                              Clerk's Note

    This committee print provides a compilation of the enacted 
text and applicable explanatory material for the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2022 (H.R. 2471, P.L. 117-103).
    The Act consists of 12 divisions related to regular annual 
Appropriations matters (divisions A through L). Division N 
contains the Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, 
which provides supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 
2022. The Act also includes 20 additional divisions largely 
unrelated to appropriations matters (divisions 0 through HH). 
This compilation includes only the 12 divisions related to 
regular appropriations matters (A-L). It also includes the 
front section of the Act, which contains provisions applicable 
to the entire Act. (The bill's table of contents lists a 
division M that was removed from the measure prior to 
enactment.)
    Divisions A through L are the products of negotiations 
between the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on final 
fiscal year 2022 appropriations for all 12 annual 
appropriations bills.
    The legislative text was submitted by Chair Rosa L. DeLauro 
of the House Committee on Appropriations as a House amendment 
to the Senate amendment to an unrelated bill pending in the 
House, H.R. 2471. The House agreed to the measure on March 9, 
2022. The Senate agreed to the measure on March 10, 2022.\1\ 
The President signed the legislation on March 15, 2022 and it 
became Public Law 117-103.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ The House agreed to the amendment in two parts, first by a vote 
of 361-69 (Roll Call No. 65) on divisions B, C, F, X, Z, and titles II 
and III of division N, and then on the remaining divisions by a vote of 
260-171, 1 present (Roll Call No. 66). The Senate agreed to the 
amendment by a vote of 68-31 (Record Vote No. 78).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    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. 2471. An Explanatory Statement relating to the House 
amendment to H.R. 2471 was filed by Chair DeLauro in the 
Congressional Record on March 9, 2022.\2\ Section 4 of the Act 
provides that this Explanatory Statement ``shall have the same 
effect with respect to the allocation of funds and 
implementation of divisions A through L of this Act as if it 
were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of 
conference.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\ The Explanatory Statement appears in Books III and IV of the 
March 9, 2022 Congressional Record. (See pages H1709-H3215.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    For the convenience of users, the legislative text of each 
appropriations division is paired with the applicable section 
of the Explanatory Statement.

                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. 2471, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022.\1\]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ This Explanatory Statement was submitted for printing in the 
Congressional Record on
March 9, 2022 by Ms. DeLauro of Connecticut, Chair of the House 
Committee on Appropriations. The Statement appears on page H2477 of 
Book IV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   DIVISION G--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ENVIRONMENT, AND RELATED 
                   AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2022

    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 2022.
    The joint explanatory statement accompanying this division 
is approved and indicates congressional intent. Unless 
otherwise noted, the language set forth in House Report 117-83 
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 2021 enacted level and the 
fiscal year 2022 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.
    Continued Directives.--The Committees continue the 
directives in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 
116-94 regarding Everglades Restoration and Domestic Production 
of Critical Minerals. Directives regarding Transparency of 
Information Regarding Grants, Agreements, Research, and 
Conferences Attendance in the explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 116-260 are also continued.
    Deferred Maintenance.--The Department of the Interior and 
the Forest Service are directed to maintain updated 5-year 
deferred maintenance plans that, to the extent practicable, 
include a list of all outstanding deferred maintenance needs, 
and to provide them to the Committees on a quarterly basis.
    Disaster Recovery Needs.--The Committees direct the 
Department of the Interior and the other agencies funded in 
this bill to establish quarterly reporting requirements for 
their component bureaus, regions, offices, and programs, as 
appropriate, to maintain up-to-date comprehensive information 
for supplemental funding needs related to disaster recovery.
    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 (FLREA) (Public Law 108-447) 
projects and activities performed in each fiscal year, which 
should include a project or activity title, description, 
location, and amount obligated. Each land management agency 
that is unable to complete this directive shall submit a report 
to the Committees within 90 days of enactment of this Act 
detailing the specific steps the agency plans to take to secure 
the capabilities needed to provide proper transparency on the 
spending of FLREA funds.
    Federal Law Enforcement.--The agreement notes that the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Commerce, Justice, 
Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022 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, and the protection of 
civil rights, 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 submit 
a report to the Committees on Appropriations on their efforts 
relating to such implementation no later than 180 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 submit a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations, no later than 180 days after enactment of this 
Act, on their efforts to so participate.
    Firefighting Aviation Contracts.--In light of the receipt 
of the report directed in the explanatory statement 
accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public 
Law 116-260), the Forest Service and the Department of the 
Interior are urged to continue working with relevant 
stakeholders to evaluate ways to address impediments on the use 
of long-term contracts and other contracting strategies or 
approaches for wildland fire suppression activities.
    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).
    Mitigation Activities from Border Barrier Construction.--
The agreement does not include direction requiring a report on 
the impacts of border barrier construction.
    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 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.
    Wild Horses and Burros.--The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and 
Burros Act of 1971 conferred primary responsibility for wild 
horses across the rangelands of the American West to the Bureau 
of Land Management (BLM). However, given the challenges posed 
by rising horse populations coupled with degraded range, 
climate change, and invasive species, the consequences of 
inaction will have a cascading impact on all plants, animals, 
and people that share these lands and finite resources. This is 
a national crisis on our public lands and requires the 
expertise and resources of various bureaus and agencies; BLM 
should not shoulder the responsibility alone. To address this 
urgent problem, the Secretary of the Interior is directed to 
establish a task force with representation from the Bureau of 
Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. 
Geological Survey, and any other Bureau the Secretary deems 
appropriate. In subsequent years, task force membership will be 
expanded to include representatives of the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture and other agencies with essential skills and 
expertise. Any strategy or recommendation of the task force 
will not include any sale or actions that result in the 
destruction of healthy animals, which continues to be 
prohibited by this bill and should be in line with the goals 
and strategies of the Bureau of Land Management's May 2020 
report to Congress on achieving a sustainable program through 
aggressive, non-lethal population control strategy (May 2020 
report). The Secretary is to report to the Committees within 90 
days of enactment of this Act on the establishment of this task 
force and a proposed meeting schedule. The Bureau of Land 
Management is to report to the Committees on a quarterly basis 
on the status of this program, staffing updates, and the work 
of the task force.

                    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 (LWCF). 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 Committees on 
Appropriations, may be modified through an alternate 
allocation. A detailed table showing the LWCF allocation by 
agency, account, activity, and project, including lists of 
specific Federal land acquisition projects and Forest Legacy 
Program projects, including congressionally directed spending, 
accompanies this explanatory statement. The agencies are 
expected to continue to follow the directions included in the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260) under General 
Implementation, except that no funds are provided for 
acquisition contingencies. Specific additional directions 
follow.
    Fish and Wildlife Service.--The Service is expected to 
provide outreach to all units of the National Wildlife Refuge 
System, including Clarks, McKinney, Ottawa, Loxahatchee, and 
Edwards, to ensure these refuges are aware of all funding 
opportunities available. There is an accumulating backlog of 
parcels available at Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge and 
the Service is strongly encouraged to begin the proper due 
diligence work in order for the refuge to access available 
funding opportunities. The newly-established Green River 
National Wildlife Refuge is eligible for funding under the 
recreational access and inholding lines and the Service is 
encouraged to use these additional funding tools at Green 
River, as it does for other refuge units. The Service is also 
encouraged to consider habitat conservation plan land 
acquisition applications that enhance efforts to establish 
State research forests through the Cooperative Endangered 
Species Conservation Fund. Further, the Service should utilize 
available funding from the recreational access and inholding/
emergencies and hardships lines to account for any additional 
project cost need as identified on the fiscal year 2022 ranked 
project list.
    National Park Service.--The Service is directed to report 
to the Committees within 90 days of enactment of this Act on a 
strategy for obligating balances in the State Conservation 
Grant formula and competitive programs from fiscal year 2018 
and prior years that are not associated with any particular 
State's allocation. The Service is further 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 managing their obligations and 
compliance responsibilities related to LWCF, as addressed in 
Senate Report 116-123.
    The Service requested and received approval to reprogram 
Acquisition funds in fiscal year 2021 which adjusted projects 
on the fiscal year 2022 agency priority list. The Service is 
encouraged to use the non-project subactivity lines as 
appropriate to complete any additional projects associated with 
the reprogramming and subsequent adjustments, including 
acquisitions at Harpers Ferry, Petroglyph, Congaree, and 
Sleeping Bear Dunes. The Ste. Genevieve National Historical 
Park was designated as a new park unit in October 2020 and the 
Service is encouraged to provide outreach to the community so 
that interested stakeholders are aware of available acquisition 
funding opportunities.
    Forest Legacy Program.--The Forest Service is directed to 
use a portion of unobligated balances from fiscal year 2018 and 
prior years as needed to complete all of the projects listed in 
the table accompanying this explanatory statement. Use of 
additional unobligated balances may be proposed in accordance 
with the Committees' established reprogramming guidelines for 
projects included in the supplemental list submitted to the 
Committees pursuant to Public Law 116-220 but not specifically 
listed in the table.

                        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 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 agreement 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 agreement, including 
those below the monetary thresholds established above, shall be 
reported to the Committees within 60 days of the end of each 
quarter and shall include cumulative totals for each budget 
activity 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

such as Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, Rio Grande del 
Norte National Monument, and address other high priority areas.

Other Directives.--

    Budget Structure.--The Bureau should consider a budget 
restructure to include a dedicated trails budget line item or 
to include congressionally-designated rivers and trails as 
component subactivities within the National Landscape 
Conservation System.
    Bicycle Accessible Trails.--The Bureau is encouraged to 
identify and complete more plans to enhance bicycle 
opportunities on BLM trails in locations where those uses are 
appropriate and conducted in accordance with the applicable 
land management plan, particularly in states such as New 
Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada.
    Bonneville Salt Flats.--The Bureau and the State of Utah 
have a shared interest in the long-term sustainability of the 
Bonneville Salt Flats and entered into a memorandum of 
understanding in April 2020 to improve coordination of planning 
and management for the area. The Bureau is directed to brief 
the Committees within 45 days of enactment of this Act on the

collaborate with the Arctic Council to promote international 
cooperation and sharing of knowledge, resources, and training 
across the Arctic region to respond to increased wildland fire 
activity due to climate change.
    Coos Bay Wagon Road Lands.--The agreement expects the 
Bureau to fully cooperate with the appraisal committee to 
determine whether the county payments are being made in 
accordance with the Coos Bay Wagon Road Act (Public Law 76-85). 
The land should be appraised in a manner that reflects the 
differences in how Coos Bay Wagon Road Grant lands are managed 
compared to private lands of similar character, including 
restrictions on timber activities. Sudden Oak Death treatments 
are to continue at current levels.
    National Trails.--In coordination with its trail partners, 
the Bureau is directed to update exhibits at its trail 
interpretive centers to reflect these themes and provide a 
project list within 120 days of enactment of this Act. Funding 
for the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trial and Iditarod 
National Historic Trail should be maintained at not less than 
the enacted level. The agreement supports the concept of the 
proposed ``Alaska Long Trail,'' which will interconnect Alaska 
communities from Seward to Fairbanks, providing direct economic 
benefit and expanded recreational access and expects the Bureau 
to offer material support as the effort takes shape.
    Public Lands Policy.--Within available funds, the agreement 
supports efforts by the Bureau to work with a land grant 
university to create a framework for assessment, inventory, and 
monitoring of social and economic data related to how 
individuals and communities are affected by public lands 
management decisions. The Bureau should also take steps to 
understand how to use focused data gathered from social science 
best management practices to improve the public engagement 
process, including engagement on environmental justice and 
underrepresented populations. These efforts will assist urban 
and rural communities, policymakers, resource managers, and 
resource users to engage effectively in the public land policy 
process.
    Range Management.--The Bureau is directed, to the greatest 
extent practicable, to make vacant grazing allotments available 
to a holder of a grazing permit or lease when lands covered by 
the holder of the permit or lease are unusable because of 
drought or wildfire. The Bureau is encouraged to improve the 
management of active allotments and reduce any backlog of 
permits. The Bureau is directed to brief the Committees within 
90 days of enactment of this Act on progress made towards 
reviewing permits currently in the backlog. The Bureau will 
continue the quantitative, science-based analysis of the risk 
of disease transmission between domestic and bighorn sheep 
required in the explanatory statement accompanying the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113).
    Signage for Wilderness Areas.--The Bureau is expected to 
ensure that the public is adequately informed regarding the 
lands protected as well as routes that are open or closed with 
properly posted and maintained signage for the areas protected 
by Public Law 116-9. To help inform the public, the Bureau 
should properly post signage and conduct regular reviews to 
ensure that signage is maintained, and in good readable 
condition, and to replace any damaged or unreadable signs in a 
timely manner.

