     Bureau for the use of the real and personal property 
     (including buses and vans), the funds of the charter school 
     are kept separate and apart from Bureau funds, and the Bureau 
     does not assume any obligation for charter school programs of 
     the State in which the school is located if the charter

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2996), making 
     appropriations for the Department of the Interior, 
     Environment and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending 
     September 30, 2010, and for other purposes, submit the 
     following joint statement to the House and the Senate in 
     explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the 
     managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
     report.
       The conference agreement on H.R. 2996 incorporates some of 
     the provisions of both the House and the Senate versions of 
     the bill. Report language and allocations set forth in either 
     House Report 111-180 or Senate Report 111-38 that are not 
     changed by the conference are approved by the committee of 
     conference. The statement of the managers, while repeating 
     some report language for emphasis, does not negate the 
     language referenced above unless expressly provided herein.
       Except as expressly provided otherwise, any reference to 
     ``this Act'' or ``at the end of this statement'' shall be 
     treated as referring only to the provisions of this division.

   DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ENVIRONMENT, AND RELATED 
                   AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2010

                        REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

       The following are the procedures governing reprogramming 
     actions for programs and activities funded in the Department 
     of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies 
     Appropriations Act.
       Definitions.--``Reprogramming,'' as defined in these 
     procedures, includes the reallocation of funds from one 
     budget activity, budget line-item or program area, to another 
     within any appropriation funded in this Act. In cases where 
     either the House or Senate Committee report displays an 
     allocation of an appropriation below those levels, that more 
     detailed level shall be the basis for reprogramming.
       For construction, land acquisition and forest legacy 
     accounts, a reprogramming constitutes the reallocation of 
     funds, including unobligated balances, from one construction, 
     land acquisition, or forest legacy project to another such 
     project. The construction, land acquisition and forest legacy 
     projects and amounts identified in the ``Incorporation of 
     Congressionally Requested Projects'' table at the end of this 
     statement of managers may be reprogrammed, but only pursuant 
     to Section 444 of this Act.
       A reprogramming shall also consist of any significant 
     departure from the program described in the agency's budget 
     justifications. This includes proposed reorganizations, 
     especially those of significant national or regional 
     importance, even without a change in funding. Any change to 
     the organization table presented in the budget justification 
     shall be subject to this requirement.
       General Guidelines for Reprogramming.--
       (a) A reprogramming should be made only when an unforeseen 
     situation arises; and then only if postponement of the 
     project or the activity until the next appropriation year 
     would result in actual loss or damage.
       (b) Any project or activity, which may be deferred through 
     reprogramming, shall not later be accomplished by means of 
     further reprogramming; but, instead, funds should again be 
     sought for the deferred project or activity through the 
     regular appropriations process.
       (c) Except under the most urgent situations, reprogramming 
     should not be employed to initiate new programs or increase 
     allocations specifically denied or limited by Congress, or to 
     decrease allocations specifically increased by the Congress.
       (d) Reprogramming proposals submitted to the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations for approval shall be 
     considered approved 30 calendar days after receipt if the 
     Committees have posed no objection. However, agencies will be 
     expected to extend the approval deadline if specifically 
     requested by either Committee.
       Criteria and Exceptions.--A reprogramming must be submitted 
     to the Committees in writing prior to implementation if it 
     exceeds $1,000,000 annually or results in an increase or 
     decrease of more than 10 percent annually in affected 
     programs, with the following exceptions:
       (a) With regard to the Tribal priority allocations of the 
     Bureau of Indian Affairs, there is no restriction on 
     reprogrammings among these programs. However, the Bureau 
     shall report on all reprogrammings made during a given fiscal 
     year no later than 60 days after the end of the fiscal year.
       (b) With regard to the Environmental Protection Agency, 
     State and Tribal Assistance Grants account, the Committee 
     does not require reprogramming requests associated with 
     States and Tribes Partnership Grants.
       Assessments.--``Assessment'' as defined in these procedures 
     shall refer to any charges, reserves, or holdbacks applied to 
     a budget activity or budget line item for costs associated 
     with general agency administrative costs, overhead costs, 
     working capital expenses, or contingencies.
       (a) No assessment shall be levied against any program, 
     budget activity, subactivity, budget line item, or project 
     funded by the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
     Appropriations Act unless such assessment and the basis 
     therefore are presented to the Committees on Appropriations 
     in the budget justifications and are subsequently approved by 
     the Committees. The explanation for any assessment in the 
     budget justification shall show the amount of the assessment, 
     the activities assessed, and the purpose of the funds.
       (b) Proposed changes to estimated assessments, as such 
     estimates were presented in annual budget justifications, 
     shall be submitted through the reprogramming process and 
     shall be subject to the same dollar and reporting criteria as 
     any other reprogramming.
       (c) The Committees direct that each agency or bureau which 
     utilizes assessments shall submit an annual report to the 
     Committees which provides details on the use of all funds 
     assessed from any other budget activity, line item, 
     subactivity, or project.
       (d) In no case shall contingency funds or assessments be 
     used to finance projects and activities disapproved or 
     limited by Congress, or to finance programs or activities 
     that could be foreseen and included in the normal budget 
     review process.
       Quarterly Reports.--All reprogrammings between budget 
     activities, budget line-items, program areas or the more 
     detailed activity levels shown in the Statement of the 
     Managers, including those below the monetary thresholds 
     established above, shall be reported to the Committees within 
     60 days of the end of each quarter and shall include 
     cumulative totals for each budget activity, budget line item, 
     or construction, land acquisition, or forest legacy project.
       Land Acquisitions, Easements, and Forest Legacy.--Lands 
     shall not be acquired for more than the approved appraised 
     value (as addressed in section 301(3) of Public Law 91-646), 
     unless such acquisitions are submitted to the Committees on 
     Appropriations for approval in compliance with these 
     procedures.
       Land Exchanges.--Land exchanges, wherein the estimated 
     value of the Federal lands to be exchanged is greater than 
     $1,000,000, shall not be consummated until the Committees 
     have had a 30-day period in which to examine the proposed 
     exchange. In addition, the Committee shall be provided 
     advance notification of exchanges valued between $500,000 and 
     $1,000,000.
       Budget Structure.--The budget activity or line item 
     structure for any agency appropriation account shall not be 
     altered without advance approval of the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations.
       Report Language.--Any limitation or directive contained in 
     either the House or Senate report which is not contradicted 
     by the other report nor specifically denied in the conference 
     report shall be considered as having been approved by both 
     Houses of Congress.

                   RENEWABLE ENERGY AND PUBLIC LANDS

       The conferees understand that renewable energy will become 
     a more significant source of power for the Nation and that 
     the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service will 
     play a prominent role in its development. However, the 
     conferees are concerned about the impacts these projects may 
     have on the landscape and water resources, particularly those 
     for wind and solar power. Proposed solar projects can each 
     cover several square miles and the newest wind turbines are 
     over 500 feet tall. Appropriate siting of these projects and 
     cost-appropriate size limitations are critical to ensuring 
     that the pristine landscapes, limited water resources, and 
     magnificent views of the country's public lands and 
     coastlines are protected.
       Accordingly, within 180 days of enactment, the conferees 
     direct the Department of the Interior to submit a report in 
     consultation with the Forest Service on the criteria used for 
     siting renewable energy projects, including the extent to 
     which protection of scenic landscapes, ridgetops, water 
     resources, habitat including that for endangered species, and 
     shorelines will be considered. The report should also provide 
     a detailed strategic plan on how the Department and the 
     Forest Service will coordinate the development of such 
     projects, particularly in areas where there is mixed 
     ownership or management by the Department of the Interior, 
     Forest Service, Department of Defense, and non-Federal 
     landowners. Additionally, the report should identify 
     specifically what areas of the public lands and the Outer 
     Continental Shelf will be considered for projects based on: 
     (1) their potential for renewable energy generation; (2) what 
     additional transmission lines will be necessary to connect 
     these new sources of power to the energy grid; (3) where 
     these transmission lines will be placed; (4) the methodology 
     to be used to limit the size of solar troughs and 
     photovoltaic facilities, and (5) the impact on water 
     resources.
       The report should also include an analysis of the useful 
     life of renewable energy sites and provide an explanation of 
     how the infrastructure will be removed from the public lands 
     when it is no longer functional. The conferees believe that 
     some mechanism, such as a bond put forth by the permittees, 
     should

[[Page 25958]]

     be utilized by the Department and the Forest Service so that 
     the government does not have to pay for the removal of these 
     large facilities after they are no longer viable.
       The Department of the Interior and Forest Service should 
     consult with the Congress on a regular basis as they proceed 
     with the development of policies and the preparation of 
     environmental documents and permitting of renewable energy 
     projects.
       The conferees believe that renewable energy developers 
     should have less difficulty permitting their projects on 
     disturbed private lands than on pristine public lands, in 
     order to facilitate greater species protection and 
     stewardship of public resources and public lands. The 
     conferees recommend that the Secretary evaluate whether a 
     cooperative agreement with States under Section 6 of the 
     Endangered Species Act, the establishment of a Section 4(d) 
     rule under the same Act, or the creation of a template 
     ``general habitat conservation plan'' would improve the 
     permitting process for solar projects on private lands in the 
     California desert.

              GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE AND ADAPTATION

       The conference agreement includes a major investment in 
     science and management related to impacts of global warming. 
     Overall, the bill provides over $400,000,000, including funds 
     for the Department of the Interior climate change initiative 
     and substantial investments at the Environmental Protection 
     Agency, Forest Service, and Smithsonian Institution. The 
     conference agreement supports direction provided by both the 
     House and the Senate regarding this issue. This includes the 
     need for a national strategy for dealing with climate change, 
     as well as continued development of the National Climate 
     Change and Wildlife Science Center at the U.S. Geological 
     Survey as a model for further implementation of an integrated 
     approach to climate change science and adaptation by the 
     Interior Department bureaus. The conference agreement also 
     includes a provision in Section 426 requiring a detailed 
     report on the Administration's obligations, expenditures and 
     activities regarding climate change programs. The conferees 
     expect that the next budget request will include cross-
     cutting tables for all Federal climate change related 
     activities including climate change observation, science, and 
     management implementation of adaptation and mitigation.
       The conferees note the previous direction provided within 
     the fiscal year 2009 appropriations act directing the 
     Secretary of the Interior to develop a national strategy to 
     assist fish, wildlife, plants, and associated ecological 
     processes in becoming more resilient, adapting to, and 
     surviving the impacts of climate change. This conference 
     agreement provides ample funds to accomplish substantial 
     scientific and management activities, but this needs to be 
     done within the context of an integrated approach among the 
     various Federal departments, States, Tribes and other 
     institutions. The conferees urge the Council on Environmental 
     Quality, working closely with the Department of the Interior 
     as the lead department, to develop a national, government-
     wide strategy to address climate impacts on fish, wildlife, 
     plants, and associated ecological processes. It should 
     provide that there is integration, coordination, and public 
     accountability to ensure efficiency and avoid duplication. 
     The conferees expect to receive a timeline and a blueprint 
     for the completion of such a national strategic planning 
     effort, as well as regular updates as progress is made.
       The conferees are encouraged by aspects of the recent 
     Interior Department Secretarial Order addressing the impacts 
     of climate change on America's water, land and other natural 
     and cultural resources, as well as the draft Fish and 
     Wildlife Service national strategy for climate change 
     adaptation, mitigation and engagement. However, it is 
     essential that further departmental implementation of the 
     Secretary's order on climate change build upon the successful 
     National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC) 
     and its approach to provide regional science application 
     centers focused on fauna, flora and ecological processes as 
     previously described in Congressional direction and the 
     budget request. The future identity and activities of the 
     NCCWSC must be distinct and accountable, while also working 
     with other departmental and national efforts on climate 
     change science and applications.

                            LAND ACQUISITION

       The conferees are concerned that lands acquired with funds 
     appropriated via the Land and Water Conservation Fund are 
     being, or have been, made available for uses inconsistent 
     with the recreation, conservation or public access for which 
     they were purchased. Accordingly, the conferees direct the 
     Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to 
     notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
     before any land use or management decision is made that will 
     change the use of the land from conservation or recreational 
     use. Additionally, the conferees encourage the Secretaries of 
     Agriculture and Interior to include land acquisition projects 
     that provide increased access to our Federally-owned public 
     lands to provide opportunities for the public to recreate and 
     enjoy our nation's natural resources.
       The conferees direct the agencies to use inholdings funding 
     to acquire high priority lands that are threatened by 
     development and are partially or entirely bordered by land 
     currently owned by the Federal government. The conferees have 
     been advised that each of the land management agencies has 
     unique inholding acquisition policies and practices that have 
     not been coordinated with each of the other agencies. It is 
     the intention of the conferees that there be a single set of 
     policies for implementing Land and Water Conservation Fund 
     acquisitions to the maximum extent possible. Therefore, the 
     Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture are directed to 
     jointly examine the policies and practices of each land 
     management agency and submit a report on findings and 
     recommendations to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations by June 30, 2010.
       The conferees continue to be concerned about the delays in 
     obtaining adequate appraisals for acquisition of Federal 
     lands. Consistent with the language included in the House 
     report, the conferees direct the Department of the Interior 
     to revisit the Department-wide appraisal services 
     consolidation and immediately address the undue delays in 
     obtaining appraisals for Federal land acquisition projects.

                  TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                       Bureau of Land Management


                   MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement provides $958,571,000 for 
     Management of Lands and Resources instead of $950,496,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $965,721,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by activity for 
     this account is included in the table at the end of the 
     statement. In addition to the directions provided in the 
     House and Senate committee reports, the conference agreement 
     also provides the following directions:
       Range Management.--Within the funds provided for range 
     management, the agreement designates $1,000,000 to help 
     reduce the backlog in grazing permits. The conferees 
     recognize that the increasing numbers of expiring permits, 
     increased costs for processing, and litigation, has resulted 
     in a significant backlog and workload in processing permits. 
     This funding should be targeted to those areas where 
     litigation is causing significant delays.
       Cultural Resources Management.--The conference agreement 
     includes $500,000 above the request for cultural resource 
     activities in wilderness lands as authorized by the Omnibus 
     Public Lands Act of 2009. The Senate had recommended 
     $1,000,000 for this activity.
       Wild Horse and Burro Management.--The conference agreement 
     provides $63,986,000 for wild horse and burro management, an 
     increase of $23,373,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level. 
     This is a 58 percent increase, by far the largest increase 
     ever provided for this program. The conference agreement 
     requires the Bureau to follow the Senate direction for this 
     program. The conferees note that the bill language proposed 
     by the Senate within administrative provisions provides that 
     funds shall not be available for the destruction of healthy, 
     unadopted, wild horses and burros in the care of the BLM or 
     its contractors, or for the sale of wild horses and burros 
     that results in their destruction for processing into 
     commercial products.
       Wildlife Management.--Within the funds provided for 
     wildlife management, the conference agreement includes 
     increases of $500,000 each above the request for the general 
     wildlife and plant conservation programs as was proposed by 
     the House.
       Threatened and Endangered Species Management.--The 
     conference agreement includes the Senate-proposed additions 
     of $200,000 for the general program and $300,000 for redband 
     trout and salmon habitat assessment and restoration in 
     Nevada.
       Realty and Ownership Management.--The conference agreement 
     includes the Senate proposed additions of $100,000 for the 
     general cadastral survey program and $300,000 for the Utah 
     Rural Cadastral Data Program.
       The conferees strongly encourage the BLM to apply the 
     necessary resources to complete landscape scale assessments 
     by the end of fiscal year 2010 on the Mojave Basin and Range, 
     Central Basin and Range, Sonoran Desert, and the Colorado 
     Plateau. These assessments should, at a minimum, include 
     spatial analyses of priority conservation areas, renewable 
     energy potential, invasive species, and wildfires.
       Resource Protection and Maintenance.--The conference 
     agreement includes a $500,000 increase for law enforcement 
     and the Senate proposed addition of $1,000,000 for travel and 
     transportation plans for lands authorized by the Omnibus 
     Public Lands Act of 2009.
       National Monuments and Conservation Areas.--The conference 
     agreement includes a $2,500,000 general program increase 
     above the request for national monuments and conservation 
     area management.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes a 
     $1,000,000 rescission of funds provided in fiscal year 2009 
     for oil shale core samples; this project was accomplished 
     from other funding sources. A technical change is

     included to correct language regarding mining claim 
     maintenance fees and location fees.


