                    OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF THE BILL

    The creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 
brought together 22 different agencies from across the Federal 
Government under one management structure. As the youngest in 
the Federal Government, this is just the 17th annual 
appropriations cycle for the Department.
    While young, the Department is the third largest cabinet 
agency by personnel, with nearly 250,000 employees. The 
Department's most indispensable assets are the people it 
employs, and the Committee recognizes that the evolution and 
success of the Department is primarily due to the dedicated 
employees who tirelessly execute the Department's missions.
    The Committee acknowledges that the management and 
oversight challenges inherent to such a large and maturing 
government organization are compounded by a complex and 
volatile threat environment and an unprecedented demand on the 
services the Department provides. The Committee expects the 
Department to continue gaining management and cost efficiencies 
by consolidating cross-component efforts while allowing 
components the flexibility necessary to respond quickly to 
changing or emergent threats. The Committee remains frustrated 
that the Department is often unable to translate data, whether 
related to an internal activity or an external activity, into 
trends or metrics useful for critical decision-making. The 
Committee strongly encourages the Department to incorporate the 
use of analytics and modeling into its key decision-making 
processes to identify interdependencies across components and 
to use the results to develop integrated budget submissions for 
priority programs.
    The Committee has again included a provision prohibiting 
the Department from reorganizing without Congressional action. 
The Committee believes the Department could gain efficiencies 
through further reorganization but expects the Department to 
develop any proposal for reorganization in cooperation with the 
appropriate Congressional Committees. The Committee will 
consider, in conjunction with the authorizing committees of 
jurisdiction as appropriate, any proposal to reorganize the 
Department that is included as a part of a future budget 
request.
    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$72,527,309,000 for the Department of Homeland Security for 
fiscal year 2020. Of this amount, $70,725,000,000 is for 
discretionary programs, including $190,000,000 for Coast Guard 
overseas contingency operations and $17,352,000,000 for the 
Disaster Relief Fund designated by the Congress as disaster 
relief pursuant to Public Law 112-25.
    Throughout the Department's history, the Committee has 
invested significant resources in personnel, technology 
systems, and infrastructure. While the Committee expects 
previous investments to continue to be leveraged to the fullest 
extent, it is paramount that the Department ensures future 
investments are informed by cost-effectiveness and trade-off 
analyses. Investments provided in this bill are designed to 
enable the Department to accomplish its missions in smarter and 
more resourceful ways.
    The Department again requested funding to increase the 
number of personnel in many of its components, a portion of 
which cannot feasibly be hired or retained in fiscal year 2020. 
The Committee recognizes that providing resources each year 
specifically for hiring additional personnel is not sustainable 
for the longevity of the Department. The Committee instead 
recommends funds necessary to robustly support all of the 
Department's missions through investments that improve the 
Department's ability to retain qualified personnel and that 
enable the Department's employees to operate more effectively 
and efficiently.
    The Committee recognizes that border security is of 
critical importance to the national security of the United 
States and continues significant funding for securing U.S. 
borders through investments in physical barriers and tactical 
infrastructure. The recommendation includes funding requested 
for physical barriers along the southwest border and 
acknowledges that physical impedance and denial of access is 
essential for effective border security in high traffic areas 
with short vanishing times. In an effort to layer security 
measures, the recommendation includes significant funding for 
the deployment of strategic technology systems with the ability 
to target perimeter threats to better ensure the safety of U.S. 
Border Patrol personnel when executing frontline law 
enforcement duties.
    Immigrations and Customs Enforcement [ICE] personnel are 
responsible for securing the Nation's borders and enforcing 
immigration and other Federal laws throughout the interior. The 
Committee recommendation sustains the fiscal year 2019 enacted 
level to address the ongoing volume increase of apprehensions, 
increase the number of attorneys to represent the Federal 
Government, and provide requested funds for infrastructure 
needed to house those apprehended. While this bill annualizes 
the previous fiscal year's Enforcement and Removal Operations 
[ERO] operational tempo, it does not provide unlimited 
resources for immigration enforcement activities. ERO must 
continue to work with interagency partners throughout the 
immigration enforcement continuum to use scarce resources more 
efficiently.
    Homeland Security Investigations [HSI], a component within 
ICE, has played a prominent role in the efforts to combat the 
national and global opioid epidemic and investigate domestic 
and international criminal activity on the Dark Web. This bill 
supports these continued efforts and provides additional 
funding for counter-proliferation investigations that protect 
the Nation's vulnerabilities.
    The Department's commitment to ensuring safety across the 
Nation's vast and varied transportation systems through the 
Transportation Security Administration [TSA] is critical for 
overall national security. Tasked with safeguarding the freedom 
of movement of people and commerce, TSA personnel utilize 
innovative technologies, local law enforcement, screening 
canines, and Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response teams 
to successfully combat emerging threats to our Nation's 
transportation systems. The Committee recommendation includes 
funding above the requested amount to support the resiliency of 
the transportation infrastructure network as passenger volumes 
continue to annually increase.
    The Committee's recommendation wholly supports the role of 
the Coast Guard to enforce Federal laws on the high seas, 
preserve life and property at sea, assist in navigation, 
protect the marine environment, coordinate and participate in 
search-and-rescue missions, and maintain a state of defense 
readiness. Due in large part to the Committee's efforts, the 
Coast Guard's surface and air fleets are in the midst of 
unprecedented modernization, resulting in more operational 
efficiency and enhanced performance in mission execution. The 
Committee additionally recognizes that modernization of these 
vessels and aircraft have significantly increased the Coast 
Guard's ability to effectively interdict drugs before they 
enter the United States and provides robust funding to continue 
this crucial effort.
    The recommendation supports the United States Secret 
Service request for funding for the protection of persons and 
facilities, presidential campaigns, and widely-attended 
national security special events. The Committee continues 
investments in cultivating and retaining a workforce that is 
prepared to meet the demands for future campaigns and 
protective missions.
    The Committee recommends significant resources above the 
fiscal year 2019 enacted level to protect and maintain the 
Nation's critical infrastructure and election infrastructure as 
cyber-related threats emerge. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 
Security Agency [CISA] facilitates these activities through 
information sharing with State, local, territorial, and tribal 
[SLTT] governments, maintaining the national cybersecurity 
protection system, and conducting vulnerability assessments to 
address emerging threats.
    The Committee notes the efforts of the men and women of the 
Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA] in their 
preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation 
efforts to natural and man-made disasters in fiscal year 2019. 
In the previous fiscal year, natural disasters such as 
wildfires, hurricanes, and flooding caused significant damage 
and destruction to infrastructure and property throughout the 
country. This bill provides resources necessary to fund 
previous major disaster declarations, while simultaneously 
considering future disaster preparedness and emergency response 
needs.
    The bill continues critical investments in the future of 
the Nation's security by recommending funding above the 
requested amount for research and development [R&D] 
capabilities across the Department. The Science and Technology 
Directorate [S&T] is at the center of the Department's R&D 
activities, supporting advancements in opioid research, 
developing surveillance technologies, and partnering with 
universities to ensure innovation is considered in protecting 
the homeland. These R&D capabilities ensure the Department is 
able to acknowledge and mitigate evolving risks, reduce 
interference with legitimate commerce, and maintain a 
technological advantage over those seeking to harm the United 
States of America.

     Quarterly Obligation Reports.--The Department shall 
continue to submit quarterly obligation reports to the 
Committee for all reception and representation expenses as 
required in prior years. The Department shall refrain from 
using funds available for reception and representation expenses 
to purchase unnecessary collectibles or memorabilia.
    Adequate Budget Justifications.--The Committee expects the 
Department to provide complete justification materials with the 
fiscal year 2021 budget request and to provide details for each 
office and program, clearly describing and accounting for 
current services, transfers, adjustments to base, and program 
changes.
    Joint Requirements Council [JRC].--The Department is 
directed to continue to provide quarterly briefings on the JRC 
and shall brief the Committee on any reorganization of 
headquarters organizational units not later than 60 days before 
any such reorganization takes place.
    Public Reporting of Operational Statistics.--The Committee 
continues its requirement that the Department submit quarterly 
Border Security Status reports and data on the deportation of 
the parents of U.S.-born children semiannually, as in prior 
years.
    Public Access to Federally Funded Research.--The Committee 
commends the Department for issuing its Plan to Support 
Increased Public Access to the Results of Research Funded by 
the Federal Government on December 27, 2016. The Committee 
urges the Department to continue its efforts toward full 
implementation of the plan and directs that the Department 
provide an update on progress made in materials accompanying 
its fiscal year 2021 budget request.
    DATA Act Reporting.--The Committee expects the Department 
to submit timely, accurate, and complete financial and award 
information under existing Department of the Treasury reporting 
obligations in accordance with established management guidance, 
reporting processes, and data standards established under the 
requirements of the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act 
(Public Law 113-101).
    The Department's Mission in Rural Areas.--The Office of 
Partnership and Engagement is directed to provide a briefing to 
the Committee no later than 90 days after the date of enactment 
of this act on its continued outreach efforts to rural 
communities and Tribes in their efforts to support the homeland 
security mission.
    Cooperation with Central American Nations.--The Committee 
notes that illegal border crossings into the United States by 
Guatemalans, El Salvadorians, and Hondurans reached historic 
highs during fiscal year 2019. The Committee believes that the 
United States, in conjunction with the Government of Mexico, 
should continue efforts aimed at securing the southern border 
of Mexico while working with these Central American nations to 
improve their civil law enforcement capabilities to address 
criminal activities, which should have a net positive impact on 
crime in Central America as well as the United States. As part 
of these efforts, the United States should continue to 
facilitate information sharing among these nations regarding 
criminal history and prior orders of removal or immigration 
enforcement actions.
    State Police and Crime Labs.--The work of Customs and 
Border Protection [CBP], ICE, the Coast Guard, and the Secret 
Service includes investigations and operations in communities 
throughout the United States. As a result, the Department often 
shares capabilities and relies upon cooperation with SLTT and 
foreign law enforcement agencies, including State police crime 
labs. These labs provide the Department with a number of 
critical capabilities, including fingerprint, drug, and 
cellular telephone analysis. Likewise, these capabilities are 
the same services shared among SLTT and foreign law enforcement 
agencies. Coordination among these agencies not only ensures 
efficient use of resources, it also improves public safety 
outcomes. To that end, the Department should continue to work 
with State crime labs where available, particularly in areas 
not adequately served by Department labs or other Federal 
facilities. The Department should also continue to provide any 
assistance that is appropriate to State police crime labs to 
ensure Federal requirements do not burden State resources. 
Moreover, in areas where the Department frequently relies on 
State crime labs, additional support may be appropriate to 
prevent the accumulation of backlogs that can slow 
investigations. The Department shall report annually on its use 
of, and partnerships with, State crime labs, including funds 
associated with such partnerships, and should fully reimburse 
State crime labs for services they provide to the Department.
    Wildlife Trafficking.--As noted in prior reports, the 
Committee is concerned by the high level of illegal 
international trade in wildlife and wildlife products. The 
Committee expects the Department to work in partnership with 
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to improve cooperative 
efforts to better address wildlife trafficking. The Committee 
remains frustrated that the Department has failed to produce 
some specific reports on these activities, as required. Such 
reports should be provided to the Committee without delay. 
Further, as outlined in the explanatory statements accompanying 
Public Laws 114-113, 115-31, 115-141, and 116-6, a similar 
report shall be provided for fiscal year 2020 not later than 45 
days after the end of fiscal year 2020.
    Biometric Exit.--The Committee considers implementation of 
biometric exit a priority and worked to provide dedicated 
funding for this purpose through Public Law 114-113. The 
Committee recognizes CBP's progress in expanding biometric exit 
capabilities at air ports of entry [POEs], adding 15 new 
locations in fiscal year 2019. In the land environment, facial 
comparison technology, as of August 2019, has identified 181 
imposters, including 52 with genuine U.S. travel documents 
attempting to enter the United States. The Department is 
directed to provide a spend plan for H-1B and L-1 fee revenues 
and any other resources being applied to biometric exit 
implementation not later than 30 days after the date of 
enactment of this act. The Committee encourages the Secretary 
to continue emphasizing the importance of joint U.S.-Mexico 
technology infrastructure that would support entry and exit 
data exchange with the Government of Mexico in the future. The 
Committee further directs the Department to brief the Committee 
within 180 days of the date of enactment of this act to detail 
ongoing efforts to address entry and exit data collection and 
exchange in the land border environment.
    Visa Overstays.--The Committee remains concerned that the 
large number of annual in-country alien overstays threatens 
national security and the integrity of legal immigration. 
Pursuant to section 1376 of title 8, United States Code, the 
Department is required to collect data on nonimmigrant aliens 
who have overstayed their visas and to report annual estimates 
to Congress. Biometric exit remains a top priority for the 
Committee, and the Committee recognizes the Department's 
progress to leverage investments to strengthen identification 
of overstays at POEs. From June 2017 to August 2019, through 
CBP's biometric exit program, over 22,000 overstays were 
identified. The Committee continues to make investments in 
immigration data improvements and in underlying IT capabilities 
that shall be applied to enhance information for operations, 
management needs, and the next overstay report. The Committee 
expects that the Department will provide the report on an 
annual basis. As previously required in the Joint Explanatory 
Statement accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2019, the Department shall submit an updated report outlining 
its comprehensive strategy for overstay enforcement and 
deterrence not later than 180 days after the date of enactment 
of this act. The report shall detail the steps being taken to 
identify aliens who have overstayed their visas, including 
those necessary to improve the capabilities to report such 
information; notify aliens of their required departure dates in 
advance; track such overstays for enforcement action; refuse or 
revoke current and future visas and travel authorization; and 
otherwise deter violations or take enforcement action. The 
report shall also outline the conditions under which an alien 
is admitted to the United States for ``duration of status'' and 
assess changes to such admission, since the required departure 
requirement. The Department is directed to provide the 
Committee with a monthly report, which will be made public on 
the Department's website, documenting when and where all family 
separations occur, the ages of all minors being separated from 
their family units, the nature of administrative or criminal 
charges filed against adult family members, as well as how 
often family units apprehended together are detained in ICE 
custody, referred to the Department of Health and Human 
Services Office of Refugee Resettlement [ORR], and/or deported 
separately. The report shall also detail plans on the 
reunification of family units.
    Immigration Reunification.--The Committee expects that the 
Department will, consistent with assessments that it is in the 
best interest of the child, and whenever possible, ensure that 
separated family units are reunited prior to removal, released 
from CBP or Bureau of Prisons custody, or transferred together 
upon transfer to ICE or ORR custody. The Committee understands 
that law enforcement officers will make decisions on a case-by-
case basis and may opt for the use of the full spectrum of 
alternatives to detention, including release on parole or 
recognizance or, if needed, enrollment into a community-based 
alternative to detention program, over the detention of family 
members in separate facilities or in family detention 
facilities. The Committee expects the Department to ensure that 
individuals being transferred from CBP to ICE custody, 
currently in ICE custody, or under ICE supervision, have 
opportunities to report family separation incidents; to verify 
the status, location, and disposition of family members; and to 
regularly communicate by telephone with one another. The 
Department shall also ensure that agents and officers are 
properly trained in child welfare screening for child victims 
of trafficking, in accordance with the Trafficking Victims 
Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-457).
    Ending Online Child Exploitation.--The Department is 
engaged in a number of commendable efforts to end human 
trafficking and child exploitation. The Committee directs the 
Department to brief the Committee semiannually on all of the 
required data pertaining to Department-wide efforts to combat 
human trafficking and child exploitation.
    Records Management.--The Committee expects the Department 
to maintain records and respond to records requests, consistent 
with the requirements of section 552 of title 5, United States 
Code, for information related to all detainees in the custody 
of the Department, regardless of whether such detainees are 
housed in a Federal or non-Federal detention facility. The 
Committee further notes that the Department should not withhold 
records from disclosure unless the Department reasonably 
foresees that disclosure would harm an interest protected by an 
exemption described in section 552(b) of title 5, United States 
Code or is otherwise prohibited by law.
    Executive Order 13780 Reports.--The Committee directs the 
Secretary of Homeland Security to submit to the Committee on 
Appropriations any report submitted to the President under 
section 4 of Presidential Proclamation 9645.
    Unintentional Firearm Discharges.--Unintentional firearm 
discharges present risks to officer safety and to the public, 
including death, injury, liability, and negative community 
relations. The Committee seeks to better understand 
unintentional firearm discharges Department-wide. The 
Department shall brief the Committee not later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act on the rate of 
unintentional firearm discharges across all components. The 
brief should provide details on how to mitigate the 
unintentional discharge of firearms, particularly standard-
issue rifles, including physical means of protecting the 
trigger well of firearms in a way that does not impede the 
purposeful use of the weapon.
    Unified Immigration Portal [UIP].--Public Law 116-26 
provided emergency supplemental appropriations for humanitarian 
assistance and security at the southern border, including 
$50,000,000 for mission support data systems and analysis, 
which includes funding for the interagency UIP. The Department 
is directed to provide, in consultation with the Departments of 
Justice and Health and Human Services, a briefing to the 
Committee within 30 days of the date of enactment of this act 
on a spending plan for the UIP.

                            OFFICE OF POLICY

    A total of $55,980,000 is provided for the Office of 
Policy, which is $20,300,000 above the budget request amount 
and $18,030,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. This 
amount includes funding for personnel which the budget request 
proposed be appropriated to the newly established Countering 
Weapons of Mass Destruction [CWMD] office. Under the 
recommendation, activities that are being carried out in the 
manner established during creation of the CWMD office are 
funded through their legacy appropriations structure. The 
recommendation includes $600,000 for the Immigration Data 
Initiative, instead of the $1,200,000 proposed, due to 
repricing of FTE personnel costs.
    Office for Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention 
[OTVTP].--On April 19, 2019, the Secretary announced the 
creation of OTVTP. The action purported to widen the scope of 
previous Departmental efforts to ensure that all forms of 
violence, regardless of the ideological motivation, are being 
addressed. The Secretary has stated DHS remains committed to 
preventing all forms of terrorism, including both international 
and domestic, as well as preventing acts of targeted violence 
such as those that are racially motivated. According to the 
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the majority 
of domestic terrorism cases are motivated by white supremacist 
extremism. The creation of the Office follows a February 14, 
2019, study by Homeland Security Operation Analysis Center 
entitled, Practical Terrorism Prevention. The study found gaps 
in the sustainability of terrorism prevention and emphasized 
that prevention must include threat of ideological violence 
from all sources.
    The Committee recommendation includes a requested transfer 
of $2,800,000 from the Office of Terrorism Prevention 
Partnerships to support the newly established OTVTP and 
$17,500,000 above the request for targeted violence and 
terrorism prevention grants and to conduct a community 
awareness and training program at the State, local, tribal, and 
territorial level. Within 30 days of the date of the enactment 
of this act, the Department shall brief the Committee on its 
plans to carry out the local community awareness and training 
program and on plans to administer the grant program. The 
briefing shall include a description of all threats; how 
threats are communicated to SLTT governments, the public, and 
the private sector; what resources and training are available 
to combat threats; the terrorism prevention training materials; 
and the progress of implementing the recommendations made in 
the Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center's Practical 
Terrorism Prevention study.

                 OFFICE OF PARTNERSHIPS AND ENGAGEMENT

    A total of $11,823,000 is provided for the Office of 
Partnerships and Engagement, which is $2,610,000 below the 
budget request amount and $2,743,000 below the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level. The recommendation includes a transfer of 
$2,800,000 to the Office of Policy to support movement of OTVTP 
to the newly established Office for Targeted Violence and 
Terrorism Prevention.
    Blue Campaign.--The Blue Campaign, a Department-wide 
initiative to combat human trafficking, has historically been 
operated by personnel detailed from components and funded 
through end-of-year contributions from components, an approach 
that is not appropriate for the program's long-term 
sustainment. Public Law 116-6 included direct funding of 
$1,638,000 for the Blue Campaign to continue support of 
dedicated personnel and to begin transitioning the program away 
from reliance on component contributions. The fiscal year 2020 
request proposed $1,600,000 for the program, which maintains 
fiscal year 2019 levels, but continues reliance on component 
contributions. This recommendation supports the request for the 
program. The Department is directed to sustain the program at 
not less than its total fiscal year 2019 level of $5,150,000 in 
fiscal year 2020 using component contributions to cover non-
personnel program costs. Should the Department continue to 
propose less than full, direct funding for the program, a 
complete justification shall be included in future budget 
submissions, as directed in the Joint Explanatory Statement 
accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019.

                       OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL

    A total of $21,484,000 is provided for the Office of 
General Counsel [OGC], which is the same as the budget request 
amount and $2,105,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. 
No funding is provided for additional attorneys as proposed in 
the budget request.
    Budget and Impoundment Control Act.--The Committee directs 
the Chief Counsel to provide a briefing not later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act updating the Committee 
on violations of section 1012 or section 1013 of the Budget and 
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 684 and 685) or Code 
of Federal Regulations Part 550, per prior year requirements.

              OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES

    A total of $25,312,000 is provided for the Office for Civil 
Rights and Civil Liberties [OCRCL], which is $1,374,000 above 
the budget request amount and the same as the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level. The funding above the budget request is to 
accommodate the increased workload expected in fiscal year 2020 
resulting from recent executive orders and changes to 
immigration policies and programs. OCRCL shall maintain its 
independence and oversight functions, which are vital to 
monitoring and investigating complaints.

                             PRIVACY OFFICE

    A total of $8,593,000 is provided for the Privacy Office, 
which is the same as the budget request amount and $71,000 
below the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. Funding in the amount 
of $1,000,000 is provided, as requested, to accommodate an 
increased workload in fiscal year 2020 resulting from recent 
executive orders and changes to immigration policies and 
programs. The Committee encourages all components of the 
Department to work closely with the Privacy Office to help 
identify and solve issues related to violations of the Privacy 
Act in a timely manner.

                         Management Directorate

    The Management Directorate has responsibility for oversight 
of the management and operations of the Department. The 
specific activities funded by this appropriation include the 
Immediate Office of the Under Secretary for Management [USM], 
the Office of the Chief Readiness Support Officer, the Office 
of the Chief Human Capital Officer, the Office of the Chief 
Security Officer, the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer 
[OCPO], the Office of the Chief Financial Officer [OCFO], the 
Office of the Chief Information Officer, and the Office of 
Biometric Identity Management.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,215,651,000 for the Management 
Directorate, which is $341,637,000 below the budget request 
amount and $40,651,000 below the fiscal year 2019 enacted 
level. The Committee continues to support the Department's 
efforts to bring greater transparency to the cost of management 
operations and to eliminate an inefficient, circular 
reimbursement process. Of the recommended amount, the Committee 
includes $2,000 for official reception and representation 
expenses.
    Each year, the Department floods the final days of the 
fiscal year with contracts to frenetically spend funds that are 
due to expire and be returned to the Department of the Treasury 
at the end of the fiscal year. These contracts have been used 
to address needs that were included in the upcoming fiscal 
year's budget request and creates a vicious cycle of double-
funding projects yet to be considered by the Committee. In the 
interest of eliminating duplication and waste wherever 
practicable, a general provision is included requiring the 
Department to find savings, particularly those derived from 
contracts that used fiscal year 2019 appropriations, to fund 
activities planned for fiscal year 2020.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 enacted and 
budget request levels:

                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

Appropriations, 2019....................................  $1,083,837,000

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,174,209,000 for Operations and 
Support [O&S], which is $1,781,000 below the budget request 
amount and $90,372,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted 
level.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 enacted and

    Component Obligation Plans.--The Department shall continue 
submitting obligation plans to the Committee on a quarterly 
basis, consistent with direction provided in the explanatory 
statement accompanying Public Law 114-113, and shall ensure 
that the obligation plans are connected to activity-level 
details in the budget justification materials. The Committee 
expects these plans to be delivered in a timely manner.

                 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF READINESS OFFICER

    The Committee recommends $98,878,000 for the Office of the 
Chief Readiness Officer [OCRO], which is $1,781,000 below the 
budget request amount and $8,152,000 above the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level. The amount provided above the request is to 
enable OCRO to keep pace with hiring expected in fiscal year 
2020.
    Field Efficiency Program.--The Committee supports this 
initiative and remains encouraged by the Department's continued 
focus on enhancing the unity of effort through regional mission 
support that strengthens operational execution, fulfills common 
requirements, and reduces cost.

               OFFICE OF THE CHIEF HUMAN CAPITAL OFFICER

    A total of $115,296,000 is provided for the Office of the 
Chief Human Capital Officer [OCHCO], which is the same as the 
budget request amount and $8,952,000 above the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level. This amount does not include funding for 
personnel proposed by the budget request in the newly 
established CWMD office. Under the recommendation, activities 
that are being carried out in the manner established during 
creation of the CWMD office are funded through their legacy 
appropriations structure.
    Hiring in Rural Communities.--The components continue to 
face challenges with filling vacant positions and providing for 
public safety in non-contiguous and rural States. Challenges in 
recruiting and retaining Federal employees has exacerbated 
chronic staffing problems at U.S. POEs and other areas critical 
to public safety. The Department is urged to examine how small 
businesses, including Native American, Alaska Native, and 
Native Hawaiian small businesses, could help the Department 
fill its unmet needs in communities and encouraged to explore 
existing opportunities to fill vacancies where possible. Not 
later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this act, the 
Department is directed to provide a report to the Committee on 
the challenges it faces recruiting and retaining Federal 
employees in non-contiguous and rural States. The report shall 
include a clear description of the obstacles related to using 
small businesses, information about rates of attrition, the 
number of unfilled positions, and the duration of time those 
positions have remained vacant. The report shall also provide 
an assessment of the effect these vacancies have on the ability 
of components to accomplish their statutory and administrative 
responsibilities.
    DHS Cybersecurity Professionals.--The Committee notes the 
efforts the Department has made in identifying and hiring of 
cybersecurity professionals using the Cybersecurity Talent 
Management System. To continue the success of building a 
professional workforce, OCHCO, in coordination with OCIO and 
CISA, must ensure consistency when identifying and certifying 
the skills and talents of employees. Not later than 30 days 
after the date of enactment of this act, OCHCO, in coordination 
with OCIO and CISA, shall brief the Committee on hiring of 
cybersecurity professionals and proposed solutions to develop 
standardized metrics used to ensure consistency in identifying 
skills and talents of employees across the agency. The briefing 
should include recommendations on how the IT-focused jobs can 
be classified for qualification standards that could be updated 
to meet the Department's needs.

