motion shall be considered as read. The rule provides one hour 
of debate on the motion equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Appropriations. The rule provides for a division of the 
question of adoption of the motion between the two House 
amendments. The rule provides that the Chair may postpone 
further consideration of the motion to a time designated by the

  Sec. 518. (a) Tracing studies conducted by the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are released without 
adequate disclaimers regarding the limitations of the data.
  (b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 
shall include in all such data releases, language similar to 
the following that would make clear that trace data cannot be 
used to draw broad conclusions about firearms-related crime:
          (1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law 
        enforcement authorities in conducting investigations by 
        tracking the sale and possession of specific firearms. 
        Law enforcement agencies may request firearms traces 
        for any reason, and those reasons are not necessarily 
        reported to the Federal Government. Not all firearms 
        used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced 
        are used in crime.
          (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for 
        purposes of determining which types, makes, or models 
        of firearms are used for illicit purposes. The firearms 
        selected do not constitute a random sample and should 
        not be considered representative of the larger universe 
        of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset of 
        that universe. Firearms are normally traced to the 
        first retail seller, and sources reported for firearms 
        traced do not necessarily represent the sources or 
        methods by which firearms in general are acquired for 
        use in crime.
  Sec. 519. (a) The Inspectors General of the Department of 
Commerce, the Department of Justice, the National Aeronautics 
and Space Administration, and the National Science Foundation 
shall conduct audits, pursuant to the Inspector General Act (5 
U.S.C. App.), of grants or contracts for which funds are 
appropriated by this Act, and shall submit reports to Congress 
on the progress of such audits, which may include preliminary 
findings and a description of areas of particular interest, 
within 180 days after initiating such an audit and every 180 
days thereafter until any such audit is completed.
  (b) Within 60 days after the date on which an audit described 
in subsection (a) by an Inspector General is completed, the 
Secretary, Attorney General, Administrator, or Director, as 
appropriate, shall make the results of the audit available to 
the public on the Internet website maintained by the 
Department, Administration, or Foundation, respectively. The 
results shall be made available in redacted form to exclude--
          (1) any matter described in section 552(b) of title 
        5, United States Code; and
          (2) sensitive personal information for any 
        individual, the public access to which could be used to 
        commit identity theft or for other inappropriate or 
        unlawful purposes.
  (c) A grant or contract funded by amounts appropriated by 
this Act may not be used for the purpose of defraying the costs 
of a banquet or conference that is not directly and 
programmatically related to the purpose for which the grant or 
contract was awarded, such as a banquet or conference held in 
connection with planning, training, assessment, review, or 
other routine purposes related to a project funded by the grant 
or contract.
  (d) Any person awarded a grant or contract funded by amounts 
appropriated by this Act shall submit a statement to the 
Secretary of Commerce, the Attorney General, the Administrator, 
or the Director, as appropriate, certifying that no funds 
derived from the grant or contract will be made available 
through a subcontract or in any other manner to another person 
who has a financial interest in the person awarded the grant or 
contract.
  (e) The provisions of the preceding subsections of this 
section shall take effect 30 days after the date on which the 
Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in 
consultation with the Director of the Office of Government 
Ethics, determines that a uniform set of rules and 
requirements, substantially similar to the requirements in such 
subsections, consistently apply under the executive branch 
ethics program to all Federal departments, agencies, and 
entities.
  Sec. 520. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
available under this Act may be used to issue patents on claims 
directed to or encompassing a human organism.
  Sec. 521. None of the funds made available in this Act shall 
be used in any way whatsoever to support or justify the use of 
torture by any official or contract employee of the United 
States Government.
  Sec. 522. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or 
treaty, none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
available under this Act or any other Act may be expended or 
obligated by a department, agency, or instrumentality of the 
United States to pay administrative expenses or to compensate 
an officer or employee of the United States in connection with 
requiring an export license for the export to Canada of 
components, parts, accessories or attachments for firearms 
listed in Category I, section 121.1 of title 22, Code of 
Federal Regulations (International Trafficking in Arms 
Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it existed on April 1, 2005) 
with a total value not exceeding $500 wholesale in any 
transaction, provided that the conditions of subsection (b) of 
this section are met by the exporting party for such articles.
  (b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export 
license--
          (1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any 
        Shipper's Export Declaration or notification letter 
        required by law, or from being otherwise eligible under 
        the laws of the United States to possess, ship, 
        transport, or export the articles enumerated in 
        subsection (a); and
          (2) does not permit the export without a license of--
                  (A) fully automatic firearms and components 
                and parts for such firearms, other than for end 
                use by the Federal Government, or a Provincial 
                or Municipal Government of Canada;
                  (B) barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or 
                complete breech mechanisms for any firearm 
                listed in Category I, other than for end use by 
                the Federal Government, or a Provincial or 
                Municipal Government of Canada; or
                  (C) articles for export from Canada to 
                another foreign destination.
  (c) In accordance with this section, the District Directors 
of Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or 
temporary export without a license of any unclassified articles 
specified in subsection (a) to Canada for end use in Canada or 
return to the United States, or temporary import of Canadian-
origin items from Canada for end use in the United States or 
return to Canada for a Canadian citizen.
  (d) The President may require export licenses under this 
section on a temporary basis if the President determines, upon 
publication first in the Federal Register, that the Government 
of Canada has implemented or maintained inadequate import 
controls for the articles specified in subsection (a), such 
that a significant diversion of such articles has and continues 
to take place for use in international terrorism or in the 
escalation of a conflict in another nation. The President shall 
terminate the requirements of a license when reasons for the 
temporary requirements have ceased.
  Sec. 523. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no 
department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States 
receiving appropriated funds under this Act or any other Act 
shall obligate or expend in any way such funds to pay 
administrative expenses or the compensation of any officer or 
employee of the United States to deny any application submitted 
pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B) and qualified pursuant to 
27 CFR section 478.112 or .113, for a permit to import United 
States origin ``curios or relics'' firearms, parts, or 
ammunition.
  Sec. 524. None of the funds made available in this Act may be 
used to include in any new bilateral or multilateral trade 
agreement the text of--
          (1) paragraph 2 of article 16.7 of the United States-
        Singapore Free Trade Agreement;
          (2) paragraph 4 of article 17.9 of the United States-
        Australia Free Trade Agreement; or

