                              Clerk's Note

    This committee print provides a compilation of the enacted 
text and applicable explanatory material for the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2021 (H.R. 133, P.L. 116-260).
    The Act consists of 12 divisions related to regular annual 
Appropriations matters (divisions A through L). Division M 
contains the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental 
Appropriations Act, 2021, which provides supplemental 
appropriations for fiscal year 2021. The Act also includes 19 
additional divisions largely unrelated to appropriations 
matters (divisions N through FF). This compilation includes 
only the 12 divisions related to regular appropriations matters 
(A through L). It also includes the front section of the Act, 
which contains provisions applicable to the entire Act.
    Divisions A through L are the products of negotiations 
between the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on final 
fiscal year 2021 appropriations for all 12 annual 
appropriations bills.
    The legislative text 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. 133. Both the House and Senate agreed to the 
measure on December 21, 2020.\1\ The President signed the 
legislation on December 27, 2020 and it became Public Law 116-
260.
    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. 133. An Explanatory Statement relating to the House 
amendment to H.R. 133 was filed by Chairwoman Lowey in the 
Congressional Record on December 21, 2020.\2\  Section 4 of the 
Act provides that this Explanatory Statement ``shall have the 
same effect with respect to the allocation of funds and 
implementation of divisions A through L of this Act as if it 
were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of 
conference.''
    For the convenience of users, the legislative text of each 
appropriations division is paired with the applicable section 
of the Explanatory Statement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ The House agreed to the amendment in two parts, first by a vote 
of 327-85 (Roll Call No. 250) on divisions B, C, E, and F and then on 
the remaining divisions by a vote of 359-53 (Roll Call No. 251). The 
Senate agreed to the amendment by a vote of 92-6 (Roll Call Vote No. 
289).

    \2\ The Explanatory Statement appears in Books III and IV of the 
December 21, 2020 Congressional Record. (See pages H7879-H8851).

schools located within the jurisdictional area of the tribal 
government which exclusively serve tribal members, do not 
include grades beyond those currently served at the existing 
Bureau-funded school, provide an educational environment with 
educator presence and academic facilities comparable to the 
Bureau-funded school, comply with all applicable Tribal, 
Federal, or State health and safety standards, and the

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

    [Clerk's note.--Reproduced below is the material relating 
to division G contained in the Explanatory Statement regarding 
H.R. 133, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.\1\]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on
December 21, 2020 by Mrs. Lowey of New York, Chairwoman of the House 
Committee on Appropriations. The Statement appears on page H8525 of 
Book IV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   DIVISION G--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ENVIRONMENT, AND RELATED 
                   AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021

    The following statement is an explanation of the effects of 
Division G, 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 2021.
    The joint explanatory statement accompanying this division 
is approved and indicates congressional intent. Unless 
otherwise noted, the language set forth in House Report 116-448 
carries the same weight as language included in this joint 
explanatory statement and should be complied with unless 
specifically addressed to the contrary in this joint 
explanatory statement. While some language is repeated for 
emphasis, it is not intended to negate the language referred to 
above unless expressly provided herein.
    In cases where the House report or this joint 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 joint 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 joint 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 2020 enacted level and the 
fiscal year 2021 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.
    Conservation Partnerships.--Funds are available for land 
management agencies to enter into agreements with youth and 
veterans organizations as authorized by the John McCain 21st 
Century Service Conservation Corps Act (Public Law 116-9). The 
Committees continue to support the partnerships between the 
Department and the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps and 
Public Land Corps, which help to engage youth and veterans in 
hands-on service to our public lands and expects these efforts 
to continue.
    Continued Directives.--The Committees continue the 
directives in Public Law 116-94 regarding Dead and Downed 
Trees, Everglades Restoration, Rural Airstrips, and Domestic 
Production of Critical Minerals.
    Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act.--The Department 
of the Interior and the Forest Service are directed to annually 
post on a centralized agency website the list of Federal Lands 
Recreation Enhancement Act (Public Law 108-447) projects 
performed in each fiscal year, which should include a project 
title, description, location, and amount obligated for each 
project, beginning with fiscal year 2020.
    Federal Law Enforcement.--The agreement notes that the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Commerce, Justice, 
Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021 directs 
the Attorney General to ensure implementation of evidence-based 
training programs on de-escalation and the use-of-force, as 
well as on police-community relations, that are broadly 
applicable and scalable to all Federal law enforcement 
agencies. The agreement further notes that several agencies 
funded by this Act employ Federal law enforcement officers and 
are Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers partner 
organizations. The agreement directs such agencies to consult 
with the Attorney General regarding the implementation of these 
programs for their law enforcement officers. The agreement 
further directs such agencies to brief the Committees on 
Appropriations on their efforts relating to such implementation 
no later than 90 days after consultation with the Attorney 
General. In addition, the agreement directs such agencies, to 
the extent that they are not already participating, to consult 
with the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI regarding 
participation in the National Use-of-Force Data Collection. The 
agreement further directs such agencies to brief the Committees 
on Appropriations, no later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act, on their current efforts to so participate.
    Fire Hazard Potential Analysis.--Within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Forest Service and the Department of 
the Interior are directed to provide the Committees an estimate 
of the federal investment required to treat and restore all of 
the acres (federal and non-federal) classified as being at high 
or very high risk on the 2018 Wildfire Hazard Potential Map. 
The agencies are directed to provide an analysis of the acres 
that need to be treated within the next five years in order to 
limit the risk wildfires pose to communities and public lands, 
identifying the acres located in the Wildland-Urban Interface 
or municipal watersheds, and those acres most likely to spread 
wildfire into developed areas using the Forest Service's 
Scenario Investment Planning Tool.
    Firefighting Aviation Contracts.--In addition to the 
direction outlined in House Report 116-448 regarding the report 
on firefighting aviation contracts and current impediments to 
the use of longer-term contracts, the Committees also direct 
the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior to 
consider, as part of this report, whether modifying 
cancellation ceilings for longer-term aviation contracts 
consistent with practices used for longer-term stewardship 
contracts, as provided by Division O of Public Law 115-141, 
could assist the agencies in having long-term certainty and 
affordability for modern aviation assets.
    Great American Outdoors Act.--At the end of this 
explanatory statement, the Committees have included allocation 
of projects pursuant to the Great American Outdoors Act (Public 
Law 116-152).
    Invasive Species Report.--Within 180 days of the date of 
enactment of this Act, the agencies shall provide the 
Committees with a report on their efforts to prioritize Early 
Detection and Rapid Response as part of their expected program 
of work for fiscal year 2021, including detail on how the 
agencies plan to protect specific native species and natural 
resource values on public lands across the Nation.
    Land and Water Conservation Fund.--With the August 4, 2020, 
enactment of the Great American Outdoors Act (Public Law 116-
152), Congress provided a permanent appropriation of 
$900,000,000 per year from the Land and Water Conservation 
Fund. The Act also mandated that account allocations and 
detailed project information be proposed by the administration 
each year through the president's annual budget submission, and 
that such allocations, following review by the House and Senate 
Appropriations Committees, may be modified through an alternate 
allocation.
    Because the fiscal year 2021 budget request did not contain 
allocations for the full amount now available, the table 
located at the end of this explanatory statement, referenced by 
a general provision in Title IV of this bill, provides for the 
allocation of funds at the agency, account, activity, and 
project levels in accordance with section 200303 of title 54, 
United States Code. Individual, location-specific projects have 
been identified, fully vetted, and ranked by the agencies and 
the information was provided to Congress as required by the 
fiscal year 2020 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act (Public Law 116-94).
    Additional direction to the agencies:
    General Implementation.--The bill contains language in 
Title IV directing the Secretary of the Interior and the 
Secretary of Agriculture, as appropriate, to allocate funds 
from the Land and Water Conservation Fund to the respective 
agencies and appropriation accounts detailed in the table 
located at the end of this explanatory statement within 30 days 
of enactment of this Act. The language also requires that the 
allocation of funds within each appropriation be made to the 
activities presented in the table. Flexibility for each agency 
at the project level is provided in two ways: first, by 
aggregating the total amount available for listed acquisitions, 
each agency can provide for small adjustments in funding 
between individual projects in the table as necessary; and 
secondly, by providing for an ``acquisition contingencies'' 
activity, the bill provides additional funds that may be 
utilized by an agency to pursue additional opportunities with 
respect to each listed project or other projects that may 
arise. Each agency is directed to promptly advise the 
Committees on Appropriations of any adjustment made to a 
previously announced funding level, or to any addition or 
deletion of a project not previously disclosed. Within the non-
project-based line items, the agencies are expected to follow 
the longstanding guidelines for informing and seeking the 
approval of Congress, as appropriate, for federal acquisitions. 
Each agency should prioritize acquisitions that maximize 
benefits to the public through consolidated Federal ownership 
that create management efficiencies, provide recreational 
access, or protect critical resources, such as inholdings in 
congressionally designated wilderness areas, battlefield parks 
and national scenic and historic trails. The bill also includes 
requirements for ranked project lists for the forthcoming 
fiscal year, to be submitted with the budget and subsequently, 
so as to afford Congress the ability to provide informed 
alternative allocations. The Committees expect the format for 
budget and supplemental lists to be similar to those provided 
in the fiscal year 2017 budget request for discretionary and 
mandatory projects. All project lists submitted--including both 
those submitted with the budget or the supplemental lists just 
noted--should be comprised of projects for which tracts and 
willing sellers have been identified, and an initial appraisal 
or market research has been initiated.
    Bureau of Land Management.--The Committees are concerned 
about the length of time the Bureau is spending to approve 
projects and encourages the Bureau to complete the review and 
closing of projects on a timely basis.
    Fish and Wildlife Service.--The Committees strongly 
encourage the Service to continue to provide outreach to all 
units of the National Wildlife Refuge System, including Clarks, 
Cahaba River, McKinney, Ottawa, Loxahatchee, and Edwards to 
ensure these refuges are aware of all funding opportunities 
available to fulfill the vision of Secretarial Order 3356. The 
Committees are also aware that the Green River National 
Wildlife Refuge is a newly established refuge and is eligible 
for funding under the recreational access, inholding, and other 
lines included in the alternate allocation detail table; 
therefore, the Service is encouraged to continue to use these 
additional funding tools to purchase parcels as they become 
available, as it does for other units of the National Wildlife 
Refuge System.
    Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund.--In 
addition to the allocations in the table at the end of this 
explanatory statement, this bill also includes an additional 
$19,638,000 in discretionary appropriations from the LWCF for 
Fish and Wildlife Service Habitat Conservation Plan Land 
Acquisition grants to states, as detailed in the associated 
section of this explanatory statement.
    National Park Service.--The Committees are aware of 
concerns related to State conservation grant conversion and 
improvement applications and directs the Service to make every 
effort to work with applicants to expedite the approval of 
applications that improve or increase accessibility to 
recreational facilities and open space. The Service is directed 
to evaluate the totality of an application and work to address 
issues regarding historic management to allow the Service to 
approve the application. Further, the Service is directed to 
submit a report within 180 days of enactment of this Act 
detailing the recommendations developed by a working group of 
interested stakeholders to assist States in addressing their 
obligations and compliance responsibilities, which was 
discussed in Senate Report 116-123.
    Forest Service.--The Service is expected to follow the 
longstanding process for informing and seeking the approval of 
Congress, as appropriate, for funding other Forest Legacy 
projects as ranked by the competitively selected national 
priority list, if listed projects are no longer viable and 
funding becomes available.
    Land Grants, Acequias and Community Ditches.--The 
Secretaries of the Department of the Interior and the 
Department of Agriculture are urged to recognize the 
traditional use of State-recognized community land grants, 
acequias, and community ditches in the American Southwest 
during the land use planning process. The Department of the 
Interior and the Forest Service shall, in accordance with 
applicable law, consider and, as appropriate, provide for 
within land management plans the traditional-historic uses by 
an acequias or land grant merceds recognized by the State of 
New Mexico.
    Mitigation from Border Barrier Construction.--The agreement 
does not include direction requiring a report on the impacts of 
border barrier construction.
    Public Land Orders.--In 2004, Congress passed the Alaska 
Land Transfer Acceleration Act (Public Law 108-452) to provide 
for the expedited conveyance of outstanding land selections 
prior to the 50th anniversary of statehood in 2009. More than a 
decade later progress toward lifting Public Land Orders (PLOs) 
in Alaska to facilitate conveyances remains limited. The 
Committees expect the Department to prioritize the lifting of 
PLOs in Alaska as appropriate, particularly PLO 5150, and to 
submit a plan to Congress within 120 days of enactment of this 
Act describing a process for lifting those orders.
    Race, Community, and Our Shared Future Initiative.--The 
Committees are supportive of the Smithsonian's new initiative 
``Race, Community and Our Shared Future.'' Over the next year, 
the Smithsonian expects to hold a series of town halls and 
other virtual gatherings across the country to reach a wide 
audience and engage numerous partners as well as experts from 
within the Smithsonian Institution. The Secretary of the 
Smithsonian is encouraged to engage other federal agencies in 
this initiative and is directed to report to the Committees on 
a quarterly basis on scheduled and planned discussions, 
audiences reached, partner participation, and any actionable 
items that have resulted from this initiative. The Secretary of 
the Interior, working with the Wilson Center Board of Trustees, 
is directed to work with the Smithsonian Institution on this 
new initiative.
    Training, Hiring, and Public Lands Education in Alaska.--
The directive in Public Law 116-94 regarding conducting annual 
Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act training by the 
Department of the Interior and the Forest Service is continued. 
The Committees also recognize the importance of Alaska Public 
Land Information Centers as partners and tools to educate the 
public regarding Alaska's unique public lands and encourages 
the agencies to look for opportunities to strengthen these 
critical partnerships.
    Tribal Lease Payments.--The agreement incorporates the 
fiscal year 2021 budget proposal to create separate 
appropriations accounts for 105(l) Tribal payments along with a 
general provision directing the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 
the Indian Health Service to develop guidelines regarding lease 
costs. The Committees strongly encourage both Departments to 
engage in meaningful dialogue with one another and Tribes to 
coalesce around a process to develop policy guidance. The 
Committees also note 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, and the 
Committees encourage discussion regarding the funding 
classification to continue.
    The Committees are aware of recent litigation in Federal 
courts regarding what constitutes reasonable lease costs under 
the 105(l) program. As part of the consultation required by 
language in Title IV of this Act, the Indian Health Service and 
the Department of the Interior are expected to consult with 
Tribes and Tribal organizations regarding agency regulations 
and policies that determine the amount of space and other 
standards necessary to carry out federal programs under a 
section 105(l) lease, and to ensure that such regulations and 
policies are consistent, transparent and clearly communicated 
to affected Tribes. The Service and the Department are expected 
to periodically update the Committees on the status of the 
consultation.
    Transparency.--Federal agencies funded under this Act shall 
clearly state within the text, audio, or video used for 
advertising or educational purposes, including emails or 
Internet postings, that the communication is printed, 
published, or produced and disseminated at U.S. taxpayer 
expense. The funds used by a Federal agency to carry out this 
requirement shall be derived from amounts made available to the 
agency for advertising or other communications regarding the 
programs and activities of the agency.
    Transparency of Information Regarding Grants, Agreements, 
Research, and Conference Attendance.--The agencies covered by 
this Act are encouraged to disclose the full costs of grants or 
projects in any public documents. Additionally, each agency is 
urged, prior to undertaking research, to evaluate whether the 
research will promote the progress of science in the United 
States or advance a national security or economic interest.
    Wildlife Data Coordination.--The Department of the Interior 
and the Forest Service are expected to prioritize continued 
coordination with other Federal agencies and State wildlife 
agencies to utilize State fish and wildlife data and analyses 
as an applicable source to inform land use, land planning, and 
related natural resource decisions. Federal agencies should not 
unnecessarily duplicate raw data, but when appropriate, 
evaluate existing analysis of data prepared by the States and, 
reciprocally, share data with State wildlife managers to ensure 
that the most complete data set is available for decision 
support systems.
    Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.--The Committees are 
concerned about the crisis of missing, trafficked, and murdered 
indigenous women. Native American women face high rates of 
violence and the lack of data on the number of women and girls 
who go missing or murdered further complicates the Nation's 
ability to address the crisis. The agreement includes both 
funding and report language under the Bureau of Indian Affairs 
and the Indian Health Service in order to improve the Federal 
response to this crisis.

                        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.
    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 
therefor 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. In 
addition, the Committees shall be provided advance notification 
of exchanges valued between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
    Budget Structure.--The budget activity or line item 
structure for any agency appropriation account shall not be 
altered without advance approval of the Committees.

                  TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR


                       Bureau of Land Management


                   MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    Management of Lands and Resources (MLR).--The bill provides 
$1,220,555,000 for the Management of Lands and Resources 
appropriation, and a rescission of $13,000,000 from fiscal year 
2018 and prior year unobligated funds. Allocations at the 
activity and subactivity level are contained in the table at 
the back of this explanatory statement and in the following 
narrative.
    In Land Resources, increases above the enacted level 
include $1,000,000 in cultural resources management to continue 
the predictive modeling program; and $14,190,000 in the wild 
horse and burro program, which is described in greater detail 
below.
    In Wildlife and Aquatic Habitat Management, the increase 
above the enacted level is $2,000,000 in wildlife habitat 
management for sage-grouse conservation. Within the funds being 
made available, threatened and endangered species funding 
continues at $21,567,000 and sage-grouse funding is 
$66,000,000.
    In Recreation Management, the increase above the enacted 
level is $1,000,000 in recreation resources management for 
additional stewardship activities on all 18 scenic and historic 
trails, including the Iditarod, the Pacific Crest, and the 
Oregon National. Of the funds made available for wilderness 
management, priority shall be given to activities to improve 
wilderness habitat and adjoining habitat by addressing noxious 
weed infestations and fuel loads.
    In Energy and Minerals, the increase above the enacted 
level is $1,500,000 in renewable energy. Total funding for oil 
and gas programs is above the request and sufficient to 
maintain program capacity and to continue progress toward 
cleanup of the next cluster of legacy wells in need of 
remediation.
     In Realty and Ownership Management increases above the 
enacted level include $3,000,000 in Alaska conveyance; and 
$3,000,000 in cadastral, lands, and realty management. Use of 
those increases shall be for implementing section 1119 of the 
Dingell Conservation Act (Public Law 116-9) with respect to 
Alaska Native Vietnam veterans, and for priority broadband 
development.
    In National Landscape Conservation System, the increase 
above the enacted level is $2,000,000 for enhanced inventory 
and monitoring activities and operational requirements mandated 
by recent legislative additions.
    Alaska Fire Service.--The Committees recognize the 
importance of the Alaska Fire Service and directs the Bureau, 
to the extent feasible, to partner with Federal agencies, such 
as the Denali Commission, to provide training opportunities 
that both meet the needs of the Service and provide jobs in 
rural communities.
    Bonneville Salt Flats.--The Committees expect the 
Department to implement cooperative agreements with the State 
of Utah to restore the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Committees 
direct the Department to brief the Committees on this effort 
within 45 days of enactment of this Act.
    California Desert Protection and Recreation Act.--The 
Bureau is directed to brief the Committees within 45 days on 
implementation of the Act.
    Colorado Salinity Control.--The program shall be funded and 
maintained consistent with prior years.
    Competitive Leasing Rule.--The Department is directed to 
revisit the Competitive Leasing Rule to allow a limited set of 
projects, those that applied for a right-of-way under section 
501 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 
U.S.C. 1761) on or before December 19, 2016, at their request, 
to return to the fair market rents and fees established as part 
of the Instructional Memorandum.
    Contaminated Lands.--The Bureau is directed to submit a 
list of contaminated lands that remain under its jurisdiction 
in Alaska within one year of enactment of this Act.
    Coos Bay Wagon Road Lands.--The Bureau is directed to 
ensure that county payments are made in accordance with the 
Coos Bay Wagon Road Act (Public Law 76-85) and that Sudden Oak 
Death treatments will continue at current levels.
    Fortymile Resource Management Plan.--The Bureau is 
encouraged to initiate the process of replacing the Fortymile 
Resource Management Plan with a management document that 
reflects the new ownership landscape.
    Gay Mine.--The agreement does not include House 
instructions regarding the Gay Mine site in Idaho.
    Geothermal.--The Bureau is directed to provide to the 
Committees a report within 90 days of enactment of this Act on 
the suitability of expanding the list of categorical exclusions 
currently available for geothermal energy to include those 
available for oil and gas exploration activities under Section 
390 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 15942).
    Legacy Well Remediation.--The Bureau is directed to provide 
to the Committees within 90 days of enactment of this Act a 
detailed strategy for funding completion of remediation of the 
remaining legacy wells within its jurisdiction within the next 
10 years.
    National Seed Strategy.--The Bureau is directed to ensure 
that both the program and National Seed Strategy be funded and 
operated consistent with prior years, and that the National 
Seed Strategy continues to be implemented in a manner that 
balances the need for a variety of seeds to accomplish 
immediate and long-term restoration goals.
    Required Report.--The Committees note that the required 
study under Section 1119(c) of the Dingell Conservation Act 
(Public Law 116-9) has not been received and direct the Bureau 
to meet its obligation.
    Tribal consultation on Oil and Gas.--The Bureau is 
instructed to ensure that any coordinating office created in 
partnership with other oil and gas related permitting agencies 
shall closely coordinate with all appropriate Tribal 
organizations, including the Fort Berthold Tribal authorities.
    Turn Point Lighthouse.--The Bureau is directed to brief the 
Committees within 60 days of enactment of this Act on existing 
and planned future efforts to support the Turn Point 
Lighthouse.
    Wild Horse and Burro Program.--The bill provides 
$115,745,000 for the Wild Horse and Burro program. These funds 
are in response to the Bureau's May 15, 2020 proposal to 
institute an aggressive, non-lethal population control strategy 
to address the current unsustainable trajectory of on-range 
wild horse and burro population growth. The Committees expect 
this strategy to continue and to include a robust expansion of 
fertility control utilizing methods that are proven, safe, 
effective, and humane. Such treatments and on-range gathers are 
to be maximized, even if appropriate management levels are not 
immediately achievable. As the Bureau works to substantially 
increase on-range gathers for removal, the Committees note 
concern over the Bureau's lack of action to secure cheaper and 
longer-term off-range holding facilities and pastures. The 
Committees further expect the Bureau to demonstrate its ability 
to increase its capacity for gathers; procure additional short 
and long term holding facilities; and to ensure that adequate 
staffing requirements are met, both in the field and in a 
location that will facilitate communication with policy makers. 
The Bureau shall continue to abide by the Comprehensive Animal 
Welfare Program and the statutory restrictions on sale without 
restriction, and the directives contained in House Report 116-
100, House Report 116-448, and Senate Report 116-123. Finally, 
the Committees believe that the full and successful 
implementation of the Bureau's strategy will be greatly 
enhanced with a traditional congressional communications policy 
that includes regular and timely briefings on the progress 
being made and the challenges ahead.
    Other Directives.--The Bureau shall continue implementing 
the following subject matter directives as detailed in Senate 
Report 116-123: soda ash; Arctic economic opportunities; vacant 
grazing permits; initiation of a pilot program for oil/gas 
permit processing; submission of reports; review of placer mine 
validity exams; expeditious cleanup of Alaska Native lands; the 
Red River survey; and revegetation standards. With respect to 
the revegetation standards directive, the Committees understand 
that the applicable standards for the Fortymile Mining District 
in Alaska are described in the Placer Mining Final Cumulative 
Environmental Impact Statements ordered by the U.S. District 
Court (Alaska District) in Sierra Club v. Penfold.

                            LAND ACQUISITION

                         (RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    The bill includes a rescission of $5,400,000 of prior year 
unobligated balances.

                   OREGON AND CALIFORNIA GRANT LANDS

    The bill provides $114,783,000 for the Oregon and 
California Grant Lands appropriation. Specific allocations at 
the activity and subactivity level are contained in the table 
at the back of this explanatory statement.
    Sudden Oak Death Syndrome.--The bill provides funding 
adequate to continue efforts at fighting Sudden Oak Death 
syndrome.

                           RANGE IMPROVEMENTS

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

               SERVICE CHARGES, DEPOSITS, AND FORFEITURES

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

     The bill provides an indefinite appropriation estimated to 
be $28,000,000 for Service Charges, Deposits, and Forfeitures. 
The bill also includes a rescission of $20,000,000 in 
unobligated prior year collections.

                       MISCELLANEOUS TRUST FUNDS

    The bill provides an indefinite appropriation estimated to 
be $26,000,000 for Miscellaneous Trust Funds.

                United States Fish and Wildlife Service


                          RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

    The bill provides $1,379,828,000 for Resource Management. 
All programs and activities are funded at the amounts enacted 
in fiscal year 2020 unless otherwise specified below or in the 
table at the end of this division and the agreement approves 
the proposed ethics and general operations transfers. The 
Service is expected to comply with the instructions and 
requirements at the beginning of this division and in House 
Report 116-448 unless otherwise specified below.
    Ecological Services.--The agreement provides $269,666,000 
for programs and activities within Ecological Services, 
including $20,767,000 for listing which provides a program 
increase of $500,000 above the enacted level.
    The agreement continues the direction regarding lesser 
prairie-chicken carried in the explanatory statement 
accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public 
Law 116-94) and directs the Service to continue to collaborate 
with local and regional stakeholders on improving voluntary 
solutions to conserve the species. This will help achieve the 
goals of encouraging voluntary conservation and avoiding the 
necessity of listing the species. The Service is to provide a 
briefing to the Committees on these efforts within 120 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    The agreement urges the Service to work with State and 
local governments before entering into multi-species settlement 
agreements. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public 
Law 115-141) included language directing the Service to develop 
a plan to improve the transparency of the underlying data used 
to make listing determinations and critical habitat 
designations. The Service is expected to provide the report 
required by the Act and improve upon its efforts to make 
underlying data publicly available.
    Traditional Knowledge.--The Service has not fully 
incorporated traditional Tribal knowledge in its implementation 
of the ESA, and when appropriate, is expected to make every 
effort to do so. The Service is also expected to engage in 
additional outreach to Tribal governments in circumstances 
where traditional knowledge may provide valuable information, 
including for species like the northern sea otter.
    Planning and Consultation.--The agreement provides 
$109,251,000 for project permitting and consultation activities 
which maintains the enacted level to avoid permitting delays 
and to achieve compliance with other statutes and provides a 
program increase of $500,000 to build field capacity and focus 
on technical assistance as outlined in House Report 116-448. 
Within planning and consultation, $4,000,000 is maintained for 
Gulf Coast restoration activities.
    Conservation and Restoration.--The agreement provides 
$34,617,000 for conservation and restoration activities which 
includes an increase of $500,000 for the at-risk species 
initiative outlined in the budget request and an increase of 
$500,000 for a complete survey and stock assessment report of 
the northern sea otters in southeast Alaska.
    Recovery.--The agreement provides $105,031,000 for 
activities in support of the recovery and delisting of 
threatened and endangered species which includes: $3,500,000 
for the State of the Birds; $1,200,000 for the Prescott Grant 
program; and $1,000,000 for the wolf-livestock demonstration 
program. The agreement supports focused efforts by the Service 
to prevent extinction of the most critically endangered species 
but reminds the Service of the critical importance of 
continuing to reduce the backlog of 5-year reviews and 
associated changes. The Service is directed to include 
information on whether there are areas currently under Federal 
stewardship where milkweed habitat can be restored, enhanced, 
or expanded for monarch butterfly populations in the required 
report.
    The agreement provides $9,000,000 for Recovery Challenge 
matching grants. Program direction contained in House Report 
116-448 is amended to allow for grants to be used to develop 
and implement recovery outlines, update recovery plans, and 
implement high priority recovery actions as prescribed in 
recovery plans and other public documents containing specific, 
measurable, and prioritized actions to recover federally listed 
species.
    The Service is directed to develop a multi-year funding 
cycle for the State of the Birds program that includes 
appropriate considerations for the contingency of future 
funding, and to brief the Committees no later than 90 days 
after enactment of this Act on the plan and timeline for 
implementation.
    The agreement acknowledges a highly infectious disease has 
been found in the Missouri populations of the Ozark hellbender 
and encourages the Service to support recovery efforts.
    American Burying Beetle.--The Service proposed to downlist 
the American burying beetle from endangered to threatened under 
the ESA in May 2019 and has announced the reopening of the 
public comment period on the proposed rule. Within funds 
provided, the Service is directed to finalize a rule by the end 
of the fiscal year that will provide regulatory certainty to 
the public while contributing to the conservation of the 
American burying beetle.
    Grizzly Bears.--The agreement recognizes the conservation 
efforts taken by Western States to provide for the full 
recovery of the grizzly bear. The Fish and Wildlife Service is 
urged to fully consider State conservation efforts and 
management plans and the best scientific and commercial data 
available while conducting the 5-year status review of the 
grizzly bear, and to expeditiously issue a new rule, if 
warranted, following the conclusion of the review.
    Florida Grasshopper Sparrow.--The Service is directed to 
continue to support the Florida grasshopper sparrow recovery 
efforts and the agreement maintains the increase provided in 
fiscal year 2020. Furthermore, the success of the Service's 
captive breeding program as managed by its conservation 
partners is encouraging and augmenting the wild population with 
captive bred releases as early as this year will mark an 
important new phase in the species' recovery. In addition, the 
disease and health studies necessary to understand and combat 
captive bred sparrow mortality may have important benefits to 
the recovery of other endangered birds including the Cape Sable 
seaside sparrow.
    Sea Otters.--Sea otters play a critical ecological role in 
the marine environment as a keystone species that significantly 
affects the structure and function of the surrounding 
ecosystem. However, sea otters were effectively eliminated from 
the Pacific Coast of the United States by hunters and traders 
during the 1700s and 1800s. The Service is directed to study 
the feasibility and cost of reestablishing sea otters on the 
Pacific Coast of the contiguous United States, and to report to 
the Committees on the results of such a study within one year 
of enactment of this Act.
    American Red Wolves.--The agreement supports the Service's 
recovery efforts of the American red wolf and recognizes the 
tremendous vulnerability of this species. The Service is 
encouraged to continue to partner with institutions that have 
expertise in ex-situ breeding and care, access to multi-acreage 
for research, and controlled habitat for breeding, which will 
help avoid negative impacts to landowners and other native 
species.
    Language contained in Senate Report 116-123 subtitled 
Native Handicrafts, Central Everglades Planning Project, 
Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, Corolla Wild Horses and 
Unknown Florida Panther Disorder is restated. The agreement 
reiterates that the Service's 2016 regulation does not apply to 
Alaska Native handicrafts made from walrus ivory and mammoth 
ivory.
    Subsistence Activities.--Marine mammal subsistence harvest 
management and enforcement decisions should be, to the extent 
practicable, led by Alaska Native Organizations at the local 
level, with Federal agencies working in partnership with Alaska 
Native Organizations. The Service is expected to finalize a co-
management agreement with the Alaska Nannut Co-Management 
Council (ANCC), and in the interim, to work closely with ANCC 
on enforcement actions that may arise in relation to 
subsistence uses of polar bears. The Service is directed to 
provide funding to Alaska Native Organizations with which it 
co-manages marine mammals at no less than fiscal year 2020 
levels. Within 120 days of the enactment of this Act, the 
Service shall submit a report on its efforts to work 
collaboratively with other Federal agencies on activities 
related to marine mammal subsistence harvests.
    Habitat Conservation.--The agreement provides $70,219,000 
for habitat conservation programs, of which $56,859,000 is for 
the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program and $13,360,000 is 
for the Coastal Program. The recommendation provides $1,750,000 
for the Chesapeake Bay nutria eradication project and 
$5,132,000 for Klamath River habitat restoration.
    National Wildlife Refuge System.--The agreement provides 
$503,853,000 for the National Wildlife Refuge System.
    Wildlife and Habitat Management.--The agreement provides: 
$13,425,000 for invasive species; $1,750,000 for the Chesapeake 
Bay nutria eradication project; $500,000 to help refuges 
improve water efficiency in order to maintain, improve, replace 
and upgrade refuge infrastructure on areas such as the Quivira 
National Wildlife Refuge; and $1,500,000 for Pacific Marine 
National Monuments.
    The Service is encouraged to fill long vacant staffing 
positions in refuges that have not had a full-time refuge 
manager in at least three years. In addition, the Service is 
directed to continue to work in cooperation with the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to support research, 
management, and education for existing marine national 
monuments off the continental United States.
    Rio Mora National Wildlife Refuge.--The Service's efforts 
to support staffing and educational programming at Rio Mora 
National Wildlife Refuge are appreciated. As the refuge 
transitions from nonprofit to Federal support, consistent with 
the long-term vision for the refuge, the bill includes funds to 
complete the conversion of staff positions. The Service is 
urged to open the positions to applicants from both inside and 
outside the Federal Government.
    Polar Bear Tourism.--There are significant concerns among 
residents in Kaktovik, Alaska, related to the Service's program 
for polar bear viewing. While tourism has increased 
significantly in recent years, there are reports of bears 
becoming less fearful of humans as a result of tourism, leading 
to more human encounters with bears within the village. In 
addition, tourism has reportedly made it more difficult for 
residents to travel to and from Kaktovik, given the limited 
availability of air service. The Service is instructed to 
review its program for polar bear tourism, consult and 
incorporate the views of Kaktovik residents in its decisions 
related to the program, and explore cooperative management of 
the Beaufort polar bear population with Native peoples in the 
village.
    Continued Funding Prohibitions.--The Service is to continue 
to follow the directive from previous fiscal years that 
prohibits a caribou hunt on Kagalaska Island and efforts to 
remove cattle on Chirikof and Wosnesenski Islands in the State 
of Alaska.
    Planning and Management of Remote Sites.--Physically 
isolated sites present special challenges for the Service 
because of the high cost of transportation to and from such 
areas. The Service's use of satellites and other remote sensing 
data for such areas is commended and the Service is urged to 
conduct site assessments in accordance with a comprehensive 
plan for conservation and management.
    Visitor Services.--The agreement includes $75,033,000 which 
includes $5,500,000 for the Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership 
program.
    Refuge Maintenance.--The agreement includes $145,822,000 
which includes $24,850,000 for annual maintenance and 
$46,579,000 for deferred maintenance as requested. 
Additionally, $12,201,000 is provided for equipment and vehicle 
management and $62,318,000 for maintenance support.
    Conservation and Enforcement.--The agreement provides 
$157,765,000 for other conservation and enforcement programs as 
described below.
    Migratory Bird Management.--The agreement provides 
$47,873,000 which includes $28,784,000 for Conservation and 
Monitoring which includes $600,000 to manage bird-livestock 
conflicts and $15,122,000 for the North American Waterfowl 
Management Plan/Joint Ventures program.
    Law Enforcement.--The agreement provides $86,860,000 for 
law enforcement activities to help combat illegal global 
wildlife trafficking and implement the Lacey Act, as amended 
(Public Law 110-246). The Committees remain concerned about the 
global health risk from wildlife to human disease transmission, 
which has been heightened by the recent national health 
emergencies and includes an additional $3,500,000 for increased 
port inspections and $1,500,000 for intelligence efforts which 
may also be used as needed to supplement inspections. In 
addition, $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 $23,032,000 
including $10,294,000 for International Conservation and 
$12,738,000 for International Wildlife Trade, of which 
$3,000,000 is for the electronic permit application and 
processing system. Technological innovation has become 
increasingly important in wildlife management and the agreement 
provides $1,000,000 to implement section 7001 of Public Law 
116-9, the Wildlife Innovation and Longevity Driver (WILD) Act, 
which established the Theodore Roosevelt Genius Prizes for 
technological innovation to help conserve and manage wildlife. 
A comprehensive scientific research application has been 
submitted by certain Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) 
facilities to the Service that could contribute to the 
scientific knowledge about polar bear biology and reproduction, 
thereby enhancing conservation efforts. The Service is 
encouraged to consider this application in a timely fashion. 
The recommendation also includes bill language regarding the 
obligation and distribution of FY 2018 international grant 
funds.
    Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of 
Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Permits.--The Service is directed 
to conduct an internal review of its current CITES Flora 
permitting process, in an effort to identify any inefficiencies 
resulting in significant delays of permit approval. Within 150 
days of enactment of this Act, the Service is to provide a 
detailed report of its findings to the Committees. The Service 
should consider alternative solutions to the current CITES 
permitting process that would ameliorate any delays and include 
these suggestions in its report.
    The Service is directed to provide the briefing required in 
the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 116-94 on its 
current policy for sport-hunted trophies and its analysis on 
exporting countries' conservation programs and species survival 
within 60 days of enactment of this Act.
    Fish and Aquatic Conservation.--The agreement provides 
$206,613,000 for fish and aquatic conservation programs.
    National Fish Hatchery System Operations.--The agreement 
provides $65,551,000 which maintains the enacted level for 
programs outlined in House Report 116-448 and includes 
$3,750,000 for Klamath Basin restoration activities and 
$4,700,000 for mitigation of the Pacific Salmon Treaty of which 
$1,556,000 is for the Yukon River Salmon Agreement. The Service 
is directed to continue to work in cooperation with State fish 
and game agencies on marking of anadromous fish. The agreement 
maintains funding for mass marking at the fiscal year 2020 
enacted level and provides the requested program increase of 
$1,394,000. The Service is encouraged to include adequate 
support for mitigation activities at National Fish Hatcheries 
in future budget submissions. Additionally, funds are 
maintained at the enacted levels for the improvements to 
aquatic habitat through the removal of locks and dams, and the 
recommendation continues enacted funding for Klamath Basin 
restoration and monitoring activities. 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.
    Maintenance and Equipment.--The agreement provides 
$25,822,000 for maintenance and equipment expenses.
    Habitat Assessment and Restoration.--The agreement provides 
$42,289,000, which includes $10,000,000 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 
activities. The Service's Southeast Region and Kentucky Field 
Office is to be commended for its ongoing efforts to work with 
Federal, State, and local partners to remove deauthorized and 
defunct locks and dams on the Green River and a key tributary, 
the Barren River. Removal of additional dams will provide 
important ecological, safety, and public access improvements, 
benefiting local communities and a growing outdoor recreation 
economy, and these efforts are encouraged. The Service is urged 
to complete the report on the feasibility of the removal of the 
Warren Mill Dam for fish passage. The Service is also 
encouraged to support the Delaware River Basin Restoration 
Program's existing, successful practice of allowing cash or in-
kind contributions of services or materials to be used for the 
non-Department of the Interior share of the cost of a project 
funded under the grant program. Within the funds provided, 
Klamath Basin restoration activities are maintained at the 
enacted levels and the Service is directed to work with the 
affected Tribes on fish restoration activities.
    National Fish Habitat Program.--The Service has worked to 
reduce administrative costs in the National Fish Habitat 
Program and is directed to report back within 30 days of 
enactment of this Act with an explanation of the actions taken.
    Population Assessment and Cooperative Management.--The 
agreement provides $31,792,000 which includes $1,890,000 for 
Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration; $818,000 for the 
Lake Champlain sea lamprey program; and $250,000 from within 
available funds for snakehead eradication.
    Aquatic Invasive Species.--The agreement includes 
$41,159,000 for the aquatic invasive species programs, of 
which: $2,834,000 is to help States implement plans required by 
the National Invasive Species Act (NISA); $1,566,000 is for 
NISA coordination; $4,088,000 is to implement subsection 
5(d)(2) of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act; $25,000,000 is for 
Asian carp as outlined in House Report 116-448 and Senate 
Report 116-123 including not less than $3,000,000 for contract 
fishing; $3,500,000 is to prevent the spread of quagga and 
zebra mussels of which $2,250,000 is for control and 
eradication and $1,250,000 is for NISA State and Interstate 
Plans; $200,000 for research on hydrilla, eel, and milfoil 
invasive grasses; and $1,011,000 is for Great Lakes Sea Lamprey 
administration costs. Given that efforts to prevent 
introductions of aquatic invasive species are usually much more 
efficient than efforts to mitigate or respond to widespread 
invasions, the Service is requested to give a high priority to 
prevention activities, including inspection and decontamination 
efforts at points of entry to regions that are largely 
uncontaminated but susceptible to new introductions. Within 120 
days of enactment of this Act, the Service shall submit a 
report describing its current efforts to prevent the 
introduction of invasive species to uninvaded ecosystems.
    The Service is directed to pursue technologies to aid in 
the elimination, mitigation, or control of aquatic nuisance 
species and invasive species, with an emphasis on methods that 
do not result in the addition of chemical agents to the 
ecosystem and that do not result in harmful secondary by-
products, such as algal blooms, taste and odor concerns, and 
toxic by-products. Of particular interest are those 
technologies that can be implemented without extensive 
infrastructure modification and those that show immediate 
economic benefit as compared to the currently used methods of 
control, such as periodic physical removal and ongoing or 
periodic chemical treatment.
    Invasive plant and animal species are a pervasive problem 
affecting communities across the Nation. Invasive species such 
as the Asian carp, quagga and zebra mussels, emerald ash borer, 
Eurasian milfoil, elodea and the hemlock woolly adelgid 
threaten our natural resources and wreak havoc on the 
communities and industries that rely upon them. Preventing 
invasive species from gaining a foothold in our communities and 
suppressing established species is of utmost importance. The 
recommendation makes several increases to programs designed to 
combat invasive species before and after they become a problem. 
The Service is encouraged to support research, monitoring, and 
mitigation efforts, as well as efforts to disseminate such work 
in all regions and the Service is directed to continue to make 
available competitive grant funding for projects to eliminate 
these destructive, non-native species.
    Cooperative Landscape Conservation.--The agreement includes 
$12,500,000 for Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs). The 
Service is directed to promptly submit the required report 
outlining how this program deviates from that which was 
presented to Congress in the annual budget justifications. This 
report must include how the Service will engage previous 
stakeholders and how conservation efforts are aligned with 
partners, especially what will be done to ensure there is 
collaborative conservation on a landscape scale in fiscal year 
2021 in addition to efforts through Migratory Bird Joint 
Ventures; Fish Habitat Partnerships; Nature's Network; the 
Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy; the Midwest 
Landscape Initiative; and the Californian Landscape 
Conservation Partnership.
    Science Support.--The agreement provides $17,267,000 for 
the Science Support program, which includes $3,500,000 for 
white nose syndrome and maintains the enacted level for Gulf 
Coast ecosystem restoration. The Service is encouraged to 
continue dedicating at least $2,000,000 of funds appropriated 
in Recovery to white-nose syndrome work. Best practices 
developed in response to white nose syndrome are directed to be 
applied in response to other new and emerging high-risk 
wildlife diseases. The Service should also continue, along with 
the U.S. Geological Survey, to lead and implement the North 
American Bat Monitoring Program in association with other 
Federal natural resource management agencies and offices, 
States, Tribes, and non-governmental partners.
    General Operations.--The agreement provides $141,945,000 
for general operations and includes $25,758,000 for central 
office operations; $44,166,000 for management and 
administration; and $35,748,000 for Servicewide bill paying. 
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is funded at 
$7,022,000 and the National Conservation Training Center is 
funded at $26,014,000. The recommendation includes $3,237,000 
for Aviation Management.
    The agreement continues support for the Everglades at not 
less than the fiscal year 2020 enacted level.

