be used to gain new insights into the 
underlying basic biology and disease pathogenesis, which will 
ultimately foster the development of medicine targeted to those 
patient populations most likely to benefit. NIH needs to focus 
cancer precision medicine efforts towards comprehensive drug 
screening and precision clinical trials and this agreement has 
included sufficient funding to do so. Therefore, the bill 
directs NCI to fund an initiative to foster the clinical 
demonstration of novel methodologies for individualizing 
identification of cancer therapeutics. Programs should be at a 
NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center at institutions that 
have demonstrated institutional investment in precision 
medicine, have a strong existing track record in NIH-supported 
cancer funding, and have the expertise to conduct in-depth 
genomic analysis of cancer tumors and do comprehensive drug 
repurposing screens of all FDA-approved drugs on at least one 
tumor type. Additionally, regional multi-institutional 
consortiums that serve populations with significant health 
disparities and traditionally underserved populations are 
strongly encouraged.
    Psycho-Social Distress Complications.--NCI is encouraged to 
ensure that all of its designated cancer centers are managing 
and measuring patients for distress as an integral piece of 
their treatment and follow-up care.
    Rare Cancers.--The bill supports a trans-NIH collaboration, 
which includes NCATS, to accelerate therapies for rare cancers 
and to support broader sharing of genomic-related rare cancers 
data to accelerate research and drug development for these 
cancers.
    STAR Act.--The agreement includes no less than $25,000,000 
in funding for continued implementation of sections of the 
Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research 
(STAR) Act. Funding is in addition to the funds allocated in 
fiscal year 2019 to expand existing biorepositories for 
childhood cancer patients enrolled in NCI-sponsored clinical 
trials to collect and maintain relevant clinical, biological, 
and demographic information on children, adolescents, and young 
adults, with an emphasis on selected cancer subtypes (and their 
recurrences) for which current treatments are least effective. 
Funding provided this year will allow NCI to continue to 
conduct and support childhood cancer survivorship research as 
authorized in the STAR Act.

           NATIONAL HEART, LUNG, AND BLOOD INSTITUTE (NHLBI)

    Chronic Disease Precision Medicine.--The bill directs NHLBI 
to fund an initiative to address chronic diseases through 
translational science and the application of a precision 
medicine approach and has included sufficient funding to do so. 
Programs should focus on diseases and disorders relating to 
heart, lung, blood, and sleep, and access to populations with 
significant health disparities. Programs should have a proven 
track record of NIH funding in all of these areas, as well as 
have NIH-funded programs for health disparities research. 
Additionally, regional multi-institutional consortiums are 
strongly encouraged.
    Congenital Heart Disease.--NHLBI is encouraged to 
prioritize congenital heart disease (CHD) activities outlined 
in its strategic plan, including improving understanding of 
outcomes and co-morbidities, modifying treatment options across 
the lifespan, and accelerating advances by leveraging CHD 
registries and networks.
    Fibrotic Diseases.--The bill encourages NIH to vigorously 
support dedicated funding and research into fibrotic diseases 
affecting different organs, including the lungs, liver, 
kidneys, heart, skin, and bones. The agreement requests a 
report on the current NIH Fibrosis Interest Group and its 
progress no later than 90 days after the passage of this Act. 
The bill encourages the Interest Group to continue its efforts 
to bring together key stakeholders, at the NIH and elsewhere, 
to develop strategic paths forward to maximize efforts in 
fibrotic disease research. The bill also encourages NIH to 
enhance its patient-centered clinical research into pulmonary 
fibrosis to include traditional observational and 
interventional studies looking at reducing healthcare 
utilization such as hospitalizations, improving symptoms such 
as cough, and prolonging life, and directs NIH to include an 
update in its fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification on 
its work relating to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis following 
the November 2012 NHLBI workshop Strategic Planning for 
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The agreement also encourages 
NIH to create a funding mechanism to fund fibrosis research 
across all organs, building on the progress and leveraging data 
that has and may result from NHLBI funded projects.
    Hemophilia.--The agreement asks NHLBI to provide the 
Committees with the final report and national blueprint for 
future research from the May 2018 State of the Science Workshop 
on Factor VIII Inhibitors and to take steps to implement the 
research blueprint in collaboration with the hemophilia 
patient, provider, and research communities.
    Pediatric Cardiomyopathy.--The agreement commends NHLBI for 
its long-standing commitment to the Pediatric Cardiomyopathy 
Registry and strongly encourages NHLBI to continue to support 
cardiomyopathy research.
    Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.--NIH is directed 
to submit the report on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia 
Syndrome (POTS) that was requested in Senate Report 115-289, 
now overdue, no later than 30 days after enactment of this Act. 
NIH is strongly encouraged to include an estimate of annual NIH 
funding allocated to POTS research in its publicly available 
RCDC report.

     NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DENTAL AND CRANIOFACIAL RESEARCH (NIDCR)

    Temporomandibular Disorders.--NIDCR is encouraged to 
continue collaboration with governmental agencies and other 
stakeholders in the project entitled Temporomandibular 
Disorders: From Research Discoveries to Clinical Treatment and 
to increase funding to expand the science base in this field.

   NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DIABETES AND DIGESTIVE AND KIDNEY DISEASES 
                                (NIDDK)

    Chronic Diseases and Health Disparities.--Kidney disease, 
type 2 diabetes, and obesity are among the most common, costly, 
and preventable of all health conditions. NIH needs to focus 
chronic disease efforts on those populations most affected, 
particularly vulnerable populations and underrepresented 
minorities. Therefore, the agreement provides sufficient 
funding for an initiative to address chronic diseases and 
health disparities in these areas. The program must focus on 
kidney disease, obesity, diabetes, exercise medicine, and 
health disparities. Programs should have a strong existing 
track record of NIH funding in all of these areas, such as an 
NIH-funded Nutrition Obesity Research Center, Diabetes Research 
Center, Obesity Health Disparities Research Center, and O'Brien 
Kidney Center. Additionally, regional multi-institutional 
consortiums are strongly encouraged.
    Diabetes.--NIDDK is urged to support research to improve 
the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and reduce amputations. 
Further, the agreement urges NIDDK to work with NIA to explore 
the relationship between diabetes and neurocognitive 
conditions, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Finally, 
the agreement supports efforts to utilize adult-derived, non-
embryonic pluripotent stem cells for developing and 
commercializing the use of the stem cell-derived islets for 
both drug discovery and testing platforms and therapeutic 
delivery to patients with diabetes.
    Liver Diseases.--NIDDK is encouraged to continue to feature 
liver diseases research considering recent progress and 
improvements for liver disease patients.
    Medical Foods.--The agreement encourages further 
incorporation of research topics associated with medical foods 
and patient care into emerging research activities.

    NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS AND STROKE (NINDS)

    Cerebral Palsy.--The agreement strongly encourages NIH to 
prioritize and implement additional FOAs to significantly 
strengthen, accelerate, and coordinate Cerebral Palsy (CP) 
research to address priorities across the lifespan identified 
in the five to 10 year Cerebral Palsy Strategic Plan developed 
by NINDS and NICHD. FOAs should target basic and translational 
discoveries, including genetics, regenerative medicine, and 
mechanisms of neuroplasticity, as well as clinical studies 
aimed at early intervention, comparative effectiveness, and 
functional outcomes in adults. NIH is also encouraged to 
coordinate with other agencies, including CDC, to support 
additional research on preventing, diagnosing, and treating CP.
    Dystonia.--The agreement urges NINDS to follow the 
recommendations of the dystonia conference, including 
identifying new research and therapeutic needs that will lead 
to a better understanding of dystonia etiology and evaluation 
of the status of translational research that may lead to more 
treatment options for those affected by dystonia.
    Opioid Misuse and Addiction.--The agreement includes no 
less than $250,000,000 for targeted research related to opioid 
misuse and addiction, development of opioid alternatives, pain 
management, and addiction treatment. The agreement directs NIH 
to expand scientific activities related to research on 
medications used to treat and reduce chronic pain, and the 
transition from acute to chronic pain.
    POTS.--NIH is directed to submit the report on POTS 
requested in Senate Report 115-289, now overdue, no later than 
30 days after enactment of this Act. NIH is strongly encouraged 
to include an estimate of annual NIH funding allocated to POTS 
research in its publicly available RCDC report.

     NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES (NIAID)

    AIDS Conference.--The agreement includes $5,100,000 for the 
U.S. contribution to the AIDS2020 Conference.
    Antimicrobial Resistance.--The agreement includes 
$511,000,000 within NIAID for research related to combating 
antimicrobial resistance (AMR), an increase of $50,000,000. In 
April, the United Nations issued a report that, like the 2016 
review sponsored by the government of the United Kingdom and 
Wellcome Trust, warned that rampant overuse of antibiotics and 
antifungal medicines in humans, livestock, and agriculture 
could erase much of the improvement in public health achieved 
since the development of the first antimicrobials in the 1940s. 
The agreement includes $1,700,000 to fund a National Academies 
of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) study to examine 
and quantify the long-term medical and economic impacts of 
increasing AMR in the U.S. The review should examine progress 
made on the U.S. National Strategy and Action Plan for 
Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, including domestic and 
international strategies employed by NIH, CDC, FDA, ASPR, USDA, 
and USAID. The NASEM report should make recommendations to 
address any gaps in research and development of therapeutics 
and diagnostics; efforts to move new products to market; animal 
and human surveillance, prevention efforts, international 
coordination and collaboration; and any other recommendations 
NASEM finds relevant to stopping the spread of AMR. The 
agreement directs NIAID to report on trends in AMR-related 
Research Project Grants, including the success rates for such 
grants, and requests an update on these activities in the 
fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification, including an 
overall assessment of the progress to date of efforts to 
address AMR.
    Celiac Disease.--The agreement encourages NIH to devote 
sufficient, focused research to the study of celiac disease, 
including the autoimmune causation underpinning the affliction. 
The agreement urges NIAID to better coordinate existing 
research and focus new research efforts toward causation and, 
ultimately, a cure of this disease. NIAID is encouraged to 
coordinate with other Institutes and Centers as appropriate and 
to submit its plan for coordination and execution of this 
research to the Committees no later than 90 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    Hepatitis B Virus.--The agreement urges additional targeted 
calls for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) research to fund the many 
critical research opportunities identified by the scientific 
community in the Roadmap for a Cure. The agreement urges active 
participation and leadership by NIAID in the Director's newly 
established Trans-NIH Hepatitis B working group and requests 
that NIAID submit within 180 days of enactment of this Act, a 
research plan to pursue a cure for HBV in coordination with the 
other Institutes and Centers.
    HIV/AIDS.--The agreement provides an increase of no less 
than $25,000,000 over the fiscal year 2019 level for HIV/AIDS 
research.
    Centers for AIDS Research.--As part of the domestic HIV 
initiative, the agreement includes no less than $51,000,000 for 
the Centers for AIDS Research.
    Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Diseases.--The agreement 
encourages NIH to issue requests for grant applications for 
research to investigate causes of all forms and manifestations 
of Lyme disease and other high-consequence tick-borne diseases, 
including post-treatment symptoms, as well as research to 
develop diagnostics, preventions, and treatments for those 
conditions, including potential vaccine candidates. The 
agreement urges NIAID, in coordination with CDC, to study the 
long-term effects on patients suffering from post-treatment 
Lyme disease syndrome, or ``chronic Lyme disease''. 
Specifically, the agreement urges NIAID to evaluate the 
effectiveness of laboratory tests associated with the detection 
of Borrelia burgdorferi to diagnose the disease early, which 
can improve the treatment of patients suffering from Lyme 
disease. The agreement is also aware of promising vaccine 
innovations to combat Borrelia and requests a report within 90 
days of enactment of this Act on agency activities to support 
Lyme vaccine development. The agreement also encourages NLM, in 
coordination with NIAID, to update its terminology in line with 
new research to more accurately reflect the long-term effects 
of Lyme disease.
    Medical Countermeasures.--The agreement supports the 
continuation of NIAID's medical countermeasures program, but 
expects the Institute to make sure any future contractor 
selected for the program can refine its animal models, 
particularly small animal models, to support the establishment 
of adequate countermeasure efficacy to expedite approval by the 
FDA. This requires close coordination with NIAID and the 
adequate level of technical personnel to carry out the 
program's important mission.
    Universal Flu Vaccine.--The agreement provides not less 
than $200,000,000 to advance basic, translational, and clinical 
research to develop a universal influenza vaccine, an increase 
of $60,000,000.
    Valley Fever.--The agreement notes the recent increase in 
the number of Valley Fever infections in Western States and 
urges NIAID to prioritize research on this fungal disease.

         NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF GENERAL MEDICAL SCIENCES (NIGMS)

    Institutional Development Award.--The agreement provides 
$386,573,000 for the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) 
program, an increase of $25,000,000.
    Maximizing Access to Research Careers.--The agreement 
recognizes the importance of the Maximizing Access to Research 
Careers (MARC) program and encourages the continuation and 
enhancement of efforts underway with our Nation's HBCUs. The 
agreement also encourages NIH to continue and strengthen its 
engagement of institutions located in rural parts of the U.S.

  EUNICE KENNEDY SHRIVER NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CHILD HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                          DEVELOPMENT (NICHD)

    Impact of Technology and Digital Media on Children and 
Teens.--The agreement recognizes that children's and teens' 
lives increasingly involve widespread technology use and 
consumption of digital media. The agreement encourages NIH to 
prioritize research into how these types of stimuli affect 
young people's cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional 
outcomes, including attention, sleeping routines, and anxiety.
    Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network.--The agreement fully 
supports the work of the Maternal Fetal Medicine Units network 
(MFMU) and encourages NICHD to continue to build on its success 
by ensuring its highly efficient structure of multicenter 
collaborative research continues. There is particular concern 
that any change in the funding mechanism or structure for the 
MFMU could compromise the ability of the network to remain 
nimble and directly address the changing landscape of women's 
health, including to reduce health disparities. The agreement 
directs NICHD to submit a report to the Committees outlining 
any potential changes being considered to the funding mechanism 
or structure of the MFMU network within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act.
    Prenatal Opioid Use Disorders and Neonatal Abstinence 
Syndrome.--The agreement encourages NIH to coordinate with 
other agencies at HHS to support additional research on 
prevention, identification, and treatment of prenatal opioid 
exposure and neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), including the 
best methods for screening and treating pregnant women for 
opioid use disorder and the best methods for screening for NAS. 
Additionally, the agreement encourages NIH to build on the 
Advancing Clinical Trials in Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal study 
to enhance understanding of the impact of pharmacological and 
non-pharmacological treatment techniques on costs and outcomes 
in the short- term and longitudinally. The agreement further 
encourages NIH to coordinate with other agencies at HHS to 
support research on innovative care models to optimize care and 
long-term outcomes for families.
    Research in Pregnant and Lactating Women.--The Task Force 
on Research Specific to Pregnant Women and Lactating Women 
issued a report to the Secretary of HHS outlining 15 
recommendations to facilitate the inclusion of pregnant and 
lactating women in clinical research. The agreement commends 
the Secretary for extending the Task Force and believes this 
extension should be for at least an additional two years to 
continue to work towards healthcare professionals and consumers 
having accurate information on the safety and efficacy of drugs 
taken by these populations. NICHD should oversee its part of 
the implementation of the already released recommendations 
working with other relevant Institutes and Centers, CDC, and 
FDA. The agreement requests a progress report be provided in 
the fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification.

                      NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTE (NEI)

    Age-Related Macular Degeneration.--The agreement recognizes 
the tremendous strides in the treatment of patients with the 
``dry'' form of age-related macular degeneration and commends 
NEI for its planned first-in-human clinical trial that would 
test a stem cell-based therapy from induced pluripotent stem 
cells. The agreement supports NEI's prospective international 
study of patients that uses the latest advances in retinal 
imaging to identify biomarkers of the disease and targets for 
early therapeutic interventions.

      NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES (NIEHS)

    Hurricane Harvey Research.--The agreement includes 
$3,000,000 for the continued funding and expansion of research 
on the health effects of environmental exposures directly 
related to the consequences of Hurricane Harvey in 2017. The 
research should focus on the full Hurricane Harvey-affected 
region, conduct follow-up health research on affected 
populations on registrants, link to relevant government and 
non-profit intervention research programs, and provide critical 
information on disaster preparedness through data sharing and 
analysis.

                   NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING (NIA)

    Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias.--The agreement 
provides an increase of $350,000,000 for Alzheimer's disease 
and related dementias research, bringing the total funding 
level in fiscal year 2020 to no less than $2,818,000,000.
    Diversity of Clinical Trials.--The agreement remains 
concerned about underrepresented populations in research, 
particularly clinical trials for Alzheimer's. The agreement 
directs NIH to report to the Committees within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act on how it is implementing the actions 
outlined in the National Strategy for Recruitment and 
Participation in Alzheimer's and Related Dementias Clinical 
Research, including NIA resources that have been dedicated to 
these efforts.
    EUREKA Prize.--The agreement requests a report within 180 
days of enactment of this Act on NIA's initial EUREKA prize 
competition, including the number of submissions received and 
any unexpected challenges or impediments encountered in 
executing the challenge, as well as lessons learned that could 
be applied to future Alzheimer's or other prize challenges. The 
agreement also requests that the report include any 
recommendations to enhance the model going forward.

       NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON ALCOHOL ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM (NIAAA)

    Mobile Assessment Technology Research for Addictive 
Behaviors.--The agreement encourages NIAAA to support 
meritorious research to improve the prevention and treatment of 
substance misuse, addiction, and related consequences through 
the use of mobile technologies.

                NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE (NIDA)

    Barriers to Research.--The agreement directs NIDA to 
provide a brief report on the barriers to research that result 
from the classification of drugs and compounds as Schedule I 
substances no later than 120 days after enactment of this Act.
    Cannabis Research.--The agreement encourages NIH to 
consider additional investment in studying the medicinal 
effects and toxicology of cannabidiol and cannabigerol.
    Methamphetamine Medication-Assisted Treatments.--The 
agreement urges NIDA to continue its ongoing trials to 
expeditiously find and approve a medication-assisted treatment 
for methamphetamine.
    Opioid Misuse and Addiction.--The agreement includes no 
less than $250,000,000 for targeted research related to opioid 
misuse and addiction, development of opioid alternatives, pain 
management, and addiction treatment. The agreement directs NIH 
to expand scientific activities related to research on 
medications used to treat and reduce chronic pain, and the 
transition from acute to chronic pain. Further, the agreement 
urges NIH to: (1) continue funding research on medication 
development to alleviate pain and to treat addiction, 
especially the development of medications with reduced misuse 
liability; (2) as appropriate, work with private companies to 
fund innovative research into such medications; (3) report on 
what is known regarding the transition from opioid analgesics 
to heroin and synthetic opioid use and addiction within 
affected populations; (4) conduct pilot studies to create a 
comprehensive care model in communities nationwide to prevent 
opioid misuse, expand treatment capacity, enhance access to 
overdose reversal medications, and enhance prescriber practice; 
(5) test interventions in justice system settings to expand the 
uptake of medications for treating opioid use disorder (OUD) 
and methods to scale up these interventions for population-
based impact; and (6) develop evidence-based strategies to 
integrate screening and treatment for OUD in emergency 
department and primary care settings. In addition, NIH should 
continue to sponsor research to better understand the effects 
of long-term prescription opioid use, especially as it relates 
to the prevention and treatment of opioid misuse and addiction. 
Further, the agreement notes NIDA has started to investigate 
the links among respiratory health, disease, and deaths from 
opioids to determine if addressing underlying respiratory 
physiology can prevent death due to respiratory failure during 
overdoses.

               NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH (NIMH)

    Suicide Prevention and Risk Detection Algorithms.--The 
agreement continues to encourage NIMH to prioritize its suicide 
screening and prevention research efforts to produce risk 
detection models that are interpretable, scalable, and 
practical for clinical implementation, including mental and 
behavioral healthcare interventions, to combat suicide in the 
U.S. In assessing research opportunities, the agreement 
encourages NIMH to consider the recommendations included in the 
Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention's A Prioritized Research 
Agenda for Suicide Prevention.

            NATIONAL HUMAN GENOME RESEARCH INSTITUTE (NHGRI)

    Computational Genomics and RNA Molecules.--The agreement 
urges NHGRI to continue to support research on RNA molecules 
and the mechanisms through which they affect biological 
processes that cause disease.
    Emerging Centers of Excellence in Genomic Sciences.--The 
agreement includes no less than $10,000,000 for a new 
competitively-awarded center-based grant program for Emerging 
Centers of Excellence. The purpose of these awards is to build 
capacity at institutions that are not prior or current grantees 
of the Centers of Excellence in Genomic Sciences program. The 
agreement urges NHGRI to include plans for sustainment of this 
capacity-building mechanism in its 2020 vision report.

    NATIONAL CENTER FOR COMPLEMENTARY AND INTEGRATIVE HEALTH (NCCIH)

    Pain Management.--The agreement urges NIH, along with DoD 
and VA, to continue to support research on non-pharmacological 
treatments for pain management to ensure the best quality of 
care for our Nation's veterans.

  NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON MINORITY HEALTH AND HEALTH DISPARITIES (NIMHD)

    Mental Health.--To address the multiple causes of suicide, 
the agreement urges NIMHD to develop a behavioral health 
approach focusing on at-risk populations and building the 
mental health workforce at the community level. The proposed 
model should improve mental health care access to underserved 
populations, including those in rural areas, while 
simultaneously providing training to potential rural behavioral 
health providers.
    Neuroscience Research in African-Americans.--The agreement 
urges the NIH Neurobiobank to work with NIMHD and relevant 
extramural partners to develop the infrastructure needed to 
accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutic targets for 
neuropsychiatric disorders utilizing post-mortem brain datasets 
from underrepresented ethnic minority groups, including 
African-Americans.
    Research Centers in Minority Institutions.--The agreement 
includes $75,000,000 for the Research Centers in Minority 
Institutions (RCMI) program to support critical infrastructure 
development and scientific discovery in historically minority 
graduate and health professional schools. The agreement also 
recognizes the importance of the RCMI Coordinating Center in 
ensuring that collectively, institutions can engage in multi-
site collaborative research.
    Research Endowment Program.--The agreement urges NIMHD to 
move forward with the recommendations made by the Advisory 
Council workgroup to restore endowment eligibility for the 
Research Endowment Program (REP) to the original Congressional 
intent, which includes both current and former centers of 
excellence. NIMHD is requested to report to the Committees on 
progress made to implement these recommendations prior to 
issuing its next FOA for REP.

 JOHN E. FOGARTY INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR ADVANCED STUDY IN THE HEALTH 
                             SCIENCES (FIC)

    Global Infectious Diseases.--The agreement urges FIC to 
continue its important work of building relationships with 
scientists abroad to foster a stronger, more effective science 
workforce and health research capacity on the ground, helping 
to detect infectious diseases and building the capacity to 
confront those diseases while improving the image of the U.S. 
though health diplomacy in their countries.

      NATIONAL CENTER FOR ADVANCING TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCES (NCATS)

    Clinical and Translational Science Awards.--The agreement 
provides $578,141,000 for Clinical and Translational Science 
Awards (CTSAs) and encourages NCATS to fund, through the 
existing CTSA hubs, programs to address disparities and the 
significant burden of diseases and other conditions that 
disproportionately affect minority and special populations. 
Accelerating this capacity will reduce the burden of disease 
and promote health equity. Applying the CTSA model to address 
long-standing regional health disparities can provide 
innovative, multi-disciplinary approaches to reducing the 
burden of disease among vulnerable populations.
    Cures Acceleration Network.--The agreement provides up to 
$60,000,000 for the Cures Acceleration Network.

                      OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR (OD)

    7q11.23 Duplication Syndrome.--Duplication 7 syndrome is a 
rare chromosomal abnormality and those affected by this 
chromosomal duplication are likely to experience severe 
behavioral and developmental disabilities requiring consistent 
medical treatments and therapies. NIH is strongly encouraged to 
expand research on rare genetic and chromosomal abnormalities 
such as 7q11.23 duplication syndrome.
    Adult Cellular Therapies.--The agreement encourages NIH, in 
coordination with FDA, to explore the feasibility and utility 
of an outcomes database for adult cellular therapies that are 
either FDA-approved or are being administered under FDA 
Investigational New Drug or Investigational Device Exemption 
protocols.
    All of Us Precision Medicine Initiative.--The agreement 
includes $500,000,000 for the All of Us precision medicine 
initiative. Funding provided in the 21st Century Cures Act is 
reduced by $37,000,000 in fiscal year 2020. Ensuring sustained, 
consistent funding for this study is important. Therefore, the 
agreement has chosen to replace this reduction and increase 
base funding for the program. The agreement directs NIH to 
continue its efforts to recruit and retain participants from 
historically underrepresented populations in biomedical 
research so that the All of Us scientific resources reflect the 
rich diversity of our country.
    Further, the agreement encourages NIH to continue to work 
with a broad array of children's hospitals and networks to 
leverage their expertise and ensure greater diversity in 
pediatric recruitment and enrollment.
    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.--The agreement directs the 
NIH Director to facilitate further efforts involving, at a 
minimum, NINDS and NIA, to study Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 
(ALS) disease mechanisms and identify genes to facilitate the 
expeditious development of targeted therapies. These trans-NIH 
efforts shall bring together research results that will be 
available to academic researchers, non-profit organizations, 
and industry researchers, and will supplement, not supplant, 
existing NIH-supported activities for ALS research. The near-
term research opportunity to find a cure is real for ALS. Any 
such breakthroughs will have significant benefits for related 
neurological conditions including TBI, Parkinson's, and 
Alzheimer's. The agreement directs NIH to report to the 
Committees within 180 days of enactment of this Act on progress 
in furthering these research areas, specifically on key areas 
of focus for fiscal years 2020-2024.
    Autism.--The agreement encourages NIH to continue to 
aggressively invest in research on autism consistent with the 
objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan. The agreement also 
encourages NIH to support greater investment in research and 
collaborations focused on addressing the gaps outlined in the 
Strategic Plan, including studies to understand the 
intersection of biology, behavior, and the environment.
    Autoimmune Conditions.--Autoimmune diseases are more common 
in women than in men, typically manifesting in their 
childbearing years. They include conditions such as rheumatoid 
arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, celiac disease, 
inflammatory bowel disease, and type 1 diabetes and together 
affect an estimated five to seven percent of Americans. Many 
affected women live with a second autoimmune illness or other 
condition. Despite the impact of these diseases and conditions 
on a domestic population ranging between 15,000,000-25,000,000, 
there is no single office within NIH tasked with coordinating 
research across the agency, or examining the complex interplay 
among these diseases and conditions. The 2010 NASEM study on 
Women's Health Research identified autoimmune conditions as the 
``leading cause of morbidity in women, greatly affecting 
quality of life.'' Despite their impact, the report found that 
``little progress has been made in understanding the conditions 
better, in identifying the risk factors, or in developing 
diagnostic tools, better treatments, or cures.'' The agreement 
includes $1,500,000 for NIH to contract with NASEM to identify 
and review NIH's research efforts in this broad area of 
predominantly women's health. The review should explore NIH's 
research in autoimmune and coexisting disorders, including any 
barriers to such research, and the most promising areas for 
future research that would benefit the greatest number of 
patients. The review should also identify trends among the 
population suffering from these conditions, and any significant 
barriers to accurate diagnoses. Finally, the NASEM report 
should make recommendations for how NIH could improve and 
better coordinate research into these diseases and conditions, 
including the potential effects of establishing dedicated 
research entities within or external to NIH.
    Big Data.--Despite launching its STRIDES and Data Commons 
initiatives, NIH has little yet to show in the area of working 
with data. NIH has struggled to recruit the talent to lead 
efforts to build an analysis platform. NIH leadership 
recognizes it needs additional focus on how to consolidate and 
deliver data to the research community in a more usable and 
computationally minable form, but is challenged in how to do 
so. Part of the problem appears to be the salary restrictions 
of a civil service structure that never contemplated the costs 
of recruiting highly sought after elite technology talent. The 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) is directed to identify 
and assess the options available to NIH for securing the talent 
it needs to lead these efforts. GAO should consider how other 
agencies meet similar challenges, and whether statutory changes 
are necessary. The agreement also directs GAO to review how NIH 
funds computational talent in its grant awards and whether its 
funding models adequately reflect the cost of these skillsets 
to grantees. GAO should assess NIH's guidance for the resource-
sharing plan it requires for the typical grantee, and whether 
these plans are sufficient and can be sustained for ongoing 
analysis. NIH is urged to engage industry, academic, and other 
Federal partners to take advantage of cross-enterprise 
artificial intelligence products, research, and tools. 
Artificial Intelligence could play a vital role toward 
advancing the goals of the strategic plan by organizing, 
managing, and making data usable to researchers, institutions, 
and the public to drive outcomes. Finally, the agreement 
includes $30,000,000 to support the Chief Data Strategist's 
work in fiscal year 2020, and expects NIH to provide a spending 
plan for these funds within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
    Biomedical Research Facilities.--The bill provides 
$50,000,000 for grants to public and/or not-for-profit entities 
to expand, remodel, renovate, or alter existing research 
facilities or construct new research facilities as authorized 
under 42 U.S.C. section 283k. The agreement also directs NIH to 
allocate no less than 25 percent of funding for this program to 
Institutions of Emerging Excellence to ensure geographic and 
institutional diversity. Finally, the agreement urges NIH to 
consider recommendations made by the NIH Working Group on 
Construction of Research Facilities, including making awards 
that are large enough to underwrite the cost of a significant 
portion of newly constructed or renovated facilities.
    Brain Research through Advancing Innovative 
Neurotechnologies Initiative.--The agreement provides 
$500,000,000 for the BRAIN initiative, finally achieving the 
initial BRAIN 2025 report recommendation of $500,000,000 per 
year by fiscal year 2019. The agreement provides additional 
resources to significantly expand efforts to working with the 
BRAIN data. Neuroscience, and biosciences in general, need 
additional focus on how to consolidate and deliver data to the 
research community in a more usable and computationally minable 
form. The agreement expects to receive a report in the fiscal 
year 2021 Congressional Justification on the initiative's 
achievements in its first five years of operation and its 
objectives for the next five years, including NIH's plans to 
address the challenge of making large datasets usable.
    Clinical Research Professional Competency.--The agreement 
encourages NIH to continue considering the training needs of 
the clinical research workforce when determining best practices 
in conducting clinical trials.
    Clinical Trials Policy.--The agreement supports NIH's 
recent announcement to delay the implementation of certain 
registering and reporting requirements for basic experimental 
studies with humans. The agreement urges NIH to continue its 
efforts, including working with the basic research community, 
to achieve a balanced registration and reporting strategy that 
meets the interests of study participants, investigators, and 
taxpayers. NIH is directed to report to the Committees no less 
than 60 days prior to moving forward with any new proposals for 
registering basic experimental studies with humans as clinical 
trials.
    Ethnic and Racial Diversity in Cancer Development and 
Outcomes.--The agreement urges NIH, including NIMHD and NCI, to 
continue to support research on the cause, prevention, and 
treatment of cancer in populations with diverse cultural, 
racial, and ethnic composition. The agreement also encourages 
NCI to continue to consider an institution's research efforts 
that specifically address the cancer burden, risk factors, 
incidence, morbidity, mortality, and inequities in the 
geographic area it serves, when considering applications from 
cancer centers for NCI designation.
    Firearm Injury and Mortality Prevention Research.--The 
agreement includes $12,500,000 to conduct research on firearm 
injury and mortality prevention. Given violence and suicide 
have a number of causes, the agreement recommends the NIH take 
a comprehensive approach to studying these underlying causes 
and evidence-based methods of prevention of injury, including 
crime prevention. All grantees under this section will be 
required to fulfill requirements around open data, open code, 
pre-registration of research projects, and open access to 
research articles consistent with the National Science 
Foundation's open science principles. The Director of NIH is to 
report to the Committees within 30 days of enactment on 
implementation schedules and procedures for grant awards, which 
strive to ensure that such awards support ideologically and 
politically unbiased research projects.
    Foreign Threats to Research.--There remains concern about 
foreign threats to the research infrastructure in the U.S. In 
particular, the Chinese government has started a program to 
recruit NIH-funded researchers to steal intellectual property, 
cheat the peer-review system, establish shadow laboratories in 
China, and help the Chinese government obtain confidential 
information about NIH research grants. As the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, HHS, and NIH continue to investigate the impact 
the Thousand Talents and other foreign government programs have 
had on the NIH research community, the agreement directs NIH to 
notify the Committees quarterly on the progress of the 
investigation, as well as institutions, scientists, and 
research affected. Further, the agreement directs NIH to 
carefully consider the NIH Advisory Committee's 
recommendations, including to implement a broad education 
campaign about the requirement to disclose foreign sources of 
funding and develop enhanced cybersecurity protocols. As 
recommended, NIH should use this campaign to help institutions 
develop best practices for how to handle these challenges, 
including training, communications materials, and how to 
improve vetting, education, and security. Further, NIH shall 
evaluate the peer-review system and their internal controls 
through a lens that takes into account national security 
threats. This includes holding those accountable who 
inappropriately share information from the peer-review process 
or illegally share intellectual property. The agreement notes 
the partnership between NIH and HHS' Office of National 
Security (ONS) on this issue and ONS's implementation of a 
formal NIH CI/Insider Threat program on NIH's behalf. The 
agreement believes this work should be expanded in fiscal year 
2020 and directs NIH to allocate no less than $5,000,000 for 
this work that ONS does on behalf of NIH.
    Frontotemporal Degeneration Research.--The agreement 
encourages NIH to continue to support a multi-site network of 
clinical centers to study genetic and sporadic cases of 
frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and maintain progress toward 
biomarker discovery and drug development in clinical trials 
using these well-defined FTD cohorts. A key component of this 
network will be the development of a data biosphere that 
supports wide sharing of robust datasets, generated with 
powerful -omic platforms. Data sharing will enable the broader 
community of researchers outside of the clinical networks, 
particularly early career scientists, to take on the challenges 
currently confronting Alzheimer's disease and related dementias 
disorders with a wider array of expertise. Research has 
revealed that all forms of dementia may have a variety of root 
causes and display multiple underlying pathologies. Research on 
the related dementias is critical for understanding basic 
disease mechanisms that may be common across multiple forms of 
dementia and therefore speed the translation of this 
information into much-needed therapeutics. While the continued 
support of biomedical research offers hope for the future, too 
many families and individuals living with dementia cannot find 
the help they need today. Therefore, the agreement also urges 
NIH to support research on the development of new and improved 
dementia care practices and long-term supports and services. By 
supporting both types of research, NIH may advance progress 
toward future therapies and treatments while also helping 
people get the appropriate and effective care and support they 
need today.
    Harassment Policies.--The NASEM report released last year 
found that sexual harassment is rampant in the labs and 
institutions supported by NIH. The Committees believe NIH must 
play a more active role in changing the culture that has long 
perpetuated the problem. The Committees direct NIH to require 
institutions to notify the agency when key personnel named on 
an NIH grant award are removed because of sexual harassment 
concerns and to submit to the Committees plans to implement 
measures that attend to harassment in extramural settings with 
the same level of attention and resources as those devoted to 
other research misconduct. The Committees also direct NIH to 
support research in the areas identified in the report, 
including the psychology underlying harassment and the 
experiences and outcomes of diverse groups when subjected to 
harassment. Additionally, the Committees direct NIH to 
collaborate with NASEM to develop best practices for developing 
more diverse and inclusive cultures in the grantee research 
environments, including training individuals in institutions 
that receive NIH funds to recognize and address sexual 
harassment, and evaluating the efficacy of various sexual 
harassment training programs.
    Hepatitis C.--The agreement urges NIH to prioritize 
research aimed at supporting hepatitis C elimination.
    Human Microbiome Project.--The agreement encourages OD to 
continue working collaboratively with NIDDK and other relevant 
Institutes and Centers to expand and advance Human Microbiome 
Project research.
    IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network.--The 
agreement commends NIH for establishing the IDeA States 
Pediatric Clinical Trials Network (ISPCTN) to provide 
medically-underserved and rural populations with access to 
state-of-the-art clinical trials, apply findings from relevant 
pediatric cohort studies to children in IDeA State locations, 
and enhance pediatric research capacity to address unmet 
pediatric research needs in underserved areas. The agreement 
provides $15,000,000 in additional funding for the 
Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes Program to 
continue the ISPCTN program.
    Increasing Diversity in NIH Clinical Trials.--The agreement 
recognizes efforts by NIH to reduce health disparities by 
addressing significant barriers to clinical trial participation 
and directs the agency to ensure eligibility criteria for 
clinical trials funded by NIH do not create unintentional 
barriers to participation for racial and ethnic minorities as 
well as for patients with certain health conditions. The 
agreement directs NIH to revise existing protocol templates and 
guidelines for clinical trials that receive funding by the 
agency to include eligibility criteria that avoids 
inappropriate exclusions of racial and ethnic minorities by 
taking steps to account for variations in health status across 
racial and ethnic minority groups when determining eligibility 
criteria as well as ensuring exclusions based on health status 
are scientifically justified and appropriate.
    Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.--The agreement directs NIH 
to provide funding to support translational research, as well 
as promote regional, collaborative consortiums to advance 
scientific knowledge in the area of induced pluripotent stem 
cells basic research. The agreement further instructs NIH to 
conduct an assessment of agency efforts to: (1) address the 
existing funding gap between basic science and clinical trial 
research; and (2) develop a framework that provides both new 
and existing grantees with funded opportunities for 
translational research. The agreement expects this information 
to be included in the fiscal year 2021 Congressional 
Justification.
    Intellectual Property.--The agreement encourages the 
Director to work with the HHS Assistant Deputy Secretary for 
National Security to improve the security of intellectual 
property derived from NIH-funded research. In particular, NIH 
is encouraged to: improve the security of the peer review 
system; augment the application process to identify funding 
that applicants receive from a foreign government; and assist 
the HHS Inspector General and appropriate law enforcement 
agencies to identify violations of U.S. law or policy.
    Intramural Nonhuman Primate Research.--The agreement 
recognizes the use of nonhuman primate research for the 
advancement of biomedical research. It also understands that 
NIH continues to seek scientific alternatives to reduce and 
replace nonhuman primate use in biomedical research. NIH 
reviews every project that uses nonhuman primates in research 
to ensure both the welfare of the animal and that there are no 
scientific alternatives that could replace an animal model. The 
agreement requests a report to the Committees no later than one 
year after enactment of this Act that includes a discussion of 
nonhuman primate use and efforts to reduce such research use 
specifically, an assessment of research alternatives, including 
benefits and limitations of such alternatives, cost estimates, 
and areas of further need for innovative alternatives. In the 
fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification, the agreement 
requests NIH include a discussion of research alternatives in 
use and those in development.
    Mucopolysaccharide Diseases.--The agreement encourages 
expanded research of treatments for neurological, chronic 
inflammation, cardiovascular, and skeletal manifestations of 
mucopolysaccharide (MPS) and ML diseases, with an emphasis on 
gene therapy. The agreement also encourages NIH to increase 
funding to grantees to incentivize MPS research, particularly 
given the age and small population of current researchers. 
Understanding the manifestations and treatments of both the 
skeletal and neurological disease continue to be the greatest 
areas of unmet need.
    Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.--The 
agreement commends NIH on its new Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) efforts, including its 2019 
conference on accelerating research into ME/CFS, the formation 
of the National Advisory Neurological Disorders and Stroke 
(NANDSC) Council Working Group, and the unanimous adoption of 
the working group's report and recommendations on September 4, 
2019. The agreement strongly encourages NIH to implement the 
recommendations in the NANDSC report, in particular to 
accelerate the identification of ME/CFS subtypes through the 
development of an ME/CFS Registry and Biorepository and to 
increase the number of ME/CFS research grant applications by 
investing in early career investigators as recommended in the 
NANDSC report. The agreement also recommends that NIH expand 
ME/CFS efforts, for example, by developing: (1) new ME/CFS 
disease specific funding announcements, including those with 
set-aside funds, to deliver needed diagnostics and treatments 
as quickly as possible; (2) an initiative to reach consensus on 
the ME/CFS case definition; and (3) mechanisms to incentivize 
researchers to enter the field.
    National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases.--OD and NHLBI 
are applauded for facilitating the 2015 Trans-NIH Lymphatics 
Symposium. Lymphatics research has the scientific potential to 
treat a variety of severe diseases, including heart disease, 
diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. The Director is 
encouraged to establish a National Commission on Lymphatic 
Diseases or other appropriate mechanism to explore and make 
recommendations on the ongoing expansion and coordination of 
lymphatic diseases research NIH-wide.
    News Briefings.--Until recently, NIH provided the 
Committees with a summary of the day's news articles on itself, 
health and medical news, global health updates, and other 
topics affecting its operations. The agreement directs NIH to 
resume providing daily NIH news briefings within 14 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    Organ Donation and Transplantation.--The agreement includes 
$1,500,000 to contract with and fund a NASEM study to examine 
and recommend improvements to research, policies, and 
activities related to organ donation and transplantation. The 
report shall include: (1) identification of current challenges 
involved in modeling proposed organ allocation policy changes 
and recommendations to improve modeling; (2) recommendations 
about how costs should be factored into the modeling of organ 
allocation policy changes; (3) a review of scoring systems 
(e.g., CPRA, EPTS, KDPI, LAS, MELD, etc.) or other factors that 
determine organ allocation and patient prioritization and 
recommendations to assure fair and equitable practices are 
established, including reducing inequities affecting 
socioeconomically disadvantaged patient populations; (4) 
recommendations to update the OPTN's policies and processes to 
ensure that organ allocation decisions take into account the 
viewpoints of expert OPTN committees; and (5) such other issues 
as may be identified.
    Osteopathic Medical Schools.--The agreement notes concern 
about a lack of access to research funding for osteopathic 
medical schools through NIH, as osteopathic medicine is one of 
the fastest growing healthcare professions in the country, and 
realizes its vital role in treating our Nation's rural, 
underserved, and socioeconomically challenged populations.
    Pediatric Clinical Trials Authorized under Best 
Pharmaceuticals for Children Act.--The agreement directs that 
no less than $25,000,000 be used toward research in preparation 
for clinical trials authorized by the Best Pharmaceuticals for 
Children Act.
    Platform Technologies.--The agreement directs NIH to 
provide a report in the fiscal year 2021 Congressional 
Justification that identifies: (1) the challenges that 
currently limit NIH's ability to support the development of 
platform technologies, and how these might be addressed. 
Potential examples include: (a) low levels of engagement with 
researchers in the physical sciences, engineering, math, and 
computer science; (b) a culture that prioritizes hypothesis-
driven as opposed to technology-driven proposals; (c) the 
structure of the NIH, which is organized primarily around 
specific diseases or organs of the body; (d) a typical size and 
duration of research grants that may not be aligned with the 
level of investment required for advances in platform 
technologies; and (e) difficulty in supporting high-risk, high-
return ideas; (2) the specific unmet needs for basic, clinical 
and translational research that might motivate investment in 
transformational platform technologies that could be high-
impact and timely, given recent scientific and technological 
advances and unmet medical needs; and (3) changes that NIH and 
Congress should consider with respect to its ability to 
identify and fund promising research proposals for platform 
technologies. Examples include: (a) recruiting NIH personnel 
and members of study sections with relevant expertise; (b) 
supporting workshops and the development of roadmaps for 
platform technologies; (c) increasing funding mechanisms that 
are appropriate for platform technologies that are relevant to 
multiple NIH Institutes, such as the Common Fund or NIBIB; (d) 
increasing NIH's capacity to partner with industry on the 
development of platform technologies, such as use of Other 
Transactions authorities; (e) experimentation with different 
models for funding and managing research, such as the DARPA 
model for recruiting and empowering world-class program 
managers; (f) use of incentive prizes, milestone payments and 
open innovation techniques; and (g) funding non-profit research 
institutes that have an increased capacity to manage more 
complex research projects that require professional scientists, 
engineers, and product managers, not just graduate students and 
postdoctoral researchers. The agreement encourages NIH to 
engage the research community and industry as it develops its 
response to these questions and options.
    Precision Medicine and the Pediatric Population.--The 
agreement recognizes the potential that precision medicine 
holds for all populations, including children, and encourages 
NIH to prioritize timely and meaningful enrollment for the 
pediatric population, including healthy children and those with 
rare disease, in the All of Us program. The agreement requests 
an update within 60 days on the timing for the Special 
Populations Committee to provide recommendations regarding the 
practical considerations of child enrollment and data 
collection involving children. Additionally, the agreement 
directs that NIH provide an update on plans to ensure that the 
research cohort includes a sufficient number of children to 
make meaningful studies possible, the target date for 
enrollment to commence and how enrollment strategies will 
include input from pediatric stakeholders across the country 
with experience in pediatric clinical trial enrollment.
    Rare Diseases.--There is concern with unknown costs 
resulting from undiagnosed and untreated rare diseases. As a 
result, the agreement directs GAO to study what is known about 
the total impact rare diseases have on the U.S. economy, 
including direct medical costs, non-medical costs, loss of 
income, and the societal consequence of undiagnosed and 
untreated rare disease. No later than two years after the date 
of enactment of this Act, GAO shall provide a report on its 
findings to the Committees.
    Regenerative Medicine.--NIH is encouraged, in collaboration 
with FDA and HRSA, to engage experts and stakeholders to define 
data types and standards necessary to collect data and measure 
outcomes related to regenerative cell therapies and conduct 
real-world testing through a pilot outcomes database for 
regenerative adult cell therapies, including products 
administered under FDA Investigational New Drug or 
Investigational Device Exemption protocols.
    Spina Bifida.--The agreement encourages NIA, NIDDK, NICHD, 
and NINDS to study the causes and care of the neurogenic 
bladder and kidney disease to improve the quality of life of 
children and adults with Spina Bifida; to support research to 
address issues related to the treatment and management of Spina 
Bifida and associated secondary conditions, such as 
hydrocephalus; and to invest in understanding the myriad co-
morbid conditions experienced by individuals with Spina Bifida, 
including those associated with both paralysis and 
developmental delay. The agreement supports the specific 
efforts of NICHD to understand early human development; set the 
foundation for healthy pregnancy, and lifelong wellness of 
women and children; and promote the gynecological, andrological 
and reproductive health for people with Spina Bifida. 
Additionally, NICHD is encouraged to identify sensitive time 
periods to optimize health interventions; improve health during 
transition from adolescence to adulthood; and ensure safe and 
effective therapeutics and devices.
    Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions 
Initiative.--The agreement applauds NIH for its cross-cutting 
Simulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions Initiative 
and is pleased by the Initiative's attention to research that 
aims to address gaps in treatments for patients suffering from 
gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiac, and other disorders. 
NIH is encouraged to work collaboratively across its Institutes 
and Centers on innovative ways to expand treatment options for 
these often burdensome conditions.
    Temporomandibular Disorders.--For the first time, the 
nation's leaders in health and medicine are enlisting experts 
to review all aspects of TMD, generating recommendations for 
research, regulation, and policy. To continue to build on 
advances in coordinated research and treatment, the agreement 
asks OD, as it continues to work with NASEM on the study, to 
explore the creation of a NIH inter-Institute TMD working group 
and to report to the Committees within 90 days following the 
publication of the final report.
    Traumatic Brain Injury.--The agreement directs NIH to 
enhance its research efforts on alternative treatment methods 
for TBI and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including 
hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). The agreement encourages 
NIH to partner with DoD and VA to research treatment 
alternatives such as HBOT for veterans living with PTSD and/or 
TBI.
    Trisomy 21.--The agreement includes $60,000,000 for support 
of the Investigation of Co-Occurring Conditions Across the 
Lifespan to Understand Down Syndrome (INCLUDE) Initiative. It 
is expected that this multi-year, trans-NIH research initiative 
may yield scientific discoveries that could significantly 
improve the health and quality of life of individuals with Down 
syndrome as well as millions of typical individuals. The 
agreement requests the Director provide a plan within 60 days 
of enactment of this Act that includes a timeline description 
of potential grant opportunities and deadlines for all expected 
funding opportunities so that young investigators and new 
research institutions may be further encouraged to explore 
research in this space. This plan should also incorporate 
pipeline research initiatives specific to Down syndrome.
    Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.--The agreement encourages the 
Director to apply recommendations from two recent NIH-sponsored 
workshops on Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC): the 
Neurodevelopmental Disorders Biomarkers Workshop held in 
December 2017 involving TSC and related neurodevelopmental 
disorders to take advantage of biomarker expertise and lessons 
learned across disease groups, and the workshop entitled 
Accelerating the Development of Therapies for Anti-
Epileptogenesis and Disease Modification held in August 2018 
for which TSC is a model disorder with the ability to diagnose 
TSC prior to onset of epilepsy.
    Urinary Tract Infections.--The agreement commends NIH for 
supporting research across the lifespan to better understand 
the genitourinary microbiome, the role of inflammation in 
bladder health, and the impact of these factors in urinary 
tract infections (UTIs). NIH should continue research in the 
development of new and novel therapies to treat and prevent 
UTIs, including small molecule candidates and other approaches 
that can disrupt infection and new antibiotics against 
extensively drug-resistant bacterial strains. The agreement 
supports the development of preventive therapies and new 
treatment strategies.
    Inclusion in Clinical Research.--The agreement directs NIH 
to fund a NASEM study examining and quantifying the long-term 
medical and economic impacts of the inclusion of women and 
racial and ethnic minorities in biomedical research and 
subsequent translational work, and has provided $1,200,000 to 
fund this effort. NIH is directed to report to the Committees 
on this issue and it should include a review of the existing 
research on the long-term economic benefits of increasing the 
participation of women and racial and ethnic minorities in 
clinical trials and biomedical research, including an analysis 
of fiscal implications of inclusion on the nation's overall 
healthcare costs; examine new programs and interventions in 
medical centers that are currently working to increase 
participation of women of lower socioeconomic status and women 
who are members of racial and ethnic minority groups; identify 
programs that are positively addressing issues of 
underrepresentation; and analyze whether and how those programs 
are replicable and scalable; and identify more inclusive 
institutional and informational policies and procedures to 
improve health outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities, 
including health referral forms, continuing education classes, 
and more.

