       DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2020

       The following is an explanation of the effects of this Act, 
     which makes appropriations for the Department of Defense for 
     fiscal year 2020. Unless otherwise noted, references to the 
     House and Senate reports are to House Report 116-84 and 
     Senate Report 116-103, respectively. The language contained 
     in the House and Senate reports warrant full compliance and 
     carry the same weight as language included in this 
     explanatory statement unless specifically addressed to the 
     contrary in the bill or this explanatory statement. While 
     repeating some language from the House or Senate reports for 
     emphasis, this explanatory statement does not intend to 
     negate the language referred to above unless expressly 
     provided herein.


              DEFINITION OF PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY

       For the purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177), as amended 
     by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
     Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119), and by the 
     Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), the 
     terms ``program, project, and activity'' for appropriations 
     contained in this Act shall be defined as the most specific 
     level of budget items identified in the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 2020, the related classified annexes and 
     explanatory statements, and the P-1 and R-1 budget 
     justification documents as subsequently modified by 
     congressional action.
       The following exception to the above definition shall 
     apply: the military personnel and the operation and 
     maintenance accounts, for which the term ``program, project, 
     and activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts 
     contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act.
       At the time the President submits the budget request for 
     fiscal year 2021, the Secretary of Defense is directed to 
     transmit to the congressional defense committees budget 
     justification documents to be known as the ``M-1'' and the 
     ``O-1'' which shall identify, at the budget activity, 
     activity group, and sub-activity group level, the amounts 
     requested by the President to be appropriated to the 
     Department of Defense for military personnel and operation 
     and maintenance in any budget request, or amended budget 
     request, for fiscal year 2021.


  REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR BASE AND OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS 
                                FUNDING

       The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow 
     the reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts as 
     specified in the report accompanying the House version of the 
     Department of Defense Appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 
     2008 (House Report 110-279). The dollar threshold for 
     reprogramming funds shall be $10,000,000 for military 
     personnel; operation and maintenance; procurement; and 
     research, development, test and evaluation.
       Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is 
     directed to continue to provide the congressional defense 
     committees annual DD Form 1416 reports for titles I and II 
     and quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for 
     Service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of 
     this Act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with 
     guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying 
     the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006. The 
     Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior 
     approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 
     dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or 
     research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is 
     less. These thresholds are cumulative from the base for 
     reprogramming value as modified by any adjustments. 
     Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into or out of 
     a military personnel (M-1); an operation and maintenance (O-
     1); a procurement (P-1); or a research, development, test and 
     evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the 
     Secretary of Defense must submit a prior approval 
     reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In 
     addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval 
     reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest 
     items are established elsewhere in this statement.


                           FUNDING INCREASES

       The funding increases outlined in the tables for each 
     appropriation account shall be provided only for the specific 
     purposes indicated in the tables.


                  CONGRESSIONAL SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

       Items for which additional funds have been provided or 
     items for which funding is specifically reduced as shown in 
     the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase 
     ``only for'' or ``only to'' are congressional special 
     interest items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming 
     (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD 
     Form 1414 at the stated amount, as specifically addressed in 
     the explanatory statement.

                            CLASSIFIED ANNEX

       Adjustments to classified programs are addressed in the 
     accompanying classified annex.


                JOINT ENTERPRISE DEFENSE INFRASTRUCTURE

       The agreement notes that the Chief Information Officer of 
     the Department of Defense has provided the report required in 
     House Report 116-84 regarding the Department's plans to 
     transition to a multi-cloud environment and satisfied the 
     conditions that prohibited the obligation and expenditure of 
     funds to migrate data and applications to the Joint 
     Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud.
       The agreement retains a requirement in House Report 116-84 
     requiring the Chief Information Officer of the Department of 
     Defense to submit quarterly reports on the implementation of 
     its cloud strategy.


                              MILCLOUD 2.0

       It is understood that the Department of Defense is 
     currently operating milCloud 2.0, a commercially-owned and 
     operated cloud that is housed in two Defense Information 
     Systems Agency data centers, that offers cloud-based 
     infrastructure, platform, and software as-a-service 
     solutions. In May 2018, the Chief Information Officer of the 
     Department of Defense distributed a memorandum directing all 
     Fourth Estate agencies to migrate to milCloud 2.0. Per this 
     direction, the Department of Defense is encouraged to 
     complete migration to milCloud 2.0 by the end of fiscal year 
     2020.


      SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND OBLIGATION AND EXPENDITURE PLANS

       The existing budget justification and quarterly execution 
     data lack certain details to analyze trends and program 
     office performance. To facilitate appropriate oversight, the 
     Commander of the United States Special Operations Command is 
     directed to provide the House and Senate Appropriations 
     Committees detailed spend plans at the project level for the 
     procurement and research and development appropriations 
     accounts. The spend plans shall include all active fiscal 
     years, with monthly obligation and target benchmarks. The 
     first spend plan should be provided not later than 45 days 
     after the enactment of this Act, and subsequent spend plans 
     should be provided annually with the submission of the budget 
     request.


                           CIVILIAN PAY RAISE

       The agreement recognizes the value of the Department of 
     Defense civilian workforce and acknowledges the 3.1 percent 
     federal pay raise for all federal civilian employees.


                                 F-15EX

       The agreement includes $1,052,900,000 for eight F-15EX 
     fighters and transfers $364,400,000 from Aircraft 
     Procurement, Air Force to Research, Development, Test and 
     Evaluation, Air Force for the procurement of two test 
     aircraft and half of the requested amount for non-recurring 
     engineering. Of the funds provided in Aircraft Procurement, 
     Air Force for the remaining six F-15EX aircraft, no more than 
     $64,800,000 for long-lead materials may be obligated until 
     the Secretary of the Air Force submits a report to the 
     congressional defense committees with the following 
     documentation, or the milestone C-equivalents under Section 
     804 middle tier acquisition authority, to include an approved 
     program acquisition strategy; a capability production 
     document; a life-cycle cost estimate; a life-cycle 
     sustainment plan; a test and evaluation master plan; and a 
     post-production fielding strategy. Additionally, the 
     Secretary of the Air Force is directed to include F-15EX 
     program updates and progress towards critical milestones in 
     the Section 804 triannual reports to Congress. Finally, the 
     Secretary of the Air Force is directed to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than 60 days after 
     the enactment of this Act a report with a comprehensive 
     review of options to address the Air Force fighter capacity 
     shortfall. This language replaces the language under the 
     heading ``F-15EX'' in Senate Report 116-103.

                      TITLE I--MILITARY PERSONNEL

       The agreement provides $150,262,882,000 in Title I, 
     Military Personnel, as follows:

            OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

       Items for which additional funds have been provided or have 
     been specifically reduced as shown in the project level 
     tables or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or 
     ``only to'' in the explanatory statement are congressional 
     special interest items for the purpose of the Base for 
     Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be 
     carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount as 
     specifically addressed in the explanatory statement. Below 
     Threshold Reprogrammings may not be used to either restore or 
     reduce funding from congressional special interest items as 
     identified on the DD Form 1414.


                               90/10 RULE

       The agreement adopts the reporting requirements contained 
     under the heading ``90/10 Rule'' in House Report 116-84 but 
     changes the submission date to not later than 180 days after 
     the enactment of this Act. Further, the Secretary of Defense 
     is directed to work collaboratively with the Secretaries of 
     Education and Veterans Affairs on an authoritative data set 
     that includes the total funding level to each for-profit 
     institution for the most recent academic year from all 
     sources provided by the Departments of Education, Veterans 
     Affairs, and Defense to more accurately derive estimates for 
     the reporting requirement to the congressional committees.


                   DEFENSE PERSONAL PROPERTY PROGRAM

       The agreement supports the desire and commitment of the 
     United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) to improve 
     the current system for the movement of personal effects 
     within the Department of Defense. However, concerns over 
     USTRANSCOM's plan to award a single source contract remain. 
     Therefore, in addition to any other requirements, this 
     agreement directs that no such single source award may be 
     signed before April 1, 2020; and before the Commander of 
     USTRANSCOM has provided the congressional defense committees 
     with a description of anticipated cost savings broken out by 
     Service across the Future Years Defense Program.


                              WIND ENERGY

       The agreement does not adopt the language under the heading

                  PRIVATE CONTRACTED SHIP MAINTENANCE

       The agreement includes a pilot program to fund the private 
     contract ship maintenance planned for the Pacific Fleet in 
     fiscal year 2020 in Other Procurement, Navy, as proposed in 
     Senate Report 116-103. The funding in Other Procurement, Navy 
     line 23x Ship Maintenance, Repair and Modernization shall 
     only be for such activities executed in the United States and 
     is hereby designated a congressional special interest item. 
     The Secretary of the Navy shall provide the congressional 
     defense committees the following in relation to the pilot--
       1. An execution plan for the funding in Other Procurement, 
     Navy line 23x, Ship Maintenance, Repair and Modernization. 
     This shall be submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees prior to the execution of funding and shall 
     include the following data points for each ship included in 
     the pilot program:
       a. Ship class, hull number and name of each ship;
       b. Type of availability;
       c. Location of the work;
       d. Execution plan start date;
       e. Execution plan end date; and
       f. Execution plan funded amount (in thousands).
       2. Not later than 15 days after the end of each fiscal 
     quarter, an updated plan to the first report showing:
       a. Ship class, hull number and name of each ship;
       b. Type of availability;
       c. Location of the work;
       d. Actual or current estimate of start date;
       e. Actual or current estimate of end date;
       f. Actual funded amount and estimate to complete (in 
     thousands); and
     the quarterly update shall also include an execution review 
     of the funding in line 1B4B Ship Depot Maintenance in 
     Operation and Maintenance, Navy.


 ANALYSIS OF AIRCRAFT CARRIER, SURFACE SHIP, AND SUBMARINE MAINTENANCE 
                                 DELAYS

       Completing maintenance on time is integral to supporting 
     fleet readiness, meeting strategic and operational 
     requirements, and ensuring the Navy's ships reach their 
     expected service lives. From numerous reports, the Navy 
     continues to face persistent maintenance delays that affect 
     the majority of its maintenance efforts and threaten its 
     attempt to restore readiness. Since fiscal year 2014, Navy 
     ships have spent over 27,000 more days in maintenance than 
     expected, with 70 percent of maintenance periods on average 
     experiencing delays. There is some preliminary evidence that 
     the Navy has begun pilot efforts to analyze maintenance 
     challenges for some elements of the fleet. However, these 
     efforts are not comprehensively examining the root causes of 
     delays across the entire fleet. Further, absent such an 
     analysis, the Navy is not well positioned to develop a plan 
     to address its persistent maintenance delays.
       To address these issues, the Secretary of the Navy is 
     directed to assign responsibility to conduct a comprehensive 
     and systematic analysis to identify the underlying causes of 
     aircraft carrier, surface ship, and submarine maintenance 
     delays and submit a report on its findings not later than 180 
     days after the enactment of this Act to the congressional 
     defense committees and to the Government Accountability 
     Office. This report shall incorporate results-oriented 
     elements, including analytically-based goals; metrics to 
     measure progress; and the identification of required 
     resources, risks, and stakeholders to achieve those goals. 
     The Secretary of the Navy shall update the congressional 
     defense committees annually thereafter on its progress to 
     achieve the goals set forth in the plan. Further, the 
     Comptroller General of the United States is directed to 
     submit a review of the report to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than 90 days after receiving the report 
     from the Navy.


