ACCRUAL FUNDING OF RETIREMENT COSTS AND POST-RETIREMENT HEALTH BENEFITS

    The President's Budget included a legislative proposal 
under the jurisdiction of the Senate Committee on Governmental 
Affairs to charge to individual agencies, starting in fiscal 
year 2003, the fully accrued costs related to retirement 
benefits of Civil Service Retirement System employees and 
retiree health benefits for all civilian employees. The Budget 
also requested an additional dollar amount in each affected 
discretionary account to cover these accrued costs.
    The authorizing committee has not acted on this 
legislation, therefore the Senate Appropriations Committee has 
reduced the dollar amounts of the President's request shown in 
the ``Comparative Statement of New Budget Authority Request and 
Amounts Recommended in the Bill'', as well as in other tables 
in this report, to exclude the accrual funding proposal.
    The Committee further notes that administration proposals 
requiring legislative action by the authorizing committees of 
Congress are customarily submitted in the budget as separate 
schedules apart from the regular appropriations requests. 
Should such a proposal be enacted, a budget amendment formally 
modifying the President's appropriation request for 
discretionary funding is subsequently transmitted to the 
Congress.
    The Senate Appropriations Committee joins with the House 
Appropriations Committee in raising concern that this practice, 
which has always worked effectively for both Congress and past 
administrations, was not followed for the accrual funding 
proposal. In this case, the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) decided to include accrual amounts in the original 
discretionary appropriations language request. These amounts 
are based on legislation that has yet to be considered and 
approved by the appropriate committees of Congress. This led to 
numerous misunderstandings both inside and outside of Congress 
of what was the ``true'' President's budget request. The 
Committee believes that, in the future, OMB should follow long-
established procedures with respect to discretionary spending 
proposals that require legislative action.

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

    Land resources.--The Committee recommends $179,857,000 for 
land resources, which is an increase of $2,300,000 above the 
request. Increases above the request include $300,000 for the 
Rio Puerco watershed project in New Mexico for a total of 
$700,000; $1,000,000 to continue work at the National Center 
for Ecologically-Based Noxious Weed Management at Montana State 
University, including work on treatments of burned over areas 
to prevent the spread of noxious weeds; $1,000,000 for the 
Idaho Department of Agriculture to provide coordination, 
facilitation, administrative support, and cost-shared weed 
control project funding to Cooperative Weed Management Areas.
    The Committee notes that the funding provided for land 
resources fully supports the budget request for noxious weed 
management. The projects funded above are over and above the 
request and should provide additional capability to the Bureau 
in its efforts to manage the serious problem of invasive weed 
control across all ownerships.
    The Committee is concerned that the Bureau retain its 
current level of support for the National Conservation Training 
Center, and directs that $500,000 shall be used for this 
purpose and made available to NCTC within 60 days of enactment.
    Wildlife and fisheries management.--The Committee 
recommends $33,755,000 for wildlife and fisheries management, 
which is equal to the request.
    Threatened and endangered species.--The Committee 
recommends $21,288,000 for threatened and endangered species 
management, which is equal to the request.
    Recreation management.--The Committee recommends 
$64,096,000 for recreation management, which is an increase of 
$1,400,000 above the request. Increases above the request are 
$1,000,000 to continue the Undaunted Stewardship program and 
$400,000 for operations at the Colorado Canyons National 
Conservation Area. To the extent that Bureau needs to allocate 
the additional funds provided for the NCA throughout the 
Management of Lands and Resources appropriation in order to 
accomplish the program of work at Colorado Canyons it may do so 
upon notification and consultation with the Committee.
    Energy and minerals management including Alaska minerals.--
The Committee has provided $106,341,000 for energy and minerals 
management, which is an increase of $1,500,000 above the 
request. The increase above the request is for the permitting, 
including supporting analysis, of geothermal energy 
applications and the processing of wind-energy rights-of-way in 
Nevada.
    The Committee has provided an additional $4,000,000 for the 
Alaska minerals program, which is an increase of $1,772,000 
above the request. The additional funding is for the minerals 
at risk program, which will complete this project.
    Realty and ownership management.--The Committee recommends 
$89,100,000 for realty and ownership management, which is an 
increase of $3,850,000 above the request. Increases above the 
request are $2,000,000 for the Alaska Conveyance program, and 
$1,850,000 for the cadastral survey program.
    The Committee is concerned about the failure of the Bureau 
to process applications under the Native Allotment Act of 1906 
in a timely manner. Some applications have been pending nearly 
a century while all applications have been pending for over 30 
years. The Committee has provided $2,000,000 in additional 
funding for the Alaska conveyance program, and directs that of 
the total amount provided for the program at least $15,000,000 
shall be for cadastral surveys. The Committee expects the 
Bureau to develop a plan to complete work on all allotment 
applications and all land selections under the Alaska Statehood 
Act of 1959 by 2009, 50 years after its enactment and nearly 40 
years after the deadline for applying for Native allotments.
    Within the funds provided by the Committee for the 
cadastral survey program, an additional $350,000 is for the 
State of Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center to continue 
work on a centralized GIS database of wilderness inventories, 
and $1,500,000 to continue work on a public lands survey and 
ownership database for the State of Alaska.
    Resource protection and maintenance.--The Committee 
recommends $76,977,000 for resource protection and maintenance, 
which is $750,000 above the request. The increase above the 
request is for the digitization and cataloging of the extensive 
collection of five combined Department of the Interior resource 
libraries in Alaska.
    Transportation and facilities maintenance.--The Committee 
recommends $79,458,000 for transportation and facilities 
maintenance, which is $1,500,000 above the request. Of this 
amount $29,028,000 shall be derived from the conservation 
category, which is equal to the request. Increases above the 
request are $500,000 to continue maintenance work on the 
Iditarod National Historic Trail, and $1,000,000 for the 
capping of oil wells in the National Petroleum Reserve to 
prevent leakage and oil spills into the environment.
    Land and information systems.--The Committee recommends 
$19,341,000 for land and information systems, which is equal to 
the request.
    Mining law administration.--The Committee recommends 
$32,696,000 for mining law administration, which is equal to 
the request.
    Workforce organization and support.--The Committee 
recommends $132,876,000 for workforce organization and support, 
which is equal to the request.
    Challenge cost share.--The Committee has provided 
$8,973,000 for the challenge cost share program, which is equal 
to the enacted level. The Committee has not provided funds for 
the Cooperative Conservation Initiative, but has funded the 
challenge cost share program at current levels which performs 
similar activities.
    General.--It has come to the Committee's attention that the 
Department has made little progress responding to direction 
included in last year's Conference Report urging the Department 
and its bureaus to begin utilizing battery pulse technology in 
vehicles and other equipment. The experience of the United 
States military has illustrated impressive cost savings and 
environmental benefits following the aggressive application of 
this technology to extend the service life of batteries. The 
Department is directed to evaluate the application of this 
technology within its bureaus and report back to the Committee 
within 90 days of enactment of this Act on the feasibility and 
benefits of the use of pulse technology for batteries.
    The Committee notes that the Bureau of Land Management's 
Preferred Alternative in the Final SEIS for the reclamation of 
the Zortman Landusky Mine near the Fort Belknap Reservation in 
Montana proposes additional funding of $33.5 million over the 
amount bonded for reclamation, including $11 million to ensure 
the water treatment facilities proposed in the alternative can 
be operated in perpetuity. The Committee believes that 
protecting water quality in the region should be a top priority 
for the BLM budget request for fiscal year 2004.

                        WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $678,421,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     653,754,000
Committee recommendation (including emergencies)........     654,254,000

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$654,254,000 for wildland fire management activities, which is 
$500,000 above the request.
    The Committee recommendation includes $277,213,000 for fire 
preparedness, which is equal to the request and $3,594,000 
below the enacted level.
    The Committee also recommends a total of $160,351,000 for 
fire suppression activities, which is equal to the request. Of 
this amount, $110,000,000 has been designated as emergency 
appropriations.
    The Committee's recommendation includes $216,690,000 for 
Other Fire Operations, which is $500,000 above the request. 
Within the amount provided, $186,690,000 is for hazardous fuels 
reduction, $20,000,000 is for burned area rehabilitation, and 
$10,000,000 is for rural fire assistance. The increase above 
the request is for the National Center for Landscape Fire 
Analysis at the University of Montana, for a total of 
$1,500,000 for the Bureau's share of this cooperative project.
    The Committee notes that it has more than fully funded the 
request for hazardous fuels reduction of $186,190,000 within 
the amounts provided. The Committee believes that reduction of 
fuel loads in areas adjacent to communities in the wildland-
urban interface is critical for protecting the public and that 
these areas should be a primary focus of the Department. 
Accordingly, the Committee directs the Department of the 
Interior to allocate the funding level proposed in the budget 
request of $111,255,000 on projects in the wildland-urban 
interface. If for any reason the Department is unable to attain 
the proposed levels, it shall promptly notify the Committee 
explaining why the Department was unable to expend such sums. 
The Committee recognizes the serious problem of deteriorating 
forest health as an underlying cause of wildland fire. A 
comprehensive approach to improving degraded forests and 
reducing the threat of wildfire includes forest restoration 
treatment. The Committee understands that the Ecological 
Restoration Institute in Flagstaff, Arizona provides research, 
application, development, and assistance to communities needed 
to implement landscape level treatments and improve forest 
health.

    The Committee has consistently supported the West Eugene 
Wetlands acquisition program over the years, and is aware that 
the Federal portion of the acquisition program is nearing 
completion. In order to properly conclude the project, however, 
certain issues regarding the status of lands in the project 
area must be resolved. Should these issues be resolved in a 
manner that warrants additional Federal acquisition support, 
the Committee will consider providing funding to complete the 
project.

    The Committee recommends $924,620,000 for resource 
management, $21,016,000 above the budget estimate. Within this 
account, $116,729,000 included for infrastructure improvement 
and $4,000,000 for the youth conservation corps are funded 
under the conservation spending category. The detail table at 
the back of the report displays the distribution of funds among 
the Service's activities. Changes to the budget estimate are 
detailed below.
    Ecological Services.--The Committee recommends $228,582,000 
for ecological services, an increase of $17,435,000 above the 
budget estimate. For the ecological services activity, the 
Committee recommends an increase of $6,635,000 for the 
endangered species subactivity. Within that increase, the 
Committee recommends $1,300,000 for candidate conservation, of 
which $150,000 is for the conservation of the burbot population 
in the Kootenai River, $400,000 is for continued funding of the 
Idaho Sage Grouse Management Plan through the Idaho Office of 
Species Conservation, $750,000 is for sea otter research in 
Alaska, and $50,000 is made available to the Idaho State 
Department of Agriculture to study the influence of herbivory 
on Slickspot Peppergrass within general program activities. The 
Committee recommends an increase of $923,000 in listing general 
programs. The Committee recommends an increase of $200,000 in 
consultation programs for the Central Valley and Southern 
California Habitat Conservation Plan. For recovery, the 
Committee recommends a net increase of $4,212,000, of which 
$2,000,000 is for Atlantic salmon recovery activities 
administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, 
$1,000,000 is for eider recovery work undertaken by the Alaska 
Sealife Center, $50,000 is for freshwater mussel recovery to be 
performed in conjunction with White Sulphur Springs NFH, 
$600,000 is for recovery of the Lahontan cutthroat trout, and 
$1,160,000 is for the wolf recovery program in the State of 
Idaho. Of the funds provided for wolf monitoring, $600,000 is 
for the Nez Perce Tribe, $100,000 is for the Snake River Basin 
Fish and Wildlife Service Office, and $460,000 is for the 
Office of Species Conservation. These funds are provided in 
lieu of funds the Service proposed for wolf monitoring in the 
request. The Peregrine Fund should be funded at $400,000 in 
fiscal year 2003.
    The Committee is aware of efforts to prevent the Salt Creek 
Tiger beetle from being listed as an endangered species. The 
Committee encourages the Service to support these endeavors.
    Habitat Conservation.--The Committee recommends $85,423,000 
for habitat conservation, an increase of $10,800,000 over the 
budget request. Changes recommended for habitat conservation 
programs include an increase of $9,600,000 for the Partners for 
Fish and Wildlife Program, of which $200,000 is for bald eagle 
restoration performed in cooperation with the Vermont Natural 
Heritage Partners program, $500,000 is for the Big Hole 
Watershed Committee, $600,000 is for Columbia River Estuary 
Research, $1,000,000 is for the Hawaii Endangered Species Act 
Community Conservation Plan, $1,450,000 is for the Nevada 
Biodiversity Research and Conservation Project, $250,000 is for 
the Thunder Basin Grasslands Initiative, $500,000 is for the 
Montana Water Center for the Wild Fish Habitat Initiative, 
$1,400,000 is for Washington State regional salmon enhancement, 
and $1,000,000 is for general program activities. Also within 
the $9,600,000 increase provided for the Partners program, 
$2,700,000 is provided for invasive species control efforts in 
the State of Hawaii, Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, and 
Willapa Bay. An additional $400,000 is also provided through 
refuge operations to eradicate spartina at Willapa NWR. The 
Committee encourages the Service to address the growing problem 
of invasive species in its fiscal year 2004 budget request. In 
project planning, the Committee recommends an increase of 
$200,000 for the Middle Rio Grande (Bosque) Research program. 
The Committee also recommends an increase of $1,000,000 for the 
Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association through coastal programs. 
The Committee recommends the budget request for environmental 
contaminants.
    The Committee is concerned by reports that participation of 
the Fish and Wildlife Service in the Chesapeake Bay Program has 
diminished over the past decade. The Committee expects the 
Service to develop and submit to the Committee by April 1, 
2003, an action plan to increase support for meeting the living 
resource, habitat restoration and education goals of the 
Chesapeake Bay Program.
    Refuges and wildlife.--The Committee recommends 
$459,692,000 for refuges and wildlife, an increase of 
$2,975,000 above the budget estimate. The Committee notes that, 
within refuges and wildlife, $112,729,000 has been funded out 
of the conservation spending category. Within the funds 
designated as conservation, $106,729,000 is funded under 
infrastructure improvement for refuge maintenance, $2,000,000 
is funded under infrastructure improvement for law enforcement, 
and $4,000,000 is provided for the youth conservation corps.
    The Committee has recommended the full increase, 
$56,517,000, for the national wildlife refuge system proposed 
in the budget request in recognition of the upcoming refuge 
system centennial. However, the $5,000,000 included in the 
budget request for the Cooperative Conservation Initiative is 
devoted to the refuge cost share program.
    The Committee recognizes the agreement reached by the Fish 
and Wildlife Service, the State of California, and a private 
landowner for the purchase of salt ponds in the San Francisco 
Bay area for inclusion in the Don Edwards National Wildlife 
Refuge. The Committee urges the Fish and Wildlife Service to 
allocate resources to provide for maintenance and operations 
associated with the refuge's increased size.
    A total of $998,000, the budget estimate, is recommended to 
continue the Salton Sea recovery program, contingent on 
matching funds from the State of California. The Committee does 
not object to including this program in the regular operations 
account in fiscal year 2004 and beyond.
    In migratory bird management, the Committee recommends an 
increase of $575,000 for continued seabird bycatch reduction. 
Due to funding constraints, the Committee was unable to provide 
an increase above the request for the North American Waterfowl 
Management Plans. The Committee agrees to the following 
distribution of funds for joint ventures:

    The Committee provides the budget request for law 
enforcement.
    The Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall, 
within 180 days of the enactment of this Act, report to the 
Committee on Appropriations on the current availability of 
recreational air access to the Charles M. Russell National 
Wildlife Refuge, the history of such access over the life of 
the refuge, and alternatives for the enhancement of such access 
in a manner consistent with refuge purposes. Such report shall 
specifically address the possibility of providing access to the 
Slippery Ann and Sand Creek airstrip, as well as other 
alternatives. The Director shall consult with the Montana 
Pilots Association and other interested stakeholders in 
preparing the report.
    Fisheries.--The Committee recommends $107,734,000 for 
fisheries, $12,971,000 more than the budget request. The 
recommendation includes $8,000,000 for hatchery infrastructure 
improvement as part of the conservation spending category.
    For hatchery operations and maintenance, the Committee 
recommends $55,952,000, which includes an increase of 
$2,000,000 for hatchery operations and an increase of 
$4,000,000 for hatchery maintenance. The Committee notes that, 
while it has restored the cut to hatchery general operations, 
the Service should pursue cost recovery opportunities outlined 
in the plan for achieving the proposed budget reduction. Any 
savings realized from these measures should be used to address 
the many unmet needs of the hatchery system. Within the funds 
provided for hatcheries, the Committee expects the Service to 
address the needs at the Pittsford National Fish Hatchery and 
the Ouray National Fish Hatchery.
    The Committee encourages the Service to articulate a 
coherent long-term plan for the hatchery system in the fiscal 
year 2004 budget, incorporating the numerous reviews completed 
over the past several years, including the Sport Fishing and 
Boating Partnership Council report.
    The Committee recommends $51,782,000 for fish and wildlife 
management, an increase of $6,971,000 over the request. The 
Committee has provided the budget request for anadromous fish 
management, $5,771,000 above the request for fish and wildlife 
assistance, and $1,200,000 above the request for marine 
mammals. Within the increase provided for fish and wildlife 
assistance, $400,000 is provided for fish passage improvements 
along railroads in Alaska, $118,000 is for fish surveys in West 
Virginia to be performed in conjunction with White Sulphur 
Springs NFH, $500,000 is for the Great Lakes fish and wildlife 
restoration program, $850,000 is for continued wildlife 
enhancement in Starkville, Mississippi, $500,000 is for the 
wildlife health center in Montana, and $3,403,000 is for Yukon 
River Treaty implementation (for a total of $4,000,000 devoted 
to Yukon River Treaty implementation). Within the fish and 
wildlife assistance program, $2,246,000 is provided for 
continuation of activities begun in fiscal year 1997 to combat 
whirling disease and related fish health issues. Within the 
amount provided, $950,000 is for the National Partnership on 
the Management of Wild and Native Coldwater Fisheries, and 
$1,296,000 is provided to continue the National Wild Fish 
Health Survey, expand whirling disease investigations, and 
recruit and train health professionals. In marine mammals, 
$1,200,000 is provided above the request for continued marine 
mammal protection in Alaska.
    General Administration.--The Committee recommends 
$128,612,000 for general administration, a decrease of 
$12,365,000 below the budget request. Within the funds 
provided, the Committee recommends an increase of $35,000 above 
the request for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation as 
well as an increase of $50,000 for training needs at the 
National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) and a $550,000 
increase for maintenance at NCTC. The Committee directs the 
Service to evaluate the NCTC maintenance budget as to whether 
it sufficiently meets Federal Facilities Council standards for 
routine maintenance and repair of a facility of its size and 
scope. Within funds available for NCTC, up to $5,000 is 
recommended to help defray the costs for civic and community 
groups using the facility provided community use does not 
conflict with that of service and other departmental groups.
    The Committee is also concerned that training courses 
offered at NCTC have decreased by more than 20 percent at a 
time when studies point to the need for additional training and 
the service is completing construction of a new lodge that will 
only increase the demand for additional offerings.
    The Committee has not funded the Cooperative Conservation 
Initiative. While the Committee recognizes the value of 
cooperative partnerships in conservation, it cannot justify the 
establishment of another grant program when so many existing 
needs are not met.
    Administrative Provisions.--The Committee has included 
language regarding the Great Salt Pond.

    The Alaska region is directed to evaluate whether 
additional public use cabins are needed in the Kenai National 
Wildlife Refuge given the huge increase in visitation it is 
experiencing. This evaluation should make recommendations on 
the need for public use cabins and identify alternatives for 
funding including the use of concessionaires.
    Bill language.--The Committee has provided the authority 
for the Service to contract for the full scope of constructing 
a visitor center at Kodiak NWR in hopes this will save the 
Service money in the long term.

                            LAND ACQUISITION

    The Committee recommends $89,055,000, $18,671,000 above the 
budget request for FWS land acquisition. The land acquisition 
program is funded through the conservation spending category.
    The following table shows the Committee's recommendations:

      Total, FWS Land Acquisition.......................      89,055,000

    The Committee recognizes the Service's efforts to reform 
acquisition management and has provided $10,000,000 for this 
activity, which reflects the actual acquisition management 
costs for the division of realty.
    Within funds available for land acquisition, the Service 
should provide for survey and related costs at Canaan Valley 
National Wildlife Refuge associated with the recent land 
purchase.
    The funds provided for the Rhode Island Refuge Complex 
should be spent at Ninigret NWR, John H. Chafee NWR, and 
Sachuest NWR.

                      LANDOWNER INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $40,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      50,000,000
Committee recommendation................................         600,000

    The Committee has provided $600,000 for the Landowner 
Incentive program (LIP) primarily to cover residual expenses 
incurred in the distribution of fiscal year 2002 funds. A 
portion of these funds may be used to study the program's 
effectiveness and to determine the most appropriate funding 
level in the context of the other conservation grant programs 
available through the Service. The Service should produce a 
comprehensive comparison of its grant programs in the fiscal 
year 2004 budget justification so the Committee can better 
understand the differences between the existing programs and 
their individual purposes.
    LIP was established in fiscal year 2002 to provide 
competitive matching grants to States, territories, and tribes 
for assistance to landowners in protecting imperiled species 
and funded with a $40,000,000 appropriation. Unfortunately the 
Service did not publish the Federal Register notice for this 
program until June 7, 2002, more than 8 months after enactment 
of the fiscal year 2002 appropriation bill. This significant 
delay is unacceptable to the Committee. While the Committee 
appreciates the Service's attempt to involve States and other 
stakeholders in the development of LIP, this consultation 
should have occurred prior to the program's proposal. The 
Committee cannot justify providing additional funds for grants 
in fiscal year 2003, when the fiscal year 2002 grants process 
was initiated at such a late date, and obligation may not occur 
during this fiscal year.

                           STEWARDSHIP GRANTS

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $10,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      10,000,000
Committee recommendation................................         200,000

    The Committee recommends $200,000 for Private Stewardship 
grants, which are competitive awards made directly to 
individuals and groups involved in endangered species recovery 
efforts on private lands. Similar to the Landowner Incentive 
Program, the Committee cannot provide a large appropriation for 
an untested program only recently announced in the Federal 
Register on June 7, 2002. Since no grants have been made, the 
Committee cannot determine the effectiveness of this 
conservation measure and, therefore, has only provided a 
nominal sum for remaining costs incurred in the fiscal year 
2002 cycle and evaluation of the program.

            COOPERATIVE ENDANGERED SPECIES CONSERVATION FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $96,235,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      91,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      99,400,000

    The Committee recommends $99,400,000 for the Cooperative 
Endangered Species Fund, an increase of $8,400,000 above the 
budget request, of which $3,000,000 is for administration and 
$64,471,000 is for habitat conservation plan land acquisition. 
This program is funded under the conservation spending 
category. The Committee has not derived this program from the 
land and water conservation fund, as proposed in the budget 
request.

                     NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $14,414,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      14,414,000
Committee recommendation................................      14,414,000

    The Committee recommends $14,414,000 for the National 
Wildlife Refuge fund, the same as the budget request.

               NORTH AMERICAN WETLANDS CONSERVATION FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $43,500,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      43,560,000
Committee recommendation................................      43,560,000

    The Committee recommends $43,560,000 for the North American 
Wetlands Conservation Fund, the same as the budget request. 
This program is funded under the conservation spending 
category.

                NEOTROPICAL MIGRATORY BIRD CONSERVATION

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $3,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................................
Committee recommendation................................       3,000,000

    The Committee recommends $3,000,000 for the Neotropical 
Migratory Bird Conservation program, instead of transferring 
$1,000,000 for neotropical bird conservation to the 
multinational species fund as proposed in the request. As in 
fiscal year 2002, the Committee expects the Service's Division 
of Bird Habitat Conservation to administer this program. The 
Division of Bird Habitat Conservation should solicit 
significant input from the international program staff, 
utilizing their expertise.

                MULTINATIONAL SPECIES CONSERVATION FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $4,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       5,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       5,500,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,500,000 for 
the multinational species conservation fund, an increase of 
$500,000 above the budget estimate. The increase is provided 
for rhinoceros and tiger conservation.

                       STATE WILDLIFE GRANTS FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $60,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      60,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      60,000,000

    The Committee recommends $60,000,000 for the State and 
Tribal Wildlife grant program. Of the $60,000,000 provided, 
$5,000,000 is provided for tribal grants. The Committee 
believes there are opportunities to develop synergies between 
the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants program and the State 
Assistance program funded through the National Park Service. 
The Committee has addressed this issue in the National Park 
Service, Land Acquisition and State Assistance section of the 
report.

