Purpose of the Bill
The bill provides funding for: (1) the Department of
Commerce and its bureaus, and administrations: the
International Trade Administration [ITA], the Bureau of
Industry and Security [BIS], the Economic Development
Administration [EDA], the Minority Business Development Agency
[MBDA], the Economics and Statistics Administration [ESA], the
Bureau of the Census, the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration [NTIA], the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office [USPTO], the National Institute of Standards
and Technology [NIST], and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration [NOAA]; (2) the Department of Justice; (3)
several independent science agencies: the Office of Science and
Technology Policy [OSTP], the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration [NASA], the National Science Foundation [NSF];
and (4) several related commissions and agencies: the
Commission on Civil Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission [EEOC], the International Trade Commission [ITC],
the Legal Services Corporation [LSC], the Marine Mammal
Commission, the U.S. Trade Representative [USTR], and the State
Justice Institute [SJI].
Summary of the Bill
The Committee recommends total discretionary appropriations
of $60,139,000,000 for the Departments of Commerce and Justice,
science, and related agencies for fiscal year 2011. This amount
is $400,000,000 below the President's budget request.
Security.--First and foremost, this bill protects our
Nation and our communities from terrorism and violent crime.
Counterterrorism.--The bill funds the Federal Bureau of
Investigation [FBI], our country's domestic counterterrorism
agency. The Committee recommendation fully supports the FBI's
lead role in securing domestic national security by
safeguarding the United States against weapons of mass
destruction, terrorist attacks, and internal espionage.
Accordingly, the recommendation supports initiatives totaling
$480,279,000, which is $25,179,000 above the fiscal year 2010
level to improve intelligence, including the addition of agents
devoted to counterterrorism efforts. Through the Committee's
full support, agents will be provided with the tools to improve
intelligence driven investigations.
A key FBI security mission is to prevent the use of weapons
of mass destruction on U.S. soil. The Committee supports this
effort by providing the full budget request of $501,100,000
which is an increase of $49,100,000 above the fiscal year 2010
level, to enhance weapons of mass destruction response,
providing the FBI with significant resources to detect,
identify, and track individuals that pose threats to the United
States. Further, the Committee fully supports the FBI in its
efforts to save potentially millions of lives by improving its
ability to dismantle dirty bombs through its Render Safe
program.
Fighting Violent Crime.--The Committee recommends a total
of $3,737,285,000 for State and local law enforcement, which is
$259,936,000 above the President's request. The Committee's
recommendation includes $400,000,000 for Community Oriented
Policing Services [COPS] hiring grants to put 1,777 new
officers on the beat and $520,000,000 for Edward Byrne Memorial
Justice Assistance Grants.
The Committee's recommendation also includes a record
$468,000,000 in funding for Violence Against Women Act [VAWA]
programs to combat domestic and dating violence, sexual assault
and stalking. The Committee recommends $166,000,000 to
strengthen State and local government DNA collection and
analysis systems, which is vital to successfully prosecuting
the guilty and protecting the innocent from wrongful
conviction. The Committee recommendation provides $50,000,000
for activities authorized under the Second Chance Act of 2007
to facilitate the successful reentry of prisoners into
communities following incarceration.
The Committee's recommendation ensures that the FBI has
sufficient resources to support its duel mission to fight both
traditional crime and terrorism. The Committee is pleased to
note that the budget request does not propose to reduce the
number of special agents devoted to criminal investigations, as
it has done in prior years. The Committee is concerned that the
FBI must have sufficient resources to address emerging criminal
investigation requirements, including those to address violent
crime and other crimes against our most vulnerable individuals.
Accordingly, the Committee provides the President's full budget
request of $535,000,000 to support 143 additional special
agents, 157 attorneys, and 385 professional staff to
investigate mortgage fraud.
Fighting Crimes Against Children.--The Committee has
provided substantial resources to protect our children from
predators. The recommendation includes $399,100,000 for
Department of Justice efforts to prevent, investigate, and
prosecute crimes against children. This recommendation fully
supports the critical Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety
Act.
Competitiveness.--This bill makes critical investments in
scientific research and technology to improve America's
competitiveness. The Committee has followed the recommendations
of the National Academy of Sciences', ``Rising Above the
Gathering Storm'' report, making significant investments in our
science agencies that will pay dividends for our future.
Research.--The Committee recommends funding for research
that will create new products and processes that support job
creation. Specifically, the Committee recommends investing over
$940,806,000 in the National Institute of Standards and
Technology [NIST] for highly leveraged research that will
contribute to the development of new innovative products and
processes. The Committee also provides over $7,300,000,000 for
basic research through the National Science Foundation [NSF].
Space Exploration and Scientific Discovery.--In 1958, when
Sputnik was launched, it inspired quick action on the part of a
worried Nation. The United States responded with the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA] not just as a
foreign policy statement but also to support a program of
peaceful scientific discovery. Today, NASA is still an engine
driving America's economic competitiveness.
The Committee's recommendation provides $19,000,000,000 for
NASA. This funding is recommended to support a balanced space
program that will reinvest in scientific discovery to: improve
our understanding and ability to predict changes in the Earth
and its climate; make air travel safer and more efficient; and
make highest and best use of the International Space Station
[ISS] laboratory for discoveries that will improve life on
Earth. The bill makes a real investment in the scientists,
engineers, and supporting workforce inside NASA its partners.
It supports the transition of the current human spaceflight
workforce to a restructured program that will build a heavy
lift rocket and capsule to reach beyond low-Earth orbit, as
well as the growing commercial workforce that will deliver
cargo, and possibly astronauts, to the ISS. These investments
in NASA will inspire and teach our next generation of
scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, create jobs today, and
fuel the discoveries of new products tomorrow.
Education.--The ``Rising Above the Gathering Storm'' report
emphasized that the future of U.S. competitiveness rests on our
Nation's ability to train the next generation of scientists and
engineers. For this reason, the Committee has invested over
$892,000,000 in NSF education and training programs. This is a
critical investment to ensure that our Nation leads the world
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from
kindergarten to post graduate levels.
Investing in an Innovation Friendly Government.--The bill
provides important funding to ensure that we have a Government
that protects our inventions. The Committee recommends the full
budget request of $2,321,724,000 for the Patent and Trademark
Office [USPTO] to protect the intellectual property of our
inventors. In addition, the Committee has provided language to
allow the USPTO to access up to $100,000,000 in additional fees
should they become available in fiscal year 2010. The Committee
has been troubled by the backlog of patent applications and the
time it takes to process them.
Climate Change.--The Commerce, Justice, and science
appropriations bill protects our planet by funding the science
used to monitor and predict changes in Earth's climate. Through
the science conducted at the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration [NASA], the National Science Foundation [NSF],
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA],
this bill funds over 80 percent of Federal climate change
science. Several satellites that provide critical climate and
weather information are on borrowed time. For this reason, the
Committee has recommended over $1,800,000,000 for NASA's Earth
science missions, which will put all four Earth science
missions recommended by the National Academies by 2017 and
$641,900,000 for NASA science to better understand how the Sun
affects the Earth. In addition, the Committee recommends
$1,918,796,000 to fund our next generation climate and weather
satellites that are important to understanding changes in our
planet's climate.
Fighting Waste, Fraud, and Abuse
The departments, agencies, boards, and commissions funded
in this bill can and should significantly reduce operating
expenses by placing greater scrutiny on overhead costs. Savings
can and should be achieved by reducing non-essential travel,
office supply, rent, and utility costs. The Committee directs
each department, agency, board, and commission funded in this
bill to develop a plan to reduce such costs by at least 10
percent in fiscal year 2011. Plans to achieve this savings in
fiscal year 2011 should be submitted to the Committee no later
than 30 days after enactment of this act.
The Committee has also reduced official reception and
representation funds by more than 25 percent. Modest
representation funds are provided for agency executives to
provide necessary courtesies to our diplomatic partners and out
of respect for fallen officers, or to mark historic occasions
such as space exploration missions or stunning discoveries.
However, savings can and should be achieved by reducing the
costs of executive meetings, receptions, ceremonies, and
conferences, and purchasing fewer promotional items such as t-
shirts, hats, mugs, key chains, and other similar items.
The Committee is extremely concerned about the persistent
pattern of cost overruns and schedule slippages on major
projects and missions carried out by the agencies within this
bill. In addition, reports have exposed a culture within many
agencies that exhibits a lack of accountability and oversight
of grant funding.
Therefore, the Committee has recommended three bill-wide
provisions to ensure greater oversight and fiscal
responsibility of taxpayer dollars. First, the bill requires
each agency to notify the Committee immediately upon
identification of program cost overruns greater than 10
percent. Second, the bill requires the Inspectors General of
the Departments of Commerce and Justice, NASA, NSF and the
Legal Services Corporation to conduct reviews of grant and
contract funds to ensure funds are being spent appropriately.
Third, the bill requires each department, agency, board,
and commission funded in this act to report spending on large
conferences, with costs in excess of $20,000 each, to to the
Inspectors General for audit.
Finally, the Committee intends to continue to work with the
Government Accountability Office [GAO] to review selected
large-scale acquisition and construction projects.
Specifically, the Committee requests that GAO develop a plan
for ongoing reviews of such projects, with reports to the
Committee on a biannual basis. Agencies shall provide access to
all necessary data, as determined by GAO, in order for the
reviews to be completed and provided in a timely manner to the
Committee. The Committee believes that these project status
reports are valuable in identifying cost overrun and schedule
slippage problems early, so they can be addressed immediately.
Reprogrammings, Reorganizations, and Relocations
Section 505 contained in the ``General Provisions'' of
title V provides procedures for the reprogramming of funds. To
reprogram is to change the use of funds from the specific
purposes provided for in the act and the accompanying report
or, in the absence of direction from the Committee on
Appropriations, from the specific purposes provided for in the
administration's budget request. Each title of the bill has
also traditionally included separate provisions that define
permissible transfers of resources between appropriation
accounts. These transfer authority provisions are also pursuant
to section 505, and were initiated in the early 1990s to
provide additional flexibility to the agencies under the
subcommittee's jurisdiction.
The Committee expects each department and agency to closely
follow the reprogramming procedures listed in section 505,
which are the same as provisions that applied in statute during
fiscal year 2010. These procedures apply to funds provided
under this act, or provided under previous appropriations acts
that remain available for obligation or expenditure in fiscal
year 2011, or provided from any accounts in the Treasury
available to the agencies funded by this act. Section 505
requires that the Committee on Appropriations be notified by
letter, at least 15 days prior to reprogramming of funds,
whether permanent or temporary, in excess of $500,000 or 10
percent, whichever is less, between programs, projects or
activities. This provision is also applicable in cases where
several activities are involved with each receiving less than
$500,000. In addition, the Committee is to be notified of
reprogramming actions which are less than these amounts if such
actions would have the effect of: committing the agency to
significant funding requirements in future years; increasing
funds or personnel by any means for any project or activity for
which funds have been previously denied or restricted by
Congress; creating new programs, offices, agencies or
commissions or substantially augmenting existing programs,
offices, agencies or commissions; relocating offices or
employees; or reorganizing offices, programs, or activities.
The Committee also expects that any items that are subject
to interpretation will be reported. The Committee is concerned
that, in some instances, the departments or agencies funded
within this appropriations act are not adhering to the
Committee's reprogramming guidelines that are clearly set forth
in this report and in section 505 of the accompanying bill. The
Committee expects that each department and agency funded in the
bill will follow these notification policies precisely and will
not reallocate resources or reorganize activities prior to
submitting the required notifications to the Committee.
The reprogramming process is based on comity between the
Appropriations Committee and the executive branch. The
Commerce, Justice, science, and related agencies appropriations
bill provides specific program guidance throughout this report
and tables accompanying the bill. The process is intended to
provide flexibility to meet changing circumstances and
emergency requirements of agencies, if there is agreement
between the executive branch and the Congress that such a
change is warranted. Reprogramming procedures provide a means
to agree on adjustments, if necessary, during a fiscal year,
and to ensure that the Committee is kept apprised of instances
where nonappropriated resources are used to meet program
requirements, such as fee collections and unobligated balances
that were not considered in the development of the
appropriations legislation.
In the absence of comity and respect for the prerogatives
of the Appropriations Committees and Congress in general, the
Committee will have no choice but to include specific program
limitations and details legislatively. Under these
circumstances, programs, projects, and activities become
absolutes and the executive branch shall lose the ability to
propose changes in the use of appropriated funds through the
reprogramming process between programs, projects, and
activities without seeking some form of legislative action.
The Committee expects the executive branch departments to
manage its programs, projects and activities within the levels
appropriated. Reprogramming or transfer requests shall be
submitted only in the case of an unforeseen emergency or
situation that could not have been anticipated when formulating
the budget request for the current fiscal year.
Congressional Budget Justifications
The Committee directs that all departments and agencies
funded within this bill shall submit all of their fiscal year
2012 budget justifications concurrently with the official
submission of the administration's budget to Congress. Further,
all departments and agencies with classified programs funded
within this act are directed to submit their classified budget
justification documents to the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, through appropriate means at the same time the
unclassified budget justifications are transmitted.
These justifications shall include a sufficient level of
detailed data, exhibits and explanatory statements to support
the appropriations requests, including tables that outline each
agency's programs, projects, and activities for fiscal years
2011 and 2012. The Committee directs the chief financial
officer of each department or agency funded in this act
jurisdiction to ensure that adequate justification is given to
each increase, decrease, staffing and function change proposed
in the fiscal year 2012 budget, particularly within the
departmental operations and management accounts.
The Committee is concerned that many of the budget
submissions are inadequate and necessitate multiple requests
for additional information. This process is inefficient and
unnecessarily delays access to information that is fundamental
to the work of the Committee. The Committee expects that the
fiscal year 2012 submissions will include sufficient detail to
justify all programs, projects and activities contained in each
department, agency or commission budget request. Budget
justifications are prepared not for the use of the agencies but
are the primary tool of the Committee to evaluate the resource
requirements and proposals requested by the administration.
Noncareer Personnel Reductions-in-Force
The Committee directs departments or agencies funded in the
accompanying bill that are planning to conduct a reduction-in-
force [RIF] to notify the Committee in writing 30 days in
advance of the date of the proposed personnel action.
Appropriations Liaisons
The Committee prefers to channel the majority of its
inquiries and requests for information and assistance through
the budget offices or comptroller offices of the departments
and agencies which it oversees, but reserves the right to call
upon any individual or organization in any agency under its
jurisdiction.
TITLE I
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The Committee recommends a total of $8,987,500,000 for the
Department of Commerce [DOC]. The recommendation is
$5,047,723,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level,
excluding supplemental appropriations, and $20,000,000 above
the budget request.
The Department of Commerce is a major innovation engine for
this Nation. Few other departments in the U.S. Government have
all the elements in one place to keep America competitive in
this new economy. DOC's science and research programs find new
ways to solve today's problems and anticipate tomorrow's
challenges. New research brings new technology, and DOC
develops new standards and partners with industry to keep
citizens safe and manufacturers on the right track. These new
technologies and ideas deserve protection, and DOC preserves
intellectual property for our Nation's creative thinkers--small
and big business alike. Once ready for global marketplace, DOC
establishes trade agreements, sending new ideas into the
marketplace while protecting our workers and helping businesses
create jobs at home. The Department monitors progress through
statistical analysis, economic monitoring and periodic census.
As a leader in America's competitiveness, DOC needs
realistic funding, proper management, and oversight to keep the
United States scientifically relevant and technologically
innovative in the global marketplace. Yet the Committee is
aware that recent spending bills coupled with systemic problems
have heightened the enormous fiscal responsibilities already
facing the Department and exposed it to further challenges. The
Committee's recommendations in this bill ensure that DOC has
the funding to carry out its mission and mandates so that this
new administration has realistic goals for which to be
adequately held accountable in the years ahead.
In 2011, the Committee entrusts the Department will ensure
USPTO has the resources it needs to process applications
timely, keep staff on board, and continue issuing patents and
trademarks to give American inventors incentives to stay
innovative.
The Committee will continue to examine NOAA's satellite
programs which have undergone extensive independent reviews
after experiencing cost overruns, delays, and setbacks.
Satellite acquisitions account for approximately one-third of
NOAA's budget, with over $819,439,000 requested in 2011. They
are critical to predicting the weather and observing changes in
the Earth's climate. More importantly, satellites help save
lives and save the planet. The committee wants to know how the
Department plans to restructure its polar satellite program and
maintain proper oversight of all satellite programs and their
associated contractors.

The Committee's recommendation provides $524,265,000. The

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offsetting Fee Collections.--The Committee's recommendation
adopts the proposed offsetting fee collections of $9,439,000,
which the Committee believes is realistic and achievable.
National Export Initiative.--The Committee recognizes the
importance of the National Export Initiative [NEI] and supports
a large majority of the request for this new trade campaign
especially since the administration followed the Committee's
direction to enhance the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service, a
valuable but underutilized asset of the Federal Government. An
additional key component of the NEI, which DOC is directed to
set as an added priority, is better enforcement and compliance
of existing trade agreements to ensure American exporters can
overcome trade barriers overseas.
U.S. Foreign Commercial Service.--The ranks of the U.S.
Foreign Commercial Service [FCS] have remained stagnant for
several years stemming from previous lackluster requests. Now,
the FCS will serve as the personnel backbone of the NEI, and
the Committee directs the Department to increase FCS's role
overseas. However, the Committee also cautions the Department
to better plan for the how ITA will reasonably grow the FSC and
incorporate such a large influx of new personnel. A preliminary
Government Accountability Office [GAO] report recently noted
that ITA lacks key planning elements including a clear sense of
strategic direction to determine its workforce needs for the
NEI. To avoid cost overruns associated with personnel, ITA is
directed to provide the Committee with a report within 30 days
of enactment of this act that will include a detailed workforce
plan and tighter cost estimates, as well as a specific
management plan to how the agencies will manage FSC's financial
and workforces resources.
Appalachian-Turkish Trade Project.--The Committee continues
to recognize the importance of trade and investment
opportunities to the Appalachian Region, and it is encouraged
by the findings in reports that Appalachian firms could find
significant trade and investment opportunities, particularly in
the energy, hardwood, high technology, and transportation
sectors, in the Republic of Turkey and the surrounding region.
In this regard, the Committee supports the Appalachian-Turkish
Trade Project [ATTP], a project to promote opportunities to
expand trade, encourage business interests, stimulate foreign
studies, and build a lasting and mutually meaningful
relationship between Appalachian States and the Republic of
Turkey, as well as neighboring countries in the region, such as
Greece. The Committee commends the FCS for its leadership role
in helping to implement the mission of the ATTP. The Committee
expects the FCS to continue to be a prominent ATTP sponsor.
World Trade Organization.--The Committee is aware of the
World Trade Organization [WTO] Appellate Body's January 16,
2003, ruling regarding the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset
Act. The Committee directs the Department of Commerce, in
consultation with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative,
to conduct negotiations within the WTO to seek express
recognition of the existing right of WTO Members to distribute
monies collected from anti-dumping and countervailing duties as
they deem appropriate. The agency shall consult with and
provide regular reports, every 60 days, to the Senate Committee
on Appropriations on the negotiations.
In addition, the Committee directs that negotiations be
conducted within the WTO consistent with the negotiating
objectives contained in the Trade Act of 2002, Public Law 107-
210, to maintain strong U.S. trade remedies laws, prevent
overreaching by WTO Panels and the WTO Appellate Body, and
prevent the creation of obligations never negotiated or agreed
to by the United States.
The Committee provides $1,100,000 for congressionally
designated projects, and directs the ITA to refrain from
charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee
expects that ITA will provide appropriate management and
oversight of each grant.

The Committee's recommendation provides $113,106,000 for
the Bureau of Industry and Security [BIS]. The recommendation
is $12,764,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the
same as the budget request.
BIS is the principal agency involved in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of export controls for dual-use
technologies. The Export Enforcement Division detects,
prevents, investigates, and assists in the sanctioning of
illegal dual-use exports.
Amounts provided under this heading match the
administration's request for export administration, export
enforcement, and management and policy coordination. These
funds are provided to ensure BIS has the necessary resources to
reduce security threats, ensure America's technological pre-
eminence, and improve the recruiting and retention of qualified
personnel.

Committee recommendation................................ 280,181,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $280,181,000 for
the Economic Development Administration [EDA]. The
recommendation is $12,819,000 below the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and $6,000,000 below the budget request.
The EDA provides grants to local governments and nonprofit
agencies for public works, planning, and other projects
designed to facilitate economic development. Funding amounts
for the two appropriations accounts under this heading are
displayed below.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $255,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 246,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 240,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $240,000,000 for
Economic Development Assistance Programs. The recommendation is
$15,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and $6,000,000
below the budget request. The Committee expects EDA to use all
available carryover and prior year recoveries to the maximum
extent possible.
The purpose of Economic Development Assistance Programs
[EDAP] is to stimulate employment and increase incomes in areas
that are characterized by underutilized resources which, if put
to productive use, can contribute to greater national
productivity and balanced national economic growth. The
structural economic problems of various geographic areas,
though having distinct characteristics, are interrelated. Thus,
an effective Federal economic development program must
transcend the conventional conceptions of urban and rural
development by addressing all geographic areas within a
framework of national priorities and resources.
The Committee supports the President's initiatives within
economic adjustment grants to further develop regional
innovation clusters and business incubators, which are intended
to leverage emerging technologies and research to bolster U.S.
competitiveness.
The Committee is aware of the exceptionally large
geographic area of Hawaii and the American Pacific, which is
served by the Hawaii Economic Development Administration office
and the increasing demands for services in the area, and
recommends increased staff support for this field office.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $38,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 40,181,000
Committee recommendation................................ 40,181,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $40,181,000 for
salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $2,181,000 above
the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the same as the budget
request.
The Committee continues to support EDA's regional offices
and reiterates its commitment to continuing the current
operational structure with the six regional offices in Atlanta,
Austin, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, and Seattle. The
Committee's recommendation fully funds the request for the
Salaries and Expenses appropriation which provides adequate
funding to begin filling vacancies within the regional offices.
The Committee again directs that vacancies within the regional
offices be filled prior to any vacancies within headquarters.

Appropriations, 2010.................................... $31,500,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 32,316,000
Committee recommendation................................ 32,316,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $32,316,000 for the
Minority Business Development Agency [MBDA]. The recommendation
is $816,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and is the
same as the budget request. The Committee is encouraged that
the administration not only supports, but also increases
funding for the Office of Native American Business Development.
The Committee further directs the office to utilize the
assistance of the Native American Business Enterprise Centers
to help fulfill its obligations to expand business development,
trade promotion and tourism opportunities for Indian tribes and
other Native American entities.