                               JET NOISE

       Communities situated around military installations with 
     airfields have expressed concerns of the negative effects 
     that jet noise may have on them. It is acknowledged that 
     modeling aircraft noise, as opposed to measuring it, provides 
     the most accurate assessment of impacts on a community. 
     Therefore, the Secretary of the Navy is directed to model the 
     level of jet noise generated by Navy aviation assets and to 
     make that data available to the public.

        DEFENSE LANGUAGE AND NATIONAL SECURITY EDUCATION OFFICE

       The Defense Language and National Security Education Office 
     provides critical college accredited training for service 
     members and government officials in a number of languages and 
     strategic cultures in partnership with universities across 
     the country. A report provided by the Department of Defense 
     in response to language included in the report accompanying 
     the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public 
     Law 115-245) regarding the Department's ability to fill 
     positions requiring high level strategic language capability 
     reflects the clear and demonstrable need for increased 
     resources. The Secretary of Defense is encouraged to place a 
     higher priority on the Language Training Centers and the 
     Language Flagship strategic language training program. The 
     agreement designates the funding included in the fiscal year 
     2020 budget request for the Language Training Centers as a 
     congressional special interest item.
       It is further noted that funding for the Language Flagship 
     program has not been increased since its inception in 2003 
     and the Secretary of Defense is urged to provide additional 
     resources to the Language Flagship program that ensure both 
     military and civilian personnel receive the language and 
     culture training needed to effectively complete missions. 
     Additionally, the Secretary of Defense is directed to 
     identify additional resources that may be required to address 
     existing shortfalls in this skillset.


                      SECURITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

       Prior to the initial obligation of funds made available in

     Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the Director of DSCA is directed 
     to submit a spend plan by budget activity and sub-activity to 
     the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. For funds 
     planned for the Security Cooperation Account, the Director 
     shall, in coordination with the geographic combatant 
     commanders, include amounts planned for each combatant 
     command and country, and a comparison to such amounts 
     provided in the previous three fiscal years. Amounts in the 
     plan shall only reflect those amounts designated in the 
     fiscal year 2020 budget justification materials and modified 
     by fiscal year 2020 appropriations adjustments in this Act 
     and in the table under this heading for DSCA. The plan shall 
     be updated and submitted to the House and Senate 
     Appropriations Committees upon notification of funds under 
     this heading to include a justification for changes made. A 
     similar plan shall be provided to such Committees outlining 
     funds requested for fiscal year 2021 with the submission of 
     the fiscal year 2021 budget request.


               INDO-PACIFIC STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK AND PLAN

            REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

      (INCLUDING BASE AND OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS FUNDING)

       The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow 
     the reprogramming guidance as specified in the report 
     accompanying the House version of the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2008 (House Report 110-
     279). Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming 
     funds shall be $10,000,000 for procurement and research, 
     development, test and evaluation.
       Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is 
     directed to continue to provide the congressional defense 
     committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports 
     for Service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of 
     this Act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with the 
     guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying 
     the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006. The 
     Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior 
     approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 
     dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or 
     research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is 
     less. These thresholds are cumulative from the base for 
     reprogramming value as modified by any adjustments. 
     Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into or out of 
     a procurement (P-1) or research, development, test and 
     evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the 
     Secretary of Defense must submit a prior approval 
     reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In 
     addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval 
     reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest 
     items are established elsewhere in this statement.


                           FUNDING INCREASES

       The funding increases outlined in these tables shall be 
     provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the 
     tables.


                   PROCUREMENT SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

       Items for which additional funds have been recommended or 
     items for which funding is specifically reduced as shown in 
     the project level tables detailing recommended adjustments or 
     in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' in 
     the explanatory statement are congressional special interest 
     items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 
     1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 
     1414 at the stated amount, as specifically addressed 
     elsewhere in the explanatory statement.


                JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER PRIOR YEAR SAVINGS

       The recent Lot 12-14 contract agreement for procurement of 
     the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter resulted in substantial savings 
     from prior year appropriations due to declining unit costs. 
     The agreement preserves $250,400,000 of this savings within 
     the Aircraft Procurement, Navy and Aircraft Procurement, Air 
     Force accounts for fiscal years 2018 and 2019 in order to 
     fund the alternate sourcing of F-35 parts manufactured in the 
     Republic of Turkey. In addition, the agreement preserves 
     $322,563,000 in the same accounts for reinvestments 
     identified by the Director of the F-35 Joint Program Office 
     to support future cost reductions and more efficient 
     sustainment and to convert F-35As, previously designated for 
     Turkey, for United States Air Force use.


                    JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER SPARES DATA

       The agreement provides $757,471,000 in additional spares 
     for all three variants of the Joint Strike Fighter. The 
     Secretary of Defense is directed to not obligate or expend 
     more than 50 percent of these funds until 15 days after the 
     Director of the F-35 Joint Program Office submits to the 
     congressional defense committees a certification that the 
     Department of Defense has submitted a formal request for 
     proposal (RFP) for provisioning and cataloguing data to the 
     F-35 prime contractor, and that the RFP has been coordinated 
     with the prime contractor for delivery of a proposal by the 
     end of calendar year 2020. Additionally, the Secretary of 
     Defense is further directed to include the costs of acquiring 
     these data, as applicable, in future budget exhibits and 
     briefing materials for the congressional defense committees 
     beginning with the fiscal year 2021 budget submission. This 
     language replaces the language under the heading 
     ``Positioning the F-35 Program for Continued Success'' in 
     House Report 116-84.

                         FFG(X) FRIGATE PROGRAM

       There remain concerns with the dependence of the Department 
     of the Navy to source surface ship components from foreign 
     industry partners rather than promote a robust domestic 
     industrial base. The agreement amends a legislative provision 
     included in H.R. 2740 to allow the Secretary of the Navy to 
     procure certain components for the FFG(X) Frigate program 
     from non-United States suppliers with the direction that 
     United States manufactured propulsion engines and propulsion 
     reduction gears must be incorporated into the program not 
     later than with the eleventh ship of the Frigate class.
       Furthermore, the Secretary of the Navy is directed to 
     conduct a study on the impacts of incorporating United States 
     manufactured propulsion engines and propulsion reduction 
     gears into the FFG(X) Frigate program prior to the eleventh 
     ship, and to submit the study to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than 180 days after the contract award 
     of the FFG(X) Frigate. The study shall include estimates of 
     potential changes to the acquisition schedule and any 
     associated costs with incorporating domestically produced 
     propulsion equipment into the FFG(X) Frigate program with the 
     fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, and eleventh ship of the 
     program.
       Additionally, the Secretary of the Navy is encouraged to 
     support a robust domestic industrial base with more stringent 
     contract requirements in future surface ship classes.

            REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

      (INCLUDING BASE AND OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS FUNDING)

       The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow 
     the reprogramming guidance as specified in the report 
     accompanying the House version of the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2008 (House Report 110-
     279). Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming 
     funds shall be $10,000,000 for procurement and research, 
     development, test and evaluation.
       Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is 
     directed to continue to provide the congressional defense 
     committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports 
     for Service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of 
     this Act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with the 
     guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying 
     the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006. The 
     Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior 
     approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 
     dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or 
     research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is 
     less. These thresholds are cumulative from the base for 
     reprogramming value as modified by any adjustments. 
     Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into or out of 
     a procurement (P-1) or research, development, test and 
     evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the 
     Secretary of Defense must submit a prior approval 
     reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In 
     addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval 
     reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest 
     items are established elsewhere in this statement.


                           FUNDING INCREASES

       The funding increases outlined in these tables shall be 
     provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the 
     tables.


   RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

       Items for which additional funds have been recommended or 
     items for which funding is specifically reduced as shown in 
     the project level tables detailing recommended adjustments or 
     in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' in 
     the explanatory statement are congressional special interest 
     items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 
     1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 
     1414 at the stated amount, as specifically addressed 
     elsewhere in the explanatory statement.


                  JOINT HYPERSONICS TRANSITION OFFICE

       Hypersonic weapons pose a dangerous new class of threat to 
     national security. They operate at exceptionally high speeds 
     and can maneuver unpredictably, making them challenging to 
     track and difficult to intercept. Potential adversaries, such 
     as Russia and China, have recognized the value of hypersonic 
     weapons to offset United States military capabilities and 
     hold United States forces at risk. Adversaries have made 
     alarming progress in developing and demonstrating such 
     weapons, far outstripping the pace of United States 
     advancements. The agreement supports efforts aimed at 
     developing capabilities to hold adversaries at risk, as well 
     as capabilities to defend against growing hypersonic threats.
       The agreement strongly supports increased emphasis on 
     research, development, testing, and demonstration of 
     hypersonics technologies and systems. However, there are 
     concerns that the rapid growth in hypersonic research has the 
     potential to result in stove-piped, proprietary systems that 
     duplicate capabilities and increase costs.
       The agreement includes $100,000,000 for the Joint 
     Hypersonics Transition Office to develop and implement an 
     integrated science and technology roadmap for hypersonics and 
     to establish a university consortium for hypersonics research 
     and workforce development to support Department efforts to 
     expedite testing, evaluation, and acquisition of hypersonic 
     weapons systems, and to coordinate current and future 
     research, development, test, and evaluation programs across 
     the Department of Defense.
       The Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) 
     is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than 90 days after the enactment of this 
     Act, and quarterly updates thereafter, on its integrated 
     science and technology roadmap describing the short-term, 
     mid-term, and long-term goals of the Department; progress 
     toward achieving the goals; associated investment needed to 
     achieve the goals; and plans for a university consortium.


               TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPONENTS SUPPLY CHAIN

       The Under Secretary for Defense (Acquisition and 
     Sustainment) is directed to provide a report to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than 180 days 
     after the enactment of this Act which evaluates the risk to 
     the supply chain for fiber and related optical 
     telecommunications components, and if appropriate, recommends 
     risk mitigation strategies for Department of Defense 
     acquisition programs.

            RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, ARMY

       The agreement provides $12,543,435,000 for Research, 
     Development, Test and Evaluation, Army, as follows:

                   OPTIONALLY MANNED FIGHTING VEHICLE

       The agreement provides $205,620,000 for the Optionally 
     Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), a reduction of $172,780,000 
     from the budget request. It is directed that none of the 
     funds provided may be obligated for middle tier acquisition 
     rapid prototyping until the Secretary of the Army has 
     provided a brief to the congressional defense committees 
     which includes the results of the source selection process; 
     an explanation of how program requirements were built, their 
     traceability to the national defense strategy and multi-
     domain operations, and the capability gaps they address; and 
     an updated acquisition strategy and program schedule. Given 
     the significance of the OMFV program in support of Army 
     modernization, it is imperative that the congressional 
     defense committees receive timely schedule and cost 
     information in order to make informed decisions.

            RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, NAVY

       The agreement provides $20,155,115,000 for Research,

                     LARGE UNMANNED SURFACE VESSELS

       The agreement recommends $209,200,000 to fully fund two 
     Large Unmanned Surface Vessels (LUSVs), as requested in the 
     fiscal year 2020 budget. The Secretary of the Navy is 
     directed to comply with the full funding policy for LUSVs in 
     future budget submissions. Further, the agreement recommends 
     $50,000,000 for the design of future LUSVs without a vertical 
     launch system capability in fiscal year 2020. Incremental 
     upgrade capability for a vertical launch system may be 
     addressed in future fiscal years. It is directed that no 
     funds may be awarded for the conceptual design of future 
     LUSVs until the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, 
     Development and Acquisition) briefs the congressional defense 
     committees on the updated acquisition strategy for unmanned 
     surface vessels.

         RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, AIR FORCE

                        COMBAT RESCUE HELICOPTER

        The agreement provides $247,047,000, the same as the 
     budget request, for the continued development of the Combat 
     Rescue Helicopter. It is noted that the Air Force will use 
     some of the funds provided to procure an additional test 
     asset to support a modernization program that includes 
     upgrades to address an evolving threat environment. The 
     Secretary of the Air Force is directed to modify future 
     budget exhibits and briefings to the congressional defense 
     committees to clearly separate and identify funding for the 
     modernization program and provide greater detail on both 
     modernization requirements and the planned use of funds.


              NEXT GENERATION OVERHEAD PERSISTENT INFRARED

       The agreement retains language included in Senate Report 
     116-103 which designates the Next-Generation Overhead 
     Persistent Infrared program as a congressional special 
     interest item. The Secretary of the Air Force is directed to 
     provide quarterly reports to the congressional defense 
     committees on the program.


          OVERHEAD PERSISTENT INFRARED ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE

       The Department of Defense lacks consensus on its space 
     architecture plans to meet requirements for strategic and 
     tactical missile warning, missile defense, and battlespace 
     awareness mission areas. Currently, the Air Force, Missile 
     Defense Agency, Space Development Agency, and others, are 
     planning to spend tens of billions of dollars pursuing 
     various potential satellite constellations, with a variety of 
     sensor types, constellation sizes, and orbits ranging from 
     proliferated low-earth to geosynchronous and others. The 
     Department has yet to synchronize or harmonize these 
     proposals into a clearly articulated executable and 
     affordable integrated enterprise space architecture.
       While the Air Force's Next-Generation Overhead Persistent 
     Infrared Block 0 is an important near-term step for the 
     missile warning mission area, an enterprise architecture 
     strategy is needed to inform decisions on plans, programs, 
     and investments to address the spectrum of overhead 
     persistent infrared mission areas. Without such an enterprise 
     architecture strategy there is potential for inefficiencies, 
     duplication, and unnecessary overlap. The lack of an 
     integrated strategy also risks missing opportunities to 
     integrate sensors and capabilities to increase performance 
     and improve survivability against increasing threats.
       Therefore, the Secretary of Defense is directed to develop 
     an integrated overhead persistent infrared enterprise 
     architecture strategy to carry out these mission areas. The 
     strategy shall define the Department's proposed reference 
     architecture, acquisition strategy, identification of lead 
     agency or Service for each element, estimated cost, schedule 
     of key milestones, and transition plans. The Secretary of 
     Defense is directed to provide the strategy to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than 270 days 
     after the enactment of this Act.


                      WEATHER ENTERPRISE STRATEGY

       The agreement notes concerns about the Air Force's weather 
     acquisition strategy and commitment to provide accurate and 
     timely weather data, a mission with a profound impact on 
     daily worldwide military operations. Therefore, the Secretary 
     of the Air Force is directed to provide the congressional 
     defense committees, not later than 180 days after the 
     enactment of this Act, with a strategy, including proposed 
     acquisition plans, estimated cost, and schedule of key 
     milestones, for a weather enterprise architecture to meet all 
     twelve validated space-based environmental monitoring 
     requirements and related Joint Requirements Oversight Council 
     requirements though at least 2030.


                LOW COST ATTRITABLE AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGY

       The agreement provides an additional $100,000,000 to 
     further develop Low Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology 
     (LCAAT). The Secretary of the Air Force is directed to submit 
     to the congressional defense committees a spend plan for this 
     additional funding, plus any LCAAT funding in the underlying 
     fiscal year 2020 budget request, not later than 90 days after

REDESIGNED KILL VEHICLE PROGRAM TERMINATION AND UNITED STATES HOMELAND 
                                DEFENSE

       Subsequent to the submission of the fiscal year 2020 budget 
     request, the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and 
     Engineering) terminated for convenience the Redesigned Kill 
     Vehicle (RKV) program. It is noted that the Administration is 
     evaluating several potential interceptor options for 
     improving the Nation's homeland defense, to include a Next 
     Generation Interceptor (NGI) that would field several years 
     from now. Therefore, the agreement recommends several 
     adjustments, as delineated in the project level tables in 
     this explanatory statement, to initiate the competitive 
     development of NGI while maintaining and enhancing existing 
     homeland defense capabilities against near- and mid-term 
     threats prior to the fielding of NGI.
       It is expected that with submission of the fiscal year 2021 
     budget request, the Administration will have concluded its 
     evaluation of interceptor options. Therefore, the Director of 
     the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is directed to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees, with the submission of the 
     fiscal year 2021 budget request, MDA's strategy for the 
     Nation's homeland defense in the near-, mid-, and far-term, 
     to include acquisition strategies for each element of the 
     architecture, manufacturing and technology readiness levels, 
     contract-type determinations and rationales therefor, plans 
     for technical data management, sustainment strategies, 
     integrated master test plans and integrated master schedules, 
     as well as cost estimates.
       Further, the Secretary of Defense is directed to select an 
     appropriate entity outside the Department of Defense to 
     conduct an independent review and assessment of the current 
     and planned United States homeland defense architecture 
     against near-, mid-, and far-term threats. At a minimum, such 
     review shall address operational effectiveness and 
     reliability of the current system; force structure and 
     inventory levels necessary to achieve the planned 
     capabilities; the strategy for the development, production, 
     testing, deployment, modernization and sustainment of the 
     architecture; technology and manufacturing readiness levels 
     required to implement the architecture; and industrial base 
     readiness to support this architecture. It is further 
     directed that such review shall be submitted to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than 180 days 
     after the enactment of this Act. In addition, the Director, 
     Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation is directed to submit 
     to the congressional defense committees an independent cost 
     assessment of this architecture not later than 30 days after 
     submission of the review to the congressional defense 
     committees.
       This language replaces language under the header 
     ``Redesigned Kill Vehicle Program Termination and Development 
     of Next Generation Interceptor'' in Senate Report 116-103.

         REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR THE DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM

      (INCLUDING BASE AND OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS FUNDING)

       The agreement directs that the In-House Care and Private 
     Sector Care budget sub-activities remain designated as 
     congressional special interest items. Any transfer of funds 
     into or out of these sub-activities requires the Secretary of 
     Defense to follow prior approval reprogramming procedures. 
     The Secretary of Defense is further directed to provide a 
     report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
     30 days after the enactment of this Act that delineates 
     transfers of funds and the dates any transfers occurred from 
     the Private Sector Care budget sub-activity to any other 
     budget sub-activity in fiscal year 2019.
       The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) is 
     directed to provide quarterly briefings to the congressional 
     defense committees on budget execution data for all of the 
     Defense Health Program budget activities not later than 30 
     days after the end of each fiscal quarter and to adequately 
     reflect changes to the budget activities requested by the 
     Services in future budget submissions.
       The agreement recognizes the shortfall in excess of 
     $700,000,000 experienced in the execution of Private Sector 
     Care in fiscal year 2019 and consequently includes only 
     modest reductions to the fiscal year 2020 Private Sector Care 
     budget request. This language replaces the language under the 
     headings ``Reprogramming Guidance for the Defense Health 
     Program'' in House Report 116-84 and ``Defense Health Program 
     Reprogramming Procedures'' in Senate Report 116-103.


                               CARRYOVER

       The agreement provides one percent carryover authority for 
     the operation and maintenance account of the Defense Health 
     Program. The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) 
     is directed to submit a detailed spending plan for any fiscal 
     year 2019 designated carryover funds to the congressional 
     defense committees not less than 30 days prior to executing 
     the carryover funds.


                 PEER-REVIEWED CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM

       The agreement provides $110,000,000 for the peer-reviewed 
     cancer research program to research cancers not addressed in

     melanoma, and rare cancer research programs.
       The funds provided in the peer-reviewed cancer research 
     program are directed to be used to conduct research in the 
     following areas: bladder cancer; blood cancers; brain cancer; 
     colorectal cancer; esophageal cancer; head and neck cancer; 
     immunotherapy; liver cancer; mesothelioma; metastatic 
     cancers; neuroblastoma; pediatric brain tumors; pediatric, 
     adolescent, and young adult cancers; and stomach cancer. The 
     peer-reviewed cancer research program shall be used only for 
     the purposes listed above. The inclusion of the individual 
     rare cancer research program shall not prohibit the peer-
     reviewed cancer research program from funding the above 
     mentioned cancers or cancer subtypes that may be rare by 
     definition.
       The reports directed under this heading in House Report 
     116-84 and Senate Report 116-103 are still required to be

     funding provided under the peer-reviewed medical research 
     program shall be devoted only to the purposes listed above.