                         National Park Service


                 OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $1,487,075,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   1,584,565,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,585,065,000

    The Committee recommends $1,585,065,000 for operation of 
the national park system, an increase of $97,990,000 above the 
fiscal year 2002 enacted level, and $500,000 above the budget 
request. Increases above the current enacted level include 
$16,466,000 in fixed costs, and an overall increase of 
$20,000,000 in basic park operations. The Committee is aware of 
the unmet needs in many our nation's parks and has included the 
additional $20,000,000 in an effort to address those needs.
    The following table shows the amounts recommended by the 
Committee as compared with the budget request:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                   Committee

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

    Resource Stewardship.--The Committee recommends 
$340,227,000 for resource stewardship, an increase of 
$21,915,000 above the fiscal year 2002 enacted level, and 
$5,304,000 above the budget request. Within the amount 
provided, $600,000 is for additional funding for the Vanishing 
Treasures program, and $500,000 is to be made available to the 
Klondike Goldrush National Park for the acquisition of the 
Rapuzzi historic gold rush collection.
    Visitor Services.--The Committee recommends $319,128,000 
for visitor services, an increase of $22,037,000 over the 
fiscal year 2002 enacted level, and $9,447,000 above the budget 
request.
    Facility Operations and Maintenance.--The Committee 
recommends $537,823,000 in facility operations and maintenance, 
an increase of $56,622,000 above the fiscal year 2002 enacted 
level, and $6,395,000 above the budget request. Within the 
amounts provided, there is an increase of $2,000,000 above the 
budget request for activities of the Youth Conservation Corps. 
In addition, the Committee expects the National Park Service to 
meet its responsibilities under the Assateague Island 
Restoration Project, and to make the required funds available 
in fiscal year 2003 to match the contribution by the Army Corps 
of Engineers. Finally, the Committee expects the Service to 
continue its current level of support for the New River Gorge 
Parkway Authority for technical advice and maintenance 
activities on the parkway.
    Park Support.--The Committee recommends $279,651,000 for 
park support, an increase of $4,626,000 above the fiscal year 
2002 level, and a decrease of $20,646,000 below the budget 
request. Increases above the request include $854,000 in park 
management, and $500,000 for the Volunteer in the Parks 
program. The decrease of $22,000,000 in cooperative programs 
reflects the decision of the Committee to utilize all available 
resources in support of an overall increase in basic park 
operations as opposed to the more limited scope contained in 
the budget request. The amount provided continues the Lewis and 
Clark challenge cost share at the request level.
    External administrative costs.--The Committee recommends 
$108,236,000 for external administrative costs, an increase of 
$2,888,000 above the fiscal year 2002 enacted level, and fully 
commensurate with the budget request.
    General.--The Going to the Sun Road provides close to 2 
million visitors annually with an unparalleled opportunity to 
experience the wonders of Glacier National Park. Age and 
neglect have taken a toll, however, and the threat of 
catastrophic road failure looms if steps are not taken to 
reconstruct significant portions of the historic road. The 
Committee is aware that the National Park Service has drafted 
an Environmental Impact Statement that assesses road 
reconstruction options, and directs the Service to devote the 
resources necessary to complete the EIS in a timely fashion so 
that reconstruction work can begin promptly. In developing the 
Record of Decision, the Service should be mindful of the input 
provided by the Going to the Sun Road Advisory Committee.
    Whichever alternative is selected in the Record of 
Decision, significant additional resources will be required to 
rehabilitate the road consistent with the Park's General 
Management Plan. The Committee strongly urges the 
Administration to anticipate these needs in developing its 
proposal for the reauthorization of the transportation bill. 
The Committee further urges the Service to pursue aggressive 
completion of road rehabilitation work for which planning has 
already been done, and which will need to be performed 
regardless of the alternative selected in the Record of 
Decision. The Committee understands that there is at least 
$11,000,000 of such work ready for execution in fiscal year 
2003. The Committee has included a general provision in this 
title authorizing the use of certain unobligated carryover 
funds to accomplish rehabilitation work.
    While the long term reconstruction of the Going to the Sun 
Road has been the recent focus of park planners, the Committee 
remains concerned about the ongoing operation of the Road 
itself. In addition to being the principle route used by 
visitors to experience the Park, the Road is vitally important 
to the health of the communities in and around the Park that 
serve those visitors. In that regard, the opening of the Road 
each spring is a much anticipated event in these communities. 
The Committee is concerned that the Park may not be placing 
adequate emphasis on opening the road in a timely manner each 
year. While snow conditions and plow crew safety must remain 
primary considerations in determining the road's opening date, 
the Committee recommends that the Service undertake a review to 
determine if options exist to facilitate an earlier opening 
date and to maximize the window during which the road is open. 
The Committee understands, while new snow removal equipment has 
been acquired in recent years, the current policy may be 
antiquated and does not fully utilize current technological and 
safety advances used by organizations working in similar, 
extreme environments. This review should be performed in 
cooperation with local entities, and should result in a written 
policy that articulates the Park's road-clearing strategy and 
offers alternatives for enhancing road-clearing performance. 
Options explored should include contracting portions of the 
work to expand the work week or seeking aid from other entities 
with snow removal duties. The results of this review should be 
provided to the Committee by March 15, 2003.
    Within the funds provided for ONPS, the Committee expects 
the National Park Service to continue to provide at least 
$500,000, the current level of support, to the National 
Conservation Training Center.
    In the year 2003, the centennial of the Wright brothers' 
first flight, national and international attention will focus 
on the two national parks that tell the story of the Wright 
brothers. The Dayton Aviation Heritage Park, which was first 
created in 1992, honors the contributions of the Wright 
brothers. The only Wright brothers' bicycle shop that remains 
on its original site, the Wright brothers' print shop, the 1905 
Wright flyer, and the Huffman Prairie Flying Field are all 
located at this park. The Committee recognizes the importance 
of the centennial of flight celebration and has fully funded 
the budget request for operating funds at the Dayton Aviation 
Heritage National Historic Park and the Wright Brothers 
National Memorial.

Park Police, a decrease of $12,124,000 below the fiscal year 
2002 enacted level, and fully commensurate with the budget 
request. The decrease below the enacted level is attributable 
to one-time security costs provided as a result of the 
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

natural programs, and increase of $518,000 above the fiscal 
year 2002 enacted level, and $500,000 above the budget request. 
The increase above the request is provided for Rivers, Trails 
and Conservation Assistance, and includes and increase of 
$250,000 for the Northern Forest Canoe trail. Within the Rivers

for cultural programs, a decrease of $1,021,000 from the fiscal 
year 2002 enacted level, but fully commensurate with the budget 
request. Within available funds, the Service is directed to 
provide $100,000 to the National Park Service's Southeastern 
Archeological Center to conduct a cultural study of the

    Funds provided for the Pacific Coast Immigration Station 
and the Japanese American History project at the Presidio are 
for completion of ongoing planning and feasibility studies. All 
funding for actual construction (estimated at $7,200,000) will 
need to be raised through partnerships with the private and 
non-profit sectors.
    Funding has been provided for the Grand Portage Heritage 
Center at the Grand Portage National Monument. The Committee is 
aware that initial planning and design has been completed. 
Nevertheless, the Committee urges the National Park Service to 
rethink the size and scope of the Grand Portage project and 
work to downsize the effort.
    The funds provided for the Eaker Site National Historic 
Landmark are for planning and design of an integrated visitor 
center, research station and curatorial facility consistent 
with the recommendations contained in the May 18, 2001 report 
issued by the National Park Service. The Committee notes that 
the provision of funds for this purpose does not imply a 
commitment of future Federal funds for construction of the 
facility, and that planning efforts should explore 
opportunities for non-Federal cost share as well as additional 
authorities that may be required for any future Federal 
involvement.
    Within the amounts provided for equipment replacement, not 
to exceed $750,000 is to be provided to the Isle Royal National 
Park for the acquisition of replacement boats.
    Within the increases provided for general management 
planning, the Service is directed to allocate $490,000 for the 
continuation of the GMP at the Harpers Ferry National 
Historical Park, and $150,000 for special resource studies of 
the Baranof Museum and the historic sites in Beaufort, South 
Carolina. Funding for these studies is contingent upon 
enactment of authorization legislation.
    The Committee has provided additional funds for 
construction of the Morris Thomson Visitor and Native Cultural 
Center, but is concerned that the scope of the project has not 
yet been fully defined. The funds provided for construction 
should not be released until the Service and the non-Federal 
cooperators have briefed the Committee regarding project scope 
and plans to comply with the requirements of H. Rept. 107-234.

    The Committee recommends a rescission of $30,000,000 in 
annual contract authority provided by 16 U.S.C. 460l-10a. This 
authority has not been used in recent years and there are no 
plans to use it in fiscal year 2002.

    The Committee recommends $238,205,000 for land acquisition 
and State assistance, a reduction of $47,852,000 below the 
budget request. The land acquisition program is funded through 
the conservation spending category.
    The following table shows the Committee recommendation:

      Total, NPS Land Acquisition and State Assistance..     238,205,000

    The amount provided for the acquisition of Cat Island at 
the Gulf Island National Seashore is based on the latest 
information available to the Committee regarding the acreage 
and value of lands to be acquired. The Committee is aware that 
discussions are ongoing among the National Park Service, the 
landowner and third party interests, and that the amount 
required to complete phase two of this acquisition may change. 
The Service should keep the Committee informed of the status of 
these discussions.
    The Committee recognizes the historical importance of the 
Elkhorn Ranch in western North Dakota, and understands that the 
National Park Service is issuing an Environmental Assessment 
(EA) concerning the purchase of this land for use as a National 
Preserve. The EA is currently being drafted with a target 
completion date of August 30, 2002. Should the NPS recommend 
the purchase of the Elkhorn Ranch, the Committee will consider 
funding for this purchase.
    The Committee is aware that legislation is pending to 
authorize the acquisition of Pemberton's Headquarters for 
inclusion in Vicksburg National Military Park. Should such 
legislation be enacted, the Committee directs the Service to 
complete the acquisition using acquisition balances available 
at the Park, together with additional carryover balances if 
necessary.
    The Committee has provided $200,000 to purchase the 
interpretive center at Cross Plains along the Ice Age Scenic 
Trail. The Committee understands that this amount combined with 
the current unobligated balance is sufficient to complete the 
purchase.
    The Committee authorizes the purchase of land from willing 
sellers under the Inholding program of the National Park 
Service (Units of the System authorized before fiscal year 
1960) without referring the offers to the Committee for 
approval unless the acquisition is more than the approved 
appraisal and said appraised value is greater than $500,000.
    In addition to the amount provided for State Assistance, 
the Committee has provided significant funding for State and 
Tribal Wildlife Grants through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service. The Committee believes that these two programs can be 
mutually beneficial, as grants supported by the State 
Assistance program may be beneficial to non-game wildlife and 
grants supported by the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants 
program may have associated recreation benefits. The Committee 
urges the Department to work with States, tribes and other 
relevant stakeholders to explore opportunities to develop 
synergies between these two programs.