Economic and Statistical Analysis. The recommendation is
$12,745,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$3,200,000 below the budget request.
Economic and Statistical Analysis [ESA] encompasses the
collection, tabulation, and publication of a wide variety of
economic, demographic, and social statistics and provides
support to the Secretary of Commerce and other Government
officials in interpreting the state of the economy and
developing economic policy. The Committee's recommendation
provides $10,353,000 for new initiatives proposed by the
agency.
Bureau of the Census
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $7,324,731,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 1,266,979,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,244,679,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $1,244,679,000 for
the Census Bureau. The recommendation is $6,080,052,000 below
the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $22,300,000 below the
budget request.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $259,024,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 280,364,000
Committee recommendation................................ 280,364,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $280,364,000 for
salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $21,340,000 above
the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and is equal to the budget
request. This account provides for the salaries and expenses
associated with the statistical programs of the Bureau of the
Census, including measurement of the Nation's economy and the
demographic characteristics of the population. These programs
are intended to provide a broad base of economic, demographic,
and social information used for decision-making by governments,
private organizations, and individuals.
PERIODIC CENSUSES AND PROGRAMS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $7,065,707,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 986,359,000
Committee recommendation................................ 964,059,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $964,059,000 for
periodic censuses and programs. The recommendation is
$6,101,648,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$22,300,000 below the budget request.
This account provides for the constitutionally mandated
decennial census and other programs which are cyclical in
nature. Additionally, individual surveys are conducted for
other Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis.
Periodic Census Programs.--The Committee's recommendation
supports the Bureau's efforts to improve information security
and data management, but the Committee remains concerned about
the Bureau's ability to contain costs. The Committee's
recommendation provides $2,000,000 for the Office of the
Inspector General [OIG] to continue oversight and audits of the
2010 decennial operations, continuing to provide the Bureau and
Congress with independent recommendations for improving
operations which will be useful for the next decennial census.
2020 Decennial Census.--As the 2010 decennial census
concludes, preparations are already underway for the 2020
decennial census operations. The Committee directs the Bureau
to seriously examine lessons-learned from this recent decennial
census to create more cost-effective operations.
The constitutional mandate to count every person in the
United States has changed little since the first decennial
census in 1790, yet the level of Federal spending used to carry
out this action has expanded exponentially larger than our
population has grown, especially over the last few decades. For
example, the recent 2010 decennial census will cost taxpayers
an estimated $14,800,000,000; an increase of 81 percent above
the 2000 census level despite the fact that the number of
households counted only increased by 14 percent. This
juxtaposition reinforces the Committee's belief that decennial
census operations have become unwieldy. Moreover, advancements
in technology have little effect on improving operational
costs, and technical problems during the 2010 census, such as
inoperable handheld computers, only exacerbated cost overruns.
Had the Bureau opted to conduct an old fashioned paper-based
operation from the beginning, taxpayers might have actually
paid less for this most recent decennial census.
Looking forward, the Bureau has a fresh opportunity to
prove that Government can work smarter and save the taxpayers
money by streamlining operations, eliminating wasteful
processes, providing sounder financial oversight, and taking
better advantage of technology, especially in information
gathering and data management. Therefore, the Committee directs
the Bureau to consider budgeting for the 2020 decennial census
at a level less than the 2010 Census and further consider
spending less than the 2000 Census. Within 90 days of enactment
of this act, the Bureau shall provide the Committee with a
report that includes a 10-year strategic and budgetary plan for
achieving this goal along with descriptions of how the Bureau
can save money compared to the 2010 decennial census and
descriptions of any challenges the Bureau anticipates that
could prevent it from staying below the 2010 or even the 2000
spending level.

the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the same as the budget
request.
The Committee retains language from previous years allowing
the Secretary of Commerce to collect reimbursements from other
Federal agencies for a portion of the cost of coordination of
spectrum management, analysis, and operations. The National
Telecommunications and Information Administration shall submit
a report to the Senate Committee on Appropriations no later
than June 1, 2011, detailing the collection of reimbursements
from other agencies related to spectrum management, analyses,
and research.

Committee recommendation................................ 20,000,000
The Committee provides $20,000,000 for Public
Telecommunications Facilities, Planning, and Construction
[PTFPC] grants. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year
2010 funding level and $20,000,000 above the budget request.
BROADBAND TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010....................................................
Budget estimate, 2011................................... $23,700,000
Committee recommendation................................ 16,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $16,000,000 for
administrative expenses of the Broadband Technology
Opportunities Program [BTOP]. The recommendation is $16,000,000
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $7,700,000 below
the President's request.
The Committee continues to require strong public
transparency regarding how funds are spent and expects to
receive quarterly reports regarding grant activities. The
Committee has provided bill language to transfer funding to the
Office of Inspector General for the express purpose of
conducting continual audit engagements and oversight of BTOP.
Minority Serving Institutions Digital and Wireless
Opportunity Program.--Not later than 60 days after enactment of
this act, the Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the
Committee a report describing the Department's plans to support
and assist minority serving institutions [MSIs] in improving
their instrumentation, connectivity, hardware, and software for
instructional and research purposes as contemplated by the
amendments to the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of
1980. The Committee also encourages the Secretary to work with
MSIs national stakeholder organizations in developing such
strategies.
United States Patent and Trademark Office
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $1,887,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 2,321,724,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,321,724,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $2,321,724,000 for
the United States Patent and Trademark Office [USPTO], which is
equal to the budget request, to be derived from offsetting fee
collections.
USPTO is the central hub of an innovation friendly
Government. USPTO examines patent applications, grants patent
protection for qualified inventions, and disseminates
technological information disclosed in patents. USPTO also
examines trademark applications and provides Federal
registration to owners of qualified trademarks. The USPTO is
subject to the policy direction of the Secretary of Commerce,
but the agency has independent control of its budget,
expenditures, personnel, procurement and other administrative
and management functions. Patent laws administered by the USPTO
encourage invention, innovation, and investment. The USPTO
plays a critical role in promoting the continued development of
intellectual property of the Nation. For established companies,
new patents improve competitiveness, increase productivity,
help bring new products and services to market, and create
jobs.
Fee Collections Projections.--The Committee directs the
USPTO to provide quarterly reports on its projected fee
collections and to notify the Committee during any month when
significant changes in such projections prompt serious concern
or require drastic budgetary responses.
Patent Pendency and Backlog.--The Committee remains
concerned by the lack of progress toward reducing patent
pendency and the overall patent backlog. As such the Committee
has provided bill language to transfer funding to the Office of
Inspector General for the express purpose of conducting
continual audit engagements and oversight at the USPTO.
Any deviations from the funding distribution provided for
in this act, including carryover balances, are subject to the
standard reprogramming procedures set forth in section 505 of
this act. In addition, 60 days after the date of enactment of
this act, the USPTO shall submit to the Committee a spending
plan for fiscal year 2011. This spending plan shall incorporate
all carryover balances from previous fiscal years, and describe
any changes to the patent or trademark fee structure.
Overseas Patent Protection and Small Businesses.--
Protecting U.S. patents can be very costly when the protection
extends to foreign countries especially non-English speaking
counties where translation is required. Once filed, a company
only has 18 months to acquire the resources to protect patents
overseas. For large companies, this practice is financially
manageable, but small businesses must acquire sufficient
venture capital to afford international patenting costs,
usually at the expense of creating new jobs or expanding their
innovation on new ventures. Given today's global marketplace,
U.S.-only patent holdings are no longer sufficiently lucrative
and protection outside the United States may mean the
difference between success and failure for some companies. One
tool that could help these small businesses protect their
intellectual property would be to establish a revolving Federal
fund for international patent protection where U.S. companies
could apply for financial support to help offset patent
protection costs. The fund could be replenished by the
successful return on investment once the patents are awarded
and the company grows.
The Committee directs the Department of Commerce, working
with the USPTO and the International Trade Administration to
provide the Committee with a report within 90 days of enactment
of this act with recommendations on how best to help small
businesses with international patent protection. If such a fund
is a reasonable option, the Department should recommend an
initial level of appropriations, and how the fund could be
managed. The Department should included suggested criteria for
who would be eligible to apply for the program, what criteria
companies would be selected to receive funding, and how the
fund could become financially self-sufficient. If a fund is not
a suitable option, then the Department should provide other
suggestions that could achieve the same solutions to the
problem these small businesses face.
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $856,600,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 918,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 968,100,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $968,100,000 for
the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST]. The
recommendation is $111,500,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and $49,200,000 above the budget request.
The recommendation provides that up to $9,000,000 may be
transferred from the Scientific and Technical Research and
Services account to the Working Capital Fund, which the NIST
uses to purchase equipment for its laboratories.
NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial
competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards,
and technology in ways that enhance economic security and
improve our quality of life. It carries out its mission in four
complementary programs.
A description of each NIST account and the corresponding
Committee recommendation follows in the subsequent three
headings.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL RESEARCH AND SERVICES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $515,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 584,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 584,500,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $584,500,000. The
recommendation is $69,500,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and equal to the budget request.
The Committee's recommendations are displayed in the
following table with specific increases described:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Scientific and Technical Research account funds NIST
Laboratories, which provide the measurement science and
physical standards critical to supporting technology
infrastructure for U.S. innovation. NIST is one of the science
agencies supported by the America COMPETES Act of 2007 (Public
Law 110-69), doubling funding for basic research over 10 years.
The recommendation supports many of the administration's new
initiatives, increasing research funding by more than 13
percent over the 2010 fiscal year level.
National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence.--The Committee
is aware of investments being made to secure our Nation's
national and defense industrial base to the growing threat from
cyber attacks. While a number of Federal agencies play a role
in this important area of information assurance, the Committee
notes that NIST, as the Nation's standard setting entity, plays
a critical role in this area because NIST is the only Federal
lab whose mission is to collaborate with the private sector on
standards. The Committee directs the Director of NIST to
establish and operate a National Cybersecurity Center of
Excellence [NCCOE] at the level of $10,000,000 from within
funds provided in addition to $15,500,000 requested by the
administration for Cybersecurity for Emerging Technologies and
Threats. The NCCOE should be organized to support the full
range of cybersecurity requirements of Federal agencies, State
and local governments, academia, and the private sector. Its
primary focus should be on technology transfer, research and
development, an information clearinghouse, and certification of
cyber solutions and systems. The Committee recommends that the
center include representation from the most relevant Federal
Government agencies, key State government-level representation,
specifically those States that are home of key Federal agencies
with strong cyber missions, and include representatives from
the academic and private sectors, to ensure that the NCCOE
fulfills its mission to connect a wide variety of nationally
significant cybersecurity efforts. Of the funds provided,
$6,650,000 should be for internal NIST requirements to staff
and scale up the center, and $3,350,000 shall be allocated on a
merit-based competitive basis for activities with relevant non-
Federal entities, with particular interest to States with key
private sector partnerships that can help NIST develop the
standards, protocols and pilot initiatives to help ensure cyber
defense solutions in key parts of the national economy.
The Committee includes funding within the amounts provided
for Strategic Measurement Partnerships for the following
congressionally designated projects, and directs the National
Institute of Standards and Technology to refrain from charging
administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects
that the National Institute of Standards and Technology will
provide appropriate management and oversight of each grant.

Budget estimate, 2011................................... 209,600,000
Committee recommendation................................ 199,600,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $199,600,000 for
Industrial Technology Services [ITS]. The recommendation is
$5,000,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$10,000,000 below the budget request. Supporting the Nation's
manufacturers, especially small businesses, is critical to
keeping America innovative in a global marketplace.
The Technology Innovation Program [TIP], created by the
America COMPETES Act of 2007, is currently at point of
transition. While the program provides a unique set of tools to
promote technological innovation outside of the normal range of
mission oriented government innovation programs. However, at
its current and projected funding levels, the program is under
resourced to stimulate widespread transformational
technological innovation. The Committee therefore provides
funding only to continue existing awards, and notes that NIST
must make a decision about the future of the program that makes
highest and best use of limited funding.
CONSTRUCTION OF RESEARCH FACILITIES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $147,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 124,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ 156,706,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $156,706,000 for
construction of research facilities. The recommendation is
$9,706,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$31,906,000 above the budget request.
The Committee directs NIST to provide quarterly reports on
the status of all construction projects.
The recommendation funds the highest priority safety,
capacity, maintenance, and repair projects at NIST.
JILA Expansion.--The Committee provides $2,000,000 for NIST
to complete the JILA expansion.
The Committee provides $48,000,000 for congressionally
designated projects, and directs NIST to refrain from charging
administrative costs to these grants. The Committee expects
that NIST will provide appropriate management and oversight of
each grant.

NOAA's operations, research, and facilities. The recommendation
is $81,031,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$86,128,000 above the budget request.
The Committee provides separate funding for congressionally
designated projects listed after the obligation tables for: the
National Ocean Service; National Marine Fisheries Service;
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, National Weather Service;
National Environmental, Satellite Data, and Information
Service; and Program Support. The Committee directs NOAA to
refrain from charging administrative costs to these grants and
expects NOAA to provide appropriate management and oversight of
each grant.
NOAA NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE
The Committee recommends $501,940,000 for the National
Ocean Service [NOS]. NOS programs provide scientific,
technical, and management expertise to promote safe navigation;
assess the health of coastal and marine resources; respond to
natural and human-induced threats; and preserve the coastal
ocean and global environments.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Integrated Ocean Observing System [IOOS].--The Committee
recommends a total of $33,600,000 for IOOS, of which $6,555,000
is for program administration; $24,000,000 is for a
competitive, regional ocean observing systems solicitation of
which any such solicitation should permit submission of one or
more proposals from academic-based nonprofit organizations
whose members cover three or more regions of the country; and
$5,000,000 is for external funding to test and advance marine
sensor technologies which includes, but is not limited to,
supporting the existing consortium of sensor test beds already
working with NOAA. While the Committee appreciates the
administration's request of marine sensor funding as part of
the NOS portfolio, the Committee is concerned that such funding
was requested as a new initiative within the National Centers
for Coastal Ocean Science [NCCOS] rather than in IOOS where
sensor technology has received extensive support and direction
from Congress.
IOOS continues to demonstrate the value of regional
partnerships to NOAA even as recently as the Deepwater Horizon
oil spill. NOAA's trajectory forecasts of surface oil movement
would not have been as accurate without the aid of IOOS's
network of buoys and other marine instruments broadcasting
constant environment information. Before NOAA embarks on new
regional initiatives, the Committee directs the agency to
strengthen existing programs within NOS that already partner
with coastal and Great Lake States as part of their core
mission.
Coastal Services Center.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $29,995,000, of which $5,000,000 is for the Pacific
Coastal Services Center which was reduced dramatically in the
administration's request. The remainder of the increased
funding is for the gulf coast and west coast service centers,
and for requested new initiatives.
The Committee appreciates the administration's new request
for the Gulf of Mexico Marine Elevation Pilot program which
champions the regional geospatial modeling grants. The
Committee provides an additional $3,000,000 for a total of
$5,000,000 for NOAA to continue issuing external competitive
grants to researchers and resource managers to develop models
or geographic information systems using existing geodetic,
coastal remote sensing data, terrestrial gravity measurements,
or other physical datasets.
Ocean Health Initiative.--The Committee is disappointed
with the administration's reduction in this valuable national
program, and restores the fiscal year 2010 level of $4,000,000.
NOAA's Oceans and Human Health Initiative [OHHI] is
crucial, producing valuable tools and important environmental
information to help ensure safe beaches, seafood, recreational
and drinking waters, and has promoted the discovery of new
pharmaceuticals with beneficial health products. New scientific
knowledge and practical applications have greatly exceeded the
relatively modest investment over recent years. However, the
administration's abysmal request of only $1,000,000 continues
to ignore Congress's recommendations about this program in
previous years. This funding level does not maintain the
program as anticipated by the Oceans and Human Health Act nor
does it prepare our country for the ocean health risks facing
our coastal and Great Lake communities. NOAA is directed to
provide the Committee, within 60 days of enactment of this act,
an updated programmatic plan, that includes realistic budget
figures and justifications, on how NOAA and its Federal OHHI
partners (the National Science Foundation and the National
Institutes of Health) will create a more unified and more
robust OHHI program.
Response and Restoration.--The Committee is encouraged by
NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration's [ORR] operational
leadership demonstrated at the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. ORR
has many seasoned professionals experienced in responding to
hazardous spills across the country. ORR advises the U.S. Coast
Guard and incident leaders on cleanup options, as well as
advises affected Federal, State and local partners on sensitive
marine resources at risk. However, the duration of this spill
has demonstrated that the dedicated staff within ORR are over-
extended. The Committee is concerned that NOAA would struggle
to respond to multiple significant hazardous spills
simultaneously across the country given the relatively low
amount of personnel and resources under the current funding
level. Therefore, the Committee recommends additional funding
to reinforce and build core capabilites. NOAA is directed to
provide the Committee with a long-term budget plan that
reflects an updated and more realistic core staffing and
resource profile based on lessons learned from the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill.
By the summer 2011, the Gulf of Mexico Disaster Response
Center [DRC] will be operational and become the scientific
coordination center for the gulf coast region, serving as a
premier coastal crisis support facility. The DRC will allow
NOAA to apply relevant coastal and maritime services to support
emergency decision makers whether they be public health
officials, on-scene coordinators, fire chiefs, emergency
management directors, or national security officials. Since the
administration neglected to provide funding for this regional
center, the Committee recommends $2,900,000 for initial
operations, and expects NOAA to appropriately staff and fund
the DRC in out-years to achieve operational capacity as the
gulf coast hub for NOAA's emergency preparedness, response, and
recovery operations.
NOAA NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE
The Committee's recommendation provides $909,029,000 for
the National Marine Fisheries Service [NMFS]. NMFS programs
provide for the management and conservation of the Nation's
living marine resources and their environment, including fish
stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species. Using science-
based conservation, management, and restoration activities,
these resources can benefit the Nation on a sustained basis.
NMFS seeks to build sustainable fisheries, recover protected
species, and sustain healthy coastal ecosystems and the
communities that depend on them.

Fisheries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund [AFF].--A July
2010 review by the Office of Inspector General revealed a
serious lack of budgetary oversight of NOAA's Fisheries
Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund which was established to use
revenues from fisheries fines and penalties to pay for
enforcement activities. Record keeping was so poor that an
independent accounting firm found insufficient budget tracking
information to complete their audit. In fact, no single
responsible individual within NOAA had a detailed understanding
of the fund, and revenues clearly co-mingled with other NOAA
finances. Yet, the firm found that NOAA appeared to have little
trouble disbursing monies, at times paying for items only
loosely related to fisheries enforcement, such as international
travel to attend overseas workshops. The complete lack of
budgetary oversight could also mean the agency is in violation
of Federal law since the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that AFF
revenues related to Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management
Plan specially be used to enforce that plan, a requirement of
which key NOAA personnel were not specifically aware. The
Committee provides bill language that essentially freezes the
fund until NOAA completes a full and complete audit, creates a
plan for how the fund can and should be used, and receives
approval from the Committee for its spend plan. Before the
committee approves any new plan from NOAA for the AFF, NOAA
must complete all of the Inspector General's recommendations
submitted with the July 2010 report. NOAA is also directed to
include the AFF in all future fiscal year budget requests.
Chesapeake Bay Oyster Restoration.--The Committee provides
$3,000,000 for oyster restoration in the Chesapeake Bay. Of
these funds, $2,000,000 is provided for oyster restoration in
the Maryland waters of the Chesapeake Bay which shall be for
on-the-ground and in-the water restoration efforts. In
addition, $1,000,000 of these funds are for oyster restoration
in Virginia waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Funds shall not be
used for administrative costs, including banquets or salaries.
Protected Species.--In addition to the amounts requested,
the Committee provides programmatic increases for: Hawaiian
Monk Seal activities for a total of $5,700,000; Hawaiian Sea
Turtle and Incident Take activities for a total of $6,000,000;
the study and protection of cetaceans in the Pacific for a
total of $1,500,000. The Committee also provides additional
funding for a total of $2,244,000 for NOAA's Alaska Native
Marine Mammal Co-management Support of Alaska Native
Organizations as authorized under the Marine Mammal Protection
Act. The Committee also encourages NOAA to support additional
research on Atlantic bottlenose dolphins.
Fisheries Research and Management.--The Committee provides
an increase to the President's request for the Joint Institute
of Marine and Atmospheric Research [JIMAR] Pelagic Fisheries
Research Program [PFRP] for a total funding level of
$2,500,000.
NMFS Facilities.--Within 60 days of enactment of this act,
NOAA is directed to provide the Committee a report detailing a
full analysis of relocating the NMFS northeast regional office.
This central office serves the eastern seaboard from Maine to
North Carolina, and as far west as Minnesota. Better centrally
locating the facility in an area close to NMFS headquarters
would allow greater coordination with senior manaagement of
NOAA and the Department of Commerce. The Committee believes
this will provide for efficiencies and enhance management,
while still maintaining a strong regional presence. NOAA is
also directed to produce a report within 120 days of enactment
of this act detailing the planning and design for a new NMFS
research facility in Mukilteo, Washington, on the former U.S.
Air Force property which was transferred to NOAA in fiscal year
2002.
Survey and Monitoring Projects.--Within the funds provided,
NOAA is directed to fully fund the stock assessment survey and
vessel calibration for the east coast clam fishery using an
industry vessel since NOAA no longer has an agency-operated
fisheries vessel able to conduct this work.
The Committee directs NOAA to provide $350,000 for further
red tide research, and to work with its State marine resource
partners in Maine to expand and continue the red tide sampling
program initiated with Federal disaster funds following the
devastating 2005 red tide season.
Sustainable Habitat Management.--The Committee provides an
additional $750,000 for NOAA, working with the Department of
Defense, to assess environmental impacts and develop mitigation
strategies to restore lost habitat related to the proposed
relocation of troops to Guam.
Fishery Capacity Reduction Program.--The Committee provides
$8,000,000 to reduce the fishing capacity in the Northeast
Multispecies Fishery, also known as the New England
groundfishery. This reduction will enable the fishery to become
more sustainable for the future as NOAA transitions the area's
fishery to a catch share program.
Observer/Training.--In addition to the amounts requested,
the Committee provides programmatic increases for Hawaiian
Longline Observer Program for a total of $5,000,000.
Regional Studies.--The Committee is encouraged by the
administration's increased request for regional studies, but
continues to direct NOAA's Chesapeake Bay Office to collaborate
with the States of Maryland and Virginia. This program will
advance multiple species management by focusing on blue crabs,
oysters, other resource species. In developing this program
NOAA shall continue to utilize the Sea Grant Programs from both
States and with the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science,
particularly the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory [COL].
Chesapeake Bay oyster restoration and spatial planning should
serve as an incentive for both labs to work more closely
together to achieve joint science and management goals. NOAA is
directed to provide the Committee with a report within 60 days
of enactment of this act detailing a clear strategic
partnership between NOAA Chesapeake Bay Laboratory and COL,
complete with collaborative breakouts on personnel, resources
and costs.
Gulf of Mexico Fisheries.--The Deepwater Horizon oil spill
has severely impacted the fisheries of the Gulf of Mexico, and
the long-term impact on individual stocks remains unknown. In
the past, this Committee has requested that NOAA fully solicit,
evaluate, and incorporate fishery-independent survey
information. Unfortunately, the absence of this information
significantly impedes the assessment of the immediate impact of
the spill on Gulf stocks, as well as the ability to predict
long-term impacts. In addition, the fisheries closure has
eliminated the collection of landing data from either the
commercial or recreational fisheries sectors--the other primary
source of stock information. The absence of fishery-dependent
data collection highlights the continued need for surveys that
provide a scientifically designed assessment approach that is
independent of catch data. The Committee therefore again
encourages NOAA to fully implement a fishery-independent data
collection strategy and directs the agency to report to the
Committee on the status of that implementation within 30 days
of enactment of this act.
Lasting negative impacts of the Deepwater Horizon spill
will result in habitat destruction in the Gulf of Mexico. While
fish populations may be partially lost during the active spill
period, their recovery is dependent on viable habitats. A full
and complete evaluation of damage to five major habitats in the
north central Gulf of Mexico is needed. These habitats include:
seagrasses, coastal marshes, oyster reefs, hard bottom, and
sargassum communities. This assessment should include relative
percent of destruction, degree of damage, estimated timeframe
for recovery, and possible sources of mitigation. The Committee
expects NMFS, in coordination with the impacted States, to
undertake a full study of the long-term negative impacts of the
Deepwater Horizon spill on fisheries habitat in the northern
Gulf of Mexico and to seek reimbursement for the costs from the
responsible parties.
NOAA OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH
The Committee's recommendation provides $438,710,000 for
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research [OAR]. OAR programs provide
the environmental research and technology needed to improve
NOAA weather, air quality warnings, forecasts, climate
predictions, and marine services. To accomplish these goals,
OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research
laboratories, universities, and joint institutes and
partnership programs.

Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes.--The Committee
remains concerned that NOAA is underfunding new cooperative
institutes, creating partnership with the external community
under false financial pretenses. The Committee provides an
increase to help bridge this gap, but expects the
administration to fully fund these cooperative institutes and
laboratories at appropriate levels in future years.
National Sea Grant College Program.--The Committee provides
$63,100,000, of which $4,500,000 is for marine aquaculture
research and $2,000,000 is for aquatic invasive species
research; both activities shall be coordinated by NOAA's Sea
Grant office. The Committee continues to recognize the
important role the Sea Grant program plays in connecting
coastal and Great Lakes communities with practical research and
results, and encourages the growth of this program in future
budget requests.
Ocean Exploration.--The Committee continues to fund the
Ocean Exploration program and the National Undersea Research
Program separately, as these are two distinctly different
activities, a consideration that was reinforced by the separate
authorizations in the recent Omnibus Public Lands Management
Act (Public Law 111-11). The Committee provides additional
funding for Ocean Exploration to further support ongoing
shipboard operations and collaborative expeditions.
NOAA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
The Committee's recommendation provides $919,686,000 for
the NOAA National Weather Service [NWS]. NWS programs provide
timely and accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic
warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the population,
mitigate property losses, and improve the economic productivity
of the Nation. NWS is also responsible for issuing operational
climate forecasts for the United States.

National Centers for Environmental Prediction [NCEP].--The
Committee encourages NCEP to continue to improve the
performance of its computer modeling for weather, climate,
hydrological and ocean prediction to ensure U.S. forecasting
capabilities lead the world. The Committee encourages NCEP to
fully draw upon the resources of the U.S. academic community to
better implement emerging scientific and technological
advances.
Williston Radar.--The Committee remains concerned about the
ability of the National Weather Service [NWS] to adequately
forecast weather, especially snow events, without the Williston
radar. NOAA is directed to continue operations and staffing at
the Williston Radar Station until independent research
substantiates that any other radars in the forecast area can
provide coverage for all light and heavy weather activity in
the region.
National Mesonet Program.--The Committee recommends
$20,400,000 for continuation and expansion of the National
Mesonet program. Funds shall be allocated as follows: (1)
$13,400,000 to maintain data procurements from existing surface
in-situ observations including those initiated during the
initial phases of the program as well as those added during
recent years; (2) $4,000,000 for expansion of surface in-situ
observations in all areas of the country including urban and
non-urban rural, coastal and mountainous regions for purposes
of weather and climate monitoring; (3) $2,000,000 for
establishment of a National Mesonet Test Bed Project to
demonstrate the integration of multifunctional observing
systems including both surface in-situ and remote sensing
profilers for improved forecasts and benefits to such top
priority segments of our economy including renewable energy
growth and aviation efficiencies; (4) $500,000 for enhancements
to the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System [MADIS]
including continued evolution of metadata handling and
performance capabilities; and (5) $500,000 for National Mesonet
program office for oversight and data utilization initiatives.
Funds for MADIS expansion should be contingent upon submission
of a plan that shows a multi-year justification for why MADIS
expansion is preferable to competitive procurement of tools
developed by the private sector for the same purpose. The
Committee is deeply disappointed that the fiscal year 2011
budget request ignored the 2009 National Research Council
report, Observing Weather and Climate From the Ground Up: A
Nationwide Network of Networks, which called for the
establishment of a federally funded national mesonet program
and expects NOAA to include in its fiscal year 2012 budget a
robust and expanded national mesonet program.
NOAA NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE, DATA, AND INFORMATION SERVICE
The Committee's recommendation provides $199,363,000 for
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service
[NESDIS]. NESDIS programs operate environmental polar-orbiting
and geostationary satellites and collect and archive global
environmental data and information for distribution to users in
commerce, industry, agriculture, science and engineering, the
general public, and Federal, State, and local agencies.

Archive, Access and Assessment.--The Committee is aware of
the importance of NOAA's climate data modernization program as
NOAA seeks to take an enhanced role in climate change research
and analysis. As such, it directs the Agency to submit a robust
2012 request for this program at a level not less than that
enacted in fiscal year 2010.
Regional Climate Centers.--The Committee recommends
$3,000,000 for the Regional Climate Centers. The Committee
expects NOAA to include the centers as part of the Agency's
future climate change activities and to provide for full
participation in high capacity networks such as NWave.
NOAA-WIDE PROGRAM SUPPORT
The Committee recommendation provides $459,183,000 for
NOAA-wide program support. These programs provide for overall
NOAA management, including staffing of the Under Secretary's
office and services to NOAA and DOC field offices through the
regional Administrative Support Centers. These programs also
support NOAA's Education Office consistent with the
recommendations of the Joint Ocean Commission. The facilities
subactivity provides for repair and maintenance to existing
facilities; facilities planning and design; and environmental
compliance. The Office of Marine and Aviation Operations
provides aircraft and marine data acquisition, repair, and
maintenance of the existing fleet, planning of future
modernization, and technical and management support for NOAA-
wide activities through the NOAA Commissioned Corps.

NOAA Education.--The Committee strongly supports NOAA's
education programs to increase environmental and ocean literacy
and recommends $28,400,000 to the budget request for
competitive education grants, of which $14,400,000 is for
NOAA's Educational Partnership Program for Minority Serving
Institutions. Within the remaining funds, NOAA is directed to
use $3,000,000 of these funds to continue education and public
outreach opportunities with accredited zoos and aquariums, an
initiative created in fiscal year 2011. NOAA is also directed
to use $3,000,000 to work with external partners with
experience in geographic education to improve geography
teaching, training and research in our Nation's schools
starting by using NOAA's national network of weather and
environmental activities across the country as one tool to
improve geography literacy.
B-WET.--The committee provides $7,200,000 for NOAA's
successful regional B-WET education partnership program, of
which, no less than $1,500,000 shall be for Hawaii's B-WET
program, and no less than $3,500,000 shall be for the
Chesapeake B-WET program.
Marine Services.--The Committee is concerned that NOAA's
budget does not properly reflect the true operational need of
NOAA's fleet of research vessels and that days at sea are
eroding from the science schedules. The Committee provides
additional funding to help ensure safe and adequate shipboard
staffing and outfitting.

Joint Polar Satellite System [JPSS].--The Committee's
recommendation includes funding for the Joint Polar Satellite
System within ``NOAA Satellite and Climate Sensors''. Of the
funds made available, priority shall be given to ensuring the
2014 launch date of JPSS-1 with focus on minimizing the
potential gap in civil weather forecasting. The Committee is
encouraged by the administration's decision to restructure the
highly troubled National Polar-orbiting Operational
Environmental Satellite System [NPOESS] and believes that the
agency's initial step to procure a second NPOESS Preparatory
Project [NPP] satellite for JPSS-1 is a strong step in the
right direction for reducing risk and minimizing the potential
gap in civil weather forecasting and climate data collection.
However, the Committee is not convinced that the legacy of cost
overruns and enormous administrative overheads associated with
this inflated and failed program have been entirely exorcized.
While the Committee appreciates the administration's efforts to
request contingency funding that appears to better manage large
acquisitions risk, the vague budget submission is riddled with
broad placeholders that have yet to be refined despite repeated
requests from the Committee for further details. The Committee
has difficulty understanding how the administration can add
$678,600,000 to a $382,200,000 satellite program in 1 year--
which is a 278 percent increase--when the budget justification
lacks meaningful details and extremely critical contract
decisions have yet to be made 6 months after the budget was
released. In addition, the administration has completely
dismissed congressional guidance that NOAA procure operational
satellites able to acquire reliable weather forecasting data,
not risky experimental research satellites best suited for
NASA. The Committee remains deeply concerned about the
potential out year costs of the proposed JPSS program,
recognizing that without aggressive oversight and fiscal
vigilance, this program has the potential to overwhelm the
remainder of NOAA's future budgets. The Committee directs NOAA
to provide a smaller, less expensive path forward for JPSS in a
detailed budget plan no later than 30 days after enactment of
this act, and directs NOAA to provide monthly programmatic and
procurement status reports to the Committee.
DSCVR/ACE Replacement.--The Committee has provided
$9,500,000 for DSCVR and replacement of the ACE spacecraft, the
same amount as requested. The Committee directs NOAA to report
to the Committees on Appropriations by February 15, 2011 on the
most expeditious and cost effective options for making DSCVR
operational and replacing the ACE spacecraft.

TITLE II
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
The Committee recommends a total of $29,896,095,000 for the
Department of Justice [DOJ]. The recommendation is
$1,818,411,000 above the fiscal year 2010 funding level,
excluding emergency supplemental appropriations, and
$159,580,000 above the budget request.
Staying in Front of Emerging Technologies.--With the advent
of third and fourth generation communication networks,
Americans will enjoy more flexibility, capabilities, and
choices in when, where, and how they communicate than ever
before. These technological advances will drive innovation and
development across the economy. However, as witnessed by
terrorists' use of BlackBerry devices in the recent tragedy in
Mumbai, India, criminals are also capitalizing on emerging
communications technologies. In the United States, State,
local, and Federal law enforcement have used electronic
surveillance to track down, apprehend, and prosecute members of
drug trafficking organizations, violent transnational gangs,
and child pornography and prostitution rings. The Attorney
General's recent announcement of Operation Deliverance is one
example of such success.
The Committee is concerned that with the rapid deployment
of telecommunications and data communications technology, law
enforcement does not have the ability to keep up with these
technological changes, impacting collection, and surveillance
capabilities. Without a proactive approach to addressing these
technological gaps, criminal investigations will be crippled.
The Committee directs the Attorney General to report to the
Committee no later than 120 days after enactment of this act on
whether the Department of Justice has the resources it needs to
preserve law enforcement's electronic surveillance capabilities
in the face of third and fourth generation communication
technologies. If not, the Committee directs the Attorney
General to provide recommendations on what resources are
necessary to ensure that Federal law enforcement agencies, as
well as State and local law enforcement, maintain the
technological capabilities to conduct lawful electronic
surveillance.
DNA Analysis Quality Standards.--The Committee has reviewed
the recent NIJ report titled ``Making Sense of DNA Backlogs--
Myths vs. Reality'' and agrees with the findings that backlogs
are not a onetime event and that the solution is to increase
the capacity of the Nation's crime labs to respond to the
increase of DNA evidence. However, the Committee is concerned
that the desire to eliminate backlogs may result in decisions
that could jeopardize the quality of the analysis being done.
The Committee expects, therefore, that all Federal funds spent
on the analysis of DNA must comply with quality assurance
practices required of an National DNA Index System [NDIS]-
participating laboratory including, but not limited to, the
FBI's quality assurance standards for forensic DNA testing
laboratories; standard 1 (scope) through standard 17
(outsourcing), including the external audit review process;
Office of Inspector General audits; and National DNA Index
System assessments by FBI Combined DNA Index System CODIS
units, as well as compliance with all other forensic
accreditation standards required by internationally recognized
accrediting bodies.
General Administration
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $118,488,000
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................ 223,336,000
Committee recommendation................................ 149,565,000
\1\Includes $10,778,000 for acquisition workforce capacity and
capabilities that was requested within title II General Provisions.
The Committee's recommendation provides $149,565,000 for
General Administration salaries and expenses. The
recommendation is $31,627,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and $71,771,000 below the budget request.
The General Administration account provides funding for
senior policy officials responsible for Departmental management
and policy development. The specific offices funded by this
account include the following: the immediate Office of the
Attorney General; the immediate Office of the Deputy Attorney
General; the immediate Office of the Associate Attorney
General; Office of Legal Policy; Office of Public Affairs;
Office of Legislative Affairs; Office of Professional
Responsibility; Office of Intergovernmental and Public Liaison;
and the Justice Management Division.
Terrorism Prosecutions of Guantanamo Bay Detainees.--The
Committee's recommendation does not include $72,771,000
requested for the anticipated first year costs for security,
litigation, housing, and transportation associated with the
civilian trials of the five alleged conspirators of the 9/11
terrorist attacks currently held in detention facilities at
Guantanamo Bay. This reduction reflects the fact that the
administration has not submitted a plan to prosecute these
cases.
Acquisition Improvements.--The Committee supports the goals
of the Government-wide request for improvements to acquisition
workforce capabilities and capacities. These activities may be
funded from within amounts provided, up to $10,778,000.
Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin
Americans of Japanese Descent.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $1,700,000 for the activities authorized by section
540 of this act.
NATIONAL DRUG INTELLIGENCE CENTER
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $44,023,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 44,580,000
Committee recommendation................................ 44,580,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $44,580,000 for the
National Drug Intelligence Center [NDIC]. The recommendation is
$557,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to
the budget request.
JUSTICE INFORMATION SHARING TECHNOLOGY
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $88,285,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 179,785,000
Committee recommendation................................ 165,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $165,000,000 for
Justice Information Sharing Technology. The recommendation is
$76,715,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$14,785,000 below the budget request.
Cyber Security.--The Committee's recommendation includes
$32,100,000 as requested, to strengthen DOJ's cyber security
program. The Committee supports the Department's efforts to
better protect its networks and other information technology
assets and hopes that these resources will allow DOJ to achieve
the same success in cyber security implementation as it has
achieved on its FISMA report card.
LAW ENFORCEMENT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $206,143,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 207,727,000
Committee recommendation................................ 207,727,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $207,727,000 for
Tactical Law Enforcement Wireless Communications. The
recommendation is $1,584,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted
level and equal to the budget request.
This account centrally funds development, acquisition,
deployment, operation and maintenance of the Justice
Department's narrowband wireless communications network.
IWN Funding.--The Department of Justice has warned
repeatedly that failure to modernize and replace the antiquated
patchwork of legacy DOJ component radio systems will jeopardize
the safety of Federal agents in the field and impede their
ability to protect the country from terrorism, espionage and
violent crime. Because of its projected cost, scope and mission
criticality, the Department maintains that the IWN program is
one of its single most important current investments.
However, the request for IWN does not sufficiently address
the Department's communications deficiencies, security
vulnerabilities and system reliability, and will contribute to
the ongoing delays in the nationwide deployment of their
consolidated wireless radio solution. Accordingly, the
Committee directs the Department to use these funds for
accelerated IWN deployment in high priority metropolitan
regions and interim solutions along the Southwest border. The
Committee recognizes the need to modernize and upgrade aging
and failing systems along the Southwest border and in other
high threat areas of the country.
Consistent with direction in the explanatory statements
accompanying Public Law 111-117, all funds for IWN should be
spent on modernization and improvement of land mobile radio
[LMR] systems. Any plans related to secure cellular or data
systems, or non-LMR tactical equipment, must be budgeted for
and requested separately. To aid in program management and
oversight, the Department is directed to continue submitting
quarterly reports to the Committee on the Department's progress
and achievement in meeting the established performance
milestones for the use of IWN funds. Continued funding support
for IWN in future years will be contingent on the Department's
success in achieving its milestones within cost, schedule and
performance expectations.
The Committee notes that the Department has fallen behind
schedule and has not submitted the IWN quarterly reports to the
House and Senate Appropriations Committees in a timely fashion.
The Committee is also concerned that components of the
Department sole-source LMR contracts that may not be Project-25
compliant, yet communications and interoperable grants
administered by the Department require the equipment to be
compliant. The Department should ensure components are
purchasing P-25 compliant equipment, and is directed to detail
these efforts in the quarterly reports.
The Committee supports the broadest possible use of IWN
across law enforcement agencies. However, the Department does
not have the budgetary resources to fund other agencies' use of
the network. Should other agencies choose to use the network,
they should assume the full cost of their participation.
Administrative Review and Appeals
Appropriations, 2010\1\................................. $296,685,000
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................ 315,220,000
Committee recommendation\1\............................. 315,420,000
\1\Net of a $4,000,000 transfer from the USCIS Immigration Examiners Fee
Account.
The Committee's recommendation provides $315,420,000 for
Administrative Review and Appeals. The recommendation is
$18,735,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$200,000 above the budget request.
This account funds the Executive Office for Immigration
Review [EOIR], including the Board of Immigration Appeals,
immigration judges, and administrative law judges who decide
through administrative hearings whether to admit or exclude
aliens seeking to enter the country, and whether to deport or
adjust the status of aliens whose status has been challenged.
This account also funds the Office of the Pardon Attorney which
receives, investigates, and considers petitions for all forms
of executive clemency.
Immigration and Southwest Border Initiative.--The
Committee's recommendation includes the requested increase of
$11,039,000 in the budget for EOIR's Immigration and Southwest
Border Initiative to add 21 Immigration Judge Teams, 10 Board
of Immigration Appeals [BIA] attorneys, and related immigration
court and BIA support staff.
EOIR receives cases directly from Department of Homeland
Security [DHS] enforcement personnel, in which the Government
is seeking the removal of aliens who are in the United States
without lawful status or who have committed some act, typically
a criminal offense, that renders them removable. EOIR's
immigration court caseload continues to increase to
unsustainable levels as a result of heightened and border
enforcement efforts. The caseload grew 30 percent between
fiscal year 2004 and 2009, from 300,000 to 390,000 new matters
coming to EOIR for resolution each year. The number of new
cases is expected to exceed 400,000 annually by 2011. Increased
funding will enhance EOIR's ability to provide timely
adjudications, thus enabling DHS to process those found
removable immediately upon completion of their sentences, and
assisting greatly in the efficient use of detention beds.
Legal Orientation Program [LOP].--The Committee
recommendation includes $6,200,000, an increase of $200,000, to
cover the costs associated with the recent implementation and
expansion of the LOP. The Committee encourages EOIR to dedicate
additional funds to the LOP, as necessary and available, to
ensure that there is no reduction in the level of support for
LOP from year to year.
The Committee continues its strong support of the LOP,
which provides guidance to detained aliens about their legal
rights and responsibilities in the immigration court system.
Apprehended individuals benefit from better information about
immigration removal proceedings, and the U.S. taxpayer benefits
from reduced detention costs through a more efficient legal
process. The Committee expects EOIR to seek alien-specific
detention costs and duration of detention data from Immigration
and Customs Enforcement in order to develop a more accurate
estimate of the cost savings to the Federal Government provided
by participation in the LOP.
The Committee's recommendation includes $2,000,000 for
Legal Orientation Programs for custodians of unaccompanied
alien children to address the custodian's responsibility for
the child's appearance at all immigration proceedings, and to
protect the child from mistreatment, exploitation, and
trafficking.
Detention Trustee
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $1,438,663,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 1,533,863,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,533,863,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $1,533,863,000 for
the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee [OFDT]. The
recommendation is $95,200,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and equal to the budget request.
The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee account
provides oversight of detention management, and improvement and
coordination of detention activities to ensure that Federal
agencies involved in detention provide for the safe, secure,
and humane confinement of persons in the custody of the United
States.
The Committee remains concerned about the Department's
ability to anticipate the true funding needs for this account.
OFDT had either not requested sufficient resources to meet its
projected needs or its projections are too inaccurate to serve
as predictors of the annual funding requirements. On several
occasions OFDT has had to seek Committee approval for
reprogrammings to avert deficiencies.
The Committee directs the Detention Trustee to continue
reporting to the Committee on a quarterly basis the number of
individuals in the detention trustee system, the projected
number of individuals, and the annualized costs associated with
them.
Office of Inspector General
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $84,368,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 88,792,000
Committee recommendation................................ 89,792,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $89,792,000 for the
Office of the Inspector General. The recommendation is
$5,424,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$1,000,000 above the budget request.
This account finances the activities of the Office of
Inspector General [IG] including audits, inspections,
investigations and other reviews of programs and operations of
the Department of Justice to promote economy, efficiency and
effectiveness, and to prevent and detect fraud, waste and
abuse, as well as violations of ethical standards arising from
the conduct of Department employees in their numerous and
diverse activities.

enacted level and $13,000,000 below the budget request.
This appropriation funds the establishment of litigation
policy, conduct of litigation, and various other legal
responsibilities, through the Office of the Solicitor General,
the Tax Division, the Criminal Division, the Civil Division,
the Environmental and Natural Resources Division, the Civil
Rights Division, the Office of Legal Counsel, Interpol-U.S.
National Central Bureau, and the Office of Dispute Resolution.
The Committee strongly supports the additional resources
proposed by the Department's litigation divisions, for which
inadequate funding has been proposed in past years. The
Committee's recommendation provides $5,300,000 for the Human
Trafficking and Slavery Prosecution Unit [HTSPU], equal to the
budget request, to fight human trafficking and slavery. The
Committee is also particularly supportive of the additional
resources proposed for the Civil Rights Division to continue
restoring its base capacity to enforce civil rights laws;
expanding its capacity to prosecute and provide litigation
support for human trafficking, hate crimes, and unsolved civil
rights era crimes; carrying out its responsibilities associated
with the civil rights of institutionalized persons and the
access of rights of the disabled; and enhance the enforcement
of fair housing and fair lending laws.
The Committee remains concerned by the large number of
suspected human rights violators from foreign countries who
have found safe haven in the United States and directs the
Criminal Division to continue increasing efforts to investigate
and prosecute serious human rights crimes, including genocide,
torture, use or recruitment of child soldiers, and war crimes.
For this purpose, within the available funds the Committee
directs that $1,800,000 be allocated for attorneys, analysts,
and support personnel in the Criminal Division to investigate
and prosecute individuals who violate Federal laws on serious
human rights abuses.
The Committee recommendations, by Division, are displayed