at the back of this explanatory statement. The Bureau is 
directed to continue the fire protection agreement with the 
State of Oregon to maintain or enhance the current level of 
fire protection for BLM-managed lands in Western Oregon; to 
aggressively target hazardous fuels treatments and report 
annually on the amount spent, as well as the scope of hazardous 
fuels management required across Oregon and California Grant 
Lands; and to regularly report its timber sale accomplishments 
for sales that have been sold and awarded rather than merely 
offered for sale. The Bureau is expected to report these 
activities in a manner consistent with the U.S. Forest Service 
and only count awarded volume.
    Sudden Oak Death Syndrome.--The agreement provides funding 
adequate to continue efforts at fighting Sudden Oak Death 
syndrome.

                           RANGE IMPROVEMENTS

the Service of the critical importance of continuing to reduce 
the backlog of 5-year reviews and associated inherently Federal 
responsibilities.
    The agreement provides $9,500,000 for Recovery Challenge 
matching grants. Recovery Challenge grants are to be used to 
develop and update recovery plans and implement high priority 
recovery actions as prescribed in recovery plans to recover 
federally listed species. Actions should include, but are not 
limited to, genetically-sound breeding, rearing, and 
reintroduction programs. Longstanding partnerships, including 
for the northern aplomado falcon and California condor, would 
be funded at no less than their current levels, and partner 
contributions should be no less than their current amounts and 
provide at least a 50:50 partner match, which may include in-
kind services. The remaining funds should be dedicated to new 
partnerships and should require at least a 50:50 partner match, 
which may include in-kind services. Unless an affected State is 
a partner on the project, no funds may be awarded to a project 
until the project partners have consulted with such State.

    Tiwahe.--The bill includes additional funds as noted below 
under Human Services and are to be used to expand the Tiwahe 
Initiative to more Tribes for human services-related Tiwahe 
activities. Further, the Committees expect funding to existing 
Tiwahe pilot programs to continue in the same amounts to the 
same recipients, including funding to support women and 
children's shelters. Finally, the Committees received the 
Federal and Tribal reports on the Tiwahe Initiative, which 
include recommendations on future action and expansion. The 
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is directed to submit a plan on 
how to expand the program to all Tribes incrementally along 
with a strategy on how to consider existing pilot programs 
during any expansion and be consistent with the final report

    The Committees understand the Bureau is utilizing funding 
to plug abandoned wells in the Mineral Estate. The Committees 
direct the Bureau to report back to the Committees within 180 
days of enactment of this Act outlining an initial estimate of 
the number of plugged and unplugged wells, along with estimated 
costs for those wells that are ready to be completed, which 
entails well bore abandonment in the mineral estate and well 
site remediation and restoration on the surface estate. It is 
understood that the final estimated number of unplugged wells 
and the associated cost estimates to address will continue to 
be revised as BIA realty processing is completed to identify 
presence or absence of responsible parties.

a subsequent reprogramming request to allocate portions of the 
funding to Detention/Corrections and Tribal Courts as 
necessary.
    The Committees direct the Bureau, working with other 
Federal partners, to provide the Committees on Appropriations 
within one year of enactment of this Act a report on the 
training needs for Bureau law enforcement and Tribal law 
enforcement with a comprehensive plan on how to recruit, train, 
and fill vacancies. As part of this report, the Committees 
expect the Bureau to identify partnerships with Federal, State, 
and Tribal law enforcement entities for things such as 
facilities and hiring processes that could be utilized to 
address needs. The report should also identify potential 
legislative changes to improve recruitment and retention.
    The agreement includes $113,369,000 for Detention/
Corrections, which includes a $5,000,000 general increase, and 
continues the increases for Indian country detention facilities 
and background checks provided in fiscal year 2021. Due to 
reports of high numbers of deaths in BIA-funded detention

           Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians


                         FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The agreement provides $109,572,000 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. This 
amount includes fixed costs as requested and internal transfers 
to effectuate historical trust accounting. It does not include 
requested internal transfers for new employees, nor are any 
funds included for these positions. However, to ensure OST 
participates in the Department's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion 
and Accessibility initiative in support of Executive Orders 
13985 and 13988, the agreement includes $400,000 for Indian 
Affairs to perform these activities on OST's behalf until the 
future of OST is resolved.
    The Committees remain concerned about whether OST has 
completed its duties and responsibilities under the 1994 Indian 
Trust Reform Management Act (Public Law 103-412). In fiscal 
year 2019, Congress adopted the Department's proposal to shift 
OST's reporting structure from the Secretary to the Assistant 
Secretary--Indian Affairs. Congress did not adopt a proposal 
providing the Department with unilateral authority to create a 
new budget structure and bureau under Indian Affairs.
    The Department's actions over the past years with respect 
to this issue are concerning. In fiscal year 2021, Congress 
rejected the proposed budget structure for BTFA and continued 
funding OST. Yet the Department continues to take actions to 
establish BTFA, including taking steps towards formalizing BTFA 
by referencing BTFA in regulations despite BTFA not having been 
approved and not providing sufficient information to 
demonstrate compliance with Public Law 103-412. In addition, 
Congress expected the Department to consult with Tribes on the 
future of OST and its duties. Instead, the Department consulted 
on how BTFA should perform OST's functions.
    The Committees continue to need additional information to 
evaluate the best path forward for any remaining OST functions 
and responsibilities once OST sunsets. The Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) has yet to complete its work 
directed by Congress in fiscal year 2021, in part because the 
Department has not provided GAO with requested information in a 
timely manner. The Committees are committed to working with the 
Department on a path forward to fulfill its trust 
responsibilities. Therefore, the Department is expected to work 
with GAO and provide the requested information in a timely 
manner to help the Committees make a more informed decision.

directed to provide a briefing to the Committees within 60 days 
of enactment of this Act on the proposed distribution of 
hazardous fuels funding to its component bureaus, the 
allocation methodology, and how it takes into account areas 
with special designations, such as the Oregon and California 
Grant Lands. The Department is directed to provide $4,000,000 
to the Joint Fire Science program for fiscal year 2022, which 
combined with funding in the Forest Service provides $8,000,000 
in total. Direction related to the Joint Fire Science Program 
is included under the Forest and Rangeland Research heading in 
House Report 117-83. The Department shall report at the end of 
each fiscal year the number of acres treated by prescribed

costs associated with such activities.

              WILDFIRE SUPPRESSION OPERATIONS RESERVE FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The bill includes $330,000,000 for the Wildfire Suppression 
Operations Reserve Fund, which is $20,000,000 above the enacted

sanitary and combined sewer monitoring technologies during 
upgrades to water and wastewater systems, to optimize water 
delivery performance, reduce energy usage, limit water waste in 
distribution systems, and enhance modeling of sewer collection 
networks. This will help to improve operations, maintenance, 
and capital expenditure in planning and budgeting and increase 
spatial and temporal monitoring data available on U.S. water 
quality and quantity. The Committees support the WaterSense 
program and appreciate EPA's work to advance water recycling 
through the National Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP).
    The Committees support the Agency's ongoing activities 
related to integrated planning, which will be increasingly 
necessary as States and communities work to meet their myriad 
clean water obligations while keeping rates affordable for 
water ratepayers. The Committees direct that funding for the 
Office of Municipal Ombudsman, as authorized by Congress, be 
funded at not less than the enacted level.
    Additional Guidance.--The following additional guidance is 
included:
    Biointermediates.--The Committees appreciate the work of

the Agency to brief the Committees within 60 days of enactment 
of this Act about its plans for action.
    Community Air Quality Monitoring.--The Committees urge the 
Agency to prioritize air quality monitoring systems that yield 
frequently repeated measurements of pollutants and identify 
hotspots or areas of persistent elevated levels of pollutants 
localized to and caused by the characteristics of a specific 
geographic location. The Committees encourage the Agency to 
utilize this information to provide regularly updated data to 
overburdened and marginalized communities and for public 
awareness and other activities.
    Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program.--The 
Committees note that through the Environmentally Preferable 
Purchasing Program, the Agency makes efforts to improve the 
sustainable marketplace and uses purchasing power to help 
catalyze sustainable products innovation. The Committees direct 
the Agency to provide a briefing, within 180 days of enactment 
of this Act, on planned updates to the Recommendations of 
Specifications, Standards and Ecolabels for Federal Purchasing 
and conducting lifecycle environmental impact assessments to 
help reduce plastic waste.
    Food Waste.--The Committees direct that, no later than 
September 30, 2022, EPA, in coordination with the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, shall provide a briefing to the 
Committees on how the nation is meeting, and how the agencies 
are measuring progress against the U.S. 2030 Food Loss and 
Waste Reduction Goal.
    Modeling and Monitoring of Tijuana River Transboundary 
Pollution Events.--Within existing funds, the Committees 
encourage EPA to advance predictive models to assess and 
evaluate potential infrastructure projects to reduce beach 
closure days and other related impacts from transboundary 
untreated sewage pollution events.