  Sec. 301. Contract Competition. (a) None of the funds in this 
or any other appropriations Act for fiscal year 2008 or any 
previous fiscal year may be used to make payments for a 
noncompetitive management and operating contract, or a contract 
for environmental remediation or waste management in excess of 
$100,000,000 in annual funding at a current or former 
management and operating contract site or facility, or award a 
significant extension or expansion to an existing management 
and operating contract, or other contract covered by this 
section, unless such contract is awarded using competitive 
procedures or the Secretary of Energy grants, on a case-by-case 
basis, a waiver to allow for such a deviation. The Secretary 
may not delegate the authority to grant such a waiver.
  (b) The term ``competitive procedures'' has the meaning 
provided in section 4 of the Office of Federal Procurement 
Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 403) and includes procedures described in 
section 303 of the Federal Property and Administrative Services 
Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 253) other than a procedure that 
solicits a proposal from only one source.
  (c) Within 30 days of formally notifying an incumbent 
contractor that the Secretary intends to grant such a waiver, 
the Secretary shall submit to the Subcommittees on Energy and 
Water Development of the Committees on Appropriations of the 
House of Representatives and the Senate a report notifying the 
Subcommittees of the waiver and setting forth, in specificity, 
the substantive reasons why the Secretary believes the 
requirement for competition should be waived for this 
particular award.
  Sec. 302. Unfunded Requests for Proposals. None of the funds 
appropriated by this Act may be used to prepare or initiate

makes a user facility available to universities or other 
potential users, or seeks input from universities or other 
potential users regarding significant characteristics or 
equipment in a user facility or a proposed user facility, the 
Department shall ensure broad public notice of such 
availability or such need for input to universities and other 
potential users. When the Department of Energy considers the

otherwise provided by law in effect as of the date of this Act 
or unless a rate is specifically set by an Act of Congress 
thereafter, the Administrators of the Southeastern Power 
Administration, the Southwestern Power Administration, and the

yield rate shall be defined as the average yield during the 
preceding fiscal year on interest-bearing marketable securities 
of the United States which, at the time the computation is 
made, have terms of 15 years or more remaining to maturity.

                advantage for a proposal that would reduce 
                costs for the Federal Government by--
                          (i) not making an employer-sponsored 
                        health insurance plan available to the

                        employer-sponsored health benefits plan 
                        that requires the employer to 
                        contribute less towards the premium or 
                        subscription share than the amount that

                        retirement benefit that in any year 
                        costs less than the annual retirement 
                        cost factor applicable to Federal 
                        employees under chapter 84 of title 5,