Exploited and Missing Children.--The Committee provides an
additional $1,500,000 above the request to enhance INTERPOL's
efforts to establish a dedicated global unit to fight child
exploitation. These resources will assist in enforcing
requirements outlined in the Adam Walsh Child Protection and
Safety Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-248) and assist in other
initiatives to combat child sexual exploitation.
THE NATIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINE INJURY ACT
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $7,833,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 7,833,000
Committee recommendation................................ 7,833,000
The Committee's recommendation provides a reimbursement of
$7,833,000 for legal costs. The recommendation is equal to the
fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the budget request.
This account covers Justice Department expenses associated
with litigating cases under the National Childhood Vaccine
Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660).
ANTITRUST DIVISION
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $163,170,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 167,028,000
Committee recommendation................................ 167,028,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $167,028,000 for
the Antitrust Division. The recommendation is $3,858,000 above
the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget
request. This appropriation is offset by $96,000,000 in pre-
merger filing fee collections, resulting in a direct
appropriation of $71,028,000.
UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $1,934,003,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 2,041,269,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,036,269,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $2,036,269,000 for
the U.S. Attorney's salaries and expenses. The recommendation
is $102,266,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$5,000,000 below the budget request.
As in past years, the Committee directs the U.S. Attorneys
[USAs] to focus their efforts on those crimes where the unique
resources, expertise, or jurisdiction of the Federal Government
can be most effective. The Committee expects that the resources
provided be directed to the highest priorities of the USAs.
Adam Walsh Act Implementation.--The Committee expects EOUSA
to continue to focus on investigations and prosecutions related
to the sexual exploitation of children, as authorized by the
Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, Public Law
109-248. Not less than $38,460,000 shall be available for this
purpose in fiscal year 2011.
Combating Financial Fraud.--Within funds provided, the
Committee includes the requested programmatic increase of
$17,200,000 and 109 positions including 88 new attorneys, to
enhance efforts in areas of mortgage fraud, bankruptcy,
affirmative civil enforcement, and white collar crimes.
Human Trafficking.--The Committee directs the EOUSA, in
consultation with the United States Attorneys, to designate a
point of contact in each U.S. Attorney office who shall serve
as the coordinator for all activities within that office
concerning human trafficking and slavery matters covered by the
Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Designating a point of
contact will improve communication and coordination within each
jurisdiction, including with victim service organizations, in
order to better serve the victims of human trafficking and
slavery.
UNITED STATES TRUSTEE SYSTEM FUND
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $219,250,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 236,435,000
Committee recommendation................................ 236,435,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $236,435,000 for
the U.S. Trustee System Fund. The recommendation is $17,185,000
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the
budget request. The appropriation is offset by $231,435,000 in
fee collections and $5,000,000 derived from interest on
investments in U.S. securities, resulting in a direct
appropriation of $0, which is equal to the budget request.
The United States Trustee Program, authorized by 28 U.S.C.
581 et seq., is the component of the Justice Department with
responsibility for protecting the integrity of the bankruptcy
system by overseeing case administration and litigation to
enforce the bankruptcy laws. In fiscal year 2011, the U.S.
Trustee Program will participate in an estimated 1.6 million
business and consumer bankruptcy case filings.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES, FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT COMMISSION
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $2,117,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 2,159,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,159,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $2,159,000 for the
Foreign Claims Settlement Commission. The recommendation is
$42,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to
the budget request.
The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission settles claims of
American citizens arising from nationalization, expropriation,
or other takings of their properties and interests by foreign
governments.
FEES AND EXPENSES OF WITNESSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $168,300,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 270,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 270,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $270,000,000 for
fees and expenses of witnesses. The recommendation is equal to
the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $101,700,000 above the
budget request.
This appropriation, which is considered mandatory for
scorekeeping purposes, provides for fees and expenses of
witnesses who appear on behalf of the Government in cases in
which the United States is a party, including fact and expert
witnesses. These funds are also used for mental competency
examinations, as well as witness and informant protection.
Expert Witnesses.--Within funds provided, the Committee
includes the requested programmatic increase of $92,000,000 to
respond to the increased needs for expert witnesses among the
litigating divisions and the U.S. Attorney offices. These
expenses have traditionally been funded in part through
existing balances; however, that approach left the Department's
budget for acquiring the services of expert witnesses tight in
recent years. Given the substantial increase recommended for
fiscal year 2011 in resources for payment of fees and expenses
of expert witnesses, the Committee expects that no funds will
be expended for expert witness services from any DOJ accounts
but Fees and Expenses of Witnesses.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $11,479,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 12,606,000
Committee recommendation................................ 12,606,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $12,606,000 for the
Community Relations Service. The recommendation is $1,127,000
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the
budget request. Within the funds provided, as authorized by the
Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act (Public Law 110-
344), the Committee expects that the Community Relations
Service will continue partnering with law enforcement agencies
and communities in conflict, resulting from the investigation
of unsolved civil rights era cold cases. Therefore, the
Committee supports the budget request of $250,000 dedicated to
support CRS involvement assisting and serving as mediators by
bringing together law enforcement agencies and communities in
conflict resulting from the investigation of violations of
criminal civil rights statutes, specifically regarding issues
surrounding civil rights and cold cases.
The Community Relations Service, established by title X of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, provides assistance to
communities and persons in the prevention and resolution of
disagreements arising from discriminatory practices.
ASSETS FORFEITURE FUND
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $20,990,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 20,990,000
Committee recommendation................................ 20,990,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $20,990,000 for the
Assets Forfeiture Fund. The recommendation is equal to the
fiscal year 2010 enacted level and to the budget request.
The Assets Forfeiture Fund [AFF] provides funds for
qualifying expenses of Federal law enforcement agencies and
their State or local partners. Funds for these activities are
provided from receipts deposited in the Assets Forfeiture Fund
resulting from the seizure and liquidation of assets. Expenses
related to the management and disposal of assets are also
provided from the Assets Forfeiture Fund by a permanent
indefinite appropriation.
United States Marshals Service
salaries and expenses
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $1,125,763,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 1,180,534,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,190,534,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $1,190,534,000 for
the U.S. Marshals Service [USMS] salaries and expenses. The
recommendation is $64,771,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and $10,000,000 above the budget request.
The core mission of the USMS includes the apprehension of
fugitives, protection of the Federal judiciary, protection of
witnesses, execution of warrants and court orders, and the
custody and transportation of accused and unsentenced
prisoners.
Judicial and Courthouse Security.--The Committee recommends
an appropriation of $467,018,000 for judicial and courthouse
security. The recommendation is $13,992,000 above the fiscal
year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget request.
Judicial Security Training.--The conferees note that the
Office of the Inspector General [OIG] issued a December 2009
report on protection of the judiciary and U.S. Attorneys that
found that Federal judges, U.S. Attorneys and Assistant U.S.
Attorneys [AUSAs] were not consistently reporting threats on a
timely basis and, more troubling, not reporting threats at all
in some instances. The Committee is concerned that the Federal
judiciary and U.S. Attorneys' Offices may fail to participate
in security and threat training, and recommends better
communication between the Marshals Service and their protectees
to clarify the categories of security threats and coordination
to ensure that reporting and response processes are in place.
The Committee directs the Inspector General to audit the
attendance of judges, U.S. attorneys and AUSAs at judicial
security training provided by the U.S. Marshals Service, also
taking into account whether any independent security training
is occurring. The OIG is to report its findings to the
Committee on attendance at these security trainings for fiscal
year 2010 within 120 days of enactment of this act. In
addition, the OIG is to report its findings to the Committee on
attendance at these security trainings for fiscal year 2011 by
November 1, 2011.
Immigration Enforcement.--The Committee strongly supports
the U.S. Marshals Service increase in funding for immigration
enforcement. The flow of human trafficking and narcotics into
the United States, along with smuggling of illegal firearms and
criminal profits out of the United States has had a devastating
effect on the country, as well as Canada and Mexico. In the
past, the U.S. Marshals Service was forced to divert resources
from fugitive apprehension to address this growing problem. The
Committee hopes that these additional resources will alleviate
pressure on other marshals programs.
Sexual Offender Apprehension.--The Adam Walsh Child
Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-248) gives
the U.S. Marshals Service the authority to treat as fugitives
convicted sex offenders who fail to register. It also directs
the marshals to assist jurisdictions in locating and
apprehending these individuals. There are roughly 135,000 non-
compliant offenders in the United States.
The Committee commends the U.S. Marshals Service for
annualizing $50,985,000 of prior year supplemental and annual
funds into its 2011 budget request for enforcement of the Adam
Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. To date, the USMS has
hired 170 new deputy marshals to assist States in locating and
apprehending sex offenders who violate sex offender
registration requirements. The Committee is concerned, however,
that the administration requests no additional resources to
expand this program beyond the current level of effort. The
U.S. Marshals Service estimates it needs a dedicated force of
at least 500 deputy marshals to fulfill its Adam Walsh Act
responsibilities. Therefore, the Committee appropriates an
additional $10,000,000 above the budget request for the
Marshals Service to hire an additional 50 deputy marshals to
expand Adam Walsh enforcement activities in districts across
the country, with the goal of hiring and equipping 500 new
deputy marshals in total by 2015. The Committee would also urge
the Department of Justice to submit a reprogramming request in
2011 that would reallocate funds from lower priority programs
across the Department to enable the Marshals Service to enhance
its Adam Walsh enforcement mission.
This funding will also continue support for the National
Sex Offender Targeting Center, improve the agency's information
technology backbone, and reinforce the agency's infrastructure
so that deputy marshals have timely, accurate investigative
information to track down and arrest those who prey on our
Nation's children.
Regional Fugitive Task Forces.--The Committee strongly
supports the U.S. Marshals Service's Regional Fugitive Task
Forces [RFTFs], which are effective partnerships with other
Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies to apprehend
violent fugitives, including violent sex offenders. The
Committee directs the USMS, within the increase provided above
the enacted level, to provide at least $20,000,000 to enhance
the seven existing task forces and establish new task force
capabilities in areas of the United States not currently served
by RFTFs.
CONSTRUCTION
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $26,625,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 26,625,000
Committee recommendation................................ 26,625,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $26,625,000 for
construction in space controlled, occupied, or utilized by the
USMS in United States courthouses and Federal buildings,
including but not limited to the creation, renovation, and
expansion of prisoner movement areas, elevators, and other law
enforcement and court security support space. As in prior
years, the Committee's intent is to provide for all
construction activity to support the mission of the USMS in
protection of the Federal judiciary and other law enforcement
activities.
NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $87,938,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 99,537,000
Committee recommendation................................ 99,537,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $99,537,000 for the
National Security Division [NSD]. The recommendation is
$11,599,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal
to the budget request.
The National Security Division [NSD] coordinates the
Department's national security and terrorism missions through
law enforcement investigations and prosecutions, and handling
counterespionage cases. The NSD works in coordination with the
FBI, the Intelligence Community, and U.S. attorneys. Its
primary function is to prevent acts of terrorism and espionage
from being perpetrated in the United States by foreign powers.
Interagency Law Enforcement
INTERAGENCY CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMENT
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $528,569,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 579,319,000
Committee recommendation................................ 574,319,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $574,319,000 for
Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement. The recommendation is
$45,750,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$5,000,000 below the budget request.
The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement Account funds
the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces [OCDETF],
which is the centerpiece of the Department's drug enforcement
and counternarcotics efforts. The mission of OCDETF is to
ensure a coordinated, multi-agency approach to identifying,
disrupting and dismantling those drug trafficking and money
laundering organizations primarily responsible for the Nation's
illicit drug supply and drug-related violence. Through its nine
intelligence-based, prosecutor-led regional task forces, this
program utilizes the seven Federal law enforcement agencies to
target major drug trafficking organizations and their financial
infrastructure. This account also funds the OCDETF Fusion
Center [OFC], an operational intelligence center combining the
analytical resources and intelligence information of the OCDETF
member agencies and others.
Southwest Border Enforcement Initiative.--The Committee is
concerned about the continuing violence and crime on the
Southwest border and supports the Department's coordinated
approach to address illegal narcotics and related criminal
activities and violence there. Therefore, the Committee
provides the full budget request of $176,100,000, an increase
of $37,339,000 over the fiscal year 2010 enacted level to hire
and deploy 158 new positions, including 29 agents and 58
attorneys, to support a significant expansion of and investment
in the OCDETF program on the Southwest border. This will deploy
resources pursuant to a single, coherent strategic plan that
will provide for escalating enforcement and prosecutorial
activities along the Southwest border and in interior regions
of the United States affected significantly by Southwest border
drug trafficking.
Increased resources will allow OCDETF to expand the number
of high priority drug investigations and initiatives it
supports, such as Mexican and Columbian fugitive apprehension
teams; collocated, collaborative strike forces of ATF, FBI,
U.S. Marshals Service and DEA agents; intelligence capacity;
Southwest border investigative and prosecutorial activities;
and the new Southwest Border Threat Response Unit to better
support OCDETF title III wiretap requests.
Sophisticated, Mexico-based, transnational criminal
organizations are responsible for the violence along the
border. The Department has proven that the best way to fight
such large scale criminal organizations is through the
prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency task forces
of the OCDETF Program, which blend the strengths, resources and
expertise of the complete spectrum of Federal, State, local and
international investigative and prosecutorial agencies.
OCDETF's coordinated attack has yielded some of the most
significant progress against the Mexican cartels to date, such
as Projects Coronado and Deliverance. Through the coordination
of the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, OCDETF
provides a coordinated, inter-agency process and effort to
ensure that resources are targeted to the most urgent needs.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $7,557,556,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 8,083,475,000
Committee recommendation................................ 8,083,475,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $8,083,475,000 for
the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] salaries and
expenses. The recommendation is $424,853,000 above the fiscal
year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget request.
Five-Year Budget.--Implementation of a multi-year budget
planning approach has been urged by the Committee in the past,
as well as various external review groups, such as the National
Academy for Public Administration. This approach will also
allow the FBI to better participate in the Intelligence
Community budget process. The Committee encourages the FBI to
continue pursuing the 5-year budget within the administration.
Surveillance.--The FBI's surveillance program provides
critical surveillance and mobility capabilities for national
security and criminal investigations. The Committee is
concerned that substantial gaps continue to exist within the
surveillance program that could undermine FBI's efforts to
protect our Nation from terrorists and criminals. Therefore,
the Committee provides the request of an additional $25,179,000
to hire additional personnel to help address these gaps. The
Committee directs that no less than 75 percent of these
additional funds shall be spent on Special Surveillance Groups.
Cyber Initiative.--The Committee is concerned that the
threat of cyber-related foreign intelligence operations to the
United States is rapidly expanding. These cyber intrusions
present a national security threat and have compromised
thousands of computers on U.S. Government and private sector
networks. The FBI is in a unique position to counter cyber
threats as the only agency with the statutory authority,
expertise, and ability to combine counterterrorism,
counterintelligence, and criminal resources to neutralize,
mitigate, and disrupt illegal computer-supported operations
domestically. The Committee recognizes the FBI's efforts and
recommends the full request of $181,754,000 for this effort,
which includes an additional 163 positions and $45,926,000
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level to further the FBI's
investigatory, intelligence gathering, and technological
capabilities.
Sentinel.--The Committee has followed closely the
development of Sentinel, the FBI's case management system. The
Committee understands that the development plan for Sentinel
uses a phased approach, in which each phase is independent of
the next and capabilities are delivered to FBI Agents and other
personnel throughout the development process. Delivery of the
final Phase 2 capabilities will be completed by fall 2010.
However, the Committee is extremely concerned about how the FBI
will now deliver phases 3 and 4 of Sentinel, and what the cost
implications will be. Therefore, the Committee directs that no
new development for these two phases may be undertaken until
the Committee is briefed on and approves the plan going
forward.
The Committee notes that the Bureau issued a stop-work
order for phases 3 and 4 to its contractor in March 2010. While
the Committee believes that the FBI took the necessary measures
to cease development and save taxpayer dollars, it regrets that
this action was necessary and that the monitoring systems in
place were not sufficient to identify issues and support mid-
stream corrective actions. The Department's Office of the
Inspector General [IG], whose staff has been embedded within
the Sentinel Program Office, is expected to coordinate with the
FBI to reinstate all necessary oversight reviews and provide a
detailed description on all monitoring efforts, and how they
can be improved in future development activities.
In addition, the Committee is disappointed that the IG's
office had personnel embedded within the program and yet failed
to identify the inherent weaknesses of the FBI's management
practices. The Committee expects the FBI and the IG to identify
clearly the failures in the monitoring systems for Sentinel and
how each office will correct its respective deficiencies.
Workforce Distribution.--The Committee notes that the FBI's
staffing levels have increased since 2001 and will increase
again in fiscal year 2011. While the FBI has undergone a major
reorganization of its mission priorities, the Committee remains
concerned that the Bureau has not adequately considered the
proper distribution of its staffing to field offices around the
country. As a result, staffing levels continue to vary
dramatically from State to State, both in terms of the
population of a State and the threats that exist within that
State. As the FBI considers the distribution of new agents
across the United States, the Committee encourages the FBI to
also consider the allocation of agents to field offices that
could alleviate disparities in the number of personnel between
field offices.
National Security Threats.--The Committee recommends the
full request to support the FBI's critical national security
efforts to conduct investigations to prevent, disrupt and deter
acts of terrorism, and continue to strengthen working
relationships with other Federal, State and local partners. The
Committee recommendation includes $455,100,000 in base funding
and $25,179,000 in enhancements for national security
initiatives to increase efforts within FBI field offices to
develop and strengthen surveillance resources, intelligence
analysis, Legal Attache resources, and working partnerships
with Federal, State and local agencies.
Criminal Justice Information Services Division.--The
Committee's recommendation provides $675,600,000 including fee
collections for the Criminal Justice Information Services
Division [CJIS], including $291,100,000 in appropriated funds
and $384,500,000 in user fees.
Human Rights Violations.--The Committee is concerned by the
large number of suspected human rights violators from foreign
countries who have found safe haven in the United States and
directs the FBI to increase efforts to investigate and support
the criminal prosecution by the Department of Justice of
serious human rights crimes committed by these foreign
nationals, including genocide, torture, use or recruitment of
child soldiers and war crimes. The Committee directs that, from
within available funds, $1,500,000 be allocated for agents and
associated support personnel at FBI headquarters.
Civil Rights Enforcement.--Civil rights investigations are
a top criminal investigative priority for the FBI. The
Committee recognizes the FBI as the lead agency responsible for
the investigation of violations of Federal civil rights laws,
and supports the request of $36,600,000 for the civil rights
program. The Committee expects these funds to be used for
investigation of human trafficking, hate crimes, and cases
pursued under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Right Act.
Critical Infrastructure.--The Committee supports the budget
request of an additional $25,121,000 to address shortfalls in
the FBI's information technology (IT) infrastructure, enhance
laboratory capabilities, and to bolster the FBI's intelligence
program. For several years, the Committee has been concerned
that insufficient operations, practices, and substandard
maintenance could result in systems failures and the
unavailability of time-sensitive data to agents in the field.
The Committee urges the Department of Justice to include in
future budget requests the appropriate resources to maintain
and operate its critical facilities and physical infrastructure
at the highest standard, consistent with industry best
practices, to ensure that these systems can perform critical
functions for the FBI.
Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement.--Within funds
provided, the Committee urges the FBI to continue to make the
detection, investigation, and prosecution of domestic and
international intellectual property crimes an investigative
priority. The Committee also urges the FBI to continue field
office collaboration with the U.S. Attorneys' Computer Hacking
and Intellectual Property Rights units and to continue to
support the FBI Headquarters Intellectual Property Rights
program coordination with the Department of Justice's Criminal
Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property section.
Innocent Images National Initiative [IINI].--The Committee
recommendation provides $52,971,000 for the Innocent Images
National Initiative. The Committee has provided this funding to
address the critical requirements for Federal law enforcement
in attacking the problem of child sexual exploitation and child
victimization.
Sexual predators use the Internet as their new weapon of
choice to target children because more children are online and
therefore at risk. The Innocent Images program allows the FBI
to target and investigate sexual predators on the Internet. The
Innocent Images workload has increased dramatically, from 113
cases opened in 1996 to over 2,500 cases currently open--a
2,000 percent increase. The FBI's fiscal year 2011 budget
request includes $52,971,000 for the Innocent Images program,
which is essentially funded at the enacted level. Last year,
Congress provided an increase of $14,000,000 for Innocent
Images. The Committee trusts that the budget request is
sufficient to cover the current Innocent Images caseload;
however, should the threat of child predators on the Internet
continue to grow, the Committee expects that future budget
requests for the FBI will include adequate resources dedicated
to investigate child predators who prey on children online.
Innocence Lost Initiative.--Every day children are being
recruited and forced into child prostitution. In the United
States alone, an estimated 300,000 children are forced into
prostitution, with the average age of a new child prostitute
being 13 years old. To address this horrific crime, in 2003 the
FBI in conjunction with the Department of Justice Child
Exploitation and Obscenity Section and the National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children launched the Innocence Lost
National Initiative. Their combined efforts are aimed at
addressing the growing problem of domestic sex trafficking of
children in the United States. These efforts have rescued over
900 children, and led to the conviction of more than 500 child
exploiters. The Committee applauds these efforts and fully
funds the request for $26,100,000, which includes an increase
of $6,946,000 to hire an additional 10 agents for the Innocence
Lost Initiative.
Mortgage Fraud.--The sub-prime mortgage crisis continues to
threaten the Nation's economic security. Suspicious Activity
Reports [SARS] filed by various financial institutions
increased 869 percent the last 7 years alone, and show no signs
of decreasing. This increase in mortgage fraud activity is
greatly straining the FBI's white-collar crime investigative
capabilities. The Committee fully supports the requested
$71,497,000 increase to hire 143 new agents and 21 intelligence
analysts to augment the current positions conducting mortgage
fraud investigations.
Investigations Into Severe Forms of Trafficking in
Persons.--Within the total amount provided, the Committee's
recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the FBI to investigate
severe forms of trafficking in persons as authorized by section
113(h) of Public Law 106-386, as amended. As the lead Federal
law enforcement agency, the FBI's ability to combat trafficking
and slavery would be significantly enhanced through additional
resources devoted specifically to the growing problem of
trafficking and slavery. The funding shall be used for
investigations into trafficking and slavery and providing
victim witness coordinators when needed on an emergency basis.
Gang Enforcement.--The Department of Justice estimates
there are roughly 1 million gang members in 30,000 gangs in all
50 States and the District of Columbia. With gang membership
rising and violent crime continuing to be a problem, local law
enforcement needs a strong partnership with Federal Government.
Currently, there are 160 Safe Streets Violent Gang Task Forces.
These partnerships allow FBI agents and State and local law
enforcement to work as teams to fight street crime. The
Committee directs the FBI to continue supporting its Safe
Streets Task Force program at no less than the current services
level.
Federal-State Anti-Terrorism Activities.--Joint Terrorism
Task Forces [JTTFs] are teams of Federal and State law
enforcement working together to identify and respond to
terrorist threats at the local level. There are now more than
100 JTTFs led by the FBI. The JTTFs focus on maximizing
interagency cooperation and coordination by employing cohesive
units of full- and part-time Federal, State and local officers
who are capable of addressing a wide range of terrorism
matters. Local and State police rely on FBI for information,
guidance, leadership, and training, as well as for critical
intelligence information about threats to our country. The
Committee urges the FBI to continue providing resources in its
budget request to expand the number of JTTFs in future years.
DNA Technical Review Standards.--The Committee is wary of
recent attempts by private, for-profit DNA laboratories to have
DOJ and the FBI change drastically their current DNA policy by
weakening DNA technical review standards and allowing private
DNA labs access to the Federal DNA database. Such a change may
place unfair and unnecessary pressure on State and local public
crime labs to outsource DNA evidence to for-profit labs, which
stand to gain large profits from such business.
Public laboratories throughout the United States have
focused their efforts on eliminating backlogs and ensuring they
have the capacity to minimize their recurrence. The Committee
understands the great demands made of them by lawmakers, law
enforcement, the criminal justice system and victims groups to
reduce DNA backlogs. Both the Committee and the forensic
community at large fear, however, that weakening current
Federal DNA technical review standards and outsourcing mass
quantities of sensitive DNA evidence to private labs without a
way to hold accountable the quality of work and integrity of
those labs does not address the best interests of this Nation's
victims of violent crime.
The Committee is disappointed in the Department's failure
to heed the concerns to follow the recommendations of the DOJ
Inspector General in Audit Report 09-38 September 2009 and
Audit Report GR-40-09-005 September 2009, particularly the
sole-sourcing of contracts from NIJ. The Committee directs the
Inspector General to review all communications, including but
not limited to, phone records, text messages, emails, letters,
solicitations and faxes for the past eight years and report
back to the Committee no less than 18 months after enactment of
this act.