                        BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

    The bill includes $225,000,000 from HHS' Nonrecurring 
Expenses Fund for buildings and facilities. The agreement 
directs NIH to provide a report with the fiscal year 2021 
Congressional Justification describing the steps it has taken 
and will take to implement the recommendations in the 2019 
NASEM report Managing the NIH Bethesda Campus' Capital Assets 
in a Highly Competitive Global Biomedical Research Environment. 
There is a particular interest in the actions NIH is taking to 
apply the recommendations to update the Buildings and 
Facilities prioritization model, develop an annual budget 
request for Backlog of Maintenance and Repair, and strengthen 
its internal governance process, including assigning and 
empowering a senior leader to manage capital planning.
    In addition, the agreement directs NIH to provide quarterly 
briefings of its Buildings and Facilities maintenance and 
construction plans, including specific milestones for advancing 
projects, status of the project, cost, and priority. These 
updates should also highlight and explain any potential cost 
and schedule changes affecting projects.

   Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)

    The agreement encourages SAMHSA to exercise maximum 
flexibility when developing funding opportunity announcements 
to ensure that all eligible applicants may apply.

                             MENTAL HEALTH

    Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics.--The 
agreement includes increased funding and directs SAMHSA to 
prioritize resources to entities within States that are part of 
the section 223(a) of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 
2014 (P.L. 113-93) demonstration and to entities within States 
that were awarded planning grants.
    Mental Health.--The agreement directs SAMHSA to provide a 
comprehensive plan to the Committees no later than 60 days 
after enactment of this Act identifying current gaps in mental 
health care programs, highlighting how programs can help close 
those gaps, and providing recommendations to meet the needs of 
those experiencing mental illness.
    National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative.--The agreement 
intends that $13,000,000 is for a new competitive process to 
expand support for universities, hospitals, and community-based 
programs, of which at least $4,000,000 is to be prioritized for 
mental health services for unaccompanied alien children. The 
agreement also provides an additional $2,000,000 for activities 
authorized under section 582(d) and (e) of the Public Health 
Service Act.
    Within the total provided for Mental Health Programs of 
Regional and National Significance (PRNS), the agreement 
includes the following amounts:

    Comprehensive Opioid Recovery Centers.--The agreement 
includes funding to provide grants, as authorized by section 
7121 of the SUPPORT Act (P.L. 115-271), to previous recipients 
of HRSA Rural Communities Opioid Response Program Planning 
Grants that provide comprehensive treatment and recovery 
services in rural communities, including Tribal communities.
    Criminal Justice Activities.--The agreement prioritizes 
funding for centers that provide assistance to those with 
severe mental health needs who are at risk of recidivism. The 
agreement encourages SAMHSA to prioritize applications from 
areas with high rates of uninsured individuals, poverty, and 
substance use disorders.
    Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health.--The agreement 
includes an increase to fund additional grants. The agreement 
continues to recommend providing grants to entities such as

insurance, or workers' compensation is involved.
    Colorectal Cancer Screenings.--The agreement encourages CMS 
to use its existing authority to increase access to colorectal 
cancer screenings by exploring options to reduce out-of-pocket 
costs associated with screening colonoscopies when a polyp or 
lesion is found and removed.
    Computed Tomography (CT) Colonography.--The agreement 
encourages CMS to consider existing evidence to determine 
whether CMS should cover CT colonography as a Medicare-covered 
colorectal cancer screening test under section 1861(pp)(1) of 
the Social Security Act.
    Data Collection Process for Laboratory Testing.--The 
agreement encourages CMS to continue to work with laboratory 
stakeholders to further refine and evaluate the data collection 
process under section 216 of the Protecting Access to Medicare 
Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-93) to ensure that the information

CMS to extend the pilot program established by a final 
regulation published on March 18, 2015, to allow limited 
wraparound benefits, or supplements, to individual health 
insurance coverage (or Basic Health Plan coverage). Wraparound 
coverage is a specialized offering targeted to help part-time

consultation with the Secretaries of Labor and Treasury, to, 
once enacted, move swiftly to implement legislation creating a 
secure Federal database and support States in collecting data 
and claims that will enable analysis of the utilization and 
prices of healthcare items and services.
    Medicare Coverage of Innovative Drugs and Products.--The 
agreement encourages CMS to explore different ways to reimburse 
for innovative drugs approved by FDA in a manner that protects 
beneficiary access and encourages continued innovation while 
preserving the Medicare trust funds.
    Medicare Coverage of In-Home Intravenous Immunoglobulin.--
The agreement is aware of a demonstration evaluating bundled 
payment covering items and services needed to administer 
intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) into beneficiaries with 
primary immunodeficiency diseases. The agreement is also aware 
of ongoing rulemaking pertaining to the permanent Medicare home 
infusion services payment for therapies like IVIG. As CMS 
continues with rulemaking for the permanent home infusion 
therapy benefit, the agreement encourages CMS to articulate 
this position in future rulemaking.
    Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program.--The agreement 
encourages CMS to minimize the regulatory barriers impeding 
potential or existing suppliers from delivering the Diabetes 
Prevention Program (DPP) to Medicare beneficiaries, and to 
allow the full range of CDC-recognized DPP providers to 
participate as Medicare DPP suppliers.

implemented policies that prevent consumers from purchasing 
stand-alone dental benefits and encourages CMS to permit the 
purchase of stand-alone dental plans separate from the purchase 
of qualified health plans beginning with the 2020 plan year. 
The agreement encourages CMS to report annually on State-level 
oral health and dental benefits available to adult populations, 
including pregnant women.
    Program Integrity.--The agreement notes the Committees have 
yet to receive the briefing on program integrity requested in 
Senate Report 115-289. The agreement requests the briefing from 
CMS's Center for Program Integrity within 60 days of enactment 
of this Act.
    Recovery Audit Program.--The agreement directs CMS to 
conduct an internal review of their Recovery Audit program in 
an effort to identify inefficiencies in the current system. CMS 
shall include their findings in the annual report to Congress.
    Reimbursement Coding for Reducing Opioid Consumption.--The 
agreement urges CMS to collaborate with the FDA and consider 
approved devices and therapies for unique post-surgery patient 
populations for effective pain management. In addition, CMS 
should take steps to improve tracking of patient pain scores 
and opioid consumption using alternative means for effective 
pain management.
    Revisions to Office Visit Services.--The agreement notes 
that the CMS final 2019 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rule 
outlines significant changes to how evaluation and management 
services will be documented and paid for beginning in 2021. The 
agreement encourages CMS to ensure that payment changes do not 
further exacerbate workforce shortages.
    Risk Corridor Program.--CMS is directed to provide a yearly 
report to the Committees detailing any changes to the receipt 
and transfer of payments.
    Robotic Stereotactic Radiosurgery.--The agreement 
encourages CMS not to make payment changes to robotic 
stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and robotic stereotactic body 
radiation therapy (SBRT) in the freestanding or hospital 
outpatient setting as CMS complies with the Patient Access and 
Medicare Protection Act and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. 
The agreement encourages CMS to maintain stable payment for 
robotic SRS and robotic SBRT performed in Core-Based 
Statistical Areas that are not randomly selected to participate 
in the alternative payment model.
    Rural Healthcare Facilities.--The agreement encourages CMS 
to continue working with States and State hospital associations 
on alternative payment models for rural medical centers that 
support future financial stability and announce potential 
models in 2020 with participants who demonstrate clear 
community support for engaging these new programmatic 
flexibilities.
    Telehealth.--To address inconsistency with billing and 
coding across Medicaid, the agreement encourages CMS to issue 
guidance outlining a recommended, but voluntary, set of billing 
codes, modifiers and/or place of service designations for use 
in State Medicaid programs.
    Therapeutic Foster Care.--The agreement requests an update 
in the fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification on the 
study requested in House Report 114-699.
    Underperforming Healthcare Facilities.--Within six months 
of enactment of this Act, the agreement directs CMS to provide 
the Committees a report on the resources the agency requires to 
ensure all nominees for the program become full participants, 
subject to the special focus facility (SFF) program's enhanced 
surveying and progressive enforcement standards. The agreement 
further directs CMS to disclose the names of nursing homes that 
are eligible for the SFF program, but are not officially part 
of SFF, on the Nursing Home Compare website.
    Workforce Capacity for Infectious Diseases and the Opioid 
Epidemic.--The agreement continues to encourage CMS to 
collaborate with SAMHSA, CDC, and HRSA to support education and 
training for medical providers on the frontlines of the opioid 
epidemic to help expand access to comprehensive, coordinated 
care for opioid addiction and related infectious diseases.

             Administration for Children and Families (ACF)


                   LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE

    The agreement includes a new provision limiting annual 
decreases in State allocations, preventing States from 
receiving less than 97 percent of what they received the prior 
fiscal year.
    Within 120 days of enactment of this Act, the agreement 
directs ACF to submit to the Committees and make publicly 
available a report evaluating the program's formula and 
allocations of funding among States, including an assessment of 
available data, how the formula currently addresses annual 
fluctuations in formula factors, and the percentage of eligible 
households served, average assistance amount, and percentage of 
home energy costs covered by that amount by State.

                     REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE

    The agreement notes that appropriate consultation with 
Congress is required by statute in advance of the 
Administration's determination on the number of refugees to be 
admitted during the coming fiscal year. In times of reductions 
in refugee arrivals, the agreement encourages HHS, to the 
extent practicable, to ensure that resettlement agencies can 
maintain their infrastructure and capacity at a level to 
continue to serve all refugees and to ensure future arrivals 
are adequately served. The agreement strongly encourages the 
Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to continue to meet, on no 
less than a bi-monthly basis, with outside organizations with 
expertise in ORR programs to provide updates and hear the 
perspective of these stakeholders.
    Transitional and Medical Services.--The agreement strongly 
encourages ORR to increase the percentage of eligible arrivals 
served by the matching grant program and to provide flexibility

for services for foreign national victims and $8,255,000 for 
services for U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents. The 
agreement includes no less than $3,500,000 for the National 
Human Trafficking Hotline and urges extension of the 
cooperative agreement from 3 to 5 years to align with other 
Federally-funded hotlines.

Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC)

    Children Separated from a Parent or Legal Guardian.--The 
agreement includes a public reporting requirement with respect 
to children who have been separated from a parent or legal 
guardian. In addition, the agreement notes HHS has not yet 
complied with the reporting requirements included in Senate 
Report 115-289 regarding the demographics of separated children 
and expects the Department to begin providing this information.
    Facility Oversight.--ORR is expected to maintain strict 
oversight of all ORR-funded care provider facilities and to 
report and correct violations of Federal, State, or local codes 
related to standards of childcare or the wellbeing of children. 
Within 60 days of enactment of this Act, ORR is directed to 
submit to the Committees a report detailing the number and 
nature of violations by facility, and steps taken to address 
such infractions.
    Indigenous Languages.--ORR is encouraged, to the extent 
possible, to provide culturally competent, in person education 
and translation services to children in custody.
    Length of Care.--The agreement directs ORR to provide a 
briefing to the Committees within 120 days of enactment of this 
Act on options and plans for children who have been in ORR 
custody for extended periods of time. In addition, ORR is 
directed to continue to prioritize case management services and 
staffing, including Federal Field Specialists, lowering the 
ratio of children per case coordinator.
    The agreement includes language continuing current law 
regarding the operational directives issued to modify sponsor 
suitability requirements, which significantly reduced the 
length of time children spend in care. The agreement expects 
HHS to continue to work on efforts to reduce time in care and 
to consider additional policy changes that can be made to 
release children to suitable sponsors as safely and 
expeditiously as possible. The agreement does not provide 
further direction on this issue.
    Mental Health Services.--The agreement encourages ORR to 
continue collaborating with the National Child Traumatic Stress 
Network and notes that no less than $4,000,000 is included in

    New Models of Care Delivery.--ORR is urged to include in 
the fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification information 
about any plans being considered for new models of care 
delivery, along with a justification for how new models could 
best meet the needs of children in ORR care. When exploring the 
feasibility of such models, ORR is expected to prioritize 
community engagement, the use of pilot projects with short-term 
duration to demonstrate proof of concept before making 
significant or long-term investments, and a collaborative and 
transparent communications strategy with external stakeholders 
and Congress.
    Office of Inspector General Report Recommendations.--The 
agreement requests an update in the fiscal year 2021 
Congressional Justification on the status of ORR's 
implementation of recommendations made in recent inspector 
general reports.
    Records Requests.--The agreement expects ORR to maintain 
records and respond to records requests consistent with the 
requirements of section 552 of title 5, U.S. Code, for 
information related to all children in care, regardless of 
whether such children are housed in Federal facilities or, to 
the extent possible, non-Federal facilities managed by 
contractors or other private entities.
    Services for Children.--The agreement includes an increase 
in funding for legal services, child advocates, and post-
release services to support the expansion of State-licensed 
shelters, and to allow for the resumption and expansion of 
services to children released from ORR care. Using funds 
provided in this agreement, combined with funding from the 
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian 
Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019 (P.L. 
116-26), ORR is directed to continue to expand such services 
beyond currently estimated levels, including for children 
released in high-release communities.
    The agreement strongly encourages ORR to notify legal 
service providers at the time new grant awards are made and 
prior to opening a shelter, and to provide monthly estimates of 
funded capacity by shelter. Additionally, the agreement 
strongly encourages ORR to ensure that all UAC shelters provide 
space for legal service providers to meet with children.
    Within amounts provided for post-release services in this 
agreement and combined with funds from P.L 116-26, ORR is 
directed to expand post-release services capacity to eliminate 
the waitlist of children qualifying for Trafficking Victims 
Protection Reauthorization Act-mandated services, and to expand 
services to children that case managers identify would benefit 
from such services.
    Sibling Placement.--The agreement directs ORR to place 
siblings in the same facility, or with the same sponsor, to the 
extent practicable, and so long as it is appropriate and in the 
best interest of the child.
    Spend Plan.--The agreement directs ORR to incorporate all 
funding provided in this Act into a comprehensive spend plan 
that must be submitted to the Committees every 60 days in 
accordance with section 410 of the Emergency Supplemental 
Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the 
Southern Border Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-26).
    Sponsorship Suitability Determination Process.--The 
Department is directed to ensure all grantees are provided 
clear guidance to communicate with potential sponsors regarding 
current law regarding the use of personal information collected 
as part of the sponsor suitability determination process. The 
agreement expects consistent monitoring to ensure program 
policies are applied appropriately by all grantees in an effort 
to place children with sponsors as safely and expeditiously as 
practicable.
    State Licensed Shelters.--The agreement directs ORR to 
prioritize licensed, community-based residential care 
placements (including long-term and transitional foster care 
and small group homes) over large-scale institutions and to 
notify the Committees prior to all new funding opportunity 
announcements, grant or contract awards, or plans to lease or 
acquire property. Such notification should include associated 
timelines and costs.
    Temporary Influx Shelters.--The agreement includes language 
continuing current law conditions on the use of temporary 
influx shelters, strengthens oversight and monitoring of 
facilities, and requires Congressional notifications and 
reporting requirements if a shelter is operationalized. The 
agreement requests HHS submit a report to the Committees within 
90 days of enactment of this Act detailing the barriers to 
State-licensing, including any State child welfare laws and 
regulations, that could not be met for any influx facility 
operational in fiscal year 2019. If an influx shelter is opened 
in fiscal year 2020, ORR shall submit a report to the 
Committees with the same information within 90 days. In 
addition, the agreement notes that the spend plan required 
every 60 days must include a detailed cost breakdown of any 
facility, regardless of its operational status.
    Tender Age Children.--The agreement directs ORR to include 
in the fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification information 
on efforts to ensure developmentally appropriate care for 
tender age children, including placement options, services and 
staff training, as well as an assessment of circumstances under 
which very young children are referred to ORR.

    Early Head Start Expansion (EHS) and EHS-Child Care 
Partnerships.--The agreement modifies bill language to simplify 
the administration of EHS Expansion and EHS-Child Care 
Partnerships (EHS-CCP) grants, but does not otherwise change 
the use of funds provided for such purposes. The agreement 
continues to strongly support EHS Expansion and EHS-CCPs, and 
accordingly, the agreement includes at least $905,000,000 for 
such purposes, an increase of $100,000,000. Since fiscal year 
2014, these funds have supported both the expansion of

EHS providers and local child care programs. The agreement 
directs ACF to continue to prioritize equally EHS Expansion and 
EHS-CCP, as determined by the needs of local communities. The 
agreement expects that any funds used for EHS Expansion and 
EHS-Child Care-Partnership grants that are re-competed would 
continue to be used for such purposes. Finally, the agreement

and other traumatic experiences that can negatively impact 
child development and lead to disruptions in classroom 
environments. The agreement directs the Administration to allow 
flexibility to meet local needs while focusing these funds on 
staff training for trauma-informed care and identification of 
signs of addiction and hardship; mental health consultation 
services to provide expert care and counseling to families and 
the Head Start workforce; and additional staffing to Head Start 
classes in high-risk substance use communities to maintain

programs that may be eligible for funding under title IV-E of 
the Social Security Act.
    Regional Partnership Grants.--The agreement includes 
$10,000,000 for Regional Partnership Grants (RPGs) and strongly

                               TITLE III


                        DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


                      School Improvement Programs

    Homeless Children and Youth.--The Department implemented a 
reorganization of offices which in part altered the 
administration of the McKinney-Vento program, recently 
strengthened in the reauthorization of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The Department shall brief the 
Committees no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act on 
the resources currently being devoted to monitoring compliance 
with ESEA accountability and State and local report card 
provisions related to homeless children and youth and 
supporting State educational agencies (SEA) and local 
educational agencies (LEA) in achieving and maintaining 
compliance with such provisions; the internal support within 
other program offices in the Department being provided to 
assist with administration of the Education for Homeless 
Children and Youth (EHCY) program; and the resources available 
for monitoring compliance with EHCY program requirements at the 
SEA and LEA level.
    Education for Native Hawaiians.--The agreement includes 
sufficient funding for the Native Hawaiian Education Council.
    Alaska Native Education Equity.--The Department is directed 
to make every effort to ensure that grants are awarded well in 
advance of the school year, to maximize grantees' ability to 
hire the necessary staff and have their programs in place by 
the start of Alaska's school year in mid-August. The Department 
is directed to ensure that Alaska Native Tribes, Alaska Native 
regional non-profits, and Alaska Native corporations have the 
maximum opportunity to compete successfully for grants under 
this program by providing these entities multiple opportunities 
for technical assistance in developing successful applications 
for these funds, both in Alaska and through various forms of 
telecommunications. Finally, the Department is encouraged to 
include as many peer reviewers as possible who have experience 
with Alaska Native education and Alaska generally on each peer 
review panel.
    Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) Grants.--The 
Department should examine State and local expenditures, 
outlined by specific authorized activities, and provide 
information about the most common uses of funds, as well as 
information about how LEAs plan to evaluate the effectiveness 
of their activities. The Department also should study how SEAs 
are collecting data from LEAs, including how States are 
verifying that funds are being used in an authorized manner 
and, as applicable, in accordance with required comprehensive 
needs assessments, and that LEAs are meeting the objectives and 
outcomes described in their applications. The Department should 
publish reports on these studies publicly and is encouraged to 
conduct such studies periodically as appropriate. Finally, the 
agreement does not provide direction regarding guidance on 
allowable uses of funds.
    SSAE Technical Assistance and Capacity Building.--The 
agreement expects funds reserved for technical assistance and 
capacity building to be used strictly to support SEAs and LEAs 
in carrying out authorized activities under this program. In 
the fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification, the 
Department shall provide current and planned expenditures, and 
include a plan for how resources will be spent to build the 
capacity of SEAs and LEAs and provide technical assistance. The 
plan should include how resources will be spent helping SEAs 
and LEAs vet evidence, implement evidence-based interventions, 
and incorporate evidence-based SSAE activities into school 
improvement strategies.

                            Indian Education

    National Activities.--Within the total, the agreement 
includes no less than $2,811,000 for Native American language 
immersion programs authorized under section 6133 of ESEA. These 
funds should be allocated to all types of eligible entities, 
including both new and existing language immersion programs and 
schools, to support the most extensive possible geographical 
distribution and language diversity. Further, the Department is 
directed to give the same consideration to applicants that 
propose to provide partial immersion schools and programs as to 
full immersion, as the local Tribes, schools, and other 
applicants know best what type of program will most effectively 
assist their youth to succeed.
    Special Programs for Indian Children.--The President's 
budget request includes up to $10,000,000 to expand the ability 
of families to choose high-quality educational opportunities to 
meet the needs of Native youth. The Department shall only 
pursue this initiative if supported by Tribes after Tribal 
consultation. Accordingly, the Department is directed to 
include information on the planned use of funds under the 
Special Programs for Indian Children program in the operating 
plan required under section 516 of this Act, and to brief the 
Committees not less than 30 days prior to posting any notice 
inviting applications under this program.

                       Innovation and Improvement

    Education Innovation and Research (EIR).--Within the total 
for EIR, the agreement includes $65,000,000 to provide grants 
for social and emotional learning (SEL). Within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Department is directed to brief the 
Committees on plans for carrying out the SEL competition. In 
addition, the Department shall provide notice to the Committees 
at least seven days before grantees are announced.
    In addition, within the total for EIR, the agreement 
includes $65,000,000 for Science, Technology, Education, and 
Math (STEM) and computer science education activities. This 
could also include grants to SEAs, including in partnership 
with non-profit organizations, for State-led efforts to 
implement, replicate, or expand Statewide professional 
development programs. Within the STEM and computer science set-
aside, awards should expand opportunities for underrepresented 
students such as minorities, girls, and youth from families 
living at or below the poverty line to help reduce the 
enrollment and achievement gap. The agreement supports the 
Department's prioritization of computer science education in 
fiscal year 2019 EIR grant competitions and the Department 
should continue this in fiscal year 2020.
    Grant Priorities.--There is significant demand from the 
field to test many types of strategies and to examine promising 
techniques that can be scaled-up in different settings. EIR 
should continue to support diverse and field-initiated 
interventions. The Department is directed to brief the 
Committees on the fiscal year 2020 funding opportunities 
available under this program, including any specified 
priorities, not less than 30 days prior to releasing a notice 
inviting applications.
    Rural Set-Aside.--The Department is encouraged to take 
steps necessary to ensure the set-aside is met and that EIR 
funds are awarded to diverse geographic areas.
    Charter Schools Program.--The agreement includes 
$140,000,000 for replicating and expanding high-quality charter 
school models; $225,000,000 for grants to State entities to 
support high-quality charter schools; and $60,000,000 for 
facilities financing assistance, of which not less than 
$50,000,000 shall be for the Credit Enhancement program. In 
addition, the agreement continues support for developer grants 
to establish or expand charter schools in underserved, high-
poverty, rural areas, as referenced in the joint explanatory 
statement accompanying P.L. 115-245.
    Arts in Education.--The agreement provides funding for each 
activity within this program at no less than the fiscal year 
2019 level.
    Ready to Learn.--In addition to language in House Report 
116-62, the Department should refrain from making changes to 
the Ready to Learn program that would impede or impair 
production and nationwide distribution of television content, 
digital content, and supplemental materials through local 
public telecommunications entities.
    Supporting Effective Educator Development (SEED).--Within 
SEED, the Department is directed to support professional 
development that helps educators incorporate SEL practices into 
teaching, and to support pathways into teaching that provide a 
strong foundation in child development and learning, including 
skills for implementing SEL strategies in the classroom. Within 
90 days of enactment of this Act, the Department is directed to 
brief the Committees on plans for supporting SEL within SEED. 
In addition, the Department shall provide notice to the 
Committees at least seven days before grantees are announced.
    In addition, the SEED program is an ideal vehicle for 
helping ensure that more highly trained school leaders are 
available to serve in traditionally underserved LEAs. 
Therefore, the Secretary shall use a portion of funds made 
available for SEED to support the preparation of principals and 
other school leaders.
    Finally, students in rural public schools and public 
schools serving high percentages of Native students have 
particularly inequitable access to accomplished teachers. The 
Department should strongly consider establishing a priority for 
SEED projects addressing this issue and to increase the number 
of teachers in such schools who have earned a nationally 
recognized advanced credential.

                 Safe Schools and Citizenship Education

    Promise Neighborhoods.--The agreement includes $6,000,000 
for additional extension awards for grantees that received 
extension grants in fiscal year 2018 and have demonstrated 
positive and promising results. This funding is intended to 
support the final phase-out of Federal support.
    School Safety National Activities.--For fiscal year 2020, 
$10,000,000 is provided for awards to SEAs, LEAs, or consortia 
of LEAs to increase the number of qualified, well-trained 
counselors, social workers, psychologists, or other mental 
health professionals that provide school-based mental health 
services to students. To promote the sustainability of these 
services, the Secretary shall require that awards include a 25 
percent match from grantees and require that the awards do not 
supplant existing mental health funding. Within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Department is directed to brief the 
Committees on plans for carrying out the competition. In 
addition, the Department shall provide notice to the Committees 
at least seven days before grantees are announced.
    The Department is also directed to continue a demonstration 
project initiated in fiscal year 2019 to test and evaluate 
innovative partnerships to train school-based mental health 
professionals.
    Demonstration projects and competitions to train and 
increase the number of school-based mental health professionals 
support the implementation of trauma-informed practices and 
other mental health supports in schools. Fostering trauma-
informed cultures in schools helps both students and staff 
succeed by addressing the impacts of trauma; improves school 
capacity to identify, refer, and provide services to students; 
can improve staff retention and help keep students in school; 
and support learning environments where students feel safe, 
supported, and ready to learn.
    Opioid Substance Use Disorder and Prevention.--The 
Department has implemented a priority in grant competitions for 
projects addressing opioid substance use disorder and 
prevention. More must be done to prevent opioid substance use 
disorder by students and address the mental health needs of 
students affected by opioid substance use disorder in their 
families or communities.
    Project SERV.--The Department should ensure that funding 
made available for Project SERV grants is promptly awarded to 
eligible entities located in areas with high rates of community 
violence to restore any learning environment that was disrupted 
by a violent or traumatic crisis.
    School Safety and Climate.--The Department is encouraged to 
partner with outside experts and other Federal agencies as 
appropriate to develop best-practices to improve school safety 
and school climate.
    State and Federal Coordination on School Safety and 
Climate.--Many States have researched and in some cases 
provided reports on the local needs and solutions to maintain 
safe and welcoming school climates. The Department is 
encouraged to review such reports and support SEAs, as 
authorized in ESEA.
    School Safety Clearinghouse and Mental Health Services for 
Students.--The Department is directed to brief the Committees 
within 90 days of enactment of this Act on: (1) the progress 
made by the Department in identifying, assessing, and 
disseminating evidence-based approaches to maintaining safe 
schools and positive learning environments for all students, 
including establishing a clearinghouse for such approaches; and 
(2) improving and expanding access to mental health services 
for students.

