    The Committee recommends total appropriations of

fiscal year 2011, $154,835,000 more than the budget request. Of 
this amount, $43,790,436,000 is for discretionary programs.

                                Overview

    In February 2010, the Department of Homeland Security 
released its Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, a Strategic 
Framework for a Secure Homeland. The Review lays out a strategy 
that details five core missions for the Department: Preventing 
Terrorism and Enhancing Security; Securing and Managing Our 
Borders; Enforcing and Administering Our Immigration Laws; 
Safeguarding and Securing Cyberspace; and Ensuring Resilience 
to Disasters.
    In accomplishing these missions, the Department seeks to 
mature and strengthen homeland security in all levels of 
government, the private sector, and our citizenry. It is 
critical that the Nation develop and maintain a constant, 
capable, and vigilant posture to protect ourselves against 
existing and evolving threats.
    As evidenced by the arrests of Nidal Hasan (Ft. Hood), 
Faisal Shazad (Times Square), and Najibullah Zazi (New York 
City subway), the threat of homegrown terrorism is on the rise. 
At the same time, the terrorist threat from overseas continues 
(the December 25, 2009, bombing attempt), and potential new 
threats evolve (cybersecurity, radiological/nuclear, and 
biological).
    While addressing these threats, the Department of Homeland 
Security must continue to effectively execute its other core 
missions, including:
  --Preventing, responding to, and recovering from man-made and 
        natural disasters--49 Presidentially declared disasters 
        in 27 States in only the first 6 months of 2010;
  --The Coast Guard mission continues to grow--last year, 4,747 
        lives saved; 353,000 pounds of cocaine and 71,000 
        pounds of marijuana seized; 3,700 undocumented migrants 
        interdicted; 248,000 ships and 62 million crew and 
        passengers screened; 400 individuals with terrorist 
        associations identified and investigated; 3,600 
        pollution incidents responded to; and now, coordinating 
        the response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico;
  --Customs and Border Protection has increased the number of 
        Southwest border miles under effective control from 241 
        to 700--and last year apprehended 556,000 illegal 
        aliens, processed 360 million people and 109 million 
        vehicles at the border, and processed 25 million trade 
        entries;
  --Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed 387,000 illegal 
        aliens last year, detained or removed 101,000 criminal 
        aliens, made 1,100 criminal arrests, and seized 4,000 
        pounds of cocaine, 74,000 pounds of marijuana, 
        $41,000,000 of bulk currency, and $13,000,000 of 
        counterfeit currency;
  --The US-VISIT program has prevented 8,800 criminal and 
        illegal aliens from entering the country with its 
        biometric system;
  --The Secret Service protects the President, the Vice 
        President and their families, and other mandated 
        protectees, and prevented the loss of over $1.8 billion 
        as a result of their investigations into financial 
        crimes.
    In 2002, the Department was established by consolidating 22 
agencies from over 8 departments and major agencies. The 
transition to the new Department was difficult, with inadequate 
capacity for procurement, information technology, financial 
management and human resource development. Capacity to 
eliminate stovepipes and share information was limited. Many of 
the agencies transferred to the Department came with aging 
ships, planes, helicopters, information technology, financial 
systems, and other assets, not capable of responding to an 
evolving threat.
    In its eighth year, it is time for the Department to 
transition from growing pains to maturity. Since 2003, 
Congress, on a bipartisan basis, has increased funding for 
border security, chemical security, maritime and port security, 
rail security, transit security, aviation security and cyber 
security. Congress has also provided resources for our State 
and local partners to equip and train our first responders.
    These investments have paid off, making our Nation more 
secure and making us better prepared for any disaster. The 
Quadrennial Homeland Security Review provides a strategic 
framework for progress, but we have much more work to do.

                   IMMEDIATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

    The Committee recommends $5,427,000 for the Immediate 
Office of the Secretary, an increase of $366,000 above the 
fiscal year 2010 level and the same as the budget request.
    In order to facilitate the ability to place Federal Air 
Marshals [FAMs] on international flights to the United States 
that may be carrying ``selectees'', the Secretary is strongly 
encouraged to negotiate with the relevant foreign governments 
to permit rapid FAM deployments to and from such countries. 
Additionally, the Secretary is encouraged to negotiate, in 
consultation with the Secretary of State, with the relevant 
governments an expansion of the presence of U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection [CBP] and U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement [ICE] personnel associated with the Immigration 
Advisory Program and the Visa Security Program.

                IMMEDIATE OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY SECRETARY

    The Committee recommends $1,974,000 for the Immediate 
Office of the Deputy Secretary, an increase of $164,000 above 
the fiscal year 2010 level and the same as the budget request.
    The Committee understands that the Office of Infrastructure 
Protection, the Coast Guard, and the Transportation Security 
Administration are working together to coordinate chemical 
security responsibilities established by the Chemical 
Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standards regulations, the Maritime 
Transportation Security Act of 2002, and railroad security 
regulations. The Committee directs the Deputy Secretary to 
coordinate efforts and to work with the White House Office of 
Domestic Policy to develop a coordinated and integrated 
approach for securing chemical facilities. Further, the 
Department shall ensure that companies cannot misuse 
information security regulations to improperly delay or impede 
Federal safety investigations following chemical accidents.
    The Committee did not receive the required reports pursuant 
to the fiscal year 2010 Conference Report 111-298 and continues 
the requirement for the Deputy Secretary to provide a report to 
the Committee no later than 90 days after the date of enactment 
of this act, and quarterly thereafter, on the agency's efforts 
to coordinate chemical security across departments, 
particularly in regard to ensuring the ability to conduct 
prompt and comprehensive Federal safety investigations of 
chemical accidents. Further, to ensure expeditious attention to 
this matter, the Deputy Secretary is directed to brief the 
Committee on the milestones established for a coordinated 
effort.
    In an effort to significantly improve the security of our 
border, since fiscal year 2006, CBP has hired more than 15,700 
new employees, a 37 percent increase, and ICE has hired over 
8,200 new personnel, a 31 percent increase. The Committee 
believes it is critical that all Federal law enforcement 
personnel, especially new hires, receive comprehensive training 
in ethics and public integrity.
    In recent years, in anticipation of the potential for the 
growth of allegations of misconduct, the Committee has 
increased funding for integrity programs. However, the 
Committee understands the Office of Inspector General [OIG], 
ICE, and CBP are experiencing difficulties working together to 
tackle this important issue because of an apparent lack of 
clear lines of authority regarding which entity conducts 
differing types of investigations and when they occur. The 
Committee was troubled to read a December 16, 2009, DHS memo 
and a Washington Post article on March 30, 2010, that detailed 
turf battles between the OIG, CBP, and ICE which resulted in 
delayed corruption probes. It appears to the Committee that 
there is confusion between the OIG, CBP, and ICE on who does 
what and which organization takes the lead when investigating 
corruption cases.
    The Committee directs the Deputy Secretary to examine the 
issue of which entity should coordinate and take the lead on 
integrity investigations and establish clear lines of authority 
for each entity for the different types of investigations. The 
Committee directs that the Deputy Secretary provide a report to 
the Committees on Appropriations on this issue no later than 90 
days after the date of enactment of this act.
    The Committee notes that report language on this issue also 
is included in the OIG, CBP, and ICE sections of this report.

                      OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF

    The Committee recommends $3,500,000 for the Office of the 
Chief of Staff, an increase of $905,000 above the fiscal year 
2010 level and $158,000 below the budget request.

                 OFFICE OF COUNTERNARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee recommends $3,612,000 for the Office of 
Counternarcotics Enforcement [CNE], the same as the fiscal year 
2010 level and $260,000 less than the budget request. Given 
that CNE let lapse a moderate level of funding in fiscal year 
2009 and a slow obligation rate continues in fiscal year 2010, 
the increase requested is not justified.
    CNE is to brief the Committee no later than 60 days after 
the date of enactment of this act on its efforts to address the 
recommendations made in the DHS OIG report (OIG-10-80), which 
identifies deficiencies in the CNE's ability to meet its 
statutory responsibilities.
    Finally, the joint explanatory statement accompanying the 
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, 
required the Secretary to report on whether it would be 
appropriate to shift the functions of this office into the 
Office of Policy or other departmental office under this title. 
While the Committee continues to have concerns with the 
contribution of the CNE to the Department's mission, both the 
Secretary and DHS IG recommend that it remain as a stand-alone 
entity within the Office of the Secretary.

                   OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY

    The Committee recommends $8,467,000 for the Office of the 
Executive Secretary, an increase of $667,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 level and $500,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee supports the budget proposal to strengthen the 
Secretary's efficiency review efforts but does not provide the 
full request due to anticipated savings from unfilled positions 
in this office.

                            OFFICE OF POLICY

    The Committee recommends $46,527,000 for the Office of 
Policy, $5,037,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and 
$3,280,000 below the budget request. The reduction from the 
request reflects funds no longer necessary for office space 
modifications.
    The bill includes language providing $20,000 from amounts 
available for the Secretary's reception and representation 
expenses to the Office of Policy to host Visa Waiver Program 
negotiations in Washington, DC.
    The Committee directs the Office of Policy to submit an 
expenditure plan for fiscal year 2011 no later than 60 days 
after the date of enactment of this act. The plan shall be 
submitted in the same format as the fiscal year 2010 plan.
    The Committee is to be briefed no later than 90 days after 
the date of enactment of this act on the Global Supply Chain 
Security and Air Domain Awareness initiatives.

                        OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS

    The Committee recommends $6,446,000 for the Office of 
Public Affairs [OPA], an increase of $455,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 level and $579,000 below the budget request. The 
recommendation includes funds for the lease of space, build-
out, and furniture for the National Joint Information Center 
[NJIC]. The NJIC supports the Secretary's HSPD-5 role to 
coordinate interagency communications during major incidents. 
The recommendation does not include funds for additional 
operational support for the Office. Base funds are adequate to 
meet these costs due to the delay in filling funded positions 
within this office. The Committee reminds OPA that 
reprogramming requests should be submitted only in the case of 
an unforeseeable emergency or situation that could not have 
been predicted when formulating the budget request for the 
current fiscal year. The Committee is displeased that OPA 
continues to submit reprogramming requests for general 
operations. Therefore, the Committee expects the Office to 
develop a plan for operating for the full fiscal year at this 
level without a reprogramming request.

                     OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS

    The Committee recommends $7,011,000 for the Office of 
Legislative Affairs, an increase of $214,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 level and $189,000 below the budget request. The 
recommendation does not include the full request for additional 
operational support.

                  OFFICE OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS

    The Committee recommends $3,519,000 for the Office of 
Intergovernmental Affairs, an increase of $719,000 above the 
fiscal year 2010 level and $688,000 below budget request.
    The Committee supports efforts to hire additional personnel 
to strengthen the Office's ability to improve coordination and 
communication across its stakeholder community. Funds are 
provided for an additional 10 positions and 5 FTE. The 
recommendation includes half of the requested increase for FTE. 
This is a more realistic approach given the Department's 
regrettably lengthy hiring process.

                     OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL

    The Committee recommends $24,363,000 for the Office of the 
General Counsel, a $335,000 increase above the fiscal year 2010 
level and the same as the budget request.

              OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES

    The Committee recommends $23,956,000 for the Office for 
Civil Rights and Civil Liberties [CRCL], an increase of 
$2,852,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level and $603,000 less 
than the budget request. The Committee recommendation provides 
for the annualization of FTE funded in fiscal year 2010 for 
expansion of the Department's Equal Employment Opportunity 
program, reviews of State and local fusion centers, additional 
training, complaint investigations, and other DHS-wide civil 
rights and civil liberties issues. The Committee supports 
efforts to hire additional program analysts to support 
intelligence product reviews and training for DHS employees. An 
additional six positions are provided for this effort. However, 
given the Department's regrettably lengthy hiring process, the 
recommendation includes half of the requested increase for FTE.
    The Committee directs the Office to submit an expenditure 
plan no later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this 
act. The plan is to be submitted in the same format as the 
fiscal year 2010 plan and include additional information on the 
results of efforts to expand the Civil Liberties Institute, 
automate diversity management data and reports, establish a 
centralized redress governance structure, and intelligence 
product reviews. The plan shall include a discussion of the 
instances when CRCL or the Privacy Office did not concur with 
the release of any intelligence product and the nonconcurrence 
was elevated for review by the Deputy Secretary.

             CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES OMBUDSMAN

    The Committee recommends $6,685,000 for the Citizenship and 
Immigration Services Ombudsman, the same as the fiscal year 
2010 level and $179,000 below the budget request. The 
recommended amount funds the continued implementation of the 
Virtual Ombudsman System [VOS], the expected workload increase 
generated by the deployment of the VOS, and other outreach and 
casework related efforts. The Ombudsman shall brief the 
Committee no later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on the progress made in implementing the VOS and 
related workload requirements.
    Funds are decreased below the request due to the delay in 
filling full-time permanent positions within this office.

                             PRIVACY OFFICE

    The Committee recommends $9,118,000 for the Privacy Office, 
an increase of $1,147,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level and 
the same as the budget request. The additional funding is to 
enhance privacy training for DHS and State and local fusion 
center employees.

                    SURFACE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY

    The Committee is concerned about the lack of attention 
given to surface transportation security by the Department. The 
Department is long overdue in providing to Congress a number of 
requirements mandated in the 9/11 Act, including a 
comprehensive risk assessment for railroad transportation 
security. The GAO released a critical report (GAO-09-678) on 
Mass Transit and Passenger Rail Security on June 24, 2009. GAO 
stated:

``To ensure that TSA's efforts best prioritize and address 
risks, TSA should conduct a risk assessment for the mass 
transit and passenger rail systems that combines the results of 
threat, vulnerability, and consequence assessments. Until the 
overall risk to the entire system is identified through such an 
assessment, TSA cannot best determine how and where to target 
its limited resources to achieve the greatest security.''.

    The Committee withholds $50,000,000 from the ``Office of 
the Secretary and Executive Management'' appropriation until 
the Secretary submits: a comprehensive risk assessment and 
national security strategy for the railroad sector as required 
by the 9/11 Act; a detailed timeline for meeting all remaining 
congressional requirements for surface transportation security 
included in the 9/11 Act; and a comprehensive plan on how the 
Department will meet the recommendations outlined in the 
Surface Transportation Security Priority Assessment by the 
National Security Council.
    Without regard to the withholding, supporting documentation 
explaining how comprehensive risk assessments for all 
transportation modes were used to allocate resources across and 
within each mode in the President's fiscal year 2012 budget 
request is to be submitted to the Committee no later than 
February 7, 2011.

                   BIOMETRIC AIR EXIT IMPLEMENTATION

    The Committee includes language in the bill withholding 
$25,000,000 from obligation from the ``Office of the Secretary 
and Executive Management'' appropriation until the Department 
of Homeland Security submits a comprehensive plan to implement 
a biometric air exit capability in fiscal year 2011.

                         BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

    For fiscal year 2012, the Committee directs that the 
congressional budget justifications for the Office of the 
Secretary and Executive Management include the same level of 
detail as the table contained in the back of the Committee 
report. All funding and staffing changes for each individual 
office must be highlighted and explained. The Committee expects 
this level of detail to include separate discussions for 
personnel, compensation, and benefits; travel; training; other 
services; and the Working Capital Fund [WCF]. Enacted FTE 
numbers included in the documents for fiscal year 2011 shall 
accurately reflect the FTE levels funded in this act.

                 RECEPTION AND REPRESENTATION EXPENSES

    Within the total amount recommended for the Office of the 
Secretary and Executive Management, the recommendation includes 
up to $60,000 for reception and representation expenses, the 
same level as fiscal year 2010 and the budget request. The 
Department is to continue to submit quarterly reports to the 
Committee detailing the obligation of these funds by purpose 
and dollar amount.

                            DETAILEE REPORT

    The Committee requires the Department to continue to report 
on detailees, but changes this from a quarterly to a semi-
annual requirement, due April 29, 2011 and October 31, 2011. 
These reports shall be drafted in accordance with the revised 
guidance set forth in Senate Report 110-84.

           FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTERS

    The Department is directed to report semi-annually on the 
current projects tasked to federally funded research and 
development centers, the funding obligated by component, 
including the purposes for the funds, and any projects 
completed in the prior 6-month period, with the first report 
due February 15, 2011. The Committee has yet to receive a 
report for fiscal year 2010 pursuant to the requirement in 
Conference Report 111-298. This report is to be submitted 
promptly.

                     SMALL VESSEL SECURITY STRATEGY

    The Department released its small vessel security strategy 
on April 28, 2008. Over 2 years later, an implementation plan 
to carry out the strategy has not been completed and the fiscal 
year 2011 budget proposes cuts in related programs. The 
Committee expects this plan to be completed and submitted to 
Congress expeditiously, including resource requirements to 
execute the plan.

            SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DIRECTORATE CAPABILITIES

    Significant progress has been made in the last 2 years by 
the Science and Technology [S&T] Directorate in unifying the 
Department's test and evaluation [T&E] processes, particularly 
in large acquisition programs. The Committee encourages the 
Secretary to continue to improve the Department's T&E 
capabilities, policies, and procedures. The Department's 
acquisition process would also benefit from the early 
involvement of the S&T Directorate and the Department's 
federally funded research and development centers in assisting 
departmental entities to better identify mission needs, conduct 
analysis of alternatives that could result in a material 
solution determination, and develop operational requirements 
including concepts of operations.

                      DISTRIBUTION OF GRANT AWARDS

    Americans are not made safer when appropriated funds sit in 
the Treasury. Therefore, as in previous fiscal years, the 
Committee again includes statutory timeframes by which 
appropriated grant funding must be made available and 
distributed to State and local partners. While departmental 
compliance with the timeframes has varied from year to year, 
fiscal year 2010 awards were delivered within the statutory 
timeframe. It is imperative that FEMA and the Department work 
with their State and local partners to eliminate bureaucratic 
hurdles that impede the ability to expeditiously address known 
risks. The Committee expects FEMA and the Department will 
comply with the law to ensure grant funds are distributed in a 
timely manner.

                U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS RESOURCE ASSESSMENT

    The Assistant Secretary for Policy shall brief the 
Committee no later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on the current level of DHS resources, by component, 
in the U.S. Virgin Islands [USVI] and an assessment of the need 
for additional resources, by component, to be stationed there 
permanently based on threat and workload requirements. This 
assessment should include a review of DHS components with no 
presence currently in the USVI.

                          BORDER TUNNEL REPORT

    As outlined in Senate Report 111-31, the Department of 
Homeland Security is required to submit semiannual reports on 
border tunnel issues, including information on the number of 
tunnels discovered, their location and demolition, all 
activities undertaken to prosecute individuals under the Border 
Tunnel Prevention Act, funding requirements, and the progress 
made in developing and implementing detection methods used to 
discover new tunnels. The report is long overdue. Given the 
fact there has been increased physical reinforcing of the 
Southwest border, more tunnels built to smuggle various types 
of contraband are being discovered under the border. The 
Committee directs that this report be submitted immediately.

              Office of the Under Secretary for Management

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $254,190,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     242,733,000

specific activities funded by this account include the 
Immediate Office of the Under Secretary for Management, the 
Office of the Chief Security Officer, the Office of the Chief 
Procurement Officer, the Office of the Chief Human Capital 
Officer, and the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $239,933,000 for the Office of the 
Under Secretary for Management.
    The specific levels recommended by the Committee, as

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

         IMMEDIATE OFFICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR MANAGEMENT

    The Committee recommends $2,770,000 for the Immediate 
Office of the Under Secretary, $94,000 less than the fiscal 
year 2010 level and the same as the budget request. The 
recommendation includes requested adjustments of $34,000 for 
pay inflation and a reduction of $128,000 due to a decrease in 
contractor support.

                           OFFICE OF SECURITY

    The Committee recommends $72,864,000 for the Office of 
Security, a decrease of $17,329,000 from the fiscal year 2010 
level and the same as the budget request. This recommendation 
includes adjustments of: $2,248,000 to annualize 14 FTE funded 
in fiscal year 2010 to improve oversight of sensitive 
compartmentalized information and the timeliness of processing 
background investigations; $294,000 in pay related adjustments; 
and a reduction of $20,000,000 associated with the HSPD-12 Card 
Issuance Program. According to information provided by the 
Department, sufficient base funding will be available for 
fiscal year 2011 to continue deployment and maintenance of 
HSPD-12 cards. An update on progress made in issuing new 
identity cards and associated costs shall be discussed when the 
Office of Security briefs the Committee on its fiscal year 2012 
budget request. Finally, the Committee supports the Office of 
Security's efforts to reduce its reliance on contractors 
through the planned conversion of 72 positions to Federal FTE.

                OFFICE OF THE CHIEF PROCUREMENT OFFICER

    The Committee recommends $75,527,000 for the Office of the 
Chief Procurement Officer [OCPO], an increase of $6,989,000 
above the fiscal year 2010 level and the same as the budget 
request. This increase includes requested adjustments of 100 
positions and $10,314,000 for annualizations and pay inflation. 
It also includes the requested savings of $1,846,000 through 
the conversion of contractor positions to Federal FTE. The 
Committee does not agree with the reduction of $1,479,000 
proposed for the acquisition workforce centralized training 
program. The request proposes to scale back this program, which 
benefits the entire acquisition workforce across all 
Departmental components. Due to the delay in filling full-time 
permanent positions within this office, sufficient funds are 
available to maintain this program at an appropriate level.

                FEDERAL ACQUISITION WORKFORCE INITIATIVE

    The Committee provides $18,000,000 above the fiscal year 
2010 level, $6,235,700 below the request, to increase the 
Department's acquisition workforce capacity and capabilities. 
As requested, this initiative is included as a general 
provision. The Department, like many other Federal agencies, is 
plagued by a lack of qualified acquisition professionals to 
develop, manage, and oversee acquisition programs 
appropriately. The Committee has been highly critical of the 
performance of many DHS acquisition programs and has 
aggressively funded additional FTE to bolster procurement 
oversight within the OCPO and in the components. The Committee 
agrees that more needs to be accomplished, but is disappointed 
that such a large increase was requested with little 
justification on the categories of acquisition personnel needed 
and which components require the most help. The Committee 
understands that the OCPO is conducting a Department-wide 
assessment to determine gaps in key acquisition disciplines. 
The Committee expects the OCPO to brief the Committee on the 
results of this study no later than 60 days after this 
assessment has been completed. The briefing shall include the 
planned distribution of the 150 positions by office. A 
reduction is made to the request to reflect a more realistic 
hiring schedule. The Committee expects that sustained funding 
will be provided in the Department's fiscal year 2012 budget 
request.

           ACQUISITION PROFESSIONAL CAREER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

    The Committee directs the OCPO to submit, in conjunction 
with the President's fiscal year 2012 budget request, a report 
on the Acquisition Professional Internship Program as detailed 
in House Report 111-157.

                       ACQUISITION REVIEW PROCESS

    The Committee continues the quarterly reporting requirement 
on major acquisitions for fiscal year 2011, with the same 
requirements as outlined in Senate Report 111-31. The OCPO is 
delinquent in submitting these reports for fiscal year 2010.

                      NONCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENTS

    In response to a statutory requirement contained in the 
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2009 
(Public Law 110-329), the Office of the Inspector General [OIG] 
reviewed selected DHS contracts awarded through less than full 
and open competition during fiscal year 2008 to determine 
compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The report 
stated the following:

``Based on our review of 39 contract files with a reported 
value of more than $72,000,000, acquisition personnel did not 
always follow Federal regulations when awarding noncompetitive 
contracts. Award files did not always contain sufficient 
evidence of market research or adequate acquisition planning. 
As a result, the department cannot ensure that it received the 
best possible value on these acquired goods and services.''.

    The OCPO has already complied with one recommendation 
related to market research. However, in response to the OIG's 
recommendation to strengthen its oversight process of 
noncompetitive procurements, the OCPO agreed with the intent 
but believes it has taken sufficient action to strengthen its 
oversight program. According to OCPO comments, a special review 
of noncompetitive contracts was recently completed to determine 
compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations and an 
additional follow-up review will be completed during the first 
quarter of fiscal year 2011. When the OCPO briefs the Committee 
on its fiscal year 2012 budget request, results from these 
reviews, as well as any subsequent actions taken, shall be 
provided.

                     POORLY PERFORMING CONTRACTORS

    The Committee is aware of actions being taken by the 
Department to enhance its suspension and debarment program for 
poorly performing contractors. In February 2010, the OIG 
reported on the Department's deficiencies in this area. When 
the OCPO briefs the Committee on its fiscal year 2012 budget 
request, an update shall be provided on the progress made to 
strengthen this program, including compliance by the 
components.

               OFFICE OF THE CHIEF HUMAN CAPITAL OFFICER

    The Committee recommends $39,130,000 for the Office of the 
Chief Human Capital Officer [OCHCO], $3,474,000 below the 
fiscal year 2010 level and $3,000,000 below the request. The 
recommendation includes: requested adjustments to maintain 
current services; funding for 133 FTE, as requested; and 
requested savings of $1,150,000 through the conversion of 15 
contractor positions to Federal FTE. The recommendation 
provides $14,131,000 for the Human Resources Information 
Technology program instead of $17,131,000 requested. This 
reduction reflects the OCHCO's decision to terminate 
TALENTLink, the Department-wide automated recruiting and 
staffing system, because it did not meet Federal standards. If 
a follow-on system is selected, the OCHCO shall use funds 
appropriated in fiscal year 2010 originally slated for 
TALENTLink deployment.
    The Committee understands that the DHS Under Secretary for 
Management, Chief Human Capital Officer, and Chief Information 
Officer are still in the process of developing a strategic plan 
to overhaul the hiring process within the Department. The 
Committee supports these efforts and expects the OCHCO to 
periodically brief the Committee on its progress and how it 
aligns with the Administration's plans to overhaul the Federal 
hiring process.
    In an effort to receive more timely information, the 
Committee requires the OCHCO to provide quarterly briefings 
(instead of monthly reports) summarizing vacancy data at the 
Department. These briefings are to include: the number of new 
hires for each headquarters office in the previous month; the 
ratio of applications received to positions closed; data from 
the Office of Security on progress made to reduce the security 
clearance backlog to include whether the 15-day standard for 
suitability reviews is being met; and an end-of-the-month 
hiring ``snapshot'' for each headquarters office. These 
snapshots should include: the number of new hires pending 
security or suitability clearance; the number of open 
vacancies; and the number of selection referral lists pending 
with management. In addition, the briefings shall provide an 
explanation for hiring delays and steps being taken or planned 
to correct the delays. The Office of Security shall contribute 
to this briefing by including progress made to reduce the 
security clearance backlog and whether the 15-day standard for 
suitability reviews is being met.
    The first quarterly briefing shall also include the results 
of the fiscal year 2010 performance metrics established by DHS 
for the OCHCO.
    A general provision is included in the bill prohibiting the 
use of funds for the development, testing, deployment, or 
operation of any portion of a human resources management system 
authorized by 5 U.S.C. 9701(a), or by regulations prescribed 
pursuant to such section, for an ``employee'' as defined in 5 
U.S.C. 7103(a)(2).

                      OVER-RELIANCE ON CONTRACTORS

    The Committee supports the Department's efforts to convert 
contractor positions to Federal jobs through its Balanced 
Workforce Initiative. The fiscal year 2011 request proposes to 
convert 1,402 positions with an associated savings of nearly 
$82,000,000. This follows 1,801 conversions in fiscal year 2010 
and 236 in fiscal year 2009. These conversions, however, 
represent only a small fraction of the estimated 210,000 
contractors providing services in support of the Department's 
various programs and organizations. Many of the services 
provided by contractors are likely to be closely related to 
inherently governmental functions. An OCHCO-managed program 
office has been established to lead the Department's balanced 
workforce efforts. In fiscal year 2010, a Department-wide 
assessment is being conducted to identify additional contractor 
positions that should be appropriately converted to Federal 
jobs. The Committee directs the Undersecretary for Management 
and Chief Human Capital Officer to brief the Committee no later 
than September 10, 2010, on the findings of this review, 
implementation plans, and associated savings.

               OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

    The Committee recommends $44,642,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses of the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer 
[OCAO], an increase of $151,000 above the fiscal year 2010 
level and $700,000 above the budget request. The Committee 
finds it puzzling that the request would cut or eliminate vital 
programs related to environmental planning, historic 
preservation, and internal controls. There is no compelling 
basis included in the congressional justification to warrant 
these reductions. Therefore, funding above the request is 
provided to maintain these programs at appropriate levels in 
fiscal year 2011. The OCAO shall provide an update on how these 
programs are being sustained when it briefs the Committee on 
its fiscal year 2012 budget request.
    Further, the fiscal year 2012 budget request shall include 
an update on the electronic management records system 
deployment plan, including: the results of the fiscal year 2010 
pilot; status of implementation to headquarters components; and 
plans to mitigate delays in this program.
    The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for continued 
facilities maintenance and upgrades at the Nebraska Avenue 
Complex [NAC], $500,000 below the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels. This funding allows for: the completion of the 
perimeter improvement project and the medium voltage project; 
mechanical, electrical, and physical security upgrades for NAC 
3; remediation of Americans with Disabilities Act compliance 
issues; and other activities. The Committee is concerned with 
the unexpended balance of approximately $41,000,000 in this 
account.

                   GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM BACK-UP

    The Committee is aware that the Department is in the 
process of conducting an analysis across the Federal Government 
and critical infrastructure and key resources sectors to 
determine if there is a need for a nationwide, systemic backup 
to the Global Positioning System [GPS] and, if so, what that 
backup should be. As a follow-on to this effort, the 
Department, in coordination with the Department of 
Transportation, is to conduct an analysis of alternatives that 
could serve as a backup to GPS. The results of both studies are 
to be provided to the Committee no later than 90 days after the 
date of enactment of this act.

                    MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION STRATEGY

    The Committee directs the Department to submit the 
comprehensive management integration strategy as mandated by 
Congress in the 9/11 Act within 90 days after the date of 
enactment of this act. The strategy should include the 
characteristics identified by the Government Accountability 
Office [GAO], including expected outcomes for the management 
integration initiatives, along with performance measures and 
milestones to assess the Department's progress in implementing 
and achieving management integration both within and across the 
lines of business throughout the Department. In addition, the 
strategy should identify how management integration supports 
the Department's transformation and how the strategy links to 
the Department's other plans and efforts to address GAO's 
designation of DHS transformation and implementation as high 
risk.

                 Office of the Chief Financial Officer

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $60,530,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      65,552,000
Committee recommendation................................      64,480,000

    The Office of the Chief Financial Officer is responsible 
for the fiscal management and financial accountability of the 
Department of Homeland Security. The Office of the Chief 
Financial Officer provides guidance and oversight of the 
Department's budget execution while ensuring that funds are 
allocated and expended in accordance with relevant laws and 
policies. This account funds the Budget Division, Office of 
Financial Operations, Office of Performance Analysis and 
Evaluation, Office of Financial Management, Resource Management 
Transition Office, and the Office of the Government 
Accountability Office/Office of Inspector General Audit 
Liaison.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $64,480,000 for the Office of the 
Chief Financial Officer [OCFO], an increase of $3,950,000 above 
the fiscal year 2010 level and $1,072,000 less than the budget 
request. The recommendation includes adjustments to maintain 
current services and programmatic increases of $1,200,000 for 
enhanced financial and accounting oversight as requested, and 
$1,000,000 to conduct independent program assessments. The OCFO 
shall periodically brief the Committee on outcomes of the 
selected studies and their impact on resource decisions. The 
Committee understands a review of the Coast Guard's Deepwater 
cutter fleet recapitalization program is being conducted by the 
Office of the Chief Financial Officer's Program Analysis and 
Evaluation Division [PA&E]. PA&E shall brief the Committee on 
this effort no later than 90 days after the date of enactment 
of this act.
    The Committee expects the OCFO to continue working with the 
Coast Guard on its efforts to remediate gaps in its core 
accounting systems.
    Finally, the Committee supports the OCFO's initiative to 
reduce its reliance on contractors through the planned 
conversion of 38 positions to Federal FTE.

                TRANSFORMATION AND SYSTEMS CONSOLIDATION

    Within the OCFO appropriation, the Committee recommendation 
includes $17,800,000 to support the Department's effort to 
migrate component financial systems to a shared software 
baseline known as the Transformation and Systems Consolidation 
[TASC]. This effort will consolidate 13 separate DHS financial 
management systems and integrate end-to-end business processes 
in support of financial, acquisition, and asset management. 
According to the Department's business case analysis, 
``significant cost savings will be realized over a 10-year life 
cycle when considering the lower operations and maintenance 
costs for a centralized and integrated solution.'' The 
Committee expects a full migration plan to be submitted to the 
Committee no later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this act. The Committee also expects TASC to be capable of 
tracking obligations by the programs, projects, and activities 
detailed in the funding table at the end of this report. The 
OCFO shall brief the Committee on the feasibility of outfitting 
current systems with this capability on an interim basis until 
TASC is fully operational.

                  ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS JUSTIFICATIONS

    The Committee directs the OCFO to ensure annual 
appropriations justifications are prepared for each component 
within the Department in support of the President's budget, as 
required under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, 
and submitted on the day the President's budget is delivered to 
Congress. The OCFO also is directed to include detailed 
information by appropriations account, program, project, and 
activity, on all reimbursable agreements, and significant uses 
of the Economy Act for each fiscal year. Additionally, the OCFO 
shall ensure that the congressional justifications for the 
Department accompanying the President's fiscal year 2012 budget 
request include a status report of overdue Committee reports, 
plans, and other directives. One standard format shall be used 
by all offices and agencies and inserted in the justifications 
reflecting the status of congressional directives for each of 
fiscal years 2009 through 2011.
    The OCFO is directed to include in the Department's 
Explanation of Changes to general provisions the text of all 
Department appropriations provisions enacted to date that are 
permanent.

                  BUDGET EXECUTION AND STAFFING REPORT

    The Committee includes bill language requiring the 
Department to continue submitting to the Committees on 
Appropriations a monthly budget execution report showing the 
status of obligations and costs for all components of the 
Department and on-board staffing levels (Federal employees and 
contractors). The report shall include the total obligational 
authority appropriated (new budget authority plus unobligated 
carryover), undistributed obligational authority, amount 
allotted, current year obligations, unobligated authority (the 
difference between total obligational authority and current 
year obligations), beginning unexpended obligations, year-to-
date costs, and ending unexpended obligations. This budget 
execution information is to be provided at the level of detail 
shown in the tables displayed at the end of this report for 
each departmental component, the Working Capital Fund, and all 
other DHS no-year accounts which have outstanding balances. 
This report shall be submitted no later than 45 days after the 
close of each month.