                          ENERGY AND MINERALS


                         U.S. Geological Survey


                 SURVEYS, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESEARCH

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $914,002,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     867,338,000
Committee recommendation................................     926,667,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $926,667,000 
for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) for fiscal year 
2003. This amount is $12,665,000 above the current year enacted 
level and $59,329,000 above the budget estimate. The detail 
table at the back of the report displays the Committee's 
proposed distribution of funds among the Survey's activities.
    The Committee is dismayed that the budget estimate for the 
USGS once again recommends large reductions to valuable ongoing 
programs. Proposals such as the elimination of the Toxic 
Substances Hydrology program, a significant reduction to the 
National Water-Quality Assessment program (NAWQA), and the 
elimination of Federal funding for the Water Resources Research 
Institutes are but a few of the recommendations included in the 
budget estimate. The Committee does not agree to the 
termination or weakening of programs for which there is strong 
support from a broad constituency, and a demonstrated value 
through the significant amount of non-Federal funds that are 
leveraged through most USGS programs. In the Committee's view, 
it will remain difficult to find the resources to support new 
directions for the Survey as long as the annual need to restore 
large amounts to base programs continues. As budget planning 
gets underway for fiscal year 2004, the Committee urges those 
involved in the process to bear in mind the expressed public 
support across the United States for the Survey's programs.
    National Mapping Program.--The Committee recommends 
$131,077,000 for the National Mapping Program, a decrease of 
$2,200,000 from the current year enacted level and $1,783,000 
above the budget estimate. Funds are restored in the amount of 
$809,000 for the urban dynamics program. An amount of 
$1,000,000 is provided for the Alaska mapping activities, of 
which $500,000 is designated for the North Slope project 
described in the budget. An additional $500,000 is provided for 
an Alaska Mapping Initiative that will be undertaken in other 
areas of the state.
    Geologic hazards, resources and processes.--The Committee 
recommends $238,653,000 for the geologic hazards, resources and 
processes activity. This amount is an increase of $5,843,000 
above the enacted level and $13,997,000 above the budget 
estimate. The Committee recommendation includes a transfer of 
$4,000,000 from the National Park Service to support a Critical 
Ecosystems Initiative in the Everglades, and $500,000 for 
geothermal resource assessments, as proposed in the budget 
estimate. The budget request for $1,200,000 for oil and gas 
assessments has not been included because the work can be 
accomplished within current funding levels. The Committee does 
not agree with many of the program reductions assumed in the 
budget request and has restored the following: $5,987,000 for 
the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping program; $500,000 for 
the Central Great Lakes Geological Mapping Coalition, $500,000 
to continue coastal erosion studies in North Carolina; $500,000 
to continue land subsidence studies in southeastern Louisiana; 
$1,300,000 for regional aggregate materials projects; 
$1,500,000 to complete the Alaska Minerals-at-Risk project; 
$750,000 for the minerals information team; and $474,000 for 
geological surveys of the Yukon Flats. The Committee has also 
restored $1,000,000 for the purchase and installation of 
volcano monitoring equipment at Shemya, AK, and provided a 
$1,000,000 increase to expand this program. In agreement with 
the budget request, the following programs are continued within 
base funds: $1,250,000 for South Carolina/Georgia Coastal 
Erosion and Coastal Monitoring Studies, of which $250,000 is 
intended for the South Carolina coastal erosion monitoring 
program; $3,000,000 for operations of the Alaska Volcano 
Observatory; and $250,000 for the cooperative program at the 
University of Hawaii-Hilo. Within the coastal program, over 
$4,000,000 is dedicated specifically to research efforts in the 
Gulf of Mexico.
    Water resources investigations.--The Committee recommends 
$209,626,000 for water resources investigations. This amount is 
$3,800,000 above the current year enacted level and $31,798,000 
above the budget estimate. The Committee does not concur with 
the proposed reductions and has restored programmatic funds as 
follows: $5,796,000 for the NAWQA program; $13,919,000 for the 
Toxic Substances Hydrology program, which was proposed for 
elimination in its current form; $2,096,000 for streamgaging 
activities; $6,000,000 to restore the Water Resources Research 
Institutes program, which was proposed for elimination; 
$200,000 for a study of extremophilic life in the Berkeley Pit 
Lake; $299,000 for toxic materials studies at Lake Champlain, 
making the total available for this project $485,000; $450,000 
for monitoring water resources in Hawaii; and $195,000 for the 
Noyes Slough study. In agreement with the budget request, 
$1,000,000 is included to initiate a United States-Mexico 
border health initiative. Other increases to the budget 
estimate include: $220,000 for a cladophora bloom algae study 
in coastal Maui; $500,000 for the Community Rivers Coalition 
watershed protection project; and $500,000 for the Rathdrum 
Prairie/Spokane Valley aquifer study. The Committee understands 
that a State or local match for the Federal contributions will 
be provided for both the Alaska and Idaho/Washington projects. 
Within the funds restored for the Toxic Substances Hydrology 
program, $500,000 is continued for the Gulf Hypoxia project. 
Additionally, the Committee continues the direction that allows 
for up to $1,000,000 to be expended for the Survey's 
participation in the work of the Long-Term Estuary Assessment 
Group.
    Biological Resources.--The Committee recommends 
$172,227,000 for Biological Resources. This amount is 
$5,838,000 above the current year enacted level and $11,746,000 
above the budget estimate. The Committee does not agree with 
many of the reductions proposed in the budget estimate and has 
restored the following: $2,800,000 for fire science research; 
$500,000 for amphibian research, $750,000 to continue a mining 
study on the Mark Twain National Forest in cooperation with the 
Water Resources activity and the Forest Service; $180,000 for 
Yukon River Chum Salmon research; and $400,000 to continue 
molecular biology studies at the Leetown Science Center. An 
amount of $500,000 is included for a Pallid Sturgeon study; 
this study is funded currently at $300,000, but was proposed 
for elimination. An amount of $100,000 is included for 
continuation of the Diamondback Terrapin study, currently 
funded at $250,000 and also proposed for elimination in the 
budget request. Other increases above the budget request 
include: $3,000,000 for the National Biological Information 
Infrastructure; $1,000,000 for a DNA bear sampling study in 
Montana; $300,000 for a multidisciplinary water resources study 
to be conducted at the Leetown Science Center; and $1,000,000 
for additional work at Lake Tahoe, which will include $500,000 
for a decision support system, and $500,000 to initiate the 
process for a place-based study. The Committee notes the 
interest that has been expressed in establishing additional 
State cooperative research units and, therefore, directs the 
Survey to develop a priority system for expanding the current 
program.
    Science Support.--The Committee recommends $85,734,000 for 
science support activities. This amount is $521,000 below the 
current year enacted level and $370,000 below the budget 
request. Changes to the budget request include decreases of 
$1,625,000 for accessible data transfer work and $1,000,000 for 
the Enterprise GIS proposal.
    Facilities.--The Committee recommends $89,350,000 for 
facilities costs. This amount is $95,000 below the current year 
enacted level and $375,000 above the budget request. The 
proposed increase to the budget estimate is provided to the 
Leetown Science Center for planning and design of much needed 
additional space at the facility.
    General.--The Committee has concurred with proposed budget 
increases for fixed costs and reductions to travel costs 
throughout USGS activities. Other streamlining savings proposed 
in the budget request have not been assumed because no 
additional information was provided to assure the Committee 
that savings would not be gained by reducing programmatic 
activities.
    The Committee urges the Survey, in conjunction with other 
agencies of the Department, to work with Alaska educators in 
developing a science initiative that could involve school 
children in the Earth and life sciences programs of the 
Department of the Interior.

    Within the funds for the leasing and environmental program 
in the Outer Continental Shelf lands activity, the Committee 
has provided $150,000 for the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission 
to ensure that proposed OCS sales in Alaska properly consider 
the impacts of offshore drilling on whale migration patterns 
and whaling activities.
    The Committee has provided an increase of $1,600,000 above 
the budget request for the resource evaluation program in the 
Outer Continental Shelf lands activity. The increase is 
comprised of $800,000 for the Center for Marine Resources and 
Environmental Technology to support exploration and sustainable 
development of seabed minerals and $800,000 for the Marine 
Mineral Technology Center in Alaska to conduct assessments on 
potential gold reserves off the coast of Nome.
    Within the funds provided for the regulatory program in the 
Outer Continental Shelf lands activity, $1,400,000 shall be for 
the Offshore Technology Research Center to perform research for 
MMS through the cooperative agreement dated June 18, 1999.
    The Committee has continued bill language that was included 
in the fiscal year 2002 appropriations act under general 
provisions, Department of the Interior to prohibit the use of 
funds for Outer Continental Shelf leasing and development in 
certain areas.
    The Committee understands that the process of projecting 
offsetting receipts 1 to 2 years into the future is an 
uncertain business. Recognizing this, the Committee has again 
given the Minerals Management Service the authority to utilize 
receipts accruing from rental rates in effect prior to August 
5, 1993 to augment primary sources of receipts should this be 
necessary to reach the operating levels intended by the 
Committee.

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

    The Committee has included $10,000,000 for the Appalachian 
clean streams initiative to address acid mine drainage 
problems.
    The Committee remains concerned about the $6,800,000,000 
backlog of high priority mine reclamation work that must be 
completed throughout the Nation. Accordingly, the Committee has 
restored $17,710,000 of the reduction the administration 
proposed for the abandoned mine reclamation program within the 
environmental restoration activity. The increase is comprised 
of $17,500,000 for State grants and $210,000 for Federal high 
priority reclamation projects.
    Bill language.--As in prior years, the bill includes 
language related to the conduct of the abandoned mine land 
program. The Committee has included language that maintains the 
Federal emergency reclamation program and limits expenditures 
in any one State to 25 percent of the total appropriated for 
Federal and State-run emergency programs. Language also is 
included in the bill to permit States to use prior-year 
carryover funds from the emergency program without being 
subject to the 25-percent statutory limitation per State. The 
Committee also has recommended language in the bill which would 
fund minimum program State grants at $1,500,000 per State as 
well as language which provides $10,000,000 to be used for 
projects in the Appalachian clean streams initiative.
    The Committee also has included language specific to the 
State of Maryland authorizing the State to set aside the 
greater of $1,000,000 or 10 percent of the total of the grants 
made available to the State under title IV of the Surface 
Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, subject to specific 
provisions identified in the bill language.

child welfare study, $1,000,000 for the Alaska Native Aviation 
Training program, and $1,000,000 for continuation of work on 
the Yuut Elitnauviat People's Learning Center. Funding for the 
aviation training program and the Learning Center is contingent 
upon compliance with the reporting requirements mandated in 
House Report 107-234 and Senate Report 107-36, respectively. 
Funding is provided to the Bureau to formulate and pilot an 
American Indian and Alaska Native child abuse/child welfare 
program which addresses the adverse effects of child abuse on 
American Indians and Alaska Natives. In developing the program, 
the Bureau is instructed to consult with tribes and social 
service agencies to identify communities willing to participate 
in the development of and execution of a pilot project aimed at 
reducing child abuse and addressing the effects of child abuse. 
The Committee is aware of interest expressed by the Oglala 
Sioux Tribe and the Alaska Children's Alliance. The Committee 
recommends that the Bureau strongly consider utilizing 
partnerships with these entities, other tribal organizations, 
State social services and/or non-profit agencies for execution 
of the program.
    General.--The Committee directs the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs to establish a Tribal Service Area for the Samish 
Indian Nation consistent with the tribe's existing Tribal 
Service Area for services provided by the Indian Health 
Service. When the service area is completed, the Samish Indian 
Nation shall be included in the Bureau's budget for services 
and programs offered to Samish tribal members, in addition to 
the tribe's existing funding for ``Other Aid to Tribal 
Government.'' The Committee directs the Secretary to report to 
the Congress within 60 days of enactment of this Act on the 
status of the actions taken in regard to the Samish Indian 
Nation.
    Fractionated ownership of trust assets continues to be one 
of the primary hurdles to implementing effective trust 
management within BIA. Consolidating these fractionated 
interests is one of the most effective means of ameliorating a 
problem that grows worse every year. The Indian Land 
Consolidation Pilot has been successful on those few 
reservations where it has been implemented. No additional funds 
were requested for fiscal year 2003 because of past years' 
unexpended balances being carried over. Not later than 
September 30, 2003, the Department should report to the 
Congress on the obstacles that are preventing the full 
implementation of not only the pilot but the implementation of 
the Indian Land Consolidation Act Amendments of 2000.
    The Committee finds that, while reforming the management of 
Indian trust accounts for both individual Indians and Indian 
tribes must be a top priority for the Secretary, the tribes and 
individuals directly affected by any changes in trust fund 
administration had not been adequately consulted on possible 
solutions and reforms, and the proposals currently being 
advanced do not sufficiently reflect their input. For this 
reason, the Committee directs the Secretary to refrain from 
using any funds appropriated under this title for the 
implementation of the Department's plan to create the Bureau of 
Indian Trust Asset Management (BITAM), or for any other use 
that would remove, reallocate, diminish, or alter the Bureau of 
Indian Affairs' individual and tribal trust authority in fiscal 
year 2003.

    Pursuant to the Cardiac Arrest Survival Act of 2000, the 
Department of Health and Human Services and the General 
Services Administration have released guidelines for agencies 
wishing to implement automated external defibrillator (AED) 
programs. The Department of the Interior is in the process of 
ordering additional AED units, and has already installed more 
than 450 AEDs at various locations. The Committee feels that a 
comprehensive review of the Department's AED program is 
appropriate at this time. The Department should submit a report 
to the Committee that describes the number of AEDs currently in 
place or on order for DOI facilities, their geographic 
distribution, their distribution among DOI bureaus, current 
maintenance and training costs, and the Department's long term 
plans for AED placement, service and training. This report 
should be submitted by February 1, 2003.

    Sec. 127. Authorizes use of previously appropriated funds 
to plan the John Adams Presidential Memorial.
    Sec. 128. Provides that funds appropriated and remaining 
available in the Construction (Trust Fund) account of the 
National Park Service at the completion of all authorized 
projects shall be available for the rehabilitation and 
improvement of Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park.
    Sec. 129. Directs the National Park Service to make interim 
payments as part of the Glacier Bay compensation program. The 
Committee notes that the Park Service has been developing this 
program for more than three years, and most fishermen, fishing-
dependent businesses, and local communities have still not 
received compensation.
    Sec. 130. Provides that no funds may be used to prepare or 
enforce Compendia in the Alaska region, including any rule, 
regulation, policy, or management tool that is not promulgated 
pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act. The Committee 
finds that the Park Service in Alaska is failing to follow the 
Administrative Procedures Act.

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

                             Forest Service

    The Committee notes the Administration's proposal to 
eliminate funding for prior year Congressional earmarks in 
favor of its own priorities. The Committee does not accept the 
Administration's action to present a budget that does not 
continue these worthwhile and significant projects, and expects 
the agency to continue funding those programs to a level that 
will assure projects are completed and objectives accomplished. 
Except as otherwise noted in this report, the agency is 
directed to continue funding of the congressional priorities 
noted in prior years where work remains to be accomplished or 
where such priorities require several years to accomplish.

                     forest and rangeland research

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $241,304,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     242,798,000
Committee recommendation................................     252,804,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $252,804,000, 
which is an increase of $10,006,000 above the budget request, 
$11,500,000 above the enacted level.
    The administration proposed redirections of $35,900,000 of 
ongoing research in order to fund a number of its new 
initiatives. The Committee does not concur with this proposal 
which would have led to the closure of a number of critical 
research facilities and required the termination or 
reassignment of 275 employees. Over the past 15 years the 
research program has lost approximately half of its research 
scientists and the Committee cannot concur with a proposal to 
further erode the base research program. Accordingly, funding 
for activities in the research program shall not be reduced 
from the enacted level, including funding levels for all prior 
year congressional projects that were proposed for elimination 
in fiscal year 2003 such as $2,000,000 for the Northeastern 
States Research Cooperative, and $1,130,000 for the research 
laboratory in Sitka, Alaska.
    Increases above the enacted level are $7,000,000 for the 
Forest Inventory and Analysis program in order to further the 
goal of reducing cycle times for completing inventory work and 
to expand the program to additional States, $1,000,000 for the 
global climate change initiative as proposed in the budget 
request, $3,000,000 for uncontrollable costs, and $500,000 to 
improve research and technology development capacity for the 
Northeastern Research Station at Morgantown, WV to reduce the 
impacts to eastern forests from invasive pathogens, parasites, 
and insects. Within the increase for the Forest Inventory and 
Analysis program, $500,000 shall be provided to support 
programs at the Mississippi Institute for Forest Inventory. The 
Committee believes the Institute offers a unique opportunity to 
interpret, expand, and process Forest Inventory and Analysis 
data in a manner making data more readily available and useful 
to non-Federal entities. Within the funds provided for research 
$500,000 shall be granted to the Joe Skeen Institute for 
Rangeland Restoration to perform research work on significant 
rangeland restoration initiatives.