                              CONSTRUCTION

    The bill provides $18,193,000 for Construction which 
includes $5,398,000 for line item construction; $5,000,000 for 
the backlog of deferred maintenance principally at national 
fish hatcheries and national wildlife refuges; $2,427,000 for 
bridge and dam safety; and $5,368,000 for nationwide 
engineering services. For line item construction, the Service 
is expected to follow the project priority list in the table 
below. When a construction project is completed or terminated 
and appropriated funds remain, the Service may use those 
balances to respond to unforeseen reconstruction, replacement, 
or repair of facilities or equipment damaged or destroyed by 
storms, floods, fires and similar unanticipated natural events. 
The Service is directed to provide a spend plan to the 
Committees within 120 days of enactment of this Act for the 
additional deferred maintenance funding. The detailed 
allocation of funding by activity is included in the table at 
the end of this explanatory statement.

Act, the Bureau shall provide a briefing and plan on its marine 
minerals program activities for fiscal year 2021.
    Preleasing.--The Bureau is directed to brief the Committees 
on its definition of Outer Continental Shelf preleasing 
activities within 60 days of enactment of this Act.

             OFFSHORE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $193,812,000 for the Offshore Safety and 
Environmental Enforcement appropriation. This amount is 
partially offset through the collection of rental receipts, 
cost recovery fees and inspection fees totaling $73,647,000, 
resulting in a net appropriation of $120,165,000. Specific 
allocations at the activity level are contained in the table at 
the back of this explanatory statement. The increase in the 
Operations activity is for additional safety personnel. The 
bill also contains a rescission of $10,000,000 in unobligated 
prior year funds.

                           OIL SPILL RESEARCH

    The bill provides $14,899,000 for Oil Spill Research.

          Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement


                       REGULATION AND TECHNOLOGY

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $117,768,000 for the Regulation and 
Technology appropriation. Specific allocations at the activity 
level are contained in the table at the back of this 
explanatory statement. The bill provides the full enacted level 
of $68,590,000 for State and Tribal regulatory grants, ensuring 
each State and Tribe receives requested funding for program 
operations, and excess amounts, if any, subject to the 
Committees' reprogramming procedures. The bill also rescinds 
$25,000,000 of built up carryover balances that are no longer 
necessary.

                    ABANDONED MINE RECLAMATION FUND

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

     The bill provides $139,831,000 for the Abandoned Mine 
Reclamation Fund appropriation. Specific allocations at the 
activity level are contained in the table at the back of this 
explanatory statement. Of the funds provided, $24,831,000 is 
derived from the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund, and 
$115,000,000 is derived from the General Fund and shall be 
distributed to states consistent with the direction provided in 
Senate Report 116-123. The bill also includes a rescission 
$10,000,000 from prior year unobligated funds.

                             INDIAN AFFAIRS


                        Bureau of Indian Affairs


                      OPERATION OF INDIAN PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $1,616,532,000 for Operation of Indian 
Programs. All programs, projects, and activities are maintained 
at fiscal year 2020 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 116-448, unless otherwise specified below. 
Language contained in Senate Report 116-123 regarding 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) high risk management 
challenges; GAO recommendations and funding of road 
maintenance; funding for all Tribes with resource challenges; 
transboundary rivers; protecting Indian trust resources from 
wildfire and threats; Office of Wildland Fire; inventory of 
wells; GAO recommendations and barriers to resource 
development; and Public Law 102-477 is restated. 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 2020 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, the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs (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. The bill 
provides that $1,000,000 of funds provided for Assistant 
Secretary Support within Executive Direction and Administrative 
Services is not available for obligation until Indian Affairs 
provides the requested Tiwahe reports to the Committees.
    Tribal Government.--The recommendation provides 
$341,031,000 for Tribal government programs and includes an 
additional $500,000 for school bus roads in the Road 
Maintenance program and a total of $1,624,000 for New Tribes 
funding.
    Human Services.--The bill provides $161,226,000 for human 
services programs. The agreement includes $16,907,000 for the 
Indian Child Welfare Act, which continues $1,000,000 to 
implement section 202 of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 
U.S.C. 1932), and a general program increase of $2,000,000 for 
Welfare Assistance for a total funding level of $78,000,000. 
BIA is instructed to report back within 30 days of enactment of 
this Act on how this funding will be distributed. The 
Committees remain concerned about previous transfers in funding 
for welfare assistance, social services, and the Indian Child 
Welfare Act (Public Law 95-608), and direct the Bureau to brief 
the Committees within 30 days of enactment of this Act 
regarding the formula and funding allocation for these 
activities.
    Trust--Natural Resources Management.--The bill provides 
$258,842,000 for natural resources management programs. Within 
Natural Resources (TPA), $1,000,000 is provided for the Indian 
Youth Service Corp, authorized by section 9003 of the John D. 
Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act of 
2019. In addition, funding to implement section 7 of the Elwha 
River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act (Public Law 102-
495) has been completed and the reduction of $2,000,000 is 
reflected in the total. In addition, $42,811,000 is provided 
for Rights Protection Implementation, of which an increase of 
$1,000,000 over the fiscal year 2020 enacted level is for law 
enforcement needs for treaty sites on the Columbia River. The 
agreement continues funding for the Everglades and the Pacific 
Salmon Treaty at fiscal year 2020 levels.
    The Committees are aware that the Bureau is in the process 
of analyzing additional funding requirements needed to support 
the sites and implement the Columbia River In-Lieu and Treaty 
Fishing Access Sites Improvement Act (Public Law 116-99), and 
expect the Bureau to provide a report within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act that details how the increased funds 
provided by Congress in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 were 
allocated and what additional resources are necessary to ensure 
adequate infrastructure, security, and sanitation at the sites 
in future fiscal years.
    Within the Tribal Management Development program, the bill 
includes an additional $200,000 to advance the understanding of 
salmon and steelhead habitat for a total of $830,000. Funding 
is continued at fiscal year 2020 enacted levels to develop 
Tribal buffalo herds and support related activities; and for 
pilot projects and programs for Alaska subsistence activities 
as further outlined in Senate Report 116-123. The Bureau is 
expected to continue pilot projects and programs for Alaska 
subsistence and keep the Committees apprised of changes in the 
distribution methodology. In addition, the agreement includes 
$4,208,000 for Endangered Species; $16,956,000 for Tribal 
Climate Resilience/Cooperative landscape conservation; 
$10,776,000 for Invasive Species within the Agriculture Program 
(TPA); a $500,000 increase for water management, planning and 
pre-development for a total of $9,052,000; and an additional 
$1,000,000 for Fish, Wildlife and Parks Projects for a total of 
$10,945,000.
    The Committees note that BIA has not yet complied with a 
directive included in Senate Report 116-123 to produce and make 
publicly available a list of Tribes that have established 
fishing rights and operate fish hatcheries but do not currently 
receive fish hatchery operations funding. The Committees expect 
the Bureau to transmit such list to the Committees within 60 
days of enactment of this Act. The Bureau is urged to continue 
to work with the Tolowa Dee-Ni' Tribe and the State of 
California regarding a reserved fishing right.
    The requested move of Minerals and Mining from Community 
and Economic Development to Trust--Natural Resources Management 
is approved, however, it is expected that there will be no 
reduction or relocation of FTEs.
    The Committees are particularly concerned about coastal 
Tribal communities and Alaska Native Villages that face severe 
challenges to their long-term resilience due to climate change 
impacts and expect the Bureau to prioritize the needs of Tribal 
communities that face significant threats to public safety, 
sacred sites, and natural resource values, including threats to 
endangered or threatened species.
    The agreement includes $600,000 for the Assistant Secretary 
for Indian Affairs to continue its support for ongoing Tribal 
cultural resource investigations in the Chaco Canyon region of 
the Southwest, as instructed in the explanatory statement 
accompanying the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 
(Public Law 116-94).
    Trust--Real Estate Services.--The bill provides 
$140,663,000 for real estate services, of which an additional 
$500,000 is for Environmental Quality Projects; an additional 
$400,000 is for Water Rights Negotiation; and an additional 
$300,000 is for rights protection litigation support. Funding 
is continued at enacted levels with fixed costs for the Alaska 
Native Claims Settlement Act historical places.
    The Committees are concerned that recruitment and retention 
challenges for positions related to Trust-Real Estate Services 
negatively impact the ability of the Department in carrying out 
its duties as a Trustee for Indian trust lands and interfere 
with Tribal economic development opportunities. In addition to 
the agency-wide staffing and vacancies report, the Bureau is 
directed to brief the Committees within 180 days of enactment 
of this Act regarding pay disparities for real estate and 
appraisal personnel between the Bureau and other Federal 
agencies.
    The Committees are aware of ongoing process issues 
concerning the receipt of paperwork to the Office of Trust 
Services. It is the Committees' understanding that the Office 
of Trust Services has no standard procedure for how it receives 
inter-agency or external documentation via mail. The lack of 
procedure has resulted in the loss and re-issuance of timely 
transfer paperwork needed for Tribal development. Given these 
ongoing issues, the BIA shall report to the Committees within 
90 days of enactment of this Act on the standard procedure 
being established to confirm receipt of paperwork received 
through the mail and ensure it is forwarded to the appropriate 
recipient. Additionally, the report shall cover any inter-
agency coordination that is being updated to comply with the 
new procedure.
    Public Safety and Justice.--The bill provides $448,722,000 
for public safety and justice programs. Language contained in 
the explanatory statement to accompany the Further Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-94) regarding 
coordination and data collection among law enforcement is 
restated. Within Criminal Investigations and Police Services, 
an additional $2,000,000 is provided to solve Missing and 
Murdered Indigenous Women cold cases, an additional $1,000,000 
is for background checks to hire more law enforcement officers; 
and an additional $500,000 is for law enforcement to implement 
the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act 
(NAGPRA).
    The agreement includes $106,407,000 for Detention/
Corrections. The amount for this program is reduced by 
$2,500,000 to account for savings from unstaffed regional 
detention facilities but the program recommendation also 
includes an additional $1,000,000 to supplement fiscal year 
2020 funding levels to hire additional detention/corrections 
staff at facilities located on Indian lands and an additional 
$1,000,000 to expedite background checks for detention 
facilities.
    The recommendation includes $19,783,000 for Law Enforcement 
Special Initiatives, of which an additional $1,000,000 is to 
purchase equipment to collect and preserve evidence at crime 
scenes throughout Indian Country; $750,000 is to increase the 
number of Victim Witness Specialists; and $3,020,000 is to 
address missing and murdered indigenous women, as requested by 
the Administration.
    The recommendation continues $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.
    Within Tribal Justice Support, $3,000,000 is continued for 
activities to implement and ensure compliance with the Violence 
Against Women Act and $15,000,000 is to address the needs of 
Tribes affected by Public Law 93-280 and as further outlined in 
the Senate Report 116-123. An additional $500,000 is included 
for facilities operations and maintenance to supplement fiscal 
year 2020 funding levels for facilities located on Indian lands 
and an additional $2,000,000 is provided for Tribal Courts 
(TPA).
    Community and Economic Development.--The bill provides 
$24,472,000 for community and economic development programs, 
which reflects the transfer of Minerals and Mining to Trust--
Natural Resources Management, and includes $13,515,000 for Job 
Placement and Training (TPA) and $3,266,000 for Economic 
development (TPA), of which $500,000 is for business 
incubators, and $7,691,000 is for Community Development Central 
Oversight, of which an additional $500,000 is to implement the 
NATIVE Act and $500,000 is for the HEARTH Act. The agreement 
continues $3,000,000 for grants to federally recognized Indian 
Tribes and Tribal organizations to provide native language 
instruction and immersion programs to Native students not 
enrolled at BIE schools, including those Tribes and 
organizations in states without Bureau-funded schools.
    Executive Direction and Administrative Services.--The bill 
includes $241,576,000 for executive direction and 
administrative services, of which: $10,788,000 is for Assistant 
Secretary Support, which includes $400,000 to implement the 
PROGRESS Act. The bill also withholds $1,000,000 until the 
Secretary provides the requested Tiwahe reports. The Committees 
intend that no other programs or activities will be reduced to 
offset the decreased funds until the reports are provided. The 
agreement rejects the reduction to Labor-Related payments.

                         CONTRACT SUPPORT COSTS

    The bill provides an indefinite appropriation for contract 
support costs, consistent with fiscal year 2020 and estimated 
to be $335,000,000.

                       PAYMENTS FOR TRIBAL LEASES

    The bill includes language establishing an indefinite 
appropriation for payment of Tribal leases under section 105(l) 
of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, 
which are estimated to be $21,593,000 in fiscal year 2021. The 
new account provides additional budget authority to fully fund 
such costs without the need for reprogramming, if actual costs 
exceed the current estimate. Indian Affairs is reminded of the 
directive to continue to seek a longer-term solution, as 
contained in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 
116-94. Further direction is provided in the bill under Title 
IV of this division.

                              CONSTRUCTION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $128,818,000 for Construction. All 
programs, projects, and activities are maintained at fiscal 
year 2020 levels, except for requested fixed cost increases and 
transfers, or unless otherwise specified below. Language 
contained in Senate Report 116-123 regarding dam safety is 
restated.
    Public Safety and Justice Construction.--The bill provides 
$42,811,000 for public safety and justice construction and 
includes the following: $25,500,000 for facilities replacement 
and new construction; $4,494,000 for employee housing; 
$9,372,000 for facilities improvement and repair; $171,000 for 
fire safety coordination; and $3,274,000 for fire protection.
    Green Infrastructure.--With the funds provided, the 
agreement continues to encourage the Department to include 
green infrastructure as stated in the explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 116-94 and to submit a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act describing how the Department incorporated these 
activities.
    The Bureau is expected to distribute funds provided in this 
Act to expeditiously complete construction of adult detention 
center projects that were previously awarded. Remaining amounts 
should be considered available for all public safety and 
justice facilities, consistent with previous direction. 
Direction is reiterated for the Bureau to: (1) produce and 
maintain a plan to improve public safety and justice facilities 
in poor condition; and (2) provide a draft plan within 120 days 
of enactment of this Act with next steps including Tribal 
consultation.
    The Committees are aware there are many condemned 
facilities across the country including the Hopi, White 
Mountain Apache, and San Carlos Apache public safety and 
justice facilities. The Bureau is directed to report back 
within 90 days of enactment of this Act with a comprehensive 
list of condemned facilities that need to be replaced. 
Additionally, the Bureau is directed to provide a briefing to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its long-
term plans for the replacement of the ``Building 86'' public 
safety facility operated by the San Carlos Apache Tribe within 
90 days of enactment of this Act.
    Resources Management Construction.--The bill provides 
$71,408,000 for resources management construction programs and 
includes the following: $28,706,000 for irrigation project 
construction, which restores funding for the Navajo Indian 
Irrigation Project to the fiscal year 2020 level and provides 
fixed costs and $10,000,000 is for projects authorized by the 
WIIN Act (Public Law 114-322); $2,659,000 for engineering and 
supervision; $1,016,000 for survey and design; $656,000 for 
Federal power compliance; and $38,371,000 for dam safety and 
maintenance. The Committees expect the funds designated for 
WIIN Act (Public Law 114-322) activities will be deposited into 
the Indian Irrigation Fund and fund those projects authorized 
by Public Law 114-322.
    The Committees are concerned about recent issues with 
diversion calculations and other management decisions by the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Reclamation which 
impacted Colorado River Indian Tribes' access to water 
resources in fiscal year 2020. The Committees expect the Bureau 
to improve coordination with the Bureau of Reclamation and with 
Colorado River Indian Tribes, and to finalize new standard 
operating procedures for the Colorado River Irrigation Project 
by no later than December 31, 2020, to ensure that the 
projected year-end diversions are consistent and based upon the 
best available data so that the Tribes may make use of their 
full water allocation.
    Other Program Construction.--The bill provides $14,599,000 
for other program construction and includes $1,419,000 for 
telecommunications; $3,919,000 for facilities and quarters; and 
$9,261,000 for program management, which includes $3,281,000 to 
continue the project at Fort Peck.

 INDIAN LAND AND WATER CLAIM SETTLEMENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS PAYMENTS TO 
                                INDIANS

    The bill provides $45,644,000 for Indian Land and Water 
Claim Settlements and Miscellaneous Payments to Indians, 
ensuring that Indian Affairs will meet the statutory deadlines 
of all authorized settlement agreements to date. The agreement 
updates the bill language to reflect those settlements that 
have been completed: Public Law 100-580, Public Law 101-618, 
Public Law 111-11, and Public Law 111-291. The recommended 
level enables Indian Affairs to make a payment, in an amount to 
be determined by the Secretary, to the Blackfeet Settlement 
Trust Fund. The Department is directed to submit a spending 
plan to the Committees within 45 days of enactment of this Act 
on how it plans to allocate the funds provided by the bill for 
the specific settlements.

                 INDIAN GUARANTEED LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT

    The bill provides $11,797,000 for the Indian Guaranteed 
Loan Program Account to facilitate business investments in 
Indian Country.

                       Bureau of Indian Education


                 OPERATION OF INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAMS

    Bureau of Indian Education.--The bill includes $973,092,000 
for the operation of the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). All 
programs, projects, and activities are maintained at fiscal 
year 2020 levels, except for requested fixed cost increases and 
transfers, or unless otherwise specified below. For this and 
all other Bureau accounts funded in this bill, BIE is expected 
to comply with the instructions and requirements at the 
beginning of this division and in House Report 116-448, unless 
otherwise specified below. Additional details, instructions, 
and requirements follow below and in the table at the end of 
this division. Language contained in Senate Report 116-123 
regarding support for BIE reforms; GAO documented management 
challenges; broadening access to Native languages and previous 
funding use; data collection on student absences; integrating 
school-based preventative health services; and compliance with 
education laws is restated.
    Tribal grant support costs are funded at current estimates. 
Within education program enhancements, a total of $4,000,000 is 
included for Native language immersion grants at BIE-funded 
schools; $21,000,000 is included for Early Child and Family 
Development programs; $5,000,000 is included for Tribal 
Education Departments, and an additional $500,000 is included 
for Student Transportation. An additional $6,000,000 general 
program increase is included for the ISEP Formula Funds. Post-
secondary programs (forward-funded) are provided with 
$110,919,000.
    The Committees are concerned that the failure to request 
adequate resources to cover full fixed cost requirements, 
including funds to meet the legal requirement to compensate 
teachers and counselors at a pay rate that is consistent with 
the Defense Department Overseas Teachers Pay and Personnel Act 
(Public Law 86-91), have resulted in schools having to absorb 
these escalating costs at the expense of other program 
requirements. The agreement directs the Bureau to produce the 
report directed by House Report 116-448 regarding the 
implementation of Defense Department-equivalent pay rates by no 
later than 120 days from enactment of this Act. The Bureau is 
also directed to clearly display funding amounts required to 
comply with Defense Department-equivalent pay rates as part of 
future budget justifications and to include sufficient funding 
in its budget request to fully fund these requirements.
    Elementary/Secondary Programs.--The bill includes 
$153,477,000 for Elementary/Secondary Programs, which maintains 
Facilities Operations at the enacted levels, including fixed 
costs, and accounts for the transfer of funds to pay for 105(l) 
leases through a new indefinite appropriations account. An 
additional $50,000 is included for Juvenile Detention Education 
and an additional $1,000,000 is provided for the Johnson 
O'Malley program, which also maintains $2,500,000 in funds 
provided in previous fiscal years for capacity building.
    Education Management.--The agreement includes $48,300,000 
for Education Management, which includes an additional 
$5,000,000 for Education IT. The importance of bringing 
broadband to BIE-funded schools is understood but concerns 
remain about how these funds are used and the planning process 
used for this type of investment. The agency is directed to 
report back within 90 days of enactment of this Act on a 
scalable plan to increase bandwidth in BIE-funded schools, 
procure computers, and acquire software. This report should 
also include how the Bureau is working with other Federal 
agencies to coordinate and plan for the technology buildout.

                         EDUCATION CONSTRUCTION

    Education Construction.--The bill provides $264,277,000 for 
schools and related facilities within the BIE system and 
includes the following: $115,504,000 for replacement school 
campus construction; $23,935,000 for replacement facility 
construction; $13,581,000 for employee housing repair; and 
$95,257,000 for facilities improvement and repair. Funding is 
provided for replacement/new employee housing, as requested, 
and $15,000,000 is provided for Tribal colleges and 
universities' facilities requirements.
    The Committees recognize that many Tribal colleges and 
universities (TCUs) have significant unfunded needs and direct 
BIE and the Assistant Secretary, Indian Affairs (ASIA) to work 
with Tribal leaders and other stakeholders to develop a 
consistent methodology for determining TCU operating and 
maintenance needs to inform future budget requests. The 
Committees previously directed BIE to develop a methodology 
regarding TCU operating and facility needs. The Committees 
again direct BIE and ASIA to assess TCU facility needs and to 
develop a distribution methodology to address these needs. The 
Committees also direct the BIE to report back within 60 days of 
enactment of this Act on how it conducts student counts at TCUs 
and how funding is provided to address facilities operation, 
maintenance, and construction needs.
    Green Infrastructure.--With the funds provided, the 
agreement continues to encourage the Department to include 
green infrastructure as stated in the explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 116-94 and to submit a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act describing how the Department incorporated these 
activities.
    Education Construction Site Assessment and Capital 
Investment Program.--The Committees recognize the efforts of 
Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Education to develop 
and communicate to Tribes a comprehensive, system-wide approach 
to school repair and replacement, as the Committees have 
directed the agencies to do since the fiscal year 2015 
appropriation, which should include a clearly identified list 
of prioritized projects to be accomplished with annual 
discretionary and mandatory appropriations. The agencies are 
encouraged to continue working with Tribes to develop and 
refine the program and are directed to provide feedback to 
Tribes throughout the process, consistent with direction 
contained in House Report 116-448 on Tribal consultation. The 
program must provide for data entry training of all on-site 
facilities managers and must not disincentivize any Tribe from 
making improvements with its own funds.

                       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

    The agreement continues to allow transfers of Tribal 
priority allocations funds between BIA Operation of Indian 
Programs and BIE Operation of Indian Education Programs 
initiated at the request of an Indian Tribe. This authority 
does not apply to any other transfers, including those to 
separate the BIA and the BIE.

           Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians


                         FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $108,399,000 for the Office of the 
Special Trustee for American Indians (OST) and rejects the 
proposed budget structure for a new Bureau of Trust Funds 
Administration (BTFA) within the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary--Indian Affairs. This should not be construed as 
interfering with the statutorily required sunset of OST. 
Rather, it is a signal that Congress does not accept the 
Department's decision to move forward with its budget proposal 
to create BTFA without waiting for the resolution of the 
proposal through the fiscal year 2021 appropriations process 
and over the clear objections of the House of Representatives. 
The decision to transfer the functions of OST wholesale into a 
new bureau also raises questions about whether it is consistent 
with provisions of the 1994 Indian Trust Reform Management Act 
(Public Law 103-412), which created OST on a temporary basis 
until the completion of certain trust reforms, or with the 
existing transition plan for OST proposed by the Administration 
and adopted by Congress in fiscal year 2019.
    The Committees note that Secretarial Order 3384 dated 
August 31, 2020, requires OST to report to the Secretary. The 
Committees are concerned that this conflicts with the 
Department's fiscal year 2019 reorganization, which shifted 
OST's reporting structure from the Secretary to the Assistant 
Secretary--Indian Affairs. The Committees direct the Department 
to report within 45 days of enactment of this Act on how it 
will reconcile Secretarial Order 3384 with the fiscal year 2019 
reorganization.
    Congress recognizes the improvements OST has made and 
continues to make to account for and carry out trust functions. 
However, Congress repeatedly hears from Tribes and Tribal 
organizations that many of OST's functions and activities are 
duplicative, overlapping, or fragmented with activities carried 
out by Indian Affairs. While Congress understands OST consulted 
with Tribes about possible duplication, Tribes state their 
concerns were not fairly considered. It is for these reasons 
that the House rejected the proposed BTFA structure in its 
fiscal year 2021 bill.
    It is expected that the incoming Administration will 
perform its own analysis of its trust responsibilities under 
the 1994 Act and subsequent legislation and that committees of 
jurisdiction, including the House and Senate Appropriations 
Committees, will consider any proposals to address the future 
disposition of OST without prejudice. In the meantime, within 
180 days of enactment of this Act, the Department is directed 
to provide a report that details: (1) the amounts and sources 
of funds expended in the creation of BTFA, and a justification 
of the expenditures, including the legal authority upon which 
they were based; (2) a detailed policy and legal analysis 
regarding whether transferring all OST duties, functions, and 
activities to BTFA is consistent with the provisions of the 
1994 Act and subsequent legislation, as well as whether it is 
consistent with the 2019 OST reorganization agreed to by the 
Committees with the understanding the reorganization was not 
making OST permanent; and (3) a complete workforce analysis 
that details current OST or BTFA FTE by grade, position title 
and duty station and a justification of why each position must 
be retained by OST or a successor organization rather than be 
combined with or performed by existing Indian Affairs FTE. As 
part of this report, the Department is also directed to provide 
a detailed accounting of the funds spent to implement the 
transition associated with the proposal in the fiscal year 2019 
budget justification.
    In addition to this analysis, the Government Accountability 
Office (GAO) is also directed to examine whether any duties, 
activities or functions performed by OST (including those 
proposed to be performed by the new bureau) are duplicative, 
overlap, or result in fragmentation with duties, activities, or 
functions performed by Indian Affairs. Further, GAO is expected 
to provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations that 
summarizes and examines tribal perspectives on any identified 
duplication, overlap, or fragmentation and also addresses how 
to best reduce any potential duplication, overlap, or 
fragmentation between OST (or a successor entity) and Indian 
Affairs. If any duplicative FTEs are identified by GAO, it is 
expected that the Department will make every effort to transfer 
current, duplicative staff to appropriate positions in Indian 
Affairs.

                          Departmental Offices


                        Office of the Secretary


                        DEPARTMENTAL OPERATIONS

              (INCLUDING TRANSFER AND RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $120,608,000 for the Office of the 
Secretary, Departmental Operations appropriation. Specific 
allocations at the activity level are contained in the table at 
the back of this explanatory statement. Within the Leadership 
and Administration activity, the bill contains $1,860,000 for 
Freedom of Information Act activities, which are explained more 
fully below. The bill also contains a rescission of $17,398,000 
in unobligated funds remaining from the transition of the 
Minerals Management Service.
    Appraisal and Valuation Services Office (AVSO).--The Great 
American Outdoors Act (Public Law 116-152) amended how funding 
from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is 
distributed. While this bill does not provide new discretionary 
funding in the Management Services activity for the Federal 
land operations of the AVSO, the bill does direct that 
$19,000,000 be made available from the LWCF for such 
operations. Of the funds provided, funding is included for 
preliminary appraisal and valuation work for potential land 
acquisitions and exchanges in high-priority conservation areas, 
such as the Bristol Bay ecosystem. Funding for Indian Country 
appraisal operations is made available through this bill and 
totals $11,204,000.
    Office of Native Hawaiian Relations.--The Department is 
directed to maintain the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations 
within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy,

    Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB).--The Committees 
support the work of the IACB to promote the economic 
development of Native Americans through the expansion of the 
Indian arts and crafts market and combatting illegal sales and 
trafficking of indigenous artisanry.
    Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).--Within the funds 
provided, the bill includes an increase of $860,000 over the 
current enacted level to continue support for staff positions 
to increase the processing capacity of the Department's FOIA 
program and reduce the Department's FOIA request backlog. These 
amounts are in addition to the amounts provided to the Office 
of the Solicitor to implement other changes to the FOIA 
program. The Committees continue to be concerned about the 
Department's chronic and significant backlog of FOIA requests 
and the potential for the backlog to impede the American 
public's right to obtain timely information about the 
Department's programs and activities. The Committees expect 
funds provided to exclusively support career staff positions 
within the Department's ``Departmental FOIA Office,'' 
established by Secretarial Order No. 3378 on January 7, 2020. 
Within three months of the date of enactment of this Act, and 
on a biannual basis thereafter, the Department is directed to 
provide a report on the number and status of positions funded 
by this initiative; the duties and functions for each staff 
position, including details about any role they play in the 
development of FOIA-related rules, guidance, or memoranda; and 
metrics showing the status of the Department's FOIA request 
backlog, including whether these additional resources are 
helping to reduce average response times for requestors or 
otherwise reduce the Department's FOIA request backlog.
    International Conservation Programs.--The Committees are 
disappointed that the Department failed to consult with the 
Committees and other Federal partners to develop a path forward 
to obligate funds that support on-the-ground conservation 
efforts to strengthen wildlife management and protect iconic 
species, pursuant to the explanatory statement accompanying 
Public Law 116-94. The Committees direct the Department to 
provide a briefing within 60 days of enactment of this Act to 
provide information on compliance with development of such 
standards.

(Public Law 99-239; 99 Stat. 1799; 48 USC 1911) and section 
108(b) of the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 
2003 (Public Law 108-88; 117 Stat. 2755; 48 USC 1921g).

table at the back of this explanatory statement. The Committees 
note that $1,860,000 has been provided for the FOIA Office. 
While this funding is to be used to address the department-wide 
backlog of pending requests, the Committees also expect the 
Office to assist in reducing the backlog within the Office of 
the Secretary. FOIA Office staff should brief the Committees 
quarterly on their efforts.

                      Office of Inspector General


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement provides $9,237,153,000 for the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA). The agreement does not support 
reductions, streamlinings, or eliminations proposed in the 
budget request unless explicitly noted in the explanatory 
statement. In addition to directives contained in the beginning 
of this explanatory statement, the agreement includes only the 
following additional directives related to programmatic 
guidance:
    Congressional Budget Justification.--The Committees direct 
the Agency to include in future justifications the information 
in the joint explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 116-
94, as well as: targets for onsite inspections and offsite 
compliance monitoring activities, requested enforcement travel 
budgets, and allocations for each component of funding for 
environmental justice programs. Further, if the Agency is 
proposing to change State allocation formulas for the 
distribution of appropriated funds, then the Agency should 
include such proposals in the Congressional Justification.
    Operating Plan.--Within 30 days of enactment of this Act, 
the Agency is directed to submit to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations its annual operating plan for 
fiscal year 2021. The operating plan shall adhere to the 
program area levels, and where applicable, the program project 
levels, specified within this explanatory statement. For 
program project levels not otherwise specified herein, the 
operating plan should detail how the Agency plans to allocate 
funds at the program project level. Further, the budgets of 
each major office should be itemized to indicate the source of 
funds for each major office by program project level. The 
operating plan should also include detailed allocations for 
each component of funding for environmental justice programs, 
including the Environmental Justice Small Grants program, the 
Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving Cooperative 
Agreement Program, and the Interagency Federal Working Group on 
Environmental Justice. Further, the Agency is directed to 
continue the longstanding practice of submitting quarterly 
statement of balances reports, and the Agency is directed to 
display data separately for both the current fiscal year and 
the prior fiscal year.
    Workforce and Staffing Plans.--The explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 116-94 included directions for the 
Agency to develop workforce and staffing plans related to the 
Agency's FTE levels in fiscal year 2020. For fiscal year 2021, 
the Committees expect the Agency to submit as part of its 
operating plan, staffing targets by National Program Management 
area, in line with the Agency's enacted appropriation. The 
Committees expect the Agency to continue to develop workforce 
and staffing plans. Further, not later than 45 days after the 
end of each quarter, the Agency shall submit data on the number 
of FTE employed by the Agency in the same format as the fiscal 
year 2020 FTE target data was submitted.
    Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and Contaminants 
of Emerging Concern.--The Committees provide no less than 
$49,011,000, a $10,011,000 increase above the fiscal year 2020

Committees on planned fiscal year 2021 PFAS-related actions and 
provide the Committees with a spend plan which details funding 
at the program project level.
    Combination of Separate Fiscal Year Grant Funding.--The 
Committees are concerned over instances in which the Agency has 
combined separate fiscal year grant appropriations and put out 
a multi-year Request for Application without consulting the 
Committees beforehand. The Agency is directed to brief the 
Committees before publishing a multi-year Request for 
Application of grant funding.
    Guidance.--The Committees note that the Agency has 
rescinded its guidance from March 26, 2020. The Agency is

rule for the electric pathway. The Committees note the backlog 
of applications under the Renewable Fuels Pathway II rule 
finalized in 2014. No applications for the electric pathway, 
which could help support rural agricultural communities, have 
been approved since the rule went into effect. The Agency shall 
take action on the existing applications within 90 days of the 
enactment of this Act. The Agency is further directed to brief 
the Committees within 60 days of enactment of this Act on 
planned Agency actions to process the existing applications.
    As the motor and fuel industries continually evolve, the 
agreement provides additional resources for OTAQ to support the 
Agency's ongoing fuels work. The Committees are aware that the 
Agency recently updated its Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator 
(MOVES) model in November 2020. Within 60 days of enactment of 
this Act, the Agency is directed to brief the Committees on any 
additional planned updates to fuel emissions life-cycle 
modeling and data, and as part of this briefing, the Agency 
should discuss underlying data used in the current model, and 
the cost of updating the model.
    The Committees are aware that the Agency has begun the 
Cleaner Trucks Initiative for heavy-duty trucks, which will 
help areas achieve and maintain attainment with air quality 
standards. The Committees urge the Agency to develop a final 
rule that minimizes ozone- and particulate matter-forming 
nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions from heavy-duty 
vehicles, and urge the Agency to work cooperatively with states 
and local air pollution control bodies to ensure the final rule 
supports these NOX control needs and efforts.
     Homeland Security.--The agreement provides $35,733,000 for 
Homeland Security. Of the funds provided, $250,000 shall be for

115-270).
    Water: Human Health Protection.--The agreement provides 
$4,364,000 for Water: Human Health Protection, as requested.
    Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).--Of the funds 
provided to the Office of Research and Development, no less 
than $20,000,000 shall be for priority actions under the PFAS 
Action Plan, an increase of $2,000,000. Of such funds, not less 
than $5,000,000 shall come from the Science and Technology 
appropriation, including $3,000,000 from Research: Safe and 
Sustainable Waters, and no less than $15,000,000 shall be 
derived from a transfer from the Hazardous Substance Superfund 
appropriation.
    Additional Guidance.--The following additional guidance is 
included:
    Enhanced Aquifer Use.--The agreement provides $2,000,000 
from Research: Safe and Sustainable Waters for research for 
Enhanced Aquifer Use and Recharge, and the Agency is directed 
to continue following the guidance contained in the explanatory 
statement accompanying Public Law 116-94.

and the Agency is directed to follow the guidance in House 
Report 116-448 and Senate Report 116-123.
    Health Outcomes and Links to Pollution.--In lieu of 
direction under the heading ``Coronavirus Health Outcomes and 
Links to Pollution'' in House Report 116-448, the Committees 
encourage the Agency to investigate any linkages between 
exposure to pollution and increased risk for adverse health 
outcomes from communicable respiratory diseases.
    Innovative Waste Management Systems.--In lieu of the 
direction in House Report 116-448 under the heading 
``Estimating Air Emissions from Animal Operations,'' the 
Committees direct the Agency to study new and innovative lagoon 
and sprayfield waste management systems, including biodigesters 
and methane recapture systems on animal waste lagoons, and 
whether these or other methods and technologies can help 
mitigate health or environmental impacts on communities living 
near swine and dairy farms. The Agency shall submit this study 
to the Committees not later than 180 days after enactment of 
this Act.
    Inorganic Arsenic.--The Committees understand that a 
revised risk assessment of inorganic arsenic is currently under 
development by the Agency. The Committees note the importance 
of a robust evaluation of all relevant scientific data, 
including mode of action data. The Committees direct the Agency 
to brief the Committees if and when the revised risk assessment 
is completed.
    IRIS program.--In lieu of the directive in House Report 
116-448 under the heading ``Maintaining IRIS Program 
Integrity,'' the Committees direct the Agency to continue to 
utilize the IRIS program to support the Agency's mission to 
protect human health and the environment.

days of enactment of this Act, on the progress made to engage 
with other Federal agencies, states, private landowners, and 
stakeholders on efforts to create markets for low-grade and 
low-value wood.
    STAR Grants.--The agreement provides $28,600,000 to 
continue the STAR program, and the Committees direct the Agency 
to distribute grants consistent with fiscal year 2020. Further, 
the Committees direct that funding for Children's Environmental 
Health and Disease Prevention is continued at not less than 
$1,900,000, consistent with prior years. The Committees support 
the efforts of the Agency to focus this funding on research 
related to early life stage, including prenatal, 
vulnerabilities to environmental stressors. The Agency is 
directed to brief the Committees on the program within 60 days 
of enactment of this Act. Finally, the Agency is directed to 
brief the Committees on the feasibility of reestablishing its 
Graduate Fellowship program and of implementing a mechanism to 
allow for the submission of unsolicited, principal 
investigator-initiated proposals to STAR in order to capture 
innovative research ideas that may exist outside of the Agency 
and that advance its mission.
    Strengthening Use of Science.--The Committees note the 
study regarding Strengthening Use of Science in House Report 
116-100 has not been received and the Committees expect the 
Agency to provide information regarding the status of this 
directive within 60 days of enactment of this Act.