                           EXPENDITURE PLANS

    The Committee continues requiring expenditure plans for 
specific DHS programs. These plans are intended to provide 
Congress with information to effectively oversee a particular 
program and hold the Department accountable for program 
results. Expenditure plans required by the Committee shall 
include, at a minimum: a description of how the plan satisfies 
any relevant legislative conditions for the expenditure plan; 
planned capabilities and benefits; cost and schedule 
commitments; measures of progress against commitments made in 
previous plans; how the program is being managed to provide 
reasonable assurance that the promised program capabilities, 
benefits, and cost and schedule commitments will be achieved; 
historical funding for the program if applicable; and an 
obligation and outlay schedule.
    The Department continues to be delinquent in submitting 
expenditure plans within the timeframes specified by the 
Committee. These plans serve two vital purposes. First, the 
requirement for an expenditure plan instills fiscal discipline 
within the Department and the relevant component by ensuring 
the development of a comprehensive strategy for the expenditure 
of funds early in the fiscal year that will then be followed 
throughout the year. Second, it provides timely information to 
the Committee as it makes important resource allocation 
decisions. By consistently delaying the submission of these 
expenditure plans, for over half of the fiscal year in some 
cases, the Department fails to meet either goal. These include 
plans for the Office of Policy, Office of the Chief Information 
Officer, Intelligence and Analysis, U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 
Transportation Security Administration, National Protection and 
Programs Directorate, US-VISIT, and the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency. For many components, the Committee is 
withholding significant funding from obligation in fiscal year 
2011 to encourage timely submissions of expenditure plans, 
which are necessary for effective budget execution and robust 
and informed oversight.

                     OVERDUE QUARTERLY SBI REPORTS

    In addition to delayed expenditure plans, there are a 
number of regular reports that the Committees have required be 
submitted, in some cases for many years. For instance, the 
Committees have required quarterly submission of a report which 
in essence is a compilation of border security-related facts--
such as apprehensions at the border, number of illegal aliens 
removed, and miles of the border under effective control. The 
report is a snapshot of what the Department and its component 
agencies have accomplished during the previous quarter and the 
past years. The report is not supposed to be a press document 
requiring extensive narrative and/or ``spin''. Yet the fourth 
quarter of fiscal year 2009 report was not submitted to the 
Committees until March 26, 2010--almost 6 months after the end 
of the fiscal year. The Committees have yet to receive the 
first and second quarter reports for fiscal year 2010. This is 
unacceptable. The Committee directs the Department to submit 
these reports no later than 30 days after the end of each 
quarter.

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

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The Committee recommendation includes $82,727,000, as 
requested, to provide oversight of technology management, 
shared services, and acquisition strategy for the Department. 
Funding is included, as requested, to support the Office of 
Accessible Systems and Technology.

                            EXPENDITURE PLAN

    The Committee includes bill language requiring an 
expenditure plan be submitted to the Committees on 
Appropriations within 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this act. Given the consistent months-long delays experienced 
each year in meeting this requirement, the Committee withholds 
$75,000,000 from obligation from funds made available to the 
OCIO until the submission of the required expenditure plan.

                    INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

    The Committee recommendation includes $56,079,000 for 
Information Technology Services, as requested in the budget. 
Consistent with the request, the recommended amount includes: a 
$5,000,000 increase for enterprise systems delivery, to 
consolidate six legacy component web 2.0 infrastructures onto 
the DHS Web 2.0 infrastructure in both DHS data centers; and a 
$7,609,000 increase for enterprise data management to establish 
procedures and practices across the components to lower 
development costs and decrease operations and maintenance 
costs.

                 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SECURITY ACTIVITIES

    The Committee recommendation includes $181,644,000 for 
Infrastructure and Security Activities, $4,000,000 below the 
amount requested in the budget. The recommended amount 
includes: a $12,268,000 increase, as requested, to continue 
development of a single sign-on capability; and a $16,000,000 
increase, $4,000,000 below the request, to consolidate 
component messaging systems into the two DHS data centers. The 
Committee supports these investments, which are necessary to 
ensure that a mature infrastructure is in place that meets the 
Department's needs. The reduction reflects migration amounts 
that will not be obligated in fiscal year 2011. The Department 
is directed to provide quarterly briefings to the Committee on 
the progress of these initiatives, as well as OneNet 
implementation and migration to Networx.

                       NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommendation includes $62,009,000 for 
Infrastructure and Security Activities, $12,000,000 below the 
amount requested in the budget. The recommendation approves the 
creation of this new PPA, as requested, which includes the 
homeland secure data network, the realignment of communications 
security from the ``information technology services'' PPA, and 
the development of a top secret/sensitive compartmented 
information [TS/SCI] network. The OCIO schedule to develop the 
TS/SCI network in fiscal year 2011 appears to be overly 
optimistic. The OCIO must still complete its concept of 
operations, conduct an analysis of alternatives, and receive 
Acquistion Project Baseline approval before awarding a 
contract. Therefore, a total of $12,000,000 is provided, 
$4,000,000 below the request to reflect a more realistic 
obligation schedule.

                        DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends not less than $83,948,000 within 
Security Activities for data center development, as requested 
in the budget. This includes not less than $27,730,000, the 
amount identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security to be 
included in the budget request, for infrastructure and power 
upgrades, and facility construction projects at Data Center 
One. The CIO shall continue to provide quarterly briefings to 
the Committees on the progress of data center development and 
migration.

                         DATA CENTER MIGRATION

    In addition to the amount provided to this office for data 
center development and operations and maintenance, the 
Committee provides $87,463,000 specifically to various 
Departmental components for data center migration, for a total 
of $171,411,000. The Committee is aware that component data 
center migration schedules may shift during the course of the 
fiscal year based on changing circumstances and priorities. As 
a result, the bill includes a general provision allowing the 
Secretary to transfer funds made available for data center 
migration, as necessary, among components based on revised 
schedules and priorities with 15 days prior notice to the 
Committees. The OCIO is also directed to include information on 
revised schedules in the quarterly briefings.
    Consistent with section 888 of Public Law 107-296, the 
Committee instructs the Department to implement the 
consolidation plan in a manner that shall not result in a 
reduction to the Coast Guard's Operations Systems Center 
mission or its Government-employed or contract staff levels. A 
general provision is included for this purpose.

                        Analysis and Operations

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $335,030,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     347,930,000
Committee recommendation................................     340,000,000

    The account supports activities to improve the analysis and 
sharing of threat information, including activities of the 
Office of Intelligence and Analysis [I&A] and the Office of 
Operations Coordination.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $340,000,000 for Analysis and 
Operations. This is an increase of $4,970,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 level and a decrease of $7,930,000 from the budget 
request. The details of these recommendations are included in a 
classified annex accompanying this report.

                   DHS INTELLIGENCE EXPENDITURE PLAN

    The Committee requires the Department's Chief Intelligence 
Officer to submit an expenditure plan for fiscal year 2011 no 
later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act.
    The plan shall include the following: (1) fiscal year 2011 
expenditures and staffing allotted for each program as compared 
to fiscal years 2010 and 2009; (2) all funded versus on-board 
positions, including Federal FTE, contractors, and reimbursable 
and nonreimbursable detailees; (3) an explanation for 
maintaining contract staff in lieu of Federal FTE; (4) a plan, 
including dates or timeframes for achieving key milestones, to 
reduce the office's reliance on contract staff in lieu of 
Federal FTE; (5) funding, by object classification, including a 
comparison to fiscal years 2009 and 2008; and (6) the number of 
I&A-funded employees supporting organizations outside I&A and 
within DHS. The expenditure plan shall focus the activities of 
the Office on areas where the Department can provide unique 
expertise or serve intelligence customers who are not supported 
by other components of the Intelligence Community.

                     STATE AND LOCAL FUSION CENTERS

    The Committee directs I&A to brief the Committee quarterly 
on progress in placing DHS intelligence professionals in State 
and local fusion centers [SLFC]. These briefings shall include: 
the qualification criteria used by DHS to decide where and how 
to place DHS intelligence analysts and related technology; 
total Federal expenditures to support each center to date and 
during the most recent quarter of the current fiscal year, in 
the same categorization as materials submitted to the 
Committees on Appropriations on March 23, 2007; the location of 
each fusion center, including identification of those with DHS 
personnel, both operational and planned; the schedule for 
operational stand-up of planned fusion centers and their 
locations; the number of DHS-funded employees located at each 
fusion center, including details on whether the employees are 
contract or Government staff; the privacy protection policies 
of each center, including the number of facility personnel 
trained in Federal privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties 
laws and standards; and the number of local law enforcement 
agents at each center approved or pending approval to receive 
and review classified intelligence information. The Committee 
also expects that performance metrics will be developed to 
judge the success of I&A's SLFC program. These metrics shall be 
presented at the first quarterly briefing.

      Office of the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Rebuilding

Appropriations, 2010....................................      $2,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................................
Committee Recommendation................................................

    The Office of the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast 
Rebuilding was established to further strengthen Federal 
support for the recovery and rebuilding of the gulf coast 
region affected by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee appreciates the support the Office of the 
Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Rebuilding [OFCGCR] provided 
for the States impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In 
fiscal year 2010, $100,000 in unobligated funds from the OFCGCR 
were transferred to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to 
ensure that the successful practices and lessons learned during 
previous disaster recovery efforts, including Hurricanes 
Katrina and Rita, are incorporated in operational guidance for 
use in future disasters.

                      Office of Inspector General

Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................    $113,874,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     129,806,000
Committee recommendation\1\.............................     116,806,000

\1\Excludes $16,000,000 made available from FEMA Disaster Relief.

    This account finances the Office of Inspector General's 
activities, including audits, inspections, investigations, and 
other reviews of programs and operations of the Department of 
Homeland Security to promote economy, efficiency, and 
effectiveness and to prevent and detect fraud, waste, and 
abuse.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $116,806,000 for the Office of 
Inspector General [OIG] for fiscal year 2011, $2,932,000 above 
the fiscal year 2010 level. In addition, the Committee includes 
bill language transferring $16,000,000 needed by the OIG for 
audits and investigations related to disasters from the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency ``Disaster Relief'' account [DRF]. 
The OIG is required to notify the Committee no less than 15 
days prior to all transfers from the DRF. When combined, the 
recommendation exceeds the request by $3,000,000. Included in 
the recommendation are increased resources for integrity 
oversight and investigations.
    The Committee is pleased that the Secretary, pursuant to 
Public Law 110-161, established a direct link to the DHS OIG on 
the DHS Web site. The Committee directs the Secretary to update 
and maintain the Web link.

                          INTEGRITY OVERSIGHT

    Since fiscal year 2006, U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
has hired more than 15,700 new employees, a 37 percent 
increase, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has 
hired over 8,200 new personnel, a 31 percent increase. The 
Committee is concerned due to the rapid hiring in CBP and ICE, 
that there is the potential for increased allegations of 
corruption. To avoid corruption and misconduct it is imperative 
that all agents, especially new hires, receive comprehensive 
training in ethics and public integrity. The OIG provides 
ethics training to all agencies and is in charge of 
investigating all allegations of criminal misconduct throughout 
the Department. It is essential that the OIG, CBP, and ICE work 
jointly and cooperatively to combat corruption. Within the 
total funding recommended, the Committee provides the OIG an 
increase of $3,000,000 for integrity investigations. The 
Committee directs the Inspector General to submit a plan for 
expenditure of these funds no later than 90 days after the date 
of enactment of this act. This plan shall be developed in 
coordination with CBP and ICE.

Appropriations, 2010....................................  $8,064,713,000

Committee recommendation................................   8,290,986,000

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] Salaries and 
Expenses appropriation provides funds for border security, 
immigration, customs, agricultural inspections, regulating and 
facilitating international trade, collecting import duties, and 
enforcing U.S. trade laws. In addition to directly appropriated 
resources, fee collections are available for the operations of 
CBP from the following sources:
    Immigration Inspection User Fee.--CBP collects user fees to 
fund the costs of international inspections activities at 
airports and seaports, as authorized by the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356).
    Immigration Enforcement Fine.--CBP collects fines from 
owners of transportation lines and persons for unauthorized 
landing of aliens, as authorized by the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356).
    Land Border Inspection Fee.--CBP collects fees for 
processing applications for the Dedicated Commuter Lanes 
program, the Automated Permit Ports program, the Canadian 
Border Boat Landing program, and both Canadian and Mexican Non-
Resident Alien Border Crossing Cards, as authorized by the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356).
    Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act [COBRA] 
Fee.--CBP collects fees for inspection services involving 
customs-related functions. The COBRA user fee statutory 
authority (19 U.S.C. 58c) specifies the types of expenses to be 
reimbursed and the order for the reimbursement of these types 
of expenses.
    Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Inspection 
Fee.--CBP receives as a transfer a distribution of agriculture 
inspection fees collected by the United States Department of 
Agriculture. The user fees, as authorized by the Food, 
Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (21 U.S.C. 
136), are charged to offset costs for the services related to 
the importation, entry, or exportation of animals and animal 
products.
    Global Entry User Fee.--CBP collects fees to cover the cost 
of a register traveler program to expedite screening and 
processing of international passengers as authorized under the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, section 565(3)(B).
    Puerto Rico Trust Fund.--Customs duties, taxes, and fees 
collected in Puerto Rico by CBP are deposited in the Puerto 
Rico Trust Fund. After providing for the expenses of 
administering CBP activities in Puerto Rico, the remaining 
amounts are transferred to the Treasurer of Puerto Rico 
pursuant to 48 U.S.C. sections 740 and 795.
    Small Airport User Fee.--The User Fee Airports Program 
authorized under 19 U.S.C. 58b and administered under 19 U.S.C. 
58c(b)(9)(A)(i), authorizes inspection services to be provided 
to participating small airports on a fully reimbursable basis. 
The fees charged under this program are set forth in a 
memorandum of agreement between the small airport facility and 
the agency, and may be adjusted annually as costs and 
requirements change.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $8,290,986,000 for salaries and 
expenses of U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] for fiscal 
year 2011, including $3,274,000 from the Harbor Maintenance 
Trust Fund. The Committee includes bill language making 
available up to $150,000 for payment for rental space for 
preclearance operations and $1,000,000 for payments to 
informants. The Committee also includes bill language placing a 
$35,000 annual limit on overtime paid to any employee, and 
making $1,700,000 available until September 30, 2012, for the 
Global Advanced Passenger Information/Passenger Name Record 
program.

                        LAYERED BORDER SECURITY

    Since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, 
a key philosophy to providing security is to ``push our borders 
out'' as well as the concept of ``layered border security''. 
The Committee is disappointed that the President proposes deep 
cuts in effective programs which accomplish these goals. The 
Committee strongly supports programs which provide this layered 
border security and adds funding above the request for a number 
of these programs. While unable to fully restore the reductions 
to the Container Security Initiative, the Customs-Trade 
Partnership Against Terrorism [C-TPAT], and the Western 
Hemisphere Travel Initiative, the Committee recommends 
$29,900,000 above the request for these programs and requests a 
briefing within 90 days of enactment of this act on how these 
additional funds will be allocated to enhance security as well 
as what steps will be taken to mitigate the impact on security 
of the remaining cuts.
    The Committee recommends an additional $5,200,000 above the 
request to expand the Immigration Advisory Program [IAP] to 
three additional overseas locations. This program stations CBP 
officers at international airports and assists the airlines in 
vetting air passenger manifests to ensure that individuals who 
would not be allowed entry into the United States upon arrival 
are prevented from boarding U.S.-bound aircraft. Given that 
these officers are being provided more information about 
potentially dangerous passengers, expansion of this program 
will help prevent individuals such as the December 25 terrorist 
from ever boarding a plane.
    The Committee has included bill language making $1,700,000 
available until September 30, 2012, for the Global Advanced 
Passenger Information/Passenger Name Record Program.

                      SOUTHWEST BORDER INITIATIVE

    Between fiscal years 2008-2009, Border Patrol apprehensions 
of illegal aliens decreased from 723,800 to 556,000. This 23 
percent reduction is an indication that the combined effect of 
the recession and our bipartisan efforts to secure the border 
are resulting in fewer people attempting to illegally cross the 
border. Over the 5-year period ending in fiscal year 2009, 
Border Patrol apprehensions along the Southwest border 
decreased by 53 percent.
    Similarly, between fiscal years 2008-2009, illegal bulk 
cash seizures rose 14 percent; illegal weapons seizures rose 29 
percent; and illegal drug seizures rose 15 percent.
    There has been an increased level of violence being 
directed at our Border Patrol agents and CBP officers stationed 
at and between our ports of entry. In fiscal year 2008, there 
were 575 assaults on agents and 97 on officers. Those numbers 
jumped in fiscal year 2009 to 1,073 agent assaults and 332 
officer assaults. As of the end of April 2010, there have been 
529 agent assaults and 17 officer assaults. As we have moved to 
further secure the Southwest border, we have increased the cost 
of doing business for the smugglers while also increasing their 
levels of frustration.
    In March 2009, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced 
a major initiative to assist the Mexican Government in 
combating drug cartel violence by deploying additional CBP and 
United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] 
personnel and resources to the Southwest border. Between the 
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-32) and 
the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, 
more than $88,600,000 has been added above the President's 
requests for CBP for Southwest border security, including 
outbound inspections to combat smuggling of guns and bulk cash 
which support the drug cartels.
    To continue this effort, the Committee recommends a total 
of $66,400,000 in various CBP accounts to hire more CBP 
officers and pilots, and procure one additional unmanned aerial 
system [UAS]. With these additional funds, combined with funds 
requested in the President's budget, and those in the inventory 
or awaiting delivery, CBP will have a total of nine UAS to 
patrol our borders.
    Specifically, as detailed later in this report, the 
Committee recommends $20,000,000 to hire no fewer than 80 new 
CBP officers and $10,000,000 to hire the 62 CBP officers funded 
by the Congress in the fiscal year 2010 act but not hired due 
to overall CBP fee revenue shortfalls. Finally, the Committee 
recommends $15,900,000 above the request for hiring 86 pilots, 
marine enforcement agents, and operational support staff, as 
well 5 new positions in support of the additional UAS.

                    CONDUCT AND INTEGRITY OVERSIGHT

    The Committee recommends a total of $158,286,000, 
$17,000,000 above the request for CBP to expand integrity 
training for its officers, conduct investigations, and reduce 
the backlog of reviews and the polygraph backlog. Over the last 
5 years, CBP has hired more than 15,700 new personnel, a 37 
percent increase since fiscal year 2006. The Committee is aware 
that CBP's Office of Internal Affairs is facing a significant 
backlog in completing Periodic Reinvestigations [PRI] of 
current employees. Additionally, CBP is having difficulty 
reaching its goal of polygraphing 100 percent of the applicant 
pool for front line officer and agent positions without 
increasing staffing in this area. The additional $17,000,000 
above the request will allow CBP to perform polygraphs on 100 
percent of the law enforcement applicant pool, an increase from 
25 percent in fiscal year 2010, and begin to reduce the PRI 
backlog. The Committee urges the Department to provide 
additional funding for these critical officer integrity 
activities in the fiscal year 2012 budget request. The 
Committee also is concerned that the CBP budget proposes to 
reduce CBP-wide travel by 8 percent. The Committee directs that 
the Office of Internal Affairs receive the same amount for 
travel as in fiscal year 2009 in order to travel and conduct 
integrity training and investigations and ensure the 
effectiveness of integrity efforts.
    As discussed in title I of this report, valid concerns have 
been raised about which DHS entity has responsibility for 
conducting integrity and official corruption investigations. 
The Committee directs CBP and ICE to jointly submit a plan for 
expenditure no later than 90 days after the date of enactment 
of this act reflecting how funds provided to each agency are to 
be used. This plan shall be developed in coordination with the 
Office of Inspector General.

                     COMBATING SOUTHBOUND SMUGGLING

    The Committee recommends $20,000,000 above the request to 
hire no fewer than 80 additional CBP officers and other 
personnel in support of ongoing activities involved with 
combating the southbound smuggling of weapons and bulk cash 
which support the drug cartel-related violence in Mexico. These 
funds are also available for equipment, signage, and minor 
modifications to ports of entry to assist in making southbound 
inspections safer for the CBP officers and the travelling 
public as well as additional canine teams to assist in 
conducting inspections. The Committee directs CBP to provide a 
plan for expenditure specifying how these additional resources 
are to be deployed not later than 45 days after the date of 
enactment of this act.

                          BORDER PATROL AGENTS

    Since Congress began increasing the size of the Border 
Patrol by funding the hiring of 500 new agents in the Emergency 
Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on 
Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005 (Public Law 109-13), a total 
of 9,344 new Border Patrol agents, and attendant support 
positions, will have been funded and hired through the end of 
fiscal year 2010. The Congress strongly supports the Border 
Patrol mission of securing our borders and fully funds the 
amended fiscal year 2011 request.
    Included in the amount recommended by the Committee for 
``Border Security and Control'' is a total of $3,536,833,000, 
$10,000,000 below the request. The amount does not include the 
hiring of additional intelligence analysts, as discussed later 
in the report. These funds provide the full funding necessary 
for 20,370 Border Patrol agents and the attendant support 
positions, as compared with 9,951 agents on board at the end of 
fiscal year 2002.
    Bill language is included mandating a floor of not less 
than 20,370 Border Patrol agents on-board throughout fiscal 
year 2011.

                          OPERATION STREAMLINE

    The Committee supports Operation Streamline, a program in 
which individuals apprehended crossing the Southwest border are 
sentenced by a judge to serve a period of time in jail. In 
Border Patrol sectors where Operation Streamline is robustly in 
effect, there has been a noticeable reduction in attempted 
illegal crossings. The Committee encourages the Department to 
work with the appropriate Department of Justice agencies and 
the Judiciary to expand Operation Streamline to additional 
Border Patrol sectors.
    Additionally, the Committee encourages CBP to consider 
expanding the community liaison officers program and provide a 
briefing to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 90 
days after the date of enactment of this act on the costs and 
benefits associated with this program.

                        NORTHERN BORDER STAFFING

    The Committee strongly supports CBP's commitment to reach 
its Border Patrol staffing goals for the Northern border by the 
end of calendar year 2010. The Committee remains concerned, 
however, about CBP officer staffing levels for Northern border 
ports of entry. The Committee believes that many of the 
concerns about Northern border staffing could be allayed by 
more complete reporting to Congress about CBP's Northern border 
staffing plans. The Committee directs CBP to submit a plan with 
the fiscal year 2012 budget detailing specific staffing and 
funding for, and implementation of, planned Northern border 
enforcement initiatives.

           INTELLIGENCE AND OPERATIONS COORDINATION STAFFING

    The Committee recommends a total of $58,009,000, the same 
as the amount provided in fiscal year 2010 and a reduction of 
$10,000,000 from the amount requested in the budget, for 
intelligence and operations coordination staffing. The 
Committee is skeptical that CBP will be able to hire all of the 
requested staff in 1 year and believes CBP has higher 
operational priorities.

                          JOURNEYMAN INCREASE

    The Committee recommends $310,403,000, as requested, for 
the journeyman pay increase and associated supervisory pay 
increases. This increase was required after review by the 
courts and was announced to CBP employees by the Secretary and 
the Acting Commissioner on October 14, 2009. The Committee is 
disappointed that it took more than 9 months from the 
announcement for CBP to identify funds to begin implementing 
the increase and communicate that proposal to the Congress. The 
Committee notes that this pay grade increase will affect 27,587 
CBP employees in fiscal year 2011.

                        AIR AND MARINE STAFFING

    Included in the amount recommended by the Committee is a 
total of $314,052,000, 2,015 positions, and 1,943 FTE for Air 
and Marine staffing. This represents an increase of 
$15,900,000, 144 positions, and 72 FTE, above the level 
requested in the budget.
    In the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 
2010 (Public Law 111-83), the Committee fully funded the 
President's budget request to hire 144 new Office of Air and 
Marine pilots, vessel commanders, and support personnel. The 
Committee agreed with the President that it is critical to fill 
these positions in order to fly the planes and command the 
unmanned aircraft systems and vessels which protect our borders 
from entry of illegal persons, drugs, or other contraband. 
Therefore, the Committee was disappointed to learn that not 
only were funds not requested in the fiscal year 2011 request 
to sustain the majority of these positions but, in fact, a 
decision had been made early in fiscal year 2010 to hire only 
24 of the 144 positions. This decision is penny wise and pound 
foolish. Given the very lengthy hiring and training process 
before these personnel can be considered fully operational, as 
well as the increased demand for security operations along our 
borders, the Committee recommends $15,000,000 above the request 
to hire a portion of these essential personnel. The additional 
$900,000 above the request is to hire the pilots and other 
personnel associated with the one additional unmanned aircraft 
system funded in the ``Air and Marine Interdiction, Operations, 
Maintenance, and Procurement'' account.

                         INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY

    The Committee recommends $155,093,000, for ``Inspection and 
Detection Technology Investments'', as requested in the budget. 
The Committee understands that in addition to ongoing 
operations and maintenance of CBP's inventory of technology 
systems, $44,700,000, will be used to procure and deploy new 
and replacement nonintrusive inspection systems.

                   PASSENGER NAME RECORD INFORMATION

    The Committee is aware that the International Civil 
Aviation Organization [ICAO] is reviewing options for further 
standardizing the information fields used by the airlines to 
collect passenger name record [PNR] data. Over the last nearly 
20 years, the analysis of PNR data has become an integral part 
of our effort to manage the U.S. border securely, efficiently, 
and fairly and has significantly reduced wait times at our 
border crossings. PNR data holds information that can be used 
in identifying persons involved in transnational crimes and 
terrorism. When PNR is available, CBP officers use it to 
identify travelers that potentially pose a greater risk of 
terrorism or serious transnational crimes, based on 
intelligence and the analysis of current and past law 
enforcement cases. In this way, PNR helps CBP to identify known 
threats earlier and previously unknown threats by uncovering 
travel practices known to be indicative of illicit activity.
    CBP's Automated Targeting System.--Passenger maintains PNR 
information received from commercial air carriers and uses that 
information to assess risk associated with travelers seeking to 
enter, exit, or pass through the United States. The system 
utilizes scenario-based targeting rules in order to identify 
``unknown'' potential higher-risk individuals. The recent 
events associated with the failed car bombing in New York City 
and other high-profile terrorist incidents since the fall of 
2009 are evidence of the need to receive reliable and 
comprehensive PNR data.
    The Committee believes that having the most up-to-date PNR 
information is critical. The data needs to be provided in a 
timely manner and in a format for appropriate screening and 
action if necessary. The Committee urges CBP to work with ICAO 
on standardizing PNR data and ensuring that it is received on a 
timely basis. The Committee also encourages CBP to explore 
adding passport numbers to the PNR data field.

                         DATA CENTER MIGRATION

    As part of the Department-wide effort to assign data center 
migration funding to the component agencies which will be 
migrating, the Committee provides a total of $34,370,000, in 
new funding to support CBP's portion of this activity in fiscal 
year 2011, as requested in the budget.

                      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

    The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for 
intellectual property rights, an increase of $20,000,000 above 
the fiscal year 2010 level and $5,000,000 less than the budget 
request. The Committee also includes language in the bill 
withholding $20,000,000 from obligation until the Commissioner 
of CBP submits the 5-year intellectual property rights 
enforcement strategy required in the joint explanatory 
statement accompanying the Conference Report (House Report 111-
298) on Public Law 111-83.

                            INVASIVE SPECIES

    The Committee directs CBP to fund activities associated 
with the control of invasive species, such as carrizo cane, and 
any mitigation efforts from within the ``Border Security 
Fencing, Infrastructure, and Technology'' account.

                        ADVANCED TRAINING CENTER

    Included in the amount recommended by the Committee is 
$35,510,827, as proposed in the budget, for programmatic 
expenses (including salaries and benefits) and the National 
Training Plan, at the Advanced Training Center. In fiscal year 
2010, it is estimated that there will be 3,786 graduates of the 
advanced training program and that 2,800 employees will have 
received weapons requalifications at the Advanced Training 
Center.
    Pursuant to Public Law 106-246, the training to be 
conducted at the Center shall be configured in a manner so as 
to not duplicate or displace any Federal law enforcement 
program of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center [FLETC]. 
Training currently being conducted at a FLETC facility shall 
not be moved to the Center.

            ANTIDUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING DUTY ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee has ensured that, within the amounts provided 
for in this account, there will be sufficient funds to 
administer the ongoing requirements of section 754 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675c), referenced in subtitle F 
of title VII of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (Public Law 
109-171; 120 Stat. 154).
    The Committee directs CBP to continue to work with the 
Departments of Commerce and Treasury, and the Office of the 
United States Trade Representative (and all other relevant 
agencies) to increase collections, and provide a public report 
on an annual basis, within 30 days of each year's distributions 
under the law. The report should summarize CBP's efforts to 
collect past due amounts and increase current collections, 
particularly with respect to cases involving unfairly traded 
United States imports from China. The report shall provide the 
amount of uncollected duties for each antidumping and 
countervailing duty order, and indicate the amount of open, 
unpaid bills for each such order. In that report, the 
Secretary, in consultation with other relevant agencies, 
including the Secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce, should 
also advise as to whether CBP can adjust its bonding 
requirements to further protect revenue without violating U.S. 
law or international obligations, and without imposing 
unreasonable costs upon importers.
    The Committee further directs the Secretary to work with 
the Secretary of Commerce to identify opportunities for the 
Commerce Department to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and 
clarity of liquidation instructions sent to CBP. Increased 
attention and interagency coordination in these areas could 
help ensure that steps in the collection of duties are 
completed in a more expeditious manner.
    The Committee directs CBP to ensure that adequate resources 
are directed to the field and to key seaports to address issues 
of customs fraud, including circumvention of duties and 
misclassification on entries of imports of goods from China. 
CBP should work with its counterparts at ICE to address 
aggressive targeting of unfairly traded imports of steel pipe 
and tube from China to ensure that appropriate actions are 
taken to end these illegal activities. The Committee requests a 
briefing from CBP on steps it is taking to address this issue 
as well as other options it can explore with other agencies and 
departments to further improve targeting.

                    TRADE ENFORCEMENT AND COMPLIANCE

    The Committee is concerned that CBP may not be providing 
sufficient resources and personnel to the Office of Trade. The 
volume of trade continues to expand and as the economy improves 
the country will experience an even greater volume of trade. 
The Committee fully funds the President's request for trade 
enforcement and compliance and encourages CBP to increase 
hiring of trade enforcement and compliance personnel to the 
greatest extent possible. The Committee directs CBP to submit 
to the Committees on Appropriations the updated resource 
optimization model required to be prepared under section 403 of 
the SAFE Port Act.

                           AGRICULTURAL PESTS

    The Committee notes that Hawaii's globally significant 
natural environment, as well as the State's important 
diversified agricultural industry, are uniquely vulnerable to 
the introduction of invasive weeds, animals, insects, and 
diseases. The Committee expects the Department to work with the 
USDA and the Hawaii Department of Agriculture to share 
information and expertise to ensure their respective inspection 
and quarantine activities provide coordinated and collaborative 
biosecurity protection for the State. The Committee urges CBP 
to work with State officials to devise a plan for an improved 
joint inspection facility to be jointly operated by the State 
of Hawaii, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of 
Homeland Security/CBP.

                               JONES ACT

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection is charged with 
enforcement of U.S. cabotage laws. The Jones Act provides for 
the national and economic security of the United States by 
supporting a strong U.S. merchant marine. By virtue of the 
Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended by Public Law 
106-580, the coastwise laws apply to marine transportation 
between points and places in the United States, including on 
the Outer Continental Shelf. U.S. vessels, mariners, and 
shipyards have been negatively impacted and underutilized as a 
result of prior rulings inconsistent with congressional intent. 
The Committee urges the Department to expeditiously complete 
the ongoing rulemaking process to establish clarity in the law 
regarding the application of the Jones Act to the offshore 
energy sector.

                  TRAINING REGARDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    CBP plays a critical role in identifying potential human 
trafficking victims as they enter the United States. The 
Committee encourages CBP to work with appropriate nonprofit 
organizations and victim service providers to improve the 
training of CBP officers in the field to assist in the 
identification of human trafficking victims and provide 
appropriate referrals to victim service organizations.

                        AUTOMATION MODERNIZATION

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $422,445,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     347,575,000
Committee recommendation................................     347,575,000

    The automation modernization account includes funds for 
major information technology systems and services for U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection [CBP], including the Automated 
Commercial Environment [ACE] and the International Trade and 
Data System projects, and connectivity of and integration of 
existing systems.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $347,575,000, to be available 
until expended, as proposed in the budget, for automation 
modernization. In light of the continued problems with program 
oversight, management, and development, the Committee agrees 
the reduction is appropriate and believes that CBP should take 
this opportunity to address and resolve these problems.

                    INTERNATIONAL TRADE DATA SYSTEM

    Included in the amount recommended is $16,000,000, as 
requested, for the International Trade Data System.

                            EXPENDITURE PLAN

    The Committee includes bill language making not less than 
$50,000,000 available for development of ACE upon the 
submission of a comprehensive expenditure plan for the program. 
The Committee also expects to continue receiving the ACE 
quarterly reports. CBP is directed to brief the Committees on 
Appropriations immediately on the plan to decommission the 
Automated Commercial System [ACS], the updated program plan for 
ACE, how the ACS decommission plan is integrated into the 
program plan, and the updated master schedule for ACE 
development.

                           TECS MODERNIZATION

    The Committee directs CBP and ICE to continue to conduct 
the semiannual joint briefings for the Committee.

        BORDER SECURITY FENCING, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND TECHNOLOGY

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $800,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     574,173,000
Committee recommendation................................     574,173,000

    The Border Security, Fencing, Infrastructure, and 
Technology account funds the capital procurement and total 
operations and maintenance costs associated with fencing, 
infrastructure, sensors, surveillance, and other technology.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $574,173,000, as requested, for 
this activity.
    The Committee supports the continued investment in 
technology and infrastructure on the northern border, and 
includes $40,000,000 as requested to continue this effort.

