                     Honoring Stewardship Responsibilities

        The primary responsibility of the Subcommittee on Interior,
    Environment and Related Agencies is to provide adequate
    resources to meet Federal stewardship obligations and to help
    protect the environment. These obligations span a wide range of
    needs. Among them are fulfilling our moral and treaty
    obligations to Native American communities, protecting the
    natural and historic heritage of the country, and preserving
    the biodiversity of the flora and fauna of the American
    landscape. These duties also include providing the resources to
    ensure that our air and water are clean and safe, and that the
    energy and other natural resources on public lands entrusted to
    the American people are utilized to meet their needs in an
    environmentally responsible way. Fortunately, the funding
    proposed by the President recognizes the importance of these
    responsibilities. The 2010 request was more than $6.5 billion
    above the prior year request. The majority of this increase
    went to clean and safe drinking water infrastructure,
    restoration of the Great Lakes, climate change, wildfire
    suppression and Native American health and law enforcement. The
    Committee recommendation sustains most of these long overdue
    increases.
        These significant increases are in addition to the funds
    provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
    (ARRA) of 2009. For the agencies and programs funded through
    this bill, that Act included $10.95 billion, which represented
    a significant boost for many programs above the amount
    appropriated annually. ARRA included $6 billion for the Clean
    Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (SRF), which
    provide investment for more than 2,300 infrastructure projects
    nationwide. The ARRA also included more than $2 billion for the
    Department of the Interior, most of which funded long delayed
    construction projects and deferred maintenance. The Forest
    Service received over $1.1 billion for infrastructure and
    wildfire prevention, to help reduce the deferred maintenance
    backlog and the impacts of future wildfires.
        A summary of the significant issues addressed by the
    Committee in this bill and accompanying report follows.

                            NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAMS

        In past years, the Committee has restored cuts and provided
    significant increases to programs that directly impact the
    health, safety and well-being of American Indians and Alaska
    Natives. This year, the Committee is pleased that the
    Administration has provided historic increases to these
    programs, particularly to the Indian Health Service. The
    President's fiscal year 2010 budget requests more than $600
    million in increases for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the
    Indian Health Service, which the Committee has supported.
        The Committee remains concerned about the cultural, social
    and health-related impacts in Indian Country from domestic
    violence and substance abuse. Numerous Tribal leaders have
    testified before the Committee illustrating the problems in
    these areas and delineating the underlying problem of the lack
    of sufficient law enforcement to target these crimes. The
    Committee held an oversight hearing to discuss specific law
    enforcement needs and jurisdictional challenges that diminish
    Tribes' abilities to enforce laws and prosecute crimes.
        While the President's budget includes funds for these
    services, the Committee has provided additional resources to
    the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service to
    protect Native Americans and to assist and treat victims of
    crime and addiction. Within the BIA, the Committee has provided
    the requested increases for public safety and justice, as well
    as direction on methods to improve law enforcement and justice
    processes and increased collaboration with the Department of
    Justice. Additional direction on this issue is included in the
    report accompanying the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related
    Agencies Appropriations Act for 2010. The Committee has also
    provided an increase to the domestic violence and sexual
    assault prevention initiative within the Indian Health Service.
    This will enable the IHS to expand its existing programs and
    provide victim assistance in more communities.
        The Committee is concerned that the various Federal funding
    sources and grant programs for Native American programs are not
    well coordinated. For example, in the area of Tribal law
    enforcement, there are numerous competitive grant programs and
    direct funding sources which create a patchwork of funding
    opportunities that Tribes must navigate. The result is an ad
    hoc system where a particular Tribe might receive a grant to
    build a detention center but no funds to staff the facility.
    The Tribes might receive funds to purchase police vehicles but
    no funding to maintain them. There are similar examples of this
    issue in health care, housing, education, and other areas.
        The Committee encourages the Secretary of the Interior and
    the Secretary of Health and Human Services to work with other
    Federal Departments and agencies to streamline and coordinate
    grant programs and funding opportunities for Native American
    programs.

              Protection and Restoration of Our Great Water Bodies

        The United States has made significant strides in
    addressing water pollution. Our rivers no longer burn. More
    than 290 million Americans rely on the safety of tap water
    provided by public water systems that are subject to national
    drinking water standards. In fiscal year 2008, 92 percent of
    the U.S. population was served by community water systems with
    drinking water that met all applicable health-based drinking
    water standards. We swim and fish in rivers and lakes cleaner
    than those used by recent generations. But the task before us
    is still great. The reports from the Environmental Protection
    Agency are sobering.
        Up to 30 percent of streams have high levels of nitrogen,
    phosphorus, and excess sedimentation. More than 50 percent of
    the nation's lakes have fish exceeding the health-based tissue
    concentrations for mercury. Of particular concern to the
    Committee is the pressure placed on our critical coastal
    resources, which provide ecological, economic, cultural and
    aesthetic benefits and services. To begin to address this
    concern, the Committee has continued to fund an initiative
    begun two fiscal years ago to protect our great water bodies
    along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and around the Great
    Lakes.
        In this bill, the Committee has provided more than
    $660,000,000 to protect specific geographic bodies of water,
    including the request of $475,000,000 to restore the Great
    Lakes. The Committee includes these funds because our coastal
    areas are the most developed areas in the United States. This
    narrow fringe of land--only 17 percent of the total
    conterminous U.S. land area--is home to more than 53 percent of
    the nation's population. Between 1980 and 2003, the coastal
    population increased by 33 million people, causing increased
    density and pressure on coastal resources. Pollution in these
    water bodies threatens our environment, public health and the
    economy. For instance, the Gulf of Mexico, whose coastal areas
    contain half the wetlands in the U.S., accounted for over 40
    percent of all U.S. marine recreational fishing catch in 2006.
    But more than 30 years after the passage of the Clean Water
    Act, in 2008 the Gulf hypoxic zone was the second largest on
    record--larger than the State of Massachusetts.
        The Chesapeake Bay watershed, which covers 64,000 square
    miles, is growing in population by 170,000 people each year.
    Agriculture, wastewater treatment plants, and development are
    enormous threats to this ecosystem, which provides more than
    one-third of the nation's blue crab catch. The Great Lakes,
    whose watershed covers over 200,000 square miles, represent the
    largest freshwater system on earth, containing 84 percent of
    North America's fresh water. But the threats here are great, as
    runoff, waste from cities, and discharge from industrial sites
    are retained in these water bodies which have small outflow
    rates. Progress is complicated by the need to coordinate more
    than 140 different federal programs across two countries. In
    addition, between 2000 and 2020 the Puget Sound region will
    increase by 1.7 million people, putting more and more pressure
    on the hatcheries that have produced Pacific salmon for nearly
    130 years and increasing the stormwater problem that is already
    very serious.
        For these reasons, the Committee recommendation provides
    the largest increase ever to support continued efforts, in the
    face of growing pressures, to protect and restore our treasured
    ``Great Water Bodies.'' The bill includes $475,000,000 for the
    Great Lakes, including funds to implement the Great Lakes
    Legacy Act; $28,000,000 for the National Estuaries Grant
    Program, which will provide $1,000,000 for each of the 28
    National Estuaries named in law; and, $148,000,000 to protect
    and restore numerous water bodies from Long Island Sound to
    Puget Sound, from Lake Champlain to Lake Pontchartrain.
        In addition to these programs which directly benefit
    specific water bodies, the Committee has provided $3.9 billion
    for clean and safe drinking water infrastructure, an increase
    of $2.2 billion above the 2009 enacted level. These funds,
    which will provide more than 1,470 low interest loans to
    communities across America, will build projects to help
    American communities ensure that the water they use to fish,
    swim and drink is clean and safe. The bill language allows the
    state SRFs to use subsidies, such as negative interest loans,
    principal forgiveness or grants, in order to ensure that many
    rural, small and/or disadvantaged communities have access to
    the funds provided through this bill. In a few short months,
    through the 2009 Appropriations Act, the American Recovery and
    Reinvestment Act and the amounts recommended in this bill, this
    Committee has made the largest annual investment in clean water
    in recent American history.

                  GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE AND ADAPTATION

        The Committee and the Administration have invested
    significant resources to enhance the body of scientific
    knowledge of climate change and understand what steps agencies,
    land managers, and the Nation should take to begin adapting to
    a changing world. The Committee bill builds on efforts
    established in previous years, and on the substantial body of
    work done by scientists and managers supported by this Act. The
    Committee is encouraged by the steps the Administration is
    taking as reflected by their budget requests, especially at the
    Department of the Interior and the Environmental Protection
    Agency. The Committee also understands that it is essential to
    invest in fundamental and applied science and those
    applications that help prepare for changes to our natural and
    human-built environments. Accordingly, this bill focuses on
    support to science, especially at the U.S. Geological Survey,
    the Environmental Protection Agency, the Smithsonian
    Institution and the Forest Service research branch. Significant
    funding is also included for applied science and adaptation at
    the EPA, the Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service,
    Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. The Committee
    feels strongly that the Administration and the Congress must be
    accountable for real coordination and clear planning.
        A General Provision, Section 424, has been included to
    require the President to submit a report to the Appropriations
    Committees no later than 120 days after the fiscal year 2011
    budget is submitted describing in detail Federal obligations
    and ependitures for climate change programs and activities in
    fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010.

    Environmental protection

        The Committee continues to support EPA's many efforts to
    address climate change. Funding for its voluntary climate
    change programs, such as Energy Star and SmartWay, are
    continued through this bill. This Committee has long supported,
    and often increased above the request, the Agency's Clean
    Automotive Technology Program, which develops cost-effective
    advanced clean and low greenhouse gas emitting engines and
    hybrid technologies. It was this Committee which first directed
    the Agency to develop the Greenhouse Gas Registry, which will
    result in the collection of accurate and comprehensive
    emissions data to better inform public policy. Last year in
    response to a request that ignored the Agency's
    responsibilities under the Energy Independence and Security
    Act, the Committee provided the funds needed for the Agency to
    begin the renewable fuels regulations. Initiated by this
    Committee in fiscal year 2009, grants now are available to
    local governments to develop and implement their own climate
    change initiatives. This bill supports and enhances all of
    these programs and also provides the increases needed for EPA
    to better manage these programs.

    Public lands and wildlife conservation

        Last year the Committee directed the Secretary of the
    Interior, with the assistance of the USGS National Climate
    Change and Wildlife Science Center and a science advisory
    board, to initiate development of a national strategy to assist
    fish, wildlife, plants, and associated ecological processes in
    becoming more resilient, adapting to, and surviving the impacts
    of climate change. The Committee is encouraged by early steps
    the Administration is taking, but it is imperative that efforts
    move forward in a coordinated and strategic fashion among all
    parties. It is essential that this effort include appropriate
    parties throughout the Federal government and that it include
    consultation with State agencies, Territories, Tribes,
    scientists, and stakeholders, and include notice to the public
    and opportunity for comment.
        The Committee is particularly concerned that funding has
    been requested by a number of agencies for large-scale planning
    efforts in response to climate change. As the Departments of
    Agriculture and Interior proceed in developing a climate change
    strategy and delineating regional or landscape boundaries for
    fish and wildlife conservation, they must ensure that there is
    integration, coordination, and public accountability to ensure
    efficiency and avoid duplication. These efforts must be
    coordinated with State and Tribal natural resource conservation
    agencies and the State Wildlife Action Plans and integrated
    with existing conservation programs such as joint ventures,
    habitat conservation plans, forest plans, and other
    conservation efforts. The Committee looks forward to receiving
    a timeline and a blueprint for the completion of the ongoing
    national strategic planning effort, as well as regular updates
    as progress is made.
        The Committee is also very concerned that the request,
    particularly for the Department of the Interior, included many
    new offices and organizational structures for agencies to
    respond to climate change. Contrary to the request to expand
    offices and organizational structure, implementation of
    landscape scale planning in response to climate change offers
    an opportunity to consolidate science, management and support
    service offices. The Committee directs the Department to
    provide recommendations for implementing regional-landscape
    approaches and consolidating support services within 180 days
    of enactment of this Act. Information on the initial
    investments needed to achieve these goals, the impacts on
    organizations, personnel and potential cost efficiencies should
    be included in this report.

                            WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

        The recent increases in the length and severity of wildfire
    seasons have been accompanied by exponential increases in the
    cost of wildland fire suppression. The Committee has invested
    considerable time and resources on the issue of wildland fire
    management in the United States which was the focus of multiple
    hearings for fiscal year 2010. Expert testimony clearly
    indicates that weather conditions are more severe, wildfire
    behavior is more intense, and even the most advanced methods of
    fire suppression sometimes have little ability to slow or stop
    fire spread. A decade ago there were rarely more than 5 million
    acres burned in a year, and total suppression costs averaged
    $200 million. In recent fire seasons 6 to 8 million acres burn
    a year with Federal suppression costs over $2 billion in a
    single year.
        These extreme costs are driven by a few mega-fires, which
    utilize enormous amounts of personnel, aircraft, and equipment.
    Drought conditions, low fuel moistures, and/or high winds allow
    these fires to continue to grow, exhibiting extreme fire
    behavior for weeks at a time. Before the 1990's, it was unheard
    of to spend more than $10 million to fight a single fire. Now,
    in a single year, 30 to 40 individual events of that magnitude
    occur. The Committee understands that adequate emergency
    funding for wildfire suppression is important, but it is even
    more important to spend funds wisely on activities which can
    protect communities and natural resources from the impacts of
    extreme fires.
        The Committee has directed large funding increases for
    wildfire suppression and for activities that are known to
    reduce wildfire danger. The Committee believes, based on expert
    testimony and scientific analyses, that strategic fuel
    reduction, such as thinning and prescribed fire, will reduce
    the opportunities for extreme fire behavior and increase
    opportunities for successful fire suppression. Communities
    across the nation have implemented, and many more are working
    on, Community Wildfire Protection Plans designed to protect
    features local citizens deem worthy, such as infrastructure,
    housing, municipal watersheds, and wildlife habitat. The State
    Assessment and Resource Strategy plans required under the 2008
    Farm Bill will provide comprehensive analysis of the forest-
    related conditions, trends, threats, and opportunities within
    each State.
        The bill provides a total of $3.66 billion for all the
    wildland fire management accounts and the new suppression
    contingency accounts within the Forest Service and the
    Department of the Interior. The total funding for all wildfire
    suppression accounts is $1,855,302,000, a 40 percent increase
    over the fiscal year 2009 funding level. This includes
    $357,000,000 for the new wildfire suppression contingency
    reserve accounts requested by the Administration. The bill
    provides $1,804,766,000 for the non-suppression accounts,
    including $983,452,000 for preparedness and $611,175,000 for
    hazardous fuels reduction. This latter value is $80,036,000
    above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $90,801,000 above
    the request, a 17.5 percent increase over the request. The bill
    also increases State fire assistance by $37,000,000 to a total
    of $80,000,000 within the wildland fire account, which will
    greatly enhance the Federal/State wildfire partnership. These
    large investments, coupled with the $500,000,000 provided in
    the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for similar
    activities, will help to reduce the extent of future wildfires
    and potential damage to communities and the environment.

                                LAND ACQUISITION

        The Committee believes that land acquisition is a vital
    tool in conserving wildlife and habitat, providing cultural,
    historic and recreationally valuable areas, producing vital
    commodities such as timber, oil, gas, and minerals, and
    preserving open space for future generations. The Committee
    also believes that third-party involvement in land acquisition
    from local, regional, and national land trusts has been
    critical in preserving these lands for future generations and
    maintaining resilient natural systems in light of climate
    change. The Committee does, however, have concerns about the
    current processes in place for Federal land acquisition and has
    outlined these concerns below.
        National Land Acquisition Strategies and Priority
    Setting.--The Committee is concerned that the agencies are not
    following, and in some cases do not have a national strategy or
    strategic goals for land acquisition to guide their efforts.
    Further, given the reality of climate change and the need to
    adapt and mitigate its effects, the potential for changing
    habitats, coastal inundation, and shifts in species ranges
    should be important factors in acquiring lands in the future.
        The Committee directs the Federal land management agencies
    in the Department of the Interior and the Department of
    Agriculture to define national strategies and goals for
    acquiring land and how current and future acquisitions
    compliment these goals and the mission of each agency. This
    should include the current processes and systems for nominating
    and setting priorities at the State, regional and national
    level and how these priorities contribute to national goals and
    the underlying mission of each agency. The agencies should
    integrate the acquisition strategies into their ongoing efforts
    to implement landscape-level conservation and climate change
    adaptation and mitigation. The Departments should report to the
    Committee on progress in developing land acquisition strategies
    within 120 days of enactment of this Act.
        The Committee is concerned that the Forest Service's budget
    request did not compliment the Department of the Interior's
    request and did not reflect a unified policy and interest in
    Federal land acquisition. In fact, the Federal land acquisition
    activity was reduced by almost half, and the request provided
    no funding for inholdings and wilderness protection. The
    Committee feels strongly that if the Administration proposes
    initiatives and policy changes for the Nation's Federal public
    lands, the Forest Service must be included in these
    initiatives.
        Inholdings.--The Committee is aware that there is an
    increasing threat of development of parcels within the
    boundaries of our public lands, national wildlife refuges,
    national parks and national forests. The Committee directs the
    agencies to use inholdings funding to acquire high priority
    lands that are immediately threatened by development and are
    partially or entirely bordered by land currently owned by the
    Federal government. The agencies should report to the
    Committees on the lands acquired by these funds as part of
    their annual budget submissions.
        Land Acquisition Appraisals.--Consistent with the
    recommendations of GAO and the OIG at the time, in 2003 the
    Secretary of the Interior consolidated the appraisal functions
    of the three Departmental land management agencies. Both GAO
    and the OIG have since documented that this improved the
    objectivity and quality of appraisals. Nevertheless, numerous
    problems exist that are an unacceptable barrier to
    communications, collaboration, and acquisition of lands for
    protection of our public lands, national wildlife refuges and
    national parks. Among the issues that appear to be causing this
    are loss of realty expertise in the bureaus, undue delays in
    the contracting of appraisals, and hesitancy to share
    information on the status of the appraisals with landowners.
    These issues have resulted in lost opportunities of key
    acquisitions, strained partnerships with non-profit land
    organizations, and reduced public faith in the federal
    government's commitment to land protection. The Committee
    directs the Department to revisit the appraisal services
    consolidation, to reconsider alternative organizational
    proposals, and to streamline the process so that appraisals,
    and ultimately, acquisitions, are completed in a timely manner
    while following all applicable guidelines and regulations. The
    Committee directs the Department to report back to the
    Committee no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act on
    its progress in improving the appraisal process.
        Land Exchanges.--The Committee is concerned that the land
    exchange process among the Federal land management agencies,
    particularly in the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest
    Service needs improvement. A forthcoming Government
    Accountability Office report (GAO-09-611) following up on
    problems identified in the past audits of the land exchange
    programs contains a number of significant findings and
    recommendations that the agencies should seriously consider.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of the Interior and the
    Secretary of Agriculture to ensure that decisions regarding
    land exchanges are fully documented and carefully reviewed by
    national, or in the case of Forest Service, regional review
    teams with adequate oversight from agency headquarters
    officials. Further, the agencies should clearly define third-
    party facilitators and consistently apply disclosure policies
    to them. The agencies should ensure that land exchange staffs
    are adequately trained before handling exchanges and should
    track the costs of processing individual land exchanges. The
    agencies should address GAO's other recommendations including
    clarifying the retention policy for key exchange documents,
    improving BLM's management of ledgers to track value imbalances
    in multiphase exchanges, and developing a national land tenure
    strategy.

                   TERMINATIONS, REDUCTIONS AND OTHER SAVINGS

        In order to invest in the critical priorities identified in
    this bill, and in order to contribute to the Nation's future
    prosperity, the Committee has proposed a number of program
    terminations, reductions, and other savings from the fiscal
    year 2009 level totaling over $320 million. In addition, over
    $300 million in program terminations, reductions, and other
    savings from the budget request are recommended. These
    adjustments, no matter their size, are important to setting the
    right priorities within the spending allocation, for
    controlling the deficit, and creating a government that is as
    efficient as it is effective.

                            REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

        The following reprogramming guidelines apply to funding
    provided in the accompanying Act providing appropriations for
    the Department of the Interior, Environment and Related
    Agencies. These guidelines are substantively the same as those
    promulgated for fiscal year 2009, with minor technical updates.
    The Committee expects that these guidelines will be strictly
    adhered to by the agencies.
        1. Definitions.--(a) The term ``reprogramming,'' as defined
    in these procedures, is the administrative process for
    reallocating funds from one budget activity to another after an
    appropriations bill has been enacted into law. For purposes of
    these guidelines the term ``budget activity'', sometimes
    referred to by the agencies as ``budget line-item'' or
    ``program area,'' means any program for which a specific
    appropriation level is specified in Committee reports including
    reports of a Committee of Conference. For construction and land
    acquisition accounts, a reprogramming constitutes the
    reallocation of all funds, including unobligated balances, from
    one construction or land acquisition project, which is
    individually identified in the justification or Committee
    report, to another such project. Beyond these specific
    requirements, a reprogramming also is defined as a budget
    change which represents any significant departure from the
    program described in the agency's budget justifications.
        2. General Guidelines for Reprogramming.--(a) A
    reprogramming should be made only when an unforeseen situation
    arises; and then only if postponement of the project or the
    activity until the next appropriation year would result in
    actual loss or damage.
        (b) Except under the most urgent situations, reprogramming
    should not be employed to initiate new programs or increase
    allocations specifically denied or limited by Congress, or to
    decrease allocations specifically increased by the Congress.
        (c) Reprogramming proposals submitted to the House and
    Senate Committees on Appropriations for approval shall be
    considered approved 30 calendar days after receipt if the
    Committees have posed no objection. However, agencies will be
    expected to extend the approval deadline if specifically
    requested by either Committee.
        3. Criteria and Exceptions.--A reprogramming must be
    submitted to the Committees in writing prior to implementation
    if it exceeds $1,000,000 annually or results in an increase or
    decrease of more than 10 percent annually in affected programs,
    with the following exceptions:
        (a) With regard to the Tribal priority allocations activity
    of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, there is no restriction on
    reprogrammings among these programs. However, the Bureau shall
    report on all reprogrammings made during a given fiscal year no
    later than 60 days after the end of the fiscal year.
        (b) With regard to the Environmental Protection Agency,
    State and Tribal Assistance Grants account, the Committee does
    not require reprogramming requests associated with States and
    Tribes Partnership Grants.
        (c) With regard to Department of the Interior or U.S.
    Forest Service construction projects, the threshold is
    $2,000,000 or 25 percent per project, except those
    reallocations that will result in a project cancellation or
    deferral must be submitted including projects funded in
    supplemental appropriations.
        4. Report Language.--Any limitation, directive, or
    earmarking contained in either the House or Senate report which
    is not contradicted by the other report nor specifically denied
    in the conference report shall be considered as having been
    approved by both Houses of Congress for purposes of these
    reprogramming guidelines.
        5. Assessments.--Increased assessments for centralized
    services or other purposes or new transfers of funds to
    contingency or reserve accounts which have not been described
    in the budget should be treated as reprogrammings if the
    amounts assessed or transferred exceed the thresholds.
        6. Land Acquisitions and Forest Legacy.--(a) Lands shall
    not be acquired for more than the approved appraised value (as
    addressed in section 301(3) of Public Law 91-646) except for
    condemnations and declarations of taking, unless such
    acquisitions are submitted to the Committees for approval in
    compliance with these procedures.
        (b) Subsection (a) does not apply to tracts with an
    appraised value of $1,000,000 or less.
        7. Land Exchanges.--Land exchanges, wherein the estimated
    value of the Federal lands to be exchanged is greater than
    $2,000,000, shall not be consummated until the Committees have
    had a 30-day period in which to examine the proposed exchange,
    and the Committee shall be provided advance notification of
    exchanges valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000.
        8. Sequestrations or Across-the-Board Reductions.--The
    definition of the term ``budget activity'' established by
    paragraph 1(a) of these instructions shall also be the
    definition of the level at which any general, across-the-board
    or sequestration related reductions mandated by law are to be
    applied to activities funded in any Interior, Environment and
    Related Agencies Appropriations bill.