Appropriations, 2010.................................... $239,915,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 181,202,000
Committee recommendation................................ 181,202,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $181,202,000 for
Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] construction. The
recommendation is $58,713,000 below the fiscal year 2010
funding level and equal to the budget request.
FBI Academy.--The Committee's recommendation provides
$73,892,000 for the renovations/construction necessary to
expand the training facilities at the FBI Academy in Quantico,
Virginia. The FBI Academy was built in 1972, and has not
undergone major renovation/upgrades since, aside from the
addition of a dorm in 1988. The Academy is home to new agents
for the first 21 weeks of their FBI career, is the setting for
new intelligence analyst training, houses the National Academy,
is the venue for the FBI's Leadership Development Institute,
and is the locale for various other FBI training opportunities.
The Academy is continuously operating at maximum capacity,
which leaves little opportunity for both scheduled and
unscheduled renovation--a necessity due to the age of the
Academy. In order to meet the FBI's specialized training
requirements it is imperative that the facilities are upgraded.
The resources provided in this bill will increase training
capacity at the Academy and bring several buildings at Quantico
up to current safety standards.
Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center [TEDAC].--The
Committee is dismayed that the administration proposes to
cancel $93,895,000 in funds previously appropriated by the
Congress for the construction of TEDAC. This action can only be
described as short-sighted and, would leave this Nation
vulnerable to the threat from terrorist use of explosives.
Homeland Security Presidential Directive-19 (HSPD-19),
Combating Terrorist Use of Explosives in the Homeland, states,
in part, about TEDAC the following: ``Terrorists have
repeatedly shown their willingness and ability to use
explosives as weapons, worldwide and there is ample
intelligence to support the conclusion that they will continue
to use such devices to inflict harm. The threat of explosive
attacks in the United States is of great concern considering
terrorists' ability to make, obtain, and use explosives, the
ready availability of components used in improvised explosive
device [IED] construction, the relative technological ease with
which an IED can be fashioned, and the nature of our free
society.'' The TEDAC and the specialized facilities to be built
there, such as the explosives synthesis laboratory, will enable
the FBI to fulfill its assigned responsibilities under the
HSPD-19 national strategy and implementation plan.
The Committee also understands that intelligence developed
from the forensic and technical exploitation of IEDs by TEDAC
is of value both tactically to the war fighter and
strategically to the intelligence and homeland security
communities. So, it seems that the United States would benefit
from the establishment of an enduring capacity to exploit IEDs
and related materials to support military, intelligence, law
enforcement and homeland security needs. Certainly, a unified
approach to leveraging and sharing intelligence and information
from IEDs seems to be a ``good government'' approach and
preferable to each agency doing its own thing and duplicating
each other's efforts. The Committee is aware that latent prints
developed by TEDAC personnel have been used to identify
previously unknown individuals who were involved in IED attacks
and who were residing in the United States. Presently TEDAC is
receiving approximately 700 boxes of IEDs and related materials
each month and that since 2004, when the FBI Laboratory began
accepting submissions from Iraq and Afghanistan, TEDAC has
received nearly 56,000 boxes of IEDs and related materials. The
influx of this workload has had a tremendous impact on the
capacity of the FBI Laboratory to perform its other national
security and law enforcement casework. In particular, the
Committee understands that turnaround times for completing
casework have increased threefold and that many FBI field
offices are submitting evidence to State and local forensic
laboratories due to the inability to obtain timely forensic
examinations--a situation that has contributed to the large
workloads and backlogs in State and local labs.
The Committee believes the decision by the Office of
Management and Budget [OMB] to cancel the TEDAC funding is an
unwise and ill-timed proposal that leaves the American public
unprepared and unprotected, an unacceptable outcome. The FBI
has lost a year in building an explosives intelligence
capability that our Nation needs--a capability that is
recognized in presidential decision directives and threat
assessments, and by the FBI Director, the military,
intelligence, and homeland security agencies working this
threat on a daily basis. Therefore, the Committee rejects this
proposed rescission and directs the FBI to obligate the funds
to complete this critical national security tool.
Drug Enforcement Administration
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $2,019,682,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 2,088,176,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,088,176,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $2,088,176,000 for
the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA]. The recommendation
is $68,494,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
equal to the budget request. The recommendation provides
$291,832,000 from Drug Enforcement Administration's Drug
Diversion Control Fee Account.
The DEA's mission is to enforce the controlled substances
laws and regulations of the United States and bring to the
criminal and civil justice system of the United States, or any
other competent jurisdiction, those organizations and principal
members of organizations involved in the growing,
manufacturing, or distribution of controlled substances
appearing in or destined for illicit traffic in the United
States; and to support non-enforcement programs aimed at
reducing the availability of illicit controlled substances on
the domestic and international markets.
Methamphetamine Cleanup.--The recommended level includes
$10,000,000 for the DEA to assist State, local and tribal law
enforcement agencies with the proper removal and disposal of
hazardous materials at clandestine methamphetamine labs,
including funds for training, technical assistance, a container
program, and purchase of equipment. These funds were previously
provided by transfer from the COPS program.
Diversion Control Program.--Full funding of $291,832,000 is
provided for the Diversion Control program, which is an
increase of $40,042,000 for expanded forensic support of
diversion cases and is fully offset with fee collections.
Southwest Border Enforcement.--The Committee's
recommendation includes $12,306,000 in enhancements for a total
of $67,847,000, for support of DEA's enforcement efforts along
the Southwest border including $10,806,000 to make permanent
the enhanced Mexican Sensitive Investigation Unit program.
These resources will help DEA to expand its presence along the
border, address increased workload related to narcotics
seizures by DHS, and respond to specific field intelligence
priorities.
Special Operations Division--Terrorism Investigations Unit
for Afghanistan.--From within funds provided, the Committee
appropriates $8,600,000 for the DEA's Special Operations
Division to create a third Terrorism Investigations Unit for
Afghanistan, which will be dedicated to investigating and
prosecuting narco-terrorists. Drug trafficking in Afghanistan
provides over 90 percent of the world's opium, fuels the
Taliban insurgency, corrupts public officials and undermines
political stability and the rule of law. The Taliban has
morphed into a hybrid--one part terrorist organization, one
part global drug trafficking cartel. To protect Coalition
Forces from an influx of weapons now and leave Afghanistan on a
firm footing in the future, this relationship between terrorism
and drugs must end.
CONSTRUCTION
Appropriations, 2010....................................................
Budget Request, 2011.................................... $41,941,000
Committee recommendation................................ 41,941,000
This appropriation provides funds for the construction of
DEA facilities and related activities. For fiscal year 2011,
the Committee recommends $41,941,000, which is equal to the
budget request.
El Paso Intelligence Center [EPIC].--EPIC is a national
tactical intelligence center that supports law enforcement
efforts throughout the United States, Mexico and the rest of
the Western Hemisphere, and is DEA's long-standing and most
important intelligence sharing organization focusing on the
Southwest border. Much of EPIC's success stems from its strong
partnerships forged among the more than 20 Federal, State and
local agencies represented at the Center, as well as
representatives from foreign police organizations in Mexico and
Colombia. Through its 24-hour Watch function, EPIC collects,
analyzes and disseminates tactical intelligence for over 19,000
Federal, State and local law enforcement agents, investigators
and analysts at all levels of government, which they can use in
investigations and operations to target Southwest border
smuggling, and other violent and criminal activities.
The high demand of the interagency community for space
within EPIC clearly demonstrates the value it provides to DEA
and its law enforcement and intelligence partners. EPIC is
literally bursting at the seams and has requests from
additional law enforcement and intelligence agencies for
additional space and capabilities to house more personnel
throughout fiscal years 2010 and 2011. In addition, the
numerous investments made in EPIC over the past several decades
and its strong reputation among Federal, State, local and
foreign partners make EPIC a natural choice for continued
expansion as law enforcement entities seek to further
consolidate and coordinate their interdiction, intelligence,
and investigative activities focused on the Southwest border
region. The Committee supports making the full upgrades to
EPIC's infrastructure to accommodate the expected and necessary
growth. Therefore, the recommended level provides the full
budget request of $41,941,000 for costs related to the
renovation of the existing EPIC facility and architectural/
engineering services for the planned expansion of the building.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $1,114,772,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 1,162,986,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,162,986,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $1,162,986,000 for
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [ATF].
The recommendation is $48,214,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and equal to the budget request.
The ATF's mission is to reduce violent crime, prevent
terrorism, and protect the public. ATF reduces the criminal use
of firearms and illegal firearms trafficking, and assists other
Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in reducing
crime and violence. ATF investigates bombing and arson
incidents and provides for public safety by reducing the
criminal misuse of explosives, trafficking in explosives,
combating acts of arson and arson-for-profit schemes, and
removing safety hazards caused by improper and unsafe storage
of explosive materials.
U.S.-Mexico Firearms Trafficking.--The Committee
recommendation provides for the full request of $11,815,000 for
ATF's efforts to combat weapon trafficking on the border. This
will annualize funding and positions for three Project
Gunrunner Teams established in the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act.
Violent Crime Impact Teams.--The Committee continues to
strongly support the ATF's Violent Crime Impact Team [VCIT]
initiative to pursue violent criminals and reduce the
occurrence of homicides and firearms-related violent crime
through the use of geographic targeting, proactive
investigation, and prosecution of those responsible. The VCIT
uses a multi-agency approach and works closely with State and
local law enforcement to identify, target, disrupt, arrest, and
prosecute violent criminals.
Conversion of Records.--The Committee recognizes the need
for ATF to complete the conversion of tens of thousands of
existing Federal firearms dealer out-of-business records from
film to digital images at the ATF National Tracing Center
[NTC]. Once the out-of-business records are fully converted,
search time for these records will be reduced significantly.
The Committee urges the ATF to continue the conversion and
integration of these records.
National Integrated Ballistic Information Network.--The
Committee continues to support the National Integrated
Ballistic Information Network [NIBIN], including significant
investment made by State and local law enforcement partners to
build the current NIBIN database. The Committee believes ATF
should move expeditiously to ensure that ballistic-imaging
technology is routinely refreshed, upgraded, and deployed to
State and local law enforcement. The Committee urges ATF to
prioritize the upgrading and replacement of aging ballistic
imaging equipment in its fiscal year 2011 operating budget and
in future budget requests. ATF should ensure upgrades and
replacements maximize and protect the resources invested by
State and local law enforcement.
Federal Prison System
The Committee recommendation provides a total of
$6,806,212,000 for the Federal Prison System, or Bureau of
Prisons [BOP]. The recommendation is $618,126,000 above the
fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget request.

The Committee's recommendation provides $6,533,779,000 for
BOP salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $447,548,000
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Correctional Officer Staffing--The Federal prison
population has grown explosively over the last 20 years. Rising
from roughly 25,000 prisoners in 1980, the population is
estimated to grow to more than 228,000 by the end of fiscal
year 2010. BOP estimates that its inmate population will
increase by at least 7,000 net new inmates per year for 2010
and 2011. Correspondingly, the overcrowding rate is projected
to rise to 43 percent in 2011, up from 40 percent in 2010. What
is more distressing is that the high-security inmate population
overcrowding rate is at 52 percent. Chronic underfunding based
on inadequate budget requests have forced BOP to rely
excessively on correctional officer overtime and the diversion
of program staff instead of hiring additional correctional
officers, leaving the workforce spread dangerously thin and
compromising BOP's ability to operate in a safe and efficient
manner.
To continue the steps Congress took in fiscal years 2009
and 2010 to address BOP's understaffing problem, the Committee
provides the full budget request of $3,859,100,000, an increase
of $59,100,000 over fiscal year 2010, to fill 1,200 vacant
correctional worker positions to safely manage the growing
inmate population at BOP institutions.
Sexual Misconduct.--The Committee commends the BOP on its
work to address and prevent staff sexual misconduct. With funds
provided in earlier appropriations acts, the National Institute
of Corrections has made useful progress in providing training
and technical support to correctional systems throughout the
country to eliminate staff sexual misconduct with inmates,
provide training in investigating cases, and training the
``trainers'' in order that employees at every level will be
more aware of, and better prepared to deal with, these cases.
Inmate Care and Programs.--This activity covers the costs
of all food, medical supplies, clothing, welfare services,
release clothing, transportation, gratuities, staff salaries
(including salaries of Health Resources and Services
Administration commissioned officers), and operational costs of
functions directly related to providing inmate care. This
decision unit also finances the costs of education and
vocational training, drug treatment, religious programs,
psychological services, and other inmate programs such as Life
Connections.
Institution Security and Administration.--This activity
covers costs associated with the maintenance of facilities and
institution security. This activity finances institution
maintenance, motor pool operations, powerhouse operations,
institution security and other administrative functions.
Finally, this activity covers costs associated with regional
and central office executive direction and management support
functions such as research and evaluation, systems support,
financial management, budget functions, safety, and legal
counsel.
Contract Confinement.--This activity provides for the
confinement of sentenced Federal offenders in Government-owned,
contractor-operated facilities, contracts with State and local
facilities, the care of Federal prisoners in contract community
residential centers, and assistance by the National Institute
of Corrections to State and local corrections. This activity
also covers costs associated with management and oversight of
contract confinement functions.
Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary.--The
Committee recognizes the importance of ensuring that the
Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary [ADX], also
known as the ``Supermax,'' has adequate funding to retain staff
levels necessary to provide strict oversight of prisoner
activities and communications; and to ensure the safety of
prison staff. Further, the facility has a pressing need to
upgrade its security infrastructure. The Committee urges the
Federal Bureau of Prisons to allocate funding necessary to
address these safety requirements.
National Institute of Corrections [NIC].--The NIC provides
valuable training and services, including research and
evaluation, technical assistance, information sharing and
planning to State and local adult corrections agencies, the BOP
and other Federal agencies. To address deficiencies identified
by the U.S. Census Bureau in the reporting of inmate address
information, the Committee rejects the budget request to
eliminate resources for NIC and expects NIC to work with State
corrections agencies to develop better procedures and systems
for collecting and maintaining corrections records.
Second Chance Act implementation.--The Second Chance Act
(Public Law 110-199) imposed new requirements on BOP to
facilitate the successful reentry of offenders back into their
communities and reduce the rate of recidivism. Among those
requirements are the establishment of recidivism reduction
goals and increased collaboration with State, tribal, local,
community, and faith-based organizations to improve the reentry
of prisoners. The Committee is aware that BOP is currently
developing and Inmate Skills Development [ISD] strategy, as
required by Second Chance Act, to assess prisoner's skills upon
incarceration and provide programming based on that assessment
to fill skill deficits and address other reentry needs. The
Committee recommendation includes $39,695,000, an increase of
$25,927,000 and 42 FTE above the fiscal year 2010 enacted
level, for ISD and other Second Chance Act activities as
proposed by the Department. The Committee notes, however, BOP
has indicated that approximately $75,000,000 is required to
fully implement its Second Chance Act responsibilities. The
Committee expects the Department to propose significant
additional funding for this purpose in the fiscal year 2012
budget request.
BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $99,155,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 269,733,000
Committee recommendation................................ 269,733,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $269,733,000 for
the construction, modernization, maintenance, and repair of
prison and detention facilities housing Federal prisoners. The
recommendation is $170,578,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and equal to the budget request.
The Committee recommendation provides for $74,253,000 for
modernization and repairs.
Facility Acquisition.--The exponential growth of the
Federal prison inmate population has far outpaced growth in
prison capacity and reached grave proportions, endangering the
safety of not only the inmates, but also correctional staff and
surrounding communities. Therefore, the Committee supports the
acquisition of appropriate prison facilities to help alleviate
the significant overcrowding of BOP institutions. Existing
facilities can be available for use much sooner than facilities
that BOP must construct, and at a reduced cost to the taxpayer.
Therefore, the bill includes funding to acquire and renovate an
existing prison facility to help alleviate the 52 percent
overcrowding rate in high security prisons. In addition to
expanding high security prison capacity, BOP plans to use a
portion of such facility to expand its administrative maximum
(i.e. ``Supermax'') and special management unit capacity. The
Committee notes that section 532 of this bill, which was
included in several appropriations bills for fiscal year 2010,
prohibits detainees from Guantanamo Bay to be detained in the
United States, except for the purposes of prosecution.
Construction.--Although BOP plans to activate three new
prisons in 2015 and four new prisons beginning in 2016, it will
be unable to maintain that schedule without significant new
construction appropriation requests for fiscal years 2012 and
2013. The Committee notes, however, that even if BOP stays on
track in constructing and activating planned new prisons, the
inmate population growth is expected to continue far exceeding
the planned growth in capacity in the foreseeable future. The
Committee directs BOP to provide to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations, within 30 days of enactment of
this act, the most recent monthly status of construction
report, and to notify the Committees of any deviations from the
construction and activation schedule identified in that report,
including detailed explanations of the causes of delays and
actions proposed to address them.
FEDERAL PRISON INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

Appropriations, 2010.................................... $2,700,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 2,700,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,700,000
The Committee recommendation provides a limitation on the
administrative expenses of $2,700,000 for the Federal Prison
Industries, Inc. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year
2010 enacted level and the budget request.

Office on Violence Against Women
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................................
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $20,000,000
\1\In fiscal year 2010 and the fiscal year 2011 request, funds for the
management and administration of programs at OVW, OJP, and COPS were
provided within a joint Salaries and Expenses appropriation. The OVW
portion of this joint appropriation was $15,708,000 in the fiscal year
enacted and $22,735,000 in the fiscal year 2011 request.
This appropriation supports all activities related to the
management and administration of Office on Violence Against
Women [OVW] grant programs, grants, and cooperative agreements,
including peer review. For fiscal year 2011, the Committee
recommends $20,000,000, which is $2,735,000 below the
equivalent amount requested under the joint salaries and
expenses appropriation.
The Committee expects all activities related to the
management and administration of grant programs, grants, and
cooperative agreements--including activities related to peer
review--to be supported with salaries and expenses funding. No
administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the
programs funded in the Violence Against Women Prevention and
Prosecution Programs account. Training and technical assistance
[T&TA], research and statistics activities performed by OVW, or
through interagency agreements or under contract for OVW, may
be supported with program funds, subject to the submission of
details related to these costs in the Department's fiscal year
2011 spending plan.
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PREVENTION AND PROSECUTION PROGRAMS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $419,500,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 438,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 468,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $468,000,000 for
Office on Violence Against Women [OVW] grants. The
recommendation is $48,500,000 above fiscal year 2010 enacted
level and $30,000,000 above the budget request. As in fiscal
year 2010, the Office on Violence Against Women is funded as
its own heading under this title.
Domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and
stalking are crimes of epidemic proportions that impact
millions of individuals and every community in the United
States. For 16 years, Violence Against Women Act [VAWA]
programs have supported community efforts around the Nation to
effectively respond to domestic violence, sexual assault,
stalking, and dating violence. In the 109th session, Congress
unanimously passed a VAWA reauthorization to continue
successful programs and create targeted new programs to address
gaps in prevention services, housing, healthcare, criminal
justice, and employment issues, and meet the needs of youth,
native women, communities of color, and victims of sexual
violence. These programs are designed to meet specific needs
and create collaborations between distinct groups that can
leverage their expertise and resources to address different
aspects of domestic and sexual violence.
Domestic violence impacts one in four American women over
their lifetimes and 15.5 million children are exposed to
domestic violence each year. Though the incidence of domestic
violence assaults and murders has steadily decreased, there is
an increase in demand for services due to improved criminal
justice response, heightened public awareness, and victims'
willingness to come forward.
Victims rely on services to escape violence and rebuild
their lives. When victims of domestic violence, sexual assault,
dating violence or stalking take the difficult step to reach
out for help, many are in life-threatening situations and must
be able to find immediate refuge. Given the dangerous and
potentially lethal nature of these crimes, the Committee's
funding recommendation reflects its belief that it is more
important than ever to increase investments in efficient, cost-
effective, proven programs that save lives and prevent future
violence.
The table below displays the Committee recommendations for
the programs under this office.

STOP Grants.--Within the funds appropriated, $207,000,000
is for formula grants to the States. The fiscal year 2011
recommendation will allow jurisdictions to implement mandatory
pro-arrest and prosecution policies to prevent, identify, and
respond to violent crimes against women, support coordination
of State victim services, assist Native victims in Indian
country, and provide secure settings and specialized procedures
for visitation and exchange of children in families
experiencing domestic violence. The recommendation supports
increasing access to comprehensive legal services for victims,
providing short term housing assistance and support services
for domestic violence victims and education and training to end
violence against and abuse of women with disabilities.
Sexual Assault Services Act [SASA].--The Committee's
recommendation provides $30,000,000, which is $15,000,000 above
the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal to the budget
request, to fund directly the needs of sexual assault victims.
One in 6 women and 1 in 33 men have experienced an
attempted or completed rape. More than one-half of all rapes of
women occur before they reach the age of 18. In 2007, an
estimated 250,000 people were raped or sexually assaulted;
however, only 42 percent of rape and sexual assault victims say
they reported the crime to the police.
As part of the Violence Against Women Act of 2005, Congress
created the Sexual Assault Services Program [SASP] to address
considerable gaps in services to sexual assault victims and
their families. While Congress has worked to ensure that crime
controls are in place to address sexual offenders, Congress
also wants to ensure that there is a dedicated stream of
funding to provide a broad range of services to male, female
and child sexual assault victims and their families through the
well-established and well-regarded system of community-based
rape crisis centers throughout the United States. Congress
maintains its strong commitment to ensuring that these rape
crisis centers have access to technical assistance, training
and support. SASP will provide such assistance through sexual
assault coalitions located in every State, territory and within
a number of tribes.
Transitional Housing Assistance Grants.--The Committee
approves the approach taken by the administration to make
Transitional Housing Assistance an independent program under
OVW, where it will no longer have to compete directly against
STOP grants for resources. In addition, due to the
unprecedented demand by victims of domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault and stalking for housing and support
services, the Committee provides $40,000,000 for this program,
an increase of $22,000,000 over the fiscal year 2010 enacted
level and $15,000,000 above the budget request.
Legal Assistance for Victims.--The Committee provides the
full budget request of $50,000,000 to support victims' access
to civil legal remedies, including civil protection orders,
child support and custody, and housing and public benefits
assistance. LAV is the only Federal program designed to meet
all of these needs; therefore, demand for these services is
high and LAV is one of OVW's most competitive programs, with
these trends showing only signs of increasing. Based on these
factors, the Committee's recommendation is $9,000,000 above the
fiscal year 2010 enacted level.
Supporting Teens Through Education and Protection [STEP].--
The budget request eliminated funds for the STEP program, but
provided no justification for this proposal. According to the
Department of Justice, roughly 1.5 million high school students
across the United States experience physical abuse from a
dating partner in a single year, with girls and young women
ages 16 to 24 experience the highest rates of intimate partner
violence. Sadly, as young people begin dating and enter into
their early relationships, many have little guidance on what to
expect, how to treat their partners respectfully or how to
leave an abusive relationship safely. Recognizing the need to
intervene early in cycles of abuse, put an end to current
dating and sexual violence, prevent future violence, the
Committee continues its support for STEP by providing
$3,000,000 to support services for teens who experience or may
be at-risk of experiencing violence in their relationships.
Office of Justice Programs
The Office of Justice Programs [OJP] is responsible for
providing leadership, coordination and assistance to its
Federal, State, local and tribal partners to enhance the
effectiveness and efficiency of the United States justice
system in preventing, controlling and responding to crime.
Because most of the responsibility for crime control and
prevention falls to law enforcement officers in States, cities
and neighborhoods, the Federal Government is effective in these
areas only to the extent that it can enter into partnerships
with these jurisdictions. Therefore, OJP is tasked with
administering grants; collecting statistical data and
conducting analyses; identifying emerging criminal justice
issues; developing and testing promising and innovative
approaches to address these issues; evaluating program results;
and disseminating these findings and other information to
State, local and tribal governments.
The Committee recommends a total of $2,623,330,000 for OJP,
which is $553,424,000 above the budget request and $339,867,000
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level. For fiscal year 2011,
the Committee has established a ``Research, Evaluation and
Statistics'' appropriation to replace the ``Justice
Assistance'' appropriation and created a separate Salaries and
Expenses appropriation for OJP. In addition, OJP appropriations
for fiscal year 2011 reflect an OJP-wide realignment of
programs to the account heading associated with the OJP office
that administers them.
Five years ago, DOJ was responsible for administering
approximately 72 grant accounts. Today, more than 122 grants
are administered by the Department. While the intent of these
grant programs are noble, the Committee is concerned that the
perpetual authorization and proposal for new grants, while not
de-authorizing or omitting redundant and archaic ones, has
become unmanageable. The Committee directs the Department to
work closely with Congress to consider seriously the
modification of existing programs and omission of outdated
programs before new proposals and initiatives are unveiled.
Continuing to create and authorize grant programs on a whim,
that cater to a certain crisis or cause, ultimately falls at
the feet of the Committee on Appropriations while the
Department and authorization committees proceed to the next
issue. The Committee urges the Department to devise a proposal
to consolidate and eliminate ineffective grant programs by
outreach to the authorizing committees and emphasis on what
works, costs and more effectiveness for the taxpayers' dollars.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................................
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $200,000,000
\1\In fiscal year 2010 and the fiscal year 2011 request, funds for the
management and administration of programs at OVW, OJP and COPS were
provided within a joint Salaries and Expenses appropriation. The OJP
portion of this join appropriation was $160,218,000 in the fiscal year
enacted, including $21,000,000 for the Office of Audit, Assessment and
Management [OAAM], and $216,396,000 in the fiscal year 2011 request,
including $32,500,000 for OAAM.
A total of $200,000,000 is recommended for salaries and
expenses for the Office of Justice Programs [OJP] in fiscal
year 2011. Within the total, $32,500,000 is for OJP's Office of
Audit, Assessment and Management [OAAM], which is responsible
for programmatic oversight, including grant compliance and
auditing of internal controls to prevent waste, fraud and
abuse.
The Committee expects all activities related to the
management and administration of grant programs, grants, and
cooperative agreements--including activities related to peer
review--to be supported with salaries and expenses funding. No
administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the
programs funded in the Research, Evaluation and Statistics;
State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance; Juvenile Justice
Programs; or Public Safety Officer Benefits accounts. Training
and technical assistance [T&TA], research and statistics
activities performed by OJP, or through interagency agreements
or under contract for OJP, may be supported with program funds,
subject to the submission of details related to these costs in
the Department's fiscal year 2011 spending plan.

