\1\Committee recommendation includes $240,978,000 in rescissions,
  compared to $42,000,000 of proposed cancellations.
\2\Includes a permanent indefinite appropriation of $201,000,000 for the
  Coast Guard healthcare fund contribution.
\3\Excludes up to $227,033,000 for Coast Guard overseas contingency
  operations requested in Department of Defense ``Operation and

  contingency operations.
\5\Includes $5,626,386,000 for the FEMA Disaster Relief Fund designated
  by Congress as disaster relief pursuant to Public Law 112-25.

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$46,413,386,000 for the Department of Homeland Security for 
fiscal year 2014, $299,278,000 more than the budget request. Of 
this amount, $44,953,386,000 is discretionary programs, 
including $227,000,000 for Coast Guard overseas contingency 
operations and $5,626,386,000 for the FEMA Disaster Relief Fund 
designated by Congress as disaster relief pursuant to Public 
Law 112-25.
    The Committee recommends discretionary appropriations, 
excluding Coast Guard overseas contingency operations and the 
FEMA Disaster Relief Fund adjustment of $39,100,000,000, 
$72,278,000 above the request. Even with this modest increase, 
this is the fourth year in a row that discretionary 
appropriations for the DHS have decreased.

                                Overview

    Within the past year, our Nation has witnessed a 
substantial rise in attempts and attacks on our country from 
home-grown terrorists. We face real threats from radicalized 
individuals here in the United States, as shown most recently 
by the Boston Marathon bombers and the arrest in Boise, Idaho, 
of an Uzbekistan national accused of conspiring with a 
designated terrorist organization in his home country, scheming 
to use a weapon of mass destruction, and distributing 
information about explosives and bombs. These events remind us 
that deranged or alienated individuals--often U.S. citizens or 
legal residents--can do enormous damage, particularly when 
inspired by larger notions of violent jihad.
    At the same time, individuals and terrorist groups abroad 
continue to focus on doing us harm. Even though Osama bin Laden 
and most of his top lieutenants are dead, our Nation is still 
threatened by al Qaeda affiliates and other international 
terrorists. From Yemen to Iraq, from Somalia to North Africa, 
from the Pakistani Taliban to Syria, the threat today is more 
diffuse, with al Qaeda's affiliate in the Arabian Peninsula--
AQAP--being the most active in plotting against our homeland. 
While there have been no successful large-scale attacks on the 
United States, plots have been thwarted. For example, in April, 
there was a plot to blow up a rail line between United States 
and Canada. And the aviation system continues to face repeated 
threats from international operatives. In addition, 
cybersecurity threats continue to evolve at an alarming rate 
with 250,000 probes/attacks on U.S. Government networks an hour 
and global costs of over $1,000,000,000 in direct financial 
loss, the cost of remediating cyber attacks, and loss of 
intellectual property. In an age where ideas and images can 
travel the globe in a minute, we must continue to be vigilant 
and strengthen our law enforcement defenses to make American 
targets harder to strike. This bill does just that. For 
example:
  --At U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP], the bill 
        recommends hiring more than 1,850 new CBP officers at 
        our ports of entry to facilitate the processing of 
        legitimate trade and travelers while preventing entry 
        of those would do us harm.
  --At U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE], special 
        agents have already seized more than $1,000,000,000 in 
        currency seizure and made more than 6,000 criminal 
        arrests. The bill provides nearly $25,000,000 for human 
        trafficking and smuggling investigations as well as 
        investigations in commercial trade fraud.
  --At the Transportation Security Administration, the bill 
        includes $189,154,000 for explosives detection 
        technologies to screen passengers and their belongings 
        at airports and $105,919,000 for Secure Flight, which 
        matches passenger data against portions of the 
        Terrorist Screening Database.
  --For cybersecurity, the bill recommends a total of 
        $803,827,000 for cybersecurity protection of Federal 
        networks and incident response, $47,997,000 above 
        fiscal year 2013. This amount includes $15,824,000 for 
        cybersecurity education to train future cyber warriors.
  --A total of $404,000,000 is included for construction of the 
        National Bio and Agro Defense Facility, which is being 
        built to prevent the accidental or intentional 
        introduction of deadly animal diseases into the United 
        States.
  --A total of $98,000,000, $5,000,000 above fiscal year 2013, 
        for first responder weapons of mass destruction 
        training.
  --A total of $29,868,000 above the fiscal year 2013 level is 
        provided to strengthen the Department's ability to 
        safeguard and share classified information with its 
        Federal, State, and local partners, and to help deter 
        the unauthorized release of such information. In the 
        wake of past and recent public disclosures of critical 
        national security information, such safeguards are 
        vital to ensuring effective controls are in place to 
        prevent the illicit removal and dissemination of 
        classified information.
  --A total of $10,504,000 for the Office of Bombing Prevention 
        to advance training, analysis, and awareness.
  --A total of $35,180,000 for Urban Search and Rescue Teams 
        for location, rescue, and initial medical care of 
        people in large scale disasters.
  --An additional $3,000,000 is included for the ``If You See 
        Something, Say Something'' campaign to raise public 
        awareness on indicators of terrorism.
  --A total of $1,962,000 for efforts to counter domestic 
        violent extremism, $135,000 above fiscal year 2013. 
        Given the terrorist attacks in Boston, the Department 
        should be strengthening and expanding its activities to 
        counter violent extremism in the coming months and 
        year.
    While threats continue to be a serious concern, we also 
face unpredictable and sometimes dire natural disasters that 
have a significant impact on our cities and rural communities. 
Within the last year, for example, New York, New Jersey and 
Connecticut were devastated by Hurricane Sandy, which was the 
second most costly hurricane in history. Similarly, the State 
of Oklahoma was recently hit by severe tornados that wiped out 
the town of Moore, Oklahoma. In 2011, there were a total of 242 
declared disasters including Federal disasters, emergency 
declarations and fire management declarations, almost 100 more 
than seen in any other year. For 2012, there were 112, with 
fire topping the number of Federal declarations. DHS must be 
prepared for and nimbly able to support such natural disaster 
response. This bill provides the resources for DHS to do so in 
fiscal year 2014, including $6,220,908,000 through the Disaster 
Relief Fund to recover from previous events and respond to 
future disasters.
    At the same time, DHS must also ensure that its other 
legacy and statutory missions, such as enforcing our 
immigration laws, facilitating legitimate travel and trade, 
protecting our currency, interdicting drugs and migrants, 
responding to oil spills, and rescuing those in need are 
sufficiently provided for. The bill does so by ensuring that 
these missions have adequate resources in part by refocusing 
resources on those areas that the Committee believes were 
underfunded in the fiscal year 2014 request or by supplementing 
request levels for enhancements to fill technological 
limitations. For example:
  --The recommendation for the Coast Guard includes several 
        increases above the request, including $16,000,000 and 
        242 positions to enhance drug and migrant interdiction 
        efforts, $278,568,000 to acquire new vessels 
        desperately needed to replace an aging fleet, 
        $1,000,000 and six positions to enhance the Coast 
        Guard's sexual assault response and prevention program, 
        and $13,000,000 above the request to restore 600 
        reservists to active status, which will enable the 
        Coast Guard to retain the majority of the first 
        responders proposed for reduction.
  --The bill recommends a total of $1,502,000,000 for first 
        responder grants, $37,853,000 above the fiscal year 
        2013 to provide for the protection of infrastructure 
        and the readiness of police, firefighters, public 
        health officials and emergency managers in States, 
        urban areas, ports, and transit systems.
  --At CBP, the bill increases traveler targeting and 
        processing systems by more than $10,000,000 above the 
        request, for a total of more than $28,000,000.
  --The bill funds detention beds at ICE beds at $41,000,000 
        above the request and increases funds for alternatives 
        to detention by nearly $24,000,000 above the request.
  --The bill restores damaging proposed cuts to Secret Service 
        agents who protect the First Family and other 
        individuals while also conducting investigations into 
        counterfeiting the currency and securing financial 
        networks.
  --And to assist people lawfully present in this country who 
        wish to become U.S. citizens, a total of $10,000,000 is 
        provided for immigrant integration grants.
    All of this must be done with fiscal restraint in mind. The 
answers to our homeland security challenges do not always 
involve spending more money. DHS can also improve its programs 
by refocusing its priorities to root out fraud, waste, and 
abuse, and alter what does not work well in the Department for 
those actions that truly make a difference. In addition, DHS 
must make a concerted effort to work with other key Federal, 
State, local and international partners to ensure our broader 
national strategy to maintain a secure and resilient country is 
achieved as DHS-related programs cannot do this in a vacuum. 
For fiscal year 2014, the Committee recommends continuing major 
reforms as well as puts new ones in place to strengthen and 
streamline the Department.
  --The bill approves over $1,300,000,000 in requested 
        administrative cost savings.
  --The bill allows for the decommissioning of two Coast Guard 
        patrol boats that have become too expensive to 
        maintain, saving nearly $3,000,000.
  --The bill includes funding for six critically needed Coast 
        Guard Fast Response Cutters (instead of two requested). 
        Procuring six maximizes the production line and 
        generates cost savings of at least $5,000,000 per hull 
        for a total savings to the taxpayers of $30,000,000.
  --The bill calls for the Department to reduce the number of 
        expensive offline travel bookings when online bookings 
        are much cheaper. The report requires the Inspector 
        General to examine travel costs to identify excessive 
        expenditures and identify areas of savings.
  --A series of energy conservation efforts are included for 
        fiscal year 2014, which will allow the Federal Law 
        Enforcement Training Center to save approximately 
        $2,000,000 and, with the installation of photovoltaic 
        equipment, avoid paying energy costs totaling 
        $2,500,000 at its Cheltenham facility.
  --The bill rejects the unauthorized National Preparedness 
        Grant proposal, waiting for the appropriate authorizing 
        Committees to act.
  --The bill includes 16 statutorily mandated expenditure plans 
        for robust congressional oversight. In addition, there 
        are another 11 expenditure plans in the report. The 
        Committee encourages DHS to issue these reports in an 
        unclassified format so that they can be available to 
        the public, to the maximum extent practicable.
  --The bill continues annual and monthly reporting 
        requirements for expenditures from the Disaster Relief 
        Fund and directs FEMA to make these reports available 
        to the public no later than 10 days after the close of 
        each month.
  --The bill continues a monthly obligation, expenditure, and 
        staffing reporting requirement. Delivery of these 
        reports is now required within 30 days after the end of 
        the month, to better oversee expenditures.
  --The bill includes 7 multiyear investment reports so that 
        the Committee can better track when acquisitions and 
        procurements are required for large capital programs.
  --The bill rejects the Department's request to realign the 
        Office of Policy, making three of its offices direct 
        reports to the Secretary. This is inconsistent with 
        consolidation elsewhere in the Department.
    In conclusion, the recommendations contained in this bill 
sustain the Department of Homeland Security's vital front line 
security operations, while providing resources for the 
Department to nimbly react to the latest threat, either man-
made or natural, and assuring sufficient management and 
administrative oversight to ensure fiscal responsibility and 
wise investments of taxpayer money.

    The Office of the Secretary and Executive Management 
supports the Department by providing direction, management, and 
policy guidance to operating components. The specific 
activities funded by this account include: the Immediate Office 
of the Secretary; the Immediate Office of the Deputy Secretary; 
the Office of the Chief of Staff; the Office of the Executive 
Secretary; the Office of Policy; the Office of Public Affairs; 
the Office of Legislative Affairs; the Office of the General 
Counsel; the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties; the 
Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman; the Office of 
Intergovernmental Affairs; and the Privacy Officer.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $123,600,000 for the Office of the 
Secretary and Executive Management. This is $2,954,000 below 
the amount requested and $6,227,000 below the amount provided 
in fiscal year 2013. Of this amount, the Committee recommends 
not to exceed $45,000 for official reception and representation 
expenses.
    The Committee includes the requested programmatic increases 
for the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties [OCRCL], 
including $1,327,000 for OCRCL to ensure that the Department's 
immigration efforts comply with all applicable civil rights 
statutes and constitutional requirements. The Committee directs 
that a briefing on the program be provided no later than 60 
days after the date of enactment of this act. The briefing is 
to be conducted jointly by OCRCL and U.S. Immigration and 
Customs Enforcement [ICE] officials.
    In the President's counterterrorism speech on May 23, 2013, 
he said the Nation ``faces a real threat from radicalized 
individuals here in the United States''. The Committee includes 
the requested program increase of $135,000 and a total of 
$1,962,000 for OCRCL efforts to counter domestic violent 
extremism. Given the terrorist attacks in Boston, the 
Department should be strengthening and expanding its activities 
to counter violent extremism in the coming months and year. The 
Department shall provide a briefing to the Committee no later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, on how 
the DHS Counter Violent Extremism [CVE] efforts are being 
expanded, including community engagement, CVE training for 
communities and law enforcement, and increased analytical 
intelligence support to State and Local law enforcement.
    The recommendation includes the requested increase of 
$3,000,000 to expand the ``If You See Something, Say 
Something'' public awareness campaign. This campaign has proven 
to be effective in engaging the public in identifying and 
reporting on indicators of terrorism and terrorism-related 
crime. The increase will enable the Department to expand the 
campaign to focus on prevention, mitigation, and response to 
violent incidents like mass shooting and mass casualty events.
    The Committee again denies the budget proposal to create 
separate budget line items for the Office of International 
Affairs, the Office of State and Local Law Enforcement, and the 
Private Sector Office, which are all currently funded within 
the Office of Policy. The Department has not supplied the 
Committee with a compelling rationale for why these offices 
need to be stand alone entities within the Office of the 
Secretary and Executive Management, given that these functions 
have been performed adequately within the Office of Policy.
    The specific levels recommended by the Committee as 
compared to the fiscal year 2013 and budget request levels are 
as follows:

                           EXPENDITURE PLANS

    The bill includes language directing the Secretary to 
submit expenditure plans to the Committee no later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act for the Offices of 
Policy, Intergovernmental Affairs, Civil Rights and Civil 
Liberties, Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman, and 
Privacy. Each plan shall include details on: staffing by 
programmatic function area, expenses, contracts, obligations, 
funds by sub-offices (if appropriate), and how resources are 
aligned to specific activities and initiatives in fiscal year 
2014.

                            EVOLVING THREATS

    The demands on the Department of Homeland Security continue 
to grow as the threats from terrorism persistently evolve. 
Whether it is homegrown terrorism; cyber intrusions; 
biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks; food tampering; 
surgically implanted explosives; animal diseases; or varying 
locations and means for crossing our borders (such as tunnels), 
the Department must be able to respond and adapt swiftly to 
interdict these threats at the earliest point possible. 
Further, naturally occurring events put our Nation at risk. 
Severe storms and wildfires are growing more frequent and 
larger and earthquakes threaten major population areas, posing 
a risk to critical infrastructure. DHS is to continue quarterly 
briefings to the Committee on how it is addressing these 
evolving threats.

                            TRAVEL BOOKINGS

    The Committee is concerned with the excessive costs being 
incurred by Departmental entities with regard to travel 
reservations. While the Department's policy requires the use of 
online booking systems in all cases, with few exceptions, cost 
data received by the Committee indicates that travel 
reservations are heavily skewed towards offline reservations. 
In fiscal year 2012, the Department spent $5,306,524 on travel 
reservations, of which $4,446,329 were from reservations made 
offline. Making reservations through online booking can save 
millions of dollars as compared to offline booking, 
specifically 73 percent less for a domestic airline ticket and 
75 percent for an international airline ticket. The Department 
must continue to emphasize frugality by cutting costs and 
streamlining processes wherever possible. Therefore, the 
Department is expected to significantly reduce the number of 
offline reservations in fiscal year 2014. Further, the 
Committee directs the Inspector General to examine these travel 
costs to identify excessive expenditures and identify areas of 
savings.

                       EFFICIENCY REVIEW PROGRAM

    In March of 2009, the Department began an efficiency review 
process aimed at cutting overhead and administrative costs, 
streamlining operations, and creating a culture of efficiency 
throughout the Department. According to the Department's fiscal 
year 2014 budget, more than $4,000,000,000 in cost avoidances 
and reductions has occurred, with the redeployment of those 
funds to the Department's most mission-critical programs. In 
November of 2012, the Department had an independent third party 
conduct an assessment of the status and effectiveness of the 
efficiency review program. The review concluded that the 
program has been initially successful in creating cost 
avoidances, but found that the program ``is limited by the 
scope of its mission, its organizational model, resource 
allocation from Headquarters/Components, and its linkages to 
various management structures with the Department.'' The review 
made recommendations for common sense improvements to conduct 
operations more efficiently as a Department, such as linking 
the efficiency program to existing departmental governance 
structures, emphasizing consistency in efficiency review 
investments across all components, expanding metrics reporting, 
and expanding the efficiency review to areas beyond the mission 
support enterprise. DHS is to brief the Committee on the 
implementation of these recommendations no later than 60 days 
after the date of enactment of this act.

           COORDINATION OF FEDERAL CHEMICAL SECURITY EFFORTS

    Since fiscal year 2010, the Committee has required the 
Department to report on the coordination of chemical security 
efforts, both within the Department and across departments and 
agencies. Specifically, this report comes from the Deputy 
Secretary semiannually and the Committee continues the 
requirement. While NPPD and Coast Guard have made substantial 
progress formalizing and beginning to align their respective 
programs, these same efforts need to be completed with TSA. 
Additionally, beyond DHS, the tragic chemical facility incident 
in West, Texas revealed gaps among Federal and State agencies. 
The Committee notes that while the President assigned DHS the 
overarching coordination responsibility related to chemical 
security through Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7, 
DHS should work in conjunction with the Office of Management 
and Budget to review and synchronize Federal entities involved 
in chemical security activities. Under the heading National 
Protection and Programs Directorate, the Committee includes a 
requirement for the Chemical Sector Coordination Council to 
develop recommendations to improve coordination among Federal 
agencies, streamline reporting requirements, and improve the 
Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Program in an effort 
to garner stakeholder input.

                               USER FEES

    The Committee directs the Secretary to continue quarterly 
updates on user fees as originally directed in the conference 
report accompanying Public Law 111-83.

                     DEPARTMENTAL INTEGRITY EFFORTS

    The Committee is pleased with the work that has been done 
to solidify the investigative relationship between the OIG and 
CBP regarding corruption investigations. The Committee directs 
the Deputy Secretary, jointly with the OIG, CBP, and ICE, to 
submit a status update report, not later than 60 days after the 
date of enactment of this act, outlining the specific steps 
being taken to further address the process for investigating 
cases of corruption of DHS employees, and outline the plan to 
address, as a unified DHS, the engagement of DHS with the 
Department of Justice's Border Corruption Task Forces. The 
Senate-passed immigration reform legislation envisions the 
hiring of approximately 25,000 additional Border Patrol agents, 
Customs and Border Protection officers, and immigration 
enforcement and processing personnel. Such a massive level of 
hiring would place significant burdens on human resource 
personnel and the affected agencies. The Committee directs the 
Department to develop a hiring strategy detailing the steps 
which need to be taken to rigorously perform background 
investigations on potential new hires, the number of 
polygraphers to be hired, and other necessary steps to be 
prepared to begin the hiring process the day after any 
legislation is signed into law. The DHS Inspector General shall 
also review the integrity aspect of this hiring strategy and 
provide input and suggestions as appropriate.

                 RECEPTION AND REPRESENTATION EXPENSES

    Within the total amount recommended for the Office of the 
Secretary and Executive Management, up to $45,000 is included 
for reception and representation expenses. The Department is 
directed to submit quarterly reports to the Committee listing 
obligations for all DHS reception and representation expenses 
by purpose and dollar amount, at a level of detail provided in 
fiscal year 2013 and 2014, or in greater detail if that is 
required to explain how funds were used. In recognition of a 
more constrained budget environment and to limit opportunities 
for waste and abuse, the Committee maintains the 12 percent 
reduction implemented over the past two fiscal years for 
reception and representation expenses.

                             OVERHEAD COSTS

    The President issued Executive Order 13589 on November 9, 
2011, directing Federal agencies to plan for reducing the 
combined costs of certain activities by not less than 20 
percent below fiscal year 2010 levels in fiscal year 2013. The 
Department should continue to seek to reduce operating expenses 
by placing greater scrutiny on overhead costs and looking at 
creative ways to achieve efficiencies. For example, field 
personnel could take advantage of mobile technology and 
automation to reduce labor-intensive and paper-based incident 
reporting. This would also have benefits to operations, such as 
facilitating a near real-time picture of operations for field 
and headquarters leadership. The Committee directs the 
Department to provide a briefing on the cost reductions 
achieved by the Department in fiscal year 2013 and its plan to 
reduce overhead costs within 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act to include the areas identified in 
Executive Order 13589 as well as consolidating and reducing 
administrative and mission support personnel, as appropriate; 
consolidating and reducing contractor support, as appropriate; 
taking advantage of mobile technology and automation to reduce 
certain support personnel needs; and better managing and 
reducing overtime costs.

           FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTERS

    The Department is directed to report semi-annually to the 
Committee on the current projects tasked to Federally Funded 
Research and Development Centers [FFRDCs], the funding 
obligated by component, including the purposes for the funds, 
and any projects completed in the prior 6-month period, with 
the first report due February 14, 2014. The Committee has yet 
to receive a report in fiscal year 2013 and reports for prior 
years were submitted well after the required due dates and 
failed to fully describe individual projects and the purpose 
they served. The Committee expects more robust project 
descriptions of individual projects and a more timely 
submission.

           EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND RESCUE LOCATION INFORMATION

    The United States National Grid [USNG] was developed in 
cooperation with the United States Geological Survey and 
National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, and it has since been 
adopted by a number of States. The Committee encourages the 
Department to continue to support awareness, adoption, 
implementation, and tactical use of the USNG for emergency 
response and rescue scenarios in cooperation with appropriate 
outside partners, including those in academia. Further, the 
Committee directs the Department to submit a report no later 
than 180 days after the date of enactment of this act on what 
training is currently available, what challenges there are in 
disseminating the USNG, and what partners have collaborated in 
training.

               PUBLIC ACCESS TO FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH

    In February of 2013, the Office of Science and Technology 
Policy, Executive Office of the President issued guidelines on 
increasing public access to the results of federally funded 
scientific research. Given the importance of the research 
funded by the Office of Health Affairs, the Science and 
Technology Directorate, and the Domestic Nuclear Detection 
Office, the Committee encourages the Department to 
expeditiously comply.

    The Under Secretary for Management oversees management and 
operations of the Department, including procurement and 
acquisition, human capital, and property management. The 
specific activities funded by this account include the 
Immediate Office of the Under Secretary for Management, the 
Office of the Chief Security Officer, the Office of the Chief 
Procurement Officer, the Office of the Chief Human Capital 
Officer, and the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $198,200,000 for the Under 
Secretary for Management. This is $4,486,000 below the amount 
requested and $20,023,000 below the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. Of this amount, the Committee recommends not to 
exceed $2,250 for official reception and representation 
expenses. The Committee's recommendation includes funding for 
oversight of major acquisitions, recruitment and development of 
a skilled workforce, and security measures to safeguard DHS 
personnel, property, facilities, and information. The Committee 
supports the one-DHS concept, which can only be executed when 
such missions are appropriately funded. Effective government is 
not accomplished through excessive funding cuts for these 
essential capabilities. Unless specifically addressed in this 
report, the small reductions taken to individual offices below 
the request are due to a constrained budget environment and to 
focus limited resources on the Department's critical 
operational missions.
    The specific levels recommended by the Committee, as 
compared to the fiscal year 2013 and budget request levels, are 
as follows:

         COMPREHENSIVE AND QUARTERLY ACQUISITION STATUS REPORTS

    In order to obtain the information necessary for in-depth 
congressional oversight, statutory language is included in this 
act that requires a Comprehensive Acquisition Status Report to 
be included as part of the submission of the President's fiscal 
year 2015 budget, with quarterly updates to be submitted 45 
days after the completion of each quarter. The requirements for 
the reports are addressed below.
    The Comprehensive Acquisition Status Report shall include 
programs identified for Major Acquisition Oversight as defined 
in the Department memorandum titled ``Department of Homeland 
Security Major Acquisition Oversight List'' dated January 25, 
2011, and programs that have been classified for major 
acquisition oversight subsequent to the referenced memorandum. 
The Comprehensive Acquisition Status Report shall include for 
each major acquisition:
  --A narrative description to include current gaps and 
        shortfalls, the capabilities to be fielded, and the 
        number of planned increments and/or units;
  --Acquisition Review Board (or other board designated to 
        review the acquisition) status of each acquisition, 
        including the current acquisition phase, the date of 
        the last review and a listing of the required documents 
        that have been reviewed with the dates reviewed and/or 
        approved;
  --The most current approved Acquisition Program Baseline (to 
        include project schedules and events);
  --A comparison of the original Acquisition Program Baseline, 
        the current Acquisition Program Baseline, and the 
        current estimate;
  --Whether or not an Independent Verification and Validation 
        has been implemented, with an explanation for the 
        decision and a summary of any findings;
  --A rating of cost risk, schedule risk, and technical risk 
        associated with the program (including narrative 
        descriptions and mitigation actions);
  --Contract status (to include earned value management data as 
        applicable);
  --A life-cycle cost of the acquisition and time basis for the 
        estimate;
  --A planned procurement schedule, including the best estimate 
        of the annual cost and increments/units to be procured 
        annually until procurement is complete;
  --A table delineated by appropriation that provides (for 
        prior years; past year; current year; budget year; 
        budget year plus one; budget year plus two; budget year 
        plus three; budget year plus four and beyond; and total 
        cost) the actual or estimated appropriations, 
        obligations, unobligated authority, and planned 
        expenditures;
  --The reason for any significant changes (from the previous 
        comprehensive report) in acquisition quantity, cost, or 
        schedule;
  --Key Events/Milestones from the prior fiscal year; and
  --Key Events/Milestones for the current fiscal year.
    Quarterly reports shall include:
  --An updated status report on any major acquisition for which 
        there has been an approved or a new acquisition program 
        baseline, a new acquisition decision memorandum, or 
        where there has been significant deviation from the 
        prior report with respect to acquisition cost, 
        quantity, or schedule (a significant change is any 
        deviation in cost or quantity that exceeds 8 percent or 
        any change in schedule that exceeds 6 months).
  --A table depicting the title of the program, quantity and 
        cost based on the original Acquisition Program 
        Baseline, quantity and cost based on the most current 
        acquisition program baseline, the quantity and cost of 
        the most current estimate, and the explanation for any 
        change in quantity and cost from prior reports.
  --If applicable, a copy of the acquisition decision 
        memorandum, together with a copy of the Letter of 
        Assessment signed by the Director of Testing and 
        Evaluation.

                        LESSONS LEARNED REVIEWS

    A recent GAO report (GAO-13-256) found that ``conducting 
lessons learned reviews when programs are canceled benefits 
organizations by identifying things that worked well and did 
not work well in order to improve future acquisitions 
programs.'' According to GAO's review, there is no firm 
requirement within the Department's acquisition guidance to 
conduct reviews if an acquisition program is cancelled. GAO 
recommended that DHS should require the publication of a 
lessons learned reports to increase the likelihood that future 
acquisitions will succeed. Therefore, consistent with GAO's 
recommendation, the Department is to revise its acquisition 
instruction manual to require a process and mechanism for 
collecting and distributing lessons learned.

                      BALANCED WORKFORCE STRATEGY

    The Committee supports the Department's efforts to 
determine the proper balance of Federal and contractor 
employees for programs and functions of the Department. The 
Committee recognizes that this is an evolving and continuous 
process, but progress and milestones are necessary to judge the 
success of these efforts. Based on the Department's latest 
report on the Balanced Workforce Strategy, recent attempts to 
collect updated information on the effects of insourcing have 
been insufficient. As a result, the Department is planning to 
release more robust reporting guidance in August 2013 to 
components to provide a more comprehensive summary of the 
Balanced Workforce Strategy. The Department is directed to 
submit the results of this effort to the Committee by April 1, 
2014.

                       HEADQUARTERS CONSOLIDATION

    A general provision is included providing $43,300,000 for 
the ``Office of the Under Secretary for Management'' for costs 
associated with headquarters consolidation and mission support 
consolidation. In addition, $12,800,000 is recommended in Coast 
Guard ``Operating Expenses'' to support the Coast Guard at St. 
Elizabeths. The Under Secretary shall submit an expenditure 
plan no later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this 
act detailing how these funds will be allocated, including a 
revised schedule and cost estimates for headquarters 
consolidation. Quarterly briefings are required on headquarters 
and mission support consolidation activities, including any 
deviation from the expenditure plan.

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $48,000,000 for the Office of the 
Chief Financial Office [OCFO]. This is $779,000 below the 
amount requested and $3,432,000 below the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013.

                       COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT

    The Committee assumes the cost of living adjustment for 
civilian employees across the Department will be absorbed 
within amounts appropriated in this act.

                    FINANCIAL SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION

    The Committee recognizes the Department's need to improve 
the reliability and transparency of its financial data, and 
directs DHS to maintain frequent communications with the 
Committee on financial management improvement plans necessary 
to support the Department's missions, including total resource 
requirements by fiscal year and a timeline for implementation 
with discrete milestones. The Committee includes $4,000,000 for 
the OCFO to provide governance and oversight of the Component's 
migration to a financial systems solution. The bill includes 
$29,500,000 in the Coast Guard's ``Operating Expenses'' 
appropriation for the migration of its financial management 
system in fiscal year 2014 that will also support TSA and the 
Domestic Nuclear Detection Office.

                  BUDGET EXECUTION AND STAFFING REPORT

    The Committee continues and modifies a general provision 
requiring the Department to continue to submit to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations a monthly budget execution 
report showing the status of obligations and costs for all 
components of the Department and on-board staffing levels 
(Federal employees and contractors). The report shall include 
the total obligational authority appropriated (new budget 
authority plus unobligated carryover), undistributed 
obligational authority, amount allotted, current year 
obligations, unobligated authority (the difference between 
total obligational authority and current year obligations), 
beginning unexpended obligations, year-to-date costs, and 
ending unexpended obligations. This budget execution 
information is to be provided at the level of detail shown in 
the tables displayed at the end of this report for each 
departmental component and the Working Capital Fund. The 
Committee commends the OCFO for its progress in automating the 
data extraction for this report. In the past, this process has 
been manual, creating a long lag time for reporting the budget 
data to the Committee. With an automated process, the 
Department will be able to submit these reports to the 
Committee in a more timely manner. Therefore, the requirement 
in the bill has been modified requiring this report to be 
submitted no later than 30 days after the close of each month 
instead of the previous requirement of 45 days.

                           EXPENDITURE PLANS

    The Committee continues requiring expenditure plans for 
specific DHS programs. These plans are intended to provide 
Congress with information to effectively oversee a particular 
program and hold the Department accountable for program 
results. Expenditure plans required by the Committee shall 
include, at a minimum: a description of how the plan satisfies 
any relevant legislative conditions for the expenditure plan; 
planned capabilities and benefits; cost and schedule 
commitments; measures of progress against commitments made in 
previous plans; how the program is being managed to provide 
reasonable assurance that the promised program capabilities, 
benefits, and cost and schedule commitments will be achieved; 
historical funding for the program, if applicable; and an 
obligation and outlay schedule.

                              CONFERENCES

    The Committee includes a general provision directing the 
Secretary to submit an annual report to the Inspector General 
regarding the purpose, participation, cost, and contracting 
procedures for each conference held in fiscal year 2014 that 
exceeds $100,000. A recent audit by the OIG (OIG-13-96) found 
that while the Department has made improvements to better 
oversee conference spending, it needs to institute stronger 
oversight from the Chief Financial Officer to ensure that 
components are submitting all conferences for review and 
approval, there is better tracking of conference attendance, 
that components update guidance on conference policy 
requirements, and that an Annual Quality Control Review is 
conducted for fiscal year 2013 and future fiscal years. The 
Committee directs DHS to comply with the OIG recommendations 
not later than January 31, 2014.