of the deadline for progress reports required by Sec. 10115 of 
Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-334) and to 
provide updates to stakeholders as appropriate. The Committees 
also request that EPA continue to keep the Committees apprised 
of stakeholder engagement activities, consistent with the 
timing of progress reports to Congress on Endangered Species 
Act consultation.
    Pre-Commercial Thinning.--The Committees recognize that 
precommercial thinning from non-Federal forestland that is not 
ecologically sensitive forestland can qualify as renewable 
biomass for purposes of the Renewable Fuel Standard under the 
provisions detailed in 40 C.F.R. 80.1401. The Committees 
encourage the Agency to support other Federal agencies leading 
efforts to enhance markets for low-grade and low-value wood.
    Small Refinery Relief.--The Committees recognize that the 
Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) under Clean Air Act Section 
211(o)(9) provides that EPA may exempt small refineries from 
compliance with the RFS in certain circumstances and that a 
small refinery ``may at any time petition the Administrator for 
an extension of the exemption . . . for the reason of 
disproportionate economic hardship.''
    Transboundary Watersheds.--The Committees direct the Agency 
to continue and expand its work coordinating with Federal, 
State, local, and Tribal agencies to monitor and reduce 
transboundary mining pollution in the Kootenai watershed and 
other U.S.-British Columbia transboundary watersheds. The 
Agency is also directed to report to the Committees within 90 
days of enactment of this Act on its progress to document 
baseline conditions and mining-related impacts, and any 
additional staff or resources needed for this project. These 
efforts are funded at no less than the enacted level.
    Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule.--The Committees 
recognize stakeholder interest in monitoring additional 
unregulated contaminants in drinking water beyond what was 
recently proposed by EPA and encourage the Agency to consider 
additional contaminants in future Unregulated Contaminant 
Monitoring Rules.
    Updating Safe Drinking Water Information System.--The 
Committees recognize that the Safe Drinking Water Information 
System is in need of updates and expansion to maximize its 
utility for States, Territories, Tribes, utilities, and the 
public. The Committees expect the Agency to provide a briefing 
within 180 days of the enactment of this Act on the Agency's 
plans and resource needs for on-going and upcoming updates.
    Water Infrastructure Interagency Coordination.--The 
Committees urge EPA to fund specific interagency coordination 
groups in support of effective water and wastewater 
infrastructure and services to colonias and Tribal communities. 
Interagency coordination groups should promote interagency 
planning and program coordination to better facilitate the 
construction, improvement, and maintenance of water and 
wastewater infrastructure and services in colonias and Tribal 
communities. The Interagency coordination groups are also 
encouraged to coordinate research efforts on the nexus between 
pollutant exposures, access to water, and disparities in 
coronavirus mortality and morbidity rates.

            HAZARDOUS WASTE ELECTRONIC MANIFEST SYSTEM FUND

    The agreement discontinues new appropriations for the 
Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System Fund account, 
consistent with the budget request. Because the e-Manifest 
Program is now fully operational and fee-supported, funding in 
this account is no longer necessary.

                      Office of Inspector General

    The bill provides $44,030,000 for the Office of Inspector 
General. The bill transfers $11,800,000 from the Hazardous

    The bill provides $20,262,000 for Inland Oil Spill 
Programs.

                   State and Tribal Assistance Grants

    The bill provides $4,351,573,000 for the State and Tribal 
Assistance Grants program and includes the following specific 
funding levels and direction:
    Community Project Funding Items/Congressionally Directed 
Spending Items.--From within funds provided for capitalization 
grants for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and the 
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, the Committees recommend 
$443,639,051 from the Clean Water SRF and $397,766,044 from the 
Drinking Water SRF be for Community Project Funding/
Congressionally Directed Spending grants for the construction 
of drinking water, waste-water, and storm-water infrastructure 
and for water quality protection. Each project shall provide 
not less than 20 percent matching funds from non-Federal 
sources, unless approved for a waiver. Applicable Federal 
requirements that would apply to a Clean Water State Revolving 
Fund or Drinking Water State Revolving Fund project grant 
recipient shall apply to a grantee receiving a CPF grant under 
this section. The Committees note that the following funding 
sources are to be treated as non-Federal funds and can be used 
to meet the non-Federal matching fund requirement: U.S. 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community 
Development Block Grant program; U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, Rural Development Program; and Appalachian 
Regional Commission grants. Funding made available to 
jurisdictions through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 
(P.L. 117-2) are considered Federal funds and may not be 
applied towards the non-Federal cost share requirement. A 
detailed list of projects is in the table titled ``Interior and 
Environment Incorporation of Community Project Funding Items/
Congressionally Directed Spending Items.''
    Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).--The agreement 
provides $1,638,826,000 for the Clean Water SRF and directs the 
Agency to brief the Committees on addressing the impacts of 
nonpoint source pollution and stormwater runoff through the use 
of nature-based and other low impact development techniques.
    Infrastructure Assistance.--The agreement provides 
$3,252,189,000 for infrastructure assistance. The Committees 
are aware that the Agency requires a certified operator in 
order to release funds for certain water and sanitation 
funding; however, some communities do not have a community 
system for either, or access to a certified operator. 
Therefore, the Committees direct the Agency to work with the 
Indian Health Service and those communities that lack water and 
sanitation systems, as well as a certified operator, to prevent 
the potential loss of funding and develop a training plan for 
operator certification.
    Brownfields Program.--The agreement provides $91,987,000 
for Brownfields grants and directs that at least 10 percent of 
such grants be provided to areas in which at least 20 percent 
of the population has lived under the poverty level over the 
past 30 years as determined by censuses and the most recent 
Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates. The bill makes U.S. 
territories and possessions categorically eligible for funding 
from within this set-aside.
    The Committees note the value of multipurpose Brownfields 
grant awards, especially in communities that have clusters of 
Brownfield sites distributed over a larger geographic area. 
Many communities find that these larger awards allow for more 
rapid, cost-effective remediation and redevelopment planning, 
which in turn produce greater leveraging of Brownfields funding 
and offer more substantial returns on Federal investment. The 
Committees urge the Agency to tailor the size and frequency of 
multi-purpose awards to the needs of each region, in order to 
make grant funding consistently available to communities with 
Brownfields sites.
    Diesel Emission Reductions Grants (DERA).--The agreement 
provides $92,000,000 for DERA grants. The Committees note that 
the DERA program was recently reauthorized through 2024. The 
Committees support the use of DERA funding in transportation 
electrification projects.
    Targeted Airshed Grants.--The agreement provides 
$61,927,000 for Targeted Airshed Grants. These grants shall be 
distributed on a competitive basis to nonattainment areas that 
the Agency determines are ranked as the top five most polluted 
areas relative to annual ozone or particulate matter 2.5 
standards, as well as the top five areas based on the 24-hour 
particulate matter 2.5 standard where the design values exceed 
the 35 mg/m3 standard. To determine these areas, the Agency 
shall use the most recent design values calculated from 
validated air quality data. The Committees note that these 
funds are available for emission reduction activities deemed

                        Departmental Management

    Bureau of International Labor Affairs.--The agreement 
requests the amount spent in the prior fiscal year on technical 
assistance grants to combat exploitative child labor and for 
worker rights issues be included in future Congressional 
Justifications. Not later than 60 days after enactment of this 
Act, the Bureau is directed to brief the Committees on its 
planned allocation of fiscal year 2022 resources.
    Evaluation Authority.-- The agreement continues authority 
to use up to 0.75 percent of certain Department appropriations 
for evaluation activities identified by the Chief Evaluation 
Officer. The agreement expects to be notified of the planned 
uses of funds derived from this authority.
    Federal Law Enforcement.--The agreement notes that the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Commerce, Justice, 
Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022 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, and the protection of 
civil rights, 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 submit 
a report to the Committees on Appropriations on their efforts 
relating to such implementation no later than 180 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

Accountability Office (GAO) is directed to conduct a study on 
the short- and long-term trends in the labor market of the 
number of hours worked by American workers, and the correlation 
with these trends.
    Worker Access to Retirement plans and other Benefits.-- The 
agreement recognizes that a growing segment of workers do not 
have access to employer-based retirement plans, and other 
benefits typically provided through full-time employment. The 
portability of benefits is an important feature of retirement 
savings, workers compensation, health insurance, income 
security and other work-related benefits. The agreement directs 
the Chief Evaluation Officer of the Department of Labor, in 
conjunction with Employee Benefits Security Administration and 
other relevant DOL offices, to submit a report to Congress 
within 6 months of enactment that provides a detailed and 
specific analysis of why some workers do not have access to 
these benefits and evidence-based recommendations for pilot 
programs or other initiatives to design, implement, and 
evaluate new and existing models and approaches to providing 
high-quality benefits to workers who currently do not have 
access to them. This proposal should ensure that the various 
models are evaluated for their ability to accommodate 
contributions from multiple employers for an individual worker, 
as well as their scalability at the national level.

                            IT Modernization

    The Department is directed to continue to submit a report 
to the Committees not later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act that provides an update on projects to be funded, 
planned activities and associated timelines, expected benefits, 
and planned expenditures. The report should also include 
completed activities, remaining activities and associated 
timelines, actual and remaining expenditures, explanation of 
any cost overruns and delays, and corrective actions, as 
necessary, to keep the project on track and within budget.
    The agreement includes a new provision which modifies 
authority for the Department's Working Capital Fund (WCF), by 
increasing the authority to transfer up to $36,000,000 in 
future unobligated balances of appropriations provided in this 
and future Department of Labor Appropriations acts into the 
WCF. The Department is directed to continue to comply with the 
plan requirements established by Public Law 115-245.

integrity activities.

    Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs).--The 
agreement includes $606,646,000 for the CTSA program, an 
increase of $19,805,000 above the fiscal year 2021 enacted 
level. The agreement maintains its strong support for the CTSA 
program and commends the national network for their efforts to 
modernize the translation of research into health benefits 
across the full spectrum of medical research, for their 
contributions to the COVID-19 response, and for addressing 
health disparities, health equity, and enhancing rural care. 
The agreement is concerned the recent CTSA Funding Opportunity 
Announcement (FOA) could alter the CTSA's strategic direction 
and divert appropriated resources intended for CTSA hubs. 
Resources provided by the agreement are intended to enhance 
funding for hubs, thus bolstering the national network. 
Therefore, NCATS is directed to ensure that any CTSA hub that 
has successfully recompeted through the new FOA does not 
receive more than a 5 percent reduction in total annual support 
for its core hub responsibilities. In addition, the agreement 
directs that all CTSA hub partner organizations that contribute 
key resources and expertise to a CTSA hub's translational work 
should continue to be treated as full partners, including 
treatment of their entire NIH research enterprises in the 
calculation of hub budgets. This will support local CTSA hubs 
and maintain collaborations with community organizations and 
research and academic partners that expand the full spectrum of 
research and translation, and foster innovation. Further, the 
agreement strongly encourages NCATS to fund expanded programs 
that address the significant disparities and burden of disease 
disproportionally affecting minority and special populations 
and to substantively respond. Finally, the agreement reiterates 
previous direction that NCATS inform the Committees prior to 
any planned changes to the size of hub awards, scope of the 
program, or strategic changes to the program, specifically 
noting that the Committees shall be consulted prior to any new 
CTSA initiatives being implemented.
    Cures Acceleration Network (CAN).--The agreement continues 
its support for CAN to further reduce barriers between research 
discovery and clinical trials at $60,000,000, the same as the 
fiscal year 2021 enacted level. The agreement urges NCATS to 
consider supporting activities within CAN and other NCATS' 
offices or divisions that focus on precision medicine--from 
precision prevention, to precision diagnosis, to precision 
therapeutics. Activities should also include the ability to 
generate the data to demonstrate the efficacy and cost 
effectiveness of precision medicine.
    Full Spectrum of Medical Research.--The agreement supports 
NIH's efforts to advance the full spectrum of medical research, 
which ensures 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 CTSAs, to these important 
efforts.