The Committee's recommendation provides $346,000,000 for
the Research, Evaluation, and Statistics account, formerly
known as justice assistance account. The recommendation is
$7,500,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$2,300,000 below the budget request. This fiscal year
appropriation reflects an OJP-wide realignment of programs to
the account heading associated with the OJP component that
administers them. As a result, the programs identified in the
accompanying table are administered by the National Institute
of Justice or the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
These programs provide support to State and local law
enforcement. Funding in this account provides assistance in the
areas of research, evaluation, statistics, hate crimes, DNA and
forensics, criminal background checks, among others.

National Institute of Justice [NIJ].--The Committee's
recommendation provides $60,000,000 for the NIJ. NIJ's mission
is to advance scientific research, development, and evaluation
to advance the administration of justice and public safety. The
Committee expects NIJ to carry out the new initiatives proposed
in fiscal year 2011 to the extent possible with the funds
provided, which includes the Disproportionate Minority Contact
and Evaluation Program, Stopping Crime Block-by-Block Field
Experiments, the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring Program [ADAM],
Inmate Reentry Evaluation, and the Evaluation Capacity
Initiative, among others. The Committee directs that prior to
the obligation of any funds, NIJ submit a spend plan on how
resources will be allocated.
The Committee is concerned about the relationship between
the National Institute of Justice [NIJ], the National Forensic
Science Technology Center [NFSTC] and Forensic Quality Service
[FQS]. NFSTC is a nonprofit corporation funded primarily by
cooperative agreements with NIJ. Historically, NIJ has used
temporary assignments to hire key officials from NFSTC to
manage and oversee NIJ-administered grant programs. NIJ
provides funding to NFSTC to conduct external audits of public
DNA laboratories, as required by the FBI Standards. NIJ also
directs funding to NFSTC to conduct grant progress assessments
of NIJ grantees regarding public labs performance. NFSTC
utilizes independent consultants and contractors to perform the
aforementioned audits and assessments. FQS is a for-profit
entity previously co-located with NFSTC, and co-shared and
performed many of the same functions, staff, equipment, and
facilities.
The Committee is greatly concerned that the impact of
government dollars directed from NIJ to NFSTC could have been
used for FQS to profit. By sharing employees and support and
co-locating, FQS would have exclusive access to an array of
information that would give it an unfair competitive advantage.
The Committee directs the Inspector General to investigate the
former co-location and current relationship of the three
entities to assure the American people that no improprieties
have or are occurring; with sole-sourcing from NIJ to NFSTC,
NFSTC is not sharing inappropriate information or intelligence
with FQS; and that the taxpayers are assured that an ethical
Gold Standard of DOJ dollars is being maintained.
DNA and Forensics Research and Evaluation.--The fiscal year
2011 budget request eliminates resources to assist with
critical forensics and DNA research and evaluation. The
Committee continues to recognize those areas as vital
components to maintaining and advancing the quality and
proficiency within Federal, State, and local crime laboratory
facilities. Therefore, from within the amounts provided for
NIJ, OJP shall directly transfer $5,000,000 to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] Office of Law
Enforcement Standards [OLES] to support the continuation of the
development of standards and standard reference materials.
DNA Backlog/Crime Lab Improvements.--The Committee
continues its strong support for DNA backlog and crime lab
improvements by recommending $166,000,000 to strengthen and
improve Federal and State DNA collection and analysis systems
that can be used to accelerate the prosecution of the guilty
while simultaneously protecting the innocent from wrongful
prosecution. Within the funds provided, $151,000,000 is for
Debbie Smith DNA Backlog Reduction grants, $5,000,000 is for
Kirk Bloodsworth Post-Conviction DNA Testing grants, $5,000,000
is for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners [SANE] grants, and
$5,000,000 is to provide grants for training and education
relating to the identification, collection, preservation and
analysis of DNA evidence for law enforcement, correctional
personnel and court officers.
Paul Coverdell Forensic Science.--The Committee's
recommendation provides $30,000,000 for the Paul Coverdell
Forensic Sciences Improvement Grants. Coverdell grants are
intended to improve the quality and timeliness of forensic
science and medical examiner services, including services
provided by laboratories operated by states and those operated
by units of local government. Coverdell grants provide
flexibility to State and local crime labs by allowing them to
obtain funds to address their most critical needs.
Evaluation Clearinghouse.--The Committee recommendation
includes $1,000,000 for the proposed Evaluation Clearinghouse/
What Works Repository, an online source for evidence-based
information on what works and what is promising in criminal and
juvenile justice policy and practice, to be administered by the
Office of the Assistant Attorney General.
Hate Crimes.--The Committee provides $6,000,000 for the
Mathew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Program. In addition, the
Committee directs the Bureau of Justice Assistance [BJA] to
assess the feasibility and associated costs of establishing a
national helpline for victims of hate crimes and NIJ to
evaluate trends in hate crimes against new immigrants,
individuals who are perceived to be immigrants, and Hispanic-
Americans, and to assess the underlying causes behind any
increase in hate crimes against such groups.
Collaboration Among State Corrections, Alcohol and Drug
Abuse, and Mental Health Program Directors.--The conferees
encourage BJA to continue working with the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA] to foster
collaboration among the Association of State Corrections
Administrators [ASCA], the National Association of State
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors [NASADAD], and the National
Association of State Mental Health Program Directors [NASMHPD].

The Committee's recommendation provides $1,510,475,000 for
State and local law enforcement assistance. The recommendation
is $24,293,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level, and
$31,975,000 above the budget request. This fiscal year 2011
appropriation reflects and OJP-wide realignment of programs to
the account heading associated with the OJP office that
administers them. As a result, each of the programs identified
in the accompanying table is administered by the Bureau of
Justice Assistance, the Office of Victims of Crime, the
Community Capacity Development Office, or the Office of Sex
Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering and
Tracking [SMART].

State and Local Assistance Help Desk and Diagnostic
Center.--Within the funds provided for Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grants, the Committee provides $3,000,000 to
establish the State and Local Assistance Help Desk and
Diagnostic Center, which is one of the new initiatives proposed
by the administration. This Center will establish a resource
within OJP to provide the ``one-stop'' diagnostic, problem-
solving, and ``aftercare'' resources to help local communities
identify, respond to, and begin to solve persistent public
safety problems like gun violence, jail violence, gang
homicides, and truancy.
Regional Information Sharing Systems.--The Committee
recommends $40,000,000 to support activities that enable the
sharing of nationwide criminal intelligence and other resources
with State, local, and other law enforcement agencies and
organizations. Such activities should address critical and
chronic criminal threats, including gangs, terrorism,
narcotics, weapons and officer safety or ``event
deconfliction,'' and should reflect regional as well as
national threat priorities. In addition, funds shall be
available to support local-to-local law enforcement data and
information sharing efforts focused on solving routine crimes,
especially in rural areas, by sharing law enforcement
information not categorized as criminal intelligence. All
activities shall be consistent with national information-
sharing standards and requirements as determined by the Bureau
of Justice Assistance.
Capital Litigation.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $8,000,000 for Capital Litigation Improvement Grants,
as authorized in the Justice For All Act, Public Law 108-405.
The Committee directs that any grants provided for the Capital
Litigation Improvements, shall be provided pursuant to section
426 of the Justice For All Act.
National Technical Assistance and Training.--The Committee
encourages the Department to support efforts to assist States
in the development and use of criminal justice information
systems that accelerate the automation of identification
processes for fingerprints and other criminal justice data, and
which improve the compatibility of State and local law
enforcement systems with the FBI's Integrated Automated
Fingerprint Identification System.
John R. Justice Grants.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $10,000,000 pursuant to section 952 of Public Law 110-
315, which authorizes student loan repayment assistance for
State and local prosecutors and public defenders, as well as
Federal public defenders, to complement existing student loan
repayment options for Federal prosecutors. The John R. Justice
Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive address the serious
problems prosecutor and public defender offices across the
country face in recruiting and retaining qualified attorneys.
The Committee supports targeted student loan repayment
assistance to talented prosecutors and public defenders in
exchange for a commitment to continue their work in the
criminal justice system.
Human Trafficking.--The United States is a destination
country for thousands of men, women, and children trafficked
largely from Mexico and East Asia, as well as countries in
South Asia, Central America, Africa, and Europe, for the
purposes of sexual and labor exploitation. In the last year
there have been over 1,200 incidents of trafficking in the
United States. Trafficking victims are subjected to physical,
mental, and even sexual abuse. Victims need various types of
assistance to begin healing and recovery including counseling,
housing, medical care, support groups, and legal assistance.
Therefore, the Committee provides $15,000,000 for victim
services for U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and foreign
national victims of trafficking and the Committee directs that
these funds be used for victim services grants. No less than
$6,700,000 is for victim services grants for foreign national
victims of trafficking.
Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program.--The Committee
supports the administration's proposal to replace the Weed and
Seed Program with a new Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation
Program. Building on concepts employed in the Weed and Seed
Program, this new program will focus on place-based programs by
providing demonstration grants in communities to support
innovative, evidence-based approaches to fighting crime and
improving public safety, as well as addressing its underlying
problems. The program will be coordinated with the Department
of Housing and Urban Development [HUD] and other agencies,
supporting an interagency initiative on Neighborhood
Revitalization.
Persistent crime and public safety problems, particularly
gang activity, cannot be addressed solely by law enforcement.
These issues require a comprehensive interagency approach that
enables law enforcement, educators, social services agencies,
and community organizations to address both public safety
problems and their underlying causes. This new program will
build upon the current weed and seed approach of supporting
communities that combine law enforcement, community policing,
prevention, intervention, treatment, and neighborhood
restoration. The new initiative will focus on promoting
interagency collaboration and enable a wide range of new and
existing partners to further stabilize neighborhoods that face
the severest violence and crime.
However, the Committee is concerned that the changes to the
Weed and Seed Program will negatively impact grantees of the
program who have not reached the end of the 5-year grant
period, and encourages those grantees to come into compliance
with and to apply for funding under the new Byrne Criminal
Justice Innovation Program. The Office of Justice programs
should give these circumstances weight when considering grant
applications under the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation
Program, particularly for those grantees with the greatest
success in achieving the Weed and Seed Program's goals. During
the development of the solicitation for the Byrne Criminal
Justice Innovation Program, the Committee encourages the
Assistant Attorney General to consider interim funding within
the spend plan for activities comparable to weed and seed under
the Office of Justice programs.
Tribal Assistance.--The Committee does not recommend the
Department's proposal to fund a tribal grant program by carving
out 7 percent of the amounts provided to OJP for other
programs, but continues to support strongly efforts to help
tribes improve the capacity of their criminal justice systems.
The Committee provides a direct appropriation of $50,000,000
for tribal assistance, which is equal to the fiscal year 2010
level. Of the total, $3,000,000 is for Indian legal services
assistance, $10,000,000 is for tribal detention facilities,
$25,000,000 is for tribal courts, and $12,000,000 is for
alcohol and substance abuse grants. Combined with $25,000,000
provided for the Tribal Youth Program under the Juvenile
Justice appropriation, the Committee is recommending a total of
$75,000,000 in direct funding for tribal assistance through
OJP. Additional funding for tribes is provided through the
Office of Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] and the
Office on Violence Against Women [OVW].
Edward Byrne Discretionary Grants.--The Committee
recommendation provides $213,475,000 for discretionary grants
to help to improve the functioning of the criminal justice
system with an emphasis on drugs, violent crime, and serious
offenders. The Committee provides funding for the following
congressionally directed projects, and directs the Department
of Justice to refrain from charging administrative costs to
these grants. The Committee expects that the Department of
Justice will provide appropriate management and oversight of
each grant. Within the amounts appropriated for discretionary
grants OJP shall fund the following congressionally designated
projects:

Byrne Competitive Grants.--The Committee's recommendation
includes $40,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed grants to
programs of national significance to prevent crime, improve the
administration of justice or assist victims of crime. Within
120 days of enactment of this act, OJP is directed to provide a
report and spend plan to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations, which detail the criteria and methodology that
will be used to award these grants. The Committee expects that
OJP will take all steps necessary to ensure fairness and
objectivity in the award of these and future competitive
grants. It is expected that national programs that have
previously received funding under the Byrne discretionary
program will be eligible to compete for funding under this
competitive grant program, including programs for which
specific amounts are designated in this act.
Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act.--The Committee
fully supports the goals of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil
Rights Crime Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-344). Racially
motivated murders from the civil rights era constitute some of
the greatest scars upon U.S. history. The Committee recommends
that OJP provide up to $2,000,000 from within Byrne competitive
grants to help State and local law enforcement agencies
investigate and prosecute unsolved civil rights cold cases.
Border Prosecution Initiatives.--The Committee's
recommendation provides $25,000,000 for funding to assist State
and local law enforcement, including prosecutors, probation
officers, courts and detention facilities along both the
Southern and Northern borders related to the investigation and
prosecution of drug and immigration cases referred from Federal
arrests.
Drug Courts.--The Committee's recommendation provides
$45,000,000 for the Drug Court program. Drug courts greatly
improve substance abuse treatment outcomes, substantially
reduce crime, and produce significant societal benefits. The
Committee is concerned that while there are 1.47 million non-
violent drug addicted arrestees who are legally and clinically
eligible for Drug Court, only 55,000 are currently served by
the program. The Committee supports the expansion of drug
courts in order to bring the Drug Court Program to scale and
effectively address this population.
The Committee notes the distinct success of the Drug Courts
and Mentally Ill Offender grant programs. While the Committee
applauds the Department for attempting to consolidate grant
programs, the Committee rejects this proposal given that
professionals in the field have made a clear distinction
between the two programs. However, the Committee encourages the
Department to continue looking for ways and means to
consolidate other, more duplicative grant programs.
Second Chance Act.--The Second Chance Act (Public Law 110-
199) is a comprehensive response to improve outcomes for people
released from prisons and jails and returning to our
communities. Each year, nearly 670,000 people are released from
State prisons and approximately 9 million are released from
jails. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, an
estimated 95 percent of all State prisoners will be released--
with one-half of these individuals expected to return to prison
within 3 years for committing a new crime or violating their
conditions of release. This cycle of recidivism not only
compromises public safety, but also increases taxpayer
spending. A February 2007 report from The Pew Charitable Trusts
stated that if Federal, State, and local policies and practices
do not change, taxpayers are expected to pay as much as
$27,500,000 on prisons alone from 2007 to 2011 on top of
current corrections spending.
Smart Probation.--Within the $50,000,000 provided for
activities authorized under the Second Chance Act of 2007,
which facilitates the successful reentry of prisoners into
communities following their incarceration, the Committee
recommends that up to $5,000,000 be used to promote the
administration's new Smart Probation initiative. This program
will provide grants to help States, communities and tribes
improve probation supervision strategies and services, and
reduce recidivism.
Bulletproof Vests.--Within the $30,000,000 provided for
bulletproof vests, $1,500,000 is for the National Institute of
Standards and Technology's [NIST] Office of Law Enforcement
Standards [OLES] to continue supporting ballistic- and stab-
resistant material compliance testing programs.
The Committee is disappointed that the National Institute
of Justice [NIJ] has purposely and willfully disregarded the
will of the Congress in fiscal year 2010 by not providing the
scientific experts at NIST/OLES with resources they need to
fulfill their role in the Body Armor Safety Initiative in a
timely manner. This research is vital to ensuring the
reliability of body armor used by law enforcement personnel.
The Congress intended for NIJ to transfer funds directly and
promptly to NIST/OLES to support research, testing and
evaluation of body armor safety as prioritized by NIST/OLES,
not by NIJ. However, NIJ has disregarded this directive and
instead has treated NIST not as an equal partner in the Body
Armor Safety Initiative but rather as a contractor. The
Committee is frustrated with NIJ's insistence that NIST agree
to conduct an unrealistic panoply of projects outside the scope
of NIST's internal research and priorities once the funds are
transferred. The delays caused by NIJ's shenanigans put law
enforcement personnel at risk and will not be tolerated by this
Committee. The Committee has included bill language which
transfers funding directly to NIST from the COPS program,
eliminating unnecessary meddling by NIJ program managers.

Budget estimate, 2011................................... 289,806,000
Committee recommendation................................ 489,555,000
The mission of the Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention [OJJDP] is to provide national
leadership, coordination and resources to prevent and respond
to juvenile delinquency and victimization. OJJDP supports
States, tribes and local communities in efforts to develop,
implement and improve the juvenile justice system in order to
protect the public safety, hold offenders accountable, and
provide treatment and rehabilitative services tailored to the
needs of juveniles and their families.
The Committee's recommendation provides $489,555,000 for
juvenile justice programs. The recommendation is $65,960,000
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $199,749,000 above
the budget request.

deviation from the above plan.
Part B--State Formula Grants.--The Committee provides
$70,000,000 for grants to implement comprehensive State
juvenile justice plans, including community-based prevention
and intervention programs and activities for juvenile
offenders. This amount is $5,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010
level and $2,000,000 below the budget request.
Missing and Exploited Children Program.--The issue of child
abduction and exploitation is a constant part of the national
conscience due to the numerous child pornography and missing
children cases. The Office of Justice Programs [OJP] works with
law enforcement agencies to target, dismantle and prosecute
predatory child molesters and those who traffic in child
pornography. The Committee continues to strongly support the
Missing and Exploited Children Program and recommends
$70,000,000, including $30,000,000 for the Internet Crimes
Against Children [ICAC] task force program, to continue to
expand efforts to protect the Nation's children, focusing on
the areas of locating missing children, and addressing the
growing wave of child sexual exploitation facilitated by the
Internet. The Committee directs OJP to provide a spending plan
for the use of these funds as part of the Department's spending
plan for fiscal year 2011.
Discretionary Grants.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $75,355,000 for part E programs. The Committee
provides funding for the following congressionally designated
projects, and directs the Department of Justice to refrain from
charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee
expects that the Department of Justice will provide appropriate
management and oversight of each grant. Within the amounts
provided, OJP shall fund the following congressionally
designated projects:

Youth Mentoring Grants.--To support the critical work of
national, regional and local organizations in nurturing and
mentoring at-risk children and youths, the Committee recommends
$100,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed youth mentoring
grants. Within 120 days of enactment of this act, OJP is
directed to provide a report and spend plan to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations, which detail the criteria
and methodology that will be used to award these grants. The
Committee expects that OJJDP will take all steps necessary to
ensure fairness and objectivity in the award of these and
future competitive grants. It is expected that national
programs that have received funding under the Byrne
discretionary grants program or the Juvenile Justice Part E
program will be eligible for funding under this competitive
grant program, including programs for which specific amounts
are designated in this act. Further, the Committee recognizes
the alarming high school dropout, arrest, and unemployment
rates among youth with disabilities. Within available funds,
the Committee encourages OJJDP to fund expansions of mentoring
services for youth with disabilities.
Gang and Youth Violence Education and Prevention
Initiative.--The Committee's recommendation provides
$20,000,000 for an anti-gang and youth violence education and
prevention initiative.
Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws Program.--Within the
funds provided in the At-Risk Children Program (title V), the
Committee provides $25,000,000 for grants to assist States in
enforcing underage drinking laws.
Victims of Child Abuse Act.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $22,500,000 for the various programs authorized under
the Victims of Child Abuse Act [VOCA] (Public Law 101-647).
Within the funds provided, $5,000,000 shall be for Regional
Children's Advocacy Centers [RCACs] Programs. The RCACs were
established through the Victims of Child Abuse Act to provide
information, consultation, training, and technical assistance
to communities, and to help establish child-focused programs
that facilitate and support coordination among agencies
responding to child abuse. The RCACs and the National
Children's Alliance have identified several joint initiatives
which include: developing centers in underserved areas; support
and development of Tribal CACs; constituent involvement;
marketing; and public awareness. In working on these
initiatives, the RCACs have created programs such as the
National Training Academy, which trains professionals and
multi-disciplinary teams investigating child abuse, and the
telemedicine pilot project, which assists remote areas in
investigating child abuse.
PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS BENEFITS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $70,100,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 77,300,000
Committee recommendation................................ 77,300,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $77,300,000 for
public safety officers benefits. The recommendation is
$7,200,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal
to the budget request. Within funds provided, $61,000,000 is
for death benefits for survivors, an amount estimated by the
Congressional Budget Office and considered mandatory for
scorekeeping purposes. The Committee also recommends
$16,300,000, as requested, for disability benefits for injured
officers and education benefits for the families of officers
who have been permanently disabled or killed in the line of
duty.
This mandatory program provides a one-time death benefit
payment to eligible survivors of Federal, State, and local
public safety officers whose death was the direct and proximate
result of a traumatic injury sustained in the line of duty or
certain eligible heart attacks or strokes.
Community Oriented Policing Services
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2010\1\.................................................
Budget estimate, 2011\1\................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $40,000,000
\1\In fiscal year 2010 and the fiscal year 2011 request, funds for the
management and administration of programs at OVW, OJP, and COPS were
provided within a joint Salaries and Expenses appropriation. The COPS
portion of this joint appropriation was $37,462,000 in the fiscal year
2010 enacted and $40,312,000 in the fiscal year 2011 request.
This appropriation supports all activities related to the
management and administration of Community Oriented Policing
Services [COPS] grant programs, grants and cooperative
agreements, including peer review. For fiscal year 2011, the
Committee recommends $40,000,000, which is $312,000 below the
equivalent amount requested under the joint salaries and
expenses appropriation.
The Committee expects all activities related to the
management and administration of grant programs, grants, and
cooperative agreements--including activities related to peer
review--to be supported with salaries and expenses funding. No
administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the
programs funded in the COPS Programs account. Training and
technical assistance [T&TA], research and statistics activities
performed by the COPS office, or through interagency agreements
or under contract for COPS, may be supported with program
funds, subject to the submission of details related to these
costs in the Department's fiscal year 2011 spending plan.
COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES PROGRAMS
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $791,608,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 690,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 585,955,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $585,955,000 for
community oriented policing services. The recommendation is
$205,653,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$104,045,000 the budget request.
Local law enforcement is not only essential to ensure the
safety of the public, but also plays a critical role in
preventing and responding to terrorist threats. Since its
creation, the Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS]
office has assisted State and local law enforcement agencies by
providing grants, training, and technical assistance that not
only ensure public safety from traditional crime, but also
better enables law enforcement officers to address the growing
threat from terrorist organizations.