                      ANNUAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

    The Chief Financial Officer is directed to ensure that 
fiscal year 2015 budget justifications for classified and 
unclassified budgets of all Department components are submitted 
on February 3, 2014, concurrent with the President's budget 
submission to Congress. The justifications shall include:
  --Detailed data and explanatory descriptions for each 
        appropriations request, and for each PPA reflected in 
        the table accompanying this statement, including 
        offices that have been identified as PPAs. Information 
        regarding actual and planned accomplishments should be 
        in quantifiable terms and demonstrate a direct 
        relationship to funding;
  --Tables that reflect actual and estimated funding by PPA for 
        fiscal years 2014 and 2015; identify each increase, 
        decrease, transfer, and staffing change proposed in 
        fiscal year 2015; and explain such year-to-year changes 
        in terms that are clear and unambiguous, and exclude 
        nonspecific terms such as ``technical adjustment'' or 
        ``administrative savings'' unless accompanied by a 
        detailed explanation. To establish a common baseline 
        reference, the fiscal year 2014 discretionary data 
        shall tie to the fiscal year 2014 discretionary total 
        in the table accompanying this statement or have a 
        table identifying each change. Explanations of 
        adjustments to base funding, whether increases or 
        decreases, should be specific, and programmatic changes 
        and initiatives should be clearly identified and 
        justified;
  --For each PPA that is comprised of acquisition and 
        procurement activity, the justification should address 
        all proposed spending using a zero-based budget 
        description;
  --Information by appropriations account and PPA on all 
        reimbursable agreements and significant uses of the 
        Economy Act for each fiscal year;
  --An accurate detailed table identifying the last year that 
        authorizing legislation was enacted into law for each 
        PPA, including the amount of the authorization and the 
        appropriation in the last year of authorization;
  --The text and citation of all Department appropriations 
        provisions enacted to date that are permanent law;
  --Explanations and justifications for all proposed 
        legislative language changes, whether they are new or 
        amend existing law, whether they are substantive or 
        technical in nature, with an annotated comparison of 
        proposed versus existing language; and
  --A report on the status of overdue Committee reports, plans, 
        and briefings for each of fiscal years 2013 and 2014.

                 FUTURE YEARS HOMELAND SECURITY PROGRAM

    Consistent with section 874 of Public Law 107-296, the 
Department shall submit a Future Years Homeland Security 
Program budget as part of the fiscal year 2015 budget 
justification. The report is to display funding by 
appropriation account and subordinate program, project, or 
activity. Further the report is to provide a 5-year capital 
investment plan for all major acquisitions. The report shall be 
in unclassified form so as to be accessible to the general 
public. Having a forward-looking budget forecast provides a 
reasonable understanding of future program and acquisition 
needs and the proportionate resources needed to execute the 
Department's mission of protection and defense of the homeland, 
as well as emergency planning and response.

                       MULTIYEAR INVESTMENT PLAN

    The Committee includes bill language requiring a multiyear 
investment plan be submitted to the Committees on 
Appropriations with the fiscal year 2015 budget submission to 
Congress. As the OCIO develops the fiscal year 2014 plan, it 
shall take proper stock of all IT investments and identify and 
adopt best practices, such as those identified by GAO in an 
October 2011 report, GAO-12-7, to encourage proper management 
of these investments.

                 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SECURITY ACTIVITIES

    The Committee recommendation includes $45,000,000, for 
development and acquisition of IT equipment, software, 
services, and related activities. The Committee believes the 
OCIO leads and manages efforts vital to the continued 
modernization of the Department's IT infrastructure. 
Additionally, $54,200,000 is provided for data center 
consolidation in a general provision.
    The Committee is pleased with the Department's leadership 
in data center consolidation. The Committee agrees with the 
Department's position that these efforts will lead to 
operational efficiencies, reduced geographic footprint, data 
sharing synergies, reduced energy consumption, and clarity of 
mission throughout the Department. The Department reports that 
investment in data center consolidation of the first 10 data 
centers is already resulting in annual savings of $17,000,000 
and could result in savings of $3,000,000,000 by 2030.

  TRUSTED INTERNET CONNECTIONS/HUMAN RESOURCES INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

    The Department is directed to provide semiannual briefings 
to the Committee on its progress in developing trusted Internet 
connections and development of Human Resources Information 
Technology.

            SHARING AND SAFEGUARDING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

    The recommendation includes a $29,868,000 increase to 
implement information sharing and safeguarding measures to 
protect classified national security information. This is 
necessary in order to be compliant with measures resulting from 
Executive Order 13587--Structural Reforms to Improve the 
Security of Classified Networks and the Responsible Sharing and 
Safeguarding of Classified Information. The OCIO is to brief 
the Committee by April 15, 2014, on the implementation 
strategy, development schedule, and milestones for improving 
the protection of national security information held by the 
Department. The Committee also expects any structural reforms 
to be consistent with appropriate protections for privacy and 
civil liberties.

sharing of threat information, including activities of the 
Office of Intelligence and Analysis [I&A] and the Office of 
Operations Coordination.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $303,708,000 for Analysis and 
Operations. This is $5,520,000 below the amount requested and 
$18,147,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. The 
details of these recommendations are included in a classified 
annex accompanying this report.

                   DHS INTELLIGENCE EXPENDITURE PLAN

    The Committee requires the Department's Chief Intelligence 
Officer to submit an expenditure plan for fiscal year 2014 no 
later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act. The 
plan shall include the following:
  --fiscal year 2014 expenditures and staffing allotted for 
        each program as compared to fiscal years 2012 and 2013;
  --all funded versus on-board positions, including Federal 
        FTE, contractors, and reimbursable and nonreimbursable 
        detailees;
  --a plan, including dates or timeframes for achieving key 
        milestones;
  --allocation of funding within each PPA for individual 
        programs;
  --funding, by object classification, including a comparison 
        to fiscal years 2013 and 2012; and
  --the number of I&A-funded employees supporting organizations 
        outside I&A including those within and outside DHS.
    The expenditure plan shall focus the activities of the 
Office on areas where the Department can provide unique 
expertise or serve intelligence customers who are not supported 
by other components of the Intelligence Community, consistent 
with current statute and Executive orders, and in a way that 
does not impair intelligence support to the senior leadership 
of the Department of Homeland Security.

                     STATE AND LOCAL FUSION CENTERS

    The Committee directs I&A to continue semi-annual briefings 
on the State and Local Fusion Centers program.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $117,371,000 for the Office of 
Inspector General [OIG], $1,938,000 below the comparable amount 
requested and $3,633,000 below the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. In addition, the Committee includes bill language 
transferring $24,000,000 needed by the OIG for audits and 
investigations related to natural disasters from the Disaster 
Relief Fund [DRF]. The total funding level provided maintains 
OIG at a current services level including the resources 
requested to complete all 56 mandated 9/11 Act audits of DHS' 
State Homeland Security Program and Urban Area Security 
Initiative grants by the August 20, 2014, deadline. The 
Committee directs the Inspector General to submit a plan for 
expenditure for all funds no later than 30 days after the date 
of enactment of this act. For fiscal year 2015 and thereafter, 
OIG shall submit a detailed expenditure plan within its annual 
budget justification documents. This spend plan shall include 
all DRF transfers (which shall satisfy the requirements for 
notification of DRF transfers under section 503 of this act).

                     DISASTER RECOVERY EXPENDITURES

    The Committee supports the critical role OIG has in 
eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in disaster assistance 
programs. Further, the Committee notes that it is imperative 
for FEMA to make decisions on recovery assistance in a timely 
fashion, often with limited information in a chaotic post-
disaster environment. However, the Committee is concerned that 
the OIG execution of their role and a lack of clarity and 
consistency in FEMA policy and program execution are adversely 
affecting some Public Assistance applicants. In June 2012, OIG 
recommended that a grantee repay a Federal grant already 
awarded and obligated when it determined that FEMA incorrectly 
applied its regulations and policies for a disaster that 
occurred in June 2008. FEMA argued that deobligation of the 
project was not warranted since the evidence of substantial 
damage as a result of the disaster supported Federal assistance 
for the community's recovery. The unresolved matter was sent to 
the DHS Under Secretary for Management for final adjudication. 
The determination was the grantee did not have to repay the 
Federal grant since disaster damage warranted assistance. The 
Committee is concerned that the OIG Office of Emergency 
Management Oversight focus on ``after the fact'' reviews is not 
efficiently placed to prevent obligation of misused Federal 
funds and therefore causes unnecessary disruption for 
recovering communities by recommending deobligation several 
years afterwards.
    The Committee is mindful that the OIG review of disaster 
obligations is often several years after a disaster and the 
impact of the findings can have a severe effect on a community 
that has already obligated funding to specific projects with 
FEMA's approval in an effort to recover. While it is imperative 
for FEMA policies and rules be transparent; reasonably flexible 
to accommodate various recovery scenarios; and consistently 
applied, where appropriate; the sheer volume of OIG 
recommendations may challenge FEMA's capacity to execute 
meaningful and responsive policy changes. FEMA has concurred 
with a separate OIG finding that the Agency needs a significant 
review and revision of certain policies and methods of 
implementing rules and is currently undergoing a process to do 
so. The Committee expects this process to continue without 
delay. Further, the Committee expects FEMA and the OIG to 
partner fully in this process.
    The Administrator and the Inspector General are directed to 
provide a report to the Committee, no later than 120 days after 
the date of enactment of this act, outlining improvements that 
will be made by both OIG and FEMA to better implement disaster 
recovery programs and guard against waste, fraud, and abuse.

                          INTEGRITY OVERSIGHT

    The Committee remains concerned about the potential for 
increased corruption due to the rapid hiring in CBP and ICE 
since fiscal year 2005. Incidents continue to highlight the 
need for integrity oversight. To avoid corruption and 
misconduct, it is imperative that all officers and agents, 
especially new hires, receive comprehensive training in ethics 
and public integrity. This will be of particular importance 
should any final comprehensive immigration reform legislation 
authorize significant increases in hiring border and 
immigration personnel. The OIG provides ethics training to all 
agencies and is in charge of investigating all allegations of 
criminal misconduct throughout the Department. It is essential 
that the OIG, CBP, and ICE work jointly and cooperatively to 
combat corruption. The Committee has made a deliberate effort 
in the past several appropriations acts to provide additional 
funding specifically for integrity investigations. The 
Committee directs OIG to submit an expenditure plan of 
integrity oversight funds in coordination with CBP and ICE, 
which shall be submitted along with its annual expenditure 
plan. As discussed under the Office of the Secretary and 
Executive Management, the OIG shall work with the Department on 
the integrity aspect of the hiring strategy for implementing 
immigration reform legislation.

                     CONFERENCES AND SPECIAL EVENTS

    The Committee continues the requirement for OIG to report 
to the Committees not later than 30 days after the end of 
fiscal year 2014 on DHS spending on conferences, ceremonies, 
and similar events, based on quarterly reporting to OIG. The 
report shall substantiate DHS compliance with all applicable 
laws and regulations and describe in detail the total costs to 
the Government associated with events. It shall include the 
number of conferences held, the amount of funds obligated, and 
expenses by appropriation or other source of funding, including 
budget accounts and subaccounts used to pay for events.

                              OIG REVIEWS

    The Committee recognizes the importance of a competent and 
active Office of Inspector General to support strong 
congressional oversight and assist departmental leadership. 
Given this imperative, the Committee is concerned about recent 
charges of improper conduct by individuals within the Office of 
Inspector General. In addition, the most recent ``External 
Quality Control Review'' of the DHS OIG Audit Organization, 
issued on June 28, 2012, notes issues with DHS OIG policies, 
procedures, and practices--issues regarding the objectivity, 
credibility, and reliability of auditors' evaluation of 
testimonial evidence; the interference of auditors in 
investigations; and auditors' failure to obtain management 
review and sign-off prior to issuing final reports.
    In the report accompanying the Department of Homeland 
Security Appropriations Act, 2013, GAO was directed to review 
the OIG's functions and operations. The Committee looks forward 
to GAO's review and expects the Inspector General, the 
Secretary, and the Deputy Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget, as the executive chair of the Council of Inspectors 
General, to address, as appropriate, these issues expeditiously 
and refocus the DHS OIG on its important work.

                                 287(g)

    The Department of Homeland Security OIG has conducted an 
annual review of the 287(g) program since fiscal year 2009. 
Since then, the number of OIG recommendations has been reduced 
from 33 in 2009 to two in 2012. Additionally, the nature of the 
287(g) program has changed with the elimination of the Task 
Force model. Therefore, the OIG is directed to complete its 
final report on the 287(g) program and submit it to Congress. 
The Committee encourages the OIG to continue to review the 
implementation of the program as necessary through its annual 
oversight review process and keep the Committee informed of any 
significant changes.

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] Salaries and 
Expenses appropriation provides funds for border security, 
immigration, customs, agricultural inspections, regulating and 
facilitating international trade, collecting import duties, and 
enforcing U.S. trade laws. In addition to directly appropriated 
resources, fee collections are available for the operations of 
CBP from the following sources:
    Immigration Inspection User Fee.--CBP collects user fees to 
fund the costs of international inspections activities at 
airports and seaports, as authorized by the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356).
    Electronic System for Travel Authorization Fee.--CBP 
collects fees to cover the cost of operating and implementing a 
system to pre-screen visitors from countries participating in 
the Visa Waiver Program prior to their arrival in the United 
States to avoid security risks, as authorized by section 
711(h)(3)(B) of the 9/11 Act (Public Law 110-53).
    Immigration Enforcement Fine.--CBP collects fines from 
owners of transportation lines and persons for unauthorized 
landing of aliens, as authorized by the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356).
    Land Border Inspection Fee.--CBP collects fees for 
processing applications for the Dedicated Commuter Lanes 
program, the Automated Permit Ports program, the Canadian 
Border Boat Landing program, and both Canadian and Mexican Non-
Resident Alien Border Crossing Cards, as authorized by the 
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356).
    Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act [COBRA] 
Fee.--CBP collects fees for inspection services involving 
customs-related functions. The COBRA user fee statutory 
authority (19 U.S.C. 58c) specifies the types of expenses to be 
reimbursed and the order for the reimbursement of these types 
of expenses.
    Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Inspection 
Fee.--CBP receives as a transfer a distribution of agriculture 
inspection fees collected by the United States Department of 
Agriculture. The user fees, as authorized by the Food, 
Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (21 U.S.C. 
136), are charged to offset costs for the services related to 
the importation, entry, or exportation of animals and animal 
products.
    Global Entry User Fee.--CBP collects fees to cover the cost 
of a registered traveler program to expedite screening and 
processing of international passengers as authorized under the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, section 565(3)(B).
    U.S. Virgin Islands Fee Fund.--The U.S. Virgin Islands 
[USVI] are an unincorporated territory of the United States and 
although a U.S. territory, the USVI is expressly excluded from 
the definition of customs territory of the United States. The 
importation of goods into the USVI is governed by Virgin 
Islands law. CBP collects duties on behalf of the USVI and 
deposits them into the USVI Fee Fund. The account is now known 
as the U.S. Virgin Islands Fees Fund, in which duties and taxes 
collected in the USVI are deposited. The account in managed 
annually as a reimbursable account with any remaining funds 
remitted back to the USVI at the conclusion of the fiscal year.
    Puerto Rico Trust Fund.--Customs duties, taxes, and fees 
collected in Puerto Rico by CBP are deposited in the Puerto 
Rico Trust Fund. After providing for the expenses of 
administering CBP activities in Puerto Rico, the remaining 
amounts are transferred to the Treasurer of Puerto Rico 
pursuant to 48 U.S.C. sections 740 and 795.
    Small Airport User Fee.--The User Fee Airports Program 
authorized under 19 U.S.C. 58b and administered under 19 U.S.C. 
58c(b)(9)(A)(i), authorizes inspection services to be provided 
to participating small airports on a fully reimbursable basis. 
The fees charged under this program are set forth in a 
memorandum of agreement between the small airport facility and 
the agency, and may be adjusted annually as costs and 
requirements change.
    Unclaimed Goods.--Any goods entered or un-entered 
merchandise (except merchandise under section 557 of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1557), but including 
merchandise entered for transportation in bond or for 
exportation) which remain in Customs custody for 6 months from 
the date of importation or a lesser period for special 
merchandise as provided by section 127.28 (c), (d), and (h), 
and without all estimated duties and storage or other charges 
having been paid, shall be considered unclaimed and abandoned. 
This account represents the proceeds from the liquidation of 
that account.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $7,976,142,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses of U.S. Customs and Border Protection for fiscal year 
2014, including $3,274,000 from the Harbor Maintenance Trust 
Fund and, of which $2,237,000,000 is derived from the 
merchandise processing fee. This is $1,150,942,000 below the 
request and $302,932,000 below the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. More than two-thirds of the reductions in ``Salaries 
and Expenses'' have been moved to other accounts within CBP or 
other DHS agencies.
    The Committee includes bill language making available up to 
$150,000 for payment for rental space for preclearance 
operations and $1,000,000 for payments to informants. The 
Committee also includes bill language placing a $35,000 annual 
limit on overtime paid to any employee and capping official 
reception and representation expenses at $34,425. A new general 
provision is included to allow CBP to access collections 
associated with the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement 
Implementation Act, Public Law 112-42.
    The Committee does not include the proposed reduction of 
Border Patrol horse patrols, but includes the other proposed 
reductions including the closing of unnecessary inland Border 
Patrol stations. These resources are more urgently required on 
the border. Due to the need for flexibility in contracting and 
budgeting for information technology and other systems, the 
Committee has moved all funds for information technology as 
well as for Automated Targeting Systems from ``Salaries and 
Expenses'' to ``Automation Modernization'' so that CBP may take 
contracting advantage of the longer availability of these funds 
in the new account. Additionally, air and marine staffing funds 
have been moved from this account to ``Air and Marine 
Operations'', consistent with fiscal year 2013.
    The Committee denies the proposed transfer of US-VISIT to 
CBP for a total of $253,533,000. Instead, the Committee 
recommends continuation of the functional distribution outlined 
in Public Law 113-6. For that reason, the Committee 
recommendation reflects $12,284,000 from US-VISIT funds within 
the Office of Field Operation's Inspections, Trade, and Travel 
Facilitation at Ports of Entry PPA. This amount represents US-
VISIT program management and planning efforts associated with 
entry-exit policy and operations. Further, the Committee 
recommendation reflects an additional $16,741,600 to transfer 
the responsibility for the Arrival Departure Information System 
[ADIS] to CBP. CBP is responsible for policy and operations 
associated with processing legitimate travelers into and out of 
the country. The Committee directs the Department to submit its 
requests for these functions in the format established in 
Public Law 113-6 in its fiscal year 2015 and future requests.
    Increases above the request for travel facilitation are 
discussed later in this report.

                           FUNDING PRIORITIES

    As CBP is a ``personnel heavy'' agency, it is 
understandable that difficult choices have to be made when 
developing the budget request in an era of declining resources. 
However, as these choices are made in the short term, we must 
take into account their long-term consequences. Funding 
limitations under the Budget Control Act require this Committee 
to make difficult choices to maintain critical, targeted 
staffing decisions to secure the border while facilitating 
efficient processing of an increasing level of trade and 
travelers to this country. The Committee urges the Department 
and the Office of Management and Budget [OMB] to request 
sufficient resources in the fiscal year 2015 budget to sustain 
critical operations to avoid long-term negative impacts.

                    COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM

    Using the President's budget as a guide, the Committee 
recommends in this bill many border security related items 
which will have an impact on activities in fiscal year 2014 and 
in the years to come. This bill was drafted as a regular 
appropriations bill. It specifically is not attempting to 
predict what activities and programs would be authorized and 
appropriated as part of any final immigration reform 
legislation. This Committee received requests for hiring of 
additional CBP officers in specific locations, deployments of 
specific technology, and new construction at ports of entry, 
among many other items. Many of these are envisioned as part of 
an overall reform bill and were included in S. 744 passed by 
the Senate on June 27, 2013, but are inappropriate to be added 
to this bill at this time. Additionally, total funding 
available to the Committee places certain constraints on the 
Committee. Where feasible, the Committee has included 
recommendations from the President's budget which may begin to 
address some of these requirements until final legislation is 
enacted.

                             FINANCIAL PLAN

    To help facilitate congressional oversight, CBP is directed 
to submit to the Committee within 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act, a financial plan reflecting a detailed 
breakout of funding by office for each PPA in the ``Salaries 
and Expenses'' appropriation. This financial plan shall include 
a comparison by office to the prior year plan amount and actual 
expenditures for fiscal year 2013 and planned expenditures for 
fiscal year 2014.

              PORT OF ENTRY STAFFING AND RELIANCE ON FEES

    CBP's Office of Field Operations [OFO] operates 329 ports 
of entry [POEs] 24 hours a day and seven days a week, welcoming 
to the U.S. almost 1 million people daily by air, land, and 
sea. In addition to CBP's primary security mission, CBP is the 
second-largest government revenue generator for the U.S., after 
the Internal Revenue Service. On average, OFO collects 
$105,000,000 a day in fees, duties, and tariffs. In fiscal year 
2012, OFO processed $2,300,000,000,000 worth of trade through 
U.S. POEs.
    Travel volume is up 12 percent since fiscal year 2009 and 
is projected to increase 4-5 percent each year for the next 5 
years. In 2012, international travelers from the 10 largest 
countries visiting the U.S. spent more than $107,000,000,000.
    While trade and travel volumes are increasing at dramatic 
rates, OFO funding and staffing have been relatively flat--
contributing to challenges in providing adequate CBP officers 
[CBPO] to meet the demands of increasing workload, expanding 
requirements, and new facilities.
    After having directed CBP for more than 3 years to submit a 
revised workload staffing model, to justify any increased 
staffing requirements, CBP finally submitted to Congress its 
fiscal year 2013 Resource Optimization at Ports of Entry with 
President's budget request. This independently validated report 
identifies the staffing requirement and alternative funding 
strategies to increase revenue sources supporting additional 
staff. The model shows a current need for 1,543 additional 
CBPOs based on fiscal year 2012 volume levels. Also, in joint 
testimony before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on 
Homeland Security on April 17, 2013, CBP officials stated that 
a recent study by the National Center for Risk and Economic 
Analysis of Terrorism Events at the University of Southern 
California ``found that an increase or decrease in staffing at 
ports has an impact on wait times and, therefore, on the U.S. 
economy''. Initial estimates indicate that for every 1,000 
additional CBPOs, the United States can anticipate a 
$2,000,000,000 increase in Gross Domestic Product. Based on the 
continued growth in trade and travel volume, the CBPO need is 
considerably higher.
    OFO's two main user fees--the Immigration User Fee [IUF] 
and the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 
[COBRA] user fees--are also the two main user fees associated 
with CBP inspectional services. These fees do not represent 
full cost recovery for CBP, meaning the cost to perform the 
services for which the fees are charged is more than CBP 
receives in user fee collections. This gap in cost recovery has 
a significant impact since one-third of OFO's budget is 
dependent on user fees. This gap must be filled by increasingly 
scarce directly appropriated dollars.
    Due to the Budget Control Act, direct appropriations for 
most Federal activities are trending downwards. This includes 
appropriations for maintaining existing CBP officers as well as 
hiring additional CBPOs. Therefore, this bill funds a total 
increase of 1,850 CBPOs through a combination of $96,000,000 in 
direct appropriations for a total of 876 CBP officers and an 
additional 974 CBP officers funded through the IUF proposal 
included in the budget request. The Committee expects that the 
positions funded by the Immigration User Fee shall be deployed 
to airports experiencing the greatest level of wait times 
consistent with the congressional justification submitted with 
the President's fiscal year 2015 budget request.

              ANIMAL PLANT AND HEALTH INSPECTION SERVICES

    The Committee notes CBP has been engaged with the 
Department of Agriculture [USDA] Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service [APHIS] to ensure that the APHIS User Fees 
cover the full cost of inspection of agricultural products at 
our ports of entry [POEs]. The Committee strongly encourages 
the Secretary to develop and implement procedures to ensure 
revenue from these fees, transferred to the Department pursuant 
to section 421 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, primarily 
funds the salaries, benefits, overtime, and associated costs of 
CBP Agriculture Specialists. According to a recent briefing by 
CBP, both the House and Senate Agriculture and Appropriations 
Committees, as well as OMB, support the recommendations to 
adjust these fees to more accurately reflect the level of work 
conducted by USDA and CBP personnel. The Committee directs CBP 
to keep it regularly informed as these recommendations are 
implemented.
    The Committee urges CBP to continue to work with APHIS in 
order to facilitate the release of cargo at commercial import 
facilities by ensuring that CBP officials earn Cargo Release 
Authority certification for those species and groups of 
organisms listed in the Cargo Release Authority Plan. Such 
coordination will allow CBP officials to release cargo 
authorized by the Cargo Release Authority Plan while allowing 
APHIS entomologists, plant pathologists, and botanists to make 
release decisions upon discovery of those reportable organisms 
that may pose a threat to the Nation's agricultural security.

                  IMPACT OF FEES ON AIRPORT ACTIVITIES

    To ensure the maximum level of transparency is provided to 
justify these increases, the Committee directs CBP to provide 
an annual electronic report to the general public and 
interested stakeholders, and posted on its Web site, on the 
amount of fee funded activity that occurred over the preceding 
fiscal year at airports. This report shall include all fees, 
such as APHIS, IUF, COBRA, and the Small Airport User Fee. The 
report will also provide annual average wait time data for high 
volume port locations receiving additional IUF fee resources, 
demonstrating a direct connection between service levels and 
resources. It is important for CBP to deploy CBPOs at critical 
international arrivals airports which experience the greatest 
delays and longest processing times.

               INFORMATION SHARING WITH PORT AUTHORITIES

    The Committee notes that it has yet to receive the report 
required in Senate Report 112-169 on the specific steps CBP can 
take to advance its relationship, and specifically its 
information sharing on things such as staffing models and 
constraints, with port authorities. This report should include 
descriptions of high-level stakeholder coordination in the form 
of working groups, conference calls, operations, and other 
interactions. The report shall also address any legal 
impediment CBP has determined prohibits it from providing this 
information to airport authorities and other appropriate 
officials. If there are legal prohibitions, the report shall 
delineate them and provide alternative language and proposals, 
as applicable, to amend the relevant laws. The Committee 
directs CBP to immediately submit this report.

                         LAND BORDER FEE STUDY

    The President's budget request included a new general 
provision authorizing CBP to conduct a study assessing the 
feasibility and cost relating to establishing and collecting a 
new land border crossing fee for both land border pedestrians 
and passenger vehicles along the northern and southern borders. 
This proposal is ill-advised and would have an immediate 
negative impact on border communities and frequent border 
crossers. The Committee has heard strong bipartisan objections 
to its inclusion. CBP officers at our ports of entry are 
trained to provide security of our borders while facilitating 
legitimate travel and trade. They are not toll collectors. A 
general provision has been included in the bill prohibiting CBP 
from conducting any studies for establishing and collecting any 
new land border fee. This provision does not affect any 
existing trusted traveler program such as FAST, NEXUS, SENTRI, 
and the like.

          FACILITATING TRAVEL AND ENHANCING THE ENTRY PROCESS

    CBP and the Vancouver Airport Authority recently launched a 
new program, Automated Passport Control, an expedited customs 
entry process that will allow eligible passengers traveling 
from Vancouver International Airport to the United States to 
clear customs more efficiently, while still ensuring the same 
high standard of safety and security. The Committee notes this 
partnership is the first of its kind and is intended to help 
travelers move more quickly through the CBP preclearance 
inspection process by allowing entry of passport information at 
a self-service kiosk.
    Acting CBP Commissioner, Thomas S. Winkowski, said, 
``Increasing efficiency and streamlining processes are critical 
components of CBP's modernization efforts at ports of entry. 
This will allow for faster processing and increased focus on 
the traveler.'' It is innovative thinking about how CBP can 
improve the traveler experience with this and other programs 
such as Global Entry, that this Committee has strongly 
supported. In order to implement the vision of the President's 
January 19, 2012, Executive order to increase the number of 
international travelers to the United States, programs such as 
this must be expanded.
    The Committee fully funds the $10,800,000 request for the 
CBP mobile program and the $8,000,000 request for integrated 
traveler processing. Additionally, the Committee recommends 
$10,000,000 above the request for targeted traveler enhancement 
programs including, but not limited to, additional mobile 
devices such as Enforcement Link Mobile devices, handheld 
license plate and document readers, additional Global Entry 
kiosks, expanding the integrated traveler process, and 
expanding activities at existing preclearance locations. CBP 
shall focus its efforts to expedite traveler processing at the 
air and land ports of entry with the highest volume of 
passenger traffic. CBP shall brief the Committee no later than 
90 days after the date of enactment of this act on its plan to 
deploy this additional equipment and activity and the potential 
impact it will have on reducing wait times. Additionally, the 
Committee reminds CBP of its April 25, 2012, report to Congress 
entitled ``Improving Entry Process for Visitors to the United 
States'' which stated that CBPOs are the ``first face of the 
U.S. Government that travelers see at POEs. As a visible symbol 
of our Nation, CBP officers have an important responsibility. 
Training provides new CBP officers an understanding of the 
expectations and standards, in terms of conduct, workplace 
environment, demeanor, etiquette, respect for cultural 
diversity, and interpersonal communications.'' The Committee 
directs CBP to maintain these standards as part of its training 
regime and to regularly provide refresher training to all 
CBPOs.

                          CROSS-BORDER TUNNELS

    Tunnels along the United States-Mexico border remain an 
attractive alternative to overland drug smuggling because of 
increased security measures and aggressive enforcement activity 
on traditional cross-border routes. The Committee supports the 
ongoing efforts of the DHS Tunnel Task Force to detect and 
respond to new tunnels, directs continued submission of the 
required tunnel report, and encourages CBP to dedicate 
sufficient resources to continue detecting, responding to, and 
remediating tunnels as they are encountered.

                    CONDUCT AND INTEGRITY OVERSIGHT

    Since Congress initiated the rapid increase in CBP staffing 
in 2005, the Committee has been concerned about the potential 
for increased corruption by CBP personnel. The Committee 
remains committed to addressing this problem. The Committee 
fully funds the request for CBP to continue to expand integrity 
training for its officers, conduct investigations, reduce the 
backlog of reviews and polygraphs, and meet the requirements of 
the Anti-Border Corruption Act of 2011 (Public Law 111-338).
    The Committee directs the Deputy Secretary to continue to 
oversee the coordination of the Office of the Inspector General 
and CBP on program integrity issues.

                          BORDER PATROL AGENTS

    As Secretary Napolitano noted in April 2013, between fiscal 
years 2009 and 2012, DHS seized 39 percent more drugs, 71 
percent more currency, and 189 percent more weapons along the 
Southwest border as compared to fiscal years 2005 through 2008. 
The number of Border Patrol agents has grown from 9,800 in 2001 
to 21,370 today; ICE has deployed a quarter of its personnel to 
the Southwest border since 2009; and CBP has completed 651 
miles of fencing in key areas identified by the Border Patrol. 
CBP has also installed 159 large-scale nonintrusive inspection 
devices and deployed 360 canine teams, increasing those numbers 
from 137 and 341 respectively since 2011.
    While Border Patrol apprehensions slightly increased in 
fiscal year 2012 to 364,678, apprehensions remain at the lowest 
levels since 1974. Funds in this bill maintain an appropriate 
balance of border security which is imperative to maintain as 
the Congress continues to debate immigration reform and its 
component parts regarding border security and interior 
enforcement.
    Included in the amount recommended by the Committee for 
Border Security and Control is a total of $3,729,394,000 for 
hiring, paying, equipping, and training Border Patrol agents. 
Bill language is included mandating a floor of not less than 
21,370 Border Patrol agents on-board throughout fiscal year 
2014. With the funds in this act, there will continue to be 
21,370 Border Patrol agents on duty, more than double the 9,951 
agents on board at the end of fiscal year 2002.