                        SECURE BORDER INITIATIVE

    Approximately $4,500,000,000 has been appropriated to the 
Secure Border Initiative [SBI] program between fiscal years 
2005-2010. With the $574,173,000 recommended in this bill, more 
than $5,000,000,000 will have been made available to secure our 
borders via physical fencing, tactical infrastructure, and 
other technologies.
    The Committee has strongly supported the SBI program--
including SBInet, the so-called ``virtual fence''. From the 
beginning, however, the SBInet program has been troubled by 
both real and perceived problems. More than $1,200,000,000 of 
the total funding has been devoted to SBInet and the Committee 
is concerned with the performance of the SBInet contract and 
how it has been implemented. While the program is under strong 
leadership at this point, it is imperative that outstanding 
issues must be resolved quickly. On March 15, 2010, the 
Secretary halted further expansion, development, and deployment 
of the testing activities beyond the Tucson-1 and Ajo-1 
projects currently ongoing in Arizona pending a two-stage 
review of the entire SBInet program. The Committee supports 
this review, but notes that, contrary to media reports, Border 
Patrol agents have been using the cameras and sensors being 
tested in the Tucson sector and they report that improvements 
have been made. These agents have been able to use these 
cameras to make apprehensions and are pleased to have a 
detection technology previously unavailable in the sector.
    Pending this review, the Committee strongly urges the 
Department to use currently available funding, as well as the 
funds provided in this bill, to procure and deploy useful and 
proven technologies--such as remote video sensors and mobile 
surveillance systems--to further assist agents who daily secure 
our borders.
    The tactical communications program is also a proven system 
which provides vastly improved communications capabilities to 
Border Patrol agents working in remote areas along the borders. 
The Committee strongly supports the use of funds provided in 
this bill to further expand the tactical communications program 
to Border Patrol sectors according to the approved Border 
Patrol plan. The total life-cycle cost for this planned upgrade 
is estimated to be nearly $1,600,000,000 to be implemented over 
a period of 10 years. The Committee also encourages CBP to 
explore other interoperable communications options, including 
satellite phones, for use in remote areas and to improve 
officer safety. We must not delay in providing these agents 
with the technology they need to secure the border and ensure 
their personal safety.

                            INVASIVE SPECIES

    The Committee directs CBP to fund activities associated 
with the control of invasive species, such as carrizo cane, and 
any mitigation efforts from within the ``Border Security 
Fencing, Infrastructure, and Technology'' account.

                            EXPENDITURE PLAN

    The Committee expects a timely submission of the plan 
mandated in this bill. It is the responsibility of CBP, the 
Department, and the Office of Management and Budget to ensure 
expenditure plans, when submitted, comply with the law.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels:

 AIR AND MARINE INTERDICTION, OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE, AND PROCUREMENT

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $519,826,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     503,251,000
Committee recommendation................................     523,751,000

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] Air and Marine 
Interdiction, Operations, Maintenance, and Procurement [AMO] 
account funds the capital procurement and total operations and 
maintenance costs of the CBP air and marine program and 
provides support to other Federal, State, and local agencies.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $523,751,000, an increase of 
$20,500,000 above the request, to remain available until 
expended, for air and marine interdiction, operations, 
maintenance, and procurement.
    The Committee strongly supports CBP's continued efforts to 
recapitalize its air and marine assets. Since fiscal year 2005, 
the Congress has appropriated more than $2,870,000,000 to this 
account. Working with the Office of Air and Marine, the 
Committee has provided resources to meet the Department's 
border security requirements in the air, coastal, and riverine 
environments as delineated by the CBP Air and Marine 
Recapitalization Plan. Resources to address some of these 
requirements are provided in this bill. The Committee notes the 
lengthy period of time it takes in procuring certain types of 
aircraft and other air systems because of the need to compete 
with the Department of Defense for these systems in a time of 
war, but AMO is to be commended for the creative use of multi-
purchase awards.

                       UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommends a total of $34,500,000, 
$20,500,000 above the request, for two additional Unmanned 
Aircraft Systems [UAS]. Funds for the procurement of one 
additional UAS are requested in the budget and the $18,500,000 
above the request is for the procurement of an additional UAS 
for total procurement of two UAS in fiscal year 2011. An 
additional $900,000 is provided in ``Salaries and Expenses'' to 
hire five new positions associated with the additional UAS and 
$2,000,000 above the request is provided in this account for 
attendant UAS support materials and equipment. The Committee 
notes that the procurement and final acceptance process for a 
UAS takes between 18 and 24 months. A similar period of time is 
required to hire and train UAS pilots and ground station 
operators. Thus, it is important that this process be initiated 
as early as possible. With the funds provided in this bill, CBP 
will eventually have nine UAS, including three for maritime 
operations. The Committee directs CBP to maintain the current 
level of UAS on the Northern border.

                 CONSTRUCTION AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $319,570,000
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................     175,968,000
Committee recommendation\1\.............................     179,968,000

\1\Includes a rescission of $99,772,000 in unobligated prior year 
balances.

    This appropriation provides funding to plan, construct, 
renovate, equip, and maintain buildings and facilities 
necessary for the administration and enforcement of the laws 
relating to immigration, customs, and alien registration.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $179,968,000 for construction and 
facilities management activities of U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection [CBP], to be available until expended.

                        BORDER PATROL FACILITIES

    The Committee is disappointed that due to a lack of 
execution of funds provided in prior years for accelerated 
construction of Border Patrol facilities to keep pace with the 
expansion of the Border Patrol workforce, budget constraints 
facing overall CBP operations have resulted in unobligated 
prior-year balances in this account being available for 
rescission. The Committee reluctantly concurs with the 
rescission request, but directs CBP to increase the proposed 
rescission of various alterations projects by $19,100,000 and 
submit a revised projects rescission plan to the Committees on 
Appropriations not later than 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act. The Committee directs that the 
rescission have no impact on the previously funded project to 
replace the Border Patrol station at Oroville, Washington which 
currently has 49 agents in a facility designed to house 20 
agents. Bill language has been included limiting the rescission 
to Border Patrol projects and facilities.

                       SANTA TERESA PORT OF ENTRY

    The Committee is aware that the existing infrastructure at 
the Santa Teresa Port of Entry [POE] may be insufficient to 
accommodate increased port traffic given the increased export 
production activities on the Mexican side of the border and 
urges CBP to report, in coordination with the General Services 
Administration [GSA]--which owns the facility, to the Committee 
not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this act 
on the cost of constructing at least two additional passenger 
vehicle lanes and related inspection booths at the port. The 
report should also examine the impact on wait times and traffic 
flows at other area POEs of any expansion at the Santa Teresa 
POE.

                        ADVANCED TRAINING CENTER

    The Committee provides $14,100,000, as requested in the 
budget, for maintenance, repairs, and operations activities for 
the Advanced Training Center [ATC]. The Committee also 
recommends $4,000,000 to equip and expand the Leadership 
Academy and complete dormitory construction consistent with the 
ATC Master Plan which was submitted to the Committee on April 
4, 2007, by the Department of Homeland Security Under Secretary 
for Management. The ATC opened in September 2005. It provides 
advanced training to more than 3,700 CBP law enforcement 
personnel, managers, and supervisors per year and will train 
approximately 4,000 per year by the end of 2011.

                      FIVE-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PLAN

    The Committee is disappointed that CBP, GSA, and the Office 
of Management and Budget had ample time to produce and submit 
with the budget the 5-year construction plan for land border 
POE construction mandated in the fiscal year 2010 act, yet 
failed to do so. The Committee again has included bill language 
requiring CBP, in consultation with GSA, to include the 5-year 
construction plan with the fiscal year 2012 request. The plan 
shall include a yearly update of total projected future funding 
needs.
    The Committee directs the Department to continue to work 
with the GSA on its nationwide strategy to prioritize and 
address the infrastructure needs at land border POEs and to 
comply with the requirements of the Public Buildings Act of 
1959 (40 U.S.C. 3301) to seek necessary funding.
    The Committee further directs the Department to encourage 
the use of small businesses in all phases of the contracting 
process for construction and renovation of POEs.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010....................................  $5,342,134,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................   5,439,100,000
Committee recommendation................................   5,466,462,000

    The ICE Salaries and Expenses account provides funds for 
the enforcement of immigration and customs laws, intelligence, 
and detention and removals. In addition to directly 
appropriated resources, funding is derived from the following 
offsetting collections:
    Immigration Inspection User Fee.--ICE derives funds from 
user fees to support the costs of detention and removals in 
connection with international inspections activities at 
airports and seaports, as authorized by the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356).
    Student Exchange Visitor Program Fee.--ICE collects fees 
from foreign students, exchange visitors, and schools and 
universities to certify and monitor participating schools, and 
to conduct compliance audits.
    Immigration Breached Bond/Detention Fund.--ICE derives 
funds from the recovery of breached cash and surety bonds in 
excess of $8,000,000 as authorized by the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356); and from a portion of fees 
charged under section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act to support the cost of the detention of aliens.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $5,466,462,000, for salaries and 
expenses of ICE for fiscal year 2011. The Committee includes 
bill language placing a $35,000 limit on overtime paid to any 
employee; making up to $10,000,000 available for special 
operations; making up to $2,000,000 available for the payment 
of informants; making up to $11,216,000 available to reimburse 
other Federal agencies for the costs associated with the care, 
maintenance, and repatriation of smuggled illegal aliens; 
making not less than $305,000 available for promotion of public 
awareness of the child pornography tipline and anti-child 
exploitation activities; making not less than $5,400,000 
available to facilitate agreements consistent with section 
287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act; limiting the use 
of funds for facilitating agreements consistent with section 
287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to the same 
activities funded in fiscal year 2005; making $15,770,000 
available for activities to enforce laws against forced child 
labor, of which $6,000,000 shall remain available until 
expended, and making $7,300,000 available until expended for 
the Visa Security Program.

                SOUTHWEST BORDER ENFORCEMENT INITIATIVE

    In March 2009, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced 
a major initiative to assist the Mexican Government in 
combating drug cartel violence by deploying additional ICE and 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] personnel and 
resources to the Southwest border. Between the Supplemental 
Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-32) and the Department 
of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, more than 
$81,000,000 has been added above the President's requests for 
ICE for Southwest border security, including investigations 
into outbound smuggling activities of guns and bulk cash which 
support the drug cartels, expanding the number of Border 
Enforcement Security Task Forces [BESTs], as well as increasing 
the number of agents, intelligence analysts, and support 
personnel along the Southwest border.
    Since the Mexican Government began its offensive on drug 
trafficking organizations in 2007, more than 22,700 people have 
been killed. While the violence has not spilled over the border 
into the United States, the level of violence has increased the 
fears of many living in the Southwest. As the drug cartels 
become more violent and fight each other for access to 
smuggling routes, often robbing each other of humans, drugs, or 
other contraband they are attempting to smuggle into the United 
States, the costs of these efforts escalate in both financial 
and human terms. These cartels are increasing their presence in 
the United States, and not just along the border. A recent 
report issued by the Department of Defense's Southern Command 
stated, ``Of particular concern is the smuggling of criminal 
aliens and gang members who pose public safety threats to 
communities throughout the border region and the country. These 
individuals include hundreds of undocumented aliens from 
special interest countries, primarily China, but also 
Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan.''
    Guns obtained in the United States fuel the violence in 
Mexico. ICE is able to use intelligence gleaned from the BESTs 
and other sources to interdict weapons. On the Southwest border 
with Mexico, firearms violence has reportedly spiked in recent 
years as drug trafficking organizations have competed for 
control of key smuggling corridors into the United States. The 
drug trafficking organizations and other criminals are 
reportedly buying firearms in the United States that contribute 
to this violence. In early June of this year, officials in 
Laredo, Texas seized a cache of 147 new, boxed assault rifles, 
200 high-capacity magazines, 53 bayonets, and 10,000 rounds of 
ammunition. Drugs continue to enter this country at staggering 
rates. Seizures at the border of marijuana and cocaine have 
increased, but so have the sizes of the drug loads. Ninety 
percent of the cocaine and half of the marijuana and 
methamphetamine sold in the United States are smuggled across 
the border. Sale of these drugs funds the drug cartels as well 
as the violence in Mexico.
    Finally, bulk cash smuggling is the other major source of 
revenue perpetuating the cycle of killing and retaliation. The 
recently released United States of America-Mexico ``Bi-National 
Criminal Proceeds Study'', an inquiry into the laundering of 
cash proceeds of organized transnational crime, estimates that 
between $19,000,000,000 and $29,000,000,000 annually travels to 
Mexico from the United States in support of ``criminal 
enterprises involved in drug trafficking''. It notes that major 
U.S. cities are hub cities for bulk cash smuggling, but cities 
such as Denver, Colorado and Yakima, Washington serve as 
consolidation points in support of these efforts. DHS personnel 
have been successful in stopping the exit of some of these 
proceeds--such as the seizure of more than $724,000 at the 
Arizona border over the course of 2 weeks in late May 2010. But 
the sheer scope of these activities indicates that our country 
faces a very real threat.
    ICE is uniquely situated to address this threat. It is the 
only agency whose criminal mission revolves entirely around 
cross-border crime, namely the smuggling of aliens, narcotics, 
firearms, and bulk cash. ICE has a role in every form of 
smuggling and is not limited to one type of contraband (such as 
firearms or drugs). ICE also is unique in terms of the breadth 
of its statutory authority under titles 8, 18, 19, 21, 22, 31, 
and 50 of the United States Code. ICE also has unmatched 
immigration authority among criminal investigative agencies. 
Rather than addressing domestic drug dealing or firearms 
violations, ICE is focused on cross-border narcotics and 
firearms trafficking--offenses that are driving crime on the 
Southwest border. Thus, additional resources to ICE will 
bolster the attack on every form of border crime.
    The Committee recommends $30,000,000, 130 positions, and 65 
FTE above the request, to enhance ongoing efforts to combat 
criminal activities which pose a threat to our Nation along the 
Southwest border. These funds will be used to increase 
enforcement activities and investigations at ICE's BESTs, 
target human, contraband, weapon, and bulk cash smuggling, with 
a focus on terrorist groups, drug trafficking organizations, 
criminal aliens, and transnational gangs. The Committee 
encourages ICE to use a portion of these additional resources 
for counterproliferation investigations and investigations into 
child exploitation and sex tourism which often are funded with 
proceeds from smuggling activities. Included in the amount 
listed above is $1,000,000 provided in ``Intelligence'' to 
support enhanced intelligence capabilities in Mexico. The 
Committee directs ICE to provide a plan for expenditure 
specifying how additional resources are to be deployed not 
later than 45 days after the date of enactment of this act.
    Also, included in the total amount recommended by the 
Committee is $10,000,000, as requested, to expand the BEST 
program to three additional locations.
    The Committee encourages ICE to work with the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [ATF] to identify and 
apprehend traffickers of firearms who contribute to violence on 
the Southwest border with Mexico. This cooperation would 
include ICE working with ATF to expand the use of ballistics 
imaging technology and other methods, including the capture and 
transfer of all ballistics images from guns seized through 
southbound inspections or by Mexican authorities, to trace 
weapons used in criminal acts in Mexico. For instance, tracing 
the ballistic images on the guns used to kill three 
individuals, including two American citizens, in Juarez, 
Mexico, could assist in bringing these individuals to justice. 
``Operation Gunrunner'' has proven to be very effective in this 
effort to track guns used by drug trafficking organizations in 
Mexico.
    Recognizing the primary role that ICE plays in cross-border 
cash smuggling investigations, the Committee is also interested 
in ongoing discussions at the Department to create a 
centralized Southwest border task force to specifically focus 
on the issues of bulk cash and gun smuggling, transnational 
gangs, and other cross-border violence issues. The Department 
is directed to brief the Committee on these efforts not less 
than 90 days after the date of enactment of this act.

                       ICE ENFORCEMENT PRIORITIES

    While the Congress has not specifically mandated that ICE 
shall have no higher immigration enforcement priority than 
identifying individuals convicted of dangerous crimes and 
removing them from the country once a court has ruled they 
should be deported, over the past 3 years, Congress has 
emphasized that ICE has multiple immigration enforcement 
priorities. Among the priorities identified by Congress are 
conducting worksite enforcement investigations and identifying 
foreign-born individuals who have been convicted of crimes and 
sentenced to imprisonment and removing those individuals once 
they have been judged deportable by the immigration court 
system. While it is imperative that ICE target criminal aliens, 
it is important to remember that the 9/11 hijackers would not 
be viewed as ``criminal aliens'' so it is incumbent upon ICE to 
enforce all of the laws within its jurisdiction.
    Enforcement of customs laws, using immigration and customs 
authorities, is also an ICE enforcement priority. The Assistant 
Secretary stated in testimony before the House Homeland 
Security Appropriations Subcommittee on March 18, 2010, ``As 
the primary criminal investigative arm of the Department of 
Homeland Security [DHS], ICE protects the security of the 
American people and the homeland by vigilantly enforcing the 
Nation's immigration and customs laws. ICE protects national 
security through the work of our special agents who target, 
investigate, and dismantle criminal organizations and terrorist 
networks that exploit weaknesses in our legitimate trade, 
travel, and financial systems. Our criminal priorities include 
counterterrorism and counterproliferation, and involve the 
targeting of intellectual property, child sex tourism, alien, 
narcotics, weapons, and bulk cash smuggling, human trafficking, 
immigration fraud, and illegal employment offenses. ICE 
officers enforce civil immigration laws to secure the homeland 
and protect our communities by identifying and removing aliens 
who support terrorism, criminal aliens, alien gang members, and 
human rights violators. By removing these aliens and aliens 
with final orders of removal, ICE provides integrity to the 
Nation's immigration system. ICE is committed to meeting this 
mission in an increasingly efficient and effective manner.''
    Just as CBP must stop the entry into the United States of 
contraband, people, and goods, while also facilitating the flow 
of legitimate trade and commerce, so ICE must also maintain a 
balance of enforcing immigration and customs laws while also 
protecting the country by removing those individuals who are 
here illegally.

      MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION--IMPROVED INTEGRITY OVERSIGHT

    Over the last 4 years, ICE has hired more than 8,200 new 
personnel, a 31 percent increase since fiscal year 2006. In 
order to support long-term border security efforts and avoid 
fraud, the Committee believes it is important to keep in front 
of any possible increase in workforce fraud by hiring 
additional agents who will investigate cases of fraud and other 
illegal activities.
    The Office of Professional Responsibility [OPR] 
investigates all Inspector General-referred allegations of 
criminal misconduct by ICE and CBP employees. ICE and CBP have 
critical missions, including preventing the flow of drugs, 
dangerous goods, and illegal immigrants into the country, and 
sensitive technology and weapons out of the country. To ensure 
the continued integrity of the workforce, growth in ICE 
staffing should be matched by commensurate growth in OPR. The 
Committee recommends a total of $99,104,000 and 506 FTE to 
perform workforce integrity investigations and training, 
detention facility inspections, ICE field office management 
inspections, and physical security management inspections. This 
is an increase of $5,000,000 and 12 FTE above the fiscal year 
2010 level, and $5,000,000 and 12 FTE above the request. This 
will provide for $93,058,000 to conduct integrity 
investigations, including additional funds for ICE to expand 
its OPR presence along the Southwest border.

                     COLLOCATION OF ICE FACILITIES

    The Committee recommends $51,073,000, the same as the 
fiscal year 2010 level and $19,938,000 below the request, for 
collocation activities for ICE facilities. The Committee 
supports ICE's ongoing efforts to consolidate leases and reduce 
the number of facilities it occupies in cities across the 
country. Bill language has been included directing that none of 
the funds provided for collocation activities at ICE shall 
result in a net loss below 33,400 detention beds and requiring 
15-day notification to the Committees on Appropriations of any 
proposed collocation.

                 OFFICE OF STATE AND LOCAL COORDINATION

    The Committee recommends $68,321,000, 125 positions and 
FTE, as requested, for the Office of State and Local Government 
Coordination. Included in this amount is funding for training 
and information technology assistance for participants in the 
287(g) program.
    The Committee notes that the 287(g) program is a voluntary, 
not mandatory, program through which communities which choose 
to join enter into discussions with ICE to determine the proper 
fit for the individual community and ICE. Section 287(g) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act was made law in the United 
States in 1995 as a result of congressional passage of the 
Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. 
Unless and until Congress adopts any changes to the law 
concerning the 287(g) program, it is anticipated that ICE will 
continue to make the program available to communities wishing 
to receive 287(g) training provided by ICE. The Committee 
intends that the appropriate accountability and training 
standards, including instruction on multicultural communication 
and the avoidance of racial profiling, are adhered to by 
participating communities and has provided sufficient 
resources, as requested in the budget, to ensure that these 
standards are met.

                     LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT CENTER

    The Committee recommends a total of $34,990,000, 316 
positions and FTE, as requested in the budget, to assist in 
responding to requests for assistance from State and local law 
enforcement officers.

                         FORENSICS DOCUMENT LAB

    The Committee recommends $14,357,000, 80 positions and FTE, 
as requested, for the Forensics Document Lab [FDL]. The FDL 
provides forensic document analysis and operations support 
services to combat travel and identity document fraud.

                         DATA CENTER MIGRATION

    As part of the Department-wide effort to assign data center 
migration funding to the component agencies which will be 
migrating, the Committee recommends $10,400,000 in new funding 
as requested to support ICE's portion of this activity in 
fiscal year 2011.

                 SUPPORT FOR FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE

    The Committee notes that a memorandum of understanding 
[MOU] between ICE and the National Protection and Programs 
Directorate [NPPD] regarding business services provided to FPS 
has not yet been signed. When the Committee approved the 
transfer of FPS from ICE to NPPD in fiscal year 2010, as 
requested in the President's budget, it was with the 
understanding that the same core support, some of which ICE 
would still provide as appropriate, would be maintained. NPPD 
and ICE are directed to provide the Committee with a copy of 
the signed MOU without delay. Similar language is included for 
NPPD.

                  INVESTIGATIONS--WORKSITE ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee recommends $134,626,000 for the overall level 
of effort for worksite enforcement activities, as requested. 
The Committee notes that the number of criminal and 
administrative arrests has dropped since the new worksite 
enforcement strategy was announced on April 30, 2009. Criminal 
arrests related to worksite enforcement investigations dropped 
from 1,103 in fiscal year 2008 to only 410 in fiscal year 2009. 
Similarly, administrative arrests dropped from 5,184 in fiscal 
year 2008 to 1,644 in fiscal year 2009.
    While the Committee applauds the apparent renewed vigor 
with which ICE is performing I-9 (workplace authorization) 
audits in an effort to target employers who knowingly hire 
illegal aliens, which is something the Committee called for in 
Senate Report 110-396, this is only half of the equation.
    Based on briefings with ICE officials, the Committee 
expects ICE to commit a total level of worksite enforcement 
effort of $134,626,000. The Committee directs ICE to provide 
quarterly briefings on how it is meeting this level of effort 
no later than 30 days after the end of each quarter.

           OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS--MISSION SUPPORT STAFFING

    The Committee is pleased that the Department has followed 
the recommendation provided by the Congress in the fiscal year 
2010 act and recommends an additional $15,000,000, 167 
positions, and 84 FTE, for mission support personnel, as 
requested in the budget.

                         VISA SECURITY PROGRAM

    The Visa Security Program, mandated in section 428 of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pubic Law 107-296), extends the 
border overseas to prevent terrorists and other criminals from 
receiving U.S. visas. The Office of International Affairs has 
developed a multi-year expansion plan which includes a 
prioritized expansion to the 32 highest-risk visa issuing 
posts. According to the plan, the program will cover 
approximately 75 percent of the highest risk visa activity 
posts by 2013. The Committee is displeased that planned 
expansion of visa security units to critical overseas consular 
posts were delayed, in one instance--Sanaa, Yemen--for up to 18 
months. Unfortunately, it took the December 25, 2009, attempted 
airline bombing to spring lose from the Department of Homeland 
Security to the Department of State the requests to expand 
these units. Bureaucratic delays are unacceptable when it comes 
to national security and congressionally mandated activities. 
The Committee recommends $37,986,000, $7,300,000 above the 
request, to fully fund planned visa security programs and 
expand the units to four additional consular posts.

                      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

    The Committee provides $5,000,000, as requested, for the 
Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center and an 
additional $5,000,000 above the request for additional special 
agents nationwide to investigate intellectual property rights.

                            ICE INTELLIGENCE

    The Committee recommends $72,107,000, an increase of 
$2,265,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level and $1,000,000 
above the request, for ICE intelligence activities. The 
$1,000,000 above the request is for additional support for 
ongoing intelligence activities in Mexico.
    The Committee is pleased with the manner in which the 
Office of Intelligence has expanded and staffed its Field 
Intelligence Groups. ICE's BEST teams along the borders and at 
the seaports make great use of these specialists and the 
personnel increases funded in this bill will help to ensure 
that the BESTs are used to their greatest capacity. The 
Committee directs ICE to provide an updated Intelligence 
staffing briefing no later than 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act.

            DETENTION AND REMOVAL--CUSTODY OPERATIONS (BEDS)

    The Committee recommends a total of $1,903,764,000, an 
increase of $132,596,000 above the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2010, as requested in the budget. The Committee notes that 
what appears to be a significant increase between fiscal years 
2010 and 2011 actually reflects the administration's proposal 
to fund all detention beds within ``Custody Operations'' as 
opposed to spreading the detention bed funding between that 
activity, ``Fugitive Operations'', ``Criminal Alien Program'', 
and ``Secure Communities''. The Committee strongly supports 
this proposal to streamline the process to provide proper 
accounting for bed funding. After all, a bed is a bed is a bed. 
This framework provides better transparency into the actual 
costs of each of these programs while ensuring that beds are 
available for individuals who need to be detained.
    The Committee encourages ICE to continue working to ensure 
that its detention bedspace funding model is accurate and 
reflects the actual cost of a bed as it develops the fiscal 
year 2012 budget request.
    The Committee also requests that it be briefed on the 
development of this bedspace cost model no later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act.
    Maintaining an adequate number of detention beds is 
critical to ensuring the integrity of our detention and removal 
system while at the same time preventing a return to the ill-
advised ``catch and release'' policy. We must ensure that all 
removable illegal aliens apprehended are removed from this 
country as expeditiously as possible. The Committee notes that 
in fiscal year 2009, ICE removed a total of 405,662 illegal 
aliens compared with 240,665 in fiscal year 2004. This clearly 
demonstrates that the additional resources the Congress has 
provided above the President's requests the past 6 fiscal years 
for securing our borders continues to have an impact.
    The bill continues current law directing that a detention 
bed level of 33,400 beds shall be maintained throughout fiscal 
year 2010.

                      DETENTION CARE AND STANDARDS

    The Committee strongly supports ICE's recent efforts to 
review and improve upon its detention care and standards. It is 
imperative that individuals detained in ICE-owned or -
contracted facilities be provided the highest levels of care, 
including medical care, and treatment. The Committee is 
encouraged that ICE has begun this effort by reviewing its 
detention standards and placing an ICE officer in the 50 
largest contract detention facilities. This was one of the 
recommendations in the October 6, 2009, Immigration Detention 
Overview and Recommendations report. The Committee notes that 
no funds were requested in the budget to implement these 
recommendations and the Committee encourages that, to the 
extent ICE intends to act on these recommendations, sufficient 
funds be included in the fiscal year 2012 request to do so. The 
Committee also encourages ICE to consider creating an ombudsman 
to independently investigate complaints about detainee 
treatment in detention facilities.

            DETENTION AND REMOVAL--ALTERNATIVES TO DETENTION

    The Committee recommends a total of $72,075,000, 181 
positions, and 182 FTE, as requested in the budget. The 
Committee encourages ICE to prioritize enrollment of families 
with children in this program, to continue to use intensive 
supervision, and directs ICE to brief the Committee 
semiannually on the program beginning no later than 60 days 
after the date of enactment of this act.
    The Committee is disappointed that the Department has yet 
to submit the report on collection of data on deportation of 
parents of U.S.-born children which was due July 1, 2010, as 
mandated in the joint explanatory statement accompanying Public 
Law 111-83, and directs that it be submitted immediately.
    The Committee is aware that concerns have been raised in 
the past about techniques used to determine the age of 
unaccompanied alien children who are in ICE custody. The 
Department of Homeland Security Inspector General reported on 
current ICE practices (OIG-10-12 Nov 2009). While some have 
suggested using ``holistic age-determination methodologies'', 
the OIG noted that the Trafficking Victims Protection and 
Reauthorization Act of 2008 [TVPRA] does not require the 
adoption of such an approach, nor does guidance released in 
March 2009 by the Department of Health and Human Services. In 
order to determine what such an approach might consist of, the 
OIG conducted interviews with medical professionals, including 
representatives of medical centers and universities as well as 
immigrants' rights advocates. They ``were not aware of a 
specific holistic approach to age determinations''. 
Additionally, the OIG noted that further guidance signed by the 
acting director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement and 
informed by the TVPRA permits the nonexclusive use of 
radiographs for age determination. The Committee encourages ICE 
to comply with the direction provided by the OIG's report.

           DETENTION AND REMOVAL--TRANSPORTATION AND REMOVAL

    Included in the amount recommended by the Committee is 
$294,632,000, as requested in the budget, for all ICE-related 
transportation and removal activities.

               DETENTION AND REMOVAL--FUGITIVE OPERATIONS

    Included in the amount recommended by the Committee is 
$168,449,000, 677 positions, and 677 FTE, as requested in the 
budget. The National Fugitive Operations Program is responsible 
for reducing the fugitive alien population in the United 
States. As of May 31, 2010, ICE estimates that there are 
approximately 512,869 immigration fugitives in the United 
States, a decrease of more than 119,800 since October 2006. ICE 
works to reduce the population of these fugitives from the law 
through the use of Fugitive Operations teams. All 104 Fugitive 
Operations teams are operational and conducting enforcement 
operations. Funds associated with detention beds are provided 
in the ``Custody Operations'' account.

             DETENTION AND REMOVAL--CRIMINAL ALIEN PROGRAM

    Included in the amount recommended by the Committee is 
$179,317,000, 945 positions, and 942 FTE, as requested in the 
budget. ICE is funded for 126 Criminal Alien Program teams and 
in fiscal year 2009 it charged over 217,000 aliens in jails. 
Funds associated with detention beds are provided in the 
``Custody Operations'' account.

                           SECURE COMMUNITIES

    The Committee recommends $146,943,000, 552 positions, and 
552 FTE, as requested. Congress initiated this program in 
fiscal year 2008 and has provided total new funding of 
$550,000,000 over the past 3 years. Secure Communities focuses 
on interoperability, using biometrics to ensure that any 
individual booked into a jail or other facility is indeed who 
he or she claims to be and also is able to determine, by 
running fingerprints against the IDENT and IAFIS databases, the 
immigration status of the individual. It is important to 
remember that Secure Communities is applied to everyone booked 
into a jail. All individuals are treated the same and no 
profiling occurs. Through the use of biometrics, ICE is able to 
determine not only immigration status, but also if the 
individual has committed more serious crimes in the past (so 
while they are booked on what appears to be a lower level 
crime, Secure Communities is able to determine the entirety of 
an alien's criminal history).
    The Committee is pleased that the administration has 
embraced this program as one of many tools at its disposal to 
identify and remove illegal aliens, including criminal aliens, 
and otherwise enforce our Nation's existing immigration laws. 
In fiscal year 2010, Secure Communities expanded coverage to 
establish biometric identification of arrested criminal aliens 
in more than 180 counties. Secure Communities' threat-based 
deployment schedule prioritizes those counties with the highest 
threat criminal alien populations first, consisting primarily 
of counties in major metropolitan areas throughout the country 
as well as all counties along the southwest border. In fiscal 
years 2007 through 2009, 352,565 criminal aliens were removed. 
Secure Communities estimates that after deploying to the 
additional counties funded in this request, ICE will cover more 
than 84 percent of the Nation's criminal alien population. The 
Department anticipates that, with continued funding, including 
redeployment of existing resources, it will establish biometric 
identification of arrested criminal aliens in all counties that 
are willing and technically able to participate by the end of 
fiscal year 2012.
    The Committee has included bill language, as requested, 
ensuring that all illegal aliens encountered when enforcing our 
immigration laws are apprehended. The Committee also directs 
ICE to continue to provide quarterly briefings on progress 
being made in implementing the Secure Communities program. The 
briefings shall include Secure Communities' impact on removals 
reporting at the level of detail of the quarterly detention and 
removals report. The first briefing should occur no later than 
45 days after the date of enactment of this act.

                    DETENTION AND REMOVAL REPORTING

    The Committee continues to request ICE to submit a 
quarterly report to the Committee which compares the number of 
deportation, exclusion, and removal orders sought and obtained 
by ICE. The report should be broken down: by district in which 
the removal order was issued; by type of order (deportation, 
exclusion, removal, expedited removal, and others); by agency 
issuing the order; by the number of cases in each category in 
which ICE has successfully removed the alien; and by the number 
of cases in each category in which ICE has not removed the 
alien. The first fiscal year 2011 quarterly report is to be 
submitted no later than January 15, 2011.

                  TRAINING REGARDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    ICE plays a critical role in investigating criminal 
organizations trafficking individuals into the United States. 
The Committee encourages ICE to work with appropriate nonprofit 
organizations and victim service providers to improve the 
training of ICE officers in the field to assist in the 
identification of human trafficking victims and provide 
appropriate referrals to victim service organizations.

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $90,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      84,700,000
Committee recommendation................................      84,700,000

    The Automation Modernization account provides funds for 
major information technology [IT] projects for U.S. Immigration 
and Customs Enforcement [ICE], including the Atlas Program, 
modernization of TECS (formerly known as the Traveler 
Enforcement and Compliance System), modernization of Detention 
and Removal Operations' IT systems for tracking detainees [DRO 
Modernization], and other systems.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends a total of $84,700,000, as 
requested. These funds are to remain available until expended. 
The Committee includes bill language making $10,000,000 
available upon the submission of an expenditure plan.
    The Committee also continues the requirement for semiannual 
briefings on this activity.