                      OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR (OD)

    All of Us Research Program/Precision Medicine Initiative.--
The agreement provides a total of $541,000,000 for the All of 
US precision medicine initiative, $41,000,000 above the fiscal 
year 2021 enacted level. The agreement directs NIH to continue 
its efforts to recruit and retain participants from 
historically underrepresented populations in biomedical 
research, and to expand its efforts to enroll participants from 
geographically diverse communities. To achieve this diversity, 
NIH is encouraged to support additional avenues for enrollment 
from the Midwest and Great Plains regions that facilitate 
participation from both rural and urban communities. These 
efforts will help ensure that All of Us scientific resources 
reflect the rich diversity of our country and that advances 
made from this program will benefit the health of all 
Americans.
    Alternatives to Animals in Research and Testing.--The 
agreement directs NIH to submit a report not later than 180 
days after enactment of this Act on the programs to support the 
use of alternatives to animals in research, including: (1) what 
programs currently exist at NIH for developing, promoting, and 
funding alternatives to animal research and testing; and (2) a 
plan for including the reduction, where possible and 
appropriate, the number of animals used in Federally-funded 
research and testing.
    Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Screening Tools.--The 
agreement urges NIH to update its analysis of validated 
screening tools, including digital screening tools that can 
reliably detect mild cognitive impairment. This review should 
focus on identifying tools that have been developed in the time 
since the last assessment was conducted and on providing 
information to assist healthcare providers in regularly using 
such tools to assess the cognitive health of their patients.
    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).--The agreement is 
aware of the significant need to expand scientific 
understanding of ALS and to translate the science more rapidly 
into effective treatments that can make ALS a livable disease. 
To achieve these outcomes as soon as possible, the agreement 
includes $25,000,000 to implement the Accelerating Access to 
Critical Therapies for ALS Act (P.L. 117-79). The agreement 
directs NIH to organize a trans-agency initiative to develop an 
ALS research strategic plan, as described in House Report 117-
96. The agreement strongly supports the Transformative Research 
Award program for ALS and directs the Director to continue to 
fund this critical initiative in fiscal year 2022. Finally, the 
agreement includes $1,000,000 to commission a study by NASEM to 
identify and recommend actions for the public, private, and 
nonprofit sectors to undertake to make ALS a livable disease 
within a decade.
    Animal Model Validation.--The agreement encourages NIH to 
provide a report to the Committees no later than one year after 
enactment outlining the progress of its efforts to improve 
animal model validation, support the development of models to 
improve translation, and what additional funding may be 
required.
    Analyzing Sex and Race/Ethnicity Differences and Long-Term 
Health Effects of COVID-19.--To better understand how sex 
differences and race/ethnicity variables are implicated in the 
severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the agreement encourages the 
ICs in coordination with the OD and Office of Research on 
Women's Health to support research that studies how sex as a 
biological variable and social element, and race/ethnicity 
variables impact short and long-term outcomes due to infection 
with SARS-CoV-2.
    Artificial Intelligence/Big Data.--The agreement directs 
NIH to develop best practices to standardize controlled data 
access processes. Such an effort will streamline access, 
support the emerging NIH data science infrastructure, and meet 
the needs of the research community while preserving the 
original protections agreed to when the data were collected, 
taking into account potential cost and burden. It should 
consider lessons learned from past efforts, review emerging 
processes and technologies being piloted by ICO repositories, 
and develop new potential solutions that leverage technological 
advancements. The agreement directs NIH, within one year after 
enactment of this Act, to develop and present recommendations 
for: potential common solutions for streamlining and 
centralizing controlled access mechanisms through 
implementation improvements and use of emerging technological 
advancements; make controlled access data stored in NIH-
operated and supported repositories more findable and 
accessible; and assess the extent to which increased 
interoperability of controlled access repositories leads 
inadvertently to gaps in oversight and control, including 
explicit consideration of increased re-identification risk. The 
agreement directs ODSS and NLS to continue to provide quarterly 
updates to the Committees on its efforts.
    Biomedical Research Facilities.--The agreement provides 
$60,000,000 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.--Overall, the agreement provides 
$620,000,000 for the BRAIN Initiative, including $152,000,000 
authorized in the Cures Act. The overall funding level includes 
$70,000,000 for the Human Brain Cell Atlas; $30,000,000 for the 
Armamentarium for Brain Cell Access; and $10,000,000 for the 
Brain Connectivity Map.
    Building Diversity in Cell Models of Human Disease.--The 
agreement encourages NIH to consider funding the development of 
a specialized suite of ethnically diverse and tissue-specific 
cell lines with structures labeled for studying disease 
mechanism and detection. If funded, the originating cells 
should be collected from volunteers in a culturally sensitive 
manner who have consented to allow for derivation of cell 
line(s), distribution, and use. NIH should consider 
collaborating with experienced research community leaders in 
building cell line collections that are publicly accessible.
    Cerebral Palsy.--The agreement strongly encourages NIH to 
strengthen, accelerate, and coordinate cerebral palsy research 
across the lifespan, including in areas identified as 
priorities in the 2017 NINDS/NICHD Strategic Plan for CP 
Research, such as basic and translational discoveries, 
including neuroprotective, regenerative medicine and mechanisms 
of neuroplasticity, as well as studies aimed at early detection 
and intervention, comparative effectiveness and functional 
outcomes. The agreement encourages that a follow-up workshop be 
held in 2022 in conjunction with key stakeholders to provide 
updates on promising research to refine the specific 
opportunities that were identified in the 5 to 10 year NIH 
strategic plan, including early detection and intervention.
    Chimera Research.--The agreement supports NIH's funding 
limitation regarding the introduction of human pluripotent 
cells into non-human vertebrate animal pre-gastrulation stage 
embryos. The agreement takes seriously the bio-ethical 
considerations regarding the creation of human-animal chimeras 
and the continuation of research using these cells.
    Collection and Reporting of Animal Research Numbers and 
Agency Funding.--The agreement recognizes that Congress has 
expressed an interest in reducing the use of nonhuman animals 
in NIH-funded research and replacing animals with valid and 
reliable non-animal alternatives when appropriate for the 
science. In the National Institutes of Health Revitalization 
Act of 1993, Congress first requested that the agency create a 
plan for doing so. The agreement also recognizes the scientific 
community's stated commitment to the ``three Rs'' of 
replacement, reduction, and refinement. Integral to that 
commitment are the accurate counting of animals used in 
research and testing and the accurate reporting of NIH funding 
dedicated to projects involving animals. The agreement 
recognizes that it has been NIH's policy since 1985 to collect 
an ``average daily inventory'' of vertebrate animals housed in 
research facilities that wish to receive agency funding. The 
agreement understands that domestic facilities are required to 
file such documentation every four years as part of an Animal 
Welfare Assurance and that copies of the documents are 
available to the public only through Freedom of Information Act 
requests. The agreement requests a report from NIH within one 
year of enactment of this Act outlining a plan for 
collaborating with USDA to increase the accuracy and 
transparency of the data collected. The plan should also 
include details on how NIH will address any incomplete 
reporting of NIH funded research with animals and encourage 
prospective documentation of study design and analysis plans.
    Communications with the Committees.--NIH shall consult with 
the Committees prior to additional changes with the 
Congressional liaison staff. NIH shall notify the Committees of 
any limitations to full compliance with directives included in 
a report or explanatory statement, and such notification shall 
be provided within 15 days of the public release of any such 
report or statement. In addition, NIH is directed to provide an 
Excel spreadsheet with the fiscal year 2022 enacted level and 
the fiscal year 2023 request level by Institute and Center, 
including all ongoing or proposed initiatives by Institute or 
Center, as well as any programs identified with a funding level 
in the fiscal year 2022 explanatory statement, when the fiscal 
year 2023 Congressional Justification is published.
    Cybersecurity.--The agreement includes an increase of 
$40,000,000 to strengthen cybersecurity at NIH.
    Diversity of the Biomedical Research Workforce.--The 
agreement directs NIH to study, to the extent possible, the 
race, ethnicity, age, disability status, and career stage 
breakdown of the impact of COVID-19 on participation in the 
workforce by monitoring the types of awards received from and 
awarded to institutions for 2 years beginning 90 days after 
enactment of this Act. If pre-pandemic data on these 
demographics are not available, the agreement directs the NIH 
to collect them going forward. If the data demonstrate that 
fewer women are applying for grants, then it is imperative that 
NIH take steps to address this disparity. The agreement 
requests a status update to the Committees from NIH on this 
research in the fiscal year 2023 Congressional Justification, 
as well as the steps being taken to maintain the diversity of 
the research workforce.
    Dual Purpose/Dual Benefit Research.--The agreement strongly 
urges a continued partnership between NIH, National Institute 
of Food and Agriculture, and the other relevant 115 Federal 
research and development agencies to develop a next generation 
interagency program using agriculturally important large animal 
species. The agreement expects NIH to continue this important 
cooperative partnership 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.
    Federal Law Enforcement.--The agreement notes that the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Commerce, Justice, 
Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022 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, and the protection of 
civil rights, 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 submit 
a report to the Committees on Appropriations on their efforts 
relating to such implementation no later than 180 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 submit a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations, no later than 180 days after enactment of this 
Act, on their efforts to so participate.
    Firearm Injury and Mortality Prevention Research.--The 
agreement includes $12,500,000, the same level as fiscal year 
2021, 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 Influence.--To support NIH's efforts to 
expeditiously complete foreign influence investigations, the 
agreement includes $2,500,000 for this activity within the 
Office of Extramural Research. The agreement directs NIH to 
provide biannual briefings on the progress of these 
investigations.
    Humane Research Alternatives.--Recognizing that humane, 
cost-effective, and scientifically suitable non-animal methods 
are available for certain research models, the agreement 
directs NIH to appoint a working group to make recommendations 
for encouraging the use of non-animal models where appropriate 
in NIH intramural and extramural research, including 
epidemiological and clinical studies, cell-based methods, 
computer modeling and simulation, and human tissue studies, 
with consideration for complexity of the biomedical research 
area, and the current applicability and translatability of the 
non-animal model. The panel should also report on effectively 
moving research away from methods that rely on poorly-defined 
animal models to methods that rely on validated non-animal 
alternatives. The working group should review and recommend 
means of encouraging greater reliance on validated human-
relevant non-animal methods/approaches that are appropriate for 
identified research areas. Membership should include 
individuals with proven knowledge of/experience with non-animal 
research methods; with proven knowledge of/expertise with 
animal research models; with expertise in evaluating the 
adequacy of justifications described in research applications 
and proposals for why the research goals cannot be accomplished 
using an alternative model; and with knowledge of research 
animal welfare, and relevant scientific limitations. The 
Committee asks that NIH provide a report of the working group's 
findings within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
    IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network.--The 
agreement includes no less than the fiscal year 2021 funding 
level to continue this program.
    INCLUDE Initiative.--The agreement includes no less than 
$75,000,000, an increase of $10,000,000 above the fiscal year 
2021 enacted level, within OD for the INCLUDE Initiative. The 
agreement is pleased that this multi-year, trans-NIH research 
initiative has enabled significant advances in understanding 
immune system dysregulation, new research into the connection 
with Alzheimer's disease, and the creation of national Data 
Coordinating Center, all of which may dramatically improve the 
health and quality of life of individuals with Down syndrome as 
well as millions of typical individuals. The agreement 
encourages NIH to pursue some of the most neglected areas of 
research and care such as health disparities for African 
Americans with Down syndrome, mosaic Down syndrome, those with 
the dual diagnosis of Down syndrome and autism, and new studies 
on metabolic dysregulation. The agreement requests the Director 
provide an updated plan within 60 days of enactment of this Act 
that includes a timeline, description of potential grant 
opportunities and deadlines for all expected funding 
opportunities so that young investigators and new research 
institutions may be further encouraged to explore research in 
this space. This plan should also incorporate and increase 
pipeline research initiatives specific to Down syndrome.
    Long Haul COVID-19.--The agreement directs NIH to post on 
its website a summary of the status of the RECOVER Initiative 
at least every 6 months and, as appropriate, any findings from 
the study.
    Chimpanzee Maintenance, Care, and Transportation.--The 
agreement directs NIH to provide a report to the Committees 
quarterly, beginning no later than June 1, 2022, 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, including details on the cause of death and 
the specific rationale behind any euthanasia decisions, that 
have occurred at any time after January 1, 2020, at APF, KCCMR, 
SNPRC, and the national sanctuary system.
    Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) Diseases.--The agreement 
encourages expanded research of treatments for neurological, 
inflammatory, cardiovascular, and skeletal manifestations of 
MPS, with an emphasis on gene therapy. The agreement encourages 
the NIH, NCATS, and NINDS to increase funding to grantees to 
incentivize MPS research, particularly given the aging and 
small population of current researchers.
    Office of AIDS Research.--The agreement includes no less 
than $3,194,000,000 across NIH for HIV/AIDS research.
    Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research 
(OBSSR).--The agreement includes $38,932,000 for OBSSR.
    Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH).--The agreement 
includes $59,480,000 for ORWH. Within this amount, the 
agreement includes $4,000,000 for the Building 
Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) 
program to fund additional BIRCWH fellows at existing sites 
with a goal of increasing the diversity of the scholars, sites, 
and research areas supported by the program, and to expand the 
number of sites to increase the number and skills of 
investigators who conduct research on sex influences on health 
and disease.
    Office of the Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce 
Diversity (COSWD).--The agreement includes $16,190,000 to the 
Office of the COSWD.
    Osteopathic Medical Schools.--The agreement recognizes that 
increased access to research funding for the osteopathic 
profession will significantly bolster NIH's capacity to support 
robust recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, address health 
disparities in rural and medically-underserved populations, and 
advance research in primary care, prevention, and treatment. 
The agreement requests an update on the current status of NIH 
funding to colleges of osteopathic medicine and representation 
of doctors of osteopathic medicine on NIH National Advisory 
Councils and standing study sections in the fiscal year 2023 
Congressional Justification.
    Pediatric Clinical Trials Authorized under Best 
Pharmaceuticals for Children Act.--The agreement directs that 
funding authorized by the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act 
(P.L. 107-109) include research to prepare for and conduct 
clinical trials.
    Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).--
Approximately one-third of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 
are developing long-lasting symptoms referred to as post-acute 
sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). A significant portion of 
individuals with PASC experience moderate to severe autonomic 
nervous system dysfunction 6 months after the onset of 
infection. Reports suggest that the most common type of 
autonomic nervous system dysfunction in PASC patients is POTS. 
There are no FDA approved treatments for POTS or PASC 
associated autonomic nervous system dysfunction at this time, 
and patients suffer with significant disability and a poor 
quality-of-life. The agreement encourages NIH to ensure that 
the $1,150,000,000 investment Congress has provided to NIH for 
PASC research is used, in part, to identify how viruses like 
SARS-CoV-2 result in autonomic nervous system dysfunction, such 
as POTS, and how we can most effectively treat PASC associated 
autonomic nervous system dysfunction, including PASC associated 
POTS. The agreement encourages NIH to leverage the expertise of 
research centers that have previously studied post-viral POTS 
in pursuing these important research questions.
    Prenatal Opioid Use Disorders and Neonatal Abstinence 
Syndrome (NAS).--The agreement encourages NIH to coordinate 
with other agencies at HHS to support additional research on 
prevention, identification, and treatment of prenatal opioid 
exposure and NAS, including the best methods for screening and 
treating pregnant women for opioid use disorder and the best 
methods for screening for NAS. Additionally, the agreement 
encourages NIH to build on the ACT NOW study to enhance 
understanding of the impact of pharmacological and non-
pharmacological treatment techniques on costs and outcomes in 
the short-term and longitudinally. The agreement further 
encourages NIH to coordinate with other agencies at HHS to 
support research on innovative care models to optimize care and 
long-term outcomes for families.
    Preventing Chronic Disease in Rural Areas.--The agreement 
urges NIH support research to improve outcomes for rural 
patients with chronic illnesses and improve abilities of 
families of these patients to support their treatments.
    Radiopharmaceuticals.--The agreement encourages NIH to 
explore the use of new isotopes and novel applications for 
radiopharmaceuticals and leverage next-generation advanced 
manufacturing techniques for isotope production being made by 
DOE-funded research universities and National Laboratories.
    Rare Disease Research.--The agreement urges NIH to expand 
research on rare genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, such as 
7q11.23 Duplication Syndrome and Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis 
49. The agreement requests an update on these activities in the 
fiscal year 2023 Congressional Justification.
    Research Involving Enhanced Potential Pandemic Pathogens.--
The agreement supports a robust evaluation of whether the HHS 
Framework for Guiding Funding Decisions about Proposed Research 
Involving Enhanced Potential Pandemic Pathogen Care and 
Oversight has achieved its intended purpose and whether the 
scope of research it covers is sufficient. The agreement 
directs HHS and NIH to convene the National Science Advisory 
Board for Biosecurity and conduct such a review.
    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.
    Strategic Plan.--The agreement recognizes that NIH should 
carefully consider national security considerations when 
developing and executing their NIH-wide Strategic Plan.
    Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD).--The agreement strongly 
encourages OD to establish a National Collaborative Research 
Consortium for TMDs to coordinate, fund, and translate basic 
and clinical research. Research priorities may include 
improvements to clinical outcomes; facial pain and sex factors; 
population-based research to further understand the burden and 
costs of TMDs; comparative effectiveness research on TMD 
treatments; and artificial intelligence and novel data 
approaches.
    Trans-NIH Pediatric Research Consortium (N-PeRC).--The 
agreement requests a report within 180 days after enactment of 
this act on how N-PeRC plans to support studies of the 
physical, mental and behavioral health impacts of COVID-19 on 
children, including multisystem inflammatory syndrome in 
children, as well as plans for N-PeRC's focus over the coming 3 
years.
    Tribal Health Research Office.--The agreement recognizes 
the important work of the Tribal Health Research Office, but is 
concerned that no such analogous office exists to support 
Native Hawaiians (NH). The agreement encourages OD, in 
coordination with NIMHD and other ICs, to prioritize addressing 
the research needs of NH and to partner with entities with a 
proven track record of working closely with NH communities and 
organizations, which will allow for the development of NH 
researchers.
    Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC).--The agreement 
acknowledges NIH's updated 2016 TSC Research Plan and progress 
advancing the plan. NIH should encourage research opportunities 
in the five key areas prioritized by workshop participants. 
Because TSC impacts multiple organ systems, the agreement 
encourages the Director to coordinate the participation of ICs 
on a research strategy aimed at addressing the medical and 
neuropsychological burdens associated with TSC while 
deciphering the biology underlying phenotypic heterogeneity. 
The agreement encourages NICHD to facilitate development of a 
viable newborn screening assay for TSC. The agreement 
encourages the Director to apply recommendations from the 2017 
Neurodevelopmental Disorders Biomarkers Workshop to take 
advantage of biomarker expertise and lessons learned across 
disease groups, the 2018 Accelerating the Development of 
Therapies for Anti-Epileptogenesis and Disease Modification 
workshop for which TSC is a model disorder given the ability to 
diagnose TSC prior to onset of epilepsy, and the 2020 Curing 
the Epilepsies workshop which highlighted TSC as one of the 
best opportunities to prevent epilepsy.