                       ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS

       The agreement highlights legislative language directing the 
     Secretary of Defense to provide quarterly reports to the 
     congressional defense committees on the status of the 
     deployment of the electronic health record. These reports, 
     directed to be submitted not later than 30 days after the end 
     of each fiscal quarter, shall include the cost and schedule 
     of the program, to include milestones, knowledge points, and 
     acquisition timelines, as well as quarterly obligation 
     reports. These reports should also be provided to the 
     Government Accountability Office. It is expected that the 
     House and Senate Appropriations Committees continue to 
     receive briefings on a quarterly basis, coinciding with the 
     report submission.
       The agreement includes legislative language requiring the 
     Secretary to notify the congressional defense committees on 
     any delays to the proposed timeline for deployment. 
     Legislative language directing the Comptroller General to 
     continue quarterly performance reviews of the deployment of 
     MHS GENESIS is also included. It is expected that the Program 
     Executive Officer, Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO 
     DHMS) will facilitate quarterly performance reviews by 
     providing the Comptroller General with regular and in-depth 
     access to the program.
       The Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and 
     Sustainment) is directed to brief the congressional defense 
     committees not later than 30 days after the full deployment 
     decision on the results of the Full Operational Test and 
     Evaluation. Additionally, the PEO DHMS is directed to provide 
     monthly reports not later than 15 days after the end of each 
     month to the congressional defense committees on the status 
     of all open incident reports, as well as high priority 
     incident reports, in order to better track the progress of 
     resolving the issues identified in the initial deployment of 
     MHS GENESIS.
       The Director of the Interagency Program Office is directed 
     to provide quarterly reports to the House and Senate

     Departments.


                     CHANGE IN REPORTING DEADLINES

       The reports directed in Senate Report 116-103 under the 
     headings ``Traumatic Brain Injury/Psychological Health'', 
     ``Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program'', and 
     ``Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research'' are all 
     directed to be submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees not later than 12 months after the enactment of 
     this Act.

   AIR FORCE FLYING HOUR FUNDING EXECUTION FOR OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY 
                               OPERATIONS

       The review of the fiscal year 2020 budget request uncovered 
     some disturbing data points that have called the budget 
     formulation process for flying hours in the overseas 
     contingency operations (OCO) request into question. Budget 
     execution data revealed that the Air Force moved 
     approximately $594,000,000 in fiscal year 2018 and 
     $695,000,000 in fiscal year 2019 from OCO flying hours to 
     other OCO expenses. It is acknowledged that budgetary 
     requirements change, perhaps even more so with the dynamic 
     nature of overseas contingency operations. Accordingly, the 
     House and Senate Appropriations Committees provide 
     flexibility for these emerging requirements by providing 
     procedures on how the Services are able to make budgetary 
     realignments. However, the Air Force has chosen to apply 
     these procedures differently than intended. This means that 
     over $1,289,000,000 of OCO funding has been spent by the Air 
     Force over the past two fiscal years on unbudgeted expenses. 
     Frustratingly, it was only after the fact that the 
     congressional defense committees found out what was purchased 
     with the asset provided from the flying hour account.
       The fact that the Air Force has moved roughly 25 percent 
     from the OCO flying hour funding request for each of the past 
     two years indicates more of a fundamental issue with the 
     initial request as opposed to an anomaly. Therefore, the 
     agreement includes a new reduction to the Air Force OCO 
     flying hours funding request to more closely align with 
     historical execution.


                   COUNTER-ISIS TRAIN AND EQUIP FUND

       The agreement continues support under this heading for the 
     Iraqi Security Forces, Kurdish Peshmerga, and the Syrian 
     Democratic Forces to participate in activities to counter 
     ISIS and their associated groups. The agreement does not 
     include funding for Iraqi security forces that are not 
     engaged in such activities and continues the requirement that 
     the Secretary of Defense ensure elements are appropriately 
     vetted and receiving commitments from them to promote respect 
     for human rights and the rule of law.
       The Secretary of Defense has not fully complied with the 
     quarterly reporting requirements under this heading in the 
     Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2019 (division A of 
     Public Law 115--245) and is directed to submit all overdue 
     reports not later than 45 days after the enactment of this 
     Act.


                                 JORDAN

       The agreement includes funding at levels consistent with 
     prior years for Jordan.

       This funding will allow the reserve components to procure 
     high priority equipment that may be used for combat and 
     domestic response missions. Current reserve component 
     equipping levels are among the highest in recent history, and 
     the funding provided by the agreement will help ensure 
     component interoperability and sustained reserve component 
     modernization.
       The Secretary of Defense is directed to ensure that the 
     account is executed by the Chiefs of the National Guard and 
     reserve components with priority consideration given to the 
     following items: acoustic hailing devices; cold weather and 
     mountaineering gear and equipment, including small unit 
     support vehicles; counter-UAS systems; crashworthy, 
     ballistically tolerant auxiliary fuel systems; detect and 
     avoid systems for MQ-9 aircraft; MQ-9 deployable launch and

     DIVISION B--COMMERCE, JUSTICE, SCIENCE, AND RELATED AGENCIES 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2020

       Report language included in House Report 116-101 (``the 
     House report'') or Senate Report 116-127 (``the Senate 
     report'') that is not changed by this explanatory statement 
     or the Act is approved. The explanatory statement, while 
     repeating some language for emphasis, is not intended to 
     negate the language referred to above unless expressly 
     provided herein. In cases where both the House report and the 
     Senate report address a particular issue not specifically 
     addressed in the explanatory statement, the House report and 
     the Senate report should be read as consistent and are to be 
     interpreted accordingly. In cases where the House report or 
     the Senate report directs the submission of a report, such 
     report is to be submitted to both the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations (``the Committees'').
       Each department and agency funded in this Act shall follow 
     the directions set forth in this Act and the accompanying 
     explanatory statement, and shall not reallocate resources or 
     reorganize activities except as provided herein. 
     Reprogramming procedures shall apply to: funds provided in 
     this Act; unobligated balances from previous appropriations 
     Acts that are available for obligation or expenditure in 
     fiscal year 2020; and non-appropriated resources such as fee 
     collections that are used to meet program requirements in 
     fiscal year 2020. These procedures are specified in section 
     505 of this Act.
       Any reprogramming request shall include any out-year 
     budgetary impacts and a separate accounting of program or 
     mission impacts on estimated carryover funds. Any program, 
     project, or activity cited in this explanatory statement, or 
     in the House report or the Senate report and not changed by 
     this Act, shall be construed as the position of the Congress 
     and shall not be subject to reductions or reprogramming 
     without prior approval of the Committees. Further, any 
     department or agency funded in this Act that plans a 
     reduction-in-force shall notify the Committees by letter no 
     later than 30 days in advance of the date of any such planned 
     personnel action.
       When a department or agency submits a reprogramming or 
     transfer request to the Committees and does not receive 
     identical responses, it shall be the responsibility of the 
     department or agency seeking the reprogramming to reconcile 
     the differences between the two bodies before proceeding. If 
     reconciliation is not possible, the items in disagreement in 
     the reprogramming or transfer request shall be considered 
     unapproved. Departments and agencies shall not submit 
     reprogramming notifications after July 1, 2020, except in 
     extraordinary circumstances. Any such notification shall 
     include a description of the extraordinary circumstances.
       In compliance with section 528 of this Act, each department 
     and agency funded in this Act shall submit spending plans, 
     signed by the respective department or agency head, for the 
     Committees' review not later than 45 days after enactment of 
     this Act.

                     OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION

       The agreement includes $521,250,000 in total resources for

     notification to the Committees on the obligation of funds 
     within the Bureau's contingency reserve and directs the 
     Census Bureau to report to the Committees no later than 15 
     days after any obligation of such funds. Such report shall 
     include a description of the work funded from this reserve 
     during the fiscal year. The agreement also supports no less

     include details on how the Mobile Questionnaire Assistance 
     Centers will be utilized as a part of these efforts.

     requirement for quarterly updates from the Census Bureau to 
     ensure the Committees are regularly apprised of the status of 
     the 2020 Decennial operations, Census systems readiness, 
     Census Enterprise Data Collection and Processing, 
     implementation of GAO recommendations, and the American 
     Community Survey. As part of these briefings, the Census 
     Bureau should also include updates on actions it is taking, 
     along with the Department of Homeland Security, to secure the

     previously provided for System Architecture and Advanced 
     Planning, Satellite Ground Services, and Commercial Weather 
     Data. Senate language on system architecture and advanced 
     planning and commercial weather data is adopted and should be 
     executed using funds provided to SAE. The Committees expect 
     that the SAE portfolio will manage end-to-end space and 
     ground architecture requirements, support early stage 
     ventures, and serve as the single entry point for commercial 
     partners.

     determine whether the DOC WCF is adhering to key operating 
     principles to ensure the appropriate tracking and use of

     managing the WCF are meeting these principles; (3) examine 
     the balances accumulated and retained in the DOC WCF; and (4)

     there is any duplication of services.
       Office of the Secretary Travel.--House bill language to 
     prohibit travel for personnel within the Office of the 
     Secretary from funds outside of Salaries and Expenses is not 
     adopted. However, to increase transparency regarding the 
     amounts the Department's bureaus contribute toward travel 
     expenses of the Secretary and the Secretary's immediate 
     staff, the agreement directs the Department to provide in its 
     fiscal year 2021 congressional budget justification the 
     estimated total for travel costs outside of the National 
     Capital Region for all personnel within Executive Direction 
     by office, broken down by bureau contributions at the PPA 
     level and any associated authorities that justify why such 
     expenses are not supported through the ``Departmental 
     Management, Salaries and Expenses'' appropriation. As part of 
     the budget justification, the Department shall also include 
     travel costs associated with fiscal years 2019 and 2020. The

     within DM. If additional funding for the exclusion process 
     becomes necessary, the Department shall report to the 
     Committees at least 15 days prior to the obligation of funds 
     above the totals specified herein. Further, the Committees 
     are concerned by the findings presented in the DOC Office of 
     Inspector General (OIG) Management Alert (OIG-20-003-M) 
     regarding the Section 232 exclusion process. Therefore, the 
     agreement directs the Department to brief the Committees, not 
     later than 30 days after enactment of this Act, on how the 
     process has been reformed in response to the OIG's 
     recommendations.
       Space Commerce.--Senate report language on Space Commerce 
     within DM is amended to clarify that the results of the 
     independent review shall be submitted to the Committees, and 
     all relevant authorizing committees, no later than six months 
     after the Secretary enters into a contract with the National 
     Academy of Public Administration. Additionally, the agreement 
     encourages that the costs of the study be shared by DM and 
     NOAA, within funds provided above the fiscal year 2019 level 
     for the Office of Space Commerce within NOAA NESDIS.
       Section 232 Automobiles Report.--In lieu of Senate language 
     on Section 232 Investigations, section 112 of this Act 
     requires that the report on the findings of the Section 232 
     investigation into the effect on national security of 
     automobile and automotive parts imports be published in the 
     Federal Register no later than 30 days after enactment of

     shall ensure that no confidential business information or 
     proprietary data is included in the version of the report 
     published in the Federal Register.