                     NORTHERN BORDER PORT STAFFING

    The Committee remains concerned about CBP officer staffing 
levels for Northern Border ports of entry. The Committee 
believes that many of the concerns about Northern Border 
staffing could be allayed by more complete reporting to 
Congress about CBP's Northern Border staffing plans. The 
Committee directs CBP to submit an updated resource allocation 
model with the fiscal year 2015 budget detailing specific 
staffing and funding for, and implementation of, planned 
Northern Border enforcement initiatives by port of entry. The 
Committee also directs CBP to provide a briefing to the 
Committee not later than December 1, 2013, on the CBP officer 
staffing requirements on the Northern Border based on increased 
trade flows and the current threat environment.

                COORDINATION OF EFFORTS ON INDIAN LANDS

    The Committee notes that the recent GAO report titled 
``Partnership Agreements and Enhanced Oversight Could 
Strengthen Coordination of Efforts on Indian Reservations'' 
suggests that CBP personnel can greatly improve efforts to 
notify tribes of law enforcement activities occurring on 
reservation lands and cultivate a productive partnership with 
border-tribal law enforcement officials. The Committee requests 
a joint briefing from DHS and CBP on the implementation of the 
GAO recommendations.

                    ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS IN THE FIELD

    The Committee encourages CBP and ICE to ensure that any 
jurisdictional disputes with regard to the apprehension of 
undocumented individuals in the field do not hamper the 
Department's overall mission to secure our borders and enforce 
our immigration laws.

                           TRADE ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee fully funds the $3,000,000 budget request to 
further consolidate single transaction bonds [STBs] in order to 
improve duty collection, as recommended by GAO. These funds 
would improve the collection of revenue owed to the Federal 
Government by enabling CBP to develop an automated system for 
STBs. Currently, STBs are submitted and maintained on paper at 
all of the CBP port locations. Automation would allow a 
centralized office to oversee and administer the STB program 
and to develop the necessary expertise to verify the adequacy 
of the STBs.
    CBP analysis has found strong evidence to conclude that 
trade fraud and evasion is widespread in many commodity 
sectors--particularly for goods from China, which account for 
46 percent of the anti-dumping and countervailing duties 
collected. The Committee remains focused on the need for all 
Federal Government agencies involved in international trade to 
aggressively enforce existing trade laws. It has become clear 
that there are specific actions that CBP and ICE, together with 
the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State and the United 
States Trade Representative, can take without the need for 
additional legislation. According to CBP's own statistics, more 
than $1,000,000,000 in duties related to antidumping from 2001 
to 2010 have yet to be collected. To help combat this problem, 
CBP has created a multi-disciplinary Reengineering Dumping 
[RED] Team to review the antidumping and countervailing duty 
[AD/CVD] process and to develop enforcement solutions. To the 
extent these duties are unable to be collected CBP shall issue 
a statement as to the reasons why.
    Additionally, for CBP's AD/CVD enforcement, the Centers of 
Excellence and Expertise [CEEs] also centralize AD/CVD 
functions for the industries and importers covered by the 
respective CEE. The CEEs help increase uniformity and expertise 
across CBP for administration of AD/CVD entries and AD/CVD 
enforcement. The Committee commends CBP for taking these 
actions and directs it to brief the Committees not less than 
twice a year on its efforts to improve the enforcement and 
collection process.

        ANTIDUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING DUTY ENFORCEMENT REPORTS

    The Committee has ensured that, within the amounts provided 
in this account, there will be sufficient funds to administer 
the ongoing requirements of section 754 of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675c), referenced in subtitle F of title VII 
of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-171; 120 
Stat. 154).
    The Committee directs CBP to continue to work with the 
Departments of Justice and the Treasury (and all other relevant 
agencies) to increase collections, and provide a public report 
on an annual basis within 30 days of each year's distributions 
under the law. The report should summarize CBP's efforts to 
collect past due amounts and increase current collections, 
particularly with respect to cases involving unfairly traded 
United States imports from China. The report shall provide the 
same level of detail as required under this section in Senate 
Report 112-169.
    The Committee further directs the Secretary to work with 
the Secretary of Commerce to identify opportunities for the 
Department of Commerce to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and 
clarity of liquidation instructions sent to CBP. Increased 
attention and interagency coordination in these areas could 
help ensure that steps in the collection of duties are 
completed in a more expeditious manner. The Secretary is 
directed to report within 180 days after the date of enactment 
of this act on the steps it has taken in conjunction with the 
Department of Commerce to address these issues. Consistent with 
section 691a of Public Law 103-182, the North American Free 
Trade Agreement Implementing Act of 1993, the Committee directs 
the Commissioner of Customs to submit to Congress before the 
60th day of each fiscal year a report regarding the collection 
of duties imposed under the AD/CVD laws during the preceding 
fiscal year.
    Separately, CBP is directed to report to the Committee on 
collection of the outstanding $1,000,000,000 in AD/CVD duties, 
including the number of claims, the value of each claim, the 
stage of collection for each claim and the date on which the 
claim was referred for further action to either the CBP Chief 
Counsel or Department of Justice. This report shall be 
submitted to the Committee not later than 180 days after the 
date of enactment of this act. This report will include the 
steps that have been taken to recover funds and will also 
include the challenges that prevent collection. CBP shall 
publish on its Web site a version of this report that provides 
appropriate privacy and trade sensitivity protections.
    The Committee further directs CBP to provide the Committee 
with a separate report that includes information concerning 
each AD/CVD order for which more than $25,000,000 in assessed 
AD/CVD duties secured by single entry bonds accepted by CBP 
pursuant to 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1675(a)(2)(B)(iii) remains 
uncollected more than 2 years after the dates of liquidation of 
the secured entries. This report shall be submitted to the 
Committee not later than 180 days after the date of enactment 
of this act. For each relevant AD/CVD order, the report shall 
include the bond's identification number, the date of the entry 
secured by the bond, and the bond's face value. It shall also 
include the liquidation status of each entry, and if 
applicable, the date of liquidation, the amount of bond 
principal received by CBP, the amount of interest received by 
CBP, and the amount of any offer in compromise accepted by CBP. 
Further, the report shall include information about whether CBP 
has demanded performance on the bond or has withdrawn or 
abandoned its demand due to one or more defects in the bond, 
CBP's inability to locate the bond, or expiration of the 
applicable statute of limitations. For each relevant AD/CVD 
order for which CBP has demanded performance on the bond, the 
report shall detail whether CBP's demand for bond performance 
was protested, and if applicable, the date on which the protest 
was filed, whether CBP has issued a decision on the protest, 
whether a subsequent appeal has been filed by the protesting 
party, and if applicable, the status of the appeal including 
whether a court summons has been issued, the date on which the 
summons was issued, and the amount of funds being held by CBP 
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2637(a). The report shall also 
include a detailed strategy, including a specific series of 
actions and corresponding deadlines for completing those 
actions, to collect under the bond the antidumping or 
countervailing duties that remain uncollected.
    The Committee directs CBP, in consultation with the 
Department of Commerce and the Department of Treasury, to 
report to the Committee on how requiring cash deposits of 
estimated AD/CVD during new shipper reviews (in statute) would 
strengthen the administration of the Nation's AD and CVD laws. 
Under current law, the Department of Commerce is required to 
allow importers to bond for cash deposits of estimated AD/CVD 
during new shipper reviews. The Committee urges the United 
States Trade Representative to include in the principal 
negotiating objectives of the United States the objectives of 
preventing evasion of the trade remedy laws of the United 
States through information exchanges and site visits for any 
trade agreements under negotiation as of the date of this 
report or future trade agreement negotiations.

                 TRADE COMPLIANCE--INFORMATION SHARING

    The Committee understands that current law may 
unintentionally prohibit the Department of Commerce from 
sharing proprietary information with CBP vital to determining 
violations or claims with respect to any provision of the 
Tariff Act of 1930. The Committee urges the Department to 
coordinate jointly with the Department of Commerce on a 
legislative proposal to amend the appropriate section of the 
United States Code to remove any legal barriers to the sharing 
of appropriate and necessary information between these prime 
Federal trade compliance and enforcement agencies.

                               JONES ACT

    CBP is charged with enforcement of U.S. cabotage laws. The 
Jones Act provides for the national and economic security of 
the United States by supporting a strong U.S. merchant marine. 
By virtue of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, as amended 
by Public Law 106-580, the coastwise laws apply to marine 
transportation between points and places in the United States, 
including the Outer Continental Shelf. U.S. vessels, mariners, 
and shipyards have been negatively impacted and underutilized 
as a result of lax enforcement and prior rulings inconsistent 
with congressional intent. The Committee urges the Department 
to levy penalties for previously documented violations, 
continue working with the Offshore Marine Service Association 
in order to investigate future potential violations, and 
dedicate adequate resources to vigorously enforce the Jones Act 
on the Outer Continental Shelf. The Committee is very concerned 
that 53 waivers of the Jones Act were issued in fiscal year 
2011, enabling foreign-flagged vessels to transport oil 
released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in response to 
extreme fluctuations in the price of gas.
    The Committee is also concerned about the lack of 
transparency in issuing these waivers. A general provision is 
included prohibiting funds from being used to issue future 
waivers related to a release from the Strategic Petroleum 
Reserve until the Secretary has consulted with the Departments 
of Energy and Transportation and representatives of the United 
States flag maritime industry and taken adequate steps to 
ensure the use of United States flag vessels. The Secretary 
shall notify the Congress within 2 business days of any request 
for a waiver, not solely waivers requested to transport oil 
released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
    The Committee directs CBP to develop a system to track the 
status of all Jones Act violations, from the time they are 
reported until assessed penalties have been collected or there 
is a finding of no violation and the charges are dismissed. The 
Committee also directs CBP to make information available to the 
public and the Committees, on a quarterly basis, about specific 
Jones Act violations, findings of fact, parties determined to 
be at fault, amount of penalty assessments, and status of 
collections.

                      NORTHERN BORDER COOPERATION

    The Committee recognizes the economic importance of 
facilitating the flow of cross border goods and people between 
the United States and Canada. To this end, the Joint United 
States-Canada ``Beyond the Border'' Action Plan, issued April 
4, 2011, included several recommendations to enhance the 
economic relationship while increasing cross border security. 
On June 17, 2013, a cargo truck pre-inspection pilot began at 
the Pacific Highway crossing adjacent to Surrey, British 
Colombia across the border from Blaine, Washington. This 
project is a collaborative effort by CBP, Canada Border 
Services Agency [CBSA], and Public Safety Canada under the 
``Beyond the Border'' plan. Phase I of this pilot is designed 
as a ``proof of concept'' to determine the viability of 
assigning CBP officers to Canadian border crossings to pre-
inspect southbound trucks, drivers, and cargo prior to arrival 
into the United States. It will also test the viability of 
developed technologies and joint U.S.-Canada procedures to 
conduct CBP primary truck processing in Canada. CBP will 
monitor wait times and provide traffic mitigation as needed. 
This pilot may prove that other innovative initiatives can be 
undertaken on our northern and southern borders to enhance 
security and facilitate legitimate trade.
    Only July 2, 2013, CBP announced it was beginning Phase II 
of the pilot--implementation of the Entry/Exit information 
system. Under Phase II, DHS and the CBSA will expand the 
exchange of biographic entry data collected on third-country 
nationals (those who are neither citizens of Canada nor of the 
United States), permanent residents of Canada who are not U.S. 
citizens, and lawful permanent residents of the United States 
who are not Canadian citizens, to all automated land ports of 
entry at the common border, including all major land border 
crossings. It is expected that a coordinated Entry/Exit 
information system will facilitate exchanges of entry 
information such that an entry into country becomes an exit 
from the other. If the pilot operates as planned it will help 
the United States and Canada identify persons who potentially 
overstay their lawful period of admission; better monitor the 
departure of persons subject to removal orders; and verify that 
residency requirements are being met by applicants for 
continued eligibility in immigration programs.
    Additionally, on June 26, 2013, a joint United States-
Canadian progress report was released entitled ``Facilitating 
the Conduct of Cross-Border Business.'' This report, which is a 
deliverable of the Beyond the Border Action Plan, describes 
bilateral efforts to ensure business travelers benefit from 
more efficient and predictable border clearance processes. The 
Committee directs CBP to provide a briefing on both of the 
pilots and the cross-border business plan not later than 60 
days after the date of enactment of this act.

                        ADVANCED TRAINING CENTER

    CBP has one of the Nation's largest cadres of armed Federal 
law enforcement personnel and having a full-scale advanced 
training facility focused on the agency's specialized missions 
is critical. Included in the amount recommended by the 
Committee is $40,000,000, as proposed in the budget, for 
programmatic expenses (including salaries and benefits) and the 
National Training Plan at the Advanced Training Center [ATC]. 
The ATC is providing advanced firearms, tactical, and 
leadership training to CBP officers and agents across the 
country, as well as other Federal and law enforcement agencies. 
With the establishment of the Advanced Training Center 
Revolving Fund [ATCRF], pursuant to the fiscal year 2012 
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, the 
Committee directs CBP to continue to utilize ATCRF funds in 
addition to any funds appropriated annually by the Congress.
    Pursuant to Public Law 106-246, the training to be 
conducted at the Center shall be configured in a manner so as 
to not duplicate or displace any Federal law enforcement 
program of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center [FLETC]. 
Training currently being conducted at a FLETC facility shall 
not be moved to the Center.

                  TRAINING REGARDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    CBP plays a critical role in identifying potential human 
trafficking victims as they enter the United States. The 
Committee encourages CBP to continue to work with appropriate 
nonprofit organizations and victim service providers to improve 
the training of CBP officers in the field to assist in the 
identification of human trafficking victims, especially 
children, and provide appropriate referrals to victim service 
organizations. Further, the Committee encourages the 
Commissioner to post the National Human Trafficking Resource 
Center hotline, email address, and Web site information in all 
U.S. ports of entry.

                     FOREIGN MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

    The Committee recognizes that trucks carrying foreign 
municipal solid waste entering the United States from Canada 
represent potential homeland security and environmental threats 
to our Nation. The Committee is also aware of successful 
efforts to address this threat, which have resulted in a 
significant reduction in municipally managed waste shipments to 
the United States. However, nearly 350 trash trucks still cross 
U.S. borders every day. The Committee urges DHS, in conjunction 
with CBP, to work with the Finance Committee--the appropriate 
authorizing committee--to consider proposing to raise the 
current Customs User Fee for trucks carrying foreign municipal 
solid waste into the United States and include any such 
proposal in the fiscal year 2015 budget through the appropriate 
authorizing mechanism.

                      TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT DELAYS

    According to the Department, Border Patrol apprehensions 
have decreased 50 percent since fiscal year 2008. In the Tucson 
sector apprehensions dropped 44 percent between fiscal years 
2010-2012. This is the lowest level of apprehensions in Tucson 
in 18 years. Since fiscal year 2005, the Committee has been a 
strong and active supporter of the efforts to secure our 
Southwest border through a strategic combination of fencing, 
tactical infrastructure, and technology, combined with a 
doubling of the size of the Border Patrol. In fact, at the 
initiation of this Committee, Congress has appropriated more 
than $2,400,000,000 in regular, supplemental, and emergency 
funding above the amounts requested by this and the previous 
President for this account. These funds have been used to 
construct the 651 miles of fencing and border infrastructure 
mandated by the Secure Fence Act, as amended, and they have 
been used to bring more technology and security to Border 
Patrol agents than has ever been available.
    On April 6, 2012, the Department issued a request for 
proposals to build and deploy the next set of integrated fixed 
towers [IFTs] for cameras and radars within Arizona. CBP 
initially estimated that the contract would be awarded in the 
first quarter of 2013 and it still intends to initiate the 
deployments in Douglas and Casa Grande, Arizona. Operational 
field testing on the numerous bids CBP received is ongoing as 
of June 2013, but the contract award has slipped yet again--to 
the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and deliveries of the 
IFTs are now anticipated to start by fiscal year 2015. While 
the Committee is encouraged that there appears to be proper 
oversight of contracts and that contractors are being held to 
fulfilling their obligations for use of taxpayer dollars, this 
program has now been delayed for over 2 years. Additionally, 
the Committee is concerned about concurrent deployment of these 
systems before it has been proven that they actually work in 
real-life situations and has included language prohibiting 
concurrent deployment of IFTs. The Department has indicated 
that approximately $580,000,000 remains available in 
unobligated prior year balances for border technology as of 
June 1, 2013. Given these strong concerns, the Committee 
rescinds $61,783,000 in unobligated balances from this account 
that are not required for fiscal year 2014.

                            NORTHERN BORDER

    Included in the Committee's recommendation is $10,000,000, 
as requested, for enhancing low-flying aircraft surveillance 
and maritime detection technology along the Northern Border.
    The Committee recognizes that incidents of drug smuggling 
along our Northern Border are increasing, and that more efforts 
need to be undertaken to address this growing problem. In 
previous years, DHS and the Department of Defense cooperated on 
Operation Outlook, a program that used sophisticated military 
radar technology along the Northern Border to identify low-
flying aircraft that would otherwise not have been caught with 
the current technology used by DHS. Though that operation was 
highly successful, it was only temporary in nature and covered 
only one sector of the Northern Border. To better uncover and 
combat the smuggling of drugs by low-flying aircraft in the 
future, and to assist in developing a comprehensive plan to 
combat narcotics smuggling along the Northern Border, the 
Committee urges the Department, through partnerships between 
CBP and the Department of Defense, to use military radar 
technologies to the fullest extent possible along the Northern 
Border.

                           TETHERED AREOSTATS

    The budget proposes to transfer operation and ownership of 
8 existing tethered aerostat systems [TARS] from the Department 
of Defense to DHS and the Committee approved their transfer 
effective on July 1, 2013. These blimp-mounted radars allow DHS 
to identify low-flying aircraft in the border region, and have 
proven to be a cost-effective and worthwhile way to monitor the 
border. The Committee recommends $37,400,000 for this activity, 
as requested. The Committee understands CBP is studying whether 
it needs to restore the Puerto Rico TARS and, if so, at what 
cost. CBP has also indicated that it is evaluating how to 
utilize TARS best, which could be a different configuration 
than is currently deployed. CBP is to brief the Committee on 
its plans no later than September 13, 2013.

                              BORDER ROADS

    The Committee directs CBP to work with counties along the 
United States-Mexico border to identify unimproved county roads 
that the Border Patrol requires the use of and that provide 
critical access to the border region for the purpose of 
maintaining border security. The Committee directs CBP to 
provide a briefing on the extent to which these roads are used, 
their impact on daily border security operations, and the 
feasibility of incorporating the maintenance and repair of any 
identified high-priority access roads into its Tactical 
Infrastructure Maintenance and Repair program not later than 90 
days after the date of enactment of this act.

                            INVASIVE SPECIES

    The Committee is pleased with the continued progress CBP 
has made, in partnership with the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, on controlling carrizo cane, an invasive species 
along the lower Rio Grande. As the carrizo cane program 
progresses towards eventual sustainment, the Committee directs 
CBP, with its partners, to provide an updated briefing on the 
efforts, including using biological control projects, on salt 
cedar.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $755,819,000 for Air and Marine 
Operations, of which $472,501,000 is to remain available until 
September 30, 2015. This is an increase of $328,118,000 above

    The Committee strongly supports CBP's continued efforts to 
recapitalize its air and marine assets. Working with the Office 
of Air and Marine, the Committee has provided resources to meet 
the Department's border security requirements in the air, 
coastal, and riverine environments as delineated by the CBP Air 
and Marine Recapitalization Plan. Resources to address some of 
these requirements are provided in this bill. The Committee 
notes the lengthy period of time it takes to procure certain 
types of aircraft and other air systems because the bulk of the 
systems are being acquired by the Department of Defense [DOD] 
and CBP is fitting into DOD's production lines. At the same 
time, these are mobile border security assets, able to be 
transferred rapidly to respond to actual and emerging threats.

   AGING AVIATION ASSETS AND STRATEGIC RECAPITALIZATION REQUIREMENTS

    The President's budget proposes an unacceptably steep, 37 
percent cut to the aviation procurement budget and an 11 
percent reduction to operations and maintenance compared to the 
fiscal year 2013 enacted level. CBP's fleet of aircraft is 
increasingly aged. More planes are being retired than are being 
replaced at a time when there is an increased demand for their 
use in the counterdrug, alien smuggling, and disaster response 
missions. More than 50 percent of the aircraft are 35 years old 
on average. The proposed reduction would result in fewer 
replacement aircraft being purchased and combined aircraft 
flight hours being cut to only an estimated 62,386 flight hours 
for this vital mission--a cut of more than 40 percent from the 
peak level of 106,600 hours in fiscal year 2010, and a 
reduction of over 20 percent from flight hour allocations for 
fiscal year 2012.
    The Committee recognizes that since the merger of the 
legacy U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs Service aviation 
programs under CBP in 2005, the CBP's Office of Air and Marine 
has dramatically increased the efficiency and effectiveness of 
CBP air operations in support of the Department and its 
international, Federal, State, local, and tribal partners. Many 
of these efficiencies were captured through the acquisition of 
technologies that then drove or facilitated changes in CBP air 
operations including decreased operations cycle time, effective 
asset procurement/modernization, and innovative sensor system 
integration. These operational developments have then resulted 
in expanded mission functionality, vastly improved detection 
capability, real-time customer support, decreased mishaps and 
system downtime, which have consequently provided a significant 
increase in overall CBP aviation mission effectiveness. The 
Committee understands that the aircraft recapitalization plan 
is nearly complete, with more than $1,000,000,000 appropriated 
by Congress from fiscal year 2006 through fiscal year 2013 to 
accomplish the objectives laid out in the long-range plan to 
replace/upgrade CBP's aging fleet of aircraft and marine 
vessels.
    The budget request includes funding to continue the P-3 
aircraft service life extension effort, to purchase two 
additional multirole enforcement aircraft [MEAs], a number of 
marine vessels, and additional sensor upgrades. But at this 
reduced level of procurement funding, it will take over 13 
years to fully recapitalize CBP's fleet. For instance, the MEA 
provides border protection, law enforcement, and rapid response 
contingency deployment capabilities. Since 2009, DHS has 
budgeted for eight MEA systems, which does not support the most 
efficient production line. The Committee encourages the 
Department to work with industry to develop a procurement 
strategy to obtain a more robust production rate and to explore 
the cost savings of replacing its aging legacy fleet. As these 
air assets are fully mobile, they are capable of rapidly 
responding to an emerging threat anywhere in the country.
    To address the requirement to replace aging aircraft and 
enhance the capabilities of existing systems, the Committee 
fully funds the request and recommends the following increases 
above the request:
  --$17,300,000 to procure two additional VADER radar systems, 
        and
  --$27,500,000 above the request to restore total AMO flight 
        hours for all aircraft to approximately 84,000 hours.
    These increases will provide crucial aerial support and 
slow the steady decline in flight hours in support of the 
Border Patrol mission over the past 5 years.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $471,278,000, for construction and 
facilities management activities of U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection [CBP], to remain available until September 30, 2018. 
This is $221,000 below the amount requested and $238,024,000

                ADDITIONAL LAND BORDER PORT REQUIREMENTS

    The Committee notes that the American Recovery and 
Reinvestment Act of 2009, (Public Law 111-5) provided 
$420,000,000 for construction, repairs, maintenance, and 
security upgrades to CBP-owned ports of entry [POEs]. Of the 
167 land border ports of entry, CBP owns 41. The rest are owned 
and administered by the General Services Administration [GSA] 
or are privately owned and leased, and one is owned by the 
National Park Service. The Committee is pleased that through 
good stewardship and creative contract management, CBP was able 
to reconstruct or renovate 31 CBP-owned ports of entry, 28 of 
which were on the Northern Border.
    Previously, the Committee directed DHS, GSA, and the Office 
of Management and Budget to develop a multiyear strategy to 
address the growth of trade and passenger processing at our 
land POEs with maintaining security. In response, the 
President's budget proposes to transfer from GSA to CBP--via a 
delegation of authority--the operation, maintenance, and repair 
of LPOEs. GSA retains the authority over major construction 
(including funding, contracting, and oversight). The Committee 
supports this recommendation and fully funds the request. Not 
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this act, 
CBP and GSA jointly shall brief the Committee on implementation 
of the delegation of authority.
    Additionally, the Committee notes its continued interest in 
CBP exploring alternate options for funding POE construction 
and improvements, including expanded use of public-private 
partnerships, and was pleased to see such a proposal included 
in the President's budget request. The Committee includes a 
modified version of this proposal as a general provision in 
Title V.

                      FIVE-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PLAN

    The Committee reminds CBP that the fiscal year 2012 
Department of Homeland Security Act made permanent the 
requirement that a 5-year plan for all Federal land border 
ports of entry shall be submitted annually with the President's 
budget request. The Committee directs the Department to 
continue to work with the GSA on its nationwide strategy to 
prioritize and address the infrastructure needs at land border 
POEs and to comply with the requirements of the Public 
Buildings Act of 1959 (40 U.S.C. 3301) and seek necessary 
funding.
    The Committee further directs the Department to encourage 
the use of small businesses in all phases of the contracting 
process for construction and renovation of POEs.

Law 112-25.
\2\Includes emergency funding of $855,000 in the Disaster Relief 
Appropriations Act, 2013 (division A of Public Law 113-2).

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $5,013,945,000, for Salaries and 
Expenses of ICE for fiscal year 2014. This is $57,123,000 above 
the request and $374,193,000 below the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013. The Committee includes bill language placing 
a $35,000 limit on overtime paid to any employee; making up to 
$10,000,000 available for special operations; making up to 
$2,000,000 available for the payment of informants; making up 
to $11,216,000 available to reimburse other Federal agencies 
for the costs associated with the care, maintenance, and 
repatriation of smuggled illegal aliens; making not less than 
$305,000 available for promotion of public awareness of the 
child pornography tipline and anti-child exploitation 
activities; making not less than $5,400,000 available to 
facilitate agreements consistent with section 287(g) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act; limiting the use of funds for 
facilitating agreements consistent with section 287(g) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act to the same activities funded 
in fiscal year 2005; making $15,770,000 available for 
activities to enforce laws against forced child labor, of which 
$6,000,000 shall remain available until expended; making up to 
$11,475 available for official reception and representation 
expenses; and making $10,300,000 available until September 30, 
2015, for the Visa Security Program.
    The Committee recognizes that ICE has had to make difficult 
budget savings and downward adjustments to its base funding. 
While certain targeted increases supported by this legislation 
are proposed, ICE is on the verge of being forced to cut into 
the bone of critical operations, especially investigations and 
technology. This path is not sustainable and the Office of 
Management and Budget must ensure that sufficient resources are 
proposed in the President's fiscal year 2015 budget address 
these national security requirements.
    As discussed in greater detail below, the Committee 
recommends increases for domestic investigations, detention 
beds, alternatives to detention, and the criminal alien 
program.

recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2013 and budget

                    TRADE COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee notes that Intellectual Property Rights [IPR] 
violations is a significant revenue source for transnational 
criminal organizations including Mexican drug cartels. 
According to officials at the IPR Coordination Center, these 
violations are a low-risk/high-profit type of crime. The Center 
sees more organized crime groups engaging in these types of 
illegal activities because of the high-dollar value to them.
    The Committee fully funds the request for trade enforcement 
activities, including the $5,600,000 increase proposed in the 
budget to support intellectual property rights and commercial 
trade fraud investigations, including undercover equipment, 
translation and transcription of court-ordered wiretaps, 
commercial fraud training, and outreach at the IPR Center. The 
Committee urges ICE to prioritize investigations involving 
illicit trade of dangerous goods that could be harmful to the 
public, including counterfeit pharmaceuticals and tainted good.

                             INVESTIGATIONS

    The Committee supports the proposed $8,800,000 increase for 
human smuggling investigations conducted by ICE through a 
variety of strike forces and teams both domestically and abroad 
and recommends an additional $10,000,000 for priority 
investigations into human smuggling and trafficking, 
counterproliferation, anti-gang, and drug smuggling 
investigations. ICE shall submit an expenditure plan breaking 
out how it proposes to allocate all resources provided in this 
act for domestic investigations not later than 90 days after 
the date of enactment of this act. This plan shall detail both 
financial resources as well as the personnel dedicated to each 
mission area and shall be at the same level of detail as the 
quarterly investigations activities report.
    ICE also is directed to maintain its relationship with the 
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in regards 
to its ongoing support for investigations and other child 
exploitation activities.
    Additionally, the Committee supports the work of the 
National Gang Unit and encourages the Department and ICE to 
continue these aggressive investigations, specifically of gangs 
of national significance which are perpetuating much of the 
violence in our major urban areas while also engaging in a 
variety of illicit activity including international drug, gun, 
and human trafficking.

                     LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT CENTER

    The Committee provides funding of $34,400,000, $5,000,000 
above the request and $5,000,000 above the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013. The Law Enforcement Support Center [LESC] is 
DHS' national center which provides information about criminal 
aliens and absconders to the law enforcement community, 
responding to over 1.3 million Immigration Alien Queries 
annually, and provides critical support to ICE field offices in 
connection with single or large scale enforcement efforts. The 
LESC is also an important component of Secure Communities, 
which was fully deployed to 3,181 jurisdictions across the 
United States in fiscal year 2013, with the LESC serving as the 
single point of contact for Secure Communities-related queries.
    The Committee notes that the LESC and the Fugitive 
Operations Support Center [FOSC] play critical roles supporting 
local law enforcement officials while performing law 
enforcement actions in the field, as well as conducting 
analyses about the status and location of fugitive aliens. The 
Committee understands that both the LESC and the FOSC are 
playing important and growing roles in analysis of visa 
overstays. ICE's Compliance Enforcement Unit is responsible for 
the initial review of all overstay records segregating them 
based on enforcement priorities and those in priority 10 are 
referred to the FOSC for analysis. FOSC analysis includes 
running the referred individuals against a variety of public 
and law enforcement databases. The FOSC is responsible for 
analyzing the backlog of visa overstays about which little is 
known, in part through matching biographic information, and if 
available, biometric. Given the importance of resolving visa 
overstays, the Committee strongly encourages FOSC to coordinate 
its activities regarding biometrics with the Office of 
Biometric Identity Management [OBIM] and the FBI, especially 
ensuring that records that are passed to FOSC for analysis 
include either the biometric or the fingerprint identification 
number from OBIM in order to speed information sharing with the 
FBI. The Committee directs ICE to brief the Committee within 90 
days after the date of enactment of this act on the support the 
LESC and FOSC provide to ICE in regard to visa overstay 
analysis, including its coordination with other agencies and 
the resources and staffing supporting this effort.
    The Committee recommends $34,400,000, $5,000,000 above the 
request, so that LESC can adequately support the full 
deployment of Secure Communities with the necessary full-time 
law enforcement personnel and related resources. Within the 
increased funds provided, ICE is encouraged to evaluate the 
need for additional resources such as improved data transfer 
capabilities for FOSC's role in visa overstay analysis. 
Further, in order to promote efficiency, the Committee 
recommends that ICE take steps to ensure that current 
operations being carried out at the LESC remain centralized at 
the LESC facility and are not unnecessarily duplicated in other 
parts of the country.

                    ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS IN THE FIELD

    The Committee encourages ICE and CBP to ensure that any 
jurisdictional disputes with regard to the apprehension of 
undocumented individuals in the field do not hamper the 
Department's overall mission to secure our borders and enforce 
our immigration laws.

                         VISA SECURITY PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $31,541,000, as requested, to 
fully fund visa security programs and activities. Of the total 
amount provided for the Visa Security Program, bill language is 
included making $10,300,000 available for obligation through 
September 30, 2015.