King Mine Spill into the Animas River that impacted Colorado, 
New Mexico, Arizona, and the Navajo Nation. The bill includes 
$4,000,000 for fiscal year 2021, for a total of $20,000,000 
over five years in accordance with funding authorized in the 
Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (Public 
Law 114-322). The Committees direct the Agency to continue to 
work in consultation with affected States and Tribes on this 
effort. The Agency is also directed to follow the guidance in 
Senate Report 116-123.
    Assistance to Small and Disadvantaged Communities.--The 
agreement provides $26,408,000. The Agency is directed to 
follow the guidance in Senate Report 116-123.
    Combined Sewer Overflow Grants.--The agreement provides 
$40,000,000 for Combined Sewer Overflow Grants. The Committees 
are aware that the Agency published a proposed state allocation 
formula in the Federal Register on August 4, 2020. The 
Committees urge the Agency to expeditiously finalize its 
allocation scheme so that states may begin awarding grants to 
projects that manage, reduce, or capture stormwater, or that 
otherwise improve municipal wastewater systems, thereby 
reducing flood risk, protecting public health, and enhancing 
the economic vitality of the community.
    Categorical Grants.--The bill provides $1,099,400,000 for 
Categorical Grants. Funding levels are specified in the table 
at the end of this division. Within this amount, the Beaches 
Protection program and Radon program are funded at $9,619,000 
and $7,795,000, respectively.
    Categorical Grant: Hazardous Waste Financial Assistance.--
The agreement provides $101,500,000 for Hazardous Waste 
Financial Assistance Grants. The bill includes a provision to 
spend categorical grant funds for the purpose of providing 
grants to assist States in the development and implementation 
of state programs for the control of coal combustion residuals 
under section 2301 of the Water and Waste Act of 2016 (Public 
Law 114-322), and the Agency is directed to allocate $3,000,000 
from the Hazardous Waste Financial Assistance categorical 
grants program project for this purpose. The Committees note 
that funds awarded under the authority provided by this Act are 
not subject to section 3011 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act 
(Public Law 89-272).
    Categorical Grant: Nonpoint Source (Sec. 319).--The 
agreement provides $177,000,000 for Nonpoint Source (Sec. 319) 
Grants. The Committees expect the Agency to examine the 
allocation formula to ensure that resources are spent in areas 
with the most pressing need.
    Categorical Grant: Public Water System Supervision.--The 
agreement provides $112,000,000 in Public Water System 
Supervision Grants, and of the funds provided, $10,000,000 is 
to further support States, Territories, and Tribes in 
addressing PFAS and other contaminants of emerging concern as 
they carry out their Public Water System Supervision programs.
    Categorical Grant State and Local Air Quality Management.--
The agreement provides $229,500,000 for State and Local Air 
Quality Management Grants. The Agency is directed to allocate 
funds for this program using the same formula as fiscal year 
2015. The Committees understand the Office of Air and Radiation 
was able to provide some additional funds to the States in 
fiscal year 2016 using balances. The Committees encourage the 
Agency to do the same in fiscal year 2021 and to provide those 
additional funds to the regions with the highest need. Should 
the Agency seek to change the formula, it should submit a 
proposal in its fiscal year 2022 budget justification for 
consideration by the Committees.
    Categorical Grant: Multipurpose Grants.--The agreement 
provides $10,000,000 for Multipurpose Grants to States and 
Tribes. States and Tribes often undertake primary cleanup and 
remediation efforts on emerging contaminants like PFAS while 
the Agency goes through the regulatory process on setting 
standards for such contaminants. Given the current activities 
of States and Tribes to address the emerging contaminants of 
PFAS and others, this funding is expected to aid such 
regulatory, cleanup and remediation efforts of contaminated 
water sources, water systems, and lands, and of impacted air 
quality. The Committees note that such funds should not be 
limited to only those activities subject to the Categorical 
Grants, but should also include any State-led effort that will 
lead to cleanup and remediation of areas affected by PFAS and 
other emerging contaminants. The Agency is directed to brief 
the Committees within 75 days of enactment of this Act on how 
it plans to provide Multipurpose Grants for fiscal year 2021.
    Additional Guidance.--The following additional guidance is 
included:
    Administration of Grants.--For grant programs within this 
appropriation, the Administrator shall submit a report 
detailing the amounts and sources of funds used to administer 
and provide oversight of these grant programs. The report 
should be submitted along with the Agency's annual operating 
plan.
    Rubber Gaskets.--The Agency is directed to follow the 
guidance in Senate Report 116-123.
    Use of Iron and Steel.--The bill includes language in title 
IV general provisions that stipulates requirements for the use 
of iron and steel in State Revolving Fund projects, and the 
agreement includes only the following guidance: the Committees 
acknowledge that the Agency may issue a waiver of said 
requirements for de minimis amounts of iron and steel building 
materials. The Committees emphasize that any coating processes 
that are applied to the external surface of iron and steel 
components that otherwise qualify under the procurement 
preference shall not render such products ineligible for the 
procurement preference regardless of where the coating 
processes occur, provided that final assembly of the products 
occurs in the United States.

      WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION PROGRAM ACCOUNT

    The agreement provides a total of $65,000,000 for the Water 
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program. Of 
the amount provided, $5,000,000 shall be for implementation of 
the SRF WIN Act, as authorized by section 4201 of Public Law 
115-270.

       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

             (INCLUDING TRANSFERS AND RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    The bill continues several administrative provisions from 
previous years.
    The bill directs the availability of not less than 
$1,500,000 of funds for the National Estuary Program for 
competitive grants.
    The bill authorizes the Office of Chemical Safety and 
Pollution Prevention and the Office of Water in fiscal year 
2021 to use up to $2,000,000 to hire students and recent 
graduates as contractors on a temporary or intermittent basis.
    Rescission.--The bill includes a rescission of $27,991,000 
of unobligated balances from the State and Tribal Assistance 
Grants account. The Committees are aware that the Agency has 
$27,991,000 of balances from prior year special project 
infrastructure grants that grantees could not use or repurpose 
and therefore returned to the Agency. The bill rescinds these 
unobligated balances.

                      TITLE III--RELATED AGENCIES


                       Department of Agriculture


  Office of the Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment

    The bill provides $875,000 for the Office of the Under 
Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment.

                             FOREST SERVICE

    The Forest Service is directed and expected to use all 
authorities available to decrease the risk of fires around 
communities, harvest salvage timber, and secure safe access to 
national forest system lands for the public. The Service is 
also directed to prioritize the use of funding provided under 
the Western Bark Beetle Initiative for projects located on non-
Federal land in cases where the State government partners 
identify a need related to community wildfire protection. 
Additionally, the Committees direct the Service to utilize the 
authorities provided by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2019 (Public Law 116-6) and the Agriculture Improvement Act, 
2018 (Public Law 115-334) to perform critically needed 
restoration treatments on National Forest System lands.
    The agreement maintains funding for the activities 
delineated in House Report 116-448, unless otherwise specified 
herein, which the Service will fund with the appropriate 
combination of salaries and expenses and programmatic funds 
within each appropriations account. The Committees continue the 
direction contained in Senate Report 116-123 regarding Spruce 
and Bark Beetles, grazing allotments affected by wildfire, 
timber target goals, Recommended Wilderness, and Tariffs on 
Timber Exports. Additional directives pertaining to the Service 
can be found in the Front Matter of this explanatory statement.
    Forest Service Modernization Efforts.--The Committees 
appreciate the efforts of individuals across the Service to 
implement the transition to the modernized budget structure for 
fiscal year 2021. The Committees recognize that the culture of 
the Service relies heavily on historical practices, which can 
be an impediment to change for the better. The Committees 
understand the new budget structure will require the Service to 
think differently about mission execution and are hopeful that 
the modernized structure will result in improved transparency, 
better human resources planning, and ultimately better 
management of the agency.
    Of the funds provided for Federal Lands Forest Health 
Management, $3,000,000 is for Service-wide strategic workforce 
planning efforts. Concurrently, the Committees direct the 
Service to evaluate the impact of the number of Service 
employees serving as details or in acting positions, as it 
relates to availability of expertise, along with the practice 
of detailing employees and incentivizing frequent moves to 
accelerate advancement. The Service is directed to provide the 
Committees with a briefing on these efforts within 60 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    To continue to build upon the momentum of Budget 
Modernization, the Executive Leadership Team is directed to 
meet quarterly with the Committees to discuss ongoing Forest 
Service modernization efforts. The Service is directed to 
report to the Committees on an evaluation of the Service's 
leadership structure, Executive Leadership Team composition, 
and any changes that should be made to realign leadership 
positions with the new budget structure no later than June 1, 
2021. In particular, the Committees are interested in data and 
recommendations relating to any changes that could be made to 
improve the representation of Wildland Fire Management 
leadership under this structure and the potential creation of a 
new Deputy Chief for Fire and Aviation. The Committees 
recognize that wildland fire-related activities touch every 
aspect of the agency and believe that providing the fire 
function with a senior leadership role at the Service will 
improve coordination and better represents the role fire plays 
in agency budgeting and decision making.
    Technology Modernization.--In lieu of House direction 
regarding technology modernization, the Committees support 
technologies such as the Risk Management Assistance framework, 
machine-learning generated collaborative technology-based 
strategic wildfire risk planning tools and the 
productionization of these data-driven decision support tools, 
and the implementation of the Wildfire Technology Modernization 
section of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, 
and Recreation Act. The Service is directed to make significant 
financial investments in these technologies and report to the 
Committees within 90 days of enactment of this Act on ongoing 
and planned investments in such technologies. Additionally, the 
Committees expect the Forest Service to increase technological 
investments in future budgets.

                       FOREST SERVICE OPERATIONS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $1,026,163,000 for Forest Service 
Operations. This new appropriation constitutes those activities 
previously supported through the cost pool structure, as well 
as other general activities of the Service. The detailed 
allocation of funding by activity is included in the table at 
the end of this explanatory statement.

                     FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH

    The bill provides $258,760,000 for Forest and Rangeland 
Research, which includes $40,720,000 for base research 
activities. The Committees expect that funds collected from 
reimbursable agreements by the research program will be 
reinvested at the station level into programs of work, rather 
than used to offset salaries and expenses. The bill provides 
sufficient funding for existing facilities and research 
stations and the Service is directed to refrain from 
considering further consolidations or closures.
    Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA).--FIA is funded at 
$17,621,000, which when combined with salaries and expenses, is 
funded at not less than the enacted level of $77,000,000. The 
Committees understand that the FIA program is currently working 
with partners to develop nationally compatible biomass models 
to meet information needs. The Service is directed to support 
new and existing academic partnerships to further explore the 
use of available technologies like remote sensing and 
methodologies, such as small area estimation, to further refine 
county- and State-level biomass estimates as outlined in Sec. 
8632 of Public Law 115-334.
    Forest Products Laboratory (FPL).--The Committees provide 
not less than enacted levels for FPL to continue research and 
to sustain work with existing academic partners. Additionally, 
$1,500,000 is continued to develop a wood bridge demonstration 
program in conjunction with non-Federal partners to support 
rural infrastructure needs through research, development, and 
demonstration to stimulate new market development, as well as 
education and technical assistance to governmental agencies, 
industry, and research institutions, along with not less than 
$2,000,000 for research on Forest-based cellulose 
nanomaterials, including material forms, manufacturing 
processes, and technology transfer.
    The Committees recognize the importance of academic 
partners and their work on bottomland hardwoods research; 
developing new and expanded markets and to advance high-value, 
high-volume wood markets; and quantifying forest ecosystem 
services, and encourages the Service to sustain these 
partnerships.
    Funding Directives.--The Service is directed to provide 
$3,000,000 to the Joint Fire Science Program in fiscal year 
2021 for programmatic expenses and is expected to adequately 
fund Fire Plan Research and Development. The agreement 
continues the directive contained in Senate Report 116-123 
regarding Downed Timber Research and provides $2,000,000 for 
those efforts. The bill provides not less than $3,000,000 to 
support the Northeastern States Research Cooperative, a 
collaboration among universities in New York, New Hampshire, 
Maine, and Vermont, sponsoring research to sustain the health 
of northern forest ecosystems and communities, to develop new 
forest products and improve forest biodiversity management. The 
Committees are aware that since 2001, the Service, in 
partnership with the Bureau of Land Management, has been 
treating Sudden Oak Death infestations on public lands in 
Oregon and expect the funding provided to be adequate to 
continue these efforts.
    The Committees appreciate the Service's engagement on 
modernizing the research program and remains committed to 
partnering with the Service to restructure its research program 
for fiscal year 2022 to enhance coordination on forest related 
research and development for improved relevance, global 
competitiveness, and effective coordination.

                       STATE AND PRIVATE FORESTRY

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    The bill provides $267,180,000 for State and Private 
Forestry, along with a rescission of $5,809,000. The detailed 
allocation of funding by activity is included in the table at 
the end of this explanatory statement. The Service is directed 
to continue working with other Federal agencies, States, 
private landowners, and stakeholders to create markets for low-
grade and low-value wood.
    Landscape Scale Restoration.--The Service is directed to 
use funds for competitive grants and should be focused on State 
and national priority projects that have significant, 
measurable impact on these priorities.
    Funding Directives.--Within the funds provided, $1,000,000 
shall be made available to support existing academic 
partnerships in the Northern Forest Region for the Forest 
Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative for Maine, New Hampshire, New 
York, and Vermont. The Committees further recognize the 
importance of the Wood Education and Resource Center supporting 
the forest products industry in the Eastern Hardwood Region 
through its Wood Energy Technical Assistance Program and 
provide $2,000,000 for the Center's activities.
    International Programs and Trade Compliance.--The bill 
includes $15,395,000 for International Programs and Trade 
Compliance. The Committees expect that funds collected from 
reimbursable agreements that were previously used to offset 
salaries and expenses and are no longer necessary for that 
purpose will be reinvested into programs of work.

                         NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM

    The bill provides $1,786,870,000 for the National Forest 
System. The detailed allocation of funding by activity is 
included in the table at the end of this explanatory statement.
    Hazardous Fuels.--The bill provides $180,388,000 for 
hazardous fuels management activities, of which up to 
$5,000,000 may be used for implementation of Section 8644 of

for the Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes to continue 
enhancing the Service's capacity to execute science-based 
forest restoration treatments to reduce the risk of wildfires 
and improve the health of dry forest ecosystems.
    Prescribed Fire.--The Committees note that returning fire 
to the landscape can be a successful tool for reducing wildfire 
risk when applied in appropriate locations and situations. 
Therefore, the Service is encouraged to improve its use of 
prescribed fire practices and establish training programs, and 
is further directed to include the number of acres treated 
using prescribed fire at the end of each fiscal year, as well 
as the costs associated with such activities.
    Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness.--Within the funds 
provided, $2,000,000 is made available to support 
infrastructure and trails development and to build the capacity 
of local user groups and partnership organizations for all 
National Recreation Areas administered by the Service 
established after 1997. The Service is directed to issue 
general guidance on rock climbing management for National 
Forest System lands, including the application of the 
Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577) for rock climbing and 
appropriate use of equipment in wilderness areas, within 180 
days of enactment of this Act.
    The bill provides not less than $1,000,000 for 
implementation of the NATIVE Act (Public Law 114-221) in 
conjunction with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Service is 
also directed to prioritize implementation of the Tribal Forest

Consistent with instructions in the explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 116-94 that construction of a Green 
Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forest Supervisor's Office 
begin in fiscal year 2020, construction shall continue as 
needed for a timely completion of the project; the Service 
shall report to the Committees on its progress within 90 days 
of enactment of this Act. Additionally, the Service has 
statutory responsibilities to collect, curate, and display 
historical items from the agency's history and should explore 
partnering with nonfederal stakeholders to ensure public access 
to these collections in repository and exhibition spaces.
    Roads.--The bill includes $68,895,000 for Roads to be used 
to increase public safety.
    Trails.--The bill includes $17,439,000 for Trails.

                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE

                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES

    The bill provides a total of $6,236,279,000 for the Indian 
Health Service (IHS), of which $4,301,391,000 is for the 
Services account as detailed below. This reflects the transfer 
of 105(l) Tribal lease payments to the new indefinite 
appropriations account and the redistribution of current 
services funds provided in fiscal year 2018 but reprogrammed by 
IHS for 105(l) lease costs for a total of $21,225,000. No new 
current services funds are provided. The agreement includes 
full funding for existing agreements between the Service and 
the Seneca Nation and the Service is further expected to 
include sufficient resources in future budget requests to meet 
these requirements. All programs, projects, and activities are 
maintained at fiscal year 2020 enacted levels unless otherwise 
specified below. IHS is expected to comply with the 
instructions and requirements at the beginning of this division 
and in House Report 116-448, unless otherwise specified below. 
Language contained in Senate Report 116-123 regarding the 
Alaska Comprehensive Forensic Training Academy, first aid kit 
enhancements, prescription drug monitoring, and teledermatology 
is restated. Additional details, instructions, and requirements 
follow below and in the table at the end of this division.
    The Committees remain deeply concerned about reports of 
sexual abuse at IHS operated facilities. The Service is 
directed to keep the Committees apprised of ongoing 
investigations into this matter and any legislative 
recommendations for Congress in order to prevent such abuse 
from happening again.
    Staffing for New Facilities.--The agreement includes 
$16,350,000 for staffing newly opened health facilities, which 
is the full amount required in fiscal year 2021 based upon 
updated estimates provided to the Committees. The agreement 
also reflects the updated reallocation of previously 
appropriated funds for the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians. 
Funds for the staffing of new facilities are limited to 
facilities funded through the Health Care Facilities 
Construction Priority System or the Joint Venture Construction 
Program that have opened in fiscal year 2020 or will open in 
fiscal year 2021. None of these funds may be allocated to a 
facility until such facility has achieved beneficial occupancy 
status. As initial estimates included as part of the annual 
budget request are refined, IHS is expected to communicate 
updated cost estimates to the Committees.
    Hospitals and Health Clinics.--The agreement provides 
$2,238,087,000 for hospitals and health clinics, which reflects 
the transfer of section 105(l) lease costs to the new 
indefinite appropriation account, Payments for Tribal Leases. 
The recommendation includes program increases of $1,000,000 for 
domestic violence prevention, $5,000,000 for Tribal 
Epidemiology Centers, $5,000,000 for the Hepatitis C and HIV 
initiative, $5,000,000 for Alzheimer's, $5,000,000 to improve 
maternal health, and $2,000,000 for the existing Tribal dental 
health therapist training program that trains students in

funding at the fiscal year 2020 enacted levels for the 
Community Health Aide Program, accreditation emergencies as 
discussed in the House report, village built clinics, health 
information technology, healthy lifestyles in youth project, 
and the National Indian Health Board cooperative agreement.
    Electronic Health Records.--The agreement provides 
$34,500,000 for Electronic Health Records (EHR) and notes that 
an additional $65,000,000 was provided through supplemental 
fiscal year 2020 appropriations. The Committees recognize the 
need for a new electronic health record system to improve the 
overall interoperability, efficiency, and security of the 
Service's information technology system. The Committees also 
note that the Service has not completed directives on this 
topic included in previous fiscal years and solicited in 
hearings. The Committees direct the Service to report back 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act with a list of Tribes 
that currently maintain their own non-RPMS electronic health 
record systems along with cost estimates required for those 
Tribes to implement, maintain, and make any necessary upgrades 
to these systems. Further directions and limitations on 
expenditures are provided in the bill.
    The Committees understand that many Tribes recently 
upgraded their systems to be compatible with the new Veterans 
Affairs' system, and that these systems must be compatible with 
any new IHS system to the maximum extent practicable. It is the 
Committees' expectation that the Service will be able to use 
the compiled information gathered during this recent effort 
with Veterans Affairs to inform both the Service and the 
Committees on which Tribes use their own system and the 
estimated costs.
    Dental Health.--The agreement provides $214,687,000 for 
dental health, which includes a $500,000 general increase, an 
additional $500,000 for the electronic dental health records 
(EDR) system to finish bringing dental centers onto the system 
and to manage the current electronic dental record system, and 
an additional $1,000,000 to increase the number of Dental 
Support Centers. IHS is directed to include EDR in its 
assessment and incorporate EDR in overall efforts to enhance 
its EHR system.
    Mental Health.--The bill provides $115,107,000 for mental 
health, which includes a $5,000,000 general increase and 
continues funding at fiscal year 2020 levels for the behavioral 
health integration initiative, for suicide prevention, and for 
the Telebehavioral Health Center of Excellence.
    Alcohol and Substance Abuse.--The bill provides 
$251,360,000 for alcohol and substance abuse. The agreement 
continues fiscal year 2020 funding levels to address opioid 
abuse with instructions for IHS to comply with the instructions 
in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 116-94, 
Generation Indigenous and the Youth Pilot project. The 
recommendation includes a program increase of $500,000 for 
essential detoxification services, for a total of $2,500,000, 
which shall be distributed as directed in Senate Report 116-
123, and a $5,000,000 general program increase. Language 
contained in Senate Report 116-123 regarding tribal 
consultation for the substance abuse, suicide prevention, and 
domestic violence funding is restated.
    Purchased/Referred Care.--The agreement includes 
$975,856,000 for the Purchased/Referred Care program, which 
includes a $5,000,000 general program increase and $5,841,000 
for New Tribes.

in danger. Within 60 days of bringing such a facility online, 
and monthly thereafter, the Secretary shall provide to the

housing, unaccompanied alien children (as defined in section 
462(g)(2) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C.

to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate, and make publicly available 
online, a report with respect to children who were separated 
from their parents or legal guardians by the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) (regardless of whether or not such

contain the following information:
          (1) the number and ages of children so separated 
        subsequent to apprehension at or between ports of 
        entry, to be reported by sector where separation

encourages CDC to continue working with States on naloxone 
education when distributing opioid overdose prevention funds.
    Public Safety Officer Suicide Reporting System.--The 
agreement includes an increase to the National Violent Death 
Reporting System for CDC to develop and maintain a Public 
Safety Officer Suicide Reporting System to collect data on the 
suicide incidence among public safety officers and facilitate 
the study of successful interventions to reduce suicide among 
public safety officers as described in the Helping Emergency 
Responders Overcome Act of 2020.
    Suicide Prevention.--The agreement includes an increase to 
continue to utilize data and evaluations to inform ongoing 
programmatic efforts to prevent suicide, specifically in 
vulnerable populations and subgroups among which suicides are 
increasing. These data will be used to inform community-based 
suicide prevention efforts. CDC is encouraged to expand their 
emergency department syndromic surveillance project on suicidal 
behavior to provide near real-time data and to continue to 
explore data, methods, and research that advance our 
understanding of suicide and suicidal behavior. The agreement 
recognizes CDC's work to establish a comprehensive suicide 
prevention program and directs CDC to continue the 
implementation and evaluation of these targeted, comprehensive, 
community-based suicide prevention strategies to reduce risk 
for suicide, and to evaluate their impact, especially among 
high-risk populations. The agreement also directs CDC to 
enhance the completeness of data to capture mechanisms of death 
and support research and evaluation projects to understand the 
pathways and mechanisms that contribute to suicidal ideations 
and attempts.
    Tribal Use of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs 
(PDMP).--CDC is directed to work with the Indian Health Service 
to ensure Federally-operated and tribally-operated healthcare 
facilities benefit from the CDC's PDMP efforts.
    Youth Violence Prevention.--The agreement encourages 
continuation of existing partnerships between community 
organizations, schools, law enforcement, faith-based 
organizations, and academia, as well as technical assistance 
and research, that have been supported by this program and have 
demonstrated success in reducing youth violence in high-poverty 
areas and, in particular, large urban communities that are 
seeking to address root causes of community violence, 
collective trauma, and civil unrest.

Director, in consultation with the TAC, to develop written 
guidelines for each CDC center, institute, and office on best 
practices around delivery of Tribal technical assistance and 
consideration of unique Tribal public health needs. The goal of 
such guidelines should be the integration of Tribal communities 
and population needs into CDC programs. The Director shall 
report on the status of development of these written guidelines 
in the fiscal year 2022 Congressional Justification.

                  National Institutes of Health (NIH)

    The agreement provides $42,934,000,000 for NIH, including 
$404,000,000 from the 21st Century Cures Act (Public Law 114-
255), an increase of $1,250,000,000, or 3 percent, above fiscal 
year 2020. The agreement provides a funding increase of no less 
than 1.5 percent above fiscal year 2020 to every Institute and 
Center (IC).
    The agreement appropriates funds authorized in the 21st 
Century Cures Act. Per the authorization, $195,000,000 is 
transferred to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for cancer 
research; $50,000,000 to the National Institute of Neurological 
Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and $50,000,000 to the National 
Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) for the BRAIN Initiative; and 
$109,000,000 will be allocated from the NIH Innovation Fund for 
the All of Us precision medicine initiative.
    The Common Fund is supported as a set-aside within the 
Office of the Director at $635,939,000. In addition, 
$12,600,000 is provided to support pediatric research as 
authorized by the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 
(Public Law 113-94).

Epidemiology, and End Results [SEER] Registry; 
Temporomandibular Disorders; diabetes, Rapid Acceleration of 
Diagnostics; 7q11.23 Duplication Syndrome; and Hereditary 
Spastic Paraparesis 49 (TECPR2).

                    NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (NCI)

    Cancer Immunotherapy.--The agreement commends NCI for its 
longstanding support of research on cancer immunotherapy. As 
the number of single-agent and combination therapies grows for 
an expanding list of cancers, more work is needed to learn how 
to accurately predict whether a given cancer immunotherapy is 
likely to improve outcomes or cause undesirable side effects in 
individual patients. While many research programs have been 
focused on defining biomarkers that could accomplish this goal, 
validation and eventual standardization of specific biomarkers 
would greatly enhance the field's understanding of how to 
design more effective, less toxic treatments. The agreement, 
therefore, urges NCI to prioritize support for studies on the 
clinical validation of potential biomarkers that predict 
clinical outcomes in patients receiving tumor immunotherapy.
    Cancer Moonshot.--The agreement directs NIH to transfer 
$195,000,000 from the NIH Innovation Account to NCI to support 
the Cancer Moonshot Initiative.
    NCI Paylines.--To support more awards and improve success 
rates, the agreement provides $250,000,000, an increase of 
$37,500,000, to prioritize competing grants and sustain 
commitments to continuing grants.
    Pediatric Cancer.--The agreement continues $30,000,000 for 
the implementation of the STAR Act (Public Law 115-180) 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 all children, adolescents, and young adults with 
cancer. As part of this funding, the agreement expects NCI to 
carry out childhood cancer survivorship research and programs 
as authorized, such as developing best practices for the 
treatment of late effects of childhood cancers. In addition, 
the agreement recognizes NCI's efforts to develop a new 
Childhood Cancer Data Initiative and continues to support and 
expand new and innovative research efforts to advance progress 
for children with cancer. The agreement also commends NIH for 
its efforts to coordinate pediatric research across its ICs 
through the recently established Trans-NIH Pediatric Research 
Consortium. The agreement understands NCI participates in the 
Consortium, and that childhood cancer research is an important 
part of the pediatric research portfolio across NIH. The 
agreement requests an update in the fiscal year 2022 
Congressional Justification on opportunities to enhance 
childhood cancer research efforts, including coordination 
efforts already underway through the Trans-NIH Pediatric 
Research Consortium.

           NATIONAL HEART, LUNG, AND BLOOD INSTITUTE (NHLBI)

    Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia.--Well-
characterized, longitudinal, population-based cohort studies 
provide value in bringing to light more information about the 
risk factors related to dementia. By studying participants over 
time, much can be learned about cognitive decline and early 
biomarkers; however, mature cohorts naturally dwindle as 
participants pass away, requiring that the research mission be 
adjusted to continue to leverage the previous science and build 
upon it. Therefore, the agreement urges NHLBI and NIA to fund 
research into next generation cohorts, with a focus on 
understanding the development and progression of risk factors 
and detection of early signs of cognitive decline. Preference 
should be given to applicants that have diversity among cohort 
participants, broad geographic representation, and a 
demonstrated record of high research productivity.
    Exploring Airway Screening Efforts of Childhood Asthma in 
the Rural Community.--There continues to be concern about 
childhood asthma, which affects over 9,000,000 school-aged 
children and leads to many preventable emergency department 
visits, hospitalizations, and missed school days. NHLBI is 
strongly urged to develop a multidisciplinary project to 
examine inflammation in children with uncontrolled asthma. This 
research should build upon previous findings to explore asthma 
control and inflammation in children with persistent asthma in 
rural communities. Ultimately, this research could improve 
access to care and reduce the costs associated with 
uncontrolled asthmas by identifying early inflammatory signs.
    Hypertension.--There continues to be concern about the 
significant incidence of hypertension in non-Hispanic black 
males and females compared to their non-Hispanic white male and 
female counterparts. These racial differences emerge as early 
as the third decade of life. For these reasons, the agreement 
supports efforts to identify the underlying causes of this 
racial disparity in hypertension, and to develop and evaluate 
interventions to reduce this disparity. The agreement strongly 
encourages a focus on interventions to reduce systematic and 
blood vessel-specific inflammation in individuals with elevated 
blood pressure, but are not yet hypertensive, that would be 
scalable to the community level.
    Lymphedema (LE).--LE is a chronic, debilitating, and 
incurable swelling that can be a result of damage to the 
lymphatic system due to surgery, cancer treatment, or injury, 
and that can also be inherited. An estimated 10,000,000 
Americans suffer from LE. Additional research is necessary to 
improve our understanding of this condition and expand the 
treatment options available. NHLBI is strongly encouraged to 
expand support for research on LE and requests a report within 
120 days of enactment of this Act describing NHLBI's current 
and planned research related to LE.

    NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS AND STROKE (NINDS)

    Cerebral Palsy (CP).--The agreement commends NINDS for 
implementing Funding Opportunity Announcements for clinical 
research supporting observational studies that are well-suited 
for the study of CP. The agreement strongly encourages NIH to 
prioritize and implement additional opportunities to 
significantly strengthen, accelerate, and coordinate CP 
research to address priorities across the lifespan identified 
in the 5 to 10-year CP Strategic Plan. Research 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.
    Frontotemporal Degeneration Research (FTD).--The 
recommendation encourages NIH to maintain and expand a multi-
site infrastructure and network of clinical sites to extend the 
study of genetic and sporadic FTD cohorts. A key component of 
this effort will be to leverage recent advances in information 
technology to create an infrastructure for FTD research that 
will collect and record data and samples in a uniform manner, 
incorporate patient-reported data, and take advantage of new 
technologies that enable remote monitoring. Development of a 
data biosphere that supports broad sharing of datasets will 
enable the broader community of researchers to bring their 
expertise to bear on the challenges currently confronting 
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias disorders.
    Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency (MSD).--MSD is an ultra-rare 
genetic disorder in which all of the known sulfatase enzymes 
are unable to be fully activated causing neurologic impairment 
and other symptoms including bone abnormalities, deafness, and 
hepatosplenomegaly. There are currently no targeted therapies 
for MSD, and treatment is limited based on specific symptoms. 
However, multiple lines of therapeutic development including 
gene therapy, small molecule (drugs), and bone marrow 
transplant are being pursued by preclinical researchers. The 
agreement directs NINDS, in concert with the Office of Rare 
Diseases Research, to provide an update on research progress 
towards a treatment in the fiscal year 2022 Congressional 
Justification on MSD and related rare disorders.
    HEAL Initiative.--The agreement includes no less than 
$270,295,000 for the HEAL Initiative targeted at opioid misuse 
and addiction and has included bill language expanding the 
allowable uses of these funds to include research related to 
stimulant misuse and addiction. The agreement strongly urges 
NIH to consider funding applications on fundamental, 
translational, and clinical research on headache disorders that 
align with the goal of achieving solutions to the opioid 
crisis.

     NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES (NIAID)

    Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).--While antibiotics are 
necessary to treat secondary infections, their expanded usage 
is causing concern that a lasting consequence could be 
increased global antibiotic resistance rates. The agreement 
supports NIAID's efforts to encourage innovative approaches to 
antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and directs NIH and CDC to 
jointly brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
no later than 30 days after the enactment of this Act, 
detailing their AMR and the focus of their initiatives for 
fiscal years 2021-2022.
    Centers for AIDS Research.--The agreement includes 
$61,000,000, an increase of $10,000,000, for this activity as 
part of the Ending HIV Epidemic initiative.
    Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Diseases.--The incidence 
of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases has increased 
significantly since CDC reporting began in 1991. The agreement 
understands the importance of research into Lyme disease and 
related tick-borne illnesses and provides an increase of 
$10,000,000. Further, the agreement supports the implementation 
of the NIH Strategic Plan for Tick-borne Disease Research, and 
urges NIH to leverage this understanding to develop new tools 
that can more effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat Lyme 
disease, including its long-term effects and other tick-borne 
diseases. The agreement further urges NIH to evaluate the 
effectiveness of laboratory tests associated with the detection 
of Borrelia burgdorferi to diagnose the disease early, which 
can improve the effectiveness of treatment. The agreement 
encourages the promotion and development of potential vaccine 
candidates for Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases. The 
agreement urges NIH to conduct research to better understand 
modes of transmission for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. 
The agreement further urges NIH to incentivize new 
investigators to enter the field of Lyme disease and other 
tick-borne disease research. The agreement recommends that NIH 
coordinate with CDC on publishing reports that assess 
diagnostic advancements, methods for prevention, the state of 
treatment, and links between tick-borne disease and 
neuropsychiatric illnesses. Finally, the agreement encourages 
NIAID to issue requests for grant applications for research to 
investigate causes and manifestations of Lyme disease and other 
tick-borne diseases, including post-treatment symptoms, as well 
as research to develop diagnostics, prevention methods, and 
treatment for those conditions, including potential vaccine 
candidates.
    Multidisciplinary Grants for Vector-Borne Disease 
Research.--NIH's new strategy to address tick-borne diseases 
aims to examine the complex interplay among host, tick, and 
pathogen factors that contribute to these diseases and the 
body's defenses against them. It is precisely this complexity, 
combined with the growing incidence and threat to human health 
and life, that make new multi-disciplinary research approaches 
necessary. The agreement encourages investment in multi-year 
center core grants that support shared resources and facilities 
for multidisciplinary research. This approach allows research 
groups to develop understandings of how pathogens persist, 
evolve, and cause outbreaks, and models the risk of exposure as 
climate and socioeconomic conditions change, which leads to 
future innovations in diagnostic tools and preventive 
medicines. Surveillance efforts should be part of these grants, 
and priority shall be given to grants focused on vector borne 
diseases requiring arthropod biosafety levels 2 and 3.
    Regional Biocontainment Laboratories (RBL).--The agreement 
directs $40,000,000 to be evenly divided among the 12 RBLs to 
support efforts to prevent, prepare for, and respond to 
infectious disease outbreaks, including, but not limited to: 
(1) conducting research on developing testing for antiviral 
compounds, new vaccines, and point of care tests; (2) 
conducting research on validating methods for identifying 
suitable convalescent plasma for screening donors and other 
prophylactic methods to prevent infections; (3) supporting 
operations costs and facilities upgrades for purchase of 
equipment to speed drug discovery and testing; and (4) training 
new researchers in biosafety level 3 practices.
    Universal Flu Vaccine.--The agreement provides not less 
than $220,000,000, an increase of $20,000,000, for research to 
develop a universal influenza vaccine.

         NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF GENERAL MEDICAL SCIENCES (NIGMS)

    Institutional Development Awards (IDeA).--The agreement 
provides $396,573,000, an increase of $10,000,000, for the IDeA 
program.
    Training the Next Generation of Physician-Scientists.--
There is concern about the shrinking number of physician-
scientists in the nation's biomedical workforce. These highly 
trained researchers with clinical expertise often discover the 
critical connections between what is discovered in the 
laboratory with their patients' conditions in the clinic. They 
play a critical role in translating scientific and laboratory 
advances into improved diagnoses, treatments, devices, 
procedures, and cures. The agreement commends NIGMS for its 
highly competitive Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), 
whereby students enter a combined, integrated MD PhD program 
when they start medical school. The agreement strongly urges 
NIGMS to continue its support of promising physician-scientists 
being trained at research-intensive medical schools with high-
quality laboratory and clinical training. The agreement 
commends NIH for its work to improve the physician-scientist 
pipeline. The agreement requests an update on the enhanced 
pathways for physicians both to pursue research training and be 
competitive for NIH awards, as recommended by the Advisory 
Committee to the NIH Director's Working Group on the Physician-
Scientist Workforce. The update should highlight current 
activities, including increasing the diversity of physician-
scientists, support provided during the transition from senior 
trainee to junior faculty member, and future plans. 
Additionally, the update should describe how feedback has been 
incorporated from current MSTP physician-scientist trainees, 
research-intensive medical schools, and biomedical industry 
representatives.

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

    Endometriosis.--Endometriosis affects one in 10 women, can 
cause intense pain, and is a leading cause of infertility. 
Despite its prevalence and health impact, there has been little 
investment in research to better understand this condition. 
Such research could lead to better health outcomes for millions 
of women. NICHD is strongly encouraged to increase funding to 
expand basic, clinical, and translational research into the 
mechanics of endometriosis, identify early diagnostic markers, 
and develop new treatment methods.
    Impact of Technology and Digital Media on Children and 
Teens.--The agreement remains concerned about the effects of 
technology use and media consumption on infants, children, and 
adolescents and appreciates NIH's continued engagement on these 
important topics. The agreement encourages NIH to prioritize 
research into the cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional 
repercussions of young people's use of technologies, including 
mobile devices, computers, and virtual reality tools, as well 
as their consumption of social-media content, video games, and 
television programming.
    Premature Birth.--Infants who are born preterm can face a 
range of health challenges throughout their lives, and yet the 
mechanisms that lead to preterm birth remain poorly understood. 
The agreement includes an increase to NICHD of $10,000,000 for 
research aimed at enhancing the survival and healthy 
development of preterm infants. These studies may include 
research efforts to identify and understand the causes of 
preterm birth and the development of evidenced-based strategies 
to address the short- and long-term complications in children 
born preterm, including children with intellectual, 
developmental, and physical disabilities. The agreement 
especially urges NICHD to support studies that address health 
disparities in preterm birth and its consequences and requests 
an update on these efforts in the fiscal year 2022 
Congressional Justification.