  Sec. 401. The expenditure of any appropriation under this Act 
for any consulting service through procurement contract, 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109, shall be limited to those contracts

  Sec. 402. No part of any appropriation contained in this Act 
shall be available for any activity or the publication or 
distribution of literature that in any way tends to promote 
public support or opposition to any legislative proposal on 
which Congressional action is not complete other than to 
communicate to Members of Congress as described in 18 U.S.C. 
1913.
  Sec. 403. No part of any appropriation contained in this Act 
shall remain available for obligation beyond the current fiscal 
year unless expressly so provided herein.
  Sec. 404. None of the funds provided in this Act to any 
department or agency shall be obligated or expended to provide

officer or employee of such department or agency except as 
otherwise provided by law.
  Sec. 405. Estimated overhead charges, deductions, reserves or 
holdbacks from programs, projects, activities and subactivities 
to support government-wide, departmental, agency or bureau

prepare, or offer for sale timber from trees classified as

National Forest System or Bureau of Land Management lands in a 
manner different than such sales were conducted in fiscal year 
2006.
  Sec. 408. (a) Limitation of Funds.--None of the funds 
appropriated or otherwise made available pursuant to this Act 
shall be obligated or expended to accept or process 
applications for a patent for any mining or mill site claim 
located under the general mining laws.
  (b) Exceptions.--The provisions of subsection (a) shall not 
apply if the Secretary of the Interior determines that, for the 
claim concerned: (1) a patent application was filed with the 
Secretary on or before September 30, 1994; and (2) all 
requirements established under sections 2325 and 2326 of the 
Revised Statutes (30 U.S.C. 29 and 30) for vein or lode claims 
and sections 2329, 2330, 2331, and 2333 of the Revised Statutes 
(30 U.S.C. 35, 36, and 37) for placer claims, and section 2337 
of the Revised Statutes (30 U.S.C. 42) for mill site claims, as 
the case may be, were fully complied with by the applicant by 
that date.
  (c) Report.--On September 30, 2008, the Secretary of the 
Interior shall file with the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations and the Committee on Resources of the House of

of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 1997 (Public Law 104-208).
  (d) Mineral Examinations.--In order to process patent 
applications in a timely and responsible manner, upon the

shall allow the applicant to fund a qualified third-party 
contractor to be selected by the Bureau of Land Management to 
conduct a mineral examination of the mining claims or mill 
sites contained in a patent application as set forth in

