                              INTRODUCTION

    The Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related 
Agencies Appropriations bill for fiscal year 2023 totals 
$44,775,000,000, $6,775,000,000 above the fiscal year 2022 
enacted level and $7,255,906,000 above the fiscal year 2023 
budget request.
    The amounts in the accompanying bill are reflected by title 
in the table below. References throughout this report to the 
enacted bill and the budget request refer to the fiscal year 
2022 enacted level and the fiscal year 2023 budget request 
unless otherwise stated.

                          Committee Oversight

    Members of Congress have provided considerable input in 
fashioning this bill. In total, 362 Members submitted 9,230 
programmatic and community project requests relating to 
multiple agencies and programs.
    The Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Subcommittee conducted eight oversight hearings this year to 
carefully review the programs and budgets under its 
jurisdiction. The Subcommittee held the following oversight 
hearings:
          Fiscal Year 2023 National Tribal Organizations Public 
        Witness Day--April 5, 2022
          Fiscal Year 2023 Regional Tribal Organizations Public 
        Witness Day--April 6, 2022
          Fiscal Year 2023 Member Day--April 7, 2022
          Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Request for the United States 
        Forest Service--April 27, 2022
          Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Request for the United States 
        Department of the Interior--April 28, 2022
          Fiscal Year 2023 Budget Request for the Environmental 
        Protection Agency--April 29, 2022

        Humanities--June 8, 2022
    In total, 24 individuals representing the Executive Branch, 
Congress, State, Tribal, and local governments, and the general 
public testified before the Subcommittee. In addition to those 
who testified in person, another 175 organizations, or 
coalitions provided written testimony for the hearing record 
which is publicly available online.

                             BIGHORN SHEEP

    The Committee is aware that the Forest Service and Bureau 
of Land Management (BLM) use the Western Association of Fish 
and Wildlife Agencies' occupied bighorn habitat maps, telemetry 
data, and recent bighorn observations in conducting Risk of 
Contact analysis and that risk of contact models are currently 
being run on a State-wide basis where sufficient data exists. 
The Committee expects the agencies to continue to share 
findings transparently and promptly with other Federal land 
management agencies, State and local governments, State 
wildlife agencies, and State and Federal animal health 
professionals, including the Agricultural Research Service, 
permittees, and stakeholders. This will ensure the inclusion of 
the most directly affected interests in a common understanding 
of the Risk of Contact analysis, the search for suitable 
alternative allotments, and the development of options for wild 
and domestic sheep. The Forest Service and BLM are further 
directed to continue to engage the Agricultural Research 
Service, research institutions, state wildlife agencies, and 
other scientific entities to ensure the best professional 
scientific understanding of the risk of disease transmission 
between domestic and bighorn sheep is known before making 
management decisions that impact permittees.

                  BIRD COLLISIONS ON FEDERAL PROPERTY

    Birds play an important role in ecosystems and North 
America has lost nearly 3 billion birds since 1970. This is a 
staggering loss in every biome because birds play important 
roles such as being pollinators or in controlling pests. 
Collisions with glass kill up to 1 billion birds per year in 
the United States. All agencies under the jurisdiction of this 
Act are directed to monitor visitor and nature centers and 
office buildings for bird collisions with glass to address bird 
collision risk. At a minimum, facilities identified as high-
risk should take low cost or no cost action, such as turning 
off interior lights at night or applying films or other 
adhesives to glass windows to reduce bird collisions. Every 
year more than 6 million bird fatalities occur at communication 
towers. The Committee supports efforts by the U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service to encourage communication tower owners to 
take simple actions like extinguishing non-flashing lights and 
using flashing LED lights, as well as the Service's 
collaboration with other Federal agencies to conserve migratory 
birds.

                    CARBON STORAGE ON FEDERAL LANDS

    The Committee notes that geologic storage of carbon dioxide 
provides an opportunity for carbon capture and removal projects 
that could reduce emissions and mitigate climate change, and 
encourages land management agencies, including the Bureau of 
Land Management and Forest Service, to evaluate carbon storage 
as a potential activity on public lands. The Committee reminds 
the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service of the 
direction in fiscal year 2022 to brief the Committee on the 
outcome of discussions with the U.S. Geological Survey and 
whether there have been any advancements made to develop a 
program.

                         CIVILIAN CLIMATE CORPS

    The Committee supports the Civilian Climate Corps (CCC). 
Funding provided in this recommendation will leverage work 
occurring in a variety of different agencies and maximize 
efforts to engage and mobilize a new generation of climate 
focused conservation work to revitalize public lands, waters, 
infrastructure, and communities. The Committee acknowledges the 
CCC expands longstanding partnership, apprenticeship, and youth 
engagement programs.

                  COLLABORATION ON WILDFIRE PREVENTION

    The Committee recognizes the important work in wildfire 
prevention for which the Forest Service and Bureau of Land 
Management are responsible. The Committee encourages the Forest 
Service and Bureau of Land Management to conduct more frequent 
fuel content and soil moisture testing in consultation with the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to ensure the 
government's ability to develop more accurate wildfire modeling 
and artificial intelligence solutions.

            CONTRACT SUPPORT COSTS AND TRIBAL LEASE PAYMENTS

    Payments for 105(l) Tribal lease costs directly resulting 
from decisions in the case of Maniilaq Ass'n v. Burwell in both 
2014 (72 F. Supp. 3d 227 (D.D.C. 2014)) and 2016 (70 F. Supp. 
3d 243 (D.D.C. 2016)) appear to create an entitlement to 
compensation that is typically not funded through discretionary 
appropriations. Instead, obligations of this nature are 
typically addressed through mandatory spending. Estimates for 
contract support costs and payments for section 105(l) Tribal 
lease costs continue to increase and have the potential to 
increase even further. Uncertainty surrounding estimates has 
inserted a high level of unpredictability into the budget 
process placing the Committee in the difficult position where 
rapidly escalating requirements are negatively impacting the 
ability to use discretionary appropriations to support core 
tribal programs, including health, education and construction 
programs, or provide essential fixed cost requirements. In 
addition, because contract support costs and payments for 
Tribal leases are addressed through discretionary spending, all 
other programs funded under the Interior, Environment, and 
Related Agencies appropriations bill are impacted. The costs 
are growing exponentially, necessitating a long-term funding 
strategy to address them. The Committee notes the 
Administration's proposal to reclassify these costs for the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs as an appropriated entitlement in 
fiscal year 2023 and an mandatory entitlement for the Indian 
Health Service. The Department of the Interior and the 
Department of Health and Human Services are directed to 
continue working with the House and Senate committees of 
jurisdiction, the Office of Management and Budget, and the 
Committees on Appropriations to formulate long-term accounting, 
budget, and legislative strategies to address this situation, 
including discussions reclassifying these funds as an 
appropriated entitlement.

                           CORAL REEF HEALTH

    The Committee remains concerned that an unprecedented coral 
disease outbreak especially along the Florida Reef Tract, has 
left America's Great Barrier Reef on the brink of functional 
extinction, posing a significant obstacle to coral reef 
restoration efforts. Coral reef tracts serve as a major 
economic driver for the State of Florida and the U.S. 
territories and are the most biologically diverse ecosystems in 
the ocean. The Committee recognizes the restoration work of the 
Department of the Interior and the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration, as well as state and territorial 
government partners, to support coral monitoring, research, and 
restoration efforts in highly impacted and high priority coral 
reef habitats in U.S. waters, including in Biscayne National 
Park and Dry Tortugas National Park, and further recommends the 
diversion of additional resources to support the state and 
local partners conducting this work on a daily basis.

                            CUSTOMER SERVICE

    The Committee directs all agencies funded by this Act to 
comply with title 31 of the United States Code, including the 
development of their organizational priority goals and outcomes 
such as performance outcome measures, output measures, 
efficiency measures, and customer service measures, as well as 
developing standards to improve customer service and 
incorporation of the standards into the performance plans.

                   EDUCATIONAL AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS

    The Committee strongly supports academic internships, 
partnerships, and educational and outreach programs of the 
agencies funded through this bill and encourages them to ensure 
that their efforts reach the widest possible audience 
including, but not limited to, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, 
Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Tribal 
Colleges and Universities, as appropriate.

                        FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

    The explanatory statement that accompanied the Commerce, 
Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022 
directed the Attorney General to ensure implementation of 
evidence-based training programs on de-escalation, the use-of 
force, and the protection of civil rights, that are broadly 
applicable and scalable to all Federal law enforcement 
agencies. Several agencies funded by this Act employ Federal 
law enforcement officers and are Federal Law Enforcement 
Training Centers partner organizations. These agencies are 
again directed to consult with the Attorney General regarding 
the implementation of these programs for their law enforcement 
officers. The Committee further directs such agencies to submit 
a report to the Committee on their efforts relating to such 
implementation not later than 90 days after consultation with 
the Attorney General. In addition, the Committee continues to 
direct such agencies to the extent that they are not already 
participating, to consult with the Attorney General and the 
Director of the FBI regarding participation in the National 
Use-of-Force Data Collection. The Committee further directs 
such agencies to submit a report to the Committee not later 
than 180 days after enactment of this Act on their efforts to 
so participate.

                       FIRE RESILIENT COMMUNITIES

    The Committee supports public-private partnerships that 
support and promote fire resilient communities including 
efforts to encourage the design, construction, and retrofitting 
of fire resilient residential homes and commercial buildings. 
Collaborative efforts between private industry, university-
based wildfire researchers, community-based organizations and 
local communities are making notable progress in developing 
construction techniques and identifying building materials to 
actively mitigate fire risk in areas susceptible to 
catastrophic wildland fire, including the wildland urban 
interface. The Committee strongly encourages efforts at the 
state and local level, particularly within high-risk fire 
areas, to support the use of non-combustible American made 
construction materials to support and promote fire hardened and 
resilient communities.

                   FORMERLY INCARCERATED FIREFIGHTER

    The Committee directs the Department of the Interior and 
the Forest Service to continue to explore the possibility of 
allowing formerly incarcerated individuals to qualify for 
Federal wildland firefighting positions. Within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Committee further directs the 
Department of the Interior and the Forest Service to provide a 
joint briefing to the Committee on the limitations to expanding 
the hiring of formerly incarcerated individuals including 
limitations from frequent travel in federal firefighting roles.

                             GIANT SEQUOIAS

    The Committee is concerned that over the last two years, 
catastrophic wildfires in the State of California have killed 
up to nineteen percent of all giant sequoias in the Sierra 
Nevada. These trees play an important role in forest health and 
support tourism in communities near or adjacent to the groves. 
The Committee strongly encourages the Forest Service, National 
Park Service, and the Bureau of Land Management to use all 
existing authorities, and when appropriate, using the best 
available science and forest management practices to remove 
dead and dying non-sequoia trees from giant sequoia groves and 
take other actions, as appropriate, to reduce the risk of 
wildfire-related mortality of giant sequoias. Furthermore, 
within one year of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs 
the Secretary, in conjunction with the Secretary of 
Agriculture, the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition, and local 
stakeholders, to develop a strategy to protect giant sequoias 
and groves from catastrophic fire.

                      GREAT AMERICAN OUTDOORS ACT

    At the end of this report, the Committee has included 
allocation of projects pursuant to the Great American Outdoors 
Act (Public Law 116-152).

                    LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND

    With the August 4, 2020, enactment of the Great American 
Outdoors Act (Public Law 116-152), Congress provided a 
permanent appropriation of $900,000,000 per year from the Land 
and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). The Act also mandated that 
account allocations and detailed project information be 
proposed by the administration each year through the 
president's annual budget submission, and that such 
allocations, following review by the Committee, may be modified 
through an alternate allocation. A detailed table showing the 
LWCF allocation by agency, account, activity, and project, 
including lists of specific federal land acquisition projects 
and Forest Legacy Program projects, including Community Project 
Funding acquisition projects, is included at the end of this 
report.
    The Committee encourages the National Park Service to 
prioritize funding under State and Local Assistance Programs to 
support the establishment of greenways, parks, trails, and 
other outdoor recreation facilities in honor of America's 
veterans.
    The Committee is concerned about significant delays with 
the purchase of inholdings within the Boundary Waters Canoe 
Area Wilderness (BWCA) in the Superior National Forest in 
Minnesota using the private forestland exchange alternative to 
allow the Forest Service to acquire land owned by the state 
school trust with the added benefit of conserving valuable 
forestlands outside of the Superior National Forest. Given the 
significant LWCF investment and prior Committee statements in 
support of this effort, the Committee directs the Forest 
Service to expeditiously find a solution with the Tribes, State 
and non-profit partner toward the purchase and exchange of the 
state lands in the BWCA.
    The Committee includes bill language allowing the National 
Park Service to use up to seven percent of the funds provided 
for State Conservation Grants as matching grants to support 
State program administrative costs. These funds will provide 
states with additional support to cover administrative costs 
associated with the program, which have increased in recent 
years. The National Park Service is to apportion these funds to 
the States, District of Columbia and insular areas on the basis 
of need as matching grants to support state administrative 
costs. Within 60 days of enactment of this Act, the Committee 
expects the Department to report on the number of grants made 
and the amount of each grant made.
    The National Park Service is directed to assess the 
feasibility of acquiring key parcels on the east rim of Little 
River Canyon National Preserve, and to report back to the 
Committee on any new authorizations needed for such 
acquisitions.
    The Committee is hearing from agency partners about 
unreasonable appraisal delays and a lack of communication by 
the Office of Valuation Services. Now that the Land and Water 
Conservation Fund is fully funded, spending the annual 
appropriation efficiently on quality projects at fair market 
value from willing sellers will be key to the program's 
continued success. The Committee is aware the Department is 
reviewing the root causes of these delays as well as options to 
address problems including the possibility of returning some 
appraisal or related functions to the bureaus. The Committee 
directs the Department to report back to the Committee with the 
results of this review within 90 days of enactment of this Act.
    The Bonneville Shoreline Trail, once completed, will 
stretch from the Idaho border to Nephi, Utah, over 280 miles in 
length. This popular trail currently spans over 100 miles and 
becomes more valuable as the Salt Lake City's population 
continues to grow and increase demand for access to 
recreational opportunities. Various entities have worked for 
decades to complete the trail, including construction across 
public lands and acquisition from willing sellers using private 
and LWCF dollars. The Committee supports these efforts to 
complete the trail and urges the Forest Service to consider 
prioritizing LWCF funds for the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
    Additional instruction for Fish and Wildlife Service 
Habitat Conservation Plan Land Acquisition is provided later in 
this report under the Cooperative Endangered Species 
Conservation Fund heading.

                       MARIJUANA ON PUBLIC LANDS

    The Committee is aware that trespassers illegally grow 
marijuana on public lands in California. These unlawful 
activities harmfully impact the public, water, soil, and 
wildlife. The Committee supports Forest Service efforts to 
develop tools to detect and eradicate grow sites. The Committee 
directs the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to 
continue to cooperate with state, local, and tribal governments 
on survey, reclamation, and prevention efforts to the maximum 
extent possible. The Committee also supports the Department of 
the Interior's use of drones to conduct statewide remote-
sensing surveys of federal public lands to identify grow sites 
and allow for the development of cost estimates for 
reclamation.

                     MONARCH BUTTERFLY POPULATIONS

    The Committee is aware the United States Fish and Wildlife 
Service determined that listing the monarch as endangered or 
threatened is warranted but precluded by higher priority 
listing actions. The monarch is now a candidate under the 
Endangered Species Act and the Service will review its status 
annually until a listing decision is made. The Committee 
supports the historic Candidate Conservation Agreement with 
Assurances recently forged to create and maintain habitat for 
monarch butterflies and other pollinators on energy and 
transportation lands. The Committee has provided funding within 
the Department of the Interior to assist with monarch recovery.

                    PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXES (PILT)

    The Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program provides 
compensation to local governments for the loss of tax revenue 
resulting from the presence of Federal land in their county or 
State. The recommendation includes full funding for PILT for 
fiscal year 2023 in Section 114 of Title I General Provisions.

                            PRESCRIBED BURNS

    The Committee encourages the Department of the Interior and 
the Forest Service to continue utilizing prescribed burns as a 
forest management tool in the western United States. Within 180 
days of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs the 
Department of the Interior and the Forest Service to submit a 
report detailing the barriers to implementing prescribed burns 
in the western United States, possible solutions, and an 
estimate of fire damage in 2021 that could have potentially 
been avoided had the agencies implemented a more robust 
prescribed burn regime.

                             PUBLIC ACCESS

    The Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service 
are directed to notify the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations in advance of any proposed project specifically 
intending to close an area to recreational shooting, hunting, 
or fishing on a nonemergency basis of more than 30 days.

                        REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

    Reprogramming guidelines were codified in Division D of 
P.L. 116-94 and outlined in the accompanying explanatory 
statement. Bill language and direction is maintained to protect 
the integrity of this Committee.

                          TRIBAL CONSULTATION

    The Committee notes with concern the frustrations heard 
from Tribes about agency failures to conduct ``true'' and 
``meaningful'' government-to-government consultation. Although 
the level of frustration varies by agency and event, the common 
theme is that while most consultations solicit input and 
feedback from Tribes, the communication is one way and fails to 
return feedback to Tribes. Tribes often report that they don't 
know whether and how their input is considered. On decisions 
made in consultation with Tribes, the Committee expects 
agencies funded in this bill to publish decision rationale in 
the context of and in reasonable detail to the Tribal input 
received during consultation.

                       VACANT GRAZING ALLOTMENTS

    The Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service are 
directed, to the greatest extent practicable, to make vacant 
grazing allotments available to a holder of a grazing permit 
when lands covered by the holder of the permit or lease are 
unusable because of drought or wildfire.

                  TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR


                       Bureau of Land Management


                   MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $1,281,940,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     1,427,959,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     1,416,126,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +134,186,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       -11,833,000
 

    The Bureau of Land Management (Bureau) was created in 1946, 
to steward the nation's public lands for the use and enjoyment 
of present and future generations. Today the Bureau administers 
more land than any other Federal agency by managing and 
conserving resources for multiple use and sustained yield on 
approximately 245 million surface acres or one-tenth of 
America's land base and 700 million acres of the subsurface 
mineral estate (30% of the United States). These lands and 
minerals are found in every state and include biomes such as 
forests, mountains, rangelands, arctic tundra, and deserts.
    A significant focus in fiscal year 2023 is building back 
capacity and addressing the Bureau's loss of staff and 
institutional knowledge that occurred under the previous 
Administration and impacts the Bureau's ability to achieve 
their mission. The Bureau is to provide quarterly briefings to 
the Committee on its progress in rebuilding staff capacity and 
filling critical vacancies such as in human resources and 
contracting.
    The Committee recommends $1,416,126,000 in new budget 
authority for the Management of Lands and Resources 
appropriation. This amount is $134,186,000 above the enacted 
level and $11,833,000 below the budget request. The 
recommendation assumes the enacted level of funding for all 
programs, provides fixed costs as requested, and specifies any 
program changes accepted from the budget request. Program 
changes, instructions and details follow below and in the table 
at the end of this report. Additional instructions are included 
in the front of this report.
    Land Resources.--The Committee recommends $304,467,000 for 
Land Resources, $28,007,000 above the enacted level and 
$5,039,000 above the budget request.
    Rangeland Management.--The Committee recommends 
$112,793,000 which includes program increases of $300,000 to 
build capacity and support partnerships with Tribes, States, 
and local governments to advance natural and cultural resource 
conservation and protection and $185,000 for fleet enhancement. 
Funding for National Scenic and Historic Trails has been 
reduced from this account and moved to a new subactivity in 
Recreation Management. The Committee directs the Bureau to 
prioritize the analysis and review of grazing permits, 
especially those permits not meeting baseline rangeland health 
standards, and directs the Bureau to use the additional 
$2,000,000 above the budget request provided in this 
recommendation, for analysis and administration of grazing 
permit renewals.
    Forestry Management.--The Committee recommends $12,204,000 
which includes program increases of $542,000 to build capacity 
and support partnerships with Tribes, States, and local 
governments to advance natural and cultural resource 
conservation and protection, $1,000,000 for conserving and 
restoring lands including identifying and managing for carbon 
sinks, and $28,000 for fleet enhancement.
    Executive Order 14072 outlines the importance of mature and 
old-growth forests on Federal lands for the health, prosperity, 
and resilience of communities and the role they play in 
reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Committee supports the 
Bureau of Land Management's collaboration with the Forest 
Service to define, identify, and complete an inventory of old-
growth and mature forests on Federal lands, coordinate 
conservation and wildfire risk reduction, and develop policies, 
with public comment, to institutionalize climate-smart 
management and conservation strategies that address threats to 
these Federal lands.
    Cultural Resource Management.--The Committee recommends 
$23,370,000 which includes program increases of $791,000 to 
build capacity and support partnerships with Tribes, States, 
and local governments to advance natural and cultural resource 
conservation and protection, $6,000 for fleet enhancement, and 
a general program increase of $2,509,000. Funding for National 
Scenic and Historic Trails has been reduced from this account 
and moved to a new subactivity in Recreation Management.
    Wild Horse and Burro Management.--The Committee recommends 
$156,100,000 which supports implementation of the May 2020 plan 
and includes $11,000,000 for administration of and research on 
reversible immunocontraceptive fertility control and includes 
$206,000 for fleet enhancement. The Committee restates the need 
for the Wild Horse and Burro Task Force to be actively engaged 
and to leverage resources to protect the welfare of the wild 
horses and burros and conserve and restore the range for the 
habitat it provides to other species and the ecosystem services 
that are essential to protect human and species health and 
well-being in the face of climate change. The Committee directs 
the Task Force to review the Bureau's efforts in fertility 
control, examine how to increase off-range holdings that can 
sustain year-round grazing by many horses, and review the 
Adoption Incentive Program to make sure there are no weaknesses 
that would jeopardize the welfare of these animals. Staffing is 
critical to effectively administer this program and the Bureau 
is directed to ensure the program is at full staffing capacity 
especially in the areas of contracting. The challenges of this 
program are intensified by the historic drought conditions 
being experienced in the West. The Committee directs the Bureau 
to develop plans that ensure they can administer fertility 
control, conduct targeted removals from the most heavily and 
impacted population areas, expand long-term off range holding 
and any alternatives, and increase adoptions. To better 
accomplish these goals, the Bureau should establish public/
private partnerships, to include working with veterans and wild 
horse organizations, to implement a robust immunocontraceptive 
fertility control program. The Bureau must also ensure that all 
removals are conducted in strict compliance with the Bureau's 
Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program and any population growth 
suppression strategies must be proven, safe, and humane. The 
strategy will not include any sale or actions that result in 
the destruction of healthy animals, which continues to be 
prohibited by this bill. The Bureau is directed to provide 
quarterly updates to the Committee on the allocation of 
resources, achievement of performance metrics, input from the 
Departmental task force, efficacy of identifying and relocating 
horses to different Herd Management Areas, and to discuss any 
proposed changes to the current course of action.
    Wildlife and Aquatic Habitat Management.--The Committee 
recommends $229,787,000 for Wildlife and Aquatic Habitat 
Management, $32,118,000 above the enacted level and $9,360,000 
below the budget request.
    Wildlife Habitat Management.--The Committee recommends 
$159,680,000 which includes $71,000,000 for sage grouse 
conservation activities, $37,000,000 for threatened and 
endangered species, $20,600,000 for plant conservation and 
restoration, $2,947,000 to build capacity and support 
partnerships with Tribes, States, and local governments to 
advance natural and cultural resource conservation and 
protection, and $245,000 for fleet enhancement. Funding for 
National Scenic and Historic Trails has been reduced from this 
account and moved to a new subactivity in Recreation 
Management. The Bureau is directed to brief the Committee 
within 60 days of enactment of this Act on its analysis of 
developing a biodiversity data platform including the estimated 
total cost.
    Aquatic Habitat Management.--The Committee recommends 
$70,107,000 which includes program increases of $1,518,000 to 
build capacity and support partnerships with Tribes, States, 
and local governments to advance natural and cultural resource 
conservation and protection, $7,000,000 for improving water 
resources, $3,000,000 for restoring landscape connectivity, and 
$94,000 for fleet enhancement. Funding for National Scenic and 
Historic Trails has been reduced from this account and moved to 
a new subactivity in Recreation Management.
    Recreation Management.--The Committee recommends 
$89,544,000 for Recreation Management, $10,616,000 above the 
enacted level and $3,092,000 below the budget request. The 
recommendation provides for a new subactivity, National Scenic 
and Historic Trails. Increases above enacted include $1,960,000 
to build capacity and support partnerships with Tribes, States, 
and local governments to advance natural and cultural resource 
conservation and protection, $151,000 for fleet enhancement, 
and $903,000 for National Wild and Scenic Rivers.
    The Bureau is also encouraged to ensure that the public is 
adequately informed regarding the protection of lands, as well 
as open and closed routes for trails and recreational 
activities, for the areas protected by Public Law 116-9. To 
help inform the public, the Department should properly post 
signage and conduct regular reviews to ensure that signage is 
maintained, in good readable condition, and to replace any 
damaged or unreadable signs in a timely manner.
    National and Scenic Historic Trails.--To increase 
transparency, the recommendation has consolidated all funding 
for National and Scenic Historic Trails into a new subactivity 
under Recreation Management and recommends $12,000,000. Within 
available funds the Bureau is encouraged to provide additional 
resources for the Iditarod, Pacific Crest, Arizona, and 
Continental Divide National Scenic Trails, the Arizona Trail 
Indigenous Place Name project, and the construction of a hiking 
trail from Elko, Nevada to the California Trail Center. The 
Bureau is directed to brief the Committee on unit level 
allocations within 60 days of enactment of this Act.
    Energy and Minerals.--The Committee recommends $242,195,000 
for Energy and Minerals, $25,660,000 above the enacted level 
and $7,657,000 below the budget request, which includes 
$336,000 for fleet enhancement. This funding level supports the 
Bureau's sustainable and responsible energy approach which 
includes renewable energy resources and strategic minerals that 
economically benefit the Nation and states by providing revenue 
sources where the energy source is developed and supports the 
Bureau's multiple-use mandate.
    The Bureau has a significant role in promoting 
environmentally sound development of renewable energy on public 
lands and the recommendation provides $49,713,000, the budget 
request, for Renewable Energy. The Bureau is urged to increase 
staff for permitting and realty activities. The Committee 
supports the Bureau's establishment of Renewable Energy 
Coordination Offices (RECOs) to prioritize renewable energy 
permitting and improve permitting coordination for renewable 
energy projects. The Committee requests a briefing on how RECOs 
have streamlined the permitting process and communication of 
standard operating procedures and best practices between the 
RECOs.
    The recommendation provides $27,400,000 for Alaska legacy 
well remediation to maintain program capacity and continue 
progress toward cleanup of the next cluster of legacy wells in 
need of remediation. The report, ``National Petroleum Reserve 
in Alaska: 2020 Legacy Wells Strategic Plan,'' is appreciated, 
as is the Bureau's continued commitment to coordinate with 
State and local regulators. A report shall be submitted to the 
Committee on these efforts within 60 days of enactment of the 
Act.
    Realty and Ownership Management.--The Committee recommends 
$87,385,000 for Realty and Ownership Management, $5,361,000 
above the enacted level and $1,496,000 below the budget request 
which includes $132,000 for fleet enhancement and $2,842,000 
for restoring landscape connectivity. The Committee encourages 
the Bureau to adequately fund the realty and lands division in 
district offices such as the BLM Southern Nevada District.
    Resource Protection and Maintenance.--The Committee 
recommends $187,816,000 for Resource Protection and 
Maintenance, $51,676,000 above the enacted level and $47,000 
above the budget request. The recommendation includes increases 
of $8,000,000 to modernize assessment, inventory, and 
monitoring; $5,685,000 for improving water resources; 
$11,000,000 for application of natural resources data planning 
to support siting, and $243,000 for fleet enhancement. The 
recommendation maintains $10,000,000 in resource management 
planning for sage grouse conservation activities and 
$28,565,000 for Resource Protection and Law Enforcement as 
requested.
    The Committee supports the focus of addressing hardrock 
mine reclamation and the importance of synergy between the 
Bureau and the Energy Community Revitalization Program. The 
recommendation includes increases of $19,503,000 as requested 
for remediation of abandoned mine land sites and no less than 
$4,500,000 for addressing water quality at abandoned mine land 
sites.
    Transportation and Facilities Maintenance.--The Committee 
recommends $79,345,000 for Transportation and Facilities 
Maintenance, $310,000 above the enacted level and $2,990,000 
above the budget request. No funding is provided for fleet 
enhancement. Funding for National Scenic and Historic Trails 
has been reduced from this account and moved to a new 
subactivity in Recreation Management.
    Workforce and Organizational Support.--The Committee 
recommends $176,587,000 for Workforce and Organizational 
Support, $10,712,000 above the enacted level and equal to the 
budget request. The recommendation includes the increases 
requested in the budget except only $74,000 is provided for 
fleet enhancement. The Committee supports the Administration's 
efforts on the diversity, inclusion and compliance initiative, 
Justice 40, and the Foundation for America's Public Lands.
    Bill language has been included providing $1,000,000, as 
requested, for the Foundation for America's Public Lands to 
assist the Foundation in establishing an office and meeting 
initial administrative, project, and other expenses. The 
Committee directs that project funding in fiscal year 2023 
should be prioritized to assist the Bureau with the challenge 
of wild free-roaming horses and burros. The Committee expects 
to be kept informed about how appropriated funds are allocated 
and obligated in fiscal year 2023.
    National Conservation Lands (formerly National Landscape 
Conservation System).--The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for 
National Conservation Lands, $20,726,000 above the enacted 
level and $1,696,000 above the budget request which includes 
$1,058,000 to build capacity and support partnerships with 
Tribes, States and local governments to advance natural and 
cultural resource conservation and protection, $13,000 for 
fleet enhancement, and $9,255,000 to expand management and 
operational capacity.
    The Committee urges Federal agencies seeking to withdraw 
Bureau-managed lands to include the counties of jurisdiction as 
cooperating agencies pursuant to 40 C.F.R. Sec. 1508.5 in the 
environmental analysis process and directs the Bureau not to 
approve such mineral withdrawals without appropriate levels of 
local government consultation.
    Communication Site Management.--The Committee recommends 
$2,000,000 for communications site management, equal to the 
budget request. This amount is reduced by $2,000,000 in 
offsetting collections.
    Mining Law Administration.--The Committee recommends 
$39,696,000 for mining law administration, equal to the budget 
request. This amount is offset by $71,000,000 in offsetting 
collections.
    Additional Guidance.--
    Aquifer Recharge.--The Committee encourages the Bureau to 
work with the state of Idaho to provide appropriate access to 
federal lands for the purposes of recharge projects.
    Cadastral Survey.--The Committee directs the Bureau to 
continue executing the survey requirements of the Hawaiian Home 
Lands Recovery Act, Public Law 104-42 as soon as public health 
conditions allow. The Bureau shall consult with Homestead 
Beneficiary Associations, as defined under 43 C.F.R. Sec. 47.1, 
when conducting these surveys.
    Diversity Statistics.--The Bureau is encouraged to consider 
the feasibility of adding a diversity reporting requirement to 
commercial filming projects on Bureau-managed lands.
    National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.--The Committee 
appreciates the long-standing partnership between the National 
Fish and Wildlife Foundation, a congressionally chartered 
institution, and several bureaus within the Department, 
particularly the Bureau of Land Management. The Committee 
directs the Bureau to continue this partnership and agrees 
that, at the Bureau's discretion, funds made available under 
this appropriation may be used for critical conservation 
activities, pursuant to 16 U.S.C.3701 et seq., under the same 
term and conditions as outlined under this heading in Title I 
of Division G of Public Law 115-31, the fiscal year 2017 
Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Act.
    Off-Highway Vehicle Pilot Program.--The Committee supports 
equitable opportunities for recreation events on public land 
and is concerned about reports that smaller groups may be 
disadvantaged by the Bureau's 50-hour cost recovery threshold 
for Special Recreation Permits (SRP's). The Committee shares 
the Bureau's goal of using independent event monitors to reduce 
a significant workload and cost to Bureau field offices and the 
American taxpayer which translates into reduced costs to SRP 
applicants. The Bureau is recognized for attempting an 
independent monitoring pilot (IMP) program in 2016 and for 
pursuing other ways to reduce the monitoring costs that are 
passed along to event sponsors. The Committee also acknowledges 
the Bureau's work with the Desert Advisory Council to initiate 
an OHV subgroup to bring stakeholders together to focus on OHV 
recreation. These efforts have not resolved stakeholder 
concerns as the Committee continues to hear from groups eager 
to work with the Bureau to re-establish an IMP program. Clear 
requirements for an IMP and processes by which interested 
independent individuals could be recruited and trained, 
including the development of a training curriculum, to provide 
those services is an essential step. These requirements and 
processes, along with continued collaboration with the Desert 
Advisory Council and up-front development of general guidance 
and procedures for Bureau State and field offices to implement 
an IMP, can increase chances of success and address any 
inequities to recreation opportunities that exist. The Bureau 
is directed to re-double its efforts to work with groups in the 
off-highway vehicle community to develop an IMP program.
    Plant Conservation Activities.--The Committee continues to 
support the Bureau's Plant Conservation Program and the 
National Seed Strategy and no less than $25,000,000 across the 
Bureau should be directed towards this effort to enhance this 
activity. The program is to be operated consistent with prior 
years. Funding provided in Public Law 117-58 to the Office of 
the Secretary in fiscal year 2023 for a national revegetation 
effort, including the National Seed Strategy, will supplement 
this funding. The Committee expects the Bureau to work to lead 
the interagency Native Plant Materials Development program, the 
Seeds of Success program, the Plant Conservation Alliance, 
several regional native plant materials development programs, 
and related research and programmatic activity. The Committee 
also continues to support the implementation of the national 
seed strategy to ensure there is a variety of seeds to 
accomplish immediate and long-term restoration goals.
    Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA).--The 
Committee reiterates that the funds from this account are to be 
used for activities authorized under Public Law 105-263.
    Water Quality.--The Committee encourages the Bureau to work 
with Blaine County and interested community stakeholders to 
address the increased sediment buildup in the Hulen Meadows 
Pond by examining collaborative solutions to restoring the pond 
to adequate health through dredging and other cost-effective 
measures.
    Bill language is included for a new offsetting collection 
for onshore oil and gas inspection fees. A companion Title I 
General Provision, Onshore Oil and Gas Inspection Fee, is also 
included in the bill.

                   OREGON AND CALIFORNIA GRANT LANDS

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $117,283,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................       128,696,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................       125,049,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................        +7,766,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        -3,647,000
 

    The Committee recommends $125,049,000 for the Oregon and 
California Grant Lands appropriation which includes $1,920,000 
to support partnerships with Tribes, States, and local 
governments to advance natural and cultural resource 
conservation and protection, $103,000 for fleet enhancement, 
$2,330,000 for conserving and restoring lands to combat climate 
change, and no less than $11,000,000 for Species Conservation. 
Funding for National Wild and Scenic Rivers is maintained at 
the enacted level and the recommendation supports the budget 
request for Western Oregon information and resource data 
systems, transportation and facilities maintenance, 
construction and acquisition, and national monument.
    Fire protection.--The Committee directs the Bureau to 
refrain from any actions that would withdraw the Bureau from 
its fire protection agreement with the State of Oregon.
    Timber targets.--The Bureau is directed to regularly report 
its timber sale accomplishments for sales that have been sold 
and awarded rather than merely offered for sale. The Bureau is 
expected to report these activities in a manner consistent with 
the U.S. Forest Service and only count awarded volume.

                           RANGE IMPROVEMENTS

    The Committee recommends an indefinite appropriation of not 
less than $10,000,000 to be derived from public lands receipts 
and Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act lands grazing receipts, as 
requested.

               SERVICE CHARGES, DEPOSITS, AND FORFEITURES

    The Committee recommends an indefinite appropriation 
estimated to be $30,000,000 for Service Charges, Deposits, and 
Forfeitures. The appropriation is fully offset through 
collections.

                       MISCELLANEOUS TRUST FUNDS

    The Committee recommends an indefinite appropriation 
estimated to be $26,000,000.

                       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

    The Committee recommends inclusion of the Administrative 
Provisions proposed in the budget request and notes that they 
are long-standing items that facilitate efficient operations.

                United States Fish and Wildlife Service

    Originating in 1871, the United States Fish and Wildlife 
Service (Service) is the oldest federal conservation agency, 
and the only agency in the federal government, whose primary 
responsibility is management of biological resources for the 
American public. The Service plays an important role in 
connecting Americans with nature and in maintaining and 
protecting the Nation's natural resources for present and 
future generations. This requires strict enforcement of 
important and foundational environmental laws such as the 
Endangered Species Act (ESA), Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), 
Marine Mammal Protection Act, Lacey Act, and international 
treaties like the Convention on International Trade in 
Endangered Species (CITES).
    The Service manages more than 830 million acres of lands 
and waters which includes 567 National Wildlife Refuges located 
in every State and many territories, seven National Monuments, 
and waterfowl production areas in 212 counties. The Service 
also operates one historic National Fish Hatchery and 70 
National Fish Hatcheries that work with states and tribes to 
propagate fish to bolster or re-establish self-sustaining 
populations in the wild and mitigate impacts associated with 
Federal water projects.