                        IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

    The role of the Appropriations Committee is to provide the 
resources necessary to enforce enacted laws and Administration 
policy. The Committee takes seriously its role with regard to 
providing sufficient resources within constrained budgets to 
effectively and efficiently enforce immigration laws.
    Maintaining an adequate number of detention beds is 
critical to ensuring the integrity of our entire immigration 
enforcement system, including border enforcement, while at the 
same time preventing a return to the ill-advised ``catch and 
release'' policy. In fiscal year 2012, ICE removed a total of 
409,849 aliens, including 225,390 convicted criminal aliens, 
compared with 240,665 removed in fiscal year 2004. At the end 
of the first quarter of the current fiscal year, ICE had 
removed 86,861 aliens, including 46,989 convicted criminals. It 
is imperative that sufficient detention bed space be maintained 
so that aliens who pose the greatest threat to the community or 
who are required by current law to be detained can be. The 
Committee notes that the number of aliens in detention has 
spiked at certain periods during the fiscal year. Current law 
requires mandatory detention of individuals entering this 
country claiming credible fear of persecution in their home 
countries and the numbers of apprehended aliens making these 
claims in locations such as the Rio Grande Valley sector have 
skyrocketed. For instance, during the week ending May 24, 2013, 
there were 39,088 aliens in detention beds nationwide, but this 
figure has dropped to 32,657 as of June 28, 2013. It is 
incumbent on ICE to manage its detention bed resources to 
ensure there are sufficient detention beds. The Committee 
directs ICE to take appropriate measures to reduce the daily 
bed rate charged to the Federal Government through a 
competitive process in contracting for or otherwise obtaining 
detention beds while ensuring that the most recent applicable 
detention standards, including health standards, are met.
    Recognizing the funds requested in the budget are 
insufficient to support the requested bed level, the Committee 
recommends $1,879,239,000, $41,000,000 above the amount 
requested, for a minimum of 31,800 detention beds, as 
requested. Bill language is also included permitting the 
Secretary to propose to reprogram funds necessary to ensure the 
detention of aliens prioritized for removal, subject to the 
reprogramming guidelines contained in section 503.

                      DETENTION OF PREGNANT WOMEN

    The Performance-Based National Detention Standards 2011 
Section 2.15 Use of Force, issued by ICE, specifically 
prohibits the use of restraints on pregnant women or women in 
post-delivery recuperation when they do not present a flight 
risk or a danger to their own life or the lives of others 
absent ``extraordinary circumstances'' as specified in 
subsection ``F''. The Committee expects ICE to make certain 
that all detention or other contracts and agreements ensure 
that the Use of Force exception for pregnant women is fully 
implemented for all women held under an ICE detainer.

                       ALTERNATIVES TO DETENTION

    The Committee recommends $96,181,000 for the Alternatives 
to Detention [ATD] program. This is $23,746,000 above the 
request and $249,000 below the enacted level. In the past few 
years, ICE has not effectively maximized the use of the ATD 
program. The Committee directs ICE to provide greater 
transparency on its use of the program--including providing 
quarterly briefings on the results of any evaluations of the 
program by field offices. ICE should post on its Web site any 
contractor evaluations and OIG reports related to the ATD 
program.

                           SECURE COMMUNITIES

    The Committee continues its support of the Secure 
Communities program and notes it has been implemented 
nationwide. As recommended in the budget, the Committee 
realigns $74,300,000 from Secure Communities to the Criminal 
Alien Program and $36,369,000 to Custody Operations.
    The Committee directs ICE to immediately resolve the open 
items listed in OIG-12-66, publish its response on its Web 
site, and brief the Committees on the specific steps it has 
taken to resolve/implement the recommendations.
    The Committee has included a provision, as requested, 
ensuring that all illegal aliens encountered when enforcing our 
immigration laws are apprehended.

                                 287(g)

    The Committee recommends $24,300,000, as requested, for the 
287(g) program.

                 EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION REVIEW

    The Assistant Secretary of ICE is directed to brief the 
Committee not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on how the funds provided in Public Law 113-6 for 
system improvements, including permissive authority to transfer 
from ICE to the Department of Justice's Executive Office of 
Immigration Review [EOIR], for reducing the non-detained docket 
were applied nationwide, and the specific projects which have 
been undertaken with EOIR to make improvements and expedite 
action on the non-detained docket.

                                 ALIENS

    As noted in Senate Report 112-169, it is important for ICE 
to institute appropriate policies and measures to ensure that 
U.S. citizen children of illegal aliens receive all necessary 
and appropriate treatment throughout the immigration 
enforcement process. The Committee is aware that the Urban 
Institute and others are conducting a study, funded by the 
Department of Health and Human Services, focused on all aspects 
of this issue including the number of children affected by the 
detention and removal of a parent, the impact of family 
separation and loss of income on the well-being of children, 
and the short, intermediate, and long-term economic, health, 
and social service needs of these children. The final report is 
due to be released in early 2014. The Committee directs ICE to 
provide all appropriate assistance to those conducting the 
study and to implement any recommendations from the report. ICE 
shall keep the Committee regularly updated on activities 
affecting U.S. citizen children.
    The Committee directs ICE to continue to submit the 
semiannual report on ``Deportation of Parents of U.S.-Born 
Citizens''.

                    DETENTION AND REMOVAL REPORTING

    ICE is directed to continue to provide semiannual detention 
and removal reports at the same level of detail as directed in 
Senate Report 112-74.

                  TRAINING REGARDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING

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

    The Transportation Security Administration Aviation 
Security account provides for Federal aviation security, 
including screening of all passengers and baggage, deployment 
of on-site law enforcement, continuation of a uniform set of 
background requirements for airport and airline personnel, and 
deployment of explosives detection technology.
    The aviation security activities include funding for: 
Federal transportation security officers [TSOs] and private 
contract screeners; air cargo security; procurement, 
installation, and maintenance of explosives detection systems 
[EDS]; checkpoint technologies and support; and other aviation 
regulation and enforcement activities.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $4,939,393,000 for aviation 
security activities. This is $28,643,000 below the amount 
requested and $109,291,000 below the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. Of this amount, the Committee recommends not to 
exceed $15,300 for official reception and representation 
expenses.

                         AVIATION SECURITY FEES

    The Congressional Budget Office, in its analysis of the 
President's budget, has re-estimated discretionary collections 
from aviation security fees to be $2,120,000,000 under existing 
law. According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office, 
this amount is made up of $1,700,000,000 from passengers and 
$420,000,000 from air carriers. CBO also estimates that an 
additional $305,000,000 in passenger fees would be collected 
from the Administration's proposal to modify aviation passenger 
fees in fiscal year 2014 by applying a flat fee of $5 per one-
way trip. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (Public 
Law 107-71) mandated that TSA impose a flat fee of $2.50 fee 
for a one-way trip with no stops and a $5 fee for a trip with 
one or more stops. Under the Administration's proposal, 
$105,000,000 of the additional collections is to be dedicated 
to aviation security costs and $200,000,000 to debt reduction.
    The recommendation assumes collection of the security fees 
estimated under existing law and does not include the 
Administration's legislative proposal to increase the fee. 
While the reasoning behind the proposed increase has merit and 
is recommended in both the House and Senate budget resolutions, 
the Committee believes this proposal should be channeled 
through the appropriate legislative committees.

                          SCREENING OPERATIONS

    The Committee recommends $3,850,557,000 for TSA Screening 
Operations. This is $48,968,000 below the amount requested and 
$121,863,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.

recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2013 and budget

                     PRIVATIZED SCREENING AIRPORTS

    The Committee recommends $153,190,000 for privatized 
screening airports. This is the same amount as requested and 
$5,615,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    TSA shall adjust its PPA line items, and notify the 
Committee within 10 days, to account for any changes in private 
screening contracts, including new awards under the Screener 
Partnership Program [SPP], or the movement from privatized 
screening into Federal screening. TSA shall also notify the 
Committee if the agency expects to spend less than the 
appropriated amount due to situations where no additional 
airports express interest in converting to privatized 
screening, or where airports currently using privatized 
screening convert to using Federal screeners. The Committee 
also expects to be briefed on any proposed changes being 
considered for the SPP program. While the TSA contracted 
independent study directed below is undertaken and further 
reviewed by GAO, the Committee directs TSA to include indirect 
costs, as recommended by GAO (GAO-09-27), in its cost 
comparisons.

                PRIVATIZED VERSUS FEDERALIZED SCREENING

    The Committee believes that the role of TSA is to make air 
travel as efficient and convenient as possible, without 
sacrificing security. Every passenger should receive the 
highest level of security, be treated with dignity and respect, 
and expect minimal wait times of 10 minutes or less. TSA has 
struggled to maintain these standards since its creation in 
2001. The question of whether a qualified private screening 
company could perform this security service better and at the 
same or lower cost as TSA has not been fully answered since the 
agency has been in existence. A recent GAO report (GAO-13-208) 
recommended mechanisms to monitor private screening performance 
separately from Federal screeners which could benefit TSA in 
identifying positive or negative trends and ensure that all 
airports operate at their optimal level. The Committee believes 
that such a comparison would benefit TSA, airports considering 
privatization, and the traveling public. Therefore, within the 
funding provided in the ``Aviation Security'' appropriation, 
the Committee instructs the TSA Administrator to allocate 
resources for an independent study of the performance of 
federalized airports compared to privatized airports. The study 
shall include, but not be limited to, security effectiveness, 
cost, throughput, wait times, management efficiencies, and 
customer satisfaction. At a minimum, the study should compare a 
privatized airport to a Federalized airport in each of the five 
airport categories (CAT X, I, II, III, and IV) and be completed 
within 1 year from the date of enactment of this act. With 
respect to TSA cost estimates, the study shall include indirect 
costs as recommended by GAO in report (GAO-09-27R). A copy of 
this study shall also be provided to GAO for review. GAO shall 
brief the Committee within 90 days of receipt of the study on 
its assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the report.

             SCREENER PERSONNEL, COMPENSATION, AND BENEFITS

    The Committee recommends $2,982,847,000 for Screener 
Personnel, Compensation, and Benefits. This is $50,679,000 
below the amount requested and $93,464,000 below the amount 
provided in fiscal year 2013. Because TSA has removed 250 
backscatter AIT machines from the field, staffing for those 
machines is no longer necessary. Therefore, the recommended 
amount for AIT staffing is reduced by $28,000,000 below the 
request.
    The Committee does not include a statutory cap on TSA 
screening personnel. Consistent with the 9/11 Act, the 
Secretary of Homeland Security shall recruit and hire screeners 
as may be necessary to provide appropriate levels of aviation 
security and to ensure that average passenger wait times do not 
exceed 10 minutes.
    Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this 
act, TSA shall brief the Committee on the Aviation Screening 
Assessment Program's performance testing results and how the 
agency is adapting to address vulnerabilities.

                      SCREENER TRAINING AND OTHER

    The Committee recommends $226,857,000 for Screener Training 
and Other. This is $79,000 below the amount requested and 
$2,048,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Funds 
are provided to support training of TSOs and other direct costs 
associated with TSO operations, such as: consumable supplies, 
checkpoint janitorial services, travel for the National 
Deployment Force, uniform allowances, hazardous materials 
disposal, and a model workforce program. The recommendation 
reflects the requested realignment of funding from other 
accounts to better align programmatic activities.

                            CUSTOMER SERVICE

    TSA has recently initiated a program to train volunteer 
Transportation Security Officers to become Passenger Support 
Specialists [PSS]. The job of the TSOs in this program is to 
aid passengers who need extra assistance at the checkpoint. 
Additional training is provided to the TSOs to help resolve 
traveler-related screening concerns and assist travelers with 
disabilities and medical conditions. The Committee believes 
this initiative could drastically improve customer service if 
implemented agency-wide and directs TSA to include PSS training 
in basic TSO training.

                      BEHAVIOR DETECTION OFFICERS

    On Thursday, June 6, 2013, the DHS OIG released a report 
(OIG-13-91) on TSA's Screening of Passengers by Observation 
Techniques program, where behavior detection officers screen 
passengers by observing their behavior in order to detect 
characteristics of a high-risk passenger. The report found the 
following: ``TSA did not (1) assess the effectiveness of the 
Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques program, (2) 
have a comprehensive training program, (3) ensure outreach to 
its partners, or (4) have a financial plan''. According to the 
OIG, TSA concurred with the recommendations and is in the 
process of implementing them. TSA is directed to brief the 
Committee not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on the progress being made to implement the OIG 
recommendations.

                           CHECKPOINT SUPPORT

    The Committee recommends $105,309,000 for Checkpoint 
Support. This is $1,932,000 above the amount requested and 
$9,805,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Funds 
are provided to field test and deploy equipment for passenger 
screening, carry-on baggage screening, checkpoint 
reconfiguration, electronic surveillance of checkpoints, and 
operational integration of systems. As stated in the budget 
request, currently deployed technologies include walk-through 
metal detectors, explosives trace detection, bottled liquid 
scanners, chemical analysis devices, advanced technology 
systems, and Advanced Imaging Technology [AIT]. The budget also 
indicates that two new technologies will begin deployment in 
fiscal year 2014, credential authentication technology and 
portable explosives detection trace detectors, and development 
of automated wait time systems will continue. The 
recommendation includes an additional $2,000,000 to establish 
technology pilots to evaluate the effectiveness of exit lane 
screening solutions. This increase is discussed later in this 
report.
    The Committee encourages TSA to pursue the development and 
deployment of systems that will increase security at the 
checkpoint while offering passengers the benefit of reduced 
divestment. This should include the development of improved 
explosives detection and AIT systems with lower false alarm 
rates, more effective resolution, improved protection of 
privacy and civil rights, and the ability to simultaneously 
scan shoes for threats.

               ADVANCED INTEGRATED SCREENING TECHNOLOGIES

    Pursuant to a statutory requirement in the bill, TSA is to 
continue providing a report on advanced integrated passenger 
screening technologies for the most effective security of 
passengers and baggage not later than 90 days after the date of 
enactment of this act. The report provides a useful description 
of existing and emerging equipment capable of detecting threats 
concealed on passengers and in baggage. The Committee has added 
a new element to the report, which is a requirement to include 
projected funding levels for the next five fiscal years for 
each technology discussed in the report. The information 
contained in this report should be shared with TSA's industry 
partners, to the maximum extent practicable, to allow for 
necessary research, planning, and development of passenger and 
baggage screening technologies. By adding a multi-year 
requirement to this report, a separate 5-year strategic plan of 
investments is no longer required.

                      ADVANCED IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

    TSA is to continue its frequent briefings on AIT, which is 
used to screen passengers for metallic and non-metallic 
threats, including weapons, explosives, and other objects 
concealed under layers of clothing. The briefings are to 
include: procurement details; cost; schedule; associated 
staffing requirements; utilization rates; deployments; 
throughput rates; progress on the development of AIT-2 and 
next-generation units; and any changes to requirements for full 
operating capability.

                    RISK-BASED SCREENING INITIATIVES

    TSA should be commended for streamlining screening 
procedures for Pre-Check travelers, children under 12, senior 
citizens, flight attendants, and active duty military 
personnel. But today, the vast majority of Americans who fly 
are still being processed through an ineffective one-size-fits-
all approach. Closing that gap will yield security, budgetary, 
and economic benefits to both the agency and the flying public.
    For Pre-Check, TSA must offer enrollment opportunities that 
can reach beyond the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Global 
Entry program and elite frequent fliers if a truly risk-based 
aviation security system is to be put in place. The Committee 
understands that TSA is considering the launch of a TSA Pre-
Check Trusted Traveler program that will enable travelers who 
do not have a passport, or those who do not want to travel 
internationally (or those not interested in Global Entry 
participation), to directly apply for TSA Pre-Check 
eligibility. TSA is also considering the use of third-party 
vendors to prescreen passengers for expedited screening using 
commercial information. These are commonsense modifications to 
the program that will help TSA meet its goal of one in four 
members of the traveling public being eligible for expedited 
screening by the end of 2013 and 50 percent eligibility by the 
end of calendar year 2014.
    To encourage implementation of pre-check expansion 
initiatives, the Committee includes bill language directing the 
Administrator to certify that one in four members of the 
traveling public is eligible for expedited screening by the end 
of calendar year 2013 and requires a strategy to expand the 
eligibility of the traveling public to 50 percent by the end of 
calendar year 2014. TSA shall also continue to encourage TSA 
Pre-Check participating airlines to provide reciprocal 
recognition of eligible frequent flyers.

                           EXIT LANE SECURITY

    The budget request includes a reduction of $88,100,000 and 
over 2,000 positions as a result of transitioning access 
control at exit lanes from TSA to commercial airports. 
According to the agency, the current fiscal environment has 
caused the prioritization of resources on the physical 
screening of passengers and their belongings. Exit lanes are 
locations where the public, generally passengers departing the 
airport, may exit the sterile area into the public area. 
Currently, TSA controls access to approximately 355 of the 956 
exit lanes at the Nation's commercial airports. This security 
posture has been in place primarily at exit lanes that are 
collocated with a screening checkpoint. TSA has proposed an 
amendment to the Airport Security Program that would require 
airport operators to assume access control responsibility at 
exit lanes controlled by TSA. Before implementing the proposed 
amendment, the TSA Administrator is to certify to the Committee 
that security standards will remain at or above current levels 
and airports affected by this policy will have a variety of low 
cost technology solutions available to them to carry out this 
new exit lane responsibility, thereby reducing the burden on 
airport operators. A recent exit lane security study conducted 
by the National Safe Skies Alliance at the request of TSA found 
that airport exit lanes can be secured with appropriate 
technologies that increase the level of security while 
simultaneously reducing the cost to secure each exit lane. The 
Committee has included an additional $2,000,000 within the 
checkpoint support PPA to establish technology pilots to 
evaluate the effectiveness of these exit lane screening 
solutions.
    Before implementing this new policy, TSA is to brief the 
Committee on its transition plan, including the roles and 
responsibilities for clearing select individuals that currently 
enter through exit lanes, such as law enforcement officers, 
Federal Air Marshals, and known crewmembers. Additionally, TSA 
shall note any airports where transitioning exit lane 
responsibility does not result in adjustments to staffing at 
such airports.

                     EQUIPMENT INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

    The Committee understands that TSA has been working to 
implement improvements based on the recent report by the DHS 
Inspector General (OIG-13-82) regarding the procurement, 
deployment, and storage of airport security-related equipment. 
The report found that TSA ``stored unusable or obsolete 
equipment, maintained inappropriate safety stock levels, and 
did not develop an inventory management process that 
systematically deploys screening equipment.'' Additionally TSA 
did not use all of its available storage space. The Committee 
understands that TSA has since reduced its leasable warehouse 
space, reducing costs by 21 percent, expedited the removal of 
surplus equipment in its inventory, and reduced the amount of 
screening equipment in storage to a small fraction of overall 
agency and Federal Government-wide equipment inventory. TSA 
shall periodically update the Committee as it continues to 
improve its inventory management procedures.

                      EXPLOSIVES DETECTION SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommends $83,845,000 for Explosives 
Detection Systems procurement and installation. This is 
$142,000 below the amount requested and $16,007,000 below the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2013. An additional $250,000,000 
in mandatory spending will be available from Aviation Security 
Capital Fund [ASCF] fee collections. The total discretionary 
and mandatory funding will allow TSA to purchase and install 
approximately 56 EDS units in fiscal year 2014 and fund 23 
facility modification projects.
    The Committee notes that approximately $560,000,000 in 
unobligated/uncommitted prior year balances remain for EDS 
procurement and installation, some of which have remained 
unspent for over 6 years. There is no reason to maintain such 
high carryover balances for such a long period of time. TSA is 
to update the Committee monthly on obligations for these 
balances, including the airport projects being implemented and 
planned, as well as a schedule for completion.
    The Committee understands that there are multiple EDS 
technologies in the process of being certified or qualified by 
TSA at the same time that facility modifications for checked 
baggage screening optimization are being planned at numerous 
airports. The Committee recognizes that TSA conducts extensive 
and necessary operational field tests with the screening 
systems prior to placing them on the qualified products list to 
ensure reliable performance of EDS in the field. Given that 
these next generation EDS systems have the potential to screen 
1,400 more bags per hour compared to current generation 
machines, TSA is encouraged to accelerate this process, to the 
maximum extent practicable, to ensure that optimal systems are 
able to be considered in airport designs for checked baggage 
screening systems and available for deployment in a more 
expedient manner. The Committee expects that TSA will share 
relevant cost/benefit data about next generation EDS systems 
with airports that are planning optimization projects to 
replace EDS equipment at the end of its useful life. In 
addition, the Committee directs TSA to further expedite the 
acquisition of qualified systems by establishing development 
gateways whereby capable third party testing facilities can 
assist in accelerating technologies through the qualification 
process and improve TSA's ability to more efficiently test, 
acquire, and deploy effective and suitable technologies.
    Section 44923 of title 49 requires that the $250,000,000 in 
annual mandatory funding deposited into the ASCF is to be 
available for airport security improvement projects, such as 
facility modifications. However, procurement and installation 
of EDS equipment associated with these projects is not 
permitted. With a diminishing base of airport applications 
seeking large improvement projects and the need to replace 
aging EDS machines currently deployed at airports, the 
recommendation continues bill language, as requested, to permit 
ASCF funding to be used to procure and install EDS equipment 
during fiscal year 2014. This will allow TSA to more 
effectively, economically, and expeditiously plan and implement 
the acquisition and replacement of existing EDS units. TSA is 
to work with the appropriate committees of jurisdiction if it 
desires a permanent solution to this problem.
    The Committee also directs TSA to submit its formal EDS 
recapitalization plan as described in the budget request no 
later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this act. In 
addition, the report is to include a replacement plan for 
explosives trace detection [ETD] systems that are reaching the 
end of their operational service life and their locations (both 
for checked baggage and passenger screening). TSA is to provide 
a briefing to the Committee not later than 60 days after the 
date of enactment of this act explaining its timeline and 
progress toward completion of operational testing and 
evaluation of next generation ETD systems.

           EXPENDITURE PLANS FOR EDS/CHECKPOINT TECHNOLOGIES

    The Committee includes statutory language under the 
``Transportation Security Support'' appropriation withholding 
the obligation of $20,000,000 for Headquarters Administration 
until TSA submits to the Committee, no later than 60 days after 
the date of enactment of this act, detailed expenditure plans 
for fiscal year 2014 for checkpoint security and EDS 
refurbishment, procurement, and installations on an airport-by-
airport basis. The withholding is included to encourage timely 
submissions of materials necessary for robust and informed 
oversight. The plans shall include specific technologies for 
purchase, program schedules and major milestones, a schedule 
for obligation of the funds, recapitalization priorities, 
status of operational testing for each passenger screening 
technology under development, and a table detailing actual 
versus anticipated unobligated balances at the close of the 
fiscal year. The plan shall also include details on passenger 
screening pilot programs that are in progress or being 
considered for implementation in fiscal year 2014. Information 
in this section is to include a summary of the pilot program 
describing what the program is attempting to achieve; potential 
capabilities and benefits of the program; the airports where 
the pilots will be operating; funding commitments; and plans 
for future expansion. The Committee expects TSA to include more 
detailed program schedules for passenger screening technologies 
included in the expenditure plan. Schedules should include all 
milestones from the issuance of a request for proposal to 
deployment. TSA shall brief the Committee at the end of the 
second, third, and fourth quarters with an update on EDS and 
checkpoint expenditures, including an explanation of any 
deviation from the original plan.

   INSTALLATION OF OPTIMAL BAGGAGE SCREENING SYSTEMS AND FTE SAVINGS

    With the funding provided in this act and in prior 
appropriations acts for EDS procurement and installation, TSA 
is able to greatly expedite the deployment of in-line checked 
baggage screening systems, thereby permitting a reduction in 
personnel. For instance, by the end of fiscal year 2014, TSA 
estimates that 262 airports will have optimal checked baggage 
screening solutions. TSA shall report to the Committees, in 
tandem with the annual budget request, on the savings achieved 
and anticipated by fiscal year from the installation of new in-
line systems.

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

    As required by the 9/11 Act, TSA is to give funding 
consideration to airports that incurred eligible costs for EDS 
and that were not recipients of funding agreements. The fiscal 
year 2014 EDS expenditure plan shall identify airports eligible 
for funding pursuant to section 1604(b)(2) of Public Law 110-53 
and funding, if any, allocated to reimburse those airports.

             SCREENING TECHNOLOGY MAINTENANCE AND UTILITIES

    The Committee recommends $298,509,000 for Screening 
Technology Maintenance and Utilities. This is the same amount 
as requested and $10,250,000 below the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013. The reduction below fiscal year 2013 reflects 
requested reductions identified for administrative savings, 
longer warranties, more efficient screening security equipment, 
and a high unobligated balance.

              AVIATION SECURITY DIRECTION AND ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee recommends $1,088,836,000 for Aviation 
Security Direction and Enforcement. This is $20,325,000 above 
the amount requested and $12,572,000 above the amount provided 
in fiscal year 2013. The following table summarizes the 
Committee's recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2013 
and budget request levels:

               AVIATION REGULATION AND OTHER ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee recommends $353,187,000 for Aviation 
Regulation and Other Enforcement. This is $1,463,000 below the 
amount requested and $14,781,000 below the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013. The recommended amount provides for law 
enforcement and regulatory activities at airports to: ensure 
compliance with required security measures, respond to security 
incidents, and provide international support for worldwide 
security requirements. The recommended amount provides 
$88,700,000 for the National Canine Program, as requested, 
which helps support 921 teams in fiscal year 2014. Another 
$6,700,000 for the National Canine Program is funded through 
the ``Surface Transportation Security'' appropriation. TSA 
funded canine teams have proven to be a reliable, effective, 
and efficient way to screen for explosive devices. Since the 
beginning of fiscal year 2007 a total of 452 canine teams have 
been added, an increase of over 87 percent.
    In the 2003 Vision 100--Century of Aviation Reauthorization 
Act, Congress directed TSA to issue ``final regulations to 
ensure the security of foreign and domestic aircraft repair 
stations''. In a 2011 letter to stakeholders, TSA stated its 
expectation that approval and publication of the final rule was 
anticipated by the fourth quarter of calendar year 2012. Today, 
the rule still has not been published. The Committee urges OMB 
to expedite its review of the final rule and subsequent 
publication by TSA.

                     AIRPORT MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT

    The Committee recommends $588,317,000 for Airport 
Management and Support. This is $2,554,000 below the amount 
requested and $26,406,000 above the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. Funds are provided for: the workforce to support TSA 
Federal security directors; Bomb Appraisal Officers; Explosives 
Security Specialists; the Transportation Security Operations 
Center; airport rent and furniture; a vehicle fleet; airport 
parking; and employee transit benefits. The Committee includes 
the requested realignment of funds from the ``Transportation 
Security Support'', ``Surface Transportation'', and ``Federal 
Air Marshals'' appropriations to merge like costs into one 
account.

     FEDERAL FLIGHT DECK OFFICER AND FLIGHT CREW TRAINING PROGRAMS

    The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for the Federal Flight 
Deck Officer [FFDO] and Flight Crew Training programs. This is 
$25,000,000 above the amount requested and $289,000 above the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Funds are provided to 
deputize qualified airline pilots who volunteer to be Federal 
law enforcement officers and to provide initial and recurrent 
law enforcement training. Funds are also provided for the Crew 
Member Self-Defense Training program for the purpose of 
teaching crew members basic self-defense concepts and 
techniques.
    The Committee disagrees with the request, which proposes 
that the FFDO program be funded by the airlines through 
reimbursable agreements with the Federal Law Enforcement 
Training Center. The proposed cut would prevent dedicated 
flight crews who volunteer for this program from receiving 
training that could protect commercial flights and the 
passengers on them.

                               AIR CARGO

    The Committee recommends $122,332,000 for Air Cargo 
security. This is $658,000 below the amount requested and 
$658,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Funds 
are provided to secure the air cargo supply chain, conveyances, 
and people.
    The Committee continues a statutory provision requiring the 
TSA Administrator to either certify that 100-percent screening 
of inbound cargo has been met or submit a strategy for 
compliance with the 100-percent mandate as stipulated under 
title 44901(g) of title 49, United States Code. According to 
the Department, as of December 3, 2012, all air carriers were 
required to be in compliance with the 100-percent screening 
requirement for air cargo. TSA is currently in the process of 
compiling data to verify compliance and expects to execute the 
certification in the late summer of 2013. TSA is to brief the 
Committee if the certification is delayed beyond September 3, 
2013.
    The Committee includes statutory language under 
``Transportation Security Support'' restricting $20,000,000 
from being obligated for headquarters administration until TSA 
submits to the Committee, no later than 60 days after the date 
of enactment of this act, an expenditure plan on the allocation 
of air cargo funds, including carryover balances. Due to delays 
in receiving the air cargo expenditure plan in prior years, the 
withholding is included to encourage timely submissions of 
materials necessary for robust and informed oversight.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $108,618,000 for Surface 
Transportation Security. This is $713,000 below the amount 
requested and $15,636,000 below the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. Funds are available to assess the risk of terrorist 
attacks for all non-aviation transportation modes, issue 
regulations to improve the security of those modes, and enforce 
regulations to ensure the protection of the transportation 
system. The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2013 and budget 
request levels:

        SURFACE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY STAFFING AND OPERATIONS

    The Committee recommends $35,262,000 for Surface 
Transportation Security Staffing and Operations. This is 
$171,000 below the amount requested and $1,043,000 below the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2013.

         SURFACE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY INSPECTORS AND CANINES

    The Committee recommends $73,356,000 for Surface 
Transportation Security Inspectors and Canines. This is 
$542,000 below the amount requested and $14,593,000 below the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    Since 2001, terrorist attacks on mass transit, buses, and 
passenger rail have resulted in more than 3,900 deaths and 
14,000 injuries worldwide. In October 2012, Federal authorities 
arrested a man in northern Virginia for conspiring to bomb 
Metrorail stations in the Washington, DC region and in April 
2013, authorities arrested two men of planning attacks against 
a passenger train traveling between Canada and the United 
States. It is now more important than ever to increase our 
defenses against similar plots. Intelligence gathered from 
Osama bin Laden's compound revealed evidence that al Qaeda 
considered rail lines high-value targets. TSA is to brief the 
Committee no later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on its multimodal technology pilots and initiatives. 
The briefing shall include a summary of all technology pilot 
programs/initiatives TSA will have operating or has planned for 
fiscal year 2014; what each program/initiative is attempting to 
achieve; potential capabilities and benefits of the program/
initiative; locations of each program/initiative; and plans for 
future expansion.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $180,206,000 for Transportation 
Threat Assessment and Credentialing. This is $411,000 below the 
amount requested and $11,964,000 below the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013. In addition, an estimated $66,000,000 in fee 
collections is available for these activities in fiscal year 
2014, as proposed in the budget.

                             SECURE FLIGHT

    The Committee recommends $105,919,000 for Secure Flight. 
This is $279,000 below the amount requested and $875,000 below 
the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. As recommended by the 
9/11 Commission and mandated by the Intelligence Reform Act, 
this program transferred the responsibility of airline 
passenger watch list matching from the air carriers to the 
Federal Government.
    The Committee recommendation includes $7,000,000 in base 
funding for Secure Flight to provide more robust pre-screening 
of passengers participating in Pre-Check and $12,717,000 for 
watchlist screening for passengers of large general aviation 
aircraft. The Intelligence Reform Act mandates that DHS make 
advanced passenger pre-screening available to charter operators 
and lessors of aircraft greater than 12,500 pounds flying into, 
out of, or within the United States. A rule on large aviation 
aircraft is expected to be published in the coming months.

                    CREW AND OTHER VETTING PROGRAMS

    The Committee recommends $74,287,000 for Crew and Other 
Vetting Programs. This is $132,000 below the amount requested 
and $11,089,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    The Committee supports TSA's efforts to modernize its 
vetting and credentialing infrastructure, which is currently 
made up of disconnected and duplicative systems. This has 
resulted in high-system complexity and lengthy adjudication 
processes due to manual reviews. TSA intends to modernize its 
system to address these issues and improve vetting and 
credentialing services. Following several delays in the 
development of this system, TSA has refined its acquisition 
strategy, awarded a contract for system development, and now 
appears to be on track to achieve initial operating capability 
in 2013. The Committee is also encouraged by TSA's new 
lifecycle cost estimate, which was reduced substantially from 
projections made in the early stages of this acquisition. The 
Committee includes $48,700,000, as requested, for this effort 
in fiscal year 2014 and expects TSA to continue its quarterly 
briefings on its efforts to develop this new vetting system.