       The agreement includes a total of $1,000,000 for the 
     Renovation and Modernization account. The agreement does not 
     adopt House report language on centralizing Departmental 
     salaries and expenses into one appropriation, but 
     reemphasizes House direction for the Department to evaluate 
     how it can best standardize its appropriations in future 
     years, recognizing transparency of total project costs is a 
     priority.


                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

       The agreement includes a total of $41,858,000 for the 
     Office of Inspector General. This amount includes $33,000,000 
     in direct appropriations, a $2,000,000 transfer from USPTO, a 
     transfer of $3,556,000 from the Bureau of the Census,

     each time a master calendar or individual merits hearing is 
     conducted via VTC to allow for better statistical data 
     collection to help determine whether VTC has an outcome 
     determinative impact. This information is to be provided in 
     the quarterly reports submitted to the Committees and should 
     include the number and type of hearings conducted by VTC, 
     including data on appeals cases related to the use of VTC,

     impact regarding covered controlled substances as required

       Restrictions on OVW Grants.--It was incredibly troubling to 
     learn about the new restriction to not fund more than two 
     discretionary awards to one entity as either the lead or sub-
     recipient grantee as part of OVW's grant solicitations for 
     fiscal year 2020. This change will severely disadvantage 
     small states; rural communities; tribal communities; and 
     organizations providing services to specialized populations, 
     which could limit access to critical victim services. While 
     the Department has been directed to reduce program 
     duplication, this restriction is not the appropriate way to 
     accomplish that goal, and OVW is directed to rescind this 
     restriction.

     and use of grants or contracts funded by amounts appropriated

 DIVISION C--FINANCIAL SERVICES AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS 
                               ACT, 2020

       The joint explanatory statement accompanying this division 
     is approved and indicates congressional intent. Unless 
     otherwise noted, the language set forth in House Report 116-
     122 and Senate Report 116-111 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.
       Reports.--Where the House or Senate has directed submission 
     of a report, that report is to be submitted to the Committees 
     on Appropriations of the House and Senate. Agencies funded by 
     this Act that currently provide separate copies of periodic 
     reports and correspondence to the chairs and ranking members 
     of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and 
     Subcommittees on Financial Services and General Government 
     are directed to use a single cover letter jointly addressed 
     to the chairs and ranking members of the Committees and 
     Subcommittees of both the House and the Senate. To the 
     greatest extent feasible, agencies should include in the 
     cover letter a reference or hyperlink to facilitate 
     electronic access to the report and provide the documents by 
     electronic mail delivery. These measures will help reduce 
     costs, conserve paper, expedite agency processing, and ensure 
     that consistent information is conveyed concurrently to the 
     majority and minority committee offices of both chambers of 
     Congress.
       Pursuant to section 608, agencies funded by this bill are 
     required to consult the Committees on Appropriations of the 
     House and the Senate prior to any significant reorganization, 
     restructuring, relocation, or closing of offices, programs, 
     or activities. These decisions have the potential to impact 
     funding needs in future years and may conflict with the 
     rationale behind the appropriated levels in the current year; 
     therefore, these actions, particularly those that entail out-
     year impacts, merit advanced engagement with the Committees. 
     Should any questions arise relating to the applicability of 
     these provisions to a potential action or decision, agencies 
     are expected to confer with the Committees on Appropriations 
     of the House and Senate prior to completing the decision-
     making process. The agreement also clarifies that 
     reorganizations or consolidations of programs or offices that 
     entail relocating a material number of employees to a 
     different locality pay area are significant for the purposes 
     of section 608.
       The agreement notes concerns regarding excessive spending 
     on Federal furniture in previous fiscal years by executive 
     agency heads without proper notification to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of the House and the Senate. Federal agencies 
     are expected to comply with the provisions in section 710 of 
     this bill.

    TITLE I--DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS, INTELLIGENCE, AND 
                               OVERSIGHT

            Office of the Secretary and Executive Management


                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

       The agreement includes an increase for Operations and 
     Support of $27,498,000 above the budget request, including 
     increases of: $2,900,000 for the Office for Civil Rights and 
     Civil Liberties for the Compliance Branch; $7,500,000 for the 
     Office of Strategy Policy and Plans for a community awareness 
     and training program and activities related to targeted 
     violence and terrorism prevention grants funded through 
     Federal Assistance; $10,000,000 for the establishment of a 
     new Office of Immigration Detention Ombudsman; and $7,548,000 
     to sustain fiscal year 2019 operational levels, including 
     adjusted personnel costs and the Immigration Data Integration 
     Initiative.
       Chief Medical Officer (CMO).--As the primary DHS medical 
     authority, the CMO has oversight responsibility for the 
     Department's medical and public health policies and 
     operations. As such, DHS is directed to ensure that the CMO 
     reviews all contracts that broadly impact how the Department 
     delivers healthcare to individuals in its custody and to 
     departmental personnel. In coordination with operational 
     components, the CMO shall develop departmental requirements 
     for medical services, to include professional healthcare 
     system administration; disease surveillance, reporting, and 
     outbreak response; and measurable performance standards for 
     current and future healthcare record systems. The CMO, in 
     conjunction with operational component leadership as 
     appropriate, is directed to brief the Committees within 90 
     days of the date of enactment of this Act on these efforts.
       Medical Strategy.--In fiscal year 2019, nearly 1,000,000 
     migrants were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border 
     Protection, resulting in an unprecedented medical screening 
     and healthcare crisis. As the Department responded, it became 
     clear that a more cohesive strategy was necessary to address 
     emergent medical conditions of detainees, as well as the 
     health of its own workforce. Based on lessons learned from 
     this experience, the Secretary shall develop a DHS-wide 
     medical response strategy for emergent circumstances, 
     including surges in migration, National Special Security 
     Events, Special Event Assessment Rating events, and Stafford 
     Act-declared disasters. The strategy should also clarify the 
     roles and responsibilities of DHS medical personnel; the need 
     for any new legal authorizations; and any reorganization 
     requirements, as appropriate.
       Office of Immigration Detention Ombudsman.--The agreement 
     establishes an Immigration Detention Ombudsman position and 
     provides $10,000,000 for an Office of Immigration Detention 
     Ombudsman, as described in the House Report. The bill 
     withholds $500,000 from the Office of the Secretary for 
     Executive Management (OSEM) until the Secretary approves the 
     Ombudsman.
       Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans.--The agreement 
     includes a realignment of $2,800,000 from the Office of 
     Partnership and Engagement for the new Office of Terrorism 
     Prevention Partnerships (OTPP). OTPP is directed to brief the 
     Committees within 30 days of the date of enactment of this 
     Act on its programs and activities, including its plans for 
     carrying out local community awareness and training, and for 
     the use of funding provided under Management Directorate--
     Federal Assistance for targeted violence and terrorism 
     prevention grants.
       Public Complaint and Feedback System Working Group.--The 
     Department has not fulfilled a requirement in House Report 
     116-9 to provide semi-annual updates to the Committees on the 
     Public Complaint and Feedback System Working Group. The 
     Department is directed to begin providing such updates not 
     later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act. 
     The bill withholds $500,000 from OSEM until the Department 
     provides the first such update, which must address the 
     requirements detailed in House Report 114-668.


                           FEDERAL ASSISTANCE

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

       The agreement provides $10,000,000 for targeted violence 
     and terrorism prevention grants, to be transferred to the 
     Federal Emergency Management Agency for purposes of 
     administration.

                         Management Directorate


                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

       The agreement includes an increase for Operations and 
     Support of $6,152,000 above the budget request to sustain 
     fiscal year 2019 operational levels, including personnel cost 
     adjustments.
       The Department is directed to refrain from initiating new 
     PPAs for which funds have not been provided in an 
     appropriations act, either explicitly or based on a funding 
     request, if such PPAs would have significant resource 
     requirements beyond the budget year. When emergent 
     circumstances otherwise require the initiation of significant 
     PPAs, the Department is directed to provide advance 
     notification to the Committees, along with a detailed 
     justification for why they are required.


              PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

       The agreement provides the requested appropriation for the 
     proposed activities under Procurement, Construction, and 
     Improvements.

          Intelligence, Analysis, and Operations Coordination


                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

       The agreement provides an increase of $7,500,000 above the 
     budget request for election security. A total of $68,579,000 
     is available until September 30, 2021.

                      Office of Inspector General


                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

       The agreement includes an increase for Operations and 
     Support of $20,000,000 above the budget request for increased 
     monitoring and oversight of border security and immigration 
     enforcement activities.

                   TITLE I--ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

       Section 101. The agreement continues a provision requiring 
     the Inspector General to review grants and contracts awarded 
     by means other than full and open competition and report the 
     results to the Committees.
       Section 102. The agreement continues a provision requiring 
     the Chief Financial Officer to submit monthly budget 
     execution and staffing reports within 30 days after the close 
     of each month.
       Section 103. The agreement continues a provision directing 
     the Secretary to require contracts providing award fees to 
     link such fees to successful acquisition outcomes.
       Section 104. The agreement continues a provision requiring 
     the Secretary, in conjunction with the Secretary of the 
     Treasury, to notify the Committees of any proposed transfers 
     from the Department of Treasury Forfeiture Fund to any agency 
     at DHS. No funds may be obligated prior to such notification.
       Section 105. The agreement continues a provision related to 
     official travel costs of the Secretary and Deputy Secretary.
       Section 106. The agreement includes a provision 
     establishing an Immigration Detention Ombudsman.
       Section 107. The agreement continues a provision requiring 
     the Secretary to submit a report on visa overstay data and to 
     post border security metrics on the Department's website.