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

    Forest Health Management.--The Committee recommends 
$84,412,000 for forest health management, which is $16,108,000 
above the enacted level. The Committee has provided 
$44,374,000, an increase of $1,070,000 above the enacted level, 
for Federal lands forest health management which is for fixed 
cost increases.
    The Committee continues support of the cooperative effort 
between the State of Vermont and the University of Vermont for 
the Vermont forest monitoring cooperative, and has provided 
$300,000 for this effort.
    The Committee has provided $15,000,000 to support the 
administration's new proposed fund to rapidly respond to 
invasive species problems. This is $3,032,000 more than the 
request. The Committee has included bill language that assures 
these funds are available for the full spectrum of invasive 
species including pests, pathogens, and plants. Within the 
funds provided is $5,000,000 for research and control of Sudden 
Oak Death, including $2,500,000 for control and containment 
activities and $2,500,000 for research. The Committee expects 
the Forest Service to focus these activities in States which 
have had Sudden Oak Death outbreaks such as California, 
Arkansas, and Mississippi or in States where the risk of 
outbreaks is high due to the high concentration of oak species.
    The Committee is disappointed that the Forest Service has 
not fulfilled its stewardship responsibility of controlling 
leafy spurge on its land, particularly in the Dakota 
Grasslands. Within the funds provided, the Committee encourages 
the Forest Service to make controlling leafy spurge a priority. 
The Committee has included $300,000 for the Dakota Prairie 
Grasslands Unit to control leafy spurge on the National 
Grasslands. The Committee urges the Forest Service to spend 
these additional funds on management activities on the ground.
    Cooperative Fire Protection.--The Committee recommends 
$30,893,000 for cooperative fire protection, which is $530,000 
above the enacted level. The Committee has provided $25,853,000 
for State fire assistance and $5,040,000 for volunteer fire 
assistance. Additional funding for these programs is also 
included under the Wildland Fire Management heading.
    Within the funds provided for State fire assistance, 
$500,000 shall be provided to the Cook Inlet Tribal Council to 
perform work in areas infested by the spruce bark beetle which 
has caused severe fire danger on the Kenai Peninsula.
    Cooperative Forestry.--The Committee recommends 
$191,667,000 for cooperative forestry, which is $4,376,000 
above the enacted level.
    The Committee has provided $34,221,000 for the forest 
stewardship program which is $1,050,000 above the enacted 
level. Increases above the enacted level are $750,000 for a 
total of $1,500,000 for the Chesapeake Bay program to support 
forestry efforts in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and $300,000 
above the normal allocation for Utah to support forestry 
education for private landowners with timber resources on their 
lands.
    The Committee has provided $85,000,000 for the forest 
legacy program which is $20,000,000 above the enacted level and 
is derived from the conservation spending category. The 
distribution of these funds is set out in the table below.

                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................      85,000,000

    The Committee has provided $37,750,000 for the urban and 
community forestry program which is $1,750,000 above the 
enacted level. These funds are also derived from the 
conservation spending category. Increases above the enacted 
level are $250,000 for the Chicago Green Streets program, 
$400,000 for a total of $750,000 for the Cook County Forest 
Preserve to conduct environmental and technical work associated 
with the Preserve's forestry programs in Illinois, $300,000 for 
tree planting work in cooperation with the city of Milwaukee, 
Wisconsin, and $800,000 to establish the Urban Watershed Forest 
Research and Demonstration Project Cooperative to help support 
existing applied research, technology transfer, and urban 
natural resources stewardship in Baltimore, Maryland. The 
Committee directs that $350,000 of the amount for the 
Cooperative be provided to the Northeastern Research Station 
for work associated with the Baltimore Ecosystem Study and the 
remainder of the funds be provided to the Parks and People 
Foundation of Baltimore.
    The Committee notes that the administration proposed to 
eliminate the Economic Action Program for fiscal year 2003. 
However, the Committee believes that the EAP programs are 
crucial to assisting rural timber-dependent communities, many 
of which have acute economic problems. Accordingly, the 
Committee recommends $29,700,000 for the Economic Action 
Programs (EAP), which is $29,700,000 above the request and 
$5,980,000 below the enacted level. The allocation of funds for 
EAP is set out in the table below:

Economic Recovery Program...............................      $7,230,000
Rural Development Program...............................       4,900,000

    The Committee notes that the administration also proposed 
eliminating the Pacific Northwest Assistance program for fiscal 
year 2003. While the Committee has not provided a separate 
budget line for the Pacific Northwest Assistance programs as in 
prior years, it has added an additional $3,545,000 above the 
enacted level for the economic recovery program component of 
EAP. The Committee expects that the agency will allocate these 
funds with special consideration for projects in the Pacific 
Northwest.
    The Committee directs that no less than $2,500,000 of the 
funds provided for Rural Development Through Forestry shall be 
allocated to the Northeast-Midwest program.
    The Committee has included bill language to facilitate the 
transfer of the $2,000,000 provided within Economic Action 
Programs to Kake Tribal Corporation in order to implement the 
Kake Tribal Corporation Land Transfer Act.
    International Forestry.--The Committee recommends 
$6,000,000 for the international forestry program which is 
$737,000 above the enacted level. The Committee encourages 
continued focus of the program on efforts to protect the 
habitat of migratory birds and on invasive species control.

management planning, for national forest and grassland planning 
activities and $176,706,000 for inventorying and monitoring. 
The increases above the enacted level are $4,827,000 for fixed 
costs and $400,000, for a total of $600,000, to support 
adaptive management activities at Lake Tahoe.
    Recreation, heritage, and wilderness.--The Committee 
recommends $252,944,000 for recreation, heritage, and 
wilderness programs, which is an increase of $7,444,000 above 
the enacted level. Increases above the enacted level are 
$6,944,000 for fixed costs, and $500,000 to prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement to identify ways to mitigate the 
impacts of helicopter charter flights in the Tongass National 
Forest on the community of Juneau, Alaska. Within the funds 
provided for recreation, $450,000 shall be allocated to the 
Arthur Carhart Wilderness Training Center, in Missoula, 
Montana.
    Wildlife and fish habitat management.--The Committee 
recommends $133,506,000 for wildlife and fisheries habitat 
management, which is an increase of $1,659,000 above the 
enacted level. The increase is for fixed costs. Within the 
funds provided, $250,000 shall be allocated to efforts to 
protect and improve river, stream banks and habitat areas of 
the Batten Kill river.
    Grazing management.--The Committee recommends $35,850,000 
for grazing management, an increase of $1,075,000 above the 
enacted level. The increase is for fixed costs.
    Forest products.--The Committee recommends $263,753,000 for 
forest products, a decrease of $2,587,000 below the enacted 
level, and equal to the budget request. The Committee has 
retained bill language included in prior years which allows the 
funds provided for timber pipeline supply above the normal 
regional allocation on the Tongass National Forest to be 
allocated between the Capital Improvement and Maintenance and 
the National Forest System appropriation. The amount provided 
this purpose is $4,000,000.
    The Committee expects the Forest Service to continue 
preparing and submitting its quarterly reports on the timber 
sales program. The Committee recommends that the agency 
identify the volumes that are offered, sold, and harvested 
categorized as net merchantable sawtimber in its quarterly 
reports.
    Vegetation and watershed management.--The Committee 
recommends $192,384,000 for vegetation and watershed

Twain National Forest, $300,000 for the Wasatch Canyon Water 
Quality Initiative, $135,000 for a hydrology study on the 
Monongahela National Forest, and $1,000,000 for a total of 
$4,550,000 for wetland and riparian restoration, urban lot 
management, and other activities at Lake Tahoe.
    Minerals and geology management.--The Committee recommends 
$53,635,000 which is $4,679,000 above the enacted level. The 
increase is for fixed costs.
    Land ownership management.--The Committee recommends 
$91,016,000 for land ownership management, which is $2,582,000 
above the enacted level. The increase is for fixed costs.
    Law enforcement operations.--The Committee recommends 
$84,000,000 for law enforcement operations, which is $5,000,000 
above the enacted level. Increases above the enacted level are 
$1,142,000 for fixed costs, $200,000 for a total of $950,000 
for counterdrug operations on the Daniel Boone National Forest 
and a general program increase of $3,658,000.
    The Committee is very concerned about the vulnerability of 
facilities and people to acts of terrorism on national forest 
lands. With the critical physical infrastructure, fire 
suppression aircraft, expansive borders, recreation facilities, 
and municipal water supplies on remote national forest lands, 
it is imperative that the agency make every effort to give high 
priority to homeland security measures. Additionally, the 
Committee remains concerned with law enforcement problems 
created by marijuana cultivation and the operation of 
methamphetamine labs on forest system lands in States 
throughout the Nation, such as California, Kentucky, Arkansas, 
and Louisiana. These problems have been increasingly difficult 
for the agency to address given the growing number of personnel 
vacancies that have opened in the law enforcement program. The 
Committee believes that the agency should utilize the 
additional funds provided by the Committee to begin filling 
these vacancies, particularly in areas that are experiencing 
high levels of illegal drug activity.
    Valles Caldera.--The Committee has provided $3,150,000 for 
the Valles Caldera Trust for management activities at the Baca 
Ranch, New Mexico. This is an increase of $350,000 above the 
enacted level.
    Expedited consultations.--The Committee has not established 
a new budget line item in the amount of $15,000,000 as proposed 
by the administration for expedited Endangered Species Act 
consultations. The agency received $11,000,000 for such 
consultations in fiscal year 2001 under the wildland fire 
management appropriation and was unable to spend more than 
$1,000,000 of these funds. If the agency demonstrates the 
ability to efficiently utilize funds for consultation purposes 
in the future, the Committee would reconsider such a request. 
While the Committee has not established a new budget line item 
with additional consultations, it has given the agency the 
authority to transfer up to $15,000,000 within the existing 
budget structure for this purpose in the administrative 
provisions section.
    Quincy Library Group.--The Committee recommends $26,000,000 
for the Quincy Library Group project, which is equal to the 
enacted level and the request. Funding for this project is 
included in both the national forest system and wildland fire 
management appropriation accounts.
    Land Between the Lakes NRA.--The Committee has included 
funding in various accounts such that not less than $8,400,000 
shall be used by the Forest Service for management of the Land 
Between the Lakes NRA.
    Lake Tahoe.--The Committee notes that it has provided a 
total of $24,000,000 for activities in the Lake Tahoe Basin. 
This is an increase of $2,980,000 above the enacted level and 
$17,150,000 above the budget request. Within the National 
Forest System appropriation these amounts are allocated as 
follows, $600,000 within inventorying and monitoring to support 
adaptive management work, $150,000 within recreation, heritage, 
and wilderness management, $50,000 within wildlife and 
fisheries management, $4,550,000 within vegetation and 
watershed management, and $350,000 for landownership 
management. To the extent that a change in the program of work 
is necessitated by a change in priorities in the field the 
distribution of these funds may be revised upon notification 
and consultation with the Committee.
    The Committee has also provided $5,000,000 within the State 
and Private Forestry appropriation, $3,000,000 in the Capital 
Improvement and Maintenance appropriation, $3,000,000 within 
the Wildland Fire Management Appropriation, $350,000 from the 
Roads and Trails fund, and approximately $6,950,000 within the 
Land Acquisition appropriation for activities at Lake Tahoe.