                 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

    The Committee recommends $90,071,000 for the Office of the 
Chief Financial Officer, as requested, which is $22,730,000 
above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The Chief Financial 
Officer is directed to ensure that fiscal year 2021 budget 
justification materials for classified and unclassified budgets 
of all components are submitted, concurrent with the 
President's budget submission to the Congress.
    The justifications shall include:
  --Detailed data and explanatory descriptions for each request 
        and for each PPA, including offices that have been 
        identified as PPAs, reflected in the table at the end 
        of this report. Information should be presented in 
        quantifiable terms with specific breakdowns of the 
        funding.
  --Tables that compare prior year actual appropriations and 
        obligations, estimates of current year appropriations 
        and obligations, and the projected budget year 
        appropriations and obligations for all PPAs, sub-PPAs, 
        and FTE, including identifying each adjustment to base, 
        transfer, program increase, program decrease, and 
        staffing change proposed in fiscal year 2021.
  --Year-to-year changes described in terms that are clear and 
        unambiguous, excluding nonspecific terms such as 
        ``technical adjustment'' or ``administrative change'' 
        unless accompanied by a detailed explanation. 
        Explanations of adjustments to base funding, whether 
        increases or decreases, should be specific and compared 
        to prior year activity level, not just the entire PPA 
        level. All requested increases shall be justified with 
        measurable outcomes above the current baseline of 
        activity. If the Department does not have a current 
        measure of such baseline activity, the Department shall 
        establish one before requesting an increase.
  --For each operations and support PPA or sub-PPA reflected in 
        the table at the end of this report, a breakdown, for 
        fiscal year 2020 enacted amounts and fiscal year 2021 
        requested amounts, of pay and non-pay amounts.
  --For investment end items with severable unit costs in 
        excess of $250,000 or a lifecycle cost in excess of 
        $300,000,000, the project description, justification, 
        total cost, and scope; key acquisition milestones from 
        the prior year, year of execution, and budget year; the 
        funding history by fiscal year, to include prior 
        enacted appropriations, obligations, and expenditures; 
        contract information to include contract number, 
        contractor, type, award date, start date, end date, 
        earned value management potential in the contract, and 
        total contract value; and significant changes to the 
        prior year enacted budget, project schedule, and 
        estimated time to completion.
  --For severable end items, the quantity of each item by prior 
        years, current year, budget year, and out-year; the 
        quantity of units delivered on contract, funded but not 
        yet on contract, and planned but unfunded; and the 
        delivery schedule by quarter for the end item, 
        delineated by fiscal year funding.
  --Information by appropriation and PPA on all reimbursable 
        agreements and significant uses of the Economy Act 
        (Public Law 73-2) for each fiscal year.
  --An accurate, detailed table identifying the last year that 
        authorizing legislation was enacted into law for each 
        appropriation, including the amount of the 
        authorization, when the authorization expires, 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 changes, whether they are new or amend 
        existing law and whether they are substantive or 
        technical in nature, with an annotated comparison of 
        proposed versus existing language.
  --A report on the status of overdue Committee-required 
        reports, plans, or briefings for each of fiscal years 
        2019 and 2020.
    Any significant new activity that has not been explicitly 
justified to the Committee or for which funds have not been 
provided in appropriations acts requires the submission of a 
reprogramming or transfer request.
    Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems.--The Committee is pleased 
that numerous components are undertaking efforts to mitigate 
the threat of hostile unmanned aerial systems [UAS] and directs 
the Department to include an estimate of Department-wide 
counter-UAS funding within the request, by PPA, in the 
justification materials accompanying the fiscal year 2021 
budget request. In addition, within 60 days of the date of 
enactment of this act, the Department shall brief the Committee 
on its estimated funding needs, including those not addressed 
within the fiscal year 2021 budget request, for fiscal years 
2021 through 2024 to research, test, acquire, and deploy 
counter-UAS capabilities.
    Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems [sUAS] Procurement.--The 
Committee remains concerned about the threat of foreign-made 
sUAS collecting intelligence on U.S. national security 
facilities and critical infrastructure. In May 2019, the 
Department, in coordination with other departments and 
agencies, issued an industry alert warning organizations about 
risks posed by Chinese-manufactured Unmanned Aircraft Systems 
[UAS] and UAS components used in safety and security 
operations. Specifically, the alert highlighted recent laws 
passed in China that may require companies, including 
manufacturers of UAS, to provide information to the Chinese 
government for intelligence gathering purposes. For the 
purposes of securing and protecting infrastructure critical to 
national security, requirements for purchases of American-made 
UAS should be implemented as soon as practicable. Until such 
requirements are in place, for any acquisition using funds in 
this act, including those by Federal grant recipients, the 
Department shall require certification of review of the 
industry alert, and any subsequent UAS guidance, and completion 
of a risk assessment that considers the proposed use of the 
foreign-made UAS. The Committee directs the Department to 
conduct a review of domestically produced alternatives and 
update guidance, as appropriate.

                OFFICE OF THE CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER

    The Office of the Chief Information Officer [OCIO] is 
responsible for oversight of information technology [IT] 
systems and infrastructure development and acquisitions 
oversight, including that at Data Center 1 [DC1] and Data 
Center 2 [DC2], to support the missions and activities of the 
Department. The Committee recommends $416,884,000 for OCIO O&S, 
which is the same as the budget request amount and $19,654,000 
above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level.
    Data Center Consolidation.--The Committee is pleased with 
OCIO's continued leadership in data center consolidation, which 
is enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency, and security of the 
Department's IT enterprise. Further, the Committee commends 
OCIO for its efforts to collaborate with the National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration to gain efficiencies by 
establishing IT operations centers at DC1 and by encouraging 
other Federal partners to co-locate with the Department at its 
data centers. The Committee shares OCIO's concerns with 
attracting, developing, and maintaining a qualified IT and 
cybersecurity workforce and looks forward to collaborating to 
develop workforce pipelines and workforce retention incentives. 
However, the Committee is concerned about the speed by which 
the Department may be moving to shift data and applications to 
the cloud computing environment. In addition to budget 
justification materials and obligation plans, OCIO shall 
provide semiannual briefings to the Committee on the execution 
of its major initiatives and investment areas. Such briefings 
shall include details regarding cost, schedule, hybrid data 
center and cloud solutions, and the transfer of systems to or 
from Department data centers or external hosts.
    Joint Wireless Program Management Office.--The Committee 
supports the activities of the Joint Wireless Program 
Management Office and provides $879,000 for this purpose.

                OFFICE OF BIOMETRIC IDENTITY MANAGEMENT

    The Committee recommends $254,062,000 for the Office of 
Biometric Identity Management [OBIM], which is the same as the 
budget request amount and $23,254,000 above the fiscal year 
2019 enacted level. OBIM is an enterprise-level biometric 
identity service provider that has cross-cutting responsibility 
to serve and coordinate with the components and other Federal 
agencies.
    Semi-Annual Briefings.--OBIM is directed to continue 
briefing the Committee on a semiannual basis on its workload, 
service levels, staffing, modernization efforts, and other 
operations.

    DHS Headquarters Consolidation.--Within 30 days of the date 
of enactment of this act, the Department shall provide the 
Committee with an updated master plan for St. Elizabeths 
certified by the Secretary or with a report detailing the 
rationale for submitting a budget request for activities 
inconsistent with its current master plan. The Committee will 
not consider additional funding beyond those already 
appropriated until the GSA revised master plan is completed in 
fiscal year 2020.
    Financial Modernization.--The Department continues to 
pursue financial systems modernization [FSM] for which Congress 
has provided over $150,000,000 since 2003. The Committee 
continues to have concerns regarding the cost of this effort, 
as well as the potential for the Department to move forward in 
a manner other than conducting a competitive award process. The 
Committee directs the Department within 90 days of the date of 
enactment of this act to provide a strategy for the acquisition 
of software and services related to FSM, including an analysis 
of alternatives and a plan for how the Department will ensure 
full and open competition in the award of all related 
contracts.

                       FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE

Appropriations, 2019....................................  $1,527,110,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................   1,559,930,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,559,930,000

    The Federal Protective Service [FPS] is responsible for: 
the security and protection of Federal property under the 
control of the General Services Administration [GSA]; the 
enforcement of laws pertaining to the protection of persons and 
designated property; the prevention of breaches of peace; and 
enforcement of any rules and regulations made and promulgated 
by the GSA Administrator 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.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,559,930,000 for FPS, as 
requested, and these amounts are offset by collections paid by 
GSA tenants and credited to the account.
    The Committee expects to receive the report regarding a 
method to assess and allocate costs for counter measures, as 
required in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, without 
delay.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 enacted and

and $23,388,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The 
details of these recommendations are included in a classified

    Annual Budget Justification Materials.--The Committee 
directs that the fiscal year 2021 budget justification 
materials for the classified budget shall include the same 
level of detail required for other appropriations and PPAs.
    Intelligence Expenditure Plan.--The Department's Chief 
Intelligence Officer is directed to brief the Committee on the 
I&A expenditure plan for fiscal year 2020 within 180 days of 
the date of enactment of this act. The plan shall include the 
following:
  --fiscal year 2020 expenditures and staffing allotted for 
        each program as compared to fiscal years 2017 through 
        2019;
  --all funded versus on-board positions, including FTE, 
        contractors, and reimbursable and non-reimbursable 
        detailees;
  --a plan for all programs and investments, including dates or 
        timeframes for achieving key milestones;
  --allocation of funding within each PPA for individual 
        programs and a description of the desired outcomes for 
        fiscal year 2020; and
  --items outlined in the classified annex accompanying this 
        report.
    State and Local Fusion Centers.--The Committee is 
encouraged by the Department's previous reporting that 
commended the outreach of the Kansas Intelligence Fusion Center 
[KIFC] to critical infrastructure operators and encourages the 
Department to continue collaboration with KIFC. However, the 
Committee remains concerned with the Department's guidance on 
the classification level of reporting generated by the KIFC and 
directs the Department to coordinate with KIFC leadership in 
order to facilitate publication of Intelligence Information 
Reports [IIR] related to cyber threats against critical 
infrastructure at the TS/SCI level. The Committee expects the 
Department to report on Intelligence Community agencies that 
utilize IIR's originating from the KIFC. The KIFC mission and 
unique partnerships should continue to be leveraged as a State-
based Center of Excellence for multi-agency, multi-discipline 
public-private partnership that enhances threat information 
sharing and collaboration.

                      Office of Inspector General

    The OIG conducts audits, inspections, investigations, and 
other reviews of the Department's programs and operations. OIG 
promotes economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of the 
Department, with the goal of preventing and detecting fraud, 
waste, and abuse.

    Inspectors General across the government, including the 
Department's OIG, perform a critical function in behalf of the 
Congress and the American public. OIG estimates that its work 
to deter waste, fraud, and abuse saves the Department $10.80 
for every $1.00 appropriated to support OIG operations.
    Expenditure Plan.--The Joint Explanatory Statement 
accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 and 
previous reports required that OIG submit a detailed 
expenditure plan with its fiscal year 2020 budget justification 
documents. The Committee expects that the information 
accompanying OIG's fiscal year 2021 budget request shall 
include information that breaks down proposed expenditures by 
focus area and activity type.
    Acquisition Fraud.--The Committee shares OIG's concern with 
the increasing sophistication of those seeking to commit 
acquisition fraud. Advanced analytical capabilities are needed 
to carry out highly complex investigations into acquisition 
fraud, which could involve corruption within the Department. 
For these reasons, the Committee continues funding for 
combatting increased sophistication in acquisition fraud.
    Custody Operations Reporting.--OIG shall continue its 
program of unannounced inspections of immigration detention 
facilities. OIG shall publish its final report regarding the 
inspections within 180 days of the date of enactment of this 
act. The Secretary shall ensure that the results of the 
inspections, and other reports and notifications related to 
custody operations activities, are posted on a publicly 
available website.

              TITLE I--ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--THIS ACT

    Section 101. The Committee continues a provision requiring 
the Chief Financial Officer to submit monthly budget execution 
and staffing reports within 30 days after the close of each 
month.
    Section 102. The Committee continues a provision regarding 
grants or contracts awarded by means other than full and open 
competition and requires OIG to review them and report the 
results to the Committee.
    Section 103. The Committee continues a provision requiring 
the Secretary to link all contracts that provide award fees to 
successful acquisition outcomes.
    Section 104. The Committee continues a provision requiring 
the Secretary, in conjunction with the Secretary of Treasury, 
to notify the Committee of any proposed transfers from the 
Department of Treasury Forfeiture Fund to any agency at the 
Department.
    Section 105. The Committee continues a provision related to 
official travel costs of the Secretary and Deputy Secretary.
    Section 106. The Committee continues a provision requiring 
the Secretary to submit reports on visa overstay data and to 
post border security metrics on its website.

                                TITLE II

    SECURITY, ENFORCEMENT, AND INVESTIGATIONS

                   U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] is responsible for 
enforcing laws regarding the admission of foreign-born persons 
into the United States and for ensuring that all goods and 
persons entering and exiting the United States do so legally.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $20,613,714,000 for CBP, which is 
$234,200,000 below the budget request amount and $3,317,464,000 
above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The budget request 
assumed CBP would retain $160,800,000 in additional collections 
for the Electronic System for Travel Authorization [ESTA] to 
offset costs for CBP activities. Assuming this fee proposal in 
advance of its authorization allowed the budget request to 
propose programmatic growth that is not founded in reality. The 
Committee cannot afford the luxury of this assumption and is 
required to fill this funding gap.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 enacted and 
fiscal year 2020 budget request levels:

    Opioid Enforcement Activities.--The Committee notes CBP's 
key role in stopping the flow of opioids into the United 
States. The Office of Field Operations [OFO] and Border Patrol 
personnel seizures of illicit fentanyl, which is a particularly 
potent opioid, have increased significantly from approximately 
2 pounds seized in fiscal year 2013 to 2,291 pounds seized in 
fiscal year 2019, through July 2019. These seizures have been 
aided by enhancements to both personnel and technology enabled 
by this Committee. In furtherance of CBP's efforts, the 
recommendation continues to fund opioid targeting and detection 
activities previously funded within OFO and Laboratories and 
Scientific Services and includes $127,300,000 to procure 200 
small scale Non-Intrusive Inspection equipment to assist with 
detection of narcotics.
    Analytical Data-Driven Tools and Capabilities.--The 
Committee recognizes CBP's initial efforts to use analytics and 
modeling to make smarter decisions on the use of existing 
resources and the need for additional investments as evidenced 
by the successful joint Border Patrol and Operations Support 
modeling project that identifies the optimal placement of 
rescue beacons along the southwest border to help Border Patrol 
agents respond faster to individuals in distress. The Committee 
notes that predictive analytics, in particular, will provide 
CBP insights on likely future behavior and activities enabling 
the agency to make more data-driven operational and resource 
decisions. The Committee directs CBP to accelerate efforts to 
adopt and incorporate these types of tools. Within 90 days of 
the date enactment of this act, CBP shall brief the Committee 
on a plan to expand the use of analytics and modeling across 
the agency to inform investment decisions in priority programs.

                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

Appropriations, 2019.................................... $12,179,729,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................  12,513,492,000
Committee recommendation................................  12,364,210,000

    The CBP Operations and Support [O&S] appropriation provides 
funds for border security, immigration, customs, agricultural 
inspections, the regulation and facilitation of international 
trade, the collection of import duties, and the enforcement of 
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 finance the operation and implementation of 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 Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 
Act (Public Law 110-53).
    Immigration Enforcement Fine.--CBP collects fines from 
owners of transportation lines and from other 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, Canadian Border 
Boat Landing permits, Mexican Non-Resident Alien Border 
Crossing Cards, FAST, SENTRI and NEXUS application fees, as 
authorized by the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
1356).
    Public-Private Partnership Reimbursements.--CBP is 
authorized by the Cross Border Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 
(Public Law 114-279) to enter into mutually beneficial 
agreements with stakeholders at select POEs whereby CBP is 
reimbursed for enhanced customs and agricultural processing, 
border security, and immigration inspection-related services.
    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 covered 
expenses.
    Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Inspection 
Fee.--CBP receives as a transfer a distribution of agriculture 
inspection fees collected by the U.S. 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 
section 565(3)(B) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 
(Public Law 110-161).
    U.S. Virgin Islands [USVI] Fee Fund.--The 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 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 sections 740 and 795 of title 48, United States 
Code.
    Small Airport User Fee.--The User Fee Airports Program 
under section 58b of title 19, United States Code and 
administered under section 58c(b)(9)(A)(i) of title 19, United 
States Code, 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 memoranda of 
agreement between small airport facilities and CBP 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) that remain in CBP 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) of title 19, 
United States Code, and without all estimated duties and 
storage or other charges having been paid, are considered 
unclaimed and abandoned. This account represents the proceeds 
from the liquidation of that account.
    Preclearance Reimbursements.--The authorization of 
preclearance activities under the Trade Facilitation and Trade 
Enforcement Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-125), provide authority 
for CBP to both collect and spend reimbursements, including 
spending in anticipation of reimbursements.
    9/11 Response and Biometric Exit Account.--Public Law 114-
113 authorized amounts of up to $1,000,000,000 to be collected 
through fee surcharges over a period of 10 years for the 
implementation of a biometric exit program. To date, 
$135,001,800 has been expended by CBP in support of the 
biometric exit program.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $12,364,210,000 for O&S, which is 
$149,282,000 below the budget request amount and $184,481,000 
above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. This total includes 
$3,274,000 from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund and 
$2,579,622,080 from the merchandise processing fee. Reductions 
to the requested pay adjustments due to the under-execution of 
planned hiring in fiscal year 2019 are reflected in the 
appropriate PPAs.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 enacted and 
fiscal year 2020 budget request levels:

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

    Resource Prioritization.--The Committee recognizes that the 
Office of Field Operations [OFO] has a robust workload staffing 
model and despite the Committee's requesting similar workload 
staffing models for several years, Air and Marine Operations 
[AMO] and U.S. Border Patrol [USBP] have not completed such 
analyses. The budget's request for new Border Patrol agents was 
not supported by a CBP-wide or Department-wide, let alone 
Federal Government-wide, review of workload and capability gaps 
that would be necessary to evaluate the benefits of the 
proposal as weighed against adding staff at the POEs. CBP-wide 
analyses should inform daily operational decisions and longer-
term resource planning at CBP. The Committee directs CBP to 
brief the Committee bimonthly on efforts to evaluate CBP-wide 
workload, capabilities, assets, and human resource gaps; and to 
use the results of the quarterly analyses to support the fiscal 
year 2021 budget request.
    Recruitment, Hiring and Retention.--The Committee has 
invested heavily in efforts to enhance the hiring and retention 
of CBP law enforcement personnel and recognizes CBP's continued 
hiring challenges, particularly in the USBP. Retention of 
existing staff is critical to the continued success of CBP and 
the Committee is aware of CBP's efforts to improve hiring of 
CBP officers and encourages CBP to continue to use and build 
upon the streamlined process developed. The Committee 
encourages CBP to use available fee funding to hire new CBP 
officers. The Committee is also aware that law enforcement 
personnel have been performing tasks that could reasonably be 
completed by non-law enforcement personnel, such as technicians 
working in Federal positions or contractors. Within 90 days of 
the date of enactment of this act, CBP is directed to brief the 
Committee on efforts to develop new position descriptions, 
expand the use of technicians, and hire new personnel or enter 
into contracts where feasible. The briefing shall detail all 
efforts to improve hiring and retention of all of its law 
enforcement components, including existing and planned 
strategies and initiatives to accomplish this goal, and shall 
provide data detailing the impact these new positions are 
expected to have on increasing the capacity of CBP law 
enforcement personnel. Given well-documented hiring challenges, 
CBP shall continue efforts to use available incentives to 
recruit and retain employees in rural and remote areas and 
explore other strategies, such as career path enhancements, 
alternative schedules, and non-salary benefits for employees 
who are willing to choose such locations.
    Law Enforcement Suitability Analysis.--The Committee 
recognizes that the polygraph test continues to elicit serious 
admissions of criminal conduct by prospective CBP law 
enforcement employees and remains concerned with the high 
polygraph failure rate for potential CBP hires. The Committee 
appreciates CBP's recent submission of the report on the 
effectiveness of polygraph tests required in Senate Report 115-
283. The Committee recognizes the recent improvements that have 
resulted in a 176 percent increase in applicants who 
successfully completed the polygraph. The Committee directs CBP 
to continue to administer the Law Enforcement Pre-Employment 
Test, a pre-employment screening polygraph examination, to all 
law enforcement officer applicants. The Committee requests a 
briefing within 120 days of the date of enactment of this act 
on CBP's implementation of a presecurity interview, as 
recommended by the Department's OIG, to remove unsuitable 
applicants earlier in the hiring process.
    Northern Border.--The Committee remains concerned about 
threats to the U.S. passing through the northern border and 
notes the northern border threat analysis, required by Public 
Law 114-267 and received on June 12, 2018, provided information 
on how best to deploy resources along the northern border but 
lacked specificity regarding the targeted deployment of 
personnel and resources. The Committee expects the fiscal year 
2021 budget request to detail specific northern border staffing 
requirements and request specific funding for implementation of 
planned northern border enforcement initiatives enumerated in 
the analysis.
    Law Enforcement Safety and Compliance Expansion.--The 
Committee supports the $19,400,000 requested for human 
resources, financial support, logistics, and other requirements 
associated with the procurement, invoicing, inventory, 
shipping, and training needed to transition to the 9mm duty 
weapon for all CBP law enforcement officers and agents. The 
Committee understands that the program will require increased 
capacity at the Law Enforcement Support Center Directorate 
located at the Advanced Training Center [ATC] and provides an 
additional $10,000,000 to address these requirements within 
close proximity to the ATC.

                       BORDER SECURITY OPERATIONS

    The Committee recommends $4,750,831,000 for Border Security 
Operations, which is $168,863,000 below the budget request 
amount and $11,630,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted 
level. The budget request assumed the employment of hundreds of 
agents the USBP was unable to onboard in fiscal year 2019 due 
to continued challenges with hiring and retention, as evident 
from the net gain of seven agents reported by CBP through the 
first 10 months of fiscal year 2019. Additionally, since the 
submission of the budget request, Congress passed Public Law 
116-26 on July 1, 2019, providing $1,100,431,000 to CBP as part 
of emergency supplemental appropriations for humanitarian 
assistance and security at the southern border. The Committee's 
recommendation reflects the reality of hiring challenges and 
the additional funding provided and therefore reduces the 
request as requested to sustain current staffing.
    Border Patrol Technicians, Transportation Specialists, and 
Human Source Activities.--The Committee recognizes that some of 
the functions currently being performed by Border Patrol agents 
can be done by non-law enforcement personnel and is supportive 
of efforts to develop new positions for transportation and 
other activities. The Committee provides funding to hire 200 
technicians. The Committee understands this level of 
technicians is expected to return the equivalent of 160 Border 
Patrol agents to the frontline with those technicians 
performing administrative and other duties at a fraction of the 
costs of agents. Personnel in these newly developed positions 
would provide exposure to the Border Patrol's mission to a 
broader group of individuals while allowing law enforcement 
personnel to focus on law enforcement activities. The Committee 
also provides an increase of $1,000,000 for human source 
activities.
    Humanitarian Support and Actions.--The Committee notes that 
the USBP conducts humanitarian efforts every day. In fiscal 
year 2019, Border Patrol agents rescued over 4,000 individuals, 
including hundreds of children. Additionally, in fiscal year 
2019, with funding provided by this Committee, and to meet its 
intent, the Border Patrol made investments in standing up new 
soft-sided facilities and augmented existing southwest border 
facilities with over 950 shower stalls, 250 portable toilets, 
80 commercial washer/dryer sets, and 100 climate control 
systems. Accompanying these facilities investments, the Border 
Patrol purchased supplies and consumable products, such as, 
food, water, blankets, sanitary items, and hygiene products.
    Medical Personnel and Healthcare Protocols.--The Committee 
is concerned about the lack of medical personnel and resources 
in remote areas of the southern border and recommends resources 
requested to improve medical care. In response to migrant 
deaths along our Nation's borders and the number of injuries to 
Border Patrol agents, the Committee recognizes the need to 
enhance CBP's ability to adequately allocate medical resources 
in remote areas of the southern border and increase the amount 
of Border Patrol agents with Emergency Medical Technician [EMT] 
and paramedic certification. Within 60 days of the date of the 
enactment of this act, the Commissioner shall provide 
appropriate medical supplies to each Border Patrol agent with 
an EMT or paramedic certification. Additionally, appropriate 
medical and hygiene supplies shall be provided to each Border 
Patrol sector, including all remote stations and forward 
operating bases, and to agents on patrol. In developing the 
appropriate list of medical supplies required, the Commissioner 
shall consult with and consider recommendations from national 
organizations with expertise in emergency medical care, 
including emergency medical care of children.
    Border Access.--The Committee directs CBP to analyze the 
needs of specialty units, including those utilizing horses and 
off-road vehicles, along the U.S.-Mexico border to better 
disperse resources or identify additional needs. The Committee 
urges CBP to work with counties along the U.S.-Mexico border to 
identify unimproved county roads that are used predominantly by 
USBP and that provide critical access to the border region for 
the purpose of maintaining security. The Committee further 
urges CBP to incorporate the maintenance and repair of the 
identified high-priority access roads into its Tactical 
Infrastructure Maintenance and Repair program.
    Community Oriented Policing.--Community oriented policing 
is an evidence-based law enforcement practice that can assist 
Border Patrol agents in an effort to improve relationships, 
develop intelligence, and gain situational awareness throughout 
border communities. The Committee directs CBP to implement a 
pilot project on the use of community oriented policing teams 
in urban and suburban border communities and to report on the 
results of the pilot project within 90 days of the date of 
enactment of this act.
    Body Cameras.--The Committee directs CBP to require the use 
of body cameras for officers and agents in interactions with 
the public at predetermined small scale areas and to finalize, 
in consultation with the Department's OCRCL, the Privacy 
Office, and the Department of Justice's Office of Privacy and 
Civil Liberties, a Department-wide policy protecting the 
privacy of both personnel and the public to accompany 
implementation.
    Transportation Checks and Roving Enforcement.--The 
Committee directs CBP to collect and semiannually report to 
Congress data pertaining to USBP transportation and immigration 
checkpoints. The report shall exclude law enforcement sensitive 
information and include necessary redactions of all personal 
and identifying information about specific individuals. The 
report shall include, at a minimum, the following information: 
the total number of patrol stops made by CBP personnel during 
transportation checks; and a description of the boarding of 
public conveyances by CBP personnel at air, maritime, and land 
environments, including ports and terminals. Additionally, the 
report shall include the following information when an arrest 
is made: the total number of arrests by location; the total 
number of use-of-force incidents during an arrest by location; 
the citizenship status of any individual arrested; and the 
total amount of drugs, currency, and firearms seized as a 
result of transportation checks. The report shall also include 
the following information pertaining to immigration 
checkpoints: the location of all tactical and permanent 
checkpoints that were in operation for any period of time; the 
total number of arrests by location; the total number of use-
of-force incidents during an arrest by location; the 
citizenship status of subjects stopped or arrested following 
secondary inspection at checkpoints; and the total amount of 
drugs, currency, and firearms seized at checkpoints.
    Temporary Facilities.--The Committee reminds CBP that while 
its temporary shelter facilities are not designed for nor 
intended to be used as long-term shelters, the facilities must 
meet all appropriate care standards for special populations, 
especially children. Within 60 days of the date of enactment of 
this act and weekly thereafter, CBP shall report to the 
Committee on the number of detainees currently being held by 
CBP for longer than 48 hours and for longer than 72 hours in 
these facilities. This report shall be posted on a publicly 
available website; list all CBP facilities used for holding 
detainees and include the average daily population and the 
daily population at these facilities at the time of 
publication; and cite the reasons for any extended custody of 
individuals at the facilities.
    Sanitation and Waste Operations.--The Committee is 
concerned by reports that toxic transboundary flows of 
untreated sewage, chemicals, and pollution from Mexico are 
jeopardizing the health of Border Patrol agents and limiting 
their ability to operate in areas affected by these flows. In 
recent years, local Border Patrol union officials have reported 
that dozens of officers have suffered from contamination, 
rashes, infections, chemical burns, and lung irritation due to 
toxic cross-border flows. Not later than 180 days after the 
date of enactment of this act and annually thereafter, CBP 
shall submit a report to the Committee detailing efforts to 
protect agents and mitigate health impacts to personnel related 
to toxic cross-border flows. Further, CBP shall work with 
States, localities, and other governmental entities to ensure 
that any planned new development or expansion of detritus 
industrial operations, including landfills and recycling 
facilities, within one mile of the southern border do not 
negatively impact border security operations.