Law 110-5) for payments for contract support costs associated

subparagraph 6(f)(5)(A) of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable 
Resources Planning Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 1604(f)(5)(A)) solely 
because more than 15 years have passed without revision of the 
plan for a unit of the National Forest System. Nothing in this 
section exempts the Secretary from any other requirement of the 
Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act (16 
U.S.C. 1600 et seq.) or any other law: Provided, That if the 
Secretary is not acting expeditiously and in good faith, within 
the funding available, to revise a plan for a unit of the 
National Forest System, this section shall be void with respect 
to such plan and a court of proper jurisdiction may order 
completion of the plan on an accelerated basis.
  Sec. 411. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised if 
the indicated rate is deficit when appraised using a residual 
value approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western 
redcedar. Program accomplishments shall be based on volume 
sold. Should Region 10 sell, in the current fiscal year, the 
annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity 
called for in the current Tongass Land Management Plan in sales 
which are not deficit when appraised using a residual value 
approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western 
redcedar, all of the western redcedar timber from those sales 
which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska, 
shall be made available to domestic processors in the 
contiguous 48 United States at prevailing domestic prices. 
Should Region 10 sell, in the current fiscal year, less than 
the annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale 
quantity called for in the Tongass Land Management Plan in 
sales which are not deficit when appraised using a residual 
value approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western 
redcedar, the volume of western redcedar timber available to 
domestic processors at prevailing domestic prices in the 
contiguous 48 United States shall be that volume: (1) which is 
surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska; and (2) 
is that percent of the surplus western redcedar volume 
determined by calculating the ratio of the total timber volume 
which has been sold on the Tongass to the annual average 
portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in 
the current Tongass Land Management Plan. The percentage shall 
be calculated by Region 10 on a rolling basis as each sale is 
sold (for purposes of this amendment, a ``rolling basis'' shall 
mean that the determination of how much western redcedar is 
eligible for sale to various markets shall be made at the time 
each sale is awarded). Western redcedar shall be deemed 
``surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska'' when 
the timber sale holder has presented to the Forest Service 
documentation of the inability to sell western redcedar logs 
from a given sale to domestic Alaska processors at a price 
equal to or greater than the log selling value stated in the 
contract. All additional western redcedar volume not sold to 
Alaska or contiguous 48 United States domestic processors may 
be exported to foreign markets at the election of the timber 
sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be sold at prevailing 
export prices at the election of the timber sale holder.
  Sec. 412. No funds provided in this Act may be expended to 
conduct preleasing, leasing and related activities under either 
the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) or the Outer 
Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.) within the 
boundaries of a National Monument established pursuant to the 
Act of June 8, 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 et seq.) as such boundary 
existed on January 20, 2001, except where such activities are 
allowed under the Presidential proclamation establishing such 
monument.
  Sec. 413. In entering into agreements with foreign countries 
pursuant to the Wildfire Suppression Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 
1856m) the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the 
Interior are authorized to enter into reciprocal agreements in 
which the individuals furnished under said agreements to 
provide wildfire services are considered, for purposes of tort 
liability, employees of the country receiving said services 
when the individuals are engaged in fire suppression: Provided, 
That the Secretary of Agriculture or the Secretary of the 
Interior shall not enter into any agreement under this 
provision unless the foreign country (either directly or 
through its fire organization) agrees to assume any and all 
liability for the acts or omissions of American firefighters 
engaged in firefighting in a foreign country: Provided further, 
That when an agreement is reached for furnishing fire fighting 
services, the only remedies for acts or omissions committed 
while fighting fires shall be those provided under the laws of 
the host country, and those remedies shall be the exclusive 
remedies for any claim arising out of fighting fires in a 
foreign country: Provided further, That neither the sending 
country nor any legal organization associated with the 
firefighter shall be subject to any legal action whatsoever 
pertaining to or arising out of the firefighter's role in fire 
suppression.
  Sec. 414. In awarding a Federal contract with funds made 
available by this Act, notwithstanding Federal Government 
procurement and contracting laws, the Secretary of Agriculture 
and the Secretary of the Interior (the ``Secretaries'') may, in 
evaluating bids and proposals, give consideration to local 
contractors who are from, and who provide employment and 
training for, dislocated and displaced workers in an 
economically disadvantaged rural community, including those 
historically timber-dependent areas that have been affected by 
reduced timber harvesting on Federal lands and other forest-
dependent rural communities isolated from significant 
alternative employment opportunities: Provided, That 
notwithstanding Federal Government procurement and contracting 
laws the Secretaries may award contracts, grants or cooperative 
agreements to local non-profit entities, Youth Conservation 
Corps or related partnerships with State, local or non-profit 
youth groups, or small or micro-business or disadvantaged 
business: Provided further, That the contract, grant, or 
cooperative agreement is for forest hazardous fuels reduction, 
watershed or water quality monitoring or restoration, wildlife 
or fish population monitoring, or habitat restoration or 
management: Provided further, That the terms ``rural 
community'' and ``economically disadvantaged'' shall have the 
same meanings as in section 2374 of Public Law 101-624: 
Provided further, That the Secretaries shall develop guidance 
to implement this section: Provided further, That nothing in 
this section shall be construed as relieving the Secretaries of 
any duty under applicable procurement laws, except as provided 
in this section.

          (2) None of the funds made available by this or any 
        other Act may be used in fiscal year 2008 for 
        competitive sourcing studies and any related activities 
        involving Forest Service personnel.
  (b) Competitive Sourcing Study Defined.--In this section, the

Federal Government employees or the work performed by such 
employees to private contractor performance under the Office of 
Management and Budget Circular A-76 or any other administrative 
regulation, directive, or policy.
  (c) Competitive Sourcing Exemption for Forest Service Studies 
Conducted Prior to Fiscal Year 2006.--The Forest Service is 
hereby exempted from implementing the Letter of Obligation and 
post-competition accountability guidelines where a competitive 
sourcing study involved 65 or fewer full-time equivalents, the 
performance decision was made in favor of the agency provider, 
no net savings was achieved by conducting the study, and the 
study was completed prior to the date of this Act.
  (d) In preparing any reports to the Committees on 
Appropriations on competitive sourcing activities, agencies 
funded in this Act shall include all costs attributable to 
conducting the competitive sourcing competitions and staff work 
to prepare for competitions or to determine the feasibility of 
starting competitions, including costs attributable to paying 
outside consultants and contractors and, in accordance with 
full cost accounting principles, all costs attributable to 
developing, implementing, supporting, managing, monitoring, and

consultant, travel, and training costs associated with program 
management.

        management activities; and
          (2) take into consideration the effect that 
        contracting with a private sector source would have on 
        the ability of the Department of the Interior to 
        effectively and efficiently fight and manage wildfires.