                      English Language Acquisition

    The Department is encouraged to help SEAs and LEAs make the 
best use of funding within this program and other Department 
programs to support English learners.

                           Special Education

    Education Materials in Accessible Formats for Students with 
Visual Impairments.--The agreement provides an increase of 
$500,000 and recognizes the ongoing progress made with the 
tools and services provided under Educational Technology, 
Media, and Materials that have allowed more than 620,000 
students with disabilities free access to more than 700,000 
books in digitally accessible formats. The Department is 
encouraged to continue to expand this program's reach to K-12 
students in underserved areas.
    Promoting Development of Social Skills for Students with 
Disabilities.--Within the total for Educational Technology, 
Media, and Materials, the agreement includes $1,000,000 for a 
demonstration project to facilitate the development of new 
educational strategies and programming for students with 
disabilities who could benefit from social skills instruction. 
This should include utilizing new technologies and evidence-
based curriculums in instructional settings, including advanced 
social robotics that integrate evidence-based practices to 
improve social skills and generate positive educational 
outcomes in students with disabilities.
    Medicaid Services.--Opportunities exist to streamline 
access to and improve the quality of special education 
services, and steps should be taken to reduce administrative 
barriers for providing health services in and in coordination 
with schools. The Office of Special Education and 
Rehabilitative Services should coordinate with the Centers for 
Medicare & Medicaid Services to develop training and provide 
technical assistance to assist with billing and payment 
administration for Medicaid services in schools.
    Special Olympics.--Within the total for Technical 
Assistance and Dissemination, the agreement includes 
$20,083,000, an increase of $2,500,000 above the fiscal year 
2019 funding level, to support activities authorized by the 
Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act, including Project 
UNIFY.

                        Rehabilitation Services

    Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants.--The agreement 
directs the Secretary to submit a report within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act to the Committees evaluating any changes 
in trends in employment outcomes for individuals with 
disabilities served by State vocational rehabilitation programs 
before and after the implementation of the WIOA. The agreement 
directs the Secretary to ensure appropriate State level 
implementation of the Rehabilitation Act, which may include the 
Department providing technical assistance as necessary.

           Special Institutions for Persons with Disabilities

    American Printing House for the Blind.--The agreement 
includes $2,000,000, an increase of $1,000,000, to continue and 
expand the Center for Assistive Technology Training regional 
partnership established in fiscal year 2019.
    National Technical Institute for the Deaf.--The agreement 
includes $5,500,000 to continue the National Technical 
Institute for the Deaf's (NTID) existing regional partnership 
in fiscal year 2020, intended to expand NTID's geographical 
reach and improve access to postsecondary STEM education and 
employment for students who are deaf or hard of hearing in 
underserved areas.
    Gallaudet University.--The agreement includes $3,000,000, 
an increase of $1,000,000, to continue the regional partnership 
established in fiscal year 2019 focused on early language 
acquisition for children from birth through age three who are 
deaf or hard of hearing.

                 Career, Technical, and Adult Education

    The Department is encouraged to establish the on-line 
portal for career and technical education students described in 
section 114(e)(7)(K) of the Carl D. Perkins Career and 
Technical Education Act.
    The Department is encouraged to work with the Departments 
of Defense, Labor, and Commerce to develop a pilot project to 
increase the quality of and participation in career and 
technical education programs that would help develop the 
skilled workforce needed for new submarine construction.

                      Student Financial Assistance

    Pell Grants.--The agreement increases the maximum award by 
$150, to $6,345 in academic year 2020-2021.
    Federal Work Study.--Within the total for Federal Work 
Study, the agreement includes $10,051,000, for the Work 
Colleges program authorized under section 448 of the Higher 
Education Act (HEA).

              Federal Direct Student Loan Program Account

    The Department shall brief the Committees of jurisdiction 
within 45 days of enactment of this Act on actions planned or 
taken: (1) to address and implement recommendations outlined in 
a GAO report titled ``Public Service Loan Forgiveness: 
Improving the Temporary Expanded Process Could Help Reduce 
Borrower Confusion'' (GAO-19-595); (2) to simplify the 
Temporary Expanded Public Service Loan Forgiveness (TEPSLF) 
application process so borrowers can apply for TEPSLF at the 
same time as they apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness 
(PSLF); (3) to provide more information to borrowers denied 
TEPSLF on the reason for the denial; (4) to conduct outreach to 
borrowers who may be eligible for TEPSLF; and (5) to improve 
administration of the PSLF program, including by implementing 
GAO's recommendations for that program.

                       Student Aid Administration

    Ability to Benefit.--The Department shall issue guidance 
that serves as a simple and clear resource for implementing 
Ability to Benefit at IHEs, which should restate the updated 
definition of a career pathway program and contain answers to 
frequently asked questions about program eligibility.
    Student Loan Servicing.-- The agreement includes 
$1,768,943,000 for Student Aid Administration. The Department 
has stated that the implementation of the Next Generation 
Servicing Environment (Next Gen) will address problems with the 
current student loan servicing environment and improve 
accountability and services for students, borrowers and 
families. However, full implementation of Next Gen will take 
several years. In the interim, the Department should continue 
to take steps to improve the current servicing environment.
    In addition to continuing statutory requirements from 
fiscal year 2019, the agreement includes new provisions 
directing the Department to hold servicers accountable for 
high-quality outcomes, noncompliance with Federal Student Aid 
(FSA) guidelines, contract requirements (e.g., an understanding 
of Federal and State law), and applicable laws, including 
misinformation provided to borrowers. In addition to provisions 
ensuring accountability and high-quality service from student 
loan servicers, the agreement also includes a new provision 
ensuring similar expectations, as applicable, for all of FSA's 
contractors. As part of this effort, it is expected that FSA 
will monitor performance and service delivery at the point of 
contact between contractors and borrowers, as applicable, to 
ensure such accountability and high-quality service.
    The Department should ensure, consistent with current 
statutory requirements, that the transition to Next Gen, 
including the Enhanced Processing Solution, does not rely on a 
single-servicer model. In addition to the directives in House 
Report 116-62, the agreement directs FSA to provide a detailed 
strategic plan for Next Gen to the Committees within 180 days 
of enactment of this Act, accounting for the cost of all 
activities associated with the full implementation of Next Gen, 
including transition costs, and to conduct semiannual briefings 
to the authorizing and Appropriations Committees.
    The agreement directs the Department to continue to provide 
to the Committees quarterly reports detailing its obligation 
plan by quarter for student aid administrative activities 
broken out by servicer, Next Gen contractor and activity and 
detailing performance metrics, total loan volume and number of 
accounts, broken out by servicer, Next Gen contractor and for 
each private collection agency.
    Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) 
Simplification and Data Linkages.--The agreement supports 
efforts to further simplify the FAFSA and verification process 
to reduce the burden on students and IHEs, including swift 
implementation of recent legislative changes to the sharing of 
information between the Department and Internal Revenue Service 
and ensuring all service members and veterans can identify 
their status when they apply for student aid separate from the 
dependency determination.
    Return of Title IV Funds.--The Department is encouraged to 
pursue efforts to simplify and streamline the return of title 
IV funds process for IHEs and students.
    Student Aid Enforcement.--The Department shall include 
information in its fiscal year 2021 Congressional Justification 
on staffing levels of the Student Aid Enforcement Unit and 
actions taken by the unit, including the number and type of 
actions opened, pending, and closed annually.
    Student Loan Cancellations and Discharges Reporting.--The 
Department should continue to bolster transparency through the 
Federal Student Aid Data Center by supplementing current 
reporting with, at a minimum, semiannual reports beginning no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, on each of the 
Federal student loan cancellation and discharge programs. Each 
report should include the total number of unique borrowers who 
have applied for a program or have been identified under an 
applicable data match (``borrowers''), unique borrowers in each 
applicable status (received, pending, approved, and denied), 
total loan balance in each applicable status (received, 
pending, approved, and denied), median amount discharged for 
each program, and percentage of unique borrowers subject to any 
partial discharge. The Department should publish disaggregated 
information by State, as possible, and make such information 
available publicly on the Department's website.
    Total and Permanent Disability.--The agreement directs the 
Department to provide a report to the Committees within 180 
days of enactment of this Act on steps taken or planned to be 
taken to improve information provided to students who are 
eligible for total and permanent disability discharge of 
Federal student loans or service obligations, including 
strategies used to improve outreach to all eligible borrowers 
and increase the number of qualifying individuals receiving 
discharges.
    Veterans Affairs Data Matching.--The Secretary shall 
provide a report not later than 90 days after enactment of this 
Act to the Committees on the implementation of the data 
matching system with the Department of Veterans Affairs to 
facilitate the discharge of student loans for veterans with 
total and permanent disabilities. Such report should include 
information about the number of veterans identified through the 
matching program, the number of loans automatically discharged 
as the result of the matching program, the number of loans 
discharged overall, and a description of the barriers for 
veterans who may be eligible for a student loan discharge for 
total and permanent disability but who have not received one, 
and planned actions for eliminating such barriers for veterans.

                            Higher Education


Aid for Institutional Development

    Strengthening Institutions.--The Department is encouraged 
to support programs at Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) 
that offer training programs that lead to certificates or 
industry-recognized credentials in high-demand fields; provide 
educational experiences that are closely aligned to actual 
workforce needs; provide customizable and quality educational 
opportunities; and connect students to comprehensive 
educational offerings that provide students with other 
essential skills.

Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities

    The agreement includes $11,800,000 to carry out activities 
under title VII, part D, subparts 2 and 4 of the HEA. Funds 
will be used by the Department to hold a new competition to 
build on the important work that has been done to develop 
postsecondary opportunities for students with intellectual 
disabilities through model projects and the National 
Coordinating Center (NCC), and to expand the work of the NCC to 
conduct research to identify effective strategies used by 
postsecondary programs for students with intellectual 
disabilities that lead to positive employment and independent 
living outcomes.

Federal TRIO Programs

    The Department is directed to allocate any grant funding 
not needed for non-competitive continuation awards or for 
programs up for re-competition in fiscal year 2020 to provide 
inflationary increases for current grantees and to increase the 
number and size of new awards in the Student Support Services 
grant competition. The Department is further directed to 
include proposed funding levels for each of the TRIO programs 
in the operating plan required under section 516 of this Act. 
There is great concern and disappointment that the Department 
has yet to issue a notice inviting applications for new awards 
for TRIO Student Support Services grants. The Department is 
directed to publish such notice inviting applications for new 
awards for TRIO Student Support Services grants no later than 
December 30, 2019 and take steps necessary to award funding as 
early as possible before the beginning of the academic year.

Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR 
        UP)

    The agreement notes concerns over the competition schedule 
for GEAR UP State and partnership grants. The agreement directs 
the Department to uphold the long-standing guidance that States 
may only administer one active State grant at a time. The 
Secretary is directed to provide written guidance in the 
Federal Register notifying applicants that only States without 
an active State grant, or States that have an active State 
grant that is scheduled to end prior to October 1, 2020, will 
be eligible to receive a new State award funded in whole or in 
part by this appropriation. The agreement directs the 
Department to provide a briefing to the Committees within 90 
days of enactment of this Act on this program and any planned 
competitions for fiscal year 2020.

Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education

    The agreement includes $24,500,000 for FIPSE, to remain 
available through December 31, 2020, for the following 
activities.
    Career Pathways.--The agreement includes $10,000,000 for 
grants to expand and improve career pathways opportunities for 
students beginning in high school. These grants should support 
the creation of sustainable, evidence-based career exploration 
and guidance systems that promote multiple pathways to 
postsecondary and career success.
    Centers of Excellence for Veterans Student Success 
Program.--The agreement includes $7,000,000 for the activity 
described under the heading ``Fund for the Improvement of 
Postsecondary Education'' and as set out in the paragraphs 
associated with the Centers of Excellence for Veterans Student 
Success Program in House Report 116-62.
    Open Textbook Pilot.--The agreement includes $7,000,000 to 
continue the Open Textbook Pilot and fund a new grant 
competition in fiscal year 2020. The Department shall issue a 
notice inviting applications consistent with notice and comment 
procedures and allow for a 60-day application period. This 
funding should support a significant number of grant awards to 
IHEs as defined by 20 U.S.C. 1001, a group of IHEs, or State 
higher education agencies that lead the activities of (and 
serve as fiscal agent for) a consortium. Funding should be used 
to create new open textbooks and expand the use of open 
textbooks in courses that are part of a degree granting 
program, and particularly those with high enrollments. 
Allowable uses of funds should include professional development 
for faculty and staff, including relating to the search for and 
review of open textbooks; the creation or adaptation of open 
textbooks; development or improvement of tools and 
informational resources that support the use of open textbooks, 
including accessible instructional materials for students with 
disabilities; and research evaluating the efficacy of the use 
of open textbooks for achieving savings for students and the 
impact on instruction and student learning outcomes. The 
Secretary shall require that any open textbooks created with 
these funds shall be released to the public under a non-
exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to 
exercise any of the rights under copyright conditioned only on 
the requirement that attribution be given as directed by the 
copyright owner. Further, any tools, technologies, or other 
resources that are created, developed, or improved wholly or in 
part with these funds for use with any open textbook must be 
similarly licensed. Any eligible entity receiving a grant 
through the Open Textbooks Pilot, upon completion of the 
supported project, shall report to the Secretary regarding the 
effectiveness of the project in expanding the use of open 
textbooks and in achieving savings for students; the impact of 
the project on expanding the use of open textbooks at IHEs 
outside of the institution receiving the grant; open textbooks 
created or adapted under the grant, including instructions on 
where the public can access each open textbook; the impact of 
the project on instruction and student learning outcomes; and 
all project costs, including the value of any volunteer labor 
and institutional capital used for the project. The Secretary 
shall make such reports publicly available.
    National Center for Information and Technical Support for 
Postsecondary Students with Disabilities.--The agreement 
includes $500,000 for the operation of the National Center for 
Information and Technical Support for Postsecondary Students 
with Disabilities authorized under section 777(a) of the HEA.

               Historically Black College and University


                   Capital Financing Program Account

    The agreement includes $46,484,000 for the Historically 
Black College and University (HBCU) Capital Financing program 
account. Using updated economic assumptions from the Department 
of Education, the funding provided for private loan deferments 
more accurately reflects those needs and continues all current 
loan deferments. The agreement includes additional funding and 
new bill language for the deferment of outstanding loans for 
public HBCUs. Further, the agreement directs the Department to 
provide such funding based on the quality of applications 
received and to prorate funds across all eligible schools.

                 Institute of Education Sciences (IES)

    Assessment.--The agreement supports assessments for 
students in United States History and Civics. The National 
Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) is directed to continue 
administering assessments in these two areas, at least every 4 
years, in accordance with the current National Assessment of 
Educational Progress (NAEP) schedule. The agreement notes 
concern with recent changes to the proposed NAEP schedule, some 
of which differ from the schedule outlined in the fiscal year 
2020 budget request, which proposed a reduction in funding for 
assessments that is part of the explanation for the modified 
assessment schedule. The Department and NAGB are directed to 
provide a briefing to the Committees within 45 days of 
enactment of this Act on the proposed changes and estimated 
funding needed to maintain the schedule outlined in the fiscal 
year 2020 budget request.
    Second Chance Pell.--The agreement directs IES to conduct a 
rigorous evaluation of the Second Chance Pell Experiment as 
announced in the Federal Register (Volume 80, Number 148 on 
Monday, August 3, 2015) and work with the Department's Policy 
and Program Studies on this effort. The agreement directs IES 
to submit the evaluation to the Committees within 30 days of 
completing the evaluation. The agreement also directs the 
Department to report no later than 90 days after the enactment 
of this Act on the implementation of GAO's recommendation in 
its April 2019 report, ``Federal Student Aid: Actions Needed to 
Evaluate Pell Grant Pilot for Incarcerated Students'' (GAO-19-
130).

                        Departmental Management

    Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) Compliance with ESEA.--The 
Department shall provide a report to the committees of 
jurisdiction within 180 days of enactment of this Act on how it 
evaluates the BIE's compliance with ESEA.
    Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC).--The agreement is 
concerned with the proposed elimination of key data elements 
from the 2019-20 CRDC that could impede efforts to identify and 
address inequities in educational resources and outcomes. 
Further, the agreement is concerned that the Department did not 
first review or evaluate the 2017-18 CRDC collection before 
proposing the elimination of these elements. As the CRDC is 
used to monitor and enforce equal opportunity in education, the 
agreement is concerned that the Department's rationale for 
elimination focused on reducing regulatory burden while not 
including a comprehensive analysis of whether eliminating 
certain data elements would negatively impact the ability to 
understand or address civil rights issues in our nation's 
schools. The agreement directs the Department to provide a 
briefing to the appropriations and authorizing Committees 
within 90 days of enactment of this Act on the proposed 
changes, how the changes reflect civil rights enforcement 
needs, information on the comments received on the proposal, an 
evaluation of the 2017-18 CRDC, and any impact on the mission 
and purpose of the CRDC and the Office for Civil Rights.
    Competitions.--The agreement notes long-standing concern 
regarding the Department's failure to issue notices inviting 
applications for competitive grant competitions in a timely 
manner. Such delays often result in a significant number of 
programs awarding grants in the final weeks of the fiscal year. 
Moreover, these delays have occurred for enduring, authorized 
programs for which there is sufficient funding history to 
believe appropriations will continue. The Department is 
directed to brief the Committees no later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act on steps it has taken or will take to 
issue notices earlier in fiscal year 2020 and subsequent years.
    Computer Science Education.--The agreement supports the 
Department's prioritization of computer science education in 
fiscal year 2019 grant competitions and supports this focus in 
fiscal year 2020.
    Department of Interior Schools.--The Departments of 
Education and Interior are commended for their efforts to 
improve the lives of American Indian students through a quality 
education. However, more should be done to improve the long-
documented issues facing Department of Interior schools. The 
Departments of Education and Interior are encouraged to 
continue to work together to improve the quality of education 
opportunities offered to Indian youth.
    Disaster Recovery.--Funding awarded under the Bipartisan 
Budget Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-123) is available for obligation 
through fiscal year 2022, in part to address potentially 
lengthy recovery efforts. As grantees have experienced both 
expected and unexpected challenges that have slowed the 
expenditure of funds, the agreement strongly encourages the 
Department to extend the time grantees awarded funds in 2018 
currently have to expend funds, as applicable, consistent with 
the terms of section 21208(b) of such Act.
    Disclosures of Foreign Gifts and Contracts.--The agreement 
notes that section 117 of the HEA requires IHEs to disclose 
certain gifts from or contracts with foreign entities and that 
the Department makes such information publicly available on its 
website. Such disclosures are critical to ensure adequate 
oversight and transparency. The agreement directs the 
Department to engage with IHEs to ensure requirements under 
section 117 are clear and to provide guidance to IHEs to ensure 
they are aware of their responsibilities. As the Department 
provides guidance on this issue or modifies reporting methods 
or requirements, IHEs should be given adequate time to ensure 
proper reporting. The Department should brief the Committees 
within 45 days of enactment of this Act on efforts to engage 
with the stakeholder community, efforts to provide greater 
guidance and clarity on reporting requirements, and any 
additional information on agency efforts to comply with such 
section.
    Diverse Geographical Distribution of Grants.--The 
Department is encouraged to continue efforts to ensure that 
competitive grants are distributed among eligible entities that 
serve geographically diverse areas, including urban, suburban, 
and rural areas. It is critical that support and solutions 
developed with Federal funding are relevant to and available in 
all areas consistent with authorizations of Federal programs.
    Evidence-Based Grant Making.--The Secretary should use 
demonstrated evidence of effectiveness as part of the selection 
criteria through its Education Department General 
Administrative Regulations, consistent with authorizations, for 
all competitive grant programs. Non-competitive formula grant 
funds have a range of evidence requirements and preferences 
which the Department is directed to support through 
enhancements to its technical assistance and support 
activities.
    Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking.--Faithful 
execution of the Foundations for Evidence-based Policymaking 
Act will enhance the evidence-building capacity of Federal 
agencies, strengthen privacy protections, improve secure access 
to data, and ultimately provide more and higher quality 
evidence to policymakers. The Department shall provide updates 
on its implementation of the law and plans for the coming year 
in its next and subsequent Congressional Justifications.
    GAO Report on Teacher Shortages.--The agreement requests 
GAO provide a report to the Committees on trends and factors 
contributing to school districts' challenges with teacher 
recruitment and retention. The report should include a review 
and analysis of challenges recruiting and retaining special 
education teachers, paraprofessionals, and teacher aides; the 
extent to which licensure requirements are waived or modified 
to address shortages; and geographic and demographic 
characteristics of districts facing the greatest challenges or 
shortages, including rural and urban areas. The report shall 
examine ways to improve the effectiveness of current Federal 
policy in preventing and responding to teacher shortages as 
well as make recommendations on potential Federal interventions 
to improve teacher recruitment and retention.
    Human Resources.--The agreement is concerned about the 
full-time equivalent employment differences between the 
Department's Congressional Justifications and actual on-board 
staffing reports. The agreement notes an increase in the number 
of separations and hiring challenges at the Department. The 
agreement requests an update in the fiscal year 2021 
Congressional Justification on the activities the Department 
has undertaken or will undertake to ensure adequate staffing 
levels are achieved for the Department to meet its obligations. 
The Committees request periodic updates on this effort.
    Seclusion and Restraint Data.--The agreement strongly urges 
the Assistant Secretary for the Office for Civil Rights to take 
immediate steps in the ongoing 2017-2018 CRDC to improve the 
accuracy of the data, to remind and clarify for all schools and 
school districts to only report zero incidents of seclusion and 
restraint when no incidents have occurred, to leave cells blank 
for missing or incomplete data, and to contact schools and 
school districts that already submitted data for the 2017-2018 
CRDC and verify the accuracy of the data. Finally, the 
agreement strongly urges the Assistant Secretary to monitor 
compliance with action plan requirements for missing data, and 
ensure plans are submitted and address all missing data. The 
agreement requests an update on these efforts in the fiscal 
year 2021 Congressional Justification.

                           General Provisions

    The agreement continues authority for pooled evaluation 
authority.
    The agreement modifies a provision regarding endowment 
income.
    The agreement continues authority for the National Advisory 
Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity.
    The agreement continues authority for account maintenance 
fees.
    The agreement modifies a provision rescinding unobligated 
discretionary balances previously appropriated for the Pell 
grant program.
    The agreement modifies a provision rescinding fiscal year 
2020 mandatory funding to offset the mandatory costs of 
increasing the discretionary Pell award.
    The agreement includes a new provision modifying the name 
of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program.
    The agreement includes a new provision modifying existing 
authority relating to cohort default rates for a period of two 
years.
    The agreement includes a new provision related to the 
Department of Education Organization Act.
    The agreement modifies a provision related to loan 
forgiveness opportunities for borrowers.

                                TITLE IV


                            RELATED AGENCIES


 Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled

    The agreement includes an additional $1,350,000 for the 
one-time costs associated with a move of the headquarters 
office.

         Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)


                           OPERATING EXPENSES

    Innovation, Assistance, and Other Activities.--The 
agreement includes $9,600,000 for innovation, assistance, and 
other activities. The agreement includes $6,400,000 for the 
Volunteer Generation Fund, $2,100,000 for the September 11th 
National Day of Service and Remembrance and $1,100,000 for the 
Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service.
    Commission Investment Fund.--The agreement includes no less 
than $8,500,000.
    Fixed Amount Grants.--CNCS is encouraged to expand 
opportunities for AmeriCorps programs to utilize fixed amount 
grants, which could reduce unnecessary administrative burdens 
on current and potential AmeriCorps programs. Further, CNCS is 
encouraged to increase the current maximum cost per member 
service year of fixed amount grants to make it more comparable 
to cost reimbursement grant levels and allow new AmeriCorps 
programs to be eligible to apply for full-time fixed amount 
grants, while also ensuring that fixed amount grantees provide 
a comparable amount of matching funds and that there is 
sufficient oversight and accountability of fixed amount 
grantees.
    Professional Corps.--CNCS is directed to include a 
determination of need by the local community among the factors 
that a professional corps program may use to demonstrate an 
inadequate number of professionals in a community. Further, 
CNCS is strongly encouraged to increase the maximum amount of 
operating funds per member service year a professional corps 
program may request as part of their grant application. 
Finally, CNCS is directed to provide professional corps 
programs flexibility in justifying the need for operating funds 
to ensure that these programs are able to provide high-quality 
services in all communities.
    Transformation and Sustainability Plan.--There is concern 
with CNCS' transformation and sustainability plan (TSP), 
particularly related to moving from a State office to regional 
office structure. CNCS is directed to ensure that TSP does not 
create degradation in services, technical assistance, or 
support for local community service programs, particularly 
those operating in under-served and rural areas, and to provide 
periodic briefings to the Committees on steps taken to ensure 
that service is maintained. Further, the CNCS is directed to 
provide a report within 30 days of enactment of this Act to the 
Committees. Such report should contain information on the 
metrics used and factors considered in determining the new 
regions and the location of regional offices; a complete 
analysis of all costs and savings associated with the 
transition to regional offices, including any increased travel 
or training costs; a description of other field structures 
considered; and a detailed response to each of the risk factors 
identified by the OIG. Finally, CNCS is encouraged to evaluate 
and consider adding additional regional offices as appropriate 
if it is determined that offices would enhance support for 
local community service programs.

               Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)

    The bill removes unnecessary language related to the 
Television Future Fund as no such fund exists. All operation of 
the Television Future Fund ceased after a 2004 GAO report 
titled ``Issues Related to Federal Funding for Public 
Television by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting'' (GAO-
04-284) determined activities were done in an unauthorized 
manner. The agreement expects CPB to fully comply with all 
statutory requirements for the allocation and distribution of 
appropriated funds.

                Institute of Museum and Library Services

    Within the total for the Institute of Museum and Library 
Services, the agreement includes funds for the following 
activities:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC)

    Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT).--Within the 
amount provided, the agreement provides $300,000 for MACPAC to 
examine, to the extent data are available, the benefits of NEMT 
from State Medicaid programs on Medicaid beneficiaries, 
including beneficiaries with chronic diseases including end 
stage renal disease (ESRD), substance abuse disorders, pregnant 
mothers, and patients living in remote, rural areas, and to 
examine the benefits of improving local coordination of NEMT 
with public transportation and other Federally-assisted 
transportation services. The agreement directs HHS to take no 
regulatory action on availability of NEMT service until the 
study is completed.

                 National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)

    The agreement notes concern regarding NLRB personnel and 
obligation practices. Such practices have contributed to 
significant underspending on personnel costs. As a result of 
these practices, NLRB has had higher than historical funding 
lapses for the past two fiscal years. The October 2019 
Inspector General ``Top Management and Performance Challenges'' 
memorandum included in NLRB fiscal year 2019 Performance and 
Accountability Report identifies NLRB's current methodology for 
determining the workforce capacity needed to process cases as a 
key challenge to the Board's ability to ensure the quality of 
its investigative work product and maintain a highly motivated 
workforce.
    The agreement directs NLRB to address this challenge by 
posting position openings to restore critical field staff 
capacity and to more aggressively fill vacancies in fiscal year 
2020, including the remaining open regional director positions. 
To ensure NLRB makes progress toward addressing this issue, the 
agreement directs the Board to expand the number of regional 
full-time equivalent staff beyond the amount on-board at the 
end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019. Within 90 days 
of enactment of this Act, NLRB is directed to brief the 
Committees on its plans for addressing these critical hiring 
challenges.
    Further, NLRB is directed to submit a report to the 
Committees within 90 days of enactment of this Act detailing 
the resources dedicated to regional offices. Such report should 
include actual and planned data, as applicable, for fiscal 
years 2011 through 2021: (1) the number of employees stationed 
in each regional office and (2) administrative expenses by 
object class for each regional office. In addition, the 
agreement directs the Board to provide monthly staffing reports 
to the Committees. Such staffing reports should include the 
total number of employees in each position for each regional 
office, attrition for each office, new hires for each office, 
and any information on plans to incentivize or encourage 
employee separations.

                       Railroad Retirement Board


                      LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATION

    The agreement includes $10,000,000 for the implementation 
of information technology systems modernization efforts.
    GAO Review.--The agreement requests GAO conduct a 
management review of the Railroad Retirement Board, including, 
financial management practices, regional office structure and 
workforce planning needs, oversight of programs, and any other 
matters GAO considers relevant.

                  Social Security Administration (SSA)


                 LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

    The agreement includes an increase of $100,000,000 for 
SSA's base administrative expenses for additional hires and 
resources to improve public service at SSA field offices and 
direct service operations.
    Continuing Disability Reviews.--The agreement directs SSA 
to include in its next continuing disability review (CDR) 
report to Congress an evaluation of its CDR prioritization 
models and a cost-benefit analysis of how it uses estimated 
savings in determining which beneficiaries receive a full-
medical CDR. Additionally, the agreement requests in the fiscal 
year 2021 Congressional Justification, the process by which SSA 
intends to pace its CDR workload to properly manage Limitation 
on Administrative Expenses funding.
    Disability Case Processing System (DCPS).--SSA is 
encouraged to engage with States to explore all possible 
options for modernization of the case processing system, to 
align with the needs of each State, so long as such options 
have similar or better functionality as DCPS, similar or lower 
costs to DCPS, and are consistent with Federal procurement and 
security standards. SSA should continue to provide regular 
updates on the effort to upgrade DCPS, including the cost and 
anticipated timeline of the project, and efforts by SSA to 
engage stakeholders, including any barriers to implementation.
    Disability Hearings Backlog.--The agreement encourages SSA 
to include comprehensive information in its existing reports to 
Congress on the specific policies SSA has implemented, or has 
considered, to streamline the disability determination and 
adjudication process. When considering or implementing changes, 
SSA should ensure due process, and that applicants have a full 
and adequate opportunity to present their claims.
    Field Office Closures.--While SSA's Inspector General 
reviews decisions to close field offices, the Commissioner is 
strongly encouraged to take every action possible to maintain 
operations at the offices under review. SSA is expected to 
support front line operations. As part of the fiscal year 2021 
Congressional Justification, SSA should include a plan to 
identify opportunities for improved field office operations. 
Finally, SSA is strongly encouraged to ensure its policies and 
procedures for closing field offices include at least 120 days 
advance notice to the public, SSA employees, Congress, and 
other stakeholders. Such notice should include a rationale for 
the proposed closure and an evaluation of the effects on the 
public and SSA operations.
    Mail and Printing Systems.--SSA is encouraged to consider 
and evaluate modernization of its mail and printing systems and 
contracts that could result in budgetary savings while 
improving fraud prevention. The agreement requests a briefing 
for the Committees within 180 days of enactment of this Act on 
current mailing and printing systems and contracts, including 
systems or contracts relating to Social Security Cards, and any 
ongoing efforts to modernize or otherwise improve such systems.
    Medical Vocational Guidelines.--The agreement directs SSA 
to provide a report to the Committees within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act on its plan and timetable for updating 
and modernizing medical vocational guidelines and to engage 
appropriate Committees of jurisdiction prior to making any 
changes to such guidelines.
    Telework.--SSA is urged to develop a telework plan for 
Operations employees as quickly as practicable and to brief the 
Committees on the status of efforts to reinstate telework 
within 60 days of enactment of this Act.
    Video Hearings.--The agreement reiterates the language 
included under this heading in House Report 116-62, and directs 
SSA to provide an update in the fiscal year 2021 Congressional 
Justification detailing the extent to which SSA meets best 
practices outlined by the Administrative Conference of the 
U.S., and the extent to which SSA video hearings, policies, and 
practices are accessible to individuals with disabilities.
    Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) and 
Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security 
(PABSS).--The agreement includes $23,000,000 for WIPA and 
$7,000,000 for PABSS.

                                TITLE V


                           General Provisions

non-competitive contracts, grants and cooperative agreements.
    The agreement modifies a provision related to Performance 
Partnerships.
    The agreement includes a new provision related to grant 
notifications.
    The agreement includes a new provision related to questions 
for the record.
    The agreement includes a provision rescinding various 
unobligated balances.

    [Clerk's note.--Reproduced below is the material relating 
to division B contained in the Explanatory Statement regarding 
H.R. 1865, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2020.\1\]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on
December 17, 2019 by Mrs. Lowey of New York, Chairwoman of the House 
Committee on Appropriations. The Statement appears on page H11162 of 
Book III.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

       DIVISION B--AGRICULTURE, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, FOOD AND DRUG 
     ADMINISTRATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2020


                        CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTIVES

    The statement is silent on provisions that were in both the 
House Report (H. Rpt. 116-107) and Senate Report (S. Rpt. 116-
110) that remain unchanged by this agreement, except as noted 
in this statement.
    The House and Senate report language that is not changed by 
the statement is approved and indicates congressional 
intentions. The 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 `the 
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 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, 2020, accompanying Committee reports, 
explanatory statements, 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 2020, 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 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 
February 1, 2020. The agreement also directs the Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission 
(CFTC), and the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) to provide an 
organizational chart of each agency respectively to the 
division and subdivision level, as appropriate, by February 1, 
2020.
    Further, USDA, FDA, and CFTC should be mindful of 
Congressional authority to determine and set final funding 
levels for fiscal year 2021. Therefore, the agencies should not 
presuppose program funding outcomes and prematurely initiate 
action to redirect staffing prior to knowing final outcomes on 
fiscal year 2021 program funding. The 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.

                                TITLE I


                         AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMS


                   Processing, Research and Marketing


                        Office Of The Secretary


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $46,139,000 for the Office of the 
Secretary.
    The agreement is concerned with the number of staff 
vacancies within USDA. While funding levels continue to 
increase for many agencies, staffing levels continue to 
decline. Within 180 days after enactment, the Secretary shall 
provide detailed staffing levels for all research agencies, the 
Farm Service Agency, all marketing agencies, Rural Development, 
the Food and Nutrition Service, and the Foreign Agricultural 
Service. The report shall include all vacancies that have 
remained unfilled for more than six months and detailed plans 
to fill those vacancies. The report shall also include for each 
agency, the number of fulltime equivalent (FTE) staff utilized 
and the number of vacancies for fiscal years 2015 through 2019.
    The agreement notes the ongoing contract negotiations 
between West Coast grain terminal operators and the 
International Longshore and Warehouse Union and recognizes the 
importance of reaching an agreement that works for both 
parties. A failure to reach an agreement could result in an 
interruption in grain terminal service that would negatively 
impact the nation's grain exports. The agreement urges all 
parties to continue negotiating in good faith to ensure an 
equitable outcome for both grain terminal operators and their 
workers is expeditiously reached.
    The agreement directs the Secretary to submit a report that 
describes the economic and environmental impacts of importing 
orchids in growing media. The report shall include: a 
description of the economic impact of importing orchids in 
growing media on a state-by-state basis, with data collected 
from local growers; any incidents of pests detected on orchids 
imported with growing media; and an analysis with respect to 
additional resources that are necessary to prevent and mitigate 
the introduction of pests resulting from importing orchids in 
growing media.
    The agreement directs the Secretary to preserve the term 
``climate change'' in any publication where scientifically 
appropriate.
    In addition to updates provided to the Committees, the 
Department is directed to include in its fiscal year 2021 
Congressional Justification, as a single exhibit, a table 
listing all deliverables, with a column for due dates if 
applicable.
    The Department is reminded 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 agreement recognizes the important role of the Forest 
Service Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers and directs the 
Secretary to continue the program as currently structured.
    The Department is directed to treat crop losses due to 
freeze as losses resulting from snowstorms and therefore 
eligible for WHIP+ payments.
    The following table reflects the agreement:

    The agreement recognizes the Farm and Production 
Conservation (FPAC) Business Center was created with the goal 
of consolidating administrative functions. The agreement 
directs the Secretary to report to the Committees, within 60 
days of enactment, on what efficiencies have been gained, by 
which metrics the Business Center is being measured, how the 
Business Center will accelerate hiring going forward, and any 
existing plans for additional reorganizations of staff into the

for IT improvements.
    The agreement acknowledges the Department met the FSA 
Workload Study as directed by House Report 114-205 through the 
Optimally Productive Office (OPO) Study. The OPO provides 
FPAC's frontline leaders with a set of tools that enables them 
to better manage field capacity by focusing on both level and 
distribution of staff as well as location of offices by using 
data-driven methods. At this time, as the Committees continue 
to analyze the results of the OPO Study, the agreement 
continues language preventing the closure of FSA county 
offices.

for losses due to disease, or other factors as determined by 
the Secretary. The agreement directs FSA within 180 days of 
enactment to amend the existing regulations under 7 C.F.R. 1416 
to ensure producers of farm-raised fish intended for human 
consumption are eligible to receive payments for death losses 
due to disease or avian predation.
    The agreement directs FSA to work with ranchers to tailor 
the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) to address unique 
circumstances, such as panther and bald eagle depredation, 
which are currently preventing producers from receiving 
compensation for losses.

    The agreement provides $6,000,000,000 for the Special 
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and

    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 agreement notes, however, that while all 
revised packages now allow some fish, the amounts remain low 
compared to the recommendations of other authoritative health 
agencies. The agreement strongly encourages 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 agreement also strongly 
encourages 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.