                        WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $1,560,349,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   1,369,138,000
Committee recommendation (incl. emergency)..............   1,369,291,000

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$1,369,291,000 for wildland fire management activities, which 
is $153,000 above the budget request.
    The Committee recommendation includes full funding of the 
request for wildland fire preparedness in the amount of 
$600,703,000. The Committee has also provided a total of 
$420,699,000 for wildland fire suppression which is equal to 
the request. Of this amount, $290,000,000 has been designated 
as emergency appropriations.
    The Committee has provided a total of $347,889,000 for 
other fire operations which is $153,000 above the budget 
request. Within this amount, the Committee has fully funded the 
hazardous fuels reduction request of $228,109,000. Of the funds 
provided for hazardous fuels, a total of $3,000,000 shall be 
allocated for fuels reduction work at Lake Tahoe, including 
work on urban lots, and $1,500,000 shall be allocated to the 
Santa Fe National Forest for the implementation of the Santa Fe 
Watershed Thinning Project.
    The Committee continues to believe that reduction of fuel 
loads on national forests and in areas adjacent to communities 
in the wildland-urban interface is critical for protecting the 
environment and the safety of the public. The Committee also 
believes that the agency should focus on treating acres in the 
urban interface where lives and property are most at risk. 
Accordingly, the agency is directed to spend 70 percent of its 
hazardous fuels funds on treating acres in the wildland urban 
interface as proposed in the agency's budget request. If for 
any reason the Forest Service is unable to attain these levels, 
it shall promptly notify the Committee explaining why the 
agency was unable to expend such sums.
    The remaining funds within the other fire operations 
appropriations account are allocated as follows, $3,624,000 for 
rehabilitation and restoration as proposed in the request; 
$8,000,000 to address the backlog of fire facilities 
maintenance and construction, an increase of $8,000,000 above 
the request; $22,127,000 for research and development, an 
increase of $700,000 above the request; $8,000,000 for the 
joint fire science program as proposed in the request; 
$50,383,000 for the State fire assistance program, an increase 
of $3,928,000 above the request; $8,240,000 for volunteer fire 
assistance as proposed in the request; $11,934,000 for forest 
health activities as proposed in the request; and $7,472,000 
for economic action programs, which is $5,000,000 below the 
enacted level and $7,472,000 above the request.
    The increase above the request for research and development 
shall be allocated to the National Center for Landscape Fire 
Analysis at the University of Montana for a total of $1,700,000 
for the Forest Service share of this cooperative project. Of 
these funds, $200,000 shall be used for the FRAMES project in 
conjunction with the University of Idaho.
    The increase above the request for State fire assistance 
restores the base program to the enacted level. Within the 
amounts provided, $6,000,000 is for the Municipality of 
Anchorage and the Matanuska Susitna Borough to perform work in 
areas affected by the spruce bark beetle which has created a 
severe fire risk to large areas of Southcentral Alaska.

Alaska shall be used to contract with the Alaska Mountain and 
Wilderness Huts Association at Snow River to perform the work.
    The Committee has included bill language authorizing the 
Forest Service to transfer previously appropriated funds in 
addition to the $3,100,000 provided for fiscal year 2003, to 
Purdue University for construction of the Hardwood Tree 
Improvement and Regeneration Center.
    Within the funds provided for facilities capital 
improvement and maintenance, $1,000,000 is for the Institute of 
Pacific Island Forestry, HI.
    The Committee recommends that the agency continue to lease 
the administrative buildings in Newcastle, Wyoming until a 
permanent facility is established to provide continued 
operations within the community of Newcastle.
    The Committee has been informed that the Forest Service has 
utilized funds appropriated in fiscal year 2001 for the Seward 
multi-agency administrative facility for other purposes without 
seeking authority from the Committee. The Committee directs the 
Forest Service to replace the funds appropriated for the Seward 
facility by using funds from general administrative functions 
and to expedite this project. The Committee notes that the 
funds for the Chugach NF visitor center in Cordova shall be the 
final amount provided by the Forest Service. In addition, the 
agency shall be given a share of the space in this facility 
proportional to the agency's share of the construction cost.
    Roads.--The Committee recommends $235,566,000 for road 
maintenance and capital improvement, which is an increase of 
$3,673,000 above the budget request, and $5,900,000 above the 
enacted level. The funding allocations are set out below.

      Total.............................................     236,566,000

    The Committee has included $4,000,000 for construction and 
reconstruction of roads on the Tongass National Forest. Such 
funds are to be used to improve roads originally constructed or 
reconstructed to support specific activities to a standard that 
will support all aspects of multiple use management on the 
national forest. Within the funds provided, $3,000,000 shall be 
allocated for retrofitting and road decommissioning in the Lake 
Tahoe Basin.
    Trails.--The Committee recommends $69,572,000 for trail 
maintenance and capital improvement, which is $503,000 below 
the enacted level, and $743,000 above the request. The funding

$34,000,000 above the request and $23,866,000 above the enacted 
level. These funds are derived from the conservation spending 
category.
    The Committee has not provided the $10,000,000 for office 
collocations with the Bureau of Land Management as proposed in 
the budget request. Before providing these funds, the Committee 
believes a more prudent course is for the Forest Service to 
analyze the number of sites where such collocations would be 
beneficial and provide the Committee with a report indicating 
the locations of these sites and the funds necessary to 
accomplish this objective.

    Consistent with the budget request, the Committee has 
provided a substantial increase for acquisition management. The 
Committee expects that the additional amounts provided will be 
sufficient to execute the acquisition program in an efficient 
manner, and that the Forest Service will ensure that 
acquisition management funds are being spent appropriately and 
that project dollars are not being used for acquisition 
management or otherwise misallocated.
    The Committee understands negotiations are ongoing between 
the Forest Service and outside parties to purchase Snow Country 
byways in the Ottawa NF. Should an agreement satisfactory to 
all parties be reached, the funds designated for the Ottawa NF 
in this report should be used for those lands.

               Administrative Provisions, Forest Service

    The Committee has continued many of the same administrative 
provisions as provided in prior years.
    Language is included which authorizes the Forest Service to 
provide funds to the National Forest Foundation to match up to 
$2,250,000 in private contributions on a 1-for-1 basis for 
projects on National Forest System lands or related to Forest 
Service programs. The Committee has authorized up to $400,000 
of Federal funds provided, may be used for administrative 
expenses of the Foundation.
    Language is included which provides funds for the National 
Fish and Wildlife Foundation in the amount of $2,650,000 on a 
1-for-1 matching basis with private contributions for projects 
on or benefiting National Forest System lands.
    Language is included which allows the Forest Service to 
transfer appropriated funds to the Bureau of Land Management 
from the National Forest System account for work related to the 
management of wild horses and burros. The amount of funds 
transferred with this authority should be displayed in 
subsequent budget justifications.
    Language is included which permits the Secretary of 
Agriculture to sell excess buildings and other facilities on 
the Green Mountain National Forest and to retain the revenues 
for maintenance and rehabilitation activities on the forest.
    Language is included allowing up to $15,000,000 to be 
transferred to the Secretary of Commerce or the Secretary of 
the Interior for Endangered Species Act consultations.
    The Committee notes the expected increases in indirect 
costs for the Forest Service despite the administration's 
emphasis on streamlining agency operations and reducing such 
costs. While the Committee is skeptical that such costs can be 
reduced by 50 percent, as proposed by the administration, it is 
imperative that substantial reductions occur in order to 
increase the availability of funds for on-the-ground work. 
Although the Committee has eliminated prescriptive bill 
language regarding management of indirect costs, the Committee 
directs the Forest Service to continue to display agency 
indirect costs in future budget justifications, continue its 
use of standard definitions for such costs, and report to the 
Committee any changes in such definitions. Further, the 
Committee directs that indirect expenses charged to the 
Knutson-Vandenberg, Brush Disposal, Cooperative Work-Other, and 
Salvage Sale funds shall be limited to no more than 20 percent 
of total obligations.

                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


                          BUDGET DOCUMENTATION

    The Committee continues to be deeply concerned with the 
quality and content of the Department's budget justification 
and related documents. The information presented to Congress--
information on which it must base critical funding decisions--
is often incomplete, frequently uninformative, and generally 
lacking in clarity and specificity. Proposed changes in 
activities from one fiscal year to another are regularly left 
unexplained. Indeed, the Department's budget documents are 
replete with examples where funding levels have been proposed 
for change, including the outright termination of ongoing 
activities, yet no justification or explanation is offered. 
Particularly troublesome are the proposed changes in statutory 
language which are presented to Congress without explanation.
    Unfortunately, these concerns are not new, nor is this the 
first time the Committee has advised the Department of this 
ongoing problem. Consequently, the Committee directs the 
Department to evaluate its current budget formulation and 
request process, and, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, 
present the Committee with a plan for addressing this problem. 
At a minimum, the Committee expects future budget 
justifications to include a full explanation of any funding 
change of $50,000 or more within a specific activity, and 
fiscal year crosswalks detailing, at the activity level, any 
project initiations or terminations. In addition, the 
Department is directed to fully explain in future 
justifications proposed changes to statutory language, 
including a detailed description of the need for such changes 
and the history of any statutes and regulations affected. This 
directive was included on page 85 of Senate Report 106-312, but 
has been utterly ignored by the Department and the Office of 
Management and Budget despite the fact that such explanations 
are required by OMB itself.

                               (DEFERRAL)

    The Committee recommends a deferral of $60,000,000 in 
previously appropriated funding for the Clean Coal Technology 
program. The Committee understands that the projects for which 
this funding will be used are progressing, but at a somewhat 
slower pace than originally anticipated.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................     529,305,000
Committee recommendation................................     640,965,000

    The Committee recommends $640,965,000 for fossil energy 
research and development, an increase of $18,475,000 over the 
equivalent enacted level in fiscal year 2002, and an increase 
of $111,660,000 over the equivalent budget request. More than 
$93,000,000 in programmatic increases above the budget request 
were necessitated by the Department's proposed early 
termination of valuable research projects, many of which, in 
the opinion of the Committee, are central to our Nation's 
energy security. In addition, the Committee has not agreed to 
the use of $14,000,000 in previously appropriated funds. The 
amounts recommend by the Committee as compared to the budget 
estimate are shown below.

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

    Clean Coal Power Initiative.--The Committee recommends 
$150,000,000 in new budget authority for the clean coal power 
initiative in keeping with the President's stated commitment to 
provide $2,000,000,000 over 10 years for clean coal 
technologies. The Committee does not agree to the Department's 
proposal to use $40,000,000 in previously appropriated clean 
coal funds.
    Fuels and Power Systems.--The Committee recommends 
$270,190,000 for fuels and power systems, an increase of 
$23,689,000 over the fiscal year 2002 enacted level and 
$45,090,000 over the budget request. In Central Systems, 
increases above the budget request total $13,300,000, of which 
$1,000,000 is to support an evaluation program of elemental 
mercury emissions reduction from North Dakota lignite-fired 
power plants, $6,000,000 is for IGGC, $2,300,000 is for 
advanced combustion systems, and $4,000,000 is for turbines. In

$4,000,000, of which $1,000,000 is for coal utilization science 
(continuation of the Arctic Energy Office), $1,000,000 is for 
materials, and $2,000,000 is for technology crosscut (for 
continuation of the supercomputing program).
    The Committee is aware of the ongoing work between NETL, 
Western Kentucky University, and other institutions to initiate 
a Consortium to Study Coal Combustion. The Department is 
encouraged to use a portion of the $2,300,000 increase in 
Advanced Combustion Systems to begin development of this 
Consortium.
    Within the funds provided for the Clean Fuels, the 
Department should continue the clean diesel fuels program in 
cooperation with the University of Alaska.
    Natural Gas Technologies.--The Committee recommends 
$48,320,000 for natural gas technologies, an increase of 
$3,120,000 over the fiscal year 2002 enacted level, and 
$25,730,000 over the budget request. In Exploration and 
Production, increases above the budget request total 
$8,000,000, of which $3,000,000 is for the Deep Trek program, 
$2,000,000 is for continuation of the lab/industry 
partnerships, and $3,000,000 is for the Arctic Energy Office 
(of which $2,000,000 is directed toward research on the Alaska 
gas pipeline). In Gas Hydrates, increases above the budget 
request total $6,000,000. In Infrastructure, increases above 
the request total $9,050,000, of which $2,000,000 is for 
storage technology and $7,000,000 is for infrastructure 
technology. In Emerging Processing Technology, increases above 
the budget total $2,680,000 (for the final phase of the coal 
mine methane demonstration program).
    Oil Technologies.--The Committee recommends $48,300,000 for 
oil technologies, a decrease of $7,699,000 from the fiscal year 
2002 enacted level and an increase of $12,900,000 from the 
budget request. In Exploration and Production, increases above 
the budget request total $11,000,000, of which $500,000 is for 
advanced drilling, $1,500,000 is for advanced diagnostics, 
$4,000,000 is for the lab/industry partnerships, $2,000,000 is 
for reservoir efficiency, $1,500,000 is for PRIME, and 
$1,500,000 is for the Arctic Energy Office of which $500,000 is 
to continue oxygen transport ceramic membrane research. In 
Reservoir Life Extension, increases above the budget request 
total $1,500,000, of which $500,000 is for technology transfer 
and $1,000,000 is for PUMP. And, in Effective Environmental 
Protection, increases above the budget request total $400,000 
for the risk assessment program split equally between the RBDMS 
Base Program and the coalbed methane interface for MT and 
Alaska.
    Cooperative Research and Development.--The Committee 
recommends $8,840,000 for cooperative research and development, 
an increase of $600,000 over the fiscal year 2002 enacted 
level, and $2,840,000 above the budget request.
    Environmental Restoration.--The Committee recommends 
$9,715,000 for environmental restoration, and increase of 
$215,000 above the fiscal year 2002 enacted level and fully 
commensurate with the budget request.
    Program Direction and Management Support.--The Committee 
recommends $93,600,000 for program direction and management 
support, an increase of $7,600,000 above the fiscal year 2002 
enacted level, and $22,900,000 above the budget request. The 
sizable increase above the budget request is attributable to 
the fact that the Committee has not followed the Department's 
practice of counting previously appropriated program direction 
funding. Of the funds provided, $18,900,000 is for headquarters 
program direction and $74,700,000 is for field program 
direction.
    Plant and Capital Equipment.--The Committee recommends 
$3,000,000 for plant and capital equipment, a decrease of

made available, $2,000,000 is for general plant projects 
(including the Albany Research Center) and $1,000,000 is for 
the second installment of the infrastructure improvement 
program at the National Energy Technology Laboratory. The 
Committee is hopeful that the Department will heed its 
direction of last year and include the NETL funding as part of 
the base in future years.
    Advanced Metallurgical Processes.--The Committee recommends 
$6,000,000 for advanced metallurgical processes, an increase of 
$800,000 from the fiscal year 2002 enacted level, and $700,000 
above the budget request.