         TRANSPORTATION WORKER IDENTIFICATION CREDENTIAL [TWIC]

    The Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2012 was 
signed into law on December 20, 2012 (Public Law 112-213) and 
included a requirement under section 709 that TSA reform the 
process within 270 days for TWIC enrollment, activation, 
issuance, and renewal to require, in total, no more than one 
in-person visit to a designated enrollment center except in 
cases in which there are extenuating circumstances as 
determined by the Secretary. The Committee is pleased that TSA 
has developed a TWIC OneVisit implementation plan, and notes 
the scheduled launch of a pilot initiative in Alaska utilizing 
a manual solution during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, 
followed by an initiative at a second location utilizing an 
automated mailing solution in early fiscal year 2014, and 
culminating in a nationwide launch of a fully automated 
solution in late fiscal year 2014. The Committee directs TSA to 
remain focused on its efforts to implement the requirements 
under section 709 of the Coast Guard and Maritime 
Transportation Act of 2012 and comply with the statutory 
deadlines established under that act. Not later than 30 days 
after the date of enactment of this act, the Administrator is 
directed to submit a report to the Committee on the plan and 
timeline for implementing section 709 and other plans to ease 
the burden on workers who must travel hundreds of miles at 
great personal expense to obtain a TWIC card.

                      HEADQUARTERS ADMINISTRATION

    The Committee recommends $276,000,000 for Headquarters 
Administration. This is $8,942,000 below the amount requested 
and $242,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    TSA shall continue semiannual briefings on covert testing 
activities, to include the latest metrics gathered from recent 
tests and resulting mitigating factors.
    The Committee includes bill language withholding the 
obligation of $20,000,000 for Headquarters Administration until 
fiscal year 2014 expenditure plans for air cargo security, 
explosives detection systems procurement and installation, and 
checkpoint support are provided to the Committee. The 
expenditure plans are due no later than 60 days after the date 
of enactment of this act.

                         INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

    The Committee recommends $450,000,000 for Information 
Technology. This is $5,484,000 below the amount requested and 
$33,355,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. This 
level includes the realignment of funds from the ``Federal Air 
Marshals'' appropriation to consolidate like functions.

                         HUMAN CAPITAL SERVICES

    The Committee recommends $208,000,000 for Human Capital 
Services. This is $4,554,000 below the amount requested and 
$7,544,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    This reduction includes management efficiencies, 
administrative savings, other one-time costs no longer 
necessary to support hires funded in prior years, and a 
transfer to the ``Aviation Security'' appropriation to support 
training activities.

                              INTELLIGENCE

    The Committee recommends $44,561,000 for Intelligence 
activities. This is $248,000 below the amount requested and 
$509,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $821,107,000 for Federal Air 
Marshals. This is $5,415,000 below the amount requested and 
$85,452,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. This 
funding decrease reflects the realignment of FAMs support 
functions from this appropriation into the ``Aviation Security 
Direction and Enforcement'' and ``Transportation Security 
Support'' appropriations, as discussed earlier in this report.

                       United States Coast Guard


                                SUMMARY

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The President's fiscal year 2014 discretionary budget 
request proposes to reduce funding for the Coast Guard by 8 
percent, including the reduction of over 850 military billets, 
the movement of 1,050 reservists to inactive status resulting 
in the smallest reserve force since 1957, the decommissioning 
of critical operational assets, and a 38 percent reduction in 
capital expenditures to a level not seen since 2003. When 
testifying before the subcommittee on the fiscal year 2014 
budget request, the Commandant of the Coast Guard said that the 
proposed budget reductions could cause a ``death spiral'', as 
the agency would be forced to sustain cutters that average over 
46 years of age instead of having funding to procure new 
vessels and aircraft. If the budget request were to be enacted, 
the Coast Guard's ability to carry out its 11 statutory 
missions would be seriously hampered. The recommended level 
provided for in this bill includes targeted increases above the 
President's request to ensure that Coast Guard personnel 
serving on the front lines have the resources and assets to 
fulfill their many missions in fiscal year 2014 and in the 
future.
    The Committee recommends a total program level of 
$10,072,467,000 for the activities of the Coast Guard for 
fiscal year 2014. When costs for overseas contingency 
operations are excluded, the recommendation for the Coast Guard 
is $335,382,000 and 448 positions above the request. The 
recommendation also restores 600 reservist positions to active 
status. The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations as compared to the fiscal year 2013 and budget 
request levels:

Maintenance, Navy'' for overseas contingency operations.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $7,026,346,000 for Coast Guard 
Operating Expenses, including $24,500,000 from the Oil Spill 
Liability Trust Fund and $567,000,000 for Coast Guard defense-
related activities, of which $227,000,000 is for Overseas 
Contingency Operations. Of this amount, the Committee 
recommends not to exceed $15,300 for official reception and 
representation expenses.
    The recommendation level is $270,963,000 above the amount 
requested and $39,434,000 below the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. The Committee's recommendation is $43,963,000 above 
the comparable net request for Coast Guard Operating Expenses 
when excluding funds provided for overseas contingency 
operations.

  contingency operations.

                    OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS

    The Committee provides $227,000,000 for Coast Guard 
operations in support of overseas contingency operations. While 
funding for these activities is requested in the Department of 
Defense budget for the Navy, the Committee adopted a practice 
beginning in the fiscal year 2009 Supplemental Appropriations 
Act to appropriate these amounts directly to the Coast Guard. 
The Committee continues this practice and urges the 
Administration to budget for Coast Guard overseas contingency 
operations under the Department of Homeland Security in future 
budget requests. The Coast Guard shall brief the Committee no 
later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this act on 
any changes expected during fiscal year 2014 or projected 
transition costs expected in fiscal year 2015 to support 
overseas contingency operations.

                        OPERATIONAL ENHANCEMENTS

    High Endurance Cutters.--The budget request proposes to 
decommission two high endurance cutters [HECs] and 368 
associated billets. These cutters average 46 years in age and 
have become increasingly unreliable. The Committee, however, is 
concerned that the decommissioning of two cutters in fiscal 
year 2014 would result in a significant cutter hour gap before 
new National Security Cutters [NSCs] are delivered to replace 
them. To date, four HECs have been decommissioned and the Coast 
Guard has delivered three NSCs. The fourth NSC is under 
production and scheduled for delivery in late fiscal year 2014 
and the fifth NSC is under contract and scheduled for delivery 
in fiscal year 2015. Historically, HECs provide the greatest 
resource hour contribution to the counterdrug mission, both in 
the Eastern Pacific and Western Hemisphere. In fiscal year 
2012, the Coast Guard seized 107 metric tons of cocaine, more 
than all other Federal agencies combined. The proposed 
reduction of two HECs with only one national security cutter 
delivered in fiscal year 2014 will result in a diminished 
presence and fewer opportunities for interdictions. Therefore, 
the recommendation includes an additional $8,000,000 and 184 
positions to maintain one of the two HECs proposed to be 
decommissioned in the request, saving 1,665 major cutter hours 
(3,330 hours annualized) that otherwise would have been cut.
    HC-C130H.--The budget request proposes to eliminate two of 
the Coast Guard's aging HC-C130H aircraft, resulting in a 
reduction of 800 Long Range Surveillance Maritime Patrol 
Aircraft [MPA] resources hours in fiscal year 2014 (1,600 hours 
annualized). These MPAs support several mission areas for the 
Coast Guard, including counter drug, migrant interdiction, 
living marine resources, port and coastal security, law 
enforcement, and search and rescue. While these aircraft 
average 28 years and have become increasingly difficult to 
maintain and sustain operationally, the Coast Guard's MPA hour 
gap is already 19,000 hours below baseline requirements. The 
reduction of these aircraft will also result in reduced support 
to the Joint Interagency Task Force--South counter drug 
mission. While the Committee has funded a total of four new HC-
130Js in recent years, the first won't be ready for operations 
until 2016. Therefore, the recommendation includes an 
additional $8,000,000 and 58 positions to maintain these two 
aircraft in fiscal year 2014.
    Training.--The Committee is concerned with the proposal in 
the budget request to reduce funding for training by 
$43,200,000 in fiscal year 2014. Coast Guard mission 
requirements encompass a diverse set of responsibilities, such 
as: search and rescue, drug interdiction, migrant interdiction, 
icebreaking, and port security. The men and women of the Coast 
Guard depend on tailored attention to their specific 
professional development needs in order to perform the 
assignments demanded of them by each unique Coast Guard 
mission. While budget caps require all agencies to find 
efficiencies and cut back on certain programs, this deep cut to 
the training budget will result in personnel arriving at new 
duty stations without the requisite expertise and skills, will 
limit the Coast Guard's capacity to handle a surge in workforce 
levels, and will reduce tuition assistance that is used to grow 
a highly educated workforce. The recommendation includes an 
additional $22,000,000 and 200 positions above the request to 
restore the most critical training funds.

                     FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT

    The bill includes $29,548,000 for financial systems 
modernization to replace the Coast Guard's core accounting 
system, which is resource intensive and non-compliant with the 
Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996. The Coast 
Guard, in tandem with the Office of the Chief Financial 
Officer, shall continue to brief the Committee on its efforts 
to carry out this migration.

                       HEADQUARTERS CONSOLIDATION

    The bill includes $12,800,000 for costs necessary to 
support the Coast Guard at the St. Elizabeths campus, including 
requirements for security services and technology integration 
operations. Funding for these activities is included in the 
Coast Guard instead of Departmental Operations because the 
Coast Guard will be the sole tenant at the campus in fiscal 
year 2014.

                             SEXUAL ASSAULT

    Like other military branches, the Coast Guard continues to 
struggle with sexual assault within its ranks. The Coast Guard 
had 141 incident reports of sexual assaults in fiscal year 
2012, up from 83 in fiscal year 2011 and 75 in fiscal year 
2010. While the Coast Guard has enhanced training and awareness 
throughout the service in recent years, much more needs to be 
done to prevent and stop these incidents. The Committee notes 
that the Coast Guard has just one permanent headquarters staff 
billet within the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response [SAPR] 
program while the field is served by collateral duty sexual 
assault response coordinators. In order to strengthen the Coast 
Guard's SAPR program and establish a permanent infrastructure 
in the field, the Committee includes $1,000,000 for six 
regional coordinators, which will allow for a full range of 
prevention strategies to be deployed, establishment of sexual 
assault response teams in every region, and additional training 
to expand the number of victim advocates across the widely 
dispersed population of the Coast Guard.
    The Committee also commends the Coast Guard for its 
commitment to align its policies to ensure its servicemembers 
are afforded the protections provided by the Defense STRONG Act 
as enacted by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2012, (Public Law 112-81). The Coast Guard shall report to 
the Committee on the implementation status of these new 
policies within 60 days of the date of enactment of this act.
    The Coast Guard shall also provide to the Committee the 
annual report required by section 217 of the Coast Guard 
Authorization Act of 2010.

                                HOUSING

    The Coast Guard recently completed a National Housing 
Assessment of its approximately 4,000 housing units in 128 
sites to determine if the inventory is appropriate, assess the 
condition of inventory, and to pinpoint key investment 
priorities. Overall, the inventory is over 40 years in age on 
average, with several maintenance and safety deficiencies at 
many locations. The report found that the Coast Guard has the 
potential to divest housing in underutilized areas thereby 
reducing its inventory and re-focusing its resources on 
maintenance at sites found to be in the worst condition and to 
invest in remote areas where limited housing is required. For 
existing housing, the report emphasized the need to improve 
maintenance delivery by establishing regional maintenance 
contracts, realign and train existing maintenance personnel, 
and strengthen investment above normally programmed resources, 
which were found to be insufficient to improve the condition of 
remaining housing to satisfactory levels. The Committee 
realizes that the issues identified by the report cannot be 
resolved overnight, but the Coast Guard must have a 
comprehensive plan to tackle these issues in an orderly and 
timely manner. The Committee directs the Coast Guard to submit 
an annual report with the budget request detailing how the 
deficiencies identified in the report have been resolved or 
plan to be resolved in the upcoming year. The report shall 
include progress made in: resolving housing identified as 
inadequate from a health and safety concern; right-sizing the 
housing inventory; the development of regional maintenance 
contracts; and addressing the need for new housing. Finally, 
the report shall also identify how operational maintenance 
funds for divested housing are being reinvested into the most 
critical housing needs in the remaining inventory.

                       MINOR SHORE INFRASTRUCTURE

    The bill includes long standing bill language to allow 
funds from the ``Operating Expenses'' appropriation to be used 
for the sustainment, repair, replacement and maintenance of 
shore infrastructure, including projects to correct 
deficiencies for code compliance or that threaten life, health, 
or safety to an amount not exceeding 50 percent of a building's 
or structure's replacement value. Additionally, ``Operating 
Expenses'' funds are allowed to be used for contingent, 
emergent, or other unspecified minor construction projects, 
which includes new construction, procurement, development, 
conversion, rebuilding, improvement, or an extension of any 
facility not exceeding $1,000,000 in total costs at any 
location for planned or unplanned operational needs.
    Minor construction projects funded from the ``Operating 
Expenses'' appropriation can be combined with depot level 
maintenance projects for the sake of administrative and 
economic efficiency. The Coast Guard is to provide a report to 
the Committee not later than 45 days after the date of 
enactment of this act detailing such projects and any 
sustainment, repair, replacement or maintenance projects over 
$1,000,000 for fiscal year 2014. For fiscal year 2015, such 
information shall be included in the congressional budget 
justification.

                              SMALL BOATS

    The bill includes long standing bill language to allow 
funds from the ``Operating Expenses'' appropriation to be used 
for the purchase or lease of small boats for contingent and 
emergent requirements (at a unit cost of no more than $700,000) 
and repairs and service-life replacements. The annual cost of 
these activities is capped at $31,000,000. Unlike major 
procurements requested in the ``Acquisition, Construction, and 
Improvements'' appropriation, the Coast Guard's annual request 
for the ``Operating Expenses'' appropriation includes minimal 
information about the budget for small boat activities. In 
order to gain more clarity on these matters, the Coast Guard is 
to provide a report to the Committee no later than 30 days 
after the date of enactment of this act detailing planned small 
boat purchases, leases, repairs, and service life replacements 
for fiscal year 2014. For fiscal year 2015, such information 
shall be included in the congressional budget justification.

                          REPROGRAMMING LIMIT

    The budget request included a proposed adjustment to the 
Coast Guard's reprogramming limit in order to help with the 
internal management of highly volatile expenditures in the 
Military Pay and Allowances PPA. A significant portion of the 
Coast Guard's Military Pay and Allowances PPA is entitlement 
driven, such as allowances for housing, Permanent Change of 
Station [PCS] Expenses and Active Duty and Dependent Medical 
costs. Actual rates for these costs can vary greatly in the 2 
year span between budget formulation and enactment of the Coast 
Guard's ``Operating Expenses'' appropriation. Macroeconomic 
events, such as medical cost inflation or changes in TRICARE 
fees under the National Defense Authorization Act, housing 
market trends, and PCS household goods carrier charges can vary 
greatly during this time. In addition, payments for PCS moves 
are highly dependent on fuel prices. Similar to housing costs, 
fuel prices can vary significantly between the time the budget 
is formulated and executed.
    While the Coast Guard should be making every effort to 
implement financial management measures to ensure accurate 
budget requests, the Committee understands certain price 
adjustments are inevitable that will impact the budget 
estimates contained within them. As a result of this 
variability, the Coast Guard has found itself in a position 
over the past few years with high unobligated balances in its 
Military Pay and Allowances PPA with limited flexibility to 
reallocate those funds for other worthy activities, such as 
depot level maintenance for aging ships and planes or to 
sustain operational tempo for Coast Guard missions. To address 
this situation, the bill includes a modified version of the 
request to enable better stewardship of Federal resources. The 
notification requirements contained in section 503 of this act 
are to apply to any reprogramming made under this authority.

                          LEGACY PATROL BOATS

    A total of six fast response cutters [FRCs] are funded 
within the ``Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements'' 
appropriation, four boats and $235,000,000 above the request. 
This will bring the total amount funded to 30 boats, 12 of 
which will be in-service by the end of 2014. FRCs are replacing 
aging 110-foot Island Class Patrol Boats, which are already 
beyond the end of their projected service lives and very 
expensive to maintain. The Committee has learned that two of 
these patrol boats have such severe hull deterioration, it has 
become cost prohibitive to maintain them beyond fiscal year 
2013. Given the fact that the bill increases the number of new 
patrol boats by four, providing for 10,000 additional 
operational hours, the Committee expects the Coast Guard to 
decommission two legacy patrol boats that are in the worst 
material condition, achieving savings of $2,763,000.

                    PUBLIC-PRIVATE HOUSING AUTHORITY

    The Committee is aware the public-private authority 
provided to the Department of Defense in the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 has resulted in improved 
housing for military families. The authority provided allows 
the Department to work with the private sector to build and 
renovate housing through a variety of financial tools, 
including: direct loans, loan guarantees, equity investment and 
conveyance or leasing of existing properties and facilities. 
The Committee believes similar authorization for the Coast 
Guard may benefit the agency and members and families of the 
Coast Guard. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary to 
provide a report to the Committee not later than 90 days after 
enactment of this act analyzing the potential benefits of 
public-private housing authority for the Coast Guard.

         INFRASTRUCTURE AND RESPONSE CAPABILITIES IN THE ARCTIC

    The Committee is concerned about the lack of assets 
available for the Coast Guard's Arctic mission. No later than 
120 days after the date of enactment of this act, the 
Commandant is directed to submit a report to the Committee 
comparing the costs of facility renovations to homeport and 
support an NSC in Alaska with the annual costs of transit time 
to Alaska area of operations for deployments and days lost to 
casualty repairs.

                            ARCTIC STRATEGY

    The Coast Guard recently released its Arctic Strategy, 
which looks at the changing conditions in the region and 
contemplates future requirements. The strategy outlines three 
broad objectives: improving awareness; modernizing governance; 
and broadening partnerships. To carry out these objectives over 
the long term, the Coast Guard next needs to develop an 
implementation plan, including the identification of necessary 
capabilities, requirements, authorities, and resources. 
Therefore, the Coast Guard is directed to submit an Arctic 
strategy implementation plan no later than 120 days after the 
date of enactment of this act.

                  INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION

    The Committee wants to ensure that as activities in the 
Arctic expand, necessary response capabilities exists in the 
region. No later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act, the Secretary is directed to submit a report to the 
Committee on activities that have occurred pursuant to section 
307(b) of Public Law 111-281 and how the Department is meeting 
the requirements being developed in the agreements envisioned 
by that subsection.

                            COAST GUARD YARD

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

                   EXECUTIVE TRANSPORTATION AIRCRAFT

    The Coast Guard is directed to notify the Committee prior 
to making any changes in the type or number of the command and 
control aircraft.

                 COAST GUARD DEFENSE RELATED ACTIVITIES

    Since 2001, the Coast Guard has derived $340,000,000 
(excluding overseas contingency operations) of its annual 
``Operating Expenses'' appropriation for defense related 
activities. This number has remained relatively constant for 
more than a decade despite the Coast Guard's budget growing by 
225 percent over that same period of time. Moreover, all Coast 
Guard appropriations play a vital role in ensuring the Service 
can execute its defense related missions, yet, only the 
``Operating Expenses'' appropriation derives any defense 
related funding. The Committee is concerned that this level and 
allocation of funding may not adequately reflect the estimated 
$800,000,000 or more the Coast Guard spends annually to meet 
its defense related missions. The Committee directs the Coast 
Guard to provide an analysis of all defense related expenses 
within its appropriations, using the April 1998 GAO Report on 
U.S. Coast Guard Use of DOD Funds for National Security 
Functions as the basis for defining National Security 
Functions. The report should identify the current allocation of 
the $340,000,000 within the ``Operating Expenses'' 
appropriation, shortfalls between that amount and amounts 
actually spent for defense related activities, and any defense 
related costs being incurred by other Coast Guard 
appropriations. The results of the analysis are to be shared 
with the House and Senate Committees on Budget, the 
Congressional Budget Office, and the Office of Management and 
Budget, no later than November 1, 2013. The results shall also 
be reflected in the President's budget submission for fiscal 
year 2015.

                ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND RESTORATION

Appropriations, 2013\1\.................................     $13,134,000
Budget estimate, 2014...................................      13,187,000

Committee recommendation................................      13,165,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $13,165,000 for Environmental 
Compliance and Restoration activities. This is $22,000 below 
the amount requested and $31,000 above the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013.
    The Coast Guard is directed to include in its annual budget 
justification a listing of the activities projected to be 
funded by the amount requested under this heading and an 
updated backlog report for Environmental Compliance and 
Restoration projects, with an explanation of how the amount 
requested will impact this documented backlog.

                            RESERVE TRAINING

Appropriations, 2013\1\.................................    $132,353,000
Budget estimate, 2014...................................     109,543,000
House allowance.........................................     112,991,000
Committee recommendation................................     122,491,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

    The Reserve Training appropriation provides for the 
training of qualified individuals who are available for Active 
Duty in time of war or national emergency or to augment regular 
Coast Guard forces in the performance of peacetime missions.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $122,491,000 for Reserve Training. 
This is $12,948,000 above the amount requested and $9,862,000 
below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    The budget request includes a reduction of $24,735,000 and 
the transfer of 1,050 drilling Selected Reservist positions to 
the Inactive Ready Reserve, which would result in the smallest 
Coast Guard Reserve force since 1957. If enacted, the reduction 
would impact the Coast Guard's ability to respond to major 
events, such as a hurricane, mass migration, oil spill, or 
earthquake. At the requested funding levels, certain 
specialized reserve forces would not be able to drill as 
frequently, impacting proficiency. Therefore, the Committee 
recommendation includes $13,000,000 above the request to 
restore 600 reservists to active status, which will enable the 
Coast Guard to retain the majority of the first responders 
proposed for reduction, such as boat coxswains, law enforcement 
personnel, and pollution response technicians.

              ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS

Committee recommendation................................   1,229,684,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.
\2\Includes emergency funding of $274,233,000 in the Disaster Relief 
Appropriations Act, 2013 (division A of Public Law 113-2).

    Funding in this account supports the Acquisition, 
Construction, and Improvement [AC&I] of vessels, aircraft, 
information management resources, shore facilities, aids to 
navigation, and military housing required to execute the Coast 
Guard's missions and achieve its performance goals.
    Vessels.--The vessel program provides funding to 
recapitalize and/or improve the Coast Guard's fleet of aging 
boats and cutters.
    Aircraft.--The aircraft program is the primary 
recapitalization and sustainment effort for the Coast Guard's 
aging aircraft.
    Other Equipment.--The Coast Guard invests in numerous 
management information and decision support systems that will 
result in increased efficiencies, including Rescue 21 (formerly 
the National Distress and Response System Modernization 
Project), and the Nationwide Automatic Identification System.
    Shore Facilities and Aids to Navigation.--The Coast Guard 
invests in the acquisition, construction, rebuilding, and 
improvement of shore facilities, aids to navigation, and 
related equipment.
    Military Housing.--The Coast Guard invests in Military 
Housing facilities to ensure military members have access to 
housing in areas where there is a lack of affordable 
accommodations.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,229,684,000 for Acquisition, 
Construction, and Improvements, including $20,000,000 from the 
Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. This is $278,568,000 above the 
amount requested and $587,902,000 below the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013.

                        CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN

    The Capital Investment Plan [CIP] is essential for the 
Committee to carry out its oversight function of the Coast 
Guard, especially at a time when recapitalization of aging 
assets has become so critical for the service. All of the 
information required by the Committee is in accordance with the 
Coast Guard's Major Systems Acquisition Manual and applicable 
Department of Homeland Security management directives. The 
fiscal year 2015-2019 plan is to be submitted with the fiscal 
year 2015 congressional justification. To encourage a timely 
submission, the Committee has withheld $75,000,000 from the 
Headquarters Directorate of the Coast Guard. This withholding 
also reflects the Committee's disappointment that the Coast 
Guard did not comply with all statutory requirements in its 
submission of the 2014-2018 CIP. Of note, while the CIP 
submitted with the fiscal year 2013 budget request anticipated 
acquisition expenditures totaling $1,429,485,000; with the 
submission of the fiscal year 2014 budget request, these 
expenditures decreased by $478,369,000. The ramifications of 
these types of budgetary swings are far reaching. The current 
plan failed to explain any deviations in cost, performance 
parameters, schedule, or estimated date of completion from the 
original acquisition program to the current plan. The Coast 
Guard needs to make every effort to clearly identify which 
procurements will be delayed or scaled back, which ones will be 
canceled, which ones will remain on track, and the impact these 
decisions have on extending the service life of the Coast 
Guard's already aging and unreliable fleet and shore 
facilities. The Committee expects this level of transparency in 
the CIP accompanying the fiscal year 2015 budget request.

                      ACQUISITION PORTFOLIO REVIEW

    The fiscal year 2014 CIP that was submitted to the 
Committee on April 19, 2013, calls for a radical change to 
Coast Guard recapitalization efforts in future years. The 
funding levels suggested in the plan would decrease the number 
of fast response cutters to a level that jeopardizes the 
program, stop the acquisition of new aircraft, delay completion 
of the offshore patrol cutter, put the acquisition of a new 
polar icebreaker at risk, and scale back investment in 
deteriorating shore facilities. If enacted, this investment 
plan would have dire consequences on the Coast Guard's ability 
to carry out its missions, such as: interdicting drugs in the 
transit zone; managing a mass migration event; responding to 
oil spills; fisheries enforcement; and the need to increase 
U.S. presence in the Arctic. The CIP states that DHS will 
conduct a comprehensive portfolio review in 2013 that will help 
develop revised acquisition program baselines and direct key 
acquisition decision events to reflect acquisition priorities 
and operational requirements achievable within the funding 
projections contained in the fiscal year 2014 CIP. A major flaw 
in the fiscal year 2014 CIP is the Department's conclusion that 
the funding levels it contains for the ``Acquisition, 
Construction, and Improvements'' appropriation are consistent 
with the pre-sequester caps imposed on discretionary budget 
authority through 2021 under the Budget Control Act of 2011. 
The reality is that the fiscal year 2014 budget request for the 
``Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements'' appropriation 
is 38 percent below the fiscal year 2013 enacted level, after 
factoring out emergency supplemental funding, while total 
discretionary spending under the Budget Control Act of 2011 
increases by 1.4 percent between fiscal year 2013 and fiscal 
year 2014. In conducting the portfolio review described in the 
CIP, the Department shall use more appropriate outyear funding 
levels that are reflective of the fiscal year 2013 enacted 
level for the ``Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements'' 
appropriation, as adjusted by the pre-sequester caps set in the 
Budget Control Act of 2011. Finally, the review is to include 
acquisition cost, asset capability and quantity tradeoffs, and 
the overall impact to the Coast Guard's ability to carry out 
all of its statutory missions. The results of the review shall 
be validated by an independent third party selected by the 
Secretary and the Commandant to ensure that a realistic budget 
outlook does not censor necessary data on mission needs and 
tradeoffs. The report by the independent third party shall be 
provided to the Committee in conjunction with the President's 
fiscal year 2015 budget request.

                    QUARTERLY ACQUISITION BRIEFINGS

    The Coast Guard is to continue quarterly briefings on all 
major acquisitions. In addition to the information normally 
provided for each asset, these briefings shall include: the top 
five risks for each acquisition, if applicable, consistent with 
those on the risk watch list in quarterly program manager 
reports, and if the risks have future budget implications; the 
objective for operational hours the Coast Guard expects to 
achieve; the gap between that objective, current capabilities, 
and stated mission requirements; and how the acquisition of the 
specific asset closes the gap. The information presented at 
these briefings shall also include a discussion of how the 
Coast Guard calculated the operational hours, an explanation on 
risks to mission performance associated with the current 
shortfall, and the operational strategy to mitigate such risks. 
Finally, the briefings are to include a status chart on all 
shore construction projects that have not been completed. For 
each construction project, the chart is to include the funding 
status, design status, and procurement and construction status.

                          RESPONSE BOAT-MEDIUM

    The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the Response Boat-
Medium [RB-M] acquisition. The Committee disagrees with the 
request to end RB-M production 10 boats short of the 180 boats 
required to complete the program. The RB-Ms are meeting or 
exceeding all performance expectations; and there is a 
demonstrated requirement for the remaining boats. To date, 128 
RB-Ms have been delivered on time and on budget. These funds 
will allow the Coast Guard to purchase 4 RB-Ms in fiscal year 
2014, bringing the total funded to 174 of the required 180 
boats. The RB-M is a critical asset for the Coast Guard to 
replace aging 41-foot Utility Boats that are less able to 
handle Coast Guard mission requirements, particularly maritime 
security requirements that have changed significantly since 
September 11, 2001. With the acquisition of RB-Ms, the Coast 
Guard will be able to perform its duties more efficiently by 
allowing crews, for example, to be onsite to a rescue more 
quickly. The RB-Ms serve as an ideal platform for search and 
rescue; ports, waterways, and coastal security; drug 
interdiction; and migrant interdiction. Further, the RB-M 
supports marine safety, aids to navigation, marine 
environmental protection, and defense readiness missions.

                     IN-SERVICE CUTTER SUSTAINMENT

    The bill includes $21,000,000, as requested, to continue 
in-service sustainment efforts for the 140-icebreaking tugs, 
begin mid-life service sustainment of the 225-foot ocean-going 
buoy tender, and fund the first of four phases of the CGC EAGLE 
service life extension. Given the success of the Mission 
Effectiveness Projects for the medium endurance cutters and the 
110-foot patrol boats at the Coast Guard Yard, the Committee 
expects the Coast Guard to direct sustainment work on all aging 
vessels there when geographically feasible.

                        NATIONAL SECURITY CUTTER

    The Coast Guard operates a fleet of 378-foot high endurance 
cutters [HECs] that are over 43 years old on average, and are 
increasingly unreliable and expensive to maintain. By 
comparison, the average Navy ship is 20 years old. The Coast 
Guard's program of record is to acquire 8 national security 
cutters [NSCs] to replace 12 HECs (of which 3 have been 
decommissioned with the arrival of the first 3 NSCs). To date, 
approximately $3,848,000,000 has been appropriated for six NSCs 
and long lead time materials [LLTM] for NSC-7. Three NSCs have 
been delivered to the Coast Guard, the fourth is expected to be 
delivered in fiscal year 2014, the fifth in fiscal year 2015, 
and the sixth in 2017.
    As noted in prior years, the Committee strongly supports 
the procurement of one national security cutter per year until 
all eight planned ships are procured. The continuation of 
production without a break will ensure that these ships, which 
are vital to the Coast Guard's mission, are procured at the 
lowest cost, and that they enter the Coast Guard fleet as soon 
as possible. The Committee is concerned that the 
Administration's current acquisition policy requires the Coast 
Guard to attain total acquisition cost for a vessel, including 
long lead time materials, production costs, and post-production 
costs, before a production contract can be awarded. This has 
the potential to create shipbuilding inefficiencies, force 
delayed obligation of production funds, and require 
postproduction funds far in advance of when they will be used. 
As an example of such inefficiency, the fiscal year 2013 budget 
request proposed a rescission and reappropriation of 
$25,000,000 in funds previously appropriated for NSC-4 post-
production that would have expired before they could be spent. 
The Department should be in a position to acquire NSCs in the 
most efficient manner within the guidelines of strict 
governance measures. Therefore, the Committee includes language 
in the bill specifying that funds made available by this act 
shall be available to contract for long lead time materials for 
Coast Guard vessels, notwithstanding the availability of funds 
for production costs or post-production costs.
    For NSC-7, the Committee includes $12,000,000 for Segment 2 
of LLTM. The Committee recommendation also includes 
$540,000,000, as requested, for production and $3,000,000 for 
post-production costs. Funding for post-production costs is 
$61,000,000 below the request due to the fact that these funds 
are not necessary until fiscal years 2016 through 2018.
    The request includes no funding for LLTM for NSC-8. The 
Committee disagrees with this proposal. Procuring these 
materials in advance will save substantial time and money by 
ensuring that supplies and components that require a long time 
to obtain are available to the manufacturer when they are 
needed. By providing LLTM for NSC-6 in advance, the Coast Guard 
was able to save $30,000,000 in the total cost of the ship. 
Therefore the bill includes $77,000,000 for LLTM for NSC-8. 
According to the Department, this will accelerate the 
production schedule for the cutter and result in direct savings 
of up to $40,000,000 compared to delaying long lead acquisition 
to fiscal year 2015.