                   TITLE I--CORPS OF ENGINEERS--CIVIL


                         DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY


                       Corps of Engineers--Civil

    The summary tables included in this title set forth the 
dispositions with respect to the individual appropriations, 
projects, and activities of the Corps of Engineers (Corps). 
Additional items of this Act are discussed below.
    Asian Carp.--The agreement acknowledges that the Corps 
completed the Report of the Chief of Engineers for the Great 
Lakes--Mississippi River Interbasin Study--Brandon Road 
Recommended Plan in fiscal year 2019. As the Corps prioritizes 
projects, it shall consider critical projects to prevent the 
spread of invasive species. The Corps is reminded that this 
critical project is eligible to compete for additional funding 
within the Investigations account in order to initiate 
Planning, Engineering, and Design (PED). The Corps is directed 
to provide to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 
of Congress quarterly updates on the progress and status of 
efforts to prevent the further spread of Asian carp, including 
the Brandon Road Recommended Plan, the location and density of 
carp populations, the use of emergency procedures previously 
authorized by Congress, and the development, consideration, and 
implementation of new technological and structural 
countermeasures.
    There is disappointment that the administration chose to 
cut Corps funding for the important inter-agency collaborative 
work to address Asian carp. The Corps shall continue to 
collaborate at levels commensurate with previous years with the 
U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the State 
of Illinois, and members of the Asian Carp Regional 
Coordinating Committee, including identifying navigation 
protocols that would be beneficial or effective in reducing the 
risk of vessels inadvertently carrying aquatic invasive 
species, including Asian carp, through the Brandon Road Lock 
and Dam in Joliet, Illinois. Any findings of such an evaluation 
shall be included in the quarterly briefings to the Committees 
on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. The Corps is 
further directed to implement navigation protocols shown to be 
effective at reducing the risk of entrainment without 
jeopardizing the safety of vessels and crews. The Corps and 
other federal and state agencies are conducting ongoing 
research on potential solutions. The Corps shall brief the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on such 
navigation protocols and potential solutions not later than 30 
days after enactment of this Act.
    Budget Structure Changes.--The agreement includes House and 
Senate language regarding budget structure changes.
    Inland Waterways System.--The agreement includes House and 
Senate language.
    Regional Dredge Demonstration Program.--To respond more 
effectively to critical national dredging requirements 
resulting from significant recurring storm events, in 
combination with routine annual dredging demands, the agreement 
directs the Corps to execute a multi-year dredging 
demonstration program within the Central Gulf Coast Region.
    Key features of the program will explore innovative ways of 
executing dredging in a logical, sequenced manner, 
unconstrained by more traditional project-specific, account-
specific, or single-year practices and seek efficiencies and 
cost savings by evaluating the region as a system to determine 
when combining work across multiple deep draft commercial 
navigation projects, across years, or across Construction and 
Operation and Maintenance accounts is appropriate. By including 
the Mississippi River Baton Rouge to the Gulf of Mexico 
(Southwest Pass) and other nearby Gulf Coast commercial 
navigation projects, the goals of the program are to include 
being more responsive to dredging demands within the region, 
while minimizing disruption to critical construction and 
maintenance dredging requirements enterprise-wide.
    To demonstrate the described multi-year efficiencies, the 
agreement includes $377,650,000 in a Regional Dredge 
Demonstration Program funding line item in the Construction 
account to be used for deep draft navigation projects in the 
Gulf of Mexico between Louisiana and Alabama within the 
Mississippi Valley Division and the South Atlantic Division 
Civil Works boundaries. The Corps shall select one deepening 
project in each eligible state for inclusion in the 
demonstration program. Projects that have previously received 
funding from the Construction account and require no new 
authorization shall be eligible for inclusion in the 
demonstration program. Consequently, such projects shall be 
considered ongoing and shall not require a new start 
designation. The agreement includes additional funding in the 
Operation and Maintenance account to support this demonstration 
program. Operation and Maintenance projects eligible for 
inclusion in the demonstration program may include Gulf of 
Mexico states between Florida and Texas, where appropriate. The 
agreement also includes Senate briefing and reporting 
requirements.

                           Additional Funding

    The agreement includes funding above the budget request to 
ensure continued improvements to our national economy, public 
safety, and environmental health that result from water 
resources projects. This funding is for additional work that 
either was not included in the budget request or was 
inadequately budgeted. The bill contains a provision requiring 
the Corps to allocate funds in accordance with only the 
direction in this agreement. In lieu of all House and Senate 
direction--under any heading--regarding additional funding, new 
starts, and the fiscal year 2020 work plan, the Corps shall 
follow the direction included in this explanatory statement.
    The executive branch retains complete discretion over 
project-specific allocation decisions within the additional 
funds provided, subject to only the direction here and under 
the heading ``Additional Funding'' or ``Additional Funding for 
Ongoing Work'' within each of the Investigations, Construction, 
Mississippi River and Tributaries, and Operation and 
Maintenance accounts. A study or project may not be excluded 
from evaluation for being ``inconsistent with administration 
policy.'' Voluntary funding in excess of legally-required cost 
shares for studies and projects is acceptable, but shall not be 
used as a criterion for allocating the additional funding 
provided or for the selection of new starts.
    The administration is reminded that these funds are in 
addition to the budget request, and administration budget 
metrics shall not be a reason to disqualify a study or project 
from being funded. It is expected that all of the additional 
funding provided will be allocated to specific programs, 
projects, or activities. The focus of the allocation process 
shall favor the obligation, rather than expenditure, of funds.
    The Corps shall evaluate all studies and projects only 
within accounts and categories consistent with previous 
congressional funding. When allocating the additional funding 
provided in this Act, the Corps shall consider eligibility and 
implementation decisions under Public Law 115-123 and Public 
Law 116-20 so as to maximize the reduction of risk to public 
safety and infrastructure and the reduction of future damages 
from floods and storms nationwide.
    A project or study shall be eligible for additional funding 
within the Investigations, Construction, and Mississippi River 
and Tributaries accounts if: (1) it has received funding, other 
than through a reprogramming, in at least one of the previous 
three fiscal years; (2) it was previously funded and could 
reach a significant milestone, complete a discrete element of 
work, or produce significant outputs in calendar year 2020; or 
(3) as appropriate, it is selected as one of the new starts 
allowed in accordance with this Act and the additional 
direction provided below. None of the additional funding in any 
account may be used for any item where funding was specifically 
denied or for projects in the Continuing Authorities Program. 
Funds shall be allocated consistent with statutory cost share 
requirements.
    Work Plan.--Not later than 60 days after enactment of this 
Act, the Corps shall provide to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a work plan including 
the following information: (1) a detailed description of the 
process and criteria used to evaluate studies and projects; (2) 
delineation of how these funds are to be allocated; (3) a 
summary of the work to be accomplished with each allocation, 
including phase of work and the study or project's remaining 
cost to complete (excluding Operation and Maintenance); and (4) 
a list of all studies and projects that were considered 
eligible for funding but did not receive funding, including an 
explanation of whether the study or project could have used 
funds in calendar year 2020 and the specific reasons each study 
or project was considered as being less competitive for an 
allocation of funds.
    New Starts.--The agreement includes six new starts in the 
Investigations account and six new starts in the Construction 
account to be distributed across the authorized mission areas 
of the Corps.
    Of the new starts in Investigations, one shall be for an 
environmental restoration study; one shall be for a multi-
purpose watershed study to address coastal resiliency; one 
shall be for a flood and storm damage reduction study; one 
shall be for a flood and storm damage reduction study or 
environmental restoration study; and two shall be for 
navigation studies. Of the two navigation study starts, one may 
be for a Small, Remote or Subsistence Harbor navigation study. 
Of the new construction starts, two shall be for navigation 
projects; two shall be for environmental restoration projects, 
of which one shall be for the new project start requested by 
the administration pursuant to the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget 
amendments transmitted to Congress on May 13, 2019; and two 
shall be for flood and storm damage reduction, environmental 
restoration, or multi-purpose projects. No funding shall be 
used to initiate new programs, projects, or activities in the 
Mississippi River and Tributaries or Operation and Maintenance 
accounts.
    The Corps is directed to propose a single group of new 
starts as a part of the work plan. None of the funds may be 
used for any item for which the agreement has specifically 
denied funding. The Corps may not change or substitute the new 
starts selected once the work plan has been provided to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. Each 
new start shall be funded from the appropriate additional 
funding line item. Any project for which the new start 
requirements are not met by the end of calendar year 2020 shall 
be treated as if the project had not been selected as a new 
start; such a project shall be required to compete again for 
new start funding in future years. As all new starts are to be 
chosen by the Corps, all shall be considered of equal 
importance, and the expectation is that future budget 
submissions will include appropriate funding for all new starts 
selected.
    There continues to be confusion regarding the executive 
branch's policies and guidelines regarding which studies and 
projects require new start designations. Therefore, the Corps 
is directed to notify the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress at least seven days prior to execution of an 
agreement for construction of any project except environmental 
infrastructure projects and projects under the Continuing 
Authorities Program. Additionally, the agreement reiterates and 
clarifies previous congressional direction as follows. Neither 
study nor construction activities related to individual 
projects authorized under section 1037 of the Water Resources 
Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) of 2014 shall require a new 
start or new investment decision; these activities shall be 
considered ongoing work. No new start or new investment 
decision shall be required when moving from feasibility to PED. 
A new start designation shall be required to initiate 
construction of individually-authorized projects funded within 
programmatic line items. No new start or new investment 
decision shall be required to initiate work on a separable 
element of a project when construction of one or more separable 
elements of that project was initiated previously; it shall be 
considered ongoing work. A new construction start shall not be 
required for work undertaken to correct a design deficiency on 
an existing federal project; it shall be considered ongoing 
work. The Corps is reminded that resumptions are just that--
resumption of previously-initiated studies or projects and, as 
such, do not require new start designations.
    In addition to the priority factors used to allocate all 
additional funding provided in the Investigations account, the 
Corps should give careful consideration to the out-year budget 
impacts of the studies selected and to whether there appears to 
be an identifiable local sponsor that will be ready and able to 
provide, in a timely manner, the necessary cost share for the 
feasibility and PED phases. The Corps is reminded that the 
flood and storm damage reduction mission area can include 
instances where non-federal sponsors are seeking assistance 
with flood control and unauthorized discharges from permitted 
wastewater treatment facilities and that the navigation mission 
area includes work in remote and subsistence harbor areas. 
Within the flood and storm damage reduction mission, the Corps 
is urged to strive for an appropriate balance between inland 
and coastal projects.
    In addition to the priority factors used to allocate all 
additional funding provided in the Construction account, the 
Corps also shall consider the out-year budget impacts of the 
selected new starts, the cost sharing sponsor's ability and 
willingness to promptly provide the cash contribution, if any, 
as well as required lands, easements, rights-of-way, 
relocations, and disposal areas. When considering new 
construction starts, only those that can execute a project cost 
sharing agreement not later than December 31, 2020, shall be 
chosen.
    To ensure that the new construction starts are affordable 
and will not unduly delay completion of any ongoing projects, 
the Secretary is required to submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a realistic out-year 
budget scenario prior to issuing a work allowance for a new 
start. It is understood that specific budget decisions are made 
on an annual basis and that this scenario is neither a request 
for nor a guarantee of future funding for any project. 
Nonetheless, this scenario shall include an estimate of annual 
funding for each new start utilizing a realistic funding 
scenario through completion of the project, as well as the 
specific impacts of that estimated funding on the ability of 
the Corps to make continued progress on each previously funded 
construction project, including impacts to the optimum timeline 
and funding requirements of the ongoing projects, and on the 
ability to consider initiating new projects in the future. The 
scenario shall assume a Construction account funding level at 
the average of the past three budget requests.

                             INVESTIGATIONS

    The agreement includes $151,000,000 for Investigations. The 
agreement includes legislative language regarding parameters 
for new study starts.
    The allocation for projects and activities within the 
Investigations account is shown in the following table:


              [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]


    Additional Funding.--The Corps is expected to allocate the 
additional funding provided in this account primarily to 
specific feasibility and PED phases, rather than to Remaining 
Items line items as has been the case in previous work plans.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
environmental restoration or compliance, the Corps shall 
allocate not less than $9,782,000 for ecosystem restoration 
projects in the PED phase that have been funded within the last 
three years.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
environmental restoration or compliance and other authorized 
project purposes, the Corps shall allocate not less than 
$2,000,000 for ecosystem restoration projects that are 
modifications to flood protection project authorizations to 
address degraded conditions due to prior flood protection work. 
Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
environmental restoration or compliance and other authorized 
project purposes, the Corps shall allocate not less than 
$200,000 to PED activities for ecosystem restoration projects 
that also provide additional flood storage capacity by 
restoring the natural habitat.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
flood and storm damage reduction and flood control, the Corps 
shall allocate not less than $1,500,000 for PED for projects 
that are located in economically-disadvantaged communities 
where per capita income is less than half of the state and 
national averages and that have previously experienced loss of 
life due to flooding.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
shore protection, the Corps shall allocate not less than 
$905,000 for the PED phase of beach renourishment projects that 
have been authorized by Congress for construction.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account, the 
Corps shall allocate not less than $10,380,000 for multipurpose 
projects in the PED phase that have been funded within the last 
three years.
    When allocating the additional funding provided in this 
account, the Corps shall consider giving priority to completing 
or accelerating ongoing studies or to initiating new studies 
that will enhance the nation's economic development, job 
growth, and international competitiveness; are for projects 
located in areas that have suffered recent natural disasters; 
are for projects that protect life and property; are for 
projects to restore floodplain and aquatic habitat through 
cost-effective and tested means; or are for projects to address 
legal requirements. The Corps shall use these funds for 
additional work in both the feasibility and PED phases. The 
agreement includes sufficient additional funding to undertake a 
significant amount of feasibility and PED work. The 
administration is reminded that a project study is not complete 
until the PED phase is complete. The Corps is reminded that the 
updating of economic analyses and economic impact studies are 
eligible to receive additional funding.
    Principles, Requirements, and Guidelines.--Not later than 
60 days after enactment of this Act, the Corps shall brief the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the 
efforts necessary to develop implementation rules and 
guidelines for the final Principles, Requirements, and 
Guidelines for Federal Investments in Water Resources released 
in March 2013 and the final Interagency Guidelines released in 
December 2014. The Corps shall include in this briefing a 
timeline for completion of the implementation rules and 
guidelines, how the Corps' ongoing planning efforts would be 
impacted by implementation, impacts to funding prioritization, 
and any challenges associated with the development and 
implementation of such rules and guidelines. The Corps is urged 
to prioritize these efforts.

                              CONSTRUCTION

    The agreement includes $2,681,000,000 for Construction. The 
agreement includes legislative language regarding Chickamauga 
Lock, Tennessee River, Tennessee. The agreement includes 
legislative language regarding parameters for new construction 
starts.
    The allocation for projects and activities within the 
Construction account is shown in the following table:


              [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]


    Updated Capability.--The agreement adjusts some project-
specific allocations downward from the budget request based on 
updated information regarding the amount of work that could be 
accomplished in fiscal year 2020.
    Additional Funding.--The agreement includes additional 
funds for projects and activities to enhance the nation's 
economic growth and international competitiveness.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
flood control, the Corps shall allocate not less than 
$20,000,000 to undertake studies and recommendations for 
construction resulting from a Dam Safety Modification Report 
completed under section 1177 of the WIIN Act (Public Law 114-
322), as amended. Of the additional funding provided in this 
account for flood and storm damage reduction and flood control, 
the Corps shall allocate not less than $20,000,000 to 
additional nonstructural flood control projects. Of the 
additional funding provided in this account for flood and storm 
damage reduction and flood control, the Corps shall allocate 
not less than $25,000,000 to continue construction of projects 
that principally address drainage in urban areas.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
navigation and other authorized project purposes, the Corps 
shall allocate not less than $50,000,000 to continue activities 
to construct new navigation infrastructure for locks and Corps-
owned bridges not on the inland waterways system.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
environmental restoration or compliance and other authorized 
project purposes, the Corps shall allocate not less than 
$25,000,000 for multistate ecosystem restoration programs for 
which a comprehensive restoration plan is in development or has 
been completed, of which not less than $5,000,000 shall be for 
projects or programs that restore and rehabilitate native 
oyster reefs.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
environmental restoration or compliance and other authorized 
project purposes, the Corps shall allocate not less than 
$28,000,000 for ecosystem restoration projects that have 
incidental flood risk management benefits.
    Of the additional funds provided in this account for flood 
and storm damage reduction, navigation, and other authorized 
project purposes, the Corps shall allocate not less than 
$35,000,000 to authorized reimbursements for projects with 
executed project cooperation agreements and that have completed 
construction or where non-federal sponsors intend to use the 
funds for additional water resources development activities.
    Of the additional funds provided in this account, the Corps 
shall allocate not less than $40,588,000 to projects with 
riverfront development components.
    Public Law 115-123 and Public Law 116-20 included funding 
within the Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies account to 
restore authorized shore protection projects to full project 
profile. That funding is expected to address most of the 
current year capability. Therefore, to ensure funding is not 
directed to where it cannot be used, the agreement includes 
$50,165,000 for construction of shore protection projects. The 
Corps is reminded that if additional work can be done, these 
projects are also eligible to compete for additional funding 
for flood and storm damage reduction.
    When allocating the additional funding provided in this 
account, the Corps is encouraged to evaluate authorized 
reimbursements in the same manner as if the projects were being 
evaluated for new or ongoing construction. The Corps shall not 
condition these funds, or any funds appropriated in this Act, 
on a non-federal interest paying more than their required share 
in any phase of a project. When allocating the additional 
funding provided in this account, the Corps shall consider 
giving priority to the following:
    1. benefits of the funded work to the national economy;
    2. extent to which the work will enhance national, 
regional, or local economic development;
    3. number of jobs created directly and supported in the 
supply chain by the funded activity;
    4. significance to national security, including the 
strategic significance of commodities;
    5. ability to obligate the funds allocated within the 
calendar year, including consideration of the ability of the 
non-federal sponsor to provide any required cost share;
    6. ability to complete the project, separable element, or 
project phase with the funds allocated;
    7. legal requirements, including responsibilities to 
Tribes;
    8. for flood and storm damage reduction projects (including 
authorized nonstructural measures and periodic beach 
renourishments),
    a. population, economic activity, or public infrastructure 
at risk, as appropriate;
    b. the severity of risk of flooding or the frequency with 
which an area has experienced flooding; and
    c. preservation of historically significant communities, 
culture, and heritage;
    9. for shore protection projects, projects in areas that 
have suffered severe beach erosion requiring additional sand 
placement outside of the normal beach renourishment cycle or in 
which the normal beach renourishment cycle has been delayed, 
and projects in areas where there is risk of environmental 
contamination;
    10. for navigation projects, the number of jobs or level of 
economic activity to be supported by completion of the project, 
separable element, or project phase;
    11. for projects cost shared with the Inland Waterways 
Trust Fund (IWTF), the economic impact on the local, regional, 
and national economy if the project is not funded, as well as 
discrete elements of work that can be completed within the 
funding provided in this line item;
    12. for other authorized project purposes and environmental 
restoration or compliance projects, to include the beneficial 
use of dredged material; and
    13. for environmental infrastructure, projects with the 
greater economic impact, projects in rural communities, 
projects in communities with significant shoreline and 
instances of runoff, projects in or that benefit counties or 
parishes with high poverty rates, projects in financially-
distressed municipalities, projects that improve stormwater 
capture capabilities, projects that provide backup raw water 
supply in the event of an emergency, and projects that will 
provide substantial benefits to water quality improvements.
    The following is the only direction with regard to the 
availability of additional funds for IWTF cost-shared projects. 
The agreement provides funds making use of all estimated annual 
revenues and some additional prior year revenues in the IWTF 
for ongoing projects. The agreement includes a total 
appropriation of $131,075,000 from the IWTF. The Corps shall 
continue to use, as appropriate, the Inland and Intracoastal 
Waterways Twenty-Year Capital Investment Strategy dated March 
2016, as the applicable 20-year plan. The agreement considers 
the 20-year Capital Investment Strategy a planning document and 
therefore not subject to administration budget metrics. The 
Corps shall allocate all funds provided in the IWTF Revenues 
line item along with the statutory cost share from funds 
provided in the Navigation line item prior to allocating the 
remainder of funds in the Navigation line item.
    It is understood that the Corps is developing metrics for 
prioritization of environmental infrastructure projects. The 
Corps is directed to provide to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress not later than 120 
days after enactment of this Act a briefing on these metrics. 
Notwithstanding the direction on new starts in the front matter 
of Title I, the Corps may allocate funds to at least one, but 
not more than two environmental infrastructure authorities not 
previously funded, which may include regional environmental 
infrastructure authorities. The Corps shall consider the 
impacts of future funding when selecting these projects.
    Alternative Delivery.--The Corps is reminded that Public-
Private Partnerships and projects that utilize a split-delivery 
approach are eligible for additional funding in this account.
    Aquatic Plant Control Program.--Of the funding provided for 
the Aquatic Plant Control Program, $1,000,000 shall be for 
activities for monitoring, surveys, and control of the 
flowering rush. Of the funding provided for the Aquatic Plant 
Control Program, $5,000,000 shall be for nationwide research 
and development to address invasive aquatic plants; within this 
funding, the Corps is encouraged to support cost shared aquatic 
plant management programs. Of the funding provided for the 
Aquatic Plant Control Program, $15,000,000 shall be for 
watercraft inspection stations, as authorized by section 1039 
of WRRDA, and $3,000,000 shall be for related monitoring.
    Beneficial Use of Dredged Material Pilot Program.--The 
agreement supports the pilot program authorized in section 1122 
of the WIIN Act (Public Law 114-322), but concerns remain about 
implementation of the program. The agreement provides 
$7,500,000 for the 10 pilot projects selected to date within 
``Beneficial Use of Dredged Material Pilot Program.'' The Corps 
shall not use Operation and Maintenance funds provided or 
allocated to the projects from which the dredged material is 
generated for costs beyond the costs of the Federal Standard. 
The Corps shall brief the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress not later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act on the planned activities, costs estimates, and 
potential timelines for each of the 10 selected pilot projects. 
The Corps is further directed to brief the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress prior to any effort 
to solicit or select any additional pilot projects as 
authorized by the America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018.
    Continuing Authorities Program.--The agreement supports all 
sections of the Continuing Authorities Program (CAP). Funding 
is provided for nine CAP sections at a total of $71,500,000, an 
increase of $68,500,000 above the budget request, which 
proposed funding for only three sections. This program provides 
a useful tool for the Corps to undertake small, localized 
projects without the lengthy study and authorization process 
typical of larger Corps projects. Within CAP and to the extent 
already authorized by law, the Corps is encouraged to consider 
projects that enhance coastal and ocean ecosystem resiliency 
and projects that restore degraded wetland habitat and stream 
habitat impacted by construction of Corps levees. The 
management of CAP shall continue consistent with direction 
provided in previous fiscal years.
    The Corps is encouraged to expedite the implementation of 
feasibility studies approved in 2019 under section 206 of the 
Flood Control Act of 1958. The Corps shall allow for the 
advancement of flood control projects in combination with 
ecological benefits using natural and nature-based solutions 
alone or in combination with built infrastructure where 
appropriate for reliable risk reduction during the development 
of projects under section 205 of CAP.
    Charleston Harbor.--The agreement includes House and Senate 
direction and supports the budget request to fully fund, up to 
the amount in the budget request, the remaining construction 
activities once an amendment to the existing Project 
Partnership Agreement is executed. It is understood that the 
Corps and the non-federal sponsor are prepared to sign the 
agreement upon enactment of this Act to ensure expeditious 
completion of the deepening project.
    Murrieta Creek.--The non-federal sponsor intends to pursue 
a section 221 In-Kind Credit Contribution agreement with the 
Corps to do the design work to optimize the multi-purpose 
basin, find the most cost-effective design, and initiate 
excavation of the basin. The Corps is encouraged to move 
forward with timely approval of the agreement. The non-federal 
sponsor also is moving forward to address the outdated 
information in the Corps' economic side-by-side analysis for 
the project in order to identify the most cost-effective 
project. The Corps is directed to coordinate with the non-
federal sponsor, as requested, in the economic update in order 
to have a strong basis for proceeding with the completion of 
the Limited Reevaluation Report.
    South Florida Ecosystem Restoration (SFER).--As in previous 
years, the agreement provides funding for all study and 
construction authorities related to Everglades restoration 
under the line item titled South Florida Ecosystem Restoration, 
Florida.'' This single line item allows the Corps flexibility 
in implementing the numerous activities underway in any given 
fiscal year. For fiscal year 2020, the Corps is directed to 
make publicly available a comprehensive snapshot of all SFER 
cost share accounting down to the project level and to ensure 
the accuracy of all budget justification sheets that inform 
SFER Integrated Financial Plan documents by October 31, 2020.

                   MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES

    The agreement includes $375,000,000 for Mississippi River 
and Tributaries.
    The allocation for projects and activities within the 
Mississippi River and Tributaries account is shown in the 
following table:


              [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]


    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--When allocating the 
additional funding provided in this account, the Corps shall 
consider giving priority to completing or accelerating ongoing 
work that will enhance the nation's economic development, job 
growth, and international competitiveness or are for studies or 
projects located in areas that have suffered recent natural 
disasters. While this funding is shown under Remaining Items, 
the Corps shall use these funds in investigations, 
construction, and operation and maintenance, as applicable. 
This may include work on remaining unconstructed features of 
projects permitted and authorized by law, in response to recent 
flood disasters.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account, the 
Corps shall allocate not less than $30,000,000 for additional 
flood control construction projects, of which $15,560,000 shall 
be for those projects with flood control, water quality, and 
sediment reduction benefits.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
other authorized project purposes, the Corps shall allocate not 
less than $1,160,000 for operation and maintenance of 
facilities that are educational or to continue land management 
of mitigation features.
    Mississippi River Commission.--No funding is provided for 
this new line item. The Corps is directed to continue funding 
the costs of the commission from within the funds provided for 
activities within the Mississippi River and Tributaries 
project.
    Concerns have been raised that there is a lack of fisheries 
expertise when making decisions to open Corps spillways, 
specifically related to the economic and ecological 
consequences experienced by coastal communities and ecosystems. 
The Corps is urged to work with the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration to investigate options for ensuring 
that the membership and staff of the Mississippi River 
Commission include a fisheries expert.

                       OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

    The agreement includes $3,790,000,000 for Operation and 
Maintenance.
    The allocation for projects and activities within the 
Operation and Maintenance account is shown in the following 
table:


              [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]


    Updated Capability.--The agreement adjusts some project-
specific allocations downward from the budget request based on 
updated information regarding the amount of work that could be 
accomplished in fiscal year 2020.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--Of the additional 
funding provided in this account for other authorized project 
purposes, the Corps shall allocate not less than $2,200,000 to 
continue greenway trail improvements at federal projects.
    Of the additional funding provided in this account for 
other authorized project purposes, the Corps shall allocate not 
less than $2,000,000 for efforts to combat invasive mussels at 
Corps-owned reservoirs.
    When allocating the additional funding provided in this 
account, the Corps shall consider giving priority to the 
following:
    1. ability to complete ongoing work maintaining authorized 
depths and widths of harbors and shipping channels (including 
small, remote, or subsistence harbors), including where 
contaminated sediments are present;
    2. ability to address critical maintenance backlog;
    3. presence of the U.S. Coast Guard;
    4. extent to which the work will enhance national, 
regional, or local economic development, including domestic 
manufacturing capacity;
    5. extent to which the work will promote job growth or 
international competitiveness;
    6. number of jobs created directly by the funded activity;
    7. ability to obligate the funds allocated within the 
calendar year;
    8. ability to complete the project, separable element, 
project phase, or useful increment of work within the funds 
allocated;
    9. addressing hazardous barriers to navigation due to 
shallow channels;
    10. risk of imminent failure or closure of the facility;
    11. for small, remote, and subsistence harbors,
    a. low-use ports with unexpected levels of deterioration 
since their last dredging; and
    b. projects with public safety concerns; and
    12. for harbor maintenance activities,
    a. total tonnage handled;
    b. total exports;
    c. total imports;
    d. dollar value of cargo handled;
    e. energy infrastructure and national security needs 
served;
    f. designation as strategic seaports;
    g. lack of alternative means of freight movement;
    h. savings over alternative means of freight movement; and
    i. improvements to dredge disposal facilities that will 
result in long-term savings, including a reduction in regular 
maintenance.
    Additional funding provided for donor and energy transfer 
ports shall be allocated in accordance with 33 U.S.C. 2238c. 
The Corps is encouraged to include funding for this program in 
future budget submissions. The Corps is directed to fully 
execute subsection (c) of 33 U.S.C. 2238c not later than 90 
days after enactment of this Act.
    Concerns persist that the administration's criteria for 
navigation maintenance do not allow small, remote, or 
subsistence harbors and waterways to properly compete for 
scarce navigation maintenance funds. The Corps is directed to 
revise the criteria used for determining which navigation 
projects are funded in order to develop a reasonable and 
equitable allocation under this account. The agreement supports 
including criteria to evaluate the economic impact that these 
projects provide to local and regional economies.
    Aquatic Nuisance Research Program.--Concerns persist about 
the increasing threat to human health and public safety from 
harmful algal blooms (HABs) on our nation's surface waters. The 
agreement provides additional funds in Aquatic Nuisance 
Research Program to address HABs and to develop next generation 
ecological models to maintain inland and intracoastal 
waterways, which contribute over $649,000,000,000 annually to 
the U.S. economy. The agreement also provides additional funds 
to support research and development that will identify the 
formation of HABs and develop improved strategies for early 
detection, prevention, and management techniques and procedures 
to reduce the occurrence and impacts of HABs in the nation's 
water resources. The Corps is urged to work collaboratively 
with appropriate university partners to address these issues. 
The Corps is encouraged to explore opportunities to address 
HABs in the Great Lakes given the historic lake levels in the 
region.
    Coastal Inlet Research Program.--The agreement includes 
Senate direction.
    Gross Revenue Fees.--Improving public access to and usage 
of Corps facilities and the continued enhancement of those 
facilities are significant policy objectives. Concerns have 
been raised that current Corps policy and actions related to 
the fees placed on gross revenue have discouraged the 
enhancement of facilities and amenities at certain properties. 
Therefore, the Corps is urged to consider the impact of gross 
revenue fees on recreational opportunities and property 
enhancements when determining the level of assessed gross 
revenue fees.
    Levee Safety.--The agreement includes House and Senate 
direction.
    Monitoring of Completed Navigation Projects.--It is 
understood that the Corps continues to explore non-destructive 
testing methods of inspection that can assist in performing 
this vital mission with increased safety and accuracy and at 
significantly less cost than current methods. The agreement 
provides $2,000,000 for the Corps to complete an asset 
management plan regarding non-destructive testing methods. 
Within available funds, $4,000,000 shall be to support the 
structural health monitoring program to facilitate research to 
maximize operations, enhance efficiency, and protect asset life 
through catastrophic failure mitigation. Not later than 90 days 
after enactment of this Act, the Corps shall brief the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the 
status of these efforts, including future funding requirements. 
The agreement includes Senate direction regarding fisheries.
    Regional Dredge Demonstration Program.--Additional funds 
are provided in this account to support the demonstration 
program in accordance with the front matter under the heading 
``Regional Dredge Demonstration Program.''
    Scheduling of Reservoir Operations.--The agreement provides 
that not less than $4,000,000 of the additional funds provided 
in the Scheduling of Reservoir Operations line shall be for a 
water control manual update for a non-Corps owned high hazard 
dam where: (1) the Corps has a responsibility for flood control 
operations under section 7 of the Flood Control Act of 1944; 
(2) the dam requires coordination of water releases with one or 
more other high-hazard dams for flood control purposes; and (3) 
the dam owner is actively investigating the feasibility of 
applying forecast-informed reservoir operations technology.
    Water Control Manuals.--The agreement includes Senate 
direction.

                           REGULATORY PROGRAM

    The agreement includes $210,000,000 for the Regulatory 
Program. Additional funds included above the budget request are 
to be used by Districts to decrease permit review times.

            FORMERLY UTILIZED SITES REMEDIAL ACTION PROGRAM

    The agreement includes $200,000,000 for the Formerly 
Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program.

                 FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES

    The agreement includes $35,000,000 for Flood Control and 
Coastal Emergencies.

                                EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $203,000,000 for Expenses.

     OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY FOR CIVIL WORKS

    The agreement includes $5,000,000 for the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works. The agreement 
includes legislative language that restricts the availability 
of funding until the Secretary submits the required baseline 
report and a work plan that allocates at least 95 percent of 
the additional funding provided in each account (i.e., 95 
percent of additional funding provided in Investigations, 95 
percent of additional funding provided in Construction, etc.). 
This restriction shall not affect the roles and 
responsibilities established in previous fiscal years of the 
Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, 
the Corps headquarters, the Corps field operating agencies, or 
any other executive branch agency.
    A timely and accessible executive branch in the course of 
fulfilling its constitutional role in the appropriations 
process is essential. The requesting and receiving of basic, 
factual information, such as budget justification materials, is 
vital in order to maintain a transparent and open governing 
process. The agreement recognizes that some discussions 
internal to the executive branch are pre-decisional in nature 
and, therefore, not subject to disclosure. However, the access 
to facts, figures, and statistics that inform these decisions 
are not subject to this same sensitivity and are critical to 
the budget process. The administration shall ensure timely and 
complete responses to these inquiries.

             General Provisions--Corps of Engineers--Civil


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement includes a provision relating to 
reprogramming.
    The agreement includes a provision regarding the allocation 
of funds.
    The agreement includes a provision prohibiting the use of 
funds to carry out any contract that commits funds beyond the 
amounts appropriated for that program, project, or activity.
    The agreement includes a provision concerning funding 
transfers related to fish hatcheries.
    The agreement includes a provision regarding certain 
dredged material disposal activities. The Corps is directed to 
brief the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act on 
dredged material disposal issues.
    The agreement includes a provision prohibiting funds for 
reorganization of the Civil Works program.
    The agreement includes a provision regarding eligibility 
for additional funding. Whether a project is eligible for 
funding under a particular provision of additional funding is a 
function of the technical details of the project; it is not a 
policy decision. The Chief of Engineers is the federal 
government's technical expert responsible for execution of the 
Civil Works program and for offering professional advice on its 
development. Therefore, the provision in this agreement 
clarifies that a project's eligibility for additional funding 
shall be solely the professional determination of the Chief of 
Engineers.
    The agreement includes a provision regarding reallocations 
at a project.

                  TITLE II--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR


                          Central Utah Project

    Unmanned Aerial Systems.--Concerns remain about the threat 
posed to the national security of the United States by unmanned 
aerial systems (UAS) that are produced by foreign-owned or 
controlled corporations and operated by the Department of the 
Interior, to include Reclamation. The agreement supports the 
Department of the Interior's recent grounding of UAS produced 
by foreign-owned or controlled corporations and encourages 
Reclamation to work with other federal agencies to develop a 
strategy to end all United States Government reliance on UAS 
from foreign-owned or controlled corporations, while working 
with federal partners to find a suitable domestic alternative.

                      WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $1,512,151,000 for Water and Related 
Resources.
    The agreement includes legislative language, in accordance 
with Public Law 114-322, to allow the use of certain funding 
provided in fiscal years 2017 and 2018.
    The agreement for Water and Related Resources is shown in 
the following table:

initiate construction of features necessary to prevent 
additional cost overruns.
    Additional Funding for Water and Related Resources Work.--
The agreement includes funds above the budget request for Water 
and Related Resources studies, projects, and activities. This 
funding is for additional work that either was not included in 
the budget request or was inadequately budgeted. Priority in 
allocating these funds should be given to advance and complete 
ongoing work, including preconstruction activities and where 
environmental compliance has been completed; improve water 
supply reliability; improve water deliveries; enhance national, 
regional, or local economic development; promote job growth; 
advance tribal and nontribal water settlement studies and 
activities; or address critical backlog maintenance and 
rehabilitation activities.
    Of the additional funding provided under the heading 
``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $134,000,000 shall be for 
water storage projects as authorized in section 4007 of the

conveyance capacity has been seriously impaired by factors such 
as age or land subsidence, especially those that would 
imminently jeopardize Reclamation's ability to meet water 
delivery obligations.
    Of the additional funding provided under the heading 
``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $20,000,000 shall be for 
water conservation activities in areas that are experiencing 
extended drought conditions. These water conservation 
activities shall include well construction and irrigation 
related structural or other measures, programs and projects 
that result in conservation of other surface water or 
groundwater, or improve water system efficiency, resiliency, 
reliability, delivery, and conveyance. Reclamation is directed 
to brief the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress not later than 180 days after enactment of this Act on 
the status of carrying out these activities.
    Of the additional funding provided under the heading 
``Environmental Restoration or Compliance,'' not less than 
$40,000,000 shall be for activities authorized under sections 
4001 and 4010 of the WIIN Act (Public Law 114-322) or as set 
forth in federal-state plans for restoring threatened and 
endangered fish species affected by the operation of 
Reclamation's water projects.
    Funding associated with each category may be allocated to 
any eligible study or project, as appropriate, within that 
category; funding associated with each subcategory may be 
allocated only to eligible studies or projects, as appropriate, 
within that subcategory.
    Not later than 45 days after enactment of this Act, 
Reclamation shall provide to the Committees on Appropriations 
of both Houses of Congress a report delineating how these funds 
are to be distributed, in which phase the work is to be

                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--

    [Clerk's note.--Reproduced below is the material relating 
to division D contained in the Explanatory Statement regarding 
H.R. 1865, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2020.\1\]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on
December 17, 2019 by Mrs. Lowey of New York, Chairwoman of the House 
Committee on Appropriations. The Statement appears on page H11281 of 
Book III.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   DIVISION D--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ENVIRONMENT, AND RELATED 
                   AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2020

    The following statement is an explanation of the effects of 
Division D, 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 2020.
    The explanatory statement accompanying this Act is approved 
and indicates congressional intent. Report language contained 
in House Report 116-100 and Senate Report 116-123 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.
    Each department and agency funded in this Act is directed 
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 Act. 
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 2019 enacted level and the fiscal year 2020 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.
    Bureau of Land Management, Reorganization.--The Department 
has not fulfilled its obligation to fully communicate the 
organizational and financial details of the reorganization and 
relocation of the Bureau's Washington, DC headquarters. It has 
not provided Bureau employees, Congress, agency stakeholders or 
the general public with adequate information regarding this 
move. Furthermore, it has not explained how it will sustain its 
operations and remain an effective land management agency 
following the anticipated loss of much of its senior management 
and the expected significant attrition of its workforce caused 
by the reorganization. The Department is therefore directed to 
begin monthly briefings with the Committees on Appropriations 
on the status of the reorganization, including in an initial 
briefing explaining the Bureau's plan for ensuring continuity 
of agency operations and addressing the immediate impacts of 
likely staff shortages caused by the reorganization.
    Requirement Relating to Information Requests.--The head of 
a Federal agency that receives funds under this Act or any 
other Act making appropriations for the Department of the 
Interior, environment, and related agencies for any other 
fiscal year shall respond completely and in full to a written 
request for information received by the head of the Federal 
Agency from the Comptroller General of the United States 
relating to a decision or opinion on appropriations law not 
later than the earlier of: (1) the date that is 45 days after 
the date on which the head of the Federal agency receives the 
written request; and (2) the date otherwise established by the 
Comptroller General of the United States in the written 
request. If the information requested by the Comptroller 
General of the United States is not readily available and the 
head of the Federal agency that received the written request is 
not able to respond completely and in full within the time 
period described, the head of the Federal agency shall by the 
deadline established in the preceding sentence respond in 
writing to provide as much information as practicable at the 
time of the response; and an explanation for the reason why the 
head of the Federal agency is unable to respond completely and 
in full at the time of the response; and a proposed timetable 
for the submission of all remaining requested information. Not 
later than 30 days after the date on which a response is 
submitted to the Comptroller General of the United States and 
every 30 days thereafter until the date on which the head of 
the Federal agency responds completely and in full to the 
request for information, as determined by the Comptroller 
General of the United States, the head of the Federal agency 
shall update in writing the response provided.
    Chaco Canyon.--On May 28, 2019, the Secretary announced 
that the Department will refrain from oil and gas leasing 
within the 10-mile radius of Chaco Culture National Historical 
Park pending completion of planning activities and tribal 
consultation. The Bureau of Land Management is directed not to 
conduct any oil and gas leasing activities authorized by 
section 17 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 226) in the 
withdrawal area identified on the map of the Chaco Culture 
National Historical Park prepared by the Bureau of Land 
Management and dated April 2, 2019, until the completion of the 
cultural resources investigation included in this agreement as 
part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs--Operation of Indian 
Programs appropriation. Nothing in this directive prohibits an 
Indian tribe or individual member of an Indian tribe or 
allottee from developing mineral rights under the Indian 
Mineral Leasing Act.
    105(l) Lease costs.--Estimates for lease costs resulting 
from section 105 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education 
Assistance Act continue to increase and have the potential to 
increase over the coming months. The uncertainty surrounding 
the 105(l) lease agreement estimates has inserted a high level 
of unpredictability into the budget process and has placed the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in the difficult 
position where rapidly escalating requirements for lease costs 
are negatively impacting the ability to use discretionary 
appropriations to support core tribal programs, including 
health, education and construction programs, or provide 
essential fixed cost requirements. Obligations of this nature 
are typically addressed through mandatory spending, but in this 
case since they fall under discretionary spending, they are 
impacting all other programs funded under the Interior and 
Environment Appropriations bill, including other equally 
important Tribal programs, and they appear to be growing 
exponentially without the Administration developing a long-term 
funding strategy to address them. The agreement notes that 
payments for 105(l) leases directly resulting from decisions in 
the case of Maniilaq Ass'n v. Burwell in both 2014 (72 F. Supp. 
3d 227 (D.D.C. 2014)) and 2016 (70 F. Supp. 3d 243 (D.D.C. 
2016)) appear to create an entitlement to compensation for 
105(l) leases that is typically not funded through 
discretionary appropriations. The Department of the Interior 
and the Department of Health and Human Services are directed to 
consult with Tribes and work with the House and Senate 
committees of jurisdiction, the Office of Management and 
Budget, and the Committees on Appropriations to formulate long-
term accounting, budget, and legislative strategies to address 
the situation, including discussions about whether, in light of 
the Maniilaq decisions, these funds should be reclassified as 
an appropriated entitlement.
    Bighorn Sheep.--In lieu of House direction, the Department 
of the Interior and the Forest Service shall follow the 
direction included in Senate Report 116-123 with regards to 
Bighorn Sheep.
    Land and Water Conservation Fund.--The bill includes 
$495,103,000 in new budget authority to be 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.