                   NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING (NIA)

    Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias.--The agreement 
provides a total of no less than $3,118,000,000 for research 
into this area.
    Alzheimer's Disease Cohort Studies.--The agreement commends 
NIA for its leadership in supporting longitudinal, population-
based cohort studies into the causes of dementia. Since rural, 
poor and minority populations may be at enhanced risk for 
dementia, the value and application of these studies are 
enhanced when they include individuals from various geographic, 
ethnic, socio-economic, and generational backgrounds. The 
agreement directs NIA to support diversity in its cohort 
studies, with the specific goal of better understanding disease 
burden and biomarkers by race and geographic region. This could 
be accomplished through enhanced partnerships between existing 
NIA-funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers (ADRC) and non-
ADRC centers in high-risk geographic regions, or through the 
creation of new long-term cohorts in underrepresented groups/
regions.

 NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ARTHRITIS AND MUSCULOSKELETAL AND SKIN DISEASES 
                                (NIAMS)

    Alopecia.--Alopecia affects 6,800,000 Americans, including 
children, and disproportionately impacts women of color. NIAMS 
is encouraged to work with relevant ICs, including NIMHD, to 
develop possible collaborative efforts to increase research 
into this disparity, specifically among Black and Hispanic 
women, and pursue collaborative opportunities that will lead to 
new research discoveries.

                NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE (NIDA)

    Flavored THC.--The agreement appreciates the important data 
collected in the annual NIDA-funded Monitoring the Future (MTF) 
survey. The agreement recommends the inclusion of questions on 
consumption of flavored marijuana vapes and marijuana edibles 
flavored to appeal to adolescents in the MTF survey.
    HEAL Initiative.--The agreement includes no less than 
$270,295,000 for the HEAL Initiative targeted at opioid misuse 
and addiction and has included bill language expanding the 
allowable uses of these funds to include research related to 
stimulant misuse and addiction.
    Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use 
Disorder.--The agreement recognizes that medications, including 
buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone, are effective for the 
treatment of opioid use disorder, and commends NIH for its 
research and policy leadership in this area. However, access to 
these MATs remains limited for many individuals and groups, 
particularly racial and ethnic minorities, people with 
disabilities, residents of underserved rural communities, and 
socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. The agreement 
encourages NIDA and NIMHD to investigate the scope of these 
access disparities and evaluate strategies for eliminating 
economic and regulatory barriers to MAT.
    Opioid Research, Education, and Outreach.--The U.S. 
continues to suffer from a complex public health crisis related 
to opioid misuse. The agreement strongly recommends NIDA 
continue to support research to better understand opioid use 
disorder, focusing on detection, prevention, and treatment, and 
that NIDA continue to provide high-level education for 
healthcare professionals to prevent, recognize, and assist in 
treatment and referral for opioid use disorder within their 
practice.
    Overdose Prevention Centers.--The agreement acknowledges 
the controversial nature of Overdose Prevention Centers and 
encourages NIDA to support research on the potential public 
health impacts of these centers.

               NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH (NIMH)

    State of Bereavement Care.--The agreement is aware of 
research indicating that individuals and families suffer severe 
health, social, and economic declines following the death of a 
loved one--be it a child, sibling, spouse, or parent. The 
agreement encourages OMH, ACF, CDC, CMS, HRSA, IHS, NIH, and 
SAMHSA to examine their activities to advance bereavement care 
for families, including prevalence of bereavement events and 
the details of those events (what relationships are impacted, 
how the loved one died and at what age), risk factors and 
associated health events or outcomes, biological or 
physiological changes in wellbeing, and what interventions, or 
programs could help functional coping or adaptive processing.

            NATIONAL HUMAN GENOME RESEARCH INSTITUTE (NHGRI)

    Emerging Centers of Excellence in Genomic Sciences.--The 
agreement includes no less than $12,500,000 for this activity 
as described in House Report 116-450.

  NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON MINORITY HEALTH AND HEALTH DISPARITIES (NIMHD)

    Chronic Diseases and Health Disparities.--In fiscal year 
2020, NIH launched initiatives to address chronic diseases and 
health disparities in the areas of diabetes, kidney disease, 
and obesity. Chronic diseases and conditions are among the most 
common, costly, and preventable of all health conditions and 
disproportionately affect minority populations. These diseases 
can often leave those suffering from them more vulnerable to 
other diseases. A more comprehensive and holistic effort is 
needed to ensure that efforts to better address health 
disparities and co-morbidity encapsulate the full continuum of 
chronic diseases and their lethality in disparate communities. 
To this end, the agreement includes sufficient funding for 
NIMHD, working in concert with NIDDK, NHLBI, NCI, and NCATS, to 
establish a comprehensive center initiative aimed at a wide 
variety of chronic diseases and their links to health 
disparities. As these diseases are often multi-faceted and 
often regionally linked, NIMHD is encouraged to consider 
funding mechanisms that would support regional multi-
institutional consortiums that produce collaboration, research, 
and translational science on a wide and broad scale.
    Research Centers in Minority Institutions.--The agreement 
includes $80,000,000, an increase of $5,000,000 over fiscal 
year 2020, for this activity.
    Research Endowment Program (REP).--The agreement supports 
the recommendations made by the NIMHD Advisory Council 
workgroup to restore endowment eligibility for REP.

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

    The agreement includes additional funding for FIC to 
support its mission of advancing research on and training the 
future biomedical research workforce in global health.

      NATIONAL CENTER FOR ADVANCING TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCES (NCATS)

    Clinical and Translational Science Awards.--The agreement 
provides $587,544,000 for this activity.
    Cures Acceleration Network.--The agreement provides up to 
$60,000,000 for this activity.
    Full Spectrum of Medical Research.--The agreement applauds 
NIH efforts to support and advance the full spectrum of medical 
research, which ensure breakthroughs in basic science are 
translated into therapies and diagnostic tools that benefit 
patient care while disseminating cutting-edge information to 
the professional community. The agreement notes the importance 
of flagship initiatives, including the CTSA program, to these 
important efforts.
    Gene Vector Initiative.--The agreement recognizes the 
importance and promise of gene therapy in developing new 
treatments for a number of diseases and conditions. The 
agreement provides $10,000,000 to NCATS to expand ongoing gene 
vector initiatives by creating a Consortium for Innovation in 
Large-Scale Gene Vector Production where NCATS, along with 
other partners, can address specific translational roadblocks 
to vector production.

                      OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR (OD)

    Advanced Collaborative Robots in the Health Care Setting.--
The agreement encourages NIH to support research on advanced 
robotic and automation technologies to help nurses complete 
remote physical tasks for patients affected by infectious 
diseases and to limit caregivers' exposure and/or reduce burden 
on the healthcare system. Also, this technology could be used 
for novel neuroadaptive learning control to offer physical 
assistance for fall prevention, pain assessment, and pain 
management for patients.
    All of Us Precision Medicine Initiative.--The agreement 
provides a total of $500,000,000 for this initiative.
    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).--To leverage the 
research work done thus far in a meaningful way and make 
measurable progress towards a cure for ALS patients, it is 
necessary to bring together researchers to capitalize on recent 
advancements, augment existing efforts by bringing into the 
fight against ALS leading researchers from other more developed 
disciplines, and expedite the drive towards a cure the ALS 
community so desperately needs. The agreement encourages NIH to 
incentivize the continued exploration of novel therapeutic 
pathways and support additional clinical trials, thereby 
ensuring that the progress of the last decade can germinate 
into cures with the next decade.
    Artificial Intelligence/Big Data.--Advancing life sciences 
is increasingly dependent on data computation and 
infrastructure, machine learning (ML), and collaborative 
scientific initiatives. NIH is to be commended for leveraging 
the potential of ML to accelerate the pace of biomedical 
innovation, especially in NCI, NIGMS, NIMH, NIBIB, NHGRI, and 
NLM. The Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS), collaborating 
with NLM, has been working in most of the areas identified by 
the recent Advisory Committee to the Director (ACD) on 
Artificial Intelligence to ensure new research datasets meet 
the international Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources 
(FHIR) standard requirements, developing principles for 
consent, and providing opportunities for data experts to work 
in the field of biomedicine. Making full use of these 
opportunities, which rely on scale and collaboration across 
areas of expertise, presents unique challenges to NIH. The 
agreement includes $105,000,000 to support the agency's 
efforts, including $50,000,000 to expand the number of ML-
focused grants and $55,000,000 for ODSS. This funding will 
allow ODSS to coordinate NIH activities on ethics, bias, and 
training in the context of AI and ML, as well as continue its 
work to increase the adoption and use of existing data 
standards and improve data discovery. ODSS is also encouraged 
to create AI-ready data sets and algorithms, with robust 
metadata and standards, and with explainable guidelines 
transparently addressing ethics and bias. There is a growing 
consensus in the research community that more training is 
needed for the use of FHIR in clinical and biomedical research, 
and the recommendation supports expanded training, including 
for underrepresented and underserved groups. The agreement 
requests that NIH provide an update to the Committees on its 
reaction to the ACD's recommendations, and where there is 
agreement, its plans in fiscal years 2021-2022 to implement 
those recommendations no later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act. Further, NIH should closely examine ways it can 
facilitate participation by more universities in the national 
AI effort. In particular, should a university consortia 
establish one or more regional super-computing centers, NIH 
should seek ways to leverage this investment to augment in-
house supercomputing capability. This would allow NIH to have 
more supercomputing capacity available in the near-term to meet 
some of its emerging AI computational-intensive requirements 
and address biomedical research computational requirements not 
being satisfied today. Finally, the agreement supports AI, 
modeling, and simulation at supercomputing scale to respond to 
epidemics to include global disease detection, transmission 
methods, public health data surveillance and analytical 
infrastructure, diagnosing the disease, and developing 
countermeasures for prevention and treatment, infection control 
and mitigation, faster development and manufacturing of 
vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics to prevent or treat the 
virus, and combatting antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic 
resistant bacteria as a result of secondary infections. The 
agreement encourages CDC, NIH, and BARDA to maximize use of the 
national supercomputing capabilities in other Federal agencies.
    Biomedical Research Facilities.--The agreement 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.
    BRAIN Initiative.--As the seat of consciousness and 
cognition, the brain presents unique challenges to the fields 
of science and medicine, especially given disorders of the 
brain such as Alzheimer's disease, addiction, and depression, 
which represent an enormous cost to the American people. 
Because great progress has been made as a direct result of 
projects funded by the BRAIN Initiative, the recent BRAIN 
Initiative Advisory Committee 2.0 report noted that 
``transformative projects'' are now possible at a scale and 
level of completeness that were previously not imaginable. To 
support these efforts, the agreement provides $560,000,000 for 
the BRAIN Initiative, including funding for two specific 
projects outlined in the Advisory Committee's report that stand 
out for their importance to human health and technical 
viability: $40,000,000 for the Human Brain Cell Atlas and 
$20,000,000 for the Armamentarium for Brain Cell Access. To be 
successful, transformative projects will require focused, 
large-scale efforts with multidisciplinary teams and 
capabilities spanning biological sciences, engineering, and 
data storage and computation, with open platforms for 
dissemination of the tools and knowledge realized through these 
projects. Therefore, the agreement requests that NIH move 
forward with plans for transformative projects and report to 
the Committees within 90 days of enactment of this Act specific 
steps taken to advance each project.
    Chimpanzee Maintenance, Care, and Transportation.--The 
agreement directs NIH to provide a written report to the 
Committees every 180 days, beginning no later than December 31, 
2020, that shall include (1) the number of chimpanzees 
transported to the national sanctuary over the last quarter; 
(2) a census of all government-owned and supported chimpanzees 
remaining, if any, at the Alamogordo Primate Facility (APF), 
the Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research 
(KCCMR), or the Southwest National Primate Research Center 
(SNPRC); and (3) a list of any chimpanzee deaths that have 
occurred at any time after January 1, 2020, at APF, KCCMR, 
SNPRC, and the national sanctuary system.
    Continuous Physiologic Electronic Monitoring.--The 
agreement directs NIH to conduct research to examine the 
efficacy and benefits of continuous physiologic electronic 
monitoring that measures adequacy of respiration of patients 
taking opioids in the hospital.
    Dual Purpose/Dual Benefit Research.--The Dual Purpose with 
Dual Benefit Research Program in Biomedicine and Agriculture 
Using Agriculturally Important Domestic Species was a recently 
discontinued interagency grant program funded by United States 
Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and 
Agriculture (NIFA) and NIH. Both NIFA and NIH are commended for 
developing this important interagency program that enhanced the 
use of farm animals as research models and resulted in 
scientific breakthroughs tangibly benefiting both animal 
agriculture and human health. As authorized and encouraged in 
section 7404 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (Public 
Law 115-334), the agreement strongly urges a continued 
partnership between NIH, NIFA, and other relevant Federal 
research and development agencies to develop a next generation 
interagency program using agriculturally important large animal 
species. Domesticated farm animals are recognized as a strongly 
relevant dual-purpose model that can be employed to understand 
the complex problems/challenges in both agriculture and 
biomedicine. Those problems/challenges include, but are not 
limited to, immunity and infection; nutrition and neonatal 
health; microbiome and health; assisted reproductive 
technologies and pregnancy health; developmental origins of 
adult health and disease; and development and testing of new 
diagnostic, genetic, and cell based therapies to identify and 
treat diseases/disorders. The agreement strongly supports 
continuation of this important cooperative program to further 
strengthen ties between human medicine, veterinary medicine, 
and animal sciences, with the goal to improve animal and human 
health and provide enhanced applicability and return on 
investment in research.
    Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO).--
The agreement provides $180,000,000 for this activity. The OD 
is directed to provide an update in the fiscal year 2022 
Congressional Justification on progress made by ECHO-funded 
research.
    Fetal Tissue Research.--The agreement does not include 
report language on Use of Human Fetal Tissue in Research and 
Timely Evaluation of Promising Biomedical Research Proposals.
    Firearm Injury and Mortality Prevention Research.--The 
agreement includes $12,500,000, the same level as fiscal year 
2020, to conduct research on firearm injury and mortality 
prevention. Given violence and suicide have a number of causes, 
the agreement recommends 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 is to report to the Committees within 30 days of 
enactment of this Act 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.--The Chinese government 
continues 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. NIH 
reported in June 2020 that of the 189 scientists at 87 
institutions investigated by NIH, 93 percent received 
undisclosed support from the Chinese government. Approximately 
three-quarters of those under investigation had active NIH 
grants, and nearly half had at least two grants. The agreement 
directs that the Committees be notified quarterly on the 
progress of these investigations, as well as the institutions, 
scientists, and research affected. The agreement continues to 
direct NIH to provide $5,000,000 to the Inspector General to 
continue additional investigations into this issue.
    Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act (Public Law 113-
94).--The agreement continues to provide $12,600,000 to support 
the seventh year of the 10-year pediatric research initiative.
    Harassment Policies.--NIH must do more to play an active 
role in addressing sexual harassment, particularly in 
extramural research settings. For this reason, in the statement 
of managers accompanying the Further Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-94), the agreement 
directed NIH ``to require institutions to notify the agency 
when key personnel named on an NIH grant award are removed 
because of sexual harassment concerns.'' NIH took a major step 
toward implementing this direction in its June 11, 2020, 
clarification of its ``Guidance Regarding Change of Status, 
Including Absence of PD/PI and Other Key Personnel Named in the 
Notice of Award'' (NOT-OD-20-124), but did not require its 
grantees to notify it when key personnel are removed for 
concerns of harassment. The agreement directs NIH to revise 
this guidance within 30 days of enactment of this Act to make 
clear that grantees must identify any changes to key personnel 
on an award that are related to concerns about harassment. As 
proposed by the Government Accountability Office in report GAO-
20-187, the agreement directs NIH, in coordination with the HHS 
Office for Civil Rights, to ``assess the feasibility of 
receiving and reviewing concerns of sex discrimination--
including sexual harassment--and communicating to individuals 
on agency-funded grants the option to notify the agency of 
these concerns, outside of the Title IX complaint process.'' 
The agreement directs NIH to update guidance specifying the 
types of reporting considered to be informal and possible ways 
information regarding concerns of sex discrimination, including 
sexual harassment, may be used. The agreement directs NIH to 
submit to the Committees, within 90 days of enactment of this 
Act, goals and a plan outlining the potential for this pathway 
and guidance and assessing the agency's sexual harassment 
prevention and intervention efforts for grantees, including 
methods to regularly monitor and evaluate sexual harassment 
prevention and intervention policies and communication 
mechanisms. Finally, the NIH Director is directed to provide 
semiannual reports to the Committees detailing progress made 
toward these activities.
    Humane Research Alternatives.--The agreement directs NIH to 
provide a report to the Committees no later than 180 days after 
enactment of this Act on: 1) progress the Interagency 
Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods 
has made on finding alternatives to non-animal research 
methods; and 2) the incentives, if any, NIH offers to encourage 
grantees to consider these alternatives. This directive also 
replaces the directive included under the heading ``Office of 
the Director'' entitled ``Animal Use in Research'' in House 
Report 116-450.
    IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network.--The 
agreement includes no less than the fiscal year 2020 funding 
level to continue this program.
    National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases.--The agreement 
encourages NIH to work with relevant stakeholders to advance 
the establishment of a National Commission on Lymphatic 
Diseases that will make critical recommendations on 
coordinating NIH-wide lymphatic disease research. The Director 
is requested to provide an update to the Committees no later 
than 90 days after the enactment of this Act about specific 
next steps to establish the Commission. In addition, there are 
concerns that not enough research is focused on lymphedema and 
the Director is requested to provide a report to the Committees 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act regarding the annual 
support level for lymphatic research funding over the past five 
years, including the types of grants supported in the last five 
fiscal years.
    National Laboratories.--The agreement directs NIH to update 
the Committees on its work to coordinate efforts with the 
Department of Energy's (DOE) National Laboratories as directed 
in House Report 116-450. The agreement also encourages NIH to 
explore novel applications for radiopharmaceuticals and 
leverage next-generation advanced manufacturing techniques for 
isotope production being made by DOE-funded research 
universities and National Laboratories.
    Office of AIDS Research.--The agreement includes no less 
than $3,090,000,000 across NIH for HIV/AIDS research.
    Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH).--The agreement 
recognizes ORWH efforts to ensure that NIH-supported research 
addresses issues that affect women, promote the inclusion of 
women in clinical research, and develop and expand 
opportunities for women throughout the biomedical research 
career pipeline. To support expanding this work, the agreement 
includes an increase of $5,000,000.
    Pediatric Clinical Trials Authorized Under Best 
Pharmaceuticals for Children Act.--The agreement directs that 
funding authorized by the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act 
(Public Law 107-109) include research to prepare for and 
conduct clinical trials.
    NIH Division of Police.--The agreement notes that the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Commerce, Justice, 
Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021 directs 
the Attorney General to ensure implementation of evidence-based 
training programs on de-escalation and the use-of-force, as 
well as on police-community relations, that are broadly 
applicable and scalable to all Federal law enforcement 
agencies. The agreement further notes that several agencies 
funded by this Act employ Federal law enforcement officers and 
are Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers partner 
organizations. The agreement directs such agencies to consult 
with the Attorney General regarding the implementation of these 
programs for their law enforcement officers. The agreement 
further directs such agencies to brief the Committees on 
Appropriations on their efforts relating to such implementation 
no later than 90 days after consultation with the Attorney 
General. In addition, the agreement directs such agencies, to 
the extent that they are not already participating, to consult 
with the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI regarding 
participation in the National Use-of-Force Data Collection. The 
agreement further directs such agencies to brief the Committees 
on Appropriations, no later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act, on their current efforts to so participate.
    Post-Research Adoption of Animals in Research.--The 
agreement directs NIH to provide a written update on the 
development of a policy requiring grantees receiving extramural 
grants for research using animals to implement post-research 
adoption policies, including an analysis of the associated 
costs and potential regulatory burdens, to the Committees 
within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
    Primate Research.--The agreement recognizes the use of 
nonhuman primates in biomedical research for developing 
vaccines and treatments for public health threats. It also 
acknowledges the obligation in Federal law to minimize animal 
research and consider the use of alternatives wherever 
possible. The agreement directs NIH to commission an 
independent study by the National Academies of Sciences, 
Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) to explore the current and 
future use of nonhuman primates in intramural NIH research. 
This study should include, but not be limited to: an assessment 
of the extent to which primates will continue to be necessary 
for intramural NIH biomedical research and, if so, in what 
areas; an analysis of primate availability and transportation 
options to fulfill current and future research needs; and a 
review of existing and anticipated future alternatives to the 
use of primates and how these could reduce NIH's reliance on 
nonhuman primates to fulfill the agency's mission currently and 
in the future.
    Swine Research.--The agreement is aware of the value of 
some large animal models for use in expediting the translation 
of basic research to find cures and new therapeutics for many 
human diseases. Pigs are an appropriate animal model for human 
health and disease research in some areas given the 
similarities of their anatomy and physiology to humans. 
Additionally, their genomic structure is three times closer to 
that of humans than is the mouse genome. However, pigs have 
complex psychological needs and, when used in biomedical 
research, should be housed and cared for in accordance with 
those needs. Therefore, the agreement strongly encourages NIH 
to study elevating the pig to model organism status. In 
addition, NIH should identify how Institutes can evaluate the 
appropriateness of swine as a model for disease or system-
specific investigation. The agreement directs OD to include an 
update on the progress of potentially elevating the pig to 
model organism status in the fiscal year 2022 Congressional 
Justification.
    Trisomy 21.--The agreement commends NIH for its continued 
support of the Investigating Co-Occurring Conditions Across the 
Lifespan to Understand Down Syndrome (INCLUDE) Initiative. The 
Committee includes no less than $65,000,000, an increase of 
$5,000,000, for this initiative. The agreement reiterates the 
directives under this heading in House Report 116-450. In 
addition, the agreement encourages this project to consider 
research applications related to complementary and integrative 
health approaches to address co-occurring conditions in 
individuals with Down syndrome, such as traditional Chinese 
medicine on development and Applied Behavioral Analysis and 
Applied Verbal Analysis on development and language 
acquisition.
    Women's Health Research Priorities.--The agreement supports 
more focus on this research, including research related to 
gynecology and obstetrics, to address rising maternal morbidity 
and mortality rates; rising rates of chronic debilitating 
conditions in women; and stagnant cervical cancer survival 
rates. The agreement encourages NIH to convene a consensus 
conference within 180 days of enactment of this Act to include 
representatives from relevant stakeholders to evaluate research 
currently underway related to such topics. The agreement 
requests an update on this effort in the fiscal year 2022 
Congressional Justification.

       NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH SAFETY AND QUALITY (NIRSQ)

    The agreement does not include funding for NIRSQ.

                        BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

    The recommendation includes $200,000,000 for buildings and 
facilities, in addition to $225,000,000 from HHS' Nonrecurring 
Expenses Fund. The explanatory statement accompanying the 
Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-
94) encouraged NIH to implement the recommendations of the 2019 
NASEM report Managing the NIH Bethesda Campus' Capital Assets 
in a Highly Competitive Global Biomedical Research Environment, 
especially those relating to developing best practices around 
setting priorities and reforming its internal governance 
process, including empowering a senior leader to manage capital 
planning. Despite its efforts, NIH has not developed a capital 
planning process that is used to guide agency decision-making. 
Capital planning remains fragmented and inconsistent. The 
agreement recognizes the need for significant investment to 
modernize NIH's infrastructure in the coming years, but to 
ensure this work will be effectively executed, NIH must build a 
unified capital planning and management capability to oversee 
all of its portfolio. The agreement directs NIH to reform its 
internal governance process and policies and empower a senior 
leader to manage all of its capital portfolio, including 
projects whose cost exceeds $3,500,000, but falls below 
$10,000,000. Establishment of the Research Facilities Advisory 
Committee (RFAC) has been a step in the right direction, and 
the agreement expects that all projects, regardless of their 
funding source, will be consistently evaluated and ranked by 
the RFAC. The recommendation also expects that as NIH's 
portfolio management capabilities mature, it will develop the 
policies and practices to assess whether construction, 
purchase, or leasing is the most cost-effective approach. The 
agreement directs NIH to provide quarterly updates of its 
efforts to develop best practices. These briefings should also 
include updates of its maintenance and construction plans, 
including a dashboard that compares the original and current 
scores, rankings, costs and schedule for major milestones of 
the projects in its portfolio. Finally, these updates will 
highlight and explain any changes from the original baseline 
estimates for individual 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.
    Children's Mental Health Services.--The agreement continues 
to include a 10 percent set-aside for an early intervention 
demonstration program with persons not more than 25 years of 
age at clinical high risk of developing a first episode 
psychosis.
    Mental Health Block Grant.--The agreement includes a 
$35,000,000 increase for a new five percent set-aside of the 
total for evidence-based crisis care programs as directed in 
House Report 116-450.
    National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative.--The agreement 
includes an increase and directs SAMHSA to distribute the 
grants in accordance with the directives in House Report 116-
450.
    Within the total provided for Mental Health Programs of 
Regional and National Significance (PRNS), the agreement 
includes the following amounts:

includes an increase for grants to entities that are in 
different stages of developing infant and early childhood 
mental health services. The agreement directs SAMHSA to 
allocate a portion of the increase for technical assistance to 
existing grantees, to better integrate infant and early 
childhood mental health into State Systems.
    Mental Health Awareness Training.--SAMHSA is directed to 
continue to include as eligible grantees local law enforcement 
agencies, fire departments, and emergency medical units with a 
special emphasis on training for crisis de-escalation 
techniques. SAMHSA is also encouraged to allow training for 
veterans and armed services personnel and their family members.
    National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.--The agreement 
includes an increase and requests that SAMHSA provide a report 
to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate within 180 days after enactment 
of this Act on the level of funding required to meet the needs 
of the Lifeline, and includes updated data on suicide rates and 
attempts. In addition, SAMHSA is directed to provide a report 
to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate and post such report on SAMHSA's 
website within 180 days of enactment of this Act detailing call 
and text volume over the past three years as applicable. The 
report shall also include an assessment of whether other 
services such as emails, videos, or other digital modes of 
communications would improve service of the Lifeline. As SAMHSA 
considers expanding this service, the agreement encourages

    State Opioid Response Grants.--The agreement notes concern 
that longstanding guidance to the Department to avoid a 
significant cliff between States with similar mortality rates 
was overlooked in the award of fiscal year 2020 funds. For 
future awards, the agreement directs the Assistant Secretary to 
ensure the formula avoids a significant cliff between States 
with similar mortality rates to prevent unusually large changes 
in certain States when compared to prior year allocations. 
SAMHSA is directed to provide State agencies with technical 
assistance concerning how to enhance outreach and direct 
support to providers and underserved communities. The agreement 
continues to direct SAMHSA to conduct a yearly evaluation of 
the program to be transmitted to the Committees on 
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and Senate no 
later than 180 days after enactment and make such an evaluation 
publicly available on SAMHSA's website.

allow the use of medication-assisted treatment and other 
clinically appropriate services to achieve and maintain 
abstinence from all opioids, including programs that offer low-
barrier or same day treatment options.
    Opioid Abuse in Rural Communities.--The agreement 
encourages SAMHSA to support initiatives to advance opioid 
abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery objectives, including 
by improving access through telehealth. SAMHSA is encouraged to 
focus on addressing the needs of individuals with substance use 
disorders in rural and medically underserved areas. In 
addition, the agreement encourages SAMHSA to consider early 
interventions, such as co-prescription of overdose medications 
with opioids, as a way to reduce overdose deaths in rural 
areas.
    Opioid Detoxification.--The agreement recognizes SAMHSA's 
efforts to address opioid detoxification within their Federal 
grant programs by emphasizing that opioid detoxification should 
be followed by medication to prevent relapse to opioid 
dependence. The agreement encourages SAMHSA to continue these 
efforts.

agreement directs SAMHSA to allocate the funds to eligible 
States within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
    Pregnant and Postpartum Women.--The agreement encourages 
SAMHSA to prioritize States that support best-practice 
collaborative models for the treatment and support of pregnant 
women with opioid use disorders. SAMHSA is also encouraged to 
fund an additional cohort of States under the pilot program 
authorized by the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act 
(P.L. 114-198).
    Treatment Assistance for Localities.--The agreement 
recognizes the use of peer recovery specialists and mutual aid 
recovery programs that support Medication-Assisted Treatment 
and encourages SAMHSA to support these activities as applicable 
in its current grant programs.
    Treatment for Hepatitis.--The agreement encourages SAMHSA 
to work with CDC to develop a plan to increase hepatitis A and

SAMHSA's overdose prevention and substance use treatment 
programs. SAMHSA is further encouraged to promote awareness 
about the importance of hepatitis A and B vaccination among 
medical and health professionals, communities at high risk, and 
the general public. The agreement requests an update on these 
efforts in the fiscal year 2022 Congressional Justification.
    Treatment, Recovery, and Workforce Support.--The agreement 
includes an increase to implement section 7183 of the SUPPORT 
Act (P.L. 115-271). SAMHSA is directed to, in consultation with 
the Secretary of Labor, award competitive grants to entities to 
carry out evidence-based programs to support individuals in 
substance use disorder treatment and recovery to live 
independently and participate in the workforce.

    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)(l) of 
the Social Security Act.
    Congregate Care Settings.--Children and adults with mental 
illness, and children and adults with disabilities, living in 
or receiving services in congregate care settings, are in 
facilities not always subject to Federal reporting 
requirements. Data collection within these facilities is 
critical to identifying risks for these critical populations. 
The agreement urges CMS to assess current reporting requirement 
regulations and determine whether to include other 
institutions.
    Continuous Electronic Monitoring.--The agreement encourages 
CMS to study the potential efficacy and benefits of continuous 
physiologic electronic monitoring of all patients taking 
opioids in the hospital.
    Creative Ideas to Lower Health Care Costs.--The agreement

home visiting programs to reach eligible families, provide 
streamlined coverage options for home visiting services, and 
cover specific components of home visiting programs.
    Hospital Based Nursing Programs.--The agreement 
acknowledges recent CMS guidance that impacts funding for 
certain hospital-based nursing programs. The agreement strongly 
encourages CMS to engage with impacted stakeholders when 
determining next steps.

and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committees 
on Appropriations and Finance of the Senate, providing a full 
accounting, including methodology, of federal loans provided in 
fiscal years 2020 and 2021 through the Medicare Accelerated and 
Advanced Payments Program.
    Medicare Part D.--The agreement notes that the rising cost 
of prescription drugs continues to be a critical issue for all 
Americans, including the millions of seniors enrolled in 
Medicare. The agreement encourages CMS to take further steps to 
reduce patients' out-of-pocket costs.
    Medicare Program Integrity Demonstrations Using Advanced 
Technology.--The agreement notes that CMS issued a Request for 
Information in October 2019 to obtain input on how the agency 
can better use emerging technologies to ensure proper claims 
payment, reduce provider burden, and generally conduct program 
integrity activities in a more efficient manner. The agreement 
encourages CMS to consider pilot programs using AI-enabled 
documentation and coding technology to address CMS' top program 
integrity priorities and reduce administrative burden.
    Non-emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT).--The agreement 
continues to direct HHS to take no regulatory action on 
availability of NEMT service until the Medicaid and CHIP 
Payment and Access Commission completes the study requested in 
division A of Public Law 116-94. The agreement notes the 
Committees anticipate such study to be completed in fiscal year 
2021.
    Nursing Home Quality.--The agreement strongly supports the 
committee recently formed by the National Academies of 
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to examine the quality of 
care in U.S. nursing homes. The agreement looks forward to 
reviewing the committee's findings and recommendations.
    Quality Care for Cancer.--The agreement is aware of 
voluntary accreditation by the American College of Surgeons 
Cancer Programs and supports voluntary accreditation efforts 
that improve performance evaluation and inform quality care 
improvements.
    Reimbursement Coding for Reducing Opioid Consumption.--The 
agreement encourages CMS to undertake efforts to ensure 
reimbursement of FDA-approved devices and therapies for unique 
post-surgery patient populations that use alternative means for 
effective pain management. In addition, CMS is encouraged to 
support provider efforts to track patient pain scores and 
reductions in opioid consumption using such alternative means 
for effective pain management.
    Risk Corridor Program.--The agreement continues to direct 
CMS to provide a yearly report to the Committees detailing any 
changes to the receipt and transfer of payments.
    Rural Hospitals.--The agreement directs CMS to study and 
propose solutions that would allow vulnerable hospitals serving 
rural and underserved populations to receive relief in the 
near-term, as well as explore payment options that can ensure 
that more hospitals serving rural and underserved populations 
can operate in a more financially sustainable way. These 
recommendations should be provided to the Committees on 
Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Finance, and the 
Committees on Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce of the 
House of Representatives within 180 days of enactment of this 
Act.
    Survey and Certification.--The agreement directs CMS to 
provide funding to States and territories through an expedited 
process and prioritize efforts to increase quality of care, 
infection control, and maintaining staff levels to protect 
patients and staff. The agreement urges CMS to coordinate with 
the Department of Veterans Affairs on oversight of long-term 
care facilities under the Department of Veterans Affairs, 
including surveys of such facilities.
    Total Parenteral Nutrition Cancer Access.--The agreement 
requests that CMS provide the Committees an update within 180 
days of enactment of this Act on any plans to revise the 
Durable Medical Equipment local policies to allow for 
parenteral nutrition for patients with head, neck, and 
gastrointestinal cancers.

                  HEALTH CARE FRAUD AND ABUSE CONTROL

    Interagency Coordination.--The agreement supports the 
ongoing efforts to coordinate activities between the agencies 
within the Department of Justice and the Department of Health 
and Human Services and expects this coordination and 
collaboration to continue.
    Program Integrity.--The agreement encourages CMS to 
continue working with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to leverage 
Department of Energy's computational facilities to bring state-
of-the-art computational and data analytics capabilities to 
address complex issues in CMS to reduce waste, fraud, and 
abuse.
    Program Integrity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) 
Software.--The agreement strongly encourages CMS to incorporate 
AI software to examine waste, fraud, and abuse in the 
healthcare setting. This technology should allow for the rapid 
interpretation of complex health data and quickly identify 
patterns associated with waste, fraud, and abuse from the 
perspective of both the patient and a facility.

             Administration for Children and Families (ACF)


                     REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE

    The U.S. refugee admission program [USRAP] reflects U.S. 
humanitarian and strategic interests. The USRAP provides for 
the safe resettlement of some of the most vulnerable refugees 
and not only saves lives, but also strengthens national and 
global security by providing support and shared responsibility 
for strategic allies and regions. The agreement notes that 
appropriate consultation with Congress is required by statute 
in advance of the President's determination on the number of 
refugees to be admitted during the coming fiscal year.
    The agreement continues to affirm the community 
consultation process embedded in USRAP, a process which is 
grounded in public-private partnerships and works most 
effectively with cooperation among local, State, and Federal 
stakeholders.
    The agreement continues to encourage HHS, to the extent 
practicable, to ensure resettlement agencies are able to 
maintain their infrastructure and capacity at a level to 
continue to serve new refugees, previously arrived refugees, 
and others who remain statutorily eligible for integration 
services, and to ensure future arrivals are adequately served. 
The agreement directs the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) 
to submit a report within 180 days of enactment of this Act on 
efforts ORR is taking to ensure that ORR and its grantees are 
able to continue to serve such populations, prevent barriers to 
individuals' ability to seek protection and receive services, 
and ensure ORR is able to carry out its mission.
    Transitional and Medical Services.--The agreement continues 
to strongly encourage HHS to increase the percentage of 
eligible arrivals served by the matching grant program and to 
give matching grant programs flexibility in administering their 
programs, including, when justified, carrying over unexpended 
funding and slots and providing exemptions to the 31 day 
enrollment period.
    Victims of Trafficking.--Within the total for this program, 
the agreement includes no less than $4,000,000 for the National 
Human Trafficking Hotline.
    The agreement encourages ACF to work with university health 
centers, allied health professions programs, and medical 
schools to provide health care and mental health services to 
treat the immediate and long-term health needs of victims of 
human trafficking and include human trafficking training in

Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC)

    The agreement notes that the front matter of this 
explanatory statement establishes that language included in 
House Report 116-450 should be complied with unless 
specifically addressed to the contrary in this explanatory 
statement. In cases where the House Report addresses an issue 
not addressed in this joint explanatory statement, the House 
Report language is deemed to carry the same emphasis as 
language included in this explanatory statement.
    The agreement recognizes that HHS estimates it will spend 
significantly more on the UAC program in fiscal year 2021 than 
is currently supported by annual appropriations. This higher 
operating level, supported by fiscal year 2019 supplemental 
appropriations, has helped HHS expand its capacity in State-
licensed shelters while expanding services to children. While 
the Committees understand there are significant challenges in 
estimating annual funding needs, the agreement expects HHS to 
continue to work with the Committees to refine estimates of the 
resources necessary for sustaining its expanded capacity and 
services through the regular, annual appropriations process.
    Communicating with Congress.--The agreement directs the 
Department to continue updating the ``Latest UAC Data'' 
available on HHS' website and to continue to provide the 
Committees the reports, data, and notifications as required in 
fiscal year 2020. Additionally, the agreement directs the 
Department to notify the Committees prior to making any 
administrative or policy changes expected to impact: the number 
of children in ORR custody; shelter operations; the placement 
of children with sponsors; or any post-release services.
    The agreement expects ORR to routinely report on the status 
of efforts undertaken by the Secretary to reunify children with 
parents from whom they were separated at the border, including 
the number of such reunifications and the length of any 
outstanding separations.
    The agreement expects ORR to continue to report to the 
Committees the death of any unaccompanied child in its custody 
within 24 hours, including relevant details regarding the 
circumstances of the fatality.
    Confidentiality of Mental Health Services.--The agreement 
notes serious concern about reports that information provided 
by children during ORR counseling sessions was inappropriately 
shared with other Federal agencies. The agreement directs ORR 
to develop specific policies and procedures within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, consistent with all applicable child 
welfare laws, regulations, and licensing requirements, 
regarding the confidentiality of counseling and mental health 
services provided to unaccompanied children, and of all related 
documentation, including case notes and records of therapists 
and other clinicians, and to ensure shelter providers are aware 
of such policies.
    Facility Oversight.--The agreement directs ORR to submit 
the reports requested under this heading in House Report 116-
450. The agreement recognizes that ORR has not met its 
monitoring goals for biennial comprehensive monitoring of 
facilities. The agreement directs ORR to develop a plan to 
comply with its policy, to increase facility monitoring to 
ensure the safety and well-being of children in its care. The 
plan should identify any additional staffing and resources that 
would be necessary to conduct annual comprehensive monitoring 
visits to each provider facility. The plan should include ways 
to abate the challenges in adhering to regular monitoring 
schedules, as identified in GAO Report 20-609, and should 
incorporate the recommendations of the GAO Report, including 
any potential efficiencies that may be gained through 
coordination with State licensing agencies.
    Records Requests.--The agreement continues to expect ORR to 
maintain records and respond to records requests consistent 
with the requirements of section 552 of title 5, United States 
Code, for information related to all children in ORR's custody, 
regardless of whether such children are housed in Federal 
facilities or, to the extent possible, non-Federal facilities 
managed by other entities. The agreement further notes that the 
Department should not withhold records from disclosure unless 
the Department reasonably foresees that disclosure would harm 
an interest protected by an exemption described in section 
552(b) of title 5 or is otherwise prohibited by law.
    Services for Children.--The agreement expects ORR to spend 
no less than $212,000,000 from all sources in fiscal year 2021 
on post-release services, legal services, and child advocates. 
This will allow HHS to expand such services beyond fiscal year 
2020 levels, to serve children in ORR's care and children 
recently released from HHS custody, as well as to additional 
high-release communities that are not currently being served.
    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 continue to 
submit a comprehensive spend plan to the Committees every 60 
days, incorporating all funding provided in this Act, and 
previous Acts, 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).
    State-Licensed Shelters.--The agreement continues to direct 
HHS to prioritize awarding grant or contract funding to 
licensed, community-based placements (including foster care and 
small group homes) over large-scale institutions, and to notify 
the Committees prior to releasing any funding opportunity 
announcements, grants or contract awards, or plans to lease or 
acquire real property.
    The agreement expects ORR to take steps to consider State 
licensing issues and past performance of applicants prior to 
awarding grants or contracts to care providers, and to 
coordinate with State licensing agencies during ORR grant 
review processes, and post-State monitoring processes, in 
accordance with recommendations made by GAO in GAO Report 20-
609, ``Actions Needed to Improve Grant Application Reviews and 
Oversight of Care Facilities''.
    Temporary Influx Shelters.--The agreement continues to 
expect that influx facilities are used only as a last resort 
when there is not sufficient capacity in State-licensed 
facilities and continues statutory requirements related to the 
operation of influx facilities.

                CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SERVICES PROGRAMS

    Early Head Start (EHS) Expansion and EHS-Child Care 
Partnerships (CCP).--The agreement continues to strongly 
support these programs, and 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 or EHS-CCP grants that are re-
competed would continue to be used for such purposes. Finally, 
the agreement continues to direct ACF to include in the fiscal 
year 2022 congressional justification, the actual and estimated 
number of funded slots for each of the following: Head Start, 
EHS, and EHS-Child Care Partnerships.

Treatment Act. The agreement directs HHS to provide technical 
assistance to States on best-practices and evidence-based 
interventions to address the health, safety, and substance use 
disorder treatment needs of the child and family, including 
guidance on the requirements and key terms in section 
106(b)(2)(B) clauses (ii) and (iii), and to evaluate State's 
activities on plans of safe care.
    Child Abuse Discretionary Activities.--The agreement 
includes $1,000,000 for an additional year of grant funding for 
text- and online chat-based intervention and education services 
through the Child Abuse Hotline.
    The agreement encourages the program to work with nonprofit 
organizations to provide trauma-informed interventions to 
children who have experienced severe trauma caused by abuse or 
neglect and to partner with regional children's hospitals to 
explore how Institutional Review Board-approved research can 
improve the livelihood of children who have been abused, 
neglected, or abandoned.
    Child Welfare Research, Training and Demonstration.--The 
agreement includes $1,000,000 for a pilot project to enhance 
Statewide multi-disciplinary child advocacy studies training to 
improve training in how to prevent, identify, and respond to 
incidences of child abuse. In piloting such training, ACF 
should prioritize States with the existing infrastructure to 
train a large number of individuals, including existing 
partnerships with institutions of higher education in the 
State.
    Adoption Opportunities.--The agreement includes $1,000,000 
to continue the National Adoption Competency Mental Health

providing for the assignment of a unique health identifier does 
not prohibit the Department from examining the issues around 
patient matching, and continues to encourage the Department to 
provide technical assistance to private-sector-led initiatives 
to develop a coordinated approach that will promote patient 
safety by accurately identifying patients to their health 
information. Additionally, the agreement expects to receive the

                               TITLE III


                        DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


                    Education for the Disadvantaged

    Innovative Approaches to Literacy.-- The agreement 
continues to direct the Department to reserve no less than 50 
percent of funds under this program for grants to develop and 
enhance effective school library programs, which may include 
providing professional development to school librarians, books, 
and up-to-date materials to high-need schools. Further, the 
agreement directs the Department to ensure that grants are 
distributed among eligible entities that will serve 
geographically diverse areas, including rural areas and 
underserved communities in urban school districts in which 
students from low income families make up at least 50 percent 
of enrollment.

                      School Improvement Programs

    Supplemental Education Grants (SEG).--The agreement notes 
the total for SEG includes funding for the Republic of the 
Marshall Islands (RMI) pursuant to section 105(f)(1)(B)(iii) of 
the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003. The 
agreement requests an update and an analysis of RMI's education 
resource needs as part of the fiscal year 2022 congressional 
justification.

                           Indian Edcucation

    National Activities.--The agreement includes $7,865,000 for 
National Activities, $500,000 above the fiscal year 2020 
enacted level. The fiscal year 2021 increase to National 
Activities is directed to support the Department's Native 
American language immersion grant program. Funds for the Native 
American language immersion program should continue 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 should continue 
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.

                       Innovation and Improvement

    Education Innovation and Research (EIR).-- Within the total 
for EIR, the agreement includes $67,000,000 to provide grants 
for social and emotional learning (SEL). In addition, within 
the total for EIR, the agreement includes $67,000,000 for 
Science, Technology, Education, and Math (STEM) and computer 
science education activities. 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. Further, the 
agreement continues to support the Department's prioritization 
of computer science education for the STEM set-aside in recent 
EIR grant competitions. To fulfill both set-asides, the 
agreement encourages prioritization of SEL and STEM for both 
the early- and mid-phase evidence tiers. Within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Department is directed to brief the 
Committees on plans for carrying out the SEL and STEM 
competitions. In addition, the Department shall provide notice 
of grant awards to the Committees at least seven days before 
grantees are announced.
    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. 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.
    Charter Schools Program (CSP).--The Department is directed 
to review the extent to which State entities are using set-
aside funds to ensure that charter schools receiving CSP grants 
are equipped to appropriately serve all students, including 
students with disabilities, and include a summary of findings 
of such reviews in the fiscal year 2022 congressional 
justification. In addition, the Department is encouraged to 
take steps to ensure that technical assistance and 
dissemination activities funded elsewhere at the Department, as 
appropriate, support the provision and oversight of special 
education services in charter schools.

                 Safe Schools and Citizenship Education

    In lieu of funding for the Department to engage in a study 
on firearm violence prevention activities with the National 
Academies, the agreement provides $106,000,000 for School 
Safety National Activities, including a $1,000,000 increase 
over the fiscal year 2020 enacted level for the School-Based 
Mental Health Services Grant Program.

                        Rehabilitation Services

    Disability Innovation Fund (DIF).--The agreement includes 
modified authority within the DIF that allows the Department to 
use unallocated funding, in consultation with the Department of 
Labor, for competitive grants to improve opportunities for 
competitive integrated employment, as defined in the 
Rehabilitation Act, for individuals with disabilities. The 
Departments shall brief the Committees on Appropriations; the 
Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of the 
Senate; the Committee on Education and Labor of the House of 
Representatives; the Committee on Finance of the Senate; and 
the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
Representatives, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, on 
its plans for implementation and uses of funds and provide 
updates every 6 months thereafter on implementation.

           Special Institutions for Persons With Disabilities

    American Printing House for the Blind.--The agreement 
includes $3,000,000, 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 (NTID).--The 
agreement includes $6,500,000, an increase of $1,000,000, to 
continue and expand NTID's current Regional STEM Center.
    Gallaudet University.--The agreement includes $3,500,000, 
an increase of $500,000, to continue and expand the current 
regional partnership through the Early Learning Acquisition 
Project.

                      Student Financial Assistance

    Pell Grants.--The agreement increases the maximum award by 
$150, to $6,495 in academic year 2021-2022.
    Federal Work Study.--Within the total for Federal Work 
Study, the agreement includes $10,136,000, for the Work 
Colleges program authorized under section 448 of the Higher 
Education Act.

                       Student Aid Administration

    Ability to Benefit.--In addition to the language in House 
Report 116-450, the Department is directed to implement the 
directive included in the fiscal year 2020 explanatory 
statement and issue guidance within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act that serves as a simple and clear resource for 
implementing Ability to Benefit at institutions of higher 
education (IHEs).
    Borrowers with Severe Disabilities.--According to the 
Department of Education, as of February 2020, approximately 
589,000 borrowers were identified as qualifying for total and 
permanent disability (TPD) discharge through the Social 
Security Administration (SSA) match process, but 362,000 of 
those borrowers had not received a discharge at such time. The 
Department has noted that borrowers must provide an exact match 
to all data elements, and common errors such as a transposed 
letter or number, missing hyphen in a name, or name change from 
marriage can result in a non-match, meaning the borrower will 
not be identified as eligible for a discharge. The Department 
is directed to work with relevant agencies, including SSA, to 
provide the ability to retain and review any non-matches for 
potential clerical errors, and to further simplify all policies 
and procedures for this program.
    Simplifying the Free Application for Federal Student Aid 
(FAFSA).--There is continued support to further simplify the 
FAFSA and verification process to reduce the burden on students 
and IHEs. The Department should provide support for students 
who, due to substance use disorders, are unable to include 
parental information in the FAFSA. This could include further 
efforts to ensure students and financial aid administrators are 
aware of current options for students, providing specific 
information and examples of how students whose parents have 
substance use disorders can utilize current options, and 
exploring other administrative changes to help address the 
unique needs of such students.
    State-based and Non-profit Servicing Organizations.--The 
Department shall ensure a role for State-based and non-profit 
servicing organizations in the Next Gen Federal Student Aid 
Initiative (Next Gen). Many such organizations have 
demonstrated expertise in helping struggling borrowers avoid 
default and may be uniquely positioned to assist borrowers who 
reside in or attend school in the same State or region. In 
addition to the directives in House Report 116-450, the 
Department is directed to brief the Committees not later than 
120 days after enactment of this Act on how State and Nonprofit 
Subcontracting will be incorporated into Next Gen. Further, 
such briefing should address concerns about small business 
subcontracting spending requirements at the Department, 
including how such requirements are determined agency-wide and 
for specific solicitations.
    Student Loan Servicing.--The agreement includes 
$1,853,943,000 for Student Aid Administration. Over the last 
several years, Congress has provided significant funding to 
support the implementation of the Next Gen initiative; however, 
the office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) has changed course 
multiple times, raising questions about how FSA is ensuring 
Next Gen will result in better use of resources and better 
service for borrowers. Most recently, FSA changed course from 
the Enhanced Processing Solution and is now working towards a 
newly proposed Interim Servicing Solution (ISS). While FSA 
states that ISS will be a temporary solution, it is not clear 
how long this environment will be in place or whether this 
recent course of action is best for borrowers. Accordingly, the 
agreement includes new provisions to address specific concerns 
with ISS.
    The agreement includes a new provision requiring the 
Department to delay awarding contracts under the ISS by no less 
than 90 days in order to allow appropriate time for a review of 
the risks of current contracting plans. The agreement also 
includes a new provision that requires Business Process 
Operations contractors to be responsible for all servicing 
requirements related to ISS immediately upon implementation of 
ISS as opposed to only upon implementation of the ISS 
Transitional State. This will help ensure continuity of 
services for borrowers and limit potential disruptions 
associated with the transition to ISS. Further, noting 
challenges with the Department's timeline for the transfer of 
borrower accounts to ISS vendors, the agreement provides the 
Department with the authority to extend current loan servicing 
contracts for up to two additional years.
    In addition to these new provisions concerning ISS, the 
agreement includes a new provision related to accountability 
measures for contractor compliance with FSA guidelines. The 
agreement also includes a new provision requiring the 
Department to provide a detailed spend plan of anticipated uses 
of funds. In addition, the language requires FSA to provide 
quarterly updates on its progress towards fulfilling the spend 
plan, including contracts awarded, change orders, bonuses paid 
to staff, reorganization costs, and any other activity carried 
out using amounts provided under this heading for fiscal year 
2021.
    In addition to the directives in House Report 116-450, the 
agreement continues to direct the Department to provide to the 
Committees quarterly reports detailing its obligation amounts 
and plan by quarter for student aid administrative activities, 
broken out by servicer, Next Gen contractor and activity, and 
detailing contract expenses, performance metric outcomes, total 
number of loans, and number of unique borrowers, broken out by 
servicer, Next Gen contractor and for each private collection 
agency. The agreement also directs the Department to provide 
performance metrics outcomes for each servicer and each private 
collection agency as used to allocate borrower accounts or loan 
volume, regardless of whether such metrics are under review.

                            Higher Education


Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities

    The agreement includes $2,000,000 to establish a technical 
assistance center to translate and disseminate research and 
best practices for all IHEs, including those not participating 
in the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with 
Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) program, for improving 
inclusive postsecondary education for students with 
intellectual disabilities. This center will help ensure that 
knowledge and products gained through research will reach more 
IHEs and students and improve postsecondary educational 
opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities.

Child Care Access Means Parents in Schools (CCAMPIS)

    The agreement includes $55,000,000, an increase of 
$2,000,000 over fiscal year 2020, for CCAMPIS. In addition to 
following the directives in House Report 116-450, and to 
address prior concerns about insufficient application periods, 
the Department is directed to permit a 90-day application 
period for applications for new awards. The agreement extends 
the period of availability for these funds through December 31, 
2021 to accommodate this new requirement.

Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education

    Basic Needs Grants.--The agreement includes $5,000,000 for 
this activity described under this heading in House Report 116-
450.
    Center of Educational Excellence.--The agreement includes 
$2,000,000 for this activity described under this heading in 
House Report 116-450.
    Centers of Excellence for Veterans Student Success 
Program.--The agreement includes $7,000,000 for this activity 
described under this heading in House Report 116-450.
    Modeling and Simulation Programs.--The agreement includes

heading in House Report 116-450.
    Open Textbook Pilot.--The agreement includes $7,000,000 to 
continue the Open Textbook Pilot and support a new grant 
competition in fiscal year 2021. The Department is directed to 
issue a notice inviting applications and allow for a 60-day 
application period. This funding should support a significant 
number of grant awards with the same terms and conditions as 
specified for this activity in the fiscal year 2020 notice and 
House Report 116-450.
    Rural Postsecondary and Economic Development Grant 
Program.--The agreement includes $10,000,000 for competitive 
grants to IHEs and other public and private non-profit 
organizations and agencies for innovative approaches to improve 
rates of postsecondary enrollment and completion among rural 
students through development of career pathways aligned to 
high-skill, high-wage or in-demand industry sectors and 
occupations in the region. Programs that provide academic and 
career counseling and exposure to post-secondary opportunities 
to students as early as 8th grade and continuing through 
secondary and post-secondary education, have been shown to 
significantly increase rates of post-secondary enrollment and 
completion among rural students. In awarding grants, the 
Department should give priority to applications that include 
partnerships with regional economic development or workforce 
agencies, regional employers, or other relevant nonprofit 
organizations. Further, the Department should prioritize 
applications that include strategies for developing and 
maintaining long-term college and career advising relationships 
with middle and high school students to support them through 
their transition to postsecondary education, including services 
to help students transition from 2- to 4-year programs as 
necessary; support alignment of academic programs with, and 
development of, career pathways to high-need occupations in the 
region; and include a sustainability plan to maintain programs 
and services after completion of the grant.
    Transitioning Gang-Involved Youth to Higher Education.--The 
agreement includes $1,000,000 for this activity described under 
this heading in House Report 116-450.

                           Howard University

    The agreement includes $34,325,000 for the Howard 
University Hospital. Within the total, the agreement includes 
$7,000,000 to begin work to modernize the hospital's facilities 
and will continue to evaluate the needs of this multi-year 
initiative.

                 Institute of Education Sciences (IES)

    Operating Plan.--The agreement directs the Director to 
submit an operating plan within 90 days of enactment of this 
Act to the Committees detailing how IES plans to allocate 
funding available to the Institute for research, evaluation, 
and other activities.

                        Departmental Management

    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 authorization of Federal programs.
    Open Data Formats.--The Department is encouraged to take 
necessary planning steps to facilitate the publication of any 
information that is publicly disclosed by the Department for 
the purpose of comparing IHEs, programs, and credentials 
(including their competencies) using open data standards, such 
as formats, schemas, and description languages. Such steps 
should enable public search and comparison through linked 
public data assets. The Department is further encouraged to 
submit a report to the Committees, within 120 days of enactment 
of this Act, outlining a plan for providing such data, 
including any challenges, barriers to implementation, as well 
as anticipated costs for IHEs and the Department.
    Perkins Loan Program.--The agreement continues the 
authority for the Department to provide administrative cost 
allowances for IHEs servicing outstanding Perkins loans. The 
agreement is concerned that the Department has not utilized 
this authority. The agreement directs the Department to provide 
a report to the Committees outlining why this authority has not 
been used, the number of institutions eligible under this 
authority, and an assessment of the potential costs to the 
Student Aid Administration account should such authority be 
fully utilized.
    Post-Secondary Transfer Articulation Agreements.--Transfer 
articulation agreements between community colleges and 4-year 
colleges and universities can play an important role in 
promoting access, affordability, and completion in higher 
education. The agreement encourages the Department to gather 
input from States to develop and disseminate best practices on 
implementing and scaling up comprehensive statewide systems on 
articulation agreements.
    Report Cards.--The Department is directed to brief House 
and Senate authorizing and appropriations committees not later 
than 120 days after enactment of this Act on implementation of 
report card requirements of the Every Student Succeeds Act, 
including reporting of per-pupil expenditures; actual and 
planned monitoring of report card requirements, including 
actions in addition to consolidated monitoring; and assistance 
to States in their and LEA's efforts to comply with such 
requirements.

                           General Provisions

    The agreement continues authority for pooled evaluation 
authority.
    The agreement continues a provision regarding endowment 
income.
    The agreement continues authority for the National Advisory 
Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity.

work to find an appropriate balance between field office 
services and online services for beneficiaries, with a focus on 
supporting front line operations. SSA is directed 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

    [Clerk's note.--Reproduced below is the material relating 
to division I contained in the Explanatory Statement regarding 
H.R. 133, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.\1\]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on
December 21, 2020 by Mrs. Lowey of New York, Chairwoman of the House 
Committee on Appropriations. The Statement appears on page H8712 of 
Book IV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        DIVISION I--LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021

    The following is an explanation of the effects of Division 
I, which makes appropriations for the legislative branch for 
fiscal year 2021. The joint explanatory statement accompanying 
this division is approved and indicates congressional intent. 
Unless otherwise noted, the language set forth in House Report 
116-447 carries the same weight as language included in this 
joint explanatory statement and should be complied with unless 
specifically addressed to the contrary in this joint 
explanatory statement. While some language is repeated for 
emphasis, this explanatory statement does not intend to negate 
the language referred to above unless expressly provided.
    Joint Audible Warning System: The Committees on 
Appropriations of the House and the Senate (hereafter ``The 
Committees'') recognize the importance of maintaining a secure 
emergency communications system throughout the Capitol complex 
in order to ensure the safety of the congressional community. 
This agreement provides funding, as requested, for the 
necessary infrastructure build-out and implementation of a new 
Joint Audible Warning System (JAWS), which will replace the 
legacy annunciator system. The Senate and House Sergeants at 
Arms (SAA), U.S. Capitol Police (USCP), and the Architect of 
the Capitol (AOC) will each play a role in building out the 
JAWS platform, and the Committees expect these agencies to take 
a unified approach to implementing this project. Furthermore, 
the Committees direct all agencies involved to provide a joint 
briefing to the Committees on execution of the JAWS project 
within 30 days of enactment of this act and hold a subsequent 
standing briefing every month thereafter for the duration of 
this project.
    Federal Law Enforcement: The agreement notes that the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Commerce, Justice, 
Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021 directs 
the Attorney General to ensure implementation of evidence-based 
training programs on de-escalation and the use-of-force, as 
well as on police-community relations, that are broadly 
applicable and scalable to all Federal law enforcement 
agencies. The agreement further notes that several agencies 
funded by this Act employ Federal law enforcement officers and 
are Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers partner 
organizations. The agreement directs such agencies to consult 
with the Attorney General regarding the implementation of these 
programs for their law enforcement officers. The agreement 
further directs such agencies to brief the Committees on 
Appropriations on their efforts relating to such implementation 
no later than 90 days after consultation with the Attorney 
General. In addition, the agreement directs such agencies, to 
the extent that they are not already participating, to consult 
with the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI regarding 
participation in the National Use-of-Force Data Collection. The 
agreement further directs such agencies to brief the Committees 
on Appropriations, no later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act, on their current efforts to so participate.
    Reprogramming Guidelines: It is expected that all agencies 
notify 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 that 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.
    Staffing Data in Budget Documents (FTE): House Report 116-
447 included direction to legislative branch agencies to 
coordinate on a plan for aligning FTE levels for consistency in 
reporting. The agreement further directs these agencies to 
include in budget justifications a comparison of FTE based on 
the number of FTE supported by the funding provided in the 
current enacted appropriations legislation and the number of 
FTE that would be supported by the funding requested for the 
following fiscal year.
    Advertising Contracts: House Report 116-447 directed each 
department and agency to include certain information relating 
to contractor diversity in its fiscal year 2022 budget 
justifications, and this directive should be complied with in 
future budget submissions as well.
    Science and Technology Assistance for Congress: The 
Committees have been concerned about Members' requirements to 
have timely, expert information in order to adequately address 
and legislate on the plethora of high-tech issues confronting 
them. As further described in later sections of the statement, 
the agreement provides additional funding for both the 
Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) to hire additional staff for their 
specialized teams working on science and technology issues.
    Cybersecurity for the Legislative Branch: The U.S. Congress 
and the legislative branch agencies are charged with combating 
cyberattacks that could disrupt Congress' ability to perform 
its constitutional duties. Accordingly, the legislative branch 
entities must have the tools and resources necessary to defend 
their networks against sophisticated adversaries. The 
recommendation includes funding requested by legislative branch 
agencies in fiscal year 2021 to strengthen cyber defenses.
    Good Accounting Obligation in Government Act: The Good 
Accounting Obligation in Government Act (Public Law 115-414) 
requires that each Federal agency include an accounting of any 
public recommendation by the (GAO) or the agency's Office of 
Inspector General (OIG) that has not yet been implemented, and 
the timeframe for implementation. The Committees expect that 
each legislative branch agency in this bill include such a 
report in its fiscal year 2022 congressional budget 
justification.
    Offices of Inspectors General Budgets: It is important to 
ensure independence between legislative branch OIG and their 
respective reporting agencies. There shall be a separate 
section in each agency's fiscal year 2022 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 
between the OIG and the Committees.
    Data Centers: The agreement carries forward and includes no 
changes to the standing language regarding data centers 
included in Division E of the Joint Explanatory Statement to 
accompany the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 
(Public Law 116-94).
    Screening Vestibules: The USCP and the AOC are directed to 
provide an updated briefing to the Committees within 90 days of 
enactment of this act on the feasibility of implementing 
screening vestibules outside of the House and Senate office 
buildings. The briefing should include detailed preliminary 
cost estimates and additional studies needed for vestibule 
construction. Additionally, the briefing should cover both 
permanent and temporary options for construction.

                                TITLE I


                                 SENATE

    The agreement includes $998,560,720 for Senate operations. 
This relates solely to the Senate and is in accordance with 
long practice under which each body determines its own 
housekeeping requirements and the other concurs without 
intervention.
    Office of the Secretary: The Senate Committee provides 
these funds for salaries to the Secretary of the Senate without 
apportionment in the interest of facilitating financial 
management duties and restructuring that occurs from time to 
time. The Committee expects to be notified, in writing, in a 
timely manner, of any changes to the staffing levels, 
distribution of staff, or related funding.
    Office of the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper: The 
recommendation includes funding for salaries for the Office of 
the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper to enhance the IT help desk 
experience in the Senate; continue implementation of a Unified 
Communications system; and fully support the continued 
initiative to expand the Senate's cybersecurity capabilities. 
The Senate Committee expects to be updated regularly as the 
Cybersecurity Department develops its strategic plan to 
modernize and harden the Senate's cyber defense.
    The Senate Committee provides these funds to the Senate SAA 
without apportionment in the interest of facilitating financial 
management duties and restructuring that occurs from time to 
time. The Committee expects to be notified, in writing, in a 
timely manner, of any changes to the staffing levels, 
distribution of staff, or related funding.
    Office Cybersecurity: The Senate Committee directs the SAA 
to utilize funds provided for fiscal year 2021 to enable 
personal and committee offices to utilize third-party 
cybersecurity services to protect the privacy and integrity of 
office networks; provide annual cybersecurity audits for all 
Senate offices; provide enhanced cybersecurity training for 
each Senate office; institute protections against insider 
threats; and institute and operationalize enhanced privacy 
protections within the Senate network.
    Senators' Personal Cybersecurity and Cyber Care Awareness: 
The Senate Committee recognizes that Senators are being 
targeted for hacking and cyberattacks, especially via their 
personal devices and accounts and with travel abroad. The SAA 
shall, in coordination with this Committee, the Senate 
Committee on Rules and Administration, and Senate majority and 
minority leadership, continue working towards providing 
voluntary cybersecurity support to any Senator seeking 
assistance with their personal devices or accounts--including 
exploring the options presented in the bipartisan Senators' 
Personal Cybersecurity Working Group's report--under existing 
ethics, rules, appropriations, statutes, and civil law, 
including whether investments in additional IT hardware and 
software, additional personnel, and additional guidelines are 
needed. The SAA is also directed to work with members and staff 
to increase training opportunities surrounding member and staff 
travel abroad.
    E-Signature Platform: The Senate Committee notes that the 
SAA released an electronic signature system, called Quill, for 
Senate personal offices and committees in May 2020, and that a 
majority of Senate offices have already signed up for this 
service. The Committee commends the SAA for its work on 
creating the platform, and for the consideration given to a 
broad range of Senate stakeholder interests and needs. The 
Committee urges the SAA to continue the close working 
relationship with Senate stakeholders, including the Quill 
advisory group, as the platform is used more widely by offices. 
The Committee directs the SAA to brief the Committee regularly 
on the rollout and implementation of the platform.
    Secretary of the Senate Contingent Expenses: The Senate 
Committee provides funds for expenses to the Secretary of the 
Senate without apportionment in the interest of facilitating 
financial management duties and restructuring that occurs from 
time to time. The Committee expects to be notified, in writing, 
in a timely manner, of any cumulative changes in excess of 10 
percent to the funding levels between programs, projects, or 
activities.
    Report on Archival Services: The Senate Committee notes the 
importance of preserving the records of currently serving 
Senators to ensure a full historical record of a Senator's 
service. While Senators' official congressional papers are not 
classified as ``Senate records'' and are not managed by the 
Office of the Secretary, the Senate Archivist and Senate 
Historical Office provide valuable guidance to Senators and 
their offices on records management and preservation. The 
Committee supports the Secretary's advisory role to Senators on 
archiving and seeks to enhance the Secretary's capacity to 
provide archiving services so that Senators' official papers 
will be ready for historical preservation when a Senator leaves 
office. The Secretary is directed to provide the Committee with 
a report within 180 days of enactment of this act detailing 
what current archiving services the Secretary provides to 
Senators, how the Secretary communicates those services to 
Senators, and ways in which the Secretary can further support 
the archiving needs of Senators, particularly with regard to 
digitizing paper records, and including partnering with public 
institutions that are designated by Senators as the repository. 
The Committee asks that the report present options and 
recommendations on increasing the archiving capacity of the 
Secretary (e.g. increased funding, additional personnel, etc.) 
so that the Committee can make an informed decision on how to 
provide additional archiving capability to the Office.
    Study on Withholding Relevant Taxes: Within 180 days of 
enactment of this act, the Disbursing Office should submit a 
report to the Senate Committee regarding the Office's ability 
to withhold relevant and appropriate taxes from Senate 
paychecks to help Senate staff better manage and pay their 
local taxes. The report should include a summary of existing 
capabilities, the estimated cost of the change in policy, an 
accounting of new tools and authorities required, and a list of 
recommendations.
    Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate Contingent 
Expenses: The Committee provides funds for expenses to the SAA 
without apportionment in the interest of facilitating financial 
management duties and restructuring that occurs from time to 
time. The Committee expects to be notified, in writing, in a 
timely manner, of any cumulative changes in excess of 10 
percent to the funding levels between programs, projects or 
activities.
    Unified Communications: The Senate Committee recommendation 
includes funding for the SAA to continue implementation of the 
Unified Communication and Collaboration (UCC) system. The SAA 
is directed to provide semi-annual updates to the Committee on 
the development of the UCC system.

    0Senate Intern Compensation: The Senate Committee continues 
to believe that Senate internships should be available to the 
broadest possible pool of candidates who have the ability and 
interest to serve. Unfortunately, unpaid internships exclude 
those who cannot independently afford to work without pay, 
hindering students' future career opportunities and making it 
more difficult for Senators to attract and hire the most 
qualified interns, regardless of socioeconomic status. 
Providing interns financial compensation provides an avenue for 
more students to have the opportunity to serve their country 
and gain experience toward a career in public service. To date, 
94 percent of Senators' offices expended funds provided in 
fiscal year 2020 to compensate interns.
    In addition to funding allocated in the table above for 
Senators' office allowances and for agency contribution costs, 
the bill includes $6,000,000 for the sole purpose of providing 
financial compensation to interns. Any intern compensation 
funding that remains unspent by any office will be returned to 
the Treasury in accordance with section 101 of the bill. Such 
funding is directed to be allocated among Senators' offices in 
relative proportion to funds allocated for each office's 
administrative and clerical assistance allowance for fiscal 
year 2021 shown in the table above, which reflect natural 
variables including State populations, with a small additional 
amount for non-contiguous states. On average, each office will 
be allocated an estimated $60,000 for intern compensation.

    0Training to ``Stop the Bleed'': Developed by the American 
College of Surgeons (ACS), ``Stop the Bleed'' training is a 
critical lifesaving technique that works to increase 
survivability from mass shootings as well as other casualty 
events. The training empowers first responders, as well as non-
professional individuals, with basic skills and techniques to 
immediately control external bleeding until medical help 
arrives. The Senate Committee supports the continued deployment 
of ``Stop the Bleed'' training on the Capitol campus in order 
to improve survival rates of mass shootings and other events 
causing life-threatening external bleeding.
    Coordinated by Senate Health Promotion and the ACS, ``Stop 
the Bleed'' training is offered 4 times throughout each year, 
with more than 250 Senate staff having received training since 
August, 2018. Senators and their personal offices, committees, 
and support offices should be aware that they may request and 
schedule this training directly for their staffs through the 
SAA. The Committee directs the SAA, in coordination with the 
Office of the Attending Physician, as appropriate, to continue 
incorporating ``Stop the Bleed'' training into the Senate's 
training and development programming for both DC and State 
offices, and to ensure that offices are aware this training is 
available. The Committee expects the SAA to provide periodic 
updates to the Committee, as needed, on the details of such 
training, including planned frequency, trainer competencies, 
and the number of staff trained.

report related to:
    Wellness Programs for Law Enforcement: The Committees 
appreciate the efforts undertaken by the USCP to develop and 
implement a holistic wellness and resiliency program for its 
workforce, to include its partnership with the House Wellness 
Center. The Committees recognize the importance that 
mindfulness plays in having a first responder workforce that is 
holistically balanced and resilient. The Committees are pleased 
that the new USCP structure includes a dedicated FTE to this 
program. Therefore, the Committees direct the USCP to continue 
this effort and to continue to collaborate with the Department 
of Homeland Security's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center 
to expand this initiative through a pilot program so it may be 
reviewed and considered for full implementation across all 
aspects of Federal law enforcement.
    Use of Grounds: The Committees understand the need to 
maintain safety and order on the Capitol grounds and commend 
the Capitol Police for their efforts. Given the family-style 
neighborhood that the Capitol shares with the surrounding 
community, the Committees continue to instruct the Capitol 
Police 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 sled 
riders on the grounds.
    Motorized Micromobility Devices on Capitol Grounds: The 
Committees expect both the USCP and the Senate and House SAA to 
continue to follow the directives included in the joint 
explanatory statement to accompany Division D of Public Law 
116-94. The agreement notes that 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. 
However, there is concern that these options create public 
safety concerns impacting vehicular and pedestrian traffic on 
Capitol Grounds if not appropriately regulated.
    USCP Office of Inspector General: The Committees include 
funds to support no less than six FTE within the USCP OIG. The 
Committees note that additional oversight of the USCP is 
conducted by the GAO to supplement the work of the USCP OIG, as 
needed, as well as the oversight of the USCP provided by the 
Capitol Police Board, the Committees on Appropriations, the 
Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, the Committee on 
House Administration, and Senate and House Leadership Offices.
    Diversity in the USCP: The goal of any police organization 
should be to build a competent and well-qualified workforce 
that includes people from diverse backgrounds. The Committee 
believes that hiring more officers from underrepresented groups 
in the U.S. should be among the critical priorities for the 
USCP. Therefore, the Committee directs the USCP to provide a 
report concurrent with the budget submissions that details: 1) 
the number of activities to try to promote workforce diversity, 
including partnering with organizations that focus on 
developing opportunities for minorities and women; 2) the steps 
taken to attract and retain a diverse workforce; and 3) a 
breakout of USCP positions, sworn and civilian, by ethnicity, 
gender, socio-economic background, and experience level.
    Risk-Based Protections for Members of Congress: The 
recommendation provides $2,000,000 for the Department to 
provide Member security outside of the Capitol campus in the 
National Capital Region (NCR), as warranted by risk-based 
analyses. The Committees expect the USCP to continue working 
closely with the House and Senate SAA and local law enforcement 
partners in the NCR and educating Member Offices on the USCP 
strategy for Members' protection within the NCR while outside 
the U.S. Capitol Grounds, as laid out in the December 2018 
report detailing the Department's plans to enhance off-campus 
Member security in the NCR.

                            GENERAL EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $91,144,000 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 OIG.
    USCP Information Sharing: The agreement encourages the 
Department to develop a process for routinely sharing 
information with the public about the activities and actions of 
the USCP in conducting its mission. This process should be 
consistent with, and not interfere with, USCP's primary mission 
of protecting the Congress and the legislative process.
    Training to ``Stop the Bleed'': The Capitol Police has 
trained 99 percent of its sworn workforce in Tactical Combat 
Casualty Care, also known as ``Stop the Bleed'' training. The 
Committees direct the USCP to continue such efforts, utilizing 
the ``Stop the Bleed'' methodology, to ensure that all officers 
can respond to and administer basic bleeding control techniques 
to individuals with trauma. The Committees direct the USCP to 
provide periodic updates to the Committees detailing such 
training plans for new recruits and current officers.

                        ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION

    The agreement amends 2 U.S.C. 1926(c), by increasing the 
USCP employee educational assistance program reimbursement 
limit from $60,000 to $80,000 for student loan repayments.

                OFFICE OF CONGRESSIONAL WORKPLACE RIGHTS


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $7,500,000 for salaries and 
expenses, of which $1,000,000 shall remain available until 
September 30, 2022.

                      CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $57,292,000 for salaries and 
expenses.
    Responsiveness: The Committees continue to expect the 
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) 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. However, the Committees emphasize the importance of CBO 
fulfilling its statutory duties and functions as prioritized 
under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, in particular 
section 202.
    Promoting Transparency: The CBO provides Congress with 
budgetary and economic analysis that is important to the 
legislative process and can have significant policy 
implications. The Committees support CBO's current and planned 
efforts for improving and promoting transparency of the 
agency's modeling and cost estimate process. CBO should 
continue with efforts on transparency that respect the 
interests of Congress and maintain the agency's professional 
independence. Further, the Committees direct CBO to provide the 
Committees with an updated report within 90 days of enactment 
of this act detailing the agency's ongoing future efforts to 
implement the multi-year plan to increase its capacity to make 
CBO's work as transparent and responsive as possible. This 
should also review the agency's transparency efforts in 2020.

                        ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

    The agreement includes $675,073,280 for the activities of 
the Architect of the Capitol (AOC).
    AOC Office of Inspector General: The agreement includes 
$4,348,000 to support no fewer than 16 FTE within the AOC OIG 
during fiscal year 2021. The Committees reiterate their strong 
support of the AOC OIG and its independence from the AOC 
leadership, but encourage the Office to rigorously track its 
monthly expenditures to ensure it does not exceed the funding 
identified for it.

                  Capital Construction and Operations

    The agreement includes $127,462,000 for Capital 
Construction and Operations, of which $1,500,000 shall remain

    AOC Response to Sexual Harassment Complaints: The 
Committees direct the AOC to provide regular briefings on its 
efforts to prevent instances of harassment and to improve the 
handling of such complaints, as provided in the March 15, 2020, 
AOC OIG review of the AOC's response to sexual harassment 
complaints. The Committees expect the AOC to continue to brief 
the Committees on the status of implementation for each 
recommendation listed in the AOC OIG's report, pursuant to the 
parameters included in Senate Report 116-124.

                            Capitol Building

    Total, Capitol Building..........................        $34,719,000

    Miscellaneous Improvements Notifications: The AOC's efforts 
are appreciated to document and notify the Committees of 
``Miscellaneous Improvements'' projects, which are completed 
projects that cost less than $5,000 for labor and materials. 
The AOC is directed to continue to provide quarterly reports on 
Miscellaneous Improvements projects, including a description 
and cost of each project and the status of total funding set 
aside for this purpose.

                            Capitol Grounds

    The agreement includes $20,560,000 for the care and 
improvements of the grounds surrounding the Capitol, House and

    Total, Capitol Grounds...........................        $20,560,000

    Bicycle Access: The Committees encourage the AOC, the 
Senate SAA, and the USCP, in accordance with all applicable 
laws and regulations, to work in a timely manner with the 
District of Columbia Department of Transportation to pursue 
cost-effective options for providing a protected bike lane to 
safely connect residents, commuters, and tourists to the U.S. 
Capitol, Union Station, and the National Mall.
    Stopping the Spread of Infectious Diseases: The Committees 
direct the AOC to brief the Committees on the costs associated 
with a study on the feasibility of necessary upgrades within 
the Capitol Complex facilities, including doors and elevators, 
to reduce the number of surfaces that are touched by staff and 
visitors with the goal of reducing the spread of infectious 
diseases. The AOC shall brief the Committees within 45 days of 
enactment of this act, and the AOC is encouraged to submit as 
part of its fiscal year 2022 budget request a funding request 
for a full feasibility study on this matter.

