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 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 $64,926,066,000 for the Departments of Commerce and Justice,
science, and related agencies for fiscal year 2010. This amount
is $313,755,000 above 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
$366,408,000 above the fiscal year 2009 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 $270,174,000,
which is an increase of $80,613,000 above the fiscal year 2009
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 $3,164,600,000 for State and local law enforcement, which is
$411,112,000 above the President's request. The Committee's
recommendation includes $100,000,000 for Community Oriented
Policing Services [COPS] hiring grants to put 500 new officers
on the beat and $510,000,000 for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grants.
The Committee's recommendation also includes a record
$435,000,000 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 $25,491,000 to support 50 additional special agents
and 93 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 $265,000,000 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
$878,000,000 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 $6,900,000,000 for
basic research through the National Science Foundation [NSF].
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
$857,000,000 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 $1,930,361,000 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 $1,400,000,000 for NASA's Earth
science missions, including $135,000,000 for new Earth science
missions recommended by the National Academy of Science to
measure ice melt and $640,000,000 for NASA science to better
understand how the Sun affects the Earth. In addition, the
Committee recommends $1,215,436,000 to fund our next generation
climate and weather satellites that are important to
understanding changes in our planet's climate.
Accountability and Oversight.--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 two 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.
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 2009. 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 2010, 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
2011 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
2010 and 2011. 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 2011 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 2011 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 $14,043,253,000 for the
Department of Commerce [DOC]. The recommendation is
$4,775,736,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level,
excluding supplemental appropriations, and $254,500,000 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 sciences 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 market place, 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.
One of the largest management challenges facing DOC is
fulfilling its constitutional obligation to conduct a timely
and accurate 2010 census. In 2009, the Committee provided over
$3,140,000,000 for the 2010 census with funds in the 2009
omnibus and in the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and
based on past performance the Committee remains apprehensive
about the management of this program. Two years ago, laptop
computers were misplaced, raising concerns about the privacy
and security of personal information. Last year, the handheld
computer system could not be fully implemented due to a failed
Government contract, forcing the Census Bureau to revert back
to archaic paper-based systems. This year, the Committee is
watchful of new reforms to ensure no new blunders arise forcing
the census to be delayed or even compromised.
Another challenge facing the Department is the successful
operations of the Patent and Trademark Office [USPTO], which is
vital to America's competitiveness in the global marketplace.
The Committee has learned that during these recent economic
times, fees collections are $100,000,000 less than expected,
and patent and trademark applications have decreased. These
trends could complicate an already poor-morale and low-
retention environment. The Committee is concerned that this
situation will increase the backlog problem.
In 2010, 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.
Finally, 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 25 percent of NOAA's budget,
with over $1,200,000,000 requested in 2010. 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 handle recent recommendations to realistically bring
the satellite program back on track and maintain proper
oversight of the program and its associated contractors.

Offsetting Fee Collections.--The Committee recommendation
adopts the proposed offsetting fee collections of $9,439,000,
which the Committee believes is realistic and achievable.
Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties Study.--The
Committee directs the Secretary of Commerce to work with the
Secretaries of Homeland Security, and the Treasury to conduct
an analysis and report to Congress on the relative advantages
and disadvantages of prospective and retrospective anti-dumping
and countervailing duty systems. The report should address the
extent to which each type of anti-dumping and countervailing
duty system would likely achieve the goals of remedying
injurious dumping or subsidized exports, minimizing uncollected
duties, reducing incentives and opportunities for importers to
evade anti-dumping and countervailing duties, effectively
targeting high-risk importers, addressing the impact of
retrospective rate increases on U.S. importers and their
employees, and creating a minimal administrative burden. The
report is due 180 days after enactment of this act.
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 Commercial Services for its
leadership role in helping to implement the mission of the
ATTP. The Committee expects the Commercial Services 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.
U.S. Foreign Commercial Service.--The U.S. Foreign
Commercial Service promotes the export of goods and services
from the United States, particularly by small- and-medium-sized
businesses, and represents U.S. business interests
internationally. Currently, there are 77 countries staffed by
Foreign Commercial Service Officers and locally employed
specialists. However, there have been a rapidly growing number
of ``limited'' officers assigned to non-commercial posts
working on intellectual property rights, enforcement, and
standards, as well as officers serving in domestic locations,
which has seriously diminished the number of officers
conducting core commercial activities. Overall staffing has
dropped from 1,736 in 2004 to 1,513 in 2008. The number of core
commercial officers has also dropped from 250 in 2004 to less
than 180 in 2008. The Committee provides an additional
$4,500,000 above the amount requested for this service, and
directs the administration to begin reversing this trend of
staff reductions and improper staff assignments. The Committee
requests that the Government Accountability Office [GAO]
conduct a study that evaluates: (1) cost estimates related to
improving the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service workforce, (2)
the current international need, and any service gaps, resulting
from the reduced number of officers working overseas, and (3)
the level of financial support the U.S. Foreign Commercial
Service received from the administration in relation to its
sibling services in the Departments of State and Agriculture.
The Committee provides $1,500,000 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.

Budget estimate, 2010................................... 100,342,000
House allowance......................................... 100,342,000
Committee recommendation................................ 100,342,000
The Committee recommendation provides $100,342,000 for the
Bureau of Industry and Security [BIS]. The recommendation is
$16,666,000 above the fiscal year 2009 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.
Within the amount provided under this heading, $54,432,000
is for export administration, $39,854,000 is for export
enforcement, and $6,056,000 is for 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.
The Committee supports the administration's request for the
increase of funding for export enforcement operations including
inspections and other activities related to national security.
New regulations issued last year increase BIS's responsibility
to track the illicit procurement of U.S.-origin items
detrimental to national security and to manage the Department's
Entities List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 of the Export
Administration Regulations), and additional funds are required
to increase the available number of Export Control Officers and
support their activities.

The Committee's recommendation provides $238,000,000 for
the Economic Development Administration [EDA]. The
recommendation is $34,800,000 below the fiscal year 2009
enacted level, not including supplemental funding and
$46,000,000 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.

\1\Including $150,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding and $40,000,000 in supplemental
appropriation funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $200,000,000 for
Economic Development Assistance Programs. The recommendation is
$40,000,000 below the fiscal year 2009 level, not including
supplemental funding, and $46,000,000 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 recommendation includes $8,500,000 for the
Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive; $40,000,000 for
public works grants (title I); $30,000,000 for planning
assistance; $10,000,000 for technical assistance; $1,500,000
for research and evaluation; $20,000,000 for trade adjustment
assistance for communities and for firms; and $90,000,000 for
economic adjustment grants (title IX). The Committee supports
the President's initiatives within the 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.
In previous years, EDA provided grants to assist
communities impacted by military base closures, realignments,
and expansions. The Committee supports this grant activity, and
encourages future budget requests to identify funding required
to meet similar needs created by the 2005 round of Base
Realignment and Closure and other recent defense realignments.
Within 60 days of the enactment of this act, EDA, in
coordination with the Department of Defense Office of Economic
Adjustment, shall submit a report reestablishing such a grant
program for localities designated as military growth and
closures communities that includes criteria for eligible
communities and projects, and future funding requirements.

\1\Includes $1,000,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $7,324,731,000 for
the Census Bureau. The recommendation is $3,184,881,000 above
the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $50,000,000 below the
budget request.
The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2010 budget is a
critical year for the Census Bureau as it begins initial
operations of the decennial census. Accordingly, the amounts
provided by the Committee to the Census Bureau are sufficient
for the activities that are critical to the agency, including
its primary function, the decennial census.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $233,588,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 259,024,000
House allowance......................................... 259,024,000
Committee recommendation................................ 259,024,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $259,024,000 for
salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $25,436,000 above
the fiscal year 2009 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.
The Committee has provided the full increase of $11,661,000
to improve measurement of the service sector. This increase
will provide economic policy makers with more comprehensive and
timely data on the service economy, which now accounts for 55
percent of all economic activity. In addition, the Committee's
recommendation provides $50,279,000 to ensure a full Survey of
Income and Program Participation [SIPP] sample of 45,000
households.
PERIODIC CENSUSES AND PROGRAMS
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $3,906,262,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 7,115,707,000
House allowance......................................... 7,115,707,000
Committee recommendation................................ 7,065,707,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $7,065,707,000 for
periodic censuses and programs. The recommendation is
$4,159,445,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and
$50,000,000 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.
2010 Decennial Census.--The Committee's recommendation
rejects the House approach of using the census contingency fund
to pay for 2010 census requirements. This contingency fund is
held in reserve to tackle unforeseen obstacles. Without this
safety net, the census could run the risk of not fulfilling its
constitutional mandate.
Mileage Reimbursement for Temporary Workers.--The 2010
census will be the largest civilian mobilization to date. The
Census Bureau will hire 1.4 million temporary workers, many of
whom will use their own vehicles to travel door-to-door to
visit residences that have not responded to mailed census
surveys. The Committee fully supports their full and timely
reimbursement for mileage traveled. However, the census budget
request assumes a reimbursement of 62.5 cents per mile, which
is 7.5 cents per mile more than the current rate received by
Federal employees, as determined by the General Services
Administration [GSA]. Therefore, the Committee's recommendation
provides sufficient funding to ensure that temporary employees
will receive full mileage reimbursement at a rate that is
equivalent to that of all Federal employees.
Partnership.--The Committee is concerned that the Census
Bureau must reach the hardest to count populations, including
seniors, rural communities and minorities. Therefore, the
Committee expects the Census Bureau to hire a diverse and local
pool of temporary employees. These indigenous workers bring
language skills as well as cultural understanding to facilitate
greater outreach and result in a more accurate count.
Inspector General Recommendations.--The Committee notes
that the Office of the Inspector General [OIG] issued three
recommendations to promote an accurate address list and contain
costs. The Committee is concerned that the Census Bureau has
failed to implement these recommendations. The Committee
directs the Census Bureau to report within 60 days of enactment
of this act on the steps it is taking to implement the OIG's
recommendations.
The Committee adopts by reference report language that
accompanies the fiscal year 2008 supplemental appropriations
for the Census Bureau regarding the development and reporting
of milestones associated with the 2010 census.