                          RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $1,451,545,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     1,745,122,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     1,649,753,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +198,208,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       -95,369,000
 

    The Committee recommends $1,649,753,000 for Resource 
Management, $198,208,000 above the enacted level and 
$95,369,000 below the budget request. The recommendation 
assumes the enacted level of funding for all programs, provides 
fixed costs as requested, and specifies any program changes 
accepted from the budget request. Program changes, instructions 
and details follow below and in the table at the end of this 
report. Additional instructions are included in the front of 
this report.
    Ecological Services.--The recommendation includes 
$354,832,000 for Ecological Services to protect landscapes, 
fish, wildlife, and plants by administering the Endangered 
Species Act (ESA) and related activities, $77,423,000 above the 
enacted level and $1,330,000 below the budget request. The 
recommendation provides additional resources to strengthen 
efforts to conserve our natural resources for future 
generations and to ensure the protection of important 
ecosystems such as the Chesapeake Bay, the Everglades, and the 
California Bay-Delta. Program elements for this activity follow 
below.
    Listing.--The recommendation includes $25,946,000 for ESA 
listings and related activities. Through the listing process, 
the best scientific and commercial information on a species is 
analyzed so a determination can be made on whether the survival 
of a species requires the protections afforded by the ESA and 
the recommendation provides funding to increase capacity. Bill 
language is continued as requested to protect the rest of the 
Resource Management account from listing-related judicial 
mandates. The Committee supports the Service's efforts with 
local and regional stakeholders to develop voluntary solutions 
to conserve targeted species.
    Planning and Consultation.--The recommendation includes 
$142,807,000 for timely evaluations and permitting of 
development projects to ensure species are protected while 
allowing for development that contributes to economic growth 
and job creation. This recommendation provides $18,354,000 for 
increased support for environmental permitting for clean energy 
to stem the effects of climate change, $1,500,000 for pesticide 
consultations, $4,000,000 for NEPA permitting and $109,322,000 
for general program activities such as building field capacity 
and focusing on technical assistance to Federal agencies and 
project proponents and to work with States, counties and 
private landowners to develop planning grants and create 
Habitat Conservation Plans; to enhance the Integrated Planning 
and Conservation (IPaC) system; and to ensure adequate 
implementation of the ESA and the integration of monitoring 
data into management decisions.
    The Committee acknowledges that the Service has issued 
guidance to field offices and will be updating the Habitat 
Conservation Plan (HCP) Handbook on streamlining ESA section 
7(a)(2) consultations on federal actions that authorize, fund, 
or carry out a covered activity that affects listed species in 
an approved HCP which covers those species as permitted under 
section 10(a)(1)(B).
    Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plans balance 
resource use and conservation and foster collaboration with 
other stakeholders. An example is the Multiple Species Habitat 
Conservation Plan in Clark County, Nevada which covers 78 
species, including the threatened Mojave Desert Tortoise. The 
Committee is supportive of the goal of this plan which is the 
long-term conservation and recovery of those species and their 
habitat.
    Conservation and Restoration.--The recommendation includes 
$53,724,000 for Conservation and Restoration. The 
recommendation provides $3,390,000 for Coastal Barrier 
Resources Act; $12,785,000 for environmental response and 
restoration; $7,220,000 for marine mammals with a particular 
focus on manatees; $7,471,000 for the National Wetlands 
Inventory, and $19,108,000 for candidate conservation. The 
Committee directs the Department to involve the Service in any 
decision made by the Bureau of Land Management on energy 
leasing where leasing will impact species.
    The Committee is concerned about Unusual Mortality Events 
(UME) of threatened and endangered species, particularly among 
the Florida manatees. The Committee encourages the Service to 
study the causes and preventative measures of the recent UME 
among the Florida manatees.
    Recovery.--The recommendation includes $132,355,000 for ESA 
recovery activities. The recommendation provides $6,750,000 for 
State of the Birds to respond to the urgent needs of critically 
endangered birds that, due to climate change, now face 
extinction; $12,000,000 for Recovery Challenge grants; 
$2,000,000 for Prescott Grants; $1,000,000 for wolf livestock; 
and $102,373,000 for general program activities which includes 
funding at the enacted level for the Upper Colorado River 
Endangered Fish Recovery Program, San Juan Basin Recovery 
Implementation Plan, the Virgin River Resource Management and 
Recovery Program, the Florida grasshopper sparrow, Lahontan 
Cutthroat Trout recovery efforts, and provides up to $2,000,000 
to assist with addressing sylvatic plague which threatens 
endangered black footed ferrets and supports collaboration with 
Native American Tribes and other partners.
    The 2019 United Nations report outlined that nature is 
declining and that up to one million plant and animal species 
are at risk of extinction. The President's Budget echoes that 
concern with its emphasis on protecting biodiversity and 
highlighting the importance of restoring and maintaining 
healthy ecosystems and ecosystem services to protect human and 
species health and well-being. Foundational environmental laws 
are critical tools in ensuring biodiversity is maintained for 
future generations. The Committee strongly supports that the 
basis for any listing decisions must be the best available 
science and data. The Committee recognizes states like Michigan 
and its Department of Natural Resources for their demonstrated 
support for keeping the Kirtland's warbler recovered and 
healthy as well as the efforts of Tennessee and Kentucky 
regarding the Cumberland sandwort. For recovered and de-listed 
species under State authority, the Service must abide by the 
direction outlined in these foundational environmental laws as 
they work with the States to continue to conserve and protect 
the well-being of these species so that re-listings under the 
Endangered Species Act aren't necessary.
    Recovery Challenge grants are to be used to develop and 
update recovery plans and implement high priority recovery 
actions as prescribed in recovery plans to recover federally 
listed species. Actions should include, but are not limited to, 
genetically sound breeding, rearing, and reintroduction 
programs. Longstanding partnerships, including for the northern 
aplomado falcon and California condor, are to be funded at no 
less than their current levels, and partner contributions 
should be no less than their current amounts and provide at 
least a 50:50 partner match, which may include in-kind 
services. The remaining funds should be dedicated to new 
partnerships and should require at least a 50:50 partner match, 
which may include in-kind services. Unless an affected State is 
a partner on the project, no funds may be awarded to a project 
until the project partners have consulted with such State. The 
Service is expected to continue to work with the National Fish 
and Wildlife Foundation to administer a portion of the program 
in full consultation with the Service and subject to Service 
approval of all grants and cooperative agreements. This 
approach allows Service funds to be leveraged and expands 
recovery actions. The Service is also expected to administer a 
portion of the program itself in support of partnerships to 
develop and implement recovery outlines, update recovery plans, 
and implement recovery actions benefiting species for which the 
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is not engaged in 
conservation efforts. None of the funds may be used for 
indirect costs. The Service is to provide a report to the 
Committee 120 days after enactment of this Act which shall 
include the allocation of funds between the Service and the 
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and an evaluation of this 
collaboration; a breakdown of funding by project which contains 
appropriated and matching funds and the estimated projection 
completion year; and the amount of highly ranked but unfunded 
project proposals.
    Recovery activities are essential for critically endangered 
species at the brink of extinction because of climate change. 
The Committee directs the Service to incorporate climate change 
adaptation actions and activities into new and revised recovery 
plans and recovery implementation strategies, such as with the 
mosquito vector of avian pox and malaria in the revised 
Hawaiian Forest Birds recovery plan. The Service is directed to 
brief the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act on 
how it is prioritizing recovery actions that improve a species' 
resiliency, redundancy, and representation so that a species 
can withstand the impacts of climate change and show direct 
evidence that these actions are incorporated into new and 
revised recovery plans.
    The Committee directs the Service to continue to provide 
the required reports on the recovery of threatened and 
endangered species and any additional information on 
expenditures as required by Section 18 of the ESA.
    The Committee supports the Service's conduct of five-year 
status reviews for 35 southeastern species of endangered or 
threatened fish, wildlife, and plants as mandated by the 
Endangered Species Act and directs the Service to provide 
updates on these five-year status reviews.
    Habitat Conservation.--The recommendation for this activity 
includes $84,373,000 for voluntary, non-regulatory habitat 
conservation partnerships with public and private landowners, 
of which $69,897,000 is to implement the Partners for Fish and 
Wildlife Act and $14,476,000 is for the Coastal Program. This 
recommendation is $13,042,000 above the enacted level and 
$1,000,000 above the request. The recommendation includes 
$59,587,000 for general program activities in Partners for Fish 
and Wildlife to provide technical and financial assistance to 
landowners interested in restoring and enhancing wildlife 
habitat on their land. The recommendation provides $3,250,000 
for nutria eradication and notes that additional funding for 
nutria eradication is provided in the National Wildlife Refuge 
System. As of 2018, the Service has stated that all the known 
nutria populations have been removed from over a quarter 
million acres of the Delmarva Peninsula and efforts continue to 
verify eradication and remove any residual animals. Despite 
this success, nutria is a problem in other parts of the country 
and the funding provided allows the Service to work with 
partners to achieve control and eradication of all nutria 
populations and to help partners restore land damaged by 
nutria. The Service is directed to prioritize lands adjacent to 
refuges, specifically along the West Coast and the Gulf Coast. 
The Service is also encouraged to focus Coastal Program funding 
on projects that address the threat of invasive species and 
climate change.
    The Committee recognizes that the Service cannot accomplish 
its mission without non-regulatory and voluntary collaborative 
conservation efforts with private landowners. The Committee 
encourages the Service to continue to pursue collaborative 
species conservation that leverages in-kind land access and 
expertise from private landowners. Existing partnerships 
demonstrate the vital role of private working ranches and 
forests in conserving at-risk and listed species and allow the 
Service to leverage collaboration with private landowners, 
State agencies, and other stakeholders on research and 
practices that achieve important wildlife conservation 
outcomes.
    National Wildlife Refuge System.--The recommendation 
includes $573,597,000 for the National Wildlife Refuge System, 
$54,836,000 above the enacted level and $24,288,000 below the 
budget request. Program elements for this activity follow 
below.
    Wildlife and Habitat Management.--The recommendation 
includes $281,749,000 which includes $17,925,000 for Invasive 
Species Strike Teams for teams to focus on high priority 
invasive species problems, such as exotic invasive plants and 
to eradicate or control nutria, before they develop more of a 
stronghold in the environment. The recommendation also provides 
$29,924,000 for Inventory and Monitoring which includes no less 
than $8,000,000 for monarch butterflies, and no less than 
$1,000,000 for chronic wasting disease; and $2,500,000 for 
Marine National Monuments which provides a total of $1,000,000 
for the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National 
Monument of which no less than $700,000 is for education and 
research. The recommendation provides $225,315,000 for general 
program activities to assist the Service in delivering 
conservation on a landscape scale and supporting the 
Administration's efforts on America the Beautiful, wildlife 
disease prevention, and pollinator conservation.
    The Committee understands the use of native plant materials 
increases resilience, reduces invasive species, and creates a 
more effective deterrent to fire. The Service has also informed 
the Committee that it favors management that restores or mimics 
natural ecosystem processes using native seed sources and 
native plants in ecological restoration. Within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Service is directed to brief the 
Committee on the use of native plants in refuge restoration and 
the guidelines it has in place to maintain existing levels of 
biological integrity, diversity, and environmental health. The 
Committee also supports the continued collaboration of Service 
staff with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 
U.S. Geological Survey, and other partners to monitor coral 
disease in refuge and monument waters. This recommendation 
maintains the enacted level of funding to support refuge 
biologists, management activities, and coral disease studies.
    Since fiscal year 2017, the Service has been responsive to 
Congressional direction to institute signage on any national 
wildlife refuge where trapping occurs. In fiscal year 2020, the 
Service was to update the information posted on the website and 
physical premises of any refuge to note if body-gripping traps 
were on the premises. To further protect the public, the 
Committee encourages the Service to conduct a review of this 
signage and ensure the signage is in good, readable condition, 
and to replace any damaged or unreadable signs within 30 days 
of identification. The Service is to continue the reporting 
requirement to provide trapping information to the Committee on 
an annual basis. The Service is directed to brief the Committee 
on the evaluation they were directed to undertake of trapping 
practices on Service lands that was to be done in collaboration 
with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Wildlife Services on 
their findings including information regarding alternative non-
lethal methods and equipment that may be used to remove 
invasive species or native pest species that behave like 
invasive species within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
    Regional refuges, such as the Silvio O. Conte National Fish 
and Wildlife Refuge, effectively work with local communities 
and landowners to achieve collaborative conservation. The 
Committee encourages the Service to continue these efforts and 
to provide the highest level of funding available to these 
refuges to build upon this exemplary work. The Committee also 
recognizes that refuge sites, while not physically connected, 
often contain important ecological and cultural value when 
connected as part of a regional wildlife footprint. Numerous 
refuges serve the various migratory flyways through an 
integrated migratory and ecological footprint across the Refuge 
System.
    The Committee encourages the Service to update commitments 
and funding contributions established in its 2016 agreement 
with neighboring landowners for the conservation and management 
of fish, wildlife, and their habitats at Palmyra Atoll. The 
Committee supports continuing this successful public/private 
conservation partnership, particularly the management of 
invasive species, climate change threats, ongoing native forest 
restoration efforts, the provision of critical wildlife 
habitat, and the benefit of the public.
    Visitor Services.--The recommendation includes $87,527,000. 
The recommendation provides $11,000,000 for Urban Wildlife 
Conservation, an increase of $5,000,000 above the enacted 
level, and $74,527,000 for general program activities that will 
enhance recreational opportunities such as hunting, fishing, 
and watching wildlife which includes $3,000,000 to help the 
Service mobilize the next generation of conservation and 
climate resilience workers and maximize training opportunities 
with the goal of improving America's land, waters, and 
infrastructure. With a national wildlife refuge located within 
a one-hour drive of nearly every major metropolitan area, this 
increase for urban refuges enables the Service to improve 
access and engage new audiences in outdoor recreation and 
conservation. The Service is encouraged to work with partners 
to support year-round environmental education for youth and 
adults of all ages living in urban settings.
    Refuge Maintenance.--The recommendation includes 
$154,365,000 which includes $500,000 for fleet enhancement, 
$26,850,000 for annual maintenance and $68,235,000 for 
maintenance support. The Committee recognizes the Service's 
effort to prioritize maintenance and restoration of units 
within the refuge system that were damaged by Hurricanes Sandy 
and Irene. For trails projects, the Committee understands 
funding from this account is supplemented with funding from the 
Federal Lands Transportation Program, which comes from the 
Highway Trust Fund, and from the Great American Outdoors Act. 
The Service is directed to include a current and projected 
deferred maintenance backlog in its annual budget request.
    Conservation and Enforcement.--The recommendation includes 
$185,247,000 for Conservation and Enforcement, $20,526,000 
above the enacted level and $16,125,000 below the budget 
request. Program elements for this activity follow below.
    Migratory Bird Management.--The recommendation includes 
$57,849,000 for Migratory Bird Management, including 
$33,793,000 for Conservation and Monitoring which includes 
$3,200,000 for clean energy and $733,000 for urban bird 
treaties. The Committee encourages the Service to continue its 
efforts to work with landowners to reduce black vulture 
predation on livestock and to manage double crested cormorants. 
The recommendation provides $6,125,000 for Permits to improve 
permitting for the future, $591,000 for the Federal Duck Stamp 
Program and $17,340,000 for North American Waterfowl Management 
Plan/Joint Ventures (JV). The JV program is essential for 
addressing the conservation needs of migratory birds by 
leveraging matching contributions from partners.
    Where certain bird species such as Canadian geese and 
cormorants overwhelm ecosystems near urban centers, the Service 
is encouraged to continue to support control activities of 
individuals, corporations, municipalities, states, tribes, and 
other Federal agencies such as public health control orders or 
special double-crested cormorant permits to assure public 
health as well as regional or environmental health.
    Law Enforcement.--The recommendation includes $98,283,000 
for Law Enforcement which includes $83,558,000 for general 
program activities a portion of which will be directed toward 
wildlife law enforcement capacity and port inspection capacity. 
As in prior years, this increase may be used as necessary to 
supplement inspections. The Committee notes the important role 
the Service plays in protecting wildlife and plant resources 
through enforcement of Federal laws, such as the Lacey Act, 
combating illegal wildlife trafficking, and understanding the 
nexus with trafficking and close contact with wildlife that can 
transmit pathogens and impact human health. The Service is to 
brief the Committee within 180 days of enactment of this Act on 
the roles of Law Enforcement and International Affairs in how 
they combat global trafficking; assist with building capacity 
to improve law enforcement in other countries; detect and deter 
illegal import and export of wildlife; and are improving 
information sharing and enhancing capabilities for stopping 
high-risk illegal shipments of wildlife into the United States.
    International Affairs.--The recommendation provides 
$29,115,000 for International Affairs. This funding level 
provides $1,000,000 for the Theodore Roosevelt Genius Prize, 
and $8,700,000 for replacing the Service's out-of-date permit 
processing infrastructure with a modernized Service-wide 
electronic permit application and processing system, as 
requested. The primary focus for the Service in fiscal year 
2023 must be to complete the epermitting system as outlined in 
the President's Budget request. For the fiscal year 2024 budget 
request, the Committee encourages the Service's Chief 
Information Officer to consider how the epermitting system, 
once developed, can be expanded consistent with direction in 
the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act of 2018 and 
Executive Order 14058, to include permits in other bureaus 
within the Department of the Interior.
    The Committee acknowledges the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service's International Affairs (IA) Program works worldwide to 
conserve fish, wildlife, plants, and the habitats they depend 
on at a landscape level, and to maintain these ecological 
processes beyond our borders for future generations. Through 
these aims, IA leads U.S. and international efforts to protect, 
restore, and enhance the world's diverse wildlife and their 
habitats, focusing on species of global concern. Funding also 
supports strong oversight of international conservation grants 
from the agency including safeguards that have been instituted 
to protect these funds from being used in violation of U.S. 
law. As long-term success for conserving wildlife and wild 
places relies on building the capacity in countries for 
managing their own protected areas and species, Indigenous 
Peoples and communities should be included. Within the amount 
provided, the Committee encourages the Service to support 
projects that foster partnerships with universities or other 
institutions that are educating the current and next 
generations of conservationists. Within 45 days of enactment of 
this Act the Service is to brief the Committee on how it plans 
to achieve this.
    The Committee recognizes the Service's work with Honduras, 
El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico to conserve priority species 
and ecosystems, including partnering with the U.S. Agency for 
International Development (USAID) to support community forestry 
concessions and tropical forest conservation in the Maya 
Biosphere Reserve, and urges the continuation of these 
international partnerships in fiscal year 2023 as well as the 
timely disbursement of funding. The Committee directs the 
Service to provide no less than the enacted level for these 
grants to promote research, training, and development of best 
practices for international conservation, and to submit a 
report within 60 days of the enactment of this Act on these 
efforts.
    The Committee reiterates its concern about the Service's 
current policy of evaluating applications for importing 
trophies for elephants and lions on a case-by-case basis and 
whether its analysis adequately determines whether a country 
has proper safeguards in place to protect species vulnerable to 
poaching. In fiscal year 2020, the Service was directed to 
reevaluate its current policy and analyze how targeted 
investments and technical assistance to the exporting 
countries' conservation programs would impact the survival of 
elephants and lions, improve local communities, and sustain 
species populations. The Service has yet to comply with the 
directive to brief the Committee within 60 days of enactment. 
Therefore, the Committee includes bill language that prohibits 
the issuance of any permit for the import of a sport-hunted 
trophy of an elephant or lion taken in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, or 
Zambia. The limitation described does not apply in the case of 
the administration of a tax or tariff. The Secretary is 
directed to review the memo issued March 1, 2018 establishing 
the current policy that enhancement findings for such imports 
will be made on a case-by-case basis and to analyze and report 
to the Committee, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, on 
the best path forward to determine whether the country where 
the animal is to be permitted adequately provides for the 
conservation and monitoring for that species, specifically 
whether that country has a fully funded and implemented 
management plan for that species that is based on the best 
available science and addresses existing threats to the 
species, provides significant conservation benefits, and 
coordinates with adjacent countries to protect transboundary 
populations, and ensures the take does not contribute to the 
decline of the species.
    The Committee directs the Service to provide a briefing 
within 120 days of enactment of this Act on the scope of work 
and the estimated cost to assess the prevalence of elephant 
hide products in the United States and the risk to African 
elephant populations associated with hide harvesting.
    Fish and Aquatic Conservation.--The recommendation includes 
$235,178,000 for Fish and Aquatic Conservation, $14,352,000 
above the enacted level and $25,236,000 below the budget 
request. The Service is expected to continue to work with 
partners and the public to manage fish and other aquatic 
resources for the benefit of the American people. Program 
elements for this activity follow below.
    National Fish Hatchery System Operations.--The 
recommendation provides $73,472,000 for National Fish Hatchery 
Systems Operations, which includes $1,200,000 for the Aquatic 
Animal Drug Approval Partnership; $4,700,000 for the Pacific 
Salmon Treaty; and maintains the enacted level for the Great 
Lakes Consent Decree, the national wild fish health survey 
program, mass marking salmonids in the Pacific Northwest, and 
Klamath Restoration. Klamath Restoration funding is 
supplemented by funding provided in Public Law 117-58 as 
outlined in the Service's spend plan contained in the fiscal 
year 2023 budget justification. The recommendation also 
provides $60,367,000 to sustain activities such as expanding 
capabilities to ensure the health of aquatic species, advancing 
aquatic conservation, and supporting the recovery of federally 
listed threatened or endangered aquatic species and restoring 
at-risk species. The Committee supports the budget request's 
reallocation of $5,000,000 for Warm Springs Fish Health Center 
to all Fish Health and Technology Centers. This funding will be 
housed in general program activities.
    The recommended funding level provides the resources 
required to sustain current hatchery operations. The Service 
may not terminate operations or close any facility of the 
National Fish Hatchery System. No production programs may be 
reduced or terminated without advance, informal consultation 
with affected States and Tribes. The Service is expected to 
continue funding mitigation hatchery programs via reimbursable 
agreements with Federal partners. Future agreements should 
include reimbursement for production, facilities, and 
administrative costs. The Service is expected to ensure that 
its costs are fully reimbursed before proposing to reduce or 
redirect base funding.
    The Committee encourages the Service to carry out sampling 
of re-introduced lake sturgeon and monitor the survival of 
juvenile lake sturgeon after they are stocked to determine 
whether the stocking rates should be increased to meet the 
target stock level.
    Maintenance and Equipment.--The recommendation provides 
$32,635,000, which includes $300,000 for fleet enhancement, 
$20,137,000 for deferred maintenance, and $10,589,000 for 
annual maintenance. The Service should continue to allocate 
this funding to facilities with the most severe health and 
safety deficiencies across the System as a whole, rather than 
by region. All other funds should continue to be allocated as 
in prior years and should include mitigation hatcheries as 
needed to supplement reimbursable funds. The Service is 
directed to include a current and projected deferred 
maintenance backlog in its annual budget request.
    Aquatic Habitat and Species Conservation.--The 
recommendation includes $129,071,000 for Aquatic Habitat and 
Species Conservation. A discussion of the program components 
follows below.
    Habitat Assessment and Restoration.--The recommendation 
includes $47,320,000, of which: $200,000 is for the Truckee 
River Operating Agreement; $7,164,000 for the National Fish 
Habitat Action Plan; and maintains the enacted level for the 
Chehalis Fisheries Restoration Program. The recommendation 
provides $13,500,000 to implement the Delaware River Basin 
Conservation Act; $2,750,000 for Klamath Basin Restoration 
Agreement; and $18,598,000 for the National Fish Passage 
Program; all programs which are supplemented by funding 
provided in Public Law 117-58 as outlined in the Service's 
spend plan contained in the fiscal year 2023 budget 
justification. The Committee encourages the Service to continue 
to work with partners to address their concerns about securing 
the non-Federal matching dollars required for eligibility to 
receive funding through the Delaware Watershed Conservation 
Fund. The Service should explore solutions and convene partners 
to develop approaches for addressing this concern and identify 
other sources of funds that can be used as a match. Continued 
collaboration with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to 
acquire technical assistance is also encouraged. The Service is 
encouraged to continue its collaborative work with partners 
through the National Fish Passage Program on the Warren Glen 
Dam removal project. The Service is directed to continue to 
work with Tribal partners on fish passage technologies and fish 
restoration activities.
    Population Assessment and Cooperative Management.--The 
recommendation provides $37,031,000, which provides $1,000,000 
to implement the Great Lakes Consent Decree and $3,000,000 for 
the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act. The Great 
Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act is supplemented with 
funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The 
recommendation does not accept the proposed reductions and 
maintains no less than the enacted funding level for the Lake 
Champlain Sea Lamprey program, the Pacific Salmon treaty, and 
the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission, and funds 
them at the enacted level, and provides $18,064,000 for general 
program activities. The Committee remains supportive of the 
annual Memorandum of Agreement with the Great Lakes Fishery 
Commission to provide funding for sea lamprey treatment, 
assessment, and program administration. The Service is 
encouraged to continue to work with the State of Maryland, 
NOAA, and other partners on eradication of invasive northern 
snakehead and to finalize their plan for eradication in the 
Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The Service is to brief the Committee 
on this effort within 120 days of the enactment of the Act. The 
Service is directed to use $1,000,000 from within available 
funds for this effort.
    The Committee is concerned about the status of American 
shad in the Potomac River and other systems. The Service is 
directed to use up to $750,000 from within available funds to 
increase capacity to conserve species such as American shad.
    Aquatic Invasive Species.--The recommendation includes 
$44,720,000, of which $4,400,000 is for National Invasive 
Species Act (NISA) activities, as requested, which includes 
$2,834,000 for State and Interstate plans and $1,566,000 is for 
NISA coordination; and $5,588,000 is to implement subsection 
5(d)(2) of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act which is supplemented 
by funding provided in Public Law 117-58 as outlined in the 
Service's spend plan contained in the fiscal year 2023 budget 
justification. The Committee continues funding to aid the 
Service in working to prevent Invasive carp from entering the 
Great Lakes, and to control and eradicate them from the 
Mississippi River, its six sub-basins, the Upper Mississippi 
River, Missouri River, Arkansas-Red White River, Lower 
Mississippi River, Tennessee Cumberland River, and Ohio River, 
and Kentucky Lake, and Lake Barkley. This recommendation 
includes $26,000,000 for Invasive carp, of which $4,000,000 is 
for contract fishing; $1,011,000 is for Sea Lamprey 
administration costs; $500,000 is for hydrilla, eel and milfoil 
invasive grasses; $2,776,000 is for prevention; and $3,500,000 
is to prevent the spread of quagga and zebra mussels in the 
West of which $1,250,000 is for NISA state and Interstate plan. 
The Service is encouraged to pursue technologies to aid in the 
elimination, mitigation, or control of aquatic nuisance species 
and invasive species that do not result in the addition of 
chemical agents to the ecosystem that can lead to harmful by-
products such as algal blooms. In fiscal year 2023, no less 
than $6,000,000 of the funding provided in Public Law 117-58 to 
the Office of the Secretary for invasive species should be 
directed toward the National Early Detection and Rapid Response 
Framework and the Rapid Response Fund to supplement Service 
funding.
    The $4,000,000 provided for contract fishing will create 
jobs while advancing efforts to combat invasive carp by 
expanding and perfecting the combined use of contract fishing, 
including on the Chicago Aera Waterways System, and deterrents 
to extirpate invasive carp, including grass carp, where already 
established, pursuant to individual State laws and regulations 
and as called for in management plans. Contract fishing has 
proven to be an extremely effective management tool. The 
Service shall continue to work with its State partners to 
gather data to analyze the impacts of contract fishing to 
control abundance and movement of invasive carp, including 
grass carp, and to make every effort to make public 
announcements for contract fishing. The Service is to make sure 
adequate resources are provided to support the efforts of the 
Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee and is encouraged 
to maintain a Service employee as the Mississippi Interstate 
Cooperative Resource Association (MICRA) Coordinator and to 
assist the MICRA Chair and MICRA Executive Committee with 
various tasks.
    The Committee recognizes the importance of understanding 
the current economic situation as it relates to the removal and 
uses of Invasive carp. In fiscal year 2022, the Committee 
directed the Department of Interior to hold a one-day forum 
modeled on the March 25, 2021 Department of the Interior oil 
and gas forum to review how Invasive carp that are removed 
through contract fishing or by other means are being utilized. 
The Service is directed to brief the Committee within 120 days 
of enactment of this Act on current and potential uses, 
including human consumption and as a potential source for bait, 
and to maintain a link on their website to this forum.
    Cooperative Landscape Conservation.--The Committee 
recommendation merges this activity into Science Support and 
creates a new subactivity, Science Partnerships.
    Science Support.--The recommendation provides $49,620,000 
for the Science Support program.
    Landscape-scale conservation efforts are critical to 
restoring functioning ecosystems that provide multiple economic 
and societal benefits to local communities. The Committee 
concurs with the Service's determination that the best approach 
to address the complexity of challenges that result from 
conservation on a landscape level is to move away from 
Landscape Conservation Cooperatives as the primary vehicle to 
work with Federal, State, Tribal and other organizations to 
develop shared conservation priorities and instead to support a 
range of partnerships that implement locally led conservation 
and accomplish similar goals and objectives. The Committee also 
recognizes the Service's Science program is instrumental in 
facilitating landscape conservation through comprehensive 
investments that address complicated, multi-jurisdictional 
conservation challenges from a science-based landscape 
perspective.
    To better reflect the direction of this program and to 
strengthen the foundation of supporting partners' collaborative 
landscape conservation efforts, the Service is directed to 
combine Cooperative Landscape Conservation and Science 
Applications into one subactivity under Science Support titled 
Science Partnerships. The recommendation provides $40,648,000 
for Science Partnerships to fund collaborative conservation and 
science at a landscape-scale to meet the needs of partners. The 
recommendation provides $8,972,000 for the Service Science 
subactivityto continue funding Service climate and science 
needs.
    The Service should continue to co-lead and implement the 
North American Bat Monitoring Program with other Federal, 
State, and non-governmental partners. The Service is also 
expected to partner with Cooperative Research Units whenever 
possible. This funding level maintains the enacted level for 
ecosystem restoration of the Gulf Coast as well as includes 
$3,500,000 for research related to white-nose syndrome in bats. 
The recommendation also provides $15,000,000 for the Chesapeake 
WILD grant program for a new call for proposals to achieve 
Chesapeake WILD Program goals of restoring water quality and 
habitats in the Chesapeake Bay. The Service is reminded of the 
directive in fiscal year 2022 to brief the Committee on the 
framework, staffing, criteria for grants, and monitoring 
established for this new grant program. Acknowledging the 
findings of the report from the Intergovernmental Science-
Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services that 
1,000,000 species are threatened with extinction, the 
recommendation provides an additional $2,000,000 above the 
enacted level for research on Monarch butterflies. The 
Committee acknowledges that monarchs and pollinators also 
benefit from other Service investments in landscape 
conservation and for other species that share similar habitat 
needs.
    General Operations.--The recommendation includes 
$166,906,000 for General Operations programs, $11,257,000 above 
the enacted level and $21,515,000 below the budget request. 
This funding level provides $31,833,000 for Central Office 
Operations which includes the requested funding increases for 
the Diversity Office and the Native American Coordination 
Office; $51,457,000 for Management and Administration; 
$46,224,000 for Servicewide Bill Paying; $7,032,000 for the 
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation; $27,060,000 for the 
National Conservation Training Center; and $3,300,000 for 
Aviation Management.
    Everglades.--The Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife 
Refuge and Conservation Area was created to protect one of the 
last remaining grassland and longleaf pine savanna landscapes 
in eastern North America while securing water resources for 
seven million people in south Florida. The Committee continues 
its support for collaborative efforts to protect, restore, and 
conserve habitats for one of the greatest ecological treasures 
of the United States. The recommendation provides no less than 
the enacted level, across multiple programs for Everglades 
restoration.

modernization. For line-item construction, the Service is 
expected to follow the project priority list in the table 
below.
    When a construction project is completed or terminated and 
appropriated funds remain, the Service may use those balances 
to respond to unforeseen reconstruction, replacement, or repair 
of facilities or equipment damaged or destroyed by storms, 
floods, fires, and similar unanticipated natural events.
    Bill language has been included which authorizes funding to 
be used for modernization of field communication capabilities.

    The mission of the National Park Service (Service) is to 
preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and 
values of the national park system for the enjoyment, 
education, and inspiration of this and future generations. 
Established in 1916, the National Park Service has stewardship 
responsibilities for the protection and preservation of the 
heritage resources of the national park system. The system, 
consisting of 423 separate and distinct units, is recognized 
globally as a leader in park management and resource 
preservation. The national park system represents much of the 
finest the Nation has to offer in terms of natural beauty and 
wildlife, historical and archeological relics, and cultural 
heritage. Through its varied sites, the National Park Service 
attempts to explain America's history, interpret its culture, 
preserve examples of its natural ecosystems, and provide 
recreational and educational opportunities for U.S. citizens 
and visitors from all over the world. In addition, the National 
Park Service provides support to Tribal, local, and State 
governments to preserve culturally significant, ecologically 
important, and public recreational lands.

level and equal to the budget request. The amounts recommended 
by the Committee compared with the budget estimates by activity 
are shown in the table at the end of this report. The 
recommendation provides fixed costs and funding for new and 
critical responsibilities, as requested.
    Additional funding guidance is provided below.
    Resource Stewardship.--The Committee recommends 
$530,931,000 for resource stewardship. The recommendation 
provides $5,300,000 for the Partnership Wild & Scenic Rivers 
program, $6,500,000 for Quagga and Zebra Mussel Programs, and 
$18,856,000 for the National Trails System.
    The recommendation provides $9,143,000 for the National 
Networks for activities, including grants. Within this amount, 
the African American Civil Rights Network is funded at the 
requested level of $5,384,000 and the National Underground 
Railroad Network to Freedom is funded at $2,505,000.
    Everglades Restoration.--The Committee recommends 
$11,661,000 for the Everglades Restoration Program. The 
Committee notes the substantial progress made toward 
restoration of the Everglades ecosystem and continues to 
support this multi-year effort to preserve one of the great 
ecological treasures of the United States. As restoration 
efforts continue, it is encouraged that the northern headwaters 
of the Everglades be given special consideration.
    Additionally, given potential impacts to the Comprehensive 
Everglades Restoration Plan, the Committee encourages the 
Service to consult with the U.S. Air Force as the Department of 
Defense considers plans to expand non-military aviation 
operations at the Homestead Air Reserve Base.
    Visitor Services.--The Committee recommends $301,913,000 
for Visitor Services. The National Capital Area Performing Arts 
Program is funded at no less than the enacted level.
    Every Kid Outdoors Program.--The John D. Dingell, Jr. 
Conservation, Management and Recreation Act reauthorized the 
Every Kid Outdoors program through 2026. This program provides 
U.S. fourth graders and family members with free access to over 
2,000 federal lands and waters. Within the funds provided for 
Visitor Services, the Service should aim to use no less than 
$25,000,000 to support the work of this program. This funding 
will support activities such as distributing information and 
resources to make it easy for teachers and families to identify 
nearby public lands and waters, providing transportation 
support to schools with the greatest financial need, and 
providing educational materials. Furthermore, the Service is 
encouraged to launch targeted programs for underserved 
communities and children with disabilities.
    Global Positioning System Modernization.--The 
recommendation provides $1,500,000 for the sustainment of 
recently acquired Global Positioning System (GPS) data 
collection devices used by the Service for facilities planning, 
lands administration, visitor safety, and infrastructure 
protection. The Committee is aware that the NPS requires 
ongoing sustainment of the Service's field data collection 
devices to include cyclic hardware and software refresh to 
comply with the Department's Information Technology security 
requirements. The funds provided will allow the Service to 
maintain compliance on field data collection devices. Within 
appropriate procurement requirements, the NPS is encouraged to 
procure additional devices from U.S. manufacturers.
    National Park Foundation.--The recommendation includes 
$5,000,000 for the National Park Foundation, equal to the 
enacted level.
    Additional Guidance.--The following additional direction 
and guidance is provided with respect to funding provided 
within this account:
    Amache National Historic Site.--The recommendation includes 
the requested funding for the newly authorized Amache National 
Historic Site, which was one of ten incarceration sites 
established by the War Relocation Authority during World War II 
to detain Japanese Americans who were forcibly removed from 
their communities on the West Coast.
    America's First Frontier.--The Committee urges the Service 
to advance interpretive efforts at existing Service sites and 
in collaboration with other Federal, State, and local agencies, 
including other bureaus within the Department of the Interior, 
to detail the start of westward expansion through the Northwest 
Territory as Americas First Frontier, the territories west of 
the Ohio River that opened for settlement pursuant to the 
northwest Ordinance.
    Blackstone Valley National Heritage Corridor.--The 
Committee continues the fiscal year 2021 enacted directive 
regarding cooperative agreements with the local coordinating 
entity for the Blackstone Valley National Heritage Corridor.
    Civil Rights Sites.--The Committee emphasizes the 
importance of the ongoing work to preserve and highlight the 
sites and stories associated with securing civil rights for all 
Americans, especially those in historically marginalized 
groups. The Committee further recognizes the emergence of many 
sites significant to these historically marginalized groups and 
encourages the Service to properly recognize, preserve, and 
maintain these sites.
    Diversity Reporting Requirements for Special Use Permits.--
The Committee continues to recognize the Service's role in 
facilitating special use permits for film projects on its 
lands. The Committee encourages the Service to explore 
opportunities to incorporate diversity and inclusion 
requirements as part of the special use permit process.
    El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail.--The 
Committee encourages the Service to emphasize and increase 
collaborations with local non-profit organizations to support 
research and renewal efforts of the El Camino Real de los Tejas 
National Historic Trail.
    Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Lake Mead National 
Recreation Area.--The significant threat that quagga mussel 
infestations pose to the health of the Colorado River ecosystem 
and its tributaries, as well as non-federal waterways, is 
concerning. The Service is directed to continue supporting 
quagga control projects at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area 
and Lake Mead National Recreation Area at not less than the 
enacted level to support research and product improvements for 
a mobile watercraft tracking system that could be utilized by 
the NPS and State Wildlife Agencies.
    Great Falls Park.--The Committee notes the success of 
George Washington Memorial Parkway collaboration with U.S. Park 
Police officers in managing traffic at the entrance of Great 
Falls Park in Virginia on busy weekends and holidays. Prior to 
the implementation of this traffic management, traffic would 
frequently block access to nearby residences, preventing 
residents, their guests, deliveries, and emergency services 
from reaching these homes in a timely manner. The Committee 
encourages the George Washington Memorial Parkway and U.S. Park 
Police to continue collaborating on these services.
    Hoh Indian Tribe Evacuation Route.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of ensuring that the Hoh Indian Tribe 
has a functional tsunami emergency evacuation route. The 
Service is directed to work with the Hoh Indian Tribe to 
initiate necessary discussions, planning, and compliance 
efforts within 120 days of the enactment of this act for an 
evacuation route that could allow for small vehicular 
evacuation, including identifying any specific land parcels 
that would require redesignation under the law and to provide 
to the Committee a date by when a comprehensive plan will be 
completed.
    Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Office.--The 
Committee is aware of the work the Natural Resource Stewardship 
and Science Office does to leverage science capacity with 
programs such as Research Learning Centers, Cooperative 
Ecosystem Studies Units, Climate Science Centers, and other 
academic, nonprofit, and private entities. The Service is 
encouraged to continue the work of this important program.
    Outreach.--The Committee recognizes that the Service has 
taken steps to increase outreach, make parks more accessible, 
and increase recruitment within minority schools and 
communities. The Committee directs the Service to continue with 
these efforts and to develop partnerships and programs with 
Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities, and other Minority Serving Intuitions that 
contribute to the mission of the National Park Service. The 
Service is directed to complete and submit to the Committee on 
Appropriations the study required by House Report 116-100 
within 60 days of enactment of the Act.
    Partnership Wild & Scenic Rivers.--The Committee recognizes 
the effectiveness of the Partnership Wild & Scenic Rivers 
Program in fulfilling its core mission to preserve resources, 
provide for visitor enjoyment and protection, operate and 
maintain facilities, and manage and administer the national 
parks. Upon authorization and once funding becomes available, 
the Service is expected to study the eligibility and 
sustainability of including the Kissimmee for possible 
inclusion in the Wild & Scenic Rivers System.
    Plastic Waste Reduction.--The Committee awaits the plan 
directed by House Report 117-83.
    Resource Stewardship.--The recommendation includes funding 
for the Natural Resources Conservation Initiative, which will 
help the Service respond to the urgent landscape-scale needs of 
critically endangered forest birds with habitats in national 
parks. These species face increased threats and imminent 
extinction from non-native mosquitoes that carry avian malaria 
and other pathogens that have been exacerbated by climate 
change.
    Visitation.--As the Service develops funding estimates for 
sites within the National Park System, the Committee encourages 
the Service to consider how annual visitation trends may impact 
operations at each park, among other factors.
    World War II Interpretation.--The Committee recognizes the 
importance of the interpretive story at the World War II 
Memorial as a national focal point for a message of 
perseverance and hope at a defining moment in American history. 
The Service is encouraged to include innovative storytelling at 
the memorial, which incorporates video and collections with 
related WWII sites.