                        Senate Office Buildings

    The agreement includes $89,615,280 for the maintenance,

    Total Senate Office Buildings....................        $89,615,280

    Senate Child Care Facility Assessment: Because the physical 
capacity of the Senate Employee Child Care Center (SECCC) is 
extremely limited relative to the number of Senate employees, 
the
    Senate Committee previously directed the AOC to identify 
and evaluate potential options for expanding the physical 
capacity of the SECCC. The AOC submitted the requested study in 
April 2020, and the evaluation includes several potential 
options for expanding the SECCC capacity. The Senate Committee 
continues reviewing the study and working with stakeholders to 
determine a path forward. To facilitate a decision on the 
potential options included in the report, the Senate Committee 
directs the AOC to hold a briefing on the four options, and the 
timelines and costs for each, for the Chair and Ranking Member 
of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative 
Branch and the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee 
on Rules and Administration. The Senate Committee further 
directs the AOC to then hold a subsequent meeting of the same 
Senate stakeholders, again including the Chairs and Ranking 
Members, 60 days after the initial briefing for a discussion of 
the options and which option the stakeholders may prefer. The 
purpose of the second briefing is for the stakeholders to come 
to a suitable and prompt decision and move the project forward 
to the pre-design activities phase, and in order for the AOC to 
include the project funding in future budget requests. The 
Senate Committee notes the importance of facility expansion and 
encourages all stakeholders to reach a decision on a path 
forward before the end of fiscal year 2021.
    In anticipation of a potential decision on one of the 
options presented in the study, the Senate Committee wants to 
ensure that the AOC has the initial resources to move promptly 
and ensure a successful design effort. Therefore, the Committee 
provides $1,000,000 within Senate Office Buildings Minor 
Construction to be used for pre-design activities if the 
selection of a preferred option from the study is finalized. 
Such pre-design activities would include developing a site-
specific program of requirements, an acquisition plan, and an 
independent government estimate.
    Senate and Capitol Food Services: The Senate Committee 
continues the directive contained in Senate Report 116-124. 
Further, the Committee encourages the AOC, in consultation with 
the Senate Committees on Appropriations and Rules and 
Administration, to also evaluate in the master plan the 
permitting of outside food and beverage vendors to cater 
events, receptions, and other occasions that occur inside 
Senate facilities (provided such vendors satisfy Senate 
requirements pertaining to proof of insurance, cleaning, and 
other accommodations as necessary) and how outside catering 
would impact on-campus food service providers.
    Composting Program: The AOC program to collect and process 
post-consumer compostables generated in Senate offices ended in 
2016. Since that time, the Senate composting program has 
focused exclusively on diverting kitchen-generated food waste. 
Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the AOC shall report 
to the Senate Committees on Appropriations and Rules and 
Administration regarding the necessary resources and 
authorities required to restart a post-consumer composting 
program in Senate offices, including the benefit to the Senate 
of such a program.

    Recognition of Increasing Numbers of Women in Congress: The 
116th Congress celebrates the highest number of female Members 
of Congress ever to serve in the body. The work of the 
Architect, the House Curator, and the Capitol Historical 
Society to increase images of women in public spaces in 
Congress is supported and commended. To further increase female 
representation, the House Curator is requested to create a list 
of 10 notable female historic figures not already displayed as 
a Capitol statue who have made remarkable contributions to 
society, as well as 10 former or current female members of 
Congress who have set trailblazing records. The House Curator 
is also directed, in collaboration with the AOC, to provide a 
report identifying areas within House-controlled facilities and 
spaces where there is space for new portraits of distinguished 
female members to be displayed.
    Single-Stall Bathrooms: As indicated in the House report, 
there is concern about the lack of availability of public 
single-stall bathrooms in House office buildings. The Architect 
is requested to submit a report within 90 days of enactment of 
this act detailing the number of these bathrooms in each House 
office building. The Architect is also encouraged to consider 
how to incorporate single-stall bathrooms in appropriate future 
construction and remodeling projects for House office 
buildings.

                          Capitol Power Plant

programming.

                         Capitol Visitor Center

    The agreement includes $24,751,000 for the Capitol Visitor

behind schedule or over budget.
    Construction Reimbursement Fund: The Committees appreciate 
the Architect's proposal to create a construction reimbursement 
fund, similar to working capital funds that other agencies use, 
for its potential to simplify accounting, increase 
efficiencies, and potentially create budget savings. However, 
the intricacies of scorekeeping and the need to engage both 
authorizing and appropriations committees in its development 
have prevented its inclusion in this agreement. The AOC is 
encouraged to submit this proposal in its fiscal year 2022 
budget proposal and prepare to thoroughly brief all relevant 
parties for their consideration.

which is the third appropriation of $10,000,000 for the 
project. This funding is available until expended and is 
available only upon approval of the Committees. In addition to 
the information provided in the annual budget justification, 
the Library is directed to provide quarterly updates to the 
Committees on the project's design, cost estimates, obligations 
incurred by fiscal year source, and anticipated construction 
and implementation timelines. Cost estimates should be 
validated by both the Librarian and the Architect of the 
Capitol. These updates should also include reports on the 
Library's progress on fundraising initiatives for private 
funding, including both donations in-hand and verbal 
commitments.
    Preservation of the Collection: The agreement provides the 
requested level for the Library collection's preservation 
program. Of the funding provided, $2,500,000 shall remain 
available until September 30, 2022, to phase out and retire the 
mass de-acidification program. The remainder of the Library 
preservation program shall be conducted as described in the 
fiscal year 2021 budget request. The Committees do not intend 
to fund the de-acidification activity in future years. The 
Committees intend that the Librarian will choose which items 
should be de-acidified with the $2,500,000 provided. Within 30 
days of enactment of this act, the Library is directed to brief 
the Committees on how the Library will select items for de-
acidification and complete such work.
    National Film and Sound Recording Preservation Programs: 
The Committees recognize the important work of the National 
Film Preservation Program and the National Sound Recording 
Preservation Program, including the federally chartered 
National Film and National Recording Preservation Foundations. 
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 
Committees expect that the Library will continue to support 
them.
    Women's Suffrage Anniversary: With an historic number of 
women serving in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. 
Senate, the 100-year anniversary of women achieving the right 
to vote in the U.S. aligns perfectly with the diverse 
composition of the 116th Congress. Congress recognizes the 
significance of the centennial of the passage and ratification 
of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. The Library is 
encouraged to continue to raise awareness of this anniversary 
through displays, exhibits, and commemorative documents, such 
as pamphlets and flyers.
    IT Modernization: The Library is encouraged to continue to 
invest 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. The 
Library is directed to regularly brief the Committees on these 
efforts.
    Meeting of Frontiers: The Committees continue to direct the 
Library to: accession all materials collected from Russian and 
American repositories or to provide links to partner 
institutions' collections; ensure all existing English-language 
translations of explanatory text, supplemental information, and 
links that allow visitors to the site to fully understand the 
documents are migrated to the new platform; include on the new 
site, after additional consultation with Alaskan stakeholders, 
additional links to repositories of Alaskan and Russian-
American materials held in Alaska and throughout the United 
States; engage in meaningful consultation with American Arctic 
scholars, librarians, archivists, teachers, and other 
stakeholders regarding the content and usefulness of the 
Meeting of Frontiers collection on the new platform; maintain 
the original Meeting of Frontiers website; and submit, no later 
than February 2, 2021, a report on the additional progress made 
to accomplish these directives.
    Overseas Offices: The Library's 6 overseas offices work 
with more than 75 African, Asian, Middle Eastern, and South 
American countries to acquire, catalog, and preserve 
publications from countries with inadequate acquisition 
methods. The Committee continues to support this important 
work.

                            Copyright Office


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $48,634,000 in direct appropriations 
to the Copyright Office. An additional $41,782,000 is made 
available from receipts for salaries and expenses and 
$3,000,000 is available from prior year unobligated balances, 
for a total of $93,416,000.
    The following initiatives that were requested by the 
Library are included in the agreement: Copyright Fee 
Realignment; Copyright Royalty Judges Staffing; and Music 
Modernization Act (MMA) Staffing.
    Copyright Office Staffing: The Committees expect the 
Copyright Office to brief the Committees on its hiring efforts 
to implement the MMA within 90 days of enactment of this act.
    Information Technology Modernization: The agreement 
continues funding for the Copyright Office modernization effort 
in order to effectively serve users and copyright owners in the 
21st century. The collaboration between the Copyright Office 
and the Library's Office of Chief Information Officer is 
commended and the two are directed to continue to work together 
to achieve efficiencies in shared services, while allowing for 
mission-specific modernization to be the responsibility of the 
Copyright Office. The Copyright Office is directed to provide a 
detailed spending plan for the IT modernization efforts funded 
in fiscal year 2021.

                     Congressional Research Service


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $125,495,000 for salaries and 
expenses, for the Congressional Research Service (CRS).
    Science & Technology Research Capacity: CRS's efforts to 
increase the depth and breadth of its capacity to provide 
research and policy analysis on current and emerging 
legislative issues related to science and technology (S&T) and 
Federal uses and oversight of S&T are important to Congress. 
CRS is encouraged to continue developing this capacity, as 
recommended in the National Academy of Public Administration 
study directed in conference report H.R. 115-929. This added 
expertise will allow CRS to meet the growing need of Congress 
for timely, complex, and multidisciplinary analysis of policy 
issues related to these rapidly changing technologies, the 
effects of Federal Government in oversight of such 
technologies, and the effects of the Federal government S&T 
policies across all sectors. CRS is also encouraged to increase 
outreach efforts to make Members and congressional staff more 
aware of the resources it provides related to S&T issues 
Congress is examining.
    Continuing Education for Congressional Staff: The 
Committees remain interested in the concept of a more rigorous 
and extensive educational program for staff. House Report 116-
447 requested CRS to provide a report within 120 days of 
enactment of this act that develops a design concept for a 1-
year pilot continuing education Congressional law program for 
senior Congressional staff. The report should include 
recommendations on the appropriate number of participants, the 
composition of the group and selection process, the projected 
costs of such a pilot, and possible funding sources.
    Access to CRS Materials: In House Report 116-447, CRS was 
requested to provide reports to the Committees on the 
feasibility of making publicly available CRS reports that are 
contained in its CRSX archive and of providing all currently 
available non-confidential CRS reports in HTML format. Access 
to such reports in HTML format rather than PDF would be 
particularly useful to the physically disadvantaged community. 
The agreement modifies the House requirement for reports to 
instead require briefings to the Committees.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

and revolving funds.

disseminate Congressional serial sets for the preceding two 
fiscal years.

    Government Publishing Office Business Operations Revolving Fund

    The agreement includes $6,700,000, to remain available 
until expended.

                    GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement includes $661,139,000 in direct 
appropriations for salaries and expenses of the Government 
Accountability Office. In addition, $31,342,000 is available 
from offsetting collections, for a total of $692,481,000. 
Within the funding provided, it is intended that GAO increase 
the size of its science and technology assessment staff.
    Within the total, no less than $2,438,000 is provided for 
the GAO Office of Inspector General to support no less than 11 
FTE.
    GAO Science, Technology, Assessment, and Analytics Team: In 
fiscal year 2019, GAO was directed to provide a comprehensive 
plan to reconfigure its science and technology function to 
better address the evolving and time-sensitive needs of 
Congress, and in January 2019, GAO established a Science, 
Technology Assessment, and Analytics [STAA] team. In 
consultation with internal and external stakeholders, academic 
and nonprofit organizations, and Members of Congress, the STAA 
team submitted its plan for staffing needs, resources, areas of 
expertise, and the products and services that the team will 
provide or is currently providing to Congress. The plan 
demonstrates STAA's value and ability to assess upcoming 
technological and digital innovations. Presently, the STAA is 
providing Congress with technology assessments, technical 
assistance, and reports in the areas of oversight of Federal 
technology and science programs, as well as best practices in 
engineering sciences and cybersecurity. GAO's efforts on the 
STAA team are applauded and STAA is encouraged to continue 
providing Congress with unbiased explanatory data while also 
exploring new areas for independent science and technology 
guidance that are relevant to Congress. To better evaluate the 
STAA's relationship to Congress since it was established, GAO 
is directed to submit a report to the Committees within 180 
days of enactment of this act with an analysis of STAA's 
protocols and abilities to address requests from Congress with 
respect to technology assessments, including any 
recommendations for improvement.
    Appropriations and Budget Law: As stated in House Report 
116-447, there is concern that the GAO Budget Appropriations 
Group (the Group) is not always prompt with formal legal 
opinions, informal legal advice and its responsibilities under 
the Impoundment Control Act. As noted in the report 
accompanying P.L. 116-94, the number of requests to the Group 
has increased dramatically over the last five years, 
demonstrating how GAO's analyses are vital to the Committees' 
work. While GAO has taken administrative steps to increase the 
future efficiency of the Group, the agency is encouraged to 
consider whether its resources are optimally allocated between 
its operational teams to adequately support its important 
appropriations law functions and to provide more timely 
responses.
    Duplicative Government Programs: Since passage of Public 
Law 111-139, GAO has been mandated to produce a report to 
Congress identifying duplicative programs throughout the 
Federal Government. Since 2011, GAO has presented 805 actions 
in more than 300 areas for Congress or executive branch 
agencies to reduce, eliminate, or better manage fragmentation, 
overlap or duplication. As of March 2019, Congress and the 
executive branch have addressed or partially addressed 621 of 
those actions resulting in roughly $216,000,000,000 in 
financial benefits. GAO is directed to continue to issue these 
reports as a way for Congress and the executive branch to 
address duplicative programs.

                OPEN WORLD LEADERSHIP CENTER TRUST FUND

    The agreement includes $6,000,000 for the Open World 
Leadership Center (OWLC).
    Agency Name Change: The Committees recognize that the Open 
World Leadership Center Board of Trustees agreed to propose 
changing the name of the Center during its meeting in August of 
2020. The Committees are supportive of the selection and 
respect the decision of the Board. Furthermore, the Committees 
ask that the proposal for changing the name, including any 
necessary legislative language, be formally submitted in the 
agency's fiscal year 2022 budget request in order to include 
the name change in the fiscal year 2022 appropriations act.
    Grant Writer: The agreement maintains the additional 
$100,000 above the request provided in House Report 116-447 for 
OWLC to hire a grant writer to help secure additional funds for 
its mission.
    Reverse Exchange Program Proposal: The Committees are aware 
that the Open World Leadership Center Board of Trustees 
considered and agreed to a proposal on creating a reverse 
exchange program, including a specific request regarding an 
Australia program proposal. The Committees look forward to 
staying informed as further developments are made on this 
proposal.

   JOHN C. STENNIS CENTER FOR PUBLIC SERVICE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

    The agreement includes $430,000 for the Stennis Center for 
Public Service Training and Development.

2021: The agreement includes $2,000,000 for the Joint 
Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies of 2021 
(JCCIC). Within 90 days after January 20th, 2021, the Committee 
directs the JCCIC to provide the Committees with a report 
detailing its total expenses for the 2021 inaugural, 
identifying, where possible, unanticipated cost increases, 
anticipated wrap up costs, and projected unexpended balances, 
if any.
    COVID-19 Response for the Capitol Complex: The agreement 
includes $5,000,000 for the Office of the Attending Physician 
for the response to COVID-19, including testing, in the Capitol 
Complex. Within 90 days of the end of fiscal year 2021, the 
Committee directs the OAP to report to the Committees detailing 
its total expenditures in response to COVID-19 for the Capitol

                                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.
    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.
    Incremental Funding.--The Committees recognize that 
providing full funding for military construction projects if 
they are executable is ideal. However, it continues to be the 
practice 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 six projects that have been incrementally funded, 
however the full authorization of the projects was provided in 
the National Defense Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2021.
    Strategic Construction in the Indo-Pacific Region.--
Military construction can be a strategic asset to enhance 
posture and deter near-peer competitors. The agreement supports 
efforts to execute emergent requirements and accelerate 
construction investments in the Indo-Pacific Command 
(INDOPACOM) region and provides $10,000,000 under Defense-Wide 
planning and design for projects in INDOPACOM that support 
National Defense Strategy objectives to sustain joint force 
military advantages and deter adversaries from aggression 
against our national interest.
    Military Installation Resilience.--The agreement continues 
to support efforts to improve the resilience of military 
installations, pursuant to definitions under 10 U.S.C. 2801 and 
in support of installation master plan development, especially 
to reduce the requirements for new military construction 
following a natural disaster. It encourages installations to 
develop plans that take into account current and future risks 
from extreme weather and severe changes in environmental 
conditions and directs the Department to work with the U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers and Naval Facilities Engineering 
Command to incorporate military installation resilience best 
practices into master planning institute curriculum 
development. Furthermore, the agreement emphasizes that each of 
the Services should prioritize and commit funding to projects 
that improve the resilience of military installations and their 
missions and notes the need to ensure that infrastructure and 
facilities remain operational against natural and manmade 
threats. Recognizing that such investments are critical to 
installation readiness, the agreement provides $4,000,000 in 
planning and design funding for the Army and Air Force, and 
$7,000,000 in planning and design funding for the Navy and 
Marine Corps to continue to develop projects, conduct studies 
and analyses, and update Unified Facilities Criteria, that will 
directly enhance military installation resilience. No later 
than 90 days after enactment of this Act the Services are 
directed to provide a spend plan on the funds appropriated in 
fiscal years 2020 and 2021.
    Defense Access Roads.--The agreement encourages DOD and the 
Department of Transportation to use its authorities under the 
Defense Access Roads program to enhance military installation 
resilience by protecting roadways that are critical to national 
defense from all hazards. This includes authorities provided in 
the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (Public 
Law 116-92) that allow for prioritization of the reconstruction 
or enhancement of, or improvements to, those roads to ensure 
the continued effective use of the roads, regardless of current 
or projected increases in mean tides, recurrent flooding, or 
other weather-related conditions or natural disasters; and the 
replacement of existing highways and highway connections that 
are shut off from general public use by necessary closures, 
closures due to mean sea level fluctuation and flooding. No 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, the agreement 
directs each of the Service Secretaries concerned to certify 
and provide the guidance available to installation commanders 
explaining how to assess defense access road deficiencies 
described in section 2808 of Public Law 116-92 and the process 
for sponsoring projects to address these deficiencies. Military 
services should ensure installation commanders are 
appropriately prioritizing projects for sponsorship that 
mitigate risks to defense access roads with preventive 
intervention.
    Adequate Childcare for Military Families.--The importance 
of secure and adequate childcare for military families is key 
to readiness. DOD has agreed these childcare services and 
benefits help support their recruiting, retention and readiness 
goals, and that there is generally a high level of satisfaction 
among servicemembers who use DOD childcare services. However, 
the success of the program depends, in part, on ensuring 
adequate facilities for child development centers (CDCs) and 
School Age Care (SAC) Program facilities, preferably on 
military installations. The Service Secretaries are directed to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees no 
later than 180 days after enactment of this Act detailing (1) 
all installations that have CDCs and SAC facilities; (2) the 
physical condition of these facilities; and (3) the length of 
time military families must wait before enrolling their 
children into CDCs and SAC programs. To help address the 
significant capacity shortfall, the agreement provides an 
additional $206,200,000 for four unfunded CDCs.
    Fire and Emergency Services.--The agreement notes concern 
with the state of infrastructure that supports fire and 
emergency services, including facilities that are too small for 
new firetrucks and those with outdated fire suppression 
systems. Additionally, some installations lack the proper 
amount of fire stations for adequate coverage and firefighting 
capability. The agreement supports prioritizing projects that 
support fire protection and emergency services and, where 
possible, leveraging local community and private sector 
partnerships to augment fire and emergency services capacity 
and capabilities.
    Federal, State and Local Intelligence Collaboration.--
Several states utilize National Guard Bureau (NGB) facilities 
for intelligence analysis and fusion centers. The agreement 
supports these collaborative co-location projects and urges the 
Department and the NGB to prioritize such projects, including 
Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility projects to 
conduct State and Federal intelligence analysis, in the fiscal 
year 2022 and future budget submissions.

                      Military Construction, Army

    The agreement provides $628,900,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Army'', which is $21,436,000 below the budget 
request. Within this amount, the agreement includes 
$147,000,000 for study, planning, design, architect and 
engineer services, and host nation support.
    Firefighting Houses and Equipment.--The Secretary of the 
Army is directed to provide a report to the Committees, within 
180 days of enactment of this Act, regarding firehouses, 
firefighting equipment, and firefighting personnel on military 
installations in non-contiguous states and territories. This 
report should include a timeline, details, and projected costs 
for the building of any firehouses on DOD installations that 
have firefighting personnel but have substandard working and 
living conditions for personnel and their equipment, suited to 
their mission and needs. The report also should include 
information on remediation efforts to mitigate substandard 
conditions and to protect personnel and equipment.
    Pacific Firefighting Support.--The agreement notes the 
concerning conditions of firefighting facilities from which 
Federal firefighters, Army Forestry Technicians, Army Wildland 
Firefighters and Emergency Service Technicians work to support 
military installations in the State of Hawaii, including 
training that is important to military readiness. In 
particular, the agreement notes substandard condition of a 
facility designated and built by Federal employees as a 
temporary firehouse facility for the U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii 
Directorate of Emergency Services, Fire and Emergency Services 
Division on Oahu poses a risk to training and readiness for 
U.S. Army Hawaii. The agreement directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a plan within 90 days of enactment of this Act 
to replace the current facility with a permanent firehouse 
station facility, including the timeline and projected costs. 
The plan shall also include an interim solution to address the 
substandard working conditions of the above-referenced Federal 
employees until a permanent firehouse station facility is 
constructed, including any necessary actions required to 
address recruitment and retention of fire, forestry, wildland 
and emergency service staff. The Army may synchronize and 
coordinate this report with the directive provided under 
``Firefighting Houses and Equipment'' in House Report 116-445 
to reduce duplicative efforts, however each item noted in the 
House Report should be addressed.

              Military Construction, Navy and Marine Corps

    The agreement provides $1,716,144,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Navy and Marine Corps'', which is $259,462,000 
below the budget request. Within this amount, the agreement 
includes $261,710,000 for study, planning, design, architect 
and engineer services.
    Marine Corps Military Construction Projects in INDOPACOM 
AOR.--There is concern that the Navy has not properly 
synchronized or planned the necessary construction projects 
needed for a Marine Corps presence in the INDOPACOM AOR. The 
Secretary of the Navy is directed to provide a master plan, in 
unclassified and classified format, to the congressional 
defense committees. The plan should outline by fiscal year and 
dollar amount the planned military construction projects to 
support Marines in Darwin, Australia, East Timor and Vanuatu no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.
    Naval Shipyard Modernization.--The agreement supports the 
Department's Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Plan and 
believes the restoral of deferred maintenance availabilities 
along with the public shipyard dry dock investments recommended 
by the plan is critical. The agreement urges the Secretary of 
the Navy to prioritize the timely funding of public shipyard 
infrastructure, in particular, the dry dock and shore 
infrastructure necessary to support critical maintenance of 
surface and submarine fleets by public shipyards.
    Planning and Design.--The agreement reiterates the concern 
that 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. The late addition of large scale and high cost 
infrastructure harms not only the success of the project, but 
the entire program, as existing resources are re-prioritized to 
support late adds. While fact of life changes and unforeseen 
circumstances can cause valid disruptions to the program, there 
is frustration at the lack of planning and wherewithal to 
appropriately program multibillion-dollar projects and 
communicate effectively with the Committees of jurisdiction. 
The agreement supports the Pearl Harbor dry dock replacement 
project and therefore provides an additional $96,000,000 in 
planning and design to begin critical path design efforts. 
Furthermore, the Navy is encouraged to work with and, where 
necessary, educate stakeholders on military construction to 
ensure the success of future projects, program offices and the 
overall military construction program.

                    Military Construction, Air Force

    The agreement provides $616,156,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Air Force'', which is $150,976,000 below the 
budget request. Within this amount, the agreement includes 
$212,556,000 for study, planning, design, architect and 
engineer services.
    Tinian Development Program.--The agreement directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing on steps taken 
to attract an adequate workforce, account for unique market 
conditions, ensure reliable access to construction sites and 
otherwise limit mobilization costs, account for accessibility 
to remote work sites, and any other relevant steps taken no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.
    The Weapons Technology Integration Center (WTIC).--There is 
concern that the WTIC infrastructure is old, inefficient, and 
lacking in secure areas. As directed by the National Security 
Strategy and National Defense Strategy, to keep our asymmetric 
military advantage, the Nation needs to modernize our weapon 
systems, and be able to do so at the speed of relevance. The 
WTIC would enable the U.S. to achieve these needs with modern, 
secure laboratory space that allows the digital transition in 
weapons research and development and increases collaboration 
across a multi-disciplinary workforce that enables rapid 
transition of technologies to the warfighter. The Secretary of 
the Air Force is directed to report to the congressional 
defense committees on the total cost of the WTIC and what 
fiscal years the replacement construction would be submitted no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.
    MIT-Lincoln West Lab CSL/MIF, Increment 3.--There is 
concern that the Air Force did not submit a request for the 
final increment of the MIT-Lincoln West Lab CSL/MIF in the 
fiscal year 2021 budget request. Increments 1 and 2 were 
provided in fiscal years 2019 and 2020. The importance of these 
types of labs, especially the MIT-Lincoln Lab is paramount to 
the Air Force's research and development program. Therefore, 
the Secretary of the Air Force is directed to report to the 
congressional defense committees no later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act on the status of obligation and execution 
for increments 1 and 2, the fiscal year in which the third 
increment will be requested and the amount, and a timeline for 
completion of the project.
    Ground Based Strategic Deterrent.--As part of its fiscal 
year 2021 budget submission, the Air Force provided the 
congressional defense committees with a legislative proposal to 
carry out the activities associated with the recapitalization 
of the Nation's ground based nuclear missile systems. The 
legislative proposal for ground based strategic deterrent 
(GBSD) would allow for the use of research, development, test 
and evaluation (RDT&E) funding for planning and design 
activities and would utilize procurement funding to replace the 
existing launch control and launch facilities in lieu of 
military construction funding. The agreement notes the enormous 
undertaking required to execute the GBSD program, which entails 
replacement of the Minuteman missile fleet, and replacement of 
450 launch facility sites and 45 launch center sites across 
five states. While the Committees support the plan, the 
agreement does not support the legislative proposal at this 
time.
    Recognizing the potential for schedule risk if the 
traditional military construction approach is used, the 
agreement encourages the Air Force to continue to evaluate and 
present suggestions to adjust current military construction 
regulations to improve the program. For example, there are 
viable efforts to group projects, whether by installation, air 
wing, or other grouping, and the Air Force should designate a 
way forward for ease of management and execution. The agreement 
also supports efforts to utilize an approach where a single 
prime vendor may be designated to execute military construction 
projects in coordination with the Army Corps of Engineers. Due 
to the scale of this endeavor and the importance of maintaining 
our nuclear deterrence, the Secretary of the Air Force shall 
designate a senior leader to plan, coordinate and execute the 
military construction, RDT&E, and procurement functions with 
the ability to impact each appropriation as needed. Finally, 
the agreement directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit 
a detailed report outlining the replacement plan for the launch 
control and launch facilities while maintaining the required 
readiness posture no later than 180 days after enactment of 
this Act.
    Air Force Space Situational Awareness.--The agreement notes 
the importance of the Air Force's space tracking mission on 
Maui, which provides a critical capability to tracking, 
identifying, and characterizing space objects of interest. The 
Air Force plans to begin consolidating its mission support 
activities from rented space to permanent construction in 
Kihei, Maui. This proposed permanent facility construction 
would meet Air Force mission needs, increase anti-terrorism and 
force protection, and align with the Air Force's obligation of 
fiscal year 2020 planning and design funds for a consolidated 
presence in west Maui. The agreement directs the Secretary of 
the Air Force to submit a report within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act describing the current approach, timeline, and 
budgetary needs to support this consolidation effort; an 
explanation of how the proposed consolidation preserves the Air 
Force space tracking mission on Maui; a notional plan outlining 
the Air Force's expected community engagement and outreach with 
state and county stakeholders to ensure adequate protection of 
historical, cultural, and environmental resources; and an 
assessment of how the planned consolidation complements 
existing or planned Department of Air Force and DOD activities 
on Maui and in the State of Hawaii.
    Weapons Generation Facilities (WGF).--The agreement directs 
the Department to continue to provide quarterly updates on 
projects associated with the WGF modernization program, 
including the status of planning and estimated timelines for 
projects not yet in the design phase.
    Security Gates.--The agreement urges the Air Force to plan 
and program sufficient funding to address security gate 
deficiencies at Air Force Global Strike Command installations 
in its fiscal year 2022-2026 future years defense program.

                  Military Construction, Defense-Wide


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $2,041,909,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Defense-Wide'', which is $14,389,000 above the 
budget request. Within this amount, the agreement includes 
$162,076,000 for study, planning, design, architect and 
engineer services.
    Hawaii Defense Radar.--The agreement continues to support 
the Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii (HDR-H) and recognizes its 
importance to protecting Hawaii and the continental United 
States from current and future missile threats. The radar is 
necessary to the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) layered defense 
for the Indo-Pacific region and as such, Congress appropriated 
planning and design funds in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 for the 
project. MDA subsequently programmed $23,900,000 of these funds 
for this purpose. However, there is concern that MDA has not 
made sufficient and timely progress in its environmental review 
of potential locations to site HDR-H which has led to delays in 
the military construction elements of the program. 
Specifically, the agreement notes the lack of information about 
the candidacy of the Pacific Missile Range Facility on the 
island of Kauai as an alternative site, including Department of 
the Navy concerns about potentially locating the radar at this 
training range.
    Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program 
(ERCIP).--The agreement provides a total of $191,100,000 for 
ERCIP, an increase of $34,400,000 above the budget request. The 
Secretary of Defense is directed to submit a spend plan for the 
additional ERCIP funds no later than 30 days after enactment of 
this Act.

               Military Construction, Army National Guard

    The agreement provides $349,437,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Army National Guard,'' which is $28,000,000 above 
the budget request.  Within this amount, the agreement includes 
$44,593,000 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. 
Facilities that fail to meet modern safety and security 
standards, contain hazardous materials and do not account for 
the needs of male and female soldiers in the modern Army are 
obstacles to training, readiness, recruitment and retention. 
The Army and ARNG leadership are urged to sufficiently budget 
for military construction so that a sustained investment in the 
Readiness Center transformation plan avoids severely neglected 
operational facilities.

               Military Construction, Air National Guard

    The agreement provides $64,214,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Air National Guard'', which is the same as the 
budget request. Within this amount, the agreement includes 
$3,414,000 for study, planning, design, architect and engineer 
services.
    Corrosion Control Facilities.--The agreement notes concern 
with dual use fuel cell maintenance and corrosion control 
facilities that support both Active and Guard requirements. 
While it is sometimes optimal to share facilities and reduce 
costs, these arrangements do not always adequately meet the 
needs of all stakeholders. For example, at Little Rock Air 
Force Base, corrosion control and fuel cell maintenance that 
supports Guard activities is being accomplished by sharing the 
use of active duty host-owned facilities on a space available 
basis, making it difficult to schedule and complete required 
maintenance actions. Continued maintenance delays can 
negatively impact readiness and mission accomplishment. The 
Committees expect the Air Force and Air National Guard to 
prioritize such facilities to adequately support Guard 
requirements in future budget requests.

                  Military Construction, Army Reserve

    The agreement provides $88,337,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Army Reserve'', which is the same as the budget 
request. Within this amount, the agreement includes $1,218,000 
for study, planning, design, architect and engineer services.

                  Military Construction, Navy Reserve

    The agreement provides $70,995,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Navy Reserve'', which is the same as the budget 
request. Within this amount, the agreement includes $3,485,000 
for study, planning, design, architect and engineer services.

                Military Construction, Air Force Reserve

    The agreement provides $23,117,000 for ``Military 
Construction, Air Force Reserve'', which is the same as the 
budget request. Within this amount, the agreement includes 
$3,270,000 for study, planning, design, architect and engineer 
services.
    Infrastructure Supporting Air Refueling Missions.--Air 
refueling is a critical capability provided by the Air Force 
Reserve (AFR) rapid global mobility mission. The agreement 
notes that certain taxiways at installations supporting the AFR 
air refueling mission, such as at Niagara Falls Air Reserve 
Station, do not meet length requirements and have not been 
updated following aircraft conversion, which limits takeoff 
capacity and increases weather restrictions, reducing the 
readiness of units to respond to global requirements. The 
agreement urges the Secretary of the Air Force to prioritize 
funding for ready-to-execute AFR taxiway repair projects.

     North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program

    The agreement provides $173,030,000 for the ``North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program'', 
which is the same as the budget request.

               Department of Defense Base Closure Account

    The agreement provides $480,447,000 for the ``Department of 
Defense Base Closure Account'', which is $180,000,000 above the 
budget request.
    The agreement provides an additional $80,000,000 for the 
Navy to accelerate environmental remediation at installations 
closed under previous Base Closure and Realignment rounds. 
Furthermore, the Navy shall provide to the congressional 
defense committees a spend plan for these additional funds no 
later than 60 days after enactment of this Act.
    The agreement includes a rescission of $50,000,000 in 
unobligated balances from the Department of Defense BRAC 
account within Army and Air Force.
    Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid 
(PFOA).--The agreement provides an additional $100,000,000 
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.
    There remains concern about the extent of PFOS/PFOA 
contamination at U.S. military installations. While this 
division only covers military installations funded through the 
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.

                         DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


                             Family Housing


                            ITEM OF INTEREST

    Housing Support and Management Costs.--The agreement 
includes section 129 under Administrative Provisions that 
provides an additional $60,000,000 above the budget request for 
Family Housing Support and Management Costs to enhance the

                                TITLE II


                     DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST

    Transition from Active Duty to Civilian Life.--The network 
of support surrounding a servicemember as they transition out 
of the military, and the ability of transitioning 
servicemembers, veterans, and their families to access 
resources through community-built networks, including public-
private partnerships, are critical components to success. The 
Department, in consultation with the Departments of Defense and 
Labor, is encouraged to partner with community 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. The Department 
shall provide an update on these efforts to the Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
    Veteran Data Analytics.--While data on veteran insights are 
currently used for evidence-based policy decision-making and 
high-level analysis, more timely and operationally relevant 
data would better integrate Veterans Experience Office and 
Veterans Benefits Administration operations. VA is directed to 
submit a report to the Committees within 180 days of enactment 
of this Act detailing how it measures effectiveness of current 
outreach to veterans, how integration of data and analytics 
improved outreach and response from veterans, and how the 
development of analytics and data infrastructure can be 
implemented to better target how and when in a veteran's life 
to present information.
    Waste, Fraud and Abuse Prevention System.--As noted in 
House Report 116-445, the Department continues to face 
challenges preventing fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) and is 
encouraged to establish a Department-wide fraud prevention 
system (FPS) that uses predictive modeling and other analytics 
to identify and prevent FWA. The Department is encouraged to 
establish this system, within the VA Central Office, for the 
Veterans Health Administration to use beginning in fiscal year 
2022. The Department is directed to submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations and Veterans' Affairs of both Houses of Congress 
a report no later than 180 days after enactment of this Act on 
the status of FPS integration, including recommendations on 
expanding the FPS tool enterprise wide.
    Asset and Infrastructure Review (AIR) Commission.--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 (P.L. 115-182) 
established an Asset and Infrastructure Review Commission to 
begin work in 2022. This Commission should take into account 
recent accessibility changes within VA and among community 
providers, as well as VA's emergency response role. The 
Department should not accelerate the establishment of the 
Commission, or its work, but should abide by the timeline 
established by the MISSION Act. Moreover, the Department is 
directed to provide to the Committees on Appropriations and 
Veterans' Affairs of both Houses of Congress, within 90 days of 
enactment of this Act, a report on the status and progress in 
developing the criteria and completing the market assessments.
    Use of Authority to Convert Non-Medical Services to 
Contract Performance by Native Hawaiian Organizations or Indian 
Tribes.--Due to the lack of utilization of the Native Hawaiian 
contracting authority in Section 237 of Division F of Public 
Law 116-94, the Department may not have done a sufficient job 
at making eligible communities aware of the opportunity. The 
Department is directed, within 120 days of enactment of this 
Act, to provide to the Committees on Appropriations a plan for 
providing information to relevant communities about their 
eligibility for this opportunity.
    Center for Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander and U.S.-
Affiliated Pacific Islander Health.--The Committees recognize 
the significant contributions of Native Hawaiian (NH), Pacific 
Islander (PI), and U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islander (USAPI) 
servicemembers in the U.S. military and the high number of NH/
PI/USAPI veterans. In addition to the direction included on Vet 
Center Services in House Report 116-445, within one year of 
enactment of this Act, the Department is directed to provide 
the Committees on Appropriations with a feasibility study on 
the establishment of a VA Center for Native Hawaiian, Pacific 
Islander, and U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islander Health to focus 
on research, service, and education to improve the lives of NH, 
PI, and USAPI veterans.
    Unobligated Balances of Expired Discretionary Funds.--The 
Department is directed to submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations quarterly reports detailing all unobligated 
balances of expired discretionary funds by fiscal year.
    Federal Law Enforcement.--The agreement notes that the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Commerce, Justice, 
Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021 directs 
the Attorney General to ensure implementation of evidence-based 
training programs on de-escalation and the use-of-force, as 
well as on police-community relations, that are broadly 
applicable and scalable to all Federal law enforcement 
agencies. The agreement further notes that several agencies 
funded by this Act employ Federal law enforcement officers and 
are Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers partner 
organizations. The agreement directs such agencies to consult 
with the Attorney General regarding the implementation of these 
programs for their law enforcement officers. The agreement 
further directs such agencies to brief the Committees on 
Appropriations on their efforts relating to such implementation 
no later than 90 days after consultation with the Attorney 
General. In addition, the agreement directs such agencies, to 
the extent that they are not already participating, to consult 
with the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI regarding 
participation in the National Use-of-Force Data Collection. The 
agreement further directs such agencies to brief the Committees 
on Appropriations, no later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act, on their current efforts to so participate.

                    Veterans Benefits Administration


                       COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $130,227,650,000 for Compensation 
and Pensions in advance for fiscal year 2022. Of the amount 
provided, not more than $20,115,000 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 $6,110,251,552 for fiscal year 2021 in 
addition to the advance appropriation provided last year.
    The Department's execution of the Compensation and Pensions 
account in fiscal year 2020 was extremely troubling. First, VA 
seemed unaware of period of availability constraints for a 
portion of their funding until the month that the fiscal year 
ended. Second, although aware of an error on their part that 
led to a further period of availability constraint, VBA took no 
action to address it or to make accounting adjustments early 
enough to prevent the possibility of payments to veterans being 
delayed in fiscal year 2021. While Congressional action 
prevented veteran payments from being impacted, the Department 
must be more attentive to ensure that this needless risk is not 
repeated in the future. As part of Congressional action to 
correct this issue, the agreement includes bill language to 
allow recovered funds from fiscal year 2020 to be available 
until expended. The Department is directed to provide to the 
Committees on Appropriations a plan to address the required 
accounting adjustments and reconciliation related to fiscal 
year 2020 benefit payments no later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    Gulf War Veterans Claims for Service-Connected Disability 
Compensation.--The Department's continued high rates of denial 
of Gulf War veterans' claims for undiagnosed illnesses and 
chronic multi-symptom illnesses is concerning. The Department 
is directed to submit a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 180 days after enactment of this 
Act on VA's efforts to improve the grant rate for Gulf War 
illness disability claims as defined in Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) report GAO-17-511, as well as the 
advisability and feasibility of eliminating the deadline for 
filing Gulf War presumptive claims under 38 CFR 3.317.