                        BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

    The recommendation includes $250,000,000 for buildings and 
facilities. The agreement directs NIH to continue to provide 
quarterly updates of its efforts to develop best practices and 
its maintenance and construction plans for projects whose cost 
exceeds $3,500,000, including any changes to those plans and 
the original baseline estimates for individual projects. It 
also directs NIH to describe in its fiscal year 2023 and future 
Congressional Justifications how the projects requested in its 
budgets tie to its capital planning process, including the 
RFAC's role in determining which projects are selected for 
including in the budget.
    The agreement increases the amount of funding appropriated 
to Institutes and Centers that may be used for repairs and 
improvements from $45,000,000 to $100,000,000 and raises the 
per project cap from $3,500,000 to $5,000,000.

    Behavioral Health Crisis and 988 Coordinating Office.--The 
agreement includes $5,000,000 for the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use to establish an 
office dedicated to the implementation of the 988 National 
Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) and coordination of 
behavioral health crisis care across HHS operating divisions, 
including CMS and HRSA. The office will support technical 
assistance and coordination of the nation's crisis care 
network, the implementation of the 988 Lifeline, and the 
development of a crisis care system with the objective of 
expanding crisis care services and follow-up care, including 
through services provided by Federally Qualified Health 
Centers, Community Mental Health Centers, Certified Community 
Behavioral Health Clinics, and other community providers. 
Additionally, the office will coordinate with first responders 
including the 911 system so that behavioral health crisis 
services are well integrated into emergency care. The agreement 
requests that SAMHSA provide a report to the Committees within 
180 days of enactment of this Act outlining a nationwide crisis 
care system plan of action.
    Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health.--The agreement 
directs SAMHSA to continue to allow a portion of additional 
funds provided for technical assistance to existing grantees, 
to better integrate infant and early childhood mental health 
into State systems.
    Mental Health Awareness Training.--The agreement includes 
an increase and directs SAMHSA 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.
    Mental Health Crisis Response Grants.--The agreement 
includes new crisis response grants as directed in House Report 
117-96.
    National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.--The agreement 
includes an increase to prepare for the launch of a new 988 
number in July 2022, including for specialized services as 
detailed in House Report 117-96. The agreement directs SAMHSA 
to keep the Committees fully apprised of progress toward this 
launch. SAMHSA is directed to provide a briefing with a status 
update within 60 days of enactment of this Act, to provide a 
briefing within 60 days of the launch of 988, and as necessary 
throughout the year.
    Project AWARE.--The agreement includes an increase for 
school-and campus-based mental health services and support. Of 
the amount provided, the agreement directs $12,500,000 for 
grants to support efforts in high-crime, high-poverty areas 
and, in particular, communities that are seeking to address 
relevant impacts and root causes of civil unrest, community 
violence, and collective trauma. The agreement requests SAMHSA 
submit a report to the Committees within 180 days after 
enactment of this Act outlining grantee efforts. The agreement 
recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need 
for school and community-based trauma services for children and 
their families. Accordingly, within this increase, the 
agreement provides $7,000,000 to increase student access to 
evidence-based, culturally relevant, trauma support services 
and mental health care through established partnerships with 
community organizations as authorized by section 7134 of the 
SUPPORT Act (P.L. 115-271).
    Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness 
(PATH).--The agreement recognizes that inadequate housing and 
support opportunities exist for people with serious mental 
illness. The agreement directs SAMHSA to encourage PATH 
grantees to partner with public housing agencies in their 
communities, and to use existing outreach and engagement 
mechanisms to identify, qualify, and select individuals and 
initiate housing support services to meet the individual's 
needs.