                      TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                           Bureau of Land Management

        The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for the
    multiple use management, protection, and development of a full
    range of natural resources, including minerals, timber,
    rangeland, fish and wildlife habitat, and wilderness on about
    258 million acres of the Nation's public lands and for
    management of 700 million additional acres of Federally-owned
    subsurface mineral rights. The Bureau is the second largest
    supplier of public outdoor recreation in the Western United
    States. The Bureau's National Landscape Conservation System
    includes about 29 million acres of national monuments,
    conservation areas, wild and scenic rivers, national scenic and
    historic trails, and other areas that have received special
    recognition and protection through congressional or
    presidential conservation designations.
        The Committee recommendations for all BLM accounts are
    based on changes to the President's budget request. Unless
    otherwise stated, the Committee approves the items in the
    budget justification and supporting materials from the Bureau.
    The amounts recommended by the Committee for each Bureau of
    Land Management appropriation account, compared with the budget
    estimates by activity, are shown in the following table:

                       MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES

    Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................      $890,194,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       975,351,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       950,496,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +60,302,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................      -24,855,000

    *Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $950,496,000 for management of
    lands and resources, $60,302,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $24,855,000 below the budget request. The
    amounts recommended by the Committee compared with the budget
    estimates by activity and subactivity are shown in the table at
    the beginning of the Bureau of Land Management entry.
        The Committee recognizes several new initiatives in this
    request. The recommendation fully funds the renewable energy
    portion of the New Energy Frontier initiative and provides
    steady funding for the fossil energy programs. The Committee
    also fully funds the Climate Impacts initiative as discussed
    below. The Committee recommendation also fully funds the
    bureau's component of the 21st Century Youth Conservation Corps
    initiative with a $5,000,000 increase.
        Land Resources.--The Committee recommends $241,192,000 for
    land resources, $39,995,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $7,000,000 below the budget request. The Committee
    recommendation fully funds the climate impacts request of
    $15,000,000 and understands that about half of this will be
    utilized on National Landscape Conservation System lands. The
    Committee supports this effort, and expects that it will be
    implemented following further scientific evaluations and
    management planning. The Bureau should work closely with the
    U.S. Geological Survey, other Interior bureaus, the Forest
    Service, and State and local partners on this climate impact
    effort and provide the House and Senate Committees on
    Appropriations a report concerning the plans for use of these
    funds within 120 days of enactment. This coordination is
    discussed further in the front of this report.
        Within the funds provided for range management, the
    Committee designates $1,000,000 to help reduce the backlog in
    grazing permits. The Committee recognizes that the increasing
    numbers of permits expiring, increased costs for processing,
    and litigation, have resulted in a significant backlog and
    workload in processing permits. This funding should be targeted
    to those areas where litigation is causing significant delays.
        The recommendation includes $2,500,000 in the soil, water
    and air activity for the new youth initiative: these funds may
    be used in other activities if it enhances the new initiative.
    The Committee recommendation provides $60,486,000 for wild
    horse and burro management, $19,873,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 level and $7,000,000 below the budget request.
        Wildlife and Fisheries.--The Committee recommends
    $50,232,000 for wildlife and fisheries, $1,743,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $1,145,000 above the
    request. The increase above the request includes restoring
    $145,000 for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and
    $500,000 increases for both the wildlife base program and the
    plant conservation program within wildlife management.
        Threatened and Endangered Species.--The Committee
    recommends $22,112,000 for threatened and endangered species as
    requested, $399,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
    The Committee encourages the Bureau to increase its efforts
    toward recovery of listed plant and animal species and take
    conservation action on Bureau-managed lands and waters for at-
    risk species and ecosystems so the need for listing is
    prevented.
        Recreation Management.--The Committee recommends
    $67,692,000 for recreation management as requested, $3,954,000
    above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The Committee
    recommendation fully funds the new youth initiative. These
    funds may be used in other activities if it enhances the new
    initiative. The recommendation maintains funding for the
    various national scenic and historic trails.
        The Committee encourages the BLM to comply with the
    provisions of the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and
    Protection Act and allow landowner, lessee and inholder access
    to their property within the boundary of the Steens Mountain
    Cooperative Management and Protection Area. Unless funding is
    provided for land acquisition or exchanges, landowners should
    be afforded full access to their property.
        Energy and Minerals.--The Committee recommends $89,689,000
    for energy and minerals, $9,724,000 below the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $21,000,000 below the budget request.
        The Committee recommended program level for oil, gas, and
    coal permitting and leasing and management activities,
    including the Application for a Permit to Drill (APD) fee and
    the off-budget, pilot offices permit processing fund, provides
    for all activities supported in the Administration request.
        The Committee recommendation includes the increased APD fee
    requested by the Administration, which yields $9,100,000 more
    than in fiscal year 2009. This cost recovery APD fee increases
    from $4,000 to $6,500 per permit, which is closer to the actual
    cost of issuing a permit.
        The Committee recommendation does not include the
    Administration request to amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005
    to stop the use of $21,000,000 in mandatory funds for the pilot
    oil and gas permitting offices. The Administration request had
    assumed a loss of this off-budget $21,000,000. The request made
    up for this reduction with an increase of $11,900,000 in
    discretionary funds in oil and gas management and the increased
    $9,100,000 from the APD fee. The Committee recommendation does
    not include the requested $11,900,000 increase. In addition,
    the Committee has decreased oil and gas management
    discretionary funds by $9,100,000, which is covered by the APD
    fee increase. When these discretionary, mandatory, and APD cost
    recovery receipts are considered, the overall Committee
    recommendation for oil and gas activities is the same as the
    budget request. The recommendation fully funds the request for
    a $2,500,000 increase for enhanced audit and compliance as part
    of the New Energy Frontier initiative.
        Realty and Ownership Management.--The Committee recommends
    $97,232,000 for realty and ownership management as requested,
    $17,167,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        The recommendation includes the entire request of
    $16,100,000 to increase BLM activities in support of the
    renewable energy initiative. The Committee expects that these
    funds will be used by a variety of BLM programs in support of
    this effort. The Committee is concerned that a rapid expansion
    of renewable energy projects should be done with care. The BLM
    should look for opportunities to mitigate potential adverse
    habitat impacts through the conservation and protection of
    native habitat and mitigation and rehabilitation with
    appropriate native plant materials. The BLM should provide the
    Committee a summary plan within 120 days that describes the
    policy, administrative and management-level actions that will
    be taken during the evaluation and approval processes for
    renewable energy development on Federal lands to ensure: (1)
    that biological resources are assessed at appropriate scales;
    (2) and to ensure that fish, wildlife, and plant populations
    are sustained over the long-term through proper project
    location, mitigation, operational standards, and monitoring.
        Resource Protection and Maintenance.--The Committee
    recommends $94,077,000 for resource protection and maintenance
    as requested, $1,526,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level. The Committee is concerned about the Bureau of Land
    Management decision to stop trash collection services in the
    Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, CA and expects BLM to
    restore trash pick-up services.
        Transportation and Facilities Maintenance.--The Committee
    recommends $73,155,000 for transportation and facilities
    maintenance as requested, $702,000 below the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.
        Land and Resource Information Systems.--The Committee
    recommends $16,754,000 for land and resource information
    systems as requested, $173,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.
        Mining Law Administration.--The Committee recommends
    $36,696,000 for mining law administration as requested,
    $2,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. Offsetting
    fees are equal to the amount made available to support this
    activity.
        Workforce and Organizational Support.--The Committee
    recommends $158,060,000 for workforce and organizational
    support as requested, $3,166,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.
        Challenge Cost Share.--The Committee recommends $9,500,000
    for the Bureau's challenge cost share program, the same as the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted funding level and the budget request.
        National Monuments and National Conservation Areas.--The
    Committee recommends $30,801,000 for National Monuments and
    National Conservation areas, $2,605,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $2,000,000 above the budget request. The
    Committee notes that the National Landscape Conservation System
    (NLCS) was recently authorized in Public Law 111-11. It
    comprises about 29 million acres, as much land as either the
    national park system or national wildlife refuge system manage
    in the lower 48 States. The Committee is encouraged by the BLM
    management of this new system of special public lands and
    accordingly has increased the base funding by $2,000,000. The
    Committee notes that additional funding for the NLCS is
    provided in other activities, such as wilderness,
    transportation, and the Oregon and California Grant Lands
    account. In addition, about half of the funds added for the new
    climate change initiative within the soil, air, and water
    management activity will be utilized on the NLCS lands.

        The Committee has included language on land acquisition in
    the front section of this report.

                       OREGON AND CALIFORNIA GRANT LANDS

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $109,949,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       111,557,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       111,557,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        +1,608,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0

        The Committee recommends $111,557,000 for the Oregon and
    California grant lands as requested, $1,608,000 above the 2009
    enacted level.

                   FOREST ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND RECOVERY FUND

                       (REVOLVING FUND, SPECIAL ACCOUNT)

        The Committee includes bill language, as in the past,
    allowing funds made available in the Forest Ecosystem Health
    and Recovery Fund to be used for various forestry purposes
    including planning, preparing, implementing and monitoring
    salvage timber sales and forest ecosystem restoration
    activities. This fund includes the Federal share of receipts
    derived from treatments funded by this account and deposited
    into this fund. The recommended bill language extends this
    authority through fiscal year 2015.

                               RANGE IMPROVEMENTS

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $10,000,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        10,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        10,000,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................                 0
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0

        The Committee recommends an indefinite appropriation of not
    less than $10,000,000 to be derived from public lands receipts
    and Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act lands grazing receipts.
    Receipts are used for construction, purchase, and maintenance
    of range improvements, such as seeding, fence construction,
    weed control, water development, fish and wildlife habitat
    improvement, and planning and design of these projects.

                   SERVICE CHARGES, DEPOSITS, AND FORFEITURES

        The Committee recommends an indefinite appropriation
    estimated to be $31,255,000 for service charges, deposits, and
    forfeitures as requested, a decrease of $2,566,000 from the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The Service Charges, Deposits,
    and Forfeitures appropriation is offset with fees collected
    under specified sections of the Federal Land Policy and
    Management Act of 1976 and other Acts to pay for reasonable
    administrative and other costs in connection with rights-of-way
    applications from the private sector, miscellaneous cost-
    recoverable realty cases, timber contract expenses, repair of
    damaged lands, the adopt-a-horse program, and the provision of
    copies of official public land documents.

                           MISCELLANEOUS TRUST FUNDS

        The Committee recommends an indefinite appropriation
    estimated to be $20,130,000, the same as the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and the budget request, for miscellaneous trust
    funds. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976
    provides for the receipt and expenditure of moneys received as
    donations or gifts (section 307). Funds in this trust fund are
    derived from the administrative and survey costs paid by
    applicants for conveyance of omitted lands (lands fraudulently
    or erroneously omitted from original cadastral surveys), from
    advances for other types of surveys requested by individuals,
    and from contributions made by users of Federal rangelands.
    Amounts received from the sale of Alaska town lots are also
    available for expenses of sale and maintenance of town sites.
    Revenue from unsurveyed lands, and surveys of omitted lands,
    administrative costs of conveyance, and gifts and donations
    must be appropriated before it can be used.

              ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS, BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

        The Committee recommendation includes the administrative
    provisions as requested.

                    United States Fish and Wildlife Service

        The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to
    conserve, protect and enhance fish and wildlife and their
    habitats for the continuing benefit of people. The Service has
    responsibility for migratory birds, threatened and endangered
    species, certain marine mammals, and land under Service
    control.
        The Service manages more than 150 million acres across the
    United States, encompassing a 550-unit National Wildlife Refuge
    System, additional wildlife and wetlands areas, and 70 National
    fish hatcheries. A network of law enforcement agents and port
    inspectors enforce Federal laws for the protection of fish and
    wildlife.

                              RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

    Appropriation enacted, 2009*....                          $1,140,962,000
    Budget estimate, 2010...........                           1,218,206,000
    Recommended, 2010...............                           1,248,756,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009.........                            +107,794,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.......                            +30,550,000

    *Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The amounts recommended by the Committee compared with the
    budget estimates by activity are shown in the following table:

        Ecological Services.--The Committee recommends $295,127,000
    for ecological services, $18,857,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    level and $4,050,000 above the budget request.
        Changes from the request include increases of $1,000,000
    for the candidate conservation program, $500,000 for the
    listing program, $1,200,000 for the coastal program, $500,000
    for whooping crane breeding facilities in Louisiana in the
    recovery program, $350,000 for Stellers and spectacled sea
    eider recovery in Alaska, and $500,000 for stream bank
    restoration in Georgia in the partners program.
        The Committee directs the Service to review the processes
    by which it reviews and determines the status of species. The
    Service should ensure the orderly and timely listing of any
    species warranting the protection of the Endangered Species Act
    while minimizing the use of the petition process. The Committee
    is concerned about the known backlog of candidate species that
    warrant listing proposals but for which that action has been
    precluded, in some cases for many years, by lack of sufficient
    resources. The Committee directs the Service to report on this
    issue, within 90 days of enactment. This report should identify
    mechanisms to coordinate efficiently and effectively with State
    fish and wildlife agencies, Indian Tribes, universities, and
    private organizations to identify species deserving protection
    under the Endangered Species Act.
        Within the funding provided for candidate conservation,
    $500,000 is provided for sage grouse conservation efforts in
    Idaho.
        The Committee supports the funding included in the request
    for aplomado falcon and California condor recovery. The Service
    is encouraged to continue to support these ongoing, successful
    recovery efforts.
        The Committee is concerned about increased mortality of
    bats in the northeastern United States from white nose syndrome
    and encourages the Service to work with the USGS to research
    the cause and extent of the problem and develop a mitigation
    plan.
        The Committee encourages the Service to work with the High
    Desert Partnership in Oregon on developing and implementing
    landscape-level conservation strategies.
        The Committee urges the Service to work with the Upper
    Susquehanna Coalition to help restore wetland habitat and
    improve water quality in the Upper Susquehanna River
    headwaters.
        National Wildlife Refuge System.--The Committee recommends
    $503,279,000 for the National Wildlife Refuge System,
    $40,420,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and $20,000,000
    above the budget request.
        Changes from the request include increases of $16,000,000
    for refuge wildlife and habitat management, $1,000,000 for
    volunteer programs in the visitor services program, $2,000,000
    for refuge law enforcement, $1,000,000 for conservation
    planning, $2,000,000 for annual maintenance and a decrease of
    $2,000,000 from deferred maintenance.
        The increased funding for wildlife and habitat should be
    used in conjunction with the refuge's workforce planning
    efforts to fill essential vacancies nationwide. The Service is
    directed to report to the Committee on the planned allocation
    of refuge system funding increases within 90 days of enactment
    of this Act.
        The Committee believes that the Service should adequately
    document, protect, and manage significant cultural resources on
    its lands. The 150 million acre refuge system contains numerous
    cultural resources that can be found nowhere else. An example
    of this is the ancient Chamorro cave art that must be protected
    at Guam National Wildlife Refuge. The Committee urges the
    Service to expand its work to document and protect the numerous
    cultural resources on its lands.
        The Committee remains concerned about the situation on the
    Southwestern Border and encourages the Service to direct a
    portion of the increase for refuge law enforcement to the
    Southwest.
        The Committee is supportive of the new Marine National
    Monument designations within the refuge system. However, the
    Committee is concerned that the Service is not dedicating
    sufficient resources to the management of the new areas.
    Further, the Committee understands that there are two recent
    shipwrecks within the monument that are jeopardizing delicate
    coral reefs in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National
    Monument. The Service should work with its partners to remove
    these ships before the damage to the coral reefs is
    irreversible.
        The Committee supports the enhancement of public access to
    the Hanford Reach National Monument and encourages the Service
    to employ cooperative agreements with local governments and
    organizations, and the use of private voluntary labor, to carry
    out projects and programs to improve public access to the
    Monument.
        Migratory Bird Management, Law Enforcement, and
    International Conservation.--The Committee recommends
    $133,593,000 for migratory bird management, law enforcement,
    and international conservation, $6,876,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level and $3,500,000 above the budget
    request.
        Changes to the request include increases of $500,000 for
    migratory bird management, $1,000,000 for law enforcement and
    $2,000,000 for international affairs.
        The increase for migratory birds is for the urban treaty
    program. The Committee is aware that there is a backlog of
    communities that have expressed interest in the program and
    encourages the Service to continue to support this program as a
    part of their youth in the outdoors initiative.
        The increase provided for law enforcement is for additional
    special agents to combat the growing trade in illegal wildlife.
    The number of special agents is alarmingly low, despite the
    fact that the trade in illegal wildlife and wildlife parts
    shows no signs of decreasing.
        Within the increase for international affairs, $2,000,000
    is for the Wildlife Without Borders program.
        The Committee is aware of the impacts of the Chytrid
    disease on amphibian species worldwide. Amphibian species are
    disappearing at over 200 times their historic rate, and if left
    unchecked, up to 30 percent of these species could be extinct
    within two to three decades. The Committee urges the Service to
    work with the international conservation community to establish
    conservation and captive breeding programs to conserve the most
    imperiled of these species.
        Fisheries.--The Committee recommends $144,195,000 for
    fisheries, $12,364,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level
    and $3,500,000 above the budget request.
        The changes to the request include increases of $1,000,000
    for the mass marking of fish in the Great Lakes, $1,000,000 to
    conduct scientific review of the Klamath, North Coast, and
    Central Valley hatchery operations in California, $1,300,000
    for the establishment of a fisheries resource office in West
    Virginia to focus on aquatic species restoration and management
    in the Appalachian Highlands region, and $200,000 for sea otter
    and Steller sea lion conservation in Alaska.
        The Service is directed to continue managing snakehead fish
    and determining the cause of cancer in bullhead catfish in the
    Potomac and South River watersheds.
        The Committee has increased funding for sea otters in
    Alaska and directs the Service to continue its ongoing
    conservation efforts for the southern sea otter. The Service is
    directed to report to the Committee on its conservation efforts
    and the funding distribution for both northern and southern sea
    otter conservation within 60 days of enactment of this Act.
        Climate Change Adaptive Science Capacity.--The Committee
    recommends $20,000,000, as requested for the new climate change
    adaptive science capacity activity.
        The Committee agrees with the concept set forward in the
    request on the need for applied science and landscape level
    conservation as climate changes. The Committee has included
    further language and direction on this issue in the front of
    this report.
        General Administration.--The Committee recommends
    $153,562,000 for general administration, $10,277,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $500,000 below the budget
    request.
        The changes to the request include increases of $500,000
    for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and a decrease of
    $1,000,000 from the National Conservation Training Center.
        The Committee notes that the Service designated the
    California/Nevada office as a separate region and acknowledges
    the reasons for doing so. However, the Committee feels that,
    given increasing overhead costs, rental costs and rising fuel
    costs for field stations, the Service should be taking steps to
    reduce the overall number of offices and streamline the
    activities associated with these offices to the maximum extent
    possible.
        The Service has successfully achieved a model for cross
    servicing administrative functions between regional offices
    with the addition of the California/Nevada region, which relies
    on the support functions provided by the Northwest region. The
    Committee directs the Service to provide a report with options
    for reducing the number of administrative offices and
    consolidating support services within 180 days of enactment of
    this Act. Information on the initial investments needed to
    achieve these goals, the impacts on personnel and potential
    cost efficiencies should be included in this report.
        The Committee is also concerned about the continuity of
    Service programs and services among the regions. Program
    delivery, internet content, management differences, and
    organizational structures should be standardized so that
    regional boundaries are seamless and services are consistently
    delivered to the public.
        Within the funding provided for the National Fish and
    Wildlife Foundation, $1,500,000 is provided for competitive
    endangered species grants.
        The Committee recognizes the importance of the Bay-Delta
    Conservation Plan and urges the Secretary to continue ongoing
    Departmental efforts to work with stakeholders.
        Bill Language.--The Committee includes bill language, as in
    previous years, limiting funding for the endangered species
    listing program. A total of $20,603,000 is for listing, of
    which $10,632,000 is for critical habitat designation.

        The Committee is aware that the Refuge System is building
    or replacing visitor centers with funding provided in the
    American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Committee
    is also aware that the Refuge System was previously working to
    update its priority list for visitor centers. The Service
    should be cautious in developing new priorities and base the
    location of these proposed visitor centers on a logical,
    national methodology. The Committee believes that refuge
    visitor centers are appropriate in limited locations provided
    they are modest facilities that quickly orient the public to
    the refuge and encourage them to get out on the landscape
    rather than linger in large buildings that are expensive to
    maintain. Additionally, the Committee applauds the Service for
    its development of a visitor center planning tool, but feels
    that scoping must be based on realistic visitation estimates,
    account for proximity to large populated areas, and focus on
    getting the visiting public, including school groups, onto the
    land to experience wildlife and nature first-hand.
        The Committee urges the Service to act expeditiously in
    completing the previously funded planning and design of the
    Cahaba River NWR visitor center, AL.

        The Committee has included language on land acquisition in
    the front section of this report.

                COOPERATIVE ENDANGERED SPECIES CONSERVATION FUND

        The Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund
    provides grants to States and territories for endangered
    species recovery actions on non-Federal lands and provides
    funds for non-Federal land acquisition to facilitate habitat
    protection. Individual States and territories provide 25
    percent of grant project costs. Cost sharing is reduced to 10
    percent when two or more States or territories are involved in
    a project.

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $75,501,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       100,000,000

        The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the cooperative
    endangered species conservation fund, as requested, $24,499,000
    above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        Within the funding provided for this program, $34,307,000
    is derived from the Cooperative Endangered Species Fund, and
    $65,693,000 is derived from the Land and Water Conservation
    Fund. The request proposed to fund the entire amount from the
    Land and Water Conservation Fund.

                         NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE FUND

        This program makes payments in lieu of taxes based on their
    fair market value, to counties in which Service lands are
    located. Payments to counties are estimated to be $22,726,000
    in fiscal year 2010, with $14,100,000 derived from this
    appropriation and $8,626,000 from the net refuge receipts
    estimated to be collected in fiscal year 2009.

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $14,100,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        14,100,000

        The Committee recommends $14,100,000 for the National
    Wildlife Refuge Fund, the same as the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and the budget request.

                   NORTH AMERICAN WETLANDS CONSERVATION FUND

        The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through the North
    American Wetlands Conservation Fund, leverages partner
    contributions for wetlands conservation. Projects to date have
    been in 50 States, 13 Canadian provinces, 25 Mexican states,
    and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition to this appropriation,
    the Service receives funding from fines for violations of the
    Migratory Bird Treaty Act; interest earned on tax receipts in
    the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration account from taxes on
    firearms, ammunition, archery equipment, pistols, and
    revolvers, and from the Sport Fish Restoration account from
    taxes on fishing tackle and equipment, electric trolling motors
    and fish finders, and certain marine gasoline taxes. By law,
    sport fish restoration receipts are used for coastal wetlands
    in States bordering the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, States
    bordering the Great Lakes, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
    Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the
    freely associated States in the Pacific, and American Samoa.

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $42,647,000

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0

        The Committee recommends $52,647,000 for the North American
    Wetlands Conservation Fund, as requested, $10,000,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level.

                    NEOTROPICAL MIGRATORY BIRD CONSERVATION

        The Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act of 2000
    authorizes grants for the conservation of neotropical migratory
    birds in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean,
    with 75 percent of the amounts available to be expended on
    projects outside the U.S. There is a three to one matching
    requirement under this program.

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $4,750,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         4,750,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................         5,250,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................          +500,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................          +500,000

        The Committee recommends $5,250,000 for the neotropical
    migratory bird conservation program, $500,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level and the budget request.

                    MULTINATIONAL SPECIES CONSERVATION FUND

        This account combines funding for programs under the former
    rewards and operations (African elephant) account, the former
    rhinoceros and tiger conservation account, the Asian elephant
    conservation program, and the great ape conservation program.
    The African Elephant Act of 1988 established a fund for
    assisting nations and organizations involved with conservation
    of African elephants. The Service provides grants to African
    Nations and to qualified organizations and individuals to
    protect and manage critical populations of these elephants. The
    Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act of 1994 authorized
    programs to enhance compliance with the Convention on
    International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and U.S. or
    foreign laws prohibiting the taking or trade of rhinoceros,
    tigers, or their habitat. The Asian Elephant Conservation Act
    of 1997 authorized a grant program, similar to the African
    elephant program, to enable cooperators from regional and range
    country agencies and organizations to address Asian elephant
    conservation problems. The world's surviving populations of
    wild Asian elephants are found in 13 south and southeastern
    Asian countries. The Great Ape Conservation Act of 2000
    authorized grants to foreign governments, the CITES
    secretariat, and non-governmental organizations for the
    conservation of great apes.

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $10,000,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        10,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        11,500,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        +1,500,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +1,500,000

        The Committee recommends $11,500,000 for the multinational
    species conservation fund, $1,500,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and the budget request.
        The funding levels are as follows: $3,000,000 for
    rhinoceros and tiger conservation, $1,750,000 for marine turtle
    conservation, and $2,250,000 each for African elephant
    conservation, Asian elephant conservation, and great ape
    conservation.
        The Committee is aware that the International Crane
    Conservation Act and the Rare Cats and Canids Act are in the
    process of being authorized. The Committee encourages the
    Administration to include funding for these important
    conservation programs in their next budget submission.

                        STATE AND TRIBAL WILDLIFE GRANTS

        The State and Tribal wildlife grants program provides funds
    for States to implement their comprehensive wildlife
    conservation plans for species of greatest conservation need.
    States are required to provide at least a 25 percent cost share
    for grants that implement the State Wildlife Action Plans.

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $75,000,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       115,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       115,000,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +40,000,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0

        The Committee recommends $115,000,000 for State and Tribal
    wildlife grants, as requested, $40,000,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level. Within the amount provided, $7,000,000
    is for competitively awarded grants to Indian Tribes.
        The Committee has agreed to the requested funding increase
    in this account, however, the Committee has not allowed the
    full amount to be used for updating the State Wildlife Action
    Plans to incorporate climate change adaptation and mitigation.
    The Committee is aware that some States have previously
    incorporated climate change concepts into their plans and that
    the remaining States will do so as a part of their required
    periodic updates. Therefore, the Committee directs the Service
    to provide at least half of the requested funding increase for
    on-the-ground conservation projects in addition to updating the
    State Wildlife Action Plans.
        Bill Language.--The Committee has included bill language
    that changes the State funding match requirements for this
    program from 50 percent to 25 percent.

                    FEDERAL AID IN WILDLIFE RESTORATION FUND

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................                $0
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        28,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................                 0
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................                 0
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................       -28,000,000

        The Committee has not included the requested increase for
    the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration youth program. The
    Committee supports the youth in the outdoors initiative, but
    has concerns with the implementation of this particular
    component.

                             NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

        The mission of the National Park Service is to preserve
    unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the
    national park system for the enjoyment, education, and
    inspiration of this and future generations. Established in
    1916, the National Park Service has stewardship
    responsibilities for the protection and preservation of the
    heritage resources of the national park system.
        The system, consisting of 391 separate and distinct units,
    is recognized globally as a leader in park management and
    resource preservation. The national park system represents much
    of the finest the Nation has to offer in terms of scenery,
    historical and archeological relics, and cultural heritage.
    Through its varied sites, the National Park Service attempts to
    explain America's history, interpret its culture, preserve
    examples of its natural ecosystems, and provide recreational
    and educational opportunities for U.S. citizens and visitors
    from all over the world. In addition, the National Park Service
    provides support to Tribal, local, and State governments to
    preserve culturally significant, ecologically important, and
    public recreational lands.
        The National Park Service will be 100 years old in 2016 and
    the Service has embarked on an historic ten-year effort to
    enhance the national parks leading up to this historic
    celebration. The Committee continues to support this effort and
    the $2,260,684,000 recommended will provide the resources to
    continue to prepare the system for a second century of
    conservation, environmental stewardship and recreation
    benefiting millions of visitors from throughout the world.
    Included in the recommendation is a $100,000,000 increase above
    the 2009 enacted level, not including fixed costs increases,
    for the operations of the National Parks and $25,000,000 for
    the Parks Partnership, as requested.
        Table of Allocations by Activity.--The following table
    describes funding by activity for all accounts of the National
    Park Service.

                     OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM

    Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................    $2,131,529,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     2,266,016,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     2,260,684,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................      +129,155,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................       -5,332,000

    *Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $2,260,684,000 for Operation of
    the National Park Service (NPS), $129,155,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level and $5,332,000 below the budget
    request. This account funds the day-to-day operations of
    individual park units as well as regional and headquarters
    support operations of the NPS.
        Resource Stewardship.--The Committee recommends the
    following changes to the request:
        Enhance Ocean and Coastal Resource Stewardship: The
    Committee recommends $1,250,000 for this new program,
    $1,250,000 below the budget request. The request includes ten
    new FTE positions. The Committee questions the need for such a
    large personnel increase.
        Visitor Services.--The Committee recommends the following
    change to the request:
        Advance Interpretive Renaissance Plan: The Committee
    recommends $500,000, $875,000 below the budget request. The
    Committee supports the Web Learning proposal; however, the
    Committee does not find that the $875,000 request to Support
    Accountability in Interpretation and Education has been
    satisfactorily justified in the budget request.
        Youth Partnerships Program.--The Committee recommends
    $7,822,000, as requested, $5,000,000 over the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level. The Committee supports the National Park Service
    component of the Secretary's 21st Century Youth Conservation
    Initiative to provide high school and college aged youth
    internships and mentoring programs within the National Park
    System. In particular, the Committee supports the effort to
    place emphasis on recruiting candidates from socially and
    economically diverse backgrounds.
        Facility Maintenance and Operations.--The Committee
    recommends the following changes to the request:
        Facility Management Software System (FMSS): The Committee
    recommends $4,388,000 for the Facility Management Software
    System, $968,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $1,000,000 below the budget request. The Committee does not
    believe the increase has been satisfactorily justified in the
    budget request.
        Storm Preparedness.--The Committee has not provided the
    request of $2,207,000 to expand emergency storm damage
    preparedness. These funds were requested in anticipation of
    emergency repairs to restore park operations due to severe
    storms. The Committee traditionally funds such emergency
    activities through supplemental requests.
        Additional Guidelines.--The following additional directions
    and guidance are provided with respect to funding provided
    under this account:
        Climate Change Initiative: The Committee recommends
    $10,000,000, as requested. There was no funding for the new
    climate change initiative in fiscal year 2009. Several bureaus
    within the Department of the Interior have requested funding
    for separate climate change offices and activities. The
    National Park Service has an important stewardship role which
    will be impacted by climate change. However, the Committee is
    concerned about duplication of effort and the lack of an
    apparent department-wide plan to ensure integrated assessments,
    tool development, planning and resource management activities.
    In particular, the Committee questions the need for a separate
    climate change office within the National Park Service. The
    Committee has included further language and direction on this
    issue in the front of this report.
        National Mall Concerts.--The Committee directs the National
    Park Service to continue making financial contributions towards
    the summer concerts series staged on the Capitol Grounds.
    Within the amounts approved for park support, the Service shall
    increase funding for this program by $350,000 over the level
    provided in fiscal year 2009.
        Cultural Resource Stewardship.--In October 2008, the
    National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) issued a
    report entitled ``Saving Our History: A Review of National Park
    Cultural Resource Programs.'' This report made several
    recommendations to improve the Park Service's stewardship of
    cultural resources, including: new performance measures, park
    superintendent accountability, museum management, funding and
    staffing. Nearly two-thirds of the 391 national park units were
    created because of their historic and cultural resources. The
    NAPA report indicated that in 1995 cultural resource staffing
    and natural resource staffing were roughly the same. However,
    since that time, staffing for cultural resources has decreased
    by 27 percent, while staffing for natural resources has
    increased by 31 percent. The Committee urges the Director to
    review the NAPA findings and prepare a report for this
    Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act on how future
    budgets will address the recommendations in the NAPA report.
        Brown v. Board of Education Foundation.--The Committee has
    included the request for this site within the Operations of the
    National Park Service.
        Regional Reorganizations.--The Committee has recently
    become aware of a planned reorganization of the Northeast
    Regional Office of the Park Service. Prior to finalizing its
    plan, the Service is directed to report to the Committee on its
    plan for managing the current programs administered by the
    Boston Regional Office and how the Service proposes to change
    the staffing plan for that office.
        Recreation Fees.--The Committee is aware of the consistent
    problem the Service has in obligating recreational fee
    revenues. The carryover of fee revenues has averaged over
    $270,000,000 in the last 3 years with 70 percent of this amount
    attributable to the collecting parks. Given the Service's large
    backlogs in several of its programs, it is clear that change is
    needed to address this problem. Existing authority provides
    sufficient flexibility to address this problem by reducing the
    allocation of fee revenues to the largest collecting parks from
    80 percent to 60 percent, thereby allowing the difference to be
    directed to priority projects that are ready for obligation in
    other parks. The Committee directs that NPS immediately begin
    allocating no more than 60 percent to the parks that carryover
    $4,000,000 or more from the previous fiscal year in unobligated
    balances. The Service may return some or all of the 20 percent
    difference, if the park area can demonstrate an immediate need
    to retain and obligate a project or projects that rank high on
    the Service's priority list.
        If by taking this action the Service is unable to show
    significant improvement in the obligation rate and use of fee
    revenues, the Committee will take further steps. The Committee
    further directs that the Service use these funds to meet
    nonrecurring servicewide priority needs that contribute to
    reduction in maintenance backlogs, enhanced visitor services
    and improved resource management and preservation.
        Sesquicentennial Civil War Planning.--The Sesquicentennial
    of the Civil War will provide a unique opportunity for the
    National Park Service to present itself to millions of
    Americans and foreign tourists. The Committee encourages the
    National Park Service, in collaboration with the Civil War
    Preservation Trust and other organizations, to update the
    content of its website and the information available at its
    Civil War Parks and to employ modern technology and adaptive
    and interactive media to present this information to the
    public.