        TRADE AND TRAVEL OPERATIONS--OFFICE OF FIELD OPERATIONS

    The Committee recommends $4,345,953,000 for the Office of 
Field Operations, which is $147,676,000 above the request and 
$105,324,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. This 
total includes funding at the request to support 267 additional 
positions, including 119 CBP Officers, 75 Mission Support 
Specialists, 60 CBP Technicians, 5 CBP Agriculture Specialists, 
4 Seizure Property Specialists, increases funding for the new 
CBP officers funded in fiscal year 2019; and provides 
enhancements to help stop the flow of illicit drugs and other 
dangerous items through POEs.
    Opioid Enforcement.--The Committee supports OFO's opioid 
enforcement activities, including fentanyl, and continues 
funding provided in prior fiscal years within O&S to support 
OFO's continued focus on these activities, including increases 
to both law enforcement and scientific staffing, and deployment 
of technology at POEs needed to aid in stopping the flow of 
opioids into the United States. The recommendation continues 
funding for additional canine teams, and for enhancing 
laboratory staffing and scientific equipment under the 
Integrated Operations, Operations and Support PPA.
    Combatting Transportation of Firearms and Illicit Funds.--
The Committee is concerned that illicit monetary instruments 
and firearms continue to be smuggled from the U.S. into Mexico, 
fueling transnational criminal organization activities, 
including drug trafficking and violent crime. One effective 
means to combat trafficking is to stop the flow of financial or 
other resources that fuel the activity. Existing domestic and 
foreign laws restrict the transportation of firearms and 
undeclared monetary instruments greater than $10,000. The 
Committee encourages CBP to continue to collaborate with 
domestic and international partners to identify and apprehend 
smugglers, as well as report to the Committee any additional 
authorities or resources needed to stymie the flow.
    International Mail and Express Consignment Facilities.--The 
Committee supports CBP's role at International Mail and Express 
Consignment Facilities in reducing the entry of scheduled 
narcotics and other illicit and restricted drugs through these 
facilities and encourages continued collaboration with the U.S. 
Postal Service and the Food and Drug Administration [FDA]. 
Previously provided funds, and funds provided in this act, 
shall be made available for facility improvements; detection 
and testing equipment upgrades; increased capacity for testing 
and storing illegal and regulated substances; interoperability 
improvements with FDA detection equipment; innovative 
technologies that apply advanced analytics and machine learning 
capabilities; and increased staffing levels. Funds provided for 
these improvements are essential to strengthen CBP enforcement 
efforts to halt these illegal, illicit, and regulated 
substances from entering the United States.
    Field Operations Staffing.--The Committee provided funding 
in fiscal year 2019 for hiring 600 new CBP officers and support 
personnel to address a significant shortage of officers 
facilitating legitimate trade and travel while simultaneously 
preventing the entry of illicit goods and narcotics and 
inadmissable persons. While making significant progress in 
hiring additional officers recently funded by new 
appropriations and the allocation of fee balances to staffing, 
CBP will not meet the staffing targets detailed in its Resource 
Allocation Model. It is imperative that sufficient personnel be 
present at all POEs to adequately staff inspection lanes for 
passenger processing and operate all technologies that inspect 
for and interdict illegal drugs, including opioids and 
fentanyl. Additional officers recently funded by the Committee 
will also alleviate the need to temporarily assign officers to 
other ports or regions, such as the southern border, to conduct 
surge operations. CBP shall provide the staffing of new and 
expanded aviation POEs to meet the demand of arriving passenger 
volumes based on data provided by the airport and airlines and 
incorporated into the Workload Staffing Model.
    Northern Border Land Ports of Entry.--The Committee 
encourages CBP to continue to work with the GSA and the Office 
of Management and Budget on its annual five-year plan, Land 
Port of Entry Modernization: Promoting Security, Travel, and 
Trade. The plan is based on CBP's operational priorities and 
should include plans to complete the modernization of pre-9/11 
POEs along the northern border. CBP shall prioritize staffing 
shortages at northern border POEs in an effort to expedite 
cross-border tourist and commercial traffic while paying 
special attention to the health, safety, and welfare needs of 
CBP officers. Additionally, the Committee continues to 
encourage CBP to increase the 24-hour use of NEXUS at land 
POEs. Further, the Committee expects CBP to examine ways to 
increase awareness and enrollment in the NEXUS program, 
including through special enrollment events and the deployment 
of signage in collaboration with State transportation agencies. 
The Committee anticipates expansion of this program and directs 
CBP to consider projected volume at land POEs when developing 
the five-year plan for port modernization projects.
    Gordie Howe International Bridge.--As requested, the 
Committee recommends $15,000,000 for the Gordie Howe 
International Bridge. Of this amount, $8,000,000 is provided 
for procurement of non-intrusive inspection [NII] systems and 
$7,000,000 is provided for procurement of radiation portal 
monitors. This funding will enable construction of the U.S. 
Customs Plaza to proceed and be operational upon completion of 
the bridge's construction as part of this public-private 
international partnership.
    Santa Teresa Port of Entry.--The Committee recognizes that 
the volume of trade at the Santa Teresa POE has experienced 
significant growth in the past decade. In 2017, the Santa 
Teresa POE was one of the top 10 southern land-based POEs in 
total trade value; a portion of this growth has been subsidized 
by a private company to increase the southbound commercial 
hours of operation. Due to such demand, CBP, in cooperation 
with GSA, should continue formally planning for the next group 
of high priority land POE enhancements as previously included 
in the annual report, Land Port of Entry Modernization: 
Promoting Security, Travel, and Trade.
    Automated Cargo Processing System for Tractor-Trailers.--
The Committee notes that CBP is taking steps to improve the 
efficiency and effectiveness of its automated cargo processing 
system for tractor-trailers crossing our Nation's land borders, 
including launching a proof-of-concept pilot at the Laredo 
Juarez-Lincoln POE in Texas. The Committee praises CBP's 
efforts to use the most accurate and effective technology 
available and to integrate those tools to reduce unnecessary 
cross-border wait times for tractor-trailers without 
compromising national security or customs enforcement. 
Inefficient manual processes needlessly strain CBP resources 
and damages our Nation's economy by slowing the flow of 
legitimate cross-border commerce. The Committee urges CBP to 
continue to prioritize its efforts as a component of its 
revised border security strategy. The Committee provided 
$570,000,000 in fiscal year 2019 for NII systems, significantly 
expanding CBP's capabilities to support automated cargo 
processing. The Committee provides $83,000,000 for activities 
in support of automated cargo processing. The Committee 
requests a briefing on efforts to improve automated cargo 
processing for tractor-trailers at land-based POEs into its 
border security strategy not later than 60 days after the date 
of enactment of this act.
    Maritime Ports of Entry.--The Committee continues to 
support robust staffing levels at both cargo and passenger 
seaports and strongly encourages CBP to work with seaports and 
associated stakeholders to improve clearance operations. The 
Committee notes that scanning equipment at maritime ports is 
reaching its expected normal performance life and directs CBP 
to provide as much information about equipment replacement 
events as practicable to port owners and operators to ensure 
recapitalization is performed in a consistent and transparent 
manner. Recognizing CBP's requirements for space in new 
facilities can add significant costs to projects, the Committee 
directs CBP to engage thoughtfully with ports when negotiating 
agreements with port owners and operators.
    Technology and Screening Policies and Processes at Ports of 
Entry.--The Committee has provided substantial funding 
increases for new personnel and new technology used to process 
vehicles and passengers passing though POEs. GAO, in report 
GAO-19-658, made several recommendations to CBP. GAO 
recommended the Commissioner of CBP review and update policies 
related to land POE inspections in accordance with OFO 
guidance, analyze the results of the Self-Inspection program 
and address potentially reoccurring inspection deficiencies at 
individual POEs, implement a policy to conduct periodic 
comprehensive analyses of covert test findings, and develop a 
new target for the land border interception rate for passengers 
in privately-owned vehicles with major violations that sets an 
ambitious and realistic goal based on past performance. The 
Committee directs CBP to brief the Committee within 90 days of 
the date of enactment of this act on action taken to address 
each recommendation from GAO.
    Border Security Deployment Program [BSDP].--Given the 
proven benefits to border security and officer safety, the 
Committee recommends funding requested for BSDP, and directs 
CBP to prioritize full implementation of BSDP and expand the 
integrated surveillance, intrusion, and detection system at all 
land POEs along the southern and northern borders. Within 90 
days of the date of enactment of this act, CBP shall report to 
the Committee on efforts to rapidly procure and implement the 
BSDP and the expansion of the integrated surveillance, 
intrusion, and detection system for the northern and southern 
borders.
    Great Lakes Cruise Vessels.--CBP is directed to continue 
working with Great Lakes seaports, cruise vessel operators, and 
other stakeholders to develop a regional cruise passenger 
clearance plan, and shall continue using mobile onboard 
passenger clearance technology until such plan is implemented. 
Within 90 days after the date of enactment of this act, CBP 
shall brief the Committee on its stakeholder engagement efforts 
and outline its plan for the efficient processing of Great 
Lakes cruise passengers.
    Agricultural Inspections.--The Committee recognizes that 
agricultural specialists are crucial for ensuring trade and 
travel safety; preventing the introduction of harmful exotic 
plant pests and foreign animal diseases, including from Asian 
pork products; and averting potential agricultural and bio-
terrorism in the United States. Currently, all POEs are 
understaffed relative to CBP's Workload Staffing Model, as well 
as the Agriculture Resource Allocation Model. CBP shall 
prioritize the hiring of agricultural specialists within 
resources provided and continue working with the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture to better leverage existing staff in 
addressing the agricultural inspection workload, such as 
through the authorization of additional work hours or dual 
certification. Additionally, CBP shall report to the Committee 
within 120 days of the date of enactment of this act on the 
potential for a voluntary pilot program for Agriculture 
Specialists and other uniformed, non-law enforcement personnel 
to carry firearms for personal protection purposes.
    The Committee is concerned with reports that transnational 
criminal organizations are combining narcotics smuggling and 
money laundering with legitimate agricultural operations in 
Mexico. The Committee directs CBP to collaborate with law 
enforcement partners in determining the extent of transnational 
criminal involvement in the transportation of foreign produce 
bound for the United States. CBP shall report quarterly on all 
significant cross-border drug seizures involving agricultural 
products, detailing how each seized shipment was smuggled and 
the specific commodity or agricultural product with which each 
seized shipment was smuggled. The first report shall be 
submitted to the Committee not later than 90 days after the 
date of enactment of this act.
    Land Ports of Entry Hours of Operation.--The Committee is 
concerned that a reduction in hours of operation at land POEs 
could unduly impede cross-border travel and negatively impact 
local and regional economic activity. The Committee directs CBP 
to consult with state and local elected officials, community 
members, and industry stakeholders prior to making changes in 
hours of operation. CBP shall refrain from reducing hours of 
operation at any land POE unless CBP can demonstrate that such 
a reduction will not impede local or regional commerce or 
unduly impede local resident traffic.
    Reimbursable Services Programs.--The Reimbursable Services 
Program enables partnerships with private sector and government 
entities to provide additional inspection services on a 
reimbursable basis upon request for stakeholders. It is 
critical that reimbursable programs are not used to supplant 
baseline service levels, but instead are used to supplement 
enhancement requests for service that CBP would be otherwise 
unable to perform. For instance, the Committee is concerned 
that previously CBP-budgeted Saturday rail services at POEs are 
now being covered under the Reimbursable Services Program. The 
Committee is concerned because this is but one of numerous 
reports of CBP shifting the costs of baseline service to the 
Reimbursable Services Program, and because these shifts can 
negatively affect terminal operators. To better establish 
expectations for all parties, the Committee directs CBP to 
provide each port operator with information on baseline service 
levels and report to the Committee quarterly on CBP's adherence 
to these baseline service levels. Additionally, CBP shall 
include information on requirements for staff, facility, and 
security upgrades for seaports to include marine and cruise 
terminals. It should address staffing shortages, upgraded 
facility and security requirements, and plans for technology 
recapitalization; the process used to decide how initiatives 
are funded; a justification for the scope of the requests; and 
how CBP will negotiate and incorporate the ports' involvement 
into the development of their capital management plan to allow 
for early identification and planning for future facility and 
security needs.
    The Committee encourages CBP to temporarily defer all 
current and future seaport facility requests until it has 
provided details on baseline service levels to each port 
operator and provides the Committee with estimates for future 
facility and security requirement upgrades and associated 
federally mandated technology.
    Jones Act Enforcement.--The Committee notes improvements to 
CBP's enforcement of the Jones Act on the Outer Continental 
Shelf. However, the Committee urges CBP to take more aggressive 
enforcement action and to issue swift, transparent, and 
meaningful penalties to deter violations. The Committee again 
directs CBP to continue tracking Jones Act violation data, 
including findings of fact; parties determined to be at fault; 
amounts of penalty assessments; and status of collections. CBP 
is directed to make such information available to the public 
and the Committee on a quarterly basis. Additionally, CBP must 
establish specific timeframes for internal review and actions, 
cooperate with the industry to investigate potential 
violations, and dedicate adequate resources in an effort to 
vigorously enforce the Jones Act on the Outer Continental 
Shelf. The Committee recognizes the need for uniform 
application and enforcement of the coastwise laws across the 
U.S. and directs CBP to continue to dedicate additional 
resources to its Jones Act Division of Enforcement in New 
Orleans, Louisiana. Continuing a previous administrative 
provision, funds are prohibited from being used to issue future 
waivers related to a release from the Strategic Petroleum 
Reserve until the Secretary has consulted with the Department 
of Energy and the Department of Transportation and 
representatives of the maritime industry and taken adequate 
steps to ensure enforcement of the Jones Act. The Secretary 
shall notify the Committee within 2 business days of any 
request for a Jones Act waiver. The Committee shall be informed 
on a timely basis of the disposition of each waiver request.
    Preclearance.--The Committee notes the continued success of 
the Preclearance program in expediting the security process for 
passengers traveling to the U.S., while simultaneously 
enforcing procedures that deter and detect national security 
threats from individuals, groups, or cargo attempting to enter 
the United States. Fees collected for this program shall be 
used in a targeted, risk-based fashion and shall prioritize the 
expansion of preclearance operations as outlined in the 
Department's Beyond the Border Action Plan between the United 
States and Canada for land, marine, rail, and air POEs. The 
Committee appreciates progress on efforts to establish 
preclearance for the mutually agreed upon sites of Billy Bishop 
Toronto City Airport, Quebec City Jean Lesage International 
Airport, Montreal Rail, and Rocky Mountaineer; and reiterates 
that such expansion is contingent upon each site meeting all 
terms and conditions of the agreement. The Committee encourages 
CBP to meet the objectives for preclearance activities, 
including obligations in advance of reimbursement authorized by 
the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 
(Public Law 114-125), and provides necessary funding to collect 
and expend reimbursements, including anticipated reimbursements 
for preclearance activities. As Canada has adopted companion 
legislation, the Committee expects CBP to make progress in 
negotiations with the Canada Border Services Agency, Transport 
Canada, and Public Safety Canada on expanding preclearance 
activities in Canada.
    Queue Management at Ports of Entry.--The Committee is aware 
that increased volumes of individuals applying for asylum at 
U.S. POEs has required CBP to expand metering or queue 
management practices to POEs across the U.S.-Mexico border. 
Within 30 days after the date of enactment of this act and 
monthly thereafter, the Committee directs OFO to produce a 
report detailing for each preceding month: the POEs along the 
southwest border at which queue management or metering 
practices have been employed; the number of asylum seekers 
processed at each such POE, as well as the total number of 
asylum seekers processed along the entire southwest border; and 
the number of asylum seekers turned away from each such POE due 
to queue management or metering practices. The Committee also 
requests that this monthly report include: CBP's rationale for 
queue management or metering practices at POEs; capacity and 
resource constraints leading to or requiring the implementation 
of queue management or metering practices at POEs; 
recommendations for alleviating such capacity and resource 
constraints at POEs; and any agreements or arrangements between 
CBP, or U.S. Government, and Government of Mexico authorities 
involving efforts to restrict the number of potential asylum 
seekers that can access a POE prior to entering the United 
States.
    Border Searches and Electronics.--The Committee notes the 
recent increases in the number of OFO's border device searches. 
In fiscal year 2019, CBP has conducted 29,256 electronic media 
exams, which resulted in 6,976 positive exams that led to 
criminal investigations or other enforcement actions. The 
Committee requests CBP provide a briefing within 30 days of the 
date of enactment of this act on the statistics used to track 
activities relating to border device searches, including new 
statistics distinguishing whether a positive exam is criminal 
or immigration related. Within 60 days of the date of enactment 
of this act and annually thereafter, the Committee directs CBP 
to collect and make publicly available data of instances in 
which OFO: accessed the digital contents of any electronic 
equipment belonging to or in possession of a U.S. citizen at 
the border; accessed the digital contents of any electronic 
equipment in possession of a non-citizen at the border; and 
detained an individual for refusing to disclose or provide 
consent to access the digital contents of any electronic 
equipment in the possession of an individual at the border, 
including the length of time such individual was detained by 
the Department. Within 60 days of the date of enactment of this 
act and annually thereafter, CBP shall collect and make 
publicly available on its website data pertaining to: the total 
number of U.S. persons for which a Governmental entity obtained 
access to the digital contents of electronic equipment 
belonging to or in the possession of the United States person 
at the border; the total number and nationality of non-citizens 
for which a Governmental entity obtained access to the digital 
contents of electronic equipment; aggregate data regarding the 
race and ethnicity of individuals for whom a Governmental 
entity obtained access to the digital contents of electronic 
equipment belonging to or in the possession of an individual at 
the border; and the number of times CBP searches an electronic 
device at the request of a Federal, State, local or foreign 
governmental entity, including another component of the 
Department, or discloses to such entity information from any 
searched device.
    Electronic Visa Update System [EVUS].--EVUS allows certain 
non-immigrant visa holders to provide updated biographic and 
travel-related information through a public website, enabling 
CBP to facilitate admissibility determinations after issuance 
of a visa but before passengers initiate travel to the United 
States. The Committee has encouraged CBP to work with relevant 
authorizing committees and reiterates its position that non-
immigrant visa holders who benefit from this program, not U.S. 
taxpayers, should pay for the operation and maintenance of 
EVUS; and recommends a decrease of $27,661,000, as requested.

              TRADE AND TRAVEL OPERATIONS--OFFICE OF TRADE

    The Committee recommends $293,301,000 for the Office of 
Trade, which is $4,117,000 below the budget request amount and 
$32,906,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level.
    Targeted Enforcement Activities.--The Committee recommends 
the $24,300,000 funding increase requested for the Intelligent 
Enforcement program, including resources for iPredict. The 
Committee supports this effort to protect U.S. economic 
viability and subvert trade networks that finance illicit 
activity for better data systems and processes for network 
analytics and to enhance targeting. Within this amount, 
$12,000,000 is recommended to advance beyond the pilot state of 
the successful cognitive analytics trade targeting pilot. 
Additionally, these funds shall be used to better equip CBP's 
Office of Trade to enforce antidumping and countervailing 
duties [AD/CVD] collections and enforcement gaps, improve 
Importer of Record oversight, combat forced labor, and foster 
an environment that is conducive to U.S. innovation through the 
enforcement of intellectual property rights. Within 90 days of 
the date of enactment of this act and quarterly thereafter, CBP 
shall provide an update on the implementation of this effort to 
the Committee. The Committee recommends an additional 
$4,000,000 to add CBP trade personnel required to establish 
centers that will enhance the flows of legal commerce along the 
northern and southern borders. The establishment of such 
centers will support U.S. businesses, maximize the benefits of 
trade agreements, and serve as clearinghouses of specialized 
trade information at locations away from the POEs by enabling 
CBP officers and trade specialists at the POEs to focus solely 
on the movement of cargo. These centers will also provide 
advance rulings on cargo, supporting the proper classification 
of merchandise prior to entry and allowing for fluid cargo 
movement through POEs upon arrival.
    Antidumping and Countervailing Duties.--The Committee 
directs CBP to continue reporting on AD/CVD, as required in 
Senate Report 114-264 and as expanded in Senate Report 115-283. 
The Committee recognizes that CBP ranks second among Federal 
agencies with regard to revenue collection, and the Committee 
is concerned about uncollected antidumping duties. The 
Committee also recognizes that the United States is the only 
major user of AD/CVD that processes payments in a retrospective 
manner. The Committee understands GAO intends to provide a 
briefing on its findings regarding the advantages and 
disadvantages of the retrospective duty system compared to the 
prospective duty system. Such briefing shall be provided to the 
Committee at the earliest possible date as required by the 
Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying Division A of the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-6).
    Honey Fraud.--The Committee is greatly concerned with 
continuing evidence that imported raw honey is often marked 
with an inaccurate country of origin in order to avoid U.S. 
antidumping duties and may be adulterated with substances that 
could undermine the product's consumer reputation. Chinese 
honey has been known to be unfairly traded and is subject to 
substantial U.S. duties to create a level playing field for 
American honey producers in the past two decades. To avoid 
these duties, Chinese exporters often ship Chinese honey to the 
U.S. marked as a product of third countries. In 2013, a 
comprehensive investigation led by the Department of Justice 
and ICE identified more than $80,000,000 in trade fraud on 
antidumping duties through the aforementioned scheme. The 
investigation also identified instances of adulteration. 
Unfortunately, there is significant evidence from subsequent 
CBP seizures and other sources indicating that this is a 
continuing problem. The Committee provides $1,500,000 above the 
requested amount and directs CBP to initiate comprehensive 
testing of imported honey to verify the country of origin and 
detect adulteration. Within 120 days of the date of enactment 
of this act, CBP shall brief the Committee on options to use 
predictive analytics to identify likely violators. The 
Committee further directs CBP to use the best technology 
available to conduct these tests and to take all necessary 
actions, including developing a comparison database, and to 
support the purchase and use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 
testing for this task. The Committee directs that CBP, after 
consultation with domestic honey producers, report to the 
Committee within 270 days of the date of enactment of this act 
on a strategy for increasing targeted testing to reduce the 
quantity of honey fraudulently imported into the United States. 
Within 545 days of the date of enactment of this act, CBP shall 
provide the Committee with a report on the results of honey 
import testing. A public version of both reports should also be 
released and posted on the public website.
    Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System.--The 
Committee recognizes the difficulty of implementing immediate 
import tariffs on a wide range of steel and aluminum products 
from numerous countries and understands that physical 
inspections are the only truly effective means of preventing 
certain fraudulent activities, such as festooning shipments 
with falsified Harmonized Tariff Schedule [HTS] codes. 
Misclassifying the description and HTS code allows smugglers to 
import goods subject to AD/CVD without paying the applicable 
duties. As such, verifying these codes to their respective 
products is essential to combatting trade fraud and duty 
evasion. The Committee directs CBP to brief the Committee 
quarterly on the misclassification of trade goods and changing 
of HTS codes; trade evasion trends, including efforts related 
to the circumvention of trade remedies in sections 201, 232, 
and 301 of Public Law 93-618; updates on trade special 
operations focused on trade fraud and illicit transactions 
(e.g. led by the Office of Trade's National Threat Analysis 
Centers and OFO's Centers of Excellence and Expertise); updates 
on the Enforce and Protect Act Program; and the Trade 
Intelligence Division's efforts to combat illicit trade 
transactions. The quarterly briefing shall also describe 
whether regulatory or legislative changes are necessary to 
prevent the abusive misclassification of imported goods.
    Combatting Transshipment.--The Committee remains aware of 
continued efforts by some foreign traders to circumvent U.S. 
trade laws and evade duty payments by transshipping products 
through third party countries. The Committee continues to 
direct CBP to modify targeting criteria and make additional 
changes necessary to provide CBP with the administrative 
flexibility required to identify transshipped products.
    Shrimp Safety.--The Committee directs CBP to continue 
coordinating with the FDA and the Commercial Targeting and 
Analysis Center to improve the safety of shrimp imports into 
the U.S. by enhancing shrimp-related targeting and inspection 
processes. The Committee directs CBP to brief the Committee 
semiannually on the outcomes of these efforts.
    Automated Commercial Environment [ACE].--The Committee 
encourages CBP to continue its engagement with ACE stakeholders 
in the prioritization of future ACE enhancements and work with 
participating International Trade Data System [ITDS] agencies 
on prioritizing and implementing a sustainable cost-sharing 
process for ITDS enhancements, operations, and maintenance 
costs to ACE.
    The Committee is concerned that the intent of Congress 
under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Act [CDSOA] is being 
diluted by CBP's requests that domestic industries that 
received prior, incorrect payments of collected duties under 
CDSOA return those payments due to CBP's various collections 
litigation setbacks, settlements, or administrative errors. As 
most of these payments were made several years ago and have 
been reinvested by the recipients as CDSOA intended, the 
Committee views this policy as counter to the clear intent of 
the statute. By recouping revenue paid to domestic companies, 
and assessing interest charges, CBP is counteracting the intent 
to allow industries the opportunity to rehire and reinvest. The 
Committee instructs CBP to determine the impact of this 
practice on U.S. producers and to notify the Committee prior to 
recouping such payments or reducing future payments.

                         INTEGRATED OPERATIONS

    Air and Marine Operations [AMO].--AMO plays a critical role 
in detecting, interdicting, and preventing acts of terrorism 
and the unlawful movement of people, illegal drugs, and other 
contraband across the borders of the United States. AMO 
performs a range of aviation and maritime contingency 
operations and national tasking missions, including disaster 
relief, continuity of operations, humanitarian activities, 
search and rescue, and support for National Special Security 
Events. The Committee recommends additional resources to 
address fuel and maintenance shortfalls impacting the 
availability of AMO aircraft and watercraft.
    Unmanned Aerial Systems [UAS].--The Committee is concerned 
that CBP lacks sufficient capacity to provide airborne border 
surveillance and that CBP's existing fleet of unmanned aircraft 
remains under-utilized, due to a lack of qualified pilots. The 
Committee includes $15,000,000 above the requested amount to 
increase MQ-9 flight hours through additional pilot training, 
use of contracted aircraft, and use of contracted pilots as 
appropriate. The Committee further directs CBP to report on any 
legal considerations associated with the use of contractors to 
conduct border surveillance missions on behalf of CBP within 90 
days of the date of enactment of this act.

                          ENTERPRISE SERVICES

    Information Technology Enhancements.--The Committee 
recommends $10,000,000 for High Risk Internal Cyber Remediation 
and $7,200,000 to enhance CBP's Overtime Scheduling System 
[COSS]. The Committee expects that with the investment in COSS, 
CBP officers currently assigned to manually performing 
scheduling activities will be redirected to frontline 
operations at POEs.
    Mission Support Contracting.--The Committee notes 
substantial growth in Enterprise Services funding levels and 
directs CBP to better rationalize its use of support contracts. 
CBP has proven unable to develop a comprehensive inventory of 
all Enterprise Services contracts and provide this inventory to 
the Committee. To promote more efficient and effective use of 
these resources, CBP shall apply advanced analytics and machine 
learning tools to develop an inventory and identify 
opportunities to save costs with a plan to reduce current 
duplication and consolidate to leverage economies of scale. The 
recommendation includes $45,000,000 in assumed efficiencies 
associated with Enterprise Services contract savings.