                    United States Geological Survey

    Originating in 1879, the United States Geological Survey 
(USGS or Survey), is the Nation's largest water, earth, and 
biological science and civilian mapping agency and the primary 
Federal source of science-based information on ecosystems, land 
use, energy and mineral resources, natural hazards, water use 
and availability, and updated maps and images of the Earth's 
features available to the public. As the sole science agency 
for the Department of the Interior, the Survey's scientific 
information forms a basis for important plans and decisions 
about resource management, emergency management, and public 
health. The Survey works in partnership within Interior and 
across the government as well as with States, Tribes, local 
jurisdictions, universities, and the private sector. The 
diversity of Survey scientific expertise enables the Survey to 
provide the best available science and scientific information 
to resource managers and planners, emergency response 
officials, and the public.

Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $1,394,360,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     1,711,344,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     1,644,232,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +249,872,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       -67,112,000
 

    The Committee recommends $1,644,232,000 for Surveys, 
Investigations, and Research, $249,872,000 above the enacted 
level and $67,112,000 below the budget request. The 
recommendation assumes the enacted level of funding for all 
programs, provides fixed costs as requested, and specifies any 
program changes accepted from the budget request. Program 
changes, instructions and details follow below and in the table 
at the end of this report. Additional instructions are included 
in the front of this report.
    The Survey provides critical scientific research and data 
to land and water managers in priority ecosystems including the 
California Bay Delta, the Everglades, the Chesapeake Bay and 
the Great Lakes. This work is funded through multiple mission 
areas and accounts, and the Committee expects this work to 
continue at no less than the enacted level, unless otherwise 
directed.
    Ecosystems.--The recommendation provides $358,872,000, 
$80,975,000 above the enacted level and $16,820,000 below the 
budget request. Program elements of this mission area follow 
below.
    Environmental Health.--The recommendation includes 
$30,559,000, which includes an increase of $2,000,000 above the 
enacted level in Toxic Substances Hydrology for harmful algal 
bloom research. The Committee remains concerned about the 
prevalence and dangers of algal toxins and pathogens in the 
nation's natural bodies of water. The Survey is to continue its 
research on understanding the prevalence of toxins in the 
nation's natural bodies of water by expanding its understanding 
of the drivers of algal blooms and the associated health 
impacts and toxicity, especially through drinking water, and 
examining the pathways through which sediment and nutrients 
move through watersheds and into bodies of water bodies, and 
how that process contributes to the formation of harmful algal 
blooms. The Survey is encouraged to participate in interagency 
efforts to expedite the development and deployment of remote 
sensing tools to assist with early event warning delivered 
through mobile devices and web portals. The Committee also 
directs the Survey to maintain its monitoring and research 
activities in the Tahoe basin on nearshore algal blooms and to 
support implementation of P.L. 106-506. Within 60 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Survey is to provide a report to the 
Committee on the Environmental Health research it plans to 
conduct in fiscal year 2023 specifically outlining efforts on 
harmful algal blooms and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
(PFOA/PFAS). The recommendation also provides the $1,000,000 
requested for mitigation of contaminant exposures and recycling 
of mining waste.
    Species Management Research Program.--For Species 
Management Research, the recommendation provides $70,859,000. 
The recommendation also includes increases of $7,500,000 for 
applied science in support of bureau conservation and 
adaptation to provide science to inform efforts to address 
priorities in the Conserving and Restoring America the 
Beautiful report, $5,000,000 for decision support for clean 
energy, no funding for integrated sensor grants and instead 
$500,000 to support and collaborate with the USA National 
Phenology Network, and $2,000,000 for deepwater fisheries 
research at the Great Lakes Science Center. Funding should also 
be used as necessary to supplement the additional resources the 
Committee has provided to the Bureau of Land Management to work 
with the Survey to significantly progress research on 
reversible immunocontraceptive fertility control for wild 
horses and burros. The Committee encourages the Survey to 
continue work related to the Oregon Private Forest Accord, as 
appropriate.
    Land Management Research Program.--For the Land Management 
Research Program, the recommendation provides $72,162,000 which 
includes $11,100,000 for understanding and quantifying 
ecosystem services. The Survey is directed to fund all priority 
geographic landscapes and ecosystems, such as the Everglades at 
no less than the enacted level, and $8,500,000 is provided for 
the Chesapeake Bay. The Committee urges the Survey to continue 
its work on native plant research and identify opportunities 
for the Department to increase the use of native plants in land 
restoration projects as well as the native plant species that 
could be most successful for restoration and promote improved 
ecosystem function. Resources for applied science may be used 
to enhance base funding for sage grouse research as the 
Survey's recent report on plummeting population numbers 
outlines the need for enhanced conservation to ensure the 
viability of the species.
    Biological Threats and Invasive Species Research Program.--
The recommendation provides $46,780,000 which includes 
$5,190,000 for interacting multiple stressor effects on 
biological threats. The Committee continues to be concerned 
about the economic, ecologic, and health threats posed by 
invasive species. Therefore, $11,000,000 is provided to 
continue critical research for Invasive carp, including 
$3,000,000 for research to contain or eradicate grass carp such 
as the Survey's on-going work to develop species-specific 
toxicants for grass carp. The Department is directed to update 
the Committee on phytoplankton changes in the Great Lakes since 
1980.
    The recommendation also provides $4,720,000 for research on 
chronic wasting disease in wild populations of cervids. Funding 
for research on Coral Disease, White Nose Syndrome, and Greater 
Everglades Invasive species is maintained at the enacted level.

operational, and fully functional and receive an increase in 
funding above the enacted level which will accelerate their 
work. The Committee encourages the Survey to fund these 
regional centers, including university consortia, and approve 
staffing plans as expeditiously as possible. At a time when our 
natural and cultural resources, our communities, and our health 
are being assaulted by climate change, CASCs provide actionable 
science and research that directly address many of the climate-
related challenges unique to different regions of the country 
and are invaluable to stakeholders and policy makers. The 
recommendation includes $10,000,000 for Tribal climate 
adaptation science to build capacity. The recommendation also 
provides $25,121,000 for land change science which includes 
$5,000,000 to further the Federal lands greenhouse gas 
emissions inventory and sequestration assessment as requested.
    Cooperative Research Units (CRUs).--The Committee 
recognizes the value of Cooperative Research Units and provides 
$28,150,000 to support these research institutions and maintain 
the educational pipeline, including improving and increasing 
youth involvement in science and resource management. The 
recommendation continues the directive to fill critical 
vacancies, specifically vacancies needed to build quantitative 
fisheries capacity in inland waters of the Upper Mississippi 
Basin. The recommendation does not specify funding for research 
into the causes of malignant melanomas affecting brown 
bullhead. The Survey may use the increase to support existing 
CRU's and establish a CRU at an institution of higher education 
that does not have a CRU.
    Great Lakes Science Center.--Funding for the Great Lakes 
Science Center is provided at no less than $15,000,000. The 
Committee supports the Great Lakes Science Center's

within 120 days of enactment of this Act on the feasibility of 
conducting field experiments on mineralization of slag and 
other industrial wastes; and $6,670,000 for supply chain 
research to build upon analyses of mineral dependencies. This 
funding level allows the Survey to work with Federal and State 
partners to modernize the Nation's understanding of the 
subsurface and improve the topographic, geological, and 
geophysical mapping of the United States. The Committee 
encourages the Survey to allocate funds for research and 
development of sustainable nontraditional critical metal 
recovery and recycling technologies. The Survey is directed to 
brief the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act on 
the funding requirement and any benefits associated with a new 
cooperative USGS Mineral Resources Program with state 
geological surveys to map and characterize industrial minerals 
such as onshore and offshore sand and gravel, crushed stone, 
and ingredients of cement, which are needed close to 
construction of roads, bridges, and buildings to minimize cost 
and transportation impacts.
    The recommendation includes $49,458,000 for the Energy 
Resources Program and includes program increases of $2,000,000

43 adopted Earthscope USArray stations is maintained at 
$3,000,000. The Committee maintains the $500,000 provided in 
fiscal year 2022 for the Survey to update the Puerto Rico and 
U.S. Virgin Islands hazard maps and models. The Committee 
further directs the U.S. Geological Survey to explore the 
possibility of aligning future updates of the seismic hazard 
models for the territories with the maps for all 50 States and 
to report its findings within 180 days of the enactment of this 
Act.
    The Committee remains concerned about the lack of knowledge 
and offshore real-time instrumentation available for the 
Cascadia subduction zone. Scientific understanding of 
earthquakes and the ocean environment will benefit from the 
wealth of offshore data collected. The Survey is to continue 
its development of an early earthquake warning system and its 
expansion into locations that will benefit from early detection 
and characterization of earthquakes and tsunamis, to include 
the Caribbean Basin. The Survey is encouraged to specifically 
study the recent seismic activity off the southwestern coast of 
Puerto Rico.

leverage these efforts in collaboration with the research being 
conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration and Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center.
    The Committee recommends $100,773,000 for the National 
Water Quality program. Recognizing the increasing threats many 
communities face from harmful algal blooms (HABs), both in 
freshwater and coastal ecosystems, $7,490,000 is included for 
research on health effects associated with HABs, as well as 
efforts to monitor, characterize, and predict HABs for early 
action, prevent, control, and provide rapid response alerts to 
water resource agencies, health departments, and the public. As 
part of this research, the Committee supports the Survey's 
examination of the pathways through which sediment and 
nutrients move through watersheds and into bodies of water and 
how that relates to the formation of harmful algal blooms and 
its effect on vegetation growth within marine ecosystems and 
its disruption to food chains, which may negatively impact 
biodiversity. The Survey is encouraged to develop best 
management practices to help both rural and urban communities 
reduce excess nutrients in their watersheds. The Survey is also 
urged to coordinate with the Environmental Protection Agency to 
monitor the nations water systems and publish available data on 
the amount of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFOA/PFAS) 
detected in our water systems as well as examine its own water 
sources. The recommendation includes $2,650,000 to continue the 
development of nationally consistent PFAS sampling protocols 
and support implementation of the broad-scale PFAS sampling 
plan to assess PFAS occurrence at a national scale and help 
estimate human exposure to PFAS. The Survey is directed to 
brief the Committee on its HABs and PFAS research within 120 
days of enactment of this Act.
    The Water Resources Research Act was designed to provide 
more effective coordination of the Nation's water research by 
establishing Water Resources Research Institutes at 
universities in each State, territory, and the District of 
Columbia. These institutes provide vital support to 
stakeholders, States, and Federal agencies for long-term water 
planning, policy development, and resource management. The 
recommendation provides $17,000,000. Research on aquatic 
invasive species in the Upper Mississippi River region to 
address a critical need for multi-state research is maintained 
at no less than the enacted level. The Committee encourages the 
continuation of the development of multi-state research teams 
to coordinate needed research for aquatic invasive species in 
the basin and requests a briefing on the aquatic invasive 
species hydrologic research proposals that are approved as well 
as the continuation of research on PFAS. The fiscal year 2023 
funding increase over the enacted level should be directed 
toward annual base grants (104b).

includes $1,500,000 for the 3D National Topography Model as 
requested, $43,905,000 for 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) 
comprised of $1,250,000 for Tribal lands and $7,000,000 for 
Federal lands in Western States as much of the remaining areas 
to be mapped to complete the national map represent states with 
sparse population density, high federal land ownership, and/or 
other mitigating factors. The Committee encourages USGS to 
consider acquiring Quality Level 2 or Quality Level 1 elevation 
data from private sector mapping firms for western states such 
as Nevada. These states are leading our nation in future energy 
development and natural resources conservation, particularly 
water; high quality elevation data is critical to growing our 
nation's economy, furthering our energy independence, 
responsibly managing our water resources, as well as avoiding 
and managing wildfires. The recommendation also includes 
$10,000,000 for the Federal climate data portal, $7,722,000 for 
Alaska mapping and map modernization, $730,000 for geospatial 
and geologic research and collection on tribal lands, 
$1,900,000 for the United States Board on Geographic Names, and 
$1,500,000 for the National Digital Trails project.
    The Committee supports the continued collaboration with 
partners to leverage the resources provided for 3DEP to achieve 
the goal of national coverage by 2026. The National Hydrography 
Database (NHD) represents the Nation's drainage networks and 
provides information integral to a myriad of mission-critical 
activities which rely on hydrography data. The USGS is 
partnering with the Environmental Protection Agency, Army 
Corps, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop an 
authoritative 3D Hydrography program. The Committee encourages 
the Survey to prioritize efforts in the Great Lakes and other 
regions which have a statewide strategy, have complete 3DEP 
data, conform to Survey specifications, and have identified 
community and partner engagement and interests. The Committee 
is aware of topoBuilder, a public web application released by 
the National Geospatial Program that enables users to request 
customized USGS-style topographic maps that utilize the best 
available data from the The National Map and provides an 
additional $250,000 above the enacted level for this effort.
    The Committee understands State and Federal agencies can 
use high accuracy lidar from the 3DEP program to identify the 
location, size, and shape of sinkholes quickly and remotely, 
and encourages the Survey to consider the short-term and long-
term mechanisms that cause sinkholes, including extreme storm 
events, prolonged droughts causing shifts in water management 
practices, aquifer depletion, and other major changes in water 
use, and to develop maps depicting the zones that are at a 
greater risk of forming sinkholes. The Committee understands 
any funding awarded outside the Federal sector will undergo a 
competitive review process.
    Science Support.--The Committee recommends $117,731,000, 
$17,995,000 above the enacted level and $11,466,000 below the 
budget request. Administration and Management increases above 
the enacted level include $1,000,000 for fleet enhancement, 
$2,000,000 for diversity and scientific integrity, $225,000 for 
the Justice40 Initiative and $160,000 for HR support, as 
requested. The Information Services Program includes increases 
of $8,000,000 for cloud and high-performance computing and 
$2,492,000 for integration of cybersecurity architecture as 
requested.
    Facilities.--The recommendation includes $188,079,000, 
$3,269,000 above the enacted level and equal to the budget 
request. The recommendation includes $113,239,000 for Rental 
Payments and Operations and Maintenance, and $74,840,000 for 
projects outlined in the budget request. The Committee 
understands that the funding provided for Phase I of the 
modernization of the National Wildlife Health Center will not 
be obligated until fiscal year 2024 and that additional funding 
for Phase II is not requested, nor required by the Survey in 
fiscal year 2023. The Survey is directed to brief the Committee 
on a quarterly basis on the status of infrastructure projects 
including the modernization of the National Wildlife Health 
Center and the new Federally owned building for mineral and 
energy science on the Colorado School of Mines campus for which 
additional funding was provided in Public Law 117-58.

Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $206,748,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................       237,407,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................       228,765,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +22,017,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        -8,642,000
 

    The Committee recommends $228,765,000 for the Ocean Energy 
Management appropriation. This amount is $22,017,000 above the 
enacted level and $8,642,000 below the budget request. The 
overall funding level is partially offset through the 
collection of rental receipts and other cost recovery fees 
totaling $37,000,000, resulting in a final appropriation of 
$191,765,000. Details of the recommendation are explained 
through the narrative below and in the table at the back of 
this report.
    Renewable Energy.--The Committee recommends $51,675,000 for 
Renewable Energy, $14,857,000 above the enacted level and equal 
to the budget request. The Committee supports the 
Administration's commitment to developing offshore renewable 
energy including but not limited to wind energy.
    Offshore Wind Development.--The Committee commends the 
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for its promotion of 
offshore wind and the multiple actions it has taken so far in 
Fiscal Year 2022 to advance the leasing program for offshore 
renewable energy. The Committee finds that offshore wind energy 
development creates jobs, stimulates investment, and grows 
manufacturing, all while reducing emissions and strengthening 
America's energy security and climate resilience. The Committee 
is encouraged by the robust stakeholder engagement, 
consultation, and cooperation in the BOEM offshore wind leasing 
and permitting process and encourages the Department to 
continue expeditiously identifying new Wind Energy Areas, 
holding lease auctions within existing and future Wind Energy 
Areas, and permitting offshore wind projects within these 
areas. The Committee continues to urge BOEM to maintain its 
engagement with States, Tribes, local communities, and other 
stakeholders in this process to ensure that its decisions 
consider multiple perspectives, including coastal and fishing 
communities near projects in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of 
the Olympic Peninsula.
    Social Science Research.--The Bureau shall continue to use 
social science research to inform stakeholder involvement in 
its offshore wind planning, leasing, and permitting processes 
to ensure that stakeholders are engaged to the greatest and 
most meaningful practicable extent.
    Offshore Wind Domestic Manufacturing.--No later than 90 
days after enactment of this Act, the Department shall brief 
the Committee on the steps being taken to ensure a robust 
domestic supply chain for offshore wind and steps that can be 
taken to continue to grow the manufacturing and other 
industries which support this work domestically.
    Conventional Energy.--The Committee recommends $60,487,000 
for Renewable Energy, equal to the enacted level and $3,142,000 
below the budget request.
    Geologic Carbon Sequestration.--The Committee recommends 
not less than $2,000,000 for geologic carbon sequestration on 
the Outer Continental Shelf as authorized by the Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58; 43 U.S.C. 
1337(p)(1)(E)). The Committee expects the Bureau to build and 
support necessary expertise using funds within Environmental 
Programs and Conventional Energy. The Committee recognizes the 
agency's mandate to promulgate regulations by November 15, 
2022, and encourages the agency to complete the necessary 
technical, safety, and environmental work expeditiously to 
begin implementation in fiscal year 2024 and ensure long-term 
secure storage while reducing the risk of environmental 
impacts.
    Environmental Assessment.--The Committee recommends 
$84,373,000 for Environmental Assessment, $4,610,000 above the 
enacted level and $2,000,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recognizes the important role BOEM plays in advancing 
research in marine acoustics and understanding the impacts of 
anthropogenic noises. Within the increase provided for 
Environmental Assessment, $1,000,000 is to support extramural 
research at public higher education institutions to advance the 
larger goals of the Center for Marine Acoustics.
    Marine Minerals.--The Committee recommends $12,383,000 for 
Marine Minerals, $602,000 above the enacted level and 
$3,000,000 below the budget request. The Committee recognizes 
the sand inventory is a key component of coastal mitigation 
efforts and an increasingly important resource for states.
    Gulf of Mexico Critical Minerals.--The Committee encourages 
the Bureau to further examine the potential for critical 
mineral accumulations in the Gulf of Mexico and to further 
consider implementing new technologies in ocean exploration and 
sampling process.
    General Provision.--Within the General Provisions section 
of this title, the Committee has included a provision which 
restricts funding for the Bureau's offshore oil and gas 
activities to only those planning areas contained in the 
current 2017--2022 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing 
program, published in November 2016. The restriction applies to 
the enabling steps prior to leasing or to the consideration of 
areas for leasing as part of a leasing program, including the 
issuance of permits for geological and geophysical exploration.
    Offshore Decommissioning.--Within 45 days of enactment of 
this act, the Department is directed to provide a joint 
briefing to the Committee, with BOEM and the Bureau of Safety 
and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), on an update on the 
Department's efforts to update assurance policies and other 
steps that can be taken to ensure that the American taxpayer 
will not incur the cost for future offshore decommissioning 
needs in cases of companies' bankruptcies.

Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +13,238,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       -27,000,000
 

             OFFSHORE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT

    The Committee recommends $219,086,000 for the Offshore 
Safety and Environmental Enforcement appropriation. This amount 
is $13,238,000 above the enacted level and $27,000,000 below 
the budget request. The overall funding level is partially 
offset through the collection of rental receipts, other cost 
recovery fees, and inspection fees totaling $63,000,000, 
resulting in a final appropriation of $156,086,000.
    Geologic Carbon Sequestration.--The Committee notes there 
is strong interest in advancing carbon storage projects that 
permanently sequester carbon dioxide in geologic formations 
instead of releasing this pollutant into the air. The 
recommendation includes $2,000,000 to develop expertise and 
capacity for activities related to installation, operations, 
inspections, emergency response plans, and decommissioning, 
among other roles in support of direction provided in this 
report under the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
    Renewable Energy.--The funding provides an increase for the 
continued development of an offshore renewable energy program 
as requested.
    Offshore Decommissioning.--The Committee provides 
$5,000,000 to continue work to plug and abandon orphan 
infrastructure, $2,000,000 above the enacted level and 
$25,000,000 below the budget request. The Committee appreciates 
the Department's work to examine oil and gas assurance policies 
to ensure that adequate funds are being set aside for future 
decommissioning needs. The Committee expects that once current 
decommissioning needs are provided for, the line item for 
decommissioning activities will be discontinued. While the 
Committee is grateful for the Bureau's work on these 
environmental hazards, the Committee maintains its strong 
disagreement that the ultimate responsibility for these 
activities should fall to the American taxpayer.
    Decommissioning in Excess of Bonding.--Within 45 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Department is directed to brief the 
Committee on a plan and steps needed for the Department to set 
a per-barrel fee on oil and gas offshore activities to be set 
aside in a separate account for decommissioning activities in 
cases where there is no remaining liable party similar to the 
surface mining control and reclamation act standard for 
reclamation.
    Rigs to Reefs.--The Committee strongly supports the Rigs to 
Reefs program in cooperation with the States and NOAA, both for 
its conservation value and for its potential to reduce taxpayer 
decommissioning costs. The Bureau is encouraged to utilize the 
program to the maximum extent possible. The Committee notes 
ongoing studies by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration and the National Science Foundation that may be 
useful in informing future program delivery.
    Blow Out Prevention Technology.--The Committee continues to 
encourage BSEE to review and consider new and emerging 
technology, including alternatives procedures or equipment as 
appropriate given the best available science and while ensuring 
that risks are properly identified and mitigated. BSEE is urged 
to implement a performance standard for Blow Out Prevention 
Technology designed to sever and seal a well under all 
conditions to significantly decrease the potential for loss of 
well control and resulting oil spills.

  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +19,162,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       +20,000,000
 

    The Committee recommends $169,142,000 for the Abandoned 
Mine Reclamation Fund appropriation, $19,162,000 above the 
enacted level and $20,000,000 above the budget request. Of the 
funds provided, $34,142,000 are derived from the Abandoned Mine 
Reclamation Fund and $135,000,000 are derived from the general 
treasury.
    GAO Study of OSMRE AMLER Program.--The Government 
Accountability Office is directed to conduct a study regarding 
administration of the AMLER program, including: a review of 
each State and Tribe's process for soliciting grant 
applications and selecting projects for funding; the status of 
unspent funds and processes for reallocating funds; the number 
of applications and the number of different applicants for 
State and Tribal grants, as well as the number of different 
applicants receiving project funds and the frequency of 
applicants receiving multiple rounds of grant funding; and 
conclusions and recommendations.
    OSMRE AML Economic Revitalization Program Projects.--The 
Committee is alarmed by reports from Interstate organizations 
that the AMLER program has become impeded by administrative 
processes and priorities. States report that OSMRE is failing 
to process and keep partners informed of the status of project 
applications in a timely manner, and that one such project has 
been in the OSMRE vetting process for over 1,000 days without 
explanation. States also report having insufficient information 
regarding the standards OSMRE uses to vet projects, and as a 
result applications are frequently rejected or must be 
substantially re-worked without the explanation needed to avoid 
the same issues in the future. This lack of clarity in the 
AMLER program creates an untenable situation for project 
partners, whose cooperation is essential to the program working 
as intended.
    In light of these concerns, OSMRE is directed to submit to 
the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act a report 
detailing a plan for developing and maintaining a publicly 
available online tracking system for project vetting. The 
report should include a timeline and resource estimate for 
implementation. Further, the Committee directs OSMRE to make a 
reasonable effort to respond to eligibility requests from 
States and Tribes within 60 days of receipt, and to improve its 
published guidelines for when various processes and application 
components must be used.
    In addition to the delays and insufficient communication, 
States report that the agency tends to substitute its own 
opinions on the economic development prospects of projects 
developed and prioritized by the States. The Committee notes 
the plain language of this Act, which says that the funds shall 
be used for economic and community development in conjunction 
with the priorities in section 403(a) of the Surface Mining 
Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. To this end, OSMRE should 
be focusing on ensuring that the funds are used for this 
purpose, rather than evaluating the merits of such use.
    From its beginning as a pilot program in fiscal year 2016, 
the States and Tribes have succeeded in implementing the 
Committee's vision of a collaborative partnership between the 
State and Tribal AML programs and their respective State and 
local economic and community development programs to return 
legacy coal sites to productive reuse. Each State and Tribal 
AML program, in consultation with State and Tribal economic and 
community development authorities, is expected to continue to 
develop and maintain a list of eligible AML projects that 
include economic and community development, and to select 
qualifying AML projects that have the potential to create long-
term economic benefits.
    Remediation Projects.--OSMRE is encouraged to consider the 
use of on-site soil sorting in remediation projects, which can 
provide more lower-cost options to clean abandoned mine sites 
and, if necessary, to work with the authorizing committees of 
jurisdiction on legislation.
    Passive Treatment Systems.--The Committee supports the 
Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement's funding 
request for the establishment of Passive Treatment Systems for 
Fiscal Year 2023. The Committee is now, in part, aware of the 
level of funding required to begin the incorporation of Passive 
Treatment Systems which provide vital damage protection to 
United States watersheds from previous mining activity.

                             Indian Affairs


                        BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

    The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Office of the Assistant 
Secretary--Indian Affairs (together, ``Indian Affairs'') 
programs serve 574 federally recognized Indian Tribes, a 
service population of approximately two million American 
Indians and Alaska Natives in Tribal and Native communities. 
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) provides direct services and 
funding for compacts and contracts for Tribes to provide 
Federal programs for a wide range of activities necessary for 
community development. Programs address Tribal government, 
natural resource management, trust services, law enforcement, 
economic development, and social service needs.
    In preparation for the fiscal year 2023 appropriation bill, 
the Subcommittee received written testimony from approximately 
70 witnesses on a variety of topics pertaining to American 
Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) programs and held two 
hearings, one for national Tribal organizations and one for 
regional Tribal organizations. The Federal government has a 
legal and moral obligation to provide quality services to AI/
AN. On a nonpartisan basis, the Committee continues to protect 
and, where possible, strengthen the budgets for Indian Country 
programs in this bill to address long-standing and underfunded 
needs.

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $1,820,334,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     2,082,036,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     2,149,387,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +329,053,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       +67,351,000
 