                              CONSTRUCTION

       The conference agreement includes the funds requested for 
     Construction, plus additions recommended by the Senate of 
     $36,000 for architectural and engineering services and 
     $2,000,000 for the California National Historic Trail visitor 
     center interpretative displays in Nevada. The funding 
     includes:

     California Grant Lands. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     activity is included in the table at the end of the 
     statement.


               Forest Ecosystem Health and Recovery Fund

                   (Revolving Fund, Special Account)

       The conference agreement includes language, as in the past, 
     allowing funds made available in the Forest Ecosystem Health 
     and Recovery Fund to be used for various forestry purposes 
     including planning, preparing, implementing and monitoring

       The conference agreement includes an indefinite 
     appropriation of not less than $10,000,000 to be derived from 
     public lands receipts and Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act 
     lands grazing receipts. This was requested and was proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate. Receipts are used for 
     construction, purchase, and maintenance of range 
     improvements, such as seeding, fence construction, weed 
     control, water development, fish and wildlife habitat 
     improvement, and planning and design of these projects.


               SERVICE CHARGES, DEPOSITS, AND FORFEITURES

       The conference agreement includes an indefinite 
     appropriation estimated to be $31,255,000 for Service 
     Charges, Deposits, and Forfeitures as requested and proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate. The appropriation is offset 
     with fees collected under specified sections of the Federal 
     Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 and other Acts to pay 
     for reasonable administrative and other costs.


                       MISCELLANEOUS TRUST FUNDS

       The conference agreement includes an indefinite 
     appropriation estimated to be $20,130,000 for Miscellaneous 
     Trust Funds as requested and proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate.


                       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

       The conference agreement includes the Administrative 
     Provisions as requested, and includes two additional items 
     proposed by the Senate. The first provides authority for the 
     BLM to carry out operations by direct expenditure, contracts, 
     grants, cooperative agreements and reimbursable agreements 
     with public and private entities. The second provides that 
     appropriations shall not be available for destruction of 
     healthy, unadopted, wild horses and burros in the care of the 
     BLM or its contractors or for the sale of wild horses and 
     burros that results in their destruction for processing into 
     commercial products. The agreement also includes a technical 
     correction to a minor amendment made in fiscal year 2009 
     regarding mining claim maintenance and location fees.

                United States Fish and Wildlife Service


                          RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

       The conference agreement includes $1,269,406,000 instead of 
     $1,248,756,000 as proposed by the House and $1,244,386,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     program area and activity is included in the table at the end 
     of the statement. In addition to the directions included in 
     the House and Senate Committee reports, the conference 
     agreement includes the following directions:
       Ecological Services.--The conference agreement includes 
     $311,227,000 instead of $295,127,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $305,677,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Within the funds provided for the listing program there is 
     $11,632,000 for critical habitat and $10,471,000 for listing. 
     Within the funds for candidate conservation, there is 
     $1,000,000 for sage grouse conservation in Idaho and a 
     general increase of $1,000,000. There is an increase in the 
     consultation program of $2,500,000 for increased monitoring 
     and record-keeping pursuant to recommendations by the GAO.
       Within the funds for the recovery program, there is 
     $3,000,000 for responding to the State of the Birds report, 
     $1,000,000 for the livestock loss demonstration program, 
     $1,900,000 for increased research and monitoring on white 
     nose syndrome in bats, $350,000 for Lahontan cutthroat trout 
     restoration, $1,500,000 for endangered species grants to be 
     administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, 
     $350,000 for sea eider conservation efforts, $500,000 for 
     whooping crane breeding facilities in Louisiana, and an 
     increase of $200,000 for additional wolf monitoring in 
     western States.
       The conferees support the requested funding for aplomado 
     falcon and California condor recovery. The Service is 
     encouraged to continue to support these ongoing, successful 
     recovery efforts.
       The conferees intend that the funding included for the 
     State of the Birds report be used to begin to initiate 
     actions in response to the recently published multi-agency 
     report, The State of the Birds, United States of America, 
     2009. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the 
     crises and challenges confronting birds in every part of the 
     country. The situation for native birds in Hawaii is 
     particularly dire. Seventy-one known species of Hawaiian 
     birds have gone extinct. Predator control and habitat 
     preservation are critical to the survival of the 31 species 
     of endangered birds remaining in Hawaii. The conferees 
     therefore recommend that a significant portion of this 
     funding be used to develop a comprehensive strategy, hire 
     staff, and begin on the ground projects to recover endangered 
     and threatened bird species in Hawaii.
       The conference agreement includes $1,000,000 for the Wolf 
     Livestock Loss Demonstration Project as authorized by the 
     Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009. These funds will 
     be used to provide grants to States and Indian Tribes to 
     assist livestock producers in undertaking proactive, non-
     lethal activities to reduce the risk of livestock loss due to 
     predation by wolves, and to compensate livestock producers, 
     as appropriate, for livestock losses due to such predation. 
     This is a new demonstration program and the conferees 
     encourage the agencies to act quickly to implement the 
     program.
       The Service should implement program guidelines that 
     establish criteria for the disbursal of funds to ensure that 
     the funds are spent efficiently and effectively with a 
     minimum potential for waste and abuse. The Service should 
     consult with representatives from the relevant agencies and 
     key stakeholders to create the guidelines. The guidelines 
     should ensure that each participating State/Tribe allocates 
     money evenly between compensation and non-lethal activities 
     specified in the Act and, in order to work towards reducing 
     depredations overall, that only livestock owners who 
     demonstrate reasonable use of nonlethal methods will remain 
     eligible for compensation after one initial incident of 
     reimbursable depredation.
       The conferees recommend $1,900,000 for research, 
     monitoring, and related activities to respond to the massive 
     mortality in bats from white nose syndrome (WNS) in the 
     northeastern and Appalachian States. This is an increase of 
     $1,400,000 over the Senate proposed amount. WNS is spreading 
     rapidly and

[[Page 25960]]

     poses threats of extinction to several bat species. The 
     Service is spearheading efforts to better understand this 
     deadly disease and learn how to limit its spread, working in 
     conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey, National Park 
     Service, U.S. Forest Service, State and local partners, 
     scientists, caving groups and conservation organizations.
       Within the funds for the partners for fish and wildlife 
     program, there is $6,000,000 for climate change projects, 
     $1,000,000 for invasive species management in Hawaii, 
     $350,000 for the Natural Resources Economic Enterprises 
     Program at Mississippi State University, $500,000 for milfoil 
     control in Maine lakes, and $500,000 for stream bank 
     restoration in Georgia.
       Within the funds provided, the conferees have included 
     $750,000 for the Secretary of the Interior to contract with 
     the National Academy of Sciences to conduct studies in 
     support of sustainable water and environmental management of 
     the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California. A study shall 
     be completed no later than March 15, 2010, addressing 
     questions drafted by the Secretary on the subjects of (1) 
     whether the science supports the assumptions and conclusions 
     in the biological opinions regarding the Bureau of 
     Reclamation operations in the Central Valley, and (2) whether 
     lesser restrictions on pumping could avoid jeopardy to the 
     species.
       There are program increases of $1,000,000 for the coastal 
     program, $250,000 for the national wetlands inventory and 
     $500,000 for the environmental contaminants program.
       National Wildlife Refuge System.--The conference agreement 
     provides $503,279,000 for the National Wildlife Refuge System 
     as proposed by the House, instead of $488,629,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate.
       Within the funds provided for the refuge system there are 
     increases over the request of $16,000,000 for wildlife and 
     habitat management, $1,000,000 for the volunteer program, 
     $2,000,000 for refuge law enforcement, and $1,000,000 for 
     conservation planning. Within the funding provided for refuge 
     system maintenance, there is a $2,000,000 increase for annual 
     maintenance and a $2,000,000 decrease for deferred 
     maintenance. Within the funds provided for wildlife and 
     habitat management, the Service is directed to provide 
     $1,200,000 for invasive rat eradication on Palmyra Atoll to 
     protect native bird populations.
       The conferees remain concerned about the situation on the 
     southwest border and encourage the Service to direct a 
     portion of the increase for law enforcement to the southwest.
       The conferees are concerned that the Service is not 
     dedicating sufficient resources to the management of the new 
     marine national monuments and urge the Service to increase 
     resources for managing the monuments and partnering with 
     other Federal, international, and private entities.
       Migratory Bird Management, Law Enforcement, and 
     International Affairs.--The conference agreement provides 
     $134,743,000 for migratory bird management, law enforcement 
     and international affairs instead of $133,593,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $133,573,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Within the funds provided for migratory birds, law 
     enforcement and international programs, there are increases 
     of $500,000 for new urban treaties as a part of the 
     Department-wide youth initiative, $1,000,000 for joint 
     ventures under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, 
     $2,000,000 for law enforcement operations, $1,000,000 for the 
     wildlife without borders program, and $150,000 for the Caddo 
     Lake Ramsar Center. The increase for joint ventures is 
     intended to provide all approved joint ventures with 
     sufficient base funding.
       The conferees are aware of the impacts of the chytrid 
     disease on amphibian species worldwide. Amphibian species are 
     disappearing at over 200 times their historic rate. The 
     conferees urge the Service to use a portion of the increase 
     provided for the wildlife without borders program to work 
     with the international conservation community to establish 
     conservation and captive breeding programs as well as to 
     support the development and testing of novel methods to 
     combat amphibian chytrid to conserve the most imperiled of 
     these species.
       Fisheries.--The conference agreement provides $148,345,000 
     for the fisheries program instead of $144,195,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $143,695,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Within the funds provided for fisheries and aquatic 
     resource conservation, there is: $2,150,000 to conduct 
     scientific review of the Klamath, North Coast, and Central 
     Valley hatchery operations in California; $1,000,000 for mass 
     marking fisheries in the Great Lakes; $500,000 general 
     increase for fish hatchery operations; $500,000 for native 
     freshwater mussel recovery; $1,300,000 to establish a 
     Fisheries Resource Office in West Virginia to focus on 
     aquatic species restoration and management in the Appalachian 
     Highlands; $2,000,000 to control the spread of and eradicate 
     invasive quagga and zebra mussels; and $200,000 for sea otter 
     and Steller sea lion conservation in Alaska.
       The conference agreement includes $2,000,000 above the 
     President's request for the Service to respond to the urgent 
     nationwide problem of invasive mussels entering lakes and 
     rivers in the U.S. These mussels crowd out native species and 
     encrust any hard surface, including municipal water supply 
     pipes and boat motors. They are easily spread by watercraft 
     from one location to another and are nearly impossible to 
     eradicate once established. For example, the infestation of 
     quagga mussels in Lake Mead was first found in 2007. The 
     number of quagga mussels has grown to 3 trillion since then 
     and is likely irreversible. Today, infestation by quagga and 
     zebra mussels and Asian clams is threatening the pristine 
     waters of Lake Tahoe. The introduction of these aquatic 
     nuisance species to the Lake Tahoe region could have 
     devastating effects to the regional economy, including 
     effects on recreation, tourism, property values, and other 
     infrastructure. Therefore, the conferees strongly encourage 
     the Service to devote a significant portion of the increase 
     to the study, construction, staffing, and other expenses 
     necessary for watercraft inspection and decontamination 
     stations to be located away from boat and vessel ramps at 
     Lake Tahoe, Echo Lake, and Fallen Leaf Lake. The conferees 
     recommend that such inspection and decontamination stations 
     be located on each of the seven roads leading to the Lake 
     Tahoe region. Further, the conferees believe that the Service 
     should increase its coordination with local, State and 
     Federal entities, including the U.S. Forest Service, to 
     prevent quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species 
     from entering the Lake Tahoe ecosystem.
       Climate Change Adaptive Science.--The conference agreement 
     includes $20,000,000 for climate change adaptive science, as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.
       The conferees have included the requested funding for 
     climate change activities. Consistent with language included 
     elsewhere in this statement, the Service is directed to 
     implement its climate change activities, including the 
     landscape conservation cooperatives, within the scope of the 
     Service's national strategy for climate change, the 
     Secretary's order on climate change, and the National Climate 
     Change and Wildlife Science Center in the U.S. Geological 
     Survey. Additionally, the Service should fully integrate 
     these activities with other Federal agencies, States, Tribes 
     and other partners.
       General Administration.--The conference agreement provides 
     $152,812,000 for general administration as proposed by the 
     Senate instead of $153,562,000 as proposed by the House.
       Within the funds provided for general administration there 
     is an increase of $750,000 for necessary maintenance at the 
     National Conservation Training Center. Funding for the 
     National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is $7,537,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       Sale of Surplus Property.--The conference agreement 
     includes the proposed reduction of $1,000,000 due to the sale 
     of surplus property.


                              CONSTRUCTION

       The conference agreement includes $37,439,000 instead of 
     $21,139,000 as proposed by the House and $39,741,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement includes the 
     following distribution of funds:

       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes bill 
     language allowing the Service to fund limited administrative 
     costs for the Highlands Conservation Act program 
     administration.

            Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund

       The conference agreement provides $85,000,000 for the 
     Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund instead of 
     $100,000,000 as proposed by the House and $85,001,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The detailed allocation of funding by program area and 
     activity is included in the table at the end of the 
     statement.

                     National Wildlife Refuge Fund

       The conference agreement provides $14,500,000 for payments 
     to counties authorized by the National Wildlife Refuge Fund, 
     as proposed by the Senate, instead of $14,100,000 as proposed 
     by the House.

               North American Wetlands Conservation Fund

       The conference agreement provides $47,647,000 for the North 
     American Wetlands Conservation Fund instead of $52,647,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $45,147,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. A detailed allocation of funding by activity is 
     included in the table at the end of this section of the 
     statement.

                Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation

       The conference agreement provides $5,000,000 for 
     Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation, as proposed by the 
     Senate instead of $5,250,000 as proposed by the House.

                Multinational Species Conservation Fund

       The conference agreement provides $11,500,000 for the 
     Multinational Species Conservation Fund as proposed by both 
     the House and the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding 
     by program area and activity is included in the table at the 
     end of the statement.


                    STATE AND TRIBAL WILDLIFE GRANTS

       The conference agreement provides $90,000,000 for State and 
     Tribal Wildlife Grants instead of $115,000,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $80,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 
     is included in the table at the end of the statement. In 
     addition to the directions included in the House and Senate 
     Committee reports, the conference agreement includes the 
     following directions:
       The conference agreement includes $12,000,000 for 
     competitive grants, including $7,000,000 for Tribes and 
     $5,000,000 for States. The conferees are supportive of these 
     competitive grant programs as a way to promote wildlife 
     conservation. The conferees direct the Service to report to 
     the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the use 
     of these competitive funds in fiscal year 2008 and 2009, 
     including the types of grants administered and the extent to 
     which these grants were coordinated with other State and 
     Tribal conservation plans. The Service should submit this 
     report within 90 days of enactment of this Act.
       The conference agreement includes $78,000,000, an increase 
     of $15,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level for 
     the State and Tribal apportioned grants. The conferees 
     recognize the need for States, Tribes and Territories to 
     update their plans to respond to climate change, but feel 
     that this can be done within the framework of the required 
     plan updates. Therefore, the conferees have not included 
     language directing a portion of these funds for additional 
     planning efforts focused on climate change. The conferees 
     consider climate change to be an integral component of State 
     and Tribal wildlife action plan implementation and recommend 
     that the States use the increased funding provided for on-
     the-ground conservation projects to adapt and mitigate the 
     effects of climate change on wildlife populations.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement modifies bill 
     language included in the House and Senate bills changing the 
     State share of implementation grants to 35 percent instead of 
     25 percent as proposed by the House and 50 percent as 
     proposed by the Senate. In addition, the conference agreement 
     does not include language included by the House that limits 
     funding to States or territories that do not have approved 
     wildlife action plans. The conferees understand that all 
     States, territories and other jurisdictions now have approved 
     plans.
       The conference agreement does not include requested funds 
     for Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration.