    Physical Barriers and Tactical Infrastructure.--Border 
security is of critical importance to the national security of 
the United States, and the Committee is committed to providing 
adequate funding to properly secure U.S. borders. On January 
25, 2019, the President directed the Department to develop 
long-term requirements to improve border security, including 
through the construction of physical barriers along parts of 
the southern border, and to prepare corresponding budget 
requests. The recommendation includes $5,000,000,000 for 
additional new miles of pedestrian fencing. As a physical 
barrier is but one component of a border security system, the 
Committee believes it is imperative to integrate appropriate 
sensor technology, including fiber optics and camera systems, 
with the barrier system.
    The Department has produced two Border Security Improvement 
Plans detailing the planning and costs associated with securing 
the southwest border. Within 120 days of the date of enactment 
of this act, the Department shall provide to the Committee a 
plan for the southwest border that details the strategy to 
secure each of the 1,954 miles of the southwest border. This 
plan shall include: types of physical barriers, fixed towers, 
levees, technologies, or other mobile or static tools; CBP 
personnel; and Air and Marine assets to provide a holistic and 
adequate level of security for each mile, as determined by the 
Department; the prioritization of implementing the plan for 
each section of the border; and the methods used to respond to 
each of these requirements.
    The Committee understands that CBP has conducted several 
meetings with local elected officials in the cities of Roma, 
Escobares, Rio Grande City, La Grulla, and the census 
designated place of Salineno, Texas regarding the alignment and 
design of physical barriers pursuant to section 232 of the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019. Understanding that CBP 
is in the process of evaluating the proposed alignments for 
each city and census designated place to ensure they meet the 
operational requirements of the USBP and the Government's 
obligations under the international boundary treaty with 
Mexico, the Committee looks forward to being briefed on the 
results at the conclusion of the consultations.
    Border Security Technology.--The recommendation includes 
$98,782,000 for continued funding for border security 
technology to increase situational awareness along the northern 
and southern borders. The Committee understands that border 
conditions vary significantly due to geographical differences 
and directs CBP to reallocate funding as appropriate to ensure 
that the best equipment is deployed at the locations where 
technology will have the greatest impact on CBP's ability to 
identify and interdict illicit activity.
    The Committee notes efforts to expand the innovative tower 
technology platform currently deployed in the San Diego sector 
that combines smart object detection sensors with machine 
learning and computer vision capabilities. This innovative 
tower technology improves the assessment and classification of 
perimeter threats along the border, enabling better use and 
deployment of CBP resources without additional manpower. The 
Committee recommends CBP continue to pursue innovative and 
proven border technology for additional systems along the 
southern, northern, and maritime borders.
    The Committee is aware of the benefits resulting from the 
successful deployment of the Mobile Surveillance Capability 
[MSC] by CBP. Given the success of this program, the Committee 
supports procurement of the next generation of mobile 
surveillance, the Lightweight Vehicle Surveillance System 
[LVSS]. These systems will allow CBP personnel to rapidly 
deploy into high threat areas and provide real-time data to 
agents in the field for improved safety, coordination, and 
collaboration. The Committee recommends not less than 
$15,000,000 above the request to procure approximately 18 LVSS 
systems for rapid deployment. Additionally, these funds are 
provided for integrating an UAS into seven LVSS's to allow for 
the distribution of real-time data to agents in the field, as 
well as for expanding the surveillance capability of the 
platform over the next 2 years. The recommendation includes 
funding to conduct full integration of an appropriate number of 
LVSS's with UAS.
    Cross Border Tunnel Threat [CBTT].--The Committee 
understands that considerable unobligated balances remain for 
the CBTT program and directs CBP to use at least $2,000,000 of 
these balances in fiscal year 2020 to continue to collaborate 
with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development 
Center on this program, including drilling and excavation in 
search of cross-border tunnels, acquiring additional safety 
equipment and technologies for Counter Tunnel Operations 
Personnel, and continue cross-border tunnel remediation 
efforts.
    Non-Intrusive Inspection.--The Committee provided 
$570,000,000 in fiscal year 2019 for the acquisition and 
deployment of NII equipment at POEs. The Committee is aware 
that there is multi-lane NII technology capable of scanning 100 
percent of vehicles at land POEs on the southwest border. 
Within 90 days of the date of enactment of this act, CBP shall 
provide a briefing to the Committee on an acquisition and 
deployment plan for fiscal year 2019 funds, including a 
schedule to ultimately achieve 100 percent NII coverage across 
inspection operations in pre-primary lanes along the southwest 
border.
    The Committee further directs CBP to brief the Committee on 
a quarterly basis on the obligation of funds for NII 
acquisition in pursuit of 100 percent NII screening in pre-
primary lanes along the southwest border and to notify the 
Committee of any impacts on secondary screening as a result of 
the expansion of pre-primary efforts. The Committee seeks to 
ensure CBP dedicates the necessary resources to procuring 
technologies, including NII and passive radiation scanning and 
X-ray/Gamma-ray imaging of cargo and conveyances, that detect, 
interdict, and deter the flow of illicit drugs, including 
fentanyl, carfentanil, and heroin. The dramatic influx of 
fentanyl into the United States, including through the mail, is 
contributing substantially to the opioid epidemic. The 
Committee supports CBP's continued efforts to combat this 
influx through the acquisition of portable chemical screening 
capabilities necessary to determine the presence of fentanyl 
and other narcotics, including lab equipment, decontamination 
solutions, personal protective equipment, and other 
consumables, and increasing the number of scientists at POEs 
and consignment facilities to rapidly interpret screening test 
results.
    Aircraft Recapitalization.--The Committee understands that 
CBP is developing documentation supporting the recapitalization 
of the light enforcement helicopter fleet and notes that the 
procurement of a common airframe would allow CBP to avoid 
duplicating significant costs associated with training, 
tooling, publications, and non-recurring costs for the 
development of new supplemental type certificates for the 
unique CBP mission. The Committee recognizes the enhanced 
safety, maintenance, training, and other cost saving 
efficiencies of a standardized fleet and recommends $32,500,000 
above the requested amount to further standardize the CBP Light 
Enforcement Helicopter [LEH] Fleet.
    CBP continues to rely on Multi-Role Enforcement Aircraft 
[MEA] to provide maritime and border surveillance in 
environments where terrain, weather, and distance are 
significant obstacles to border security operations. As of 
fiscal year 2019, CBP possesses the funds for a total of 23 
MEAs as it continues to secure an operational requirement of 38 
aircraft. The Committee notes that CBP's 17th MEA was delivered 
in 2019 and strongly supports CBP's intended effort to procure 
six aircraft optimized for land interdiction and three aircraft 
for law enforcement technical collection. The Committee directs 
CBP to ensure the next six MEA air-to-ground configured 
aircraft procured are equipped with an appropriate air-to-
ground radar. The Committee recommends $92,800,000 for 
procuring three additional MEA aircraft, including one aircraft 
that is configured for land interdiction, one Vehicle Dismount 
and Exploitation Radar [VADER], and integration costs.
    The Committee further recognizes the importance of 
converting Blackhawk helicopters from an HH-60L configuration 
to UH-60L configuration and recommends the requested amount of 
$46,525,000 for these conversions. The Committee also 
recommends the requested amount of $7,400,000 for airframes and 
sensors end items.
    Coastal Interceptor Vessel [CIV].--Over the past decade, 
AMO vessels' increased maintenance requirements have strained 
resources and the personnel tasked with maintaining border 
security. The new CIV will incorporate technological advances 
in hull design, safety equipment, and electronics packages to 
enhance operational effectiveness, allowing agents to operate 
the CIV in coastal waters to combat maritime smuggling and 
defend the waterways along our Nation's borders from acts of 
terrorism. The Committee recommends the requested amount of 
$14,830,000 to continue this program.
    Border Patrol and OFO Facilities.--The recommendation 
includes the requested amount of $71,229,000 for the 
construction and substantial upgrades to USBP facilities and 
$22,364,000 for other OFO facilities. The Committee is aware of 
significant operational and infrastructure deficiencies along 
the Nation's northern border. While several northern Border 
Patrol stations were recently constructed using funding 
provided in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public 
Law 111-5), legacy Border Patrol stations and other facilities 
are currently too small to meet mission requirements and are 
subject to a variety of dangerous or unhealthy conditions. The 
Committee is aware that the Houlton Border Patrol Station 
currently houses 40 agents, despite originally being 
constructed for nine, and that the facility lacks sufficient 
holding space for aliens and suffers from significant 
structural problems resulting in regular flooding. The 
Committee believes CBP must continue to ensure the 
effectiveness of operations and initiatives along our northern 
border as well. Accordingly, the Committee directs CBP to 
prioritize the construction and facility improvement needs 
along the northern border to ensure facilities are safe and 
meet operational requirements.
    The Committee is aware CBP continues to face a growing 
backlog of construction projects and necessary capital 
improvements at POEs across the country. One such project is 
the construction of a customs plaza at the Blue Water Bridge in 
Port Huron, Michigan. The Blue Water Bridge is the third 
busiest land crossing in the U.S. in terms of value of 
shipments. Once fully operational, this improved border 
crossing will have a significant economic impact for Michigan 
and states across the country. Focused investment in modern 
infrastructure and technology at our busiest land POEs, 
including the Blue Water Bridge, is essential to our economic 
well-being and national security.
    Revenue Modernization.--The recommendation includes 
$15,673,000 for revenue modernization activities. Within 120 
days of the date of enactment of this act, CBP shall provide 
the Committee with estimated costs and a timeline for the 
elimination of cash transactions at POEs.

                U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] is the 
principal investigative agency within the Department of 
Homeland Security. ICE is responsible for securing the Nation's 
borders, enforcing U.S. immigration laws, and safeguarding 
cyberspace through the enforcement of Federal laws that govern 
trade and travel, including but not limited to narcotics 
enforcement, financial crimes, child exploitation, and human 
smuggling.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends total appropriations of 
$8,367,511,000 for ICE, which is $413,684,000 below the budget 
request amount and $779,799,000 above the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level. This amount is in addition to estimated fee 
collections of $319,800,000.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 enacted and 
fiscal year 2020 budget request levels:

Appropriations, 2019....................................  $7,542,153,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................   8,702,425,000
Committee recommendation................................   8,338,741,000

    The ICE Operations and Support [O&S] appropriation provides 
for the enforcement of immigration and customs laws, related 
intelligence activities, and the detention and removal of 
illicit people and goods. 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 inspection 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, schools, and 
universities to certify, monitor, and audit participating 
exchange programs.
    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 that act to support the 
cost of the detention of aliens.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $8,338,741,000 for O&S, which is 
$363,684,000 below the budget request amount and $796,588,000 
above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The recommendation 
includes funding levels needed to continue services provided 
for in fiscal year 2019 and makes necessary adjustments to 
salaries and other expenses required to comport with the 
routine evolution of ongoing operations.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 enacted and

    Immigration Data Improvements.--The Committee commends ICE 
for its efforts to continue to develop and execute an 
enterprise data management strategy in accordance with the 
Comprehensive Plan for Immigration Data Improvements and 
recommends $6,000,000 to continue these activities. The 
Committee supports ICE's data governance pilot, which includes 
participants from multiple Enforcement and Removal Operations 
[ERO] program offices, ICE's Office of the Chief Information 
Officer, the Department's Office of Immigration Statistics, 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS], and USBP. 
The Committee encourages ICE to make useful, incremental system 
improvements rather than adopting risky, costly, complex, and 
enterprise-wide solutions. As ICE improves data collection, the 
Committee directs ICE to collect data on enforcement activities 
both along the borders and in the interior of the U.S. in an 
effort to improve operational transparency and resource 
allocation decisions.

                    HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS

    The Committee recommends $2,036,288,000 for Homeland 
Security Investigations [HSI], which is $353,085,000 above the 
budget request amount and $120,075,000 above the fiscal year 
2019 enacted level. ICE is directed to sustain enhancements for 
programs of ongoing congressional interest, as described in the 
Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-6).
    Opioid Investigations.--HSI performs an essential role in 
detecting, investigating, and preventing the sale and 
distribution of opioids via the Internet, which is the key 
domain facilitating the trafficking of the most potent opioids, 
including fentanyl. The Committee took an important step 
towards enhancing HSI opioid enforcement activities in fiscal 
year 2019 by providing for over 340 new personnel, including 
investigators, intelligence analysts, and necessary support 
staff for this purpose. The Committee recommends $32,959,000 
above the budget request to fully annualize the appropriation 
for this critical counter-opioid initiative. With these new 
investigators and analysts, HSI has enhanced its ability to 
uncover the identities of entire supply chains from 
manufacturer to distributor, and, in many cases, to the end 
user. The Committee recognizes that HSI is leading cyber 
investigations to uncover online marketplaces, including those 
on the ``dark web,'' that facilitate the purchase and illicit 
shipment of opioids to the United States. HSI also leverages 
its many Border Enforcement Security Taskforces [BESTs] as the 
primary platforms to investigate international opioid and 
methamphetamine manufacturing, smuggling, and distribution. 
BESTs are HSI-led multi-agency task forces that exploit the 
various authorities of their respective members to investigate 
and interdict transnational criminal organizations at and near 
the border.
    Cyber Crime Investigative Capabilities and Staff 
Development.--The Committee understands the importance of 
enhancing HSI's and its partners' capacity to investigate 
opioid-related criminal activity on the Internet to combat 
opioids by hiring additional data scientists, cyber 
investigators, and intelligence research specialists; to train 
State and local law enforcement personnel in opioid cyber 
investigations; and to establish educational capacity in key 
regions. The Committee recommends $3,000,000 above the request 
for HSI to continue a partnership with a university co-located 
with a State law enforcement agency serving in an area 
disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis. The purpose 
of this partnership remains to cultivate expertise in ``dark 
web'' investigative capabilities, including training and 
technology assessment, as well as to serve as a co-op program 
for students to build investigative research skills and 
technical expertise on targeting the ``dark web'' opioid 
trafficking networks. Graduates from the program could 
transition to HSI or other law enforcement agencies that are 
working to combat opioid trafficking. Further, the Committee 
directs HSI to work with the university or educational 
institution to develop training for State and local law 
enforcement personnel on ``dark web'' opioid investigative 
tactics and strategies to be used in conjunction with ICE 
cybercrime centers. HSI shall brief the Committee not later 
than 120 days after the date of enactment of this act on these 
activities.
    Child Exploitation Investments.--The recommendation 
continues enhancements provided in fiscal year 2019, including 
$5,000,000 for the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit at 
the Cyber Crimes Center.
    International Investigations and Visa Security Program.--
The recommendation annualizes growth in overseas operations 
funded in fiscal year 2019 because the Committee understands 
the benefits of interrupting the illicit movement of people and 
goods prior to their arrival in the United States. The 
Committee looks forward to reviewing HSI's modeling of the 
costs and benefits of adding or redeploying staff and directs 
HSI to ensure staff distribution is right-sized by workload and 
by location.
    International Megan's Law.--The recommendation includes the 
$5,000,000 enhancement provided in fiscal year 2019 to continue 
ICE's implementation of International Megan's Law. In fiscal 
year 2017, a total of 2,060 Angel Watch referrals were sent to 
more than 80 countries as a preemptive notification to foreign 
law enforcement in the fight to stop child sex tourism. These 
referrals resulted in 1,276 denials of entry to residents of 
these countries. For fiscal year 2019, the Angel Watch Center 
is on pace to send approximately 3,200 referrals to more than 
100 countries with approximately 1,600 denials of entry and to 
refer over 1,000 registered child sex offenders to the 
Department of State.
    Human Exploitation Rescue Operative.--The recommendation 
includes $9,302,000 to fully annualize the appropriation for 
Human Exploitation Rescue Operative [HERO] Child-Rescue Corps, 
a partnership among HSI, U.S. Special Operations Command, and 
the National Association to Protect Children. The Committee 
directs ICE to sustain prior year enhancements for dedicated 
personnel and funding for the HERO program and related computer 
forensic analyst positions focused on child exploitation 
investigations. In addition, at a minimum, ICE should continue 
to train at least one class of HEROs annually through the 
program and should employ HERO graduates at ICE or help place 
them with other agencies or organizations with related missions 
as deemed appropriate by ICE. The Committee continues to 
support the concept of the paid HERO apprenticeship and directs 
ICE to brief the Committee not later than 180 days after the 
date of enactment of this act on the status of the program.
    Intellectual Property Rights [IPR] Enforcement.--The 
recommendation includes $15,000,000 for intellectual property 
enforcement through the work of HSI and the National IPR 
Center. ICE shall also ensure that the National IPR Center is 
adequately staffed with both ICE and interagency staff in order 
to facilitate continued enforcement actions against theft, 
particularly via the Internet, of U.S. intellectual property. 
Based on a new wave of digital copyright piracy involving 
devices and software that connect consumers' televisions 
directly to illicit websites, the Committee directs ICE to 
increase investigation and enforcement to thwart illegal 
streaming that involves media boxes and televisions.
    Forced Child Labor.--The recommendation includes not less 
than $15,770,000 for investigations and other activities 
related to forced labor law violations, to include forced child 
labor. ICE shall submit to the Committee an annual report on 
the expenditures and performance metrics associated with forced 
labor law enforcement activities.
    Investigative Support Staff.--The Committee is concerned 
that HSI could lack adequate staff to support the increased 
investigation workload likely to come from significant prior 
year enhancements to NII along the border. The Committee is 
aware that, as the investigative arm of the Department, HSI 
workload may increase as new NII comes online and new 
investigations are generated as higher levels of contraband are 
detected at the border. The Committee directs ICE to brief the 
Committee not later than 90 days of the date of enactment of 
this act on the number of HSI personnel required to support NII 
investments made in fiscal year 2019 appropriations.
    Human Rights Violators.--There are reports that ICE has 
devoted insufficient resources to hold suspected foreign human 
rights violators accountable. The Committee directs ICE to 
continue its efforts to investigate, remove, and prosecute 
individuals who have committed human rights abuses, including 
persecution, genocide, severe violations of religious freedom, 
torture, extrajudicial killing, use or recruitment of child 
soldiers, crimes against humanity, or war crimes. For this 
purpose, the recommendation continues the fiscal year 2019 
funding of $5,300,000 for the Office of the Principle Legal 
Advisor's Human Rights Law Section and Human Rights Violators 
and War Crimes Unit and for their training, transportation, and 
other related activities.
    Gulf Coast Coordination.--The Committee is aware of the 
ongoing efforts to develop ICE's Tactical Intelligence Center 
[TIC] into a Regional Intelligence Integration Center that 
includes other Federal and non-Federal entities in the region. 
Additional collection, reporting, and dissemination capacity at 
this location will interrupt the illicit movement of people and 
goods into the United States through the Gulf of Mexico region, 
and the Committee directs the Department to report on efforts 
to enhance the TIC's capacity within 90 days of the date of 
enactment of this act.
    Counter-Proliferation Investigations Center.--The Committee 
provides $12,000,000 for this enhanced capability. Homeland 
Security Investigations' [HSI], Counter-Proliferation 
Investigations [CPI] program prevents sensitive U.S. 
technologies and weapons from reaching terrorists, criminal 
organizations, and foreign adversaries. HSI leads the United 
States enforcement efforts in this area and maintains the 
broadest investigative and enforcement authorities of any 
Federal law enforcement agencies to combat illegal export and 
proliferation activities. Not later than 120 days after 
enactment of the act, the Department shall brief the Committee 
on these activities.

                   ENFORCEMENT AND REMOVAL OPERATIONS

    Efficiency and Coordination.--The Committee understands 
that significant detention bed space is required for the 
processing, adjudication, and removal of aliens but is 
concerned that Enforcement and Removal Operations [ERO] and its 
partners along the immigration enforcement continuum have done 
little to improve throughput, which could reduce the average 
length of stay of detainees and reduce detention capacity 
requirements. Recent changes to immigration enforcement 
policies will likely modify ICE's detention space requirements, 
but it is unclear how such changes were contemplated with 
interagency partners prior to making such changes. The 
Committee directs ICE to work with Federal partners, including 
those within the Department of Justice and the Department of 
Health and Human Services, to ensure that aliens are treated 
fairly while expeditiously moving through the immigration 
enforcement process; and to jointly brief the Committee 
quarterly on process improvements and coordination efforts.
    Training.--The Committee directs ICE to provide its 
officers with guidance and training for engaging with victims 
of crime and witnesses of crime and to clarify policy guidance 
on enforcement actions in or near sensitive locations, 
including courthouses, in order to minimize any effect that 
immigration enforcement may have on the willingness and ability 
of victims and witnesses to pursue justice. The Committee 
directs ICE not later than 180 days after the date of enactment 
of this act to report on steps taken to minimize the effect 
immigration enforcement activity has on victims of crime and 
witnesses of crime and to provide monthly notifications to the 
Committee on enforcement actions that take place in or near 
sensitive locations, including courthouses.
    Custody Operations.--The recommendation includes 
$3,458,774,000 for Custody Operations, which is the level 
required to maintain ICE's fiscal year 2019 funded average 
daily population [ADP] throughout fiscal year 2020. The 
Committee notes ICE's progress in developing and refining its 
ADP forecast model. The model analyzes time series data from 
which it extracts meaningful patterns, including moving 
averages, seasonality, and trends. It also uses patterns that 
it aggregates into a final daily population to forecast the 
detained population derived from all major CBP and ICE 
arresting programs. Should the ADP level included in the fiscal 
year 2021 budget request deviate from the level suggested by 
the forecast model, ICE shall provide the Committee with a 
detailed explanation and justification for the difference.
    The Committee notes that on April 6, 2019, the Department 
of Justice announced a change in policy relative to the 
implementation of section 1325 of title 8, United States Code 
that changed presumptive charges against those who are caught 
crossing U.S. borders between POEs from administrative to 
criminal. This change in policy will cause changes to 
requirements for detention across the Federal Government, 
including for ICE, the Department of Justice, and the 
Department of Health and Human Services. To date, ICE has not 
responded to the Committee's requests for a detailed analysis 
of how this policy, which was announced after the submission of 
the budget request, will change the detention requirements 
outlined in that request. Absent updated information, the 
Committee is unable to make a recommendation for detention 
capacity that incorporates the most recent and relevant 
analysis.
    The Committee expects that funding made available to ICE 
shall be used to maintain the number of detention beds needed 
to detain those individuals who are considered a flight risk or 
danger to the community, based on an individualized assessment 
which fully considers less-costly custody alternatives. ICE is 
directed to continue to evaluate the efficacy of the use of 
alternatives to detention as a means to reducing costs and 
better managing resources. The Committee stresses the 
importance of fiscal discipline and ensuring there is 
sufficient transparency in the way ICE obligates and expends 
its appropriations. ICE must operate within the funding levels 
provided by the Congress. The Committee notes that ICE is 
currently well above the ADP funded in fiscal year 2019 and was 
above the ADP level at the time that bill was enacted. While 
operating requirements can certainly change, it is clear that 
ICE does not view as binding the funding levels provided in 
law. The Committee worked diligently in preparing the fiscal 
year 2019 appropriation to provide ICE with a significant 
increase over fiscal year 2018 just to maintain its current 
level of services, yet ICE continues to spend at an 
unsustainable rate. In light of the Committee's persistent and 
growing concerns about ICE's inability to manage detention 
resources within the appropriations made by law, the Committee 
strongly discourages transfer or reprogramming resources to 
cover ICE's excesses. Notifications of proposed transfers or 
reprogramming shall be accompanied by transparent and publicly-
available evidence that the need for contingency funds results 
from circumstances, like a presidentially-declared immigration 
emergency, that are truly beyond ICE's control. The Committee 
will continue to evaluate whether ICE is prudently using the 
authorities enabled under section 503 of this act. The 
Committee directs ICE to continue the policy of fully 
reimbursing the costs and expenses associated with agreements 
entered into with other entities, including Federal agencies, 
to house ICE detainees.
    Detention Standards.--The Committee reiterates direction 
provided in the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 (Public Law 115-31) 
regarding detention standards and understands that ICE intends 
to increase the percentage of detainees held in facilities 
meeting the most recent Performance Based National Detention 
Standards [PBNDS] and requirements under the Prison Rape 
Elimination Act of 2003 [PREA] (Public Law 108-79). The 
Committee directs ICE to develop a timeline detailing steps the 
agency will take to recruit additional contracting personnel 
required for negotiating detention contracts and to brief the 
Committee on its plan not later than 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act.
    The Committee further directs ICE to post on its website 
within 60 days of the date of enactment of this act a schedule 
for achieving 100 percent compliance with PREA requirements and 
PBNDS 2011, as revised in 2016 and which were in effect on 
January 1, 2017, for all detainees. The Committee further 
directs ICE to post on its website within 60 days of the date 
of enactment of this act the results of completed PREA audits, 
an assessment of whether the standards are effective in 
protecting vulnerable populations, and all reports to the 
Committee required under the Joint Explanatory Statement 
accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, 
regarding contracting and detention standards. The report shall 
also identify the resource requirements needed to achieve PREA 
compliance for the facilities that are currently not PREA 
compliant but have PBNDS 2011, Standard 2.11, or PBNDS 2008 
protections.
    Reporting Requirements.--ICE is directed to make public all 
final detention facility inspection reports within 60 days of 
inspection; complete and make public an initial report 
regarding any in-custody death within 30 days of such death, 
with subsequent reporting to be completed and released within 
60 days of the initial report unless additional time is 
required for redacting personally identifiable information; 
make public a full list, updated monthly, of all facilities in 
use for detention of adults or children, including the average 
daily population, the type of contract, the governing detention 
standards, and the complement of on-board medical and mental 
health personnel; ensure that non-governmental organizations 
are provided with independent and timely access to all 
facilities for the purpose of providing representation, legal 
education, and programming, and for purposes of monitoring and 
visitation; and update detainee location information in the ICE 
Detainee Online Locator system within 48 hours of detention and 
24 hours of completion of any transfer.
    Pregnant Women.--The Committee notes that ICE has ended the 
presumption of release, absent extraordinary circumstances, for 
pregnant women apprehended by or transferred to ICE. The 
Committee directs ICE to conduct a weekly review of all 
pregnant and postpartum women who remain in detention. 
Additionally, the Committee directs ICE to provide semiannual 
reports on the total number of pregnant women in ICE custody, 
including detailed justification of the circumstances 
warranting each pregnant detainee's continued detention and the 
length of her detention. These anonymized reports should be 
made publicly available on the ICE website.
    Cost of Providing Healthcare to Immigrants in Detention.--
Recognizing the increasing cost of providing healthcare in 
general, the Committee directs ICE to provide an annual report 
on the cost of administering healthcare in the detention 
system. The report shall include the number of instances that 
detainees were transported to hospitals, emergency rooms, or 
other healthcare facilities and shall note instances of serious 
medical or mental health conditions, pregnancy, or disability. 
Further, the report shall detail the number and type of 
position of medical and mental health staff at each ICE 
detention facility and note any position that has been vacant 
for 30 or more days.
    Deportation of Parents of U.S. Citizen Children.--The 
Committee continues its requirement that the Department submit 
data on the deportation of parents of U.S. citizen children 
semiannually, as in prior years.
    Mobile Criminal Alien Teams.--The Committee directs ICE to 
continue operating Mobile Criminal Alien Teams and to brief the 
Committee not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act if additional such teams are required to identify and 
remove violent criminal aliens.
    Visa Overstay Enforcement.--The Committee directs ICE to 
continue to direct $10,000,000 to investigative and support 
activities required to identify and remove aliens who have 
overstayed their visas and to brief the Committee semiannually 
on the results of these efforts.
    Law Enforcement Support Center.--The recommendation 
includes $34,500,000 to support an authorized level of 248 
full-time law enforcement specialists and officers at the Law 
Enforcement Support Center [LESC], which serves a critical 
function in the Federal Government's efforts to identify and 
locate undocumented immigrants with serious felony records. In 
order to promote efficiency, the Committee directs ICE to take 
steps to ensure that current operations performed by the LESC 
remain centralized at the LESC facility in Williston, Vermont 
and that these operations are not unnecessarily duplicated 
elsewhere. The Committee looks forward to receiving immediately 
the report required by the Joint Explanatory Statement 
accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 
regarding LESC funding, operations, and staffing. The 
Department is also directed to submit for Committee approval 
the reallocation of any resources currently intended for LESC 
operations in Vermont. It is expected that no such reallocation 
will be made without Committee concurrence.
    The Committee notes that, despite an increasing workload 
and the availability of recruitment and retention incentives, 
the LESC has not hired to authorized position levels. The 
Committee directs ICE to ensure that the LESC has the resources 
and approvals necessary to fully utilize its recruitment 
incentives program and to include details about this program in 
the spend plan it is required to provide to the Committee. The 
LESC is also encouraged to use hiring campaigns, education, and 
outreach, including coordination with nearby community, 
technical, and State colleges and universities. Further, the 
LESC is encouraged to utilize available direct hire authorities 
to accelerate the hiring of qualified applicants.
    Sex Offender Release Notifications.--The Committee 
understands that ICE is currently notifying law enforcement 
authorities and State regulatory organizations through the Sex 
Offender Registration and Notification Act (Public Law 109-248) 
exchange portal when ICE releases into their jurisdictions 
individuals who have a registration requirement. The Committee 
recommends $2,000,000 to continue to identify any potential 
information gaps within this system and to address these gaps 
in a manner that ensures that data on ICE detainees with sex or 
violent offender records are provided in real time to 
jurisdictions where such detainees will reside.
    Kiosks for Non-Detained Appearances.--The Committee is 
concerned about the size of ICE's non-detained docket and 
directs ICE to continue its program to enable certain aliens on 
the non-detained docket to report via self-service kiosks at 
ERO field offices. The recommendation includes $3,000,000 for 
this program and directs ICE to evaluate the potential of 
expanding these activities if it is found that the program 
reduces the time and resources that deportation officers devote 
to managing encounters and recurring check-ins with applicable 
aliens.
    Alternatives to Detention.--The recommendation includes 
$269,704,000 for Alternatives to Detention [ATD], and directs 
ICE to ensure they are used as effectively as possible. ICE 
shall brief the Committee on its discussions with the 
contractors handling the ATD--ISAP III contract about 
implementing a ``Know Your Rights'' [KYR] program for new 
participants. The briefing shall indicate whether these 
discussions determined whether a KYR program was deemed 
reasonable to be provided at the time of the initial full 
enrollment or orientation or as soon as reasonably possible 
after that time. ICE shall continue exploring the use of 
available ATD models on an ongoing basis, shall prioritize the 
use of such detention alternatives for immigrant children and 
their families, where appropriate, and shall seek the release 
of individuals and their family members who pass credible fear 
screening and do not present a public safety or flight risk.
    The ATD program shall evaluate the efficacy and cost-
benefit of continuing the type of case management services 
provided under the Family Case Management Pilot [FCMP]. Given 
the pilot's high compliance rates, the Committee believes 
exploring the potential benefits of a program similar to the 
FCMP pilot or an equivalent ATD program that facilitates access 
to social and legal services for enrollees. To promote 
transparency and further understanding of ATD, the Committee 
directs ICE to publish annually the following policies and data 
relating to ATD: guidance for referral, placement, escalation 
and de-escalation decisions; enrollment by Field Office; 
information on the length of enrollment broken down by type of 
ATD; and a breakdown of enrollment by type and point of 
apprehension.
    Within 60 days of the date of enactment of this act, the 
Secretary shall submit a report to the Committee providing 
analysis of each active program within the last 5 years under 
the ATD account. This report shall include compliance with 
court appearances, immigration appointments, and removal 
orders; cost per individual served; and response times to 
requests for legal counsel, family contact, and medical 
treatment, including mental health services.
    287(g) Agreements.--The Committee observes that OIG 
recommended ICE collect data on the race and ethnicity of 
individuals arrested or apprehended under the 287(g) program, 
but in 2010 ICE declined to accept this recommendation, 
claiming that the program does not raise concerns about racial 
profiling. The Committee directs ICE to publish applications 
for new or renewed 287(g) agreements on its website 8 weeks 
prior to entering into any such agreement. ICE shall ensure 
thorough vetting of 287(g) applicants in an effort to minimize 
detention conditions that do not fully comply with the PBNDS 
and PREA standards.
    Privacy Waivers.--The Committee recognizes that Federal 
agencies are prohibited from releasing information concerning 
an individual to a third party under the Privacy Act of 1974 
(Public Law 93-579). However, the Committee is concerned by 
reports that detainees, their attorneys, and their family 
members have faced difficulty receiving and submitting the ICE 
``Privacy Waiver Authorizing Disclosure to a Third Party'' 
form. Without this form, members of Congress cannot make 
successful inquiries in behalf of their constituents. The 
Committee advises ICE to provide every detainee, upon entering 
ICE custody, with a copy of the ``Privacy Waiver Authorizing 
Disclosure to a Third Party'' form in order to facilitate 
Congressional inquiries.
    OPLA.--The Committee includes $14,912,000 as requested for 
additional attorneys and legal support staff. This funding 
ensures sufficient attorneys are available to handle court 
proceeding levels.