                        PARK PARTNERSHIP PROJECT GRANTS

        Park Partnership Project Grants is a matching grant
    program, which allows the Park Service to fund merit-based
    signature projects and programs throughout the park system. It
    allows the Park Service to leverage, from non-federal sources,
    no less than 50 percent of the total cost of each project in
    the form of donated cash, assets, or a pledge of donation
    guaranteed by an irrevocable letter of credit.

    Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................                $0
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        25,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        25,000,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +25,000,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0

        The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for the new Park
    Partnership Project Grants, as requested in the budget. No
    funds were provided for this program in fiscal year 2009. This
    program was developed to help celebrate the one hundredth
    anniversary of the National Park System. The Committee believes
    that projects and programs funded through this account should
    be worthy of that milestone. Therefore, the Committee urges the
    Director to fund signature projects and programs consistent
    with the original stated intent of the program. In addition,
    the Committee directs the Service to provide a report within 90
    days of enactment of this Act, listing the projects selected,
    the criteria used for the selections and the funds allotted to
    each project from both Federal and non-federal sources. The
    report should also include a schedule for completion of each
    project.
        The Committee understands that approximately $10,000,000
    worth of projects were selected prior to the enactment of the
    fiscal year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act. The Committee
    directs the Service to include in the above-referenced report
    an explanation of how these projects will be funded and if the
    funds provided through this bill will be used to cover those
    projects.

                      NATIONAL RECREATION AND PRESERVATION

        The National Recreation and Preservation account provides
    for outdoor recreation planning, preservation of cultural and
    national heritage resources, technical assistance to Federal,
    State and local agencies, and administration of Historic
    Preservation Fund grants.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $59,684,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        53,908,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        59,386,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................          -298,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +5,478,000
        The Committee recommends $59,386,000 for National
    Recreation and Preservation, $298,000 below the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $5,478,000 above the budget request. The
    Committee recommends the following changes to the request.
        Heritage Areas Partnership Program.--The Committee
    recommends $17,814,000 for the Heritage Areas Partnership
    Program, $2,112,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level
    and $2,078,000 above the budget request. These funds finance
    grants to local non-profit groups in support of historical and
    cultural recognition, preservation and tourism activities. The
    Committee has recommended this increase to allow funding for
    the expanded number of heritage partnerships authorized by
    Congress in the Omnibus Public Lands Act of 2009. The number of
    authorized partnerships has increased during the last two years
    from 27 to 49, including 9 new areas authorized in March 2009.
    The Committee recommendation will provide at least $150,000 to
    the new areas without approved plans.
        The Park Service is directed to allocate funding to the
    heritage areas based on competitive criteria, following the
    general approach used in 2008. The Committee continues to
    direct the NPS to develop new guidelines for this program that
    include self-sufficiency plans for all heritage areas within a
    reasonable period of time.
        Statutory or Contract Aid.--The Committee recommends
    $1,900,000 for Statutory or Contract Aid, $3,700,000 below the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The President did not request
    funding for this program. These funds are to be allocated as
    follows:
              Angel Island Immigration Center (CA)--$1,000,000
              Star Spangled Banner National Historic Trail --
            $500,000
              Chesapeake Bay Gateways--$400,000
        Japanese American Confinement Sites.--The Committee
    continues to recognize the importance of preserving these
    sites, and the stories of those affected by the actions of the
    Federal government. Because of the importance of these areas to
    current and future generations, the Committee has included the
    following efforts across several Park Service accounts. The
    Committee has included $2,500,000, which is $1,500,000 above
    the request, for the Japanese American Site Grants program. The
    Committee has also included $350,000 in land acquisition, as
    requested, to acquire 17 acres at the Minidoka National
    Historic Site in Idaho. Additionally, the Committee has
    included new bill language in Title I, General Provisions, that
    will expand the acquisition boundary of the Minidoka National
    Historic Site in Idaho and the Heart Mountain site in Wyoming.
    This language will allow the National Park Service to purchase
    additional lands from willing sellers in future years.

                           HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND

        The Historic Preservation Fund allows the State historic
    preservation offices to perform a variety of functions. These
    include State management and administration of existing grant
    obligations; review and advice on Federal projects and actions;
    determinations and nominations to the National Register; Tax
    Act certifications; and technical preservation services. The
    States also review properties to develop data for planning use.
    Funding in this account also supports direct grants to
    qualifying organizations for individual preservation projects
    and for activities in support of heritage tourism and local
    historic preservation.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009 *.........................       $69,500,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        77,675,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        90,675,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +21,175,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................      +13,000,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $90,675,000 for historic
    preservation programs, $21,175,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $13,000,000 above the budget request. The
    Committee recommends the following changes to the request.
        Preserve America.--The Committee recommends $6,175,000 for
    the Preserve America program, $3,000,000 above the budget
    request. This program was not funded in fiscal year 2009. The
    Preserve America program provides small grants to local
    communities in support of heritage tourism, education and
    historic preservation planning activities.
        Save America's Treasures.--The Committee recommends
    $30,000,000 for the Save America's Treasures program,
    $10,000,000 above fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $10,000,000 above the budget request. These funds are used to
    make small, one-time grants for specific local historic
    preservation projects to preserve a building or artifact which
    might otherwise be lost to future generations. All projects
    require a 50 percent match. The bill provides $5,310,000 for
    the following specific projects with the remainder to be
    awarded based on the national competition conducted by the Park
    Service:

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

        Additional Guidance.--The following additional directions
    and guidance are provided with respect to funding provided
    under this account:
        State and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices.--The
    Committee supports the long standing efforts of the State and
    Tribal Historic Preservation Offices to identify and protect
    irreplaceable historic and archeological resources. The
    Committee is pleased to provide the requested increase of
    $5,000,000 for these important programs and encourages the
    Service to seek additional future increases.
        Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)
    Grants.--The Committee remains strongly supportive of HBCU
    historic preservation activities. The ARRA provided $15,000,000
    to support these projects. However, there continues to be
    significant carryover balances in this program. The Committee
    looks forward to providing additional funding once the
    carryover balances have been reduced.

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................       +8,700,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $214,691,000 for construction,
    $17,830,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $8,700,000 above the budget request. These amounts fund major
    repairs and new construction for assets throughout the NPS. The
    Committee notes that the requested reduction to this account is
    in part due to reduced expenditures on the Modified Waters
    projects in the Everglades and in light of commitments made
    with the ARRA funds. The Committee expects the Service to
    continue to make progress on the Modified Waters project in
    2010 with the funds provided in prior years and carried over
    into 2010. The Committee has approved the amount requested by
    the President and adds funds for the following projects:

        Bill Language.--Authorized Special Resource Studies.--The
    Committee has included bill language to direct the National
    Park Service to complete a special resource study along the
    route of the Mississippi River in the counties contiguous to
    the river from its headwaters in the State of Minnesota to the
    Gulf of Mexico.
        The following additional directions and guidance are
    provided with respect to funding provided under this account:
        Use of Prior Year Balances: The Committee recommends a
    $6,500,000 redirection using prior year balances. As noted
    earlier, the Park Service has significant balances in
    recreation fee revenue. That revenue should be used to address
    priority visitor-related projects.
        Everglades Restoration.--The Committee recommends
    $8,400,000 for the Modified Waters project. This includes the
    NPS request of $4,200,000 and an additional $4,200,000 for the
    Corps of Engineers, which was requested by the President in the
    Corps' budget. Continued funding for the Modified Waters
    project would allow for continuous work on the Tamiami Trail
    Bridge and road modifications as a first step to restore water
    flow to the park.
        Since the early 1990's this Committee has invested more
    than $1.3 billion for programs and projects to restore the
    Everglades, including lands for habitat conservation; water
    quality and water quantity improvement; restoration of more
    natural water flows; removal of invasive exotics and
    development of sound science. This large investment reflects
    the fact that the restoration of the Everglades is the largest
    environmental restoration project in the United States.
    Although much has been accomplished through the work of the
    Department, other Federal agencies and the State of Florida,
    much remains to be done to achieve restoration. It is critical
    that the bridging of the Tamiami Trail be completed at the
    earliest possible date so that flows can be restored between
    Everglades National Park and the State-managed Water
    Conservation Areas. The Committee agrees with the recent
    assessment of the National Academy of Sciences, which observed
    that unless restoration projects are completed soon, we may
    lose the opportunity to restore and preserve this unique and
    world class resource. The Committee urges the Department to
    continue its important work with its partners to focus on those
    projects with the greatest restoration benefits.
        Castillo de San Marcos National Monument.--The Committee
    has included $500,000 for preliminary planning and design of
    the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument Restoration
    Project with the understanding that construction will not
    commence until fee simple title of the affected property is
    conveyed to the Federal government by the City of St.
    Augustine, FL and the State of Florida.
        Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park: The
    Committee directs that $500,000 shall be made available to
    undertake the preparation of the Paterson Great Falls NHP
    general management plan.

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends the rescission of $30,000,000 in
    the annual contract authority provided by 16 U.S.C. 46l-10a.
    This authority has not been used in years, and there are no
    plans to use it in fiscal year 2010. The Committee does not
    agree with the Administration's proposal to permanently cancel
    the authority.

                     LAND ACQUISITION AND STATE ASSISTANCE
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $64,190,000

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +5,222,000
        The Committee recommends $103,222,000 for land acquisition,
    $39,032,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $5,222,000 above the budget request.

        The Committee has included language on land acquisition in
    the front section of this report.
        Bill Language.--The bill includes new authority for the
    National Park Service to transfer funds to the Federal Highway
    Administration, without limitation. The Park Service should
    present its plans for transfers that will take place in 2010
    within 60 days of enactment of this Act and a report on
    transfers that were executed during fiscal year 2010 within 60
    days after the end of the fiscal year.

                        UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

        The United States Geological Survey (USGS) was established
    by an act of Congress on March 3, 1879 to provide a permanent
    Federal agency to conduct up-to-date systematic and scientific
    ``classification of the public lands, and examination of the
    geological structure, mineral resources, and products of the
    National domain.'' The USGS is the Federal government's largest
    earth-science research agency and the primary source of data on
    the Nation's surface and ground water resources. Its activities
    include conducting detailed assessments of the energy and
    mineral potential of the Nation's land and State offshore
    areas; investigating and issuing warnings of earthquakes,
    volcanic eruptions, landslides, and other geologic and
    hydrologic hazards; research on the geologic structure of the
    Nation; studies of the geologic features, structure, processes,
    and history of other planets of our solar system; topographic
    surveys of the Nation and preparation of topographic and
    thematic maps and related cartographic products; development
    and production of digital cartographic data bases and products;
    collection on a routine basis of data on the quantity, quality,
    and use of surface and ground water; research in hydraulics and
    hydrology; the coordination of all Federal water data
    acquisition; the scientific understanding and technologies
    needed to support the sound management and conservation of our
    Nation's biological resources; and the application of remotely
    sensed data to the development of new cartographic, geologic,
    and hydrologic research techniques for natural resources
    planning and management, surveys, investigations, and research.
        The Committee recommendations for the USGS are based on
    changes to the President's budget request. Unless otherwise
    stated, the Committee approves the items in the budget
    justification and supporting materials from the Survey. The
    amounts recommended by the Committee compared with the budget
    estimates by activity are shown in the following table:

                     SURVEYS, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESEARCH
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................    $1,043,803,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     1,097,844,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     1,105,744,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +61,941,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................       +7,900,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $1,105,744,000 for surveys,
    investigations, and research, $61,941,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $7,900,000 above the budget request. The
    Committee notes that it has fully funded the requested funding
    increase of $3,000,000 for the New Energy Frontier initiative
    on alternative energy research in several budget activities and
    the request for $2,000,000 for the Survey's component of the
    21st Century Youth Conservation Corps initiative. The Committee
    bill also fully funds the requested increase of $22,000,000 for
    climate change science as discussed below.
        Geographic Research, Investigations, and Remote Sensing.--
    The Committee recommends $145,590,000 for geographic research
    and remote sensing, $3,458,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $1,650,000 above the budget request. The
    recommendation accepts the Survey's request to move the
    National Geospatial Program from the Enterprise Information
    activity to this activity. The Committee has added $1,650,000
    above the request to fully support an ongoing commitment for
    the USGS to run the Civil Applications Committee (CAC) and
    associated supporting requirements. The Committee expects that
    the USGS will continue to chair the Civil Applications
    Committee, which they coordinate with 12 member and 6 associate
    member agencies; the CAC provides Federal civil agency access
    totechnology and information. Bill language has been added to
    clarify that the CAC total program level is $2,000,000. Funds
    provided by this Act for the Civil Applications Committee shall
    not be used for law enforcement purposes. The recommendation
    fully funds the budget request of $40,200,000 for the Landsat
    Data Continuity Mission and the ongoing Landsat 5/7 program.
        The Committee encourages the Survey to maintain the funding
    for the Chesapeake Bay geographic analysis and monitoring
    effort at the fiscal year 2008 level.
        The Committee is aware that the Survey entered into a
    cooperative agreement in 2002 for an innovative partnership
    whereby North Carolina would provide State-derived elevation
    data in the form of a new digital State map to the National
    Mapping program. The State has provided all of the data to
    USGS, and the map provided by North Carolina is available on
    the USGS website. The Committee understands that the terms of
    the cooperative agreement may not have been fulfilled. The
    Committee urges the USGS to work with the State of North
    Carolina on this matter.
        Geologic Hazards, Resources and Processes.--The Committee
    recommends $248,231,000 for geologic hazards, resources, and
    processes, $6,089,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level
    and $1,250,000 above the budget request. The Committee has
    added $1,000,000 above the request in the earthquake hazards
    subactivity for critically needed LIDAR and other seismological
    studies of areas with high earthquake risk and community
    danger. The recommendation also adds $250,000 for the Global
    Seismographic Network. The Committee remains encouraged by the
    ongoing multi-hazards initiative and encourages the Survey to
    continue to build on this useful effort.
        The Committee notes that is has fully funded the request
    for $4,000,000 for urgently needed extended continental shelf
    mapping to support a U.S. claim to additional continental shelf
    area, such as in the Arctic Ocean.
        Water Resources Investigations.--The Committee recommends
    $229,661,000 for water resources investigations, $8,297,000
    above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $1,780,000 above
    the budget request. The Committee has funded the requested
    increase of $5,000,000 for the National Streamflow information
    program. The Water Resources Research Act programs are fully
    funded at the request of $6,500,000. Changes to the request
    include $300,000 for the South Arkansas Sparta aquifer recovery
    study, $200,000 for the Hood Canal dissolved oxygen study, WA,
    $280,000 for the McHenry County groundwater protection program,
    IL and $1,000,000 for the ongoing US-Mexico Transboundary
    Aquifer Assessment Act study.
        Biological Research.--The Committee recommends $202,494,000
    for biological research, $17,164,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $3,220,000 above the budget request. The
    Committee has included the requested increases of $5,000,000
    for the new climate change science support for the U.S. Fish
    and Wildlife Service effort, $4,200,000 to expand research on
    the changing Arctic ecosystems, and $2,000,000 for the
    cooperative research units. The Committee recommendation
    includes a $2,000,000 increase within biological information
    management and delivery for support to coordinators of the
    national network of State conservation data agencies. The
    recommendation also includes $220,000 for the Silvio O. Conte
    Anadromous Fish Research Lab, MA, ongoing basic and applied
    research for the improved management of habitat for endangered
    fish species, fish passage, natural resources, and ultimately
    the economy and environment of the Connecticut River watershed
    and Long Island Sound. The Committee has added $1,000,000 to
    continue scientific support to the South San Francisco Bay salt
    ponds restoration effort, CA.
        The Committee remains concerned about the destructive fish
    disease, viral hemorrhagic septicemia, and encourages the
    Survey to pursue research on this issue. The Committee is also
    concerned about the impacts of the Chytrid disease on amphibian
    species worldwide and encourages the Survey to work with the
    international conservation community on this issue. In
    addition, the Committee remains concerned about increased
    mortality of bats in the northeastern United States from white
    nose syndrome and encourages the USGS to work with the Fish and
    Wildlife Service to research the cause and extent of the
    problem and develop a mitigation plan.
        Enterprise Information.--The Committee recommends
    $45,969,000 for enterprise information as requested, $3,315,000
    above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The recommendation
    includes the $2,000,000 for the USGS portion of the 21st
    Century Youth Conservation Corps initiative.
        Science Support.--The Committee recommends $69,225,000 for
    science support as requested, $1,795,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level.
        Facilities.--The Committee recommends $106,397,000 for
    facilities as requested, $4,274,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.
        Global Climate Change Research Program.-- The Committee
    recommends $58,177,000 for the global climate change research
    program as requested, $17,549,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level. The recommendation fully funds the requested
    program increases above fiscal year 2009 of $5,000,000 for the
    National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center, $7,000,000
    for various carbon sequestration scientific activities, and
    $5,000,000 for other climate change science. The Committee's
    direction on coordinating climate change activities and
    completing the plan directed in fiscal year 2009 are in the
    front of this report.

                          MINERALS MANAGEMENT SERVICE

        The Minerals Management Service (MMS) is responsible for
    collecting, distributing, accounting and auditing revenues from
    mineral leases on Federal and Indian lands. In fiscal year
    2009, MMS expects to collect and distribute about $15.6 billion
    from active Federal and Indian leases. The MMS also manages the
    offshore energy and mineral resources on the Nation's outer
    continental shelf (OCS). To date, the OCS program has been
    focused primarily on oil and gas leasing. Over the past several
    years, MMS has been exploring the possible development of other
    marine mineral resources, especially sand and gravel. With the
    passage of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, MMS assumed increased
    responsibility for oil spill research, including the promotion
    of increased oil spill response capabilities, and for oil spill
    financial responsibility certifications of offshore platforms
    and pipelines. Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, MMS has new
    responsibilities over Federal offshore renewable energy and
    related uses of America's offshore public lands. Fiscal year
    2007 marked the start of the Coastal Impact Assistance Program;
    it will provide $1 billion in mandatory funding over 4 years
    from offshore oil and gas receipts to coastal States (primarily
    Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi) and counties for
    environmental restoration and other important civic projects.
        The amounts recommended by the Committee compared with the
    budget estimates by activity are shown in the following table:

                    ROYALTY AND OFFSHORE MINERALS MANAGEMENT
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $157,373,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       174,317,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       174,317,000
    Comparison:
      Appropriation, 2009.................................       +16,944,000
      Budget estimate, 2010...............................                 0
        The Committee recommends an appropriation of $174,317,000
    for royalty and offshore minerals management, as requested,
    $16,944,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The
    Committee recommends use of $166,730,000 in receipts and cost
    recovery fees, which agrees with the Administration request to
    increase use of receipts by $10,000,000 and collect new
    inspection fees totaling $10,000,000.
        The Committee has provided the requested increase for
    renewable energy in the Minerals Management Service. The
    Committee urges the Administration to proceed in this effort
    with sufficient planning and public input. The Service should
    continue to develop a comprehensive alternative energy
    assessment on the Outer Continental Shelf that delineates those
    areas that they would propose be available for offshore
    alternative energy production, policies for collecting fees and
    royalties, siting and operational standards, reclamation
    standards, environmental protections needed, and the staff and
    resources needed to administer a comprehensive alternative
    energy program.
        The Committee notes over the last several years there have
    been expanded areas available for oil and gas leasing in the
    Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, and approved exploration plans
    involving seismic testing and exploratory drilling in these
    waters. These waters currently host a rich diversity of
    wildlife and fish resources, and are critical to the survival
    of the subsistence culture of the Inupiat people of Arctic
    Alaska. To ensure sound science-based planning and decision-
    making with regard to these important resources, a
    comprehensive assessment of the health, biodiversity, and
    functioning of Arctic marine and coastal ecosystems, including
    the impacts of industrial activities and of climate change, is
    needed. As a first step in conducting such a comprehensive
    assessment, the Committee believes that there should be a
    scientific gap analysis conducted by an independent entity,
    such as the National Research Council, to assess existing
    scientific information and identify additional information
    necessary to ensure adequate environmental review of proposed
    industrial activities in the region. This assessment should
    also include recommendations for obtaining the identified
    needed scientific information.
        The Committee supports the Administration's efforts to
    secure a balanced energy portfolio that carefully weighs what
    is in the best interest of our energy-dependent nation with
    what is in the best interest of our natural environment. Future
    coordinated efforts to pursue additional oil and gas resources
    in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) must include the
    opportunity to apply advanced technologies, be based on the
    best available science, and take into account the potential
    environmental impacts of such potential development. Therefore,
    the Committee directs the MMS, pursuant to the National
    Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to conduct a Programmatic
    Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) to evaluate potential
    significant environmental effects of multiple geological and
    geophysical activities on the Atlantic OCS. Earlier this year,
    the MMS issued its Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare such a
    PEIS and subsequently accepted public comments on the NOI. The
    Committee believes it is not only appropriate and timely for
    the MMS to move forward with the PEIS, it is also consistent
    with the Department's stated desire to fill in information gaps
    relating to resource potential in the OCS.

                               OIL SPILL RESEARCH
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $6,303,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         6,303,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................         6,303,000
    Comparison:
      Appropriation, 2009.................................                 0
      Budget estimate, 2010...............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $6,303,000 for oil spill research,
    the same as the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the budget
    request. This funding is derived from the Oil Spill Liability
    Trust Fund, to conduct oil spill research and financial
    responsibility and inspection activities associated with the
    Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Public Law 101-380.
        Administrative provisions.--The Committee recommendation
    continues language from the fiscal year 2009 enacted bill on a
    legislative matter which deducts 2 percent of State royalties
    to help cover Federal administrative costs, resulting in a
    $49,000,000 scoring credit for the bill.

              Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement

        The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
    (OSMRE), through its regulation and technology account,
    regulates surface coal mining operations to ensure that the
    environment is reclaimed once mining is completed. The OSMRE
    accomplishes this mission by providing grants to those States
    that maintain their own regulatory and reclamation programs and
    by conducting oversight of State programs. Further, the OSMRE
    administers the regulatory programs in the States that do not
    have their own programs and on Federal and Tribal lands.
    Through its Abandoned Mine Land (AML) reclamation program, the
    OSMRE provides funding for environmental restoration at
    abandoned coal mines based on fees collected from current coal
    production operations. In their un-reclaimed condition these
    abandoned sites endanger public health and safety, and prevent
    the beneficial use of land and water resources. The Surface
    Mining Control and Reclamation Act amendments of 2006
    dramatically changed the manner in which AML funds are
    distributed.
        The amounts recommended by the Committee for each Office of
    Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement appropriation
    account, compared with the budget estimates by activity, are
    shown in the following table:

                           REGULATION AND TECHNOLOGY
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $120,256,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       127,280,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       127,280,000
    Comparison:
      Appropriation, 2009.................................        +7,024,000
      Budget estimate, 2010...............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $127,280,000 for regulation and
    technology, as requested, $7,024,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.

                        ABANDONED MINE RECLAMATION FUND
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $44,446,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        32,088,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        32,088,000
    Comparison:
      Appropriation, 2009.................................       -12,358,000
      Budget estimate, 2010...............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $32,088,000 for the Abandoned Mine
    Reclamation Fund, as requested, $12,358,000 below the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level.
        The fiscal year 2009 enacted bill provided funding for the
    State emergency grants as a one-time bridge for States to
    utilize their mandatory funding for this purpose. This year,
    the Committee recommendation follows the Administration's
    request to eliminate the funding for these grants. The
    Committee understands that there are still unobligated funds
    from previous years for these emergency grants that will
    further assist the States in transitioning to mandatory
    funding.

                            Bureau of Indian Affairs

        The Bureau of Indian Affairs was founded in 1824 to
    establish a government-to-government relationship and trust
    responsibility that results from treaties with Native groups.
    The Bureau delivers services to over 1.7 million American
    Indians and Alaska Natives. In addition, the Bureau provides
    education programs to Native Americans through the operation of
    169 schools, and 14 dormitories. The Bureau administers more
    than 56 million acres of land held in trust status. Over 10
    million of these acres belong to individuals and 46 million
    acres are held in trust for Tribes.