  (b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit

                administrative duty, if requested by the 
                prosecutor, those members of the Armed Forces, 
                of whatever rank, who, according to the 
                Minister of Defense, the Attorney General or 
                the Procuraduria General de la Nacion, have 
                been credibly alleged to have committed gross 
                violations of human rights, including extra-
                judicial killings, or to have aided or abetted

                Armed Forces, of whatever rank, who have been 
                credibly alleged to have committed gross 
                violations of human rights, including extra-

                  (D) The Colombian Armed Forces have taken all 
                necessary steps to sever links (including 
                denying access to military intelligence, 
                vehicles, and other equipment or supplies, and 
                ceasing other forms of active or tacit

                organizations or successor armed groups, 
                especially in regions where such organizations 
                have a significant presence.
                  (E) The Government of Colombia is dismantling 
                paramilitary leadership and financial networks 
                by arresting and prosecuting under civilian 
                criminal law individuals who have provided 
                financial, planning, or logistical support, or 
                have otherwise aided or abetted paramilitary 
                organizations or successor armed groups; by 
                identifying and seizing land and other assets 
                illegally acquired by such organizations or 
                their associates and returning such land or 
                assets to their rightful occupants or owners; 
                by revoking reduced sentences for demobilized 
                paramilitaries who engage in new criminal 
                activity; and by arresting and prosecuting 
                under civilian criminal law, and when 
                requested, promptly extraditing to the United 
                States members of successor armed groups.
                  (F) The Government of Colombia is ensuring 
                that the Colombian Armed Forces are not 
                violating the land and property rights of 
                Colombia's indigenous and Afro-Colombian 
                communities, and that the Colombian Armed 
                Forces are implementing procedures to 
                distinguish between civilians, including 
                displaced persons, and combatants in their 
                operations.
          (3) The balance of such funds may be obligated after 
        July 31, 2008, if, before such date, the Secretary of 
        State consults with, and submits a written 
        certification to, the Committees on Appropriations that 
        the Colombian Armed Forces are continuing to meet the 
        requirements described in paragraph (2) and are 
        conducting vigorous operations to restore civilian 
        government authority and respect for human rights in 
        areas under the effective control of paramilitary 
        organizations or successor armed groups and guerrilla 
        organizations.

        withhold funds from obligation shall not apply with 
        respect to funds made available under the heading 
        ``Andean Counterdrug Programs'' for continued support 
        for the Critical Flight Safety Program or for any 
        alternative development programs in Colombia 
        administered by the Bureau of International Narcotics 
        and Law Enforcement Affairs of the Department of State.
          (5) Report.--At the time the Secretary of State 
        submits certifications pursuant to paragraphs (1)(B) 
        and (3) of this subsection, the Secretary shall also 
        submit to the Committees on Appropriations a report 
        that contains, with respect to each such paragraph, a 
        detailed description of the specific actions taken by 
        both the Colombian Government and Colombian Armed 
        Forces which support each requirement of the 
        certification, and the cases or issues brought to the 
        attention of the Secretary, including through the 
        Department of State's annual Country Reports on Human 
        Rights Practices, for which the actions taken by the 
        Colombian Government or Armed Forces have been 
        determined by the Secretary of State to be inadequate.

date of enactment of this Act, and every 90 days thereafter

          PAYMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD REINVESTMENT CORPORATION

  For payment to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation for 
use in neighborhood reinvestment activities, as authorized by 
the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation Act (42 U.S.C. 8101-