                       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes language, 
     as in the Senate bill, allowing the Service to carry out the 
     operations of programs by direct expenditure, contracts, 
     grants, cooperative agreements and reimbursable agreements 
     with public and private entities. This language was 
     previously included in the Resource Management account.

                         National Park Service


                 OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM

       The conference agreement provides $2,261,559,000 for the 
     Operation of the National Park System instead of 
     $2,260,684,000 as proposed by the House and $2,261,309,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     program and activity for this account is included in the 
     table at the end of the statement. The conference agreement 
     also includes the following specific funding levels and 
     directions:
       Resource Stewardship.--Within the amount provided, the 
     conference agreement provides the request of $10,000,000 for 
     the Climate Impacts Initiative as proposed by the House 
     instead of $8,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     agreement also provides $1,250,000 for the Enhanced Ocean and 
     Coastal Resources program, as proposed by the House instead 
     of $2,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Visitor Services.--Within the amount provided, the 
     conference agreement provides $247,386,000 for Visitor 
     Services as proposed by the Senate instead of $246,511,000 as 
     proposed by the House. The conferees have provided $375,000 
     for the web learning component of the Interpretative 
     Renaissance Plan and redirect $1,000,000 of the request to a 
     new pilot program for teaching American history and civics in 
     the National Parks as proposed by the Senate. The conferees 
     further direct the Service to work with the Department of 
     Education to develop curriculum and bring scholars to park 
     units to instruct students and teachers and within 90 days of 
     enactment provide a report to the House and Senate Committees 
     on Appropriations concerning the status of the pilot program.
       Facilities Operations and Maintenance.--The conference 
     agreement provides $702,013,000 as proposed by the House 
     instead of $703,013,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within the 
     amount provided, the conferees provide $4,388,000 for the 
     facility management software system.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes language 
     to limit the amount for maintenance, repair or rehabilitation 
     projects to $98,622,000 as proposed by the House instead of 
     $99,622,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       National Mall Concerts.--As proposed by the House, the 
     conferees direct the National Park Service to increase 
     funding for this program by $350,000 over the level provided 
     in fiscal year 2009.
       Sesquicentennial Civil War Planning.--The conferees 
     encourage the National Park Service, in collaboration with 
     the Civil War Preservation Trust and other organizations, to 
     update the content of its website and the information 
     available at its Civil War parks and to employ modern 
     technology and adaptive and interactive media to present this 
     information to the public.
       Regional Reorganizations.--The conferees have recently 
     become aware of a planned reorganization of the Northeast 
     Regional Office of the Park Service. The conferees appreciate 
     the Service's willingness to provide information about the 
     planned reorganization and ask that the Service continue to 
     report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
     its plans for managing the current programs administered by 
     the Boston Regional Office and Service proposals to

[[Page 25962]]

     further change the staffing plan for that office.
       Sequoia National Park.--The conferees are aware that the 
     Department of the Interior has been negotiating the renewal 
     terms of a special use permit for the Kaweah hydroelectric 
     project inside Sequoia National Park. Initial proposals from 
     the Department would have resulted in a 2,545 percent fee 
     increase to the operator. The conferees find that situation 
     unacceptable. As such, the Department is directed to continue 
     its negotiations in an effort to reach a fair, cost-effective 
     agreement for the terms of a 10-year special use permit.
       Mississippi River Study.--The conferees note that the 
     Mississippi River is one of the Nation's great natural 
     treasures, an integral part of the country's history, and a 
     critical transportation artery for modern commerce. As such, 
     the protection and preservation of natural resources along 
     the Mississippi River, and the telling of the history of this 
     great resource is an important and worthy goal. The conferees 
     therefore direct the Service to identify those natural and 
     cultural resources most in need of protection and 
     preservation and to begin to craft a plan that would address 
     these needs. In undertaking this task, the Service shall 
     consult with the various Federal, State and local units of 
     government along the corridor, and with non-governmental 
     organizations and partner coalitions working on preservation 
     and interpretation initiatives within or along the corridor.

                    Park Partnership Project Grants

       The conference agreement provides $15,000,000 for Park 
     Partnership Project Grants instead of $25,000,000 as proposed 
     by the House. Of the amount provided, $10,000,000 will be 
     proportionally derived from the unobligated balance in the 
     recreation fee account. The conferees urge the Director to 
     fund signature projects and programs consistent with the 
     original intent of the program. The conferees direct the 
     Service to provide a report within 90 days of enactment of 
     this Act that (1) outlines the status of the projects 
     announced in January 2009; and (2) provides the criteria to 
     be used to select new projects. After the Service competes 
     the remaining funds for new projects, the Service will 
     provide the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a 
     complete description of the new projects selected and 
     describe the funds allotted for each project from both 
     Federal and non-Federal sources.
       Bill Language.--The conferees have included language that 
     authorizes the National Park Service to use a portion of the 
     high unobligated recreation fee balance to fund projects 
     selected through the Park Partnerships Program.
       Recreation Fees.--The conferees remain concerned by the 
     National Park Service's ineffective management of its 
     recreation fee revenues which has led to high unobligated 
     carryover balances over many years. It is clear that dramatic 
     changes are needed to address this problem.
       The conferees understand that the Service, in response to 
     Congressional expressions of concern, has developed a phased 
     plan to aggressively reduce the recreation fee carryover 
     balance which was more than $270,000,000 at the beginning of 
     fiscal year 2009. Further, the conferees recognize that 
     existing authority provides the Service sufficient 
     flexibility to address this challenge by reducing the 
     allocation of fee revenues to the largest collecting parks 
     from 80 percent to 60 percent as needed. The conferees 
     encourage the Park Service to exercise this authority fully 
     to meet its goal, as outlined by the Service, to reduce the 
     end-of-year carryover balance to no more than $80,000,000 by 
     January, 2011.
       When implemented fully, this plan will redirect funds away 
     from collecting parks with high carryover balances to fund 
     nationally ranked projects that can be commenced quickly. 
     Parks will receive at least 60 percent of their annual 
     collections, which is the minimum allowed by law. To allow 
     these changes to take effect, the conferees will not direct 
     specific changes to the management of the fee program at this 
     time. However, the conferees will closely monitor the 
     implementation of this effort to ensure it dramatically 
     reduces recreation fee carryover balances and results in more 
     efficient use of fee revenues. Lastly, the conferees reserve 
     the option of taking future action to ensure adequate 
     management of recreation fee dollars.


                  NATIONAL RECREATION AND PRESERVATION

       The conference agreement provides $68,436,000 for the 
     National Recreation and Preservation program instead of 
     $59,386,000 as proposed by the House and $67,438,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     program and activity for this account is included in the 
     table at the end of the statement. The conference agreement 
     also includes the following specific funding levels and 
     directions:
       Cultural Programs.--The conferees have included bill 
     language in General Provisions, Department of the Interior, 
     amending the Japanese-American Confinement Site Grants 
     program by authorizing land acquisition grants at the Heart 
     Mountain Relocation Center, WY, as proposed by the House. 
     Similar House bill language authorizing land acquisition 
     grants and donations at Minidoka National Historic Site is 
     not included. At the request of the Department, the conferees 
     have withdrawn the language because of an unresolved issue 
     involving a pre-existing right-of-way and crossing agreement 
     for the Southwest Intertie Project's renewable energy 
     transmission line within or near the Minidoka National 
     Historic Site boundary. The conferees urge the Secretary to 
     resolve the issue quickly, giving fair consideration to the 
     existing rights of all land and permit holders, refraining 
     from acquiring any donations of land or interests therein 
     during the 90 day period following enactment of this Act so 
     that a suitable resolution can be reached, and reporting any 
     progress to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
     within 90 days of enactment of this Act. The conferees remain 
     supportive of the Secretary's renewable energy initiative and 
     also recognize that the Federal government has an obligation 
     to preserve lands for the Minidoka National Historic Site and 
     other relocation centers and to provide for their 
     preservation and interpretation. Accordingly, the conferees 
     have provided $350,000 for land acquisition and $3,000,000 
     for the Japanese-American Confinement Site Grants program.
       Heritage Partnership Program.--Within the amount provided, 
     the conference agreement provides $16,805,000 for commissions 
     and grants as proposed by the House instead of $16,732,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The increase above the request will 
     provide at least $150,000 to new heritage areas without 
     approved plans.
       Preserve America.--The conference agreement provides 
     $4,600,000 for Preserve America. The conferees have funded 
     this program under the National Recreation and Preservation 
     account, instead of the Historic Preservation Fund account as 
     proposed by the House.
       Statutory or Contractual Aid.--The conference agreement 
     provides $5,850,000 for Statutory or Contractual Aid, instead 
     of $1,900,000 as proposed by the House and $5,350,000 
     proposed by the Senate. The funds provided are to be 
     distributed as follows:

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

       Everglades.--The conference agreement includes $8,400,000 
     for the Modified Water Deliveries Project at Everglades 
     National Park as proposed by the House. This includes 
     $4,200,000 which the President had requested in the budget 
     for the Army Corps of Engineers. These funds will allow for 
     continuous work on the Tamiami Trail bridge and road 
     modifications as a first step to return water flow to the 
     Park. It is critical that the bridging of the Tamiami Trail 
     be completed at the earliest possible date so that flows can 
     be restored between Everglades National Park and the State-
     managed Water Conservation Areas.
       Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park.--Of the 
     amount provided, the conferees have included $500,000 for the 
     Park Service's general management plan for the Paterson Great 
     Falls National Historical Park.
       Castillo de San Marcos National Monument.--The conferees 
     have included $500,000 for preliminary planning and design of 
     the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument restoration 
     project with the understanding that construction will not 
     commence until fee simple title of the affected property is 
     conveyed to the Federal government by the City of St. 
     Augustine, FL and the State of Florida.
       Bill Language.-The conference agreement includes language 
     for the Everglades Modified Water Projects as proposed by the 
     House. The agreement also authorizes a single contract for 
     the full scope of the Elwha Dam project. The conference 
     agreement does not include statutory language proposed by the 
     House to authorize a special resources study along the 
     Mississippi River. The conferees have addressed this issue in 
     report language under the Operation of the National Park 
     System account. The conference agreement also provides that 
     construction funds for the Quincy Smelter stabilization 
     project at Keweenaw National Historical Park shall be made 
     without regard to requirements in section 8(b) of Public Law 
     102-543, as amended.


                    LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND

                              (RESCISSION)

       The conference agreement rescinds $30,000,000, as in 
     previous years, in annual contract authority. There are no 
     plans to use this authority in fiscal year 2010.


                 LAND ACQUISITION AND STATE ASSISTANCE

       The conference agreement includes $126,266,000 for Land 
     Acquisition and State Assistance instead of $113,222,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $118,586,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conference agreement includes the following 
     distribution of funds:

                      Minerals Management Service


                ROYALTY AND OFFSHORE MINERALS MANAGEMENT

       The conference agreement includes $175,217,000 for Royalty 
     and Offshore Minerals Management, as proposed by the Senate 
     instead of $174,317,000 as proposed by the House. The 
     detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 
     is included in the table at the end of the statement.
       In addition, the use of $166,730,000 in receipts and cost 
     recovery fees is included, as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate. The conference agreement includes $900,000 to 
     continue the Center for Marine Resources and Environmental 
     Technology project in Mississippi.
       The conferees support the Administration's efforts to 
     secure a balanced energy portfolio that carefully weighs what 
     is in the best interest of our energy-dependent nation with 
     what is in the best interest of our natural environment. 
     Future coordinated efforts to pursue additional oil and gas 
     resources in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) must include 
     the opportunity to apply advanced technologies, be based on 
     the best available science, and take into account the 
     potential environmental impacts of such potential 
     development. Therefore, the conferees direct the Minerals 
     Management Service, pursuant to the National Environmental 
     Policy Act, to conduct a Programmatic Environmental Impact 
     Statement (PEIS) to evaluate potential significant 
     environmental effects of multiple geological and geophysical 
     activities in the Atlantic OCS and provide a detailed 
     timeline for completion of the PEIS no later than 90 days 
     after enactment of this Act. The conferees believe this 
     request is consistent with the Department's stated desire to 
     fill in information gaps relating to resource potential in 
     the OCS.
       The conferees note that over the last several years there 
     have been expanded areas available for oil and gas leasing in 
     the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas and approved exploration plans 
     involving seismic testing and exploratory drilling in these 
     waters. These waters currently host a rich diversity of 
     wildlife and fish resources and are critical to the survival 
     of the subsistence culture of the Inupiat people of Arctic 
     Alaska. To ensure sound science-based planning with regard to 
     these important resources, a continuing comprehensive 
     assessment of the health, biodiversity, and functioning of 
     Arctic marine and coastal ecosystems, including the impacts 
     of industrial activities and of climate change is needed. To 
     inform this continuing assessment, the conferees believe that 
     there should be scientific analysis conducted by an 
     independent entity to assess existing scientific information 
     and identify any relevant additional information to ensure 
     adequate environmental review of proposed industrial 
     activities in the region. This assessment should also include 
     recommendations for obtaining the identified relevant 
     scientific information.


                           OIL SPILL RESEARCH

       The conference agreement includes $6,303,000 for Oil Spill 
     Research as proposed by both the House and Senate.


                        ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION

       The conference agreement continues language from the fiscal 
     year 2009 enacted bill on a legislative matter which deducts 
     two percent of State royalties to help cover Federal 
     administrative costs, resulting in a $45,000,000 scoring 
     credit for the bill.

     for a total program level of $127,280,000. The detailed 
     allocation of funding by program area and activity is 
     included in the table at the end of the statement.


                    ABANDONED MINE RECLAMATION FUND

       The conference agreement includes $35,588,000 for the 
     Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund instead of $32,088,000 as

     by program and activity is included in the table at the end 
     of the statement. The conference agreement also includes the 
     following directions:
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes language 
     that within the appropriated amount, $12,136,000 is to be 
     derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund for 
     consolidated appraisal services and remain available until 
     expended, as requested and as proposed by the House. In 
     addition, of the funds provided $25,000 may be used for 
     official reception and representation activities, as proposed 
     by the Senate instead of $15,000 as proposed by the House. 
     Language also is included permitting the Secretary for fiscal 
     years 2008-2012 to correct prior year overpayments and 
     underpayments to counties under the Payments In Lieu of Taxes 
     program as proposed by the Senate.

                            Insular Affairs


                       ASSISTANCE TO TERRITORIES

       The conference agreement provides $85,195,000 for 
     Assistance to Territories instead of $83,995,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $81,095,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     detailed allocation of funding by activity for this account 
     is included in the table at the end of the statement. The 
     conference agreement follows the House proposed bill and 
     report language, including $900,000 above the request for 
     critical wastewater system repairs and improvements in the 
     U.S. Virgin Islands. The conference agreement also includes 
     $1,200,000 within the technical assistance activity to be 
     used by the Secretary to assist American Samoa with recovery 
     from the catastrophic tsunami which hit the islands on 
     September 29, 2009.


                      COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION

       The conference agreement provides $5,318,000 for the 
     Compact of Free Association as requested and proposed by the 
     House and the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     program is included in the table at the end of the statement. 
     As proposed by the House, the bill language regarding the 
     authority to use a USDA loan program in Guam is included 
     under the Administrative Provision heading for Insular 
     Affairs.


                       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement includes the Administrative 
     Provision proposed by the House. Similar language was under 
     both the Assistance to Territories and the Compact of Free 
     Association headings in the budget request and the Senate 
     proposal. This language will allow the Interior Department to 
     transfer certain funds designated for Guam to the U.S. 
     Department of Agriculture, when requested by the Governor of 
     Guam, as a subsidy for direct or guaranteed rural development 
     loans to Guam for construction and repair projects. This 
     language, which does not supplant any existing USDA 
     authority, will help the government of Guam respond to 
     extensive change as the military relocates major facilities 
     and personnel to Guam.

                        Office of the Solicitor


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conference agreement provides $65,076,000 for the 
     Office of the Solicitor as requested and as proposed by both 
     the House and the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding 
     by program and activity is included in the table at the end 
     of the statement.