                         READJUSTMENT BENEFITS

    The agreement provides $14,946,618,000 for Readjustment 
Benefits in advance for fiscal year 2022.
    Adaptive Automobile Grants.--The Department is directed to 
provide a report on the feasibility and advisability, including 
a cost estimate, for providing an eligible individual with an 
additional adaptive automobile grant or other conveyance if 10 
years have elapsed since the date on which the eligible 
individual received the immediately previous such automobile 
grant, other conveyance, or assistance. This report shall be 
provided to the Committees on Appropriations within 270 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    GI Bill Comparison Tool.--As described in House Report 116-
445, the agreement strongly urges VA to make available through 
the GI Bill Comparison Tool information on whether an 
institution of higher education is a minority serving 
institution, a gender-specific institution, or a religiously-
affiliated school, including relevant subcategories.

                   VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES

    The agreement provides $136,950,000 for Veterans Insurance 
and Indemnities in advance for fiscal year 2022. The agreement 
also provides $2,148,000 for fiscal year 2021 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 $204,400,000 shall be available for 
administrative expenses.

            VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

    The agreement provides $33,826 for the cost of direct loans 
from the Vocational Rehabilitation Loans Program Account, plus 
$424,272 to be paid to the appropriation for General Operating 
Expenses, Veterans Benefits Administration. The agreement 
provides for a direct loan limitation of $2,469,522.

          NATIVE AMERICAN VETERAN 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 $3,180,000,000 for General Operating 
Expenses, Veterans Benefits Administration and, of the amount 
provided, up to 10 percent is available for obligation until 
September 30, 2022.
    The funds provided support timely processing of claims, 
including those under the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act 
(Public Law 116-23).
    Equitable Relief.--As described in House Report 116-445, 
the Secretary is directed to continue to grant or extend 
equitable relief to eligible veterans initially deemed eligible 
in instances of administrative error.
    Open Air Burn Pit Claims.--The Secretary is directed to 
provide a report on the rate of denial of benefit claims 
related to burn pits exposure. The report should include 
information on all conditions for which veterans filed a 
benefits claim related to their burn pits exposure, aggregated 
information on the locations veterans are claiming for burn pit 
exposure, and the causes for claims denials. This report should 
be provided to the Committees on Appropriations within 180 days 
of enactment of this Act.
    Efforts to Combat Veteran Underemployment.--The Department, 
in conjunction with the Department of Labor, is directed to 
review efforts to combat veteran underemployment, and to 
provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations within 180 
days of enactment of this Act.
    Solid Start Study.--The agreement urges VA, in consultation 
with the Department of Defense, to conduct a study on the 
feasibility of, and resources necessary for, expansion of the 
Solid Start program to include all healthcare-eligible 
veterans, no matter when they transitioned out of service, to 
ensure more veterans are aware of their earned benefits and 
diminish barriers to VA mental healthcare. Information about 
eligibility for healthcare and other benefits operated outside 
of VBA should be provided.
    GI Bill Apprenticeships and On-the-Job-Training.--VA is 
urged to take additional actions to promote awareness and 
increased utilization of apprenticeships and on-the-job 
training (OJT) programs, including continued coordination and 
support to State Approving Agencies (SAAs) and programs which 
may incentivize increased participation by employers. The 
agreement recommends additional support and resources be 
provided to SAAs for the purpose of increasing awareness and 
utilization of apprenticeships and OJT. The Department is 
encouraged to explore options to expand the program in the 
future, while ensuring proper oversight of SAA contracts.
    Flight Training Approval Process.--The agreement directs 
the Department to conduct a comprehensive review of its current 
approval process of flight training programs for Post-9/11 GI 
Bill benefits within 180 days of the enactment of this Act. 
During the review, VA is recommended to consult with the 
Federal Aviation Administration, Part 141 pilot schools and 
other institutions accredited by the Aviation Accreditation 
Board International in order to develop a simplified and 
streamlined approval process. Within 60 days of completion, the 
Department shall provide a report on the outcomes of the review 
to the Committees on Appropriations.
    Expansion of Benefits to Laotian and Hmong Special Guerilla 
Unit Veterans.--The Department is directed to assess the 
feasibility and advisability, including a cost estimate, of 
expanding eligibility for VA benefits to individuals determined 
by the Secretary to have served honorably in Laotian and Hmong 
Special Guerilla Units and other irregular forces in support of 
the United States during the Vietnam War. This review should be 
submitted to the Committees on Appropriations no later than one 
year after enactment of this Act.

                     Veterans Health Administration

    Care for All Veterans.--VA is recognized for its invaluable 
role in serving the unique needs of veterans, and a strong and 
fully-resourced Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is 
necessary to effectively serve them. The Secretary is directed 
to conduct an analysis and provide a report and cost projection 
to the Committees on Appropriations including the total cost of 
providing all necessary healthcare to all eligible veterans 
within VHA. The report should include costs for the required 
infrastructure, staffing, and other supportive services 
necessary to accomplish that goal, and should be provided to 
the Committees within one year of enactment of this Act.
    National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.--The 
agreement supports the mission and work of the National Center 
for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and provides 
$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.
    VA Facility Issues.--The Committees have provided funding 
for a number of facility construction, donation, lease, 
partnership, and renovation projects over the past several 
fiscal years that VA has not been able to execute. This is a 
growing and troubling trend. The Committees expect VA to 
efficiently utilize the funding provided for all projects. 
Recognizing that the primary obstacle is not related to 
appropriations, the Committees direct the Department to work 
with the Office of Management and Budget and Congress, 
including the Budget and Veterans Affairs Committees of the 
House and Senate, to resolve the issues that inhibit VA's 
ability to execute leases for medical, research and 
administrative offices and facilities.
    House Report 116-445 requests that VA provide reports 
regarding major medical leases, plans to address high-enrollee 
growth areas, research facility infrastructure needs, and 
opportunities for partnerships between small VA research 
programs and academic programs that do not receive significant 
Federal research investments. The agreement directs the 
Department to provide these reports within 180 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    Innovative Research Partnership Demonstration.--New models 
of interdisciplinary research require intense collaboration 
among multiple fields in order to discover critical therapies, 
diagnostic agents, and novel genomic analyses ready for 
precision application at the bedside and in the exam room. The 
Department would benefit from partnerships with public research 
universities to enable the Department to lease space with a 
cutting edge, state or local government-owned research property 
and facility. Within 60 days of enactment of this Act the 
Department is directed to provide to the Committees on 
Appropriations an implementation plan, including cost estimate, 
for a demonstration program to pursue partnerships with one or 
more public research universities. The plan should focus on 
institutions with existing affiliations with the Department and 
deemed to be a high-quality opportunity; set aside the criteria 
of seeking a segregated ``VA space''; and identify and propose 
resolution of any barriers to implementation. The Department is 
encouraged to focus on public universities located in states 
without a VA Center of Innovation. The agreement recommends 
that VA plan within a scope that does not exceed $50,000,000 
over five years.
    Expansion of the Civilian Health and Medical Program of VA 
(CHAMPVA).--The Department is directed to provide a report on 
the feasibility and advisability, including cost estimates, for 
providing medical care under CHAMPVA to eligible children up to 
age 26 regardless of student or marital status. The Department 
should provide this report no later than 270 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    Reduce the Misuse of Drug Therapies.--The agreement urges 
VA to implement a comprehensive medical selection, adherence, 
compliance and digital education program for veterans suffering 
from mental health issues, including PTSD and the long-term 
side-effects of increased exposure to traumatic brain injury, 
through the utilization of cutting-edge, off-the-shelf 
technology and pharmacy management protocols to reduce suicide, 
relapse and hospital visits.
    Alternative Treatments.--As noted in House Report 116-445, 
VA should continue efforts, such as prescription practices, to 
reduce opioid use among veterans. Further, VA is encouraged to 
expand the use of alternative treatments for pain management in 
its delivery of healthcare services.
    Access to Clinical Trials.--The agreement directs the 
Department to provide a report on veterans access to clinical 
trials, including the current process and ways in which the 
process can be improved and expanded, within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act.

                            MEDICAL SERVICES

    The agreement provides $58,897,219,000 in advance for 
fiscal year 2022 for Medical Services, with $1,500,000,000 
available through fiscal year 2023. The agreement provides an 
additional $497,468,000 above the fiscal year 2021 advance 
appropriation for the Medical Services account. 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.

                           Caregivers Support

    The agreement includes $1,195,486,000 for VA's Caregivers 
Program, and notes that the expansion of the program was 
implemented significantly behind schedule. VA is expected to 
dedicate this funding to the program, to not divert the 
resources to other areas, and is required to provide 
notification to the Committees of any reprogramming of this 
funding.
    The requirement for quarterly reporting on obligations is 
continued and must be broadened to include information about 
program expansion, including the number of downgrades, 
terminations, and denials of eligibility under the Department's 
new regulations. The Department is further directed to provide 
to the Committees within 180 days of enactment of this Act, a 
detailed accounting of the impacts of the Department's changes 
to the tier structure and stipend calculations, including the 
number of caregivers who will see reductions in their benefits.
    Within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the Department 
must further provide to the Committees, a summary of the 
findings from the survey completed in fiscal year 2020 of 
caregivers who seek the financial planning services required 
under the MISSION Act (P. L. 115-182), and the plan that was 
developed to monitor this issue.

                  Mental Health and Suicide Prevention

    Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.--The agreement 
provides $10,277,500,000 in discretionary funds for mental 
health programs, which is $20,000,000 above the budget request, 
and includes $312,635,000 for suicide prevention outreach. In 
addition to the direction provided in House Report 116-445, the 
agreement directs the Department to submit a report no later 
than 60 days after enactment of this Act detailing the 
Department's suicide prevention strategy, including the use of 
faith-based programming, steps the Department is taking to 
target interventions with at-risk veterans before they are at a 
crisis point, and the effectiveness of actions taken to date.
    Use of Machine Learning Software to Prevent Veteran 
Suicide.--The Department is encouraged, in coordination with 
the Office of Mental Health and the Office of Suicide 
Prevention, to explore the use of cloud agnostic automated 
machine learning capabilities to rapidly provide predictive 
analysis to stop suicides before they occur. The Department 
should consult with data analytical firms and other government 
agencies that use predictive analytics on how best to apply 
them to prevent suicide.
    Veterans Crisis Line.--The Department is urged to ensure 
the Veterans Crisis Line is able to utilize geolocation 
capabilities in order to ensure accurate emergency dispatch to 
persons at risk of imminent harm to self or others, similar to 
those of 911 call centers.
    VetsCorp.--The Committees are displeased that the 
Department has disregarded the intent of the language included 
in the Explanatory Statement accompanying the Further 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94) regarding 
the VetsCorp pilot program. Although VA has other outreach 
programs, a key and unique aspect of VetsCorp is that veterans 
themselves, working with VA, proactively seek out and connect 
with veterans in their communities who have not been served by 
the Department, in order to help connect them with available 
programs and services. VA should track veterans brought into 
the system through this outreach. The agreement emphasizes the 
importance of this concept and reiterates the direction 
included in House Report 116-445 on this topic.

                    Preventing Veteran Homelessness

    The agreement includes $1,908,769,000 in support of 
programs to prevent veteran homelessness.
    Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF).--The 
agreement provides $420,000,000 for grant awards in fiscal year 
2022, and directs the Department to ensure that an appropriate 
amount of SSVF grants are awarded to organizations that provide 
services to support women veterans. Further, the Department is 
directed to provide a plan to the Committees within 120 days of 
enactment of this Act, for ensuring grant recipients and 
veterans who have received SSVF support from any funding source 
in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 will not face an abrupt reduction 
in support from VA at the end of fiscal year 2021, despite 
continued needs.
    Department of Housing and Urban Development-Veterans 
Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH).--The Department, in 
consultation with HUD, is directed to provide a report that 
includes the following information: (1) the number of case 
managers with temporary or permanent appointments, full and 
part time status, and the number of vacant case manager 
positions by VA Medical Center and state; (2) the number of 
vouchers requested by and the number of vouchers awarded to 
Public Housing Agencies by VA Medical Center and state; (3) the 
rate of voucher utilization by VA Medical Center and state; (4) 
an explanation of any barriers to full utilization of vouchers, 
such as an inadequate stock of affordable housing, insufficient 
number of case managers, landlord refusal of vouchers, and 
reservation for prioritization of high acuity veterans; (5) 
whether localities that have approved exceptions to the fair 
market rent have better utilization rates; (6) whether outcomes 
differ for veterans who are case managed by local contractors 
or VA Medical Center staff; and (7) a summary of veteran 
outcomes in terms of sustained vs. un-sustained housing 
placements, connection to employment/income, healthcare, and 
other benefits by VA Medical Center. The report shall further 
outline efforts VA is taking to increase hiring and retention, 
including through the use of incentives and educational loan 
forgiveness; and what proactive steps VA might take to fill the 
case management workforce pipeline. The report shall include a 
feasibility assessment of individual VA Medical Centers 
developing workforce training partnerships with community 
colleges or universities. This report shall be provided to the 
House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Military 
Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies and the 
Subcommittees on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development 
and Related Agencies no later than 270 days after enactment of 
this Act.
    Redistribution of Unallocated HUD-VASH Voucher Funds.--The 
Secretary is encouraged to issue waivers where necessary to 
prevent Public Housing Agencies from being restricted from 
future HUD-VASH allocations due to vouchers going unused 
because of insufficient referrals from VA. The Department, in 
consultation with HUD, is directed to submit a report to the 
House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Military 
Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies and the 
Subcommittees on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development 
and Related Agencies recommending possible methods to 
redistribute unallocated HUD-VASH voucher funds. The report 
shall include a determination of the feasibility of issuing a 
new solicitation of participation for unallocated HUD-VASH 
vouchers and should be provided to the Committees no later than 
270 days after enactment of this Act.
    Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program.--The 
agreement supports the goal of ending veteran homelessness by 
ensuring veterans access to permanent, affordable housing of 
their choice. However, the Department should continue to make 
funding available for service-intensive GPD beds based on a 
collaborative process with local housing partners, local VA 
Medical Centers, and the Continuums of Care. The Department is 
directed to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations 
no later than 180 days after enactment of this Act on the 
Department's plan to ensure continued access to transitional 
housing assistance for veterans, particularly in rural or 
highly rural areas, once the Department has determined that 
veteran homelessness is at or near ``functional zero''. The 
agreement includes $270,000,000 for the GPD program, which is 
$4,861,000 above the request.
    Veteran Treatment Courts (VTC).--VA is directed to produce 
a report, in coordination with the Department of Justice, on 
the feasibility of sharing information between Departments on 
veterans in the justice system, including sex, age, time of 
service, whether deployed, education, type of offense, 
sentence, completion of VTC, completion of sentence, and 
recidivism. The Committees understand that additional efforts 
have been made to assist veterans who are parents and this 
report should include details about this type of programming. 
The report shall also assess whether this type of information 
sharing may help leaders become more aware of the effectiveness 
of VTCs and make recommendations regarding the allocation of 
additional support and resources. This report shall be provided 
to the Committees within 270 days of enactment of this Act.

               VHA Staffing and Clinical Workforce Issues

    For several years, the Committees have expressed concern 
with the Department's ability to hire and retain physicians, 
physician assistants, nurses, mental health providers, other 
healthcare professionals, and related support staff. The 
Committees appreciate VA's efforts to address these concerns 
but believe a different reporting approach is necessary to 
provide a complete understanding of the scope of the issues.
    As such, in lieu of the reporting requirements included in 
the Explanatory Statement accompanying the Further Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94) and House Report 116-
445, the Committees direct the Department to prepare a 
detailed, comprehensive report to be provided no later than 
June 30, 2021, for fiscal year 2020 data and no later than 
January 31 for each fiscal year thereafter, that identifies its 
most pressing workforce issues, and efforts the Department is 
taking to address these gaps. Among other topics, the report 
should cover workforce issues related to critical occupation 
staffing shortages, as identified by the Office of Inspector 
General (OIG #19-00346-241); mental health providers; physician 
assistants; orthotic and prosthetic professionals; and 
intermediate care technicians.
    Recognizing that the adequacy of Patient-Aligned Care 
Teams, the particular staffing needs of rural and remote areas 
and credentialing are not captured within the personnel system 
but are important to the delivery of healthcare to veterans, 
the Committees direct the Department to provide a report on 
efforts being taken related to these issues in accordance with 
the timeline directed above.
    In addition, the Committees maintain 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 Department is 
encouraged to include recommendations in the report to address 
its workforce issues.
    The Committees look forward to working with the Department 
to develop a consistent format for this report that is useful 
for Congress, the Administration, veterans, and the public. 
Recognizing that information needs may change, the Committees 
note that specific reporting requirements may vary from fiscal 
year to fiscal year.

                            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. The Office of Rural 
Health (ORH) and its Rural Health Initiative have 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.
    In addition to the direction regarding rural health 
included in House Report 116-445, the Department is reminded of 
the study and report required in Senate Report 115-269 
requiring an analysis of the effects of the Veterans 
Transportation Service on health outcomes for veterans.
    Rural Health Continuity of Care.--The Committees encourage 
the Department to sustain continuity of care for rural veterans 
through provider agreements, based on previous models, such as 
the Access Received Closer to Home program, to ensure veterans 
do not experience a lapse in existing healthcare access during 
the transition to the Veterans Community Care Program and 
Community Care 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, as appropriate.

                     Telehealth and Connected Care

    The agreement provides $1,329,566,000 to sustain and 
increase telehealth capacity, including in rural and highly 
rural areas. In 2020, out of necessity, VA expanded telehealth 
access for veterans significantly, but the resulting benefits 
to veterans warrant these efforts becoming more permanent. 
Within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the Department is 
directed to provide a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations on the expansion of telehealth undertaken in 
2020, any lessons learned, and the feasibility of making these 
changes permanent. Further, the Department is directed to 
provide the Committees with a plan to address the future 
telehealth needs of the organization, including the effects of 
anticipated trends and effects on community care, as well as 
efforts to provide telehealthcare for veterans who lack 
reliable broadband access.

                     Gender-Specific Care for Women

    Gender-Specific Care for Women.--The agreement includes 
$660,691,000 for gender-specific care for women, which is 
$35,000,000 above the budget request. The additional 
$35,000,000 is provided for the purpose of expanding 
programmatic support for women's healthcare, and includes 
$1,000,000 for peer support programs for women veterans, as 
described in House Report 116-445. The Department is directed 
to provide a spend plan detailing all planned activities 
related to care for women veterans to the Committees no later 
than 90 days after enactment of this Act and requires quarterly 
briefings to the Committees on the expenditure of the funding. 
The Department is reminded of the annual reporting requirement 
included in the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying Public 
Law 116-94 related to women's healthcare facilities.
    Sexual Assault and Harassment at VA Facilities.--In 
addition to the direction provided in House Report 116-445, the 
Department is directed to conduct a report on incidents of 
reported sexual harassment and assault by veterans at VA 
facilities, and to develop a plan to address this issue no 
later than one year after enactment of this Act.
    Barriers to Women's Care.--The Department is directed to 
provide a report within 180 days of enactment of this Act, 
detailing the corrective actions taken to address each of the 
challenges outlined in the VA Office of Women's Health 
Services' 2015 report titled, ``Barriers to Women's Care.''
    Women Veterans Healthcare Programs and Contact Call 
Center.--Rather than the House directive under the heading 
``Women Veterans Contact Call Center,'' the Committees look 
forward to working with the Department to support the call 
center, as authorized, and other new women's healthcare 
programs and request a report within 180 days of enactment of 
the Act regarding future plans for the call center.
    Assisted Reproductive Services.--The agreement does not 
include the House directive.
    Fertility Treatment and Infertility Services Report.--In 
lieu of the reporting requirements and directives under the 
headings ``Fertility Treatment'' and ``Infertility Services'', 
the agreement directs the Department to provide a report within 
180 days of enactment of this Act regarding the fertility 
treatment and counseling furnished by VA over the past five 
fiscal years. The report should include the following: (1) the 
number of Veterans who received fertility treatment or 
counseling furnished by the Department of Veterans Affairs, 
disaggregated by era of military service of such Veterans; (2) 
the number of spouses of Veterans who received fertility 
treatment or counseling furnished by the Department; (3) the 
cost to the Department of furnishing fertility treatment and 
counseling, disaggregated by cost of services and 
administration; (4) the average cost to the Department per 
recipient of fertility treatment and counseling; (5) in cases 
in which the Department furnished fertility treatment through 
the use of assisted reproductive technology, the average number 
of cycles per person furnished, disaggregated by type of 
treatment; (6) a description of how fertility treatment and 
counseling services of the Department are coordinated with 
similar services of the Department of Defense; and (7) the 
number of women veterans who are ineligible for in vitro 
fertilization treatment or other forms of assisted reproductive 
services currently provided by the Department for certain 
veterans, disaggregated by state of residence, race, age, and 
marital status.

       Opioid Safety Initiatives and Substance Use Disorder Care

    To continue to build upon opioid reduction efforts and 
safety initiatives, the agreement includes $503,660,000 for 
Opioid Prevention and Treatment programs at VA. This includes 
$382,848,000 for prevention and treatment programs, and 
$120,812,000 to continue implementation of the Comprehensive 
Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 (P.L. 114-198).
    Office of Patient Advocacy.--Within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act, the Department is directed to provide an updated 
report to the Committees on Appropriations and Veterans' 
Affairs of both Houses of Congress on its progress implementing 
the patient advocacy sections of Public Law 114-198. The report 
should include detail regarding the specific training and 
instructions that Patient Advocates are given on how 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.

                              Whole Health

    Whole Health.--The agreement provides $73,600,000 for the 
Whole Health initiative, which is $10,000,000 above the budget 
request. The Committees encourage the Department to continue to 
coordinate with the Department of Defense on this initiative. 
Within the total, the agreement includes $5,000,000 for 
creative arts therapies, as described in House Report 116-445.

                             Long-Term Care

    Long-Term Care.--The agreement provides $10,559,783,000 as 
requested by the Department for long-term care. This includes 
$7,082,001,000 for institutional care and $3,477,782,000 for 
non-institutional care. 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, as each veteran requires an 
individualized approach to care. VA is encouraged to continue 
cooperation with community, State, and Federal partners to 
expand these programs.
    Long-Term Care Projections.--In addition to the Long-Term 
Care reports requested in House Report 116-445, the Department 
is directed to prepare a report on the current and projected 
needs for VA long-term care programs, to include both 
institutional and non-institutional care, and the workforce and 
cost estimates necessary to support it. This should include a 
cost-benefit analysis to determine the feasibility of 
incorporating assisted living models into VA's long-term care 
options. The report shall be provided to the Committees on 
Appropriations within 270 days of enactment of this Act.
    Long-Term Care for Veterans with Severe Traumatic Brain 
Injury (TBI).--In addition to the requirement in the House 
Report 116-445, the Department is directed to consider entering 
into agreements to provide long-term specialty care for 
veterans suffering from severe TBIs where VA-provided direct 
care is not available.
    Hospice Care for Veterans.--The Department is reminded of 
the direction in Public Law 115-244 regarding a pilot program 
to improve end-of-life care for combat veterans and Vietnam-era 
veterans. The Department is directed to provide a report within 
90 days after enactment of this Act on the status of continued 
efforts to improve such care.

                          Other Health Issues

    Readjustment Counseling.--The Department is directed to 
submit a report to the Committees no later than 180 days after 
enactment of this Act to highlight best practices of Vet 
Centers and Mobile 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 also evaluate the 
standardization of the current application and selection 
process for these organizations across each district and based 
on these findings, provide recommendations to create selection 
standardization across each district in order to create a level 
playing field for all organizations offering outdoor 
experiences to Veterans. The agreement also notes that as Vet 
Centers are critical to veterans in every state, the Department 
should seek opportunities to hire additional counselors and 
establish additional Mobile Vet Centers.
    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 effects 
that exposure to open burn pits and airborne hazards during 
service had on the health of veterans. Consistent with the 
language included in House Report 116-445, the agreement 
includes $7,500,000 to carry out responsibilities and 
activities of the Airborne Hazards and Burn Pits Center of 
Excellence. Furthermore, the Committees support increased 
outreach to veterans to enroll in the Airborne Hazards and Open 
Burn Pits Registry.
    Molecular Diagnostics.--The Department is directed to 
conduct an assessment of feasibility and advisability, 
including a cost estimate, of providing molecular diagnostics 
at the time of diagnosis as well as at the time of tumor 
recurrence for all cancer patients served by VHA. The 
Department should provide a report of this assessment, along 
with a summary of the current use of this treatment, no later 
than 270 days after enactment of this Act. The agreement 
provides up to $5,000,000 to accelerate the adoption of 
molecular diagnostics for prostate and breast cancer, as 
directed in House Report 116-445.
    Epilepsy Center of Excellence.--In lieu of the direction in 
House Report 116-445, the Department is directed to increase 
its investment to maintain and expand the Epilepsy Center of 
Excellence.
    Intimate Partner Violence.--In addition to the direction in 
House Report 116-445, the agreement continues to direct the 
Department to include the Intimate Partner Violence Program as 
a program of interest with budget detail in the justifications 
accompanying future fiscal year budget submissions.
    Adaptive Sports.--The agreement includes $27,048,000 for 
National Veterans Sports Programs, including $16,000,000 for 
adaptive sports programs, and recommends no less than 
$1,500,000 for equine therapy. The Committees recognize that 
adaptive sports and recreational therapy provide a low-cost 
alternative to other healthcare services that produce similar 
health outcomes. The agreement directs the Department to 
provide a report to the Committees on the feasibility and cost 
associated with expanding access to recreational therapy 
options to all veterans enrolled in VA care within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    Dental Services.--The Department is directed to conduct an 
assessment on the feasibility of ensuring that at least one VA 
Medical Center in each state is capable of providing all dental 
services to eligible veterans and the costs and advisability of 
expanding dental service eligibility beyond current eligibility 
requirements. This review should be submitted no later than 270 
days after enactment of this Act.
    Access to Child Care.--The Department is directed to 
conduct a survey of any existing contracts or other agreements 
related to child care that have been entered into by individual 
VA Medical Centers and Vet Centers and provide the results of 
this survey no later than 270 days after enactment of this Act.
    Lovell Federal Health Care Center.--Given the unique nature 
of the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center 
Demonstration Project joint VA-DOD facility, the agreement 
notes that there is significant potential to improve access, 
quality, and cost-effectiveness of healthcare delivery to 
veterans, servicemembers, and their families. The facility 
serves as a valuable site demonstrating comprehensive 
cooperation and interoperability between VA and DOD, and this 
integration effort must continue as the two Departments 
continue to roll out their respective electronic health record 
programs.
    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.
    Utilization Reporting.--The agreement directs the 
Department to restore regular public reporting throughout the 
year of healthcare and benefits utilization, including by Gulf 
War and post-9/11 war veterans, and to publish these reports on 
the Department's website.
    Obsolete Personal Radio Paging Systems.--Not later than 180 
days after enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall furnish 
to the Committees a report that details the current status of 
Personal Radio Paging Systems at VA Medical Centers and a plan 
to upgrade or maintain paging equipment for operations over the 
next 10 years.
    Health Navigator Services.--The Department is directed to 
provide a report on the feasibility and advisability, including 
a cost analysis, of implementing health navigator services 
throughout VHA for veteran beneficiaries. The Department is 
directed to provide this report within 180 days of enactment of 
this Act.
    Domiciliary Care Claims for Veterans with Early-Stage 
Dementia.--VA is urged to take further actions to ensure 
veterans with early-stage dementia who would have been or had 
previously been deemed eligible for VA domiciliary care, but 
would not be under VA's current processing and treatment of 
claims, continue to receive care at suitable State Veterans 
Homes. This includes the use of any available programmatic or 
administrative authorities.
    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.--The Department is directed to 
report to the Committees within 60 days of the enactment of 
this Act on its findings on the short and long-term outcomes of 
veterans who completed treatment under the demonstration 
project to date.
    Standard of Care.--The Committees encourage the Department 
to standardize surgical workflow solutions across all VA 
medical surgical facilities, as described on page 94 of House 
Report 116-445. The Department is directed to provide a report 
within 180 days of enactment of this Act on the benefits of 
implementing a standard of care for surgical services.
    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 
Department is directed to provide a report on clinical contact 
center modernization efforts to the Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this Act.

                         MEDICAL COMMUNITY CARE

    The agreement provides $20,148,244,000 in advance fiscal 
year 2022 funding for Medical Community Care, with 
$2,000,000,000 available until September 30, 2023. The 
agreement provides an additional $1,380,800,000 above the 
fiscal year 2021 advance appropriation for the Medical 
Community Care account.
    Utilization of Community Care Benefits.--The Committees 
remain concerned about the Department's inability to accurately 
project Veterans' utilization of community care benefits. As 
such, the Department is directed to provide information about 
how they have complied with recommendations in GAO-20-669. 
Further, the agreement directs the Department to provide 
quarterly reports on the expenditures related to the MISSION 
Act for fiscal years 2020 and 2021, as well as an estimate of 
expenditures for each of the next five fiscal years. The 
reports should include information regarding costs by budget 
account and MISSION Act-affected community care, caregiver 
expansion, urgent care and other MISSION Act initiatives, as 
appropriate. The reports should include the number of veterans 
served by each authority for care outlined in section 1703(d) 
of title 38, United States Code, the cost of care broken out by 
authorities in section 1703(d), and the timeliness of care, on 
average.
    The agreement further directs the Department to provide 
monthly reports identifying available resources, obligations, 
authorizations, and anticipated funding needs for the remainder 
of the fiscal year. The report should include detailed 
information on the timing of authorization of care and the 
obligation of funds. It also should provide data broken out by 
VISN on the number of referrals and completed appointments in-
house and in the community, including timeliness.
    The Department has made significant progress on efforts to 
eliminate the backlog of provider claims. In addition to the 
direction in House Report 116-445, within 60 days of enactment 
of this Act, the Department is directed to provide a plan to 
fully eliminate the backlog in provider claims, including the 
number of outstanding claims per state.
    Recording of Obligations.--In fiscal year 2019, in 
coordination with the Office of Management and Budget, VA began 
to record obligations for community care at the time of payment 
to providers, rather than the prior practice of obligating at 
the time of authorization for care. This change in accounting 
practice did not affect the cost or quality of care. Earlier 
this year, VA determined its revised accounting practice was 
not allowed under current law and legislative language was 
required to continue the practice. In the absence of a 
legislative remedy, VA indicated it must revert back to the 
prior accounting practice, which would create a shortfall in 
the Medical Community Care account and require additional 
appropriations to maintain the Veterans Community Care program. 
However, the Administration failed to request the legislative 
remedy or funds to address this shortfall.
    The agreement directs the Department to submit a report, no 
later than 15 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
similar to the report required pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 1351, 
detailing how, under the prior accounting practice, the 
expenditures or obligations would have exceeded the amount 
available in fiscal year 2019 and fiscal year 2020 in the 
Medical Community Care appropriation. The report shall also 
include a proposal to address the inconsistency with current 
law and explain how the Department plans to avoid incurring 
obligations for the Medical Community Care appropriation in 
excess of its available budgetary resources in fiscal year 2021 
and future fiscal years. This report should be completed in 
consultation with the Office of Management and Budget and 
provided to the Committees on Appropriations.
    Access to Community Dental Care.--The Department is 
directed to take actions necessary to increase the number of 
dental care providers available to veterans in the community.
    Support for State Veterans Homes.--The agreement directs 
the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a review 
of the relationship between the Department of Veterans Affairs 
and State Veterans Homes. The review should include an 
assessment of whether the current level of VA's support and 
oversight is appropriate, the feasibility and advisability of 
additional VA oversight of the day-to-day operations of State 
Veterans Homes and the anticipated cost of any increased 
oversight. The Committees encourage GAO to engage state 
Veterans Affairs Agencies, state health regulatory agencies, 
nursing home care experts, as well as other state and Federal 
entities with expertise on the issues, in its review. The 
Committees request a report with recommendations within one 
year of the date of enactment of this Act.
    Long-Term Care Requirements.--The Department is urged to 
work with the Departments of Labor and Health and Human 
Services to streamline Federal requirements pertaining to 
veterans and skilled nursing facilities and remove any 
unnecessary, duplicative requirements.

                     MEDICAL SUPPORT AND COMPLIANCE

    The agreement provides $8,403,117,000 in advance for fiscal 
year 2022 for Medical Support and Compliance, with $200,000,000 
available through fiscal year 2023. The agreement provides an 
additional $300,000,000 above the fiscal year 2021 advance 
appropriation for the Medical Support and Compliance account.
    High Reliability Organization.--The agreement does not 
provide funding for the high reliability organization 
initiative as requested in the budget request.

                           MEDICAL FACILITIES

    The agreement provides $6,734,680,000 in advance for fiscal 
year 2022 for Medical Facilities, of which $350,000,000 is made 
available through fiscal year 2023. The agreement provides an 
additional $150,000,000 above the fiscal year 2021 advance 
appropriation for the Medical Facilities account.
    The agreement provides $10,000,000 for women's health and 
mental health non-recurring maintenance (NRM) projects, as 
described in House Report 116-445. 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 directs the 
Department to submit an expenditure plan detailing how the 
planned use of funds will meet the mental health and women's 
health expansion initiatives no later than 90 days after 
enactment of this Act.
    Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Bakersfield, 
California.--The Committees remain concerned about the 
continued delays in leasing a new community-based outpatient 
clinic in Bakersfield and remind the Department of the strict 
directions included in House Report 116-445.
    VA Energy Savings Performance Contract.--The Department is 
strongly encouraged to provide sufficient resources to run the 
Energy Savings Performance Contract and Utility Energy Service 
Contract programs effectively and efficiently to reduce energy 
costs and improve facilities for veterans.
    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 in 10 
years or less.
    ``Planning and Activating Community Based Outpatient 
Clinics'' Handbook.--The Committees remind the Department of 
the reporting requirement directed in Section 252 of Division F 
of Public Law 116-94.

                    MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH

    The agreement provides $815,000,000 for Medical and 
Prosthetic Research, available until September 30, 2022. Bill 
language is included to ensure that the Secretary allocates 
adequate funding for prosthetic research specifically for 
female veterans and for toxic exposures.
    Veteran Access to Clinical Trials and Medical Research.--As 
part of the research best practices report required by House 
Report 116-445, the Department shall include the following 
information for each VAMC: the status of the Office of Research 
and Development research authorization; staffing levels of VAMC 
personnel administratively supporting the VAMC research program 
and personnel conducting research; the number of veterans in 
the service areas; a general characterization of VAMC service 
area (e.g., urban, rural); the total annual appropriation of 
intramural and extramural research funds; the annual 
distribution of Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA) 
research funds; a VERA per veteran metric; the number of 
Veterans participating in VA funded clinical trials; and the 
number of active clinical trials conducted.
    Neural-Enabled Prosthetics.--The Committees understand the 
uniqueness of limb trauma injuries sustained by servicemembers 
in combat and support additional research in this area. 
Traumatic injury or neurological diseases can also 
significantly alter or impair the lifestyle of the individual 
and their caregivers. In lieu of the directive in House Report 
116-445, 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. As the Department 
continues to expand an innovative program of neuroprosthetics 
research, the agreement directs the Department to provide a 
report within 180 days of enactment of this Act to the 
Committees on Appropriations on its efforts and how it will 
continue to expand this research.
    Spinal Cord Research.--The Committees recognize the 
severity of spinal cord injuries sustained by servicemembers in 
combat and supports additional research in this area. The 
Department is encouraged to work with outside organizations on 
spinal cord injury translational research to improve the 
quality of life of impaired and disabled Veterans. Additional 
investment in spinal cord research could yield a long-term cost 
savings to VA through reduced healthcare costs and restore 
functional recovery to paralyzed veterans. In lieu of the 
directive in House Report 116-445, the agreement directs the 
Department to provide a report within 180 days of enactment of 
this Act to the Committees on Appropriations on its efforts to 
expand this research and opportunities to work with outside 
organizations.
    Enewetak Atoll Registry Research.--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.
    Karshi-Khanabad Toxic Exposure Study.--The Committees are 
aware that veterans who served at the Karshi-Khanabad (K2) 
Airbase in Uzbekistan may be reporting unusually high incidents 
of rare cancers. The agreement supports additional analysis and 
research on the linkage between health effects and service at 
K2. VA is encouraged to work with the Agency for Toxic 
Substances and Disease Registry and DOD to collect data, 
research, and analyze any causation or correlation between 
exposure to toxicants at K2 and cancer or other diseases or 
illnesses experienced by veterans who served at K2 between 
October 7, 2001 and November 21, 2005.
    Gulf War Illnesses.--The agreement directs the Department 
to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations no later 
than 180 days after enactment of this Act on the progress of 
research related to the incidence and prevalence of brain 
cancer in Gulf War veterans, and any research related to 
respiratory illnesses experienced by veterans who served in the 
Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan.
    Canine Research.--The agreement maintains the 
Administrative Provision included in Public Law 116-94 related 
to VA animal research. The Department is directed to provide to 
the Committees, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, a 
report outlining their efforts to address each of the 
recommendations in the National Academies of Sciences, 
Engineering, and Medicine report on the Necessity, Use, and 
Care of Laboratory Dogs at the U.S. Department of Veterans 
Affairs.

                    National Cemetery Administration

    The agreement provides $352,000,000 for the National 
Cemetery Administration (NCA). Of the amount provided, up to 10 
percent is available until September 30, 2022. The appropriated 
funding for NCA should be used to maintain existing cemeteries 
and to activate newly completed cemeteries.
    Prisoners of War Headstones.--The Committees emphasize the 
presence of headstones of prisoners of war in Fort Sam Houston 
National Cemetery and Fort Douglas National Cemetery that 
feature swastikas and inscriptions honoring Adolf Hitler is 
extremely disturbing and note the Department has agreed to take 
immediate steps to swiftly replace these headstones with ones 
that do not feature Nazi insignia or inscriptions glorifying 
the Nazi regime. While the Department has initiated a 
consultation process under the National Historic Preservation 
Act, the agreement makes clear that this process should not 
unnecessarily delay the replacement of these headstones. As 
directed in House Report 116-445, VA is required to provide 
monthly reports on the status of the consultation process and 
the timeline for removal of these headstones to the Committees 
on Appropriations. The agreement further directs the Department 
to carefully craft the design and wording of planned signage 
for the gravesites of prisoners of war buried in U.S. 
cemeteries. It should provide the appropriate historical 
context but be sensitive to those most affected by it. The 
agreement therefore continues to direct VA to include details 
on its proposal to provide historical context for headstones of 
prisoners of war in its reports to the Committees on 
Appropriations.
    Rural Cemeteries.--To improve access to cemeteries in rural 
areas, VA is directed to continue efforts to ensure that a 
burial option, including those utilizing public-private 
partnerships, within 75 miles of all Veteran homes is available 
and accessible. NCA Rural Initiative cemeteries help to support 
this goal. VA is directed to assess the potential for permanent 
infrastructure enhancements (e.g., wind screens, restrooms, 
storage facilities) at each Rural Initiative national cemetery 
site, based on location-specific needs, and provide a report to 
the Committees on Appropriations on the findings of this 
assessment no later than 180 days after enactment of this Act. 
VA is encouraged to enter into state, local or private 
partnerships to address the need for additional land and/or 
infrastructure to support and improve cemetery operations and 
committal services at Rural Initiative national cemeteries, as 
appropriate.
    Western New York Cemetery.--In fiscal year 2020, Congress 
appropriated the additional $10,000,000 requested by VA in 
order to complete delivery of the full scope of the Western New 
York National Cemetery as described in the fiscal year 2017 
budget proposal, including a columbarium and burial sites, a 
permanent Honor Guard building, two permanent committal 
shelters, a permanent maintenance complex, Memorial walls, a 
Memorial walkway, a completed loop road and roadways, 
utilities, and fencing/landscaping. As Congress has provided 
the funding requested by VA to complete this project as 
described, VA is expected to deliver the full scope.