                              CONSTRUCTION

Appropriations, 2010....................................      $4,818,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................................
Committee recommendation................................................

    This appropriation provides funding to plan, construct, 
renovate, equip, and maintain buildings and facilities 
necessary for the administration and enforcement of the laws 
relating to immigration, detention, and alien registration.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee notes that the budget requests no funding for 
ICE Construction as it is reviewing the possible privatization 
of the Service Processing Centers which it owns. The Department 
intends that carryover funds within the no-year Construction 
account will be used for emergency repairs and alterations. The 
Committee also notes that not funding this account will have no 
impact on the ability of ICE to continue to detain illegal 
aliens at other locations around the country.
    The bill includes a general provision, requested in the 
budget, providing ICE with the authority to dispose of ICE-
owned facilities and retain the receipts to provide repairs and 
alterations to other facilities. Bill language is also included 
mandating that any sale or collocation of ICE-owned facilities 
will not result in a reduction of detention bedspace below 
33,400 beds and requiring 15-day notification to the 
Committees.

                 Transportation Security Administration

    The Transportation Security Administration [TSA] is charged 
with ensuring security across U.S. transportation systems, 
including aviation, railways, highways, pipelines, and 
waterways, and safeguarding the freedom of movement of people 
and commerce. Separate appropriations are provided for the 
following activities within TSA: aviation security; surface 
transportation security; transportation threat assessment and 
credentialing; transportation security support; and Federal Air 
Marshals.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends a total program level of 
$8,064,495,000 and a net of $5,673,275,000 for the activities 
of TSA for fiscal year 2011.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's

                         AVIATION SECURITY FEES

    The Congressional Budget Office, in its analysis of the 
President's budget, has re-estimated collections from existing 
aviation security fees to be $2,100,000,000 for fiscal year 
2011.

                          SCREENING OPERATIONS

    The Committee recommends $4,400,012,000 for TSA screening 
operations, $70,956,000 below the amount requested and 
$41,936,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level.

                     PRIVATIZED SCREENING AIRPORTS

    The Committee recommends $142,678,000 for privatized 
screening airports, the same amount as requested in the budget 
and $6,965,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. The reduction 
from fiscal year 2010 is associated with contract efficiencies.
    TSA is directed to approve applications for those airports 
that are seeking to participate in the screening partnership 
program [SPP] when Government estimates indicate that contract 
screening can be provided at that location in a cost-effective 
manner. TSA shall notify the Committee if the agency expects to 
spend less than the appropriated amount due to situations where 
no additional airports express interest in converting, either 
fully or partially, to privatized screening, or where airports 
currently using privatized screening convert to using Federal 
screeners. TSA shall adjust its PPA line items, and notify the 
Committee within 10 days, to account for any changes in private 
screening contracts, including new awards under the SPP, or the 
movement from privatized screening into Federal screening. The 
Committee also expects to be briefed on any proposed changes 
being considered for the SPP program.
    The Committee is aware of three additional airports in 
Montana that are interested in joining the SPP. The recommended 
funding level is sufficient to accommodate these airports, if 
selected for inclusion into the program.

  PASSENGER AND BAGGAGE SCREENER PERSONNEL, COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

    The Committee recommends $2,960,599,000 for passenger and 
baggage screener personnel, compensation, and benefits, 
$37,065,000 below the amount requested and $202,024,000 above 
the fiscal year 2010 level. The recommendation includes funding 
for pay adjustments, annualizations, the realignment of Bomb 
Appraisal Officers [BAOs] to the ``airport management and 
support'' PPA, and additional Transportation Security Officers 
[TSOs] at the checkpoint in order to support the deployment of 
advanced imaging technology [AIT] units. The request proposes 
to add 5,355 new TSOs to staff AIT units. However, TSA is 
already behind schedule in deploying AIT units funded in prior 
years and will not need to hire as many TSOs as early in the 
fiscal year as originally estimated. Therefore, the amount to 
staff AIT units is reduced by $21,000,000 below the request.
    The Committee denies the requested increase of $16,193,000 
for additional behavior detection officers [BDOs]. The 
Committee continues to be concerned with TSA's acceleration of 
the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques [SPOT] 
program without a complete assessment and validation of the 
program's effectiveness. The Government Accountability Office 
[GAO] released a critical report (GAO-10-763) on the SPOT 
program on May 14, 2010, questioning whether behavior detection 
principles can be reliably used for counterterrorism purposes. 
The Committee is also aware and supportive of TSA's plans to 
revise BDO training and airport audit protocols. The Committee 
believes TSA should focus on completing its internally driven 
changes as well as addressing GAO's recommendations before 
expanding the program further. Therefore, the Committee 
provides $215,145,000 to maintain the current level of 2,986 
BDOs. TSA shall brief the Committee no later than 60 days after 
the date of enactment of this act on its progress in these 
matters. Finally, the Committee directs the Science and 
Technology Directorate to conduct a peer reviewed study of 
efforts currently underway to validate the SPOT program.
    The bill includes a general provision rescinding 
$15,000,000 from prior-year balances resulting from savings 
associated with the completion of planned in-line explosives 
detection systems [EDS] and large unobligated balances. With 
the large influx of funding provided by ARRA and the Department 
of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, TSA is able to 
greatly expedite the deployment of in-line EDS, thereby 
permitting a reduction in personnel. In addition, TSA continues 
to carry forward large balances for staffing from year to year, 
including over $76,000,000 into fiscal year 2010. The Committee 
sees no reason for such large carry-over amounts in this PPA 
from year-to-year.

                      SCREENER TRAINING AND OTHER

    The Committee recommends $258,384,000 for screener training 
and other, $6,259,000 below the amount requested in the budget 
and $53,671,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. Funds are 
provided to support training of TSOs and other direct costs 
associated with TSO operations, such as: consumable supplies; 
checkpoint janitorial services; travel for the National 
Deployment Force; uniform allowances; hazardous materials 
disposal; and a model workforce program. The recommended amount 
includes requested adjustments for pay increases, realignment 
of BAO training costs to the ``airport management and support'' 
PPA, and consumables relating to the purchase of additional 
explosives trace detection [ETD] devices funded under the 
``checkpoint support'' PPA. The recommendation does not include 
the full request to support the training of additional TSO's 
due to the reduction made under the ``passenger and baggage 
screener, personnel, compensation and benefits'' PPA.

                           CHECKPOINT SUPPORT

    The Committee recommends $360,026,000 for checkpoint 
support, the same amount requested in the budget and 
$231,287,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. Funds are 
provided to field test and deploy equipment for passenger 
screening, carry-on baggage screening, checkpoint 
reconfiguration, electronic surveillance of checkpoints, and 
operational integration of systems. As requested, $192,200,000 
is provided to deploy an additional 503 AIT units bringing the 
total to 1,000. AIT units screen passengers for metallic and 
nonmetallic threats--including weapons, explosives, and other 
objects concealed under layers of clothing. With this increase, 
there will be an AIT unit in most Category X, I, and II 
airports. The Committee is aware of efforts by TSA to deploy 
automated target recognition [ATR] capability with AIT units in 
fiscal years 2010 and 2011. ATR displays a passenger's image as 
a stick figure on a monitor attached to an AIT unit, improving 
privacy protections and eliminating the need for private rooms 
to view AIT images. However, this technology has yet to be 
certified by TSA. As discussed below, TSA is to update the 
Committee regularly on the development of ATR, which will 
alleviate the need for remote viewing rooms.
    TSA is to work closely with local airport authorities to 
ensure that all space/facility requirements and constraints 
have been taken into consideration before AIT units are 
deployed. TSA shall provide funding for the installation of AIT 
units at screening checkpoints, including costs for normal site 
preparation; architectural and engineering drawings; electrical 
modifications; removal of small nonload bearing walls; 
installation of security glass; installation of any ancillary 
equipment; and certain shipping, rigging, and storage costs 
associated with deploying the equipment. TSA shall provide 
funding for other related terminal modifications if it is 
determined that no other design to accommodate the installation 
of the equipment is possible. The recommendation includes 
$65,473,000, as requested, for these costs.
    TSA is to brief the Committee regularly on AIT, including: 
the schedule to deploy and staff the units; progress on ATR 
development and associated funding requirements; facility 
modification costs necessary to accommodate AIT equipment at 
security checkpoints; and efforts to address concerns raised by 
GAO regarding the ability of AIT machines to detect certain 
weapons, such as the one used in the attempted attack on 
Northwest Flight 253 on December 25, 2009.
    The recommendation includes $6,000,000, as requested, for 
the Advanced Surveillance Program [ASP] at airport checkpoints. 
ASP provides enhanced remote security and surveillance 
capability, including security cameras at exit lanes and 
sterile areas. Security cameras have demonstrated to be a 
critical layer of security and the committee encourages TSA to 
ensure that the Nation's highest risk airports have working 
security cameras in place at all checkpoints and secure exits.
    The recommendation also includes an additional $39,000,000, 
as requested, to purchase more than 800 portable ETD units to 
detect residue from explosives material on passengers at lanes 
not covered by an AIT. An additional $21,000,000, as requested, 
is included under the ``screener, training, and other'' PPA for 
consumables related to these portable ETD units. Funds are also 
available, as requested, to purchase other checkpoint security 
systems, including: credential authentication; advanced 
technology; universal conveyor systems; shoe scanning devices; 
and an automated system to determine wait times.

                     SECURITY CAMERAS AT EXIT LANES

    No later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this 
act, the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security 
(Transportation Security Administration) shall submit a report 
that makes recommendations for improving the security of each 
location at an airport where passengers exit the sterile area. 
The report shall include: (1) an assessment of the differences 
in configurations of such locations; and (2) an evaluation of 
options for improving security at such locations, such as 
increasing personnel assigned to exit lanes and the use of 
technology to improve security. The report shall be submitted 
to the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on 
Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
    A general provision also is included providing for 
increased penalties for violating security regulations at 
airports.

                      EXPLOSIVES DETECTION SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommends $355,000,000 in discretionary 
appropriations for EDS procurement and installation, 
$18,832,000 below the level requested in the budget and 
$423,300,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. Pursuant to 
section 516 of Public Law 111-83, TSA is able to use recoveries 
from lapsed accounts for EDS procurement and installation. The 
reduction below the request is based on TSA's estimate that 
$30,000,000 to $50,000,000 in recoveries will be available for 
this purpose in fiscal year 2011, thus reducing the need for 
direct appropriations. An additional $250,000,000 in mandatory 
spending will be available for in-line projects from Aviation 
Security Capital Fund fee collections. TSA estimates that 12 
additional in-line projects will be funded in fiscal year 2011.
    The Committee supports TSA's efforts to complete a 
competitive procurement process for all three classes of EDS 
machines, including more rigid requirements for detection, 
lower false alarm rates, and screening. TSA shall regularly 
brief the Committee on its progress to meet this goal, 
including results from certification testing at the 
Transportation Security Laboratory and operational test and 
evaluation at selected airports. The Committee is aware of 
schedule delays that have occurred in the acquisition process. 
The briefings shall also include updates on TSA's strategy to 
avoid such delays.
    Within the funds provided, not less than 8 percent shall be 
available to procure and deploy certified EDS at medium- and 
small-sized airports. This is the amount of funding TSA 
estimates will be needed in fiscal year 2011 based on current 
airport project applications. Funding for EDS systems by 
medium- and small-sized airports reflected in these 
applications has decreased due to current economic conditions. 
TSA is to inform the Committee if these projections change. An 
additional $50,000,000 in mandatory funds is provided to small-
sized and nonhub airports pursuant to the 9/11 Act.

           EXPENDITURE PLANS FOR EDS/CHECKPOINT TECHNOLOGIES

    The Committee includes statutory language under the 
``Transportation Security Support'' appropriation restricting 
$50,000,000 from being obligated for headquarters 
administration until TSA submits to the Committee, no later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, detailed 
expenditure plans for checkpoint security and EDS 
refurbishment, procurement, and installations on an airport-by-
airport basis for fiscal year 2011. The plans shall include 
specific technologies for purchase, project timelines, a 
schedule for obligation of the funds, and a table detailing 
actual versus anticipated unobligated balances at the close of 
the fiscal year. Because the fiscal year 2010 expenditure plan 
wasn't submitted until nearly 7 months into the fiscal year, 
the Committee has increased the withholding in an effort to 
encourage timely submissions of materials necessary for robust 
and informed oversight. TSA shall frequently brief the 
Committee with updates on EDS and checkpoint expenditures, with 
an explanation of any deviation from the original plan. 
Quarterly updates are no longer required.
    The Committee does not include statutory language requested 
in the budget that would provide TSA with the authority to 
alter the Federal share of in-line baggage system projects. The 
proposed legislation is an authorizing matter and not under the 
jurisdiction of the Appropriations Committee.

   INSTALLATION OF OPTIMAL BAGGAGE SCREENING SYSTEMS AND FTE SAVINGS

    With the large influx of funding provided in this act and 
in prior appropriations acts for EDS procurement and 
installation, TSA is able to greatly expedite the deployment of 
in-line checked baggage screening systems, thereby permitting a 
reduction in personnel. For instance, by the end of fiscal year 
2010, TSA estimates that 59 airports will possess operational 
in-line EDS, with an annual savings of 2,316 FTE versus 
staffing required for their pre in-line equipment 
configuration. TSA shall continue to report to the Committees, 
in tandem with the annual budget request, on the savings 
achieved and anticipated by fiscal year from the installation 
new in-line systems.

 AIRPORTS THAT HAVE INCURRED ELIGIBLE COSTS FOR IN-LINE BAGGAGE SYSTEM 
                               DEPLOYMENT

    As required by the 9/11 Act, TSA is to give funding 
consideration to airports that incurred eligible costs for EDS 
and that were not recipients of funding agreements. The fiscal 
year 2011 EDS expenditure plan shall identify airports eligible 
for funding pursuant to section 1604(b)(2) of Public Law 110-53 
and funding, if any, allocated to reimburse those airports.
    The Committee is aware of several airports that have 
incurred costs to procure and install EDS with the expectation 
of reimbursement from TSA. The Committee strongly encourages 
TSA to establish a reimbursement program with the authority 
provided by the 9/11 Act.

             SCREENING TECHNOLOGY MAINTENANCE AND UTILITIES

    The Committee recommends $323,325,000 for screening 
technology maintenance and utilities, $8,800,000 below the 
amount requested in the budget and $6,700,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 level. The recommendation does not include 
$8,800,000, as requested, for maintenance of new AIT units. 
This amount is no longer necessary in fiscal year 2011 due to 
TSA's re-negotiation of warranty contracts from 1 year to 2 
years

                         OPERATION INTEGRATION

    Funding for operation integration is included within the 
``checkpoint support'' and ``EDS procurement and installation'' 
PPAs as requested. Funds are provided to test, evaluate, and 
analyze pre-production or production representative systems 
under realistic conditions, including operation by those who 
will use the equipment in the field in a variety of 
environmental conditions.

              AVIATION SECURITY DIRECTION AND ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee recommends $1,090,537,000 for aviation 
direction and enforcement, $1,611,000 above the amount 
requested in the budget and $234,573,000 above the fiscal year 
2010 level.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels:

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

               AVIATION REGULATION AND OTHER ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee recommends $368,363,000 for aviation 
regulation and other enforcement, the same level as requested 
in the budget and $114,299,000 above the fiscal year 2010 
level. The recommended amount provides for law enforcement and 
regulatory activities at airports to: ensure compliance with 
required security measures, respond to security incidents, and 
provide international support for worldwide security 
requirements. The recommendation includes amounts requested to 
maintain current services and $111,873,000 in program 
increases. Program increases include: $38,844,000 to strengthen 
international programs in high-risk areas around the world; 
$69,149,000 for 275 proprietary canine teams to strengthen 
explosives detection capabilities; and $3,880,000 to increase 
the stipend for the cooperative agreements to State and local 
canine teams. TSA is to brief the Committee on its progress to 
implement these new initiatives no later than 90 days after the 
date of enactment of this act.

                     AIRPORT MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT

    The Committee recommends $574,926,000 for airport 
management and support, $2,389,000 below the amount requested 
in the budget and $121,002,000 above the fiscal year 2010 
level. Funds are provided for: the workforce to support TSA 
Federal security directors; BAOs; Explosives Security 
Specialists; the Transportation Security Operations Center; 
airport rent and furniture; a vehicle fleet; airport parking; 
and employee transit benefits. The recommended amount includes 
the requested transfer of funding for BAOs from the ``passenger 
and baggage screener personnel, compensation, and benefits'' 
PPA and Explosives Security Specialists from the Federal Air 
Marshals ``management and administration'' PPA. This shift is 
appropriate as these employees report directly to Federal 
Security Directors. An additional $22,500,000, as requested, is 
provided for remote viewing rooms for AIT images. As noted 
under the ``checkpoint support'' PPA, the Committee is aware of 
efforts to develop and certify an automatic target recognition 
feature, which would alleviate the need for remote viewing 
rooms. TSA is to update the Committee regularly on the 
development of this technology.
    The recommendation does not include the full request to 
support the hiring of additional TSO's due to the reduction 
made under the ``passenger and baggage screener, personnel, 
compensation, and benefits'' PPA.

     FEDERAL FLIGHT DECK OFFICER AND FLIGHT CREW TRAINING PROGRAMS

    The Committee recommends $25,694,000 for Federal flight 
deck officer and flight crew training programs, the same amount 
as requested in the budget and $567,000 above the fiscal year 
2010 level. Funds are provided to deputize qualified airline 
pilots who volunteer to be Federal law enforcement officers. 
This program provides initial and recurrent law enforcement 
training. Funds are also provided for the Crew Member Self-
Defense Training program for the purpose of teaching crew 
members basic self-defense concepts and techniques.

                               AIR CARGO

    The Committee recommends $121,554,000 for air cargo 
security activities, an increase of $4,000,000 above the amount 
requested in the budget and $1,295,000 below the fiscal year 
2010 level. Funds are provided to secure the air cargo supply 
chain, conveyances, and people. The recommended amount includes 
the request to annualize 50 inspectors funded in fiscal year 
2010 and increase cooperative agreement stipends with State and 
local canine teams. TSA is to continue regular air cargo 
briefings on compliance with the 100 percent screening mandate 
scheduled to take effect by August 2010. The briefings shall 
also discuss progress made to increase screening of 
international inbound cargo, including efforts to make use of 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection's automated targeting system 
to conduct risk screening on international inbound cargo on 
passenger aircraft. The additional $4,000,000 recommended above 
the request is to accelerate these efforts in fiscal year 2011.
    The Committee acknowledges TSA's ongoing efforts to assist 
the fresh fruit industry to comply with new cargo scanning 
requirements. Several screening systems suitable for fresh 
fruit have been added to the Air Cargo Screening Technology 
List. The Committee encourages TSA to continue these efforts 
and expedite the approval of effective and suitable 
technologies for screening of air cargo commodities.
    The Committee includes statutory language under the 
``Transportation Security Support'' appropriation restricting 
$50,000,000 from being obligated for headquarters 
administration until TSA submits to the Committee, no later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, an 
expenditure plan on the allocation of air cargo funds, 
including carryover balances. Because the fiscal year 2010 
expenditure plan wasn't submitted until 8 months into the 
fiscal year, the Committee has increased the withholding in an 
effort to encourage timely submission of materials necessary 
for robust and informed oversight.
    A general provision is included in the bill directing TSA 
to continue to report quarterly on air cargo screening 
statistics. In addition, the provision requires TSA to provide 
an implementation plan for meeting the 100 percent screening 
mandate if the August 2010 deadline is not met. The Committee 
directs TSA to take all possible measures to ensure air 
carriers are submitting data consistent with current security 
directives, including enforcement action for noncompliance.

                           PERIMETER SECURITY

    Airports continue to face a wide range of risks beyond well 
known threats at passenger and baggage screening checkpoints. 
The Committee is concerned that no funding has been requested 
to address the many specific security concerns that have been 
identified by GAO involving commercial airport perimeters. 
While the Committee is pleased that previously appropriated 
funding for this purpose has now been obligated, it is unclear 
what TSA's long-term plan is to address perimeter security 
vulnerabilities. Therefore, the Committee directs TSA to 
provide a report to the Committee no later than 90 days after 
the date of enactment of this act that: (1) describes what 
actions to date TSA has taken to secure commercial airport 
perimeters; (2) provides a timeline and cost estimate to deploy 
and support qualified perimeter security systems at the 100 
most vulnerable commercial airports as identified by TSA and 
remaining commercial airports; and (3) outlines a timeline to 
implement perimeter security requirements either through an 
acquisition program or by regulation.

                    SURFACE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $110,516,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     137,558,000
Committee recommendation................................     137,558,000

    Surface transportation security provides funding for 
personnel and operational resources to assess the risk of a 
terrorist attack on nonaviation modes, standards, and 
procedures to address those risks, and to ensure compliance 
with established regulations and policies.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $137,558,000 for surface 
transportation security, the same amount as requested in the 
budget and $27,042,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. Funds 
are available to assess the risk of terrorist attacks for all 
nonaviation transportation modes, issue regulations to improve 
the security of those modes, and enforce regulations to ensure 
the protection of the transportation system. In addition to 
amounts provided for surface transporation security under this 
heading, the Committee has provided $350,000,000 for rail, 
transit, and bus security grants under the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency's ``State and Local Programs'' appropriation. 
The following table summarizes the Committee's recommendations 
as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget request levels:

        SURFACE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY STAFFING AND OPERATIONS

    The Committee recommends $39,947,000 for surface 
transportation security staffing and operations, the same 
amount as requested in the budget and $2,346,000 below the 
fiscal year 2010 level.

         SURFACE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY INSPECTORS AND CANINES

    The Committee recommends $97,611,000 for surface 
transportation security inspectors and canines, the same amount 
as requested in the budget and $29,388,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 level. Funds are included for the annualization of 15 
Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response [VIPR] teams and 100 
additional surface transportation security inspectors funded in 
fiscal year 2010, and an increase for cooperative agreement 
stipends with State and local canine teams.

           TRANSPORTATION THREAT ASSESSMENT AND CREDENTIALING

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $171,999,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     173,724,000
Committee recommendation................................     147,224,000

    Transportation threat assessment and credentialing includes 
several TSA credentialing programs: Secure Flight, Crew 
Vetting, Screening Administration and Operations, Registered 
Traveler, Transportation Worker Identification Credential, 
Hazardous Materials Commercial Drivers License Endorsement 
Program, and Alien Flight School.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends a direct appropriation of 
$147,224,000 for transportation threat assessment and 
credentialing, $26,500,000 below the amount requested in the 
budget and $24,775,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. In 
addition, an estimated $41,220,000 in fee collections is 
available for these activities in fiscal year 2011, as proposed 
in the budget.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels:

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

                             SECURE FLIGHT

    The Committee recommends $84,637,000 for Secure Flight, the 
same amount as requested in the budget and $274,000 above the 
fiscal year 2010 level. As recommended by the 9/11 Commission 
and mandated by the Intelligence Reform Act, this program moves 
the responsibility of airline passenger watch list matching 
from the air carriers to the Federal Government. All passengers 
traveling within the United States and its territories are now 
being checked against terrorist watchlist data through Secure 
Flight. TSA expects all international carriers with direct 
flights to and from the United States to begin using Secure 
Flight by the end of calendar year 2010. If delays occur in 
meeting this schedule, TSA shall brief the Committee on the 
reasons why.
    The bill includes a provision requiring the Assistant 
Secretary of Homeland Security [TSA] to certify no significant 
security risks are raised if the Secure Flight program checks 
airline passenger names against a subset of the full terrorist 
watchlist instead of the full terrorist watchlist.

                    CREW AND OTHER VETTING PROGRAMS

    The Committee recommends $62,587,000 for Crew and Other 
Vetting Programs, $26,500,000 below the amount requested in the 
budget and $25,049,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level.
    The Committee recommendation includes funds to annualize 
personnel provided in fiscal year 2010 to support vetting 
infrastructure improvements and pay related adjustments.
    The Committee supports TSA's efforts to modernize its 
vetting and credentialing infrastructure, which is currently 
made up of disconnected and duplicative systems. This has 
resulted in high system complexity and lengthy adjudication 
processes due to manual reviews. TSA intends to modernize its 
system to address these issues and improve vetting and 
credentialing services. However, following the budget 
submission, the Department's Acquisition Review Board required 
TSA to change its acquisition strategy to include full and open 
competition for this modernization effort. This new acquisition 
strategy requires less development funding in fiscal year 2011 
than originally budgeted. Therefore, the Committee 
recommendation includes $31,300,000 instead of $57,800,000 
requested in the budget. With carryover funding, nearly 
$70,000,000 is available for this effort in fiscal year 2011. 
TSA is to brief the Committee quarterly on its efforts to 
develop this system.

                    TRANSPORTATION SECURITY SUPPORT

Appropriations, 2010....................................  $1,001,780,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................   1,052,369,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,047,929,000

    The transportation security support account supports the 
operational needs of TSA's extensive airport/field personnel 
and infrastructure. Transportation security support includes: 
headquarters' personnel, pay, benefits and support; 
intelligence; mission support centers; human capital services; 
and information technology support.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,047,929,000 for transportation 
security support activities, $4,440,000 below the amount 
requested in the budget and $46,149,000 above the fiscal year 
2010 level.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget

                      HEADQUARTERS ADMINISTRATION

    The Committee recommends $269,774,000 for headquarters 
administration, $1,625,000 below the amount requested in the 
budget and $20,845,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. 
Adjustments are included for pay, annualization of positions 
added in fiscal year 2010, and other technical realignments as 
proposed in the budget.
    The recommended amount includes an increase of $19,987,000, 
$1,625,000 below the amount proposed in the budget, to increase 
the number of TSA covert teams to directly support security at 
the checkpoint; background investigations of new TSOs; 
positions to support acquisition decisions, security 
directives, and regulatory and rulemaking issues; and 
additional personnel to enhance the DHS Traveler Redress 
Inquiry Program.
    TSA shall continue semi-annual briefings on covert testing 
activities.
    Recent findings by the DHS Inspector General in report OIG-
10-72 found that TSA ``did not have an adequate number of 
properly trained core acquisition staff to administer contracts 
and oversee support services contractors' performance.'' 
Further, the report concluded that TSA ``did not have 
reasonable assurance that contractors were performing as 
required, that it contracted for the services it needed, that 
it received the services it paid for, or that taxpayers were 
receiving the best value.'' TSA's briefing on its fiscal year 
2012 budget request shall include an update on compliance with 
the recommendations made in the report, including the agency's 
review of inherently governmental functions and efforts to 
strengthen contracting officer's technical representatives 
[COTR] training.
    The Committee includes bill language withholding the 
obligation of $50,000,000 for headquarters administration 
until: fiscal year 2011 expenditure plans for air cargo 
security, explosives detection systems procurement and 
installation, and checkpoint support are provided to the 
Committee. The expenditure plans are due no later than 60 days 
after the date of enactment of this act.

                         INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

    The Committee recommends $479,685,000 for information 
technology, $750,000 below the amount requested in the budget 
and $18,625,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. The 
recommendation includes adjustments as requested for pay 
inflation; annualization of fiscal year 2010 funding; a 
reduction of one-time costs for data center migration; a 
realignment of funds to the ``human capital services'' PPA; 
additional funding for wireless communications technology to 
support the deployment of AIT units; and other information 
technology costs related to the fiscal year 2011 TSO staffing 
increase. The recommendation does not include the full request 
to support the hiring of additional TSOs due to the reduction 
made under the ``passenger and baggage screener, personnel, 
compensation and benefits'' PPA.

                         HUMAN CAPITAL SERVICES

    The Committee recommends $260,682,000 for human capital 
services, $2,065,000 below the amount requested in the budget 
and $34,344,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. The 
recommendation includes adjustments as requested for pay 
inflation, annualization of fiscal year 2010 funding, and a 
realignment of funds from the ``information technology'' PPA. 
Funds are also provided for recruitment and servicing of new 
TSOs and support staff hired in response to the evolving 
threats to transportation security. The recommendation does not 
include the full request to support the hiring of additional 
TSOs due to the reduction made under the ``passenger and 
baggage screener, personnel, compensation and benefits'' PPA.

                              INTELLIGENCE

    The Committee recommends $37,788,000 for the Office of 
Intelligence, the same amount as requested in the budget and 
$9,585,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. The recommendation 
includes requested adjustments for pay, annualization of 
intelligence positions added in fiscal year 2010, and 
realignment of personnel from the ``headquarters 
administration'' PPA. The recommendation also includes 
$6,620,000 to expand the Field Intelligence Officer program by 
31 positions and communications equipment, as requested.

                RISK-BASED DECISIONMAKING AND BUDGETING

    The Government Accountability Office has criticized TSA for 
not having a risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis, or 
performance measures to guide funding decisions. Given the 
significant investments made for TSA activities, it is 
critically important that this work be completed. In the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Homeland 
Security Appropriations Act, 2009 (signed into law on September 
30, 2008), the Committee required TSA to complete a 
comprehensive risk analysis and its impact on resource 
allocations. Unfortunately, the first report was not submitted 
until 9 months into fiscal year 2010. The Committee expects 
future reports to be on time as detailed in Senate Report 110-
396.

                          FEDERAL AIR MARSHALS

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $860,111,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     950,015,000
Committee recommendation................................     950,015,000

    The Federal Air Marshals [FAMs] protect the air 
transportation system against terrorist threats, sabotage, and 
other acts of violence. The FAMs account provides funds for the 
salaries, benefits, travel, training, and other expenses of the 
program.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $950,015,000, the same amount as 
requested in the budget and $89,904,000 above the fiscal year 
2010 level. The recommendation includes the requested increase 
to sustain domestic flight coverage while maintaining the 
enhanced international flight coverage initiated in response to 
the failed terrorist attack on December 25, 2009. In order to 
facilitate the ability to place Federal Air Marshals on 
international flights to the United States that may be carrying 
``selectees'', report language is included within Departmental 
Operations encouraging the Secretary to negotiate with the 
relevant foreign governments to permit rapid Federal Air 
Marshal deployments to/from such countries.
    TSA is delinquent in complying with the directive to 
reassess the long-term staffing needs of FAMs. This report 
shall be submitted promptly.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels:

                              Coast Guard


                                SUMMARY

    The Coast Guard's primary responsibilities are the 
enforcement of all applicable Federal laws on the high seas and 
waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States; 
promotion of safety of life and property at sea; assistance to 
navigation; protection of the marine environment; and 
maintenance of a state of readiness to function as a 
specialized service in the Navy in time of war, as authorized 
by sections 1 and 2 of title 14, United States Code.
    The Commandant of the Coast Guard reports directly to the 
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends a total program level of 
$10,400,318,000 for the activities of the Coast Guard for 
fiscal year 2011. The Committee adamantly rejects the 
administration's funding proposal to reduce the Coast Guard's 
capacity and capability to secure U.S. ports, intercept illegal 
migrants, interdict drug smugglers, save lives, and perform its 
other important missions. This ill-advised proposal, if 
approved, would unnecessarily expand mission gaps, exacerbate 
known vulnerabilities, and reduce 1,112 Coast Guard billets. 
The request would erode the Coast Guard's ability to respond to 
events, such as the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the 
ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Committee 
recommendation includes a targeted funding increase above the 
request to maintain key assets, retain personnel, and replace 
aging assets.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels:

\1\The President's budget request includes a transfer of $254,461,000 from ``Operation and Maintenance, Navy''
  for overseas contingency operations.

    The Coast Guard will pay an estimated $265,321,000 in 
fiscal year 2011 to the Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care 
Fund for the costs of military Medicare-eligible health 
benefits earned by its uniformed service members. The 
contribution is funded by permanent indefinite discretionary 
authority pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act 
for fiscal year 2005 (Public Law 108-375).

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010....................................  $6,805,391,000
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................   6,650,950,000
Committee recommendation................................   6,970,681,000

\1\The President's budget request includes a transfer of $254,461,000 
from ``Operation and Maintenance, Navy'' for overseas contingency 
operations

    The Operating Expenses appropriation provides funds for the 
operation and maintenance of multipurpose vessels, aircraft, 
and shore units strategically located along the coasts and 
inland waterways of the United States and in selected areas 
overseas. The program activities of this appropriation fall 
into the following categories:
    Search and Rescue.--As one of its earliest and most 
traditional missions, the Coast Guard maintains a nationwide 
system of boats, aircraft, cutters, and rescue coordination 
centers on 24-hour alert.
    Aids to Navigation.--To help mariners determine their 
location and avoid accidents, the Coast Guard maintains a 
network of manned and unmanned aids to navigation along the 
Nation's coasts and on its inland waterways. In addition, the 
Coast Guard operates radio stations in the United States and 
abroad to serve the needs of the armed services and marine and 
air commerce.
    Marine Safety.--The Coast Guard ensures compliance with 
Federal statutes and regulations designed to improve safety in 
the merchant marine industry and operates a recreational 
boating safety program.
    Marine Environmental Protection.--The primary objectives of 
the marine environmental protection program are to minimize the 
dangers of marine pollution and to assure the safety of ports 
and waterways.
    Enforcement of Laws and Treaties.--The Coast Guard is the 
principal maritime enforcement agency with regard to Federal 
laws on the navigable waters of the United States and the high 
seas, including fisheries, drug smuggling, illegal immigration, 
and hijacking of vessels.
    Ice Operations.--In the Arctic and Antarctic, Coast Guard 
icebreakers escort supply ships, support research activities 
and Department of Defense operations, survey uncharted waters, 
and collect scientific data. The Coast Guard also assists 
commercial vessels through ice-covered waters.
    Defense Readiness.--During peacetime, the Coast Guard 
maintains an effective state of military preparedness to 
operate as a service in the Navy in time of war or national 
emergency at the direction of the President. As such, the Coast 
Guard has primary responsibility for the security of ports, 
waterways, and navigable waters up to 200 miles offshore.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $6,970,681,000 for Coast Guard 
Operating Expenses, including $24,500,000 from the Oil Spill 
Liability Trust Fund and $594,461,000 for Coast Guard defense-
related activities. Of this amount, the Committee recommends 
not to exceed $20,000 for official reception and representation 
expenses.
    The recommended amount is $319,731,000 above the request 
and $165,290,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level.

\1\The President's budget includes a transfer of $254,461,000 from ``Operation and Maintenance, Navy'' for
  overseas contingency operations.