                      Office of Inspector General


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conference agreement provides $48,590,000 for the 
     Office of the Inspector General as requested and as proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate. The detailed allocation of 
     funding by program and activity is included in the table at 
     the end of the statement.

           Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians


                         FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement includes $185,984,000 for the 
     Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians, Federal 
     Trust Programs as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 
     The conference agreement does not include bill language added 
     by the Senate that directs funding to estate planning. The 
     detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 
     is included in the table at the end of the statement.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes bill 
     language, as in previous years, limiting the amount of 
     funding that can be used for historical accounting.

                        Department-Wide Programs

                        Wildland Fire Management


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement provides $919,897,000 for 
     Department of the Interior Wildland Fire Management instead 
     of $932,780,000 as proposed by the House and $904,637,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also 
     includes an additional $61,000,000 for the new Department of 
     the Interior FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund as 
     described below. The Senate had included $75,000,000 for a 
     contingency reserve fund within this account, whereas the 
     House had included $75,000,000 in a separate Wildland Fire 
     Suppression Contingency Reserve account as was in the budget 
     request. The detailed allocation of funding by activity for 
     these accounts is included in the table at the end of the 
     statement. The conferees note that the funding provided 
     includes the use of $125,000,000 in prior year non-emergency 
     funds because the suppression activity had very large carry-
     over balances from fiscal year 2009. In addition to the 
     directions provided in the House and Senate committee 
     reports, the conference agreement also provides the following 
     directions:
       Wildfire Preparedness.--The conference agreement provides 
     $290,452,000 as proposed by the House instead of $289,192,000 
     as proposed by the Senate.
       Wildfire Suppression Operations.--The conference agreement 
     includes $383,797,000 for wildland fire suppression instead 
     of $369,797,000 as proposed by the House and $294,797,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The Senate recommendation included an 
     allocation of $75,000,000 within the suppression amount for a 
     wildfire suppression contingency reserve. The conferees note 
     the use of $125,000,000 in prior year funding. An additional 
     $61,000,000 for suppression activities is provided in the new 
     FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund. The conferees note 
     that the Forest Service wildland fire suppression accounts 
     are provided an additional $1,410,505,000, including 
     $413,000,000 in the new Forest Service FLAME Wildfire 
     Suppression Reserve Fund. Thus, the sum for wildfire 
     suppression for both Departments, including both the 
     suppression and the FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund 
     accounts, is $1,855,302,000. This sum is equal to the request 
     and $526,164,000 above the fiscal year 2009 funding level. 
     This is the largest funding increase ever provided for non-
     emergency wildfire suppression activities.
       The conferees reiterate that both the Interior Department 
     and the Forest Service

[[Page 25966]]

     should ensure that cost containment is an important priority 
     when suppressing wildland fires. Both Departments must 
     examine and report promptly to the Congress and on agency 
     websites, using independent panels, on each and every 
     individual wildfire incident which results in suppression 
     expenses greater than $10,000,000.
       The conferees intend that amounts provided through the 
     FLAME Fund, together with amounts provided through the 
     Wildland Fire Management appropriations account, should fully 
     fund anticipated wildland fire suppression requirements in 
     advance of the fire season and prevent future borrowing from 
     non-fire programs. To satisfy this requirement, the conferees 
     direct the Secretaries to develop new methods for formulating 
     fire suppression funding estimates for the Wildland Fire 
     Management and FLAME Fund appropriations accounts as part of 
     their fiscal year 2011 budget request. In formulating these 
     estimates, the conferees expect the Secretaries to consider 
     data regarding actual prior-year fire suppression 
     expenditures, predictive modeling, and any other criteria 
     that they deem appropriate, consistent with the direction 
     provided in this Act. It is the intent of conferees to 
     provide sufficient funds for FLAME Wildfire Suppression 
     Reserve accounts to preclude the necessity for transferring 
     funds from other non-fire programs and activities except in 
     unusual circumstances.
       Other Wildland Fire Management Operations.--The conference 
     agreement provides $206,206,000 for hazardous fuels reduction 
     activities at the Department of the Interior as requested and 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $233,089,000 as proposed by 
     the House. The conference agreement provides the requested 
     funding for the other subactivities as was proposed by both 
     the House and the Senate.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes the House 
     proposed language allowing up to $50,000,000 to be 
     transferred between the Interior Department and the Forest 
     Service when such transfers would facilitate and expedite 
     jointly funded wildland fire management programs and 
     projects. Bill language is included that directs the 
     Department to make no less than $125,000,000 in prior year 
     non-emergency suppression funds available for wildfire 
     suppression purposes in addition to amounts otherwise 
     provided. The agreement also includes the Senate proposed 
     language stating that wildfire suppression funds may be used 
     for support of Federal emergency response actions.
       The conference does not include the Wildland Fire 
     Contingency Reserve Fund which was in the request and the 
     House recommendation. Instead, funds are provided for the 
     FLAME Wildland Fire Suppression Reserve Fund, as described 
     below.

                Flame Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement provides $61,000,000 for the new 
     Department of the Interior FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve 
     Fund established in the FLAME Act of 2009 (Title V of this 
     Act). The Senate had included $75,000,000 within the Wildland 
     Fire Management account for a suppression reserve, whereas 
     the House had included, as requested, $75,000,000 for a 
     separate Wildland Fire Suppression Contingency Reserve Fund. 
     Further direction on the use of this new account is provided 
     in Title V.
       A similar account in the Forest Service is also provided an 
     additional $413,000,000. The conferees note that this is the 
     first year for this new account, so adjustments will be 
     required by the Federal wildfire community. The funding 
     provided this year as a beginning allocation is equal to the 
     actual expenditures during fiscal year 2009 by the Department 
     of the Interior on large wildfire suppression events, as 
     defined by the FLAME Act of 2009. The conferees have 
     established these funding levels to give the Department of 
     the Interior and the Forest Service some degree of funding 
     flexibility as they develop appropriate procedures and 
     infrastructure for the FLAME Funds. However, these levels are 
     not intended to represent a final method for calculating 
     FLAME Fund budget requests. Instead, as provided in Title V, 
     the conferees expect the agencies to develop new methods for 
     formulating fire suppression funding estimates for the 
     Wildland Fire Management and FLAME Fund appropriations 
     accounts as part of their fiscal year 2011 budget request.

                    Central Hazardous Materials Fund

       The conference agreement provides the requested amount, 
     $10,175,000, for the Central Hazardous Materials Fund as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.

           Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration

                Natural Resource Damage Assessment Fund

       The conference agreement provides $6,462,000 for the 
     Natural Resource Damage Assessment Fund as requested and as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate. The detailed 
     allocation of funding by activity is included in the table at 
     the end of the statement.

                          Working Capital Fund

       The conference agreement provides $85,823,000 for the 
     Working Capital Fund as proposed by the Senate, instead of 
     $75,823,000 as proposed by the House.

               TITLE II--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

                         Science and Technology

       The conference agreement provides $846,049,000 for Science 
     and Technology programs instead of $849,649,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $842,799,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conference agreement also transfers $26,834,000 from the 
     Hazardous Substance Superfund account to this account. The 
     detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 
     for this account is included in the table at the end of the 
     statement. The conference agreement also includes the 
     following specific funding levels and directions:
       Homeland Security.--From within the amount provided, the 
     conference agreement fully funds the remaining two Water 
     Security Initiative pilot projects.
       Research/National Priorities.--The conference agreement 
     provides $5,700,000 for this program and allocates the funds 
     as proposed by the House instead of a competitive grant 
     program proposed by the Senate. The conferees have agreed to 
     the following allocation of funds: $2,000,000 for the Water 
     Environment Research Foundation; $1,700,000 for the Water 
     Research Foundation; $1,000,000 for the Southwest Consortium 
     for Environmental Research and Policy; and $1,000,000 for the 
     Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Research.
       Research: Human Health and Ecosystems.--The conference 
     agreement includes no less than $11,442,000 for endocrine 
     disruptor research. In addition, the conferees direct a 
     portion of the increase provided for the Integrated Risk 
     Information System Health Assessments to expedite the risk 
     assessment for trichloroethylene (TCE). The conference 
     agreement includes an additional $3,000,000 for children's 
     environmental health research instead of $5,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House. Of this amount $2,000,000 is directed 
     to increase the base program for centers of excellence on 
     children's environmental health and is to be divided equally 
     among the four centers. The conferees urge that at least one 
     of these centers focus on child care settings. The remaining 
     $1,000,000 is directed to accelerate research on the effects 
     of environmental chemicals and toxins on children.
       Air Quality Research.--The conferees encourage the Agency 
     to establish a competitively awarded, national research 
     facility to help address many of the issues relating to air 
     quality, as noted in the House report. The conferees note the 
     need for additional air quality research such as that 
     conducted by the University of California, Riverside.
       Hydraulic Fracturing Study.--The conferees urge the Agency 
     to carry out a study on the relationship between hydraulic 
     fracturing and drinking water, using a credible approach that 
     relies on the best available science, as well as independent 
     sources of information. The conferees expect the study to be 
     conducted through a transparent, peer-reviewed process that 
     will ensure the validity and accuracy of the data. The Agency 
     shall consult with other Federal agencies as well as 
     appropriate State and interstate regulatory agencies in 
     carrying out the study, which should be prepared in 
     accordance with the Agency's quality assurance principles.
       Health Effects of Fuel Efficiency and Emission Reduction 
     Efforts.--The conferees are aware that efforts to improve 
     fuel efficiency and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will 
     require careful evaluation for potential consequences for 
     human health and the environment. To ensure that the Agency 
     can meet the need for this critical information in a timely 
     and credible manner, the conferees encourage the Agency to 
     work with experienced and independent extramural research 
     partners to strengthen ongoing human health research and 
     assessment efforts on alternative fuels, engines, and 
     emission reduction technologies.
       Black Carbon.--The conferees have included a modified 
     version of language originally proposed by the Senate in the 
     Administrative Provisions section requiring the Administrator 
     to complete and transmit a study on black carbon to the House 
     and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House Energy and 
     Commerce Committee and Senate Environment and Public Works 
     Committee no later than 18 months after the date of enactment 
     of this Act. The conferees agree that the Administrator shall 
     carry out the study in consultation with other relevant 
     Federal partners. The conferees further direct the Agency to 
     fund this study from within amounts provided to the Office of 
     Air and Radiation in either the Science and Technology 
     account or the Environmental Programs and Management account 
     or a combination of funds from each account. Bill language 
     has been included in the Administrative Provisions section 
     mandating this report.
       Great Lakes Emission Control Areas.--Language has been 
     included in the General Provisions section concerning the 
     rule to control emissions from new marine compression-
     ignition engines. EPA is conducting a rulemaking (74 Fed. 
     Reg. 44442) regarding fuel sulfur standards that will apply 
     to vessels including those that are powered by large marine 
     diesel engines, called Category 3 engines. While these 
     standards can achieve significant health and welfare 
     benefits, they can also impose significant costs on the 
     industry and on a region whose economy is already reeling. 
     EPA has received comments detailing significant negative 
     economic impacts for carriers that operate Category 3 engines 
     vessels exclusively within the Great Lakes and their 
     connecting and tributary waters and therefore for the economy 
     of the region. Because of these economic impacts, EPA should 
     include waiver provisions similar to those in other EPA rules 
     in the final rule--one to waive the 10,000 ppm sulfur 
     standard for Great Lakes Category 3 diesel engine vessels 
     that burn residual fuel if EPA determines that 10,000 ppm 
     residual fuel is not available; and one to waive fuel 
     requirements for an owner/operator of a Great Lakes Category 
     3 diesel engine vessel based upon a showing of serious 
     economic hardship. It is important that EPA structure such a 
     waiver provision similar to the other fuels rules, where 
     parties can apply for and receive a waiver in sufficient time 
     prior to the implementation of the requirements. Finally, EPA 
     should perform a study and issue a report within six months 
     that evaluates the economic impact of the final rule on Great 
     Lakes carriers.

                 Environmental Programs and Management

       The conference agreement provides $2,993,779,000 for 
     Environmental Programs and Management activities instead of 
     $3,022,054,000 as proposed by the House and $2,878,780,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     program area and activity for this account is included in the 
     table at the end of the statement. The conference agreement 
     also includes the following specific funding levels and 
     directions:
       Brownfields.--The conference agreement provides the request 
     of $1,246,000 for the Smart Growth Program. As proposed by 
     the Senate, the agreement does not provide the requested 
     funds for additional personnel. The House had proposed to 
     fund one-half of the increase.
       Compliance.--From within the amount provided, the conferees 
     direct $25,070,000 for compliance assistance and centers and 
     $9,702,000 for compliance incentives.
       Environmental Protection/National Priorities.--The 
     conference agreement provides $16,950,000 for this program 
     and allocates the funds as proposed by the House instead of a 
     competitive grant program as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees have agreed to the following allocation of funds: 
     $13,000,000 for the National Rural Water Association; 
     $2,500,000 for the Rural Community Assistance Partnership; 
     $700,000 for the Water Systems Council/WellCare program; and 
     $750,000 for the National Biosolids Partnership.
       Geographic Programs.--The conference agreement provides 
     $608,441,000 for this program area instead of $628,941,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $478,696,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by specific 
     geographic program area is included in the table at the end 
     of the statement. In addition to these specific amounts, the 
     conference agreement includes the following directives for 
     certain programs.
       Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.--The conference 
     agreement provides $475,000,000 for this new initiative. The 
     conferees support the Administration's efforts to restore the 
     Great Lakes and have agreed to the request to fund an 
     interagency restoration effort, led by the Environmental 
     Protection Agency. In addition, the conferees have agreed to 
     consolidate and expand funding for the Agency's Great Lakes 
     National Program Office and Great Lakes Legacy Act programs 
     within this new program-project.

[[Page 25968]]