                          OPERATION OF INDIAN PROGRAMS
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................    $2,128,630,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     2,278,809,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     2,300,099,000
    Comparison:
      Appropriation, 2009.................................      +171,469,000
      Budget estimate, 2010...............................       +21,290,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The amounts recommended by the Committee compared with the
    budget estimates by activity are shown in the following table:

        Tribal Government.--The Committee recommends $422,862,000
    for Tribal Government activities, $20,331,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level and $6,290,000 above the budget
    request. The increase to the request is for contract support
    costs.
        Human Services.--The Committee recommends $136,996,000 for
    human services, as requested, $452,000 below the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level.
        The Committee notes that additional funding was provided
    for Native American housing programs in the American Recovery
    and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Committee is concerned about
    the coordination of Federal housing programs for Native
    Americans and Alaska Natives. The Committee directs the
    Department of the Interior to work with the Department of
    Housing and Urban Development to clarify the roles and
    responsibilities of each Department and coordinate the delivery
    of housing programs to ensure maximum benefit and avoid
    duplicative efforts.
        Trust--Natural Resources Management.--The Committee
    recommends $174,768,000 for natural resources management,
    $27,058,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $14,000,000 above the budget request.
        Changes to the request include increases of $2,000,000 for
    fish, wildlife, and parks and $12,000,000 for rights
    protection.
        The Committee believes that the natural resource programs
    within the Bureau of Indian Affairs have been chronically
    underfunded. The Committee has provided additional resources in
    the rights protection program and hatcheries program to allow
    Tribes to respond to changing climates and conserve natural
    resources. The Bureau should use the increase provided for
    rights protection to continue ongoing programs carried out by
    Tribes and Tribal organizations that conserve native fisheries,
    manage Tribal wetlands, and conserve and manage natural
    resources. The increase provided for fish, wildlife, and parks
    is for fish hatchery operations.
        Trust--Real Estate Services.--The Committee recommends
    $152,493,000 for real estate services and oversight, as
    requested, $2,406,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        Education.--The Committee recommends $796,300,000 for
    education, as requested, $80,147,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.
        Changes to the request include an increase of $2,000,000
    for student transportation and a decrease of $2,000,000 for
    post secondary programs. The Committee has agreed to the
    request to provide $50,000,000 to forward-fund the Tribal
    colleges and universities. The Committee understands that this
    is one-time funding that will be distributed to other Bureau
    programs in the next fiscal year.
        The Committee understands that the Choctaw Nation of
    Oklahoma's Jones Academy is one of the highest ranked schools
    in the State of Oklahoma. The Committee previously urged the
    Bureau to work to reinstate the academy in the Bureau school
    system. The Bureau has advised the Committee, however, that
    there could be substantial costs incurred if all academic
    programs or schools terminated by Federal action during the
    termination era were reinstated into the system. The Committee
    directs the Bureau to study and report to the Committee within
    180 days after the enactment of this Act on the impacts of
    allowing reinstatement of termination era academic programs or
    schools that were removed from the Bureau school system between
    1951 and 1972. The report should delineate the number of
    schools or academic programs at schools funded by the Federal
    government terminated during this era, whether those schools
    were terminated with the agreement or consent of the Tribal
    governing body (as then constituted), the financial impact of
    constructing a facility with Tribal resources and without
    Federal construction funds, and the increased costs to the
    Bureau if these schools were added to the system.
        Public Safety and Justice.--The Committee recommends
    $303,855,000 for public safety and justice, as requested,
    $33,070,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        For the past two years, the Committee has provided a
    substantial increase for law enforcement programs in Indian
    Country to begin to address the epidemic levels of sexual and
    domestic violence, substance abuse, and related criminal
    problems. The Committee applauds the Administration for
    requesting additional funds to continue to address this issue.
    The Committee directs the Department to do the following:
         Conduct meaningful and timely consultation with
    Tribal leaders and Tribal justice officials in the development
    of regulatory policies and other actions that affect public
    safety and justice in Indian Country.
         Participate, along with the Department of Justice,
    Tribal, and State officials in an interagency working group to
    clarify and resolve the law enforcement jurisdictional
    challenges that have hindered criminal investigations and
    prosecutions in Indian country, and to identify challenges and
    needs related to Tribal justice systems, including needs
    associated with secure law enforcement information sharing
    systems. The working group shall develop recommendations on how
    to streamline Federal, State and Tribal response to criminal
    investigations and prosecutions and shall submit a report to
    the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act. Among
    the goals established for the working group shall be the
    development of protocols to ensure that Federal law enforcement
    agencies that decline to initiate an investigation or that
    terminate an investigation of an alleged violation of Federal
    law in Indian country without referral for prosecution submit
    to the appropriate Tribal official a report describing the
    rationale for terminating the investigation; the type of crime
    alleged; the status of the alleged perpetrator; and the status
    of the victim. These protocols should also ensure that United
    States Attorneys coordinate with Tribal prosecutors
    sufficiently well in advance of prosecution deadlines mandated
    by the statute of limitations to permit Tribal prosecutors to
    pursue cases, as appropriate. The working group should also
    review and define the responsibilities of Assistant United
    States Attorneys serving as Tribal Liaisons in order to better
    coordinate the prosecution of crimes on reservations.
         Coordinate with the Department of Justice to
    develop a priority list for detention facility construction,
    targeting Tribal areas with the greatest need, and work with
    Justice to incorporate the priority system into the ranking
    criteria for detention center grants.
         Work with the Department of Justice to develop a
    voluntary annual training program for Tribal court officials
    and judges to promote improvements in Tribal judicial systems.
         Engage the services of the Office of Inspector
    General to ensure funds are spent wisely, goals and objectives
    for performance are established, and program results are
    measured. This evaluation should be used to refine the
    allocation of fiscal and human resources to have the greatest
    impact on reducing crime.
        Community and Economic Development.--The Committee
    recommends $44,910,000 for community and economic development,
    $1,321,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $1,000,000 above the request.
        The Committee has provided an increase of $1,000,000 for
    the community development program. These funds should be used
    for job training programs that promote training and
    apprenticeship opportunities for Native Americans in the
    carpentry, electrical, plumbing, ironworking, welding, and
    other construction trades.
        Executive Direction and Administration Services.--The
    Committee recommends $267,915,000, as requested, $7,588,000
    above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.

        Education.--The Committee recommends $112,994,000 for
    education construction, as requested, $15,843,000 below the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        Public Safety and Justice.--The Committee recommends
    $39,407,000 for public safety and justice construction, as
    requested, $8,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        The Committee is pleased that the Administration retained
    funding added in fiscal year 2009 for detention center
    construction. The Committee urges the Bureau to work closely
    with the Department of Justice on a comprehensive detention
    center program that complements their detention center grant
    program. Additionally, the Bureau should construct justice
    centers where practicable, that integrate Tribal law
    enforcement facilities, Tribal court facilities and detention
    centers in the same location.
        Resources Management.--The Committee recommends $38,385,000
    for resources management construction, as requested $1,921,000
    below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        General Administration.--The Committee recommends
    $2,064,000 for general administration, $4,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level and the same as the budget request.
        Construction Management.--The Committee recommends
    $7,150,000 for construction management, as requested, $64,000
    above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.

        The Committee recommends $47,380,000 for Indian land and
    water claim settlements and miscellaneous payments to Indians,
    as requested, $25,753,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level.

        The Committee recommends $8,215,000 for the Indian
    guaranteed loan program account, as requested, $29,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.

                       INDIAN LAND CONSOLIDATION ACCOUNT

        The Committee recommends $3,000,000 for the Indian Land
    Consolidation account, as requested, $3,000,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level. This program was previously
    administered in the Office of Special Trustee for American
    Indians.

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $118,836,000 for salaries and
    expenses for the Office of the Secretary, as requested,
    $11,680,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The
    Committee has included language regarding appraisal services in
    the front of this report.
        The Committee understands that the relationship between the
    Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of the
    Interior concerning the law enforcement activities on the
    Southwest border has improved. The DHS has worked closely with
    the Federal land managers on fence construction, daily patrol
    and interdiction activities, and the siting of surveillance and
    radio equipment. However, the public lands along the Southwest
    border contain some of the most environmentally diverse and
    sensitive habitats in the United States and must be protected
    and enhanced for future generations. To further protect the
    environment and improve the situation on the Southwest border,
    the Committee encourages the Department to work with the DHS to
    do the following:
         Partner with the DHS to provide training for
    border patrol agents in the Southwest on the mission and
    management of Federal public lands that are adjacent to the
    Southwest border. The Department should also provide training
    on basic environmental stewardship and natural resource
    management principles that would benefit border patrol agents
    in their daily patrol and interdiction activities on
    environmentally sensitive public lands.
         Work with the DHS to begin section 7 endangered
    species consultation on the daily operational, patrol and
    interdiction activities of the border patrol.
         Work with the public lands managers and the Tohono
    O'Odham Nation to develop a plan for removing the massive
    amounts of trash left behind by undocumented immigrants. The
    Department should work with DHS to establish a trash removal
    fund that could be accessed by public land managers and the
    Tohono O'Odham Nation to remove trash in the highest priority
    environmentally sensitive areas.
         Work to improve radio dispatch and
    interoperability for Federal law enforcement officers that
    patrol public lands in the Southwest, including ensuring that
    there are dispatch services available twenty-four hours a day.

                                INSULAR AFFAIRS

                           ASSISTANCE TO TERRITORIES

        The Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) was established on
    August 4, 1995, through Secretarial Order No. 3191, which also
    abolished the former Office of Territorial and International
    Affairs. The OIA has important responsibilities to help the
    United States government fulfill its responsibilities to the
    four U.S. territories of Guam, American Samoa (AS), U.S. Virgin
    Islands (USVI) and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
    Islands (CNMI) and also the three freely associated States: the
    Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the
    Marshall Islands (RMI) and the Republic of Palau. The permanent
    and trust fund payments to the territories and the compact
    nations provide substantial financial resources to these
    governments. During fiscal year 2004 new financial arrangements
    for the Compacts of Free Association with the FSM and the RMI
    were implemented; this also included mandatory payments for
    certain activities previously provided in discretionary
    appropriations as well as Compact impact payments of
    $30,000,000 per year split among Guam, CNMI, AS, and Hawaii.
    During fiscal year 2009 permanent funding of $359,477,000 will
    be made available to these governments in addition to the
    discretionary funding discussed below.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $78,665,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        81,077,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        83,995,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        +5,330,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +2,918,000
        The amounts recommended by the Committee for the Office of
    Insular Affairs appropriations accounts compared with the
    budget estimates by activity are shown in the following table:

        The Committee recommends $83,995,000 for assistance to
    territories, $5,330,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $2,918,000 above the budget request.
        Territorial Assistance.--The Committee recommends
    $33,523,000 for territorial assistance, $5,330,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $2,918,000 above the budget
    request. The Committee recommendation has discontinued specific
    funding for the Insular management controls subactivity but has
    transferred the funding to the technical assistance
    subactivity. The Office of Insular Affairs is encouraged to
    continue the management controls effort using technical
    assistance funding as appropriate. The recommendation fully
    funds the requested increase of $2,000,000 to begin to respond
    to the tremendous need for infrastructure in Guam as the
    military build-up proceeds. The recommendation includes a
    $900,000 increase for critically needed wastewater system
    repairs and improvements in the U.S. Virgin Islands as mandated
    by consent decree. The Committee has also added $2,018,000 to
    the technical assistance subactivity for high priority projects
    and $369,000 for the brown tree snake control and research
    effort, which is vital to protect islands throughout the
    Pacific.
        The Committee supports the Administration proposal to
    reestablish the position of Assistant Secretary for Insular
    Affairs; however the funding of this office should not come out
    of the limited resources of the Office of Insular Affairs. The
    new officer should be funded in a manner similar to the other
    Interior Department assistant secretaries.
        American Samoa.--The Committee recommends $22,752,000 for
    American Samoa operations as requested, the same as the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level.
        Northern Mariana Islands/Covenant Grants.--The Committee
    recommends $27,720,000 for CNMI covenant grants as requested,
    the same as the budget request.

                          COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $5,318,000

        Appropriation, 2009...............................                 0
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $5,318,000 for the Compact of Free
    Association as requested, the same as the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.

                   ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION, INSULAR AFFAIRS

        The Committee recommendation includes bill language under
    this heading which is similar to language requested under both
    the Assistance to Territories and the Compact of Free
    Association accounts. This language will allow the Interior
    Department to transfer certain funds designated for Guam to the
    U.S. Department of Agriculture, when requested by the Governor
    of Guam, as a subsidy for direct or guaranteed rural
    development loans to Guam for construction and repair projects.
    During the next ten years, the military will be moving major
    facilities and personnel to Guam, which will result in
    tremendous impacts on the island's infrastructure. This
    language, which does not supplant any existing USDA authority,
    will help the government of Guam respond to this unprecedented
    change.

                 OFFICE OF SPECIAL TRUSTEE FOR AMERICAN INDIANS

                             FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

        The Office of Special Trustee for American Indians was
    established by the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform
    Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-412). The Special Trustee is
    charged with general oversight of Indian trust asset reform
    efforts Department-wide to ensure proper and efficient
    discharge of the Secretary's trust responsibilities to Indian
    Tribes and individual Indians. The Office of the Special
    Trustee was created to ensure that the Department of the
    Interior establishes appropriate policies and procedures,
    develops necessary systems, and takes affirmative actions to
    reform the management of Indian trust funds. In carrying out
    the management and oversight of the Indian trust funds, the
    Secretary has a responsibility to ensure that trust accounts
    are properly maintained, invested and reported in accordance
    with the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of
    1994, Congressional action, and other applicable laws.
        The Special Trustee for American Indians also has
    responsibility for the related financial trust functions
    including deposit, investment, and disbursement of trust funds.
    The Department has responsibility for what may be the largest
    land trust in the world. Indian trust lands today encompass
    approximately 56 million acres of land--over 10 million acres
    belonging to individual Indians and nearly 46 million acres
    owned by Indian Tribes. On these lands, the Interior Department
    manages over 100,000 leases for individual Indians and Tribes.
    Leasing, use permits, sale revenues, and investment income of
    over $460 million per year are collected into over 378,000
    individual Indian money accounts, and almost $506 million per
    year is collected into approximately 1,800 Tribal accounts. In
    addition, the trust manages approximately $2.9 billion in
    Tribal funds and $444 million in individual Indian funds.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $181,648,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       185,984,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       185,984,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        +4,336,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $185,984,000 for Federal Trust
    programs, as requested, $4,336,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.
        Indian Tribes routinely experience lengthy delays in
    obtaining appraisals from the Department for transactions
    involving the conveyance of Indian trust lands. The Bureau of
    Indian Affairs is responsible for requesting appraisals and the
    Office of the Special Trustee is responsible for procuring the
    appraisals. Appraisals are required for Indian Tribes and
    individual Indians to sell, acquire or exchange interests in
    trust land. Delays in obtaining appraisals also delay these
    transactions, which negatively impacts Tribal economies. The
    Committee encourages the Office of the Special Trustee and the
    Bureau of Indian Affairs to reevaluate how appraisals are
    requested and prepared for Indian trust lands and provide
    recommendations to the Committee on how these delays can be
    minimized.
        Bill Language.--As in previous fiscal years, the Committee
    has included bill language under the Office of Special Trustee
    that limits the amount of funding available for historical
    accounting to $56,536,000.

                            Department-Wide Programs

        The Bureau's wildland fire management account supports fire
    activities for all Departmental bureaus, including the Bureau
    of Land Management, the National Park Service, the Fish and
    Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Before
    fiscal year 2009 this account was within the Bureau of Land
    Management appropriation.

        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +73,327,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................      +33,000,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $932,780,000 for wildland fire
    management at the Department of the Interior, $73,327,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 non-emergency enacted level and
    $33,000,000 above the budget request. A total of $34,606,000 of
    this increase is for suppression activities. This discussion
    does not include the additional $75,000,000 provided for the
    emergency wildfire suppression contingency reserve fund.
    Additional discussion of wildfire issues is included in the
    front of this report. The amounts recommended by the Committee
    compared with the budget estimates by activity are shown in the
    following table:

        Wildfire Preparedness.--The Committee recommends
    $290,452,000 for wildfire preparedness, $8,685,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $5,000,000 above the budget
    request. The increase is provided for fixed cost changes. The
    Committee believes that the Department and the Forest Service
    must work together, along with States and other partners, to
    maintain sufficient readiness with the preparedness program.
    The Committee expects that the Department will do its utmost to
    maintain wildfire suppression capability at least at the same
    levels as in fiscal years 2008 and 2009. The Department should
    immediately notify the Committees on Appropriations if it
    appears that funding shortfalls may limit needed firefighting
    capacity.
        Wildfire Suppression Operations.--The Committee recommends
    $369,797,000 for fire suppression operations as requested,
    $34,606,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The
    Committee recommendation fully meets the 10-year average
    expenditure on emergency and discretionary funded suppression
    actions which actually occurred, adjusted up for inflation. The
    Committee encourages the Administration and the Congress to
    provide better advance budgetary planning during the summer
    wildfire season so extra emergency resources can be provided if
    required.
        The Committee remains concerned about the high costs of
    large fire incidents. The Department of the Interior, along
    with the Forest Service, should ensure that cost containment is
    an important priority when suppressing wildland fires.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Department of the Interior
    and the Forest Service to continue reports required previously
    and to examine, using independent panels, any individual
    wildfire incident which results in expenses greater than
    $10,000,000.
        Other Wildland Fire Management Operations.--The Committee
    recommends $272,531,000 for other national fire plan wildland
    fire operations, $30,036,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $28,000,000 above the request. The Committee
    recommends increasing the hazardous fuels reduction program by
    $28,000,000 over the request. Other subactivities are funded at
    the requested levels.

    WILDLAND FIRE SUPPRESSION CONTINGENCY RESERVE FUND (INCLUDING TRANSFER
                                   OF FUNDS)
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................                 0
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       $75,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        75,000,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +75,000,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $75,000,000 for the newly created
    wildland fire suppression contingency reserve fund as
    requested. The Committee notes that the recommended bill also
    has increased base funding for suppression activities by
    $34,606,000 to a total of $369,797,000 for fire suppression
    operations at the Interior Department, as requested, an
    increase of 10 percent. The combined wildfire suppression
    funding for the Interior Department is $444,797,000, a 44
    percent increase over the fiscal year 2009 base appropriation.
    The Committee also notes that H.R. 2346, the Supplemental
    Appropriations Act, 2009, includes another $50,000,000 for
    Interior Department emergency wildfire suppression activities.
        As requested by the Administration, the amounts in this
    fund may only be transferred if the President has issued a
    finding that the amounts are necessary for emergency fire
    suppression.
        The Committee notes that its recommendation also includes
    another $1,128,505,000 for the USDA Forest Service as base
    suppression funding and an additional $282,000,000 for a
    similar contingency account. Thus, the Committee recommendation
    for both wildfire suppression accounts in both departments is
    $1,855,302,000, which is a 40 percent increase over the fiscal
    year 2009 non-emergency level.
        The Committee notes that the Federal Land Assistance,
    Management and Enhancement Act (FLAME Act) passed the House in
    March 2009. That Act authorizes a supplemental funding source
    for catastrophic emergency wildland fire suppression activities
    on Department of the Interior and National Forest System lands.
    If the FLAME Act is authorized, the Committee will work with
    the Administration and others to make this new wildfire
    suppression contingency fund compatible with the new FLAME Act
    funding procedures.

    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................           +27,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $10,175,000 for the central
    hazardous materials fund as requested, $27,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level.

               Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration

                    NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT FUND
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $6,338,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         6,462,000

    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................          +124,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $6,462,000 for the natural
    resource damage assessment fund, as requested, $124,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.

                              Working Capital Fund

     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $73,435,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        85,823,000

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $85,823,000 for the working
    capital fund, the requested level, and $12,338,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The Committee has also provided
    the Administrative provision, as requested, governing
    acquisition of certain aircraft.

                   TITLE II--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

        The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created by
    Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970, which consolidated nine
    programs from five different agencies and departments. Major
    EPA programs include air and water quality, drinking water,
    hazardous waste, research, pesticides, radiation, toxic
    substances, enforcement and compliance assurance, pollution
    prevention, oil spills, Superfund, Brownfields, and the Leaking
    Underground Storage Tank program. In addition, EPA provides
    Federal assistance for wastewater treatment, sewer overflow
    control, drinking water facilities, other water infrastructure
    projects, and diesel emission reduction projects. The Agency is
    responsible for conducting research and development,
    establishing environmental standards through the use of risk
    assessment and cost-benefit, monitoring pollution conditions,
    seeking compliance through enforcement actions, managing audits
    and investigations, and providing technical assistance and
    grant support to States and Tribes, which are delegated
    authority for much of the program implementation. Under
    existing statutory authority, the Agency contributes to
    specific homeland security efforts and may participate in
    international environmental activities.
        Among the statutes for which the Environmental Protection
    Agency has sole or significant oversight responsibilities are:
        National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.
        Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as
    amended.
        Toxic Substances Control Act, as amended.
        Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended.
        Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended.
        Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972,
    as amended.
        Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
        Public Health Service Act (Title XIV), as amended.
        Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended.
        Clean Air Act, as amended.
        Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended.
        Great Lakes Legacy Act of 2002.
        Bioterrorism Act of 2002.
        Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
    Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended.
        Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields
    Revitalization Act of 2002 (amending CERCLA).
        Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986.
        Pollution Prevention Act of 1990.
        Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended.
        Pollution Prosecution Act of 1990.
        Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003.
        Energy Policy Act of 2005.
        Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
        For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends
    $10,569,962,000 for the Environmental Protection Agency,
    $2,934,288,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $83,962,000 above the budget request. The Committee is pleased
    to see that the request sustains many of the important
    increases it added to the Agency's budget in fiscal years 2008
    and 2009. The amounts recommended by the Committee are changes
    to the request. Comparison to the budget request and 2009
    enacted levels are shown by account, program area and selected
    activity in the following table.

        Reprogrammings.--The Agency is held to the bill-wide
    reprogramming limitation of $1,000,000. This limitation will be
    applied to each program area in every account at the levels
    provided in the detailed table above. This will allow the
    Agency the flexibility to reprogram funds within a set program
    area. However, where the Committee has cited funding levels for
    certain program-projects or activities within a program area,
    the reprogramming limitation continues to apply to those
    funding levels. The other guidelines laid out in the
    ``Reprogramming Guidelines'' section of the Committee's Report
    continue to be in effect.
        Congressional Budget Justification.--The Committee directs
    the Agency to include in future Justifications the following
    items: (1) a comprehensive index of programs and activities
    within the program-projects; (2) the requested bill language,
    with changes highlighted, at the beginning of each account
    section; and, (3) a justification for every program/project,
    including those proposed for elimination.
        Workforce Planning.--The Committee notes that EPA has not
    systematically sought to align changes in workload with its
    staff allocations. The Government Accountability Office
    reported to the Committee that ``. . . in preparing requests
    for funding and staffing, EPA makes incremental adjustments,
    largely based on an antiquated workforce planning system that
    does not reflect a bottom-up review of the nature or
    distribution of the current workload.'' Given the work facing
    the Agency over the next few years, the Committee believes it
    is imperative that the Agency improve its funding and staffing
    models. The Committee directs the Agency to identify the
    factors that derive the national and regional workload and
    develop more realistic allocation systems for deploying staff
    with the requisite skills and capabilities to areas of the
    country where they are most needed to address the highest-
    priority needs. The Agency is also directed to provide
    quarterly updates on its progress in meeting this directive.

                             SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

        The Science and Technology (S&T) account funds all
    Environmental Protection Agency research (including Superfund
    research activities paid with funds moved into this account
    from the Hazardous Substance Superfund account). This account
    includes programs carried out through grants, contracts, and
    cooperative agreements with other Federal agencies, States,
    universities, and private business, as well as in-house
    research. It also funds personnel compensation and benefits,
    travel, supplies and operating expenses, including rent,
    utilities and security, for all Agency research. Research
    addresses a wide range of environmental and health concerns
    across all environmental media and encompasses both long-term
    basic and near-term applied research to provide the scientific
    knowledge and technologies necessary for preventing,
    regulating, and abating pollution, and to anticipate emerging
    environmental issues.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $790,051,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       842,349,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       849,649,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +59,598,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +7,300,000
        The Committee recommends $849,649,000 for science and
    technology, $59,598,000 above the fiscal 2009 enacted level and
    $7,300,000 above the budget request. The Committee recommends
    that $26,834,000, as requested by the President, be paid to
    this account from the Hazardous Substance Superfund account for
    ongoing research activities consistent with the intent of the
    Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
    Liability Act of 1980, as amended. The changes to the request,
    as recommended by the Committee, appear in the table at the
    beginning of this title. The Committee provides the following
    additional detail by program area.
        Air Toxics and Quality.--The Committee recommends
    $122,256,000 as requested, $17,124,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level. Within this amount, the Committee has
    provided the requested levels for the CASTNET program
    ($3,951,000) and the TIME-LTM program ($720,000), which has
    moved from the Research: Human Health and Ecosystems program
    into this program. The Committee supports the Agency's work on
    the renewable fuels standard, and has provided the request of
    $21,327,000. The Committee directs that at least $10,300,000 be
    available for lab capacity and upgrades and $5,000,000 for
    implementation and compliance of the rule.
        Climate Protection Program.--The Committee recommends
    $20,575,000 for the Clean Automotive Technology and Fuel Cell
    and Hydrogen programs, $3,747,000 above the 2009 enacted level
    and $1,600,000 above the request. The Committee continues to
    support this important program and looks forward to the
    hydraulic hybrid technology achieving initial commercialization
    in 2010.
        Homeland Security.--The Committee recommends $66,332,000
    for Homeland Security, $2,614,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $5,000,000 below the request. Within this
    amount, the Committee provides $18,726,000 for the Water
    Security Initiative, which is a 25 percent increase above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        Research: Clean Air.--The Committee recommends $104,073,000
    as requested, $5,646,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level. This includes the requested level of $20,909,000 for
    Global Change Research. The Committee supports the Agency's
    efforts to expand its projections on the effects of climate
    change on air and water quality and how it will affect
    attainment of air and water quality standards nation-wide. The
    Committee expects the Agency to use a portion of these funds to
    evaluate alternative strategies for reducing greenhouse gas
    emissions.
        Research: Clean Water.--The Committee recommends
    $110,363,000 as requested, $4,199,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level. The Committee directs the Agency to use the
    majority of the increase above the prior year to expand
    research on green (water) infrastructure, including assessment
    and development of scientifically rigorous tools and models for
    use by EPA and State water programs. Because 20 percent of the
    State Revolving Funds provided in the American Recovery and
    Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and in this bill are targeted to green
    infrastructure, it is important that the Agency develop
    technical information to help quantify the environmental
    benefits of various types of green infrastructure and their
    contribution towards compliance with environmental standards.
        Research: Priorities.--The Committee recommends $5,700,000
    to support a select number of programs, which provide
    significant national or regional benefits, and provides funding
    for the following grants:
              Water Environment Research Foundation, $2,000,000;
              Water Research Foundation, $1,700,000;
              Southwest Consortium for Environmental Research,
            $1,000,000; and,
              Consortium for Plant Biotechnology Research,
            $1,000,000.
        Research: Human Health and Ecosystems.--The Committee
    recommends $250,381,000, which is $20,978,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level and $5,000,000 above the budget
    request. Within the total provided, the Committee directs that
    at least $11,422,000 be for Endocrine Disruptor Research. The
    Committee also has included an additional $2,000,000 to fund
    four new centers of excellence for children's environmental
    health. These funds will allow the Agency to fully fund its
    request for proposals at approximately $500,000 a year, rather
    than the lower amount planned. Because many children spend more
    than 40 hours a week in child care, the Committee urges that
    one of the four centers focus on child care settings. The
    Committee directs the Agency to use the remaining $3,000,000
    increase to accelerate research on the effects on children from
    environmental chemicals and toxins.
        The Committee heard testimony this year concerning the need
    to more fully consider impacts to children when developing
    environmental policy and setting public health standards. Every
    day, children are exposed to a mix of chemicals, most of which
    have not been tested specifically for effects on children's
    still developing systems. Because children are more vulnerable
    than adults to toxic chemicals, the Committee believes it is
    important to address this issue and commends the Agency for its
    initiative to monitor air toxics around schools. The Committee
    directs the Agency to continue its efforts to protect children
    from environmental hazards, such as expanding its knowledge of
    children's exposure in child care and school settings and the
    impact of these exposures on children's health and development.
        The Committee notes that it also has provided the requested
    level for the Human Health Risk Assessments program, which
    includes a $5,783,000 and 10 FTE increase above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level for the Integrated Risk Information System
    (IRIS) Health Assessments. The Committee directs the Agency to
    use a portion of these funds to expedite its risk assessment
    for trichloroethylene (TCE). The Committee expects that the
    increase, coupled with the revised IRIS process announced by
    the Administrator on May 21, 2009, will allow the Agency to
    expedite these long delayed reviews. The Committee supports the
    new process which it believes will increase transparency and
    reduce delays in finalizing assessments.
        Additional Guidance.--The Committee has included the
    following additional guidance with respect to funding provided
    under this account.
        Science to Achieve Results (STAR) across the Science and
    Technology Account.--The Committee notes that EPA research is a
    critical part of the Agency's mission. This includes the work
    of EPA scientists and engineers complemented by university
    based researchers. The budget request includes a 4 percent
    increase in the STAR program. This is a competitively awarded,
    independently peer reviewed grants program designed to ensure
    that the Agency is able to engage the best researchers outside
    EPA in a number of scientific and engineering disciplines. The
    Committee expects the request for this program to increase each
    year until the program is restored to its historic levels.
        Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) Study.--The
    Committee continues to believe it is important that the Agency
    study human health effects and ecosystem impacts from exposure
    to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through parking lot seal-
    coatings. The Committee directs the Agency to report on its
    efforts to the Committee.
        Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Study.--The Committee is
    aware of concerns about the public health impacts of
    polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) frequently used in window
    caulking in schools, public housing, hospitals, and other
    public buildings from the 1940s to 1977. The Committee urges
    the Agency to investigate the potential adverse health and
    environmental impacts of PCBs, with a special focus on school
    populations, and to recommend testing protocols and remediation
    techniques to mitigate these effects.
        Contaminants in Water Supply.--The Committee recognizes the
    potential harm to human health and the environment caused by
    Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in our nation's water
    supply. CECs include endocrine disrupting compounds, additives
    to personal care products, and industrial contaminants. Though
    there have been hundreds of studies on CECs over the past
    decade, the scientific community still lacks an understanding
    of the level of CECs in our environment and their impacts on
    human health and ecosystems. Years of research have resulted in
    piecemeal efforts, focused on a subset of compounds or a single
    effect in one location. The Committee encourages the Agency to
    develop a plan that synthesizes this body of research and
    applies a systems approach to this problem.
        Air Quality Research.--The Committee encourages EPA to
    establish a competitively awarded, national research facility
    that would be made available for use by U.S. industry,
    universities, other national laboratories, State and local
    governments, and the scientific community in general and would
    help address many of the issues relating to particulate matter,
    ozone, and atmospheric transformations, and their modeling, and
    monitoring. The Committee notes the need for additional air
    quality research such as that conducted at the University of
    California, Riverside in its second generation atmospheric
    chamber.
        Hydraulic Fracturing.--The Committee is concerned about the
    risks posed to drinking water from hydraulic fracturing. The
    Committee questions whether past reviews by the Agency relied
    on independent sources of information and the best available
    science. The Committee urges EPA to review the risks that
    hydraulic fracturing poses to drinking water supplies, using
    the best available science, as well as independent sources of
    information.
        Mickey Leland National Urban Air Toxics Research Center.--
    The Committee notes the valuable work of the Mickey Leland
    National Urban Air Toxics Research Center (the NUATRC),
    authorized by Congress in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
    (Title III, Sect. 112(p)). Since incorporating in 1991, the
    NUATRC has sponsored scientific research and development that
    has furthered the understanding of the human health effects
    caused by exposure to air toxics. The Committee is concerned
    that, despite the Center being fully authorized by Congress,
    the Administration has not included funding for the NUATRC in
    the budget for the Environmental Protection Agency. Given the
    concern of the human health threat of air toxics, the record of
    contribution by the Center, and the need for additional
    scientific understanding to appropriately address air toxics,
    the Committee urges the Administration to fully evaluate
    including funding for the NUATRC in future year budget
    requests.