  For an additional amount, $180,000,000 shall be made 
available until expended to the Neighborhood Reinvestment 
Corporation for mortgage foreclosure mitigation activities, 
under the following terms and conditions:
          (1) The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation 
        (``NRC''), shall make grants to counseling 
        intermediaries approved by the Department of Housing 
        and Urban Development (HUD) or the NRC (with match to 
        be determined by the NRC based on affordability and the 
        economic conditions of an area; a match also may be 
        waived by the NRC based on the aforementioned 
        conditions) to provide mortgage foreclosure mitigation 
        assistance primarily to states and areas with high 
        rates of defaults and foreclosures primarily in the sub 
        prime housing market to help eliminate the default and 
        foreclosure of mortgages of owner-occupied single-
        family homes that are at risk of such foreclosure. 
        Other than areas with high rates of defaults and 
        foreclosures, grants may also be provided to approved 
        counseling intermediaries based on a geographic 
        analysis of the Nation by the NRC which determines 
        where there is a prevalence of sub prime mortgages that 
        are risky and likely to fail, including any trends for 
        mortgages that are likely to default and face 
        foreclosure. A State Housing Finance Agency may also be 
        eligible where the State Housing Finance Agency meets 
        all the requirements under this paragraph. A HUD- or 
        NRC-approved counseling intermediary shall meet certain 
        mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance counseling 
        requirements, as determined by the NRC, and shall be 
        approved by HUD or the NRC as meeting these 
        requirements;
          (2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance shall 
        only be made available to homeowners of owner-occupied 
        homes with mortgages in default or in danger of 
        default. These mortgages shall likely be subject to a 
        foreclosure action and homeowners will be provided such 
        assistance that shall consist of activities that are 
        likely to prevent foreclosures and result in the long-
        term affordability of the mortgage retained pursuant to 
        such activity or another positive outcome for the 
        homeowner. No funds made available under this paragraph 
        may be provided directly to lenders or homeowners to 
        discharge outstanding mortgage balances or for any 
        other direct debt reduction payments;
          (3) The use of Mortgage Foreclosure Mitigation 
        Assistance by approved counseling intermediaries and 
        State Housing Finance Agencies shall involve a 
        reasonable analysis of the borrower's financial 
        situation, an evaluation of the current value of the 
        property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling 
        regarding the assumption of the mortgage by another 
        non-federal party, counseling regarding the possible 
        purchase of the mortgage by a non-federal third party, 
        counseling and advice of all likely restructuring and 
        refinancing strategies or the approval of a work-out 
        strategy by all interested parties;
          (4) NRC shall award $50,000,000 in mortgage 
        foreclosure mitigation grants for States and areas with 
        the greatest needs within 60 days of enactment. 
        Additional funds may be awarded once the NRC certifies 
        that HUD- or NRC-approved counseling intermediaries and 
        State Housing Finance Agencies have the need for 
        additional funds in states and areas with high rates of 
        mortgage foreclosures, defaults, or related activities 
        and the expertise to use these funds effectively. The 
        NRC may provide up to fifteen percent of the total 
        funds under this paragraph to its own charter members 
        with expertise in foreclosure prevention counseling, 
        subject to a certification by the NRC that the 
        procedures for selection do not consist of any 
        procedures or activities that could be construed as an 
        unacceptable conflict of interest or have the 
        appearance of impropriety;
          (5) NRC- or HUD-approved counseling entities and 
        State Housing Finance Agencies receiving funds under 
        this paragraph shall have demonstrated experience in 
        successfully working with financial institutions as 
        well as borrowers facing default, delinquency and 
        foreclosure as well as documented counseling capacity, 
        outreach capacity, past successful performance and 
        positive outcomes with documented counseling plans 
        (including post mortgage foreclosure mitigation 
        counseling), loan workout agreements and loan 
        modification agreements;
          (6) Of the total amount made available under this 
        paragraph, up to $5,000,000 may be made available to 
        build the mortgage foreclosure and default mitigation 
        counseling capacity of counseling intermediaries 
        through NRC training courses with HUD- or NRC-approved 
        counseling intermediaries and their partners, except 
        that private financial institutions that participate in 
        NRC training shall pay market rates for such training;
          (7) Of the total amount made available under this 
        paragraph, up to 4 percent may be used for associated 
        administrative expenses for the NRC to carry-out 
        activities provided under this section;
          (8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance may 
        include a budget for outreach and advertising, as 
        determined by the NRC; and
          (9) The NRC shall report bi-annually to the House and 
        Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the 
        Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services 
        Committee on its efforts to mitigate mortgage default. 
        Such reports shall identify successful strategies and 
        methods for preserving homeownership and the long-term 
        affordability of at-risk mortgages and shall include 
        recommended efforts that will or likely can assist in 
        the success of this program as well as an analysis of 
        any policy and procedures that failed to result in 
        successful mortgage foreclosure mitigation. The report 
        shall include an analysis of the details and use of any 
        post mitigation counseling of assisted borrowers 
        designed to ensure the continued long-term 
        affordability of the mortgages which were the subject 
        of the mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance.