    The recommendation supports information system enhancements 
across ICE, including the migration to the Consolidated ICE 
Financial Solution from the current proprietary financial 
system and improved efficiency for ICE and its customers. 
Additionally, ICE will invest in the Critical Foundational 
Infrastructure to perform a technical refresh of ICE mission 
critical and mission essential IT assets that reached the end 
of their useful life. The Committee recognizes that funding 
requested for some of these efforts could be obligated more 
slowly than was assumed in materials provided to the Committee 
in support of the budget request. The Committee directs ICE to 
provide a briefing on proposed PC&I spending plans not later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act.

                 Transportation Security Administration

    The Transportation Security Administration [TSA] is charged 
with ensuring security across U.S. transportation systems, 
including aviation, railways, highways, pipelines, and 
waterways; and safeguarding the freedom of movement of people 
and commerce.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends a gross discretionary total of 
$7,723,246,000 and a net of $4,893,246,000 for TSA.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $7,489,721,000 
for Operations and Support [O&S], which is $374,526,000 above 
the budget request amount and $79,642,000 below the fiscal year 
2019 enacted level. This amount is partially offset by 
$2,830,000,000 in estimated aviation security fee collections 
that are credited to this appropriation, as authorized, 
resulting in net discretionary appropriation of $4,659,721,000. 
Within the budget request, TSA included an unrealistic 
$550,000,000 proposal to increase passenger aviation fees that 
has not been authorized. This fee proposal was used to offset 
current TSA operations, as well as programmatic growth outside 
of TSA, and is not included in the recommendation.

recommendation as compared to the fiscal year enacted 2019 and 
fiscal year 2020 budget request levels:

                     AVIATION SCREENING OPERATIONS

    Screening Partnership Program [SPP].--The recommendation 
maintains necessary funds for security at airports where 
private screening contracts are in place. The Committee finds 
that small and rural airports play a critical role in the 
security of our National Airspace System as the first point of 
entry for millions of travelers every year. Therefore, the 
Committee encourages TSA to work with local airport authorities 
and stakeholders to ensure that appropriate security screening 
services are deployed to any public use airport with regularly 
scheduled commercial air service.
    The Committee acknowledges that the SPP provides TSA 
airports with an alternative to request private screening 
support instead of Federal screeners. Commensurate with the 
Committee's interest in this program, TSA shall notify the 
Committee within 10 days of any change to a private screening 
contract, including any new award under the SPP or any 
transition from privatized screening into Federal screening.
    Screener Personnel, Compensation, and Benefits.--The 
recommendation includes $77,000,000 above the budget request to 
fund an additional 1,090 front line screener personnel to 
continue exit lane staffing in accordance with section 603 of 
Public Law 114-74. The Committee supports and encourages TSA to 
continue efforts to develop and install appropriate exit-lane 
monitoring technology where feasible and appropriate. With 
regard to remodeling and modernization efforts undertaken by 
airports at existing exit lanes that TSA was responsible for 
monitoring on December 1, 2013, TSA shall continue to be 
responsible for monitoring those exit lanes after the 
remodeling or modernization efforts are completed.
    Airport Management.--The recommendation includes funding 
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 remains interested in TSA's work with all 
stakeholders, including general aviation stakeholders. The 
Committee supports TSA`s efforts to dedicate a full time 
general aviation representative as allowed by Public Law 115-
254 and recognizes that TSA's Industry Engagement Manager for 
General Aviation now serves as the single point of contact for 
the general aviation community. The Committee expects TSA to 
work with partner agencies for opportunities to improve the 
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport [DCA] Access Standard 
Security Program [DASSP] to ensure that approval time for the 
entire application process to participate in the DASSP program 
takes no longer than 120 days. The Committee also expects TSA 
will continue to make available screening beyond 5 p.m. for 
Temporary Flight Restriction [TFR] designated gateways when a 
TFR is in effect.
    The Committee recognizes that Transportation Security 
Officers [TSO] are the front line for aviation security and 
their proficiency at screening carry-on baggage at airport 
checkpoints can have a direct impact on the safety of the 
public. The Committee encourages TSA to continue to develop and 
field adaptive x-ray baggage screening training tools to 
improve TSO performance on existing screening systems and of 
the next generation of Computed Tomography [CT] systems.
    Canines.--The recommendation includes $165,725,000 for the 
National Explosives Detection Canine Team Program [NEDCTP], 
which will continue to support 1,097 teams led by local law 
enforcement and TSA. Within this amount, $10,957,000 is 
included above the budget request amount to support the 
additional 50 teams added in fiscal year 2019. These canine 
teams will not only enhance security effectiveness inside and 
outside secure areas of airports, but will also increase 
passenger screening efficiency. TSA shall continue to use risk-
based methodology to allocate the teams to the highest risk 
airports.
    Screening Technology Maintenance.--The Committee 
understands TSA has drafted a strategy on the development of a 
process and tool to assess the performance of Transportation 
Security Equipment [TSE] after deployment to the field. TSA is 
directed to brief the Committee on this strategy no later than 
60 days after the date of enactment of this act. The briefing 
shall include a cost benefit analysis of a predictive analytics 
capability that can be used to inform maintenance actions.
    Capability Acceptance Process [CAP].--The Committee is 
aware of efforts by TSA to pursue a Capability Acceptance 
Process to facilitate receiving Transportation Security 
Equipment and other capability from local airports, airlines, 
or other industry partners. This capability is an option for 
donors interested in accelerating acquisition timelines, 
facilitation recapitalization, or enhancing passenger 
experience. Gifting equipment to TSA would also require donors 
to be financially responsible for efforts associated with the 
deployment of a donated capability, such as, but not limited 
to, the removal of any TSA equipment being replaced. If 
implemented, this has the potential to create a bifurcated 
system of security at airports dependent on stakeholders' 
desire and ability to pay for equipment. Before full 
implementation of CAP, TSA is to brief the Committee on its 
plan of action, including how gift and donation authority will 
be utilized, the fiscal implications, and expectations of 
industry partners.

                    OTHER OPERATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT

    Federal Air Marshals.--The recommendation includes 
$752,584,000 for the Federal Air Marshal Service [FAMS], which 
is $9,293,000 above the budget request amount and $11,014,000 
below the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. This amount includes 
funding for FAMS to continue protection of the air 
transportation system against terrorist threats, sabotage, or 
other acts of violence.
    The Committee directs TSA to continue submitting quarterly 
reports on FAMS mission coverage, staffing levels, and hiring 
rates as it has done in prior years.
    Federal Flight Deck Officer and Flight Crew Training 
Programs.--The recommendation includes $19,773,000 for the 
Federal Flight Deck Officer and Flight Crew Training programs, 
which is $3,076,000 above the budget request amount and 
$2,842,000 below the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. This 
returns the program to fiscal year 2018 levels after a one-time 
increase in fiscal year 2019 to mitigate training requirements.
    Law Enforcement Reimbursement Program.--The recommendation 
includes $46,275,000 for the Law Enforcement Officer [LEO] 
Reimbursement Program. The Committee recognizes the important 
role that the LEO reimbursement program has played in helping 
airports meet federally mandated airport security requirements. 
The Committee directs TSA to maintain and fund the LEO Program.
    Visible Intermodal Prevention Response [VIPR] Teams.--The 
recommendation includes $55,637,000 to maintain 31 Visible 
Intermodal Prevention Response teams. VIPR teams work in 
collaboration with Federal, State, and local transportation 
stakeholders to prevent and deter acts of terrorism against 
transportation systems, including commercial aviation, air 
cargo, general aviation, mass transit, maritime, freight rail, 
highway, and pipeline systems.
    Public Area Security National Framework.--The TSA Public 
Area Security National Framework report recommended the 
consolidation of emergency communications, airport law 
enforcement, aircraft rescue operations, and firefighting 
operations into a single operations center on the airport 
campus. This recommendation is particularly important for 
airports serving a civil-military purpose, which face a 
heightened risk of terrorist attacks. Within 120 days of the 
date of enactment of this act, TSA shall brief the Committee on 
its plans for implementing the report's recommendations.
    Surface Programs.--The recommendation includes $8,420,000 
above the budget request for additional resources to deploy 
cybersecurity teams and conduct field assessments in order to 
more quickly address pipeline security gaps.

       Improvements.......................................
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Checkpoint Support.--Funds provided for checkpoint support 
will be used to continue field-testing and deploying equipment 
for passenger screening, carry-on baggage screening, checkpoint 
reconfiguration, electronic surveillance of checkpoints, and 
operational integration of systems. Currently deployed 
technologies include walk-through metal detectors, explosives 
trace detection machines, bottled liquid scanners, chemical 
analysis devices, advanced technology systems, and Advanced 
Imaging Technology [AIT]. Purchases of equipment with a unit 
cost of less than $250,000 will continue to be made with O&S 
funds.
    Quarterly Briefings.--TSA is to provide quarterly briefings 
on its investment plans for checkpoint security and Explosives 
Detection Systems [EDS] refurbishment, procurement, and 
installation on an airport-by-airport basis. These briefings 
shall include information on specific technologies for 
purchase, program schedules, major milestones, obligation 
schedules, 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. These 
briefings shall also include details on checkpoint screening 
pilot programs and public-private partnerships that are in 
progress or being considered for implementation. Information in 
this portion of the briefing is to include for each pilot 
program or public-private partnership: a summary; a description 
of its goals; potential capabilities and benefits of the 
program; the airports where the pilots or partnerships will 
take place; funding commitments; and plans for future 
expansion. The Committee expects these briefings to include 
detailed program schedules for passenger screening technologies 
and these schedules should include all milestones from the 
issuance of a request for proposal to deployment.
    Computed Tomography [CT].--The recommendation includes 
$142,100,000 for the purchase and installation of 237 CT 
machines for passenger checkpoints at the highest-risk airports 
in the United States. This effort is part of a larger effort to 
recapitalize aging screening equipment, add detection 
capabilities, and improve performance in order to mitigate 
emerging threats to aviation security. The Committee encourages 
TSA to remain innovative in its efforts to enhance threat 
detection. The recommendation includes $8,000,000 above the 
request to accelerate CT algorithm development. These funds 
will utilize the momentum gained from currently funded 
algorithm development activities to continue the efforts 
associated with moving toward higher levels within the 
detection standard in the nearer term.
    Explosives Detection Systems [EDS].--The recommendation 
includes $54,023,000 for EDS, including $40,000,000 for TSA to 
continue reimbursement of airports that incurred costs 
associated with the development of a partial or completed in-
line baggage system prior to August 3, 2007. As directed in the 
Joint Explanatory Statements accompanying the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113) and the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141), TSA 
has validated project cost information submitted by airports to 
determine allowable and allocable expenses. TSA is directed to 
brief the Committee on its updated timeline and allocation plan 
for these funds not later than 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act. The brief shall include a plan for how 
TSA will address the remaining balance of reimbursement claims 
in future budget requests.
    The Committee continues to support the Registered Traveler 
[RT] program. As TSA deploys its Credential Authentication 
Technology [CAT] it is important that the RT program be 
incorporated in the planning and deployment of CAT. The TSA 
Administrator shall notify the appropriate committees of 
Congress and the Comptroller General of the United States when 
the CAT is fully deployed at all airport checkpoints where a RT 
is currently utilized. Not later than 90 days after receipt of 
such notice, the Comptroller General shall conduct an 
assessment of the feasibility of RT service providers providing 
identity verification services in conjunction with CAT. This 
assessment shall consider security implications, including the 
consequences of service provider access to watch list and other 
intelligence and security data; adequacy of privacy protection 
for all passengers; authorities related to restrictions 
regarding Secure Flight data; the statutorily required role of 
Federal employees in conducting screening of passengers; TSA 
requirements related to screener qualifications, training, and 
certification; and cost effectiveness for the Government. The 
assessment shall further address impact of RT programs on TSA 
checkpoint operations, including Pre Check enrollment and 
overall passenger throughput. Following this assessment, the 
Comptroller General shall develop and report recommendations to 
the appropriate committees of Congress.
    Advanced Imaging Technology.--The Committee is pleased that 
TSA has submitted the report on the Use of Advanced Imaging 
Technology at Checkpoints as directed by the Committee in the 
fiscal year 2019 report. TSA is directed to provide a status 
update not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on TSA efforts to enhance screening effectiveness of 
the current AIT fleet, testing and evaluating international 
screening technology, and identifying additional manufacturers 
of screening equipment with the potential to meet or exceed the 
minimum screening standard. The Committee expects TSA to 
proceed without delay in evaluation and validation of enhanced 
AIT systems.

                         OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT

Appropriations, 2019....................................  $7,808,201,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................   7,872,395,000
Committee recommendation................................   8,102,466,000

    The Operations and Support [O&S] appropriation provides 
funds for the salaries and benefits of both military and 
civilian personnel and the operation and maintenance of 
multipurpose vessels, aircraft, and shore units strategically 
located along the coasts and inland waterways of the U.S. and 
in selected areas overseas. The program activities of this 
appropriation include: search and rescue; aids to navigation; 
marine safety; marine environmental protection; enforcement of 
laws and treaties; Arctic and Antarctic operations; and defense 
readiness.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $8,102,466,000 for O&S, which is 
$230,071,000 above the budget request amount and $294,265,000 
above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The total includes 
$24,500,000 from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund and 
$530,000,000 for Coast Guard defense-related activities, of 
which $190,000,000 is for OCO. The Committee also recommends 
funding to meet the air facility operation obligations laid out 
in section 676a of title 14, United States Code.
    Based on recent reporting pursuant to Public Law 94-254, 
the Committee is aware of increasing Coast Guard costs that 
will result in diminished resources for other statutory 
missions. The Coast Guard shall appropriately account for these 
needs in its fiscal year 2021 budget request.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 enacted and 
fiscal year 2020 budget request levels:

    Arctic Program Office.--Recognizing the growing national 
security imperatives for an enhanced U.S. presence in the 
Arctic, the Committee is pleased that the Coast Guard has 
established an Arctic Strategy, an Arctic Strategy 
Implementation Plan, and an Arctic Program Office. This office 
has furthered national defense and security interests in the 
Arctic through its extensive participation, coordination, and 
collaboration with other international, Federal, and SLTT 
partners to improve awareness, broaden partnerships, and 
modernize governance in the Arctic. The Coast Guard is to 
report to the Committee if additional resources are needed for 
the Arctic Program Office to further its important mission.
    Center of Expertise for Great Lakes Oil Spill Preparedness 
and Response.--The Committee includes $1,500,000 for the Coast 
Guard to establish a Center of Expertise for Great Lakes Oil 
Spill Preparedness and Response in accordance with section 807 
of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 
(Public Law 115-282).
    Environmental Remediation Activities.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of the Coast Guard's Unfunded 
Priority List [UPL] and provides $6,500,000 above the request 
for conducting environmental remediation activities at Port 
Clarence, Alaska, in order to convey property, and for site 
assessments and environmental remediation activities at 
locations impacted by Hurricanes Michael, Florence, and Lane, 
as well as locations where Aqueous Film Forming Foam was 
dispersed, such as Kodiak, AK; San Diego, CA; Elizabeth City, 
NC; Clearwater, FL; Detroit, MI; Baltimore, MD; and North Bend, 
OR.
    National Maritime Center.--The Coast Guard is responsible 
for credentialing qualified merchant mariners serving on U.S. 
vessels, a mission that is critical to both maritime commerce 
and national security. The IT system used to manage 
credentialing at the National Maritime Center, Merchant Mariner 
Secure Electronic Application System [MMSEAS], is antiquated 
and inefficient. Therefore, the Committee provides $3,000,000 
to establish requirements for replacing this system and to 
identify alternatives that are secure, adaptable, and 
verifiable; and that improve service to the mariner community.
    U.S. Coast Guard Operations Systems Center.--The U.S. Coast 
Guard Operations Systems Center supports all 11 Coast Guard 
statutory mission areas by housing and maintaining all of the 
Coast Guard's IT systems and computer servers, as well as by 
providing operational watches worldwide through the Mutual-
Assistance Vessel Rescue System. The Committee includes the 
requested amount of $16,181,000 to invest in cybersecurity and 
IT infrastructure at the U.S. Coast Guard Operations Systems 
Center.
    Coast Guard Museum.--Pursuant to section 98 of title 14, 
United States Code, the Committee provides $5,000,000 within 
the total O&S appropriation to be available for two years for 
the establishment and maintenance of a National Coast Guard 
Museum.
    Asset Colocation.--In establishing homeports for new 
vessels in the northeastern United States, the Coast Guard is 
directed to partner with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration and the U.S. Navy to leverage existing assets 
and new investments at Naval Station Newport.
    Search and Rescue Study.--Within 1 year of the date of 
enactment of this act, the Coast Guard is directed to complete 
and submit to the Committee a study of its policies and 
authorities for operations near offshore wind energy projects. 
The study shall recommend appropriate procedures to ensure the 
Coast Guard can effectively carry out its missions, 
particularly search and rescue missions in proximity to 
offshore wind farms, and shall include an assessment of the 
types and positioning of Coast Guard assets and equipment in 
this maritime environment. The Coast Guard shall consult with 
relevant Federal and State agencies and other stakeholders, 
including developers and commercial and recreational fishermen.
    Maritime Law Enforcement.--The Coast Guard shall report to 
the Committee within 180 days of the enactment of this act with 
an assessment of the Coast Guard's ability to conduct maritime 
law enforcement activities on the high seas in support of 
international partners. Specifically, the assessment should 
address the following elements of the Coast Guard's current 
capabilities, capacity, and legal authority to conduct maritime 
law enforcement activities outside of United States territorial 
waters: human trafficking; forced labor; illegal, unreported, 
or unregulated fishing; and other illicit activity at sea. The 
report should detail: technical coordination with partner 
nations, non-governmental organizations, and the U.S. Navy to 
improve tracking and detection of vessels engaged in such 
activities; Coast Guard requirements, including material, 
personnel, logistic, and administrative requirements, for 
support from the U.S. Navy (either direct support requests, or 
through Geographic Combatant Commanders and the Global Force 
Management process) and partner nations, specifying any unmet 
resource demands; any limiting factors that constrain the Coast 
Guard's ability to fully resource this mission, including legal 
authorities; and legislative proposals for mitigating these 
limitations.
    Motor Lifeboat Assessment.--Not later than 1 year after the 
date of enactment of this act, the Coast Guard shall complete 
and submit to the Committee a study on the placement and 
allocation of 47-foot motor lifeboats in the northeastern 
United States. At a minimum, the study shall examine the 
current and future needs for motor lifeboats operating in both 
nearshore and offshore environments. Additionally, the study 
shall analyze the necessity to have timely and responsive 
transit times to cases, given the operational capabilities and 
limitations of the platform.
    Child Care Subsidy.--The Committee recognizes that the 
availability of childcare is crucial for Coast Guard families, 
especially those in high cost of living areas, as well as those 
stationed in remote locations without access to Coast Guard or 
Department of Defense childcare facilities. The recommendation 
includes $8,048,000 to maintain childcare subsidy availability.
    Fishing Safety Training and Research.--The Committee 
supports an agreement between the Coast Guard and the National 
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health [NIOSH] to 
efficiently administer the Fishing Safety Training and Fishing 
Safety Research Grant Programs and recommends $6,000,000 to 
continue administering both grants in fiscal year 2020. The 
Committee encourages the Coast Guard and NIOSH to consult with 
fishing safety training experts in the development of grant 
program guidelines. If necessary, a small percentage of the 
funds appropriated may be used to cover the Federal costs 
associated with NIOSH's administration of the programs.
    Minor Shore Infrastructure.--The bill includes long-
standing language to allow funds for operations to be used for 
the sustainment, repair, replacement, and maintenance of shore 
infrastructure projects, including projects to correct 
deficiencies in code compliance or to mitigate against threats 
to life, health, or safety, with costs not exceeding 75 percent 
of a building's or structure's replacement value. Additionally, 
O&S funds can be used for contingent, emergent, or other 
unspecified minor construction projects, which include new 
construction, procurement, development, conversion, rebuilding, 
improvement, or an extension of any facility not exceeding 
$2,000,000 in total cost at any location for planned or 
unplanned operational needs.
    Drug Interdiction.--The Committee is concerned that deaths 
caused by cocaine overdoses in the United States increased by 
more than 105 percent between 2015 and 2017. The Committee is 
further concerned with the use of the maritime domain to 
traffic cocaine, which typically originates in Colombia, into 
the United States. Despite interdicting more than 200 metric 
tons of cocaine in 2018, the Coast Guard is only able to 
respond to a fraction of the intelligence it receives, largely 
due to a lack of vessels and aircraft. Therefore, the Committee 
recommendation includes funding for new assets used for Coast 
Guard's drug interdiction efforts, including additional air and 
surface assets.

    Full-Funding Policy.--The Committee again directs an 
exception to the administration's current acquisition policy 
that requires the Coast Guard to attain the total acquisition 
cost for a vessel, including long lead time materials [LLTM], 
production costs, and post-production costs, before a 
production contract can be awarded. This policy has the 
potential to make shipbuilding less efficient, to force delayed 
obligation of production funds, and to require post-production 
funds far in advance of when they will be used. The Department 
should position itself to acquire vessels in the most efficient 
manner within the guidelines of strict governance measures. The 
Committee expects the administration to adopt a similar policy 
for the acquisition of the Offshore Patrol Cutter [OPC] and 
heavy polar icebreaker.
    Domestic Content.--To the maximum extent practicable, the 
Coast Guard is directed to utilize components that are 
manufactured in the United States when contracting for new 
vessels. Such components include: auxiliary equipment, such as 
pumps for shipboard services; propulsion equipment, including 
engines, reduction gears, and propellers; shipboard cranes; and 
spreaders for shipboard cranes.
    Command and Control, Communications, Computer, Cyber, and 
Intelligence [C51] Systems.--The Committee recommends resources 
requested to support program management activities and 
delivering operational and mission support capabilities for 
Command and Control, Communications, Computer, Cyber, and 
Intelligence [C51] systems. Fiscal year 2020 funding shall 
focus on MILSATCOM recapitalization of shore units, 
recapitalization of the Maritime Security Risk Analysis Model 
application, and beginning the transition to a network 
infrastructure that supports operations in a secure mobile 
environment.