                          FAST RESPONSE CUTTER

    The Committee recommends $310,000,000 for the Coast Guard's 
Fast Response Cutter [FRC]. This funding will allow the Coast 
Guard to acquire six FRC hulls (25-30). Procuring six FRCs in 
fiscal year 2014 will maximize the production line and generate 
cost savings of at least $5,000,000 per hull for a total 
savings to the taxpayers of $30,000,000. Funding six boats 
instead of two will also allow the Coast Guard to advance the 
replacement of the aging 110-foot island class patrol boats, 
which are already beyond the end of their projected service 
lives and very expensive to maintain. Each FRC will provide 
2,500 annual operating hours and improved sea keeping ability, 
resulting in better habitability and full-mission capability in 
higher sea states.

                         OFFSHORE PATROL CUTTER

    The recommendation includes $25,000,000 for the Offshore 
Patrol Cutter [OPC], as requested. Funding is provided for pre-
acquisition design work of the OPC, which is intended to 
replace the Coast Guard's aging fleet of medium endurance 
cutters. The Coast Guard expects to award preliminary and 
contract designs to three competing contractors in fiscal year 
2013. A final detailed design and construction award is 
expected in fiscal year 2016.
    The OPC's initial capabilities to control and direct 
aircraft as well as execute interdiction missions should, to 
the maximum extent feasible, be equivalent to that of the NSC 
to facilitate maximum savings to the Federal Government, rather 
than being deferred to future upgrades that add to total cost 
of ownership. The Committee urges the Coast Guard to maximize, 
to the greatest extent practicable, such systems' commonality 
between the OPC and the NSC to reduce total acquisition cost 
and lifecycle costs facilitated by savings in life cycle 
logistics management, integration costs, and personnel training 
efficiencies.

                            POLAR ICEBREAKER

    The recommendation includes $2,000,000, as requested, to 
continue survey and design activities for a new Coast Guard 
polar icebreaker.
    The Committee notes that the Coast Guard's High Latitude 
Study calls for a minimum of three new heavy polar icebreakers. 
Currently, the service only has one working icebreaker, the 
Healy, which is a medium service ship that is used primarily 
for scientific missions in the Arctic. One of the Coast Guard's 
two heavy icebreakers, the 37 year-old Polar Star, is being 
refurbished and reactivated in fiscal year 2013 to provide 
capability for another 7 to 10 years. The service's other heavy 
icebreaker, the 35-year-old Polar Sea, is out of service based 
on its mechanical state and cost to repair.
    The Coast Guard estimates that construction of a new 
icebreaker will not be completed until 2024 and that the vessel 
will not be fully ready for operations until 2026 or 2027. 
Given the importance of this polar icebreaking capacity to 
facilitate Arctic shipping, fisheries, and energy development 
in the United States, the Coast Guard must accelerate the 
development of operational requirements for the vessel, ensure 
the capacity and viability of the industrial base, and explore 
alternative acquisition strategies that may be more expeditious 
and cost effective, including the use of parent-craft designs 
or leasing options, to support this critical mission 
requirement.
    The Coast Guard's Alternatives Analysis for the acquisition 
of a heavy polar icebreaker is to include: (1) an examination 
of existing heavy polar icebreaker parent craft designs that 
could potentially be utilized; (2) specific recommendations to 
expedite the acquisition schedule; and (3) an updated 
budgetary, market, operational, and legal analysis of 
alternative acquisition arrangements for a heavy polar 
icebreaker, including various forms of vessel leasing such as 
those used by the United States Navy, the National Science 
Foundation, other Federal agencies, and the domestic maritime 
industry. The report shall include a consideration of pre-
determined, fixed-price, long-term leasing arrangements, demise 
charters, and contractor-owned, contractor-operated charters, 
as well as the use of appropriate contract incentives and 
penalties that have the potential to expedite construction 
while ensuring vessel performance and durability. The report 
shall also include an examination of potential costs and 
savings to the Federal Government over the next 10, 20, and 30 
year periods using various types of leasing arrangements as 
compared to a Government owned vessel, including potential 
savings that may result from contractor assumption of financial 
responsibility for maintenance costs (at the Coast Guard's 
direction) and potential savings that may result from 
contractor assumption of personnel costs for certain positions 
that do not exercise any combat or law enforcement functions 
(including associated savings to the Federal Government from 
reduced training requirements). The Alternatives Analysis is to 
be submitted to the Committee not later than 15 days after it 
is completed.

                       UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS

    The Committee is aware of efforts by the Coast Guard to 
evaluate both ship-based and land-based unmanned aircraft 
systems [UAS] for mission requirements. Both platforms have the 
potential to enhance the Coast Guard's capability to execute 
statutory requirements in the maritime domain. The Coast Guard 
has reported to the Committee that its long standing plan to 
add vertical take-off unmanned aircraft systems to National 
Security Cutters would result in an estimated 95- to 225-
percent increase in surveillance coverage within an 80 nautical 
mile radius of the cutter and an estimated 95-percent increase 
in the number of prosecutions achieved by the cutter. The 
Committee continues to be very supportive of the use of 
vertical take-off UAS aboard Coast Guard cutters and strongly 
encourages the Coast Guard to ensure that the testing and 
evaluation schedule is not delayed for this enhanced 
surveillance capability.
    The Coast Guard continues to pursue a small UAS [sUAS] as 
an interim capability for the NSC. Demonstrations are planned 
in 2013 and 2014 to evaluate its usefulness in sending data 
from the sUAS sensors to the NSC. The Coast Guard is to keep 
the Committee apprised of its efforts for vertical take-off 
UAS, sUAS, and land-based UAS development.

                SHORE FACILITIES AND AIDS TO NAVIGATION

    The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for shore facilities 
and aids to navigation, as requested. The Coast Guard's CIP for 
fiscal year 2015-2019 shall include a better explanation of the 
construction projects identified for funding, including: 
identification of each project to be funded in each fiscal 
year; an estimate for construction, design, planning, and 
project management for each project; and a schedule to complete 
the project.

                      COAST GUARD MILITARY HOUSING

    The Committee provides $18,000,000 above the request for 
the recapitalization, improvement, and acquisition of housing 
to support military families. Of this amount, $349,996 is 
derived from the Coast Guard Housing Fund. The Coast Guard 
shall provide an expenditure plan to the Committee for these 
funds in the shore facilities report required 45 days after the 
date of enactment of this act.

                             AC&I PERSONNEL

    The Committee provides $114,754,000 for personnel and 
related support, as requested.

                          UNFUNDED PRIORITIES

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

the Coast Guard's operating missions. This account provides 
funds to operate and maintain the Coast Guard Research and 
Development Center.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $19,781,000 for the Coast Guard's 
Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation activities. This is 
$75,000 below the amount requested and $117,000 above the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    The Deepwater Horizon oil spill highlighted the need for 
improved basic oceanographic research and the research and 
development of new oil spill response and removal technologies. 
The Committee believes that innovative technologies, such an 
unmanned maritime vehicles [UMVs], can improve prediction 
accuracy for oil spill response efforts through better 
trajectory models, provide real-time data telemetry, and reduce 
operational response costs. Of the funds available for 
``Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation,'' the 
Committee directs the Commandant to study the viability and 
applicability of persistent UMVs and other cost-saving maritime 
technologies through a competitive process. This assessment 
should consider technologies that complement and enhance the 
Coast Guard's marine environmental protection capabilities, and 
emphasis shall be given to technologies which also have

                       SECRET SERVICE ACTIVITIES

    The Committee fully funds the request for protection of 
persons and facilities, protective intelligence, and 
investigations. The Committee also fully funds the White House 
mail screening and the electronic crimes special agent program 
and electronic task force activities, but has moved the funds 
to the Protection of Persons and Facilities and Domestic Field 
Operations PPAs, respectively, consistent with the structure of 
the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2013.
    The President's budget proposed unacceptable cuts which 
would have a severely detrimental impact on the Secret 
Service's protection and investigation missions, as well as on 
agents and officers themselves. Included in the amount 
recommended for Protection of Persons and Facilities is 
$12,000,000 above the request and for Domestic Field Operations 
is $8,600,000 above the request to restore funding for critical 
Secret Service staffing. Additionally the bill includes 
$3,400,000 above the request for Headquarters, Management, and 
Administration to restore critical staffing and $9,600,000 
above the request for permanent change of station costs to 
ensure proper rotations of agents between the protective and 
investigative missions. This restoration will have a direct 
positive impact on agent safety.

           NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN

    The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 
[NCMEC] was created in 1984 to serve as the Nation's resource 
on the issues of missing and sexually exploited children. For 
more than two decades, the Secret Service has provided funding 
for grants as well as computer forensic support to NCMEC. In 
fiscal year 2012, the $6,000,000 in grant funds provided to 
NCMEC constituted 12 percent of the Center's budget. Since 
1997, the Secret Service has assisted NCMEC by opening 2,320 
investigative cases throughout the Secret Services field 
offices. These cases resulted in 982 arrests of child predators 
and others, helped parents fingerprint and/or photograph more 
than 112,000 children through its Operation Safe Kids program, 
and completed 2,193 forensic/computer examinations for 
investigations involving missing and exploited children.
    For fiscal year 2014, the Committee recommends $6,000,000 
for grants in support of missing and exploited children and 
expects USSS to sustain forensic support at the fiscal year 
2013 level of $2,366,000.

                    NATIONAL SPECIAL SECURITY EVENTS

    The Committee recommends $4,500,000, as requested, for 
support to currently planned and unanticipated National Special 
Security Events [NSSEs] for fiscal year 2014. The Committee 
directs the USSS to provide semiannual briefings on the use of 
these funds, with the first briefing to occur not later than 
April 15, 2014. Also included in the bill is a general 
provision that states that none of the funds in this act may be 
used to reimburse any Federal department or agency for its 
participation in an NSSE.

           PROTECTIVE ACTIVITIES AND DOMESTIC INVESTIGATIONS

    The President's request includes modest increases for 
cybersecurity presidential protection measures and security 
enhancements for the White House complex. Additionally, while 
proposing a slight reduction to operational mission support, 
funding for these activities remain fairly robust. The 
Committee directs the Secret Service to provide a briefing on 
progress made in each of these areas not later than 180 days 
after the date of enactment of this act.

                  STATE AND LOCAL CYBERCRIME TRAINING

    The Committee recognizes the continuously changing nature 
of computer forensics and with that the need for evolving 
training at the State and local level, where 95 percent of 
criminal cases are investigated and prosecuted. The training 
provided by the Secret Service has proven invaluable to State 
and local law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges. The 
Committee also recognizes the growing positive training and 
educational relationship developed between the Secret Service 
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Committee 
recommends that the Secret Service continue to robustly support 
this training and expand the number of people trained as well 
as the number of classes to address emerging areas of concern. 
These ongoing activities are achieving real results and the 
Committee includes $6,000,000 to continue this activity within 
the Secret Service rather than at the Federal Law Enforcement 
Training Center, as was proposed in the budget request. 
Further, the Committee directs the Secret Service to continue 
coordinating with the National Protection and Programs 
Directorate as the subject matter experts to ensure the 
curriculum is sound and consistent with current risk and 
threat, and to avoid duplication and ensure efficiency.

         INFORMATION INTEGRATION AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFORMATION

    The Committee notes the Secret Service, working closely 
with the DHS Chief Information Officer [CIO], has made great 
strides in implementing its information technology program and 
ensuring its modernization activities are consistent with the 
Department's guidance. The Committee discontinues its 
withholding of funds requirement and directs the Secret Service 
to brief the Committee on its ongoing progress with the DHS CIO 
not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this act.
    The Committee also directs the USSS to provide greater 
detail in the justifications accompanying the fiscal year 2015 
budget request on all USSS information technology activities.

                        INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES

    The Committee provided resources to support the opening of 
new international field offices in Lima, Peru, and Beijing, 
China, to stem counterfeiting activity and better facilitate 
protectee travel. The Committee also notes that ongoing 
cooperation with law enforcement officials in Colombia, Peru, 
and elsewhere is demonstrating continued success in suppressing 
counterfeiting operations around the world. For instance, in 
April of this year, Secret Service agents assisted their 
Peruvian National Police counterparts in seizing two commercial 
grade offset printing presses, one commercial grade plate 
burner, over 105 printing plates bearing counterfeit images of 
U.S. currency, original plates and transparencies for the 25198 
Peruvian Note, miscellaneous paraphernalia used in the printing 
of counterfeit currency, $5,600,000 in uncut sheets of 
counterfeit $100 and $10 U.S. Federal Reserve Notes, and 
$10,400,000 in counterfeit Peruvian currency. The Secret 
Service shall keep the Committee regularly apprised of its 
major international activities.

                        REPROGRAMMING THRESHOLDS

    Statutory language is included in the bill setting a higher 
threshold for the reprogramming of funds in section 503 of this 
act to accommodate unanticipated shifts in funding requirements 
for protection and investigation activities.

     ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENTS, AND RELATED EXPENSES

    This appropriation provides funding for security upgrades 
of existing facilities; for information integration and 
technology transformation [IITT]; to continue development of 
the current master plan; to maintain and renovate existing 
facilities, including the James J. Rowley Training Center 
[Center]; and to ensure efficient and full utilization of the 
Center.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $51,775,000, as requested, for 
infrastructure improvements, IITT, and other activities. This 
is $4,900,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Of 
this amount, $5,380,000 is for facilities and $46,395,000 is 
for information integration and technology transformation.
    The Secret Service is directed to submit a multiyear 
investment and management plan for its Information Integration 
and Technology Transformation program for fiscal years 2014 
through 2017.

\1\Does not reflect the March l, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $59,523,000 for Management and 
Administration, $5,202,000 below the amount requested and 
$9,369,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. The 
budget request proposed an increase of $14,571,000 over the 
fiscal year 2013 level to respond to increased needs in 
management functions such as budget, finance, and acquisitions; 
human resource management; and civil rights and civil liberties 
services. An increase is also requested for facility costs. 
According to NPPD, while the mission responsibilities and 
number of FTE have grown substantially, management and 
administration funding has shrunk from 4.21 percent in fiscal 
year 2008 to 1.84 percent in 2012. This puts the Directorate at 
risk for failing to complete effective acquisition, efficient 
information technology procurement, timely hiring, and proper 
oversight of privacy civil rights and civil liberties for 
serious missions such as cybersecurity, law enforcement, and 
infrastructure protection. This also puts taxpayers' 
investments at an unacceptable level of risk. Unfortunately, 
the request for additional resources comes at a time when 
budget pressures require tightening of the administrative belt, 
not expansion. The Committee therefore provides a portion of 
the additional resources and directs NPPD to target the 
increases only to actions that will ensure wise management of 
resources and protection against misuse of Federal funds. NPPD 
shall brief the Committee within 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act on the expenditure plan. The briefing 
shall include a clear description of how the investment will 
protect taxpayer investment in the NPPD mission.
    The Committee notes that NPPD submitted an addendum to the 
budget request to restructure the PPA lines for 
``Infrastructure Protection and Information Security'' and 
understands the intent behind the realignment of resources is 
to promote better program management. Given the delay in 
finalizing the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations 
Act, 2013, the belated delivery of the fiscal year 2014 
President's budget request, and the uncertainty of 
sequestration, the Committee recommendation does not include 
such a realignment. NPPD is encouraged to submit a report to 
the Committee realigning resources, in the same format as 
proposed, using funding levels recommended to date by both the 
House of Representatives and the United States Senate, for 
potential use in future congressional action. The report should 
also include a 5-year history reflecting the realignment which 
will further assist the Committee in transparently 
demonstrating resources provided.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends total appropriations of 
$1,209,000,000 for Infrastructure Protection and Information 
Security programs, $7,006,000 above the amount requested and 
$52,996,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. The

                       INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION

    The Committee recommends $273,214,000 for Infrastructure 
Protection, $12,264,000 above the amount requested and 
$13,164,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. 
Infrastructure protection is critical to guard against loss of 
life and property. Small investments in information sharing, 
training, and government/private sector coordination can enable 
effective protection against, or response to, incidents. The 
explosions at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, 
demonstrate the potential for attacks where people gather and 
an effective response when entities work together. The 
explosion of the West Fertilizer Company in Texas, while 
apparently an act of negligence, serves as a reminder that 
chemicals cannot fall into the hands of bad actors. For these 
reasons, the Committee has included targeted increases for 
programs that enhance protection against known threats.
    Of the total amount provided for Infrastructure Protection, 
$66,134,000 is provided for Infrastructure Analysis and 
Planning, which is $8,159,000 above the request. The Office of 
Bombing Prevention shall be funded at no less than $10,504,000, 
which is $2,247,000 above the request and the same amount as 
fiscal year 2013. This funding will sustain needed training, 
information sharing, and awareness for State, local, and 
private sector entities regarding how terrorists use 
explosives, in addition to needed analysis of counter-
explosives requirements, capabilities, and gaps. The Committee 
is aware of the Office of Bombing Prevention's efforts to work 
with the National Guard on training and encourages the Office 
to analyze efficiencies that could be gained through 
coordination with the National Guard mission. The Committee 
further encourages the Office to continue to work with the 
Department of Defense on capabilities related to counter 
explosives, including the possible transfer, equipping, and 
storage of electronic countermeasures. The Office should also 
continue to explore applicable capabilities from defense 
programs that comply with domestic policies and protections, 
such as privacy.
    The Committee notes that to provide reliable analysis in a 
timely manner for notice--and especially no-notice--events, 
data and information must be readily available on a range of 
topics such as the electrical grid, oil and gas resources, 
flood projections, drought conditions, and pandemic models. The 
Committee is concerned that as budgets tighten, preparedness 
priorities are negatively impacted by the issue of the day. It 
is critical that NPPD maintain a robust infrastructure 
information and analysis capability for use in decisionmaking 
to prevent and respond to incidents. Therefore, the remaining 
increase provided for Infrastructure Analysis and Planning 
shall be used to ensure NPPD has readily accessible data 
available for quick analysis in the areas of highest risk. NPPD 
shall brief the Committee within 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act on the expenditure plan for funding 
allocations in the Infrastructure Analysis and Planning PPA.
    The National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center 
shall be funded at no less than $15,650,000, as requested.
    The Committee recommends no less than $18,000,000 for 
vulnerability assessments, as requested. The Committee notes 
that in conducting assessments on risks to critical 
infrastructure and key resources, interdependencies on 
associated infrastructure--including cyber--are often 
discovered. The Committee encourages NPPD to ensure this 
information is shared regionally to maximize the benefits of 
the assessments and facilitate planning for restoration of 
services post-disaster.
    The Committee provides the proposed increase in funds for 
infrastructure sector analysis which will combine critical 
infrastructure risk analysis, including cyber, with modeling 
and simulation to inform risk decisions and improve security 
and resilience for communities. The Committee is convinced that 
communities and the public can benefit from better coordination 
between NPPD programs oriented toward resiliency of 
infrastructure and FEMA programs dedicated to mitigation 
against disasters. NPPD and FEMA are directed to brief the 
Committee jointly, no later than 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act, on possibilities for program 
coordination between the two components, including information 
sharing among DHS components, Federal agencies, State and local 
partners, and the private sector.
    The Committee directs NPPD to fully fund training of safety 
and security professionals charged with public protection at 
large venues with large crowds. The Committee encourages the 
Department to continue strengthening existing partnerships with 
institutions and centers that have well-developed training 
programs for security personnel to meet safety and security 
requirements at large venues, including those that host 
professional, collegiate, and amateur sporting events. Such 
entities should possess unique resources, research, and 
programs that can be combined to enhance dissemination of 
effective security techniques to sports safety venue 
professionals.
    Of the total amount provided for Infrastructure Protection, 
$12,876,000 is provided for sector specific agency management, 
which is $4,653,000 above the request and the same amount as 
fiscal year 2013. The tragic explosion at the West Fertilizer 
Company facility in Texas revealed that the facility contained 
levels of ammonium nitrate that required it to register with 
DHS through the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards 
[CFATS] program. The facility had not registered and DHS was 
unaware of the presence of ammonium nitrate at the site. 
However, the facility had submitted a separate chemical 
security report to the Environmental Protection Agency that 
could have alerted DHS to the presence of chemicals of interest 
at this facility. This demonstrates the need for NPPD to have a 
more robust coordination effort to promote cooperation among 
industry and with other relevant Federal agencies in the 
chemical sector. NPPD is directed to support the Chemical 
Sector Coordination Council in an effort to develop 
recommendations to improve the coordination among Federal 
agencies, streamline reporting requirements, and improve the 
CFATS program to create efficiency and effectiveness. The 
recommendations shall be provided in a report directly to the 
Committee from the Council. Additional needed coordination 
efforts also apply to the 15 sister infrastructure sectors 
including transportation, energy, water and wastewater, and 
food and agriculture. NPPD is directed to brief the Committee 
no later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this act 
on how coordination efforts will be improved to maximize 
effectiveness.
    The Committee recommends $85,542,000 for Infrastructure 
Security Compliance, $248,000 below the request and $7,700,000 
above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Infrastructure 
Security Compliance funding is provided for implementation of 
the CFATS program. There are over 4,300 facilities covered by 
CFATS. Since its inception, over 3,000 facilities that would 
have been covered are now exempt from the program due to 
mitigation efforts identified and taken. The Committee notes 
that all tier one facilities will have approved plans by the 
third quarter of fiscal year 2014, according to NPPD. The Under 
Secretary of NPPD is directed to provide a report on the 
implementation of the CFATS program to the Committee on a 
semiannual basis that includes the number of: facilities 
covered, inspectors, completed inspections, inspections 
completed by region, pending inspections, days inspections are 
overdue, enforcements resulting from inspections, and 
enforcements overdue for resolution. This data should be 
delineated by tier. The first report shall be submitted no 
later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this act.
    The Committee notes a requirement, under title I, for the 
Deputy Secretary to continue semiannual reporting to the 
Committee on coordinating chemical security responsibilities 
with all relevant Departmental components and the Office of 
Management and Budget. NPPD is expected to continue its 
involvement in this effort.

                             CYBERSECURITY

    The Committee recommends $803,827,000 for Cybersecurity 
programs, $6,582,000 below the budget request and $47,997,000 
above the fiscal year 2013 level.
    The risk to cyberspace has been identified by the 
Administration and experts as both an economic and national 
security threat to the United States, with potential virtual 
and physical consequences. NPPD reports that in fiscal year 
2012 it responded to 70 incidents per month; processed 160,000 
incident reports from Federal agencies, infrastructure owners, 
and international partners; and received 9,500 files for 
malware analysis resulting in 7,455 actionable alerts. This is 
a clear threat to our way of life, the government, and the 
infrastructure which provides power, water, financial systems 
and more. To combat the threat it is imperative to develop not 
only technological advances and but also trained cyber experts.
    Of the total amount for cybersecurity, the Committee 
recommends $199,725,000 for Federal Network Security, of which 
$165,946,000 is to provide continuous monitoring and 
diagnostics for the civilian Federal computer network to detect 
malicious activity on government networks. While NPPD is 
leading the effort for continuous monitoring and diagnostics 
and funds are provided for standardizing and improving this 
capability across the Federal enterprise, the responsibility 
for information technology management, including security, 
remains with each Federal agency. As such, each agency must 
continue to plan and budget for security needs consistent with 
current law and policies as well as emerging threats and needs. 
NPPD shall provide its expertise and capabilities to 
supplement, but not supplant, the budget and responsibilities 
of other agencies. A general provision, first enacted in fiscal 
year 2013, is retained which requires quarterly reports on the 
progress of the implementation of this effort.
    The Committee supports NPPD's efforts to continually 
evaluate and improve the National Cybersecurity Protection 
System [NCPS], known as Einstein. Deployed in 2004, the system 
has been upgraded in stages which continue to evolve with both 
technological advances and the threat. A comprehensive review 
of the program's effectiveness in terms of current and planned 
capabilities and gaps has not been completed for Congress in 
several years. The Committee directs GAO to complete an in-
depth review of the National Cybersecurity Protection System, 
including the system's ability to meet the stated mission, 
NPPD's effectiveness in designing the requirements for future 
stages of the system, and Federal agency cooperation and 
consistency in adopting the system. A report with the findings 
shall be submitted to the Committees no later than 270 days 
after the date of enactment of this act.
    The Committee recommends $25,892,000 for Global 
Cybersecurity Management, of which no less than $15,824,000 is 
for cybersecurity education. The Committee is concerned about 
the development of the current and future cybersecurity 
workforce and whether it is adequate to address the public's 
cyber vulnerability. The Committee notes the proposed 
$6,864,000 reduction below the fiscal year 2013 level for 
cybersecurity education programs is inconsistent with the 
stated goal of educating 1,700,000 students by 2021. The 
justification for the delay is to serve higher priority 
cybersecurity efforts; however, investments proposed in 
technology will not be useful if there is not a trained 
workforce to support those tools in future years. The Committee 
expects DHS to submit a fiscal year 2015 budget request that 
fully funds its stated goal with regard to cybersecurity 
education or submit a revised goal with a justification 
outlining how the revision meets the Nation's security needs. 
In addition, the Committee strongly encourages the Department 
to consider how veterans, particularly wounded warriors, can be 
integrated into the cybersecurity workforce.
    The Committee directs the Office of the Undersecretary of 
NPPD and the Office of the Administrator of FEMA to brief the 
Committee on the likely physical and psychological consequences 
of a cyber attack, including the potential magnitude of the 
effect; State, local, and tribal government preparedness and 
response coordination; and Federal coordination and readiness.
    The Committee understands that, per the President's 
Executive Order on Improving Critical Infrastructure and 
Cybersecurity, Federal agencies are developing recommendations 
to provide incentives for the private sector to take 
cybersecurity measures. The Committee expects the 
Administration to provide a comprehensive review of the 
incentives to Congress, the private sector, and the public for 
input as soon as practicable.

                     NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY REVIEW

    In March of 2012, the Department completed the first 
National Cybersecurity Review assessing the cybersecurity 
capabilities of State and local jurisdictions by surveying 162 
States, territories, and localities across the country. This 
well-executed effort strengthened partnerships between levels 
of government, created a baseline of the cybersecurity posture 
of multiple levels of government, and identified areas on which 
to focus future cybersecurity efforts. According to NPPD, the 
survey will be updated every other year in order to measure 
progress and identify emerging areas of concern. The Committee 
expects the second survey will be completed in fiscal year 
2014. NPPD is directed to brief the Committees no later than 30 
days after the date of enactment of this act on the timeframe 
needed to complete the review, the stakeholders that will be 
included in the process, and any planned changes in the focus 
of the effort. NPPD is encouraged to consider privacy as a 
focus area in future surveys.

                             COMMUNICATIONS

    The Committee recommends $131,959,000 for communications 
programs, $1,324,000 above the amount requested and $8,165,000 
below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    Of the total amount recommended, $37,946,000 is for the 
Office of Emergency Communications [OEC], $1,430,000 above the 
amount requested. On July 6, 2012, President Obama issued 
Executive Order 13618 which clarified the national security and 
emergency preparedness communications responsibilities for the 
Federal government. As a result, DHS realigned programs by 
combining the traditional interoperable communications support 
provided by the Office of Communications with the technical 
capabilities of the National Communications System to address 
emergency communications issues. This streamlining of Federal 
functions does not reduce DHS's responsibility to promote and 
support State and local efforts for interoperable 
communications and effective use of technology advancements. In 
a recent GAO report (GAO-12-343) on emergency communications, 
challenges were identified that are likely to slow 
implementation of a public safety broadband network. Several 
Federal agencies have responsibilities in this area, but 
specifically, GAO recommends that DHS work with Federal, State, 
and local partners to identify and communicate opportunities 
for joint procurement of devices that will be used on the 
broadband network to ensure public safety agencies are not 
overpaying for handheld communications devices. The Committee 
provides additional funding to ensure OEC can fulfill the need 
for planning, testing, technical assistance, and 
standardization for efficient use of the communications 
infrastructure.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,301,824,000, as requested, for 
salaries and expenses of the Federal Protective Service for 
fiscal year 2014. This amount is fully offset by collections of 
security fees.

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public Law 112-25.

    The Federal Protective Service is funded through fees 
assessed to participating agencies by the Office of Management 
and Budget [OMB]. A provision is included in the bill requiring 
the Secretary and the Director of OMB to certify that FPS is 
sufficiently funded to support 1,371 FTE, including no less 
than 1,007 police officers, inspectors, area commanders, and 
special agents, by December 31, 2013.
    A provision was included in the Department of Homeland 
Security Appropriations Acts of 2012 and 2013 requiring FPS to 
submit a strategic human capital plan that aligns fee 
collections to personnel requirements based on a current threat 
assessment. FPS submitted an Interim Strategic Human Capital 
Plan on April 10, 2013. The plan describes how a workforce 
framework will be implemented based on an FTE level of 1,371. 
While this information provides insight into the current 
capability within the current budget, it does not fulfill the 
congressional requirement to determine the need for resources 
based on risk to Federal employees and the officers that 
protect them. Without such a guiding document, decisionmakers 
cannot reliably match resources to threat. A provision is 
included to again require a strategic human capital plan that 
aligns fee collections to personnel requirements based on a 
current threat assessment and directs FPS to meet the spirit of 
the law. Separately, the Committee directs GAO to review the 
FPS workforce size and its area of responsibility in comparison 
to similar law enforcement agencies and provide a report the 
Committee on areas of risk FPS should consider addressing.
    The Committee also understands FPS is currently engaged in 
an effort to link operations, performance, and cost data. The 
Committee directs FPS to complete this effort as it is critical 
in addressing the issues found by GAO related to the fee 
structure and the timing of budget decisions (GAO-11-492). Two 
elements of the overall current effort are to complete an 
activity-based costing program and finalize implementation of 
the Modified Infrastructure Survey Tool, which will replace the 
Risk Assessment Management Program. Both efforts are in the 
final stages and the Committee encourages such efforts to be 
completed expeditiously. The Office of the Under Secretary for 
NPPD, in conjunction with the Director of FPS, shall brief the 
Committee not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on the implementation of the management and budget 
improvement efforts.

                                MISSION

    The mission of the Office of Biometric Identity Management 
[OBIM] is to collect, maintain, and share biometric data with 
authorized DHS, Federal, State, tribal, local law enforcement 
agencies, and strategic foreign partners. As the agency 
responsible for maintaining the Automated Biometric 
Identification System [IDENT] and a biometric center of 
expertise, OBIM provides an invaluable capability to ensure 
national security, public safety and the integrity of the 
Nation's immigration system. OBIM is charged with fostering 
full interoperability and real-time data sharing among the 
Homeland Security, Justice and Defense Departments' biometric 
identity management systems. OBIM also must ensure that 
biometrics can be used as the means to link associated 
biographic information such that individuals can be uniquely 
identified, serving its customers' security, facilitation, and 
customer service needs.