Training and Technical Assistance to assist agencies with
developing innovative community policing strategies through
applied research and evaluation initiatives.
COPS Technology.--The Committee's recommendation provides
$103,820,000 for the COPS Law Enforcement Technology Program.
Within the funds provided, $1,500,000 shall be transferred to
NIST to continue the efforts of the Office of Law Enforcement
Standards [OLES] in developing a comprehensive suite of minimum
standards for law enforcement communications. In addition,

Interoperable Standards.--The Committee is pleased that
significant progress has been made in the issuance of standards
to specify the required functionality for the Project 25 Inter-
RF-Subsystem Interface [ISSI], Console Interface, and Fixed
Station Interface for land mobile radio systems. The Committee
directs that funds provided to OLES for standards development
under this section should be used to complete the remaining
aspects of these interfaces, including conformance and
interoperability test standards for each of the interfaces. In
addition, funds should be used to begin the development of
standards for emerging technologies such as VoIP applications
for public safety operations.
Methamphetamine Hot Spots.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $13,135,000 to State and local law enforcement
programs to combat methamphetamine production and distribution,
to target drug ``hot spots,'' and to remove and dispose of
hazardous materials at clandestine methamphetamine labs. The
Committee's recommendation does not include the traditional
transfer to reimburse the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA]
for assistance to State and local law enforcement for proper
removal and disposal of hazardous materials at clandestine
methamphetamine labs and to initiate container programs. Those
funds may be found within the direct appropriation for the DEA.
COPS Hiring Program.--The Committee recommends $400,000,000
for COPS Hiring grants to help State, local or tribal law
enforcement agencies to create and preserve police officers and
to increase their community policing capacity and crime
prevention efforts. Within the funds provided, $30,000,000 is
for the hiring or rehiring of officers who will be assigned to
Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces [ICACs]. These
funds, combined with those provided under the Office of Justice
Programs heading, will fully meet the level authorized for
ICACs under the PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008.
Child Sexual Predator Prosecution Program.--The National
Sex Offender Public Registry and the sex offender management
assistance program, both previously funded from this line, have
been moved to the Office of Justice Programs, where they have
traditionally been administered. After accounting for these
movements, the recommended level of $18,000,000 is an increase
of $6,000,000 over both the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
the budget request for this program. These additional funds
should be used to assist State, tribal and local law
enforcement in locating, arresting and prosecuting child sexual
predators and exploiters.
Tribal Resources.--The Committee has provided a total
$72,000,000 in programs targeted entirely to tribal communities
through the Tribal Resources Grant Program [TRGP]. Within the
TRGP, $25,000,000 is provided through direct appropriations and
$47,000,000 is provided by transfers from the COPS Hiring and
Meth Hot Spots programs. All funds available to the TRGP can be
used for equipment and hiring or training of tribal law
enforcement. This will allow tribes maximum flexibility to
respond the priorities they deem most urgent.
The Committee provides funding for the following
congressionally designated projects. Within the amounts
provided for methamphetamine hot spots, the COPS program office
shall fund the following congressionally designated projects:

TITLE III
SCIENCE
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
Office of Science and Technology Policy
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $7,000,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 6,990,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,990,000
The Committee recommendation provides $6,990,000. The
recommendation is $10,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted
level and equal to the budget request.
The Office of Science and Technology Policy [OSTP] was
created by the National Science and Technology Policy,
Organization, and Priorities Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-282)
and coordinates science and technology policy for the White
House. OSTP provides scientific and technological information,
analysis, and advice for the President and for the executive
branch; participates in formulation, coordination, and
implementation of national and international policies and
programs that involve science and technology; maintains and
promotes the health and vitality of the U.S. science and
technology infrastructure; reviews and analyzes, with the
Office of Management and Budget, the research and development
budgets for all Federal agencies; and coordinates research and
development efforts of the Federal Government to maximize the
return on the public's investment in science and technology and
to ensure Federal resources are used efficiently and
appropriately.
Scientific Integrity.--On March 9, 2009, the President
issued a memorandum that articulated the administration's
commitment to scientific integrity. The document called upon
the OSTP Director to ``develop recommendations for Presidential
action designed to guarantee scientific integrity throughout
the executive branch'' within 120 days. More than 1 year after
that deadline, those recommendations have not been issued. As a
result, some departments and agencies have held off issuing new
scientific communication guidelines while awaiting guidance
from OSTP. Within 60 days of the enactment of this act, the
Director shall issue the recommendations called for in the
March 9, 2009, memorandum. If the Director cannot issue the
recommendations by that date, OSTP shall report to the
Committee articulating the reasons for not issuing the
recommendations, along with the estimated date of completion.
Dispersants.--While chemical dispersants are a standard
tool for cleaning up oil spills and protecting coastlines and
estuaries from the impacts of thick crude oil, too little
scientific research has been done to understand these
chemicals. In the Deepwater Horizon incident, dispersants have
been used in unprecedented quantities and in novel ways.
Scientists, and the American public, do not know what the
impact will be on fish, turtles, and mammals that live in the
ocean; ocean, coastal and estuarine habitats; or human health.
The OSTP Director shall within 30 days of enactment of this act
to submit to the Committee a research plan for the most urgent
research questions regarding dispersants, along with a near-
term plan for funding that research. Within 180 days of
enactment, the Director shall outline a comprehensive research
plan, building on the National Academies' report ``Oil Spill
Dispersants, Efficacy and Effects,'' to better understand
dispersants and their impact, along with an appropriate funding
strategy.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $18,724,300,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 19,000,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 19,000,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $19,000,000,000 for
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA]. The
recommendation is $275,700,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and equal to the budget request.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was
established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958
(Public Law 85-568) to conduct space and aeronautical research
and development and to conduct flight activities for peaceful
purposes. NASA's unique mission of exploration, discovery, and
innovation is intended to preserve the United States' role as
both a leader in world aviation and as the pre-eminent space-
faring nation. It is NASA's mission to: advance human
exploration, use, and development of space; advance and
communicate scientific knowledge and understanding of the
Earth, the solar system and the universe; and research,
develop, verify, and transfer advanced aeronautics and space
technologies.
During July 2009, the Nation marked the 40th anniversary of
the Apollo Moon landing. Since that time, many have debated the
future of NASA's human spaceflight program. The Review of U.S.
Human Spaceflight Plans Committee, better known as the
Augustine Committee, reported that the plans for future human
spaceflight were untenable. The administration's budget request
offered a vision for human spaceflight that relied on
commercial providers in the near term and invested now in
technology development before making major investments in
building the next generation of human spaceflight vehicles.
The Committee's recommendations focus on investments that
rebalance the space program. The Committee supports major
investments in science that help us understand and save our
planet and explore our universe, in aeronautics research that
makes air travel here on Earth safer and keeps America
competitive, and in extending the International Space Station
[ISS] so we can utilize the lab we built.
From the outset, this Committee has sought a human
spaceflight program that the President, the Congress, and the
American people can support. The Committee believes that the
restructured program called for in this act should be
sustainable from one administration to the next. The United
States cannot reinvent its space program every 4 years.
The Committee believes this bill represents a solid
compromise for human spaceflight that reaches beyond low Earth
orbit with affordable vehicles; makes key investments in the
burgeoning commercial launch industry that is already poised to
bring cargo to the ISS; before the Shuttle is retired in 2011,
authorizes one additional Shuttle flight, if determined to be
safe, to preposition supplies at the ISS; and revitalizes NASA
technology programs. The Committee invests in a new heavy lift
rocket to be built by 2017, along with the Orion capsule to
carry astronauts, so NASA can again send humans on new journeys
of discovery.
The bill conforms to the Committee's guiding principles for
NASA, placing the highest priority on astronaut safety, keeping
mission destination in focus, balancing the space program,
using human space flight for scientific discovery, easing
workforce transition, and protecting taxpayers by serving as
good stewards of public resources.
NASA's acquisition management remains on the Government
Accountability Office's [GAO] ``high risk'' list. The Agency is
celebrating its 20th year on that list, in such company as
Medicare, Department of Defense Weapons Systems acquisition,
and enforcement of tax laws. In its most recent assessment of
major NASA projects GAO found 9 of 10 projects in the
implementation phase had both exceeded their planned budgets by
more than 8 percent and delayed their launch date by more than
8 months. The largest budget increase was a 68 percent cost
increase with a corresponding schedule slip of 25 months over a
baseline established in fiscal year 2008.
While GAO reports that NASA is making progress in
strengthening financial management, including better cost
estimates and higher standards of accountability for
contractors, it is imperative that NASA do a better job of
managing these large projects. More than 80 percent of NASA's
funding--a staggering $16,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2011--is
awarded by contract.
On July 13, 2010, the National Research Council released a
report ``Controlling Cost Growth of NASA Earth and Space
Science Missions.'' The recommendations of that report could be
applied throughout NASA, particularly the need for cost realism
through independent cost assessment and incentivizing not only
technical but also cost and schedule performance.
The Committee directs NASA to report, within 60 days of
enactment of this act, on any outstanding GAO or Inspector
General recommendations to improve NASA's financial management,
the date those recommendations were issued, an expected date
for implementing those recommendations, and a thorough
explanation of the reasons those recommendations have not been
implemented. Special attention should be paid to any
recommendations that have the potential to get NASA's
acquisition management off of the GAO high risk list or to make
NASA's financial statements able to be qualified by independent
accountants. Within 180 days of enactment, NASA shall report to
the Committee on any efforts taken to reform its acquisition
practices to improve cost estimating, improve technical
readiness before preliminary design review, better evaluate and
reward contractor cost and schedule performance, and ensure
sound business practices govern contracting, particularly for
large contracts.
The Committee has chosen to articulate the funding levels
of programs within the account structure for NASA in the form
of tables. Major mission and program funding is listed within
the tables and, if necessary, supplemented with explanatory
report language.

Earth Science Decadal Survey Missions.--The Committee
supports the ongoing development of the Tier I Earth Science
missions, and provides the full budget requests for the Soil
Moisture Active and Passive [SMAP], the Ice, Cloud, and Land
Elevation Satellite (IceSat-2), the Climate Absolute Radiance
and Refractivity Observatory [CLARREO], and the Deformation,
Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of the Ice [DESDnyl]
missions. The National Academies recommended flying a suite of
these four missions concurrently to gather critical information
about the Earth and its climate.
IceBridge.--The Committee provides $5,000,000 within funds
provided to the Earth Science Program Office to enable
instrument development work to continue making high resolution
measurements of polar sea ice and glaciers during the gap
between IceSat-1 and IceSat-2. The Committee encourages NASA to
use unmanned aerial vehicles for this mission and to use this
funding to seek competitive proposals to improve IceBridge
instruments for use on UAVs.
Carbon Monitoring.--The Committee recommends $10,000,000
from within available funds to continue the development of a
carbon monitoring system initially funded in fiscal year 2010.
SERVIR.--The Committee directs NASA to move forward, as
requested in the fiscal year 2011 budget request, to expand the
SERVIR network within the Applied Sciences Program and to
enhance its scientific capabilities across a broader set of
NASA Earth science products and its service as a testbed for
innovative applications.
Explorer Program.--The Committee provides an additional
$5,000,000 for the Explorer Program to ensure that current and
future announcements of opportunity can support two stand alone
missions, one in astrophysics and one in heliophysics.
Solar Sentinels.--Within available funds, the Committee
provides an additional $500,000 to fund a pre-phase A cost and
feasibility study for the Solar Sentinels program.
Heliophysics.--Within funds provided to advance scientific
knowledge of the Sun's impact on the Earth, the Committee
provides the full budget requirement of $143,800,000 for the
Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. The Committee encourages
NASA to provide necessary budget resources in fiscal year 2012
for MMS to achieve a launch in 2014 with the full complement of
instruments and both orbit phases.
The funds provided also include $14,100,000 for the Solar
Probe Plus mission. The Committee notes that the Solar Probe
Plus mission is the highest priority recommendation of the
National Academies' heliophysics decadal report, and therefore
directs the Agency to work to achieve a launch no later than
2015.
Within funds provided for sounding rockets operations,
$5,000,000 is provided to continue advanced technology
development of small satellites and unmanned aerial systems
[UAS] that have the potential of lowering the costs of space
and Earth science missions.
The Committee notes that suborbital science missions
provide important hands-on experience for science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics [STEM] undergraduate and graduate
students, and directs NASA to increase their participation in
these missions.
Planetary Science.--Within funds provided to advance
scientific knowledge of our solar system, the Committee
provides the full budget requirement of $532,800,000 for the
Mars rovers and related science.
International Lunar Network.--The Committee is concerned
that NASA continues to delay work on the International Lunar
Network [ILN]. In previous years, attempts have been made to
make funding contingent on a report that is focused on human
space flight, and now NASA is tying an already approved and
funded mission's future to an upcoming decadal survey. The
scientific merits of a mission using a lander rather than an
orbiting vehicle were highlighted by the National Research
Council in its report, ``The Scientific Context for Exploration
of the Moon.'' Since the mission selection by NASA in 2005,
there has been inconsistent support, without legitimate
justification, for such treatment for this mission. Given the
growing amount of discoveries on the Moon that justify a lander
mission, the Committee directs NASA to immediately move forward
with this mission to take advantage of the availability of ILN.
Astrophysics.--Within funds provided to advance scientific
knowledge of the origins of the universe, the Committee
provides the full budget requirements of $102,700,000 for the
Hubble Space Telescope and $444,800,000 for the James Webb
Space Telescope [JWST].
The Committee is disturbed by ongoing cost overruns in JWST
and eagerly awaits the results of the Administrator's
independent evaluation to get this important project back on
track.
The Committee notes that the budget request did not include
funding for the Joint Dark Energy Mission [JDEM], pending the
results of the National Research Council's pending decadal
survey on astrophysics. If JDEM emerges as a high priority, the
Committee expects to see a robust request in fiscal year 2012
to support this mission to understand the nature and behavior
of dark energy.

The Committee is committed to the research NASA conducts in
aeronautics, and to the benefits, both in terms of safety and
economics, that will be made available to the public through
NASA-led research.
Green Aviation Project.--The Committee provides the full
request of $83,100,000 for this activity for research to reduce
fuel use, noise, and emissions from aircraft, including
partnerships modeled on other successful aeronautics
partnerships and testing of technologies through technology
readiness level 6.
Aviation Safety.--The Committee includes the request of
$79,300,000 for aviation safety. NASA should examine expediting
standards for technologies such as positive link control and
other systems to allow uninterrupted connectivity to unmanned
aircraft systems [UAS] that could enable safe integration of
UAS into the National Airspace System.
NASA Unmanned Aircraft Systems University Affiliated
Research Center.--The Committee is alarmed at the total
disregard of the Agency to follow congressional intent. The
fiscal year 2010 appropriations bill provided funds and clearly
directed NASA to establish a University Affiliated Research
Center [UARC] in collaboration with the Dryden National Flight
Center to focus on unmanned aircraft systems remote sensing
research applications and educational programs. The NASA spend
plan for this funding in no way reflects the mandate of
Congress. The Committee directs NASA to suspend all plans for
this funding until a full and complete explanation is provided
and approved by the Committee.
EXPLORATION
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $3,746,300,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 4,263,400,000
Committee recommendation................................ 3,912,000,000
The Exploration account funds the capabilities required to
develop, demonstrate, and deploy the transportation, life
support, and surface systems that will enable sustained human
presence throughout the solar system, including at the Space
Station, in low Earth orbit and beyond low Earth orbit.
The request proposed a restructuring of this account to
emphasize technology development and commercial space
transportation. The Committee shares the administration's
enthusiasm for new acquisition models intended to keep the cost
of space access low and for investments in new technologies
that can radically reduce the cost of human transportation to
and in space.
The Committee also believes that the Nation deserves a
robust human space flight program. The Space Shuttle will
retire in fiscal year 2011. The United States needs to start
now building a lower cost, more sustainable space
transportation system that can take humans beyond low Earth
orbit.
One of the greatest successes of the International Space
Station has been a true partnership between the United States
and other space faring nations to live and work in space. For
our next stage of space exploration, the United States will
need to engage its partners to have a truly robust and
successful program. With the funds provided here, the United
States will be able to contribute heavy lift launch technology,
including the capability to launch humans beyond low Earth
orbit, to that effort. Within 180 days of the enactment of this
act NASA shall report to the Committee a set of scientific and
exploration goals, including mission destinations, for
utilizing the new space transportation system funded within
this account, including any plans for collaboration with
international partners.
The Committee recognizes that anticipated research, design,
and construction, within all elements of the Exploration
account, will continue to be needed for a successful
exploration program. Therefore the Committee supports the
following at the requested levels, $30,000,000 for the B-2 test
facility, $12,000,000 for design and long lead items for the E-
Complex at Stennis Space Center, and $64,400,000 for research,
development, and continued construction of the A-3 Rocket
Propulsion Test Facility of which $25,000,000 shall be for
research and development.

Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle.--The Committee provides
$1,900,000,000 to begin building an integrated heavy lift
launch vehicle system. The system shall enable human
transportation at the highest possible safety standards and
lowest life cycle costs for beyond low Earth orbit and shall be
designed, managed, and integrated by the Marshall Space Flight
Center. This funding shall be part of a sustained, evolvable
effort around a common core to culminate in an initial human
capability by 2016. The system shall be evolvable to lift the
necessary elements for missions beyond low Earth orbit in order
to extend human exploration capabilities. The program shall be
managed under a strict cost cap of $11,500,000,000 through
fiscal year 2017. Within 60 days of enactment, NASA shall
report to the committee on planned milestones, expected
performance of the low Earth orbit and beyond low Earth orbit
configurations, planned ground and early flight testing
programs and deliverables for the heavy lift launch vehicle
program, along with any existing contract vehicles the Agency
intends to use for this purpose. As part of this report, NASA
shall evaluate the preceding cost cap and validate the cap or
provide a viable and validated alternative.
Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle.--The Committee provides
$1,100,000,000 for an Orion crew exploration vehicle that will
enable human transportation beyond low Earth orbit. The vehicle
shall be capable of being launched on the heavy lift launch
vehicle and may also provide alternative access to low Earth
orbit, including the International Space Station by fiscal year
2014. The program shall be managed under a strict cost cap of
$5,500,000,000 through fiscal year 2017. Within 60 days of
enactment, NASA shall report to the Committee on planned
milestones, expected performance and configurations, planned
testing program, and deliverables for the crew exploration
vehicle program, along with any suggestions for streamlining
oversight. As part of this report, NASA shall evaluate the
preceeding cost cap and validate the cap or provide a viable
and validated alternative.
Commercial Crew.--The Committee has provided $250,000,000
for commercial crew activities. This funding shall be available
to continue and competitively expand the number of participants
and the activities of the Commercial Crew Development [CCDEV]
program in order to reduce risk, develop technologies, and lead
to other advancements that will help determine most effective
and efficient means of advancing the development of commercial
crew services.
Currently, NASA lacks one consolidated set of requirements
for crew safety. Within this funding, NASA shall develop and
make available to the public detailed human rating processes
and requirements to guide the design of all crew transportation
capabilities. These requirements shall be at least equivalent
to proven requirements for crew transportation currently in
use, as well as any relevant recommendations of the Columbia
Accident Investigation Board, and should apply to all NASA-
funded vehicles that carry humans, both commercial and
Government-owned.
The Committee is pleased by NASA's commitment to hold
commercially developed launch vehicles to be used to carry out
NASA missions to the same safety standards as Government-
developed launch vehicles. The Committee encourages NASA to
develop plans to fully utilize NASA-owned rocket testing
infrastructure for commercially developed launch vehicles to
ensure that these vehicles are tested in the same manner as
Government-developed launch vehicles.
Commercial Orbital Transportation Services [COTS] Cargo.--
The Committee continues its support for ensuring the continued
viability and productivity of the International Space Station
through its extended service life by funding commercial cargo
transportation development. The full request of $312,000,000 is
provided to support the existing COTS cargo program, aimed at
enabling the commercial space industry in support of NASA to
develop reliable means of launching cargo and supplies to the
International Space Station throughout the duration of the
facilities' operation. To improve the prospects for COTS
program success and reduce schedule, technical, and
programmatic risk associated with an operational cargo service
program, within these funds NASA should prioritize projects to
support additional flight testing, accelerate development of
enhanced cargo carrying capability, including pressurized
downmass, and develop needed ground infrastructure not
otherwise supported within funds provided for within Space
Operations.
International Space Station as a National Laboratory.--This
Committee has consistently supported the construction and
operation of the International Space Station [ISS] on the
promise that it would support world class science that could
improve life on Earth. For example, experiments on the ISS may
yield a vaccine for salmonella, a food borne illness that
sickens 40,000 and kills 600 in the United States annually. The
Committee directs that no less than $48,500,000 of the funding
for the Human Research Program be used to fund research on the
ISS. In order for the ISS to truly function as a national lab,
it will need a robust research funding and the capability to
transport and carry out scientific experiments in the lab.
Technology Demonstration.--The Committee provides
$150,000,000 to conduct technology demonstration programs, of
which at least $27,000,000 shall be used to begin the Flagship
1 program.
Robotic Precursor Program.--The Committee agrees with the
proposed location of the Exploration Robotic Precursor Program
at Marshall Space Flight Center to build upon the work done
through the Lunar Precursor Robotic program. This proposed
office will manage robotic precursor missions to the Lagrange
points, nearby asteroids, Moon, Mars and its moons, and
identify the hazards and resources that will determine the
future course of human exploration into space. To best utilize
existing talent and leverage resources of NASA's various
robotic precursor missions, NASA shall consolidate management
of all elements of the robotic precursor program which shall be
funded at $45,000,000.