The Committee's recommendation provides $19,999,000 for
salaries and expenses. The recommendation is $781,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level not including supplemental
funding, and the same as the budget request.
The Committee's 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, 2010, detailing the collection of
reimbursements from other agencies related to spectrum
management, analyses, and research.
PUBLIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, PLANNING, AND CONSTRUCTION
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $20,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010...................................................
House allowance......................................... 20,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 20,000,000
The Committee provides $20,000,000 for Public
Telecommunications Facilities, Planning, and Construction
[PTFPC]. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal year 2009
funding level and $20,000,000 above the budget request. This
program was created to provide needed resources to construct
and upgrade public television and radio stations across the
country. Over the years, this funding has been critical to
helping stations maintain services by providing funds to
stations in need of equipment replacements and upgrades. As
radio stations across the Nation face unprecedented financial
hardship, now is not the time to propose the elimination of
this program. The Committee recognizes the overwhelming need
the program fills for communities, and denies the
administration's request to eliminate this program.
United States Patent and Trademark Office
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $2,010,100,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,930,361,000
House allowance......................................... 1,930,361,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,930,361,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $1,930,361,000 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 on Appropriations of
the Senate 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.
Patent Examiners.--The Committee is concerned with the
turnover in patent examiners. Numerous reviews conducted by the
Government Accountability Office [GAO] have shown that for
every two examiners hired, one leaves the agency. Contrary to
the view of senior management, most examiners who left the
agency have cited the unreasonable work productivity goals as a
major reason for their departure. In order to meet their goals
many examiners have to work unpaid overtime or while on annual
leave. These goals which were first adopted in 1976 have not
been updated to address the ever more complex technologies that
encompass today's patent applications. The unrealistic goals
are forcing junior examiners to leave which will have a lasting
impact on the agency, making it difficult to replace the
productivity rates of senior examiners when they subsequently
retire. Therefore, the Committee has restricted access to
$25,000,000 until the director begins a comprehensive re-
evaluation of the work productivity goals for patent examiners.
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 on
Appropriations of the Senate a spending plan for fiscal year
2010. This spending plan shall incorporate all carryover
balances from previous fiscal years, and describe any changes
to the patent or trademark fee structure.
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $1,399,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 846,100,000
House allowance......................................... 781,100,000
Committee recommendation................................ 878,800,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $878,800,000 for
the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST]. The
recommendation is $59,800,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level not including supplemental funding and
$32,700,000 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

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 7 percent
over the 2009 fiscal year level. Within the funds provided,
NIST is directed to expand its capabilities and resources into
the Pacific region through a Pacific Islands component of NIST,
and is provided $750,000 to expand its biodiversity storage
capabilities into the region.
The Committee includes funding within the amounts provided

The Committee's recommendation provides $194,600,000 for
Industrial Technology Services [ITS]. The recommendation is
$19,600,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal
to budget request.
Supporting the Nation's manufacturers, especially small
businesses, is critical to keeping America innovative in a
global marketplace. ITS provides a bridge for advancing
cutting-edge technologies with cost-saving measures. The
Committee is encouraged by the administration's healthy request
for ITS, which shows a genuine intention to partner with
industry for the benefit of the Nation's future. The Committee
supports NIST's requested allocation of funding for the
Hollings Manufacturing Extension Program [MEP] and the
Technology Innovation Program.
Within MEP, NIST, and its partners are directed to consider
the importance automation plays in accelerating and integrating
manufacturing processes. The topic of automation cuts across
all levels of industry, rather than serving as a stand-alone
technology, and particularly affects the fields of control
systems cyber security, industrial wireless sensors, systems
interoperability, and other basic automation technologies
necessary for the success of industrial enterprises. NIST is
encouraged to consult and collaborate with independent experts
in the field of automation to support the agency's efforts in
working with industry to increase innovation, trade, security,
and jobs.

construction of research facilities. The recommendation is
$8,100,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level not
including supplemental funding and $47,000,000 above the budget
request.
The recommendation funds the highest priority safety,
capacity, maintenance, and repair projects at NIST.
JILA Expansion.--The Committee has learned that NIST has
not entered into a formal acquisition agreement with its
partners to expand the JILA facility. Within 60 days of
enactment of this act, the agency shall amend its formal
memorandum of understanding with JILA partners to incorporate
language addressing each party's responsibility including
project contingencies and cost overruns.
The Committee directs NIST to provide quarterly reports on
the status of all construction projects.
The Committee provides $47,000,000 for congressionally
designated projects, and directs the National Institute of

The Committee's recommendation provides $4,772,816,000 for
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA]. The
recommendation is $407,620,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level, excluding supplemental appropriations, and
$299,000,000 above the budget request.
Following a familiar trend, the administration's 2010
budget request for NOAA proposes to again underfund one of our
Nation's leading scientific agencies. With a diverse
environmental portfolio, talented workforce, and supportive
external community base, the Committee is befuddled as to the
administration's motivation for under funding this agency. The
agency cannot effectively meet its mission objectives under
these circumstances, and is once again forcing the Committee to
bridge the financial gap between an unrealistic budget request
and sensible recommendation.

the budget request.
The Committee provides funding for congressionally
designated projects listed within 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, and directs NOAA to refrain from
charging administrative costs to these grants. The Committee
expects that NOAA will provide appropriate management and
oversight of each grant.
NOAA NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE
The Committee recommends $511,550,000 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
recommendation provides a total of $34,055,000 for the
Integrated Ocean Observation System, of which $6,555,000 is for
program administration, and $27,500,000 is provided for
continued support for a testbed for quantitatively evaluating
the performance of new and existing coastal technologies in the
laboratory and under diverse environmental conditions, and for
a competitive, regional ocean observing systems solicitation.
The budget request for IOOS reinforces the Committee's concern
that the community's vision for this program is larger than
NOAA's own internal initiative. Outside support for IOOS's
overall funding--which includes long-standing recommendations
from the Joint Ocean Commission--far outweighs this unrealistic
budget request. A proven ocean observation network could be the
very essence of a true National Ocean Service, maximizing both
external and internal resources. Yet, this program instead
seems to languish in stagnant funding requests and unachievable
goals. Meanwhile, as NOAA struggles with IOOS's intra-agency
identify, current assets within the community are being pulled
away and shut down. NOAA fails to acknowledge that its own
strategic plan for this program, though becoming narrower and
more focused as the program matures, has no validity without
the support of its State and regional partners. Such a trend
suggests that little consideration is given to long-term
measurements to support long-term results. Although this
Committee has endeavored to bridge this financial gap in past
fiscal year recommendations, continual lackluster requests
coupled with current funding constraints have left the
Committee with no other option than to provide a modest
increase compared to the true need. The administration should
create a more holistic funding recommendation in 2011, and
should consider reorganizing resources within the agency across
line offices to create a more salient internal program.
In addition, the Committee recognizes the broad value of
the consortium of sensor testbeds and advancing new sensor
technologies, and provides $3,000,000 for these activities. The
agency is directed to report to the Committee within 30 days of
enactment of this act on the feasibility of establishing a
cooperative institute for the purpose of advancing and
sustaining this essential capability and including it in future
requests. The Committee is aware that IOOS is working to
distribute the management and execution of the coastal facets
of its observing activities among numerous regional networks.
Unfortunately, as the agency builds towards the development of
this coastal observation system, it lacks a cost-effective
national modeling test bed which integrates data from observing
networks throughout multiple regional associations in mesoscale
meteorology, landscape hydrology, river flows, coastal
inundation, coastal circulation, and marine ecology.
Since the U.S. Atlantic and gulf coasts encompass two-
thirds of the Nation's tidal shores and face multiple economic,
human health, public safety and operational conditions, the
Committee has included $4,500,000 for NOAA to initiate and
competitively award an extramurally based super regional test
bed that enables data integration and dissemination to
understand, predict, and mitigate the consequences of both
extreme events and chronic conditions in the U.S. Atlantic and
gulf regions. Such a test bed should include no less than 20
academic partners and research institutions to guarantee it is
multi-disciplinary, and inclusive of community-modeling. The
test bed must demonstrate how to improve forecasting of
phenomena and require scientists to share use of numerical
models, observations, and tools needed to elucidate,
prioritize, and resolve issues associated with interoperable
coupling of a range of existing and emerging coastal oceanic,
atmospheric, hydrologic, and ecological models, including the
participation of other portions of NOAA beyond the National
Ocean Service. The Committee directs NOAA to outline its
approach and timeline for this effort in the Department's
fiscal year 2010 operating plan.
Tide and Current Data.--The Committee provides an
additional $3,800,000 above the administration's request to
fully support the entire design, installation, maintenance, and
operations of the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System
[PORTS], as authorized by Public Law 107-372. The Committee
believes these operations, which exist as a partnership between
NOAA and local port authorities, have been extremely valuable
tools for providing information for safe vessel navigation and
data for weather and coastal monitoring used by other national
programs. NOAA is directed to request the program's full
support, including operation and maintenance, in future budget
requests.
Coastal Services Center.--The Committee's recommendation
provides an increase of $6,000,000 above the administration's
request, which includes $4,100,000 more for the Pacific Coastal
Services Center for a total of $5,000,000. The remainder of the
increased funding is for the gulf coast and west coast service
centers.
Ocean Health Initiative.--The Committee is disappointed
with the administration's reduction in this valuable national
program, and restores the fiscal year 2009 level of $4,000,000.
All of NOAA's ocean programs touch the lives of people
everyday, but this initiative is one that directly and
immediately shows the links between humans and the ocean. The
Committee expects a more reasonable request for this program in
future years.
Response and Restoration.--The Committee provides an
additional $1,000,000 for the Office of Response and
Restoration, working jointly with the Office of National Marine
Sanctuaries, to solicit an independent assessment of potential
man-made undersea threats, that could impact coastal and Great
Lakes States. Such an assessment shall be conducted by a
reputable outside group working for NOAA to effectively link
environmental assessment results with that of the capable
expertise of the salvage industry to create a prioritized list
of hazardous undersea threats to protect our Nation's coasts
and shorelines from the discharge of unsafe material. Careful
consideration shall be made by all parties to not disclose
sensitive and confidential information that could be protected
by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 in an effort
to protect and preserve non-hazardous, cultural and historical
marine resources.
CZM and Stewardship.--The Committee provides an increase of
$1,500,000 over the fiscal year 2009 level for this valuable
office, which provides services and expertise to coastal and
Great Lakes programs throughout the country. However, the
Committee does not support the new coastal task force
initiative proposed by the administration which mimics the
recent Presidential memorandum assigning such a national ocean
policy taskforce to the Council of Environmental Quality
announced after the budget request.
Regional Geospatial Modeling Grants.--The Committee
provides $5,500,000 to continue funding for this competitive
program for 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.
NOAA NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE
The Committee's recommendation provides $872,373,000 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.