                    OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS

    The Committee provides $254,461,000 for Coast Guard 
operations in support of overseas contingency operations 
requirements. While funding for these activities was requested 
in the Department of Defense budget for the Navy, the Committee 
adopted a practice beginning in the fiscal year 2009 
Supplemental Appropriations Act to appropriate these amounts 
directly to the Coast Guard. The Committee continues this 
practice and urges the administration to budget for Coast Guard 
overseas contingency operations under the Department of 
Homeland Security in future budget requests. The Coast Guard 
shall brief the Committee no later than September 10, 2010, on 
any changes expected during fiscal year 2011 on its mission in 
Iraq.

                   GULF OF MEXICO OIL SPILL RESPONSE

    The Coast Guard has been responding to the oil spill in the 
Gulf of Mexico since the day the Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit 
Deepwater Horizon exploded. British Petroleum and any other 
responsible party under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 are 
legally charged with paying for the cost of the response and 
damages that result from the oil spill and must reimburse any 
funds expended by any entity receiving funds within this act in 
response to the oil spill. The large deployments of personnel, 
cutters, and aircraft from operational commands nationwide have 
exacerbated the Coast Guard's readiness challenges and put at 
risk its ability to execute statutory missions, including 
responding to future disasters. In a 3-month period, nearly 
2,400 Coast Guard personnel (5 percent of its workforce) have 
deployed for extended durations to the Gulf in response to the 
Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This personnel surge has created 
gaps in key leadership positions around the Nation as Sector 
Commanders, Deputies, and Flag Officers have deployed to the 
Gulf of Mexico. The 17 cutters on-scene supporting clean-up 
efforts have suffered 77 equipment related failures to date, 
damaging an already fragile fleet. Because of this surge in 
personnel, cutters, and aircraft, the Coast Guard has scaled 
back efforts in other mission areas such as facility 
inspections, law enforcement, and aids to navigation. The 
Committee expects this situation to be properly monitored and 
encourages the President to address any Coast Guard 
requirements as soon as possible to deal with its long-term 
presence in the Gulf of Mexico. Further, the Secretary is to 
devise a plan to minimize the diversion of personnel and assets 
from critical Coast Guard sectors and districts nationwide.

                    REDUCTION IN CONTRACTOR RELIANCE

    The Committee supports the Coast Guard's efforts to reduce 
its reliance on contractors. The recommended level includes a 
reduction of $14,500,000, as requested, in savings resulting 
from the insourcing of professional services contracts to 
Government service. The Committee is to be briefed on the Coast 
Guard's plans to achieve these savings no later than 60 days 
after the date of enactment of this act.

                         ASSET DECOMMISSIONINGS

    The budget request proposes to decommission 19 different 
assets including surface, air, and Maritime Safety and Security 
Teams [MSSTs]. The Committee recommendation partially denies 
the request by continuing $13,460,000 and 368 positions for two 
High Endurance Cutters [HECs], $5,503,000 and 68 positions for 
five HH-65 helicopters, and $21,811,000 and 440 positions for 
five MSSTs. This recommendation is consistent with the unfunded 
priorities listed by the Coast Guard Commandant during 
testimony before the Committee on April 13, 2010. Changes from 
the President's request are described below.
    High Endurance Cutters.--Legacy HECs, with an average age 
of 42 years, require significant maintenance budgets to 
sustain. The Committee has supported efforts to replace these 
assets through the acquisition of National Security Cutters 
[NSCs] and has appropriated over $2,431,000,000 for this effort 
to date. Two NSCs are anticipated to be operational by 2011, 
thereby allowing the Coast Guard to begin retiring its HEC 
fleet. However, the request proposes to retire four HECs with 
only two NSCs to replace them. This decision would limit the 
Coast Guard's ability to perform drug and illegal migrant 
interdiction, fisheries enforcement, and other missions 
requiring the sea-keeping capabilities of an HEC. Therefore, 
the recommendation allows for the decommissioning of two HECs, 
instead of four as requested in the budget, saving 3,330 cutter 
hours that otherwise would have been cut.
    Rotary Wing Capacity.--The Committee denies the proposal to 
decommission five HH-65 helicopters from active service and 
close two seasonal air facilities in Muskegon, Michigan, and 
Waukegan, Illinois. The proposal is dependent on four HH-60 
helicopters being permanently relocated to Coast Guard Station 
Traverse City, Michigan. Subsequent to the request, one of the 
HH-60 helicopters, proposed for transfer, crashed and is no 
longer operable. In addition, two other HH-65 helicopters and 
one additional HH-60 helicopter have been lost in recent 
accidents. As a result of these incidents, the budget request 
cannot be executed as proposed without a detrimental impact to 
other Coast Guard locations. Further, given the Coast Guard's 
significant rotary wing mission hour gap, it makes little sense 
to decommission five aircraft from a fleet that has been 
recently re-engined to increase aircraft performance.
    The helicopters stationed at the air facilities in 
Muskegon, Michigan, and Waukegan, Illinois, are critical to the 
safety of Great Lakes mariners and recreational users. The 
Coast Guard is to work with the Committee on the future 
missions of these air facilities.
    Maritime Safety and Security Teams [MSSTs].--The Committee 
denies the request to eliminate 5 of 12 MSSTs. These teams were 
created pursuant to the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 
2002 to enhance the Coast Guard's port security posture. These 
teams are designed to be a rapid response force in the event of 
a terrorist attack in a maritime environment. They provide 
protection of critical infrastructure, conduct law enforcement 
operations, and provide force protection of Department of 
Defense outloads. In addition, MSSTs are deployed to support 
security at National Special Security Events and to respond to 
disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon 
oil spill. During fiscal year 2009, MSSTs were deployed 235 
times for over 2,500 days. Decommissioning five MSSTs would 
severely reduce the Coast Guard security presence in our 
critical ports and present greater demands to ensure optimal 
and expedient mobilization during an emerging incident.
    No later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this 
act, the Coast Guard is to brief the Committee on the results 
of its comprehensive analysis of the MSST program, as 
recommended in the OIG report (OIG-10-89).

                         NORTH PACIFIC PATROLS

    The President's budget request, which proposes to 
decommission four High Endurance Cutters [HECs] and one Medium 
Endurance Cutter, does not include sufficient resources to 
adequately patrol the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, and the 
Aleutian Islands. The recommendation includes $13,460,000 and 
368 positions to continue operations, crewing, and maintenance 
of two of the four HECs proposed to be decommissioned, which 
will enable the Coast Guard to maintain current major cutter 
patrol presence and response in the operational areas described 
above.

                      LAW ENFORCEMENT DETACHMENTS

    The Committee recommends an increase of $3,609,000 for the 
Law Enforcement Detachment [LEDET] program, as requested. 
LEDETs are used in the maritime environment for drug 
interdiction and security operations. This investment addresses 
a rise in the demand for these units by expanding the size of 
each of the 17 existing LEDET teams from 11 to 12 personnel and 
creates a new 12-person LEDET. This also strengthens the Coast 
Guard's maritime narcotics interdiction capacity, specifically 
by supporting Combatant Commanders and counter-drug operations 
in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.

                       MARINE SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS

    The administration's request to cut active-duty personnel 
by nearly 3 percent would leave the Coast Guard less able to 
prevent and respond to catastrophes such as the ongoing oil 
spill in the Gulf of Mexico. To meet the challenges of a 
growing maritime industry, more inspectors and investigators 
are needed to assist in the protection of the environment and 
natural resources. The recommendation includes $20,000,000 more 
than the budget request to improve the Coast Guard's capacity 
and competencies in its Marine Safety workforce, adding 176 
positions to improve regulation, enforcement, and compliance of 
the maritime industry, including the offshore oil industry. 
This initiative will strengthen the Coast Guard's core marine 
safety competencies with focus on standards development, 
mariner licensing and documentation, casualty investigation and 
analysis, and compliance, in accordance with the Coast Guard's 
Marine Safety Improvement Plan.

                    CRITICAL DEPOT LEVEL MAINTENANCE

    The Committee recommends $10,000,000 above the budget 
request to address the Coast Guard's critical depot level 
maintenance backlog for its aging assets. The request proposes 
to cut $45,000,000 for this purpose, which is unwise given the 
significant shore depot level maintenance backlog, shortage of 
spare parts, and an increase in mission degrading equipment 
failures to its fleet. A similar increase provided in the 
fiscal year 2009 supplemental appropriations act has paid 
significant dividends through the increased availability of 
Coast Guard high endurance cutters to support the 
administration's drug interdiction strategy.

                        NATIONAL MARITIME CENTER

    The Committee recommendation includes $17,500,000 for the 
National Maritime Center, as requested.

                       OPERATIONS SYSTEMS CENTER

    The Operations Systems Center [OSC] continues to experience 
steady growth in both the number of systems being developed and 
the number of people required to support those systems. 
Currently, over 550 Government and contractor personnel work at 
the OSC. The existing main facility space has been at capacity 
for 5 years and it will not accommodate expected growth to over 
900 staff. The planned expansion project will facilitate the 
consolidation of the current workforce from multiple satellite 
locations and temporary trailers to a permanent structure, as 
well as improve the delivery of information technology services 
through the amalgamation of software development and support 
activities dispersed throughout the Coast Guard. A prospectus 
incorporating the Coast Guard's requirements for a 
competitively awarded lease has been approved by the 
administration and forwarded to Congress for consideration. The 
Committee encourages the Coast Guard to include any required 
buildout and any other tenant related costs in the President's 
fiscal year 2012 budget request.

                   MARITIME PATROL AIRCRAFT FOLLOW-ON

    The recommendation does not include $5,504,000 requested 
for operations and maintenance [O&M] for Maritime Patrol 
Aircraft [MPA] #12. Due to MPA acquisition delays, the delivery 
of this aircraft is not expected until fiscal year 2012, 
thereby negating the need for O&M funding in fiscal year 2011.

               NATIONAL STRIKE FORCE COORDINATION CENTER

    The Committee approves the request to re-align the National 
Strike Force Coordination Center's [NSFCC] functional 
responsibilities within the Deployable Operations Group and the 
Coast Guard's Office of Incident Management and Preparedness. 
The Committee expects that the capabilities currently provided 
by the NSFCC will remain intact, including all coordination and 
support for the National Strike Force teams. The Committee is 
concerned that the Coast Guard's focus on the environmental 
response mission has been diluted by the increased demands of 
other homeland security missions. In fact, according to the 
Abstract of Operations reports submitted quarterly to the 
Committee, the Coast Guard has experienced over a 45 percent 
decrease in mission hours dedicated to the Marine Environmental 
Response mission since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 
2001. The Committee directs the Commandant to submit a 
transition plan to the Committee, including: (1) a description 
of all existing functions and capabilities of the NSFCC and 
identification of where each of those functions will be re-
aligned within either the Deployable Operations Group or the 
Office of Incident Management and Preparedness, (2) a detailed 
listing of the 17 NSFCC positions to be reassigned and 
description of how those positions will maintain dedicated 
support to the National Strike Force within their realigned 
location, and (3) identification of any personnel or resource 
gaps within the National Strike Force teams that need to be 
addressed due to this re-alignment and the increased response 
requirements incurred by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and/or 
other recent major oil and hazardous material spills.

                       AVIATION SAFETY ASSESSMENT

    Since 2008, the Coast Guard's aircraft fleet has suffered 
six serious accidents (one HC-130H, three HH-65s, and two HH-
60s). The Coast Guard has undertaken an effort to look into the 
cause of these incidents, including an evaluation of training, 
operations, and maintenance procedures. Once completed, the 
results of the assessment shall be briefed to the Committee, 
including recommended solutions to improve the safety of 
aviation operations.

                         MARINE DEBRIS REMOVAL

    Marine debris is an increasing problem that is manifesting 
itself in all U.S. waters. The Committee directs the Coast 
Guard to provide a report no later than 90 days after the date 
of enactment of this act on its activities focused on marine 
debris removal, including dedicated resources. The Committee 
encourages the Coast Guard to include sufficient resources for 
these activities in the President's annual budget submission to 
Congress.

                     FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT

    The Coast Guard shall continue to periodically brief the 
Committee on its efforts to address material weaknesses in its 
financial management enterprise that prevent accurate, 
complete, and timely financial information. These weaknesses 
have contributed to the inability of financial auditors to 
provide an unqualified opinion on the Department's balance 
sheets. The Coast Guard is to continue working with the 
Department's Office of the Chief Financial Officer on these 
efforts.

                POLAR OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE FUNDING

    The Committee notes the budget request once again does not 
transfer operating and maintenance funds for the polar 
icebreakers from the National Science Foundation [NSF] to the 
Coast Guard despite congressional direction to the contrary. 
Public Law 111-117 transfers $54,000,000 from the NSF to the 
Coast Guard for icebreaking services to cover all anticipated 
operation and maintenance costs for fiscal year 2010. For 
fiscal year 2012, the Committee expects the operating and 
maintenance budget authority and associated FTE to be included 
in the Coast Guard's budget request.
    The Coast Guard expects the Polar Star to be reactivated in 
fiscal year 2013. In keeping with the standard practice of 
crewing ships in advance to ensure appropriate training and 
readiness, fielding a crew for the Polar Star is required in 
fiscal year 2012. The Committee expects sufficient funding to 
be included in the Coast Guard's fiscal year 2012 request for 
this purpose.
    The Committee also notes that the Coast Guard's analysis of 
national mission needs in the high latitude regions has yet to 
be completed. This effort was funded in fiscal year 2009 to 
inform the national polar policy debate. The results of this 
study are to be submitted expeditiously and include projected 
assets and resources necessary to address identified 
requirements.

                            COAST GUARD YARD

    The Committee recognizes the Coast Guard Yard at Curtis 
Bay, Maryland, is a critical component of the Coast Guard's 
core logistics capability which directly supports fleet 
readiness. The Committee further recognizes the Yard has been a 
vital part of the Coast Guard's readiness and infrastructure 
for more than 100 years and believes that sufficient industrial 
work should be assigned to the Yard to maintain this 
capability.

                  NATIONAL VESSEL DOCUMENTATION CENTER

    The Committee understands that user fee collections, which 
help pay for Coast Guard activities at the National Vessel 
Documentation Center [NVDC], have fallen significantly due to 
the economic downturn. The Committee directs the Coast Guard to 
avoid any reduction in the NVDC's Government-employed or 
contract staff levels, ordinarily funded through proprietary 
receipts made available in this or any other act by reassigning 
such staff to nonfee-related Coast Guard activities.

                   REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WITHOLDING

    In an effort to encourage timely submissions to the 
Committees of materials necessary for robust and informed 
oversight, the Committee withholds $75,000,000 from obligation 
from the Coast Guard's ``Headquarters Directorates'' until the 
Quarterly Acquisition Report for the second quarter of fiscal 
year 2011, Revised Deepwater Implementation Plan, and a 
comprehensive 5-year Capital Investment Plan for fiscal years 
2012-2016 have been submitted.

                ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND RESTORATION

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $13,198,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      13,329,000
Committee recommendation................................      13,329,000

    The Environmental Compliance and Restoration account 
provides funds to address environmental problems at former and 
current Coast Guard units as required by applicable Federal, 
State, and local environmental laws and regulations. Planned 
expenditures for these funds include major upgrades to 
petroleum and regulated substance storage tanks, restoration of 
contaminated ground water and soils, remediation efforts at 
hazardous substance disposal sites, and initial site surveys 
and actions necessary to bring Coast Guard shore facilities and 
vessels into compliance with environmental laws and 
regulations.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $13,329,000 for environmental 
compliance and restoration, $131,000 above the fiscal year 2010 
level and the same as the budget request.

                            RESERVE TRAINING

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $133,632,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     135,675,000
Committee recommendation................................     135,675,000

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $135,675,000, as proposed in the 
budget, for Reserve Training. This is $2,043,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2010 level.

              ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

Appropriations, 2010....................................  $1,537,080,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................   1,381,228,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,582,578,000

    Funding in this account supports Coast Guard plans for 
fleet expansion and improvement. This funding provides for the 
acquisition, construction, and improvement [AC&I] of vessels, 
aircraft, information management resources, shore facilities, 
and aids to navigation required to execute the Coast Guard's 
missions and achieve its performance goals.
    Vessels.--The Coast Guard continues to acquire multi-
mission platforms that use advanced technology to reduce life-
cycle operating costs.
    Integrated Deepwater Systems [Deepwater].--The Deepwater 
capability replacement project is a multi-year, performance-
based acquisition that will replace or modernize the major 
Coast Guard cutters, offshore patrol boats, fixed wing 
aircraft, multi-missioned helicopters, and the communications 
equipment, sensors, and logistics systems required to maintain 
and operate them.
    Other Equipment.--The Coast Guard invests in numerous 
management information and decision support systems that will 
result in increased efficiencies, including Rescue 21 (formerly 
the National Distress and Response System Modernization 
Project), and the Nationwide Automatic Identification System.
    Shore Facilities.--The Coast Guard invests in modern 
structures that are more energy-efficient, comply with 
regulatory codes, minimize follow-on maintenance requirements, 
and replace existing dilapidated structures.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,582,578,000 for acquisitions, 
construction, and improvements, including $20,000,000 from the 
Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. The recommended amount is 
$201,350,000 above the request and $45,498,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 level.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels:

                          RESPONSE BOAT-MEDIUM

    The Committee recommends $62,000,000 for the Response Boat-
Medium [RB-M] acquisition, $20,000,000 above the budget 
request. These funds will allow the Coast Guard to purchase 19 
RB-Ms in fiscal year 2011, 9 more than requested. The RB-M is a 
critical asset for the Coast Guard to replace aging 41-foot 
Utility Boats acquired in the early 1970s and will serve as a 
platform for boardings, search and rescues, and port security. 
Recent studies have identified the lack of response boats as an 
impediment to fully implementing the Coast Guard's mission 
requirements. The Committee notes that the RB-M project 
continues to meet cost, schedule, and performance parameters.

       ICEBREAKING CAPABILITIES IN THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST

    The Coast Guard's aging fleet of nine 140-foot icebreaking 
tugs is critical to operations on the Great Lakes and Northeast 
coast. These tugs help clear shipping channels in the winter, 
and support law enforcement operations and enforce 
environmental regulations in all seasons. However, most of 
these vessels have been operating year round under taxing 
conditions for more than 30 years and are now in need of 
refurbishment to be able to sustain their high-operational 
tempo.
    The Committee provides $21,200,000 to begin a 10-year 
service life extension on all nine of the Coast Guard's 140-
foot icebreaking tugs operating in the Great Lakes and along 
the Northeast coast. Included in this amount is $8,000,000 in 
nonrecurring engineering (survey and design) costs and 
$13,200,000 for refurbishment of the first hull.

                               RESCUE 21

    The Committee provides $36,000,000 for Rescue 21, as 
requested. Rescue 21 is the Coast Guard's command, control and 
communications system to improve the ability to assist mariners 
in distress and save lives and property at sea. Rescue 21 is 
replacing the legacy National Distress and Response System and 
is being deployed in stages. As requested, funds will complete 
deployment at Sectors Detroit; Los Angeles/Long Beach; 
Honolulu; San Juan; Guam; and Buffalo. The Coast Guard is 
directed to continue quarterly briefings on the status of the 
program, including any changes to the schedule outlined in the 
request. The Committee expects funding for deployment of Rescue 
21 to the Western Rivers will be requested in the Coast Guard's 
fiscal year 2012 budget request.

               NATIONWIDE AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

    The request includes no funding for the Nationwide 
Automatic Identification System [NAIS], which is the Coast 
Guard's system to identify, track, and exchange information 
with vessels operating in or approaching U.S. waters. The Coast 
Guard estimates that deployment of the system will not be 
completed until 2015; 13 years after Congress mandated that 
vessels be equipped with automatic identification system 
technology. Currently, Coast Guard available balances for NAIS 
allow for deployment of the permanent solution (receive and 
transmit capability) to just 3 of 35 sectors. The Committee 
encourages the Coast Guard to request adequate resources in 
fiscal year 2012 to further deploy the NAIS solution to 
additional sectors. The Coast Guard is to brief the Committee 
no later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act 
on its plans for sector deployment.

                             AC&I PERSONNEL

    The Committee provides $107,561,000 for personnel and 
related support, as requested.

                           DEEPWATER FUNDING

    The Committee recommends $1,233,502,000 for Deepwater, 
$121,000,000 above the amount requested and $79,222,000 above 
the fiscal year 2010 level. Details of major procurements under 
this program and other acquisitions are provided below.

                        MARITIME PATROL AIRCRAFT

    The Committee recommends $49,000,000 for the Maritime 
Patrol Aircraft [MPA], $9,000,000 above the budget request. 
Funds are recommended for the acquisition of one aircraft 
(#15), which will provide an additional 1,200 hours to address 
the Coast Guard's MPA flight-hour gap. The amount above the 
request funds an additional mission system pallet [MSP] and 
sparing. The Coast Guard is behind schedule in producing MSPs 
for its fleet of MPAs. Closing this gap will accelerate the 
deployment of fully missionized aircraft to the field.

                       UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS

    In addition to funding included for the ship-based Unmanned 
Aircraft Systems [UAS] project in the Committee's 
recommendation for ``Research, Development, Test, and 
Evaluation,'' the Committee includes $2,000,000 in this account 
to accelerate pre-acquisition activities in accordance with the 
Coast Guard's Major Systems Acquisition Manual ``Analyze/
Select'' Phase for the ship-based UAS.

                        NATIONAL SECURITY CUTTER

    The recommendation includes $648,002,000 for the National 
Security Cutter [NSC] acquisition, $110,000,000 above the 
budget request. The Committee disagrees with the 
administration's decision to delay funding for the 6th NSC. The 
NSC program, which is already 2 years behind schedule, will be 
further delayed without additional funds. The 12 legacy cutters 
the NSC will replace are frequently out of service due to 
unscheduled maintenance requirements. These 12 cutters lose an 
average of 250 operational days per year due to unplanned 
maintenance, which is directly impacting the Coast Guard's 
ability to perform its many missions. Funds are provided to 
complete production of NSC #5, as requested, and for long lead-
time materials for NSC #6, which avoids additional project 
costs and recapitalization delays associated with a break in 
NSC production. Funding long lead-time material for NSC #6 in 
conjunction with production funding for NSC #5 is consistent 
with the Department of Homeland Security's approved Acquisition 
Program Baseline for the NSC program.
    The Committee strongly supports the procurement of one 
National Security Cutter per year until all eight planned ships 
are procured. The continuation of production without a break 
will ensure that these ships, which are vital to the Coast 
Guard's mission, are procured at the lowest cost, and that they 
enter the Coast Guard fleet as soon as possible.

                          FAST RESPONSE CUTTER

    The Committee recommends $240,000,000 for the Coast Guard's 
Fast Response Cutter [FRC], as requested. This funding will 
allow the Coast Guard to acquire four FRC hulls (9-12). The 
first FRC is scheduled for delivery in fiscal year 2011 and 
will be fully operational in fiscal year 2012. The Committee 
expects the Coast Guard to continue quarterly briefings to the 
Committee on the status of this procurement, including critical 
decision points and dates; status of service life extensions of 
the existing 110-foot patrol boats; and patrol boat operational 
metrics.

                  MEDIUM ENDURANCE CUTTER SUSTAINMENT

    The recommendation includes $30,000,000 for the Medium 
Endurance Cutter [WMEC] Sustainment Project, as requested. 
Funding will complete sustainment work on three 270-foot 
cutters. This funding is intended to improve mission 
effectiveness of these vessels to allow them to meet their 
goals for program availability through the remainder of their 
service lives. This program has been successful in 
significantly reducing the number of major equipment failures 
on these vessels resulting in a much higher percentage of time 
they are fully mission capable. The Committee is concerned that 
the total funding in the fiscal year 2011-15 Capital Investment 
Plan for the WMEC Sustainment project is $20,700,000 less than 
the project's approved Acquisition Program Baseline cost 
estimate. Work items will be scaled back and the last two 270-
foot WMECs will not undergo the sustainment project. Given the 
success of this program in mitigating fleet equipment failures 
and delays in fielding a replacement asset (Offshore Patrol 
Cutter), the Committee encourages the Coast Guard to reconsider 
this decision as it develops its fiscal year 2012 budget 
request.

                        PATROL BOAT SUSTAINMENT

    No funding is identified in the fiscal year 2011-15 Capital 
Investment Plan for patrol boat sustainment due to the 
administration's decision to de-scope the project. This 
decision means that 17 instead of 20 patrol boats will undergo 
sustainment. While the Coast Guard is in the process of 
acquiring 58 FRCs to replace the legacy patrol fleet (which has 
well surpassed its expected service life), only 22 are expected 
to be delivered by the end of fiscal year 2015. This should 
reinforce the need to sustain the legacy fleet until 
replacements are deployed. The Committee encourages the Coast 
Guard to reconsider this decision as it develops its fiscal 
year 2012 budget request.

                         OFFSHORE PATROL CUTTER

    The recommendation includes $45,000,000 for the Offshore 
Patrol Cutter [OPC], as requested. Funding provides for pre-
acquisition activities. The Committee expects the Coast Guard 
to provide quarterly briefings to the Committee on the status 
of this procurement, including critical decision points and 
dates. Further, in accordance with section 511 of this act, no 
funds may be used in contravention of the Buy American Act, 
including the procurement of main propulsion engines for the 
OPC.

                      POLAR ICEBREAKER SUSTAINMENT

    The Coast Guard shall continue to periodically brief the 
Committee on progress made to reactivate CGC Polar Star. 
According to the Coast Guard, reactivation work will be 
completed by 2013, increasing the fleet of operational polar 
icebreakers to three. As discussed in the ``Operating 
Expenses'' section of this report, the Committee expects 
sufficient funding to be requested in fiscal year 2012 to field 
a crew for the vessel.
    The Committee recently learned that the Polar Sea has been 
unexpectedly taken out of service due to excessive wear in its 
main diesel engines and will likely be in a maintenance status 
and unavailable for operations until at least January 2011. As 
a result of this situation, the scheduled fall 2010 Arctic 
patrol will be cancelled as will an Antarctic Operation Deep 
Freeze standby period (December 2010-January 2011). The 
Committee is aware of a root-cause failure-analysis into the 
underlying cause of the engine wear. The Committee is to be 
briefed on its results upon its completion and the Coast 
Guard's plans to address them.

                       DEEPWATER EXPENDITURE PLAN

    The Coast Guard is directed to brief the Committee on its 
fiscal year 2011 Deepwater expenditure plan no later than 60 
days after the date of enactment of this act. The briefing 
shall be consistent with the Deepwater expenditure plan 
requirements set forth in Public Law 110-329.

                     QUARTERLY ACQUISITION REPORTS

    The Commandant is directed to continue to submit to the 
Committee quarterly acquisition and mission emphasis reports 
consistent with deadlines articulated under section 360 of 
division I of Public Law 108-7. The Coast Guard shall continue 
submitting these reports in the same format as required in 
fiscal year 2010. In addition, for each asset covered, the 
reports should present the objective for operational hours the 
Coast Guard expects to achieve, the gap between that objective 
and current capabilities, and how the acquisition of the 
specific asset closes the gap. The information should include a 
discussion of how the Coast Guard calculated the operational 
hours, an explanation on risks to mission performance 
associated with the current shortfall, and the operational 
strategy to mitigate such risks.

                          GAO DEEPWATER REVIEW

    The GAO is directed to continue its oversight of the 
Deepwater program, including a continued focus on acquisitions 
nearing critical decision points and Coast Guard progress in 
functioning as the systems integrator. GAO has informed the 
Committee that the Coast Guard has not completed its planned 
fleet mix analysis that was intended to revalidate the 
quantities of assets needed to meet mission needs. The Coast 
Guard is to complete this analysis and submit the results no 
later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this act. 
GAO shall provide an assessment of the report as part of its 
annual review of the Deepwater program.

                      COAST GUARD MILITARY HOUSING

    The Committee provides $13,965,000, as requested, for the 
recapitalization, improvement, and/or acquisition of housing to 
support military families.

  COAST GUARD SECTOR HONOLULU COMMAND AND INTERAGENCY OPERATION CENTER

    The amount recommended for shore facilities includes 
$18,100,000 in additional funding to begin construction of the 
Sector Honolulu Command and Interagency Operation Center. The 
Coast Guard should take a phased approach to this project to 
fully utilize the funds available.

                  COAST GUARD STATION CLEVELAND HARBOR

    The amount recommended for shore facilities includes 
$21,050,000 in additional funding for the Coast Guard Station 
Cleveland Harbor/Marine Safety Unit, Ohio, recapitalization 
project. This will allow the Coast Guard to proceed with work 
on additional phases of the project. Maintaining the phased 
approach to this work will maximize the use of available funds.

                 SHORE AC&I NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND PIER

    The amount recommended for shore facilities includes 
$23,500,000, as requested, to rehabilitate an existing pier at 
Naval Station Newport where Coast Guard buoy tenders moor.

                        CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN

    The Commandant is to submit to the Committee a 
comprehensive capital investment plan each year at the time the 
President's budget is submitted to the Congress.

                          UNFUNDED PRIORITIES

    The Committee directs the Commandant to provide to the 
Congress, at the time of the President's budget submission, a 
list of approved but unfunded Coast Guard priorities and the 
funds needed for each.

                         ALTERATION OF BRIDGES

Appropriations, 2010....................................      $4,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................................
Committee recommendation................................       4,000,000

    Under the provisions of the Truman-Hobbs Act of June 21, 
1940 (33 U.S.C. 511 et seq.), the Coast Guard, as the Federal 
Government's agent, is required to share with owners the cost 
of altering railroad and publicly owned highway bridges which 
obstruct the free movement of navigation on navigable waters of 
the United States in accordance with the formula established in 
33 U.S.C. 516. Alteration of obstructive highway bridges is 
eligible for funding from the Federal-Aid Highways program.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $4,000,000 above the request for 
the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge in Clinton, Iowa.

              RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $24,745,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      20,034,000
Committee recommendation................................      28,034,000

    The Coast Guard's Research and Development program develops 
techniques, methods, hardware, and systems that directly 
contribute to increasing the productivity and effectiveness of 
the Coast Guard's operating missions. This account provides 
funds to operate and maintain the Coast Guard Research and 
Development Center.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $28,034,000 for the Coast Guard's 
research, development, test, and evaluation activities, 
$8,000,000 above the budget request and $3,289,000 above the 
fiscal year 2010 level.
    Included in the amount recommended by the Committee is 
$8,000,000 above the request for ship-based unmanned aircraft 
system [UAS]. This funding, in addition to amounts previously 
appropriated, is required to purchase the necessary shipboard 
integration equipment and support an advanced concept 
technology demonstration. An additional $2,000,000 is included 
for the ship-based UAS in the Committee's recommendation for 
``Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements.''
    With regard to land-based UAS, the Committee urges the 
Coast Guard to continue cooperation with U.S. Southern Command 
[USSOUTHCOM] in its evaluation of unmanned aircraft systems. 
Many of USSOUTHCOM's maritime patrol missions closely correlate 
with the Coast Guard's maritime missions.
    The Committee encourages the Coast Guard to research and 
develop a composite or hybrid-composite year-round ice buoy 
that will possess equivalent characteristics to legacy buoys.

                              RETIRED PAY

Appropriations, 2010....................................  $1,361,245,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................   1,400,700,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,400,700,000

    This account provides for the retired pay of military 
personnel of the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Reserve, members 
of the former Lighthouse Service, and for annuities payable to 
beneficiaries of retired military personnel under the retired 
serviceman's family protection plan (10 U.S.C. 1431-1446) and 
survivor benefit plan (10 U.S.C. 1447-1455); payments for 
career status bonuses under the National Defense Authorization 
Act; and payments for medical care of retired personnel and 
their dependents under the Dependents Medical Care Act (10 
U.S.C., ch. 55).

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,400,700,000, as proposed in the 
budget, for retired pay. This amount is $39,455,000 above the 
fiscal year 2010 level.

                      United States Secret Service


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010....................................  $1,478,669,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................   1,567,642,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,571,642,000

    The United States Secret Service's [USSS], salaries and 
expenses appropriation provides funds for the security of the 
President, the Vice President, and other dignitaries and 
designated individuals; for enforcement of laws relating to 
obligations and securities of the United States and laws 
relating to financial crimes; and for protection of the White 
House and other buildings within the Washington, DC, 
metropolitan area.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,571,642,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses. This is an increase of $92,973,000 from the fiscal 
year 2010 level and $4,000,000 above the amount proposed in the 
budget.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's

                        DOMESTIC INVESTIGATIONS

    The Committee recommends $261,412,000, an increase of 
$4,000,000 above the request, for domestic field office 
investigations, administration, operations, and training. Given 
that protecting the U.S. currency and conducting financial 
fraud investigations was the first responsibility given to the 
USSS when it was established in 1865 and represents 
approximately half of its current mission, the Committee is 
disappointed that the President's budget requests a $3,480,000 
reduction in this program from the fiscal year 2010 level. In 
fiscal year 2009, the Secret Service made 5,035 domestic 
financial crimes arrests; 2,506 domestic counterfeit arrests; 
conducted 650 seizures totaling $142,000,000 in criminal 
proceeds; prosecuted financial and cybercrime cases involving 
$443,000,000 in total actual loss; and prevented $1,800,000,000 
in total potential loss. These figures do not include the 
Secret Service's successful investigation into the network 
intrusion of Heartland Payment Systems. This investigation 
revealed that data from more than 130 million credit card 
accounts was at risk of being compromised and transferred to a 
command and control server operated by a transnational criminal 
group involved in other ongoing Secret Service investigations. 
The potential loss in this case is approximately 
$65,000,000,000. Given the magnitude of these investigations 
and their impact on both our financial system and individual 
citizens, the Committee believes it is imperative that the 
Secret Service be provided the resources it needs to perform 
its many missions.
    These additional funds are solely for additional 
investigations activities, including mortgage and other 
financial fraud investigations authorized under the Fraud 
Enforcement Recovery Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-21). The 
Secret Service is directed to maintain its efforts to achieve 
its intended budget efficiencies as stated in the Director's 
testimony to the House of Representatives Appropriations 
Subcommittee on Homeland Security on March 18, 2010.