    Project Identification and Prioritization.--The bill 
contains statutory language in Title IV directing the 
submission of detailed and prioritized project lists by a date

agencies that directly impact the outdoor recreation sector. 
The study should present federal spending information for these 
programs, and in conducting the study, the Comptroller General 
should obtain information as appropriate from relevant 
stakeholders, including but not necessarily limited to 
representatives of the outdoor recreation industry, 
nongovernmental organizations, the Bureau of Economic Analysis 
of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and other interested 
stakeholders. The Comptroller General should work with relevant 
staff of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees to 
determine the federal agencies and fiscal years to be covered 
by the study. The Comptroller General should brief the 
Committees on the results of the study within one year, with a 
report to follow thereafter.
    Reports and Studies.--The agreement does not include the 
direction regarding a National Academy of Sciences report of 
the impacts on ecosystem services from mining and a mineral 
withdrawal study.

                        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 House and Senate Committees on Appropriations are 
dismayed by multiple agencies' lack of strict adherence to the 
Committees' reprogramming guidelines and agencies funded by 
this Act are reminded that no reprogramming shall be 
implemented without the advance approval of the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations in accordance with the 
procedures included in this Act. The agencies funded in this 
Act are reminded 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 on Appropriations report displays an 
allocation of an appropriation below that level, the 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 all proposed reorganizations or 
other workforce actions detailed below which affect a total of 
10 staff members or 10 percent of the staffing of an affected 
program or office, whichever is less, even without a change in 
funding. Any change to the organization table presented in the 
budget justification shall also be subject to this requirement.
    It is noted that agencies funded by this Act are continuing 
to work to implement Executive Order 13781, a Comprehensive 
Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch, and have included 
in the fiscal year 2020 budget request funding for these 
activities. It is also noted that agencies funded by this Act 
continue to weigh additional organizational changes during the 
fiscal year. Agencies are reminded that this recommendation 
continues longstanding General Guidelines for Reprogramming 
that require agencies funded by this Act to submit 
reorganization proposals for the Committees' review prior to 
their implementation. It is noted that such reprogramming 
guidelines apply to proposed reorganizations, workforce 
restructure, reshaping, transfer of functions, or bureau-wide 
downsizing and include closures, consolidations, and 
relocations of offices, facilities, and laboratories. 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 will be 
considered as expeditiously as possible, and the Committees 
remind the agencies that in order to process reprogramming 
requests, adequate and timely information must be provided.
    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 Committees do not require 
reprogramming requests associated with the States and Tribes 
Partnership Grants or up to a cumulative total of $5,000,000 
from carryover balances among the individual program areas 
delineated in the Environmental Programs and Management 
account, with no more than $1,000,000 coming from any 
individual program area. No funds, however, shall be 
reallocated from individual Geographic Programs.
    (c) With regard to the National Park Service, the 
Committees do not require reprogramming requests associated 
with the park base within the Park Management activity in the 
Operation of the National Park System Account. The Service is 
required to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on spending trends for the park base within 60 
days of enactment of this Act.
    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 
therefore are presented to the Committees 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) 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. 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 recommendation, 
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 or 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 30 days in which to examine the proposed exchange. ln 
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 Committees.

burro program, the bill contains a total appropriation of 
$101,555,000, of which $21,000,000 shall not be available for 
obligation until 60 days after the Bureau submits a 
comprehensive and detailed plan for an aggressive, non-lethal 
population control strategy. For purposes of the plan to be 
submitted, the directives expressed by the House and Senate in 
House Report 116-100 and Senate Report 116-123, respectively, 
shall prevail, particularly with respect to strict compliance 
with the Bureau's Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program. In 
addition, the plan shall also include no less than five 
consecutive years of detailed expenditure estimates beginning 
with fiscal year 2020. The plan shall also include a thorough 
discussion of the Bureau's proposed management of the 
logistical details of the strategy, including but not limited 
to: (1) the number of individuals currently assigned and 
actively working in the program and the number of additional 
personnel needed to implement the strategy; (2) the resources 
(including personnel and equipment) currently available for 
animal gathers and the increases needed in those resources to 
substantially increase the number of animals gathered for 
removal to achieve appropriate management levels; (3) the 
number of all short-term and long-term holding facilities 
currently under contract (including their current holding 
capacity and when those contracts expire), and an estimate of 
the number of additional facilities that will be needed and the 
Bureau's strategy to obtain those facilities, and; (4) the 
amount of fertility control resources currently available, the 
additional resources anticipated to be needed and the plan for 
obtaining those resources, and the plan for administering those 
resources, all focused on implementing a strategy aimed at 
minimizing future removals and maximizing treatment and 
retreatment of on-range animals to maintain appropriate 
management levels. Finally, the Bureau shall brief the 
Committees upon submission of the report, and quarterly 
thereafter.

                United States Fish and Wildlife Service


                          RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

    The bill provides $1,364,289,000 for Resource Management. 
All programs and activities, including youth programs, are 
funded at the amounts enacted in fiscal year 2019 unless 
otherwise specified below or in the table at the end of this 
division. The Service is expected to comply with the 
instructions and requirements at the beginning of this division 
and in House Report 116-100 and Senate Report 116-123 unless 
otherwise specified below.
    Ecological Services.--The agreement provides $266,012,000 
for programs and activities within Ecological Services.
    Planning and Consultation.--The agreement provides 
$109,016,000 for project permitting and consultation activities 
which includes $3,500,000 to avoid permitting delays and to 
achieve compliance with other statutes and $84,531,000 for 
general program activities.

outlined in House Report 116-100, the Service is required by 
law to use the best available science to make decisions to 
delist species, and if such decisions are warranted, the 
Service is directed to carefully analyze state management plans 
to ensure adequate protections will be in place and establish a 
monitoring system that guarantees rigorous enforcement of those 
plans.
    The agreement also includes $100,000 for Florida 
Grasshopper Sparrow and $7,000,000 for Recovery Challenge 
matching grants to implement high priority recovery actions as 
prescribed in recovery plans. Longstanding partnerships should 
be funded at not less than $3,000,000 and partner contributions 
should be not less than their current amounts. The remaining 
funds should be dedicated to new partnerships as outlined in 
House Report 116-100 and should require a 50:50 match, which 
may include in-kind services.
    Lesser Prairie-Chicken (LPC).--The Committees continue the 
direction regarding Lesser Prairie-Chicken contained in the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-6) and further, the 
Committees direct the Service to collaborate with local and 
regional stakeholders on improving voluntary solutions to

which includes $61,763,000 for maintenance support as 
requested.
    The Service is commended for advancing conservation by 
establishing the Green River National Wildlife Refuge as the 
568th national wildlife refuge. The Service is expected to 
provide robust support to the Refuge to further the goals for 
which it was established.
    Conservation and Enforcement.--The agreement provides 
$148,336,000 for other conservation and enforcement programs as 
described below.
    Migratory Bird Management.--The agreement provides 
$47,457,000 which includes $28,837,000 for Conservation and 
Monitoring and $14,640,000 for the North American Waterfowl 
Management Plan/Joint Ventures program. The recommendation 
includes $600,000 to manage bird-livestock conflicts and no 
funding for Aviation Management as it is provided in General 
Operations.
    Law Enforcement.--The agreement provides $82,053,000, 
including $9,000,000 for wildlife trafficking enforcement 
activities which may also be used as needed to supplement 
inspections. $3,500,000 is provided to continue the Service's 
work with the Indian Arts and Crafts Board to combat 
international trafficking of counterfeit arts and crafts and to 
conduct criminal investigations of alleged violations of the 
Indian Arts and Crafts Act.
    International Affairs.--The agreement provides $18,826,000 
including $10,810,000 for International Conservation of which 
$550,000 is to support the Arctic Council; $3,000,000 is to 
combat wildlife trafficking; $1,000,000 is for the Theodore 
Roosevelt Genius Prize; and $8,016,000 for International 
Wildlife Trade, of which $793,000 is to combat wildlife 
trafficking.
    In consultation with the United States Agency for 
International Development (USAID), the Department of the 
Interior shall develop policies and procedures for the 
execution and oversight of programs from funds made available 
by transfer from USAID to ensure that agreements for the 
obligation of funds between implementing partners and the 
Department include provisions requiring that: (1) information 
detailing the proposed project and potential impacts is shared 
with local communities and the free, prior, and informed 
consent of affected indigenous communities is obtained in 
accordance with international standards; (2) the potential 
impacts of the proposed project on existing land or resource 
claims by affected local communities or indigenous peoples are 
considered and addressed in any management plan; (3) any eco-
guards, park rangers, and other law enforcement personnel 
authorized to protect biodiversity will be properly trained and 
monitored; and (4) effective grievance and redress mechanisms 
for victims of human rights violations and other misconduct 
exist. The Director shall consult with the Committees not later 
than 45 days after enactment of this Act on the development of 
such policies and procedures.
    The Endangered Species Act requires that importing sport-
hunted trophies from endangered species is only permissible if 
the exporting country has demonstrated that hunting improves 
the survival of that species and proceeds of the hunt will be 
reinvested in conservation. The current U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service policy to evaluate applications for importing trophies 
for elephants and lions on a case-by-case basis may not 
adequately determine whether a country has proper safeguards in 
place to protect species vulnerable to poaching. Population 
counts continue to decline causing concern that the current 
policy is detrimental. The Fish and Wildlife Service is 
directed to reevaluate its current policy and analyze how 
targeted investments and technical assistance to the exporting 
countries' conservation programs would impact the survival of 
elephants and lions, improve local communities, and sustain 
species populations. The Service is to brief the Committees 60 
days after enactment of this Act on their findings.
    Fish and Aquatic Conservation.--The agreement provides 
$205,477,000 for fish and aquatic conservation programs.
    National Fish Hatchery System Operations.--The agreement 
provides $64,272,000 which includes: $1,200,000 for the Aquatic 
Animal Drug Approval Partnership; $3,750,000 for Klamath Basin 
restoration activities; and $4,700,000 for mitigation of the 
Pacific Salmon Treaty. The agreement maintains funding for mass 
marking at the fiscal year 2019 enacted level and directs the 
Service to work in cooperation with State fish and game 
agencies on marking of anadromous fish. 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.
    The Service is expected to continue funding mitigation 
hatchery programs via reimbursable agreements with Federal 
partners. Future agreements should include reimbursement for 
production, facilities, and administrative costs. The Service 
is expected to ensure that its costs are fully reimbursed 
before proposing to reduce or redirect base funding.
    Maintenance and Equipment.--The agreement provides 
$25,846,000 for maintenance and equipment expenses related to 
the National Fish Hatchery System. The Service is encouraged to 
provide a portion of this funding to hatcheries where partner 
agencies fund mitigation work.
    Habitat Assessment and Restoration.--The agreement provides 
$43,037,000, which includes $9,700,000 to implement the 
Delaware River Basin Conservation Act; $18,598,000 for the 
National Fish Passage Program; and $2,750,000 to implement 
Klamath Basin restoration activities. The Service is directed 
to work with the affected Tribes on fish restoration

    The agreement accepts the budget proposal to strengthen the 
Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) as an independent bureau with 
a separate budget structure, including a separate construction 
budget, from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The separation 
is reflected below.
    The bill provides $1,577,110,000 for Operation of Indian 
Programs. All programs, projects, and activities are maintained 
at fiscal year 2019 levels, except for requested fixed cost 
increases and internal transfers, or unless otherwise specified 
below. For this and all other Bureau accounts funded in this 
bill, Indian Affairs is expected to comply with the 
instructions and requirements at the beginning of this division 
and in House Report 116-100 and Senate Report 116-123, unless 
otherwise specified below. Additional details, instructions, 
and requirements are included below and in the table at the end 
of this division. Indian Affairs is reminded of the importance 
of meeting reporting requirement deadlines so that the 
Committees can properly evaluate programs. Failure to do so 
could negatively impact future budgets.
    Tiwahe.--The bill continues the Tiwahe Initiative at fiscal 
year 2019 levels across all programs and activities with 
funding distributed in the same amounts to the same recipients, 
including the funding to support women and children's shelters. 
There is concern that Tiwahe funding was not properly 
documented or distributed as outlined in the Office of 
Inspector General report published in 2018; therefore, BIA is 
directed to submit the final reports as directed by House 
Report 115-765 and Senate Report 116-123 within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    NATIVE Act.--Funding is continued across all programs and

Determination and Education Assistance Act continue to increase 
and have the potential to increase over the coming months. The 
agreement directs BIA to comply with the 105(l) lease costs 
language included in the front of this explanatory statement.
    Staffing.--The high level of staff vacancies prevents BIA 
from fulfilling its trust responsibilities. Indian Affairs is 
directed to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations 
detailing actual staffing and vacancy levels within the Bureau 
by region and headquarters for each program, and the amount of 
funding associated with any vacant positions within 120 days of 
enactment of this Act.

recognized Tribes or Tribal organizations to allow Tribal 
cultural experts to perform a cultural resources investigation 
to identify culturally and historically significant areas and 
sites in areas of high energy development potential within the 
Chaco Canyon region of the Southwest. As part of this 
investigation, the agreement expects special emphasis to be 
given to areas of high development potential as defined in 
Figure 10 of the Bureau of Land Management's February 2018 
Final Report, ``Reasonable Development Scenario of Oil and Gas 
Activities'' for the Mancos-Gallup RMPA Planning Area. The

$138,097,000 for real estate services, of which $500,000 is to

116-123; and $18,203,000 is for facilities operations and 
maintenance, of which $2,000,000 is to supplement fiscal year 
2019 funding levels for facilities located on Indian lands.
    The recommendation also includes $2,500,000 to focus on 
advanced training needs to help address the crisis for missing, 
trafficked, and murdered indigenous women. These activities 
shall focus on training for detectives, forensics, and other 
specialized courses in an effort to provide greater access to 
programs for Indian country law enforcement personnel to create 
safer communities. This advanced training shall not duplicate 
those activities at the Indian Police Academy, which continues 
as the central justice services training location for tribal 
law enforcement, including for entry-level law enforcement 
officers, agents and corrections officers, and the agreement 
provides full funding for these programs.
    To further address the crisis of missing, trafficked, and 
murdered indigenous women, it is necessary to both boost 
coordination and data collection among Tribal, local, State, 
and Federal law enforcement. For this reason, the agreement 
directs BIA to designate an official within the Office of 
Justice Services to work with Tribes to develop a set of 
guidelines on how to best collect the statistics on missing, 
trafficked, and murdered native women. The designee is expected 
to report back to the Committees on his or her findings within 
1 year after enactment of this Act. Additionally, the 
Government Accountability Office is directed to conduct a 
review of the BIA's policy for investigating and reporting 
missing and murdered Native Americans as well as outline 
recommendations for ways in which the BIA can improve and 
better coordinate BIA and Tribal law enforcement activities 
with other Federal agencies to improve access to databases and 
public notification systems.
    The agreement directs BIA to conduct the study identified 
in section 117 of Division B of H.R. 3055, as passed by the 
Senate on October 31, 2019, related to law enforcement staffing 
needs of Indian Tribes, and submit such study to the House and

fiscal year 2020. None of these funds may be allocated to a 
facility until such facility has achieved beneficial occupancy 
status. There is continued support for the Joint Venture 
program as currently implemented by IHS although IHS is 
directed to establish a more consistent application cycle of 
between three to five years. At each competitive cycle, IHS 
should select a specific number of awards and non-selected 
applications should be eligible to reapply during the next

    [Clerk's note.--Reproduced below is the material relating 
to division E contained in the Explanatory Statement regarding 
H.R. 1865, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2020.\1\]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on
December 17, 2019 by Mrs. Lowey of New York, Chairwoman of the House 
Committee on Appropriations. The Statement appears on page H11361 of 
Book III.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        DIVISION E--LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2020

    The following is an explanation of the effects of Division 
E, which makes appropriations for the legislative branch for 
fiscal year 2020. Unless otherwise noted, reference to the 
House and Senate reports are to House Report 116-64 and Senate 
Report 116-124. The language included in these reports should 
be complied with and carries the same emphasis as the language 
included in the explanatory statement, unless specifically 
addressed to the contrary in this explanatory statement. While 
repeating some report language for emphasis, this explanatory 
statement does not intend to negate the language referred to 
above unless expressly provided herein.
    Reprogramming Guidelines: It is expected that all agencies 
notify the Committees on Appropriations of the House and the 
Senate (hereinafter ``the Committees'') of any significant 
departures from budget plans presented to the Committees in any 
agency's budget justifications. In particular, agencies funded 
through this bill are required to notify the Committees prior 
to any reprogramming of funds in excess of the lesser of 10 
percent or $750,000 between programs, projects or activities, 
or in excess of $750,000 between object classifications (except 
for shifts within the pay categories, object class 11, 12, and 
13 or as further specified in each agency's respective 
section). This includes cumulative reprogrammings that together 
total at least $750,000 from or to a particular program, 
activity, or object classification as well as reprogramming 
full time equivalents (FTE) or funds to create new 
organizational entities within the agency or to restructure 
entities which already exist. In addition, the Committees must 
be notified of reprogramming actions that involve less than the 
above-mentioned amounts if such actions would have the effect 
of changing an agency's funding requirements in future years or 
if programs or projects specifically cited in the Committees' 
reports are affected.
    Updating Congressional Budget Justifications: Congressional 
Budget Justifications are essential tools within the 
appropriations process. The efforts of the Legislative Branch 
Financial Managers Council (LBFMC) to share financial 
information and improve financial processes across the entire 
legislative branch are applauded. With these efforts in mind, 
the members of the LBFMC are directed to explore refining and 
standardizing Congressional Budget Justifications and present 
the findings to the Committees within 180 days of the enactment 
of this act. The findings should include but not be limited to 
best practices for using Zero Base Budgeting, aligning FTE 
levels with current enacted appropriations and the funding 
requested in the budget year and providing detailed 
justifications for large multi-year or joint projects.
    Offices of Inspectors General Budgets: It is important to 
ensure independence between legislative branch Offices of 
Inspectors General (OIG) and their respective reporting 
agencies. There shall be a separate section in each agency's 
fiscal year 2021 budget justification reflecting a detailed 
budget request for the agency's OIG. Each OIG is directed to 
keep the Committees fully apprised of its funding needs. In 
addition, each agency is directed to avoid interference with or 
require approval for such communications.
    Science and Technology Needs in Congress: The report 
released on November 14, 2019, by the National Academy of 
Public Administration (NAPA) identified the existing gaps in 
science and technology expertise and resources available to 
Congress. The Committees, Members, stakeholders and other 
committees of jurisdiction working together will continue to 
evaluate the recommendations in the report to address this gap.
    Data Centers: Legislative branch agencies use information 
technology (IT) infrastructure, systems and services to support 
critical functions to carry out their statutory missions, 
including functions essential to carrying out the 
constitutional responsibilities of the legislative branch.
    IT infrastructure, systems and services may be located in 
data centers covering several geographic regions or using 
several types of cloud services. Regardless of how such 
infrastructure, systems and services are provisioned, an 
agency's IT infrastructure, systems or services must satisfy, 
or have a plan to achieve, the following requirements: must 
meet ``concurrently maintainable'' requirements, as set forth 
by the Uptime Institute or a designated agency authority; must 
maintain continuous operation against agency-defined hazards 
and risks; and must incorporate technical communications 
capabilities to ensure that all necessary IT resources required 
to support the mission of the legislative branch can 
interoperate effectively with the House, Senate, and other 
agencies.
    Advertising Contracts: Each agency is directed to include 
the following information in its fiscal year 2021 budget 
justification: Expenditures for fiscal year 2019 for (1) all 
contracts for advertising services; and (2) contracts for the 
advertising services with (I) socially and economically 
disadvantaged small business concerns (as defined in section 
8(a)(4) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(a)(4)); and 
(II) women- and minority-owned businesses.

    The agreement includes $379,062,000 for salaries of the 
United States Capitol Police (USCP). The increase includes 
funds to support 57 additional sworn officers as well as one 
additional position for the USCP Office of Inspector General. 
No more than $47,048,000 is recommended for overtime in fiscal 
year 2020. This provides for approximately 717,791 hours of 
additional duty including coverage of the 2020 National 
Conventions and pre-inauguration.
    USCP Office of Inspector General: The agreement provides 
funding to support not less than six FTE within the USCP Office 
of Inspector General.
    The agreement reiterates directives included in the Senate 
report and/or House report related to:
    USCP Wellness Program: The Department's efforts to date to 
develop an overall Wellness Program for the officers and 
civilian personnel of the U.S. Capitol Police are encouraging. 
It is important to ensure the Capitol Police workforce has the 
needed support in order to perform its critical national 
security mission of defending the legislative process. As a 
part of this law enforcement function, it is important for the 
Department to continue its effort to maintain the highest level 
of readiness.
    Therefore, the Department is encouraged to begin 
implementation of a holistic wellness and resiliency program 
for its workforce that emphasizes the importance of physical 
fitness, nutritional health, mental and emotional health, and 
financial wellness. Mindfulness plays an important role in 
having a first responder workforce that is holistically 
balanced and resilient. With an emphasis on improving and 
maintaining both physical fitness and mental health, the 
Department will be able to provide the support to its workforce 
to enable them to maintain full focus and attention to the 
Department's critical mission.
    Within 45 days of enactment of this act, the Department is 
directed to submit a report to the Committees providing the 
scope, timeline and the cost estimates for implementation and 
maintenance of such a program. This report should include 
specific details on how the Department plans to utilize its 
current resources, such as fitness centers and contracted 
fitness training support in this effort, and how it would 
expand these capabilities to provide the greatest opportunity 
for its workforce to improve and maintain their physical 
fitness and nutritional health. The Department should also 
include details of the other focus areas for its Wellness 
Program, to include, but not limited to mental, emotional and 
financial health. This Program should be designed to achieve 
the highest level of participation of the USCP's workforce. The 
Committees look forward to working closely with the Department 
to achieve this effort.
    Micromobility Options on U.S. Capitol Grounds: Dockless 
commercial scooters, or e-scooters, and other motorized devices 
for rent have grown as a commuting option for congressional 
staffers, tourists and other visitors to the District of 
Columbia and Capitol Grounds. It is recognized that new and 
expanding micromobility options in the District can offer 
alternatives to car travel and increase access to public 
transportation. However, these options can create a public 
safety concern impacting vehicular and pedestrian traffic on 
the Capitol Grounds if not appropriately regulated and if left 
unchecked. The safety and security concerns--specifically e-
scooters left unattended on sidewalks, roadways, and high-
pedestrian access areas throughout the Capitol Grounds--raised 
by the Capitol Police and other members of the congressional 
community should continue to be addressed by both the USCP and 
the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms. The Capitol Police and 
the Sergeants at Arms are directed to continue and expand 
efforts to communicate to e-scooter companies, congressional 
staff, District residents and visitors current restrictions for 
using and/or parking e-scooters on or around Capitol Grounds. 
The USCP and the Sergeants at Arms are also directed to engage 
with the e-scooter companies and the District to explore the 
feasibility of having locations adjacent to campus to designate 
as e-scooter parking areas.
    Use of Grounds: The Committees understand the need to 
maintain safety and order on the Capitol Grounds and the USCP 
is commended for its efforts. Given the family-style 
neighborhood that the Capitol shares with the surrounding 
community the Capitol Police is instructed to forebear 
enforcement of 2 U.S.C. 1963 (``an act to protect the public 
property, turf, and grass of the Capitol Grounds from injury'') 
and the Traffic Regulations for the United States Capitol 
Grounds when encountering snow sledders on the grounds.

                            General Expenses

    The agreement includes $85,279,000 for general expenses of 
the Capitol Police.
    USCP Office of Inspector General: The agreement provides 
funding not less than $452,500 for expenses of the Office of 
Inspector General.

                        Administrative Provision

    The agreement amends 2 U.S.C. 1926(c), by increasing the 
employee educational assistance program reimbursement limit 
from $40,000 to $60,000 for student loan repayments.

                OFFICE OF CONGRESSIONAL WORKPLACE RIGHTS


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $6,333,000 for salaries and 
expenses.

                      CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $54,941,000 for salaries and 
expenses.
    Responsiveness: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is 
expected to ensure a high level of responsiveness to 
committees, leadership and Members, to the greatest extent 
practicable under the priorities for CBO set by law, especially 
when working on current pending legislation. As an agency that 
prides itself as being nonpartisan, CBO should be providing the 
same information to all stakeholders at the appropriate time 
when addressing legislation that has been made public.

                        ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

    The agreement includes $695,933,000 for the activities of 
the Architect of the Capitol (AOC).
    AOC Office of Inspector General (OIG): The agreement 
includes not less than $3,810,000 to support no fewer than 15 
FTE within the AOC OIG during fiscal year 2020.
    AOC Response to Sexual Harassment Complaints: There 
continues to be a concern with the findings of the March 15, 
2019, AOC OIG review of the AOC's response to sexual harassment 
complaints over the previous 10-year period. Employees of the 
AOC should feel their work environment is safe and that 
complaints of harassment and discrimination are taken 
seriously.
    The AOC is directed to report to the Committees within 60 
days of enactment of this act on the status of implementation 
for each of the 16 inquiry results listed in the AOC OIG's 
report, to include the implementation of the recommendations 
identified in prior OIG sexual harassment management advisories 
that went unimplemented in previous years. The report should 
detail the timeline for implementation as well as any updates 
or revisions to the AOC's internal policies relating to 
harassment and discrimination, including employee training on 
how to prevent and properly report incidents.
    Improved Coordination of Legislative Branch Data Centers: 
Each legislative branch agency independently determines how to 
manage its data center needs, including: which type of 
computing (center-based versus cloud-based) to use, the 
appropriate location for its data centers and required tier of 
security, the type of facility business model (owned or leased) 
and expected length of occupancy. While it is appropriate for 
each agency to make these decisions unilaterally, it does 
create governance issues across the legislative branch. The AOC 
manages several facilities that provide space for data centers, 
but their use is subject to individual agency decisions, making 
it difficult for AOC to plan for building maintenance and 
renovations. Coordination of agency decisions regarding data 
centers would likely result in cost savings from economies of 
scale and agreements on physical building space usage. The 
chief information officers (CIOs) of the legislative branch 
agencies are directed to form a governance board that will have 
authority over common elements among agencies' management of 
their data centers. Such elements should include agreements on 
the use of available space in data centers that are owned and 
managed by the AOC. The board should identify the expected rate 
of occupancy of AOC data centers over the next 5 to 10 years, 
their required level of security, and agreed-upon uses of 
unused space for other purposes. The CIOs should report to the 
Committees within 180 days of enactment of this act that the 
governance board has been created. Thereafter, the board should 
provide annual reports to the Committees on its deliberations 
and decisions, with the first report being due by January 30, 
2021.
    Data Provided for AOC Projects in Budget Justifications: 
The AOC is requested to provide in its fiscal year 2022 budget 
justification additional information about the line item 
construction projects requested that total $25,000,000 or more. 
Similar to the information provided for Department of Defense

    Accessibility: It is critical for all individuals visiting 
the U.S. Capitol complex to have the opportunity to be inspired 
and learn. Individuals with disabilities should receive the 
same information and experiences as those who do not have 
disabilities. Signage, brochures and many exhibit descriptions 
are available in Braille and/or large print. There are several 
touchable models available as is an audio descriptive tour of 
Exhibition Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC). The 
efforts of the Office of Congressional Accessibility Services 
(OCAS) to develop a touchable model/map of the CVC and the 
Capitol complex are helpful, as well as its development of a 
descriptive audio tour for the redesigned Exhibition Hall 
located in the CVC. In addition, its efforts to enhance 
independent navigation and access to visual information for 
those who are blind or have low vision are important. However, 
emerging access technologies, including remote video 
connectivity to trained visual interpreters that can support 
such access, should be considered. The AOC, working with the 
OCAS, is encouraged to research and evaluate access 
technologies for those who are blind or have low vision that 
enable access to visual information and enhance independent 
navigation. The AOC is expected to provide a briefing to the 
Committees within 180 days of enactment of this act on plans to 
incorporate these technologies into the visitor experience in 
the Capitol building.
    Display of the Official Flags of Federally Recognized 
Indian Tribes: The AOC is encouraged to study the feasibility 
of the display of the official flags of federally recognized 
Indian Tribes in visible spaces on the Capitol campus. The AOC 
is requested to provide a report to the Committees within 120 
days of enactment of this act describing potential scope and 
display method options.
    Depictions of Native Americans and Native American History 
in the Capitol: There are depictions of Native Americans 
throughout the Capitol complex that do not portray Native 
Americans as equals or Indian Tribes as independent sovereigns. 
The AOC is urged to work with the Native American historians 
and professionals at the National Museum of the American Indian 
to ensure that the Capitol complex describes more accurately 
and respectfully represents the history of Native Americans. 
The AOC is also encouraged to acknowledge in its exhibitions on 
American history and tradition the elements that have 
originated from Native American cultures.

                            Capitol Grounds

    The agreement includes $15,024,000 for the care and

    Summerhouse: The historic Summerhouse on the Capitol 
grounds designed in 1880 by Frederick Law Olmsted is badly 
deteriorated and has needed masonry structure renovation for 
years. Yet, the project has been deemed lower priority than 
other important projects and not funded. The Architect is 
encouraged to apply to the United States Capitol Preservation 
Commission for the $3,200,000 requested in the fiscal year 2020 
budget for renovation of the Summerhouse. The Commission uses 
the Capitol Preservation Fund to provide financing for 
preservation of the Capitol and structures on Capitol grounds, 
making the Summerhouse an appropriate project recipient. The 
Architect is requested to notify the Committees when a request 
has been made to the Commission for Summerhouse funding.

                        Senate Office Buildings

    The agreement includes $88,424,000 for the maintenance,

anticipation of receipt by March 31, 2020, of the AOC report to 
identify and evaluate potential options for expanding the 
physical capacity of the SECCC, and a potential decision made 
on the path forward for SECCC facility expansion, the agreement 
concurs with the Senate Report and provides an additional 
$1,000,000 for Senate Office Buildings Minor Construction above 
the fiscal year 2020 budget request to be used for pre-design 
activities if the selection of a preferred option from the 
ongoing study is finalized. Such pre-design activities would 
include developing a site-specific program of requirements, an 
acquisition plan, and an independent government estimate.

                          Library of Congress


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $504,164,000 in direct 
appropriations and authority to spend receipts of $6,000,000 
for a total of $510,164,000. This amount includes $3,587,000 
for the Veterans History Project.
    Office of Inspector General: The agreement includes not 
less than $3,991,000 for the Library's Office of Inspector 
General during fiscal year 2020.
    Centralized Funding for Information Technology: As 
requested by the Library, funding for centralized IT services 
is appropriated directly to the main Library of Congress 
Salaries and Expenses account for use by the Office of the 
Chief Information Officer instead of to the component 
organizations receiving the IT services. This realignment 
reflects where services are actually being performed, avoiding 
the need for repeated reimbursement transactions, and will help 
facilitate the final phases of IT centralization across the 
Library. As a result, a total of $13,556,000 is provided to the 
Salaries and Expenses account, with $2,708,000 allocated for 
Copyright Office IT services, $8,767,000 designated for 
Congressional Research Service IT services, and $2,081,000 
allocated for National Library Service for the Blind and Print 
Disabled IT services. As a result of this realignment, funding 
for the three agencies may appear lower, compared to fiscal 
year 2019. The Library is expected to provide a detailed 
spending plan within 60 days of enactment of this act, 
including any increase in FTE levels associated with the IT 
modernization.
    Primary Computing Facility: Included within this 
recommendation is $7,000,000 for Data Center Transformation and 
Modernization (phase II). The Library's Office of the Chief 
Information Officer has confirmed that it is on schedule to 
complete the Data Center Transformation Program by the end of 
fiscal year 2020. The Librarian of Congress is directed to 
provide a written report, within 30 days of enactment of this 
act, outlining a month-by-month timeline of when the data 
center migration will be completed, including a detailed 
overview of how the Library intends to meet its fiscal year 
2020 deadline to migrate to an offsite certified Tier III data 
center.
    IT Modernization and Integrated Master Schedule: The 
agreement continues to build on investments in IT modernization 
at the Library, including updating outdated infrastructure, 
supporting migration to a Tier III data center, and improving 
the security of the networks. To facilitate the oversight of 
these investments, the Library is directed to develop an 
integrated master schedule for its overarching IT modernization 
efforts. The integrated master schedule should use best 
practice criteria from the Government Accountability Office, 
Project Management Institute, or other entity with similar 
expertise to outline the span of the modernization effort, to 
be updated on a rolling basis as milestones are met and 
modernization moves forward. In order to measure the 
modernization cost and schedule performance on an ongoing 
basis, the integrated master schedule should also include a 
comparison of the applicable planned cost of completed work to 
actual cost incurred, to be updated quarterly. The baselined 
integrated master schedule should be completed and shared with 
the Committees within 60 days of enactment of this act.
    Visitor Experience Project: The agreement provides 
$10,000,000 to be available until expended for further design 
and development of the Visitor Experience Project. This brings 
the total Federal investment provided thus far for the project 
to $20,000,000. The Library is expected to complete a detailed 
plan with further design, along with cost estimates completed 
by the Architect of the Capitol, for the project. This material 
should be made available as part of the Library's annual budget 
request. Language is included making this funding available 
only upon approval of the House and Senate Legislative Branch 
Appropriations Subcommittees. Such approval will be contingent 
upon agreement that the Library has completed the necessary 
design and development of the project, along with detailed cost 
estimates. The Library is also requested to provide semi-
annually the amount of non-Federal funding committed or 
received for this project.
    National Film and Sound Recording Preservation Programs: 
The important work of the National Film Preservation Program 
and the National Sound Recording Preservation Program is 
recognized, including the federally chartered National Film and 
National Recording Preservation Foundations (Foundations). 
Consistent with the authorizing statute, the Foundations 
utilize both public and private matching funds to provide 
grants to a wide array of educational and non-profit 
organizations that help preserve historical and cultural 
artifacts that would otherwise disappear or be destroyed over 
time. Given that these programs were reauthorized under the 
Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation 
Programs Reauthorization Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-217), the 
Library is expected to provide support to these programs.