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.
National Environmental Policy Act [NEPA].--The Committee is
deeply concerned about the impacts of a proposed liquefied
natural gas [LNG] facility in Fall River, Massachusetts. The
proposal calls for the construction of an offshore berth in
Mount Hope Bay that will be connected to an onshore storage
facility by two 4.25-mile-long cryogenic pipelines. The
dredging activity and vessel traffic associated with the
proposed project will have a lasting effect on essential fish
habitat for 14 federally managed species and critical stocks,
particularly the southern New England winter flounder. The
Committee notes that in April 2009 the National Marine
Fisheries Service issued a final interim rule for the 2009
groundfish season that prohibits the retention of any catch of
southern New England winter flounder due to concern about the
condition of the stock. The Committee has also committed
significant resources toward efforts to help restore
commercially valuable stocks and the New England fishing
industry. Therefore, the Committee expects the National Marine
Fisheries Service, in providing comments to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission on any draft environmental impact
statement for the proposal, to insist on mitigation measures,
including a no-action alternative, that will ensure the
recovery of southern New England winter flounder.
Protected Species.--In addition to the amounts requested,
the Committee provides programmatic increases of: $1,619,000
for Hawaiian Monk Seal activities for a total of $4,000,000;
$4,348,000 for Hawaiian Sea Turtle and Incident Take activities
for a total of $7,800,000; $683,000 for the study and
protection of cetaceans in the Pacific for a total of
$1,500,000.
Observer/Training.--In addition to the amounts requested,
the Committee provides programmatic increases of: $3,015,000
for Hawaiian Longline Observer Program for a total of
$7,100,000.
Fisheries Research and Management.--Within the amounts the
Committee recommends programmatic increase of $750,000 for
regulation activities associated with the Pacific Marine
Monuments.
Enforcement.--The Committee is encouraged by the
administration's request for vessel monitoring, and provides
additional funding for a total of $1,500,000 for the program to
continue the ongoing program to install electronic logbooks on
shrimp boats as required to monitor and reduce bycatch, end
overfishing, and rebuild overfished stocks including red
snapper, and to ensure the sustainability of shrimp fisheries.
The Committee notes that this program is inherent to the
agency's core mission and implementation of current shrimp
fishery regulations, and expects that sufficient funding will
be reflected in future budget requests.
Regional Studies--Chesapeake Bay.--The Committee directs
NOAA's Chesapeake Bay Office to continue 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.
NOAA OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH
The Committee's recommendation provides $419,781,000 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.--Of the funds
provided for Ocean, Coastal and Great Lakes Research,
$3,200,000 is for the Northern Gulf Institute [NGI]. The NGI is
a cooperative institute [CI] that was solicited and
competitively selected by NOAA to develop regional approaches
to ecosystem management, and research on the interface between
human, watershed, coast, ocean, and atmosphere continuum. NGI
won the competitive bid and has excelled in meeting its goals,
as well as the ones independently established by NOAA. As a
result, NGI has been held up as a model institute, created
under the new CI process, and has had a major impact on
regional approaches to research and educational program
development. The Committee is disappointed that NOAA did not
request any funding for this cooperative institute that NOAA
itself created. The Committee believes this is yet another
unfortunate example of NOAA's failure to provide adequate
services that address the pressing and critical needs in the
Gulf of Mexico. The gulf region is a significant contributor to
the Nation's economy, and NOAA's own data shows that the gulf
experiences the highest frequency of severe weather and is
affected by more disasters than any other region. Therefore,
the Committee expects NOAA to end this inequity by providing
adequate base funding for this activity in future budget
requests.
National Sea Grant College Program.--The Committee provides
$63,085,000, of which $4,800,000 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 recognizes 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 their
divided 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 operations in the Pacific and to advance exploration in
the Indian Ocean.
NOAA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
The Committee's recommendation provides $889,122,000 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
$16,000,000 for continuation and expansion of the national
mesonet program. Funds shall be allocated as follows: (1)
$8,500,000 to maintain data procurements from existing surface
in situ mesonet observations, including those observations
added as a result of the fiscal year 2009 expansion of the
National Mesonet program; (2) $6,000,000 for competitive
expansion of the national mesonet program to include
integration of additional surface in-situ observational data
from existing networks, with 75 percent of the funds for data
acquisition from urban and 25 percent for non-urban (rural,
mountainous, and coastal) areas; (3) $500,000 for the National
Mesonet Program Office for program oversight and data
utilization initiatives; and (4) $1,000,000 for data validation
tools for quality control and network monitoring and
reliability, with up to $500,000 of these funds for MADIS
expansion. 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 disappointed that the fiscal year 2010 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 2011 budget a
robust and expanded national mesonet program. Further, the
Committee notes it required NOAA to submit a plan 90 days after
enactment of the fiscal year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations on
implementation of the national mesonet program, a deadline with
which the Agency has not complied. The Committee expects this
plan to be submitted within 30 days of the Committee filing its
report on the fiscal year 2010 Commerce, Justice, science and
related agencies appropriations bill.
NOAA NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE, DATA, AND INFORMATION SERVICE
The Committee's recommendation provides $176,065,000 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.

NOAA-WIDE PROGRAM SUPPORT
The Committee recommendation provides $432,240,000 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 has provided an additional $6,957,000 to the budget request
for competitive education grants. NOAA is encouraged to support
informal education partnership efforts to use new online
broadband and digital media technologies to improve STEM
education related to weather, climate, the Great Lakes and the
ocean. NOAA is also directed to use $2,500,000 of these funds
to continue education and public outreach opportunities with
accredited zoos and aquariums, an initiative created in fiscal
year 2009.
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 Operation.--Within 90 days of enactment of this act,
NOAA shall provide the Committee with a report recommending how
the agency could modernize its Ketchikan, Alaska port facility,
complete with cost estimates and priorities.
Aviation Operations.--The Committee encourages NOAA,
working with the Federal Aviation Administration, to continue
to investigate the potential opportunities created, and the
risks posed, by unmanned aerial vehicles [UAV] operating in
civil air space. Recent advancements in UAV technology have
progressed so much that these vehicles are on the cusp of
conducting routine environmental missions as a matter of
standard operations. NOAA's unique aviation expertise, as a
provider of quality control and a developer of national
standards, is a valuable national asset to the UAV industry
which clearly has the potential to conduct operations not only
on behalf of NOAA programs, but also that of other agencies and
even academia.

National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite
System [NPOESS].--The NPOESS program has struggled for years
with cost overruns and schedule delays resulting in a high risk
of gaps occurring to our Nation's weather and climate satellite
coverage. A recent independent review team tasked with
assessing all aspects of the program found many overarching
flaws, ultimately determining that NPOESS is a program with a
low probability of success. This conclusion reinforces the
Committee's lack of confidence in the management of this
important program. Although the administration provides the
Committee with updates on the program's milestones and
setbacks, the Committee has not received long-term, realistic
budget projections that coincide with a reformed strategic
plan. Changes to the overall management structure are needed to
bring the program back in line, which includes modifying the
relationship between NOAA and the Department of Defense, and to
enlist more help from an agency with real space acquisition
experience, such as NASA.
The administration has not responded to any recommendations
from the recent review team, and the Committee was told that it
could not expect any management changes until after the 2010
budget is passed. Recognizing how critical this satellite
program is to forecasting our Nation's weather, the Committee's
recommendation fully funds the budget request for 2010 based on
current information. However, the program's long-term
projections for success are dubious, and if NPOESS is to
ultimately achieve its mission, the administration needs to
disengage from its auto-pilot management style, start making
responsible decisions and regain control of this unwieldy
program. Within 30 days of enactment of this act, the
administration is directed to provide the Committee with a new
inter-agency management plan for NPOESS addressing all of the
recommendations from every recent internal and external review.
NOAA Cooperative Institute and Research Center for
Southeast Weather and Hydrology.--$15,000,000 is provided for
the continued construction of a research facility and weather
related instrumentation and equipment. The Gulf of Mexico
region lacks the infrastructure, research, and support from
NOAA that other regions of the country have perpetually
received. The Department of Commerce and NOAA have continued to
ignore this region's vulnerability to weather-related
disasters. Since 1980, the largest instances of billion dollar
weather-related catastrophes have occurred in the gulf coast
region. The loss of life and destruction of property from
hurricanes, tropical storms, heat-waves, droughts, and flooding
in this region have cost taxpayers approximately
$652,000,000,000. NOAA's own research shows that the Southeast
experiences more severe weather events than any other part of
the country--yet, federally funded climate and weather research
in the region has lagged. The Committee notes this glaring void
and encourages NOAA to work with Southeastern universities in
establishing the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Southeast
Weather and Hydrology. This coordinated effort will provide
researchers a better understanding of the dynamics of weather
and hydrology in the region.

TITLE II
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
The Committee recommends a total of $27,385,286,000 for the
Department of Justice [DOJ]. The recommendation is
$1,297,665,000 above the fiscal year 2009 funding level,
excluding emergency supplemental appropriations, and
$311,376,000 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 Xcellerator 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 address 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.
Agent Benefits.--The Committee is concerned that the
Department of Justice does not provide comparable benefits to
Foreign Service employees for DOJ employees working abroad. The
Committee strongly believes that DOJ employees serving abroad
in appropriately designated areas should receive the same pay,
benefits, and compensation as other Foreign Service employees
from other agencies. The Committee is also concerned about the
continuing failure by the Department to address the practice of
penalizing employees stationed abroad by denying them locality
pay. This denial not only affects their paychecks but has long
term negative consequences on their retirement calculations.
The Committee directs the Department to address this and any
other potentially related compensatory concerns immediately,
and to submit a report to the Senate Committee on
Appropriations not later than 90 days after enactment of this
act which details what the Department has done to address this
inequity. The Committee notes this report was required to be
submitted by June 9, 2009 and the Department has failed to
submit it.
Indian Country Prosecutions.--The Committee is concerned
about the Department's refusal to disclose the rate of and
reasons for U.S. Attorneys [USAs] declining to prosecute some
of the most serious crimes on Indian Reservations. Based on
Department of Justice data, the Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs has found that the prosecution declination rate is
higher than 60 percent for the most serious crimes committed on
reservations. Therefore, the Committee directs the Attorney
General to report to the Committee on Appropriations of the
Senate and the Select Committee on Indian Affairs on the
declination rate of crimes committed on reservations from
fiscal years 2008 and 2009, as well as the reasons for
declining to bring prosecutions. The report shall include a
discussion of the USA's criteria for determining when to bring
a prosecution on Indian Country, including how it compares to
the prosecution practices elsewhere in the United States and
its contiguous territories. The Committee further directs that
this report be completed no later than 180 days after enactment
of this act.

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $105,805,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 178,488,000
House allowance......................................... 115,988,000
Committee recommendation................................ 118,488,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $118,488,000 for
General Administration salaries and expenses. The
recommendation is $12,683,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and $60,000,000 below the budget request.

$28,617,000 below the budget request.
Cyber Security.--The Committee's recommendation includes
$27,439,0000 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. The Committee urges the
Department to exercise discretion in testing cyber security
protections to ensure that all relevant players have been
alerted to the timing of these tests and to minimize any
potential negative impact on DOJ employees.