    The Committee recommends $921,741,000 for energy 
conservation, an increase of $20,090,000 above the budget 
request. The detail table at the back of the report displays 
the distribution of funds among the activities in energy 
conservation. Changes to the budget request are detailed below.
    Building, Technology, State and Community Sector.--In 
buildings, research, and standards, increases include 
$6,000,000 for competitive research and development, and 
$10,000,000 in equipment, materials, and tools, of which 
$4,000,000 is for the Next Generation of Lighting Initiative, 
$2,000,000 is for competitive solicitation in building envelope 
research and development, $3,000,000 is for window 
technologies, and $1,000,000 is for lighting and appliance 
standards.
    In building technology assistance, there is an increase of 
$7,000,000 for the State energy program and a decrease of 
$37,100,000 for weatherization assistance. The Committee notes 
that while the recommendation for weatherization is below the 
budget estimate, it is $10,000,000 above the enacted level.
    Federal Energy Management Program.--The Committee 
recommends the budget request for the Federal Energy Management 
Program.
    Industry Sector.--For industry sector research, the 
Committee recommends a net increase of $4,500,000 above the 
request for industries of the future (crosscutting). Within the 
increase above the request, $1,000,000 is provided for 
industrial materials of the future, $2,000,000 is provided for 
the inventions and innovations program, and $2,500,000 is 
provided to fund a regional bio-based products consortia. The 
Committee encourages this organization to work toward becoming 
self-sustaining. In industries of the future (crosscutting), 
there is a $1,000,000 decrease for industrial assessment 
centers. The Committee encourages the mining vision to 
emphasize research that reduces the cost of mineral production 
and to document best practices.
    Power Technologies.--For power technologies, increases 
include $1,000,000 gas turbines and $1,000,000 for fuel 
flexibility to be dedicated to oil heat research. Within 
available funds, the Department should consider funding for the 
National Accounts Energy Alliance.
    Transportation Sector.--For transportation sector research, 
there is an increase of $26,690,000. The Committee recommends a 
$9,000,000 net increase for vehicle technologies research and 
development, including $2,000,000 for combustion and 
aftertreatment research and development, $1,000,000 for light 
truck engines, $5,500,000 for heavy truck engines, $1,500,000 
for off-highway engine research and development, including 
research on locomotive engines, agricultural, and other off-
highway equipment, and $2,000,000 for advanced battery 
development. The Committee recommends a decrease of $3,000,000 
for fuel cell research and development, including $1,400,000 
for systems, $1,000,000 for stack subsystems components, and 
$600,000 for fuel processor storage. Within the funds provided, 
the Northwest Alliance for Transportation Technologies (NATT) 
should be expanded to support the continued development of 
essential power systems advanced emissions technologies for 
Light and Heavy Duty vehicles.
    Other transportation program increases include an increase 
of $6,690,000 for fuels utilization research and development. 
Within this increase, $990,000 is for alternative fuels for 
automobiles and light trucks, $2,000,000 is for medium trucks, 
and $2,000,000 is for heavy trucks. Also within this increase 
is $1,700,000 for fueling infrastructure. The Committee expects 
the Department to consider the natural gas CNG Cylinder Safety 
Inspection and Certification Training program within that 
increase.
    The Committee recommends a $9,000,000 increase for 
materials technologies, including $2,000,000 for automotive 
propulsion materials, $6,000,000 for automotive lightweight 
materials, and $1,000,000 for heavy vehicle strength reduction 
materials to support continued funding of on-going research on 
Metal Matrix Composites.
    In technology deployment, the Committee recommends a 
$2,000,000 increase for the Clean Cities program. The Committee 
is aware of work being done by the National Ethanol Vehicle 
Coalition to increase E-85 fueling capacity, and urges the 
Department to give careful consideration to proposals that may 
be submitted to further this goal.
    General.--By means of this report, the Committee approves 
the reorganizational reprogramming submitted by the Office of 
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. The Committee still 
questions certain aspects of this proposal, particularly the 
board of directors and it expects that its concerns will be 
addressed when the new organization is in place.
    As is mentioned earlier in this report, the Committee 
directs the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to 
revise and restructure the budget justification document 
submitted to this subcommittee for fiscal year 2004. Provided 
concurrence is given by the House for the reorganization, the 
fiscal year 2004 budget justification should include a detailed 
crosswalk table from the old budget structure and organization 
to the new budget structure and organization, as well as 
provide adequate explanations of programmatic changes. The 
Office should not use the current format that repeats the same 
program explanation each year. Instead, EERE should detail and 
justify any changes made to the enacted level.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................     168,856,000
Committee recommendation................................     174,856,000

    The Committee recommends $174,856,000 for the Strategic 
Petroleum Reserve, a decrease of $4,153,000 from the fiscal 
year 2002 enacted level, and an increase of $6,000,000 from the 
budget request. Of the amount provided, the Committee 
recommends $158,856,000 for storage facilities development and 
operations, an increase of $4,000,000 over the budget request. 
These funds are to be used for the electricity and operational 
requirements directly associated with injecting oil into the 
Reserve's caverns. The increase is offset by reducing the SPR 
Petroleum Account by a corresponding amount. This change will 
preserve consistency in accounting, and allow comparability of 
costs over time. The Committee's recommendation also includes 
$16,000,000 for management, an increase of $2,000,000 over the 
budget request. Finally, funding for the Northeast Home Heating 
Oil Reserve has been retained in a separate account.

                         SPR PETROLEUM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2002....................................................
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     $11,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       7,000,000

    The Committee recommends $7,000,000 for the SPR Petroleum 
Account, a decrease of $4,000,000 below the budget request. 
This decrease is fully explained in the recommendations for the 
Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

                   NORTHEAST HOME HEATING OIL RESERVE

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $8,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       8,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       8,000,000

    The Committee recommends $8,000,000 for the Northeast Home 
Heating Oil Reserve, the same as the fiscal year 2002 enacted 
level and the budget request.

                   ENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $78,499,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      80,111,000
Committee recommendation................................      80,111,000

    The Committee recommends $80,111,000 for the Energy 
Information Administration, which is the same as the budget 
estimate.
    The Committee is concerned about the quality, consistency, 
and timeliness of the data published by EIA on coal production 
and consumption as well as the electric utility sector. EIA is 
directed to resolve and correct the problems surrounding this 
data.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


                         Indian Health Service


                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $2,389,614,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   2,452,997,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,466,280,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,466,280,000 
for Health Services. This amount is $76,666,000 above the 
current year enacted level and $13,283,000 above the budget 
estimate. Increases above the budget estimate include: 
$9,889,000 for the Indian Health Care Improvement Fund, which 
is unfunded in the budget estimate and $230,000 for the 
Ketchikan Native Corporation to correct a reconciliation error 
that would have resulted in an unintended decrease to the base 
funds available for the operation of a clinic in Ketchikan. An 
increase above the budget estimate of $95,000 is provided 
within Indian health professions for the Recruitment and 
Retention of American Indians into Nursing (RAIN) program at 
the University of North Dakota. This national program has 
proven to be highly successful in recruiting and graduating 
American Indians with degrees in nursing. Also within Indian 
health professions, the Committee has continued base funding of 
$250,000 for the University of Montana and $250,000 for the 
University of North Dakota to continue their InPsych programs, 
and $750,000 for the University of North Dakota to continue its 
INMED program. Within urban health services, an amount of 
$1,000,000 is retained in base funding for the dental program 
run by First Nations Community Health Sources in cooperation 
with the Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute. An amount of 
$4,000,000 remains in the base for the Telehealth Initiative in 
Alaska. An amount of $4,150,000 for additional recruitment 
efforts proposed in the budget estimate has not been included 
in the Committee's recommendations because it is unclear why 
many of the proposed activities could not be accomplished 
within existing funds.
    The Committee has restored an amount of $9,709,000 in 
proposed administrative reductions or transfers within the 
Services account. The Committee does not agree to the proposed 
reductions of $4,435,000 from tribal operations and $4,436,000 
from direct operations for managerial reforms. The budget 
estimate indicates that these reductions are to be taken from 
administrative positions and costs associated with travel, 
training, copying, and similar activities. In the time period 
from 1993-2001, the FTE levels at IHS headquarters were reduced 
by 60 percent. Regional program staffing levels were reduced by 
58 percent. Given these statistics, as well as the vast need 
for improved services, the Committee cannot support these 
proposals. Further, the Committee does not agree to the 
proposed transfer of $838,000 for consolidation of the 
Legislative Affairs Office at IHS with that of the Department 
of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The complexity and variety 
of issues that surround the provision of health services to 
Native Americans and Alaska Natives demand an unusual degree of 
expertise and experience. It is the Committee's view that 
Native American health issues merit greater emphasis and 
attention than would be gained in a consolidation at the 
Department's headquarters level.
    The Committee notes that the Service is expected to absorb 
$11,899,000 in retirement annuity payments for Commissioned 
Corps Officers. This amount has traditionally been covered by 
the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and administered by that 
agency. While the transfer of administrative responsibility is 
mandated in the Department of Defense Reauthorization Act of 
Fiscal Year 2002 and proposed in the budget request, the 
Committee is disturbed that the corresponding funds were not 
transferred to the Service to cover these costs. Given the 
enormous needs in every area of health services for Native 
Americans, the Committee cannot support a proposal that would 
use program dollars to cover the unfunded increase. Therefore, 
the Committee has included bill language mandating that the DOD 
continue to cover these costs in fiscal year 2003 as it has 
done in the past. The Committee expects that any future 
proposals by DHHS for the Service to pay these costs will 
include the funding required to do so.
    Bill language has also been included regarding base funds 
of $15,000,000 that are directed to the Alaska Federation of 
Natives for alcohol control, prevention, and treatment. The 
bill language would designate $100,000 of the overall amount 
for an independent third party (1) to conduct an evaluation of 
the program, including each grantee and contractor, which will 
include by region the number of clients, including recidivism 
rates, and the impact on overall alcoholism and crime rates, 
and (2) to make recommendations for improvement, provided that 
no more than 5 percent may be used by any entity receiving 
funding for administrative overhead including indirect costs.
    The Committee expects the Service to continue the diabetes 
prevention and research activities centered at the National 
Diabetes Prevention Center in Gallup, New Mexico, and jointly 
funded by the Centers for Disease Control.
    Within 45 days of receiving a request to expand the 
contract health service area of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw 
Indians to cover members in the western Tennessee counties of 
Lauderdale, Shelby and Tipton, the Director of the Indian 
Health Service shall rule on such request. If the request is 
not approved, the Director shall report to the Committee within 
30 days of his ruling the specific reasons for the denial. 
Prior to accepting the request for expansion of the service 
area, the Service shall consult with the tribe regarding the 
documentation and information required by the Service in order 
to process the request.

                        INDIAN HEALTH FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $369,487,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     362,571,000
Committee recommendation................................     374,765,000

    The Committee has provided an appropriation of $374,765,000 
for Indian health facilities. This amount is $5,278,000 over 
the enacted level and $12,194,000 above the budget request. The 
detail table at the back of the report displays the proposed 
distribution of funds among the Service's facilities programs.
    Within health care facilities construction, the Committee 
recommends the following distribution:

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

    The Committee has included bill language that would 
prohibit the use of Indian Health Service appropriated funds 
for sanitation facilities construction associated with new 
homes funded with grants by housing programs of the Department 
of Housing and Urban Development (DHUD). These DHUD housing 
grant programs for new homes are able to fund the sanitation 
facilities necessary for the homes.
    The Committee strongly encourages the Indian Health 
Service, from its Sanitation Facilities Construction program, 
to continue to fund at the highest level possible within the 
current IHS priority list, construction of a new drinking water 
system for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall 
Reservation in Idaho.
    Last year, the Committee instructed the Indian Health 
Service to continue its review of the facilities priority 
system with the goal of better reflecting the full range of 
need for facilities in Indian country. Since that time, the 
Committee understands that a work group assembled by the 
facilities appropriations tribal advisory board has completed a 
draft report for the board's consideration. That report is 
available to the public through the Service's web site. Once 
the board has had the opportunity to consider the group's 
recommendations, a final report will be issued for 
consideration by the tribes and the Service. Upon issuance of 
the final report, the Committee expects that future budget 
requests will better reflect the range of needs identified by 
the report.
    The Committee is concerned about reports that the small 
ambulatory grant program lacks representation from tribes in 
the eastern region of the United States. While recognizing that 
this is a competitive program, the Committee encourages the 
Service to consider geographic distribution as one of the 
criteria for selection in applications that are otherwise 
similarly evaluated.