                  INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND OFFICES

    The Secret Service has 22 international field offices and 1 
domicile office in 18 countries. With a relatively small number 
of agents stationed abroad, USSS is able to greatly leverage 
this investment to protect U.S. currency, businesses, and 
citizens. In fiscal year 2009, USSS international offices 
closed 259 counterfeit cases, 170 financial crimes cases, 378 
protective intelligence cases, 337 protective surveys, and 167 
noncriminal cases. During this period, USSS international 
offices also assisted its law enforcement partners abroad with 
the arrest of 1,066 suspects, while seizing over $108,000,000 
in counterfeit U.S. currency before it could be introduced into 
circulation.
    The Committee recommends $31,171,000 and 74 FTE, as 
requested, for international field office administration, 
operations, and training. The Committee is impressed with the 
work that the Bogota Field Office has accomplished in its 
liaison with Colombian law enforcement. Working with specially 
vetted groups of Colombian law enforcement officials, and with 
the assistance of the Secret Service, Columbia is no longer the 
largest producer of counterfeit currency in the world. The 
passing of Colombian-made counterfeit U.S. dollars has declined 
from $19,500,000 in fiscal year 2001 to $3,700,000 in fiscal 
year 2009--an 81 percent drop. By aggressive enforcement and 
increasing the cost of doing business, many counterfeiters have 
moved out of Colombia to other locations.
    Peru is now the largest producer of counterfeit U.S. 
currency in the world. From fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 
2009, USSS noted a 156 percent increase in worldwide passing of 
counterfeit U.S. currency originating in Peru. The Government 
of Peru recognizes this growing problem and has welcomed USSS 
training and support to address it. Currently, agents from the 
Miami Field Office are temporarily rotated to Lima in support 
of Peruvian actions. Since beginning temporary activities in 
Lima on March 15, 2009, the cooperative task force has yielded 
38 arrests, 17 counterfeit plant suppressions, and the seizure 
of more than $20,600,000 in counterfeit U.S. currency. The 
Committee understands consideration is being given to opening a 
field office in Lima. The Committee encourages USSS to build on 
its growing relationship with the Government of Peru and open 
an office if it is determined that doing so would be in our 
Nation's best interests.

                          FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

    The Committee is troubled by the Secret Service spending 
more funds than it has available to it, resulting most recently 
in a finding by the Government Accountability Office [GAO] of 
April 27, 2010, that USSS violated the Antideficiency Act. The 
Antideficiency Act requires that the agency head ``shall report 
immediately to the President and Congress all relevant facts 
and a statement of actions taken.'' The Committee notes that 
this statutory requirement relevant to the recent violation 
cited by the GAO has not yet been met. To ensure future 
compliance with the Antideficiency Act, the Committee directs 
the Department of Homeland Security Chief Financial Officer and 
the USSS to implement the GAO's recommendations related to 
financial management and compliance in the recently released 
GAO report (GAO-10-762). The Committee is pleased that there 
appears to be better communication between the Department and 
the Secret Service on financial matters. The Committee 
encourages all parties to embrace the program, project, and 
activity structure listed at the end of this report and 
cooperate and share information on a timely basis to avoid 
future problems.

           INFORMATION INTEGRATION AND TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM

    The Committee became aware of the significant information 
technology [IT] integration and transformation requirements 
facing the Secret Service during the 2008-2009 Presidential 
transition and provided $31,700,000 in emergency funding for 
USSS to immediately address White House Communications Agency 
interoperability requirements and to begin jointly addressing 
these additional IT funding requirements with the Office of 
Management and Budget. The Committee recommends funding of 
$69,960,000, an increase of $36,000,000 and 3 FTE, as 
requested; and directs the Secret Service and the DHS Chief 
Information Officer to provide semiannual briefings on progress 
in upgrading these IT systems and programs. The Committee also 
retains bill language withholding from obligation $20,000,000 
until the Chief Information Officer of the Department of 
Homeland Security submits a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
certifying that all information security modernization plans 
are consistent with Department of Homeland Security data center 
migration and enterprise architecture requirements.

                         DATA CENTER MIGRATION

    As part of the Department-wide effort to assign data center 
migration funding to the component agencies which will be 
migrating, the Committee recommends $12,600,000 in new funding, 
as requested, to support USSS's portion of this activity in 
fiscal year 2011.

                           ELECTRONIC CRIMES

    The Committee strongly supports the Electronic Crimes Task 
Force program, authorized in the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 
(Public Law 107-56), and is pleased that it is operating in 27 
locations across the Nation. The Committee recommends 
$57,158,000 and 315 FTE for the Electronic Crimes Special Agent 
Program and Electronic Crimes Task Forces, an increase of 
$617,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level and the same as the 
the amount requested in the budget. The Committee encourages 
the use of these funds for activities authorized under the 
Fraud Enforcement Recovery Act (Public Law 111-21).

               PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE NOMINEE PROTECTION

    The Committee recommends $17,867,000, and 24 FTEs, as 
requested in the budget, to provide training to candidate 
protective detail personnel, procure supplies and equipment to 
support these operations, and to procure critical protective 
vehicles and equipment for the 2012 Presidential campaign.

                           UNIFORMED DIVISION

    The Committee notes that the Uniformed Division plays a 
critical role in providing protective services to Secret 
Service protectees and others. In the past 4 fiscal years, an 
average of 11.6 percent of Uniformed Division Officers have 
become Special Agents. The Committee believes it is important 
to make full use of these officers' expertise and notes that an 
authorizing bill has been passed by the Senate and the House to 
reform the pay structure for the Uniformed Division of the 
Secret Service. The Committee provides $8,000,000 associated 
with this proposed salary restructuring, as requested. Bill 
language is included withholding the obligation of these funds 
until enactment of authorizing language that incorporates the 
authorities of the United States Secret Service Uniformed 
Division into the United States Code.

                  WHITE HOUSE MAIL SCREENING FACILITY

    The Committee recommends $25,315,000, as requested, for the 
White House mail facility.

                     MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN

    As requested by the President, the Committee provides 
$2,366,000 for the Secret Service's forensic support costs, and 
provides $6,000,000, to remain available until expended, for 
activities related to investigations of exploited children.

     ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENTS, AND RELATED EXPENSES

Budget estimate, 2011...................................       3,975,000
Committee recommendation................................       3,975,000

    This appropriation provides funding for security upgrades 
of existing facilities; to continue development of the current 
master plan; to maintain and renovate existing facilities, 
including the James J. Rowley Training Center (Center); and to 
ensure efficient and full utilization of the Center.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,975,000, 
the same as the fiscal year 2010 and the budget request level, 
for facility acquisition, construction, repair, improvements, 
and related expenses of the Secret Service for fiscal year 
2011.

                     MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $44,577,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      46,137,000
Committee Recommendation................................      45,137,000

    This account funds salaries and expenses for the Office of 
the Under Secretary, which oversees all activities of the 
National Protection and Programs Directorate [NPPD]. This 
account also funds business operations, information technology 
support services, and the Office of Risk Management and 
Analysis.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $45,137,000, for Management and 
Administration, of which $36,347,000 is for Directorate 
Administration and $8,790,000 is for the Office of Risk 
Management and Analysis. In total, this is $560,000 above the 
fiscal year 2010 level, and $1,000,000 below the budget 
request.

                            NPPD PERFORMANCE

    While recognizing the broad mission of NPPD, the Committee 
has previously expressed frustration with NPPD's loosely 
defined and ill-focused efforts. Improved congressional budget 
justifications and regular program briefings, as required in 
the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, 
and the accompanying explanatory statement, have begun to help 
clarify the mission and efforts of NPPD. While progress has 
been made, much work is still needed to clarify NPPD programs, 
such as Next Generation Networks and certain programs in the 
Office of Risk Management and Analysis. The Committee 
encourages NPPD to continue to refine its direction, budgeting 
process, and mission focus to ensure investments are made in 
the most critical areas for the security of the Nation's 
infrastructure, information, and people.

                 OFFICE OF RISK MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS

    The Committee recommends $8,790,000 for the Office of Risk 
Management and Analysis [RMA], a reduction of $1,000,000 from 
the budget request and $1,105,000 below the fiscal year 2010 
level. The explanatory statement accompanying the Department of 
Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, requires an 
expenditure plan for RMA in an attempt to gain clarity into how 
funds are being allocated to accomplish the goals and targeted 
outcomes of the Office. The plan described the mission, vision, 
and strategic context, unfortunately, it did little to clarify 
the quantifiable outcomes of RMA to fulfill its mission to 
``enable and advance the effective management of risk by the 
homeland security enterprise''. For example, one objective is 
to complete the second phase of the Department's first 
quantitative all hazards risk assessment by the end of the 
second quarter of fiscal year 2010. To date, RMA has not been 
able to demonstrate even a prototype of this assessment to the 
Committee, despite the fact that the second phase first 
received funding in fiscal year 2009. Further perplexing, the 
one area in which the RMA expenditure plan describes specific 
outcomes--technical assistance programs to DHS components--is 
identified for reductions in the fiscal year 2011 budget 
request. RMA must focus its efforts on the investments that 
yield the highest return and eliminate programs that are 
diffusing its focus on effective outcomes. Therefore, the 
Office of the Under Secretary is directed to brief the 
Committee within 60 days after the date of enactment of this 
act on which quantifiable priorities will be implemented in 
fiscal year 2011 with the appropriations provided and how these 
priorities will assist the Department to better meet the 
security needs of the Nation.

Budget estimate, 2011...................................     865,965,000
Committee recommendation................................     880,423,000

    Infrastructure Protection and Information Security [IPIS] 
assists the entities and people responsible for securing the 
Nation's critical infrastructure assets. In addition, IPIS 
works collaboratively with public, private, and international 
entities to secure cyberspace and U.S. cyber assets, and reduce 
the vulnerability of the Nation's telecommunications and 
information technology infrastructures.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends total appropriations of 
$880,423,000 for Infrastructure Protection and Information 
Security [IPIS] programs.

\1\A new PPA structure is recommended for the National Cyber Security Division [NCSD], similar to the new PPA
  structure proposed in the Congressional Justification addendum. Additional detail is provided under NCSD.
  Fiscal year 2010 enacted and the fiscal year 2011 budget request are presented on a comparable basis to the
  new PPA structure.

                       INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION

    The Committee recommends $339,236,000 for Infrastructure 
Protection, $5,458,000 above the request and $8,067,000 below 
the fiscal year 2010 level.
    The Committee recognizes that the Office of Infrastructure 
Protection [OIP] has taken a proactive approach in forming 
cooperative relationships with critical infrastructure and key 
resource owners and operators and in developing programs to 
ensure useful information can be easily shared to further 
security measures. The Committee encourages OIP to ensure that 
the best practices from these efforts are shared across the 
Nation.

         INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION--IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS

    The Committee recommends $88,595,000 for Identification and 
Analysis, $5,758,000 above the request and $2,015,000 below the 
fiscal year 2010 level. This amount includes $26,521,000 for 
Vulnerability Assessments, $3,758,000 above the request and the 
same amount as the fiscal year 2010 level. The Committee 
continues to recognize the importance of vulnerability 
assessments which are a collaborative effort between Federal, 
State, and local governments, and the private sector to 
identify vulnerabilities and enhance the security of high-risk 
infrastructure ranging from single-site security to large-scale 
regional efforts.
    This amount also includes $18,000,000 for the National 
Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center [NISAC], 
$2,000,000 above the request and $2,000,000 below the fiscal 
year 2010 level. The Committee encourages NISAC to continue to 
work with the National Incident Management Systems and Advanced 
Technologies Institute at the University of Louisiana at 
Lafayette.

    INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION--COORDINATION AND INFORMATION SHARING

    The Committee recommends $52,215,000 for Coordination and 
Information Sharing, $300,000 below the request and $7,367,000 
below the fiscal year 2010 level. This amount includes 
$37,433,000 for National Infrastructure Protection Plan [NIPP] 
implementation and Critical Infrastructure/Key Resources 
partnership management, $7,000,000 above the request and 
$7,291,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level for these 
activities. The increase over the budget is to be distributed 
between the two activities proportionate to the fiscal year 
2010 enacted level. The Committee continues to recognize the 
important role these efforts play in fostering and sustaining 
collaborative relationships between industry and Government. 
The Committee also notes efficiencies must be found in managing 
the programs. The Committee directs the GAO to review the 
efforts of both the NIPP implementation and Critical 
Infrastructure/Key Resources partnership management and provide 
recommendations to improve the process to reach the highest 
level of coordination and efficiency.
    This amount does not include $7,300,000, as requested in 
the budget, for data center migration. The Committee 
understands that this delay will not have an impact on the OIP 
mission. NPPD is encouraged to resubmit its request for data 
center migration in fiscal year 2012.

             INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION--MITIGATION PROGRAMS

    The Committee recommends $198,426,000 for Mitigation 
Programs, the same amount as the budget request and $1,315,000 
above the fiscal year 2010 level. This amount includes 
$105,036,000 for infrastructure security compliance, which 
includes the chemical facility and ammonium nitrate security 
programs. NPPD is directed to complete hiring for this activity 
expeditiously and to provide quarterly briefings on the hiring 
level for this program.
    The Committee understands that OIP continues to look for 
and provide innovative initiatives to enhance security. The 
Committee encourages OIP to continue to work with the 
University of Southern Mississippi to address the range of 
potential and actual threats and risks to the ongoing safety 
and security at venues with large crowds.
    The Committee encourages the Secretary as part of Risk 
Based Performance Standard 9 (Response) under the Chemical 
Facility Antiterrorism Standards [CFATS] program to consider 
whether or not a covered facility has an effective 
communications mechanism between the facility and local law 
enforcement and other first responders. For example, the 
installation of a dedicated telecommunications system between 
the covered facility and the local public safety answering 
point; development of a training schedule for use of the 
dedicated line; and implementation of an operational testing 
schedule of the dedicated line could prove beneficial for both 
the facility and surrounding communities in the event of an 
emergency.
    NPPD is encouraged to review products that have been 
cleared by the Federal Drug Administration, have received 
Designation and Certification under the SAFETY Act, and are on 
the Department of Defense list of approved treatments for 
decontamination and neutralization for possible use at covered 
facilities for post-attack readiness.
    The Committee encourages the Office of Bombing Prevention 
to continue its efforts in piloting a program related to 
training and critical response to explosive systems known as 
Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices.

                    NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY DIVISION

    NPPD was required to submit the fiscal year 2011 budget 
request in the same Program, Project, and Activity [PPA] 
structure as the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations 
Act, 2010 since in previous years shifts in the budget request 
made it impossible to compare proposed spending levels to 
current and prior year levels. The NPPD fiscal year 2011 budget 
request has been submitted in the fiscal year 2010 enacted PPA 
structure as directed but also includes an addendum proposing a 
new PPA structure for the National Cyber Security Division 
[NCSD] in fiscal year 2011 in the Congressional Justification. 
The Committee recommendation does include a new PPA structure 
for the NCSD, which is similar to the structure proposed in the 
addendum. The modifications to the proposed structure were 
included to balance flexibility with accountability and are 
discussed in the following sections of this report.
    The following table summarizes the fiscal year 2010 level, 
fiscal year 2011 budget request, and the Committee 
recommendation in the new PPA structure. The fiscal year 2010 
level and fiscal year 2011 budget request are also displayed in 
the current PPA structure as enacted and in the new structure 
on a comparable basis parenthetically.

\1\A new PPA structure is recommended for the National Cyber Security Division [NCSD], similar to the new PPA
  structure proposed in the Congressional Justification addendum. The fiscal year 2010 level and the fiscal year
  2011 budget request are displayed based on the current PPA structure and parenthetically, on a comparable
  basis, for the new structure.

NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY DIVISION--CYBERSECURITY PROTECTION AND RESPONSE

    The Committee recommends $262,331,000 for Cybersecurity 
Protection and Response, of which $80,406,000 is for United 
States-Computer Emergency Readiness Team [US-CERT], and 
$181,925,000 is for network security deployment. This is 
$15,229,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and $9,000,000 
above the request. The Committee understands that a portion of 
the proposed reduction below the fiscal year 2010 level can be 
absorbed, given the large amount of fiscal year 2010 
unobligated balances of the programs, especially for US-CERT. 
However, the Committee cautions that while some of the delay in 
obligations is attributable to unavoidable delays in contract 
executions, NSCD should be agile enough to focus resources on 
other allowable projects within the scope of their mission 
given the dynamic needs associated with cybersecurity. The 
Committee recommendation includes an increase of $5,000,000 
above the request to expedite deployment of network security, 
of which up to $2,500,000 may be used, including personnel 
costs, to study available private sector capabilities and 
technologies; examine appropriate methods to streamline 
acquisitions processes; and conduct pilot programs. The pilot 
programs shall illustrate how innovative technologies can be 
deployed across Government agencies and key elements of the 
private sector consistent with an executable operational 
concept. This effort shall not conflict with, but instead 
contribute to, the President's Cyberspace Policy Review and the 
Comprehensive National Cyber Security Initiative.
    When launching the Cyberspace Policy Review, the President 
declared that, ``the cyber threat is one of the most serious 
economic and national security challenges we face as a nation'' 
and that ``America's economic prosperity in the 21st century 
will depend on cybersecurity.'' A June 2010 report by the 
Office of the Inspector General (OIG-10-94) found that progress 
has been made in securing cyberspace but challenges remain. 
NPPD is directed to brief the Committee quarterly on its 
progress to address and implement the OIG findings.
    Finally, the Committee does not transfer $4,000,000 for the 
National Computer Forensics Institute from NPPD to the Federal 
Law Enforcement Training Center, as proposed in the budget. The 
total amount requested by the President is included in this 
total. The Committee expects the National Protection and 
Programs Directorate will continue to administer the NCFI in 
the same manner as fiscal year 2010, including allowing non-
Federal, nonlaw enforcement cyber security professionals as 
students.

NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY DIVISION--CYBERSECURITY COMPLIANCE, STANDARDS, 
                       AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends $46,329,000 for Cybersecurity 
Compliance, Standards, and Workforce Development, of which 
$29,245,000 is for Federal network security and $17,084,000 is 
for global cyber security management. These are the same 
amounts as in the request.

    NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY DIVISION--CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CYBER 
                        PROTECTION AND AWARENESS

    The Committee recommends $52,933,000 for Critical 
Infrastructure Cyber Protection and Awareness, which is a 
combination of the same activities that were previously split 
among the Strategic Initiatives and Outreach and Programs PPAs. 
This is the same amount as requested in the budget.

                    NATIONWIDE CYBER SECURITY REVIEW

    The explanatory statement accompanying the Department of 
Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, required NCSD to 
develop cyber network security assessment tools so that a 
comprehensive effort to assess the security level of cyber 
space at all levels of government could be completed. The 
Committee is pleased with the vigor with which NCSD has 
approached implementation of this important effort. The 
establishment of specific timeframes for outcomes and the 
inclusivity of Federal, State, and local partners, as well as 
other stakeholders, has put this effort on a positive path for 
results. The Committee directs NCSD to continue implementation 
of this important effort, in conjunction with FEMA, at least at 
the same level as in fiscal year 2010.

    NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY DIVISION--MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

    The Committee recommends $16,151,000 for Management and 
Administration, which includes the budget request for business 
operations and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Cybersecurity and Communications.

      NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY DIVISION--CYBERSECURITY COORDINATION

    The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for cybersecurity 
coordination, the same amount as the budget request and 
$5,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level.

                   OFFICE OF EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS

    The Committee recommends $44,524,000 for the Office of 
Emergency Communications [OEC], the same amount as the budget 
request and $536,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. The 
Committee recognizes that the initial goal established in the 
National Emergency Communications Plan is scheduled to be 
accomplished in calendar year 2010. The Committee anticipates 
the Department will confirm the goal--that 90 percent of high-
risk urban areas are able to demonstrate response level 
communications within an hour of routine events with multi-
jurisdictions--has been successfully completed.
    The Committee also notes that the 10th anniversary of the 
terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, will arrive in fiscal 
year 2011. The failure of communications during that incident 
has been cited in the 9/11 Commission report and has been the 
subject of many recommendations for resolution. Since that 
time, the Federal Government and the Department of Homeland 
Security have devoted significant resources to solving the 
interoperable communications problem; more than $4,500,000,000 
in Federal homeland security grants alone. Progress has been 
made; however, interoperable emergency communications remain 
inadequate. The emergence of commercial broadband services 
provide emergency responders with new opportunities to improve 
communications. Despite this potential, public safety officials 
face several challenges in integrating new technologies and 
proving their reliability. OEC is to report to the Committee no 
later than 6 months after the date of enactment of this act on 
the progress made since September 11, 2001, to improve 
emergency communications and detail what challenges lie ahead. 
Particular focus should be placed on the adoption of broadband 
technologies and the key issues and barriers still facing the 
emergency response agencies on this issue. The report is to 
include any needed update to the National Emergency 
Communications Plan to reflect the emergence of broadband 
technologies for public safety and this update shall be 
developed in cooperation with State, local, and tribal 
governments, relevant Federal agencies, emergency response 
providers, and the private sector. Further, the report shall 
include a plan to develop and disseminate training and best 
practices on governance, standard operating procedures, 
equipment purchases, and related issues for broadband 
technologies; and to deliver technical assistance to public 
safety agencies on broadband technologies.
    The Committee recommendation includes $1,000,000 for 
planning, analysis, and coordination with the Federal 
Communications Commission [FCC] for deployment and operation of 
the Public Safety Broadband Network, as requested in the 
budget. The Committee supports Federal agencies working 
together to ensure program effectiveness and cost efficiencies, 
but remains concerned that the concept for the Emergency 
Response Interoperability Center, which is proposed to carry 
out the planning, analysis, and coordination for deployment and 
operation of the Public Safety Broadband Network, was hastily 
developed prior to the budget submission. Therefore, the 
Committee directs OEC, in conjunction with the FCC, to brief 
the Committees on Appropriations on the full concept of this 
effort, including how it will be structured, who will be 
represented and participate, and how decisions will be made. 
The briefing shall include a description of how this effort is 
not in conflict with but instead complimentary to the Emergency 
Communications Preparedness Center, and possible benefits and 
drawbacks for combining the two efforts. The Committee is not 
interested in a proliferation of centers that are similarly 
named, similarly structured, with similar missions, yet working 
in stovepipes. Duplicative efforts waste money and create 
confusion which will not aid in reaching the end goals of 
operability and interoperability.

                        NEXT GENERATION NETWORKS

    The Committee recommends $21,095,000 for Next Generation 
Networks, the same amount as proposed in the budget and 
$3,905,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. The Committee 
remains concerned that this program lacks clarity of mission. 
Over the last 3 fiscal years, this program has yet to prove 
able to obligate funds in a timely manner. The transition of 
legacy voice communications priority services to new 
infrastructure and protocols is imperative for effective 
communications during a crisis. Therefore, the Committee 
directs NPPD leadership to continue aggressive oversight of 
this program.

                       FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE

Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................  $1,115,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................   1,115,000,000
Committee recommendation\1\.............................   1,115,000,000

\1\Fully funded by offsetting collections paid by General Services 
Administration tenants and credited directly to this appropriation.

    The Federal Protective Service [FPS] is responsible for the 
security and protection of Federal property under the control 
of the General Services Administration [GSA]; and for the 
enforcement of laws for the protection of persons and property, 
the prevention of breaches of peace, and enforcement of any 
rules and regulations made and promulgated by the GSA 
Administrator and/or the Secretary. The FPS authority can also 
be extended by agreement to any area with a significant Federal 
interest. The FPS account provides funds for the salaries, 
benefits, travel, training, and other expenses of the program, 
offset by collections paid by GSA tenants and credited to the 
account.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,115,000,000, as requested, for 
salaries and expenses of the Federal Protective Service for 
fiscal year 2011; this amount is fully offset by collections of 
security fees.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels:

                          ADEQUATE RESOURCING

    Since fiscal year 2007, the Committee has expressed concern 
over the lack of adequate resourcing for FPS. Federal employees 
have been killed or injured in numerous attacks on facilities 
that house Federal employees in the United States including the 
1993 attack at the World Trade Center, the 1995 Oklahoma City 
bombing, and the 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center and the 
Pentagon. In addition, there have been recent attacks at 
Federal facilities in Austin, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; and the 
Pentagon. Unfortunately, in spite of the increased threat and a 
projected 2 percent increase in protected square footage since 
the last Federal Protective Service [FPS] fee increase, the 
President's budget does not assume an increase in fees for 
fiscal year 2011.
    The Government Accountability Office [GAO] (GAO-10-341 and 
July 2009 testimony) has identified significant challenges in 
FPS's ability to meet the current threat. FPS is currently 
funded through fees assessed to participating agencies by the 
Office of Management and Budget [OMB]. In establishing the fee 
for fiscal year 2012, OMB is directed to increase the fee 
appropriately to meet the threat to the security of Federal 
employees and is encouraged to adjust the existing fee for 
fiscal year 2011. The Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2010, required the Secretary and the 
Director of OMB to certify that FPS is sufficiently funded to 
support a staff of 1,200 employees, including at least 900 
Police Officers, Inspectors, Area Commanders, and Special 
Agents by December 31, 2009. The Committee includes similar 
language this year but has increased the number of employees to 
1,348, including at least 1,011 Police Officers, Inspectors, 
Area Commanders, and Special Agents.
    The Committee understands that an FPS staffing model has 
been developed. The Committee directs the National Protection 
and Programs Directorate to provide the staffing model to the 
Committee on Appropriations and the GAO within 45 days of the 
date of enactment of this act. GAO is directed to report to the 
Committee on Appropriations within 75 days after the receipt of 
the model on its validity.
    Finally, the Committee notes that a Memorandum of 
Understanding [MOU] between U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement [ICE] and NPPD regarding business services provided 
to FPS has not yet been signed. When the Committee approved the 
transfer of FPS from ICE to NPPD in fiscal year 2010, as 
requested in the President's budget, it was with the 
understanding that the same core support, some of which ICE 
would still provide as appropriate, would be maintained. The 
Committee is concerned that 8 months after the transfer the MOU 
is still not complete. Without the MOU, it is impossible to 
determine if adequate resources are being provided for the 
struggling Service. NPPD and ICE are directed to provide the 
Committee with a copy of the signed MOU without delay. Similar 
language is included within ICE.

    UNITED STATES VISITOR AND IMMIGRANT STATUS INDICATOR TECHNOLOGY

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $373,762,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     334,613,000
Committee recommendation................................     334,613,000

    The United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator 
Technology [US-VISIT] account funds the development of a system 
to collect, maintain, and share appropriate information through 
an integrated information technology system, which determines 
the eligibility of aliens for admissions and benefits.
    The US-VISIT program office has lead responsibility within 
the Department of Homeland Security to work with the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation [FBI] on the further integration of the 
Automated Biometric Identification System [IDENT] and the FBI's 
Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System [IAFIS].

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $334,613,000, the same as the 
budget request, of which $50,000,000 shall remain available 
until September 30, 2012, for the United States Visitor and 
Immigrant Status Indicator Technology [US-VISIT].

                  IMPLEMENTATION OF BIOMETRIC AIR EXIT

    The Committee strongly supports the full implementation of 
a biometric air exit capability at the earliest practicable 
time.
    The Committee is concerned that the Department of Homeland 
Security has failed to implement a comprehensive biometric air 
exit program. The Committee strongly believes it is the 
responsibility of the Department to ensure that the visa waiver 
program works efficiently without compromising our national 
security and reminds the Department that expansion of the visa 
waiver program is prohibited by law until a biometric air exit 
system is in place.
    The Committee includes language in the bill providing that 
not less than $50,000,000 in prior-year balances shall remain 
available until expended solely for implementation of a 
biometric air exit capability.

                               BRIEFINGS

    All current quarterly briefings on US-VISIT programs shall 
be provided on a semiannual basis beginning in fiscal year 
2011.

           DELAYED DELIVERY OF THE US-VISIT EXPENDITURE PLAN

    Once again, the Department has not complied with the 
requirement in law to submit an expenditure plan for US-VISIT. 
The law required the plan to be submitted not later than 90 
days after the date of enactment of the fiscal year 2010 act, 
yet the plan was not received until May 13, 2010, well into the 
third quarter of the fiscal year. History with the last 
administration regarding this program sadly is repeating itself 
with this administration. For a national security program that 
biometrically tracks the entry of individuals into this 
country, this delay is not acceptable. Bill language is 
included prohibiting the obligation of $167,307,000 for US-
VISIT, half of the request, until an expenditure plan for use 
of the fiscal year 2011 funds is submitted to the Committees on 
Appropriations.

       UNIQUE IDENTITY/IAFIS INTEGRATION AND 10-PRINT TRANSITION

    Since the creation of the Department, this Committee has 
strongly supported and encouraged real-time interoperability 
between the IDENT and IAFIS biometric databases and the 
transition to capturing 10 fingerprints of all visitors to the 
United States. The Committee notes that the interoperability 
effort from September 2006 through April 30, 2010, has 
identified more than 48,162 individuals with wants and warrants 
or who are known or suspected terrorists [KST] and has 
prevented their entry into the United States. The Committee 
recognizes that while the FBI's transition to the Next 
Generation Identification of fingerprinting technology is an 
ongoing, multi-year process, the Committee fully funds the 
$25,852,000 request for Unique Identity as US-VISIT continues 
its portion of the interoperability effort with the FBI. The 
Committee directs the US-VISIT program office to continue 
aggressively pursuing this issue and to continue providing 
quarterly briefings on progress being made on Unique Identity.

                          IDENTITY MANAGEMENT

    Due to its cross-cutting nature, US-VISIT not only offers 
high-quality identity management services to all DHS 
operational components, but also provides a unique opportunity 
for sharing information and collaborative planning and problem 
solving among biometric stakeholders at the Departments of 
State, Justice, Defense, and the Intelligence Community. In 
short, US-VISIT continues to grow and develop as a resource 
that benefits not only DHS but other national and international 
efforts.
    It is vital that Department recognize the importance and 
impact of biometrics in safeguarding the security of the United 
States, and as such, should take a leadership role in biometric 
identification in the U.S. Government and throughout the world. 
The Department needs to formally designate US-VISIT as the 
biometric service provider for the entire Department.
    The Committee is encouraged by the progress US-VISIT has 
made in working closely with an increasing number of foreign 
governments as they seek to implement biometrics into their 
immigration and border management processes, exploring more and 
more opportunities for gaining global cooperation and 
collaboration to combat terrorism and international crime. The 
Committee directs US-VISIT to provide quarterly briefings to 
the Committees on Appropriations regarding its ongoing efforts 
with other countries in laying the foundation for biometric 
information sharing about criminals, immigration violators, and 
KSTs. As part of these briefings, the Committee also requests 
updates, if any, regarding what steps are being taken to 
strengthen the Department's position as a formidable player in 
the biometric and identity management field.

                        Office of Health Affairs

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $139,250,000

                                SUMMARY

    The Office of Health Affairs [OHA], headed by the Chief 
Medical Officer who also serves as the Assistant Secretary for 
Health Affairs, leads the Department on medical issues related 
to natural and man-made disasters; serves as the principal 
advisor to the Secretary on medical and public health issues; 
coordinates biodefense activities within the Department; and 
serves as the Department's primary contact with other 
Departments and State, local, and tribal governments on medical 
and public health issues.

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

                                BIOWATCH

    The Committee recommends $113,505,000 for the BioWatch 
program, $23,992,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level and 
$60,000,000 below the budget request. The Committee has 
expressed great concern about the troubled implementation and 
slow progress of the BioWatch program from its inception. While 
concerns remain, the Committee recognizes that progress is 
being made with the development and maturity of the BioWatch 
program, including an effort to work more cooperatively with 
Federal, State, and local partners. The Committee remains 
committed to ensuring the Nation has an early warning network 
to detect a biological agent to speed response and recovery 
from a terrorist event. The Committee encourages OHA to pursue 
a vigorous schedule and to rectify emerging problems as soon as 
possible to ensure that important advancements in this critical 
program can be deployed.
    Of the total amount requested, $89,513,000 is for operation 
of Generation 1, 2, and 2.5 technologies and the Committee 
recommends full funding for those activities. The remaining 
$23,992,000 is for development, long lead support, and 
deployment of Generation 3 technology. According to the 
BioWatch fiscal year 2010 expenditure plan required in the 
statement accompanying the Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2010, the absence of a widely accepted 
assay validation standard and procurement delays have resulted 
in program implementation delays for the Generation 3 
technology. For example, the delays in awarding the contracts 
for Generation 3 field testing caused $30,000,000 in fiscal 
year 2009 funds to be carried over into fiscal year 2010. The 
Committee understands that the delays will also result in 
moving the start of operational testing and evaluation into 
fiscal year 2012. While long lead items, such as modeling 
analysis, site selection, site preparation, and community 
acceptance efforts, to prepare for the deployment will still 
need to be initiated in fiscal year 2011, only 65 percent of 
the total budget request will actually be committed in fiscal 
year 2011. The Committee recommends 65 percent of the budget 
request to fully fund activities that can feasibly be completed 
in fiscal year 2011.

              NATIONAL BIOSURVEILLENCE INTEGRATION CENTER

    The Committee recommends $7,000,000 for the National 
Biosurveillance Integration Center [NBIC], $6,000,000 less than 
the fiscal year 2010 level and the same amount as the budget 
request. Of the $6,000,000 reduction requested, $5,000,000 is 
for one-time costs, and $1,000,000 is attributed to a reduction 
in the number of agency detailees and liaison officers assigned 
to the NBIC.
    The Committee is perplexed by the proposed reduction in 
detailees and liaisons. In December 2009, the Government 
Accountability Office [GAO] found in a report on 
Biosurveillance (GAO-10-171) that ``NBIC is not fully equipped 
to carry out its mission because it lacks key resources--data 
and personnel--from its partner agencies . . .''. As 
established in section 316 of the Homeland Security Act (Public 
Law 107-296), the NBIC's mission is to enhance the capability 
to rapidly indentify, characterize, localize, and track a 
biological event of national concern; disseminate information; 
and oversee development and operation of the National 
Biosurveillance Integration System. To date, NBIC has tried to 
accomplish this by placing liaisons from cooperating Federal 
and State agencies in the NBIC. Yet, the budget proposal 
provides no explanation of how the NBIC will continue to 
attempt to fulfill its mission in lieu of the budget reduction. 
Therefore, the Committee directs OHA to brief the Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of the date of enactment of this 
act on its progress in implementing the GAO recommendations 
(GAO-10-171), with which DHS concurred. The briefing should 
also include a discussion about the feasibility to collocate 
the NBIC with another coordination or operation center. An 
assessment of the feasibility of collocation should include: 
any cost savings associated with collocating the NBIC; any 
additional information sharing benefits to collocation; and any 
organizational factors to consider to ensure the 
biosurveillance integration mission is not overwhelmed by such 
collocation.