Budget estimate, 2010................................... 205,143,000
House allowance......................................... 205,143,000
Committee recommendation................................ 206,143,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $206,143,000 for
Tactical Law Enforcement Wireless Communications. The
recommendation is $21,143,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level and $1,000,000 above 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 Committee recommendation provides
$21,143,000 within this account for the Integrated Wireless
Network [IWN].
The request for IWN does not sufficiently address the
Department's communications deficiencies and will contribute to
the ongoing delays in the nationwide deployment of their
consolidated 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/upgrade aging/failing systems along the
Southwest border and in other areas of the country.
Consistent with direction in the explanatory statement
accompanying Public Law 111-8, all funds for IWN should be
spent on modernization and improvement of land mobile [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 set specific and
detailed performance milestones for the use of IWN funds,
including dates for planned completion. These milestones should
be reported to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations within 60 days of the enactment of this act, and
quarterly updates should be provided on the Department's
progress in meeting those milestones. 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 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, 2009.................................... $270,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 300,685,000
House allowance......................................... 300,685,000
Committee recommendation................................ 300,685,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $300,685,000 for
Administrative Review and Appeals. The recommendation is
$30,685,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal
to 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.
Personnel and Infrastructure Increases.--The Committee
recommendation includes $24,253,000 for personnel and
infrastructure investments needed to efficiently process an
increasing immigration adjudication caseload. Of this total,
$10,250,000 is for the eWorld document management system to
improve EOIR's ability to store, distribute and archive its
files.

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 report 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 that are associated with
them.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriations, 2009.................................... \1\$805,655,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 875,097,000
House allowance......................................... 875,097,000

\1\Including $1,648,000 in supplemental funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $875,097,000 for
General Legal Activities salaries and expenses. The
recommendation is $71,090,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level, not including supplemental funding, and equal to

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, and Interpol.
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 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 restore its
base capacity to enforce civil rights laws; expand its capacity
to prosecute and provide litigation support for human
trafficking and unsolved civil rights era crimes; carry 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 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 Criminal
Division to increase efforts to investigate and prosecute
serious human rights crimes committed by these foreign
nationals, including genocide, torture, use or recruitment of
child soldiers, and war crimes and other offenses committed by
serious human rights violators. Within the available funds the
Committee directs that $1,800,000 be allocated for attorneys,
analysts, and support personnel in the Criminal Division.
Pursuant to Public Law 111-8, the Department was required to
hire an additional 10 attorneys, 6 analysts, and associated
personnel to investigate and prosecute individuals who violate
Federal laws on serious human rights abuses. The Committee is
frustrated that the Department has still not hired requisite
personnel for this important mission and directs the Department
to submit to the Committee within 60 days of enactment of this
act a report detailing what steps the Department has taken to
hire requisite personnel to investigate and prosecute serious
human rights crimes, including but not limited to criminal
statutes on genocide, torture, use of child soldiers, and war
crimes.

request.
This account supports the Executive Office for U.S.
Attorneys [EOUSA] and the 94 U.S. Attorneys headquarters
offices throughout the United States and its territories. The
U.S. Attorneys [USAs] serve as the principal litigators for the
U.S. Government for criminal and civil matters. As in past
years, the Committee directs the U.S. Attorneys 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 $36,980,000 shall be available for this
purpose in fiscal year 2010.
Southwest Border Enforcement.--Within the funds provided,
the Committee includes the requested programmatic increase of
$8,127,000 and 75 positions to strengthen prosecutions of
criminal enterprises, including human, drug, and weapon

Office of U.S. Attorneys, 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 victim
service organizations, in order to better serve the victims of
human trafficking and slavery.

investments in U.S. securities, resulting in a direct
appropriation of $9,488,000.
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 2010, the U.S.
Trustee Program will participate in an estimated 1.5 million
business and consumer bankruptcy case filings. To carry out its
duties in these cases under the Bankruptcy Code (title 11) and
title 28 of the United States Code, the U.S. Trustee Program is
organized into three levels: the Executive Office for United
States Trustees in Washington, DC; United States Trustees in 21

well as witness and informant protection.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $9,873,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 11,479,000
House allowance......................................... 11,479,000
Committee recommendation................................ 11,479,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $11,479,000 for the
Community Relations Service. The recommendation is $1,606,000
above the fiscal year 2009 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 partner with law enforcement agencies and
communities in conflict, resulting from the investigation of
unsolved civil rights era 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, 2009.................................... $20,990,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 20,990,000
House allowance......................................... 20,990,000
Committee recommendation................................ 20,990,000

Assets Forfeiture Fund. The recommendation is equal to the
fiscal year 2009 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, 2009.................................... \1\$964,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,138,388,000
House allowance......................................... 1,138,388,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,125,763,000
\1\Including $10,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $1,125,763,000 for
the U.S. Marshals Service [USMS] salaries and expenses. The
recommendation is $175,763,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level, not including supplemental funding, and
$12,625,000 below the budget request because the difference is
provided in the USMS construction account.
The core missions of the USMS include 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 $453,023,000 for judicial and courthouse
security. The recommendation is $69,575,000 above the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level and equal to the budget request.
Immigration Enforcement.--The Committee strongly supports
the U.S. Marshal 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 Committee commends the
U.S. Marshals Service for annualizing $15,812,000 of prior year
supplemental funds into its 2010 budget request for enforcement
of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. The
Committee is deeply concerned that the administration has
failed to request any additional resources to expand this
program beyond the current level of effort. To fulfill its Adam
Walsh Act responsibilities, the U.S. Marshals Service requires
funding to hire and equip at least 500 new Deputy Marshals over
the next 3 to 5 years. The Committee recommendation includes an
increase of $35,000,000 to expand Adam Walsh enforcement
activities in districts across the country. This funding will
also help establish 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 Marshals Service, 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, 2009.................................... $4,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 14,000,000
House allowance......................................... 14,000,000
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. Included in this
recommendation for USMS construction is $12,625,000 that the
administration requested in the Salaries and Expenses account.
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, 2009.................................... \1\$85,178,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 87,938,000
House allowance......................................... 87,938,000
Committee recommendation................................ 87,938,000
\1\Including $1,389,000 in supplemental appropriation funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $87,938,000 for the
National Security Division [NSD]. The recommendation is
$4,149,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not
including supplemental funding 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, 2009.................................... $515,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 537,507,000
House allowance......................................... 528,569,000
Committee recommendation................................ 515,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $515,000,000 for
Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement. The recommendation is
equal to the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $22,507,000
below the budget request.
The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement Account funds
the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Forces [OCDETF].
This program was created in 1982 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. Through its nine 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.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2009...................................\1\$7,182,700,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 7,718,741,000
House allowance......................................... 7,718,741,000
Committee recommendation................................ 7,668,622,000
\1\Includes $117,600,000 in supplemental appropriation funding (Public
Law 110-252).
The Committee's recommendation provides $7,668,622,000 for
the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] salaries and
expenses. The recommendation is $520,922,000 above the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level, not including supplemental funding,
and $50,119,000 below the budget request because the Committee
provided $72,119,000 in the FBI Construction account.
Five-Year Budget.--The Committee understands that the FBI's
fiscal year 2010 budget request was originally formulated under
a 5-year budget development process, but is concerned that it
was not adopted by the administration. 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 an additional $22,000,000 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 $140,311,000 for this effort,
which includes an additional 260 positions and $61,180,000 to
further the FBI's investigatory, intelligence gathering, and
technological capabilities.
Overseas Contingency Operations.--The Committee's
recommendation includes $101,066,000, as requested, for the
annualization of the FBI's terrorism supplemental funds.
Records Management.--The Committee's recommendation
includes requested funding to continue records indexing and
other preparations to make FBI's case and administrative files
universally searchable and accessible, and to ensure that they
are useful intelligence and investigative tools.
Workforce Distribution.--The Committee notes that the FBI's
staffing levels have increased since 2001 and will increase
again in fiscal year 2010. While the FBI has undergone a major
reorganization of its mission priorities, the Committee is
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.--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 $4,170,054,000 in base funding and
$268,946,000 in enhancements for national security initiatives,
including $198,302,000 for domain and operations, $45,531,000
for surveillance, and $25,113,000 for strengthening the FBI
workforce.
Criminal Justice Information Services Division.--The
Committee recommendation provides $651,000,000 including fee
collections for the Criminal Justice Information Services
Division [CJIS], including $285,000,000 in appropriated funds
and $366,000,000 in user fees.
Biometrics.--The FBI is uniquely situated to take a
significant role in the expanding field of biometrics. Already,
the FBI is a leader in using fingerprint and DNA identification
for forensic purposes. The FBI's Biometrics Technology Center
will allow the FBI to standardize and effectively implement
emerging biometric tools and services for the law enforcement
community. Therefore, the Committee includes bill language to
permit the FBI to transfer up to $30,000,000 in prior year user
fees from the Salaries and Expenses account to the Construction
account for the facility, if determined necessary by the FBI
Director. In addition, the Committee directs that $23,000,000
in prior year user fee collections be made available for
information technology equipment and infrastructure that is
necessary for the facility.
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, war crimes, and other offenses committed by
serious human rights violators. The Committee directs, within
available funds, $1,500,000 for the establishment of a human
rights unit at FBI headquarters, staffed by 10 agents and
associated support personnel, to detect, investigate, and
support the criminal prosecution of individuals who violate the
Federal laws on serious human rights crimes, including but not
limited to criminal statutes on child solider recruitment and
use, genocide, torture, and war crimes.
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 $46,315,000 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 Emmitt Till Unsolved Civil Right Act.
Critical Infrastructure.--The Committee is 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 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 $52,723,000 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.
Innocence Lost Initiative.--Every day children are being
recruited and forced into child prostitution. Child victims are
not voluntary participants; rather they are modern-day slaves
forced into commercial sex abuse. 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 575 children, and led to the conviction of
more than 300 child exploiters. The Committee applauds these
efforts and provides $5,000,000 to hire an additional 10 agents
for the Innocence Lost Initiative.
Mortgage Fraud.--The sub-prime mortgage crisis threatens
the Nation's economic security. Suspicious Activity Reports
filed by various financial institutions increased almost 200
percent within the last 3 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
$25,491,000 increase to hire 50 new agents to augment the
current positions conducting mortgage fraud investigations.
Retention and Relocation Bonuses.--The Committee is aware
of continuing concerns about annuity losses and relocation
costs associated with the implementation of the Field Office
Supervisory Term Limit policy. In light of such concerns, and
difficulties in filling leadership positions at the field
supervisor level, the FBI revised the policy in December 2008
to extend term limit from 5 to 7 years. Title V of this bill
continues, and makes permanent, retention and relocation bonus
authorities provided to the FBI under 5 U.S.C. 5759. The
Committee encourages the Bureau to use these authorities to
provide appropriated compensation to agents who were relocated
to high-cost areas or have been otherwise negatively affected
by the implementation of the Field Office Supervisory Term
Limit policy.