          Title II--Security, Enforcement, and Investigations

                   U.S. Customs and Border Protection


                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

       The agreement provides $12,735,399,000 for Operations and 
     Support of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which 
     includes $203,000,000 of prior year emergency funding and of 
     which $500,000,000 is available until September 30, 2021. 
     This emergency funding is fully offset by the rescission of 
     unneeded prior year balances of emergency funding. The bill 
     includes increases above the budget request, including the 
     following: $99,774,000 to sustain prior year initiatives and 
     for personnel cost adjustments; $13,000,000 for Border Patrol 
     Processing Coordinator positions;

[[Page H11016]]

     $56,656,000 for Office of Field Operations staff; $19,651,000 
     for agriculture specialists; $25,000,000 for innovative 
     technology; $1,500,000 for comprehensive testing of imported 
     honey; $5,000,000 for tribal roads; $2,000,000 for rescue 
     beacons; $2,000,000 for enterprise geospatial improvement 
     services; $20,000,000 for port of entry technology; 
     $3,000,000 for trade enhancements; $2,000,000 for NAFTA 
     Centers; $5,000,000 to increase Air and Marine flight hours, 
     bringing the total to $15,000,000 and to include the use of 
     contracted pilots; and $21,000,000 for body worn cameras. The 
     agreement includes a reduction below the request of 
     $45,000,000 associated with administrative contract savings 
     for Enterprise Services, $82,218,000 for humanitarian care to 
     be offset with prior year emergency funding and provides no 
     funding for additional Border Patrol agents.
       The account total reflects a rescission and re-
     appropriation of prior year discretionary and emergency 
     funds, which shall be obligated for humanitarian care, to 
     include consumables and medical care, electronic health 
     records, and to address health, life and safety issues at 
     existing Border Patrol facilities, including construction and 
     for improved video recording capabilities.
       The agreement includes technical budget realignments, as 
     requested by DHS.
       Border Patrol Processing Coordinators.--The bill includes 
     $13,000,000 for Border Patrol processing coordinators. Prior 
     to the execution of funds, CBP shall brief the Committees on 
     the training requirements for these new positions, which 
     should include but not be limited to emergency medical and 
     mental health care; migrant legal rights; Trafficking Victims 
     Protection Reauthorization Act requirements; and how to 
     identify child abuse and neglect. The briefing should also 
     address the total cost of such training and identify the 
     location where training will occur.
       Custody and Transfer Metrics.--The agreement requires data 
     reporting on migrants in CBP custody, including data on 
     utilization rates for all short term holding facilities and 
     on the designated removal mechanisms for migrants. CBP shall 
     publish on a publicly accessible website the following on a 
     semimonthly basis: the number of migrants detained in CBP 
     facilities broken out by sector, field office, temporary 
     spaces, humanitarian care centers, and central processing 
     centers; and the utilization rates of all such facilities. On 
     a monthly basis, CBP shall publish the number of migrants 
     transferred out of CBP custody, delineated by transfer 
     destination and, in the case of removal, the removal 
     mechanism.
       Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS).--The bill restores 
     $13,850,000 of the $27,661,000 reduction in the budget 
     request to EVUS. CBP is strongly encouraged to work with the 
     appropriate authorizing committees to get fee authority for 
     EVUS. Non-immigrant visa holders who benefit from this 
     program, not U.S. taxpayers, should pay for EVUS.
       Gordie Howe International Bridge.--The funding level for 
     Gordie Howe International Bridge is funded at the requested 
     level, and shall be obligated as proposed in the request, in 
     the Operations and Support account and in Procurement, 
     Construction, and Improvements.
       Innovative Technology.--At least 15 days prior to the 
     obligation of funds for innovative border security 
     technology, CBP is directed to brief the Committees on the 
     planned obligation of funds. The briefing shall also identify 
     the component sponsor and plans for transitioning 
     technologies to the field. Funding in the bill for such 
     technology shall not exceed $5,000,000 for any individual 
     project.
       Intelligent Enforcement and Opioids.--The funding levels 
     for Intelligent Enforcement and opioids are funded at the 
     requested levels and shall be obligated as proposed in the 
     budget request.
       Medical Guidance.--The CBP Commissioner issued an interim 
     directive on enhanced medical care to help address the 
     growing influx of migrants crossing the southern border. In 
     conjunction with the DHS CMO, CBP is directed to issue a 
     permanent medical directive and implementing guidance, which 
     shall include the following:
        Clear definitions, metrics, automated reporting 
     requirements, and formal mechanisms for coordinating with the 
     CMO on making determinations that conditions at the border 
     constitute a public health crisis, which should take into 
     consideration: time in custody; holding facility capacity 
     limits; emerging disease outbreaks, such as influenza; and 
     the readiness of each U.S. Border Patrol and Office of Field 
     Operations facility. These metrics shall be reported on a 
     common operating picture such as the Unified Immigration 
     Portal;
        Response plans for public health crisis conditions 
     that include: a convalescence center concept, executed in 
     concert with the CMO and the U.S. Public Health Service; the 
     provision of vaccinations when deemed appropriate by the CMO; 
     and emergency mechanisms to address overcrowding at Border 
     Patrol and port of entry facilities through custodial 
     transfers to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the 
     Office of Refugee Resettlement, as appropriate; and
        A peer review process for deaths in custody, 
     including: first level review by the CBP Senior Medical 
     Advisor; second level review convened by the CMO; and 
     external review, as appropriate through an enterprise-level 
     contract executed by the CMO.
       Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the CMO, in conjunction with appropriate CBP leadership, 
     shall brief the Committees on an implementation plan for the 
     permanent directive. Additionally, the final guidance and 
     associated implementing guidance shall be made available on a 
     publicly accessible website not later than 15 days after such 
     guidance is finalized.
       Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP).--DHS shall establish 
     goals and metrics for assessing the effectiveness of the MPP 
     Program. Metrics shall include the following daily data for 
     migrants entering the United States, by location: the total 
     number of entering migrants apprehended or deemed 
     inadmissible; the number of such migrants amenable to MPP; 
     the number of amenable migrants who assert a fear of 
     returning to Mexico; the number of migrants assigned to MPP 
     appearing at a port of entry to attend immigration 
     adjudication proceedings and the outcomes of such 
     proceedings, including data on the number of removals ordered 
     in absentia; the number of migrants assigned to MPP who 
     remain overnight in the United States; and the number of 
     adults and Unaccompanied Alien Children entering without 
     inspection subsequent to being returned to Mexico through 
     MPP.
       Other Reporting.--The briefing on CBP-wide workload, 
     capabilities, assets, and human resource gaps, as described 
     in the Senate Report, shall be provided quarterly. The pilot 
     project on the use of community oriented policing teams, as 
     detailed in the Senate Report 116-125, shall be briefed 
     within one year of the date of enactment of this Act.
       Office of Field Operations Staffing.--The agreement 
     includes $104,377,000 to support over 800 new positions in 
     the Office of Field Operations to include 610 additional 
     Officers and Agriculture Specialists. CBP is again encouraged 
     to utilize fee funding to hire up to a total of 1,200 CBP 
     Officers and 240 Agriculture Specialists during fiscal year 
     2020.
       Video Monitoring.--Any failure of closed caption television 
     and associated storage equipment in excess of 120 hours at 
     any CBP facility that detains migrants must be reported to 
     the Office of Professional Responsibility. Such reporting 
     shall be updated weekly.


              PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

       The agreement provides $1,904,468,000 for Procurement, 
     Construction, and Improvements, which includes $30,000,000 of 
     prior year emergency funding. This emergency funding is fully 
     offset by the rescission of unneeded prior year balances of 
     emergency funding.
       The agreement includes the following increases above the 
     request: $20,000,000 for innovative technology, of which not 
     more than $5,000,000 may be available for any single project;

     surveillance systems, including currently deployed light 
     truck based systems; $10,000,000 for Automated Commercial 
     Environment enhancements; $28,383,000 for one additional 
     Multi-Role Enforcement Aircraft with a Dismounted Moving

     and $9,000,000 for expansion at the Advanced Training Center. 
     The agreement provides a total of $14,830,000 for coastal 
     interceptor vessels and $59,124,000 for non-intrusive 
     inspection equipment, as requested.
       Border Barrier System.--The agreement includes 
     $1,375,000,000 for additional border barriers.
       Facilities.--The agreement includes $25,000,000 for 
     construction of the Papago Farms Forward Operating Base and 
     for facilities improvements to protect life and improve 
     safety.
       Health Record Systems.--The account total includes 
     $30,000,000 derived from the rescission and re-appropriation 
     of prior year emergency funds to enable the DHS CMO, in 
     conjunction with CBP, ICE, and other operational components, 
     to develop and establish interim and long-term electronic 
     systems for recording and maintaining information related to 
     the health of individuals in the Department's custody. The 
     systems shall be adaptable to component operational 
     environments and be interoperable with other departmental 
     systems, as appropriate, and with the National Emergency 
     Medical Services Information System. A plan for the design 
     and development of such systems shall be provided to the 
     Committees within 90 days of the date of enactment of this 
     Act.

                U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement


                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

       The agreement includes the following increases above the 
     budget request: $4,000,000 for the Human Exploitation Rescue 
     Operative Child-Rescue Corps; $3,000,000 for cybercrime 
     investigative capabilities; $12,000,000 for a counter-
     proliferation investigations center; $2,000,000 for the Law 
     Enforcement Systems and Analysis division; $15,000,000 for 
     the Family Case Management Program (FCMP); $4,000,000 for an 
     independent review of the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) 
     program, including the FCMP; $9,222,000 for repairs and 
     improvements at detention facilities; $14,000,000 for hiring 
     at the Office of Detention Oversight to increase the 
     frequency of detention inspections; $2,000,000 for the Office 
     of the Chief Financial Officer to improve reporting to 
     Congress and the public about Immigration and Customs 
     Enforcement's resource use; $406,000 for an Office of the 
     Principal Legal Advisor facility consolidation project; and 
     $632,382,000 to sustain prior year initiatives and for 
     personnel cost adjustments.
       The agreement provides direct funding of $207,600,000 above 
     the request in lieu of the

[[Page H11017]]

     proposed use of Immigration Examination User Fee revenue to 
     partially offset costs for eligible activities in this 
     account due to concerns with the impact to U.S. Citizenship 
     and Immigration Services operations and the growing backlog 
     in applications for immigration benefits.
       Consistent with the funding recommendations in the House 
     and Senate Reports, the agreement does not include 
     $700,786,000 that was requested to sustain prior year 
     initiatives that were not funded in the fiscal year 2019 
     appropriation, nor does it include $298,973,000 in requested 
     funding for additional staffing.
       Of the amount provided, $53,696,000 is available until 
     September 30, 2021, to include: $13,700,000 for the Visa 
     Security Program; $32,996,000 to support the wiretap program; 
     and $7,000,000 for the Office of Detention Oversight.
       The Department and ICE have failed to comply with any of 
     the requirements set forth in the explanatory statement 
     accompanying Public Law 116-6 regarding detailed operational 
     and spending plans for fiscal year 2019 for ICE Operations 
     and Support. The Department and ICE are again directed to 
     execute such requirements for fiscal year 2020.