                             RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $205,967,000 for OBIM. This is 
$205,967,000 above the request and $26,148,000 below the amount 
provided in fiscal year 2013. This level includes: $42,747,000 
for Salaries and Expenses [S&E]; $15,926,000 for Systems 
Engineering; $127,224,000 for Operations and Maintenance [O&M]; 
and $20,070,000 for Identity Management and Screening Services. 
The Committee's recommendation continues the direction provided 
in Public Law 113-6, realigning US-VISIT funding to this 
account, ICE and CBP, and includes the transfer of the Arrival 
Departure Information System [ADIS] to CBP. The realignment of 
funds reflects the missions of these entities. ICE is 
responsible for conducting overstay analysis and CBP is 
responsible for carrying out entry and exit program policy and 
operations.
    Language is included in the bill requiring a multi-year 
investment and management plan be submitted with the 
President's budget request that justifies current and future 
requirements for OBIM. The Committee directs OBIM to continue 
efforts to identify efficiencies under this new structure 
through reassessing its staffing, travel, and contractor 
support requirements.

                        FOCUSED CUSTOMER SERVICE

    OBIM is expected to continue its strong coordination with 
DHS and interagency partners to ensure appropriate focus on 
customer needs and service. As a forum for this focus, OBIM 
shall reconstitute the US-VISIT Executive Stakeholder Board, 
considering any appropriate changes that would enhance the 
Board's effectiveness.
    US-VISIT has been in discussions with TSA and the Office of 
the Chief Security Officer for years regarding enrolling 
additional populations into IDENT. OBIM now has the appropriate 
mission focus to address the mission needs for enrolling TSA's 
special vetted populations as well as departmental employees 
and contractors. These populations and other potential future 
populations would enable better security and improve customer 
service. Consequently, OBIM is directed to provide a briefing 
on its progress and strategy for these enrollments not later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act.

                            UNIQUE IDENTITY

    DHS is encouraged to work cooperatively with the 
Departments of Justice, Defense, and State to standardize and 
share biometric information. The Committee directs OBIM to 
continue semi-annual briefings on progress toward integrating 
the various systems, including Unique Identity, to describe 
existing capability gaps and a methodology by which to close 
them. Further, the Committee encourages OBIM to continue its 
data sharing and connectivity improvement efforts with the 
Intelligence Community.

                ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE INFORMATION SYSTEM

    The recommended funding level reflects the movement of the 
Arrival Departure Information System [ADIS] to CBP. The 
Committee directs OBIM to support the successful transition of 
this system to CBP. Further, the Committee believes that the 
transition of ADIS gives OBIM the ability to focus completely 
on the effectiveness of IDENT and its modernization needs.
    Reiterating direction provided in the report accompanying 
Public Law 113-6, the Committee directs OBIM to undertake a 
rigorous review of its Information Technology costs and 
modernization needs and to outline proposals for efficiencies 
and cost savings in OBIM's investment and management plan. OBIM 
is encouraged to apply efficiencies and cost savings to 
continue the Unique Identity program and modernize IDENT.
    OBIM also is directed to brief the Committees on a 
semiannual basis on its workload and service levels, staffing, 
modernization efforts, and other operations. All of the OBIM-
related semiannual briefings should occur at the same time.

                                BIOWATCH

    The Committee recommends $87,609,000 for the BioWatch 
Program, $3,000,000 below the amount requested and $2,332,000 
above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. This funding 
sustains current operations. The President's request includes 
significant increases for training, guidance, concept of 
operation, and exercise activities. A portion of those 
increases are provided and OHA is directed to prioritize the 
available funds based on risk.
    No funds are provided for acquisition of Generation 3 
technology, consistent with the President's budget request. A 
recent report by the Homeland Security Studies and Analysis 
Institute found that while DHS should proceed with a Generation 
3 acquisition program, it should not do so until plans are 
further developed and program documentation is updated. 
Unfortunately, the established deadlines to complete the 
necessary work for progression of this program have not been 
met in a timely manner. An analysis of alternatives and 
reevaluation of the mission statement is currently underway and 
results are expected in the autumn of 2013. The Committee 
supports ongoing efforts to improve the Nation's biological 
detection capabilities. DHS is directed to complete its review 
of the program without delay, and to brief the Committee no 
later than September 15, 2013, on the results of the analysis 
of alternatives, the reevaluation of the mission statement, and 
a clear path forward for development of the next generation 
technology. As part of the review, DHS should consult with 
other Federal agencies that have either technical or program 
expertise that can lend to evaluation of the program, including 
the Departments of Defense and Health and Human Services.
    In addition, the Committee is interested in an assessment 
of the current BioWatch capability. As the analysis of 
alternatives for Generation 3 is already underway, this 
assessment may be conducted separately to be completed no later 
than November 1, 2013. The assessment shall evaluate the cost 
benefit of current capability and consider alternative options 
to further our Nation's ability to detect and identify 
biological agents.

              NATIONAL BIOSURVEILLANCE INTEGRATION CENTER

    The Committee recommends $8,000,000 for the National 
Biosurveillance Integration Center [NBIC], the same amount as 
requested and $4,983,000 below the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013.
    The Committee notes a strategic plan for NBIC to promote 
early warning for and share situational awareness of biological 
events was published in November 2012. The plan establishes 
initiatives that may be measured and validated to ensure 
specific goals are accomplished, including dissemination of 
timely, useful, integrated Federal information related to 
incidents and threats. In addition, as part of the NBIC 
strategy, pilot projects are completed to demonstrate new 
capabilities for operational implementation. OHA is directed to 
brief the Committee on the progress of the implementation of 
the strategic plan and the specific outcomes of the pilot 
projects no later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this act. The briefing shall include identification of 
obstacles to the implementation of the strategic plan and the 
timeframe for completion of the pilot programs. The ongoing 
costs and new needs for pilot projects should be identified in 
the brief. Pilot projects shall be competitively awarded in 
fiscal year 2014.

                        CHEMICAL DEFENSE PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $824,000 for the Chemical Defense 
Program, the same amount as requested and $1,173,000 below the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    The Committee notes OHA is in the process of seeking public 
input before awarding demonstration projects aimed at 
developing a comprehensive chemical defense framework. OHA is 
encouraged to finalize the awards as soon as the appropriate 
input is considered. The Committee believes all high-risk 
situations should be considered for study to ensure useful 
information is made available on mitigation and response 
measures. OHA is directed to brief the Committee no later than 
August 2, 2013, on the timeframe to finalize the awards and the 
risk factors that will be considered in awarding demonstration 
projects.

                       PLANNING AND COORDINATION

    The Committee recommends $4,995,000 for Planning and 
Coordination, the same amount as requested and $405,000 below 
the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. The Committee is 
concerned that proposed reductions to programs in planning and 
coordination will begin to erode future capacity for OHA to 
implement the workforce health mission as well as its 
responsibilities related to HSPD-9 regarding food, water, agro-
defense, veterinary, and zoonotic diseases. OHA is directed to 
brief the Committee regarding how mission capability has been 
maintained, within the resources requested and provided, no 
later than December 17, 2013.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

    The Committee recommends $26,261,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses, $1,108,000 below the amount requested and $406,000 
below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. OHA has 
consistently lapsed funding due to slow hiring.

                  Federal Emergency Management Agency

    The primary mission of the Federal Emergency Management 
Agency [FEMA] is to reduce the loss of life and property and 
protect the Nation from all hazards, including natural 
disasters, acts of terrorism, and other manmade disasters, by 
leading and supporting the Nation in a risk-based, 
comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, 
protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. The following 
table summarizes the Committee's recommendations as compared to 
the fiscal year 2013 and budget request levels:

    Funding for FEMA Salaries and Expenses provides for the 
development and maintenance of an integrated, nationwide 
capability to prepare for, mitigate against, respond to, and 
recover from the consequences of major disasters and 
emergencies, regardless of cause, in partnership with Federal 
agencies, State, local, and tribal governments, volunteer 
organizations, and the private sector. The Salaries and 
Expenses account supports FEMA's programs by coordinating 
between headquarters and regional offices the policy, 
managerial, resource, and administrative actions.

                       PROGRAM LEVEL COMPARISIONS

    A comparison of FEMA funding levels between the fiscal year 
2013 enacted, budget request, and Committee recommendation 
level is complicated by the Administration's proposed 
realignment of funding between the ``Salaries and Expenses'' 
and ``State and Local Programs'' appropriations. Congressional 
direction to present the budget request in same account and PPA 
structure as provided in the annual DHS Appropriations Acts has 
been consistently ignored. Therefore, in order to promote 
transparency, the following table shows comparable levels of 
funding by PPA for the ``Salaries and Expenses'' appropriation, 
in the same format that funds have been appropriated since 
fiscal year 2012. A similar table is included under the ``State 
and Local Programs'' appropriation to provide an accurate 
comparison of grant funding.

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public Law 112-25.

                           PROGRAM ACTIVITIES

    Of the total amount made available, $32,000,000 is included 
for Mount Weather capital improvements and operations, as 
requested.
    Of the total amounts provided, not less than: $2,000,000 is 
for the Emergency Management Assistance Compact under the 
Preparedness and Protection PPA; $2,589,000 is for the National 
Hurricane Program under the Response PPA; $8,798,000 is for the 
National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program and $9,360,000 is 
for the National Dam Safety Program under the Mitigation PPA. 
Funding levels for each of these programs are maintained at 
fiscal year 2013 levels.
    The Committee provides $10,496,000 for evaluations and 
assessments, as requested, in the Administration and Regional 
Offices PPA. The release of the second annual National 
Preparedness Report highlights the continuing need for a 
collective set of reliable data sources to continue assessing 
the preparedness of the Nation. While recognizing FEMA's recent 
efforts to assess local, State, and Federal threats, hazards, 
capabilities and preparedness, and use that data to inform 
grant making decisions, the Committee remains concerned that 
specific, crosscutting performance metrics and capability gaps 
have not been completely developed. FEMA is directed to brief 
the Committee on how a measurement system will be finalized to 
assess the Nation's risk and the specific gaps in capability. 
The briefing should clearly describe how the system will be 
repeatable so Congress can use it to evaluate progress and 
consider resources that may be needed to address issues. The 
Committee expects that future grant awards will incorporate 
these performance metrics and address response, preparedness, 
or mitigation gaps.
    The Committee notes that it has been almost 3 years since 
the Local, State, Tribal, and Federal Preparedness Task Force 
provided a report to Congress that took stock of preparedness 
efforts in the Nation and made recommendations for improvement. 
Since then, programs at all levels of Government to assess 
readiness and fill preparedness gaps have changed. FEMA is 
directed to support a reconvening of the task force to evaluate 
progress made on the recommendations and make recommendations 
on new issues that have emerged. The task force shall provide 
the report directly to the Committee.
    FEMA shall continue to encourage State and local 
governments to develop mutual aid agreements and provide 
technical assistance when necessary.

                        AUTOMATION MODERNIZATION

    The Committee provides $5,000,000 above the total amount 
requested to continue FEMA's automation modernization program. 
The funding and the report required in this and previous 
Appropriations Acts provide the means and structure for FEMA to 
modernize its systems for better performance and future costs 
savings. FEMA shall continue to include the DHS CIO in planning 
efforts to ensure compatibility with Department systems where 
practicable.
    The Committee recognizes that citizens and governments in 
the United States use social media during a disaster in various 
ways. The Office of the Administrator is directed to brief the 
Committee not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on FEMA's current use of social media during 
disasters, the ability to coordinate social media activity with 
State and local governments, and innovative and promising 
emerging technologies that could fill information need gaps.

             OFFICE OF NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION COORDINATION

    The Committee recommends $4,293,000 for the Office of 
National Capital Region Coordination, $1,691,000 above the 
amount requested and $6,000 above the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. The Committee recognizes the unique responsibilities 
of the Office in coordinating emergency preparedness and 
response activity in a high-population area, where the 
workforce is made up of many independently operating Federal 
agencies and the District of Columbia, and where National 
leaders and foreign dignitaries are ever present. The Committee 
directs the Office to work expeditiously on its high-priority 
activities such as aligning Federal building emergency plans 
and evacuation procedures to facilitate an orderly evacuation 
for no-notice events; and facilitating daily data sharing 
across local, State, and the plethora of Federal sources for 
situational awareness.
    The Committee remains concerned that planning for 
evacuation of the National Capitol Region during a disaster has 
not incorporated all of the pertinent officials from the 
appropriate local communities and States. Therefore, the 
Committee notes the permanent provision included in the 
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2013, 
requiring inclusion of the Governors of the State of West 
Virginia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the National 
Capital Region decision-making process for mass evacuations. 
FEMA is directed to include officials from the counties and 
municipalities that contain the evacuation routes and their 
tributaries in the planning process.
    On July 2, FEMA issued a notice announcing the realignment 
of the Office of National Capital Region Coordination. The 
realignment plan is inconsistent with the Homeland Security Act 
[HSA] of 2002, the Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2013, and the President's budget request 
for fiscal years 2013 and 2014. First, the realignment was 
developed without stakeholder input as specifically prescribed 
in the HSA. Second, the plan reduces resources for the Office 
by over 30 percent in overall funding and 53 percent in 
personnel when compared to the funding provided in fiscal year 
2013. Finally, the plan relocates responsibilities to the FEMA 
Region 3 Office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which was not 
proposed in the President's budget. Such a realignment requires 
congressional approval. FEMA is directed to cease any 
realignment of the ONCRC immediately.
    The Committee has long supported making the ONCRC more 
effective through direction to implement programs that serve 
the unique needs of the area with its large Federal workforce 
and need for multi-jurisdiction cooperation in a high risk 
area. Unfortunately, the Committee has never been convinced 
such an effort was made by FEMA through the irresponsible 
budget proposals seen in past years that simply cut funding 
with no reform or explanation of how the mission will be better 
met. Effective planning for a realignment can only be achieved 
by receiving input from the District of Columbia, State, local, 
and regional authorities. To do otherwise is inconsistent with 
congressional intent in establishing the Office and with 
emergency management principles. Should FEMA decide to pursue a 
proposed realignment to Congress, stakeholder input and 
concurrence with the plan will be critical for serious 
consideration.

                URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE RESPONSE SYSTEM

    The Committee recommends $35,180,000 for the Urban Search 
and Rescue Response System, $7,667,000 above the request and 
$46,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Funding 
will sustain the existing system and additional chemical, 
biological, nuclear, radiological, and explosives capabilities 
gained in fiscal year 2012.

                     SANDY RECOVERY IMPROVEMENT ACT

    The Committee commends FEMA for developing a task force and 
schedule of work to implement all provisions of the Sandy 
Recovery Improvement Act, which was enacted on January 29, 2013 
(Public Law 113-2, Division B). In order to hasten recovery and 
augment mitigation efforts in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy 
and other disasters throughout the country, FEMA is directed to 
remain focused on this effort and provide the necessary 
resources to continue it in earnest.

                         CHILDREN AND DISASTERS

    The National Commission on Children and Disasters 
highlighted the unique disaster-related needs of America's 73 
million children. The Committee notes the progress that 
focusing on these unique needs has occurred in recent disaster 
response and recovery, particularly by FEMA regional offices. 
The Committee directs FEMA to sustain its ongoing efforts to 
address children's disaster-related needs both in headquarters 
and regional offices. Further, FEMA is directed to provide an 
updated report, not later than 120 days after the date of 
enactment of this act, on grant expenditures related to 
ensuring the needs of children are met, including all sources 
of FEMA grants, such as preparedness and mitigation. FEMA is 
directed to include in the report an additional section which 
identifies the lead senior employee that promotes and sustains 
meeting the needs of children and what specific activities were 
completed to proactively prepare for the long term needs of 
children. FEMA is encouraged to focus such activities on 
providing assistance to States to include the needs of children 
in their planning efforts.

                               RESILIENCE

    The Committee encourages FEMA to continue its efforts 
related to the Strategic Foresight Initiative, which serves the 
emergency management community by looking at factors that are 
likely to change, such as demographic shifts and technological 
advances, in the context of all hazards.
    The Committee is convinced that communities and the public 
can benefit from better coordination between NPPD programs 
oriented toward resiliency of infrastructure and FEMA programs 
dedicated to mitigation against disasters. NPPD and FEMA are 
directed to brief the Committee jointly, no later than 60 days 
after the date of enactment of this act, on possibilities for 
program coordination between the two components, including 
information sharing among DHS components, Federal agencies, 
State and local partners, and the private sector.

                          DEMOLITION STANDARDS

    FEMA requires that newly purchased, condemned buildings 
must be demolished within 90 days of purchase. The brevity of 
the 90-day requirement often leads to long delays before a 
purchase is closed by grantees or subgrantees, who prefer to 
wait until after they have received required environmental and 
historical approvals before finalizing a purchase. These delays 
can impose hardship on the owner of damaged or affected 
properties, who must wait to receive the funds needed to 
rebuild. To resolve this problem FEMA is directed to provide 
270 days for tearing down buildings or establish a more 
reasonable demolition standard.

                            FIRE MITIGATION

    Over the last decade, wildfires have caused an average of 
over $1,000,000,000 in economic damages, killed over 150 
Americans, and destroyed thousands of homes and other 
structures across the Nation. The six worst wildfire seasons in 
the past 50 years in the United States have all occurred since 
2000. The Committee is concerned that mitigation efforts are 
not keeping pace with the growing risk. FEMA is directed to 
provide a report to the Committee no later than 120 days after 
the date of enactment of this act on the efforts being made to 
mitigate wildfires including FEMA technical assistance, 
information sharing, and grant expenditures for the last 5 
years. FEMA should also identify any funding obstacles for 
wildfires in its current mitigation programs.

                          BUDGET PRESENTATION

    The Committee directs FEMA to submit its fiscal year 2015 
budget request, including justification materials, by office. 
Each office and FEMA region shall include (1) budget detail by 
object classification; (2) the number of FTE on-board; (3) the 
number of FTE vacancies; and (4) the appropriations account(s) 
used to support the office and the programs managed by the 
office. The level of detail provides improved transparency and 
refined tracking of actual spending.
    The Committee is disappointed that FEMA has consistently 
ignored congressional direction to present the budget request 
in the same structure as it is appropriated. The Administrator 
of FEMA is again directed to present the fiscal year 2015 
budget request in the same account and PPA structure as 
provided in this bill and report. If in the Administration's 
view, there is a reason to adjust the format, the Committee 
directs FEMA to request such adjustments in an addendum with a 
clear justification for how the changes facilitate better 
resource management and transparency in spending.

                       OFFICE OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

    The Committee expects the Office of External Affairs to 
pursue more effective ways to facilitate FEMA's communication 
with Congress and the public. At times it takes the Agency too 
long to provide information to Congress and that information is 
not always complete. The Office leadership should address this 
issue and develop strategies to more effectively communicate 
and engage with the public, associations, and other interested 
stakeholders. For example, the Agency does not fully leverage 
opportunities to explain the value of mitigation measures 
promoted and funded through FEMA or to highlight the state and 
local capabilities that FEMA's preparedness grant funds have 
helped build. Continually missing opportunities to communicate 
the importance of FEMA's mission and its effectiveness in 
emergency management will make it more difficult for FEMA to be 
successful. The Committee regrets having to address these 
issues in this report; however, multiple requests to improve in 
these areas have not been adequately responded to. The 
Committee directs the Administrator to provide a report within 
120 days of the date of enactment of this act on specific 
measures being taken to strengthen FEMA's ability to 
communicate accurate and timely information to Congress, 
emergency managers, and the public. The report should detail 
improvements on how congressional direction and requests are 
tracked, managed, and resolved, and the opportunities the 
Office of External Affairs has to engage directly with the 
Administrator and his office.

                       PROGRAM LEVEL COMPARISIONS

    A comparison of FEMA funding levels between the fiscal year 
2013 enacted, budget request, and Committee recommendation 
level is complicated by the Administrations' proposed 
realignment of funding between the ``Salaries and Expenses'' 
and ``State and Local Programs'' appropriation. Congressional 
direction to present the budget request in same account and PPA 
structure as provided in the annual DHS Appropriations Act has 
been consistently ignored. Therefore, in order to promote 
transparency, the following table shows comparable levels of 
funding by PPA for the ``State and Local Programs'' 
appropriation, in the same format that funds have been 
appropriated since fiscal year 2012. A similar table is 
included under the ``Salaries and Expenses'' appropriation to 
provide an accurate comparison of grant funding.

                              GRANT REFORM

    The Committee notes that the budget request includes a 
proposal for grant reform, similar to the fiscal year 2013 
request. The Committee did not include the proposed reform in 
fiscal year 2013 since it lacked needed detail and stakeholder 
input. Further, the Committee encouraged the Secretary and the 
Administrator of FEMA to work with the committees of 
jurisdiction to refine the proposal. While the Administration 
has indicated a legislative proposal will be provided to the 
authorizing committees of jurisdiction, no such proposal has 
been received. Therefore, funds are appropriated in the same 
manner as fiscal year 2013. A general provision is included 
prohibiting the implementation of grant reform until 
Congressional action on the matter has occurred.

                           GRANTS MANAGEMENT

    The Committee includes specific timeframes for grant dollar 
distribution. For each of the grant programs, funding 
opportunity announcements shall be issued in 60 days, 
applicants shall apply within 80 days after announcements are 
made, and FEMA shall act on the application within 65 days 
after applications are due.
    The Department is encouraged to require State and local 
governments to address child care services and facilities in 
response and recovery plans, exercises, and training. 
Additionally, the Committee is concerned that State and local 
cybersecurity issues are not receiving the needed resources and 
attention, and the Department is encouraged to require State 
and local governments to include their Chief Information 
Officers in planning efforts. The Committee is concerned that 
drinking water and sanitation security needs, especially 
related to emergency response initiatives, are not adequately 
addressed. FEMA is encouraged to require State and local 
governments to include rural water associations in planning 
efforts. The Committee encourages FEMA to consider the need for 
severe weather alert systems and reverse 9-1-1 notification 
systems when evaluating grant applications.
    FEMA shall consider the use of fiduciary agents when 
applicants are managing grants across many jurisdictions, such 
as in the port security grant program.

                 STATE HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $453,000,000 for the State 
Homeland Security Grant Program [SHSGP], of which $46,600,000 
shall be for Operation Stonegarden. Activities previously 
funded under Metropolitan Medical Response System, Citizens 
Corps, Regional Catastrophic Preparedness, Emergency Operations 
Centers, Driver's Licenses Security Program, Buffer Zone 
Protection Program, and the Interoperable Emergency 
Communication Grant Programs in fiscal year 2011 are eligible 
for funding under SHSGP.
    Operation Stonegarden grants shall continue to be 
competitively awarded and shall not be restricted to any 
particular border. As in previous years, FEMA is directed to 
ensure all border States shall be eligible to apply in fiscal 
year 2014.

                     URBAN AREA SECURITY INITATIVE

    The Committee recommends $614,152,000 for the Urban Areas 
Security Initiative [UASI], of which $13,000,000 shall be for 
nonprofit entities determined to be at high risk by the 
Secretary. Eligibility for nonprofit entities shall not be 
limited to UASI communities. Activities previously funded under 
Metropolitan Medical Response System, Citizens Corps, Regional 
Catastrophic Preparedness, Buffer Zone Protection Program, 
Emergency Operations Centers, and the Interoperable Emergency 
Communication Grant Programs in fiscal year 2011 are eligible 
for funding under UASI.
    The Committee notes that the 9/11 Act requires FEMA to 
conduct a risk assessment for the 100 most populous 
metropolitan areas annually. All such areas are eligible for 
UASI funding based on threat, vulnerability, and consequence.
    The Committee notes that security costs for National 
Special Security Events, and similarly assessed special events 
with extra security needs, are an eligible expense under SHSGP 
and UASI, and such events should be considered in awarding 
grants.

              LAW ENFORCEMENT TERRORISM PREVENTION PROGRAM

    In accordance with section 2006 of the Homeland Security 
Act of 2002, the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program 
[LETPP] is funded through a required set aside of 25 percent of 
the funds appropriated through the SHSGP and UASI programs. The 
Committee directs FEMA to provide clear guidance to State and 
urban areas to ensure that the intent of LETPP is fully 
realized. FEMA is directed to provide an update of the report 
on expenditures for prevention activities, as required in 
Senate Report 112-74 no later than 120 days after the date of 
enactment of this act.

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

    The Committee recommends $100,640,000 for Public 
Transportation Security Assistance, Railroad Security 
Assistance and Over-the-Road Bus Security Assistance. Of the 
recommended amount, no less than $10,000,000 is for Amtrak 
security needs.

                          PORT SECURITY GRANTS

    The Committee recommends $100,640,000 for the Port Security 
Grant Program. FEMA is directed to work with stakeholders of 
the port security grant program to identify ways to expedite 
the grant review process and brief the Committee no later than 
120 days after the date of enactment of this act on the 
specific steps that can be taken to shorten the length of time 
for obligation of grants.

                   EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND EXERCISES

    The Committee recommends $233,568,000 for Education, 
Training, and Exercises. Of this amount, the Committee 
recommends $64,905,000 for the Center for Domestic Preparedness 
and notes a permanent provision in the Department of Homeland 
Security Appropriations Act, 2013, regarding training conducted 
at the Center. A provision is included permitting the 
Administrator to use the funds provided under paragraph (5) in 
this act to acquire real property for the purpose of 
establishing or appropriately extending the security buffer 
zones for FEMA-owned training facilities. Funding used for such 
purpose shall only come from funds specifically appropriated to 
the facility for which the property is acquired.
    Within the total, the Committee includes $98,000,000 for 
the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium, instead of 
$60,000,000 for Training Partnership Grants, as proposed in the 
budget which combines and reduces current first responder 
training. The Consortium, authorized by the 9/11 Act, has 
conducted training in all 50 States and each U.S. territory. 
Over 1,900,000 first responders have been trained to date. The 
existing Consortium members have proven to be an effective 
delivery system for this important training. Dismantling the 
current program and replacing proven instructional bodies with 
an undefined system of providers would diminish the quality and 
consistency of training available to first responders. Funding 
shall be distributed in accordance with the 9/11 Act and as in 
previous years.
    The Committee includes $20,569,000 for the Emergency 
Management Institute, the same amount as requested and 
$2,787,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. The 
Committee notes the development of training for prevention and 
response to mass casualty shooting incidents and expects 
courses to continue through fiscal year 2014 as proposed.
    The Committee includes $29,000,000 for continuing training 
grants, instead of $60,000,000 for Training Partnership Grants, 
as proposed in the budget which combines and reduces current 
first responder training. The Committee supports full funding 
of programs that deliver homeland security curricula in the 
form of executive education programs and accredited master's 
degree education. The Committee regrets that 10 first 
responders were tragically killed in the explosion of the West 
Fertilizer Company facility in Texas on April 17, 2013. While 
it appears the local response plan called for an evacuation, 
firefighters rushed into danger. To prevent unnecessary loss of 
life, of the total amount provided for continuing training 
grants, no less than $2,000,000 shall be for hazardous 
materials training for first responders. Also, FEMA shall 
consider the training needs of State and local first responders 
in preparedness and response to cybersecurity attacks and 
incidents.
    The Committee includes $21,094,000 for the National 
Exercise Program.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $675,000,000 for firefighter 
assistance grants, including $337,500,000 for firefighter 
assistance grants, and $337,500,000 for firefighter staffing 
grants, to remain available until September 30, 2015. This is 
$5,000,000 above the amount requested under the ``State and 
Local Programs'' appropriation and $890,000 above the amount 
provided in fiscal year 2013.
    The Committee directs the Department to continue the 
present practice of funding applications according to local 
priorities and those established by the United States Fire 
Administration, and to continue direct funding to fire 
departments and the peer review process. The Committee expects 
that the rural fire department funding level will be consistent 
with the previous five-year history and FEMA shall brief the 
Committee no later than 30 days after the date of enactment of 
this act if there is an anticipated fluctuation.

                EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANTS

Appropriations, 2013\1\.................................    $349,538,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.
\2\Budget proposes $350,000,000 under ``State and Local Programs.''

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $350,000,000 for Emergency 
Management Performance Grants [EMPG], which is the same amount 
as requested under the ``State and Local Programs'' 
appropriation, and $462,000 above the amount provided in fiscal 
year 2013. The Committee directs FEMA to retain EMPG as a 
separate grant program, and not to combine its funding with any 
other grant allocation or application process.
    The Committee notes the purpose of EMPG is to sustain an 
all-hazards emergency capability at the State and local level. 
The Committee is concerned that in an effort to harmonize grant 
programs, generic grant guidance reduces clarity regarding the 
targeted purpose of these grants. It should be noted, FEMA 
capabilities are only used when a State is overwhelmed in its 
ability to support a disaster and the President declares 
Federal assistance is needed. While there were 99 
Presidentially declared disasters in fiscal year 2011, 250 
gubernatorial emergencies were declared, 13,041 events required 
State assistance, and 44,428 local and tribal events were 
supported using EMPG funded staff or assets, according to the 
National Emergency Management Association. This level of 
activity and the requirement for all levels of government to 
work together for unexpected disasters demonstrates the 
criticality of sustaining a Nationwide capability. The Federal 
contribution through EMPG, which is a little over $1 per 
citizen, is matched by over 50 percent from State and local 
governments. This system enables an efficient response and 
assists in reducing costs to the Disaster Relief Fund. FEMA is 
directed to take into account the unique purpose of EMPG, as 
defined in the Stafford Act, when developing grant guidance.

              RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2013\1\.................................     -$1,443,000

\1\Does not reflect the March l, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee provides for the receipt and expenditure of 
fees collected, as authorized by Public Law 105-276. The budget 
estimates fee collections to exceed expenditures by $1,272,000 
in fiscal year 2014.

                   UNITED STATES FIRE ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2013\1\.................................     $43,942,000
Budget estimate, 2014...................................      41,306,000
House allowance.........................................      44,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      44,000,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $44,000,000 for the USFA, which is 
$2,694,000 above the amount requested and $58,000 above the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2013. The amount included above 
the request will allow for the continued development of the 
National Fire Incident Reporting System and continue programs 
that promote fire safety and fire prevention in the wildland 
urban interface. According to the United States Fire 
Administration, there have been 66 reported firefighter 
fatalities in 2013. This includes tragic incidents involving 
the loss of multiple firefighters in West, Texas; Houston, 
Texas; and 19 firefighters who gave their lives at the Yarnell 
Hill Fire in Yavapai County, Arizona--the deadliest incident 
for firefighters since September 11, 2001 and the highest loss 
of firefighter lives in a wildland fire in 80 years. USFA, in 
cooperation with FEMA, is directed to continue its traditional 
funding for the congressionally mandated National Fallen 
Firefighters Memorial and related activities, which support the 
needs of survivors after the loss of a firefighter in the line 
of duty. USFA funding, combined with a grant from the 
Department of Justice and private sector support, is critical 
to sustain these services.
    A provision proposed in the budget request permitting State 
fire academies to compete for Firefighter Assistance Grants is 
not included. Instead the recommendation retains resources and 
authority to fully fund the State Fire Training Grant program 
within USFA, as in previous years, to ensure consistency and 
continuity of the program.

                          DISASTER RELIEF FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2013\1\\2\.............................. $18,494,859,000
Budget estimate, 2014...................................   6,220,908,000
House allowance.........................................   6,220,908,000
Committee recommendation................................   6,220,908,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.
\2\Includes emergency funding of $6,108,735,000 and disaster relief 
category funding of $5,379,000,000 in the Disaster Relief Appropriations 
Act, 2013 (division A of Public Law 113-2) and disaster relief category 
funding of $6,400,000,000 in the Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2013 (division D of Public Law 113-6).

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    As requested, the Committee recommends $6,220,908,000 for 
the Disaster Relief Fund, of which $5,626,386,000 is provided 
under the disaster relief adjustment pursuant to Public Law 
112-25. The Committee is pleased the Department has requested 
amounts for the Disaster Relief Fund that more accurately 
reflect, based on documented claims and historic evidence, the 
disaster needs that are likely to arise during this fiscal 
year, including the costs of previously designated disasters.
    The Committee includes bill language requiring an 
expenditure plan and quarterly reports for disaster readiness 
and support costs; and a monthly report on disaster relief 
expenditures. The Committee recommends bill language 
transferring $24,000,000 to the Department of Homeland Security 
Office of Inspector General for audits and investigations.
    The Committee notes a provision included under the heading 
``Disaster Relief Fund'' in Division A of Public Law 113-2, 
Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, requiring FEMA to 
post on its Web site the Disaster Relief Fund Monthly Report 
within 10 days after the first day of each month and encourages 
FEMA to post the report as soon as practicable.
    The Committee directs FEMA to report on the progress made 
addressing the recommendations contained in GAO-12-838 
``Federal Disaster Assistance: Improved Criteria Needed to 
Assess a Jurisdiction's Capability to Respond and Recover on 
Its Own''.