                       SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT

    Data Collection Review.--The agreement notes that as drug 
overdose death rates continue to rise, federal data collection 
requirements can present barriers to recipients of Federal 
grant funds that provide services to individuals in need of 
treatment and other services. Data collection is critically 
important in determining the effectiveness of Federal 
investments but should not create new barriers to services. The 
agreement directs SAMHSA to review and update the data 
collection requirements in the Government Performance and 
Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 or otherwise required by SAMHSA 
through rules or regulations for programs administered through 
the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. The agreement directs 
SAMHSA to provide a briefing on the updated GPRA requirements 
to the Committees 90 days after enactment of this Act.
    Rural Opioid Technical Assistance (ROTA) Grants.--The 
agreement is disappointed SAMHSA did not fund an additional 
cohort of ROTA grants in fiscal year 2021 and strongly 
encourages SAMHSA to fund additional grants in fiscal year 
2022.
    State Opioid Response (SOR) Grants.--The agreement provides 
an increase, including for tribes and tribal organizations, and 
directs SAMHSA to provide the Committees with a briefing on 
whether additional flexibility is needed to ensure States are 
able to spend these urgently needed funds. The agreement again 
notes serious 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. When making awards in fiscal year 2022, the 
agreement directs the Assistant Secretary to award funds in a 
manner that avoids funding cliffs between States with similar 
mortality rates. The agreement notes that large swings in 
funding between grant cycles can pose a significant challenge 
for States seeking to maintain programs that were instrumental 
in reducing drug overdose fatalities. The agreement continues 
bill language that directs SAMHSA to submit the formula 
methodology used in calculating SOR grants to the Committees 
not less than 21 days prior to releasing the Funding 
Opportunity Announcement. The agreement continues to direct 
SAMHSA to conduct a yearly evaluation of the program to be 
transmitted to the Committees no later than 180 days after 
enactment and make such an evaluation publicly available on 
SAMHSA's website.
    SOR Overdose Data Report.--The agreement recognizes that 
drug overdose mortality data collection and reporting is 
complex, often with multi-substance use contributing to 
mortality. The agreement encourages SAMHSA to evaluate the data 
used to calculate SOR allocations, including whether accurate, 
State-level data exists for mortality rates for opioid use 
disorders and whether such data should be used to calculate the 
15 percent set aside within SOR.
    Within the total provided for Substance Abuse Treatment 
Programs of Regional and National Significance, the agreement 
includes the following amounts:

    Building Communities of Recovery.--The agreement provides 
an increase for enhanced long-term recovery support principally 
governed by people in recovery from substance use disorders.
    Comprehensive Opioid Recovery Centers.--The agreement 
includes an increase and directs SAMHSA to make the funding 
opportunity available to all eligible entities, as defined in 
section 7121 of the SUPPORT Act (P.L. 115-271).
    First Responder Training.--Of the funding provided, the 
agreement provides $7,500,000 to make awards to rural public 
and non-profit fire and EMS agencies as authorized in the 
Supporting and Improving Rural Emergency Medical Service's 
Needs (SIREN) Act (P.L. 115-334). The agreement notes that the 
fiscal year 2021 grants included award amounts less than the 
maximum amount allowable in order to fund more projects and 
encourages SAMHSA to follow this approach in fiscal year 2022 
to the extent practicable.
    Medication-Assisted Treatment for Prescription Drug and 
Opioid Addiction.--The agreement directs SAMHSA to ensure that 
these grants include as an allowable use the support 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. Within the amount provided, the agreement includes 
$12,000,000 for grants to Indian Tribes, Tribal Organizations, 
or consortia.
    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 Use Disorder Relapse.--The agreement recognizes 
SAMHSA's efforts to address opioid use disorder relapse within 
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.
    Pregnant and Postpartum Women.--The agreement provides an 
increase and again encourages SAMHSA to fund an additional 
cohort of States under the pilot program authorized by the 
Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (P.L. 114-198).
    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.

                       SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION

efforts to encourage at-home prescription drug deactivation and 
disposal and urges SAMHSA to support these types of programs.
    Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking Act (STOP 
Act).--The agreement provides an increase for community-based 
coalition enhancement grants.
    Strategic Prevention Framework-Partnerships for Success 
Program.--The agreement encourages the program to support 
comprehensive, multi-sector substance use prevention strategies 
to stop or delay the age of initiation of each State's top 
three substance use issues for 12 to 18 year old youth as 
determined by the State's epidemiological data. The agreement 
directs SAMHSA to ensure that State alcohol and drug agencies 
remain eligible to apply along with community-based 
organizations and coalitions. SAMHSA is also directed to issue 
a report within 120 days of enactment of this Act assessing the 
extent to which the work of local grantees complements and 
aligns with the primary prevention efforts led by the 
corresponding State alcohol and drug agency.
    Substance Misuse Prevention.--The agreement supports 
efforts to reduce the risks associated with drug use, including 
efforts to avoid drug overdose deaths and the spread of 
diseases such as HIV and hepatitis. However, the agreement 
strongly encourages that funds appropriated for substance 
misuse prevention purposes in the Center for Substance Abuse 
Prevention, as well as the 20 percent prevention set-aside in 
the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant, be 
used only for bona fide substance misuse prevention activities 
and not for any other purpose.

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

    While the agreement does not include dedicated funding to 
expand these activities, the agreement encourages AHRQ to 
continue supporting research on health equity, health system 
innovations responding to COVID-19, improving maternal 
morbidity and mortality State and local data, opioids research, 
research on the use of natural products such as kratom to treat 
pain, and prenatal care for pregnant individuals.
    Antimicrobial Resistance.--The agreement directs AHRQ to 
work with other HHS agencies to provide the briefing described 
under the section of the explanatory statement pertaining to 
the Office of the Secretary.
    Center for Primary Care Research.--The agreement includes 
$2,000,000 to establish the Center for Primary Care Research 
authorized at 42 USC 299b-4(b) and as described under this 
heading in House Report 117-96.
    Diagnostic Errors.--The agreement includes $10,000,000, an 
increase of $8,000,000, for researching diagnostic error and 
associated risks to patient safety.
    Heart Disease Research.--Heart disease is the leading cause 
of death for Americans. Understanding how to reduce the rate of 
cardiac events and to control the metabolic processes that lead 
to such events is needed. The agreement supports AHRQ studying 
and assessing the current evidence for lipid control and 
cardiovascular event reduction, quality measures for the 
improvement of clinical outcomes, and development and 
dissemination of educational resources and materials about 
improving cardiovascular clinical outcomes for coronary heart 
disease death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and 
urgent coronary revascularization procedure.
    Organ Availability.--The agreement urges AHRQ to evaluate 
innovative approaches to enhance the availability of organs, 
otherwise encourage donation, and further improve the organ 
transplantation process, including through consultation with 
other Federal agencies.
    Trafficking Awareness Training for Health Care.--The 
agreement does not include additional funding for this 
activity.

             Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)


                           PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

    Audio-Only Evaluation and Management Services.--The 
agreement requests CMS, in coordination with the Assistant 
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, conduct a review of 
audio-only services delivered during the COVID-19 public health 
emergency, and provide an update on the provision of such 
services in the fiscal year 2023 Congressional Justification.
    Autism Treatment and Services.--The agreement encourages 
CMS to identify the supportive services that are most 
beneficial to improved outcomes for autism patients, and to 
begin reviewing existing coverage policies for these services.
    Computed Tomography (CT) Colonography.--The agreement 
encourages CMS to consider existing evidence to determine 
whether CMS should cover CT Colonography as a Medicare-covered 
colorectal cancer screening test under section 1861(pp)(1) of 
the Social Security Act.
    Diabetes Technology.--The agreement requests a report 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act outlining coverage and 
payment policies for new technologies for individuals with 
diabetes, including hybrid-closed loop technologies.
    Home Visiting.--The agreement directs CMS to build upon its 
2016 Joint Informational Bulletin to clearly articulate how 
Medicaid dollars can be blended and braided appropriately in 
home visiting programs to reach eligible families, provide 
streamlined coverage options for home visiting services, and 
cover specific components of home visiting programs.
    Lowering the Cost of Care.--The agreement encourages the 
Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation to consider creative 
pilot projects that lower the cost of care among older 
Americans and enable individuals who retire overseas to retain 
and utilize their Medicare primary healthcare benefits. The 
pilot should consider potential cost savings involving 
international collaborations where the quality of care is 
comparable and less expensive. CMS shall provide an update on 
this effort in the fiscal year 2024 Congressional 
Justification.
    Measuring Cognitive Impairment.--The agreement directs CMS 
to continue to include questions in the Medicare Current 
Beneficiary Survey pertaining to mild cognitive impairment, 
Alzheimer's, and other related dementias, and to add questions 
on whether beneficiaries have been advised about Alzheimer's 
and dementia care planning services that are covered under 
Medicare. The agreement also encourages CMS to identify actions 
the agency can take within existing authorities to reduce the 
prevalence of dementia and improve early detection.
    Obesity.--The agreement encourages CMS to work to ensure 
beneficiary access to care for obesity if determined as 
clinically appropriate by the patient's physician and 
consistent with statutory and regulatory authority. The 
agreement also encourages CMS to reexamine its Medicare Part B 
national coverage determination for intensive behavioral 
therapy for obesity considering current United States 
Preventive Services Task Force recommendations.
    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. 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.
    Respite Care.--The agreement requests CMS, in consultation 
with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and 
Evaluation, to provide a report to the Committees within 180 
days of the enactment of this Act on the current capacity and 
best practices for the provision of hospice respite care, 
including in the home.
    Rural Hospitals.--The agreement notes that the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) directed CMS to produce 
a report on rural hospital closures within 180 days of 
enactment, which the Committees have not received. The 
agreement directs CMS to provide an update on the report 
requested in fiscal year 2021 and a briefing on rural hospital 
payment policy within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
    Telehealth and the Homeless Population.--The agreement 
directs CMS to identify and share with States best practices 
regarding ways in which telehealth and remote patient 
monitoring can be leveraged through the Medicaid and Medicare 
programs for the homeless. This should include identification 
of barriers to mental health services via telehealth coverage, 
as well as ways to address those barriers.
    Transitional Add-on Payment Adjustment for New and 
Innovative Equipment and Supplies.--The agreement requests an 
update in the fiscal year 2023 Congressional Justification on 
this program.
    Transportation for Dialysis.--The agreement urges CMS to 
delay further implementation of the Prior Authorization of 
Repetitive, Scheduled Non-Emergent Ambulance Transport model 
until it ensures appropriate alternative transportation to 
dialysis services and diabetes-related wound care for low-
income beneficiaries who have no other means of transportation.