       Bill language has been included to allow the Agency to 
     transfer funding to or establish interagency agreements with 
     other Federal agencies, and to make grants to relevant 
     entities as appropriate. The conferees direct the Agency to 
     work with the other Federal agencies to ensure these funds 
     supplement and expand, not supplant, base Great Lakes 
     programs when compared to fiscal year 2009 levels. The Agency 
     is directed to provide, starting on March 1, 2010, annual 
     reports that provide funding allocations by Agency and that 
     identify any adjustments from the request. Beginning in 2011 
     and each year thereafter, the Agency is directed to provide 
     detailed yearly program accomplishments and compare specific 
     funding levels allocated for participating Federal agencies 
     from fiscal year to fiscal year. This includes programs 
     funded at or below $500,000 that may not otherwise be 
     identified in cross-cut budgets. The Agency and its Federal 
     partners are expected to limit overhead.
       The Agency is directed to use the Great Lakes Regional 
     Collaboration Strategy as a guide to maximize funding for 
     actual restoration activities that achieve measurable 
     results. A substantial portion of the funds shall be provided 
     for restoration activities conducted by non-Federal partners 
     to accomplish restoration objectives where appropriate and 
     cost-effective. The conferees direct the Agency and the other 
     Federal agencies to exercise maximum flexibility to minimize 
     non-Federal match requirements in recognition of the 
     exceptional economic circumstances of the region and the 
     significant ongoing investments made by non-Federal partners.
       To guide the activities of the Great Lakes Restoration 
     Initiative through fiscal year 2014, including funding 
     decisions in fiscal year 2011 and future years, the conferees 
     direct the Agency to develop a comprehensive, multi-year 
     restoration action plan that will lead to the restoration of 
     the Great Lakes. The action plan should build upon the 
     foundation of the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration 
     Strategy, utilize input from Great Lakes stakeholders, 
     outline Federal agency actions to help protect and restore 
     the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Great 
     Lakes Basin ecosystem, and include targets and measurable 
     objectives expected for fiscal years 2010 through 2014. The 
     Agency should ensure that the goals, objectives, and targets 
     of the Action Plan are aligned with those of the Great Lakes 
     State, local and Tribal governments. The plan should also 
     include a description of the process used to track and 
     measure progress, target restoration priorities and adapt and 
     modify those priorities in the outyears. In addition, the 
     conferees expect the Agency to establish a process that:
       (1) Allows the Great Lakes area governors, mayors, Tribal 
     leaders, regional organizations and other stakeholders to 
     provide advice, guidance, and recommendations that will 
     assist the Agency in making annual decisions on restoration 
     priorities, activities, projects, and funding levels that 
     reflect the highest priority needs;
       (2) Coordinates restoration activities in the U.S. with 
     those of the Canadian and provincial governments;
       (3) Engages an independent, scientific panel to review the 
     scientific credibility of the plan to optimize the likelihood 
     of successful restoration at appropriate scales; and,
       (4) Ensures monitoring and reporting on the progress of the 
     Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, using scientific research 
     to revise restoration priorities as needed, and adapt and 
     modify activities beginning in fiscal year 2011.
       In considering the appropriate science for the process, the 
     Agency shall consider that independent scientific reviews are 
     the preferred method for some elements and activities to 
     ensure that the best available science guides efforts to 
     restore the Great Lakes. However, the Agency may selectively 
     use and scale these scientific reviews so that the rate of 
     progress is optimized at the same time scientific validation 
     is ensured. The Agency shall determine those elements for 
     which additional scientific validation is needed to expedite 
     restoration while providing the Agency with the basis for 
     optimizing successful restoration programs and projects to 
     advance the goals, objectives, and restoration priorities of 
     the action plan.
       The conferees support funding Habitat and Wildlife 
     Protection and Restoration through the National Oceanic and 
     Atmospheric Administration at the Department of Commerce, as 
     proposed by the Administration, and expect that funds will be 
     expended on land conservation priorities that meaningfully 
     contribute to the goals of the Initiative through the Coastal 
     and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CELCP). As with the 
     other funds provided for the Great Lakes Restoration 
     Initiative, the conferees further expect that these funds 
     would supplement, rather than replace, CELCP funds provided 
     in any other appropriations bill for priority projects in the 
     Great Lakes region.
       Chesapeake Bay.--The conference agreement includes 
     $50,000,000 for this program. In light of the new Executive 
     Order on the Bay, which places additional demands on and 
     expectations of the Agency and States, the conferees have 
     included an increase above the request. The conferees direct 
     the Agency to report within 30 days of enactment a proposed 
     allocation of the additional funds. The conferees expect this 
     allocation to recognize that the funds are intended to 
     support additional regulatory and accountability programs to 
     control urban, suburban and agricultural runoff in the 
     watershed. The allocation should emphasize increases to State 
     grant programs to support and expand the States' regulatory 
     and enforcement capabilities.
       Puget Sound.--The conference agreement includes $50,000,000 
     for this program. From within the funds provided, $4,000,000 
     is included for the Puget Sound Ecosystem Research Initiative 
     at the University of Washington's College of the Environment. 
     These funds are to conduct, coordinate, and disseminate 
     scientific research to inform policy decisions necessary to 
     carry out the Puget Sound Action Agenda. The remaining funds 
     are for the Agency's intramural costs, cooperative 
     agreements, interagency agreements, contracts and competitive 
     grants, including a competitive grant to manage 
     implementation of the Action Agenda. Prior to announcing any 
     requests for proposals for competitive grants, the conferees 
     expect the Agency to coordinate with the State on priorities 
     for the proposals.
       San Francisco Bay.--The conference agreement includes 
     $7,000,000 to continue its competitive grant program to 
     restore the San Francisco Bay watershed and improve water 
     quality. The Agency shall use no more than five percent of 
     the funds provided for the costs of administering the 
     program.
       Long Island Sound.--The conferees direct the Agency to work 
     with the appropriate stakeholders to determine the proper 
     allocation of funds between the Long Island Sound Restoration 
     Act and the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act. The Agency is 
     directed to report to the Committees on the final 
     distribution of the funds.
       Other Geographic Activities.--The conference agreement 
     includes $2,000,000 for a competitive grant program to 
     protect the Potomac Highlands. The conferees recognize the 
     Agency's commitment to protecting the Potomac Highlands 
     through conservation and ecological restoration initiatives. 
     The Agency shall use no more than 10 percent of the funds for 
     intramural costs, with the remaining funds awarded on a 
     competitive basis for projects identified in the Highlands 
     Action Plan.
       Information Exchange/Outreach.--The conference agreement 
     provides $129,972,000 for this program area. Within this 
     amount, the conferees direct the following levels: $6,515,000 
     for children and other sensitive populations; $50,480,000 for 
     Congressional, intergovernmental, external relations; 
     $9,038,000 for environmental education; and, $16,860,000 for 
     the exchange network. The conference agreement does not 
     include additional funding for the Office of Children's 
     Health Protection as proposed by the House.
       IT/Data Management/Security.--The conference agreement 
     provides $104,320,000 for this program. The conferees direct 
     that funding for the Agency's library system be exempted from 
     this reduction.
       Legal/Science/Regulatory/Economic Review.--The conference 
     agreement provides $123,788,000 for this program. The 
     conferees have not provided funds for the Performance Track 
     program. The conferees direct the Agency to provide, at a 
     minimum, the requested level for the Smart Growth Program. 
     The conference agreement reflects the reduction to the 
     Regulatory/Economic-Management and Analysis program as 
     proposed by the House.
       Operations and Administration.--The conference agreement 
     provides $501,895,000 for this program, which includes a 
     $5,000,000 reduction to the request for the Financial System 
     Modernization Project. The Agency may take the remaining 
     $5,000,000 reduction from rent, utilities and/or security 
     savings.
       Water: Ecosystems.--From within the amount provided, the 
     conference agreement includes $22,400,000 for the National 
     Estuary Grant Program instead of $28,000,000 proposed by the 
     House and $16,800,000 proposed by the Senate. This increase 
     will provide $800,000 to each National Estuary Program funded 
     under section 320 of the Clean Water Act.
       Water Quality Protection.--From within the amount provided, 
     the conference agreement includes $208,437,000 for the 
     Surface Water Protection program.
       Bill Language.--Language is included which mandates the 
     amount allocated to the Geographic Programs.
       National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recovery Program.--The 
     conferees are aware that the National Vehicle Mercury Switch 
     Recovery Program is an effective way to reduce mercury 
     emissions from end-of-life vehicles. The conferees have not 
     included bill language as proposed by the Senate; however, 
     the conferees remain concerned that the program's operating 
     fund and bounty fund have both been depleted since August, 
     2009. The conferees urge the Agency to assist program 
     stakeholders in exploring all options to ensure the program's 
     continued operation.
       OCS Air Permits.--The conferees are concerned about the 
     ability of the Agency to effectively carry out its 
     responsibilities to process oil and gas permits in the Outer 
     Continental Shelf (OCS) in Alaska and the Eastern Gulf of 
     Mexico. The Agency is directed to

[[Page 25969]]

     allocate sufficient funds and personnel to process OCS air 
     permits in a timely manner consistent with all environmental 
     laws. Within 90 days of enactment of this Act, the Agency is 
     directed to report to the House and Senate Appropriations 
     Committees on its progress to comply with this directive, 
     provide a detailed timeline for issuance of the pending 
     permits, and submit its plan to address this issue 
     consistently among all affected regional offices. Lastly, the 
     conferees expect the Agency to set clear, reasonable national 
     guidelines for issuing OCS air permits.
       Gulf of Maine.--The conferees urge the Agency to undertake 
     a study of pollution and water quality issues in the Gulf of 
     Maine with the assistance of regional stakeholders to 
     determine whether a comprehensive restoration plan should be 
     developed for this region.

                      Office of Inspector General

       The conference agreement provides $44,791,000 for the 
     Office of Inspector General as requested and as proposed by 
     both the House and the Senate. The detailed allocation of 
     funding by program area and activity for this account is 
     included in the table at the end of the statement. The 
     conference agreement also includes $9,975,000 to be 
     transferred from the Hazardous Substance Superfund account to 
     this account.
       The conference agreement again includes bill language which 
     authorizes the Agency's Inspector General (IG) to serve as 
     the IG for the Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation 
     Board (the Board). The conferees have not included language 
     in the Board's section of the bill to transfer funds from the 
     Board's account to this account, as proposed by the House. 
     The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has confirmed that 
     it has sufficient funds in fiscal year 2010 to perform its 
     duties as IG for the Board. The conferees expect the OIG to 
     continue to expand reviews of the Board beyond those mandated 
     in law to include follow up on earlier GAO recommendations.
       The conferees also are concerned by the numerous 
     reorganization proposals submitted by the Agency's OIG and 
     the lack of sufficient notice regarding such proposals. The 
     conferees direct the IG to submit a report describing any 
     proposed reorganization within the OIG at least 90 days 
     before any reorganization is to take effect. Any report filed 
     shall describe the purpose and need for the reorganization, 
     the impact to personnel and anticipated costs. The submission 
     also should contain charts of the current and proposed 
     organizational structure.
       The conferees have included language in the Administrative 
     Provisions section expressing their displeasure with the 
     inadequate OIG analysis of the Agency's unliquidated 
     balances.

                        Buildings and Facilities

       The conference agreement provides $37,001,000 for Buildings 
     and Facilities activities instead of $33,001,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $35,001,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     detailed allocation of funding by program area and activity 
     for this account is included in the table at the end of the 
     statement.
       Bill Language.--The conferees have included modified 
     language, as proposed by the Senate, directing the Agency to 
     use up to $500,000 provided under this heading to begin 
     preliminary planning and design work to consolidate the 
     numerous offices and laboratories in the Las Vegas, NV area 
     into a single sustainable building complex. As part of its 
     planning and design process, the conferees expect the Agency 
     to develop precise estimates of total cost savings from 
     improved administrative efficiencies, workspace proximity and 
     reductions in water and energy consumption of such a 
     consolidation. Given recent legislative and executive 
     mandates for Federal agencies to display leadership in 
     adopting sustainable technologies such as the Energy 
     Independence and Security Act of 2007, the EPAct of 2005, 
     Executive Orders 13423 and 13514, and the American Recovery 
     and Reinvestment Act, the conferees expect this project to 
     further the Agency's mission to set an example for energy 
     efficiency and environmental stewardship. Further, the 
     conferees urge the Agency to include full funding for the 
     next phase of this project as part of the Agency's fiscal 
     year 2011 budget request.

                     Hazardous Substance Superfund


                     (including transfers of funds)

       The conference agreement provides $1,306,541,000 for the 
     Hazardous Substance Superfund program as proposed by the 
     House instead of $1,308,541,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
     The conference agreement includes bill language to transfer 
     $9,975,000 to the Inspector General account and $26,834,000 
     to the Science and Technology account as proposed by both the 
     House and the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     program area and activity for this account is included in the 
     table at the end of the statement. The conference agreement 
     also includes the following specific direction:
       Operations and Administration.--The conference agreement 
     provides $6,068,000 for human resources management as 
     proposed by the House instead of $8,068,000 as proposed by 
     the Senate. The conferees have provided only a small increase 
     above the fiscal year 2009 level because the Agency's budget 
     assumes a personnel decrease in this account.
       Brookfield Avenue Landfill.--The conferees encourage the 
     agency to reevaluate the inclusion of the Brookfield Avenue 
     Landfill in Staten Island, NY on the Superfund National 
     Priority List as proposed by the House.


          leaking underground storage tank trust fund program

       The conference agreement provides $113,101,000 for the 
     Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund Program, as 
     recommended by the House instead of $114,171,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate. From within this amount, the conference 
     agreement provides the request of $34,430,000 for the Energy 
     Policy Act grants as proposed by the House instead of 
     $35,500,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed 
     allocation of funding by program area and activity for this 
     account is included in the table at the end of the statement.


                           oil spill response

       For the Oil Spill Response account, the conference 
     agreement provides the request of $18,379,000 as proposed by 
     both the House and the Senate. The detailed allocation of 
     funding by program area and activity for this account is 
     included in the table at the end of the statement.


                   state and tribal assistance grants

       The conference agreement provides $4,970,223,000 for the 
     State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) instead of 
     $5,215,446,000 as proposed by the House and $4,954,274,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     program area and activity for this account is included in the 
     table at the end of the statement. The conference agreement 
     also includes the following specific funding levels and 
     directions:
       Infrastructure Assistance.--The bill provides 
     $3,853,777,000 for infrastructure assistance instead of 
     $4,100,000,000 as proposed by the House and $3,843,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       State Revolving Funds.--The conference agreement provides 
     $2,100,000,000 for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) 
     and $1,387,000,000 for the Drinking Water State Revolving 
     Fund. Both amounts are at the Senate proposed levels. These 
     funds, combined with the STAG Infrastructure Grants, provide 
     a total of $3,643,777,000 for water and wastewater 
     infrastructure improvements. Bill language provides that not 
     less than 30 percent of the funds for each State drinking 
     water SRF capitalization grant and 30 percent of the funds 
     made available for State clean water SRF capitalization 
     grants above $1,000,000,000 shall be used by the States to 
     provide forgiveness of principal, negative interest loans or 
     grants, or any combination of these. The conferees believe 
     that priority for additional subsidies should be given to 
     projects in communities that could not otherwise afford such 
     projects and directs the Agency and the States to track how 
     these subsidies are used and by what types of communities.
       Mexican Border Infrastructure.--The conference agreement 
     provides $17,000,000 for the Mexico Border program instead of 
     $20,000,000 as proposed by the House and $10,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. From within the amount provided, 
     $2,500,000 is directed to the El Paso and Brownsville, TX 
     projects as in prior years. The conferees direct the Agency 
     to reduce unliquidated balances in this program and expedite 
     construction of projects along the border.
       Targeted Airshed Grants.--The conference agreement includes 
     $20,000,000 for this program as proposed by the Senate to 
     reduce air pollution in the Nation's most polluted air 
     districts. Of these funds, $10,000,000 shall be divided 
     equally between the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control 
     District and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. 
     These grants shall continue emission reduction activities in 
     the transportation, agriculture and ports sectors and shall 
     be matched at least on a one-to-one basis. The remaining 
     funds are for competitive grants to reduce air pollution in 
     nonattainment areas that the Agency determines are ranked as 
     the top five most polluted areas relative to annual ozone or 
     particulate matter2.5 standards. The Agency is 
     expected to follow the program directives included in the 
     Senate report.
       Brownfields.--The conference agreement includes 
     $100,000,000 for Brownfields programs as proposed by the 
     House instead of $101,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. From 
     within the amount provided, the conferees direct $1,800,000 
     for the Technical Assistance to Brownfields Communities 
     program and expect the Agency to expand this program in 
     future years.
       STAG Infrastructure Grants.--The conference agreement 
     includes $156,777,000 for infrastructure assistance grants 
     instead of $160,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $150,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Bill language has 
     been included to incorporate these projects into law by 
     reference and to require a local match of 45 percent of the 
     total project costs as proposed by the House and Senate. The 
     conferees note that technical corrections to prior year 
     project designations have been included as part of the table 
     below.
       The conferees have agreed to the following distribution of 
     funds:

       Categorical Grants.--The bill provides $1,116,446,000 for 
     categorical grants instead of $1,115,446,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $1,111,274,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
     Within this program area, the conference agreement includes:
       Climate Change Initiative Grants for Local Communities.--
     The conference agreement includes $10,000,000 to continue 
     this competitive grant program, which provides assistance to 
     local governments to establish and implement climate change 
     initiatives. The Agency is expected to follow the program 
     directives included in the House report.
       Section 106 Water Quality Grants.--The conferees are very 
     concerned by recent reports that EPA and the States are not 
     keeping pace with Clean Water Act enforcement requirements 
     and believe that increased oversight and enforcement efforts 
     related to water quality are essential. The conferees 
     recognize that Section 106 grants are the primary tool for 
     funding State water quality and enforcement programs and have 
     agreed to provide the requested funding increase of 
     $10,769,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The 
     Agency is directed to ensure that the increased funds are 
     used to strengthen State permitting and enforcement efforts 
     and to ensure that these funds supplement and expand, not 
     supplant, base State enforcement program resources. 
     Consistent with recommendations from both the House and the 
     Senate, the conference agreement does not include language 
     proposed by the President regarding water quality monitoring. 
     The conferees direct the Agency to follow the historic 
     allocation criteria between State capacity-building and 
     national surveys.
       Bill Language.--Language is included within the STAG 
     account, instead of in the Administrative Provisions section 
     as proposed by the House, to address green infrastructure 
     projects funded from the State Revolving Funds. The language, 
     including technical modifications, clarifies that the type of 
     projects eligible for the 20 percent green infrastructure 
     set-aside includes environmentally innovative activities as 
     proposed by the Senate. Language is included to provide for 
     additional subsidies from the State Revolving Funds as 
     proposed by the House in the Administrative Provisions 
     section.
       Language is included, as proposed by the Senate, to provide 
     direction on the allocation of funds to address drinking 
     water and waste water infrastructure needs of Alaska Native 
     villages, including that not less than 25 percent of those 
     funds be used for projects in regional hub communities.
       The conferees have included language as proposed by the 
     House to increase the set-asides for Tribes and territories 
     from the State Revolving Funds instead of language proposed 
     by the Senate.
       As noted below, the conferees have modified language, as 
     proposed by the Senate, making technical corrections to prior 
     year infrastructure grants. These project corrections are now 
     incorporated into law by inclusion in the table above.
       Technical Corrections to Prior Year STAG Infrastructure 
     Grants.--As proposed by the Senate, technical corrections to 
     prior-year infrastructure grants are as follows:

     wastewater infrastructure improvements shall be made 
     available to the City of Lake Norden for drinking water 
     infrastructure improvements.
       Hancock, County, MS State Revolving Fund Loans.--The 
     agreement includes a general provision that directs EPA to 
     extend loan repayment periods for the Hancock County, MS 
     Water and Sewer District and the Hancock Utility authority by 
     one year in order to allow the community to explore all 
     possible remedies to avoid defaulting on loans. The conferees 
     see this as an extraordinary action based upon the 
     devastating effect of Hurricane Katrina on Hancock County. 
     Due to the population loss and economic impact caused by 
     Hurricane Katrina, the community has sought, and been 
     granted, this one year extension.