               RAPID DEPLOYABLE CHEMICAL DETECTION SYSTEM

    The Committee recommends $4,400,000 for the Rapid 
Deployable Chemical Detection System, which is $1,800,000 above 
the fiscal year 2010 level and $2,000,000 above the budget 
request. The increase is provided to complete at least one 
additional demonstration project in OHA's ongoing effort to 
build an end-to-end chemical defense architecture. The site 
shall be competitively selected through the current process 
based on requirements, priorities, and specifications of the 
overarching chemical detection architecture.

                       PLANNING AND COORDINATION

    The Committee recommends $3,001,000, which is $725,000 
below the fiscal year 2010 level and $725,000 above the budget 
request. The $725,000 above the budget request is to maintain 
funding for the Food, Agricultural, and Veterinary Defense 
Division [FAV]. The Committee recognizes FAV's role related to 
Homeland Security Presidential Directive-9 in advising 
Departmental leadership on security issues regarding food, 
water, agro-defense, veterinary, and zoonotic diseases.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The Committee recommends $27,553,000 for salaries and 
expenses, a decrease of $2,858,000 from the fiscal year 2010 
level and the same amount as the budget request. The decrease 
is attributed to cost efficiencies in supplies, staff travel, 
training and development, and the conversion of contract 
support services for associated management and administration 
activities.

                  Federal Emergency Management Agency


                                MISSION

    The primary mission of the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency [FEMA] is to reduce the loss of life and property and 
protect the Nation from all hazards, including natural 
disasters, acts of terrorism, and other manmade disasters, by 
leading and supporting the Nation in a risk-based, 
comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, 
protection, response, recovery, and mitigation.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends a total program level of 
$7,345,070,000 for activities of FEMA for fiscal year 2011.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget 
request levels:

    Funding for FEMA's Management and Administration [M&A] 
provides for the development and maintenance of an integrated, 
nationwide capability to prepare for, mitigate against, respond 
to, and recover from the consequences of major disasters and 
emergencies, regardless of cause, in partnership with Federal 
agencies, State, local, and tribal governments, volunteer 
organizations, and the private sector. M&A supports FEMA's 
programs by coordinating between Headquarters and Regional 
Offices the policy, managerial, resources, and administrative 
actions.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends total resources of $912,996,000 
for Management and Administration, including $216,760,000 made 
available by transfer from Disaster Relief. Of this amount, 
$4,000,000 is for the Emergency Management Assistance Compact; 
$10,215,000 is for the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction 
Program; $2,615,000 is for the National Hurricane Program; 
$10,717,000 is for the National Dam Safety Program; and 
$71,076,000 is for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, 
of which $5,900,000 is for data center migration, as requested 
in the budget. No less than $11,000,000 is for the Emergency 
Management Institute program which is $2,000,000 above the 
request. Also included in the total is $18,213,000 for the 
Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, which is the same 
amount as requested in the budget, however up to $2,000,000 is 
to study Radio Broadcast Data System technology to define and 
address the specific requirements for vulnerable individuals, 
including elderly, disabled, special needs, economically 
challenged, and English as second language persons, which shall 
be competitively awarded.
    The specific levels recommended by the Committee, as 
compared to the fiscal year 2010 and budget request levels, are 
as follows:

                         OPERATIONS ACTIVITIES

    The Committee recommends $651,187,000 for Operations 
Activities, instead of $867,947,000 as proposed in the budget 
and $758,155,000 provided in fiscal year 2010. The Committee 
recommends a transfer of $216,760,000 from Disaster Relief for 
management and administration activities bringing the total for 
Operating Activities to the budget request level.

             FISCAL MANAGEMENT AND TRANSPARENCY IN SPENDING

    The Committee includes a provision directing FEMA to submit 
its fiscal year 2012 budget request, including justification 
materials, by office. Each office and FEMA region shall 
provide: (1) budget detail by object classification; (2) the 
number of FTE on-board; (3) the number of FTE vacancies; and 
(4) the appropriation account(s) used to support the office and 
the programs managed by the office. This level of detail 
provides improved transparency and refined tracking of actual 
spending which is imperative given FEMA's growth in size and 
mission. Further, FEMA shall report to the Committee within 15 
days if any office receives or transfers more than 5 percent of 
the total amount allocated to each office.
    The Committee continues to recognize that the FEMA Office 
of the Chief Financial Officer [OCFO] is the key to stabilizing 
the important fiscal reforms that have and need to occur. The 
OCFO is encouraged to continue the proactive and transparent 
management of resources which will further support FEMA's 
ability to successfully accomplish its mission.
    The Committee recommends a new provision requiring FEMA to 
provide an expenditure plan for all funds made available for 
``Management and Administration'' no later than 90 days after 
the date of enactment of this act.

                       CORE MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS

    Disasters today are more frequent, more expensive, and 
larger in scale. FEMA's mission is to support citizens and 
first responders to ensure a coordinated effort to build, 
sustain, and improve the Nation's capability to prepare for, 
protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against 
all hazards. Before, during, and after a disaster, FEMA 
coordinates efforts to minimize loss and facilitate recovery. 
Since 1979, FEMA has had mixed success with its ability to 
fulfill its mission. Less successful times have occurred when 
there has not been a large-scale disaster for some period of 
time, such as during Hurricane Andrew in 1992; or when the 
Agency is caught off guard because it is under staffed and 
overwhelmed, such as during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The 
Committee notes that it is not just hurricanes but also 
terrorist attacks, earthquakes, floods, and incidents such as 
the space shuttle explosion that have tested FEMA's 
capabilities to coordinate.
    Since 2005, FEMA's Management and Administration 
appropriation has increased by 104 percent to support 
preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, and mission 
support. FEMA's permanent workforce has grown by 75 percent. 
During this period of growth, FEMA also received new 
authorities and has been reorganized several times. The 
Committee recognizes that with this growth, it is more 
important than ever for FEMA to expertly manage three core 
requirements to run an effective agency: budget, human capital, 
and information services. In the Department of Homeland 
Security Appropriations Act, 2010, and the accompanying 
explanatory statement, Congress directed FEMA to address 
financial weakness and refine budget details; conduct a human 
capital study; and dedicate specific funding to information 
technology and the development of preparedness metrics. Many 
required products are nearing completion.
    The Committee is pleased to note that the Administrator's 
fiscal year 2012-2016 Future Year Homeland Security Program 
emphasizes establishing priorities, defining outcomes, 
developing strategies, and budgeting for activities. The 
Administrator challenges FEMA's leaders to develop performance 
plans and budgets that will achieve results and continue an 
open dialogue regarding priorities and available resources. 
Having had a year to take stock, FEMA is urged to use fiscal 
year 2011 to complete any plans, products, and processes to 
implement long-lasting systemic solutions for stabilization of 
the Agency. Institutionalizing FEMA's core functions will end 
the cycle of building the agency up, letting it wither on the 
vine, only to build it up again after a major disaster. The 
Office of the Administrator is directed to brief the Committees 
on Appropriations quarterly on the specific progress of FEMA 
stabilizing its core administrative functions: budget, human 
capital, and information systems. Regarding the budget, the 
briefings shall focus on describing the readiness of the 
Agency, and the Nation, based on specific investments. The 
briefings related to human capital shall focus on FEMA efforts 
to be the right size and have the right capabilities. The 
briefings regarding information technology [IT] shall explain 
how comprehensive investments for an agency, which works in a 
very dynamic environment, are being made in IT, instead of 
merely patching together old systems in hopes that they will 
stay functional.

                  INDIVDUAL AND COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS

    The FEMA 2009 Citizen Corps National Survey (December 
2009), found that 48 percent of individuals have familiarity 
with what local hazards are in their community, and 38 percent 
are familiar with official sources of public safety 
information. Regarding knowledge about what to do in the first 
5 minutes of an earthquake or tornado, 53 percent of the 
citizens feel confident that they know to respond. Further, 31 
percent of citizens are confident about how to respond to a 
bomb, and 26 percent and 20 percent respectively are confident 
with their ability to know how to respond to a release of a 
chemical agent or to an explosion of a radiological or dirty 
bomb. The report also recognizes that past research has found 
that participants often perceive themselves to be more prepared 
than their reported actions would indicate.
    The Committee notes that through testimony and speeches, 
the Administrator has committed, ``to foster an approach to 
emergency management in this Nation that is built upon a 
foundation of proactive engagement with neighborhood 
associations, businesses, schools, faith-based community 
groups, trade groups, fraternal organizations and other civic-
minded organizations that can mobilize their networks to build 
community resilience and support local emergency management 
needs''. The Committee notes that most of the effort for 
engagement happens at the local, State, and Tribal level. 
Therefore, it is perplexing that no funding was proposed for 
the Citizens Corps program in the fiscal year 2011 budget, the 
one program that specifically concentrates on individual and 
community preparedness. The Office of Individual and Community 
Preparedness shall brief the Committee on Appropriations within 
60 days of the date of enactment of this act regarding the 
specific actions that will be taken to further individual and 
community preparedness and what specific resources are being 
committed to the implementation. The briefing shall include a 
discussion on how resiliency is increased through citizen 
preparedness, and how childhood education on preparedness can 
facilitate community readiness. The briefing shall also include 
an update on the ways in which the Planning Guidance for 
Response to a Nuclear Detonation, which was developed in 
accordance with direction provided in House Report 110-107, has 
been further incorporated into preparedness and public 
information activities with specific outcomes.
    Further, FEMA is directed to create an easily accessible 
inventory of shareable products that have been developed 
through the Citizens Corps program to further individual and 
community preparedness. The Committee understands the products 
range from school curricula to emergency information which is 
translated into foreign languages. Sharing this information 
will maximize the investments made to date.

              LOCAL, STATE, TRIBAL, AND FEDERAL TASK FORCE

    The explanatory statement accompanying the Department of 
Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, established a 
Local, State, Tribal, and Federal Preparedness Task Force to 
make recommendations after taking stock of preparedness efforts 
to date. The Committee appreciates the time and commitment of 
the Task Force members to address three overarching issues 
facing the Nation's preparedness system: policy, assessments, 
and grants. The Committee expects that the Task Force will 
present its recommendations to the Committee by September 30, 
2010. The Committee also notes that the Task Force needs to 
remain available to discuss the recommendations with the 
Committee and interested organizations and associations. FEMA 
is directed to continue supporting the Task Force during fiscal 
year 2011. FEMA is encouraged to assist the Task Force in 
developing a process by which the Task Force can share the 
recommendations with interested organizations and associations 
and collect their comments.

                                PLANNING

    The need for planning related to natural-, technological-, 
or human-caused emergencies or disasters has been met with 
varying degrees of acceptance and resistance among the many 
disciplines and levels of government that must participate to 
make any disaster planning effort successful. The FEMA 
Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101 [CPG 101], March 2009, 
stated that planning has a proven ability to influence events 
before they occur and is an indispensable contribution to unity 
of effort during an event. Planning also ensures common logical 
and analytical problem-solving to deal with complexities, in 
physical, spatial, and time-related dimensions. It has been 15 
months since CPG 101 was released and the Committee has no 
greater clarity on the commitment level of emergency management 
to complete comprehensive planning nor the resources that need 
to be committed, at all levels of government, to ensure that 
trained and skilled planners are dedicated to the effort. The 
Committee directs FEMA, in conjunction with the Homeland 
Security Studies and Analysis Institute or another appropriate 
federally funded research and development center, to review and 
report to the Committees on Appropriations regarding the status 
of planning, particularly catastrophic planning, as well as 
training and exercise needs to ensure that State and local 
emergency management officials can develop plans to meet the 
all hazards mission.

                         TRAINING AND EDUCATION

    The Committee understands that FEMA is reviewing its 
training and education programs to ensure efficiency and 
effectiveness. The Committee urges FEMA to review the need for 
additional capacity for current and emerging training needs 
such as those for planning, cybersecurity, intelligence, and 
catastrophic planning, response, and recovery. Additionally, 
FEMA should consider the need for education programs that 
develop critical leadership skills, enabling managers to 
operate in a complex, dynamic disaster environment. Finally, 
FEMA is encouraged to establish a capacity to use contemporary 
research to help identify current and emerging needs and 
trends. FEMA is directed to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this act regarding a comprehensive approach to 
training and education and identifying any gaps, including a 
plan to address those gaps.

                  NATIONAL DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK

    The Committee is pleased that FEMA has undertaken the 
development of a National Disaster Recovery Framework to 
identify the roles and responsibilities of all levels of 
government, individuals, and the nonprofit and private sectors 
during each phase of the recovery process. Additional efforts 
are required to clarify leadership and coordination issues 
within the draft framework released in February 2010, and the 
agency is directed to remain focused on this effort and provide 
the necessary resources to improve, finalize, operationalize, 
and implement the framework.

                            REGIONAL OFFICES

    The Committee understands that FEMA will delegate certain 
authorities from headquarters to the offices of the Regional 
Administrators. FEMA is directed to brief the Committees on 
Appropriations within 30 days of the date of enactment of this 
act regarding this effort. The briefing shall include a list of 
authorities that will be delegated; a timeframe for 
implementation; and what procedures will be instituted to 
ensure consistent application of FEMA policies across the 
Nation.

                    NATIONWIDE CYBER SECURITY REVIEW

    The Committee directs FEMA to continuing working with the 
National Protection and Programs Directorate [NPPD] on tools to 
assess cyber network security, as discussed in the NPPD section 
of this report.

             OFFICE OF NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION COORDINATION

    The Committee recommends $7,049,000 for the Office of 
National Capital Region Coordination [ONCRC], the same amount 
as the budget request and $54,000 above the fiscal year 2010 
level. Congress established the ONCRC to enhance domestic 
preparedness through cooperation of the Federal, State, and 
local governments in the unique environment of the National 
Capital Region [NCR].
    The Committee remains concerned that planning for 
evacuation of the NCR during a disaster has not incorporated 
all of the pertinent officials from the appropriate local 
communities and States in the decisionmaking process. 
Therefore, the Committee includes bill language requiring 
inclusion of the Governors of the State of West Virginia and 
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the NCR decisionmaking and 
planning process for mass evacuations. Further, the Committee 
again directs the Department to include officials from the 
counties and municipalities that contain the evacuation routes 
and their tributaries in the planning process.

                URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE RESPONSE SYSTEM

    The Committee recommends $38,000,000 for the Urban Search 
and Rescue Response System, $10,000,000 above the request and 
$5,500,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. The Committee 
directs FEMA to provide an expenditure plan to the Committees 
on Appropriations no later than 90 days after the date of 
enactment of this act. The Committee understands that FEMA will 
complete an intensive review of the program to ensure the 
capacity meets the need. The expenditure plan shall reflect the 
findings of the review. The Committee is concerned that the 28 
existing teams do not have adequate equipment to respond to a 
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive 
events. Additionally, the review may find that additional teams 
are needed to provide adequate response times and coverage in 
the Nation.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $3,078,970,000 for State and local 
programs. The Committee recommendation is $33,380,000 above the 
comparable requested level. The Committee does not approve the 
budget request to fund Firefighter Assistance Grants and 
Emergency Management Performance Grants under this heading, 
each program is funded in a separate account consistent with 
previous years. The Committee includes a provision providing up 
to 5 percent of the total amount appropriated for State and 
local programs for both the Grants Programs Directorate [GPD] 
and the National Preparedness Directorate [NPD]. This is 
consistent with the structure of previous years and provides 
the same amount as requested in the President's fiscal year 
2011 budget for these important activities. The Committee also 
includes a provision allowing grantees to use no more than 5 
percent of grant funding for management and administrative 
costs.
    The Committee includes specific time frames for grant 
dollar distribution and expects FEMA and the Department to 
comply with the law to ensure homeland security funds are 
distributed in a timely manner. For the State Homeland Security 
Grant Program [SHSGP], the Urban Area Security Initiative 
[UASI], Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grants, Metropolitan 
Medical Response System Grants, and Citizens Corps Program 
grant guidance shall be issued in 25 days, applicants shall 
apply within 90 days after guidance is issued, and FEMA shall 
act on the application within 90 days after applications are 
due. For Public Transportation Security Assistance and Railroad 
Security Assistance, Port Security Grants, Over-The-Road Bus 
Security Assistance, Interoperable Emergency Communications 
Grant Program, and Buffer Zone Protection Program, grant 
guidance shall be issued in 30 days, applicants shall apply 
within 45 days after guidance is issued, and FEMA shall act on 
the application within 60 days after applications are due.
    The funds provided for State and local grants are to be 
used for purposes consistent with each program as authorized 
and may not, with certain exceptions, be used for construction 
activities.
    For purposes of eligibility for funds under this heading, 
any county, city, village, town, district, borough, parish, 
port authority, transit authority, intercity rail provider, 
commuter rail system, freight rail provider, water district, 
regional planning commission, council of government, Indian 
tribe with jurisdiction over Indian country, authorized tribal 
organization, Alaska Native village, independent authority, 
special district, or other political subdivision of any State 
shall constitute a ``local unit of government.''
    The Department is encouraged to consider the need for mass 
evacuation planning and pre-positioning of equipment for areas 
potentially impacted by mass evacuations in allocating first 
responder funds. The Committee notes the Department's efforts 
to support the homeland security needs of federally recognized 
tribes and encourages FEMA to continue its efforts in ensuring 
federally recognized tribes are included in homeland security 
efforts through State and local planning efforts. The 
Department is encouraged to require State and local governments 
to address child care services and facilities in response and 
recovery plans, exercises, and training. Additionally, the 
Committee is concerned that State and local cyber security 
issues are not receiving the required resources and attention 
and the Department is encouraged to require State and local 
governments to include Chief Information Officers in planning 
efforts. The Committee is concerned that drinking water and 
sanitation security needs, especially related to emergency 
response initiatives, are not adequately addressed and the 
Department is encouraged to require State and local governments 
to include rural water associations in planning efforts as 
well.
    The Committee is supportive of the Department's efforts to 
evaluate applications based on risk and effectiveness. The 
Department should continue its efforts to evaluate SHSGP and 
UASI applications based on how effectively these grants will 
address identified homeland security needs. The Department 
shall work aggressively to ensure grant applicants have the 
same information that is available to the Department with 
regard to threat, vulnerability, and consequence to ensure 
applications reflect true risk.
    The Committee expects FEMA to continue to fully engage 
subject matter experts within the Department when appropriate 
in the development of grant guidance and the determination of 
awards.

                   ASSESSING STATE AND LOCAL PROGRAMS

    The Committee remains supportive of State and local efforts 
to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against 
disasters. We face a dynamic threat by both man and nature and 
without State and local first responders and homeland security 
partners there is no homeland security and no effective 
emergency management.
    In a resource constrained environment, reductions are 
unavoidable. Programs that can describe specific outcomes fair 
the best. Despite many efforts, including specific direction 
and funding provided by the Congress, outcomes and gains made 
through homeland security grant programs, combined with the 
investments made at the State and local level, cannot be 
clearly articulated. Neither can the remaining needs.
    In the explanatory statement accompanying the Department of 
Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010, a Local, State, 
Tribal, and Federal Preparedness Task Force was created and 
charged with making recommendations regarding the most 
appropriate way to collectively assess the Nation's 
capabilities and capability gaps. The Task Force was also 
charged with making recommendations regarding which 
preparedness guidance documents and policies need updating, 
which grant programs work the most efficiently, and where 
programs can be improved. The work of the Task Force continues 
and recommendations are forthcoming.
    In response to the evolving threat to this country, the 
Committee remains committed to supporting homeland security 
grant programs. However, in the absence of demonstrable 
measures of effectiveness during fiscal year 2011, long-term 
support for these programs cannot be assumed.

                 STATE HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $950,000,000 for the State 
Homeland Security Grant Program [SHSGP], of which $60,000,000 
shall be for Operation Stonegarden Grants, the same amounts as 
the fiscal year 2010 level. The budget request of 
$1,050,000,000 for SHSGP includes funding for activities 
appropriated under Metropolitan Medical Response System, 
Citizens Corps, Driver's Licenses Security Program, and 
Interoperability Emergency Communications Program Grants in 
fiscal year 2010. The budget proposes to combine several grant 
programs which are specifically authorized as separate programs 
in the 9/11 Act. The Committee does not approve the proposed 
restructuring of the grant programs, but encourages FEMA to 
continue to work with stakeholders on ways to streamline grant 
programs and processes. In accordance with section 2004 of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002, all funds (excluding Operation 
Stonegarden) above the amount automatically allocated to States 
and territories, shall be allocated based on risk (as defined 
by threat, vulnerability, and consequence) and effectiveness. 
Operation Stonegarden shall be competitively awarded and all 
border States shall be eligible to apply in fiscal year 2011.

                   URBAN AREA SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $950,000,000 for the UASI Grant 
Program, $63,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. Of this 
amount, the recommendation includes $20,000,000 for nonprofit 
entities determined to be at risk by the Secretary.

              LAW ENFORCEMENT TERRORISM PREVENTION PROGRAM

    In accordance with section 2006 of the Homeland Security 
Act of 2002, the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program 
[LETPP] is funded through a required set aside of 25 percent of 
the funds appropriated through the SHSGP and UASI programs. The 
Committee directs FEMA to provide clear guidance to States and 
urban areas to ensure that the intent of LETPP is fully 
realized.

            REGIONAL CATASTROPHIC PREPAREDNESS GRANT PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $35,000,000 for the Regional 
Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program [RCPGP], the same 
amount as the fiscal year 2010 level and as proposed in the 
budget. Of this amount, no more than $3,000,000 shall be for 
technical assistance. FEMA is directed to make a portion of 
technical assistance available for issues related to mass 
evacuation and host communities. Due to economic restraints, 
the Committee understands that in fiscal year 2010 some 
grantees were unable to meet the match requirement for regional 
activities, leaving critical projects at risk for completion, 
as they use limited resources for meeting requirements in their 
own jurisdictions. Therefore, in fiscal year 2011 there shall 
be no requirement for grantees to match funding for this 
program so that grantees can implement regional solutions for 
catastrophic events without delay.
    RCPGP has provided needed funding for planning efforts to 
date. The Committee recognizes that a crucial step after 
initial plan development is to exercise and validate those 
plans and ensure training needs are filled. Therefore grant 
funds shall be available for overtime, backfill, exercises 
(tabletop, functional, or full-scale), and training. Exercises 
should be coordinated through the National Exercise Program. 
Further, as plans are completed, FEMA is directed to: 
prioritize funding for efforts which formalize sustainable 
working groups for continued effective coordination; ensure 
synchronization of plans and shared best practices; implement 
citizen and community preparedness campaigns; and pre-position 
needed commodities and equipment. FEMA is further directed to 
take into account the needs of both the area at risk of attack 
and likely host communities.

                  METROPOLITAN MEDICAL RESPONSE SYSTEM

    The Committee recommends $38,000,000 for the Metropolitan 
Medical Response System [MMRS], which is $3,000,000 below the 
fiscal year 2010 level. The budget requests no specific funding 
for MMRS. The Committee recognizes the important work of MMRS 
in preparing the Nation for a large-scale medical response in 
urban areas.

                             CITIZENS CORPS

    The Committee recommends $11,500,000 for the Citizens Corps 
Program, which is $1,500,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. 
The budget requests no specific funding for Citizens Corps. The 
Committee recognizes the important work Citizens Corps grantees 
have completed to better prepare their communities for an 
emergency response to date. As required under the heading, 
Management and Administration, FEMA is directed to develop an 
inventory of the products and best practices developed through 
the Citizens Corp programs.

     PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ASSISTANCE, RAILROAD SECURITY 
         ASSISTANCE, AND OVER-THE-ROAD BUS SECURITY ASSISTANCE

    The Committee recommends $350,000,000 for Public 
Transportation Security Assistance [PTSA], Railroad Security 
Assistance [RSA], and Over-The-Road Bus Security Assistance; 
instead of $300,000,000 for PTSA and RSA, and no funding for 
Over-The-Road Bus Security Assistance as proposed in the budget 
request. Of the recommended amount, no less than $25,000,000 is 
provided for Amtrak security needs and no less than $6,000,000 
is for Over-The-Road Bus Security Assistance. The Committee 
notes that since 2004 there have been over 1,300 attacks on 
trains, subways, and buses worldwide resulting in over 4,000 
killed and 14,000 injured. It is essential that FEMA continue 
to work with grantees to ensure that funds are used rapidly and 
effectively. The Committee remains concerned about the slow 
pace of spending these funds and directs FEMA to brief the 
Committees on Appropriations no later than 90 days after the 
date of enactment of this act on efforts to expedite the 
effective expenditure of these funds.

                          PORT SECURITY GRANTS

    The Committee recommends $350,000,000 for the Port Security 
Grant Program, $50,000,000 above the amount proposed in the 
budget and $50,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level. The 
Committee notes that physical security, preparedness and 
planning for response to a disaster, and training of port 
facility officials at the Nation's ports is imperative to 
economic security.

                     BUFFER ZONE PROTECTION PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for the Buffer Zone 
Protection Program, as proposed in the budget.

                DRIVER'S LICENSE SECURITY GRANTS PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends no separate funding for the 
Driver's License Security Grants Program, as proposed in the 
budget. States may use SHSGP funding for this activity

            INTEROPERABILITY EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS GRANTS

    The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for Interoperability 
Emergency Communications Grants, which is same amount as the 
fiscal year 2010 level. The budget request provides no specific 
funding for this grant program.
    The Committee expects that before grant dollars can be 
obligated by grantees for interoperable communications 
equipment, jurisdictions must certify to FEMA that the funds 
are being spent in accordance with their plans. The Committee 
directs FEMA Regional Offices, in conjunction with the National 
Protection and Programs Directorate Office of Emergency 
Communications, to assist in integrating communications plans.

                      EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTERS

    The Committee recommends $31,520,000 for Emergency 
Operations Centers, instead of no funding as proposed in the 
budget. Of the amount provided $15,760,000 shall be 
competitively awarded.
    Bill language is included providing for the Congressionally 
directed spending items listed in the following table:

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

                    CENTER FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS

    The Committee recommends $62,500,000 to continue activities 
for the Center for Domestic Preparedness, the same amount as 
the fiscal year 2010 level and the request level. Included in 
this amount is funding to continue activities for the Noble 
Training Center.

               NATIONAL DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS CONSORTIUM

    The Committee recommends $97,000,000 for the National 
Domestic Preparedness Consortium, instead of $51,500,000, as 
proposed in the budget. Funds are to be allocated in the same 
amounts as fiscal year 2010 to the following existing members 
of the Consortium: the National Energetic Materials Research 
and Testing Center, New Mexico Institute of Mining and 
Technology; the National Center for Biomedical Research and 
Training, Louisiana State University; the National Emergency 
Response and Rescue Training Center, Texas A&M University; the 
National Exercise, Test, and Training Center, Nevada Test Site; 
and the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center, 
University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii.

               CENTER FOR COUNTERTERRORISM AND CYBERCRIME

    The Committee recommends $2,450,000 for counterterrorism 
and cybercrime training at Norwich University in Northfield, 
Vermont.

                       CONTINUING TRAINING GRANTS

    The Committee provides $30,000,000 for continuing training 
grants, $8,410,000 above the request and $1,000,000 above 
fiscal year 2010, of which State and local government 
intelligence awareness training shall be no less than 
$1,000,000 above the level funded in fiscal year 2010. The 
Committee supports full funding of programs that deliver 
homeland security curricula in the form of executive education 
programs and accredited master's degree education. The 
Committee also notes the importance of the Mobile Education 
Team providing half-day, graduate-level seminars on homeland 
security challenges for Governors, Mayors, and senior staff 
being conducted prior to any emergency their community may 
experience.
    The Committee directs FEMA to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations, no later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this act, regarding the needs being met by the 
continuing training grants to date. The report shall include 
any potential gaps in new needs that have evolved including 
training for planning and response to catastrophic events, 
State and local government intelligence, and law enforcement 
response related to all-hazards events, including jail 
evacuation.

                       NATIONAL EXERCISE PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $40,000,000 for the National 
Exercise Program, the same amount as fiscal year 2010, and 
$2,000,000 below the budget request.
    The Committee understands the national exercise program is 
under review, by the Department and FEMA, to ensure exercises 
validate response capabilities and provide assessments of 
plans, organization, training, and equipment needs which are 
relevant to realistic scenarios. FEMA is directed to brief the 
Committee no later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on any planned and needed program reforms. The 
briefing shall include a discussion on how exercises can 
produce specific and measurable accomplishments such as 
effective regional response protocol, information sharing, and 
citizen preparedness. Further, the briefing shall provide 
information regarding an effective way to use reconstruction of 
actual events that have already occurred as opportunities to 
validate response capabilities and assess plans, organization, 
training, and equipment needs.

                          TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

    The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for technical 
assistance, the same amount as the budget request, and 
$2,000,000 above fiscal year 2010. The Committee recognizes the 
importance of the technical assistance program, which delivers 
quick and effective problem solving tools for homeland security 
partners and supports the delivery of technical assistance for 
three major areas, as outlined in the budget request, for 
grants management, planning, and prevention activities. In 
administering grants management technical assistance, FEMA 
should focus on assistance related to expediting the drawdown 
of Federal funds.
    The Committee encourages FEMA to continue to provide 
training to first responders through the Domestic Preparedness 
Equipment Technical Assistance Program.

                      EVALUATIONS AND ASSESSMENTS

    The Committee recommends $16,000,000 for evaluations and 
assessments, the same amount as the fiscal year 2010 level and 
$2,000,000 below the request. The Committee views the 
responsibilities encompassed by evaluations and assessments as 
crucial to policy development, grant funding determinations, 
and measuring the outcomes of the Nation's preparedness 
efforts. The lack of effective assessment development and 
direction for this effort, by both the former Preparedness 
Directorate and FEMA, is disappointing: it has left the Nation 
less able to forge ahead on preparedness in the most effective 
and cost efficient way. Assessing the preparedness of the 
Nation in a Federal system is complicated, but it can and must 
be done. Leadership and commitment to the task are imperative 
to its completion. So is the cooperation of stakeholders. The 
Committee considered withholding funds of the Office of the 
Administrator and grantees until a way forward on assessments 
is in place. However, with the Preparedness Task Force set to 
make recommendations at the end of the fiscal year, the 
Committee did not want to impose a deadline that would restrict 
full consideration of the Task Force recommendations. 
Therefore, the Office of the Administrator is directed to brief 
the Committee quarterly on the progress of implementing an 
outcomes based preparedness assessment. The initial briefing 
shall include a review of how other nations have attempted to 
complete such an effort. FEMA is encouraged to submit a 
reprogramming request after the Task Force recommendations are 
received if additional resources are needed to implement the 
recommendations.

                     FIREFIGHTER ASSISTANCE GRANTS

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $810,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................................
Committee recommendation................................     810,000,000

\1\Budget proposes $610,000,000 under State and Local Programs.

    Firefighter assistance grants, as authorized by section 33 
of the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (15 
U.S.C. 2229), assist local firefighting departments for the 
purpose of protecting the health and safety of the public and 
fire fighting personnel, including volunteers and emergency 
medical service personnel, against fire and fire-related 
hazards.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $810,000,000 for firefighter 
assistance grants, including $390,000,000 for firefighter 
assistance grants, and $420,000,000 for firefighter staffing 
grants, to remain available until September 30, 2011. This is 
the same amount as the fiscal year 2010 level and $200,000,000 
above the level requested in ``State and Local Programs''.
    The Committee directs the Department to continue the 
present practice of funding applications according to local 
priorities and those established by the United States Fire 
Administration, and to continue direct funding to fire 
departments and the peer review process. Up to 5 percent of 
grant funds shall be for program administration.
    The Committee notes that the U.S. Fire Service Needs 
Assessment, which was required in the explanatory statement 
accompanying the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations 
Act, 2010 to be submitted no later than April 9, 2010, has not 
been received by the Committee. FEMA is directed to submit the 
assessment without delay. The Committee directs FEMA to brief 
the Committees on Appropriations no later than 60 days after 
the date of enactment of this act regarding the implementation 
of the recommendations of the recent GAO report (GAO-10-64) on 
additional actions which would improve the grants process.

                EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANTS

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $340,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................................
Committee recommendation................................     345,000,000

\1\Budget proposes $345,000,000 under State and Local Programs.

    Funding requested in this account provides support to the 
Nation's all-hazards emergency management system and helps to 
build State and local emergency management capability.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $345,000,000 for emergency 
management performance grants [EMPG], the same level as the 
amount requested in the budget within the ``State and Local 
Programs'' account and $5,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 
level. EMPG is an essential source of funding for State and 
local emergency management.
    The Committee directs FEMA to retain EMPG as a separate 
grant program, and not to combine its funding with any other 
grant allocation or application process. Not to exceed 3 
percent of grant funds shall be for administrative expenses.

              RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................       -$265,000
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................        -361,000
Committee recommendation\1\.............................        -361,000

\1\Fee collections are estimated to exceed costs.

    The Radiological Emergency Preparedness [REP] program 
assists State and local governments in the development of off-
site radiological emergency preparedness plans within the 
emergency planning zones of commercial nuclear power facilities 
licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission [NRC]. The fund 
is financed from fees assessed and collected from the NRC 
licensees to recover the amounts anticipated to be obligated in 
the next fiscal year for expenses related to REP program 
activities.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee provides for the receipt and expenditure of 
fees collected, as authorized by Public Law 105-276. The budget 
estimates fee collections to exceed expenditures by $361,000 in 
fiscal year 2011.

                   UNITED STATES FIRE ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $45,588,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      45,930,000
Committee recommendation................................      45,930,000

    The mission of the United States Fire Administration [USFA] 
is to reduce losses, both economic and human, due to fire and 
other emergencies through training, research, coordination and 
support. USFA also prepares the Nation's first responder and 
healthcare leaders through ongoing, and when necessary, 
expedited training regarding how to evaluate and minimize 
community risk, improve protection to critical infrastructure, 
and be better prepared to react to all hazard and terrorism 
emergencies.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $45,930,000 for the USFA, as 
requested in the budget.