Appropriations, 2009.................................... $153,491,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 142,796,000
House allowance......................................... 132,796,000
Committee recommendation................................ 244,915,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $244,915,000 for
Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] construction. The
recommendation is $91,424,000 above the fiscal year 2009
funding level and $102,119,000 above the budget request.
Included in this recommendation for FBI construction is
$72,119,000 that the administration requested in the Salaries
and Expenses account for Sensitive Compartmented Information
Facilities [SCIFs].
Biometrics Technology Center.--The Committee recommendation
includes $97,600,009, as requested. The FBI's Biometrics
Technology Center [BTC] is a joint biometrics facility that
will house both the FBI Biometrics Center of Excellence and the
DOD's Biometrics Fusion Center. The FBI is currently working
with DOD in theater to collect and search biometrics
information. This effort has shown the critical role emerging
biometric technology has played in the war on terror, and as of
March 2009, 2,400 known or suspected terrorists have been
identified; over 75 high value identifications have been made;
and over 30 improvised explosive devices [IED] makers have been
identified.
FBI Academy.--The Committee's recommendation provides
$10,000,000, for an Architectural and Engineering study to help
determine the full scope of renovations/construction necessary
for the FBI Academy. 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.
Terrorist Explosive Devices Analytical Center [TEDAC].--
TEDAC is a multi-agency center that enables a unified effort by
law enforcement, intelligence, and military assets to
technically and forensically exploit IEDs of interest to the
U.S. Government world-wide in order to provide actionable
intelligence to the offensive missions against terrorists and
to support force protection. The inability to process and
exploit devices on a timely basis prevents TEDAC and the FBI
from producing and disseminating intelligence information to
U.S. warfighters in theater, as well as U.S., State, local, and
tribal law enforcement engaged in protecting the homeland.
Without an increased capacity for the timely exploitation of
devices, appropriate counter IED strategies and technologies
cannot be developed to prevent and disrupt the use of these
devices against U.S. personnel overseas and on U.S. territory.
Therefore, the Committee provides an additional $30,000,000 for
continued construction of a new TEDAC facility.
Drug Enforcement Administration
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2009...................................\1\$1,959,084,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 2,014,682,000
House allowance......................................... 2,019,682,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,014,682,000
\1\Including $20,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $2,014,682,000 for
the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA]. The recommendation
is $75,598,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not
including supplemental funding, and equal to the budget
request. The recommendation provides $251,790,000 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.
Diversion Control Program.--Full funding of $251,790,000 is
provided for the Diversion Control program, which is an
increase of $2,706,000 for expanded forensic support of
diversion cases and is fully offset with fee collections.
Southwest Border Enforcement.--The Committee's
recommendation includes an increase of $24,075,000 in support
of DEA's enforcement efforts along the Southwest border. 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.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2009...................................\1\$1,068,215,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 1,114,772,000
House allowance......................................... 1,105,772,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,114,772,000
\1\Including $14,000,000 in supplemental appropriation funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $1,114,772,000 for
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [ATF].
The recommendation is $60,557,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level, not including supplemental funding, 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.
Southwest Border Enforcement.--The Committee recommendation
provides for the full request of $61,016,000 for ATF's efforts
to combat weapon trafficking on the border. This includes a
$17,989,000 increase in support of ATF's Project Gunrunner.
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 work 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 2010 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.

The Committee recommendation fully funds the request of
$6,000,000 to complete Phase Two of the National Center for
Explosives Research and Training [NCETR]. NCETR will further
advance Federal, State and local government agencies to develop
and maintain adequate domestic preparedness. The NCETR will
also afford first responder, bomb technicians and investigators
the training necessary to complete thorough and effective post-
blast investigations.
Federal Prison System
The Committee recommendation provides a total of
$6,079,831,000 for the Federal Prison System, or Bureau of
Prisons [BOP]. The recommendation is $94,614,000 below the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including supplemental
funding, and equal to the budget request.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 210,000 by the end of fiscal
year 2010. Correspondingly, the overcrowding rate is projected
to rise to 38 percent in 2010, up from 37 percent in 2009.
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.
Although Congress provided an additional $160,000,000 above
the request for fiscal year 2009, BOP used those additional
funds to meet basic operational needs of its facilities, and
plans no net increase in staffing in fiscal year 2009 to begin
to address its understaffing problem. The Committee is
extremely concerned that the proposed budget for fiscal year
2010 would once again not permit BOP to manage the basic
operational needs of its prisons.
Sexual Misconduct.--The Committee commends the BOP on its
work to address and prevent 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.
Activations and Expansions.--The Committee expects BOP to
adhere to the activation schedule included in BOP's budget
submission. BOP shall notify the Senate Committee on
Appropriations of any deviations to this schedule.
Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary.--The
Committee recognizes the importance of ensuring that the
Administrative Maximum United States Penitentiary [ADX], also
known as ``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 indentified
by the U.S. Census Bureau in the reporting of inmate address
information, the Committee encourages 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 $13,778,000 and 61 FTE for
ISD and other Second Chance Act activities as proposed by the
Department. The Committee notes, however, BOP has indicated
that approximately $80,000,000 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 2011 budget request.
BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $575,807,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 96,744,000

Committee recommendation................................ 99,155,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $99,155,000 for the
construction, modernization, maintenance, and repair of prison
and detention facilities housing Federal prisoners. The
recommendation is $476,652,000 below the fiscal year 2009
enacted level, excluding emergency supplemental appropriations,
and $2,411,000 above the budget request.
The Committee recommendation provides for $73,769,000 for
modernization and repairs.
The Committee's recommendation includes $25,386,000 for new
construction to enable the Bureau of Prisons to reduce the
backlog of new construction projects. Although BOP plans to
activate four new prisons in 2014 (FCI Midwestern/Leavenworth,
Kansas; USP South Central/Forrest City, Arkansas; USP El Reno
(Western); USP Bennettsville, South Carolina), it will be
unable to maintain that schedule without a significant new
construction appropriation by fiscal year 2011. The Committee
notes, however, that even if BOP stays on track in activating
planned new prisons, it will add approximately 13,000 new beds
between 2010 and 2014 at the same time the BOP population is
expected to grow by 22,500. The Committee expects the
Department to ensure that the fiscal year 2011 budget proposal
for BOP contains sufficient resources to at least stay on track
with its current plan to activate new prisons, and for BOP to
address its M&R backlog.

Committee recommendation................................ 435,000,000
\1\Includes $225,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $435,000,000 for
Office on Violence Against Women [OVW] grants. The
recommendation is $20,000,000 above fiscal year 2009 enacted
level, excluding funds provided in the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111-5), and $21,000,000 above the
budget request. As in fiscal year 2009, 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 15 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.
The Committee recognizes the often underlying connections
between domestic violence and a variety of related social ills,
including youth violence, homelessness and substance abuse. The
Committee believes that Violence Against Women Act programs not
only provide critical services to victims fleeing from life-
threatening violence but also addresses these costly social
problems.
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 Committee encourages the Department of Justice to work
together with the Office on Violence Against Women to address
the intersection of domestic violence and sexual assault with
crimes such as gang violence, child abuse and trafficking. This
collaboration would save money across sectors by preventing
many of these crimes.
The most recent VAWA reauthorization included a new
emphasis on prevention and early intervention programs to stop
violence before it begins or becomes life-threatening. The
Committee recommends funding for several evidence-based
programs to prevent domestic and sexual violence, including
providing services for children who have been exposed to family
violence and working with men and youths to change attitudes
that support or condone violence.
The table below displays the Committee recommendations for
the programs under this office.

STOP Grants.--Within the funds appropriated, $200,000,000
is for general formula grants to the States. The fiscal year
2010 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 $15,000,000 to directly funds 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 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. These agencies' ability to serve the needs of
victims has been hampered by a significant lack of resources.
SASP addresses this lack of resources and meets the distinct
need to strengthen the continuum of intervention responses to
sexual assault victims, their families and the community.
Congress is firmly committed 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.
Addressing Violence Against Native Women.--Recent research
has called attention to the dire needs of Indian tribes to
address violence against Native women. The lack of a tribal
order or protection and sex offender registry prevents Indian
tribes from accessing and sharing this life-saving information.
While American Indian women are victimized at more than double
the rate of any other population of women in the United States,
not a single comprehensive study of rates of violence has been
conducted. The Committee recognizes this and includes funding
to conduct research to help document the extent and nature of
violence against Native women and to establish a tribal
registry to enhance enforcement of tribal protection orders and
monitoring of sex offenders.
Services for Children and Youth.--As many as 10 million
children a year witness violence in the home, and according to
the Department of Justice girls and young women ages 16 to 24
experience the highest rates of intimate partner violence.
Recognizing the need to intervene early in this cycle of abuse
and prevent future violence, the Committee is funding two new
programs that support services for young people exposed to
violence in the home and teens experiencing violence in their
own relationships.
Management and Administration.--The Committee recommends
maintaining the salaries and expenses account structure
established in the fiscal year 2009 enacted law to fund the
management and administrative costs of OVW and other Justice
Department grant programs. No administrative overhead costs
shall be deducted from the programs funded from this account.
Office of Justice Programs
Management and Administration.--The Committee recommends
maintaining the salaries and expenses account structure
established in the fiscal year 2009 enacted law to fund the
management and administrative costs of Office of Justice
Programs [OJP] and other Justice Department grant programs. No
administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the
programs funded from this account.

Committee recommendation................................ 215,000,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $215,000,000 for
Justice Assistance. The recommendation is equal to the fiscal
year 2009 enacted level and $10,000,000 below the budget
request.
The Justice Assistance program provides support to State
and local law enforcement. Funding in this account provides for
assistance in the form of research, evaluation, statistics,
regional information sharing, programs to assist the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and victim
notification assistance.

National Institute of Justice [NIJ].--The Committee's
recommendation provides $48,000,000 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 directs that prior to the obligation of any funds,
NIJ submit a spend plan on how resources will be allocated.
DNA and Forensics Initiative.--Within amounts provided for
the NIJ, the Committee recommends $5,000,000 to assist with
forensics and DNA. Within the amounts provided, OJP shall
transfer $1,000,000 to support the continuation of the
development of standards and standard reference materials at
the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST]
Office of Law Enforcement Standards [OLES], to maintain quality
and proficiency within Federal, State, and local crime
laboratory facilities.
Office of Science and Technology [OS&T].--The Committee
continues to support the efforts of the leadership of the NIJ's
OS&T and the continuing partnership that OS&T has developed
with the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST].
To implement the mission of OS&T, the Committee recommends
$25,000,000 for OS&T.
Victim Notification.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $12,000,000 for the Bureau of Justice Assistance [BJA]
to continue the State Automated Victim Notification grant
program to allow States to join the National Victim
Notification Network. No funding may be utilized from within
the Victims Assistance Program for this initiative and funds
provided under this heading shall require a 50 percent match
from State, local, and private sources.
Regional Information Sharing System.--The Committee's
recommendation provides $45,000,000 for the Regional
Information Sharing System [RISS]. The Committee supports RISS
and its role in implementing the National Criminal Intelligence
Sharing Plan. The RISS program maintains six regionally based
information networks that provide for the automated exchange of
crime and terrorism information between Federal, State, and
local agencies.
Missing Children Program.--The issue of child abduction and
exploitation today is part of the national conscience due to
the numerous child pornography and missing children cases. 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 run by the BJA. The
Committee recommends $70,000,000 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 funding recommendations for the Missing and Exploited
Children Program are displayed in the following table:

The Committee's recommendation provides $1,159,000,000 for
State and local law enforcement assistance. The recommendation
is $169,500,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level,
excluding supplemental appropriations and funds provided in the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111-5), and
$431,000,000 above the budget request.

Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants.--The Committee is
concerned that the September 30, 2008, expiration of the crime
reporting ``transition rule,'' established by 42 U.S.C.
3755(d)(2)(B), has resulted in approximately 1,000 communities
falling out of eligibility for Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grants [Byrne-JAG] direct local awards. A number of
these communities have high crime rates and were unaware that,
effective October 1, 2008, compliance with State crime
reporting requirements no longer ensured compliance with Byrne-
JAG reporting requirements. The Committee encourages these
communities to come into compliance with current Byrne-JAG
reporting requirements and directs the Department of Justice to
collect, process, and validate this information as
expeditiously as possible in order to ensure fiscal year 2010
eligibility.
Nationwide Pegasus Program.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $10,000,000 to support the Nationwide Pegasus Program
to bring information exchange capability to rural areas.
Nationwide information exchange capabilities for local law
enforcement and other essential frontline responders is a
critical need. Pegasus is a multistate, criminal justice
information-sharing program that fills that unmet critical need
for data exchanges between local-to-local law enforcement, and
across State boundaries and State and Federal agencies.
Capital Litigation.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $5,500,000 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.
SEARCH National Technical Assistance and Training
Program.--The Committee supports efforts to assist States, such
as West Virginia in the development and use of information
through criminal justice information systems to accelerate the
automation of their fingerprints identification processes and
criminal justice data identification processes so that State
and local law enforcement which are compatible 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.
Edward Byrne Discretionary Grants.--The Committee
recommendation provides $178,500,000 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. Of the
total, $8,000,000 is for OJP's Office of Sex Offender
Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking
[SMART] activities to help with implementation of requirements
under the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006
(Public Law 109-248). Within 90 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
recommendation provides $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 Initiative.--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
$40,000,000 for the Drug Court program to fully fund the
authorized level. Drug courts greatly improve substance abuse
treatment outcomes, substantially reduce crime, and produce
significant societal benefits. The Committee notes that a new
study funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, conducted by
The Urban Institute's Justice Policy Center, ``To Treat or Not
to Treat: Evidence on the Prospects of Expanding Treatment to
Drug-Involved Offenders,'' found that drug courts yield a
substantial reduction in crime and more than $1,000,000,000 of
annual cost savings. The Committee is concerned that the while
the study found that there are 1.47 million 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 this the Drug Court
Program to scale and effectively address this population.
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. A 2002 study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics
estimated more than two-thirds of individuals released from
prisons in 1994 were rearrested for a new offense within 3
years and more than 50 percent returned for committing new
crimes or for violating their conditions of supervision. And at
least 95 percent of the individuals now in prison will be
released and will return to communities, often without
assistance or services.
According to the Department of Justice, 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 the commission of a new
crime or violation of 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.
Adult and Juvenile Offender State and Local Re-entry
Demonstration.--The Second Chance Act re-authorizes the Adult
and Juvenile Offender State and Local Re-entry Demonstration
Projects (sec. 101) to help States and communities test ways to
reduce recidivism and address the alarming recidivism rates
nationwide. The demonstration projects will provide grants to
States and local governments that may be used to promote the
safe and successful reintegration into the community of
individuals who have been incarcerated. The Committee
recognizes that State and local governments buckling under the
pressure of unprecedented growth in jail and prison
populations, and therefore provides $25,000,000 for this
important program to ensure public safety through initiatives
geared at returning offenders.
Mentoring Grants.--The Second Chance Act authorizes the
Prisoner Re-entry Mentoring (sec. 211) grants to allow
community and faith-based groups to recruit, train and match
returning inmates with mentors. Having a mentor often means the
difference between success and failure for inmates during their
first, difficult days of transition from incarceration to
freedom. The grants to nonprofit organizations may also be used
for transitional services for re-integration into the
community.
Mentoring programs have been proven to significantly reduce
recidivism. The grants to nonprofit organizations for mentoring
and transitional services are a key element in reducing
recidivism rates nationwide. For this initiative, the Committee
recommendation provides $15,000,000.
Grants for Family Based Substance Abuse Treatment.--The
Second Chance Act authorizes family based substance abuse
treatment grants (sec. 113). For this purpose, the Committee
recommendation provides $5,000,000 for grants to develop,
implement, and expand comprehensive and clinically appropriate
family based substance abuse treatment programs as alternatives
to incarceration for nonviolent parent drug offenders. Funds
may also be used to provide prison-based family treatment
programs for incarcerated parents of minor children.

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 $407,000,000 for
juvenile justice programs. The recommendation is $33,000,000
above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $90,000,000 above
the budget request.

Juvenile Justice Summary.--Established in 1974 and most
recently authorized in 2002 with bipartisan support, the
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act [JJDPA]--
together with the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant [JABG]--
embodies a partnership between the Federal Government and the
States, territories and the District of Columbia to protect
children and youth in the juvenile and criminal justice system,
to effectively address high-risk and delinquent behavior, and
to improve community safety. Recent adolescent brain
development research demonstrating the importance of the teen
years in the establishment of an individual's ``executive
functions'' (decisionmaking, understanding consequences,
planning, and impulse control), coupled with strong data from
evaluations of effective prevention and intervention
approaches, reveal the critical importance of these Federal
investments in shaping the lives of millions of at-risk youth
and enhancing the safety of our neighborhoods.
Title II, Part B of the JJDPA: State Formula Grants
Program.--Through this program, OJJDP provides funds directly
to States, territories, and the District of Columbia to help
them to support increased availability of effective prevention
and intervention programs, to implement comprehensive State
juvenile justice plans based on detailed studies of needs in
their jurisdictions, as well as to implement juvenile justice
system improvements to achieve compliance with the core
requirements of the JJDPA. For example, State formula grants
have supported Multisystemic Therapy, shown to cut rates of
juvenile offender rearrests in half.
Safe Start Initiative.--Within the amounts provided for
part B State formula grants, the Committee recommends
$5,000,000 for the Safe Start Initiative, which prevents and
reduces the impact of children's exposure to violence in both
the home and the community. The goal of the Safe Start
Initiative is to broaden the knowledge of and promote community
investment in evidence-based strategies for reducing the impact
of children's exposure to violence. The Department had proposed
funding for this through the Office on Violence Against Women.
Title V of the JJPDA: Grants for Local Delinquency
Prevention Programs.--Commonly known as the Community
Prevention Grants Program, title V funds collaborative,
community-based delinquency prevention efforts to reach youth
in high-risk situations. For example, a study compared five
housing projects without community based programs to reach
youth to five receiving these programs. At the beginning, drug
activity and vandalism were the same. But by the time the study
ended, the projects without the programs had 50 percent more
vandalism and scored 37 percent worse on drug activity.
Juvenile Accountability Block Grant [JABG].--JABG provides
States and units of local government with funds to develop
programs to promote greater accountability in the juvenile
justice system, including building, expanding, and operating
juvenile facilities; training correctional personnel, hiring
additional judges, prosecutors, probation officers, and court-
appointed defenders; and funding pre-trial services for
juveniles. The purpose areas of JABG were expanded
significantly under the 2002 and 2005 reauthorizations to
provide for: graduated sanctions programs that include
counseling, restitution, community service, and supervised
probation; more substance abuse programs; mental health
screening and treatment; restorative justice programs; gang
prevention; anti-bullying initiatives; and offender re-entry
approaches.
Part G of the JJDPA: Juvenile Mentoring.--Juvenile
Mentoring enables communities to run high-quality mentoring
programs. For example, a study of a national juvenile mentoring
program found that those in the program were one-half as likely
to begin illegal drug use and nearly one-third less likely to
hit someone compared to those who were randomly assigned to a
waiting list.
Funding for OJJDP.--Authorized under title II, part A of
the JJDPA, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention [OJJDP], a component of the U.S. Department of
Justice's Office of Justice Programs, supports States and
communities in their efforts to develop and implement effective
and coordinated prevention and intervention programs and to
improve the juvenile justice system in order to enhance public
safety, prevent delinquency, protect children and provide
treatment and rehabilitative services tailored to the needs of
juveniles and their families. OJJDP provides for training,
technical assistance, research, and evaluation to identify
``what works'' and to disseminate that information widely to
State and local program personnel.
Discretionary Grants.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $82,000,000 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 90 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.
Gang Education Initiative.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $10,000,000 for an anti-gang education 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 $25,000,000 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
Child Advocacy Centers Programs. The Regional Children's
Advocacy Centers [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 [NCA] 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.

Budget estimate, 2010................................... 70,100,000
House allowance......................................... 70,100,000
Committee recommendation................................ 70,100,000
The Committee's recommendation provides $70,100,000 for
public safety officers benefits. The recommendation is
$49,000,000 below the fiscal year 2009 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
$9,100,000, 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
Appropriations, 2009...................................\1\$1,550,500,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 761,000,000
House allowance......................................... 807,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 658,500,000
\1\Includes $1,000,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $658,500,000 for
community oriented policing services. The recommendation is
$108,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not
including supplemental funding and $102,500,000 below 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.--The Committee's
recommendation provides for $10,000,000 for COPS to provide
Training and Technical Assistance to assist agencies with
developing innovative community policing strategies through
applied research and evaluation initiatives.
Bulletproof Vests.--The Committee's recommendation provides
$30,000,000 for COPS testing of bulletproof vests. Of the
amount provided $1,500,000 is for the National Institute of
Standards and Technology's [NIST] Office of Law Enforcement
Standards [OLES] to continue supporting the ballistic and stab-
resistant material compliance testing programs, as well as for
other technical support related to public safety weapons and
protective systems.
Tribal Law Enforcement.--The Committee's recommendation
provides $20,000,000 for tribal law enforcement efforts, which
is the same as the budget request. The recommendation combines
funds in this heading with funds previously appropriated under
State and Local Law Assistance. These funds may be used for
training, hiring equipment, court improvement projects, and
alcohol and substance abuse reduction programs.
COPS Technology.--The Committee's recommendation provides
$187,000,000 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,
these funds should be used to support the development and
implementation of a compliance assessment program to ensure
that communications equipment purchased through this grant
program is compliant, where applicable with existing standards.
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, the COPS program
office shall fund the following congressionally designated
projects:

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 $39,500,000 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 includes $5,000,000 to reimburse the
Drug Enforcement Administration 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.
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:

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.
Child Sexual Predator Elimination.--The Committee's
recommendation provides $20,000,000 for a national initiative
to provide grants to State and local governments to locate,
arrest and prosecute sexual predators. The Committee recommends
the appointment of an Assistant U.S. Attorney and a deputy U.S.
Marshal in each judicial district to act as coordinators to
prepare a comprehensive, district-wide strategy in consultation
with social services providers and partners from Federal, State
and local law enforcement agencies. The Committee directs the
COPS office to coordinate with the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children in developing a program that includes
detection, apprehension, and prosecution of sex offenders who
victimize children. The Committee believes it is essential to
build specialized units in law enforcement agencies across the
country to attack this problem in a concerted, coordinated
manner. The grants should assist State and local law
enforcement entities to specifically focus on sexual predators
who fail to register, child sexual exploitation and sex
offenders who prey upon children. These predator units should
be created in a manner that is geographically balanced and
levels itself to testing the model in various settings; and in
major urban police departments, State law enforcement agencies,
smaller jurisdictions, and regional groupings of agencies. The
Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation
of Children Today Act of 2003, Public Law 108-21 authorized
grants for Sex Offender Apprehension Programs.
Management and Administration.--The Committee recommends
maintaining the salaries and expenses account structure
established in the fiscal year 2009 enacted law to fund the
management and administrative costs of COPS and other Justice
Department grant programs. No administrative overhead costs
shall be deducted from the programs funded from this account.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations 2009..................................... \1\$205,000,000

Committee recommendation................................ 200,000,000
\1\Includes $10,000,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(Public Law 111-5).
To achieve greater transparency, efficiency, and
accountability in the management, administration and oversight
of grant programs administered by the Department of Justice,
Congress established a new salaries and expenses account for
fiscal year 2009 within State and Local Law Enforcement
Activities to fund the management and administrative costs of
the Department's grant programs. A total of $200,000,000 is
provided for salaries and expenses for Department of Justice
grant programs in fiscal year 2010, including $125,830,000 for
the Office of Justice Programs [OJP]; $37,462,000 for the
Office of Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS]; and
$15,708,000 for the Office on Violence Against Women [OVW].
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.
Training and technical assistance [T&TA], research and
statistics activities performed by OJP, OVW, and COPS, or
through interagency agreements or under contract for OJP, OVW,
and COPS, may be supported with program funds, subject to the
submission of details related to these costs in the
Department's fiscal year 2010 spending plan.
Within the funds provided, $21,000,000 is made available to
the Office of Audit, Assessment, and Management [OAAM]. The
Committee expects OAAM to continue to develop its capacity to
evaluate, in coordination with the National Institute of
Justice, the effectiveness of programs and projects funded by
OJP, OVW, and COPS, using rigorous research and evaluation
methods that generate valid evidence on the effectiveness of
crime prevention strategies.
General Provisions--Department of Justice
The Committee recommends the following general provisions:
Section 201 limits the amount of funding the Attorney

Budget estimate, 2010................................... 6,154,000
House allowance......................................... 7,154,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,154,000
The Committee recommendation provides $6,154,0000. The
recommendation is $851,000 above the fiscal year 2009 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.

Appropriations, 2009..................................\1\$18,784,385,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 18,686,000,000
House allowance......................................... 18,203,300,000
Committee recommendation................................ 18,686,000,000
\1\Includes $1,002,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $18,686,000,000 for
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA]. The
recommendation is $903,615,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level, not including American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act funding, 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.
America recently celebrated many important milestones of
its space program: the 50th anniversary of NASA's creation, the
25th anniversary of the first American woman in space, Dr.
Sally Ride, and the 19th anniversary of the Hubble Space
Telescope. Unfortunately, NASA is also celebrating a more
dubious occasion, the 19th year that NASA's acquisition
management has been on the Government Accountability Office's
[GAO] ``high risk'' list. The Agency's acquisition management
has been on the list since 1990 in such company as Medicare,
Department of Defense weapons system acquisition, and
enforcement of tax laws. Furthermore, since 2006, 10 of 12
major NASA projects in development, or 83 percent, have
exceeded baseline cost and schedules. The 2010 budget request
includes notification that three more projects have exceeded
their baseline budgets by more than 15 percent and five more
missions have experienced launch delay of 6 months or more.
The GAO reports that NASA is making progress in
strengthening financial management, including better cost
estimates and higher standards of accountability for
contractors. However, more than 90 percent of NASA's funding is
awarded by contracts. The Committee is very troubled by an
emerging pattern of NASA's contract awards being protested in
increasing numbers--according to the GAO, NASA has experienced
a 50 percent increase in bid protests over the last 3 years.
In order for taxpayers and Congress to have confidence in
NASA's acquisition process, the Committee directs NASA to
report within 60 days of enactment of this act on actions the
Agency will take to improve financial management and to ensure
integrity of the procurement process. The report shall include
systematic steps to reduce cost overruns and schedule
slippages, as well as milestones and timetables. Furthermore,
the report shall include an analysis of the recent increase in
bid protests, as well as a determination if the creation of a
senior procurement officer position at NASA to oversee Agency-
wide procurement could help improve the integrity of the
process.
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.

\1\Includes $400,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Science account encompasses four lines of study: Earth
Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and Astrophysics.
This funding seeks to answer fundamental questions concerning
the ways in which Earth's climate is changing; the comparison
of Earth with other planets in the solar system and around
other stars; the connections between the Sun and Earth; and the
origin and evolution of planetary systems, the galaxy, and the
universe, including the origin and distribution of life in the
universe. These objectives are achieved through robotic flight
missions, ground-based scientific research and data analysis,
and the development of new technologies for future missions.

Earth Science Decadal Survey Missions.--The Committee
supports the ongoing development of the Tier I missions, and
provides the full budget requests for the Soil Moisture Active
and Passive [SMAP] and the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation
Satellite [ICESat II] missions. The Committee is disappointed
that the request does not include funding for the Climate
Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory [CLARREO] or the
Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of the Ice
[DESDnyl] missions, which are also part of the Tier 1
recommendations. The National Academies recommended flying a
suite of these four missions concurrently to gather critical
information about the Earth and its climate. The Committee
strongly encourages NASA to realign priorities in future budget
requests to accelerate these missions to more closely match the
Academies' recommended schedule, while also supporting
development of Tier 2 and Tier 3 missions, as well as venture
class missions. The Committee provides the full budget request
of $135,100,000 for decadal-related projects and missions.
ICESat II Mission.--The Committee is aware that the Science
Definition Team [SDT] for the ICESat II mission determined that
the use of a photon-counting approach to provide cross-track
measurement capabilities is the preferred method of meeting the
objectives of the Earth Science Decadal Survey for this
mission. The Committee supports this approach to ensure the
highest level of accuracy in measuring ice melt; however, the
SDT did not assess its technical readiness level. The Committee
directs NASA to complete a technical readiness level
evaluation, and to report on options to implementing this
preferred approach without significantly increasing the cost,
or substantially delaying the launch, of the mission.
Heliophysics.--Within funds provided to advance scientific
knowledge of the Sun's impact on the Earth, the Committee
provides the full budget requirement of $118,600,000 for the
Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, as well as $50,000,000 for
the Solar Probe Mission. The Committee notes that the Solar
Probe mission is the highest priority recommendation of the
National Academies' heliophysics decadal report, and therefore
strongly urges 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 of
these missions.
Planetary Science.--Within funds provided to advance
scientific knowledge of our solar system, the Committee
provides the full budget requirement of $416,108,000 for the
Mars rovers and related science.
International Lunar Network.--The Committee is concerned
that NASA has chosen to take a science mission, the
international lunar network, and make its funding contingent on
a report that is focused on human space flight. 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, there has been
insufficient resources and inconsistent support for this
mission. In accordance with the planned funding profile
provided to the Committee for this mission, the Committee
directs $21,000,000 to continue the development for this
mission.
Astrophysics.--Within funds provided to advance scientific
knowledge of the origins of the universe, the Committee
provides the full budget requirements of $112,600,000 for the
Hubble Space Telescope and $441,400,000 for the James Webb
Space Telescope. The Committee also provides the full budget
request of $6,400,000 for the Joint Dark Energy Mission [JDEM].
Servicing Opportunities for Science Missions.--The
Committee provides $50,000,000 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 provided for in the statement of managers
accompanying division B of Public Law 111-8. The Committee
directs that this shall be a joint project of the science and
exploration mission directorates, with supervision provided by
the Associate Administrator and the Chief Engineer, and shall
include technology demonstrations for both robotic and human
servicing capabilities.

Environmentally Responsible Aviation Project.--The
Committee provides the $60,000,000 for this activity for
research to reduce fuel use, noise, and emissions from
aircraft.
Aircraft Safety.--The Committee is concerned that the
budget request reduced funding for aircraft safety research.
The recommendation restores $15,000,000 to this important
activity, for a total of $75,000,000.
NASA Unmanned Aircraft Systems University Affiliated
Research Center.--The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for
NASA's Aeronautics Program to establish a University Affiliated
Research Center [UARC] to collaborate with the Dryden National
Flight Center to focus on Unmanned Aircraft Systems [UAS]
remote sensing research applications and educational programs.
The UARC should have strong established collaborative ties to
NOAA and its UAS program for the purposes of transitioning

Review of U.S. Human Space Flight Plans.--The Committee
directs that NASA shall not use the operating plan or
reprogramming process as the method of implementing the
recommendations of the review. The opportunity for directing a
well constructed and thoughtful approach to manned space flight
should be as a budget amendment to the 2010 budget request that
is received in a manner that is timely for consideration by the
Committee, or as part of the 2011 budget request.
Ares I and Orion.--The Committee provides the full budget
request of $1,415,400,000 for Ares I, the new Crew Launch
Vehicle, and $1,383,500,000 for Orion, the Crew Exploration
Vehicle.
Ares V.--The Committee believes that the Ares V cargo
launch vehicle will be a critical national asset for carrying
exploration and scientific payloads beyond low Earth orbit to
the Moon and beyond. To facilitate the earliest possible start
of the development of the Ares V, the Committee recommends a
funding level of $100,000,000.
International Space Station as a National Laboratory.--As
construction of the International Space Station nears
completion, the Committee reminds NASA that section 507 of the
NASA Authorization Act of 2005 designated the International
Space Station [ISS] as a National Laboratory for the purposes
of using the unique environment of space for science. The
Committee has long advocated that NASA should utilize the ISS
to its full potential by enabling research of the life and
physical sciences in microgravity and partial gravity
environments to improve life on Earth. The Committee therefore
provides the full budget request of $21,800,000 for ISS
microgravity research. NASA shall report to the Committee no
later than 90 days after enactment of this act with a proposed
expenditure plan for this funding. The plan shall include
options and recommendations to ensure access of scientific
experiments to a microgravity environment after the Space
Shuttle's retirement via both the next generation vehicle
architecture as well as possible commercial launch options.

manifest by the end of fiscal year 2010. In the event that
additional time is necessary to complete the manifest, the
Committee directs the administration to seek adequate funding
for the remaining Shuttle flights in its fiscal year 2011
budget request. The Committee further directs that any funding
necessary in 2011 to complete the manifest shall not come from,
or jeopardize in any way, other ongoing NASA activities.
ISS Crew Cargo Services.--Within the funds provided for ISS
Crew Cargo Services, $40,000,000 shall be for a competitive
grant program for launch infrastructure construction and
upgrades at commercial spaceports, including spaceports located
at NASA facilities.
Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System [TDRSS].--The
Committee provides the full budget request of $26,000,000 to
continue replenishment of the TDRS system. NASA should report
no later than March 15, 2010, on options for accommodating
increased mission load to the system. The report should include
an examination of the feasibility of using off-the-shelf
technologies.