                            Copyright Office


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $42,137,000 in direct appropriations 
to the Copyright Office. An additional $45,700,000 is made 
available from receipts for salaries and expenses and 
$4,003,000 is available from prior year unobligated balances, 
for a total of $91,840,000.
    Information Technology Modernization: The recommendation 
continues funding for Copyright Office IT modernization. The 
Copyright Office is directed to provide a detailed spend plan 
for the IT modernization efforts intended to be addressed with 
the funds provided in fiscal year 2020. Additionally, the 
Copyright Office is directed to develop an integrated and 
reliable master schedule for its mission specific modernization 
efforts. The integrated master schedule should use best 
practice criteria from the Government Accountability Office, 
Project Management Institute, or other entity with similar 
expertise to outline a set of detailed milestones and outcome 
measures over the span of the modernization effort, to be 
updated on a rolling basis as milestones are met and 
modernization moves forward. In order to measure the 
modernization cost and schedule performance on an ongoing 
basis, the integrated master schedule should also include a 
comparison of the applicable planned cost of completed work to 
actual cost incurred, to be updated quarterly. The baselined 
integrated master schedule should be completed and shared with 
the Committees within 60 days of enactment of this act.
    In lieu of language included in the Senate report, the 
agreement includes the following:
    Satellite Subsidy Expiration: There is a concern that the 
distant signal provision contained in the STELA Reauthorization 
Act of 2014 (Public Law 113-200) may provide a below-market 
incentive for a mature satellite industry to restrict local 
news transmission. Recognizing that this law is set to expire 
on December 31, 2019, the Register of Copyrights is directed to 
conduct a study on the impact on the market post-expiration, 
and report to the Committees within 18 months of enactment of 
this act.

encouraged to continue to incorporate analyses of Federal law 
and related judicial developments, legislation and the 
regulatory process, and international law into its curriculum.

       National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

website which will enhance service to existing National Library 
Service (NLS) patrons and is expected to increase its number of 
users. The recommendation also includes $2,375,000 to increase 
the supply of talking book machines and Braille eReaders.

                        ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION

    The agreement includes a provision regarding reimbursable 
and revolving funds.

providing independent and objective information to the Director 
of GPO and to the Congress. The information provided is crucial 
to the oversight functions of Congress and the daily functions 
of the agency and its employees. The OIG shall fully inform the 
Committees of any problems and deficiencies within the agency, 
as provided by statute. The OIG should inform the Committees 
periodically and upon request of all completed activities of 
the OIG that are not classified in nature. In instances when 
information or reports are deemed agency-sensitive, the OIG is 
expected to be transparent and work collectively with the 
Committees to ensure that Congress has access to information 
critical to its legislative branch oversight functions.

                         Salaries And Expenses

    The agreement includes $630,000,000 in direct 
appropriations for salaries and expenses of the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO). In addition, $24,800,000 is 
available from offsetting collections, for a total of 
$654,800,000.
    GAO Office of Inspector General: The agreement also 
includes not less than $2,375,000 for the GAO Office of 
Inspector General, which supports not less than 11 FTE.
    Science and Technology Issues: The funding provided will 
allow GAO to increase support for Congress' work on evolving 
science and technology issues. The 2019 report from the 
National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) identified the 
need for GAO to focus its advice to Congress on technical 
assessments and short-to-medium term studies. The study also 
highlighted that although GAO's support requests from Congress 
have increased, GAO should consider expanding its outreach to 
the science and technology community and coordination with CRS 
to better fill these gaps. GAO is encouraged to dedicate a 
specific number of experts to work exclusively on GAO's 
Science, Technology Assessment, and Analytics (STAA) team that 
was created in January 2019, a recommendation that was included 
in the NAPA report.
    GAO Budget Appropriations Group: The GAO Budget 
Appropriations Group provides important services to Congress 
through its formal legal opinions, informal legal advice, the 
updating of its three-volume treatise on appropriations law, 
and its responsibilities under the Impoundment Control Act. The 
number of requests to the Budget Appropriations Group has 
increased dramatically over the last five years, making it more 
difficult for GAO to respond to Congressional inquiries. Within 
the increases provided, GAO is encouraged to enhance the 
resources allocated to its important appropriations law 
functions.

                OPEN WORLD LEADERSHIP CENTER TRUST FUND

    The agreement includes $5,900,000.
    Mission: The Open World Leadership Center (OWLC) is 
applauded on its twentieth year of operation. The highlight of 
OWLC's accomplishments has been the engagement of program 
participants with United States Government officials, including 
Members of Congress, which helps to improve the image of the 
United States in countries where leaders have limited direct 
interface with Americans and our values.
    Open World should continue to support Congress in fostering 
relationships with select foreign states in its programs as an 
adjunct to United States diplomatic relations, and to gain 
greater understanding between our nations. Such a course of 
action would be in line with a national strategy to compete for 
influence in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Central 
Asian countries, given the current multi-polar world that 
presents both challenges and opportunities.

   JOHN C. STENNIS CENTER FOR PUBLIC SERVICE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

    The agreement includes $430,000.

                      TITLE II--GENERAL PROVISIONS

    The agreement continues provisions related to maintenance 
and care of private vehicles; fiscal year limitations; rates of 
compensation and designation; consulting services; costs of the 
LBFMC; limitation on transfers; guided tours of the Capitol; 
limitation on telecommunications equipment procurement; 
prohibition on certain operational expenses; plastic waste 
reduction; adjustments to normal cost percentage rates; and 
congressional staff compensation.

                   AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2020

    The following is an explanation of the effects of Division 
F which makes appropriations for Military Construction, 
Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies for fiscal year 2020. 
Unless otherwise noted, references to the House Report is 
reference to House Report 116-63. The language set forth in 
House Report 116-63 should be complied with and carry the same 
emphasis as the language included in the joint explanatory 
statement, unless specifically addressed to the contrary in

language for emphasis, this joint explanatory statement does 
not intend to negate the language referred to above unless 
expressly provided herein.

                                TITLE I


                         DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

    Reprogramming Guidelines.--The following reprogramming 
guidelines apply for all military construction and family 
housing projects. A project or account (including the sub-
elements of an account) which has been specifically reduced by 
the Congress in acting on the budget request is considered to 
be a congressional interest item and as such, prior approval is 
required. Accordingly, no reprogramming to an item specifically 
reduced below the threshold by the Congress is permitted, 
except that the DOD may seek reprogramming for appropriated 
increments.
    The reprogramming criteria that apply to military 
construction projects, which is 25 percent of the funded amount 
or $2,000,000, whichever is less, also apply to new housing 
construction projects and improvements. To provide the services 
the flexibility to proceed with construction contracts without 
disruption or delay, the costs associated with environmental 
hazard remediation such as asbestos removal, radon abatement, 
lead-based paint removal or abatement, and any other legislated 
environmental hazard remediation may be excluded, if such 
remediation requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at 
the time of the budget submission. This exclusion applies to 
projects authorized in this budget year, as well as projects 
authorized in prior years for which construction has not been 
completed.
    In addition to these guidelines, the services are directed 
to adhere to the guidance for military construction 
reprogramming actions and notifications, including the 
pertinent statutory authorities contained in DOD Financial 
Management Regulation 7000.14-R and relevant updates and policy 
memoranda. Further, the agreement encourages the Office of the 
Director of National Intelligence to use a format similar to 
that used by the Office of the Secretary of Defense to submit 
reprogramming requests.
    Natural Disasters and Military Installations Resiliency.--
The Committees support the military's continued focus on 
building lasting and resilient military installations, 
including methods that update hurricane-resistant building 
codes for bases, barracks, hospitals, and airfields. The 
Committees strongly support Department-wide initiatives such as 
revised structure planning, conservation programs and modeling 
new installations with the threat of sea-level rise in mind. 
The agreement strongly urges DOD to prioritize investing in 
climate-sustainable infrastructure projects because they yield 
positive results, such as increased resiliency and cost-
savings. The agreement reiterates the direction provided in 
House Report 116-63 that directs DOD to detail its plans to 
further develop lasting and resilient military installations. 
The agreement also includes $75,000,000 in planning and design 
funds for the Services to address these and 10 U.S.C. 2864 
master plan requirements in future military construction 
programs.
    Bid Savings.--Cost variation notices required by 10 U.S.C. 
2853 continue to demonstrate the Department of Defense (DOD) 
continues to have bid savings on previously appropriated 
military construction projects. Therefore, the agreement 
includes rescissions to the Defense-Wide military construction 
account and the NATO Security Investment Program. The Secretary 
of Defense is directed to continue to submit 1002 reports on 
military construction bid savings at the end of each fiscal 
quarter to the Committees.
    Incremental Funding.--In general, the Committees support 
full funding for military construction projects if they are 
executable. However, it continues to be the practice of the 
Committees to provide incremental funding for certain large 
projects to enable the services to more efficiently allocate 
military construction dollars among projects that can be 
executed in the year of appropriation. Therefore, the agreement 
includes 16 projects that have been incrementally funded, 
however the full authorization of the projects was provided in 
the National Defense Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2020.
    Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization 
(FSRM).--The Department of Defense is directed to continue 
describing on form 1390 the backlog of FSRM requirements at 
installations with future construction projects. For troop 
housing requests, form 1391 should describe any FSRM conducted 
in the past two years. Likewise, future requirements for 
unaccompanied housing at the corresponding installation should 
be included. Additionally, the forms should include English 
equivalent measurements for projects presented in metric 
measurement. Rules for funding repairs of facilities under the 
Operation and Maintenance accounts are described below:
    (1) components of the facility may be repaired by 
replacement. Such replacement can be up to current standards or 
codes;
    (2) interior arrangements and restorations may be included 
as repair;
    (3) additions and new facilities may be done concurrently 
with repair projects, as long as the final conjunctively funded 
project is a complete and usable facility; and
    (4) the appropriate service secretary shall notify the 
appropriate committees 21 days prior to carrying out any repair 
project with an estimated cost in excess of $7,500,000.
    Work In Progress Or Planned (WIP) Curve.--The Services and 
the Office of the Secretary of Defense (on behalf of itself and 
defense agencies) are directed to submit a WIP curve for each 
project requested in a budget submission above $90,000,000 with 
the 1391 justification to the congressional defense committees. 
Due to the alarming amount of unawarded prior-year military 
construction projects, the Secretary of Defense is directed to 
report to the congressional defense committees quarterly, 
beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 and each 
quarter thereafter on projects that remain unawarded from the 
current and prior fiscal years and the reasons therefore. 
Finally, in order to improve transparency and consistent with 
data publication required under 10 U.S.C. 2851, the agreement 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit reports to the 
congressional defense committees on a quarterly basis starting 
no later than the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 
identifying contracts awarded in the relevant previous quarter 
for projects funded in this title. At minimum the reports 
should include: the project name and location, contract 
solicitation and award date, and contract award amount.
    Military Construction Thresholds.--The agreement places no 
restriction on military construction funding levels that can be 
requested by the Department, whether domestic or overseas 
although the Secretary of the Army has issued guidance that the 
cost for individual military construction projects should not 
exceed $100,000,000. Project scopes should not be artificially 
capped by cost and the agreement directs the Army to reevaluate 
this practice and to include incorporating area cost factor 
into any related guidance. In accordance with standing 
practice, the Department is directed to request such funds for 
military construction as may be necessary to meet military 
requirements and can be responsibly executed.
    Leveraging Military Construction for Emergent 
Requirements.--The Committees recognize that other countries 
are utilizing infrastructure to enhance national interest at a 
higher rate of investment than the Department of Defense. 
Military construction is vital to current and future force 
readiness and can be a strategic asset to deter near-peer 
competitors, particularly in nations that support U.S. posture 
in the Indo-Asia-Pacific, such as Micronesia, the Marshall 
Islands, and Palau. The agreement provides an additional 
$10,000,000 in Defense-Wide planning and design for emergent 
requirements in the Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) region 
that support National Defense Strategy objectives to sustain 
joint force military advantages and deter adversaries from 
aggression against our national interest. INDOPACOM is directed 
to provide a spend plan for these funds no later than 180 days 
after enactment of this Act.
    Project Delivery and Process Improvements.--Because of 
concern with the number of projects delivered behind schedule 
or over budget, the agreement directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report within 180 days of enactment of this Act on 
the Department's progress in adopting best industry practices 
and other initiatives to address and mitigate risks in the 
delivery of construction projects. The report should include 
descriptions of the specific improvements that have been 
assessed and the extent of their implementation, the intended 
results and metrics, suggested refinements to budget documents, 
and individual assessments by the Secretaries concerned and DOD 
construction agents on the extent to which they have 
incorporated these improvements into their military 
construction programs.
    Construction Costs.--DOD faces increasing challenges 
meeting its construction requirements in remote and highly 
remote markets where projects are less competitive in the DOD 
planning, programming, and budgeting process compared to those 
in low costs markets, regardless of the importance of the 
project to the DOD mission. Therefore, no later than 270 days 
after enactment of this Act, the US Army Corps of Engineers 
(USACE) and Naval Facilities Command (NAVFAC) are directed to 
provide a report assessing strategies for controlling and 
reducing costs to military construction projects. The report 
shall specifically consider project costs in remote and highly 
remote markets, including overseas markets in the Western and 
Southern Pacific. The report shall also consider the costs that 
DOD can control through the acquisition process, including 
potential changes to procurement authorities that allow 
preference of alternative, lower-cost building materials and 
techniques, such as concrete curing, provided the materials and 
techniques meet military specific design standards.
    Natural Disaster Recovery.--Consistent with standard 
practice, the agreement directs DOD to adhere to all applicable 
laws concerning National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) 
requirements prior to beginning any site preparation or 
construction. The agreement further directs DOD no later than 
30 days after enactment of this Act to brief the congressional 
defense committees on any steps that have been taken or are 
expected to be taken related to military construction at 
installations recovering from natural disasters that are not in 
accordance with NEPA requirements.
    Equivalent Standards.--The agreement encourages the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretaries of 
the Military Departments, to pursue the identification of 
equivalent host nation standards as an option to align U.S. and 
host country criteria and standards to improve project 
delivery, particularly in those countries where construction 
costs are escalating. Furthermore, the agreement encourages DOD 
construction agents and project sponsors to utilize equivalent 
standards as appropriate on DOD projects to the maximum extent 
possible.
    Federal, State and Local Intelligence Collaboration.--
Several states utilize National Guard Bureau (NGB) facilities 
for intelligence analysis and fusion centers. As previously 
indicated in Senate Report 115-130 and Senate Report 115-269, 
the Committees remain supportive of such collaborative co-
location projects particularly as it relates to the NGB's Joint 
Force Headquarters Analysis Cells concept. The Committees urge 
the Department and the NGB to prioritize needed workplace 
replacement projects, including Sensitive Compartmented 
Information Facility projects to conduct State and Federal 
intelligence analysis, in the fiscal year 2021 and future 
budget submissions.
    Child Development Centers (CDCs) and Quality of Life 
(QOL).--Adequate childcare is vitally important to 
servicemembers and their families, and the lack of Child 
Development Centers (CDCs) creates an unnecessary hardship for 
them. To address this shortfall, the agreement includes 
$11,000,000 in each of the Services' planning and design 
accounts to assist them in preparing for the construction of 
new CDCs at the most underserved military installations. In 
addition, the Committees expect the direction given in House 
Report 116-63 to be followed.
    Defense Access Roads.--Improving road safety at and around 
military facilities is an important part of maintaining and 
enhancing military readiness, and there is a concern that DOD's 
lack of future planning for Defense Access Roads (DAR) and 
transportation infrastructure needs around bases places 
servicemembers and their families at risk especially at Reserve 
bases. The agreement directs the Secretary of Defense in 
consultation with the Secretary of Transportation to prioritize 
all DAR certified roads and projects in the outyears 2021-2026. 
The agreement directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
list of planned DAR projects at active and reserve 
installations no later than 60 days after the enactment of this 
Act.

                      Military Construction, Army

    The agreement provides $1,178,499,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Army'', which is $275,000,000 below the budget 
request. Within this amount, the agreement provides 
$136,099,000 for study, planning, design, architect and 
engineer services, and host nation support. The agreement also 
provides an additional $11,000,000 above the request for 
planning and design for child development centers.
    Motorpools.-- The Committees look forward to receiving the 
report requested in House Report 116-63 regarding the 
modernization needs of motorpools that support the rapid 
deployment of armored combat units.
    Alaska Infrastructure Readiness Initiative.--The agreement 
recognizes that U.S. Army Pacific senior leaders proposed an 
Alaska Infrastructure Readiness Initiative to address 
identified deficiencies in infrastructure in Alaska and 
encourages the Army to pursue this initiative and provide 
biannual reports to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress on its progress.
    Range Expansion.--Recognizing the concern that the Army 
lacks adequate testing and range space to test new, increased 
range and capacity fires, and that it is currently in 
discussions with Yuma Proving Grounds to provide additional 
capability for testing, the agreement encourages the Army to 
continue this planning and propose necessary resources in 
future budgets to support this expansion.

              Military Construction, Navy and Marine Corps

    The agreement provides $2,449,632,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Navy and Marine Corps'', which is $356,111,000 
below the budget request. Within this amount, the agreement 
provides $178,715,000 for study, planning, design, architect 
and engineer services. The agreement also provides an 
additional $11,000,000 above the request for planning and 
design for child development centers.
    Fire and Emergency Services.--There is continued concern 
about the current state of fire and emergency services 
facilities at installations across the country. Installations 
such as Naval Support Activity Bethesda operate fire stations 
built more than 70 years ago and are unable to be modified to 
accommodate modern vehicles and fire trucks or provide the 
appropriate livable quarters. Many of the stations lack the 
appropriate fire suppression systems therefore rendering them 
unusable. The Department of the Navy is directed to plan and 
program sufficient funding to address fire and emergency 
services shortfalls in its fiscal year 2021-2025 future years 
defense program.
    Navy Pier Replacement Master Plan.--To address concerns 
that the Navy has not properly synchronized or prioritized pier 
replacement projects the agreement directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to provide to the congressional defense committees a 
report no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act on 
pier replacement projects in the fiscal years defense plan for 
2021-2025.
    Naval Shipyard Modernization.--The agreement supports the 
Department's Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Plan (SIOP) 
submitted to Congress in February 2018. The Committees continue 
to believe the Navy's assessment of public shipyard dry dock 
capacity is particularly important, as it identifies 68 
deferred maintenance availabilities under the status quo, 67 of 
which are restored upon making the public shipyard dry dock 
investments within the timeframe recommended by the plan. 
Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy is urged to prioritize 
the timely funding of public shipyard infrastructure, and in 
particular dry dock and shore infrastructure necessary to 
support critical maintenance of surface and submarine fleets by 
public shipyards.
    The SIOP also includes ongoing feasibility assessments on 
new concepts to improve shipyard maintenance efficiency. The 
Committees expect the Navy to continue to assess these new 
concepts without delaying construction improvements at the 
public shipyards for which Congress has already appropriated 
funding. As such, the Committees are disappointed that the Navy 
cancelled for a second time a project requested and 
appropriated for that would construct a dry dock waterfront 
facility (P214) prior to providing a realistic plan to address 
urgent safety issues and meet Pacific Fleet maintenance 
requirements. The agreement directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to develop a cost estimate for its dry dock production facility 
(DDPF) concept, and to provide a report within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act on the feasibility of programming and 
constructing the lead DDPF at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard as a 
replacement for P214. The agreement also directs the Secretary 
of the Navy to include in such report the planned sustainment, 
restoration, and modernization measures that will be undertaken 
to mitigate the effect of a further delayed replacement 
facility.
    New Platforms and Weapons Systems.--There is concern that 
the Department of the Navy's process to identify, plan, and 
budget for requirements to provide adequate shore facilities 
and infrastructure to support the deployment of new weapons 
systems is flawed and that projects requested by the Department 
do not include all facility and infrastructure requirements 
needed to support the weapons systems, leading to the need to 
alter the scope of the project or reprogram already scarce 
funds. Therefore, the agreement directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to provide a report within 180 days of enactment of this 
Act on the Department's processes and timelines for identifying 
the full range of infrastructure and range requirements 
associated with the life cycle support for major weapons 
systems, prior to the programming of those systems for 
procurement. Specifically, the report should address (1) the 
Department's processes and timelines associated with 
incorporating those requirements into the program of record, 
periodic reviews, and ultimately into annual budget 
submissions; (2) the review and evaluation of the risk 
associated with not funding certain requirements, to include 
the assessment of the costs of workarounds; (3) how, when, and 
to what extent organizations in the Department responsible for 
the management of facilities and shore infrastructure are 
incorporated into the process of identifying requirements and 
developing budget input prior to the fielding of new equipment; 
(4) the process to ensure that budget justification and 
periodic program reviews include work needed to provide 
adequate infrastructure, utilities, and other systems needed to 
support the weapons systems; and (5) any impediments in law or 
policy that impact the Department's ability to make decisions 
about infrastructure investments associated with major weapons 
system procurements.

                    Military Construction, Air Force

    The agreement provides $1,687,230,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Air Force'', which is $492,000,000 below the 
budget request. Within this amount, the agreement provides 
$153,148,000 for study, planning, design, architect and 
engineer services. The agreement also provides an additional 
$11,000,000 above the request for planning and design for child 
development centers.
    Defense Laboratory Modernization Pilot Program.--The 
agreement includes an additional $111,000,000 to support three 
Air Force laboratories located at Edwards AFB, Eglin AFB and 
Nellis AFB.
    Air Force Ballistic Missile Facilities.--There is concern 
about the Air Force's decision to defer missile alert facility 
(MAF) recapitalization until a Ground Based Strategic Deterrent 
(GBSD) design solution has matured. While it is not responsible 
to construct facilities that could soon be obsolete, the Air 
Force should more thoroughly examine whether recapitalization 
of MAFs is wholly incompatible with future GBSD design. The 
agreement urges the Air Force to invest sufficiently in the 
human component of the legacy weapons system and ensure 
adequate funding for MAF sustainment, and recapitalization, as 
necessary.
    The agreement also recognizes the importance of the Weapons 
Generation Facility (WGF) modernization program but remains 
concerned about execution delays, cost overruns, and the impact 
to follow on projects, which may experience similar challenges. 
The agreement encourages the Air Force to continue to follow 
its revised plan for construction and upgrades to the WGF 
enterprise and to provide quarterly briefings to update the 
Committees on status, requirements changes, and timelines for 
current and future projects associated with the WGF 
modernization program.
    Corrosion Control and Painting Facilities.--There is 
concern that the Air Force may not have adequate corrosion 
control and painting facilities to support the RQ-4 aircraft. 
For example, at Grand Forks Air Force Base, aircraft painting 
is contracted out due to a lack of facilities that can support 
these capabilities. Therefore, the agreement directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to report within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act on its capacity to perform corrosion 
control and painting activities for the RQ-4 aircraft, the 
outstanding infrastructure requirements needed to support these 
efforts, and whether these requirements can be met with 
facility sustainment, restoration, and modernization funding or 
military construction.

                  Military Construction, Defense-Wide


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $2,362,529,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Defense-Wide'', which is $141,661,000 below the 
budget request. Within this amount, the agreement provides 
$298,655,000 for study, planning, design, architect and 
engineer services.
    Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program 
(ERCIP).--The agreement provides $232,630,000 for ERCIP, an 
increase of $82,630,000 above the budget request to fund seven 
unfunded requirements of the program for energy resilience. 
Also, an additional $13,300,000 is provided under the Defense-
Wide planning and design account specifically for ERCIP. The 
Secretary of Defense is directed to submit to the congressional 
defense committees a spend plan for the additional ERCIP funds, 
to include the planning and design funds, no later than 30 days 
after enactment of this Act.
    Renewable Energy Systems, Energy Conservation, and Energy 
Policy.--The agreement supports the Department's efforts to 
improve energy resilience, improve mission assurance, save 
energy, and reduce energy costs. DOD must continue to increase 
the integration of alternative energy sources, particularly 
through renewable sources at all military facilities and 
installations. The Committees expect DOD to follow all 
directives provided in House Report 116-63 regarding Renewable 
Energy Systems, Energy Conservation, and Energy Policy.
    Fuel Storage Assurance.--The agreement recognizes the 
important role that assured access to adequate fuel has on the 
Joint Force's readiness and the challenges the Defense 
Logistics Agency will face funding fuel storage requirements 
from within its existing military construction account that 
accommodate future force structure and posture requirements, 
environmental regulations, and other changes affecting the 
Joint Force's fuel needs. No later than 180 days after 
enactment of this Act, the agreement directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a report assessing the feasibility of 
meeting future fuel storage infrastructure requirements in 
DOD's planning, programming, and budgeting process, using a 
Joint Force funding construct.

               Military Construction, Army National Guard

    The agreement provides $210,819,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Army National Guard'', which is the same as the 
budget request. Within this amount, the agreement provides 
$20,469,000 for study, planning, design, architect and engineer 
services.
    Readiness Center Transformation Master Plan.--The Army 
National Guard (ARNG) should continue to dedicate funding to 
implement the Readiness Center Transformation Master Plan. The 
Committees urge the Army and ARNG leadership to sufficiently 
budget for military construction so that sustained investment 
in Readiness Center transformation does not result in severely 
neglected operational facilities across the remaining 
infrastructure enterprise.
    Regional Training Institutes.--The Committees recognize the 
importance of Regional Training Institutes (RTI) across the 
country for the readiness of ARNG and are concerned about the 
lack of infrastructure to support the mission of the RTIs. For 
example, the RTI at Fort Hood is lacking sufficient facilities 
to provide the proper training to achieve optimum readiness. 
The Committees urge the Department of Defense to prioritize 
facilities for this important and vital mission of ARNG and 
Army Reserve.
    National Guard Training Center.--The Committees recognize 
the importance of the National Guard Texas Training Center, 
which has been in development since 2010 and has had execution 
delays. The Committees recognize that the Texas Training Center 
remains a high priority and the Texas Army National Guard shall 
continue its efforts to establish the Center. The agreement 
directs the Director of the Army National Guard to provide a 
progress report to the congressional defense committees no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.''

               Military Construction, Air National Guard

    The agreement provides $164,471,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Air National Guard'', which is $1,500,000 below 
the budget request. Within this amount, the agreement provides 
$17,000,000 for study, planning, design, architect and engineer 
services.
    MQ-9 Facilities.--Some Air National Guard MQ-9 units will 
require new operations facilities in the coming years to be 
able to continue executing the MQ-9 mission. The National Guard 
Bureau should continue to prioritize funding for necessary 
construction projects in future budget requests to avoid 
unnecessary risk to MQ-9 operations.

                  Military Construction, Army Reserve

    The agreement provides $60,928,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Army Reserve'', which is the same as the budget

Construction, Air Force Reserve'', which is the same as the 
budget request. Within this amount, the agreement provides 
$4,604,000 for study, planning, design, architect and engineer 
services.

     North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program

    The agreement provides $172,005,000 for the ``North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program'', an 
increase of $27,965,000 above the budget request.

               DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE ACCOUNT

    The agreement provides $398,526,000 for the ``Department of 
Defense Base Closure Account'', which is $120,000,000 above the 
budget request.
    The agreement provides an additional $60,000,000 for the 
Navy to accelerate environmental remediation at installations 
closed under previous Base Closure and Realignment rounds. 
Furthermore, the Navy shall provide to the Committees a spend 
plan for these additional funds no later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid 
(PFOA).--The agreement provides an additional $60,000,000 above 
the budget request to address PFOS and PFOA cleanup. The 
Secretary of Defense is directed to submit a spend plan no 
later than 60 days after enactment of this Act regarding the 
use of these additional funds.
    The Committees are concerned about the extent PFOS/PFOA 
contamination at U.S. military installations. While this 
division only covers military installations funded through the 
Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) account that are affected 
by PFOS/PFOA, the issue is not limited to the Department of 
Defense and affects many communities across the Nation. The 
Department is directed to engage the Environmental Protection 
Agency as it evaluates the need for a maximum containment 
level, as provided by the Safe Drinking Water Act, as well as 
designate these chemicals as hazardous under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, and to 
keep the Committees apprised of new findings of PFOS/PFOA at 
BRAC sites.

              [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]



                                TITLE II


                     DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


                       Items of Special Interest

    Notification of Allegations.--Reports of alleged negligence 
or criminal behavior by VA providers that may have resulted in 
serious health outcomes raise extreme concerns. In multiple 
cases, there were warning signs of reckless or illegal behavior 
that were not reported or acted upon in a timely manner and may 
have resulted in the death of multiple veterans. Therefore, the 
bill maintains a provision requiring the Department to develop 
a plan to reduce the chances that clinical mistakes by VA 
employees will result in adverse events that require 
institutional or clinical disclosures, as VA has not adequately 
addressed the requirement. The agreement directs the Secretary 
to develop processes and procedures for staff of medical 
facilities to report concerns to Veterans Integrated Service 
Network (VISN) and Departmental leaders for awareness and 
action, as well as procedures for expediting any remedial or 
follow-up care, an impact analysis, and a communication and 
education plan for making staff aware of the appropriate 
protocols. The agreement further directs the Department to 
report on this effort, as well as VA's recent commitment to 
retrain all Veterans Health Administration leadership and 
personnel, to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 
of Congress within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
    Blue Water Navy Veterans.--The agreement includes funds to 
address the personnel, support and Information Technology costs 
required to implement the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act 
of 2019 (Public Law 116-23) by January 1, 2020. Although the 
administration refused to submit a formal request for these 
funds, the Committees appreciate VA's efforts to prepare for 
this increase in complex cases and to prevent increases in the 
disability claims backlog.
    Transition from Active Duty to Civilian Life.--The 
Department is encouraged, in consultation with the Departments 
of Defense and Labor, to partner with community-built networks 
and non-profit programs, including faith-based programs, that 
provide wraparound employment and counseling services to 
veterans and their families, including high-risk veterans, to 
ensure they have a successful transition to civilian life.
    Contract Oversight.--The Department's lack of transparency 
in the contracting process, including reported incidents of 
willful misrepresentation of veteran or service-disabled 
veteran status for the purposes of winning Federal contract 
set-asides, remains a concern. The agreement directs the 
Department, in consultation with relevant agency partners, to 
provide any regulatory or legislative actions that would serve 
as further disincentives to this fraudulent behavior. Due to 
concern over the lack of visibility into contractor 
performance, the agreement requires the Department to submit to 
the Committees on Appropriations and Veterans' Affairs of both 
Houses of Congress notification whenever the Secretary provides 
notice to a contracted service provider that the service 
provider is failing to meet contractual obligations. At a 
minimum, the notification should include: (1) an explanation of 
the reasons for providing such notice; (2) a description of the 
effect of such failure, including with respect to cost, 
schedule, and requirements; (3) a description of the actions 
taken by the Secretary to mitigate such failure; and, (4) a 
description of the actions taken by the contractor to address 
such failure.
    Use of Authority to Convert Non-Medical Services to 
Contract Performance by Native Hawaiian Organizations or Indian 
Tribes.--Section 238 of the Energy and Water, Legislative 
Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs 
Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 115-244) maintained VA's 
authority to convert activities or functions of VBA, VHA, and 
NCA to contractor performance by businesses that are at least 
51 percent owned by one or more Indian tribes as defined in 
section 5304(e) of title 25, United States Code, or one or more 
Native Hawaiian Organizations as defined in section 637(a)(15) 
of title 15, United States Code. The agreement directs the 
Department to submit a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 180 
days after enactment of this Act detailing VA's use of this 
authority to date and its plan for using it in the future.
    Discontinued Use of Social Security Numbers.--Section 239 
of Public Law 115-244 required the Department to discontinue 
using Social Security account numbers to identify individuals 
in all information systems of the Department within 5 years for 
new claims and 8 years for all others. To date, the Department 
has not yet provided Congress with any information regarding 
its plan to implement this statutory requirement. The agreement 
directs the Department to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations and Veterans' Affairs of both Houses of Congress 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act a detailed timeline 
for implementation of this requirement and any budgetary 
requirements needed to carry it out.
    Security Risk Management.--Providing welcoming access to 
Department facilities while maintaining the necessary security 
is challenging. However, the Committees are concerned that the 
Department's current risk management policies and police 
governance processes are not sufficient to ensure medical 
facilities are adequately protected. The Department is urged to 
quickly implement the recommendations in the Office of 
Inspector General (OIG) report entitled, ``Inadequate 
Governance of the VA Police Program at Medical Facilities.''
    Debt Recoupment.--The Department has not yet developed a 
way to track debt incurred by an individual veteran, and how 
much of that debt is a result of processing delays or errors by 
VA. The agreement requires the Department to submit to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 
120 days of enactment of this Act a plan and timeline for 
tracking the cause of a debt incurred by a veteran. Further, 
the Department should consider that debt assigned to a veteran 
due to a delay or mistake in processing by VA or a VA employee 
is considered by the Committees, for purposes of tracking, to 
be an error by the Department.
    Unobligated Balances of Expired Discretionary Funds.--The 
agreement directs the Secretary to submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a report no later 
than April 15, 2020, and quarterly thereafter, detailing all 
unobligated balances of expired discretionary funds by fiscal 
year.

                    Veterans Benefits Administration


                       COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $118,246,975,000 for Compensation 
and Pensions in advance for fiscal year 2021. Of the amount 
provided, not more than $18,147,000 is to be transferred to 
General Operating Expenses, Veterans Benefits Administration 
(VBA) and Information Technology Systems for reimbursement of 
necessary expenses in implementing provisions of title 38. The 
agreement also provides $1,439,931,000 for fiscal year 2020 in 
addition to the advance appropriation provided last year based 
on the administration's estimate of claims under the Blue Water 
Navy Vietnam Veterans Act.

                         READJUSTMENT BENEFITS

    The agreement provides $12,578,965,000 for Readjustment 
Benefits in advance for fiscal year 2021.

                   VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES

    The agreement provides $129,224,000 for Veterans Insurance 
and Indemnities in advance for fiscal year 2021. The agreement 
also provides $17,620,000 for fiscal year 2020 in addition to 
the advance appropriation provided last year.

                 VETERANS HOUSING BENEFIT PROGRAM FUND

    The agreement provides such sums as may be necessary for 
costs associated with direct and guaranteed loans for the 
Veterans Housing Benefit Program Fund. The agreement limits 
obligations for direct loans to not more than $500,000 and 
provides that $200,377,391 shall be available for 
administrative expenses.

            VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

    The agreement provides $57,729 for the cost of direct loans 
from the Vocational Rehabilitation Loans Program Account, plus 
$401,880 to be paid to the appropriation for General Operating 
Expenses, Veterans Benefits Administration. The agreement 
provides for a direct loan limitation of $2,008,232.

              NATIVE AMERICAN HOUSING LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT

    The agreement provides $1,186,000 for administrative 
expenses of the Native American Veteran Housing Loan Program 
Account.

      GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES, VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION

    The agreement provides $3,125,000,000 for General Operating 
Expenses, Veterans Benefits Administration and, of the amount 
provided, not to exceed 10 percent is available for obligation 
until September 30, 2021.
    The agreement provides $125,000,000 above the request to 
hire additional claims and appellate staff and to meet the 
requirements to implement the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans 
Act. The agreement requires VA to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on a quarterly basis 
information related to claims considered under the Blue Water 
Navy Vietnam Veterans Act. This information should include 
timeliness measures as well as grant and denial rates for these 
claims. The agreement requires the Department to provide 
monthly updates on performance measures for each Regional 
Office.
    Veterans Transportation Program.--The agreement recognizes 
the importance of the Veterans Transportation Program and the 
role it plays in improving access to care by assisting Veterans 
in overcoming transportation barriers when accessing VHA 
services.
    Equitable Relief.--As described in House Report 116-63, the 
Secretary is directed to continue to grant or extend equitable 
relief to eligible veterans initially deemed eligible in 
instances of administrative error.
    Education Benefits.--The Committees are concerned about the 
levels of overpayments and improper payments being paid to GI 
Bill beneficiaries. The agreement directs VA to work with 
education stakeholders to ensure that veteran educational 
benefits are paid in a timely and accurate manner, and that 
efforts to recoup any overpayments or improper payments are 
fair and not overly burdensome on student veterans and their 
families. The agreement further directs VA, in collaboration 
with the Departments of Defense and Education, to provide an 
interagency report on the development and continued 
implementation of the Principles of Excellence, oversight of 
institutions complying with the Principles, and appropriate and 
timely accountability measures for educational programs 
receiving Federal funding. Lastly, the agreement directs the 
Department to continue to reform the compliance survey process 
to allow early detection of fraudulent marketing or predatory 
recruiting practices among institutions of higher learning, and 
to codify a set of tools that is sufficiently agile enough to 
curtail the behavior of scamming institutions.
    Education Data Collection and Sharing.--The Committees 
believe that both students and VA should be able to make more 
evidence-based decisions when it comes to veterans' education. 
The agreement directs the Department to work with the 
Departments of Education and Defense to ensure that there is a 
comprehensive database, or at a minimum, a set of data-sharing 
agreements in place between Federal entities involved in the 
administration of Federal resources related to veteran 
educational attainment. The agreement further directs the 
Department to provide an interagency report on the development 
and implementation of data-sharing agreements, and the uses and 
effectiveness of the data shared. The report must be completed 
and provided to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 
of Congress no later than 270 days after enactment of this Act.
    Gulf War Veterans Claims for Service-Connected Disability 
Compensation.--The Department's high rates of denial of Gulf 
War veterans' claims for undiagnosed illnesses and chronic 
multi-symptom illnesses continue to be concerning. The 
agreement directs the Department to continue to seek ways to 
improve the grant rate for disability claims and to better 
address the needs of those veterans suffering with undiagnosed 
illnesses and chronic multi-symptom illnesses after their Gulf 
War service.
    Medical Disability Exams.--Consistent with statute, the 
agreement directs the Department to ensure that any non-VA 
physician contracted to conduct medical disability examinations 
must have a current unrestricted license to practice as a 
physician, and is not barred from practicing in any State, the 
District of Columbia, or a Commonwealth, Territory, or 
possession of the United States.
    Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Service Counselor 
to Client Ratio.--The significant understaffing within 
rehabilitation programs negatively impacts veterans with a 
service-connected disability using these programs. The 
agreement encourages the Department to seek opportunities to 
expand staffing counselors in these critical areas in order to 
reach the ratio of 125 veterans to one full-time equivalent 
(FTE) position, and to provide the comprehensive individualized 
services that these veterans have earned.
    VetSuccess on Campus.--The agreement strongly encourages VA 
to continue to support the VetSuccess on Campus program and 
expand to additional schools.
    Anti-Recidivism Programs.--The agreement encourages VA to 
look for opportunities to partner with non-profit organizations 
that provide programs for incarcerated veterans to reduce the 
likelihood of recidivism. VA should consider partnering with 
organizations that provide combined services to veterans to 
support their transition out of incarceration to being 
productive members of the communities to which they return. As 
VA pursues these partnerships, the agreement encourages the 
establishment of metrics to measure the partnerships' 
effectiveness, including reduced recidivism rates among 
veterans.
    GI Bill Apprenticeships and On-the-Job-Training.--
Apprenticeships and on-the-job training (OJT) programs are 
important tools in teaching veterans valuable skills and aiding 
veterans in securing employment after transitioning from 
military service. However, these programs are largely 
underutilized by veterans. The agreement directs VA to provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 
of Congress no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act 
to update the Committees on the Department's efforts to promote 
awareness and increased utilization of apprenticeships and OJT, 
including VA's plans for tracking data on program outcomes, 
such as employment and income information, as well as 
information concerning any funding needs or necessary 
legislative changes to ensure these programs' success.