    The Committee recommends $2,149,387,000 for Operation of 
Indian Programs, $329,053,000 above the enacted level and 
$67,351,000 above the budget request. All subactivities and 
program elements presented in the budget estimate submitted to 
Congress are continued at enacted levels and adjusted for 
internal transfers as originally submitted unless specifically 
addressed below. The recommendation fully funds fixed costs, as 
requested. None of the requested baseline capacity funds are 
provided. Similarly, none of the requested program changes are 
agreed to unless specifically addressed below. Recommended 
program changes, instructions, and details follow below and in 
the table at the end of this report. Additional instructions 
are included in the front of this report.
    Tribal Priority Allocations.--Tribal Priority Allocations 
(TPA) programs fund basic Tribal services, such as social 
services, job placement and training, child welfare, natural 
resources management, and Tribal courts. TPA programs give 
Tribes the opportunity to further Indian self-determination by 
establishing their own priorities and reallocating Federal 
funds among programs in this budget category. The 
recommendation includes $870,195,000 for BIA TPA programs.
    Tiwahe.--In December 2021, Indian Affairs provided the 
report, Tiwahe: Final Report to Congress, in response to 
Congressional requests stemming back to fiscal year 2019. The 
report documents significant achievements, including a 
reduction in attempted and completed suicides, recidivism, and 
removal of children from the community. At the same time, the 
report notes earlier parent/child reunifications, language 
revitalization, and improvements to housing and homelessness 
among other improvements. For fiscal year 2023, the Committee 
provides additional funds to expand Tiwahe to other sites 
across various programs as noted below. The Committee expects 
BIA to continue funding existing Tiwahe programs for the same 
activities at the same amount, including funding to support 
women and children's shelters.
    Staffing.--The Committee is encouraged by the request for 
funding additional FTEs and urges BIA to prioritize filling 
these positions expeditiously to work towards fulfilling treaty 
and trust responsibilities to Tribes.
    Tribal Government.--The recommendation includes 
$374,443,000 for Tribal Government programs, $19,019,000 above 
the enacted level and $19,545,000 below the budget request. The 
recommendation includes $28,010,000 for Aid to Tribal 
Government, $198,000 above the enacted level and $973,000 above 
the budget request; $83,698,000 for Consolidated Tribal 
Government Program, $1,123,000 below the enacted level and 
$1,231,000 above the budget request; $204,151,000 for Self-
Governance Compacts, $16,338,000 above the enacted level and 
$3,753,000 above the budget request; and $480,000 for New 
Tribes, as requested and equal to the enacted level.
    The Committee includes $7,002,000 for Small and Needy 
Tribes, $2,000 above the enacted level and $16,000,000 below 
the budget request. The Committee remains concerned that the 
requested program increase is not based on supporting data. For 
instance, Indian Affairs has not consulted with Indian country 
on what the new minimum should be, does not know the types of 
funding that would be considered, and does not know the 
universe of Tribes that will be eligible once new criteria is 
developed. The Committee directs Indian Affairs to consult with 
Indian country to determine program parameters and develop 
criteria to determine eligibility for these funds; then provide 
the results to the Committee within 90 days of completing 
Tribal consultation.
    The recommendation includes $40,690,000 for Road 
Maintenance, $3,290,000 above the enacted level and $7,500,000 
below the budget request. Funding for school bus roads is 
continued at the fiscal year 2022 enacted level to improve the 
condition of unpaved roads and bridges used by school buses 
transporting students. The Committee remains concerned about 
unobligated Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor 
Experience Act (NATIVE Act) (Public Law 114-221) funding and 
does not provide additional funds for this purpose. The 
Committee includes $10,412,000 for Tribal Government Program 
Oversight, $314,000 above the enacted level and $2,002,000 
below the budget request.
    Human Services.--The recommendation includes $177,980,000 
for Human Services programs, $13,670,000 above the enacted 
level and $24,185,000 below the budget request.
    Social Services (TPA).--The Committee provides $62,244,000 
for Social Services (TPA), $8,952,000 above the enacted level 
and $17,890,000 below the budget request. This amount includes 
an additional $4,000,000 to implement sections 3209 and 3210 of 
the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act, 
an additional $5,000,000 to expand the Tiwahe initiative to new 
sites, and a $2,000,000 general program increase.
    Welfare Assistance (TPA).--The recommendation includes 
$78,488,000 for Welfare Assistance (TPA), $6,000 below the 
enacted level and $494,000 above the budget request.
    Indian Child Welfare Act (TPA).--The recommendation 
includes $19,545,000 for Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (TPA), 
$2,232,000 above the enacted level and $6,783,000 below the 
budget request. The amount includes an additional $500,000 for 
off-reservation programs authorized by section 202 of ICWA and 
includes an additional $3,000,000 to expand Tiwahe to new 
sites.
    The recommendation also includes $14,217,000 for the 
Housing Improvement Program, $2,481,000 above the enacted level 
and $2,000 below the budget request. This amount includes a 
general program increase. The Committee also includes $215,000 
for Human Services Tribal Design (TPA), $75,000 below the 
enacted level and $3,000 below the budget request; and 
$3,271,000 for Human Services Program Oversight, $86,000 above 
the enacted level and $1,000 below the budget request.
    Trust--Natural Resources Management.--The recommendation 
includes $407,360,000 for Trust-Natural Resources Management 
programs, $104,433,000 above the enacted level and $727,000 
above the budget request.
    The Committee is concerned about illegal dumping and other 
environmentally harmful activity that occurs on allotted trust 
land, specifically in the Pacific Region. The Committee 
encourages the Agency to use available resources to assist 
Tribes in enforcing environmental codes and ordinances, as well 
as support Tribal consortia protecting against illegal dumping.
    There has been recent momentum in achieving Everglades 
restoration with the funding provided for Endangered Species, 
Invasive Species and Natural Resources (TPA). The Committee 
continues funding for Everglades restoration funding at no less 
than the fiscal year 2022 enacted level across all programs and 
strongly encourages BIA to continue prioritizing funding for 
Everglades restoration activities.
    Natural Resources (TPA).--The recommendation includes 
$22,874,000 for Natural Resources (TPA), $8,624,000 above the 
enacted level and $329,000 below the budget request. The 
increase includes a $3,500,000 general program adjustment and 
an additional $5,000,000 for BIA's Indian Youth Service Corps 
program under Section 9003 of the John D. Dingell, Jr. 
Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act of 2019. The 
recommendation continues $2,000,000 for land acquisition for 
landless and recently recognized Tribes to foster sustainable 
Tribal communities, economic development, and conservation 
practices.
    The Committee is concerned about reports of unpermitted 
businesses creating environmental and public health hazards in 
the Pacific Region. The Committee directs Indian Affairs to 
require Pacific Region staff submit a list of all outstanding 
business permit applications and/or businesses operating 
without an approved permit on Tribal land to the Committee 
within 30 days of enactment of this Act and develop a plan to 
increase compliance with permitting laws.
    Irrigation Operations and Maintenance.--The recommendation 
includes $17,769,000 for Irrigation Operations and Maintenance, 
$3,600,000 above the enacted level and $3,000,000 below the 
budget request. This increase includes $3,500,000 to replace 
the National Irrigation Information Management system, as 
requested.
    Rights Protection Implementation.--The recommendation 
includes $55,200,000 for Rights Protection Implementation, 
$9,513,000 above the enacted level and $10,500,000 above the 
budget request. The recommendation continues $1,500,000 for 
Columbia River in-lieu sites law enforcement, $1,700,000 for 
Columbia River in-lieu sites operations and maintenance, and 
$1,300,000 to generally implement the Columbia River In-Lieu 
and Treaty Fishing Access Sites Improvement Act (Public Law 
116-99). In addition, the recommendation includes an $8,000,000 
general program increase to be distributed proportionately.
    Tribal Management/Development Program.--The recommendation 
includes $19,544,000 for Tribal Management/Development Program, 
$5,085,000 above the enacted level and $1,850,000 above the 
budget request. The recommendation provides an additional 
$1,000,000 for Tribal assumption of responsibility for the 
National Bison Range as required under the Montana Water Rights 
Settlement Act (Public Law 116-260) and a $4,000,000 general 
program increase to be divided proportionately among remaining 
projects.
    The Committee continues to expect Indian Affairs to examine 
historical funding provided for buffalo preservation and 
management compared to other Native food activities, such as 
the preservation and management of fish. In fiscal year 2020, 
the Committee directed Indian Affairs to conduct this 
comparison and develop a plan to ensure parity among Native 
food activities. The Committee has not received this report and 
directs Indian Affairs to provide this information within 90 
days of enactment of this Act.
    Endangered Species.--The recommendation includes $6,243,000 
for Endangered Species, as requested, and $1,024,000 above the 
enacted level. Additional funds will allow Tribes to better 
comply with the Endangered Species Act and to protect and 
enhance conditions for listed species.
    Tribal Climate Resilience.--The Committee provides 
$59,859,000 for Tribal Climate Resilience, $27,888,000 above 
the enacted level and $1,132,000 below the budget request. The 
increase includes an additional $7,000,000 for the existing 
Pathways Internship Program, an additional $5,000,000 for 
Tribal climate adaptation grants, and an additional $15,868,000 
for Tribal relocation grants, for which all Tribes shall be 
eligible. As requested in fiscal year 2022, the Committee 
continues to expect Indian Affairs to compile a list of Tribes 
requiring full or partial relocation due to climate change or 
other environmental hazards with the estimated costs to conduct 
the relocation and to submit the information to the Committee.
    The Committee recognizes the urgency and severity of the 
situation Tribes are facing across the lower 48 states and in 
Alaska and urges BIA to continue considering the needs of 
coastal Tribes in the continental United States as equally 
imperative as those in Alaska.
    The Committee underscores the importance of the report 
requested in fiscal year 2022 on the estimated costs of Tribes 
requiring relocation, partial relocation, and protect-in-place 
support due at least in part to climate change or tsunami 
hazards along with the estimated costs to conduct relocation. 
The Committee continues this direction and expects the report 
to be delivered to the Committee in a timely manner so the 
Committee can move forward to address identified costs and 
issues.
    The Committee understands the many challenges posed by 
risks related to flooding, erosion, sea level rise, and tsunami 
threats impacting human health and safety, infrastructure 
integrity, and quality of life. Many communities still do not 
have adequate information to make specific decision on full or 
partial relocation and require significant support to better 
define risk to make a community-driven decision in the face of 
these imminent threats. The Committee recognizes the importance 
of existing reports, such as the informational report on Unmet 
Infrastructure Needs of Tribal Communities and Alaska Native 
Villages in Process of Relocating to Higher Ground as a Result 
of Climate Change and the need to identify similar issues for 
Tribes in the lower 48 states. Accordingly, the Committee 
directs BIA to use up to $750,000 of the increase provided for 
adaptation grants to report to the Committee within one year of 
enactment of this Act information on the estimated unmet need 
of coastal Tribes in the lower 48 states that are facing 
relocation due to climate impacts.
    Integrated Resource Information Program.--The 
recommendation includes $6,077,000 for Integrated Resource 
Information Program, $3,079,000 above the enacted level and 
$3,000,000 below the budget request.
    Agriculture and Range Program.--The recommendation provides 
$41,452,000 for the Agriculture and Range Program, $3,625,000 
above the enacted level and $2,486,000 below the budget 
request. This includes $12,591,000 for Invasive Species and 
$28,861,000 for Agriculture Program (TPA), both of which 
include a general program increase.
    Forestry.--The recommendation includes $68,418,000 for 
Forestry, $8,141,000 above the enacted level and $4,901,000 
above the budget request. Within this amount, the Committee 
recommends $35,940,000 for Forestry Program (TPA), which 
includes a general program increase, and $32,478,000 for 
Forestry Projects, which includes additional funds for Light 
Detection and Ranging (Lidar).
    Water Resources.--The recommendation provides $21,926,000 
for Water Resources, $6,124,000 above the enacted level and 
$3,500,000 above the budget request. This amount includes 
$10,284,000 for Water Resources Program (TPA), which includes 
$1,000,000 for water filtration systems and $3,000,000 for a 
general program adjustment; and $11,642,000 for Water 
Management, Planning and Pre-Development, which includes an 
additional $500,000 for the Water Resources Technician Training 
program as requested and $1,500,000 for a general program 
increase.
    Fish, Wildlife, and Parks.--The recommendation includes 
$26,687,000 for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, $6,181,000 above the 
enacted level and $4,988,000 above the budget request. Within 
amounts provided, $11,719,000 is for Wildlife and Parks Program 
(TPA), which includes a $3,000,000 general program increase, 
and $14,968,000 is for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Projects, 
which includes an additional $3,000,000 for fish hatcheries 
operations and maintenance.
    Energy and Minerals (formerly Minerals and Mining).--The 
recommendation includes $53,012,000 for Energy and Minerals, 
$21,198,000 above the enacted level and $14,195,000 below the 
budget request. This program was formerly called Mineral and 
Mining but the name has been changed to Energy and Minerals, as 
requested, to encompass the full array of existing activities. 
This amount includes an additional $21,000,000 for Energy and 
Mineral Projects, as requested.
    Resource Management Program Oversight.--The recommendation 
includes $8,299,000 for Resource Management Program Oversight, 
$351,000 above the enacted level and $870,000 below the budget 
request. In prior years, Congress provided $1,600,000 for 
Tribal cultural resource investigations in the Chaco Canyon 
region of the Southwest. The investigations are or will be 
completed soon with previously appropriated funds and funding 
is no longer needed for this purpose. Therefore, these 
previously appropriated funds are repurposed as a general 
program adjustment.
    Trust--Real Estate Services.--The Committee includes 
$159,316,000 for Trust-Real Estate Services, $9,126,000 above 
the enacted level and $13,711,000 below the budget request. 
Within amounts provided, the recommendation includes 
$10,336,000 for Trust Services (TPA), of which $500,000 is to 
implement the Gila River Indian Community Federal Rights-of-
Way, Easements and Boundary Clarification Act (Public Law 115-
350).
    The recommendation also includes $1,303,000 for Navajo-Hopi 
Settlement Program; $14,180,000 for Probate (TPA); $16,425,000 
for Land Titles and Records Offices; $41,217,000 for Real 
Estate Services; $7,074,000 for Land Records Improvement; 
$32,654,000 for Environmental Quality; $1,509,000 for Alaska 
Native Programs; $17,524,000 for Rights Protection; and 
$17,094,000 for Trust--Real Estate Services Oversight. Funding 
for Environmental Quality Projects includes an additional 
$2,750,000 to remediate open dumps and to prepare for other 
environmental quality challenges. Within amounts provided for 
Rights Protection, the Committee recommends $4,274,000 for 
Rights Protection (TPA), $11,268,000 for Water Rights 
Negotiations/Litigation, $1,800,000 for Litigation Support/
Attorney Fees, and $182,000 for Other Indian Rights Protection. 
Funding for Trust-Real Estate Services Oversight includes the 
requested increase.
    Public Safety and Justice.--The recommendation includes 
$718,439,000 for Public Safety and Justice, $172,159,000 above 
the enacted level and $156,377,000 above the budget request.
    Police Officer Recruitment and Retention.--The Committee is 
concerned about the inequity created by the loss of Federal 
Employees Retirement System (FERS) benefits for police officers 
when Tribes exercise their self-determination right to operate 
Federal law enforcement programs under Public Law 93-638 
contracts and compacts. The loss of these benefits is a major 
impediment to officer recruitment and retention, as Tribes 
often bear the hardship of recruiting, hiring, and training 
officers only to lose them shortly thereafter to other 
departments offering better pay and benefits. Any policy 
denying Federal benefits to employees carrying out a Federal 
trust responsibility is incompatible with the Federal policy of 
self-determination. Congress recognized this incompatibility 
and barrier to recruitment and retention in 2020 when it 
extended the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) program to 
employees of Tribally Controlled Schools. The BIA is therefore 
directed to analyze the extent of the problem and the systems, 
processes, and authorizations necessary to extend FERS benefits 
to police officers employed under a Public Law 93-638 contract 
or compact; develop an associated plan, timeline, and budget; 
and report back to the Committee with a proposal not later than 
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
    The Committee includes $391,039,000 for Criminal 
Investigations and Police Services, $93,363,000 above the 
enacted level and $108,663,000 above the budget request. The 
increase includes an additional $6,000,000 for law enforcement 
body-worn cameras and an $80,000,000 general program increase. 
The Committee continues funding for opioid addiction 
assistance, for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) 
unsolved cases, to expedite background checks for the MMIW 
initiative and to allow law enforcement officers to implement 
and enforce the Native American Graves Protection and 
Repatriation Act at fiscal year 2022 enacted levels.
    In fiscal year 2022, Congress provided $62,000,000 to 
Tribes affected by the McGirt v Oklahoma decision to ensure 
parity of percentage of total need funded with other Tribes in 
Indian country, except those noted in the following paragraph. 
The recommendation maintains this amount to implement public 
safety changes resulting from the McGirt Supreme Court 
decision, which created an immediate and severe shortage of 
police and investigative personnel in the expanded Tribal 
criminal jurisdiction areas. BIA is directed to consult with 
impacted Tribes regarding the allocation of funds and to submit 
a subsequent reprogramming request to allocate portions of the 
funding to Detention/Corrections and Tribal Courts as 
necessary. Instead of Tribal or State specific funding 
recommendations, the Committee includes an increase for all 
Tribes across all public safety and justice lines. Tribes 
impacted by the McGirt decision will receive their portion of 
this substantial funding increase.
    There are over 30 Tribes for which BIA is responsible for 
providing public safety and justice services, but which are not 
receiving either services or funding from BIA to provide the 
services on their own. The recommendation includes $3,000,000 
for public safety and justice services for these Tribes. The 
Committee expects BIA to consult with these Tribes regarding 
the allocation of funds and to submit a subsequent 
reprogramming request to allocate portions of the funding to 
other public safety and justice functions as necessary. Within 
30 days of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs Indian 
Affairs to provide a report of all Tribes that meet this 
requirement and the amount of additional funding required to 
provide them parity in funding with other Tribes.
    The Committee recommends $134,778,000 for Detention/
Corrections, $21,409,000 above the enacted level and $7,750,000 
above the budget request. This amount includes a $19,000,000 
general program increase. It also continues funding for Indian 
country detention facilities and background checks for 
facilities on Indian lands at fiscal year 2022 enacted levels. 
The Committee continues direction from fiscal year 2022 for the 
Department of Interior Office of Inspector General (OIG) to 
follow-up on closed OIG recommendations to determine whether 
changes made in response to prior recommendations are being 
implemented correctly.
    The recommendation includes $3,751,000 for Inspections/
Internal Affairs, as requested, and $85,000 above the enacted 
level; and $25,094,000 for Law Enforcement Special Initiatives, 
$196,000 above the enacted level and equal to the budget 
request. In fiscal year 2022, Congress provided an additional 
$5,000,000 to establish a Tribal Public Safety MMIW unit. 
Therefore, the increase requested for this purpose in fiscal 
year 2023 is not needed as it was previously provided. The 
Committee continues funding at fiscal year 2022 enacted levels 
for the Tribal Public Safety MMIW unit, equipment to collect 
and preserve evidence, Tiwahe recidivism programs and the 
Victims Witness assistance program increase.
    The Committee provides $5,163,000 for the Indian Police 
Academy, as requested, and $107,000 above the enacted level; 
and $42,836,000 for Tribal Justice Support, $12,027,000 above 
the enacted level and $8,000,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee continues $3,000,000 to implement the Violence 
Against Women Act in Indian Country and provides an additional 
$12,000,000 for Public Law 280 courts.
    The recommendation provides $7,391,000 for Law Enforcement 
Program Management, as requested and $299,000 above the enacted 
level. The Committee provides $24,579,000 for Facilities 
Operations and Maintenance, $5,666,000 above the enacted level 
and $2,500,000 above the budget request. This amount includes a 
general program increase. For Tribal Courts (TPA), the 
recommendation includes $82,144,000, $38,975,000 above the 
enacted level and $29,465,000 above the budget request. This 
funding level includes an additional $4,000,000 for Tribal 
court operations and maintenance, and a $35,000,000 general 
program adjustment. The recommendation includes $1,664,000 for 
Fire Protection (TPA), $32,000 above the enacted level and 
$1,000 below the budget request.
    Community and Economic Development.--The recommendation 
includes $43,641,000 for Community and Economic Development, 
$14,288,000 above the enacted level and $28,707,000 below the 
budget request.
    Within amounts provided, the Committee provides $18,564,000 
for Job Placement and Training (TPA), which includes a 
$5,000,000 general program increase and continues the Tiwahe 
initiative at the enacted level. The recommendation for 
Economic Development (TPA) is $10,769,000, which includes an 
additional $2,500,000 for business incubators and an additional 
$3,000,000 for broadband grants as requested.
    The recommendation includes $14,308,000 for Community 
Development Oversight. This includes an additional $750,000 for 
Central Oversight as requested and an additional $4,000,000 for 
Native language grants to provide native language instruction 
and immersion programs to Native students not enrolled at BIE 
schools, including those Tribes and organizations in states 
without Bureau-funded schools. This funding level also 
continues funding for the HEARTH Act at the fiscal year 2022 
enacted level.
    The Committee supports the goals of the NATIVE Act yet 
continues to be concerned about program execution. Given 
implementation challenges, no funding increase is provided. 
Further in the past, Congress provided funding to Indian 
Affairs to implement the NATIVE Act and understands that Indian 
Affairs has used funds to provide grants to Native Hawaiian 
organizations (NHOs). The Committee supports funding for NHOs 
but their funding is provided through the Office of the 
Secretary. For fiscal year 2023, funding for the NATIVE Act is 
reduced by $1,176,000, which is the fiscal year 2022 amount 
provided to NHOs. That amount is added to the Office of the 
Secretary for NATIVE Act purposes. Going forward, the Committee 
expects Indian Affairs to use funds provided under this account 
only for Indian tribes and Alaska Natives.
    Executive Direction and Administrative Services.--The 
recommendation includes $268,208,000 for Executive Direction 
and Administrative Services, $2,392,000 below the enacted level 
and $3,605,000 below the budget request. Within Assistant 
Secretary Support, the Committee includes $19,884,000, which 
includes $225,000 for a Justice40 Coordinator and $250,000 to 
enable DOI to participate in the White House Council on Native 
Americans. This amount also continues funding for PROGRESS Act 
implementation, the Native boarding school initiative, and the 
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiative for 
BIA and the Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians 
at the fiscal year 2022 enacted level within Assistant 
Secretary Support. Within 30 days of enactment of this Act, the 
Committee expects Indian Affairs to provide details on how the 
Native boarding school funds will be allocated as well as 
report on future needs for this initiative.
    For Executive Direction (Central), the recommendation 
provides $22,788,000, which includes $500,000 to create a 
Program Integration Office, as requested, and $350,000 for data 
collection, as requested. For Administrative Services, the 
Committee includes $55,888,000, which includes an additional 
$2,000,000 for Administrative Services (Central) as requested. 
For Information Resources Technology, the Committee provides 
$52,837,000, which includes an additional $500,000 for 
requested activities. For Human Capital Management, the 
recommendation provides $25,187,000, which includes an 
additional $160,000 for human resources recruitment and hiring 
tools. The recommendation includes $3,204,000 for Safety and 
Risk Management, $19,379,000 for Facilities Management, 
$23,577,000 for Intra-Governmental Payments, and $45,464,000 
for Rentals.

    The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for Indian Land 
Consolidation, $43,000,000 above the enacted level and 
$30,000,000 below the budget request. The Committee remains 
concerned Indian Affairs did not include administrative expense 
estimates in the budget request and continues to expect Indian 
Affairs to do so in future budget justifications. Further, the 
Committee expects Indian Affairs to provide metrics, including 
the number of fractionated interests purchased and acreage 
consolidated, each fiscal year.

    The Committee recommends $181,009,000 for BIA Construction, 
$34,240,000 above the enacted level and $24,723,000 below the 
budget request. Fixed costs are included, as requested. All 
subactivities and program elements presented in the budget 
estimate submitted to Congress are continued at enacted levels 
unless otherwise indicated. Recommended program changes, 
instructions, and details follow below and in the table at the 
end of this report. Additional instructions are included in the 
front of this report.
    Public Safety and Justice Construction.--The Committee 
provides $60,061,000 for Public Safety and Justice 
Construction, $12,250,000 above the enacted level and 
$10,250,000 below the budget request. The recommendation 
includes an additional $7,500,000 for facility replacement/new 
construction, an additional $2,000,000 for employee housing, 
and an additional $2,750,000 for facilities improvement and 
repair, which consists of $750,000 for deferred maintenance, 
and $2,000,000 for site assessments.
    Green Infrastructure.--Within amounts for Public Safety and 
Justice Construction, the Committee directs Indian Affairs in 
planning, design, and operations of buildings to reduce costs, 
minimize environmental impacts, use renewable energy and 
incorporate green infrastructure and the most current energy 
efficiency codes and standards to the maximum extent 
practicable. The Committee directs Indian Affairs to submit a 
report to the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act 
describing how Indian Affairs will incorporate these 
activities.
    Eligible Facilities.--The Committee continues to direct 
Indian Affairs to consider all public safety and justice 
facilities as eligible for funding under this program and to 
include such facilities in the master plan the Committee has 
repeatedly directed Indian Affairs to maintain. Further, as 
with school construction, Tribes voice concern over the process 
and data used to determine the size of new construction 
facilities. Tribes argue that current data and expected 
increases on Tribal citizenship, expected growth and crime 
rates should be examined so a facility is not constructed that 
is too small upon occupation. BIA is encouraged to work with 
Tribes to evaluate existing methodologies to determine if 
updates are needed.
    Resources Management Construction.--The Committee 
recommends $82,754,000 for Resources Management Construction, 
$8,694,000 above the enacted level and $2,800,000 below the 
budget request. The recommendation includes an additional 
$3,500,000 general program increase for Irrigation Project 
Construction, an additional $5,000,000 for dam maintenance and 
continues $10,000,000 for WIIN Act projects.
    Other Program Construction.--The recommendation includes 
$38,194,000 for Other Program Construction, $13,296,000 above 
the enacted level and $11,673,000 below the budget request. 
Within this amount, the Committee includes $5,000,000 for field 
communication modernization in Telecommunications Improvement 
and Repair. The recommendation also includes an additional 
$2,000,000 for fleet management infrastructure and an 
additional $1,650,000 for facilities/quarters improvement and 
repairs in Facilities/Quarters Improvement and Repair. The 
recommendation also includes an additional $4,560,000 for water 
safety and sanitation projects to address issues across Indian 
country cited by the Environmental Protection Agency as 
requiring immediate action and an additional $12,000 for a 
total of $3,370,000 for operation and maintenance costs 
required by the Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System Act of 
2000 (Public Law 105-382).

    The Committee recommends $825,000 for Indian Land and Water 
Claim Settlements and Miscellaneous Payments to Indians, as 
requested, and $175,000 below the enacted level. A detailed 
table of funding recommendations below the account level is 
provided at the end of this report. Bill language provides that 
funds may be used to implement settlements pursuant to Public 
Laws 99-264 and 116-260, and other land and water rights 
settlements.

  Budget estimate, 2023...............................                 0
 

    The Committee recommends $13,884,000 for the Indian 
Guaranteed Loan Program Account, equal to the budget request 
and $2,051,000 above the enacted level. This amount includes an 
additional $991,000 to expand technical assistance to loan 
applicants as requested. While the amount of loans leveraged 
has not increased to past rates, the amount that may be 
leveraged is improving. The Committee appreciates improvements 
made to date to stabilize the program and leverage more private 
financing demands in Indian Country.

                       BUREAU OF INDIAN EDUCATION

                 OPERATION OF INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAMS

    The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) manages a school 
system with 169 elementary and secondary schools and 14 
dormitories providing educational services to 47,000 individual 
students, with an Average Daily Membership of 41,000 students 
in 23 States. The BIE also operates two post-secondary schools 
and provides operating grants for 29 Tribally controlled 
colleges and universities and two Tribal technical colleges.

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $1,017,601,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     1,155,634,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     1,202,676,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +185,075,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       +47,042,000
 

    The Committee provides $1,202,676,000 for Operation of 
Indian Education Programs, $185,075,000 above the enacted level 
and $47,042,000 above the budget request. All subactivities and 
program elements presented in the budget request submitted to 
Congress are continued at enacted levels and adjusted for 
internal transfers and fixed costs, as requested. No funds are 
provided for baseline capacity as those funds are no longer 
needed since passage of the fiscal year 2022 appropriations 
bill. None of the requested program changes are agreed to 
unless specifically addressed below. Recommended program 
changes, instructions, and details follow below and in the 
table at the end of this report. Additional instructions are 
included in the front of this report.
    The pandemic forced BIE-funded schools to begin distance 
learning with little guidance from BIE. The General Accounting 
Office (GAO) determined comprehensive distance learning 
guidance will help schools better navigate the current pandemic 
as well as future emergencies requiring school closures. GAO 
also recommended BIE develop and implement written policies and 
procedures for collecting timely information on BIE-operated 
schools' technology needs. The Committee expects BIE to 
implement GAO's recommendations in a timely manner and to keep 
the Committee informed on implementation progress.
    Grade Expansion.--The Committee is aware of Tribal interest 
in expanding grade levels at existing BIE funded schools. 
Because of this interest, BIE is directed to examine the 
feasibility of expanding grade levels at all existing BIE 
schools. This may include surveying Tribes to determine 
interest in expanding schools. If expansion is feasible, BIE is 
to develop a plan using the average of the last five years 
appropriated funding increases for BIE elementary and secondary 
programs to phase in additional grades. Any proposed plan 
expansion shall ensure existing schools and grades are not 
negatively impacted, including ensuring continued funding 
increases at no less than prior year increases. The plan should 
also identify all additional costs, including potential 
increased facilities construction, operations, maintenance, and 
related costs (i.e., payments for Tribal leases) required to 
implement this plan and submit it to the Committee within one 
year of enactment of this Act.
    Tribal Priority Allocations.--The recommendation includes 
$68,368,000 for BIE Tribal Priority Allocation (TPA) programs. 
TPA programs give Tribes the opportunity to further Indian 
self-determination by establishing their own priorities and 
reallocating Federal funds among budget accounts.
    Elementary and Secondary Programs (forward funded).--The 
Committee recommends $736,088,000 for Elementary and Secondary 
Programs (forward funded), $97,223,000 above the enacted level 
and $18,154,000 above the budget request. Within this amount, 
the recommendation includes $505,636,000 for Indian Student 
Equalization Program (ISEP) Formula Funds, $64,852,000 above 
the enacted level and $5,000,000 above the budget request; 
$7,039,000 for ISEP Adjustments, as requested, and $1,195,000 
above the enacted level; $23,025,000 for Education Program 
Enhancements, $6,512,000 above the enacted level and $1,500,000 
above the request; $5,007,000 for Tribal Education Departments, 
as requested, and $4,000 above the enacted level; $71,007,000 
for Student Transportation, $11,391,000 above the enacted level 
and $10,000,000 above the budget request; and $99,107,000 to 
fully fund Tribal Grant Support Costs, $9,657,000 above the 
enacted level and $1,654,000 above the budget request. Within 
Education Program Enhancements, the Committee provides 
$2,153,000 as requested for teacher recruitment and retention 
and an additional $4,000,000 for Native language immersion 
grants. Native language immersion grants to BIE-funded schools 
are provided on an annual basis. BIE is encouraged to examine 
the feasibility of providing multi-year grants to decrease the 
burden on participating schools. Further, BIE is encouraged to 
engage in discussions with schools on how to improve the 
program and increase participation.
    The Committee recognizes that disparities between BIE 
teacher and administrative salaries and public elementary and 
secondary teacher and administrative salaries lead to 
difficulty recruiting and retaining BIE workforce. At the same 
time, the Committee understands that BIE annual budget requests 
include fixed costs increases for teachers and administrators 
based on Department of Defense Education Activity pay scales, 
which exceed most State pay scales. The Committee encourages 
BIE to examine this situation and report to the Committee on 
potential solutions and associated costs to address this 
situation if resolution is required without negatively 
impacting other BIE funded schools.
    Early Childhood and Family Development.--The Committee 
recommends $25,267,000 for Early Childhood and Family 
Development, as requested, and $3,612,000 above the enacted 
level. The general increase will allow BIE to expand FACE to 
one new site while providing additional support for existing 
sites. The Committee directs BIE to submit a report within 90 
days of enactment of this Act on how the increased funds are 
used.
    Post-Secondary Programs (forward funded).--The Committee 
recommends $134,200,000 for Post-Secondary Programs (forward 
funded), $20,917,000 above the enacted level and $3,709,000 
above the budget request. Within funds provided, $30,325,000 is 
for Haskell and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute 
(SIPI), as requested, and $1,703,000 above the enacted level; 
$89,510,000 is for Tribal Colleges and Universities, 
$13,000,000 above the enacted level and $3,000,000 above the 
budget request; and $14,365,000 is for Tribal Technical 
Colleges, $6,214,000 above the enacted level and $709,000 above 
the budget request. Within the increase provided for Tribal 
colleges and universities, the Committee includes $3,000,000 
for endowment grants authorized under the Tribally Controlled 
Colleges and Universities Assistance Act (Public Law 95-471, as 
amended).
    In the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 117-
103, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, the Committee 
directed BIE to collect fixed cost information from Tribal 
colleges and universities and include it in future budget 
requests. BIE is again directed to include this information in 
future budget requests beginning with the fiscal year 2024 
budget request.
    Elementary and Secondary Programs.--The Committee 
recommends $193,552,000 for Elementary and Secondary Programs, 
$39,190,000 above the enacted level and $19,995,000 above the 
budget request. Within these amounts, $91,888,000 is for 
Facilities Operations, $21,699,000 above the enacted level and 
$15,000,000 above the budget request; $79,544,000 is for 
Facilities Maintenance, $17,123,000 above the enacted level and 
$10,000,000 above the budget request; and $555,000 is for 
Juvenile Detention Center Education, as requested, and $1,000 
above the enacted level.
    Johnson O'Malley (TPA).--The Committee recommends 
$21,565,000 for Johnson O'Malley (JOM) (TPA), $367,000 above 
the enacted level and $5,005,000 below the budget request. The 
recommendation discontinues the capacity building funds 
provided in previous years and instead, directs these funds to 
a general program increase.
    The Committee continues to expect BIE to report on training 
and capacity building activities provided to contractors in 
prior fiscal years within 90 days of enactment of this Act. 
Further, since GAO found that BIE does not have systematic 
processes in place to conduct oversight of JOM programs, the 
Committee continues to expect Indian Affairs to develop 
recommended processes and timelines to ensure the JOM program 
operates effectively and efficiently and to submit a report to 
the Committee within 120 days from enactment of this Act on the 
progress being made towards meeting GAO's recommendations.
    Post-Secondary Programs.--The Committee recommends 
$58,745,000 for Post-Secondary Programs, $7,542,000 above the 
enacted level and $4,034,000 above the budget request. Within 
the funds provided, $1,220,000 is for Tribal Colleges and 
University Supplements (TPA), equal to the budget request and 
the enacted level; $45,583,000 is for Scholarships and Adult 
Education (TPA), $5,042,000 above the enacted level and 
$534,000 above the budget request; $4,992,000 is for Special 
Higher Education Scholarships, equal to the enacted level and 
$1,500,000 above the budget request; and $6,950,000 is for 
Science Post Graduate Scholarship Fund, $2,500,000 above the 
enacted level and $2,000,000 above the budget request.
    Education Management.--The recommendation includes 
$80,091,000 for Education Management, $20,203,000 above the 
enacted level and $1,150,000 above the budget request. This 
includes $41,690,000 for Education Program Management 
activities, which includes $74,000 for labor-related payments, 
$1,181,000 for intra-governmental payments, $225,000 for a 
Justice 40 coordinator, and $160,000 for a human resources 
Pathways program coordinator; and $38,401,000 for Education 
Information Technology.
    In fiscal year 2020, the Committee approved establishing 
BIE as a bureau separate from BIA. BIE was directed to submit a 
quarterly report to the Committee on activities that occur to 
separate BIE from BIA, including details on how additional 
funds are being used to strengthen and improve BIE's capacity. 
BIE has not submitted these reports. The Committee continues to 
direct BIE to provide this information in a timely manner.
    The Committee continues to direct BIE to report on its 
steps to implement GAO's report documenting deficiencies in 
BIE's provision of special education for children with 
disabilities. GAO also recommended BIE develop requirements for 
making up missed special education and related services and 
monitor schools in fulfilling these requirements. The Committee 
expects GAO to implement this recommendation by the end of 2022 
as BIE indicated to GAO that it would.

  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       -45,000,000
 

    The Committee recommends $375,102,000 for Education 
Construction, $110,772,000 above the enacted level and 
$45,000,000 below the budget request. All subactivities and 
program elements presented in the budget estimate submitted to 
Congress are continued at enacted levels and adjusted for fixed 
costs and internal transfers unless otherwise reflected below. 
None of the requested program changes are agreed to unless 
specifically addressed below. Recommended program changes, 
instructions, and details follow below and in the table at the 
end of this report. Additional instructions are included in the 
front of this report.
    Within amounts provided, the Committee includes 
$200,504,000 for Replacement School Construction, $85,000,000 
above the enacted level and $55,000,000 below the budget 
request; $23,935,000 for Replacement Facility Construction, as 
requested, and equal to the enacted level; $4,000,000 for 
Replacement/New Employee Housing, as requested, and $3,000,000 
above the enacted level; $13,595,000 for Employee Housing 
Repair, $6,000 above the enacted level and equal to the budget 
request; $108,068,000 for Facilities Improvement and Repair, 
$12,766,000 above the enacted level and as requested; and 
$25,000,000 for Tribal Colleges Facilities, Improvement and 
Repair, $10,000,000 above the enacted level and the budget 
request.
    As with BIA construction projects, Tribes allege that 
criterion used by BIE to determine new facility size is 
inaccurate. Specifically, with a new school facility, Tribes 
often anticipate more students will attend the BIE-funded 
school than determined by BIE. The Committee is aware of 
instances where, in fact, a Tribe's higher anticipated student 
count came true. Without accurate data, a new school may be 
built that is overcrowded upon opening. Tribes express 
confusion about how to challenge BIE's student count without 
requiring Congressional assistance. The Committee encourages 
BIE to work with Tribes to examine the criterion for new school 
construction and ensure it includes additional students who may 
attend once the facility is no longer dilapidated or condemned.
    The Committee continues to direct BIE to provide an 
assessment of the need for replacement/new employee housing and 
to provide a spend plan to the Committee within 30 days of 
enactment of this Act. Further, BIE has issues with teacher 
recruitment and retention yet may be constructing teacher 
housing without infrastructure necessary to access the 
internet. BIE should examine the feasibility of including 
internet infrastructure to replacement/new employee housing.
    The Committee directs BIE to complete annual health and 
safety inspections of all BIE system facilities and to publish 
quarterly updates on the status of such inspections. Indian 
Affairs is expected to develop a deficiency tracking system 
that can be updated as deficiencies are addressed and to 
develop a plan to build schools' capacity to promptly address 
identified health and safety problems within BIE facilities. In 
2021, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) identified 10 
priority recommendations to be addressed by the Department. 
Included in these recommendations was the plan requested by the 
Committee but still not provided. The Committee expects BIE to 
promptly develop this plan to address key challenges BIE 
schools face in addressing safety hazards and to update the 
Committee on the status of this activity within 30 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    Green Infrastructure.--The Committee directs BIE to include 
green infrastructure in the replacement school construction 
program and in the replacement facility program. This includes 
planning, design, and operations of buildings to reduce costs, 
minimize environmental impacts, use renewable energy, and 
incorporate green infrastructure and the most current energy 
efficiency codes and standards to the maximum extent 
practicable. The Committee continues to direct Indian Affairs 
to submit a report to the Committee within 90 days of enactment 
of this Act explaining how it proposes to incorporate green 
infrastructure and renewable energy in these projects.
    Education Construction Site Assessment and Capital 
Investment Program.--The Committee recognizes the efforts of 
Indian Affairs and the BIE to develop and communicate to Tribes 
a comprehensive, system-wide approach to school repair and 
replacement, as the Committee has directed the agencies to do 
since the fiscal year 2015 appropriation, which should include 
a clearly identified list of prioritized projects to be 
accomplished with annual discretionary and mandatory 
appropriations. The agencies are encouraged to continue working 
with Tribes to develop and refine the program and are directed 
to provide feedback to Tribes throughout the process, 
consistent with direction contained in House Report 116-448 on 
Tribal consultation.The program must provide for data entry 
training for all on-site facilities managers and must not 
disincentivize any Tribe from making improvements with its own 
funds.
    Tribally controlled schools expressed concern about not 
having necessary staff and technical expertise to input data in 
the facility inventory. Inaccurate data in the facility 
database prevents a credible capital investment plan. Indian 
Affairs is encouraged to work with Tribally controlled schools 
to identify gaps and provide recommendations on how to address 
those gaps. The Committee also expects Indian Affairs to 
maintain valid, accurate data in the facility inventory.

                       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

    The bill continues language limiting expansion of grades 
and schools in the BIE system which allow for the expansion of 
additional grades to schools that meet certain criteria. The 
intent of the language is to prevent already limited funds from 
being spread further to additional schools and grades. The 
intent is not to limit Tribal flexibility at existing schools. 
Nothing in the bill is intended to prohibit a Tribe from 
converting a Tribally-controlled school already in the BIE 
system to a charter school in accordance with State and Federal 
law.
    The bill continues language providing the Secretary with 
authority to approve satellite locations of existing BIE 
schools if a Tribe can demonstrate that establishment of such 
locations would provide comparable levels of education as are 
being offered at such existing BIE schools, and would not 
significantly increase costs to the Federal government. The 
intent is provided for this authority to be exercised only in 
extraordinary circumstances to provide Tribes with additional 
flexibility regarding where students are educated without 
compromising how they are educated, and to significantly reduce 
the hardship and expense of transporting students over long 
distances, all without unduly increasing costs that would 
otherwise unfairly come at the expense of other schools in the 
BIE system.

           Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians


                         FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    Congress has designated the Secretary of the Interior as 
the trustee delegate with responsibility for approximately 55 
million surface acres of land, 57 million acres of subsurface 
mineral interests, and management of approximately $5.5 billion 
held in trust by the Federal government on behalf of American 
Indians, Alaska Natives, and federally recognized Indian 
Tribes. The Office of the Special Trustee's (OST) trust 
management of these assets includes conserving, maintaining, 
accounting, investing, disbursing, and reporting to individual 
Indians and federally recognized Tribes and Tribal 
organizations on asset transactions generated from sales, 
leasing and other commercial activities on these lands.

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $109,572,000

Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................        +1,714,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................      +111,286,000
 

    The Committee recommends $111,286,000 for Federal trust 
programs, $1,714,000 above the enacted level. No budget request 
was submitted for OST. Once again, the Committee rejects the 
creation of a new Bureau and proposed budget structure as the 
Committee awaits the report requested from the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) and for the Department to consult 
with Tribes on the future of OST duties and responsibilities as 
previously directed. Without the requested information and 
Tribal consultation, the Committee is unable to evaluate the 
proposal and make an informed decision. Any future proposal 
should evaluate and provide options on how to ensure OST 
employees can be transitioned to Indian Affairs or elsewhere 
within the Department. A detailed table of funding 
recommendations below the account level is provided at the end 
of this report.
    The recommendation provides $1,520,000 for Executive 
Direction and $109,766,000 for Program Operations and Support. 
This amount fully funds fixed costs estimated to be $1,714,000. 
The Committee does not approve any internal transfers, other 
than for historical accounting purposes, which is estimated to 
be $17,867,000. As OST is scheduled to terminate, the Committee 
does not approve any new FTEs and does not include funding for 
these positions. Funding for OST participation in the 
Department's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility 
initiative was provided in fiscal year 2022 as part of the 
Operation of Indian Programs. The Committee continues those 
funds in that account and no additional funds are provided for 
OST for this purpose in fiscal year 2023.
    The recommendation continues funding to modernize the 
records management system via the Electronic Records Management 
Program. This will enable OST to digitize and upload paper 
records into the cloud for storage for increased operational 
efficiencies and compliance with Federal laws. The Committee 
continues to direct OST to provide an estimate of the total 
amount needed to digitize all trust records located in the 
Kansas repository within 90 days of enactment of this Act.