Education.--In addition to funds provided in 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 $28,400,000 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 $7,000,000 for a competitive grant program as
authorized by section 616 of Public Law 109-155.
Educational Activities at NASA Centers.--The Committee
provides $7,000,000 for the development of educational
activities at NASA's centers and direct NASA to distribute this
amount in equal $750,000 increments to each center's official
visitor center for the development of educational activities in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, including
exhibits.
Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle School Students
[EarthKAM] program.--The Committee recognizes the importance of
the EarthKAM program, which allows middle school students to
program a digital camera on board the International Space
Station to photograph a variety of geographical targets for
study in the classroom. Educators use the images for projects
involving Earth science, geography, physics, and social
science. Nearly 100,000 middle school students from nearly
1,500 schools have used EarthKAM to investigate every corner of
the globe. No other NASA program gives students such direct
control of an instrument flying on a spacecraft orbiting Earth,
and as a result, students assume an unparalleled personal
ownership in the study and analysis of the Earth. The Committee
is concerned that NASA's financial support for this program has
been significantly reduced, and directs NASA to increase
support for this program.
Informal Education.--A recent 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 increases 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 $30,200,000 for
NASA's IV&V Program.
Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant.--NASA's Stennis Space
Center is about to inherit an ammunition plant, portions of
which the Army has left derelict for many years. Upon transfer
of this facility, NASA will become the caretaker for an
additional 18 million square feet of facility floor space, of
which only 1 million square feet is occupied. NASA has
estimated that costs related to the transfer will be at least
$114,000,000. The Committee is extremely disappointed that NASA
has not requested funds to make the remainder of this facility
useable for work at Stennis Space Center. This facility, if
fully utilized, would benefit all tenants at Stennis Space
Center by providing additional revenue to reinvest in the
center for its mission.
Energy Efficiency at NASA Centers.--The Committee is
concerned that the agency may not be utilizing all possible
technologies to attain the goals of Executive Order 13423,
Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation
Management. NASA has informed the Committee that increased
electricity costs at each of their centers are eroding the
ability of NASA to maintain its centers without placing other
activities at risk. As a lead agency for scientific computing
and information technology, NASA has a strong focus on managing
information flow and the costs related to data management to
support its missions. The Committee strongly recommends that
NASA pursue information efficiency technologies, to include
virtualization, in its facilities and data centers to promote
energy efficiency and reduce current and future power
consumption.
Technical Civil Service Workforce.--The Committee is
concerned that NASA's full cost accounting structure does not
provide a transparent view of the funding requirements for the
Agency's civil service workforce because funding for technical
civil service personnel is included in the program lines. The
Committee therefore directs NASA to include in its fiscal year
2011 budget request justification an accounting of civil
service salary and expense requirements contained within each
program.
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:

\1\Includes $3,002,000,000 in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $6,916,760,000 for
the National Science Foundation [NSF]. The recommendation is
$426,360,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level not
including supplemental funding and $128,240,000 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 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, 2009...................................\1\$7,683,100,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 5,665,240,000
House allowance......................................... 5,642,110,000
Committee recommendation................................ 5,618,000,000
\1\Includes $2,500,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Committee's recommendation provides $5,618,000,000. The
recommendation is $434,900,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level not including supplemental funding and
$115,240,000 below the budget request.
The Research and Related Activities appropriation addresses
the Foundation's three strategic goals: people--developing a
diverse, internationally competitive and globally engaged
workforce of scientists, engineers, and well-prepared citizens;
ideas--enabling discovery across the frontiers of science and
engineering, connected to learning, innovation, and service to
society; and tools--providing broadly accessible, state-of-the-
art science and engineering facilities and shared research and
education tools. 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;
U.S. Polar Research Programs; U.S. Antarctica Logistical
Support Activities; and Integrative Activities.
The Committee's fiscal year 2010 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 the four major cross-foundation investments of
Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation, Science and Engineering
Beyond Moore's Law, Adaptive Systems Technology, and Dynamics
of Water Processes in the Environment. 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
joint explanatory statement accompanying the Department of
Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 110-
329). For fiscal year 2011, the Committee expects the operating
and maintenance budget authority and 400 FTP/FTE to be included
in the Coast Guard's request. The two agencies shall update the
existing Memorandum of Agreement to reflect this change in
budget authority.
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 in the fiscal
year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act and in the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act 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.
National Radio Astronomy Observatory.--The Committee
recommendation provides the full budget request of $67,090,000.
This level of funding will provide adequate funding for
operations of the Green Bank Observatory with its now
operational radio telescope, science center, and associated
student facilities.
Severe Storm Research.--The Committee recognizes the
collaborative efforts between NSF and NOAA to study tornadoes
with the research project VORTEX2. This project is scheduled to
continue through June 2010. At this time the study only focuses
on storms that occur in the Midwestern United States. However,
NOAA data shows that more damage is caused by severe weather in
the Southeastern portion of the United States than any other
region of the country. The Committee directs NSF to take into
account this information and to incorporate tornado activity in
the Southeastern United States as part of the collaboration
with NOAA on this research.
MAJOR RESEARCH EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION
Appropriations, 2009.................................... \1\$552,010,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 117,290,000
House allowance......................................... 114,290,000
Committee recommendation................................ 122,290,000
\1\Includes $400,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Committee recommendation provides $122,290,000. The
recommendation is $29,720,000 below the fiscal year 2009
enacted level not including supplemental funding and $5,000,000
above 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 recommendation includes funding at the
requested level for the following five ongoing projects: the
Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory
[AdvLIGO]; the Atacama Large Millimeter Array [ALMA]; the
IceCube Neutrino Observatory; the Ocean Observing Initiatives;
and the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope [ATST], for which
the Committee provides an additional $5,000,000 for this
project.
EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES
Appropriations, 2009.................................... \1\$945,260,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 857,760,000
House allowance......................................... 862,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 857,760,000
\1\Includes $1,000,000,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Public Law 111-5) funding.
The Committee recommendation provides $857,760,000. The
recommendation is $12,500,000 above the fiscal year 2009
enacted level not including emergency funding 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 ``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.
Informal Science Education.--The Committee maintains its
strong support for NSF's informal science education program. A
recent 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, 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 ``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
competition. Within 60 days of enactment of this act, the
National Science Foundation is directed to provide a report and
spend plan to the Appropriations Committees, 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 2011 budget and beyond.
AGENCY OPERATIONS AND AWARD MANAGEMENT
Appropriations, 2009.................................... $294,000,000
Budget estimate, 2010................................... 318,370,000
House allowance......................................... 299,870,000
Committee recommendation................................ 300,370,000
The Committee recommendation provides $300,370,000. The
recommendation is $6,370,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted
level and $18,000,000 below the budget request.
The salaries and expenses appropriation provides funds for
staff salaries, benefits, travel, training, rent, advisory and
assistance services, communications and utilities expenses,
supplies, equipment, and other operating expenses necessary for
management of the National Science Foundation's research and
education activities.
Workforce Management.--The Committee is deeply concerned
with systemic workforce management problems propagated from
senior management creating a hostile work environment between
Federal employees, rotational directors and the SES-level
directorate. The Committee, working with NSF's Office of the
Inspector General [OIG], has noticed a trend in poor management
oversight and neglected best-practice measures with regard to
personnel management. The lack of action taken by NSF to
address these ongoing problems is unacceptable, and raises
serious questions about NSF's Human Resource office.
Compounding the issue is the rotational director model, which
although brings fresh scientific insight and perspective to the
agency, creates gaps in management oversight. Program
directors, designated and authorized as supervisors, shall not
neglect their management responsibilities for the employees who
work under them. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned with
NSF's enforcement of policies prohibiting gender
discrimination, offensive work environments, and retaliation.
The cases that OIG referenced in its Management Implication
Report [MIR], dated July 14, 2008, and in its most recent
semiannual report to Congress demonstrate that NSF's current
policies and practices fail to deter the possible creation of a
hostile workplace environment. The OIG also noted that the
employees in general were not aware of how to contact NSF's
Office of Equal Opportunity Programs [OEOP], a reporting outlet
for NSF employees who witnessed inappropriate behavior.
Although NSF is an autonomous agency with the privilege of more
self-governances not afforded to other programs, it is not
independent from the Federal Government and is not exempt from
its laws ensuring that it provides a safe and productive work
environment for all of its employees. Within 60 days of
enactment of this act, NSF is directed to provide the Committee
with a report detailing the operations of its Office of Equal
Opportunity Programs, its Human Resource Division and its
Sexual Harassment program, complete with a reformed plan for
how to improve employee relations. In addition, the OIG shall
also provide a report assessing NSF's rotating director model
with regard to reforming supervisory expectations and
responsibilities complete with a training and indoctrination
plan.
Grant Management.--The Committee notes that NSF needs to
improve its grant management activities with respect to
selecting awards in an objective manner and to help ensure
accountability of funds. The agency needs to refine its grant
management model and create measurable goals and metrics.
Therefore, the Committee directs NSF to develop within 90 days
of enactment of this act an accountability program that manages
grants from before an award is made, through the award
performance, and after the award is closed. This program should
focus on: (1) financial accomplishments, (2) research
performance, and (3) nonfinancial compliance issues. Such
metrics shall include: percentage of large dollar awards that
receive a pre-award financial risk; percentage of pre-award
financial reviews for new awardee institutions; percentage of
financial closeout reviews conducted; percentage of large
dollar awards that have measurable goals and metrics;
percentage of large dollar awards that received a programmatic
site visit during active award period; number of
recommendations made in programmatic reviews that receive
follow-up; number of NSF proposals and awards that require
Institutional Review Board or other required reviews and
identify the percentage of such awards that contain evidence
that such reviews were conducted; number of awardees that
inform NSF of conflict of interest issues and the number of
program officers and panelists that disclose conflict of
interest. The Committee recognizes that this type of
performance tracking is, for the most part, not currently being
accomplished at NSF, so the agency will need to begin tracking
information and establish a baseline in order to develop
appropriate targets.

NOTE.--Consistent with the funding recommended in the bill for ``overseas deployments and other activities'' and
in accordance with section 401(c)(4) of Senate Concurrent Resolution 13 (111th Congress), the Committee
anticipates that the Budget Committee will file a revised section 302(a) allocation for the Committee on
Appropriations reflecting an upward adjustment of $126,000,000 in budget authority plus associated outlays.
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.