                  HEALTH CARE FRAUD AND ABUSE CONTROL

    Department of Justice.--The agreement provides an increase 
of $20,207,000 for the Department of Justice to expand fraud 
and abuse detection efforts.
    Senior Medicare Patrol.--Within the amount provided for 
CMS, the agreement includes $30,000,000 for this program.

             Administration for Children and Families (ACF)


                   LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE

    The agreement includes $1,100,000 in additional technical 
assistance funding for HHS to establish a system to simplify 
the formulation process to enable ACF staff to provide 
estimates more readily when requested by the Committees. Once 
such a system is in place, the agreement instructs HHS to work 
collaboratively with the Committees to promptly respond to 
requests for estimates and to ensure no request shall be 
outstanding for longer than 10 calendar days.

                     REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE

    The agreement notes that the front matter of this 
explanatory statement establishes that language included in 
House Report 117-96 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.
    Confidentiality of Behavioral and Mental Health.--The 
agreement recognizes that unaccompanied children often share 
extensive personal information to case managers, clinicians, or 
other adults while in Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) 
care, and expects ORR and its grantees and contractors to 
protect sensitive personal information, behavioral health 
records, and mental health records consistent with all 
applicable child welfare laws, regulations, and licensing 
requirements.
    Office of the Ombudsperson.--The agreement strongly 
supports efforts to increase and improve independent oversight 
of the Unaccompanied Children program. Accordingly, the 
agreement strongly encourages the Secretary to establish an 
Office of the Ombudsperson to provide independent child-welfare 
focused recommendations to ORR and the Secretary regarding the 
care of unaccompanied children. The agreement requests a 
briefing within 120 days of enactment of this Act on a strategy 
for establishing such an office in accordance with the 
direction in House Report 117-96 and the resources necessary to 
do so.
    Services for Children.--The agreement includes no less than 
$558,000,000 for post-release services, legal services, and 
child advocates. This will allow HHS to expand such services, 
to serve children in ORR's care and children recently released 
from HHS custody, as well as to additional high-release

that were impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, partner with 
current providers to provide additional bed capacity, and 
engage non-governmental organizations and governmental 
jurisdictions to identify ways to expand bed capacity through 
new grants or contracts. The agreement continues to direct HHS 
to prioritize awarding grant or contract funding to licensed, 
community-based placements (including foster care and small

fiscal years 2022-2023 and how these are connected to longer-
term objectives included in the follow-on National Action Plan 
released in October 2020.
    Blood Donor Awareness.--The agreement encourages the 
Secretary to implement Section 3226 of P.L.116-136. In

Mesothelioma is an aggressive asbestos-related malignancy of 
the pleura that is often associated with a poor prognosis. 
While a rare disease, mesothelioma is highly concentrated in 
regions predominated by industries with high exposure to 
asbestos such as shipyards, aluminum plants, and power 
generation. The agreement is concerned with the quality-of-care 
patients with mesothelioma receive from providers with less 
experience treating rare malignancies. Without sufficient 
expertise there can be delays in diagnoses and use of outdated 
therapies. The agreement urges the Department to support 
comprehensive mesothelioma therapy programs in regional 
hospitals in areas of the country with exceptionally high rates 
of mesothelioma. High quality programs deliver focused, 
individualized treatment, by using a comprehensive approach

ongoing projects. The report shall include the following for 
each project: agency project is funded under; a description for 
each project; the date the project was notified to the 
Committees; total obligations to date; obligations for the 
prior fiscal year; anticipated obligations for current fiscal 
year; and any expected future obligations. For any project 
ongoing more than 3 years, the report should include a 
narrative describing the cause for delay and steps being taken 
by the agency to ensure prompt completion.
    Obligation Reports.--The agreement directs the Secretary to

potential discrimination in high-risk populations during COVID-
19 and for working collaboratively with States to ensure State 
guidelines reflect best practices for serving individuals with 
disabilities and older adults.
    Rapid HIV Self-Test.--Rapid HIV self-testing can play an 
important role towards meeting the public health objectives 
outlined by the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative, 
particularly in regards to rural and otherwise hard to reach 
populations. HHS is encouraged to incorporate rapid HIV self-
testing into emerging efforts.
    Stillbirth Task Force.--The agreement provides $750,000 for 
this activity as described under this heading in House Report 
117-96.

Office of the President, the Department of Agriculture, and 
other Federal agencies--and in consultation with State, 
territories, local, and Tribal officials, and a diverse group 
of interested parties from across the country, including anti-
hunger, nutrition, and health experts; the private sector; and 
people with lived experience of hunger and nutrition 
insecurity. The conference should examine why hunger and 
nutrition insecurity persist and how they affect health, 
including their role in the high prevalence of chronic disease. 
It should also review existing and cross-departmental 
strategies and consider new approaches to improve health by 
eliminating hunger, reducing the prevalence of chronic disease,

                               TITLE III


                        DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


                      School Improvement Programs

    Alaska Native Education Equity.--The Department is directed 
to make every effort to ensure that grants are awarded well in 
advance of the school year, to maximize grantees' ability to 
hire the necessary staff and have their programs in place by 
the start of Alaska's school year in mid-August. The Department 
is directed to ensure that Alaska Native Tribes, Alaska Native 
regional non-profits, and Alaska Native corporations have the 
maximum opportunity to compete successfully for grants under 
this program by providing these entities multiple opportunities 
for technical assistance in developing successful applications 
for these funds, both in Alaska and through various forms of 
telecommunications. Finally, the Department is encouraged to 
include as many peer reviewers as possible who have experience 
with Alaska Native education and Alaska generally on each peer 
review panel.
    Rural Education.--The agreement directs the Department, in 
collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau, to provide a 
briefing and related material for the authorizing and 
appropriations Committees of Congress within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act that includes: analysis of the accuracy 
and effectiveness of U.S. Census Bureau's Small Area Income and 
Poverty Estimates as a measurement of student enrollment from 
families with incomes below the poverty line for the Rural and 
Low-Income School (RLIS) and Small Rural Schools Achievement 
programs; analysis of the accuracy and effectiveness of other 
poverty measurements, including State-provided poverty data for 
measuring student enrollment from families with incomes below 
the poverty line for the RLIS and Small Rural Schools 
Achievement programs; and any recommendations for improving 
measurements of poverty in rural local educational agencies 
(LEAs).
    Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants Technical 
Assistance and Capacity Building.--The reservation for 
technical assistance (TA) and capacity building should be used 
to support state educational agencies (SEAs) and LEAs in 
carrying out authorized activities under this program 
identified by SEAs and LEAs, which may include support for 
fostering school diversity efforts across and within school 
districts. The Department is directed to prioritize its TA and 
capacity building support for SEAs and LEAs seeking to address 
such school diversity needs. In future Congressional 
Justifications, the Department shall continue to provide 
current and planned expenditures for this reservation and 
include a plan for how resources will be spent to provide TA 
and to build the capacity of SEAs and LEAs.

                            Indian Education

    National Activities.--The increase for National Activities 
will support additional awards under a new Native American 
Language Immersion competition and a new award under the State-
Tribal Education Partnership program for up to five years.
    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, and including continuation awards, the agreement 
includes $82,000,000 to provide grants for social and emotional 
learning (SEL) and $82,000,000 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. To fulfill both set-asides, the 
agreement supports the prioritization of high-quality SEL and 
STEM proposals for both the early- and mid-phase evidence 
tiers. The agreement encourages the Department to take steps 
necessary to ensure the statutory set-aside for rural areas is 
met and that EIR funds are awarded to diverse geographic areas. 
The agreement expects the remainder of EIR funds to continue to 
support diverse and field-initiated interventions, rather than 
a single nationwide program or award focused solely on one area 
of educational innovation.
    Not less than two weeks before the publication of a notice 
of proposed priorities or a notice inviting applications, the 
Department is directed to brief the Committees on plans for 
carrying out an EIR competition. In addition, the Department 
shall provide a briefing and notice of grant awards to the 
Committees at least seven days before grantees are announced.
    Statewide Family Engagement Centers.--The agreement 
provides increased funding for the Department to make new 
awards to States under this program that prioritize the use of 
funds for evidence-based activities and focus on underserved 
students.
    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 through 
a competitive preference priority (CPP). The share of maximum 
points for the SEL CPP, out of the total maximum CPP points in 
the fiscal year 2022 competition, should be no less than the 
share of CPP points the SEL priority represented in the fiscal 
year 2020 competition.
    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 continue to include an absolute 
priority to support the preparation of principals and other 
school leaders in the fiscal year 2022 competition.
    Not less than two weeks before the publication of a notice 
of proposed priorities or a notice inviting applications, the 
Department is directed to brief the Committees on plans for 
carrying out a SEED competition. In addition, the Department 
shall provide a briefing and notice of grant awards to the 
Committees at least seven days before grantees are announced.
    Arts in Education National Program.--The Department is 
directed to adhere to the applicable requirements of ESEA, 
including the statutory priority for eligible national 
nonprofit organizations ``of national scope'', in administering 
this competition. The Secretary is directed to award prior 
experience points to applicants that have conducted an Arts in 
Education National Program project during budget periods 2018-
19, 2019-20, and 2020-21.
    Community Project Funding/Congressional Directed 
Spending.--The agreement includes $140,480,000 for the 
projects, and in the amounts, specified in the table 
``Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending'' 
included in this explanatory statement accompanying this 
division.

                 Safe Schools and Citizenship Education


School Safety National Activities

    The agreement includes $201,000,000 for national 
activities, an increase of $95,000,000 which shall be used by 
the Department as described in this statement. If non-
competitive continuation awards are lower than anticipated, or 
resources become available for another reason, the Department 
is directed to use funds only for activities described in this 
statement or for Project SERV.
    Not less than two weeks before the publication of a notice 
of proposed priorities or a notice inviting applications, the 
Department is directed to brief the Committees on plans for 
carrying out any new competition funded within School Safety 
National Activities. In addition, the Department shall provide 
a briefing and notice of grant awards to the Committees at 
least seven days before grantees are announced.
    Project Prevent.--The agreement includes $5,000,000 for new 
awards for Project Prevent grants to increase the capacity of 
LEAs to serve students exposed to violence in their 
communities.
    School-based Mental Health Professionals.--The agreement 
includes $55,000,000, an increase of $45,000,000 over the 
fiscal year 2021 enacted level, for the Mental Health Services 
Professional Demonstration Grants program established in the 
Department of Education Appropriations Act, 2019 and 
$56,000,000, an increase of $45,000,000 over the fiscal year 
2021 enacted level for the School-Based Mental Health Services 
Grants program established in the Department of Education 
Appropriations Act, 2020.
    The agreement does not expand the scope of these grants to 
include school nurses; however, the agreement helps address 
these urgent needs through increased support for School-based 
Health Centers administered by the Health Resources & Services 
Administration.