  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +24,339,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        +1,176,000
 

    The Committee recommends $147,706,000 for the Office of the 
Secretary, Departmental Operations appropriation. This amount 
is $24,339,000 above the enacted level and $1,176,000 above the 
budget request.
    Botanical Science Expertise.--The Committee is concerned by 
the need to incorporate the perspective and knowledge of 
botanists in land management and restoration decision making. 
Input from this scientific discipline is necessary to the 
effective development of approaches that incorporate meaningful 
consideration of how best to create thriving habitats, 
ameliorate the impact of invasive species, and preserve lands 
for multiple use missions. Accordingly, the Committee 
encourages the Secretary to establish a chief botanist in each 
of the Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Bureau 
of Land Management and U.S. Geological Survey.
    Connecting Youth to Public Lands.--The Department is 
encouraged to examine the challenges involved in connecting 
youth in marginalized communities to outdoor experiences on 
public lands and to identify programs, offices, and initiatives 
related to this work and the corresponding resources. The 
Department should consider consulting with the United States 
Forest Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the 
United States Army Corps and engaging public, private, and 
nonprofit stakeholders, as well as considering how federal 
efforts could better coordinate with state-based efforts to 
promote more equitable access to outdoor recreation.
    Office of Native Hawaiian Relations.--The recommendation 
includes $1,176,000 for implementation of the NATIVE Act, equal 
to the enacted level, and previously provided through the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
    The Committee directs the Office of Native Hawaiian 
Relations (NHR) to develop a consultation policy in 
consultation with the Native Hawaii Community, similar to the 
one described in the Standard Operating Procedure for 
Consultation, for use by all federal agencies in order to 
promote the responsible execution of policy across the federal 
government. Additionally, within 180 days after of enactment of 
this Act the NHR is directed to provide an update to the 
Committee on the actions taken to develop the consultation 
policy and to seek to encourage regular and meaningful 
consultation by federal agencies with the Native Hawaiian 
Community.
    The Committee notes that as part of its annual budget 
request the Department includes information describing the 
activities taken in the preceding fiscal year to implement the 
Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii. As part of 
this in future fiscal years, the Department should include an 
update of Department activities previously accomplished as well 
as next steps and planned activities of the for further 
implementation of the plan, including estimates of additional 
funding to be used or needed for such next steps and planned 
activities.
    Lake Powell Recreation Advisory Committee.--The Committee 
notes that the amount of water at Lake Powell has rapidly 
declined over the last several years due to severe drought 
conditions. Given the ongoing challenges posed by the changing 
lake levels and conditions, to facilitate better engagement and 
discussions among groups with mutual interests in maintaining 
lake access, the Committee directs the Secretary to establish, 
not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, a voluntary 
Lake Powell Recreation Advisory Committee to provide regular 
and continuing input and recommendations to the Secretary on 
matters involving public access to, recreation uses of, and 
overall management of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. 
The Advisory Committee should be comprised of various 
stakeholders, including Native American Tribal government and 
DOI bureau representatives, as well as recreation groups, 
environmentalists, and local government officials. Not later 
than 180 days after enactment of this Act, the Committee 
directs the Secretary to provide a status update on efforts to 
establish the Committee, set future meetings, appoint members, 
and select leadership. As part of this effort, the Committee 
directs the Park Service to provide a report not later than 60 
days after enactment of this Act outlining infrastructure 
improvements necessary to maintain public access across Glen 
Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National 
Monument as conditions change. The report should included 
estimated costs for each location, as well as funding 
commitments in fiscal year 2022 and 2023, to ensure continued 
lake access despite these changing conditions.
    Plum Island.--The Committee recognizes the natural, 
cultural, and historical resources of Plum Island.

Secretary was directed to establish a task force to bring 
experts from all relevant Bureaus together to address the 
challenge of wild horses and burros as outlined in the report 
accompanying Public Law 117-103. The Committee expects these 
monthly meetings to continue and report language in the Bureau 
of Land Management specifies areas for the task force to be 
engaged in. The Bureau of Land Management is to report to the 
Committee on a quarterly basis on the status of this program 
and the work of the task force.

                            Insular Affairs


                       ASSISTANCE TO TERRITORIES

    The Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) was established on 
August 4, 1995, through Secretarial Order No. 3191, which also 
abolished the former Office of Territorial and International 
Affairs. OIA has administrative responsibility for coordinating 
Federal policy in the territories of American Samoa (AS), Guam, 
the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands (CNMI), and oversight of Federal programs and 
funds in the freely associated states of the Federated States 
of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands 
(RMI), and the Republic of Palau. The permanent and trust fund 
payments to the territories and the compact nations provide 
substantial financial resources to these governments. During 
fiscal year 2004, financial arrangements for the Compacts of 
Free Association with the FSM and the RMI were implemented. 
These also included mandatory payments for certain activities 
previously provided in discretionary appropriations as well as 
Compact impact payments of $30,000,000 per year split among 
Guam, CNMI, AS, and Hawaii.

in September 2009, as authorized in section 111(d) of the 
Compact of Free Association Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-239; 99 Stat. 
1799; 48 USC 1911) and section 108(b) of the Compact of Free 
Association Amendments Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-188; 117 Stat. 
2755; 48 USC 1921g).
    Postal Service Funding.--The Committee recognizes the 
importance of the service the U.S. Postal Service provides to 
the Freely Associated States. The Office of Insular Affairs 
provides funds to the Postal Service as reimbursement for these 
services. The Committee recognizes that costs incurred by the 
Postal Service have risen in recent years and would welcome the 
opportunity to discuss this issue with the administration.

                        Department-Wide Programs


                             WILDLAND FIRE

    The Department's Wildland Fire Management account supports 
fire activities for the Bureau of Land Management, the National 
Park Service, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and 
the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

                        WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $1,026,097,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     1,199,630,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     1,202,130,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +176,033,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        +2,500,000
 

    The Committee recommends $1,202,130,000 for Wildland Fire 
Management at the Department of the Interior. The bill permits 
the transfer of $50,000,000 in base discretionary fire 
suppression funds between the Department of the Interior and 
the Department of Agriculture. The detailed allocation of 
funding by activity is included in the table at the end of this 
report.
    The Committee remains concerned with the trend of high-
intensity fires year-round. The Committee supports the 
Department's efforts to develop a professional year-round 
workforce to combat these fires and therefore provides 
additional funds again for fiscal year 2023 to continue this 
transition.
    Wildland Fire Preparedness.--The Committee recommends 
$477,159,000 for Wildland Fire Preparedness, an increase of 
$106,616,000 above the enacted level and equal to the budget 
request.
    Wildland Fire Suppression.--The Committee recommends 
$383,657,000, for Wildland Fire Suppression, equal to the 
enacted level and the budget request. The recommended amount is 
the fiscal year 2015 10-year average cost for wildland fire 
suppression.
    Fuels Management.--The Committee recommends $304,344,000 
for the Fuels Management program, $77,344,000 above the enacted 
level and equal to the budget request.
    Burned Area Rehabilitation.--The Committee recommends 
$22,470,000 for the Burned Area Rehabilitation program, equal 
to the enacted level and $2,000,000 above the budget request.
    Fire Facilities.--The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for 
Fire Facilities, $8,427,000 below the enacted level and equal 
to the budget request. The Committee recognizes the importance 
of funding for fire facilities and that there is a large unmet 
need for funding for fire facilities. The Committee notes that 
the decrease below enacted provided is due to the rate of 
obligation for this funding and the current status of 
unobligated balances for Fire Facilities. The Committee looks 
forward to continuing to work with the Department to ensure 
Fire Facility needs are met moving forward.
    Joint Fire Science.--The Committee provides $4,500,000 for 
the Joint Fire Science Program, $500,000 above the enacted 
level and $500,000 above the budget request. The Committee 
urges the program to ensure that a broad network of academic 
researchers is considered for funding and that the program 
addresses the range of research needs to enhance wildland fire 
resiliency and to address barriers to wildfire management. The 
committee encourages the Joint Fire Science Program to enhance 
its attention to understanding how invasive species affect 
fuels, fire behavior, and fire regimes and exploring how 
indigenous practices may be beneficial to wildfire prevention, 
response, and resilience.
    Community Engagement.--The Committee directs the Department 
to conduct an analysis of the resources and educational 
initiatives needed to communicate to impacted communities on 
best practices to prevent and respond to wildfires and provide 
recommendations to the Committee. The Committee expects the 
Department to prioritize support of federal, state, and local 
efforts to increase awareness of and preparedness for the 
threat of wildfires and suppression efforts.
    Remote Automated Weather Station Network.--The Committee 
notes the potential for the Remote Automated Weather Station 
(RAWS) network as a tool for fire surveillance. Due to the 
increasing incidence of destructive wildfires throughout the 
western United States, to potentially improve wildland fire 
detection on Federal lands, the Committee directs the 
Department to assess fire prone areas that are not adequately 
observed by fire surveillance cameras and to consider acquiring 
additional camera systems and RAWs networks and deploying them, 
where possible and appropriate, on existing radio 
communications towers. The Committee provides no less than the 
Fiscal Year 2022 enacted level for this work.
    Study on Health Effects.--The Committee directs the 
Department of Interior, in consultation with the Department of 
Health and Human Services and U.S. Forest Service, to conduct a 
comprehensive study on long-term health effects that wildland 
firefighters experience. The Committee encourages the 
Department to include in the report effects from firefighter 
exposure to fires, smoke, and toxic fumes when in service and 
include the race/ethnicity, age, gender, and time of service of 
wildland firefighters. The Committee further directs the 
Department to include in its report recommendations to Congress 
on what legislative actions are needed to support wildland 
firefighters in preventing health issues from this toxic 
exposure, similar to veterans that are exposed to burn pits.

              WILDFIRE SUPPRESSION OPERATIONS RESERVE FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $330,000,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................       340,000,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................       340,000,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +10,000,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................                 0
 

    The bill includes $340,000,000 for the Wildfire Suppression 
Operations Reserve Fund, which is $10,000,000 above the enacted 
level and equal to the budget request. Section 1(g) of H. Res. 
1151 of the 117th Congress as engrossed in the House of 
Representatives on June 8, 2022 included a budget cap 
adjustment for wildfire suppression costs and this additional 
funding is included for fiscal year 2023. Of the additional 
$2,550,000,000 available for fire suppression operations, 
$340,000,000 is provided to the Department of the Interior and 
the remaining $2,210,000,000 is available through a transfer 
from the Department of Agriculture (Forest Service). The 
Committee provides these additional funds and authorities to 
ensure that sufficient funds are available to protect American 
homes, lands, and wildlife from catastrophic fires without 
requiring a transfer of funds from the very activities that 
advance forest health and prevent wildland fires. The Committee 
expects the Department to use suppression funds judiciously and 
continue to work closely with the Office of Management and 
Budget and the Forest Service to accurately account for 
expenditures and recover costs.

                    CENTRAL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS FUND

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................       $10,036,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................        10,064,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................        10,064,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................           +28,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................                 0
 

    The Committee recommends $10,064,000 for the Central 
Hazardous Materials Fund appropriation. This amount is $28,000 
above the enacted level and equal to the budget request.

                ENERGY COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION PROGRAM

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................        $5,000,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................        65,000,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................        45,000,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +40,000,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       -20,000,000
 

    The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for the Energy 
Community Revitalization Program, an increase of $40,000,000 
above the enacted level and $20,000,000 below the budget 
request. The funding provided allows entities to inventory, 
assess, decommission, reclaim, respond to hazardous substance 
releases, and remediate abandoned hard rock mines, orphaned oil 
and gas wells, and orphaned infrastructure, including but not 
limited to, facilities, pipelines, structures, or equipment 
used in energy production operations as authorized by law. This 
recommendation includes $23,000,000 for State grants; 
$6,000,000 for Tribal grants; $12,000,000 for the Federal 
program; and $4,000,000 for program management. Public Law 117-
58 provided $4,700,000,000 for orphan oil and gas well cleanup 
which complements the priority focus for this funding in fiscal 
year 2023 to address abandoned hardrock and non-coal mine 
sites, including sand and gravel pits and abandoned uranium 
mines on Federal, State, Indian, and other non-Federal lands. 
Within 30 days of enactment of this Act, the Department will 
update the Committee on the establishment of State and Tribal 
grant programs, how funds appropriated to date have been 
directed at economic revitalization of energy communities and 
targeted to restore natural resources and create new 
recreational opportunities, timeframes for Notices of Federal 
Opportunity, training, benchmarks, and guidance for oversight 
and monitoring.

Natural Resources Revenue. This amount is $5,337,000 above the 
enacted level and equal to the budget request.
    Distribution of GOMESA Revenues.--The Committee continues 
its annual direction to the Office to distribute revenues from 
Gulf of Mexico operations in a manner consistent with current 
law, including the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 
(P.L. 109-432), as amended.

               TITLE II--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created by 
Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970, which consolidated nine 
programs from five different agencies and departments. Major 
EPA programs include air and water quality, drinking water, 
hazardous waste, research, pesticides, radiation, toxic 
substances, enforcement and compliance assurance, pollution 
prevention, Inland oil spill, Superfund, Brownfields, and the 
Leaking Underground Storage Tank program. In addition, EPA 
provides Federal assistance for wastewater treatment, sewer 
overflow control, drinking water facilities, other water 
infrastructure projects, and diesel emission reduction 
projects. The Agency is responsible for conducting research and 
development, establishing environmental standards using health 
science, risk assessment, and cost-benefit, monitoring 
pollution conditions, seeking compliance through enforcement 
actions, managing audits and investigations, and providing 
technical assistance and grant support to States and Tribes, 
which in many cases are delegated authority for much of program 
implementation. Under existing statutory authority, the Agency 
contributes to specific homeland security efforts and 
participates in international environmental activities.
    Among the statutes for which the EPA has sole or 
significant oversight responsibilities are:
    National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.
    Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as 
amended.
    Toxic Substances Control Act, as amended.

amended.
    Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended.
    Ocean Dumping Act (Marine Protection, Research, and 
Sanctuaries Act of 1972), as amended.
    Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
    Safe Drinking Water Act (Public Health Service Act (Title 
XIV)), as amended.
    Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act.
    Clean Air Act, as amended.
    Great Lakes Legacy Act of 2002.
    Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002.
    Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended.
    Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields 
Revitalization Act of 2002 (amending CERCLA).
    Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986.

    Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
    American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020.
    Save Our Seas 2.0 Act.
    For fiscal year 2023, the Committee recommends 
$11,493,123,000 for the Environmental Protection Agency, 
$1,933,638,000 above the enacted level, and $386,718,000 below 
the request. Comparisons to the budget request and enacted 
levels are shown by account in the table at the end of this 
report.
    EPA Front Matter Guidance.--The Agency is directed to 
follow all guidance in House Report 117-83 under the headings 
titled ``Reprogramming,'' ``Congressional Budget 
Justification,'' ``Operating Plan,'' and ``Workforce and 
Staffing Plans.''
    Environmental Justice.--The Committee appreciates the 
Administration's commitment to addressing environmental justice 
and is extremely pleased to see this commitment reflected in 
the Agency's budget request. The Committee continues its 
commitment to Environmental Justice through the funding 
structure established in fiscal year 2022 and supports the 
Administration's current suite of environmental justice 
programs.
    The Committee directs the Agency to work with its state and 
local co-regulators to identify and prioritize environmental 
compliance reviews and enforcement strategies in the most 
overburdened communities where pollution monitoring, reports 
from community members, or other data suggest the likelihood of 
compliance issues and where EJScreen or evidence of historical 
redlining and other discriminatory practices indicate potential 
impacts on vulnerable populations. Additionally, the Committee 
directs the Agency, in consultation with the Council on 
Environmental Quality, to develop a framework for accounting 
for cumulative impacts from environmental contaminants in the 
issuance of permits under the federal environmental laws 
implemented by the EPA. The Committee expects that all 
environmental justice initiatives are supported through 
appropriate staffing levels. Finally, the Committee directs the 
EPA to provide a briefing to the Committee on the 
implementation and results of these activities.
    The Committee supports the Administration's proposal to 
consolidate the Agency's environmental justice and external 
civil rights compliance activities into one National Program 
Manager and looks forward to reviewing a formal proposal.
    Regulatory Standards for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl 
Substances (PFAS) and Contaminants of Emerging Concern.--The 
Committee continues to urge the Agency to act expeditiously in 
setting drinking water standards for PFAS and in designating 
PFAS as a hazardous substance under CERCLA. The President's 
request level has been provided across accounts and program 
offices to support these efforts including for efforts outlined 
in the Agency's PFAS roadmap. The Committee appreciates the 
Agency's focus on PFAS particularly as outlined in the fiscal 
year 2022 PFAS spend plan, however, the spend plan fails to 
make connections to key goals and deadlines highlighted in the 
PFAS roadmap. The Agency is directed to submit a PFAS spend 
plan for fiscal year 2023 that specifies how the Agency plans 
to allocate fiscal year 2023 funds in connection to the items 
identified in the PFAS Strategic Roadmap.

                         Science and Technology

    The Science and Technology (S&T) account funds all EPA 
research (including Superfund research activities paid with 
funds transferred into this account from the Hazardous 
Substance Superfund account). This account includes programs 
carried out through grants, contracts, and cooperative 
agreements, cooperative research and development agreements, 
and interagency agreements, with other Federal agencies, 
States, universities, nonprofit organizations, and private 
business, as well as in-house research. It also funds personnel 
compensation and benefits, travel, supplies and operating 
expenses, including rent, utilities, and security, for all 
Agency research. Research addresses a wide range of 
environmental and health concerns across all environmental 
media and encompasses both long-term basic and near-term 
applied research to provide the scientific knowledge and 
technologies necessary for preventing, regulating, and abating 
pollution, and to anticipate emerging environmental issues.

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $750,174,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................       863,155,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................       872,743,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +122,569,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        +9,588,000
 

    The Committee recommends $872,743,000 for Science and 
Technology, $122,569,000 above the enacted level and $9,588,000 
above the budget request. The Committee recommends that 
$31,391,000 be transferred to this account from the Hazardous 
Substance Superfund account for ongoing research activities.
    A detailed table of funding recommendations below the 
account level is provided at the end of this report, and the 
Committee provides the following additional detail by program 
area:
    Clean Air and Climate.--The Committee recommends 
$181,598,000, $47,284,000 above the enacted level and equal to 
the request. The Committee recognizes the important role that 
Clean Air Allowance Trading Programs play in improving air 
quality and reducing pollution and directs that $7,000,000 be 
used for this effort.
    The Committee notes that in fiscal year 2023, the Agency 
plans to use the official version of its latest Motor Vehicle 
Emissions Simulator (MOVES) model, known as MOVES3, to estimate 
impacts of the Agency's emission control programs. The 
Committee notes it has yet to receive the report directed in 
House Report 117-83 which required EPA to outline the updates 
that were incorporated in MOVES3 regarding emissions effects of 
ethanol-blended fuels in light-duty vehicles in comparison to 
the MOVES2014 modeling tool. In compiling this report, the 
Agency should ensure that it incorporates the best available 
data and science to ensure that the MOVES3 model does not 
irrationally penalize higher blends of ethanol and instead 
characterizes the air pollution effects of blending ethanol in 
gasoline.
    The Committee reiterates its strong support for the work 
performed at the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions 
Laboratory. The Laboratory remains critical in conducting 
vehicle and engine emission tests particularly on new and 
emerging vehicle and engine technologies. The Committee 
encourages continued robust funding for these efforts.
    The Committee supports the Agency's effort to prioritize 
new federal research that will help farmers, ranchers, and 
rural communities manage PFAS impacts in agricultural settings 
and communities and provides $5,000,000 to continue that work. 
The Agency is directed to work with the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture to invest in agronomic research to better 
understand PFAS uptake into plants and animals to help reduce 
PFAS exposure in our food supply and promote farm viability. 
This research should include the investigation of PFAS uptake 
from residual treated soils and soil-to-groundwater modeling, 
as well as the investigation of PFAS tolerant crops that can 
grow safely on contaminated land.
    Research: National Priorities.--The bill provides 
$10,000,000, $1,430,000 below the enacted level and $10,000,000 
above the request. This shall be used for extramural research 
grants, independent of the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) 
grant program, to fund high-priority water quality and 
availability research by not-for-profit organizations who often 
partner with the Agency. Because these grants are independent 
of the STAR grant program, the Agency should strive to award 
grants in as large an amount as is possible to achieve the most 
scientifically significant research. Funds shall be awarded 
competitively with priority given to partners proposing 
research of national scope and who provide a 25 percent match. 
The Agency is directed to allocate funds to grantees within 180 
days of enactment of this Act.
    Research: Safe and Sustainable Water Resources.--The 
Committee recommends $119,286,000, $6,712,000 above the enacted 
level and equal to the request. The Committee directs that up 
to $5,000,000 be used for grants under section 2007 of 
America's Water Infrastructure Act (Public Law 115-270).
    Additional Guidance.--The Committee includes the following 
additional guidance with respect to funding provided under this 
account:
    Air Quality Monitoring.--The Committee is disappointed by 
the recent closure of nearly a quarter of its Clean Air Status 
and Trends Network (CASTNET) sites without prior notice to the 
Committee or impacted community members. Despite consistent 
increases in funding for Science and Technology programs, the 
Agency continues to de-prioritize this critical asset. Within 
30 days of enactment of this Act, the Agency is directed to 
provide a briefing to the Committee on its current and future 
plan for this program along with detailed funding requirements 
to keep the program and sites active at its fiscal year 2021 
level.
    Chemical Reviews.--To ensure that unreasonable risks from 
chemicals are addressed in a timely manner, the Committee 
encourages the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution 
Prevention to avoid duplicative efforts as it administers the 
Existing Chemicals program under Section 6 of the Toxic 
Substances Control Act. Additionally, to ensure that the United 
States can maintain domestic production of chemicals to support 
critical supply chains, the Committee encourages EPA to 
continue investments in the new chemicals program to accelerate 
the advancement of new and innovative chemistries. As part of 
this effort, EPA is encouraged to develop improved outreach and 
guidance so that submitters understand information needs, 
processes, and requirements prior to and during submission of 
pre-manufacturing notices. In addition, the Agency shall 
enhance existing applicant engagement procedures to ensure 
timely communication and resolution of any issues, technical 
and procedural, that may arise during the 90-day review period.
    Harmful Algal Blooms.--The Committee recognizes the 
increasing threats many communities face from harmful algal 
blooms (HABs), both in freshwater and coastal ecosystems. The 
Committee encourages the Agency to conduct and support research 
that promotes scientific progress towards preventing and 
controlling HABs, including research to: (1) develop methods to 
monitor, characterize, and predict HABs for early action; (2) 
identify and evaluate existing excess nutrient prevention and 
treatment technologies; (3) identify emerging nutrient 
treatment technologies capable of being scaled up and to evolve 
those technologies; and (4) develop best management practices 
to help both rural and urban communities reduce excess 
nutrients in their watersheds. The Committee provides 
$6,000,000 to investigate adverse health effects from exposure 
to HABs and cyanobacteria toxins and to develop methods to 
monitor, predict, and characterize blooms to allow for early 
action. Additionally, the Agency is encouraged to research the 
health issues related to aerosolized exposure to water 
contaminated with HABs.
    Maintaining IRIS Program Integrity.--The Committee directs 
the Agency to continue the IRIS program within the Office of 
Research and Development. Additionally, to ensure a neutral, 
systematic, and independent evaluation of the science 
underlying its decisions, the Agency is directed to use the 
Office of Research and Development to develop the hazard 
identification and dose-response portions of all Agency risk 
assessments.
    Mosquito Control.--The Committee is concerned that mosquito 
control activities are negatively impacted by the lack of 
availability of mosquito control products due in part to the 
inadequacy of spray drift models used by the Agency for public 
health related pesticide applications. Specifically, the Agency 
employs spray drift models which were developed specifically 
for agricultural and forestry pesticide applications and 
designed to measure deposition and drift applications. The 
Committee is aware that adult mosquito applications try to 
avoid deposition and maximize drift through the target area. 
The Committee encourages the EPA to recognize the need to 
develop a model specifically for adult mosquito control, and to 
increase resources in support of this effort.
    National Native Environmental Science Training and Research 
Program.--The Committee recognizes that the successful 
management of our nation's natural resources requires a 
sufficient pool of well-trained professionals, and our Tribal 
communities aspire to fill these environmental professional 
positions with members of their own communities. The Committee 
supports the establishment of a National Native Environmental 
Science Training and Research Center to provide education and 
research opportunities for Native American and Alaska Natives 
in collaboration with the Agency and Tribal communities.
    Renewable Fuel Standard.--The Committee is aware of a 
strong interest from stakeholders to generate Renewable Fuels 
Standard credits from renewable electricity. The Committee 
understands that the Agency is planning to propose revisions to 
the existing regulations related to eRINs as part of a future 
rulemaking action. The Committee urges the Agency to undertake 
this rulemaking in a timely manner, including processing all 
pending pathway petitions, to provide transparency and clarity 
for all stakeholders and directs the Agency to brief the 
Committee on its progress within 180 days of enactment of this 
Act.
    The Committee notes that the process for renewable fuel 
pathways continues to suffer from significant delays and 
inefficiencies, creating uncertainty for biofuel producers. The 
Committee directs the Agency to provide a report, within 60 
days of enactment of this Act, outlining recommendations on how 
to streamline and expedite the pathway petition and approval 
process and implement these changes.
    The Agency is encouraged to work expeditiously to review 
renewable identification number credits for renewable fuels 
used to provide electricity for electric vehicle charging and 
on feedstock for co-digestion facilities.
    STAR Grants.--The Committee provides funds to continue the 
Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program and directs that not 
less than $30,000,000 be allocated for this program, a 
$1,400,000 increase above the fiscal year 2022 enacted level of 
$28,600,000. The Committee remains interested in the 
feasibility of reestablishing the Graduate Fellowship program 
and of implementing a mechanism to allow for submission of 
unsolicited, principal investigator-initiated proposals to STAR 
to capture innovative research ideas that may exist outside of 
the Agency and that advance its mission. The Committee looks 
forward to receiving the briefing directed in the explanatory 
statement accompanying P.L. 116-260.
    Testing Alternatives.--In an effort to reduce animal 
testing across EPA, the Committee directs the Agency to provide 
a briefing, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, detailing 
the timeline for reducing and replacing experiments on 
vertebrate animals, as well as any actions EPA has taken to 
date that change goals set in 2019-2020. Additionally, pursuant 
to Section 4(h)(2)(C) of the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical 
Safety for the 21st Century Act, the Committee directs EPA to 
publish information regarding New Approach Methods, including 
submissions that are currently being evaluated and those that 
have been rejected, and, as EPA finalizes its report on 
regulatory flexibility regarding animal testing within the 
agency and for accommodating the use of NAMs, EPA should 
incorporate specific goals that reflect the current regulatory 
landscape and outline the necessary steps to reduce animal 
testing and to assess progress.
    Value of Water.--The Committee is aware of the lack of a 
generally accepted method of quantifying the value of fresh 
water, even as the world's water systems face multiple crises 
of climate change, depletion due to overuse, pollution, and 
other challenges. The importance and significance of carefully 
monitoring, protecting, and properly valuing our national 
freshwater reserves will only grow in future years due to these 
challenges. The committee encourages the Agency, Department of 
the Interior, and Forest Service to engage key stakeholders to 
quantify the value of clean water and include that value as 
part of analyses undertaken under the National Environmental 
Policy Act and other natural resource management decisions.
    Vehicle Emissions Lifecycle Analysis.--The Committee 
encourages the Agency to build upon its efforts to develop 
standardized modeling to evaluate the full lifecycle of all 
vehicle technologies and transportation fuels by integrating 
full lifecycle analysis accounting into new vehicle standards 
aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Agency is also 
encouraged to coordinate with other federal agencies that are 
conducting similar lifecycle models for vehicles to best 
understand the full impact of standards seeking to reduce 
greenhouse gas emissions.
    Water Security Test Bed.--The Committee directs the Agency 
to include up to $1,750,000 for advancing full scale applied 
research and testing capabilities to address threats to 
drinking water and drinking water infrastructure, including 
weatherization equipment, SCADA control systems, and water 
tanks for full year operating capabilities at Water Security 
Test Bed facilities.

                 Environmental Programs and Management

    The Environmental Programs and Management (EPM) account 
encompasses a broad range of abatement, prevention, 
enforcement, and compliance activities, and personnel 
compensation, benefits, travel, and expenses for all programs 
of the Agency except Science and Technology, Hazardous 
Substance Superfund, Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust 
Fund, Inland Oil Spill Programs, and the Office of Inspector 
General.
    Abatement, prevention, and compliance activities include 
setting environmental standards, issuing permits, monitoring 
emissions and ambient conditions and providing technical and 
legal assistance toward enforcement, compliance, and oversight. 
For many environmental programs, States and Tribes are directly 
responsible for actual operation of the various environmental 
programs, and the Agency's activities include providing support 
and assistance and conducting oversight.
    In addition to program costs, this account funds 
administrative costs associated with the Agency's operating 
programs, including support for executive direction, policy 
oversight, grants and resources management, general office and 
building services for program operations, and direct 
implementation of Agency environmental programs for 
headquarters, the ten EPA regional offices, and all non-
research field operations.

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $2,964,025,000

Recommended, 2023.....................................     3,792,315,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +828,290,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        -3,965,000
 