                                VESSELS

    Great Lakes Icebreaking Capacity.--The Committee is 
concerned that the Coast Guard cannot provide adequate 
icebreaking capacity on the Great Lakes, consequently affecting 
the regional and national economies and the safety of maritime 
commerce. To enhance icebreaking capacity on the Great Lakes, 
the Committee provides $5,000,000 for the Coast Guard to 
formally charter and establish a major acquisition program 
office within 180 days of the date of enactment of this act. 
Such office shall be tasked with implementing an acquisition 
plan to procure a Great Lakes icebreaker that is at least as 
capable as USCGC MACKINAW (WLBB-30). Not later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act, the Coast Guard shall 
submit to the Committee the acquisition plan, schedule, and 
funding requirements for procurement of such Great Lakes 
icebreaker.
    Maritime Security Response Vessels.--Leveraging existing 
military inventory of naval special warfare combatant craft, 
the Committee provides $10,800,000 for vessels capable of 
operating in contested, near shore environments to support 
operations of Maritime Security Response Teams East and West. 
Further, the Committee recommends that any such vessel should 
be currently in production and used by Department of Defense 
teams requiring similar capabilities.
    National Security Cutter [NSC].--The Committee continues to 
support the acquisition of the Coast Guard's capital ship, the 
NSC. The NSC remains the Coast Guard's largest and most 
technologically advanced cutter, replacing the 378-foot Legacy 
High Endurance Cutters built between 1967 and 1972. In fiscal 
year 2018, the Coast Guard interdicted 209 metric tons of 
cocaine and detained over 600 suspected smugglers, surpassing 
the interdiction and detention efforts of all other Federal 
agencies combined. In November 2018, the USCGC JAMES (WMSL-
754), in support of the Joint Interagency Task Force South, 
seized nearly nine tons of cocaine and detained over forty 
suspected drug smugglers from various drug conveyances. Despite 
its continued success in fiscal year 2018, the Coast Guard was 
only able to target a fraction of known smuggling events. The 
Committee recognizes the crucial role NSCs play in combatting 
the Coast Guard's current and future operational and capacity 
challenges in interdicting drugs, exercising U.S. sovereignty, 
maintaining maritime security, and conducting search-and-rescue 
operations on high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction 
of the United States. The Committee believes that an additional 
NSC would provide the Coast Guard with capabilities far beyond 
those envisioned when the Coast Guard established the program 
of record for this highly effective platform.
    Offshore Patrol Cutter.--The Committee notes that the Coast 
Guard has declared the OPC as its highest recapitalization 
priority and provides the requested amount of $457,000,000 to 
fund the construction of a third OPC. Additionally, the 
Committee provides funds for LLTM for the fourth and fifth 
OPCs. OPC recapitalization will replace assets that have 
surpassed their functional service life, subsequently enhancing 
the effectiveness of the Coast Guard's layered security 
strategy. While the Committee supports OPC procurements, the 
Committee is concerned about potential cost overruns for the 
program and directs the Coast Guard to brief the Committee 
within one week prior to taking any procurement actions 
impacting estimated costs for the OPC program.
    Fast Response Cutter [FRC] Program.--In accordance with the 
Coast Guard's recapitalization plan, the Committee supports the 
replacement of legacy 110-foot Island Class patrol boats with 
FRCs that will operate similarly in the coastal zone. The 
budget request included two FRCs, two fewer vessels than the 
Coast Guard can currently purchase under the current contract 
with the shipbuilder. The Committee recognizes that the Coast 
Guard would have to renegotiate and likely pay as much as 
$10,000,000 more per unit if purchasing fewer than four 
vessels. With additional FRCs required to support the Coast 
Guard's critical mission in support of the Department of 
Defense in Patrol Forces Southwest Asia, the Committee 
recommends $240,000,000, as required to purchase four FRCs in 
fiscal year 2020.
    Polar Ice Breaking Vessel.--The Committee recognizes the 
value of heavy polar icebreakers in promoting the national 
security and economic interests of the United States in the 
Arctic and Antarctic regions and recommends the requested 
amount of $35,000,000 to maintain the acquisition schedule for 
a new class of heavy polar icebreakers, followed by the 
acquisition of three medium polar icebreakers. The funds are 
provided for long lead materials in the design and construction 
phase for the second Polar Security Cutter [PSC]. The 
recommendation will allow the Coast Guard to maintain the 
accelerated acquisition schedule for a new class of heavy polar 
icebreakers that was established in fiscal year 2019.
    Polar Star.--The recommendation includes $15,000,000 to 
carry out a service life extension program [SLEP] for the POLAR 
STAR to extend its service life as the Coast Guard continues to 
modernize its icebreaking fleet.
    Inland Waterways and Western River Tenders.--The Committee 
continues to be concerned with the Coast Guard's fleet of 
inland river tenders which help ensure the integrity of the 
structures, beacons, and buoys that support the U.S. Marine 
Transportation System. In addition to age concerns and 
equipment obsolesce issues, the fleet is unable to accommodate 
mixed-gender crews and presents other challenges, particularly 
to crew health. The recommendation includes the requested 
amount of $2,500,000 to continue accelerating the Inland 
Waterways and Western River Tenders acquisition. The Department 
is directed to provide to the Committee an acquisition plan and 
requirements document not less than 90 days after the date of 
enactment of this act that details the Coast Guard's plans to 
acquire new vessels to replace the current fleet.
    52-Foot Heavy Weather Boats.--While the Committee is 
supportive of the Coast Guard's efforts to conduct research on 
heavy weather surf boat needs, the Committee is concerned about 
the delay and urges expeditious completion of the small boat 
capability analysis report. Further, the Committee urges the 
Coast Guard to ensure consideration of towing capacity as an 
operational requirement for the replacement of the 52-foot 
Special Purpose Craft--Heavy Weather.
    Maritime Security Response Equipment.--The Committee 
directs the Coast Guard to assess the costs and benefits of 
using next-generation, crew-served stabilized small arms weapon 
mounts to facilitate more effective drug-runner interdiction 
and support of U.S. Department of Defense vessel escort. The 
Committee recommends that acquisition, integration, and 
deployment decisions related to Maritime Security Response 
Teams and Maritime Safety and Security Teams prioritize 
accurate targeting and safer engagement distances in order to 
improve the safety of Coast Guard personnel and reduce the risk 
of collateral damage.

                                AIRCRAFT

    Coast Guard MH-60 Fleet.--The Committee is aware of the 
Coast Guard's aging fleet of 45 Sikorsky MH-60Ts and that these 
airframes, with an average of 15,000 flight hours, will begin 
to start reaching their ``Do Not Exceed'' limits. In fiscal 
year 2019, the Committee provided funding to support required 
Non-Recurring Engineering [NRE] activities and the procurement 
of new airframes for the MH-60 fleet. In an effort to extend 
the fleet's service life as the Coast Guard considers MH-60 
recapitalization and replacement options, the Committee 
provides $150,000,000 to re-establish the production line, 
complete engineering structural analysis, refurbish tooling, 
create engineering drawings, and document manufacturing process 
planning.
    Rotary-Wing Aircraft Back-Up Hoist Emergency Recovery 
Devices.--The Coast Guard's fleet of rotary-wing aircraft 
includes the MH-60 and MH-65 helicopters that employ 
conventional rescue winches used to hoist rescue swimmers and 
victims out of the water. In cases where the hoist fails or the 
cable becomes entangled, the MH-60 utilizes a back-up manual 
hand-crank emergency recovery device [ERD] capable of lifting a 
single rescue swimmer or victim into the aircraft. The 
Committee is concerned that when the primary hoist on the MH-60 
fails, the backup ERD may not provide the lifting capacity 
necessary to continue a rescue operation. Furthermore, the MH-
65 has no back-up device if a hoist failure arises. The 
Committee encourages the Coast Guard to consider equipping the 
fleet of rotary-wing aircraft with back-up powered ascender 
systems capable of providing equivalent lifting capacity to the 
conventional rescue hoists in order to ensure incident response 
and recovery resources are ready and capable.

                SHORE FACILITIES AND AIDS TO NAVIGATION

    Unfunded Priorities List [UPL].--The Committee directs the 
Coast Guard to provide to the Committee at the time of the 
fiscal year 2021 budget request submission a list of approved 
but unfunded Coast Guard priorities and the funds needed for 
each priority. The Coast Guard shall include projects that 
address unfunded aviation requirements, including unanticipated 
aviation infrastructure needs that result from emergent 
missions, disaster recovery, and other external factors.
    Shore Construction Report.--The Committee understands the 
Coast Guard is drafting a report on shore-side infrastructure 
improvements required in Alaska, as required by the Joint 
Explanatory Statement accompanying the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-6). The Committee 
expects that the report will detail any dock improvements 
needed to accommodate Coast Guard cutters and any housing 
construction or improvements needed to appropriately 
accommodate new cutters' crew members and their families. 
Further, the report shall include a timeline for when funding 
is needed to implement these improvements.
    Shore Construction.--The Committee recommends funding the 
shore construction projects included in the request. Due to the 
timing of the enactment of the fiscal year 2019 final 
appropriations and the submission of the 2020 request to the 
Congress, several high-priority shore construction projects 
requested in fiscal year 2020 were fully funded in fiscal year 
2019. As such, the Committee's recommendation reflects 
necessary modifications tied to the Coast Guard's UPL. The 
recommendation includes funding for the Coast Guard's two 
highest priority housing, family support, safety, and training 
facilities projects on the UPL. Investments in family housing 
and child development centers will help improve the quality of 
life for military members and their families. The 
recommendation also includes $7,200,000 for the required 
realignment of structures in the Delaware River. The 
realignment was listed as the highest priority on the Coast 
Guard's UPL for supporting operational assets and maritime 
commerce.
    Critical Major Acquisition Systems Infrastructure [MASI] 
Investments.--The recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the 
two highest priority MASI projects on the Coast Guard's UPL. 
The first project begins construction on major pier and 
facility improvements required to homeport the first PSC in 
Seattle, Washington. The second project advances construction 
of a new pier and shore-ties for a 225-foot seagoing buoy 
tender, previously displaced by the National Security Cutter 
and returning to Honolulu, Hawaii in 2024. In addition, the 
Committee recommends the requested $3,000,000 necessary to 
ensure maintenance facility upgrades in Kodiak, Alaska funded 
in fiscal year 2019 meet requirements for both OPCs and FRCs.
    Fast Response Cutter and Buoy Tender Piers.--The Committee 
recommends the requested amount of $20,600,000 to support FRC 
homeporting in Sitka, Alaska. In addition, the Committee 
recommends the Coast Guard leverage this investment to take 
steps necessary to prepare to recapitalize the Ocean Going Buoy 
Tender [WLB] pier located at the same location, which is beyond 
its service life and is limited by load restrictions. In 
addition to supporting buoy tenders, the new pier will support 
FRCs by providing structural capacity to perform maintenance 
activities on the attached floating docks. The Coast Guard 
could see significant efficiencies by contracting 
simultaneously for both the FRC and WLB pier work.
    Elizabeth City Air Station.--The Committee acknowledges 
that Elizabeth City Coast Guard Air Station is a critical 
facility to support search and rescue and disaster relief 
efforts along the Virginia and North Carolina coasts. Further, 
the Committee recognizes the Nation's need for pilot training 
programs at U.S. institutions of higher learning to address 
current and projected shortfalls, as well as Congress' 
commitment to diversity in aviation-related fields. Therefore, 
the Committee encourages the Coast Guard to partner with and 
support these training programs, particularly in underserved 
areas where air facilities are shared. The Coast Guard shall 
engage with local governments and institutions of higher 
learning to develop a plan to reactivate Runway 1/19 to better 
meet immediate operational requirements and support long term 
contributions to our Nation's pilot shortfall. The Committee 
recommends $3,000,000 above the request for this initiative and 
directs the Coast Guard to work with State and local partners 
to complete this project using State and local funding and to 
brief the Committee on the funding plan within 120 days of the 
date of enactment of this act.
    Cape May Training Center.--The Coast Guard is directed to 
continue planning to recapitalize the barracks at the Cape May 
Training Center, as described in the Coast Guard's UPL, to 
increase capacity for three recruit companies, meet modern 
standards, and accommodate both genders through classrooms and 
administrative support.
    Alaska Maritime Communications.--The Committee expects the 
report required by the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying 
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-6) on 
plans to provide communications throughout the entire Coastal 
Western Alaska Captain of the Port Zone will also articulate 
the costs of implementing the plans.

same as the budget request amount and $15,307,000 below the 
fiscal year 2019 enacted level.

                     HEALTH CARE FUND CONTRIBUTION

Appropriations, 2019....................................    $199,360,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................     205,107,000
Committee recommendation................................     205,107,000

    According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office, 
the Coast Guard will pay $205,107,000 in fiscal year 2020 to 
the Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund for the costs of 
military Medicare-eligible health benefits earned by its 
uniformed service members. The contribution is funded by 
permanent indefinite discretionary authority pursuant to Public 
Law 108-375.

                              RETIRED PAY

Appropriations, 2019....................................  $1,739,844,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................   1,802,309,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,802,309,000

    The Retired Pay account provides for: the pay of retired 
military personnel of the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Reserve, and 
members of the former Lighthouse Service; annuities payable to 
beneficiaries of retired military personnel under the retired 
serviceman's family protection plan pursuant to sections 1431-
1446 of title 10, United States Code and survivor benefit plan 
pursuant to sections 1447-1455 of title 10, United States Code; 
payments for career status bonuses under the National Defense 
Authorization Act (Public Law 115-232); continuation pay, and 
payments for medical care of retired personnel and their 
dependents under the Dependents Medical Care Act (10 U.S.C., 
ch. 55).

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $1,802,309,000 for Retired Pay as 
requested, which is $62,465,000 above the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level.

                      United States Secret Service

    The United States Secret Service's [USSS] appropriation 
provides funds for: the protection of the President, the Vice 
President, and other dignitaries and designated individuals; 
enforcement of laws relating to obligations and securities of 
the United States; enforcement of laws and investigations 
relating to financial crimes, that include, but are not limited 
to, access device fraud, financial institution fraud, identity 
theft, and computer fraud; mitigation against computer-based 
attacks on financial, banking, and telecommunications 
infrastructure; and protection of the White House and other 
buildings within the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The 
agency also provides support for investigations related to 
missing and exploited children and for digital forensics 
investigative training for State and local cybersecurity task 
forces.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $2,349,354,000 for USSS, which is 
$40,377,000 above the budget request amount and $101,195,000 
above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level.
    The Committee recognizes the successes of USSS in the face 
of persistent protection requirements and increasing global 
investigations. The Committee continues to be pleased with the 
agency's reinvigorated approach to hiring new personnel, but 
work remains to ensure the agency is properly staffed, 
especially during Presidential election cycles, and to return 
the agency to its expected level of mission effectiveness.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation as compared to the fiscal year 2019 and budget 
request levels:

                         PROTECTIVE OPERATIONS

    Protection of Persons and Facilities.--The Committee 
recommends $749,908,000, which is $4,500,000 above the budget 
request amount and $8,513,000 above the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level. The Committee has provided a total of $9,000,000 
for overtime needs in calendar year 2019 with $4,500,000 within 
Protection of Persons and Facilities. While USSS Special Agents 
provide protection of permanent protectees, the Uniformed 
Division is authorized to protect any building in which 
Presidential offices are located. The uneventful visits and 
safe departures of Federal employees and USSS protectees do not 
go unnoticed by the Committee.
    Protective Countermeasures.--The Committee recommends 
$61,543,000 for Protective Countermeasures, which is the same 
as the request, to protect the President and Vice President 
against emerging explosive, chemical, biological, radiological, 
and cyber threats. The Committee has a long history of 
supporting these enhancements, including support for advanced 
protective countermeasures designed to address both established 
and evolving threats.
    Protective Intelligence.--The Committee recommends 
$49,710,000, which is the same as the budget request amount. 
This level of funding will ensure that protective intelligence 
processes, policies, and systems provide quality information 
and services, including counter-intelligence investigations of 
individuals, groups, or activities that pose threats to 
protectees and protected events.
    Presidential Campaigns and National Security Special 
Events.--The Committee recommends $155,172,000, as requested, 
which is $117,678,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level, 
to support currently planned and unanticipated National 
Security Special Events [NSSE], in addition to the protective 
mission needs related to the 2020 presidential campaign. The 
Committee directs the USSS to provide semiannual briefings to 
the Committee on the use of these funds, with the first 
briefing to occur not later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this act. Also included in the recommendation is a 
general provision prohibiting funds from being used to 
reimburse any Federal department or agency for its 
participation in an NSSE.

                            FIELD OPERATIONS

    Domestic and International Field Operations.--The Committee 
recommends $639,674,000 for Domestic and International Field 
Operations, which is $4,500,000 above the budget request amount 
and $8,231,000 below the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The 
Committee has provided a total of $9,000,000 for overtime needs 
in calendar year 2019 with $4,500,000 within Domestic and 
International Field Operations. In addition to directly 
supporting the Department's strategic goal to protect critical 
infrastructure, which includes protecting U.S. currency and 
financial systems from threats originating abroad, the USSS 
investigates violations of law related to the counterfeiting of 
obligations and securities of the United States. This mission 
involves investigating and coordinating a comprehensive 
international response to threats to the integrity of U.S. 
currency and to other transnational financial crimes, including 
financial institution fraud, identity theft, access device 
fraud, and money laundering. As criminals develop and exploit 
new technologies, USSS field operations must adjust to meet the 
changing threat.
    Support for Missing and Exploited Children 
Investigations.--The recommendation includes $6,000,000 for 
grants in support of missing and exploited children. The 
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children [NCMEC] was 
created in 1984 to serve as a national resource on missing and 
sexually exploited children. USSS has provided grant funding, 
which is currently responsible for approximately 17 percent of 
the organization's Federal funding, to NCMEC since 1997 and 
currently provides support for NCMEC's forensics unit. NCMEC 
provides assistance to law enforcement for: long-term missing 
persons cases; identification of signs of facial reconstruction 
procedures; outreach and prevention programs for children, 
their families, and the public; assistance to victims of child 
sex trafficking and child sexual exploitation; and other 
critical operations.
    Support for Computer Forensics Training.--The Committee 
recommends $30,377,000, which is $26,377,000 above the budget 
request amount and $5,355,000 above the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level, to continue training in computer forensics and 
to expand in response to unmet training needs. These resources 
are in support of the National Computer Forensics Institute, 
which trains State and local law enforcement and legal and 
judicial professionals in computer forensics and cyber 
investigations. This training is critical to bolstering State 
and local cyber capabilities and supports USSS Electronic 
Crimes Task Forces.

       BASIC AND IN-SERVICE TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

    USSS hiring improvements have resulted in additional 
training requirements at its Rowley Training Center [RTC] and 
at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers' [FLETC] 
campuses in Glynco, Georgia and Artesia, New Mexico. Therefore, 
the Committee fully funds the necessary FLETC training courses 
and RTC courses, including the 20 Special Agent training 
courses, 10 Uniformed Division training courses, and 2 Mixed 
Basic training courses, planned for fiscal year 2020.

                            MISSION SUPPORT

    The Committee continues to be concerned with the prolonged 
workforce effects stemming from USSS reliance on overtime pay 
to fill personnel gaps between protective and investigative 
operations. The effects of this reliance stem from the 
extensive 2016 presidential campaign and a subsequent increase 
in provisional and non-provisional protectees. The USSS must 
institute long-term policy and management techniques to reach 
benchmarks of 7,777 employees by the end of fiscal year 2020, 
8,130 employees in fiscal year 2021, and 8,472 employees in 
fiscal year 2022. Of significance, the USSS will end fiscal 
year 2019 with approximately 1,000 positions higher than fiscal 
year 2015, positioning the agency well for the 2020 campaign 
cycle. However, the Committee encourages USSS hiring and 
retention initiatives that work towards right-sizing the agency 
to meet an increasing workload.
    In response to a number of incidents, including a series of 
intrusions onto the White House grounds, the Protective Mission 
Panel established in late 2014 recommended that USSS 
significantly increase training for those executing the 
protective operation mission equating to 25 percent of their 
work time be set aside for training. A May 2019 report by GAO 
(GAO-19-415) found that the Office of Protective Operations 
never achieved the specified 25 percent training target. One of 
the challenges in doing so is the pressure put on training 
resulting from ``frequent executive travel.'' Just as the 
Committee has demonstrated its support for meeting the USSS 
hiring and staffing goals, it also believes it is critical that 
its personnel meet and maintain a high level of training. The 
Committee directs the USSS to implement the recommendations 
contained within GAO-19-415, and directs semiannual briefings 
to the Committee on meeting these goals and integrating data on 
training hours to ensure that the established training target 
is met not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this act.
    Operational Mission Support.--Operational Mission Support 
[OMS] underpins nearly every USSS protective mission, from the 
screening of people and vehicles to physical infrastructure 
improvements, including vehicle barriers, cameras, and the 
White House fence. OMS is also responsible for developing the 
Next Generation Presidential Limousine. The Committee directs 
the USSS to provide the Committee with quarterly updates on the 
contract progress for this acquisition and to detail progress 
made to meet agreed upon delivery deadlines.
    Strategic Human Capital Plan.--The Committee directs the 
Secret Service, in coordination with the Department's Chief 
Human Capital Officer, to provide a strategic human capital 
plan not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this 
act for fiscal years 2020 through 2024 that aligns mission 
requirements with resource projections and delineates between 
protective and investigative missions. The plan shall address 
how projected resources can provide the appropriate combination 
of special agents and Uniformed Division officers to avoid 
routine leave restrictions, enable a regular schedule of 
mission-critical training, and provide appropriate levels of 
support staffing. In addition to addressing how protective and 
investigative performance measures will be met, the plan shall 
address how the Secret Service will meet training targets for

    To ensure that SLTT enforcement have the aptitude to 
successfully complete advanced training courses related to 
computer and mobile device forensic examinations as authorized 
in Public Law 115-76, the Committee recommends $5,000,000 above 
the request for a pilot program with a university-based digital 
investigation center that supports State and local law 
enforcement in States where the Department is currently 
deploying resources to provide such support. The Committee 
directs the Secret Service to work with the Department's OCFO 
and OCPO on technical assistance and guidance in formulating 
the pilot and effectively managing its funding. Such activities 
shall prioritize lines of effort that maximize and evaluate 
effective instruction for students enrolled at the NCFI, such 
as pre- and post-assessment of student knowledge of proper 
procedure and tool utilization.

            PROTECTION, PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY

            Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency

    The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency [CISA] 
aims to foster better integration of national approaches among 
strategic homeland security programs, facilitate infrastructure 
protection, ensure broad emergency communications capabilities, 
and safeguard Federal buildings and facilities.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends a total program level of 
$2,017,400,000 for CISA, which is $409,250,000 above the budget 
request amount and $335,643,000 above the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2019. The Committee recognizes that CISA works with 
many other Federal agencies on needed projects but is concerned 
that some projects are not properly validated. CISA is directed 
to ensure that all programs and projects completed in 
conjunction with other Federal agencies undergo a requirements 
assessment and are clearly justified to the Committee to ensure 
only the highest priority projects are funded.
    CISA is directed to provide a monthly briefing on 
identified and emerging issues related to technology and 
infrastructure to the Committee beginning no later than 15 days 
after the date of enactment of this act. The briefing shall 
include CISA's role in defining and mitigating issues; which 
Federal agencies CISA collaborates with on such issues and how; 
how issues are being discussed with partners including the 
private sector, SLTT, and Congress; and any gaps in the ability 
to define and mitigate emerging issues. Initial topics to be 
covered should include 5G, machine learning, and use of foreign 
manufactured technology by partners.
    The Director of CISA, jointly with the Administrator of 
FEMA, is directed to brief the Committee no later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act on the development and 
implementation of CISA's National Critical Functions and FEMA's 
Community Lifelines. The briefing shall include a description 
of how partners, such as the private sector and SLTT, are 
engaged before, during, and after operations; how confusion 
over implementation of separate but similar efforts will be 
eliminated; and how CISA and FEMA can improve clarity of the 
goal trying to be accomplished and buy-in of their roles with 
Congress and other partners.

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

    State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Government 
Assistance.--The Committee recommends $24,071,000 and no fewer 
than 10 additional FTE, as requested, across several PPAs as 
described in this report, to assist SLTT governments in 
enhancing security and providing resilience for elections 
infrastructure.