                   Enforcement and Removal Operations

       Alternatives to Detention (ATD).--For the report required 
     in the Senate Report regarding an analysis of each active ATD 
     program within the last five years, the Secretary shall also 
     submit this report to GAO for review. GAO shall review the 
     reliability and accuracy of data in the report and provide a 
     preliminary briefing to the Committees on its review within 
     120 days of receipt. GAO shall also conduct a review of the 
     ATD program and report its findings to the Committees on a 
     date agreed to at the time of the preliminary briefing.
       Immigration Enforcement at Sensitive Locations.--ICE is 
     directed to follow its policy regarding enforcement actions 
     at or near sensitive locations and is encouraged to review 
     the scope of the category to areas not previously included 
     where community impacts could be better balanced against ICE 
     law enforcement requirements.
       Further, ICE is directed to provide its officers with 
     guidance and training for engaging with victims of crime and 
     witnesses of crime, and to clarify policy guidance on 
     enforcement actions in or near sensitive locations in order 
     to minimize any effect that immigration enforcement may have 
     on the willingness and ability of victims and witnesses to 
     pursue justice.


              PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

       The agreement includes $47,270,000 for procurement, 
     construction, and improvements, consisting of $10,300,000 to 
     accelerate modernization of ICE's immigration information 
     technology systems, data platform, and reporting and

       The agreement includes an increase of $565,370,000 above 
     the budget request, including an increase of $93,382,000 for 
     personnel cost adjustments. The agreement rejects the airline 
     passenger fee increase proposed by TSA, which would have 
     offset the total appropriation by an estimated $550,000,000, 
     thus making the net increase in discretionary spending above 
     the request $1,115,370,000.

     acquisitions; $4,280,000 to continue procurement of 
     Credential Authentication Technology units; and $3,590,000 to 
     support rent increases in the field.

                    Other Operations and Enforcement

       The agreement provides $140,312,000 above the request for 
     Other Operations and Enforcement, including $4,708,000 to 
     replace aging equipment in the Federal Flight Deck Officer 
     (FFDO) and Flight Crew Program and $8,420,000 for 
     cybersecurity pipeline field assessments.

              PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

       The agreement includes $68,600,000 for the procurement of 
     computed tomography (CT) machines for use at the airport 
     checkpoint. This amount is in addition to funds available 
     from the Aviation Security Capital Fund and will support the 
     acquisition and installation of 320 units. The agreement also 
     includes increases above the request of $1,500,000 to advance 
     CT algorithm development and $40,000,000 for TSA to continue 
     reimbursement of airports that incurred costs associated with

     system prior to August 3, 2007.
       Section 223 of the bill provides direction for capital 
     investment plan requirements in lieu of language included in 
     the House Report.

     requested cybersecurity and IT enhancements.
       The agreement includes reductions to the request of 
     $5,942,000 due to the inclusion of Fast Response Cutter (FRC) 
     crew costs in Overseas Contingency Operations and $6,166,000 
     because of delays in the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) 
     program.

              Procurement, Construction, and Improvements

       The agreement provides an increase of $537,850,000 above 
     the request, including the following: $13,500,000 for In-
     Service Vessel Sustainment; $260,000,000 for a total of four 
     FRCs; $100,000,000 for long lead time materials for a second 
     Polar Security Cutter; $105,000,000 for the HC-130J aircraft

     National Security Cutter, consistent with the direction in 
     the House Report.
       The agreement includes $77,550,000 for Major Construction; 
     Housing; Aids to Navigation; and Survey and Design and

     Report are supported within these funding levels, including 
     land acquisition, as necessary.
       The agreement includes $2,000,000 to establish a major 
     acquisition program office to enhance icebreaking capacity on 
     the Great Lakes within 180 days of the date of enactment of

     Security Response Teams to procure vessels currently in 
     production and used by Department of Defense teams that are 
     capable of operating in contested, near shore environments.
       Elizabeth City Air Station.--The bill does not provide 
     funding for enhancements to the runway at the Elizabeth City 
     Coast Guard Air Station. The Coast Guard has estimated the 
     total project cost would exceed $23,000,000, far above the 
     level recommended in the Senate bill. The Coast Guard shall 
     work with state and local partners, including institutions of 
     higher learning, to determine the full scope and cost of 
     mutually beneficial enhancements to Runway 1/19, and explore 
     the potential for sharing costs necessary to ensure the 
     project is completed in an efficient manner. The Coast Guard 
     shall brief the Committees within 120 days of the date of 
     enactment of this Act on the scope, costs, and benefits of 
     the project, including the viability of a financial 
     partnership with non-federal stakeholders.
        OPC Program.--The contract awarded to construct the OPC 
     was recently amended to address increased cost estimates 
     after the Acting Secretary determined that relief permitted 
     under Public Law 85-804 was appropriate and necessary to the 
     national defense. An associated delay in delivery of the 
     first two hulls reduced the fiscal year 2020 requirement for 
     the OPC by $145,000,000. Funds included in the agreement 
     continue necessary program requirements. The agreement 
     maintains the commitment to ensuring

[[Page H11018]]

     the Coast Guard can continue the program of record for these 
     critical vessels. As a condition of the granted relief, the 
     vendor will be subject to increased oversight, including 
     additional scrutiny of the costs borne by the Coast Guard. 
     The Coast Guard shall brief the Committees quarterly on the 
     metrics used to evaluate adherence to production timelines 
     and costs, including those attributed to reestablishing the 
     production line and maintaining the skilled workforce 
     required to ensure contract performance.

     and counter foreign influence.

                             Cybersecurity

       Cybersecurity Workforce.--The agreement includes an 
     increase of $7,100,000 above the request for CISA to expedite 
     national cybersecurity education, training, and workforce 
     development efforts to build a cybersecurity workforce as a 
     national security asset. CISA is directed to develop a 
     consolidated plan that defines a path to educate the 
     cybersecurity workforce of the future and develop content 
     that includes partnering with at least two academic 
     institutions of higher education to cultivate a non-
     traditional workforce, focused on reaching rural, minority, 
     gender diverse, and veteran populations. These efforts could 
     include cybersecurity competitions and associated costs to 
     identify cyber excellence throughout the nation and within 
     the Federal government. The plan should also clearly 
     articulate measurable outcomes for how efforts comply with 
     Executive Order 13800 and its resulting recommendations. This 
     program is subject to the briefing requirements described 
     above.
       To address the requirements described in the House and 
     Senate Reports, a briefing shall be provided in collaboration 
     with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the 
     Department of Commerce, the Office of Personnel Management, 
     and other agencies and organizations with responsibilities 
     for this issue. CISA is further directed to brief the 
     Committees, not later than 90 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, on the deliverables required in the 
     ``Solving the Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Shortage'' 
     proposal; the Executive Order on America's Cybersecurity 
     Workforce; and the November 16, 2017 report entitled 
     ``Supporting the Growth and Sustainment of the Nation's 
     Cybersecurity Workforce''.
       CyberSentry.--The agreement includes $7,000,000 for the 
     proposed CyberSentry pilot program, which is $4,000,000 less 
     than the request due to revised cost estimates. Prior to 
     obligating such funds, CISA is directed to brief the 
     Committees on its plan for the program, to include: its 
     process for choosing which vendors, if any, will be used to 
     support the program; its process for choosing which 
     industrial control system owner operators will be selected to 
     participate in the program; and the performance measures that 
     will be used to evaluate the program. Further, CISA is 
     directed to include as a part of its program, an assessment 
     of the state of the market to meet the capabilities sought by 
     this pilot program and an evaluation of any market 
     advancements required to meet such demands.
       Federal Cybersecurity.--The agreement includes an increase 
     above the request of $13,000,000 to accelerate data 
     protection and dashboard deployment for the CDM program. CISA 
     is directed to provide a report not later than 180 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act detailing how CISA will 
     modernize CDM and National Cybersecurity Protection System 
     (NCPS), including EINSTEIN, to ensure they remain 
     operationally effective given changing trends in technology, 
     the federal workforce, threats, and vulnerabilities. The

       Continuing Training Grants.--The agreement includes 
     $8,000,000 for Continuing Training Grants to support 
     competitively-awarded training programs to address specific 
     national preparedness gaps, such as cybersecurity, economic 
     recovery, housing, and rural and tribal preparedness. Of this 
     amount, not less than $3,000,000 shall be prioritized to be 
     competitively awarded for Federal Emergency Management 
     Agency-certified rural and tribal training.
       U.S. Fire Administration.--Of the total provided for the 
     U.S. Fire Administration, the agreement includes full funding 
     for State Fire Training Grants, in addition to the funding

     days after the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall 
     brief the Committees on a plan for awarding such grants.
       Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI).--Consistent with the 
     Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act, the 
     agreement requires FEMA to conduct risk assessments for the 
     100 most populous metropolitan statistical areas prior to 
     making UASI grant awards. It is expected that UASI funding 
     will be limited to urban areas representing up to 85 percent 
     of the cumulative national terrorism risk to urban areas and 
     that resources will continue to be allocated in proportion to 
     risk.


                          DISASTER RELIEF FUND

       The agreement provides $17,863,259,000, which is 
     $3,313,575,000 above the request. Of the total, 
     $17,352,112,000 is provided through the budget cap adjustment

     President's budget was submitted, a request was made to 
     realign FEMA funding for facilities that directly support 
     disaster response and recovery operations. The realignment of 
     $33,463,000 from Operations and Support and $3,000,000 from 
     Procurement, Construction, and Improvements (PC&I) to the DRF 
     base is reflected in the bill. With the exception of this 
     purpose, FEMA is directed to continue to adhere to the 
     direction in House Report 114-215 with regard to the purposes 
     of the Operations and Support and DRF base accounts.
       FEMA is directed to submit a report to the Committees not 
     later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
     documenting the criteria and guidance for determining when an 
     expense should be charged to the DRF base, to Operations and 
     Support, or to another account for future years. The report 
     shall also include amounts by fiscal year and by account for 
     all activities described in House report 114-215 related to 
     these disaster related activities since fiscal year 2016. The 
     purpose of this information is to facilitate oversight by 
     enabling cost comparisons in future years.
       Predisaster Hazard Mitigation.--FEMA is directed to brief 
     the Committees not later than 30 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act on the implementation of programs under 
     section 203 of the Stafford Act. The briefing shall include: 
     the status of transitioning the Predisaster Mitigation Grant 
     Program (PDM) to National Public Infrastructure Pre-Disaster 
     Mitigation Assistance (NPIPMA) program; a schedule for 
     implementing and awarding such grants not later than the end 
     of fiscal year 2020; how input provided by SLTT has been 
     incorporated; how the needs of mitigation partners will be 
     met; and how innovation and incentives will be incorporated 
     into the program. Further, the briefing shall include a 
     timeframe for documenting a clear policy on how FEMA will 
     account for variations in funding levels based on the nature 
     of NPIPMA being a percentage of disaster spending. The policy 
     should ensure SLTT can plan for effective projects by 
     avoiding disruptive fluctuations in funding levels. Last, the 
     briefing shall include a clear plan for how FEMA can best use 
     funds recovered from previous PDM projects, with a clear 
     description of the amount and source of the funds.