    The Committee recommends $3,792,315,000 for Environmental 
Programs and Management, $828,290,000 above the enacted level 
and $3,965,000 below the request.
    A detailed table of funding recommendations below the 
account level is provided at the end of this report, and the 
Committee provides the following additional detail by program 
area:
    Clean Air and Climate.--The Committee recommends 
$451,605,000, $161,277,000 above the enacted level and 
$72,368,000 below the request. The recommendation includes 
$125,216,000 for the Climate Protection program project.
    The Committee recognizes the important role that Clean Air 
Allowance Trading Programs play in improving air quality and 
reducing pollution and directs that no less than $7,000,000 be 
used for this effort. Despite continued progress under the 
Clean Air Act to improve air quality and curb the effects of 
acid rain, forests and watersheds throughout the Northeast are 
still experiencing long-term impacts from acid rain, smog, and 
mercury. To improve long-term monitoring of acid rain impacts 
on the Northwoods Region, the Committee provides increased 
funding for the Agency to partner with research institutions, 
scientists, and stakeholders in the region to study ongoing 
restoration work and projects, improve its critical loads 
approach for damage documentation, and survey acid rain and 
climate impacts on lake and river ecosystems. The Committee 
directs the Agency to report on the status of these efforts 
within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
    Of the amount provided, $1,500,000 is to develop and 
demonstrate nano-catalyst and nano-sensor technologies that 
have the potential to monitor, detect, and degrade emerging 
pollutants.
    Compliance.--The Committee recommends $144,770,000 for 
compliance activities, $41,270,000 above the enacted level and 
equal to the request.
    To proactively assist with environmental compliance issues, 
the Committee expects the Agency to actively engage with metal 
recycling businesses in environmental justice communities and 
include businesses as stakeholders. As part of this effort, and 
to help support the evolutionary growth of the metal recycling 
industry given overarching environmental and economic benefits, 
the Committee directs the Agency to recognize and engage with 
metal recycling businesses that are actively investing in and 
constructing state-of-the-art recycling plants that meet 
environmental standards.
    The Committee is aware of concerns about the potential 
health risks associated with prolonged exposure to ethylene 
oxide. The Committee has provided the Agency additional 
resources for monitoring and compliance activities and urges 
the Agency to engage with communities concerned about ethylene 
oxide exposure. The Committee encourages the Agency to 
incorporate validated monitoring data provided to the Agency 
into its rulemaking.
    Enforcement.--The Committee recommends $586,243,000 for 
enforcement activities to include continued funding for 
environmental justice within the enforcement program area. 
Outside of environmental justice, $291,305,000 is recommended 
for all other enforcement activities, $49,530,000 above the 
enacted level and equal to the request.
    Environmental Justice.--The Committee recommends 
$294,938,000 for environmental justice activities, $200,779,000 
above the enacted level and equal to the request. Additional 
resources for Environmental Justice are also provided within 
the Hazardous Substance Superfund account.
    The Committee is aware there are front-line communities 
that are overly-burdened by corporate pollution and 
environmental degradation, leading to a disproportionate 
negative impact on the health of community members. The 
Committee directs the Agency to issue guidance on external 
civil rights compliance obligations applicable to recipients of 
EPA federal financial assistance under EPA regulations 
promulgated pursuant to section 602 of the Civil Rights Act of 
1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.): 1) issue guidance to clarify 
the obligations of recipients of EPA financial assistance to 
have in place procedural civil rights programs and safeguards, 
including clarifying recipients' obligation to collect and 
maintain data to ensure compliance; and 2) issue guidance to 
clarify the agency's interpretations of legal requirements and 
expectations to stakeholders, including with respect to 
permitting and, particularly, consideration of cumulative 
impacts from the siting of multiple facilities and other 
factors.
    Environmental Protection: National Priorities.--The bill 
provides $27,700,000, $2,000,000 above the enacted level and 
$27,700,000 above the request. The Committee directs that funds 
be used for a competitive grant program for qualified non-
profit organizations, to provide technical assistance for 
improved water quality or safe drinking water, adequate 
wastewater to small systems or individual private well owners. 
The Agency shall provide $23,700,000 for Grassroots Rural and 
Small Community Water Systems Assistance Act, for activities 
specified under Section 1442(e) of the Safe Drinking Water Act 
(42 U.S.C.300j-1(e)(8)). The Agency is also directed to provide 
$3,000,000 for grants to qualified not-for-profit organizations 
for technical assistance for individual private well owners, 
with priority given to organizations that currently provide 
technical and educational assistance to individual private well 
owners. The Agency is directed to provide on a national and 
multi-State regional basis, $1,000,000 for grants to qualified 
organizations, for the sole purpose of providing on-site 
training and technical assistance for wastewater systems. The 
Agency shall require each grantee to provide a minimum 10 
percent match, including in-kind contributions. The Agency is 
directed to allocate funds to grantees within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act.
    Geographic Programs.--The bill provides $679,938,000, 
$92,746,000 above the enacted level and $101,303,000 above the 
request. The Committee believes that protecting these important 
water bodies is a national priority and provides funding for 
programs that support their restoration and protection. From 
within the amount provided, the Committee directs the 
following:
    Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.--The Committee 
recommends $368,000,000 for the Great Lakes Restoration 
Initiative (GLRI), $20,000,000 above the enacted level and 
$27,889,000 above the request. The Committee directs the Agency 
and other federal partners to continue to work in coordination 
with the Great Lakes States, Tribes, local authorities, and 
nonfederal stakeholders to prioritize action-oriented projects 
across the five focus areas in lieu of additional studies, 
monitoring, and evaluations. Such projects include, but are not 
limited to, remediating and delisting Areas of Concern, 
reducing nutrient runoff, preventing, and controlling invasive 
species, improving water quality, and increasing coastal 
resiliency through restoration and protection of streambanks, 
natural coastlines, and shorelines. As the Agency distributes 
funds across the five focus areas, Tribal related activities 
should be maintained at not less than $15,000,000.
    The Committee remains concerned by the rise in harmful 
algal blooms (HABs) due to an increase in extreme weather 
events and climate variability throughout the Great Lakes, and 
believes that investing GLRI funding in innovative projects 
including wetland and other natural infrastructure project 
designs, technologies, algae remediation through harvesting or 
cultivation, or through other approaches, both nutrient and HAB 
reduction benefits can be achieved at landscape scales. The 
Agency is directed to brief the Committee on its current and 
historical allocation of funds among the five focus areas, with 
a focus on Area 3 (nutrients) and Area 4 (habitat) in fiscal 
year 2022. Additionally, the Committee urges the Agency to 
focus on HAB reduction efforts in Great Lakes regions where 
nutrient loading contributes the most to HABs. The Committee 
strongly supports projects that have cross-cutting benefits 
across focus areas and directs the Agency to use GLRI funding 
to support efforts that yield benefits to more than one focus 
area by combining resources from multiple focus areas and to 
develop a more flexible and responsive allocation process which 
ensures that States and local communities have the capacity and 
tools to respond to the growing threat that HABs and other 
environmental challenges pose to the Great Lakes.
    The Committee encourages Agency funds to be made available 
to expand breakwaters and advance local shoreline mitigation 
measures that protect water quality and provide much needed 
protection for Great Lakes shorelines threatened by rising lake 
levels.
    The Committee also recognizes that environment-based 
mitigation measures such as the creation of wetlands, 
conservation easements, and natural flood plains to slow the 
flow rate of rivers, creeks, and streams, are innovative tools 
to mitigate the severity of future floods in the Great Lakes 
Bay region. The Committee urges the Agency to work in 
coordination with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as well as 
state, local, and tribal governments, and business and non-
profit stakeholders, on developing conservation and 
environment-based flood mitigation measures to reduce the 
impact of floods on communities within the Great Lakes Bay 
region, including the Tittabawassee River Watershed.
    Chesapeake Bay.--The Committee recommends $92,000,000 for 
the Chesapeake Bay program, $4,000,000 above the enacted level 
and $1,432,000 above the request. From within the amount 
provided, $20,500,000 is for nutrient and sediment removal 
grants and $25,500,000 is for small watershed grants to control 
polluted runoff from urban, suburban and agricultural lands, 
and $22,708,000 is for state-based implementation in the most 
effective basins.
    Puget Sound.--The Committee recommends $54,000,000 for 
Puget Sound, $19,750,000 above the enacted level and 
$18,984,000 above the request. Funds shall be allocated in the 
same manner as directed in House Report 112-331.
    South Florida.--The Committee recommends $8,500,000 for the 
South Florida program, $1,000,000 above the enacted level and 
$1,298,000 above the request. Within the funds provided, 
$1,000,000 shall be for the expansion of the water quality and 
ecosystem health monitoring and prediction network which will 
use cutting-edge technologies for long-term monitoring of 
Florida waters, including Molecular, Algal, Ocean Floor, and 
Seagrasses.
    Lake Champlain.--The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for 
the Lake Champlain program, $5,000,000 above the enacted level 
and $5,000,000 above the request. To restore and protect Lake 
Champlain and its surrounding watershed, funds should be 
allocated through the Lake Champlain Basin Program Process to 
support implementation of section 120 of the Clean Water Act, 
and by partnering with states, local organizations, and other 
stakeholders working to address challenges in the area, 
including phosphorous pollution, toxic substances, 
biodiversity, aquatic invasive species, and to make the lake 
and surrounding communities and ecosystems more resilient to 
climate change.
    Great Lakes and Lake Champlain Invasive Species Program.--
The Committee expects the Agency to continue to use funds from 
the appropriate Geographic Programs to address invasive species 
in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain at not less than the 
enacted levels.
    Indoor Air and Radiation.--The Committee recommends 
$42,138,000, $15,881,000 above the enacted level and equal to 
the request. The Agency is directed to continue to operate the 
Radon program as in fiscal year 2022. Additionally, the 
Committee notes the need to ensure access to the U.S. primary 
radon reference and calibration program by states and industry 
as the national benchmark for radon measurement devices and 
encourages the Agency to support efforts by states and the 
Centers for Disease Control to collect and disseminate 
available radon test data.
    Pesticide Licensing.--The Committee recommends 
$138,495,000, $28,299,000 above the enacted level and 
$20,334,000 above the request. The Committee is aware of 
proposals to establish a Vector Expedited Review Voucher (VERV) 
program within the Office of Pesticides, modeled after a 
similar expedited review program at the U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration, to incentivize the development of disease 
vector control agents to control insecticide resistant 
mosquitos or other disease vectors. The Committee has not 
received the briefing requested in House Report 117-83 on the 
merits of establishing a VERV pilot program and is directed to 
provide this briefing within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
    Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).--The 
Committee recommends $130,007,000, $9,932,000 above the enacted 
level and equal to the request.
    Of the funds provided under this program area, $9,000,000 
is for implementation of a federal permit program for coal 
combustion residuals in non-participating states, as authorized 
under section 4005(d)(2)(B) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 
U.S.C. 6945(d)(2)(B)), or to provide technical assistance to 
states establishing their own permitting program under section 
4005(d) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6945(d)). As 
soon as practicable, the Committee encourages the Agency to 
adopt final regulations for the implementation of a federal 
permit program in nonparticipating States.
    The Committee notes the potential need for dependable bio-
based and United States-grown plastic alternatives. Within 180 
days of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs the Agency 
to provide a briefing on efforts to explore alternatives, such 
as United States-based hemp, and how such alternatives may be 
used as a cost-efficient alternative in government-produced or 
funded materials.
    Further, given potential concerns related to electric 
reliability, the Committee encourages the Agency to provide a 
status update within 60 days of enactment of this Act on Agency 
actions to coordinate with state regulators and Regional 
Transmission Organizations to consider extensions under 85 Fed. 
Reg. 53516.
    Ensure Clean Water: National Estuary Program/Coastal 
Waterways.--The Committee recommends $50,990,000, $15,990,000 
above the enacted level and $18,806,000 above the request. From 
within the amount provided, the Committee provides $800,000 per 
estuary for National Estuary Program (NEP) grants funded under 
Section 320 of the CWA, an increase of $50,000 per estuary 
above the enacted level. An additional $4,000,000 is provided 
for competitive grants. The Committee encourages the Agency to 
work in consultation with the NEP directors to identify worthy 
projects and activities.
    Additionally, the Committee directs the Agency to leverage 
existing Agency programs, expertise, and funding provided 
through Public Law 117-58, to support Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia 
Task Force states in implementing the Gulf Hypoxia Plan.
    Ensure Safe Water.--The Committee recommends $127,365,000, 
$17,878,000 above the enacted level and $7,720,000 below the 
request.
    Within available funds, the Committee provides no less than 
$5,000,000 for the Agency's continued work within the 
Underground Injection Control program related to Class VI wells 
for geologic sequestration to help develop expertise and 
capacity at the Agency. These funds should be used by the 
Agency to expeditiously review and process Class VI primacy 
applications from States and Tribes and to directly implement 
the regulation as quickly as possible, where States have not 
yet obtained primacy by working directly with permit 
applicants, and to support regulator education and training 
programs in conjunction with states, or an association of 
states.
    Additionally, the Committee directs the Agency to provide 
an annual report to the Committee on the status of Class VI 
injection well primacy applications within the Underground 
Injection Control Program. The report shall include the status 
and progress of current primacy applications, including a 
projected timeline for a final decision. The first report must 
be submitted to Congress no later than 12 months following the 
enactment of this Act.
    Further, the Committee recognizes that there are some state 
backlogs and delays in issuing permits in accordance with 
section 1425 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (U.S.C. 
J00h-4) for the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program. 
The Committee directs the Agency to provide a briefing within 
90 days of enactment of this Act to discuss actions to 
evaluate, pursuant to Part C of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 
applicable measures that such states should take to receive, 
process, make determinations on, and issue UIC Program permits 
in a timely manner. The briefing should also cover EPA actions 
to consult with such states and industry stakeholders to 
develop and implement a strategy to reduce or eliminate such 
backlogs.
    Ensure Clean Water.--The Committee recommends $243,309,000, 
$26,959,000 above the enacted level and $8,678,000 below the 
request. The Committee supports the WaterSENSE, Urban Waters, 
and Trash Free Waters programs at the proposed levels. The 
Committee urges the Agency to develop Effluent Limit Guidelines 
(ELGs) and biosolids regulations with respect to PFAS 
chemicals.
    The Committee supports the Agency's ongoing activities 
related to integrated planning, which will be increasingly 
necessary as States and communities work to meet their specific 
clean water obligations and long-term infrastructure needs, and 
better manage costs over time for their public ratepayers. The 
Committee provides up to $2,000,000 for integrated planning 
activities consistent with Section 402(s) of the Federal Water 
Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1342(s).
    Section 50218 of Public Law 117-58 directed the Agency to 
establish a Water Reuse Interagency Working group to develop 
and coordinate actions, tools, and resources to advance water 
reuse across the country. Given widescale deployment of private 
water reuse infrastructure at industrial facilities can be 
expensive for public utilities and local governments, the 
Committee directs the Agency, in coordination with the Water 
Reuse Interagency Working Group, to undertake a study on the 
public benefit of a potential federal investment tax credit to 
support private investment in water reuse and recycling 
systems. The Committee expects the Agency to report to the 
Committee within 180 days of enactment of this Act on planned 
actions to carry out this study.
    The Agency is directed to continue and expand its work 
coordinating with Federal, State, local, and Tribal agencies to 
monitor and reduce transboundary hazardous contaminants in 
U.S.-British Columbia transboundary watersheds, including the 
Kootenai watershed. These efforts should be funded at no less 
than the enacted level.
    Additional Guidance.--The Committee includes the following 
additional guidance with respect to funding provided under this 
account:
    Administrator Priorities.--The Agency is directed to submit 
a report within 90 days of enactment of this Act that 
identifies how any fiscal year 2020, 2021, and 2022 funding was 
used, by account, program area, and program project. Each 
activity funded should include a justification for the effort 
and any anticipated results.
    Aviation Emissions.--The Committee recognizes that many 
communities living near airports or under airflight pathways 
are disproportionately affected by aviation emissions, which 
have been shown to contribute to poor air quality and 
environmental health hazards. These same communities also face 
increased air pollution and emissions from a greater presence 
of ground transportation and industry and manufacturing 
facilities in proximity to airports. The Committee encourages 
the Agency to incorporate communities impacted by aviation 
emissions as environmental justice communities.
    Biointermediates.--The Committee appreciates the work of 
the Agency to finalize the rule permitting the production, 
transfer, and use of biointermediates.
    Chemical Recycling Technologies.--The Committee is 
concerned about the growth of chemical recycling technologies, 
specifically pyrolysis and gasification units, for the 
treatment of plastic waste. These chemical recycling 
technologies do not result in the recovery of plastic materials 
to advance a circular economy and the facilities contribute to 
climate change and impose disproportionate health burdens on 
the communities where they are located. The Committee 
encourages the Agency to consider the emissions, 
disproportionate impacts, and lack of circularity in its 
ongoing rulemaking on the regulatory treatment of gasification 
and pyrolysis units and encourages the Agency to maintain 
regulating these technologies as municipal waste combustion 
units defined under the Clean Air Act Section 129.
    Chlorpyrifos.--The Committee notes the recent United States 
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decision directing the 
Agency to reevaluate existing and future registrations of 
chlorpyrifos in light of the risks that residual residues on 
food can pose. The Committee accepts the findings from numerous 
studies establishing the link between the use of chlorpyrifos 
and brain damage in children. The Agency is expected to meet 
its obligations to protect human health and the environment.
    Community Air Quality Monitoring.--The Committee continues 
to encourage the Agency to prioritize air quality monitoring 
systems that yield frequently repeated measurements of 
pollutants and identify hotspots or areas of persistent 
elevated levels of pollutants localized to and caused by the 
characteristics of a specific geographic location. The Agency 
is encouraged to use this information to provide regularly 
updated data to overburdened and marginalized communities and 
for public awareness and other activities.
    Community Water System Survey.--The Committee encourages 
the Agency to conduct a new Community Water System Survey 
consistent with its commitment to the Government Accountability 
Office's recommendation.
    Great Lakes Algal Blooms.--The Committee recognizes that 
efforts to control runoff, manage Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) 
and better manage nutrient flows into the Great Lakes in 
general, and Lake Erie in particular, require a shared 
interagency agenda. The Agency is directed to brief the 
Committee on its efforts to collaborate with federal partners, 
including the Natural Resources Conservation Service, in this 
region, and to include as part of the briefing how funds made 
available to the Agency are being used to build new habitat and 
natural infrastructure to decrease nutrient outflows and reduce 
HABs.
    Green Chemistry and Cosmetics.--The Committee encourages 
the Office of Green Chemistry to work in consultation with the 
Food and Drug Administration to design and create cosmetic 
chemicals that have no inherent toxicity to replace chemicals 
in cosmetic products marketed to women of color and 
professional salon workers that are linked to negative impacts 
on their health.
    Methane Emissions.--The Committee directs the Agency to 
provide a briefing to the Committee, not later than 180 days 
after enactment of this Act, to discuss ongoing Agency actions 
to refine greenhouse gas and air pollutant measurements. The 
briefing should outline actions the Agency is considering to 
update the greenhouse gas reporting rule, waste lifecycle 
inventory tools, and the national greenhouse gas inventory to 
reflect recent peer-reviewed data, including from the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Aeronautics 
and Space Administration, on landfill methane emissions and 
collection efficiency.
    Mississippi River National Program Office.--The Committee 
encourages the Agency to consider establishing a Mississippi 
River National Program Office as a new geographic program 
office. The Office may lead efforts to develop actionable goals 
and an action plan to identify and prioritize projects and 
activities designed to protect and restore the ecological 
health and resilience of the Mississippi River. Activities 
could include restoration, natural infrastructure, non-
structural measures, or continuous living cover crops to 
improve water quality, restore habitat and natural systems, 
eliminate harmful aquatic invasive species, and build local 
resilience to natural disasters.
    Nonrefillable Cylinders.--The Committee supports the 
Agency's goals in implementing the American Innovation and 
Manufacturing Act (AIM) Act but believes the rulemaking related 
to the use of nonrefillable cylinders did not consider all 
stakeholder concerns. The Committee directs the EPA to study 
alternatives to refillable cylinders, such as non-refillable 
cylinders equipped with designs to make them distinguishable 
from non-refillable cylinders in use as of April 25, 2022, to 
facilitate detection of illegal imports and equipped with 
unique safety valve technologies that prevent fugitive 
emissions and leakage/venting. As part of this study, the 
Agency shall consider the occupational safety and health 
impacts on workers of the use of heavier refillable cylinders. 
Within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the Agency is 
directed to brief the Committee on its findings.
    Outreach to Farm Workers.--The Committee directs the Agency 
to extend its Spanish-language outreach program consistent with 
direction in House Report 117-83.
    Refined Fuel Products.--The Committee encourages the Agency 
to provide a briefing within 90 days of enactment of this Act 
to discuss the impact that recent events, including the COVID-
19 pandemic and ongoing war in Ukraine, have had on demand for 
refined fuel products and how EPA's proposed renewable fuel 
volumes reflect such demand.
    Regional and Municipal Government Water Treatment 
Facilities.--The Committee is aware that there are regional and 
municipal government water treatment and pollution control 
facilities that provide drinking water and sanitary wastewater 
management not only to their immediate communities but in some 
cases, to multiple states or to a significant region of the 
country. These regional assets receive sewage sludge and 
biosolids from cities and towns so that other municipalities do 
not have to build their own costly water treatment facilities 
or incinerators. The Committee encourages the Agency to develop 
a pilot program that expands on this concept of non-profit 
regional municipal facilities that provide wastewater and 
drinking water facilities on a regional basis.
    Sale of E15.--The Committee encourages the Agency to 
explore whether there is a long term or permanent solution to 
allow the sale of E15 year-round.
    Small Refinery Relief.--The Committee recognizes that the 
Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) under Clean Air Act Section 21 
l(o)(9) provides that EPA may exempt small refineries from 
compliance with the RFS in certain circumstances and that a 
small refinery ``may at any time petition the Administrator for 
an extension of the exemption . . . for the reason of 
disproportionate economic hardship.''
    Water and Sewer Services Study.--The Committee encourages 
the Agency to conduct a study on water and sewer services. The 
study should consider water affordability nationwide, including 
rates for water and sewer services, increases in such rates 
during the ten-year period preceding such study, and water 
service disconnections due to unpaid water service charges; and 
the effectiveness of funding under section 1452 of the Safe 
Drinking Water Act and under section 601 of the Federal Water 
Pollution Control Act for promoting affordable, equitable, 
transparent, and reliable water and sewer service.
    Water Discrimination and Civil Rights Study.--The Committee 
recognizes that access to clean drinking water is a basic human 
right. The Committee encourages the Agency to conduct a study 
on discriminatory practices of water and sewer service 
providers and violations by such service providers that receive 
Federal assistance of civil rights under title VI of the Civil 
Rights Act of 1964 about equal access to water and sewer 
services.

                      Office of Inspector General

    The Office of Inspector General (OIG) provides audit, 
evaluation, and investigation products and advisory services to 
improve the performance and integrity of EPA programs and 
operations. The Inspector General (IG) will continue to perform 
the function of IG for the Chemical Safety and Hazard 
Investigation Board. This account funds personnel compensation 
and benefits, travel, and expenses (excluding rent, utilities, 
and security costs) for the OIG. In addition to the funds 
provided under this heading, this account receives funds from 
the Hazardous Substance Superfund account.

the request.

                     Hazardous Substance Superfund


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The Hazardous Substance Superfund (Superfund) program was 
established in 1980 by the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) to 
clean up hazardous materials, spills, and dangerous, 
uncontrolled, and/or abandoned hazardous waste sites. The 
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) expanded 
the program substantially in 1986, authorizing approximately 
$8,500,000,000 in revenues over five years. In 1990, the 
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act extended the program's 
authorization through 1994 for $5,100,000,000 with taxing 
authority through calendar year 1995. The Superfund chemicals 
tax which previously expired in 1995, was reinstated by the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act effective July 1, 2022.
    The Superfund program is operated by EPA subject to annual 
appropriations from a dedicated trust fund and from general 
revenues. Enforcement activities are used to identify and 
induce parties responsible for hazardous waste problems to 
undertake cleanup actions and pay for EPA oversight of those 
actions. These enforcement actions are an essential element to 
the success of the program. In addition, responsible parties 
have been required to cover the cost of fund-financed removal 
and remedial actions undertaken at spills and waste sites by 
Federal and State agencies. At sites where no viable 
responsible party can be identified, EPA may use monies from 
the Trust Fund to remediate contaminated sites. Funds are 
transferred from this account to the Office of Inspector 
General and Science and Technology accounts for Superfund 
related activities.

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $1,232,850,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     1,154,168,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     1,313,638,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +80,788,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................      +159,470,000
 

    The Committee recommends $1,313,638,000 for the Hazardous 
Substance Superfund program, $80,788,000 above the enacted 
level and $159,470,000 above the request. The Committee 
recommends that $12,111,000 be transferred to the Office of 
Inspector General, and $31,391,000 be transferred to the 
Science and Technology account.
    Environmental Justice.--The Committee recommends 
$5,876,000, $35,000 above the enacted level and equal to the 
request. Funding is provided in the structure consistent with 
fiscal year 2022.
    Superfund Cleanup.--The Committee recommends $868,599,000, 
$51,826,000 above the enacted level and $169,835,000 above the 
request. The Committee provides $2,500,000 within the 
Superfund: Remedial program, to support regulatory work needed 
to designate PFAS chemicals as hazardous substances under 
section 102 of CERCLA.
    Additional Guidance.--The Committee includes the following 
additional guidance with respect to funding provided under this 
account:
    Equity in Cleanup.--The Committee is concerned that cleanup 
at sites near communities that are largely minority or low-
income occur at a slower pace than at other sites. The 
Committee encourages the Agency to review its superfund site 
portfolio to identify progress made to sites near minority or 
low-income communities and brief the committee within 90 days 
of the enactment of this Act on the status of cleanup at these 
sites.
    New and Emerging Technologies.--Consistent with prior year 
guidance to collaborate with the private sector to use the best 
available technologies to increase the rate of cleanups of 
Superfund sites around the country, the Committee directs the 
Agency to provide a report, within 60 days of enactment of this 
Act, outlining progress made toward incorporating in situ 
remediation technologies to restore Superfund sites and return 
them to productive use, as well as related water quality 
remediation projects.
    Superfund Excise Tax.--The Committee includes bill language 
to ensure that the Agency may expend the excise taxes collected 
in accordance with section 613 of Public Law 117-58 within the 
Superfund account.

          Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund Program

    Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by 
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), 
authorized the establishment of a response program for cleanup 
of releases from leaking underground storage tanks. Owners and 
operators of facilities with underground tanks must demonstrate 
financial responsibility and bear initial responsibility for 
cleanup. The Federal trust fund is funded through the 
imposition of a motor fuel tax of one-tenth of a cent per 
gallon.
    In addition to State resources, the Leaking Underground 
Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund provides funding to clean up 
sites, enforces necessary corrective actions, and recovers 
costs expended from the Fund for cleanup activities. The 
underground storage tank response program is designed to 
operate primarily through cooperative agreements with States. 
Funds are also used for grants to non-State entities, including 
Indian Tribes, under Section 8001 of the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 expanded the 
authorized activities of the Fund to include the underground 
storage tank program. In 2006, Congress amended section 9508 of 
the Internal Revenue Code to authorize expenditures from the 
trust fund for prevention and inspection activities.

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................       $92,293,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................        93,814,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................        93,814,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................        +1,521,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................                 0
 

    The Committee recommends $93,814,000 for the Leaking 
Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund Program, $1,521,000 
above the enacted level and equal to the request.
    Regular inspections of Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) are 
a key part of an overall strategy to prevent and minimize 
impacts of releases of fuels or other hazardous substances from 
USTs. The Committee provides $26,669,000 to support state 
inspection programs.

                       Inland Oil Spill Programs

    This appropriation, authorized by the Federal Water 
Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 
1990, provides funds to prepare for and prevent releases of oil 
and other petroleum products in navigable waterways. In 
addition, EPA is reimbursed for incident specific response 
costs through the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund managed by the 
United States Coast Guard.
    EPA is responsible for directing all cleanup and removal 
activities posing a threat to public health and the 
environment; conducting site inspections; providing a means to 
achieve cleanup activities by private parties; reviewing 
containment plans at facilities; reviewing area contingency 
plans; pursuing cost recovery of fund-financed cleanups; and 
conducting research of oil cleanup techniques. Funds for this 
appropriation are provided through the Oil Spill Liability 
Trust Fund which is composed of fees and collections made 
through provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the 
Comprehensive Oil Pollution Liability and Compensation Act, the 
Deepwater Port Act of 1974, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands 
Act Amendments of 1978, and the Federal Water Pollution Control 
Act, as amended.

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................       $20,262,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................        26,502,000

  Appropriation, 2022.................................        +6,240,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................                 0
 

    The Committee recommends $26,502,000 for the Inland Oil 
Spill program, $6,240,000 above the enacted level and equal to 
the request.

                   State and Tribal Assistance Grants

    The State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) account 
provides grant funds for programs operated primarily by State, 
Tribal, local, and other governmental partners. The account 
includes two broad types of funds: (1) Infrastructure 
Assistance, which is used primarily by state, local, and tribal 
partners for projects that directly improve air quality, water 
quality, or clean up contaminated sites; supporting 
environmental protection; and (2) Categorical Grants, which 
assist State and Tribal governments and other environmental 
partners with the operation of environmental programs.
    In the STAG account, the agency provides funding for 
infrastructure projects through two State Revolving Funds 
(Clean Water and Drinking Water), geographic specific projects 
in Alaska Native Villages and on the United States-Mexico 
Border, Brownfields revitalization projects, diesel emission 
reduction grants, and other targeted infrastructure projects. 
Additionally, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the 
Nation Act (Public Law 114-322) (WIIN Act) and America's Water 
Infrastructure Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-270) (AWIA) 
authorized a number of clean water and drinking water grant 
programs designed to address specific water-related health and 
environmental concerns in communities.
    The State Revolving Funds (SRFs) provide Federal financial 
assistance to protect the Nation's water resources. The Clean 
Water SRF helps eliminate municipal discharge of untreated or 
inadequately treated pollutants and thereby helps maintain or 
restore the country's water to a swimmable and/or fishable 
quality. The Clean Water SRF provides resources for municipal, 
inter-municipal, State, and Interstate agencies and Tribal 
governments to plan, design, and construct wastewater 
facilities and other projects, including non-point source, 
estuary, stormwater, and sewer overflow projects. The Safe 
Drinking Water SRF finances improvements to community water 
systems so that they can achieve compliance with the mandates 
of the Safe Drinking Water Act and continue to protect public 
health.
    Many Federal environmental statutes include provisions 
allowing delegation of day-to-day management of environmental 
programs to approved State and Tribal environmental programs. 
The Federal statutes were designed to recognize States and 
Tribes as partners and co-regulators, allowing States and 
Tribes to assist with the execution and implementation of 
environmental safeguards. For delegated environmental programs, 
State and Tribal governments issue and enforce permits, carry 
out inspections and monitoring, and collect data. To assist 
States and Tribes in this task, the statutes also authorized 
the agency to provide funding to States and Tribes. These 
grants, which cover every major aspect of environmental 
protection, include those programs authorized by sections 319 
and 106 of the Clean Water Act (Federal Water Pollution Control 
Act, as amended, for non-point source pollution and water 
quality permits programs), sections 103 and 105 of the Clean 
Air Act (for State and Local air quality management programs), 
section 128 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) (for State and 
Tribal response programs), section 1443(a) of the Safe Drinking 
Water Act (for public water system supervision), and section 
3011 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (for the 
implementation of State hazardous waste programs).

area:
    Community Project Funding Grants.--From within funds 
provided for capitalization grants for the Drinking Water State 
Revolving Fund and the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, the 
Committee recommends $553,401,264 from the Clean Water SRF and 
$381,263,499 from the Drinking Water SRF special project grants 
be for special project grant for the construction of drinking 
water, wastewater, and storm water infrastructure and for water 
quality protection. Each project shall provide not less than 20 
percent matching funds from non-federal sources, unless 
approved for a waiver. Applicable federal requirements that 
would apply to a Clean Water State Revolving Fund or Drinking 
Water State Revolving Fund project grant recipient shall apply 
to a grantee receiving a special project grant under this 
section. The Committee notes that the following funding sources 
are to be treated as non-federal funds and can be used to meet 
the non-federal matching fund requirement: U.S. Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, Community Development Block 
Grant program; U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural 
Development Program; and Appalachian Regional Commission 
grants. Funding made available to jurisdictions through the 
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2) are 
considered federal funds and may not be applied towards the 
non-federal cost share requirement. A detailed list of projects 
is located in the table titled ``Incorporation of Community 
Project Funding Items'' located at the end of this report.
    Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).--The Committee 
recommends $1,751,646,000 for the Clean Water SRF, requires at 
least 10 percent of funds to be used for green infrastructure 
or energy efficiency projects, reserves $2,000,000 for 
technical assistance and training grants, and requires that 10 
percent of grant funds be used for additional subsidization. 
The Committee urges the Agency to use funding for the Clean 
Water SRF to protect freshwater sources and to assist water 
utilities in protecting communities from PFAS. Additionally, to 
the extent there are sufficient eligible project applications, 
up to 20 percent of the funds made available through the CWSRF 
to each state may be used for projects that seek to mitigate 
known sources of pollution, including failing septic systems, 
and improve water quality.
    The Committee notes that wastewater treatment facilities 
are some of the largest industrial users of electricity in the 
nation and provides Green Project Reserve (GPR) funds as part 
of the CWSRF to encourage states to improve energy and water 
efficiency at treatment facilities. The Committee reminds the 
Agency of prior directives to develop a uniform reporting 
framework which states may use to report their GPR spending, 
and directs the Agency to develop and make available to states 
tools and metrics that allow states to quantify estimated 
energy and water savings benefits of these investments. The 
Agency is also reminded of the prior requirement to provide 
entities that provide technical assistance to wastewater and 
drinking water treatment facilities clear guidance on metrics 
for how to utilize GPR set asides. Finally, the Agency is 
directed to increase its cooperation on GPR technical 
assistance with the Department of Energy's Advanced 
Manufacturing Office and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 
Rural Development Program.
    Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.--The Committee 
recommends $1,126,096,000 for the Drinking Water SRF, allows 
funds to be used to finance green infrastructure or energy 
efficiency projects, and requires that 14 percent be used for 
additional subsidization.
    Brownfields Program.--The Committee recommends 
$130,982,000, $38,995,000 above the enacted level and equal to 
the request for brownfields grants and directs that at least 10 
percent of such grants be provided to areas in which at least 
20 percent of the population has lived under the poverty level 
over the past 30 years as determined by censuses and the most 
recent Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates as described in 
the bill.
    Diesel Emissions Reductions Grants (DERA).--The Committee 
recommends $150,000,000, $58,000,000 above the enacted level 
and equal to the request for DERA grants. The Committee notes 
that the DERA program was recently reauthorized through 2024. 
The Committee strongly supports the use of DERA funding in 
transportation electrification projects.
    Targeted Airshed Grants.--The Committee recommends 
$100,000,000, $38,073,000 above the enacted level and 
$41,000,000 above the request. These grants shall be 
distributed on a competitive basis to nonattainment areas that 
the Agency determines are ranked as the top five most polluted 
areas relative to annual ozone or particulate matter 2.5 
standards, as well as the top five areas based on the 24-hour 
particulate matter 2.5 standard where the design values exceed 
the 35 mg/m3 standard. To determine these areas, the Agency 
shall use the most recent design values calculated from 
validated air quality data. The Committee notes that these 
funds are available for emission reduction activities deemed 
necessary for compliance with national ambient air quality 
standards and included in a State Implementation Plan submitted 
to EPA.
    New Grant Programs.--The Committee funds 10 of the 21 new 
grant programs proposed in the request for a total of 
$65,000,000. Funding is listed by account in the table at the 
end of this report.
    The Committee recognizes the importance of addressing the 
unique environmental and public health consequences of 
stormwater and stormwater runoff in the different regions of 
the country. To address both the near- and long-term issues, 
the bill provides $5,000,000 for this new grant program and to 
support the creation of between three and five centers of 
excellence for new and emerging stormwater control 
infrastructure technologies, as authorized in section 50217(b) 
of Public Law 107-58.
    The bill provides $5,000,000 for the Enhanced Aquifer Use 
and Recharge program. Given this is a new grant program for 
fiscal year 2023, the Committee directs the Agency, within 90 
days of enactment of this Act, to provide a five-year, scalable 
budgetary research plan to assist local governments, 
universities, Tribes, and water related institutions, primarily 
located only rural communities, in advancing planning for sole 
source aquifers for research, monitoring, outreach, and 
implementation of Enhanced Aquifer Recharge (EAR). The 
Committee encourages the Agency, in producing such plan, to 
prioritize EAR research on the most promising systems that have 
focused on the use surface water diversion during high flow 
periods, and directly address conversion of storm-flow during 
times of excess supply, to base-flow and ground water-based 
drinking supplies, for times of high demand.
    Categorical Grants.--For categorical grants to States and 
other environmental partners for the implementation of 
delegated programs, the bill provides $1,321,004,000, an 
increase of $221,620,000 above the enacted level and equal to 
the request. Funding levels for each grant program within the 
Categorical Grants program are specified in the table at the 
end of this report.
    Categorical Grant: Resource Recovery and Hazardous Waste 
Grants.--The Committee recommends $118,247,000, an increase of 
$15,747,000 above the enacted level and equal to the request. 
The bill includes a provision to spend categorical grant funds 
for the purpose of providing grants to assist States in the 
development and implementation of state programs for the 
control of coal combustion residuals under section 2301 of the 
Water and Waste Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-322), and the 
Agency is directed to allocate $2,000,000 from the Hazardous 
Waste Financial Assistance categorical grants program project 
for this purpose. The Committee notes that funds awarded under 
the authority provided by this Act are not subject to section 
3011 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (Public Law 89-272).
    Additionally, of the funding provided, $10,000,000 is to 
support post-consumer materials management or recycling 
facilities, consistent with section 302(a) of the Save Our Seas 
2.0 Act (Public Law 116-224)and the Agency is encouraged to 
ensure investments made by the materials recovery facilities 
(MRF) are material neutral.
    Categorical Grant: Nonpoint Source (Sec. 319).--The 
Committee recommends $190,000,000. The Committee notes that 
anthropogenic sources of nutrients, including non-point 
sources, are a primary factor in the occurrence and prevalence 
of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), and that reducing non-point 
pollution should significantly reduce both the frequency and 
severity of HABs. Therefore, the Committee directs the Agency 
to work with recipients to support technical and financial 
assistance, training, technology, and the implementation of 
demonstration and monitoring projects to mitigate HABs.
    Categorical Grant: State and Local Air Quality 
Management.--The Committee recommends $322,198,000, an increase 
of $90,807,000 above the enacted level and equal to the 
request. The Committee is providing substantial increases of 
resources to accelerate the deployment of air monitoring 
equipment, especially in overburdened communities, and to 
enhance ongoing efforts at the state level to address emissions 
of carbon pollution.
    Additional Guidance.--The Committee includes the following 
additional guidance with respect to funding provided under this 
account:
    Bonded Indebtedness.--The Committee acknowledges that 
environmental remediation mandates can become burdensome for 
low-income communities. The Agency is encouraged to work with 
these communities to find ways to reduce the bonded 
indebtedness related to environmental remediation mandates, 
especially in urban and rural areas that are in the bottom 
quartile of median income.
    Circuit Rider.--The Committee believes that dedicating 
full-time circuit rider-type positions in each state under both 
drinking water and wastewater authorizations presents a 
significant opportunity to make progress on the most important 
water policy issues and improve compliance in rural and small 
communities. The Agency should ensure that assistance is used 
in a manner that is most beneficial to small and rural 
communities. The Agency is urged to adopt the circuit rider 
model and allocate funding for full-time circuit rider 
positions in each state to support technical assistance 
programs in small and rural communities in each state.
    Clean School Bus Program.--The Committee notes that Public 
Law 117-58 provided $5,000,000,000 for this newly authorized 
program, of which EPA recently made available $500,000,000. An 
additional $1,500,000,000 will be made available during the 
remainder of fiscal year 2022 and for fiscal year 2023. The 
Committee is encouraged by this progress but has concerns about 
the program's implementation. Therefore, the Committee directs 
the Agency to provide a briefing within 30 days of enactment of 
this Act that includes an overview and future plan for the 
program.
    The Committee directs the Agency to conduct outreach to 
inform, encourage, and support potential award recipients in 
historically disadvantaged, underserved, and rural communities 
regarding the availability of resources for the replacement of 
existing school buses with zero-emission school buses. The 
Agency shall collaborate with the Department of Energy and 
Department of Transportation to ensure funding resources for 
the transition to zero-emission school buses, as well as the 
necessary charging infrastructure, vehicle-to-grid 
opportunities, and workforce training programs, are deployed in 
parallel to optimize program outcomes.
    Climate Smart Ports Program.--The Committee recognizes the 
importance of investing in zero emissions technology for ports 
to address climate change and environmental justice concerns. 
The Committee encourages the Agency to explore options to 
develop a program dedicated to reducing port emissions.
    Lead Service Lines.--The Committee recognizes that there is 
a mismatch in the current funding allocation dedicated to lead 
service line replacement in the State Revolving Funds with a 
State's actual lead service line replacement needs. Therefore, 
the Committee encourages the expeditious completion of the 2022 
Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey Assessment, in 
particular, the portion that requires an assessment of the 
costs of replacing all lead service lines, in time for the 
allocation of fiscal year 2023 funds.
    Further, the Committee supports the Agency's work to 
identify whether a service line has lead and the need to 
develop a consistent standard among water systems to inventory 
and map locations of lead service lines. Within 45 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Committee directs the Agency to 
provide a briefing on both issues. The Agency should identify 
the most promising technologies used to identify lead service 
lines and discuss ways to develop voluntary guidelines to 
harmonize standards for creating lead service line maps. The 
briefing should include an outreach strategy for both issues.

    The Committee recommends $1,429,000 for the Office of the 
Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment, $429,000 
above the enacted level and equal to the budget request.

                             FOREST SERVICE

    The U.S. Forest Service manages 193 million acres of 
National Forests, Grasslands, and a Tallgrass Prairie, 
including lands in 44 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico, and cooperates with States, other Federal agencies, 
Tribes and private landowners to sustain the Nation's forests 
and grasslands. The National Forest System (NFS) includes 154 
national forests, 20 national grasslands, 23 national 
recreation areas, a national Tallgrass prairie, 13 national 
monuments, and seven land utilization projects. The Forest 
Service administers a wide variety of programs and activities 
that sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of forests 
and grasslands to include forest and rangeland research, State 
and private forestry assistance, cooperative forest health 
management, international operations, NFS management, and 
wildland fire management.
    Carbon Accounting.--The Committee recognizes our National 
Forests as an essential asset in reducing carbon emissions and 
in the fight against climate change. Healthy forests provide an 
important carbon sink and the Committee recognizes the Forest 
Service's efforts to factor carbon accounting into its land 
management decisions. The Committee directs the Forest Service 
to submit a yearly estimate of carbon accounting on Forest 
Service lands broken down by region in its annual budget 
materials. The Committee expects the increases given to 
numerous programs throughout the Forest Service to combat 
wildfires, invasive species and diseases, rehabilitate burned 
areas, among others, will help contribute to an increased 
amount of carbon stored in our National Forests.
    Conservation Finance.--The Committee applauds the Forest 
Service's innovative application of conservation finance models 
to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire, improve watershed 
health, and improve recreation infrastructure on National 
Forest System lands. The Committee encourages the Service to 
continue conservation finance efforts to leverage non-Federal 
investments in outcome-focused projects and promote 
collaboration with public and private sector partners to 
accelerate the pace and scale of forest management activities 
to support implementation of Public Law 116-152, Public Law 
117-58, and the Service's Confronting The Wildfire Crisis: A 
Strategy for Protecting Communities and Improving Resilience in 
America's Forests.
    Firefighting Technologies.--The Committee encourages the 
Forest Service to work with states through shared stewardship 
agreements to support technologies and cutting-edge scientific 
tools, including Scenario Investment Planning, to target 
wildland fire risk and meet the growing threat that wildland 
fire poses.
    Forest Collaboratives.--The Committee recognizes the proven 
success of forest collaboratives which have helped the Forest 
Service achieve increased harvest levels while also improving 
ecosystem health. Within the funds provided in the NFS 
appropriation, the recommendation provides increased funding to 
be used to make grants, using any authorities available to the 
Forest Service under the ``State and Private Forestry'' 
appropriation, for the purpose of supporting established forest 
collaboratives to expedite project development and approval of 
forest treatments developed by those collaboratives on federal 
forests that have failed to meet harvest targets in at least 
three of the past five years.
    Resource Advisory Committees.--While the Committee 
recognizes the Department of Agriculture's efforts to improve 
the timeliness of Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) appointee 
nominations, nearly sixty percent of RACs currently lack a 
quorum and consequently lack the ability to distribute millions 
of dollars in Title II Secure Rural Schools funds for projects 
and investments in local communities. The Committee directs the 
Secretary of Agriculture to continue accelerating processing 
and approving of these nominations as soon as possible and to 
report to the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act 
on the status of these nominations.
    Salt Cedar and Russian Olive Trees.--The Committee directs 
the Forest Service to consult with the Department of the 
Interior and other relevant federal agencies to consider the 
feasibility of establishing a pilot program to combat salt 
cedar and Russian olive trees in the West. Within 180 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Committee directs the Forest Service 
to provide a report detailing the parameters of a potential 
pilot program, including how the program would be 
scientifically based and take a watershed approach; performance 
metrics to track species removed annually; costs to support the 
program over seven fiscal years; the uniform policies and 
procedures to transparently carry out supporting grants; and 
plans to collaborate with local stakeholders and identify high-
priority areas. As part of this report, the Forest Service 
should consider how a pilot program could build on and enhance 
existing Forest Service efforts for controlling salt cedar and 
Russian olive trees.
    Sawmill Capacity.--The Committee directs the Forest Service 
to provide a report within 180 days of enactment of this Act 
detailing the status of research about mill capacity in the 
western United States. As part of this report, the Committee 
encourages the Forest Service to consider how such capacity 
relates to new sawmill capacity and related infrastructure 
improvements required to meet the needs of forest management 
activities to restore forest health and reduce the risk, 
severity, and frequency of catastrophic wildfire. Additionally, 
the Committee encourages the Forest Service to include 
information on the number of sawmill closures over the past 20 
years, and how such closures may have impacted the Forest 
Service's response to the wildfire crisis.
    Use of Sediment.--The Forest Service is directed to report 
to the Committee within 180 days of enactment of this Act on 
the feasibility of using uncontaminated sediment removed from 
impoundments for beneficial uses on Forest Service lands.