                     ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS AND MANAGEMENT

        The Environmental Programs and Management account
    encompasses a broad range of abatement, prevention,
    enforcement, and compliance activities, and personnel
    compensation, benefits, travel, and expenses for all programs
    of the Agency except Science and Technology, Hazardous
    Substance Superfund, Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust
    Fund, Oil Spill Response, and the Office of Inspector General.
        Abatement, prevention, and compliance activities include
    setting environmental standards, issuing permits, monitoring
    emissions and ambient conditions and providing technical and
    legal assistance toward enforcement, compliance, and oversight.
    In most cases, the States are directly responsible for actual
    operation of the various environmental programs, and the
    Agency's activities include oversight and assistance.
        In addition to program costs, this account funds
    administrative costs associated with the operating programs of
    the Agency, including support for executive direction, policy
    oversight, resources management, general office and building
    services for program operations, and direct implementation of
    Agency environmental programs for headquarters, the ten EPA
    regional offices, and all non-research field operations.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................    $2,392,079,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     2,940,564,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     3,022,054,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................      +629,975,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................       +81,490,000
        The Committee recommends $3,022,054,000 for environmental
    programs and management, $629,975,000 above the 2009 enacted
    level and $81,490,000 above the budget request. The changes to
    the request, as recommended by the Committee, appear in the
    table at the beginning of this title. The Committee provides
    the following additional detail by program area:
        Air Toxics and Quality.--Within the amount provided, the
    Committee directs the Agency to spend not less than the request
    for the Sunwise program. The Committee also has provided the
    request for the air toxics monitoring at schools program.
        Brownfields.--The Committee recommends $24,579,000 for this
    program, $1,622,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level
    and $675,000 below the budget request. Within this amount, the
    Committee provides $1,246,000 for the Smart Growth program. The
    Committee has provided funds for five additional FTEs, rather
    than the requested 10, to manage recent increases in this grant
    program.
        Climate Protection.--The Committee recommends $111,634,000
    as requested for this program, $17,363,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level. From within the new total, the
    Committee directs the following program amounts: (1)
    $50,748,000 for the Energy Star program; (2) $17,005,000 for
    continued development and operation of the Greenhouse Gas
    Registry; and (3) $4,582,000 for the Methane-to-Markets
    program.
        Enforcement.--The Committee recommends $223,943,000 as
    requested, $14,786,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level. From within this amount, the Committee directs no less
    than $7,203,000 for Environmental Justice programs.
        Environmental Protection/Priorities.--The Committee
    recommends $16,950,000 above the request. The Committee
    continues to support a select number of programs, which provide
    significant national or regional benefits, and provides funding
    for the following grants:
              National Rural Water Association, $13,000,000;
              Rural Community Assistance Program, $2,500,000;
              Water Systems Council, Wellcare, $700,000; and,
              National Biosolids Partnership, $750,000.
        Geographic Programs.--The Committee recommends $628,941,000
    for these programs, which is $532,982,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $77,811,000 above the budget request.
    This amount provides the request for the Community Action for a
    Renewed Environment Program and the Geographic Program: Other
    activities. The Committee, again this year, has provided
    increases to programs that support restoration and protection
    of our nation's most important water bodies. Protection of
    these resources has been a priority for the Committee, which is
    pleased that the President's Budget recognizes this initiative
    by requesting significant increases. These funds, coupled with
    increases provided elsewhere for the National Estuaries
    Program, continue the Committee's commitment to protect one of
    our nation's most important natural resources, water. The
    Committee has included bill language specifying the amount
    available for the programs funded in this area. From within the
    amount provided, the Committee directs the following
    allocation:
        Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.--$475,000,000 for the
    new Great Lakes Restoration Initiative as requested. Included
    in this amount is funding for the Agency's Great Lakes National
    Program Office and its work to implement the Great Lakes Legacy
    Act.
        The Committee fully supports the Administration's efforts
    to restore the Great Lakes and has included the President's
    request of $475,000,000 for the Great Lakes Restoration
    Initiative to fund an interagency restoration effort, led by
    the Environmental Protection Agency. The Committee expects EPA
    to use these funds to implement portions of the Great Lakes
    Collaboration Strategy. Once final funding allocations are
    made, EPA is directed to report those decisions to the
    Committee and to notify the Committee of any subsequent changes
    during the period these funds are available for obligation.
        The Committee directs EPA to use funds provided to
    implement the Great Lakes Legacy Act to support the Great Lakes
    National Program Office and supplement and expand programs
    beyond those undertaken in the prior fiscal years. Because the
    Administration's initiative proposes EPA as the lead agency,
    with all funding flowing through EPA, the request includes over
    $130,000,000 for agencies not usually funded through the
    Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Subcommittee. The
    Committee, therefore, directs the EPA to work with other
    Federal agencies to ensure that funds transferred through
    interagency agreements are used to increase each Agency's level
    of effort by supplementing and expanding existing programs.
    Additionally, of the funds provided, the Committee directs that
    a substantial portion be provided for restoration activities
    conducted by non-federal partners. The Committee directs EPA
    and the other Federal agencies to exercise maximum flexibility
    in determining non-federal match requirements in recognition of
    the exceptional economic circumstances and the significant
    ongoing investments made by non-federal partners.
        The Committee directs EPA to work with other Federal
    agencies, Great Lakes area governors, mayors, Tribal leaders,
    regional organizations and other stakeholders to establish a
    process to provide advice, guidance and recommendations and
    that will assist EPA in fiscal year 2011 and future years. To
    meet this directive, EPA should:
              (1) Develop a comprehensive, multi-year restoration
            action plan that will lead to the restoration of the
            Great Lakes;
              (2) Engage an independent, scientific panel or panels
            to review the scientific credibility of the restoration
            plan;
              (3) Assure that the Great Lakes restoration
            initiative's goals, objectives and targets are aligned
            with those of the Great Lakes States, local and Tribal
            governments;
              (4) Make annual decisions on restoration priorities,
            activities, projects and funding levels; and,
              (5) Establish a mechanism for monitoring and
            reporting on progress.
        As mentioned above, the Committee directs EPA to develop a
    comprehensive restoration action plan using the 2005
    Collaboration Strategy as its base. This plan should help to
    inform funding decisions in fiscal year 2011 and the outyears
    and should include the following:
              (1) An explanation of the process established by EPA
            to collaborate with States and non-federal partners to
            guide implementation of the restoration initiative;
              (2) Targets and measurable objectives that the Great
            Lakes Restoration Initiative expects to achieve over
            the next five fiscal years beginning in fiscal year
            2010;
              (3) A description of the process that the Great Lakes
            Restoration Initiative will use to track and measure
            progress, including an explanation of the means by
            which EPA will use scientific research to target
            restoration priorities and adapt and modify activities
            in fiscal years 2011;
              (4) A description of the funding provided by the
            Committee to EPA and other Federal agencies to support
            Great Lakes restoration activities, including
            information comparing funding and programs supported
            from one year to the next (e.g. in fiscal year 2009 to
            programs in fiscal year 2010); and
              (5) A description of efforts to coordinate
            restoration activities in the U.S. with those of the
            Canadian and provincial governments.
        Chesapeake Bay.--$50,000,000 for the Chesapeake Bay
    Program. The Committee has provided an increase of $14,861,000
    above the budget request. From within this amount, the
    Committee has fully funded the $17,511,000 request for the
    Agency's program office and provides at least $8,000,000 to
    nutrient and sediment removal grants and $2,000,000 for small
    watershed grants. The Committee recommends this funding level
    to improve and accelerate the performance of Federal and State
    programs to protect the Chesapeake Bay. EPA's most recent
    monitoring data concluded that the Chesapeake Bay watershed is
    attaining only 21 percent of its water quality goals, and that
    its largest challenge remains controlling polluted runoff from
    urban, suburban and agricultural lands. The Committee is
    encouraged by Executive Order 13508 and supports its direction
    to EPA to fully utilize its authorities under the Clean Water
    Act to protect and restore water quality and the commitment to
    increase enforcement and compliance activities in the
    watershed.
        The Committee directs that the increase be used to
    strengthen the regulatory and accountability programs for
    controlling pollution from urban, suburban and agricultural
    lands. This direction is consistent with the recent findings of
    the EPA Inspector General and the Government Accountability
    Office. The Committee further directs the Agency to re-examine
    its existing Chesapeake Bay grant programs to assess how best
    to increase the States' capacity to strengthen their regulatory
    and accountability programs administered under the Clean Water
    Act. After the Agency conducts this re-examination, a portion
    of the increase should be provided to the States. Finally, in
    light of this increase, the Agency is directed to provide the
    Committee with a detailed report within 30 days of enactment of
    this act on its anticipated spending for the 2010 fiscal year.
        Puget Sound.--$50,000,000 for implementation of the Puget
    Sound Action Agenda. The Agency is directed to provide a grant
    of $4,000,000 to the Puget Sound Ecosystem Research Initiative
    at the University of Washington's College of the Environment to
    conduct, coordinate, and disseminate scientific research to
    inform policy decisions necessary to carry out the Action
    Agenda. The remaining funds should be used for the Agency's
    intramural costs, cooperative agreements, interagency
    agreements, contracts and competitive grants, including a
    competitive grant for a State entity to manage implementation
    of the Action Agenda. Prior to announcing any requests for
    proposals for competitive grants, the Committee expects the
    Agency to coordinate with the State on priorities for funding
    requests for proposals, except where the State is expected to
    compete for said grant.
        Long Island Sound.--$15,000,000 for implementation of the
    Long Island Sound Restoration Act and the Long Island Sound
    Stewardship Act. The Agency is directed to report to the
    Committee the methodology it uses to distribute the funds
    between the two Acts.
        San Francisco Bay program.--$15,000,000 to continue
    competitive grants to State and local governments and partner
    organizations to implement projects that improve water quality
    and restore Bay watersheds.
        Gulf of Mexico program.--$10,000,000.
        Lake Champlain program.--$5,000,000.
        Lake Pontchartrain restoration program.--$3,000,000.
        Information Exchange/Outreach.--The Committee recommends
    $131,472,000, which is $5,129,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $353,000 below the request. From within this
    amount, the Committee directs:
              $10,038,000 for the Environmental Education Program.
            The Agency is directed to apply the funding formula
            authorized in the National Environmental Education Act.
              $16,860,000 for the Exchange Network.
              $50,480,000 for Congressional, Intergovernmental and
            External Activities.
              $7,015,000 for Children and Other Sensitive
            Populations.
        The Committee has provided an increase of $500,000 above
    the request for the Agency to begin to create and disseminate
    guidelines mandated in the Healthy High Performance Schools Act
    of 2007 (Title V of the Energy Independence and Security Act).
    These guidelines for siting school facilities and environmental
    health programs for schools will help to ensure that our
    children are protected from environmental hazards.
        IT/Data Management/Security.--The Committee recommends
    $104,320,000, $5,295,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $5,000,000 below the budget request. The Committee
    directs that none of the reduction be taken from the amount
    requested to restore and maintain the Agency's library system.
        Legal/Science/Regulatory/Economic Review.--The Committee
    recommends $123,788,000 for these programs, $5,665,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $4,443,000 below the
    budget request. The Committee has not provided funds to
    continue the Performance Track Program and awaits the Agency's
    review of this and other programs that rely on voluntary
    compliance. The Committee commends the Administrator for her
    decision to pause the Performance Track Program to look for
    opportunities to improve it. The Committee firmly believes
    programs which promote voluntary compliance with the law are
    valuable, but should augment and not replace the regulatory
    framework. The Committee has provided the requested level of
    $3,900,000 for the portion of the Smart Growth Program funded
    under this program area. In addition, the Committee has
    provided $19,215,000 for the Regulatory/Economic Management and
    Analysis Program, a reduction of $3,188,000 from the request
    and $2,486,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        Operations and Administration.--The Committee recommends
    $501,895,000 for Operations and Administration, $22,698,000
    above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $10,000,000 below
    the budget request. The Committee directs the reduction to be
    allocated as follows:
              -$5,000,000 from rent and utility savings;
              -$5,000,000 from the Financial System Modernization
            Project (FSMP).
        Although the Committee's detailed table shows the first
    reduction to the rent request, the Agency may use utility and
    security savings to achieve a portion of the reduction.
        Water: Ecosystems.--The Committee recommends $61,503,000
    for this program, which is $12,407,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $11,200,000 above the request, without
    the Great Lakes Legacy Act. Funds for the Great Lakes Legacy
    Act have been moved to Geographic Programs. From within the
    amount provided, the Committee directs $28,000,000 to the
    National Estuary Program grant, authorized by section 320 of
    the Clean Water Act. The Committee directs that each national
    estuary receive a minimum of $1,000,000. This increase is an
    important component of the Committee's efforts to restore and
    protect our nation's Great Water Bodies.
        Water Quality Protection.--The Committee recommends
    $221,836,000 for this program, $11,019,000 above the 2009
    enacted level and $2,000,000 below the request. The reduction
    was taken to the Surface Water Protection program.
        Additional Guidance.--The Committee has included the
    following additional guidance with respect to funding provided
    under this account.
        Water Sense Partnership Program.--The Committee supports
    the Agency's program in partnership with manufacturers,
    retailers and distributors, water utilities, and others. The
    Committee recognizes that water efficiency is one method,
    although not the only method, to deal with our nation's aging
    water infrastructure and water supply problems. The Water Sense
    program seeks to protect the future of our nation's water
    supply by promoting water efficiency and enhancing the market
    for water-efficient products, programs, and practices. The
    Committee encourages the Agency to expand the Water Sense label
    and encourages the Agency to continue developing water
    efficiency and performance criteria for additional products.
        Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals.--The Committee continues to
    have a strong interest in EPA's efforts to assess the impact of
    endocrine disrupting chemicals on the environment and on human
    health. In reviewing the progress EPA has made to date, the
    Committee now directs EPA to:
        (1) Create a database of the initial pesticide chemicals to
    be screened in the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program
    (EDSP), made available on EPA's Website. The database should be
    updated to include the date a test order is issued and to whom,
    the due date for completing and submitting the data, the
    recipient's response to the order, including requests for
    extensions if any, and the results of Tier I screening or Tier
    II testing for each chemical listed.
        (2) Develop and publish criteria for evaluating the results
    of Tier I screening and determining whether a chemical should
    undergo Tier II analysis within one year of enactment. The
    process should allow for public input.
        (3) Publish within one year of enactment a second list of
    no less than 100 chemicals for screening that includes drinking
    water contaminants, such as halogenated organic chemicals,
    dioxins, flame retardants (PBDEs, PCBs, PFCs), plastics (BPA),
    pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and issue 25 orders
    per year for the testing of these chemicals. This process also
    should allow for public input.
        (4) Engage in a timely re-evaluation of the battery of
    screening, replacing outdated ones with updated, more efficient
    screens that have been validated (for example, a recombinant
    receptor assay to replace the cytosolic receptor assay for
    estrogen receptor binding).
        The Committee also encourages EPA to investigate assays to
    include in future screening protocols that expand screening
    beyond estrogen, androgen or thyroid disruption to include
    other hormones that are important for metabolism and weight
    regulation (e.g., insulin and the adrenal corticosteroids).
        NORM and TENORM.--The Committee recognizes the potential
    danger in the wastes that result from uranium mining commonly
    known as NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) or
    TENORM (Technically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive
    Materials). The Committee urges the Agency to monitor these
    potentially harmful waste levels at new uranium mining sites,
    specifically those new uranium mining sites to be located in
    South Texas along the border with Mexico.
        Western Lake Erie Basin Partnership.--The Committee is
    encouraged that the Agency has begun to engage more
    collaboratively with the Western Lake Erie Basin Partnership.
    The Committee recognizes the work of the Western Lake Erie
    Basin Partnership as informative to broader basin restoration
    activities and encourages EPA to continue to collaborate with
    the dozens of partners involved in this regional effort.
        Colony Collapse Disorder.--Colony Collapse Disorder is the
    latest manifestation of pollinator decline in the United
    States. During the winters of 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 more than
    35 percent of managed honey bee populations disappeared,
    threatening $15 billion worth of agriculture that is pollinated
    by commercial beekeeping operations. Although the cause is
    unknown, pesticides have been linked to bee deaths in the past
    and are suspected to contribute to the latest decline. The
    Committee strongly urges the Agency to incorporate an
    assessment of the impacts on pollinators into the ecological
    assessment and registration or re-registration determination
    for each pesticide.

                          OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

        The Office of Inspector General (OIG) provides audit,
    evaluation, and investigation products and advisory services to
    improve the performance and integrity of EPA programs and
    operations. The Inspector General (IG) will continue to perform
    the function of IG for the Chemical Safety and Hazard
    Investigation Board. This account funds personnel compensation
    and benefits, travel, and expenses (excluding rent, utilities,
    and security costs) for the Office of Inspector General. In
    addition to the funds provided under this heading, this account
    receives funds from the Hazardous Substance Superfund account
    and from the Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigations Board.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................       $44,791,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        44,791,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        44,791,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................                 0
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                0*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $44,791,000 for the Office of
    Inspector General as requested and the amount provided for
    fiscal year 2009. In addition, the Committee has provided the
    requested amounts to be transferred to this account from the
    Hazardous Substance Superfund ($9,975,000) account and from the
    Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigations Board (the Board)
    Account ($150,000).
        The Committee has again included authorization for the EPA
    IG to serve as the IG for the Board. To ensure a continued IG
    presence at the Board, the Committee has provided $150,000 to
    be transferred from the Board's appropriation account to this
    account. The funds are to be used for positions and extramural
    costs associated with the IG's work as the Inspector General of
    the Board. The Committee expects the IG to use these funds to
    expand the scope of work beyond what the OIG has produced in
    recent years and directs it to continue with the issues
    identified in the recent work by the Government Accountability
    Office.

                            BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

        The Buildings and Facilities account provides for the
    design and construction of EPA-owned facilities as well as for
    the repair, extension, alteration, and improvement of
    facilities used by the Agency. The funds are used to correct
    unsafe conditions, protect health and safety of employees and
    Agency visitors, and prevent deterioration of structures and
    equipment.

                         HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE SUPERFUND

                         (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

        The Hazardous Substance Superfund (Superfund) program was
    established in 1980 by the Comprehensive Environmental
    Response, Compensation, and Liability Act to clean-up emergency
    hazardous materials, spills, and dangerous, uncontrolled, and/
    or abandoned hazardous waste sites. The Superfund Amendments
    and Reauthorization Act (SARA) expanded the program
    substantially in 1986, authorizing approximately $8,500,000,000
    in revenues over five years. In 1990, the Omnibus Budget
    Reconciliation Act extended the program's authorization through
    1994 for $5,100,000,000 with taxing authority through calendar
    year 1995.
        The Superfund program is operated by EPA subject to annual
    appropriations from a dedicated trust fund and from general
    revenues. Enforcement activities are used to identify and
    induce parties responsible for hazardous waste problems to
    undertake clean-up actions and pay for EPA oversight of those
    actions. In addition, responsible parties have been required to
    cover the cost of fund-financed removal and remedial actions
    undertaken at spills and waste sites by Federal and State
    agencies. Funds are paid from this account to the Office of
    Inspector General and Science and Technology accounts for
    Superfund related activities.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................    $1,285,024,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     1,308,541,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     1,306,541,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +21,517,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................       -2,000,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $1,306,541,000 for the Hazardous
    Substance Superfund, $21,517,000 above the 2009 enacted level
    and $2,000,000 below the budget request. The changes to the
    request, as recommended by the Committee, appear in the table
    at the beginning of this title. The Committee provides the
    following additional detail by program area.
        Operations and Administration.--The Committee recommends
    $137,923,000, $3,280,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $2,000,000 below the budget request. The budget
    request assumes a slight reduction in FTEs for this account and
    therefore the Committee has not approved the total increase
    requested for human resources management.
        Superfund Cleanup.--The Committee has provided $856,412,000
    as requested, $9,054,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level. The majority of this increase will go to Emergency
    Response and Removal. The request for the Superfund Remedial
    program remains the same as the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
    The Committee is concerned that the Agency estimates it will
    complete construction at only 22 sites on the National Priority
    List. This is two less than the estimate of completions in
    fiscal year 2009. With the proposed reinstatement of the
    Superfund tax, the Committee expects future budget requests
    will include funding sufficient to increase the number of
    annual ``construction completes'' in this program.
        Bill Language.--Bill language is included to pay
    $26,834,000 from this account to the Science and Technology
    Account, and $9,975,000 to the Office of Inspector General
    Account, as requested.
        Additional Guidance.--The Committee has included the
    following additional guidance with respect to funding provided
    under this account.
        Superfund Special Accounts.--The Inspector General has
    previously reported that EPA had large amounts of Superfund
    money in special accounts that EPA could potentially transfer
    to the Superfund Trust Fund. In a March 2009 report ``Improved
    Management of Superfund Special Accounts Will Make More Funds
    Available for Clean-ups'', the OIG found their earlier
    recommendations to better manage Superfund resources remained
    unimplemented, hindering EPA's ability to maximize the use of
    these much needed resources. Given the increasing costs of
    Superfund site clean ups, and in light of current budget
    constraints, the Committee believes it is imperative that the
    Agency make transparency and funds management a priority by
    reviewing, reclassifying, transferring, and publicly reporting
    on special account funds. The Agency is directed to include in
    its annual budget justification a plan for using these funds
    expeditiously.
        Superfund Alternative Sites.--The Committee continues to
    direct the Agency to report annually, by region, on the sites
    using the Superfund Alternative Approach Agreements, including
    intramural and extramural costs. The Committee notes that in
    fiscal year 2009 over 75 percent of the funds attributed to the
    alternative approach were used by only two EPA regions. The
    Committee continues to question why these two regions rely so
    heavily on the alternative approach and urges the Administrator
    to review this program.
        Brookfield Avenue Landfill.--The Committee encourages the
    EPA to reevaluate the inclusion of the Brookfield Avenue
    Landfill in Staten Island, New York on the EPA's National
    Priority List as a Superfund Site. The EPA should collect and
    utilize new data to make this determination, including a
    comprehensive examination of the potential for new exposure
    pathways via ground water migration and/or the volatilization
    of organic compounds at the Brookfield Landfill and surrounding
    areas.

              LEAKING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK TRUST FUND PROGRAM

        Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by
    the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, authorized
    the establishment of a response program for clean up of
    releases from leaking underground storage tanks. Owners and
    operators of facilities with underground tanks must demonstrate
    financial responsibility and bear initial responsibility for
    clean-up. The Federal trust fund is funded through the
    imposition of a motor fuel tax of one-tenth of a cent per
    gallon.
        In addition to State resources, the Leaking Underground
    Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund provides funding to clean-up
    sites, enforces necessary corrective actions and recovers costs
    expended from the Fund for clean-up activities. The underground
    storage tank response program is designed to operate primarily
    through cooperative agreements with States. Funds are also used
    for grants to non-State entities, including Indian Tribes,
    under Section 8001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
    Act. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 expanded the authorized
    activities of the Fund to include the underground storage tank
    program. In 2006, Congress amended section 9508 of the Internal
    Revenue Code to authorize expenditures from the trust fund for
    prevention and inspection activities.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................      $112,577,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       113,101,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       113,101,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................          +524,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                0*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $113,101,000 as requested for the
    Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund Program,
    $524,000 above the 2009 enacted level. The changes to the
    request, as recommended by the Committee, appear in the table
    at the beginning of this title. The Committee provides the
    following additional detail by program area:
        EPA estimates that there are approximately 630,000 active
    underground storage tanks subject to regulation that require
    inspection. From that universe there have been over 474,000
    releases requiring corrective actions, of which 109,000 have
    yet to be completed. In fiscal year 2007 alone, there were over
    7,500 new releases reported. Despite the increased
    appropriation in 2009 and the ARRA funding, the budget
    estimates that the end of year balance in the LUST Trust Fund
    will continue to grow, increasing by more than $200,000,000
    from 2009 to 2010. In light of the number of new releases each
    year, the Committee urges the Administrator to determine if the
    States can use additional funding in future years.
        Bill Language.--The Committee has included the proposed
    bill language which authorizes, for one year, the Administrator
    to use the LUST Trust Fund for Tribal grants to develop and
    implement underground storage tank programs.

                               OIL SPILL RESPONSE

        This appropriation, authorized by the Federal Water
    Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of
    1990, provides funds to prepare for and prevent releases of oil
    and other petroleum products in navigable waterways. In
    addition, EPA is reimbursed for incident specific response
    costs through the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund managed by the
    United States Coast Guard.
        EPA is responsible for directing all clean-up and removal
    activities posing a threat to public health and the
    environment; conducting site inspections; providing a means to
    achieve clean-up activities by private parties; reviewing
    containment plans at facilities; reviewing area contingency
    plans; pursuing cost recovery of fund-financed clean-ups; and
    conducting research of oil clean-up techniques. Funds for this
    appropriation are provided through the Oil Spill Liability
    Trust Fund which is composed of fees and collections made
    through provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the
    Comprehensive Oil Pollution Liability and Compensation Act, the
    Deepwater Port Act of 1974, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands
    Act Amendments of 1978, and the Federal Water Pollution Control
    Act, as amended. Pursuant to law, the Trust Fund is managed by
    the United States Coast Guard.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $17,687,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        18,379,000

    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................          +692,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $18,379,000 as requested for oil
    spill response, $692,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level.