                     Veterans Health Administration

    Importance of In-House VA Care.--As VA continues to 
implement the John S. McCain III, Daniel K. Akaka, and Samuel 
R. Johnson VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening 
Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act of 2018 (Public Law 
115-182), the Committees recognize the vital role of VA's 
healthcare facilities in serving the unique needs of veterans. 
VA's medical centers, community-based outpatient centers, and 
other facilities provide veterans with necessary services -- 
such as audiology, prosthetics, mental health services for 
post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, and 
rehabilitation services for spinal cord injuries--that are 
highly specialized and at which VA often has more expertise 
than community providers. Veterans overwhelmingly report they 
are satisfied with the care they receive at VA healthcare 
facilities. Research has also consistently shown that VA 
produces as good, if not better, health outcomes as the private 
sector. In addition, VA healthcare facilities play a critical 
role in our Nation's health system in training new doctors, 
nurses, and other medical providers; conducting lifesaving 
medical research; providing nationwide emergency preparedness 
support; and innovating many best practices in healthcare 
delivery. The Committees, therefore, stress the importance of 
VA continuing to fully fund, fully staff, and appropriately 
maintain its healthcare facilities, even as the VA MISSION Act 
is implemented. The agreement requires VA to continue to 
enhance the services provided in its facilities to ensure that 
VA healthcare continues to be of the quality and effectiveness 
that veterans have come to expect.
    VA MISSION Act.--The agreement provides $8,908,585,000 in 
fiscal year 2020 and $11,291,827,000 in fiscal year 2021, 
consistent with the budget request, to implement the VA MISSION 
Act. The agreement fully funds the Department's request in 
order to provide greater access to timely and quality care for 
veterans, both in VA and in the community, but is interested in 
closely monitoring the financial impact of the access 
standards.
    The agreement directs the Department to submit quarterly 
reports to the Committees on: (1) the number of veterans served 
by each authority for care outlined in section 1703(d) of title 
38, United States Code (i.e., the Department does not offer the 
care, the Department does not operate a full-service medical 
facility in the State in which the covered veteran resides, 
etc.); (2) the cost of such care broken out by the authorities 
in section 1703(d); and (3) the timeliness of care, on average. 
In addition, the agreement directs the Department to submit 
monthly reports to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress identifying available resources, 
obligations, authorizations, and anticipated funding needs. 
These monthly reports should include the Veterans Choice Fund 
balances and clearly show funds from the Veterans Choice Fund 
used to support new non-VA care authorizations since June 6, 
2019. The reports should also include detail on the timing of 
authorization of care and the obligation of funds.
    Allocations.--The Committees remind the Department, in 
accordance with the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying 
Public Law 115-244, that it was directed to consult with the 
Committees on Appropriations and Veterans Affairs of both 
Houses of Congress before any future attempts are made to 
realign Specific Purpose funding to General Purpose funding, 
and that such future realignments must be proposed in an annual 
budget submission. No such consultation occurred, and the 
fiscal year 2020 budget submission did not reflect any 
conversion of funding. Therefore, the agreement directs that 
the Department not convert any Special Purpose funding to 
General Purpose funding in fiscal year 2020.
    Joint National Intrepid Spirit Center.--The agreement 
directs the VA/DOD Health Executive Committee to provide a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act on 
the Departments' collaborative efforts related to traumatic 
brain injury (TBI) care, research and education to improve the 
quality of and access to TBI care, and the pros and cons of 
establishing a joint DOD/VA Intrepid Spirit Center that serves 
both the active duty and veteran populations for the mutual 
benefit and growth in treatment and care. The report should 
include an analysis of how better to serve servicemembers and 
veterans with TBI in areas with limited access to TBI care 
(i.e., rural areas), including the establishment of a joint 
DOD/VA Intrepid Spirit Center in such an area. The report must 
include an analysis of existing DOD medical facilities that 
partner with VA, existing warrior transition units or similar 
units that support active duty servicemembers who require 
comprehensive care, and academic institutions specializing in 
Polytrauma/TBI in geographic locations without an existing 
National Intrepid Center of Excellence or Intrepid Spirit 
Center. In addition, the report should propose metrics that 
demonstrate short-term as well as long-term (i.e., 6 to 24 
months) program effectiveness, including sustainability of 
patient independence by geographic area, a plan to collect 
longitudinal data to analyze longer-term effects, and the 
financial requirements to establish and maintain such a Center.
    Prompt Payment.--The Committees remain committed to 
supporting VA's efforts to ensure timely reimbursement for non-
VA healthcare providers and facilities that provide necessary 
care for our veterans. The agreement encourages the Department 
to provide strong oversight and improve timely payment to non-
VA providers. The agreement also urges VA to facilitate the 
completion of all outstanding reimbursements as promptly as 
possible.
    Public-Private Partnerships.--The Department's research 
investment could be expanded to leverage non-Federal 
initiatives that provide the opportunity for strong co-location 
of VA and university biomedical scientists for translational 
investigation, which has high potential for precision medicine 
outcomes for wounded warriors and other high-risk veteran 
populations. The agreement notes the high concentration of VA 
research enterprises on the Nation's two coasts and urges the 
Under Secretary for Health to expedite consideration of 
proposals for the Department to lease space from research 
complexes where there is multi-disciplinary investigation 
related to veterans and wounded warriors, including medicine, 
engineering and veterinary science. Such consideration should 
be timely to inform action in the fiscal year 2021 budget.
    Medical Center Internet Access.--The Committees believe 
that having access to WiFi and the internet at VA medical 
facilities is important, and while many VA facilities provide 
internet access in certain specific locations, access is not 
provided to inpatient treatment rooms or waiting areas across 
the campus. The agreement directs the Department to assess 
internet coverage for veterans and guests across facilities, 
and to report on the current status of internet access, the 
cost estimates for expanding internet coverage to all 
appropriate locations at VA facilities, and the infrastructure 
and cyber security requirements to support such expansion. The 
report must be provided to the Committees on Appropriations of 
both Houses of Congress within 180 days of enactment of this 
Act.
    Veterans Health Administration Staffing Model.--It is 
critical that VHA develop a staffing model to better understand 
and more quickly address staffing needs across the 
organization, particularly in critical need occupations. The 
agreement directs OIG to review VHA's progress in developing a 
comprehensive staffing model and timeline for implementation. 
The agreement further directs OIG to meet with the Committees 
within 30 days of enactment of this Act to discuss details of 
the planned study.
    Emergency Room Claims.--The United States Court of Appeals 
for Veterans Claims decided in Wolfe v. Wilkie that VA was 
responsible for reimbursing veterans inappropriately denied 
payment for emergency care obtained outside of the VA system. 
The agreement directs the Department to undertake a review of 
post-April 8, 2016, rejected and denied emergency care claims, 
and to explore the feasibility of reviewing claims rejected or 
denied prior to that date. Further, the agreement directs the 
Department to examine what it can do to mitigate the financial 
damage done to those veterans whose unpaid emergency care 
claims were sent to a collection agency and now have damaged 
credit. Finally, the agreement directs the Department to 
provide a detailed plan for how it will re-adjudicate 
inappropriately denied post-April 8, 2016 claims; describe 
whether and how it will review claims denied or rejected before 
that date; provide an analysis of how it came to that 
conclusion; and describe steps it will take to mitigate damage 
done to veterans' credit within 90 days of enactment of the 
Act. The Committees expect that the Department will implement 
measures to avoid similar outcomes in the future.
    Reporting on VA Healthcare Facilities for Treatment of 
Women.--The agreement directs the Department to submit a report 
to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 
no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, and annually 
thereafter, with the following information: the number of 
facilities in each model of delivery of care to women (by VISN 
and by State); the criteria used to determine which model is 
most appropriate for each facility; the triggers or criteria to 
upgrade facilities to the next higher model; plans, if any, to 
upgrade facilities from the lowest model (General Primary Care 
Clinics) to a higher model within planned Strategic Capital 
Investment Planning (SCIP) investments; and whether VA has a 
plan or goal for how many facilities should fall into each of 
the models of care.

                            MEDICAL SERVICES

    The agreement provides $56,158,015,000 in advance for 
fiscal year 2021 for Medical Services and makes $1,500,000,000 
of the advance available through fiscal year 2022. The 
agreement includes bill language requiring the Secretary to 
ensure that sufficient amounts are available for the 
acquisition of prosthetics designed specifically for female 
veterans. Of the amounts provided, the agreement provides that 
at least $585,000,000 shall be dedicated to gender-specific 
care for women.

                           Caregivers Support

    The agreement includes $710,000,000 for VA's Caregivers 
Program, which VA is expected to dedicate to the Caregivers 
Program and not divert resources to other areas. The Department 
should note that notification should be provided to the 
Committees of any attempts to reprogram this funding.
    Expansion and Support for Caregivers.--The Caregivers 
Program was enhanced as part of the VA MISSION Act, and the 
Department is expected to carry out this expansion according to 
the statutory timeline, and to fully staff the program, 
including ensuring that the Caregiver Coordinators at each 
Medical Center are fully resourced and, to the maximum extent 
possible, assigned designated caregiver duties as their chief 
and only responsibility. The agreement directs VA to provide 
quarterly projections and monthly expenditure reports for the 
Caregivers Program to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress. These reports should also highlight any 
changes to the implementation schedule due to the Department's 
decision-making delays, as well as the timing of information 
technology requirements.
    Additionally, the Committees are concerned by recent 
actions of the Department to implement policy changes that 
would limit eligibility of veterans and caregivers or curtail 
the support services provided to them. Any steps to limit 
eligibility are rejected by the Congress and the agreement 
directs the Department to submit a report detailing 
justification no later than 180 days prior to any changes in 
eligibility criteria not made as a result of public law.
    The Committees recognize that many caregivers for severely 
wounded veterans face a reduction in outside earnings, 
resulting in difficulties meeting financial obligations, 
including student loan debt held by the caregiver. The 
agreement directs the Department to survey all caregivers 
currently in the program who seek the financial planning 
services required under the VA MISSION Act, in order to 
identify the number possessing outstanding student loan debt, 
and to develop a plan to monitor this issue, including 
providing counseling related to student loan and other debt 
management, under such financial planning services to 
caregivers required by the VA MISSION Act.

                             Mental Health

    Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.--The agreement 
provides $9,432,833,000 in discretionary funds for mental 
health programs, which is $20,000,000 above the budget request, 
and includes $221,765,000 for suicide prevention outreach. The 
Secretary is directed to make any necessary improvements to 
Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) operations including, but not 
limited to, ensuring appropriate staffing for call centers and 
back-up centers, providing necessary training for VCL staff, 
and ensuring that staff are able to appropriately and 
effectively respond to the needs of veterans needing 
assistance. The Secretary is also directed to provide the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a 
report, no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, 
which contains an update detailing findings on the outcomes and 
efficacy of the VCL from the Veterans Crisis Line Study Act of 
2017.
    The agreement also maintains the direction provided in 
House Report 116-63 for VA to implement a safety plan to 
address parking lot suicides and expand the Coaching Into Care 
program, remove barriers that impact a veteran's ability to 
receive mental healthcare, and implement a program to educate 
local law enforcement on how to deal with veterans during a 
mental health crisis. This report should also address the 
status of recommendations from the OIG following investigations 
of specific suicides on VA campuses.
    In addition, the agreement directs the Department to 
provide a report no later than 60 days after enactment, and 
quarterly thereafter, a detailed expenditure plan for suicide 
outreach and treatment programs, how VA is meeting the 
Committees' directives, and updates on obligations to date. 
Furthermore, the agreement directs the Department to staff 
every VA Medical Center with at least one suicide prevention 
coordinator.
    National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.--The 
agreement supports the mission and work of the National Center 
for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and has provided 
$40,000,000, which includes $10,000,000 for the coordination of 
the VA National PTSD Brain Bank, to continue the center's 
advancement of the clinical care and social welfare of 
America's veterans, through research, education, and training 
in the science, diagnosis, and treatment of PTSD and stress-
related disorders.
    PREVENTS Initiative.--The agreement includes $3,000,000 for 
VA's efforts to coordinate veteran suicide prevention efforts 
under the Presidential Task Force established under the 
PREVENTS Initiative, as directed in House Report 116-63.
    Expansion of Mental Health Benefits to Guard and 
Reservists.--The agreement acknowledges the importance of 
providing mental healthcare to all warfighters, which includes 
Guard and Reservists. The Committees recognize that these 
individuals may benefit from access to mental health services 
provided by VA--including suicide prevention services--even if 
they were not activated under Federal orders. Therefore, the 
agreement directs the Department to provide a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 180 days after enactment of this Act on the 
feasibility of extending access to these services to all 
members of the National Guard and Reserves, regardless of their 
Federal activation status. This report shall include the costs 
associated with this effort, an estimate of the impact on 
capacity, as well as any relevant legislative language needed 
to accomplish this goal.
    Reduce Suicide, Relapse, and Hospital Visits.--The 
agreement encourages VA to consider the use of cutting-edge, 
off-the-shelf technology and pharmacy management protocols as 
tools to reduce suicide, relapse and hospital visits by 
veterans treated for mental health issues, including PTSD and 
TBI.
    Vets Corps.--The agreement provides up to $2,500,000 to 
carry out the direction provided in House Report 116-63 
regarding Vets Corps.
    REACH Veteran in Crisis Initiative.--The agreement supports 
the Recovery Engagement and Coordination for Health--Veterans 
Enhanced Treatment (REACH VET) program. The Department is 
encouraged to work in partnership with the Department of 
Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory to update and improve 
predictive models and expand the use of predictive analytics 
for decision support and identification of veterans in need and 
at risk.
    Prescription Practices.--The June 2019 GAO report, ``VA 
Mental Health: VHA Improved Certain Prescribing Practices, but 
Needs to Strengthen Treatment Plan Oversight'' (GAO-19-465) 
reviewed how mental health treatment decisions are made by 
providers in VA Medical Centers and monitored by VHA. The 
agreement directs the Department to submit a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, detailing 
progress towards implementing the GAO recommendations in this 
report.
    Sleep Disorders.--Senate Report 115-269, which accompanied 
the FY 2019 appropriations, included a recommendation for the 
Department to assign a program manager for sleep disorders. The 
Department indicated it would make a determination upon 
completion of the Healthcare Analytics and Information Group's 
survey of existing resources and practices. The agreement 
directs the Department to provide an update on this review and 
recommendation to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress no later than June 30, 2020.

                          Homeless Assistance

    The agreement provides $1,847,466,000 for homeless 
assistance programs, which is $28,932,000 above the budget 
request. This includes $380,000,000 for the Supportive Services 
for Veteran Families program; $408,300,000 for the Housing and 
Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-
VASH) program case management; $250,000,000 for the Grant and 
Per Diem Program; and $69,107,000 for the Veterans Justice 
Outreach Program.
    Homeless Women Veterans.--The Secretary is directed to 
report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress within 180 days of enactment of this Act on the 
growing number of women veterans who are homeless or unstably 
housed and the programs intended to serve them. The report 
should identify if and how the programs are failing and include 
a plan to address any deficiencies.
    Veteran Homeless Report.--The Secretary is directed to 
prepare a report in consultation with DOD and the U.S. 
Interagency Council on Homelessness on the progress made to 
date to ensure servicemembers identified through the Transition 
Assistance Program process as lacking viable housing options 
receive appropriate housing-related assistance. The report 
shall be provided to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress within 120 days of enactment of this Act and 
include: 1) data for fiscal years 2018 and 2019; 2) the number 
and percentage of transitioning servicemembers who are 
evaluated as not having a viable post-transition housing plan; 
3) and of those, a) the number and percentage who receive a 
warm handover from DOD to VA; b) the number who received 
services from appropriate VA homeless program staff; and c) and 
are identified as experiencing homelessness.
    Limited Affordable Housing.--The Secretary is directed to 
provide an update on the effects of limited affordable housing 
opportunities on the Department's homeless programs in rural 
communities. The report also should include recommendations on 
ways the Department and local housing entities can better 
partner to ensure access to housing for veterans in rural and 
high-cost urban areas and be provided to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF).--Although 
funds were appropriated, the Department's policy decisions led 
to fluctuations in funding to grantees and possible gaps in 
services being provided. The agreement provides for at least 
$380,000,000 in grant awards in fiscal year 2020 and encourages 
the Department to plan for $400,000,000 in fiscal year 2021 to 
expand to other locations to address gaps in services, as 
appropriate. The Secretary is directed to submit a report 
describing the effectiveness of the SSVF program; results of 
the gap analysis; and a plan to expand the program, as 
appropriate, to address service gaps within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act to the Committees on Appropriations of 
both Houses of Congress.
    HUD-VASH.--Due to concerns the Department is not properly 
staffing its HUD-VASH program to meet the needs of changing 
homeless populations, the Secretary is directed to submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress within 90 days of enactment of this Act. The report 
shall include details regarding: 1) the process by which each 
VA medical center fills their HUD-VASH case management 
positions; 2) the current ratio of HUD-VASH case managers to 
veterans for each VA medical center; 3) a list of all vacant 
specific purpose-funded positions to support the HUD-VASH 
program; 4) steps taken to recruit and retain case managers for 
this program; 5) a list of VA Medical Centers where HUD-VASH 
cases are being contracted out; 6) a list of the current 
allocations of HUD-VASH vouchers by State; 7) a list of 
requests for additional HUD-VASH vouchers received by the 
Department and the outcome of such requests; and 8) efforts 
currently underway to assist HUD-VASH case management in highly 
rural areas.
    Homeless Providers Grants Per Diem (GPD) Program.--The 
agreement supports the Department's goal of a systemic end to 
veteran homelessness and agrees that service-intensive 
transitional housing provided through VA's GPD Program is an 
important tool in this effort. The agreement provides 
$250,000,000, an increase of $23,932,000 over the request, for 
GPD. The most appropriate mix of housing services for veterans 
should be determined locally through a collaborative process 
including local housing partners, service providers, and VA 
medical centers, and VA should continue to make funding 
available for GPD beds based on this process. The Department is 
directed to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations 
of both Houses of Congress no later than 180 days after 
enactment of this Act on the contingency/remediation plans that 
current providers serving rural or highly rural areas have for 
veterans that may be affected by changes in availability or the 
loss of GPD Program funds that would result in the loss of 
their access to transitional housing assistance.
    Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) Program.--The agreement 
provides $5,000,000 over the budget request to support the VJO 
Program and its goal to prevent homelessness and avoid the 
unnecessary criminalization of mental illness and extended 
incarceration among veterans by ensuring eligible veterans 
encountered by police, and in jails or courts, have timely 
access to VA services, including mental health, substance 
abuse, and homeless programs.

                           Clinical Workforce

    Healthcare Workforce.--VHA's ability to recruit and retain 
quality clinical and support staff remains a concern. 
Accordingly, the agreement directs the Department to comply 
with GAO's recommendations to improve staffing, recruitment, 
and retention strategies for clinicians.
    Mental Health Staffing.--There is a growing need for mental 
health professionals, and VA should maintain appropriate mental 
health staffing levels to provide veterans timely, effective, 
high-quality care. The agreement directs the Department to 
prioritize the hiring of mental health professionals and to 
keep the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress apprised on a quarterly basis on meeting its hiring 
goals, including actions taken to improve recruitment and 
retention across the country, and specifically in rural areas. 
This report should include updates to the ratio of faculty 
staff to outpatient mental health veterans being treated for 
mental health needs.
    Rural Recruitment.--To improve recruitment and retention 
initiatives for healthcare providers in rural and highly rural 
areas the agreement urges the Department to conform with the 
recommendations contained in GAO report, GAO-181-24. The 
agreement directs the Department to provide a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act on the status of 
compliance with these recommendations.
    Credentialing.--The agreement strongly encourages VA to 
expand the Military Transition and Training Advancement Course 
nationally in order to facilitate the recruitment of separating 
military personnel who served in the healthcare field. The 
agreement directs VHA to identify remaining barriers to 
expediting the credentialing process for qualified licensed 
personnel, and to report on such barriers and limitations to 
the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 
within 180 days after enactment of this Act.
    In addition, a recent GAO report found that greater focus 
on credentialing is needed to prevent disqualified providers 
from delivering patient care. The agreement urges the Secretary 
to implement the GAO recommendations to improve Departmental 
oversight over VHA facility credentialing policies. The 
agreement directs the Department to provide a progress report 
on implementation of such recommendations to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 60 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    Orthotics & Prosthetics Workforce.--The sustainability of 
the orthotics and prosthetics workforce treating veterans, 
particularly given an aging workforce with imminent retirements 
as well as a lack of availability of advanced degree programs 
necessary to train new professionals is a concern. VHA's 
Orthotic and Prosthetic Residency Program provides rotation 
opportunities through the VA system, but this program alone is 
inadequate to ensure a sustainable workforce for the future, 
especially in light of the skill set necessary to provide the 
increasingly complex, state-of-the-art orthotics and 
prosthetics care for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. The 
agreement directs VA to work with outside industry experts to 
survey and examine the latest data available on the current 
extent of orthotics and prosthetics care provided outside of VA 
facilities and provide projections on requirements over the 
next decade based on overall population growth among veterans 
with orthotics and prosthetics needs. This information is to be 
reported to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
    Physician Assistants.--VA has failed to utilize existing 
authorities to hire and retain Physician Assistants (PAs). As 
such, the agreement directs VA to accelerate the rollout of 
competitive pay for PAs, to develop a plan on how to better 
utilize the Health Professional Scholarship Program and 
Education Debt Reduction Program, and to develop a staffing 
plan on how to utilize PAs within the Department.
    Medical Staff Retention.--The agreement expands upon the 
Medical Staff Retention reports directed in House Report 116-
63. In addition, the Department is directed to submit a report 
to the Committees on Appropriations and Veterans' Affairs of 
both Houses of Congress within 90 days detailing compliance 
with its policy to (1) conduct reviews of each healthcare 
provider of the Department who transfers to another medical 
facility of the Department, resigns, retires, or is terminated 
to determine whether there are any concerns, complaints, or 
allegations of violations relating to the medical practice of 
the healthcare provider; and (2) to take appropriate action 
with respect to any such concern, complaint, or allegation. The 
Department previously informed Congress it was implementing an 
auditing tool to require medical facilities to certify 
compliance with these policies to their respective VISN 
leadership. The agreement requests that a summary of this 
auditing tool also be included in this report.
    VA/DOD Clinical Practice Guidelines.--The Departments of 
Veterans Affairs and Defense have created VA/DOD Clinical 
Practice Guidelines for many conditions that affect both 
veterans and active duty servicemembers. Currently, VA and DOD 
do not have guidelines for the comorbidity of trauma (e.g., 
PTSD, TBI, Military Sexual Trauma) and substance use disorder 
or chronic pain, despite the fact that many veterans and active 
duty servicemembers are suffering from multiple conditions. It 
is crucial that frontline clinicians are informed about the 
most effective treatments for these conditions when they are 
co-occurring. The agreement strongly encourages VA and DOD to 
work together to create Clinical Practice Guidelines for the 
treatment of trauma, including PTSD, TBI, and Military Sexual 
Trauma, that is comorbid with substance use disorder or chronic 
pain.

                            Rural Healthcare

    Office of Rural Health.--The agreement notes that veterans 
residing in rural and remote areas face unique barriers to 
receiving high-quality mental health, primary healthcare, and 
specialty care services. While enhanced community care programs 
offer veterans increased flexibility to obtain care close to 
home, often this same gap in services exists in the private 
market in rural and remote communities. Over the past 10 years, 
the Office of Rural Health (ORH) and its Rural Health 
Initiative has played a critical role in assisting VA in its 
efforts to increase access to care. Therefore, the agreement 
provides $300,000,000 for ORH and the Rural Health Initiative.
    The agreement supports Rural Health Resource Centers, 
operated by ORH, and encourages the Department to increase the 
number of these centers. Any expansion should also emphasize 
increasing access to healthcare for women veterans, treating 
traumatic brain injuries, and recruiting and retaining 
healthcare providers to serve rural and remote areas.
    The agreement also encourages continued operation of a 
nurse advice line at all VA medical centers, including 
facilities serving rural areas and highly rural areas, as a way 
to reach a large percentage of veteran enrollees. The agreement 
further supports the continuation of the efforts of the 
Department's Community Clergy Training to Support Rural 
Veterans Mental Health Initiative. The Department is urged to 
increase the financial resources made available in order to 
increase accessibility of this initiative to rural communities.
    The Department is reminded of the directions regarding 
rural transportation included in House Report 116-63.
    Rural Health Continuity of Care.--The Committees note the 
Access Received Closer to Home (ARCH) pilot program was highly 
successful in some areas in providing healthcare services to 
veterans who live in the rural and highly rural States in which 
it operated, and that veterans who received medical care 
through the ARCH pilot program were ``completely satisfied'' 
with their care and cited significantly shortened travel and 
wait times to receive care. As the Department transitions to a 
new community care program established by the VA MISSION Act, 
the agreement encourages the Secretary to sustain continuity of 
care for rural veterans through provider agreements, based on 
previous models such as the ARCH program, to ensure veterans do 
not experience a lapse in existing healthcare access during the 
transition to the new community care program and any resulting 
integrated networks. The Committees continue to support 
enabling the Department to enter into provider agreements with 
non-VA long-term care providers, including skilled nursing 
facilities.
    Home-Based Primary Care.--The agreement supports the 
collaboration between VA and the Indian Health Service (IHS) 
and collaboration by Federal agencies with Tribes to expand 
access to care for Native veterans, including the recent 
expansion of evidence-based home-based primary care (HBPC) 
programs at 14 VA medical centers. This expansion is designed 
to reach new populations of American Indian veterans living in 
rural reservation communities, which are served by medical 
facilities operated directly by IHS or by Tribes and Tribal 
organizations with funding provided by IHS. The agreement urges 
the Secretary to increase funding within ORH to expand HBPC 
programs to additional American Indian reservations and to 
other rural areas, and to continue to improve planning 
coordination with other Federal healthcare organizations. 
Planning efforts should take into account conducting a 
population-based needs assessment and allowing sufficient time 
to develop trusting relationships with Native veterans, Tribal 
health and social service personnel, IHS and Tribal community 
health representatives, and Tribal communities. Planning 
efforts should also consider availability of IHS and Tribal 
resources for patients, as well as identify potential 
opportunities for co-management to prevent unintended 
duplication of effort, over-prescribing of medications, and 
other inefficiencies.

                     GENDER-SPECIFIC CARE FOR WOMEN

    Gender-Specific Care for Women.--The agreement provides 
$585,000,000 for gender-specific care for women, which is 
$38,486,000 over the budget request. The agreement directs VA 
to continue redesigning its women's healthcare delivery system 
and facilities to ensure women receive equitable, timely, and 
high-quality healthcare. The agreement further directs VA to 
prioritize hiring women primary care providers and 
psychologists for women clinics, employees for women-specific 
services, and women peer support specialists. The agreement 
directs women's health program managers to be full-time jobs 
and not to be tasked with supplemental responsibilities outside 
their specified job descriptions. The agreement supports the 
expansion of the Women's Health Mini-Residency program.

       OPIOID SAFETY INITIATIVES AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER CARE

    To continue to build upon opioid reduction efforts and 
safety initiatives, the agreement includes $402,000,000 for 
Opioid Prevention and Treatment programs at VA. This includes 
$345,946,000 for prevention and treatment programs, and 
$56,054,000 to continue implementation of the Comprehensive 
Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-198).
    Office of Patient Advocacy.--The Committees believe that 
the Jason Simcakoski Memorial and Promise Act's (Title IX, 
Public Law 114-198) establishment of the Office of Patient 
Advocacy will ensure that patient advocates put the interests 
of the veterans they serve first, not the interests of the 
facility. Accordingly, within 90 days of enactment, the 
agreement directs the Department to provide a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations and Veterans' Affairs of both 
Houses of Congress on its progress implementing the relevant 
sections of Public Law 114-198, including progress on all six 
recommendations from GAO's April 2018 report (GAO-18-356), and 
the specific training and instructions Patient Advocates are 
given to escalate a concern outside of a VA facility when they 
believe a VA facility is not acting in the best interest of the 
veteran.
    Improvement of Opioid Safety Initiative.--The Committees 
support VA's Opioid Safety Initiative (OSI) and encourage 
continued implementation at all VA medical facilities, as 
directed under the Jason Simcakoski Memorial and Promise Act. 
The Committees acknowledge overall improvements in opioid 
safety at VA and believe that it is imperative that all VA 
providers who prescribe opioids continue to consistently use 
the Opioid Therapy Risk Report tool under the OSI. In May 2018, 
GAO submitted report GAO-18-380 to Congress detailing the 
Department's progress made towards improving opioid safety, and 
VA set a target date of April 2019 to satisfy and closeout the 
five recommendations. The agreement directs the Department to 
submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations and 
Veterans' Affairs of both Houses of Congress detailing the 
actions to address each finding and recommendation made by this 
report within 90 days of enactment of this Act. Additionally, 
this should include a report on efforts to ensure that VA 
medical centers have established an additional control 
procedure, in accordance with GAO recommendations to improve 
oversight of the controlled substance inspection program.
    Furthermore, to ensure that VA physicians have equal 
opportunity to prescribe effective, lower risk, safer Schedule 
III (CIII) opioids before prescribing highly potent and 
addictive Schedule II opioids, the agreement recommends that 
the Pharmacy Benefits Management Services consider clarifying 
guidance related to dispensing CIII opioids.
    Community Care Opioid Safety.--The Committees recognize 
that VA has made important progress increasing opioid safety 
and reducing overprescribing within the VA healthcare system. 
However, the Department still needs to make comparable progress 
implementing opioid safety reforms in VA community care 
programs. The July 2017 OIG report (VA OIG 17-01846-316) on 
opioid prescribing in VA community care programs provides 
further evidence that veterans receiving opioid therapy from 
community care providers are at significant risk, due to lack 
of consistent tracking and limited awareness of VA opioid 
therapy and safe prescribing protocols. The agreement directs 
the Department to provide a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations and Veterans' Affairs of both Houses of Congress 
on implementation of all OIG recommendations and statutory 
requirements within the VA MISSION Act within 90 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    VA participation in State Prescription Drug Monitoring 
Programs, as required in the VA Prescription Data 
Accountability Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-144), is a critical 
component to an effort to ensure a patient's prescription 
history is available to all prescribers. No later than February 
1, 2021, the agreement directs VA to submit a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 
identifying progress toward full participation in State 
Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs during calendar year 
2020, broken out by VISN and Medical Facility. The agreement 
also encourages VA, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to 
share prescription drug information with other Federal medical 
facilities that may serve veterans, including DOD medical 
facilities and Indian Health Service facilities.
    Complementary and Integrative Health.--Expanding access to 
comprehensive pain management and complementary and integrative 
health (CIH) services is vital to improving the delivery of 
high-quality care for veterans. The agreement urges robust 
implementation of VA's plan to expand the scope of research, 
education, delivery, and integration of CIH into the healthcare 
services provided to veterans, and as required under section 
932 of the Jason Simcakoski Memorial and Promise Act, VA must 
continue to prioritize implementation of the pilot program at 
VA medical centers, including polytrauma rehabilitation 
centers, to assess the feasibility and advisability of delivery 
using wellness-based programs to complement pain management and 
related healthcare services. The Department is encouraged to 
continue to expand access to CIH services as part of the VA's 
Whole Health System approach.
    Substance Use Disorder Care.--The Committees support VA's 
ongoing efforts to reduce wait times for substance use disorder 
(SUD) treatment by balancing nationwide care within the 
Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Programs (RRTP). However, 
the Committees are aware that the median wait time between 
screening and admission for non-priority SUD RRTP care remained 
unacceptably high. The agreement urges the Department to 
improve efforts to address the uneven and limited distribution 
of inpatient addiction crisis detoxification beds that employ a 
medical/psychosocial approach, a supply of Medication Assisted 
Treatment including availability of appointments for veteran 
access to buprenorphine, alternative co-adjuvant therapies to 
reduce anxiety, and mobile tools aimed at concurrent recovery 
and relapse prevention. The agreement urges the Department to 
expand existing successful model behavioral-health programs in 
partnership with community providers in high-demand treatment 
areas with proven, veteran-specific, evidence-based, one-stop-
shop (integrated), SUD treatment that go beyond basic ``shelter 
care.'' These public-private partnerships should encompass the 
full continuum of care for veterans suffering from SUD 
(detoxification/recovery, sober housing), and those at risk of 
suicide due to SUD. Additionally, the agreement directs the 
Department to provide a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress, within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, that shall include average wait times 
for priority, routine and residential SUD care; the results of 
efforts to balance RRTP availability; projected RRTP wait times 
for fiscal years 2020 and 2021; and plans to scale successful 
evidence-based, integrated SUD care model programs.
    Overmedication of Veterans.--In fiscal year 2018, the 
Congress provided $500,000 for VA to enter into an agreement 
with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and 
Medicine (NASEM) to conduct an assessment of the potential 
overmedication of veterans during fiscal years 2010 to 2017 
that led to suicides, deaths, mental disorders, and combat-
related traumas. Though the Committees are frustrated that, 
rather than conducting a study, the Department used the full 
amount of funding to contract for a study design, NASEM 
provided a credible study design report entitled, An Approach 
to Evaluate the Effects of Concomitant Prescribing of Opioids 
and Benzodiazepines on Veterans Deaths and Suicides. As such, 
the agreement directs the Department to work in close 
consultation and coordination with NASEM to implement the study 
design to evaluate and understand the effects of opioids and 
benzodiazepine on veteran suicides. The agreement directs the 
Department to brief the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress no later than 60 days after enactment of 
this Act on the proposed study design to be implemented, and to 
provide periodic updates thereafter.

                              Whole Health

    Whole Health.--The agreement provides $63,600,000 for the 
Whole Health initiative, which is $10,000,000 above the budget 
request. The agreement directs VA to expand its use of 
interactive patient care and to ensure coordination and 
standardization of the field implementation of the Whole Health 
initiative. The agreement provides up to $5,000,000 for 
creative arts therapies. The agreement further directs the 
Department to submit complete and detailed accounting of the 
Whole Health program in the fiscal year 2021 budget request.
    Alternative Therapies.--The agreement directs VA to study 
the feasibility and advisability of making yoga, meditation, 
creative arts therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture also 
accessible as treatment for mental health conditions, including 
suicide risk, to veterans at all Department facilities, either 
in person, or through telehealth.