       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

              (INCLUDING TRANSFER AND RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 
     House to extend until 2015 authority provided in P.L. 109-54 
     (as amended by Title II of Division E of Public Law 111-8) 
     which provides special hiring authority for the Agency's 
     Office of Research and Development. The conferees believe 
     that it is in the public's best interest to have elite 
     scientists at the EPA addressing human health-related issues, 
     and that they should be compensated at or near market rates. 
     To that end, for the past five years the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations have been supportive of 
     extending to the EPA on a pilot basis the authorities 
     originally granted the Department of Health and Human 
     Services under Title 42 U.S.C. Sec. 209. The conference 
     agreement extends this authority for another five years, 
     through FY 2015. The conferees are aware that the National 
     Academy of Sciences is in the process of assessing and 
     evaluating the EPA's use of Title 42 authority, and the 
     conferees look forward to its report. Further, the conferees 
     urge the EPA to work with the appropriate authorizing 
     committees to seek more permanent authorization. The 
     conferees understand that the EPA has made 11 Title 42 
     appointments to date utilizing Sections 209(g) and 209(h) 
     authorities, but has not utilized Section 209(f) authority. 
     The conferees direct the EPA to notify the Appropriations and 
     Authorizing Committees prior to announcing any position to be 
     filled utilizing Section 209(f) authority.
       Modified language is included to authorize the 
     Administrator to transfer up to $475,000,000 of funds 
     appropriated for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. 
     Language authorizing a green infrastructure set-aside from 
     the State Revolving Funds has been included in the STAG 
     account as proposed by the Senate instead of in the 
     Administrative Provisions section as proposed by the House. 
     Language proposed by the House authorizing subsidized 
     assistance from the State Revolving Funds has been included 
     in the STAG account. The conference agreement modifies 
     language proposed by the House to provide specific wage rate 
     requirements for the Clean Water and Drinking Water State 
     Revolving Funds.
       Rescission.--The conference agreement modifies rescission 
     language proposed by the House and the Senate and rescinds 
     $40,000,000 from the STAG and Superfund accounts. Based on 
     information provided by the Agency, the conferees have 
     expanded the scope of the rescission to include the Superfund 
     account. For the STAG component of the rescission, the 
     conferees direct the Agency to use unobligated balances from 
     prior year categorical and other grant programs. Unlike in 
     previous years, the Agency is not to include as part of the 
     rescission unobligated

[[Page 25981]]

     balances from prior year special project infrastructure 
     grants. The conferees are concerned about the method by which 
     the Agency has selected infrastructure grants as eligible for 
     rescission and therefore will not allow the use of these 
     types of funds for this specific rescission. The conferees 
     further direct the Agency to report within 90 days of 
     enactment of this Act the status of unobligated balances from 
     the Title II Construction Grants program and a proposed plan 
     to resolve legal and administrative impasses to either the 
     use of these funds or their rescission.
       In light of the significant amount of unliquidated 
     obligations remaining on prior year grants, the conferees 
     direct the Agency to improve procedures to ensure that grant 
     funds are expended in a timely manner. In addition, the 
     conferees are very concerned about the quality of information 
     and analysis provided by the Office of the Inspector General 
     (OIG) concerning the Agency's unliquidated obligation 
     balances. Any future submissions from the OIG on this topic 
     should, at a minimum, identify the appropriation account for 
     each program with unliquidated obligations. In addition, the 
     OIG should not submit any estimates unless and until it has 
     met with the Agency to review each obligation and determine 
     together whether or not it is actually available for 
     rescission. Only after consultation with and agreement from 
     the Agency, should the OIG report to Congress as available 
     for rescission any funds attached to grants with active 
     performance periods.
       Black Carbon Study.--The conferees have included a modified 
     version of the language proposed by the Senate requiring the 
     Agency to conduct a study on black carbon emissions and have 
     provided additional direction under the Science and 
     Technology account.

                      TITLE III--RELATED AGENCIES

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

                             Forest Service

       The conference agreement provides a total of $5,297,256,000 
     for all Forest Service accounts instead of $5,420,138,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $5,368,758,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate (including the entire $834,000,000 proposed by the 
     Senate in their section 431 version of the FLAME Act). The 
     detailed allocation of funding by appropriation account and 
     budget activity is included in the table at the end of the 
     statement.
       The conference agreement concurs with the House proposed 
     language encouraging the Forest Service to accelerate the 
     longleaf pine restoration effort using funds provided within 
     the National Forest System, State and Private Forestry, and 
     Forest and Rangeland Research accounts.


                     FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH

       The conference agreement provides $312,012,000 for Forest 
     and Rangeland Research instead of $308,612,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $307,012,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     detailed allocation of funding by activity for this account 
     is included in the table at the end of the statement. In 
     addition to the directions provided in the House and Senate 
     committee reports, the conference agreement also provides the 
     following directions:
       Research and Development Programs.--The conference 
     agreement includes the $5,000,000 funding increase and the 
     directions proposed by the House concerning the global 
     climate change program increase and the Senate proposed 
     increase above the request of $400,000 to increase the budget 
     request for the Center for Bottomlands Hardwood Research, MS, 
     for a total of $800,000. The House proposed fixed cost 
     increase is not included. The conferees reiterate their 
     support for the amount requested for the Northeastern States 
     Research Cooperative and expect the Service to allocate funds 
     among participating entities.
       Forest Inventory and Analysis.--The conference agreement 
     includes an increase of $5,000,000 above the request as 
     recommended by the Senate. The Senate directions concerning 
     this program should be followed.


                       STATE AND PRIVATE FORESTRY

       The conference agreement provides $308,061,000 for State 
     and Private Forestry instead of $307,486,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $276,946,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     detailed allocation of funding by activity for this account 
     is included in the table at the end of the statement. In 
     addition to the directions provided in the House and Senate 
     committee reports, the conference agreement also provides the 
     following directions:
       Forest Health Management.--The conference agreement 
     provides an increase of $2,000,000 above the request for high 
     priority work in the Federal program as described by the 
     House. The cooperative program includes the $2,000,000 
     increase for emerald ash borer urban restoration as 
     recommended by the House as well as the Senate proposed 
     $750,000 increase for gypsy moth activities. The conferees 
     encourage the Service to pursue additional emerald ash borer 
     response activities such as those discussed by the Senate to 
     help the State of Wisconsin, within the normal program.
       As detailed below, the conference agreement also allows up 
     to $2,000,000 within the cooperative forest health management 
     program to be made available for the Pest and Disease 
     Revolving Loan Fund established by Public Law 110-246.
       Cooperative Fire Protection.--The conference agreement 
     includes an increase of $4,000,000 for State Fire Assistance 
     as recommended by the House, which should be targeted for 
     activities related to implementing State-wide Assessment and 
     Resource Strategy plans.
       Forest Stewardship.--The conference agreement includes the 
     House proposed increase of $1,000,000 for the Chesapeake Bay 
     program but the agreement does not include the other 
     increases proposed by the House.
       Forest Legacy.--The Forest Legacy program is funded at a 
     total level of $79,460,000, of which $3,000,000 is derived 
     from prior-year unobligated funds. This includes $6,200,000 
     for program administration, $500,000 to initiate the 
     community forest program, and $72,760,000 for forest legacy 
     projects. The Service should fund projects in priority order 
     according to their competitively-selected national priority 
     list for fiscal year 2010.

     section 10205(b) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 
     2008 (16 U.S.C. 2104 a(b)).


                         NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement provides $1,551,339,000 for the 
     National Forest System instead of $1,564,801,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $1,552,429,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
     The detailed allocation of funding by activity for this 
     account is included in the table at the end of the statement. 
     The House proposed increases within several budget activities 
     for climate change adaptation are not included. In addition 
     to the directions provided in the House and Senate committee 
     reports, the conference agreement also provides the following 
     directions:
       Land management planning.--The conference agreement 
     includes $399,000 above the request to partially offset fixed 
     cost increases.
       Inventory and Monitoring.--The conference agreement 
     includes $1,807,000 above the request to partially offset 
     fixed cost increases.
       Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness.--The conference 
     agreement does not include the House proposed increases for 
     fixed costs or the youth and conservation initiative. The 
     agreement does include an increase of $5,000,000 above the

       Wildlife and Fisheries Habitat Management.--The conference 
     agreement includes $1,543,000 above the request to partially 
     offset fixed cost increases.
       Forest Products.--The conference agreement does not include 
     the Senate proposed increase for regions with recently closed 
     and at-risk mills but does include an increase above the 
     request of $6,513,000 to offset fixed costs. The conferees 
     expect the Service to consider regional needs to maintain at-
     risk forest products infrastructure as it allocates the fixed 
     cost increase. The Senate proposed increase of $1,250,000 to 
     increase the budget request for the Tongass National Forest 
     timber pipeline program, AK, is included.
       Vegetation and Watershed Management.--The conference

     marijuana eradication activities on national forest system 
     lands as proposed by the Senate and discussed during House 
     floor action. The conferees have retained Senate direction 
     regarding the allocation of this increase.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement provides three-
     year authority for the Forest Service to transfer up to 
     $10,000,000 to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land 
     Management, for certain wild horse and cadastral survey work 
     they perform on behalf of the Service.


                  CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement provides $556,053,000 for Capital 
     Improvement and Maintenance instead of $560,673,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $513,418,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees note that they have agreed to offset 
     these funds with a $18,000,000 scoring credit, as proposed by 
     the House and Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     activity for this account is included in the table at the end 
     of the statement. In addition to the directions provided in 
     the House and Senate committee reports, the conference 
     agreement also provides the following directions:
       Facilities Capital Improvement.--The conference agreement 
     provides for the following projects: $595,000 increase for 
     facilities improvements on the Monongahela National Forest, 
     WV; an increase of $800,000 above the budget request to 
     continue construction of research stations in Hawaii, for a 
     total of $1,460,000; $500,000 to complete construction of a 
     Cherokee National Forest work center, TN; $1,900,000 for 
     relocation of the Northern Great Plains Interagency Dispatch 
     Center on the Black Hills National Forest, SD; and $475,000 
     to redesign the Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area and campground, 
     TX.
       Road Capital Improvement.--The conference agreement 
     includes an increase of $1,521,000 for road improvements for 
     the Monongahela National Forest, WV.

         ACQUISITION OF LANDS FOR NATIONAL FORESTS SPECIAL ACTS

       The conference agreement includes $1,050,000 as requested 
     and as proposed by both the House and the Senate for 
     Acquisition of Lands for National Forests Special Acts.


            ACQUISITION OF LANDS TO COMPLETE LAND EXCHANGES

       The conference agreement includes $250,000 as requested and 
     as proposed by both the House and the Senate for Acquisition 
     of Lands to Complete Land Exchanges.


                         RANGE BETTERMENT FUND

       The conference agreement includes $3,600,000 as requested 
     and as proposed by both the House and the Senate for the 
     Range Betterment Fund.


    GIFTS, DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS FOR FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH

       The conference agreement includes $50,000 as requested and 
     as proposed by both the House and the Senate for Gifts, 
     Donations and Bequests for Forest and Rangeland Research.


        management of national forest land for subsistence uses

       The conference agreement includes $2,582,000 as requested 
     and as proposed by both the House and the Senate for 
     Management of National Forest Lands for Subsistence Uses.


                        WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement provides $2,178,737,000 for Forest 
     Service Wildland Fire Management instead of $2,370,288,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $1,817,637,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conference agreement also includes an additional 
     $413,000,000 for the new Forest Service FLAME Wildfire 
     Suppression Reserve Fund established in the FLAME Act of 2009 
     (Title V of this Act). The Senate had included $282,000,000 
     for a contingency reserve fund within Wildland Fire 
     Management, whereas the House had included $282,000,000 in a 
     separate Wildland Fire Suppression Contingency Reserve 
     account, as requested. The Senate recommendation also 
     included in section 431 an additional $834,000,000 for the 
     inter-departmental FLAME Fund and an additional $10,000,000 
     in a separate Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration 
     Fund.
       The detailed allocation of funding by activity for the 
     wildfire accounts is included in the table at the end of the 
     statement. The conferees note that the funding provided 
     includes the use of $75,000,000 in prior year funds because 
     the suppression activity had large, non-emergency carry-over 
     balances from fiscal year 2009. In addition to the directions 
     provided in the House and Senate committee reports, the 
     conference agreement also provides the following directions:
       Wildfire Preparedness.--The conference agreement provides 
     $675,000,000 as requested for preparedness but not the funds 
     recommended by the House and the Senate for fixed costs or 
     firefighter retention. The conferees have retained direction 
     directing the Secretary of Agriculture, after notifying the 
     House and Senate Appropriations Committees, to adjust 
     allocations between preparedness and suppression funds to 
     ensure that readiness needs are fully funded for this fiscal 
     year. However, the conferees are concerned that these shifts 
     of aviation, personnel and overhead costs to the suppression 
     appropriation have continued to grow exponentially and 
     cloaked the true cost of the agency's readiness needs. The 
     conferees believe an analysis of base preparedness 
     requirements must be an essential element of the firefighting 
     budget reforms proposed in Title V and has provided 
     additional direction to that effect within the description of 
     that title. Further, the conferees note that firefighter 
     retention initiatives for fiscal year 2010 will be fully 
     funded by prior-year appropriations as appropriate to 
     maintain experienced and qualified staffing.
       The conferees reiterate the House and Senate direction 
     concerning readiness required for public safety and the 
     requirement that the Forest Service provide a copy of its 
     report on Federal air tanker needs, including an estimate of 
     replacement costs, within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
       Wildfire Suppression Operations.--The conference agreement 
     includes $997,505,000 for wildland fire suppression instead 
     of $1,128,505,000 as proposed by the House and $369,505,000 
     as proposed by the Senate. As noted above, the Senate had 
     also included $834,000,000 in section 431 for an inter-
     departmental FLAME fund. The conferees note the use of 
     $75,000,000 in prior year funding. An additional $413,000,000 
     for suppression activities is provided in the new Forest 
     Service FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund. The 
     conferees note that the Department of the Interior wildland 
     fire suppression accounts are provided $444,797,000, 
     including $61,000,000 in the new Department of the Interior 
     FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund. Thus, the sum for 
     wildfire suppression for both Departments, including both the 
     suppression and the FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund 
     accounts is

[[Page 25983]]