                     DISASTER RECOVERY EXPENDITURES

    The Committee supports the critical role OIG has in 
eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in disaster assistance 
programs. Further, the Committee notes that it is imperative 
for FEMA to make decisions on recovery assistance in a timely 
fashion, often with limited information in a chaotic post-
disaster environment. However, the Committee is concerned that 
the OIG execution of their role and a lack of clarity and 
consistency in FEMA policy and program execution are adversely 
affecting some Public Assistance applicants. In June 2012, OIG 
recommended that a grantee repay a Federal grant already 
awarded and obligated when it determined that FEMA incorrectly 
applied its regulations and policies for a disaster that 
occurred in June 2008. FEMA argued that deobligation of the 
project was not warranted since the evidence of substantial 
damage as a result of the disaster supported Federal assistance 
for the community's recovery. The unresolved matter was sent to 
the DHS Under Secretary for Management for final adjudication. 
The determination was the grantee did not have to repay the 
Federal grant since disaster damage warranted assistance. The 
Committee is concerned that the OIG Office of Emergency 
Management Oversight focus on ``after the fact'' reviews is not 
efficiently placed to prevent obligation of misused Federal 
funds and therefore causes unnecessary disruption for 
recovering communities by recommending deobligation several 
years afterwards.
    The Committee is mindful that the OIG review of disaster 
obligations is often several years after a disaster and the 
impact of the findings can have a severe effect on a community 
that has already obligated funding to specific projects with 
FEMA's approval in an effort to recover. While it is imperative 
for FEMA policies and rules to be transparent; reasonably 
flexible to accommodate various recovery scenarios; and 
consistently applied, where appropriate; the sheer volume of 
OIG recommendations may challenge FEMA's capacity to execute 
meaningful and responsive policy changes. FEMA has concurred 
with a separate OIG finding that the Agency needs a significant 
review and revision of certain policies and methods of 
implementing rules and is currently undergoing a process to do 
so. The Committee expects this process to continue without 
delay. Further, the Committee expects FEMA and the OIG to 
partner fully in this process.
    The Administrator and the Inspector General are directed to 
provide a report to the Committee, no later than 120 days after 
the date of enactment of this act, outlining improvements that 
will be made by both OIG and FEMA to better implement disaster 
recovery programs and guard against waste, fraud, and abuse.

                 FLOOD HAZARD MAPPING AND RISK ANALYSIS

Appropriations, 2013\1\.................................     $95,203,000
Budget estimate, 2014...................................      84,361,000
House allowance.........................................      95,202,000
Committee recommendation................................      95,203,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $95,203,000 for Flood Hazard 
Mapping and Risk Analysis, $10,842,000 above the amount 
requested and the same amount as provided in fiscal year 2013. 
To date, only 58 percent of flood maps have been updated with 
the most current data.
    Maintaining the Nation's flood maps is an important task to 
ensure citizens know their risk and communities can make wise 
decisions about mitigation activities. It is critical that FEMA 
continue to work with the Army Corps of Engineers and the 
Technical Mapping Advisory Council to ensure the highest 
quality data and information is included in digital maps that 
are reliable and useful. The Committee notes FEMA's recent 
release of the Levee Analysis and Mapping Procedures for Non-
Accredited Levees [LAMP] and the ongoing establishment of pilot 
projects in areas throughout the country to account for flood 
protection that may not be reflected on current flood maps. 
FEMA is directed to continue working with communities on the 
best way to reflect infrastructure that provides varying levels 
of mitigation against flooding on flood maps.
    On March 20, 2013, the National Academy of Sciences issued 
a report on ``Levees and the National Flood Insurance Program: 
Improving Policies and Practices'' commissioned by FEMA. The 
study concluded ``at this time there is no sound reason to 
extend the mandatory purchase requirement--which requires 
property owners with a federally backed mortgage located in the 
100-year floodplain to purchase flood insurance--to areas 
behind accredited levees.'' The Committee notes the study 
recommended that FEMA develop modern flood risk analysis tools, 
but that the study did not analyze the cost of acquiring such 
tools. The Administrator is directed to provide, within a year 
of the date of enactment of this act, an initial assessment of 
the projected timeline and potential cost of acquiring the 
modern flood risk analysis tools referenced in this study.
    The Committee directs the United States Army Corps of 
Engineers [USACE] and the DHS to ensure the plain language of 
the levee accreditation provisions of the Biggert-Waters Flood 
Insurance Reform and Modernization Act are met. The Committee 
expects a July 2013 delivery of the Flood Protection Structure 
Accreditation Task Force report that was required by the 
Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act.

                     NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE FUND

Appropriations, 2013\1\\2\..............................    $171,000,000
Budget estimate, 2014\2\................................     176,300,000
House allowance\2\......................................     176,300,000
Committee recommendation\2\.............................     176,300,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.
\2\Fully offset by fee collection.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $176,300,000, as proposed in the 
budget, for the National Flood Insurance Fund, of which 
$40,000,000 is for expenses under section 1366 of the National 
Flood Insurance Act (42 U.S.C. 4104c) to provide assistance 
planning to States and communities for implementing floodplain 
management measures to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk 
of flood damage to buildings and other structures eligible for 
insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program.
    The Committee directs the Administrator of the National 
Flood Insurance Program to develop procedures within 180 days 
of the date of enactment of this act to provide information to 
policyholders related to the Community Rating System, including 
their community's participation status and score under the 
program. This information is to be provided to policyholders 
not less than one time each year as an enclosure with their 
annual policy statement and should also be made easily 
available to policyholders online.
    The Committee is extremely disappointed that FEMA has still 
not completed the affordability study and report required by 
section 100236 of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act 
of 2012 (Public Law 112-141) and has consequently failed to 
meet the statutory deadline established by Congress. The 
Administrator is directed to dedicate sufficient resources to 
expedite their completion and submission.
    The Committee is aware that FEMA is in the process of 
producing a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement for 
the National Flood Insurance Program. The Committee directs 
FEMA to ensure that it proactively solicits and considers input 
from those parties potentially affected by this process.
    Within 1 year of enactment, the Administrator shall conduct 
a study assessing the feasibility of waiver authority for 
floodplain management requirements within an area designated as 
Zone V1-30, VE, or V on a National Flood Insurance Program rate 
map. The study shall include an evaluation of: (1) whether 
construction could withstand wave and wind forces acting 
simultaneously on building components, currents, and debris 
impact associated with the base flood and not increase the 
elevation of the base flood on structures or cause an increase 
in wave forces or transportation of shore materials on 
structures; (2) whether construction could increase the water 
surface elevation of the base flood; and (3) whether proposed 
fill could increase the elevation of the base flood and whether 
it could erode. Additionally, the study shall evaluate the 
appropriateness of limiting the waivers to locations where: (1) 
the main flooding source is wave overtopping of the upland and 
is not surge inundation; and (2) the breaking wave height in 
the base flood is between 3 and 10 feet.

                  NATIONAL PREDISASTER MITIGATION FUND

Appropriations, 2013\1\.................................     $24,967,000
Budget estimate, 2014...................................................
House allowance.........................................      30,155,000
Committee recommendation................................      25,000,000

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for PDM, $25,000,000 
above the amount requested and $33,000 above the amount 
provided in fiscal year 2013. The Committee continues to 
support predisaster mitigation, and recognizes the importance 
of coordinating predisaster mitigation projects with projects 
being completed through the post-disaster Hazard Mitigation 
Grant Program. The Committee is concerned that eliminating 
funding for PDM, as the Administration requested, will leave 
some States with no mitigation planning or project funding. The 
Committee does not include a provision requested in the budget 
which would rescind previous PDM projects, as no eligible funds 
for such rescission could be identified.

Law 112-25.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $120,000,000 for Emergency Food 
and Shelter, which is $20,000,000 above the amount requested 
and $158,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. The 
Committee continues to support the Emergency Food and Shelter 
Program, and recognizes it as one program, in conjunction with 
other Federal programs, that serves those in immediate need of 
food and shelter assistance. This funding helped provide 
63,008,930 meals, 4,526,353 nights of lodging, 63,401 rent and 
mortgage payments, and 158,574 utility payments for people in 
need in fiscal year 2011.

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends total resources of $3,219,142,000 
including direct appropriations of $118,889,000 and estimated 
fee collections of $3,100,253,000. This is $324,000 below the 
amount requested and $224,909,000 above the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2013.

                                E-VERIFY

    The Committee recommends $113,889,000 for E-Verify program 
activities, $324,000 below the amount requested and $2,113,000 
above the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. The Committee 
supports E-Verify and the effort the Department is performing 
to improve E-Verify's ability to automatically verify those who 
are work authorized, detect identity fraud, and detect system 
misuse and discrimination. E-Verify is both a tool for 
employers committed to maintaining a legal workforce and a 
deterrent to illegal immigration. The Committee notes progress 
continues to be made on reducing the mismatch rate.
    The growth in E-Verify use by employers has significantly 
increased from fewer than 25,000 employers in fiscal year 2007 
to more than 447,000 as of April 2013, with an average of more 
than 1,000 new employers enrolling per week. E-Verify processed 
21 million cases in fiscal year 2012, a more than five-fold 
increase from the 4.0 million cases processed in fiscal year 
2007. So far in fiscal year 2013, E-Verify processed more than 
13 million cases.
    The Committee directs USCIS to create a mobile application 
and use other available smart-phone technology for employers 
using E-Verify so as to encourage small employers to use the 
system as early as possible. Additionally, USCIS shall, in 
consultation with the Administrator of the Small Business 
Administration, make available marketing and other incentives 
to small business concerns to encourage small employers to use 
E-Verify.

                   E-VERIFY IN AGRICULTURAL SETTINGS

    The Committee is aware of challenges associated with 
implementing E-Verify in its current form in the agricultural 
industry, and directs USCIS to report to the Senate Committees 
on Appropriations and the Judiciary within 120 days after the 
enactment of this act on the progress of implementing the USCIS 
Self Check service, improving the linkage between E-Verify and 
the Arrival and Departure Information System, and developing a 
mobile service model that will provide all employers a 
different method to access E-Verify, including the development 
of a mobile app. The report should address the manner in which 
these improvements will be employed; how they will reduce the 
burden on agricultural employers and employees; and a specific 
date by which the program(s) will be in full effect.

                      IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION GRANTS

    The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for Immigrant 
Integration Grants in direct appropriations and includes a 
general provision directing that an additional $5,000,000 be 
made available for these grants via fees. The grants shall be 
available to assist individuals who are legally authorized to 
be present in the United States. The Committee believes it is 
important to assist individuals following the law and working 
to become citizens.

                           E-B5 VISA PROGRAM

    The Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration 
Services is directed to provide a report to the committee on 
the E-B5 visa program within 90 days of the date of enactment 
of this act, and every 180 days thereafter, that includes the 
number of applications pending, the period of time each 
application has been under review, benchmark review periods for 
the economic evaluation of projects and suitability of 
petitioners, a description of any additional resources 
necessary to efficiently administer the program, and the number 
of applications that are approved or denied each period with an 
accompanying explanation of their disposition.

                      FIELD OFFICE FACILITY MODELS

    The Committee understands that USCIS is currently revising 
its field office facilities model and developing new facilities 
models for service centers, call centers, and asylum offices. 
The Committee supports efforts to develop effective facility 
models that encourage each service center to centralize its 
operations into a single headquarters campus in their original 
location and that are consistent with the Administration's 
efforts to enhance the efficiency of the overall Federal real 
estate portfolio. The Committee directs USCIS to submit a 
report by January 31, 2014, describing the new facility model 
for service centers and detailing how existing service centers 
could be impacted by revisions.

                         REPORTING REQUIREMENT

    In order to provide better feedback to small employers and 
others throughout the H1-B application process, it is important 
that USCIS, to the extent practicable, create an online 
interface. The Committee directs USCIS to submit an annual 
report that includes: the number of H1-B visa applications 
received and visas granted broken down by business size (0-25 
employees, 26-50 employees, 50-100 employees, 100-500 
employees, and more than 500 employees) and also expressed as a 
percentage of the total; the number of H1-B visa applications 
broken down by North American Industry Classification System 
Code; and the number and percentage of businesses--broken down 
by business size--that utilized the Premium Processing Service 
and received a visa compared with those businesses that did not 
utilize the service.

\1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public 
Law 112-25.

    The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center [FLETC] 
Salaries and Expenses appropriation provides funds for basic 
and some advanced training to Federal law enforcement personnel 
from more than 90 agencies. This account also allows for 
research of new training methodologies; provides for training 
to certain State, local, and foreign law enforcement personnel 
on a space-available basis; and accreditation of Federal law 
enforcement training programs.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $227,845,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses, $12,699,000 below the amount requested and $321,000 
below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Within the funds 
provided is $1,300,000 for the Federal Law Enforcement Training 
Accreditation Board. The requested amount includes reductions 
of $23,380,000 in identified efficiencies, an increase of 
$4,500,000 to expand active shooter threat training programs, 
and funds to phase-in 1,850 new CBP officers. The Committee 
denies the proposed transfer of the National Computer Forensics 
Institute from the U.S. Secret Service to FLETC. Funding for 
this activity is retained within the U.S. Secret Service's 
``Salaries and Expenses'' appropriation. The Committee also 
expects the Director to maintain training at or near capacity 
before entering into new leases with private contractors or 
establishing new partner organizations.

     ACQUISITIONS, CONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENTS, AND RELATED EXPENSES

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $30,885,000 for Acquisition, 
Construction, Improvements, and Related Expenses, the same as 
the President's request and $2,537,000 above the amount 
provided in fiscal year 2013. Included in this amount is 
$1,500,000 to support the debt services payment on the Energy 
Savings Performance Contract. This contract will save FLETC an 
estimated $2,000,000 by implementing a series of energy 
conservation measures associated with water, lighting, heating, 
and cooling. In addition, FLETC will avoid paying up to 
$2,500,000 in energy costs due to the installation of 
photovoltaic equipment at its Cheltenham facility.

and expenses related to the Office of the Under Secretary for 
Science and Technology, and headquarters.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $129,000,000 for Management and 
Administration of programs and activities carried out by S&T. 
This is $608,000 below the amount requested and $2,826,000 
below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Of this amount, 
the Committee recommends not to exceed $7,650 for official 
reception and representation expenses.

    Science and Technology supports the mission of DHS through 
basic and applied research, fabrication of prototypes, research 
and development to mitigate the effects of weapons of mass 
destruction, as well as acquiring and field testing equipment.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,089,488,000 for Research, 
Development, Acquisition, and Operations of S&T. This is 
$308,000,000 below the amount requested and $383,697,000 above 
the amount provided in fiscal year 2013.
    The Committee does not support the consolidation of all 
research funding into one account, as it reduces transparency 
and accountability of S&T's primary research funding. 
Therefore, the Committee modifies the requested budget 
structure by including the six research areas identified in the 
budget request as PPAs under Research Development and 
Innovation [RD&I]: Apex Research and Development [R&D]; Border 
Security; Chemical, Biological, and Explosives Defense; Counter 
Terrorist R&D Cybersecurity; and Disaster Resilience.

                         REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

    S&T is directed to continue to provide the following:
  --quarterly briefings to the Committee on the test and 
        evaluation status of all level 1 acquisitions;
  --a report on results of its research and development for the 
        prior fiscal year; and
  --a report on the amounts de-obligated from projects during 
        the prior fiscal year and to what projects those funds 
        were subsequently obligated.
    The reports listed above are to be submitted in conjunction 
with the fiscal year 2015 President's budget request. Further, 
the report on the results of research and development should 
detail all technologies, technology improvements, or 
capabilities delivered to front line users.

                                APEX R&D

    The recommendation continues to fund S&T's Apex Research 
and Development program, which is focused on high-priority and 
high-value projects needed in a short turn-around for DHS 
components. Unlike other S&T research initiatives, Apex 
projects are collaborative efforts between DHS component heads 
and the Under Secretary for S&T. The Committee is supportive of 
the Apex concept, especially since it is focused on expediting 
technology solutions to the field. S&T and the partner 
components are to brief the Committee no later than 60 days 
after the date of enactment of this act and periodically 
thereafter on: the funding allocation by project; and progress 
made to field improved technologies, including a schedule for 
evaluation and testing of technical solutions in relevant 
operational environments.

                           INDUSTRY OUTREACH

    The Committee is concerned that there is not a clear path 
to bring innovative security technologies to the attention of 
Department decision makers, which may result in creative, cost-
effective homeland security technology solutions being missed. 
S&T must leverage investments made by the private sector to 
speed new technologies to operational use, especially in 
critical areas like border security. In consultation with the 
Office of the Private Sector, S&T is to submit a report not 
later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, 
detailing efforts the agency is making to identify innovative 
technologies developed by industry, other Federal agencies, and 
universities that could improve the effectiveness, efficiency, 
and safety of DHS missions. The report shall detail S&T's 
mechanisms to reach outside of the Department to forge possible 
collaborations with industry, government, and academia to meet 
DHS mission needs. In addition, the report shall discuss the 
ways in which companies and organizations can ``reach in'' and 
present S&T with potential technologies for investment, 
including the process used to determine if a technology is to 
be pursued or not.

          RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OVERSIGHT AND COORDINATION

    The Government Accountability Office reported in September 
2012 (GAO-12-837) that DHS does not have a department-wide 
policy defining research and development or guidance directing 
components how to report R&D activities. The concern raised by 
GAO is that without such guidance and direction, the Department 
is unable to know its overall investment in R&D, which limits 
oversight and does not allow for department-wide goals to be 
properly aligned. This may result in DHS-wide R&D efforts that 
are fragmented, overlapping, and duplicative. In response to 
GAO's concerns, DHS indicated that it is considering a 
management directive, multi-component steering committee, or 
new policy guidance to better oversee and coordinate R&D. 
Unfortunately, action on these efforts to date has been minimal 
at best. Therefore, in accordance with GAO's recommendations, 
the Committee directs DHS to implement policies and guidance 
for defining and overseeing R&D department-wide no later than 
120 days after the date of enactment of this act.
    In an effort to assist in the coordination of R&D work 
across the Department, the Committee directed DHS and S&T last 
fiscal year to begin portfolio reviews of other components. 
Such reviews have been effective for S&T's own R&D portfolio to 
ensure that projects selected for funding are those that will 
have the greatest impact and opportunity for transition to 
operational use. Following the Committee's direction, the Coast 
Guard was the first DHS component to implement this review 
process, which will help shape and direct key technological 
research within the service to bring those efforts toward 
fruition. The Committee directs the Secretary to expeditiously 
continue the review process with other DHS components with the 
help and assistance from the Under Secretary for S&T to improve 
the coordinated approach to R&D and related activities within 
DHS. S&T is to brief the Committee on its schedule and plans 
for future reviews within DHS no later than 120 days after the 
date of enactment of this act.

                          DISASTER RESILIENCE

    Within the $126,723,000 provided for Disaster Resilience, 
the Committee encourages S&T to enhance Natural Disaster 
Resiliency projects that focus on dam or levee flood simulation 
and mapping systems that have demonstrated significant 
potential to be utilized as an emergency management tool for 
the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

                             CYBERSECURITY

    It is essential that DHS partner with private industry to 
create resilience to cyber conflict through war gaming and 
cyber exercise programs. The Committee supports the continued 
development of a simulation based cybersecurity exercise tool 
for the financial services sector and supports the further 
extension of the financial sector tool into other critical 
infrastructure sectors such as energy, the defense industrial 
base, transportation, and healthcare.
    The Committee recognizes the cyber threats to the Nation's 
electric grid and the other control systems vital to our 
security and economy. In order to address this challenge, the 
Committee encourages S&T, in collaboration with NPPD, to 
establish operational cybersecurity research initiatives. These 
initiatives should involve collaboration among academic 
institutions, existing Federal research and development 
organizations, and the private sector. Furthermore, the 
Committee recognizes the need to conduct experiments both at 
the lab scale and at real-world scale using test bed 
applications to verify models using a large-scale operational 
environment. The Committee urges the Department to address 
research, testing and education as part of this initiative.

                     CANINE STANDARDS AND PROTOCOLS

    Detection canine teams play a critical role in homeland 
security efforts and are a key tool used by a number of 
agencies within the Department. The Committee is concerned that 
no widely accepted standards or protocols exist on the 
breeding, training, conditioning and deployment of detection 
canine teams. Without these standards and protocols 
inconsistencies in the quality of the canine, the handler, or 
their training and deployment can significantly reduce their 
effectiveness. The Committee directs S&T to work with the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] in 
conjunction with subject matter experts in academia, the 
private sector, and governmental stakeholders to develop 
breeding, training, conditioning and deployment standards and 
protocols for detection canine teams. The Committee believes 
the NIST standards and protocols effort can be best informed by 
a greater focus within S&T on research and development 
surrounding canine detection. S&T is directed to work with 
NIST, stakeholders, and institutions of higher education with 
specific expertise to develop a renewed focus on canine 
detection research and development that will address current 
issues and concerns.

           FIRST RESPONDER COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT STANDARDS

    S&T, in conjunction with the Director of NIST, shall 
continue assessing the compliance of first responder 
communication equipment with common standards for digital 
public safety radio communications (Project 25 standards).

                       TEST AND EVALUATION [T&E]

    Within the amount provided for the Acquisition and 
Operations Support PPA, no less than $5,339,000 shall be for 
S&T to establish policies and procedures for and to coordinate 
and monitor the T&E activities across the DHS acquisition 
framework. Testing and evaluation of new technologies prior to 
their acquisition and deployment will, in the long-run, save 
money through the prevention of wasteful spending.

                         LABORATORY FACILITIES

    The Committee recommendation includes $547,785,000 for 
Laboratory Facilities, $310,000,000 below the amount requested. 
A total of $404,000,000 is provided for the National Bio-Agro 
Defense Facility [NBAF]. While this amount is lower than the 
budget request, it is sufficient to ensure that construction of 
the facility proceeds on schedule and fully leverages the 
funding contributions by the State of Kansas. NBAF will support 
the complimentary missions of DHS and the United States 
Department of Agriculture and serve as the Nation's primary 
research facility to counter foreign animal diseases. The 
Committee directs S&T to submit a detailed update of its NBAF 
construction plan and schedule, to include an updated plan for 
the expenditure of funds, not later than 30 days after the date 
of enactment of this act.
    A total of $29,250,000 is provided for infrastructure 
upgrades to the Plum Island Animal Disease Center [PIADC]. 
While NBAF will replace PIADC, it will not become operational 
for several years. As a result, it is imperative to make 
critical upgrades at PIADC in order for scientists to continue 
research on contagious animal diseases that have the potential 
to impact America's food and livestock industries.

                          UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS

    The Committee recommendation includes $33,000,000 for 
University Programs, $2,000,000 above the amount requested. The 
Office of University Programs supports critical homeland 
security-related research and education at U.S. colleges and 
universities to address high-priority DHS-related issues and to 
enhance homeland security capabilities over the long term. The 
increase above the request is for the University Centers of 
Excellence program, either for existing centers or for the 
establishment of a new center. The recommendation also 
recognizes the requested reduction of $3,000,000 resulting from 
the consolidation of the Scholars and Fellows program within 
the National Science Foundation.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $37,353,000 for Management and 
Administration of programs and activities carried out by DNDO. 
This is $157,000 below the amount requested and $2,245,000 
below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013. Of this amount, 
the Committee recommends not to exceed $2,250 for official 
reception and representation expenses.

                     STRATEGIC PLAN OF INVESTMENTS

    The Committee includes bill language requiring DNDO to 
update its strategic plan of investments necessary to implement 
the Department's responsibilities under the domestic component 
of the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture. The plan is to:
  --identify the various elements of the domestic architecture 
        and the roles and responsibilities of each Departmental 
        entity;
  --investments being made in fiscal year 2014 and planned for 
        2015 to secure pathways into the United States (sea, 
        land, and air);
  --investments necessary to close known vulnerabilities and 
        gaps, including associated costs and timeframes, and 
        estimates of feasibility and cost effectiveness; and
  --how R&D funding is furthering the implementation of the 
        domestic architecture.
    While the strategic plan of investments is to cover the 
Department's implementation responsibilities, it shall include 
a section on DNDO's focus on surge capabilities and the ability 
of Federal, State, and local level assets to be mobilized

                          SEMIANNUAL BRIEFINGS

    DNDO shall continue semi-annual briefings on program 
updates and provide periodic updates on any new threats, 
research, and studies and assessments related to the Global 
Nuclear Detection Architecture. Semiannual program briefings 
shall also cover emergent technology solutions being explored 
by DNDO.

                 RADIATION PORTAL MONITORS IMPROVEMENTS

    In fiscal year 2010, Congress appropriated $5,000,000 for 
DNDO to improve operations and capabilities of currently 
deployed polyvinyl toluene radiation portal monitors and 
handheld radiation detectors, and to deploy any improvements to 
the field. As a result of this funding, DNDO established a 
capability development plan and initiated a trade study in 
fiscal year 2012 that evaluated several algorithm improvements 
and a hardware improvement. According to DNDO, preliminary 
results from these efforts have shown promise and further 
evaluation of various solutions are currently being evaluated 
in the field. DNDO is to brief the Committee on the results of 
the evaluations no later than 45 days after the date of 
enactment of this act.

                 RADIATION PORTAL MONITORS REPLACEMENT

    Radiation Portal Monitors [RPMs] that have been deployed in 
the field over the past decade will start reaching the end of 
their useful life in the coming years and DNDO anticipates an 
increase in obsolescence. The Committee encourages DNDO to test 
new radiation detection technologies that would address the 
need to replace RPMs nearing the end of their service life, and 
to significantly improve screening efficiency at our Nation's 
ports. DNDO is to brief the Committee on its acquisition 
strategy for replacing RPMs no later than 120 days after the 
date of enactment of this act.

                          TEST AND EVALUATION

    Within the funding provided, the Department is expected to 
undertake a robust testing program to validate the potential 
benefits of commercial systems that can detect shielded nuclear 
material and have the potential to reduce the overall cost and 
time it takes to scan incoming cargo for hazardous materials. 
Such systems may be beneficial in addressing the 100 percent 
cargo scanning requirement.

                                TITLE V

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS OF FUNDS)

    Section 501. The bill includes a provision that no part of 
any appropriation shall remain available for obligation beyond 
the current fiscal year unless expressly provided.
    Section 502. The bill includes a provision that unexpended 
balances of prior appropriations may be merged with new 
appropriations accounts and used for the same purpose, subject 
to reprogramming guidelines.
    Section 503. The bill includes a provision that provides 
authority to reprogram appropriations within an account and to 
transfer up to 5 percent between appropriations accounts with 
15-day advance notification of the Committees on 
Appropriations. A detailed funding table identifying each 
congressional control level for reprogramming purposes is 
included at the end of this statement. These reprogramming 
guidelines shall be complied with by all departmental 
components funded by this act.
    The Committee expects the Department to submit 
reprogramming requests on a timely basis, and to provide 
complete explanations of the reallocations proposed, including 
detailed justifications of the increases and offsets, and any 
specific impact the proposed changes will have on the budget 
request for the following fiscal year and future-year 
appropriations requirements. Each request submitted to the 
Committees should include a detailed table showing the proposed 
revisions at the account, program, project, and activity level 
to the funding and staffing (full-time equivalent) levels for 
the current fiscal year and to the levels required for the 
following fiscal year. The Committee continues to be 
disappointed by the quality, level of detail, and timeliness of 
the Department's proposed reprogrammings.
    The Committee expects the Department to manage its programs 
and activities within the levels appropriated. The Committee 
reminds the Department that reprogramming or transfer requests 
should be submitted only in the case of an unforeseeable 
emergency or situation that could not have been predicted when 
formulating the budget request for the current fiscal year. 
When the Department submits a reprogramming or transfer request 
to the Committees on Appropriations and does not receive 
identical responses from the House and Senate, it is the 
responsibility of the Department to reconcile the House and 
Senate differences before proceeding, and if reconciliation is 
not possible, to consider the reprogramming or transfer request 
unapproved.
    The Department shall not propose a reprogramming or 
transfer of funds after June 30 unless there are extraordinary 
circumstances, which place human lives or property in imminent 
danger. To the extent any reprogramming proposals are required; 
the Department is strongly encouraged to submit them well in 
advance of the June 30 deadline.
    Section 504. The bill includes a provision relating to the 
Department's Working Capital Fund [WCF] that: extends the 
authority of the Department's WCF in fiscal year 2014; 
prohibits funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the 
Department from being used to make payments to the WCF, except 
for the activities and amounts allowed in the President's 
fiscal year 2014 budget; makes WCF funds available until 
expended; ensures departmental components are only charged for 
direct usage of each WCF service; makes funds provided to the 
WCF available only for purposes consistent with the 
contributing component; requires the WCF to be paid in advance 
or reimbursed at rates which will return the full cost of each 
service; and subjects the WCF to the requirements of section 
503 of this act. The WCF table included in the Department's 
congressional justification accompanying the President's fiscal 
year 2014 budget shall serve as the control level for 
reprogramming and transfer purposes in compliance with section 
503 of this act.
    Section 505. The bill includes a provision that not to 
exceed 50 percent of unobligated balances remaining at the end 
of fiscal year 2014 from appropriations made for salaries and 
expenses shall remain available through fiscal year 2015, 
subject to reprogramming.
    Section 506. The bill includes a provision providing that 
funds for intelligence activities are specifically authorized 
during fiscal year 2014 until the enactment of an act 
authorizing intelligence activities for fiscal year 2014.
    Section 507. The bill includes a provision requiring 
notification to the Committees 3 business days before any grant 
allocation, grant award, contract award (including Federal 
Acquisition Regulation-covered contracts), other transaction 
agreement, a task or delivery order on a DHS multiple award 
contract, letter of intent, or public announcement of the 
intention to make such an award totaling in excess of 
$1,000,000. If the Secretary determines that compliance would 
pose substantial risk to health, human life, or safety, an 
award may be made without prior notification but the Committees 
shall be notified within 5 full business days after such award 
or letter is issued. Additionally, FEMA is required to brief 
the Committees 5 full business days prior to announcing 
publicly the intention to make an award under State and Local 
programs. The 3-day notification also pertains to task or 
delivery order awards greater than $10,000,000 from multiyear 
DHS funds or a task or delivery order that would cause 
cumulative obligations of multiyear funds in a single account 
to exceed 50 percent of the total amount appropriated as well 
as for any sole-source grant awards.
    Section 508. The bill includes a provision that no agency 
shall purchase, construct, or lease additional facilities for 
Federal law enforcement training without the advance approval 
of the Committees on Appropriations.
    Section 509. The bill includes a provision that none of the 
funds may be used for any construction, repair, alteration, or 
acquisition project for which a prospectus, if required under 
chapter 33 of title 40, United States Code, has not been 
approved. The bill excludes funds that may be required for 
development of a proposed prospectus.
    Section 510. The bill includes a provision that 
consolidates, continues, and modifies by reference prior-year 
statutory bill language into one provision. These provisions 
concern contracting officers' training and Federal building 
energy performance. The provision strikes a permanent 
requirement for a report related to Sensitive Security 
Information.
    Section 511. The bill includes a provision that none of the 
funds may be used in contravention of the Buy American Act.
    Section 512. The bill includes a provision prohibiting any

shall notify the relevant Committees 15 days before entering 
into such agreement and shall provide semiannual reports to the 
Committees on Appropriations on each request received, the 
reasons for its approval or denial, the anticipated and actual

balances from funds transferred to the Department when it was