                             CYBERSECURITY

    The recommendation includes $1,003,382,000 for 
cybersecurity, which is $242,500,000 above the budget request 
amount and $221,309,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted 
level. The total amount for cybersecurity recommended in fiscal 
year 2020 for CISA, including in O&S PCI; and R&D, is 
$1,378,824,000, which is $350,383,000 above the budget request 
amount and $336,978,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted 
level. Of the total, $22,286,000 is for SLTT assistance through 
National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center 
[NCCIC] activities to enhance security and provide resilience 
for elections infrastructure.
    Threat Analysis and Response.--Of the total provided, 
$68,000,000 above the request is provided to better identify 
and pursue threat actors in Federal, SLTT, and Critical 
Infrastructure networks and defend U.S. assets from cyber 
intrusions.
    Regional Information Sharing.--Of the total provided, 
$3,000,000 is recommended to award grants or cooperative 
agreements to sustain or conduct new pilot programs to explore 
and evaluate the most effective methods for cybersecurity 
information sharing, focusing on regional information sharing; 
communications and outreach; training and education; and 
research and development for the improvement of SLTT government 
capabilities and capacity. CISA is directed to provide a report 
on the results of each pilot not later than 180 days after its 
completion.
    Vulnerability Management.--Of the total provided, 
$117,000,000 above the request is provided to begin to reduce 
the 12-month backlog in vulnerability assessments reported to 
the NCCIC.
    Cybersecurity Education.--The recommendation includes a 
total of $14,918,000 for cybersecurity education and awareness, 
which is $8,088,000 above the budget request amount and the 
same as the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The Committee notes 
the critical and growing shortages of qualified national 
cybersecurity professionals and remains concerned about the 
development of the current and future cybersecurity workforce. 
The recommendation includes $4,300,000 for the Cybersecurity 
Education and Training Assistance Program and rejects the 
proposed elimination of this Kindergarten through 12th grade 
student program. The Committee encourages the Department to 
emphasize scalability through delivery of education via the 
Internet and through the development of industry-proven 
training techniques that may be deployed nationwide to engage 
industry partners, K-12 students, teachers, counselors, and 
post-secondary institutions. This effort would encourage 
students to pursue degrees and careers in cybersecurity. As 
stated in previous years, any proposed reductions to 
cybersecurity education will not be considered unless CISA 
provides a clear plan for how the previously funded activities 
would be fully realigned within other agencies in a manner that 
sustains the objectives of this critical effort.
    The Nation's Cybersecurity Workforce.--On May 11, 2017, the 
President issued Executive Order 13800 calling for the 
strengthening of cybersecurity Federal networks and critical 
networks. The Executive Order required the Secretaries of the 
Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Commerce 
to provide recommendations to support the growth and 
sustainment of the Nation's cybersecurity workforce in both the 
public and private sectors. The November 16, 2017, report 
entitled ``Supporting the Growth and Sustainment of the 
Nation's Cybersecurity Workforce'' contains seven key 
recommendations, including the development of an ``ambitious 
vision and action plan-of-attack'', the need for Federal 
Government to lead a call to action, and the alignment of 
private and public sector education and training. The report 
also states that ``the Administration should focus on, and 
recommend, . . . sufficient appropriations for high quality, 
effective, cybersecurity education and workforce development 
programs in its budget proposals.'' On May 2, 2019, Executive 
Order 13780 on America's Cybersecurity Workforce was issued 
requiring the Secretaries to execute the recommendations made 
in the aforementioned report. The Committee recommends 
$3,000,000 above the request for CISA and the Department of 
Commerce to expedite implementation of this effort. Not later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, CISA and 
the Department of Commerce, in conjunction with any other 
appropriate Departments or Agencies, shall jointly brief the 
Committee on progress made to date on each recommendation.
    Cultivating a Non-Traditional Workforce.--Presidential 
Executive Order 13800 calls for the creation of scalable, 
affordable cyber education programs to help workforce 
development. The recommendation includes $3,700,000 above the 
request to initiate no fewer than two pilot programs at 
accredited educational institutions to prove the efficacy of a 
``spoke and hub'' model to leverage existing programs with 
universities and community college systems providing bachelor 
and advanced degrees in cybersecurity and homeland security. 
Each pilot should have a lead institution and partner with 
community colleges; priority consideration shall be given to 
institutions that serve large minority populations or largely 
rural populations. The pilots shall build metrics to address 
targeted goals such as increases in minority population, access 
of rural communities education, gender diversification, and 
veterans employment.
    Cyber Technology Initiative.--The request proposes budget 
neutral transfers from several PPAs to combine like activities 
related to cyber technology initiatives under a Chief 
Technology Officer to ensure cybersecurity technology 
acquisitions adhere to a common vision and to promote rapid 
technical innovation that improves effectiveness of 
cybersecurity solutions. The Committee directs CISA to provide 
a briefing no later than 60 days after enactment of this act on 
the efficiencies achieved through this consolidation. The 
briefing should also detail how CISA may benefit from a process 
where the private sector could live demonstrate technologies 
for a short period of time to determine longer term impacts, 
including ethics safeguards for future contracting.
    National Cybersecurity Protection System [NCPS].--
Modernization of the Federal workforce, which includes employee 
mobility and remote workstation technologies, will change the 
needs of NCPS solutions. CISA is directed to provide a report 
no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this act 
detailing how CISA will modernize the NCPS, including EINSTEIN. 
The report should include how EINSTEIN will remain relevant 
given changing trends in technology and the Federal workforce 
and provide a strategic outlook for how CISA plans to evolve 
EINSTEIN over the next 5 years. The report should address 
emerging technologies, including those which focus on securing 
endpoints, and how emerging technologies could be integrated 
with existing program capabilities to enhance EINSTEIN's 
overall effectiveness.
    Federal Network Services and Modernization.--Of the total 
provided, $26,000,000 above the request is provided to begin a 
Cybersecurity Shared Services Office to better gain the 
visibility and response mechanisms CISA needs to properly 
defend the Federal Enterprise.

                        INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY

    The recommendation includes $209,769,000 for Infrastructure 
Security, which is $27,078,000 above the budget request amount 
and $6,864,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. Of the 
total, $1,785,000 is to enhance security and provide resilience 
for elections infrastructure.
    Office of Bombing Prevention.--The recommendation includes 
$16,033,000 for the Office of Bombing Prevention [OBP], which 
is $1,200,000 above the budget request amount to continue the 
Train the Trainer program. CISA and OBP shall brief the 
Committee not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on the mission criticality of Train the Trainer 
program and compare the program to other efforts in the Federal 
Government identifying any duplication.
    School Safety Best Practices.--As stipulated in the May 
2019 Memorandum of Understanding to support the recommendations 
by the Federal Commission on School Safety, the Department has 
a role in a multi-agency effort to improve school safety 
through SchoolSafety.gov. Specifically, the Department has been 
tasked to create a School Safety Clearinghouse to facilitate 
ongoing and coordinated interagency efforts to assess and share 
best practices related to school safety as well as identify 
safe school design practices for use by state and local 
educational agencies, schools, architects, and engineers. Best 
practices shall aim to prioritize evidence-based practices for 
improving school building design safety for students and school 
staff. The Clearinghouse is intended to make training and 
technical assistance available to state and local educational 
agencies seeking to improve school safety and to share best 
practices with school safety stakeholders such as architects, 
engineers, school safety experts, building supervisors, school 
facilities managers, and community-based organizations. All 
such training resources and technical assistance resources 
shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other 
applicable civil rights laws. The Clearinghouse shall include 
resources that protect a positive school environment coupled 
with safety. The Department is to establish an operational 
Clearinghouse website within 90 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, to serve as a central location for up-
to-date information on school safety-related resources.

                        EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS

    The recommendation includes $117,001,000 for Emergency 
Communications, which is $447,000 above the budget request 
amount and $1,068,000 below the fiscal year 2019 enacted level.

                         INTEGRATED OPERATIONS

    The recommendation includes $170,318,000 for Integrated 
Operations [IO], which is $29,709,000 above the budget request 
amount and $7,466,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level.
    Within the total and above the request, $1,727,000 is for 
CISA's software assurance program and $2,032,000 is to continue 
efforts to ensure the integrity of supply chains. The Committee 
notes its efforts to sustain both of these critical efforts 
despite proposed cuts over many Administrations. CISA is 
directed to brief the Committee no later than 90 days after the 
date of enactment of this act detailing the specific 
accomplishments of the programs and how such accomplishments 
would be completed if funding is not sustained.
    CISA should explore technologies developed at S&T, 
including those related to continuous software assurance, for 
use as security tools.
    National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center 
[NISAC].--Of the total amount recommended for IO, not less than 
$18,650,000 is for the NISAC, which is $9,738,000 above the 
budget request amount and the same as the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level. NISAC plays an important role in the 
Department's understanding of the potential impact and 
cascading effects of infrastructure failures and disruptions. 
The Committee recognizes the important mission of NISAC and 
encourages CISA to ensure that the NISAC remains mission-
focused with a vision toward the future and an ability to 
articulate return on investment.
    Supply Chain Analysis.--Of the total amount recommended, 
$10,000,000 above the request is included to develop data-
driven risk analytics on supply chains, including a scoring 
methodology, and to communicate the risks associated with 
certain products to affected partners.
    Risk Analysis.--The Committee notes the criticality of 
analyzing risks and then prioritizing how to, and identifying 
who should, mitigate such risks. In June of 2018, the 
Department announced the creation of the National Risk 
Management Center [NRMC]. Over several months after the 
announcement, a series of meetings were conducted to hone the 
Center's mission and how it would function. Its current stated 
purpose is to serve as a planning, analysis, and collaboration 
center working to identify and address the most significant 
risks to our Nation's critical infrastructure. During 
development of the NRMC, concerns arose about whether all 
stakeholders were consulted and whether CISA had complete 
details about on-going efforts by other Federal agencies to 
address similar matters. To prevent stovepiped information, 
stakeholder confusion, duplication of effort, and wasted 
funding, CISA must clearly define and garner support for its 
risk analysis and management efforts. CISA is directed to 
provide a briefing not later than 90 days after the date of 
enactment of this act on the CISA's risk management analysis 
lessons learned in establishing a Center and how it will 
execute its mission going forward.

                             CYBERSECURITY

    The fiscal year 2020 budget request proposes an increase of 
$19,396,000 for CISA cybersecurity R&D while concurrently 
reducing S&T cybersecurity research by $24,091,000 compared to 
the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The Committee rejects this 
shell game and funds cybersecurity research and development 
within S&T. CISA and S&T shall continue ongoing efforts to more 
closely align its cybersecurity research efforts towards CISA 
requirements. As requested, funding for technologies standards 
is provided under the Cyber Infrastructure Resilience PPA, 
instead of within R&D as it was in fiscal year 2019.
    The Committee recognizes the critical role of Idaho 
National Laboratory [INL] in supporting the Department's 
efforts to enhance the security and resilience of industrial 
control systems and critical infrastructure. INL currently 
supports a variety of CISA requirements, including the 
technical evaluation of cyber-physical disruptions and the 
identification of infrastructure dependencies. The Committee 
believes CISA can further utilize the expertise of the lab to 
help identify both tactical and strategic risks that could 
disrupt National Critical Functions, including Supplying Water, 
through the INL's water security testbed and All Hazards 
Analysis framework. The diversity of capability present at INL 
can also allow CISA to assess and analyze a range of other 
cross-sector risk areas, such as shared cross-sector pipeline 
industrial control systems vulnerabilities. The Committee 
includes $3,000,000 above the request for CISA to leverage 
INL's water security testbed and All Hazards Analysis framework 
to support these critical objectives.

                       INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION

    As requested, the Committee recommends funding to support 
research, development, and application of innovative 
technologies for community-based critical infrastructure 
protection and the protection of critical infrastructure 
against terrorist attacks and other emergencies.

                         INTEGRATED OPERATIONS

    As requested, the Committee recommends funding to develop 
capabilities to model, simulate, and conduct other advanced 
analytics of disruptions to cyber and infrastructure networks.

                  Federal Emergency Management Agency

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

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $21,779,749,000 for FEMA, which is 
$3,772,184,000 above the budget request amount and 
$5,228,116,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's

    The Administrator of FEMA, jointly with the Director of 
CISA, is directed to brief the Committee no later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act on the development and 
implementation of CISA's National Critical Functions and FEMA's 
Community Lifelines. The briefing shall include a description 
of how partners, such as the private sector and SLTT, are 
engaged before, during, and after operations; how confusion 
over implementation of separate but similar efforts will be 
eliminated; and how CISA and FEMA can improve clarity of the 
goal trying to be accomplished and buy-in of their roles with 
Congress and other partners.

                               MITIGATION

    Of the total recommendation for Mitigation, not less than 
$8,765,000 is for the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction 
Program. Additionally, within the total, not less than 
$9,188,000 is for the National Dam Safety Program, which 
provides assistance to States to prevent dam failures and 
improve their dam safety programs through training and 
implementation of best practices.
    Acting Administrator Gaynor testified about the Building 
Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Program to the Senate 
Appropriations Committee on April 3, 2019, where he stated 
``...we want to be smarter about how we use this money. As we 
construct this program today we're going to incorporate some of 
those concepts about how would like to see locals and States 
apply those money.'' FEMA should incorporate input from local 
governments and ensure the needs and voices of localities are 
adequately considered. Accordingly, within 60 days of the date 
of enactment of this act and quarterly thereafter, FEMA shall 
report to the Committee on the status of Building Resilient 
Infrastructure and Communities [BRIC] as FEMA's implementation 
and include its plan to ensure the needs of partners are met.
    In considering grant applications for the purpose of pre-
disaster mitigation, FEMA should give consideration to 
applications for the development of State-run central databases 
of Community Safe Rooms and for the construction of Community 
Safe Rooms.
    No later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
this act, FEMA shall brief the Committee on actions necessary 
to minimize the amount of time between FEMA's approval of pre-
disaster mitigation grant applications and reimbursement by 
FEMA.
    The Committee notes several States were deemed ineligible 
for 2018 Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant funding as a result of 
issues with FEMA's electronic submission process. FEMA's 
technical assistance was not consistently provided to all 
States in a timely manner prior to the submission deadline. The 
Committee directs FEMA to evaluate its process for assisting 
States that have experienced technical difficulties during the 
application process.
    FEMA, in conjunction with CISA, is directed to brief the 
Committee no later than 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on resources available to provide technical advice, 
just-in-time training, and inter-disciplinary perspective on 
novel threats to local response teams and support incident 
commanders during a crisis. The briefing should include an 
explanation of grant funds available for such purpose.
    Of the total amount provided for flood hazard mapping and 
risk analysis, not less than $1,200,000 shall be used for an 
urban flood mapping pilot program. The Administrator shall make 
funding available to multiple governments for pilot programs to 
enhance the production of maps relating to urban flooding and 
associated property damage, improve urban flood mitigation 
measures, and increase the public availability of these maps to 
enable property owners to minimize the risk of urban flooding. 
The grantees should represent a population of more than 50,000 
individuals and at least one grantee should represent a 
population of more than 800,000 individuals in a non-coastal 
area. The Administrator is encouraged to consider geographic 
diversity when awarding grants. Within 12 months of the 
completion of the pilot program, FEMA shall submit a report to 
the Committee describing the activities carried out by the 
pilot and recommendations for implementing strategies, 
practices, and technologies to mitigate the effects of urban 
flooding.
    FEMA is directed to improve coordination across agencies 
that have a role in managing small or large urban floods. This 
should include both intergovernmental coordination among 
Federal and SLTT government entities and interdisciplinary 
coordination among organizations responsible for storm water 
systems, flood control, removal of damaged property, severe 
storm warnings, evacuation, community redevelopment, and flood 
mitigation.

                      PREPAREDNESS AND PROTECTION

    FEMA is directed to brief the Committee on the ongoing 
efforts to address gaps in tribal emergency management 
capabilities. The briefing shall include information regarding 
efforts to complete a survey of baseline tribal emergency 
management capabilities and subsequent steps to close 
capability gaps and an assessment of the need to establish a 
Center of Excellence for Tribal Emergency Services and 
resources necessary for establishing such a Center.
    The Committee encourages FEMA to evaluate the need for new 
technologies, including an inventory of atmospheric water 
generation machines, to better prepare for a disaster response.
    The Committee acknowledges the necessity of disaster 
readiness, support, and response activities that target 
vulnerable water and wastewater utilities lacking adequate 
financial resources and human capital to sufficiently address 
reoccurring disasters. The Committee directs $1,000,000 to 
enable these vulnerable water and wastewater utilities in 
coastal States along the Gulf of Mexico to better prepare for 
and respond to disasters. As noted in the 2015 Water and 
Wastewater Systems Sector-Specific Plan, the Committee directs 
FEMA to collaborate with the Environmental Protection Agency on 
best practices to ensure resiliency of these facilities during 
disasters.
    The Committee is concerned about the prevalence of cancer 
among firefighters, who have a 14 percent higher risk of dying 
from the disease than the public due to exposure to carcinogens 
and other hazardous chemicals and environments. The Committee 
urges FEMA to collaborate with fire departments to find cost-
effective procedures to reduce exposure.
    The Committee notes deployment of FEMA Integration Teams 
has begun to enhance intergovernmental coordination by co-
locating Federal partners with SLTT. FEMA is directed to brief 
the Committee no later than 30 days after the date of enactment 
of this act on how many teams have been deployed, which States 
are still lacking teams, and the metric FEMA intends to use to 
measure outcomes.

                         RESPONSE AND RECOVERY

    Of the total amount provided, $2,000,000, as requested, 
shall be for carrying out the Emergency Management Assistance 
Compact.
    The Committee urges FEMA to communicate to Congress, with 
greater transparency, how FEMA uses Public Assistance and 
Individual Assistance factors in determining a major disaster 
declaration, including whether FEMA gives greater consideration 
to certain factors such as estimated cost of the assistance.
    FEMA is directed to provide a briefing on the steps and 
timeline required to promulgate rules on expenses incurred by 
self-employed or freelance workers to repair or replace tools 
that are considered eligible expenses for assistance under 
section 408 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5174), as a result of a 
major disaster or emergency. The briefing shall include a 
description of any obstacles to begin rulemaking and how 
unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles to receiving assistance can 
be eliminated.
    Coordination with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration.--The Committee is pleased that FEMA has co-
located personnel at select National Weather Service [NWS] 
operational centers, including the National Hurricane Center 
and the Storm Prediction Center, in order to most efficiently 
provide FEMA with operationally-relevant weather information 
that improves FEMA's ability to respond to certain natural 
disasters. The Committee is aware that the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] is preparing the National 
Water Center [NWC] to serve as the NWS's operational center for 
water and flood prediction and will begin delivering 
operational products during fiscal year 2020 that will enhance 
FEMA's ability to respond to flood events. While NOAA and the 
NWC have made progress in developing next-generation water 
modeling and forecasting capabilities, it is imperative that 
this information be effectively disseminated to and utilized by 
Federal and SLTT emergency managers to assist in their 
decisionmaking. Therefore, the Committee directs FEMA to 
permanently co-locate personnel at the NWC no later than the 
date on which the NWC begins to deliver operational products. 
Further, the Committee directs FEMA to brief the Committee no 
later than 90 days after the date on which FEMA personnel are 
located at the NWC; and on the steps the FEMA and NOAA staff at 
the NWC have taken to familiarize FEMA headquarters staff, 
regional staff, and FEMA Integration Team staff with the 
products and capabilities of the NWC.
    FEMA is directed to consider listing breastfeeding services 
and supplies in the Commonly Used Shelter Items and Services 
Listing and making such services and supplies available during 
a disaster, as appropriate.
    The Committee understands FEMA continues to explore 
innovative options to ensure that disaster survivors have 
access to safe, accessible, and cost effective sheltering 
solutions. FEMA is encouraged to review modernized, 
collapsible, hard-walled shelters that can be rapidly deployed 
as it considers options that meet FEMA standards.
    FEMA is directed to review its assessment and Public 
Assistance eligibility determination process with regard to 
infrastructure located in regions with scarce local government 
resources to maintain records of pre-disaster infrastructure 
quality. This review should include an assessment of FEMA's 
mitigation, preparedness, and protection practices to determine 
whether additional outreach and assistance to local governments 
with limited resources is needed to properly assess 
infrastructure that is deemed to be at-risk should a disaster 
occur. The review should also focus on strategies for local 
governments that do not have the resources to maintain pre-
disaster records of infrastructure quality. FEMA shall provide 
a briefing on its findings to the Committee not later than 180 
days after the date of enactment of this act.

                            MISSION SUPPORT

    The Committee recommends $537,173,000 for mission support, 
which is $2,641,000 above the budget request amount.

\1\$10,000,000 was awarded in fiscal year 2019 by the Administration.

    The Committee urges FEMA to maximize support available 
through Federal Assistance for demonstration projects focused 
on improved emergency planning for elderly, disabled, and 
homeless individuals; and to develop best practices that can be 
implemented nationwide using lessons learned, including those 
from the 2017 fast-moving wildfires.
    When awarding grants, the Administrator shall consider the 
needs of cybersecurity preparedness and resilience.
    State Homeland Security Grant Program.--The Office of 
Inspector General released a report in 2017 claiming Operation 
Stonegarden did not conduct proper oversight of overtime pay 
for FEMA and CBP personnel. Although the Department considers 
all recommendations from the report to be implemented and 
resolved, the Committee directs FEMA to provide an update on 
oversight improvements no later than 90 days from the date of 
enactment of this act.
    Urban Area Security Initiative [UASI] Risk Assessment.--The 
Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Act (Public Law 110-
53) requires FEMA to conduct a risk assessment of the 100 most 
populous metropolitan areas in the United States on an annual 
basis. All such areas are eligible for UASI funding based on 
threat, vulnerability, and consequence. FEMA shall therefore 
justify all funding decisions on the basis of risk. The 
Committee directs FEMA to provide a briefing no later than 10 
days after completion of the risk assessment on how mid-sized 
and large metropolitan areas located within 200 miles of the 
southern border experiencing high rates of illegal activity are 
addressed in the assessment.
    The Committee remains concerned that FEMA's current risk 
analysis does not consider certain data points which 
disproportionately affect non-contiguous States and 
territories, particularly those with large urban population 
centers. In particular, FEMA does not incorporate data about 
the proximity of a Metropolitan Statistical Area [MSA] and the 
ability to receive response resources; real-time data of 
international visitors; or the significance of the military 
mission of the defense industrial base assets. FEMA is directed 
to brief the Committee on how such data points are incorporated 
when assessing risk for awarding fiscal year 2020 UASI grants, 
as was directed in Senate Report 114-264. If FEMA is unable to 
resolve the question of how to incorporate these factors into 
their fiscal year 2020 risk assessment, the Committee expects 
FEMA to provide a report to the Committee describing what the 
agency has done to attempt compliance with this directive, 
listing specifically what obstacles prevented the agency from 
complying, and providing the agency's plan to comply.
    Predisaster Mitigation.--Predisaster mitigation is 
important to prevent the loss of life and protect property. 
From low frequency, high consequence areas like the Cascadia 
Subduction Zone and the New Madrid Seismic Zone to areas that 
experience more regular disaster activity such as high risk 
hurricane districts, mitigation grants can aid in reducing the 
impact of the consequences.
    Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program.--The 
Committee recognizes that natural and man-made catastrophes 
continue to pose significant risks at the regional level. 
FEMA's Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program 
provides a unique and valuable means of promoting a more 
cohesive approach to catastrophic planning among a region's 
relevant State, local, non-profit, and private sector actors. 
Subsequently, the Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the 
Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program. Furthermore, 
FEMA is directed to: prioritize funding for efforts which 
formalize new or sustain existing working groups for continued 
effective coordination; ensure synchronization of plans and 
shared best practices; implement citizen and community 
preparedness campaigns; and pre-position needed commodities and 
equipment. FEMA is further directed to take into account the 
needs of both the area at risk of natural and man-made 
catastrophe and likely host communities.
    Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams.--The 
Committee recommends $10,000,000 for this newly authorized 
program enacted in the Water Infrastructure Improvements for 
the Nation Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-322).
    Emergency Food and Shelter Program.--The Committee notes 
the Border Supplemental (Public Law 116-26) included 
$30,000,000 to address the urgent need of communities providing 
services to migrants throughout the United States. FEMA should 
continue to work cooperatively on reimbursements with non-
governmental organizations and State and local governments 
impacted by the surge of migrants to assess the needs and 
determine the best way to provide resources for this national 
issue.
    Center for Domestic Preparedness [CDP].--The Committee is 
aware that on August 26, 2017, FEMA's Office of Response and 
Recovery established a Personnel Mobilization Center [PMC] 
operation at the Center for Domestic Preparedness in response 
to the 2017 hurricanes and wildfires, allowing 1,434 FEMA 
Responders and 3,870 Surge Capacity Force [SCF] volunteers to 
be processed, trained, and subsequently deployed to support 
field operations. The Committee notes that section 763a of 
title 6, United States Code requires CDP to ensure that Federal 
training programs do not have a deleterious effect on the 
capacity of CDP to provide its usual suite of training 
opportunities for our Nation's first responders, emergency 
management professionals, law enforcement officers, and 
healthcare professionals. The Committee expects the Office of 
Response and Recovery to be mindful of this statutory 
requirement of CDP.
    Center for Homeland Defense and Security.--The 
recommendation includes full funding for this Center and 
rejects the budget request proposal to eliminate the program. 
The Committee notes the Center's critical mission to provide 
leadership development curriculum to improve how public safety 
officials view an increasingly complex homeland security 
mission.
    Emergency Management Institute.--The recommendation 
includes $19,253,000, an increase of $160,000 above the budget 
request for the Institute to keep pace with training demands of 
emergency managers across the United States.
    United States Fire Academy [USFA].--The recommendation 
includes $46,844,000 for USFA, which is $239,000 above the 
budget request amount to ensure the Academy can fulfill its 
mission of providing training and professional development 
without reducing its ability to carry out other important 
responsibilities. FEMA is directed to continue its traditional 
funding for the congressionally mandated National Fallen 
Firefighters Memorial.
    National Domestic Preparedness Consortium [NDPC].--The 
recommendation includes $101,000,000, which is consistent with 
the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. The Committee acknowledges 
the crucial impact of the NDPC and encourages the continued use 
of mobile training, specifically for active shooter and complex 
coordinated attacks, to better prepare first responders for 
these national preparedness gaps. Additionally, the National 
Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security [NCS4] is 
recognized as an academic leader in addressing and mitigating 
potential threats inherent to large spectator sports and 
special events. The Committee encourages FEMA to include NCS4 
as a member to the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium 
and utilize the Center as a training partner to enhance 
domestic preparedness at such events.
    National Exercise Program.--The recommendation includes 
$18,756,000, which is $54,000 above the fiscal year 2019 
enacted level.

                          DISASTER RELIEF FUND

Appropriations (regular), 2019.......................... $12,558,000,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................  14,549,684,000
Committee recommendation................................  17,826,684,000

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $17,826,684,000 for the Disaster 
Relief Fund [DRF], of which $17,352,000,000 is provided under 
the disaster relief adjustment pursuant to Public Law 112-25. 
The recommendation continues to include bill language regarding 
the monthly spending reporting requirements set forth in Public 
Law 144-4.
    The Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-6) 
directed FEMA to brief the Committee on policy changes under 
consideration related to the criteria that determine 
declarations pursuant to section 401 of the Stafford Act 
(Public Law 100-707). The Committee continues this requirement 
and requests this briefing not later that 30 days after 
enactment of this act in which FEMA shall outline the 
importance placed on State population when evaluating disaster 
impact and how certain data is accounted for in such 
declarations. Such data should include: the local assessable 
tax base; the local sales tax; the median income as it compares 
to that of the State; the poverty rate of the local affected 
area as it compares to that of the State; and the economy of 
the State, including factors such as the unemployment rate of 
the State as compared to the unemployment rate of the United 
States.
    Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power Program Contractor 
Payments.--The Committee is concerned over the growing backlog 
of unpaid contractors, such as in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
Extended payment delays, for work properly and completely 
performed pursuant to contract requirements will increase the 
contract cost of future disasters. For example, if disaster 
contracts are regularly delayed beyond a reasonable time, fewer 
contractors can afford to compete and bids will have to include 
the financing costs arising from anticipated payment delays of 
substantial duration. FEMA is encouraged to increase its 
commitment to the recently initiated strike team endeavor by 
jointly meeting with the involved parties on at least a bi-
weekly basis until this matter is resolved. FEMA is directed to 
brief the Committee, not later than 15 days after the date of 
enactment of this act on its efforts to ensure timely payments 
for legitimate contracted work and outline, the extent and 
cause of the payment delays, planned resolution, and the 
expected date of resolution. FEMA is directed to provide a 
briefing each month thereafter on any issues related to 
unresolved payment delays.

                     NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE FUND

Appropriations, 2019....................................    $202,153,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................     206,166,000
Committee recommendation................................     206,166,000

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $206,166,000 for National Flood 
Insurance Fund [NFIF] activities related to flood plain 
management, flood mapping and mitigation, and flood insurance 
operations.
    Community Rating System.--Since 1990, the Community Rating 
System [CRS] has encouraged voluntary community flood plain 
management activities in excess of NFIP minimum standards. As a 
community takes mitigation actions, local residents become 
eligible for NFIP policy discounts. In recent years, the 
Committee has repeatedly provided direction to FEMA to utilize 
existing partnerships with public-private, higher education, 
not-for-profit, and other institutions with expertise in the 
CRS program to provide technical assistance to communities and 
to ensure that all affected communities are aware of its 
benefits. The Committee encourages FEMA to consider how to 
better leverage these partnerships through competitive grant 
programs or other incentives.
    The Committee notes the importance of the long-term 
financial stability of the NFIF and recognizes FEMA's recent 
efforts to publish a quarterly ``Watermark'' report on the 
NFIF's finances. The Committee encourages FEMA to continue its 
commitment to quarterly reporting on the NFIF in a public and 
transparent manner while complying with other reporting 
requirements in statute.
    The Committee urges FEMA to implement the final 
recommendations of the Technical Mapping Advisory Council's 
Annual Reports. FEMA should coordinate with State agencies and 
other experts that have developed mapping expertise and models 
that can be useful in FEMA's efforts to consider future 
conditions.

             RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TRAINING, AND SERVICES

           United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

    United States Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS] 
carries out activities 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.

collects fees from petitioners seeking a beneficiary's initial 
grant of H-1B or L nonimmigrant classification or those 
petitioners seeking to change a beneficiary's employer within 
those classifications pursuant to Public Law 108-447.
    H-1B Nonimmigrant Petitioner Fees.--USCIS collects fees 
from petitioners under the H-1B program pursuant to Public Law 
108-447.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends total appropriations of 
$121,586,000 for USCIS, which is the same as the budget request 
amount and $20,940,000 below the fiscal year 2019 enacted 
level.

    H-2B Visa Distribution.--The Committee remains concerned 
that the current semiannual distribution of H-2B visas on April 
1 and October 1 of each year unduly disadvantages employers 
that need H-2B workers to begin work later in a semiannual 
period than other employers participating in that period. The 
Committee directs the Department, in consultation with the 
Department of Labor, to review options to ameliorate this 
problem consistent with the H-2B provisions of the Immigration 
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356) and to report to the 
Committee on these options not later than 120 days after the 
date of enactment of this act.
    Processing Backlogs.--The Committee is concerned about the 
prolonged delays at USCIS processing centers. Therefore, the 
Committee directs USCIS to provide a briefing within 30 days 
after the date of enactment of this act on the reasons for 
delays in processing applications and petitions, including 
employment authorizations and what steps USCIS is taking to 
address the delays. The Committee also directs USCIS to provide 
a briefing on specific actions, if any, that the agency is 
taking to reduce the backlog of asylum applications while 
ensuring that asylum applicants are properly reviewed for 
security purposes.
    The Committee is concerned about the slow pace of refugee 
admissions experienced since fiscal year 2017. The Committee 
directs the Department to submit to the Committee and make 
available to the public on its website not later than 90 days 
after the date of enactment of this act the following 
information for each of fiscal years 2016 through 2019: the 
number of USCIS staff assigned to the Refugee Corps at the 
Refugee Affairs Division of USCIS; the number of refugee 
processing circuit rides conducted; the number of USCIS Refugee 
Corps officers assigned to each circuit ride; the destination 
region and country for each circuit ride; the number of refugee 
interviews conducted by USCIS; and the number of approvals and 
denials issued by USCIS.
    Fee Study.--As USCIS undertakes its biennial fee study, the 
Committee urges the agency to determine and include in its 
final report and in publications to the Federal Register 
information regarding the total revenue or appropriations 
needed to clear backlogs of applications for temporary status, 
adjustment of status, and naturalization and to limit future 
wait times from submission to initial adjudication to no more 
than 1 year for all petitions and applications processed by the 
agency.
    The Committee understands that USCIS does not currently 
track the adjudication of non-military deferred action requests 
and directs USCIS to begin tracking their adjudication at local 
USCIS field offices within 90 days of the date of enactment of 
this act. USCIS shall provide the Committee within 120 days of 
the date of enactment of this act with quarterly reports and 
accompanying briefings detailing the number of such requests 
submitted; the number of those requests approved; the number of 
those requests denied; the number of Notices to Appear, if any, 
issued by USCIS in connection with such denied requests; and 
the average processing times for these adjudications. Those 
reports will include copies of any Standard Operating 
Procedures, training materials, or other guidance relating to 
such deferred action requests, including but not limited to the 
intake, adjudication, and quality control review of those 
requests.

    Funding above the fiscal year 2019 enacted level is 
provided to meet a projected increase in basic training 
requirements. The Committee expects FLETC to maintain training 
at or near facility capacity before entering into new leases or 
establishing new partnerships with training organizations. To 
that end, the Committee directs FLETC to provide a cost 
analysis detailing, at minimum, each training center's maximum 
instructional capacity by course and measured against its 
annual student occupancy.
    FLETC should review opportunities to complete unmet 
training needs at National Guard facilities where practicable.

    The Operations and Support [O&S] appropriation funds the 
management functions necessary to facilitate the research and 
development mission of S&T.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $294,715,000 for O&S, which is 
$15,761,000 above the budget request amount and $13,805,000 
below the fiscal year 2019 enacted level. This level of funding 
will continue support for fiscal year 2019 personnel levels and 
enable S&T to hire 25 new FTEs, representing the first time in 
many years S&T will be able to hire a significant number of new 
FTEs. Of the amount provided, the Committee recommends not to 
exceed $10,000 for official reception and representation 
expenses. Funds provided in excess of the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2019 for this purpose are to accommodate S&T's 
increasing engagement with international partners.

                         LABORATORY FACILITIES

    The recommendation includes $122,889,000 for Laboratory 
Facilities operations, which is $6,924,000 above the budget 
request amount and $937,000 above the fiscal year 2019 enacted 
level.
    Reductions to the fiscal year 2019 level reflect a 
realignment of National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility 
operations to the Department of Agriculture, as requested, and 
a partial realignment of funding for the National Biodefense 
Analysis and Countermeasures Center [NBACC] operations to the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation, as requested. While the budget 
request suggested discontinuing the operations of the Chemical 
Security and Analysis Center [CSAC] and the National Urban 
Security Technology Laboratory [NUSTL], the recommendation 
fully funds the operations of these facilities by including 
$1,900,000 for CSAC operations and $3,400,000 for NUSTL 
operations. The recommendation also includes a total of 
$28,689,000 for NBACC operations, the Department's full share.

                  ACQUISITION AND OPERATIONS ANALYSIS

    The Committee recommends $38,772,000 for Acquisition 
Operations and Analysis, which is $5,000,000 above the budget 
request amount and $9,738,000 below the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2019.

S&T's continued support of the Joint Requirements Council 
[JRC]. The Committee encourages S&T to continue to make its 
Department-wide perspective and technical expertise available 
to the JRC and the Under Secretary for Management to support 
efforts to determine component capability gaps, the maturity of 
technologies that could fill such gaps, and the feasibility of 
cross-component solutions. To support these activities, the 
Committee recommendation includes $3,773,000 for JRC Support 
and $2,396,000 for Operational Test and Evaluation, the same as 
the amounts provided in fiscal year 2019.
    Systems Engineering.--The Committee is encouraged with the 
Department's efforts to establish systems engineering policies 
and processes to improve its acquisition programs through 
systems engineering research and development. The 
recommendation includes $4,365,000 for Systems Engineering, and 
the Committee encourages S&T to continue to leverage 
partnerships with Federal entities with expertise in this area.
    Standards.--The recommendation includes $5,000,000 for 
Standards. This level of funding will enable S&T to update 
aging standards and to develop new standards in a manner that 
enables quality, consistency, and certainty to researchers, 
developers, manufacturers and consumers across the Homeland 
Security Enterprise. During fiscal year 2020, the Committee 
expects S&T will utilize these funds for planned standards 
development related to robotics, explosives, screening 
equipment, and technology to combat the flow of opioids.
    Knowledge Management and Tech Foraging.--The recommendation 
does not include funding for Knowledge Management and Tech 
Foraging, as this activity is provided for via the R&D 
appropriation's new Innovative Industry Collaboration and 
Outreach effort, which is a cornerstone of S&T's recent 
revitalization plan.
    SAFETY Act.--The recommendation includes $8,043,000 for the 
Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies 
[SAFETY] Act program. This program encourages anti-terrorism 
preparedness and mitigation by providing liability protections 
for technologies or processes the program certifies or 
designates as meeting certain anti-terrorism standards. 
Applications for certification and designation are rising by an 
estimated 15 percent annually, and applications increased by 36 
percent between fiscal years 2015 and 2016 alone. This 
recommended level of funding will allow S&T to hire three FTE 
to help manage this increasing workload for the program.

                        RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Appropriations, 2019....................................    $511,265,000
Budget estimate, 2020...................................     303,163,000
Committee recommendation................................     415,688,000

    S&T supports the mission of the Department through basic 
and applied research, fabrication of prototypes, R&D to 
mitigate the effects of weapons of mass destruction, and 
acquiring and field testing equipment.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $415,688,000 for R&D, which is 
$112,525,000 above the budget request amount and $95,577,000 
below the fiscal year 2019 enacted level.
    The Committee directs S&T to continue to prioritize applied 
research activities that provide innovative solutions to the 
Department, its components, and their most integral 
stakeholders. Despite the inclusion of R&D appropriations for 
each component under the common appropriations structure, S&T 
should be the central component for departmental R&D, including 
R&D for other components. Ensuring that S&T is the principle 
R&D component will contribute to the goal of Departmental unity 
of effort, a goal shared by the Committee and the Department. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary to notify the 
Committee not less than 60 days in advance of any reduction, 
discontinuation, or transfer from the custody of the 
Undersecretary for Science and Technology of any research and 
development activity that is being carried out by S&T as of the 
date of enactment of this act.

Identity Technology Center, and the Committee directs S&T to 
utilize funding to leverage existing biometric expertise by 
developing a long-term cooperative relationship with a research 
entity that has a history of successfully collaborating with 
other Federal agencies that utilize biometrics and that offers 
degrees in biometric systems. These types of cooperative 
relationships can be leveraged to assist S&T and the Office of 
Biometric Identity Management in making use of the latest 
advances in technology to improve and adapt Homeland Advanced 
Recognition Technology to the needs of the Homeland Security 
Enterprise. Additionally, the Committee is pleased with S&T's 
work and cooperation with the other components in social media 
and open source analytics, which have the potential to 
significantly increase the Department's capabilities across its 
mission areas, including screening, vetting, soft target 
defense, infrastructure monitoring, disaster preparedness and 
response, and other critical homeland security missions. The 
recommendation includes $9,402,000 for the Data Analytics 
Technology Center, and the Committee encourages S&T to seek 
strategic partnerships to advance the Department's technical 
capabilities and mature this practice area.
    Cargo and Port of Entry Security.--The Committee supports 
continued development and deployment of technologies to ensure 
the safety and integrity of cargo shipments. Therefore, the 
Committee recommendation includes not less than $36,499,222 to 
continue Cargo Security and Port of Entry programs. The 
Committee is aware of Presidential Determination No. 2017-09, 
which identifies a critical item shortfall of industrial 
capacity related to secure composite shipping containers, and 
concurs with this determination. To remedy this shortfall, the 
Committee encourages S&T to continue its work with the Defense 
Production Act (Public Law 81-774) Title III program to develop 
thermoplastic composite materials that reduce costs and improve 
intrusion sensor integration; and includes $2,000,000 for this 
purpose. In addition, the Committee understands the important 
role S&T can play in improving the data analytics and 
visualization tools available to the Department to track and 
inspect people, baggage, and cargo entering and exiting the 
United States, particularly for opioids. Therefore, the 
recommendation for Cargo Security includes $6,000,000 to 
develop algorithms for cargo imaging equipment and to pursue 
advanced analytics for targeting and determining criminal 
networks on the basis of cargo movement.
    This recommendation also includes $5,000,000 for the 
development of a multi-purpose, high yield active neutron 
interrogation system that does not require the use of 
radioactive material, including efforts to reduce system size 
and improve operator safety.
    Port and Coastal Surveillance.--The recommendation includes 
$16,750,000 for Port and Coastal Surveillance. The Committee is 
aware of maritime threats and concerned with the technical 
challenges associated with maintaining persistent maritime 
domain awareness in a scalable and affordable manner. The 
Committee is also aware of an ongoing analysis of alternatives 
that will better equip S&T to understand and meet these 
challenges. Within the amount provided for Port and Coastal 
Surveillance, the Committee includes $8,000,000 for research, 
development, testing, and evaluation of existing unmanned, 
self-powered maritime sensor platforms capable of detecting 
maritime threats. In carrying out this activity, S&T shall 
consider how multiple such platforms could be operationally 
deployed and shall strongly consider the current and future 
requirements of the Coast Guard.
    Opioid and Fentanyl Detection.--Transnational criminal 
organizations are trafficking deadly heroin, fentanyl, and 
other opioids across U.S. borders, through U.S. POEs, and via 
mail shipments, distributing them across a sophisticated 
transportation network, and pushing them onto the streets of 
American communities. The Department is working to mitigate the 
flow of these substances domestically, at the borders, and 
internationally, but the substances and the networks that 
distribute them can be difficult to detect using current 
technology. Through fiscal year 2019 appropriations, the 
Committee worked successfully to provide funding dedicated 
specifically to opioid and fentanyl detection, for the first 
time. This funding is being used to develop new tools for the 
Department and its partners to improve their capability to stop 
the flow of opioids. This recommendation includes $8,500,000 to 
continue this effort in fiscal year 2020. Within amounts 
provided for Opioid/Fentanyl Detection, $1,500,000 is for S&T 
to collaborate with HSI and its university partner in this 
effort by developing opioid related investigative, training, 
analytical, and other capabilities.
    Laboratory Facilities Research and Development.--In 
addition to including full funding to continue the operations 
of NBACC, CSAC, and NUSTL, the recommendation also includes 
sufficient funding to wholly continue research and development 
activities at these laboratories. Specifically, the 
recommendation includes: $3,099,000 for Multifunction 
Detectors; $18,427,000 for Bio-Threat Characterization; 
$4,393,000 for CSAC Research and Development; $12,500,000 for 
Homemade Explosives Identification, Detection, and Mitigation; 
and $5,000,000 for Explosives and Radiation/Nuclear Attack 
Resiliency.
    Detection Canine.--The recommendation includes not less 
than $15,269,000 for the Detection Canine program to 
collaborate with end users to provide a central focal point for 
the Department's canine research and development and test and 
evaluation; promote intra-Department and interagency 
coordination to drive the development of canine technologies 
with broad application for the whole of the Homeland Security 
Enterprise; and provide a specific focus on the Person Borne 
Improvised Explosive Device [PBIED] detection canine. Within 
the amount provided for this purpose, not less than $10,000,000 
is to continue scientifically validated canine mobile sensing 
technology for explosives detection, to be developed in 
collaboration with academia, that integrates best scientific 
practices in genetics, genomics, breeding, olfaction, behavior, 
training, physiology, and metrology.
    Soft Target and Crowded Places.--The Committee recognizes 
the evolving nature of terrorist threats and believes that S&T 
should continue its focus on funding for Soft Target and 
Crowded Places research. The Committee notes that the 
Department's May 2019 Soft Targets and Crowded Places Security 
Plan Overview called for research and development to identify 
novel ways to develop and transition to operational use 
affordable and scalable technologies. These technologies reduce 
risk and work within a free and open society that values 
individual rights and privacy. This could include enhanced 
detection, screening, and countermeasures. The recommendation 
includes $7,000,000 for this activity in fiscal year 2020, a 
$2,000,000 increase over the fiscal year 2019 enacted level, to 
allow S&T, in collaboration with CISA and Department of Defense 
research partners, to address identified needs and requirements 
for soft target protection.
    Explosives Threat Assessment.--Within the amount 
recommended, not less than $6,195,000 is provided for 
Explosives Threat Assessment. The Committee is aware of S&T's 
robust and ongoing partnership with the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation's Terrorist Explosive Device Analysis Center to 
better understand and characterize home-made explosives and 
encourages S&T to continue to seek ways to fully utilize and 
expand this important partnership. The Committee is also 
pleased with S&T's outreach to other Federal research 
laboratories, including those operated by the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers, that have relevant expertise in high performance 
computing, computer-aided and interdisciplinary engineering, 
computer science, and instrumentation systems.
    Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems.--The recommendation 
includes $13,000,000 for continued investments in research, 
development, testing, and evaluation of Counter-Unmanned Aerial 
Systems [Counter-UAS] technology. The Committee is pleased that 
the Department has been be granted the authority to expand 
testing and development of Counter-UAS technology and directs 
S&T to prioritize collaborations on Counter-UAS detection and 
interdiction and traditional UAS research and development, 
including small UAS research and development, with qualified 
research universities and other qualified research entities 
with demonstrated expertise regarding Unmanned Aerial Systems. 
The Committee also supports S&T's investments in Counter-UAS to

Air Domain Awareness Testbed, and encourages S&T to build on 
these investments by partnering with industry and qualified 
universities to test and validate Counter-UAS capabilities and 
technologies.
    Enabling Unmanned Aerial Systems.--The Committee is pleased 
that S&T has established and is utilizing a common site for 
demonstration and research of small unmanned aircraft systems. 
In January 2019, the Coast Guard utilized the site for a 
maritime sensor demonstration. In April and May 2019, Customs 
and Border Protection utilized the site for a border sensor 
demonstration. The Committee is pleased that further 
demonstrations are planned for the coming months and S&T has 
made the small-UAS demonstration site available to other 
Federal partners. Of the amount recommended, not less than 
$4,000,000 shall be for Enabling UAS Technologies, of which not 
less than $2,000,000 shall be to test sensors as parts of 
systems to solve more complex maritime problems. To the 
greatest extent practicable, these funds should be used to 
harness the resources and expertise at the small-UAS 
demonstration site and the Federal Aviation Administration 
[FAA] UAS Center of Excellence.
    Silicon Valley Innovation Program.--While the Committee 
worked to extend and improve the Department's Other Transaction 
Authority in fiscal year 2019, which enables innovation through 
non-traditional government contracting, the Committee is 
concerned with the output of the Silicon Valley Innovation 
Program, which benefits from this authority. The Committee 
expects this program to deliver rapid results with fiscal year 
2019 funds and recommends $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2020. Not 
later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this act, S&T 
shall brief the Committee on the program's current and 
projected return on investment.
    Cybersecurity Research.--The Committee notes that the 
budget request sought to eliminate a vast majority, more than 
$70,000,000, in S&T cybersecurity research. While the Committee 
strongly believes that S&T should refocus its cybersecurity 
research to align much more closely with CISA requirements, the 
Committee does not believe that the Department should limit its 
cybersecurity research to CISA requirements alone, nor does the 
Committee believe that de facto transfers of research and 
development resources from S&T to operational components 
contribute to an efficient or unified Department. The Committee 
also directs S&T to continue Software Assurance research and 
that not less than $3,000,000 shall be for self-adapting 
security mechanisms that utilize data analytics-driven scoring 
to measure weaknesses in software design. The Committee further 
directs S&T to continue its efforts to ensure the effectiveness 
of cyber training for law enforcement and vulnerable 
populations, and includes $1,000,000 for S&T to continue 
working with a university partner to evaluate cybersecurity 
training materials and the social and behavioral impacts on 
protecting local law enforcement entities and their respective 
operations. Additionally, this amount shall continue to be used 
to research how to implement routine activity theory and other 
crime control methods on the cyber platforms most commonly used 
by the aging work force, the elderly, small businesses and 
other vulnerable targets of online criminal schemes.
    Natural Disaster Resiliency.--The recommendation includes a 
total of $76,732,000 for Natural Disaster Resiliency projects. 
Within this amount, $5,000,000 is for S&T to enter into an 
Educational Partnership Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers and one or more educational institutions with 
expertise in sedimentation and experience with collaborating 
with relevant Federal agencies, including the Department of 
Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, for the 
purpose of developing capabilities for maintaining and 
improving the integrity of the U.S. levee and dams systems.
    Cyber Physical Systems.--The recommendation includes not 
less than $4,167,000 for Cyber Physical Systems. Of this 
amount, not less than $1,582,000 shall be for S&T to continue 
collaborating with the Department of Energy on Cybersecurity of 
Energy Delivery Systems, which utilize critical large scale 
electric power transmission test facilities and rely on active 
cooperation and integration with operational utility providers. 
The Committee expects that the technologies developed through 
this program will ultimately be transitioned to industry for 
commercialization and deployment of more resilient electric 
grid components and systems.
    Partnership Intermediary Agreements.--The Committee 
supports the Department's efforts to establish Partnership 
Intermediaries, as defined under section 3715 of title 15, 
United States Code to support its ability to seek out, assess, 
and engage non-traditional small business vendors for the 
Department's development and acquisition efforts. The Committee 
provides $7,000,000 for Partnership Intermediary Agreements to 
enable components across the Department to engage immediately 
on technology transfer and transition activities with 
Partnership Intermediaries. The Committee expects the 
Department to include similar funding for Partnership 
Intermediaries in future budget submissions.
    Binational Cooperative Pilot.--The Committee is pleased 
that S&T has been engaged in a three-year binational research 
and development pilot. The recommendation includes $2,000,000 
for continuation of this pilot. The pilot should continue its 
focus on border security, maritime security, biometrics, 
cybersecurity, and video analytics among other topics. Within 
180 days of the enactment of this act, S&T shall provide a 
report to the Committee on the results of each grant awarded 
through the pilot and on any commercialization or transition to 
practice that has resulted from the pilot's projects.
    Technology Transfer.--The Committee supports S&T's efforts 
to promote the transfer of innovative technologies to the 
commercial market through the Commercialization Accelerator 
Program in order to address major areas of focus within the 
Department, including explosives, border security, 
cybersecurity, biological and chemical defense, and first 
responders. S&T should coordinate with the Office of University 
Programs to accelerate the transition and commercialization of 
technologies developed in support of the components at the 
university-based Centers of Excellence.
    Work for Others.--The Committee fully supports the Work for 
Others [WFO] program within NBACC and directs S&T to provide a 
briefing within 30 days of enactment of this act and annually 
thereafter on the implementation and execution of the program.
    First Responder Emergency Medical Communications.-- The 
Committee recognizes the need for reliable communications 
capabilities during emergencies that leave normal 
communications networks inoperable or overwhelmed. The 
Committee believes that S&T should continue its focus on the 
development of the National Emergency Communications Plan 
[NECP]. The Committee includes a $4,000,000 increase for this 
activity in fiscal year 2020 to allow S&T, in collaboration 
with the Office of Emergency Communications, to continue those 
projects aiding in the development of the NECP, demonstration 
of emergency medical communications in rural areas, and for 
creation and implementation of an interoperable data platform 
to augment public safety voice communications.
    Public Safety Wireless Communications.--The recommendation 
includes $13,700,000 for Public Safety Wireless Communication. 
Within this amount, $8,000,000 shall be for S&T to develop 
wideband radio frequency detection defense systems. The 
Committee recognizes S&T's existing initiatives in this area 
and encourages continued coordination with NUSTL to develop 
these systems.

                          UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS

    The recommendation includes $40,500,000 for University 
Programs, of which $37,103,562 is for Centers of Excellence, 
including the Coastal Resilience Center, which shall continue 
to leverage partnerships with top research and educational 
institutions. The Committee recognizes the importance of the 
Centers of Excellence program to generate basic and applied 
research that delivers innovative technologies to the Homeland 
Security Enterprise. The recommendation wholly maintains the 
established plan for Centers of Excellence despite the budget 
request's suggestion to reduce their funding by more than half 
to $18,350,000.

             Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office

    The Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction [CWMD] Office, 
as established through Public Law 115--387, leads the 
Department's efforts to develop and enhance CWMD programs and 
capabilities that defend against weapons of mass destruction 
and to combat bio-threats and pandemics.

                       COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The Committee recommends $424,658,000 for CWMD Office, 
which is $1,500,000 above the budget request amount and 
$10,239,000 below the fiscal year 2019 enacted level.

    Since all reorganizations of the CWMD Office have been 
completed, the Committee expects that the fiscal year 2021 
budget will contain regularized budget information, including 
an identifiable base budget aligned with the fiscal year 2020 
appropriation, a clear demonstration of adjustments to base, 
and program changes with complete justifications.
    The CWMD Office is directed to provide a report to the 
Committee no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this act on all research and development projects and partners 
for the last five completed fiscal years and the 
accomplishments related to such projects. The report shall also 
include a strategic plan for completing, maintaining, or 
initiating new research and development projects, along with a 
justification that such projects are filling a gap and are not 
duplicative of R&D from other partners. Finally, the report 
shall include a projection of R&D needs for the following 3 
years.

    Active Interrogation Systems.--The Committee is aware of 
the limits of passive detection systems to effectively detect 
special nuclear material, conventional explosives, and 
narcotics that can be smuggled though ports and transportation 
hubs and therefore recommends $1,500,000 for the research and 
development of an active neutron interrogation system. CWMD is 
directed to brief the Committee not later than 90 days after 
the date of enactment of this act on the accomplishments made 
with investments to date and what gaps in the capability still 
exists.
    Semiconductor Materials.--The Committee recognizes the 
importance of radiation detection technology in emergency 
response to enhance mission performance and save lives. The 
Committee understands that the development and deployment of 
highly efficient radiation detectors is necessary to adequately 
support proper identification and interdiction of radiological 
and nuclear threats. Therefore, the recommendation includes 
continued funding for research and development of new 
generation semiconductor materials.
    Detecting Future Biological Threats.--The Committee is 
aware of the potential threats to our Nation posed by the 
editing of genes to create new biological agents. Accordingly, 
it is critical for the Department to develop the necessary 
capabilities to identify, protect, and respond to these 
potential biological threats. Advances in neutron scattering 
research and associated data analytics provide an avenue by 
which the biodefense community can develop the necessary tools 
to identify threats posed by gene-edited biological agents. The 
Committee directs the CWMD Office to provide a report not later 
than 180 days after enactment of this act on how neutron 
scattering research and technologies, such as Cryo-Electron 
Microscopy, can be used to develop the tools to combat future 
biological threats.
    Bio-threats at Airports.--The CWMD Office is directed to 
brief the Committee not later than 30 days after the date of 
enactment of this act on current efforts to develop and deploy 
real-time, commercially-available, and cost-effective bio-
protection systems at airports to rapidly detect, identify, and 
mitigate the spread of aerosolized bio-pathogens. The briefing 
shall include a description of how the Office partners with 
relevant Federal agencies, private industry, and 
representatives of the commercial air transport system.

             (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS AND TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    Section 501. The bill includes a provision stipulating 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 stipulating 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 accounts with 15-day advance 
notification to the Committee. 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 
Committee should include a detailed table showing the proposed 
revisions at the account, program, project, and activity level 
to the funding and staffing FTE levels for the current fiscal 
year and to the levels required for the following fiscal year.
    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 a 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 Committee 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 that place human lives or property in imminent 
danger. To the extent that 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

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 budget request; 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; and requires the 
WCF to be paid in advance or reimbursed at rates that will 
return the full cost of each service. The WCF table included in 
the justification materials accompanying the budget request 
shall serve as the control level for quarterly execution 
reports submitted to the Committee not later than 30 days after 
the end of each quarter. These reports shall identify any 
activity added or removed from the fund.
    Section 505. The bill includes a provision stipulating that 
not to exceed 50 percent of unobligated balances recorded not 
later than June 30 from appropriations made for salaries and 
expenses in fiscal year 2020 shall remain available through 
fiscal year 2021, subject to reprogramming.
    Section 506. The bill includes a provision providing that 
funds for intelligence activities are specifically authorized 
during fiscal year 2020 until the enactment of an act 
authorizing intelligence activities for fiscal year 2020.
    Section 507. The bill includes a provision requiring 
notification to the Committee 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 Committee 5 full business days prior to announcing 
publicly the intention to make an award under certain grant 
programs. The 3-day notification requirement also pertains to 
task or delivery order awards greater than $10,000,000 from 
multi-year funds as well as for any sole-source grant awards.

no agency shall purchase, construct, or lease additional 
facilities for Federal law enforcement training without the 
advance approval of the Committees on Appropriations of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives.
    Section 509. The bill includes a provision stipulating that 
none of the funds provided by this act 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.