Satellite Servicing.--Within the amounts provided,
$75,000,000 shall be to continue efforts to use the next
generation of human space flight architecture to service
existing and future on-orbit observatory-class scientific
spacecraft, as well as spacecraft owned by the Department of
Defense and other Government agencies. The activities to be
undertaken shall be a joint project of the space operations,
science, and exploration mission directorates and shall include
technology demonstrations for both robotic and human servicing.
Additional Shuttle Flight.--The Committee provides
$620,600,000 for an additional shuttle logistics flight to the
International Space Station. This funding shall only be
available provided that the Administrator certifies to the
Committee that the flight will be at least as safe as the
remaining flights on the shuttle manifest dated February 28,
2010, that the intended mission is in the national interest,
and that it is worth the risks to be incurred. In making this
certification, the Administrator shall rely on any assessments
of the NASA Engineering and Safety Center evaluating crew
safety and alternative means of return, along with the advice
of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel.
International Space Station.--The Committee has provided
the full amount of $2,779,800,000 for the International Space
Station Program which includes ISS Operations and ISS Cargo
Crew Services. The Committee fully supports the
administration's plan to extend ISS research and operations
through 2020. Due to the pending retirement of the Space
Shuttle, commercial cargo transportation of experiments and
logistics is essential to ensuring that ISS can function as a
national laboratory.
21st Century Launch Complex.--The Committee provides
$453,600,000 for the 21st Century Launch Complex. This program
is intended to revitalize the aging infrastructure at the
Kennedy Space Center. NASA should place a priority on the use
of funds to improve NASA-owned facilities for launch vehicles
intended to serve NASA missions, including the heavy lift
launch vehicle system. Additional funding of $25,000,000 above
the request for the 21st Century Launch Complex shall be used
at other NASA flight facilities that are currently scheduled to
launch cargo to the International Space Station under the COTS
program, to improve the launch infrastructure to improve
efficiency and safety. NASA shall provide the Committee a 5-
year plan for this funding within 60 days of the date of
enactment of this act.
Space Operations.--The Committee notes that NASA has
consulted with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory [NRAO]
about utilizing the Very Long Baseline Array [VLBA] and other
NRAO facilities to meet NASA program requirements. NASA may use
up to $3,000,000 to maximize the dual use of the VLBA and other
NRAO national scientific assets for astronomy and NASA
spacecraft tracking and spacecraft telemetry.
Authority To Transfer.--Of the amounts provided within
Space Operations, up to $50,000,000 may be transferred to the
Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration,
and up to $15,000,000 may be transferred to the Department of
Labor. These funds shall be used to ease workforce transition
throughout the Nation due to realignment of the human space
flight program and the retirement of the Space Shuttle.
EDUCATION
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $182,500,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 145,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ 145,800,000
The Committee provides $145,800,000 for Education, which is
$36,700,000 below the fiscal year 2010 level and equal to the
President's request. The Education account funds science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics education activities
to educate and inspire our next generation of explorers and
innovators.
In addition to funds provided within the Education account,
each mission directorate utilizes funding for education
activities. However, NASA has been unable to provide an
adequate, full accounting of those activities Agency-wide,
therefore it is impossible for the Committee to know the extent
and value of the Agency's science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics [STEM] education efforts. The Committee therefore
directs NASA to include in its annual budget justifications the
amount within each mission directorate that will be expended
for education activities and the specific purposes for which
those funds will be expended.
Space Grant Program.--The Committee provides the full
budget request of $27,700,000 for the Space Grant program and
encourages NASA to work to achieve greater participation of
underserved students.
Classroom of the Future.--The Committee has provided the
full budget request of $1,000,000 for the Classroom of the
Future, which focuses on educational research, curriculum
design, teacher development and educational outreach in the
STEM disciplines.
Museums, Science Centers, and Planetariums.--The Committee
recommends $7,500,000 for a competitive grant program as
authorized by section 616 of Public Law 109-155.
Educational Activities at NASA Centers.--The Committee
provides $15,000,000 for the development of educational
activities at NASA's centers and directs NASA to distribute
this amount in equal amounts to each center's official visitor
center for the development of STEM educational activities,
including exhibits, without assessing any administrative
changes.
Informal Education.--A report by the National Academy of
Sciences, ``Learning Science in Informal Settings,'' found
evidence that nonschool science programs involving exhibits,
media projects, emerging learning technologies, and other
informal education programs increase students' interest in STEM
education. The Committee strongly supports informal science
education at NASA and encourages NASA to increase support for
these activities.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Engineer.--The Committee provides the full budget
request for activities of NASA's Chief Engineer to increase
direct technical support to high risk aspects of NASA's
missions in order to improve mission success, cost containment,
and schedule performance across all mission directorates. These
activities are critical to addressing Agency weaknesses
described in the Government Accountability Office's [GAO] high
risk report regarding NASA's acquisition management.
Independent Verification and Validation [IV&V] Program.--
Within the amounts provided for cross-agency support, the
Committee recommends the full budget request of $45,000,000 for
NASA's IV&V Program.
Technical Civil Service Workforce.--The Committee remains
concerned that NASA's full cost accounting structure does not
provide a transparent view of the funding requirements for the
Agency's civil service work force because funding for personnel
is contained within the NASA programs. The Committee supports
the establishment, at the beginning of fiscal year 2011 of a
consolidated Civil Service Labor and Expenses theme under the
Cross-Agency Support appropriations account as proposed by
NASA. However, the Committee recommends significant program and
funding changes from the request and therefore had insufficient
information to correctly account for civil service labor and
expenses costs. Therefore, the Committee requests that NASA
provide an accounting to the Committee for civil service labor
and expenses consistent with this report by no later than
August 15, 2010.
Employee Performance Communications System [ECPS].--The
EPCS is a five-level performance appraisal system that was
implemented in 2007. This system superseded a three-level EPCS
that encouraged employee participation in establishing
performance standards. Information obtained by employees under
the Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] reveals that this system,
as implemented at the Wallops Flight Facility, resulted in a
disproportionate number of less-than fully successful ratings
given to African-Americans. Although African-Americans
constitute 14 percent of the civil-service workforce at the
Wallops Flight Facility, this group constitutes 67 percent of
the needs improvement ratings
The FOIA information also revealed that no supervisor or
management official received a rating less than fully
successful for the calendar year 2009 appraisal period. The
Agency's own findings reveal the woeful inadequacies of the
EPCS. An Agency-directed OSHA Voluntary Protection Program
[VPP] report found that, with regard to the safety and health
performance element (an element assigned to at least 90 percent
of the Wallops workforce), the metrics for evaluation and
rating of employees is unclear. Therefore, the Committee
requests that the Government Accountability Office [GAO] audit
review NASA's EPCS system to examine its fairness and
effectiveness. The GAO's review should pay special attention to
whether the system discriminates on the basis of race or gender
or imposes higher burdens on employees not serving in
management positions.
NASA Enterprise Data Center.--The Committee is pleased by
NASA's efforts to create savings and efficiencies by
consolidating its IT infrastructure. To further increase
efficiencies, the Committee encourages NASA to co-locate the
NASA Enterprise Data Center at an existing NASA-owned and NASA
operated data complex with multiple other Federal tenants.
Termination Liability.--The Administrator, within 60 days
of enactment, shall provide a report detailing NASA's complete
termination liability exposure. This report shall include a
current estimate of NASA's termination liability by program and
project, a description of a uniform policy across NASA on
applying termination liability, a comprehensive list of NASA's
contracting mechanisms currently in use for maintaining
appropriate levels of termination liability, and a plan for the
inclusion of annual estimates for termination liability by
program and project as part of the annual budget submission to
Congress.
NASA's Use of Term Positions.--The Committee directs NASA
to provide a report no later than 60 days after enactment of
this act providing the total number of term positions (both new
hires and renewals) to be funded under this act, as well as a
summary of NASA's use of term positions since 1990.
Congressionally Designated Projects.--The Committee
provides funding for the following congressionally designated
projects, directs NASA to refrain from charging administrative
costs to these grants, and expects that NASA will provide
appropriate management and oversight of each grant:

Appropriations, 2010.................................... $36,400,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 37,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 38,000,000
The Committee recommendation provides $38,000,000 for the
Office of Inspector General [IG]. The Office is responsible for
promoting efficiency and preventing and detecting crime, fraud,
waste, and mismanagement.
Continuing To Monitor NASA Conference Expenditures.--In
March 2010, the IG issued a report investigating NASA-sponsored
conferences exceeding $20,000. The report highlights a
``Procurement Training Conference'' for NASA budget employees
held in Baltimore, Maryland, in December 2008. Costs for this
conference ran $495,173. A comparable conference costs one-half
the price for twice as many attendees. Bagels and coffee cost
$62,000, or $66 per person, $7 more than the per diem rate for
an entire day's meals. Under section 538 of the bill, NASA will
continue to submit quarterly reports to the IG regarding the
costs and contracting procedures relating to each conference or
meeting, held by NASA for which the cost to the Government was
more than $20,000. The IG shall continue to audit these
expenses to ensure that NASA has taken the corrective actions
suggested in the March 2010 report.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
The Committee includes bill language regarding the
availability of funds for certain prizes. The Committee also
includes bill language regarding: transfers of funds between
accounts, reductions in forces, and the availability of certain
funds from previous accounts and from the Endeavor Teacher
Fellowship Trust Fund. The bill also provides an additional
amount for acquisition workforce capacity and capabilities.
National Science Foundation
Appropriations, 2010\1\................................. $6,872,510,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 7,424,400,000
Committee recommendation................................ 7,353,400,000
\1\Excludes transfer of $54,000,000 to the Coast Guard.
The Committee's recommendation provides $7,353,400,000 for
the National Science Foundation [NSF]. The recommendation is
$480,890,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and
$71,000,000 below the budget request.
The National Science Foundation was established as an
independent agency by the National Science Foundation Act of
1950 (Public Law 81-507) and is authorized to support research
and education programs that promote the progress of science and
engineering in the United States. The Foundation supports
research and education in all major scientific and engineering
disciplines through grants, cooperative agreements, contracts,
and other forms of assistance in all parts of the United
States. The Foundation also supports unique, large-scale
research facilities and international facilities.
NSF is the principal Federal agency charged with promoting
science and engineering education from pre-kindergarten through
career development. This helps ensure that the United States
has world-class scientists, mathematicians and engineers, and
well-prepared citizens for today and the future. In today's
global economy, continued progress in science and engineering
and the transfer of the knowledge developed is vital if the
United States is to maintain its competitiveness. NSF is at the
leading edge of the research and discoveries that will create
the jobs and technologies of the future.
The Committee reiterates its long-standing requirement that
NSF request reprogrammings when initiating new programs or
activities of more than $500,000 or reorganizing components.
The Committee expects to be notified of reprogramming actions
which involve less than the above-mentioned amount if such
actions would have the effect of changing the agency's funding
requirements in future years, or if programs or projects
specifically cited in the Committee's reports are affected.
RESEARCH AND RELATED ACTIVITIES
Appropriations, 2010\1\................................. $5,563,920,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 6,018,830,000
Committee recommendation................................ 5,967,180,000
\1\Excludes transfer of $54,000,000 to the Coast Guard.
The Committee's recommendation provides $5,967,180,000. The
recommendation is $403,260,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and $51,650,000 below the budget request.
The Research and Related Activities appropriation funds
scientific discovery, trains a dynamic workforce, and supports
broadly accessible state-of-the-art tools and facilities.
Research activities will contribute to the achievement of these
outcomes through expansion of the knowledge base; integration
of research and education; stimulation of knowledge transfer
among academia and public and private sectors; and
international activities, and will bring the perspectives of
many disciplines to bear on complex problems important to the
Nation. The Foundation's discipline-oriented Research and
Related Activities account include: Biological Sciences;
Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Engineering;
Geosciences; Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Social,
Behavioral and Economic Sciences; Office of
Cyberinfrastructure; Office of International Science and
Engineering; Office of Polar Programs; Integrative Activities;
and U.S. Arctic Research Commission.
The Committee's fiscal year 2011 recommendation renews its
commitment to Federal long-term basic research that has the
potential to be transformative to our economy and our way of
life. As such, the recommendation provides the full funding
requested for major cross-foundation investments of Cyber-
enabled Discovery and Innovation and Science and Engineering
Beyond Moore's Law. Each of these programs aim to have a
transformative impact across science and engineering,
especially in areas of national priority first outlined by the
National Academies report ``Rising Above the Gathering Storm.''
Icebreaking.--NSF shall transfer $54,000,000 to the Coast
Guard. The Committee notes the budget request did not include
transfer of operating and maintenance funds for the polar
icebreakers from the NSF to the Coast Guard as directed in the
conference report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117). Despite increased security
needs in the Arctic, both heavy icebreakers, the Polar Star and
the Polar Sea, are currently out of service. For fiscal year
2012, the Committee expects the operating and maintenance
budget authority and 400 FTP/FTE to be included in the Coast
Guard's request and will not entertain an NSF request for this
funding. The two agencies shall update the existing Memorandum
of Agreement [MOA] to reflect this change in budget authority
and submit the updated MOA to the Committee before December 31,
2010.
Scientific Facilities and Instrumentation.--A critical
component of the Nation's scientific enterprise is the
infrastructure that supports researchers in discovery science.
Recent significant investments to advance the frontiers of
research and education in science and engineering will increase
the number of research grants and the success rate of funding
meritorious research proposals. The Committee expects the NSF
to fully fund world-class U.S. scientific research facilities
and instruments to adequately support scientists and students
engaged in ground-breaking research as a consequence of these
increased investments in research.
Astronomical Sciences.--The Committee is aware of the need
to increase access to 8-meter class telescopes for the U.S.
astronomical community. Demand for observing time on large
telescopes currently exceeds the available time by a factor of
3 to 4. The Committee recognizes that there is an opportunity
to meet this need through an increased U.S. share of the Gemini
program and provides an additional $2,000,000 above the request
for increased time on Gemini either through a direct increase
in the U.S. share or by providing instruments for Gemini.
The Committee encourages NSF to pursue the astronomy and
astrophysics decadal survey's recommendation to develop a giant
segmented mirror telescope and to develop that telescope on
domestic soil as a public-private partnership inclusive of
international partners, through the agency's major research
equipment and facilities construction process. This will help
to continue America's leadership in optical astronomy, while
supporting scientific and technical jobs to maintain our level
of excellence in this field.
National Radio Astronomy Observatory [NRAO].--The Committee
recommendation provides the full budget request of $81,803,000
for NRAO research and related activities and construction. The
Committee notes that progress has been made in identifying
valuable dual use capabilities of the Very Long Baseline Array
[VLBA] and the Green Bank Telescope and encourages NSF to work
with other Federal agencies in tapping these national
scientific assets to meet program requirements.
Cybersecurity.--The Committee recommendation includes the
full request of $144,550,000 for cybersecurity research,
including $55,000,000 for NSF's contribution to the
Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative. NSF provides
82 percent of the total Federal support for basic computer
science research at academic institutions. As government,
business and society become more interconnected and dependent
on computers, mobile devices, and the Internet, it becomes more
important that those systems be reliable, resilient and
resistant to attacks. The discovery and innovation in
cybersecurity supported by NSF will form the intellectual
foundations for practical applications that make our
information networks safer, more secure, and better able to
protect our information.
Experimental Program To Stimulate Competitive Research
[EPSCoR].--Within the amount provided, the Committee provides
$157,400,000 for EPSCoR, an amount that is approximately 7
percent higher than the fiscal year 2010 amount.
MAJOR RESEARCH EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $117,290,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 165,190,000
Committee recommendation................................ 155,190,000
The Committee recommendation provides $155,190,000. The
recommendation is $37,900,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and $10,000,000 below the budget request.
The major research equipment and facilities construction
appropriation supports the acquisition, procurement,
construction, and commissioning of unique national research
platforms and facilities as well as major research equipment.
Projects supported by this appropriation will push the
boundaries of technology and offer significant expansion of
opportunities, often in new directions, for the science and
engineering community. Preliminary design and development
activities, on-going operations, and maintenance costs of the
facilities are provided through the research and related
activities appropriation account.
The Committee's recommendation includes funding at the
requested level for the following four ongoing projects: the
Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory
[AdvLIGO]; the Atacama Large Millimeter Array [ALMA]; the Ocean
Observing Initiatives; and the Advanced Technology Solar
Telescope [ATST]. This amount also includes $10,000,000 to
initiate construction of the National Ecological Observatory
Network [NEON].
EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES
Appropriations, 2010.................................... $872,760,000
Budget estimate, 2011................................... 892,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 892,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $892,000,000. The
recommendation is $19,240,000 above the fiscal year 2010
enacted level and the same as the budget request.
The education and human resources appropriation supports a
comprehensive set of programs across all levels of education in
science, technology, engineering and mathematics [STEM]. The
appropriation supports activities that unite school districts
with institutions of higher learning to improve precollege
education. Other precollege activities include the development
of the next generation of precollege STEM education leaders;
instructional materials; and the STEM instructional workforce.
Undergraduate activities support curriculum, laboratory, and
instructional improvement; expand the STEM talent pool; attract
STEM participants to teaching; augment advanced technological
education at 2-year colleges; and develop dissemination tools.
Graduate support is directed to research and teaching
fellowships and traineeships and instructional workforce
improvement by linking precollege systems with higher
education. Programs also seek to broaden the participation of
groups underrepresented in the STEM enterprise, build State and
regional capacity to compete successfully for research funding,
and promote informal science education. Ongoing evaluation
efforts and research on learning strengthen the base for these
programs.
The Committee strongly encourages NSF to continue support
for undergraduate science and engineering education. At a time
when enrollment in STEM fields of study continues to decline,
it is important that NSF use its position to support students
working towards degrees in these areas.
Creating a strong science and engineering workforce for the
future is vital to maintaining the Nation's competitive edge.
As the recent National Academies report ``Rising Above the
Gathering Storm'' and, before that, the Hart-Rudman report on
``Road Map for National Security: Imperative for Change'' so
illustratively point out, the future of U.S. competitiveness
rests on our ability to train the next generation of scientists
and engineers.
Robert Noyce Scholarship Program.--The Committee has
provided the requested level of $55,000,000 for the Robert
Noyce Scholarship program. This program helps fill the critical
need for STEM teachers in elementary and secondary schools by
funding institutions of higher education to provide
scholarships, stipends, and programmatic support to recruit and
prepare STEM majors and professionals to become K-12 teachers.
Scholarship and stipend recipients are required to complete 2
years of teaching in a high-need school district for each year
of support.
Federal Cyber Service: Scholarships for Service.--At the
same time that more Americans rely on the Internet and
networked systems for business and pleasure, threats to those
systems are growing. The Federal Cyber Service: Scholarships
for Service program helps the Federal Government respond to
threats to our information technology infrastructure by
providing scholarships to train cyber security professionals.
In return, scholarship recipients agree to serve in a Federal
Government agency position, building the Government's capacity
to understand, respond to, and prevent cyber threats. More than
900 students have completed the program which was initiated in
fiscal year 2001; 92.6 percent of students have placed with
more than 120 Federal agencies. The Committee provides
$45,000,000, which is $30,000,000 above the requested level, to
expand the Federal Cyber Service: Scholarships for Service
program.
Not less than $20,000,000 of the additional amount should
be used specifically for graduate candidates, to include
master's and doctoral students.
Informal Science Education.--The Committee maintains its
strong support for NSF's informal science education program. A
report from the National Academy of Sciences, ``Learning
Science in Informal Settings'', found evidence that nonschool
science programs involving exhibitions, media projects,
emerging learning technologies, nonschool science programs, and
other informal education programs stimulate students and
increase their interest in STEM education. The Committee
encourages NSF to increase its support for the development of
online accessible repositories of digital media and other
materials to assist teachers and students in STEM education.
Promoting STEM Education Through Competition.--The future
of U.S. competitiveness rests on our ability to train the next
generation of scientists and engineers. The Committee has acted
on the ``Rising Above the Gathering Storm'' recommendation to
improve K-12 STEM education by robustly funding the National
Science Foundation and other science agencies. The Committee
also recognizes the important contributions of groups and
organizations that have developed nationwide STEM robotics
competitions to inspire and train America's students. The
Committee directs NSF to set aside $2,000,000 for a competitive
program of grants to promote STEM education through robotics
competitions. Within 60 days of enactment of this act, the
National Science Foundation is directed to provide a report and
spend plan to the Committee, which details the scope of the
program and the criteria and methodology the agency will employ
to award these grants.
Professional Science Master's [PSM] Degree.--The Committee
strongly encourages NSF to continue support for the
Professional Science Master's [PSM] degree programs funded
through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (Public Law
111-5) as authorized in the America COMPETES Act (Public Law
110-69). To remain competitive in the global economy, America
needs to develop more expertise in STEM fields; the PSM
provides a pathway for students with undergraduate degrees in
STEM fields and is a critical program for preparing future
science professionals and leaders. The Committee strongly
recommends that NSF incorporate requests for funding in fiscal
year 2012 budget and beyond.
Broadening Participation.--The Committee denies the NSF's
request to merge initiatives to broaden participation by
consolidating three existing programs, the Historically Black
Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program [HBCU-UP], the
Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation [LSAMP] and
the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program [T-CUP]. These
three programs each have different purposes and engage students
and colleges and universities in a different manner. One size
will not fit all. The Committee directs NSF to maintain HBCU-UP
at $32,000,000; LSAMP at $44,750,000; and T-CUP at $14,000,000.
Any remaining funding available for Undergraduate/Graduate
Student Support may be used for an integrated broadening
participation of undergraduates in STEM that includes
institutions eligible for these three programs as well as
institutions eligible under section 7033 of the America

representation of illegal aliens; (4) political activities; (5)
abortion; (6) prisoner litigation; (7) welfare reform; (8)

remains in place.
The manner in which the LSC grantees are audited through
contracts with certified public accountants for financial and
compliance audits are continued, along with the provisions on
recompetition and debarment.
The Committee recognizes that the LSC current percentage
locality pay represents reasonable compensation for LSC
officers and employees. The Committee expects that any locality
pay will continue to be paid at that percentage.

Senate Committees on Appropriations, as directed in the
explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 111-117, that it

commodities. Its areas of responsibility include all matters
relating to the World Trade Organization, trade, commodity, and
direct investment matters dealt with by certain international
institutions; industrial, agricultural and services trade
policy; and trade-related protection of intellectual property
and the environment.
The Committee notes that the administration's Government-
wide request for the National Export Initiative [NEI] failed to
include USTR. While the Committee has generally supported the
NEI, several existing mandates within USTR are worth advancing
for the new initiative to succeed. Specifically, the Committee
recommends additional funding to resolve outstanding issues
related to pending free trade agreements with Korea, Panama,
and Colombia, and negotiations shall be conducted to reach an
ambitious conclusion to the Trans-Pacific Partnership free
trade agreement negotiations. In addition, the USTR shall work
to enforce international trade obligations undertaken by our
trading partners, including those relating to labor and
intellectual property rights issues. Within the funds provided,
the USTR shall utilize resources to successfully host the 2011
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Meeting of Ministers
Responsible for Trade Ministerial.
World Trade Organization.--The Committee is aware of the
World Trade Organization [WTO] Appellate Body's January 16,

consultation with the Department of Commerce, to continue to
negotiate within the WTO to seek express recognition of the
existing right of WTO members to distribute monies collected
from antidumping and countervailing duties as they deem
appropriate. The agency shall consult with and provide regular
reports to the Senate Committee on Appropriations on this
matter every 60 days upon enactment of this act on the
negotiations.
In addition, the Committee directs that negotiations be
conducted within the WTO consistent with the negotiating
objectives contained in the Trade Act of 2002, Public Law 107-
210, to maintain strong U.S. trade remedies laws, prevent
overreaching by WTO Panels and the WTO Appellate Body, and
prevent the creation of obligations never negotiated or agreed
to by the United States.

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 ``congressional 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.