Management, any vulnerabilities of its supply chain, and the 
operation and management of the VA All-Hazards Emergency Cache 
program. The report should include recommended additions or 
changes to the legislative authorities to improve VA's response 
capabilities for global pandemics. The Department should 
provide a report on its findings to the Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 180 days after enactment of this 
Act.
    Lobbying Congress.--The agreement reminds the Department 
that lobbying Congress in support of legislation developed by 
VA, and not at the request for technical assistance from 
Congress, is not an appropriate use of taxpayer resources.
    The agreement provides funding for General Administration 
in the amounts specified below:

    The agreement provides $196,000,000 for the Board of 
Veterans Appeals, of which up to 10 percent shall remain 
available until September 30, 2022.

                     INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $4,912,000,000 for the Information 
Technology (IT) Systems account. The agreement includes 
$1,211,238,000 for staff salaries and expenses, $3,205,216,000 
for operation and maintenance of existing programs, and 
$495,546,000 for program development.

                   VETERANS ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD

    The agreement provides $2,627,000,000 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.
    Furthermore, the agreement makes 25 percent of the funds 
contingent upon the Secretary certifying in writing any changes 
to the deployment schedule to the Committees on Appropriations 
of both Houses of Congress within seven days prior to July 1, 
2021.
    Status Updates.--The agreement directs the Department to 
provide a status update to the Committees describing how the 
deployment complies with the requirements of VA's Master Test 
Plan, especially with regard to the status of test findings, 
prior to the deployment of the electronic health record at any 
new site.
    EHRM Initiative.--The agreement includes a substantial 
increase of $1,127,000,000 for the EHRM initiative to support 
the expanded effort of deploying the system at multiple 
facilities in fiscal year 2021. 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. 
Additionally, the agreement directs the Department to provide 
updates on plans and efforts to integrate community care 
providers into the system. Such updates should be submitted 
concurrently with the quarterly reports. Moreover, the 
agreement directs the Department to continue quarterly 
briefings on performance milestones, costs, and progress 
towards or changes to implementation and management plans, and 
directs the Department to provide an accurate up-to-date 
deployment schedule with each quarterly briefing. Should there 
be any deviation from the deployment schedule, the agreement 
directs the Department to formally submit in writing a proposed 
updated deployment schedule within seven days of notification 
of any potential change, and prior to implementation of the 
updated deployment schedule, to the Committees. The Secretary 
is not provided transfer authority 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 2018 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 Committees are pleased that 
the Joint Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization 
Program Office has been established and its leadership 
positions filled.
    Staffing Levels.--The Committees are concerned that 
staffing levels are inadequate at facilities where the 
electronic health record is set to deploy. Therefore, the 
Department is directed to submit a detailed plan to the 
Committees no later than 180 days after enactment of this Act 
to describe how they are ensuring each VHA facility has 
adequate staffing to meet veteran care needs during the go-live 
period of each site.
    Enterprise-wide Planning.--Within nine months of enactment 
of this Act, the agreement directs VA to provide the Committees 
a report detailing the remaining VHA, Veterans EHR, and if 
relevant, Information Technology Systems account funding that 
will be required to fulfill the EHRM infrastructure needs 
through the end of nationwide deployment as well as a schedule 
for the execution of supporting infrastructure projects. The 
information in this report should be broken down on a facility-
by-facility basis, even if based on preliminary estimates.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

    The agreement provides $228,000,000 for the Office of 
Inspector General. Of the amount provided, up to 10 percent is 
available for obligation until September 30, 2022.
    VHA Staffing Model.--The agreement directs the Office of 
Inspector General to review VHA's progress in developing its 
comprehensive staffing model, including the timeline for 
implementation.

                      CONSTRUCTION, MAJOR PROJECTS

    The agreement provides $1,316,000,000 for Construction, 
Major Projects. The agreement makes this funding available for 
five years, except that $335,362,000 is made available until 
expended, of which $180,198,000 shall be available for seismic 
improvement projects.
    Reuse of Former Departmental Land.--When Department 
property is transferred to state, local, or other entities, VA 
should make reasonable efforts to prepare the property so that 
local communities can reuse such property without an 
unreasonable financial burden being placed on local taxpayers. 
The Department is encouraged to use existing resources to 
properly prepare VA land slated for disposal, including through 
the demolition of buildings that have exceeded their service 
life and are unsafe.
    The agreement funds the following items requested in the 
budget submission:

                            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 maintenance and infrastructure program, including the 
interpretive program. The additional funds will allow ABMC to 
not only 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.--In P.L. 115-244, 
Congress provided additional funding to ABMC to address 
priority infrastructure projects, which was allocated in part 
towards the construction of the Honolulu interpretive center at 
the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. ABMC has 
completed the draft report on its study of three potential 
sites for the interpretive center and is awaiting stakeholder 
feedback, including from the National Cemetery Administration. 
The agreement urges ABMC to provide its final report to 
Congress by the end of the calendar year.

    The agreement provides such sums as necessary for the 
Foreign Currency Fluctuations Account.

           United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement provides $37,100,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses for the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans

                       Cemeterial Expenses, Army


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The agreement provides $81,815,000 for Cemeterial Expenses, 
Army--Salaries and Expenses. This amount is $1,015,000 above 
the fiscal year 2020 enacted level and $11,015,000 above the 
budget request. Within that amount, up to $15,000,000 in 
funding is available until September 30, 2023.
    The agreement reiterates that it is unacceptable that 
Arlington National Cemetery's budget requests are continually 
inadequate to maintain the current level of services. Budget 
requests that do not reflect real needs are having a 
deleterious effect on the Cemetery's performance and ability to 
meet its mission. The Cemetery cannot be under-resourced, and 
accordingly, the agreement provides an increase in funds over 
the budget request to correct this deficiency.
    This agreement reflects unwavering support for the Cemetery

under a new bilateral agreement governing the terms and

reimbursed, by the foreign government, and the Secretary of 
State and the Administrator of the United States Agency for 
International Development shall expeditiously seek to negotiate 
amendments to existing bilateral agreements, as necessary, to 
conform with this requirement.
  (b) Notification and Reimbursement of Foreign Taxes.--An 
amount equivalent to 200 percent of the total taxes assessed 
during fiscal year 2021 on funds appropriated by this Act and 
prior Acts making appropriations for the Department of State, 
foreign operations, and related programs by a foreign 
government or entity against United States assistance programs, 
either directly or through grantees, contractors, and 
subcontractors, shall be withheld from obligation from funds 
appropriated for assistance for fiscal year 2022 and for prior

reimbursement of such taxes, and that can reasonably 
accommodate such assistance in a programmatically responsible 
manner.
  (e) Determinations.--
          (1) In general.--The provisions of this section shall 
        not apply to any foreign government or entity that 
        assesses such taxes if the Secretary of State reports 
        to the Committees on Appropriations that--
                  (A) such foreign government or entity has an 
                effective arrangement that is providing 
                substantial reimbursement of such taxes; or
                  (B) the foreign policy interests of the 
                United States outweigh the purpose of this 
                section to ensure that United States assistance 
                is not subject to taxation.
          (2) Consultation.--The Secretary of State shall 
        consult with the Committees on Appropriations at least

        entity.
  (f) Implementation.--The Secretary of State shall issue and 
update rules, regulations, or policy guidance, as appropriate, 
to implement the prohibition against the taxation of assistance 
contained in this section.
  (g) Definitions.--As used in this section:
          (1) Bilateral agreement.--The term ``bilateral 
        agreement'' refers to a framework bilateral agreement 
        between the Government of the United States and the 
        government of the country receiving assistance that 
        describes the privileges and immunities applicable to 
        United States foreign assistance for such country 
        generally, or an individual agreement between the 
        Government of the United States and such government 
        that describes, among other things, the treatment for 
        tax purposes that will be accorded the United States 
        assistance provided under that agreement.
          (2) Taxes and taxation.--The term ``taxes and 
        taxation'' shall include value added taxes and customs 
        duties but shall not include individual income taxes 
        assessed to local staff.

reprogramming shall be subject to the regular notification 
procedures of the Committees on Appropriations:  Provided 
further, That assistance that is reprogrammed pursuant to this 
subsection shall be made available under the same terms and 
conditions as originally provided.

contained in subsection (a), the original period of 
availability of funds appropriated by this Act and administered 
by the Department of State or the United States Agency for 
International Development that are specifically designated for 
particular programs or activities by this or any other Act may 
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 
availability:  Provided, That such designated funds that 
continue to be available for an additional fiscal year shall be 
obligated only for the purpose of such designation.
  (c) Other Acts.--Ceilings and specifically designated funding 
levels contained in this Act shall not be applicable to funds

                     arab league boycott of israel

  Sec. 7036.  It is the sense of the Congress that--
          (1) the Arab League boycott of Israel, and the 
        secondary boycott of American firms that have 
        commercial ties with Israel, is an impediment to peace 
        in the region and to United States investment and trade 
        in the Middle East and North Africa;
          (2) the Arab League boycott, which was regrettably 
        reinstated in 1997, should be immediately and publicly 
        terminated, and the Central Office for the Boycott of 
        Israel immediately disbanded;
          (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 
        that do comply.

        other countries in the region to vigorously pursue 
        efforts to establish a just, lasting, and comprehensive 
        peace in the Middle East that will enable Israel and an 
        independent Palestinian state to exist within the

                               TITLE VIII

      NITA M. LOWEY MIDDLE EAST PARTNERSHIP FOR PEACE ACT OF 2020

                              short title

  Sec. 8001.  This title may be cited as the ``Nita M. Lowey 
Middle East Partnership for Peace Act of 2020''.

                                findings

  Sec. 8002.  Congress finds the following:
          (1) Economic development in conflict settings has 
        been shown to support stabilization by empowering 
        entrepreneurs, growing the middle class, and mitigating 
        unemployment.
          (2) In 2018, unemployment in the Palestinian 
        territories was 32.4 percent. Gross Domestic Product 
        (GDP) growth in the Palestinian territories declined 
        from 2017 to 2019, and it is projected to further 
        decline in 2020.
          (3) According to the World Bank Ad Hoc Liaison 
        Committee's April 2019 Economic Monitoring Report, ``to 
        achieve sustainable economic growth, in the Palestinian 
        territories, growth and job creation going forward will 
        need to be private sector driven''.
          (4) According to the 2018 Joint Strategic Plan of the 
        Department of State and the United States Agency for 
        International Development, ``assistance can help 
        prevent new recruitment to terrorist organizations, 
        reduce levels of violence, promote legitimate 
        governance structures that strengthen inclusion, and 
        reduce policies that marginalize communities''.
          (5) Although economic development is an important 
        tool for stabilizing conflict-prone settings and 
        establishing connections between communities, economic 
        development by itself will not lead to lasting peace. 
        People-to-people peace-building programs further 
        advance reconciliation efforts by promoting greater 
        understanding, mutual trust, and cooperation between 
        communities.
          (6) While the United States and its international 
        partners continue to support diplomatic and political 
        negotiations between the representatives of the parties 
        to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such efforts 
        require broad popular support among the people on the 
        ground to succeed.
          (7) Achieving sustainable, high-level agreements for 
        lasting peace in the Middle East must come through, and 
        with the support of, the people who live there, and the 
        United States and its international partners can help 
        the people of the region build popular support for 
        sustainable agreements for lasting peace.

                           sense of congress

  Sec. 8003.  It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) building a viable Palestinian economy is central 
        to the effort to preserve the possibility of a 
        negotiated settlement leading to a sustainable two-

DIVISION K--DEPARTMENT OF STATE, FOREIGN OPERATIONS, AND RELATED 
        PROGRAMS APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021

    The explanatory statement accompanying this division is 
approved and indicates congressional intent. 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. 
116-444 (House report) accompanying H.R. 7608 and incorporated 
by reference by section 3(a) in the matter preceding division A 
of H.R. 7608 (House bill) as though stated in this explanatory 
statement, unless specifically directed to the contrary.
    This explanatory statement, while repeating some House 
report language for emphasis or clarification, does not negate 
language in such report unless expressly provided herein. 
Language expressing an opinion or making an observation in the 
House report represents the view of the House committee unless 
specifically endorsed in this explanatory statement.
    Reports required to be submitted pursuant to the Act, 
including reports required by this explanatory statement and 
the House report, may not be consolidated to include responses 
to multiple requirements in a single report, except following 
consultation with the Committees on Appropriations.
    Similar to prior fiscal years, a portion of funding 
appropriated by the Act is designated as Overseas Contingency 
Operations/Global War on Terrorism (OCO/GWOT) pursuant to the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 
(BBEDCA). The Act does not contain or establish a regional 
limitation on the use of OCO/GWOT funding.
    For purposes of this explanatory statement, the term ``the 
Act'' means the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2021, and the term ``prior 
Acts'' means prior Acts making appropriations for the 
Department of State, foreign operations, and related programs. 
In addition, ``division G of Public Law 116-94'' means the 
Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 2020; ``division F of Public Law 116-6'' 
means the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act, 2019; ``division K of Public Law 
115-141'' means the Department of State, Foreign Operations, 
and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2018; ``division J of 
Public Law 115-31'' means the Department of State, Foreign 
Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2017; and 
``division K of Public Law 113-76'' means the Department of 
State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations 
Act, 2014.
    For purposes of the Act and this explanatory statement, the 
term ``subject to the regular notification procedures of the 
Committees on Appropriations'' means such Committees are 
notified not less than 15 days prior to the obligation of funds 
or other action that is the subject of the notification 
requirement, regardless of what may be contained in an agency's 
congressional budget justification (CBJ) or in the operating 
and spend plans required by section 7061 of the Act. Operating 
plans, spend plans, and CBJs do not suffice as justification 
for purposes of satisfying such notification requirement.
    Federal agencies funded by the Act shall notify the 
Committees on Appropriations of any reprogramming, as required 
by section 7015 of the Act, at the most detailed level of the 
CBJ, the Act, or this explanatory statement.
    Congressional notifications submitted by the heads of the 
Federal agencies funded 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.
    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 (653(a) 
report), where applicable. In lieu of the tables and 
allocations of funding contained in the House report, the 
tables and allocations contained in this explanatory statement 
shall guide departments, agencies, commissions, and other 
entities when allocating funds. The Act provides that the 
amounts designated in the tables shall be made available 
notwithstanding the date of the transmission of the 653(a) 
report.
    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 in 
the Act or this explanatory statement.
    The Secretary of State and the Administrator of the United 
States Agency for International Development (USAID) shall 
continue to provide the Committees on Appropriations electronic 
copies of all reports, notifications, spend plans, and any 
other documents required by the Act, prior Acts, this and prior 
explanatory statements and statements of managers, the House 
report, and prior reports.
    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 such Committees are given a 
meaningful opportunity to provide facts and opinions, in 
advance of any public announcement, 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. Additionally, section 
7020 of the Act includes specific requirements regarding multi-
year pledges.
    The Secretary of State and USAID Administrator, as 
appropriate, shall inform the Committees on Appropriations on 
the use of notwithstanding authority, including detailed 
information on the provisions of law being notwithstood and a 
justification for the use of such authority, in the submission 
of any congressional notification required by the Act. If it 
becomes necessary to rely on notwithstanding authority 
subsequent to a notification of assistance, the Committees on 
Appropriations shall be informed at the earliest opportunity 
and to the extent practicable. Notwithstanding authority 
included in any provision of the Act shall not be construed to 
exclude the requirements of such provision.
    The Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 (5 U.S.C. 551 et 
seq.) has, at times, been loosely interpreted by the Department 
of State when using an exception to the publishing of a 
proposed rulemaking related to a function of foreign affairs. 
The exception should only be used if public rulemaking 
provisions would clearly provoke definitive undesirable 
international consequences.
    Any Federal agency receiving funds made available by the 
Act shall post on its publicly available website any report 
required by the Act to be submitted to the appropriate 
congressional committees, upon a determination by the head of 
the agency that to do so is in the national interest. This 
directive shall not apply if: (1) the public posting of the 
report would compromise national security, including the 
conduct of diplomacy; (2) the report contains proprietary, 
privileged, or sensitive information; or (3) the agency is 
already directed to publicly post such report by another 
provision of law or regulation.
    The head of an agency posting such report shall, unless 
directed otherwise by the Act or any other provision of law or 
regulation, do so only after such report has been made 
available to the Committees on Appropriations for not less than 
30 days. Any report required to be submitted to such Committees 
shall include information from the submitting agency on whether 
such report will be publicly posted.
    For purposes of the Act and this explanatory statement, the 
term ``stabilization assistance'' has the same meaning as 
defined by the Stabilization Assistance Review in A Framework 
for Maximizing the Effectiveness of United States Government 
Efforts to Stabilize Conflict-Affected Areas, 2018.
    The Secretary of State shall update the report required 
under the Monitoring and Evaluation heading in Senate Report 
114-90 and submit such report to the Committees on 
Appropriations in the manner described.
    Consistent with prior fiscal years, none of the funds made 
available by the Act may be used to send or otherwise pay for 
the attendance of more than 50 employees of Federal agencies 
who are stationed in the United States at any single 
international conference occurring outside the United States, 
unless the Secretary of State reports to the appropriate 
congressional committees at least 5 days in advance that such 
attendance is important to the national interest. For purposes 
of this restriction, the term ``international conference'' 
means a conference attended by representatives of the United 
States Government and of foreign governments, international 
organizations, or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
    Federal agencies funded by the Act shall not provide 
bonuses to government contractors who fail to complete their 
contract in a satisfactory manner, including as a result of 
avoidable scheduling delays or cost overruns.

        determined by the Secretary, and to avoid or reduce the

        as determined by the Secretary, would otherwise be

  Sec. 212.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in

programs, the Secretary shall maintain any rental assistance 
payments under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 
1937 and other programs that are attached to any dwelling units 
in the property. To the extent the Secretary determines, in 
consultation with the tenants and the local government that 
such a multifamily property owned or having a mortgage held by 
the Secretary is not feasible for continued rental assistance 
payments under such section 8 or other programs, based on 
consideration of (1) the costs of rehabilitating and operating 
the property and all available Federal, State, and local 
resources, including rent adjustments under section 524 of the 
Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 
1997 (``MAHRAA'') (42 U.S.C. 1437f note), and (2) environmental 
conditions that cannot be remedied in a cost-effective fashion, 
the Secretary may, in consultation with the tenants of that 
property, contract for project-based rental assistance payments 
with an owner or owners of other existing housing properties, 
or provide other rental assistance. The Secretary shall also 
take appropriate steps to ensure that project-based contracts 
remain in effect prior to foreclosure, subject to the exercise 
of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation of 
tenants for imminent major threats to health and safety after 
written notice to and informed consent of the affected tenants 
and use of other available remedies, such as partial abatements 
or receivership. After disposition of any multifamily property 
described in 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 in

sections 9(d) and 9(e) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 
(42 U.S.C. 1437g(d),(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 paragraph (1) or (2) of 
section 9(g) 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 paragraph (1) or (2) of section 
9(g).
  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 shall, for fiscal year 2021, 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 
2021, the Secretary may make the NOFA available only on the 
Internet at the appropriate Government website 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.
  Sec. 218.  The Secretary is authorized to transfer up to 10 
percent or $5,000,000, whichever is less, of funds appropriated

such headings:  Provided, That no appropriation for any such 
office under such headings 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 
payments shall maintain decent, safe, and sanitary conditions, 
as determined by 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 contract under section 8 
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) or a 
contract for similar project-based assistance--
          (1) receives a Uniform Physical Condition Standards 
        (UPCS) score of 60 or less; or

        within 3 days that all Exigent Health and Safety

        have been corrected.
Such requirements shall apply to insured and noninsured 
projects with assistance attached to the units under section 8 
of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f), but 
shall not apply to such units assisted under section 8(o)(13) 
of such Act (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(13)) or to public housing units 
assisted with capital or operating funds under section 9 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g).

provide the owner with a Notice of Default with a specified

deficiencies. The Secretary shall provide a copy of the Notice 
of Default to the tenants, the local government, any 
mortgagees, and any contract administrator. If the owner's 
appeal results in a UPCS score of 60 or above, the Secretary 
may withdraw the Notice of Default.
  (2) At the end of the time period for correcting all 
deficiencies specified in the Notice of Default, if the owner 
fails to fully correct such deficiencies, the Secretary may--
          (A) require immediate replacement of project 
        management with a management agent approved by the 
        Secretary;
          (B) impose civil money penalties, which shall be used 
        solely for the purpose of supporting safe and sanitary 
        conditions at applicable properties, as designated by 
        the Secretary, with priority given to the tenants of 
        the property affected by the penalty;
          (C) abate the section 8 contract, including partial 
        abatement, as determined by the Secretary, until all 
        deficiencies have been corrected;
          (D) pursue transfer of the project to an owner, 
        approved by the Secretary under established procedures, 
        who will be obligated to promptly make all required 
        repairs and to accept renewal of the assistance 
        contract if such renewal is offered;
          (E) transfer the existing section 8 contract to

        third-party that requires time to effectuate; or
          (I) take any other regulatory or contractual remedies 
        available as deemed necessary and appropriate by the

exercise of contractual abatement remedies to assist relocation 
of tenants for major threats to health and safety after written 
notice to the affected tenants. To the extent the Secretary 
determines, in consultation with the tenants and the local 
government, that the property is not feasible for continued 
rental assistance payments under such section 8 or other

        property and all available Federal, State, and local

        Affordability Act of 1997 (``MAHRAA''); and

    NextGen separation management portfolio.--The agreement 
includes $21,200,000. The FAA should evaluate the human factors 
and technical approach of the multi-platform ATC re-hosting 
solution (MARS) platform.
    Enterprise, concept development, human factors, and 
demonstration portfolio.--The agreement includes not less than 
$6,000,000 and up to $9,000,000 to continue the implementation 
of the remote tower pilot program authorized in section 161 of 
the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-254). The 
FAA is directed to equitably distribute resources to assess and 
certify these systems between each remote tower location and to 
support the inclusion of additional remote towers to the pilot 
program as appropriate.
    Terminal air traffic control facilities replace.--The 
agreement directs the FAA to work to address aging and 
antiquated air traffic control facilities that it leases from 
airport authorities to ensure they are fully compliant with 
current building codes consistent with being occupied by air 
traffic controllers, and directs the FAA to consider creative 
financing options and to include consideration of long-term 
cost recovery leases, when conditions warrant the construction 
of new air traffic control towers.
    Terminal and en route surveillance portfolio.--The 
agreement includes $78,600,000, including $3,100,000 for 
airport surveillance radar (ASR)-8 sustainment, and directs the 
FAA to work to address airports concerns with existing ASR-8 
radar systems interference with surrounding topography and 
local economic development, and to incorporate the potential 
needs for radar relocation into its ongoing ASR-8 technology 
refresh program.
    Instrument landing systems (ILS).--The agreement includes 
$10,000,000 for the procurement and installation of ILS 
services. The agreement directs the FAA to accelerate the 
installation and commissioning of ILS systems, utilizing 
established contractors to augment FAA resources, if necessary.
    Time division multiplexing (TDM) to internet protocol (IP) 
migration.--The FAA must invest in new broadband/carrier 
ethernet technology where cost-effective and available to 
replace low speed TDM service in order to sustain NAS 
operations. In addition, the FAA must modernize its systems to 
utilize IP technology to take advantage of a modern broadband/
carrier ethernet based network and reduce dependence on TDM 
technology.
    Central Appalachia.--The agreement requests FAA to review 
air navigation needs in Central Appalachia and the potential 
benefits of transponder landing system (TLS), or similar 
technologies to enhance safety and efficiency in the region.

                       Public and Indian Housing


                     TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE

    The bill provides $25,777,439,000 for all tenant-based 
Section 8 activities under the tenant-based rental assistance 
account, to remain available until expended.
    The bill includes $23,080,000,000 for the renewal of 
tenant-based vouchers. This amount includes funding to renew 
veterans affairs supportive housing (VASH) vouchers funded in 
prior years and the bill includes an additional $40,000,000 for 
new incremental VASH vouchers. The renewal amount also includes 
up to $5,000,000 for the Tribal HUD-VASH demonstration program.
    The bill provides $43,439,000 in new incremental vouchers 
to reduce homelessness among families with children, the 
unsheltered, veterans, and survivors of domestic violence.
    In addition to the $116,000,000 that the bill provides for 
tenant protection vouchers (TPVs), the account has $60,000,000 
in available carryover funds which makes a total of 
$176,000,000 available for TPVs in fiscal year 2021.
    HUD-VASH.--The agreement directs HUD to consult with the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to determine how PHAs can 
become designated entities to screen for veteran eligibility 
and make referrals for the HUD-VASH program. The Department is 
further directed to use its existing authority to specify 
alternative requirements to permit PHAs to use unleased HUD-
VASH vouchers to house VA-eligible homeless veterans, even if 
they have not received a referral from the VA. PHAs utilizing 
this new authority must adhere to the following requirements: 
the PHA must determine that a veteran it seeks to house is 
eligible for VA services under the HUD-VASH program; the PHA 
must refer the veteran to the VA for case management and 
services; the PHA must provide, on a temporary basis until the 
VA Medical Center has completed intake of the veteran, 
appropriate case management and supportive services; and the 
PHA must ensure that while using unleased HUD-VASH vouchers, it 
has sufficient HUD-VASH vouchers available to immediately issue 
a HUD-VASH voucher to veterans referred by the VA. HUD is also 
directed to within 180 days of enactment of this Act report to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its 
progress to implement the alternative requirements for the HUD-
VASH program and its effect on voucher utilization.
    To ensure all funds directed to the HUD-VASH program are 
accounted for and used efficiently, the agreement directs HUD 
to make public the need for additional funding and reasons for 
unused funds, which should also include an evaluation of the 
effectiveness of the program and distribution of resources. The 
agreement encourages the Department to use existing authority 
to recapture HUD-VASH voucher assistance from PHAs that 
voluntarily declare they no longer have a need for the 
assistance, and to reallocate it to PHAs with an identified 
need. The agreement directs HUD to submit a report to the House 
and Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, 
Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies and the 
Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and 
Related Agencies within 120 days of enactment of this Act on 
methods to reallocate unused HUD-VASH vouchers, which shall 
include a determination of the feasibility of issuing a new 
solicitation of participation for unallocated HUD-VASH 
vouchers.
    The Department is encouraged to prioritize, as part of this 
reallocation, PHAs that project-base a portion of their HUD-
VASH vouchers.
    TPVs for victims of domestic violence.--The agreement 
reminds HUD of the importance of submitting to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations the report required by the 
Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 on HUD's efforts 
to consult with PHAs, other covered housing providers, and 
advocates on how TPVs can be administered to HUD-assisted 
tenants seeking emergency transfers under the Violence Against 
Women Act (VAWA) and operationalized.
    Landlord participation.--The agreement directs HUD, as part 
of its landlord task force, to provide guidance and best 
practices to PHAs on how to use their authority under the 
Section 8 housing choice voucher administrative fees program to 
incentivize landlords to accept more housing voucher 
recipients.
    Regional approaches to administering vouchers.--To ensure 
the efficient use of housing choice vouchers that are made 
available upon turnover, the agreement encourages HUD to 
provide PHAs with technical assistance on how the industry can 
leverage regional approaches to administering vouchers across 
multiple PHAs and improve coordination of voucher portability 
within regions.
    Local coordination.--The agreement directs the Department 
to evaluate how PHAs can work with local code enforcement 
agencies to improve collaboration with units of local 
government to monitor and address health and safety conditions 
in Section 8 voucher units.

                        HOUSING CERTIFICATE FUND

                        (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

    The agreement includes language allowing unobligated 
balances in the housing certificate fund to be used for the 
renewal of or amendments to section 8 project-based contracts 
and for performance-based contract administrators.

                          PUBLIC HOUSING FUND

    The bill provides $7,806,000,000 for the public housing 
fund, to remain available until September 30, 2024.
    The agreement consolidates the public housing operating 
fund and public housing capital fund accounts into a single 
public housing fund. This account consolidation brings the 
funding of the public housing program in line with the other 
rental assistance programs of HUD, which are all funded through 
a single account. The agreement does not permit additional 
flexibility between operating and capital activities beyond 
those flexibilities that are already statutorily permitted.
    Within the total, the bill provides $4,839,000,000 for the 
public housing operating fund for 2021 payments and an 
additional $25,000,000 is for a need-based allocation to PHAs 
that experience or are at risk of financial shortfalls. Within 
the total, the bill provides $2,765,000,000 for allocations to 
PHAs through the capital fund formula.
    The bill includes $23,000,000 for public housing financial 
and physical assessment activities; $15,000,000 for 
administrative and judicial receiverships; $75,000,000 for 
emergency capital needs, of which $45,000,000 shall be for PHAs 
under receivership or under the control of a federal monitor, 
which shall be awarded based on need and shall not be subject 
to a cap on individual grant award amounts and, of which not 
less than $10,000,000 is for safety and security measures; and 
$60,000,000 for competitive grants to public housing agencies 
to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards and other 
hazards, such as carbon monoxide and mold in public housing, of 
which $25,000,000 is specifically for lead hazards. The bill 
also provides $4,000,000 for a new radon testing and mitigation 
resident safety demonstration program. The agreement provides 
that all PHAs, including those that are troubled, substandard, 
or are under the direction of HUD, a monitor, or a court-
appointed receiver are eligible for funding for competitive 
grants for both lead-based paint hazards and other hazards 
under the public housing healthy homes initiative, such as 
carbon monoxide, mold, and radon.
    Recycling and Zero Waste Pilot Program.--The agreement does 
not include funding for the Recycling and Zero Waste Pilot 
Program included in House Report 116-452. Instead, the 
Agreement directs HUD to evaluate methods of supporting and 
expanding recycling and zero-waste programs in public housing 
and to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 180 days after enactment of this 
Act on those efforts.
    Environmental hazards.--The agreement reminds the 
Department that the intent of the public housing environmental 
hazards set-aside funding, which includes lead-based paint 
hazard reduction and healthy homes initiative activities, is to 
help PHAs come into compliance with Federal statutes and 
regulations in order to improve the living conditions of public 
housing residents. HUD is prohibited from deeming any PHA, 
including those that are troubled, substandard, or are under 
the direction of HUD, a monitor, or a court-appointed receiver, 
to be ineligible to apply for or receive funding made available 
under this heading for lead-based paint hazards and public 
housing activities under the healthy homes initiative set-
asides, provided the agency is in compliance with any current 
memorandum of agreement or recovery agreements. The agreement 
also prohibits HUD from deeming any PHA as ineligible to apply 
for or receive funding if it has a violation or violations of 
the Lead Safe Housing or Lead Disclosure Rules and presents 
documentation establishing it is working in good faith to 
resolve such findings by meeting any deadlines it was required 
to reach under the terms of a settlement agreement, consent 
decree, voluntary agreement, or similar document as of the date 
of application. The agreement further prohibits HUD from 
precluding funds from being used to carryout work to settle an 
outstanding violation. The agreement expects HUD to work with 
PHAs to ensure that the initiative reflects the unique needs of 
the industry and strongly encourages the Department to work 
with PHAs, their maintenance staff, and tenants to help ensure 
potential lead-based paint risks are identified and addressed 
expeditiously.
    HUD's oversight of the physical condition of the Nation's 
public housing stock lacks standard guidance and best practices 
for PHAs. As such the agreement directs PIH to continue to work 
with the OLHCHH to develop guidance and conduct webinars on 
effective solutions to address mold, carbon monoxide, radon, 
and other environmental hazards in public housing during fiscal 
year 2021.
    Administrative and judicial receiverships.--For fiscal year 
2021, the agreement directs HUD to report quarterly to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the status of 
PHAs under receivership, including factors that informed the 
receivership such as physical and financial scores, 
deficiencies with internal controls, and other information 
demonstrating each PHA's inability to effectively oversee their 
business operations. This report shall also include an 
identification of funding resources and technical assistance 
provided to each PHA for the purpose of transitioning out of 
receivership and how HUD will address deficiencies in an effort 
to return the respective PHAs to local control.
    Physical and financial assessments.--The agreement directs 
HUD to submit to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this Act a report 
on real estate assessment center (REAC) inspections of all HUD 
assisted and/or insured properties. This report shall include: 
the percentage of all inspected properties that received a 
REAC-inspected score of less than 65 since calendar year 2013; 
the number of properties in which the most recent REAC-
inspected score represented a decline relative to the previous 
REAC score; a list of the ten metropolitan statistical areas 
with the lowest average REAC-inspected scores for all inspected 
properties; and a list of the ten states with the lowest 
average REAC-inspected scores for all inspected properties.
    The Committee expects the Department to build on the 
Uniform Physical Condition Standards for Vouchers (UPCS-V) 
inspection design for the housing choice voucher program to 
inform the broad application of National Standards for the 
Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) to all PHAs in 
order to reduce their costs and administrative burdens.
    The agreement directs HUD to submit to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations 30 days after enactment of this 
Act, a report identifying how funds provided for REAC, 
including any carryover balances, will be utilized during 
fiscal year 2021.
    Quality assurance of physical inspections.--The agreement 
directs HUD to update the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations quarterly during fiscal year 2021 on its 
progress to implement the 14 recommendations in the GAO-19-254 
report and 8 recommendations to enhance and improve the 
inspection process made by the 2017 internal HUD taskforce.
    ConnectHome.--The agreement encourages HUD to continue to 
partner with foundations, nonprofit organizations, and other 
relevant stakeholders to help identify ways residents living in 
public housing can connect to broadband infrastructure through 
technical assistance and digital literacy training, and to work 
with its partners to take steps to expand the number of 
participating communities.
    Emergency and safety and security grants.--The agreement 
includes $75,000,000 for emergency capital needs, including 
safety and security measures in public housing in order to 
protect tenants. The agreement directs the Department to fund 
eligible safety and security projects with a portion of these 
funds as quickly as possible. Of the $45,000,000 for PHAs under 
receivership or under the control of a Federal monitor, the 
agreement directs HUD to award these funds based on need and 
not be subject to a cap on individual grant award amounts.
    Shortfall funding.--The agreement includes $25,000,000 to 
mitigate the risk of financial shortfalls among PHAs and 
directs that the allocation of these funds shall first be 
prioritized to PHAs with 249 or fewer public housing units that 
are determined to be experiencing shortfalls and have less than 
one-month of reserves before allocating funds to larger PHAs. 
The agreement recognizes that PHAs in special circumstances, 
such as those undergoing rental assistance demonstration (RAD) 
conversions or utilizing flexibilities, are subject to 
temporary fluctuations in operating expenses and may not be 
experiencing true financial shortfall situations and directs 
HUD to take these special circumstances into account 
determining the allocation of funding.
    Public housing agency accreditation.--The Department is 
encouraged to explore the feasibility of a partnership between 
HUD and one or more entities that provide accreditation 
services to PHAs. Such entities would be nonprofit 
organizations that have developed standards for, and are 
experienced with, accrediting affordable housing organizations, 
including PHAs, and promoting best practices to implement a 
national accreditation process for affordable housing 
organizations. Such accreditation would include an evaluation 
of a PHA's operations, policies, procedures, practices, 
communications, and relationships with residents and 
stakeholders. The agreement directs HUD to report to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 240 days of 
enactment of this Act on the feasibility of such partnerships.

                    CHOICE NEIGHBORHOODS INITIATIVE

    The bill provides $200,000,000 for the choice neighborhoods 
initiative, to remain available until September 30, 2023. Of 
this amount, not less than $100,000,000 shall be made available 
to PHAs, and no more than $5,000,000 is available for planning 
grants.
    The agreement directs the Secretary to give prior year 
planning grants priority consideration for implementation grant 
awards.

                       SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAMS

    The agreement provides $155,000,000 for self-sufficiency 
programs, to remain available until September 30, 2024. Of the 
amount provided, $105,000,000 is for the family self-
sufficiency program (FSS), $35,000,000 is for the resident 
opportunity and self-sufficiency program (ROSS), and 
$15,000,000 is for the jobs plus initiative.
    Family Self-Sufficiency Program.--The agreement does not 
include the directives in House Report 116-452 related to P.L. 
115-174, requiring HUD to release related regulations, or 
expanding FSS grant eligibility to project-based section 8 
properties. The agreement directs HUD to prioritize the renewal 
of all existing FSS coordinators.
    The agreement directs HUD to use PIH Information Center 
data from the 12-month period immediately preceding the 
issuance of the FSS NOFA when calculating the number of new or 
additional FSS coordinators for which a PHA is eligible to 
apply.
    For new families enrolling in the FSS program in fiscal 
year 2021, the agreement directs that the income and rent 
amounts to be used in the ``Program Contract of Participation'' 
shall be taken from the amounts on the last re-examination or 
interim determination before the family's initial participation 
in the FSS program. The agreement further directs HUD to 
include in its annual budget submission to Congress data 
showing FSS participation, escrow accumulation, and graduation 
rates for the FSS program, including data from participating 
entities without coordinator grants.
    The agreement further directs HUD to continue developing 
appropriate performance measures that will enable the 
Department to promote best practices across local programs and 
maximize the number of families that achieve self-sufficiency. 
These metrics should take into account factors including that 
include program size, geographic location, and the varied 
eligible activities of the FSS program. The agreement directs 
the Department to update the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on its progress within 180 days of enactment of 
this Act.

                        NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAMS

    Competitive grants.--For the $100,000,000 in competitive 
grants, HUD staff is directed to review and score each 
application in its entirety. Each fiscal year appropriation 
shall be administered as a stand-alone competition and may not 
be combined with prior or future year appropriations, although 
any remaining balances from the fiscal year 2020 competition 
may be included in the fiscal year 2021 competition. Applicants 
should be required to meet a threshold of capacity, but the 
competition should not provide additional points for capacity 
above and beyond what is needed to successfully administer 
these grants.
    Coordinated environmental reviews for tribal housing and 
related infrastructure.--The agreement directs HUD to continue 
its efforts to collaborate with its Federal agency partners to 
develop a coordinated environmental review process to simplify 
and streamline tribal housing development and its related 
infrastructure needs in order to eliminate unnecessary Federal 
barriers to housing development in tribal communities while 
also balancing the need to ensure appropriate and necessary 
environmental protections. HUD is expected to provide routine 
reports to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
task force meetings, action items, goals, and recommendations.

           INDIAN HOUSING LOAN GUARANTEE FUND PROGRAM ACCOUNT

    The bill provides $1,500,000 for the cost of guaranteed 
loans, to remain available until expended. The bill provides an 
additional $500,000 for administrative contract expenses to

This report shall include how HUD has or will address the 
oversight, performance assessment, and reporting deficiencies 
identified in GAO report 18-394. The report should also include 
the feasibility and estimated costs of incorporating a lead 
risk assessment or lead hazard screen into HCV units' Housing 
Quality Standards inspection process while preserving rental

guarantee program.
    The agreement directs HUD to submit a performance plan 
prior to obligating more than 10 percent of its fiscal year