                     NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE FUND

     on the immigration status of the petitioner (U.S. citizen or 
     legal permanent resident); nationality of the applicant; 
     processing time; and field office or service center to which 
     the application was assigned. The briefing will also include 
     reasons for delays in processing applications and petitions, 
     including employment authorizations, and what steps USCIS is 
     taking to address the delays.
       Fee Waivers.--USCIS is encouraged to continue the use of 
     fee waivers for applicants who demonstrate an inability to 
     pay the naturalization fee, and to consider, in consultation 
     with the Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services 
     Ombudsman (CIS Ombudsman), whether the current naturalization 
     fee is a barrier to naturalization for those earning between 
     150 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines 
     and who are not currently eligible for a fee waiver, and 
     provide a briefing to the Committees within 60 days of the 
     date of enactment of this Act.
       Further, USCIS is encouraged to refrain from imposing fees 
     on any individual filing a humanitarian petition, including, 
     but not limited to, individuals requesting asylum; refugee

     Special Immigrant Juvenile status; a T or U visa; or requests 
     adjustment of status or petitions for another benefit after 
     receiving humanitarian protection. USCIS shall consult with 
     the CIS Ombudsman on the impact of imposing such fees and 
     provide a briefing to the Committees within 60 days of the 
     date of enactment of this Act.

     including: processing efficiencies; combatting human 
     trafficking; protecting worker rights; and reducing employer 
     burden, to include the disadvantages imposed on such 
     employers due to the current semiannual distribution of H-2B 
     visas on October 1 and April 1 of each fiscal year.
       USCIS is encouraged to leverage prior year materials 
     relating to the issuance of additional H-2B visas, to include 
     previous temporary final rules, to improve processing 
     efficiencies.


                           FEDERAL ASSISTANCE

     later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act on 
     the proposed allocation of Research and Development funds by 
     project and to subsequently update the Committees on any 
     changes from the planned allocation. The intent of Senate 
     language on Software Assurances is to support self-adapting 
     security mechanisms that can quickly respond to cyberattacks 
     by deploying countermeasures to increase system resiliency.

     Support, including an increase of $841,000 for personnel cost 
     adjustments.
       The proposed realignments of funding for radiation portal

                        RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

       The agreement provides $69,181,000 for Research and

     processes.
       Section 404. The agreement continues a provision 
     authorizing the Director of FLETC to distribute funds for 
     incurred training expenses.
       Section 405. The agreement continues a provision directing 
     the FLETC Accreditation Board to lead the federal law

                      TITLE V--GENERAL PROVISIONS


                    (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS OF FUNDS)

       Section 501. The agreement continues a provision directing 
     that no part of any appropriation shall remain available for 
     obligation beyond the current year unless expressly provided.
       Section 502. The agreement continues a provision providing 
     authority to merge unexpended balances of prior 
     appropriations with new appropriation accounts, to be used 
     for the same purpose, subject to reprogramming guidelines.
       Section 503. The agreement continues a provision limiting 
     reprogramming authority for funds within an appropriation and 
     providing limited authority for transfers between 
     appropriations. All components funded by the Department of 
     Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2020, must comply with 
     these transfer and reprogramming requirements.
       The Department must notify the Committees on Appropriations 
     prior to each reprogramming of funds that would reduce 
     programs, projects, activities, or personnel by ten percent 
     or more. Notifications are also required for each 
     reprogramming of funds that would increase a program, 
     project, or activity by more than $5,000,000 or ten percent, 
     whichever is less. The Department must submit these 
     notifications to the Committees on Appropriations at least 15 
     days in advance of any such reprogramming.
       For purposes of reprogramming notifications, ``program, 
     project, or activity'' is defined as an amount identified in 
     the detailed funding table located at the end of this 
     statement or an amount directed for a specific purpose in 
     this statement. Also, for purposes of reprogramming 
     notifications, the creation of a new program, project, or 
     activity is defined as any significant new activity that has 
     not been explicitly justified to the Congress in budget 
     justification material and for which funds have not been 
     appropriated by the Congress. For further guidance when 
     determining which movements of funds are subject to section 
     503, the Department is reminded to follow GAO's definition of 
     ``program, project, or activity'' as detailed in the GAO's A 
     Glossary of Terms Used in the Federal Budget Process. Within 
     30 days of the date of enactment of this Act, the Department 
     shall submit to the Committees a table delineating PPAs 
     subject to section 503 notification requirements, as defined 
     in this paragraph.

[[Page H11022]]

       Limited transfer authority is provided to give the 
     Department flexibility in responding to emerging requirements 
     and significant changes in circumstances, but is not 
     primarily intended to facilitate the implementation of new 
     programs, projects, or activities that were not proposed in a 
     formal budget submission. Transfers may not reduce accounts 
     by more than five percent or increase accounts by more than 
     ten percent. The Committees on Appropriations must be 
     notified not fewer than 30 days in advance of any transfer.
       To avoid violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act, the 
     Secretary shall ensure that any transfer of funds is carried 
     out in compliance with the limitations and requirements of 
     section 503(b). In particular, the Secretary should ensure 
     that any such transfers adhere to the opinion of the 
     Comptroller General's decision in the Matter of: John D. 
     Webster, Director, Financial Services, Library of Congress, 
     dated November 7, 1997, with regard to the definition of an 
     appropriation subject to transfer limitations.
       The Department shall submit notifications on a timely basis 
     and provide complete explanations of the proposed 
     reallocations, including detailed justifications for the 
     increases and offsets, and any specific impact the proposed 
     changes would have on the budget request for the following 
     fiscal year and future-year appropriations requirements. Each 
     notification submitted to the Committees should include a 
     detailed table showing the proposed revisions to funding and 
     FTE - at the account, program, project, and activity level - 
     for the current fiscal year, along with any funding and FTE 
     impacts on the budget year.
       The Department shall manage its programs, projects, and 
     activities within the levels appropriated, and should only 
     submit reprogramming or transfer notifications in cases of 
     unforeseeable and compelling circumstances that could not 
     have been predicted when formulating the budget request for 
     the current fiscal year. When the Department submits a 
     reprogramming or transfer notification and does not receive 
     identical responses from the House and Senate Committees, it 
     is expected to reconcile the differences before proceeding.
       The Department is not to submit a reprogramming or transfer 
     notification after June 30 except in extraordinary 
     circumstances that imminently threaten the safety of human 
     life or the protection of property. If an above-threshold 
     reprogramming or a transfer is needed after June 30, the 
     notification should contain sufficient documentation as to 
     why it meets this statutory exception.
       Deobligated funds are also subject to the reprogramming and 
     transfer limitations and requirements set forth in section 
     503.
       Section 503(f) authorizes the Secretary to transfer up to 
     $20,000,000 to address immigration emergencies after 
     notifying the Committees of such transfer at least five days 
     in advance.
       Section 504. The agreement continues a provision by 
     reference, prohibiting funds appropriated or otherwise made 
     available to the Department to make payment to the WCF, 
     except for activities and amounts allowed in the President's 
     fiscal year 2020 budget request. Funds provided to the WCF 
     are available until expended. The Department can only charge 
     components for direct usage of the WCF and these funds may be 
     used only for the purposes consistent with the contributing 
     component. Any funds paid in advance or for reimbursement 
     must reflect the full cost of each service. The Department 
     shall submit a notification prior to adding a new activity to 
     the fund or eliminating an existing activity from the fund. 
     For activities added to the fund, such notifications shall 
     detail the source of funds by PPA. In addition, the 
     Department shall submit quarterly WCF execution reports to 
     the Committees that include activity level detail.
       Section 505. The agreement continues a provision providing 
     that not to exceed 50 percent of unobligated balances from 
     prior-year appropriations for each Operations and Support 
     appropriation, shall remain available through fiscal year 
     2021, subject to section 503 reprogramming requirements.
       Section 506. The agreement continues a provision that deems 
     intelligence activities to be specifically authorized during 
     fiscal year 2020 until the enactment of an Act authorizing 
     intelligence activities for fiscal year 2020.
       Section 507. The agreement continues a provision requiring 
     notification to the Committees at least three days before DHS 
     executes or announces grant allocations; grant awards; 
     contract awards, including contracts covered by the Federal 
     Acquisition Regulation; other transaction agreements; letters 
     of intent; task or delivery orders on multiple contract 
     awards totaling $1,000,000 or more; task or delivery orders 
     greater than $10,000,000 from multi-year funds; or sole-
     source grant awards. Notifications shall include a 
     description of the project or projects or activities to be 
     funded and the location, including city, county, and state. 
     If the Secretary determines that compliance would pose 
     substantial risk to health, human life, or safety, an award 
     may be made without prior notification but the Committees 
     shall be notified within 5 full business days after such 
     award or letter is issued.
       Section 508. The agreement continues a provision 
     prohibiting all agencies from purchasing, constructing, or 
     leasing additional facilities for federal law enforcement 
     training without advance notification to the Committees.
       Section 509. The agreement continues a provision 
     prohibiting the use of funds for any construction, repair, 
     alteration, or acquisition project for which a prospectus, if 
     required under chapter 33 of title 40, United States Code, 
     has not been approved.
       Section 510. The agreement continues a provision that 
     includes and consolidates by reference prior-year statutory 
     provisions related to a contracting officer's technical 
     representative training; sensitive security information; and 
     the use of funds in conformance with section 303 of the 
     Energy Policy Act of 1992.
       Section 511. The agreement continues a provision 
     prohibiting the use of funds in contravention of the Buy 
     American Act.
       Section 512. The agreement continues a provision regarding 
     the oath of allegiance required by section 337 of the 
     Immigration and Nationality Act.
       Section 513. The agreement continues a provision that 
     precludes DHS from using funds in this Act to carry out 
     reorganization authority. This prohibition is not intended to 
     prevent the Department from carrying out routine or small 
     reallocations of personnel or functions within components, 
     subject to section 503 of this Act. This section prevents 
     large-scale reorganization of the Department, which should be 
     acted on legislatively by the relevant congressional 
     committees of jurisdiction. Any DHS proposal to reorganize 
     components that is included as part of a budget request will 
     be considered by the Committees.
       Section 514. The agreement continues a provision 
     prohibiting funds for planning, testing, piloting, or 
     developing a national identification card.
       Section 515. The agreement continues a provision directing

     with below satisfactory performance or performance that fails 
     to meet the basic requirements of the contract.
       Section 520. The agreement continues a provision 
     prohibiting the use of funds to enter into a federal contract

     137 of title 10 U.S.C., and the Federal Acquisition