                            DISASTER RELIEF

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2010....................................  $1,600,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................   1,950,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,950,000,000

    Through the Disaster Relief Fund [DRF], the Department 
provides a significant portion of the total Federal response to 
victims in presidentially declared major disasters and 
emergencies. Major disasters are declared when a State requests 
Federal assistance and proves that a given disaster is beyond 
the local and State capacity to respond. Under the DRF, FEMA 
will continue to operate the primary assistance programs, 
including Federal assistance to individuals and households; and 
public assistance, which includes the repair and reconstruction 
of State, local, and nonprofit infrastructure. The post-
disaster hazard mitigation set-aside to States, as part of the 
DRF, works as a companion piece to the National Predisaster 
Mitigation Fund.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,950,000,000 for disaster 
relief, the same amount as the budget request and $350,000,000 
above the fiscal year 2010 level. Of this amount, $216,760,000 
shall be transferred to FEMA ``Management and Administration'' 
for management and administration functions; and $16,000,000 
shall be transferred to the Department of Homeland Security 
Office of Inspector General for audits and investigations 
related to disasters, subject to section 503 of this act. The 
Committee also recommends bill language requiring an 
expenditure plan and quarterly reports for disaster readiness 
and support costs; and a monthly report on the disaster relief 
expenditures.
    The Office of Management and Budget fails to provide 
Congress with timely information of funding requirements for 
disaster relief activities. The President's $5,100,000,000 
supplemental request was not submitted until February 2010, 
when a funding shortfall was known in May 2009. Further, the 
Committee is aware that the President's fiscal year 2011 
request is $1,000,000,000 to $2,000,000,000 short of known 
requirements for prior disasters, including Hurricanes Katrina, 
Rita, Gustav, Ike, and the Midwest floods. The FEMA 
Administrator shall provide a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations no later than September 7, 2010, on the 
estimated fiscal year 2011 requirements for prior and future 
disasters.
    FEMA is directed to maintain the Florida long-term recovery 
office as long as there is sufficient work to be done following 
the 2004 and 2005 hurricanes that struck the State. FEMA is 
directed to notify the Committees 60 days prior to closing the 
office.

            DISASTER ASSISTANCE DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2010....................................        $295,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................         295,000
Committee recommendation................................         295,000

    Disaster assistance loans authorized by the Robert T. 
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 
U.S.C. 5162) are loans to States for the non-Federal portion of 
cost sharing funds, and community disaster loans to local 
governments incurring a substantial loss of tax and other 
revenues as a result of a major disaster. The funds requested 
for this program include direct loans and a subsidy based on 
criteria including loan amount and interest charged. As 
required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661 
et seq.), this account records, for this program, the subsidy 
costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and 
beyond (including modifications of direct loans), as well as 
administrative expenses of the program. The subsidy amounts are 
estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses 
are estimated on a cash basis.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $295,000, as proposed in the 
budget, in subsidy costs for disaster assistance direct loans.
    Bill language is included directing the gross obligations 
for the principal amount of direct loans to not exceed 
$25,000,000.
    The Committee recognizes that the Department issued a 
rulemaking in January 2010 providing for the cancellation of 
Special Community Disaster Loans [SCDLs] issued by FEMA 
following Hurricane Katrina, more than a year and a half after 
passage of the law providing for cancellation of these loans in 
2007. The Committee is pleased with FEMA's efforts to assist 
communities in their applications for cancellation of SCDLs and 
directs FEMA to continue their work with these communities to 
ensure maximum flexibility within the law as it considers 
cancellation applications. The Committee further directs FEMA 
to provide communities whose loans are not ultimately cancelled 
with extended deadlines and financing for loan repayment.

               FLOOD HAZARD MAPPING AND RISK ANALYSIS\1\

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $220,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     194,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     194,000,000

\1\Formerly called the Flood Map Modernization Fund.

    This appropriation supports the functions necessary to 
develop, and keep current, flood risk information and flood 
maps. The flood maps are used to determine appropriate risk-
based premium rates for the National Flood Insurance Program, 
to complete flood hazard determinations required of the 
Nation's lending institutions, and to develop appropriate 
disaster response plans for Federal, State, and local emergency 
management personnel.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $194,000,000 for Flood Hazard 
Mapping and Risk Analysis, the same amount as the budget 
request and $26,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. FEMA 
and the cooperating partners have delivered modernized maps for 
80 percent of the United States population and are projecting 
coverage of 92 percent of the population once the fiscal year 
2010 funds are obligated. The Committee recommendation includes 
language in the bill that provides that up to 5 percent of the 
funds may be made available for administrative purposes. The 
budget proposes no cap on administrative expenses. The 
Committee also recommends the program name change, as proposed 
in the budget, which better reflects the focus of future flood 
map modernization activities.

                     FLOOD PREVENTION AND RECOVERY

    Flood prevention and recovery at the local level are 
impacted by several Federal agencies and programs, including 
FEMA and the United States Army Corps of Engineers [USACE], 
which interact in the establishment of certain Flood Insurance 
Rate Maps. Updating Flood Insurance Rate Maps and educating 
residents about flood risk contributes significantly to 
mitigating future losses to floods for homeowners, businesses, 
and American taxpayers. However, communities seeking a 
resolution to disagreements about flood control infrastructure 
protection and mapping are often left at an impasse due to the 
inability of FEMA and USACE to clarify Federal roles and 
responsibilities. The stovepiped approach by Federal agencies 
to date has left communities with two options--ignore the risk 
or face unaffordable costs. Neither is acceptable. There is not 
a clear understanding of the scope of the problems or the full 
set of reasonable solutions to mitigate them. Nonetheless, the 
costs to communities to complete flood control infrastructure 
repairs, and to individuals as a result of sudden increases in 
flood insurance, are causing serious concerns about 
affordability, especially in the current economy.
    Therefore, FEMA is directed to create an inter-agency task 
force, to include the USACE and the Office of Management and 
Budget [OMB], to track, address, and where possible, resolve 
concerns stemming from FEMA mapping efforts in communities with 
issues related to flood control infrastructure protection, such 
as levees, drainage, or dams. OMB, as a participant in the task 
force, shall work to ensure any conflicts between agencies on 
the task force are resolved in a timely fashion. The task force 
shall provide a quarterly report to the Committees on 
Appropriations and other appropriate congressional committees, 
the first of which shall be issued no later than 45 days after 
the date of enactment of this act. The report shall provide a 
list of contacts made by a community official to either FEMA or 
USACE, including the date of each contact; a brief summary of 
the community official's concern; a determination of which 
governmental entity is legally responsible for the maintenance 
and certification of the flood protection infrastructure; and a 
joint response from FEMA and USACE to the concern, including 
all options the Federal Government allows to resolve the 
concern. Within 6 months after the date of enactment of this 
act, the Government Accountability Office [GAO] shall initiate 
an examination of the number and status, including timeliness, 
of responses to issues communities have submitted to the task 
force members regarding flood control infrastructure and the 
effect on Flood Insurance Rate Maps and the estimated costs to 
the community. GAO shall periodically update the report on a 
schedule to be agreed upon with the Committees on 
Appropriations.

                     NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE FUND

Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................  ($146,000,000)
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................   (169,000,000)
Committee recommendation\1\.............................   (169,000,000)

\1\Fully offset by fee collections.

    The National Flood Insurance Fund is a fee-generated fund 
which provides funding for the National Flood Insurance 
Program. This program enables property owners to purchase flood 
insurance otherwise unavailable in the commercial market. The 
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 authorizes the Federal 
Government to provide flood insurance on a national basis. This 
insurance is available to communities which enact and enforce 
appropriate floodplain management measures and covers virtually 
all types of buildings and their contents up to $350,000 for 
residential types and $1,000,000 for all other types.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $169,000,000, as proposed in the 
budget, for the National Flood Insurance Fund, of which 
$40,000,000 is for expenses under section 1366 of the National 
Flood Insurance Act (42 U.S.C. 4104c) to provide assistance 
planning to States and communities for implementing floodplain 
management measures to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk 
of flood damage to buildings and other structures eligible for 
insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program.
    The Committee has been frustrated with the lack of clarity 
on resources available to support mapping activities between 
the National Flood Insurance Fund and the program formerly 
called the Flood Map Modernization Fund, now Flood Hazard 
Mapping and Risk Analysis. FEMA is directed to continue to 
clarify the roles and responsibilities between these programs. 
The Committee does not recommend elimination of funding for the 
Severe Repetitive Loss Program, as proposed in the budget. 
Instead, FEMA is directed to streamline the process and 
eligibility requirements for the program to ensure its most 
effective use to prevent loss of property and save disaster 
relief resources.

                  NATIONAL PREDISASTER MITIGATION FUND

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $100,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     100,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      75,000,000

    The National Predisaster Mitigation [PDM] Fund provides 
grants to States, communities, territories, and Indian tribal 
governments for hazard mitigation planning and implementing 
mitigation projects prior to a disaster event. PDM grants are 
awarded on a competitive basis. This program operates 
independent of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, funded 
through the Disaster Relief Fund, which provides grants to a 
State in which a disaster has been declared.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $75,000,000 for PDM, $25,000,000 
below the fiscal year 2010 level and the request. The Committee 
continues to support predisaster mitigation, and recognizes the 
importance of coordinating predisaster mitigation projects with 
projects being completed through the Hazard Mitigation Grant 
Program. The Committee continues to be concerned about the pace 
of awarding these funds. Over $230,000,000 of prior-year 
appropriations remain unobligated as of April 30, 2010.

                       EMERGENCY FOOD AND SHELTER

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $200,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     100,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     150,000,000

    This appropriation funds grants to nonprofit and faith-
based organizations at the local level to supplement their 
programs for emergency food and shelter to provide for the 
immediate needs of the homeless.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $150,000,000 for Emergency Food 
and Shelter, which is $50,000,000 above the budget request 
level and $50,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level. The 
Committee continues to support the Emergency Food and Shelter 
Program, and recognizes it as one program, in conjunction with 
other Federal programs, that serves those in immediate need of 
food and shelter assistance.

Budget estimate, 2011...................................     385,800,000
Committee recommendation................................     171,593,000

    United States Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS] 
funds expenses necessary for the administration of laws and the 
provision of services related to people seeking to enter, 
reside, work, and naturalize in the United States. In addition 
to directly appropriated resources, fee collections are 
available for the operations of USCIS.
    Immigration Examinations Fees.--USCIS collects fees from 
persons applying for immigration benefits to support the 
adjudication of applications, as authorized by the Immigration 
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356).
    H1-B and L Fraud Prevention and Detection Fees.--USCIS 
collects fees from petitioners seeking a beneficiary's initial 
grant of H1-B or L nonimmigrant classification or those 
petitioners seeking to change a beneficiary's employer within 
those classifications (Public Law 108-447).
    H1-B Nonimmigrant Petitioner Fees.--USCIS collects fees 
from petitioners using the H1-B program (Public Law 108-447).

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends total resources of $2,598,150,000, 
including direct appropriations of $171,593,000 and estimated 
fee collections of $2,426,557,000.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's

                                E-VERIFY

    The Committee recommends $103,400,000 for the E-verify 
program, as requested.
    The Committee supports E-Verify and the effort the 
Department is performing to improve E-Verify's ability to 
automatically verify those who are work authorized, detect 
identity fraud, and detect system misuse and discrimination. E-
Verify is both a tool for employers committed to maintaining a 
legal workforce and a deterrent to illegal immigration. The 
Committee notes progress continues to be made on reducing the 
mismatch rate. The additional funds above the request provided 
to this program in the fiscal year 2010 act that remain 
available in fiscal year 2011 will promote monitoring and 
compliance activities and IT-related business initiatives 
geared toward improved system use.
    The Committee is disappointed that USCIS has not 
aggressively made use of the additional funds provided above 
the President's request for E-Verify compliance and capacity 
building. The Committee directs USCIS to provide a briefing by 
September 10, 2010, on efforts to improve compliance and the 
capacity of the system.
    Last year, in response to an amendment adopted by the 
Senate to the fiscal year 2010 Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations bill which would have provided private sector 
employers the option to use E-Verify to check the eligibility 
of current workers and not just newly hired employees, the 
Department indicated it opposed the inclusion of the Senate 
provision during the House-Senate conference. The Secretary of 
Homeland Security specifically stated that the provision ``has 
significant implementation challenges and would impose large 
new burdens on the E-Verify system that have not been budgeted. 
I support the general intent to expand and improve employers' 
ability to verify the employment eligibility of their 
workforce, but oppose this provision until such an expansion 
can be implemented in a measured and well-planned fashion.''
    While the Secretary indicated her support for the intent of 
the provision, the Committee notes that there are no additional 
funds requested in the President's budget to expand the 
capacity of the E-Verify system to allow employers to verify 
the work eligibility status of existing employees. The 
Committee directs the Director of USCIS to provide a report not 
later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this act 
identifying the costs to expand E-Verify to allow employers to 
voluntarily verify the work eligibility of their workforce.
    The Committee urges USCIS to continue to work to enhance 
the system to further improve performance, to continue its 
public outreach and education campaign, and to perform a new, 
independent evaluation of the system during the first quarter 
of fiscal year 2011.

                           PROPOSED NEW FEES

    The budget proposed $207,000,000 in new appropriated 
resources to cover the costs associated with performing 
administrative and international programs such as asylum, 
refugee, and humanitarian parole. The Committee supports the 
existing method used to cover the costs for those activities. 
The Committee notes that section 286(m) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356(m)) provides the Department with 
broad discretion on how fees collected may be used. 
Specifically, it states that immigration examination fees ``may 
be set at a level that will ensure recovery of the full costs 
of providing all such services, including the costs of similar 
services provided without charge to asylum applicants or other 
immigrants. Such fees may also be set at a level that will 
recover any additional costs associated with the administration 
of the fees collected.'' The Committee recommends $50,000,000 
for asylum and refugee services, the same as provided in fiscal 
year 2010. The Committee recommends no appropriated funds for 
the systematic alien verification for entitlements program, and 
directs that this activity and asylum and refugee services 
shall be funded using the existing methods to cover the costs 
of these activities. The Committee directs the Department to 
submit a reprogramming within 30 days after the date of 
enactment of this act, to reflect the continuation of these 
activities as fee-funded. The Committee notes that funding for 
military naturalization activities has been requested in the 
Department of Defense budget. The Committee also notes that 
approximately $72,000,000 is available in the H and L Fund for 
fraud investigations and that up to $38,000,000 in prior-year 
balances are available to be used for these and other purposes.

                         IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION

    The Committee recommends $11,000,000, the same level as 
provided in fiscal year 2010, for citizenship education and 
immigrant integration grants. The Committee does not recommend 
the $7,000,000 requested in the budget for operation of the 
Office of Citizenship Services and directs that it continue to 
be a fee-funded activity.

                     DRIVER'S LICENSE SECURITY HUB

    The Committee is disappointed that it has not yet received 
the REAL ID Hub expenditure plan as called for in the statement 
of managers accompanying the Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2010. The Committee directs that it be 
submitted immediately. A rescission of $10,000,000 in 
unobligated prior-year funding for this activity is included as 
a General Provision.

                         DATA CENTER MIGRATION

    The Committee recommends $7,193,000, for data center 
migration activities, a reduction of $16,207,000 below the 
request, due to accelerated funding for these activities 
provided in fiscal year 2010.

                       NATURALIZATION CEREMONIES

    The Committee encourages USCIS to work with local public 
and private groups to schedule naturalization and oath of 
allegiance ceremonies as part of Flag Day, Independence Day, 
and Constitution Day celebrations.

                Federal Law Enforcement Training Center


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................    $239,356,000
Budget estimate, 2011\2\................................     241,338,000
Committee recommendation................................     234,500,000

\1\Includes $1,309,000 for Federal Law Enforcement Accreditation.
\2\Includes $1,419,000 for Federal Law Enforcement Accreditation.

    The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center Salaries and 
Expenses appropriation provides funds for basic and some 
advanced training to Federal law enforcement personnel from 
more than 80 agencies. This account also allows for research of 
new training methodologies; provides for training to certain 
State, local, and foreign law enforcement personnel on a space-
available basis; and accreditation of Federal law enforcement 
training programs.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $234,500,000 for salaries and 
expenses of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center [FLETC] 
for fiscal year 2011.
    The Committee recommendation does not include $4,000,000 
requested for the National Computer Forensics Institute [NCFI] 
and denies the budget proposal to transfer this function to the 
Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. The Committee expects 
the National Protection and Programs Directorate will continue 
to administer the NCFI in the same manner as fiscal year 2010, 
including allowing non-Federal, nonlaw enforcement cyber 
security professionals as students.
    The Committee includes bill language requiring the Director 
of FLETC to ensure all training centers are operated at the 
highest capacity feasible throughout the fiscal year. The 
Committee also expects the Director to maintain training at or 
near capacity before entering into new leases with private 
contractors or establishing new partner organizations.

                           INTEGRITY TRAINING

    The Federal Government has experienced a significant 
increase in law enforcement officer hiring in the years since 
the tragic attacks on September 11, 2001. The Committee 
believes it is critical that all Federal law enforcement 
personnel, especially new hires, receive comprehensive training 
in ethics and public integrity. The Committee notes that 
Federal law enforcement personnel receive ethics training as 
part of their basic training at FLETC and expects that all 
newly hired Federal law enforcement officers will receive such 
training wherever they are trained.

                             ACCREDITATION

Appropriations, 2010....................................           (\1\)
Budget estimate, 2011...................................           (\2\)
Committee recommendation................................      $1,419,000

\1\$1,309,000 for Accreditation included in ``Salaries and Expenses''.
\2\$1,419,000 for Accreditation requested in ``Salaries and Expenses''.

    The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation [FLETA] 
process sets the standards for Federal law enforcement 
training. The accreditation of a Federal law enforcement 
academy or program provides assurance to the citizens they 
serve that they have voluntarily submitted to a process of 
self-regulation; and, that they have successfully achieved 
compliance with a set of standards that have been collectively 
established by their peers within their professional community 
that demonstrate adherence to quality, effectiveness, and 
integrity. The focus of the effort is to accredit Federal 
academies; entry-level and advanced or specialized training 
programs; instructor training; and other programs that affect 
multiple Federal, State, and local law enforcement officers.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,419,000 for the Federal Law 
Enforcement Training Accreditation Board [FLETA]. FLETA should 
lead the Federal law enforcement training accreditation process 
to continue the implementation of measuring and assessing the 
quality and effectiveness of Federal law enforcement training 
programs, facilities, and instructors.

     ACQUISITIONS, CONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENTS, AND RELATED EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $43,456,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      38,456,000
Committee recommendation................................      38,456,000

    This account provides for the acquisition and related costs 
for expansion and maintenance of facilities of the Federal Law 
Enforcement Training Center [FLETC]. This includes construction 
and maintenance of facilities and environmental compliance. The 
environmental compliance funds ensure compliance with 
Environmental Protection Agency and State environmental laws 
and regulations.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $38,456,000 for acquisitions, 
construction, improvements, and related expenses for expansion 
and maintenance of facilities of FLETC as requested in the 
budget.

                     MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $38,500,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      36,992,000
Committee recommendation................................      36,992,000

    The Management and Administration account funds salaries, 
benefits, and expenses for DNDO.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommendation includes $36,992,000 for 
Management and Administration. The recommendation is a decrease 
of $1,508,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and the same as 
the level proposed in the budget request. Of this amount the 
Committee recommends not to exceed $3,000 for official 
reception and representation expenses.

                 RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND OPERATIONS

Appropriations, 2010....................................    $324,537,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................     207,828,000
Committee recommendation................................     207,828,000

    The Research, Development and Operations account funds the 
development of nuclear detection systems and the integration 
and advancement of national nuclear forensics capabilities.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommendation includes $207,828,000 for 
Research, Development and Operations, with the funds to remain 
available for 2 years. The recommendation is a decrease of 
$116,709,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and the same as 
the level proposed in the budget request. The recommendation 
reflects the transfer of $109,000,000 for the transformational 
research and development program to the Science and Technology 
Directorate.
    Bill language rescinding $27,000,000 of prior-year balances 
is included in the general provisions.

                      SCANNING ON-DOCK RAIL CARGO

    The Committee is aware of the particular challenges faced 
when attempting to scan incoming containerized cargo at port 
facilities utilizing on-dock rail, as well as DNDO's work at 
the Port of Tacoma Intermodal Radiation Test Center to identify 
technologies to address these challenges. The Committee is 
relieved that DNDO has recently begun the process to evaluate 
detectors incorporated into straddle carriers, such as those in 
use for the past several years at the Freeport Container Port, 
Bahamas. DNDO should move swiftly to complete any testing 
necessary to make a decision regarding operational deployments. 
DNDO is to report on its plans to complete its research 
scanning issues regarding on-dock rail no later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act.

                           QUARTERLY REPORTS

    The Committee believes DNDO must aggressively pursue its 
preventive radiation/nuclear detection mission, and go beyond 
addressing the potential threat posed by the use of cargo 
containers to transport nuclear or radioactive materials or 
weapons. It is critical that DNDO prioritize its efforts based 
on risk and with attention to pathways such as general 
aviation, the maritime domain, land border threats, including 
rail, and in areas between ports of entry, and in urban areas 
and critical locations in the Nation's interior. The Committee 
directs DNDO to continue quarterly briefings on progress in 
developing architecture to guide technology research and 
applications; the status of such technologies, including their 
strengths and weaknesses; and timetables to develop and deploy 
them.
    The Committee also directs DNDO to continue quarterly 
briefings on developments of the Cargo Advanced Automated 
Radiography Systems and Joint Integrated Non Intrusive 
Inspection programs; red team exercises and assessments, 
including vulnerabilities identified and recommendations for 
addressing them; the progress in the Human Portable Radiation 
Detection System development effort, including operational 
testing and production of new technology for advanced 
operations; and progress in developing alternatives to existing 
detection materials and systems, in particular progress in 
finding alternatives to neutron detectors based on Helium-3.

                          SYSTEMS ACQUISITION

Appropriations, 2010....................................     $20,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011...................................      61,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      78,000,000

    The Systems Acquisition account funds the acquisition of 
equipment for front line users across the Department.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommendation includes $78,000,000 for 
Systems Acquisition. The recommendation is an increase of 
$58,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level and an increase of 
$17,000,000 above the level proposed in the budget request.
    When DNDO was created there was logic to combining the 
research, development, and acquisition of nuclear detection 
technologies within one organization. As the deployment of the 
domestic nuclear detection architecture has matured, it may be 
more appropriate for future acquisition dollars to be placed in 
the operational components that perform these activities--Coast 
Guard, CBP, and TSA. Therefore, the Committee encourages the 
Department to review the placement of acquisition resources for 
nuclear detection technologies within what is primarily a 
research and development component and not an operational 
component. Further, if it is determined that acquisition 
resources would be more properly placed within the operating 
components noted above, the Committee encourages the Department 
to transfer remaining balances within this account to those 
components in the fiscal year 2012 budget request.

                       RADIATION PORTAL MONITORS

    The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the 
Radiation Portal Monitor [RPM] program. The recommendation is 
an increase of $20,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 level and 
an increase of $12,000,000 above the level proposed in the 
budget request. This amount, in addition to remaining 
unobligated balances, will allow DNDO to address a significant 
RPM gap in coverage at our seaports, land ports, airports, and 
rail entrances.

                          SECURING THE CITIES

    The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 to 
continue the Securing the Cities [STC] initiative as a 
competitively awarded grant program. The Committee is aware 
that a full-scale exercise is scheduled in fiscal year 2011 to 
be followed by a program assessment. This assessment will help 
DHS determine whether to continue, discontinue, or modify the 
STC initiative. Results of this assessment shall be submitted 
to the Committee upon its completion.

               HUMAN PORTABLE RADIATION DETECTION SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommendation includes $38,000,000 for the 
Human Portable Radiation Detection Systems program. The 
recommendation is an increase of $38,000,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 level and $15,000,000 below the level proposed in the 
budget request. The reduction reflects the delay in the 
procurement schedule to acquire next generation personal 
radiation detectors for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The 
Committee supports efforts by DNDO to purchase handheld and 
backpack units for border, maritime, and interior requirements.

          ADVANCED SPECTROSCOPIC PORTAL MONITORS CERTIFICATION

    Bill language is included prohibiting the Department from 
full-scale procurement of Advanced Spectrscopic Portal [ASP] 
monitors until the Secretary submits a report to the Committees 
on Appropriations certifying that a significant increase in 
operational effectiveness will be achieved. In addition, 
separate and distinct certifications shall be submitted by the 
Secretary prior to the procurement of ASPs for primary and 
secondary deployment that address the requirements for 
operational effectiveness of each type of deployment. Finally, 
DNDO is prohibited from engaging in high-risk concurrent 
development and production of mutually dependent software and 
hardware components of detection systems.

                                TITLE V

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS OF FUNDS)

    Section 501. The bill includes a provision that no part of 
any appropriation shall remain available for obligation beyond 
the current fiscal year unless expressly provided.
    Section 502. The bill includes a provision that unexpended 
balances of prior appropriations may be merged with new 
appropriations accounts and used for the same purpose, subject 
to reprogramming guidelines.
    Section 503. The bill includes a provision that provides 
authority to reprogram appropriations within an account and to 
transfer up to 5 percent between appropriations accounts with 
15-day advance notification of the Committees on 
Appropriations. A detailed funding table identifying each 
congressional control level for reprogramming purposes is 
included at the end of this statement. These reprogramming 
guidelines shall be complied with by all departmental 
components funded by this act.
    The Committee expects the Department to submit 
reprogramming requests on a timely basis, and to provide 
complete explanations of the reallocations proposed, including 
detailed justifications of the increases and offsets, and any 
specific impact the proposed changes will have on the budget 
request for the following fiscal year and future-year 
appropriations requirements. Each request submitted to the 
Committees should include a detailed table showing the proposed 
revisions at the account, program, project, and activity level 
to the funding and staffing (full-time equivalent) levels for 
the current fiscal year and to the levels required for the 
following fiscal year. The Committee continues to be 
disappointed by the quality, level of detail, and timeliness of 
the Department's proposed reprogrammings.
    The Committee expects the Department to manage its programs 
and activities within the levels appropriated. The Committee 
reminds the Department that reprogramming or transfer requests 
should be submitted only in the case of an unforeseeable 
emergency or situation that could not have been predicted when 
formulating the budget request for the current fiscal year. 
When the Department submits a reprogramming or transfer request 
to the Committees on Appropriations and does not receive 
identical responses from the House and Senate, it is the 
responsibility of the Department to reconcile the House and 
Senate differences before proceeding, and if reconciliation is 
not possible, to consider the reprogramming or transfer request 
unapproved.
    The Department shall not propose a reprogramming or 
transfer of funds after May 31 unless there are extraordinary 
circumstances, which place human lives or property in imminent 
danger.
    Section 504. The bill includes a provision relating to the 
Department's Working Capital Fund [WCF] that: extends the 
authority of the Department's WCF in fiscal year 2011; 
prohibits funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the 
Department from being used to make payments to the WCF, except 
for the activities and amounts allowed in the President's 
fiscal year 2011 budget; makes funds available for the WCF 
available until expended; ensures departmental components are 
only charged for direct usage of each WCF service; makes funds 
provided to the WCF available only for purposes consistent with 
the contributing component; requires the WCF to be paid in 
advance or reimbursed at rates which will return the full cost 
of each service; and subjects the WCF to the requirements of 
section 503 of this act. The WCF table included in the 
Department's congressional justification accompanying the 
President's fiscal year 2011 budget shall serve as the control 
level for reprogramming and transfer purposes in compliance 
with section 503 of this act.
    Section 505. The bill includes a provision that not to 
exceed 50 percent of unobligated balances remaining at the end 
of fiscal year 2010 from appropriations made for salaries and 
expenses shall remain available through fiscal year 2013 
subject to reprogramming.
    Section 506. The bill includes a provision providing that 
funds for intelligence activities are specifically authorized 
during fiscal year 2011 until the enactment of an act 
authorizing intelligence activities for fiscal year 2011.
    Section 507. The bill includes a provision requiring 
notification of the Committees 3 business days before any grant 
allocation, grant award, contract award (including Federal 
Acquisition Regulation-covered contracts), other transaction 
agreement, a task or delivery order on a DHS multiple award 
contract, letter of intent, or public announcement of the 
intention to make such an award totaling in excess of 
$1,000,000. If the Secretary determines that compliance would 
pose substantial risk to health, human life, or safety, an 
award may be made without prior notification but the Committees 
shall be notified within 5 full business days after such award 
or letter is issued. Additionally, FEMA is required to brief 
the Committees 5 full business days prior to announcing 
publicly the intention to make an award under State and Local 
Programs.
    Section 508. The bill includes a provision that no agency 
shall purchase, construct, or lease additional facilities for 
Federal law enforcement training without the advance approval 
of the Committees on Appropriations.
    Section 509. The bill includes a provision that none of the 
funds may be used for any construction, repair, alteration, or 
acquisition project for which a prospectus, if required under 
chapter 33 of title 40, United States Code, has not been 
approved. The bill excludes funds that may be required for 
development of a proposed prospectus.
    Section 510. The bill includes a provision that 
consolidates, continues, and modifies by reference prior-year 
statutory bill language into one provision. These provisions 
concern contracting officers' training, Federal building energy 
performance, fleet and transportation efficiency, and sensitive 
security information protocols.
    Section 511. The bill includes a provision prohibiting any 
person other than the privacy officer appointed under 
subsection (a) of section 222 of the Homeland Security Act of 
2002 to alter, direct that changes may be made, delay, or 
prohibit the transmission to Congress of any report prepared

funds may be used in contravention of the Buy American Act.
    Section 513. The bill includes a provision prohibiting 
funds to be used to amend the oath of allegiance required by 
section 337 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
1448).
    Section 514. The bill includes a provision regarding 
competitive sourcing for United States Citizenship and 
Immigration Services.
    Section 515. The bill includes a provision directing TSA to 
work with air carriers and airports to ensure the screening of 
cargo carried on passenger aircraft, as required by the 9/11 
Act, increases incrementally each quarter until the 
requirements are met. TSA is required to report air cargo 
inspection statistics detailing how incremental progress is 
being made to the Committees within 45 days after the end of 
each quarter of the fiscal year. Finally, TSA shall submit a 
report no later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act certifying that either the 100 percent mandate 
contained in the 9/11 Act has been met or providing its plans 
to comply with the mandate.
    Section 516. The bill includes a provision requiring the 
Chief Financial Officer to submit monthly budget execution and 
staffing reports within 45 days after the close of each month.
    Section 517. The bill includes a provision directing that 
any funds appropriated or transferred to TSA ``Aviation 
Security'', ``Administration'', and ``Transportation Security 
Support'' in fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 
2009 that are recovered or deobligated shall be available only

obligation of funds appropriated to the Office of the Secretary 
and Executive Management, the Office of the Under Secretary for 
Management, or the Office of the Chief Financial Officer for 
grants or contracts awarded by any means other than full and 
open competition. Certain exceptions apply. This provision does 
not require new competitions of existing contracts during their 
current terms. The IG is required to review Departmental 
contracts awarded noncompetitively and report on the results to 
the Committees.
    Section 523. The bill includes a provision regarding the 
enforcement of section 4025(1) of the Intelligence Reform and 
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-458; 118 Stat. 
3724) regarding butane lighters.

specifically authorized by a statute enacted after the date of 
enactment of this act.
    Section 525. The bill includes a provision that precludes 
DHS from using funds in this act to carry out reorganization 
authority. This prohibition is not intended to prevent the 
Department from carrying out routine or small reallocations of 
personnel or functions within components of the Department, 
subject to section 503 of this act.
    Section 526. The bill includes a provision prohibiting 
funding to grant an immigration benefit to any individual 
unless the results of background checks required by statute to 
be completed prior to the grant of benefit have been received 
by DHS.
    Section 527. The bill includes a provision prohibiting,

    Section 555. The bill includes a provision providing an 
additional $18,000,000 for the ``Office of the Under Secretary 
for Management'' to increase the Department's acquisition 
workforce capacity and capabilities.
    Section 556. The recommendation includes $287,800,000 to 
continue development of the DHS Consolidated Headquarters at 
St. Elizabeths and $54,300,000 to consolidate leases scattered 
across the National Capital Region [NCR].
    The Department of Homeland Security is currently spread 
throughout 46 locations across the National Capital Region. 
This dispersion adversely impacts critical coordination, 
communication, and cooperation among the components in the 
preparation for and response to terrorism and disasters. 
Funding to construct a new headquarters at St. Elizabeths will 
maintain construction of Phase 1 (Coast Guard headquarters) and 
initiates Phase 2 construction (DHS headquarters, the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, the National Operations Center, 
and the collocation of component operations centers). The 
Department has committed to completing Phase 1 by 2013 and 
Phase 2 by 2014. The Committee directs the Chief Administrative 
Officer to continue regular briefings on the DHS Headquarters 
Consolidation plan, including the status of the National 
Capital Planning Commission's approvals, the project's 
schedule, and any deviation from the plans described in the 
fiscal year 2011 congressional justification.
    An additional $54,300,000 is provided to consolidate 
scattered leases for offices that will not be accommodated at 
the St. Elizabeths campus. This initiative will lower the total 
number of locations that house DHS components from 46 to 
approximately 8, reduce security risks, and improve response 
capability. Consolidating leases results in net present value

         DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS

    The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the 
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should 
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
    As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the 
Senate, the term ``congressionally directed spending item'' 
means a provision or report language included primarily at the 
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a 
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit 
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, 
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure 
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality 
or Congressional district, other than through a statutory or 
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
    For each item, a Member is required to provide a 
certification that neither the Member nor the Senator's 
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such 
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are 
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee 
on Appropriations (www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm).
    Following is a list of congressionally directed spending 
items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this 
report, along with the name of each Senator who submitted a 
request to the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so 
identified. Neither the Committee recommendation nor this 
report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff 
benefits as defined in rule XLIV.

                                                                                 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