                       STATE AND TRIBAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS

        The State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) account
    provides grant funds for programs operated primarily by State,
    local, Tribal and other governmental partners. The account
    includes two broad types of funds: (1) Infrastructure
    Assistance, which is used primarily by local governments for
    projects supporting environmental protection; and, (2)
    Categorical Grants, which assist State and Tribal governments
    and other environmental partners with the operation of
    environmental programs.
        In the STAG account, EPA provides funding for
    infrastructure projects through two State Revolving Funds
    (Clean Water and Drinking Water), geographic specific projects
    in Alaskan Native Villages and on the United States-Mexico
    Border, Brownfield revitalization projects, diesel emission
    reduction grants and other targeted infrastructure projects.
        The State Revolving Funds (SRFs) provide Federal financial
    assistance to protect the Nation's water resources. The Clean
    Water SRF helps eliminate municipal discharge of untreated or
    inadequately treated pollutants and thereby helps maintain or
    restore the country's water to a swimmable and/or fishable
    quality. The Clean Water SRF provides resources for municipal,
    inter-municipal, State, and interstate agencies and Tribal
    governments to plan, design, and construct wastewater
    facilities and other projects, including non-point source,
    estuary, stormwater, and sewer overflow projects. The Safe
    Drinking Water SRF finances improvements to community water
    systems so that they can achieve compliance with the mandates
    of the Safe Drinking Water Act and continue to protect public
    health.
        The major Federal environmental statutes include provisions
    that allow the Federal government, through EPA, to delegate to
    the States and Tribes the day-to-day management of
    environmental programs. The Federal statutes were designed to
    recognize the States as partners and co-regulators, allowing
    the States to issue and enforce permits, carry out inspections
    and monitoring, and collecting data. To assist the States in
    this task, the statutes also authorized EPA to provide grants
    to the States and Tribes. These grants, which cover every major
    aspect of environmental protection, include those programs
    authorized by sections 319 and 106 of the Federal Water
    Pollution Control Act, as amended (for non-point source
    pollution and the water quality permits programs), sections 105
    and 103 of the Clean Air Act (for State and Local air quality
    management programs), section 128 of CERCLA (for the
    brownfields program management), section 1443(a) of the Safe
    Drinking Water Act (for public water system supervision), and
    section 3011 of RCRA (for hazardous waste financial
    assistance).
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................    $2,968,464,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     5,191,274,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     5,215,446,000
    Comparison:...........................................
        Appropriation, 2009...............................    +2,246,982,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................      +24,172,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $5,215,446,000 for the State and
    Tribal Assistance account, $2,246,982,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $24,172,000 above the budget request.
    The changes to the request, as recommended by the Committee,
    appear in the table at the beginning of this title. The
    Committee provides the following additional detail by program
    area:
        Infrastructure Assistance.--For the infrastructure
    assistance portion of this account, the Committee recommends
    $4,100,000,000, which is $2,226,391,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $20,000,000 above the budget request.
    The Committee recognizes the growing need to not only build
    new, but also repair and replace existing, water and wastewater
    infrastructure. Over the course of recent months, through the
    fiscal year 2009 appropriations bill and the ARRA, the
    Committee has provided more than $7.5 billion for water and
    wastewater infrastructure through the State Revolving Funds
    (SRFs). This is the largest amount of water and wastewater
    infrastructure assistance ever provided by the Federal
    government in a single year to protect public health and the
    environment. Added to the amounts recommended here, the
    Committee will have provided or recommended over $11 billion
    for environmental infrastructure, resulting in over 4,400
    projects in communities all across this nation, in every State,
    each Territory and many Tribal nations.
        In this bill, the Committee has recommended $2,307,000,000
    for the Clean Water SRF and $1,443,000,000 for the Drinking
    Water SRF. These are principally loan programs. The Committee
    has found that many small, rural and/or disadvantaged
    communities do not have the resources to borrow from the SRFs
    with the responsibility to pay back 100 percent of the loan
    plus interest. As the Committee did with the ARRA funds, it has
    included bill language to allow the States to provide
    additional forms of subsidy to those communities which cannot
    afford even the below market rates provided by an SRF loan.
    These subsidies, which can be in the form of negative interest
    loans, principal forgiveness or grants, will apply to 30
    percent of the funds appropriated for the Drinking Water SRF
    and to 30 percent of the Clean Water SRF funds that exceed $1
    billion. This bill language is included in the Administrative
    Provisions.
        In addition, the Committee has continued language first
    carried in the ARRA, and requested by the President, to allow
    States to use up to 20 percent of each of their SRF grants for
    projects that are considered green infrastructure and those
    that provide water and/or energy efficiencies. The Committee
    has revised the language to clarify that the percentage applies
    to both SRFs and each State. The Committee continues to believe
    that decentralized, green infrastructure projects are an
    important component in the efforts to improve and restore our
    waters. The Committee commends the Agency's efforts to ensure
    that no State will require a waiver from the 20 percent goal in
    the ARRA and encourages the Agency to continue these efforts
    with the funds provided through this Act.
        For other infrastructure programs in this account, the
    Committee recommends: (1) an allocation of $160,000,000 for
    grants to local communities for water and sewer infrastructure;
    (2) $100,000,000 for Brownfields infrastructure projects; (3)
    $10,000,000 for the Alaska Native Villages Grant program; (4)
    $20,000,000 for the U.S.-Mexican Border program; and (5)
    $60,000,000 for the Diesel Emissions Reduction Grant Program.
        U.S.-Mexico Border.--From within the amount provided for
    the Mexican Border program, $2,500,000 is directed to the El
    Paso and Brownsville projects funded in prior years. The
    Committee notes that the significant increases in the Clean
    Water State Revolving fund provided in this bill and through
    the ARRA, coupled with the authority to award those funds with
    additional forms of subsidy, provide an expanded funding source
    for the important infrastructure projects along the border, and
    encourages EPA and the State of Texas to consider using those
    resources to accelerate projects along the border. The
    Committee directs the Agency to continue its new process to
    ensure funds are liquidated quickly. Although improvements have
    been made, the balances in this program remain high. Once the
    Agency has fully implemented the changes, the Committee will
    consider those balances when it next makes funding decisions.
        Diesel Emissions Reduction Grants.--The Committee continues
    to support the Diesel Emissions Reduction Grant Program, which
    received $300,000,000 through the American Recovery and
    Reinvestment Act. These funds are expected to result in
    approximately 160 grants and leverage over $300,000,000.
    Because this program is only a few years old and has received a
    significant boost through the ARRA, the Committee directs the
    Agency to report within 90 days of enactment on the number and
    types of project applications it has received for the 2009 and
    ARRA national competitions and how the states are spending
    their share of the grant funds.
        STAG Infrastructure Grant Priorities.--The bill provides
    $160,000,000 for drinking water, wastewater, storm water
    infrastructure and other water quality protection projects
    including the following:

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

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

        Categorical Grants to Environmental Partners.--For
    categorical grants to EPA's environmental partners, the
    Committee recommends $1,115,446,000, $20,591,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $4,172,000 above the budget
    request. The Committee supports the requested increases for the
    Section 102 Water Grants, the Public Water Supervision Grants,
    and the State and Local Air Quality grants. From within the
    amount provided, the Committee directs the following changes to
    the request:
              -$3,000,000 from the Hazardous Waste Financial
            Assistance grant program, which will provide a
            $2,000,000 increase above the fiscal year 2009 level;
              -$1,000,000 from the Lead grant, which will provide
            the fiscal year 2009 level;
              -$1,828,000 from the Sector grants; and,
              +$10,000,000 to restore the Climate Change Grants to
            local and Tribal governments.
        Climate Change Grants for Local and Tribal Communities.--
    The bill includes $10,000,000 for the Office of Air and
    Radiation to continue a competitive grant program to assist
    local and Tribal communities in establishing and implementing
    integrated climate change initiatives. The goals of the program
    are to (1) assist local and Tribal governments in developing
    plans and implementing projects that provide cost-effective,
    continuing, and documentable reductions in greenhouse gas
    emissions; (2) to demonstrate replicable models of sustainable
    community action; and (3) to transfer these models nationwide
    through peer exchange, information sharing, and other means to
    build a network of ``communities of practice.''
        The Climate Change Grants complement existing Agency
    climate programs and provide a climate focus to other planning
    and implementation activities. In addition, the Committee
    considers this program to be unique in that it targets a
    specialized, critical audience (local and Tribal governments)
    specifically for greenhouse gas reductions in the context of
    broad climate change management. Rather than isolating
    components of climate change mitigation, the program encourages
    comprehensive, multi-media approaches that combine planning and
    project implementation with public education and outreach. This
    allows local and Tribal governments to tailor approaches to
    their specific needs and priorities, encourages innovative
    solutions, and avoids redundant efforts.
        The Agency is directed to continue to follow the specific
    guidelines contained in the explanatory statement accompanying
    the fiscal year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act, including the
    requirement that grantees provide a 50 percent match and that
    Tribes receive five percent of the funds. The Agency is
    directed to report within 180 days of enactment of this Act on
    its progress in implementing this grant program, including a
    summary of the projects funded, estimates of greenhouse gases
    reduced and other quantifiable co-benefits, and suggestions for
    future implementation of the program.
        Bill Language.--The Committee recommendation retains the
    following language from prior years: (1) State administrative
    costs of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund; (2) conditions
    for the Alaska Native Villages Grant program; (3) special
    project grants, with a 45 percent match requirement; (4)
    Colonias Enforcement; (5) the language which provides STAG
    account funds for a small portion of the underground storage
    tank program; and, (6) authority for the Administrator to award
    grants to local governments for climate change projects.
        The Committee has accepted the following new bill language
    proposed by the President: (1) increases to the Tribal and
    territorial set-asides from the SRFs; and, (2) language to
    allow States to use the SRFs for green infrastructure and water
    and energy efficiency projects, with slight technical changes.
    New language has been included in the Administrative Provisions
    to provide for additional subsidies for communities that cannot
    afford a conventional SRF loan. The Committee has not included
    the following language proposed by the President: (1) a
    requirement that a State match funds provided for the
    particulate matter monitoring network; and, (2) a limitation
    that funds provided for water quality monitoring be used for
    state participation in national statistical surveys.
        Additional Guidance.--The Committee has included the
    following additional guidance with respect to funding provided
    under this account:
        Brownfields Technical Assistance Centers.--The Committee
    supports the Agency's use of regional technical assistance
    centers. The Agency is directed to continue this program at the
    fiscal year 2009 level of $1,800,000.

                           ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

        The Committee recommendation continues the language,
    carried in prior years, concerning Tribal Cooperative Authority
    and the collection and obligation of pesticides fees. The
    Committee has accepted the President's proposal to expand the
    Agency's transfer and interagency agreement authority for the
    purposes of implementing the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative
    only.
        The Committee has accepted the President's proposal to
    rescind prior year funds, but has increased the rescission to
    $142,000,000, which is $132,000,000 more than the request. The
    Committee has taken this action in light of a recent IG report,
    which indicates that the Agency has an unusually high
    unliquidated balance from appropriations made prior to fiscal
    year 2009. Should the Agency identify any of those funds not
    from the STAG account as eligible for this rescission prior to
    the Conference Committee on this bill, the Committee will
    consider expanding the accounts from which this rescission can
    be taken. The Bill Language prohibits the Agency from taking
    the rescission against amounts designated by Congress as
    emergency. The Committee has amended the proposed language on
    Title 42 authority to extend the authority through 2015. The
    Committee also has included two provisions relating to
    subsidies and green infrastructure projects from within the
    funds provided for the Clean Water and Drinking Water State
    Revolving Funds. Bill language has been included to provide
    specific wage rate requirements for the Clean Water and
    Drinking Water State Revolving Funds.

                          TITLE III--RELATED AGENCIES

                           Department of Agriculture

                                 FOREST SERVICE

        The U.S. Forest Service manages 193 million acres of public
    lands, including lands in 44 States and Puerto Rico, and
    cooperates with States, other Federal agencies, Tribes and
    others to sustain the Nation's forests and grasslands. The
    Forest Service administers a wide variety of programs,
    including forest and rangeland research, State and private
    forestry assistance, wildfire suppression and fuels reduction,
    cooperative forest health programs, an International program
    and human resource programs. The National Forest System (NFS)
    includes 155 national forests, 20 national grasslands, 20
    national recreation areas, a national tallgrass prairie, 6
    national monuments, and 6 land utilization projects. The NFS is
    managed for multiple use, including timber production,
    recreation, wilderness, minerals, grazing, fish and wildlife
    habitat management, and soil and water conservation. The Forest
    Service celebrated its centennial in 2005.
        The Committee recommendations for all Forest Service
    accounts are based on changes to the President's budget
    request. Unless otherwise stated, the Committee approves the
    items in the budget justification and supporting materials from
    the Service.
        The Committee encourages the Forest Service to accelerate
    longleaf pine forest restoration efforts using funds made
    available within the National Forest System, forest and
    rangeland research, wildland fire management and State and
    private forestry accounts. The Committee expects the Forest
    Service to work with the Fish and Wildlife Service and other
    partners as appropriate towards realizing the range-wide
    conservation plan for longleaf pine and objectives under the
    Southeast Regional Partnership for Planning and Sustainability.
        The amounts recommended by the Committee for each Forest
    Service appropriation account, compared with the budget
    estimates by activity, are shown in the following table:

                         FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH

        Forest and rangeland research and development sponsors
    basic and applied scientific research. This research provides
    both credible and relevant knowledge about forests and
    rangelands and new technologies that can be used to sustain the
    health, productivity, and diversity of private and public lands
    to meet the needs of present and future generations. Research
    is conducted across the U.S. through six research stations, the
    Forest Products Laboratory, and the International Institute of
    Tropical Forestry in Puerto Rico, as well as cooperative
    research efforts with many of the Nation's universities.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $296,380,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       300,612,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       308,612,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +12,232,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +8,000,000
        The Committee recommends $308,612,000 for forest and
    rangeland research, $12,232,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $8,000,000 above the budget request. The
    recommendation includes increases of $3,000,000 to cover
    previously unfunded fixed costs and $5,000,000 for global
    climate change research. The Committee expects the Forest
    Service aspen free air CO2 enrichment experiment to
    continue to be operational to provide answers to critical
    questions about the impacts of greenhouse gases and climate
    change on forests, air quality standards and human health.
        The Committee recognizes that Forest Service research
    conducts leading-edge science that helps address the impacts of
    climate change on trees, forests and forest ecosystems through
    adaptation and mitigation actions. The Committee expects the
    Service to closely coordinate with the U.S. Geological Survey
    and other Federal science providers to develop a cohesive
    strategy towards evolving climate change science needs,
    including implementing the adaptation strategy for assessing
    ecosystem carbon sequestration required by section 712 of the
    Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Future budget
    justifications should clearly delineate Forest Service research
    efforts in climate change science, and how they link with and
    compliment other Federal efforts.
        The Committee congratulates the Forest Service on the
    centennial of the network of experimental forests. The Service
    is encouraged to continue supporting and expanding this network
    and utilize this tremendous resource for coordinated studies
    and monitoring of important issues, such as climate change
    research and carbon sequestration in soils and vegetation. The
    Committee notes that May 18, 2010 will be the 30th anniversary
    of the destructive blast of Mt. St. Helens. The Forest Service
    is encouraged to continue its exceptional efforts to track
    ecological response to this catastrophic event and support
    scientific studies of this milestone.
        The Forest Service should treat the funding for the Forest
    Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program as a budget line item.
    Funding for FIA under this heading is $61,939,000 as requested.
    The Committee notes that an additional $5,035,000 for the FIA
    program is provided within the State and private forestry
    appropriation under the forest resource information and
    analysis budget line item. The two FIA program components thus
    receive a total of $66,974,000.

                           STATE AND PRIVATE FORESTRY

        Through cooperative programs with State and local
    governments, non-industrial private forest landowners, forest
    industry and conservation organizations, the Forest Service
    supports the protection and management of the nearly 500
    million acres of non-Federal forests in the country. Technical
    and financial assistance is offered to improve wildland fire
    management and protect communities from wildfire; control
    insects and disease; improve management of private forests;
    conserve environmentally important forests; and enhance
    stewardship of urban and rural forests. The Forest Service
    provides special expertise and disease suppression for all
    Federal and Tribal lands, as well as cooperative assistance
    with the States for State and private lands.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $265,861,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       306,111,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       307,486,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +41,625,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +1,375,000
        The Committee recommends $307,486,000 for State and private
    forestry (S&PF), $41,625,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $1,375,000 above the budget request. The Committee is
    encouraged by the S&PF redesign effort; a component of
    redesign, the national competition, has successfully
    demonstrated project prioritization and program innovation as
    documented in the 2009 Redesign Report Card. To facilitate
    further implementation of the redesign effort, the Committee
    exempts the Redesign National Competition from the normal
    reprogramming guidelines. In lieu, the Committee expects to
    receive a report annually as part of the budget justification
    on the program adjustments made to appropriately fund the
    competitive projects.
        Forest Health Management.--The Committee recommends
    $107,105,000 for forest health management, an increase of
    $6,703,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $6,000,000 above the request. The funding increase is for high
    priority forest health efforts. The Committee notes that
    increased funding has also been provided for forest health
    management under the wildland fire management account. The
    forest health program should continue to stress strategic
    funding allocations, and should continue the slow-the-spread,
    suppression and eradication efforts for gypsy moth and bark
    beetle work in the West. The Service should also expand efforts
    on the hemlock wooly adelgid in the East.
        The Committee has provided a $2,000,000 increase above the
    request for cooperative lands forest health management; this
    increase should be used to assist in restoring urban areas and
    communities through identifying and replanting trees infested
    and killed by the emerald ash borer.
        The Committee encourages the Service to use existing State
    and private forestry authorities to assist in restoring urban
    and community forests through identifying and replanting trees
    infested and killed by the emerald ash borer. The Service
    should use base program funding to continue important
    technology development and scientific monitoring of the emerald
    ash borer situation and report to the Committee by December 31,
    2009 on the emerald ash borer program and the overall
    scientific, monitoring, technology development and urban and
    rural response to clean-up and restore damaged areas. The
    Committee directs the Administration and the USDA to use
    existing emergency authorities to release USDA funds to assist
    impacted communities with responding to this emergency, just as
    they have during previous pest and agricultural emergencies.
        Cooperative Fire Protection.--The Committee recommends
    $46,147,000 for cooperative fire protection, $5,147,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $4,000,000 above the
    request. The increase above the request is intended to help
    States prepare the State-wide Assessment and Resource Strategy
    plans and associated activities required by the Farm Bill and
    the S&PF redesign approach. These efforts have the potential to
    significantly change the way cooperative programs are
    delivered, resulting in a more strategic approach to landscape
    scale planning and delivery of program and projects. As State
    and Federal agencies respond to emerging carbon markets and
    respond to climate change, these State-level forest plans can
    serve as essential parts of landscape and regional adaptation
    efforts. Nearly 500,000,000 acres of the United States is
    private or State forestland with major impacts on regional and
    global carbon cycling, depending on how they are managed in the
    future.
        Forest Stewardship.--The Committee recommends $31,639,000
    for forest stewardship, $4,639,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $3,270,000 above the budget request. The base
    Chesapeake Bay program should be increased $1,000,000 above the
    requested level. The other increase above the request should be
    used for priority work and to offset previously unfunded fixed
    costs at the Forest Service and States.
        Forest Legacy Program.--The Committee recommends a total
    funding level of $79,715,000 for the forest legacy program,
    which includes the use of $3,500,000 of prior-year unobligated
    balances for a total appropriated level of $76,215,000. This
    appropriated level is $26,770,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    level and $14,845,000 below the budget request. The Service is
    directed to follow its nationally ranked priority list for
    funding projects.
        Urban and Community Forestry.--The Committee recommends
    $30,777,000 for urban and community forestry, $1,236,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $1,450,000 above the
    budget request. The funding increase includes $150,000 to
    support the Baltimore, MD, urban forestry watershed
    demonstration cooperative project, $300,000 to support the
    Menomonee Valley partners urban forestry project in Milwaukee,
    WI, and $1,000,000 to continue the Seattle-Tacoma regional
    urban forestry restoration effort, WA.
        The Committee encourages the Forest Service to work with
    the Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Committee, key
    partner organizations such as the Sustainable Urban Forestry
    Coalition, and other Federal agencies to ensure the importance
    of sustaining the natural urban environment. The Committee
    expects the Forest Service to focus funding allocations on
    efforts in large urban areas and on various efforts to enhance
    green infrastructure, including strategic selection of several
    projects of national and regional significance.
        Forest Resource Information and Analysis.--The Committee
    recommends $5,035,000 for forest resource information and
    analysis as requested, an increase of $35,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level.
        International Forestry.--The Committee recommends
    $10,568,000 for International Forestry, $2,068,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $1,500,000 above the budget
    request. The Committee recognizes the Forest Service
    International Program for its successful projects in the areas
    of migratory species habitat, invasive species control, illegal
    logging interventions and analysis of carbon market models, all
    of which directly benefit the United States. Further, the
    program's work on preventing international deforestation and
    grassland destruction represent important, early action by the
    U.S. to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from forest destruction
    and degradation. Activities related to deforestation are
    responsible for more than 20 percent of all global greenhouse
    gas emissions annually.

                             NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM

        Within the National Forest System (NFS), which covers 193
    million acres, there are 61 Congressionally designated areas,
    including 21 national recreation areas, and 7 national scenic
    areas. The NFS hosted over 179 million visits in 2008. The NFS
    includes over 153,000 miles of trails and roughly 17,700
    recreation sites, including approximately 5,200 campgrounds and
    37 major visitor centers. Wilderness areas cover 36 million
    acres, which account for approximately 60 percent of the
    wilderness in the contiguous 48 States. The NFS includes a
    substantial amount of the Nation's softwood inventory. In
    fiscal year 2008 over 205,000 acres of national forest
    vegetation was managed through timber sale activities, which
    produced nearly 2.5 billion board feet of timber volume. The
    Forest Service also has major habitat management
    responsibilities for more than 3,000 species of wildlife and
    fish, and 10,000 plant species and provides important habitat
    and open space for over 422 threatened or endangered species.
    Half of the Nation's big game and coldwater fish habitat,
    including salmon and steelhead, is located on NFS lands and
    waters. In addition, in the 11 western States, where the water
    supply is sometimes critically short, over 50 percent of
    domestic water is provided from NFS lands.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................    $1,509,805,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     1,506,564,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     1,564,801,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +54,996,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................       +58,237,000
        The Committee recommends $1,564,801,000 for the national
    forest system, $54,996,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $58,237,000 above the budget request. A total of
    $35,237,000 has been added to cover fixed cost increases.
    Unless otherwise specified, the increases above the request by
    budget activity are for fixed costs. In addition, an increase
    of $7,500,000 is recommended for climate change adaptation
    efforts. This funding includes $2,500,000 for both the wildlife
    and fisheries habitat management and vegetation and watershed
    management activities, $1,500,000 for the inventory and
    monitoring activity and $1,000,000 for the land management
    planning activity. The Forest Service is expected to work
    closely with the Interior Department, especially the BLM and
    the U.S. Geological Survey, on climate change impact
    activities. Further direction on interagency coordination is in
    the front of this report. The requested rescission of
    $10,000,000 of prior year funding is not included.
        Land Management Planning.--The Committee recommends
    $47,317,000 for land management planning, $1,516,000 below the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $1,799,000 above the budget
    request.
        The Committee encourages the Service to review the National
    Forest Management Act planning process, including the adequacy
    of the 2008 planning rule. The Committee encourages appropriate
    policy, which will ensure strong protection for fish and
    wildlife, proper scientific analysis, and opportunities for
    well-informed public involvement in planning conducted pursuant
    to the National Forest Management Act and the National
    Environmental Policy Act. The Committee encourages the Service
    to conduct this review before proposing or finalizing revised
    forest plans under the 2008 forest planning rule.
        Inventory and Monitoring.--The Committee recommends
    $173,810,000 for inventory and monitoring, $6,230,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $5,115,000 above the budget
    request.
        Recreation, Heritage and Wilderness.--The Committee
    recommends $292,599,000 for recreation, heritage and
    wilderness, $14,964,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $12,482,000 above the budget request.
        The Committee recommendation includes an increase of
    $5,000,000 for the Forest Service to enhance its efforts with
    youth and conservation. The funding is provided under this
    program; however, the Service may allocate these funds to other
    programs or transfer funds to other accounts if this would lead
    to a more effective and efficient youth program. The Committee
    expects the Forest Service to work closely with the Interior
    Department and partners on this youth effort and report back to
    the Committee within 90 days of enactment on the Service's
    plans for this funding increase. The remainder of the increase
    above the request is for fixed costs.
        Wildlife and Fish Habitat Management.--The Committee
    recommends $148,557,000 for wildlife and fish habitat
    management, an increase of $9,172,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $7,086,000 above the budget request.
        Grazing Management.--The Committee recommends $50,714,000
    for grazing management, $714,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $765,000 above the budget request.
        Forest Products.--The Committee recommends $336,722,000 for
    forest products, an increase of $4,056,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level and $7,763,000 above the budget
    request.
        The Forest Service is encouraged to consider all contract
    methods for implementing sustainable biomass energy projects
    proposed on the Mark Twain National Forest, MO, including
    stewardship contracting authority provided under Section 323 of
    Public Law 108-7, utilizing available agency funding.
        Vegetation and Watershed Management.--The Committee
    recommends $189,135,000 for vegetation and watershed
    management, an increase of $8,698,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $6,849,000 above the budget request.
        Minerals and Geology Management.--The Committee recommends
    $87,830,000 for minerals and geology management, an increase of
    $2,360,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $1,180,000 above the budget request.
        Land Ownership Management.--The Committee recommends
    $96,841,000 for land ownership management, $3,542,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $2,469,000 above the budget
    request.
        Law Enforcement Operations.--The Committee recommends
    $137,776,000 for law enforcement operations, $2,276,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $2,729,000 above the
    budget request. The Committee notes that this fully funds the
    budget request, which includes, among many other ongoing
    activities, $500,000 for methamphetamine prevention efforts on
    the Mark Twain National Forest, MO, and $900,000 to continue
    law enforcement operations on the Daniel Boone National Forest,
    KY.
        Bill Language.--The recommendation includes bill language
    which allows up to $10,000,000 to be transferred to other
    Forest Service accounts if it enhances the efficiency or
    effectiveness of Federal activities.