Promise Neighborhoods

    The agreement provides a portion of funds for the first 
year of two-year extension grants to high quality Promise 
Neighborhood programs that have demonstrated positive and 
promising results through their initial implementation grant to 
strengthen grantee community's abilities to scale city and 
regional reinvestment strategies and allow for direct pipeline 
services. The Department shall provide a briefing on 
implementation plans for the Promise Neighborhoods program not 
later than 14 days prior to issuing a notice inviting 
applications for new awards or extension grants.

                           Special Education

    Education Materials in Accessible Formats for Students with 
Visual Impairments.--The agreement provides no less than 
$9,000,000 for a new Educational Materials in Accessible 
Formats for Children and Students with Visual Impairments and 
Print Disabilities competition. The Department is encouraged to 
continue to expand this program's reach to K-12 students in 
underserved areas, further support eligible students enrolled 
in postsecondary schools, and expand or enhance models for 
postsecondary schools to produce and disseminate accessible 
educational materials and textbooks that align with the key 
recommendations from the Advisory Commission on Accessible 
Instructional Materials in Postsecondary Education for Students 
with Disabilities.

                        Rehabilitation Services

    Disability Innovation Fund (DIF).--The agreement provides 
that up to 15 percent of the amounts available for the DIF may 
be used for evaluation and technical assistance. The agreement 
requests the Department submit a plan to the Committees for 
proposed evaluation and technical assistance activities within 
90 days of enactment of this Act. In addition, the Departments 
of Education and Labor 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 DIF funds and provide 
updates annually thereafter on implementation.
    Community Project Funding/Congressional Directed 
Spending.--The agreement includes $2,325,000 for the projects, 
and in the amounts, specified in the table ``Community Project 
Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending'' included in this 
explanatory statement accompanying this division.

           Special Institutions for Persons with Disabilities

    American Printing House for the Blind.--The agreement 
includes $6,000,000, an increase of $3,000,000, 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 $9,500,000, an increase of $3,000,000, to 
continue and expand NTID's current Regional STEM Center.
    Gallaudet University.--The agreement includes $6,500,000, 
an increase of $3,000,000, to continue and expand the current 
regional partnership through the Early Learning Acquisition 
Project.

                 Career, Technical, and Adult Education

    Adult Education National Leadership Activities.--The 
agreement encourages the Department to support technical 
assistance that will help build the evidence-base of adult 
education programs, including supporting States in prioritizing 
rigorously evaluated programs.

                      Student Financial Assistance

    Pell Grants.--The agreement increases the maximum award by 
$400, to a total, including discretionary and mandatory 
funding, of $6,895 in academic year 2022-2023.
    Federal Work Study.--Within the total for Federal Work 
Study, the agreement includes $10,829,000, for the Work 
Colleges program authorized under section 448 of the Higher 
Education Act (HEA).

                       Student Aid Administration

    Student Loan Servicing.--The agreement includes 
$2,033,943,000 for Student Aid Administration. Over the last 
several years, Congress has provided significant funding to 
support the implementation of the Next Gen initiative and the 
move towards a long-term servicing solution. While some 
progress has been made to improve loan servicing for borrowers, 
there is still no long-term servicing solution in place. 
Therefore the agreement continues to include bill language 
requiring the Office of Federal Student Aid to submit a 
detailed spend plan of anticipated uses of funds and to provide 
quarterly updates on its progress towards fulfilling the spend 
plan. The agreement also continues a provision to provide, at a 
minimum, quarterly briefings to the authorizing and 
appropriations committees on progress related to solicitations 
for Federal student loan servicing contracts.

                            Higher Education


International Education and Foreign Language Studies

    Domestic Programs.--The agreement includes no less than 
$500,000 to establish a Native American Language Resource 
Center under the Language Resource sections 601 and 603 of the 
HEA to be administered by the Office of Indian Education.

Minority Science and Engineering Improvement

    The agreement is supportive of efforts by the Department to 
prioritize awards to HBCUs for the establishment of Aviation 
and Aerotechnology programs.

Federal TRIO Programs

    The agreement directs the Department to allocate increases 
to each TRIO program, which may include funding down the slate 
of unfunded high-quality applications from the Student Support 
Services competition held in fiscal years 2020 and Talent 
Search and Educational Opportunity Centers competitions in 
fiscal year 2021. Further, such grantees shall be eligible for 
prior experience points for demonstrated performance outcomes 
in subsequent competitions. The agreement directs the 
Department to include estimated funding for each TRIO program 
in the operating plan required under section 516 of this Act.

GEAR UP

    In addition to the directives included under this heading 
in House Report 117-96, in making new awards, the Department 
shall ensure that not less than 33 percent of the new award 
funds are allocated to State awards, and that not less than 33 
percent of the new award funds are allocated to Partnerships 
awards, as described in section 404(b) of the HEA.

Child Care Access Means Parents in Schools (CCAMPIS)

    The agreement lifts the statutory cap on grant awards to 
institutions of higher education, to more accurately reflect 
the costs of providing high-quality, convenient child care 
options for students. The agreement encourages the Department 
to consider using a portion of these funds to provide 
supplemental grants to current grantees, consistent with a 
higher grant award cap.

Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE)

    The agreement includes $76,000,000 for FIPSE which shall be 
used by the Department as described in this statement. If non-
competitive continuation awards are lower than anticipated, or 
resources become available for another reason, the Department 
is directed to use funds only for activities described in this 
statement.

Act.
    Transitioning Gang-Involved Youth to Higher Education.--The 
agreement includes $1,500,000 for this activity described under 
this heading in House Report 117-96.
    National Center for College Students with Disabilities.--
The National Center for College Students with Disabilities 
should continue to provide technical assistance and best 
practice information about disability as students transition to 
institutions of higher education, collect information and 
research on disability services on college campuses, and report 
to the Department about the status of college students with

the current assessment schedule for the National Assessment of 
Educational Progress, including administration in 2022 of the 
Civics and U.S. History assessment in 8th grade at the national 
level; necessary research and development needed to maintain 
assessment quality, integrity and continuity, and achieve 
efficiencies; and maintain plans for the administration of a 
State-level Civics assessment in future years. The National 
Assessment Governing Board and IES should continue to consult 
with the authorizing and appropriations committees of Congress

and upgrades of its assessment program. Further, the agreement 
directs the Department to describe implemented and planned 
strategies for cost efficiencies and necessary research and 
development projects in future Congressional Justifications.
    National Board for Education Sciences (NBES).--The 
agreement notes that NBES has been without members for an 
extended timeframe; as a consequence, NBES has been unable to 
fulfill key statutory duties such as providing recommendations 
to the Director of IES on strengthening education research, 
relevance and use, and regularly evaluating the work of the 
Institute. The agreement requests the Department provide 
information in future Congressional Justifications regarding 
its plans for NBES.
    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

    Centers for Interconnected Behavioral and Mental Health 
Systems.--The agreement urges the Department to work with the 
Department of Health and Human Services to support expanded 
access to mental health services for children and adolescents, 
including through school-based health centers. The Department 
should consider how regional research centers on positive 
behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) and school-based 
mental health services could work with the existing National 
Technical Assistance Center on PBIS and existing school-based 
health centers across the country to support such expanded 
access, including through the study and greater of 
implementation of the Interconnected Systems Framework. The 
Department should be prepared to discuss its plans during 
hearings on the fiscal year 2023 budget held by the Committees.
    ESEA Per Pupil Spending Reporting.--The Department is 
directed to continue efforts to support the ESEA requirement 
for per-pupil expenditure reporting for all States and school 
districts in the Nation. The agreement requests an update on 
these efforts in the next Congressional Justification, which 
should include actions taken and planned to support the full 
implementation of this requirement and efforts to improve the 
accessibility, quality, and utility of this information.
    Menstrual Hygiene Products.--The agreement encourages the 
Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of 
Health and Human Services, to provide technical assistance and 
share best practices with institutions of higher education 
seeking to expand access to menstrual products for

directed to provide a briefing to the Committees and 
authorizing committees not later than 180 days after enactment 
of this Act on the Department's plans to support the 
organizational responsibilities among its Office of Elementary 
and Secondary Education and Office of English Language 
Acquisition to improve support for English learners and their 
educators, including through federal technical assistance. The 
Department is expected to be prepared to identify plans for 
supporting effective instructional educational programs, 
including bilingual and dual language approaches, implemented 
at the discretion of SEAs and LEAs and addressing the needs of 
English learners (ELs) who are also older students, classified 
as ELs for an extended amount of years, and ELs who are also 
students with disabilities.
    School Improvement.--The Department is directed to provide 
a briefing to the Committees and authorizing committees not 
later than 90 days after enactment of this Act on the 
Department's actions and plans for addressing the challenges 
identified in GAO's report on school improvement and assisting

SSA's administrative expenses.
    Disability Backlogs.--The agreement recognizes that the 
pandemic disrupted progress SSA made with its disability 
hearings backlog. The agreement notes the adverse impacts 
disability hearings backlogs have on an individual's ability to 
access their Social Security benefits. Accordingly, the 
agreement urges the Commissioner to prioritize the hiring of 
administrative law judges and requisite staff to adjudicate 
backlogged claims. In addition, the agreement directs the 
Commissioner to continue to prioritize efforts to reduce wait 
time disparities across the country by directing resources and 
workload assistance, as necessary, to areas with greatest need. 
Further, the agreement requests quarterly reports on efforts to 
reduce the hearings backlog for Hearing Offices in the bottom 
twenty of national ranking by average processing time.
    The pandemic has also contributed to a backlog of initial 
disability claims that also has significant negative impacts on 
individuals waiting on their Social Security benefits, and that 
will only put more pressure on the disability hearings process 
in future years. The agreement requests a briefing within 90 
days of enactment of this Act, and quarterly thereafter, on 
SSA's plan for reducing the initial disability claims and 
hearings backlogs, including estimates of the resources needed 
to do so.

Research Consortium (RDRC).--The agreement directs SSA to 
increase funding at all four centers to allow for an increase 
in the number of projects across the RDRCs.
    Improving Ticket to Work Administration and Reducing 
Overpayments.--The agreement supports agency efforts to improve 
administrative processes that reduce overpayments, including in 
the Ticket to Work program, which can create significant 
challenges as beneficiaries attempt to return to work. SSA is 
directed to brief the Committees within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act on planned efforts in this area.
    Mailing Paper Statements.--The agreement urges SSA to mail 
paper statements to all contributors aged 25 and older in 
accordance with Section 1143 of the Social Security Act.

                   OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL (OIG)

    Combating Social Security Impersonation Scams.--According 
to the SSA OIG, there has been a significant increase in Social 
Security impersonation scams in recent years. While the OIG has 
made progress in combating these scams, the agreement 
encourages the OIG to continue to prioritize working with SSA 
to increase awareness of this scam and to pursue the criminals 
perpetrating this fraud.