     $1,855,302,000. This total is equal to the request for all 
     wildfire suppression accounts and is $526,164,000 above the 
     fiscal year 2009 funding level. This is the largest non-
     emergency funding increase ever provided for wildfire 
     suppression.
       The conferees note that additional direction concerning the 
     use of the new Forest Service and Interior Department FLAME 
     Wildfire Suppression Reserve Funds is included in Title V 
     accompanying the FLAME Act of 2009. In particular, the 
     conferees note that direction has been provided to the 
     Service in Title V relating to the formulation of future fire 
     suppression budget estimates for Wildland Fire Management and 
     FLAME Fund appropriations. The use of the FLAME funds is 
     entirely consistent with the risk-informed wildfire 
     suppression reforms discussed in the budget request, 
     including expanded use of the Wildland Fire Decision Support 
     System, which will result in strengthened oversight and 
     accountability of suppression spending.
       The conferees reiterate that both the Interior Department 
     and the Forest Service should ensure that cost containment is 
     an important priority when suppressing wildland fires. Both 
     Departments must examine and report promptly to the Congress 
     and on agency websites, using independent panels on each and 
     every individual wildfire incident which results in 
     suppression expenses greater than $10,000,000.
       The conferees note that bill language included in the 
     Administrative Provisions provides authority for the Forest 
     Service to transfer non-wildfire funds for emergency wildfire 
     suppression once all the funds in this account and the new 
     FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund will be exhausted 
     within 30 days.
       Hazardous Fuels Reduction.--The conference agreement 
     provides $350,285,000 for hazardous fuels reduction 
     activities at the Forest Service instead of $378,086,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $340,285,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The agreement provides a $25,000,000 increase for 
     this program; the Service is directed to allocate this 
     increase to areas that face the highest risk of catastrophic 
     wildfire based on fuel loads and values at risk. The 
     conference agreement also includes $10,000,000 for fuels 
     reduction and restoration activities authorized by the 
     Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Act (P.L. 111-11) 
     within this account instead of within a separate 
     appropriations account as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees expect the Service to follow direction included in 
     the Senate report regarding the submission of forest 
     landscape projects funded through this new program no later 
     than March 1, 2010. The agreement does not include the 
     general program increase recommended by the House. The 
     agreement includes the House recommendation of $5,000,000 for 
     certain biomass grants as was requested.
       Rehabilitation.--The conference agreement includes the 
     $100,000 increase proposed by the House for the San 
     Bernardino, CA, urban youth conservation corps. The conferees 
     note that there have been extreme wildfires in recent years, 
     which will require extensive rehabilitation and restoration 
     activities. The Service is urged to provide a detailed 
     assessment of future needs and accomplishments in the next 
     budget request.
       Forest Health Management.--The conference agreement 
     includes general program increases above the fiscal year 2009 
     level of $3,500,000 for Federal lands forest health 
     management and $1,500,000 for cooperative lands forest health 
     management.
       State Fire Assistance.--The conference agreement includes a 
     general program increase of $15,000,000. This will help the 
     States accomplish national fire plan activities including 
     hazardous fuels reduction and implementation of community 
     wildfire protection plans. The agreement also includes the 
     following increases above the request as proposed by the 
     Senate: $4,000,000 for the South Lake Tahoe Public Utility 
     District to increase the budget request for the Lake Tahoe 
     Community Fire Protection Project to fund water system 
     improvements by local utility districts to enhance 
     firefighting capability, for a total of $5,000,000; 
     $2,000,000 for fire risk reduction activities by California 
     Fire Safe Council chapters, including activities in the Lake 
     Tahoe Basin, for a total of $5,000,000; and $250,000 for the 
     City of Reno, NV to fund firefighting equipment for the 
     wildland-urban interface. The conferees have agreed that a 25 
     percent local match shall be required for Fire Safe Council 
     grants.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement modifies the 
     language in the budget request and House recommendation 
     concerning procurements and cooperative agreements for 
     hazardous fuels and associated monitoring activities so it is 
     limited to $15,000,000. The conference agreement includes 
     Senate-proposed language: (1) allowing up to $15,000,000 in 
     hazardous fuels funding to be transferred to the National 
     Forest System account at the sole discretion of the Forest 
     Service Chief 30 days after notifying the Committees on 
     Appropriations; and (2) concerning the use of funds on 
     adjacent non-Federal lands and the availability of funds to 
     implement the Community Forest Restoration Act. As previously 
     noted, modified language is also included that allows 
     $10,000,000 of funds made available for hazardous fuels 
     reduction to be deposited in the Collaborative Forest 
     Restoration Fund. Bill language is included that directs the 
     Forest Service to make no less than $75,000,000 in prior year 
     non-emergency wildfire suppression funds available for 
     wildfire suppression purposes in addition to amounts 
     otherwise provided. The agreement includes the House proposed 
     language allowing up to $50,000,000 to be transferred between 
     the Interior Department and the Forest Service when such 
     transfers would facilitate and expedite jointly funded 
     wildland fire management programs and projects.
       The conference agreement does not include the Wildland Fire 
     Contingency Reserve Fund, which was in the request and the 
     House recommendation. Instead, funds are provided for the 
     FLAME Wildland Fire Suppression Reserve Fund, as described 
     below.


              FLAME WILDLAND FIRE SUPPRESSION RESERVE FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement provides $413,000,000 for the new 
     Forest Service FLAME Wildland Fire Suppression Reserve Fund 
     established in the FLAME Act of 2009 (Title V of this Act). 
     The Senate had included $282,000,000 within the Wildland Fire 
     Management account for a suppression reserve, whereas the 
     House had included, as requested, $282,000,000 for a separate 
     Wildland Fire Suppression Contingency Reserve Fund. Further 
     direction on the use of this new account is provided in Title 
     V. The conferees note that funding provided this year as a 
     beginning allocation is equal to the actual expenditures 
     during fiscal year 2009 by the Forest Service on large 
     wildfire suppression events, as defined by the FLAME Act of 
     2009 (Title V of this Act). A similar account in the 
     Department of the Interior is also provided an additional 
     $61,000,000. The conferees have established these funding 
     levels to give the Department of the Interior and the Forest 
     Service some degree of funding flexibility as they develop 
     appropriate procedures and infrastructure for the FLAME 
     Funds. However, these levels are not intended to represent a 
     final method for calculating FLAME Fund budget requests. 
     Instead, as provided in Title V, the conferees expect the 
     agencies to develop new methods for formulating fire 
     suppression funding estimates for the Wildland Fire 
     Management and FLAME Fund appropriations accounts as part of 
     their fiscal year 2011 budget request.
       The conferees appreciate the Administration's recognition 
     that budgeting for wildfire suppression using the 10-year 
     rolling average has failed to keep pace with actual funding 
     requirements and has led to significant disruption as 
     agencies borrow from non-fire program accounts when funds are 
     exhausted. The conferees intend that, for fiscal year 2010 
     and beyond, amounts provided through the FLAME Fund, together 
     with amounts provided through the Wildland Fire Management 
     account, should fully fund anticipated wildland fire 
     suppression requirements and prevent future borrowing from 
     non-fire programs.


               ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS, FOREST SERVICE

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement includes administrative provisions 
     similar to previous years. This includes limiting transfers 
     to the USDA for reimbursable charges to the requested amount 
     and allowing up to $55,000,000 to be assessed for fire, 
     administrative and other facilities maintenance. The House 
     recommended language continuing a provision concerning the 
     use of funds for certain Puerto Rico school expenses is 
     included. The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 for 
     the National Forest Foundation and $3,000,000 for the 
     National Fish and Wildlife Foundation; it is acceptable for 
     these foundations to make grants to Federal recipients, 
     including Forest Service offices. As recommended by the 
     House, the Government Accountability Office should conduct an 
     independent analysis of centralized business services of the 
     Forest Service, including a comprehensive review of the 
     purchase card program.
       The bill language concerning transfers of funds for certain 
     emergency wildfire suppression needs has been modified from 
     the versions recommended by either the House or the Senate to 
     be consistent with the FLAME Act of 2009. Non-wildfire 
     suppression funds may not be transferred unless all other 
     funds, including both those in the Wildland Fire Management 
     account and the FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund, will 
     be fully exhausted within 30 days. The Service should take 
     its first fire suppression transfers from unobligated 
     balances, if available, from the Knutson-Vandenberg Trust 
     Fund and other permanent and trust fund accounts, and use 
     those balances, as appropriate, before transferring funds 
     from discretionary accounts.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

                         Indian Health Service


                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES

       The conference agreement provides $3,657,618,000 for Indian 
     Health Services as proposed by the House, instead of 
     $3,639,868,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed 
     allocation of funding by program area and activity for this 
     account is included in the table at the end of the statement. 
     The conference agreement also includes the following 
     directions:

[[Page 25984]]

       Domestic Violence Prevention.--The conference agreement 
     provides a total of $10,000,000 as proposed by the House for 
     domestic violence and sexual assault prevention and 
     treatment, instead of $7,500,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
     From within those funds, the Indian Health Service (IHS) is 
     directed to implement a nationally coordinated Sexual Assault 
     Forensic Examiner/Sexual Assault Response Team (SAFE/SART) 
     program to be used to fund IHS and Tribally managed 
     hospitals, clinics and/or other facilities that provide 24/7 
     emergency care through competitive grants, 638 contracts and/
     or program awards to build local SAFE and SART capacity. In 
     addition, the Service is directed to expand its national 
     domestic violence grant program through competitive grants, 
     638 contracts and/or program awards to address the growing 
     need for these services.
       As the need for domestic violence programs increases, so do 
     the number of cases that need to be prosecuted. However, 
     there have been reports that the Department of Health and 
     Human Services policy on witness subpoenas impedes the 
     ability of IHS personnel to present evidence or testimony in 
     these cases. This can cause the cases to be dropped and the 
     perpetrators to potentially walk free. This scenario is 
     simply unacceptable. Therefore, the Department and the 
     Service are directed to reevaluate and revise this policy to 
     ensure that IHS personnel are able to testify and present 
     evidence in these cases and to report to the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations on their revised policy within 
     90 days of enactment of this Act.
       Dental Health.--The conference agreement provides 
     $152,634,000 for dental health programs as proposed by the 
     House, instead of $151,384,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of 
     those funds, $1,000,000 is for the Headquarters Division of 
     Oral Health to expand the dental residency program and 
     $250,000 is to expand the summer extern program. In addition, 
     the Service is directed to further its dental health efforts 
     by utilizing a portion of the health information technology 
     funds to refine and expedite the deployment schedule of the 
     electronic dental record system.
       Urban Indian Health Program.--The conference agreement 
     provides $43,139,000 as proposed by the House for urban 
     health programs, instead of $38,139,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The increase is provided to assist the Service in 
     addressing shortfalls within this program that have 
     accumulated over the last several years. Bill language from 
     previous years has not been included because the conferees 
     are satisfied that the Administration does not intend to 
     eliminate this program.


                        INDIAN HEALTH FACILITIES

       The conference agreement provides $394,757,000 for Indian 
     Health Facilities as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by program area 
     and activity for this account is included in the table at the 
     end of the statement. The conference agreement also includes 
     the following directions:
       The conferees remain concerned about the systemic 
     weaknesses in the IHS inventory management system, as 
     identified by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). A 
     recently released follow-up investigation by the GAO suggests 
     these weaknesses persist. The conferees expect the Service to 
     ensure that the provision of health care services is not 
     adversely affected by these problems and demonstrate that it 
     is working aggressively to strengthen administration and 
     accountability. The Service is directed to evaluate its 
     inventory management system, identify and correct any 
     deficiencies, and provide a detailed report to the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations on its efforts within 60 
     days of enactment of this Act.
       The conferees are concerned about the persistent backlog of 
     Indian Health Service health facilities construction projects 
     serving American Indians and Alaska Natives. The conferees 
     believe that the joint venture program provides a cost-
     effective means to address this backlog and to increase 
     access to health care services for American Indians and 
     Alaska Natives. The conferees are aware that IHS is currently 
     reviewing competitive applications from Tribes and Tribal 
     organizations to participate in the 2010 joint venture 
     program and encourage the Service to move forward with the 
     process in an expeditious manner.

                     National Institutes of Health

          National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

       The conference agreement provides $79,212,000 for the 
     National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences as 
     requested and as proposed by both the House and the Senate.

            Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry


            TOXIC SUBSTANCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH

       The conference agreement provides $76,792,000 for the 
     Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry as requested 
     and as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The 
     conferees continue to be concerned with the CDC's 
     administrative costs. The conferees are aware that the CDC 
     plans to commission a study on administrative costs. The 
     conferees direct the ATSDR to submit the results of that 
     study, as soon as it becomes available. If necessary, the 
     House and Senate Committees on Appropriations may consider a 
     cap on administration expenses.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes language 
     that provides up to $1,000 per eligible employee of the ATSDR 
     for Individual Learning Accounts as proposed by the House.

                         OTHER RELATED AGENCIES

                   Executive Office of the President


  COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

       The conference agreement provides $3,159,000 for the 
     Council on Environmental Quality and Office of Environmental 
     Quality as requested and as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate. The conference agreement also includes the 
     following directions:
       Appalachian Surface Coal Mining Interagency Plan.--The 
     conferees expect the Council on Environmental Quality to 
     abide by the language in Senate Report 111-38 referencing the 
     Administration's Interagency Action Plan to ``diversify and 
     strengthen the Appalachian regional economy.'' The conferees 
     direct the Council, in coordination with the Appalachian 
     Regional Commission, to provide a detailed report no later 
     than March 31, 2010, on how the Administration intends to 
     achieve its goals.

             Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conference agreement provides $11,147,000 for the 
     Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board instead of 
     $10,547,000 as proposed by the House and $11,195,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement includes 
     language that: limits the Board to not more than three career 
     SES positions; directs that EPA's Inspector General serve as 
     the Board's Inspector General; and instructs the Board to 
     utilize the personnel in EPA's Office of Inspector General. 
     The conferees have not included language to transfer funds 
     from the Board's account to the EPA OIG account, as proposed 
     by the House. The Inspector General has confirmed that he has 
     sufficient funds in fiscal year 2010 to perform this 
     function. The conference agreement also includes the 
     following specific funding levels and directions:
       Methyl isocyanate report.--The conference agreement 
     includes bill language that designates $600,000 for a 
     National Academy of Sciences report on the use and storage of 
     methyl isocyanate and alternatives at the Bayer CropScience 
     facility in Institute, WV.

              Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conference agreement provides $8,000,000 for the Office 
     of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation, Salaries and Expenses 
     as requested and proposed by both the House and the Senate.

   Insititute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts 
                              Development


                        PAYMENT TO THE INSTITUTE

       The conference agreement provides $8,300,000 for the 
     Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and 
     Arts Development as requested and proposed by both the House 
     and the Senate.

                        Smithsonian Institution


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conference agreement includes $636,161,000 for the 
     Salaries and Expenses account of the Smithsonian Institution, 
     instead of $634,161,000 as requested and as proposed by both 
     the House and the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding 
     by program area and activity is included in the table at the 
     end of this section of the statement. The increase above the 
     request is designated for the museum-wide collections care 
     initiative to assist the Institution in strengthening its 
     efforts to preserve priceless historical collections. The 
     conference agreement includes bill language proposed by the 
     House concerning two-year funding availability. Language is 
     also included in the bill as proposed by the Senate 
     stipulating that from within the funds provided, $250,000 
     will be used to carry out activities under the Civil Rights 
     History Project Act of 2009.
       The conferees note that some Smithsonian Institution 
     collections, such as the priceless military uniform 
     collection at the National Museum of American History, may be 
     stored in unsatisfactory conditions. The conferees urge the 
     Smithsonian to take the necessary steps to preserve these 
     irreplaceable historical collections and ensure that 
     preservation of its collections is made a high priority.


                           FACILITIES CAPITAL

       The conference agreement includes $125,000,000 as requested 
     and as proposed by the Senate instead of $140,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House for the Facilities Capital account.