                       FOREST SERVICE OPERATIONS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $1,069,086,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     1,112,652,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     1,112,652,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +43,566,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................                 0
 

    The Committee recommends $1,112,652,000 for Forest Service 
Operations, $43,566,000 above the enacted level and equal to 
the budget request.
    Facilities Maintenance and Leases.--The Committee 
recommends $169,900,000 for Facilities Maintenance and Leases, 
$9,000,000 above the enacted level and equal to the budget 
request. The Committee directs the Forest Service to adequately 
plan and budget for staffing, operations, and maintenance costs 
of new facilities as they come online, including, but not 
limited to, new visitor centers resulting from U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers projects.
    Wildland Fire Readiness and Response.--The Committee notes 
that the Forest Service relies heavily on the Remote Automated 
Weather Station (RAWS) network primarily for weather 
information and it is increasingly using fire surveillance 
cameras. Due to the increasing incidence of destructive 
wildfires throughout the western United States, to potentially 
improve wildland fire detection on Federal lands, the Committee 
directs the Service to continue assessing fire prone areas that 
are not adequately observed by fire surveillance cameras and, 
and provides not less than $2,000,000, to consider acquiring 
additional camera systems and RAWs networks and deploying them, 
where possible and appropriate, on existing radio 
communications towers.
    Smokejumper Base.--The Committee recognizes that the North 
Cascades Smokejumper Base in Winthrop, Washington, needs 
facility upgrades, improvements, and renovations to meet 
Federal Aviation Administration compliance standards and 
requirements. The Committee understands the Forest Service has 
completed a Preliminary Project Analysis recommending 
maintaining the base and notes the site's historical 
significance and value to the local community. The Committee 
urges the Forest Service to devote the necessary resources to 
ensure the base can maintain operational excellence.

                     FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $296,616,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................       317,773,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................       360,370,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +63,754,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................       +42,597,000
 

    The Committee recommends $360,370,000 for Forest and 
Rangeland Research, $63,754,000 above the enacted level and 
$42,597,000 above the budget request.
    Forest Inventory and Analysis.--The recommendation includes 
$37,700,000 for Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA), 
$15,503,000 above the enacted level and the budget request. The 
recommendation also includes a significant increase for Forest 
and Rangeland Research Salaries and Expenses above the 
requested level to facilitate the implementation of this 
essential work.
    The Committee is aware that full implementation of options 
C and D described within the most recent FIA Strategic Plan, 
including increasing data collection to a 5-year remeasurement 
cycle, will require additional resources. However, the 
Committee expects the increases provided will allow the Service 
to expand the capacity in the areas described in the Strategic 
Plan and for specific activities such as standardizing FIA 
field protocols and analysis nationally to ensure credible and 
consistent data and analysis; expanding investments in and 
integration of remote sensing and satellite technologies and 
programs with field data; improving online tools that support 
real-world applications of the data; and assessing landscape-
scale or regional-scale net carbon stocking. The Committee 
further encourages the service to begin accelerating data 
collection on the base grid to a 5-year remeasurement cycle 
nationwide across all forest types, including all privately 
owned forests.
    Within the increase provided for Forest Inventory and 
Analysis, the Committee provides an increase above enacted for 
the Timber Products Output survey to ensure a sustainable 
timber supply for climate-friendly building materials. The 
Committee recognizes that reductions in federal timber harvests 
since the 1980s have negatively impacted rural economies and 
resulted in a loss of economically viable uses for private and 
state timber that is not within an economic hauling distance, 
exacerbating the impact of the federal timber harvest 
reductions. Timber resources are under-utilized and being lost 
to catastrophic wildfires and accelerated mortality due to 
climate change. In addition, the Committee notes escalating 
trade tensions have significantly reduced U.S. wood product 
exports from the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region, as an example. 
The Committee directs Forest Service Research and Development 
to work with academic partners to leverage FIA program data and 
information to conduct economic analyses focused on ensuring a 
sustainable timber supply for the growing demand for climate-
friendly building materials, with the goal of helping 
revitalize depressed rural communities with economic activity. 
The Service should identify, within specific regional 
geographies, investments relative to forestry industry 
infrastructure that can sustainably supply growing demand while 
increasing rural jobs and improving forest health. The Service 
is also encouraged to identify underserved geographies, 
including tribal timberlands, that could support and benefit 
from investments in processing capacity.
    Research and Development.--The recommendation includes 
$76,000,000 for research and development activities, 
$26,000,000 above the enacted level and equal to the budget 
request.
    Joint Fire Science.--The Forest Service is directed to 
provide $4,500,000 to the Joint Fire Science program for fiscal 
year 2023, $500,000 above the enacted level and $500,000 above 
the budget request. The Committee urges the program to ensure 
that a broad network of academic researchers is considered for 
funding and that the program addresses the range of research 
needs to enhance wildland fire resiliency and to address 
barriers to wildfire management. The Committee encourages the 
Joint Fire Science Program to enhance its attention to 
understanding how invasive species affect fuels, fire behavior, 
and fire regimes and exploring how indigenous practices may be 
beneficial to wildfire prevention, response, and resilience. 
The Committee urges the Joint Fire Science Program to conduct 
additional research on 3D fire and fuels modelling, proactive 
wildfire resiliency, including resilient landscapes and fire-
adapted communities, two of the topics from the 2014 National 
Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy.
    The Committee notes the interest of Members of Congress, 
States, and stakeholders in funding specific research 
laboratories, programs, and projects, including those noted 
below. This report emphasizes some of the research activities 
of importance to the Committee and expects the Forest Service 
to develop a research program that reflects these priorities as 
well as the other activities and programs most critical to 
forest health, particularly with respect to climate change 
adaption, preventing the spread of disease and invasive 
species, and watershed improvement.
    Fire and Smoke Modeling.--The Committee provides not less 
than the fiscal year 2022 enacted level to support the 
requirements of Section 114 of Public Law 116-9, the John D. 
Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, 
which requires the Forest Service to strengthen the link 
between research and wildfire suppression operations and 
upgrading decision support systems and new analytical tools to 
help fire suppression, specifically to support the Fire and 
Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE).
    Fire Plan Research and Development.--The Committee supports 
continued research that significantly contributes to the 
understanding of wildfire regimes, and the development of new 
firefighting technologies and decision support tools.
    Forest Products Laboratory.--The Committee provides not 
less than the fiscal year 2022 enacted level for the Forest 
Products Laboratory to continue research to advance wood 
markets, including research on wood-based nanotechnology; 
advanced wood products that incorporate carbon fiber; and wood 
use in building construction including research on the life 
cycle impacts of wood as a building material.
    Carbon Uptake in Trees Research.--The Committee supports 
research optimizing and improving understanding of carbon 
uptake in trees in a manner consistent with advancing 
traditional food and fiber mission objectives and provides not 
less than enacted for this work. The Service's forest 
monitoring system should include carbon and add remote 
monitoring, modeling the technical, economic, and social

reforestation needs across the country, specifically those 
needs related to the 2020 wildfire season. The Committee 
directs the Forest Service, within 90 days of enactment of this 
Act, to provide a briefing on reforestation needs across the 
National Forest System and state and private forest lands, with 
an emphasis on the challenges of meeting these goals including 
availability of seedlings and nursery capacity.
    Shared Stewardship Strategy.--The Committee notes the 
benefits of the Forest Service working with States through 
Shared Stewardship to identify priorities for landscape-scale 
treatments that increase the scope and scale of critical forest 
treatments, including wildfire mitigation and restoration, to 
support communities and improve ecosystem function. The 
Committee directs the Forest Service to continue its efforts to 
engage States under the Shared Stewardship Strategy and 
supports the use of National Forest System funding to implement 
projects jointly developed by States and the Forest Service 
under this framework.
    Wild Horse and Burros.--The Committee emphasizes the 
importance of screening adopters and purchasers to ensure the 
welfare and safe outcomes for the horses and burros adopted and 
sold by the agency. The Committee is encouraged by the 
Service's continued collaboration with the Bureau of Land 
Management on this issue and with its development of a database 
to track these animals on and off the range in fiscal year 
2021.

    Wildland Fire Suppression Operations.--The Committee 
recommends $1,011,000,000 for Wildland Fire Suppression 
Operations, the enacted level and the budget request. The 
recommended amount is the fiscal year 2015 10-year average cost 
for wildland fire suppression.
    Full-time Federal Wildland Firefighters.--The fire season 
in the West is no longer restricted to one season, but is 
nearly year-round. The Committee supports the Department's 
efforts to develop a professional year-round workforce to 
combat these fires and therefore provides additional funds 
again for fiscal year 2023 to continue this transition.
    Wildland Firefighter Pay.--New wildland firefighters are 
often classified as ``forestry technicians.'' It is the sense 
of the committee that federal firefighters should be provided 
with a competitive salary. The Committee is encouraged by the 
Service's work to develop a new ``Wildland Firefighter'' 
occupational series and urges the Service to additionally 
ensure that the pay class of firefighters provides a 
competitive salary.
    Hazardous Fuels.--The Committee recommends $321,388,000 for 
Hazardous Fuels, $321,388,000 above enacted in Wildland Fire 
Management, $134,000,000 above the enacted level within 
National Forest System from which the line item was moved and 
equal to the budget request.
    Wood Innovation Grant Program.--The wood innovation grant 
program expands wood products and wood energy markets that 
support forest management and deliver economic and 
environmental benefits to communities. The Committee directs 
the Forest Service to support the Wood Innovation Grant Program 
at not less than $30,000,000, $10,000,000 above enacted and 
$20,000,000 above the budget request.
    Community Wood Energy and Wood Innovations Program.--The 
Committee directs the Forest Service to support the Community 
Wood Energy Systems and Innovative Wood Products Facilities 
grant program at not less than $18,000,000, $6,000,000 above 
enacted and $5,500,000 above the budget request.
    Prescribed Fire Management.--To improve the management of 
our national wildlands and reduce the occurrence of costly 
wildfires, the Committee directs the Forest Service to continue 
conducting collaborative research to develop remote sensing 
capabilities that include acoustic technologies for wildfire 
monitoring. Within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the 
Committee directs the Forest Service to provide a briefing on 
ongoing efforts to utilize funding provided in fiscal year 2022 
to investigate and develop this technology prior to its 
application in the field and any future funding needs 
associated with this research.
    Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes.--The Committee 
directs the Forest Service to continue supporting the Southwest 
Ecological Restoration Institutes at not less than $8,000,000 
and to consider, if beneficial given the Service's research and 
collaboration needs, adding an Interior West institute in the 
State of Nevada, consistent with Public Law 108-317.
    Vegetation Management Reporting.--Given the increasing 
intensity of wildfires in our nation's forests and the effect 
that unmanaged vegetation can have on increasing the intensity 
of wildfires, rate of spread, and the number of annual acres of 
forests burned, the Committee directs the Forest Service to 
provide a report within 90 days of enactment of this Act on 
planned vegetation management actions to address the threat of 
wildfires, including how funding provided through Public Law 
117-58 will support this work and accomplish the goals of the 
recently announced 10 year wildfire strategy.
    Burned Area Rehabilitation.--Burned area recovery funding 
is important to forest health and to preventing future 
wildfires from devastating the same areas again. The Committee 
continues to view this work as a priority and directs the 
Service to report to the Committee within 90 days of enactment 
of this Act on a strategy to ensure burned area recovery work 
is being adequately prioritized, including a plan to establish 
a new budget line in fiscal year 2024 or other actions to 
prioritize this work, if appropriate.
    Shared Stewardship.--The 2020 wildfire year in California 
was the largest in California history. The Forest Service is a 
model for shared stewardship principles working with States and 
local authorities to target strategic acres for vegetation 
management. Forest Service Stewardship contracts focus on 
removing vegetation or other activities to promote healthy 
forests, reduce fire hazards, or achieve other land management 
objectives. The Committee is concerned about the increasing 
intensity of wildfires in our nation's forests. Vegetation 
management includes controlling unwanted vegetation such as 
invasive weed species that, when left unmanaged, have the 
effect of increasing intensity, rate of spread and the number 
of annual acres of forests burned. The Committee urges the 
Service to engage State and local partners on increasing the 
annual amount of forest acres improved through vegetation 
management.
    Wildfire Management Technologies.--Recognizing that the 
Forest Service is continually researching and implementing new 
tools, technologies, and creative solutions for fighting 
wildfires, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the 
Committee directs the Forest Service to provide a report that 
assesses the feasibility of working with the National 
Interagency Aviation Committee and the International Airtanker 
Board to conduct an evaluation of innovative new technologies, 
such as the Container Aerial Fire Fighting System, as 
appropriate and whether any new technologies which may meet the 
Service's standards of water and retardant delivery systems 
including retardant delivery standards for safety, 
airworthiness, coverage level, consistent delivery, delivery 
time, precision delivery, and ground firefighter safety. As 
part of this report, the Forest Service should consider whether 
updates are appropriate to its procedures and deployment 
protocols to include innovative wildfire technologies now 
available in the United States. The Committee also notes that 
the Forest Service can utilize ground-based, long-term fire 
retardants as a wildfire prevention tool when conducting 
prescribed burns, and other mitigation and fuel reduction 
efforts.

              WILDFIRE SUPPRESSION OPERATIONS RESERVE FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $2,120,000,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................     2,210,000,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................     2,210,000,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +90,000,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................                 0
 

    The bill includes $2,210,000,000 for the Wildfire 
Suppression Operations Reserve Fund, $90,000,000 above the 
enacted level and equal to the budget request. Section 1(g) of 
H. Res. 1151 of the 117th Congress as engrossed in the House of 
Representatives on June 8, 2022 included a budget cap 
adjustment for wildfire suppression costs and this additional 
funding is included for fiscal year 2023. Of the additional 
$2,550,000,000 available for fire suppression operations, 
$2,210,000,000 is provided to the Forest Service and the 
remaining $340,000,000 is available through a transfer from the 
Department of the Interior. The Committee provides these 
additional funds and authorities to ensure that sufficient 
funds are available to protect American homes, lands, and 
wildlife from catastrophic fires without requiring a transfer 
of funds from the very activities that advance forest health 
and prevent wildland fires. The Committee expects the Forest 
Service to use suppression funds judiciously and continue to 
work closely with the Office of Management and Budget and the 
Department of the Interior to accurately account for 
expenditures and recover costs.

                   COMMUNICATIONS SITE ADMINISTRATION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    The bill includes language permitting amounts collected in 
fiscal year 2023 for Communications Site Administration to be 
deposited and subsequently transferred to the ``National Forest 
System'' account.

               ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS, FOREST SERVICE

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The Committee has included administrative provisions that 
provide further direction on the use and transfer of 
appropriated funds provided to the Forest Service.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


                         Indian Health Service

    The provision of federal health services to Indians is 
based on a treaty and trust relationship between Indian Tribes 
and the U.S. Government first set forth in the 1830s by the 
United States Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Marshall. 
Numerous treaties, statutes, constitutional provisions, and 
international laws have reconfirmed this relationship. 
Principle among these is the Snyder Act of 1921, which provides 
the basic authority for most Indian health services provided by 
the Federal government to American Indians and Alaska Natives 
(AI/AN). The Indian Health Service (IHS) provides direct health 
care services in 24 hospitals, 51 health centers, 12 school 
health centers, and 25 health stations. Tribes and Tribal 
groups, through contracts and compacts with IHS, operate 22 
hospitals, 319 health centers, 79 health stations, 146 Alaska 
village clinics, and 12 school health centers.

                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................    $4,660,658,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................                 0
Recommended, 2023.....................................     5,734,044,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................    +1,073,386,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................    +5,734,044,000
 

    The Committee recommends $5,734,044,000 for Indian Health 
Services, $1,073,386,000 above the enacted level and 
$5,734,044,000 above the budget request. The Committee does not 
agree to any program changes unless discussed below. IHS is 
expected to continue all programs and activities at enacted 
levels except as otherwise discussed below and summarized in 
the table at the end of this report. The recommendation 
includes $109,082,000 for pay increases and inflation costs. 
All increases are general program adjustments unless otherwise 
specified. The bill makes funds available for two years unless 
otherwise specified.
    For fiscal year 2023, the Administration proposed 
reclassifying IHS accounts as mandatory and did not submit a 
discretionary budget proposal. However, IHS did not provide 
implementation language and at the time of writing this report, 
the authorizing committees have not enacted the President's 
proposal. Because the authorizing committees have not acted, 
the Committee is providing discretionary funds for IHS for 
fiscal year 2023 to ensure health care for Native Americans is 
not negatively impacted.
    As directed in fiscal year 2022, the Committee continues to 
expect IHS to submit a report detailing the challenges it, as 
well as Tribes and UIOs, faced over the course of the pandemic 
and how they were resolved and a report of its evaluation of 
pandemic response to the Committee. Also as directed in fiscal 
year 2022, the Committee continues to direct IHS to provide 
quarterly updates on how the agency is addressing 
recommendations related to its high-risk designation. The 
Committee also continues to expect IHS to apprise the Committee 
of ongoing investigations into patient abuse allegations and 
any legislative recommendations for Congress to prevent abuse, 
harm, and misconduct from happening again. In addition, IHS is 
to monitor and ensure Tribally operated programs conduct 
required background checks and to expeditiously implement all 
outstanding Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
recommendations.
    Preventing Child Sexual Abuse.--Between 2019 and 2020, the 
Inspector General, GAO, and a dedicated White House Task Force 
made recommendations on how to prevent and address future 
instances of sexual abuse at IHS. IHS claims insufficient 
resources prevent the agency from implementing all 
recommendations. Despite proposing mandatory funding with a two 
billion dollar plus increase above the fiscal year 2022 
discretionary appropriation, IHS did not include funding to 
fully implement all recommendations to prevent child sexual 
abuse. Further the Committee is still waiting for responses to 
questions from a Member briefing on this issue. The Committee 
directs IHS to immediately respond to all outstanding Committee 
requests and expects IHS to use resources provided in this Act 
to implement the recommendations.
    Staffing for New Facilities.--The recommendation includes 
$94,083,000 for staffing newly-opened health facilities. This 
amount represents the full amount required based on updated 
estimates provided to the Committee. Funds for Staffing for New 
Facilities are limited to facilities funded through the Health 
Care Facilities Construction Priority System or the Joint 
Venture Construction Program that opened in fiscal year 2022 or 
will open in fiscal year 2023. Funds may not be allocated to a 
facility until such facility has achieved beneficial occupancy 
status. The Committee understands that amounts required for 
staffing new facilities continue to evolve, due in part to when 
facilities achieve beneficial occupancy. IHS is expected to 
update the Committee as beneficial occupancy dates change.
    Third Party Collections.--The Committee continues to direct 
IHS to consult with direct service Tribes about eligible uses 
of third party collections and report to the Committee on 
whether more weight should be afforded Tribal views on the use 
of third party funds and the reason for any outcomes within 180 
days of enactment of this Act.
    Hospitals and Health Clinics.--The recommendation includes 
$2,766,028,000 for Hospitals and Health Clinics, $366,859,000 
above the enacted level and $2,766,028,000 above the budget 
request. Within the increase, an additional $20,000,000 is 
provided to expand the Community Health Aide Program to the 
lower 48 states with direction for IHS to report within 90 days 
of enactment of this Act on how funds will be distributed, an 
additional $10,000,000 is for Tribal Epidemiology Centers, and 
an additional $47,000,000 is for the Hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS and 
STDs initiative. The Committee recommends $27,000,000 for 
assessments and continues to urge IHS to evaluate whether it 
would be more appropriate to account for these costs in Direct 
Operations for future years. The recommendation also includes 
an additional $4,000,000 to improve maternal health with 
continued direction to report to the Committee within 180 days 
of enactment of this Act on use of funds, updates on staff 
hiring, status of related standards, and the amount of training 
provided with these funds.
    Alzheimer's Disease.--The recommendation maintains 
$5,500,000 to continue Alzheimer's and related dementia 
activities at IHS. These funds will further efforts on 
Alzheimer's awareness campaigns tailored for the AI/AN 
perspective to increase recognition of early signs of 
Alzheimer's and other dementias; quarterly, competency-based 
training curriculum, either in-person or virtually, for primary 
care practitioners to ensure a core competency on assessing, 
diagnosing, and managing individuals with Alzheimer's and other 
dementias; pilot programs to increase early detection and 
accurate diagnosis, including evidence based caregiver services 
within Indian Country, inclusive of urban Indian organizations 
(UIO); and an annual report to the Committee with data elements 
including the prevalence of Alzheimer's incidence in the 
preceding year, and access to services within 90 days of the 
end of each fiscal year. The Committee continues direction to 
develop a plan, in consultation with Indian Tribes and urban 
confer with UIOs, to assist those with Alzheimer's, the 
additional services required, and the costs associated with 
increasing Alzheimer's patients and submit this information to 
Congress within 270 days of enactment of this Act.
    Accreditation Emergencies.--The recommendation continues 
$58,000,000 to assist IHS-operated facilities that have been 
terminated or received notice of termination from the Centers 
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare program while 
under operation by IHS. Funding shall be allocated to such 
facilities in amounts to restore or maintain compliance; 
supplement purchased/referred care, including transportation, 
in the event of temporary closure of such facility or one or 
more of its departments; and compensate for third-party 
collection shortfalls resulting from being out of compliance. 
Primary consideration should be given to facilities that have 
been without certification the longest or that need assistance 
to maintain newly achieved re-certification. Shortfalls shall 
be calculated relative to the average of the collections in 
each of the two fiscal years preceding the year in which an 
agreement with CMS was terminated or put on notice of 
termination. The funds may not be used for purposes other than 
those described herein.
    Produce Prescription Pilot Program.--The Committee 
continues $3,000,000 for IHS to create, in coordination with 
Tribes and UIOs, a pilot program to implement a produce 
prescription model to increase access to produce and other 
traditional foods among its service population. Within 60 days 
of enactment of this Act, the Committee expects IHS to explain 
how the funds are to be distributed and the metrics to be used 
to measure success of the pilot, which shall include engagement 
metrics, and may include appropriate health outcomes metrics, 
if feasible.
    Headache Disorders Centers of Excellence.--The Committee 
recognizes that over 560,000 people under IHS care are living 
with migraine or severe headache disorders and that AI/AN 
communities have the highest prevalence of both disabling 
headache disorders and concussion/mild traumatic brain 
injuries, among any racial or ethnic group in the United 
States. The Committee is concerned that AI/AN patients with 
chronic migraine, post-traumatic headache, and other disabling 
headache disorders often do not receive necessary specialty 
care. The IHS is encouraged to consider the feasibility of IHS 
Headache Centers of Excellence and if feasible, developing a 
budget proposal to establish IHS Headache Centers of Excellence 
to provide direct care, telehealth, and consultation patient 
services, as well as education and training.
    Colorectal Cancer.--The Committee is concerned about the 
disproportionate impact in both morbidity and costs of 
colorectal cancer (CRC) on Tribal communities and notes recent 
efforts to bring FDA approved blood-based screening methods to 
patients at health fairs and non-traditional settings. The 
Committee questions whether a potential drop in screening rates 
due to the pandemic may result in a likely increase in CRC 
deaths in Native populations. For this reason, the Committee 
urges IHS to consider the potential use of FDA approved blood-
based testing with Native populations.
    Electronic Health Records.--To improve the current IT 
infrastructure system to support deployment of a new modern 
electronic health records (EHR) solution, the recommendation 
includes $284,500,000 for Electronic Health Records, 
$139,481,000 above the enacted level and $284,500,000 above the 
budget request.
    The bill continues language prohibiting IHS from obligating 
or expending funds to select or implement a new IT 
infrastructure system unless IHS notifies the Committee at 
least 90 days before such funds are obligated or expended. In 
addition, the Committee notes that funding used to select the 
core components appropriate to support the initial capacity of 
the system are covered by the bill language. The Committee also 
expects IHS to provide quarterly updates to the Committee on 
the status and implementation of a Request for Proposal to 
select core components appropriate to support the initial 
capacity of a modernized EHR, on selected pilot or expansion 
sites and the associated costs with each site, as well as all 
other activities and costs associated with modernization and 
expansion of EHR.
    The Committee urges IHS to continue moving forward with 
modernizing its aging EHR system by replacing it with a 
solution that is interoperable with the new EHR at the 
Department of Veterans Affairs and with systems purchased by 
Tribes and UIOs. Modernization should include robust Tribal 
consultation and planning to ensure that Tribes and UIOs are 
enabled to take full advantage of resulting modern health 
information technology and are not unduly burdened during this 
process. A modern system should increase security of patient 
data and promote efficiencies of care, empowering Tribal 
veterans who utilize care from both IHS and VA providers and 
ensuring complete and accurate records of all IHS beneficiaries 
no matter where they receive care.
    It will also be vitally important for a portion of the 
funding to support health information technology workforce 
recruitment and training programs for IHS. Training programs 
provide an onramp to careers in health care and technology by 
meeting historically underrepresented individuals where they 
are in the community and will remedy the documented health care 
staffing shortages seen at these facilities.
    The Committee is concerned about the disparate impact the 
COVID-19 pandemic has had on the health and well-being of AI/AN 
populations. It is important, therefore, that IHS consider 
options for deploying a population health data platform as part 
of its modernization effort that can analyze EHR data and share 
resources and capabilities already available at other federal 
departments. In doing so, IHS can enhance its abilities to 
understand chronic conditions affecting IHS patient 
populations, research social determinants of health, and assist 
Tribal governments in building their public health 
infrastructure.
    Dental Health.--The recommendation includes $307,902,000 
for Dental Health, $72,114,000 above the enacted level and 
$307,902,000 above the budget request.
    Dental Support Centers.--The Committee recognizes the 
importance of Dental Support Centers (DSCs) in providing 
technical support, training, and assistance in clinical and 
preventive efforts of the dental program. Many IHS dentists 
practice in isolated areas without immediate access to 
specialty services. DSCs provide them with the necessary 
expertise and experience they need to address challenging oral 
health demands. Within the increase for Dental Health, the 
Committee includes an additional $1,500,000 to enable IHS to 
expand DSCs to all 12 service areas with the flexibility to 
regionalize DSC operations as needed to provide their services 
efficiently.
    Electronic Dental Records.--The Committee applauds the 
Service for successfully installing an electronic dental 
records (EDR) system. Within the increase for Dental Health, 
the Committee provides includes an additional $1,000,000 to 
manage the current electronic dental records system. IHS is 
directed to expand their efforts in planning and developing 
greater data and information exchange between the EHR system 
and the EDR system.
    Mental Health.--The recommendation includes $129,960,000 
for Mental Health, $8,014,000 above the enacted level and 
$129,960,000 above the budget request.
    Alcohol and Substance Abuse.--The Committee provides 
$264,032,000 for Alcohol and Substance Abuse, $5,689,000 above 
the enacted level and $264,032,000 above the budget request. 
This amount transfers $31,000 to Urban Indians from the former 
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). 
Funding for Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention grants is 
continued at fiscal year 2022 enacted levels. The Service is 
encouraged to allocate at least one grant each for the 
Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention Program and the 
Community Opioid Intervention Pilot Program to a reservation 
that serves more than one Tribe, provided that any such grant 
recipients have met program criteria.
    Culturally Adapted Treatments for Substance Use 
Disorders.--The Committee is concerned that alcohol and opioid 
use disorders continue to be some of the most severe public 
health and safety problems facing AI/AN individuals, families, 
and communities. To address this problem, the Committee 
continues to direct IHS to increase its support for culturally 
competent preventive, educational, and treatment services 
programs and partner with academic institutions with 
established AI/AN training and health professions programs to 
research and promote culturally responsive care. Additionally, 
the Committee encourages IHS to employ the full spectrum of 
medication assisted treatments (MAT) for alcohol and opioid use 
disorders, including non-narcotic treatment options that are 
less subject to diversion combined with counseling services. 
IHS should prioritize efforts that leverage existing clinical 
networks, consortia, technology solutions, and encompass the 
AI/AN rural population.
    Purchased/Referred Care.--The recommendation includes 
$1,097,255,000 for Purchased/Referred Care, $112,368,000 above 
the enacted level and $1,097,255,000 above the budget request. 
This amount includes an additional $1,000,000 for the Indian 
Catastrophic Health Fund.
    Indian Health Care Improvement Fund.--The recommendation 
provides $232,138,000 for the Indian Health Care Improvement 
Fund (IHCIF), $158,000,000 above the enacted level and 
$232,138,000 above the budget request. These funds are used to 
reduce funding inequities across the IHS system. The Committee 
understands the IHCIF workgroup is close to finalizing a report 
detailing its recommendations for future allocations of any 
IHCIF funding increases, and that IHS will conduct Tribal 
consultation on those recommendations. The Service is directed 
to provide the Committee an update on the activities of the 
IHCIF workgroup, and its evaluation of the existing allocation 
formula and Tribal recommendations for potential revisions. The 
Service should specifically address the use of an economy-of-
scale weighting factor. The Service should also address any 
consideration the workgroup gave to prioritizing service units 
with the lowest funding levels that have had the largest 
patient population increases over the past three years, and 
service units that receive the lowest levels of Federal health 
care funding.
    Urban Indian Health.--The recommendation includes 
$200,000,000 for Urban Indian Health, $126,576,000 above the 
enacted level and $200,000,000 above the budget request. This 
amount includes $31,000 transferred from the Alcohol and 
Substance Abuse Program as part of the for NIAAA program. The 
Committee expects the Service to continue including current 
services estimates for Urban Indian health in annual budget 
requests.
    Indian Health Professions.--The recommendation provides 
$93,568,000 for Indian Health Professions, $20,529,000 above 
the enacted level and $93,568,000 above the budget request. 
This amount includes an additional $20,000,000 for scholarship 
and loan repayment programs. The Committee recognizes that the 
loan repayment program has proven to be the Service's best 
recruitment and retention tool to ensure an adequate health 
workforce to serve in remote locations. The IHS currently has 
over 1,398 vacancies for health care professionals. In fiscal 
year 2021, a total of 1,658 health care professionals received 
loan repayment. However, IHS had 341 requests for loan 
repayment that could not be fulfilled. At the same time, the 
Service had over 500 new scholarship applicants but was only 
able to fund 255 new awards. The additional funding will help 
the Service close these award gaps.
    The Committee continues its strong support for the nursing, 
medicine, and psychology grant programs which fund colleges and 
universities to train students for health professions. These 
programs provide support to students during their health career 
professional pathway and encourage students to practice in the 
Indian health system. Therefore, the recommendation continues 
funding for the Quentin N. Burdick American Indians Into 
Nursing Program; the Indians Into Medicine Program, including 
the fourth site expansion; and the American Indians Into 
Psychology Program at fiscal year 2022 enacted levels.
    Direct Operations.--The recommendation includes 
$135,387,000 for Direct Operations, $40,341,000 above the 
enacted level and $135,387,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee includes an additional $17,582,000 for quality and 
oversight activities and an additional $20,000,000 for 
management and operations. The Committee expects IHS to 
prioritize the increase for management and operations to 
implement recommendations to prevent child sexual abuse, and 
strongly encourages IHS to use up to $1,000,000 of the increase 
to support agency efforts, including pilot programs, to 
implement Executive Order 14019. Within 90 days of enactment of 
this Act, the Committee directs IHS to report to the Committee 
on how the funds were used to implement Executive Order 14019, 
as well as best mechanisms and additional resources required to 
fully implement the Executive Order.

                         CONTRACT SUPPORT COSTS

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $880,000,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................                 0
Recommended, 2023.....................................       969,000,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +89,000,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................      +969,000,000
 

    The Committee recommends an indefinite appropriation 
estimated to be $969,000,000 for contract support costs 
incurred by the agency as required by law. The bill continues 
language making such sums as are necessary to meet the Federal 
government's full legal obligation and prohibiting the transfer 
of funds to any other account for any other purpose. In 
addition, the bill includes language specifying carryover funds 
may be applied to subsequent years' contract support costs.

language making such sums as necessary to meet the Federal 
government's full legal obligation and prohibits the transfer 
of funds to any other account for any other purpose.

                        INDIAN HEALTH FACILITIES

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $940,328,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................                 0

Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................      +366,651,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................    +1,306,979,000
 

    The Committee recommends $1,306,979,000 for Indian Health 
Facilities, $366,651,000 above the enacted level and 
$1,306,979,000 above the budget request. The Committee includes 
$11,324,000 for pay increases and inflation and expects IHS to 
continue all programs and activities at enacted levels, except 
as otherwise discussed below and summarized in the table at the 
end of this report. All increases are general program increases 
unless otherwise specified below.
    Staffing for New Facilities.--The recommendation includes 
$8,414,000 for staffing newly opened health facilities. Funding 
for Staffing for New Facilities represents the full amount 
required based on updated estimates provided to the Committee. 
Funds for Staffing for New Facilities are limited to facilities 
funded through the Health Care Facilities Construction Priority 
System or the Joint Venture Construction Program that have 
opened in fiscal year 2022 or will open in fiscal year 2023. 
None of these funds may be allocated to a facility until such 
facility has achieved beneficial occupancy status.
    Maintenance and Improvement.--The recommendation includes 
$310,595,000 for Maintenance and Improvement, $140,931,000 
above the enacted level and $310,595,000 above the budget 
request. This amount includes $21,000,000 transferred from 
sanitation facilities construction as IHS indicated via a 
proposed reprogramming that the funds are no longer needed for 
the original purpose for which the funds were provided. These 
funds, as well as the general program increase, shall now be 
available for maintenance and improvement projects.
    Sanitation Facilities Construction.--The recommendation 
includes $175,167,000 for Sanitation Facilities Construction, 
$22,616,000 below the enacted level and $175,167,000 above the 
budget request. This amount includes a $3,000,000 transfer of 
funds for technical assistance to sanitation operators to the 
Facilities and Environmental Health Support line. Further, in 
2021, Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 
Act, Public Law 117-58 (IIJA) fully funding the sanitation 
facilities backlog. In 2023, IHS proposed reprogramming 
$21,000,000 of fiscal year 2022 sanitation facilities 
construction funds to another line thereby indicating these 
funds are no longer needed for sanitation facilities. To help 
address the maintenance and improvement backlog, the Committee 
is transferring these funds to maintenance and improvement to 
help address that backlog.
    Health Care Facilities Construction.--The recommendation 
includes $399,896,000 for Health Care Facilities Construction, 
$140,603,000 above the enacted level and $399,896,000 above the 
budget request. The increase includes an additional $40,000,000 
for staff quarters and continues $5,000,000 to incorporate 
planning, design, and operations of buildings to reduce costs, 
minimize environmental impacts, use renewable energy and 
incorporate green infrastructure and the most current energy 
efficiency codes and standards to the maximum extent 
practicable. The Committee directs IHS to submit a report to 
the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act 
explaining how it proposes to use the funds provided for green 
infrastructure and renewable energy.
    Facilities and Environmental Health Support.--The 
recommendation includes $302,810,000 for Facilities and 
Environmental Health Support, $19,686,000 above the enacted 
level and $302,810,000 above the budget request. This amount 
includes a $3,000,000 increase due to the transfer of technical 
assistance funds for sanitation operators from the Sanitation 
Facilities Construction line. Within funds provided, IHS may 
use up to $49,000,000 for administrative costs to implement the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58.
    Equipment.--The recommendation includes $118,511,000 for 
Equipment, $88,047,000 above the enacted level and $118,511,000 
above the budget request. The bill continues $500,000 for 
TRANSAM.
    The Committee is aware that the increasing severity and 
frequency of extreme weather events has motivated certain 
jurisdictions to adopt de-energization protocols to reduce the 
risks of catastrophic wildfires. While these protocols are 
useful in limiting loss of life in affected communities, they 
can also have dire consequences for Tribal Health Programs 
located in impacted areas. To increase the resilience of these 
facilities, the recommendation includes an additional 
$17,000,000 to purchase generators for IHS, Tribal Health 
Programs, and Urban Indian Organizations located in areas 
impacted by de-energization events. In procuring backup 
generators, the Indian Health Service is directed to determine 
the most cost-effective method, which may include leasing. In 
determining the most cost-effective procurement method, the 
Service shall account for life-cycle maintenance costs 
associated with direct ownership and clinics' capabilities to 
maintain these generators.
    Indian Health Care Improvement Fund.--The bill includes 
language allowing funds in the Indian Health Care Improvement 
Fund to be used for activities in the Facilities account.

                     National Institutes of Health


          NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES

    The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences 
(NIEHS), an agency within the National Institutes of Health,

emergency situations. NIEHS is encouraged to continue its work 
supporting communities' capacity to respond to pandemics and 
disasters.
    Risk Communications.--The Committee is acutely aware of the 
significant need for effective risk communications methods, 
particularly as part of broader strategies to reduce exposures 
and to mitigate risks to public health and the environment. The 
Committee strongly supports the Superfund Research Program's 
ongoing work in this area and urges NIEHS to continue to 
develop communications toolkits that utilize the most effective 
strategies for targeting and educating communities of 
environmental risks. The Committee believes that such 
communications toolkits should be tailored to account for 
differences in regional, cultural, educational, linguistic, and 
other demographic factors that can impact the effectiveness of 
risk communications.

            Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry


            TOXIC SUBSTANCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH

  Appropriation, 2022.................................                 0
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        -4,000,000
 

    The Committee does not recommend new appropriations for 
fiscal year 2023; however, a total of $3,060,000 is made 
available from unobligated balances for fiscal year 2023 
operations for ONHIR. The Committee continues to urge ONHIR to 
complete its mission and bring about the closure of ONHIR in 
accordance with its authorizing statutes. The Committee does 
not recommend funds to relocate individuals who have not been 
certified as eligible for relocation. If rehearing or an appeal 
of a denial for relocation benefits is successful, ONHIR has 
sufficient unobligated balances to provide relocation 
assistance.
    The Committee understands that some appeals of the denial 
of relocation benefits are still pending and that others are 
within the statute of limitations to appeal a denial but have 
not yet done so. The Committee expects ONHIR to continue 
keeping the Committee informed of the status and resolution of 
appeals. In addition, the Committee is aware of pending 
lawsuits challenging the potential closure of ONHIR. The 
Committee urges ONHIR to continue working closely with the 
Navajo Nation, the Hopi Tribe, the Department of the Interior, 
and the Department of Justice to plan and implement the timely, 
reasonable, and fair closure of ONHIR and transfer of any 
legacy responsibilities to the appropriate parties. None of the 
funds may be used for the ultimate closure of ONHIR.

                        Smithsonian Institution

    The Smithsonian Institution is the world's largest museum 
and research complex, with 21 museums and galleries, 9 research 
centers, a library, archives, and the National Zoological Park, 
and more than 200 Smithsonian Affiliates in nearly every state, 
Puerto Rico, and Panama. Funded by both private and Federal 
sources, the Smithsonian is unique in the Federal 
establishment. Created by an Act of Congress in 1846 to carry 
out the trust included in James Smithson's will, in 2021 the 
Smithsonian celebrated 175 years of honoring its mission to 
promote ``the increase and diffusion of knowledge''. As 
custodian of the National Collections, the Smithsonian is 
responsible for overseeing more than 155 million objects, 
including scientific specimens, works of art, library volumes, 
archival materials, musical instruments, and live animals. 
These scientific and cultural collections are a vital resource 
for global research and conservation efforts. The collections 
are displayed for the enjoyment and education of visitors and 
are available for research by the staff of the Institution and 
by thousands of visiting students, scientists, and historians 
each year. Using its digital tools, the Smithsonian's goal is 
to share its treasures with millions across the country and the 
globe who cannot visit in person.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $852,215,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................       909,500,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................       909,500,000

  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +57,285,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................                 0
 

    The Committee recommends $909,500,000 for Salaries and 
Expenses of the Smithsonian Institution, $57,285,000 above the 
enacted level and equal to the budget request. The 
recommendation includes the requested fixed costs and program 
increases. Additional information and program increases are 
provided in the narrative below and in the detail table at the 
end of the report. The Committee supports the Smithsonian's 
efforts to transform into a virtual museum that complements 
their physical spaces to share their collection with millions 
across the country and the globe. The Smithsonian is in the 
process of creating two new museums, the National Museum of the 
American Latino, and the Smithsonian American Women's History 
Museum, which presents a unique opportunity to merge tradition 
and innovation in new ways and to enrich the American story by 
highlighting the contributions of women and Latinos to this 
nation. The board of trustees and advisory council members have 
been selected, museum leadership has been selected or is being 
finalized, and the Smithsonian is on track to meet the site 
selection deadline. The Smithsonian is directed to brief the 
Committee on a quarterly basis, so the Committee has a clear 
understanding of what is needed at each stage of development. 
The Committee remains concerned about the condition of existing 
Smithsonian buildings, deferred maintenance backlog, and 
implementing the Smithsonian's 2021 Climate Change Action Plan 
to assess vulnerability, enhance resilience, and take action to 
protect the collections. The recommendation provides funding to 
address these challenges.
    Additional Guidance.--The following additional direction 
and guidance is provided with respect to funding provided 
within this account:
    Accessibility.--The Committee understands the Smithsonian 
is committed to making all facilities accessible, including for 
individuals that are hard of hearing, and requests a report 
within 45 days of enactment of this Act describing how it meets 
that goal, where technology such as induction loops are 
appropriate, and how it collaborates with the National Park 
Service to ensure best practices are incorporated. The 
Committee also understands the Smithsonian established a 
charter and a working group that will initially focus on 
accessibility for websites and content, including audio, video, 
and images. The second phase of this effort will focus on 
technology in exhibits.
    Asian Pacific American Initiatives and Outreach.--The 
Committee supports the need to strengthen programming to 
commemorate Asian Pacific history and to continue its effort to 
acquire new materials for its collection and provides a total 
of $2,560,000 for the Asian Pacific Center and the Asian 
Pacific Pool which is now displayed for more transparency in 
the table at the end of this report in a new line under Museums 
and Research Institutes instead of as a component of 
Institution-wide programs and Administration. The Smithsonian 
is directed to provide a briefing on its strategy and how it 
disseminates Asian Pacific American educational materials to 
educators within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
    National Museum of African American History and Culture.--
The Committee maintains its longstanding support of the 
National Museum of African American History and Culture and 
acknowledges the work of the Office of Strategic Partnerships 
that delivers transformative support for African American and 
African Diaspora history and culture organizations regionally, 
nationally, and internationally and its HBCU History and 
Culture Access Consortium initiative.
    National Museum of the American Latino.--The Committee 
reaffirms and supports the intent of Congress that the new 
National Museum of the American Latino will be located on or 
near the National Mall, to the maximum extent practicable. The 
recommendation includes $10,392,000 equal to the budget 
request. This funding will continue recruiting and selecting 
personnel, especially in research, collections, education and 
communication through digital platforms while the Museum 
planning is underway.
    Smithsonian American Women's History Museum.--The Committee 
provides $9,568,000 for the Smithsonian's American Women's 
Initiative and the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum, 
equal to the budget request. This funding will continue 
recruiting and selecting personnel, forming planning and 
coordination teams to develop exhibitions, public programs, 
education, research, collections acquisition, technology, and 
developing the capacity for administrative operations. Through 
exhibitions, programs, educational content, and expansion of 
the national collection both online and on site, the 
Smithsonian Institution will better portray how women have 
shaped this country. The Committee reaffirms and supports the 
intent of Congress that the Smithsonian American Women's 
History Museum be located on or near the National Mall, to the 
maximum extent practicable.
    Outreach.--The Committee encourages the Institution to 
increase outreach and support activities through collaboration 
with local museums and other interested public and non-profit 
organizations. Through the Smithsonian's Traveling Exhibitions 
and Affiliations programs, Smithsonian expertise, art, science, 
historical artifacts, and rich educational programming can be 
shared throughout the Nation ensuring all Americans can learn 
and experience the magnificent history which millions find 
every year exhibited in Washington, D.C.
    Expanding upon the central tenet of the Smithsonian's 
mission, to share knowledge, the Smithsonian is encouraged to 
make their expertise available for projects aimed at preserving 
America's civil rights history abroad.
    Facilities Maintenance.--The Smithsonian-wide facility 
current replacement value is $9,450,000,000. The National 
Research Council recommends an annual maintenance budget in the 
range of two to four percent of a physical plant's current 
replacement value to avoid adding a deferred maintenance 
backlog. The Committee supports the Smithsonian's goal to 
further reduce its deferred maintenance backlog, estimated at 
$1,130,000,000, through coordinated efforts of its maintenance 
and Facilities Capital programs. The recommendation provides 
the budget request.
    The Committee continues to encourage the Smithsonian to 
work with the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish 
History to explore a plan for acquisition of the Museum and 
looks forward to the report requested in fiscal year 2022.

for the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum and the 
National Museum of the American Latino.

                        NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART

    The National Gallery of Art is one of the world's great 
galleries. Its magnificent works of art, displayed for the 
benefit of millions of visitors annually, and its two iconic 
buildings and sculpture garden, serve as an example of a 
successful cooperative endeavor between private individuals and 
institutions and the Federal government. With the special 
exhibitions shown in the Gallery, and through the many 
exhibitions which travel across the country, the Gallery brings 
great art treasures to Washington, DC, and to the Nation. 
Through its educational and teacher training programs and its 
website, the Gallery provides art history materials, rich 
online educational materials, direct loans, and broadcast 
programs to millions of Americans in every State.

general public across a wide spectrum of beliefs and 
backgrounds. The Center hosts more than 150 world-class 
scholars, journalists, former policymakers, and others per year 
to do their own research on the topics of the Center's

           National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities


                    National Endowment for the Arts


                       GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $180,000,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................       203,550,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................       207,000,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +27,000,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        +3,450,000
 

    The Committee recommends $207,000,000 for the National 
Endowment for the Arts (NEA), $27,000,000 above the enacted 
level and $3,450,000 above the budget request.
    The Committee recognizes the broad bipartisan support for 
the NEA and its work to promote access to the arts in every 
community across America. Each year, every district receives 
NEA funding to support art programs that can enhance economic 
development, create jobs, and expand arts learning.
    The Committee remains committed to supporting proven 
national initiatives with broad geographic reach. The Big Read, 
Challenge America, and Shakespeare in American Communities are 
among the cost-effective grant programs that extend the arts to 
underserved populations in both urban and rural communities 
across the United States. Through the innovative program, 
``Creative Forces: NEA Military Healing Arts Network,'' the 
NEA, in partnership with the Departments of Defense and 
Veterans Affairs, provides creative arts therapies and arts 
engagement strategies that promote healing and support the 
reintegration of service members and veterans recovering from 
traumatic brain injuries and psychological health issues.
    Addressing Equity Through the Arts.--The Committee 
recognizes the progress and commitment the NEA and the National 
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) have made to advance racial 
equity through the arts and humanities. The Committee strongly 
supports NEA and NEH continuing to make grants available to 
eligible entities, including faith-based and community-based 
organizations, with a specific focus on those that serve and 
are led by people of color, especially in underserved and rural 
communities. The Committee encourages additional focus on arts 
and humanities projects that highlight the history of systemic 
racism and the current work to overcome its impact. The NEA 
shall continue to report to Congress on actions taken to 
provide equitable outreach and education to increase engagement 
with and grant access to prospective applicants for funding.
    Diversity at the National Endowment.--The Committee 
continues to recognize the power of NEA grants to provide arts 
programming access to minority and underserved populations. 
These grant programs also have the potential to increase 
opportunities for, and develop the potential of, minority and 
underserved artists, particularly in the film, television, 
theater, publishing, and other industries. The Committee 
directs the NEA to continue prioritizing diversity in its work 
and to work with relevant stakeholders including Members of 
Congress on identifying ways to increase outreach and 
engagement with historically underrepresented communities and 
regions, as well as to continue prioritizing increasing 
diversity in NEA staff, the National Council of the Arts, 
Discipline Directors, and Peer Panelists.
    Maternal Music Programs.--The Committee recognizes the 
efficacy of maternal music programs to improve maternal health, 
early childhood development, and strengthen family bonds. NEA 
is encouraged to support music programs that promote maternal-
child wellbeing, particularly for mothers facing adversity, 
such as poverty, homelessness, incarceration, behavioral 
health, and teenage pregnancy. The NEA is directed to provide a 
report to the Committee not later than 180 days after the date 
of enactment of this Act on the NEA's past support for and 
future opportunities for supporting the use of music for 
maternal-child wellbeing.
    Tribal Engagement.--The Committee is encouraged to see the 
Endowment's efforts to ramp up engagement with Tribal 
governments and communities. The Committee strongly urges the 
NEA to continue to support projects that promote the culture, 
language, and related arts of indigenous peoples' communities, 
including American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native 
Hawaiians.
    The bill includes funding to continue the longstanding 
collaborative relationship between the NEA and the States. 
State governments match NEA grant funds to support programs 
that respond to local needs in arts education, community 
development, cultural preservation, and arts access. More than 
4,000 communities benefit annually from these programs.
    Bill Language.--As in previous years, bill language is 
included to provide grant program direction to the NEA. With 
the exception of established honorific programs, grant funding 
to individual artists is strictly prohibited. The Committee 
directs that priority be given to providing services or grant 
funding for projects, productions, or programs that encourage 
public knowledge, education, understanding, and appreciation of 
the arts.

                 National Endowment for the Humanities


                       GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION

 
 
 
Appropriation enacted, 2022...........................      $180,000,000
Budget estimate, 2023.................................       200,680,000
Recommended, 2023.....................................       207,000,000
Comparison:
  Appropriation, 2022.................................       +27,000,000
  Budget estimate, 2023...............................        +6,320,000
 

    The Committee recommends $207,000,000 for the National 
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), $27,000,000 above the 
enacted level and $6,320,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee expects the NEH to obligate and expend funds as 
directed in the table that is included at the end of this 
report.
    The Committee recognizes the broad bipartisan support for 
the NEH mission to serve and strengthen our nation by making 
the humanities available to all Americans. NEH programs support 
cultural infrastructure projects, education programs, and 
initiatives; advance scholarly research; and provide for 
exhibitions, documentaries, and the preservation of historic 
collections.
    The Committee commends the NEH for its support of grant 
programs to benefit wounded warriors and to ensure educational 
opportunities for veterans and service members transitioning to 
civilian life. In partnership with NEH, State humanities 
councils have developed and delivered local programs that 
support veterans, their families and caregivers. The Committee 
continues to encourage the NEH to fully support efforts to 
connect the humanities to the experience of veterans and 
provide educational opportunities to these American heroes.
    Collaboration with State Councils.--The bill includes 
funding to continue the longstanding collaborative relationship 
between the NEH and State humanities councils. The Committee 
commends the NEH for its ongoing, successful collaboration with 
State humanities councils in each of the 50 states as well as 
Washington, D.C., the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. 
Virgin Islands, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
Islands, and American Samoa. State humanities councils support 
public humanities programming in more than 6,000 rural and 
urban communities and nearly every congressional district. 
These programs increase public awareness of national issues 
such as the opioid epidemic, help veterans reintegrate into 
their communities, promote family literacy, and record and 
preserve the stories, language, and histories of our native 
cultures. The Committee urges the NEH to provide program 
funding to support the work of State humanities councils 
consistent with the guidance provided in the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2018.
    Diaspora Groups.--The Committee recognizes the cultural 
contributions of diaspora groups from nations and communities 
across the world to the United States and appreciates the value 
in preserving their traditions. The Committee recognizes the 
important work the NEH is doing to support the archival of 
stories, documents, and other materials from cultural diasporas 
worldwide. The Committee urges NEH to strengthen its 
partnerships with, and funding opportunities for cultural 
organizations across the country to collect additional stories, 
documents and materials from families and institutions 
dedicated to diaspora communities, including Eastern Europe, 
particularly among the former Soviet Union.
    Diversity at the National Endowment.--The Committee 
continues to recognize the power of NEH grants to provide 
humanities programming access to minority and underserved 
populations. The Committee directs the NEH to continue 
prioritizing diversity in its work and to work with relevant 
stakeholders including Members of Congress on identifying ways 
to increase outreach and engagement with historically 
underrepresented communities and regions, as well as to 
continue prioritizing increasing diversity in NEH staff, 
members of the National Council of the Humanities, Division 
Directors, and Peer Panelists.
    The Committee commends the Endowment's effort to establish 
an Office of Research and Analysis, Office of Outreach, and 
Chief Diversity Officer office. These offices will 
significantly bolster the Endowment's engagement with 
underserved communities and ensure the investments the 
Endowment makes are efficient and effective at reaching key 
audiences, including underserved and economically disadvantaged 
communities. To that end the Committee provides no less than 
$814,000 to establish an Office of Research and Analysis, 
$838,000 to establish an Office of Outreach, and $356,000 to 
establish an Office of the Chief Diversity Officer. The 
Committee is hopeful these investments will aid the NEH in 
reaching populations which have historically received 
proportionally less assistance from the Endowment.
    Documenting the Covid Pandemic.--The Committee recognizes 
the grave toll that the Covid-19 pandemic has had, and 
continues to have, on American families across the country. The 
Committee urges NEH to support the documentation of the Covid-
19 pandemic and its effects on Americans. Documentation might 
be done through podcasts, documentaries, oral histories, 
nonfiction books, and other types of humanities research. The 
Committee further encourages NEH to find an appropriate way to 
ensure that this documentation is freely available to the 
public.
    Equitable Outreach.--The NEH shall continue to report to 
Congress on actions taken to provide equitable outreach and 
education to increase engagement with and grant access to 
prospective applicants for funding.
    Indigenous Communities Support.--The Committee further 
commends the NEH for its ongoing support to American Indian and 
Alaska Native communities in preserving their cultural and 
linguistic heritage through the Documenting Endangered 
Languages program and a variety of preservation and access 
grants that enable American Indian and Alaska Native 
communities to preserve cultural artifacts and make them 
broadly accessible. The Committee encourages the NEH to expand 
its support to Native Hawaiian communities to ensure access to 
and preservation of cultural artifacts and practices across 
more indigenous communities. The Committee further commends the 
NEH for its support for Tribal colleges and encourages NEH to 
strengthen these relationships. The Committee encourages NEH to 
increase its outreach and support for projects and programs, 
such as the Humanities Initiatives at Tribal Colleges and 
Universities grant, that focus on Native Americans, including 
American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians.

                        Commission of Fine Arts

    The Commission of Fine Arts was established in 1910 to 
advise the government on questions of art and architecture and 
preserve the symbolic significance of the nation's capital. The 
Commission's work includes advice on designs for parks, public 
buildings, public art, as well as the design of national 
monuments, coins and medals, and overseas American military 
cemeteries. In addition, the Commission conducts design reviews 
of semipublic and private structures within the Old Georgetown 
Historic District and within certain areas of the National 
Capital that are adjacent to areas of Federal interest. The 
Commission also administers the National Capital Arts and 
Cultural Affairs program.

Holocaust Memorial Council with the mandate to create and 
oversee a living memorial/museum to victims of the Holocaust. 
The museum opened in April 1993. Construction costs for the 
museum came solely from donated funds raised by the U.S. 
Holocaust Memorial Museum Campaign, and appropriated funds were 
used for planning and development of programmatic components, 
overall administrative support, and annual commemorative 
observances. Since the opening of the museum, appropriated 
funds have been provided to pay for the ongoing operating costs

                                  1996

SEC. 104. DUTIES AND AUTHORITIES OF THE TRUST.

  (a) Overall Requirements of the Trust.--The Trust shall 
manage the leasing, maintenance, rehabilitation, repair and 
improvement of property within the Presidio under its 
administrative jurisdiction using the authorities provided in 
this section, which shall be exercised in accordance with the 
purposes set forth in section 1 of the Act entitled ``An Act to 
establish the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in the State 
of California, and for other purposes'', approved October 27, 
1972 (Public Law 92-589; 86 Stat. 1299; 16 U.S.C. 460bb), and 
in accordance with the general objectives of the General 
Management Plan (hereinafter referred to as the ``management 
plan'') approved for the Presidio.
  (B) Authorities.--The Trust may participate in the 
development of programs and activities at the properties 
transferred to the Trust, except that the Trust shall have the 
authority to negotiate and enter into such agreements, leases, 
contracts and other arrangements with any person, firm, 
association, organization, corporation or governmental entity, 
including, without limitation, entities of Federal, State and 
local governments as are necessary and appropriate to carry out 
its authorized activities. The National Park Service or any 
other Federal agency is authorized to enter into agreements, 
leases, contracts and other arrangements with the Presidio 
Trust which are necessary and appropriate to carry out the 
purposes of this title. Any such agreement may be entered into 
without regard to section 321 of the Act of June 30, 1932 (40 
U.S.C. 303b). The Trust may use alternative means of dispute 
resolution authorized under subchapter IV of chapter 5 of title 
5, United States Code (5 U.S.C. 571 et seq.). The Trust shall 
establish procedures for lease agreements and other agreements 
for use and occupancy of Presidio facilities, including a 
requirement that in entering into such agreements the Trust 
shall obtain reasonable competition. The Trust may not dispose 
of or convey fee title to any real property transferred to it 
under this title. Federal laws and regulations governing 
procurement by Federal agencies shall not apply to the Trust, 
with the exception of laws and regulations related to Federal 
government contracts governing working conditions and wage 
rates, including the provisions of sections 276a-276a-6 of 
title 40, United States Code (Davis-Bacon Act), and any civil 
rights provisions otherwise applicable thereto. The Trust, in 
consultation with the Administrator of Federal Procurement 
Policy, shall establish and promulgate procedures applicable to 
the Trust's procurement of goods and services including, but 
not limited to, the award of contracts on the basis of 
contractor qualifications, price, commercially reasonable 
buying practices, and reasonable competition. The Trust is 
authorized to use funds available to the Trust to purchase 
insurance and for reasonable reception and representation 
expenses, including membership dues, business cards and 
business related meal expenditures.
  (c) Management Program.--The Trust shall develop a 
comprehensive program for management of those lands and 
facilities within the Presidio which are transferred to the 
administrative jurisdiction of the Trust. Such program shall be 
designed to reduce expenditures by the National Park Service 
and increase revenues to the Federal Government to the maximum 
extent possible. In carrying out this program, the Trust shall 
be treated as a successor in interest to the National Park 
Service with respect to compliance with the National 
Environmental Policy Act and other environmental compliance 
statutes. Such program shall consist of--
          (1) demolition of structures which in the opinion of 
        the Trust, cannot be cost-effectively rehabilitated, 
        and which are identified in the management plan for 
        demolition,
          (2) evaluation for possible demolition or replacement 
        those buildings identified as categories 2 through 5 in 
        the Presidio of San Francisco Historic Landmark 
        District Historic American Buildings Survey Report, 
        dated 1985,
          (3) new construction limited to replacement of 
        existing structures of similar size in existing areas 
        of development, and
          (4) examination of a full range of reasonable options 
        for carrying out routine administrative and facility 
        management programs.
The Trust shall consult with the Secretary in the preparation 
of this program.
  (d) Financial Authorities.--(1) To augment or encourage the 
use of non-Federal funds to finance capital improvements on 
Presidio properties transferred to its jurisdiction, the Trust, 
in addition to its other authorities, shall have the following 
authorities subject to the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 
U.S.C. 661 et seq.):
          (A) The authority to guarantee any lender against 
        loss of principal or interest on any loan: Provided, 
        That--
                  (i) the terms of the guarantee are approved 
                by the Secretary of the Treasury;
                  (ii) adequate subsidy budget authority is 
                provided in advance in appropriations Acts; and
                  (iii) such guarantees are structured so as to 
                minimize potential cost to the Federal 
                Government. No loan guarantee under this title 
                shall cover more than 75 percent of the unpaid 
                balance of the loan. The Trust may collect a 
                fee sufficient to cover its costs in connection 
                with each loan guaranteed under this title. The 
                authority to enter into any such loan guarantee 
                agreement shall expire at the end of 15 years 
                after the date of enactment of this title.
          (B) The authority, subject to appropriations, to make 
        loans to the occupants of property managed by the Trust 
        for the preservation, restoration, maintenance, or 
        repair of such property.
          (2) The Trust shall also have the authority to issue 
        obligations to the Secretary of the Treasury, but only 
        if the Secretary of the Treasury agrees to purchase 
        such obligations to the extent authorized in advance in 
        appropriations acts. The Secretary of the Treasury is 
        authorized to use as a public debt transaction the 
        proceeds from the sale of any securities issued under 
        chapter 31 of title 31, United States Code, and the 
        purposes for which securities may be issued under such 
        chapter are extended to include any purchase of such 
        notes or obligations acquired by the Secretary of the 
        Treasury under this subsection. Obligations issued 
        under this subparagraph shall be in such forms and 
        denominations, bearing such maturities, and subject to 
        such terms and conditions, including a review of the 
        creditworthiness of the loan and establishment of a 
        repayment schedule, as may be prescribed by the 
        Secretary of the Treasury, and shall bear interest at a 
        rate determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, 
        taking into consideration current market yields on 
        outstanding marketable obligations of the United States 
        of comparable maturities. No funds appropriated to the 
        Trust may be used for repayment of principal or 
        interest on, or redemption of, obligations issued under 
        this paragraph.
          (3) The aggregate amount of obligations issued under 
        paragraph (2) of this subsection which are outstanding 
        at any one time may not exceed [$150,000,000] 
        $250,000,000.
  (e) Donations.--The Trust may solicit and accept donations of 
funds, property, supplies, or services from individuals, 
foundations, corporations, and other private or public entities 
for the purpose of carrying out its duties. The Trust is 
encouraged to maintain a liaison with the Golden Gate National 
Park Association.
  (f) Public Agency.--The Trust shall be deemed to be a public 
agency for purposes of entering into joint exercise of powers 
agreements pursuant to California government code section 6500 
and related provisions of that Code.
  (g) Financial Management.--Notwithstanding section 1341 of 
title 31 of the United States Code, all proceeds and other 
revenues received by the Trust shall be retained by the Trust. 
Those proceeds shall be available, without further 
appropriation, to the Trust for the administration, 
preservation, restoration, operation and maintenance, 
improvement, repair and related expenses incurred with respect 
to Presidio properties under its administrative jurisdiction. 
The Secretary of the Treasury shall invest, at the direction of 
the Trust, such excess moneys that the Trust determines are not 
required to meet current withdrawals. Such investment shall be 
in public debt securities with maturities suitable to the needs 
of the Trust and bearing interest at rates determined by the 
Secretary of the Treasury taking into consideration the current 
average yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the 
United States of comparable maturity.
  (h) Suits.--The Trust may sue and be sued in its own name to 
the same extent as the Federal Government. Litigation arising 
out of the activities of the Trust shall be conducted by the 
Attorney General; except that the Trust may retain private 
attorneys to provide advice and counsel. The District Court for 
the Northern District of California shall have exclusive 
jurisdiction over any suit filed against the Trust.
  (i) Memorandum of Agreement.--The Trust shall enter into a 
Memorandum of Agreement with the Secretary, acting through the 
Chief of the United States Park Police, for the conduct of law 
enforcement activities and services within those portions of 
the Presidio transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of 
the Trust.
  (j) Bylaws, Rules, and Regulations.--The Trust may adopt, 
amend, repeal, and enforce bylaws, rules and regulations 
governing the manner in which its business may be conducted and 
the powers vested in it may be exercised, including rules and 
regulations for the use and management of the property under 
the Trust's jurisdiction. The Trust is authorized, in 
consultation with the Secretary, to adopt and to enforce those 
rules and regulations that are applicable to the Golden Gate 
National Recreation Area and that may be necessary and 
appropriate to carry out its duties and responsibilities under 
this title. The Trust shall give notice of the adoption of such 
rules and regulations by publication in the Federal Register.
  (k) Direct Negotiations.--For the purpose of compliance with 
applicable laws and regulations concerning properties 
transferred to the Trust by the Secretary, the Trust shall 
negotiate directly with regulatory authorities.
  (l) Insurance.--The Trust shall require that all leaseholders 
and contractors procure proper insurance against any loss in 
connection with properties under lease or contract, or the 
authorized activities granted in such lease or contract, as is 
reasonable and customary.
  (m) Building Code Compliance.--The Trust shall bring all 
properties under its administrative jurisdiction into 
compliance with Federal building codes and regulations 
appropriate to use and occupancy within 10 years after the 
enactment of this title to the extent practicable.
  (n) Leasing.--In managing and leasing the properties 
transferred to it, the Trust shall consider the extent to which 
prospective tenants contribute to the implementation of the 
general objectives of the General Management Plan for the 
Presidio and to the reduction of cost to the Federal 
Government. The Trust shall give priority to the following 
categories of tenants: Tenants that enhance the financial 
viability of the Presidio and tenants that facilitate the cost-
effective preservation of historic buildings through their 
reuse of such buildings.
  (o) Reversion.--If, at the expiration of 15 years, the Trust 
has not accomplished the goals and objectives of the plan 
required in section 105(b) of this title, then all property 
under the administrative jurisdiction of the Trust pursuant to 
section 103(b) of this title shall be transferred to the 
Administrator of the General Services Administration to be 
disposed of in accordance with the procedures outlined in the 
Defense Authorization Act of 1990 (104 Stat. 1809), and any 
real property so transferred shall be deleted from the boundary 
of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. In the event of 
such transfer, the terms and conditions of all agreements and 
loans regarding such lands and facilities entered into by the 
Trust shall be binding on any successor in interest.
  (p) Exclusive Rights to Name and Insignia.--The Trust shall 
have the sole and exclusive right to use the words 'Presidio 
Trust' and any seal, emblem, or other insignia adopted by its 
Board of Directors. Without express written authority of the 
Trust, no person may use the words ``Presidio Trust'', or any 
combination or variation of those words alone or with other 
words, as the name under which that person shall do or purport 
to do business, for the purpose of trade, or by way of 
advertisement, or in any manner that may falsely suggest any 
connection with the Trust.

make such additional studies as are herein or may hereafter be 
authorized by the Congress for the purpose of determining the 
feasibility and desirability of designating other trails as 
national scenic or national historic trails. Such studies shall 
be made in consultation with the heads of other Federal 
agencies administering lands through which such additional 
proposed trails would pass and in cooperation with interested 
interstate, State, and local governmental agencies, public and 
private organizations, and landowners and land users concerned. 
The feasibility of designating a trail shall be determined on 
the basis of an evaluation of whether or not it is physically 
possible to develop a trail along a route being studied, and 
whether the development of a trail would be financially 
feasible. The studies listed in subsection (c) of this section 
shall be completed and submitted to the Congress, with 
recommendations as to the suitability of trail designation, not 
later than three complete fiscal years from the date of 
enactment of their addition to this subsection, or from the 
date of enactment of this sentence, whichever is later. Such 
studies, when submitted, shall be printed as a House or Senate 
document, and shall include, but not be limited to:
          (1) the proposed route of such trail (including maps 
        and illustrations);
          (2) the areas adjacent to such trails, to be utilized 
        for scenic, historic, natural, cultural, or 
        developmental purposes;
          (3) the characteristics which, in the judgment of the 
        appropriate Secretary, make the proposed trail worthy 
        of designation as a national scenic or national 
        historic trail; and in the case of national historic 
        trails the report shall include the recommendation of 
        the Secretary of the Interior's National Park System 
        Advisory Board as to the national historic significance 
        based on the criteria developed under the Historic 
        Sites Act of 1935 (49 Stat. 666; 16 U.S.C. 461);
          (4) the current status of land ownership and current 
        and potential use along the designated route;
          (5) the estimated cost of acquisition of lands or 
        interest in lands, if any;
          (6) the plans for developing and maintaining the 
        trail and the cost thereof;
          (7) the proposed Federal administering agency (which, 
        in the case of a national scenic or national historic 
        trail wholly or substantially within a national forest, 
        shall be the Department of Agriculture);
          (8) the extent to which a State or its political 
        subdivisions and public and private organizations might 
        reasonably be expected to participate in acquiring the 
        necessary lands and in the administration thereof;
          (9) the relative uses of the lands involved, 
        including: the number of anticipated visitor-days for 
        the entire length of, as well as for segments of, such 
        trail; the number of months which such trail, or 
        segments thereof, will be open for recreation purposes; 
        the economic and social benefits which might accrue 
        from alternate land uses; and the estimated man-years 
        of civilian employment and expenditures expected for 
        the purposes of maintenance, supervision, and 
        regulation of such trail;
          (10) the anticipated impact of public outdoor 
        recreation use on the preservation of a proposed 
        national historic trail and its related historic and 
        archeological features and settings, including the 
        measures proposed to ensure evaluation and preservation 
        of the values that contribute to their national 
        historic significance; and
          (11) to qualify for designation as a national 
        historic trail, a trail must meet all three of the 
        following criteria:
                  (A) It must be a trail or route established 
                by historic use and must be historically 
                significant as a result of that use. The route 
                need not currently exist as a discernible trail 
                to qualify, but its location must be 
                sufficiently known to permit evaluation of 
                public recreation and historical interest 
                potential. A designated trail should generally 
                accurately follow the historic route, but may 
                deviate somewhat on occasion of necessity to 
                avoid difficult routing through subsequent 
                development, or to provide some route variation 
                offering a more pleasurable recreational 
                experience. Such deviations shall be so noted 
                on site. Trail segments no longer possible to 
                travel by trail due to subsequent development 
                as motorized transportation routes may be 
                designated and marked onsite as segments which 
                link to the historic trail.
                  (B) It must be of national signficance with 
                respect to any of several broad facets of 
                American history, such as trade and commerce, 
                exploration, migration and settlement, or 
                military campaigns. To qualify as nationally 
                significant, historic use of the trail must 
                have had a far-reaching effect on broad 
                patterns of American culture. Trails 
                significant in the history of native Americans 
                may be included.
                  (C) It must have significant potential for 
                public recreational use or historical interest

                sites associated with the trail. The presence 
                of recreation potential not related to historic 
                appreciation is not sufficient justification 
                for designation under this category.

                 CHANGES IN APPLICATION OF EXISTING LAW

    Pursuant to clause 3(f)(1)(A) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the following statements are 
submitted describing the effect of provisions in the 
accompanying bill, which directly or indirectly change the 
application of existing law. In most instances these provisions 
have been included in prior appropriations Acts.
    The bill includes the following changes in application of 
existing law:

                              OVERALL BILL

    Providing that certain appropriations remain available 
until expended, or extending the availability of funds beyond 
the fiscal year where programs or projects are continuing but 
for which legislation does not specifically authorize such 
extended availability. This authority tends to result in 
savings by preventing the practice of committing funds on low 
priority projects at the end of the fiscal year to avoid losing 
the funds.
    Limiting, in certain instances, the obligation of funds for 
particular functions or programs. These limitations include 
restrictions on the obligation of funds for administrative 
expenses, travel expenses, the use of consultants, and 
programmatic areas within the overall jurisdiction of a 
particular agency.
    Limiting official entertainment or reception and 
representation expenses for selected agencies in the bill.
    Continuing ongoing activities of certain critical Federal 
agencies or programs, which require re-authorization or other 
legislation which has not been enacted.

provide a revised section 302(a) allocation reflecting an 
additional $2,550 million in discretionary budget authority and 
$876 million in associated outlays for those recommended 
amounts. That new allocation will eliminate the technical 
difference prior to floor consideration.

             Comparative Statement of New Budget Authority

    The following table provides the amounts recommended by the 
Committee compared with the budget estimates by account.

[GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]


                             MINORITY VIEWS

    We appreciate the efforts of Full Committee Chair DeLauro 
and Subcommittee Chair Pingree, along with their staff, in 
producing an Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2023 that addresses 
critical priorities of Members on both sides of the aisle. The 
bill provides funding for many bipartisan programs that help 
conserve and protect our nation's most critical natural, 
cultural, and environmental resources, and advances the 
Committee's longstanding efforts to increase the federal 
commitment to honor our treaties and trust responsibilities to 
American Indians and Alaska Natives.
    The bill provides strong support for National Parks, helps 
fight catastrophic wildfires, addresses aging water 
infrastructure and contaminated lands, and fully funds the 
Payments in Lieu of Taxes program. We also appreciate the 
bill's important investments in Indian Country and robust 
support for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
    Unfortunately, due to concerns about current inflation 
rates, unsustainable government-wide spending levels, and the 
addition of controversial policy provisions, we are not able to 
support the bill as currently drafted. The bill provides 
$47,325,000,000 in new discretionary budget authority, which 
includes $2,550,000,000 for emergency wildfire suppression 
costs if needed. This record-high spending level is 
$6,875,000,000, or 17 percent above the comparable fiscal year 
2022 enacted level. This level of spending is not justified and 
ignores our unsustainable fiscal trajectory.
    With record-high inflation under this Administration, now 
is the time to limit spending. Instead, the Majority's bill 
gave numerous agencies a double-digit percentage increase over 
last year. These excessive increases will continue growing the 
size and reach of the Federal government without helping 
American families struggling with inflation.
    The bill includes several controversial new policies, 
including policies that would weaken U.S. energy and mineral 
security. The bill also removes or weakens longstanding 
provisions such as protecting the greater sage-grouse from 
unnecessary environmental litigation and affirming that biomass 
energy is carbon-neutral.
    Unfortunately, the Majority rejected several Republican 
amendments that would have supported an all-of-the-above 
domestic energy strategy and put America back on the path to 
energy independence, which is imperative to our national 
security. These amendments would have improved the bill by: 
directing the Department of the Interior to hold three overdue 
offshore lease sales and allowing continued oil and gas 
development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge; prohibiting 
the Department of the Interior from delaying permits for 
critical mineral projects and from withdrawing lands from new 
mineral and geothermal leasing; increasing funding for critical 
minerals research to the requested level; and preventing the 
Environmental Protection Agency from implementing burdensome 
regulations, limiting overregulation as the country faces 
potential rolling power outages due to the strain on the energy 
grid.
    Other amendments rejected by the Majority would have: 
restored the longstanding provision that prevents the listing 
of greater sage-grouse under the Endangered Species Act; 
prevented the Environmental Protection Agency from implementing 
new regulations defining ``waters of the United States'' until 
the Supreme Court issues a decision in a pending case; 
prevented a transfer of funds from the already-underfunded 
Customs and Border Protection to environmental mitigation at 
the border; and restored two longstanding, bipartisan 
agriculture provisions that exempt farmers and livestock 
producers from burdensome greenhouse gas permitting and 
reporting requirements.
    While we have many concerns with the bill and are 
disappointed that the Majority rejected several attempts to 
improve the bill, we are hopeful that we will be able to reach 
a bipartisan and bicameral agreement on spending and eliminate 
controversial policy changes.
    We are confident that as this process moves forward, we can 
continue working together to find bipartisan agreement on the 
items that matter most.
                                   Kay Granger.