                        Other Items of Interest

    Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System (CAVHCS).--The 
Department is directed to address the deficiencies at CAVHCS, 
as identified in House Report 116-63.
    Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Transparency.--Although the 
Department issued a policy directive on the prevention and 
management of pressure injuries, and is exploring non-invasive 
innovative biometric sensor technologies that have produced 
promising results in the early detection of pressure ulcers, 
more can be done. The agreement directs the Department to 
address pressure ulcer prevention and transparency, as 
identified in House Report 116-63, though the agreement does 
not specify funds for the pilot. The agreement directs the 
Under Secretary for Health to complete the directed assessment 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act. In addition, the 
agreement encourages the Department to consider incorporating 
into its directive the steps included in the peer-reviewed 
Standardized Pressure Injury Prevention Protocols.
    Access for Veterans in the Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and Freely Associated 
States.--The Committees remain concerned about the challenges 
for veterans residing in the Freely Associated States (FAS) to 
access the quality healthcare they have earned through their 
military service. Given the significant time, resources, and 
high costs for travel for some veterans, including airfare, 
transportation, and lodging, many FAS veterans are never able 
to access VA health services. The agreement urges the 
Department to enhance access to care for these veterans. The 
Committees are seeking to understand potential obstacles in 
data collection to account for the number of veterans residing 
in the FAS, and how VA can improve data collection from the 
outlying areas to help inform the development of proposals to 
ensure that health needs of these veterans are met. The 
agreement directs the Department to conduct a survey related to 
barriers veterans may face in utilizing VA services and other 
benefits when living in outlying and remote areas, and to 
provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress on the findings of this survey, an 
assessment of options for improving access to VA healthcare for 
FAS veterans, as well as the outreach efforts taken to inform 
FAS and remotely located veterans about enrollment in the 
Foreign Medical Program. This report is directed to be provided 
within 270 days of enactment of this Act.
    Furthermore, the agreement directs the Department to 
increase access to VA care for veterans living in remote and 
underserved areas of the FAS by increasing the number of full-
time, dedicated, VA medical and mental health providers in 
these areas, as well as to work with Federal and non-Federal 
partners, including the Departments of Defense, Interior, and 
Health and Human Services, community healthcare facilities and 
educational institutions to leverage shared resources and 
improve access for delivery of care through technology and 
collaboration.
    Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.--The 
Department is reminded of the report requested in House Report 
116-63.
    Orthotics and Prosthetics.--The Department is expected to 
ensure veterans continue to receive the prosthetics services 
that best meet their needs in the final Orthotics and 
Prosthetics regulation.
    Veterans Exposed to Open Burn Pits and Airborne Hazards.--
In order to provide full and effective medical care, it is 
essential for the Department to better understand the impacts 
that exposure during service has had on the health of veterans. 
Therefore, the agreement supports language included in House 
Report 116-63, including $5,000,000 to carry out 
responsibilities and activities of the Airborne Hazards and 
Burn Pits Center of Excellence.
    Community Wellness Programs.--VA has not yet implemented 
the VSO Wellness pilot program, authorized in Section 252 of 
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141). 
It is concerning that the Department is still in the process of 
establishing this program and may not be prepared to launch 
until fiscal year 2021. The agreement directs the Department to 
expeditiously implement the program, and further directs the 
Department to provide quarterly status updates to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress.
    Intimate Partner Violence Program.--The agreement supports 
VA's efforts to expand its Intimate Partner Violence Program to 
all sites within the next 2 years, and its plans to screen all 
veterans for Intimate Partner Violence and provide the 
appropriate resources. The agreement directs VA to fully 
resource this program at $20,300,000, as requested, in fiscal 
year 2020 and include it as a program of interest with budget 
detail in the justifications accompanying the fiscal year 2021 
budget submission.
    Adaptive Sports.--The agreement includes $24,309,000 for 
National Veterans Sports Programs, including $16,000,000 for 
adaptive sports programs. Veterans have shown marked 
improvements in mental and physical health from participating 
in adaptive sports and recreational therapy and veterans have 
expressed the need for these activities to be included in the 
healthcare services VA offers. The Committees also recognize 
that adaptive sports and recreational therapy provide a low-
cost alternative to other healthcare services that produce 
similar health outcomes. The Department is directed to make 
recreational and lifelong sports, such as open-ocean swimming, 
surfing, outrigger canoeing, hunting, and fishing eligible for 
grants.
    Equine Therapy.--The agreement recommends the Department 
use $1,500,000 of funds for the adaptive sports program for 
equine therapy. Moreover, the Department should utilize funding 
to conduct a comprehensive program evaluation to ensure the 
continued effectiveness of equine therapy in addressing the 
mental health needs of veterans that participate in these 
programs, including through the systematic assessment and 
tracking of mental health issues and symptoms, and the 
measurement of key outcomes, such as functional improvement in 
veterans' different life domains.
    Beneficiary Travel.--The allocation of beneficiary travel 
to VISNs where unconventional modes of travel, such as air, are 
the primary means for veterans to visit a VA hospital remains a 
concern. Beneficiary travel is often expected to be paid out of 
pocket by the veteran, and then reimbursed by the Department at 
some later date, even for those veterans whose care is 
determined to be necessary by VA. This is an above average 
burden for veterans who live in rural and highly remote areas 
where veterans travel long distances to appointments using 
atypical means of transportation, such as by air, and must pay 
to stay overnight in area hotels. The agreement urges the 
Department to staff each facility with at least one full-time 
employee to manage beneficiary travel, in order to speed 
reimbursements to veterans, and also to identify ways in which 
VA might be able to cover more of these veterans' costs up 
front.
    DOD and VA Prescription Purchasing.--The agreement 
encourages VA to work with DOD on the feasibility of aligning 
their structures, statutory parameters, and regulatory guidance 
in order to increase buying power and reduce the cost of the 
prescription buying program, and to report findings to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress.
    Canadian Forces Base Gagetown.--Many National Guard 
veterans engaged in training activities at Canadian Forces Base 
(CFB) Gagetown in the 1950s and 1960s. The Committees are also 
aware that Veterans Affairs Canada approved one-time, lump sum 
payments to eligible veterans exposed to Agent Orange and other 
defoliants who served at CFB Gagetown; and that veterans who 
served there between June 20 and June 24, 1964, are currently 
eligible for an Agent Orange Registry Health Exam from the 
Veterans Health Administration. The agreement urges the 
Department to establish and maintain a health registry for 
American veterans who were stationed or underwent training at 
CFB Gagetown and who have subsequently experienced health 
problems which may be attributed to Agent Orange or other 
defoliants. The agreement further urges the Department to 
commission an independent study tasked with investigating the 
linkage between service at CFB Gagetown and the development of 
health problems and disease associated with exposure to Agent 
Orange.
    Emergency Ambulance Reimbursement.--VA has made efforts to 
improve claims reimbursement processes for emergency ambulance 
service providers, however, continued problems with emergency 
ambulance transportation services result in lengthy claims 
payment delays or unwarranted financial burdens on veterans. 
The agreement urges the Department to take any necessary 
actions to process such claims using the ``prudent layperson'' 
standard for claims of emergency ambulance transportation of 
veterans to non-VA facilities. The agreement further directs 
the Department to provide a brief to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 90 days 
after enactment of this Act to update the Committees on the 
Department's efforts to streamline reimbursement of claims by 
emergency ambulance service providers. This brief should 
include an assessment by VA of the impacts of permitting 
conditional payments to ambulance service providers while 
seeking reimbursement from third-party payers where such payers 
have not made payment within 120 days of the date on which 
emergency ambulance services are provided, similar to Medicare 
program practices.
    Pilot Programs for Agritherapy.--The agreement provides 
$5,000,000 to continue a pilot program to train veterans in 
agricultural vocations, while also tending to behavioral and 
mental health needs with behavioral healthcare services and 
treatments by licensed providers at no fewer than three 
locations.
    Lovell Federal Health Care Center.--The Captain James A. 
Lovell Federal Health Care Center Demonstration Project, 
established in 2010 under the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), is an innovative 
collaboration between VA and DOD. The Lovell Federal Health 
Care Center has significant potential to improve access, 
quality, and cost-effectiveness of healthcare delivery to 
veterans, servicemembers, and their families; and already 
serves as a valuable site demonstrating comprehensive 
cooperation and interoperability between VA and DOD. The 
important work of this integration effort must continue as the 
two Departments continue to roll out their respective 
electronic health record programs.
    Alaska Federal Health Care Partnerships.--The Alaska VA 
Healthcare System leadership is investigating whether a 
partnership with DOD, the Coast Guard, and Tribal healthcare 
delivery could improve access and quality of care to all 
Federal healthcare beneficiaries in Alaska with substantial 
cost savings. The agreement encourages VA to consult with its 
Federal and Tribal counterparts, and with other stakeholders, 
including VA employee groups and community providers, with 
respect to the benefits which might accrue from adoption of 
this model, and to report periodically to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the progress of 
these discussions.
    Support for Vet Centers in Rural Communities.--Vet Centers 
across the country provide a broad range of counseling, 
outreach, and referral services to eligible veterans, active 
duty servicemembers, and their families, to include individuals 
with problematic discharges. The Committees believe Vet Centers 
are critical in rural communities, and the agreement encourages 
the Department to fully staff these resources.
    Readjustment Counseling.--The Department's Vet Centers and 
Mobile Vet Centers provide important readjustment counseling 
services. The Department also partners with organizations that 
provide outdoor experiences for veterans as part of a continuum 
of care to support veterans in developing a community of 
support to treat combat-related injuries, including those 
related to behavioral health. The agreement directs the 
Department to submit a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 120 
days after enactment of this Act to highlight best practices of 
Vet Centers, including partnerships to provide outdoor 
experiences, and to include a plan to disseminate the findings, 
as well as incorporate into criteria for additional sites. The 
report should address whether successful programs should be 
replicated in other areas.
    Telehealth Services.--The agreement includes an additional 
$30,000,000 to increase telehealth capacity in rural and highly 
rural areas. The agreement directs VA to develop a plan to 
improve veteran and provider satisfaction, increase awareness 
of the telehealth program, and enhance adoption of telehealth 
by veterans and providers. The Department's plan should include 
actions that will be taken to make telehealth more accessible 
to patients in highly rural areas and be provided to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 180 days after enactment of this Act.
    Call Routing.--The Committees are still receiving reports 
that veterans calling their community-based outpatient clinics 
(CBOC) to make an appointment are sometimes automatically 
routed to central call centers at VA medical centers with no 
follow-up by the local CBOCs after the initial call. The fiscal 
year 2019 Conference Report included a reporting requirement 
for VA to explain its guidance on call routing of the 
scheduling of appointments. The report that was submitted to 
the Committees failed to explain VA guidance and was rather 
useless for addressing this issue. Therefore, the agreement 
directs VA to provide a report that explains the Department's 
guidance on call routing of the scheduling of appointments. The 
agreement further directs VA to provide the Committees with an 
update on its call modernization efforts referenced in the 
March 20, 2019, Congressional Tracking Report on Call Routing. 
This report shall be submitted to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 90 days 
after enactment of this Act.

                             Long-Term Care

    Long-Term Care.--The agreement provides $9,781,721,000, as 
requested by the Department for long-term care. This includes 
$6,471,460,000 for institutional care and $3,310,261,000 for 
non-institutional care. The Committees are aware of the aging 
veteran population and support long-term care that focuses on 
facilitating veteran independence, enhancing quality of life, 
and supporting the family members of veterans. As such, the 
agreement supports the Department's efforts to broaden 
veterans' options regarding non-institutional long-term care 
support and services, and to accommodate veterans' preferences 
in receiving home-based services, as well as community-based 
care, residential settings, nursing homes, and other services. 
The Committees acknowledge that the veteran population faces 
unique health risks and that each veteran requires an 
individualized approach to care, and VA is encouraged to 
continue cooperation with community, State, and Federal 
partners to expand and grow these programs.
    Hospice Care.--As Vietnam-era veterans age, many of them 
are facing unique end-of-life challenges related to their 
combat experience that standard hospice care and palliative 
services are not fully equipped to address. Public Law 115-244 
urged VA to undertake a pilot program to develop techniques, 
best practices, and support mechanisms to improve end-of-life 
care for combat veterans and Vietnam-era veterans. Due to the 
lack of meaningful advancement toward addressing the unique 
needs of Vietnam veterans, the agreement directs VA to carry 
out this pilot program and to engage non-profit hospice and 
palliative care providers with Vietnam veteran-centric programs 
in implementing the pilot program. The Committees are aware 
that organizations such as the non-profit, National Partnership 
for Hospice Innovation, are developing programs designed to 
meet the specific end-of-life care needs for Vietnam-era 
veterans and strongly reiterates that such an approach could be 
beneficial to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria combat veterans in 
the future. The agreement directs the Department to submit a 
report on this effort to the Committees on Appropriations of 
both Houses of Congress no later than 90 days after enactment 
of this Act.
    Domiciliary Care Claims for Veterans with Early-Stage 
Dementia.--Changes in VA's processing and treatment of 
domiciliary care claims has led to some veterans with early-
stage dementia who were earlier ruled eligible for VA 
domiciliary care to now be deemed ineligible. The Department 
has taken efforts to provide limited equitable relief for 
current veteran patients previously deemed eligible for 
domiciliary care. VA is directed to provide a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act on the 
Department's plan to address care for all impacted veterans 
with early-stage dementia.

                         MEDICAL COMMUNITY CARE

    The agreement provides $17,131,179,000 in advance fiscal 
year 2021 funding for Medical Community Care, with 
$2,000,000,000 available until September 30, 2022. The 
agreement provides an additional $4,521,400,000 above the 
fiscal year 2020 advance appropriation for the Medical 
Community Care account, of which $615,000,000 shall be from 
unobligated balances from the Veterans Choice Fund.

                     MEDICAL SUPPORT AND COMPLIANCE

    The agreement provides $7,914,191,000 in advance for fiscal 
year 2021 for Medical Support and Compliance and makes 
$150,000,000 of the advance funding available through fiscal 
year 2022. The agreement provides an additional $98,800,000 
above the fiscal year 2020 advance appropriation for the 
Medical Support and Compliance account.

                           MEDICAL FACILITIES

    The agreement provides $6,433,265,000 in advance for fiscal 
year 2021 for Medical Facilities. Of the advance funding, 
$250,000,000 is made available through fiscal year 2022.
    The agreement provides $10,000,000 for women's health and 
mental health non-recurring maintenance (NRM) projects. Within 
the mental health NRM projects, the agreement directs VA to 
prioritize construction to increase the number of beds 
available for overnight mental health treatment for veterans. 
The agreement further directs the Department to submit an 
expenditure plan detailing the planned use of funds, and to 
report on specific measures it takes to track and prioritize 
the physical and cultural transformation within VA facilities 
to better serve women veterans.
    Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Bakersfield, 
California.--The latest delay in building a clinic in 
Bakersfield, resulting from the cancellation of Lease No. 
36C10F18L3394 due to errors made by the Department, is 
extremely concerning. On November 20, 2019, the Secretary 
provided a revised timeline to build the new clinic, but future 
protests may result in additional delays. The agreement directs 
the Secretary to expeditiously execute the proposed timeline, 
including beginning site work as soon as possible in 2020 and 
to provide monthly reports to the Committees on Appropriations 
of both Houses of Congress detailing the Department's 
assessment on maintaining the timeline provided on November 
20th, until the new clinic in Bakersfield is activated.
    Use of Smart Technologies.--The Department is encouraged to 
work with industry leaders on the use of smart technologies to 
improve VA facilities.
    War Related Illness and Injury Study Centers (WRIISC).--In 
lieu of the direction provided in House Report 116-63, the 
Committees direct VA to conduct a feasibility study to 
establish a WRIISC focused on gender-based differences in the 
development, diagnosis, and treatment of exposure-related 
diseases.
    VHA Infrastructure Planning and Facility Assessments.--As 
VA implements the VA MISSION Act and begins to make decisions 
related to community capacity and the appropriate size of VA's 
footprint, the agreement maintains that strong VHA facilities 
are critical to a high-performing integrated health network for 
veterans. Unfortunately, despite significant investments from 
Congress in recent years to address major and minor 
construction and non-recurring maintenance, the Department's 
execution of these funds to upgrade or expand treatment 
facilities for veterans has not moved as quickly as intended. 
The agreement urges VA to look for ways to be timelier in its 
execution of dollars and more flexible in efforts to meet the 
evolving healthcare needs of veterans. The agreement directs 
the Department to provide to the Committees on Appropriations 
of both Houses of Congress a report on the biggest impediments 
to executing construction and leasing projects in a more 
efficient and effective manner within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act. The report should also include an update on the 
market assessment being conducted pursuant to the VA MISSION 
Act.
    Energy Savings.--The agreement encourages VA to use energy-
related Energy Savings Performance Contracting and Utility 
Energy Service Contracting in concert with appropriated funds 
to leverage more investment from the private sector for any VA 
renovation project for which energy systems are involved.
    Rate of Return on Alternative Energy Investments.--The 
Committees are concerned about VA's procurement of alternative 
energy and the potential for the technology to be obsolete 
before full return on investment is achieved. Therefore, the 
agreement encourages the Secretary to assure that any new 
alternative energy project has a return on investment less than 
or equal to 10 years.

                    MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH

    The agreement provides $800,000,000 for Medical and 
Prosthetic Research, available until September 30, 2021. Bill 
language is included to ensure that the Secretary allocates 
adequate funding for prosthetic research specifically for 
female veterans and for toxic exposures.
    The Committees remain highly supportive of this program and 
recognize its importance both in improving healthcare services 
to veterans and recruiting and retaining high quality medical 
professionals in the Veterans Health Administration. The 
agreement encourages VA to continue its research into 
developing novel approaches to restoring veterans with 
amputation, central nervous system injuries, loss of sight or 
hearing, or other physical and cognitive impairments to full 
and productive lives.
    Neural-Enabled Prosthetics.--The Committees understand the 
uniqueness of limb trauma injuries sustained by servicemembers 
in combat and support additional research in this area. In lieu 
of the directive in House Report 116-63, the agreement directs 
VA to continue its efforts to fund and conduct research that 
will design and develop technology to offset the effects of 
limb amputation, orthopedic injury and disease, neuropathic 
pain, and other neurodegenerative diseases by partnering with 
colleges and universities that specialize in these fields and 
provide a report on the opportunities to expand this field of 
inquiry within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
    Cancer Moonshot.--The agreement supports the Department's 
efforts to utilize advances in genomic science to provide 
targeted treatment to veterans. The Department has identified 
prostate cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and colorectal 
cancer as areas of priority. Due to the prevalence of various 
skin cancers among servicemembers, the agreement directs that 
skin cancer be included as well.
    Enewetak Atoll Registry Research.--Thousands of veterans 
served on the Enewetak Atoll to clean up the island following 
its use for nuclear weapons testing. There are many instances 
of veterans who conducted the cleanup suffering serious health 
problems, such as brittle bones, cancers, and birth defects in 
their children. The agreement urges the Department to study 
whether there is a connection between certain illnesses and the 
potential exposure of individuals to radiation related to 
service at Enewetak Atoll between January 1, 1977, and December 
31, 1980.
    Rare Cancer Research.--The agreement encourages the 
Department to support research to evaluate the health status of 
servicemembers from their time of deployment to Iraq and 
Afghanistan over many years to determine their incidence of 
chronic diseases including cancers that tend not to show up for 
decades. Furthermore, the Department is encouraged to establish 
a collaboration with the Department of Defense to examine the 
impact of rare cancers on those who serve and fund research in 
delivering treatments for rare cancers that take a platform-
agnostic approach to developing new therapeutics.
    Gulf War Illness Studies.--The agreement recommends that 
the Department continue to conduct epidemiological studies 
regarding the prevalence of Gulf War illness, morbidity, and 
mortality in Persian Gulf War veterans and the development of 
effective treatments, preventions, and cures. The agreement 
urges the Department to publish disease-specific mortality data 
related specifically to Persian Gulf War veterans and 
encourages the Department to utilize the term, ``Gulf War 
illness''. The agreement urges the Secretary to consider 
revising and updating the Clinical Practice Guideline for 
Chronic Multi-symptom Illness consistent with the July 2011 
Veterans Health Initiative, ``Caring for Gulf War Veterans,'' 
and to focus on recent Gulf War illness treatment research 
findings and ongoing Gulf War illness treatment research 
direction. Furthermore, the agreement encourages VA to 
strengthen the training of primary, specialty, and mental 
healthcare providers on Gulf War illness.
    VA/Department of Energy Computing Collaboration.--The 
agreement supports ongoing research between VA and the 
Department of Energy's National Laboratories.
    Suicide Prevention.--VA is strongly encouraged to work with 
DOD's Military Health System to place high priority on the 
deployment of novel and innovative technologies to prevent 
suicides and report in the fiscal year 2021 budget request on 
outcomes of the effort.
    Longitudinal Study of Diagnostic Tools or Biomarkers for 
Brain Conditions.--The agreement encourages the Department to 
devise a longitudinal study to identify and validate two non-
survey diagnostic tools or biomarkers for brain health 
conditions including TBI and PTSD for clinical use at VA 
medical facilities by 2023, in coordination with the National 
Research Action Plan. Additionally, the agreement encourages VA 
to consider the full range of brain health conditions, and to 
seek the consultation of non-profit and non-governmental 
research organizations currently engaged in research for 
servicemember and veteran brain health conditions for research 
collaboration, identification, and validation. Reports on 
research shall be made publicly available and submitted to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 60 days after completion.
    Rapid Cerebral Therapeutic Hypothermia.--The agreement 
encourages the Department to determine whether VA clinicians 
and physicians have the necessary equipment to rapidly 
administer cerebral therapeutic hypothermia.

                    National Cemetery Administration

    The agreement provides $329,000,000 for the National 
Cemetery Administration (NCA). Of the amount provided, not to 
exceed 10 percent is available until September 30, 2021.
    Committal Service Shelters.--The agreement directs the 
Department to review the feasibility and appropriateness of 
expanding committal shelters at State veteran cemeteries to be 
able to accommodate at least 60 people in comfort with a 
platform and sound system for conducting services, private 
bathrooms, and temperature control. The agreement further 
directs the Department to provide a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the findings of 
this review, including the cost associated with making these 
changes, within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
    National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.--Currently, the 
Pacific Region of the National Cemetery Administration performs 
more annual interments than any other region, but has the 
fewest number of national cemeteries. In order to provide 
appropriate burial space to veterans in the Pacific, the 
agreement directs the Department to conduct a feasibility 
review for the creation of a new national cemetery in the 
Pacific region, and to report the findings to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 180 
days after enactment of this Act.

                      Departmental Administration


                         GENERAL ADMINISTRATION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $355,911,000 for General 
Administration. Of the amount provided, not to exceed 10 
percent is available for obligation until September 30, 2021. 
The agreement continues to include bill language permitting the 
transfer of funds from this account to General Operating 
Expenses, Veterans Benefits Administration.
    Pro-Bono Legal Services.--The Committees support the 
Department's work with law schools to assist veterans, which 
helps both the students and veterans.
    Lobbying Congress.--The agreement reminds the Department 
that lobbying Congress in support of legislation imagined by 
VA, and not at the request for technical assistance from 
Congress, is not an appropriate use of taxpayer resources. 
Further, the agreement directs the Department to make all 
central-office based employees of the Office of Public Affairs 
receive training on the Hatch Act and its application to ensure 
official Department resources are being used in a nonpartisan 
manner.
    The agreement provides funding for General Administration 
in the amounts specified below:

    Veterans Experience Office.--The agreement provides that 
the Office continue to be funded through reimbursable 
agreements.

                       BOARD OF VETERANS APPEALS

    The agreement provides $182,000,000 for the Board of 
Veterans Appeals, of which not to exceed 10 percent shall 
remain available until September 30, 2021.
    Appeals Process.--The agreement directs the Board to 
develop a plan to address the backlog of hearing requests, 
which includes expanded remote access for rural veterans, and 
to identify any necessary information technology solutions. The 
agreement directs the Board to provide this plan to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 180 days after enactment of this Act.

                     INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $4,371,615,000 for the Information 
Technology Systems account. This amount includes funding for 
systems supporting implementation of the Blue Water Navy 
Vietnam Veterans Act and other anticipated needs. The agreement 
includes $1,204,238,000 for staff salaries and expenses, 
$2,739,597,000 for operation and maintenance of existing 
programs, and $427,780,000 for program development.
    The agreement makes not to exceed 3 percent of pay and 
associated costs funding available until the end of fiscal year 
2021; not to exceed 5 percent of operations and maintenance 
funding available until the end of fiscal year 2021 and all IT 
systems development funding available until the end of fiscal 
year 2021.
    The agreement continues language permitting funding to be 
transferred among the three IT subaccounts, subject to approval 
from the Committees.
    The agreement continues language providing that funding may 
be transferred among development projects or to new projects 
subject to the Committees' approval.
    The agreement continues language indicating that no 
development project may be increased or decreased by more than 
$1,000,000 prior to receiving approval of the Committees or a 
period of 30 days has elapsed.
    VA is dealing with an aging IT infrastructure and 
antiquated systems that have contributed to issues affecting 
veterans, their families, and third parties with whom VA has 
agreements. Additionally, the Department continues to identify 
significant IT costs to support new and critical initiatives, 
and to comply with requirements that have been passed into law. 
The agreement provides an increase above the President's 
request for IT and therefore assumes that the Department will, 
within the allocation, be able to secure an appropriate IT 
system for the Office of Accountability and Whistleblower 
Protection to facilitate tracking and reporting on data as 
required by law, and be able to certify the system necessary to 
expand the Caregivers Program. Due to the number of outdated 
legacy systems, the agreement encourages the Department to 
consider decommissioning systems that are no longer in use and 
requires the Department to provide notification to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress when 
such action is taken. The agreement directs the Department to 
include in future budget submissions an Information Technology 
Decommissioning Report that outlines what legacy systems will 
be decommissioned during the fiscal year.
    Website Accessibility.--The agreement encourages the 
Department to review its information technology systems to 
ensure compliance with the law (29 U.S.C. 794), encompassing 
the Department's websites, including files attached to those 
websites, web-based applications and kiosks at medical 
facilities. No later than 180 days after enactment of this Act, 
the agreement directs the Department to report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the 
findings of the review, as well as a plan to become compliant 
with 29 U.S.C. 794.
    This table is intended to serve as the Department's 
approved list of development projects; any requested changes 
are subject to reprogramming requirements.

                   VETERANS ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD

    The agreement provides $1,500,000,000 for Veterans 
Electronic Health Record for activities related to the 
development and rollout of VA's Electronic Health Record 
Modernization (EHRM) initiative, the associated contractual 
costs, and the salaries and expenses of employees hired under 
titles 5 and 38, United States Code.
    EHRM Initiative.--The agreement includes a substantial 
increase of $393,000,000 for the EHRM initiative to provide 
benefits to veterans and better management tools for the 
Department. While the Committees remain supportive of the EHRM 
initiative, as with any acquisition of this size and magnitude, 
there are implementation concerns, including maintaining 
budget, scope, implementation and deployment schedules, 
security, reporting, and interoperability. As such, the 
agreement directs the Secretary to continue to provide 
quarterly reporting of obligations, expenditures, and 
deployment implementation by facility. Moreover, the agreement 
directs the Department to continue quarterly briefings on 
performance milestones, costs, and changes to implementation 
and management plans. The bill maintains a provision that 
prohibits obligation of funds inconsistent with deployment 
schedules provided to the Committees on Appropriations. 
Henceforth, the Secretary is directed to provide an accurate, 
up-to-date deployment schedule at each quarterly briefing. The 
Secretary is not provided transfer authority, as requested, and 
is directed to continue using this account as the sole source 
of funding within the Department for EHRM. Further, the 
agreement continues to direct the Secretary to manage EHRM at 
the headquarters level in the Office of the Deputy Secretary.
    Government Accountability Office (GAO) Review.--The 
agreement continues the fiscal year 2019 directive to GAO to 
conduct quarterly performance reviews of EHRM deployment and to 
report to the Committees on Appropriations each quarter.
    VA/DOD Interoperability.--The need for a fully functional, 
adaptable and interoperable electronic health record system 
cannot be understated, especially as VA shifts its model of 
care to include the expanded use of community providers. 
However, the Department and DOD do not appear to be placing 
sufficient priority and urgency on this matter. As such, VA and 
DOD are directed to expeditiously utilize the joint Federal 
Electronic Health Record Modernization Program Office to 
establish clear and agreed-upon metrics and goals for 
interoperability, as well as timeframes for meeting these 
goals. The Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization 
Program Office is directed to incorporate metrics, goals, and 
timeframes in the joint office's charter and to provide the 
charter to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress within 30 days of enactment of this Act. The Secretary 
is directed to provide updates from the joint office, including 
any plans to alter its charter or processes, in the quarterly 
reports and briefings provided to the Committees on 
Appropriations.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

    The agreement provides $210,000,000 for the Office of 
Inspector General, which is $3,000,000 above the request. Of 
the amount provided, not to exceed 10 percent is available for 
obligation until September 30, 2021. The additional funds are 
provided to ensure robust oversight regarding implementation of 
the VA MISSION Act and the Electronic Health Record 
Modernization initiative.
    The Inspector General is strongly encouraged to undertake 
and complete investigations in a timely manner and share 
information with the Department, the Department of Justice, and 
other entities as appropriate.
    Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center.--The 
agreement urges the Inspector General to dedicate all necessary 
resources to provide rigorous oversight of the Washington DC 
Veterans Affairs Medical Center, a facility that has been 
plagued with management problems.

                      CONSTRUCTION, MAJOR PROJECTS

    The agreement provides $1,235,200,000 for Construction, 
Major Projects. The agreement makes this funding available for 
five years, except that $198,600,000 is made available until 
expended, of which $35,000,000 shall be available for seismic 
improvement projects.
    Challenges in Executing Construction Projects.--The 
Committees are concerned by VA's inability to execute 
appropriated construction dollars in a timely manner. Based on 
its annual Strategic Capital Investment Planning process, VA's 
capital needs over the next 10 years may require resources up 
to $72,000,000,000 to address. However, VA has been challenged 
to execute even a small fraction of that amount in a given 
fiscal year. Therefore, the agreement directs VA to provide 
within 240 days of enactment of this Act a written report 
outlining VA's short- and long-term plans to expand and 
strengthen its internal and contract capacity to execute its 
construction budget across major, minor, non-recurring 
maintenance, and leasing projects efficiently and effectively. 
This report should provide a holistic, VA-wide strategic plan 
incorporating the needs of VHA, the Office of Acquisition, 
Logistics & Construction, the Office of Management, and other 
relevant VA administrations/offices, to address the issue, 
including long-term staffing needs, the cost of any temporary 
spaces, any legislative and organizational changes, and 
requirements to improve and streamline. The report should also 
look at the accuracy of cost estimates used for planning 
construction and leasing projects, the impact of 
underestimating costs on project timeframes, and any actions 
that can be taken to improve the accuracy of estimates of 
future projects to ensure timely execution.
    Communities Helping Invest through Property and 
Improvements Needed for Veterans Pilot.--The agreement 
encourages the Department to utilize the authority granted by 
the Communities Helping Invest through Property and 
Improvements Needed for Veterans Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-
294) to fulfill the Congressional intent and initiate 
additional projects. Additionally, the Committees believe that 
the Department should prioritize projects that result in a 
public-private partnership between VA and a non-Federal entity. 
In doing so, the agreement strongly encourages the Department 
to look at projects that would avoid VA duplicating services, 
and rather address gaps in necessary services for veterans.
    The agreement funds the following items as requested in the 
budget submission:

    The agreement provides $398,800,000 for Construction, Minor 
Projects. The agreement makes this funding available for five 
years.
    The agreement encourages the Department to prioritize 
construction for expanding gender-specific care for women and 
mental health programs. The Department is directed to provide 
an expenditure plan to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress no later than 30 days after enactment of

                            RELATED AGENCIES


                  American Battle Monuments Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement provides $84,100,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses of the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), an 
increase of $9,000,000 above the budget request to support 
ABMC's unfunded requirements for high-priority projects and 
address the maintenance backlog at existing monuments and 
cemeteries. The additional funds are provided to accelerate the 
Commission's five-year plan, not only to maintain the 
cemeteries and monuments honoring America's war dead, but also 
to preserve and communicate these veterans' stories of courage 
and sacrifice.
    American Battle Monuments Commission.--On October 22, 2018, 
ABMC submitted a plan to spend $28,900,000 in additional 
funding that Congress appropriated in fiscal year 2019 to 
support ABMC's unfunded cemetery requirements. ABMC's plan 
includes $20,400,000 for the Honolulu interpretive center at 
the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, known as the 
``Punchbowl.'' The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) has 
identified a site for the interpretive center adjacent to its 
administrative facility that will serve ABMC's interpretive 
mission without affecting burial space inside the cemetery. 
ABMC is directed, in conjunction with NCA, to execute the 
funding appropriated for projects identified in its October 
2018 spend plan to Congress and to complete the proposed siting 
and construction feasibility evaluation at the administrative 
facility-adjacent location to ensure the interpretive center 
remains in balance with the long-term mission and legacy of the 
Punchbowl.

                 FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS ACCOUNT

    The agreement provides such sums as necessary for the

    The agreement provides $35,400,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses for the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans

    The agreement provides $80,800,000 for Cemeterial Expenses, 
Army.--Salaries and Expenses. This amount is equal to the

request. Within that amount, up to $15,000,000 in funding is 
available until September 30, 2022.
    The budget request for Arlington National Cemetery's 
operating account has been held artificially flat for a number 
of years, and this action is having a deleterious effect on the 
Cemetery's performance and ability to meet its mission. It is 
unacceptable that the Cemetery's budget requests are 
continually inadequate to maintain the current level of 
services. The Cemetery cannot be under-resourced, and 
accordingly, the bill provides an additional $10,000,000 to 
correct this deficiency.
    This agreement reflects unwavering support for the Cemetery 
and the successful completion of the Cemetery's truly unique 
and honored mission. Accordingly, the Secretary of the Army is 
again directed to include this increase in the Cemetery's 
baseline budget and ensure future budget requests provide ample 
resources for the Cemetery, including funding to complete the 
planned Southern Expansion and ensure that the life of our 
Nation's most prestigious cemetery is extended into the 2050 
timeframe.

                      ARMED FORCES RETIREMENT HOME

                               TRUST FUND

    The agreement provides a total of $75,300,000 for the Armed 
Forces Retirement Home (AFRH), an increase of $11,000,000 above 
the fiscal year 2019 enacted level and the budget request. The 
increase is intended to support high-priority capital projects.
    AFRH-W Development.--The Committees recognize the critical 
role of AFRH in providing residences and related services for 
certain retired and former members of the Armed Forces and 
support AFRH's efforts to lease 80 acres of underutilized land 
on its Washington, D.C., campus. AFRH is directed to submit 
quarterly reports to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress outlining the redevelopment progress against 
the AFRH-W Master Plan, including the status of the lease 
negotiations and the financial transparency of the development 
project.

        Government of the United States and such government 
        that describes, among other things, the treatment for

be extended for an additional fiscal year if the Secretary of 
State or the USAID Administrator, as appropriate, determines 
and reports promptly to the Committees on Appropriations that 
the termination of assistance to a country or a significant 
change in circumstances makes it unlikely that such designated 
funds can be obligated during the original period of

continue to be available for an additional fiscal year shall be 
obligated only for the purpose of such designation.

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

          (3) all Arab League states should normalize relations 
        with their neighbor Israel;
          (4) the President and the Secretary of State should 
        continue to vigorously oppose the Arab League boycott 
        of Israel and find concrete steps to demonstrate that 
        opposition by, for example, taking into consideration 
        the participation of any recipient country in the 
        boycott when determining to sell weapons to said 
        country; and
          (5) the President should report to Congress annually 
        on specific steps being taken by the United States to 
        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 
        States to enact laws prohibiting businesses from 
        complying with the boycott and penalizing businesses

   DIVISION G--DEPARTMENT OF STATE, FOREIGN OPERATIONS, AND RELATED

    In implementing this agreement, Federal departments, 
agencies, commissions, and other entities are directed to 
comply with the directives, reporting requirements, and 
instructions contained in H. Rept. 116-78 (House report) 
accompanying H.R. 2839 and incorporated by reference by section 
7066 in division D of H.R. 2740 (House bill) and S. Rept. 116-
126 (Senate report) accompanying S. 2583 (Senate bill) as 
though stated in this explanatory statement, unless 
specifically directed to the contrary.
    This 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 
explanatory statement. In cases in which the House and Senate 
reports provide contradictory directives or instructions that 
are not addressed in this explanatory statement, such 
directives or instructions are negated.
    Reports required to be submitted pursuant to the Act, 
including reports required by this 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 allocations 
contained in this 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 included in this explanatory statement 
for funds appropriated in titles III through V, including 
tables in title VII, shall be made available at not less than 
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 (FAA) of 1961, where 
applicable. The Act provides that the amounts designated in the 
tables shall be made available notwithstanding the date of the 
transmission of such report. Section 7019 also includes limited 
authority to deviate not more than 10 percent below such 
designated amounts and continues language similar to prior 
fiscal years including certain exceptions to the requirements 
of the section.
    Proposed deviations from tables in titles I and II in this 
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 purposes of this explanatory statement, the term 
``prior Acts'' means prior Acts making appropriations for the 
Department of State, foreign operations, and related programs. 
In addition, ``division F of Public Law 116-6'', means the 
Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 2019.
    For purposes of the Act and this 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 United States Agency for International 
Development (USAID) Administrator are directed to submit 
notifications for the obligation of funds made available by the 
Act and prior Acts not later than 90 days prior to the 
expiration of such funds.
    Congressional notifications submitted by the heads of the 
relevant Federal agencies contained in the Act 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 
needed or intended to be used as previously justified.
    For purposes of the Act and this explanatory statement, 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.
    Notwithstanding authority included in any provision of the 
Act shall not be construed to exclude the requirements of such 
provision.
    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.''
    Similar to prior fiscal years, funding is made available 
and designated as Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on 
Terrorism (OCO/GWOT) pursuant to the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA) in 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 for security, 
stabilization, and peacekeeping programs; humanitarian 
activities; and counterterrorism and counterinsurgency efforts. 
The Act does not contain or establish a regional limitation on 
use of OCO/GWOT.
    The Secretary of State shall comply with the directive 
under section 7015 in the House report regarding the transfer 
or release of any individuals detained at Naval Station, 
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in the manner described.
    The agreement maintains the traditional uses and placement 
in title III for the Development Assistance and Economic 
Support Fund accounts.
    The Director of the Peace Corps shall inform the Secretary 
of State prior to opening, closing, significantly reducing, or 
suspending an overseas office or country program, which will 
help strengthen communication and coordination of United States 
policy overseas.
    Not later than 60 days after the release of any foreign 
assistance review or realignment prepared or conducted by the 
National Security Council, Office of Management and Budget, 
Department of State, or USAID, or any combination thereof, the 
Comptroller General of the United States shall provide an 
assessment of such review or realignment to the appropriate 
congressional committees, including an analysis of the 
methodology used to determine any recommendations included in 
such foreign assistance review or realignment. Each assessment 
shall be submitted in unclassified form but may include a 
classified annex.
    The agreement directs the Department of State to fully 
restore $40,026,539 in Economic Support Fund that lapsed at the 
end of fiscal year 2019 due to apportionment and obligation 
delays, including $35,379,246 for the Bureau of Democracy, 
Human Rights, and Labor (DRL). Such programs shall be funded at 
not less than the previously planned levels and are in addition 
to any amounts identified for fiscal years 2019 and 2020 
programs.

        of rental assistance for families as the result of 
        insufficient funding, as determined by the Secretary, 
        and to avoid or reduce the proration of renewal funding 
        allocations:  Provided further, That up to $100,000,000

        restricted assets accounts and HUD-held programmatic

        enable such agencies to lease more vouchers; and (6) 
        for public housing agencies that have experienced

  (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

                income units and the configuration (i.e., 
                bedroom size) provided by the transferring

                  (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.

        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

        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(2 U.S.C. 661a)) of any FHA-insured mortgage,

consultation with the tenants and the local government, that 
such a multifamily property owned or held by the Secretary is

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. 213.  Public housing agencies that own and operate 400 
or fewer public housing units may elect to be exempt from any 
asset management requirement imposed by the Secretary of

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. 215.  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'', ``Administrative Support 
Offices'', ``Program Offices'', ``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. 216.  The Secretary of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development shall, for fiscal year 2020, 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 
2020, 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. 217.  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. 218.  The Secretary is authorized to transfer up to 10 
percent or $5,000,000, whichever is less, of funds appropriated

Offices'' or ``Program Offices'' 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 3 business days in advance of any such 
transfers under this section up to 10 percent or $5,000,000, 
whichever is less.
  Sec. 219. (a) Any entity receiving housing assistance

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--
          (1) receives a Uniform Physical Condition Standards

                   AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2020


                        Congressional Directives

    Unless otherwise noted, the language and allocations set 
forth in the House report (House Report 116-106) and the Senate 
report (Senate Report 116-109) carry the same weight as 
language included in this statement and should be complied with 
unless specifically addressed to the contrary in this division

neither of which is changed by this statement, is a result of 
the 2020 appropriations agreement. This statement, while 
repeating some report language for emphasis, does not intend to 
negate the language referred to above unless expressly provided 
herein. In cases where the House or the Senate has directed the 
submission of a report, such report is to be submitted to both 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. The 
Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and

fiscal year 2021 budget request.
    Targeted investments in impoverished areas.--If current 
data collected by the Departments and agencies for a program 
are unable to be readily aggregated by county or census tract,