                      CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE

                         (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................      $482,393,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       556,962,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       542,637,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +60,244,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................      -14,325,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $542,637,000 for capital
    improvement and maintenance, $60,244,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $14,325,000 below the budget request.
    The recommendation continues the previous legislative language
    which brings the roads and trails fund activities onto the
    discretionary budget, netting an $18,000,000 scoring credit.
    The Committee remains interested in the travel management
    planning process. It is vital for the Service to look at the
    entire road system on a National Forest and determine those
    roads that are unneeded or which may be harming the
    environment. The Committee also feels that the implementation
    of the travel management plans needs to be user-friendly. The
    designation of open and closed roads and trails needs to be
    easily understood by the public.
        Facilities Maintenance.--The Committee recommends
    $86,134,000 for facilities maintenance as requested. The
    Committee continues the requested bill language in the
    administrative provisions allowing program assessments for
    maintenance of facilities. The Committee notes that the Forest
    Service intends to generate additional funds for maintenance
    and construction of facilities through the use of the funds
    generated by selling surplus administrative sites under the
    Federal Land and Facility Conveyance Act (FLFCA). The budget
    justification indicates that there is a backlog of deferred
    maintenance for buildings of $711,925,000, so a variety of
    approaches will be needed to deal with this issue. The
    Committee expects to get regular, detailed updates on the FLFCA
    and continued detailed tables in the annual budget
    justification.
        Facilities Capital Improvement.--The Committee recommends
    $45,081,000 for facilities capital improvement, $10,521,000
    below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $475,000 above the
    budget request. The increase is for the Ratcliff Lake
    Recreation Area and Campground, Davy Crockett National Forest,
    TX.
        Road Maintenance.--The Committee recommends $166,885,000
    for road maintenance as requested, $4,385,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level.
        Road Capital Improvement.--The Committee recommends
    $68,115,000 for road capital improvement as requested,
    $1,790,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The
    Committee expects that the Forest Service will not build new
    roads unless they are absolutely needed for resource or service
    purposes.
        Trail Maintenance and Capital Improvement.--The Committee
    recommends $85,281,000 for trail maintenance and capital
    improvement, $4,266,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $3,200,000 above the budget request. The increase for
    trail maintenance is for fixed costs. The increase in trail
    capital improvement is for trail construction, maintenance, and
    improvement in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, ID, of
    which $500,000 is for trail improvements; $500,000 is for
    maintenance of existing motorized trails and areas; and
    $200,000 is for the improvement of two existing trails to
    provide primitive wheelchair access at Murdock Creek and
    Phyllis Lake.
        The Committee recommendation retains previous base funding
    for maintenance, construction, and operation of the network of
    national scenic and historic trails but encourages additional
    funding for required work of the newly authorized national
    trails. Future budget justifications should continue to provide
    specific trail operation, maintenance and construction funding
    and accomplishment data for the national scenic and historic
    trails. The Service should provide full time administrators and
    prepare the required comprehensive management plans for the
    newly authorized national trails. The Committee notes that the
    budget request, which is fully funded, includes $2,000,000 for
    the Pacific Crest National Trail and $1,500,000 for the Florida
    National Scenic Trail and funding for other national trails as
    described in the budget justification.
        Deferred Maintenance.--The Committee recommends $9,141,000
    for deferred maintenance as requested, an increase of $41,000
    over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The Committee notes
    that the budget justification indicates a deferred maintenance
    backlog of $5,145,142,000. The Service should continue to
    update this information in its future budget requests. The
    Committee also notes that the American Recovery and
    Reimbursement Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided $650,000,000 for
    Forest Service capital improvement and maintenance and
    associated habitat improvement projects. The Committee expects
    that the ongoing reporting by the Forest Service as required by
    the ARRA will include information on the progress the Service
    is making at reducing the deferred maintenance backlog.
        Legacy Road and Trail Remediation.--The Committee
    recommendation merges the budget requests for both the legacy
    road and trail remediation program and the new Administration
    initiative, protecting national forests. The new protecting
    national forests initiative has not been clearly explained by
    the Forest Service, but it shares the same goals and purpose as
    the proven legacy road and trail remediation program, which is
    to reduce deferred maintenance and protect watersheds and
    habitats by repairing infrastructure. The Committee
    recommendation provides $100,000,000 for the legacy road and
    trail remediation program. This includes the $50,000,000
    requested for the program and the additional $50,000,000
    requested for the protecting national forests initiative. Thus
    the legacy road and trail program recommended funding level is
    $50,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $50,000,000 above the budget request. The recommendation does
    not provide separate funding for the new protecting national
    forests initiative, but the Committee recommendation
    accomplishes the same goals of that initiative.
        The Committee notes that the legacy road and trail
    remediation program protects American rivers, streams,
    endangered fish, and community water systems by repairing the
    environmental damage caused by the vast legacy road system
    developed by the Forest Service, which served the needs of the
    Forest Service over the years. The Forest Service has
    responsibility for 6,400 bridges, 378,000 miles of roads and
    thousands of miles of unofficial roadways. The Forest Service
    has not met its stewardship responsibilities to care for these
    roads, which would prevent harm to the downstream water needs
    of the States and communities and the aquatic life our Nation
    cherishes. The Service's own statistics indicate that there is
    a $3,530,000,000 backlog in deferred maintenance for roads and
    bridges and another $280,000,000 deferred maintenance backlog
    for trails. In addition, there are thousands of stream
    crossings that are barriers to the movement of Endangered
    Species Act (ESA) listed fish, making it difficult for these
    species to fully interact with habitats, including the
    relatively pristine, upper watersheds which are often the prime
    strongholds for listed fish species. Several large, regional
    watershed restoration efforts are spending hundreds of
    millions, even billions, of dollars on downstream management
    and regulatory requirements. However, restoration that leads to
    recovery as defined by the ESA cannot occur absent the Forest
    Service meeting its obligations in upstream areas. The Forest
    Service should use this funding in a strategic effort to
    decommission and fix roads and trails in environmentally
    sensitive areas. It should focus on those areas where Forest
    Service roads may be contributing to water quality problems in
    streams and water bodies which support threatened, endangered
    or sensitive species. The Service should utilize public input
    to help select projects, report back to the Committee within
    120 days of enactment on the selected projects, and display its
    selection process and implementation activities on the agency's
    web site.
        Bill Language.--The recommendation includes the following
    bill language: (1) allows funds to be used for road
    decommissioning; (2) encourages expedited decommissioning of
    unauthorized roads in response to threats to public safety,
    water quality, or natural resources; (3) transfers funds from
    the road and trail fund into the Treasury, netting an
    $18,000,000 scoring credit to this account; and (4) allows up
    to $10,000,000 to be transferred to other Forest Service
    accounts if it enhances the efficiency or effectiveness of
    Federal activities.

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

        The Committee is concerned that the Forest Service budget
    request for land acquisition was entirely at odds with the
    Department of the Interior's request for Federal land
    acquisition. In fact, the Federal land acquisition activity was
    reduced by almost half, and the request provided no funding for
    inholdings and wilderness protection. The Forest Service is a
    major manager of conservation lands in the United States,
    especially in the contiguous 48 States, with many sensitive
    inholdings and vital protection opportunities. Despite a
    healthy request for the forest legacy program, it is
    inappropriate for this agency to be excluded from a major
    policy initiative, like funding for acquisition of sensitive
    Federal lands. The Committee has included additional discussion
    of land acquisition for all agencies covered by this bill in
    the front section of this report.

             ACQUISITION OF LANDS FOR NATIONAL FORESTS SPECIAL ACTS
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $1,050,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         1,050,000

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $1,050,000 for acquisition of
    lands for National forests, special acts, as requested.

                ACQUISITION OF LANDS TO COMPLETE LAND EXCHANGES
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................          $250,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................           250,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................           250,000

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $250,000, as requested, for
    acquisition of lands to complete land exchanges under the Act
    of December 4, 1967 (16 U.S.C. 484a). Under the Act, deposits
    made by public school districts or public school authorities to
    provide for cash equalization of certain land exchanges can be
    appropriated to acquire similar lands suitable for national
    forest system purposes in the same State as the national forest
    lands conveyed in the exchanges.

                             RANGE BETTERMENT FUND
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $3,600,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         3,600,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................         3,600,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................                 0
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $3,600,000, as requested, for the
    range betterment fund, to be derived from grazing receipts from
    the National Forests (Public Law 94-579, as amended) and to be
    used for range rehabilitation, protection, and improvements
    including seeding, reseeding, fence construction, weed control,
    water development, and fish and wildlife habitat enhancement in
    16 western States.

        GIFTS, DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS FOR FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................           $50,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................            50,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................            50,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................                 0
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $50,000, as requested, for gifts,
    donations and bequests for forest and rangeland research.
    Authority for the program is contained in Public Law 95-307 (16
    U.S.C. 1643, section 4(b)). Amounts appropriated and not needed
    for current operations may be invested in public debt
    securities. Both the principal and earnings from the receipts
    are available to the Forest Service.

            MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL FOREST LANDS FOR SUBSISTENCE USES
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $5,000,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         2,582,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................         2,582,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        -2,418,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $2,582,000 for the management of
    national forest lands for subsistence uses in Alaska as
    requested, $2,418,000 below the enacted level.

                            WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

                         (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................    $2,131,630,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     2,238,147,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     2,370,288,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................      +238,658,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................     +132,141,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $2,370,288,000 for wildland fire
    management, $238,658,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $132,141,000 above the budget request. This increase
    above the enacted level includes an increase of $134,558,000
    for wildfire suppression operations. The non-suppression parts
    of the recommended budget are provided $1,241,783,000,
    $104,100,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        Wildfire Preparedness.--The Committee recommends
    $693,000,000 for wildfire preparedness, an increase of
    $18,000,000 above both the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    the request. The increase is to offset fixed cost shortfalls.
    The Committee believes that the Department of the Interior and
    the Forest Service must work together, along with State and
    other partners, to maintain sufficient readiness with the
    preparedness program.
        The Committee directs the Forest Service to maintain the
    levels of readiness needed for public safety that were
    established in fiscal year 2008. Accordingly, the Committee
    directs the Forest Service to analyze current readiness levels
    to determine whether maintaining preparedness resources in the
    field at a level not less than that established in fiscal year
    2008 will, based on the best information available, result in
    lower overall firefighting costs. If the Forest Service makes
    such a determination, the Committee directs the Forest Service
    to adjust the levels for preparedness and suppression funding
    accordingly and report on these adjustments to the House and
    Senate Committees on Appropriations. The Secretary of
    Agriculture should advise the House and Senate Committees on
    Appropriations in writing prior to the decision.
        The Committee understands the Forest Service has undergone
    a thorough examination of its aging air tanker fleet and has
    prepared an analytical report for review by the Administration.
    Recognizing the critical need to plan for future aerial fire
    suppression needs, the Committee directs the Forest Service to
    provide a copy of its report, including an estimate of
    replacement costs, within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
        Wildfire Suppression Operations.--The Committee recommends
    $1,128,505,000 for fire suppression operations as requested,
    $134,558,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, an
    increase of 14 percent. The Committee recommendation fully
    meets the 10-year average expenditure on all emergency and
    discretionary funded suppression actions, adjusted up for
    inflation. The Committee notes that the inclusion of
    $282,000,000 in additional funds within the wildland fire
    suppression contingency reserve fund should provide all the
    funding needed for wildfire suppression. Bill language included
    in administrative provisions provides authority for the Forest
    Service to transfer non-wildfire funds for emergency wildfire
    suppression once all the funds in this account and the new
    contingency account will be obligated within 30 days and
    following Secretarial notification of the House and Senate
    Committees on Appropriations at least 5 days before such a
    transfer occurs. The Committee encourages the Administration
    and the Congress to provide better advance budgetary planning
    during the summer wildfire season so extra emergency resources
    can be provided if required.
        The Committee remains concerned about the high costs of
    large fire incidents. The Department of the Interior, along
    with the Forest Service, should ensure that cost containment is
    an important priority when suppressing wildland fires.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Department of the Interior
    and the Forest Service to continue reports required previously
    and to examine, using independent panels, any individual
    wildfire incident which results in expenses greater than
    $10,000,000.
        Hazardous Fuels.--The Committee recommends $378,086,000 for
    hazardous fuels reduction work, $50,000,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 level and $62,801,000 above the budget request. This
    recommended increase should protect many communities and lead
    to reduced wildfire suppression expenses and less damaging
    wildfires. The recommendation includes $5,000,000 for biomass
    utilization grants as requested.
        Rehabilitation.--The Committee recommends $11,600,000 for
    the burned area rehabilitation and restoration program,
    $100,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $2,600,000 above the request. The recommendation includes
    $100,000 to support urban youth conservation corps activities
    at the San Bernardino NF, CA. The Interior Department and the
    Forest Service should include updates on rehabilitation needs
    in future budget justifications. The Forest Service should
    continue the native plant materials program funding at
    $3,000,000 and this program should work together with the
    Bureau of Land Management program.
        Fire Plan Research and Development.--The Committee
    recommends $23,917,000 for research and development as
    requested, the same as the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        Joint Fire Sciences Program.--The Committee recommends
    $8,000,000 for the joint fire science program as requested, the
    same as the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The Committee
    directs the Interior Department and the Forest Service to work
    on these research efforts jointly, and stress practical
    solutions and collaboration with the Nation's forestry schools
    and other partners. The Committee notes that an additional
    $6,000,000 for this program is provided within the Department
    of the Interior wildland fire management appropriation to
    continue joint departmental service of this effort.
        Forest Health Management, Federal Lands and Co-op Lands.--
    The Committee recommends $37,180,000 for the forest health
    portion of the national fire plan, $10,000,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level and $15,750,000 above the request. The
    increased funding should be used strategically to protect
    Federal and cooperative forests and rangelands, leading to more
    resilient habitats and reduced wildfire danger.
        State Fire Assistance.-- The Committee recommends
    $80,000,000 for State fire assistance, $25,000,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $30,000,000 above the
    request. The program is essential to maintain and enhance the
    partnership among State foresters, State fire agencies and the
    Federal wildfire management enterprise. The increased funding
    should be focused on forestry and habitat projects which
    protect communities and reduce wildfire danger.
        Volunteer Fire Assistance.--The recommendation includes
    $10,000,000 for volunteer fire assistance, $1,000,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $3,000,000 above the
    request.

               WILDLAND FIRE SUPPRESSION CONTINGENCY RESERVE FUND

                         (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................                 0
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................      $282,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       282,000,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................      +282,000,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $282,000,000 for the new wildland
    fire suppression contingency reserve fund as requested. The
    Committee notes that the recommendation also increases base
    funding for suppression activities of the Forest Service by
    $134,558,000 to a total of $1,128,505,000 for fire suppression
    operations, an increase of 14 percent. The combined wildfire
    suppression funding for the Forest Service is $1,410,505,000, a
    42 percent increase over the fiscal year 2009 base
    appropriation.
        As requested by the Administration, the amounts in this
    fund may only be transferred if the President has issued a
    finding that the amounts are necessary for emergency fire
    suppression. The Committee recommendation allows the transfer
    only if the wildland fire management fire suppression funds
    will be obligated within 30 days.
        The Committee notes that its recommendation also includes
    another $369,797,000 for the Interior Department as base
    suppression funding and an additional $75,000,000 for a similar
    contingency account. Thus, the Committee recommendation for
    both wildfire suppression accounts in both departments is
    $1,855,302,000, which is a 40 percent increase over the fiscal
    year 2009 non-emergency level.
        The Committee notes that the Federal Land Assistance,
    Management and Enhancement Act (FLAME Act) passed the House in
    March 2009. That Act authorizes a supplemental funding source
    for catastrophic emergency wildland fire suppression activities
    on Department of the Interior and National Forest System lands.
    If the FLAME Act is authorized, the Committee will work with
    the Administration and others to make this new wildfire
    suppression contingency fund compatible with the new FLAME Act
    funding procedures.

                   ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS, FOREST SERVICE

        The Committee has continued most administrative provisions
    included in previous years. The Committee has continued the
    wildland fire transfer authority, allowing use of funds from
    non-wildfire accounts available to the Forest Service during
    wildfire emergencies when other wildfire emergency funds are
    not available. However, this year this transfer authority can
    be used only after suppression funds in both the wildland fire
    management account and the new contingency account will be
    obligated within 30 days. The Secretary of Agriculture must
    notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations at
    least 5 days before such a transfer occurs. The Administration
    is expected to submit a supplemental request to replenish
    transferred funds as soon as possible.
        The Committee limits funding for the working capital fund
    of the Department of Agriculture to the $78,350,000 requested
    in the budget and limits the transfers to the USDA reimbursable
    programs (Greenbook charges) to the request of $19,825,000.
        The Committee is concerned about the huge costs of agency
    business process centralization and therefore directs that
    detailed reports remain a part of the budget justification and
    that all expenses be carefully evaluated, explained, and
    transparent to the public-at-large. The centralized services
    include, but are not limited to, web-based training, document
    and financial processing, GovTrip, and other on-line systems.
    The Committee is concerned that the centralization may
    adversely affect the overall effectiveness and morale of Forest
    Service employees in the field. The Committee believes an
    independent analysis of these centralized services by the
    Government Accountability Office, including a comprehensive
    review of the purchase card program, is necessary to determine
    whether this program has achieved intended efficiencies and
    cost-savings.
        The Committee continues previous language concerning
    interactions with foreign countries to clarify that the Forest
    Service International Program has the authority to sign
    agreements directly with the U.S. Agency for International
    Development, the Department of State, the Millennium Challenge
    Corporation and natural resource institutions around the world
    to address natural resource issues.
        The Committee continues the authority for transfers to the
    National Forest Foundation and the National Fish and Wildlife
    Foundation. Each is provided $3,000,000, an increase above the
    requested level of $1,000,000 for the former and $350,000 for
    the latter. The Committee notes that it is acceptable for these
    foundations to make grants to Federal recipients, including
    Forest Service offices. The Committee recommendation does not
    provide administrative funds for use of the National Forest
    Foundation.
        The recommendation provides that $5,000,000 is available
    for Youth Conservation Corps and Public Lands Corps projects,
    in accordance with P.L. 109-154.
        The Committee recommendation continues the bill language
    from previous years allowing for payments to counties within
    the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area as authorized by
    Public Law 99-663.
        The Committee has also included bill language which extends
    the existing authority for the use of funds for the purpose of
    expenses associated with primary and secondary schooling for
    dependents of agency personnel stationed in Puerto Rico. This
    must be at a cost not in excess of those authorized by the
    Department of Defense for the same area, if public schools
    available in the locality are unable to provide adequately for
    the education of dependents. An extension was requested by the
    Administration.

                    DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

                             Indian Health Service

        The provision of Federal health services to Indians is
    based on a special relationship between Indian Tribes and the
    U.S. Government first set forth in the 1830's by the U.S.
    Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Marshall. Numerous
    treaties, statutes, constitutional provisions, and
    international law have reconfirmed this relationship. Principal
    among these is the Snyder Act of 1921, which provides the basic
    authority for most Indian health services provided by the
    Federal Government to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The
    Indian Health Service (IHS) provides direct health care
    services in 31 hospitals, 61 health centers, 2 school health
    centers, and 30 health stations. Tribes and Tribal groups,
    through contracts and compacts with the IHS, operate 14
    hospitals, 227 health centers, 13 school health centers, and
    102 health stations (including 166 Alaska Native village
    clinics). The IHS, Tribes, and Tribal groups also operate 11
    regional youth substance abuse treatment centers and 2,370
    units of staff quarters.
        The Committee is pleased that this Administration has
    provided historic increases for Native American health care
    programs. These increases reflect Committee concerns from
    previous years and will do much to address shortfalls
    associated with past budget requests that neglected to provide
    for pay cost increases, medical inflation, and growing
    population needs. The Committee has supported these increases
    and looks forward to working with this Administration to focus
    on the health care needs of Native Americans.
        The amounts recommended by the Committee compared with the
    budget estimates by activity are shown in the following table:

                             INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................    $3,190,956,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................     3,639,868,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................     3,657,618,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................      +466,662,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................      +17,750,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $3,657,618,000 for Indian Health
    Services, $466,662,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level
    and $17,750,000 above the budget request. Changes to the budget
    request are detailed below:
        Domestic Violence.--The Committee recommends $10,000,000 to
    continue the initiative to address domestic violence and sexual
    assault, $2,500,000 over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $2,500,000 above the budget request. The Committee is pleased
    that the Administration also recognizes the significance of
    this problem and has included funding for this initiative in
    its request.
        The Committee remains deeply concerned about the problem of
    domestic violence, particularly violence against women and
    children in Indian Country, but understands that this problem
    cannot be addressed by the Indian Health Service alone. The
    Committee expects the Service to work with the Department of
    the Interior and the Department of Justice to provide the
    needed services and support to victims. The Service is
    encouraged to expand its outreach efforts in communities to
    increase awareness of this problem and work with community
    leaders to find ways to address it at the local level.
        Within the amount provided for domestic violence and sexual
    assault prevention and treatment, the Indian Health Service is
    directed to implement a nationally coordinated Sexual Assault
    Forensic Examiner/Sexual Assault Response Team (SAFE/SART)
    Program to be used to fund IHS and Tribal hospitals through
    competitive grants to build local SAFE and SART capacity. In
    addition, the Service is directed to expand its national
    domestic violence grant program to address the growing need for
    increased Federal, Tribal and Urban Domestic Violence program
    services. IHS is also encouraged to evaluate its system-wide
    sexual assault and domestic violence prevention and response
    capacity.
        The Committee questions the Department of Health and Human
    Services (DHHS) policy on witness subpoenas and is concerned
    that it may hinder the Indian Health Service mission to promote
    the health and well-being of all Native Americans. It has been
    reported that, in cases of rape or sexual assault, bureaucratic
    obstacles imposed by DHHS policy prevent many IHS personnel
    from presenting testimony in these cases. Reportedly, this
    policy has caused cases to be dropped and alleged perpetrators
    to walk free. The Committee finds this unacceptable. The
    Service and the Department are directed to reevaluate and
    revise this policy to ensure that IHS personnel are able to
    testify and present evidence in these cases and to report to
    the Committee on their efforts within 90 days of enactment.
        Dental Health.--The Committee recommends $152,634,000 for
    the dental health program, $10,698,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $1,250,000 above the budget request. The
    Committee is pleased to see progress in reducing the vacancy
    rate among dental professionals but is still concerned about
    the projected retirement rate of recognized specialty dentists.
    The increase provided is for the Headquarters Division of Oral
    Health, to be used by the Director of the Division of Oral
    Health with $1,000,000 to expand the dental residency program
    and $250,000 to expand the summer extern program.
        In addition, the Service is directed to further its dental
    health efforts by utilizing a portion of the health information
    technology funds provided within Hospitals and Health Clinics
    to refine and expedite the deployment schedule of the
    electronic dental record (EDR). The Service is strongly
    encouraged to make implementing the EDR a priority as it works
    to fully implement the overall electronic health record system.
        Alcohol and Substance Abuse.--The Committee recommends
    $194,409,000 for the Alcohol and Substance Abuse program as
    requested, $10,640,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level. The Committee has learned that the Service has not
    reached any agreement with Tribal leaders on how the funds
    appropriated for the methamphetamine prevention and treatment
    initiative from previous years can best be distributed. Given
    the epidemic levels of methamphetamine abuse in Indian Country,
    the Committee believes this program can provide much-needed
    support to communities that struggle with methamphetamine
    abuse. The Committee directs the Service to report within 60
    days of enactment of this Act on how this situation will be
    resolved and how prior year and fiscal year 2010 funds will be
    allocated.
        Indian Health Care Improvement Fund.--The Committee
    recommends $45,543,000 for the Indian Health Care Improvement
    Fund, $30,543,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    the same as the budget request. The Service is directed to
    allocate the increased funding for the Fund to bring those
    units with the highest level of need up to at least 45 percent
    of need before allocating any additional funds to units with
    needs above 45 percent.
        Urban Indian Health Program.--The Committee recommends
    $43,139,000 for the urban health program, $6,950,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $5,000,000 above the budget
    request. From within the increase provided, the Service is
    directed to conduct a new needs assessment of the urban Indian
    health program and the communities it serves.
        Indian Health Professions.--The Committee recommends
    $40,743,000 for Indian health professions, $3,243,000 over the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same as the budget
    request. The Service is expected to use health professions
    program funding for loan repayment and scholarship programs to
    encourage increased recruitment and retention of health
    professionals.

        The Committee recommends $394,757,000 for Indian health
    facilities as requested, $4,589,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.
        The Committee remains concerned about the systemic
    weaknesses in the IHS inventory management system, as
    identified by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). A
    recently released follow-up investigation by the GAO suggests
    these weaknesses persist. The Committee expects the Service to
    ensure that the provision of health care services is not
    adversely affected by these problems and that it is working to
    strengthen administration and accountability. The Service is
    directed to evaluate its inventory management system, identify
    and correct any deficiencies, and provide a detailed report to
    the Committee on its efforts within 30 days of enactment of
    this Act.

                         National Institutes of Health

              NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES

        The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
    (NIEHS), an agency within the National Institutes of Health,
    was authorized in section 311(a) of the Comprehensive
    Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
    and in section 126(g) of the Superfund Amendments and
    Reauthorization Act of 1986 to conduct certain research and
    worker training activities associated with the nation's
    Hazardous Substance Superfund program.

        The Committee recommends $79,212,000 for the National
    Institute of Environmental Health Sciences as requested,
    $1,138,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The
    Committee supports the work of the NIEHS to provide scientific
    research and worker training to address and prevent diseases
    caused by environmental contamination.

                Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry

                TOXIC SUBSTANCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH

        The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
    (ATSDR), an agency of the Public Health Service, was created in
    section 104(i) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
    Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980. The ATSDR's primary
    mission is to conduct surveys and screening programs to
    determine relationships between exposure to toxic substances
    and illness. Other activities include the maintenance and
    annual update of a list of hazardous substances most commonly
    found at Superfund sites, the preparation of toxicological
    profiles on each such hazardous substance, consultations on
    health issues relating to exposure to hazardous or toxic
    substances, and the development and implementation of certain
    research activities related to ATSDR's mission.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $74,039,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        76,792,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        76,792,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        +2,753,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $76,792,000 for the Agency for
    Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) as requested,
    $2,753,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
        In recent years, the Centers for Disease Control and
    Prevention (CDC) has been charging the ATSDR over 16 percent
    for administrative expenses. In fiscal year 2009, the Committee
    placed a 12 percent limit on these administrative expenses and
    directed the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct
    a review on the indirect/administrative costs paid to the CDC.
    Subsequent to the Committee's direction to the GAO, the CDC
    announced plans to re-commission a study to update the way it
    determines administrative costs. The Committee directs ATSDR to
    report the results of the study as soon as available. The
    Committee will make a decision on whether to impose a cap for
    fiscal year 2010 based on the results of both the CDC study and
    the GAO review. The Committee continues to support the work of
    minority health professional schools in the ATSDR effort to
    educate and train within minority and medically underserved
    communities. The Committee urges a greater focus on
    environmental health education and training to promote
    environmental health policy and behavioral change in impacted
    communities.

                            Smithsonian Institution

        The Smithsonian Institution is the world's largest museum
    and research complex, with 19 museums and galleries, 20
    libraries, numerous research centers and the National
    Zoological Park. Funded by both private and Federal sources,
    the Smithsonian is unique in the Federal establishment. Created
    by an act of Congress in 1846 to carry out the trust included
    in James Smithson's will, it has been engaged for more than 150
    years in the ``increase and diffusion of knowledge.'' In 2008,
    the Smithsonian attracted more than 25 million visitors to its
    museums, galleries, and zoological park. Additional millions
    also view Smithsonian traveling exhibitions and participate in
    the annual Folklife Festival on the National Mall. As custodian
    of the National Collections, the Smithsonian is responsible for
    more than 136 million art objects, natural history specimens,
    and artifacts. These scientific and cultural collections are a
    vital resource for global research and conservation efforts.
    The collections are displayed for the education and enjoyment
    of visitors and are available for research by the staff of the
    Institution and by thousands of visiting students, scientists,
    and historians each year.
        The Committee recommends $774,161,000 for all Smithsonian
    Institution accounts, an increase of $42,761,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 level. In addition, $15,000,000 appropriated
    for the Legacy Fund in fiscal year 2008 is transferred to the
    facilities capital account for high priority deferred
    maintenance and revitalization projects. The amounts
    recommended by the Committee for the Smithsonian Institution,
    compared with the budget estimates by activity, are shown in
    the following table:

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $593,400,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       634,161,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       634,161,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +40,761,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $634,161,000 for salaries and
    expenses as requested, $40,761,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level. The Committee recognizes that the Smithsonian
    Institution has implemented many changes to improve governance
    and accountability. The Committee notes that both the GAO and
    the Inspector General have stated that considerable progress
    has been made, but that continued public and Congressional
    oversight is important. The Committee expects to get regular
    updates as the governance committee recommendations and new
    strategic plan continue to be implemented. The Committee
    recommendation makes most funds available until September 30,
    2011. The Committee is very interested in the Smithsonian's
    focus on education and outreach; there is great promise for
    enhanced contact with more citizens all over the Nation, as
    well as visitors to the remarkable facilities in Washington,
    DC, and elsewhere.
        It has come to the Committee's attention that some
    Smithsonian Institution collections, such as the priceless
    military uniform collection at the National Museum of American
    History, may be stored in unsatisfactory conditions. Proper
    care and storage of these collections is paramount. The
    Committee urges the Smithsonian to take the necessary steps to
    preserve these irreplaceable historical collections and ensure
    that preservation of its collections is made a high priority.

                               FACILITIES CAPITAL
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................      $123,000,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       125,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       140,000,000

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................      +15,000,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $140,000,000 for facilities
    capital, $17,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level
    and $15,000,000 above the budget request. The increase above
    the request should be used for high priority, deferred
    maintenance and revitalization projects.
        The Committee bill does not include funding for the Legacy
    Fund, as requested, a decrease of $15,000,000 below the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level.
        The Committee recommendation fully supports the budget
    request and provides additional funding to maintain the
    revitalization program at approximately the same level of
    effort as in fiscal year 2009. The Committee recognizes the GAO
    reports and other independent analyses that document the
    Smithsonian's revitalization and deferred maintenance backlog
    of $2.5 billion. The Committee recommendation fully funds the
    $20,000,000 requested for the design of the new National Museum
    of African American History and Culture, which will be built
    next to the Washington Monument on the National Mall.

               ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

        The Committee recommendation includes bill language which
    transfers $14,766,000 appropriated in fiscal year 2008 (Public
    Law 110-161; 121 Stat. 2140), from the Legacy Fund into the
    facilities capital account so these funds can be utilized by
    the Smithsonian Institution under the same terms and conditions
    that apply to other facilities capital funds.

                            National Gallery of Art

        The National Gallery of Art is one of the world's great
    galleries. Its magnificent works of art are displayed for the
    benefit of millions of visitors from this and other nations.
    The National Gallery of Art serves as an example of a
    successful cooperative endeavor between private individuals and
    institutions and the Federal Government. The many special
    exhibitions shown in the Gallery and throughout the country
    bring great art treasures to Washington, DC and the Nation. In
    1999, the Gallery opened a sculpture garden, which provides an
    opportunity for the public to have an outdoor, artistic
    experience in a contemplative setting.
        The amounts recommended by the Committee compared with the
    budget request and 2009 enacted levels are shown by account,
    program area and selected activity in the following table.

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................      $105,388,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       108,986,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................       110,746,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        +5,358,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +1,760,000
        The Committee recommends $110,746,000 for salaries and
    expenses of the National Gallery of Art, $5,358,000 above the
    fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $1,760,000 above the
    request. Within the amount provided, the Committee has restored
    the funds for the Gallery's Special Exhibition program. This
    successful program, a critical part of the Gallery's
    educational mission, joins public and private sector efforts to
    bring major works of art from public and private collections
    around the world for the enjoyment of millions who visit the
    Gallery and its web site. The Special Exhibitions program
    extends the educational mission of the Gallery by contributing
    to a variety of complementary educational events, including
    adult and student tours and family and teacher workshops.
        Bill Language.--The Committee has included bill language
    which specifies the amount provided for Special Exhibitions.

                REPAIR, RESTORATION AND RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $17,368,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        56,259,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        56,259,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +38,891,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $56,259,000 as requested, for
    repair, restoration and renovation of buildings at the National
    Gallery of Art, $38,891,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level. The Committee has included construction funds necessary
    to repair a systemic structural failure of the anchors which
    support the National Gallery's East Building exterior marble
    veneer. A group of Committee members viewed the failure and
    agree with the Gallery and expert engineering consultants that
    the situation poses a severe safety hazard to both visitors and
    staff of the Gallery. The funds provided here are only a
    portion of the funds the Gallery will need to remove, repair
    and reinstall all 16,200 panels on the face of the East
    Building.

                 John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

        The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is a
    living memorial to the late President Kennedy and is the
    National Center for the Performing Arts. The Center houses nine
    stages, six of which have a total of more than 7,300 seats. The
    Center consists of over 1.5 million square feet of usable floor
    space with visitation averaging 10,000 on a daily basis. The
    support systems in the building, the operation and maintenance
    of which are funded through this account, often operate at
    capacity 18 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

        The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for operations and
    maintenance, $3,700,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $2,500,000 above the request. The additional funding
    may be used to assist arts organizations with tools to manage
    challenges posed by the economy, such as board governance,
    budgeting, marketing, technology and other areas pertinent to
    managing a vital performing arts organization in a troubled
    economy. The Committee must be notified in advance of any
    funding used for this purpose.

        The Committee recommends $17,447,000 for capital repair and
    restoration as requested, $2,383,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.

                Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES

        The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars is a
    unique institution with a special mission to serve as a living
    memorial to President Woodrow Wilson. The Center performs this
    mandate through its role as an international institute for
    advanced study as well as a facilitator for discussions among
    scholars, public officials, journalists and business leaders
    from across the country on major long-term issues facing this
    Nation and the world.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $10,000,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        10,225,000

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +2,000,000
        The Committee recommends $12,225,000 for salaries and
    expenses of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
    Scholars, an increase of $2,225,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $2,000,000 above the request.

               National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities

                        National Endowment for the Arts

                           GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION
     Appropriation enacted, 2009*..........................      $155,000,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       161,315,000

    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +15,000,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................       +8,685,000*Total does not include funding provided in the American Recovery and
      Reinvestment Act of 2009.

        The Committee recommends $170,000,000 for the National
    Endowment for the Arts (NEA), $15,000,000 above the fiscal year
    2009 enacted level and $8,685,000 above the budget request. The
    Committee has recommended this increase in recognition of the
    high quality of programs initiated by the Endowment over the
    last several years and the broad and bipartisan support it
    garners. The Committee has been especially pleased with the
    American Masterpieces, Big Read and Operation Homecoming
    initiatives. Funding for the Endowment was reduced by over 40
    percent in the mid-1990's, and the $15,000,000 increase
    recommended for fiscal year 2010 continues the process of
    restoring funding to historic levels. All programs of the NEA
    will benefit from this increase.
        Bill language.--The Committee agrees with the request to
    reinstate four positions on the National Council on the Arts
    that were eliminated in 1996. This increase will enable the
    National Endowment of the Arts to receive counsel and advice
    from a more diverse body that represents a broader array of
    arts disciplines and fields.
        The allocation of funding among NEA activities is shown in
    the following table:

    *Does not include request for National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs
      Grant Program.

        The Committee recommends a total of $170,000,000 for the
    National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), $15,000,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $8,685,000 above the
    budget request. The Committee does not agree with the proposal
    to fund the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs Grant
    program through the NEH. Instead, the Committee continues
    administration of the National Capital Arts and Cultural
    Affairs Grant program through the Commission of Fine Arts, as
    in prior years. The allocation of funding among these
    activities is shown in the following table:

                            Commission of Fine Arts

        The Commission of Fine Arts was established in 1910 to meet
    the need for a permanent body to advise the government on
    matters pertaining to the arts, and particularly, to guide the
    architectural development of Washington, DC. Over the years the
    Commission's scope has been expanded to include advice on areas
    such as plans for parks, public buildings, location of National
    monuments, and development of public squares. As a result, the
    Commission annually reviews approximately 500 projects. In
    fiscal year 1988 the Commission was given responsibility for
    the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program.

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $2,294,000 for salaries and
    expenses of the Commission of Fine Arts as requested, an
    increase of $60,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.
    The Committee has included bill language requested by the
    Administration that permits the Commission to accept gifts.

                   NATIONAL CAPITAL ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $9,500,000
    Budget estimate, 2010*................................        10,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        10,000,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................          +500,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
    *The President requested these funds under the National Endowment for
      the Humanities.

        The National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program was
    established in Public Law 99-190 to support artistic and
    cultural programs in the Nation's Capital. The Committee
    recommends $10,000,000 as requested, $500,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level. The Committee has not accepted the
    President's request to transfer administration of this program
    to the National Endowment for the Humanities, nor to
    fundamentally alter the nature and purpose of the program by
    eliminating the criteria for grant applicants. Bill language
    has been included in Title IV General Provisions to increase
    the authorization for this program to $10,000,000 and the
    maximum allowable grant level to $650,000 per recipient per
    year.

                   Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES

        The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 established
    the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The Advisory
    Council was reauthorized as part of the Omnibus Parks and
    Public Lands Management Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-333). The
    Council's mandate is to further the National policy of
    preserving historic and cultural resources for the benefit of
    present and future generations. The Council advises the
    President and Congress on preservation matters and provides
    consultation on historic properties threatened by Federal
    action.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $5,498,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         5,908,000

        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $5,908,000 for salaries and
    expenses of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, as
    requested, which is an increase of $410,000 above the fiscal
    year 2009 enacted level.

                      National Capital Planning Commission

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES

        The National Capital Planning Act of 1952 designated the
    National Capital Planning Commission as the central planning
    agency for the Federal government in the National Capital
    Region. The three major functions of the Commission are to
    prepare and adopt the Federal elements of the National Capital
    Comprehensive Plan, prepare an annual report on a five-year
    projection of the Federal Capital Improvement Program, and
    review plans and proposals submitted to the Commission.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $8,328,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         8,507,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................         8,507,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................          +179,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $8,507,000 for salaries and
    expenses of the National Capital Planning Commission as
    requested, an increase of $179,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level.

                    United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

                           HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

        In 1980, Congress passed legislation creating a 65 member
    Holocaust Memorial Council with the mandate to create and
    oversee a living memorial/museum to victims of the Holocaust.
    The museum opened in April 1993. Construction costs for the
    museum came solely from donated funds raised by the U.S.
    Holocaust Memorial Museum Campaign and appropriated funds were
    used for planning and development of programmatic components,
    overall administrative support, and annual commemorative
    observances. Since the opening of the museum, appropriated
    funds have been provided to pay for the ongoing operating costs
    of the museum as authorized by Public Law 102-529 and Public
    Law 106-292.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $47,260,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        48,551,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        48,551,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        +1,291,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................                 0
        The Committee recommends $48,551,000 for the Holocaust
    Memorial Museum as requested, an increase of $1,291,000 above
    the fiscal year 2009 enacted level.

                                 Presidio Trust

                              PRESIDIO TRUST FUND
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................       $17,450,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................        17,230,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        23,200,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................        +5,750,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        +5,970,000
        The Committee recommends $23,200,000 for the Presidio Trust
    Fund, an increase of $5,750,000 above the fiscal year 2009
    enacted level and $5,970,000 above the budget request. These
    funds are used to support the transition of the Presidio Army
    base in San Francisco to a mixed use, financially independent
    facility by the year 2013, as authorized by Public Law 104-333.
    Federal appropriations have been provided to the Presidio Trust
    since 1999 based on the self-sufficiency plan required by the
    basic legislation. Unfortunately, the accumulated effect of
    multiple years of across-the-board reductions has left the
    Federal government approximately $12,000,000 in arrears on its
    total commitment under the self-sufficiency plan. The increase
    recommended by the Committee over the President's request is
    intended to continue to address this shortfall.
        Within the funds provided, the Committee encourages the
    Presidio Trust to establish a task force that will meet with
    the Presidio Board of Directors on matters related to the reuse
    and revitalization of Fort Scott, particularly taking into
    account the Presidio Trust's mandate under the Presidio Trust
    Act.

                    Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES

        The Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission was
    established by Congress in 1999 by Public Law 106-79 for the
    purpose of creating an appropriate, permanent memorial to
    Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Commission has escalated its work
    over the last two years in identifying the location for the
    Memorial, finalizing a design and developing a fund raising
    plan.
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................        $2,000,000
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................         3,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................         2,000,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................                 0
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        -1,000,000
        The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for salaries and
    expenses, the same as the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
    $1,000,000 below the budget request.

                              CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION
     Appropriation enacted, 2009...........................                 0
    Budget estimate, 2010.................................       $16,000,000
    Recommended, 2010.....................................        10,000,000
    Comparison:
        Appropriation, 2009...............................       +10,000,000
        Budget estimate, 2010.............................        -6,000,000
        The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for capital
    construction, $10,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
    level and $6,000,000 below the budget request. The Committee
    has decreased funding because not all of the request can be
    spent in fiscal year 2010. The amount provided will begin the
    first phase of design planning for the Memorial. The Commission
    is encouraged to continue its fundraising efforts and refine
    its plan to finance a significant amount of construction costs
    through private funding.

                          TITLE IV--GENERAL PROVISIONS

        Section 401 continues a provision providing for public
    availability of information on consulting services contracts.
        Section 402 continues a provision prohibiting activities to
    promote public support or opposition to legislative proposals.
        Section 403 continues a provision providing for annual
    appropriations unless expressly provided otherwise in this Act.
        Section 404 continues a provision limiting the use of
    personal cooks, chauffeurs or servants.
        Section 405 provides for restrictions on departmental
    assessments unless approved by the Committees on
    Appropriations.
        Section 406 prohibits the transfer of funds unless provided
    in this or other Acts.
        Section 407 continues a limitation on accepting and
    processing applications for patents and on the patenting of
    Federal lands; permits processing of grandfathered
    applications; and permits third-party contractors to process
    grandfathered applications.
        Section 408 continues a provision limiting payments for
    contract support costs in past years to the funds available in
    law and accompanying report language in those years for the
    Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service.
        Section 409 continues a provision allowing Forest Service
    land management plans to be more than 15 years old if the
    Secretary of Agriculture is acting in good faith to update such
    plans.
        Section 410 continues a provision limiting preleasing,
    leasing, and related activities within the boundaries of
    National Monuments.
        Section 411 includes technical changes to a previous
    provision providing the Secretary of the Interior and the
    Secretary of Agriculture the authority to enter into reciprocal
    agreements with foreign wildfire organizations concerning the
    tort liability of firefighters.
        Section 412 continues a provision authorizing the Secretary
    of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to give
    consideration to rural communities, local and non-profit
    groups, and disadvantaged workers in entering into contracts
    for hazardous fuels and watershed projects.
        Section 413 continues a provision which restricts funding
    for acquisition of land from being used for declarations of
    taking or complaints in condemnation.
        Section 414 amends existing law to continue for one year
    certain authorities to renew grazing permits or leases
    administered by the Forest Service or Department of the
    Interior. This will allow time for the agencies to complete the
    required environmental reviews. The Committee recognizes that
    the increasing numbers of permits expiring, increased costs for
    processing, and litigation, have resulted in a significant
    backlog and workload in processing permits. The Committee
    remains supportive of these renewals in an effort to avoid
    unnecessary hardship and administrative expense for existing
    permittees, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service,
    and interested members of the public. The Committee has
    provided $1,000,000 for the BLM range management activity to
    help reduce this considerable backlog. Those funds should be
    targeted to those areas where litigation is causing significant
    delays. Further, the Committee also directs the Secretaries of
    Interior and Agriculture to, within 60 days of enactment of
    this Act, submit a report to the House and Senate Committees
    making legislative, programmatic and resource recommendations
    necessary to ensure that all permits are reviewed and processed
    in a timely manner.
        Section 415 amends the National Foundation on the Arts and
    the Humanities Act of 1965 to reinstate four positions to the
    National Council on the Arts, and increases the number of
    members necessary for the National Council on the Arts to
    constitute a quorum.
        Section 416 increases the authorization for the National
    Arts and Cultural Affairs program to $10,000,000 and the
    maximum allowable grant level to $650,000 per recipient per
    year.
        Section 417 extends an existing pilot program for the sale
    of forest botanical products by the Forest Service through
    fiscal year 2014. This program provides a mechanism to fund the
    environmental analyses and administrative tasks necessary for a
    successful, small program which provides sustainable harvests
    of certain botanical products, which aids rural communities.
        Section 418 provides that the payment of bonuses for coal
    leases on Federal lands be treated in the same way that the
    government treats oil and gas leases. The Mineral Leasing Act
    (30 U.S.C. 201(a)(1)) and current regulations allow payment for
    many coal leases to be deferred over five years and not paid
    over one year as is the case for all oil and gas leases. The
    Committee recommendation requires that coal leases will be
    treated in the same manner as oil and gas leases on Federal
    lands and waters. The coal industry on BLM-managed lands is now
    a mature industry. The deferral provision was originally
    established to encourage coal mining and establishment of new
    mines. Additional revenue obtained for the Federal government
    during fiscal year 2010 is estimated at $207,000,000. The
    States where the coal is leased will also gain a similar
    amount.
        Section 419 provides that for fiscal year 2010, as
    requested by the Administration, geothermal energy receipts
    will be directed back to the historic formula of 50 percent to
    the States and 50 percent to the Treasury.
        Section 420 extends a previous successful authority known
    as the Colorado Good Neighbor Act authority for four years.
    This authority allows for the Secretary of Agriculture, via
    cooperative agreement or contract, to permit the Colorado State
    Forest Service to perform certain watershed restoration and
    protection services on national forest system lands in the
    State of Colorado where similar or complementary watershed
    restoration and protection services are being performed on
    adjacent State or private lands. The types of services include
    treatment of insect infected trees, reduction of hazardous
    fuels, and other activities to restore or improve watersheds or
    fish and wildlife habitat across ownership boundaries.
        Section 421 defers an Ultradeepwater oil and gas research
    and development grant directed by the Energy Policy Act of
    2005.
        Section 422 amends Section 302(a) of the Secure Rural
    Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (16
    U.S.C.5 7142(a)) to allow counties to use their funds to pay
    the salaries and benefits of county employees who supervise
    persons performing mandatory community service on Federal
    lands.
        Section 423 incorporates the allocation for the projects
    and purposes as outlined in the table titled ``Congressionally
    Directed Spending'' in this report. This is in addition to the
    allocation requirements specified in this report for ``National
    Park Service--Historic Preservation Fund'' for Save America's
    Treasures and ``Environmental Protection Agency--State and
    Tribal Assistance Grants'' for special project grants for the
    construction of drinking water, wastewater and storm
    infrastructure and for water quality protection.
        Section 424 requires the President to submit a report to

                        BILL-WIDE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

                            Constitutional Authority

        Clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII requires each committee report
    on a public bill or joint resolution to contain a statement
    citing the specific powers granted to Congress in the
    Constitution to enact the law proposed by the bill or joint
    resolution.
        The Committee on Appropriations bases its authority to
    report this legislation on clause 7 of section 9 of article I
    of the Constitution of the United States, which states ``No
    money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of
    Appropriations made by Law. . . .''
        Appropriations contained in this Act are made pursuant to
    this specific power granted by the Constitution.

             Statement of General Performance Goals and Objectives

        Pursuant to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of the
    House of Representatives, the following is a statement of
    general performance goals and objectives for which this measure
    authorizes funding:
        The Committee on Appropriations considers program
    performance, including a program's success in developing and
    attaining outcome-related goals and objectives, in developing
    funding recommendations.

                     Changes in Application of Existing Law

        Pursuant to clause 3, rule XIII of the Rules of the House
    of Representatives, the following Statements are submitted
    describing the effect of provisions in the accompanying bill,
    which directly or indirectly change the application of existing
    law. In most instances these provisions have been included in
    prior appropriations Acts.
        The bill includes the following changes in application of
    existing law:

                                  OVERALL BILL

        Providing that certain appropriations remain available
    until expended or extends the availability of funds beyond the
    fiscal year where programs or projects are continuing but for
    which legislation does not specifically authorize such extended
    availability. This authority tends to result in savings by
    preventing the practice of committing funds on low priority
    projects at the end of the fiscal year to avoid losing the
    funds.
        Limiting, in certain instances, the obligation of funds for
    particular functions or programs. These limitations include
    restrictions on the obligation of funds for administrative
    expenses, travel expenses, the use of consultants, and
    programmatic areas within the overall jurisdiction of a
    particular agency.
        Limiting official entertainment or reception and
    representation expenses for selected agencies in the bill.

    which require annual authorization or additional legislation,
    which has not been enacted.

           DIRECTED SPENDING BY CONGRESS AND BY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH

        This bill contains $3.4 billion in grant funding awarded
    solely at the discretion of the Administration, and $312
    million in funding requested by the President for specific
    projects. In addition to placing a one-year moratorium on
    earmarks in appropriations bills enacted in 2007 so that new
    rules could be put in place, the Committee has subsequently
    taken unprecedented action to increase transparency and reduce
    funding for earmarks. The bill continues to further reduce
    earmarks in 2010, by 20 percent below 2009. In this bill since
    2006, the total funding earmarked has been reduced by 35
    percent. This year earmarked funding will equal 1 percent of
    the cost of the bill. It should also be noted that under the
    policies adopted by the Committee the use of member earmarks
    awarded to for-profit entities as a functional equivalent of no
    bid contracts is ended. In cases where the Committee funds an
    earmark designated for a for-profit entity, the Committee
    includes legislative language requiring the Executive Branch to
    nonetheless issue a request for proposal that gives other
    entities an opportunity to apply and requires the agency to
    evaluate all bids received and make a decision based on merit.
    This gives the original designee an opportunity to be brought
    to the attention of the agency, but with the possibility that
    an alternative entity may be selected.

                 MINORITY VIEWS OF JERRY LEWIS AND MIKE SIMPSON

        We appreciate the reasonable and even-handed manner in
    which Chairman Dicks has conducted the business of the Interior
    and Environment subcommittee. While we may disagree about the
    need for a 17 percent increase in this year's subcommittee
    allocation, our work together has been a bipartisan,
    collaborative effort. We are certainly not going to agree on
    every issue before us, but even when we disagree, we continue
    to work well with Chairman Dicks.
        We'd also like to commend the Chairman for the
    extraordinary oversight activity of our subcommittee this year.
    Oversight is one of this committee's most important functions
    and we've upheld that responsibility by holding 20 committee
    hearings since the beginning of the year involving over 100
    witnesses. We don't know of many subcommittees that can match
    that record.
        We also want to applaud the Chairman's decision to provide
    full pay and fixed costs for each of the agencies under the
    subcommittee's jurisdiction. We remain concerned by the fact
    that the President's budget submission for the U.S. Forest
    Service covered only 60 percent of pay and fixed costs while
    the budget request for the Department of the Interior included
    one-hundred percent of pay and fixed costs. To date, the
    Committee has received no explanation or justification from the
    Administration for this discrepancy.
        We are also pleased by the needed attention this
    legislation provides to our Native American brothers and
    sisters. There are many unmet needs within Indian Country--in
    education, health care, law enforcement, drug abuse prevention,
    and other areas--and this bill does a great deal to address
    these issues.
        We agree with Chairman Dicks on many things including our
    obligation to be good stewards of our environment and public
    lands for future generations. However, we part ways when it
    comes to the need for an allocation as generous as the one
    Chairman Obey has provided for this bill.
        The 302(b) allocation for this bill is $32.3 billion, a
    $4.7 billion, or 17 percent, increase over last year's enacted
    level. This increase comes on the heels of historic increases
    in this subcommittee's spending in recent years.
        Interior and Environment subcommittee spending between FY
    2007 and FY 2009--including base bills, emergency
    supplementals, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act--
    has increased by 41 percent--and that's before this year's 17
    percent increase.
        Chairman Obey is fond of saying, ``Show me a smaller
    problem and I'll show you a smaller solution.'' We may not be
    able to show the Chairman a smaller problem, but we can show
    him an historical bigger problem where the ``solution'' of more
    and more deficit spending has not worked--including the Great
    Depression in the 1930's and Japan in the 1990's.
        But it isn't just the spending that concerns us. This
    legislation is funding large increases in programs without
    having clearly defined goals or sufficient processes in place
    to measure the return on our investment. We are making rapid
    investments in water, climate change, renewable energy, and
    other areas--all of them worthy endeavors--but with relatively
    little planning and coordination across multiple agencies and
    the rest of government.
        Our country has some serious environmental challenges that
    need to be addressed. And we have an overly generous allocation
    to meet many of those needs. But, with all due respect to
    Chairman Obey--too often we believe that our commitment to an
    issue is measured by the amount of money we spend rather than
    how we're spending the money. History has shown us that bigger
    budgets do not necessarily produce better results.
        The climate change issue is an illustration of this point.
    ``Climate change'' is today what the term ``homeland security''
    was in the days and months following the terrorist attacks of
    9/11. Anyone that came to our offices to discuss an issue spoke
    of it in the context of ``homeland security.'' The argument
    was, ``We have to have XYZ because our homeland security
    depends upon it.''
        Well, today many of our priorities are related to climate
    change. We agree with Chairman Dicks that it's an issue we need
    to study carefully and know more about. It's affecting the
    intensity of our wildfires and even the duration of our fire
    seasons. But what have we learned from the money this
    subcommittee and other committees have already provided? Are we
    spending $420 million on climate change next year to learn
    something new or to re-learn what we already know?
        We're also concerned that many climate change functions
    within this bill won't be coordinated with similar efforts
    undertaken by other Federal agencies resulting in a duplication
    of efforts. We ought to require coordination across the entire
    Federal government on an issue as important as this.
        It's for this reason that the minority offered an
    amendment--adopted during full committee consideration--
    requiring the President to report to Congress 120 days after
    submission of his FY 2011 budget request on all obligations and
    expenditures across government on climate change programs and
    activities for FY 2008, FY2009, and FY2010. It's not because
    we're opposed to climate change programs but because they need
    to be coordinated government-wide.
        Given the uncertain economic times our country is facing,
    we're also troubled by the unsustainable pattern of spending in
    this legislation. This subcommittee and this Congress ought to
    be as concerned about the impact of too much spending as we are
    about the potential impact of climate change and other issues.
        Chairman Dicks has spoken on many occasions about what he
    describes as ``the dark days'' and ``the misguided policies and
    priorities of the previous Administration.'' Still, for any
    perceived or real inadequacies of past policies or budgets, it
    would be a mistake for any of us to believe that we can simply
    spend our way to a solution for every challenge we face.
        The Federal Reserve Chairman--Ben Bernanke--recently told
    Congress that it's time for the Obama Administration to develop
    a strategy to address record deficits or risk long-term damage
    to our economy. He said, ``Unless we demonstrate a strong
    commitment to fiscal sustainability in the longer term, we will
    have neither financial stability nor healthy economic growth.''
        A good bill is a balanced bill. But providing a
    disproportionate level of funding to one agency creates an
    imbalance that undermines the legitimate needs of other
    deserving agencies. That is why we question a $10.5 billion
    budget for the EPA--a 37 percent increase from just last year.
    This is on top of the $7.2 billion the agency received in the
    stimulus package and the $7.6 billion it received in the
    enacted 2009 Interior bill. Taken together, the EPA will
    receive over $25 billion in this calendar year alone. That's
    about the size of this subcommittee's entire budget just two
    years ago.
        We're including a series of tables and charts at the
    conclusion of these views illustrating the unprecedented levels
    of spending in this legislation. These include major increases
    by Title, as well as a summary of increases by agency under the
    jurisdiction of this subcommittee.
        While the EPA will receive an extraordinary, historic
    funding increase, it's worth noting that the U.S. Forest
    Service was recently rated as one of the worst places to work
    in the federal government by a study conducted by the Office of
    Personnel Management. It isn't clear why Forest Service
    employees feel as they do but it may be linked to the
    incredible funding challenges the Service has faced in recent
    years due to the growing cost of fire suppression.
        From our hearings we know that almost 50 percent of the
    Forest Service budget is now consumed by the costs of fighting
    wildfires. In past years, the Forest Service has had to borrow
    hundreds of millions of dollars from other accounts just to pay
    for fire suppression. Without any question, this creates
    uncertainty among Forest Service employees.
        President Obama is to be commended for tackling the issue
    of budgeting for fire suppression by proposing a fully-funded
    fire suppression budget as well as a contingency reserve fund.
    We commend Chairman Dicks for providing the Forest Service with
    resources to address many fire-related needs. Still, based upon
    recent fire patterns and the monumental increase in demand for
    fire suppression dollars, we felt strongly that the wildland
    fire contingency reserve fund should be funded at the
    President's request level of $357 million. This reserve fund is
    similar to the emergency funding source contained in the FLAME
    Act which passed the House in March on an overwhelming 412-3
    vote.
        That is why the minority offered an amendment--adopted
    during full committee consideration--that increased the fire
    contingency reserve fund from $250 million in the Chairman's
    mark to the President's request level of $357 million. If
    virtually every other item in this legislation is funded at or
    above the President's request level, there is no justifiable
    reason to exclude fire suppression.
        We paid for this increase by rescinding $107 million from
    the EPA's prior year balances. According to a May, 2009 report
    issued by the EPA Inspector General's office, the EPA presently
    has $163 million on the books that have been sitting there
    unspent since 1999. The EPA does some good work but if these
    dollars haven't been spent in 10 years, we ought to put them to
    good use fighting fires.
        In closing, while Chairman Dicks has done a fine job
    addressing many critical issues through this legislation, we
    don't believe that during this time of extreme economic
    uncertainty that a $4.7 billion, or 17 percent, increase over
    the FY09 enacted level is justified or warranted. This
    unprecedented increase follows a $3.2 billion, or 13 percent,
    increase between FY2008 and FY2009 spending bills as well as an
    $11 billion infusion from the American Recovery and
    Reinvestment Act.
        It is our hope that between now and conference negotiations
    with the Senate later this year we can address the most
    egregious spending issues and seek bipartisan consensus on a
    reasonable, sustainable subcommittee allocation. Our sincere
    hope is to continue working together with Chairman Dicks to
    fashion a balanced, responsible, and sustainable conference
    report worthy of broad, bipartisan support.
                                                           Jerry Lewis.