Committee recommendation................................     436,660,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $436,660,000 
for salaries and expenses of the Smithsonian Institution. This 
amount is $2,000,000 above the budget estimate. The detail 
table at the back of the report displays the proposed 
allocation of funds among the Institution's programs. The 
increase to the budget estimate is provided to the National 
Museum of American History for its 9/11 initiative.
    The Smithsonian's Inspector General found that for fiscal 
years 1998 through 2000, the Board of Regents approved 
$699,000,000 in trust fund expenditures while the Institution 
spent $1,070,000,000. This discrepancy was due to the lack of 
coherent and comprehensive budget proposals for the 
Institution's trust funded activities. The Committee is pleased 
that the Institution has developed a plan to address this 
issue, and urges its timely implementation. The Committee also 
urges the Institution to implement such interim measures as are 
necessary to mitigate the risks associated with incomplete 
trust budget proposals.

            REPAIR, RESTORATION AND ALTERATION OF FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $67,900,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      81,300,000
Committee recommendation................................      81,300,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $81,300,000 
for the repair and restoration of facilities. This amount meets 
the budget request and provides an increase of $13,400,000 for 
activities within this account. The Committee has included bill 
language proposed in the budget justification that would allow 
for funds from this appropriation to be used for salaries of 
personnel assigned to facilities projects. Within the 
additional funds provided, the Smithsonian should address the 
need for a Mall entrance to the National Museum of Natural 
History that meets the American with Disabilities Act 
regulations.
    The Committee requested the National Academy of Public 
Administration to examine the needs for restoration and 
renovation of Smithsonian facilities, and a report was received 
by the Committee in July, 2001 which recommends $1.5 billion in 
repairs and renovations to ensure the safety and security of 
the collections, facilities, employees and visitors at the 
Smithsonian's 400 buildings. The Committee is providing $81.3 
million for the repair and restoration of facilities as a 
beginning to the $1.5 billion that is needed over the next 10 
years.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $20,000,000 
for construction of Smithsonian facilities. This amount exceeds 
the budget estimate by $10,000,000 and is provided to complete 
construction of the National Museum of the American Indian. 
Based on the most recent information provided to the Committee, 
these additional funds are necessary to fulfill the Museum's 
remaining contractual obligations.
    An amount of $2,000,000 requested in the budget estimate 
for planning and design of an alcohol storage facility has not 
been included in this appropriation because it is now being 
considered by Congress for inclusion in a pending emergency 
supplemental funding bill. In planning the alcohol storage 
facility, the Smithsonian is urged to consider the need for 
similar storage by the Environmental Research Center in 
Edgewater, Maryland.
    The Committee has included language proposed in the budget 
justification that would allow the use of construction funds 
for salaries of personnel required for construction projects.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................      78,219,000
Committee recommendation................................      78,219,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $78,219,000 
for salaries and expenses at the National Gallery of Art. This 
amount meets the overall fiscal year 2003 budget estimate but 
is not in agreement with the proposed distribution of funds 
among the Gallery's various activities. The budget estimate 
includes $827,000 for the special exhibitions program, which 
the Committee understands is not sufficient for the Gallery to 
maintain its current activities. The Committee recommends an 
amount of $3,026,000 for this program, which continues the 
current year enacted funding level. In light of the significant 
non-Federal support the Gallery is able to attract for its 
public programs, such as special exhibitions, the Committee 
views the relatively small Federal investment in this area as 
one that is leveraged many times over for the public benefit. 
In order to provide sufficient funds for the special exhibition 
program, the Committee has reduced the increase proposed for 
preventive maintenance and repair by $2,199,000 to provide an 
additional amount of $1,952,000 for these activities. The 
detail table at the back of the report displays the 
distribution of funds among the Gallery's activities.

            REPAIR, RESTORATION, AND RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $16,230,000 
for the repair, restoration, and renovation of buildings. This 
amount meets the budget estimate, and provides funding to 
continue Master Facilities Plan projects, as well as ongoing 
renovation and repair work. The Committee expects that any 
proposal by the Gallery to apply these funds in a manner that 
is not readily apparent from the fiscal year 2003 budget 
presentation will be brought to the Committee's attention 
before action is taken.

Committee recommendation................................ \1\ 118,489,000

\1\ Includes funds previously appropriated separately through the 
Challenge America fund account.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $118,489,000 
for grants and administration of the National Endowment for the 
Arts. An increase of $2,000,000 above the budget estimate is 
included for the Challenge America program to enhance the 
Endowment's current outreach efforts. In addition to the 
funding traditionally provided through this account, the 
Committee has folded the Challenge America program and its 
associated current year funding of $17,000,000 into this 
appropriation. This fund was established by Congress in fiscal 
year 2001 for the purpose of supporting the Endowment's 
outreach activities at both the Federal and State levels.
    Language in title III of the bill retains provisions from 
prior years regarding priority for rural and underserved 
communities; priority for grants that encourage public 
knowledge, education, understanding, and appreciation of the 
arts; restrictions regarding individual grants, subgranting, 
and seasonal support; a 15-percent cap on the total amount of 
grant funds directed to any one State; designation of a 
category for grants of national significance; and authority to 
solicit and invest funds.
    The detail table at the back of the report displays the 
proposed distribution among the endowment's activities.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................     109,632,000
Committee recommendation................................     111,632,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $111,632,000 
for grants and administration of the National Endowment for the 
Humanities, an increase of $2,000,000 above the budget 
estimate. The additional funds are provided to enhance the 
activities of the State Humanities Councils. The detail table 
at the back of the report displays the distribution of funds 
among the agency's various activities.
    As in prior years, the Committee has included bill language 
providing the Endowment with the authority to solicit and 
invest funds.

Committee recommendation................................      16,122,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $16,122,000 
for matching grants. This amount meets the budget request and 
provides $10,436,000 for Challenge grants and $5,686,000 is for 
Treasury funds.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................       1,224,000
Committee recommendation................................       1,224,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,224,000 for 
the Commission of Fine Arts, an amount that meets the fiscal 
year 2003 budget estimate. The Committee expects that the 
Commission of Fine Arts will continue to serve as the 
administering agency for the National Capital Arts and Cultural 
Affairs Program. It had been proposed in the budget estimate to 
transfer this program to the D.C. Commission on the Arts and 
Humanities.

               NATIONAL CAPITAL ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $7,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       7,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       7,000,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $7,000,000 for 
the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs Program. The 
Committee does not agree with the proposal to administer these 
funds through the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities 
and, therefore, expects the Commission of Fine Arts will 
continue managing the program in the same manner as it has in 
the past.

               Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

    The Committee recommends $4,000,000, an increase of 
$333,000 above the budget request. The increase provided is for 
fixed costs.

                     TITLE III--GENERAL PROVISIONS

    The Committee has recommended inclusion of several general 
provisions in the bill including the following:
    Sec. 301. Provides that contracts which provide consulting 
services be a matter of public record and available for public 
review, except where otherwise provided by law.
    Sec. 302. Provides that appropriations available in the 
bill shall not be used to produce literature or otherwise 
promote public support of a legislative proposal on which 
legislative action is not complete.
    Sec. 303. Provides that appropriations made available in 
this bill will not remain available beyond the current fiscal 
year unless otherwise provided.
    Sec. 304. Provides that appropriations made available in 
this bill cannot be used to provide a cook, chauffeur, or other 
personal servants.
    Sec. 305. Provides for restrictions on departmental 
assessments unless approved by the Committees on 
Appropriations.
    Sec. 306. Limits the actions of the Forest Service and the 
Bureau of Land Management with regard to the sale of giant 
sequoia trees to a manner consistent with such sales as were 
conducted in fiscal year 2000.
    Sec. 307. Prohibits the National Park Service from 
implementing a concession contract which permits or requires 
the removal of the underground lunchroom at Carlsbad Caverns 
National Park.
    Sec. 308. Retains mining patent moratorium carried in 
previous years.
    Sec. 309. Provides that funds appropriated to the Bureau of 
Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service for contract 
support costs for fiscal years 1994 through 2001 are the total 
amounts available except that, for the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs, tribes and tribal organizations may use their tribal 
priority allocations for unmet indirect costs of ongoing 
contracts, grants, self-governance compacts, or annual funding 
agreements.
    Sec. 310. Includes language allowing competition for 
watershed restoration projects through the ``Jobs in the 
Woods'' component of the President's forest plan for the 
Pacific Northwest or for the ``Jobs in the Woods'' program for 
Alaska to be limited to individuals and entities in 
historically timber-dependent areas covered by the plan.
    Sec. 311. Includes language defining the grantmaking 
capabilities and responsibilities of the National Endowment of 
the Arts. Grants to individuals may be made only for literature 
fellowships, national heritage fellowships, or American jazz 
masters fellowships. The Chairperson of the Endowment will 
establish procedures to ensure that grants made, except those 
to a State or local arts agency, will not be used to make a 
further grant to any other organization or individual to 
conduct activity independent of the direct grant recipient. 
Grants for seasonal support may not be awarded unless the 
application is specific to the contents of the season.
    Sec. 312. Includes language allowing the National Endowment 
for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities to 
raise funds and receive gifts, to deposit such in an interest-
bearing account for the appropriate Endowment, and to use such 
to further the functions of the respective Endowments in 
accordance with the specified intent of the donors.
    Sec. 313. Provides language for awarding financial 
assistance to underserved populations under the National 
Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965. With 
funds appropriated to carry out section 5 of the act, the 
chairman will establish a category of national significance 
grants. With the exception of this grant category, the chairman 
will not make grants exceeding 15 percent, in the aggregate, of 
such funds to any single State.
    Sec. 314. Prohibits the use of appropriations to fund any 
activities associated with the issuance of the 5-year program 
under the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning 
Act. Strategic planning activities carried out for that act 
should now be completed as part of the agency's compliance with 
the Government Performance and Results Act, Public Law 103-62.
    Sec. 315. Prohibits the use of funds to support Government-
wide administrative functions unless they are justified in the 
budget process and approved by the House and Senate 
Appropriations Committees.
    Sec. 316. Prohibits the use of funds for GSA 
telecommunication centers.
    Sec. 317. Prohibits the use of funds to make improvements 
to Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House without 
Committee approval.
    Sec. 318. Provides additional authority to use the roads 
and trails funds for priority forest health related management. 
The Committee recognizes that there is a serious backlog in 
important road, trail and bridge work throughout the national 
forest system just as there is a serious backlog in needed 
management related to forest health.
    Sec. 319. Addresses timber sales involving Alaska western 
redcedar. This language slightly modifies a provision carried 
in the fiscal year 2002 bill, which deals with export of 
certain western red cedar timber from Alaska. Mills which 
process western red cedar in the Pacific Northwest have an 
insufficient supply of western red cedar, and the national 
forest in southeast Alaska sometimes has a surplus. This 
provision continues a program by which Alaska's surplus western 
red cedar is made available preferentially to U.S. domestic 
mills outside Alaska, prior to export abroad.
    Sec. 320. Provides that the Forest Service may not 
inappropriately use the Recreation Fee Demonstration program to 
supplant existing recreation concessions on the national 
forests.
    Sec. 321. Continues a provision providing that the 
Secretary of Agriculture shall not be considered in violation 
of certain provisions of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable 
Resources Planning Act solely because more than 15 years have 
passed without revision of a forest plan, provided that the 
Secretary is working in good faith to complete the plan 
revision within available funds.
    Sec. 322. Prohibits oil, natural gas and mining related 
activities within current national monument boundaries.
    Sec. 323. Authorizes the Forest Service to expand the 
number of stewardship and end results contracts. These projects 
are in addition to the projects authorized in Public Law 106-
291.
    Sec. 324. Makes employees of foundations established by 
Acts of Congress to solicit private sector funds on behalf of 
Federal land management agencies eligible to qualify for 
General Service Administration contract airfares beginning in 
fiscal year 2004.
    Sec. 325. Provides the Secretary of Agriculture and the 
Secretary of the Interior the authority to enter into 
reciprocal agreements with foreign nations concerning the 
personal liability of firefighters.
    Sec. 326. Modifies administration-proposed provision 
addressing expiring grazing permits on BLM land to include 
permits on Forest Service lands. This section allows existing 
permit holders whose permits will or have expired due to agency 
delays to continue grazing activities until the Secretary of 
Agriculture or the Secretary of the Interior completes an 
environmental review of these permits.
    Sec. 327. Allows the Secretary of Agriculture and the 
Secretary of the Interior to consider local contractors when 
awarding contracts for certain activities on public lands.