                              LEGACY FUND

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement includes a net increase of 
     $234,000 as proposed by the Senate for the Legacy Fund 
     instead of no appropriation as proposed by the House. The 
     conference agreement includes the Senate proposal to rescind 
     $29,766,000 in prior year balances in this account and 
     appropriate

[[Page 25985]]

     $30,000,000 for revitalization of the Arts and Industries 
     building on the National Mall, provided the funds are matched 
     on a 1:1 basis with private contributions.
       The conference agreement does not include the House 
     recommended administrative provision, which allowed the 
     fiscal year 2008 Legacy Fund appropriation to be transferred 
     into the Facilities Capital account, to be used under the 
     terms and conditions of that account.

                        National Gallery of Art


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conference agreement provides $110,746,000 for the 
     Salaries and Expenses account of the National Gallery of Art 
     as proposed by both the House and the Senate. Bill language 
     is included which allows up to $3,386,000 for the Special 
     Exhibition Program, as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by activity for 
     this account is included in the table at the end of this 
     section of the statement.


            REPAIR, RESTORATION AND RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS

       The conference agreement provides $56,259,000 for the 
     Repair, Restoration and Renovation account as proposed by the 
     House instead of $54,499,000 as proposed by the Senate. Bill 
     language is included which provides $40,000,000 for the 
     repair of the East Building exterior marble facade, as 
     proposed by the House. The conferees have provided this 
     significant increase in light of the considerable public 
     safety hazard posed by the deterioration of the facade. In 
     addition, the agreement includes bill language as proposed by 
     the Senate to allow for a single contract for the full scope 
     of this project.

             John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts


                       OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

       The conference agreement provides $23,000,000 for the 
     Operations and Maintenance account instead of $25,000,000 
     proposed by the House and $22,500,000 proposed by the Senate. 
     Bill language has been included as proposed by the House 
     directing $500,000 toward the Center's efforts to assist arts 
     organizations nationwide with tools to manage the challenges 
     posed by the economy. Such assistance should address issues 
     including board governance, budgeting, marketing, and 
     technology. The Kennedy Center is directed to submit a 
     spending plan for these funds no later than 30 days after 
     enactment of this Act.


                     CAPITAL REPAIR AND RESTORATION

       The conference agreement provides $17,447,000 for the 
     Capital Repair and Restoration account as proposed by both 
     the House and the Senate.

            Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conference agreement provides $12,225,000 for the 
     Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars as proposed 
     by the House instead of $10,225,000 as proposed in the 
     request and by the Senate. Within the overall increase, 
     $650,000 is provided for the Kissinger Institute on China and 
     the United States, which was established by the Center last 
     year, and other related Asia programs. While the conferees 
     understand that the Institute was originally to be supported 
     solely with private contributions, the downturn in the 
     economy has slowed the response to the Center's initial 
     fundraising efforts. This program support will allow the 
     Institute to move forward with its first initiatives at a 
     critical stage in its development. An additional amount of 
     $600,000 is provided for necessary administrative costs that 
     were not covered in the request. Language has been included 
     in the bill, as proposed by the House, to make the Center's 
     appropriation available for two years in order to accommodate 
     any issues that may arise because of discrepancies between 
     the obligation of grant monies and the fiscal year calendar.

             National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities

                    National Endowment for the Arts


                       GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION

       The conference agreement provides $167,500,000 for the 
     National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) instead of $170,000,000 
     as proposed by the House and $161,315,000 as requested and 
     proposed by the Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by 
     program area for this account is included in the table at the 
     end of the statement.
       The conferees commend the National Endowment for the Arts 
     for promoting literacy and reading in the United States 
     through the highly acclaimed Big Read program. The Big Read 
     engages communities of all sizes and Americans of all ages by 
     celebrating the literary works of American writers. Since 
     2005, the NEA has awarded grants--leveraged with millions of 
     private sector dollars--in every State and virtually every 
     Congressional district in the United States. The NEA study, 
     Reading on the Rise, released last year, documents a 
     definitive increase in the number of American adults who read 
     with the biggest increase in young adults aged 18-24. This 
     new growth reverses two decades of downward trends cited in 
     previous NEA reports. The conferees remain committed to the 
     Big Read program and direct the NEA to report to the House 
     and Senate Committees on Appropriations, no later than 60 
     days after enactment of this Act, with a detailed funding 
     plan for the continuation of this popular and successful 
     program.
       Bill Language.--The conference agreement includes three 
     provisions in Title IV, General Provisions, which relate to 
     the NEA. The first, Section 417, concurs with the 
     administration's request to reinstate four positions on the 
     National Council on the Arts that were eliminated in 1996. 
     This expansion will enable the National Endowment to receive 
     counsel and advice from a more diverse body that represents a 
     broader array of arts disciplines and fields.
       Sections 438 and 439 include the full text of language 
     regarding program priorities and grant guidelines, which in 
     recent years has been incorporated by reference to sections 
     309 and 311 of P.L. 108-447. These provisions are in addition 
     to the instructions provided under the agency's most recent 
     authorization regarding the awarding of grants. The conferees 
     have taken this step in light of recent controversies in 
     order to restate for the Endowment and the general public the 
     guidelines within which the agency is expected to conduct its 
     work and distribute taxpayer dollars in support of the arts.
       Finally, the conferees note that section 402 of Title IV, 
     General Provisions, prohibits any agency, including the NEA, 
     from any activity, publication or distribution of literature 
     that ``in any way (emphasis added) tends to promote public 
     support or opposition to any legislative proposal on which 
     Congressional action is not complete other than to 
     communicate to Members of Congress. . . .'' The conferees 
     urge the NEA to take immediate steps to ensure that all 
     employees are aware of these provisions when conducting any 
     activities funded by this appropriation.

                 National Endowment for the Humanities


                       GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION

       The conference agreement provides $167,500,000 for the 
     National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) instead of 
     $170,000,000 as proposed by the House and $161,315,000 as 
     requested and proposed by the Senate. The conferees do not 
     agree with the proposal to fund the National Capital Arts and 
     Cultural Affairs grant program through the NEH. Instead, the 
     conferees agree to continue administering the National 
     Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs grant program through the 
     Commission of Fine Arts as proposed by both the House and 
     Senate. The detailed allocation of funding by program area 
     for this account is included in the table at the end of this 
     section of the statement.

                        Commission of Fine Arts


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

       The conference agreement provides $2,294,000 for the 
     Commission of Fine Arts, as requested and proposed by both 
     the House and the Senate.

               National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs

       The conference agreement provides $9,500,000 for the 
     National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs grant program as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by 
     the House. Language is included in the bill in title IV, 
     General Provisions, to adjust the authorized funding level 
     for this program to $10,000,000 and increase the maximum 
     allowable grant level to $650,000 per recipient per year in 
     agreement with the House proposal. The Senate bill did not 
     contain this provision.

                       HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

       The conference agreement provides $49,122,000 for the 
     United States Holocaust Memorial Museum as proposed by the 
     Senate, instead of $48,551,000 as requested and as proposed 
     by the House. The increase above the request is provided to 
     sustain the additional security measures that were 
     implemented by the Museum earlier this year immediately 
     following the tragic shooting of an employee there. The 
     conferees understand that further steps may be taken upon 
     completion of a security review by the Department of Homeland 
     Security based on the findings contained therein.

       Sec. 444. Modifies language included by both the House and

       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     included by the Senate prohibiting the use of funds in this 
     or any other Act for competitive sourcing studies and 
     associated activities involving the Forest Service.
       The conference agreement does not retain language included 
     by the Senate expressing the sense of the Senate that the 
     National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recovery Program effectively 
     addresses mercury pollution and should continue. Instead, the 
     conferees have included language on this issue as part of the 
     joint explanatory statement for the Environmental Programs 
     and Management account.
       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     included by the House that required bonus bids for lease 
     sales of coal to be paid at the time of sale rather than over 
     a five-year period.
       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     included by the House that prevented the Secretary of the 
     Interior from transferring funding to the Secretary of Energy 
     for certain energy research purposes.
       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     included by the House that allowed funding under the Secure 
     Rural Schools Act to be used for certain purposes.
       The conferees have not agreed to statutory language 
     proposed by the Senate in its section 424 regarding 
     limitations on the use of certain funds made available 
     through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (P.L. 111-
     5) to the Forest Service. The conferees note that the Service 
     was given legal authority under the Recovery Act to fund 
     $250,000,000 of hazardous fuels reduction, forest health and 
     ecosystem restoration projects, including urban forestry 
     projects, using all authorities available to the Service 
     through the State and Private Forestry appropriation. 
     However, the conferees believe that greater priority should 
     have been given to projects that both create jobs and reduce 
     fire risk. The conferees note that there appears to be an 
     inadequate relationship between the geographical allocation 
     of project funding by the Forest Service and the need for 
     jobs to reduce unemployment. Further, the conferees remain 
     troubled by the lack of transparency and the lack of 
     communication from the Service and the Department of 
     Agriculture related to the project selection process. The 
     Service is directed to provide to the House and Senate 
     Appropriations Committees, within 30 days of enactment of 
     this Act, a comprehensive list of all projects selected for 
     Recovery Act funding; a detailed description, including 
     proposed accomplishments, for each project; and a detailed 
     description of criteria used to select each

[[Page 25987]]

     project. Finally, the conferees direct that no additional 
     funds from the Recovery Act be expended on urban and 
     community forestry projects unless previously announced by 
     the Secretary, and that in the future, any additional 
     projects will be devoted to activities that directly reduce 
     fire hazards on public and private lands.

  TITLE V--FEDERAL LAND ASSISTANCE, MANAGEMENT AND ENHANCEMENT ACT OF 
                        2009 (FLAME ACT OF 2009)

       Title V of the conference agreement includes the FLAME Act 
     of 2009. This Act is very similar to the FLAME Act included 
     in sections 431 and 432 in the Senate recommended bill and 
     H.R. 1404, which passed the House of Representatives on March 
     26, 2009. The conference agreement has strengthened the 
     workability and usefulness of the previous FLAME Acts while 
     retaining most major provisions. The main change is the 
     creation of FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Funds in both 
     the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior, and 
     the appropriation of funds for these funds under normal 
     appropriation accounts within title I and title III. These 
     changes also make the FLAME Act consistent with other 
     wildfire suppression reforms recommended in the 
     Administration budget request. This includes risk-informed 
     wildfire suppression reforms discussed in the budget request, 
     and expanded use of the Wildland Fire Decision Support 
     System, which will result in strengthened oversight and 
     accountability of suppression spending.
       The conferees expect the budget reforms provided through 
     this title, together with changes to the agencies' 
     appropriations accounts in titles I and III, will lead to 
     improved transparency regarding the true costs of fire 
     preparedness and suppression activities. The conferees expect 
     these budget reforms to be accompanied by a commitment from 
     the Administration that fire readiness and suppression 
     activities will not be funded at the expense of other 
     programs, and that any non-fire program transfers will be 
     accounted for and reported to the appropriate Congressional 
     committees in a transparent manner and will be promptly 
     repaid.
       Section 501. Short Title.--Section 501 consists of the 
     short title of the Act, the Federal Land Assistance, 
     Management and Enhancement Act of 2009 or, for short, the 
     FLAME Act of 2009.
       Section 502. FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Funds.--
     Section 502 includes the major portions of the FLAME Act of 
     2009.
       The FLAME Act of 2009 includes a clear purpose statement: 
     the FLAME Funds shall be available to cover the costs of 
     large or complex wildfire events and as a reserve when 
     amounts provided for wildfire suppression and Federal 
     emergency response in the Wildland Fire Management 
     appropriation accounts are exhausted (section 502 (c)).
       The Department of the Interior and the Forest Service each 
     are authorized to have their own account, but there are the 
     same requirements for the two accounts (section 502 (b)). The 
     FLAME reserve accounts are transfer accounts, from which each 
     Secretary may transfer funds into their respective Wildland 
     Fire Management account for wildfire suppression activities, 
     if certain conditions are met. These conditions require a 
     Secretarial declaration and are nearly the same as required 
     in the previous Senate and House FLAME acts: either the 
     wildfire event is large or complex, or the respective 
     wildland fire suppression account will be exhausted within 30 
     days (section 502 (e)).
       The conferees intend that amounts provided through the 
     FLAME Fund, together with amounts provided through the 
     Wildland Fire Management appropriations account, should fully 
     fund anticipated wildland fire suppression requirements in 
     advance of fire season and prevent future borrowing from non-
     fire programs. To satisfy this requirement, the conferees 
     direct the Secretaries to develop new methods for formulating 
     fire suppression funding estimates for the Wildland Fire 
     Management and FLAME Fund appropriations accounts as part of 
     their fiscal year 2011 budget request. In formulating these 
     estimates, the conferees expect the Secretaries to consider 
     data regarding actual prior-year fire suppression 
     expenditures, predictive modeling, and any other criteria 
     that they deem appropriate, consistent with the direction 
     provided in this title. Further, as noted previously, the 
     conferees expect the Service to analyze current readiness 
     requirements and to submit a realigned preparedness budget in 
     fiscal year 2011 that accurately reflects anticipated 
     readiness costs instead of relying on large-scale shifts to 
     the suppression appropriation.
       In addition, each Secretary is given authority to transfer 
     up to $100,000,000 per fiscal year to the other department's 
     FLAME Wildland Fire Suppression Reserve Fund if one 
     department has much greater expenses than the other (section 
     502 (d)(5)). A Congressional intent statement indicates that 
     the President should request funding for the FLAME funds so 
     that large or complex wildfire event activities are funded 
     adequately. The Act includes Sense of Congress statements 
     that: (1) future FLAME appropriations in excess of funds 
     needed for large or complex fires should be designated as 
     amounts necessary to meet emergency needs (section 502 
     (d)(2)(C)(i)); and (2) each Secretary should make a 
     supplemental budget request for wildfire suppression if their 
     FLAME fund will be exhausted in 30 days (section 502 
     (d)(2)(C)(ii)).
       The FLAME Act of 2009 retains many provisions of the Senate 
     recommendation and H.R. 1404. This includes the definitions 
     (section 502 (a)) and the authorization of such amounts as 
     are necessary to carry out the section (section 502 
     (d)(2)(A)). The Act retains the provision that funds are 
     available until expended (section 502 (d)(3)) and the 
     requirement that the Secretary notify the Congressional 
     Committees if the Secretary estimates that only 60 days of 
     funds remain in the respective FLAME fund (section 502 
     (d)(4)).
       As in the previous versions of the FLAME Act, the FLAME 
     funds cannot be used until the Secretary makes a declaration 
     that the wildfire event is large or complex, or that the 
     cumulative costs of suppression and Federal emergency 
     activities will exceed within 30 days all available funds 
     (section 502 (e)). The conferees expect the Agencies to 
     develop a streamlined declaration process that minimizes the 
     administrative burden and ensures that funding is made 
     available for eligible wildfire events in an expedited 
     manner.
       As in previous versions of the FLAME Act, the FLAME funds 
     may be used for State, private and Tribal land wildfire 
     suppression activities consistent with any existing 
     agreements (section 502 (e)(3)). The Act retains the 
     prohibition on transfers of non-fire funds for wildland fire 
     suppression unless amounts in the FLAME funds and all other 
     funds previously provided for wildland fire suppression will 
     be exhausted within 30 days (section 502 (g)). The Act 
     retains accounting and reporting requirements (section 502 
     (h)) and retains the requirement that estimates of wildfire 
     suppression costs be provided to the Congress in an orderly 
     fashion (section 502 (h)(3)).
       As in the Senate recommended version, the FLAME Act of 2009 
     includes a termination clause if no appropriations to, or 
     withdrawals from, each FLAME fund have been made for three 
     consecutive fiscal years (section 502 (i)). The conference 
     agreement includes an additional provision that if such 
     termination occurs, remaining funds in each FLAME fund shall 
     be transferred to and made a part of the Wildland Fire 
     Management appropriation account of that Secretary (section 
     502 (i)).
       Section 503. Cohesive Wildfire Management Strategy.--
     Section 503 consists of the requirement for the Secretaries 
     of Agriculture and the Interior to submit a joint report to 
     Congress within one year that contains a cohesive wildfire 
     management strategy consistent with recommendations described 
     in recent reports of the Government Accountability Office. 
     Nearly identical language was in the Senate recommended 
     section 432 and similar language was in section 3 of H.R. 
     1404.

                                                                                    INTERIOR AND ENVIRONMENT
